All right all card ship It might be worth looking up some of these rookies here You may be surprised worth looking up almost every one of these cards that you get especially parallels Because it you may be surprised at how well they do in the secondary market nice Jaden Sancho We were talking about him off off camera Not too long about where he may end up in England perhaps northern England perhaps Jaden Sancho for Matt Lieber and England Ah Jens is gonna take is thinking England the three Lions. It's coming home. Well, they got some guys Here's Cristiano Ronaldo for Portugal Leo with Portugal they got guys like Jaden Sancho Phil Foden Dead Mark still in it man Poor poor Christian Erickson. I think he's on the mend though I'm a fan of Diago Jota because he's on my club Liverpool Pretty disappointing performance from France. It's the way they lost was That to me was on it was it was unexpected. They were up 3-1 this 76 some odd minute 70 plus minutes and there's Diote Uh 88 out of 99 for the blue the blue parallel for the blue for France Matt Lieber with that one Yeah, Portugal to although Portugal you kind of saw it coming because that they just struggled with The defense was a struggle for them And so we knew that they would ship goals There's Declan Rice par that England midfield Mose pattern that Killian Mbappe It's got a lot to think about until the next major tournament What may some green would we like him to? There's Tony Cruz Germany will have some re tinkering to do I think Germany fired their let their coach go or is that Or no, did that happen?  I think people are all into some some Some UEFA Euro 2020 soccer all right second box Yeah, and I I like this too because it's like it's mosaic first of all And I think mosaic the mosaic brand has been pretty popular So take a popular brand and something you don't see too often soccer And that's a good combination After having like multiple matches a day for like the last couple of weeks or so I was kind of lost like the last couple days is like just turning on tv. It's like wait, there's no soccer I usually wake up and there's something going on and I was like All right There's a lot of stuff going on friday and tithers bukayo's soccer um Kid from a kid on arsenal. I don't know brian. We were just talking about that a few minutes ago Switzerland spain belgium italy check republic demarchy korean italy What do I have gone? I feel like Just because I mean i'm so so much more familiar with the the players on the england squad Like my heart is kind of with the england squad And and you know, they're they're You haven't won a major tournament since 1966. I want to say there's a jack realish red but my wallet Was on I think my wallet was on france. They disappointed me But I've sprinkled a little bit on italy switzerland and denmark. I want to say so I feel like the swiss can get by spain All right, no But then if they face italy or belgium, I think it's going to be tough for the swiss I don't know ukraine's in the quarterfinals So Alexander zubkov could make a name for himself It'd be nice to have his mosaic rookie if he does or his mosaic silver Both of those going to scott and the ukraine He'll be paying attention to the ukraine england match on saturday You know get this guy, too And we got paolo maldini Forza azuri That's going to go to jonathan with italy Yeah, it seems like it could be it could be england's time. That is for sure Um We know that they've got the they haven't really flashed it just yet at least in the group stage But they certainly have the offense But it's their uh, it's actually their defense that has been playing really well, so I don't know. I know everyone wants like everyone wants like hey, let's let's get some sexy football going, you know but And I think uh, I think england has a decent combination of young players some old players Some offensive minded players, but a steady midfield in defense. I think it's been pretty solid And lu kaku is pretty dangerous for belgium. We'll see him in action The one four five six saying us will be a contender for a world cut within 10 years contender maybe I know that I know that I don't I can't tell I I'll be honest with that. I haven't really followed the us team too closely But in the gold cup coming up. I think we can but I'm pretty sure the us has a lot of youngsters At a similar age in the in their early 20s who could all be in the same window that peaks when the world cup arrives in north america So by then With essentially a home field advantage For us that could be our best shot For the unites for this is a best shot for for us for The next x amount of decades 35 out of 99 virtual van dyke the big liverpool center back injured did his acl, but I'll be reasonable in netherland struggled in the tournament but my my colleague nick jaspy Who uh, who I believe plays a lot of fifa was saying joe there's actually a lot of a lot of a lot of youngsters in their Early 20s coming up the ranks that could you pull a stitch? There's only like 22 or something like that a bunch of other younger players in their early 20s That could peak around the time the world cut comes to north america. So that might be our best shot fingers crossed I'm joe for jaspy's case breaks.com. This was random country break number three mosaic footy I'll see you next time for another one. Bye. Bye


The first question is from NAD7719. Can you please share your success stories of helping really overweight clients and how you help them? It is such a different journey than training athletes and people who just wanna lose a few pounds. It is a very difficult task when you're dealing with somebody who has that kind of a relationship with food because when you're talking about really overweight people, I consider I would say 60, 70 pounds plus overweight, right? Average person wants to lose weight with me was anywhere between 20 to 30 pounds. Once it got 60 to 100, typically you're dealing with someone that's been overweight for most of their life. Their relationship with food is a very difficult one to change because food to them, kind of like a drug, it's used to numb feelings or they found comfort in it. And so it's a difficult thing to change, a very, very difficult thing to change. The way I used to train people who were really overweight was very different than the way I ended up training them later on in my career. The way I first started training them was here's your meal plan, you gotta get strict, you gotta show up to the gym this many days a week. That's it, we're gonna do it. We're gonna low calorie, burn a lot of calories. All discipline-based.  And this was successful in the short term. I would get people to lose weight in the short term. I got none of them to keep it off. None of them to keep it off. And it took me a while to really figure this out and I remember the first time I actually figured this out. I had a client who came and saw me who was 100 pounds overweight. And as I was, and I remember this because I was showing them around the facility, I sat them down and they were visibly uncomfortable and shy. Okay? Now this is kind of common with this type of client where you can feel that they're, I mean, think about it. They probably haven't worked out in a gym like ever and they feel uncomfortable. They feel like they're being watched, like they don't fit in. But this was really the first time when I really felt it. Like I was really paying attention. I remember they were super uncomfortable. So then we sat down and I thought, I need to communicate to this person a little bit differently because I can tell that they're intimidated by the weights and by other people working out. So we started talking about their goals and what got them to where they were.  I'm gonna change my approach. I'm gonna, this time I'm gonna be successful long term. And so I said, look, I said, here's the deal. I said, I've trained a lot of people in your situation and I've had a lot of failures. And here's why. The reason why I'm telling you this is not to motivate you to not be the failure. The reason why I'm telling you this is because we're not gonna use that strategy. Here's what I wanna do with you. I want you to come in, train with me, we'll figure out how many days a week is realistic for you to show up and we're not even gonna try to lose weight. I don't even, let's not even talk about weight loss. I know you said that's your number one goal, but let's start with you coming in one day a week meeting with me and let's do that until this is something that you're not afraid of and you don't hate because she had told me that, you know, she was intimidated. And she thought that was a great idea. She hired me and we took this very slow approach. We didn't talk about weight. In fact, I told her to not weigh herself. I said, you know, I know maybe you thought you should weigh yourself to track her. Let's not do that at all. I didn't tell her to take anything out of her diet. What I did is I started adding things to her diet. You know, Adam talks about this a lot himself. And it was this kind of slow process. Here's what happened. The first year she got stronger, improved her mobility, started to enjoy the way she felt, started to enjoy showing up at the gym. She got comfortable there because she would have conversations with me, conversations with the other clients that happened to work out at the same time. She became a staple in the facility. She came to the Christmas party that I had every year, talked to people, everybody treated her amazingly. She lost no weight the first year. She just got stronger and felt better. This ended towards the end of the second year, she on her own started to make changes to her diet. And she would come to me and say, okay, Sal, I'm ready. I think I wanna make some changes. I've already eliminated soda. And remember she said that to me.  That's beautiful. Let's just stick with that for now. So by the end of the second year, she started to see some results. It was the third year that she started to lose the weight. She lost all of it and it never came back. In fact, I still am friends with her on Facebook. Until this day, she's kept the weight off. So now we're talking, I don't know, 10 years later. She's kept it off. She's not one of those statistics, which is a majority of people, especially in that category that fail. She did not fail. She has a very good relationship with exercise. I see her posting pictures of hiking. She likes to bake. She still bakes foods that she enjoys, but she's got this great relationship with exercise. That was the first time I was able to really piece together what gives people long-term results.  For many years, I think I did a really bad job. And so the back half, I would say, or at least the last five years of training clients, this was actually what I focused on. So I actually stopped training a lot of athletes. It would be a rare occasion. And I actually really enjoyed this type of client. And I think it was because I was very motivated to figure this out, because I didn't do such a good job in the early years. And I think what made me realize where I went wrong, and this person did a great job asking this question, because they compare it to training athletes, why it's so different, and you're right. The journey is completely different, and they're at a different place. So the irony of that as a young or immature trainer, you sometimes approach almost every client of the same way. Here's your meal plan, how many days a week can you commit to, and you write a good workout, right?  And the truth is that everybody is at a different place and their journey, and a good trainer will learn how to meet that person where they're currently at. And that light bulb didn't go off for me till way later on in my career. And it's so funny when you think about it though, it's so obvious. It's like you wouldn't treat somebody learning a language that way. You wouldn't treat an athlete even that way.  Exactly. And if you're somebody who's really, really overweight, it's more than just a calories-in-calories-out thing. There's a relationship that you've established with food. There's a lack or a relationship that you've dealt with with exercise and movement. There's a lot of things that have came into play that have got us in the place that we are. And so I wanna slowly start to unravel all of that versus like here, throwing it all at them, just like I was using the example of learning a language. If you've got somebody who has no clue about anything and you all of a sudden start speaking to them in that other language, it's gonna be really tough for that person. Maybe some people start to pick things up and they might learn or see some results that way, but it's gonna be really hard to get it to stick like what Saul was saying. And so it really was about learning where they're at and then setting very small, realistic, obtainable goals that then can become part of their lifestyle. And one of those things is, if they came in and said, I could commit to three or four days a week of training, absolutely, I didn't want them to do that. Like Saul said, let's just start with one day a week or two days a week, something that you know that you can stick to. This is also where I started to add things to the diet. Many times when I would get clients like this, it would be somebody who you would think was eating McDonald's four or five times a day and a ton of calories and just sitting on a couch watching TV. That wasn't the case.  And so it was like, I would look at them and I'd be like, wow, they're this much overweight. They're only consuming this much. They've really slowed their metabolism down. I definitely can't take this person and tell them to eat less than what they're already eating so I needed to add food. So, and like what Saul said, I would not focus on weight loss. That's not, right? It's all about making good habits in your life right now and let's start with one or two at a time and slowly build on that. And after I would build on it, I would want them to stay consistent with it for a couple months before I even thought about adding something else or taking anything else away because I, and I really wanted them to be the one to like be begging for it. Like, Adam, I'm like, this is, I haven't missed a day on this, it's going great, I feel good, what else can I do? Okay, now we're ready for the next thing to focus on. And that's just it. I think that when you get in that situation, there's normally something that triggers them to come in that day and hire the trainer or start on their fitness journey. And they're highly motivated because of emotions.  And so all of a sudden they're making a decision based off of emotions. They're emotionally fired up and they want to make a change. And a lot of times, just like in any other aspect of our life, when we respond emotionally all the time, it's not the most logical approach to doing things. And so as a coach and as a trainer, I had to really watch that and then help them understand that. Listen, I feel you and I understand what you want, but this will be a better strategy. And then explaining to them to set small goals, let's hit that out the park before we add any more to it. Yeah, and this may sound a bit redundant because I definitely went through the same experience and came to the same conclusion as you both did with training these people. To add to that, as far as when somebody comes in with this type of urgency and emotion and they're driven and they really, you could tell, they really care about themselves now more than ever. This is really what drives a lot of personal trainers and health professionals into their field. They want to match that emotion. They want to match that urgency and they want that same result as their client. Like I felt passionate about trying to get them to that place and I wanted to be a part of that, like so bad that it was misplaced energy that I was putting in my initial clients where I was so focused on, let's get to it, let's get to it, let's get to it. And it really took a lot of time and people that I've trained to realize this sort of conundrum where much like when you're given to a charitable organization where you go in somewhere else where you realize that just giving people things isn't the solution. Like this isn't what's really gonna help them long term. They really have to own it themselves and build themselves from within. But how do I be a part of that and be around that and provide them with the necessary things to make that happen? And for me, that was the lesson, that I am just here as like a vessel. I'm here to be able to provide what's necessary in whatever stage you're at. So I had to listen a lot more. I had to ask more questions and that was like what I had to learn as a trainer was what are the needs right now? More so than what you need to do. What you need to do is this, like I'm not driving the ship. You're driving it. What do you need from me? And to ask those kind of questions more was I got a totally different result. Oh, totally. It became for me about creating a new relationship first with exercise, a good one. And then later on one with food, which is why when they show up to the gym, it turned into something they really enjoyed coming to. They enjoyed coming to it not because of the hard, crazy workouts. Sometimes we'd have those, but really because it was a place where everybody was cool with them. Hey, how do you feel today? Oh, you're really tired. All right, today we're gonna do things that are gonna help relieve stress. Sometimes I would take this woman on a walk. She would show up and she'd be like, oh man, I had, you know, got terrible sleep. I've been really whatever. Like, you know what? Instead of working out in here, let's just go for a 45 minute walk. Or you know what I'm gonna do today? I'm just gonna stretch you out.  We're not gonna do anything with resistance. I'm just gonna stretch you out. So I stretch out. So this person showed up when they felt bad. That's what you want. What you want is you want a client. Okay, a client who calls, who shows up when they feel great and weren't ready to work out. Okay, congratulations. You did nothing. That's easy. You want your clients to show up when they don't feel like showing up, when they feel bad. If your client calls you and says, hey man, I feel really terrible. Can I come in and see you today? Then you know you're doing a good job.


Hello and welcome to Jonathan from the heart my name is Jonathan assay from Jonathan assay.com and I'm so excited to be shooting this short video for you today our topic can a man love again love love again after his heart's been broken can a man love again after his heart's been broken all right real quickly if you're new to my youtube channel please hit the subscribe button hit the bell so you can be notified of new content these are my Saturday morning videos where I get a little more personal with everyone today so can a man love again love or is it love love again love again after his heart's been broken um this is a really tricky tough or this is a real tough subject because I know from personal experience where I felt what I felt was deeply in love with a woman and I was incredibly attached to her that it felt very hard to you know even though I wanted to fill the gap like okay so here's the thing I was in a relationship with someone where I loved her deeply very deeply attached and when it ended I had this need to immediately fill the gap immediately fill the gap and what I mean is because there was this whole inside of me right there's this person that was in my life is no longer in my life and so um oh by the way my mug says love yourself and the t-shirt says humankind be both if you like my mug or shirt please post a comment below okay so I had to fill that void right away this oftentimes happens when someone has left our life this need to immediately fill the void and while we might seek companionship connection and even sex does that mean we're actually ready to love again to love again and I believe the answer is every man is capable but most men might get stuck when they've had an experience that didn't work out from them and they're stuck on that other person and I say that because I was there for a long period of time after my divorce I um some years later I met a fantastic woman we went on a six-year on and off relationship believe me I might be a dating relationship coach but I'm not perfect I'm human like everyone else I have my foibles I'm still learning about myself and our relationship lasted six years and after it ended the last time thankfully we had a couple breakups along the way which allowed me to wean myself from this from this person that I was very attached to attached to okay the word attached now if you're not familiar with the book getting the love you want by Harvelle Hendricks this is a such an important book to understand yourself and to understand men because what happens is we oftentimes choose partners in our life that are very familiar to our family upbringing so we might actually be like what the book says attached and if you check out the book attached to understand how we might attach ourselves to another human being based on what Harvelle Hendricks talks about the Amago or Amir Levine talks about our love attachment style which isn't true love it isn't true love and I say this because how can we truly love another until we love ourselves love yourself this is why I'm a big proponent of reading my book what the heck is self love anyway check out the links below I've got my Jonathan recommends book so understand that man or woman we can get attached to another human being believe that it's love real genuine heartfelt love when it's simply following a pattern from our childhood or in a love attachment style please read these books so you can understand these dynamics so today as I want to introduce you to a new book and if you're not familiar the work of David Data David Data wrote a fantastic book called the way of the superior man the way of superior man but he also has another book called it's a guy thing it's a guy thing an owner's manual for women to understand men and while I don't agree with everything in this book what I appreciate most is that when we start to understand the opposite sex when men start to understand women and women start to understand men we can predict behavior we can predict what's going on and when we can predict things we can make better choices in our lives so when it comes to understanding if a man can love again I want you to understand the dynamics of men not through the female filter through the female filter but through the male filter the male filter this is why I want you to check out this book it's a guy thing so you can understand how men operate differently than women because it's not about men and women it's about human here we'll go humankind it's about we human beings are you we're similar and yet we are different but it takes time to go I want to understand the opposite sex and then I invite the opposite sex to understand the opposite for those that are seeking heterosexual relationships by investing in understanding the other person this is one of our big problems and this is why what I want to say is can a man love after being hurt absolutely after having his heart broken he is capable of that when the work is done on oneself to heal to heal this is why I'm such a big proponent of reading and going to workshops and doing personal development self-help and spiritual work so when one is healed they feel like they're in a good place I know for myself I wasn't in a good place after my relationship ended it took me it took me a year to really heal from that and then sadly I lost my mother I lost my son my business I didn't feel like working and I've spent the last few years really healing myself and I only share this with you I've worked on loving myself because I'm a big proponent of self-love I'm a big proponent of self-love and now in my coaching program I help women vet men so you can recognize the guys who are ready for a relationship and the guys who are not and if you want some help with that check out my link for a free discovery call to see if working with the coach is right for you because when you understand which man is ready for a relationship and which man isn't then you can make better choices and I'm here to to do that for you I'm here to help make better choices sometimes I yell and scream and sometimes I'm a big protector and sometimes I act like your big brother and sometimes I'm cursing oh I just realized I didn't curse okay fuck I just cursed sometimes I act parental all these things is because I want to shake things up and invite you to look at things a different way and I hope today you got a sense of that all right I'm going to wrap up today's video oh by the way check out the links below in the description to see if any of those would work for you okay I'm going to wrap up this video as I always do first off giving myself a big gigantic job the mere hug of self-love I'm going to reach into the camera and give you a hug of love if that's okay I'm going to ask you to turn to somebody and give them a hug of love because hugs are a great source of love and we can all use more love in our lives I want to thank you so much and wishing you a super duper wonderful day bye bye now


Two-time champion. I actually believe in their talent. These are two 20-year-old kids that have never played in front of the crowd. They've never played in an environment like this. Bookline sinkers. They've got two guys that can pitch. My favorite to win is the team that I picked and seeded at number one before the tournament began and that's lovey-dovey. It looks so happy. Once more battle. We're out with numbers, three. We filmed the first one last January, second one in August and now here we are for three. You're in the head of the technical area. You get all this different stuff and it's a lot different than the first football battle we were using go-pros and cards and now we've got all this. So it's nine-day football battle one. Every single tournament, the warehouse takes an evolution. We have a switcher.  We have a state-of-the-art audio system. We got two audio guys. We got replay operators. We got a couple camera operators. We have a director. We have the booth. We have the umpires. We have operators on the floor. We got PAs. Now it's all a whole team of people working together. It's actually been pretty crazy to watch. It's like a, it's like a, like a local news station. We're live switching, calling for replays and like, you know, right? They're like, hey, show camera too. Listen, I've had the good fortune of covering 17 Super Bowls, 16 World Series, Fox, CBS, NBC, ESPN. They would love to have a set up like this. One where I tipped in, remember the one where I tipped in like, streamed. I was like, that should never, it's because I nicked, I don't know, he tipped his fastball so far. Because he just comes straight over the top. You can tell like this. I can't throw a start that way. One out, runner-up second for team Kaden. I thought that might have been gone. Bring him on home, Jake. Bring him on home. Yeah. So obviously I play a lot of Blitzball. Probably just with my friends either at a park or a rec field or something like that. And so to come indoors to a warehouse that's like been tailor-made for games like this and Blitzball like this is wild. Very different game from what we play at home, but there's elements that are the similar. I think the best trade our team has is play discipline. We've played Blitzball for the longest time, so we've known the strike zone. So when a ball comes in, we kind of tell the spin on it and then we know whether it's going to hit the strike zone or not, which can make opposing pitchers a little bit annoying because then they're forced to throw strikes and that's when we can hit the ball. He's that guy. He's that guy. We are those guys. I'd say Lovias is the team to beat. Lovias, Dalton's really good pitching. Dalton's really good hitting. Nick is really good pitching. Nick is really good hitting. So you don't get a break. I think we're one of the few teams that can hit and both of us can hit and both of us can pitch. I think there are five teams that can actually win this thing that have like a legitimate shot. I can say yes. They can raise the banner in the warehouse. Como and Lovias. Hopefully we get that matchup either in the semi-finals, the finals wherever it may be, because I think they'll be one hell of a game. It's tournament keys getting better and better. We got Como coming in. We know about those guys. So we got ice. The zone is getting so much better. We already know what Jack can do, baggage, looking for a bounce back from them. We should be the favorites. I guess I got to mention right away I don't have my guy Vinny Rotino here. He got caught up. I don't know how much I can talk about it. He got Dan to work with me and I'm working on some confidence with him. I think I'm going to get it. I feel really good. I do. My body is like nice and refreshed. Got a good sleep last night. Had some breakfast. Had two energy drinks so far today and coffee. So doing good, man. Feeling good. Very confident. We'll be back in the championship. No doubt. We were able to find a lot of interesting statistics like Joe's McFly never recording it out. I'm always tinkering. I need to get an out or two. I need to ask a couple of people around here. I'm always trying to do something. We got to win here. We got to win. We got to upset them. Let's go, baby. Yeah, we're trying to be doofy, daffy, spoofy and daggy. Not daggy. Doofy, spoofy and doofy. We're trying to have some fun but also when you get out on that floor, it's hard to doof. When we went to Hudson Valley, Renegades, the Yankees Hiai team, we played with K-Max so we invited them to the warehouse. Take it or win today. School more rents. Obviously. Davis, Dan Canobio. Two guys that can throw the ball. I think that's going to be really important in this tournament. This is my dad, Bob Canobio. Keep ball down to blue. Can you possibly pitch around him? Bob Canobio always has the scouting report. What's going to take to win? Brunt. Get any to get on this. This bag of just tournament. What's that? This bag of just tournament to win. Should be. We're going to compete, you know. Do you want to start or do you want me to start? I think you got to start having more fun. You're very stressed out there. You look very stressed. You knew what Jimmy was coming with. Middle, middle, man. You didn't miss him. To see him come through in that kind of moment. This might change his life.

Welcome to Dispatches from India where we bring you major news developments from the country. In this show we are going to be talking about the plan to change the very face of India's capital that is New Delhi, the prospects for India's economy in the coming months and the latest debates on patents and the vaccine. Let's first take a look at the Central Vista project in the capital New Delhi. The Central Vista project has been conceived as an attempt to change the very face of the capital through massive construction work. Now among the structures coming up are a new parliament building and new residence for the Prime Minister. On the other hand we have a few iconic buildings in the area which will be pulled down. From the time the project was announced there has been opposition due to its impact on the history of the space and ecological reasons. Critics said that the main purpose of the project was to ensure that the right wing Bharati Yajrata Party which is a ruling party in India led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi can leave its mark on the capital. They called it a waste of money when it was needed for other uses. Now this criticism peaked during the recent second wave of the pandemic when work on this project was categorized as an essential service. Opposition parties and civil society questioned this when they demanded that this work be stopped and the resources instead be diverted to fighting the pandemic. However, the government refused to heed this demand. Urban issues expert, Tikanthar Singh talks to social anthropologist Bobby Lutra Sinha on the various dimensions of the project and what it tells us about the government of the day. What I really think what has happened right now is that there is an extraordinary circumstance which has hit us and our lives and as you rightly pointed out it's the pandemic. In this pandemic while the first stage reality is in the first phase the realities for India were very different and the needs. In the second phase what we see is that once again the realities have really hit us hard on the face and most of them are indicating not only a scarcity of resources but they are indicating a lack of will on the part of our political and elected representatives to take on the leadership and divert much needed funds and resources into pandemic management. So the central vista therefore stands out because not only is it an architectural, it's not an architectural protest now that one sees against the central vista. The protest is all about a humanitarian welfare and we as Delhiites and also a network of independent minded citizens see that the government has a great opportunity to correct all that has gone wrong in the pandemic management by diverting the precious resources from central vista into humanitarian welfare and that perhaps will be a better memory for all of us not just the government but for all of us. We now move on to an issue that's on the mind of many Indians that's the economy. The second wave of the pandemic is slowly beginning to subside very slowly of course however this does not mean that there will be a magical recovery as far as the economy is concerned. In fact the next few months might see the incomes of working class Indians suffer further as corporates are likely to pass on their losses to them. Journalist and economics expert Arundhya Chakravarti looks at what's in store for the coming months in the Indian economy. We were so worried about surviving the second wave that we didn't really think about the other part which is required for living which is our livelihood our incomes. There are lockdowns in various parts of the country and this is likely to continue for two three months. The only answer India had was universal vaccination and that's not likely to happen before March April next year. So we have almost another fiscal at least one entire calendar year which is 2021 when the economy is going to face certain setbacks. Now is this going to be a technical recession and what do I mean by technical recession. You know that a technical recession is when you have two quarters of negative growth which mean that the economy contracts might not be that but still when it comes to your income my income it might be a mega recession we might see a contraction of our income.  So what happens people who are employed by these companies sooner or later they have to take pay cuts sometimes they lose their jobs we know that several companies again announced pay cuts right after this lockdown that had that has hit some of our metros right now because of that even those who don't get pay cuts are not likely to get increments and what happens when you don't get an increment when you don't get an increment but prices rise your real income falls again those who are self employed if there's a lockdown what will happen if there's a fear not just lockdown fear things which are essentially services which depend on people coming and coming to the stores coming to the restaurant coming to a dealership coming to a shop those are going to be affected and trade hotels restaurants retail wholesale these drive a huge part of our economy drive a lot of jobs in our economy all of these people will be affected it's very clear what does that mean when you don't have money in your hands what do you do you start reducing your consumption there's certain things you cannot cut down on that you have to buy and there are certain things which are discretionary which you don't really need to buy you can postpone so that kind of consumption is going to go down even further right what does that mean companies won't be able to sell and if they're not able to sell their sales will go down and when their sales go down the only way they can retain their profit is what one they cut the salaries and wages they cut their wage bill the other is that they cut down on their other costs last year there was a global slow down remember that the slow down and recession was global what that meant is that raw materials were not being bought by companies right that is the case crude oil was not being used petroleum diesel was not being consumed so all these things became cheaper whether it is steel whether it is crude oil whether it is coal whether it is cement anything that goes into making things right plastics everything the demand fell and because the demand fell what happened the total sales fell but the cost of raw materials fell as well globally cost of raw materials fell what that allowed India's corporates to do mind you is to have higher than normal profits their profits grew because the wages were stagnant right but their costs in terms of raw materials fell so even though their top line or their revenues dropped they were able to make profits because their costs reduced at a faster rate this year the rest of the world is actually back on track and they're going to make up for the lost consumption of 2020 right so we know that we saw visuals of people dancing on the streets of Spain because Spain has lifted many restrictions we know restrictions have been removed in Israel we know in parts of the US you no longer need to wear a mask we know in UK restrictions are being lifted many parts of Europe are gradually lifting restrictions so what does that mean consumption is coming back there employment is coming back they are going to consume all these raw materials and when they start consuming these raw materials what is going to happen the prices of those raw materials are going to increase so here's the problem for Indian manufacturers and any Indian business which depends on any kind of raw material whether it is electricity or petrol as small as that their costs are going to go up but they mostly sell to India right those who export will be in a good position but those who mostly sell to the domestic market they are going to face lockdowns they're going to face reduced income for people they're going to face a further contraction of demand in the economy and what does that mean they'll have to cut prices so even if their raw material costs go up they'll have to reduce prices and what does that mean this year things will go reverse their profits will shrink and finally we go on to one of the biggest debates in India right now that of patents on vaccines there have been a number of debates on who holds the intellectual property right for the co-vaccine vaccine which is manufactured by a private firm but whose development was conducted with the involvement of a government agency in recent weeks it has been revealed that the government and the private company which is called Bharat Paiyatik jointly hold the intellectual property rights for the vaccine now the question is there isn't that the government considering the fact that the government had this access and the fact that India is facing a vast issue in vaccinating its population why didn't it license other companies especially in the public sector to produce this vaccine newsflakes premier purkaya sign immunology is doctor Satyajit Rath discussed a broad trend of corporate strategies with respect to intellectual property rights across the world that it is true that it's not about one patent and in part that is because most big pharma big IT once upon a time even today big pharma tend to build not one patent for one product but a whole patent hedge of literally hundreds of patents fitting overlapping between each other covering the entire process of making the product formulation so this is this is still admittedly a patent issue but it is a point to say that we're not talking about one and it's quite possible that some of these patents in the patent hedge are the specific patents for which a waiver is being discussed but others are drawn from a far more general patent pool and have been fitted here and oh those are not about this particular vaccine so they shouldn't be part of the waiver is quite plausibly an argument that may come up sooner rather than later so that's one point which is tactical the second point is increasingly over the past centuries ever since the patenting system has been put in place where originally the whole point was to describe the invention in a way that anybody could reproduce it in fact that was the original intent of the patent itself the original intention of the entire patent process itself to shift to that from a trade secret based practice but increasingly what has happened inevitably is that while lip service is paid to full disclosure in the patent in reality there is actually not sufficient information in the patent document itself to allow replication and reproduction and as a consequence you need to know all the little tricks of the train which effectively are then trade secrets in order to make the published patent work in somebody else's hands and this then becomes an additional lever of effectively intellectual property over and above formal published filed accepted patents in order to restrict distribution and maintain control for in this case so that's the second component the third component of this restriction is the argument most notably apparently at least implicitly made by Mr. Will Gates recently that it's also a matter of the manufacturing landscape in a particular place in a country and its level of sophistication its level of sophistication both in terms of the benchmarking and the reliability of its supply chains for all the small products that go into the final product as well as the skill levels and the new take absorptive capacity of the professionals of the human resources who are going to do this and it's at these three interlocking but distinct levels that this entire argument is functioning about oh what are the many limitations and restrictions for the global south to be simply taking these miraculous vaccine technologies and implementing them in large-scale manufacturing. There are two civil rights arguments one is they're stealing our intellectual property which I think was made recently by the American pharmaceutical industry that if we wave patents on these miraculous drugs or vaccines then China and Russia might start making good medicines against other diseases too now why that should be something we should be looked upon with a great deal of suspicion is another matter but the idea is not very different from saying the third world countries like India are stealing our property so it's really going hand in hand with that and we actually saw that argument with the AIDS epidemic as well and this was essentially the reason why American pharma companies sued South African government rather shamelessly to see that cheap genetics from India does not reach the AIDS patients in South Africa so that was the big AIDS battle and it's interesting when you look at the profit margins for instance of Pfizer or Moderna and this year Moderna has said they expect to make something like 19 billion dollars they've never made profit before 19 billion dollars this year so you are really talking about astronomical level of profits from companies who have always been at a loss of course that is what venture capital does but coming back to the crux of the issue that if we want to scale up production to the level that we need that which is really 14 at least 14 billion doses this year which means at least 12 to 13 billion will get into people's bodies then we are really talking about scaling of the capacity of the world very significantly otherwise we'll not probably exceed 7-8 billion doses this year and of course India and China have a big role to play and interestingly enough South Korea as well because these have all looks like capacities for producing vaccines at a scale now if I look at the three major vaccine shall we say processes that are being followed one is the inactivated virus vaccine by form that's being used which is Sinovac Sinofarm as well as Bharata biotech the second is the adenovirus platform which is again it is AstraZeneca of course serum institute India is following that and then you have the demalia russian sputnik vaccine you have also a can Sinovac vaccine which is available and there are also the other vaccines that come from the US policy Johnson and Johnson Janssen vaccine which all of them seem to be variants of the adenovirus vector vaccine and of course the two which have become the star of the show at the moment at least in advanced countries economically advanced countries which is the Pfizer Pfizer biotech and the Moderna vaccine now can we separate them into the three groups say the inactivated virus vaccine vector virus vaccines and the MRNA vaccines and look at what are the scales involved and can we start with inactivated virus vaccines and what could the world do and are there any intellectual property rights issues involved with this so I seriously doubt that for inactivated virus vaccines any substantively restrictive patent or intellectual property rights would be available at most if you are using as Bharata biotech in its co-vaccine is using if you're using a particularly new adjuvant the adjuvant may be under patent rights but adjuvant patent rights typically are given non-exclusively because the whole point in an adjuvant is that it should be used as widely as possible so I don't think that an adjuvant patent right is ever going to be a restrictive matter also in the mara biotech got access to it fairly easily and as far as the technology itself is concerned an inactivated vaccine of a virus vaccine technology um on the one hand it's simple let's all keep in mind that every year we make and distribute worldwide influenza vaccines every year a new set of influenza vaccines all of which are essentially inactivated virus vaccines now admittedly they're still grown in chicken eggs because influenza viruses do grow in chicken eggs but whether you grow them in chicken eggs or you grow them in human cell lines in industrial scale bioreactors essentially all you're doing is growing the original virus that's just a wild organism there's nothing to patent in it that it grows in a cell line is common knowledge so there's nothing to patent in that all you're going to do is in at bioreactor scale at commercial manufacturing scale you're going to you're going to culture cell line you're going to infect it with the virus you're going to harvest the virus you're going to clean up the virus you're going to inactivate the virus um the commonest method of inactivation is a chemical inactivation such as beta proprio lactone which is what for example mara biotech uses for its co-vaccine inactivated and formulated either formulated by itself which i think is how for example synovax vaccine is formulated or add for good measure a little adjuvant to it and formulate it these are all very straightforward technologies mammalian cell culture at a manufacturing scale is a technology that any pharma manufacturer who is manufacturing so-called biologic drugs is familiar with and is competent to execute as far as growing virus is concerned clearly mara biotech has shown the capacity to do so a whole range of others have shown the capacity to do so in fact india has been meeting virus grown like that for polio vaccine for this that and either in fact icmr many many decades ago made a well an antiviral vaccine for what is now an obscure disease called casano forest disease which was exactly the same grow the virus inactivate the virus and immunize with it so that's a technology the technological capacity for which is very widely available intellectual property restrictive regimes are likely to be very lax if it all present and therefore that's a technology that's very easily implemented across the world the only catch there is that because you're growing growing infectious virus in large amounts industrial amounts and this is an infectious virus that causes disease because of that as you scale up the amount of infectious virus that you're carrying in any one place becomes larger and larger and therefore your biosafety containment security provisions and technologies become more and more demanding more and more robust and so on and so forth and the simplest way to think about that is but if many people were growing it in small scale many small manufacturers were growing it in small scale it would be feasible absolutely yes it would be feasible there's a point I would like to make about this before we move on to the admiperesis and that is given these circumstances given the fact that the government of India is along with the government of South Africa one of the major players in this demand for intellectual property waiver for COVID-19 vaccines I find it incomprehensible that the government of India licensed an Indian council of medical research generated inactivated virus technology vaccine to one single private sector company that remains true even now and it might be worthwhile asking the government why is it has it done this you know that's something which is very interesting because we have at least 20 officially registered vaccine manufacturers in the country all of whom have the ability to do what exactly you talked about in fact that's what routinely they do this includes seven public sector undertakings which have actually most of them seem to have stopped making anything and out of that one of that was of course the famous Havkin Institute's derivative which is the vaccine biopharmaceutical company which is again Maharashtra public sector undertaking as of now which has restarted doing this COVID vaccine hopefully with ICMR technology and it is it still is one of the largest suppliers of the oral polio vaccine in India in fact I think it has a 9% global share of vaccines by volume so we have apparently we have a large number of companies in India who can do it China is actually the Sinovac vaccine and the Sinofarm vaccine have been farmed out to a number of producers and they seem to be scaling up exactly the way you suggested that it has been developed in the public sector in the universities and in the public sector and this has been the technology has been farmed out to a number of vaccine manufacturers and they are scaling up and that's why China has been able to scale up production quite rapidly not having the kind of serum institute facility it is just there by adopting the strategy Satyajit was talking about so this is for our viewers that this is a technology which is which is being used unfortunately India decided to go only with Bharat Biotech and this as he says is not explicable not only from Indian come point of view because you could have really ramped up manufacture much faster but also that others could produce instead of becoming a bottleneck that's all we have time for today we'll be back next week with more news from India until then keep watching People's Dispatch for more videos on people's struggles please subscribe to our youtube channel


Alright, so next we'll write down the torque equation, should we derive it or directly we'll write it? Derivation. Derivation we can take later, see what will happen is that you'll get mathematically so much bombarded with all the equations and everything that you'll not be able to enjoy the numerical stuff, okay. First let us do everything, you'll feel good about yourself and then I'll tell you how that torque equation comes. Did it make sense? So torque is equal to I times alpha. Just like force is equal to mass times acceleration, torque is equal to I times angular acceleration. Moment of inertia torque and alpha is angular acceleration, okay. Can I use this equation about any axis at about any point? No, I cannot use it at any axis. There is a restriction, the restriction is we write down this can be used only about fixed axis or any axis that passes through center of mass. This cannot be used about any other axis. If the object is rotating, if the object is not rotating it is stationary then every point is a fixed axis in a way. I have to find torque about the fixed axis and I have to find moment of inertia about the fixed axis. I'll get alpha about the fixed axis, isn't it? Alpha of the rigid body is fixed, okay. Alpha of every point is fixed about every other point, every any other fixed point it is, alpha only, right. Torque and I can change but the ratio between torque and I will remain same only. What else? There is no other theory, okay. Torque is equal to I alpha, okay. And then if suppose there is an external force applied on a rigid body, of course there will be external force because there is a torque, right. Most of it will be an external force. So net external force will be mass into acceleration along x axis. This acceleration is whose acceleration? Center of mass at acceleration. So now you have alpha as well as A, ACM. And using the kinematics you can find out the total acceleration now. First you observe with respect to center of mass then you add what center of mass is doing, okay. Similarly Fy will be equal to m into Ay, Fz is equal to m into Az, okay. Do not hesitate to use all these equations you already have learned. Newton's second law is center of mass is acceleration. That you should apply without hesitating. Torque equation also which will give you alpha. And suppose you have a relation between alpha and A. If you know that it is rolling without slipping, alpha is equal to A by R or A is equal to alpha, then you can connect the equation with that equation because alpha is equal to A by R. So there is a connection between these two equations. Are you getting it? But if suppose there is no relation between alpha and A, there is no connection. Is it clear? Okay. So let us take couple of simple questions then you will understand how to come up with this. There is a rod fixed axis. Okay. Let us say it rotates by an angle of theta. We need to find out the angular acceleration at this moment. So 3G cos theta by R. So 3G cos theta by R. 3G cos theta by R. Yeah, that is right. So 3G cos theta by R to R. Yeah. See MG will act from the center. MG forces on the right. Okay. Let us take forces like this. There will be one force this way and other force like that. Let us say. This you can say NY and this you can say NX. I mean I do not know which direction the reaction from the pin is exerting. So I will just say that it will be in a single plane only. Otherwise the rod will come out. It will remain in a single plane. The reaction force on the pin will be on that plane only. So assume it has two components. One in X and one in Y. Are you getting it? Right. So now I have to find out the angular acceleration. Is there a fixed axis? First step is to find out if there is a fixed axis. Have fixed axis? All right. This is here. This is MG. This is a fixed axis or not? This comfort of MG is what? Why I am finding that comfort? Because that is perpendicular to the distance. How much is that? MG cos theta. MG cos theta? Yeah. So this is MG cos theta. This is 911 theta you guys are saying. So this is MG sin theta. So torque because of MG is what? Is there any other force which can give torque about the fixed axis? No. Only MG can give. So torque because of MG is MG cos theta into L by 2. This is equal to moment of inertia about fixed axis into alpha. Which is what? M L square by 3 into alpha. So how many alpha? 3G cos theta. 3G cos theta. 3G by 2L cos theta. Okay. Now you have to find out what will be its angular velocity when it has reached a vertical position like that. You know. Angular velocity. Omega is what? Omega when the rod has become vertical. How are you? Sir. 3G cos theta. 3G cos theta by 2L cos theta. Okay. From where you are getting theta? I am releasing from here. Theta is 0. And here I am finding the angular velocity. Theta is 90 from 0. Theta is 90. What is omega? Sir. What is theta? 3G by 2L. Phi by 2L. Phi by 2L. Theta is pi by 2. So theta, pi by 2. Who will put this expression? Sir. What is the answer? Under root 3G cos theta by 2L. I like that. Under root 3G pi by 2L. Basically it is root pi. Under root pi alpha. So what? Under root. Wait sir. From this position till vertically. It is released from here. This rod is like this. It has angular velocity. Oh. The rod is like this. Look at the game. Tell me what it is. It is not explaining anything. Tell me how it is. This sector has angular velocity. Sir. Because you do that. So I thought you meant from that angle. Oh. That is correct. Oh. Adu. Okay. My mistake. This is root of 3G by 2L. Sounds correct. What do you say? Not sure. 3G by 2L. How did you get it? I took alpha as omega into d omega by 2L. Yeah. Just wake up man. Here you need to apply kinematics. This is alpha. Alpha is what? Omega plus theta d theta into d. Omega goes from 0 to omega. Theta goes from 0 to pi by 2. Okay. Like this you get the answer. Sir. Why can't we conserve energy? Because I haven't talked yet. No. So like can I just say that it starts off with potential energy. No. Not now. I don't want you to use kinematics right now. All right. I'll teach then you can use. Sir. But then the answer with that is? No. You have done it wrong. I'll check that during the breaks. Okay. Are you reading it? Sir. But the sign is minus that. What minus? 0 minus. Yeah. Pi by 2 minus positive. Yeah. Sir it's minus pi by 2 sir. It's going this way. Sir theta which is 0 to 90. Sir it's minus pi by 2 minus positive. Sir it's minus pi by 2. Sir this is theta. All the sign. The integral quantity is what? Sign. Sign is that. The integral quantity is what? Sign. Is that what I was talking about? Sign theta. It is not minus sign theta. Yeah. Okay. The sign is minus cos, it is reverse, any other term. Sir, I'm not, but I'm just, What happened? Fall, fall. Sir, I thought that if the central mass moves from that top position to that position over there. So, no sir, the bottom, so the change in height of central mass is L by 2. No, L by 2. Sir, we will do half i omega square. i is mL square by 3. Oh, half i omega square. No, why half mv square? It is rotating, it's not rotating. Sir, you can see that the loss of the central mass is some v. Then you can write half icm omega square plus half mvcm square. And vcm is omega into L by 2. That's what I'm saying. Wait for me to teach. Otherwise you'll not learn what I'm going to teach and you'll not learn what I'm teaching right now. Both you'll not learn. Oh, I forgot. Then you have to find out the reaction from the pin. Find out where it was. This is Parang. Let's say this is r y and this is r x. Sir, you'll use, like, you'll have a pole. When it's rotating, one force will act inward and outward and they should be equal. Now check. Sir, you can take centripetal acceleration. Centripetal acceleration will be around the rod. So r x will be equal to mv square by L by 2. The radius with which the center of mass is moving. Are you getting it? Is equal to mass into vcm square divided by L by 2. So center of mass alpha into L by 2. L by 2 taken in opposite direction. So let's keep it this way. This is r y. So r y is equal to m into x is now center of mass, which is alpha into L by 2. Finding alpha is 3g by 2 will cos theta. So substitute here, you'll get r y. For r y, you need vcm and vcm is... So this will come out from here while integrating 0 to theta. Total reaction will be root over this square plus that square. So we'll have some centripetal... Got it? Yes sir. Get out. You don't know why you can't... What? ...conserve energy. No, you can conserve energy. That is what I said. I am saying you are using it in the wrong way. And I can't teach everybody spending... Everybody's 15 minutes how to conserve energy and then tell you... Are you getting it? You are using the wrong formula for kinetic energy.  Or you write half i about fixed axis into omega square. You are using neither. You are saying just kinetic energy is half mvcm square, which is not correct. So that's not the correct energy. That's not the correct kinetic energy. When you write half mvcm square, you are assuming that entire mass is... Translating without rotating with vcm.


Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebrakes.com, coming at you with 2021 Panini Absolute Baseball. That's a quick little two box break and it's a filler break. It's going to help fill up that three case baseball mixer that we have here. We're going to do the break first. At the end, we're going to randomize, re-randomize everybody's names and the top five names will get into that three case baseball mixer. Really fun stuff. Thanks everyone for making this happen. Big thanks here. All the 30 baseball teams are in, so let's do the break first. Let's roll it. Let's randomize each list three and a six, nine times. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and ninth and final time. Nine times for the teams, one, two, three, four, six, seven, eight, and ninth and final time. And a different dice roll for the giveaway part as always. Here's the first half of the list here. There's the second half of the list right there. Let's just print it out, rip it up. There's the final print out. There it is, 2021 Absolute Baseball, two boxes, 99, Miguel Cabrera, and Chris Bryant is Alex Reyes, dual relic for the Cardinals, Daniel Katz and the Cards. And behind Chris Bryant is, is it Daniel Johnson, 12 out of 35, Quad Relic and Autograph, Cleveland, this is for you, Sean Oh. Here's the Chris Bryant to 149 for the Cubs. There's Randy R. Zoranian to 25, Kyle Tucker to 149, Astros, Ray Zoranian for Sean, and your two hits behind Cal Ripken, Cedric Mullins, Tools of the Trade, six relic card, Jonathan with the O's, behind Cal Ripken Jr. is Tools of the Trade, dual relic and Autograph, four out of 25, Casey Meyes, pretty solid starter for the Tigers. Former number one overall pick, just this rookie season, ace type ceiling I want to say. All right, second box, I got Justin Verlander to 149 for the Astros, all the Cards here too, this is Christian Yelich to 99, George Springer, Blue Jay's addition to 199, and the hits, you got Edwin Rios, Tools of the Trade, dual relic for the Dodgers, Robert Flores. I like Edwin Rios' upside once he recovers from shoulder surgery, if he gets some semi-regular playing time, there's a lot of power in that bet. Behind Jose Ramirez is dual relic and Autograph, Spencer Howard, 49 out of 49, Sean O with the Phillies, and behind Mike Trout is Carlos Correa, Tools of the Trade triple relic for the Stros, Sean, and the last one here is Brent Rooker, dual relic and Autograph for the Twinkies, Minnesota Twins, Daniel Katz. And that's that, ladies and gentlemen. Now let's see who's going to win those spots. Let's go back to the list, let's grab everyone's names, there's some new dice, there's a new list here, and let's randomize that list how many times, four and a one, five times, it's going to be top five after five, we've got a different break coming up next two. Five after five, good luck, one, two, three, four, and five. Now from six on down, sad times, but I appreciate everybody taking the risk on this. Happy times though for the top five, you were in that three case mixer, Brian Crouch, Robert, Sean, Josh, and Daniel. Congrats to the five of you there, thanks everybody, I'm Joe, I'll see you next time for the next one, bye bye.


Sometimes, you have a conflict with someone. Where he shoots it, it's on intercepting! Tipperary passion. But this, this is a little bit different. It comes right from the pit of your stomach. There's no one reason for it. It's always there, and it never goes away. You don't like them.  Brings out the best of you. Or the worst of you. It's hate week. Like this kind of party. Bring on the Saints. Get the touchdown! Let's get it on!


I have three sons, and my second son had a very severe allergic reaction when he was just six months old.  He was becoming allergic as well for almost all allergens. So for peanuts, cashew, hazelnut, walnut. We started to actually give those allergens because you need to give a certain dosage and you need to increase that, and then you need to maintain that for a period of time. But yeah, there is no ready easy, ready to use product that you can actually use. Well, I think Lauri personal struggle also affected me because I was one of her friends. I think the main goal is actually to see Lauri struggle and see that other parents also go through this struggle. And we thought, OK, if it's not easy, then we should help other parents. Because this is something which can be prevented in 80% of the times. So why wouldn't we go for it and at least try to change the world a bit? Filimini is an impact company. Our goal is really to prevent food allergies. And we offer easy, healthy and safe way for parents to do that. They did great international studies which showed that if you give allergens early and often, you are able to prevent 80% of the food allergies. You need to give a certain dosage, meaning that you have to either do it in the hospital, so they measure it for you, or you have to do it yourself at home.  And then it's very difficult because how do you know the dosage is right? How do you know the product is right? It is really very troubling for a young parent if you already have to do so many other things to also do this and add this to your daily routine. Josin and I, we know each other for more than 20 years. It was nice that we could start this journey together. I saw big corporates avoiding those allergens in their baby foods because it is something which can also be a risk if you don't give the doses in the right way. The journey began sitting together and thinking about okay, we need to first of all prevent this from happening to other parents and also make it very easy and healthy. If your baby has eczema or there is a food allergy within your baby or in the family, we advise you to start with my first peanut in six steps and you start with step number one which has a blue capsule.  Mom and dad's hospitals and even some dieticians and pharmacists are selling our products to make sure that it is at the place where it should be at the time that parents should start giving those allergens. We have pediatricians, dieticians, food technologies, all these people in our extended team which help us asking all the questions we have in developing our products. My name is Harry Wiggers. I work for Wageningen University of Research and in particular for the food and bio-based research department. Allergies are more prevalent amongst children. There's a reason for that and an important reason is that the immune system of newborns is still what we call naive. It still has to learn a lot of lessons in real life and for a long time it was thought that if people had an increased chance to develop allergic reactions, it would be wise to keep them away from peanuts or milk or those notorious allergens that are responsible for many allergic reactions in children. That was a standard of care for a long time. About a decade ago a study was done in the United Kingdom which completely turned things upside down. So exposing children at very young age to a suspect thing, peanut in this case, led to a six times lower chance of developing allergic reaction to peanut. We collaborated with Vinny Mini by some kind of on-demand interactions that we have with them. For instance, we describe from a chemical perspective what the characteristics of their products are. We analyze their products, we describe what happens if it's being heated or processed. We would like to do as much as possible business with serious companies who know what they were doing and try to embed their activities in real science. The people that have an energy themselves, they understand it. But if you never experienced it, you think now it's not me, my kid will not have it. I also never thought my kid would have a food allergy. So that is a challenge in a way to make sure that all parents are doing this and really making sure they do it in the right way. Thanks to giving him frequent, measured way, those allergens, my son is free of allergies. We started with a peanut product to prevent a peanut allergy but we also want to extend with other allergens like nuts to prevent a nut allergy. And we're taking it step by step, but in the end it should be a world without food allergies.
