So we have Abner from Juniper Networks and Stu Miniman from the Wikibon Project. Senior Analyst, welcome to theCUBE. Thank you. So Abner, we were just talking about the Apple news and obviously Apple's epitome of the user experience out there at mobile and mobile is, you know, everyone expects mobile. User experience has changed and the demand is unprecedented in terms of this disruption. They want everything at the edge. They want it fast. They want it secure.  You have the plumbing, running the bits and the packets, work with the carriers, running the data across the network. What's changing? You guys have a philosophy that's quite different than Cisco. Cisco's the fully integrated stack, pushing some video as well so they're pushing innovation measures but you guys have a new architecture. So compare what you guys are doing with Cisco and Stu, let's riff on the whole, what is the preferred network architecture for the user experiences? Sure. And I think what we really virtualization changes networking. All right, two big questions, actually fairly closely related. So, classically networking was a black box that I bought into and a particular vendor would develop the silicon, all the software for it and I bought a box and so today you hear network people talk about, oh, I've got a Juniper over there, I've got a Cisco over there and they refer to their boxes as the way that they build networks. What's happened is that in the networking world, Juniper in particular has looked at, well, what's the architecture that the rest of the IT industry has adopted and that's an architecture that's a layer cake model where the applications are separate from the operating system which is separate from the silicon and that allows you to innovate very quickly and do some interesting things like start to solve management problems because no longer do you want to manage just one box, you want to manage all the boxes in concert with each other and you don't want to think of them as boxes anymore, you want to think of them as a network which brings us to virtualization. So, one of the things that's happened with virtualization is the, you have a set of virtual connections that applications connect to and then you have an underlying infrastructure that's physical and if your underlying infrastructure is spaghetti, you can't connect those things together, you're just sort of layering some sauce on that and it might work for a little while but it doesn't necessarily get you the ability to move things around in a very fluid fashion and so one of the things that we look at is, well one, how do you innovate on the network in a way that's identical to the classic IT innovation model which is open it up, give you an open interface for people to develop new applications, have a common interface across multiple components of the network. So Juniper runs Junos which is our operating system across switching, routing and security and that allows us to do some really cool things with partners and help drive down the cost of building the reliable network that companies have always wanted but has been very difficult to achieve with legacy architectures. Stu, you're an expert in this area, obviously you're an analyst, you're covering this new architecture models that are emerging from the vendors and the company's innovating out there. What's your angle on, and you work at EMC so you know the storage business up and down but you also know networking, what's your angle on what's happening from your research and what you're seeing out in the marketplace, talk about what that is. Okay John, so before it used to be network was just kind of the pipes that got me things and the separation, there wasn't a real strong connection between my application and what I needed to do it was just the network guy was over there, go provision me some bandwidth, maybe if you got to go play with quality of service that was usually a dirty word to the networking guys and today it's not set it up once and forget about it and it grows and expands and moves incrementally but now we have a completely different scenario where what you put today is going to move all the time it's changing all over the place and the biggest challenge here is really from a management perspective security is also a real big issue but what I've seen Juniper doing is the integration that they've done with VMware and I think they're talking about that here at the conference is have some great solutions pulling together the virtual infrastructure and management. So the question that I have for Avner maybe Stu as well is that we heard about server consolidation around with Fusion IO and all the stuff where they're consolidating but yet increasing performance so the question is, is it the same on the network side where there's some consolidation or reconfiguration and higher performance is that the same kind of direction do you see that going that way or what's going on at the lower levels there? Yeah, you don't have consolidation in the same way that we consolidated servers or for the same reason we had server we consolidated servers, we consolidated servers because there was an efficiency problem we just wasn't going to utilize the consolidation that's occurring on the network is we have a new design problem so when we moved from client server architectures the design problem was how do I get the traffic from the server out into the rest of the world now it's how do I pull it into the data center bouncing around a whole bunch of times and then spit it back out? So Avner actually if you don't mind me jumping in here so actually I think there first of all there is an efficiency issue with networking today Juniper and a lot of your competitors out there are solving that because rather than having blocking architectures, over provisioning we're now building much bigger scale out architectures that are going to be able to support cloud type applications and we're using every port and we're going to much higher speeds we've got 10 gig now, 40 gig and 100 gig just been approved and they're coming soon so the price report is such that it needs to be used and we can't just waste resources the way waste maybe is the wrong word but we have to more efficiently use everything that we have The efficiency problem is one of basically asking a very simple question how do you get traffic from one side of a data center to the other and whether that traffic is application traffic because our application architectures have changed whether it's a VM that's moving across the data center because our compute architectures have changed or whether it's moving storage across the data center because our storage architectures are changing that requires a fundamentally different architecture that where you need to be as efficient as possible in a number of different places it's not just moving the packets it's management and just how do you operate the network and automate all of those different moving parts Right and I think really networking bears the brunt of a lot of the changes that are going on in virtualization before you would have a steady growth and a really predictable pattern of traffic and now we're moving things all over spikes and there's not the downtime to reconfigure so Well I'd like to chip into the virtualization but let's hold that for a second because I think having to raise up a good point change is happening the fact that the constant thing that we're seeing is change Randy Bias on earlier an entrepreneur who's building clouds from scratch you know it's this disruptive change we haven't seen in 30 years it's going to continue to disrupt for 20 more years as his quote which is great the question is is that we have a philosophy difference I mean Juniper particularly how about Junos it's kind of an open so here in the VMware world you got open models where there's innovation extraction from ecosystems Todd Nielsen saying for every dollar it's $15 of ecosystem money which basically means people make money and go public and things happen and you got guys like Oracle right so we heard that at SAP Oracle, SAP open, VMware, closed people want to know really Juniper and Cisco seems to be the same argument like Cisco, Oracle, Juniper talk about you guys how you differentiate and how you position via Cisco so can I just to add to that point I guess so VMware laid out a new vision today for where they're going with networking so VMware they're calling it their V chassis vision so this is taking the virtual switch they have the virtual distributed switch and now they really have a virtual director so Avner and I were talking earlier because I've talked to a lot of the networking players out there and there's that let's say some friction between VMware's vision and where some of the infrastructure players are going so I'm curious to get your take on this yeah well we don't have a big legacy infrastructure in the data center to protect so the faster disruption occurs that's okay with us and the piece that all this comes down to is what are the components that an IT manager can move around so today a VM is sort of the as somebody said the atomic unit of cloud computing and if I've standardized my VMs I can move them within my own infrastructure and out into other infrastructures I think there's an open question in terms of how does that do those atomic units and what are the different slices that managers can move around to optimize their own infrastructures burst into clouds for that capability and the economics around that and we look at how do you interface with those sorts of systems like the VMware beach assi and that's where you need a web services interface that crosses all of the components of the network and we do that with a platform called Juno Space great I mean let's talk about the virtualization we got two minutes left so what if you want to address the Oracle kind of open close issue that you can do that real quick yeah I mean you know and the open close look everybody's trying to open all sorts of interfaces and so the issue isn't how many interfaces do you have open and are your interfaces more open than the other guys the issue is can developers develop on your platform in a way that at some point you don't pull the sand out from underneath them and they can't develop on sand they've got to develop on concrete on the virtualization piece what are you seeing in terms of virtualization because virtual machines can be used for configurations help balance networks Doug Gorley from Arista Networks earlier mentioned you know load balancing it's going to be a kind of a big area we heard Fusion IO with the storage sites what's going on in the networking what does virtualization enable right so I mean virtualization if you look we had a bunch of years that virtualization was a pure economics play where it was doing consolidation now we have many operational pieces of virtualization that are making changes but you know on the economic conditions hopefully we're doing a little bit better globally and therefore that it's giving us some opportunities for hopefully take advantage of some more innovations out there in the marketplace I would say you know virtualization when you start moving VMs around it loads the network which is great it creates a series of security problems and we have some nice solutions with a couple of partners we also think that you know you need to get the network out of the way to a certain degree because the network's not the important part as you know pays my paycheck but the network is secondary to the application and when you look at how do you spin applications up very very quickly the infrastructure can't be in the way of that and that's where people are trying to make sure that it's not you know one way that people are getting in the way of each other today with virtualization is what does the network guy manage on the physical network and what does the server guy manage on the virtual network and is it a interface problem or is it an orchestration problem we believe it's an orchestration problem but we have one minute left or just under one minute so real quick just predictions I mean in the networking business what's going to change what's going to be the disruptive neighbor just real quick kind of summarize that real fast it's what is the software architecture and how does that software architecture drive costs down for customers in both CapEx and OpEx Stu, what's your vision next couple years with networking? So you know it's a great time to be in the networking space because while we've had a long time that nothing has changed pretty much everything's changing now so you know a switch isn't going to look like a switch anymore the physical and virtual barriers are all coming down and you know you talk about the Apple and everything you know consumerization of IT you know that's going to hit the network side too and we're here with SiliconANGLE's continuous coverage of VMworld Live 2010 we're hearing about the networking side how all this disruption is going to be changing even how networks are built and scaled and managed and to support these consumer apps whether IT or mobile consumer so that's great, thanks guys very much we'll be right back we'll take a short break


Welcome to the 21st. And today we have a speaker who's written over 50 books. He has a PhD. And what we are going to be talking about is how to use our bodies as the maximum expression that we were really born to have. Let's bring on stage Ellington Dardan. Right. Good job. Good job, man. Good job. Now, anybody here besides Bill DeSimon and it's read my book, two or three. So to the others, you're going to hear some things that are different, some concepts, some ideas that are quite different. And the title of my talk is Body Fat Breakthrough. And it's centered on this book of mine that came out in April. The Body Fat Breakthrough. Now look at this subtitle. Tap the muscle building power of negative training and lose up to 30 pounds in 30 days. I've gotten a lot of wows off of that subtitle. The main title is pretty direct and there's other titles similar to that. But losing 30 pounds in 30 days, is that possible? That's what we're going to talk about. So let's take that subtitle and break it down. Tap the muscle building power of negative training. What about negative training? What does that mean? In 1972, I didn't know what negative training was either. Arthur Jones, a man that I spent 40 years with, wrote an article for Iron Man Magazine that was published late in the year of 1972. And the title of the article was Accentuate the Negative. And in the first paragraph, Arthur said, bodybuilders ought to start thinking of not how much they can lift, but how much they can lower. Now that was radically different. No one had ever said anything like that before. Now if you go back and you look at negative exercise, you won't find negative at first. There was a guy from Denmark, Asmusin, that introduced eccentric training in 1953. And he called it EXCENTRIC, with EX meaning away from and CENTRIC meaning center. So it was exercise away from the center, lowering exercise away from the center. Well, Arthur Jones wasn't much aware of that. He was aware that the exercise physiology community wanted to separate concentric lifting with eccentric lowering. And he said, man, that's concentric and eccentric are too close. You just can't figure out which is what. So he started using up, down, lift, lower, shorten, lengthen, contract, uncontract. He was the first person I read that used contract and uncontract. When you really can't uncontract a muscle, but it gets across what we're talking about. When you contract these muscle fibers, shorten, move closer together. And when you uncontract, they move apart. But after a year or so of writing material on this, Arthur started using positive and negative. He said, now, body builders can understand that. Positive means up, negative means down. Two different words that mean different things. So we thank Arthur Jones for coming up with negative and positive. You know, if you look at today in bodybuilding circles, negative training is understood by all bodybuilders. But we can thank Arthur Jones for that. But what about this subtitle here? Lose up to 30 pounds in 30 days. I've been accused on the internet and other places. Man, that's too bold of a promise. Most people can't do that. Well, that's true. Most people can't, but some people can. That's why I use up, lose up to 30 pounds in 30 days. So I'm gonna discuss this pretty thoroughly by looking at my research, the background that I have in it, examining before and after pictures, describing my breakthrough project, and unraveling some significant details. Now, for 40 years, I've written books, based on research that I personally done, most of which is in Gainesville, Florida at Joe Cerulli's Gainesville Health and Fitness Center. So this shows some of the books that I've worked with with Joe Cerulli. I think there's 14 of them there. If you've been around long enough, you've seen some of these. And 18 of them were not done at Joe Cerulli's club. So that's an example of some of my books.  At Gainesville Health and Fitness, the 14 books I've written there, I've got before and after measurements and photographs of 519 women, 318 men. That's 837 people from 1985 to 2004. Plus this new book I'm working on, I've got another 145 plus 302. And I'm working on a group of women right now that's 63 in that. So that 30 year total is 1,347. I've got before and after pictures and measurements of that many people, all from Gainesville, Florida. And I've taken the measurements and I've taken skin focaliper readings on all of those people and used the Jackson Pollock formula. So I've got something to compare everything to. So I'm gonna show you some before and after pictures in four different groups. These are the most impressive from my book, The Body Fat Breakthrough. This guy's from Cuba, but he's lived in Gainesville for a number of years and he did the best. He lost 121 pounds of fat and gained 20.5 pounds of muscle in 30 weeks. These are the most dramatic before and after pictures that I've ever taken in 40 years of taking them. Bob Smith, this guy's six foot seven and weighed 302 pounds. He lost 94 pounds of fat, gained 24 pounds of muscle in 18 weeks. This woman did the best among the females. She lost 52 pounds of fat, gained 8.6 pounds of muscle in 24 weeks. This woman is 61. She lost 28 pounds of fat, gained 7.7 pounds of muscle in 18 weeks. Now very quickly I wanna go over some relevant dates that may not make sense to you, but they make sense to me. So hear me out for a minute. November the 13th, 2008. I went to Stockholm, Sweden to meet a friend of mine that I had met 25 years earlier, Matt Thulin. Now remember, the guy that started negative training, eccentric exercise, Asmulan, he was from Scandinavia. So when I was in Stockholm, one of Matt's very good friends was a guy named Bjorn Alber, who is an MD, who was an Olympic athlete. And Bjorn took me around Stockholm to the universities. There's 11 major universities in Stockholm, Sweden. And most of them deal with heavy exercise physiology concepts. One thing they are able to do in Stockholm, which is difficult to do anywhere in the United States is muscle biopsies. I think they've just about made it impossible to do on a large scale in the United States. Well, you can still do them in Stockholm, Sweden. So if you wanna find out what's going on inside the muscle, you gotta go to Europe, you gotta go to Scandinavia to really get to the depth. But when I went through the X-Force equipment, now X-Force, maybe some of you understand it, have seen it. It's like a nautilus machine, but it has a tilting weight stack. The weight stack tilts on the positive and uprights on the negative. So you get 40% more resistance on the lowering. Now, I'd heard about this equipment, but I'd never tried it. So in 2008, I tried it. The first exercise, the fourth rep, man, I could just feel it was a decline press. I could feel my pectoralis major muscles. I mean, you could just feel the acting and the mice and kick in. Now, I know you can't really do that, but I've had enough experience that I felt something different. So this rejuvenated my interest in negative exercise. And I told Matt, we gotta get the equipment to Gainesville, Florida. So it took more than three years to do that, but we finally got 14 X-Force machines in the Gainesville on January the 19th. Now, Roger Swab in Philadelphia also got 14 machines at the same time. So Roger's a good friend of mine and I got him involved in X-Force. So the body fat breakthrough book that I talked about, we started research on it in February, February 6th, 2012. April the 2nd, 2012. This was 50 days after I started that research. I had four participants that had lost 50 pounds of fat. 50 pounds of fat in 50 days. I had seven that had lost 30 pounds in 30 days. Now, if I go back to the research I did previously, the biggest project was the Nautilus Diet in 1987. The guy that lost the most on the Nautilus Diet was Dennis Bell. He lost 52 pounds in 10 weeks. Let's compare it to the guy that lost the most on the body fat breakthrough. It was Bob Smith, that six foot seven guy. He lost 74 pounds in 10 weeks. That was 42% better in half the workouts. So something going on here. Well, another several months went by. By this time, I had 20 men and 24 women who had achieved outstanding results. 12 weeks of this ex-force negative accentuated training had produced an average muscle gain of 13.38 pounds per man and 7.21 pounds per woman. Now those were 50% better than I had previously gotten in my best groups. So I put together a book proposal. I had a number of before and after pictures in it and I sent it to an editor that I had a contact with in Rodell, who they have a New York office and they have a Mayas Pennsylvania office. Their biggest office is in a Mayas. They were very interested so I signed a contract shortly after that and began working on the book. Now the problem I had, ex-force is great and it's in about 25 places in Europe but it's not in but two places in the United States. So I had to come up with an idea centered around negative accentuated exercise that was similar to the results I was getting with ex-force. So analyzing the machine, the results, I had a head start on everything. So there's many ways that you can accentuate the lowering. You can just go slower on the lowering phase. That's what a lot of people do. Or you can have people help you lift as you lower the weight. Or you can have people push down on a weight stack or push down on a barbell or dumbbell. There's any number of ways. Now, what I didn't know way back in 1972 when Arthur Jones came out with this article and Iron Man accentuate the negatives, I didn't know the importance of not having a lag time between repetitions. Have most of you in the room done what's called negative only chin ups where you have a step situation or a chair.   There's several exercises that you can do that way. You can tie a weight belt around you and get up to where you can handle 100 pounds. It's a very powerful way to work your lats in your arms and your forearm muscles. But unknowingly, we did these for years and you get good results for a while. But what happens after about three or four reps with 100 pounds on you, it takes you longer to get to the top, climb to the top. Takes anywhere from two to five seconds. During that lag time, your recovery kicks in. So it's like doing a single set of one repetition maximums four or five times back to back with a rest period of two to five seconds. It's not a very good way to train. So what I was trying to figure out was the X-Force equipment because I watched people train correctly and I watched people train incorrectly on an X-Force machine. Most people, when it gets tough, they'll do three or four repetitions slowly and smoothly. Pushing out in three seconds, coming back in five seconds. Out in three, back in five with 40% more resistance on the lowering. But after three or four reps, they rest in the bottom position, push it out hard and then come back. They rest, a lag time recovery. So if you compare doing eight repetitions that way with eight repetitions with no lag time, huge difference, huge difference. You don't want the lag time. So I figured that out and I tried to apply that to a barbell and standard conventional exercise. And I finally figured out how to do it. In the book I call it 30, 30, 30. That's a negative rep of 30 seconds slow, followed by a positive rep of 30 seconds, followed by a negative rep of 30 seconds. So you got twice as much negative as positive. And you always start in the contracted position so you either need to cheat it to the top or get a buddy to help you get it to the top. Actually, we worked between 20 and 30 seconds. It's not always 30 seconds on the half repetition, 20 and 30 seconds. So I tested this technique on multiple people. Finally said, I'm gonna test it with some people in Gainesville and I did during the fall of 2012. So the key thing is right here at the bottom, one and a half reps in 60 to 90 seconds. Twice as much negative muscle action as positive muscle action. So I had four men and four women that did this and they had 80% of the results as the ex-force group. Here's three of them. This young lady, she's 23. She gained 22.8 pounds of, or she lost 22.8 pounds of fat, gained 6.8 pounds of muscle in 12 weeks. This fellow lost 58 pounds of fat, gained 18 pounds of muscle in 18 weeks. This woman who is a professor at the University of Florida, she lost 32 pounds of fat and gained 7.7 pounds of muscle in 18 weeks. So you can see that you're getting very close to the results as you're getting with ex-force equipment. So I had something I could work with, I had something I could write in my new book and I did. Meantime, I took my wife, took her before and after pictures against our garage in Windermere, Florida, which is about 75 miles from here. She had been depressed in the first picture. She had had a traumatic experience where she almost died, swimming. She almost drowned. And come to find out, she had a defective mitral valve in her heart. And two weeks later, she had to undergo open heart surgery and almost died there twice. So that's trauma. So after that, in her recovery period, she was depressed, she was on certain anxiety drugs. And if they did anything, they reinforced her appetite, made her eat more. So she put on 30 some odd pounds. So in October of last year, she told me, she said, Ellington, we got to do something. So I had a new idea for her. I put it in effect and it worked beautifully. So I alternated 30, 30, 30 with a new form of 30, 30, 30, which is half the amount of time. I call it 15, 15, 15. So you take 70% of what you normally do with 15, 15, 15 for 10 repetitions. You get to the top position, you do 15 seconds down, 15 seconds up, 15 seconds down. It's the last 15 seconds down, then you do eight repetitions. Going two seconds up, three seconds down. So that's 15, 15, 15 plus eight to 12. When you can do 12 that way, you add 5% more resistance. So I've got a group of women, 63 women in Gainesville that are doing that very thing. On a program I call Tighten Your Tummy in two weeks. This is one of the women that did best that finished a six week program. She lost 20.13 pounds of fat, gained 3.13 pounds of muscle and 11 inches off her waist. Now what I do with the waistline measurement, I take three measurements, two inches above the navel, right at the navel and two inches below. So the total of all three of those was 11 inches. And that's going to be reported in a book that comes out next August. Now here are some things that are new. So you won't read this anywhere else. So pay attention. We're going to talk about a deeper in road, key hormones behind that, inner leucans and mycans, Dr. Alfred Goldberg, an unknown hormone, which I've named, and an inside the body look at this. Why does negative training work better than normal training or better than positive training? Or better than any type of muscle building training you can think of? I think it has to do with what's called a deeper in road. Now when you normally perform a set of curls, let's say, Arthur Jones used to diagram this. He'd say, okay, let's assume you can curl a hundred pounds one time. Don't take a hundred pounds and curl it one time and repeat it, that's not a very good way to train. Take 80% of that, 80 pounds, and do it eight to 12 reps. So normally when you do that, you make a 2% in road into your starting level of strength. So every rep that you do, let's say you do 10 reps, you reduce your starting level of strength. So finally you do 10 reps and you're 80 pounds strong and you've got 80 pounds on the barbell. You can't make it without cheating. So you have made a 20% in road into your starting level of strength. Now what would happen if you had 40% more resistance on the negative? If you could lift 80 and then had 40% more lower, well you'd make a much deeper in road, probably a 3%. But the difference between 3% in road per rep and 2%, that's 50%. So making this deeper in road in the same amount of time, that's what I'm talking about. So perform correctly for 45 to 90 seconds. Now you're talking about real efficiency in stimulating your muscles to grow bigger and stronger. Now I think this deeper in road stimulates at least six hormones. If you got my book, you can look on page 287 and you can see all about these hormones. But you've got growth hormone, insulin growth factor, mechano growth factor, interleukin six, interleukin 15 and insulin, all that come into action. Now interleukins and myokins, those are interesting concepts. And they've only been recently classified for the last 10 years. But these are small chemical reactions inside the muscle which have hormone-like abilities on your systems. Myokins are particularly important because they deal in not only hypertrophy but atrophy, as well as what's called muscle-fat crosstalk. Now muscle-fat crosstalk is going to become more important in the future because if spot reduction is possible, and boy, I'm right on the verge of thinking that it is because of the disproportionate amount of fat that I see in the women I'm working with today that lose exercise from exercise out of post-tissue around their bellies. So muscle-fat crosstalk, you'll find that in the literature. The best article I know of is by this guy, Robert Satari, and 15 other people. He talks about BMP signaling controls muscle mass. And that's bone-marphogenic proteins. This is a family of transforming growth factors. And the interleukins are part of that. Interleukin 6, 15, and perhaps interleukin 8. So if Dr. McGuff was here, he could speak on that. I'm sure he understands it. But Alfred Goldberg of these 15, 16 people, he's the only one from the United States that was involved with this research. Some of you who are familiar with muscle hypertrophy and go back for many years will remember Goldberg from this famous article that he published in Medicine and Science and Sports. Mechanism of Work-Induced Hypertrophy of Skeletal Muscle. Now this was way back in 1975. And it still remains a classic in muscular growth. Here's what he did. He had groups of rats. And he would cut, he would cut the gastrocnemius muscle on one side where a rat, and then he'd sew it back up. A rat had to compensate by using the, instead of using the gastrocnemius, they had to use the plantarous and the soleus muscle. And guess what he found? When you force a rat to run, he doesn't want to, but you do, that you get growth of those muscles of the soleus and the plantarous. Why do you do that? Dramatic compared to the normal leg. I think it has to do with deeper in road. Then he took same type of rats, but different groups. On these groups, he gave them handicaps, took away growth hormone, no insulin, and put some of them on a starvation diet. Then he put all those groups back on the treadmill, had them run. Guess what? In spite of all these handicaps, the rats, plantarous, and soleus muscle grew dramatically. Why? Deeper in road. If stimulated, muscle will grow in spite of adversity. Now, this is what Arthur Jones was so famous for pointing out. If you stimulate a muscle to grow, and back off and rest, that muscle will grow, even if you don't eat, even if you don't sleep, even if you don't have certain hormones in your body. That is a fundamental biological priority. So here's my theory, which I bring out in this book. The body fat breakthrough. I believe deeper in road, properly applied, leads to a fundamental biological priority. And I think a lot of this is governed by an unknown hormone. Your body has many unknown hormones that we haven't defined, that we don't know about, that we'll discuss, find, discover in the future. But I see this hormone, and I watched it occur in hundreds of people, that there is something that takes the six, seven hormones that I mentioned and unites them into a championship team. I'm calling it negative backwards, which is the vitagen. Bill DeSimone is the only one in the room that understands that, right Bill? So remember, he vitagen. I've got pictures of this and how it interacts with the others in my book. So here's one chart that sort of explains everything. But I think somewhere deep inside the body is this unknown hormone, which regulates all these others and gives you the potential to not only build muscle if you get enough sleep, but also pull calories from your fat cells. April the 1st, 2014. My book was officially published. Contains 336 pages, seven parts, 31 chapters. I've got 44 sets of before and after pictures, detailed meal plan, exercise plans, and a ex-force appendix. So if you get a chance to look at it, do so.  Here's my definition. A negative routine, properly performed, makes a deeper inroad and triggers multiple hormones in higher amounts for greater than normal muscle gain and fat loss. That's the body fat breakthrough. Now in closing out all this, here's a group of body builders. These people were leaned to begin with in Gainesville. They did not want to lose fat, they wanted to build muscle. So about half men and half women. I put them on a six-week program. They could eat whatever they wanted to, although I encouraged them to eat 500 calories more a day. This guy put on 17.4 pounds of muscle in six weeks. Big difference there. This fella put on 19.5 pounds of muscle in six weeks. This is the woman that did the best, 7.8 in six weeks. And this fella, I had him on a special big arms program. He trained four times in two weeks, put on 12.7 pounds of muscle, got his arms up to 20 inches in the after picture. Now this is a high school athlete that came to me last January. He said he wanted to play football during his senior year, what I trained him. I said, yeah, I'll train you. He's a, his dad runs a swimming pool place, so I did a trade out with him. I trained him and he cleaned our swimming pool. He's still cleaning our swimming pool. But 16 years of age, I trained him only once a week with 30, 30, 30 on six to eight exercises. He put on 19 pounds. So you can see a big difference there. He's playing football and doing a good job this year. Arthur Jones, we were talking out in the hall about probably most people in here don't even know who Arthur Jones is. But he told me about 20 years ago, he said, I cannot provide an exact formula for success, but I can furnish a formula for failure. Give fitness-minded people what they want. Easier, longer, more frequent exercise. And every gym in the country, that's what people want. More exercise, the ones that go there regularly. Instead, Arthur said I supply them with what they need, harder, briefer, more infrequent exercise. All of us in this room need to understand that concept. As you get stronger, you can't stand more exercise. You have to have less exercise because that less exercise is making a deeper in road. You don't have near as much recovery ability to take care when you get twice, three times as strong. Now, if you look in my book, I not only cover negative exercise very thoroughly, but I talk about other factors that enter in the fat loss equation. And I've got drawings that show these, but besides negative training, I like everyone to take a cold plunge after a workout. In Gainesville, they have a 52 degree cold plunge that you can get chin deep in. I like people to do that two times a week, five to 10 minutes. It helps you recovery ability, it burns more calories, and it keeps you from getting so sore from negative exercise, which you do. Carbohydrate rich meals. Yes, sir, I believe carbohydrates are the key thing in losing fat. From 50 to 60% of your diet should be carbohydrate rich foods, fruits and vegetables, breads and cereals.  Does that tell you something? About 80% of the people in the United States, especially if you live in the South, suffer from partial dehydration. If you wanna hydrate your system, you gotta have carbohydrates. So the reason why these low carbohydrate diets work most of the time is you lose water when you quit eating carbohydrates. A gallon of water weighs eight and a half pounds. So most people can lose a gallon and a half of water from their glycogen, their glucose, from their cellular muscles in a week. That's not what you're trying to do, you're trying to lose fat. Well, guess what, there's not much water in fat. So you get fatter, you lose muscle, as you lose weight on a low carbohydrate diet. I let people do just the opposite. Now, besides that, I de-send the calories. 16, 15, 14, two weeks at a time. I have people drink at least a gallon of ice cold water a day. They do after dinner walking to burn more calories. They try to get extra one to one and a half hour sleep a night. The women especially like internet connections where they can socialize. Realistic evaluations, I tell people what to do by taking their measurements and by taking their before and after pictures, which help, and I push over learning. Finally, let me get out of this right quick. These are some of the other results that we had. These people are all in my book. Let me say something about women, because a lot of people in the room train women. More people go to the gym that are females than men. But we put 77 women through at least six weeks on the body fat breakthrough. The most muscle gained by a woman was 15.91 pounds. Least was 3.17. I had six women that gained over 10 pounds of muscle. The average was seven pounds. Not a single woman complained about her muscles being too big. So the bottom line, women need muscles perhaps more than men do, because they've neglected strength training for so long.  Both of these concepts are going on in my body fat breakthrough program. This is Angel Rodriguez, the guy that lost the most from the backside, but you can really see the difference. Lost 121 pounds of fat and put on 20 pounds of muscle. This is a picture of Angel and his wife. I think he got about 20 of my books when it came out. Okay, let me finally conclude. You've heard the background, you've seen the before and after pictures, you examined the data, you reviewed the details. What do you think? Can you lose up to 30 pounds in 30 days or is that too bold? Angel, the guy that lost so much, he said it's not bold enough.  But I talked about this earlier. The first group of 44 subjects, 84 days. I had one person that lost 80 pounds in 80 days, two that lost 60 pounds in 60 days, four that lost 50 and 57, that lost 30 and 30 and 15, that lost 20 pounds in 20 days. So originally on my book, I wanted to call it, you lose 20 pounds in 20 days, but we bumped it up to 30 and it's been magic. Any of you that are interested in book publishing, you need to understand this. In 2013 on amazon.com, how many new e-books were they? 2013, it's more this year, one million. You know how many that is a day? 2,740. There are 2,740 or more e-books. New e-books placed on Amazon every day. 10% of them are on fitness. Huge amount of competition if you got a fitness book out. You better have something that's attention getting or it's gonna get lost. One of my reviewers said Darden's research, sane science, insane results. I thank Martin for that. I'll use that on the backside of my book next time. Here's what another guy said. And I took the time to write this guy because he gave me a two-star rating. And I gave him a personalized routine on negative training. He wrote me back and he changed the rating from two to five. And he said, your special negative routine maybe you feel like I'd had a great night out with Jessica Alba. That involved a kilo shots and an evil lime wedge. Here's Jessica Alba from 10 years ago. In case you don't remember her. I've got a 12 year old son and I showed him that. And he said, dad, I want that negative training routine. So here we are. That's the book. Is it bold without being too bold? Yeah, I believe it's right on target. So here's my conclusion to you. Try negative training. Try 30, 30, 30. 15, 15, 15 plus eight to 12 reps. If you get a chance to go to Philadelphia to Gainesville, Florida, try X-Force equipment.  Try the book. It'll work if you need to lose a few or a lot of pounds. Okay, that's it. All right, let's give it up for Dr. John M. Who's got questions? Question, okay. That's our moderator got a question. So when you say negative, positive, negative, are you saying that when you lower it, it's gonna be, you're using higher weights while you're lowering it and somehow you're using help to raise it on the positive side so that, so that you're... Well, that's one way to do it. What I'm saying is you have to take 80% of what you can do, get to the top on a curl and go down in 30 seconds and come up in 30 seconds. That'll be difficult for most people. And in the last 30 seconds will be even more difficult. So you won't make 30, you may only make 15 seconds. Next time you come in, try to make 20, 25, 30. When you can do 30, 30, 30, add 5% more resistance. So it's just a new technique to use in progressive resistance exercise. A new technique that's much more productive if you're interested in building muscle and losing fat. That's what I'm saying. Yes. Ellington, I have a question. You may have touched on your speech. I missed part of it, I caught the beginning and the end. But in my experience in negative training, I've had really good benefits with sleep. Doing a lot of negative training in the afternoon actually knocked me out like an elephant, an elephant tranquilizer later at night. So I was curious if you have addressed that in your research yet or seen any results similar to that? I think the reason why you get sleepy is the growth hormones that comes into your system like a wave. So we've had some of these big bodybuilders that I showed you. They would stagger out of the workout, go back to the dressing room and go to sleep on the cold floor. One of them did it for an hour and a half. And if you have, you know, I've got a nine year old girl and a 12 year old boy and you can tell when they're growing because they don't wanna go to bed but if you can ever get them in bed, man in 30 seconds if you can get them to close their eyes, they're out. And you can't wake them up. I mean, you can go. So that's growth hormone. And you're absolutely right, Anthony. When you have a hard workout, you have to go home and go to sleep and sleep longer. Is there like an easy group of a few different exercises you can recommend to do the 30, 30, 30 or 15, 15, 15? Any of your basic exercises work well. It's not any exercise that's better than the others. You can use it on multiple joint exercises or single joint exercises, but all the basics work good. Yeah, way in the back. Yeah, you mentioned that, you mentioned with a few of the studies that you put up that they were only working out once or twice a week. Is that what you recommend as part of, you know, not going that as frequently to do workouts as well? Yeah, I've been recommending twice a week for the last 10 years. And that's what we had people do on the X-Force equipment. They did, started off doing five exercises twice a week. And eventually we bumped it up to eight exercises. But then if they went through a second time, we brought it down to one time a week, eight exercises. So I do something very similar with conventional machines and barbells, is you start out working twice a week, but then you go down to once a week. And there's a lot of people in Gainesville, Florida that only work out once a week hard. Yep. Hi there. I'm just having trouble wrapping my head around the carbohydrate recommendation. Cause like when you eat high glycemic carbs especially, right? It raises insulin and lipoprotein, lipase, basically as I understand it locks your fat in, makes it impossible to mobilize. Can you describe like the mechanism? Well, the mechanism when you do the negative training is that's not the case in my opinion. And this is something that'll be unbelievable but the people who were on reduced calorie diets actually got better muscle building results than these body builders who could eat anything they wanted to. So I think there's something magic to losing fat at the same time as you're trying to build muscle. I think they work beautifully together.  Thank you, excellent, excellent. As a director, I was pulled in several years ago with the paleo and subsequently have probably filmed over 300 speakers on the subject.  What I'm very interested because so a lot of the stuff you said resonated but how do a group of people whether it be in this room, old or small, begin to plug in all of this information which appears to be this fitness change revolution even though many in this room were on the forefront of it. But it's like he says, man, I'm trying to wrap my head around carbs. Then the next speaker who's selling a million books says no carbs. Where do we begin to find where we're isolating our own bodies, where do we fit in this? So I'm interested in your comment on that because obviously one size doesn't fit all. Yeah, one size doesn't fit all but one size fits most in my opinion. You've got exceptional people at both ends of a bell-shaped curve that nothing applies. I mean, or everything applies. They're outside the realm of science. But generally most people I go back to old school nutrition what I learned in the 60s and 70s that carbohydrates are a vital part of your basic four food groups and your diet. And yeah, there's a lot of people who disagree with that. There's a lot of people who've made a lot of money selling books.  Gets nowhere because you know what? They don't even use the names of the people in their books. Why? Well, they say the people don't want their names used. They want their names used in my book and their pictures. Did you ever ask them? So, you know, maybe they don't test the people. Maybe they don't, I know at most graduate departments in the United States, the graduate students do the work. The professor doesn't. Now, I've been a graduate student. Some of you in the room have been graduate students. Do you know what goes on among graduate students and the research they do? Do you think there's a bit of cheating and stealing and lying that occurs? Yep, lots of it. So, I do my research. I watch everything and I do most of it. I take the before and after pictures or have people that know what they're doing and supervise them doing it. So, you know, I go back to what Arthur Jones said. He said 50% of your results from any type of diet or exercise program comes from you believing in whatever system you're on. So, you can have the wrong system, but you can advertise and market and make people believe it for a while. Now, the low carbohydrate diets, most people don't stay on a low carbohydrate diet more than about three weeks. They lose seven or eight pounds, they're excited, but they can't continue longer in that, so they stop it. Why don't they send the book back or the program back and ask for their money? Because they figure, well, if I'd have stayed on it for six months, maybe I'd have lost 50 pounds. So, you know, I've got some important things here that need to be broadcast, but I also will tell you that a lot of people that go through my programs regain what they've lost and their muscles atrophy. Why? That's the American way.  I've got one guy in Gainesville that's been through my program over 30 years, about 12 times. And the first time he went through it, he said, Ellington, this program has changed my lifestyle and I'm gonna do it forever, be fit forever. That lasted about a year. But he's realistic. He said, man, I couldn't do it for longer than a year. And boy, everything just started looking better all the time to eat. So, he regained it, went back through, lost it, regained it, did that 10 or more times. There are a lot of people that do that. Used to bother me, not anymore because those people will sign up and pay money for your program again and again and again and they'll buy your next book. So, that's the truth of the matter. We live in a country where food is too available. Wasn't like that when the paleo supposedly happened. So, anything will work for a while, even if it's wrong. But Arthur Jones also said, you give me that 50% belief and the right science behind it and you'll get astronomical results, results that most people won't believe. Well, I've got results that a lot of people won't believe. I don't even believe most of it, but I've seen it repeatedly. So, I'm just trying to analyze it and get all the facts down and explain it in detail and that's what I've done here. So, this works if you believe it works. And if you believe it works, it's gonna work even better. So, that's my take on it. Afternoon, Allington. So, I understand the idea of a lower caloric intake with a higher carbohydrates, but what carbohydrates are you talking about? There's a pretty wide variety in rich carbs, whole grains. What would be the ideal carbs in your opinion? Well, I think people eat too much white sugar, but I think white sugar and moderation's fine. Now, what's moderation? Well, I don't know. I have to think about it. But moderation in all the carbohydrate foods, but I'm far whole grains as opposed to refined grains, but that's not to say that you can't be adequately nourished on refined white bread. It is nutritious. So, you've got to take your belief system and organize it accordingly. I give people fruits and vegetables, small servants of fruits and vegetables and breads and cereals every day, but not much. So, and I don't give them much protein and much fat. So, I'll tell you this, calories count. Whoever it was that started the idea that calories don't count, they don't understand thermodynamics because we are warm, blooded people and you better believe calories count. Every one of them counts. So. Thank you. Yep. Ellington, what is your website? Where can we find out more about you? Yeah, my website is www.doctordarden.com. That's D-R-D-A-R-D-E-N.com.  Great stuff. For you to get a discounted price there. Awesome. Let's give them a round of applause, guys. Great speech.


A fiery horse with a speed of light, the cloud of dust, and a hearty hi-oh silver, the lone ranger. During the years of unrest that followed the Civil War, a powerful secret organization called the Legion of the Black Arrow sprang up in the western United States. Its members were to be found everywhere defying the law, or using the law for their own purposes, working toward the ultimate goal of revolt in the foundation of a despotic empire. It was the masked rider of the planes who led the fight against this band of outlaws and traitors, and for once his great strength and courage, his daring and resourcefulness were taxed to the utmost in the cause of democracy. Return with us now to those thrilling days when the West was young. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the Great Horse Silver, the lone ranger rides again. Come on, Silver, run the trail of the Black Arrow, and Silver, fire! Heat rose in solid waves under the fierce sun that poured down on the Mojave Desert. Two men lay sprawled in the thin shade of a giant cactus, feebly hacking at the thick arms of the plant with hunting knives. It's no use, Sam. I'm so dry from lack of water, I haven't got the strength to cut that cactus. We've got to, Jed. We've got to. There's moisture in these branches. I can't do any more. I've got to rest. Blazing sun, everything looks like it's sliding up and down. Up and down. The heat. That's what it is. The heat. Tell you what, Jed, if we can hold out till sundown, it'll be cooler then.  We'll be dead by sundown. Bait for the buzzards. No. No, we won't. Bait for the buzzards. I shouldn't have led you out here, Jed. It's my fault. Shucks with partners, aren't we? Don't blame yourself. Partners. Yeah, partners. Live together, eat together, work together. Now we're going to die together. Just desert. Burning hot desert. The sun beating down, beating down on us like it had fists. What's that? It's a wolf. Don't go thinking it's our dog, Lopier. Just a wolf, that's all. What difference does it make? Who gets this? The buzzards or the wolves? We're cashing in our chips anyway. We're all through. Well, it had to come sometime, Jed. There's nothing we can do now. Just take what comes. Maybe we'll see the sun go down and maybe not. Just take whatever comes. Oh, silver. Too fast for the dog. He's meeting us someplace. We're far into Mojave Desert already. I wonder where this dog is leading us. He can keep going into desert at all. Obviously, he wants us to follow. That's how he keeps looking up at us to make sure we're with him. Oh, dog, he's plenty tired.  Sun going down now, cool ground dog. He's the old fella. We're with you. He's going faster. He must be nearing the end of his trail. He's not got nose to ground anymore. Maybe him's the end of trail. There's nothing inside but that giant cactus. He's trying. Tato, look. Huh? The base of the cactus. Aren't those figures? Sun down now. Not much light. That's it, Kimosave. He's two men. They're lying on the sand. Come on, silver. Get them off the couch. Hello. Hi. No answer, Tato. They don't even stir. Onside, boy. Let me see them. Let me bring water. That's what it is, Tato. Exhausted from heat and thirst. Him dead? His heart is still beating. What about the other man? Him heart beat, too. Not very strong. We'll do all we can for them. Open that canteen. See if we can force some water down their throats. Don't worry, fella. We'll do everything we can to save your master's lives. The sunset and darkness spread over the desolate desert in place of the heat, the air turned cold and biting. The stars appeared, icy blue and sharp in the sky. Slowly, they wheeled through space. As the lone ranger and Tato, their breathing, making vapor in the chill air, worked desperately to bring back the flickering spark of life in the two lost men. Until finally, several hours before dawn... It's cold. Cold. Well, if it isn't love here... You'll be all right now. I reckon I was mighty close to dead, mister. How sad. Him open eyes now. That sounds like love here. Sounds like our dog. You're better now. Yeah, he better. Thanks to you, too. I don't thank us. If your dog hadn't found us and brought us here, nothing would have done any good. Can you stand up? I can. How about you, Jed? Yeah.  Let's lean on Tato and me. And did you have any horses or pack mules? No, mister. We was traveling light, going on foot. Sam and me are old hands that trample across deserts. Only this time, we come to grief. Well, you can ride double on silver and scout. You'll have to be out of the desert as soon as possible. Before the morning sun makes it unbearable again. Uh, me get horses pronto. Here's count. Here's silver. Jed, you can ride with me. Sam can go with Tato. You know, but first let me grab our pack. I'll get it, Jed. Yeah. Wait a minute. What's this? What's what, mister? You have a water bottle and it's full. Yep. Why didn't you use it?  Mister, uncork that bottle and taste that water. But don't swallow it. Just put your tongue against it. Well, this is... Here, Tano. Taste it. Be careful not to swallow any. Well? Demon zombie. That water not good. That water's been poisoned. Where did you get it? That's the funny part, mister. We fill that water bottle straight out of the well with good, sweet drinking water. Ah, that means somebody put poison in after. Yes, Tato. But who did it? That's what we don't know. Lots of people had the chance. If we could get back to Arrowhead, maybe we can find out. Sam, Tato and I will make sure you get back. We'll help you. Come on, up on the horses. We're all ready. All set. Just sing out, mister. We'll hang on. Cork that water bottle, Tato. Make sure the water doesn't leak out. Sam's head. Whoever did this is nothing short of a murderer. We don't like murderers in the West.  Come on, sit down! A few hours after sunrise, two men were riding their horses along the rim of the desert after playing cards in the Arrowhead Cafe most of the night. I reckon I can sleep to sit around, Bran. When we get to that bunkhouse, we're gonna flop into blanket roll boots and all. Maybe we ain't going to the bunkhouse, Sheila. Oh, now listen. Cast your eyes out westward. Look what's coming from the desert. What do you bet? Well, I'll be dogged. A couple of horses carry a double. Yeah. You know who that is? Of course not. Can't make him out of this distance. You don't have to. Look what's traveling with them horses. A dog, ain't it? Well, pardon me if it ain't. It looks like creeping catamounts. That looks like love beer. It didn't save us, dog. But it can't be. It is. That means sure as fate that Sam and Jed are riding them horses along them other two gents. Twist your reins, Shuller. We're hightailing back to town. Is somebody gonna be mighty interested in this news? Get a man.   I've said it enough times already, Lembearsley. But it'll bear repeating. My husband, Jed, went out into the Mojave Desert again yesterday after he promised not to. And you're the one who first talked him into it. Church, don't give me all the credit. And Jed's got a partner. Sam follows Jed's lead. Don't go blaming Sam for this. What are you so all fired worried about, anyways, Molly? They've been on the desert many a time. They're old hands. I don't trust that desert. It's mighty treacherous. And there's other things being treacherous, too. Now, look at here, Molly Hawkins. If you're hitting and I had some dark reason for sending them out of the Mojave, you've been listening to gossip. I'm just a storekeeper. Jed and Sam owe me a plenty for back bills, for food advancements. You got shares of their discoveries, didn't you? Sure. I grub-staked them. None of the claims they filed was worth anything, so I had to... So you egged them into trying again? I mean, it's got a right to get some of his money back. Jed and Sam are the best doggone prospectors in the West. They've just been having hard luck, that's all. Naturally, I'm eager for them to strike at Rizzle. Lamb beer, please! Who's that?  Howdy. Looking for me? Do you love beer, please? That's my handle, mister. What can I do for you? I'll let you tend to your store, mister. Me and my sidekick want some supplies. Well, glad to oblige. All right, right along with you. Adios, Molly. Don't harbor any hard feelings to get me. Jed and Sam will be all right. You'll see. It won't be your doing if they are.  Let's go, mister, with an all-fired hurry. Right. Get along, horse.  Hmm, more strange goings on. I'm almost certain I've seen those two gents in Lamb Beardsley's store, and yet he acts like he never met them till just now. And besides, telling the way to his store, they're hidden someplace else. We acted like we didn't know you, Beardsley. Just so as the woman wouldn't get any suspicion. All right, friend, what's up? Trouble, Lamb. Yeah, I handled trouble before. Things aren't going the way you calculated they would. Get to the point. Point out. What's wrong? Tell them, Shaylor. You sent me and Brand into the Mojave to make sure Jed and Sam were dead. Yeah, seems to me it got back mighty quick. Because we didn't have to go far. Went no farther than the edge of the desert. Why? Because Jed and Sam aren't dead. We saw them. What? Yeah, they're alive. They're heading back there ahead right this minute. That's impossible. They couldn't live without water. Somebody found them. Two gents with two horses. The white's starting to paint. The horses are carrying a double and coming this way. And I reckon you boys better earn the cash I'm paying you. How do you mean? Rain up.  Pull that. Pull that. Now listen to me and listen close. From this spot, you can see the trail plain. I'm not sure. We're right above it. Uh-huh. I want you to make sure Jed and Sam don't get to town. Yeah, but they're coming this way now. Yeah, so they are. The morning sun will be right in their faces. You can shoot them down before they know what hit them. Ma'am, you mean? Sure, I do. I mean just that. An ambush. The only way I want Jed and Sam to reach Arrowhead is feet first. Dead and adorned. Dog on coyuzes would stop stopping. Oh, forget it. Those riders are galloping toward us. Their horses make too much noise for me here much. They'll be real close soon. They'll hold you fire till I give the word. Yeah. Just like Birdsley ate it. Why didn't he stay here instead of heading back for town? Well, that's his business. He's paying a shaler. Besides, we don't need him. The shooting will be as easy as skinning the gopher. Here they come. A nice, clear target. And get set. Any time you give the word, they got to be drawing the Jed right in the paint horse. I got the stallion. A couple more seconds. Just a couple more seconds. What's in places? What's getting to that door? I don't know. He's barking fit to kill. I don't understand. You're putting mavericks in. That's how it smells. The wind's giving them a scent. Start shooting before they catch you on poor lead into them. Shoot. The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. Now to continue our story. The shooting was fierce and short. Only a few seconds after Brand and Shaler first pressed their triggers and emptied their guns, they stopped shooting. Well, that was short and sweet, wasn't it, Shaler? Yeah.  Nothing moving but the dog. They look at him whimpering over Jed's body. Pretty good shooting, if I do say so. Perfect shooting. Four men and two horses, all of them flat on the ground. They'll sample and spread the good word to Lamb Beardsley. You know, say, maybe we got a ride down there and make a sit-in all day. Yeah, maybe we ought to. Might as well make... No, no, we won't. Like that. No sense leaving tracks for folks to see, Shaler. Besides, there's no reason for it. We didn't miss. Yeah, rigging your ride. Come here, horse. We sure earned our pay, didn't we? Come on. Get up there. Right now, they're gone. Up on Pete's count. Hello, silver old fella. That's it. Here, up here, we sure miss sudden death at time. We can thank the dog for warning us of that ambush, Jed. It wasn't time to start shooting back. That do no good, Kimo Tubby. They're well-hidden. We not have chance. Has anyone hurt? I caught one in my arm, Mr. Just a scratch, though. All right, be all right. Time to fix it. You let me rip shirt. Sure beats everything the way those two horses rolled over and played dead when you told them to. Silver and Scott are well-trained, Jed. If your horses hadn't been carried in double, you might have headed right straight at those ombris and written them down. And mighty fast horses. Scratch all fixed, Kimo Tubby. Yeah. What do we do now? What kind of question is that? Why bother asking? We're going up on that hill where those snakes tried to ambush us and start right after them while the trail is fresh. No, we're not, Jed. Huh? You and Sam are staying right here. But, Mr. I think my reason is, Jed. Oh, just tell us where your cabin is, so Tullip can go there. A cabin? Nobody there but Molly, my wife. Well, where is it? Well, it's just north of town. There's a cottonwood at the door. But I don't savvy why you want us to stay here. Instead of going... Jed Hawkins, you talk too much. Huh? The masked man's got some scheme up his sleeve to trap these ombris. Ain't that right, Mask Man? Yes, Sam. But even more important, I want to trap the man who gave them orders. Well, sure, only way... Only nothing. Him and the engine saved us from dying on the desert, didn't they? Yeah? They brought us out safe, didn't they? And it was the masked man's quick-sinking, telling us to drop to the ground and play dead that kept us from getting filled full of lead, wasn't it? Well, sure. Then don't go questioning his judgment, because I ain't. I aim to do exactly as he says. Well... Tino, Sam, Mr. will play it your way. You'll have no cause to regret that, either of you. I remember. Wait here. Adios. Goodbye. Hit him up. Hey! There he is, Silver. Here you are, Kimusari. That's right. And they're caught in the woods near the door. This is James' cabin. How do you do? Are you Mrs. Hawkins? Yes. Come in. You're him. What's that? You're wearing a mask.  Who do you mean? A woman told you about me?  And this here's Tonto. Uh-huh. That's right. Mr.... Not more than ten minutes ago, a lady wrote up just like you did. She knocked on the door and asked me, was this the home of Jed Hawkins? And when I said it was... Yes? What then? She gave me a message. She said to warn Jed to look out for them Beardsley. Beardsley? The storekeeper in Arrowhead. And, Mr. I'm plum worried, because it was Beardsley who slick talked my husband into going out in the desert again. Oh, I see. And, uh, how did you know about us? Because of what the woman said. She said to tell nobody I couldn't trust. But if a masked man wrote up with an engine powered, then I could speak freely, because that man was the long ranger. The woman's gone? Yeah. Spoke her peace and left just as fast as she'd come. What did she look like, Mrs. Hawkins? I couldn't see, Mr. She was wearing a veil. Uh-huh. He must hubby. That woman who helped us. Yes. The mysterious woman. If she's been here, that means a black arrow was mixed up in this somewhere. What's that, masked man? Did you say black arrow? Yes, I did. Well, now that's strange, Mr. because Lem Beardsley's got a black arrow tattooed on the inside of his left wrist. What's it mean? Oh, that's pretty bad. Never mind, Mrs. Hawkins, but thanks for the information. Your husband and Sam were ambushed this morning on the edge of the desert. Am ambushed? Masked man, you mean to say that you're... I know Mrs. Hawkins. He's alive. They're both alive. It's up to us to get the men who planned that ambush. You've told us about Beardsley. Now, here's what you must do. Yes, that's what happened, Beardsley.  All four of them, hey? And the horses. Nice shooting, James. Real nice shooter. Wait a minute. What's the matter? Did you cover your tracks? No, we didn't. Yes, our nation fools. When that murder is found out, they'll track you right straight here. You can't... Now, hold your horses, Beardsley. You didn't let me finish. Huh? Nobody can follow our tracks all the way here. Don't you save me as soon as we hit the regular trail into town, our tracks got mixed up with all the regular travelers. Oh, yeah, they're so... We're safe as if we were sitting right in church. Well, we could even go out there and discover the bodies ourselves. No one would think anything of it. That's right, Shaler. Now, I'll pay you, James, often. Beardsley! Beardsley! What in thunderousion is Mrs. Hawkins? Don't be local, Grant. No need to bamboos. You said yourself no one suspected. Now, come on. We'll move to the out front and see what she's belling about. Now, come on. We'll move to the out front and see what she's belling about. Beardsley! Everybody! Help! What's the matter, Molly? What's all the fuss about? Maybe your husband's stricken ribs. I haven't been ambushed. He's been ambushed on the edge of the Mojave. Molly, what's that? Jed shot... The dog come to the cabin. I followed him out there. Jed was ambushed and so was Sam and two strangers. It must have happened this morning. I come to ask you to help him. Oh, Tabarium. Well, what are we waiting for? Oh, come on, James.  We'll ride out there this instant. And what's more, we'll get the scheming yellow coyotes who shot him down. That's telling them, isn't it, Brad? Yeah, Liam. Instead of worrying about a Percy, we'll be the Percy ourselves. Where's my horse? Oh, hurry! Come on, come on! Come on, come on! Come on! Come on, come on! Come on, come on! Come on, come on! Come on, come on! Come on, come on! Come on, come on! Come on, come on! Come on, come on! Come on, come on! Come on, come on! Are they coming that way? They'll be here in a few minutes. How long I saw them from the ridge? We get off, of course. This is the spot where we were lying, Masked Man, right here. All right, then we'll all lie down. Down, Silver. You scout, lie down. Lay dead. Lock here. Hush up that barking. Hush up. Jett and Sam dropped to the ground. Silver and Scout obeyed their masters and stretched out on their sides. And the ranger and tanto followed suit. By the time the posse topped the rise and slowed to a halt, only the dogs seemed to be alive. They're ambushed. They look like they've never had a chance. Horses and all. No, it's a crying shame. No, no, Molly. You've got to buck up. I know Jed's your husband, but everybody's got to go sometime. Weepin' won't do any good. Come on, gents. Land us a hand with them. We'll give them a decent... Never mind, Glen Beardsley. You won't have to bury my husband or any of them. Now what kind of talk is that? Molly, have you gone over? You won't have to because none of them are dead. None of them are dead. He's right, Beardsley. Up on your feet. We've got a welcoming committee. If this is your idea of a joke, Molly Hawkins, I throw in my hand. I'm heading back for town. Just a minute, Beardsley. Who is he?  We don't like outlaws in these parts. Don't listen to them, Beardsley. That there's a lone ranger. What Mrs. Hawkins told you was the truth. We were ambushed this morning, but the bullets didn't hit us. Never mind, making up stories.  What the masked man said is gospel truth.  You see them, Tutto? Ah. Two men stand beside Beardsley. Then they can... Bridge! Run for it! Get to the horse! Now, fix your mask, Beardsley. Oh! Did you see that, Jed? Shot the guns right out of the hand. Sir, he's the lone ranger, all right. All right, Masked Man, you got it. Do go to jail. Let's watch. Kino, but savvy this. We're telling you right now. We were just following orders.  And here's why. Hawkins didn't you and said, take out a claim on the little smoking and give Beardsley a share in it? Sure. But there wasn't enough order. Philip Polk ran out in no time. That claim was worth it. Now, that's what you think. Suppose I tell you, Beardsley's found a rich vein behind the old Diggins. He planned to get rid of you, too, so he could have it all for himself. So that's it. My orders knew Lem Beardsley was no good. Just a minute. Hold on, Beardsley. Let go of my arms. We're holding you. Yeah, let him go. I'll speak up, Beardsley. Here, dog gone tooting. I'll speak up. I never had anything to do with any shooting, not me. What's more, I don't know these two hombres. Never saw them before today in my life. Well, you wouldn't... They came into my store to buy supplies, put them in the caliber, string them up for all I care, but I had nothing to do with it. Oh, let me free.  I'll... You can't prove it. You can't prove nothing. I'm a respected citizen of this here town. Beardsley. Well, what do you want? You're not telling the truth. No. Well, my claim still goes. And if nobody can prove that these gents say... We'll prove it. I don't get that water bottle. Uh-huh. Time to do it. Water bottle? Well, what are you talking about? Here, bottle. I want you to take a drink from this water bottle, Beardsley. I'm not thirsty. Go ahead. Well, there's gents' water bottle. I can't be anything wrong with that. Beardsley, either you drink from this bottle before I count three, or I'll force it down your throat. No, no. One, two, three. No, no. All right, hold his arms, Todd. No, no. I won't drink it. That water's poison. This poison, I tell you. How do you know it's poison? I won't drink it. It's poison. I put it in gents' water bottle myself. If I drink that out... Let him go, Todd. He's confessed already. You all hurt him. Mass Man, you not only saved our lives, but you also helped rid this town of a no-good crook. We'll slap all three of them in the jailhouse. They'll be there right pronto now. Come on, start moving. Time for us to hit the trail, Todd. Uh-huh. Here's count. Here's silver. Wait. Mass Man, which way are you heading? Well, I don't know, Mrs. Hawkins. We have no definite plan. Well, if I were you would go north. North to Tamarack. Why Tamarack? Well, no reason, Mr. Only just before that mysterious woman left, she said that's where she was heading. To the town of Tamarack. Adios, Mass Man. Adios! We hit trail for Tamarack. Get him up, Scalfall! Silver! You have just heard as a copyrighted feature of the Lone Ranger Incorporated.


the PrintoScent checking out the setup that they have right here. So hello, so who are you? Hello, my name is Kari Rankov from VTT, representing PrintoScent. And so what does PrintoScent do? PrintoScent is, we would say, a program or an industrial cluster. We want to promote industrialization and commercialization of printed electronic technologies from laboratory to real industrial products. We have formed an industrial cluster of more than 40 companies, global companies, local companies in Finland, small companies, SMEs, startups, micro companies, where we together look for solving different kinds of bottlenecks in the industrialization of printed electronic technologies. So if I look at this, what is going on here? What is this thing here? We have been working now with several companies in our cluster for large area flexible luminaires, first for general lighting, but also now for these different kind of display applications. The role-to-role facilities in PrintoScent pilot factory, we can do different kind of system architecture. So now your luminaire can be meters or even tens of meter long, or your sensor foils can be different kind of system architecture. So are you from Finland? We are in Finland so that the founding members of PrintoScent is VTT, University of Oulu and University of Applied Science of Oulu and City of Oulu. What is this? This is a demonstrator we did in VTT to demonstrate that we can make this type of variable device fully rolled roll. So we first make the printing of wiring in rolled roll. We add some reality components, bearded components in rolled roll, and then we make the injection molding based on rolled roll feeding. And what is this stuff here? Here we have some several technological demonstrators. For example, here's a user interface from the company called Tactotec, which is part of our community based on emote labeling. We have here, it's not on, but we have here display elements integrated inside the class. So we're looking for example with Bilkington for new type of bus destination displays. We have also variable products. This is product from MoveSold company for making smart insoles, for helping people having diabetes problems to learn how to work the correct way to improve the healing. So what do you think about the ID Tech Act show? I think today, this year, show has been really successful. We have been really busy times. We have made a lot of new companies, a lot of new end user customers to ask us how we have a problem, can you help us? Earlier years it was more like what kind of new stuff you have. So it's been very, very nice show this year.


Rattlesnakes can be found in a variety of habitats throughout California. And most rattlesnake bites occur between April and October when both humans and snakes are most active outdoors. Rattlesnakes are commonly found where we live, work, and play. And often rattlesnakes are found in our backyards when we garden. The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services encourages Californians to be on lookout for snakes when heading outside or even during a disaster. And this goes for first responders as well. Turnouts make great snake bite protection. Absolutely, the equipment, the fireman wear, I mean that's some pretty thick gear and they're not real tight along your calves. They should be absolutely able to defend themselves from the angry fangs of a rattlesnake. But stay alert when on any call in wildlands or suburbia. While you're outdoors this summer season, there are things you can do to reduce the likelihood of a rattlesnake encounter or worse, a painful bite. Wear boots and long pants while hiking. Stay on designated trails and avoid walking through tall grass and weeds. Don't step or put your hands where you cannot see. If you're walking and you do see a snake, back away slowly. And if you suddenly hear that spine chilling rattle, freeze, look for the snake, then back away from it. But if you are bitten, remain calm and seek immediate medical care. While outdoors, keep a close eye on children and pets. Cal OES has even included animal welfare as part of the state emergency plan. When the temperatures get really hot, make sure you bring your dogs in at night. Rattlesnakes are nocturnal. Dogs want to go out and play and investigate. Maybe this way you can help avoid having a dog from being bitten by a rattlesnake. Being alert for rattlesnakes will help you, your loved ones and pets safely enjoy what California nature has to offer. Be especially alert this time of year. I mean, nobody's exempt from rattlesnakes. For more information on summer preparedness, including our previous stories on rattlesnakes, visit us at news.caloes.ca.gov.
