All right, separate traders welcome on back here this Wednesday and great to see everybody Great to be a part of the trading rooms here today Of course with Hurricane Ian kind of coming up towards the southeast southwest side of Florida And had to evacuate. I'm actually at my friend's house right now doing this meeting So great to see everybody here. Just give me a quick sound check Make sure everyone can hear me loud and clear at least good to go inside the live trading room for Michael and later Great to see you both Hopefully great to see everyone else coming up here and for all of us in social media Facebook live YouTube I believe I am good to go there as well. Well, folks, I'll tell you what that in mind I actually got the hot tag from Fausto just earlier today. He's actually at the doctor's office still just on a longer appointment Taking longer than expected You know, he's prepping up for his surgery just next week So he ended up texting me just a moment ago asking if I could do the phase 3 classroom in his absence So I look forward to that at least, you know, obviously under Circumstances wishing Fausto the best, of course But you know, I love tagging in for him either way just to kind of show you folks how I look to set my afternoons up How I set my mornings up especially here on a stock like the ABOS trade So ABOS, you know, at least for right now heading into the market afternoon here market close is looking pretty choppy This thing was a much better trade from earlier today Really pre-market early on but you could see after the open it ended up bottoming out just a little bit above 7 bounce back up and over 8 up and over 8 30 from there It's been a much better trade up until now up until right now So I'll go over this trade in full at least during the afternoon class at least, you know Explain it in further detail where I ended up trading the stock just earlier today where I ended up just getting out You know, I was talking to one of our students Jim inside the main chat and just saying hey It's too choppy right now So you can imagine I got out before I told Jim that I wasn't really feeling this as much after it came Right back down. It was starting to make a good push up and over 954 again. That was a big level from earlier today But again, we'll go into this trade in further detail at least in the phase 3 stock course class the ABOS stock I don't mind putting us on our main list, you know in hopes of this breaking out once more If anything at least to give to all of us just here live whether you're joining the class or not later today We always like to at least go over other levels ahead for this trade. I'm not holding my breath waiting for this I'm not but if the stars could really align for this type of trade And now at this point it's gonna be a lot harder, but you know, we'll see what happens as I say that as I say that I'm like pissed off that I'm not in this trade right now. So yeah needless to be said We're gonna put this ABOS on our watch list certainly not this point big pop. So I'm not gonna hold my breath, but now I guess it's a little bit more possible with this the last big burst Let's hope this holds support now roughly from right around that 950 954 price I want to get away from that purple 940 area. That was just a really strong level from pre-market But yeah, right around 1275 1282 I don't hold your breath and tens your next big level But if the stars could really align, you know Don't be surprised over time if you could see this end up getting close towards there before the afternoon or you know Hell who knows maybe like the after hours or something you know make that pop But you know ABOS definitely now at this point we're gonna put on our watch list now Let's go from top to bottom Otherwise we had a pretty good day today market ended up of course moving up very nicely spies I always like to follow topped off right around that 370 level Lower high since but you know, it's holding relatively well at least from where I last checked But let's just go from top to bottom here. Otherwise, we'll see what we could put back on our watch list or add to our list here This PEPG is not looking too good It's actually looking like much worse even than the ABOS before that popped and it has much thinner liquidity So, you know, it's really more for that reason than anything. We're gonna pass on this trade PRT a same thing or this one's really expensive. It's like sabba, but even more illiquid Sabba at least we're familiar with SAVA pretty well on that stock back in the last week You know dropped off today, but you know, it's one that we've had on our side list though more often than not Alright, let's keep going down this list here the SOBR stock ended up making a pretty good move also from today So now you could at least see it ended up making a big break burst out above resistance It took a while to get that pop, but you're heading into the mid-afternoon just right before 1 o'clock It ended up making that pop but more importantly When a stock breaks above resistance and runs off it Resistance becomes support. So again, we'll go over this stock more in class later today if we have the time Hopefully it's a very active market close where honestly, we're just trading more than we're going back, right? That's that's the purpose, but you know, we ended up following this from the early to mid-afternoon Caught a couple of good trades on this stock. I'm not in it now as you could see But no ended up making a nice pop from earlier today a little bounce. So I don't mind putting this back on our list At least for right now It's gotta be a buyout right be our BTRS This one looks pretty interesting FNG are I so let's pop up on my Benzinga scan earlier today But I didn't really call it out inside the lab trading room. Just to be honest with you Now it looks pretty nice I mean it looks obviously, you know, pretty good here just given the spread how inexpensive the stock is and even with that You have a resistance up top at 170 but an even bigger support on the bid You have a pretty big iceberg there at 158 for about 40 to 43,000 shares So don't modify do here FNG are All right, got a nice little list here to begin folks It's always good when you go down like the first few stocks on the gainer side You know with five ten stocks there and you have like, you know, two three four stocks on there to begin You know, it's a drag when I go across the gainers list and there's next to nothing, right? So, you know, not bad so far beat. I know it was pretty strong earlier today end up making a nice move this one ended up teasing us back from a week or two ago and Honestly, I mean I I am interested in this stock. I have been from this past week But every time I've turned over to it now at this point I just feel like I'm chasing it not because of the, you know, day-to-day move But more just on the intraday side like I come over to the stock It was already at like 340 350 So I was looking for a pullback and at the time it just never really gave it to me. So Hey right now beat still looks pretty interesting It's like kind of trending down off the highs a bit But hopefully it holds here and makes a bigger pop by the time the market closes or within the final hour That is so yeah beat we'll put on our list here as well I know my font is also really tiny folks. So, you know, for all of us inside the live trading room You know, it's I'm on a different computer here today. I'm on my laptop. I'm only working off of like two monitors I feel very out of elements. So, you know, hopefully you catch a couple of good trades But otherwise, you know, I got to take things pretty cautiously with that though QTRX pretty flat here Yeah, blue apron from earlier today You know, hey, it depends on your trading personality at the end of the day for the stock Right because it made a really good move, you know, really nice move up across the day But if you're in the interest of holding on for, you know, three four hours And if you're at your desk all day, then hey, that's that's great But once I jumped into this trade-off of I think it was like 540 ish It just was really stalling out. I was expecting a must a much faster move at that point We've seen blue apron, you know at times I mean actually more recently more choppy as it has been. Oh, that's why I got out of the trade with a few cent profit It was like four or five six cent profit whatever was but ended up just grinding up grinding up throughout the day It ended up making that continued move up that you hope to see but you wanted a much faster move at the time It was like 1015 1030, you know, there was still some time to see it make a bigger squeeze So I missed out on this move here at least the the apron the majority of it ended up moving up towards like 610 615 You know, you could say it's holding well Right, but it's like almost a little too slow here I'll put this on our side list for right now You know by the end of this meeting if it ends up making a pop or squeezing up a little bit more I'll put it on our main list ZY it's I Mean if you got a huge iceberg order on the ask at 307 it's treating only about 3700 shares a minute Doesn't really sound too great. I'll put this on our side list as well. I don't think I'll be adding this one though at least And a bunch of slow stocks now at this point folks geez what's going on here KPTI this one was a runner for us in the past Grant where's Grant at today? Gold's been doing really well today gold mining Jnug NUGT these ETFs, but otherwise different gold related stocks, but again look at them now look at here You know in the afternoon here a you know moved up early in the morning It actually had a bit of a pullback afterwards, but that's just really flat now at this point for the afternoon it more exhausted All right folks I have a feel I'll be jumping back to Benzinga pro before the end of this meeting I mean I always do but I need to rely on it here for this one I feel so let's go across the loser side now, you know, we have a good start You know, let's see if there's anything on the loser side here Oh, I didn't even realize this until now. I mean this just goes to show right So one of us is asking earlier today like hey, what what about the stock AMV like what happened to it? It was like it was the top percent gainer early in pre-market. It was up. What was it up like a hundred fifty percent? I Mean you can see the daily chart opened up here That was a really poor whistle, but you get my point dropped all the way down towards sub 50 So, you know, this stock was trading no liquidity out there whatsoever You know, it was a pure gamble if anything, right? I think there was another stock today S-I-L-O that was like a pure gamble. I wrote that in the trading room in pre-market It was on the way down here early. It was trading like really no volume on the order book. Look at it now It's like continued its drop. It's just gonna be really difficult to trade with the liquidity let alone the trend All right, what else we got here going down the loser side here market did pretty nicely today so I wouldn't expect a whole lot across the Loser side we tend to say that often days, but see what we have here I'll tell you what I don't have my scroll bar here right now, too That's like kind of funky. So I'm trying to go down this loser's list. Let's see if there's anything that looks good I hey folks if there's anything else up down left right more than five percent, you know I always ask let me know here in the chat board, especially when I'm working off this like crappy laptop Eat a little help right now Sand I think this is a gold money stock, which is interesting with Jnug and Nugget and you know the gold stock still up percentage wise. This took a huge hit. Geez sandstorm I don't know the news on this stock if anything Mario saying ppsi late a second or later first then Mario seconding that let's take a look Beautiful there we go folks a couple of our longtime students working together like that excellent Mark saying VFC is a short mark knows it shorts Beautiful perfect. I could definitely rely on you folks here inside live live trading room. I appreciate that Let's jump to a couple stocks now from Benzinga here and Zynga pro scanner side Pops trying to bounce a little bit not a whole lot happening though really you know compared to the You know move it that it made across the morning. I'm just kind of looking at my other screen here I LA G It's trying to bounce a little bit You know held over the VWAP just a moment ago. It's not a bad spot. Don't get me wrong It's just not trading a lot of volume per minute really You know the loser side here Mark that short on VFC. I see that pop up now take a look on Xpev maybe Yeah, it's not near the lows That's savagery. I think it's still dropping off, but it's hard to borrow you can't look to short that That's the right folks. Hey, I'll tell you what for right now We're looking pretty good at this point here, especially with the PPSI and the VFC from Mark and Mario and Leda all together there Appreciate that folks spy right now, you know holding off that 370 levels So now that's gonna be a really strong resistance heading into the end of this week today's obviously Wednesday So you know come Thursday even Friday, perhaps We'll see it potentially retest that level over time and make a bigger pop if it comes sooner than later God bless. I'll look to try and capitalize on a few stocks that move with the market Perhaps Neo perhaps, you know, maybe one of the airlines or cruise lines one of the sideless stocks as we famously like to say But I'm not necessarily expecting that at first. So, you know, if we get it, we'll see what happens But otherwise, you know, we'll follow these stocks at least here on the main watch list We have a good list here at this point. All right, folks Let me just check social media Facebook live YouTube here. I'm working off two screens So I'm gonna see if there's anything at least from this side. I got nothing, which is fine I think that we ran through pretty much everything with a fine-tooth comb As best as we can. All right, so for all of us in social media folks Facebook live YouTube Fousal will be back tomorrow morning, I believe But otherwise if you have any other questions feel more than free to send it over via email Josh at c2 trading calm I always like to post my email here at the end of these streams And then otherwise if you're interested in joining our live trading room Just go right down to the link on the yellow banner below the stream right there to get yourself started But for later for Mario for Mark and all of us inside the live trading room currently I look forward to seeing most of us at least there in the phase 3 course You know for any of our gold platinum and diamond students at least they're rich will post the link very timely rich appreciate you there You know you can click the link right now just to make sure that you get access make sure that you're squared away with the tech side of things Just with it being a phase 3 class. I got to make sure I start pretty much right at 3 o'clock I want to at least so you know, I'll be in there pretty soon. I look forward to it I'll talk to everyone there. Take care.

So, my name is Shigong. I work at the National University of Singapore as a research assistant. And we do a lot of the Internet of Things research. So, what I'm going to be describing here is one of the frameworks that we have built as a part of our research and how we've been using it in making Internet of Things research easier and making it more usable by general people. I mean people who don't really have the tech knowledge of it. I would like to start with the video of a demonstration that we had made. What you'll see in the video is that I go to a room, I tap on an MC card. It automatically sets up the environment for me like all my IoT devices like the light bulb and my Apple TV and all that. And then something interesting happens that you can see in the video. So I'll show that first. So now as I tap on that card, my room gets set up for me. So there's an Apple TV behind me that you can't really see right now. Then there are these lights that are also controlled and available on the Wi-Fi. Then there's that drone that works on Bluetooth connectivity.  It's called a Sphero. And that also talks to the phone at the same time. So now the idea here is that I want to be able to use mutually incompatible devices to control other things. So right now you will never be able to control a drone with a Sphero ball. Or you will not be able to control an Apple TV with a Sphero ball. So here what you're going to do is that the Sphero ball is taken as the remote controller. And everything that I tap the phone to will be controlled by the Sphero then. So now I tap the Apple TV and now the ball gets hooked up with the Apple TV. Now if I do like this it plays in both of the video. And at the same time you can see that the lights are also connected due to the same shadow. So every time the video plays the lights dim and every time the video pauses the lights turn on automatically. Now you might have missed but I use the same Sphero. Like one of the orientations of this Sphero actually moves the video forward and the other orientation also moves the video backward. So now I want to be able to control the drone with the same ball. So what I do is I tap the drone. This is the MRT tag if you guys are visiting the court for some time. So I pick up the ball, once I tap on the ball it turns on the drone. And then as I, what the orientation of my ball is the drone is also littering the same IMU. So this is one of the demos and one of the papers that we had published at NUS. So I just wanted to begin with the video because then it helps to make things, helps it easier to understand what I'm going to talk about. So yeah, my name is Shivam. I work at the Felicity's Computing Institute at the University of Singapore. And that's actually my, since I stole these lights from my professor so that's his name. And I just didn't know how to get rid of it so it's there. So like everybody is now trying to build context-aware systems. Like you want to personalize everybody's experience as and when they move in all sorts of environment. But the problem is that every new device that comes up in the market is using a different protocol. It's using some other type of channel that you need to connect. It comes up with another proprietary API or SDK that you have to write software for to be able to communicate with it. So what we did was we created a framework called Ambient Dynamics that helps you wrap all these proprietary SDKs into dynamic plugins. So also, now you can write plugins for all sorts of things. Like there's an indoor positioning thing. There's external sensors that are deployed anywhere. Then as you saw in the video that we have written a drone plugin that if you send commands, you can send commands to your drone using that. Then there's the Sphero plugin that helps you access data from the Sphero. Then there's an Apple TV plugin that helps you talk to Apple TV and their UBMP devices. So what Dynamics does is that it allows you and gives you a very easy way to actually talk to these devices. Without knowing how exactly you talk to them. Like you don't actually have to get into the specifics of how the Apple TV works or how the Sphero works. Since we try to provide these high level commands that you can send requests to or try to access. And get data back from the devices as well. One of the most interesting parts of Dynamics is that the plugins that we write are actually dynamically deployed to Dynamics. So like once I try to access the Sphero, I just make a request as a website or an Android app that I want to access the Sphero. So give me the access to Sphero. So what it does is that it searches for Sphero in a repository of plugins and then it deploys it dynamically. So anybody who actually wants to be able to use it, you don't actually need to have the plugin redeployed or be a part of the app beforehand. So one of the good things about this is that anybody can write a plugin. And as long as I have the URL to that plugin and I know what the idea of that plugin is, if you want to develop something, you just put that plugin out there and I want to use it. So I just make the request and it will get deployed automatically. I don't have to update the software all over again or try to update the Android application that I have running. So this is kind of like the technical part of it. As a plugin developer or as an application developer, we only need to use the top part of it, the Android application and the web browser part of it. So we have a couple of SDKs. If you want to develop a Python application that uses Dynamics capabilities, we have the Python SDK, if you want to do a website that uses Dynamics capabilities, you can use the Dynamics JavaScript SDKs. And similarly, we have SDKs for you to be able to write Android applications. Now the cool thing about this is that all these different platforms use the same plugin. So even if I want to access this URL on a website, I can just use my Dynamics SDK and I ask for the same thing that I want to use the Sphero, or I want to control the light bulb, or I want to play a music on some sort of Bluetooth speaker. All of this can actually be done through the Dynamics application. So similarly, we have all these, the JavaScript SDK allows you to connect these plugins. One of the things that we had actually developed for one of the demos was that you could go to one of these web pages, give it access of your Facebook albums, and then it retrieves your images. And then from the web page directly, you can start playing these images onto your Apple TV. So you don't actually have to go there, install your software, or try to even find out how I can access or send these images from my Facebook to the Apple TV. Or any other UPNP devices. So these are some of the features of our framework. So Dynamics runs as a lightweight background service. It's not at all heavy. It uses an OSGI mechanism. OSGI is a way of developing plugins that can be deployed on the runtime. It's for native apps and browser based web apps, wife apps. All the data that is actually passed between the application and the framework is a plain old Java object. So you don't need any special sort of dependencies to be able to access it or try to parse it. We also have the plugin Sandbox. So once you write the plugin, you define what sorts of permissions it has. So anybody who, whenever some web app or an Android app actually requests the support for a particular device, Dynamics will pop up and ask you, hey, this particular guy is trying to access your media player. Do you want to allow it? Now that has a couple of options. Like always allow that guy or you can allow it for once or just block him or whatever. And the plugin Sandbox actually helps you maintain that. So how can you actually develop these plugins? So use our SDKs to develop plugins on whatever proprietary devices and software hardware you have. And just put it out there. It's all open source. And adding, requesting support for a particular type is as easy as doing this. You just do Dynamics or add the tech support. This is the, we had a barcode scanner plugin. So what it does is that if you want to be able to scan barcodes, you just do this in your application or in your web page and you get access to that. Now once you allow it, you can make requests to it to scan barcodes. Once you do that, it'll pop over the camera. And what you get as a result will be given back to you in the listener that you provide when you're trying to add the tech support. So this is another plugin that we have written. This uses the light sensor on your phone. So web pages can now generally not be able to access the light sensor, right? For that matter, any other hardware that is available on your device. So you just add support for lots value. And then once the user approves of it, you start getting context events back from the Dynamics application to whatever application that you've written. And now you can use it the way you want. So this is just an image of the Facebook thing that we have developed. There's a share screen button. So once you turn it on, it searches for all the UPNP and Apple Media devices that are around you. And once you do that, you can start. You get a list of all the available devices. Now you select the ones that you want to throw the image to. And once you do that, when you click on the photo, it goes straight to the media render that you have. These are some of the plugins that we have, like step detection, Apple Media, devices covering barcode scanner, power trades, sleep state plugins, speech recognition plugins, all sorts of stuff. Right now we have developed activity recognition plugins. So we have hundreds of plugins right now. We try to get into whatever, as when new devices come into the market, like new IoT devices, like an ARM band. You can see an ARM band that is there right now. So it recognizes all these gestures that you make. Every time you do this, it will tell you that this was done. So we have a plugin that helps you recognize that. And you can start to use these things and interconnect it and try to control mutually incompatible devices seamlessly. It's amazing. There's one more video to finish it off. I'll show you. So what we're going to see in this video is that we started off with tap to interact. So you could tap on things and talk to each other. But it's a little bit difficult because if you have like 15 devices, you're not going to start tapping everything in the room. So what we did was that we developed a framework called ambient flow which is based on ambient dynamics and the plugins. And what it does is that it helps you design your smart space. We use it as a smart space designer. We think that in the future, maybe 10 years down the line or 15 years down the line, there will be people who just have this job of designing your ambient space for you. So this is a demo of that. You can see a video. So we start with a new graph. I want to start with, I want to control something or I want to create a situation where I control, use this variable to do something. So I add this zero plugin on this side. Now this zero plugin has a couple of inputs and a couple of outputs, right? So in this case, it has the collision sensor. Like once you tap on it, it has the IMU values, like the accelerometer values, the pitch your role, and it also has a light inside it. So you can detect that and you can change that color as well. Now what I want to do is I want to control this light bulb from that stereo. So every time I change the orientation of the light bulb, of the stereo, I want the color of the light bulb to change as well. So what I'll do is I take the light bulb from that side, then I add it here, then I drag the output of this guy into the light bulb. Now I save this graph. Now the idea here is that this is a generic graph. Anybody who actually has a stereo and a light bulb can use this. Like just load this graph, scan, there will be a power cord that will pop up, scan on your phone and then it gets automatically deployed in your environment. So what I do now is I scan this power cord which loads the graph on my phone. I can see this parent so that whenever I want to use it again, I can just enter my password. So now this is setting it up. So now as the orientation of the stereo bulb changes, the color changes. Now what I want to do is that I want to have the same color that the light bulb is, be the color of the stereo that I have. So what I do is I take the output of this guy and then drag it back to my stereo. And then I do the same thing, play it on the phone. Now I mean it might not really look like it because the light bulb is super bright, but it actually has the same color. It's getting fed back into the stereo. So now this is a pre-made graph that we had. Like this is what we hope it will be like for ambient designers. That you are trying to have this environment pre-configured by somebody else and then you just come into there and start using it. So in this case, we have a Vivo plug-in which is a motion sensor. We have a stereo plug-in for the bulb. We have the ambient media plug-in. Then we have the light plug-in. And all these are, what you see here are translators. So what these translators do is that they translate the output of one device to another device. I mean because ideally you would not know how to translate IMU data to light color, right? So we have all these translators that can do that for you. So now I play something in the phone and you'll see that the light dims because the movie is playing. The motion sensor is super, super sensitive so it kind of like metals with what we are finally doing. So similarly, you pick up the bulb and then use it as a remote control for the Apple TV. So this was our latest publication that we had. It was called IMU Flow. Check it out on our website or something. Alright, thank you. This was my presentation. Thank you.


I'll do anything for my family. Anything. If you like true revenge stories, you've found the best place for your vengeful needs. If someone hurts your family member or someone you love, it can be worse than bad things happening to you. These are revenge stories from family members, that refuse to turn the other cheek. In this episode, we start off with a loving man that protects his wife with poison, a rage-fueled son made father's murderer go homeless. Supposed by a family that put their focus on a female abuser. Lastly, a group of alcohol-fueled Londoners meet the guy who assaulted one of their kids. Be sure to avenge that like cookie, for Uncle Royal AI. Let's dive in. Naturally, viewer discretion is advised. These revenge acts might be disturbing to snowflakes. This isn't my story, but it's about my father's revenge on my mom's abusive dad. So some details may be a bit off. My parents were born in a rural part of Mexico, in a small town. An important thing to note, is that the area they lived in had a problem with scorpions and the nearest hospital wasn't for a few hours. Life wasn't exactly easy for them. My mom didn't get far in school and neither did my dad. She had to stop after sixth grade, while my dad didn't finish fourth grade of elementary school. Trying to find any sort of work to help support the family made life tough. My mom grew up with a strict set of parents and her dad was prone to violent outburst, while her mom was emotionally and sometimes physically abusive.  My parents met one night when they were about 15 years old, and from what my mom said, they hit off right away. Nothing romantic, but they quickly became great friends. My dad's mom doted on my mom and saw her as her own. But for some reason, my dad was never invited to her parents' house.  There were times where my dad saw something was wrong, simply because of how she walked and how she started to flinch with the tiniest touch. She also never had him visit her house and would spend a lot of time at his. Pretty soon they officially started dating. One day my mom's mother simply disappeared with no explanation. This caused her dad to become even more abusive. She endured all of this because she simply couldn't leave him. Until when she was 18 years old, she discovered she was pregnant with me. When she told her dad, he slapped her across the face, got his belt and brutally assaulted her while calling her all sorts of names. She managed to get out before anything worse happened. She ran to my dad's house, where she explained everything to him. How her life had been total hell for such a long time and how she was pregnant. He knew right then and there, he had to get revenge for all the years of abuse she endured. He thought that simply turning the other cheek to him wouldn't be enough, he had to make sure he was taken care of for good. My dad knew many people who worked with getting rid of scorpions, and which ones would be the most dangerous and lethal. He went looking and found a few with the highest chance of lethality. The following day, he was able to sneak into my mom's house and put the scorpions underneath the abusive dad's bed covers and went home. The following day, my mom went to his house with my dad as her security. But they found him dead in his bed. She was horrified and shocked, my dad pretended to be shocked too. They got married soon after I was born. They moved to the States after applying and getting accepted for a work visa. He kept this secret for many years, and when he finally told her, she was both upset and happy. He was just glad she finally told him everything that won fateful night, that changed both their lives. This story is about my dad, an honest man, who worked tirelessly to provide for me and my family. Although he worked outrageous shifts, he never complained or said anything in front of me or the rest of the family. He is, or rather was a truck driver. Last summer I had the chance to go with him to his work and see how things worked, during that period we got increasingly closer. He would drive for up to 16 hours straight and when I'd ask him to take a break, he'd always tell me he couldn't. It often got to the point where he would doze off while still driving and I'd wake him up before anything bad happened. After about a month of going to work with him, he finally confessed to me why he couldn't stop driving before arriving at his destination. The reason was that if he stopped he'd get fired. I told him that this was illegal and that he should go to the police with proof. You see, his boss had told him that if he ever went to the police, he'd not only fire him, but he'd also make sure he'd never find another job. I was shocked. I asked him if he'd rather die than providing for us. His eyes started to tear up. My dad, the man I'd never seen crying before, started crying like a little baby saying how much he loved us all and how he couldn't stop working. I understood where he was coming from, his main goal was to provide and the only way he knew how, was this job, so I told him to at least be careful. It was three months ago, when I got a call from our local police department notifying me of my dad's passing. He drove right into a steel barrier and died instantly. I was furious. This piece of filth was threatening my dad resulting to his death and now he was going to get away with it? I couldn't think straight for a week. Then it came to me. You see, truck drivers have time cards with their names on them, something like IDs, and I remembered full well that my dad had two. You were only allowed to have one. When you drove for up to four hours with one time card plugged in and you didn't take a break, the time card would save this in its memory as a violation. If the police stopped you and checked the card, you'd be screwed. His boss made him use two cards, one for himself and one that was the bosses, so he could drive without taking these breaks. I thought that if I sued my father's boss for intolerable working conditions, workplace harassment, violating the law, violation of labor rights and more, I would have the proof to have a case. And I was correct. The trial was extremely short. I had a good lawyer that collected the evidence we needed to make a case, and last Thursday my father's boss was found guilty of five out of seven charges he was facing. My family got $5 million in compensation and yesterday I found out that the boss lost his house and his wife left him. Although we got the money, I still believe that my father died for nothing. I didn't get the closure I was craving for but at least my family won't be hungry. I love you dad. My story begins with Olivia. I've known her for a long time. Since sixth grade to adolescence. We've always been good friends and are the kind of friends that flirt with each other for fun, but not past that. We lost contact after high school. Which was a few months ago. I bumped into her at the local big box store. We talked for a bit and we swapped numbers so we could hang out.  So Rusty and my brother knew each other and would hang out together. Rusty starts telling my brother how he's sleeping with this girl and he's basically using her for a place to stay for a few days, until he gets his own place. While he was showing my brother some grotesque pictures of her at work, my brother knew who it was right away. He asked Rusty to forward him the pics, of course he obliged. My brother sent me the pics and told me how he got them. I made sure to call Olivia and told her to come over and that we needed to have a talk about something important. About 45 minutes later Olivia gets to my house, she finds me in an angry state and asks what happened. I didn't dance around it and showed her the pictures right away. I told her Rusty works with my brother and he sent them to him, while bragging that he was using her for a place to live. Quick side note I forgot to mention, Olivia is a spitfire when you're cross her. So she gets mad and calls Rusty immediately. She goes all out screaming over the phone for 45 straight minutes. Rusty fails to realize that the store he works at, has super HD cameras facing the counters because it's been robbed 9 times. So I call the store's manager, and tell her that Rusty is showing not safe for work pictures to employees and possibly customers as well. The manager pulls the camera footage from the time in question, and can clearly see Rusty showing pictures to other employees. She also saw him watching adult material during his shift.  He's now one foot out the door and about to be two out. The state has also been investigating the $300 missing scratch tickets from the store. They came down on him as well for unlawful distribution of adult media. The real revenge didn't even start yet. Olivia wanted her share of the pie. She wanted to let him hang a bit in desperation and doubt for a few days, before telling him it was over and dumped him. He didn't take too kindly to this and started threatening her. My dad is the owner of a local transport business. They do cabs, limos and more. During a conversation with him, I tell him about the situation with Olivia and that Rusty threatened her. Most of the employees at the station have met Olivia, and they all really liked her. My dad was already planning on offering her a job before all this. He recalls Rusty and know he uses their cab service regularly. Well, Rusty called to get a cab to Olivia's apartment like he did every weekend. While I took the cab and picked Rusty up, I told him we had to swing by the cab station, because I left my phone there. We pull up and I walk in. Olivia was waiting at the station and I tell her he's in the cab. Dad comes out from the back and sees him in the cab. He goes to his computer and uses the remote for the cab and shuts it down.  Rusty goes inside and sees Olivia sitting at my desk, with a dozen roses on top and a big card that says love you. I actually bought them for my grandma, because she was almost back from a trip to South America. Rusty saw her, immediately flipped out and lunged at Olivia. Big mistake. My dad is about 6 feet 6 inches and 315 pounds of muscle. Rusty grabbed Olivia by the neck and before he knew what happened. Dad had his booty on the floor and pinned him down. Another cab driver, we call the godfather, because he has the Bronx accent, picks Rusty up and pulls him outside and tied him to the pole by the building. This pole is right next to the sprinkler system for the lawn. I turned it on full blast and left Rusty there, until the cops came to get him. Now 95% of the cops in our town know my family, as this is a rather small town and we all get along great. The footage of him being tied to a pole mysteriously disappeared from the evidence lockers after that night. He was released on bond and had to go to court. There was a thunderstorm that day and he doesn't want to walk 8 miles. I still don't understand why he did this, instead of asking someone else to drive him. But he actually called my dad's cab company to get a ride to the courthouse. Big mistake. The driver drove extra careful, because the roads were flooded by 4 inches of rain and visibility was low due to fog. Rusty was 45 minutes late to his hearing and was held in contempt of court, plus got charged with assault, trespassing and possession, because he had cocaine on him. Let's say the judge threw the book at him. He gave him 10 years, but would reduce it to 5 if he told authorities who his dealer was. Rusty tried to blame me, but it didn't go over well so he came clean and got 5 years. From what I've heard from my buddy, who's a guard, Rusty spent the first two weeks of his 5 years in the hospital, because he got into a fight and lost. He was put into the cell with a guy, that was known for beating the dutu out of guys who abuse women and children.  Word travels fast and poor Rusty found out just how bad it can be. This happened 2-3 months ago, so there are some limited details. My dad has earned a lot of respect in our local area, as he will always help his friends with anything they need. Without exaggeration, there is a fairly large number of regulars at our local pub that would happily do the same for him. And I mean it in a sense that they some would even risk prison time to look after my parent, my sister and me. Anyways, I do a lot of walking when I'm home and at university. So this day, I was walking through our local park at home and I noticed someone following me. Basically, I'm more or less bricking it as I'm not willing to get my phone out, in case he takes it and I'm in the least populated area of the park. I was sure we were the only two people. I decide to speed up even more, so that hopefully more people will act as a deterrent to get this guy of my back. The guy reacts by starting to yell at me, saying he needs help as his brother got stabbed. The strange thing is that he was talking perfectly calm and relaxed and prior to him following me into a secluded area. I saw him chatting casually with someone. He started to catch up and I told him to leave me alone. He said nothing. He immediately kicked me, trying to sweep my legs away, making me land with my full weight on my left knee. I get this adrenaline rush and got up, because I didn't want to be kicked to a pulp. Far away, I noticed a man walking his dog entering this area of the park and instinctively ran towards him for safety. The man attacking me saw this and fled the scene. The dog walker allowed me to get to the cafe, where I called my sister. She and my mom came to pick me up from there and took me home. After this whole ordeal, my knee was extremely painful. I also put an ice pack on my ankle, because him booting it as hard as he could made it bend wrong. Luckily I didn't break anything. Anyways, my mom called my dad who was at the pub with his mates, the ones who are willing to do anything to keep my sister and I safe. My mom relayed a very basic description for me to him and not so long after he was home due to worry. My ankle kept seizing up by sitting on the sofa, at this point it seizing up was more painful than standing, so I got up and decided to help my mom with dinner and make myself useful. While helping, I went to get something from the second fridge in the garage and my dad pulled me aside and said that his friends had caught up to the guy that did it and got revenge for me. Apparently, my dad and his mates went to the park, walking around, looking for the man who fit the description. They found this guy and asked him if he had gotten into an altercation with someone in the park. He said yes. Before he could say more, they threw him to the ground, and started specifically stomping on both his hands. Smashing them to a pulp. They also took his phone and earphones and threw them down the drain. Every time I walked through that park, especially that bit where it happened, I get irrationally nervous and pay extreme amounts of attention to everyone I see. I never saw him again though. I have also been left with a knee that hurts every now and then if I accidentally bend it in certain ways. But that's okay, I just need more rest stops when walking long distances. Moral of this story, don't try to mug people, if you don't think you can deal with a group of alcohol fueled Londoners, who are protective of your victim and his family.

You just watched Starbucks employees in Buffalo, New York react to news that they had successfully voted to form the first union in Starbucks's history, which is just crazy considering that that was now more than a year ago. But they've come a long way since the first store voted to unionize back on December 9th of 2021, and Matt Brunig of the People's Policy Project puts it all into perspective because when you step back and look at how many unions have formed since then, it is truly mind-blowing. He explains on December 9th of 2021, 19 Starbucks workers in Buffalo voted to unionize with Starbucks Workers United, an SEIU-affiliated union for Starbucks workers. In the next 365 days, 3,626 more Starbucks workers joined with the initial 19, resulting in 267 unionized Starbucks stores covering around 6,951 Starbucks employees. The speed and success of the Starbucks unionization campaign had been astonishing. Last year, the Starbucks campaigners unionized a new store every 1.3 days. Over this period, the Starbucks union had accounted for 21% of all NLRB election victories. Now he provided us with some graphics that really put into perspective how far they've come. There's been over 350 union election filings since August of 2021, and the win rate at least since mid-July has not fallen below 50%, which is insane. Now as workers are more successful, Starbucks is expectedly pushing back, thus leading to nearly 550 unfair labor practice violations being filed against the company since January of 2022. Now their success alone is impressive. Organizing a new store every 1.3 days is no small feat, but think about how difficult this was considering how hostile the company was towards these employees who were caught engaging in union activity. For example, Reuters reported in August that two stores that were set to hold union elections, one in Kansas City, Missouri and one in Seattle, Washington, were both shut down. Quote, Starbucks has closed 19 stores in the past few months, 42% of which had union activity, the union said. So you can't definitively attribute those store closures to union busting, but it is a little sus given that that Kansas City store was the second busiest in the area. Now Howard Schultz maintains that, oh well, some of these stores that are profitable and busy, we have to close them for security reasons. Okay, but since when has any company in the United States ever cared about the safety of their workers, ever cared about security, when they're making a lot of money, I mean the bottom line is increased profits, maximize shareholder value. So I just, I'm sorry, I don't buy that excuse from this company, but closing down stores isn't the only union busting tactic that Starbucks had engaged in because they also fired employees that were organizing unions at their stores. And the company was so brazen in their retaliation that a federal judge in Tennessee ordered the company to rehire seven employees that were fired at a location in Memphis after they were fired just for talking to media about organizing efforts, it's genuinely unhinged. But I mean, we're barely even scratching the surface. On October 12th, Seattle Times reported, Starbucks violated federal law in Kansas and Missouri by firing pro-union employees stepping up enforcement of its stress code in response to union organizing and asking for police to disperse workers with picket signs. And in total, Starbucks workers United claims that the company has fired 80 employees in total for organizing unions. Now that's not the only tactics, of course, that they're engaging in, closing stores, firing employees. These are things that you expect, but the company is so desperate that they created new benefits for employees and they specifically excluded union workers to send this message to anyone else who's going to vote to form a union. Hey, if you want these new benefits, then vote against that union. Otherwise, you're going to lose these benefits. It's just it's insane to me. And they're so brazen in their illegal union busting that the National Labor Relations Board demanded that Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz apologize to workers on video while explaining their rights as workers to them. But don't take it from me. Take it from the workers themselves. We're going to hear from the workers at a Memphis store who were organizing the union. And these are all of the things that Starbucks did to punish them for engaging in union activity. Corporate and our district manager and store manager have been trying to stop our pro union protests. They've been trying to come in and intimidate us. So right now we have an interim store manager. And now she's bringing in all of her managers and all of her employees to our store and they're deliberately taking our hours. I went from working thirty five to thirty nine hours a week down to twenty six hours. And then I got benefits taken away. We're supposed to get a mark out. It's like a free drink, a free food item. Those were taken away from us. So we weren't even allowed to get markouts, like go to other stores and get markouts and stuff. And for some people, that's a whole meal that they rely on. There are some people who go to Starbucks to get that lunch item that they need because they can't afford specific things. They've been pulling policies out of a hat that we never heard of to try to intimidate us. It's not really stopping anything. It's actually putting fuel to the fire. That's how desperate they are to crush these unions. And that store in particular ended up closing down for a couple of days to stop the momentum that the employees were gaining. So when they knew that the media would come out to speak to these employees and picketers would show up, they just closed down the store. What was their excuse? Well, they said, oh, well, there was a covid outbreak, but the protocol before was not to shut down when somebody tested positive for covid. So they're grasping at straws to try to find ways to justify their union busting activity, but it's just union busting. Now, if that wasn't already incriminating enough, the company is also illegally stalling union negotiations because, of course, they are. This video was posted on September 19th by a more perfect union. And they kind of explained the situation here. It's like pulling teeth, trying to get anything from this company right now. Starbucks claims to be negotiating in good faith. We're committed to respecting the NLRB process. And we are now and will continue to bargain in good faith. The actuality is that we've only had a couple of bargaining sessions with two or three stores out of the over 230 unionized locations. What we've seen from the Starbucks representatives who have come to the table is indignant rage at the mere suggestion that somebody else would have any say in how even the most minor thing is done at the company. They don't want to hear workers talking about where the cake pops should go, let alone what their 401k should be or what health care benefits should be. And we have to demonstrate to our people they can trust us and we have to show up. Could you ever see doing that and embracing the union as part of it? No. Is that so? Well, too bad, Howard Schultz. So listen, despite all of this. These employees are winning. They're winning the battle at this rate. They may have every single Starbucks store unionized in just a couple of years. I mean, when you are able to organize a new store and vote to form a union successfully every 1.3 days, the momentum is not going to slow down. It's only going to speed up. So I wanted to share this story because oftentimes I talk about really negative things that make us feel hopeless and doomer. But this labor story really should give us a lot of optimism because think about this just a little more than a year ago, the first Starbucks store voted to form a union. And now look at how that effort has taken off in this country. Labor power is on the rise, and this is the one thing that I think is going to change this country for the better. Government very clearly is not a good tool for social change or economic change. And corporations can't be expected to do the right thing. And no, billionaires aren't going to save us. If there's going to be changes, it's going to come from the bottom up, not the top down and to see the ways in which these workers have overcome union busting and formed hundreds of unions within a single year. If that doesn't give you hope, then nothing will. So learn from these Starbucks employees and organize your own workplace, but understand what you're getting yourself into, know your rights and make sure that you have solidarity above all with these workers. Now, if you are going to purchase some gift cards for your family members this year, do not buy Starbucks gift cards. They're encouraging people to avoid gift cards and when you see a store organizing a union, don't cross that picket line. That's the one thing that you can do. Boycotts are very difficult in a capitalist system, but the one small thing that you can do to stand in solidarity with these workers is simply not cross the picket line. Don't buy gift cards this year and don't shop at a location that is trying to form a union. Take use from workers, talk to them and they'll they'll fill you in on what's going on. But either way, this is a really feel good story that I wanted to share and I appreciate Matt Brunig kind of putting it all into perspective for us.


This is an update on PCORI, as you know, a non-governmental agency created by the funding agency, research funding agency, created by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. From that legislation, you'll see that we have a broad mandate and it's about supporting decision-making. So it's to assist patients, clinicians, purchasers, and policymakers in making informed health decisions. So that implies that one has a choice to do something or not to do it or to do this versus that. And we do it through funding research, including evidence synthesis, and we also do it through dissemination of research findings. So that's kind of our, that's about as specific as the legislation gets. We could do research in any area where arguably there are choices to be made. But I'll show you one piece of evidence that explains maybe why I thought I'd be here. Research shall be designed as appropriate to take into account the potential for differences in effectiveness of health care treatment, services, and items as used with various subpopulations. And I, for this meeting, I also highlighted the part, one of the ways that patient populations and subpopulation differ is genetic and molecular subtypes. So right in our legislation is the notion that we should be attending to that. So I always expected that we would. PCORI, Board of Governors, was also mandated to come up with its national priorities for research. And these are they. And again, you see the first one is assessment of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment options. And I can't really see the screen from here, but I know that it says something about their potential differences in response to therapy in patient subgroups and studies of patient preferences for various outcomes. So again, it seems like it has high relevance. But some of the other priorities also improving health care systems in the way that we support patients in doing self-care. And coordinate care and evaluate decision-making by patients. Communication and dissemination research, the ways that information is shared between patients and clinicians and systems and shared decision-making is supported. And then addressing disparities. So you'll see that all four of those first four of the five priorities, you can build a case that research into genomic medicine could fit different aspects of it could fit in those. I'll tell you a secret. Everybody else with their research interests sees the same thing. But nonetheless, that's part of being broad. And the fifth one is you may know the fifth one is about building infrastructure for doing comparative effectiveness research. And you may know that we have a very large initiative on the street right now, $70 million in total. And it encourages people to build system-based clinical data research networks that have, among other things, patient and clinician and system involvement in governance and the building of large clinical data repositories along with patient-reported data and but certainly including biospecimens in the mix of data. So all five of the priorities seem to hold some promise for supporting research in the area of genetic medicine. We, unlike many entities these days in D.C., we actually do have money to spend. This is how much flows into the PCORI trust fund each year. And you see in 2013, $300 million flows into the trust fund in beginning in 2014, $500 million. 20% of that comes off the top and goes back to HHS. But that leaves 80% that PCORI itself allocates. And we are front-loading that funding. So we aim to commit about $350 million this year and about $500 million in each of the next two years. And these are the requirements we make of applicants. That, in fact, the research that you're proposing addresses a question that's relevant to choices faced by patients, clinicians, it should say policymakers, and that it considers patient-relevant outcomes. So we put a lot of stock in. Patients should be engaged as you formulate your research question and should endorse the outcomes that you're studying. So that does suggest that we want outcomes that patients would resonate with, would say are relevant. The studies indeed do need to be comparative. We're called upon to do comparative clinical effectiveness research. I think you had a little discussion this morning about cost-effectiveness research, and we do not do cost-effectiveness research. We tend to not measure qualities, and we certainly don't make or recommend decisions about coverage on the basis of anything like qualities, but we absolutely do fund and really only fund comparative clinical effectiveness research with the patient-relevant outcomes. We, the research, any research that comes to us has to speak to the possibility and ask the state how they will look, in fact, for possible differences in treatment effectiveness across population subgroups. We look for research in real-world populations in relevant patients, including patients with multiple comorbid conditions, and we insist that they include relevant patients and stakeholders on the research team. So this is something that's driven researchers a little crazy, just figuring, especially seasoned researchers. New researchers have no trouble figuring out how to do it, because it's the first time they're putting teams together. But people who've been doing research, NIH, ARC-funded research, for a long time pause when it comes to the part of the application guidelines about be sure that you've got patients and other relevant stakeholders, not as the subjects of your research, but on your research team. Be sure and discuss in your research application the potential for dissemination and implementation, and don't include, in fact, cost-effectiveness analysis, and don't really compare overall costs either. And this is just our working definition of comparative clinical effectiveness research. It's pretty much what I just showed you, but maybe a difference or two. That addresses practical questions, those of interest to patients and providers in particular, but policymakers too. Usually we're looking for head-to-head comparisons, but in this context here, it might be a comparison between doing genetic testing prior to making a treatment assignment and not doing it. It's conducted in typical patients and typical care delivery systems. That's the kind of research we're looking for. Considering the full range of outcomes of interest to patients, looking for the differences in treatment effectiveness. They may be RCTs, they may be observational studies. So I will just say in closing that we have funded about $150 million in research already. We have standing announcements that are open. These are broad announcements to which we would be delighted to see submissions around questions related to genetic medicine. And we also have now built a set of four advisory panels that advise us and help us prioritize questions that we would then target research in. We would devote more research, more resources to a particular area. So we could have a discussion about the fact that we ought to have a specific initiative in genetic medicine. If people felt that that was, that the time was ripe for that. But we are, you will see over time that PCORI will move from being almost exclusively a funder that funds, that issues broad solicitations. Program announcements that solicit R01s, for example, toward an agency that has a good part of its portfolio dedicated to targeted areas. And one of them most certainly could be around genetic medicine. So I think I've said enough and I will stop and entertain questions. Thank you very much, Joe. Yes, Mark. So, Joe, there's one thing that you didn't specifically mention that it's probably worth bringing to this group. And that is the specific call out for a rare disease focus as well. And I wonder if you could expand a bit on that and how that's being implemented by PCORI. Thanks, Mark. The legislation also, the legislation has a lot of language in it. Just a very small piece of the phrase, a sentence. But patients with rare diseases are specifically called out in the legislation. And so we call them out in our announcements. We are very interested in studies and we would prioritize a study somewhat higher if it addressed a relevant question and it competed well in the reviews for patients with a rare disease. We also similarly in our infrastructure award, we have a certain amount of that money set aside for patient powered networks. And those we particularly interested in seeing patient organizations, patient communities with rare diseases apply. So yes, and I think again in the context of this group, that's a very relevant point to be aware of. Joe, I wonder if you could comment a bit about, you mentioned that genomic medicine might be a topic that PCORI would pursue. You're probably closer in touch with what patients are interested in than many of us are. Are you hearing from patients that this is an area of interest to them? No, Terry, I can't say that we have yet, no. There's something about the way that you bring patients together that I'm not sure, but it may not set it up for that. Patients often come in and they're patient with multiple conditions and they may be talking more about access or communication. I can't say that I've heard it. I'm sure prepared to believe that there are patient organizations out there that could put that question in that case to us, but I have not heard it yet. Because one could imagine that if it's only those that are the most active or loudest voices that are getting to you, that's obviously a problem as well. And clearly the people that we hear from think this is great, but we don't. You should tell your people to talk to ours. No, we do have, among other things, a website where patients can submit questions. And they haven't been brought to my attention. I have not seen an application specifically about, particularly genetic testing, yet come to our in response to our broad solicitations. I will say just for those of you who work in the grant writing and in the world that the announcements right now are typically invite proposals that cost up to about 1.5 million in direct costs and last for three years. So it's about a half a million a year for three years. We have some, certainly we have some flexibility to make things shorter. We're sometimes open to making things longer. We do like studies that promise some results in the fairly near term. There's at least one in the next round. Good, good. Mark is distinguishing himself among other ways by being one of our committee chairs in our review sections and we're very grateful for that. It's another way that researchers could work with us, in fact, is to let us know you'd be interested in helping us review. Yes. So one of the things I'm interested in is you've indicated that you're intending to move from a more broad investigator initiated, take all comers kind of approach to a more targeted approach and you alluded to some committees that were helping advise you on that. Can you talk a little bit more about that process and how long you imagine that transition would take? And in particular, I'd be interested in, we have a lot of genomic people that are interested in genomic medicine from a variety of perspectives in this room and one of the things we're thinking about is whether we need some kind of coordinated national policy. And so how might that feed into that process as well? Well, let me say this, you can go to our website and in fact find out exactly who sits on these four advisory panels, pretty impressive collections each of the panels. What they do is we receive input suggestions for research questions from a variety of sources. We receive them via the web. We receive them via interactions with professional societies, patient organizations, payers and we have program directors assigned, scientists within PCORI assigned to each of the priority areas and they process these and there's a process of shrinking them down to the ones that are really comparative, removing the redundancies and then doing some preliminary landscape assessment to see which ones really aren't already known, which ones have some likelihood of benefiting from some primary research and then we prepare topic briefs on those and these topic briefs go to the prioritization, the advisory panels which do prioritization and they have very robust discussions. I think over time you will see the advisory panels bringing questions directly to us. I think you'll see our scientists, our program leaders bringing questions to us, to the advisory panel. So they then submit the questions to the board. The board may say do a little more investigation but ultimately the board then approves those topic areas that we move forward with explicit announcements on. It's known that we have an announcement coming out shortly on the treatment of severe asthma in minority populations and we have one coming out on the prevention of falls in the elderly and probably likely one coming out on treatment options for uterine fibroids. So those are those are three areas that the three of our very first targeted areas. Reason I ask about this, one of the things I was really struck by is as you went through some of your earlier slides it really talked a lot about how to identify subpopulations and I think Dan Rodin was talking earlier today about the warfarin work where it may only benefit 20% of those people but for those 22% of those people but for those 2% it makes a huge difference. So I mean is that the kind of thing comparing those that subpopulation to the subpopulation, the broader population at large where that signal might very likely get swamped out? Yeah, I would say that's precisely why the legislation emphasized it and it's certainly why we emphasize it, the vision and genetic medicine fits right into this vision. I think that over time you begin targeting particular therapies toward that subgroup that really stands to benefit and you find something else for the subgroup that doesn't. So that notion is really that's a notion that's pretty widespread in the legislation. I think it was maybe in some ways put in there as an antidote to any simplistic view that comparative effectiveness research was just about comparing means, finding no difference, paying for the cheaper one and not covering the more expensive one. So between you and me and all of you I think that's kind of how the language got in there but it's quite exciting language. I'm sure you would agree that the vision that one person with diabetes is not like everybody else with diabetes and treatments may really, we know that treatments do work differently so that vision of eventually getting the right medication to the right person is kind of a mantra, the right treatment. And it works just as well in system interventions as it does with medications too. System interventions don't work the same for everyone either so. Great. All right. Thank you very much. Joe, I hope you can stay with us for the rest of the afternoon. Next we have Wayne Currie who will be speaking for the CDC but also wears a hat at the NCI and so you can get a little bit of both of those.
