Good morning everybody. Okay, it's good the system. Can you hear everybody? Yeah, so good morning esteemed guests, speakers and attendees. My name is Miguel Alexandre Barrero. I am the moderator of this event. This is an event of the International Atomic Energy Agency within the Blue Pavilion, and we will discuss about the significance of nuclear technologies and techniques in climate adaptation process with a specific focus on agriculture, food security, water management and livestock. We have as a panelist, Dr. Najak Morte, that is the Deputy Director General and the head of the Department of Nuclear Science and Applications at the IAEA. We have Dr. Sami Likbal, the Vice President of Finance at the Islamic Development Bank. We have Dr. Christopher Mueller, Professor of Experimental Plant Ecology at the University of Jesen and Professor of Soil Science at the University College of Dublin. We have Martin Croves, Director in Technical Cooperation Department at the International Atomic Energy Agency. We had also as a participant, Elizabeth Kourmi, Director of Heads of Finance, Climate and Energy Transition of City Global Insights of City Group, but unfortunately, I mean, we all are aware about the logistics. That's our not ideal and she couldn't make it. So, in order to embrace the discussion that is going to be a Davos-style event where we all the panelists will engage in a discussion with the specific questions that will be raised by me or even colleagues from the audience at the end of the event. Let's start with our opening remarks from Dr. Najak Morte, Deputy Director General of the IAEA. Thank you very much. So that this works, it does, good. And very good morning to all of you and welcome our distinguished guests here, panelists, very honoured to be with you. I think we are in pavilion of energy and finance so one wonder why we're talking about food and where we're talking about water and this is the dilemma that we at the IAEA were experiencing. When we talk about IAEA, we don't think about nuclear technology and what nuclear technology can offer to also contribute to the challenges we globally we are all facing.  If we tackle climate change, we should also take tackle it from food and agriculture side because we know that is the second contributor to CO2 and to the greenhouse gases. And so we need also then to look at solutions then because we have more than 800 million people there they go to bed hungry. So we need to find food for two feet people and at the same time save our planet. And I think there is no brainer we need to find the science and technology is the solution. And science and technology to find to really harness the soil because now we are facing drought we are facing flooding to really harness the to find varieties of crops that they are also strong and they are we have new diseases we are we they can stand also the heat or they can stand the floating high yield and also water I'm coming from African countries where water is a big issue just near my place we used to have a nice lake now that lake does not exist anymore, which put pressure on the underground water. So which means we are now surface water with being gone. We are now looking at underground water which we don't see, and we are pumping. So we don't know when we won't have any water anymore and we all see that there are regions without water. And this is where nuclear technology comes in. Because that technology has the power. It's technology, it's data, it's science and this is what we need. We need the information where is the water for example how much is in there. We need science to to really find a plant that generate that genetic that genes that we can also see. Okay, this is the variety that they can stand the heat this is the variety with high yield. We need science also to look at soil moisture which I think colleagues here will talk about it. So once we have this data. And we have this information and we have these varieties science we have these results, we need to move and transfer it to the to the farmers to the people. And, and the science is with the academia, transfer it to the people is organizations like us with the FAO. And the good thing is that we are teaming up with FAO, we are having joint program, and we are launching joint initiatives like Atom for food. That's yesterday, but our director general, the grocery and don't queue have also mentioned about atoms for food, we are scaling up the data, the proof of concept that we came up with to together to countries really to ensure food security while dealing with climate change to the same time to do that scaling up is big word it's nice, but we need funding, and here is when I'm looking at my here next to me that we need also funding that's used wisely and used in way to decision results oriented action oriented. And here where I think us as organization, we are not, we are not policy organization where technical where action, we have proof of concept we can show that we can do things with countries we can, we can, we can we have already results and proof of concepts so we can show at country level, look in Pakistan, for example, we have done, we have come up with these varieties of crops, including cotton, which is very successful story that contributed to the economy of the country, and where we have a policy of cotton that is stand disease stand heat and high yield in in in China we contributed to rice security in many countries in Africa contributed also to a new varieties. We're talking about hundreds of varieties, but now we need to work with trees to steal up, move this up positive in praying people, and this, I think we cannot do it alone. We have a partner with academia with finance institutions with other you an organization, and I think here where we are is the platform where we need to talk to each other to see how we can work together, because the stick ahead of us the challenge ahead of us is so big that one alone we cannot, we cannot tackle it. I stop here, be happy to contribute to the discussion. Thank you. Thank you very much for those insightful opening remarks. I think that this in a way frame the importance of the agency work in climate adaptation. And also your perspective. It creates a solid foundation for the discussion today. So, without further meditation, I'm moving to our other panelists, because we're going to bring now on on these dialogue, a different perspective from from different organizations, academia and operational actions. So, I would like to give the floor now to our steam representative from the Islamic Development Bank, but perhaps with a question to, to introduce your participation in this dialogue. How, if you could elaborate the role of development organizations and financial institutions and I here I guess, as an example, we can bring the Islamic Development Bank in supporting global research and innovation for food security. And also connected to that question is how does the Islamic Development Bank, for example, contributing a scaling up sustainable financing for food security transformation for food system transformation. So, over to you and thank you so much and good morning everyone is indeed in order to be with such a distinguished panelist. Maybe I'll take your first question first about our own organization. You know, you may not have heard much about Islamic Development Bank, but we are 57 member countries, and next we will be celebrating our 50th anniversary. So we have been involved, engaged with the development arena for almost 50 years. And that gives us a very rich local knowledge of our 57 member countries, and many of our member countries have a very rich agriculture sector. So we have quite a bit knowledge, if you can say in that arena. Now, however, over a period of time and on again unfortunately given the challenges imposed by the climate. Very kind of a sad to share with you that out of 57 member countries, 31 member countries are considered as a very agile countries, which mean they're already very vulnerable. And if something happens, they will be become into a much more serious challenges and issues. And that's what we saw with the recent food security issue which happened after the Ukraine and Russian crisis. And many of our member countries, you know, they were all have to have to face these sudden challenge. Now, unfortunately, out of that 57 member countries, 29 member countries are either recipient, which means they're the least developed countries, which means that they do not have a very good infrastructure. They do not have means they cannot even borrow funds on a on a commercial basis. So they need conceptual financing. So I think main kind of one of the things which approach we are taking, although I think as our colleagues said that we need to coordinate better. And I think we as MDBs, all the multi letter development bank, whether it's Islamic development bank or the World Bank, Asian Bank, we are all realizing this thing that our own resources are also limited. We also realize that we should need to not replicate what everyone is doing in a solo kind of a style. So there's a big kind of a drive towards having much more coordinated action by all the MDBs together. So that's I think is a positive development. So what we are doing basically is developing forging partnerships with many of the leading development partners, whether it's IAEA or whether it is other MDBs or whether it is any other foundations, like for example, we have a very good cooperation with Gates Foundation and we have launched a program called Live and Livelihood Fund LLF, which has been successful. So in that sense, we believe that we can do financing alone cannot help. So financing again, we have two issues. One is that financing alone cannot help. There's not enough financing. MDBs cannot do it alone. So therefore we need to do have partnerships. Okay. So that is a given. And that's what we would like to do. The second thing is, how do we do it? And what do we do it? I think one of the things which we believe that agriculture, we need to change this attitude of agriculture as a way of life and changing that to more agriculture as sustainable business enterprise, make it make it more on a scientific kind of a lines. And maybe that includes we are also working on a some sort of analysis where we could offer these Islamic insurance to state to small farm holders. So they can be have some develop some resilience against any unexpected you know, mishap. Yeah, of course. So from that, that's basically we're also again what our strategy is or our our view is that we want to establish climate smart agriculture practices. We want to develop sustainable land management practices. And we want to enhance the food production system. So that's what our strategy is, but we do not want cannot do it alone. We want to do it with others. And I think in all of this aspect, we are much more cautious. This is part of a new strategy that we want to make sure that the farmers welfare is given a priority. One of our part of strategy is human development and that form of it we want to make sure that the farmers well being social being is all taken very, very taken very care. Now, do you want me to go over the next part or continue fine. Now, how we do or what we do. I think that's the thing. For example, recently, the wind. Since last year we had issue in four security food security in many our country. So we Islamic development bank with our entities and with our partners, especially like Arab coordination group or so we launched a basically program of almost 11 billion US dollars. That 11 billion US dollar wall is being used for the programs to revive the agriculture sector, revive the new technologies, new techniques, and that we call it the food security response program. And that has been quite successful in that sense. So we did have a respond very quickly we as soon as this thing happened we immediately came into our. Another thing which I want to bring to your attention that our shareholding Islamic Bank is a bit unique compared with other MDPs our stake shareholding is all South to South. We do not have any of the big G seven and all these other so our agenda is not driven by any of those major economies, we are South to South and we have one program called South to South cooperation we call it a reverse linkages. We believe that those countries in the in the South who have gained experience, they can transfer that experience to other shallow countries within the South, rather than have any dependency on someone else. So that program is very successful we give technical assistance grants concessional landing under that program, and even one South country may give messy building and knowledge transfer to other South countries. So I think that's quite a bit our other thing what we when we did recently we did our because we had a covert and then we had this food security issue, we looked at our strategy and we revise our strategy. Now going forward, our emphasis is going to be building infrastructure, but which is also resilient and green. This is not an easy task, but again, that is at least our approach is that we want to build resilient and sustainable and green infrastructure. Part of that is human capital development, and since many of our countries are agro basic economies, we need to go and thinking of helping them, how we can help them to them with this you talked about science technology. We have a separate a dedicated team called on SDI science technology and innovation, which basically tries to engage with the researchers engage with the knowledge producers and so forth and try to see what we could do in this particular arena. So we do recognize that we need to scale our engagement in the great culture sector. We also want we we also realize that we want to make sure that we use technology to make the crops more resistant to crops and any other thing I mean many of our countries, you know, are hit by this climate. Unfortunate events, flooding in Pakistan and Libya and other countries, we had this quite a bit damaging. Now, yesterday I heard from two of our new countries, one from Somalia and one from Iraq, they were telling that how in their country, they are devastated by this climate change, and that has ruined their agriculture. And the livelihood of people that in Somalia they were saying is that because of the day in 48 hours, they got three times their annual rainfall, and that brought so much flooding and destroyed the livelihood. I mean, the animals and all, and that has kind of kind of impacted the people so in that sense when we hear these stories. Of course, then we go out and we try to help them as much as, and maybe I will try to kind of a conclude by saying, in all this thing, we are very cautious, we want to make sure that we work on any of the food system transformation, we make sure that we give priority to woman empowerment. We want to make sure that that's, you know, in terms of these empowerment, they have, we have a certain gender responsive policies, ensuring that women have equal access to the resources land ownership and see and making and so forth. So, I think I will say that as a South to South institution, and we believe in developing partnerships, we very much really welcome the initiatives by the IAEA, and we believe that some of the technologies which are being promoted by them, we can certainly make good use of them and our member countries, they can really benefit from, from, from the whole, not only this, but, but their own sustainable economic development. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. This has been a very holistic perspective that's, and since we are in the creator of the event, that's allow us to move now to continue this operational view on. Let's have a perspective from a science point of view. And for them, I would like to introduce Professor Muller, because the challenges that pose climate change to food and water systems are immense. And could you discuss how nuclear science and technology can help to address those challenges from this scientific perspective. Yeah, I mean, first of all, thank you very much for Andrew choosing me and having me here in this very distinguished panel, very happy to be able to share some of the science facts.  And what I usually get as a question, what are you actually doing with the IAEA? The only dealing with nuclear energy. And then I need to start giving them a lecture on what the IAEA is doing apart from nuclear energy, right. For instance, that the IAEA without the stable isotope facilities they have and all the calibration standards, who would probably not know nothing about climate change. Because all of these kind of facilities are actually absolutely needed. Understand, for instance, ice core measurements, where we actually go back one million years ago, things like that, right.  And I think all of us were sitting here, and no sensible person will dispute the climate change is actually happening. And I mean, we're dealing already with an increase of one point, almost one point two degrees man made increase. And the scientific community is almost certainly that we may have difficulties to reach that one point five degree target. You know, we are going to talk about it and we really hope that we can reach that, but it may be actually a little bit tricky. But I mean, we all know we all feel we all have good examples of climate change.  For instance, in Emerson at the moment, we have a record drought. It was never heard of, right. And that kind of comes because of these sort of circulation systems that seem to be affected by El Nino last climate change to an extent that has never been there before. When we deal with climate change, what we know is we're dealing with interrelated factors and that makes it so difficult. So that we have to bring into account that what you already said, you know, increase of temperature, elevated emissions of climate relevant race gases. And we have precipitation effects, all of these kind of things that have to be taken into account. And on top of it, we're dealing with salt degradation, the linearity problems, right, that aggravates the whole situation. And we have even population increase. It means what that basically means is that the fertile land per person to produce food is getting smaller and smaller. Okay, we need to then find ways to utilize that fertile soil we have for the food production for an ever increasing population even. And that is why it's so important to have the items for food initiative of the IAA. And well, what I hope that I can give you some examples very soon, but before I'll do that, climate change events, catastrophic events have happened in the past for human beings. And it's actually quite interesting. I think probably one of the biggest events, the most catastrophic human event happened in the year 1815. There was a temporary eruption and that caused in 1816, a kind of year without summer. You know, that was actually quite interesting. They had huge problems. It was a global event. People were trying to go from one country to the next only to find out that it was the same problem. But their means went to America, hoping that there was better there, but it wasn't better there because it was a global event. That's exactly what we're dealing with now. And you introduced me nicely that I'm coming from Giesen. That's actually called the Ustus Liebig University. And Ustus Liebig is probably one of their agrochemists in the 19th century. He became professor in Giesen in the year 1824. Where am I saying that? He was at the age of 21, a very young professor. And he came exactly from this kind of temporary event 10 years ago. And that has had an effect over 10 years. And he said, listen, we need to understand how plants are growing. We need to understand how we can deal with food security. He wasn't mentioning the word food security, but it is exactly what he was dealing with. And he was the first coming up with fertilizer. Urea, for instance, was developed in our laboratories in Giesen. Superphosphite was developed in our laboratories in Giesen. Urea, as you know, is probably the nitrogen fertilizer in the world used solely in rice production. And these are the things you see. And that was a kind of solution to things. And that sort of also happened later on, or that kind of brought us to the green revolution after the Second World War. I mean, of course, we had the crops, we had the breeding conditions, but also the fertilizer that actually helped to actually bring the crop protection to that level we needed to keep an ever-increasing population. Now the problem came because we sort of realized that we have feed. You know, we're actually generating a lot of nitrous oxide and a lot of greenhouse gases from agriculture, which is causing global warming and has a negative feedback on our systems, on our agroecosystems. That is where this climate-smart agricultural technique comes in. Well, we in Giesen, we actually say, well, I mean, if you look at biology, these kind of systems are slow-moving systems. That means we may not feel things now, but we have to react to something what's happening in the future. And that is why we are actually dealing in Giesen. We have one of those longest-running climate change platforms, so-called phase facility, free of carbon dioxide enrichment, where we can set the climate to something that's going to happen in the middle of the century. That means we are getting data of the future. And for us, that's actually quite important because we're not just dealing with modeling. We're dealing with hardcore science, hardcore measurements. That is where nuclear techniques come in. For instance, we are fumigating with the carbon dioxide that comes from fossil fuels. It has a very low carbon-soil-dien signature. It has almost no 14C signature. That means with this carbon, we can trace this into the ecosystem and see, do we, for instance, get enhanced carbon sequestration, carbon storage in the soil? All of these are techniques that are developed in connection with the IAA. Okay, very important remark. Absolutely, absolutely. That means our systems are now running for 25 years, and we actually know that processes are changing. For instance, we know that climate-relevant trace gases, the processes, are very important. If we, for instance, wanted to arrive at targeted mitigation options, we need to know where these climate-relevant trace gases come from. We can, of course, measure the total amount of climate-relevant trace gases, but when we are dealing with the processes, we are relying on stable isotopes and nuclear techniques developed by the IAA. That is what we try to make sure or convince people that the IAA is not just for nuclear energy, but it is actually for all of these agriculture. It is safe and secure. Stable isotopes are all affected by stable isotopes, and they do not really matter. The thing is, in the FIOIAA center, you already mentioned that, there is a lot of work going on with breeding, with irradiation and things like that, and it's very, very important. We are dealing with, and I think you already hinted this, with the soil. The soil is the key, understand the reaction of climate change and on productive ecosystems. That is what we try to understand, that the elemental cycles, the kind of turnover of nitrogen, of phosphorus, of carbon, all of these we would not do with stable isotope facilities. That is why I think it's so important to have this problem visible. I'm quite happy you mentioned that we need partners. We are sort of an academic partner to you. What we are going to have from next year onwards, is sort of even a more closer relationship via a collaborating center, which will help a leaping center for agriculture and climate impact research, where we are dealing exactly with these kind of measures, with these kind of methodologies, and we hope that we can kind of bring this up even more obviously. And of course, industry partners are quite important, where we are actually working together with as well. And then of course, funding comes in. I mean, it has to go all hand in hand. We are usually doing basic science, but I mean, the important bit what we realize is we have to translate this basic science onto the stakeholder level, onto the farmers, onto those people who will actually have to deal with this one. They do not need to understand stable isotopes, but they need to get from us the knowledge which we get from stable isotopes, or from nuclear techniques. And that is what we hope that we can actually foster much more prominently than what happened actually before. We are really looking forward to this one, so that we can kind of bring networks together, that we can connect, and let's hope how it will be, and we are quite hopeful to have all of these connected here. Thank you very much. So we have our last panelist, and perhaps it's a very challenging position because we have discussed already an holistic perspective about the topic of our discussion. We have in the studio as well, the role of development institutions and financial institutions, the importance of South-South. We keep referring to this idea of partnerships and perhaps using that last input on the partnerships is the question to our last panelist, director Martin Crocer, is on what is specific actions? I mean, in the framework of the 2030 agenda, but also connecting food and security with the agriculture agenda, who climate change adaptation, what is the specific actions of the International Atomic Energy, and how this could be operational and materialized? It's a very challenging one, and I'm sure you're going to have an answer for that. I will try, Miguel, and I want to say thank you to my fellow panelists for talking so knowledgeably about this project. We are sitting here in the blue zone. There's also a green zone, but the reelection of the talk is happening at the main negotiation center, where the delegates are discussing the big climate agenda. I don't know if you are following some of those discussions, but if you have heard about the loss and damage fund, the loss and damage fund was created as an idea last year at the COP. This year, or between last year and this year, it was operationalized, and at the beginning of this COP, just three days ago, the financial pledges have been made. Hundreds of millions have been pledged to the loss and damage fund by different countries. What does that mean? First, it means that there is a recognition that there is a need for a fund dealing with losses and damages. You think about that. We are talking about losses of lives. We are talking about damage to infrastructure related to climate change, exactly. So that countries are putting hundreds of millions in a loss and damage fund recognition that climate is not a scientific phenomenon happening in the abstract. It is something that is already here, and financial resources have been made available to deal with the damage control, you could say. Now, this is good news, right? We could say there are hundreds of millions now available in the loss and damage fund. There are other financial facilities available, the Climate Adaptation Fund, the Green Climate Fund, the Global Environmental Facility. There are other financial instruments available to finance climate adaptation action. Miguel, I'm coming to answer your question about action, activities, what is it that's happening? And I need to draw these broader pictures here. So there are financial resources available. There is a breakthrough to help farmers to adapt to climatic financial settings you've experienced before. Groud, tolerant crops, something that was mentioned, for example. Now, the big challenge that I see from my perspective, why is it, as a director in the International Atomic Energy Agency in the technical cooperation department, is how do we get from the science with the money that is out there to do meaningful projects to transfer that knowledge, using the money that is there, using the experience necessarily from the Nebik Centre, who are the academic research institute, to transfer that to, in our case, it would be to the farmers, let's say. We're talking about food and agriculture here. How can we find a mechanism to transfer with the money, the knowledge that we have to the ultimate beneficiaries whose livelihoods are damaged, who experiences losses in income that has consequences for their families? That is, as far as I can see, the challenge that we have. Now, having painted that picture, the IA, through the technical cooperation program, has a mechanism to do exactly that, what I'm talking about, and that is, we are working in 146 countries around the world doing capacity building in those areas that we are talking about. We are transferring that knowledge to those stakeholders, to those counterparts, to those, um, those, that do need that. I give you an example. We have, for example, a project in Namibia.  It's an additional challenge.  But how to measure exactly the moisture that a plant needs to use drip irrigation successfully is a little challenge. And here's where we come in. We have, I said, probably, of course, with the technologies that are being rolled out, they sound very fancy. And sometimes they are very fancy, not only the name. I mean, there is experience, science, and even, um, a commitment that is needed behind this. But through our project and technical cooperation program with Namibia, we have worked with them to build the capacity in the laboratories in Namibia that are linked to the agricultural extension center and programs that they have there. These are all national programs. These are not driven, you know, by us or by anybody from the North to help them to use those and some public techniques to deploy drip irrigation more efficiently. And this has faced so much water. Water is the most scarce resource in Namibia for the farmers, obviously. It's just one example. Now, these type of examples, we need to multiply. And for that reason, we have created excuse me, we have created a new program, a global program on climate adaptation linked to food and agriculture. This new program is being rolled out and starting in January next year over four years, compared to what the Islamic Development Bank is doing, and as you have mentioned, some financial figures, ours is very modest, I would say, 3.9 million over a period of four years. You can see, but we believe it will have a significant impact around the world. Why? Because we are using that money to build capacity in countries like Namibia, in Vietnam, many countries to learn and deploy isotopic nuclear techniques with those climatic adaptation issues related to food and agriculture. That is our mission. That's what we are going to do over the next four years through this new global adaptation program that we are doing together with the colleagues from the Nuclear Application Department. And we are using technical cooperation as a mechanism to transfer such knowledge, including procurement, by the way. Laboratories, they need instruments, they need procurement, they need equipment. It's not only capacity building, it's hardware also. We are doing that as well. We are transferring hardware as well through our procurement. So that roughly is an answer, I hope, Miguel. By the way, just let me mention this in closing. The IAA has not started yesterday working on those topics. We have counted, actually. We have done an inventory internally. We have more than 400 projects both on the research side, but also on technical cooperation projects, more than 400 that are linked to climate adaptation issues, to water issues, to sustainable soil management issues. So more than 400. So we have already a body of experience in our own organizations, but we want to partner with financial institutions and others to scale it and to roll it at a grand scale. Thank you, Miguel. Thank you very much. We have 10 minutes to finish our events. And yes, you respond to the question, Martin. So it was a very challenging one. Perhaps because I'm coming here representing also the partnership building and resource mobilization team, I'm very touched by the inputs from each of the panelists from a partnership building perspective. I would like to conclude the session today by remembering a quote that I normally use from Helen Keller that she said that we can do so little and together we can do so much. And I think that this sentiment perfectly captures some of the spirits of this collaborative process that is bringing out not only the discussion, but also for the Atoms for Climate pavilion. Each contribution, no matter what, small or what is the source of that contribution adds to our collective capacity to build resilient food and water systems in the face of the climate change that we were discussing. But I don't want to be the one that is giving the last conclusion. And I would like to ask our panelists perhaps a quote, perhaps a sentence or one specific action or even a word that eventually could resonate on how we can move forward on this. So perhaps, TDJ, you would like to start or you would like to conclude and we start the other way around. So Martin perhaps is another comment one word, one action, one thought from the discussion. Yeah, maybe one thought in closing from my side would be at this stage where we are on the global picture of dealing with the climatic damages. I would say we cannot afford to not use all the techniques and technologies that are available to us. Some people, they have problems embracing nuclear techniques and technologies because we are saying nuclear is more dangerous. Now I would say it's more dangerous to continue let climate change happen and not to adapt it's more dangerous than anything else. So my closing thought is this we don't have the luxury anymore to pick and choose technologies that we like that we don't like, we need to use nuclear technology and that includes nuclear techniques that need to work alongside conventional technologies. The drip irrigation example that I gave is one example. It's a conventional technology that has nothing to do with nuclear but if you combine it with cosmic ray sensor to measure soil content water content, humidity content in the soil, then you have a my closing thought on the topic. Professor Müller? When I started with why am I actually doing some work with the IAA I think if you talk about climate change and you see that here on this 28 there are so many institutions there are so many facilities there are so many things dealing with climate change and some of these institutions similar things. What is unique in the IAA that they have a methodology that could be used by a lot of institutions and I think the keyword is networking. We do not need perhaps another new research institution but we need to bring that what is already available together so that we can have synergy effect and I think this is the key and that is why I really like this kind of new idea that you actually start partnering that you actually start opening up to industry, to other partners, to academia to things like Islamic Development Bank I think that is the absolute key that we bring expertise together, network and bring synergy effects on the ground. Toriba? Well thank you so much look I think doing nothing is not an option, we have to do something and I think I see it as a two kind of a parallel kind of a action one is innovation in terms of technologies other one is innovation to mobilize finances so we need both innovations to make things work and I am very glad to hear that there is a lot of innovations are already in place however they need financing so for financing also needs innovation because the development needs of our member countries as you know that SDGs by 2030 forget about achieving it because of COVID about 50 million people in our member countries have fallen under the poverty line we would not be able to achieve SDGs so we need innovation this particular innovation what I am talking about is where we partner with the private sector not learning the MDBs if you look at it the private sector has not come in as much in providing the finances for development as we would like them to come in so as you know that the gap to fill the SDGs is almost a trillion dollar per year or more so we need this financial innovation which we are working for example the last couple of years we have issued about a 1 billion dollar green bond and that bond raised about a billion euro more than a billion dollar then that was followed by 2 billion sustainability bond which we issued so we are working on doing our part we are doing financial innovation I think it's a natural partnership to with knowledge with the research and with the technology and hopefully together we could solve the problems of the future thank you the last conclusion deputy director thank you Miguel really enjoyed the discussion what came out really clearly that there is a problem and we need to work together to address it and there is no choice the problem is here and it's well known now the question is why the IA is here it's this stigma about nuclear and I always say nuclear just try to understand it and once you understand it come closer and then let's work together bring what you are good at and let's work together because this is how we will contribute our part I'm not saying that nuclear is the solution nuclear is definitely part of the solution thank you very much and thank you everybody for attending us and besides the logistics I think that we have an amazing discussion thank you very much the panelists and everybody thank you


If you're like me and you're always trying to figure out how to make your life better, then you're probably reading a lot of self-growth books or consuming a lot of self-growth content. In this video, I thought I would share what were my biggest lessons from the first 100 self-growth books that I read. Actually, every year I read about a hundred of them, but what were the biggest five things, the most common themes that I saw, and I think it'll really help you. What's up, you guys? Alex Hine here. So before we jump in, I've put together a free journaling worksheet right below this video that will help you figure out how to get your life together and design your dream life going forward. You'll also get an email journaling prompt every couple days that can help you figure out how to get started with journaling. Now, the first lesson I learned is that the quality of your life is determined by you. Now, I know this seems obvious, or maybe it isn't, because a lot of us think the quality of our life is determined by our job, or where we're born, or our parents, or who we marry, or our kids. But really, the quality of your life and where it goes is just determined by you. You can decide to change anything you want most of the time. You can decide to quit that job and do another one. If you don't do that, that's really on you. You can decide to marry the right person or the wrong person. You can decide to keep shitty friends or to keep growth-oriented friends that have your back. You can decide to change any time you want. The question is, will you? The main lesson I took away from all of these is that the quality of your life is determined by you.  You're the race car driver. You're in the driver's seat.  You're the vehicle. The second thing I took away is that the problems in your life are usually your responsibility. So I know this sounds hard if you have an awful boss who's just throwing all this work on your lap and is completely lacking empathy and is not that friendly, or you work with people that suck, or you're married to someone that sucks, or your friends suck, or whatever it is. I know it sounds hard to say that it's on you, but really, it is on you, because you take a relationship, for example, whether it's a friendship or a romantic relationship. If you have one deeply unconscious person who doesn't have their life together and is deeply flawed, and then you have another one who doesn't have their life together and is deeply flawed, that relationship is going to be problems all day long. That is going to be a hard relationship to be in, because you have two deeply unconscious people who are very unstable. But if you have even one person who's got it together and is growth-oriented and is doing their best, even a deeply unconscious person will bring that down, that average, but it's going to be much more stable and much less drama than two people here. Whether it's work or it's a friendship or romantic, the problems are up to you to solve. Of course, you can't control the economy collapsing. You can't control COVID. You can't always control illness, but you can control what you end up doing. If you view all your problems as caused by you, my health, yeah, my work is stressful, and yeah, I'm an entrepreneur and there's a lot of variability. It's still my fault. It's my responsibility. Or if my relationship is bad, it's my responsibility to fix it and apologize to my girlfriend or work on something about myself. Or if I don't like the people I work with, having candid chats, trying my best, and if that doesn't work, quitting that job, those are all up to me. The third lesson I learned is that character is the most important quadrant of your life. When everyone does these whole life pies, like relationships, finances, personal time, health, friendships, what they never say is that in the middle, the center that holds the spokes together is your character. Your character is being someone who has a good work ethic, who's disciplined, who does what they say, who is industrious and is creative. Your character goes back to being the engine. That is always going to be the most important quadrant of your life because an undisciplined person will never even do the things that will help them be healthier. An undisciplined person will never do the things that help them sleep better or have more energy. An undisciplined person is never going to do the things that help them improve their own life. And so character is the center that holds the spokes together, right? The character is that hold there, that holds everything together in the wheel. And so character is much harder to develop. It's easy to flake. It's easy to say something and not do it. It's easy to not follow through or to not be disciplined about your goals. All of that is easy. And so character is the most important center spoke that holds all the things together. But are you developing it? The fourth thing I learned is that anyone can change anytime, but will you? You know, all of these books, even if you're reading my own book, Master of the Day or Milk the Pigeon, all of these books and resources can help you change. But are you going to change? You know, one of the most enlightening things I observed as a kid was that most of the problems people have are the result of doing the same thing and expecting a different result. So if I have financial problems for a year, unless there was a catastrophe, I'm doing the same thing and expecting a very different result. You know what I mean? Like people have the same relationship fights over and over because he's always late or she never does what she says she's going to do or he said he's going to go to the gym and get healthier and he never does it or he's not that helpful around the house.  And then we end up whining about why my life isn't very good. Anyone can change anytime. You weren't born or reincarnated as a slug. You can change anytime, but will you? That's going to be the differentiating quality. You have all this information, all these resources. The defining characteristic is if you actually do something about it. And the final principle that helped me the most is that your greatest investment in life is you. It's into yourself, not the stock market, not your education, not your work, not even a relationship. The greatest investment is into yourself. And what that means is that can be as simple as putting time and energy into being the healthiest and most energized person that you've been so that you can push hard on other parts of life. It can be the investment into your character into learning how to be more disciplined or more agreeable, nicer, friendlier person or to be more driven or to be better in your career. The only thing guaranteed is as long as you're alive, you're going to have your physical body and you're going to have you unless you lose them to disease. The greatest investment you'll ever make is into making yourself better, more cultivated, more personally developed, more wise, more creative, more industrious, because that is always going to be the center spoke of your life. And if you're always working on yourself, then your life should get better and better and better over time. It shouldn't be getting worse or staying the same. The greatest investment is you because you can lose money, you can lose a person you're dating or married to, you can lose everything.  And as long as you're working on yourself, your life can always get better. So those are five things that I've learned the most from 100 self growth books. I hope that helps you guys. Check out the journaling worksheet below and then the related videos right there.


Now I want steak. Yeah, now you've got all of this vegan talk Some beef here's what the cowy Vegetables for me. No, I'm just eating it.  Oh Wolfgang Puck. No Who decided that this steak was the you know was the the ultimate food because the cow ate all of the things you needed and then process them I think it was tongue-in-cheek No, he was not being tongue-in-cheek. Oh, no, no, no, that's a different that's a different cut tongue-in-cheek is a different I call I love it. I used to I was like, oh try it like in my in the taco It's okay. It's pretty good You just have to cook it the right way or it's really tough Well, I will be having mac and cheese from lemonade directly after the show And it won't it won't be exiting you ever had a homeroom sir No It is the best vegan mac and cheese I've ever had in my entire life It is so good that I order it with meat on it instead Is it cashew cheese veggie burger with bacon and I found the cashew cheese is my favorite cheese If we're going vegan it works for me to be totally honest I don't know all I know is that and this was the benefit of eating more vegan food Because of my wife that I realized is that I actually just don't like heavy cream all that much and it was a great Change to have Vegan cheese, which is it tasted just like gave me all the flavor notes that I wanted out of the cheese But was not quite the same heavy gigantic brick of cream. I thought it was cashew 50 seconds cashew cheese That's not our good as my dad used to say not show cheese. That's not put it down Old joke Trying to get your attention though because we are About 20 seconds away And I'm gonna see if I can find this like these countdowns. Yeah, it's working all very exciting. Yeah is Here we go and 10 9 8 7 it makes us feel like we're live. I got a bail. I couldn't figure it out go for three two one Thanks to everyone who supports daily tech news show directly to find out more head to daily tech news show comm slash support This is the daily tech news for Monday September 17th 2018 in Los Angeles on top merit and from Syria feel I and I'm scooter Lane From Austin, Texas. I'm Justin Robert young And Awake I'm Roger Chang the producer of the show. Yeah, Roger break. He only had three hours asleep.  It's thank you. Thank you. Good to be here. I'd I'd never left, but If you take a peek at the video version of the show, well, no, I meant you called yourself scooter You haven't done that. I know that's true. Well, I did it for Justin. I love it For a great Justin if you're taking a peek at the video You may see that the shelves behind me are a little empty even on audio It might sound a little more roomy than usual in the middle of the studio move So by next Monday, we will have a whole new location for me to record from that's neither here nor there Let's start with a few tech things you should know The verge reports that Microsoft has completed its tests of whether Windows 10 preview users like being told that Microsoft Edge is better When a user attempts to install Chrome or Firefox the test results are that Microsoft does not plan to include the warning in the Windows 10 October 28 2018 update, but will continue to test prompts like this in the future Engadget reports that Google has completed its test of whether Chrome m69 preview users like having special subdomains including Including www remove from their address bar The test result is that Google will roll back these changes in m69 on Chrome for desktop and Android and have discussions with standard Standard bodies on the topic. However, Google does intend to hide www in Chrome 70 if I could summarize those two stories Big companies try to do things they want to do find out when people don't like it. Maybe they shouldn't do that All right, let's talk a little more about Mark Benioff pulling off a Jeff Bezos, Justin Yeah, a little less frequent though Salesforce.com co-founder Mark Benioff and Lynn Benioff have agreed to buy Time magazine from the Meredith corporation Meredith purchased Time Inc in January and has begun selling off some of its most popular publications including sports illustrated money and Fortune so Time not quite the Washington post but certainly among the biggest brands in magazine journalism writ large Also, it's slightly interesting that the Benioffs are buying Time rather than Fortune Which would have been my guess Maybe Fortune costs more I looked at this and I feel it I feel it Meredith is keeping its profitable brands like good housekeeping is a brand They have that still makes the money apparently so they're holding on to that Fortune is one where fortune.com particularly is a very popular website still I would think that might be one they would keep so maybe they're still floating it out there But asking for more because it's doing a little better than time This is a prestige play. This is Human for Benny off. Yeah to me time is a brand that means something It is something that obviously the Benioffs certainly not hurting for money can can have it be its own their own little element of Charity to keep a good brand with good journalism Alive in the world. I don't quite see the same kind of Immediate play that you did with Bezos in the Washington Post where you can Bundle it into a prime subscription or make a deal to do it Obviously, this is you know, not it's not an Amazon company, but there are connections there This to me I think is just money off wanting to keep it alive I he doesn't have any any other media holdings, you know as of now So maybe he months wants to make a play further into that Well, and that's worth pointing out Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post Amazon didn't buy the Washington Post but Amazon Makes television programs and they wanted to bundle it in with prime because you know, hey It's Bezos on the top of both So it starts to feel like there's a lot of Amazon influence Maybe the reason to your point Sarah that Benioff doesn't want to buy fortune is he wants to make it very clear that this is a Benny off and Benny off enterprise not a sales force thing Who will be time's next person of the year? Mark and Lynn Benny Congratulations If that's true hats off to you video Tell you man, if I'm the time editorial staff, I'm like, thank you for saving our jobs You are definitely people of the year No, but and I'm sure that their editorial today integrity will prevent that But yeah, it's interesting, you know, I saw a couple of headlines are like Mark Benny off and his wife And I'm like well, that's not fair to Lynn Benny off. She should be identified by herself She is in person not just defined by Mark Benny off But then when I went to find out her title She's kind of secretive and just does a lot of charity work. So other than calling her when Benny off I'm very curious what what she actually does behind the scenes. I didn't have enough time to dig further into it Okay, how announced it will shut down image sharing social network path remember path. I knew it Well, October 18th. It's over users have until then to download their data The apps will be removed from the Google Play and Apple app stores on October 1st Man Well, it's funny. I I do have fond memories of path. I did I did enjoy my time with it I think a lot of the narrative that I saw around the story today was looking at the times in which path could have sold for a lot of money and Sell and now they this is they did sell to kick out three years ago They did sell which makes kick out talk. So they finally did but yeah, they probably played out But there yeah, there was a time when when path was was seemingly worth a lot more legitimate Debates about whether path could supplant Facebook back when Facebook was much smaller and path was much bigger well, the the thing about path for anybody who hasn't used it or hasn't in a while is The premise was really cool. It was social networks aren't about amassing followers They're about curating a small group of people and really being more yourself I loved that idea. Oh, don't you think? Well, I do think that they were that they They had the right idea and the wrong application because if you've seen snapchat What the idea was no, no, no, you don't need to go viral. You don't need to necessarily Tell you how many followers you have we're just gonna give you this weird score. That is a You know a calculation of it the difference was is that snapchat gave us this video sharing and messaging a solution and cacao gave us a slightly polished apolly looking version of Facebook and Ultimately, we didn't really want that because we could get all that functionality from a place where we would share it with more people and You know path could have been something but I think ultimately, you know You can you know hindsight's 2020 But maybe the that hundred million dollars from Google would have been pretty sweet one of my relatives uses path or did To hide from their other Relatives and have a secret social network with a couple of their friends and messaged me today saying what should I replace path? And so, you know, it is Tom's relative you have lots of options I went through a bunch of different suggestions, but Vero seemed to be the one they wanted to use So and I was like, yeah, I haven't heard buzz about Vero since like March So that might be a safe place to hide out for now. Yeah, I you know, the whole path thing was I actually loved that app I haven't used it in some time. I haven't used it since cacao bought it But I I liked the whole idea. It was Perhaps ahead of its time in a way where I felt like people liked the idea of having a smaller social network but didn't really know how to intimately work on those levels and Yeah, I don't know. I Anyway, no, there's no more path That is ended IDM girl on DTS subreddit brought this next story to our intention It's a CNET story by Sean Hollister clearing up a controversy about Anders G De Silva Who's been burning up the clickbait stories not not Anders fault But people have been turning his story into clickbait claiming Apple removed purchased movies from his library now He definitely had movies removed from his library that part isn't the clickbait the clickbait is Apple is Unapologetic and Apple support gave him a couple of free rentals, but didn't really solve his problem Well, it turns out De Silva had not downloaded the movies So it wasn't a case of Apple deleting them from his hard drive, which a couple of stories implied Also De Silva had moved from Australia to Canada the movies that disappeared have been purchased when he still lived in Australia And it appears that the Australian versions are still available if he changed his region back to Australia And you may say well wait Canada Australia, they're both English language.  Why can't Apple make them available in Canada? I bet this is an unforeseen consequences situation because Movies are edited and produced differently in different countries to meet the standards of those countries So yeah, they're both in English But in Australia, maybe you're not allowed to show a thing that's okay to show in Canada So you have a slightly different edit anyway That seems to be what happened and I don't think it's Apple doing it on purpose It's certainly a failure in Apple support not to figure that out For De Silva, but he should be able to get his purchase movies back What a weird story this was because for whatever reason it just raised the hackles of Physical media purists who wanted a reason to come out and yell about how awesome their Blu-ray collections are And how much we are all moving into a dystopic future where the man can take your movies away If you buy them digitally Just so strange like what this brought out in people Yeah, well because there there've been a lot of people who have For whatever reason a lot of stake in saying you're wrong to trust anyone for cloud movies And so as soon as one thing happens, they're gonna pile on top of it And this did look bad at first because De Silva was like, hey, I Did I don't have these movies like they just disappeared and he talked to Apple support and Apple support failed him They they weren't able to identify the problem that Sean Hollister from CNET was able to identify and figure out Linux creator Linus Torvalds sent a note to the Linux kernel mailing list Apologizing for behavior that may have driven away some developers and saying that he will take a break from working on Linux Turvolds wrote that he will quote get some assistance on how to understand people's emotions and respond appropriately and quote He also emphasized that he does want to continue maintaining Linux I was not aware that Linus Torvalds Was upsetting developers as much as he he now believes that he has been doing for years And the story is a little convoluted. It has to do with travel and you know a bad Managing of calendars and that sort of thing but for him to say listen, I've been I Mean, what's the word really you got it? It's not about the there's a whole story about him forgetting to schedule Exactly around a conference he was supposed to go to but that's not the problem The problem is every once in a while he goes off on people on the public mailing list and a lot of times People champion him and say see he doesn't hold back.  He gets to say that But it turns out that you know hearing about it once in a while from the outside not nearly The same as living with it on a day-to-day basis Empathy is a lesson that we can all stand to learn more about in an internet age, you know I feel what you're feeling there. Thank you Perhaps you'll feel Apple's iOS 12 which is available now is it over the air updates along with a bunch of speed improvements a lot of improvements In fact, there are new an emoji characters for the new iPhone models new camera effects just to name a few Apple also originally planned to introduce group FaceTime support in iOS 12 But removed the feature while it was still in beta Hmm Wasn't quite there my iOS 12 update for for the iPhone I keep went Smoothly, and it's fine. I haven't really noticed anything that crazy out of it 20 minutes or less I didn't really pay attention I went over and pressed the button to install after it downloaded and went back to it I know a little while later after doing some other things and it was fine the watch OS 5 update on the other hand Was going to take an hour until I remembered the trick that I learned on the SMR podcast Which I think they learned from I more which is turn off Bluetooth during a watch OS update And suddenly your update goes from an hour to 20 minutes because it forces the watch to use Wi-Fi, which is faster I guess the reason Apple wants to use Bluetooth is because that's easier on your battery But if you want to get your watch back on your hand faster, there's the trick Oh That's interesting So so it would it would be or you know either either Wi-Fi or the radio, right? That you know, it's the blue it's Bluetooth or Wi-Fi or your options And if you have both on it will force it over Bluetooth, which is much slower. Yeah So there you go. Did you update your iOS 12 anyone else? I have not I have not yet. No I'm not even bothering until I get my new iPhone First Nothing is happening in my home with this beat up Seven plus we're just we're just limping along. All right So you didn't do the for the the early upgrade that we were talking about on Friday No, okay, I didn't either Hey folks, if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes Be sure to subscribe to daily tech headlines comm All right, the World Economic Forum, they're the folks who bring you Davos and by you I mean rich people not you Machines and automated software According to the World Economic Forum report are gonna handle about half of all our workplace tasks within seven years now previously the report Had a had a somewhat dim view saying yeah machines and automated software are gonna replace a bunch of jobs and They're going to eliminate more jobs than than they create. However, that has now changed The technologies are now believed to eliminate 75 million jobs by 2022 But create a hundred thirty three million jobs according to the report what they call the fourth industrial revolution Will do that it'll vary by industry though And this is where the report gets very clear. It says look if you're in mining There's gonna be a lot of jobs lost if you're in the consumer space IT Accounting post offices gonna lose a lot of jobs less heavy Replacement will happen and possibly job creation will happen in the professional services data analysts software developers Social media specialists customer service where you need the human touch Teachers etc. So they emphasize the need for companies on the one hand to invest in retraining and Providing continuing education for their employees more than half of employees of large companies might need significant retraining in the next seven years And they urged governments to create safety nets for those workers in transition from one industry say Mining or IT or accounting to something else. They are they they say Also that these new jobs may not be as secure. They may be more part-time or freelance jobs Other studies have kind of been all over the place on this the 2015 Bank of England report Estimated about a loss of 80 million US and 15 million UK jobs by 2035 PricewaterhouseCoopers in July predicted it would break even you'd create as many jobs as you replaced in December of 2018 McKinsey said the same thing equal loss and creation by 2030 so It's starting to look like the reports are at least saying it's not going to be devastating It's not going to be the machines and the automation will come and we'll all be out of jobs But what we've been saying for a long time on this show, which is it's going to affect some people not others You probably will still have jobs to get but you may need to retrain people in order to give them the skills to Get those new jobs that are created This kind of seems like a punt to me Like because I don't know if the the World Economic Forum as much as they have a poll They're the finger on the pulse of the global business community whether when you're talking about Tremendous disruptions in how we do business whether you can effectively Predict that going forward and and yes, it's it's interesting to see that we Based on these other studies there seems to be a herding of where the projections tend to be and they are not Dower right they are not You know talking about a meteor that's going to hit the world economy and create gigantic jobless this But at the same time, I I just feel like this is a little bit more of an unpredictable wild Path that we're going to take over the next 10 to 15 years and I don't know exactly how much you can Put a figure on it Well, yeah I mean, it's not an exact science by any stretch because we've never seen this exact thing happen We have to go based on you know the previous three industrial revolutions You know the computers that came the steam engine etc And you're just going around and asking people what they think Yeah, these are people who work in the industry and they they probably have a good educated guess But it's still a guess this report that we're talking about from the World Economic Forum based its forecast on a survey of senior executives strategy officers and human resources specialists at 300 global companies across 20 countries Representing more than 15 million employees their economies represent 70 percent of global GDP So they're asking the right people It's just Those you know those people probably have a better idea than you or I But even they could be wrong. It's it's it's all a guess It's based on well right now based on the technologies We're seeing coming in this is what we're planning for yeah, so let's let's take this WEF report for for what it is and say that yes, there will be more jobs created However with the caveat that there will need to be retraining and there will need to be a concerted effort to Create to make workers who were preparing for one economy be available to the other Whose job is that is that the job of industry? Is that something that government should support by way of tax breaks or maybe be more proactive and retrain workers? For the benefit of a a oncoming challenges themselves. I think it's both I think you have different roles there and different Philosophical bents are gonna think different things about how much government should get involved But I think everybody who's serious about this thinks that the government probably needs to provide the safety net between industries Right the mining industry should not be expected to retrain miners for becoming social media Specialists like right there needs to be some kind of plan. Maybe it's a safety net Supplemental income. Maybe it's an incentive program for for reeducation or something like that. That's where politics comes in That's where you know different stripes will say why I think spending little money gets you more than spending a lot of money Etc, but I think government's role is to say there's gonna people to people falling out of an industry That shouldn't be responsible for retraining them. We're gonna have to wholly Transition them from one place to another. I think we're industry. It's in their own self-interest to cover it Is where you say look we've got a lot of talented people in house We're not gonna need them as much in accounting anymore, but those skills are transferable into the data analysis section Let's give them continuing act education. Let's give them retraining right now so that we don't miss a beat when that transition happens Here's the one other thing that I found interesting It's just wrapping up with this is that it feels like the idea of retirement of This is the year at one company you get your gold watch and then and then that's that's that Obviously as eroded as we are in even our modern day But if the idea is it just kind of snuck in here. Oh, by the way, the new jobs might be less secure Yeah, it might be part time that it's like we might be already seeing it I'm sorry. You got fired from the mine. Would you like to drive uber? Mm-hmm? Yeah, no exactly that's gonna happen a lot. That's what's happening now Hey, thanks everybody who participates in our sub reddit always a safe place see submit stories and vote on others that daily tech New show dot reddit.com. We're also on Facebook Facebook.com slash groups slash daily tech news Show and guess who's back text messages back from its summer hiatus. So let's check in with Nate Langston about eSims Nate oh Nate do we have a nerd Second Here's guys this week We go pretty deep on the benefits of devices that have eSims or embedded sim cards With the announcement of the Apple Watch series for the UK got its second mobile carrier to support the technology Previously only one of our many networks actually supported it So we thought it was about time to take a long look at what needed to change how the technology works And what it means for other networks around the world all that and plenty more available now at tech podcast UK Yeah, if you're curious about the whole dual sim thing that was announced and the eSIM part of it particularly Definitely check out text message. All right. And then what we're gonna do right now is check out mailbag We are this is a first one comes from Tim It says for people like me who suffer from a balanced disorder in Tim's case It's many errors which I looked up and I sort of a vertigo thing I I had not heard of this before Tim the new Apple Watch series for is a really big deal Imagine if I fall over a bang my head nobody else is around having the watch automatically call the emergency services and give them my Location could save lives. Yeah, certainly We were not trying to belittle every use case I was only saying for myself that I'm not sure that this would be something that I would use but sounds like it's an Essential for somebody like Tim. Thanks. I've actually heard that from a couple of people that are you know There are more folks that are kind of at risk that aren't elderly that yeah very excited by this Allison Sheridan got an email from a friend clarifying that the ECG function of the Apple Watch is indeed FDA approved I made a kind of a crass remark that they Specifically said the heart rate and rhythm were FDA approved But didn't make it clear and maybe implied that the ECG was and we didn't know what there was well It is the upshot of the letter She got is that the watch can be marketed to consumers as an over-the-counter ECG device But it has not received approval as a medical device. That's true of the heart rate stuff, too I think Allison found an opinion from someone on reddit who says they are an emergency physician and said it is not Intended for people under the age of 22 It is considered an over-the-counter device and classified as class 2 which is the same class as things like condoms and home pregnancy kits Your home pregnancy kit. I think is a great analysis or analogy It's not the be all end all and whether you're pregnant or not It's a way to check real quickly at home and then seek further advice depending on what it says It sounds like the ECG is exactly the same thing And I even made Allison dig up the actual link to the letter on FDA gov So hat tip to Allison.

I know but I would be I would be nervous Does he have to check a bag? No, I don't think he has to check a bag and he's But see I say these things and then I miss my fights We'll see and I cannot stand that idea. I know it's not the end of the world. There are other flights You know life goes on, but oh It is not fun or cool. No, no, no, it's it's it's bad time management However, I believe in you the closest I've ever cut it. I was actually headed Where was I headed? Maybe CES? It was some big tech thing and I ran into Kevin Rose and Daria Rose And we like hung out in the lounge having beers and then suddenly we hear our names announced Please report for boarding and it was like, oh crap. We've totally missed the entire boarding process And I panicked and they didn't and everything was fine Yeah, that happens to me a lot Sarah late passenger Sarah Lane final boarding call where I'm like, oh, yeah, I guess I should get on the flight Cuz I don't want to be on the plane until I have to I want to wait till the end Oh, yeah, see no, and that it's it's all about where your pain point is I would rather have the pain point of being on the plane sitting there like playing on my phone not worrying Right and being like looking at my watch like am I gonna miss it?  No, it's I mean, I think your way is better than mine it is It might reduce the number of missed flights, but other than that it it causes a lot of indigestion Punctuality people versus non punctuality people. Yeah, I happen to be in the latter category I don't know why I'm just it's always kind of running late. I Vassalate between the two. Yeah, that's funny. You should say that cuz I was gonna say Eileen has kind of changed over time I don't I wouldn't call her the running late type But she used to be more like me like, oh, we have to be there on time and lately it's more of like, oh, yeah We got we got time. We'll be there. It's fine. Like Well, we won't be there on time unless we're there on time. Yeah Ultimately it depends on like what my destination is and that will inform my urgency Like I'm going home One would think making a flight is of the as always an important high priority and yeah It happens. I almost missed a flight because they were trying to leave early They're like moving ten minutes late because of that well, they they delayed it and then they moved back up and I Was still operating under the delayed time I was I was on the connecting flight at O'Hare and like the little tram thing that takes you from one terminal to the other Was busted so I had to run all the way and I guess you know like decided to like, you know Oh, maybe maybe we'll just hang back because there's like eight people Like trying to make the flight. It's just like why would you like don't they have a big flight? You know like a flight board that tells them like you got a connecting flight hold up Yeah, that doesn't seem fair Oh I Got a doozy of one from United. They wouldn't take off for an hour until they could find someone to fill the last seat Yeah, that's that's what really gets you going right is when you're like, oh, so you wouldn't wait for me Who already paid my connection, but you'll wait for this person that doesn't exist because yeah Like did no one had that seat because the seat was quote-unquote out of service and they really wanted to pack in that flight You know, they won't they had like some people on standby. So we got to put some of these people on it's like alright, so they had to go through this hour-long process to go to the That repaired wait, they had people on standby. Yeah, like the standby process should be yeah one minute So this is the thing they had to get an okay to put someone in that seat because that seat was out of service 45-minute process Air travel man like the woman next to me fell asleep and she woke up 45 minutes later and I thought we haven't left the ground yet She like what the that's happened to me before where I'm like, what city are we in? Oh, we haven't left Night double check me on the episode number It is 3369 yeah, 3340 is in the that's weird. Well, so this morning it said 915 so I changed it But that's Just in the tabs. Wait, what does it say 4-0? They could have been the title was 4-0 Well, it shouldn't be yeah, it's not anymore. I Chalked that up to three hours of sleep. Yeah. All right And I type 4-0. Oh, so two kids fun. Oh, you know what it was. I you know, I Think I know what happened. The problem is I was trying to type 7-0, which is also incorrect But I missed a 7 I hit before I don't know But 915 is is I do all the time which is you you just add one to the Friday show which ends up being wrong Yeah, yeah, but I didn't I didn't change the the episode number, but if I did anything All right, I just want to make sure we got the right one in there. So 3369. Okay. Well, what do we think about a title?  We have a few we have a few paths Linus apologize rise of the machines 2025 Time flies and Benny off direction Benny off buys time is pretty funny That's a good one too That's it about robots, huh? Well, there was the welcome to the fourth industrial revolution There's also may the fourth revolution be with you Fourth and long Brave Jayhawk, we're not gonna choose it but also W. Scott is one shout out to you Friday's YouTube episode says 3369 and should be 3368 Yes, I will Fix that I it's how you can buy time. Yeah. I Got it long story. Oh I'll save it after. Oh wait. We are after the show I Five days. Yeah, no, there was I copy and paste these titles from the Listen, man, you don't need to justify it. That's no I'm trying to blame We're not that kind of organization, but I know it's We're all equally All of us but These are union rules I do like this. Hmm. Yeah, I need a title now though. I'm gonna do all right. All right, so Let me just go Benny off buys time Any up by his time great? Wonderful title I was gonna say something like welcome to a brave new job Yeah, there's something there. I Don't want it to sound too glib. I mean in the way Hey, what bit of the other it is? I'm glad I'm a what is it a beta and I'm glad I'm not an alpha But that's from Brave New World. Oh, yeah No, because when you say that I automatically think about the whole Pooha thing the pickup artist Trominology, yeah, I don't know what that I never saw that But no, it's just a concept. I only read a classic literature Roger. I do not get your pop movie I don't use when I use cliff notes the old paper paper and ink I What cliff notes is Increasingly that thing that I had mentioned that people kind of look at me like what what they have an app Well, that was gonna be my question is yeah, yeah Is it but yeah, they have a website and an app and like they've tried to stay with the times but Let's look up Cliff notes were never of much use to me. Was it a cliff? No, yeah, it was clothes. Yes. I know we all say cliff, but when you're looking it up cliff notes. You're right How do you guys these are only for study And even then they were kind of middling because a lot of teachers like well the teacher The teacher had also read the same They would avoid all the English teachers particularly always had a library of cliffs notes So they could check like did you actually write this I got a teacher that actively did her lesson plan Or you know the test based on what was included on the cliff notes so she could exclude it in the test So she would ask things that were specifically not exactly notes. Wow. That's a lot of work She was very intense. Hmm. Maybe she had a lot of time Maybe she thought she was contributing to a you know a broader Educational, you know Good, I don't I don't think I knew that it was cliffs notes plural I don't think people do right now I only thought of it when you said you were gonna search because I remembered searching for it I'm realizing. Oh, I have to put an S. That's like a long time ago when when search engines were much less forgiving Like altavista days And this is also something that I you know, I I tend to you know, when someone says Nordstroms I'm like just singular Nordstrom, you know, like cliffs notes. I should know that What was the one you were talking about on have such a good day? Oh I know I do it too.  Yeah Maybe she's online. It can remind us Like how bad is that I just listened to it yesterday. Well, maybe Saturday, but still Was not that long ago And I told myself like, okay, I'm gonna be better about that Well, and that's the thing too is like when you complain about these I I never want anyone to be like, oh It's me that's doing that Support and it was financial and It was PDT versus PST. Oh, yeah, well, I'll give you a hard time about that till the day I die No problem, you know what I do to avoid doing it wrong is Time Eastern just don't say daylight or savings because I will get it wrong, right? Yeah, and to me. I'm like, I don't understand why people get it wrong But if you do there's a very easy solution Just don't guess unless you're sure and just say Pacific time or that's what I do or whatever It's it's so easy. Oh you guys you guys this is bad news. Oh, well, it's the day after my move It's not so bad. Okay. Whoo.
