Biohacking with Nikolas Badminton – Sirius XM Canada Now with Futurist Speaker Nikolas Badminton
– New documentary
(pop music) "Smart Drugs" will air on
the documentary Channel on Sunday at nine p.m. Eastern. It follows award-winning
futurist, researcher, and keynote speaker, Nikolas Badminton. It's directed by Emmy-nominated, multiple-award-winning director, Ann Shin, both of whom join us on Canada Now. Good to have you both here. – Hi, Jeff.
– Thanks for having us. – [Jeff] Thanks, guys. And thanks for coming back, Ann. I appreciate it.
– Yeah, it's great to be here. – [Jeff] It's been a little while but it's good to have you back. So, university students,
lawyers, doctors, entrepreneurs are taking drugs to sharpen their focus and help them get an edge in an increasingly competitive society. It's happening around the world. It's happening here in Canada, right? – [Nikolas] Yeah, it's
happening everywhere. When I first started to look
at these kind of smart drugs, also known as nootropics,
I started to realize there was this entire
subculture of people, and it really does come from the people that wanna be able to read more, attain more (chuckles) information, do more work, stay awake for longer. Yeah, it covers everything from students, security guards working
in warehouses at night, – Wow.
– people like me that are writing books and doing all sorts of crazy stuff as well. – [Jeff] Yeah, well, and
at one point in the film, okay, 'cause you made yourself a lab rat for this, right?
– Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I think this is why Ann
and the team approached me because they're like, "People tell me that you're
willing to do anything, "to try these."
(Jeff chuckles) I've got microchips in my
hand, I've been trying– – [Jeff] Wait, did Ann make you do this? – No.
(Jeff laughs) – [Nikolas] And it was like, "Oh, you already, you've
done some of this before?" And I've done a whole bunch of things. I continue to experiment on my life. So, yeah, lab rat, futurist.
(Jeff laughs) You know, whatever, right? – [Jeff] But at one point
in the film, you were, and I don't know if it's like this for all kinds of these smart drugs or if it was just the
one that you happened to have taken in this
particular point in the movie, but you were talking about how it was like you've had five espressos at
once, something like that? – [Nikolas] Yeah, yeah. That was one of, I think, one of the– – [Ann] It was the Nootro, I think. – [Nikolas] Yeah, it was the
Nootro, one of the gold pills. I've tried some of these before and it's done very little for me and some of the things in the documentary, I'd try and be like, "Eh, whatever." This one was like, "Okay. (laughs) "Let's go."
– Well, you're a big guy. – Yeah.
– So, maybe you need like a good shot of something
for it to work, right? – [Nikolas] You know, physiologically, you gotta find things that
do work for you, right? And that one, wow, that hit
the nail on the head, for sure. – [Jeff] But did you talk
to a doctor or something and say, "Hey, this is something
that I'm gonna be doing"? – [Nikolas] Yeah, I mentioned it. The year before, I was diagnosed with extremely high blood pressure. I burnt out in my career and whatever. There was a doctor, Molly
Maloof, in the documentary– – [Ann] But before we found her. Your doctor, your personal doctor, didn't know a lot about it.
(Nikolas chuckles) A lot of, you know, regular GPs, they don't, they can't
really advise on it. First of all, it's a lot of
unregulated medication or drugs. – Right.
– Or else, it's off-label use of prescription drugs
which they definitely won't be in favor of.
– So you couldn't say a whole lot about what kind of
activity you might be up to? – [Nikolas] I mean, this
is all legal stuff, right? This is, you know, there's some gray area when you order things like
Indian modafinil, you know, and stuff like that
(Ann laughs) off of some website.
(Jeff chuckles) There was one day where I did that and it was actually really
great but very scary. Expired drugs, right? But yeah, I sort of, (chuckles) Molly Maloof that is in the documentary made me run like 90 tests – Wow.
– before we did everything so she could get a full profile. – [Jeff] Well, good. – [Nikolas] Running
one test when you go in to get some blood taken
scares the hell out of you. – [Jeff] Yeah, I did that once. – [Nikolas] Yeah, imagine doing 90. (Jeff laughs)
It's like… I was mortified. Everything's fine, I'm fully fit. – [Jeff] So, you're fit. Did you feel confident? Okay, I can take this and
feel the effects of it and be okay in the end? – [Nikolas] I didn't know when I started. – Mm.
– You know, it's just like, it's the leap of faith,
and some of it was like– – [Jeff] But based on
what, faith based on what? – Based on the idea of–
– The other leaps he made before that. (laughs)
– Yeah, that the biohacking, you know, you read things,
you chat to people. There's an amazing online community. Reddit's got this big sort of
community around nootropics. You get in there, you
understand, that, you know. And a lot of these nootropics,
they're like supplements. They don't get metabolized by the liver, so it's not gonna harm you physically. You do too much of this,
you're gonna go nuts, just like drinking 10 espressos at once or something like that.
– Right, okay. Yeah, yeah. Nik, you traveled from Silicon Valley to Toronto and Vancouver. Who did you talk to? Who did you meet with? – [Nikolas] Yeah, we went
down to Silicon Valley and there were doctors down there. We chatted to Molly Maloof. She sort of gave me a health check. She gave me a solid six
out of 10 for my health which actually isn't,
(Jeff laughs) apparently is better,
better than a lot of people. I've made some really great
improvements because of her. There was a guy down
there called Eric Matzner who was like the, you know, the Nootro, San Francisco bro, you know. There's part of the documentary where he's literally
pouring pills into his hand and just, like, taking 25, 35 at a time. – Unbelievable.
– And I'm looking at him. He took me through all these charts of the neurological reactions
and the precursor drugs that you take for this and that. But do you know what? He makes the best ones
that I took, you know? – Oh, really?
– Yeah. – [Jeff] Wow. So, you did advance to a point where you could compare and contrast between what you'd taken and what had a more significant effect
versus others, right? – Yeah, absolutely.
– Mm-hmm. There's a whole range
from herbal supplements and stacks that companies
like Nootrobox created where there's something to
help with long-term memory and they take slow, but it's
like a slow burn, it builds. And then there's other
where it's like, yeah, there's phenylpiracetam
or Citicoline in here and it's gonna, you're gonna
feel it in the next 40 minutes. And then there was also
wearables, tech wearables, which has become a huge industry now. These kind of headsets you can wear where it monitors your brain activity and help you try to get in the flow or get focused more or to meditate. – [Jeff] Well, that's what's
so great about the film is that you, Ann, you presented
kind of like the visuals. When you talk about the
brain, I could picture, like Nik's brain, like it was, you know. As soon as he had something on, like boom, there was a
visual, you could see, there was a graphic, it was pretty cool, and it's got a fast pace to it which, I mean, one would
think you would have to have based on the subject of this movie. – Yup, yeah.
– Yeah. – [Ann] And so, yeah, it
was hard to show the effect of LSD microdosing visually because when you do 1/10 of a tab, you don't really have any,
you don't really feel anything aside from being a bit more
up and maybe a bit more lucid and in the flow, people say, they feel like they're in the flow and that's why they do it. But how do you show that filmically? We had fun playing with,
you know, the graphics. Just in a coworking space in
San Francisco, we filmed that and then we just gave it
a little bit of an effect. – [Jeff] You know, I was
fascinated with, you know, because, okay, talking
about taking supplements, okay, so I can move faster,
I could think quicker, I could, you know, be more active. How much time do I have in a day? Well, I wanna get this much done. I get that, but the enhancement towards meditating, being
more in touch with yourself, by taking something that isn't natural that is within you, that's what I can't wrap my head around. What was that like? – [Nikolas] Well, I see
everything as fair game, you know? I believe we're born as human ones or zero and everything from the
point when you're born is like your own upgrade to your life. So, a lot of these things natural, a lot of these supplements are
actually naturally occurring sort of, you know, powders,
well, they're powdered, but, you know, these
things are already there. So, I don't see it as being
anything too unnatural. A lot of people look at me
strange when I talk about this. – [Ann] I'm one of them, too. I'm actually on the other
side of the fence here. I think meditation works best when you're without any
technology and you're centered and you're focused within yourself, right? – [Jeff] That's what I've
always been led to believe but I'm by no means an expert. – [Ann] Yeah, but then we saw Nik do a meditation death battle, (chuckling) death match with Eric Matzner, both wearing these headsets that are supposed to help them
get into the meditation zone. I don't know, what did you think? Did you think that it
helped you get meditating? – No, no.
(Ann chuckles) It didn't help me at all. I mean, you were focusing on
trying to win the death match – Exactly, right.
– Right. – rather than relaxing
(Ann laughing) and he had it like set– – [Jeff] How introspective would it be when you're trying to win something? – [Nikolas] He had it set up with speakers that birds tweeted when you're
in the ultimate state of calm so I was there, I was like, "Damn it! "The other guy's got birds tweeting." (Jeff and Ann laughing)
Closing my eyes, desperately trying to get
down and failing, you know. You know, we gamify
all of these, you know, gamifying yoga and meditation and what we eat and how we run and it kind of destroys the very essence of the center of what that
mysticism and grounding is. That was something,
during this documentary, I really held in sort of stark
relief to what I was doing where it's like, if I didn't do this, what would the world be like? In fact, the one thing, over and above the drugs
and everything else, that blew my mind and I still do it today was the cold water therapy,
the Wim Hof Method. It literally uses breathing
and cold water therapy to get centered, to
create cellular health, and a whole bunch of different things. – [Jeff] Okay, can you
tell us more about that? – [Ann] First, I wanna set the picture. – Yeah, do, Ann.
– Imagine Nik and then, you know, a dozen other guys on the shores of San Francisco waters, and it's about 10 degrees. It's not beach weather at any chance but they're breathing, (inhales
sharply) they're huffing, and there's drone music going and then, okay, hold
your breath, let it out. And after about five minutes of this, "Okay, we're gonna go in the water now." Nik was in his long underwear. He was like, "No, no way." – I wasn't gonna do it.
(Jeff chuckling) I didn't wanna do it. I was like, "I'm not doing that, Ann." – [Jeff] That, you won't do? – [Nikolas] I'm not
gonna get in the water. But do you know what? After doing the circle, I was like, "My god,
these guys are awesome." And they were, I loved, you know. And there were guys and the women there. You know, it was a
diverse group of people. It was 50 degrees in the water. – [Jeff] Wow. – It was fricking cold.
(Jeff laughs) And we go in and it's so strange. You go in, in the first two minutes, you lose all the sensation
in your arms and legs. All the blood's rushing
into the center of your body to keep your organs warm. And it's hurting and hurting and hurting. And then you realize that
the center of your body and everything feels like
you've got a furnace inside and you could literally
sit there for hours. – Really?
– It's incredible. – [Jeff] But what's happening
with your arms and legs at that point?
(Ann laughs) They can't feel them anymore. – [Nikolas] Yeah, you gotta
be super careful, you know, at staying in there too
long because of that. But no, it's like the body
just knows how in those, it's a stressful body
situation, how to manage it. And because what happens
with the breathwork, and they call it Holotropic Breathwork, you oxygenate the blood
higher than you've done before and reduce the level of CO2 as well in what's going in and out of the body, and it just creates this sort
of superhuman kind of ability. – [Jeff] Yeah. I wanna get back to the LSD thing but, at first, would this compare, 'cause I'm trying to think, with everything that you guys had tried, first of all, do you recall everything? Like, was there ever
anything where you were like, "Boy, I was out of my mind there, "I don't know what happened"? – [Nikolas] Yeah, I didn't do LSD as part of the documentary. That was someone else. Anecdotally, when people do microdosing, they're taking very small
amounts, like maybe 15 or 20 mics, and when they take that, you actually don't go into
the hallucinogenic phase of what LSD can deliver to the brain. What it does, it just
ignites your entire brain and creates new connections synaptically between different centers. So, your logical side will
boost into the creative side. Set and setting is what people in the research community around this say really determines what you can do. There have been people
like Dr. James Fadiman down in the Bay Area. He gets people to undertake different mathematical exercises, you know, architectural drawing, whatever. Anecdotally, people have
been able to change the world by the new ways that
they've been able to think. Some people say that the entire
personal computer movement, which was born in 1968
in Stanford University by a guy called Douglas Engelbart, was born out of the use
of psychedelic drugs and new ways of thinking. – [Jeff] See, now, that's
where I wanted to go because I'm looking at
this and I'm thinking, "How does this compare "to the Beatles' mid-'60s
Sgt. Pepper, you know, "and them taking LSD at the time?" – [Ann] That was macrodosing. – Yeah, okay.
(Ann chuckles) – [Ann] That was, like, full doses. – [Jeff] Right, right, right. I'm looking at that and saying,
"Well, how does it compare?" So, it's funny you talk about that in the tech age and how
it had had that boost in the late '60s given that. – [Nikolas] Yeah, and
Steve Jobs went on record before he died, rest in peace. He went on record to say that taking LSD was one of two of the
most important experiences he ever had in his life. – Wow.
– Yeah. We didn't get into the
psychedelic side of it in this documentary.
– Yeah, yeah, yeah. – [Nikolas] We were very
much in the, you know, in the approved, well, – Yeah, I get it.
– we're working on it. – [Jeff] My comparison
with the Beatles taking LSD is because… It enhanced their creativity. They put that out. I'm not giving the drugs all the credit for what they put out, but nevertheless they were
taking those drugs at the time and that's what came out and
it was such a big influence in the world of music. So, I was wondering if there
was any parallels with that. – [Ann] Well, I think that's
an interesting thought because so many people in San
Francisco and Silicon Valley in the tech industry are
either microdosing with LSD, which creates a sense of, you know, more synaptic connections
between new centers that haven't been connected before, or taking different kinds of
cognitive enhancement drugs. So, wondering how much of
the advancements in tech are part of this kind
of drug culture, really. – [Jeff] Well, yeah,
the advancements in tech and the kind of work that's put into it, everything just feels like
it's connected in some way because we live in an age right now where we're working 24/7, where we feel like we have to
get ahead of the next person, we always have to be connected, we can't take, you
know, the off hours off. Everything feels connected, so
if somebody is taking a drug that's helping them advance, well, that's gonna get out there and everybody else is
gonna start taking it. – Yeah.
– Seems like that's the case now.
– Yeah, absolutely. What happens when you let your ego die? That's where we are with psychedelics. It means that you're wide open to any possibility in the world. And that's what changes. The smart-drugs side of it
just gives you the energy and the drive and an
ability to just do more – And I think–
– over and above. Sorry, Ann.
– Yeah, no, agree. And I think that that's where you see this cultural kind of change and shift. It started, I think, in San
Francisco, Silicon Valley, and it's in all cosmopolitan city centers, but this sense of not only do
you work hard and play hard but you do it with these
cognitive enhancement drugs with the idea of upgrading yourself, upgrading your intelligence,
and maximizing yourself through cognitive enhancement drug, nootropics or something like that. – I was–
– And that's a kind of biohacking mentality
that's really part and parcel with this whole culture of
working hard and getting ahead and, you know, getting to
IPO before the next guy, that kind of thing. – [Nikolas] I've actually
been in situations, I went into a very, very famous, world-recognized consultancy, huge company, hundreds of
thousands of people work there. The people that work there
are top of their game. I was chatting to a friend, we
were doing a research report. She leans over and she goes, "I've been microdosing mushrooms. "And it's awesome." And I'm like, "Wow." She goes, "Sometimes, it takes me an hour "to get out in the morning "but that's 'cause I
don't get the dose right." – [Jeff] (laughing) Wow. – [Nikolas] But it's everywhere. It's everywhere, but
no one talks about it. It's illegal activity, right? Sourcing things like LSD, it's illegal. Can you imagine telling your boss that that's what you've been doing? – [Jeff] Yeah, oh my goodness. – [Nikolas] All they
see is incredible work. – And maybe they look
– Well, here in San Francisco – the other way on it.
– your boss is probably microdosing, too.
– Yeah, yeah. – That's true.
– A lot, yeah. I've met several CEOs who do.
– But no one's talking about it. – [Ann] No, in San Francisco, they are. – [Nikolas] In San Francisco, they are. Someone said to me a couple of days ago, they go, "Oh, I hear that
some of the tech companies "down there, they
actually distribute this." And I'm like, "I think that
some of this is folklore." I don't honestly think that that's it. I think behind the scenes there
are people using smart drugs to enhance the ability to code, to write, to do more, to last longer. There are people microdosing LSD. There are people doing ayahuasca retreats where they go really deep, like DMT, which is the active part of ayahuasca. It's the most powerful psychedelic. And that doesn't destroy your ego. It completely reprograms
how you see the world. (Jeff chuckles)
It's like everyone's in it. I would actually say, and I'm not sure what
your perspective is, Ann, I would say we're in the
high 60 to 70% of people that are in those organizations that are willing to step into that world. – [Jeff] It doesn't seem like
that number is gonna go down. – [Nikolas] Nope. – [Jeff] It's just gonna get higher. So, maybe you're kind of
on the cusp of something, you know, with this film. – [Nikolas] It's been
around for a long time. These smart drugs have
been around for a while, it's just they haven't been made popular, they've been in the shadows,
they've been edge behaviors. – [Ann] Yeah, they're
becoming mainstream now. – [Nikolas] Yeah, I think, yeah. Once you go down to one of the pharmacies and it's like the nootropic section? That's it, game-changer. – [Jeff] Do you think
Toronto and Vancouver as a couple of Canadian
cities that you could see being the new Silicon Valley in this respect with smart drugs? – [Nikolas] Yeah, and Montreal. – Montreal.
– Yeah. I actually think places like
Calgary-Edmonton as well. – [Ann] Yeah, it's been happening already. I worked with a graphic designer years ago who was like, he was one
of the early biohackers, I didn't know this, but he's Toronto-based and he was creating his own
cognitive enhancement stacks. So, people who are really into biohacking will create their own stacks of drugs. And he was like, "I've made
the best work I've ever done." – [Jeff] Do you think
that we'll get to a time where everybody is just doing this and there's gonna be
like a biohacking expert that you go to, you know, kind of like having your local doctor but your local biohacking
expert that you would go to and say, "Hey, this is what I
need, this is what I require"? – [Nikolas] The biohacking shaman. – (chuckles) Yeah, sure, sure.
– Maybe. I think that you will see people like professionally qualified naturopaths and people like that
really step into the fray. It's still gonna be like,
"Hey, this is what I've done, "you should try it as
well," kind of advice. – [Ann] I think there's
a bit of a divide here. I think there's a class
divide that's happening where those who are richer
are going to medical clinics that are private that have these machines that will monitor a lot of things about your body and performance that average people just
don't get feedback on from their general practitioners. And so, then, they'll get
supplements and things and they'll be able to
address health concerns, even before they become a concern, and that's definitely a
trend in medicine now. – [Jeff] That's very concerning because I feel like the social divide is kind of doubling up
on a couple of fronts, like in talking about smart drugs, and also in talking about food, if food prices are going to go up. I was talking this week with a professor out of the University of British Columbia, talking about how food
prices are going to go up because, in part, we're
not taking care of nature in the country and in the world, so food is, the prices of
food are gonna go on the rise and there's gonna be more
infighting with people, there's gonna be more class divide. So, (chuckling) there might be a time where there are going
to be a class of people that can afford food and
can afford super drugs, and then everybody else. – [Nikolas] Yeah. – [Jeff] It could get to
that by the sounds of it. – [Nikolas] Yeah, I think, definitely. I went into a hyperbaric chamber. That's part of the documentary as well. It's $350 an hour to do that.
– Oh my gosh. – [Nikolas] These smart drugs, you know, you buy these stacks, they are not cheap in any way, shape, or form. This is like, you know,
some people like Eric must spend thousands of dollars
on these drugs every year. – [Jeff] But thinking that
that's an investment, right? – Yeah.
– Because of what the outcome is going to be. – [Ann] To be frank, it's
not that far of a stretch. One of them pointed out to me anyone who takes vitamins are already, they're biohacking their bodies. You're trying to create a better body through nutrition that you
might not get in your meals. So, it's not that far of
a leap from average people who pop vitamins and whatever
supplements in that regard. But I think what is interesting is the amount of intervention
on natural body processes that people are willing to do if they're really wanting to experiment in terms of biohacking it. I'm personally interested in seeing an anti-biohacking
movement. (chuckles) – [Jeff] Would you ever
consider, Ann, doing this? Not that you need to
– I tried it. – because everything you seem
– I tried it. – [Jeff] to get your hands on turns into gold.
(Ann and Jeff chuckling) You had
– Nik hit this out of the park.
– a career in radio, obviously a successful career in film. You're a poet, it seems like
you can do anything you want to so you don't need anything else. – Oh, it's not… (chuckles)
– You're fine. (Jeff laughing) But would you consider getting in on this? – [Ann] Oh yeah, I do take
things like vitamin B complexes and ubiquinol and omega-3s
and other things which help, and I've taken herbal brain booster stuff. I haven't kept with it regularly. I tried modafinil once
and it just kept me up. I'm kind of an anti-pill person in general so I don't stick with it but I think– – [Nikolas] I loved modafinil. – [Ann] You still take some supplements and stuff, right?
– Oh yeah, yeah. I take a lot of vitamins and whatever. They give you the guidance,
only like 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C per day. It's like, screw that,
5,000 is gonna basically keep you really over and above and the body will get rid
of what it doesn't need. I sort of push it a little bit further and I do still take the nootropics, I still do meditation, I
still do cold water therapy. – Mm.
– Yeah, amongst other things. – [Jeff] How do you sleep? (Ann laughs) I don't mean like guilty
conscience or something, like how do you sleep at night, Nik? I just meant are you able to
get seven, eight hours a night? – [Nikolas] Well, you
know, I sort of survive on about five hours a night. I often have polycyclical sleep which means you have multiple times. You're awake for five hours, sleep for three, awake for five. – [Jeff] I used to do a morning show. That used to be my life. – [Ann] Speaking like a true biohacker. Polycyclical. – [Jeff] (laughing) Yeah. – [Nikolas] It's because I travel so much. Now, I'm in Toronto. I just moved here a couple of weeks ago. – Oh, really?
– Yeah, yeah, yeah. – From where?
– From Vancouver. I'm Canadian as well now. – [Jeff] Welcome to Toronto. – [Nikolas] But like, it's, I can, but what I do
is really interesting. I actually use Active B12 on occasion to put myself into a
heavily lucid dream state. – [Jeff] Really? – [Nikolas] Yeah, because I help– – [Jeff] I have only taken salsa. I just have a bit of salsa at night. – [Nikolas] But try it. Go and get Active B12 and take a fair dose before bedtime, about an hour before bedtime. You're gonna have the
wildest, most vivid dreams that you've ever had.
– Really? – [Nikolas] What I actually find is, because I do so much research and I look at the world in so
many different perspectives, it gives me the ability to
start telling stories in my head and I'll wake up with all sorts
(chuckling) of great ideas. – Oh, really?
– Yeah. – [Jeff] Yeah, see, 'cause I've had a, not, they weren't scheduled,
they weren't planned, but I've had a couple of dreams
that don't feel like dreams, they feel like memories. – Yeah.
– That's cool. – [Jeff] Like, I'll look back and I'll go, "Oh, I remember the time,
oh wait, I dreamt that. "That wasn't." But it really, I felt, I don't
know, it's hard to explain but I felt like I was
actually in the moment, like that had happened, and I was controlling myself
like I was on the verge of coming out of a sleep and I was able to keep
myself asleep enough to keep the dream going on. – [Ann] Right, so you're managing how– – [Jeff] I was managing it. And I think it only happened once. I was dreaming about my grandfather who passed away when I was like six, and this was a dream I had
only like five, six years ago, clearly well beyond being the age of six. I remember talking with him and we were having a good conversation. He was getting an update on my life and I was talking to him. I remember I was feeling
myself coming out of this dream and I was pushing myself back to sleep because I wanted more time with him. And I managed to keep sleeping until the conversation came to an end. Maybe I dictated that in my
own lucid state or something but I feel like I've had this
experience with my grandfather and I haven't seen him in about 35 years. – [Nikolas] Yeah, there's some
pretty wild ideas behind this and I've sort of been tapping into this in the past year as well myself. There's the idea that
your cells actually carry the memories of your grandfather,
actually genetically. So, you were born and you were born with the genetic memories of those people who have come before you and generations, so you're tapping into that. Here's something pretty wild as well. Consciously, we process around 50 bits of information per second. Subconsciously, we process about 50 million bits of
information per second. When you dream, you
swim in the subconscious and you uncover those bits of stimulus that you have over the years that give you important
lessons and you go deeper. It's pretty wild and this
is what meditation can do, this is what a number
of different things do. This is what psychedelics
taps into as well and that's why that's pretty wild. But coming back to this, dreaming as a biohack is amazing. (Ann chuckles) I'd do that more than.
(Jeff laughs) And I wake up, I wake up, – [Jeff] This could be a hobby. – [Nikolas] I wake up
next to my girlfriend and she goes, "You okay?" "Oh, I had a really bad
dream" or "I had a wild dream" and all she was is like, "Shut
up and go back to sleep." (Jeff laughs) I'm like writing away or
tapping on my computer. – [Jeff] Boy, I haven't even thought about you having a partner. No offense, but you having
someone in your life… For your girlfriend, you
being number one in her life, that must be really tiring, no offense. – [Nikolas] She's a wonderful person. – [Jeff] (laughing) She is, she must be. And I don't mean that in a bad way. You have so much energy,
it's just like, wow. – [Nikolas] What's really interesting is I was single for a long, long time. I was work, work, work, work, work. The liberation I actually got from the process of doing this documentary actually released more
time and ability for me to be able to reach out and be calmer and be fitter and healthier, lose weight. And then, literally, about a month after we first started filming,
boom, I met my girlfriend. – [Jeff] Wow. – [Nikolas] And she was 100% on board with everything I was doing. – Wow.
– I mean, she looks at me a bit strangely sometimes.
(Jeff laughing) She gets a cold and I'm barking at her, "Take 5,000 milligrams." She's like, "I'm only
supposed to take one." It's like, 5,000, do this, do that. It's like, trust me. Anyway, but yeah, she trusts that I'm
gonna look after myself. – [Jeff] Well, good. We're hoping you're gonna do that. Ann, I gotta ask you lastly 'cause I've occupied so much of your time but I really appreciate
you guys being here. We last spoke in October when your doc "The
Superfood Chain" came out and it seems like you've gone
from superfoods to superdrugs. Initially, what drew
you to making this film? – [Ann] It was that animator,
that graphic designer friend that I had who told me about this. And then I was talking with
my friend Melanie Horkan about it who was saying, you know, 25 to 30% of
students are taking it. And so, we thought, "Wow, this is crazy," because it's actually, aside
from the biohacking community, more and more people just generally are taking cognitive
enhancement supplements whether it's Adderall, modafinil, or somebody's Ritalin or ADHD drug, taking it off-label to
help sharpen their focus. We started looking into
it and met up with Nik and realized there's a whole movement that's propelling this experimentation. A lot of it's happening without people actually thinking of it as,
"Hey, I'm biohacking today." They're just, "I just need to stay awake," or, "I need to stay focused,"
and they'll take these pills. – [Jeff] Well, I'm glad you guys have brought this to the forefront. "Smart Drugs" will air on
the documentary Channel Sunday at nine p.m. Eastern. Subject Nikolas Badminton
and Director Ann Shin. Guys, I can't thank you
enough for joining us. Really appreciate it. – [Ann] Thanks for having us on. It was great. – [Nikolas] It's been a blast. – [Jeff] Good, come back. – [Nikolas] Yes, I will.

PMI funds for Malawi have helped more children reach their fifth birthday. Death rates in children under age five have fallen 48 percent since 2006.
Learn more »
In Uganda, malaria accounts for 34 percent of all outpatient visits and 37 percent of all hospital admissions. All-cause under-five mortality dropped 53 percent between 2006 and 2016, largely because of successful efforts to scale up vector-control interventions, but progress on scaling up rapid diagnosis and correct treatment of malaria cases lags behind. Even today, malaria diagnoses are often based solely on clinical symptoms, particularly among persons seeking care in the private sector. Those patients do not undergo diagnostic testing with a malaria rapid diagnostic test (mRDT) or microscopy to confirm that they do in fact have malaria.
Surveys of private-sector outlets in a number of malaria-affected countries in sub-Saharan Africa indicate that mRDTs are rarely available or used for malaria diagnosis. To better understand the supply-side factors that may explain this market failure, PMI collaborated with USAID's Global Development Lab and its implementing partners from MIT's Comprehensive Initiative on Technology Evaluation (CITE), and the Malaria Consortium in Uganda to study factors that influence buyers', distributors', and retailers' decision to stock mRDTs.
The research was conducted via the Global Development Lab-funded Higher Education Solutions Network. The Malaria Consortium, which was conducting an UNITAID-funded pilot study to introduce mRDTs into the private sector in Uganda, collaborated on the design and data collection of the study. PMI provided technical guidance and oversight, and facilitated linkages with MIT, the Malaria Consortium, and the Uganda National Malaria Control Program. Working together, PMI, the Global Development Lab, the Malaria Consortium, and MIT's Humanitarian Supply Chain Lab, which led this CITE project, opened the door for improvements in the private-sector supply chain for mRDTs that will be essential to improve the diagnosis and treatment of malaria in Uganda.
MIT researchers worked closely with the Malaria Consortium to conducted interviews and focus groups with buyers, distributors, and retailers involved to increase the availability of mRDTs in Uganda's private sector. The researchers used multi-attribute value analysis to quantify the objectives and priorities of agents at various levels of the supply chain. Results indicated that buyers who had similar roles in the supply chain had differing preferences, which may be important to consider when designing interventions. One agent valued nongovernmental relationships and administrative time, but did not want to invest more than 10 hours per week in managing mRDTs. In contrast, another buyer focused on profits and sales of other products and was willing to spend more time in achieving these financial results.
Researchers found that retailers and buyers liked the Malaria Consortium pilot—which combined a product subsidy with a bundle of services including training for retailers, advertising, barcoding, and biohazard disposal. Distributors were less satisfied because they carried the burden of expired stock as retailers placed small orders. Future initiatives should consider the risk structure across the supply chain.
The research also pointed to the potential of a different business model. Retailers were most concerned about the time spent on each transaction, which is a consultative sales process. It takes as many as 60 minutes to explain the importance of accurate diagnosis, administer the mRDT, wait for the results, and then provide appropriate treatment. However, retailers were interested in providing diagnostic services, as their highest-weighted criterion in the analysis was training on how to properly administer the devices.
These results suggest that mRDTs could be promoted as part of a "malaria service" provided by retailers, instead of offered as a product with a simple sales transaction. This service could cover both diagnosis and treatment (with an antimalarial or appropriate alternative, depending on the test result). And if the alternate treatment is low cost, then the malaria service could be priced lower than antimalarial treatment alone.
The research has been published in the European Journal of Operational Research and was recently selected as a finalist for the Decision Analysis Practice Award, which is given at the annual meeting for the Institute for Operations Research and Management Sciences.

📷Conceptual note and Objectives of the
G7 Side Event 2017 on
Innovation and Research for Healthy Ageing
Sotto gli auspici della Presidenza italiana del G7 – Under the auspices of the Italian G7 Presidency
The main aim of this G7 Side Event is to support Ministries of Health that will convene in Milan for the G7, to identify the most important challenges and the key questions that we need to answer to improve healthy ageing worldwide. G7 Health Ministers' Meeting is one of the ministerial meetings, which brings together the Health Ministers from G7 (Japan, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States) and the European Commission to exchange views and form a consensus on a variety of health issues which the international society is facing. Healthy Ageing is one of them and RESEARCH and INNOVATION could be keys to achieve it globally
There is an increasing need to move global agenda on healthy ageing, the next big public health challenge, forward.
We need to identify new ways of thinking about old things, as we are not asking the right questions of policy makers, to researchers, to society.
How do we frame the questions of research and innovation so that we can reframe the challenges of healthy ageing? There are still gaps that need to be filled, and this is the role of research. There is an increasing need to bring together various novel ideas in a way that they affect society, and this is the role of innovation.
The aim of this G7 side event, coordinated and organized by the National Neurological Institute Carlo Besta IRCCS Foundation, that in 2018 will celebrate 100 years from its foundation, is to reframe the challenges of healthy ageing in a manner that will lead to innovation and make a difference to the lives of older adults. The Italian G7 Technical Workshop will consider the issue of healthy ageing that was discussed during last G7 in Japan last year. Results of the Side Event will support the G7 summit with items focusing on research and innovation. WHO has been providing technical inputs into the global agenda on healthy ageing and will contribute to the G7 workshop so that policy recommendations are consistent from a global perspective.
European Brain Council (EBC) is a non-profit organization gathering patient associations, major brain-related societies as well as industries and it promote research, in particular brain research, in order to improve the quality of life of those 165 million Europeans that are living with a brain disorder, causing a global cost (direct and indirect) exceeding 800 billion euros for the National Health budgets.
Lombardia Region is leading innovation and research in the health and welfare sectors and is doing a major political, economic and structural reform to support healthy ageing of its population.

I tried ordering and item by Credit Card: No problem with entering CR Card # and Expiration Date information and "Not Saving" info in Safari Passwords, but, when attempts are made to enter CVV code, Safari "thinks it is a PW" and tries to save it, but automatically forward to the next field upon CVV entry. After "Place Order" get a message to enter CVV, with a "RED" * but the CVV field is missing. Clicking in the area where the previous CVV field is of none effect. I logged out, went back in. Still same issue. Tried Both Sears and Walmart websites since both stock what I wanted to order. The issue is not "site" specific. I found no blogs about this issue on Apple. I am running El Capitan on both my MacBook and my iMac so I tried to place the order: same result.
Has anyone had similar experience; Safari Preferences Problem?
I eventually used Firefox to place the order.

Hands-On Deep Neural Networks with PyTorch
Build your own NLP and computer vision models
Over the past couple of years, PyTorch has been increasing in popularity in the Deep Learning community. What was initially a tool used by Deep Learning researchers has been making headway in industry settings.
In this session, we will cover how to create Deep Neural Networks using the PyTorch framework on a variety of examples. The material will range from beginner—understanding what is going on "under the hood," coding the layers of our networks, and implementing backpropagation—to more advanced material on RNNs, CNNs, LSTMs, & GANs.
Attendees will leave with a better understanding of the PyTorch framework. Furthermore, a link to a clean documented GitHub repo with the solutions of the examples covered will be provided.
What you'll learn-and how you can apply it
This training will provide attendees with familiarity with PyTorch and Neural Networks used in Deep Learning. While it will start with basic concepts, it ramps up quickly to more advanced material that is on the cutting edge of what we can do in Deep Learning. It is of interest to anyone who is data curious or interested in applying these models at work.

From: "The Financial Physician: How to Cure Your Money Problems and Boost Your Financial Health"
Would you sit down at a high-stakes poker table in Las Vegas if you didn't know how the game was played? Of course not! If you did, you would be throwing your money away. In the beginning, you might be lucky and win a few hands, but in no time flat, your ignorance will catch up with you and you would lose your shirt.
Well, everyday, millions of people do something just as inconceivable. They go through life without understanding money and finances. They try to make ends meet, pay their bills, fill their families' needs, buy homes and cars, save and invest even though they have little or no knowledge about what they're doing. So many of them fail … unnecessarily.
Most of us have never been taught how to manage our personal finances so most of us are financially illiterate.
At school, they teach us about all sorts of subjects, many of which we may never use. We learn about ancient civilizations and mythology, but not about the basics of managing our money. Although managing our money is an essential skill that we constantly must use, it's not a part of most school curriculums. So when it comes to money, most of us don't know what to do.
To complicate matters, the subject of money and finance is made to seem complex, confusing and beyond our grasp. When we first learn about it, most of us find it intimidating so we're not drawn to it. Many of us hope that others will manage money for us or think that we can always learn about it at a later time, but few ever do.
Lack of financial literacy is the reason why most people don't accumulate wealth. It's also why they make financial mistakes, fall in debt, can't provide for their loved ones and jeopardize their futures. Getting into financial trouble is easy; people have lost all their money because they made just one financial blunder. The most common mistakes include speculating, putting too much money into one asset class, overpaying, spending frivolously and taking bad advice.
The National Foundation of Credit Counseling is the nations largest and longest serving national nonprofit credit counseling network. Each year, it counsels more than ¾ of a million people about bankruptcy. It estimates that 25% of those it counseled attributed their financial problems to the fact that they didn't know how to manage their money.
The most prominent symptom of financial illiteracy is buying what you can't afford. People routinely purchase items that are more than they need and cost more than they can afford. To do so, most take on debt. In many cases, they don't understand debt and how it can quickly spiral. Before long, the amounts they owe mount and exceed what they can afford to repay.
When it comes to their finances, most folks don't know what they're doing, they don't know how to figure out what they can afford, the best ways to buy, save and invest. Much of the present financial crisis occurred because people took out mortgages that they didn't understand and subsequently couldn't repay. When it came to mortgages, they were illiterate and didn't know what they were getting into. They couldn't tell when they were being "sold," being put into no-win situations or given poor advice.
Nearly half of all Americans live from paycheck to paycheck because they don't understand how to manage their personal finances. They are only one or two paychecks away from being broke. They have no wiggle room for the emergencies and unexpected expenses that always pop up.
Lots of people get into financial trouble because they try to keep up with their friends and neighbors. They see them living extravagant, luxurious lives and want to follow suit. However, it's hard to tell what lies beneath those lavish facades. The people who seem to have so much may earn more than we do or be subsidized by their wealthy families. They may be putting on a grand front when everything inside is falling apart and be deeply in debt.
Live within your means. Don't be envious or tempted by the opulent lives of others. Putting on a big show may be all they have. Realign your priorities from today to tomorrow and build your net worth and your future.
Get more education. Learn about basic economics. If you asked ten people what the GDP (gross national product) is, only one or two would know. Learn about the items below, which I'll discuss in detail in the chapters that follow. They are:
Investing: I regularly see people who have hundreds of thousands of dollars at risk and do not understand where that money is and how that investment works. So my first job is to educate them and encourage them to learn on their own. Learn the basics. If you don't, you can't take an active role in managing your own investments. You can't help make decisions on how to invest your own money and will be forced to rely on others.
At the least, every investor should know the basics about stocks, bonds, mutual funds and annuities. Specifically, they must understand the advantages, disadvantages and costs involved for each such as commissions, penalties and surrender fees. Finally, they must know how to measure the risks involved.
Credit and debt: When used properly, credit is great because other people's money can help you get rich. An example of good credit is low-interest, fixed-rate mortgages that are used to acquire property that increase in value. For example, if you can put down 20%, borrow 80%, and the value of the property increases, that is an excellent use of credit. Unfortunately, as the value of their properties has gone up, too many people have refinanced them and used the equity to fund consumer purchases.
The best example of bad debt is credit cards. Credit card debt is cancer to the financial body. Most credit cards charge high rates of interest, but despite that fact, many people use them to support themselves or buy items that they cannot afford, really do not need and should not buy.
Insurance: Although insurance accounts for 10% to 15% of most people's expenses, most know little or nothing about it. You don't have to become an expert, but learn the basics about insurance. Most people I see have either too much or too little insurance, they don't understand it and how it should be used. Few shop around to find the best values. As a result, they have too much, too little or the wrong type of insurance. They also tend to have the wrong deductibles and pay the wrong premiums for the wrong types of life insurance.
Taxes: Most people are so fearful of the IRS and so ignorant about taxes that they pay others to do work that they easily could do themselves. Many could have prepared their own tax filings while others might have noticed costly mistakes that their tax preparers made. Since taxes take a portion of our wealth, we should all manage our money in the most tax-efficient way. To do so, we must understand deductions, tax-free investments, tax-deferred investments and other strategies that enable us to keep more of our money. The more money we can keep, the more we can invest for our futures.
Estate planning: Many people die without a will or having done any estate planning. They have made no provisions or left no instructions on what should be done when they die. Estate planning can insure that your money will go where you wish and it can decrease taxes and red tape for your survivors. Most people are not prepared to die and leave their families with time-consuming and costly messes that easily could have been avoided.
Goal setting: Few people have a plan. They live their lives on the fly. If they can save some money, they do — but usually, they can't and they don't. You can't succeed if you don't know where you want to go. Determine how much money you want for the future. It could be money for the down payment on a home, for you kids' education, for investments, an emergency fund, for your lifestyle or your retirement nest eggs.
- Set specific financial goals
- Write your goals down
- Live with discipline to achieve your goals.
Goal setting helps us lead more financially disciplined lives. When we know that we have firm objectives, we will be more inclined to work to achieve them. Realistically, most goals won't be fully achieved, but if you achieve some of them, or better yet, most of them, you will be well ahead of the game. You will be saving or investing some, rather than saving or investing nothing and then trying to scramble when it may be harder or too late.
Most people don't say, "I'll save $300 every month and put it into a mutual fund portfolio that will pay for my retirement." Nor do they set aside specific sums for each of their children so that they will have the money they need to pay for their college educations when they need it. They don't put money aside to pay for vacations. Instead, they charge them on high-interest credit cards.
Keep current: Stay up to date of finances and the economy. Pay attention to the economic developments that are reported in the media. News and information affects your investments and impacts your financial planning. Follow the news about subjects such as finance legislation, unemployment, inflation, and housing starts.
Things change. And when they change, they can provide money-making opportunities for those who see them coming and are prepared to act. Follow the news and developments about subjects such as finance, tax legislation, unemployment, inflation, housing starts, politics and market performance. Learn what's going on in your locale and in your areas of interest. Form alliances with people who can be your investment partners.
Become more disciplined: Don't spend money unless you have it. It's old advice that is seldom followed. People keep spending when they can't afford to. Since most don't plan for the future, they just live for today. Unfortunately, the future comes very quickly and catches them off guard. When it does, they may be well past their peak earning years and may be unable to acquire what they need. Starting early in life really helps.
If you don't start planning for your child's college education until he or she is 14, it may be too late. And, if you can pull it off, it will take a major effort that may leave you with little money for anything else. However, if you start when your child is one, you can put in less, let it build and compound.
Build net worth by:
- Preparing for the future instead of just living for today
- Buying what you need, not what you want
- Educating yourself about finances
- Being as frugal and disciplined as you can.
Becoming financially literate isn't hard, but people don't take the trouble to increase their knowledge. Many are afraid that they won't be able to understand what they have to do or think that they lack the discipline to live a more financially healthy life. Become financially literate by:
- Reading books and publications on finances. Many excellent books can teach you basic personal financial management.
For most people, the financial crisis has been a wake up call. It has forced them to begin learning more about and paying attention to their financial situations and their futures. In the new financial landscape, people will become more frugal, more goal conscious and hopefully more financially literate so they can achieve their goals.
Financial literacy is an ongoing process. Once you start and gain some knowledge, you'll want to keep up. It will become an interest, a fascination, that you enjoy and incorporate as a regular part of your life. Plus, it will help you increase the quality of your life.

Roch Ripley is a partner in the Vancouver office of Gowling WLG and the head of the Vancouver office's intellectual property department. Roch devotes his practice to intellectual property and technology law.
Roch delivers strategic advice on how to economically procure and enforce intellectual property rights with a view to helping smaller clients position themselves for investment or acquisition, and to helping larger clients establish portfolios that can be asserted offensively or defensively, and leveraged in licensing programs. He has particular expertise and experience helping clients in the information technology (including blockchain and VR/AR/MR), energy and clean technology sectors.
Roch is registered as a patent agent in the United States and Canada, and combines this legal expertise with his degree in electronics engineering to prepare and prosecute patent applications for his clients in key markets such as the United States, Europe, Asia and Canada. He also regularly leads the intellectual property-related due diligence and negotiations for transactions where intellectual property is an important aspect.
Roch spends a considerable amount of time connecting with technology entrepreneurs to learn about their businesses and to stay abreast of trends and concerns relevant to them. Whenever possible, Roch introduces his contacts to each other to help facilitate the next business deal, job offer or product.
A significant portion of Roch's practice is also directed at helping foreign attorneys file Canadian patent applications. In this regard, Roch leverages his knowledge of foreign patent laws to highlight the unique aspects of Canadian patent practice, such as those related to computer-implemented inventions, and is careful to contain costs by deferring to the analysis of an instructing attorney when possible.
Roch is a past chair of the Information, Communication & Technology Committee of the Intellectual Property Institute of Canada. He has spoken on intellectual property topics at Simon Fraser University, the University of British Columbia and SAIT Polytechnic, and for the British Columbia branch of the Canadian Bar Association, the Canadian Technology Law Association and the Continuing Legal Education Society of British Columbia. Roch is a published author both online and in traditional print media.
Roch practises through RJR Legal Services Law Corporation.
I have never met or worked with a patent attorney as rapid to learn, or as committed to excellence, as Roch Ripley.

There is my scenario
I have a restful service (json) which provides CRUD functionality. I could load Grid from JSON Rest ful service.
Now, I am using a Editor Grid and I change the fetch data and want to update the rest ful service.
So I will catch event on either Grid/EditorGrid or ListStore and from there I will manually update restful service.
The main thing here is I want to get the JSON or XML of the row (which I originally fetched from restful service), so I can change it and sent an update back to server.
If some one could guide on this, I could make my crucial decision of making GXT as my rendering framework.

Physics is a part of natural philosophy and a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time, along with related
concepts such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.
Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines, perhaps the oldest through its inclusion of astronomy. Over the last two millennia, physics was a part
of natural philosophy along with chemistry, certain branches of mathematics, and biology, but during the Scientific Revolution in the 17th century,
the natural sciences emerged as unique research programs in their own right.

What is a Cannabis Dispensary?
A cannabis dispensary is a retail store which sells cannabis products and accessories. Since the early 1990's, cannabis dispensaries have existed in the United States. The first dispensary was opened in California, and since then, the nation has been progressing towards cannabis reform. Now, there are thousands of cannabis dispensaries, and more on the way as laws in the United States change towards legalizing medical and recreational cannabis.
Most dispensaries carry a variety of different kinds of flowers and buds. The flowers will range from sativa to hybrids of all sorts to indicas, and depending on state, test results letting you know the percentages of THC, cannabinoids and terpenoids as well as ensuring the quality of the flowers. In addition, dispensaries carry a variety of other cannabis products such as prefilled vape cartridges, concentrates such as waxes and oils, as well as a multitude of other cannabis products like lotions and tinctures.

Jacqueline Chen, a distinguished member of the technical staff at Sandia National Laboratories, has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering. Chen is among the 99 new members from around the globe in the 2018 class.
Election to the National Academy of Engineering is the highest possible professional distinction that an engineer in the United States can achieve. Those in the new class will be formally inducted on September 30th during a ceremony in Washington, D.C.
Chen, who has spent her entire career working at Sandia's world-renowned Combustion Research Facility, was chosen for her contributions to the computational simulation of turbulent reacting flows with complex chemistry. This work advances predictive modeling capabilities for combustion processes.
She believes her election is a recognition of the significance of this research area. Chemically reacting flows has many important applications, such as combustion engines and the atmosphere. Chen also hopes this represents a rise in status for the discipline of computation so that it will afford equal consideration with theory and experimentation.
