O relatório Pena de Morte 2024, da Amnistia Internacional, constata que as execuções a nível mundial atingiram, no ano passado, o valor mais elevado desde 2015, com mais de 1500 pessoas a serem executadas. A China, o Irão, a Arábia Saudita, o Iraque e o Iémen foram os países com maior número de execuções. O director de comunicação da secção portuguesa da Amnistia Internacional, Miguel Marujo, mostra-se preocupado com este aumento, sublinhando que há líderes a usarem a pena de morte com o falso pretexto de que melhora a segurança pública. As execuções a nível mundial atingiram, em 2024, o valor mais elevado desde 2015, com mais de 1500 pessoas a serem executadas. A seu ver, quais são as causas deste aumento?Este aumento parte de um grupo, apesar de tudo minoritário, de países que entende que a pena de morte é a solução. Aquilo que a Amnistia Internacional tem testemunhado são líderes a usarem a pena de morte sob o falso pretexto de que melhora a segurança pública ou incute medo na população. Podemos avaliar dois casos. Por um lado, os Estados Unidos, que têm registado uma tendência constante de aumento das execuções, desde o fim da pandemia da COP 19, invocando repetidamente a pena de morte como ferramenta para proteger as pessoas da criminalidade violenta. Donald Trump, por exemplo, tem feito esse discurso nas últimas semanas. Mas a questão é que isto é uma falsa narrativa, porque a pena de morte não tem um efeito dissuasor único sobre o crime. Por outro lado, em alguns países da região do Médio Oriente, verificamos que as sentenças de morte foram utilizadas para silenciar os defensores dos direitos humanos.Quais são os países onde foram executadas mais pessoas?O conjunto de países que executaram mais pessoas são a China, o Irão, a Arábia Saudita, o Iraque e o Iémen. À excepção da China, de facto, vemos aqui uma prevalência de países do Médio Oriente. Neste número de execuções, é também na China, na Coreia do Norte e no Vietname onde existe uma maior dificuldade para se conhecerem os números exactos. Aquilo que a Amnistia estima é que a China continua a ser o principal país do mundo a executar pessoas; Também na Coreia do Norte e no Vietname há o recurso extensivo à pena de morte, sem que haja dados fidedignos que possam apontar para um número de mortos que foram condenados à pena de morte.Este relatório concluiu ainda que as crises em curso na Palestina e na Síria impediram a Amnistia Internacional de confirmar um número de execuções...Sim, no fundo, os conflitos impediram que fosse possível atestar e confirmar a prática da pena de morte, quer na Palestina quer na Síria. Não há, de facto, dados seguros que possam levar a Amnistia a dizer que o número eventualmente apresentado de casos de pena de morte, de condenações à morte, quer na Palestina, quer na Síria.No entanto, pelo segundo ano consecutivo, os países que fazem execuções mantiveram o número no ponto mais baixo de que há registo. Como é que se explica esta redução?Esta redução deve-se ao facto de existir um movimento, em todo o mundo, favorável à abolição da pena de morte, de tornar as execuções um elemento fora da equação da justiça dos países. Este é o segundo ano consecutivo em que se regista o número mais baixo de que há memória, assinalando um afastamento de uma punição cruel, desumana e degradante. O que vemos é uma minoria de países a praticar a pena de morte e o dado preocupante é que estes 15 países, que praticam a pena de morte, fizeram-no mais. Ou seja, há menos países a executar a pena de morte, mas aqueles que aplicam estão a matar mais.Os países “armam-se com a pena de morte”. É o caso do recém-eleito Presidente Donald Trump, que invocou, repetidamente, que a pena de morte é uma ferramenta para proteger as pessoas. Trata-se de uma afirmação que pode ter consequências graves?Sim, é grave! É uma afirmação desumana e promove uma falsa narrativa de que a pena de morte tem um efeito dissuasor sobre o crime. Os estudos mostram que não é assim e que a pena de morte é usada sob esse falso pretexto de que melhora a segurança pública. Os Estados Unidos são, pelo 16.º ano consecutivo, o único país das Américas, considerando a América do Norte, Central e do Sul, a executar pessoas. O número total de execuções nos Estados Unidos representa o segundo valor anual mais elevado desde 2015. Por isso, aquilo que se verifica é uma tendência crescente, claramente em contra-ciclo com aquilo que tem sido a prática de muitos países, sobretudo de países que dizem defender valores de liberdade e da democracia, como muitos países ditos ocidentais.O relatório da Amnistia Internacional mostra que, nos países da região do Médio Oriente, as sentenças de morte foram utilizadas para silenciar os defensores dos direitos humanos e dissidentes. A pena de morte tenta calar aqueles que desafiam as autoridades?Sim, aqueles que se atrevem a desafiar as autoridades enfrentam esse castigo. É um castigo cruel, especialmente no Irão e na Arábia Saudita. É bom que se registem estes dois países onde a pena de morte é utilizada para silenciar quem tem a coragem de se manifestar. Há também um aspecto relacionado com este aumento do número de execuções na região do Médio Oriente e o uso da pena de morte em crimes relacionados com a droga.Nma clara violação dos direitos humanos...Sim, porque a legislação e as normas internacionais, em matéria de direitos humanos, estabelecem que a aplicação de pena de morte deve ser limitada a crimes mais graves. Embora a Amnistia Internacional defenda que a pena de morte deve ser eliminada totalmente, neste caso, regista que condenar pessoas à morte por crimes relacionados com droga não cumpre este limiar e é imoral. Condenar à morte pessoas por delitos relacionados com droga tem também um impacto desproporcionado sobre as pessoas de meios desfavorecidos e não tem qualquer efeito comprovado na redução do tráfico de droga.O relatório demonstra o poder das campanhas contra a pena de morte e dá o exemplo da Zâmbia e do Zimbabué, Que passos significativos deram estes países? São boas notícias. Em 2024, o Zimbábue avançou com uma lei que aboliu a pena de morte para os crimes comuns, e outros países também anunciaram a intenção de avançar com a abolição da pena de morte. Há também o registo, por exemplo, na Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas, em que 2/3 de todos os Estados membros da ONU votaram a favor de uma moratória de aplicação à pena de morte. Isto significa que há um movimento que, apesar de tudo, está a tornar a pena de morte obsoleta, que não quer a pena de morte como um instrumento de justiça nesses países.Menos boas são as notícias de Burkina Faso, República Democrática do Congo, Nigéria, que tomaram medidas susceptíveis a alargar a aplicação da pena de morte...Sim, é aquilo que a Amnistia teme e que, apesar de tudo, esses países sejam levados por um discurso que não tem adesão à realidade. Mais uma vez, esses países estão a pensar em introduzir a pena de morte em questões de criminalidade, onde já se percebeu que não tem impacto significativo na redução da criminalidade.É esta a mensagem que a Amnistia Internacional quer denunciar?Este relatório, obviamente, denuncia toda a situação de países que mantêm este instrumento cruel e desumano. Mas também aponta esse caminho, que é o de que a pena de morte não deve ser aplicada em circunstância alguma. É importante transformar a pena de morte em algo obsoleto, eliminando-a completamente da justiça de todos os países.Num mundo polarizado, esta missão não se torna mais difícil?É uma missão sempre complicada, mas a Amnistia Internacional também tem esperança, porque há casos concretos onde percebemos que as coisas vão mudando. Por exemplo, um cidadão do Japão que esteve mais de cinco décadas no corredor da morte, acabou por ser absolvido finalmente, em Setembro de 2024, de um crime que nunca cometeu.E houve também o caso do cidadão do Alabama…Sim, um homem negro que foi condenado à morte no Alabama e que, apesar de graves falhas no processo, acabou por obter clemência na sequência de apelos da família, de juristas, activistas locais e da comunidade internacional. Mais uma vez, o empenho de milhões de pessoas que se envolveram no caso pela Amnistia Internacional.E que mostra também a importância de as pessoas se envolverrem nestas causas...Sim, podem parecer pequenos gestos, mas são gestos significativos e que têm depois resultado, nem que seja na vida concreta de uma pessoa,mas que altera a vida dessa pessoa. Portanto, não desistimos de insistir com campanhas individuais de libertação de pessoas que foram condenadas à morte.

Nacionalinė mokėjimo agentūra skelbia, kad mažinant biurokratinę naštą, nerizikingiems projektams trumpinamas kontrolės laikotarpis. Tai priklausys ir nuo patikrų, ar jos bus pozityvios. Kaip tikina Lietuvos jaunųjų ūkininkų ir jaunimo sąjungos pirmininkė Rūta Jurgaitė, nepada-ryti klaidų ūkininkams sunku. Antrus metus ūkininkaujantis Plungės r. ūkininkas Simas Jonu-šauskas sako, kad patikrų laukia su nerimu, nors projekto metu teko samdytis ir konsultantą. Plačiau naują tvarką pakomentuos NMA departamento direktorė Genovaitė Beniulienė.Daržininkystės ūkį su šeima Vilniaus rajone puoselėjusi Božena Lazovska Kuzborska nebūtų patikėjusi, kad kada nors augins ožkas, o štai dabar ji didelio ožkų ūkio šeimininkė. Iš ožkų pieno gaminami desertai, brandinti sūriai. Moteris džiaugiasi, kad jos sūrių paklausa didelė ir planuoja plėtrą.Rubrikoje ,,Gamtininko komentaras“ Gamtos tyrimų centro Augalų patologijos laboratorijos doktorantas Martynas Dėlkus papasakos, kuo augalams grėsmingos yra fitoplazmos.Ved.

Trejus metus tęsiasi jaunojo ūkininko Andriaus Mickevičiaus ginčas su NMA, kuri, Aukščausiojo administracinio teismo sprendimu, nepagrįstai neskyrė paramos investiciniam projektui. Žemės ūkio ministras Kazys Starkevičius teigia, kad biurokratai negali atleisti ir nepripažįsta savo klaidų. Tokių atvejų būta ne vieno, bet šis turėtų būti paskutinis. Jaunojo ūkininko tėtis Romas, ūkininkaujantis savo senelio, savanorio žemėje, mano, kad su jaunimu kaime taip susidorojama. Kaip žada keistis NMA veikla aiškina direktorius Fortunatas Dirginčius.Panevėžio kraštą garsina rauguoliai – duonskryliai, kuriuos iš naminės duonos tešlos moka daryti duonos kepėjų būrelis, susibūręs Miežiškių kultūros centro Nevėžio padalinyje.

News titles across the UK are changing hands and senior leaders amid what has been a downturn in the digital advertising market. Meanwhile, challenges relating to referral traffic, anticompetitive practices by tech giants, and the continuing decline in print revenues are dogging publishers.Owen Meredith, the CEO of the News Media Association, sat down with Jack Benjamin to discuss.The pair spoke about the numerous headwinds facing both local and national news organisations, whether it be from adapting their business models to the digital age or addressing developments in AI and publishers' dependency on social media companies for traffic.Meredith additionally revealed the NMA's priorities for working with the new Labour government, including on improving fair competition with Big Tech in the digital ecosystem.“News publishers have never directly reached into the minds or the hands of readers," he said. "They've always been intermediaries. That's something we're used to deal with.

Measles, eradicated in the United States in 2000, is making a comeback. Meanwhile, an  estimated 300,000 people died from COVID-19 in cases that could have been prevented  through vaccination. Why are we seeing an uptick in conspiracy theories, misinformation,  and outright science denial? The consequences of losing trust in science are harmful and  even deadly. Dr. Reed Tuckson, MD, FACP, has dedicated his career to restoring public confidence in  scientific research and health care. He joins Chip on the latest episode of Hospitals in  Focus to explore the current social climate influencing science denial and how it is  exacerbated by those who seek to sow mischief and discontent. Topics discussed include:  • Tribalism and the “Us vs. Them” mentality; • Social media's role as a dissemination mechanism; • Patient-level impacts on health, particularly on society's most vulnerable; • Covid-19 and the mistakes made with the best intentions; and  • Bridging the gap to regain trust and promote science literacy. More/Dr. Tuckson's Bio:  Reed V.

Birželio 13-osios laidoje kviesime jus klausytis diskusijos apie tai, kas lemia, kad ūkininkai tampa pažeidėjais ir vėliau turi dalyvauti teisminiuose procesuose. Kaip išskiria Nacionalinės mokėjimo agentūros direktoriaus pavaduotojas Tomas Orlickas, rizikingiausia priemonė, kur yra fiksuojama daugiausia pažeidėjų yra jaunųjų ūkininkų paramos priemonė. NMA duomenimis, visoje Europoje fiktyvių ūkininkų daugėjimas yra didžiulė problema, o tai turi neigiamos įtakos ir sąžiningai ūkininkaujantiems, nes griežtėja patikros ir reikalavimai. Plačiau apie tai, kokį poveikį suaktyvėjusios patikros turi jauniesiems ūkininkams, komentuos Lietuvos jaunųjų ūkininkų ir jaunimo sąjungos atstovai. Taip pat savo situacija pasidalins ir riešutmedžių augintojas Ignas Saldys, kurio ūkininkavimo atvejui yra pradėtas ikiteisminis tyrimas Europos prokuratūroje.Ved. Rūta Simanavičienė

Kaišiadorių rajono ūkininkas Eugenijus Cikanavičius, pernai deklaravęs ekoschemas, iki šiol nežino ar gaus 40 000 eurų išmokų. Administravimo sistema rodo, kad jis gali sulaukti sankcijų, bet nepaaiškina kodėl. Beveik metus pralaukęs gamybinei veiklai numatytos paramos, ūkininkas galvoja apie galvijų bandos mažinimą. Kaip padėti komentuoja NMA ?Žemės ūkyje sparčiai populiarėjant modernioms technologijoms, kai jau pasitelkiamas dirbtinis intelektas, dronai, traktoriai – robotai, išmanieji tręštuvai, mokslininkai atkreipia dėmesį į dirvožemio būklę. VDU ŽŪA agronomijos fakulteto dėstytojas, docentas Vytautas Liakas vis tiktai akcentuoja agronomo intuicijos svarbą ir rūpestį dirvožemiui išsaugoti. Verta daugiau žinoti apie krašto istoriją. Jurbarko rajono gyventojas Arvydas Sviderskis- didelis krašto istorijos ir Baltų mitologijos žinovas. Jis įdomiai pasakoja apie skydą nuo kryžiuočių Pieštvės pilį, Palemono kalną, Lazduonos piliakalnį ir įsitikinęs, kad Seredžius, o ne Kernavė buvo pirmoji Lietuvos sostinė.Ved. Arvydas Urba

In this discussion led by Thomas Debray, various challenges and considerations regarding the conduct of network meta-analysis (NMA) were thoroughly examined. NMA, a statistical technique used in evidence synthesis to compare multiple treatments simultaneously, presents a range of complexities.  How do these complexities manifest, particularly in the context of regulatory interactions and methodological variations? How can stakeholders effectively navigate these evolving requirements while maintaining methodological rigor? What strategies can be employed to streamline documentation and enhance risk management throughout the NMA process How can stakeholders address these technical challenges to ensure the reliability and validity of NMA results? What criteria should stakeholders prioritize when selecting service providers, and how can they ensure effective collaboration and resource utilization How can stakeholders facilitate effective knowledge exchange and collaboration with service providers to optimize NMA outcomes?  In this engaging conversation, we explore the multifaceted landscape of NMA, delving into its methodological nuances, regulatory implications, and strategic considerations for stakeholders. Join us as we navigate the dynamic terrain of NMA methodologies, uncovering the keys to successful regulatory interactions, risk management, and effective collaboration with service providers. Through thoughtful analysis and practical insights, we aim to equip statisticians and researchers with the knowledge and strategies needed to tackle the challenges of NMA with confidence and proficiency. Here are the key points we discuss:

Danielle Coffey's first few weeks as the News/Media Alliance (NMA) chief executive were anything but "business as usual." After being appointed the new president and CEO of this leading trade organization, representing over 2,000 news and magazine media outlets worldwide, some of the most critical issues and advocacy concerning Western news media's future required immediate attention. That list includes Gannett's recent stand-alone antitrust filing against Google; Canada's final passage of the Canadian Journalism Compensation Bill, which will require big-tech companies like Google & Facebook to pay news organizations for the content they monetize; and how this may impact the U.S. Congress passing laws that would offer similar compensation to American news outlets. In addition, the congressional support of the Local Journalism Sustainability Act (LJSA) has reemerged — legislation that would help fund local journalism via tax incentives to publishers for salaries, businesses who invest in advertising support and even the news consumers for any fees or subscriptions, paid to access the content created by local newsrooms. And if that slate of issues is not enough to keep the NMA staff working overtime, add to the pile the expanding concern by both readers and publishers with the growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how the creation of news content via algorithms without human intervention, is amplifying the already existing fears of how truth can be maintained in the multimedia news ecosystem. Luckily, Coffey is no novice when it comes to understanding the challenges of the business of creating credible, journalistic news within a sustainable business model since her promotion to NMA CEO came from within, having previously held the position of Executive Vice President and General Counsel since 2015, when the organization operated under the name of The Newspaper Association of America. In this episode of “E&P Reports,” we go one-on-one with the new President/ CEO of the News/Media Alliance (NMA), Danielle Coffey, with a high-speed interview that gains her perspective on some of the most critical legislative issues the news publishing industry is facing today, like "big tech" compensation, local journalism tax credits, AI and more. Coffey offers a frank, well-researched background and analysis of where the industry stands today and how she is leading the NMA to help us all navigate these challenges in the future.    

The Nevada Museum of Art is currently showing an exhibition created by the World War 2 Museum in New Orleans called "Ghost Army: The Combat Con Artists of World War 2." The exhibit tells of the special unit in the war that was tasked with deception. Using inflatable fake tanks, pre-recorded radio chatter, and other illusions, they misled the German army about where troops were stationed. Several members of the unit went on to careers in art, including the painter Ellsworth Kelly and the fashion designer Bill Blass. To tell us about the exhibit and other current works at the Nevada Museum of Art, we welcomed NMA's Marketing and Communication Director Rebecca Eckland to the show.

As Executive Vice President and General Counsel for the News Media Alliance, Danielle Coffey leads the advocacy efforts for the NMA's over 2000 news and magazine publishing members worldwide. 2022 was a busy year for Coffey as the U.S. Congress held committee meetings to consider passage of the well-publicized “Journalism Competition and Preservation Act” (JCPA), introduced in the House (H.R. 1735) by Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) and Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), and in the Senate (S. 673) by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA). If made into law, this legislation, greatly supported by the news publishing industry, would allow news publishers to collectively negotiate with “big tech” platforms like Google and Facebook for fair compensation for using the news content these publishers generate. The NMA has been promoting a number of cogent arguments as to why the JCPA is necessary to help local news publishers maintain sustainable business models. These "talking points" include:   “News publishers provide must-have content for the platforms to capture viewers. Between 16% and 40% of Google search results are news content. Publishers deserve fair compensation for the value they offer. By not paying them fairly for their content, Big Tech has driven many local outlets out of business.”   “For every dollar made in digital advertising, the platforms take as much as 70% of the revenue, leaving publishers with a scant 30%. Meanwhile, publishers are paying an additional "ad-tech tax" to the platforms, leaving even less for publishers. As a result of diminished revenues, thousands of journalists have been laid off, and local newspapers have shuttered.” In mid-December of 2022, it looked like the JCPA might pass into law as an attachment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a necessary bill designed to keep the military funded. However, the legislation was "erased" from the NDAA at the last minute. Then as a final attempt to help the JCPA become law before the end of the 177th Congress, legislators attempted to attach it to the controversial  $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill. However, last-minute lobbying from consumer, trade and civil society advocates like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU); Free Press Action; the Center for Democracy & Technology; and Local Independent Online News Publishers (LION) deluged Congressional leaders with last-minute media that argued against the bill, stating that the JCPA included nothing to guarantee that the monies ultimately paid to news publishers (through negotiation or arbitration) would be used to pay or hire journalists. Their messaging also suggested that the JCPA would favor large media conglomerates, which might “dominate negotiations,” disenfranchising smaller, independent outlets. In this 169th episode of E&P Reports," we go one-on-one with Danielle Coffey, Executive Vice President and General Counsel for the News Media Alliance (NMA), to gain her perspective on what really happened in 2022 to the nearly passed Journalism Competition and Preservation Act” (JCPA). She'll also address why this controversial legislation, designed to allow news publishers to collectively negotiate with “big tech” platforms like Google and Facebook for fair compensation for their use of the news content they monetize, failed to become the law of the land. Coffey also reviews the next steps the NMA will take to keep this legislation alive and the possible future of other content pending compensation models like publisher tax credits and several pending antitrust suits currently being filed by local media companies.

Lần đầu tiên, Việt Nam tổ chức Triển lãm Quốc phòng Quốc tế 2022 (Vietnam Defence 2022) từ ngày 08-10/12 tại sân bay Gia Lâm, Hà Nội, để « các nhà sản xuất trong nước và các nhà cung cấp hàng đầu thế giới có cơ hội giới thiệu các hệ thống trang bị, vũ khí, kỹ thuật tiên tiến nhất ngay tại Việt Nam ». Trong số khoảng 29 quốc gia tham dự, có Mỹ, Ả Rập Xê Út, Pháp, Đức và đặc biệt là Nga, nhà cung cấp vũ khí chính cho Việt Nam. Tuy nhiên, nguồn cung này khó được bảo đảm trong tương lai do Nga đã sử dụng số vũ khí khổng lồ trên chiến trường Ukraina từ chín tháng qua. Theo thống kê của trang Oryx chuyên theo dõi thiệt hại quân sự trên chiến trường Ukraina, tính đến ngày 06/10/2022, Nga đã mất khoảng 50% số xe tăng tác chiến, 40% số xe bọc thép bộ binh, 1/10 đội bay, hạm đội và hệ thống tên lửa. Có thể thấy, ưu tiên trước mắt của Matxcơva sẽ là bổ sung khí tài cho quân đội. Ngoài ra, khả năng sản xuất sẽ không được bảo đảm do Nga bị phương Tây cấm vận, trong khi nhiều linh kiện điện tử lại chủ yếu nhập từ phương Tây. Trả lời RFI Tiếng Việt, nghiên cứu sinh Nguyễn Thế Phương, chuyên về an ninh hàng hải và các vấn đề hải quân, trực thuộc trường Đại học New South Wales, Úc, giải thích thêm về hợp tác quân sự Việt-Nga, cũng như việc điều chỉnh chính sách nhập khẩu vũ khí của Hà Nội. RFI : Việt Nam là khách hàng mua vũ khí lớn của Nga với khoảng 75% được nhập từ Nga. Xin anh cho biết, cụ thể Việt Nam nhập những loại thiết bị quân sự nào ? Nguyễn Thế Phương : Hiện tại, thứ nhất do vấn đề lịch sử và thứ hai là do một số vấn đề mang tính kỹ-chiến thuật cho nên hầu như mọi vũ khí, từ lớn đến nhỏ của Việt Nam hiện nay đều nhập từ Nga và một số nước Đông Âu cũ thuộc Liên Xô. Việt Nam đang sử dụng và nhập khẩu hầu như tất cả các loại vũ khí lớn, quan trọng nhất. Ví dụ toàn bộ các loại máy bay trong Không quân Việt Nam đều là các dòng máy bay của Nga. Các tầu chiến của Hải quân Việt Nam từ tầu nhỏ đến tầu lớn, phải nói là 95% đều thứ nhất là có nguồn gốc từ Liên Xô cũ và thứ hai là sản phẩm của các ngành công nghiệp quốc phòng Nga. Về bộ binh, cũng tương tự như các binh chủng khác, các loại vũ khí, khí tài, từ xe tăng, xe bọc thép cho tới các loại vũ khí cá nhân, như súng, đều có nguồn gốc từ Liên Xô hoặc mua từ Nga. Kể từ năm 2019, Việt Nam có kế hoạch « Hiện đại hóa » ngay lập tức một số binh chủng. Trong thời điểm đó, tư duy hiện đại hóa quân đội, vũ khí của Việt Nam cũng được đặt trên nền tảng là Việt Nam sẽ tiếp tục sử dụng các loại vũ khí nhập khẩu từ Liên bang Nga. Nói tóm lại, hiện nay, sự phụ thuộc về mặt vũ khí, khí tài và đặc biệt là sự ảnh hưởng đến quá trình hiện đại hóa của tất cả các binh chủng của quân đội Việt Nam hiện nay đều đặt trong một giả định rằng vũ khí của Nga sẽ là một nền tảng quan trọng cho quá trình hiện đại hóa đó. RFI : Chiến tranh Ukraina đã buộc Nga huy động nhiều loại vũ khí, thiết bị quân sự ra chiến trường và chịu khá nhiều tổn thất. Việc này có ảnh hưởng đến nguồn xuất khẩu của Nga cho các đối tác nước ngoài không ? Và tác động đến Việt Nam như thế nào ? Nguyễn Thế Phương : Điều này chắc chắn sẽ ảnh hưởng đến khả năng cung cấp vũ khí của Nga cho đối tác nước ngoài. Ảnh hưởng thứ nhất là các đối tác nhìn vào tình hình trên chiến trường và đánh giá khả năng của vũ khí Nga. Và trên thực tế, một số loại vũ khí của Nga đã không thể hiện được tiềm năng như Nga đã quảng cáo. Điểm thứ hai, cuộc chiến của Nga ở Ukraina đã khiến cho Nga tốn rất nhiều nguồn lực, đặc biệt là nguồn lực về quân sự. Gần đây, nhìn trên chiến trường, người ta thấy là các loại vũ khí, khí tài của Nga tiêu hao trong cuộc chiến - 6 tháng kể từ tháng Hai cho đến giờ - rất là lớn. Thậm chí, Nga đã phải triển khai một số loại vũ khí mà họ đã niêm cất từ rất lâu. Điều đó chứng tỏ rằng tốc độ sản xuất vũ khí hiện tại của Nga không theo kịp với mức độ tiêu hao vũ khí trên chiến trường. Điều này cũng gây ảnh hưởng tới khả năng của ngành công nghiệp quốc phòng Nga tạo ra thêm vũ khí mới có thể đáp ứng các hợp đồng vũ khí với các đối tác nước ngoài. Yếu tố thứ ba là sau cuộc chiến này, rõ ràng là ngành công nghiệp quốc phòng Nga nói riêng và nền kinh tế Nga nói chung chắc chắn sẽ bị ảnh hưởng rất nặng nề bởi các lệnh cấm vận của phương Tây. Rất nhiều lệnh cấm vận của phương Tây nhắm vào chuỗi cung ứng nguyên nhiên liệu và đặc biệt là công nghệ cho ngành quốc phòng Nga bởi vì phải nói rằng ngành công nghiệp quốc phòng Nga phụ thuộc vào công nghệ phương Tây một phần rất lớn. Họ không hoàn toàn tự chủ 100% công nghệ mà phải nhập một số linh kiện, đặc biệt mang tính công nghệ cao từ các nước phương Tây. Cho nên, việc các nước phương Tây cấm vận khiến cho năng lực sản xuất, cũng như năng lực đổi mới sáng tạo của ngành công nghiệp quốc phòng Nga giảm xuống. Điều này tác động một cách tiêu cực tới việc phát triển các loại vũ khí mới để đáp ứng nhu cầu thị trường vũ khí quốc tế và ảnh hưởng tới những đơn hàng mà Nga đã có với các đối tác nước ngoài. Đó là ba tác động, khá tiêu cực tới viễn cảnh xuất khẩu vũ khí của Nga và tới năng lực của ngành công nghiệp quốc phòng Nga hiện tại. RFI : Anh vừa nêu đến những biện pháp trừng phạt của phương Tây đối với ngành sản xuất vũ khí của Nga. Về phía Việt Nam, liệu tiếp tục mua vũ khí của Nga, cũng như các dịch vụ bảo trì, bảo dưỡng và huấn luyện, có gây ảnh hưởng cho Việt Nam không ?  Nguyễn Thế Phương : Điều nay gây ảnh hưởng rất lớn. Nó tạo ra một « cú sốc » cho giới lãnh đạo quân sự Việt Nam bởi vì rõ ràng là với tình hình Biển Đông hiện tại, với nhu cầu hiện đại hóa rất lớn, đặc biệt là với các binh chủng, các quân chủng như Hải quân và Không quân, thì việc quốc gia cung cấp cho mình là Nga vấn đề gây ảnh hưởng cực kỳ lớn tới cấp độ hiện đại hóa quân đội Việt Nam hiện nay đặt trong bối cảnh đối thủ lớn nhất của Việt Nam hiện tại là Trung Quốc có một bước hiện đại hóa cực kỳ nhanh. Điều này khiến cho cán cân lực lượng của Việt Nam ở Biển Đông ngày càng bị kéo giãn ra so với Trung Quốc. Mặc dù từ kỳ Đại hội Đảng năm 2016, Việt Nam đã có một số biện pháp nhằm đang dạng hóa nguồn cung cấp vũ khí nhưng việc nguồn cung vũ khí quan trọng nhất từ nước ngoài là từ Nga bị ảnh hưởng như vậy cũng khiến cho một số kế hoạch, đặc biệt là trong việc hiện đại hóa quân đội hơi bị đảo lộn một chút, hơi bị chậm trễ một chút so với kế hoạch. RFI : Vừa rồi anh nêu chính sách ngoại giao quốc phòng Việt Nam và để giảm phụ thuộc vào Nga, Việt Nam đi theo hướng đa dạng hóa nguồn cung. Hiện giờ, Việt Nam đang hướng đến những nhà xuất khẩu nào ? Nguyễn Thế Phương : Bắt đầu từ năm 2016 và có thể sớm hơn, đối với vấn đề hiện đại hóa và mua sắm vũ khí trang bị, Việt Nam làm đồng thời ba cách tiếp cận. Thứ nhất, Việt Nam cố gắng tăng hạn sử dụng các loại vũ khí cũ, điển hình là đề án hiện đại hóa xe tăng T-54, T-55 mà Việt Nam hợp tác Israel chẳng hạn. Cách thứ hai là Việt Nam cố gắng hiện đại hóa ngành công nghiệp quốc phòng nội địa. Việt Nma có cả chiến lược, cả chính sách đầu tư vào một số trung tâm phát triển quốc phòng mạnh như Viettel để chế tạo một số loại vũ khí, khí tài 100% « made in Vietnam ». Cách thứ ba, vẫn là cách truyền thống, là Việt Nam mua sắm vũ khí của các đối tác nước ngoài, như trao đổi từ đầu là 75% vũ khí là từ Nga. Với cách tiếp cận thứ ba, là nguồn mua sắm vũ khí từ Nga bị giảm thì Việt Nam đang cố gắng tập trung vào hai cách tiếp cận đầu. Còn trong trường hợp mua sắm vũ khí từ nước ngoài, từ 5 năm trở lại đây, Việt Nam đã bắt đầu đa dạng hóa nguồn cung, đặc biệt tập trung vào hai đối tác truyền thống là Israel và Ấn Độ. Đối với Israel, hiện tại, ngoài quá trình nâng cấp một số loại vũ khí cũ, nhờ vào công nghệ của Israel thì Việt Nam mua sắm các loại vũ khí cho Không quân, như các loại tên lửa không đối không, các loại tên lửa không đối đất và nhờ công nghệ của Israel trong quá trình hiện đại hóa một số thiết bị trong cách loại vũ khí của Hải quân. Đối với Ấn Độ, Việt Nam tập trung vào mảng an ninh hàng hải và huấn luyện vì cách đây 5-6 năm, có thông tin là Ấn Độ đã hỗ trợ Việt Nam trong việc huấn luyện cho một số phi công máy bay chiến đấu và đặc biệt là huấn luyện nhân lực cho hạm đội tầu ngầm Việt Nam. Đó là hai đối tác lớn truyền thống. Tại sao lại là Israel và Ấn Độ ? Bởi vì hai quốc gia này cũng là hai quốc gia đã có rất nhiều kinh nghiệm trong việc chế tạo vũ khí có tích hợp công nghệ của cả Liên Xô, cả Nga và phương Tây. Cho nên, hai đối tác đó cũng là những đối tác quan trọng giúp Việt Nam có khả năng tích hợp các loại vũ khí đa hệ, đa nhiệm. Đó cũng là một lý do khiến Israel và Ấn Độ là đối tác đang nổi lên như vậy. Một đối tác tiềm năng nữa trong tương lai chính là một số quốc gia Đông Bắc Á, như Nhật Bản và đặc biệt là Hàn Quốc. Trong khoảng thời gian 2-3 năm trở lại đây, công nghiệp quốc phòng Hàn Quốc đã trở nên lớn mạnh. Đặc biệt là Hàn Quốc có mối quan hệ rất tốt với Việt Nam và năm 2023, Việt-Hàn nâng cấp quan hệ lên thành đối tác chiến lược toàn diện. Cũng hy vọng rằng trong tương lai, quan hệ hợp tác an ninh quốc phòng, đặc biệt là mua sắm vũ khí, khí tài với Hàn Quốc cũng có thể được mở rộng hơn và nâng cấp hơn. Đó là ba đối tác, được gọi là « tiềm năng » và « rất tiềm năng » trong tương lai, giúp Việt Nam đa dạng hóa nguồn cung vũ khí vượt qua khỏi đối tác truyền thống là Nga hiện nay.

What can go wrong with network meta-analyses? You often have multiple endpoints but these are not collected consistently across all the studies included in the NMA. How do you deal with this? Even with the same variables assessed over studies, they might be collected at different time points. This often has an effect on both efficacy and safety results. What do you do? Your placebo treatment might change over time and consequently your placebo response. Often placebo plays a crucial part in your network, but can you really pool all your placebo arms? The patient population differs between studies and hence between treatments. How do you control this bias? The pool of relevant treatments differs across countries when using network meta-analyses for HTA submissions. Should you adapt your NMA for each country's submission? You're not submitting all your HTA dossiers at once and thus the literature search needs to be updated repeatedly hence you input data into the NMA. How big are the differences and how long will it take to update everything (and what will it cost?)?

Today, two of the premier industry associations representing news and magazine publishers join forces. It's official: the News Media Alliance (NMA) will merge today with the Association of Magazine Media, still fondly known by its former acronym, “MPA,” or the Magazine Publishers Association. News businesses and magazine publishers have largely traveled similar but parallel paths since the advent of the internet. They've been challenged to build digital products and attract new audiences to them. They've both endured a revolution in the print space, with former analog print processes replaced by digital workflow and computer-to-plate (CTP) imaging. Both have been through consolidation, paper price hikes, changes to postal regulations, the disruption of their advertising and revenue models and more than a few lean years when austerity seemed the only path to sustainability. Though news businesses and magazines across the genre spectrum also had their unique challenges along the way, they share a lot in common — in the past and certainly in the present. “We've had different paths, but we have the same future,” said David Chavern, president and CEO of News Media Alliance. For the 137th episode of the E&P Reports vodcast, Chavern joined Rita Cohen, president and CEO of the MPA, and E&P Publisher Mike Blinder on the eve of the merger's resolution, to talk about the newly formed organization and its advocacy plans. Cohen has been with the MPA since 1995 and just assumed the president and CEO role in April of this year. Before that, she'd served as senior vice president of legislative and regulatory policy. “I think it's going to be a wonderful group together. … We feel, going forward, our issues are even more aligned than they have been in the past,” Cohen said. Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Washington, DC, the NMA represents more than 2,000 membership organizations, from small, local news outlets to large international media corporations. The MPA is a national trade association representing more than 500 consumer magazine publishers with print, online, and mobile app titles. The new organization will be known as the News/Media Alliance. "When we originally came up with that name, it was really designed with aspirations to represent everybody who creates great journalism — and great journalism of all kinds,” Chavern explained. Cohen will stay on in a new role as a senior advisor. Seven board members from the MPA will join the NMA's Board. Moving forward, they'll collaborate on events, including conferences, and form a unified front on advocacy. Blinder asked his guests, “How big will the organization be once the dust settles from this merger?” Chavern estimated they'll have a dedicated staff of 25 to 30. They'll have a lot on their plate. The News/Media Alliance will now represent two formidable domestic industries. Chavern said the news publishing industry is a $20 billion a year industry, and magazines weigh in at roughly $25 billion a year.   “Together, we're representing $45 billion of business annually in the U.S.,” Chavern said. “And just to put that into context, the U.S. recorded music industry is about $15 billion. “Between the two memberships, we're about three times larger than recorded music in the U.S. — so, a lot of economic activity, a lot of needs, a lot of challenges, … also huge amounts of opportunities.” The two associations already shared some members before the merger — for example, Condé Nast or Hearst Media, which publishes both print and digital magazines and news. Their members naturally have differing approaches to the platform — some still bullish and dependent on print revenues, and on the other end of the spectrum, digital-centric businesses. And in the middle, there are a great many platform agnostics. Nevertheless, all will benefit from their collective advocacy. They'll continue to work on postal reforms and champion the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA), which would impact both news and magazine publishers. They'll also pick up the mantle of data governance and the appropriate use of data. “We have many, many more readers than we ever did,” Chavern said. "And by 'ever,' I mean ever, including whatever the golden era of print was. We have a huge and growing demand for the content. The challenge we have … is that we now have many intermediaries between our customers and us, who take a lot of value." “Our business models are just like the ones the magazine industry has faced, and we're going to solve them together,” Chavern said.

We're talking about the very unaffordable utility NFTs a little bit more into moon birds and the the larger [00:00:54] ecosystem of again, how utility is really justifying valuations and valuations of, of these projects. [00:01:04] What have [00:01:05] we seen in the news? [00:01:06] Yeah. [00:01:08] Yeah, here we go. Got a few headlines here. rare. They got a new sort of marketing tactic out here where you can know. The looks token by listing your you know, it's, innovative, I guess it's not my favorite favorite marketplace. But they are certainly trying to move some more adoption to. [00:01:32] That to their marketplace one way or another. are rewarding users by adding there. So I think I read That you need to do 10 or so to make it worthwhile, but if you do have and have some that you want to list, it is check out. [00:01:48] Yeah. I mean, looks token are actually about 25% over the past seven days, which kind of nice [00:01:55] Right. I believe around $2 or so [00:01:57] right now. [00:01:57] Yeah, I got up there. I got up there. Cool. All right. So I guess another token news we've got Abe coin, which they believe last I looked was up over $15. It 30% in about one day. And that was after news leaked out. That UGA labs was planning to do their other side land sale or to hold that sale in the. Ape token rumors are, that's going to start at 600 ape, which would be w had $15 would be around 9,000. [00:02:33] So a little bit over three eat at these, at these priorities, sorry, around three, that these prices. So that's sounds like an aggressive price. When you consider that this first land sale will have thousand pieces and they plan a second land sale for hundred [00:02:50] Sorry, you said a hundred 200,000 [00:02:54] 200,000. Okay. [00:02:56] So I don't, you know, that's a lot, [00:02:58] I'm sorry. 200,000 things priced at three east. Yeah. So that would be 600, you know, if that's real, that's about ether, which would be over what over. Yeah. Oh, that's $1.8 billion or so, so I can't imagine they can really take that in. I would think that I, you know, I've heard also that it could be Dutch auction of, I don't understand how the Dutch auction or worth of work with I don't know. It'll it's, it's interesting. You know, I don't know. If it's too aggressive of a swing, certainly sounds like it may be. But they are going for it. Anyway, and so far people are buying the token in anticipation of that. We'll see closer to the launch. These are All rumors So far the actual mechanics you know, haven't been announced for that land sale. [00:03:42] Although so far, a lot of these rumors that have leaked out of UGA have proven to be [00:03:47] accurate. [00:03:49] Yeah, I'm just looking 14 days. Roughly speaking, it's up 35%, but literally as we're talking over the past 24 hours, it's dropped 16%. So this thing is, this thing is getting wild, right? It's going up and I don't own any aid. [00:04:04] I will say prior. I do own looks [00:04:06] and I know that you own [00:04:07] eight and looks right. [00:04:10] I do not [00:04:10] own looks anymore. Now I have a little bit of ape. Yeah. All right. So next [00:04:17] I just like really quick, like on the eighth thing, like I said this in the discord, but like, I'm like, I missed the train. I missed the train and anytime I find myself trying to throw my baggage car, as it pulls out of the station, like I make a mistake. I buy it. So I am firmly of the belief that like I missed it. That's fine. I, I might keep an eye on the but I'm nervous about those numbers. Maybe we'll do about land perhaps. [00:04:43] Alright, perhaps. All right, what else we get for headlines here? we've got a rate Georgia. You've invited to a castle, a Scottish going on. [00:04:56] Andrew, I'm going to have to have a whole new, a whole friends, because artists, Trevor Jones announces that NFT holders get to So Trevor Jones is an you know he's done a number Bitcoin angel and you know, this is an interesting project, one of the like [00:05:13] tying to Integration to the reaches 7, 7, 7, 7, 7 of giveaway. However, this is [00:05:21] really funny. Sterling castle in an invite only, I I don't think I'll be able to make it. It's nice to get. Usually it's just nice to be invited to a castle. [00:05:32] I mean, I, I wouldn't see a few. You can just swing by, you know, [00:05:37] I don't know. Maybe I [00:05:38] can do it. I've got to talk to you a wife and see if she'll no, no, I think I know the answer to this already. Yeah, [00:05:46] I got an extra I have to, I can give you one if you want to come with. right. Well, we'll see what happens there. I think that we'll see you when you make it over to the party. Sounds like anyway, moving on. Let's see what else we've got here. We've got this one and this one's good. so we've got the Ajax football team soccer team. We're caught like or trading on some civil rare and FTEs. had found out. [00:06:13] that they were going to switch the starting keeper. starting keepers NFTs, bought the back. Before the news went public, of course, people have figured this out. They've got public accounts. So you know, fans and others quickly figured out what happened here. So, so far they're saying not, it's technically not. [00:06:33] Regulated by commission. Although I imagine that that one's not going to hold up so well with their, with their league. I don't know about the the financial implications remember what you do on the blockchain can be seen could see the time. So even if it's not known right at the Yeah. I mean, clearly if it were a stock, that is [00:06:58] something that is frowned upon by the And in general a public market in any ways. He's a big no-no, it's just dumb. Like, what are you doing? Don't do that. But it's the beginning of the complexities of when NFT marketplaces that offer liquidity to you know, players, trading cards and pieces that impacted, like, I wonder what would have happened if those were sports cars and instead they dumped them on eBay. [00:07:26] I don't think anybody would look two ways about it. But because it's on the chain, it's with your name doing this and people will find out. [00:07:35] That's true. Yes. You know, her too hard to complete that information when it's on the [00:07:42] speaking of sports smooth transition here, look at me. [00:07:46] Speaking of sports, the Vayner sports pass, you're bringing this to us. I have heard about it. We talked about it. This was AAJ Vaynerchuk, Gary Vaynerchuks brother, this was the notorious [00:08:01] and infamous now uh, Supermint price where the cost of minty. [00:08:07] Far exceeded the actual amount that was paid for the actual project. So do you want to talk us [00:08:14] through the Vayner sports pass and why you see it as an [00:08:16] opportunity? now. , So this is now it's the collection is now sitting at about a point for a floor. I believe gun back and forth a little bit under that. We. you know, has, as we talked about, this caused a quite the waste of gas when launch and has certainly helped to keep the full floor down. [00:08:40] I think, you know, it got a lot of negative attention when it launched. So I think in some ways that is good as a, you someone at the collection now. We talked about at first, it is by AIJ banner who is Gary Vaynerchuk. Brother I don't know, a ton about his, ex his past. [00:09:01] I know he's been some of guarantees projects in the past. believe, you know, I have to think that he's going to use a lot of his connections that he felt with with Gary over the years to to help promote they do have a, they've announced that they have a roadmap coming this But hopefully it is more than some of the roadmaps we've seen where they are quickly maybe a Google doc and published. That's this is my hope that it's done in a much more, professional manner. They have announced some partnerships with athletes in the NMA area. I've not terribly familiar with MMA. [00:09:35] So I don't know, sort of the level of notoriety these athletes at this point. So these keys themselves are. There are various icons on various backgrounds and colors for the part or the basic ones. There's, not much difference among those. [00:09:54] From what I can tell, I don't there's much different in what they give you in terms of access. There are a few levels of these. So when you're looking at see that there are so. Let's see different, there are different colors that do have a more, that are more rare than others. So you see different levels. Once you get, let's see into like the gold, those jump up a bit. Let's see. The green actually. Let's eight aren't much above floor. Again, I if there's something to that color I have to think that there will be certain certain levels of access with different tier cards on here. [00:10:33] But I think it is you know, it's at an affordable price now let's see. Point three, nine, five as we speak. I've been watching it, do not have any yet. And I don't think you have any at this port point either, right? George. [00:10:46] I don't, but like my macro piece on this you know, from podcasts I've been listening to. Including overpriced JPEGs and people that have worked firsthand with ADV Vaynerchuk, the guy is sharp. The way that this was coded on chain was done intentionally. So the, the bad byproduct was the cost of gas and sort of getting this out there. [00:11:08] But it was in favor of a long-term technical decision. So far. What I know of the Vaynerchuk brand is succeed and is tied to the whole. And that they're [00:11:20] very, very deep into these sports [00:11:22] media. and what's more the sort of the [00:11:26] Vayner VaynerMedia And the marketing therapy works with a lot, [00:11:31] As you [00:11:31] mentioned, sports teams and has a lot of access, and they're becoming frankly, the leaders [00:11:38] in crypto consulting and NFT consulting. and I dunno, you combine those things for me. And I think. [00:11:44] It's very clear that [00:11:47] this probably pays back with drops alone. And the other reason of sort of like why now because that was one of the worst drops I have [00:11:54] seen ever, and I think [00:11:58] it's still holding at a price, [00:12:00] It would have killed a lot of projects and I think [00:12:03] in the water. You kidding me? [00:12:04] and I think it's really, I think it's, it's, it's great that it hasn't killed this one. and I also would have been surprised if it actually did because you know, Vayner name, they don't, they don't take it lightly when they put it out there. [00:12:16] As you said, You know, I think it's, it's interesting to think about how they think it's all part of the the whole, and you know, one bad project is going to you know, make it a lot harder for them to continue going. They've been in this space, you know, for a long time. You know, at least as, as long as you can be in it it's not like some of these other names that are coming in getting involved and then launching a project, you know, within AIJ has been in the space, you know, has definitely been around and with both Gary and Vonda own, in the space. [00:12:49] So, you know, that makes me more positive in thinking that they're to continue on this project. I also think that there's a very. A very strong likelihood that a lot more young athletes begin to get into NFTs and Vayner sports has a big leg up on the competition. When it comes to getting involved with getting those, athletes, athletes involved with them, they are already here. [00:13:13] They're web three native, and I look at that and look at this as one of the leading brands. [00:13:20] Yeah. just to make this even more complicated in addition to the card type which has escalating at that peak looking at diamond, in addition to [00:13:29] that it looks like there. are icons on them about each one, has like a couple of icons and [00:13:35] each one is associated with things like e-sports golf, football, So. [00:13:41] do actually have. Value to that. Are there, are there, are there like that's, I didn't believe that there were, there was anything to [00:13:49] those, but I wouldn't [00:13:50] This one has a baseball ache. Just one. So some have one. Okay. [00:13:57] Yeah, I don't know exactly if there is something to, you know, if there's actually a valued, tied to what is shown on the card or not. You know, so it may be worth looking into a little bit more. I haven't found anything about that at this point, if you do find something or we find something we'll of course discuss that in the discord. [00:14:16] So hop in there. If you are looking to get into this one, and hopefully we have discovered a little bit more, we can share [00:14:21] there. [00:14:22] Yeah it's, it's worth looking at. And I, And I like the why now, And also getting back, you know, to what we're gonna be talking of main utilities and new moon birds, watch this smooth transition. I think when you have a project like moon, birds come in and literally move the entire market. and when I say move the market like crypto slam for the past seven, Shows a hundred percent increase. and guess what? 375 million of that came from moon The next highest is, mutiny at 68 9, which all these numbers are absurd. So when I see that, oh, I, you know, I know I'm frustrated about missing the boat few weeks, which is. actually a lot, I'm missing a boat on, on moon birds, but the opportunity is that. [00:15:09] These other projects some of these like high value, you, [00:15:12] know, projects are out there and have an opportunity kind of some value. Right. And that's what we're, we're trying to do here. Find something affordable and all right, Andrew, let's talk about, and FTS. We just talked about members. [00:15:29] They showed the value of utility NFTs. Can you just explain, like we're throwing around utility? What the heck the actually get if you have like a moon bird, what is, how has utility. defined. [00:15:41] I mean, that's a good question for me. What the utility of the moon bird is. It seems to me that the proof pass was more of the utility They created this moon bird collection approved pass gives you, gave you access to mint, one of the moon birds. You know, I guess, how would you ex how do you think, do you consider the moon bird project, a utility still? [00:16:02] Or do you, or, or is that just a PFP project? [00:16:07] it is definitely utility And that you get access to a certain type of discord. Right? I know that you're going to be able to hang out in discord room. Kevin Rose. Cool. you're going to probably be surrounded by a lot of whales and people. Influential or at an absurd amount of money, for these things. [00:16:25] And I believe that there's going to be continued utility. They talk about what is it like towers or elements that they're going to be developing. And the way that I see the utility is like yeah, you get access to this discord. Yeah. future drops as people tripping over themselves. [00:16:40] You know, do the next partnership and drop and you'll get [00:16:44] to two of them. And, you know, you'll probably have like an art blocks effect where, you know, it'll have the sort of shiny gloss of something exciting. And then the other part of it is you're kind that this is going to be the next Hugo labs because of hype and potential of a at this point. Like for that much money, you're like essentially a [00:17:05] seed investor in a company. that's kind of guess what I'm looking at. When I looked at the utility there and I was like at play ball. [00:17:16] Yeah. think we're we're sort of getting started with, with these utility NFTs. You know, we've talked about Vayner sports, you know, that's at a pretty low price, you know, I think there's not, we haven't seen what that is seeing up. [00:17:30] Quantum art the Photography platform by Justin Arsano. They've released a quantum pass recently. I see that six or seven eat now. And access to future drops. We seen some others pool suite is one they've been operating as kind of a, I don't know what you'd call them, but an agency of sorts doing pool sweet they've recently done a NFT project, That again, is going to give access to things. I think we're going to see a lot more of these especially with I don't mention this before, but when people start looking at the, the amount that was raised by moon birds, so quickly 78 million, and have, you know, have. The credibility of people like Kevin that are looking at that and starting to make plans right now. So I don't think that I don't think they we're even close to seeing utility in FTS peak yet. I think we're, we've an immense demand. And I think everyone's trying to maybe spin their project, the mold of a utility and Ft. [00:18:41] Now, you know, it's going to be, I think we need. To start thinking about, you know, how to actually at what a utility, what utility really means to an NFT, because it's going to be a term that every project uses now. [00:18:57] Oh, yeah, for sure. I mean, they were using it before, but this is just to look at this. It blew away. Even my high-end expectation of like price tracking and what I thought would actually happen when a bunch of frankly, random you know, two things that they had bought and it just, it was incredible. [00:19:19] And so I, I also agree, I don't think utility utility is peaked, but I thought it'd make a good subject title. So I toss it in the top. And the reason ties into, I think you're selling in part belonging, tied to financial website, and both of, those things are quite powerful in and of themselves. [00:19:38] But what I mean by belonging is the same. Dynamics that happen on Sunday in a church, in your neighborhood where people show up into the same room in the same way and say the same with the ability to feel like you [00:19:53] belong to a group is in large part. What I think I see the value of a utility when you talk it about [00:20:02] as like, all right, we have access to this discord. [00:20:04] Oh, I'm going to be able to socially identify as this, you know, group of people. Capture some part of my identity and you know, there's very much value in that utility There's a reason why people signal with, [00:20:18] you know, $60,000 Rolex watches, because they want [00:20:21] to show off that they have been club. [00:20:25] I am successful because I have this thing, so that's not going away. So it's not peaked. It's very much endemic to [00:20:30] our [00:20:31] Yeah. So I had argued that that part The value for the sake of having it be high value. Isn't that more of a PFP sort of aspect to a, a, collection than a utility. And if key, I mean I don't know nobody who, people, at least weren't calling board apes and, utility and Ft. [00:20:52] Although they've proven to be that if you've held the I've given away all these things, but, you know, initially it was more like, well, you're around these other people that want to hold this thing that is absurdly you know, I think in that regard, but you can always say that as long as private discord and it's a high for praise there's, you know, It's a there is some. [00:21:14] Utility to it and that It's keeping out people that can't afford that if that is not saying that that is what you're you know, I'd say, I'd say that these, the moon birds is certainly prompt. You know, they're already talking about adding more to this. dates And and have to do this, at the time. [00:21:28] And I don't think that it would have meant much to people to say, to promise all these things, you know, nobody knew that that were going to hold any value. Now people have seen that play. kind of explicitly saying we're going to continue to build they've even they've hinted at tokens. all out there. So I think there's a, it's much more known that these are going to not just be a highly valued collection or not. And I can't say collection. It's not just seeing it's a highly valued collection. It's also that they will. [00:21:58] Give holders more value or at least more assets, you they'll have to prove. But they're going to give them more assets. They're going to continue to build. And they're going to put, put effort into this, that a lot of projects maybe have promised and have yet to deliver on. [00:22:14] So your original interesting and I can take the extreme that a position that all PFP projects and all NFTs have a promise of. I could put them on a utility spectrum. Right. I bought a one-on-one piece of art and the utility I get is it's beautiful. I like looking at it you can say, I get access to a discord. I have, you know, an extra that I can own and I can, I have all of the rights to so I can put it on a t-shirt And a mug. So I think the, question is what is the versus what is the actual utility you get? you know, You're seeing now it's more about execution and trust. I'd say there's no longer a, a new clever, like, and by the way, in our roadmap, we're going to have sparkles. [00:23:05] I think the, the magic of the are kind of fading away. And coming back to what happens here is it is trust in the founders. And you know, he's built up this community of people that listen to his podcast. that like this is, you know, the guy [00:23:19] behind dig knows how to build things. [00:23:21] And then, you know, the, that vision, you know, getting behind that vision and believing it is, is you, you're just acting like a seed investor. More so baked, into there somewhere. five spot. There's a new competitor, right? Like this time you, the labs didn't freaking exist. Like hold that in your mind for a second, And punks were like dominant. [00:23:45] Leave. They were out at this point, but it was right. they were just in their infancy. Believe it was around. [00:23:52] I could be [00:23:53] Let's look it up. I'm kind of saying they hadn't launched yet and you're saying they have, okay. See, 30th is the first [00:24:14] day I saw. [00:24:16] All right. So about a year [00:24:17] ago, [00:24:18] I'm a mirror almost on the universe. Like when this comes out, this will be so, so about that for a second, right? Like time, suddenly this like massive company [00:24:26] starts you know, it didn't take off until a couple [00:24:29] months after the project, then you have something like a Zuki, which launched like massively in, [00:24:35] I think you know, Q3, whatever it was. [00:24:37] Have to get the [00:24:39] memory of a [00:24:39] Right. I mean, I think we've seen a lot. I mean, I think even going back further unit. Two a year ago This is in 2021. It, you could even look at it. If, if you want the market was there was nothing going on And it would, it's amazing to think then you the labs launched their project. And it people into it. [00:25:00] We saw art blocks going it was kind of leading up to that. It wasn't until the summer that it really went crazy, that has certainly died down, but then started really noticing the UGA labs success or bird ape success. And I, you know, I think it spurred a lot of. Copycat projects you know, just some other animal project that you know, we're promising the same things and people have, over time kind of maybe realize that it's not a matter of just a ton of different projects of the same of the same ilk. you know, you need different projects. And I think that's what we're seeing here with, You know, with proofs and with with moon birds, even with the quantum different projects lead of categories and. become the project to to, to sort of dominate that category. [00:25:50] And we don't necessarily, we're not going to see said we're not going to see maybe, you know, a hundred different projects that are successful with that same model. You'll see a few different ones, but they're going to need this. have something different to them. And I don't just mean the animal that they're using. [00:26:03] You know, I think we've, we're seeing, we're seeing board aid to be very successful, what they do. You know, obviously you see move birds right young project. We don't know, you know, I don't want to, you know, I don't want to say. Overstate what they done at this point. You know, I think that come back down to a a level below that 38th floor and still be as quite successful. [00:26:25] But, you know, it's hard to say the long long-term success, but I, I think it is, you know, it's interesting to think, you know, as, you know, getting back to what you were saying, like how we've seen different projects, take the lead and. Yeah, I guess, you know, another one is at a Zuki and seeing more of the sort of into this. [00:26:40] I think that was a big entrance and we do see a few projects, but it's not like it's completely shifts the market. And I think we're starting to see that a bit that the best projects from these different, continuing to [00:26:50] shine through. [00:26:52] Yeah, another one I was going to call out was artifact And when they, when they dropped but it's like it's like every three months. it seems like, there is just this sort of like, [00:27:02] Huge [00:27:03] setting, [00:27:03] launch. What I'm also noticing is different than board apes, which frankly sat at a 0.5 E floor for like a months. is that these newer ones, right? the ones I just went through, like every three months, we're getting these new big. There they're up. into the right almost day one. you have to take really uncomfortable levels of risks to get in on these, on these hype cycles. Right? Like we looked [00:27:33] at artifact and we talked about it as affordable project. [00:27:35] We were like, oh, Nope, sorry, psych your [00:27:37] mind. and like Zuki went from zero to 60 immediately [00:27:40] within a matter of like days and hours, not months. So like, clearly we just talked about what happened with boomers. So these new large [00:27:47] projects. In my mind [00:27:49] prior was this idea that like, oh, there's like very treasure around. [00:27:52] One of [00:27:53] these is going to take off. And that the truth seems to be more like there's going to be something that is absurdly hype that comes up. And the question on something [00:28:04] So massive size bet. I would say we have to start thinking about this a little bit more. They are it's big bets. They are big sized bets. But I think what is interesting to notice, these are some of the most hight and they're succeeding. So you know, in, in the sense of the risks, Reward as risky as risky in the terms of it's going to go to down, you know, at least if you can get in at the very early part, you know, now at 30th, obviously I think that can that can go down 50%. Pretty easily, you know, at, at that 80th floor, when you see the volume that had, it's a you know, in you know, I'm thinking about that And that's not, it it's, it's hard to think that it D volume was Oakland to all of a sudden disappear to the point that the floor would printed 80 is a lot of ease to get into that part is challenging. You know, it it's but I am starting to see that the big projects, it's not exactly these, these diamonds in the rough they are, well-known, everybody's talking about them. And if you can get into them, even, you know, at the, the inflated floor, the initial floor price of them, they've been. [00:29:20] Extremely good investments. And especially compared to kind of trying to find the, the follow on projects that, that launch hopes of, you know getting some of the, you know, getting some of the success of those bigger name projects. [00:29:39] Yeah, I, I, guess, you know, kinda, still, I'm still like frustrated by like the fact that like, even if you see the next one coming, the, the level of risk you have to be in it is like pretty darn high. and you know, I think coming back to like, what we're doing here are the look at things like. [00:29:57] I'm not giving up on that I think there's a lot of fun to looking at, you know, pieces that won't make the top 10 and that's fine, but you, know, things that, by the way, still can like provide value and like give access still very much part of this Coinbase [00:30:14] bringing in the NFT market. And I'm hoping that brings more life to the middle market. Because look, we're, we're dealing in a market and we're like suddenly looking at [00:30:23] Lamborghinis and we're like, we don't drive fricking things. Like I drive a, you know, a cheap, a cheap plugin. I want to that's fuel efficient. it's just, it seems like we're being asked to look at markets that outside of our size range. In general, [00:30:39] you know, if you, if you talk about [00:30:40] what's. Appealing to you know, it's just a disturbing show of money being thrown around at a I'm still doing it. I'll still look for affordable projects. They're out [00:30:54] there. [00:30:55] Yeah. I mean, yeah. I mean, I think there's affordable projects. It's I, I'm, I'm more wary of, of, of thinking that the market will follow a leading project rather than just that leading project becoming the sort of category filler. And then moving to sort of, what's going to be the next innovative project that that does something different to define. [00:31:17] A project rather than just a lead or follow along with the trend. [00:31:24] Yeah. Well, I mean, what's interesting is that every quarter Massive run-up because one, the Capitol is going to look for another place go with it and throw, throw around. [00:31:34] And there are so many talented founders, leaders, developers, companies that have not [00:31:40] even touched this space yet. And you know, they're coming and there's going to be [00:31:45] opportunities in there. And know, that. that, that is exciting. So I'll, I'll get over my I'll get over my phone. [00:31:52] Eventually and look at, look to project, but man, I don't know, Maybe next time [00:31:58] I, when I, have that high conviction, just, you know, it up and just say like, all right, should I do this? and maybe I'll just trick you into splitting it with me. [00:32:09] All right. Yeah, we've got, I mean, it isn't, these are great wins. If you do win [00:32:12] the the raffles and those [00:32:13] course, I did respect that they did the raffle. that was very [00:32:17] they did, gas. And obviously there were some big winners there. So, you know, I'm a happy for the people that were able to spend the two and a half Yves and now are sitting on a 30 each asset. [00:32:25] So that is that you know, that. Didn't have a lot going into that. We're able now, Ooh, that's a big, that's a big win. So hopefully there are a lot of people that really appreciate that and you know, whether they take it or not you know, that's you know, that's a tough choice, but [00:32:42] yeah. [00:32:43] Good one to have, [00:32:44] Yeah, I had one more note just to call out here is that I get I'm always concerned about the speed and time with which something runs up as and time it takes to run down things that burn fast burn out. so there's, of this coin for sure. And those founders know it though. [00:33:02] I know is very, very savvy in terms of building tech tools And user engagement. As you know, as far as dig your window to execute is, is very [00:33:12] narrow, I would say. And [00:33:14] also the risk of saying like, you know, it took, you know, three, it took one week to get like 36 ease. Okay. I'm much more comfortable if that's like it took three years to get to this point. [00:33:25] Like that's a, sturdier base with people that have been sort of like holding in a competency And tested. You know, the board ape apes and moon birds right now is, is really not a fair at all. But those prices, I imagine, like their minds, they're like, oh yeah, this is like going to be a blue chip stock. Oh yeah. Bloomberg's is blue chip now. And you're like, because prince. [00:33:48] Yeah, I'm sure there are already people putting that in there. And I think price is a dangerous indicator of it being or dangerous sole indicator of something being blue chip. You know, there is a, there is definitely a concern that it. could come down relatively quick. We have seen it in the in the past, not saying it's going to happen. [00:34:06] And I think that. Nesting slash staking mechanism will help some with with a sudden flood of, of listings. You know, that being said, you know, things, things can change in in very quickly and, and FTS. [00:34:25] All right. That's what we got. Hopefully that was helpful. In summary, utility NFTs have not peaked. All utilities have NFD. All, all utilities have NFT, you know, NFTs have utility. [00:34:37] One of those is maybe true, possibly true, but one, well, we'll let you think about it.

June is Men's Health Month, and The Black Doctors Speak Podcast is bringing you an episode all about black men's health in America. Historically and currently, black men's health outcomes are poorer than those of other communities when it comes to life expectancy, morbidity, chronic illnesses and more. A common question that is raised regarding the health of black men is; is the black community responsible for their own poor health outcomes? Or is it the fault of systemic and institutional failures that black people lack the resources to adequately care for their health? These questions and many more will be addressed by the panel of experts in this episode of Black Doctors Speak. Today's first guest is Dr. Oliver Brooks, Past President of the National Medical Association (NMA), Chief Medical Officer at Watts Healthcare, and Medical Director for LA Care Health Plan. Also featured on this episode is Dr. Rodney Hood, who is another Past President of the NMA, an Internal Medical Specialist and Managing Partner of Care View Medical Group. These two experts join Dr. LeNoir and Mr. Ellis Dean of BlackDoctor.Org for a lively and informative discussion of all things related to black men's health! Dr. LeNoir kicks off the episode by discussing the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic as it relates to the Delta strain and it's growing dominance in the United States. The doctors discuss the two-fold importance of receiving the COVID vaccination. Not only are vaccinated people protecting their own health, but they are also protecting the health of their community, families and loved ones. The guests expand on this and why receiving your vaccine is so crucial, especially for members of the black community. Following the COVID-19 updates is a lively discussion on the big questions surrounding black men and health. The experts touch on topics such as food deserts, schooling and education, exercise and racism in healthcare, which can all impact black men's health outcomes. Additionally, they touch on some of the misconceptions that bad lifestyle choices are solely to blame for the poor health seen in the black male community.
