    I really need to help my pitbull with his separation anxiety. My mom leaves him in the other room he will start crying like he’s going to perish right there. It makes me sad and he needs to know it’s ok if he’s not always accessible to her.

    Would I be able to mix both cat and dog pheromones together for them both have a calming environment? Or would one interfere with the other, and completely cancel each other out?

    I, personally, would advise against associating treats with departure., especially in dogs already prone to separation anxiety.

    They might associate the treat with being left alone and it will not be a reward any more.

    The only thing that works is practice, practice, practice. Leave, come back. Leave again. Don’t congratulate the dog for being alone. Your departure and arrivals need to become a natural occurrence and not a “special moment”. Don’t involve treats in this equation.

      Each pheromone product sends signals that only that species can perceive, so you can use both without issue! Keep in mind, a diffuser only covers a certain area. Check the box to ensure you have what you need.

Elias Weiss Friedman, creator of The Dogist, has captured millions of hearts by documenting this unique connection through his journalistic style of dog portraits, which reveal each precious pup’s unique personality. In this photographic tour of his work, he reflects on his global travels documenting humanity’s four-legged best friends — and reminds us of the magical ways dogs make life better. (This conversation was hosted by TED’s Cloe Shasha Brooks.) (Recorded at TEDNext 2024 on October 23, 2024)

Is this body TAF the holy grail for Bitcoin.
It definitely is. I completely agree with all of the comments

that meant earlier and I think the biggest thing is really the
comment around protection of consumers when you have a futures

ETF. Futures inherently trade at a premium to sport. Normally on
average around 5 percent and that can equate to a year and cost

of anywhere between 15 to 20 percent of a premium on that price.
And so when you think about protection of consumers you’re

actually not really getting the best product out there. And so
not just that you know there’s the 90 bit fee on these futures

backed ETF. And so I think even if you compare it to that
grayscale index fund with a 2 percent fee that is still cheaper

all in because it’s spot in the underlying then that future
based ETF.

So is this Holy Grail is approved. How does that change the
crypto market.

Great question. So a lot of this is supply and demand and so
right now we are continued to head into a supply crunch. And so

we have 21 million Bitcoin there being mined every minute every
second every hour. And so being able to lower that supply is

going to have an inherent impact on that price
as opposed to the futures price.

Now it was a relatively quiet week for Bitcoin theorem. On the
other hand really rallying. What do you make of that. Given how

expensive transactions are getting.
I think the largest thing coming out of NAFTA New York City in

the conference this week is really that crypto is just much
larger than finance and you have a ton of applications being

built on top of a theorem and coinciding with the theorem.
Specifically this week you have block chain gaming the media a

ton of investments being poured into metaverse. And so all of
that coincides with their real use cases outside of this

financed bucket that initially crypto is very much associated
with. And it’s almost as I assume you know in the early 1920s we

assumed that tech was this massive bubble. And then you had
fintech e-commerce and media break out into that. I really

expect crypto to do the same outside of just the initial
financial bucket. We had to start.

It’s also been a busy couple of weeks for the metaverse and I’m
curious what you think the role of crypto in the metaverse could

be.
It’s going to be really movement of assets and so I think you

know to today the way I think about it is how do you value your
time. And you know especially if you think about creators. How

do you value things that maybe computers can’t necessarily
generate or you know I think Microsoft CEO also mentioned how do

you value presence and human connection in a different way. And
so I think today being able to use block chain and crypto to

create interoperability and intrinsic rights as mentioned
previously is really going to be important to digitize all of

that in a way that’s more accessible and democratized.
