Podcasts about Cao

On Friday, Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao announced that the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) is returning to the United States as part of a “planned rotation.” Cao's announcement follows weeks of reporting on strained conditions aboard the ship, including food and supply shortages, mental health struggles among sailors, and multiple sailors reportedly attempting to jump overboard. Aside from brief stops in Guam in December and Oman in July, the carrier has been operating for 271 days at sea without its crew taking a port call. The Japan-based USS George Washington (CVN-73) is set to relieve the Lincoln.Ad-free podcasts are here!Get 20% off your first year of ad-free episodes, exclusive interviews, and deep dives with Tangle's podcast membership!The real story of the Reflecting Pool.By now, you've almost certainly heard about the controversy over President Trump's renovations to the Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C.

Astronomy Daily · S05E163 · “The Long Way Home” · Monday 10 August 2026. Sources verified against primary / institutional outlets. Starship “lost at sea” (Flight 13) •    Flight 13 launched 24 July 2026 from Starbase, South Texas; the upper stage (“Ship,” Ship 40, ~52 m) made the softest Starship water landing yet in the Indian Ocean off Western Australia — and, in a program first, survived intact and afloat. •    SpaceX had not planned to recover it. Musk confirmed the salvage attempt on 28 July (“We're sending a ship out to recover Starship”); recovery ship Go Australis was joined by Norwegian tugs Normand Ranger and Skimmer Tide, with a tow line to the nose. •    On 7 August, Musk said recovery is “not looking good right now” in rough seas — but the team had already obtained close-up photos of critical heat-shield and engine regions for future upgrades. A saltwater-soaked Ship was never going to be reflown. •    Heat shield: on SpaceX's first quarterly earnings call (4 August) Musk said he'd “consider the heat-shield problem solved,” long the biggest hurdle to full reuse. •    The flight also deployed 20 next-gen Starlink V3 satellites; the Super Heavy booster had engine trouble and was lost in the Gulf of Mexico. Stacked, Starship stands ~124 m. Flight 14 is targeted for late August — its first attempt at operational orbit with production Starlink. •    Sources: SpaceX / @elonmusk on X (7 Aug); Space.com (Mike Wall, 7 Aug); CNN (3 Aug). Landspace Zhuque-3, second landing attempt •    Landspace (private, Beijing, founded 2015) targets liftoff ~7:45 p.m. EDT Mon 10 Aug (23:45 UTC / ≈9:45 a.m. AEST Tue 11 Aug) from Jiuquan, aiming for a propulsive first-stage recovery on legs (Falcon 9-style), landing downrange in Gansu. •    The methalox, stainless-steel Zhuque-3 (~66 m) is broadly a Falcon 9 rival. Its Dec 2025 maiden flight reached orbit but the first stage failed its landing burn and crashed. •    Accuracy note: this is China's fourth orbital-class recovery attempt. A Long March 10B already landed via net-capture on 10 July (China became the 2nd nation to land an orbital booster) — so tonight would make Landspace the first Chinese company to attempt a propulsive/landing-legs recovery, not “China's first.” •    Sources: Space.com (7 Aug); Yahoo/Space (7 Aug); launch trackers (NOTAM-based). Uranus's “breathing” bow shock •    New multifluid-MHD modelling shows Uranus's bow shock expands and contracts over a single ~17-hour Uranian day — driven by the planet's own extreme rotation and tilted, offset magnetic field, not by changes in the solar wind. •    The model is constrained by Voyager 2's 1986 flyby — still the only direct measurements ever taken inside the Uranian system (a nice callback to E159's Voyager 2 “Big Bang” lead). •    Implications for future ice-giant missions and for the many ice-giant exoplanets now being found. Cao et al., AGU Advances; surfaced via an Eos research spotlight this week. (Framed as newly-spotlighted rather than newly-published.) •    Sources: AGU Advances (Cao et al.); Eos research spotlight; phys.org (7 Aug). Total solar eclipse — 12 August 2026 •    The only total solar eclipse of 2026. Unusual over-the-pole path: Arctic Siberia → eastern Greenland → western Iceland → northern Spain (clipping NE Portugal) → the Balearics at sunset. •    Greatest eclipse ≈17:46 UTC; max totality 2 min 18 s just off Iceland's west coast, with the Sun only ~26° high. Iceland's first total eclipse since 1954 (Reykjavik's first in 593 years); Spain's first since 1905. •    North America sees a partial across the northern tier (Alaska to North Carolina) and most of Canada — deepest in the far north, a shallow bite (

VOV1 - Những bức ảnh bị phai mờ sau hơn 50 năm nằm sâu trong lòng đất vừa được Đội K72 cẩn trọng thu thập tại xã Minh Đức, TP. Đồng Nai và nhờ các bạn trẻ phục dựng. Từ những di ảnh vừa được hồi sinh, một hành trình đong đầy hy vọng đang mở ra là tìm lại tên tuổi và đưa các anh trở về với gia đình.Những di vật biết nói dưới lòng đấtTrong đợt tìm kiếm, quy tập hài cốt liệt sĩ tại lô cao su 97, thuộc nông trường Cao su Bình Long, xã Minh Đức, TP. Đồng Nai (trước là huyện Hớn Quản, tỉnh Bình Phước), các cán bộ, chiến sĩ Đội K72 thuộc Bộ Chỉ huy Quân sự TP. Đồng Nai đã có những giây phút nghẹn ngào.Tại một hầm mộ quy tập được 4 hài cốt liệt sĩ, bên cạnh cây bút khắc dòng chữ “Tiến Quy”, lực lượng chức năng phát hiện một bức ảnh tập thể. Ở một hầm mộ khác có 3 hài cốt, trong chiếc ví đã sờn cũ của người nằm xuống cũng cất giữ một tấm di ảnh cá nhân.Nằm dưới lòng đất hơn nửa thế kỷ, các tài liệu, giấy tờ và ảnh chụp đều đã bị mục rã, phai mờ. Bằng tình cảm và sự tri ân sâu sắc, các cán bộ, chiến sĩ Đội K72 đã vô cùng tỉ mỉ, nâng niu từng mảnh di vật để tránh bị rách hỏng, đồng thời lập tức chụp lưu lại hình ảnh trước khi không khí làm hư hại thêm.Chia sẻ về khoảnh khắc đặc biệt này, Đại úy Nguyễn Vũ Huy, Phân đội trưởng Phân đội 2, Đội K72 nghẹn ngào: "Khi đào tìm mà phát hiện hài cốt và các di vật của các liệt sĩ, cán bộ, chiến sĩ chúng tôi bồi hồi, xúc động ở trong đó. Tự bảo nhau làm việc thực là tỉ mỉ, nhẹ nhàng, di vật và hài cốt đem về cho thân nhân liệt sĩ nhận dạng. Đối với những hình ảnh vừa rồi, tôi hi vọng là truyền thông rộng rãi để thân nhân kịp thời nắm bắt và nhận dạng được liệt sĩ của mình."Hồi sinh di ảnh, nối lại nhịp cầu ký ứcNgay sau khi tiếp cận và lưu giữ các hình ảnh, Đội K72 đã nhanh chóng phối hợp cùng các cộng tác viên, những bạn trẻ giàu tâm huyết để tiến hành phục dựng.Từ những tấm hình mờ nhòe của thời gian, qua công nghệ và sự trân trọng của thế hệ trẻ, hình ảnh các chiến sĩ năm xưa đã trở nên rõ nét.Tấm ảnh tập thể được tìm thấy dưới hầm mộ có 4 liệt sĩ

For most of the last century, gardeners were taught to cultivate their soil after every rain to conserve moisture, to think of plant roots as lone competitors, and to treat "plant communication" as science fiction. All of that was built on the best evidence available at the time, and all of it has been revised, in some cases more than once, as better tools let researchers see what earlier generations simply could not. In this episode, we walk through four real case studies of plant science changing its mind. Along the way, we talk about how the scientific method works, why one of my favorite phrases, "we don't know what we don't know," is not a discouraging idea but an exciting one, and what all of this means for the choices you make in your own garden each season, now and into the future.

Halifax's old CAO Cathie O'Toole quit a while ago, and Halifax's long-suffering public servant Brad Anguish has been filling in until a suitable replacement could be found. Well, that replacement was found! Marnie Cluckie, the former CAO of Hamilton, will be Halifax's new CAO come September, and in order to find out what to expect from the new CAO, Matt Stickland interviews Joey Coleman, a city hall reporter in Hamilton, to get a bit of a scouting report.

En este episodio nos adentramos en una de las estructuras más fascinantes y peor simplificadas del sistema nervioso: el tálamo. Durante años se nos ha enseñado como una gran “estación de relevo sensitiva”, pero esa metáfora se queda corta. El tálamo no solo transmite información hacia la corteza: la filtra, la organiza, la modula y participa en el estado funcional en el que esa información llega al cerebro consciente. A lo largo del episodio recorremos su historia, su lugar dentro del diencéfalo, sus principales núcleos y su papel en sensibilidad, visión, audición, movimiento, memoria, atención, cognición y conciencia. Pero el episodio no se queda en la anatomía clásica. Entramos también en la neurofisiología moderna del tálamo: entradas drivers y modulators, núcleos de primer orden y de orden superior, bucles cortico-tálamo-corticales, modos de disparo tónico y en ráfaga. Finalmente, aterrizamos todo en clínica: ictus talámicos, dolor central, afasia talámica, negligencia, alteraciones cognitivas, trastornos del movimiento, arteria de Percheron, mesocircuito de Schiff y la idea central del episodio: el tálamo enferma como nodo, no como simple estación.

James and Jimmy sit down with Tim Ozgener of Oz Family Cigars at The Drawing Room in Davenport, Iowa. The trio discuss Tim's creativity, his history in the cigar industry, and the impact his father had on him. From his days with CAO to coming back to the industry, Tim dives into what lessons he learned, what his father taught him, his family, and working with retailers.

In this episode we speak with Alon Goren from UC San Diego about his work at the intersection of genomic technology development and chromatin biology. We discuss how his lab studies how the epigenome is regulated, how disruption of that regulation contributes to disease, and how technology can be improved to make results more robust and reproducible. We talk about his early interest in biology, how that developed through medical research training, and how a molecular biology lab shaped the direction of his career. He explains how curiosity about how cells and organisms work led him toward genomics and chromatin research. We then discuss several methods from his career, including early direct sequencing approaches for small amounts of DNA and RNA, ChIP-based methods for chromatin regulators, and work on improving ChIP-seq workflows. He explains why antibody choice matters, why monoclonal antibodies can improve reproducibility, and how automation helped scale the process. We also cover his work on spike-in normalization, including the risks of using exogenous chromatin incorrectly and the need for better safeguards in genome-wide comparisons. He describes a newer approach that uses two spike-ins to provide multiple checks on normalization. Finally, we discuss his work on short tandem repeats, zebrafish heart regeneration, and SIRT6-related polymerase pausing, as well as a newer platform that converts molecular interactions into sequencing-readable barcodes. He closes by stressing the importance of validation, careful protocol design, and methods that can be used reliably by multiple people.

In this episode, Howard Farran welcomes back Dr. Densen Cao — physicist, prolific inventor, and founder and CEO of CAO Group and AMD Lasers — for his first return to the show in eight years. Mentored early in his career by Dr. Gordon and Dr. Rella Christensen, Dr. Cao has spent decades developing disruptive dental technologies at the intersection of physics, materials science, and clinical dentistry. The heart of the conversation is his newly released LEAP procedure (Laser Endodontic Ablation Procedure), unveiled at AAE 2026 after five years of FDA review and more than 100 U.S. cases. Dr. Cao explains why disinfection — not obturation — is the true key to root canal success, and how LEAP uses a low-energy diode laser to ablate residual tissue and bacteria, paired with a proprietary LEAP solution of chlorhexidine and ethanol to reach the fins and side canals. The result, he says, is a five-nines (99.999%) bacteria reduction achieved in live patients, with an independent clinical study by Dr. Rella Christensen now underway. The discussion then moves to prevention, where Dr. Cao introduces his caries risk testing strips — which measure salivary pH and buffer capacity with a simple lick — and "Cavity Fighter" mints designed to neutralize acid and remineralize enamel during the critical window after eating. Along the way, Howard and Dr. Cao explore why a small percentage of people never get cavities, the impact of vaping and dry mouth on caries risk, the physics of curing lights, and the history behind AMD Lasers. The episode closes with Dr. Cao's reflections on COVID and disinfection, the future of AI in dentistry, and what a lifetime in physics has taught him about trusting science and data above all.   Episode #1711 : Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran, Howard welcomes back his friend Dr. Densen Cao — physicist, inventor, and founder & CEO of CAO Group and AMD Lasers — eight years after his first appearance. From a groundbreaking new laser root canal disinfection procedure (LEAP) that just earned FDA clearance, to caries risk strips and "Cavity Fighter" mints that could change how we prevent decay, Dr. Cao shares what happens when a physicist tackles dentistry's oldest problems.

VOV1 - Trong nỗ lực giảm phụ thuộc vào dầu thô nhập khẩu và thúc đẩy chuyển đổi năng lượng, Ấn Độ đang thúc đẩy sản xuất các dòng xe sử dụng nhiên liệu linh hoạt (flex-fuel), có khả năng vận hành với hỗn hợp xăng sinh học pha trộn ethanol với tỷ lệ lên tới 85%.Phát biểu tại lễ ra mắt các mẫu xe máy nhiên liệu linh hoạt (flex-fuel) đầu tiên của Hero MotoCorp ở thủ đô New Delhi, Bộ trưởng Dầu khí Ấn Độ Hardeep Singh Puri cho rằng xe nhiên liệu linh hoạt là giải pháp thiết thực để giảm nhập khẩu dầu thô, thúc đẩy giao thông phát thải thấp và tăng cường sức sống cho kinh tế nông thôn.Ông Puri mô tả sự kiện ra mắt 2 mẫu xe máy nhiên liệu linh hoạt (Splendor+ và HF Deluxe Flex Fuel) là “một chương mới trong lịch sử năng lượng của Ấn Độ”, đánh dấu bước tiến của nước này vào thị trường xe nhiên liệu linh hoạt đại chúng. Các mẫu xe mới này có thể sử dụng mọi loại hỗn hợp xăng - ethanol từ E20 đến E85.Theo Bộ trưởng, Ấn Độ hiện sở hữu hơn 300 triệu xe hai bánh đang lưu hành, một trong những hệ sinh thái xe máy lớn nhất thế giới. Điều này tạo điều kiện để công nghệ nhiên liệu linh hoạt được triển khai trên quy mô lớn.“Bây giờ, tôi xin đưa ra một vài con số tính toán cơ bản. Về chiếc xe chạy bằng nhiên liệu E85 vừa ra mắt hôm nay và nếu xăng E85 được đưa vào sử dụng và được cung cấp tại các trạm bơm xăng được chỉ định, tôi có thể chia sẻ với qu‎ vị xăng E85 sẽ rẻ hơn đáng kể so với nhiên liệu thông thường. Và nếu 1% doanh số bán xe xăng hàng năm ở Ấn Độ được thay thế bằng E85, thì điều này tạo ra nhu cầu hơn 40 triệu lít ethanol. Ước tính sẽ có gần 2,6 tỷ Rupee – khoảng 30 triệu USD, được thanh toán cho các nhà máy chưng cất ethanol. Chúng ta sẽ tiết kiệm được khoảng 1,95 tỷ Rupee tiền ngoại tệ; giảm được khoảng 28.000 tấn dầu thô nhập khẩu. Lượng giảm phát thải CO2 ròng lên tới gần 86.000 tấn và gần 1,6 tỷ Rupee sẽ chảy trực tiếp vào túi người nông dân.”Ông Puri cho rằng nhiên liệu E85 có nhiều lợi thế so với các giải pháp thay thế khác, bao gồm chi phí sản xuất phương tiện thấp hơn, yêu cầu đầu tư hạ tầng thấp và tốc độ triển khai nhanh hơn đáng kể so với mạng lưới xe điện. Trong khi đó, xe điện vẫn phụ thuộc đáng kể vào chuỗi cung ứng pin và linh kiện nhập khẩu.Theo Bộ trưởng Dầu khí Ấn Độ, phương tiện sử dụng nhiên liệu sinh học linh hoạt sản xuất trong nước giúp giảm phụ thuộc vào năng lượng nhập khẩu và tạo đầu ra ổn định cho nông sản dùng làm nguyên liệu sản xuất ethanol. Ông cũng cho biết Chính phủ đang xem xét các chính sách hỗ trợ, bao gồm trợ giá nhiên liệu E85 và các ưu đãi có mục tiêu nhằm đẩy nhanh việc phổ cập công nghệ này. E85 dự kiến sẽ có giá thấp hơn đáng kể so với xăng thông thường để tạo động lực cho người tiêu dùng chuyển đổi sang phương tiện nhiên liệu linh hoạt.Cùng tham dự sự kiện, Bộ trưởng Giao thông Đường bộ và Cao tốc Nitin Gadkari nhận định Ấn Độ, với vị thế là thị trường xe hai bánh lớn nhất thế giới, có nhiều điều kiện để trở thành quốc gia đi đầu trong lĩnh vực giao thông sử dụng nhiên liệu linh hoạt. Theo ông, công nghệ này có thể giúp giảm tới 77% lượng phát thải so với nhiên liệu hóa thạch truyền thống./.Đình Nam/VOV Ấn ĐộBộ trưởng Dầu khí Ấn Độ Hardeep Singh Puri (trái) và Bộ trưởng Giao thông Đường bộ và Cao tốc Nitin Gadkari (phải) tại lễ ra mắt.

Do you think AI will have an impact on science? You are wrong. It will not–it already does. The annual International Conference on Information Systems received over 1,000 more paper submissions this year. Our main journals report a 20%, 40%, or even 100% increase in submission numbers. This could be great if these papers were good, if we simply saw more and better research being produced. Problem is: We don't. What we see is an AI slop tsunami of less readable papers, hastily produced, with marginal insights if any. How should we handle this situation? We discuss a few possible levers on the supply and demand side of research that we as a field could implement. References Gartenberg, C., Hasan, S., Murray, A., & Pierce, L. (2026).

Taking the non-traditional path to leadership does not necessarily mean failure – sometimes, it is exactly what you need to unleash your fullest potential. Jack McCullough sits down with Kate Gulliver, CFO and CAO of Wayfair, who shares the story of her unconventional yet inspiring road to a C-level position. She talks about the most valuable lessons she learned from her mentors, how she maintains a work-life balance despite her hectic schedule, and how she keeps a meaningful relationship with her CEO. Kate also discusses the biggest advantages of Wayfair's technology-driven asset-light marketplace model that connects consumers with suppliers at scale.

In this episode Divya speaks with Rachel Carmenta, Associate Professor of Climate Change and International Development at the University of East Anglia. They discuss Rachel's recent work on the poverty–biodiversity loss association (PBLA) and the idea of connected conservation. In this scholarship, Rachel and her colleagues critically examine how mainstream conservation narratives have often framed poor and rural communities as drivers of biodiversity decline, while overlooking the larger structural forces, such as extractive industries, unsustainable patterns of consumption, and unequal political and economic systems, that are central to environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. They also discuss how poverty is often reduced to income deprivation and how that framing has made conservation and development programs to focus heavily on cash-based incentives and payment schemes. Rachel argues that poverty is way more than income deprivation; instead, it must be understood as multidimensional, encompassing wellbeing, dignity, health, education, security, and access to social services. This broader understanding challenges narrow approaches to both poverty alleviation and conservation governance. Another important theme in their discussion is connected conservation, which emphasizes the interconnected relationships between people, ecosystems, livelihoods, cultural practices, and local knowledge systems, rather than viewing conservation and human wellbeing as separate or competing goals. In this context, Rachel reflects on biocultural conservation and the importance of recognizing the ways communities live with, care for, and understand their environments and what these relationships can teach us about more just and meaningful approaches to conservation in a rapidly changing world.

VOV1 - Viện Nghiên cứu Cao nguyên Thanh Tạng, Trung Quốc, ngày 21/5 công bố một nghiên cứu cho thấy hiện tượng nóng lên toàn cầu có thể làm gia tăng đáng kể phát thải methane từ các vùng đất ngập nước tự nhiên, qua đó tạo thêm sức ép đối với nỗ lực kiểm soát biến đổi khí hậu trên phạm vi toàn cầu.Theo thông tin được phía Trung Quốc công bố, nhóm nghiên cứu do các nhà khoa học Trương Trăn và Lý Tân phối hợp với các cộng sự quốc tế thực hiện đã lần đầu xây dựng được một khung đánh giá xác suất đối với mức gia tăng phát thải methane từ đất ngập nước trong tương lai. Trên cơ sở sử dụng mô hình hệ sinh thái trên cạn tiên tiến cùng dữ liệu quan trắc đất ngập nước toàn cầu, nghiên cứu đã định lượng khả năng xảy ra phản hồi methane từ đất ngập nước trong bối cảnh nhiệt độ Trái Đất tiếp tục tăng.Kết quả cho thấy, trong kịch bản phát thải cao, đến những năm 2030, lượng methane phát sinh thêm từ các vùng đất ngập nước tự nhiên có 90% khả năng sẽ làm giảm hiệu quả từ 8% đến 10% mục tiêu cắt giảm methane do con người đặt ra hiện nay trên toàn cầu. Xa hơn, đến cuối thế kỷ 21, lượng phát thải methane từ đất ngập nước có thể tăng thêm từ 50% đến 60% so với mức hiện tại.Methane là một trong những khí nhà kính quan trọng nhất, chỉ đứng sau CO2 về vai trò đối với biến đổi khí hậu. Tuy nhiên, trong khung thời gian 20 năm, tác động làm nóng của methane được đánh giá mạnh hơn hơn 80 lần so với CO2. Đây cũng là lý do khiến việc kiểm soát phát thải methane ngày càng trở thành một nội dung quan trọng trong các chính sách khí hậu quốc tế.Để đưa ra kết luận trên, nhóm nghiên cứu đã triển khai chương trình so sánh các mô hình methane đất ngập nước trong tương lai, tập hợp 7 mô hình chủ đạo trên thế giới. Kết quả mô phỏng cho thấy cứ mỗi khi nhiệt độ trung bình trên đất liền toàn cầu tăng thêm 1 độ C, lượng methane phát thải từ đất ngập nước có thể tăng trung bình từ 14 triệu đến 34 triệu tấn mỗi năm. Đáng chú ý, khoảng 68% lượng phát thải bổ sung trong tương lai được xác định sẽ đến từ các khu vực nhiệt đới.Các nhà khoa học cho rằng kết quả nghiên cứu cung cấp thêm cơ sở khoa học quan trọng cho việc hoạch định chính sách giảm phát thải methane và ứng phó với biến đổi khí hậu. Đồng thời, nghiên cứu cũng cho thấy nhu cầu cấp thiết phải mở rộng mạng lưới quan trắc dài hạn tại các khu vực nhiệt đới và vùng cao lạnh, kết hợp với công nghệ viễn thám vệ tinh thế hệ mới nhằm nâng cao năng lực giám sát, dự báo và ứng phó với những phản hồi khí hậu ngày càng phức tạp./.Trung Kiên/VOV Bắc KinhSơ đồ minh họa quá trình phát thải khí methane ở vùng đất ngập nước và các kỹ thuật quan sát được sử dụng trong nghiên cứu này.

The subject of whether you should top your pepper plants can bring on a pretty strong debate among gardeners. That's because this is one of those topics where the answer genuinely is: it depends. And I mean that in a very specific, evidence-based way that comes down to two things: your climate and your pepper type. I'll be straight with you, I do not top my peppers. We are in a zone 6b in west central Missouri and our season is just short enough that for our large sweet peppers, by the time a topped plant recovered and loaded up with new fruit, I'd be in a race with the first frost, so I don't love my odds of winning. And for our smaller peppers, both hot and sweet, they branch naturally. They've never needed my help getting bushy and they generally end up so loaded with fruit there's no need for me to create new growing points. But that does NOT mean topping is wrong. In fact, if your growing season is long enough and you are growing the right type of pepper, there is a solid, research-grounded argument for it and I want to make that argument fairly today.

VOV1 - Những ngày này, khi dòng người tấp nập về quê sum vầy bên gia đình hoặc bắt đầu những chuyến du lịch trong kỳ nghỉ lễ 30/4 - 1/5, trên công trường tuyến Cao tốc Châu Đốc - Cần Thơ - Sóc Trăng, nhiều công nhân vẫn lặng lẽ bám trụ.Giữa cái nắng gay gắt của miền Tây, áo bảo hộ thấm đẫm mồ hôi, nhưng nhịp thi công vẫn không ngơi nghỉ

Tanya Jones, Head of the National Tertiary Office, announces 32 new third-level courses outside of the CAO system, including primary school teaching.

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy light up the CAO Arcana Stokk Belicoso, a limited-edition 6.5x52 cigar with a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and a distinctive filler blend that includes Cyprian Latakia pipe tobacco. The guys talk through the cigar’s odd-looking band, excellent draw, near-perfect burn, and the challenge of pinning down a flavor profile that seems to move between pepper, wood, tea, and a smoky note that keeps getting more interesting as the cigar develops. They also spend time digging into what makes a cigar worth revisiting, why construction matters just as much as flavor, and whether this CAO earns a spot in the humidor at around $13 a stick. Also in this Happy Hour episode: another round of Gas Station Finds with Pop Daddy Birthday Cake Popcorn, which somehow turns out to be both gimmicky and surprisingly good, plus talk about family-farm popcorn, sweet snack regret, and how close a man can get to accidentally eating an entire bag. It’s cigars, snack food, palate talk, and the completely unnecessary honesty that makes Eat, Drink, Smoke Happy Hour what it is.

VOV1 - Ukraine vừa sửa chữa xong đường ống vận chuyển dầu của Nga đến châu Âu Druzhba bị hư hại hồi đầu năm và sẵn sàng nối lại việc cung cấp, động thái này nhằm gỡ bỏ trở ngại mà nước này hy vọng là rào cản cuối cùng để nhận được đảm bảo khoản hỗ trợ hàng chục tỷ euro từ Brussels. Đường ống dẫn dầu này đã trở thành tâm điểm của cuộc đối đầu giữa Hungary và Slovakia với Ukraine, vì hai nước vẫn phụ thuộc phần lớn vào việc nhập khẩu dầu của Nga qua đường ống này. Theo một số nguồn tin, Ukraine có thể nối lại việc bơm dầu của Nga sang hai nước EU ngay khi nhận được yêu cầu chính thức.Nhà lãnh đạo theo chủ nghĩa dân tộc sắp mãn nhiệm của Hungary, Viktor Orban, đã trì hoãn khoản vay trị giá 90 tỷ euro cho Ukraine của EU như một chiến lược nhằm gây áp lực buộc Ukraine phải sửa chữa và nối lại đường ống dẫn nhiên liệu này. Tuy nhiên, thất bại của ông trong cuộc bầu cử hồi đầu tháng này được xem là bước mở đường cho việc giải ngân số tiền đó.Trong tuyên bố trên mạng xã hội, Tổng thống Ukraine Zelensky cho biết Ukraine đã hoàn thành công tác sửa chữa đoạn đường ống dẫn dầu Druzhba bị hư hại và sẵn sàng hoạt động trở lại. Ông cũng không hề che giấu lập trường phản đối mạnh mẽ việc một số thành viên EU vẫn mua dầu của Nga. Ngay sau khi xác nhận việc sửa chữa đã hoàn tất, Tổng thống Ukraine đã trao đổi với Chủ tịch Ủy ban châu Âu Ursula von der Leyen về tương lai của khoản vay 90 tỷ euro bị trì hoãn từ lâu và nhấn mạnh việc cần gây áp lực trừng phạt lên Nga cũng như cần nỗ lực đa dạng  hóa nguồn cung năng lượng cho châu Âu. Tiếp đó, Cao ủy phụ trách chính sách đối ngoại của EU, Kaja Kallas, cho biết EU kỳ vọng sẽ đạt được thỏa thuận trong vòng 24 giờ tới.Hải Đăng/VOV-PrahaTải vềPlayMuteRemaining Time -1:17Ảnh: Reuters

"We need an answer by the end of the day." Ten words. And the moment you hear them, something shifts inside your chest. Your pulse ticks up. Your focus narrows. Careful thinking stops. The clock starts. You probably haven't even asked the most important question yet. Is that deadline real? Most of the urgency you feel every day is fake. Manufactured by someone who benefits from you deciding fast instead of deciding well. Most people can't tell a real deadline from a manufactured one. By the end of this, you will. Let's get into it. What Time Pressure Actually Does to Your Brain Last episode, we talked about decision fatigue. How your brain degrades over a long day. Time pressure is different. Fatigue is a slow drain. Time pressure is a switch. When the clock is ticking, your brain stops analyzing and starts reacting. Normally, the front of your brain runs the show: careful analysis, weighing trade-offs, long-term thinking. Under time pressure, a faster, older, more emotional region takes over. You don't feel less accurate. You feel more confident. Decades of decision science research have found that under time pressure, people's confidence in their decisions goes up while their actual accuracy goes down. You're not just thinking worse. You're thinking worse while being more sure you're right. That false confidence makes you predictably worse at three specific things. Evaluating trade-offs. You lock onto whichever side your gut grabs first. Considering consequences beyond the immediate. Second-order thinking goes offline. Recognizing what you don't know. Because you feel certain, you stop looking for what you're missing. And that's exactly what manufactured urgency is designed to exploit. This is mindjacking in its purest form. Someone engineers the pressure, your brain switches modes, and you make their decision instead of yours. The Urgency Trap: Real vs. Manufactured Not all time pressure is the same. Some deadlines are real. Your tax filing date is real. The board meeting on Thursday is real. The patient who needs a decision in the next ten minutes? That's real. These deadlines exist because of actual constraints in the world, not because someone manufactured them. A huge portion of the urgency you experience? It's engineered. "This offer expires at midnight." Really? Will the company stop wanting your money tomorrow? "We need your decision today." Why today? What actually changes between today and Wednesday? Manufactured urgency is one of the most effective persuasion tools ever invented. Countdown timers on websites that reset when you refresh the page. "Limited time" sales that somehow run every month. Negotiators who invent deadlines because pressure extracts concessions. Manufactured urgency is everywhere. And it works because of what we just covered. Time pressure flips you into fast-decision mode. When someone engineers urgency, they're not just rushing you. They're changing which part of your mind makes the call. The decisions that actually shape your career almost never show up with a countdown timer. The urgency trap pulls your attention to whatever is loudest, while the ones that matter sit quietly in the background. Until it's too late. Five Tests for Manufactured Urgency How do you tell the difference? I use five tests. Test One: The Source Test. Ask yourself: who benefits from me deciding quickly? If the answer is "the person creating the deadline," that's a red flag. Real deadlines serve the situation. Fake deadlines serve the person imposing them. The car salesperson who says "this price is only good today"? That deadline serves the dealership, not you. The surgeon who says "we need to operate within the hour"? That deadline serves the patient. Test Two: The Consequence Test. Ask: what actually happens if I wait? Not what I'm told will happen. What actually happens. "The offer expires." Does it? What would happen if you called back next week? In most cases, the offer magically reappears. Real deadlines have real, verifiable consequences. Manufactured ones have threats that evaporate on contact. Test Three: The History Test. Has this "urgent" situation happened before? If the company has run "ending soon" promotions every month for a year, that's not urgency. That's a business model. If a colleague marks everything "urgent" in their emails, that's not urgency. That's a habit. Test Four: The Reversibility Test. This one builds on our earlier work in the series. How reversible is this decision? If you can cancel, return, or renegotiate, urgency matters less. But if the decision is hard to reverse, like a long-term contract or a major hire, artificial urgency is especially dangerous. The less reversible the decision, the more suspicious you should be of anyone rushing you. Test Five: The Separation Test. Remove yourself from the pressure source and check if the urgency survives. Step out of the room. Sleep on it. Call back tomorrow. Real urgency persists when you leave. Manufactured urgency dissolves. You don't need all five to spot fake urgency. Two or three is usually enough. And once you start applying these tests, something shifts. You realize how much of the urgency in your life was never yours to begin with. I've watched this happen with more than one friend. A cancer diagnosis. Doctors giving them a timeline. And in every case, the same thing happened. Not panic. Clarity. Every manufactured urgency in their lives just fell away. The stuff that didn't matter stopped getting their attention. The stuff that did got all of it. They're well past the timelines their doctors gave them. The outlook is good. But the clarity never went away. They don't need the five tests. They already know which pressure is real. Most of us won't get that kind of forced clarity. So we need tools to create it for ourselves. When "I Need More Time" Is the Problem Everything I just said could become a very sophisticated excuse to never decide anything. "I need more time to think about it" is sometimes wisdom. And sometimes it's avoidance wearing wisdom's clothes. They feel identical from the inside. And that's what makes this so difficult. Recognizing avoidance in yourself is one of the hardest skills in this entire series. We spent all of Episode 10 on it because there's no quick trick for telling the two apart. If you haven't watched that one, I'd recommend going back to it. For this episode, the key connection is this: manufactured urgency and avoidance are opposite problems that feed each other. The more you've been burned by fake deadlines, the more justified "I need more time" feels. And the more you default to delay, the more vulnerable you become when real urgency hits. But watch for this: if you're using the Five Tests to justify delay rather than to evaluate urgency, that's avoidance borrowing the language of skepticism. The tests are meant to help you evaluate the deadline, not to give you another reason to avoid the decision. Calibrating Speed to Stakes So how do you calibrate between moving too fast and waiting too long? Jeff Bezos talks about one-way and two-way door decisions. I've expanded that into what I call the Stakes-Reversibility Grid. Two questions: How much does this matter? And how hard is it to undo? Low stakes, easy to reverse. Which project management tool to try. Where to hold the offsite. What to order for lunch. Decide immediately. These are the decisions people waste hours on that deserve minutes. High stakes, easy to reverse. A new marketing campaign. A pilot program. A hire with a 90-day probation period. Decide quickly, but build in a review date. You can course-correct, so speed matters more than perfection. Low stakes, hard to reverse. The subscription you never cancel. The small clause in a contract nobody reads. These are sneaky. They don't feel important, so you rush. But they're hard to undo, so they accumulate. High stakes, hard to reverse. A merger. A long-term contract. Shutting down a product line. This is where you slow down. This is where you deploy every test for manufactured urgency. This is where anyone rushing you should make you suspicious. Most people get this backwards. They spend weeks picking a laptop and fifteen minutes reviewing an employment contract. The grid fixes that. Be fast on what doesn't matter so you have the bandwidth to be slow on what does. From Knowing to Doing Early in my career, I watched all of this play out in a single conversation. I was negotiating a major technology partnership. The other side's lead negotiator dropped this line: "We need a signed term sheet by Friday or we're moving to the next candidate." Friday was two days away. I felt the shift. That tightening in my chest, that narrowing of focus. My brain immediately started racing toward "how do we make this work by Friday?" Not "should we?" Not "are these the right terms?" Just speed. Then I caught it. Source Test: who benefits from this Friday deadline? They did. We were their preferred partner and they knew it. Consequence Test: what actually happens if we miss Friday? They go to a backup they'd already passed over once. So I said: "We're serious about this partnership and we want to get the terms right. We'll have our response by next Wednesday." Pause. Then: "Okay." The deadline was never real. That's what this skill gives you. Not the ability to stall. Not the excuse to avoid commitment. The judgment to know which pressure deserves your speed and which deserves your skepticism. Next time you feel that tightening in your chest, that rush to decide, run two tests before you respond. The Source Test: who benefits from me deciding fast? The Consequence Test: what actually happens if I wait? You don't need all five every time. Those two alone will catch most manufactured urgency before it catches you. That's not indecisiveness. That's intelligence. Closing In Episode 10, we tackled uncertainty. In Episode 11, depletion. Now you can spot manufactured urgency. But there's a pressure harder to resist than any deadline. A room full of people who've already made up their minds, and they all disagree with you. The CEO nods. The team nods. Everyone nods. And you're sitting there thinking, "They're wrong." What do you do with that? That's next time. Subscribe so you don't miss it. Before You Go You've got the Source Test and the Consequence Test. Use them this week. Then drop a comment and tell me: what's the most obvious manufactured deadline you've ever seen through? I want to hear these stories. If mindjacking is a new concept for you, I've got a full episode that breaks down how your thinking gets hijacked, sometimes by outside forces, sometimes by yourself. Link's below. For those who want to support the work and the team behind these episodes, you can become a paid subscriber on Substack. That link is below too. Share this with someone who needs to hear it. We all know someone who either rushes every decision or can never pull the trigger. I'll see you in the next one.   Sources and References:  Less deliberation time leads to higher confidence (inverse relationship): Smith, J.F., Mitchell, T.R. & Beach, L.R. (1982).
