This week on Sinica, a rare treat: an in-person recording from Beijing with two dear friends who happen to be two of the very best in the business on technology and China — Samm Sacks and Paul Triolo, fresh off the exhibition floor of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. We dig into Xi Jinping's first in-person WAIC appearance and his most extensive statement on AI to date, the launch of the World AI Cooperation Organization, Moonshot's release of Kimi K3, the Trump administration's reported push to shut Chinese open-weight models out of the U.S. market, the coming age of agents, the untranslatable problem of ānquán, and what to expect from the first U.S.-China AI dialogue in September.8:51 – The view from the floor: heat, humidity, robot boxing grandmas, WeChat-gated free water, and the "AI+" vibe — why WAIC 2026 felt less like an AI conference than a sector-by-sector snapshot of China's entire economy being supercharged with AI, with attendance swelling to some 200,000 tickets16:32 – Why Xi showed up: what the leader's first in-person WAIC appearance and his most extensive AI statement to date signal, and why domestic drivers matter as much as geopolitics18:01 – Chapter and verse: which phrases from the speech will be put to work in the system — "secure and orderly development" and the governance of agents, and Xi's strikingly extensive language on AI safety after China was frozen out of the Paris process22:26 – The ānquán problem: one word meaning both "safety" and "security," the three buckets of AI risk, and how China's safety community has moved from bias and deepfakes toward CBRN and loss-of-control concerns — Black Mirror versus Star Trek28:14 – Shanghai's baby: how WAIC's ownership structure differs from the CAC-run World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, Chen Jining's very visible host duties, and whether the center of gravity in AI policy is shifting to the Yangtze River Delta30:05 – WAICO: what the new World AI Cooperation Organization with its 29 founding members is actually for, Xi's concrete deliverables for the Global South — 5,000 AI training slots, regional cooperation centers, the MAZU early-warning system — and healthy skepticism about follow-through34:39 – Kimi K3: what's technically significant in Moonshot's big new model, why it's the fourth arguably frontier-class Chinese release in a single month, the two-way traffic in distillation accusations, and what it all says about the state of the frontier gap four years into export controls40:33 – Washington reacts: the reported menu of options for shutting Chinese open-weight models out of the U.S. — entity listings, a draft executive order, supply-chain security authorities — and why none of the tools actually fit the problem49:36 – Strange bedfellows: David Sacks versus the "closed lab duopoly," the FUD strategy, why some 80% of Andreessen Horowitz portfolio companies reportedly run on Chinese open models, and how gating U.S. frontier models while Chinese weights flow freely supercharges the AI sovereignty argument worldwide54:55 – The model is infrastructure, the agent is the product: the ByteDance–ZTE agentic phone, the CAC's new initiative on agent trust and interoperability, and why agents fused into operating systems upend both super-app walled gardens and China's data protection regime1:02:27 – An exegesis of kěkòng: the many meanings of "controllable," the long history of ānquán kěkòng in Chinese tech policy, and the unanswered question of who — CAC, NDRC, or somebody new — actually owns AI safety in either system1:08:54 – The road to September: what to expect from the first U.S.-China AI dialogue, why Mythos tops the Chinese grievance list, the securitization feedback loop that starves trust-and-safety advocates of resources on both sides, and why recursive self-improvement makes this feel like a last, best chancePaying It ForwardPaul nominates Tony Peng, whose Substack RecodeChinaAI offers sharp, well-written analysis of the application side of China's AI industry — part of an impressive new generation of independent China tech writers. Samm gives a shout-out to Professor Zhu Yue of Tongji University Law School, published in Science and doing pioneering work at the intersection of disability law and AI law.RecommendationsSamm: The Land and Its People by David Sedaris — laugh-out-loud funny, especially the "Enough is Enough" chapter; Transcription by Ben Lerner, a perfect small novel about fathers, sons, memory, and technology as enabler or disabler of connection; and Didion and Babitz, on Joan Didion and Eve Babitz and the 1970s California rock scene.Paul: The Party's Interests Come First by Joseph Torigian — dense but beautifully written, and essential for understanding the current Chinese leadership.Kaiser: A fiction-only summer! Stoner by John Williams, a small life told most grandly in some of the most beautiful sentence-level writing anywhere; Gilead by Marilynne Robinson, an epistolary novel dense with distilled wisdom from a dying Iowa minister; and Wang Xiaobo's The Golden Age (黄金时代) in Yan Yan's excellent new translation — bawdy, hilarious, and super Beijing-y despite its Cultural Revolution setting.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

1 Samuel 13:1-8 (KJV) Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel, 2 Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent. 3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear. 4 And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal. 5 And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward from Beth-aven. 6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, (for the people were distressed,) then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits. 7 And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling. 8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
This episode of All Pop, No Culture opens with a full-panel argument about Supergirl. Andrew hated it, Kevin liked it, and Eric landed in the middle, making this one of the most divided reviews the show has had in a while. The conversation covers tone, villains, Lobo, Ruthie, Kara's arc, and whether the backlash is really about the movie itself or something else entirely. Lauren then reviews The Testaments on Hulu, the continuation of The Handmaid's Tale, and explains why it feels sharper, darker, and more emotionally grounded than the later seasons of the original series. Kevin joins in with thoughts on Aunt Lydia, Agnes, Lucy, and the unsettling world-building that still makes Gilead feel terrifyingly plausible. Andrew also gives his first reaction to Backrooms, Kevin defends its atmosphere and sequel potential, and Eric spotlights Bang My Box: Robin Byrd, a documentary about a public-access TV pioneer who helped push sexuality and LGBTQ visibility into the mainstream before the internet existed.
On this podcast episode, we spotlight our IPhO Annual Meeting Premier Sponsor, the USC Mann Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowship Program. We are joined by Michael Lim, USC Fellowship Director; along with former fellows Keya Patel, who transitioned from Gilead's Global Medical Affairs HIV Prevention Fellowship to a Global Medical Affairs strategy role in HIV Treatment; and Trey Graham, who transitioned from AbbVie's Medical Affairs Evidence Planning and Execution Fellowship to a Dermatology Medical Science Liaison role. Michael, Keya, and Trey discuss the USC fellowship experience, highlighting the program's supportive structure, professional development opportunities, and resources that help fellows successfully transition into full-time roles. They also share practical advice on taking initiative, setting expectations with preceptors, building meaningful professional relationships, and maximizing the fellowship experience. Whether you're just starting pharmacy school, finishing your fellowship, or preparing to launch your career, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss!
Fake Repentance Hosea 6 6 “Come, let us return to the LORD; for he has torn us, that he may heal us; he has struck us down, and he will bind us up. 2 After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him. 3 Let us know; let us press on to know the LORD; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.” 4 What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes early away. 5 Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth, and my judgment goes forth as the light. 6 For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. 7 But like Adam they transgressed the covenant; there they dealt faithlessly with me. 8 Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with blood. 9 As robbers lie in wait for a man, so the priests band together; they murder on the way to Shechem; they commit villainy. 10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; Ephraim's whoredom is there; Israel is defiled. 11 For you also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed. When I restore the fortunes of my people,

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we explore the dynamic shifts and breakthroughs shaping the industry, from major acquisitions to groundbreaking scientific advancements. Merck KGaA has made headlines with its bold $11.3 billion acquisition of Bio-Techne Corporation. This marks Merck's most significant deal since purchasing Sigma-Aldrich in 2015, reinforcing its strategic focus on expanding its life sciences tools portfolio. The acquisition aims to accelerate innovation in drug development and diagnostics, highlighting Merck's commitment to enhancing its capabilities in biotechnology under the leadership of CEO Kai Beckmann. Such strategic moves underscore a broader trend towards bolstering biotech portfolios through mergers and acquisitions as companies aim to remain competitive in an ever-evolving market landscape. In regulatory news, the FDA has approved a pioneering combination therapy involving Gilead's Trodelvy and Merck & Co.'s Keytruda for the first-line treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This aggressive cancer subtype has historically had limited treatment options, making this approval particularly significant. The combination therapy leverages an antibody-drug conjugate targeting Trop-2 alongside a PD-1 inhibitor, offering a promising new strategy that could substantially improve patient survival outcomes. This development also highlights the growing role of antibody-drug conjugates in oncology, illustrating how innovative therapeutic combinations can enhance treatment efficacy. Meanwhile, Pfizer's Ibrance has received FDA approval for label expansion to treat HR-positive, HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. As a CDK4/6 inhibitor crucial in cell cycle regulation, Ibrance's expanded use reflects ongoing advancements in targeted therapies that personalize cancer treatment based on specific molecular characteristics. Such expansions demonstrate the importance of continuous clinical evaluation and regulatory engagement in extending the lifecycle and applications of existing drugs. Ionis Pharmaceuticals has gained FDA approval for Tryngolza for severe hypertriglyceridemia, marking a significant milestone for antisense oligonucleotide therapies. By targeting apolipoprotein C-III, Tryngolza offers a novel approach to managing metabolic conditions linked to pancreatitis risks. This approval underscores the growing importance of antisense technology in addressing complex lipid disorders and highlights Ionis' strategic efforts to expand market reach through global partnerships. On the business development front, Boehringer Ingelheim's partnership with Immunai aims to leverage artificial intelligence in T-cell target discovery for cancer and autoimmune diseases. The integration of AI/ML technologies into drug discovery processes is increasingly seen as essential for enhancing precision and efficiency. This collaboration reflects an industry-wide shift towards embracing technology to improve research and development outcomes. In clinical trials, Otsuka's centanafadine shows promise for adults with ADHD and comorbid anxiety following successful Phase 3b trials. As a small molecule reuptake inhibitor, centanafadine could provide dual therapeutic benefits for patients with these overlapping conditions. Such developments highlight ongoing innovation in neuropsychiatric treatments aimed at addressing mental health conditions with greater precision. Financially, Oblenio Bio's $62 million Series B funding round will support advancing its tri-specific autoimmune T-cell engager into trials, potentially offering new solutions for autoimmune diseases through innovative immunotherapy approaches. These financial movements illustrate how companies are strategically positioning themselves to capitalize on emerging therapeutic opportunities. Amid these developments, regulatory dynamics continue to evolve, as seen with the FDA's pilot program aimed at streamlining drug approval processes. Initiatives like these are pivotal in restoring confidence in regulatory frameworks while adapting to new scientific insights and technological advancements. Overall, these developments underscore the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors' dynamic nature, characterized by strategic collaborations, regulatory milestones, and innovative treatment options poised to enhance patient care and strengthen drug development pipelines. The ongoing integration of cutting-edge technologies such as AI signifies an evolution towards more personalized and efficient healthcare solutions. Thank you for tuning into Pharma Daily, where we bring you the latest insights from the forefront of pharmaceutical and biotech innovation. Join us next time as we continue to explore the trends shaping the future of healthcare globally.Support the show

Chat with Subhi: https://calendly.com/letscombinate/let-s-combinate-intro-sessionFinished medical devices can create a lot of surprises when they are added to combination product kits.A needle, vial adapter, filter, or transfer device may already be sterile, cleared, qualified, and sold at massive scale.But already on the market does not automatically mean ready for your combination product.In this episode, I talk through the challenges of selecting finished medical devices for combination product kits and the three lifecycle moments that usually determine whether qualification goes smoothly or turns into a late-stage problem.We cover:* Why “already approved” does not mean combination-product ready* Why you inherit the supplier's design, QMS, packaging, validation, change control, and outsourcing decisions* What to think about before supplier selection* How to set expectations during supplier selection* Why structured qualification matters* How PPAP concepts like process flow, PFMEA, control plans, inspections, sampling, and validation evidence can helpThe main point: A commercially available device may be qualified for someone else's intended use. Your job is to determine whether it is qualified for yours.Chapters:00:00 Device Selection Stakes02:05 Common Supplier Myths03:54 Inheriting the Device QMS04:53 Three Crucial Moments05:51 Before Selection: Intended Use07:21 Packaging, Markets, and Risk Flags08:55 During Selection: Set Expectations10:33 Qualification: Use a Structured PPAP Approach14:12 Wrap Up and Next StepsSubhi Saadeh is the Founder and Principal at Let's Combinate, where he helps teams develop and control drug-device combination products by aligning quality systems, development, supplier quality, and regulatory expectations across drug and device domains.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Grab your Hosea Scripture Journal right now. Our text today is Hosea 6:7-9: But like Adam they transgressed the covenant; there they dealt faithlessly with me. Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with blood. As robbers lie in wait for a man, so the priests band together; they murder on the way to Shechem; they commit villainy. — Hosea 6:7-9 Hosea names real locations—Gilead and Shechem. These were not random cities. They were places of spiritual significance. Gilead was associated with covenant land, healing balm, and the inheritance of God's people. Shechem was one of the great covenant sites in Israel's story. Abraham built an altar there. Jacob returned there. Joshua renewed the covenant there. It was a place where people once remembered God's faithfulness. But now what are they? "Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with blood." "The priests… murder on the way to Shechem." The names remained, but the meaning had changed. These cities still existed geographically, but spiritually they had become something else. Thus the warning. A place can keep its "holy" name while losing its "holy" character. A city can preserve religious language while celebrating rebellion. A church can keep the sign on the building while abandoning the presence of God. A people can inherit a Christian past while living in practical unbelief. Think about it. How many cities carry church steeples but no fear of God? How many communities bear Christian history but reject Christian truth? How many people wear the label "Christian" while living untouched by Christ? Names do not save. History does not save. Heritage does not save. Only transformation does. The work done at the heart level. God was not impressed by the fact that Gilead used to matter or that Shechem once held covenant memories. He judged them at this moment by what they had become. And God does the same with us. So do not hide behind where you live, where you grew up, what church you attend, or what family you came from. Assess another question: Who am I now? Because the issue is not what your city, church, or life was once called. The issue is whether Christ truly rules there now. Let him reign in you now and forevermore. DO THIS: Pray for your city, church, and home today. Then ask God to begin renewal in you before asking Him to change everyone else. ASK THIS: Am I relying on a Christian label instead of real transformation? Does my life reflect Christ—or just a religious identity? How can I become part of renewal where I live? PRAY THIS: God, forgive us for keeping your name while ignoring your ways. Transform my life, my home, and my city so your name is honored again. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Forever Reign"
In this study we will take a look at the women within the Bible. We will look at each one of them and see how their story influences our lives today.As we continue our study in this fantastic insight of the Women of the Bible, this morning we complete our study on Rachel and LeahNames in the Bible often say something about the person:Rachel means 'ewe', a female sheep, a symbol of prosperity and security for nomadic people Leah means 'weary or wild cow' Jacob means 'heel grabber', either his brother's heel at the moment of birth or his brother's inheritance later on; the name can also mean 'deceiver' Laban means 'white'; it was sometimes linked with leprosy Reuben means 'behold, a son!' Joseph means 'may he add or increase'The story contains five different episodes: 1 Rachel meets Jacob at the well, Genesis 29:1-14 2 Leah and Rachel marry Jacob, Genesis 29:15-30 3 Rachel has a son, Joseph, Genesis 29:31-15, 30:1-24 4 Rachel and Leah leave with Jacob, and Rachel takes the sacred household deities, Genesis 30:25-43, 31 5 Rachel has a son, Benjamin, and dies soon after, Genesis 35:16-30In our last study we learned about Jacob leaving his homeland and traveling to his mother's homeland of Haran to find a wife. There at the well Jacob meets his future wife Rachel. But hold on Rachel as we learned had a older sister Leah. When Jacob went into their father and asks for his daughters hand in marriage, Labin tricks Jacob into marrying Leah instead of Rachel. So we see that Jacob must fulfill his promise to Labin for the hand of Rachel. As the story unfolds we see Leah producing children for Jacob. However we see that Rachel faced a different problem. No matter how she prayed to Yahweh, no matter how much she was loved by Jacob, Rachel did not conceive. In desperation she gave her maid Bilhah [timid, bashful] to Jacob, so that he could conceive a child with Bilhah as a surrogate mother for Rachel. This practice was common in the ancient world [Code of Khammurabi section 145]; the woman became a concubine instead of a servant, and it was a step up the social ladder for her. She might become the mother of the future tribal leader. Bilhah had a son, whom Rachel named Dan [judge]. Then she had a second son, and Rachel called him Naphtali [my wrestling]. In response, Leah gave her own maid Zilpah [trickling] to Jacob, and this resulted in yet more sons: Gad [troop] and Asher [happy]. A bitter rivalry grew up between the two women. We pick up our story in Genesis Chapter 30(1-4) Rachel, out of frustration, gives Jacob her maid Bilhah to bear children through her.(5-6) The birth of Dan.(7-8) The birth of Naphtali.(9-11) The birth of Gad.(12-13) The birth of Asher.(14-18) The birth of Issachar.(19-20) The birth of Zebulun.(21) The birth of Dinah.Finally we read in verse 22 that Yahweh remembers Rachel and opens her womb.Verses 23, 24, “She conceived and bore a son and said, 'Elohim has taken away my reproach'; and she named him Joseph (let me add or adding), saying 'May Yahweh add to me another son!'” Rachel and Leah flee with JacobAt this stage, Jacob felt Yahweh calling him to return to his homeland. Rachel and Leah were also dissatisfied by the way things were panning out financially, and felt they are not getting what they were entitled to as Laban's daughters. It was time to go. They both urged Jacob to take action. It seems that Rachel in particular was still angry at her father for what he had done to her. Before they set out, she took the small figurines that represented the spirits of ancestors and the protective deities of her father's family (the teraphim), telling no one at all what she was doing. This was not a random act of malice, for years ago on what should have been her wedding night, Laban had stolen Rachel's happiness. Now she stole something that was precious to him - pay-back for a life-time of bullying. But her act had wider significance than this, because the teraphim (This word occurs only in the plural, and denotes images connected with magical rites. The teraphim, translated, "images", in the Authorized Version, carried away from Laban, by Rachel, were regarded by Laban as elohims, and it would, therefore, appear that they were used by those who added corrupt practices to the patriarchal religion) were a form of title deed, and the person who possessed them could claim the tribe's wealth. Ownership of the household deities was the privilege of the head of the family, and by taking them Rachel secured this position for her husband. The whole family group assembled; ready to return to the land of Jacob's father, Isaac. They crossed the Euphrates and headed towards the hill country of Gilead. But it was not going to be as easy as that. Laban pursued them, caught up with them, and confronted them. Where were the household elohims? They were missing and Laban wanted them back. This was news to Jacob. He did not know Rachel had taken them, since she had kept them hidden and had not told anyone what she had done. Jacob then made one of those foolish pronouncements that give the reader a hint that something bad is coming: he indignantly denied knowledge of the theft, and said that whoever had done such a thing should die. Laban searched the tents of Jacob, Leah, and the two maids to find the teraphim- each woman in a polygamous marriage had her own separate tent. Laban found nothing. Then he went into Rachel's tent, where the teraphim were hidden. What he did not know was that Rachel had hidden them in the saddlebags of her camel. She greeted her father respectfully but did not rise from where she was sitting. She explained modestly that she could not do so, since she was menstruating. 'Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise before you, for the way of women is upon me.'This meant that the cloth on which she was sitting was ritually unclean, and could not be touched by anyone. Most ancient tribes had customs that allowed menstruating women to withdraw from physical contact with the tribe while they had their periods, and women welcomed this time of rest from their usual tasks. Rachel's manner towards her father was so sweet and yielding that Laban did not argue or tell her to move, and the upshot was that he left her tent empty-handed. She had used the laws of ritual cleanliness to her own advantage. The irony was that it was a lie. She was already pregnant with a son.Since Laban could not find the teraphim, he had to back down. The two men made a face-saving covenant, and early the next morning Laban said good-bye to them all, and left.When Laban was gone Rachel's family moved on, and on the way to Ephrath she went into labor. This time things did not go well for her. The pains were very bad, and Rachel suffered terribly. To comfort her, the midwife told her it would be a boy. It was, but Rachel would not live to see him grow. She died in childbirth. Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

El zamorano David Muñoz Mateos ha presentado en la Biblioteca Antonio Martínez Asensio de Hoy por Hoy su novela 'Entre hojas escondido' (Muñeca infinita). La narración nos traslada a las remotas tierras de la Sierra de la Culebra, en plena raya entre España y Portugal. Allí sitúa una acción protagonizada por Samuel, un adulto que de niño fue abandonado en el bosque y convivió con los lobos. Muñoz Mateos , a partir de esta historia de infancia feral, nos cuenta como se adapta, o no, a la civilización Samuel , y a la vez hace una gran elegía del entorno natural de la culebra cada vez más abandonado por el ser humano, invadido por la naturaleza y víctima de los incendios. Una novela brutal para nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio que arrancó contando un cuento en tres minutos un cuento a José Luis Sastre, concretamente “El encaje roto” de Emilia Pardo Bazán que está dentro del volumen 'el encaje roto: Antología de cuentos de violencia contra las mujeres" de Emilia Pardo Bazán, editado por Contraseña. Luego añadiría el libro que nos contará en su programa "Un libro, una hora" que será 'El tumulto de las bestias' de Ykio Mishima (Alianza Editorial). Nuestro invitado David Muñoz Mateos nos donó para nuestras estanterías una gran tetralogía , la de Marilynne Robinson, compuesta por 'Gilead', 'En casa', 'Lila' y 'Jack' (Galaxia Gutenberg). Las novedades las trajo Pepe Rubio y fueron dos: 'Los falsarios' de Adolfo García Ortega (Impedimenta) y 'La bola' de Daniel Verdú (Alfaguara). Pascual Donate volvió a rescatar un libro abandonado en la redacción de la SER , en este caso 'Telégrafos del estado' de Matilde Serao (Editorial Espinas). Y finalmente las donaciones de los oyentes que fueron : 'Las ovejas detectives' de Lionie Swann (Salamandra) , 'Inés y la alegría' de Almudena Grandes (Tusquets) y 'Empresas y tribulaciones de Maqroll el gaviero' de Álvaro Mutis (Alfaguara) .
Why did Cleopatra demand the balsam groves of Jericho as the price of financing Marc Antony's wars — and what does it mean that a plant worth twice its weight in gold was guarded day and night by Roman soldiers after the conquest of Jerusalem? What was the balm of Gilead, the most expensive agricultural commodity in the ancient world, and why did it grow nowhere on Earth except the shores of the Dead Sea? And how does a thousand-year-old seed, germinated in a Jordanian valley in 2024, connect the ancient world to the present?Join John and Patrick as they tell the story of Jordan — the asphalt wars, Cleopatra's monopoly, and the extinct plant that Roman soldiers fought to protect...----------In Sponsorship with J&K Fresh.The customs broker who is your fruit and veggies' personal bodyguard.

In this final episode of the ICH Quality series, we walk through the most important concepts in ICH Q14 and how they fit into the broader ICH quality framework.Rather than reviewing the guideline section by section, this episode focuses on the ideas that are most useful in practice: Why does ICH Q14 start with the Analytical Target Profile (ATP)? How is it different from ICH Q2? How do you develop analytical procedures using a science- and risk-based approach? And what does all of this have to do with ICH Q12 and lifecycle management?One quick note: at the time of recording, ICH Q14 remains under public comment, so some details may evolve before the final version is adopted.Chapters00:00 – Intro and ICH Q14 vs. Q201:08 – The Analytical Target Profile (ATP)04:16 – The Analytical Procedure Lifecycle05:32 – Risk-Based Development and Enhanced Approaches06:20 – Where ICH Q2 Fits: Validation08:04 – Connecting Q14 to ICH Q12 and Lifecycle Management09:22 – Closing the ICH Quality SeriesIn this episode, we cover:• Why ICH Q14 exists• The difference between ICH Q14 and ICH Q2• What an Analytical Target Profile (ATP) is• ATP examples and performance criteria• Technology selection and fit-for-purpose methods• The analytical procedure lifecycle• Risk assessments and enhanced development approaches• Multivariate experiments and DOE concepts• Analytical procedure control strategies• Validation and the role of ICH Q2• Lifecycle management of analytical procedures• The connection between ICH Q14 and ICH Q12• Why understanding matters more than simply checking a boxIf you've followed along through the ICH Quality series, one of the themes that keeps showing up is that quality isn't something you test into products at the end.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. The landscape of these industries is one of constant evolution, characterized by scientific advancements, strategic mergers, and regulatory maneuvers that shape the future of healthcare. In a significant scientific breakthrough, Merck & Co. and Gilead Sciences have made strides in HIV treatment with the development of a weekly pill. This innovative regimen combines Merck's islatravir with Gilead's lenacapavir, showing promise in two phase 3 trials. If approved, this long-acting oral therapy could revolutionize HIV care by offering a more convenient dosing schedule, potentially improving patient adherence and outcomes substantially. This novel regimen signifies progress towards simplifying HIV treatments with once-weekly dosing. Meanwhile, in the oncology sector, Gilead's Trodelvy faced challenges when combined with Merck's Keytruda as a first-line treatment for PD-L1-high non-small cell lung cancer. The phase 3 EVOKE-03 trial was terminated, shifting attention to competitors like AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo, who continue to advance their own therapies in this area. In a strategic move to bolster its position in lung cancer treatment, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is acquiring Nuvalent for $10.6 billion, aiming to secure near-approval cancer therapies capable of challenging market leaders like Roche and Pfizer. This acquisition underscores the focus on targeted cancer therapies that increase treatment efficacy by honing in on specific genetic markers. Nuvalent's innovative pipeline of small molecule inhibitors targets drug resistance and mutations in cancer treatment—a strategic addition to GSK's portfolio aimed at enhancing its position amidst rapid advancements and intense competition in oncology. In diabetes and obesity management, Eli Lilly is advancing with its new oral GLP-1 receptor agonist, Foundayo (orforglipron), which has shown competitive efficacy over oral semaglutide. Analysts see Lilly's progress as strengthening its leadership in the growing obesity drug market. Similarly, AstraZeneca is making progress with its own GLP-1 candidate, elecoglipron, as phase 2 data sets the stage for pivotal studies. Promising clinical trial data from Eli Lilly's retatrutide for obesity-related conditions and AstraZeneca's elecoglipron suggest a strengthening pipeline for GLP-1 receptor agonists known for their dual effects on weight management and glycemic control. On the diagnostics front, Roche reaffirms its €600 million investment in Germany amid industry retrenchments by companies like Eli Lilly and Boehringer Ingelheim. However, Roche remains cautious about future risks due to shifting economic conditions. The financial dynamics within biotech are also noteworthy. Parabilis Medicines is planning a potentially record-setting IPO following Kailera Therapeutics' successful public offering earlier this year. These trends indicate strong investor confidence and an influx of funding towards innovative cancer therapies. Meanwhile, CeQur's $100 million Series E funding round aims at accelerating insulin patch delivery systems' commercial growth—highlighting ongoing innovation in diabetes management solutions. Regulatory updates reveal AstraZeneca facing reprimands from the UK marketing watchdog due to repeated breaches related to LinkedIn activities—an ongoing challenge in pharmaceutical marketing compliance. The integration of digital health solutions continues apace as ixlayer partners with Vertex Pharmaceuticals to launch a digital acute pain management platform. This initiative aims at improving patient care by reducing reliance on opioid-based treatments. These developments paint a picture of an industry where scientific innovations, regulatory hurdles, and technological advancements intersect to shape future therapeutic landscapes. Precision oncology is another area witnessing substantial growth. The landscape also sees notable activity in rare disease therapeutics. Johnson & Johnson's Talvey has gained acceptance in Scotland for treating relapsed multiple myeloma using bispecific antibody technology—a trend toward leveraging immune system targeting technologies to enhance cancer treatment efficacy. Moreover, Zai Lab's Tivdak received approval from China's NMPA for cervical cancer treatment based on Phase 3 data, highlighting the rise of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) as potent oncology therapies due to their targeted delivery mechanisms. On the research collaboration front, AlzeCure Pharma's partnership with Eli Lilly focuses on Alzheimer's disease research through Alzstatin ACD680—a small molecule targeting neurodegenerative pathways—a testament to the collaborative efforts needed to tackle complex diseases like Alzheimer's. However, challenges persist as Bial discontinued its GCase activator program after failing Phase 2b trials for Parkinson's patients with GBA1 variants—a stark reminder of the high-risk nature inherent in drug development despite initial promise. These myriad developments underscore a vibrant period within pharmaceutical and biotech sectors where scientific advancements rapidly translate into actionable therapies promising substantial improvements in patient care by addressing unmet medical needs globally.Support the show
Sermon TextGenesis 2:15–25; Song of Solomon 4:1–7; 1 Corinthians 6:9–11 (ESV)The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.Then the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him. Now out of the ground the Lord God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him.So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said,This at last is bone of my bonesand flesh of my flesh;she shall be called Woman,because she was taken out of Man.Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.Behold, you are beautiful, my love, behold, you are beautiful! Your eyes are doves behind your veil. Your hair is like a flock of goats leaping down the slopes of Gilead. Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes that have come up from the washing, all of which bear twins, and not one among them has lost its young. Your lips are like a scarlet thread, and your mouth is lovely. Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate behind your veil. Your neck is like the tower of David, built in rows of stone; on it hang a thousand shields, all of them shields of warriors. Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, that graze among the lilies. Until the day breathes and the shadows flee, I will go away to the mountain of myrrh and the hill of frankincense. You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you.Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.Genesis 2:24Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.1 Corinthians 6:15–17Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, The two will become one flesh. But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.Proverbs 5:18–19Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a series of significant advancements shaping the landscape of our industry. As technology continues to redefine traditional paradigms, the collaboration between Pfizer and Chai Discovery exemplifies this trend. By harnessing artificial intelligence, particularly through custom models like Chai-3, this partnership aims to revolutionize drug discovery. The integration of AI promises not only to accelerate the identification of biologics and antibodies but also to optimize resource allocation in research and development. Such technological integration could pave the way for an enhanced pipeline of innovative treatments, marking a transformative shift in how therapeutic candidates are developed. In the realm of regulatory developments, Lupin's Ranluspec has recently received FDA approval as an interchangeable biosimilar targeting VEGF-A for various retinal conditions. This move underscores the importance of biosimilars in providing cost-effective alternatives to expensive biologics, thereby expanding patient access to essential treatments for conditions like macular degeneration. Additionally, the MHRA's marketing authorization for Aujemflu, an adjuvanted trivalent influenza vaccine for adults aged 50 and over, reflects ongoing efforts to bolster protection against infectious diseases among vulnerable populations. Clinical trial advancements continue to highlight significant progress in therapeutic development. Otsuka Pharmaceuticals' Phase 3 data on Voyxact has shown promising stabilization of kidney function in patients with Immunoglobulin A nephropathy. This protein therapy targets autoimmune pathways, offering new hope for managing this chronic kidney condition. Similarly, Autobahn Therapeutics' Elunetirom has advanced to a pivotal trial following Phase 2 success in treating bipolar depression. This showcases the potential of small molecule therapies targeting thyroid hormone receptors. Meanwhile, Hikma Pharmaceuticals' victory in a landmark patent case regarding skinny labels marks an important development in pharmaceutical intellectual property rights. The unanimous Supreme Court ruling against Amarin supports the legitimacy of using skinny labels to market generic versions of drugs for non-patented indications. This decision could enhance market competition and drive down healthcare costs, setting a precedent for future intellectual property disputes. On the business front, strategic partnerships and mergers continue to shape industry dynamics. Gilead Sciences' acquisition of Ouro Medicines for $1.675 billion strengthens its autoimmune inflammation pipeline. This transaction exemplifies how major deals are reshaping therapeutic portfolios in response to growing demand for treatments targeting rare diseases. Financially, Solix Pharmaceuticals' success in raising $71 million to advance its siRNA pipeline across multiple therapeutic areas demonstrates investor confidence in RNA-based therapeutics as a promising frontier for innovative treatments. Conversely, challenges persist as evidenced by Takeda's $2.5 billion legal provision over an antitrust case related to Amitiza, underscoring ongoing financial risks associated with litigation in the pharmaceutical sector. Corporate restructuring also signals shifts within the industry landscape. Fulcrum Therapeutics' decision to lay off 85% of its workforce following the discontinuation of its sickle cell disease candidate highlights the volatility and high stakes inherent in drug development. Overall, these developments illustrate a dynamic landscape where scientific innovation is propelled by AI-driven approaches and strategic collaborations while regulatory victories and financial maneuvers shape market dynamics. These trends have profound implications for patient care by potentially accelerating the availability of novel therapies and fostering a competitive environment that drives down costs. As we look ahead, stakeholders must navigate these complexities effectively to harness opportunities and address challenges within this rapidly evolving industry landscape. The ability to adapt and capitalize on emerging trends will be crucial as these sectors continue to evolve, ultimately enhancing patient care and advancing therapeutic frontiers globally.

Text us your questions!Randy and Kyle sit down with Milwaukee pastor and author Matt Erickson to explore a different vision of pastoral ministry: not the pastor as CEO, brand manager, or religious expert, but the pastor as gardener. Matt's book, The Pastor as Gardener: A Renewed Vision for Ministry, grows out of real ministry pressure, including moral failures, church decline, the pandemic, and the strain of navigating racial justice and polarization in a multiracial congregation.We dig into why agrarian imagery in Scripture still has bite for modern life, even in an urban church context. The gardener metaphor reframes leadership around cultivation instead of control: planting and watering while admitting we can't manufacture growth. That shift changes what we celebrate, what we fear, and what we measure, especially when the visible “fruit” of ministry looks strong but the hidden “roots” of prayer, integrity, and interior life are neglected.From there, we talk about what shepherding can still mean today, why care for the sick and grieving often gets delegated away, and why pastors need space to evolve without being treated like they've failed. Along the way we touch Gregory of Nyssa, Marilynne Robinson's Gilead, and the pressure for pastors to project certainty in a world where nobody can be an expert at everything.Look for Part 2 of this conversation in a couple weeks.=====Want to support us?The best way is to subscribe to our Patreon.

The 1800s was an era when medicine sat at the crossroads of science, ruses and discoveries. New vaccines and medical impostors competed for public trust. People broke with tradition and created a new landscape. Mordecai Wolff Haffkine Haffkine stood out as an almost legendary figure. A Jewish bacteriologist, he developed and tested vaccines against cholera and bubonic plague, putting his life repeatedly at risk and fighting to save the lives of millions of people. Whereas Dr. Samuel Solomon showed how skilful wording and suggestion could build a reputation and a fortune. Although his contribution to public service is rather unknown, Liverpool remembers him to this day - on par with some of their other legends. We also look at what happens when medicine and surgery produce unexpected outcomes. What are the halachic ramifications? And how did the BBC cover a re-election campaign in Kentucky?

Listen to the rest of this premium episode by subscribing at patreon.com/knowyourenemy. As always, listeners asked more mailbag questions than we could respond to in one episode, so we continue answering them here for subscribers. In this second round we take up: a playlist of KYE's Straussian-related episodes; (Straussian) esoteric writing versus (French) death of the author and the art of writing (and interpretation); prose style—what it is, why it matters, its relationship to poetry, and the rhythms of Norman Maclean; a "Straussian" reading of Steely Dan; and why liberalism is (mostly) worth defending. Thank you to everyone who attended our live event in NYC on Thursday! We had a great time.

The Promised Land You Can't Enter Yet by Autumn Dickson In the chapters this week, Moses is led to the top of a mountain where he is shown the promised land. Deuteronomy 34: 1, 4 1 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the Lord shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan… 4 And the Lord said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither. Interestingly enough, despite the fact that the Lord led him there to show him the promised land, Moses wasn't allowed to go into the promised land because of prior disobedience. He had led the Israelites out of Egypt and across the wilderness. It had not been easy. At one point, Moses had even asked the Lord to kill him rather than deal with the Israelites anymore. Moses suffered plenty of hardship, and he learned many great and important lessons. But despite this, Moses was still not allowed to step foot in the promised land. The Lord held true to Moses' consequences for disobedience. According to modern revelation, Moses was translated and taken up to the Lord before the Israelites entered the homeland that was meant for them. Details are always key. One of the details this week is the fact that Moses was taken up into a mountain where he could overlook the promised land that he couldn't enter. Mountains in scripture are often compared to temples. Holy things often take place on the tops of mountains, and the Lord gives knowledge and power to some of His children in the tops of mountains. Hold that thought. I wonder how he felt looking over the lands that were meant to be the inheritance of the Israelites. Did it hurt him that he would not be joining them or had he come to terms with the consequences that had been laid out for his disobedience? Did it hurt to see what had been meant to be his inheritance? Did it hurt to see the promises of the Lord that he would not be receiving? Whether it hurt or not, I can assure you that it no longer hurts Moses. He was translated, and he ended up in a different promised land than he had pictured or seen on the top of that mountain. It was a better promised land. Yes, Moses is just fine. I have found a surprising pattern in my life. I have multiple friends who dislike the temple, not because they don't agree with what happens there, but because they can't see the promises of the Lord being fulfilled for them. I have friends who have faced infidelity or family members who don't want to participate in ordinances in the the temple. Going to the temple and hearing the promises that were meant to be theirs doesn't feel particularly good. It is painful to hear about it and desire it deeply and not have current access to it. I fully recognize that I have not been in their shoes, nor do I understand what it's like to feel barred from those promises. Even as I share my testimony of these things, I fully own that I dont understand what it's like to have to come to terms with feelings like that. But sometimes objectivity is precisely what is needed. Strong emotions can be so overwhelming that it's difficult to see the end from the beginning. So let me testify of the end. Moses did not enter into that promised land here. He could see it. He was so close, but it was something that wasn't available to him. I promise you that he's okay. More than that, I promise that he is far more than okay. The Lord has taken care of Moses beautifully. There are two specific promises I want to testify of if you are facing the same problem as Moses or my friends. If you feel that there is no happy ending in sight, these are the promises I want you to hold to. Promise one. There is a promised land available for you even if it feels like mortality is barring you from in it one form or another. Mortality is not strong enough to keep you from your Savior's ability to give you a joyful existence. He is mighty to save. He can take care of you. You are not actually barred from those promises. And in all honesty, you don't even have to wait to step foot in the promised land. Moses' disobedience was what kept him from the promised land, and even his own disobedience didn't ultimately keep him from eternal joy. If you feel innocently barred, then Satan is lying to you. Christ can offer peace and comfort right now. You can go to the temple and listen to the promises and cling to them. Find comfort in them. You don't have to know the how in order for those promises to take affect in your life. Those promises ARE for you even if you don't know exactly how they will look. And if you don't feel strong enough to cling to those promises, He has the power to bring peace even when it's illogical. You can go to the temple and call upon the blessings He promised you there. You can tell Him, “I'm here. I came like You asked. Can you help me feel peace?” And then allow Him to offer peace. Allow Him to comfort you. Unfortunately, sometimes promises of joy feel empty without our loved ones who refuse their own promises. Which brings me to promise two. The Lord can take care of those around us, just as He can take care of you. Elder Orson F. Whitney, an apostle, taught this: The Prophet Joseph Smith declared—and he never taught a more comforting doctrine—that the eternal sealings of faithful parents and the divine promises made to them for valiant service in the Cause of Truth, would save not only themselves, but likewise their posterity. Though some of the sheep may wander, the eye of the Shepherd is upon them, and sooner or later they will feel the tentacles of Divine Providence reaching out after them and drawing them back to the fold. Either in this life or the life to come, they will return. I don't believe the sealing power only applies to children. There is a reason we all get sealed together; I believe this likewise applies to spouses who have chosen to stray. The Lord has a plan for everyone who ever lived upon the earth to be sealed together. That sealing power is so strong. And in the meantime, He will sorrow with you. He knows what it's like to watch loved ones stray. He cannot force them to come back, but He knows how to succor you in your pain. He knows exactly how you feel, probably even stronger because His love is deeper. Take comfort in the fact that He has found eternal joy and hope. You can too. Looking at the promised land doesn't have to feel painful. I testify that if Moses had seen what was coming for him, any sting from being barred from the promised land would have been soothed. It would have had no power because Moses knew what the Lord had in store for him. We can be like Moses. If you could see the end, it would take away much of the sting for you as well. I testify that as we consciously strive to strengthen our testimonies of His promises, we find the balm He promised us now, not just in the next life. I testify that the Savior can deliver on His promises of eternal joy. I testify that the ending is beautiful. I testify that He knows how to reach our loved ones, and we can trust Him with them.
