From Vacation Mode to Purpose-Driven TravelLike many of us, Ting Ting didn't always travel with intention. Early trips were about fun, escape, and ticking destinations off a list. But over time, something shifted. Nature-based experiences, cultural immersion, and meaningful connections started to matter more than luxury or convenience.She describes herself as a traveler who lives between extremes — sometimes deeply planned, sometimes wildly spontaneous. And honestly? That balance is part of the magic. Whether it's booking a flight last-minute or committing to a long retreat-style journey, Ting Ting believes travel should feel alive, not scripted.“Traveling should be about connection and purpose.”  What It's Really Like Traveling as a Retreat LeaderTraveling solo is one thing. Traveling as a retreat leader is a whole different adventure.Ting Ting explains that hosting group trips means holding space for others while navigating unfamiliar environments — often in destinations that challenge comfort zones. Safety, hydration, logistics, emotions… it's all part of the role. But seeing a destination through fresh eyes — even places she's visited many times, like Egypt — never gets old.And yes, she lovingly compares leading groups to herding kittens.   Mongolia: An Ancestral Adventure Like No OtherThis episode's heart beats strongest in Mongolia.After discovering her Mongolian ancestry through a DNA test, Ting Ting felt called to experience the land not as a tourist — but as someone seeking connection. What followed was one of her most intense and transformative journeys yet.She lived with nomadic families, rode horses across vast open landscapes, and learned from Eagle Hunters whose traditions have been passed down for generations.“Mongolia offers a deep connection to ancestry.”The Reality of Nomadic LifeLet's clear something up: nomadic life is not the romantic fantasy Instagram makes it out to be.Days start before sunrise. Every task has a purpose. Every resource is used fully — even burning yak dung for heat. Ting Ting shares how living this way revealed just how resilient, resourceful, and deeply connected to nature these communities are.“Nomadic life is more challenging than it appears.”The experience was humbling, grounding, and eye-opening — and yes, included outdoor bathrooms, long days, and moments of real discomfort.  Why Ancestry Travel Hits DifferentThere's something powerful about traveling somewhere tied to your roots.Ting Ting reflects on how knowing her ancestry changed the way she experienced Mongolia — how the land, people, and traditions felt familiar in an unexplainable way. It wasn't just about learning history; it was about belonging.Ancestry travel, she explains, isn't always easy — but it often leads to the deepest growth.  Facing Fear & Traveling Off the GridMongolia and China often feel intimidating to travelers — and Ting Ting doesn't sugarcoat that reality. Extreme weather, challenging terrain, and cultural differences are part of the deal.But safety, she emphasizes, comes from understanding local customs, traveling with intention, and staying curious instead of fearful.Some moments tested her limits. Some moments made her question why she signed up. And those moments? They're often the ones that change you the most.  Adventure Destinations Around the WorldWhile Mongolia stands out as one of her most demanding trips, Ting Ting has led adventures across the globe — from Egypt to Bali to Mexico.Each destination offers something different:Egypt surprises travelers with warmth, history, and human connection.Bali and Puerto Escondido, Mexico require intentional planning to stay authentic.Group travel amplifies experiences in ways solo trips can't.The key? Going deeper than the highlights and staying open to the unexpected.  Travel Tips You'll Actually Want to RememberBefore booking your next adventure or retreat-style trip, Ting Ting offers some real-world advice:Expect discomfort — growth lives therePrepare for cultural differencesUnderstand health requirements (yes, vaccines matter)Pack intentionally (you don't need as much as you think)Learn from past travel mistakes — everyone has them“Personal growth often comes from challenging experiences.”  Who Are Adventure Retreats Really For?Adventure retreats aren't just for hardcore explorers — but they're also not for everyone.They're perfect for travelers craving connection, personal growth, and meaningful experiences. If you need total control, predictability, or luxury at every turn, easing into adventure travel might be the move.The reward? Perspective, confidence, and memories that stick with you long after you return home.  Final TakeawayThis episode is a reminder that travel isn't just about where you go — it's about who you become along the way.Whether you're drawn to ancestry travel, off-the-grid destinations, or adventure with purpose, Ting Ting Guan's story proves that the most meaningful journeys often challenge us — and change us. 

China's economy demonstrated strong resilience in 2025, with growth holding firm despite mounting external pressures and internal structural adjustments, while new growth drivers are taking shape to support sustainable expansion going forward, said officials and experts.政府工作人员和专家指出，2025年中国经济展现出强劲韧性，在外部压力不断加剧和内部结构调整的双重背景下，经济增长依然保持稳健，同时新的增长动力正在形成，为未来可持续扩张提供支撑。Official data released on Monday showed that China's gross domestic product grew 5 percent last year, meeting the country's annual target of around 5 percent. The hard-won performance, achieved amid heightened tariff pressures, has laid a solid foundation for a steady start to economic growth in 2026, reinforcing confidence that the world's second-largest economy remains on a stable trajectory.官方周一公布的数据显示，中国去年国内生产总值增长5%，实现了约5%的年度增长目标。在关税压力加剧的背景下取得的这一来之不易的成绩，为2026年经济增长平稳开局奠定了坚实基础，增强了市场信心，表明这个全球第二大经济体仍保持着稳定发展态势。As China enters the opening year of its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period, economists said policymakers are set to press ahead with front-loaded fiscal support to boost domestic demand, alongside a moderately accommodative monetary stance aimed at lifting prices and easing financing costs.随着中国迎来第十五个五年规划（2026-2030年）的开局之年，经济学家指出，政策制定者将推进前置性财政支持以提振内需，同时采取适度宽松的货币政策立场，旨在提振物价并降低融资成本。The country's annual GDP came in at 140.19 trillion yuan ($20.13 trillion) in 2025, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Chinese economy grew 4.5 percent year-on-year, following 4.8 percent growth in the third quarter.国家统计局数据显示，2025年中国国内生产总值（GDP）达140.19万亿元（合20.13万亿美元）。2025年第四季度，中国经济同比增长4.5%，此前第三季度增速为4.8%。Kang Yi, head of the NBS, said that the latest indicators fully demonstrate the Chinese economy's steady progress, resilience under pressure, and vitality in moving toward higher-quality and innovation-driven development.国家统计局局长康义表示，最新指标充分展现了中国经济稳步前进的态势、在压力下的韧性，以及在迈向更高质量、创新驱动发展道路上的活力。"China's average annual contribution to global economic growth stood at around 30 percent throughout the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) period. With a complete industrial system, China has played a stabilizing role in global supply chains and injected much-needed stability into a world economy undergoing turbulence and transformation," he said.中国在“十四五”规划（2021-2025年）期间，对全球经济增长的年均贡献率保持在30%左右。凭借完整的产业链体系，中国在全球供应链中发挥着稳定器作用，为动荡转型中的世界经济注入了急需的稳定力量。Guan Tao, global chief economist at BOCI China, said that China's economy has delivered "hard-won" results in 2025, featuring breakthroughs in technological advances and emerging consumption phenomena, setting the stage for a 2026 GDP growth target possibly at 4.5 percent to 5 percent.中银证券全球首席经济学家管涛表示，2025年中国经济取得“来之不易”的成果，技术进步实现突破性进展，消费呈现新形态，为2026年GDP增速目标设定4.5%至5%的区间奠定基础。"In 2025, when people talked about China, things like DeepSeek, Ne Zha 2, Unitree humanoid robots, the overseas expansion of innovative pharmaceuticals, and Jiangsu Football City League, or Suchao, all showed that China's economy has been full of highlights, whether in consumption recovery or technological innovation," Guan said.管涛表示：“在2025年，当人们谈论中国时，话题转向了诸如DeepSeek、《哪吒2》、宇树人形机器人、创新药出海、江苏城市足球联赛‘苏超'等新事物；焦点无论是消费复苏还是科技创新，都展现出中国经济的亮点纷呈；都无不印证着中国经济的蓬勃生机。”Citing the latest indicators, Sheana Yue, a senior economist at British think tank Oxford Economics, said that the fourth quarter's continued momentum appeared to be driven by stronger industrial activity and exports in December, which offset still weak domestic demand.英国智库牛津经济研究院高级经济学家岳喜娜援引最新指标指出，第四季度经济持续增长的动能似乎源于12月工业活动和出口的强劲表现，这抵消了国内需求依然疲软的影响。NBS data showed that China's value-added industrial output rose 5.2 percent in December, following 4.8 percent growth in November.国家统计局数据显示，中国12月工业增加值同比增长5.2%，高于11月的4.8%增速。"Our estimates suggested high-tech manufacturing, including transport equipment, electrical machinery and electronics manufacturing, continued to outperform at the end of 2025," Yue said.岳喜娜：“我们的估算显示，包括运输设备、电机和电子制造在内的高科技制造业，在2025年底仍保持着强劲增长态势。”According to the NBS, retail sales, a key indicator of consumer spending, increased 0.9 percent in December, while China's fixed-asset investment decreased 3.8 percent in 2025.据国家统计局数据显示，作为消费支出重要指标的零售额在12月增长0.9%，而2025年中国固定资产投资同比下降3.8%。Wang Qing, chief macroeconomic analyst at Golden Credit Rating International, said that looking ahead to 2026, the impact of high tariffs imposed by the United States on global trade and China's exports is expected to become more pronounced, weakening the contribution of external demand to economic growth and requiring domestic demand to step in more decisively.东方金诚首席宏观分析师王青表示，展望2026年，美国高关税对全球贸易和中国出口的影响预计将更加显著，这将削弱外需对经济增长的贡献，需要内需更果断地接棒。"We expect that, with more proactive and effective macroeconomic policies continuing to gain strength, consumption will accelerate further in 2026, and investment will stabilize after bottoming out," he said.王青表示：“随着更积极有效的宏观经济政策持续发力，预计2026年消费将进一步加速增长，投资将在触底后趋于稳定。”With 2026 marking the opening year of China's 15th Five-Year Plan, Xu Hongcai, deputy director of the economic policy committee of the China Association of Policy Science, said that ensuring a smooth economic start will be critical, and called for stable, consistent and moderately forceful macro policies.2026年标志着中国第十五个五年规划的开局之年。中国政策科学研究会常务理事、经济政策委员会副主任徐洪才指出，确保经济平稳开局至关重要，呼吁实施稳定、连贯且力度适中的宏观政策。Fiscal policy should remain proactive, he said, suggesting that the fiscal deficit ratio remain at around 4 percent, supported by the continued issuance of long-term treasuries to boost consumption, improve public well-being and mitigate local government debt risks. He added that monetary policy should stay moderately accommodative, with room for further cuts to interest rates and the reserve requirement ratio.徐洪才表示，财政政策应保持积极，建议财政赤字率维持在4%左右，同时继续发行长期国债以提振消费、改善民生并缓解地方政府债务风险。他还指出，货币政策应保持适度宽松，存在进一步下调利率和存款准备金率的空间。Going forward, Xu said that China's economic growth in 2026 is expected to remain within a reasonable range, with improving quality, a more optimized structure and steady progress toward high-quality development.徐洪才表示，展望未来，2026年中国经济增长预计将保持在合理区间，质量不断提升，结构持续优化，朝着高质量发展稳步迈进。Choi Yong-ho, chief executive officer and chief happiness officer of South Korean entertainment technology company Galaxy Corp, said China's market holds virtually unlimited development potential. "It is creative, innovative and dynamic, and it is already at the global forefront in multiple industries."韩国娱乐科技独角兽Galaxy Corp首席执行官兼首席幸福官崔龙湖表示，中国市场蕴藏着几乎无限的发展潜力。“这个市场充满创造力、创新精神和活力，已在多个行业处于全球领先地位。”"China's strong capabilities in robotics and artificial intelligence are leading industrial development, and its younger generation represents a highly capable and promising talent base. With these advantages, I believe the Chinese market will continue to grow, with a very optimistic outlook," he said.崔龙湖表示：“中国在机器人和人工智能领域的强大实力正引领着工业发展，其年轻一代代表着一支能力出众、充满希望的人才队伍。凭借这些优势，我相信中国市场将继续增长，前景非常乐观。”humanoid robot/ˈhjuː.mə.nɔɪd/n.人形机器人trajectory/trəˈdʒek.tɚ.i/n.轨道；态势

Greetings Glocal Citizens! Last week, Ghana lost another living legend, the first lady of the 4th Republic, Madam Nana Konadu Ageyman Rawlings. As we mourn this loss, I can't help but to take note of how 2025 has been a year punctuated with transitions of many of Ghana's cultural icons as well as civic leaders--all passionate about not only their crafts but forward movement, Ghana's progress. I invited my guest this week to join me in conversation particularly because of way that her craft, her passion and her lineage converge in a story that is and will continue to make an impact on arts, culture and economic development in Ghana and beyond. Ghanaian- American, Aretha Amma Sarfo-Kantanka is an accomplished global branding professional who has been instrumental in driving retail sales via innovative retail marketing and branding campaigns juxtaposing the fashion and music industry.

China is likely to press ahead with expanding the global use of the yuan in a gradual and prudent manner during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30), while continuing to foster a sound environment for using and holding the Chinese currency, officials and experts said.官员及专家表示，“十四五”规划期间（2026-2030年），中国或将以循序渐进、审慎稳妥的方式推进人民币国际化进程，同时持续营造有利于人民币使用与持有良好环境。As the dollar-centered international monetary system appears increasingly fragile, efforts to raise the yuan's global profile are seen as essential not only for safeguarding China's financial security but also for enhancing the resilience of the global monetary framework, they said.他们指出，随着以美元为核心的国际货币体系脆弱性日益凸显，提升人民币国际地位不仅对维护中国金融安全至关重要，也有助于增强全球货币体系的韧性。Future reforms, they added, should focus on broadening capital market access for global investors with a more integrated framework, deepening capital account liberalization under prudent oversight, and enhancing exchange rate flexibility to support the stable, long-term internationalization of the yuan, or the renminbi.专家补充称，未来改革应聚焦三大方向：通过更完善的一体化框架拓宽全球投资者进入中国资本市场的渠道、在审慎监管下深化资本账户开放、增强汇率弹性，以此支撑人民币长期稳定的国际化进程（人民币又称“Renminbi”）。The People's Bank of China, the country's central bank, said that China will continue to improve the environment for both domestic and overseas entities holding and using the yuan, as the cross-border use of the renminbi is a natural process.中国人民银行（中国央行）表示，跨境人民币使用是自然发展过程，中国将持续优化境内外主体持有和使用人民币的环境。"As the pace of diversification in the international monetary system accelerates, business entities are showing a stronger endogenous demand for using the yuan," it said.央行还提到，“随着国际货币体系多元化进程加快，市场主体对使用人民币的内生需求不断增强”。Efforts will be made to integrate investment channels to attract more overseas investment in the onshore financial market, refine renminbi settlement policies for cross-border trade and investment, and encourage more qualified overseas institutions to issue panda bonds — yuan-denominated bonds sold in the onshore market by overseas entities, it added.同时将整合投资渠道以吸引更多境外资金进入在岸金融市场、完善跨境贸易和投资人民币结算政策，并鼓励更多符合条件的境外机构发行熊猫债券（即境外主体在境内市场发行的人民币计价债券）。China is likely to map out the path for expanding high-level opening-up during the ongoing fourth plenary session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee, where draft proposals for formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan for national economic and social development are being studied.中国或将在二十届四中全会期间明确高水平对外开放的推进路径，此次会议正研究制定“十四五”规划的国民经济和社会发展草案建议。President Xi Jinping highlighted the Chinese currency's heft as a core element of the country's financial strength in early 2024. Later last year, the resolution adopted at the third plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee stressed that the country should steadily and prudently advance the internationalization of the yuan while promoting high-standard opening-up of the financial sector.2024年初，习近平主席强调人民币地位是中国金融实力的核心组成部分；去年下半年，二十届三中全会通过的决议明确提出，中国应在推进金融业高水平开放的同时，稳步审慎推进人民币国际化。Experts said the fourth plenary session may reaffirm the steady and prudent advancement of renminbi internationalization as one of the key tasks during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.专家认为，四中全会可能会重申“稳步审慎推进人民币国际化”是“十四五”期间的重点任务之一。Guan Tao, global chief economist at investment bank BOCI China, said, "China needs to advance the gradual opening of the capital account to further facilitate the cross-border circulation and use of the yuan."中银国际全球首席经济学家管涛表示：“中国需逐步推进资本账户开放，以进一步便利人民币跨境流通与使用”。Generally speaking, the capital account records the net flow of investment into an economy.通常而言，资本账户记录一国经济体的投资净流入情况。Guan added that future opening steps are likely to follow a cautious and gradual approach, reflecting China's long-standing principle of moving forward step by step to ensure both safety and progress.管涛补充称，未来开放举措可能会延续“谨慎渐进”的思路，这体现了中国“稳中求进、确保安全”的长期原则。Marshall Mills, the International Monetary Fund's senior resident representative in China, said, "As China's role in the global economy and trade continues to grow, we expect the international use of the yuan to grow."国际货币基金组织（IMF）中国高级驻地代表马歇尔・米尔斯表示：“随着中国在全球经济和贸易中的作用持续提升，我们预计人民币的国际使用将不断增加”。Mills emphasized that the yuan's increasing use globally is a market-driven outcome.他同时强调，人民币国际使用的扩大是市场驱动的结果。Marking renminbi internationalization as a defining hallmark of China's financial opening-up, Wu Xiaoqiu, dean of the National Academy of Financial Research at Renmin University of China, said, "If a country's legal tender lacked global influence, the notion of great financial strength would be untenable."中国人民大学国家金融研究院院长吴晓球将人民币国际化视为中国金融开放的标志性事件，他指出：“若一个国家的法定货币缺乏国际影响力，那么‘金融强国'的理念便无从谈起”。Wu said that further opening the capital market is a priority for enhancing the global appeal of the renminbi. He suggested expanding treasury bond issuance — including replacing local government debt — to increase the supply of risk-free renminbi assets for global investors.吴晓球认为，进一步开放资本市场是提升人民币国际吸引力的首要任务，并建议通过扩大国债发行（包括置换地方政府债务），为全球投资者增加无风险人民币资产供给。Tian Xuan, president of Tsinghua University's National Institute of Financial Research, said that the next phase of China's capital market opening-up should focus on improving cross-border investment frameworks and expanding overseas institutions' access to onshore derivatives trading, such as futures on treasuries and stock indexes.清华大学国家金融研究院院长田轩则表示，中国资本市场下一阶段开放应重点完善跨境投资框架，并扩大境外机构参与在岸衍生品交易的范围，例如国债期货、股指期货等品种。prudent/ˈpruːdnt/adj.谨慎的；审慎的resilience/rɪˈzɪliəns/n.韧性；抗风险能力liberalization/ˌlɪbrəlaɪˈzeɪʃn/n.自由化

Send us your desired health topic or guest suggestionsTing Ting Guan's journey through childhood trauma and self-discovery led her to develop a revolutionary approach to healing. The Guan Jing Method combines spiraling, feminine movements with breath and visualization to transform stuck emotional energy where it actually lives—in the body.At the heart of Ting Ting's work lies a profound understanding that talk therapy alone often fails to reach the deepest layers of our wounds. As she eloquently explains, "Emotions are energy in motion. And what does our body do? It moves." This simple yet profound insight opens the door to healing that bypasses the analytical mind, directly addressing trauma stored in the pelvis, heart, shoulders, and jaw.The birth of the Guan Jing Method itself is a testament to its power. During one of her darkest moments—Ting Ting spontaneously began swirling movements that released the immense pressure she felt. When practicing these movements in public, strangers consistently approached her, drawn to the visible energy transformation. What started as personal healing ultimately went viral, launching a movement that has helped countless people recover from conditions conventional medicine deemed permanent.What makes this approach particularly valuable is its accessibility. You don't need special equipment or hours of practice. Specific, yet simple movements performed consistently create new neural pathways, gradually replacing self-sabotage with self-trust. The body begins remembering its innate capacity for wholeness.Ready to experience how embodied movement can transform your relationship with trauma, stress, or emotional disconnection?

En LA PRENSA el reportero Jorge Herrera escribió que fue una misteriosa llamada hecha por una mujer a la comandancia de la Cruz Roja, la que puso al descubierto tan macabro acontecimiento. La voz indicaba que en las calles de Cuitláhuac y Guanábana, Colonia Cosmopolita, había una pierna humana, además de seis pedazos de carne de una persona hallados en diferentes puntos de la capital y que alertaron a la policía el domingo 10 de diciembre de 1961.El responsable de estos hechos buscó los sitios más adecuados para abandonar esos restos, pero tuvo el suficiente cuidado de no dejar elemento alguno para la identificación de la mujer. La destreza con que actuó, al separar las extremidades y la cabeza del tronco, hacían pensar en un experto, ya que los cortes fueron perfectos, a decir del doctor Sergio Pacheco, quien examinó los restos.Puedes conocer más de este y otros casos en los Archivos secretos de La Prensa.

Today, we'll talk about Guan Yu, the legendary general whose unwavering loyalty, courage, and righteousness transformed him from a historical figure into an enduring cultural and spiritual icon deeply revered across China and the world.

Economists and policy advisers have said that it is a strategic necessity for China to further scale back holdings in United States government debt in order to safeguard national financial stability, amid waning confidence in the dollar-based system and persistent geopolitical tensions.经济学家和政策顾问表示，在对以美元为基础的体系的信心减弱和持续的地缘政治紧张局势下，中国进一步缩减对美国政府债务的持有是一种战略必要性，以维护国家金融稳定。To pursue a more balanced, controllable allocation of foreign exchange reserves, the country is also likely to increase investments in non-dollar assets, including financial instruments of its Asian trading partners and crucial resources such as gold, energy and food, they added.他们补充说，为了实现更平衡、更可控的外汇储备分配，中国还可能增加对非美元资产的投资，包括其亚洲贸易伙伴的金融工具以及黄金、能源和粮食等关键资源。Yu Yongding, an academic member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, called for China to continue reducing US government debt holdings in an orderly manner.中国社会科学院院士余永定呼吁中国继续有序减持美国国债。"The ideal approach would be to increase imports and utilize the excess foreign exchange reserves to purchase high-tech capital goods and strategic materials. This could require China to narrow its trade surplus, move toward a basic balance in the trade of goods and services, or even run a trade deficit for a while."“理想的做法是增加进口，利用多余的外汇储备购买高科技资本货物和战略物资。这可能需要中国缩小贸易顺差，实现商品和服务贸易的基本平衡，甚至在一段时间内出现贸易逆差。”"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. We must closely monitor the US fiscal situation and prepare contingency plans to avoid being caught off guard," Yu said.余表示：“非常时期需要非常措施。我们必须密切关注美国财政状况，制定应急计划，避免措手不及。”。After stepping back from being the second-largest holder of US debt to third place in March, China further reduced its holdings of US Treasury securities in May by $900 million, to $756.3 billion, the lowest since February 2009, when the reading was $744.2 billion, according to the US Department of the Treasury.根据美国财政部的数据，中国在3月份从美国债务的第二大持有者退居第三位后，5月份进一步减少了9亿美元的美国国债持有量，至7563亿美元，为2009年2月以来的最低水平，当时该数字为7442亿美元。The reduction bucked the overall rebound of foreign holdings in US debt after a drop in April. Foreign holdings of US Treasury securities increased from April's $9.013 trillion to $9.046 trillion in May, with major US debt holders such as Japan, the United Kingdom and Canada increasing their holdings.这一减少抵消了外国持有的美国债务在4月份下降后的整体反弹。外国持有的美债从4月份的9.013万亿美元增加到5月份的9.046万亿美元，日本、英国和加拿大等主要美国债务持有者增加了持有量。Wang Peng, an associate researcher at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, said that China's holding cut in May—the third consecutive month of decrease despite other major holders' increased exposure—stems from a continued effort to optimize the structure of foreign exchange reserves.北京社会科学院副研究员王鹏表示，尽管其他主要持有者的敞口增加，但中国5月份的减持是连续第三个月下降，这源于持续优化外汇储备结构的努力。The aim is to reduce the risks of overreliance on US government debt and limit potential economic losses from geopolitical tensions, including the risk of asset freezes in the event of US sanctions, Wang said, adding that the move also reflects concerns about growing US fiscal deficits and uncertainty about the US economy.王表示，此举的目的是降低过度依赖美国政府债务的风险，并限制地缘政治紧张局势造成的潜在经济损失，包括在美国制裁的情况下冻结资产的风险。他补充说，此举也反映了人们对美国财政赤字不断增长和美国经济不确定性的担忧。Pan Gongsheng, governor of the People's Bank of China, the nation's central bank, has pointed to the risks associated with the US dollar's dominance as the global reserve currency, saying last month that US fiscal and financial regulatory problems could spill over, while the dollar could be weaponized in geopolitical conflicts.中国央行中国人民银行行长潘功胜指出了美元作为全球储备货币的主导地位所带来的风险，他上个月表示，美国的财政和金融监管问题可能会蔓延，而美元可能会在地缘政治冲突中被武器化。Guan Tao, global chief economist at investment bank BOCI China, said there is no immediate risk of a US sovereign debt crisis, as market demand for US Treasuries remains strong, and US Treasury yields could fall if the US Federal Reserve cuts rates later this year. Bond yields move in the opposite direction of prices.投资银行中银国际中国（BOCI China）全球首席经济学家关涛（Guan Tao）表示，目前没有美国主权债务危机的风险，因为市场对美国国债的需求仍然强劲，如果美联储今年晚些时候降息，美国国债收益率可能会下降。债券收益率与价格走势相反。But the deeper concern, Guan said, is US debt's long-term sustainability. If US government debt keeps expanding without a path to stabilization, it will eventually trigger problems.但关表示，更令人担忧的是美国债务的长期可持续性。如果美国政府债务继续扩大而没有稳定的道路，最终将引发问题。Credit ratings agency Moody's downgraded the US credit rating to Aa1 in May, citing runaway deficits, while the US administration's massive tax-and-spending bill, effective this month, could intensify such concerns, as it is forecast to increase US federal deficits by more than $3 trillion over the next decade.信用评级机构穆迪在5月份将美国信用评级下调至Aa1，理由是赤字失控，而美国政府本月生效的巨额税收和支出法案可能会加剧这种担忧，因为预计未来十年美国联邦赤字将增加3万亿美元以上。Chen Weidong, director of the Research Institute of Bank of China, said, "As the third-largest holder of US Treasuries, China must build a multilayered, systematic strategy to guard against mounting risks tied to US sovereign debt and the dollar-based financial system.中国银行研究院院长陈卫东表示：“作为美国国债的第三大持有者，中国必须建立一个多层次、系统的战略，以防范与美国主权债务和以美元为基础的金融体系相关的日益增长的风险。"This is not only vital for China's financial security, but also has far-reaching implications for the evolution of the global financial order," Chen said, adding that China has cut its US Treasury holdings by over 40 percent since 2013.陈表示：“这不仅对中国的金融安全至关重要，而且对全球金融秩序的演变也有着深远的影响。”他补充说，自2013年以来，中国已将其持有的美国国债减少了40%以上。He said that key priorities for China going forward include gradually reducing US Treasury holdings, optimizing the dollar investment portfolio by allocating more to short-term securities, increasing non-dollar investments, and advancing renminbi internationalization.他说，中国未来的主要优先事项包括逐步减少美国国债持有量，通过将更多资金分配给短期证券来优化美元投资组合，增加非美元投资，以及推进人民币国际化。He also called for deepening financial cooperation within Asia—which together holds over 60 percent of global reserves in dollar-denominated assets—so that Asia can form an internal reserve circulation system and reduce its reliance on external markets.他还呼吁深化亚洲内部的金融合作，亚洲拥有全球60%以上的美元计价资产储备，这样亚洲就可以形成内部储备流通体系，减少对外部市场的依赖。China has been stepping up efforts to diversify its reserve assets. The country's official gold reserves rose for the eighth consecutive month to 73.9 million ounces at the end of June, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange said.中国一直在加紧努力，使其储备资产多样化。国家外汇管理局表示，截至6月底，该国官方黄金储备连续第八个月增长至7390万盎司。consecutiven.连续不断的/kənˈsɛkjʊtɪv/dollar-denominatedn.以美元标价的/ˈdɒlə dɪˈnɒmɪneɪtɪd/

Lumbar discectomy is a surgical procedure designed to relieve pressure on spinal nerves caused by a herniated disk. Unlike traditional open surgery, this technique uses small incisions and specialized tools to remove damaged disk material with minimal impact on surrounding tissue. Patients typically experience less pain and quicker recovery, making it a preferred option when conservative treatments fail.

—¿Cuántos años lleva pescando, don Ventura? —Llevo cuarenta y seis años pescando. Era un muchachito cuando empecé. Siempre andaba solito con una figa que hacíamos de varilla, pescando por los mangles para ayudar a la familia. Éramos muchos. —¿Y qué pescaba por allí? —Guanábano, langostines, pargo, róbalo... Había mucha pesca.... Antes el agua era bien clarita [y] se veía el carrucho.... Mi pai tenía una embarcación y nos tirábamos por allá buscando carrucho. Éramos tres hermanos pescando sin ropa, como Dios nos mandó al mundo. ¡Cómo gozábamos!... —Don Ventura, ¿la pesca le da lo suficiente como para mantener a la familia? —Te digo que ayer vendí cuatro ensartitas de pescao, con cuatro libras cada una. Algo es algo, y con mis cuatro hijos, recibo cupones. El problema es que ahora uno tiene que ir lejos para pescar lo suficiente para mantener la familia. »Antes, no. Antes se cogía mucho pescao, pero muchacha, ahora el pescao está corriendo, huyendo. En este mes deben venir los grandes a comer. Y para las Navidades la pesca está muy buena. »Cuando más se afloja la pesca es para la Semana Santa, ¡cuando más gente come pescao! Y es curioso. En Semana Santa, como en Navidades, tú ves las iglesias llenitas y la fila de carros causa tapón. Fuera de ese tiempo no se ve más de un par de carros estacionados por la iglesia. ¡Pero Dios es pa’ todo tiempo!1 Tiene toda la razón Ventura Pagán, de Boquerón, Cabo Rojo, uno de los pescadores comerciales de Puerto Rico a quienes entrevistó María Benedetti entre 1991 y 1995. Por una parte, es irónico que la pesca sea más floja alrededor de Semana Santa, ¡precisamente cuando más personas comen pescado! Y por otra, es curioso que haya tantos más feligreses que acuden a las iglesias en Semana Santa que en las otras cincuenta y una semanas del año. Pues si bien Dios se alegra de que le dediquemos toda una semana año tras año, se alegraría muchísimo más si le dedicáramos todo el año día tras día, reconociendo, como bien lo asegura don Ventura, que Dios es para todo tiempo. No es que Dios necesite que nosotros lo busquemos todo el santo año, sino que nosotros necesitamos buscarlo a Él todo el año para ser santos, no necesariamente santos en el sentido de ser perfectos sino de estar libres de toda culpa.2 Por eso nos exhorta San Pedro: «Sean ustedes santos en todo lo que hagan, como también es santo quien los llamó.»3 El que nos llamó, al que se refiere San Pedro, es Dios mismo. Y nos sigue llamando, no sólo en los días festivos religiosos sino todos los días, tanto entre semana como los domingos, llamándonos no sólo a todos mediante el repicar de las campanas de las iglesias, sino a cada uno, a la puerta de nuestro corazón. Dios, en la persona de su Hijo Jesucristo, nos invita hoy mismo a que tomemos con Él el alimento espiritual que nos ha preparado, así como después de su resurrección invitó a sus discípulos a que comieran con Él el pescado que les proveyó milagrosamente. Pues quiere que nosotros, al igual que Pedro en aquella ocasión, lo amemos más que a nadie y lo sigamos fielmente todos los días de nuestra vida.4 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 María Benedetti, «Pescando de cordel con don Ventura», Palabras de pescadores: Entrevistas con pescadores comerciales de Puerto Rico 1991‑1995 (Mayagüez: Sea Grant Publicaciones, 1997), pp. 7‑10. 2 Diccionario de la lengua española de la Real Academia Española (Vigésima Segunda Edición). 3 1P 1:15 4 Ap 3:20; Jn 21:1-22

We ask a lot of our spines. They keep us upright, they bend into myriad positions, and they protect our spinal cord, a huge job by itself. And they go the distance, doing all of those things, if we're lucky, well into our 90s. But the longer we live, the more we wear out our spines. That's where Dr. Jian Guan comes in. He handles complicated spinal issues that don't get better with rest, exercise or physical therapy. After medical school and residency, he did a fellowship in complex spinal neurosurgery at the Lahey Clinic in Massachusetts, one of the top U.S. spine centers. Many of the patients that Dr. Guan sees have been in accidents or experienced other trauma. But many others are the victims of poor posture and inactivity, two things that are detrimental to spine health. In this episode, Dr. Guan talks about how important it is to get up and out of chairs in front of our computers and how to sit when we must. Hit play and learn how to keep an incredible structure healthy for the long run.
