Send us Fan MailDoes Tylenol in pregnancy cause autism or ADHD? In this edition of Neo News, Ben and Eli break down a major JAMA Internal Medicine study from Hong Kong that followed hundreds of thousands of mother-child pairs and used a sibling-matched design to answer the question. The verdict: no association between prenatal acetaminophen exposure and autism spectrum disorder or ADHD, regardless of timing, pattern, or dose. But data alone doesn't win hearts. The conversation turns to the bedside: how do we explain study methodology to families without dismissing their concerns? Eli shares his approach to vaccine hesitancy in the NICU, built on continuity, persistence, and transparency, and draws lessons from journalism about corrections, trust, and why showing up matters.

//The Wire//2300Z October 1, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: CHINA HALTS ALL FUEL EXPORTS. MIGRANT STUDENT RIOTS CONTINUE IN FRANCE, HUNDREDS ARRESTED AS MOB ATTACKS REMAIN CONSTANT. ENERGY DEPARTMENT FILES CONTRACT FOR AN ADDITIONAL 40 MILLION BARREL RELEASE FROM THE STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Europe: The fuel crisis continues to deteriorate. This morning the White House requested France and Germany to tap into their emergency diesel reserves, to ease high prices. The proposal as described would release around 120 million barrels of diesel from the strategic reserves of EU member states over the next 6 months. Analyst Comment: So far, this is not a formalized demand, but rather an indirect request made by the White House. No European nation has officially responded to the idea, but many mainstream media reports suggest that the indirect threat has been made of cutting off diesel exports to noncompliant nations.France: Mass riots continue around the nation. Several days ago, protests began at schools around the country due to long schooldays and declining infrastructure. After the initial low-level protests began in Paris, civil unrest spread throughout the nation. This morning, limited protests and arson incidents had spread to Belgium, with students beginning to conduct similar protests there.Analyst Comment: This initially started small but after some vandalism took place on the first night, the situation snowballed from there to be more of an African uprising than a simple school schedule dispute. Now, a substantial number of the participants of the attacks are visibly not of French ancestry...most of the arson attacks are being conducted by the children of African migrants. Throughout this afternoon, the riots have expanded to include other non-student migrant enclaves. The mayor of Saint Dennis, Bally Bagayoko (who is ethnically Malian) joined students in setting fire to a trash can in the street, encouraging them to destroy more infrastructure. Many school officials and police officers have been attacked by violent mobs, and several hundred arrests have been made so far nationwide. As it stands, this situation is already very violent, and is only likely to increase in severity over the next few days.Far East: Last night, China suspended all exports of fuel for the month of October, effective immediately. Hong Kong and Macau have been granted an exemption, but all other export partners will receive zero fuel from China in October.Analyst Comment: This move will probably affect the decision that the United States has been weighing regarding halting diesel exports. China is not a major exporter of petroleum products, but Singapore and the Philippines are major importers of diesel from China, which is now completely cut off. Malaysia, Bangladesh, and Vietnam are also likely to be heavily affected by the halting of Chinese exports.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Yesterday the Department of Energy authorized an emergency release of 40 million barrels of crude from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). This is an attempt to retry a sale that was initially offered in June, that did not pan out because oil companies did not want to commit to the sale when prices were at new heights.As a reminder, SPR releases are really loans. When a private oil company is given oil from the SPR to sell on the open market, they have to replace it with more oil than they took out. Now that the market is in a disastrous state, a lot of oil companies have not wanted to take on that obligation, because they think that by the time they have to re-fill that loan, it won't be financially viable (because oil will be more expensive than it is now). Since the SPR has been drained heavily over the past few months, the current levels sit at roughly 283.8 million barrels.As a result, if petroleum companies take up this contract for all 40 million barrels, and don't replace it soon enough, SPR levels will probably bounce below the Congressionally mandated limit of 252 million barrels. Whether or not companies will indeed take this contract is up in the air, but as it stands emergency levels are being approached, and concerns are growing regarding the structural integrity of the SPR caverns housing America's emergency oil supply.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

On September 6, 1997, the day of Princess Diana's funeral, Jobert Abueva couldn't get out of bed. He was in a Hong Kong hotel room, paralyzed for the better part of 48 hours, unable to touch the club sandwich or hot tea he'd ordered, crying from exhaustion, loneliness, and homesickness. It was, he says, the lowest point of a career that from the outside looked like nothing but success.For most of his thirties, Jobert had been living the frenzied pace of a global marketing career, opening new markets for Herbal Essences across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, jumping from country to country in a matter of months, taking calls with U.S. headquarters at all hours. He got the raises and the next plum assignment. He also got the lack of sleep, the overeating, the overdrinking, and the signals he kept ignoring, until his body simply stopped.In this conversation, Jobert tells Lori how a childhood memory of Janus, the two-faced Roman god of beginnings and endings, surfaced in that hotel room and became the seed of a framework he now calls the Janus Plan. It's a conversation about what happens when you finally stop outrunning burnout, why looking backward is what makes it possible to move forward, and why boundaries only stick the second time you build them on purpose.What You'll Take AwayWhy ignoring burnout signals for years eventually catches up with even the highest performersHow a childhood memory of the Roman god Janus reframed Jobert's understanding of endings and beginningsWhy 'ponder the past' before 'frame the future' makes goals more sustainable than New Year's resolutionsHow setting boundaries the second time around, including turning down future expat assignments and developing a team instead of doing everything himself, reshaped his second corporate careerWhy any personal threshold, not just January 1st, can be the start of a meaningful new chapterGuest BioJobert E. Abueva grew up between four Asian countries and went on to a three-decade global marketing and philanthropy career, including launching Herbal Essences into international markets. He is a TEDx speaker, a Lambda Literary Prize recipient, and the author of The Janus Plan: A No-Resolutions Path to Begin Your Year with Intention. He lives in New Hope, Pennsylvania.Chapters & Key Timestamps00:00 Opening and episode premise00:39 The nomadic childhood that shaped a global career07:09 Launching Herbal Essences across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia10:55 The signals he ignored: exhaustion, overwork, and a frenzied pace12:00 September 6, 1997: the Hong Kong hotel room he couldn't leave15:48 A childhood memory of Janus reframes everything20:15 Ponder the past, frame the future: leaving corporate to write24:13 Setting boundaries the second time around26:05 The Janus Plan: a no-resolutions path to a new year34:24 His hype song and the moment it found him36:17 Where to find Jobert and the invitation to 'be like Janus'Resources MentionedBook: The Janus Plan: A No-Resolutions Path to Begin Your Year with Intention by Jobert E.

Every second call at the moment ends the same way. The budget has tightened the screws, the pay rise didn't move the needle, so what if we just moved to Singapore? Or Dubai. Or Hong Kong. Ben and Siobhan ran the numbers, and the first thing they found is that Australia is a lower tax country than the UK, Canada, New Zealand and most of Europe. The catch is where we collect it. Almost 43% of every tax dollar in Australia comes from personal income, one of the heaviest reliances on personal income tax in the developed world, and that is exactly why it feels the way it does. From there it gets practical. What you take home on $100k, $250k, $500k and $1 million in Sydney versus Singapore, Hong Kong and Dubai. What those countries charge you instead, from a 60% stamp duty on foreigners to private everything. How you actually get in. The tax bill Australia hands you on the way out. And the two residency tests the ATO uses to decide whether you really left, because the people getting caught aren't the ones who moved, they're the ones who pretended to. WHAT YOU'LL GET OUT OF IT Why Australia's total tax take is below the OECD average, and why it feels worse than that Take-home pay on $100k, $250k, $500k and $1m across Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Dubai Zero capital gains, zero on dividends and zero on interest, and what these countries charge instead The employment pass, the top talent pass and the golden visa, and what each one costs to qualify for Monaco, the Caribbean, Vanuatu and the other places that make the list The deemed disposal tax bill you pay when you leave, without selling anything Source tax versus residency tax, and why your Australian property still gets taxed The six-month test and the centre of vital economic interest Who relocating actually works for, and who ends up worse off The tax-smart moves available to you if you stay CHAPTERS 00:07 Should you move to Singapore to save tax? 01:33 Australia is below the OECD average, with one big but 03:50 Why the pay rise stopped moving the needle 04:30 Singapore, Hong Kong and Dubai, why those three 05:46 Take-home pay on $100k, $250k, $500k and $1m 08:13 One year in Dubai equals five years here 09:22 Zero CGT, zero on dividends, zero on interest 10:09 Tax residency is the whole game 11:23 How these countries tax you instead 12:13 Getting in: employment passes, talent passes and golden visas 15:37 Monaco, the Caribbean and Vanuatu 19:21 The deemed disposal bill on the way out 20:20 Source tax versus residency tax 24:19 The six-month test and centre of vital economic interest 26:16 Line-ball residency cases 28:37 Who this actually works for 29:38 Is it worth six months away from your family? 30:36 The tax-smart moves if you stay 32:33 Wrap Smarter money moves start here.

Bruce Lee torna a Hong Kong, per inseguire il sogno del cinema e tenere fede a una promessa fatta a sé stesso, una promessa che manterrà: i suoi film diventano successi incredibili e lo trasformano in una star. Il tempo gli darà quindi ragione, ma diventerà anche, inconsapevolmente, un avversario, perché dal 1971 inizia il conto alla rovescia e per quanto Bruce, in qualche modo, il tempo lo sconfiggerà, una grande domanda resta ancora: cos'è successo davvero al Piccolo Drago?SCOPRI IL MIO ULTIMO LIBRO: "Il mistero delle origini dell'uomo.

This episode feels like being on a rollercoaster! Aurore shares with TRAHK the anguish of suffering from RED-S, which is an important lesson for all endurance athletes to pay attention to. She was overjoyed to recover just in time to run the TDS where she finished 4th. She also talks about what it's like to be in the Salomon team and why she loves Lantau Island so much. Since she moved to Hong Kong in December 2025, we can now claim her as a Hong Kong-based athlete who has the third-highest ITRA score (741) of women based in Hong Kong. With the usual wrap-up by Jenny Buck and Michael Gay at the end. photo credits (links to Instagram pages): @salomonrunning @auroredacier @jenny_buckhk @jo_lodder @actionasiaevents @the4tigerschallenge @kenichi9639 @mt.fuji100 @sportograf.com#hongkongtrailrunning #hongkongtrailrunners #trailrunninginhongkong #hktrailrunners #hktrailrunning #salomonrunning #tds #lantau #4tigers #9dragons

S&P futures are indicating a higher open following a firmer Asia session. Japan led gains in the region, with the Nikkei up +2%. Mainland China and Hong Kong posted moderate gains, while South Korea was flat. European markets are also higher in early trading. Treasury yields are stabilizing after the 30-year touched a 24-year high, aided by a pullback in oil prices and NY Fed President Williams downplaying near-term rate hike urgency.Companies Mentioned: Nidec, Kalshi

Velkommen til Sæson 12! Det er utroligt dejligt at være tilbage i Moviebox. Tiden går for hurtigt, men så er det jo rart at vi bare kan trykke på rewind. Vi har været væk længe, og som altid er grunden, at Kaptajn Video har ligget underdrejet med projekter og arbejde. Men der findes ikke noget sted, der er dejligere at vende tilbage til end Moviebox, så velkommen til jer, velkommen til os og VELKOMMEN TIL MOVIEBOX! Lad os komme igang: Vi skyder sæsonen i gang ved at vende kasketten og rulle ud i de skumle amerikanske baggårde og undergrundsbaner. Temaet er nemlig "Moviebox in da hood". Følg med. Niels åbner ballet i L.A. omkring årtusindskiftet og har simpelthen taget to film med, fordi én Leprechaun-film aldrig er nok... Yes, 'Leprechaun in the Hood' (2000) og 'Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood' (2003). Warwick Davis er tilbage som den titulære gnom, der denne gang krydser klinger (og ryger bong) med selveste Ice-T i en verden af magiske fløjter og guldskatte. Sonny hæver produktionsværdien markant med Walter Hills neglebidende action-thriller 'Trespass' (1992). Her spiller Bill Paxton og William Sadler to brandmænd og lykkeriddere, der finder et skattekort og pludselig er fanget i en forladt bygning, omringet af et tungt bevæbnet slæng anført af Ice-T og Ice Cube. En ægte, intens omgang bøf i burgeren. Ask runder af og tager os med til New York anno 1976 med den ultra low-budget 'Devil's Express' (også kendt som 'Gang Wars'). Vi prøvede desperat at få Ice-T med her også for at fuldende et ægte hattrick, men da han kun var 18 år gammel i '76, havde han nok lidt for travlt med at rulle rundt i sit eget hood til at lege med dæmoner. I stedet får vi skuespilleren med det fantastiske navn Warhawk Tanzania, der forsøger at løse en blodig bandekrig mellem The Blackjacks og The Red Dragons med ren karate, alt imens en 2000 år gammel dæmon fra Hongkong hærger nede i byens undergrundsbane. Skulle du i øvrigt sidde og få sved på panden over, at episoden slutter for hurtigt, så træk vejret dybt og læg vejen forbi patreon.com/cw/moviebox. Her kan du nemlig melde dig ind i Klub Moviebox og få adgang til vores fulde, ubeskårne episoder. Og netop denne sæsonstart er ekstra, ekstra, ekstra lang derovre! Vi sidder faktisk og snakker sammen i over en halv time, inden selve episoden overhovedet går i gang, så der er enormt meget ekstra guld (eller hvad du vil kalde det) at hente for Klub Moviebox-medlemmerne. Vi er varmet op, dæmonerne er sluppet løs, og vi er klar til at tage hul på en helt ny sæson, så skru op og tryk play. Med venlig hilsen,Casper, Ask, Sonny & Niels

Comments/ideas: ACFpod@outlook.comAsia has no shortage of climate ambition. What it still struggles with is turning that ambition into capital. Over the past eight years, Yvonne Huang of Earth & Life Symbio has watched this gap play out, and she's less interested in the ESG deck presented in the boardroom than in what actually changes on the factory floor on Monday morning. In this conversation she explains why green steel is no longer a technology question but a question of who will buy it and at what price, and why reaching net zero means little if we lose clean oceans and healthy soil along the way.

Our China Industrials Analyst Sheng Zhong explains how AI, robotics and a major investment cycle could transform China's manufacturing base and its role in global supply chains.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Sheng Zhong: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Sheng Zhong, Morgan Stanley's China Industrials analyst. Today – how AI and automation are transforming China's factories, and what that could mean for global manufacturing. It's Tuesday, September 29th, at 3 PM in Hong Kong.For decades, Made in China has been shorthand for scale, speed, and low-cost manufacturing. Now the story is shifting toward something more ambitious: using technology, productivity, and industrial know-how to shape not just what gets made, but how it gets made. We call this transition Industry 5.0. Industry 4.0 was about connecting machines and digitizing production. Industry 5.0 goes a step further, using AI to improve how factories schedule production, manage quality, and maintain equipment. China is starting from a position of enormous scale. It represents roughly 28 percent of global manufacturing value-added and covers all 666 industrial subcategories defined by the United Nations. There are already more than 30,000 basic-level smart factories and more than 100 million connected industrial devices. That industrial base also gives China a strong platform for robotics. Traditional industrial robots generally perform fixed tasks. Embodied AI could make machines more flexible, allowing them to gain new capabilities through software and updated models. That could effectively turn some physical labor into software-upgradable capital. And the numbers give you a sense of how quickly this could scale. China could go from selling about 8 million robots a year in 2025 to 29 million in 2030, and 76 million by 2035. That's roughly a ninefold increase in annual sales in just a decade. Scaling robotics and AI across such a large manufacturing base will require a lot of capital. We estimate Industry 5.0 could generate about $12 trillion USD of incremental industrial investment in China from 2026 through 2035. Around $5.5 trillion USD would go toward factory upgrades, including robotics, smart equipment, and software, while roughly $6 trillion USD would support new industrial capacity. But that investment cycle is likely to build gradually. We expect industrial capex growth of about 4 to 5 percent annually in 2026 and 2027, before accelerating toward 6 to 7 percent from 2028 as excess capacity is absorbed, technology bottlenecks ease, and AI adoption broadens across factories. If that investment translates into higher productivity, the economic impact could be meaningful. By 2035, China's industrial profit margin could rise to 8 percent from roughly 5 today. Industry 5.0 could lift China's potential GDP level by around 3.5 percent, helping cushion some of the drag from an aging population. And China's share of global manufacturing value-added could increase from about 28 percent to 30 percent. And those changes would not stop at China's borders. Final assembly can shift to new locations, but the supplier networks, machinery and production know-how behind it are much harder to replicate. We estimate only around 40 percent of China-to-U.S. exports can be readily substituted. That means China's role may increasingly extend beyond exporting finished goods to supplying the equipment, components and industrial systems used to make them elsewhere. That is the move from Made in China toward Made by China. Thanks for listening.

In September, Alternative for Germany (the AfD) dominated two regional elections. Ahead of the next federal election, it is polling well ahead of its political rivals. When far-right populism takes hold in Germany, as it is in most Western Countries, it needs to be taken seriously.In this conversation, Samuel shares what he has learnt from working in Germany over the past decade while Amanda translates and explores some of what is happening in Australia with the rise of One Nation, particularly drawing on her work in the Hunter region.Like usual, the digest isn't a space for hot-takes and quick fixes but a conversation about exploring what this might mean - both trying to understand how these parties are working, and what it means for how more progressive forces might work in response.====For more on ChangeMakers check us out:Via our Website - https://changemakerspodcast.org (where you can also sign up to our email list!)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMakersPodcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changemakerspodcast/Threads: https://www.threads.com/@changemakerspodcastBlue Sky: https://www.threads.com/@amandatattersall.bsky.socialFor more about Samuel:Personal site: https://www.samuelmchu.comThe Campaign for Hong Kong: https://www.thecampaignforhongkong.orgDemocracy in Flight: https://www.democracyinflight.orgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samuelmchuTwitter/X: https://x.com/samuelmchuFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/samuelmchuInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/samuelmchuFor more about Amanda:Personal site: https://amandatattersall.com/On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandatattersall/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amanda.tattersallBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/amandatattersall.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.com/@amandatattersallHer new books are called People Power in Cities & Conscious Tribes: thinking differently about making a difference.

On the Son Rise Morning Show, Matt Swaim welcomes Kathryn Jean Lopez, senior fellow at the National Review Institute and religion editor of National Review, to discuss the ongoing imprisonment of Jimmy Lai, the Catholic convert, entrepreneur, and former Hong Kong newspaper publisher. Lai has been imprisoned in Hong Kong since 2020 and has spent much of that time in solitary confinement. Lopez discusses his Catholic faith, his witness amid suffering, and the letters he has written to his daughter, Claire. Her recent cancer diagnosis has brought renewed attention to the family's hope that Jimmy Lai will be released so he can be with her. Lopez recently wrote about the situation in National Review. The conversation also considers the broader questions surrounding religious freedom, persecution, China, and the witness of Christians who remain faithful in the midst of suffering. Matt and Kathryn reflect on Venerable Fulton J. Sheen, his warnings about atheistic communism, and the importance of praying for Jimmy Lai and his family. Listen as Kathryn Jean Lopez shares why Jimmy Lai's faith and perseverance offer a powerful Christian witness—and why she is asking people to pray for his release.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Over the past few years, I've had to reckon with loss and grief that felt unresolved, and perhaps unresolvable. It's something we're all dealing with in different ways. When loved ones die, we know they're dead. Everything that comes with that remains horrible, even maybe unbearable, but there is no ambiguity over the fact that a loss happened. That's not the case with ambiguous loss, the reality that every loss does not hold the promise of anything like resolutions. Take people who were forcibly disappeared in war. Their loved ones just don't know for sure that they're dead. There have been cases of people thought to be disappeared actually coming back from the dead, as it were. When the Assad regime fell nearly 2 years ago, there were some Lebanese prisoners released that were ostensibly missing since the 80s. Loved ones of those disappeared just don't know, and many end up expressing a sense of paralysis, as it time was frozen the day they disappeared, and never unfroze. Linear time stops making much sense. Has a year passed since the ‘death'? What if they're still alive? Can one even live with that, or is one stuck. Ambiguous loss can also be more ‘mundane', for lack of a better term. I've moved a lot these past few years. Ever since I left Lebanon in 2015, I've moved places and countries many times. Each move brings with it good and bad, and the bad can be a sense of loss that is both permanent and unsettled. In that, ambiguous loss is as universal as it gets. We just don't usually have the terminology to understand it better. So I had Shui-yin Sharon Yam on to talk about ambiguous loss. She is Professor of Writing, Rhetoric, and Digital Studies, and a faculty affiliate of Gender and Women's Studies at the University of Kentucky. This was actually her suggestion. Yam is a returning guest of TFTT. She was on in 2022 to talk about “Untellable Stories, Reproductive Justice & Complicating Acts of Advocacy” and before that in 2020 to talk about “Hong Kong, Disappearances and the Emotional Cost of Disinformation.”Sharon's Recommendations:Past Lives (Movie)Wayward Lives by Saidiya HartmanAll Fours by Miranda JulyAdmin: I have a lot of episodes that I'm recording in the coming weeks.

Matthew Toffolo chatted with the very talented artist JOYA, an independent singer-songwriter and actress from Hong Kong. Joya discussed her music video "Good Stuff," which was shown at the LGBTQ+ Film Festival and serves as her most explicit coming-out project, depicting the normalcy of a queer relationship. She explained the collaborative process with director Edwin Lai and the intention behind the video to showcase queer joy and intimacy. Joya also shared her upcoming EP release, her work on a short film titled "As It Should Be," and her preference for live performances and analog formats like vinyl. The discussion touched on the themes of her work, such as hopeful optimism and the concept of "What If It All Works Out?" Joya reflected on her personal life, including her marriage and young daughter, and how these experiences have influenced her creative urgency and direction. —- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

Charles Li spent over a decade running one of the world's major stock exchanges and chairing JP Morgan China before turning his attention to an entirely different challenge: bringing institutional capital to small businesses — franchise owners, landlords, and local shopkeepers — that Wall Street has traditionally struggled to reach. In this episode, Charles, Founder and Chairman of Micro Connect, joins Alberto Lidji to explore how institutional capital might finally find its way to the small businesses that need it most. This conversation was recorded at the PBC 2026 Forum — Philanthropy for Better Cities 2026 — in Hong Kong, and forms part of a special series made possible by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, marking the forum's 10th anniversary, convened by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, in association with the Institute of Philanthropy. What does it take to convince Wall Street investors to back a business model built on the transparency of everyday transactions rather than traditional balance sheets? How does artificial intelligence change what's possible when it comes to assessing risk at that scale? And what can decades spent inside the world's biggest financial institutions teach us about building something entirely new for the world's smallest ones? Charles also reflects on his own path, from working on an oil rig, to Columbia Law School, to the top of Hong Kong's stock exchange — and what that journey tells us about reinventing yourself as the world around you changes. About Charles Li: He was appointed Chairman of JP Morgan China from 2003 to 2009. He joined Merrill Lynch in 1994, where he served as President of Merrill Lynch China from 1999 to 2003. He holds a BA in English Literature from Xiamen University, an MA in Journalism from the University of Alabama, and a JD from Columbia Law School.

Happy Mindset Monday!Jobert Abueva says January 1st might be the worst time to become a new person. We've stripped the reflection out of the new year and replaced it with resolutions that fail by February.Jobert is a global marketing executive, TEDx speaker, and author of The Janus Plan, named after the two-faced Roman god who looks to the past and the future at once. His message is about the threshold, that in-between moment where one chapter ends and the next begins, and what happens when you pause there on purpose.His own threshold hit in a Hong Kong hotel room in 1997, burned out and unable to get out of bed after three years of a jet-set career.In this one:Why reflection is the missing step in the new yearThe good, the bad, and the uglyThresholds and why every ending deserves a pauseWhy achievement kept leaving him emptyContribution over accumulationThe "threshold brief" for corporate planning

Em 1906, aos dezenove anos, William Henry Branson começou o serviço denominacional como colportor. Foi ordenado em 1910. Em 1911, presidia a Associação da Carolina do Sul — aos vinte e três anos, um ano depois da ordenação, cinco anos depois de vender livros de porta em porta, sem formação superior concluída. E em 1920, aos trinta e três, foi encarregado de organizar a Divisão Africana. Não de dirigir uma estrutura existente: de criar do zero a arquitetura administrativa adventista para um continente inteiro. Mudou-se para a Cidade do Cabo com a esposa e dois filhos pequenos, e presidiu aquilo por uma década — de onde saíram Pioneering in the Lion Country, de 1925, e Missionary Adventures in Africa, de 1928. Depois vieram as duas passagens pela China. A primeira em 1939, em plena guerra sino-japonesa. A segunda de 1946 a 1950, no período que os registros institucionais chamam de grande perplexidade — a fase final da guerra civil. Foi ali que Branson se tornou conhecido como grande promotor do evangelismo público, com campanhas em Pequim e outras cidades, seguidas pelas reuniões de Fordyce Detamore em Hong Kong e Xangai, com milhares de conversos. Evangelizando, literalmente, contra o relógio de uma revolução. A República Popular foi proclamada em outubro de 1949 e o campo fechou atrás dele. Foi esse homem que a Sessão de 1950 elegeu presidente, duas semanas e meia depois do início da Guerra da Coreia. E a assembleia respondeu ao mundo que se fechava convocando os membros de toda parte a um evangelismo mundial sem paralelo, ao qual todo outro interesse seria subordinado — com a meta de dobrar a membresia, de setecentos e cinquenta mil para um milhão e meio. O que veio nos quatro anos seguintes: centros evangelísticos permanentes comprados ou construídos nas grandes cidades — o New Gallery Theater em Londres, um hotel remodelado e depois o centro da Times Square em Nova York, e unidades no Cairo, em Beirute, em Osaka, em Manila, no Rio de Janeiro e em Jacarta. R. Allan Anderson atraindo quatro mil pessoas ao Carnegie Hall; George Vandeman falando a sete mil no Coliseum de Londres. Pela primeira vez, um evangelista profissional eleito para dirigir a Associação Ministerial. A estreia do Faith for Today na televisão de Nova York, somando-se ao alcance que A Voz da Profecia tinha no rádio desde 1942. E os números, sem inflação. Ao final de 1950, setecentos e cinquenta e seis mil setecentos e doze membros. O milhão e meio foi atingido ao final de 1964: um milhão, quinhentos e oito mil e cinquenta e seis. Catorze anos exatos — e a denominação registrou os catorze anos sem maquiar. No arco completo da campanha, a membresia fora da América do Norte mais que dobrou. O crescimento verdadeiro do período não precisa de cifra falsa. Esta aula também examina o outro lado do mandato, e é preciso anunciá-lo aqui. O mesmo presidente que impulsionou a expansão tomou, em 1951, providências para fechar a Bible Research Fellowship — a confraria que professores adventistas de Bíblia haviam formado por conta própria em 1943 — e propôs, no lugar dela, a Conferência Bíblica de 1952, convocada, segundo a documentação de Gilbert Valentine, para contrapor o que ele percebia como a influência objetável do grupo. Foi a maior reunião teológica da história adventista até então, com quatrocentos e cinquenta delegados e o Our Firm Foundation que formaria gerações. Também foi uma conferência com todas as apresentações comprometidas por escrito de antemão. A aula examina o que isso ensina sobre a diferença entre apoiar e absorver. FONTES - BRANSON, W. H.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Marty gives Clif the movie Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives! to watch and Clif gives Marty the movie Rush Hour 2 to watch.First up is Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives!, the 1989 follow-up to the cult favorite about the mysterious rock star who faked his own death. This time, Eddie is alive, living in Canada and apparently trying to leave his rock-and-roll past behind. Clif and Marty take a trip back to the end of the '80s to see what happened when the filmmakers decided to bring Eddie back. They discover a movie filled with new music, old memories, hair-metal-era production choices and some truly goofy sequel logic. They also revisit the first film's place in music history and wonder how a movie made in 1989 could feel both current and old at the same time.Then it's Rush Hour 2, the 2001 action-comedy sequel starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. Carter and Lee head to Hong Kong for what is supposed to be a vacation, only to become involved in a counterfeit-money operation. Clif and Marty dig into the chemistry between Chan and Tucker, the action sequences, the comedy, the supporting cast and the very specific early-2000s flavor of a movie that couldn't resist putting Jeremy Piven in the middle of the film.Along the way: Scotti Bros. Records, Weird Al Yankovic, hair metal, the mysterious power of a mustache and Brett Ratner's Entourage connection. #TalkingPondo #FilmPodcast #EddieAndTheCruisers2 #RushHour2 #MichaelPare #JackieChan #ChrisTucker #MovieReview Support the showFind our films here:The Love Song of William H ShawRevenge of ZoeWriting Fren-ZeeMaking Pondo on FacebookBlueskyInstagramMaking Pondo on Letterboxd:Season OneSeason TwoSeason ThreeSeason FourTheme Song "The Rain" by Russ PacePhotos by Geoffrey Notkin

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to the Joint Dynamics Podcast! In this episode, JD podcast host Andrew Cox | Joint Dynamics sits down with licensed clinical and performance psychologist, certified Somatic Experiencing practitioner, and author Dr. Richard Oelberger PhD.Dr. Oelberger brings an extraordinary, eclectic background to human performance - spanning from training alongside a Navy SEAL and Shaolin monks in China, to working in high-pressure environments like LA's Skid Row, maximum-security prisons, and the SMART crisis team, to advising elite MMA fighters and professional athletes. In this deep dive, Andrew and Richard explore how deep somatic trauma release, subtraction, and mental conditioning translate into practical execution skills under pressure.In this episode, we explore:Somatic Experiencing & Crisis Burnout: How physical tension and trauma are stored in the body (referencing Peter Levine's SIBAM model), and how somatic release helps practitioner and patient step out of chronic "crisis mode."Lessons from Skid Row & Maximum Security Prisons: The power of subtraction for breakthroughs, meeting mistrust with care (including a story about negotiating over four bananas), and why rehabilitation and connection trump punishment.The Origin of The Zero Method: How Richard's PhD research, spiritual psychology, his father's health decline, and his own back surgery shaped his book The Zero Method: Awaken the Hero Within.Identity & "Aging into the Body": Parallels between MMA fighters and everyday life recovery, learning self-compassion, and shifting from raw competitive intensity to longevity-focused movement like swimming, yoga, and dancing.Tough Love, Legacy & Community: Insights from Shaolin monks and Navy SEALs on complete commitment, transitioning from personal success to legacy, and the critical role of connection and men's groups in emotional healing.

Suck It Up is Tactile Games' new eat-and-grow hole game, and three months after soft launch it's doing ~$30K a day in IAP — about to overtake Lily's Garden as the Danish studio's biggest title (and Lily's Garden made well over half a billion). Matej Lančarič, Jakub Remiar, and Felix Braberg walk the game: a Hole 'Em All-style timed core with the smart differentiators (live animals that jump and hide in levels, a level-based "album" of collectible objectives, and an untimed Zen Garden mode that conveniently makes the "no timer, no stress" creatives true), then the category detective work — the whole thing traces back to Donut County's 2017 Steam trailer, which Voodoo copied into Hole.io (still 300K downloads a day today after a revival), and now Hole 'Em All, Moon Active's Hole Stars, ironSource's Holey 3D, Grand Games' Jelly Hole, and a spiky Hong Kong "Hole Busters" are all fighting for it. Felix's ad-mon read: interstitials only from level 35, rewarded from level 50, eight placements, ad revenue likely under 15% — a deliberate IAP-first, retention-first setup (D1 probably north of 50%, 36 minutes a day). ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Suck It Up — Tactile's new hole game02:40 The core — timed levels, live animals, and the Zen Garden "no stress" mode06:40 Album, no-ads pack & the slim feature set09:20 The numbers — $30K/day, about to pass Lily's Garden11:00 The category — from Donut County's trailer to Hole.io's 300K/day14:50 Who's in the hole race — Hole 'Em All, Moon Active, ironSource, Hole Busters19:40 Ad-mon — interstitials at 35, rewarded at 50, retention play24:30 The UA — 60 playables, Unity works, and Facebook is goneThis episode is brought to you by Kinoa — the AI operating system for mobile game operations: flows, live segments, in-app messages, push notifications, and A/B testing in one place, run by the operators who own the numbers.

On this week's Defense & Aerospace Report Business Roundtable, sponsored by Bell, Dr. “Rocket” Ron Epstein of Bank of America Securities and Richard Aboulafia of the AeroDynamic advisory consultancy join host Vago Muradian to discuss a bumpy week on Wall Street as bond yields rise along with diesel prices that are up 77 percent over the past year; President Trump hosts Xi Jinping in Washington for a state visit; Washington wants China to return an F-35 fighter cockpit canopy and weapons bay door that ended up in Hong Kong on its way to the United States from Australia for repair; the agreement Denmark, Greenland and the United States signed to allow more American bases on the world's largest island; the Pentagon presses ahead with another framework agreement with Lockheed Martin, this time for the Air Force's AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile that would succeed Raytheon's Advanced Air-to-Air Missile; and Turkish Airlines' order for 150 new 737 Max jetliners from Boeing.

On the maiden voyage of the MV Atlas, the world's largest cruise ship, a ghost operative team attempts a silent extraction of a high-value defector carrying an impossible secret: an ancient, non-human artifact. Hidden amongst twenty-two thousand passengers and stalked by an elite foreign intelligence network, the team must execute a precise, high-stakes tradecraft operation in international waters — one wrong move could blow their cover and trigger a confrontation that could break the global order.Our companion short story, “The Winner,” follows an ordinary man named Dennis who improbably wins a full-ownership condo aboard Atlas through a contest — only to find small, impossible details waiting for him in his new home that make the win feel a lot less like luck. It's a quieter, stranger corner of this world, and it raises questions about Atlas itself that the main story hasn't answered yet.If you have a story you'd like to contribute to the series, you can visit https://submissions.soundconceptmedia.com/You can support the show by becoming a paid subscriber on Substack: https://auditoryanthology.substack.comBy becoming a paid subscriber you can listen to every episode completely ad-free!Curator: Keith Conrad linktr.ee/keithrconradNarrator: Darren Marlar https://darrenmarlar.com/Other shows hosted by Darren:Weird Darkness: https://weirddarkness.com/Paranormality Magazine: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/paranormalitymagMicro Terrors: Scary Stories for Kids: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/microterrorsRetro Radio – Old Time Radio In The Dark: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/retroradioChurch of the Undead: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/churchoftheundead Hosted on Acast.

This week, we're diving into the everyday food of two of the world's best food cities, Hong Kong and New Orleans. First, chef Lucas Sin joins us to talk about the iconic dishes found at a cha chaan teng, a casual Hong Kong-style food diner. Dishes like scrambled egg sandwiches, delicious milk teas, and golden rice, all born from limited pantry ideas and reinvented with kitchen hacks and techniques. Lucas Sin is the author of Cha Chaan Teng: Comfort Food from Hong Kong's Iconic Diners. He left us with his recipe for the Hong Kong classic, Baked Pork Chop Rice. Then, we turn to the origins of the food scene in one of America's great food cities, New Orleans, with historian Dr. Ashley Rose Young. She walks us through the history of the public markets, tells us about New Orleans' most iconic street vendors like Mr. Okra, and how street food shaped New Orleans' culture and cuisine. Dr. Ashley Rose Young is the author of Nourishing Networks: The Public Culture of Food in New Orleans.Head to our YouTube channel and watch this extended cut of our interview with Lucas Sin.

As Chinese President Xi Jinping meets with President Trump, human rights activists and world leaders are making a renewed push for the release of 78-year-old pro-democracy publisher Jimmy Lai. Sentenced to 20 years under Hong Kong's draconian national security laws, the founder of Apple Daily faces deteriorating health after years in solitary confinement.In this episode of the FOX Business Rundown, host Lydia Hu speaks with Jimmy Lai's son, Sebastien Lai, who is campaigning tirelessly for his father's freedom. Sebastien reflects on not seeing his father in six years, the harsh reality of his father's confinement, and why he believes securing Jimmy Lai's release is "a phone call away" for Beijing—if international leaders step up.

A fortune stands just out of reach, and one beautifully crafted Martian necklace seems capable of removing the only person standing in the way. But a perfect murder requires more than the perfect weapon when someone else knows exactly what that necklace can do. Murderer's Chain by Wenzell Brown. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Wenzell Brown was an American author and educator born in Portland, Maine, in 1911. He earned his master's degree from Columbia University and taught in Puerto Rico and China, where he was caught up in the Second World War and interned after the fall of Hong Kong. Those experiences inspired his 1943 book Hong Kong Aftermath. Brown went on to write crime novels, true crime, mysteries, and short fiction, winning an Edgar Award for They Died in the Chair. He also ventured into science fiction, with 1 novel and six short stories including today's tale, published on page 10 in Fantastic Universe in March 1960, Murderer's Chain by Wenzell Brown… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A desperate war rages between sky-borne colonists and unseen creatures that rule the stone beneath their feet.
