Persistence in the Face of StruggleYou know we are living in cynical times when close to half our politicians and arbiters of the social and political debate tout conspiracy theories and polarizing dialogue for what can only be seen as financial gain, fame, and power. As we have democratized our information platforms, we have opened the door to the rampant irresponsibility and untruths that permeate the ether of our current social context. We know this to be true as good reporting, thorough investigations and extensive court trials reveal the extent to which some in the media and in the government have, for example, deliberately spread mistruths about the 2020 election being stolen or the mass shooting at Sandy Hook not being a real event. They engage in this dangerous posturing for ratings and quite frankly survival, but we are all paying a price for their profound negligence.  Juxtapose the Machiavellian maneuverings of those above to what I can only describe as the heroic efforts of Connor Schoen, who has founded an organization with his colleague Tony Hsu called Breaktime. At Breaktime, Connor and Tony, and the team of stalwarts they lead, battle with what can only be called an epidemic of homelessness in the youth population in Boston, MA. While the statistics and numbers of homeless youth are startling in Boston, those impacted most by youth homelessness are not unfamiliar to us. They are LGBTQ+ youth. And if you are a black, gay male your chances increase significantly of experiencing homelessness. They are the mentally ill. They are BIPOC and their families. They are youth emancipated from the Foster Care System. Those folks who often exists on the margins. When I speak with Connor about this epidemic impacting so many lives, he has had a passion for this type of work his whole life. That passion only increased when, during his process of coming out as a pansexual person while he was a student at Harvard University, he was working with a shelter that serviced homeless youth, most of whom were kicked out of their homes because they were LGBTQ+. Connor saw the irony of his own situation, that there but for the grace of having parents, brothers and a support system sustaining him through his process of embracing his identity, that homeless youth could have been him. It was a turning point that brought into focus for Connor what he should be doing with his life. And he boldly walked in the direction of that calling and co-founded Breaktime. And while Generation Z takes a bad rap for being entitled and consumed with Snapchat, Connor and his team of GenZers are fighting for legislative and social solutions to a real problem that if you walk down any street in most cities you cannot help but see – our homeless populations are increasing as are the numbers of young people experiencing homelessness at some point in their lives. And once they get into the cycle of homelessness, it is increasingly difficulty to break that cycle. So, while our leaders wrangle over who they can kick off which committees in Washington DC and subpoena power, the PEOPLE (we who are on the ground here in real life) need real support, and real solutions to real problems.It's people like Connor who are teaching us what inspirational and transformative leadership is. What the good fight looks like, even in the quicksand-like maze of legislative agendas. As he says, “Persistence in the face of struggle to create change is so important. It's so important to remain committed to something that you know is right even if it feels like nothing is moving.”At the Podium WebsiteFor more information contact Patrick at patrick@patrickhueyleadership.com

It was 1997.  I had just graduated from high school and had the opportunity to go to Europe with my beloved older sister and a group from the University of Utah.  Our first stop was London! I loved everything about London! And there was one phrase in particular that has stuck with me all these years later."Mind the Gap".It is a warning to for those getting on or off the Tube (underground train) to watch out for the 8 inch space between the platform and the train, so you don't get tripped up by the gap or stuck in it.There is a book called "The Gap and the Gain" by Dan Sullivan & Dr. Benjamin Hardy that talks about how successful healthy people live in "The Gain" and "Mind the Gap" so to speak. Find the book: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-gap-and-the-gain-dan-sullivan/1139200380Today, I...1. talk briefly about the concept of the Gap & the Gain.2. Juxtapose what the two look like and feel like in life.3. Provide a few real life examples of what "living in the Gap or the Gain" looks like. One example I use when comparing the two is that when you live "in the GAP" you have a Fixed Mindset and when you live "in the Gain" you possess a Growth Mindset based off of Dr. Carol Dweck's theory of "Fixed Mindset versus Growth Mindset".A summary is here: https://fs.blog/carol-dweck-mindset/Find the book: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/mindset-carol-s-dweck/1100167257?ean=9780345472328What you might take away from today...1. Visualizing Ideals and what you want your future to look like is healthy and helps your "Present Self" feel hope and live in the now with intention. (See Episodes 18 & 29!!)https://www.buzzsprout.com/1934961/10705088-episode-18-grow.mp3?download=truehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1934961/11180258-episode-29-rock-your-walk-up-song-week-six-of-yoga-for-athletes.mp3?download=true2. We feel unsatisfied, frustrated, overwhelmed, hopeless etc when we compare our Present Self to the Ideal (which is simply a made up image/number etc we made up or we allow others to make for us like social media/cultural constraints/comparing ourselves to others) and FOCUS ON THE GAP between the two. ie you will always come up short, feel like you've been wronged, and get stuck in "should be", "could have been" mindsets. 3.  Successful people, who feel joy in the now and grow more confident and unique, are those who are able to constantly compare their Present Self to their Former Self AND FOCUS ON THE GAINS made.  Gains might be from lessons learned through "failures", mishaps or even trauma.Gains could be new thoughts or ideas.Gains might be people you've met who have enriched your life.Gains might be new knowledge about something.Gains might be new skills acquired.Gains might be getting good at feeling negative emotions like fear & disappointment.Gains might be the fact that you were brave enough to try something new regardless of the outcome.Gains might be something you created that brought YOU joy regardless of who else saw it/bought it/liked it.Take time today to ponder on this past year and create your very own "Mind the Gap" list (or poster with post-it notes!)  Measure yourself backwards and get more and more intune with what YOU want and what brings you lasting joy.

Director: Adamma Ebo Screenwriter: Adamma Ebo Starring: Regina Hall, Sterling K. Brown Runtime: 102 min Synopsis: As the proud first lady of a Southern Baptist megachurch, Trinitie Childs carries immense responsibility on her shoulders. Her church, Wander To Greater Paths, once served a congregation in the tens of thousands, but after a scandal involving her husband, Pastor Lee-Curtis Childs, forced the church to close temporarily, Trinitie is struggling to manage the aftermath. Now Trinitie and Lee-Curtis must rebuild their congregation and reconcile their faith by all means necessary to make the biggest comeback that commodified religion has ever seen. *Originally part of MTR's Sundance 2022 Coverage  Snapshot Review: Written and directed by Adamma Ebo, Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul, pulls viewers through the side door of the church for a behind-the-scenes look at a ministry in crisis and a marriage at a crossroads. Inspired by the real-life fall from grace of megachurch pastor Eddie Long amid accusations of sexual misconduct, Honk for Jesus goes deep in its bag for a biting commentary on the parasitic relationship between megachurches and the Black community, deification of religious leaders, denial, rejection of the self, and trying to hold on to success at any costs. Pastor Lee-Curtis Childs (Sterling K. Brown) and First Lady, Trinitie (Regina Hall) are in dire need of some good press. They've lost their standing in the community. Amid public scandal, their congregation fled. Now former parishioners, Keon and Shakura Sumptor (played with by Conphidance and Nicole Beharie) reign supreme and they have no intentions of stepping  aside. In the hopes of revitalizing their image as they plan a grand re-opening, the Lee-Curtis hires a documentarian. But what's intended to be a record of their celebratory return, swiftly takes a turn. Because that scandal upended the delicate balance of this couple's complicated marriage arrangement too. Unlike the majority of feature films taking aim at religious institutions, Ebo's dark satire presents (partially) as a mockumentary. It's a choice that allows the implied (scandal) narrative to work in tandem with an intimate fly-on-the-wall portrait of a partnership under stress. Offering this narrative up as “story within a story,” is a savvy way to lean into the messiness that is church communities, while keeping the story accessible to a wider audience. Read that back one more time, Honk For Jesus. Save Your Souls is a movie with a specific audience in mind, but everyone is welcome to partake. Just know Ebo's storyline relies on the kind of sly references, call and response mentality, and church-folk banter that are the hallmark of many a Southern Baptist household all specifically designed to work on multiple levels. If you let it, in between laughing at moments of sheer outrageousness, Honk For Jesus will greatly inform your understanding of Black culture, community, and its complicated relationship with religious hypocrisy and the gospel of prosperity.    A subtly building tension between Lee-Curtis and Trinitie sets the stage for a nuanced take on partnership, love, marital sacrifice and betrayal. Hall and Brown have a kind of chemistry a relationship under pressure needs to sell such over the top characters like Lee-Curtis and Trinitie. Individually and collectively the pair set the tone and masterfully control the ebb and flow of the storyline that deliberately speaks around complicated issues. Juxtapose with the more composed - but no less engrossing - dynamic of rival pastors played with a mesmerizing poise by Conphidance and Nicole Beharie Honk for Jesus offers a not-so-quiet commentary on complexity of morality. Thankfully, Ebo deftly dovetails the more serious moments with the kind of insightful comedic edge that balances rather than breaks that tension.   As this disgraced couple's relationship unravels, Trinitie unresolved pain comes into sharp focus,

When you have the intention to change your sales approach, the behavior follows suit. In today's episode of The Sales Evangelist, Donald is joined by Scott Savage, Managing Director at Franklin Covey, to learn how sellers can increase their close rate by winning more deals.  Salespeople tend to think we close more than we do. In actuality, the close right is only around 17%. But imagine what it could be if that close rate were higher. Why are win rates so low? Many would say the pandemic, but it's not one sole factor.  42% of the time, decision-makers could not tell the difference between vendors. Sellers almost always think they're different. But it doesn't matter how different you are if the buyer cannot differentiate between sellers. Talk less, question more: Executives and other buyers judge sellers based on their questions, not necessarily their answers. Clients don't want sellers to just talk at them; they want a discussion to know their problems are being addressed. It's not that a seller is disliked, but rather that the meeting didn't progress with the buyer's needs in mind. RDM is Scott's strategy to close more sales: Relevant, distinct, and memorable: For relevant, ask yourself what the client truly cares about. What do they wish to buy or add to their current company? Distinct is explaining how they will be dramatically better because of what you can bring to the table. People make decisions based on differences, not similarities. People want compelling contrast. Juxtapose those distinct differences by making those differences easy to share and difficult to forget. Start with the end in mind.  Establish objectives for each meeting to help guide interactions toward those pre-established checkpoints. Ensure your close rate is open: we get too focused on ourselves, and our intention is based on the sale, not the best decision. To stand out, take the RDM strategy. Next, understand what's essential to each decision-maker to get everyone on board. Many people can veto a deal. But, if you know each stakeholder and help them improve, you'll altogether avoid that issue. Your biggest competitor isn't other companies; it's the status quo. Be interesting and stand out to convince each decision-maker to choose you. Scott's final takeaway? Most sellers think they're better than they are. Establish what makes you better and convince buyers of that factor. If you can set yourself apart, you'll close more deals.

This week, please join author Vasan Ramachandran and Associate Editor Mercedes Carnethon as they discuss the article "Temporal Trends in the Remaining Lifetime Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Among Middle-Aged Adults Across 6 Decades: The Framingham Study." Dr. Carolyn Lam: Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast, summary and backstage pass to the journal and its editors. We're your co-hosts. I'm Dr. Carolyn Lam, Associate Editor from the National Heart Center in Duke National University of Singapore. Dr. Greg Hundley: And I'm Dr. Greg Hundley, Associate Editor, Director of the Pauley Heart Center at VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Greg, I'm so excited about today's feature paper. You see, I trained at the Framingham Heart Study and today's feature paper talks about the temporal trends in the remaining lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease among middle aged adults across six decades in the Framingham Heart Study. Truly a landmark study and a discussion nobody wants to miss. But first, let's talk about the other papers in today's issue, and I understand that you've got one ready. Dr. Greg Hundley: You bet Carolyn. I'll get started first. Thank you. So my first paper comes from Dr. Daniel Mark from Duke University and it refers to the ISCHEMIA trial. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Ooh, could you please first remind us what is the ISCHEMIA trial and are you presenting a substudy, is that correct? Dr. Greg Hundley: Right, Carolyn. So the International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness with Medical and Invasive Approaches, or ISCHEMIA, compared an initial invasive strategy with an initial conservative strategy in 5,179 participants with chronic coronary disease and moderate or severe ischemia. And this sub study of the ischemia research program included a comprehensive quality of life analysis. Dr. Carolyn Lam: So very interesting. What did they find Greg? Dr. Greg Hundley: Right, Carolyn. So this study included 1,819 participants. 907 in the invasive, 912 in the conservative. And collected a battery of disease specific and generic quality of life instruments by structured interviews at baseline. And then at three, 12, 24 and 36 months post randomization, and then finally at study closeout. Now Carolyn, these assessments included an angina related quality of life assessment from the 19 item Seattle Angina Questionnaire, a generic health status assessment, an assessment of depressive symptoms, and for North American patients, cardiac functional status from the Duke Activity Status Index, or DASI. In this study, Carolyn, in terms of results, the median age was 67 years and about 20% were women and about 16% were nonwhite. So Carolyn, getting to the results. The estimated mean difference for the SAQ 19 summary score favored invasive therapy. And remember the SAQ 19 was the Seattle Angina Questionnaire. Dr. Greg Hundley: Next, no differences were observed in patients with rare or absent baseline angina. Next, among patients with more frequent angina baseline, those randomized to invasive had a mean point higher score on the SAQ 19 summary score than the conservative approach, with consistent effects across all of the SAQ subscales including physical limitations, angina frequency and quality of life health perceptions. For the DASI, and remember DASI refers to the Duke Activity Status Index, no difference was estimated overall by treatment. But in patients with baseline marked angina, DASI scores were higher for the interventional arm. Whereas patients with rare or absent baseline angina showed really no treatment related differences. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Oh, okay. So a lot of results. What's the take-home message, Greg? Dr. Greg Hundley: Right, Carolyn. Glad you asked. So in the ISCHEMIA comprehensive quality of life substudy, patients with more frequent baseline angina reported greater improvements in the symptom physical functioning and psychological wellbeing dimensions of quality of life when treated with an invasive strategy. Whereas patients who had rare or absent angina baseline reported no consistent treatment related quality of life differences. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow. Thank you, Greg. Very interesting indeed. Now from angina to now cholesterol. Now, cholesterol guidelines typically prioritize primary prevention statin therapy based on 10 year risk of cardiovascular disease. Now the advent of generic pricing may in fact justify expansion of statin eligibility. Moreover, 10 year risk may not be the optimal approach for statin prioritization. So these issues were looked at in this next paper by authors led by Dr. Kohli Lynch from Northwestern University and colleagues who estimated the cost effectiveness of expanding preventive statin eligibility, and evaluated novel approaches to prioritization from a Scottish health sector perspective. A computer simulation model predicted long term health and cost outcomes in Scottish adults, age 40 years or more. Dr. Greg Hundley: So Carolyn, what did they find? Dr. Carolyn Lam: The advent of generic pricing has rendered preventive statin therapy cost effective for many adults. Absolute risk reduction guided statin therapy, which is based on 10 year cardiovascular disease risk and non HDL cholesterol levels, is cost effective and would improve population health. Whereas age stratified risk thresholds were more expensive and less effective than alternative approaches to statin prioritization. So guidelines committees may need to expand statin eligibility and consider new ways to allocate statins based on absolute risk reduction rather than 10 year risk thresholds. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice Carolyn. Always important, new information regarding statin therapy. Well Carolyn, my next paper comes to us from the world of preclinical science. And Carolyn, as you know, the regenerative capacity of the heart after myocardial infarction is limited. And these authors led by Dr. Tamer Mohamed from University of Louisville previously showed that ectopic introduction of Cdk1, CyclinB1 and Cdk4, CyclinD1 complexes and we'll refer to those now as 4F, promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation in 15 to 20% of infected cardiomyocytes in vitro and in vivo and improved cardiac function after MI in mice. So Carolyn, in this study using temporal single cell RNA sequencing, the investigative team aimed to identify the necessary reprogramming stages during the forced cardiomyocyte proliferation with 4F on a single cell basis. And also using rat and pig models of ischemic heart failure, they aim to start the first preclinical testing to introduce 4F gene therapy as a candidate for the treatment of ischemia induced heart failure. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Oh, wow Greg. So what did they find? Dr. Greg Hundley: Several things, Carolyn. First, temporal bulk and single cell RNA sequencing and further biochemical validations of mature HIPS cardiomyocytes treated with either LAcZ or 4F adenoviruses revealed full cell cycle reprogramming in 15% of the cardiomyocyte population at 48 hours post-infection with 4F. Which was mainly associated with sarcomere disassembly and metabolic reprogramming. Second Carolyn, transient overexpression of 4F specifically in cardiomyocytes was achieved using a polycistronic non-integrating lentivirus encoding the 4F with each driven by a TNNT2 promoter entitled TNNT2-4F polycistronic-NIL. Now this TNNT2-4F polycistronic-NIL or control virus was injected intra myocardial one week after MI in rats, so 10 per group, and pigs, six to seven per group. Dr. Greg Hundley: And four weeks post-injection the TNNT2-4F polycistronic-NIL treated animals showed significant improvement in left ventricular injection fraction and scar size compared with the control virus treated animals. And four months after treatment, the rats that received TNNT2-4F polycistronic-NIL still showed a sustained improvement in cardiac function without obvious development of cardiac arrhythmias or systemic tumorigenesis. And so Carolyn this study advances concepts related to myocellular regeneration by providing mechanistic insights into the process of forced cardiomyocyte proliferation and advances the clinical feasibility of this approach by minimizing the oncogenic potential of the cell factors, thanks to the use of a novel transient and cardiomyocyte specific viral construct. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow. What a rich study. Thanks so much, Greg. Dr. Greg Hundley: Well, Carolyn, how about if we see what else and what other articles are in this issue. And maybe I'll go first. So there's a research letter from Dr. Wu entitled Modeling Effects of Immunosuppressive Drugs on Human Hearts Using IPSC Derived Cardiac Organoids and Single Cell RNA Sequencing. Carolyn, there's an EKG challenge from Dr. Yarmohammadi, entitled “Fast and Furious, A Case of Group Beating in Cardiomyopathy.” And then finally from Dr. Tulloch, a really nice Perspective entitled “The Social Robots are Coming, Preparing For a New Wave of Virtual Care in Cardiovascular Medicine. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Oh, how interesting. Well, also in the mail back is an exchange of letters of among Drs. Lakkireddy, Dhruva, Natale, and Price regarding Amplatzer Amulet Left Atrial Appendage Occluder versus Watchman Device for stroke prophylaxis, a randomized control trial. All right. Thank you so much, Greg. Shall we go on to our feature discussion now? Dr. Greg Hundley: You bey. Welcome listeners to our feature discussion today. And we're so fortunate we have with us today, Dr. Vasan Ramachandran from Boston University and our own Associate Editor, Dr. Mercedes Carnethon from Northwestern University in Chicago. Welcome to you both. And Vasan, let's start with you. Could you describe for us some of the background information pertaining to your study and what was the hypothesis that you wanted to address? Dr. Vasan Ramachandran: Thank you, Greg, first of all for having me. So we know two facts. One is that heart disease and stroke disease death rates and incidents are declining over the last six decades in the United States. Juxtapose against that is also the observation that there is rising incidence of obesity and overweight, and also a rising burden of diabetes. There are a lot of advances in our ability to treat high blood pressure, high cholesterol, as well as high blood sugar. So we wanted to ask the question, given the historic trends in control awareness of risk factors and their control, interrupted by this escalating burden of obesity, overweight, and diabetes, what is the lived experiences of people over time in terms of the risk of developing heart disease or stroke using a metric we call as the remaining lifetime risk of developing heart disease or stroke. Dr. Greg Hundley: The hypothesis you wanted to address? Dr. Vasan Ramachandran: The hypothesis we wanted to address was that perhaps the decline in the incidence of heart disease and stroke may have decreased over time given the escalating burden of overweight, obesity and diabetes. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. And can you describe for us your study population and your study design? Dr. Vasan Ramachandran: Thank you, Greg. So the Framingham Heart Study is one of the oldest running epidemiological studies in the world. We have multiple cohorts. The study began in 1948 with the original cohort, the offspring cohort enrolled in 1971, third generation cohort in 2002, and two minoritized cohorts in the 1990s and 2002. So we have an observation period of different cohorts over a six decade period. So we asked the question, if you were a participant in the Framingham study between 1960 and 1979 and then 1980 to 1999, and then 2000 to 2018, what was your lifetime risk of experiencing a heart disease or stroke in the three different time periods? Is it going down, is it steady or is it going up? Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. And so, Vasan, describe your study results. Dr. Vasan Ramachandran: Look, what we found was if you look at the first, the 20 year period from 1960 to 1979, and compare that with the latest, which is 2000 to 2018, in the initial time period, the lifetime risk of developing heart disease or stroke in a man was pretty high. It was about one in two. And that for a woman was about one in three. So when you come to the latest epoch, what we find that the risk of one in two men had dropped to about one in three men in the latest decade. For women, the risk declined from what was one in three in the earlier epoch to one in four. So approximately there was about a 36% reduction in the lifetime probability of developing heart disease or stroke across the six decade period of observation. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. And so help us a little bit, put the context of your results into what that might mean for us today as we are managing patients with atherosclerotic disease. Dr. Vasan Ramachandran: Yes, Greg. What it means is that the permeation of the advances in science in terms of the screening of risk factors, awareness of risk factors, medications to lower these risk factors effectively, the clinical trials that have given us these new medications, they may have translated into a reduction in risk over time. That the lived experience of people in the later decades is better in terms of having a lower risk of heart disease or stroke as the consequence of multiple advances that have happened in heart disease and stroke. Dr. Greg Hundley: Well, thank you so much Vasan. Well listeners, now we're going to turn to our Associate Editor, Mercy Carnethon. And Mercy, you have many papers come across your desk. What attracted you to this particular paper and how do you put these results really in the context of other science pertaining to risk associated with populations that may have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease? Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Thanks so much for that question, Greg. And again, Vasan, I really thank you and your team for bringing forth such outstanding research. You know, as cardiovascular disease epidemiologists, we were all raised and taught that what we know about risk factors for cardiovascular disease are based on the Framingham cohort. And so I was really excited to see this very comprehensive piece of work that characterized what the Framingham study has identified and also leverages the unique characteristics of a study that started in 1948. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: So, you know, we're almost 75 years in and actually has the ability that cross sectional studies don't have to look over longer periods of time at risk. And you know, when we think about papers that excite us, that we really want to feature in circulation, they are papers that teach us something new. And I will say there were aspects of this work that confirmed what I had heard but had not seen using empirical data. Namely that the remaining lifetime risks for developing cardiovascular disease were going down over time, and they were going down secondary to better management and recognition of the risk factors that the Framingham cohort study had really been instrumental in identifying in the first place. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: There were surprising elements of the paper. The surprising elements being that I think as you brought up earlier, we were concerned that risk factors that were on the rise, such as obesity, were threatening these increases in life expectancy. And it was really nice to see that the findings held, even in the face of rising risk factors. And just to summarize, what I really like about this piece when we situate it within circulation, where we are addressing clinical treatment factors, where we're also featuring clinical trials and even other epidemiologic studies, is that your work identifies for us the overall context in which the clinicians who read the journal are thinking about managing patients and where we're going. It highlights our successes, but it also really brings up what we need to do next. And I look forward to hearing from you about where you think this may be headed. Dr. Greg Hundley: Well, Mercy, you're teeing us up for that next question. Vasan, what do you think is the next study or studies that need to be performed in this space? Dr. Vasan Ramachandran: Thank you, Greg and Mercy, for your kind comments. Like I shared, this is a success story for a predominantly white population in the Northeast. We are very much aware about the heterogeneity and the geographic variation in heart disease burden in our country. So one of the success stories interpretation might be this represents the upper bound. What can happen to a population that is compliant with screening of risk factors, awareness of risk factors, treatment and healthcare access. I think the next set of studies should broaden the study population to bring in additional populations that are more diverse, that are also followed up over a period of time to assess and put the current observations in the appropriate context. Do we see similar findings longitudinally in other cohorts with non-white participants? Is it different, is their lived experience different? If so, why? And that could inform us how we can reach the success story and replicate it across the entirety of our country. Dr. Greg Hundley: And Mercy, do you have anything to add? Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: I do. You know, I really like that focus on broadening to whom these results are applicable. We've undergone a lot of shifts within our country and also around the world. You know, circulation, we have a worldwide readership. I would love to see this sort of work replicated across different countries to the extent that we have the data to do so, recognizing that limitation. But I'd love to see work focus on comparing how these things change in low income countries, middle income and high income countries, so that we can really think about resource allocation and find strategies to try to replicate the successes that we are seeing based on the data from the Framingham heart and offspring studies. Dr. Greg Hundley: Excellent. Well listeners, we really appreciate the opportunity to get together today with Dr. Vasan Ramachandran from Boston University and our own Associate Editor, Dr. Mercedes Carnethon from Northwestern University in Chicago. And really appreciate them for bringing us these epidemiologic data from the Framingham cohort, indicating that over the past decades, mean life expectancy increased and the remaining lifetime risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease decreased across individuals in the cohort, even after accounting for increasing incidences of other cardiovascular risk factors like obesity and smoking. Well on behalf of Carolyn and myself, we want to wish you a great week and we will catch you next week on the run. Dr. Greg Hundley This program is copyright of the American Heart Association, 2022.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 21, 2022 is: juxtapose • JUK-stuh-pohz • verb Juxtapose means "to place (different things) side by side (as to compare them or contrast them or to create an interesting effect)." // The committee juxtaposed the proposals for the new student center, trying to determine which would better meet the needs of the university. See the entry > Examples: "There's the original wooden floorboards juxtaposing ... a glossy, stop-and-stare, curved timber wall that extends from behind the counter to the ceiling above." — Anooska Tucker-Evans, The Courier Mail (Australia), 19 Mar. 2022 Did you know? A back-formation is a word that has come about through the removal of a prefix or a suffix from a longer word. Etymologists believe juxtapose is a back-formation that was created when people trimmed down the noun juxtaposition. Historical evidence supports the idea: juxtaposition shows up in the 17th century and juxtapose in the 19th.  Juxtaposition is a combination of Latin juxta, meaning "near," and English "position."

(3/28/22) Markets' sharp rally heading into the end of the quarter was expected, lifting indexes above the 200- and 50-DMA amidst negative sentiment and light positioning in portfolios. The clearing of overhead resistance sets markets up for a little more rallying up to the levels seen in December last year. Markets are very over bought on multiple levels, and pretty close to triggering a sell-signal. That does not necessarily mean markets are going to immediately sell-off back down to their lows. But as we move into this week, the last in March, mutual funds, hedge funds, and pension fund managers all need to rebalance their portfolios, suggesting markets could hold their own for the next few days. But when the signals trigger, expect downward pressure on asset prices. Juxtapose to the stock market is the bond market, which is currently over-sold on multiple levers, and close to triggering a buy-signal. A risk-off move in equities would bode well for bonds, which are now over-sold by more than two standard deviations. Money flowing from risk-on to risk-off would potentially flow into bonds. So, any correction in equity prices should help push up bonds back towards their moving averages. -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/news... -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3b837raDt0&list=PLVT8LcWPeAujOhIFDH3jRhuLDpscQaq16&index=1 -------- Visit our Site: www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to RIA Pro: https://riapro.net/home -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestme... https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinves... #BullMarket #Bonds #Recession #Inflation #Correction #Markets #Money #Investing

This week's episode is near and dear to Michelle's heart. She had the pleasure of interviewing her friend and former co-worker Damon Von Schweikert of Von Schweikert Audio. As former co-workers, which they touch on in the episode, Michelle saw firsthand Damon's incredible skill set in successfully treating employees while at the same time running a brand at the highest level. Currently, Damon is the Chief Executive Officer for Von Schweikert Audio, a multigenerational, High-End Audio loudspeaker design and U.S. manufacturing firm with over four decades in business and hundreds of industry awards from around the world.  Prior to assuming the position of CEO for VSA in 2015, Damon enjoyed a 15-year career in the Softline retail industry working at the corporate level with a specialization in the Stores and Operations divisions for Levi's/Dockers Outlets, Anchor Blue, Juxtapose and Miller's Outpost to name a few. His entrepreneurial spirit and extensive experience in manufacturing, distribution, marketing and retail sales give him a unique business management perspective. We are so grateful Damon took time out of his busy schedule to chat with us. We know you'll enjoy this episode as much as we did!The Audio Analyst

The gaslighter-in-chief appeared on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last week. During the interview, he was asked if he paid attention to his approval ratings, which he answered in the negative, stating that people were given inaccurate information about their situation. It's not just inflation causing the low approval ratings, it's Biden's inability to fulfill his promise to restore the nation to some type of normalcy. It could be his memory, or lack thereof, which caused him to forget his campaign promises:In February, we were told that things “may be back to normal” by Christmas. Juxtapose that with Dr. Fauci encouraging folks to require proof of vaccination from family members at holiday gatherings. In March, we were told that if we followed the vaccine mandates that we could possibly, maybe, potentially get together on the Fourth of July to celebrate our freedom - how wonderfully ironic.In April and beyond, we have been told to get the shot, and shots, and then boosters, and more shots. Doing this would certainly restore pre-shamdemic activities. Over 8.3 billion shots later and we're still in the thick of it. Does that sound normal to you? The inaccurate info the American public is receiving, is the disinfo coming from Biden administration claiming the power to return us to our regular lives. Mr. President: when you present yourself as the savior of the world, you can't be upset when you are held accountable for not delivering. Until you, liberal governors, mayors, counsel members, state representatives, and pundits discontinue their economy destroying job killing Covid mandates, we will never get back to normal. And your approval rating will continue to be abysmal.Placing our trust in fallible men for restoration of normalcy will leave us distraught with no real answers. Placing our hope in Christ Who never changes and holds our future in His hands will always leave us filled with hope. The choice is yours, so choose wisely.

Each of the 13 tracks here offers something a little bit unconventional. The first track, "Brightest and Best / Gaudete / Noel Nouvelet” starts out with voice as instrument, blended harmonies softly wafting around before things pick up speed midway through alongside a percussive beat. RUNA seems to enjoy challenging the listener by defying the more typical patterns one's ear has learned to expect in favor of going where the muse leads them. For example, you've never heard “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” done like this before! Those who enjoy a different take on things will want to pick this album up to go alongside their more tried-and-true favorites. It will provide just the right amount of contrast—as well as something to keep things interesting.   Track 3, "Christ Child Lullaby / Dún do Shúil” offers a hymn/lullaby that's blended in three languages; English, Irish Gaelic, and the original Scots Gaelic. This provides an additional soothing feel alongside the comforting rhythm of the lullaby itself. It's a nice take, a simple arrangement, and an interesting inclusion. Very easy on the ears. Juxtapose that track with the next, "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”, which features a funky vibe and a perky, upbeat sound and you have the perfect way to sum up this grouping of songs…non-traditional, yet intriguing!   It's very tough to be experimental—without being too experimental. After all, part of the charm of holiday music is the fact that it's familiar. That said, RUNA doesn't abandon the thread entirely, they merely embellish on it in their own way—which seems to be a great way to compromise. In all, the band isn't intent on exploring just for the sake of being different. You get the sense that they are doing it to create depth, and to be true to the perspective that has developed within them as musicians.   Their “Instrumental Medley” both pays homage to Christmas music and showcases the skill of the musicians, and while “Silent Night” maybe isn't as predictable as the standard radio holiday version, it's every bit as lovely—as well as a nod to the Austrian “Stille Nacht”. The band's liner notes sum this choice up well, saying, There is something magical about returning to the roots of such an iconic carol and to rediscover the beauty and depth in its simplicity.” And, indeed, there is.   This album is perfect for those looking to expand their collection of holiday music, without having things become too repetitive. You'll find fresh arrangements throughout, and enough holiday spirit to go around the table—twice.   Find out more about Runa at runamusic.com.   If you hear music you love, then support the artists.

According to Merriam Webster dictionary, the definition of juxtapose means to place (different things) side by side (as to compare them or contrast them or to create an interesting effect) Interesting is a mild word to describe the work of Jacob Jonas The Company. I would use engaging and fascinating, for examples. Juxtapose is the title of their recent work that I got to experience thanks to The Wallis and ROW DTLA.  This is the second time I've seen this company perform, the first time was at The Wallis back in 2019. I would've happily seen them at The Wallis again but this was an outdoor performance on the rooftop of ROW DTLA and I am so thankful I got to experience a new venue. This performance inspired the following ten tips on our relationship with ourselves and with others as I was watching the intriguing interactions between the dancers: Ask yourself if you are asleep or awake? Most people are asleep with their eyes open going through the motions, sometimes alone and sometimes together. Do you need a wake up call in some area of your life? Stop worrying excessively about what people might think of you. Most are so entrenched in their own affairs that they aren't even thinking of you. Focus on what you can appreciate. I appreciate the athletic artistry of this company, knowing I will be engaged. I would've cut the beginning part shorter, and not put so much repetition in some of the sections. My personal trigger was my experience with contact improvisation. It was very prominent between the performers and it took me back to my first class years ago and trying to be intuitive and then someone telling me I wasn't really doing it properly.  I appreciate this movement form and the performers executed well--it was just my own personal bias toward my experience that caught me off guard. Ask yourself how best to respond to someone else. The example of the stage flooring when the dancers landing throughout the choreography was loud and abrupt. How do you want the interactions in your relationships to land? Pay attention to relationship dynamics. Sometimes you are supporting, provoking,  or inspiring. Just as each duo was interacting with one another, there was a constant give and take, push and pull. Are you getting caught up in what the majority is doing? Are you going to extremes when it isn't necessary? It is easy to get caught up in what the majority is doing, and that can be both “bad” and beautiful. There is power in one and there is power in many. You decide how you want to disperse your energy and efforts in relationships.  Sometimes you have to release to get more strength and sometimes you have to stand your ground. Know that even when you feel alone, you aren't. There are others around you that can help or inspire you. You have to allow space for it. When you need space for yourself, acknowledge that. And let others know that you do. Remember that the most important is first the relationship and trust within yourself and that affects how you show up in other relationships. Juxtapose, this engaging performance by Jacob Jonas The Company that reminded me of the dynamics of relationships, how we can be ourselves and how we can stand together to support one another.

Glass isn't typically the first material that folks associate with Indigenous artwork. And yet, the medium lends itself well to unique cultural interpretations, combining fundamental elements of earth, air, and fire with generational artistry. Native artists have been drawn to glassblowing since the 1970s, utilizing it to reinterpret traditional forms and tell thoroughly modern stories. Host Charlotte Jusinski explores the hypnotic beauty on display at Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture (MIAC), the first exhibition of its kind on view until June 2022. Joining Charlotte are her co-host for this episode Dr. Matthew Martinez, interim director of the museum, and Robert “Spooner” Marcus, one of the glassblowers featured in the exhibit. The two men share a bond that stretches back to their childhood on the reservation in Ohkay Owingeh, NM, an experience that informs their perspectives on art and colors this conversation.   This is perhaps one of the most aesthetically beautiful exhibitions ever to grace Santa Fe's cultural landscape. That's saying something given the city's renowned collection of museums. Visitors to Clearly Indigenous descend from MIAC's bright galleries into a dimly lit space, a journey that feels almost subterranean, forcing the senses to adjust to a new environment. This darkness emphasizes the molten glow emanating from within some of these intensely fragile pieces and recalls their beginnings in a blazing furnace. The effect casts a regal air over the entire exhibit. Juxtapose the majestic characteristics of glass with the personable, often irreverent nature of its artists. Spooner is warm and easygoing despite working with this daunting, often dangerous material. “Glass is a very fickle thing,” he says. “If you don't respond to what it's doing, then it's not going to cooperate.” That Zen-like approach to his craft was born when he answered a newspaper ad for a production line glassblower––no experience necessary. Spooner's earliest pieces were juice cups, fashioned assembly line style over and over again. But the utilitarian end product didn't diminish the allure of working with glass. “I walked into the shop, there's this big furnace that's blazing, and I basically did not turn back. I really knew from that moment that it was going to be in my life for a relatively long time.”  Twenty years later, Spooner's technique-driven work is on display at MIAC alongside 32 fellow Indigenous glass artists in an exhibition that includes pieces by Dale Chihuly, the artist credited with bringing the medium to Indian Country. Clearly Indigenous highlights an immense range of forms and the ways in which glass can reference the past while remaining wholly modern. Spooner agrees. He hopes the show inspires others to become better acquainted with the methods and magic of glass art. “It's that spark, that interest in creating that hopefully an exhibit like this [creates]. Somebody will see it and say, ‘Hey, you know, I want to try doing this!' or maybe buy a piece of glass or go take a lesson.” Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass is at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture through June 16, 2022.
