While everyone's focused on NIO's 70-day countdown to profitability, institutional money started moving. RWC Asset Management just disclosed they bought $14.5 million worth of NIO shares in Q3 2025, scaling their position from $100,000 to over $20 million - a 200X increase.What do they see that made them go all-in right now?In today's episode, I break down three major NIO developments from October 27, 2025:RWC's $14.5M Bet:Purchased 2.7 million shares during Q3 2025Position grew from ~$100K to $20.83 millionNow represents 1.01% of their $2 billion portfolioRWC's portfolio is mostly mature value plays (Macy's, HP, Cisco) - NIO stands outThey bought DURING the turnaround, not before it (Q3 = July-Sept when momentum became obvious)90 Million Battery Swaps Milestone:NIO hit 90 million swaps just 100 days after 80 millionNow performing 100,000+ battery swaps per dayFirst 1 million swaps took 29 months, latest 10 million took 100 days (acceleration)4.75 billion kWh dispensed = enough to power 2.37 million households for a year100 millionth swap expected January 2026This infrastructure creates a moat that gets stronger with scaleUS Demand Survey Results:Over 50% of US buyers now open to Chinese EV brands like NIO and BYDDespite significant data privacy concerns and government scrutinyShows product-market fit exists, but regulatory/political barriers remainNot an actionable catalyst for 2025-2026, but signals latent demandThe Investment Thesis:RWC isn't waiting for Q4 profitability to be achieved - they're positioning BEFORE the announcement. If you wait until NIO reports a profitable quarter, the stock will already be repriced. They're buying the setup, not the result.But let's be clear: RWC put 1% of their portfolio into this. That's not "bet the farm" conviction. That's "attractive risk-reward given the setup" conviction. As Motley Fool notes, "NIO remains a risky stock to own. Investors should treat it as a speculative bet."What We're Actually Betting On:✅ Three-brand strategy execution (working so far)⏳ Production scaling to 15K ES8/month by December (in progress)⏳ Q4 profitability target (70 days to find out)❓ Sustained profitability beyond Q4 (the real test)What I'm Watching:November delivery numbers (October results due early Nov)ES8 production updates (need 15K/month by December)More institutional 13F filings showing Q3 positionsBattery swap daily volume trendsThis is news-driven analysis for investors who want to understand what's happening beyond the headlines. I'm long NIO, but I'm not here to pump or spread fear - just breaking down what the smart money is doing and what it means.NIO stock is up 58.3% year-to-date as of October 24, 2025, trading at $6.90 with a $17 billion market cap. The question is: Are institutional buyers like RWC early, or are they right?#NIOStock #InstitutionalInvesting #ElectricVehiclesNIO stock, NIO stock analysis, RWC Asset Management, institutional investors buying NIO, NIO battery swap, Chinese EV stocks, NIO profitability, electric vehicle stocks, NIO deliveries 2025, smart money stocks, NIO bull case, hedge fund buys NIO, battery swap technology, NIO infrastructure, Chinese stocks, EV investing, NIO Q4 earnings, 13F filings, asset management buys, NIO analysis, Li Bin, EV market 2025, NIO news today, institutional buying, stock analysis, NIO investment thesis, Chinese ADR stocksTAGS (500 Characters):

This is the video every NIO investor needs to watch. While everyone's celebrating the comeback story, there's a clock ticking that nobody's talking about loudly enough.NIO has 70 days left to hit Q4 2025 profitability. CEO Li Bin has made this his personal performance evaluation and stated the target "MUST be achieved." But here's what's really at stake: NIO has lost over ¥120 billion ($16 billion) since founding, and at current burn rates, could run out of cash in 16 months without new financing.This isn't hype. This isn't FUD. This is the reality of where NIO stands right now.In this episode, I break down exactly what NIO needs to accomplish in the next 70 days:Why NIO must sell 150,000 vehicles in Q4 (1,600 per day) to hit profitabilityThe brutal margin problem: Q2 gross margins at 10% vs 16-17% targetLi Bin's "Three Musts": Sell more cars, ensure delivery capacity, deliver quality softwareHow ES8 production must scale to 15,000 units/month by DecemberThe GIC lawsuit timing: Singapore's sovereign wealth fund accusing NIO of inflated revenueWhy NIO raised $1.16 billion in September (their 3rd financing round in 2025)The 16-month cash runway if profitability isn't achievedInternal reforms: CBU system, cost cuts to four decimal places, personal KPIsThe Hard Numbers:¥120 billion in accumulated losses (≈$16 billion)¥10.4 billion lost in first half of 2025 alone¥27.2 billion cash reserves as of Q2 2025Q4 delivery target: 150,000 vehicles (vs 87,000 in Q3)Current gross margin: 10% (needs to reach 16-17%)September deliveries: 34,749 (vs 50,000/month target)I'm a NIO bull, but I'm not blind to the stakes. This video isn't about pumping hopium or spreading fear. It's about understanding what's ACTUALLY happening and what the next 70 days will determine for NIO's survival.Li Bin moved the profitability target from 2026 to Q4 2025 to force internal urgency and signal market confidence. He's personally overseeing supply chain management, cutting costs to four decimal places, and restructuring the entire organization. The question is: Will it be enough?Even if NIO hits Q4 profitability, the bigger test is sustainability. One profitable quarter doesn't prove you're viable long-term. Q1 2026 and beyond will show whether this is a real turnaround or just a temporary sprint under pressure.Xpeng proved turnarounds are possible (313,000 deliveries in first 3 quarters, up 217% YoY). But they also prove that being an early player doesn't guarantee survival.For the next 70 days, we're watching the same countdown: Can NIO execute on all fronts simultaneously? Sales, margins, production, quality, and investor confidence must ALL align. Miss any one, and the 16-month cash runway becomes 12, then 6, then game over.This is NIO's make-or-break moment. The clock is ticking.#NIOStock #ElectricVehicles #NIOProfitabilityNIO stock, NIO profitability, NIO stock analysis, Chinese EV stocks, NIO bankruptcy, electric vehicle stocks, NIO cash runway, Li Bin NIO, NIO Q4 earnings, NIO losses, NIO lawsuit, GIC lawsuit NIO, NIO financial crisis, EV stock crash, Chinese stocks, NIO deliveries, NIO ES8, Ledao L90, battery swap, NIO survival, EV market crash, stock market analysis, NIO bull case, NIO bear case, new energy vehicles, China EV, automotive industry crisis, EV investing, NIO 2025, stock analysisTAGS (500 Characters):

NIO just pulled off one of the most remarkable turnarounds in EV history. On February 9, 2025, they sold just 1,470 vehicles in a single week with the stock at historic lows. Fast forward 252 days, and they're hitting 10,000+ weekly sales across three brands. But is this comeback sustainable?In this episode of Courtside Financial, I break down exactly how NIO went from survival mode to profitability targets, including:The February crisis: 6 billion yuan Q1 losses and historic stock lowsHow the Ledao L90 delivered 21,626 units in just 2 months (record-breaking)The new ES8's insane demand: 150,000 test drives in 10 daysWhy pure EV sales grew 46.1% while extended-range vehicles slowed to 22.8%NIO's 3,533 battery swap stations and the infrastructure advantageInternal reforms: The CBU mechanism and performance accountabilityProduction challenges: Scaling to 15,000 ES8 units/month by DecemberQ4 2025 profitability targets and what needs to happenI'm a NIO bull, but I'm keeping it objective. This video covers the wins, the risks, and what the next 6 months will reveal about whether NIO can maintain profitable growth at scale.The company is entering a new phase: moving from survival to sustainable profitability. But profitability is just the beginning—not the finish line. Can NIO scale production, maintain service quality, and prove consistent profits? That's the real test ahead.Key Data Points Covered:Weekly sales trajectory: 1,470 → 10,000+ in 252 daysSeptember 2025: 30,000+ monthly deliveriesPure EV market growth vs. hybrid declineNIO's 60 billion yuan R&D investment payoffSupply chain advantages from battery partnershipsWhether you're invested in NIO stock, interested in the EV market, or just want to understand one of the wildest comebacks in automotive history, this breakdown gives you the full picture.#NIOStock #ElectricVehicles #EVNews #ChineseEVs #NIOAnalysisNIO stock, NIO stock analysis, NIO earnings, Chinese EV stocks, electric vehicle stocks, NIO ES8, Ledao L90, NIO Firefly, EV market analysis, pure electric vehicles, battery swap technology, NIO profitability, Chinese stock market, EV investing, NIO comeback, automotive industry, NIO deliveries, CATL battery, EV charging infrastructure, Li Bin, NIO vs Tesla, EV stock analysis, new energy vehicles, China EV market, NIO 2025, electric SUV, NIO brand strategy, EV investment, stock market analysis

The US auto market is facing an unprecedented supply shock as major automakers including Audi, Mercedes, and Jaguar Land Rover suddenly halt shipments following Trump's 25% tariff bombshell. Container shipments to the US have plummeted 67% in just one week! Meanwhile, NIO is executing a massive leadership overhaul as CEO Li Bin races to achieve profitability by Q4. With Ledao sales falling short of targets and NIO delivering just 27,313 vehicles in Q1 (compared to Xpeng's 94,408), can their aggressive price cuts of up to 50% save them? This episode breaks down the global supply chain crisis and what it means for consumers and investors alike.Join our financial community for daily market updates and exclusive content: https://discord.gg/GSbp4wRCopyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.

Biological warfare has long been a chilling possibility, but with advancements in genetic engineering, the threat feels more real than ever. The idea that a single virus—crafted in a lab—could reshape global power dynamics is no longer confined to fiction. In a world where nations push the limits of science for both defense and dominance, the line between protection and destruction becomes dangerously thin. If such a scenario were to unfold, would governments contain the chaos, or would humanity be at the mercy of those who hold the cure? Dr. Barry Libin is a scientist, former periodontist, biotech entrepreneur, and author known for blending science with storytelling. He has founded multiple research companies while writing novels, including The Mystery of the Milton Manuscript and his latest geopolitical thriller, The Red Mutation: The Plot to Destroy America. He has also written the play The Triangle and is developing a theatrical work about the St. Louis ship's journey. Today, he talks about his book, The Red Mutation, a gripping story of a Chinese bio-terror plot, sharing insights on his writing process and the art of merging fact with compelling fiction.

Libin Lijo Mathew and his journey into modeling has been all about transforming challenges into something extraordinary. He started out as a fitness influencer, turning to bodybuilding to hide the insecurities he had about his facial asymmetry. Growing up, he had stunning features, but something happened—a fall he took or maybe just natural causes—that changed everything, leaving him struggling with self-image.For years, he thought he had to cover up his differences, but everything changed when he was accepted into a modeling agency that saw his asymmetry as something special, not something to hide. That moment was life-changing. It opened a path of self-discovery where he finally began to embrace what he once thought were imperfections. He turned them into his signature look, making his facial asymmetry a trend and redefining beauty standards on a global scale.He is making his professional debut on the runway, have been featured by brands like Lee Cooper, and work with some incredible photographers.All of this began at the very young age of 16, when he decided to take control of his story. His dream is to inspire people never to give up on their own dreams. That's why he started his own non-profit model management, to give everyone a shot at achieving their aspirations in modeling. His mission is to lift others up, make a difference, and show that no dream is too far out of reach. This journey isn't just about me; it's about building a community where everyone can feel heroic in their own way.

"If politics is robbing you of peace, you might have misplaced your trust." Mic drop please for the quote above from today's show.  Today the Pastor of my church Bent Tree Bible, Libin Abraham, joins us to dive into the tricky (but important) topic of Christians engaging in politics. We talk about how it's not just about showing up—it's about being prayerful, peaceful, prophetic, powerful, and purposeful. But the big reminder here? Our top loyalty is to Jesus, not any political party. We're here to make disciples, not stir up more division. Aside from talking about Christians engaging in politics, Libin also encourages us to trust in God's faithfulness, and that stepping out in faith is key as we do that—I love how Libin says that God moves at the pace of our next “yes.” So if you're feeling pulled to act, trust that God's right there with you. And don't let politics, fear, or anything else get in the way of your gospel influence.  I can't wait for you to hear today's show and I'd love for you to share it with friends.   All things Cynthia Yanof Bent Tree Bible Fellowship   Libin Abraham's sermons on Christians engaging in politics:  Jesus and Politics: The Way of the Cross Jesus and Politics: The Way of the Church Jesus and Politics: Rules for Engagement

I hope you're enjoying our “Trusting God” series as much as I am. So far we've talked about trusting God with our failures and our future self, and this week we're talking about trusting God with our resources. Don't worry, this isn't a discussion of giving away all your money. (Although we definitely are called to live generously with all aspects of our lives, including our finances.)    Pastor Libin Abraham is my Pastor at Bent Tree Bible Church here in Dallas. My family attends this church, and I'm so excited that he's sharing ways to identify our resources and use them to impact our culture. He challenges us to leave the “shallows” of our faith and take  a deeper dive into God's plans and purposes for our lives. (See Luke 5 for context)   I have to be honest with you, today's conversation spoke directly to my heart and reminded me why I'm doing some hard things that don't make sense outside of God. Libin calls these life decisions our “irrational acts of obedience,” and gives two questions to consider when it comes to trusting God with our resources.    I can't wait for you to hear this conversation!    All things Cynthia Yanof Bent Tree Bible podcast with Pastor Libin Abraham

The pod begins with the announcement that China EVs & More (CEM) had gotten it's 25K download - Congratulations to us!Tu moves the discussion over to the rumors about Audi kicking the tires on an SAIC EV platform in order to try and catch up with Tesla and the other China EV Inc. and a broader discussion about how Audi got here. Tu points back to when he said every automaker is going through a 'Make vs. Buy' decision on every strategic (large) software / hardware move they make due to the lack of a tech culture at their companies but in a broader sense, in Europe in general. The discussion also focuses on the lack of speed at each of the European Legacy automakers and how that contributes to their inability to catch up.Tu pushes the conversation over to Li Bin being quoted in an FT article that the US should open their market to companies like NIO rather than put up protectionist measures that make US entry more difficult. Lei then takes a moment to discuss what he's been up to while he's been in Beijing including a visit to Baidu Apollo, trying out the WeRide autonomous vehicle. and trying out the ADAS system on the Avatr 11. The podcast closes out with charging in China and how that experience differs from the US.

英语新闻｜我国在疫苗接种方面迈出了一大步From offering the world's first inhaled COVID-19 vaccines and developing Omicron-targeted vaccines to rolling out second booster shots and targeted immunization plans for seniors, China's vaccination efforts have gained steam this year, according to authorities.据有关部门称，从提供世界上第一个吸入式新冠疫苗和开发奥密克戎靶向疫苗，到推出第二次加强针和针对老年人的针对性免疫计划，中国的疫苗接种工作在今年取得了一系列进展。The country started 2022 with a strong arsenal to fight COVID-19, with seven domestically developed vaccines available. Two of the vaccines were deployed globally after gaining approval for use from the World Health Organization.我国从2022年开始拥有强大的武器库来对抗新冠，并提供了七种国内开发的疫苗。其中两种疫苗在获得世界卫生组织批准后在全球部署。Chinese researchers also raced to provide a wider variety of vaccines, including doses administered through the mouth or nose, to keep up with new mutations of the novel coronavirus.中国研究人员还竞相提供更多种类的疫苗，包括通过口或鼻给药的剂量，以跟上新型冠状病毒的新突变。"Recently, China granted conditional approval to five COVID-19 vaccines and emergency use authorization to eight vaccines," Huang Guo, deputy director of the National Medical Products Administration, said at a news briefing on Dec 20.国家药品监督管理局副局长黄果在12月20日的新闻发布会上说：“最近，中国有条件批准了五种新冠疫苗和八种疫苗的紧急使用授权。”Li Bin, vice-minister of the National Health Commission, said that China has maintained a steady pace in updating its COVID-19 policy.国家卫生委员会副主任李斌表示，中国在更新其新冠政策方面一直保持稳定的步伐。"We have advanced vaccination and booster shot campaigns, developed and approved a number of vaccines and provided different combinations," he said.“我们推进了疫苗接种和加强注射活动，开发并批准了多种疫苗，并提供了不同的组合，”他说。On Sept 4, China became the first country to grant emergency-use approval to an inhalable COVID-19 vaccine made by CanSino Biologics based in Tianjin. The vaccine can only be used as a booster.9月4日，中国成为第一个批准紧急使用天津CanSino Biologics生产的可吸入新冠疫苗的国家，该疫苗只能用作加强剂。The vaccine delivers a dose through a puff of air from a nebulizer and is inhaled through the mouth.该疫苗通过喷雾器的一股空气输送剂量，并通过口腔吸入。Sunney Xie Xiaoliang, a biophysical chemist at Peking University and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that by stimulating immune responses in the nasal cavity where respiratory pathogens first enter, inhaled or nasal spray vaccines are showing promise in fending off infections.北京大学生物物理化学家、中国科学院院士谢晓亮表示，通过刺激呼吸道病原体最先进入的鼻腔中的免疫反应，吸入或鼻喷疫苗有希望抵御感染。"Using it as a booster shot can also trigger higher levels of humoral immunity as well as cellular immunity, which are potentially capable of clearing the virus within a shorter period," he added.他补充说：“将其用作加强针还可以触发更高水平的体液免疫和细胞免疫，这有可能在更短的时间内清除病毒。”On Dec 2, a nasal spray vaccine jointly developed by Xiamen University in Fujian province, Hong Kong University and the Beijing Wantai Biological Pharmacy Enterprise was also cleared for emergency use.12月2日，由福建省厦门大学、香港大学和北京万泰生物制药企业联合研制的鼻喷疫苗也获批应急使用。The nasal spray's main use is as a second booster for the elderly, according to the State Council's Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism.根据国务院联防联控机制，鼻腔喷雾剂的主要用途是作为老年人的第二次加强针。In Beijing's Xicheng district, Tang Ying, a community health center worker, said entire afternoons are usually assigned to delivering nasal spray vaccines. The center also provides door-to-door services for seniors.在北京西城区，社区卫生服务中心工作人员唐颖说，他们整个下午通常都用来运送鼻腔喷雾疫苗，该中心还为老年人提供上门服务。More vaccines using different technologies or providing stronger protection against COVID-19 variants are in the pipeline.更多使用不同技术或针对新冠病毒变体提供更强保护的疫苗正在研发中。As the highly transmissible but less virulent Omicron variant spreads across the country, clinical trials on three domestically developed inactivated vaccines tailored to counter it have begun on the Chinese mainland and in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the United Arab Emirates.随着高传播性但毒性较低的奥密克戎变种病毒在全国蔓延，针对该病毒量身定制的三种国产灭活疫苗的临床试验已在中国大陆、香港特别行政区和阿拉伯联合酋长国展开。Another approach being tested by scientists is vaccines designed to protect against multiple strains. Authorities said that three out of the nine multivalent vaccine candidates have entered the third stage of clinical trials.科学家正在测试的另一种方法是设计用于预防多种毒株的疫苗。当局表示，九个多价候选疫苗中的三个已进入临床试验的第三阶段。China's quest to invent vaccines based on the messenger RNA technology is also making progress.中国基于mRNA技术研制疫苗的努力也在取得进展。Walvax Biotechnology, a drugmaker based in Yunnan province, said on Sept 30 that its mRNA vaccine, developed with Suzhou Abogen Biosciences, had been approved for emergency use in Indonesia.总部位于云南省的制药商Walvax Biotechnology于9月30日表示，其与Suzhou Abogen Biosciences开发的mRNA疫苗已获准在印度尼西亚紧急使用。The company said recently that it has built a production plant capable of manufacturing mRNA vaccines in Yuxi, Yunnan.该公司最近表示，已在云南玉溪建设了一个能够生产mRNA疫苗的生产厂。Health authorities have also fine-tuned the country's immunization protocols this year, based on the latest studies on vaccine efficacy and safety.卫生当局今年还根据对疫苗功效和安全性的最新研究微调了我国的免疫方案。Zheng Zhongwei, head of the country's vaccine development task force, said during a recent interview that the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention has monitored adverse reactions to the 3.4 billion doses administered on the mainland. The rate of adverse reaction of COVID-19 vaccines is on par with that of other commonly administered vaccines, while the rate among the elderly is slightly lower than that of younger people, he said.中国疫苗研制工作组组长郑忠伟最近接受采访时说，中国疾病预防控制中心监测了大陆接种的34亿剂疫苗的不良反应。他说，新冠疫苗的不良反应率与其他常用疫苗的不良反应率相当，而老年人的不良反应率略低于年轻人。Globally, China has supplied over 2.2 billion vaccine doses to more than 120 countries and international organizations, Zheng added.郑补充说，在全球范围内，中国已向120多个国家和国际组织提供了超过22亿剂疫苗。With major COVID-19 control policy adjustments underway, experts said that the emphasis of vaccination work in the near future is further boosting immunization coverage among the elderly and vulnerable groups.随着新冠防控政策的重大调整，专家表示，近期疫苗接种工作的重点是进一步提高老年人和弱势群体的免疫覆盖率。As of Dec 13, the mainland had fully vaccinated 90.37 percent of its population, but the rate was 86.6 percent for those age 60 and above and 66.4 percent for those age 80 and above.截至12月13日，大陆已为90.37%的人口全面接种疫苗，其中60岁及以上人口接种率为86.6%，80岁及以上人口接种率为66.4%。On Nov 29, the State Council rolled out an action plan dedicated to expanding vaccination among the elderly. New measures include approving different combinations of vaccine doses, requiring localities to survey their elderly population and improving the convenience of services.11月29日，国务院出台了一项专门扩大老年人疫苗接种的行动计划。新措施包括批准不同的疫苗剂量组合、要求地方调查其老年人口以及提高服务的便利性。This month, China also announced it will offer a second booster for the most vulnerable groups, including the elderly, those with severe preexisting illnesses and those with conditions that compromise their immune system.本月，中国还宣布将为最弱势群体提供第二次加强针，包括老年人、患有严重既往疾病的人和免疫系统受损的人。Zhang Shuo, a local official of Yinghai township in Beijing, said during an interview with People's Daily on Tuesday that in recent days elderly people appear more willing to get vaccinated.北京市英海镇地方官员张硕周二在接受人民日报采访时说，最近几天老年人似乎更愿意接种疫苗。"Previously, quite a number of seniors and their family members had concerns on whether vaccination would worsen their preexisting illnesses and it took great efforts to persuade them," he said.他说：“此前，不少长者和家人担心接种疫苗会不会加重原有疾病，劝说费了很大力气。”"But this year, we can tell that their attitudes have obviously changed and they sincerely want to be vaccinated. Most just consult us about questions such as whether high blood pressure and heart disease patients are eligible for immunization," he added.“但今年，我们可以看出他们的态度明显发生了变化，他们真诚地希望接种疫苗。大多数人会咨询我们一些问题，例如高血压和心脏病患者是否有资格接种疫苗，”他补充说。Arsenal 英[ˈɑːsənl]；美[ˈɑːrsənl]n. 兵工厂；武器库；军火库Tailor 英[ˈteɪlə(r)]；美[ˈteɪlər]v. 专门制作；订做pipeline 英[ˈpaɪplaɪn]；美 [ˈpaɪplaɪn]n. 输油管道，输气管道，输送管线

Tu and Lei immediately get to the biggest news of the week - the Volkswagen Group investment in Chinese chip design startup Horizon Robotics.  They both articulate what they believe the implications are from this transaction, especially at this sensitive time. Tu moves the discussion over to the increased restrictions posed on China for chips and chip making equipment by the US govt and what this does to US employees working for companies currently working to support Chinese chip design and fabrication companies.Lei then shifts the conversation over to September sales which bleeds into the Polestar 3 unveil which they debate the merits on and whether it will be competitive in the two markets where it will be manufactured - the US & China. Tu and Lei end the pod with a brief discussion about Li Bin's ambitions to be a top global automaker by 2030.

He's the former CEO of Evernote and the co-founder and CEO of All Turtles, a product studio that solves what they describe as meaningful problems. I first came across All Turtles when looking for a solution to make video presentations more engaging. In 2020, they launched a product called mmhmm which, in their words — and I'd agree — gives you ‘communication superpowers'. I've been using it ever since. While our discussion begins with mmhmm, it's the story of what the software inspired that I find really interesting. Because when All Turtles began using it internally, they also discovered a more effective way of working. What mmhmm inspired was the recognition that the perception we all have of video as a poor substitute for ‘in person' meetings is wrong. There are certain activities that can be improved by the use of video — particularly asynchronous video — and recognising that ‘face to face' time is so valuable means changing how we use that time. As Phil points out, he's not created a blueprint for how all companies should think about working; it's what works for them. But the ideas behind it are something that can inspire all companies.

The demo that I did of how I use mmhmm is here: https://www.mmhmm.app/blog/christian-hunt-compliance-expertAll Turtles also produces some fascinating videos and podcasts on the Out of Office World. Here's a video that explains the philosophical underpinnings of their approach - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBKIMhGO8WA

Krisenzeiten sind gute Zeiten für neue und nachhaltige Produkte, das hat der Serienunternehmer Phil Libin in seiner Laufbahn immer wieder beobachtet: „Wenn die Wirtschaft sehr stark ist, ist es eine gute Zeit, Dinge zu verkaufen“, sagt der ehemalige Chef des Onlinedienstes „Evernote“ im Podcast Handelsblatt Disrupt. „Wenn die Wirtschaft schwächelt, ist es eine gute Zeit, Dinge zu bauen.“ Diese Phasen seien gut, „um sich hinzusetzen, sich zu konzentrieren und zu fokussieren“. In der Coronakrise hat der US-Unternehmer auch seine Führungsprinzipien überdacht. Und er ist dabei vom Homeoffice-Gegner zum Verfechter der neuen Work-from-home-Kultur geworden: „Ich werde niemals von einem Programmierer, einem Designer oder einem Anwalt verlangen, drei Stunden am Tag im Stau zu stehen“, sagt Libin. „Das ist schrecklich und unmenschlich.“ Im Hinblick auf die Kommunikation im Team plädiert er für ein dreistufiges Verfahren. Geht es um den reinen Wissensaustausch, genügen aufgezeichnete Informationsvideos. Sind Teilnehmer aufgefordert, miteinander zu diskutieren, schlägt er interaktive Videokonferenzen vor. Geht es um Erfahrungen mit Kollegen, sei physischer Kontakt nötig. In seinem Unternehmen kommt das aber wohl nicht allzu häufig vor: Er selbst hat seine Wohnung in San Francisco aufgelöst und ist nach Arkansas gezogen - allen Mitarbeitern hat er gesagt, dass er nie wieder eine Büropflicht einführen wird. Heute leitet Libin mit „All Turtles“ ein Studio für Künstliche Intelligenz, das zahlreiche Projekte unterstützt: von „Tasseled“, das Schülern bei der Planung eines möglichst kostengünstigen Studiums hilft, bis zu „Carrot“, das Arbeitgebern ermöglicht, ihre Mitarbeiter bei Fruchtbarkeitsbehandlungen zu unterstützen. Hinter dieser Firma steht auch Kritik am Silicon Valley: Libin kritisiert, dass von jedem Vordenker mit einer guten Idee erwartet werde, ein Start-up zu gründen, auch wenn er dazu nicht genügend unternehmerische Fähigkeiten besitze. Mit „All Turtles“ will Libin diesen Vordenkern helfen, ihre Ideen umzusetzen, ohne dafür eine Firma gründen zu müssen. *** Das exklusive Abo-Angebot für Sie als Handelsblatt Disrupt-Hörerinnen und Hörer: https://www.handelsblatt.com/mehrwirtschaft

Milah is the Editor in Chief/Publisher of Dizzy Books and Dizzy MagazineGrowing up in Brooklyn, NY, Milah noted that she has been exposed to art her whole life. Early forms of her personal art took the form of the writing and poetry she created. Eventually, in college, she found a love for visual arts and began creating/directing videos and music videos. In 2016, Milah started Dizzy magazine! We discussed what lead her to starting the mag, how she figured out how to physically create it, and what it has become. Taking a strong interest and care for young artists, Milah started Mishou Magazine to showcase artists ages 15 and below. She actively expresses a high level of care for intergenerational connection within the art world!I'm trying to learn not to over share about the episodes, to not give too much away haha. I apologize for the fact that I sound like I'm underwater, I will never record on headphones ever again! Thankfully Milah sounds perfect, which is all that matters, so please enjoy :')

Until July 3, a new exhibit is running in Calgary's Glenbow Museum featuring intimate black-and-white portraits and cross-generational shots of 161 Holocaust survivors who have ties to the city. The project took years to make, shooting during the pandemic and resulting in an accompanying coffee table book and documentary film. The project is the brainchild of Marnie Bondar and Dahlia Libin, whose grandparents were all Holocaust survivors, and who co-chair the Calgary Jewish Federation's Holocaust programming. They say this art project was born out of love and awe of what their relatives went on to do after the war, and how they built new lives in Canada. On today's episode of The CJN Daily, you'll meet one of the survivors profiled in the show—she's 94 now—as well as Bondar and Libin, who will share stories of the behind-the-scenes process and what they hope visitors will take away.

Victoria Libin is an accomplished strategic legal executive with a passion for disruptive technology. She most recently was at Accenture Digital, where she led a global team of senior lawyers focused on expansion into new business areas and development of cutting-edge technology platforms. Previously, she served in senior legal roles at Viacom and multiple startups. Victoria holds a J.D. from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, a master's in art history from Harvard University, and a bachelor's in art history from Brandeis University. As senior in-house counsel we are required to see "around corners" and not only anticipate change but help lead the companies through times of change and turmoil. This requires the ability embrace risk, be willing to make mistakes, learn and grow from those mistakes, which is not natural for lawyers. However, while counterintuitive adopting a growth mindset and stepping out of our comfort zone will make us more resilient and successful. In this episode, we will explore how to become comfortable in the "grey zones" and embrace intelligent risk taking. We will discuss how to create safe zones where our team members and colleagues feel empowered to take intelligent risks and be able to make mistakes.

Phil Libin is as deeply rooted in the Silicon Valley ethos as you can find. He immigrated to the United States as a child from the Soviet Union and went on to found the once trendy tech word-processing software company Evernote. He took a detour as a venture capitalist at General Catalyst. Now he's a founder again. He's the CEO of Mmhmm, a video conferencing company that's backed by Sequoia Capital, and runs a product studio called All Turtles. Even though he has virtual reality headsets spilling out of his closet at his new home in Bentonville, Arkansas, he thinks the metaverse is “obvious b******t.” “It is a gloss that uncreative people and companies put over — fundamentally a lack of good ideas,” he says. “There's a part of me that hates it and a part of me that fears it. But since I think it's so spectacularly stupid, there's actually not that much to fear.”Tom Dotan, Katie Benner, and I discuss the metaverse and reminisce about the days when people used to throw eggs at tech buses. Libin explains why he was quick to tell his employees that they would never be coming back to the office and tells us how he got it wrong at Evernote by trying to build his life around work.

For our Wednesday show this week, Natasha and Alex Chris had prior Equity guest Phil Libin back for a chat. Libin was first on our show a while back to chat about his startup studio. But since then, he's been a little busy.You may recall that mmhmm, Libin's project to build a better video communication service, raised $100 million the other week. And we here on the Equity pod made a little bit of fun at the number. It was just so very much money for a roughly one year old company. What was the company going to use it for?Well, Libin's folks got in touch and so we decided to just have him on to chat. And we wanted him back because he was one of the most memorable guests on the show, frankly, thanks to his candor the last time around.So, what did we get into? A refresh on the mmhmm story, and notes from Libin about what's ahead for his company. It certainly has the cash to pursue its vision. But as we learned, building software for a variety of platforms comes with challenges. Challenges that are ameliorated by having lots of smart staff. So, that's where the money is going.Regardless, it was good sporting of Libin to come back for another chat. Equity is back Friday morning with our news roundup. Make sure to follow the show on Twitter, as we're doing the odd Twitter space that you won't want to miss.

Tsinghua Professor Li Bin explains the U.S. and China's different approaches in negotiating arms control agreements. He states that the two countries have “different kind of philosophy” and argues that the U.S. focuses more on the number of nuclear weapons while China focuses more on the use of nuclear weapons. Prof. Li also emphasizes that “we need more international cooperation to counter the pandemic and other global issues.”

In Ep. 22 of TechBuzz China, co-hosts Ying-Ying Lu and Rui Ma talk about electric carmaker NIO, which went public on September 12 on the NYSE. This episode covers how NIO got started, its purported business model, and how it differs from its competition. Listeners will also hear from Elliott Zaagman, a writer covering Chinese tech as well as an organizational development consultant for Chinese tech firms. Rui and Ying-Ying start their story with Li Bin, or William Bin Li, who is NIO's celebrity Founder, Chairman, and CEO. Li Bin, only 43 years old this year, is known as the “godfather of the transport sector” in China: not only did he have his first IPO in 2010 for a car-related internet company named BitAuto, but he has also invested in at least 32 companies in the transportation sector, including 5 unicorns. Indeed, Li Bin is widely recognized for being a master at both making and raising money. However, Li Bin and NIO's path in the electric vehicle (EV) industry has not been without its challenges, particularly because of the domestic sector's past experience with unreliable players such as Yueting Jia, the founder of LeEco and Faraday Future. In fact, one recent Chinese article cheekily called NIO and its fellow EVs “the cars that came out of PowerPoints”-- a partial reference to the fact that NIO raised about $2.5B in four rounds before going public, but is still losing money rapidly, to the tune of half a billion dollars in the first half of this year. Listen to the newest episode of TechBuzz China and join our co-hosts in a exploration that seeks to answer the key question: is Li Bin going to be able to deliver on the hardware he promises? Just how comparable is NIO to Tesla? What about to Xpeng Motors, founded by celebrity entrepreneur He Xiaopeng, the other high-flying EV unicorn in China with an internet DNA? What is NIO's actual business model, when it does not actually made its own cars, or even its own batteries (yes, you read that right)? Is it accurate to consider NIO a luxury brand, and if so, is that the right strategy in China? As always, you can find these stories and more at pandaily.com.

El hondureño Luis Samra es uno de los latinos que tienen gran experiencia en startups de Silicon Valley. Es el primer entrevistado #terco que fue alto ejecutivo de un unicornio. Samra fue responsable para América Latina de Evernote, la aplicación de notas en la nube que fundó (y casi fundió) Phil Libin, uno de los emprendedores más reconocidos y admirados del Valle. Luis y su equipo latinoamericano llevaron a la empresa de 100,000 a 25 millones de usuarios en nuestra región. Después, vino la debacle. Evernote no logró convertir su excelente crecimiento en usuarios en ingresos contantes y sonantes, perdió el foco en su producto principal, y terminó despidiendo cientos de empleados. El propio Libin terminó por irse también de una empresa que había perdido el Norte. “¡Vendíamos calcetines, remeras, botellas de agua!”, recuerda Luis. “…Y descuidando el producto, que era la aplicación”. Hoy, Luis nos cuenta qué pasó exactamente adentro de este unicornio que tenía todo para ganar y hoy apenas sobrevive en un mercado que se le llenó de competidores. Y lo más importante es que nos relata cómo impacta en las personas vivir una historia así desde adentro. “Es como que gasté cinco años de mi vida”, confiesa. Otra vez, El Valle de los Tercos te sorprende con una entrevista que no puedes encontrar en ningún otro lugar. ¡De nada! LINKS Luis Samra: LinkedIn | Twitter ¡NECESITAMOS CRECER!

2017-05-02 Special EnglishThis is Special English. I'm Ryan Price in Beijing. Here is the news.An international medical journal's retraction of 107 research papers from China, many of them by clinical doctors, has reignited concerns over academic credibility in the country. Tumor Biology, a journal published by Springer Nature, announced a couple weeks ago that it had retracted the papers after an investigation showed the peer review process had been compromised. Peter Butler, editorial director for cell biology and biochemistry at Springer Nature, said the articles were submitted with reviewer suggestions, which had real researcher names but fabricated email addresses.Butler told Shanghai-based news website The Paper that the editors thought the articles were being sent to genuine reviewers in the discipline. Following investigation and communication with the real reviewers, they confirmed they did not conduct the peer review. Peer review is an evaluation of work by one or more people of similar competence to those who produce the work, which helps validate research. The online notice about the retraction lists all 107 articles and 524 authors, nearly all of whom are clinical cancer specialists from China. The hospitals named are all top public institutions. This is Special English.Chinese citizens' personal information and the country's important data collected by Internet service providers may need evaluation and permission before being shared with non-domestic entities.A draft guideline has been released for public opinion by the Cyberspace Administration of China. According to the guideline, Chinese citizens' personal information should be kept within the country and be subject to security assessment before being provided to anyone outside China. The document says that to sell someone else's personal information, one must get permission from this individual.For data related to national security, the economy or public interest, the seller should coordinate a security evaluation with the authorities. The evaluation will ensure online data is managed legally. You're listening to Special English. I'm Ryan Price in Beijing. China's air quality monitoring network is to be expanded to cover a wider area, especially at the grassroots level, to facilitate scientific and effective control of airborne pollution. By March, more than 5,000 monitoring stations had been built across China. They are managed by the environmental monitoring authorities at four levels, namely State, provincial, city and county levels.The China National Environmental Monitoring Center operates 1,500 State-level monitoring stations nationwide. The center ensures that the data collected are independent of local government oversight to prevent interference and guaranteeing accuracy and authenticity. The 5,000-plus monitoring stations test for six "criteria" of airborne pollutants, including PM2.5, PM10 and sulfur dioxide, across different regions and locations. This is Special English.China imposes some of the world's toughest driving restrictions for cars, and now the checks and controls are expanding to the bicycle-sharing industry.Police in Shenzhen in south China's Guangdong Province have clearly said they are considering restrictions on the use of shared bikes, especially during the holidays, to prevent road congestion and public disorder.Police said that around 520,000 bikes have been put on the streets in the city in the year since bike sharing began.A growing number of people are taking the colorful two-wheelers to work or using them for recreation, which has brought some challenges. For example, over the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday last month, paths at a local park became seriously clogged with bikes, while careless parking of the bikes often blocks traffic as well.The police are partnering with bike-sharing companies to monitor the number of bikes in designated areas. Under the plan, if the accumulation of bikes in an area hits a certain number, a warning system will be activated that prohibits bikes from entering. Cyclists will be notified at the same time via a mobile app.A limit on the number of bikes will also be enforced, along with temporary bans in certain public areas during peak seasons.You're listening to Special English.

Australian researchers have compiled an unparalleled database detailing the almost 6 trillion tonnes of global fishing since 1950.The database was created by the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania. It was based on more than 800 million fishing records from 1950 to 2014.During the 65 years covered by the records, fishers from 193 countries caught almost 6 trillion tonnes of fish of 1,400 different species. Among them, 900 million tonnes have been taken illegally.Reginald Watson, who collated the data, said the database illustrated that the global fish population was finite.Watson said the database brings together every major international statistical collection of fisheries data since comprehensive records began, providing unique insights into the industry.He said more than 860 million fishing records have been compiled into a single harmonized view and mapped down to tiny spatial cells, so people can see where fishing has been happening and how it's changed over time.Watson said despite a plateau in recent years, the annual rate of fishing has grown from 27 million tonnes of fish taken in 1950 to 120 million tonnes in 2014.Since 1950, fisheries have moved further offshore and greatly intensified. People now have more vessels of a greater size and larger storage capacity. They are spending longer time at sea and fishing in deeper waters.This is Special English.A new study suggests that the system of grid cells, known as the brain's global positioning system, is more complicated than anyone had thought before.While the brain needs some basic navigational instruments to get around, just like a driver in a car, researchers have found that brain cells are similar to speedometers, compasses, GPS and even collision warning systems.However, researchers with Stanford University in the United States report that human brains map out the world in a more complex way. Some of the neurons in the internal navigation systems look a lot like speedometers or compasses. Many others operate flexibly, each one encoding a dynamic mix of navigational variables, like a compass that somehow transforms into a GPS when driving downtown.The project began in 2014, when scientists got a Bio-X seed grant to take a closer look at how the brain finds its way around. The same year, a Nobel Prize was awarded for the discovery of grid cells, which are specialized neurons that help animals keeping track of where they are in their environments.The findings of that time said that while some neurons fell within the ballpark of how a grid cell was supposed to behave, most provided only noisy, error-prone navigation, like a GPS on the fritz. That led the researchers to wonder whether the brain had a way to correct those errors. In 2015, they reported that the brain does have a way: boundary cells, so named because they fire when nearing walls and other landmarks.You're listening to Special English.

Now the news continues.Car models supporting autonomous driving and Internet-based services are bright spots at the 2017 Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition.A total of 113 models of car made their global debut at the auto show, which has attracted more than 1,000 exhibitors from 18 countries and regions. The 1,400 complete vehicle exhibitions included 160 new energy vehicles and 56 concept cars.The theme of this year's show is "Committed to a Better Life".The Shanghai-based electric vehicle startup Nio made its much-awaited domestic debut at the show. The company brought a model of its concept driverless car EVE, whose interior space is designed as a living room.Li Bin, founder of Nio, said that when humans are freed from driving, the car would be transformed into a space for relaxation and entertainment.Domestic auto maker Roewe unveiled its new model i6 16T, featuring a smart operation system that has access to mobile payment tool Alipay.When the driver gets on the car, the system tells them to bring an umbrella if it is going to rain. It can select routes based on real-time road conditions and the driver's habits, and can even help order and pay for take-away coffee.Another model of the carmaker, the RX5, carries a similar system. Sales of the new model have exceeded 140,000 since it was released eight months ago.German manufacturer BMW also brought new models to the show. The new models feature intelligent driving.This is Special English.Beijing is taking steps to improve its vehicle parking management by encouraging the construction of parking facilities and imposing stricter penalties for illegal parking.The Beijing Municipal Commission of Transportation released a draft of its new parking regulations recently. The document is available for public comment until May 10.A shortage of parking lots has become a serious problem in Beijing, as the number of cars in the city continues to grow. Researchers say it requires integrated efforts in planning and management to improve the situation.According to the draft regulations, police will set up parking areas along secondary roads near communities that have a shortage of parking lots.For residential communities and government buildings that can sufficiently meet their own parking demand, the authority encourages them to open their parking facilities to the public and charge fees.For existing parking areas, the government should work on raising their efficiency by improving charging systems and making full use of parking spaces in residential communities and commercial areas, as well as office buildings.Beijing's planning and transportation departments should work together to make use of spare land by building more parking facilities, especially multi-level garages, and install smart parking systems.You're listening to Special English.

Cameras captured images of a panda in a nature reserve in southwest China's Sichuan Province three years after it has been released into the wild.The pictures and videos of the panda were taken at a nature reserve in the Yi Autonomous Prefecture in late February.Researchers identified the panda as one they released into the wild in 2013 and its name is Zhangxiang. The panda is living in a suitable environment where it can find enough bamboo. After further investigation, researchers revealed that the panda was in a normal physical condition.The findings also prove that the panda has moved from one group to another. This marks another success in releasing pandas into the wilderness in China.Zhangxiang is a female giant panda born in 2011. It was released in 2013 following two years of wilderness training.

Based on inscriptions, scientists say the pagoda was built in 720 AD. It was included in the province's first list of key protection cultural relics in 1965. However, the top part of the relic was stolen away in 1996, and the rest became missing two years later. Only the foundation and certain parts were left at the site. The facade of the pagoda were carved with Buddhist scriptures and decorated with colorful paintings. （全文见周日微信。）
