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. 

Pavement's Stephen Malkmus looks back on the band's history and tells us why now felt like the right time for a reunion tour.

Producer and songwriter David Foster talks about some of the massive hits he's helped create with the likes of Céline Dion, Whitney Houston, Michael Bublé and more.

As employers adjust to a post-pandemic world, how can they design working practices that minimise human risk and maximise human reward? My guest, Phil Libin, is an experienced CEO with some fascinating insights to share on what he calls ‘The Out Of Office World'. 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.

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.

Pour ce 30ème épisode, le dernier de l’année 2020, je vous emmène à Liège rencontrer Emilie Deom, la sœur de Samuel Deom qui est lui-même le compagnon de Charlotte Renard que j’ai interviewé dans l’épisode 28# Bobone.  Et oui, l’Ardenne est une grande famille! Et c’est un peu de ça dont on va parler dans cet épisode… Après avoir passé 10 ans à Namur, pour y étudier entre autres, Emilie est aujourd’hui installée depuis plus de 5 ans à Liège. Originaire de l’Ardenne elle s’est investie dans l’affaire familiale, la société Deom, une entreprise de Libin bien connue dans la région qui existe depuis 1961.    Depuis plus d’un demi-siècle, la société Deom est forte de trois générations des membres de la famille, incarnant des fonctions stratégiques diverses. Bref, Emilie vit à Liège tout en travaillant en Ardenne. Mais surtout, elle est enceinte d’une petite fille à naître pour le mois d’avril. Alors...petite fille de la ville ou petite fille des champs ? Parce qu’on est tous né quelque part et que ce lieu unique dit quelque chose de nous, sera toujours signifiant, j’avais envie d’interroger Emilie sur ses racines mais aussi sur ce qu’elle souhaitait  transmettre, partager à sa petite fille de son histoire avec l’Ardenne. A vrai dire, je me pose moi-même ces questions. Je suis née, j’ai grandi en Ardenne et je suis enceinte aujourd’hui de 4 mois d’un petit garçon, d’un ketje comme on dit en brusseleir. Malgré le fait que j’ai fait le choix d’habiter à Bruxelles et que je m’y sente maintenant comme chez moi, je n’ai aucune idée de ce que veut dire naître et grandir en ville. Et je me dis que mon petit garçon, lui, sera un bruxellois peut-être, d’abord et avant tout. Avant d’être ardennais.   On parle de tout cela avec Emilie dans cet épisode!

A conversation with Professor Andrew Odlyzko about the forces that have driven the paradigm changes we’ve seen across the research world in the past several decades. Andrew is a professor at the University of Minnesota and worked at Bell Labs before that. The conversation centers around his paper “The Decline of Unfettered Research” which was written in 1995 but feels even more timely today.  Key Takeaway The decline of unfettered research is part of a complex web of causes - from incentives, to expectations, to specialization and demographic trends. The sobering consequence is that any single explanation is probably wrong and any single intervention probably won’t be able to shift the system. Links The Decline of Unfettered Research Andrew's Website A Twitter thread of my thoughts before this podcast (Automated, and thus mistake-filled) Transcript   audio_only [00:00:00]  In this conversation. I talked to professor Andrew Odlyzko about the forces that have driven the paradigm changes we've seen across the research world. In the past several decades. Andrew is a professor at the university of Minnesota and worked at bell labs for that our conversation centers around in his paper, the decline of unfettered research, which was written in 1995, but feels even more timely today. I've linked to it in the show notes and [00:01:00] also a Twitter thread that I wrote to get down my own thoughts. I highly recommend that you check out one of them either now or after listening to this conversation.  I realized that it might be a little weird to be talking about a paper that you wrote 25 years ago, but it, it seemed when I read it, it sort of blew my mind because it seemed so like all of it just seemed so true today. Um, and so I was, I was wondering, uh, like first do you, do you, do you sort of think that the, the core thesis of that paper still holds up? Like how would you amend it if you had to write it again today? Oh, absolutely. I'm convinced that the base thesis is correct. And as the last quarter century has provided much more evidence to support it. And basically if I were writing it today, I would just simply draw on this experience all those 25 years. Yeah. Yeah. Cause, okay, cool. So, so like, um, I sort of wanted to [00:02:00] establish the baseline of like asking questions about it is still, is still super relevant. Um, So, uh, just, uh, for, for the, for the listeners, um, would you sort of go through how you think of what unfettered research meets? Because, uh, I think many people have heard of, of sort of like, like basic or, or curiosity driven research, but I think that the distinction is actually really important. Mmm. Well, yes. So basically unfettered researchers, emotional curiosity, driven research, very closely related to maybe some shades of difference with the idea here is that you kind of find the best people. You can most promising researchers and give them essentially practically complete freedom. Give them resources, making them complete freedom to pursue the most interesting problems that they see. Um, and that was something which, uh, kind of many people still think of this as being the main mode of operations. And that's still thought [00:03:00] the best type of research in that case, but it's definitely been fading. Yeah. So, uh, would you, would you make the art? So what, like, what is the, is the most powerful argument that unfettered research is actually not the best kind of research. Well, so why is it not the best kind of research? So again, this is not so much an issue of world's best in some global optimization sense. And so on my essay. It wasn't really addressed to the forces that were influencing conduct of science technology research. Um, and, uh, I'm not quite saying that it's kind of ideal that it was happening. I said, well, here are the reasons. And given the society we live in and the institutions, the general framework here is what's happened and why it's happening. Yeah. [00:04:00] Now and a particular outfit. Yes, there was an argument coming out of my discussion was that, uh, this unfettered research was, uh, becoming a much smaller fraction of the total. And this was actually quite justified. But yes, uh, even so to a large extent, research did dominate for a certain period of time. Um, that era was ending now. It was likely to be the con kind of consigned to a few small niches. So evolving on the, a small number of people, much more of the work was going to be kind of oriented towards particular projects. Yeah, the, the, the thing that I really like about the term unfettered research that I feel like draws a distinction between it and curiosity European is that, uh, unfettered research, the idea of fettered versus unfettered, uh, feels like it refers to, um, Sort of like [00:05:00] external constraints on a researcher, whereas curiosity driven versus, uh, not curiosity driven is, uh, the motivation uh,  um, Where, where is like, curiosity? Do you have any, is like the internal, no motivation for a researcher. And I think it's, my whole framework is around  incentives. So it's like, what are the incentives on researchers and, and, uh, fettered versus unfettered really sort of, uh, touches on that. Yes. Um, personally, I don't draw a very sharp distinction between the two, I think has got into very fine gradations and so on. I'm not sure they kind of necessarily in most meaningful is our sons. Is that when we're talking, just driven around unfettered research, People are never kind of totally acting in isolation based on is our curiosity. They always react to the opportunities. They react to what they hear from other people. And very often also they are striving for recognition. Yeah, [00:06:00] invitations to stock home to receive about price and so on. That's something many people in the proper disciplines of course keep in mind or so, so there are always some constraints coming from particular group in that case, I kind of, I know these terms as almost synonymous. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. And so sort of a, the upshot of the decline of unfair research for me was, uh, kind of mind blowing. And it makes so much sense when you put it this way, that research has become a commodity. And I'm not sure how much you've been paying attention to sort of what I would called, like the, the, um, stagnation literature, where there's been a lot of literature around the idea of, of scientistic stagnation. And I realized that sort of at the core of that was this assumption about [00:07:00] research being a commodity. Like you look at these economic models and it's just like, okay, well we need more researchers to produce more research and it's this undifferentiated. Thing. Um, and so, so like in your mind, what are the implications of something specifically research becoming a commodity, right. Let me maybe kick it back a little bit. I'm not sure commodities quite the right term. Uh, I think we can relate it to something that has been documented and discussed very extensively in various areas, such as sports. Sports or maybe music and so on named new that what happens is, well, it's becoming very music, becoming very competitive, uh, schools, cranking out people are selecting them for the ability to perform at a certain level, scolding them, and then letting them go on the stage and so on and compete. And so what you find, for [00:08:00] example, you sport typically the gap between the. Top, whereas leads say the gold medal winner as a silver medal winner has been narrowing performance has been increasing in practically all areas of sports people, jump throws that are higher. They run faster. So on again, that seemed to be leveling off in many cases. People studying human physiology, argue with some quantitative models that we're approaching the limits of what's possible to do with our human body, unless we go to some other planet and other environmental assaults. Uh, so you hire these people, but you still have the best ones in there. Um, you were saying bolt, you know, kind of, uh, sprint or repeatedly case is I got a good example. And so you, you, you couldn't, it's not quite. Correct to say is that the hundred meter [00:09:00] sprinters are a commodity. There is definitely a differentiation there, and there is a reason to encourage them to compete and get better and train to do better and better. On the other hand, you come to a situation losing anyone knows the top around nurse makes less and less of a difference to the performance. It should observe. And I think that something similar happening with the research, you said that she saw you. And so I think that presupposes something that I love your take on, which is that sort of, there are natural limits to human physiology. I think like that's a pretty clear, right? Like, um, but there's. Not as clearly a limit to  technological ability or the, the amount that we can know about how the universe works [00:10:00] like possibly. Um, and so, so this is, this is almost like, it feels almost philosophical, but so the, the analogy to sports, um, Would presuppose some, some natural limit on, uh, sort of like the amount of science and the amount of technology that we could do. Um, and so, so do you think that that's, that's the case. Okay. Yes, there definitely is a difference in those kind of general research in science. We don't have these very obvious, very obvious reasonably well defined limits. On the other hand, what we're coming up against is the fact that these fields still are becoming more and more competitive, soft sciences are sort of growing. Uh, it's also your current number of sub fields is growing. A volume of information that's available is growing while that also means that watch any single individual can master [00:11:00] smaller and smaller fraction of that total. So in some sense, you could say that human society is becoming much more knowledgeable. The algorithm  each individual we can say is becoming less, less knowledgeable, knows less and less about the world. And we depend much more on the information we got from others. Uh, there's this extensive concern right now about the postural world and all of these filter baubles and such tied to how being created. And is that this almost inevitable because. How do you actually know anything? Um, sort of surveys show that maybe 10% of the people believe the earth is flat. And all those theories and all those pictures from space as being fake or creations of people with video editing tools and so on. And well, uh, most people can [00:12:00] live quite well with the mental model of that world. Uh, as long as they are not in charge of plotting rocket trajectories or airplane trajectories, and so on, same thing, vaccinations I'll do you know the vaccination is good. I'm assuming you're not . I, I believe that vaccinations are. Pretty good. How would you, you prove to me that vaccinations work again, there's a whole long chain of reasoning and data and so on. That has to be put together to really come to this conclusion that vaccinations work. Some is sometimes I ask my questions and my students. Whether they come through as the artists around now, you from Caltech, you may remember enough physics to be able to come up with a convincing argument. Most people can't. Okay. That's all. It would have been thought. It's consistent with everything sounds fine. So is [00:13:00] the result. Is that we have people, large groups of people working very hard and as much as very competitive, uh, in many cases, and you look many projects require extensive collaborations. Uh, and this has been documented in a kind of quantitative terms in some of my presentation decks. I had some, this slide. Where I showed the degree of collaboration amongst mathematicians. So similar, similar graphs could be drawn from other disciplines. Many of them moved towards more collaborative form, a head of mathematics, a lot less, but slower and so on in mathematics background, 1940 around I focused the exact numbers now, but there are 95% of the papers where it's in the bystander or, sorry. By year, 2000, 60 years later. No, it was down to about under 50%. Wow. And by now a check, I haven't [00:14:00] gotten the latest numbers. I suspect it's probably well under 40%. And so what does it reflect? Uh, I suspect to a large extent, I think that's consistent with what other people found in other disciplines who started more carefully is design need to combine different types of expertise. Great. Um, not knowing enough to be able to cut out the project. That's crazy. And so, so this, this paints for me, a really sobering picture of a world in which. Basically like as, as you need to collaborate on more things, there's more specialization. So you need more people to collaborate, uh, which just sort of by its very nature, nature increases, coordination costs. And so it feels like it's almost like just more and more friction in the system. And so each new that just like has more friction involved, um, and. [00:15:00] So like, is it, this is like the inevitable trajectory, just for things to, uh, to stall out or like, is there an escape hatch from this, uh, this conundrum? Well, I say we simply have to deal with it. No,  I don't think so. So I don't see any kind of silver bullet. I don't see a big breakthrough people doubt AI, and yes, I'm not downplaying the usefulness of various AI tools, but I still think they are likely to be fairly limited in this kind of real creative sense. Um, and so we'll simply have to deal with a fact cause that's things are getting messier. That requires more effort. Marshall was the low hanging fruit has been picked up. We'd have to work harder. And also there will be men, highly [00:16:00] undesirable features. Uh, people going off on tangents, uh, kind of, kind of creating their own alternate realities, such like going astray. That was all of those kind of build up kind of elaborate alternate realities where certain kind of art attempts are assembled together into convincing pictures. I think we'll be, we'll have to deal with that. Yeah. And, um, so, so. Another piece that you, uh, like sort of core to the thesis, is this increasing sense of competition? Um, w would it be too extreme too? Say that the, the game has sort of changed from I'm a sort of absolute game, uh, to a relative game in, in a lot of research where instead of trying to produce a. The best thing, it's just trying to produce something [00:17:00] that's better than the other person. Uh, I'm not sure, uh, whether I would put those stamps out there to think of it. Uh, I mean, there was always this element of competition. You simply look at these bitter disputes, Newton versus Libin. It's about calculus. For example, other cases. Sometimes they were resolved amicably, Darwin evolution and so on. But again, people often they're reacted to not to competition. So Darwin that, getting his book into print because he heard that well, that's just coming out with the work and so on. That's a really good point. Things like that. Uh, so I think the competitive aspect was always there. It's actually very important to get people to accelerate themselves to, to, to, to, to do their best. So I think that is always been important. Yeah, probably much more important now than used to be the occasion before is the [00:18:00] need for collaboration. A need to for collaboration, need to kind of assemble a group to work with groups towards some common goals. And especially that universities, you often see it now where the professor is less the. Yeah, investigator created more, almost like a thought leader or manager because ideas and by the customer assemble, you know, get the grants, bring graduate students and post docs who was an executor, a program. And you know, the head of the lab who gets his or her name, you know, other publications, not necessarily just lead the sense that. Because they're all found that person really is the inspiration kind of on maybe overly original ideas they use there by the second is very different from what it used to be. Say a hundred years ago. Yeah. Even a hundred [00:19:00] years ago, you saw some of it at the sun Edison. Well, it was a very good example, this larger lab, which was working under his guidance and trying out various things, all of the different materials for light bulb filament and such like it was clear that kind of Edison was driving it, but lots of people working on it and so on. But I mean, Edison was very unusual for that period these days. That is how research operates. Yes. And the, the pieces that you allude to in your paper is that, um, there's sort of, there's, there's more competition and, uh, what I would call less Slack, um, in terms, I think of those as being, uh, sort of like to counter opposing systems or to capture opposing forces. And if you. Have that, uh, like competition is what drives you to some [00:20:00] equilibrium. And then Slack is what lets you sort of like jump out of local equilibria. Um, And, and the thing that really drove this home for me was the example you give of, uh, the, the contrast between Xerox, having years and years to sort of do development around their patent and build up additional patents versus, um, the, the superconductor research where multiple groups, uh, came up with the same discovered the same thing, like within weeks of each other. And, uh, I wonder if there's. That is that, um, sort of phenomena is actually playing into the stagnation piece in that, like, this is probably not true in of itself, but like, is it possible that the reason we don't have room temperature superconductors is actually because, uh, nobody. Could would profit from bill, like could actually build up a patent portfolio around them [00:21:00] to the point where they would, where it would be profitable for them. And so like this, this competition is actually sort of like, uh, driving out, uh, paradigm shifts. Well, It's hard to say, because here we're talking about the real kind of, uh, um, natural barriers kind of room temperature, semiconductors exist, easy abstract. Okay. We don't know for certain. Yeah, of case on the other hand, what you can observe is that there have been a few labs that were established over the last couple of decades, which tried to kind of come up with this moonshots and so on. Well, I mean, Google has this X lab. I think something like that, that's been called it. Hasn't produced the very much, uh, Ellen was bill Gates collaborate on creating Microsoft. He had this kind of. So silver bullet, I mean the kind of lab in [00:22:00] Silicon Valley, uh, I forget his name right now. Again, not much has come out of it. Uh, so I think it's simply very difficult to come up with breakthrough ideas. Uh, and I mean, you know, my main area that I can talk to you about shape mathematics itself. Uh, there have been a few kind of. Really incisive ideas, new breakthroughs, last few decades, I would say many few words and used to be like I used to be for other areas more closer to applications cryptography. I used to work a lot. Uh, I would say March of what has been done over the last couple of decades have been pretty much incremental. There hasn't been all that much either way of significant breakthroughs. Um, if you look at something like Bitcoin has excited, uh, attention of many people, uh, in our work produced almost a dozen years ago. On the other hand, all the basic [00:23:00] technologies unit has been known for at least 30 years. Yes the result. Uh, so I think it's more, more a case that it's really harder to achieve breakthroughs, the kind of the low hanging fruit or the big pick. Only a few of them are, are maybe hiking around and maybe occasionally somebody will find them, but not too often. Yeah. I, I guess it's, I always, I find the, the low hanging fruit. Explanation sort of unsatisfying, I guess. And I'm always trying to, to at least like tease that apart and because, you know, it's, it's sort of like there are low hanging fruit until you find a different tree. And I feel like the, the history of the 20th century is one of just fi like repeatedly finding trees. And so the question sort of becomes like, Less [00:24:00] like, have we picked the low hanging fruit and more like, why aren't we finding more trees? And so, um, the, the argument could be like that the trees themselves are, are, are fruit. And so that they're they're low-hanging but, um, I just, I just feel the need to like, keep poking at that. Um, and like, uh, like another, another thing that I found really compelling in your paper was this idea of, uh, expectations shifting from discrete, uh, discoveries to continue to discoveries. Um, that, that was, that was pretty mind blowing. And I think it actually has to do with, uh, These the, the idea of these trees of like finding new trees. Um, do you think that. Perhaps because of the expectations of continuous improvement, that we're less, uh, less willing to sort of like start like picking fruit from new trees. Do, did stretch the analogy to the limit. Well, my, so again, from looking at [00:25:00] everything, I'm kind of inclined into the view that are simply are not that many trees. It is occasional. Things are harder. Um, you just look at many disciplines. What can you do? Even when people have brilliant new ideas? Um, they often don't go very far because they have to be incorporated with other things so on. So I've encountered various areas like networking, cryptography and things like that, where people come up with really great inventions. But they are not implementable for one reason or another. So it's hard for me to see the breakthroughs. Uh, again, something might happen. Uh, look at something like fusion, lots of resources have been devoted to trying to come up with practical way of doing controlled fusion and get cheap energy out of it. It hasn't happened. Of course it would say, well that's because, you know, maybe when [00:26:00] maybe, or maybe all of these governments brought all their resources into a blind Ellie. On the other hand, there has been a lot of clever people trying to think of other ways of doing things that will bypass that barrier. And none of them have worked out for a while. There was a great excitement about cold fusion, but that kind of flamed out very quickly. So some people talk to the culture seriously for a while. Um, now I think it's gone. Uh, is there some other way of doing it again? People have been, nobody has found that even though there definitely are incentives to do it. And these are people who have basic technical knowledge, scientific knowledge, to be able to address that question. Yeah. I want to go back to something that you, you just said, um, and, uh, and almost sort of argue against you with what I see as [00:27:00] something that you wrote, uh, which is that. So, so you mentioned that people come up with these, uh, like brilliant technical solutions, but they're not implementable for one reason or another. And. Based on, on my, my reading of your, your paper. Um, one could make an argument that the reason that they don't get implemented is, uh, not because of like some fundamental, uh, reason in the world, but because the people who would implement it, like the people who pour the resources into making it implementable and then implementing it, um, Instead prefer, like expect that, uh, the systems they're using right now and the paradigms that they're using will just get better at a continuous rate. And so there's sort of no point in making the effort to switch. Um, would that be, would that be a fair reading of, of the paper? Oh, very much so well, not cellular paper, but in journal evidence. I mean, we see it very much in the [00:28:00] computer arena and so on. Uh, kind of we've had now kind of a domination of a few kinds of operating systems. Um, we have, uh, uh, the browser. Taking over there on the internet. There's an interesting case. One of my areas, papers kind of downside non technical papers was about electronic publishing written about 1994 and a user. I kind of. The rotor balls are tools for access of information as a web. And I said, well, we have all these great tools, like gopher ways, and there are better ones coming along. Like this thing called browser. It sounds like it will be better generations. Well, I mean, some, since I was the right browser was the better, but that was the end. The browser has just evolved to absorb or to incorporate all these other things that people wanted to do. And again, many people have commented. How, if you were [00:29:00] designing a web from the ground up, you would make various decisions in different ways, but we're pretty much tied to it. And you can only do incremental change. Yeah. That's so, I mean, for me, at least, at least through another really uncomfortable conclusion that it's like, we're almost like suffering the effect of our own success. Right. Like, because we've had such continuous improvement, um, we, uh, are sort of like unable, like the discreet improvements get crowded out. Um, yeah. And it's like, And, and so, and I feel like that's sort of a different effect from, uh, the, the increased friction from, from collaboration. Right. And so I guess, uh, do you have, it's not too much different. It has to do with the greater complexity. So we kind of, uh, Each into our brains are not growing. Okay. It's not much, you know, the event [00:30:00] and we're not certainly acquiring that much knowledge. We would just acquire waste to incorporate or excess graters amounts of knowledge case. And so we're. Devoting more and more of our energy managing the complex, trying to figure out how these things interact. It's much less, much less the point of trying to find some very simple principles F equals ma. Okay, brilliant Newton in that case. Uh, well, uh, people try to come up with such simple concepts that would explain a lot of what God's in his own world and they're failing. That was because of all this complicated. Yeah, no, that's, that's actually, that's a really good point. And that increases the switching costs for, for new systems. Um, if everything is super interconnected, you can't just sort of like [00:31:00] take off the, the module and stick on, on the other module. Although it might suggest that like in a, like a amazing world, uh, We would pay more attention to making things modular, um, right. Like, and, and that sort of like that is at least in some way, a way to abstract away complexities. Right, but we do a bad job of that. Yep. We're doing a very, very poor job of it in the case and yes. Uh, it's one of these other kinds of customers. It's a trade off, uh, the issues. How much effort do you put into making this modular? And one of the problems is that people. I've always had this mental image of software, something that can be modified very quickly. And so therefore there is really no need to, or about interoperability and so on. Well, we fix it when we, and then we generally, we don't, uh, a friend of my browsers [00:32:00] several decades ago. I had this great saying this was in a context of talk communication switches. And you said, what's the difference between hardware and software versus hardware? You can change. Brutal because the engineer is developing hardware sort of knows that these things are now going to be out there and people will have to live with them and then maybe have to repeat replaced and so on. So they pay much more. Attention to modularity. You have all these standards about this, which define what kind of connectors you have, what are the voltages and phase electricity and everything else, the attitude as well. Okay. It's all kind of can be modified. So you end up with this mess of spaghetti code. Okay, you cannot change. And so you have all of these crucial [00:33:00] systems running around, powering our economy. That's all written in Kabul. I've heard. I see, I saw a news article recently that like different governments were desperately trying to hire COBOL engineers that were paying like massive amounts of money because they can't switch. Um, Although, you're also seeing a sort of what I would call it, decreased modularity in hardware systems as well. You know, it's like the, the, the car engines that you can't service yourself for the batteries that you can't replace. Um, and obviously there are good things. There are good reasons for doing that. Um, well of course it's good or maybe not so good. So again, a lot of it has to do with intentional design Lakin. So one manufacturer's making difficult for you to kind of do things. Is there a largely in order to control the user, the other guy gets into the economic incentives. He's also STEM. [00:34:00] Yeah. And, um, I I'd actually love to, to rewind. And, um, what was the question text of you writing this, this paper in the first place again? Because it feels, it feels so contemporary that it's shocking that you wrote it, uh, like more than two decades ago. Yes. Well, that's a very interesting question and very easy to explain. So those written into context of working at bell labs and bell labs was one of these people because of jewels or whatever it is. So it's a really wonderful place. Uh, I joined it right after graduation from high school graduate school. That'd be very impressive. No, no, no, that was it. I spent a summer there before that, but not out of getting my PhD. I joined it and work as there for extended, you know, for several decades. She, most of my career so far has been spent at bell labs [00:35:00] and ATNT labs afterwards. And when I joined, uh, bell labs was still dominated by the of unfettered research. It wasn't completely unfettered. Actually. It was one of the big strengths of it. Namely, there was a certain thing to kind of pressure to do things and also being part of the bell system. We had contact with real world in some sense, closer than say academics did, but otherwise they're all still this ideal of almost unfettered research. Give me lots of freedom. And that was changing. When I was there over the decade before I wrote the essay or declined research. And so basically I was looking around the whole scene, not just that bell labs, what a world, the science of technology and so on, and was trying to explain to my fellow, uh, kind of colleagues at bell labs. [00:36:00] Why is it that we were experiencing this pressure, which many were very concerned about, you know, fearful, resentful or other kinds of things. So that's really, what's the context of it. It was really about these traditional. Uh, large industrial research labs, like bell labs. IBM kind of what's on the research lab and there's some algorithm. Uh, and are your answer? I already alluded that back to the same factors would start influencing kind of other types of research, especially academic research. And so on because when indeed been happening, but at that stage, I was kind of seeing it as a front lines as, as our wave was coming in and of reacting to it. Yeah. That, that that's fascinating. And, and sort of as, as more, I guess, more fetters were put on researchers at bell labs. Um, did [00:37:00] you, did you have any conversations? So sort of like with, um, The people who were starting to put, like put those pressures on, on the research. Not well, not, not real deep conversations or so no, but Tommy of course we had general conversations about what was being done. Uh, you know, how the reorganizations, how the reward structure was changing and all these other kinds of things. Yeah. How, how, how did the rewards trust structure change? If I may ask not much more, uh, uh, much more attention was being paid to work, being done for the company. Or interactions that were more closely related to what the company was doing and much less on just pure scientific accomplishments, which might be kind of a recognized on the outside. As one example, one of the, my colleagues wrote some papers with him. She was also in my department after I was promoted to department head for [00:38:00] many years, very distinguished researcher. He was on the. Few people who was member of national Academy of sciences, national Academy of engineering, and what was then called Institute of medicine now, national Academy of medicine. So on August bodies, this was all for work. He did on foundations of a kind of computer cat, computer, extra tomography, which is basically. Was working on some mathematical problems of reconstruction from, uh, kind of the images x-ray measurements and so on. So he did do a lot of this work and that had practically no kind of, uh, uh, no. No connection to bell system might do well, actually there was a little bit, we tried to develop some of these techniques for electrical tomography, for some cables, anomaly [00:39:00] detection, other kinds of things, but basically this was working a few did, but had a great influence. I say it. Improved the health of many people. And so on, it was widely recognized on the outside that, uh, you know, a bit of some things that belonged to the earlier era of bell labs, not to the final stages of it. Yeah. And, and, and so I guess the, um, sort of implication of that for me is that he then did not like he wasn't really that rewarded. Uh, w w basically he was rewarded because this was the earlier, you know, that he kind of retired when things were really changing and so on. And. So kind of a long story. He did very well. He was widely recognized. He contributed to many other things too, but this computerized tomography work, that was a major undertaking for him, which took a lot of time. [00:40:00] Yeah. And, and, um, do you have a sense of how long it took him to do that? Like, like how, how much time did he spend just sort of like, uh, Oh, seemingly producing nothing. Well, no, no, it wasn't not just that these things were getting published in general scientific journals, but they were not kind of relevant to what bell system was doing. Yeah, it's touched for a number of years, I'd say five years, something like that. And so like sort of counterfactually uh, is there a reason why sort of, if he were working today, he would not be able to do that in like a university setting? Uh, well, uh, again, it depends, so, um, he might be able to do it. Other than you need to make sure that you get some kind of a funding agency recognizing that this is a [00:41:00] promising area. Uh, I don't know, is that right? Once he started doing it, whether NSF or other agencies where knowledgeable knew enough about it and you regard it as promising enough, so not impossible. So there were some. People who kind of proposed doing this before there was an issue of how do you actually get useful reconstructions, extra imaging that you obtain. And I think that's kind of part of this big change. Now you'll have many more people kind of looking around trying to find something to do and, uh, Again, if you're persuasive enough, uh, and you can convince enough people and you can persuade you the private founder. Yeah. Shouldn't or maybe you can persuade and some adventure, some national science foundation. So the director to set up a program for fun, you know, a particular type of [00:42:00] research. Yeah. So, so no, I mean, I'm not saying that this new style of research is in capable of producing breakthrough results, but, but you do, you do it, it does seem like there are, there's a sort of different set of constraints on it, right? Like it's uh, so if you have someone who is, um, sort of antisocial and, uh, bad at bad at sales, basically, um, the chances of them. Being able to create this breakthrough, uh, are probably lower. That's right. So then they succeed on leave. They hook up with somebody who's more of a promoter. Okay. And then was she examples of it? Some, some people who managed to assemble a group and kind of collaborate.   Be very conducive towards, so, you know, facilitate interactions amongst them and direct them means our rights area. And even you, those are kind of these kind of [00:43:00] very nerdy types and so on. They might still be very effective at coming up with useful products or services. Yeah. And, um, uh, another area of the paper that I felt was, was very prescient, was you're, you're focused on sort of Japanese, um, sort of the Japanese, uh, economy, and that you pointed out that the Japanese business structure, uh, should be able to enable longterm work. Um, and, and yet it doesn't. Um, and so. Uh, that's, that's sort of a, a counter, like a counterfactual to the argument that like, Oh, we just like don't have long enough timescales and like, uh, like stockholder pressure is, is forcing people to work on shorter timescales. Um, do you feel like that is still true in, in terms of, uh, like the Japanese, uh, like that Japanese. Um, output has not [00:44:00] created like breakthroughs that we would expect to happen. No, it has not. Again, again, a part of it may have to do with the kind of cultural factors or how their corporations are structured. And so on. I certain are excellent. They are still pretty top technology sees a world in different areas. On the other hand, when you look at records of some people, there was one particular guy. I forgot his name now. I think the blue laser. I think this was the breakthrough invention and so on, but very hard time, this company was not really properly rewarded or so, and it was almost like a little bit do a skunkworks work and it kind of gets things most other side. Indeed.  I want to be respectful of your time. So the, the closing question I ask everybody is just, what, what should people be thinking about that? They're not thinking about enough right now, [00:45:00] people shouldn't be thinking about. Very very hard. Very hard question. I don't think I have a simple answer. Give a complex answer. Welcome to my particular concentration right now is a group thing. Uh, so I think that's, uh, again, I won't say this will be central for everybody and so on, but I think it's a very important question. The degree to which a human, uh, society really depends on groups, to what extent it's actually let us stray, uh, where people disregard are very obvious evidence in order to, uh, adhere to the preferred worldview. And I'm studying financial manuals, baubles, precisely from that standpoint, how is it that people manage to overlook all those very obvious sides? Yeah. Yeah. [00:46:00] It's uh, one thing, actually, I I'll just, um, what do you, what's your take on the argument that, uh, there are some like, especially like infrastructure, um, things that never would have happened without bubbles. So, so there's this argument that like, we, we actually would never have the railroad infrastructure or like the telecom communications infrastructure, uh, without bubbles. Yes. I don't think that's true that we'll never have had it. A single comment probably would have come more slowly. Oh, so, uh, I mean, technology will typically these basic technologies have been developed before achieve what led to the bubbles was the appearance of, uh, of the technology in a form that could be deployed. And that make money, the case, and that gives rise to excessive optimism and, uh, you know, future investment manuals. But I just can't think of anything. That's kind of juice, just the bubbles [00:47:00] by themselves. Like the, that there's there's. So, so you don't think that there's some sort of activation, like if you think about it, like a cat chemical reaction, there's like an activation energy that's actually higher than the sustaining energy of, of the reaction that's provided by a bubble. Yes. Well, okay. So I think there's some of it and to somewhat, you know, various ways of thinking about barcodes, they lead to faster deployment. Some technologies will be through otherwise they open up people's minds. Um, extent. And to some extent they may also drain of some of the irrational energies, which might otherwise be deployed in more destructive ways. That case some people regardless, just farfetched, but there are some ways you could think of the Bible says being conducive to human progress. My key takeaway is that the decline of unfettered research is part of a complex web of causes from incentives to [00:48:00] expectations, to specialization and demographic trends. The submarine consequences that any single explanation is probably wrong. And any single intervention probably won't be able to shift the system.

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.”

Global warming and climate change have created an unprecedented global interest in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, especially in energy production. Biomass, or organic matter, which is a renewable energy source that can replace fossil fuels in energy production is gaining popularity. Consequently, commercialising agricultural residues as biomass is gaining momentum in many countries. In a pioneering study, Onur Boyabatli, Associate Professor of Operations Management and DBS Sustainability Fellow at SMU’s Lee Kong Chian School of Business, together with Assistant Professor of Operations Management Buket Avci, and PhD student Li Bin, studied the economic and environmental implications of biomass commercialisation in agricultural processing industries. In this podcast, Associate Professor Boyabatli shares his insights into this trending subject and the policy implications of their research findings.

When you’re a first time mom, it can be extremely isolating, daunting, and overwhelming. There are times when you feel so alone because you don’t have the ability to socialize, connect, and network with women and friends like you once did. Evolutionarily speaking, we all need a village. And for me, that’s HeyMama. I live and work from my home in NJ and as you know I have twins and a baby under 3. I am juggling a ton going from digital marketing clients to podcast recordings to family life and found it so challenging to meet new people and prospect since I’m not going to weekly night time events anymore. I was introduced to HeyMama shortly after I had my third by my friend Michelle Ranavat, founder Ranavat Botanics, who lives in CA and then my friend Patrice Poltzer who is also in New York whom I know through BNI (I’m the president of the Activate 58 Chapter in NY) told me about the same week so I applied and was accepted and it’s been just the community I was seeking to be a part of both online and offline.

Growing up in New York City, cinematographer Charles Libin absorbed the gritty, seventies-era filmmaking of movies made in Manhattan like “Taxi Driver”, “Mean Streets”, and “Dog Day Afternoon”. The Brooklyn-based cinematographer has over the years done documentary camerawork on several Jonathan Demme films including his Neil Young Trilogy, and numerous performance films including Julian Schnabel’s “Lou Reed: Berlin” as well as feature work for Jim Mckay’s “En El Séptimo Día,” one of the Hollywood Reporter’s ten best films of the year. Libin’s latest documentary work is the soon-to-be released “The Gift: The Journey of Johnny Cash”. We sat down with Charles to discuss his influences growing up in such a heady time in New York during the evolution of on-location shooting.

Dans cet épisode, je vous propose une petite échappée théorique avec un homme passionnant. Cet homme c’est Daniel Bodson. Il est Docteur en sociologie et spécialiste des thématiques liées à la ruralité. Monsieur Bodson habite à Villance, un petit village de la commune de Libin, qui se trouve à 10 kilomètres seulement de Poix-Saint-Hubert. Il a notamment publié "Les Villageois" aux éditions l’Harmattan ainsi que l’ouvrage photographique "Il y a une vie en dehors des villes" avec Jean Marc Bodson. Avec lui, nous réfléchirons à ces questions : Est-il encore acceptable aujourd’hui de parler de ruralité en Belgique? A quoi ça rime d’habiter quelque part à dans notre époque hyper connectée. Ruraux et urbains même combat? Et demain, Quel(s) rôle(s) joueront les ruralités ?

Cette semaine  nous partons à Hautgné, dans la campagne liégeoise, pour rejoindre mon cousin Dimitri le frère de John et Pauline Brisy. Dimi est architecte. Il a vécu de nombreuses années à Liège jusqu’à ce qu’ils décident  récemment avec son épouse Margaux de s’installer dans la campagne Liégeoise. Ils vivent actuellement dans des conteneurs et c’est avec lui que nous clôturons notre mini-série sur Libin.  Parce qu’il est possible d’avoir vécu dans la même maison, avec les mêmes parents sans pour autant partager la même histoire avec son village natal… 

Cette semaine nous poursuivons notre mini-série sur Libin. Parce qu’il est possible d’avoir vécu dans la même maison, avec les mêmes parents sans pour autant partager la même histoire avec son village natal…    Nous partons  à la rencontre de ma cousine Pauline, la sœur cadette de John dont vous avez fait la connaisssance dans l’épisode précédent.  Pauline m’a accueilli pour une papote dans le jardin de la maison familiale et vous entendrez qu’on a bien rigolé.  Pauline a 24 ans, elle vit à libin et est comédienne professionnelle depuis de nombreuses années. Elle a notamment joué un des premiers rôles du film "Le grimoire d’Arcandias" aux côtés de Christian Clavier, Anémone et Isabelle Nanti  Aujourd'hui, elle poursuit en parallèle des études de traduction à Liège.

Dans cette épisode, nous partons pour Alicante, où vit mon cousin John Brisy, pour parler de Libin son village natal.  John ouvre ma mini-série sur Libin qui se poursuivra avec les interviews de son frère et de sa sœur, Dimitri et Pauline. Parce qu’il est possible d’avoir vécu dans la même maison, avec les mêmes parents sans pour autant  partager la même histoire avec son village natal…   Libin est une commune située dans la province de Luxembourg, en ardenne belge, qui rassemble un peu plus de 5000 habitants  Le village est bordé à l’ouest par l’autoroute A4/E411 reliant Arlon et Bruxelles. La commune de Libin est également arrosée par la Lesse, qui coule dans les villages de Ochamps, Anloy, et Villance. Je n’aurais jamais imaginé que mon cousin prendrait cette voie! John et moi avons le même âge et avons tous deux travaillé, étant jeunes, dans l’hôtel familial ce qui nous a lié particulièrement et laissé beaucoup de souvenir. Je me souviens précisément d’une fin de service, on ferme tous les deux autour d’une bière. On a 20 ans. On parle du futur et john m’annonce qu’il partira faire un stage de 6 semaines, à Dublin, à la fin de ses études de Marketing. Il y restera au final 3 ans et commencera à parcourir le monde...

In episode 304, Rui Ma, co-founder of Transformative Technology Academy and co-host of the Techbuzz China podcast joined us in a conversation to discuss Xiaopeng Motors and extending the conversation to analyse the state of electric cars (EVs) market in China. We dived deep to the origins of Xiaopeng Motors with its legendary founder, He Xiaopeng, and how it amassed a huge and massive funding from Alibaba Group and other investors. From there, we bring in the other key players: Nio, WM Motors and Byton into the fray and how Tesla and the traditional automotive companies such as SAIC are approaching the Chinese market. Here are the interesting show notes and links to the discussion (with time-stamps included): Rui Ma, Founder of Transformative Technology Academy and Host of TechBuzz podcast by Pandaily produced by SupChina (LinkedIn, @ruima) [0:19] Since our last conversation, what have you been up to? [0:34] Can you talk about the influencer marketing in China on a recent Techbuzz China podcast? [1:24] Rui Ma's thoughts on the e-cigrattes market in China [2:55] Xiaopeng Motors and State of EVs in China [3:34] Reference: TechBuzz China Episode 22 - NIO  Introduction: Xiaopeng Motors is an electric car company who has recently raised US$587M (~ 4B RMB) in China backed by Alibaba Group and many other prominent investors? [4:09] [Ref: Chinese electric car start-up Xpeng raises US$587 million as it gears up to take on Tesla, SCMP and TechBuzz China episode on NIO] What is the mission and vision of Xiaopeng Motors? [5:43] Can you talk about He Xiaopeng, the CEO and Chairman of the company and former co-founder / CTO for UCWeb, China's largest web browser acquired by Alibaba Group over US$4.3B? What is his background before he started Xiaopeng Motors? [7:35]  Does Xiaopeng Motors build their own cars? Where and how do they produce their electric cars? [8:55] Recently, they have unveiled their latest car, G3 in CES and the car is priced at US$47K compared to Tesla Model 3 priced at US$30K, can you talk about the different car models which they have done so far or will be doing? [12:58] Can you talk about William Li Bin, NIO’s celebrity founder and how has he managed to create a car company out of powerpoints? What is the rivalry between the EV car companies founders and other tech founders? [15:18] Let’s expand the scope of the EV market in China out, and other than Xiaopeng & NIO, there are also other companies such as WM (or Weima) Motor and Byton, how are these EV cars company differ in how they approach the market?  [19:00] Has the Chinese government like the US government during the Obama era been supportive of EVs, and have they offered similar type of incentives for the Chinese consumer? [22:52]  What is their business model for Xiaopeng Motors? Is it similar to Tesla or NIO? [26:07] How are EVs viewed and perceived in China? Will the chinese consumer purchase an electric car? [27:40] It’s interesting that Alibaba backed Xiaopeng and Tencent backed NIO and is the EV market another extension or proxy war between the Chinese tech giants and what are their intentions behind the market? [29:20] It seems that the car market is focused on EVs and not autonomous vehicles. Is that a tacit acknowledgement that self driving technologies are not ready for the Chinese market? [31:10] How about the traditional car companies in China who have partnered with VW Group, GM Motors such as SAIC, or non-traditional car companies such as BYD which started off as a battery company and now a car company or new EV companies from the US such as Tesla? How do these players fit into this new EV market within China? [32:43] Closing [34:47] Can you recommend a book, podcast or anything else that has impact to your work and personal life recently?

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast, where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines.Kate and Alex were here yesterday to dig into the Uber IPO filing; for today's episode, we put that aside and discussed everything else that happened this week. Lucky for us, for the second half of our Thursday podcast-a-thon, the excellent Phil Libin joined us. He was the perfect guest for an IPO-heavy week.You may know Libin as a co-founder of Evernote, or part of General Catalyst, a venture shop. What's he up to now? We took the time to let him explain it, so listen up and you'll find out.This week we talked about a few other IPO results, including what's going on with Lyft's stock price (it's going down and Uber's expected IPO price range isn't helping) in the wake of the company's own hugely successful IPO (in terms of capital raised). Lyft may be losing altitude due simply to hype wearing off but at least now we understand how important its first earnings call will be. We turned next to Pinterest, the buzzy visual search engine that's now being called an 'undercorn.' We didn't spend too much time mocking the phrase, interestingly, instead, our guest explained his philosophical stance on IPOs, in general. He spoke for a while and Alex and Kate nodded their heads in agreement. They especially agreed with his claim that companies shouldn't have to sacrifice culture for profits, amen! Staying on the IPO theme, PagerDuty was next. It's IPO performance has been huge, and big, and impressive. And in a wave of appreciation towards everyone who has listened to the show for a long time, we did not spend 14 minutes arguing about IPO pricing. You're welcome! We ended with Kate doing a rapid-fire review of all the venture capital funds that announced closes this week because there were a lot, including Slow Ventures, Defy.VC and Texas's LiveOak Venture Partners. If you're already itching for more Equity, we have a feeling next week will be another heavy news week with Pinterest and Zoom's IPO on the docket.

The upcoming Hanoi Summit and the United States’ withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) are two important developments in the area of nuclear arms control with significant implications for the Asia-Pacific region. In this episode, Tong Zhao spoke with Li Bin, senior fellow in the Carnegie Endowment’s Nuclear Policy and Asia programs, about the importance of these two critical nuclear arms control issues and their implications for China.

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!

Interview with author Richard F. Libin. It doesn't matter what you do, where you come from, or where you're headed. This book is about you. Why? Because everyone is selling something every day; because everyone is a salesperson - parents, teachers, consumers, employees, sales professionals and even politicians. Every day you are trying to sell something, from the time you get up until you go to bed. You negotiate, communicate and you try to influence the way people think. Like it or not, selling is an essential skill. Who Knew?

Machine learning has shown the capacity to amplify our cultural and gender biases. Addressing the problem begins with admitting it exists. Join Hosts Phil Libin, Jessica Collier, and Blaise Zerega as they discuss ways to limit the impact of language that reinforces stereotypes.

Phil Libin, co-founder and former CEO of Evernote, the note-taking app, recently moved into a new phase of his life. He turned 45, launched a new AI startup studio, All Turtles, and perhaps most significantly, lost a ton of weight. Phil has been a big guy since his late teens. He knew he was obese but did nothing about it until eight months ago. That’s when he decided to join the growing clan of fasting enthusiasts in Silicon Valley. It worked. He has lost 86 pounds (39 kilograms). Blood tests suggest he could be 20 years younger. And here’s the kicker: Phil says he plans to continue fasting indefinitely - not because he needs to lose much more weight but because he enjoys a sustained feeling of "mild euphoria" while not eating. He fasts periodically for up to eight days at a time. In this in-depth interview, Phil explains why his extreme regime is so invigorating; how he pushed back at his doctor, who thought it was a bad idea; and why he likens fasting to skydiving.

In this sermon, guest speaker Libin Abraham spoke about Psalm 24.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Traditionally in China, people prefer to stay where they are when they grow old and seldom travel. But now, an increasing number of people have been breaking with tradition. When winter comes, they will pack their luggage and go to Hainan, China's tropical island province, to avoid the cold in the north. They are dubbed "migrant birds." Huang Ping from Beijing is one of them. In middle age now, she is looking for a place to travel and spend her winters after retirement. Hainan is one of her possible options. However, she has concerns about the availability local medical services and amenities. "The place for me must have several facilities: first, a nice place to live; second, quality medical service. For example, when I am old, I will probably need good medical services under some emergency situations. Third, there must be facilities, such as cafes, restaurants and so on." Huang Ping's expectations when it comes to a good place to live and travel will soon become a reality in Boao, Hainan province. The Island is building China's first special zone for medical travel. The Boao Lecheng International Medical Travel Zone will be located near Qionghai city and Bo'ao Town, covering an area of about 20 square kilometers. Lu Zhiyuan, director of the Hainan Tourism Development Committee says Hainan Island has a unique advantage for developing medical tourism. "Hainan Island has very good air quality, very pure water, blue sky and ocean. Currently the pm2.5 in Boao is at 4." The Director of The National Health and Family Planning Commission, Li Bin, says China has further advantages in the development of international medical tourism, with its rich resources, quality medical service, low costs, and even Chinese traditional medicines. "Through developing medical tourism, the health service industry and tourism industry will be linked together. That will be favorable to the country's economic transformation and upgrading, and it will also provide more job opportunities, meanwhile, it will make Chinese medical institutions take steps to adapt to international demand, so that the overall standard of medical service will be enhanced." Li Bin adds that the International Medical Travel Zone in Hainan is taking the lead in the mission the healthy development of the health service industry. The government is allowing several privileges and policies in the trial zone. Overseas medical institutions will be allowed to set up business within the zone. Other preferential policies will include lower taxes for imported medical instruments and medicines, and some frontier medical programs will be allowed. Medical tourism, which combines travel with leisure and healthcare, is already popular in some Asian countries and regions like Singapore and Hong Kong. Former Prime Minister of Australia Bob Hawke says he believes the Bo'ao Lecheng International Medical Travel Zone is promising. "The island of Hainan is an extremely attractive place, so the concept of bringing together the best western medicine, specialists and Chinese medicine here in this great new center, it's absolutely a magnificent concept. And I'm absolutely sure it's going to be an outstanding success, because it has what people need, and it will be great for the economy of Hainan, and it would be good for China." Hawke adds that the issue of aging populations is confronting the world today, and that will help the international medical travel zone prove to be a success. Construction of the zone is estimated to cost up to 100 billion yuan, or some 16 billion US dollars.

Carnegie-Tsinghua's Paul Haenle and Li Bin discuss the recently concluded Third Nuclear Security Summit, China's nuclear security concept, and its contributions to international nuclear security.

Well, we're starting the show today with a segment I'm calling “sappy Cynthia.” Graduating two kids in the next 10 days has brought out all the feels, and last night was Brett's last baseball game—talk about full-on nostalgia (alongside a stomach bug I'm currently fighting).But on today's show, I'm joined by Libin Abraham, the pastor of my church, Bent Tree Bible. I recently heard Libin preach a powerful sermon series on the Holy Spirit, and it really impacted me. As soon as I heard it, I knew I had to share it with all of you.This week we dive into the topic of living a Spirit-filled life. Libin breaks down who the Holy Spirit is and how He works in our everyday lives. Practically speaking, Libin talks about how the Holy Spirit changes our desires, moves us to pray for others when we don't even know how, and equips us to do things we'd never imagine ourselves doing—like stepping into foster care when it wasn't even on our radar.Next week, Libin will be back, and we'll talk about how to know if it's the Holy Spirit speaking to you or just your dinner from the night before. Make sure you tune in over the next two weeks for these powerful and practical insights on living in the Spirit.All things CynthiaBent Tree Bible Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

We're kicking off this week's episode with part two of Sappy Cynthia—my newest segment, where I share a little more of the real-life stuff going on over here. This week, I'm talking about my daughter's college graduation and what made me cry (which was basically most things). Then we jump into another great conversation with my pastor and friend, Libin Abraham. I've absolutely loved learning more about the Holy Spirit through these conversations, and Libin has such a gift for making it practical and approachable. This week, we're talking all about spiritual gifts—from hospitality to healing, administration to prophecy—and how the Holy Spirit equips us for the exact places and purposes where we've been planted.We also get into:Whether your gifts can shift over timeWhy spiritual maturity isn't measured by your gifts The difference between residential gifts (the ones wired into your bones) and circumstantial gifts (the ones that show up when needed most)Why not using your gift might actually rob someone else of what they needHow walking in your gifting makes the yoke easier and the burden lighter—even in ministryWe also get some practical tips on how to know if you're hearing from the Holy Spirit. It's such a rich and encouraging conversation today—so listen in and be sure to share it with someone who needs the reminder that the Holy Spirit is powerful and available for our everyday lives.
