Daydreaming has a bad reputation – we say things like "he's away with the fairies" or "she has herhead in the clouds" implying these people are inattentive, easily distracted, maybe even lazy. Is this reputation justified? Or is a trip to la-la land actually something that might benefit us?白日梦的名声很差——我们说“他和仙女在一起了”或“她的头在云端”,暗示这些人注意力不集中、容易分心,甚至可能很懒。 这种声誉是否合理? 或者说去la-la land旅行实际上可能对我们有益?First, it's important to differentiate daydreaming from mind wandering. Mind wandering happens when you're busy with a task and your mind disengages from it, whereas daydreaming happens when you're doing nothing and spontaneous thoughts unrelated to your surroundings pop up. In a review of research called 'The costs and benefits of mind-wandering', the authors found mind wandering negatively impacted reading comprehension, attention, memory and intelligence. None of that sounds great, so are there any benefits at all?首先,区分白日梦和走神很重要。 当你忙于一项任务而你的思绪脱离它时,就会发生走神,而当你无所事事并且与周围环境无关的自发想法突然出现时,就会发生白日梦。 在一项名为“走神的成本和好处”的研究综述中,作者发现走神会对阅读理解、注意力、记忆力和智力产生负面影响。 这些听起来都不太好,那么有什么好处吗?Activities that allow your mind to wander, like having a bath or meditating can lead to the 'aha' moment that you've been waiting for, which is why people often say they have their best ideas in the shower. This might work in the workplace too. In a 2021 study called 'Zoning out or breaking through? Linking daydreaming to creativity in the workplace', the authors concluded that "daydreaming carries noteworthy benefits for creativity". In other words, daydreaming at work may help you to come up with solutions to your problems. It's also suggested that daydreaming can provide a sort of mental escape, both from the difficulty of the task, but also from the stresses of everyday life.让你的思绪飘逸的活动,比如洗澡或冥想,可以让你得到一直在等待的“顿悟”时刻,这就是为什么人们经常说他们在淋浴时想到了最好的想法。 这在工作场所也可能有效。 在 2021 年一项名为“分区还是突破?”的研究中 作者将白日梦与工作场所的创造力联系起来,得出结论:“白日梦对创造力具有显着的好处”。 换句话说,工作中的白日梦可能会帮助你找到问题的解决方案。 还有人认为,白日梦可以提供一种精神上的逃避,既可以逃避任务的困难,也可以逃避日常生活的压力。So, it seems daydreaming might be a bit of a double-edged sword, and the extent to which it provides benefits rather than downsides depends on things like how positive the thoughts are as well as your ability to identify and control them. If you find yourself endlessly staring into space, pondering the meaning of life while you're trying to get things done, why not try a mindfulness technique?因此,白日梦似乎是一把双刃剑,它带来好处而不是坏处的程度取决于诸如想法的积极程度以及您识别和控制它们的能力等因素。 如果你发现自己在努力完成事情的同时不断地凝视着太空,思考生命的意义,为什么不尝试正念技巧呢?Observe the thoughts as they pop up, visualise them as clouds and watch them pass by. Alternatively, when you've got some time to yourself, instead of reading a book or listening to music, why not let yourself get lost in thought?观察突然出现的想法,将它们想象成云,然后看着它们消失。 或者,当您有一些独处时间时,为什么不让自己陷入沉思,而不是读书或听音乐呢?

Most interoperability debates focus on exchange formats. In this discussion with Dr Nils Hellrung, medical informatician and CEO Strategy & Operations at vitagroup, Nils focuses on the need for shaping hospital IT with governance and financing. Linking proprietary systems through standards, he says, will always lose meaning, which is why he backs openEHR as a vendor-neutral clinical data core, with FHIR used for exchange. vitagroup in providing the data platform for Catalonia, and just signed a contract with a large hospital group in France. The discussion touches different market approaches to interoperability and challenges of markets such as Germany, where each federal state has its own authority to regulate and implement as they please. Tjasa Zajc and Nils Hellrung talk about what "AI-native" data integration means in practice, why 95% accuracy of AI is not good enough in healthcare, and whether Europe ends up with monolithic US EHRs or open platforms.

The Front Row of Your Life: Part 5 of 5Speaker: Randy Roberts
Policy decisions shape investability, market resilience and long-term returns. In a fragmented global economy, what role should investors play in engaging with governments as part of their stewardship approach? Nathan Fabian, Chief Policy & Research Officer at the PRI, is joined by Jane Ambachtsheer, Chief Sustainability Officer at BNP Paribas Asset Management. Together, they explore how investors can engage policymakers in an evidence-based, financially relevant way, from transition planning and taxonomies in Asia-Pacific to system-level risks and real-economy policy.The conversation also examines asset-owner expectations, stewardship and collaboration, asking how investors can contribute market insight without drifting into partisanship - and what the responsible investment community needs to deliver reliable outcomes for its clients.Detailed coverage:Asia-Pacific policy is moving from frameworks to implementationJane and Nathan discuss transition planning, decarbonisation roadmaps and taxonomies in Japan and China, where investor-policy dialogue is increasingly pragmatic and focused on tools that improve decision-making.Four megatrends are reshaping investment riskJane outlines four megatrends - geopolitics, the environment, innovation and demographics - and why investors need to consider both individual and interconnected system-level risks.Financial policy and real-economy policy are two sides of the same coinThe conversation explores how investor engagement can span disclosure and taxonomy rules as well as economic policies that influence technology, transition pathways and capital deployment.Investors can contribute evidence, not partisanshipNathan and Jane discuss why long-term investors can provide market insight on investability, risk and resilience while maintaining a financially material and objective basis for policy engagement.Policy engagement needs clearer asset-owner expectationsJane reflects on how policy work can be harder to measure than corporate engagement, and why stronger mandates, case studies and accountability can help asset owners assess what managers are doing.Stewardship and policy engagement should reinforce each otherCompany engagement can reveal transition barriers and opportunities that investors can bring to policymakers, while policy positions should remain consistent with voting and corporate stewardship.Credibility and collaboration will define what comes nextThe episode closes with four priorities: local expertise and credibility, authentic collaboration, a whole-value-chain perspective and stronger demand from asset owners for focused policy engagement.Chapters:00:00 – Asia-Pacific: from policy frameworks to implementation03:15 – Four megatrends shaping investor risk and opportunity06:34 – Linking financial-sector policy with the real economy08:55 – How large investors decide where and how to engage14:37 – Why investors are not passive policy takers16:52 – Asset-owner expectations and measuring policy engagement21:18 – Client interests, universal ownership and system-level risks23:10 – Connecting company stewardship with policy reform25:47 – The roles investors should play in policy engagement29:15 – Credibility, collaboration and the future of policy engagementDisclaimer:This podcast and material referenced herein is provided for information only.

In this episode, Sathiya sits down with Seth Gruber, founder of the White Rose Resistance, to explore the deeper spiritual and cultural issues behind abortion, pornography, sexual addiction, and the degradation of human dignity. Drawing from Scripture's concept of the “high places,” Seth explains how idolatry, sexual perversion, and child sacrifice are connected to the cultural battles facing the church today. Together, they examine how the abortion and pornography industries can reduce human life and sexuality to commodities, why the church must be willing to confront these issues rather than remain silent, and how spiritual compromise contributes to cultural decay. Seth also shares his personal journey from being a homeschooled teenager in Los Angeles who faced censorship for wanting to discuss abortion to becoming a pro-life activist, filmmaker, and advocate committed to challenging the church to live out its biblical convictions. This conversation offers a sobering look at the spiritual battles shaping modern culture and a call for Christians to respond with courage, truth, and conviction. SATHIYA'S RESOURCES: Free Recovery Book (The Last Relapse) Join the brotherhood (DeepClean Inner Circle) Live Training To Quit Porn For Good SETH'S RESOURCES: The White Rose Resistance The Last Stand book Timestamps: 00:02 Introduction to the episode's focus: freedom from pornography, abortion, human rights, and cultural sexuality. Host introduces the guest, Seth Gruber, setting the tone for a deep, challenging conversation. 02:39 Seth's personal story begins; his exposure to graphic first-trimester abortion images and the impact this had on his understanding of abortion beyond common perceptions. 07:58 Discussion on the church's failing role in confronting evil such as pornography and abortion, emphasizing how many Christians have forgotten their mission and sometimes unknowingly enable societal decay. 09:56 Explanation of the “high places” from the Old Testament where idolatry, sexual ritual abuse, and child sacrifice occurred, paralleled with modern cultural evils. 12:46 The legacy of “good kings” in Israel who failed to remove the high places, leaving a metaphor for today's church tolerating sexual immorality and abortion. 15:11 Linking contemporary evils: pornography, abortion, sex trafficking, and the commodification of children through reproductive technologies, highlighting systemic cultural problems. 19:23 Theological reflection on divine judgment connected to baby killing and sexual perversion, citing Psalm 106 and God's severe response to such societal sins. 24:20 Historical turning point in 1973 with Roe v. Wade legalizing abortion nationwide, alongside the removal of obscenity laws enabling pornography; Seth ties these to a spiritual “demonic trinity” of Moloch, Baal, and Ashtoreth. 25:04 Presentation of J.D. Unwin's research, showing how civilizations that codify total sexual freedom collapse within a century, framing modern Western culture's trajectory as potentially doomed. 50:07 Practical exhortation encouraging men to battle personal sin first—especially pornography addiction—and then join cultural resistance movements. Seth stresses accountability, spiritual battle, and community activism as necessary steps.

Why do people stop listening before you get to your point? People stop listening when your message is built around what you know instead of what they value. The room tuning out is the symptom; the real question is whether the people deciding your next move can see the value you bring. See where you stand: https://masteryinsights.com/mentorship-pc What are the five public speaking tips for executives? The five public speaking tips for executives are a sequence for winning buy-in from senior audiences rather than losing them to detail: understand your role, understand your audience as peers, unveil your content as principles, unite your intention with their attention, and uncover your value. Understanding your role means identifying the real problem you are solving for the organization, which sets the purpose of the communication and decides what to include and what to leave out. Understanding your audience as peers removes the intimidation that makes a relationship inequitable, so you can build the right message to match the audience. Unveiling content as principles gives senior leaders the reasoning behind a strategy rather than the tactics, uniting your intention with their attention links your message to what they value most, and uncovering your value activates them, which is the foundation of influence. Key Concepts Understand your role as a public speaker: Identifying the real problem you are solving for the organization, which sets the purpose of the communication and decides what to include and what to leave out. Understand your audience as peers: Treating senior stakeholders as equals to remove the intimidation that makes a relationship inequitable, which is what lets you build the right message to match the audience. Unveil your content as principles: Communicating the truths behind why a strategy works, because senior leaders decide on strategic direction and cannot evaluate it without the principles underneath it. Unite your intention with their attention: Linking your message to what the audience values most, because people pay attention to what aligns with their highest values. Uncover your value: Revealing the value of your offer after raising the audience's desire, which activates them and forms the foundation of influence. Which of the five, your role, your audience, your principles, their attention, or your value, was your last boardroom presentation missing?

A new study by the University of Auckland has discovered a link between vaping and an increased risk for death in infants. The research found vaping shows similar risks as smoking, particularly when combined with sharing a bed with an infant. Auckland University researcher Ed Mitchell says nicotine can make the baby more vulnerable during pregnancy and beyond - putting the infant at risk of not waking up when stressed.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION In this episode, I sit down with Baron, a 20-year veteran of the oil and gas industry who started his career as a trader at Petronas and has spent decades working across crude oil, fuel oil, refined petroleum products, and derivatives. Baron is writing a book called The Litro Standard, and his thesis is fascinating: instead of anchoring money to gold or the US dollar, we should be anchoring digital finance to verified energy. We dig into how the current commodity settlement system is broken , why it takes 90 days to get paid for oil you sold today, why buyers never actually know the price they'll pay, and how tokenizing energy could compress that into an instant. We also get into the real-world oil market dynamics most people miss: why the Brent crude price hasn't exploded despite the Strait of Hormuz crisis, why China is the single biggest factor keeping oil below $100, and what would actually need to happen for oil to hit $130. This is one of those conversations where I genuinely felt like I was downloading years of insider knowledge in under an hour.

Linking digital money to verified, audited energy , crude oil, natural gas, electricity , as collateral for settlement and trade• [05:17] Key benefits: energy-producing nations can anchor their currency to an asset they control, reducing dependence on the dollar• [08:20] How tokenizing oil in the ground works , buyers get direct access to producers, cutting out intermediaries• [10:13] The 90-day settlement problem: sell oil today, get paid in October , and the invoice price is not the price you agreed on• [13:52] The Strait of Hormuz problem and how the Litro Standard's location swap mechanism could reroute cargo through pooled reserves• [16:38] What is broken in today's financial system: trust is slow, costly, and politically fragile; Swift and correspondent banking have become geopolitical chokepoints• [20:20] The historical lesson people miss , monetary systems follow infrastructure revolutions, not the other way around• [25:35] Who really controls the oil price today: 80% is determined by financial markets and speculators, not producers• [27:01] Common misconceptions about the oil market , it is not as opaque or elite as people think, and refineries sometimes run at a loss just to keep operating• [30:43] Why Brent crude is still around $80 despite the Strait of Hormuz crisis , China's strategic reserve, alternative routes, and the $100 demand destruction threshold• [33:04] China as the buyer of last resort and how ADNOC leaving OPEC and joining the Shanghai Energy Exchange is reshaping price benchmarks• [38:33] Baron's boldest prediction: the next monetary revolution will not begin in central banks , it will begin in commodity markets, transaction by transaction• [40:27] Baron's ask: read the book, question assumptions, and join the conversation about the convergence of energy, technology, and money

Some new research out of Harvard University caught our eye .. it's found a connection between women finding love and a job .. if they are slimmer. The study compared the marriage and employment rates of women on GLP-1 drugs, like Wegovy, to a control group of women who wanted to take the drugs but hadn't yet started. Around 18,000 New Zealanders are taking Wegovy after prescriptions became available in New Zealand last year.

Send us Fan MailIn this small prospective pilot study, Adrianne and Nim explore a domain rarely discussed on rounds, how a mother's cardiovascular function in preeclampsia shapes her newborn's circulatory transition. Using maternal echo and neonatal electrical cardiometry across 13 mother-baby dyads, the authors found an inverse relationship: the worse the mother's cardiac function, the higher the neonate's cardiac output, though vascular tone barely budged. It's a compelling hypothesis about placental strain and fetal adaptation. But Nim pushes back hard on the methodology, pairing this paper with a companion study showing electrical cardiometry consistently overestimates cardiac output in neonates, and questioning why daily echoes were performed on these babies but the results never reported.----Linking maternal and neonatal circulation in preeclampsia.

Empowered Relationship Podcast: Your Relationship Resource And Guide
Ever wonder why certain conflicts keep resurfacing in your relationships, or why you wake from a vivid dream feeling shaken without understanding why? Sometimes, the real roots of our struggles with loved ones aren't just out in the open—they're buried in the deeper layers of our own subconscious. When we ignore these internal signals, challenges can feel insurmountable, and solutions remain out of reach. In this episode, listeners will explore how dreams and moments of inner reflection can act as a mirror, revealing hidden emotions and unresolved patterns that shape the way we connect with others. By diving into the interplay between our inner world and our daily lives, practical techniques are shared to help harness the wisdom of dreams and self-inquiry—so relationships can become more creative, connected, and resilient in the face of recurring challenges. Bonnie Buckner, PhD, is founder and CEO of the International Institute for Dreaming and Imagery®, author of THE SECRET MIND, and Program Lead for George Washington University's One Humanity Leadership Coaching Certification Program, where she uses dreaming and imagery work to develop coaches. Episode Highlights 04:37 How nighttime reflections illuminate daily life and relationships. 08:52 Emotional processing: Recalibrating through dreams. 11:39 Dreams as personal mirrors: Identifying patterns and insights. 14:06 Creativity, imagination, and the value of contemplative states. 16:25 Applying dreamwork principles to relationship challenges. 19:31 Inner conflict, projection, and energetic shifts in relationships. 24:05 Linking inner awareness to relationship dynamics. 28:53 The essentials of effective dream journaling. 30:58 Benefits of detailed dream recall and handwriting practices. 35:11 Shifting relationship patterns through dream awareness. 39:45 Perspective-taking and empathy through dream-inspired creativity. 42:31 Navigating mystery and uncertainty in relationship communication. 48:18 Best practices for couples exploring dreams together. Your Checklist of Actions to Take Record Your Dreams: Write down your dreams in detail as soon as you wake up, resisting the urge to edit or judge the content. Reflect Without Editing: Practice non-editing and non-judging by documenting all aspects of your dream, including emotions, images, and phrases, to foster honest self-inquiry. Identify Emotional Themes: Look for recurring emotions or patterns in your dreams, such as anger or anxiety, which may point to unresolved inner conflicts. Apply Dream Insights to Waking Life: If you notice yourself using strong language (e.g., "nightmare boss") in daily life, pause to examine your emotional response and recalibrate internally. Practice Waking Dream Exercises: Revisit challenging dream scenarios while awake, imagining new responses—like facing a monster instead of running—to shift internal dynamics. Acknowledge All Facets of Self: Recognize that different dream symbols represent multiple aspects of yourself, helping you better understand your reactions and behaviors. Share Dreams Mindfully With Partners: When discussing dreams with your partner, speak from your own perspective (e.g., "If it were my dream...") and avoid interpreting their experience as fact. Embrace Curiosity and Mystery: Approach both your dreams and your partner with openness to not knowing, allowing for shared exploration and growth even through uncertainty.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Paul Kaplan, economist, CFA charterholder, former Director of Research at Morningstar Canada, and co-author of Lifetime Financial Advice, for a fascinating exploration of life cycle finance. Drawing on decades of research in economics, portfolio construction, and asset allocation, Paul explains how financial planning should be grounded in optimizing lifetime consumption rather than relying on disconnected rules of thumb. We explore how life cycle finance integrates consumption, saving, investing, and retirement spending into a single framework, why risk tolerance and risk capacity are fundamentally different concepts, and how human capital should be treated as part of an investor's balance sheet. Paul also walks through the life cycle model he and Tom Idzorek developed, explains why traditional retirement rules like the 4% rule lack theoretical foundations, and demonstrates an open-source spreadsheet that allows anyone to experiment with the model for themselves. This conversation brings together economics, portfolio theory, and financial planning into a practical framework for making better lifetime financial decisions.

The lore of the games from Remedy and how the two series Alan Wake and Control are linked is the topic of this week's Lore Watch Podcast. Both games are about events that shift from what the main characters know to be true, into something which couldn't possibly be true, if what they already knew to be true was real. Both games have a sense of wrongness and eerieness — Alan Wake's is more weird, like Twin Peaks, while Control's veers into horror.Joe and Matt unpack the plots of both series as individual works, and then delve into the mysteries and themes that connect them.

Dr. Rick and Forrest continue last week's conversation on avoidance coping, this time focusing on how to move from insight into meaningful action. They explore why self-awareness often isn't enough to create change, focusing on common impediments like ambivalence, shame, and the difficulty of seeing our patterns in real time. They then unpack the practical science of change: surfacing predictions behind avoidance, testing them through right-sized experiments, and fully internalizing the outcomes. Other topics include scaffolding, state-dependent learning, the HEAL process, and what to do when the dreaded experience actually happens.

The hosts discuss a controversial new study from Utah State University professor Lauren Van De Hey, highlighting how Gen Z and young liberals are integrating a "mental health illness identity" into their core political views. The segment criticizes corporate workplace mental health days and overdiagnoses, arguing that standard life struggles are being weaponized by left-wing groups to foster anti-capitalist resentment against billionaires. Linking this ideological shift directly to real-world violence, the hosts break down the newly foiled UFC Freedom 250 White House drone-and-sniper plot—which was stopped after a suspect's mother tipped off the FBI—and emphasize the need to turn out the conservative vote for Alan Wilson in South Carolina to break the establishment political machine.

Success requires progress on five files: the Strait, nuclear program, ballistic missiles, proxies, and human rights. Some Gulf autocracies may prefer a weakened Iran over a successful democratic regime change that could threaten their own prestige. Edmund Fitton Brown (16)1680
The latest episode of Tin Foil Hat with Matt LaCroix follows a global investigation that begins with the ancient city of Shuruppak and the flood hero Ziusudra, leading into fieldwork around Turkey's Lake Van region. What starts as a local discovery expands across continents, revealing a recurring "code" of shared symbols and architectural patterns found from submerged ruins near Ayanis to sites in South America and ultimately the Giza Plateau in Egypt. The episode explores the idea that these connections may reflect a unified cosmogram or architectural language, pointing to a sophisticated lost civilization.
