Destructive attacks on Palestinian communities by West Bank settlers “emboldened” by support from powerful far right-wing figures in the Netanyahu government have received little attention as the country has focused on the war in Gaza and the recent clash with Iran. Last week, dozens of settlers descended upon Kafr Malik, a Palestinian town north of Ramallah, attacking residents and their property, as well as IDF soldiers who arrived at the scene. The outpost – illegal even under Israeli law – was dismantled by the Israeli army later that night, triggering multiple riots at a nearby army base and police station. The settlers’ attacks on Israeli soldiers sparked widespread public outrage and even condemnation from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz. Haaretz West Bank correspondent Hagar Shezaf joined host Allison Kaplan Sommer this week for a behind-the-scenes look at the ongoing tension and the “Jewish terrorists” so dedicated to driving Palestinians off of their land that they are willing to attack IDF soldiers when they stand in their way. Noting that Israelis generally “support the soldiers over the settlers,” she shared insights about the evolving political climate toward violent extremists in the West Bank. “I think in settler society – and to an extent, broader Israeli society, it has become much, much, much more normalized post October 7 – the sense that these people are guarding the land.” Attacks on IDF soldiers, she said, are “obviously always controversial in Israeli society – but attacking Palestinians? Not so controversial anymore.” Subscribe to Haaretz.com for up-to-the-minute news and analysis from Israel and the Middle East in English.

Premier Li Qiang said on Wednesday that in the face of global challenges, countries around the world should make the economic "pie" bigger through open and win-win cooperation rather than playingzero-sum games or following the law of the jungle.中国国家总理李强周三表示,面对全球性挑战,世界各国应通过开放共赢的合作,做大经济“蛋糕”,而不是玩零和游戏或遵循丛林法则Li made the remarks in an address delivered at the opening of the World Economic Forum's 16th Annual Meeting of the New Champions, also known as the Summer Davos, in Tianjin.李在天津举行的世界经济论坛第16届新领军者年会(又称夏季达沃斯)开幕式上发表讲话。He said that the global economic and trade landscape is undergoing profound changes, driven by factors such as geopolitics, technological innovation and structural shifts.Li called on the international community to take constructive actions in carrying out international economic and trade cooperation.他说,在地缘政治、技术创新和结构性转变等因素的推动下,全球经贸格局正在发生深刻变化。李呼吁国际社会采取建设性行动,开展国际经贸合作。"Constructive actions mean we need to proactively take more practical measures to safeguard free trade and multilateralism and promote the stable development of the world economy," Li said.李说:“建设性行动意味着我们需要积极采取更多切实可行的措施,维护自由贸易和多边主义,促进世界经济的稳定发展。”Noting that it is normal for disputes and differences to arise in economic and trade exchanges among countries, the premier said that as long as countries engage in dialogue and consultation based on mutual respect, solutions can always be found.总理指出,国家间经贸交流中出现争端和分歧是正常的,只要各国在相互尊重的基础上进行对话和协商,总能找到解决方案。"We need to strengthen macroeconomic policy coordination and ensure the stability and smooth functioning of global industrial and supply chains. Closer cooperation will help enhance the security and resilience of development for all countries," he added.他补充道:“我们需要加强宏观经济政策协调,确保全球产业链和供应链的稳定和顺利运行。更紧密的合作将有助于提高各国发展的安全性和韧性。”Saying that China is confident in and capable of maintaining rapid economic growth, Li expressed the country's commitment to do whatever it can to help tackle the difficulties and challenges facing the global economy.李说,中国有信心也有能力保持经济快速增长,中国承诺将尽一切努力帮助应对全球经济面临的困难和挑战。Over the years, no matter how the international environment has changed, China's economy has consistently maintained good momentum, Li said.李说,多年来,无论国际环境如何变化,中国经济始终保持良好势头。He noted that China's gross domestic product grew 5.4 percent year-on-year in the first quarter of 2025, despite facing significantly heightened external shocks this year.他指出,尽管今年面临着显著加剧的外部冲击,但中国2025年第一季度国内生产总值同比增长5.4%。"Key economic indicators continued to improve in the second quarter, and I noticed that international institutions have recently raised their expectations for China's economic growth," he said. "China's economic development is not about short-term spurts, but sustained progress toward long-term goals."他说:“关键经济指标在第二季度继续改善,我注意到国际机构最近提高了对中国经济增长的预期。”“中国的经济发展不是短期的爆发,而是朝着长期目标的持续进步。”He pledged that China's market will continue to expand in size and improve in quality, saying that this will create new room for growth and help reverse the downturn in the global economy.他承诺,中国市场将继续扩大规模,提高质量,这将为增长创造新的空间,并有助于扭转全球经济的衰退。China is moving toward becoming a high-income country as a whole, as the demand for consumption upgrade is robust in the world's second-largest consumption market, he said.他说,随着世界第二大消费市场对消费升级的需求强劲,中国整体上正在向高收入国家迈进。The country is striving to develop itself into a mega-sized consumption powerhouse on top of being a manufacturing powerhouse, which, the premier said, will create vast new market opportunities for businesses around the world.总理表示,中国正在努力发展成为制造业强国之外的大型消费强国,这将为世界各地的企业创造巨大的新市场机会。Noting that China's tech innovation has an open-source feature, the premier said the country is willing to share its original technologies and innovative scenarios with the world.总理指出,中国的技术创新具有开源特征,并表示中国愿意与世界分享其原创技术和创新方案。He reiterated the country's commitment to fostering a first-class, market-oriented business environment governed by a sound legal framework, saying it always keeps its doors wide open and warmly welcomes businesses from all countries to invest in China and grow with China.他重申,中国致力于在健全的法律框架下营造一流的、以市场为导向的营商环境,始终敞开大门,热烈欢迎各国企业来华投资,与中国共同发展。Featuring the theme "Entrepreneurship for a New Era", the event, held from Tuesday to Thursday, has gathered over 1,700 leading figures from more than 90 countries and regions to explore how entrepreneurship and emerging technologies can unlock more dynamic and resilient economies.该活动以“新时代创业”为主题,于周二至周四举行,汇集了来自90多个国家和地区的1700多名领军人物,探讨创业和新兴技术如何释放更具活力和弹性的经济。While chairing the event, World Economic Forum President Borge Brende called for international cooperation to address global challenges, and expressed an optimistic outlook on China's economic prospects.世界经济论坛主席博格·布伦德在主持活动时呼吁国际合作应对全球挑战,并对中国经济前景表示乐观。Brende said that the challenges the world faces today—from the development of artificial intelligence to supply chain stability, and from green transition to the skills for the future—require countries to "move from competition to cooperation, from fragmentation to collaboration".Brende说,当今世界面临的挑战——从人工智能的发展到供应链的稳定,从绿色转型到未来的技能——要求各国“从竞争转向合作,从碎片化转向协作”。"China has long been a vital partner in this regard. Its entrepreneurial ecosystem, particularly in areas like artificial intelligence, the digital economy, advanced manufacturing, green innovation and others, continues to be a powerful driver of global growth," he said.Brende说,当今世界面临的挑战——从人工智能的发展到供应链的稳定,从绿色转型到未来的技能——要求各国“从竞争转向合作,从碎片化转向协作”。On Wednesday afternoon, Li held a symposium with representatives of the global business community attending the Summer Davos in Tianjin.周三下午,李在天津与出席夏季达沃斯论坛的全球工商界代表举行座谈会。Li assured the business executives that China is committed to providing a stable development environment and a predictable policy environment for enterprises, and encouraged foreign companies to develop technological cooperation and collaborative innovation in China.李向企业高层保证,中国致力于为企业提供稳定的发展环境和可预测的政策环境,并鼓励外国公司在中国开展技术合作和协同创新。Speaking at the meeting, Dave West, president for the Asia-Pacific, Japan and Greater China of Cisco, a worldwide technology leader in the United States, expressed his confidence about development prospects in China and his hope for a stable relationship between the US and China.美国全球技术领导者思科亚太、日本和大中华区总裁戴夫·韦斯特在会上表示,他对中国的发展前景充满信心,希望美中关系稳定。"We are confident that the Chinese market will continue to create significant and exciting opportunities as the country advances toward its high-quality development goals," West said. "I believe the global economy will be stronger with the US and China working together. And the stable US-China relations will bring mutual benefit, not just to our two countries."韦斯特说:“我们相信,随着中国向高质量发展目标迈进,中国市场将继续创造重大而令人兴奋的机遇。”。“我相信,随着美中两国的共同努力,全球经济将更加强大。稳定的美中关系将带来互利共赢,而不仅仅是我们两国。”Michael Gelchie, CEO of Louis Dreyfus Co, a leading merchant and processor of agricultural goods from the Netherlands, said that his company continues to be bullish about the Chinese market and looks forward to injecting fresh growth momentum into global agricultural trade.荷兰领先的农产品贸易商和加工商Louis Dreyfus Co的首席执行官Michael Gelchie表示,他的公司继续看好中国市场,并期待为全球农产品贸易注入新的增长动力。"Amid the complex challenges facing the world, China's role as a stabilizing force is more critical than ever," he said.他说:“在世界面临的复杂挑战中,中国作为稳定力量的作用比以往任何时候都更加关键。”。geopoliticsn.地缘政治short-term spurtsn.短期冲刺
Noting the important moments in life.
President Xi Jinping returned to Beijing on Wednesday after attending the second China-Central Asia Summit, which had outcomes that officials and experts said would give stronger momentum to China-Central Asia cooperation and help the Eurasian heartland become a vast oasis of peace, harmony and development in a turbulent world.In less than 48 hours in Astana, Kazakhstan, Xi attended more than 10 bilateral and multilateral events, during which he renewed traditional friendship, discussed ways of promoting cooperation, and drew the blueprint for development with the heads of state of the five Central Asian countries — Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.In the Astana Declaration of the second China-Central Asia Summit, leaders of the six countries pledged continuous efforts to strengthen friendly relations, deepen political mutual trust, and expand economic cooperation for the future of the region, as the world faces heightened turbulence and volatility."No matter how the international situation changes, China will remain unwavering in opening up to the outside world, and embrace higher-quality cooperation with Central Asian countries to deepen the integration of interests and achieve common development," Xi said on Tuesday when addressing the summit, the second of its kind. The first was held in China's northwestern city of Xi'an in 2023.The summit also announced the signing of 12 cooperation agreements regarding Belt and Road cooperation, facilitation of personnel exchanges, green minerals, trade, connectivity, industry and customs.Noting that countries now face the common task of ensuring sustainable progress amid growing global uncertainty, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said he believes that the China-Central Asia mechanism will become a model of innovative strategic partnership for shared prosperity, common security and inclusive development.Xi's trip to Kazakhstan marked his third consecutive visit to neighboring countries since China held the Central Conference on Work Related to Neighboring Countries in April.Speaking at a news briefing in Astana upon the conclusion of the tour on Tuesday night, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that a highlight of the trip was Xi's announcement that China and Central Asian countries have explored and formed the China-Central Asia Spirit, which features mutual respect, mutual trust, mutual benefit, mutual assistance and the pursuit of common modernization through high-quality development."China never seeks modernization in isolation but is committed to joint development and win-win cooperation with other countries. Through high-quality development and high-level opening-up, China aims to bring more development opportunities to countries worldwide, including those in Central Asia, and to work together with all nations to forge a broad path toward common modernization," Wang said.The signing of the treaty of permanent good-neighborliness and friendly cooperation was the most significant innovation of the summit, said Wang, as it "sets a new milestone in the history of relations among the six countries"."This will lay a solid foundation for the long-term and steady development of relations between China and Central Asian countries," Wang added.Sun Weidong, secretary-general of the Secretariat of the China-Central Asia Mechanism, told reporters after the summit that leaders of the six countries recognize the strategic significance of the region and the importance of further deepening multilateral cooperation based on the principles of equality, mutual respect and mutual benefit."In Astana, the heads of state comprehensively summarized the significant achievements of the China-Central Asia mechanism since the first summit and made a new top-level design for the development of China-Central Asia relations, pointing out the new direction for all-around cooperation between China and Central Asia," Sun said.Since the first summit in 2023, trade between China and Central Asian countries has surged 35 percent, reaching a historic high of nearly $100 billion last year.The joint declaration issued on Tuesday also outlines the six priority directions for China-Central Asia cooperation: unimpeded trade, industrial investment, connectivity, green minerals, agricultural modernization, and facilitation of personnel exchanges.The political will of the leaders of China and Central Asian countries to promote sustainable development and deepen the China-Central Asia cooperation mechanism plays a key role, said Sheradil Baktygulov, director of the Institute of World Policy of Kyrgyzstan.The leaders' participation in the summit reflects mutual respect and a shared commitment to deepening the China-Central Asia partnership, Baktygulov told Xinhua News Agency.It enables them to align on key issues, strengthen mutual trust, and forge a coordinated approach to regional security and development, he added.
China and the five Central Asian countries signed a treaty of permanent good-neighborliness and friendly cooperation on Tuesday, enshrining the principle of everlasting friendship across generations in the legal form. President Xi Jinping signed the document with leaders of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, where they gathered for the second China-Central Asia Summit. Addressing the summit, Xi said that China-Central Asia cooperation is rooted in more than 2,000 years of friendly exchanges, cemented by solidarity and mutual trust, cultivated through more than three decades of diplomatic ties, and taken forward through openness and win-win cooperation of the new era. As the world has entered a new period of turbulence and transformation, Xi said a strong belief in fairness and justice and an unyielding commitment to mutual benefit and win-win cooperation are the only ways to maintain global peace and achieve common development. "There is no winner in tariff wars or trade wars. Unilateralism, protectionism and hegemonism will surely backfire while hurting others," he said."I always maintain that history should move forward, not backward; and the world should be united, not divided. Humanity must not regress to the law of the jungle. Instead, we should build a community with a shared future for mankind," he added. Xi emphasized that building on the collective efforts over the years, the nations have forged a China-Central Asia Spirit of "mutual respect, mutual trust, mutual benefit and mutual assistance for the joint pursuit of modernization through high-quality development". He called for carrying forward the China-Central Asia Spirit, enhancing cooperation with renewed vigor and more practical measures, promoting high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative, and forging ahead toward the goal of a community with a shared future for the region."China consistently takes Central Asia as a priority in its neighborhood diplomacy. With a firm belief in an amicable, secure and prosperous neighborhood as well as a strong dedication to amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness, China interacts with Central Asian countries on the basis of equality and sincerity," he said. Xi highlighted the need to optimize the China-Central Asia cooperation framework to make it more results-oriented, more efficient and more deeply integrated, with collaboration focused on smooth trade, industrial investment, connectivity, green minerals, agricultural modernization and personnel exchanges. In order to promote relevant cooperation, China will provide a grant of 1.5 billion yuan ($209 million) to Central Asian countries this year to be used in livelihood and development projects high on their agenda, he said, adding that China will also provide 3,000 training opportunities to Central Asian countries over the next two years. Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov, Tajik President Emomali Rahmon, Turkmen President Serdar Berdimuhamedov and Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev attended the summit. They commended the China-Central Asia mechanism as an important platform for promoting dialogue and cooperation between the two sides and driving economic and social development in Central Asian countries. In a world full of uncertainties, the strategic significance of the China-Central Asia cooperation mechanism is becoming more prominent, as China's prosperity and strength are benefiting neighboring countries, they said. Noting that China is a strategic partner and a true friend that Central Asian countries can rely on permanently, the leaders said they look forward to close and all-around cooperation with China to make the China-Central Asia mechanism a model of regional cooperation. They pledged to closely coordinate and cooperate with China, firmly uphold the principles of free trade and the multilateral trading system, and jointly safeguard international fairness and justice.The leaders of China and Central Asian countries signed the Astana Declaration of the second China-Central Asia Summit. They also witnessed the launch of three cooperation centers on poverty reduction, education exchange and desertification prevention and control, as well as a cooperation platform on smooth trade under the China-Central Asia cooperation framework. It was decided at the summit that China will host the third China-Central Asia Summit in 2027.

Postmodern Patrimonialism. That's the term Brookings Institution scholar Jonathan Rauch uses to describe Trump's second presidency, arguing it represents a 21st century model of running government as if it's his own personal property. Rauch describes Trump 2's "everything everywhere all at once" strategy as a venture capital-like approach: launching numerous initiatives simultaneously to overwhelm opposition, expecting some to succeed while recognizing that others will fail. Noting that this strategy has slowed since March due to court challenges and declining approval ratings, Rauch discusses the institutional breakdown of Congress, the emergence of Gavin Newsom as the apex of the resistance to Trump 2, and identifies Stephen Miller and Russell Vought as key strategic masterminds behind the administration's coordinated assault on universities, law firms, and democratic norms. Five Key Takeaways * Patrimonialism, Not Fascism: Rauch has shifted from describing Trump as fascist to "patrimonial"—running government as personal property and family business. This model is less organized than fascism but equally corrosive to democratic institutions.* "Everything Everywhere All at Once" Strategy: Trump's administration deliberately overwhelms opposition by launching simultaneous attacks on multiple fronts (universities, law firms, agencies, individuals), making coordinated resistance nearly impossible.* Congressional Institutional Collapse: America has effectively moved from a three-branch to two-branch government, with Congress absent as a check on executive power—a more fundamental threat than Trump himself.* Democratic Governors as Resistance Leaders: Figures like Gavin Newsom are emerging as the most effective opposition voices, using states' rights to challenge federal overreach in ways Congress cannot.* Miller and Vought as Strategic Masterminds: Stephen Miller (immigration/security) and Russell Vought (domestic policy/OMB) are identified as the key architects behind the administration's coordinated assault on democratic institutions.Jonathan Rauch is a senior fellow in the Governance Studies program at the Brookings Institution and the author of eight books and many articles on public policy, culture, and government. He is a contributing writer of The Atlantic and recipient of the 2005 National Magazine Award, the magazine industry's equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. His many Brookings publications include the 2021 book “The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth”, as well as the 2015 ebook “Political Realism: How Hacks, Machines, Big Money, and Back-Room Deals Can Strengthen American Democracy.” Other books include “The Happiness Curve: Why Life Gets Better after 50” (2018) and “Gay Marriage: Why It Is Good for Gays, Good for Straights, and Good for America” (2004). He has also authored research on political parties, marijuana legalization, LGBT rights and religious liberty, and more.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

Sleep expert Dr. Aric Prather joins Matt today for a fascinating discussion about insomnia's frustrating reality: trying to force sleep backfires; sleep arrives naturally. Dr. Prather highlights a surprising starting point: forget focusing on bedtime, prioritize a consistent wake-up time, even weekends. Noting that this anchors your internal clock and builds essential sleep pressure (the 'balloon'), he also cautions that sleeping in after a bad night disrupts this cycle. After touching on societal factors impacting sleep, the conversation shifts to managing the mental side—the stress and anxiety creating that 'tired but wired' state. Dr. Prather shares practical techniques: daytime micro-breaks, breathing exercises, and scheduling worry time to keep thoughts from hijacking the night. Listeners learn how the bedroom can become a trigger for wakefulness and how stimulus control (getting out of bed when not sleeping) breaks that association. Finally, they cover Time-in-Bed Restriction: deliberately spending less time in bed can paradoxically consolidate sleep by intensifying sleep drive, building confidence. This episode offers tools not for nightly success, but for improving sleep on average and reducing panic over occasional bad nights.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.One of our sponsors this week is the biochemical electrolyte drink company LMNT, and they are very kindly offering eight free sample packs when you purchase any one of their orders at drinklmnt.com/mattwalker.

Tehillim 132: קומה ה' למנוחתך (conclusion), by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom When was Psalm 132 composed - and why? In this conclusion of a two-part shiur, we examine the longest of the שירי המעלה - Psalm 132. This psalm, evidently devoted to the city of Yerushalayim and the Divine choice of both the place and the Davidic line, is especially appropriate as we prepare to celebrate the 58th anniversary of the reunification of Yerushalayim under Jewish sovereignty. Noting that the psalm speaks in different voices, we note numerous related texts in Tanakh that may have either been inspired by, or been the inspiration for our psalm. קומה ה' למנוחתך, אתה וארון עוזך. And, indeed, may we soon see a fulfillment of the promise ואויביו אלביש בשת, ועליו יציץ נזרו.

Brother Cod, in his good pleasure, wants to feed his children today." Sharing an anecdote about children staying over and the joy of providing for them. The Holy Ghost likes to provide spiritual nourishment. "The Holy Ghost likes to wrestle up grub for me. I'm glad for him that he cares for my soul. He loves it when I'm hungry for the Word of God.
Tehillim 132: קומה ה' למנוחתך, by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom What was the occasion that motivated the composition of Psalm 132? A special shiur as we prepare for Yom Yerushalayim. In this first part of a two-part shiur, we examine the longest of the שירי המעלה - Psalm 132.

On this episode of Plain Talk, Sen. Josh Boschee, a Democrat from Fargo, characterized the just-completed legislative session as marked by crucial victories but also "too many missed opportunities" and numerous "close calls on bad Republican bills." He emphasized how Republicans and Democrats worked together to achieve both. Among the victories? Passing Gov. Kelly Armstrong's property tax plan, which implements $1,600 primary residence property tax credits and 3% caps on growth in property tax bills. Noting his day job in real estate, Boschee extolled "how much this is going to help make housing more affordable throughout our state." He highlighted that the reform could potentially "completely wipe out" property taxes for lower-priced or rural homes or those in smaller communities, allowing residents to invest that money in home repairs, buy a larger home, or open up more affordable housing stock for others. And the bad bills? Boschee said those included "book bans, what teachers are teaching in the classroom, which bathrooms people are using," and issues related to "abortion and gay marriage." Most of those initiatives failed, and Boschee said that's because "a faction of the Republican party worked with Democrats to defeat a lot of those bills." Boschee also praised former Rep. Cynthia Schreiber Beck, who passed away recently. She was someone who "got things done for Richland County or District 25," he said. "Someone that we could all depend on and trust" and who "told you like it was." "If she wasn't going to support your idea, you knew it," he said, but if she liked your idea, she "would work with you to make it better or to get it across the finish line." Also on this episode, co-host Chad Oban and I discuss the impact the property tax cap may have on the ways North Dakota communities develop, and how the state's new ban on cell phones in schools will play out. This episode is presented by Lignite Energy Council, an organization dedicated to protecting and enhancing the development of North Dakota's abundant lignite resouces.

China's emphasis on accelerating the development of the digital economy and advancing the concept of "Digital China" will give the country a competitive edge in strategic emerging sectors and safeguard global security, said officials and experts.官员和专家表示,中国强调加快发展数字经济,推进“数字中国”建设,将增强中国在战略性新兴领域的竞争优势,维护全球安全。Emphasizing that the boom of cutting-edge digital technologies has emerged as a new engine driving China's economic growth, they called for heightened efforts to push forward the construction of digital infrastructure, bolster the deeper integration of the real and digital economies, and promote technological innovation and the application of rapidly evolving artificial intelligence in a wider range of sectors.他们强调,尖端数字技术蓬勃发展,已成为中国经济增长的新引擎,并呼吁加大力度推进数字基础设施建设,促进实体经济和数字经济深度融合,推动技术创新和快速发展的人工智能在更广泛领域的应用。When delivering a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the Second World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, Zhejiang province, in December 2015, President Xi Jinping said that China is implementing the "Internet Plus" action plan and advancing the building of a "Digital China".2015年12月,习近平主席在浙江乌镇举行的第二届世界互联网大会开幕式上发表主旨演讲时表示,中国正在实施“互联网+”行动计划,推进“数字中国”建设。In a congratulatory letter sent to the first Digital China Summit, which opened in April 2018 in Fuzhou, Fujian province, Xi called for fostering new driving forces through informatization, in order to promote new development and make new achievements.2018年4月,首届数字中国建设峰会在福建福州开幕,习近平主席向峰会致贺信。他强调,要通过信息化培育新动能,推动新发展、取得新成就。He emphasized that digitalization, networking and the application of intelligent technologies, which have been greatly developed, are playing increasingly important roles in promoting social and economic development, modernizing China's governance capacity, and meeting the people's ever-growing needs for a better life.他强调,数字化、网络化、智能化技术应用水平显著提升,在促进经济社会发展、推进国家治理能力现代化、满足人民日益增长的美好生活需要方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。This year marks the 10th anniversary of the nation's efforts to construct a "Digital China". China's digital economy has gained strong momentum in recent years, with remarkable achievements made in fields such as artificial intelligence, integrated circuits, industrial software and basic software.今年是“数字中国建设”十周年。近年来,中国数字经济发展势头强劲,人工智能、集成电路、工业软件、基础软件等领域取得了令人瞩目的成就。The added value of core industries of the digital economy accounted for about 10 percent of GDP in 2024, while the total data output reached 41.06 zettabytes, marking a robust 25 percent year-on-year increase, according to the "Digital China Development Report 2024" released by the National Data Administration.根据国家数据局发布的《数字中国发展报告(2024年)》,到2024年,数字经济核心产业增加值占GDP比重将达到10%左右,数据总输出量将达到41.06泽字节,同比增长25%。The report said the total scale of China's computing power reached 280 EFLOPS last year. EFLOPS is a unit of the speed of computer systems and is equal to 1 quintillion floating-point operations per second. Furthermore, it said, the country had built more than 4.25 million 5G base stations by the end of December.报告称,去年中国计算能力总规模达到280 EFLOPS。EFLOPS是计算机系统速度的单位,相当于每秒进行100万亿次浮点运算。此外,报告还称,截至12月底,中国已建成超过425万个5G基站。"To accelerate the building of a 'Digital China', it is crucial to seize the unprecedented opportunities brought about by AI," said Liu Liehong, head of the NDA, at the recently concluded 8th Digital China Summit, highlighting the significance of advancing reforms related to the market-oriented allocation of data elements and implementing the AI Plus initiative.“加快建设‘数字中国',关键是要抓住人工智能带来的前所未有的机遇。”国家数据局局长刘烈宏在刚刚闭幕的第八届数字中国建设峰会上表示,他强调推进数据要素市场化配置改革、实施“人工智能+”战略具有重要意义。Noting that data serves as a new type of production factor, Liu said that more efforts are needed to increase the supply of high-quality data, accelerate the integration of data elements with AI, technological innovation and industrial development and application, and press ahead with the construction of national computing power infrastructure.刘烈宏指出,数据是新型生产要素,需要加大优质数据供给力度,加快数据要素与人工智能的融合发展、技术创新和产业发展应用,推进国家算力基础设施建设。He noted that new computing power in major computing hubs will account for more than 60 percent of the country's total by the end of this year, and called for cultivating a national integrated data market, establishing standards and systems for data circulation and transaction, and strengthening international cooperation in the digital economy domain.他指出,到今年年底,主要计算枢纽新增算力将占全国新增算力的60%以上。他呼吁培育全国一体化数据市场,建立数据流通交易标准体系,加强数字经济领域的国际合作。Luo Zhongwei, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of Industrial Economics, said, "Innovative digital technologies represented by AI, 5G, cloud computing and big data are currently finding a wide range of applications across various industries such as manufacturing, finance and healthcare, and speeding up their integration with the real economy."中国社会科学院工业经济研究所研究员罗仲伟表示:“以人工智能、5G、云计算、大数据等为代表的创新数字技术,正在制造业、金融业、医疗健康等各行各业得到广泛应用,并与实体经济加速融合。”Luo said that facilitating the development of the digital economy is of vital significance for nurturing new quality productive forces, propelling the intelligent transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and consolidating economic recovery momentum, in order to drive a shift from old growth drivers to new ones amid a volatile external environment and tariff pressures from the United States.罗仲伟表示,在外部环境动荡、美国关税压力加大等背景下,推动数字经济发展对于培育新的优质生产力、推动传统产业智能化转型升级、巩固经济复苏势头、促进新旧动能转换具有重要意义。To gain an upper hand amid increasingly fierce international competition, Luo stressed the need to double down on indigenous innovation to make breakthroughs in core technologies in key fields like raw materials, precision components and high-end equipment, and expand the industrial application scenarios of advanced technologies.为了在日益激烈的国际竞争中占据先机,罗仲伟强调,必须加大自主创新力度,突破原材料、精密零部件、高端装备等关键领域的核心技术,拓展先进技术的产业应用场景。In February 2023, China unveiled a plan for the overall layout of its digital development, vowing to make important progress in the construction of a "Digital China" by 2025, with effective interconnectivity in digital infrastructure, a significantly improved digital economy and major breakthroughs in digital technological innovation. By 2035, the nation is expected to be at the global forefront of digital development.2023年2月,中国公布了《数字中国建设整体布局规划》,提出到2025年,“数字中国”建设要取得重要进展,数字基础设施有效互联互通,数字经济水平显著提升,数字技术创新取得重大突破。到2035年,中国数字发展水平要位居世界前列。"As a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is evolving, promoting the in-depth integration of digital technologies with the real economy is a necessary requirement for establishing a modern industrial system and a strategic choice of forging new competitive advantages on the global stage," said Pan Helin, a member of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's Expert Committee for Information and Communication Economy.工信部信息通信经济专家委员会委员盘和林表示:“新一轮科技革命和产业变革正在兴起,推动数字技术与实体经济深度融合,是构建现代产业体系的必然要求,也是打造国际竞争新优势的战略选择。”The move to develop the digital economy is conducive to enhancing the resilience of industrial and supply chains, advancing new industrialization and realizing Chinese modernization, Pan said.他指出,发展数字经济有利于增强产业链供应链韧性,推进新型工业化,实现中国式现代化。He added that a bigger push is needed to reinforce the dominant position of enterprises in boosting sci-tech advancements, increase financial support for innovation-oriented tech companies, and strengthen the training of high-caliber talent.他补充说,需要加大力度巩固企业在科技进步中的主体地位,加大对创新型科技企业的资金支持,加强高层次人才培养。Wu Jianping, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said the emergence of state-of-the-art digital technologies has laid a solid foundation for unleashing the value of massive data elements, which underscores the significance of safeguarding data security, a prerequisite to ensuring the orderly development of the data industry.中国工程院院士吴建平表示,先进数字技术的出现为释放海量数据要素的价值奠定了坚实基础,保障数据安全对于数据产业有序发展至关重要。AI seen as key人工智能被视为关键AI, which has entered a stage of explosive growth, is spearheading the development of the digital economy and is being integrated into every facet of industrial revolution and people's lives.人工智能已进入爆发式增长阶段,引领数字经济发展,并融入到产业变革和人们生活的方方面面。Robin Li, co-founder and CEO of Chinese tech giant Baidu Inc, said that the application of AI technology is reshaping the industrial landscape and will be a transformative force that revolutionizes development over the next 40 years.中国科技巨头百度公司联合创始人兼首席执行官李彦宏表示,人工智能技术的应用正在重塑产业格局,将成为未来40年发展变革的变革力量。Li said the goal of the intelligent transformation of industries and society through AI is to fulfill people's needs—making technology meaningful only if it serves humanity by creating more value and contributing to society.李彦宏表示,人工智能推动行业和社会智能化转型的目标是满足人的需求——只有服务于人类,创造更多价值,贡献社会,技术才有意义。Zhou Hongyi, founder of Chinese internet enterprise 360 Security Group, said: "Looking ahead, the growth potential of China's economy will come from industrial upgrading driven by technological innovation, while AI represented by large language models will give birth to new production and business models in traditional fields such as manufacturing, agriculture and services, creating more social value."中国互联网企业360安全集团创始人周鸿祎表示:“展望未来,中国经济的增长潜力将来自技术创新驱动的产业升级,而以大型语言模型为代表的人工智能将催生制造业、农业、服务业等传统领域的新型生产和商业模式,创造更多社会价值。”Zhou said 360 Security Group will focus on digital security and AI, adding that it is important to promote the digital transformation of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, as they face mounting pressure from a shortage of capital, talent and technology.周鸿祎表示,360安全集团将专注于数字安全和人工智能领域,并指出,推动中小微企业数字化转型至关重要,因为它们面临着日益增长的资金、人才和技术短缺压力。Denis Depoux, global managing director of market consultancy Roland Berger, said, "China has made rapid progress in the development of AI technology, becoming one of the global leaders, and the pace will further accelerate. AI will unlock massive opportunities for our business."市场咨询公司罗兰贝格全球管委会联席总裁丹尼斯·德普表示:“中国在人工智能技术发展方面取得了快速进步,已成为全球领先者之一,而且这一步伐还将进一步加快。人工智能将为我们的业务带来巨大的机遇。”Foreign companies can play a bigger role in supporting China's transformation in fields such as decarbonization and the digitalization of industrial and supply chains, he added.他补充说,外国公司可以在支持中国在低碳化、产业链和供应链数字化等领域转型方面发挥更大作用。digitization/ˌdɪdʒɪtaɪˈzeɪʃn/n.数字化resilience/rɪˈzɪliəns/n.韧性;恢复力interconnectivity/ˌɪntərkəˌnekˈtɪvəti/n.相互连接的状态或能力recalibration/ˌriːˌkælɪˈbreɪʃn/n.再校准;重新调整

Announcing the release of Edan Alexander – the last living Israeli hostage in Gaza with U.S. citizenship – U.S. President Donald Trump did something he never did before, Haaretz columnist Amir Tibon said on the Haaretz podcast. “Trump has spoken before releasing hostages, but this is the first time that he explicitly called to end the 'brutal war' to bring back 'ALL of the hostages,'" Tibon said. It is a hopeful sign, he explained, because without new determination by the U.S. president to apply “massive pressure” on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “this nightmare will not end.” In Tibon’s view, “Netanyahu is determined to continue the war, and he's determined to abandon the remaining hostages who are not lucky enough to be American citizens like Edan Alexander.” The fact that only Alexander was freed, while the non-American hostages remain in captivity, is a difficult pill to swallow for both the hostage families and the wider Israeli public, he added. While Alexander’s rescue is being celebrated, at the same time “it’s shocking that he is being saved because of his American citizenship, while the other hostages – including soldiers, including civilians – are left behind by the Israeli government.” Noting reports that Qatar would be gifting President Trump with a luxury airliner during the U.S. leader’s visit to the Gulf, Tibon made a tongue-in-cheek appeal to the Qataris. “Please give a second plane to Sara Netanyahu in return for ending the war and saving all the hostages. What is one airplane for the lives of so many people, after all. If you hear me, Qatari Government – Sara Netanyahu also needs a 747 – and we need the war to be over.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks in a written statement upon his arrival at the Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi as he started a state visit to the Southeast Asian nation.This year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Vietnam. Noting that the building of a China-Vietnam community with a shared future is faced with new opportunities, Xi called on the two sides to uphold their original aspiration of friendship, keep in mind their common mission and seize the opportunities of the time.Xi said he looks forward to using this visit as an opportunity for an in-depth exchange of views with the Vietnamese side on strategic and overarching issues critical to the direction of China-Vietnam relations and on international and regional issues of common concern.The two-day tour is Xi's fourth state visit to Vietnam. During his state visit to the neighboring country in 2023, the two sides announced to work for a China-Vietnam community with a shared future that carries strategic significance, guiding the relations between the two parties and two countries to a new phase.Connected by mountains and waters, Xi said the two socialist countries have been in each other's company in striving for national independence and liberation, forming the traditional friendship between the two countries that is portrayed as "so profound is the friendship between Vietnam and China, because we are both comrades and brothers."The two countries have learned from each other and walked together to explore the socialism that meets their respective conditions, thus showing the world the bright prospects of the socialist system, he said.Xi said China was pleased to see that the Communist Party of Vietnam is guiding its people in solidarity to strive toward the two goals set for the centenary of the party and the country respectively.It is believed that under the leadership of the CPV led by To Lam, general secretary of the CPV Central Committee, Vietnam will certainly take a socialist path that suits its own conditions and make new ground in the development of the cause of the CPV and Vietnam, he said.Vietnam is the first stop of the Chinese president's five-day visit to Southeast Asia, which will also take him to Malaysia and Cambodia.
Hello and welcome back to 2025! (Noting the irony that is is now April...) The Occupational Philosophers have returned from walking the Earth, exploring the heavens and astral travelling beyond the stratosphere - metaphorically and literally. Feeling refreshed, joyous and 1.27% more wise, they are excited for the new season of the show. This episode combines the loves of both John and Simon: Great questions and raucous dinner parties. As it's a new season, John and Simon explored a bunch of new dinner party questions that move beyond the usual, "What do you do?" (SNORE....) These include: Is there a habit or ritual in your day that feels somewhat sacred and you don't like to miss? You're putting together a diverse team you would love to work with. Who might they be and why? What's something you've recently started looking at differently? What's a question you wish people asked you more often? When do you feel most intellectually alive? It's a curious discussion to kick off a most curious new season for a show that's a lot about curiosity. Simon and John hope you enjoy the show.

Ep.237 Amanda Coulson has worked for three decades as a scholar, critic, curator and cultural producer, having collaborated with artists and institutions, private and corporate colleagues, in the US, Europe, and various sites in the Caribbean. A dual-national (Bahamas/US), she grew up between London, Nassau, and New York, where she studied for her Master's Degree at the Institute of Fine Arts (NYU) and started her career at the Old Master dealers, Wildenstein & Sons, going on to work in various art galleries in London, Paris and Milan. Developing as a writer, Coulson spent 2 years as the international Editor of tema celeste, an Italian bi-lingual contemporary art magazine, before consolidating her critical practice writing for a variety of publications (Frieze, Modern Painters, ARTNews, among others) and providing critical texts for monographic gallery and museum shows. Coulson also worked as a freelance curator in Germany, organizing several exhibitions in Berlin, Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, Leipzig and Vienna (Austria), with special attention to Bahamian artists. Noting a lack of platforms for galleries representing emerging art, in 2005 she co-founded the VOLTA art fairs, which take place annually in New York and Basel, Switzerland. In 2011, she was invited home to The Bahamas to be Executive Director at the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas (NAGB), where her focus was on increasing global awareness of the contemporary Caribbean art scene and on expanding the capacity and reach of the NAGB through a rigorous combination of capital works, collaborative projects and the building of strong inter-island, regional and international networks. She served on the Davidoff Art Initiative (now Caribbean Art Initiative) Board from 2012-2018, and on the Board of the Museums Association of the Caribbean (MAC) until she stepped down from the NAGB in 2021, after a decade at the helm. She is the founding partner at TERN, a new Nassau-based gallery operated by three Bahamian women whose aim is to support Bahamian and Caribbean artists in telling their own stories the global stage.

TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS VERUS TURBULENT TIMES One thing I know right now, if you are in an abusive , toxic relationship.. men or women.. you do NOT need this, nor do you deserve this. There are solutions. I know that there is a lot of anger in our country right now and has been for a long while. That is the elephant in the room. When I met Tina Huggins at a business event, I was struck by her consulting, coaching service. Noting in my mind, this is a must needed service for several reasons. (Side note she is NOT a therapist.. I was in therapy off and on for thirty years as I wanted to prevent myself becoming like my alcoholic mom). Tina's background provides her with experience and advanced training as someone who has experienced trauma in her own marriage. She is trained in martial arts and her specialized training in certification as a divorce coach specialist. I am including the video where she and her “ new” husband discuss their experiences. The perspective of MEN experiencing physical and financial abuse is eye opening and must be heeded.

With the NFL Free Agency period kicking off yesterday afternoon, teams across the league waste no time in the legal tampering followed with a few shocking trades announced throughout the day. With the Jets moving on from Aaron Rodgers and handing the realm over to Justin Fields, to D.K. Metcalf being traded to the Steelers is just the tip of the ice in this years free agency madness. Noting the Raiders quarterback situation the organization forwardly announces their new starting quarterback now to be Geno Smith followed by Seattle inquiring and signing Minnesota's quarterback, Sam Darnold as his replacement. Noting the Texans a bit active early-on in this free agency in comparison to last years, yesterday the Texans traded OT Laremy Tunsil to the Washington Commanders in exchange for two 2025 third and seventh round picks followed by two 2026 second and fourth round picks tossed in with a 2025 fourth-round pick for Washington. Sean and Brian pose with the Texans not bringing back Stefon Diggs followed by trading for Lermey Tunsil and acquiring new players like Christian Kirk aiming to fix a few issues around the team, are the Texans ushering into a new culture shift rolling into the 2025 season?
Over the course of the weekend tremendous news broke around the NFL regarding trade deals, extension signings, and more. With legal tampering taking in full effect today, organizations across the NFL waste no time in scooping and signing players to their roster for the 2025 season over the weekend.

As contracts and rookie deals begin to expire Sean and Brian pose to listeners, what could Will Anderson Jr's. contract extension tend to look like, if the Texans do decide to resign him?

Friday, 7 March 2025 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 8:11 “And I say to you that many from east and west, they will arrive, and they will recline with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus noted that He had not found such faith as that of the centurion even in Israel. He continues His statement with, “And I say to you that many from east and west, they will arrive.” The Greek word translated as east has already been seen in Matthew 2. However, the word translated as west, dusmé, is first found here. It is derived from dunó, to sink or set. It is generally associated with the setting of the heavenly bodies as if they are sinking into the sea when they reach the western horizon. A second new word is hékó, to arrive. Most translations say “come,” but this is not necessarily the intent. To come signifies the action of motion. This word signifies the action of arriving, as in being present. It is the termination point of the coming. As such, it isn't as if people will come from time to time from the east and the west. Rather, they will come from those locations to arrive at a new location, being present at a particular time. There is a sense of finality in this that will exclude those who do not arrive at the set location at that time. Jesus is expressing a large, even uncountable number by saying this. As there really is no east or west, just a direction in which one will continuously travel, it indicates that wherever people are, there will be those included in His words. Understanding that, He continues with, “and they will recline with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.” To recline signifies having a meal. At the time, tables were low and attendees would sit on the floor, reclining on one another or on pillows designed for the purpose. At such tables, meals would be served, and it would be considered, as it is today, a time of fellowship and enjoyment. Noting that it would be with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, is a way of ensuring the people understood that there was a future when the righteous would be raised according to the Messianic promises and that there would be a feast at the gathering where all the righteous would fellowship together in the presence of God. The inclusion of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is further given to ensure that it was understood that those gathered were saved believers, meaning deemed righteous before God. It was taken as an axiom by the people that it was so. As such, it would be the fulfillment of the promises to those men as given by the Lord concerning the restoration of all things and the coming of the promised kingdom, which is “in the kingdom of the heavens.” The context of Jesus' words is that they are stated in connection with the demonstration of faith by the centurion. He was not of Israel, he was not under the law of Moses, and there is not an ounce of evidence to suggest that he had taken up the religion of the people of Israel. It is true that Luke 7 says that he loved the nation and built them a synagogue, but it would be a glaring oversight not to say he was a proselyte or had converted to Judaism if it was so. Any attempt to say he was a proselyte must be forced into the text based on presuppositions. Further, Jesus skips over all of those who were under the law, like David, Daniel, and John the Baptist. Rather, He goes back to those who lived prior to the time of the law. Theirs was a walk of faith in the Lord and His promises. It was not a time of law observance. Thus, the words of Jesus are clear. A time is prophesied when those of faith will be gathered together in the presence of God to dine and fellowship in the place that God has prepared for His people. Life application: Context is king, and the context of Jesus' words, as spoken to the people in this passage, is that Gentiles will be included in what God has promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And not only is it so, but it will be a number so large, the Bible would describe it as innumerable or with some other superlative. Instead of this, though, He simply points to the two undetermined directions of east and west to make His point. There is a south, and there is a north, but there is actually no set east or west. In this statement by Jesus, there is a complete refutation of the doctrine of the Judaizers who are today's Hebrew Roots adherents. Jesus' words identify them as the problem that needs to be resolved. Law and works can do nothing to bring one near to God. Rather, it is by faith alone through grace alone that this is brought about. “Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?— 6 just as Abraham “believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” 7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, ‘In you all the nations shall be blessed.' 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.” Galatians 3:5-9 Lord God, thank You for justification by grace through faith. Thank You that works are excluded. Otherwise, how could we ever know when we had sufficiently worked our way up the ladder and back to You! Rather, Jesus has done it all. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! Thank You for our precious Lord Jesus. Amen.
With spring games coursing on over the weekend, the Astros took on the Cardinals Friday followed with the Yankees and the Nationals throughout the weekend. Winning against the Cardinals on Friday but falling short Saturday and yesterday, the Astros finish the weekend 1-2 rolling into another fresh week of spring games. Noting some changes around the field with Altuve in left-field now followed by Paredes plugged in at third and rotating prospects around the infield, the Astros look to be stringing things along in determining spots before the start of the season. With the infield looking pretty solid lots of attention has now turned to the outfield, not in regards to their production on defense but rather their production on offense. Attaining his first hits this spring training followed with two RBI's yesterday, Jake Meyers had himself a day with many raising question if this can be sustained in the long run. With Altuve the leadoff hitter moving from the infield and Yordan now mostly the Astros DH, should there be a concern with the offensive production in the outfield roughly pertaining to the backend of the lineup?
Ed Arnold works with B2B companies to develop their value-based pricing strategies. His specialty is translating a company's competitive advantage into a viable customer value pricing strategy, as well as advising on commercial execution. In this episode, Ed shares when value conversations are most effective. He highlights the need to tailor value models to each prospect through open-ended questions that uncover key business drivers. Because when value is clearly demonstrated, price becomes a secondary concern, resulting in smoother sales and fewer pricing objections. Why you have to check out today's podcast: Learn why guiding customers to do their own value math is more persuasive than presenting a pre-made ROI model. Discover how value conversations shift the focus from cost to impact, making price negotiations smoother. Understand why dumping numbers on customers backfires and how to engage them in a way that builds trust and buy-in. "As customers, we have a good sense of what a great deal is.

In this episode I am once again joined by Mary Shutan: author, occultist, and spiritual teacher. Mary discusses her new book “Shadow Work for the Soul”, shares her lifelong fascination with the psychological power of dark fairytales, and explains the function of social masks and personae. Mary remarks on a notable increase in spiritual emergencies, a rise in nihilism and the “dark feminine”, and offers advice for those facing spiritual crisis. Mary then takes a deep dive into shadow work, challenges common misconceptions, and offers surprising reflections on both new age masculine-feminine trends and “The Work” of Byron Katie. Mary also reveals how to perceive the shadow in popular culture, warns about the danger of spiritual bypass, and explains how to identify and disarm the ego defences to go beyond one's limitations. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep294-shadow-work-for-the-soul-mary-shutan Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:03 - An notable increase in spiritual emergencies 03:51 - Nihilism and other trends on the increase 05:30 - Collective shadows and the dark feminine 07:25 - How to work with nihilism 08:27 - Mary's advice for those in spiritual crisis 09:39 - The psychological power of myths and fairy tales 11:26 - What can myths and fairy tales teach us? 12:19 - Archetypes and mythic figures 13:18 - Princess and the Pea and Sisyphus 15:21 - Seeing oneself reflected in myths and fairy tales 16:50 - Trauma isolates 18:00 - What is the shadow? 19:43 - What is shadow work? 20:08 - How concepts change when they become mainstream 21:36 - The evolution of acupuncture 23:51 - Limitations of the pop-culture version of shadow work 26:58 - Comments on Byron Katie and “The Work” 31:27 - The healthy ego and ego defences 33:33 - How to identify the ego's defence mechanisms 34:33 - Intellectualisation vs embodiment 35:32 - Superiority/inferiority loop 37:09 - The world as a mirror 40:02 - Pop culture and politics 41:29 - Dangers of spiritual bypass 45:50 - Masks, personae, and perfectionism 47:36 - The importance of mentors 48:47 - Self enquiry traps and the dangers of labels 50:47 - Identifying with spiritual attainments 53:30 - When did Mary call off the search? 55:35 - Letting go of the high-achiever identity 58:03 - Anima, animus, and the masculine-feminine continuum 59:34 - Masculine and feminine dynamics in the occult 01:02:13 - Identifying collective shadows through pop culture figures 01:04:12- Today's cultural focus on narcissism 01:05:41 - Noting your personal reactions to celebrity 01:06:02 - The cultural phenomenon of Taylor Swift 01:08:36 - Shadows of light 01:10:02 - Dark feminine rising 01:10:56 - Why “dark feminine?” 01:12:48 - How do we emerge from times of change? 01:14:48 - Mary's view of the future … Previous episode with Mary Shutan: - https://www.guruviking.com/search?q=shutan To find out more about Mary Shutan, visit: - http://maryshutan.com/ For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James
Thanks for tuning in to another episode of By Their Side, friends. I am joined today by the great Gaelin Elmore, former NFL player and current passionate advocate for youth facing adversity. As a child, Gaelin was very much a part of the foster system, but his experience, while inspiring because of how he overcame such challenges, was not a happy one. Listen as Gaelin reflects on his journey through foster care and how he discovered an incredibly important truth, that belonging is the key to surviving and thriving. Gaelin reflects on how the concept of belonging changed his life, turning difficult situations into opportunities to grow, and he talks about a pivotal moment with his high school coach, who showed him the power of community and brotherhood at a time when Gaelin was ready to give up. That experience of his, along with the many others who supported him along the way, helped him realize that we all play a role in creating places of belonging. Throughout our conversation, Gaelin also discusses how this fundamental human need can truly change lives, encouraging us to look at our own lives and see how we can show up for others, whether we know their story or not. For anyone struggling with a sense of belonging, Gaelin Elmore offers practical advice on how to begin the necessary work to embrace who we are and seek places where we can truly be ourselves. This episode is a reminder that change is a journey, and small, consistent actions can have lasting impacts! Highlights: [1:55] - Gaelin's childhood was unstable, but he now uses his story to help others. [4:38] - Belonging has shaped Gaelin's life, making hardships bearable. [6:26] - Hear how Gaelin's understanding of belonging has grown over time. [9:41] - Belonging is often overlooked, urging reflection on those who provide it. [10:16] - Gaelin credits his high school coach for teaching him the importance of belonging and community. [12:30] - Gaelin's coach's support came at the right time, aided by others' earlier help. [15:43] - Even just small acts of support accumulate over time, contributing to significant long-term change. [16:36] - Noting that change is gradual and often unnoticed, Gaelin compares his growth to TV show character, Jamie Tartt. [19:20] - It's important to create inclusive spaces by showing kindness and commitment to all. [21:56] - True belonging is about being yourself in spaces where others can also be themselves. [26:40] - Gaelin embraces his strengths and challenges, creating honest connections without blaming himself when rejected. [28:58] - Internal work helps Gaelin separate his worth from relationships, recognizing when he truly belongs. [30:25] - Gaelin argues that acceptance of ourselves allows us to show up fully in relationships, embracing imperfections and insecurities. [32:05] - Consistently investing in others helps them recognize their value, even if they don't immediately recognize it. [35:07] - People who are used to positive reinforcement show up differently, but some others need help learning to receive it. [37:22] - Gaelin's coach's patience and commitment ultimately helped him feel seen and supported. [39:38] - Hear how a meaningful conversation with his coach led Gaelin to trust, growth, and a stronger relationship. [41:10] - Giving agency in relationships can be so powerful.
