Jing Ouyang, co-founder and chief growth officer of Patchwork Health discusses the political pressure on health services to streamline operations, the difficulty in digitising NHS clinics and leaving a career as a medical doctor to launch a tech startup.  Patchwork Health is a digital platform for clinics to manage day-to-day operations, organise workflows and reduce agency spending. Ouyang spent years as a resident doctor where he saw first hand the manual processes and bureaucracy needlessly complicating matters. He co-founded Patchwork with another former NHS doctor to directly address the problems the founders had faced in their health careers. 

In today's podcast we were delighted to be joined by the presenters of the top scientific abstracts for the Annual Assembly of the American Academy of  Hospice and Palliative Medicine (AAHPM) and the Hospice and Palliative Medicine Nurses Association (HPNA).  Eric and I interviewed these presenters at the meeting on Thursday (before the pub crawl, thankfully).  On Saturday, they formally presented their abstracts during the plenary session, followed by a wonderful question and answer session with Hillary Lum doing a terrific job in the role of podcast host moderator. Our three guests were Marie Bakitas, who conducted a trial of tele/video palliative care for Black and White inpatients with serious illness hospitalized in the rural south; Yael Shenker, for a trial of patient-directed Prepare-for-your-care vs. facilitated Respecting Choices style advance care planning interventions; and, Na Ouyang, who studied the relationship between prognostic communication and prolonged grief among the parents of children who died from cancer.  From just the abstracts we had so many questions. We covered some of our questions on the podcast, others you can ponder on your own or in your journal clubs, including: Marie's tele/video palliative care intervention was tailored/refined with the help of a community advisory board. Does every institution need to get a community advisory board to tailor their rural tele-palliative care initiative (or geriatrics intervention) to the local communities served?  Who would/should be on that board? How to be sensitive to the risks of stereotyping based on recommendations from the few members of the board to the many heterogeneous patients served? Advance care planning has taken a beating. For the purposes of a thought exercise, no matter what you believe, let's assume that there are clear important benefits. Based on the results of Yael's study, should resources be allocated to resource intensive nurse facilitated sessions (Respecting Choices), which had significantly better engagement, or to low resource intensive patient-facing materials (Prepare), which had significantly less engagement but still plenty of engagement (e.g. 75% vs 61% advance directive completion)? One interpretation of Na's study is that clinicians can lean on the high levels of trust and high ratings of communication to engage with parents of children with cancer about prognosis.  Another interpretation is that clinicians avoided telling the parents prognosis in order to bolster their ratings of trust and communication quality.  Which is it? Bonus: Simon says he composed the song Sounds of Silence in a dark echoing bathroom about his concerns that people had stopped listening to each other in the 1960s (still resonates, right?).  Garfunkel says Simon was writing about Garfunklel's friend and college roomate Sandy, who was blind.  Who's got the right of it?   Enjoy! -Alex Smith   

Over the past few years, we've heard a lot about artificial intelligence and the algorithms that support public policy, decision making and resource allocations.  By processing reams of presumably neutral data, the algorithms are supposed to produce unbiased results.  But we've also heard concerns about the algorithms themselves: what unrecognized assumptions go into their construction and how they can produce different outcomes depending on programmer choices about the data that goes into them. Join host Ronnie Lipschutz for a conversation with Professor David Rehkopf of the Department of Epidemiology & Population Health at the Stanford University School of Medicine, and Derek Ouyang, Executive Director of City Systems and Senior Research Manager in Stanford University's Regulation, Evaluation, and Governance Lab.  We'll be taking about what algorithms are, how they are used to promote environmental justice and guide public funding for disadvantaged communities, and why they can produce different results depending on what goes into them and what comes out. 

Current text generators, such as ChatGPT, are highly unreliable, difficult to use effectively, unable to do many things we might want them to, and extremely expensive to develop and run. These defects are inherent in their underlying technology. Quite different methods could plausibly remedy all these defects.

Welcome to Season 13 Episode 38 of the ParentingAces Podcast, a proud member of the Tennis Channel Podcast Network. This week, we take an inside look at Intennse, a new team format that was recently showcased as a junior event in the Atlanta area. Lisa chats with two of the players, Sadira Ouyang and Connor Mowrey, as well as their parents about their experience. NOTE: To watch/listen to our earlier podcast with Intennse (aka Time Tennis) founders, go to https://parentingaces.com/podcasts/its-time-for-time-tennis-ft-charles-allen-yannick-yoshizawa/ Intennse (formerly known as Time Tennis) is a new way to compete in our sport. Per the Atlanta event website, 18 participants (9 boys and 9 girls) were selected by WTN to compete in this event. Participants were divided into 3 teams of 3 boys and 3 girls; each team had a professional coach who was present on court during play. There were round robins in the categories of Boys' singles, Girls' singles and Mixed Doubles. Each team played each other once in each category and accumulated points. The winning team received medals and a trophy. Players from all teams will be invited to attend or participate in the Intennse college level rivalry event to be held October 26th. Matches consisted of two 15 minute halves; there was no second serve and the server continued serving as long as they held serve. Like college matches, lets were played; clean winners count two points, and teams can take one time out and make one substitution per half. Live coaching was allowed. Here is what the one-day event looked like, schedule-wise: 09:00 - 10:00.  Arrival 10:00 - 10:30.  Presentation / Rules and Schedule overview 10:30 - 10:45  Coaches introduction and Announcement of Teams 10:45 - 11:30  Teams warm up / practice and discuss strategy 11:30 - 12:00.  Break   12:00.  A Boys v. B Boys 12:30.  B Girls v C Girls 01:00.  C Mixed v A Mixed 01:30.  B Boys v C Boys 02:00.  A Girls v B Girls 02:30.  C Mixed v B Mixed 03:00.  A Boys v C Boy 03:30.  C Girls v A Girls 04:00.  A Mixed v B Mixed   04:30   Winner Presentations & Prizes 05:00   After Party As you'll hear from both families, this is a format they'd like to see included as a regular option on the junior competition calendar.

As, I was listening through the whole edit, one thing stood out to me and that is that it really don't matter on comparing on everyone's faith walk with Christ. What that means is that I think typically in some point in your walk with Christ, you come across with people who are also in their walk with God but may have disagreements but yet have a fruitful conversation. Each episode is definitely always about learning yet sharing the gospel and how God has impacted myself or the guest. So enjoy, and I catch y'all next time :) As always for Season 2, we are inspired by this scripture: Matthew 5:9 " Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the Children of God" See you all soon and catch you August 3rd at 8PM!!!

In this episode, a conversation with Ouyang Yu, author, translator, academic, and renowned poet. Ouyang Yu's first collection of stories in English, The White Cockatoo Flowers, is both assured and tender and at times surprisingly funny. It includes stories set in China and Australia that revel in the truth and candour of lived experience and the joys and constraints of language. In this book Ouyang Yu deftly peels back the layers on what it means to move from one culture to another, and what it means to be a writer, a husband, a parent and a stranger on foreign and familiar ground. Ouyang Yu was joined in conversation by Alice Pung, a writer and editor whose books include the memoirs Unpolished Gem, Her Father's Daughter, and the novel Laurinda.

‘The Cryptic Clue' is a crime novel which puts capable older women in the spotlight and brings laughs about attitudes and happenings from the not so distant past. This is another Tea Ladies mystery written by Amanda Hampson.Ouyang Yu explores the dissonance between cultures which can lead to both comic outcomes and even a sense of loss in his collection of stories, 'The White Cockatoo Flowers'.  

Tori and Mabelle talk with award-winning playwright and screenwriter, Anna Ouyang Moench, about grad school, motherhood, and her incredible catalog of plays. Anna shares about juggling life as an MFA Playwriting student at UCSD with teaching assistant work and parenting a newborn. The episode includes in-depth discussions of Anna's plays “Mothers,” “Man of God,” “Birds of North America,” and her most recent play “Your Local Theater Presents: A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, Again.”

Another episode touching on aspects not featured in past episodes. Today playwright Anna Ouyang Moench sits in the Playwright's Spotlight and, thankfully, after botching her name twice, she was nice enough to stick around. In this interview, we discuss the benefits of writers groups, the pursuit of playwriting, and developing a play during rehearsal through a nontraditional writing approach. We also discuss the techniques of structure, working under time constraints and the the practicality and theatricality of producing, transferring from larger markets to smaller markets as well as building your network as you grow. We also talk about how playwriting helps in the arena of film and television, how to take notes and receive feedback and being mindful when receiving it, how to juggle life's responsibilities and finding discipline while writing, the mechanisms of a play, playing with the structure of timeline as well as obtaining theatrical and literary representation and so much more. Certainly a learning experience on my end which I hope you enjoy. Anna Ouyang Moench is an award-winning playwright and screenwriter. Her plays have been produced across the country and include Mothers, Birds of North America, and Sin Eaters. She has been supported by fellowships and residencies from The Playwrights Realm, New York Foundation of the Arts, the Jerome Foundation, the Van Lier Foundation, Yaddo, the Tofte Lake Center, the Sewanee Writers Conference, and the Last Frontier Theatre Conference. Her awards include the Paul Stephen Lim Playwriting Award from the Kennedy Center, the Gerbode Special Award in the Arts, Boulder Ensemble Theater Company's Generations Award, and East West Players' 2042: See Change Award. She is an alum of UCSD's Playwriting M.F.A. program, the Emerging Writers Group at the Public Theater, Youngblood at Ensemble Studio Theatre, the Jam at New Georges, and writers groups at East West Players and the Echo Theater Company.To view the video format of this episode, visit -https://youtu.be/HbNX6N4sPaAFor tickets to Birds of North America if you're in the Los Angeles area, visit -https://odysseytheatre.com/whats-on/birds-of-north-america/Links to sites mentioned in this episode - Playwright's Realm -https://playwrightsrealm.org/New York Foundation for the Arts -https://www.nyfa.orgJerome Foundation -https://www.jeromefdn.orgVan Lier Fellowship -https://www.aaartsalliance.org/programs/van-lier-fellowshipYaddo -https://yaddo.orgSawanee Writers Conference -https://www.sewaneewriters.orgLast Frontier -http://www.theatreconference.orgUCSD Theatre Dept. -https://theatre.ucsd.eduWebsites and socials for James Elden, PMP, and Playwright's Spotlight -Punk Monkey Productions - www.punkmonkeyproductions.comPLAY Noir -www.playnoir.comPLAY Noir Anthology –www.punkmonkeyproductions.com/contact.htmlJames Elden -Twitter - @jameseldensauerIG - @alakardrakeFB - fb.com/jameseldensauerPunk Monkey Productions and PLAY Noir - Twitter - @punkmonkeyprods                  - @playnoirla IG - @punkmonkeyprods       - @playnoir_la FB - fb.com/playnoir        - fb.com/punkmonkeyproductionsPlaywright's Spotlight -Twitter - @wrightlightpod IG - @playwrights_spotlightPlaywriting services through Los Angeles Collegiate Playwrights Festivalwww.losangelescollegiateplaywrightsfestival.com/services.htmlSupport the show

The active ingredients of ginseng mainly contribute to aging delay through the following mechanisms: (1) the increase in the expression of antioxidant enzymes to achieve a balance between intracellular oxidation and antioxidation, the mitigation of excessive production of ROS, and the reduction in endogenous DNA damage, which prevent cell cycle arrest and delay aging; and (2) the regulation of the activities of DNA glycosylase and sirtuins in the process of DNA damage repair to ensure that the DNA repair pathway can accurately repair DNA damage caused by various factors associated with aging. #ginseng #aging #microbiota Su, J., Su, Q., Hu, S., Ruan, X., & Ouyang, S.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. James Ouyang, co-founder of 3D Printing industry giant AnyCubic (https://jle.vi/anycubic). This episode is part of an ongoing series of videos and interviews during my tour in Shenzhen - China's technological and industrial hub. AnyCubic was kind enough to sponsor my trip to China, to coincide with a few special events they are hosting and participating in. In this episode, we talk about the 3D Printing landscape as a whole (and the scene here in Shenzhen), the story of AnyCubic as a company, the AnyCubic Kobra 2 series, and much, much more. I particularly appreciated Dr. Ouyang's candidness, and his willingness to also "tease" some new products without giving away information that he cannot give away. I KNOW you'll love this episode, and if you do, don't forget to give a "like" :)

Bem-vindo à Rádio Minghui. As transmissões incluem assuntos relativos à perseguição ao Falun Gong na China, entendimentos e experiências dos praticantes adquiridas no curso de seus cultivos, interesses e música composta e executada pelos praticantes do Dafa. Programa 685: Experiência de cultivo da categoria Autoaprimoramento intitulada: "Vi a inveja ao enviar pensamentos retos", escrita por Ouyang, um praticante do Falun Dafa na China.

Chinese courts have been required to strengthen penalties against those that damage or destroy trees that are more than 100 years old.中国法院被要求加大对破坏或毁坏百年以上树木的违法者的惩罚。The Supreme People's Court, China's top court, issued an interpretation of the Criminal Law on Monday, with clarification on how to handle criminal cases involving forest resources.周一，中国最高人民法院，即中国最高法院，对刑法进行了解释，明确了如何处理涉及森林资源的刑事案件。"We've frequently seen cases in the past few years in which people have cut down, destroyed or even poisoned old trees," said Yu Haisong, an official from the top court's research office.最高人民法院研究室官员喻海松表示：“过去的几年里，我们经常看到有人砍伐、破坏甚至毒害老树的案例。”In one case, three people, surnamed Ouyang, He and Li, were imprisoned and fined after being found to have drilled into camphor trees to inject pesticides from April to December in 2021 in Hunan province to fell them, Yu said.他说，2021年4月至12月，欧阳、何和李在湖南省钻孔灌毒致古樟树死亡，被监禁并罚款。"They poisoned seven such trees in total, and then benefited from the plant sales," he said, revealing that one of the trees was sold at a price of more than 338,000 yuan ($46,600).喻海松说：“他们共毒死古樟树7株并出售牟利”他透露，其中一棵树的售价超过33.8万元（合4.66万美元）。Five of the felled trees were more than 500 years old, and the other two were also over 300 years old, he added.他补充说，被砍伐的五棵树木有500多年的历史，另外两棵也有300多年的历史。The three defendants were convicted of damaging key national protected wild plants.三名被告被法院以危害国家重点保护植物罪判刑。Ouyang was sentenced to five years in prison and fined 20,000 yuan; He was jailed for four and a half years and fined 20,000 yuan; and Li was jailed for three and a half years and fined 10,000 yuan.欧阳被判有期徒刑五年，并处罚金人民币二万元；何有期徒刑四年六个月，并处罚金人民币二万元；李有期徒刑三年六个月，并处罚金人民币一万元。"Ancient trees have special historical, cultural, scientific and ecological value, so it's essential and urgent to increase efforts to protect them and prevent behaviors that harm tree resources," Yu said.喻海松表示：“古树具有特殊的历史、文化、科研、生态价值，因此必须加大保护力度，谨防危害树木资源的行为。”While calling on judges to protect old trees in line with those on the country's list of key protected wild plants, he cited the interpretation, noting that for those that aren't listed, judges are allowed to punish criminals based on research of the species, ages, and the historical and cultural value of the damaged trees.在呼吁法官按照《国家重点保护野生植物名录》保护古树名木的同时，他援引解释，指出，对于不在名单上的，法官可以根据涉案树木的树种、树龄以及历史、文化价值等因素，综合评估社会危害性，依法定罪处罚。The 20-article interpretation will take effect on Tuesday, China's first National Ecology Day.这份20条的解释将在周二，即中国的首个全国生态日生效。Zhou Jiahai, deputy head of the top court's research office, said that such a legal document enables judges to get tough on crimes involving the damaging of forest resources and meet the demand for forest protection.最高人民法院研究室副主任周加海说，这份法律文件使法官可以严厉打击破坏森林资源的犯罪，契合森林保护的要求。"It's the latest move to further implement the central leadership's requirement on the construction of an ecological civilization," he added.他补充说：“这是进一步实施中央领导层对建设生态文明的要求的最新举措。”Data released by the top court on Monday showed that from 2018 to last year, more than 64,000 criminal cases involving the damage or destruction of forest resources were concluded, with punishments handed down to over 82,000 defendants.最高法院周一发布的数据显示，从2018年到去年，已经结案的涉及损坏或毁坏森林资源的刑事案件超过64000件，对超过82000名被告进行了惩罚。Court英/kɔːt/美/kɔrt/n.法院Jail英/dʒeil/美/dʒel/v.监禁

PART ONE (8/15/2022) https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gracedelpino/episodes/NO-EMPTY-SEATS-FT--MICHAEL-OUYANG-e1mhn5v Some topics discussed in todays episode: Why it so important to share the stories of others Imposter syndrome that comes with big life transitions How to not abandoning yourself – figuring out your core values when you don't know where to start How to change the way that you see yourself and shift the perspective and mindset to knowing that this transformation is painful, but you're not falling apart, you're just falling into something different with a new capacity to be beautiful Embodying emotions- how this can help us learn about the emotions we have, and what they mean, not only in relation to the present, but also in relation to our past Pushing past your limits and expanding past your emotional threshold of discomfort And lastly gaining acceptance and confidence in yourself Things I would tell my younger self if I could: Don't drown in comparing yourself to others, you are beautiful and valuable, and no one can take that away. Loving yourself can make life a lot easier. Be gentle with your words because hearts are fragile. It is hard to move forward when you refuse to let go. Your first reaction to a difficult situation is usually not the wisest- pausing to think before acting is empowering. Giving others kindness will be soothing to your mind into your future. Pain doesn't last forever. -Yung Pueblo Cheryl Strayed Quotes: There are some things you can't understand yet. Your life will be great and continuous unfolding but understand that what you resolve will need to be resolved again. And again. We will come to know things that can only be known with the wisdom of age and the grace of yours. Most things will be okay eventually, but not everything will be. Sometimes you'll put up a good fight and lose. Sometimes you'll hold on really hard and realize there is no choice but to let go. Acceptance is a small, quiet room. Many years ago, when I was in graduate school, a few poet friends of mine told me about an assignment they had that require them to listen repeatedly to a poem in a language, they didn't understand, and then translate it into English. Their mission wasn't to know what the words meant, but rather to hear them, to feel them, to imagine them, and then to conjure something from within themselves to translate the impossible mystery of those words into a poem of their own creation in a language they know. It seems audacious and nonsensical as it first seems, the task is ultimately what poetry- and life- asks us to do: attempt to make clarity and meaning out of the incomprehensible. In some ways, what we're all being asked to do right now is to create something beautiful from the unknown languages we've suddenly found ourselves forced to comprehend. We've had to translate the sentence I don't know how I'm going to do this into the opposite of its meaning, and do this, as you have time, and time again.

Welcome back to another episode! Today, Mak and Ashley sit down and talk about the nature of communication within areas of various sports. They focus on weightlifting, swimming, and running as they have experience in these sports and they tend to emphasize an “ideal body” of individuals, directly or indirectly. Through Ashley's experience of being an elite athlete, who competed in the Olympic swimming trials, to then taking on CrossFit and Mak's experience of running a marathon, they offer a unique perspective that will provide beneficial information. All of the resources used in the podcast are cited below for reference.   Thank you for listening and make sure to comment, review, and subscribe to this podcast!

K., Wang, W., Smith, H., OuYang, A., Deniz, E., Lake, E., Jin, S. C., Luikart, B. W., Kahle, K. T. Abstract: Expansion of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-filled cerebral ventricles (ventriculomegaly) is the quintessential feature of congenital hydrocephalus (CH) but also seen in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and several neuropsychiatric diseases. PTEN is frequently mutated in ASD; here, we show PTEN is a bona fide risk gene for the development of ventriculomegaly, including neurosurgically-treated CH. Pten-mutant hydrocephalus is associated with aqueductal stenosis due to the hyperproliferation of periventricular Nkx2.1+ neural precursors (NPCs) and CSF hypersecretion from inflammation-dependent choroid plexus hyperplasia. The hydrocephalic Pten-mutant cortex exhibits ASD-like network dysfunction due to impaired activity of Nkx2.1+ NPC-derived inhibitory interneurons. Raptor deletion or post-natal Everolimus corrects ventriculomegaly, rescues cortical deficits, and increases survival by antagonizing mTORC1-dependent Nkx2.1+ cell pathology. These results implicate a dual impact of PTEN mutation on CSF dynamics and cortical networks via the dysregulation of NPCs and their interneuron descendants. These data identify a non-surgical treatment target for hydrocephalus and have implications for other developmental brain disorders. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Abstract: The potential to combine facts from exceptional senses, and thereby facilitate detecting and localizing events, commonly develops regularly in cat superior colliculus (SC) neurons. Multisensory integration in SC neurons depends on the spatial and temporal relationships of cross-modal cues. Here, we reveal that the parallel process of short-term plasticity during adulthood that would adapt multisensory integration to reliable changes in environmental conditions. The short-term experience altered the temporal preferences of SC neurons, this short-term plasticity was limited to changes in cross-modal timing (a factor commonly induced by events at different distances from the receiver. Nonetheless the plasticity was no evident in response to changes in cross-modal spatial configuration. Copy rights belong to original authors.

M., Ouyang, W., Sturtz, M., Upton, E., Luhmann, E., Vessely, M., Coloma, R., Schwery, N., Anthony, S. M., Goeken, A., Moninger, T. O., Harty, J. T., Klingelhutz, A. J., Lundberg, E., Meyerholz, D. K., Manicassamy, B., Stipp, C. S., Guerra, S., Radoshevich, L. Abstract: The ubiquitin-like protein, ISG15, can act as a cytokine or can covalently modify host and pathogen-derived proteins. The consequences of ISG15 modification on substrate fate remain unknown. Here we reveal that ISGylation of the Arp2/3 complex slows actin filament formation and stabilizes Arp2/3 dependent structures including cortical actin and lamella. When properly controlled, this serves as an antibacterial and antiviral host defense strategy to directly restrict actin-mediated pathogen spread. However, Listeria monocytogenes takes advantage in models of dysregulated ISGylation, leading to increased mortality due to augmented spread. The underlying molecular mechanism responsible for the ISG15-dependent impact on actin-based motility is due to failed bacterial separation after division. This promotes spread by enabling the formation of multi-headed bacterial bazookas with stabilized comet tails that can disseminate deeper into tissues. A bacterial mutant that cannot recruit Arp2/3 or a non-ISGylatable mutant of Arp3 is sufficient to rescue slowed comet tail speed and restrict spread. Importantly, ISG15-deficient neonatal mice have aberrant epidermal epithelia characterized by keratinocytes with diffuse cortical actin, which could underlie observed defects in wound healing in human patients who lack ISG15. Ultimately, our discovery links host innate immune responses to cytoskeletal dynamics with therapeutic implications for viral infection and metastasis. Copy rights belong to original authors.

This week, Rob and Lee look at a short essay where Ouyang Xiu talks about a Mei Yaochen poem that he finds woven into the fabric of a barbarian's bag. Their discussion touches not only on the poem, but also on questions of the materiality of literature. 

Programa 467: En esta edición les presentamos una experiencia publicada en la página web de Minghui titulada "Experimenté el poder de una "mente recta y una atención sin división" por Ouyang.

In this podcast episode, MRS Bulletin's Sophia Chen interviews Bin Ouyang of Florida State University about making a better cathode for lithium ion batteries. The current use of cobalt and nickel in their cathodes causes Li-ion batteries to contract in volume and degrade. Ouyang and his colleagues simulated and then fabricated new cathode materials that do not use cobalt or nickel and also degrade less after being charged and discharged. To achieve this, they found that they needed to design a material with disorder in its crystal structure. They found that replacing cobalt and nickel with vanadium and niobium leads to a battery with a small change of volume. The results provide a model for the further search of viable cathode materials to design lithium-ion batteries that are entirely made of solids. This study is published in Joules (doi:10.1016/j.joule.2022.05.018).

The Power that Improvements on Supply Chains using Blockchain has on Global Social Impact, with Samantha Ouyang and TKS This is part 2 of a 4 part continuing series on the Knowledge Society Samantha Ouyang, TKS Activator Samantha is a 17 y/o TKS Activator who has been working in blockchain research and development for the past 18 months, taking special interest in the social impact of blockchain. She first started off by researching cryptography, the technical workings behind blockchain, and current limitations, publishing her own articles and videos explaining technical components and reviewing interesting applications. She then moved into blockchain development after teaching herself Solidity, building her own decentralized applications (dApps) and other blockchain-related projects to tackle global issues. This included dApps and frameworks to secure property rights in developing countries, prevent cyberattacks on nuclear power plants, render the pet industry more transparent, combat bias in AI, and reduce blood donation expiry, winning hackathons and other competitions that allowed her to present her ideas to companies such as S&P Global. Her efforts compounded and she was soon presented with a job offer. For 5 months, she worked as a smart contract developer at ViewFin, a global fintech company based in Toronto and Shanghai. As the youngest employee, she integrated a decentralized indexing protocol into the company's token exchange platform and spearheaded her own project there to prevent child labour in the chocolate supply chain. Over the summer, she got to conduct research on smart contract evolution under the guidance of a professor at the University of Waterloo as well. As she grew her network in the blockchain enterprise solutions community, she has also gotten the chance to moderate fireside chats with leaders in the blockchain industry and spark insightful conversations on the potential of blockchain in ESG. She hopes to take her work in blockchain further by delving into IoT, bridging the gap between hardware and software so that she can innovate with the synergized power of both. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/crypto-hipster-podcast/support

Today we meet with two South Florida members of the Wolfpack, both of whom are rising juniors in their respective high schools. Theodore Ouyang, a student at Suncoast High School, has been working for several years on his CubeSat proposal, the FlipSat, which seeks to address the mitigation of bit flips in space. When his proposal was not selected by NASA's CSLI for funding, teammate William Mayville, who attends American Heritage, made it his mission to solve the funding issues that preclude many capable students and teams from achieving a launch. Today we will learn how the combination of their efforts may change the way CubeSats can be used as a disruptive educational tool.

主播：Sarrah | 翩翩歌曲 ： Me&God最近热播的《梦华录》（A Dream of Splendor），is quite popular in China，并且，it has high ratings（评分很高）。It has been trending online. 是上热搜的一部剧。今天，我们就和大家用英语聊一聊这部剧。1. A Dream of Splendor《梦华录》(1) Title名字：官方英文名叫做A Dream of Splendor。To dream of something指的是you greatly wish for it, but you might not get.（梦想得到什么东西，却可能得不到），比如说：to win the lottery（中彩票），这属于daydreaming（做白日梦）。Splendor means riches, wealth and fortune. 就是富丽堂皇，指的就是迷人眼的富贵。所以，《梦华录》的英文译名可以理解为：someone (or many people in the show) are wishing for a better life, a rich life, a comfortable life. 人们想要追寻更好的生活。(2)Genre类型：就像我们看韩剧、日剧、美剧、英剧，欧美人把我们的电视剧统一叫Chinese drama，古偶剧就是historical and romantic genres。(3)Aired更新：It's aired from Thursdays to Saturdays. 周四到周六更新。粉丝调侃说，不够看的，每集都盘出包浆了。(4)Episode剧集：Each episode was 45 minute long and the show has a total of 40 episodes.每集45分钟，一共40集。(5)The original network播出平台：It was released onTencent Video. 腾讯平台播放。《梦华录》已经出口到Youtube上了。(6)Four main stars主演：Zhao Pan'er (刘亦菲Crystal Liu饰)Gu Qianfan (陈晓Chen Xiao饰)Sun San Niang (柳岩Ada Liu饰)Song Yinzhang (林允Jelly Lin饰)2. A brief summary of the show剧情介绍Zhao Pan'er is a teahouse owner in Qiantang. 女主赵盼儿在钱塘开了一间茶楼。忽然收到好消息：her fiancé, Ouyang Xu was ranked third in the national civil examination. 未婚夫喜中探花。但欧阳旭却will now be marring the daughter of a high-ranking official（要另娶当朝高官之女）。不甘心的赵盼儿decides to go to Bianjing（决定前去汴京），想要hear the news from Ouyang himself（听到未婚夫亲口承认）。在去汴京的途中，our heroineZhao Pan'er遇见并救出了两个女人——宋引章和孙三娘，她们are suffering abuse in awful marriages（饱受婚姻的痛苦）。然后她们三个就一起travel to the capital。*heroine /ˈheroʊɪn/ n. 女主人公，女性英雄*abuse/əˈbjuːs/ n. 虐待后来，欧阳旭发现 his ex-fiancé is in the same city as him（前未婚妻和自己同城），he tries his best to make her leave（他想方设法让赵盼儿离开）。然而，赵盼儿三人决定stay in Bianjing and rely on their own skills and abilities to make a fortune（留在汴京，靠自己的的技能来挣前途）。她们open a small teahouse（开了个小茶馆），后来这个茶馆becomes a huge success（大获成功）! In fact, their shop turns into the largest restaurant in Bianjing. 最后，小小茶坊一步步发展为汴京最大的酒楼。这是这个故事比较励志的地方。通过这40集，我们能够看到Zhao Pan'er's struggles（奋斗）是如何give her better insight into her situation（让她更好地了解自己的处境），并且，helps resolve (or fix) her hatred towards Ouyang Xu（帮助解决（或解决）她对欧阳旭的仇恨）的。这些挑战，会让强者更强。*struggle/ˈstrʌɡl/ n. 奋斗，努力*insight /ˈɪnsaɪt/ n. 洞悉*hatred /ˈheɪtrɪd/ n. 憎恨赵盼儿通过努力，带着其他女性一起fighting for more equality（争取更多平等）。这种TV shows with strong female characters（大女主），也深受西方人的喜爱。3. 国外网友有何评价It's uploaded on YouTube.这部剧在YouTube上面上架了。*upload上传*download 下载It can be seen by a wider audience. 受众更广。西方人对这部剧什么反映？Let's look at some of the YouTube comments.[Comment 1]喜欢teahouse by the river, 还有beautiful scenery（美景）, 以及喜欢the feel of this drama (这部剧的感觉)。有机智的female lead（女主）。On to the next episodes!（期待后续剧情）全部都是地道的语料。[Comment 2]It also contains a lot of beautiful Chinese cultural elements! 包含了大量优美的中国文化元素。[Comment 3]Main leads are impressive. 主演们很赞！Loving the supporting actors too. 也爱配角。[Comment 4]非常喜欢演员用的原声instead of dubbing over （而不是配音）。*dub /dʌb/ v. 配音[Comment 5]这位说的比较直接：终于能有部剧有 a mature FL（female lead）（成熟的女主）了，而不是the childish one that will annoy you to death（幼稚的让人恼火的女主）。*mature /məˈtʃʊr/ adj. 成熟的These comments are just from the first episode! 第一集就好评如潮。It's great to see so many people fall in love with the drama so quickly. 非常开心我们中国的好剧能够在国外受追捧。It's happy to see that shows like A Dream of Splendor are doing so well. 很开心看到像《梦华录》这样的剧做得越来越好。It's worth a try. 光剧中的中国文化元素，就值得一观。请留言告诉我们：关于这部剧，大家还有什么想要聊的？可以留言告诉我们，下次咱们再聊！

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Deepmind's Gato: Generalist Agent, published by Daniel Kokotajlo on May 12, 2022 on LessWrong. From the abstract, emphasis mine: The agent, which we refer to as Gato, works as a multi-modal, multi-task, multi-embodiment generalist policy. The same network with the same weights can play Atari, caption images, chat, stackblocks with a real robot arm and much more, deciding based on its context whether to output text, joint torques, button presses, or other tokens. (Will edit to add more as I read. ETA: 1a3orn posted first.) It's only 1.2 billion parameters. (!!!) They say this was to avoid latency in the robot control task. It was trained offline, purely supervised, but could in principle be trained online, with RL, etc Performance results: The section on broader implications is interesting. Selected quote: In addition, generalist agents can take actions in the the physical world; posing new challenges that may require novel mitigation strategies. For example, physical embodiment could lead to users anthropomorphizing the agent, leading to misplaced trust in the case of a malfunctioning system, or be exploitable by bad actors. Additionally, while cross-domain knowledge transfer is often a goal in ML research, it could create unexpected and undesired outcomes if certain behaviors (e.g. arcade game fighting) are transferred to the wrong context. The ethics and safety considerations of knowledge transfer may require substantial new research as generalist systems advance. Technical AGI safety (Bostrom, 2017) may also become more challenging when considering generalist agents that operate in many embodiments. For this reason, preference learning, uncertainty modeling and value alignment (Russell, 2019) are especially important for the design of human-compatible generalist agents. It may be possible to extend some of the value alignment approaches for language (Kenton et al., 2021; Ouyang et al., 2022) to generalist agents. However, even as technical solutions are developed for value alignment, generalist systems could still have negative societal impacts even with the intervention of well-intentioned designers, due to unforeseen circumstances or limited oversight (Amodei et al., 2016). This limitation underscores the need for a careful design and a deployment process that incorporates multiple disciplines and viewpoints. They also do some scaling analysis and yup, you can make it smarter by making it bigger. What do I think about all this? Eh, I guess it was already priced in. I think me + most people in the AI safety community would have predicted this. I'm a bit surprised that it works as well as it does for only 1.2B parameters though. Thanks for listening.

Episode 65 is with Harsehaj Dhami and Samantha Ouyang, two International Baccalaureate high school students based in Toronto. Harsehaj is an impact driven student working to bridge the healthcare access gap to low income families and those struggling with their mental health. She is currently helping build a health startup based out of San Francisco that has just raised their seed-round. In her personal projects, she's working on modelling CNN (convolutional neural networks) that uses brain EEG scans to diagnose depression. Samantha is a goal oriented student, passionate about using STEM, design, engineering and innovation to create lasting change in the world. Having started off in competitive programming at an early age, her experiences led her to founding, Superposition Toronto, a non-profit that helps to bridge the gender gap in STEM. Samantha and Harsehaj have both crossed paths in The Knowledge Society - where cohorts of students are encouraged to solve the world's biggest problems using emerging technologies. They have both previously worked together on a project focussed on removing chemical pollutants from drinking water. We talk to Harsehaj and Samantha about their respective journeys in the tech space, the various differences in education and culture between generations, the influence of asian households, and much more. This was such an insightful conversation that brought to light the various evolutions of education, life, culture, and tech through the years. We hope you enjoy!

This podcasts elaborates on some supplementary materials in the forestry publication by Zhang et al. (2022). Based on this research it briefly presents details of ten Forestation Programs in China and their contexts and objectives. Those are large-scale and long-term landscape projects with various aims and goals, increasing the forest area in China, and sometimes beyond. Grasslands and steeply sloped mountain areas play a specific role. Those programs improve poverty and rural development but are often not so well known abroad, and thus they are presented and discussed here as first pointers and for consideration and debate with the wider global audience. The increase of forest area and carbon sequestration, as well as avoidance of erosion through designed shelterbelts, often stand as main goals. See also the references by Chen et al.

The Power that Improvements on Supply Chains using Blockchain has on Global Social Impact, with Samantha Ouyang and TKS This is part 2 of a 4 part continuing series on the Knowledge Society Samantha Ouyang, TKS Activator Samantha is a 17 y/o TKS Activator who has been working in blockchain research and development for the past 18 months, taking special interest in the social impact of blockchain. She first started off by researching cryptography, the technical workings behind blockchain, and current limitations, publishing her own articles and videos explaining technical components and reviewing interesting applications. She then moved into blockchain development after teaching herself Solidity, building her own decentralized applications (dApps) and other blockchain-related projects to tackle global issues. This included dApps and frameworks to secure property rights in developing countries, prevent cyberattacks on nuclear power plants, render the pet industry more transparent, combat bias in AI, and reduce blood donation expiry, winning hackathons and other competitions that allowed her to present her ideas to companies such as S&P Global. Her efforts compounded and she was soon presented with a job offer. For 5 months, she worked as a smart contract developer at ViewFin, a global fintech company based in Toronto and Shanghai. As the youngest employee, she integrated a decentralized indexing protocol into the company's token exchange platform and spearheaded her own project there to prevent child labour in the chocolate supply chain. Over the summer, she got to conduct research on smart contract evolution under the guidance of a professor at the University of Waterloo as well. As she grew her network in the blockchain enterprise solutions community, she has also gotten the chance to moderate fireside chats with leaders in the blockchain industry and spark insightful conversations on the potential of blockchain in ESG. She hopes to take her work in blockchain further by delving into IoT, bridging the gap between hardware and software so that she can innovate with the synergized power of both. Jamil Hasan is a crypto and blockchain focused podcast host at the Irish Tech News and spearheads our weekend content “The Crypto Corner” where he interviews founders, entrepreneurs and global thought leaders.

Today, there are about 27 million app developers worldwide, it's a big, diverse and dynamic community of mobile software developers who build apps for iOS and Android. If you ever watched the Apple's keynote presentations at WWDC, you saw some of them talking about apps they pour their heart into. It's remarkable to see the commitment of these people to develop an app that will make a difference in somebody's life. Now, at the same time they develop apps to make a living. What is the state of app monetization today? To answer this question we've invited Linda. Today's Topics Include: The Linda's background spans from being a part of the Yahoo team, moving to MoPub team and ultimately becoming a part of the Twitter team and finally joining Fyber - a Digital Turbine company Fyber if the leading monetization platform helping app businesses grow revenue How app publishers adopting to the Apple's SKAdNetwork The impact of COVID-19 to the app publishers business in 2020 and 2021 What should be the focus of app publishers right now, in the midst of this Holiday season Challenges app publishers are facing right now Android or iOS? iOS What features would Linda miss most?

We thought we were done with the Song, but we just cannot get enough of it. Now, we are going back to Ouyang Xiu with a poem that features in a translation of a late Qing thinker that Rob is working on. The poem is by Ouyang Xiu, and Rob and Lee disagree about how to read it...no surprises there. 

On this Episode of QLN, we have the pleasure of hearing a story that is not only about sobriety, but it's also about self empowerment, self trust, and, most importantly, self love. Christina Ouyang is a queer ally, a nightlife enthusiast, and a sober person, exuding inspiration to people who want to start their sober journey. By night time you find her at New York City's newest queer night club, The Q, and by day she helps cultivate the colorful world of fashion. In this conversation Christina opens up about the importance of cultural representation, trusting yourself, being present, and more importantly the power in knowing and understanding your triggers. Sobriety doesn't mean isolation or the absence of thrill. Sobriety is a new beginning to a life of fulfilling your goals, chasing your dreams, and having fun while being present for the ones you love.

What was your college computer science experience like? Did it have helpful levels of collaboration and teamwork? Were you able to learn from other students? Or was it like mine where it was mostly divide and conquer in isolation? What would it be like if a computer science course were designed to not only teach you how to code but also how to have healthy collaboration, vulnerability, kindness, consideration, and respect?  Join Chris and Austin as they discuss with their former professor Youwen Ouyang about her past and current applications of #MobProgramming in Intro Comp-Sci Courses where she shares challenges, strategies, and benefits of this approach. FYI: Video and show notes to be posted here in the next day or so.

Today is the last in our podcast series on the Song (we think...). Our subject, Ouyang Xiu is one of the most famous literatis of the 11th century, and he helped inspire the turn towards antiquarianism in Chinese culture. He was obsessed with collecting old stuff, particularly epigraphs (writing carved into rocks or other medium). This is a short prose passage/poem where we see Ouyang Xiu beginning to develop this obsession. The passage is taken from Stephen Owen's Anthology of Chinese Literature.

In Episode 22, we discuss a paper by Cangiano, Parker, and Ouyang (2021) that explores how proactivity and taking charge at work can make it hard to detach and recover at home. They found people who did take charge found it harder to detach and recover at night unless they were people who were motivated to be autonomous.

Erasing Shame co-hosts talk with Tim Ouyang (singer and songwriter of Tim Be Told) about living in the multiple dimensions and layers of life as an Asian American of Chinese descent, and how he's navigating the intersectionality of sexuality, ethnicity, and faith, finding a way of healing and meaning, and telling a better and more beautiful story through it all.

Sometimes, taking charge or being proactive at work can reap some amazing benefits. However, there are times where it isn't the healthiest thing to do. Today, we discuss when taking charge at work is bad for you and when you should be saying ‘no'.

We Wrote in Symbols: Love and Lust by Arab Women Writers brings together fiction and poetry by more than 70 women over a span of more than 1500 years. Editor Selma Dabbagh talks about why it's hard to write about sex, and the difficult balance of reaching readers. Show Notes:  The digital launch of We Wrote in Symbols, published by Saqi Books, is scheduled for April 29, hosted by the Arab British Centre. Hanan al-Shaykh, Yasmine Seale, Saida Rouass, lisa luxx, and collection editor Selma Dabbagh will be there. There will also be a workshop launch with Marina Warner, Wen-chin Ouyang, and Emily Selove at Birbeck in June, as part of their Arabic in Translation series. The collection drew classic works from, among other places, two anthologies: Classical Poems by Arab Women: A Bilingual Anthology, edited and translated by Abdullah al Udhari, and The Poetry of Arab Women from the Pre-Islamic Age to Andalusia, edited and translated by Wessam Elmeligi. Shereen El Feki's Sex and the Citadel: Intimate Life in a Changing Arab World was published in 2013. Leila Slimani's Sex and Lies: True Stories of Women's Intimate Lives in the Arab World was translated by Sophie Lewis and came out last year. Lina Mounzer's “Going Beyond the Veil” talks about navigating the rocky territory of writing about sex as an Arab woman.

Mary Beard, Homi Bhabha and Seán Williams join Shahidha Bari to look at the etiquette of talks on zoom and the history of lectures. Lecturing someone can be a negative: you’re patronising or boring or telling them what to think. And yet, today we have TED talks, university staff are routinely recording lectures using video conferencing technology, and the history of thought is a history of persuasive speakers setting out their ideas before audiences. Dr Seán Williams is a BBC/AHRC New Generation Thinker who lectures in German intellectual and cultural history at the University of Sheffield. Mary Beard is a Dame and Professor of Classics at the University of Cambridge and has given various lectures at universities, the British Museum and the London Review of Books, the Society for Classical Studies, the Gifford Lecture Series.

The United States has been conducting the census for some two centuries, but Donald Trump and his cronies have a new idea of how to do it that involves screwing it up entirely in service to a racist, nativist project.

Abstract: Purpose: To investigate the neuroanatomical underpinning of healthy macaque brain cortical microstructure measured by diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) which characterizes non-Gaussian water diffusion. Methods: High-resolution DKI was acquired from 6 postmortem macaque brains. Neurofilament density (ND) was quantified based on structure tensor from neurofilament histological images of a different macaque brain sample. After alignment of DKI-derived mean kurtosis (MK) maps to the histological images, MK and histology-based ND were measured at corresponding regions of interests characterized by distinguished cortical MK values in the prefrontal/precentral-postcentral and temporal cortices. Pearson correlation was performed to test significant correlation between these cortical MK and ND measurements. Results: Heterogeneity of cortical MK across different cortical regions was revealed, with significantly and consistently higher MK measurements in the prefrontal/precentral-postcentral cortex compared to those in the temporal cortex across all 6 scanned macaque brains. Corresponding higher ND measurements in the prefrontal/precentral-postcentral cortex than in the temporal cortex were also found. The heterogeneity of cortical MK is associated with heterogeneity of histology-based ND measurements, with significant correlation between cortical MK and corresponding ND measurements (P

Abstract: Biological motors, ubiquitous in living systems, convert chemical energy into different kinds of mechanical motions critical to cellular functions. Most of these biomotors belong to a group of enzymes known as ATPases, which adopt a multi-subunit ring-shaped structure and hydrolyze adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to generate forces. The gene product 16 (gp16), an ATPase in bacteriophage {square}29, is among the most powerful biomotors known. It can overcome substantial resisting forces from entropic, electrostatic, and DNA bending sources to package double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) into a preformed protein shell (procapsid). Despite numerous studies of the {square}29 packaging mechanism, a structure of the full-length gp16 is still lacking, let alone that of the packaging motor complex that includes two additional molecular components: a connector gp10 protein and a prohead RNA (pRNA). Here we report the crystal structure of the C-terminal domain of gp16 (gp16-CTD). Structure-based alignment of gp16-CTD with related RNase H-like nuclease domains revealed a nucleic acid binding surface in gp16-CTD, whereas no nuclease activity has been detected for gp16. Subsequent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations showed that this nucleic acid binding surface is likely essential for pRNA binding. Furthermore, our simulations of a full-length gp16 structural model highlighted a dynamic interplay between the N-terminal domain (NTD) and CTD of gp16, which may play a role in driving DNA movement into the procapsid, providing structural support to the previously proposed inchworm model. Lastly, we assembled an atomic structural model of the complete {square}29 dsDNA packaging motor complex by integrating structural and experimental data from multiple sources. Collectively, our findings provided a refined inchworm-revolution model for dsDNA translocation in bacteriophage {square}29 and suggested how the individual domains of gp16 work together to power such translocation.

Dr Carolyn Lam: Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast summary and backstage pass to the journal and it's editors. I'm Dr Carolyn Lam, associate editor from the National Heart Center and Duke National University of Singapore. And I am so privileged to be joined by Senior Associate Editors whom I respect and admire so much. And they are Dr Biykem Bozkurt from Baylor College of Medicine and Dr Sana Al-Khatib from Duke University. And we have three woman discussing the Go Red for Women issue. Yes!                                 The current issue is the third Go Red for Women issue and boy, is it a bonanza issue. It tackles a wide spectrum of topics relating to cardiovascular disease in women, including prevention, risk stratification, myocardial infarction, pregnancy, heart failure, cardiac arrest, sudden cardiac death, and in so many wonderful formats; from original papers to systematic reviews, state-of-the-art papers, in-depth reviews, a research letter, and even frame of reference papers.                                 So, let’s get digging into this issue, shall we? And Biykem, we could start with you because I'd like to start with three original papers that really set the scene. The first discussed temporal changes and the very contemporary data from 2001 to 2016, describing cardiovascular risk factors and their treatment. And then the second focuses on young females with acute myocardial infarction. And the third on older women. Could you take us through these papers Biykem? Dr Biykem Bozkurt:         Lets first start looking at the sex differences through the Anne Haines Survey which enrolled more than 35000 patients. And they examined the trend all the way back from 2000 to 2016. Now the good news is the improvement in hypertension diabetes hyperlipidemia in woman were similar to men. So that's the good news. But BMI increased more in women than in men and overall, the ability to control blood pressure and diabetes hyperlipidemia appear to be a little bit better for women than in men.                                 But the concerning trend becomes apparent when we look at another paper that examined the twenty-year trend in young adults. Now, the first message is, and this is important for both genders, the proportion of the hospitalizations that are attributable to young patients, and young patients are defined as ages between 35 and 54 in this study, and this study was from Erik, increased from 1995 to 2014. So young patients appear to be having more in life compared to before, compared to 1990s and the 2000s. And that was actually partly due to the increasing prevalence of comorbidities, such as hypertension diabetes among young patients.                                 Now, interestingly among young patients, young women presenting with [inaudible] had a lower likelihood of receiving guideline directed therapy which, of course, sound familiar to our audience because we have the disparities of lower treatments and lower access to care in women with MI presentation compared to men. And unfortunately, again this will sound like the former news, the pre-hospital mortality was quite high in young women and has declined less in young women, compared to men.                                 So, the Erik study highlights the disparity for young women compared to young men. And then we have to recognize that most young patients in my hospitalization attributed to young patients is increasing. So this is probably a population that we need to be aware of. Regarding the older patients, there is a publication from the Opach Study looking at the sedentary behavior and cardiovascular disease in older women. And they looked at more than 5500 patients aged between 63 and all the way up until 97. And they looked at sedentary time and they looked at the duration of sedentary time all the way over eleven hours in some of the patients. And of course the higher the sedentary time was, the worse the cardiovascular disease risk was amongst the older women. So now we are recognizing that among older women, the post-menopausal or elderly women, the risk of cardiovascular disease rises with sedentary lifestyle.                                 And I think these three papers highlight the overall trend that we tend to see, maybe, better emphasis for comorbidity control. But at the same time we are now starting to recognize that in younger patients, especially in younger women the risk of MI is on the rise. And in older women, activity and remaining active and not having too much sedentary time are important to prevent cardiovascular disease. Dr Carolyn Lam: Oh, Biykem, thank you for framing that so beautifully. So some good news, some bad news, and certainly some things we should be looking out for. You know, in another patient group that we always need to touch on when we talk about the Go Red for Women issue is pregnant women, or post-pregnancy. Could you comment, perhaps, on the systematic review that we have? Dr Biykem Bozkurt: This is a very comprehensive, systematic review looking at the cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality in women with a history of pregnancy complications. And they provide detailed systematic review and method analysis. It's becoming more apparent that the spectrum of cardiovascular disease ranges all the way from preeclampsia to arrythmia to pericardial myopathy. And we're recognizing this continuum both in the peripartum period, at the same time as the future risk. So those with preeclampsia and premature birth and delivery are associated with lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease. So, I think this paper is providing the right overview and a very comprehensive meta-analysis recognizing that pregnancy led to complications and morbidity and mortality in women. Dr Carolyn Lam: Indeed. And it does just add so nicely to this issue, you know? Letting us know that we should watch out for the young women. We should watch out for the sedentary older women. And we should watch out for women with a history of pregnancy complications. But let’s switch tracks now. Sana, there was an amazing autopsy paper, actually, relating to sudden death in women. And as well as another original paper focusing on out of hospital cardiac arrest that is really very interesting. Would you like to tell us about those two? Dr Sana Al-Khatib: Oh absolutely. I would love to. As someone who has devoted her life to the study of sudden cardiac death and you know, identifying factors, prevention. I really like that the paper looking at the risk of cardiac death in women and men. This study, Carolyn, was conducting in Finland, and the aim of the study was to determine autopsy findings and causes of death among women in a large population of sudden cardiac death.                                 They also were able to classify some EKG characteristics in men and women cardiac death victims. That really added helpful information. To do that, they systematically collected clinical and autopsy data from sudden cardiac death victims in Northern Finland between 1998 and 2017. So they actually had data on close to 5870 SCD victims. The findings were very interesting because they found that victims were significantly older than that. You know, so when they provided the median age it was 70 years for women versus 63 for men. So that was a significant difference there. And when they looked at the most frequently identified cause of death, they found that it was ischemic heart disease in both factions. Seventy two percent in women verses seventy six percent among men. And what was really striking about this was that the seventy two percent presence among women was higher than what had been reported in other theories.                                 They also reported that women were more likely to have lung ischemic cause of sudden cardiac death than men. It commented on the fact that primary myocardiac fibrosis was more likely to be found in woman victims rather than in men. And then they were able to identify some EKG factors stating that, in general, women were more likely to have a prior normal EKG than men. But that it increased the marker for sudden cardiac death with the presence of MDH with the polarization changes that were more commonly seen in women.                                 So, I thought that the findings were really interesting. They sure to be advance the field. Dr Carolyn Lam: I couldn't agree more. Sex differences in sudden cardiac death. I don't think many people could tell you they knew much about it at all before this paper. And what about at a hospital cardiac arrest? Dr Sana Al-Khatib: So, the other paper, which was really interesting, was a study that really looked at the public perception on why women receive less bystander CPR than men in out of hospital cardiac arrest. And this was an observation that was made a long time ago, Carolyn. So what's interesting for these investigators to be able to shed some light on this observation. What they did was they conducted a national survey of members of the public. And they were able to get 548 people to respond. Not a very high response rate, but pretty good for getting qualitative research studies. About fifty percent of the responders were women, so it was important to note that. And there was a good geographic distribution of the people; this was done in the U.S. And after they corrected their data, and they analyzed their data, the major thing emerged in terms of why the public perceived that women received less bystander CPR. The findings were really interesting.                                 The first finding was that people were concerned about being accused of sexual assault if they were to do CPR on the woman, which was interesting. Some actually were concerned that women were too weak or too frail. If they were to ever do CPR, might they cause any bone fractures, any injuries to the woman because they're more fragile, so to speak, than men. And their last theme was misperceptions about women in medical distress. What that meant was they felt that, well, you know, are women actually victims of sudden cardiac death? Yes, definitely, women can have sudden cardiac arrest and some people said, "Well, sometimes women can be overly dramatic and so maybe those presentations were not real presentations of sudden cardiac arrest," which I thought was really interesting.                                 I felt these were really interesting insights into why women don't receive CPR as much as men, and hopefully future interventions can be targeting these misconceptions or these concerns that the public has about doing CPR on women. Dr Carolyn Lam: Isn't that so intriguing. The misconception that women are either too shy, too frail, or too dramatic. Oh my goodness. Anyway, that was all the original papers, which were fantastic. But I have to admit that one of the things that I love most about the Go Red for Women issues is that it talks about women in cardiology. And Biykem, you've always been such a huge mentor to me. And what I love about this issue is that there are a few papers, aren't there, that actually focus on the importance of this mentorship. Could you tell us about that? Dr Biykem Bozkurt: It's a very important concept that I think is underlying a few papers in our issue. The first one is women in cardiology and perhaps the lack of increase in the representation of women in cardiology. Even though women make up about half of our medical graduates, among practicing cardiologists women comprise less than about twelve to fifteen percent of the population. That perhaps disparity hasn't changed in the last two decades. We tend to sometimes compare our profession to the surgical field, and I think gender inequality appears to be a little bit similar to general surgery and orthopedic.                                 But the paper by Ziman underlines the following: Even though our gender inequality is similar to the surgical field, to look at the temporal trends there has been a significant rise in female representation in general surgery. And actually, among medical trainees, about one third of the medical trainees, not fifty percent like us, one third of the medical trainees are in surgical fields after they go to medical school. But the female representation has been steadily increasing in the surgical fields; about three-fold out of cardiology. Whereas female representation cardiology has the main slot, so the surgical fields are doing a better job in either welcoming, supporting, and mentoring their female trainees than the cardiology field.                                 This is an important concept for us to recognize, and usually the disparity reasons are perceived to be gender and lifestyle and/or personal preferences. That doesn't appear to be the case. Perhaps the better role models and better mentorship could eliminate this disparity and this is underlined in the Olmein Mein paper by Ziman.                                 Another paper by Sharon Hunt also underlines this concept. She portrays the woman needed in cardiac transplantation from a historical and personal perspective, and underlines the following: We tend to have a large number of woman leaders in advance heart failure and cardiac transplantation. And part of this may be attributed to the fact that women have been part of the fabric, part of the readership, part of the group that has developed the field and has been practicing. And thus, there has not been a nation or incorporation of the women in the field. And thus, since they've been involved in the practice from the beginning, they have been seen as a natural partner. Even though cardiac transplantation is quite demanding, requires bedside presence, and hours which are usually used as a reason for women not to go into certain fields, such as interventional. In transplant, we don't seem to have that much disparity for women. Women tend to select this field on one of the reasons in Sharon Hunt's piece is identified as being part of the team from the beginning, and having good role models and mentors.                                 And finally, there is a research letter that identifies if the corresponding author is a female author. There is a large representation of co-authors. This is a very interesting finding by Ouyang stating that even though the female to male senior authorship rates have not been different over the years, if the senior author or the corresponding author is a female there tends to be a higher number of co-authors. This may suggest that female corresponding authors are able to mentor or include their partners or team members. Or vice versa, female co-authors may feel more invited and incorporated as a team. So, this paper also underlines that women in leadership positions connected to cardiology may serve as positive role models to recruit and retain talented junior female investigators. Dr Carolyn Lam: Ah, indeed, indeed, indeed. So many topics that come close to my own heart. But Sana, among the numerous other papers here, we have two state of the art papers, two in-depth reviews, there are three frame of reference papers. Which one, or ones, stood out to you? Dr San Al-Khatib: One important paper, Carolyn, you certainly mentioned is an online paper that was titled "Why are Young Black Women as High Risk for Cardiovascular Disease". I personally like this paper a lot because it highlights such an important issue that has great impact on public health. And sometimes the population of young black women may go unrecognized in terms of their risk of cardiovascular disease and what have you. So really the On My Mind paper tackles what are these things that are driving the worsening cardiovascular disease trends in this patient population. And what can we do about it? And they talk about how the awareness of heart disease and the leading cause of death among these women is actually more among black patients. And so, they talk about the need to really implement multi-level strategies to try to address this, raise awareness, identify disparities in care. They even also call for really investing in black women scientists.                                 And so, this was such a really good paper and I'm sure that the readers will enjoy it as much as I have. Dr Carolyn Lam: Oh, thank you so much for that, Sana. That really, really makes for such a rich issue with such a lot of different papers. We're running out of time, so we don't even have the opportunity to really discuss, but I want to mention these so that the listeners will look out for them. Beyond the papers we've already discussed, we have state-of-the-art papers on cardiovascular care in women veterans and the management of cardiovascular disease in women with breast cancer. We even have two in-depth reviews. One on sex differences in advance heart failure therapies and a second on the role of breast arterial calcification in cardiovascular risk stratification in women. And finally, there's a research letter on the size of thoracic aortic aneurysms in women. So many papers, such a beautiful, beautiful issue. I just want to thank you both Sana and Biykem for leading this beautiful Go Red for Women issue.                                 Thank you, listeners, for joining us today. You've been listening to Circulation on the Run. Don't forget to tune in again next week.                                 This program is copyright American Heart Association 2019.

You would think that finally quelling the largest rebellion on Earth would bring the realm back into peaceful harmony. Unfortunately for the Tang, you'd be wrong. While China was forced to spend every waking moment in the Northeast desperately trying to drive back An Lushan for the past 7 years, the Tibetans went ahead and moved in from the West, cutting off Chinese access to the Far West Protectorate, and by 763 poised to deliver a devastating broadside to the already-devastated Tang Empire. And as if that's not enough, in the middle of all this, a loyal military commander has false accusations of treason leveled against him by a paranoid regional official, but then through a series of zany happenstances is forced to actually rebel against the government for fear of being convicted and killed for the initial false charges.

Reeling from the loss of both capital cities to the rebel army, Emperor Xuanzong and his heir Li Heng split up. Three days later from the northern garrison at Lingwu, the Crowned Prince declares himself the new emperor, Suzong – surprise, Dad! Newly enthroned, Suzong will be forced to cobble together an unlikely coalition of China's neighbors in order to have any hope of turning the tide of the civil war that threatens to drown the Tang Dynasty in blood. Arabs, Transoxianans, Ferghanans, and even Uyghur Stepperiders will join forces with a corps of Han Chinese soldiers willing to die to the last man if it means stopping An Lushan and his Yan rebel army in its tracks.

This month, Ryan talks to the Australian poet, Ouyang Yu. Born in China, Yu is a controversial figure within Australian literature, often exploring the dilemmas of transnational artists caught between different literary, cultural and linguistic traditions in a raw, uncompromising style that he has made his own (Yu himself refers to the ‘polished’ poem as “an arse wiped clean”). In this interview, Ryan and Ouyang discuss language barriers, mis-prints and the importance of making 'creative mistakes'. Plus, more poetry sparks!

Celebrated poet, author, translator, academic and critic Ouyang Yu discusses the challenges of operating in 2 languages with Canberra poet Melinda Smith.

It's three hundred years since the death of Antoine Galland, a French orientalist and archaeologist, whose translation of The One Thousand and One Nights kick-started its adventures in the West via the works of English orientalists, Richard Burton, Edward Lane and John Payne. Philip Dodd asks a panel of experts on these hugely influential tales, plus story-tellers who continue to wrest new life out of them. He talks to Scholars Robert Irwin and Wen-chin Ouyang, the theatre director Tim Supple and Lebanese novelist Hanan al-Shaykh.

We discuss translation, identity, the value of mistakes and the virtues of bad poetry with the prolific novelist, translator and poet Ouyang Yu, who Ryan interviewed in Darwin, Australia earlier this year. Ouyang reads a number of his poems and discusses the experience of being a Chinese poet who has been living and working in Australia for the past 20 years and how this affects his practice.
