Pearls The Denervated Heart: The donor heart is surgically severed from the autonomic nervous system, leading to a higher resting heart rate (90-110 bpm) due to loss of vagal tone. Because the heart relies on circulating catecholamines rather than neural input to increase heart rate, patients experience a delayed chronotropic response to exercise and stress. Importantly, because afferent pain fibers are severed, ischemia is often painless. Rejection Surveillance: Rejection is classified into Acute Cellular Rejection (ACR), which is T-cell mediated, and Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR), which is B-cell mediated. While endomyocardial biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis, non-invasive surveillance using gene-expression profiling (e.g., AlloMap) and donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) is increasingly utilized to reduce the burden of invasive procedures. The Infection Timeline: The risk of infection follows a predictable timeline based on the intensity of immunosuppression. The first month is dominated by nosocomial infections. Months one through six are the peak for opportunistic infections (Cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis, Toxoplasmosis) requiring prophylaxis. After six months, patients are primarily at risk for community-acquired pathogens, though late viral reactivation can occur. Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV): Unlike native coronary artery disease, CAV presents as diffuse, concentric intimal thickening that affects the entire length of the vessel, including the microvasculature. Due to denervation, patients rarely present with angina; instead, CAV manifests as unexplained heart failure, fatigue, or sudden cardiac death. Malignancy Risk: Long-term immunosuppression significantly increases the risk of malignancy. Skin cancers (squamous and basal cell) are the most common, followed by Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder (PTLD), which is often driven by Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) reactivation. Notes Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Patlolla 1. What are the unique physiological features of the transplanted heart? The hallmark of the transplanted heart is denervation. Because the autonomic nerve fibers are severed during harvest, the heart loses parasympathetic or vagal tone, resulting in a resting tachycardia (typically 90-110 bpm). The heart also loses the ability to mount a reflex tachycardia; thus, the heart rate response to exercise or hypovolemia relies on circulating catecholamines, which results in a slower “warm-up” and “cool-down” period during exertion. 2. What are the pillars of maintenance immunosuppression regimen? The triple drug maintenance regimen typically consists of: Calcineurin Inhibitor (CNI): Tacrolimus is preferred over cyclosporine. Key side effects include nephrotoxicity, hypertension, tremor, hyperkalemia, and hypomagnesemia. Antimetabolite: Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) inhibits lymphocyte proliferation. Key side effects include leukopenia and GI distress. Corticosteroids: Prednisone is used for maintenance but is often weaned to low doses or discontinued after the first year to mitigate metabolic side effects (diabetes, osteoporosis, weight gain). 3. How is rejection classified and diagnosed? Rejection is the immune system’s response to the foreign graft and is categorized by the arm of the immune system involved: Acute Cellular Rejection (ACR): Mediated by T-lymphocytes infiltrating the myocardium. It is graded from 1R (mild) to 3R (severe) based on the extent of infiltration and myocyte damage. Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR): Mediated by B-cells producing donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) that attack the graft endothelium. It is diagnosed via histology (capillary swelling) and immunofluorescence (C4d staining). Diagnosis has historically relied on endomyocardial biopsy. However, non-invasive tools are gaining traction. Gene Expression Profiling (GEP) assesses the expression of genes associated with immune activation to rule out rejection in low-risk patients. Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA (dd-cfDNA) measures the fraction of donor DNA in the recipient’s blood. Elevated levels suggest graft injury which can occur in both ACR and AMR. 4. What is the timeline of infectious risk and how does it guide prophylaxis? Infectious risk correlates with the net state of immunosuppression. < 1 Month (Nosocomial): Risks include surgical site infections, catheter-associated infections, and aspiration pneumonia. 1 – 6 Months (Opportunistic): This is the period of peak immunosuppression. Patients are at risk for PJP, CMV, Toxoplasma, and fungal infections. Prophylaxis typically includes Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (for PJP/Toxo) and Valganciclovir (for CMV, dependent on donor/recipient serostatus). > 6 Months (Community-Acquired): As immunosuppression is weaned, the risk profile shifts toward community-acquired respiratory viruses (Influenza, RSV) and pneumonias. However, patients with recurrent rejection requiring boosted immunosuppression remain at risk for opportunistic pathogens. 5. How does Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV) differ from native CAD? CAV is the leading cause of late graft failure. Unlike the focal, eccentric plaques seen in native atherosclerosis, CAV is an immunologically driven process causing diffuse, concentric intimal hyperplasia. It affects both epicardial vessels and the microvasculature. Because of this diffuse nature, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is often technically difficult and provides only temporary palliation. The only definitive treatment for severe CAV is re-transplantation. Surveillance is critical and is typically performed via annual coronary angiography, often using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to detect early intimal thickening before it is visible on the angiogram.

Our Global Chief Economist Seth Carpenter joins our chief regional economists to discuss the outlook for interest rates in the U.S., Japan and Europe.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Seth Carpenter: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Seth Carpenter, Morgan Stanley's Global Chief Economist and Head of Macro Research. And today we're kicking off our quarterly economic roundtable for the year. We're going to try to think about everything that matters in economics around the world. And today we're going to focus a little bit more on central banking. And when we get to tomorrow, we'll focus on the nuts and bolts of the real side of the economy. I'm joined by our chief regional economists. Michael Gapen: Hi, Seth. I'm Mike Gapen, Chief U.S. Economist at Morgan Stanley. Chetan Ahya: I'm Chetan Ahya, Chief Asia economist. Jens Eisenschmidt: And I'm Jens Eisenschmidt, Chief Europe economist. Seth Carpenter: It's Thursday, January 22nd at 10 am in New York. Jens Eisenschmidt: And 4 pm in Frankfurt. Chetan Ahya: And 9 pm in Hong Kong. Seth Carpenter: So, Mike Gapen, let me start with you as we head into 2026, what are we thinking about? Are we going into a more stable expansion? Is this just a different phase with the same amount of volatility? What do you think is going to be happening in the U.S. as a baseline outlook? And then if we're going to be wrong, which direction would we be wrong? Michael Gapen: Yeah, Seth, we took the view that we would have more policy certainty. Recent weeks have maybe suggested we're incorrect on that front. But I still believe that when it comes to deregulation, immigration policy and fiscal policy, we have much more clarity there than we did a year ago. So, I think it's another year of modest growth, above trend growth. We're forecasting something around 2.4 percent for 2026. That's about where we finished 2025. I think what's key for markets and the outlook overall will be whether inflation comes down. Firms are still passing through tariffs to the consumer. We think that'll happen at least through the end of the first quarter. It's our view that after that, inflation pressures will start to diminish. If that's the case, then we think the Fed can execute one or two more rate cuts. But we have those coming [in] the second half of the year. So, it looks like growth is strong enough. The labor market has stabilized enough for the Fed to wait and see, to look around, see the effects of their prior rate cuts, and then push policy closer to neutral if inflation comes down. Seth Carpenter: And if we go back to last year to 2025, I will give you the credit first. Morgan Stanley did not shift its forecast for recession in the U.S. the way some of our main competitors did. On the other hand, and this is where I maybe tweak you just a little bit. We underestimated how much growth there would be in the United States. CapEx spending from AI firms was strong. Consumer spending, especially from the top half of the income distribution in the U.S. was strong. Growth overall for the year was over 2 percent, close to 2.5 percent. So, if that's what we just came off of, why isn't it the case that we'd see even stronger growth? Maybe even a re-acceleration of growth in 2026? Michael Gapen: Well, some of that, say, improvement vis-à-vis our forecast, the outperformance. Some of that I think comes mechanically from trade and inventory variability. So, . I'm not sure that that says a lot about an improving trend rate of growth. Where there was other outperformance was, as you noted, from the consumer. Now our models, and I don't mean to get too technical here, but our model suggests that consumption is overshooting its fundamentals. Which I think makes it harder for the economy to accelerate further. And then AI; it's harder for AI spending to say get incrementally stronger than where it is. So, we're getting a little extra boost from fiscal. We've got that coming through. And I just think what it is, is more of the same rather than further acceleration from here. Seth Carpenter: Do you think there's a chance that the Fed in fact does not cut rates like you have in your forecast? Michael Gapen: Yes, I do think... Where we could be wrong is we've made assumptions around the One Big Beautiful Bill and what it will contribute to the economy. But as you know, there's a lot of variability around those estimates. If the bill is more catalytic to animal spirits and business spending than we've assumed, you could get, say, a demand driven animal spirits upside to the economy, which may mean inflation doesn't decelerate all that much. But I do think that that's, say, the main upside risk that we're considering. Markets have been gradually taking out probabilities of Fed cuts as growth has come in stronger. So far, the inflation data has been positive in terms of signaling about disinflation, but I would say the jury's still out on how much that continues. Seth Carpenter: Chetan, When I think about Japan, we know that it's been the developed market central bank that's been going in the opposite direction. They've been hiking when other central banks have been cutting. We got some news recently that probably put some risk into our baseline outlook that we published in our year ahead view about both growth and inflation in Japan. And with it what the Bank of Japan is going to do in terms of its normalization. Can you just walk us through a little bit about our outlook for Japan? Because right now I think that the yen, Japanese rates, they're all part of the ongoing market narrative around the world. Chetan Ahya: Yeah, Seth. So, look, I mean, on a big picture basis, we are constructive on the Japan macro-outlook. We think normal GDP growth remains strong. We are expecting to see the transition for the consumers from them seeing, you know, supply side inflation. Keeping their real wage growth low to a dynamic where we transition to real wage growth accelerating. That supports real consumption growth, and we move away from that supply side driven inflation to demand side driven inflation. So broadly we are constructive, but I think in the backdrop, what we are seeing on currency depreciation is making things a bit more challenging for the BOJ. While we are expecting that demand side pressure to build up and drive inflation, in the trailing data, it is still pretty much currency depreciation and supply side factors like food inflation driving inflation. And so, BOJ has been hesitant. So, while we had the expectation that BOJ will hike in January of 2027, we do see the risk that they may have to take up rate hike earlier to manage the currency not getting out of hand and adding on to the inflation pressures. Seth Carpenter Would I be right in saying that up until now, the yen has swung pretty widely in both directions. But the weakening of the yen until now hasn't been really the key driver of the Bank of Japan's policy reaction. It's been growth picking up, inflation picking up, wanting to get out of negative interest rates first, wanting to get away from the zero lower bounds. Second, the weaker yen in some sense could have actually been seen as a positive up until now because Japan did go through 25 years of essentially stagnant nominal growth. Is this actually that much of a fundamental change in the Bank of Japan's thinking – needing to react to the weakness of the yen? Chetan Ahya: Broadly what you're saying is right, Seth, but there is also a threshold of where the currency can be. And beyond a point, it begins to hurt the households in form of imported inflation pressures. And remember that inflation has been somewhat high, even if it is driven by currency depreciation and supply side factors for some time. And so, BOJ has to be watchful of potential lift in inflation expectations for the households. And at the same time, they are also watching the underlying inflation impact of this currency depreciation – because what we have seen is that over period workers have been demanding for higher wages. And that is also influenced by what happens to headline inflation, which is driven by currency depreciation. So, I would say that, yes, it's been true up until now. But, when currency reaches these very high levels of range, you are going to see BOJ having to act. Seth Carpenter: Jens, let's shift then to Europe. The ECB had been on a cutting cycle. They came to the end of that. President Lagarde said that she thought the disinflationary process had ended. In your year ahead forecast and a bunch of your writing recently, you've said maybe not so fast. There could still be some more disinflationary, at least risk, in the pipeline for Europe. Can you talk a little bit about what's going on in terms of European inflation and what it could mean for the European Central Bank? Because clearly that's going to be first order important for markets.Jens Eisenschmidt: I think that is right. I think we have a crucial inflation print ahead of us that comes out on the 4th of February. So, early February we get some signal, whether our anticipated fall of headline inflation here below the ECB's target is actually materializing. We think the chances for this are pretty good. There's a mix why this is happening. One is energy. Energy disinflation and base effects. But the other thing is services inflation resets always at the beginning of the year. January and February are the crucial month here. We had significant services upward pressure on prices the last years. And so just from base effects, we think we will see less of that. Another picture or another element of that picture is that wage disinflation is proceeding nicely. We have notably a significant weakness in the export-oriented manufacturing sector in Germany, which is a key sector of setting wages for the country. The country is around 30 percent of the euro area GDP. And here we had seen significant wage gains over the last year. So, the disinflationary trend coming from lower wage gains from this country, that will be very important. And an important signal to watch. Again, that's something we don't know. I think soon we have to watch simply monthly prints here. But a significant print for the first quarter comes out in May, and all of that together makes us believe that the ECB will be in a position to see enough data or have seen enough data that confirms the thesis of inflation staying below target for some time to come. So that they can cut in June and September to a terminal rate of 1.5 percent. Seth Carpenter: That is, I would say, out of consensus relative where the market is. When you talk to investors, whether they're in Europe or around the world, what's the big pushback that you get from them when you are explaining your view on how the ECB is going to act? Jens Eisenschmidt: There are two essential pushbacks. So, one is on substance. So, 'No, actually wages will not come down, and the economy will actually start overheating soon because of the big fiscal stimulus.' That, in a nutshell is the pushback on substance. I would say here, as you would say before, not so fast. Because the fiscal stimulus is only in one country. It's 30 percent. But only 30 percent of the euro area.Plus, there is another pushback, which is on the reaction function of the ECB. Here we tend to agree. So far, we have heard from policy makers that they feel rather comfortable with the 2 percent rate level that they're at. But we think that discussion will change. The moment you are below target in an actual inflation print; the burden of proof is the opposite. Now you have to prove: Is the economy really on a track that inflation will get back up to target without further monetary stimulus? We believe that will be the key debate. And again, happy to, sort of, concede that there is for now not a lot of signaling out of the ECB that further rate cuts are coming. But we believe the first inflation print of the year will change that debate significantly. Seth Carpenter: Alright, so that makes a lot of sense. However, looking at the clock, we are probably out of time for today. So, for now, Michael, Chetan, Jens, thank you so much for joining today. And to the listener, thanks for listening. And be sure to tune in tomorrow for part two of our conversation. And I have to say, if you enjoy this show, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or a colleague today.

Why are there only a handful of companies in the world with over $10 billion in pure-play software revenue? CJ Desai believes the reason is that products are replaceable, but platforms are forever. For No Priors' very first live from MongoDB.local SF, Sarah Guo is joined by CJ Desai, CEO and President of software developer MongoDB, to discuss the shifting landscape of enterprise software. CJ discusses whether AI will erode the value of software, and what truly constitutes a “moat” in the age of generative AI. CJ also talks about why AI adoption with Fortune 500-sized companies is still lagging, the importance of customer relationships, and why the “bear thesis” on SaaS may be overblown.  Sign up for new podcasts every week.

Welcome back to Cryptic Chronicles, where we unravel the threads of the strange, the esoteric, and the mind-bending concepts that challenge our perception of reality. Today, we're diving into a world where philosophy meets the occult, and the boundaries between fiction and reality blur. Enter Nick Land and the enigmatic Cybernetic Culture Research Unit, or CCRU—a collective that defied academia in the 1990s, birthing ideas that feel as alien as they are unsettling. At the heart of their work lies the concept of Hyperstition: the theory that ideas, myths, and fictions don't just reflect reality—they shape it, bending time and space in the process. In this episode, we'll explore how the CCRU's work connects cybernetics, capitalism, and the occult, weaving a tapestry of thought that has influenced everything from philosophy to pop culture to the darker corners of the internet. So, prepare to step into a labyrinth of thought where reality fractures and fictions come alive. This is Nick Land, the CCRU, and the strange power of Hyperstition.

In this episode, Joe Crane sits down with Ryan Hogan, a Navy veteran who transitioned from enlisted aircrewman to Surface Warfare Officer while building a career as an entrepreneur. With 15 years of active duty experience and a tenure in the Reserves, Ryan discusses the "trial-by-fire" lessons learned from early ventures like WarWear and Run For Your Lives, emphasizing the unique challenges of managing a business while serving on active duty. The conversation centers on Ryan's success as the co-founder of Hunt A Killer, the high-growth mystery game he eventually sold. He credits much of his scaling success to the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and peer-to-peer learning through Vistage, which helped him transition from a founder-led startup to a systems-driven organization. Following the sale, Ryan launched Talent Harbor to fix the inefficiencies he encountered in the hiring industry. He introduces the "Recruiting as a Service" (RaaS) model, which replaces traditional high-commission headhunting with a transparent, flat-fee monthly rate. By treating recruiting as a core operational competency rather than a one-off task, Ryan is now helping other founders build more efficient systems for finding and retaining top-tier talent. Episode Resources: Talent Harbor Ryan Hogan - LinkedIn   About Our Guest Prior to founding Talent Harbor, Ryan Hogan co-founded Hunt A Killer, a subscription-based interactive murder mystery experience. In 2019, Hunt A Killer was named by Fast Company as one of the World's Most Innovative Companies. In 2020, Inc Magazine named it the fastest-growing CPG company. Ryan started his career enlisting in the U.S. Navy as an MH-53E aircrewman, and transitioned to officer where he served as a Surface Warfare Officer onboard various warships. Along the way, Ryan founded WarWear and Run For Your Lives, honing the entrepreneurial skills that he would use in Hunt A Killer, and now Talent Harbor.   About Our Sponsors Navy Federal Credit Union   Navy Federal Credit Union offers exclusive benefits to all of their members.

Send us a textBolts Magazine Journalist Alex Burness discusses his article from January 8, 2026, “Americans by Name, Punished for Believing it.” The story is an in-depth look at the case of Tupe Smith, an American Samoan woman living in Whittier who was persuaded to run for school board in 2023 and was elected only to learn afterwards that she was unqualified and had actually committed a crime. Then, ten other American Samoans in Whittier were charged with voter fraud. American Samoa is the only U.S. territory where residents are not automatically granted citizenship by being born on American soil and instead are considered U.S. nationals. Paths to citizenship exist, such as naturalization, though that process can be expensive and cumbersome.The American Samoans in this story are charged with felonies and face up to ten years in prison even though very few Alaskans understand American Samoans' status.Just a few days ago, on Thursday, January 15, 2026, the Alaska Court of Appeals heard arguments in the case against Tupe Smith. There's a chance that the court might dismiss the charges against Ms Smith; however, the state could then bring different charges or could appeal to the Alaska Supreme Court.  

What if the most powerful weapon in an abusive relationship isn't a fist, but a login? We sit down with Jordyn Lawson, Chief Residential Officer at Genesis Women's Shelter & Support, to unpack how financial abuse and coerced debt quietly trap survivors—even long after they leave. From paychecks diverted into hidden accounts to loans opened under threat or deception, money becomes a leash: it governs housing, food, credit, and the ability to move toward safety.Jordyn shares what frontline work reveals: the overwhelming prevalence of financial control, the shock of discovering debts for cars or even boats survivors never saw, and why credit scores can become gatekeepers to a new home or job. We connect the dots between personal harm and public cost—billions lost to intimate partner violence, millions of workdays missed, and the chilling number of workplace homicides tied to abusers. Most importantly, we map the way forward: how to spot red flags, how loved ones can support without minimizing, and how workplaces should prepare to protect employees targeted by abusers.There's real hope in policy and practice. We highlight legal reforms that recognize coerced debt as identity theft in Texas, how survivors can challenge fraudulent accounts, and why advocacy partnerships streamline credit repair with minimal cost. We also dig into financial literacy strategies that restore control—pulling credit reports on safe devices, securing independent accounts, documenting coercion, and planning for deposits and child care. Along the way, we confront enduring myths about who works, who controls the money, and why “everyone fights about finances” is not a free pass for abuse.If you care about safety, equity, or simply want to help someone you love, this conversation gives you clear tools and next steps. Listen, share with a friend, and help us push for policies and workplace practices that put safety first. If this episode resonates, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us: what change would most improve financial safety for survivors?

We all have “that friend.” The one who comes to us in earnest, asking for advice. But when we give them our advice, they don’t take it. So they talk to another friend, who gives them the same advice, which they don’t take. Then on to the next friend, and then the next friend, until they finally find someone who says what they want to hear. It’s easy to criticize this person for only listening to what they want to hear. But how often do we do that with God? The portion of Psalm 23 we come to this week teaches us to listen and trust that God will tell us what we need to hear, even if it isn’t always what we want to hear.

Arlen Specter's Criminal Justice Reform, the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, and its Role in Expanding the Modern Prison Industrial Complex,” explores the impact of the infamous 1994 Crime Bill in providing the infrastructure for mass incarceration within the United States. The research, funded by the Arlen Specter Center fellowship, examines how the federalization of criminal law, pursuant to the Commerce Clause, has led to expansive growth in federal law enforcement, imprisonment, and thus setting the foundation for the modern carceral state. Timothy's article “People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths to Rhythms: Hip-Hop's Continuation of the Enduring Tradition of African and African American Rhetorical Forms and Tropes,” examines hip-hop's continuation of centuries-old African cultural norms and aesthetic values. As an attorney, Timothy has long been an advocate for justice, using his legal expertise to defend society's most vulnerable individuals, including survivors of human trafficking, survivors of police brutality, and the indigent. He has also provided crisis management, guidance, and legal counsel to churches and nonprofit organizations across the globe. In that capacity, Timothy is the Chair of the Board of Directors for The Witness Foundation, and an Advisory Board member of For the Future Organization. Timothy has also served as the Civil Rights Attorney for the Philadelphia Chapter of Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), where he defended the constitutionally protected civil rights and liberties of those who experience discrimination and harassment based on their faith, race, ethnicity, and/or national origin, particularly members of the Muslim community within Pennsylvania.  As a hip-hop artist, he has released four full length recordings, shared the stage with national and international acts (Janelle Monáe, Jidenna, EPMD, Dead Prez, and Immortal Technique), won songwriting contests (Session 1 Grand Prize in 2010 John Lennon Songwriting Contest), garnered high compliments from hip-hop legends, industry taste-makers (Sway) and record executives (VP of A&R at Def Jam, Lenny S).  His latest work, entitled ‘Trane of Thought, is a live recorded hip-hop album that melds songs from his first two albums the musical style of John Coltrane. Timothy presently serves as the Pastor of Formation and a Teaching Elder at Epiphany Church of Wilmington, bringing over twenty years of ministry experience. He fosters spiritual growth through expositional and topical preaching, community engagement, trainings, workshops and spiritual counseling. In his role, he equips Epiphany members to live out their faith practically in their communities and prepare others to do the same. Timothy's work as an attorney and scholar has allowed him to contribute to various media outlets, such as: Axios, BBC Radio 4, CBS, CNN, The Huffington Post, NBC, The New York Times, NPR, The Philadelphia Inquirer, REVOLT TV, The Washington Post, VOX, and 900 WURD AM. He has lectured nationally and internationally at esteemed institutions like: Magdalen College of Oxford University, Georgetown University, Swarthmore College, and provided invited keynote addresses at major corporations like 1Hotels, Campbell Soup, and Merrill Lynch. As a contributing writer, Timothy has bylines in The Huffington Post, The Philadelphia Inquirer, WHYY, and RESPECT Magazine.  He earned his J.D. from Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law and his B.A. from Morehouse College, where he graduated cum laude and was awarded the Corella and Bertrand Bonner Scholarship. Timothy finds his greatest joy and fulfillment at home with his wife and three children.     Timothy Welbeck's Website Video: “Kendrick Lamar and the Morale of m.A.A.d City Hiphop Course | Prof. Timothy Welbeck Explains”   Video Conversation with Georgette from XXL: “Inside the Kendrick Lamar College Course Created to Study His Lyrics and Life” At about 2:50, Timothy highlights some “surreal moments” in his hip hop career and advocacy At about 4:20, Timothy responds to Pete's question about declining or rising advocacy in contemporary hip-hop  At about 6:30, Timothy reflects on the balance between a democratization of hip hop and old models of record company control At about 9:05, Timothy talks about his reading background, including a Tim Follett read (!) and other formative works At about 12:10, Timothy talks about being a “late bloomer” in his hip hop exposure At about 13:25, Timothy cites Nas, Lauryn Hill, Blackstar, Outkast, The Roots as some of his favorite rappers and groups At about 14:45, Timothy talks about friends The Remnant and how they helped him to “understand the power of [his] own voice” At about 15:30, Timothy responds to Pete's question about how he listen to music now that he has written about and taught classes so extensively about hip hop  At about 17:00, Timothy breaks down his process for listening to music that he will be writing/teaching about  At about 17:50, Timothy explains the different ways of ordering Kendrick Lamar's albums/mixtapes, and expands on the class' contours  At about 20:30, Timothy talks about the class on Kendrick Lamar's seeds, calling it "serendipitous"  At about 23:10, Timothy talks about the class structure, including the foundation established at the beginning of the class At about 26:30, Timothy talks about how he goes about establishing Compton as an entity in itself, while at the same time showing its similarities to other casualties of government neglect and racism  At about 28:25, Timothy talks about the "compelling" way in which Kendrick Lamar is both popularly respected and critically-acclaimed  At about 31:55, Pete and Tim discuss an early Kendrick Lamar concert At about 32:25, Pete and Tim reflect on Kendrick Lamar's love of Black culture and for important music legends, particularly the way in which he featured titans on To Pimp a Butterfly At about 34:30, Tim describes the great insights  At about 36:05, Marcus J.

Story Transcript:Hu: A Liszt Ferenc nemzetközi repülőtér forgalmas volt még télen is.En: The Liszt Ferenc International Airport was busy even in winter.Hu: Az emberek vastag kabátokban és sapkákban mozogtak, a kifutópályákat hó borította.En: People moved around in thick coats and hats, and the runways were covered in snow.Hu: A kijelzőkön piros betűkkel villogtak a késések.En: Delays flashed in red letters on the displays.Hu: A hóvihar miatt itt rekedt utasok türelmetlenek voltak.En: Passengers stranded due to the snowstorm were impatient.Hu: László egy fontos üzleti találkozóra sietett.En: László was hurrying to an important business meeting.Hu: Ügyvezető igazgatóval akart találkozni, aki a cég jövőjét jelentette.En: He wanted to meet with the CEO, who represented the company's future.Hu: Bár a munkáját szerette, mostanában egyre inkább vágyott némi kikapcsolódásra.En: Although he loved his work, lately he had been craving some relaxation.Hu: Az utóbbi időben a munkahelyén sokat dolgozott, így alig várta, hogy végre továbbrepülhessen.En: He had been working a lot at his job recently, so he was eagerly waiting to finally fly onward.Hu: A terminálon azonban minden repülés késésre lett ítélve.En: However, at the terminal, every flight was sentenced to a delay.Hu: A várakozás közben László meglátta Zsófiát, aki gitártokot cipelt.En: While waiting, László spotted Zsófia, who was carrying a guitar case.Hu: A fiatal nő éppen visszatért egy európai turnéról.En: The young woman had just returned from a European tour.Hu: Lelkesedésében mégis valami hiányzott: az új dalainak az ihletettsége.En: Yet something was missing from her enthusiasm: the inspiration for her new songs.Hu: Egy fotelbe ült, és jegyzettömbjében dalötleteket firkált.En: She sat in an armchair and scribbled song ideas in her notebook.Hu: Kicsit távolabb Bálint, a földi kiszolgáló munkása, a repülőtér bejáratánál állt.En: A bit further away, Bálint, the ground service worker, stood at the airport entrance.Hu: Bár álmodozott távoli országokról, édesanyja ápolásáról és a családjáról gondoskodnia kellett.En: Although he dreamed of distant countries, he had to take care of his mother and family.Hu: Ma is itt volt, hogy az utasoknak segítsen a helyzetben.En: He was here today as well, to help passengers in the situation.Hu: Ahogy László a kijelzőkre pillantott, észrevette, hogy minden járat törölve van.En: As László glanced at the displays, he noticed that all flights were canceled.Hu: Dühöngött, de ellenőrizte az időjárás-jelentést.En: He fumed but checked the weather report.Hu: A hóvihar csak rosszabb lett.En: The snowstorm was only getting worse.Hu: Új tervet kellett kiötlene.En: He needed to come up with a new plan.Hu: Mérgelődött, miközben odafigyelt Zsófia finom gitárpengetésére.En: He grumbled while paying attention to the gentle strumming of Zsófia's guitar.Hu: – Szia!En: "Hi!"Hu: – köszönt Zsófiának.En: he greeted Zsófia.Hu: – Szia!En: "Hi!"Hu: – válaszolta barátságosan Zsófia.En: Zsófia replied amicably.Hu: – Szereted a zenét?En: "Do you love music?"Hu: – kérdezte László.En: László asked.Hu: – Nem is tudom, keresek valami különlegeset – válaszolta Zsófia.En: "I don't know, I'm searching for something special," Zsófia replied.Hu: László elmosolyodott, és érezte, hogy valami új és izgalmas kezdődik.En: László smiled and felt that something new and exciting was beginning.Hu: Bálint is megjelent köztük, és érdeklődve hallgatta a beszélgetést.En: Bálint also joined them and listened to the conversation with interest.Hu: – Nem mehetek sehova, de ez a hely tele van történetekkel – mondta bátortalanul.En: "I can't go anywhere, but this place is full of stories," he said timidly.Hu: Hosszú órákig beszélgettek.En: They talked for long hours.Hu: László, Zsófia és Bálint megosztották álmaikat és félelmeiket.En: László, Zsófia, and Bálint shared their dreams and fears.Hu: László hirtelen úgy érezte, hogy amire igazán szüksége van, nem a találkozó, hanem ezek az emberek, akiket véletlenül talált.En: László suddenly realized that what he really needed wasn't the meeting, but these people he had stumbled upon.Hu: Amikor végül megjavult az idő, László már nem volt ugyanaz az ember.En: When the weather finally improved, László was no longer the same person.Hu: Megfogalmazódott benne, hogy egy kis spontaneitás sosem árt.En: He realized that a little spontaneity never hurts.Hu: Zsófia új ötletekkel indult a következő albumához, és Bálint meghozta a döntést, hogy a jövőben több időt szán az álmai megvalósítására.En: Zsófia set out with new ideas for her next album, and Bálint made the decision to dedicate more time in the future to realizing his dreams.Hu: Ahogy ismét elindultak, László rádöbbent valamire: nem az úticél, hanem az utazás formálta át.En: As they set off again, László realized something: it wasn't the destination, but the journey that transformed him.Hu: Az élet néha váratlan lehetőségekkel teli, melyek sokkal többet adhatnak, mint amire eleinte gondolnánk.En: Life is sometimes full of unexpected opportunities, which can offer much more than we initially think.
