Si la neuróloga del Hospital de La Princesa Lidia López Manzanares tuviera un millón de euros para invertir en la investigación de las enfermedades neurodegenerativas, no lo invertiría en el ministerio de Ciencia sino en el de Educación. Pese a la necesidad de fomentar hábitos saludables, la ciencia corre en busca de tratamientos que frenen el Alzheimer o el Párkinson; Lidia y uno de sus pacientes, el periodista Javier Pérez de Albéniz, nos cuentan lo que puede hacer el ping-pong como neuroprotector.

Escucha martes y viernes la opinión de Jorge A. Meléndez.

Der Handelskonflikt entwickelt sch aktuell zu einem Ping Pong Spiel und läßt Investoren unruhig werden. Nicht genug damit, legt sich der US-Präsident zusätzlich mit dem Vorsitzenden der US-Notenbank an und verunsichert die Finanzmarktteilnehmer zusätzlich. Dennoch können sich einige Aktien von dem Gesamtmarkttrend loslösen und teilweise gut zulegen. Welche das sind und was für Beweggründe dahinterstecken erfahrt ihr einmal mehr in der neuen Podcast Folge von com.on mit den beiden Hosts Andreas Lipkow und Dirk Schwitzke.

Lëntgen ass opgestigen, Déifferdeng ass Meeschter, zu Beggen ginn d´Eelefmeter ofgepaff, de Kevin Kerger rutscht wéi de Steven Gerrard a villes méi. Zu Lëtzebuerg ass de Weekend erëm vill geschitt a wat genee gëtt wéi ëmmer fir dech an der Buvette beschwat.

Aktueller Gegner Trumps: Fed-Chef Jerome Powell. Der US-Präsident forderte abermals eine Zinssenkung und bezeichnete Powell unter anderem als "großer Loser", weil er seiner Forderung nicht nachkommt. - Einer ist immer der Loser. Nach Ansicht Trumps, der ungern Doppel spielt, heißt dieser Jerome Powell. Fed-Chef Jerome Powell sei ein "major loser" und solle die Zinsen "NOW" senken. Was bedeutet der Angriff auf die Fed für die Kapitalmärkte? Nun überlegt Trump, wie er Powell abservieren könnte, der eigentlich noch bis Mitte 2026 im Amt ist. Weil die Finanzmärkte unabhängige Geldpolitik einer unabhängigen Fed sehr zu schätzen wissen, würde eine Entlassung von Fed-Chef Jerome Powell einen beispiellosen Eklat verursachen - was zu einem ordentlichen Rappeln an den Börsen führen würde. Trotz der Herausforderungen sieht Thieme Potenzial in Boeing, was viele möglicherweise nicht erwarten würden. Doch wie steht Boeing im Vergleich zu Airbus da?

Kaj imajo carinske stopnje s Trumpovo ritjo? Šele ko mu jo je, po njegovih besedah, začel poljubljati ves svet, jih je zamrznil. Ker je najboljši pogajalec. S Kitajsko pa igra carinski pingpong, rezultat je ta hip 145:84. Ljubljanski župan Jankovič, nesojeni predsednik vlade pri nas, pa morda postane premier v Srbiji.

We're bouncing hard and fast between plots this week, and they don't quite gel. In "Saints of Imperfection" Section 31 is in everyone's face, which is weird for a supposedly-secret organization, and Stamets continues the search for Tilly...and finds someone very unexpected. Well, unexpected in-universe. In the real world we all knew it was coming. Also this week: Ghostbusters, Spaceballs, and recasting "Voyager"!

Aujourd'hui, il est obligatoire qu'une raquette de tennis de table ait deux faces de couleurs différentes : une rouge et une noire. Ce détail, qui semble anodin, est en réalité le fruit d'une évolution stratégique et réglementaire dans l'histoire du ping-pong. Et pour comprendre cette règle, il faut remonter aux années 1970 et 1980, une époque marquée par des innovations technologiques… et un certain flou réglementaire.À cette période, plusieurs joueurs commencent à utiliser des raquettes aux deux faces recouvertes de revêtements très différents : par exemple, un côté avec un revêtement « backside » très adhérent, capable de produire beaucoup d'effet (ou spin), et un autre avec un caoutchouc « picots longs » ou « anti-top », qui réduit ou inverse les effets.Parmi les joueurs les plus redoutables dans ce style de jeu, on trouve Miloslav Hamer, un joueur tchèque qui, dès les années 1960, expérimentait ce type de raquette. Mais c'est dans les années 1980 que cette tactique atteint son apogée, notamment avec des joueurs comme John Hilton, un Britannique, qui remporte de manière inattendue les Championnats d'Europe de 1980 à Berne. Sa raquette combinait deux revêtements très différents, ce qui rendait ses coups imprévisibles. Hilton alternait les faces de raquette si subtilement que ses adversaires étaient complètement déroutés.Le problème ? Les deux faces de sa raquette étaient de la même couleur, généralement rouges. Résultat : impossible pour l'adversaire de savoir avec quelle face Hilton frappait la balle… et donc quel effet il allait produire. Le déséquilibre devenait évident. Ce type de jeu, considéré comme peu spectaculaire et frustrant pour les spectateurs, a provoqué une vraie crise dans le monde du tennis de table.Face à cela, la Fédération Internationale de Tennis de Table (ITTF) décide de réagir. En 1986, elle adopte une nouvelle règle :▶ Les deux faces de la raquette doivent désormais avoir des couleurs nettement différentes,▶ L'une doit être rouge vif, l'autre noire mate,▶ Et les joueurs doivent montrer leur raquette à l'adversaire avant le match.Cette décision vise à rendre le jeu plus lisible, plus équitable et plus spectaculaire. Le public peut suivre les échanges avec plus de clarté, les adversaires peuvent anticiper les effets, et la stratégie reste visible, sans devenir une forme de "triche technique". Hébergé par Acast.

Pickleball TV & Ping Pong Childhood by Maine's Coast 93.1

No Longer An Enemy.Book 3 in 18 parts, By FinalStand. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels."My Sister wished to know if you speak Mandarin," the brother translated for me."Hi, I'm Cáel," I greeted him. "Who are you guys?" He looked to one of the two goons holding on to me. I received a painful kidney punch. I discovered a whole new super-power. It hurt for about two seconds then nothing."I asked you a question," he repeated."No, I don't speak Mandarin," I lied so well it came across as a dour confession."Yet you know the secretive language of the Earth & Sky," he stated."Yes, I do. I have a thing for dead languages. Maybe in a few more years, I'll pick up your Mother Tongue as well," I bantered.No punishment was immediately meted out, so I suspected no one close to me, besides him, spoke much if any English. Jian Bob (my new name for him) didn't relay my insult. I wasn't worth it. He went straight for the reason for our get-together."You are going to die, Mr. Nyilas. That is a given," J B began."We both know you have done enough damage to our cause to be worthy of elimination a hundred times over. I'm going to show you respect by not lying to you about your possible fate. What you can do is save your young companion. We understand you two are close," he appealed in a very polite manner. Aya snickered."Cáel, these people are mentally challenged," she giggled to me, "or hideously misinformed.""I know, I know," I smiled down at Aya. "Still, they have gone through a great deal of effort to insult our intellect today, so let's humor them a little longer." Jian Bob issued several casual orders.In short order, a third man had hold of me by the jaw with one hand while trying to hold my eyelids open with the other. One guard held her by the shoulders. A second held her right hand, extending her ring finger. A third man held a knife to her top knuckle. A forth stood close with a small blowtorch."She may be a small person, Mr. Nyilas, but she can still die by the Death of a Thousand cuts," he explained."I love you, Aya," I told her softly."I love you too, Fehér mén," she succeeding in keeping most of the fear from her voice.Neither one of us could stop this. Aya certainly didn't expect me to compromise the Host for her benefit. She was as much an Amazon as the first Epona."First, I wish to know what alerted you to the attack at the Summer Camp," Bob began the interrogation."We know you were responsible. We want to know what happened." I looked into his eyes and waited patiently. He nodded to the guard, who shoved my face toward Aya's extended finger until I was less than a foot away."Do it." The Order came in Mandarin.The guard cut the top part of the digit off, one knuckle. I looked at the flesh and bone being cut away. In a clinical manner, I noted how sharp the blade was. I saw the blood shoot forth and heard Aya's little voice cry out in pain. I was pulled back and pointed at Jian Bob again."Do I need to repeat the question for you?" he said."No, I caught it the first time," I grimaced. "It tells me that you haven't the slightest idea who you are fucking with." Bob made a slight hand gesture and the blowtorch cauterized Aya's stump. Her little lungs belted out a terrible screech that wound down as her feet gave out and she hung limply in the guard's grip."Revive her." The blowtorch guy, clearly not his first day on the job, snapped some smelling salts under her noise. Aya revived, sobbing and in a great deal of pain."Cáel," she whimpered. "I have found my stillness. I'll be okay now." Her sobs subsided."Shall we try this again?" J B remained coolly polite, almost urbane."Nah," I joked, "we are both pretty good over here.""Again." The Mandarin order came. Off went another digit of her ring finger. This time her scream was much more exuberant and forceful. We all know it hurt like Hell, but the world had turned."He's going to kill all of you," Aya snickered while she sobbed. "You are all going to die.""Mu, what is the little girl saying?" she asked Jian Bob, real name Mu."She is stating her belief that Cáel will somehow kill us all," he and his sister shared the joke. "Let us see what her tune is when they start in on her left hand," the woman smiled at her sibling.That implied they'd cut off her right thumb and fingers, digit by digit, until one, or both of us cracked. The man nodded and Aya's nub was burned again. Her scream was more of a cleansing shout."Cáel, do you think I will have a nice horse to ride when I join Epona's herds, or will I get a pony?" Aya whimpered."Not a clue," I began before Mu had the face-hugging guard apply a finger strike to my solar plexus. Alal's gift had allowed me to partially organize my brain functions. Coping with pain was a whole lot easier now, but I had to be careful to monitor it because pain was Nature's way of letting you know that there was something wrong with your body."What color would you like me to pick up and have waiting for you," punch, "when you finally take yourself to the cliffs?""Again.""This is accomplishing nothing," the senior bald Mo Fo grumbled. "He clearly cares nothing for the child and has been trained in counter-interrogation techniques.""There is nothing to indicate that," Mu bristled."Xiàsh, burn the tip of his left forefinger," senior necromancer commanded. The guy holding my face coordinated with the men holding my arms to free me of my bonds and wrestle my left arm forward. I didn't bother resisting.It didn't take the commandoes long to figure I had stopped caring. On came the flame and the pain. Oh, I screamed. The pain was real. What had changed was my ability to shuffle it off to an isolated memory file to be tackled later. The bald creep stepped into my field of vision. His eyes were windows to the abyss. My "spirit" sight opened my eyes to the truly inhuman sections of his mind and soul."See, normal techniques will not be affective. We will do it, " and they realized the enormity of their mistake by assuming I was paralyzed by the pain. I broke free of the guy on my left and began twisting around the guy on my right. I wasn't getting away, I was going for his QCW O5. I knew their favorite martial arts styles and their weaponry now.The guy I was rolling behind realized what I was doing (going for his gun), but mistook my intentions. I wasn't trying to get away, or steal the gun (still strapped to his body). That cockhead even helped me out by lurching ground-ward. I swung the gun up, hit the selector and fired two quick bursts.The first three rounds hit Mr. Blowtorch in his right thigh, shredding it. The second burst caught Mr. Knife guy in the crotch, a triple 21mm castration. Had Blowtorch Guy not been busy trying to keep the strands of his right hip connected to his right leg, he could have stopped the blood fountaining from his buddies shattered groin. That was the end of my joy.I was born to the ground and the guy whose gun I'd borrowed pulled away. I hit the concrete surface hard. That was only the beginning of my issues. Radiating from the floor was cold beyond cold. I had the sensation of falling into the heart of a cold, dead star. How I even knew what the felt like was an impossibility."He feels very cold," protested one of the two guards, in Mandarin; pulling me back to my feet groused."If your incompetence has led to his terminal condition," the male twin threatened. I felt the approach of the female twin, her reaching for me. A new intense pain seared me to the cores of my bones. Before she yanked my hair up, my body reignited.I found myself stared into her pitiless eyes that regarded me with the casual callousness of a veterinarian preparing to put down some rabid stray dog. She ran three fingers over my cheek."What are you babbling about?" she snapped at the two commandoes. "If anything, he is feverish.""Zhen, have him sedated," Chief Necromancer demanded. "Mu, now we will do this my way." Once more I was bound. Someone stabbed a needle into my right triceps. That was a mere discomfort. If I had any consolation, it was hearing Mu ordering the execution of the two men I'd shot.They didn't have the time and facilities to tend to their immediate emergency needs and taking them to a trauma center wasn't going to happen. Those two went into body bags. I had to assume they would be joining us on the plane, though they'd be in the cargo compartment."What are you smiling at?" I heard Zhen snapping before my world collapsed down to a pinhole of light."Lady, I don't know what you said," Aya declared happily. "You are probably angry that Cáel has already killed two of you and we haven't even got off the ground yet." I heard a sound I couldn't make out followed by another and finally a third. That resulted in an Aya-squeak. Ah, she'd tried to hit Aya and Aya had dodged the first two blows. Good girl."Cáel isn't going to like you doing that," Aya chirped."Aya's a winner," I mumbled. I wasn't in control of my senses when they dragged me onto a waiting jet. I wasn't worried. With Aya at my side, I was invincible.DreamingI looked at her face, so youthful, beautiful in her own way, yet far from innocent. She bore a terrible weight. The armor she was wearing, that of a heavy horseman of the steppe, was a leather coat, chain links over her vulnerable regions (throat, underarms and skirt), with the rest being covered by darkened bronze plates.Her iron helmet was open-faced with mobile plates covering her cheeks as well as the sides and the back of her neck; it bore a white horse-hair plume, it was the only feature of her panoply that would draw any special attention her way. She carried no shield. Instead, she wielded a powerful horn & sinew composite recurve bow. She used her knees to rise up on her mount and fire over the mare's head.Similarly attired women rode close to either side of this young woman. Both were older; one in her early forties and the other ~ late thirties. The one to the left bore a lance, not in the couched fashion most people today are familiar with, but used in a double-handed over-head fighting style.The woman to the right fought with a strange blade. It wasn't saber ~ an ancestor of that blade perhaps. It was about a meter long, no hand guard, single-edged except for the top 4 cm on the back side which was equally sharp. Her left hand remained free. I think I saw her purpose. If the young woman got into difficulty, her guardian on the right could pull her horse away and lead the woman to safety.Behind and beside those three rode perhaps three hundred of their sisters. Those in the center were as heavily armored as those three. On each flank were the lighter, faster bow-women, on smaller steeds. The women in the center rode larger mounts that were good for carrying weight and pushing home a charge, while the flanking steppe ponies were virtually tireless.In the center, identified only by her long golden-mane helm, was the Golden Mare ~ War Leader of the Host. The Amazons didn't fly pennants or carry banners. They judged the course of battle by that woman's head movements (the mane was quite long) and the shrill horn blasts unique to the Amazons.Let the barbarians have the all too common deep booming horns calls and their totems raised high for the world to see. Let the Romans keep their trumpets and Legion standards. Amazons had been putting those fools in their graves from time immemorial. Right now, those horns had summoned the Host to a trot.The Hun, Attila, had tasked the Sarmatian Chieftain, under whose banner they rode, to deal with another crisis, the third this short day. Once more, they directed their horses over Catalaunian Fields. The Ostrogoth had gotten themselves into a world of trouble, those filthy, stinking Germans (why was I even thinking that way?)First the Amazons had ridden forth on Attila's right, reinforcing the allied Germanic tribes on the Right Wing in their attempt to force a wedge between Aetius' Romans and King Sangiban's Alans. They'd shown the fools the way, but the supporting Gepids cavalry was too timid and by the time they began to approach, the Golden Mare had been forced to sound 'retire'.The Roman auxiliary cavalry, though of poor quality, had plugged the gap. The Host were too few and too valuable (in their estimation) to die holding a position that their 'allies' might not rescue them from. Next, they had been directed to attack the center of the Alan cavalry line in support of the Huns.Despite the cowardice of their king, the Alans were hardy fighters and too accustomed to the style of steppe warfare that the Host practiced to be lured away from their position. Arrows were exchanged and brief, brutal skirmishes developed, but no advantage was gained. With their mounts exhausted, the Golden Mare had ordered the Host to retired to their camp to water their horses and refill their quivers.That bit of common sense and tactical wisdom placed them in their present crisis. Their Ostrogoth allies had been beating themselves against their Visigoth cousins all afternoon, charging up the same cursed slope that any sane commander would have found a way to flank. No, the Germans had failed seven times using the same plan, so they tried an eighth.Miraculously, they had gained a toehold on the ridgeline and killed the Visigothic King. Like a mob of mindless farmers, the Ostrogoths stopped to celebrate their 'victory' and taunt the Visigoths with the mutilated body of their fallen leader. The Visigoths had been properly incensed and counter-attacked. That's what Princes were for, to avenge their fallen Sires.As the Host exited the Hunnic laager, they'd seen the calamity unfold. The wavering Visigoth infantry had stiffened their line. Believing the Ostrogoths would press forward, the Horse-tail banner of Attila himself broke away from the central Hunnic body, pivoted to his left and thundered into the Visigoth's exposed flank.In the din of battle, it may have looked to the Great Warlord that he had a vanishing opportunity for victory. From the valley below, it was much clearer to the Amazons that the moment to break the Visigothic infantry had passed. The Huns were too tired; their mounts frothing from a long, hot afternoon of battle. Without a swift follow-through, the attack was doomed.At that point, headlong flight for the Amazons wasn't possible. Their long term survival hung on the Hunnic King keeping his Germanic 'allies' in line. They were still somewhere in eastern Roman Gaul, with the Rhine to ford and a land thick with perpetually vicious, blood-thirsty, crotch-scratching, flea-bitten Germanic barbarians to cross before they saw the green rolling hills of home again.No, the Golden Mare, and that young lady knew they had to do something to stem the tide of this disaster for another hour, then darkness would force the combatants to separate so they could try their hand at battle the next day. As the Golden Mare rode to the Sarmatian Chieftain, a rider came through the dust from Attila. The Visigothic cavalry had returned with a vengeance and the Ostrogoths were folding up.The Sarmatians (with their attached Amazons) were to 'somehow' repair the situation. As the Chieftain, the Golden Mare and three Sarmatian tribal leaders hastily discussed the actions. They saw the Hunnic Right, under hard pressure from the Roman attack, beginning to disintegrate. Of immediate concern was the rift opening up between the retreating Hunnic Gepids and the Hunnic horsemen holding the center.King Sangiban had finally discovered his manhood. The Alans attacked through that gap in the Hunnic lines and a rout was in the offing. The Sarmatian Leader decided he had to answer Attila's call. The Golden Mare offered to take her Amazons and whichever tribal leader volunteered first to ride with her against the Alans.She drew her sword and held it aloft then motioned the Sarmatians to look at her shadow."We will hold them off until the length of our swords double (the shadow). Then we are all on our own," she offered. There was no further discussion necessary. There was nothing else to say. The Host and their allies had the fresher horses and full quivers.The Alans had numbers but no heavy horse present, yet. The Host had answered Attila's call to war and now, nearly a year away from their homes in the forested steppe lands of modern-day Bukovina. At that moment they were wondering how few of them would ever see their horse herds roaming free this side of life.That was where my vision came in ~ that woman was 'Ishara', the last of my major bloodline of the first Ishara and this was the last hour of her life. The other two women were the only other two members of that vanishing bloodline. One was her aunt and the other a cousin. Despite the dire peril to their lineage, they joined their sisters in battle.Even though they were outnumber 2 to 1, the Amazons swept aside the first burst of Alans, scattering their bands and hunting the slowest of them down. Rushing alone to fill the gaping hole in the main battle lines was to abandon all tactical sense. Eighty Amazon heavy horse and perhaps twenty more Sarmatians ~ they were integrated now ~ alone simply weren't enough.For the roughly 300 lightly armored horse-archers, it would be a pointless suicide and that was not the Amazon way. Instead, they scattered the initial Alan rush then gently trotted back down the slope. Of course, the Alans regrouped and followed. It was the battle pulse of steppe skirmishing.By simply existing, they turned the rushing wave of that first Alan charge into a slowly strengthening tide. The Alans' mounts were tired and in need of water. Their quivers were nearly empty and some were seen at the top of the slope looting the quivers of the fallen. Whenever they could, the Amazons killed those clever souls.Killing an archer closer to you who only had two arrows left wasn't as economical as killing the one who was both dismounted, thus an easier shot, and about to have fifteen bolts to use against you. Without the constant harassment, the Gepids were able to keep their retreat orderly. In turn, the other Germanics farther to the right kept their mobs relatively intact as well.Their success earned them the inevitable enemy reaction. From his vantage point, the Roman Aetius saw the vulnerable and unsupported position the Amazons held. If he could push past the Amazon screen, he could still achieve a route instead of accepting a mere victory for his side. The solution was a force of

Hey, friends! It's your favorite delusionally young optimist, Debbie Nigro, back with another Wellness Wednesday where we keep the "live" in alive! If you missed the show, here's a rapid-fire rundown of what we talked about—because, let's be honest, I covered a lot. Buckle up! 1. Do We Age in Bursts? Apparently, OMG Yes! Scientists have confirmed what we already suspected—one day, you wake up and bam, you've aged five years overnight. Studies show major aging jumps around age 44 and 60 (so if you're near one of those, hydrate and brace yourself). Researchers analyzed DNA, proteins, and other molecular markers to prove that aging isn't a slow, gradual process—it's like nature's version of a surprise party, but instead of balloons, you get wrinkles.   2. Your Heart is Aging, But Science is Catching Up! Heart disease is still the #1 cause of death, but treatments are better than ever. The heart actually stiffens as we age—apparently, moisturizer won't fix this one. New cardiology advancements are helping older patients live longer, healthier lives—yay for progress!   3. Ping Pong Could Help Parkinson's Patients—And It's Pretty Cool A man with Parkinson's found that playing ping pong helped him regain movement—and now thousands of patients worldwide are following suit. New York City even has a dedicated Ping Pong for Parkinson's program (and I was ahead of the curve on this story, thank you very much). Bonus: Ping pong is fun, so even if you don't have Parkinson's, grab a paddle and get moving!   4. Measles Outbreaks—Yep, They're Back (Ugh) Measles was eliminated in the U.S. in 2000, but now cases are popping up in Texas, New Mexico, and even New York. Pregnant women and young kids are especially at risk, so let's stay informed and proactive. This is your friendly reminder to double-check your vaccination records (if you can actually find them).   5. Pheromones, Love Chemicals, and the $100 Attraction Boost Did you know you can buy pheromone perfume additives to increase your attraction factor? Dr. Winifred Cutler discovered human pheromones in 1986, bottled them up, and now you can buy them for $100 a pop.   Do we really need them, or do we just need to get out more? Hmm…   6. Collagen Loading—The Fountain of Youth? I've been doubling up on collagen, and I swear I feel the difference. It helps joints, skin, hair, and nails, but you have to stick with it for at least three months to see real results. If you're impatient, "collagen loading" (taking a double dose for the first month) can help speed things up.    7. Strawberries & the Norovirus—Wash Those Berries, People! The FDA is warning that strawberries might carry norovirus—yes, the one that makes you wish you never ate again. How to avoid getting sick? Wash them thoroughly under running water (yes, even the pre-washed ones). A vinegar soak (3 parts water, 1 part vinegar) can also help cut down on germs.    8. Spring Break Travel Warnings—Stay Safe, Folks! Some Caribbean destinations now have heightened safety alerts from the U.S. State Department. If you're traveling, stick with your friends and avoid risky situations (especially late at night). A tragic story about a missing college student in the Dominican Republic is a sobering reminder to stay vigilant.      9. Ozempic & Mounjaro—More Than Just Weight Loss? New research suggests these popular weight-loss drugs may reduce inflammation in the brain, potentially helping Parkinson's and Alzheimer's patients. But there's a catch—stop taking them, and your body might go right back to square one.    10. Where Can You Breathe the Cleanest Air? Only seven countries met the World Health Organization's air quality standards in 2024. If you want fresh air, head to Australia, New Zealand, The Bahamas, Barbados, Grenada, Estonia, or Iceland. The U.S.? Not on the list. (Might need to rethink those travel plans.)   Final Thought: The Key to Longevity is... LIVING! Inspired by Arianna Huffington's latest piece, I want to remind you—longevity is great, but don't get so caught up in living long that you forget to live well. Focus on joy, love, and purpose—not just extending your years, but making those year's worth it.   Oh, and if someone texts you the word ‘slay', make sure you know that means you've done an exceptionally good job (thank you, Gen Z, for keeping me on my toes). So, if you ask me I think I've pretty much ‘slayed' this week's Wellness Wednesday Report! Remember, we're all just trying to keep the live in alive—so let's do it with energy, laughter, and maybe a little collagen.  Follow me for more fun, wellness insights, and Debservations on life! @Debservations on Instagram and @TheRealDebbieNigro Facebook The Debbie Nigro Show Sign up for my free newsletter at DebbieNigro.com Until next time—stay fabulous!

David Waldman serves up a lot on today's KITM, but no nothingburgers! You need to head over to Bondi's for those. Greg Dworkin tried unplugging and replugging Connecticut this morning but they're still offline up there. Place your bets right now. Will Republicans or Democrats destroy the United States first? Of course, Dems are the “good guys”, right? They stand for… uhm, their intentions are… hmm. It's just that their Ping-Pong paddles are kind of small and hard to read. Donald K. Trump demands that Al Green be forced to take an IQ test. Representative Green probably should, if he believes that any “fellow” Democrats would have joined his opposition to Trump. Do you think that they would have censured a couple hundred Democrats? I guess we'll never know, will we? As Democrats Anonymous member “Elissa” said in her rebuttal: … Well, it doesn't matter “what” she said, it's that she wouldn't say anything that consultants say she shouldn't say, which is very important when you consider “the audience” that she was speaking to, which would be other consultants. If Democrats were interested in the opinions of anyone other than Democratic consultants, Al Green would have been doing the rebuttal, or AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Eric Swalwell or a hundred or so others, give or take. Meanwhile, Trump deports Ukrainians, while looking into overthrowing their government. That seems to be a weird way to treat a loyal … Wait, we still have loyalties? Well, “yes and no”, and “yes and no”, and “yes and no”, and “yes and no”, and “yes and no”, but maybe… if you play your cards right. That is, if the courts let Trump get away with it, or if Trump can get away with it after the courts try to stop him. Or, if Mr. Musk allows him to. Senate Republicans tell Musk… push Musk to…. beg Musk to let them pretend to have a say in things. Elon is having way too much fun to share right now.

Nikita Shamgunov is a native of Russia, coming to the US for grad school in 2005. Eventually he worked at Microsoft on the SQL Server product. A fun fact - Nikita quit business school on the first day, and decided to join Facebook and find his future co-founder. All of this worked out, and he and his co-founder built SingleStore, which is one of the highest valued companies at YC. Outside of tech, he was a semi-professional athlete in Ping Pong, achieving the status of Top 10 in Washington State back when he was at Microsoft.Nikita completed his "tour of duty" at SingleStore, and post that, he joined a venture fund. He pitched incubating an idea of his at the fund, which was rolling up all Postgres instances in the world. He started to engineer an approach, the team, and the architecture - and did so in some very unique, and deliberate ways.This is the creation story of Neon.SponsorsRapyd CloudSpeakeasyQA WolfSnapTradeLinkshttps://neon.tech/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikitashamgunov/Our Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com* Check out Vanta: https://vanta.com/CODESTORYSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

People love to talk about the battle between banks and private credit firms in leveraged debt markets. And at a high level, it's true that the dealflow has bounced back and forth between the two over recent years — but markets are a lot more complex than a game of table tennis.In this episode of Cloud 9fin, Synne Johnsson sits down with Soren Christensen, partner and head of capital markets at Cinven, and Amit Bahri, co-head of European direct lending at Goldman Sachs, to break down how private credit's role has evolved over the years.Among the highlights: how sponsors have adapted to embrace private credit, what the return of the BSL market means for direct lender strategies, the attraction of junior PIKs, and predictions for 2025.As always, if you have any feedback for us, send us a note at podcast@9fin.com.

Ping pong is a super fun game. It's like miniature tennis, where people use paddles to make balls fly across a table., and sometimes way, way up in the air!  But how do those  tiny plastic balls manage to bounce so high? We asked physicist Dr. Kiley Kennedy to help us find the answer.  Got a question that's bouncing around your brain? Ping us at BrainsOn.org/contact, and we'll serve up the answer!
