This episode originally ran July 19, 2023 *** The actor, writer, comedian, and bon vivant Michael Ian Black is an enthusiast of the word game Scrabble and, in particular, the very short two-letter words that can make all the difference in a competitive game. Sure, lots of players want to use long words of seven or even more letters but a well-placed QI or a sly ZA can rack up more points than one might have ever thought possible, and Michael shares, in a lulling monotone, many more two-letterers that the uncareful player might have never considered. We also talk about the historic Scrabble match where FUCKWIT was played to much controversy and point scoring.

Shanghai is expanding overseas access to computing power and foundational artificial intelligence models to boost the city's trade in services, with a new plan setting a goal of increasing the sector's scale to more than $300 billion by 2030.上海正面向海外开放算力以及基础人工智能模型资源,以此拉动本市服务贸易;一份全新规划定下目标:2030年前服务贸易规模突破3000亿美元。Experts said that the move would help make AI a new growth driver and strengthen the city's role as a global trade in services hub.专家表示,该举措能够促使人工智能成为全新增长引擎,并巩固上海全球服务贸易枢纽的地位。On Monday, a plan to build Shanghai into a national demonstration zone for service trade innovation and development was unveiled.本周一,上海建设国家服务贸易创新发展示范区的规划正式对外公布。Jointly released by seven departments, including the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce, the plan sets a goal of increasing the city's service trade volume to $270 billion by 2027 and surpassing $300 billion by 2030.该规划由上海市商务委员会等七个部门联合印发;计划提出,2027年上海服务贸易总额达到2700亿美元,2030年突破3000亿美元。The plan calls for the development of service trade related to the AI industry, attracting global companies and institutions to establish AI R&D centers, opensource platforms and joint laboratories in Shanghai, and building an open innovation ecosystem.规划提出发展人工智能产业相关服务贸易,吸引海内外企业与机构在沪设立人工智能研发中心、开源平台以及联合实验室,搭建开放式创新生态体系。Coordinated development协同发展Zhong Junhao, secretarygeneral of the Shanghai AI Industry Association, said that for the first time, the plan incorporates the coordinated development of the AI industry into the broader framework of a city's service trade development, marking the use of computing power as a new growth driver for the sector.上海市人工智能行业协会秘书长钟俊浩称,这份规划首次将人工智能产业协同发展纳入全市服务贸易发展的整体框架,标志着算力正式成为服务贸易全新增长动力。"Encouraging companies and institutions to establish AI R&D centers, opensource platforms and joint laboratories in Shanghai is essentially an openingup of both the import and international cooperation sides of trade in services," Zhong said.钟俊浩表示:“鼓励各类企业、机构落地上海搭建人工智能研发中心、开源平台、联合实验室,本质上是服务贸易在进口领域和国际合作层面的双向对外开放。”By bringing talent, code, research facilities and opensource communities to Shanghai, he said the city can create a platform connecting international institutions, multinational R&D units and local innovation communities within the same network.他谈到,通过集聚人才、程序代码、科研设施与开源社群,上海可打造一体化平台,连通国际机构、跨国企业研发部门以及本土创新社群。On July 16, 29 countries signed an agreement in Shanghai to establish the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization. Headquartered in Shanghai, the organization is officially positioned as an independent intergovernmental international body focusing on capacity building, alignment of rules and standards, application cooperation and global AI governance.7月16日,29个国家于上海签署协议,成立世界人工智能合作组织。该组织总部落户上海,定位为独立的政府间国际机构,主攻能力建设、规则标准对接、应用合作以及全球人工智能治理。The trade in services demonstration zone plan includes measures to accelerate headquarters development and explore governance, adding institutional support for Shanghai's international AI cooperation, Zhong said.钟俊浩介绍,这份服务贸易示范区方案含有加快总部经济建设、探索新型治理模式的多项举措,为上海开展人工智能国际合作提供制度保障。Complete ecosystem完备产业生态Addressing a news conference in July, Chen Jie, vicemayor of Shanghai, said, "Shanghai has now built a complete development ecosystem that integrates independent innovation, applicationdriven growth, open collaboration, ecological synergy and security governance."上海市副市长陈杰于7月的新闻发布会上发言:“上海现已建成集自主创新、应用牵引增长、开放协作、生态协同、安全治理于一体的完整发展生态。”According to him, Shanghai's 394 AI enterprises above the designated size, each with an annual revenue of at least 20 million yuan ($2.96 million), saw their combined industry scale exceed 637 billion yuan in 2025, a yearonyear increase of 39.5 percent, making AI a new growth driver for the city's economy.据其介绍,上海现有394家规模以上人工智能企业(年营收不低于2000万元,折合296万美元);2025年产业总规模突破6370亿元,同比上涨39.5%,人工智能已然成为上海经济全新增长引擎。The plan outlines 27 key tasks across six areas, covering industrial and supply chain upgrading, innovation in new business models, stronger business competitiveness, more efficient supply, higherlevel openingup, and mechanisms to support both domestic and international development.该规划从六大方向部署27项重点任务,涵盖产业链供应链升级、新业态模式创新、增强企业竞争力、优化供给效能、高水平对外开放、搭建兼顾国内外发展的保障机制。Qi Xiaozhai, vicechairman of the Commerce Economy Association of China, said: "In the past, we placed greater emphasis on trade in goods than on trade in services, especially service exports. However, in recent years, service trade has grown much faster than goods trade. Last year, the value of service trade reached 8.08 trillion yuan, up 7.4 percent yearonyear, 3.6 percentage points higher than the growth rate of goods trade."中国商业经济学会副会长齐晓斋表示:“过去我国重货物贸易、轻服务贸易,尤其忽视服务出口。但近些年服务贸易增速远超货物贸易;去年我国服务贸易总额达8.08万亿元,同比增长7.4%,增速比货物贸易高出3.6个百分点。”"Domestic consumption of services, including catering, entertainment and leisure, has also grown faster than the consumption of goods. Against this backdrop, China has developed new advantages in service trade, particularly in emerging digital technologies such as AI, big data, cloud computing and blockchain," Qi added.齐晓斋补充道:“餐饮、文娱休闲等国内服务消费增速同样高于商品消费。在此背景之下,我国服务贸易培育出新优势,尤其在人工智能、大数据、云计算、区块链等新兴数字技术领域。”By 2035, China aims to establish around 35 demonstration zones with leading service trade scale, concentrated highend resources, strong innovation capabilities and significant regional influence, he said.他称,我国计划至2035年建成大约35处服务贸易示范区;示范区需要做到贸易规模领先、高端资源集聚、创新能力出众、区域辐射影响力强劲。The country will foster a number of internationally competitive service export enterprises and key service industry clusters, while forming a development pattern in which service trade, investment, consumption and industries are interconnected and mutually reinforcing, he added.他还提到,国家将培育一批具备国际竞争力的服务出口企业以及重点服务业产业集群,促成服务贸易、投资、消费、实体经济互联互通、相辅相成的发展格局。foundational /faʊnˈdeɪʃənl/基础的;根基性的intergovernmental /ˌɪntəɡʌvənˈmentl/政府间的cluster /ˈklʌstə(r)/产业集群,集聚片区

Hey, Heal Squad! Today we're throwing it back to one of our most eye-opening conversations with Dr. Christopher Motley, a leading expert in functional kinesiology and Chinese medicine. If you've been following our recent episodes on mold toxicity, this is the perfect next listen because mold and Lyme disease often go hand in hand, sharing many of the same frustrating symptoms. Dr. Motley explains the surprising ways Lyme can enter the body, why so many people never fully recover, and the hidden role blocked drainage pathways play in keeping you sick. From EMFs, heavy metals, and mold toxicity to trapped emotions, he reveals how these invisible stressors overwhelm your body, disrupt your lymphatic system, and prevent true healing. We also dive into how trauma can become stored in your organs, what viruses like Epstein-Barr have to do with fatigue and hormone imbalances, and why restoring your body's Qi (your electromagnetic life force) may be one of the missing pieces to lasting wellness. If you've been doing everything "right" but still don't feel like yourself, this throwback episode will help you connect the dots and finally understand what could be keeping your body stuck.

Pediatric acupuncturist Kenna Bouvet, founder of Earth and Sky Massage and Acupuncture, joins us to explore what acupuncture and bodywork can look like for babies and kids, far beyond the stereotype of “needles in little bodies.” She shares how her own childhood digestive issues and dance injuries led her to acupuncture, and how that journey now informs her work with families navigating colic, feeding difficulties, constipation, respiratory issues, and chronic stress. Kenna also reflects on her time in the pediatric oncology and bone marrow transplant units at Columbia Medical Center, where she treated children and supported entire families through high‑stress hospital stays.We dive into pediatric Tui Na (Chinese medical massage for kids) and Shonishin, a Japanese non‑needling technique that uses gentle stroking and tapping tools to support infants with feeding challenges, tension from birth, colic, latch issues, and digestive or respiratory concerns. Kenna explains why she rarely needles at a first visit, how she lets kids lead the session, and how she teaches parents simple, realistic touch‑based tools they can actually use at home. The conversation also highlights cultural traditions of baby massage and the shared language of Qi and prana, emphasizing touch, agency, and connection as central to healing in the perinatal and pediatric period.Connect with Kenna: earthskylic.comTeachers she mentioned:Program manager of the Integrative Therapies Program at Columbia medical - Michelle Bombacie For NYC pediatric acupuncture training - JingShen Pediatrics with Moshe Heller and Stephen CowanUK pediatric acupuncture teacher - Rebecca Avern Shonishin - Thomas Wernicke Click here and use your exclusive 20% listener discount (Code: Fit20) to enroll in Master Your Pelvic Floor, our signature self-paced course that will change the way you understand and care for your body.

Right, we're kicking off this new series on the Three Treasures - Jing, Qi, and Shen - and I've brought in an absolute legend to help us navigate this. Benny is a fixture around here, living just a stone's throw from the studio, and he's the perfect guide for this series. He comes from a hardcore performance background - sports, movement, the works - but he's spent years deep in the trenches of neurosomatic movement and nervous system work, which makes him the perfect bridge between high-level performance and ancient Taoist principles. We're starting with Jing, but forget the dusty, abstract textbook definitions. Benny's all about the "slow melt." He's here to talk about why we've all been drifting out of alignment and calling it "normal." We've basically turned the health space into another arena of performance where we're constantly searching for the next "optimal" diet or training style to fix us, while our nervous system - the canary in the coal mine - is trying to whisper that we're burning the candle at both ends. We're overriding fatigue, pushing through tension, and treating our body like a project rather than a relationship. Benny's work is all about coming back home to the body. He challenges us to stop treating stillness as just another "de-stress" ritual to check off a packed calendar. Instead, he reframes cultivation as gardening: it's about pulling the weeds - those unresolved tensions and habits - so you can actually grow something. It's not about adding more; it's about clearing space. We dig into why we're so good at ignoring those early signals, and how to stop treating your body like a problem to solve. It's an eye-opening conversation on remembering what's already there - protecting your base, honoring the whispers, and building a life that doesn't drain you dry. It's not easy, but it is real. Let's get to it. Key Points We Touch On Why the Three Treasures offer a different way of understanding health Cultivation as a lifelong relationship, not another wellness practice Coming home to your body instead of outsourcing your health Why stillness is essential for self-awareness The body as a relationship, not a problem to solve Learning to listen before trying to fix Protecting your essence in a world that constantly drains it How identity, conditioning, and performance disconnect us from ourselves Authenticity as the foundation of genuine health Preparing the ground for the journey through Jing, Qi, and Shen Resources: Websites / Platforms movementmonk.xyz - Benny's website Courses / Programs The Body Trust Experience - a new offering Benny's launching to help establish the foundations of this work Explore Our Transformative Program Onboarding/intro courses Practice Material (EP#56) Embodied Movement with the Movement Monk Benny Fergusson

As chronic, hard-to-treat disorders become more common in clinic, many practitioners are returning to Wen Bing theory for answers.In this conversation with Kerri Westhauser, we explore lurking pathogen theory and how deep-lying evils help explain complex conditions like lupus and POTS.We also discuss why tonification often backfires in chronic disease, and the importance of venting, regulating, and mobilizing Shen to keep the body's pathways open.Listen in for a practical rethinking of the Wei and Qi levels and how to locate disease that has gone into hiding.

"L'intelligence humaine, ce n'est pas aussi compliqué et profond que ce qu'on imagine" Série spéciale Intelligence(s)Cet été, IFTTD part en exploration. Sur les 52 derniers épisodes, on a parlé d'intelligence artificielle 38 fois. On maîtrise plutôt bien la partie artificielle &mdash mais l'intelligence, la vraie, l'originale, on n'en a presque jamais parlé. Alors le temps d'un été, on remonte à la source : 6 épisodes, 6 chercheurs, pour comprendre ce qu'est vraiment l'intelligence.Le D.E.V. de la semaine est Nicolas Gauvrit, enseignant-chercheur en sciences cognitives à l'Université de Lille. Spécialiste du raisonnement humain et du QI, il démonte les mythes qui entourent cette mesure controversée. À travers l'histoire et la technique du QI, il partage comment cette note globale donne une évaluation fiable du fonctionnement cognitif, mais échoue à saisir la créativité et d'autres formes d'intelligence. Nicolas insiste sur l'importance de distinguer la compétence réelle de la performance au test. Un épisode qui questionne franchement ce que le QI capture, ce qu'il ignore, et les limites de la notion d'intelligence elle-même.Chapitrages00:00:59 : Intelligence et QI00:06:30 : Ce que mesure le QI00:18:31 : Limites et types d'intelligence00:28:05 : Peut-on améliorer son QI ?00:34:21 : À quoi sert le test de QI ?00:36:44 : LLM et intelligence00:53:08 : Système 1, système 200:57:53 : Définir l'intelligence autrement Liens évoqués pendant l'émission Livre "Qi intelligence humaine" par NJ Mackintosh
Can you have plenty of energy and still be powerless? In this Living the Tao Short, Master Mikel Steenrod and Morgan explore the difference between Qi and karma. Qi is life energy — the force connected to health, vitality, and the feeling of being alive. Karma, in this teaching, is something different. Karma is the energy of choice. This episode looks at why some choices fail even when they seem possible, why a person can burn through their available karma trying to force a result, and why big goals are often better approached through smaller successful steps. The discussion also explores why successful choices release karma, why distant or overly complex goals may fail to produce a yield, and why nature often works through repeated small actions rather than giant abstract plans. A clear and practical short on Qi, karma, choice, power, and the hidden cost of trying to make something happen before the power is there. Video version here: https://youtu.be/ggUou5KaMmQ
As a licensed physician of Chinese Medicine and iboga facilitator, I've had a front row seat to something that I couldn't ignore: iboga as a medicinal herb is an agent for energetic, physiological and spiritual vitality. And my training and way of seeing the world through the eyes of Chinese Medicine have provided a beautiful framework for understanding why. In this episode, I walk you through the organ systems most affected by iboga and share my clinical observations from working retreats. This is my attempt to bridge two ancient wisdom traditions and give you a framework for understanding what your body is going through when you work with the sacred root.Highlights: - How iboga clears the body of dampness — and what dampness actually is in TCM- Surprising observations I've found from feeling the energetic qualities of people's pulses before and after iboga ceremonies- The Liver, emotional purging, and why what feels like a side effect is actually a gift- How iboga opens the Heart and quiets the mind so the Shen can speak- Why I believe iboga, an herb that contributes to libido and fertility, belongs in the class of essence-building herbs If you want to watch this episode on YouTube with the presented slideshow, you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/axq5CknlWMo Learn more about the School of Whispers: www.schoolofwhispers.comLearn more about Root and Wisdom: www.rootandwisdomllc.comIf you'd like to learn more about working with me, click here.

At Radical Rhythms Experience we know that where your attention goes, energy flows. We know that, change outside will not happen and will not sustain without first changing inside. We know that energy is not some woo-woo bs, it is the source of people power. Thus, we must redeem our control of it! Using music and, of course, humor, Amanda Seales is combining the ancient practice of Qi-gong and the necessary practice of conversation for her latest live space. We begin first by getting our energy in rhthym through slow, flowing movements and rhythmic breathing before leaning into conversations exploring ways to realign our minds around authenticity, imagination, community, creativity and more.

Key TakeawaysTIPQC's Born to Thrive bundle represents a strategic expansion of quality improvement efforts, with the Late Preterm Infant project addressing a significant population—8.1% of Tennessee's 2024 live births—requiring specialized discharge readiness protocols.Patient and family engagement through respectful care surveys and community listening sessions proved instrumental in improving care experiences and outcomes, establishing a model for sustained collaborative improvement.Rural health disparities and declining maternity hospital capacity create urgent opportunities for TIPQC to expand support beyond regional NICUs to underserved areas and smaller facilities.Rebuilding trust in evidence-based care requires intentional partnership with diverse community stakeholders, including midwives and doulas, to address vaccine hesitancy and other safety concerns affecting neonatal care.Quotable Moments"I fell in love with this field right then and there, and the baby girl too, and there was no looking back for me." — Dr. Courtney Gutman, describing her first patient encounter with a 25-week-old infant."It was the perfect blend of my early public health interests and neonatal medicine. I was hooked." — Dr. Courtney Gutmann, reflecting on her first TIPQC conference experience."The best thing about the opportunity to serve as infant medical director is all of the amazing, talented, and dedicated people that you get to work with on a regular basis." — Dr. Karen Schetzina, on her most rewarding experience."I'll do my absolute best to follow in his QI footsteps for our babies." — Dr. Courtney Gutman, honoring Dr. Mark Anderson's legacy in quality improvement.Show Notes by Barevalue.No content or comments made in any TIPQC Healthy Mom Healthy Baby Podcast is intended to be comprehensive or medical advice.

Tommy Hughes returns to the Terrain Theory Podcast for a conversation that builds on our first exploration of Classical Chinese Medicine and takes it into even deeper territory.Drawing from the ancient medical classics, Tommy explains why Chinese physicians believed disease begins in the heart, how chronic emotional patterns can eventually become physical pathology, and why the body's symptoms are often the final chapter of a story that began years earlier. Together we examine the Chinese understanding of anger, fear, purpose, stillness, and the relationship between the inner climate and the outer world.The discussion moves through cancer, trauma, suppression, homotoxicology, Wu Wei, and the symbolism behind the ancient Chinese character for cancer itself. Tommy also shares why martial arts traditionally came before medicine, why biohacking can become another form of striving, and how the Taoist concept of non-doing offers a radically different approach to cultivating health.Rather than searching for another protocol or optimization strategy, this conversation points back toward something much older: restoring harmony, returning to one's original nature, and learning to move with life instead of constantly trying to control it.To learn more about Tommy's work, follow him on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@naturallytom2302 or reach out to him at naturallytom@tutamail.com.

Send us Fan MailWhat does it mean to truly improve outcomes for very low birth weight infants, and are we actually doing it? In this episode, Daphna sits down with Dr. Joseph Kaempf, neonatologist and Medical Director of Value Research and Innovation at Providence Health System in Oregon, to examine some uncomfortable truths about neonatal quality improvement. Dr. Kaempf shares findings from a study spanning 16 NICUs over 14 years showing that composite morbidity outcomes have remained flat while length of stay has increased. He explores why traditional QI tools like driver diagrams and PDSA cycles may no longer be sufficient, and why augmented intelligence may be the next frontier. The conversation also touches on culture as a driver of NICU performance and the gap between institutional interests and true shared decision-making with families. A candid episode for anyone invested in the future of neonatology.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

X2M.255 Quiétude | Stillness and the Super-Conqueror Series: CR20 Place De La Concorde Romans 8:37 does not announce escape from pressure. It names victory inside it: “in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” This is Quiétude: the stillness after obedience, the confidence before visible result, the refusal to turn victory into spectacle, seizure, or premature motion. Paul's word is ὑπερνικῶμεν: hypernikōmen: we more-than-conquer, overwhelmingly prevail, hyper-conquer.¹ A conqueror defeats the obstacle. A Super-Conqueror remains in Christ until the obstacle itself becomes testimony. Pressure becomes witness. The wound becomes proof. Accusation becomes the place where the blood speaks. Death becomes resurrection ground. But the final clause governs everything: “through Him who loved us.” The victory is not generated by force, intelligence, spiritual rank, charisma, or self-authorizing power. It is received through divine love. The Super-Conqueror is not an independent throne. The Super-Conqueror is a witness of love under pressure. Revelation gives the Lamb-shaped form: they overcome by the blood of the Lamb, by the word of their testimony, and by faithfulness even unto death.² Their testimony does not create Christ's victory. It agrees with what He has already accomplished. The Lamb was slain, yet He stands. The grave received Him, yet could not retain Him. The enemy made the wound, but the enemy does not define the wound. In Qitronix language: Qiₜ overcomes within the bounded field. Qiₜ² preserves the meaning of the whole field. Qavāmium tests whether that preserved meaning can stand. Qiₜ is coherent action under resistance. Qiₜ² is recursive coherence under pressure: testimony, identity, suffering, custody, inheritance, and outcome held together until the hostile condition loses final authority. Quiétude guards the line: Coherence is not permission. Readiness is not authorization. Standing requires measure. Solomon shows the architectural pattern. David fought while the Lord subdued the field. Solomon built only when rest, lawful succession, and the prior word of God converged.³ Victory cleared the field. Authorization built the house. Luke gives the ascension pattern. In Luke 9:51, Jesus sets His face toward Jerusalem: active resolve. In Luke 24:51, He lifts His hands in blessing and is carried upward: rested reception.⁴ Before the cross: set the face. After resurrection: lift the hands and bless. The Super-Conqueror does not climb into glory. The Super-Conqueror is carried by the victory love has already completed. In Place De La Concorde architecture, X2M.255 is the stillness-bound victory event: the battle has lost the right to define the beloved, but the next movement remains under custody. The victory is confessed. The testimony is preserved. The inheritance is held. The house waits for its measured line.

It is love-governed hyper-victory held beneath divine timing: pressure becomes testimony, suffering loses final authority, obedience gives way to rested reception, and the Super-Conqueror preserves the victory without seizing the throne. The victory is real. The line must hold. The house may stand only through the One who loved us. Footnotes ¹ Romans 8:37 uses hypernikōmen, from hyper and nikaō: more-than-overcoming. ² Revelation 12:11 grounds overcoming in the Lamb's blood, testimony, and faithful endurance. ³ 1 Kings 5:2–5 distinguishes subdued adversaries from authorized temple-building. ⁴ Luke 9:51 and Luke 24:51 frame resolve before the cross and reception after completion. ⁵ Qiₜ², Super-Conqueror, and Qavāmium are interpretive analogies, not claims of spiritual rank, autonomous authority, or execution permission.
Anne Ghesquière reçoit Béatrice Millêtre, Dre en psychologie, spécialiste du haut potentiel et des neurodiversités. Peut-on encore réduire l'intelligence à un chiffre ou à des performances ? Dans quelle mesure notre société peine-t-elle à faire une place aux personnes qui pensent, ressentent ou fonctionnent différemment ? À rebours des visions normatives et des étiquettes figées, Béatrice Millêtre propose une autre lecture de l'intelligence : une intelligence vivante, incarnée, relationnelle, intuitive et profondément liée au sens. Elle explore les notions de potentiel singulier, de conscience élargie, de burn-out de valeurs, de bore-out, de neurodiversité et nous invite à réinventer nos modèles éducatifs, professionnels et collectifs. Son livre Les potentiels singuliers, L'autre façon d'habiter le monde est publié aux éditions Payot & Rivages. Épisode #697Quelques citations du podcast avec Béatrice Millêtre : "Le haut potentiel c'est un ensemble de singularités, c'est pas un trouble.""Quand on est soi-même neurodivergent, ou neurotypique, l'autre paraît venir d'une autre planète.""Personne n'est trop. C'est toujours trop par rapport à un référentiel."À réécouter : #588 Comprendre la neuroatypie & le haut potentielRecevez chaque semaine l'inspirante newsletter Métamorphose par Anne GhesquièreDécouvrez Objectif Métamorphose, notre programme en 12 étapes pour partir à la rencontre de soi-même.Suivez nos RS : Insta, Facebook et TikTokAbonnez-vous sur Apple Podcasts / Spotify / Deezer / Castbox / YouTubeSoutenez Métamorphose en rejoignant la Tribu MétamorphoseThèmes abordés lors du podcast avec Béatrice Millêtre : 00:00Introduction01:30L'invitée, Béatrice Millêtre02:01Pourquoi les tests de QI ne suffisent pas07:49L'intelligence, un écosystème vivant14:55Hypersensibilité, TDAH, autisme : faux amis ?17:41Neurotypiques / neurodivergents : se comprendre24:09Polychronie : ces cerveaux qui pensent hors du temps30:29Flow et papillonnage créatif38:52Hypersensibilité et intuition42:18Le besoin indispensable de sens46:54Vers une société collaborativeAvant-propos et précautions à l'écoute du podcast Photo DR Hébergé par Acast.

Back in June 2024, we highlighted surprising data from JAMA Network Open regarding adolescent care in the ED. Because many adolescents use the ED as their primary care provider, it's a good opportunity for them to have contraception addressed regardless of why they presented. But that's not what was happening. That publication from two years ago showed significant gaps in addressing contraception in the ED to pregnancy vulnerable young women, mainly teens. We covered those results back then and said that that would be a wonderful QI project for any resident or medical students to work with their hospital ED to improve that. Well, now a similar publication, looking at a different target- STI empiric treatment among pregnant women in the ED, has been published with that same vibe. Yep, there are BIG discrepancies in what pregnant women are given- or in this case, NOT GIVEN, in the ED compared to their nonpregnant peers. This was published in mid-April 2026. Two big questions remain unanswered in this data. Listen in for details. 1. Gottlieb M, Moyer E, Slocum GW, et al.

Kevin Mack, the new president of Via Licensing Alliance, joins Eli for the Clause 8 season finale.Kevin talks about Via's plans to build its next patent pools around "de facto" standards — technology the market adopted on its own, with no standards body behind it — which would push collaborative licensing into territory it has never touched. Mack also takes a hard look at the royalty-free models spreading through tech and AI, from AV1 to the new Shared AI License Foundation (SAIL), argues that "free" rarely stays free, and explains why he's optimistic about where the patent system is heading.Kevin and Eli also discuss:*Via's model and the "tipping point" that turns a pool from a few licensors into thousands of licensees*"De facto" standards: pooling patents for technology no standards body ever blessed*Leadership turnover at Via, the HEVC pool's move to Access Advance, and a new strategy-and-growth group*The push into semiconductors, including a new DRAM memory program*AV1, SAIL, and why Mack thinks royalty-free rarely stays free*Whether AI patents are as "foundational" as advertised — and why "AI is not new"*Efficient infringement, patents as property rights, and why companies ultimately take a license*The mood out of Via's Rome summit and a US patent system tilting back toward ownersNotable names, companies & standardsPeople: Kevin Mack (president, Via Licensing Alliance); Heath Hoglund (former Via president); John Amster (Jamster Capital; RPX co-founder)Organizations: Via Licensing Alliance (Via LA), MPEG LA, Dolby, Access Advance, Alliance for Open Media, Shared AI License Foundation (SAIL), WIPO (PatentScope), DOJ, USPTOSAIL founders / board (public): Anthropic, Genentech, IBM, Meta, Microsoft; board observers eBay and TD Bank Group; members include Block and FigmaStandards & technologies: AAC, AVC (H.264), HEVC (H.265), AV1, MPEG-2, Qi wireless charging, DRAM memory, SEP / FRANDDisclaimer This is a public episode.

Happy Sunday Set Up , Heal Squad! This week, we're coloring outside the lines a little as we dive into life force energy, nervous-system depletion, psychic heaviness, and why so many people today feel emotionally, physically, and spiritually drained. Inspired by a recent biofeedback session, Keven explores what ancient traditions called Qi, Prana, or vital force—and how modern stress, burnout, overgiving, guilt, survival mode, and toxic environments may quietly be crushing it. We break down the real signs your life force energy may be low: exhaustion that sleep can't fix, emotional numbness, brain fog, hypervigilance, feeling spiritually “dim,” and constantly carrying everyone else's emotions. From nervous-system regulation and breathwork to creativity, purpose, sunlight, boundaries, and peace, we explore what actually restores vitality—and why true healing may be a lot less mystical and a lot more human than we think. We even get a little woo woo. Psychic attack. Emotional contamination. Toxic people, moldy homes. hoarding, dark quarters, demonic energy - oh my!. This Sunday Set Up explores the strange ties to those items and loss of energy. And ultimately? Why opening a window, cleaning a room, speaking truth, setting boundaries, and reclaiming peace might be some of the oldest medicine there is. Remember Heal Squad: the opposite of darkness isn't fear. It's awareness. Breath. Light. Movement. Truth. Open the windows. Protect your peace. And reclaim your life force.
