fWotD Episode 2924: Guandimiao Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 7 May 2025, is Guandimiao.Guandimiao (Chinese: 关帝庙遗址; pinyin: Guāndìmiào yízhǐ; lit. 'Guandi temple ruins') is a Chinese archaeological site 18 km (11 miles) south of the Yellow River in Xingyang, Henan. It is the site of a small Late Shang village that was inhabited from roughly 1250 to 1100 BCE. Located 200 km (120 miles) from the site of the Shang dynasty capital at Yinxu in Anyang, the site was first studied as a part of excavations undertaken between 2006 and 2008 in preparation for the nearby South–North Water Transfer Project. Excavation and study at Guandimiao has significantly broadened scholars' understanding of rural Shang economies and rituals, as well as the layout of rural villages, which had received comparatively little attention compared to urban centers like Yinxu and Huanbei.Calculations derived from the number of graves and pit-houses at Guandimiao suggest a maximum population of around 100 individuals at the site's peak during the early 12th century BCE. The presence of 23 kilns suggests large-scale regional exports of ceramics from the village. Residents used bone tools, including many that were locally produced, as well as sophisticated arrowheads and hairpins likely imported from Anyang, where facilities produced them en masse. Local ritual practice is evidenced by the presence of locally produced oracle bones used in pyromancy and large sacrificial pits where mainly cattle had been buried, alongside a smaller number of pigs and (rarely) humans. Over 200 graves were found at the site. Apart from an almost complete absence of grave goods beyond occasional cowrie shells and sacrificed dogs, they generally resemble shaft tombs found elsewhere in ancient China.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:58 UTC on Wednesday, 7 May 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Guandimiao on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Geraint.

Too often, legal departments are on their heels defending litigation and managing unwieldy litigation budgets. Legal departments can generate an ROI for their companies by engaging in affirmative litigation. But who has the budget for that? At 20 years old, Eva Shang figured out how to turn litigation into investment returns and is now running a tech-enabled investment firm focused on litigation funding. Legalist, the company she co-founded with Christian Haigh at Y Combinator, now manages $1.5 billion in alternative investments in litigation funding, bankruptcy, and government receivables. In this episode, Eva, now the firm's CEO, shares how litigation funding works, how Legalist's "truffle sniffer" technology sources litigation cases for her team of in-house attorneys to underwrite and evaluate for investment. Eva shares insights on how to evaluate cases and "pick a winner", how to get litigation counsel to set and stick to a budget, and how her team that a "win" will be collectable at the end of the day. And as a bonus, Eva shares insights of what the CEO wants from their lawyers. Turns out, mitigating risk isn't at the top of the list.

Episode 189: Intermittent Fasting (Religious and Sports)Future Doctors Carlisle and Kim give recommendations about patients who are fasting for religious reasons, such as Ramadan. They also explain the benefits and risks of fasting for athletes and also debunked some myths about fasting. Dr. Arreaza add input about the side effects of fasting and ways to address them.    Written by Cameron Carlisle, MSIV (RUSM) and Kyung Kim, MSIV (AUC). Editing by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Introduction: In the last episode on fasting (#179), we explored how intermittent fasting (IF) can help manage type 2 diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity, promoting weight loss, and lowering inflammation. We discussed the benefits of methods like 16:8 time-restricted eating and the 5:2 meal plan, and even compared IF to medications like metformin. Today, we're bringing that science into real life. We'll talk about how people fast for religious reasons, like during Ramadan, how athletes use IF to stay in shape, and how we can use IF as a tool in family medicine to support community health and A1c control.Intermittent Fasting in Religious PracticeRamadan just ended on 3/30/25, but this is a great time to talk about the broader role of fasting in religion and health. Many faiths incorporate fasting into spiritual practice and understanding this can help us better support our patients.Islam (Ramadan): Ramadan is a month where Muslims fast from dawn to sunset, focusing on spiritual reflection and self-control. No food or drink is consumed during daylight hours. Despite this, studies have shown that with good planning, fasting during Ramadan does not significantly impair physical performance or metabolic health.Key health tips for patients observing Ramadan:Hydrate well between iftar (sunset) and suhoor (pre-dawn).Break the fast with dates and water to gently replenish energy and electrolytes.Eat balanced meals with complex carbs, protein, and healthy fatsAvoid greasy, heavy foods right after fastingLight exercise (such as a walk) after iftar is beneficialReview medications with a healthcare provider, especially for those on insulin or sulfonylureas.For example: Metformin should be taken when you break your fast and then again before dawn. If its an extended-release metformin, take it at night. Metformin does not cause significant hypoglycemia and can be continued during Ramadan. Basal insulin is advised to be given at Iftar, and the dose should be reduced by 25-35% if the patient is not well managed. And regarding the fast-acting insulin, it requires a little more reading, so you can look it up and learn about it. Judaism: In Judaism, fasting is practiced on days like Yom Kippur and Tisha B'Av, typically lasting 25 hours without food or water. These fasts are spiritual and reflective, and patients with medical conditions may seek guidance on how to participate safely.Christianity: Many Christians fast during Lent, either by abstaining from certain foods or limiting meal frequency. Some practice partial-day fasts or water-only fasts for spiritual renewal.A branch of Christianity known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saintsoften observe a 24-hour fast on the first Sunday of each month, known as Fast Sunday, where they abstain from food and drink and donate the cost of meals to charity. This practice is both spiritual and communal.Cameron: Fasting for religious reasons, when done safely, can align with IF protocols and be culturally sensitive for diverse patients in family medicine.IF in Athletes and PerformanceIntermittent fasting is gaining popularity in the sports world. Athletes are using IF to improve body composition, increase fat oxidation, and enhance metabolic flexibility. A recent study, known as the DRIFT trial and published in Annals of Internal Medicine, found that fasting three non-consecutive days a week led to more weight loss than daily calorie restriction. Participants lost an average of 6.37 pounds more over 12 months.Why? Better adherence. People found the 3-day fasting schedule easier to stick to than counting calories every day.Benefits of IF for athletes:Encourages fat burning (via AMPK activation and GLUT4 upregulation, listen to ep. 179).Helps maintain lean muscle while reducing fat.No major drop in performance when meals and workouts are timed properly.What are some practical tips?Schedule workouts during or just before eating windows.Eat protein-rich meals post-workout.Avoid intense training during long fasts unless adapted.Stay hydrated, especially in hot environments or endurance sports.Broader Applications and Myths Around IFHormonal Effects of IF: In addition to improving insulin sensitivity, IF also affects hormones such as ghrelin (which stimulates hunger, remember it as growling) and leptin (which signals fullness). Over time, IF may help the body regulate appetite better and reduce cravings. IF can also decrease morning cortisol levels, the stress hormone. That's why it's important to monitor sleep, hydration, and stress levels when recommending IF.Circadian Rhythm Alignment: Emerging research shows that aligning eating times with natural light/dark cycles—eating during the day and fasting at night—can improve metabolic outcomes. This practice, known as early time-restricted eating (eTRE), has been shown to lower blood glucose, reduce insulin levels, and improve energy use. Patients who eat earlier in the day tend to have better results than those who eat late at night.Myths and Clarifications on IF:-“Fasting slows metabolism” In fact, short-term fasting may boost metabolism slightly due to increased norepinephrine. -“You can't exercise while fasting.” Many people can safely train during fasted states, especially for moderate cardio or strength training. -“Skipping breakfast is bad.” For some, skipping breakfast is a useful IF strategy—as long as total nutrition is maintained. You can break your fast at 2:00 pm, it does have to be at 7:00 AM.What to Eat When Breaking a FastBreaking a fast properly is just as important as fasting itself. Whether it's after a Ramadan fast or a 16-hour fast, the goal is to replenish energy gently and restore nutrients.Ideal foods to break a fast:Dates and water: provide quick energy, potassium, and fiberSoups: lentil or broth-based soups are gentle on digestionComplex carbs: whole grains like brown rice or oatsLean proteins: chicken, fish, eggs, legumesFruits and vegetables: hydrate and provide fiberHealthy fats: nuts, avocado, olive oilProbiotics: yogurt or kefir for gut supportBalanced meals with carbs, protein, and healthy fats help the body transition smoothly back to a fed state.Using IF in Family Medicine and Community HealthIntermittent fasting can be a practical, cost-effective strategy in family medicine. In areas with high rates of obesity and diabetes, like Kern County, IF offers a lifestyle-based tool to improve metabolic health, especially in underserved populations. IF is free!How IF can help in family medicine:Lower A1c levels: improves insulin sensitivity and glucose controlPromote weight loss: decreases insulin resistance and inflammationReduce medication dependence: fewer meds needed over time for some patientsEncourage patient engagement: flexible and easier to follow than strict calorie countingFit diverse lifestyles: aligns with religious and cultural practicesAddress food insecurity: structured eating windows can help patients stretch limited food resourcesHow to apply IF in clinic:Start the conversation by asking if the patient has heard of IFRecommend simple starting points: 12:12 or 14:10Emphasize hydration and nutrient-dense mealsMonitor labs and symptoms, especially in diabetic patientsAdjust medications to avoid hypoglycemiaProvide follow-up and patient education handouts if possibleWhat if a patient isn't ready to try fasting?For those not ready to commit to intermittent fasting, one effective alternative is walking after meals. A simple 10–20 minute walk post-meal can help stimulate GLUT4 receptors in skeletal muscle, promoting glucose uptake independent of insulin. This reduces the demand on pancreatic beta cells and may help improve blood sugar control over time. This strategy is particularly useful for patients with insulin resistance or early-stage type 2 diabetes.Conclusion: Intermittent fasting is not one-size-fits-all, but it can be a powerful tool for both individual and community health. From Ramadan to race day, IF has a place in family medicine when used thoughtfully. Encourage patients to work with their healthcare providers to find an approach that fits their lifestyle, medical needs, and personal values. IF is a cost-effective toolEven without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

I de mänskliga imperiernas historia intar Kina en särställning. I mer än två millennier har det stora östasiatiska landets politik kännetecknats av en kejserlig makttradition, präglad av starkt centralstyre, konfuciansk byråkrati och kontinuerlig strävan efter riksenhet och sammanhållning mot omvärlden. Medan Europa, Indien, Afrika, Mellanöstern och Sydöstasien har varit till synes ohjälpligt splittrade har Kinas dynastier följt på varandra i tre- eller fyrahundraåriga sjok av nationell dominans och enhet.Kina har haft många ryktbara kunga- och kejsardynastier, från den halvhistoriska Xia via de mäktiga Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Tang och Song, men en av de mest legendomsusade och ryktbara i vår del av världen är utan tvekan Ming, som härskade från mitten av 1300-talet till mitten av 1600-talet. Det var under Mingkejsarna som det berömda blåvita porslinet tillverkades och Stora muren fick sitt nuvarande utseende, och det var nu de imponerande gravkomplexen (”Minggravarna”) anlades inte långt därifrån. Det var också vid denna tid som européerna på allvar lärde känna den kinesiska kulturen genom att jesuiter som Matteo Ricci tog sig in i landet och vann så stor respekt att de kom att ingå i huvudstadens lärda överskikt.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om de kinesiska dynastiernas historia, framför allt om Mingdynastin på 1400- och 1500-talen.Bild: Kejsar Hongwu, som gjorde klassresan från fattig bonde till kejsare och grundare av Mingdynastin.

In this episode of the Value Perspective, we're joined by Eva Shang, the co-founder and CEO of Legalist, a tech enabled investment firm specialising in litigation assets, based out in San Francisco. Eva started the company after dropping out of Harvard at the age of nineteen and has since built Legalist into a notable player in the alternative credit space. At the time of this recording in October 2024, Legalist was in the process of raising for their fourth fund and their previous funds have shown a strong track record. Legalist focuses on three key areas, litigation finance, government account receivable factoring, and debtor-in-possession credit lines and bankruptcy cases. It's a niche corner of the market and a unique take on deep value investing. In this episode we discuss: what Legalist does and how investors should approach litigation finance as an asset class; the decision making choice behind Eva's decision to leave Harvard and start her own business; the challenges of patent litigation and why it's so different from commercial cases; and finally, how investors evaluate litigation finance, particularly for those who are unfamiliar with the American court system.

Do you ever wonder why it's so hard for you or your partner to stick to a budget? Or organize your finances? Or even talk about money? Do you read tons of financial advice but struggle to actually do it? Or do you tend to stick your head in the sand and hope it will all work out? In this episode (our first *video* episode!), we talk to Shang Saavedra, the author of the recently released book called Wealth Is A Mindset. She has coached over 200 households into a dignified retirement and taught over 8,000 individuals on how to achieve financial freedom through her courses. We talk about how our upbringing and our mental health are so intrinsically tied in with how we manage (or don't manage) our finances.

In this episode of A Canadian Investing in the US, we discuss Brooke's transition from investing in Ontario to focusing on other regions and passive investing in the US. Leaving Ontario for Other Markets Brooke moved out of Ontario's real estate market due to challenges, including: Landlord-Tenant Board (LTB): Ongoing disputes and difficulties with enforcement, even when rulings favored landlords. Poor Cash Flow: High property values and refinancing often erased rental income. Airbnb Regulations: Changes in short-term rental laws created additional hurdles. Investing in Alberta and Beyond Brooke turned to Alberta for better cash flow, though it has become more competitive. She has also invested in Winnipeg, the US, and Asia: In Asia, investments were accidental (family-owned properties turned into rentals). US Passive Investing Brooke has consistently focused on passive investing in the US, including: Flips: Initially as an equity partner in Florida, Ohio, and Phoenix. Private Lending: Provided second mortgages, earning returns of up to 18%. Limited Partnerships: Transitioned to more secure structures for passive income. Lessons Learned Early deals were riskier but provided valuable experience. Promissory notes: Brooke no longer recommends these due to lack of security and risks in volatile markets. Preferred methods now involve secured lending (e.g., registered mortgages) to mitigate risks. Partner experience and deal details are critical in evaluating investment opportunities. Advice for Passive Investors Understand the market, the operator, and the deal specifics. Avoid blindly chasing high returns without assessing risks. Secure investments (e.g., registered mortgages) provide greater protection. Continuous learning and due diligence are essential to making better decisions over time.

I had the incredible pleasure of sitting down with the remarkable Shang Saavedra on this week's episode. Shang's inspiring story, from navigating early financial struggles to becoming financially independent, is nothing short of awe-inspiring. She shared her experiences growing up in challenging circumstances moving around a lot as a young girl, and a strong emphasis on education that shaped her future life goals.    Through diligent saving, smart financial planning, and a lot of hard work, Shang managed to graduate from Harvard with a degree in economics and no student debt — a testament to her family's frugality and her own tenacity to be financially independent as early as possible. We explored her journey into management consulting, her strategic approach to building wealth, and how she discovered the FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) movement, which ultimately led her to retire early and focus on educating others about personal finance.    Shangs's story is a powerful reminder that with the right mindset and strategies, financial freedom is achievable. During our conversation, you'll learn about the lessons she learned along the way to financial freedom, the importance of frugality, and how she and her husband managed to live on one income while raising their young kids.    Tune in to get inspired to take control of your financial freedom and learn how Shang is inspiring others to do the same with Save My Cents. Key Topics: A nomadic childhood with a strong emphasis on education Watching her parents establish themselves in the US as an immigrant family Working hard in high school to go to Harvard — debt-free Setting her sights on management consulting as an early career path Taking on an early interest in saving and investing that set her up for success Dreaming of being a rich CEO after business school Staying frugal in the face of temptation Shang's first introduction to the FIRE concept The dominoes that fell that led Shang to leave corporate for good Living on one income and saving and investing the other Ensuring her wealth lasts beyond 3 generations The start of Save My Cents Wealth isn't about numbers, it's about healing from childhood trauma and early money stories Using her wealth to invest in nurturing her personal relationships Connect with Shang online:   Website: https://savemycents.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shangsaavedra/ Instagram: @savemycents YouTube: Save My Cents Buy the book: Wealth is a Mindset Find more from Syama Bunten:   Instagram: @syama.co, @gettingrichpod Website: https://syamabunten.com/ Download Syama's Guide to Getting Rich: www.syamabunten.com  Women & Wealth Catalyst Summit: https://women.win/ Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com

Hear about travel to Central China as the Amateur Traveler talks to Larry Fan, who was born in the city of Zhengzhou and recently returned to explore his birth country. Why should you go to Central China? Larry says, ” “I think it's particularly special because it's considered the cradle of Chinese civilization. Xi'an was the first imperial capital of China. Zhengzhou also happened to be one of the first capitals of the Shang dynasty. Kaifeng and Luoyang, which are two other cities I'll talk about, had also served as capitals of China during various times. It's a very influential area for Chinese civilization and often not as much talked about versus places like Beijing, Shanghai. Etc. ” Larry recommends a 7-10 day itinerary for visiting central China, covering historical and cultural highlights in Henan Province and Xi'an. Here's the detailed breakdown of his suggested itinerary: Days 1-2: Zhengzhou (Capital of Henan Province) Day 1: Zhengzhou City Tour Henan Museum Spend 2-3 hours learning about the region's history from the Shang to Tang dynasties. Guancheng Muslim District Visit the Beidajie Mosque (North Big Mosque), a Yuan dynasty mosque with Chinese architectural influences. Try local food like Xi'an torn bread with lamb soup (羊肉泡饃). Shang Dynasty Relic Park Explore ruins of the Shang Dynasty's capital, including city walls over 3,000 years old. People's Park Relax in the park and experience local activities like dancing and exercise. Erqi Memorial Tower (Feb 7th Square) Learn about the area's historical ties to railroad workers and admire the twin tower.  Zhengdong New Area (CBD) Visit the modern Central Business District featuring the iconic Corncob Building. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-central-china/ Learn more about your ad choices.

    Exploring the Efficacy of Autologous Platelet Leukocyte Rich Plasma Injections in Chronic Low Back Pain & Understanding Degenerative Lumbar Spinal Stenosis  Host David Rosenblum, MD  Episode Date: October 25, 2024 In this episode, Dr. David Rosenblum discusses two significant studies related to chronic low back pain and degenerative lumbar conditions. The first study focuses on the use of autologous platelet leukocyte rich plasma (PLRP) injections for treating atrophied lumbar multifidus muscles, while the second study investigates the correlation between muscle atrophy and the severity of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS).  Featured Article 1:  - Effect of Autologous Platelet Leukocyte Rich Plasma Injections on Atrophied Lumbar Multifidus Muscle in Low Back Pain Patients with Monosegmental Degenerative Disc Disease - **Authors:** Mohamed Hussein, Tamer Hussein    Key Points Discussed  1. Background:  Correlation between lumbar multifidus muscle dysfunction and chronic low back pain. 2.  Study Overview: 115 patients treated with weekly PLRP injections for six weeks, followed for 24 months. 3.  Outcome Measures:  Significant improvements in NRS and ODI scores, with high patient satisfaction. 4. Conclusions: PLRP injections into the atrophied multifidus muscle are safe and effective for managing chronic low back pain.  Featured Article 2:  -   Degenerative Lumbar Spinal Stenosis  Authors:*  Gen Xia, Xueru Li, Yanbing Shang, Bin Fu, Feng Jiang, Huan Liu, Yongdong Qiao  Key Points Discussed  1. Background:  DLSS is a common condition in older adults, often leading to muscle atrophy and disability. 2. Study Overview: A retrospective analysis involving 232 patients to investigate the correlation between muscle atrophy and spinal stenosis severity. 3.  Results:     - Significant differences in the ratio of fat-free multifidus muscle cross-sectional area between stenotic and non-stenotic segments.    - A strong positive correlation was found between multifidus atrophy and the severity of spinal stenosis.    - The atrophy was more pronounced on symptomatic sides of the spine compared to contralateral sides. 4.  Conclusions:  The findings suggest that more severe spinal stenosis is associated with greater muscle atrophy, emphasizing the importance of addressing muscle health in DLSS patients.  Discussion:  Dr. Rosenblum provides insights into how these studies inform clinical practices for treating chronic low back pain and managing degenerative conditions. He emphasizes the need for comprehensive treatment strategies that consider both muscle health and spinal integrity which may be achieved via peripheral nerve stimulation of the medial branch nerve and multifidus muscle or PRP injection in to the multifidus muscle.  Closing Remarks:  Listeners are encouraged to stay informed about innovative treatment options and the importance of muscle assessment in managing spinal disorders.   **Follow Us:** - Subscribe to the Painexam Podcast for more episodes discussing the latest in pain management research and treatments. - Connect with us on social media [insert social media links].

Today's show features Underdog Picks for Wednesday July 24th in ATP Tennis and Major League baseball.The show slip features three Underdog picks with a 6.12x multiplier.In Atlanta, I think Juncheng Shang will have higher than 5.5 aces against his low level opponent, Andres Martin. This match was supposed to take place yesterday but got rained out. Let's hope an extra day of rest allows Shang to put a little extra spin on his serves today. Next I am targeting Gunnar Henderson versus the Marlins and starting pitcher Edward Cabrera. Gunnar was held hitless yesterday, and I have some strong thoughts on how he will rebound from that performance. The last baseball play features a future star in the league, Mark Vientos. He is having an underrated season and has an interesting, but short, history versus Gerrit Cole and the Yankees. These three plays come together for 6.12x multiplierThe Daily Do(n)g Squad is Back With the Heavy HittersRafael DeversLuke RaleyAaron JudgeThis flex play returns 37.96x your money if it goes 3/3 and 8.43x if 2/3 selections go yard!Make sure you are subscribed to shorts or are following me on twitter, as I put out promo slips multiple times a week and they have yielded a 126% ROI.
