Nato Saichek, cofounder and CTO of Longshot Space, joins South Park Commons Partner Jonathan Brebner to explain why rockets won the space race for the wrong reasons—and why a 15-kilometer space gun may be the most rational path to cheap access to orbit. Nato traces Longshot's origins from garage experiments with his cofounder Mike Grace, through building the world's largest operational cannon, to a first-principles reimagining of launch economics. He explains why $4 trillion in rocket investment locked civilization into a local optimum, how aerospace-grade hardware can be replicated for $5 in parts, and what it actually feels like to shoulder the weight of a deeply unconventional bet.Nato Saichek: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natosaichek/ Jonathan Brebner: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-brebner/ South Park Commons: https://www.linkedin.com/company/southparkcommons/Apply to SPC: https://www.southparkcommons.com/applyChapters:(00:00:00) - The 15-Kilometer Space Gun (00:06:27) - The History of Space Guns and Why the Idea Was Abandoned (00:09:33) - Why Rockets Aren't the Best Solution (00:18:39) - The Story of Longshot Space (00:22:09) - Nato On Leaving His Dream Job (00:28:25) - Fundraising for an Unconventional Idea(00:39:36) - The Perks of Having a Cofounder

The Supreme People's Court has reinforced its "zero tolerance" policy toward the abuse and mistreatment of minors, underscoring the urgent need for severe penalties to fully safeguard children's health and safety.最高人民法院重申对侵害未成年人行为坚持 “零容忍” 态度，强调必须依法从严惩处，全力守护未成年人身心健康与生命安全。The court said that severe punishment is necessary in cases of prolonged abuse, especially those involving cruel methods that result in a minor's death. It urged judges nationwide to take a firm stance against crimes targeting children.法院表示，对于长期虐待未成年人、采用残忍手段并造成未成年人死亡的案件，必须依法严惩，并要求全国各级法官坚决打击侵害未成年人的犯罪行为。In a landmark case released by the court last week, a woman surnamed Wen was sentenced to death for abusing and injuring a 2-year-old girl.上周，最高人民法院发布一起典型案例，一名温姓女子因虐待、伤害一名两岁女童，被依法判处死刑。According to the court, Wen lived with a married man surnamed Tian and his biological daughter from February to December 2023. During that period, Wen and Tian repeatedly abused the child by tying her up, hanging her, forcing her to stand for long periods, and subjecting her to cold and hunger. They also beat her with their fists, slippers, spatulas, wooden sticks and other objects.法院通报显示，2023 年 2 月至 12 月期间，温某与已婚的田某共同生活，家中还有田某的亲生女儿。在此期间，温某与田某多次虐待该女童，包括将其捆绑、悬吊、罚站，让其忍饥受冻，还使用拳头、拖鞋、锅铲、木棍等物品殴打孩子。On Dec 21, 2023, after Tian left for work, Wen severely beat the girl with a phone charging cable and other objects for wetting the bed, causing her to convulse and collapse. Wen then called Tian, and they took the child to a hospital, where she died.2023 年 12 月 21 日，田某外出务工后，女童因尿床遭到温某用手机充电线等物品猛烈殴打，随后女童抽搐倒地。温某随即联系田某，二人将孩子送往医院救治，最终女童经抢救无效死亡。The lower court found that Wen, acting in collusion with Tian, had committed both abuse and intentional injury. Her long-term and repeated actions, coupled with the beating on the day of the incident directly caused the rupture of the victim's right atrium, leading to her death, the court ruled.下级法院审理查明，温某伙同田某，实施虐待及故意伤害行为。温某长期多次施暴，加之案发当日的殴打行为，直接造成被害人右心房破裂，最终导致女童死亡。"The woman's behavior severely violated social morality and fundamental human principles," the court said.法院指出，该女子的行为严重违背社会公德与人伦底线。Given the heinous nature of the crimes, the cruel methods used and the severe social impact, Wen was sentenced to death for intentional injury and abuse, with lifelong deprivation of political rights. Following review and approval by the court, Wen was executed.鉴于其犯罪情节极其恶劣、作案手段残忍、社会危害极大，温某因犯故意伤害罪、虐待罪被判处死刑，剥夺政治权利终身。经最高人民法院复核核准，温某已被依法执行死刑。The court added that Tian, as the victim's father, not only failed to stop Wen's abuse but also condoned and participated in it, making him a principal offender. For his role in the crimes, Tian was sentenced to life imprisonment for intentional injury and abuse.法院同时表示，被害人父亲田某不仅未制止温某的虐待行为，反而纵容、参与施暴，系本案主犯。田某因犯故意伤害罪、虐待罪，被判处无期徒刑。In another case disclosed by the SPC, a teacher promptly reported suspected abuse to a local court after noticing wounds on a teenage girl's face and body. Subsequent investigations found that the girl had been abused by her mother, who was later sentenced to seven years in prison.最高人民法院还公布了另一起案例：一名教师发现一名未成年女孩面部和身体存在伤痕后，立即向当地司法机关上报疑似遭虐待的线索。经调查核实，施暴者为女孩的母亲，其最终被判处有期徒刑七年。The SPC said that child abuse inflicts lasting damage to minors' physical and mental development, disrupts family bonds and erodes social morality. It stressed that such acts are "not merely domestic issues" but are "violations of the law and breaches of basic human ethics".最高人民法院表示，虐待未成年人会对其身心发展造成长久伤害，破坏家庭亲情，败坏社会风气。此类行为绝非单纯的家务事，而是触犯法律、违背人伦的违法行为。The court emphasized that the family should be a haven of love, the "first lesson" in a child's healthy development and the "first line of defense" in safeguarding children's rights.法院强调，家庭本应是充满关爱的港湾，是未成年人健康成长的第一课堂，也是保障未成年人合法权益的第一道防线。However, some guardians neglect their responsibilities, mistakenly justifying abuse as being "for the child's own good", or even participating in harm following changes in family relationships, the SPC said.最高人民法院指出，部分监护人漠视自身责任，错误地将虐待行为辩解为 “为孩子好”，还有人因家庭关系变故，进而伤害未成年人。"Such actions turn the family into a place of distress for minors, severely infringe upon their rights, and cross both legal and moral boundaries," it said.此类行为让家庭沦为未成年人遭受痛苦的场所，严重侵犯未成年人合法权益，同时逾越了法律与道德的底线。The SPC called for a stronger crackdown on crimes against minors and stressed that guardians must fulfill their responsibilities in caring for, educating and supervising children.最高人民法院要求持续加大对侵害未成年人犯罪的打击力度，同时强调监护人必须依法履行对未成年人的抚养、教育和监护职责。It also urged various sectors of society, including civil affairs departments, women's federations, community committees and public security organs, to strengthen child protection efforts and provide more comprehensive safeguards.法院同时呼吁民政、妇联、居委会、公安等社会各界力量，协同强化未成年人保护工作，构建更加全面的防护体系。minor /ˈmaɪnə(r)/ n. 未成年人abuse /əˈbjuːz/ v. & n. 虐待；滥用heinous /ˈheɪnəs/ adj. 极其恶劣的，十恶不赦的safeguard /ˈseɪfɡɑːd/ v. & n. 保护；保障措施

U 35. epizodi podkasta PPP, iako se u načelu ne bavimo Evrovizijom (Miljan za to ima poseban kanal na engleskom jeziku – @ESCMiljan), ovog puta se ipak bavimo i ovom temom, analizirajući tehničke i organizacione aspekte takmičenja u Beču i pravo značenje pobedničke pesme. Nakon toga, detaljno prelazimo na dramatična dešavanja u vrhu bezbednosnih struktura i unutar same Srpske pravoslavne crkve. Sagledavamo pozadinu odluke Svetog arhijerejskog sabora o razrešenju mitropolita žičkog Justina. Analiziramo istorijsku matricu i institucionalne šablone koje SPC decenijama koristi prilikom administrativnih smena u eparhijama, kao i specifičnu dinamiku glasanja unutar najvišeg crkvenog tela. U fokusu ove epizode je i zvanična istraga Višeg javnog tužilaštva na Senjaku koja je dovela do određivanja pritvora bivšem načelniku Policijske uprave za grad Beograd, Veselinu Miliću, i još devetoro lica. Istražujemo ekonomske motive ovog slučaja, višemilionske građevinske investicije na Novom Beogradu i ulogu pojedinaca iz državnog aparata u logističkim strukturama. Takođe, preispitujemo restriktivne bezbednosne pravilnike uvedene u srednjim školama u Beogradu i Novom Sadu, reakcije roditelja i đaka, kao i političke izjave zvaničnika povodom formiranja novih izbornih i studentskih lista pred najavljene ulične skupove na Slaviji. Na samom kraju, osvrćemo se na regionalne diplomatske odnose povodom dve decenije od promene državnog statusa Crne Gore, kao i na globalne geopolitičke pregovore u Kini koji direktno utiču na stabilnost u Aziji.

Witam Państwa, nazywam się Jarosław Drożdż, pracuję w Centralnym Szpitalu Klinicznym Uniwersytetu Medycznego w Łodzi, skąd nagrywam podcast Kardio Know-How. W tym odcinku omawiam kolejną część badań opublikowanych podczas kongresu ACC 2026. Już za tydzień w Gdańsku odbędzie się największy doroczny kongres Europejskiego Towarzystwa Nadciśnienia Tętniczego ESH, co jest ogromnym sukcesem prof. Krzysztofa Narkiewicza i całego środowiska polskich hipertensjologów, a jednym z głównych tematów pozostaje nadal niedostatecznie skuteczne leczenie nadciśnienia tętniczego mimo dostępności nowoczesnych terapii SPC i jasno określonych celów terapeutycznych. Analizując tegoroczny kongres ACC pod kątem nadciśnienia tętniczego, szczególną uwagę zwróciłem na badanie MOMENTUM prowadzone przez Deepaka Bhata, dotyczące hiperkortyzolemii jako potencjalnie bardzo częstej przyczyny wtórnego nadciśnienia tętniczego. Kortyzol, będący hormonem stresu produkowanym przez korę nadnerczy, poprzez aktywację układu RAA, retencję sodu, wzrost aktywności układu współczulnego i zaburzenia funkcji śródbłonka może prowadzić do nadciśnienia, niewydolności serca, udarów i zawałów serca. W badaniu wykazano, że ponad 27% pacjentów leczonych trzema lub czterema lekami hipotensyjnymi spełnia kryteria hiperkortyzolemii, a część z nich ma dodatkowo guzy nadnerczy, co sugeruje, że problem ten może być znacznie częstszy niż dotąd sądziliśmy. Co ważne, pacjentów tych praktycznie nie da się odróżnić klinicznie od pozostałych chorych z nadciśnieniem, choć częściej mają gorszą funkcję nerek, wyższy poziom glikemii oraz większe ryzyko migotania przedsionków, choroby wieńcowej i niewydolności serca. Wyniki badania opublikowano w JACC: https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacadv.2026.102596 i mogą one stać się początkiem rozwoju nowych terapii ukierunkowanych na zaburzenia osi kortyzolowej. Drugim ciekawym doniesieniem było badanie KARDINAL dotyczące leku Tonlamarsen — oligonukleotydu antysensowego podawanego podskórnie raz w miesiącu, który hamuje produkcję angiotensynogenu wątrobowego i pozwala obniżyć ciśnienie tętnicze średnio o około 10 mmHg. Wyniki te opublikowano w JACC: https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.2026.03.034 i pokazują, że przyszłość leczenia nadciśnienia może należeć do terapii iniekcyjnych działających miesiącami zamiast codziennego przyjmowania tabletek. Trzecim niezwykle ważnym wątkiem była koncepcja GoFreshRx, przypominająca, że skuteczna walka z nadciśnieniem nie polega wyłącznie na farmakoterapii, ale również na zmianie środowiska żywieniowego i ograniczaniu dostępności produktów prowadzących do otyłości oraz chorób sercowo-naczyniowych. W prezentacjach przypomniano dwa ważne artykuły z NEJM pokazujące, że poprawa jakości dostępnej żywności może obniżać ciśnienie tętnicze, BMI, cholesterol LDL oraz HbA1c w całych populacjach: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2105675 oraz https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1800389. Nadal jednak uważam, że podstawą skutecznego leczenia nadciśnienia pozostają szybkie decyzje terapeutyczne podejmowane już przez pierwszego lekarza, stosowanie leków złożonych SPC, utrzymywanie prawidłowej masy ciała przez całe dorosłe życie oraz regularna aktywność fizyczna, bo bez tego nawet najbardziej nowoczesne terapie nie odwrócą skutków współczesnego stylu życia. Szczegółowy TRANSKRYPT do odcinka.Podcast jest przeznaczony wyłącznie dla osób z profesjonalnym wykształceniem medycznym.

Amit Jain, cofounder and CEO of Luma AI, joins South Park Commons Partner Finn Meeks to explain why the most defensible AI companies aren't just building tools—they're developing systems that can understand and simulate the world.Amit traces Luma's path from a free 3D capture app designed to gather training data, through an early bet that video generation was finally viable, to the unified model architecture powering Luma Agents today. He explains why most AI products still break at execution, why foundation labs blur the line between product and research, and why they are the blueprint for the companies of the future.Amit Jain: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gravicle/ Finn Meeks: https://www.linkedin.com/in/finn-meeks/ South Park Commons: https://www.linkedin.com/company/southparkcommons/Apply to SPC: https://www.southparkcommons.com/applyChapters:(00:00:00) - Apple's LiDAR work seeded Luma's founding vision (00:05:05) - A free app was secretly a data collection operation (00:06:49) - H100s made video generation stop feeling impossible (00:10:00) - Most definitions of "world model" are simply wrong (00:14:37) - Why unified models beat pure video scaling (00:20:03) - Luma Agents and the end-to-end creative production loop (00:23:00) - The knowledge gap no model can close alone(00:29:34) - Blowing James Cameron's mind in five minutes (00:31:16) - Why consumer video generation failed—and who it's actually for (00:35:23) - Product and research aren't two things at a foundation lab

In this episode, we explore the Clear Drop Soft Plastic Compactor, an at-home appliance designed to address a gap in household recycling. The countertop device compresses flexible plastics—grocery bags, film, wrappers, and packaging materials typically rejected by curbside programs—into dense 3-pound bricks that are then shipped to Clear Drop's recycling partners. By compacting materials that would otherwise go to landfill, the SPC reduces waste volume by up to 90% in some settings and, according to the company's estimates, can divert nearly 40 pounds of soft plastics per household annually while saving approximately 60 pounds of CO₂ emissions through reduced transport. Available through a pre-order program at $200 down plus $50 monthly for 24 months, the device is part of Clear Drop's broader ZeroTrash ecosystem and comes with a 2-year warranty and 30-day trial. We discuss how the SPC fits into daily routines, the practicality of a subscription-based recycling model, and whether standardizing and tracing household plastic waste represents a meaningful step toward diverting materials from landfills or simply a more convenient workaround within our current consumption patterns.

In this long-awaited return to a Spontaneous Paranormal Conversation, Megan and Isaac sit down live to catch up on everything happening behind the scenes. Both in their lives and in the unseen world around them. After a month or so away from these raw, unfiltered discussions, they dive straight into recent paranormal experiences, including vivid “Mall World” encounters, unsettling dream patterns, and the possibility of timeline shifts and personal Mandela Effects.The conversation weaves through eerie theories and real-life phenomena from shared dream landscapes that resemble Norway blended with coastal North Carolina, to the strange connection between physical symptoms and spiritual activity. They also explore the chilling idea of cellular memory in organ transplants and whether pieces of the soul or abilities can transfer between people.As the discussion unfolds, Megan and Isaac reflect on how their journey in the paranormal has evolved over the years, moving beyond beginner topics into deeper, experience-based insights. They tease upcoming episodes on CE5, crossroads energy, haunted objects, and the science behind psychic sight, while also sharing plans for future investigations and collaborations.With live audience interaction, questions about the Men in Black, Appalachian folklore, and psychic development, this episode captures the unpredictable, thought-provoking energy that SPC episodes are known for.Disclaimer: This episode was recorded live during an interactive session with our audience.

Haya shares the origin of “Seek Pain”—Replit's most counterintuitive cultural principle—and how a relentless focus on what's not working drives better products, faster learning, and stronger teams.Amjad Masad: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amjadmasad/ Haya Odeh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/haya-odeh-b0725928/ Ruchi Sanghvi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rsanghvi/ Aditya Agarwal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adityaagarwal3/ South Park Commons: https://www.linkedin.com/company/southparkcommons/Apply to SPC: https://www.southparkcommons.com/applyCHAPTERS:(00:00:00) - Coming to America broke (and building anyway)(00:04:27) - Early Replit proof points kept the mission alive(00:07:02) - Cloud vs. local: why security tips the scales(00:10:09) - Execute daily, predict quarterly(00:11:35) - The 2023 roadmap Replit just finished executing(00:16:01) - Agent 4 and the end of context amnesia(00:22:01) - The death of the ICP(00:24:47) - What actually changed in AI models December 2024(00:28:52) - "Seek Pain"—Replit's most counterintuitive cultural value(00:34:55) - Why consultants are the most mispriced AI-era hire(00:38:00) - Co-founding with your partner—the honest answer(00:43:25) - Make micro-predictions or get left behind by AI(00:45:19) - Raising kids in a world you can't predict

For more information and support, join us at https://thecirsgroup.com In their 150th The CIRS Group podcast episode(!!), Jacie and Barbara share practical guidance for reducing actinos in the home, emphasizing that consistent removal matters because a CIRS patient can react whether actinos are dead or alive. This is NOT medical advice: Actinos guidance is leading-edge in the CIRS space, but they share what has worked for them and members of The CIRS Group.  For skin, they discuss Defense soap, lava soap, Selsun Blue, Lume acidifying wash, and Johnson's Baby Shampoo (noting dryness/irritation tradeoffs), plus probiotic lotion for localized issues. For laundry, they recommend washing clothing after one wear, and frequently washing bedding, pillows, and towels. For the home, they advise using a sealed HEPA vacuum broadly (walls, furniture, mattress, woven items), dry and damp dusting (including walls with a wet Swiffer), and using masks. If you feel overwhelmed, try breaking cleaning into manageable chunks, and consider help from cleaners, friends, or family.

Digital twins and machine learning are redefining batch optimization in manufacturing. Learn how centerlining models can catch quality issues in real time before they become irreversible.Concepts like digital twins, golden batch profiles, and statistical process control have long promised more than they delivered. Virag Vora of Twin Thread argues that layering machine learning on top of these ideas is what finally brings them to life. In this context, a digital twin is entirely data centric: a real time and historical representation of a process that serves as the foundation for AI models.The core use case is batch centerlining. The model compares current conditions against historically successful profiles, segmented by raw material source, product type, and seasonality. An orange juice manufacturer uses Twin Thread to determine whether incoming fruit should be sold fresh or routed to concentrate based on seasonal sugar content. The model identifies contributing variables in real time and alerts operators before a batch drifts beyond recovery.Twin Thread tackles the "not enough data" objection head on. With over 60 connectors, the platform works with the fragmented data reality of most manufacturing sites. Even low frequency data can train a useful model that quantifies what higher resolution instrumentation would unlock.Virag draws a clear line between ML and LLMs for process control. ML models trained on historical data produce deterministic outputs trusted for real time guidance on machine settings. LLMs excel at document retrieval and natural language interaction but are not suited for recommending set points on a live line. Twin Thread layers both: ML handles optimization, while Twin Thread Advisor lets users interrogate data and configure models through conversation.The standout proof point is Hills Pet Nutrition. After three years on Twin Thread, their models automatically feed recommendations into live production. That closed loop followed a deliberate path from human validation to A/B trials to automated execution with operator opt out.About Virag VoraVirag Vora is a solutions professional at Twin Thread, a platform that combines data centric digital twins with machine learning to optimize manufacturing processes. With a background in chemical engineering, Virag began his career deploying MES and DCS systems in biotech and pharma before joining Tulip and then Twin Thread. He helps manufacturers connect their existing data infrastructure to AI powered optimization across batch, continuous, and hybrid processes.Timestamps0:00 Introduction1:20 Virag's background in chemical engineering and industrial software6:30 Moving up the ISA 95 stack from DCS to MES and applications9:00 How AI reinvents digital twin, golden batch, and SPC concepts12:20 What a data centric digital twin actually looks like21:40 Where digital twins deliver the most value in manufacturing27:00 Seasonality, segmentation, and model training strategies36:00 Data prerequisites for deploying industrial AI41:40 Flavors of AI in manufacturing: ML, LLMs, and agentic workflows50:40 Closed loop AI control at Hills Pet Nutrition53:10 Personal project: Family Graph using knowledge graphs56:20 Prediction: operators as human digital twinsReferencesTwin Thread: https://twinthread.comThis episode is sponsored byMaintainX is an AI powered maintenance and operations platform that helps technicians get the answers they need instantly so they can focus on getting assets back online.

Strong cold front will sweep across the area Sunday evening   A few strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible along the front   Strong northerly winds of 35-45mph will occur behind the front Sunday night into early Monday   Frost possible Tuesday morning   Tranquil weather today and much of Sunday will quickly change as a late season powerful cold front sweeps across the region late Sunday afternoon/evening. Temperatures on Sunday will warm into the mid and even upper 80's ahead of this boundary and this will create an increasingly unstable atmosphere favorable for some storm development along the incoming front. Do we see a broken line or more solid line of storms is questionable, but some activity is likely and nearly all of the high resolution guidance shows activity along the front. Front should cross the metro area between 500pm-900pm with activity quickly exiting to the east and south. A few storms along the front could become severe with damaging winds and large hail being the main threats. SE TX is on the southwest tail end of a larger scale severe weather outbreak focusing to our northeast. SPC has placed all of the region in a level 1 out of 5 risk for severe thunderstorms on Sunday evening. Once the front passes, strong northerly winds will ensue with frequent gusts of 35-45mph through Sunday night into early Monday as a cold air mass pours into the region. Winds will start to come down on Monday as the surface high builds over the area but will remain gusty. This will create a favorable period of high fire danger with gusty winds and low humidity values, but recent rains and ongoing “green-up” may help mitigate otherwise favorable fire weather factors. Note that highs on Monday in the mid 50's will be some 30 degrees colder than Sunday. Depending on cloud cover that may pass over the area late Monday…there is the potential for late season frost or even a light freeze int eh colder outlying locations on Tuesday morning. The post Strong cold front will sweep across the area Sunday evening appeared first on Weather Insights.

Grant Lee, cofounder and CEO of Gamma, joins South Park Commons General Partner Jonathan Brebner to discuss how his AI storytelling platform is taking on PowerPoint and Google Slides. Grant shares how Gamma survived the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, how they stayed lean while scaling to a $2B valuation, and why he believes “different beats better” when competing against entrenched incumbents. He also gets into the role of storytelling in product, hiring, and growth—and why publishing content (and pushing through "cringe valley") might be the most underrated thing a founder can do.Grant Lee: https://www.linkedin.com/in/grantslee/ Jonathan Brebner: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-brebner/South Park Commons: https://www.linkedin.com/company/southparkcommons/Apply to SPC: https://www.southparkcommons.com/applyChapters:(00:00:00) - Intro(00:02:41) - The Frustration With Slides That Sparked Gamma(00:04:02) - Reuniting With Co-Founders From Optimizely(00:08:46) - The Real Competition: Behavior Change(00:10:37) - The ‘Bet the Company' Moment and the SVB Crisis(00:14:43) - Why Gamma Built a Lean Team and Hires Slowly(00:17:49) - Why Storytelling Is a Core Founder Skill(00:20:51) - How Gamma Balances AI Automation With Human Creativity(00:23:40) - Why Founders Must Survive “Cringe Valley”(00:31:17) - Building Gamma for Prosumer and Enterprise Growth

China is continuing to strengthen judicial protection for minors, maintaining a "zero tolerance" stance toward crimes against children while applying a balanced approach combining punishment, education and rehabilitation for juvenile offenders, according to work reports from the nation's top judicial authorities.根据中国最高司法机关的工作报告，中国正在持续加强未成年人司法保护，对侵害未成年人犯罪零容忍，同时对涉罪未成年人依法采取惩治、教育和感化相结合的平衡策略。Zhang Jun, president of the Supreme People's Court, and Ying Yong, prosecutor-general of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, presented their annual work reports on Monday at the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress, China's top legislature, for deliberation.最高人民法院院长张军、最高人民检察院检察长应勇9日分别在十四届全国人大四次会议上作年度工作报告，提请全国人大代表审议。According to the SPP report, prosecutions for crimes against minors and cases involving juvenile suspects both declined in 2025, falling 2.2 percent and 9.8 percent year-on-year, respectively — the first simultaneous drop in five years.根据最高检工作报告，2025年，检察机关起诉侵害未成年人犯罪和受理审查起诉未成年人犯罪同比分别下降2.2%和9.8%，为近五年首次“双下降”。Prosecutors charged 73,000 people last year for crimes infringing on minors' rights. Courts nationwide concluded 40,000 cases involving crimes against minors in 2025, down 1.8 percent from the previous year, and convicted 44,000 offenders.2025年，检察机关对侵害未成年人权益犯罪提起公诉7.3万人。全国法院审结侵害未成年人犯罪案件4万件，同比下降1.8%，判处罪犯4.4万人。Courts also barred 1,199 individuals from working in positions involving close contact with minors and imposed the death penalty in extremely serious cases involving severe harm to children.法院还对1199名实施侵害的犯罪分子判决终身禁止从事密切接触未成年人的工作，并在罪行极其严重的案件中依法适用死刑。For juvenile offenders, prosecutors continued to apply a policy combining punishment with education and rehabilitation. Prosecutors charged 56,000 minors, while 16,000 juveniles involved in minor offenses who showed remorse were granted conditional nonprosecution.对涉罪未成年人依法惩治、教育、感化、挽救，起诉5.6万人；对犯罪情节轻微、积极认罪悔罪的，附条件不起诉1.6万人。For particularly serious cases, authorities pursued accountability. The SPP approved the prosecution of 24 offenders ages 12 to 14 for severe violent crimes, underscoring that serious offenses must be punished, the report said.报告指出，对于情节特别恶劣的案件，司法机关依法追究责任。最高人民检察院依法核准追诉低龄未成年人（12至14岁）严重暴力犯罪24人，恶性犯罪必须惩治。According to an amendment to China's Criminal Law that took effect on March 1, 2021, children ages 12 to 14 can be held criminally liable for intentional homicide or intentional injury causing death or severe disability through particularly cruel means, subject to approval for prosecution by the SPP. The provision conditionally lowered the minimum age of criminal responsibility from 14 to 12 for particularly serious violent crimes.根据2021年3月1日起施行的刑法修正案，已满12周岁不满14周岁的未成年人，犯故意杀人、故意伤害罪，致人死亡或者以特别残忍手段致人重伤造成严重残疾，情节恶劣，经最高人民检察院核准追诉的，应当负刑事责任。该条款将特定严重暴力犯罪的刑事责任最低年龄由14岁有条件地降低至12岁。The SPC report said that courts continued to apply a balanced approach of strictness and leniency. A 14-year-old student who killed a classmate was sentenced to life imprisonment, while 2,356 juveniles convicted of serious violent crimes received prison terms of more than five years. At the same time, 5,822 minors who committed relatively minor offenses received more lenient punishment.最高法工作报告指出，法院坚持宽严相济的刑事政策。对杀害女同学的某14岁学生依法顶格判处无期徒刑，2356名实施严重暴力犯罪的未成年人被判处五年以上有期徒刑；同时，对5822名犯罪情节较轻的未成年人依法从宽处罚。Through a combination of education, rehabilitation and corrective measures, the previously rising trend in juvenile crime has been effectively curbed, the report said.报告称，通过教育、感化、挽救相结合的综合措施，未成年人犯罪高发势头得到有效遏制。Authorities have also strengthened a coordinated child protection system. Courts handled criminal, civil and administrative cases involving minors in an integrated manner to better align the country's "six protection" framework, which involves families, schools, society, the online sector, government departments and the judiciary.相关部门还加强了未成年人保护协同机制。法院对涉未成年人刑事、民事、行政案件实行"三审合一"融合办理，以更好对接国家的家庭、学校、社会、网络、政府、司法"六大保护"体系。Procuratorial authorities also worked with other agencies to improve systems for handling juvenile misconduct, including expanding specialized schools, strengthening graded intervention and correction mechanisms, and promoting policies such as mandatory reporting in cases involving minors and background checks for jobs involving close contact with children.检察机关还联合其他部门，完善未成年人罪错行为分级干预体系，包括推动专门学校建设扩面提质，强化分级干预矫治机制，以及推动落实侵害成年人案件强制报告、密切接触未成年人行业从业查询等制度。Yang Jianbo, director of the SPP's Law and Policy Research Office, said the simultaneous decline in crimes against minors and juvenile offenses sends a "positive signal", reflecting progress in both protecting minors and preventing youth crime.最高人民检察院法律政策研究室主任杨剑波表示，侵害未成年人犯罪与未成年人犯罪案件量同时下降释放了"积极信号"，反映出我国在未成年人保护和预防未成年人犯罪方面取得的进展。Yang said that prevention is a form of protection, and punishment can help rehabilitate juvenile offenders. Those whose crimes involve malicious intent or cause serious harm are punished in accordance with the law.杨剑波说，预防本身就是保护，惩治也是为了挽救。对于那些主观恶性深、危害严重的未成年人犯罪，必须依法予以惩处。rehabilitation /ˌriː(h)əˌbɪlɪˈteɪʃən/ 挽救；改造（罪犯）prosecution /ˌprɒsɪˈkjuːʃən/起诉；检举remorse /rɪˈmɔːs/悔恨；自责be held criminally liable /biː held ˈkrɪmɪnəli ˈlaɪəbəl/被追究刑事责任leniency /ˈliːniənsi/宽大；仁慈life imprisonment /laɪf ɪmˈprɪzənmənt/无期徒刑procuratorial authority /ˌprɒkjʊərəˈtɔːriəl ɔːˈθɒrəti/检察机关

In 2018, Andrew Yang warned that automation would destabilize society by displacing millions of jobs. Eight years later, he says the crisis is no longer hypothetical—"you're already seeing it."Andrew joins his early mentor, SPC General Partner Mark Jacobstein, and Aditya Agarwal to unpack where we go from here: what UBI looks like in practice, why white-collar workers are more exposed than he originally thought, why tech founders should get more involved in politics (but not necessarily run for office), and why his new company Noble Mobile will pay you to spend less time on your phone.Andrew Yang: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewyangvfa/Aditya Agarwal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adityaagarwal3/Mark Jacobstein: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markjacobstein/South Park Commons: https://www.linkedin.com/company/southparkcommons/Apply to SPC: https://www.southparkcommons.com/applyChapters:(00:02:30) - Andrew's origin story(00:08:56) - His 2018 AI warning(00:12:00) - Spotting trends earlier than other people(00:18:22) - Getting into the political arena rather than sitting on the sidelines(00:21:56) - The #1 most impactful way to change politics right now(00:27:19) - Noble Mobile: less doom scrolling, lower monthly bills(00:34:41) - His updated take on AI job losses and Universal Basic Income(00:39:09) - Human dignity and meaning in an AI world

This podcast episode provides a comprehensive overview of the current meteorological conditions affecting various regions across the United States, emphasizing a marginal risk for severe thunderstorms in the Southern Plains. We meticulously detail the potential for isolated hail and gusty winds, particularly during the evening and overnight hours. Moreover, the episode highlights the risk of excessive rainfall, which may lead to broader flooding threats extending eastward over the weekend. We also caution listeners about hazardous conditions, including low water crossings along the California and Oregon coasts, as well as significant beach hazards characterized by powerful rip currents and sneaker waves. Conclusively, we urge our audience to remain vigilant and prioritize safety as we navigate these adverse weather conditions.Takeaways:* The Storm Prediction Center has issued a marginal risk for severe thunderstorms in the Southern Plains today.* Isolated hail and gusty winds are anticipated this evening and overnight in affected regions.* A broader threat of heavy rain and flooding is expected to expand eastward over the weekend.* Hazardous conditions may arise at low water crossings along the California and Oregon coasts this weekend.* Beach hazards are in effect due to sneaker waves and strong rip currents on northwest facing beaches.* A notable earthquake occurred near Ivanoff Bay, Alaska, but no tsunami alert was issued.Sources[USGS | https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/?extent=-89.50704%2C-547.03125&extent=89.50096%2C577.96875&listOnlyShown=true&timeZone=utc][NWS SF Bay Area | https://www.weather.gov/mtr/][NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard | https://www.weather.gov/lox/][NWS Tampa Bay | https://www.weather.gov/tbw/][NWS Melbourne | https://www.weather.gov/mlb/][USGS Event Page | https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000s8ml/executive][SPC | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=txt&issuedby=DY1&product=SWO&site=JKL&version=1][NWS Portland | https://www.weather.gov/pqr/][NWS Houston/Galveston | https://www.weather.gov/hgx/][SPC Day 1 Outlook | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=txt&issuedby=DY1&product=SWO&site=JKL&version=1] This is a public episode.

"I think the mission basically doesn't matter."Waseem Daher, CEO of Pilot (and South Park Commons alum), has a contrarian theory about what actually drives startup success—and it's not passion for the problem you're solving. Waseem joins General Partner Aditya Agarwal to unpack the real patterns behind building companies: why his "thinking time" after Dropbox was torture, why he believes passion is an output rather than an input, and why the conventional wisdom on hiring and delegation is dangerously wrong. Waseem Daher: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wdaher/Aditya Agarwal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adityaagarwal3/South Park Commons: https://www.linkedin.com/company/southparkcommons/Apply to SPC: https://www.southparkcommons.com/applyChapters:00:00:37 - Intro00:02:57 - Why mission doesn't matter00:12:36 - Waseem's miserable time after Dropbox00:16:10 - Testing vs sitting around brainstorming00:31:38 - The case for micromanagement00:34:05 - How LLMs are changing company creation and scaling00:37:42 - The mindset shift that makes startups energizing

In this spontaneous SPC catch-up, Megan and Isaac finally sit down to explain where they've been and why the past month and a half completely derailed their plans for consistency. What starts as a simple update quickly turns deeper. Isaac opens up about a sudden knee injury, the frustrating lack of medical answers, and a recovery that didn't follow any normal pattern. At the same time, Megan shares how she had already been drawn toward healing work using jars, herbs, symbols, and intuitive energy long before the injury happened. What followed was a week of nightly, instinct-led healing that shifted Isaac's pain in ways neither of them expected.As physical healing unfolds, emotional and spiritual layers begin to surface. Isaac describes confronting buried grief, fear, and past versions of himself what many would call shadow work. Megan reflects on unpacking long-held emotions tied to disappointment, trauma, and identity, giving those feelings form and understanding where they began.Just when things couldn't get stranger, a routine MRI throws everything into chaos: a mysterious piece of metal appears in Isaac's knee, with no memory of an injury to explain it. From there, the conversation moves into unsettling childhood memories, missing time, implanted objects, and the possibility that some experiences may not have purely earthly explanations.This episode was recorded live during an Instagram show, so the format may feel a little different than a typical recording. Overall, this is a thinking-out-loud conversation between two people making sense of overlapping physical injuries, spiritual awakenings, emotional release, and high strangeness. There are no conclusions just questions, shared experiences, and honesty about how weird life has been lately.Consider this the official “here's what the hell happened” episode.Political & Human Rights DisclaimerToward the end of this episode, we briefly discuss politics. We know this is not everyone's cup of tea, but it was something we felt needed to be addressed. Over the years, many assumptions have been made about where we stand, and a lot of those assumptions are completely opposite of our actual beliefs. For us, this conversation has moved beyond politics and into the realm of human rights. We have addressed this openly and honestly during the live recording and across our social media, and we do not plan on being silent about it. While the paranormal will always be at the core of what we do, we also believe in speaking up for people. We are openly against ICE and Donald Trump, and we understand that some listeners may not agree with our stance. That said, we have never sugar-coated who we are or what we believe. This is our truth. If this is where our paths diverge and our stance makes you uncomfortable enough to move on, that choice is yours. We want to be very clear about the space we hold here: we stand for all people, regardless of ethnicity, race, gender, how you identify, or who you choose to love. As long as you lead with good intentions, this is a safe space, and you are welcomed here with open arms.Music CreditsIntro and Outro Music: “Swamp Witch”Additional Intro Music: “Stacy Dahl” by MaudlinFollow Maudlin on TikTok and Instagram: @maudlinListen to Hidden in The Shadows Podcast on Spotify and YouTubeShare Your Paranormal ExperiencesSend us a message on social media, fill out our contact form, or email us:

As both a science and an art, acoustics can make or break the way a space functions. In this ICYMI article-read episode based on "The Art and Science of Acoustics," by Armstrong's Kenneth Wood, published on the interiors+sources website on Oct. 16, 2025, we break down the fundamentals of how sound behaves in interiors, why ceilings and plenums matter more than many teams realize, and how designers can align performance goals with real occupant expectations. You'll get a clear, designer-friendly tour of common acoustic metrics and a breakdown of how these numbers work together in the real world. The episode also outlines the four levels of speech privacy (from confidential to none) and offers a simple, best-practice framework—Absorb, Block, Cover (ABCs)—including a “good/better/best” approach to specifying ceiling and wall systems. If you design workplaces, healthcare, education, or any environment where focus and privacy matter, this one's a must-save. What you'll learn in this episode: The four ways sound moves through a space and why material choices drive outcomes Why ceilings are often the highest-leverage acoustic surface (and how plenums become sound highways) What NRC, CAC, STC, NIC, RT, PI, and SPC actually tell you (and what they don't) How to set the right speech privacy target for open plan vs. enclosed rooms The ABC strategy (Absorb/Block/Cover) and a “good/better/best” spec mindset

U 22. epizodi Peder, Pop i Pravnik Podcasta cepamo nekoliko „svetih krava“ odjednom. Prvo se bavimo intervjuom mitropolita bačkog u Pečatu i njegovom tvrdnjom da se „ne bavi politikom“ – a onda prolazimo kroz delove intervjua koji vrlo jasno ulaze u politički teren. Razlažemo šta znači kad crkveni vrh tvrdi da je van politike, dok istovremeno aktivno učestvuje u oblikovanju javnog mnjenja. Zatim ulazimo u priču o kalendarima: zašto se i dalje tvrdoglavo čuvamo julijanskog, iako je SPC zvanično prihvatila Milankovićev (a nikad ga zapravo nije primenila)? Kome je u interesu da se širi mit da su pravoslavni novokalendarci „na papinom“ kalendaru, i zašto se narodu nikad jasno ne ispriča priča o srpskom, Milankovićevom kalendaru – iako se trenutno poklapa sa gregorijanskim? Pričamo i o svakodnevnoj šizofreniji: kako „papin“ kalendar smeta za Božić, ali ne smeta za platu, kredit i godišnji odmor; zašto se pravi veštačka dihotomija između „običnog“ i „verskog“ života; i šta uopšte znače običaji u 21. veku, kad čovek iz velikog grada nema ni šumu da ode po badnjak, ali ima parking ispred tržnog centra. Dotaknemo se i simbolike badnjaka: ako badnjak u pesmici zovemo „ti naš dragi rođače“ i ako simbolizuje Hrista – zašto ga onda ritualno bacamo u vatru, i koliko se tu izgubio izvorni smisao, a koliko je ostao samo folklor, roštilj i petarde. Pitamо se i šta će biti za manje od 100 godina, kada razlika između julijanskog i gregorijanskog kalendara naraste na dodatni dan i Božić padne 8. januara. Da li će nastati novi raskol među onima koji ne razumeju pitanje kalendara i misle da je 7. januar neki „sveti datum“ (zašto uopšte izražavamo datume po „novom“ kalendaru)? I zašto se SPC već sada ne posveti tome da spreči budući raskol – ako Crkva tvrdi da se bavi večnošću, onda je manje od 100 godina u crkvenom smislu samo tren. Tu su i neke sveže anegdote iz života SPC, pa mali geopolitički skok do Venecuele i najnovijeg američkog upada – i kako se isti obrasci moći vide i u crkvenim, i u svetskim strukturama. Na kraju – posebno iznenađenje za ljubitelje poezije vladike Fotija, uz naš prepoznatljivi komentar.

On WeatherBrains this week, we're diving deep into the Weather Prediction Center's Winter Program - how they forecast snow and ice, the challenges of nailing accumulation totals, the coordination calls with NWS field offices, and what the future may hold for winter weather headlines. Joining us are two of WC's best: Peter Mullinax, a lead winter forecaster who produces national snow and ice guidance, Key Messages, and a wide range of surface, short-range, rainfall, and tropical products; and Dr. Owen Shieh, WPC's Warning Coordination Meteorologist, providing national-level decision support for winter storms, flooding, and extreme temperatures. He returns after last week's episode, bringing his deep background in emergency management, training, and operational meteorology from JTWC to the U.S. Navy Reserve.

John discusses Trump's twisted version of the Afghan man who allegedly gunned down two National Guard members in Washington, DC, last week - Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, while they were on patrol. He also talks about lawmakers and reporters finally waking up to the nature of deadly strikes against fishing vessels in the Caribbean, with news this weekend that during at least one raid, a second strike was ordered to kill off survivors of the initial attack. Plus, Trump discussing military and diplomatic options for handling Venezuela, who we have now decided is our new enemy because they have so much oil. Then, he welcomes back Professor Corey Brettschneider to discuss the legality of Pete Hegseth's Order to "kill them all" and the appeals court that disqualified Trump's former lawyer Alina Habba as US attorney for New Jersey. Then lastly, comedian Rhonda Hansome is back once again to chat with John and listeners about Trump's latest mishigas like calling people childish names "stupid" and "retard".See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the Mike Force Podcast, I break down the killing of 20-year-old National Guard soldier Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, who died on Thanksgiving after being ambushed in our nation's capital. While the country moved on, an Afghan national brought into the United States through the post-Kabul evacuation is charged with her murder. Almost no one is talking about who he was, how he got here, or what warnings were ignored.I get into what we know about the suspect's background, the failures in the vetting process under Operation Allies Welcome, and the difference between trusting someone on the battlefield and clearing them to live inside our borders. This is not about attacking our Afghan partners. It is about facing the reality that a rushed and incomplete system allowed people to enter the country even when clear red flags existed.Then we zoom out to Venezuela. From its role in global narcotics to its massive oil reserves and the geopolitical moves happening behind the curtain, we look at how resource interests, failed states, and political narratives influence what the media focuses on and what gets buried.This episode is about accountability. It is about demanding clarity from our government, honesty in national security decisions, and real conversations about why incidents like this disappear from the public eye while American service members pay the price.Support Carnivault - The best freeze dried meat for prep or dinner.

Are the foods in your trolley really Australian owned, and should you be worried about MSG or that 2-kilo overnight weight jump after a salty meal? In this episode of The Nutrition Couch, dietitians Leanne Ward and Susie Burrell unpack how to support Aussie-owned brands, the real story on MSG, and why salt can make the scales jump without you gaining body fat. In this episode, we cover: The Aussie-owned supermarket brands worth supporting Why there are so few 100% Australian-owned and operated food companies on our shelves The big-name Aussie brands Leanne and Susie actually buy, including cereals, dairy, oils, snacks and condiments How Australian ownership, local jobs and higher ingredient standards often translate to better nutritional quality Fun facts about Sanitarium’s not-for-profit structure and SPC as the last remaining Australian-owned fruit and veg processor Smaller state-based dairies and boutique brands to look out for in your local supermarket MSG: what the science says vs what social media says What MSG actually is, how it’s made, and why glutamate naturally occurs in foods like tomatoes, mushrooms and cheese How to spot MSG and other flavour enhancers on labels (621, 635 and friends) Why major health bodies consider MSG safe at normal intakes, and why “Chinese restaurant syndrome” hasn’t held up in blinded trials The real issue: ultra-processed, highly flavoured snacks that drive overeating, especially in kids Common supermarket foods that still contain flavour enhancers, and how to choose plainer, less “more-ish” options instead Product Spotlight: the Moroccan tomato dip Leanne and Susie love A deep dive on Tahini Miri Moroccan Matbucha, a chunky tomato-based dip with 87% tomatoes Why the ingredient list is so impressive compared to most dips in the fridge section How to use it: on veggie sticks, crackers, omelettes, eggs, sourdough or as a salsa-style base for quick meals Why cooked tomato products are a great way to boost lycopene and plant intake, especially during party season Salt, fluid retention and “overnight” weight gain The recommended daily sodium and salt limits for healthy adults, and how much Australians are actually having Why your weight can jump 1–2 kilos after a salty meal or takeaway, even if you’ve been eating well Who genuinely needs to watch salt more closely (e.g. high blood pressure, kidney or fluid issues) and who doesn’t need to stress over a pinch in home cooking Simple label-reading rules: what counts as low, moderate and high sodium per serve Practical ways to cut back on salt without eating bland food, using herbs, spices and smarter product choices How to keep party-season canapés, chips and takeaway in check without feeling deprived Plus How Leanne and Susie think about “supporting local” in a realistic, supermarket-based way Why choosing more minimally processed options automatically helps with both salt and additive intake Reassurance that balance matters more than perfection when it comes to salt, MSG and processed foods If your goal is to shop more consciously, support local brands, and stop panicking about every ingredient on the label, this episode will give you a clear, calm roadmap.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
