Welcome to another segment of the UnMind podcast and DharmaByte column. I would like to share a concern about something I have witnessed in the propagation of Zen. I am afraid that Zen in America is being categorized — in my opinion, erroneously -— as a "religion," during its second century in the West. As Zen assimilates into the volatile and increasingly violent American cultural milieu — primarily under the influence of Christian and Judaic traditions — Zen is widely, and wildly, misinterpreted as a faith or belief system. Buddhism is counted as one of the world's big four religions, we are told. But unlike Christianity, Islam or Hinduism, as well as Judaism, Buddhism is not a form of theism. I would not go so far as to categorize it as atheism — which is said to be the strongest form of theism — but that the question of the existence or nonexistence of God with a capital "G," or a pantheon of gods with lower "g's," simply does not arise. The traditional Zen saying would classify the term "god" as a "head upon a head" — a superfluous addition — on top of the reality that we all face in life. If god is what god is purported to be — i.e. omniscient and omnipresent — then there is no need to name that concept. More to the point, Zen is not based on a set of beliefs, or doctrine, but upon direct experience, whether yours or that of Buddha — who, after all, was not a Buddhist, any more than Christ was a Christian. Both were human beings, just like you. According to my poor understanding, in Buddhism, no independent, self-existent entity can be found anywhere in the universe. "Universe" is another word for naming the totality, but it is not conceived of as a conscious being, though the phrase "Vairocana Buddha" or "Cosmic Buddha," used to designate the concept, may suggest as much. An AI / Wikipedia summary says: Vairocana is the "Cosmic Buddha" or "Great Illuminator" in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism, representing the ultimate, formless truth (Dharmakaya) and the source from which all Buddhas emanate. Unlike historical figures, he is a universal Buddha, often depicted at the center of the Five Dhyani Buddhas, embodying wisdom and dispelling ignorance. The "he" pronoun here is a tell — that Buddhist cultures of origin were patriarchal if not misogynistic — and any spiritual beings were cast in the mold of humanity. A section in the ancient Ch'an poem, Hsinhsinming—Trust in Mind, refers to this idea of an essential truth from the perspective of personal experience, characteristic of Zen: If the mind makes no discriminationsthe ten thousand things are as they are of single essenceUnderstanding the mystery of this One-essencewe are released from all entanglementsWhen all things are seen equally the timeless Self-essence is reached Note that this underlying unity, or noumenon in today's vernacular, is a thread running through the "ten thousand things," or all phenomena, not just human consciousness. "Timeless Self-essence" may smack of the western concept of an eternal soul, but this assumption amounts to a kind of cultural appropriation, interpreting the 7th century Chinese view of "essence" as a self-existent entity, which is anathema to Buddhism. The historical Buddha, Shakyamuni, testified to the fact that he found no evidence of any such transmigrating soul, or the Sanskrit "atman," in his experience in meditation. He used an analogy to what was at that time a familiar object, a chariot — which, when disassembled and the parts laid out on the ground, no longer exists. The functional reality exists only in the assemblage. The contemporary term of art for what remained was sunyata, usually translated as "emptiness." But this term does not merely point to an absolute void, as it is often misinterpreted. Again, from our online gurus: Śūnyatā (Sanskrit) or Suññatā (Pali), commonly translated as "emptiness," "voidness," or "openness," is a foundational Buddhist philosophy referring to the lack of inherent, independent existence in all phenomena. It means all things—including the self—are empty of a separate, permanent ego, existing instead in a constant state of interdependence and change. I lean toward "openness," and note that "constant interdependence...and change" do not amount to a "state." There is nothing static about it. All things found in the universe are not things at all, but interconnected causes and conditions in constant flux — wave functions in science-speak. Likewise, aggregate reality: uni-verse, is not itself a "thing." The normal concept of "God" as a transcendent being does not stray far from this idea, except in depictions of Him or Her as human in form. As we are part of this universe, the idea that we can realize this unity with God or the cosmos permeates most religious belief systems. In Zen this proposition has the more prosaic connotation of being the truth, whether we know it or not. If God is anything, God is everything. The prospect of realization or awakening requires relinquishing our dualistic conceptions regarding this truth. Again, the great Chinese sage captures the dilemma in relatable terms: Denying the reality of things misses their realityAsserting the emptiness of things misses their realityThe more we talk and think about itthe further astray we wander from the truthStop talking and thinking and there is nothing you will not be able to know So while I maintain that Zen is not a religion in the conventional sense, what it is pointing to is the essential founding impulse of all religions, as well as philosophy: a realization of the truth of existence. Whether one interprets that realization as a religious experience or not does not change the fact of it. Again, Master Sengcan reminds us: Now there are sudden and gradualin which teachings and approaches ariseWith teachings and approaches distinguishedeach has its standardswhether teachings and approaches are mastered or notreality constantly flows "Sudden and gradual" here refers to the so-called Southern and Northern schools of Zen in China that preceded Sengcan by a couple of centuries. But they could just as well refer to today's various theistic religions with their multitude of denominations, or even to schools of philosophy, as well as theories and hypotheses of science. I italicize that last phrase, "reality constantly flows," as a simple truth, one that does not necessarily negate any of the various religious or philosophical worldviews, but amounts to a universal caveat: that whatever belief you may adhere to, it cannot possibly capture the totality of reality. Zen inquiry is said to take off from where philosophy leaves off, the latter having gotten there in a more roundabout manner. Whatever the starting point and mode of analysis, finally we are left with the "hard problem of consciousness," to co-op the phrase coined by the philosopher David Chalmers. Or as Master Dogen is said to have said, "At last we are left with ambiguity." One particular way of understanding various approaches to practice was taught by Kuei-feng Tsung-mi. Tsung-mi was a C'han master, and also the fifth Ancestor of the Hua Yen tradition in the Tang dynasty in China . He spoke of five different kinds of Zen, which are bompu zen or “usual zen,” gedo zen or ” Outside Way zen,” shojo zen or “Hinayana practice,” daijo zen or “Great Practice zen” and saijojo zen or “Easy and perfect” zen. In this sense, we could say that zen with a small “z” means simply a form of practising. Begin Here: Five Styles of Zenby Ven. Anzan Hoshin roshiZazen-ji, October 14, 1989[from the book, “Before Thinking”] Let us embrace this hard problem, and the inconclusiveness of its resolution, as we continue exploring the original frontier of Mind, and sharpening the razorblade of Zen. To make these postings a bit more interactive, please let me know if you have any subjects you might like me to address in future. My current focus is on the two underlying themes of my first and second published volumes, "The Original Frontier" and "The Razorblade of Zen," both available online. The former is a kind of user's manual for meditation, specifically of the Zen flavor, or zazen; the second is about where I see Zen fitting into the American cultural milieu as a third, alternative way, between the extremes of rationalism and science, leading to secular reductionism on one end of the spectrum, with those of theism and religion, or fundamentalism at the outer reaches on the other end. Zen lives in the middle. In these two books, both the personal and social spheres of practice-experience are engaged, separated for clarity of message. Implications for the natural sphere in the long term — if it is not already too late, in terms of climate change, for one example — I leave to you. Zen may offer our last and best hope for world peace, and saving our home planet. Implications for our understanding — or better, comprehending — the universe, and our place in it, I also leave to you. You are more likely to find your answers to the deeper questions on the cushion than off of it. But — no guarantees.

In this eye-opening episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, we sit down with Dr. Ann Tsung, NASA Flight Surgeon, triple-boarded ER/Critical Care/Aerospace physician, and founder of Productivity MD, to explore why most high performers don't lack success—they lack true freedom, authentic confidence, and genuine self-worth beneath the accomplishments.After years operating in high-stakes environments from emergency rooms to space missions, Dr. Tsung discovered that what looks like control and achievement is often a comfortable prison destroying confidence and self-esteem from the inside. Her breakthrough came during a 1.5-year sabbatical from NASA, where she developed the 5 Stages of Time Freedom℠—a proven framework to help leaders move from "Time Prisoner" (trapped by achievement) to "Time Transcender" (living with authentic confidence and freedom).You can find more from Ann here:⁠https://www.productivitymd.com/⁠

The pressure to optimize every minute of your calendar can often become a trap of its own, leading to a state of “fake time freedom” where you remain stressed despite having control over your schedule. In this episode of Productivity MD, Dr. Ann Tsung discusses the specific friction between being a “Time Creator” and ascending to a “Time Liberator”.Drawing from her personal journey of taking a NASA sabbatical to travel the world with her family, Dr. Tsung reveals how easy it is to stay stuck in a macro-level optimization loop even when your daily life looks successful. You will learn how to identify the five stages of time freedom, how to use a “Shutdown Sequence” to maintain a gain-state mindset, and why the most important decisions in your life require a “Hell Yes” or a “No”. This episode is a guide to stopping the “waffling” of indecision and moving toward the physical and mental vitality required to shape the future of your family and your legacy.Key Points From This Episode:The Five Stages of Time FreedomThe Trap of the “Time Creator”Micro vs. Macro FreedomFiltering by Energy, Not TimeThe Power of DecisionThe Shutdown SequenceMassive Transformative Purpose (MTP)Fighting for PresenceThe Boundless LifeTaking the Micro-StepResources:Search for Time and Energy Mission Control on SKOOLListen to the previous episodes hereWelcome to Productivity MD where you can learn to master your time and achieve the 5 freedoms in life!Show Notes - Stuck in Stage 3 Time Creator, Steps to Ascend to Stage 4 Time LiberatorPlease subscribe and leave a review so you can help others who need the knowledge most discover this podcast.

杨振宁逝世，享年103岁Yang Chen-Ning, a world-renowned physicist and Nobel laureate, passed away in Beijing on Saturday at 103.世界著名物理学家、诺贝尔奖得主杨振宁同志，于上周六在北京逝世，享年103岁。Yang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, professor at Tsinghua University, and the honorary president of the Institute for Advanced Study at Tsinghua, died after an illness, the university said in an obituary, calling the late professor "immortal".清华大学在讣告中表示，杨振宁同志系中国科学院院士、清华大学教授、清华大学高等研究院名誉院长，此次逝世为因病所致，并称赞这位已故教授“精神不朽”。Together with his colleague Tsung-dao Lee, Yang was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957 for their theory of parity non-conservation in weak interaction.1957年，杨振宁与同事李政道因提出“弱相互作用中宇称不守恒”理论，共同荣获诺贝尔物理学奖。He was often ranked alongside Albert Einstein as one of the 20th century's greatest physicists.杨振宁常被与阿尔伯特・爱因斯坦相提并论，被誉为20世纪最伟大的物理学家之一。Born in Hefei, Anhui province, in 1922, Yang moved with his family to Tsinghua in 1929. He enrolled at the National Southwestern Associated University in 1938 and later entered the graduate school of Tsinghua University in 1942, earning a master's degree in science in 1944. In 1945, he went to the United States for further studies as a Tsinghua University government-sponsored student, attending the University of Chicago, where he received his PhD in 1948 and remained for postdoctoral work.杨振宁1922年出生于安徽省合肥市，1929年随家人迁至清华园。1938年，他考入国立西南联合大学；1942年进入清华大学研究生院深造，1944年获理学硕士学位。1945年，作为清华大学公费留学生赴美国深造，就读于芝加哥大学，1948年获博士学位后留校从事博士后研究工作。He joined the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in 1949, becoming a permanent member in 1952 and a professor in 1955. In 1966, he was appointed as the Albert Einstein Professor of Physics at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, working there until 1999.1949年，杨振宁入职美国普林斯顿高等研究院，1952年成为该院终身成员，1955年任教授。1966年，他被任命为美国纽约州立大学石溪分校阿尔伯特・爱因斯坦物理学教授，在此任职至1999年。Since 1986, he had been a visiting professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. From 1997, he served as the honorary director of the newly established Center for Advanced Study — now the Institute for Advanced Study — at Tsinghua University and became a Tsinghua professor in 1999.自1986年起，杨振宁担任香港中文大学客座教授。1997年，他出任清华大学新成立的高等研究中心（现清华大学高等研究院）名誉主任，1999年正式受聘为清华大学教授。Yang, having made seminal contributions to modern physics, is recognized as one of the most eminent physicists of the 20th century. His work with Robert Mills on the "Yang-Mills theory" laid the foundation for the Standard Model of particle physics and is regarded as one of the cornerstones of modern physics, comparable in significance to Maxwell's equations and Einstein's theory of general relativity. 杨振宁为现代物理学发展作出开创性贡献，是国际公认的20世纪最杰出物理学家之一。他与罗伯特・米尔斯合作提出的“杨-米尔斯理论”，为粒子物理标准模型奠定了基础，被视为现代物理学的重要支柱之一，其学术意义可与麦克斯韦方程组、爱因斯坦广义相对论相媲美。In collaboration with Tsung-Dao Lee, he proposed the non-conservation of parity in weak interactions, a revolutionary idea for which they were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957, becoming the first Chinese Nobel laureate.在与李政道的合作中，杨振宁共同提出“弱相互作用中宇称不守恒”理论——这一颠覆性观点使两人共同荣获1957年诺贝尔物理学奖，他们也由此成为首位获此殊荣的华人科学家。Yang was a foreign member of more than ten academies of sciences worldwide and received honorary doctoral degrees from over twenty renowned universities.杨振宁是全球十余个科学院的外籍院士，曾获二十余所知名高校授予的荣誉博士学位。Yang maintained a deep affinity for his homeland and made outstanding contributions to China's scientific and educational development. His first visit to the People's Republic of China in 1971 helped initiate a wave of visits by overseas Chinese scholars, earning him recognition as a pioneer in building academic bridges between China and the United States.杨振宁始终怀有深厚的家国情怀，为中国科技与教育事业发展作出卓越贡献。1971年，他首次访问中华人民共和国，推动海外华人学者掀起回国访问热潮，被誉为中美学术交流的开拓者。He later proposed the restoration and strengthening of basic scientific research to China's central leadership and personally raised funds to establish a committee for educational exchange with China — sponsoring nearly a hundred Chinese scholars for further studies in the US. Many of those scholars later became key figures in China's scientific and technological advancement. Yang played a significant role in promoting domestic scientific exchange and progress, offering crucial advice on major national scientific projects and policies.此后，他向中国中央领导同志提出恢复和加强基础科学研究的建议，还亲自筹资成立对华教育交流委员会，资助近百名中国学者赴美深造。这些学者中，许多人后来成为中国科技领域的骨干力量。在推动国内科技交流与进步方面，杨振宁发挥重要作用，就国家重大科技项目与政策建言献策，提供关键指导。Upon his return to Tsinghua, he dedicated himself to the development of the Institute for Advanced Study, investing immense effort into the growth of basic disciplines like physics and the cultivation of talent at Tsinghua, significantly impacting the reform and development of China's higher education.回到清华大学工作后，杨振宁全身心投入高等研究院建设，为清华大学物理学等基础学科发展及人才培养倾注大量心血，对中国高等教育改革发展产生深远影响。The life of Professor Yang was that of an immortal legend — exploring the unknown with a timeless echo of a heart devoted to his nation, the obituary said.讣告指出，杨振宁教授的一生，是不朽的传奇——他以探索未知的执着、赤诚报国的初心，留下跨越时代的精神回响。Yang's century-long journey constitutes an eternal chapter shining among the stars of humanity, it said.讣告强调，杨振宁长达一个世纪的人生旅程，是人类星空中熠熠生辉的永恒篇章。laureate/ˈlɒriət/n.获奖者；荣誉获得者seminal/ˈsemɪnl/adj.开创性的；有重大影响的non-conservation/ˌnɒnˌkɒnsəˈveɪʃn/n.不守恒

Luca Stirpe"Senza ali per tornare"Orientalia Editricewww.orientalia-editrice.comTraduzione dal cinese a cura di Luca StirpeQuesto volume vuole essere una testimonianza e una riflessione sull'orrore della guerra attraverso i versi di Du Fu (712-770), uno dei più geniali poeti cinesi di tutti i tempi. Nei trentaquattro testi selezionati che coprono un arco di vent'anni, la maggior parte dei quali tradotti qui per la prima volta in lingua italiana, il poeta descrive la tragedia di un intero popolo, devastato dalla Rivolta di An Lushan che sconvolse la Cina dei Tang negli anni 755-763.Pur composte in un luogo e in un periodo determinati, in queste poesie spazio e tempo sembrano dissolversi: una guerra diventa ogni guerra, un tempo ogni tempo, un luogo ogni luogo in cui l'uomo venga privato della sua umanità.Il volume restituisce il ritratto di un poeta dalla profonda sensibilità sociale, che trovò nella poesia il mezzo più potente per esprimere il suo impegno civile e la sua critica politica.Un'opera imprescindibile per chiunque voglia comprendere la grandezza di Du Fu e la ricchezza della poesia cinese classica.Du FuPoeta cinese, nato a Tu-Ling nello Shensi il 712 d. C., morto a Lei-Yang nel Hu-Nan il 770. Fu poeta di corte dell'imperatore Süan-Tsung, ebbe varî uffici pubblici, ma conobbe anche la povertà e l'esilio; passò parte della sua vita, ritirato a vita privata, nella città di Ch'eng-Tu. È considerato, con Li-Tai-Pe, uno dei maggiori lirici cinesi, per quanto il carattere della sua poesia, dotta e meditativa, sia nell'intimo assai lontano dalla vivida limpidezza e ingenua gioia di vita della lirica di Li-Tai-Pe.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

This 5-episode limited series delves into policy debates within Taiwan that could have implications for the region and beyond. Each episode features Taiwanese local experts and voices weighing in on social, economic and defense issues as they discusses how Taiwanese society is responding to these challenges.From Ghost Island Media in Taipei and the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C, this is "Dispatch from Taiwan." Subscribe -Apple Podcasts: https://gimpod.me/usip-taiwan-appleSpotify: https://gimpod.me/usip-taiwan-spotifyAmazon: https://gimpod.me/usip-taiwan-amazonEpisode 1: Defense — Rising Awareness and PreparationTaiwan elects a new president on January 13, 2024. Peace across the Taiwan Strait is on people's minds, but where the candidates and their political parties differ is how to maintain it. All three presidential candidates have indicated they would continue Taiwan's current foreign policies, though they have different views of what shape relations with China and with the United States should take, as well as different priorities for Taiwan's defense preparedness. As China continues its military aggression in the region, many in Taiwan are thinking of how best to defend their home. In 2024, Taiwan will see a record-high national defense budget of 19.4 billion USD. Military conscription also was extended to one year. In his New Year's speech, Chinese leader Xi Jinping renewed the Chinese Communist Party's threats to take over Taiwan, which China considers its own but has never ruled. This episode includes expert views from Ying-Yu LIN from Tamkang University and CHIEH Chung from the National Policy Foundation, as well as the civilian voices of Robin HSU from the TaiwanADIZ club and Tsung-lin TSAI.Ghost Island Media: https://dispatchfromtaiwan.com/USIP: https://www.usip.org/dispatch-taiwanSupport the show: https://patreon.com/TaiwanSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After three years of strict pandemic controls, China suddenly reversed its zero covid policy last December, as omicron spread rapidly in the country. A top Chinese epidemiologist claimed that the current wave of the outbreak has gotten 80% of the population, which is 1.1 billion people, sick. But the true impact of this wave is still a mystery as the Chinese government continues to underreport covid cases and deaths. Meanwhile, dozens of countries have maintained restrictions on travelers from China. What does China's reopening mean for the rest of the world and its foreign relations? How do we compare mainland China's pandemic management to Taiwan's? Join host Zoe Leung, senior director of research at the Bush China Foundation and guest Tsung-Mei Cheng, health policy research analyst at Princeton University's School of Public and International Affairs to discuss these important issues.

Dharma talk by Eran Junryu Vardi Roshi of Eiryu-ji Zen Center in Wyckoff, NJ, USA on 7/24/22

(A couple of goofs in my delivery of this one this week - apologies!) R and 7 As were in partnership operating various diagnostic medical imaging businesses pursuant to a partnership agreement. R and 5 of the As were “full” partners each entitled to 1/7; 2 As were “half” partners entitled to 1/14 each: [3], [31] The As entered into an agreement with a purchaser to sell the partnership's assets, with R to receive $3m as part of the purchase: [4] Clause 32 of the Partnership Agreement dealt with the voting process granting a special majority power to approve on acquisition of the partnership assets by a purchaser (including that a partner who didn't vote on an acquisition was taken to vote against): [5], [43] An external offer was made to acquire the partnership's business. The As passed a resolution causing the partnership to accept it (R didn't vote and was taken to vote against: Cl 32) and the As agreed to work for the purchaser for a number of years with a non-compete: [7], [58] R was to receive $3m from the offer, with each of the other 1/7th As to receive ~$6.7m plus shares worth $2.4m: [8] R sued, claiming an entitlement to 1/7th of the net sale proceeds saying they had not varied their partnership interests, and the purchase payment was partnership property: [9], [33] The As resisted; arguing that the amounts to be paid were pursuant to resolution that had passed, and that the shares were consideration for the As continuing to work for the purchaser: [10] The As failed, and appealed. The CoA accepted that, in order for it to have any commercial utility, Cl 32 granted a special majority power to bind all partners to a transaction: [12] The question was then: did that clause have the power to bind all partners to the *distribution of funds* following that transaction? The CoA found it did not: [14] The persons bound by any Cl 32 resolution to go ahead with the transaction were “the partnership”, the firm itself rather than constituent partners. The partners' rights and obligations between themselves were undisturbed: [15] - [17], [24] The sale proceeds were partnership property to be allocated between the partners in proportion absent any other agreement between the partners: [19], [51] The character of these rights and obligations justified the Court's reluctance to find the partners varied them in Cl32: [25], [105] This left a remaining question: did the As' continuing service to the purchaser justify them receiving their additional consideration?: [27], [95] No, the CoA found. This was based on the consideration being described in the purchase documents as payment for “the transfer of assets and the assumption of… liabilities” I.e. the money was for partnership stuff and not, the Court found, for the employment and non-competes of the As: [28], [110] The appeal was dismissed with costs: [30], [112] ___ If you'd like to contact me my please look for James d'Apice or Coffee and a Case Note on your favourite social media spot - I should pop up right away!

Soon after the veterinarians at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium discovered a large tumor on the liver of Shaila, a 19-year-old gorilla, they contacted Allan Tsung, MD, director of surgical oncology and a specialist in liver, bile duct and pancreatic cancer. When he listened to their message, “I thought it was a practical joke from one of my friends,” Tsung said. It wasn't, and in this episode, Tsung describes the rather unusual and fascinating surgery he would perform on Shaila to remove a tumor on her liver the size of a softball – and what he learned from the experience. The liver of a gorilla is “almost identical [to a human liver] in terms of blood vessels and bile ducts and the size,” he said, adding the surgery was a team effort between his James surgical team and the skilled veterinarians at the zoo. “I was very nervous and the last thing I wanted was a bad outcome,” said Tsung, who added his strategy was to think of Shaila as “a human patient and, besides cutting through the skin, which is much thicker than human skin, everything was similar to a human patient.” He learned a trick veterinarians use to keep animals from picking at and pulling apart their sutures that involves bright nail polish - and was quite effective.

“I'm never satisfied with the status quo, I'm always looking to move the needle, how can we advance,” said Allan Tsung, MD, the James director of surgical oncology and a specialist in liver, bile duct and pancreatic cancer. Advances in surgical techniques have led to better outcomes for patients, and include minimally invasive surgical techniques, as well as a new method to directly infuse chemotherapy into liver-cancer tumors. In this episode, Tsung talks about what inspired him to specialize in this field and his determination to move the needle forward. His father, a physician and radiation oncologist, was diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer that spread to his liver, when Tsung was in middle school. “Back then there were not many treatments available, especially surgery for liver cancer, which was very high risk,” he said. “They couldn't remove his liver tumors … and he passed away.” Tsung has helped to lead the way to increase the options. Minimally invasive surgery utilizes smaller, less-invasive incisions which reduce the risk of complications and allows patients to spend less time in the hospital and begin radiation and chemotherapy treatments sooner. For some patients, the cancerous tumors are too invasive to safely remove surgically. For these patients, “we can now directly infuse chemotherapy into the liver, with minimal side effects,” Tsung said of the technique in which a hepatic artery infusion pump is placed near the liver of a patient. He described this pump as similar in size and shape to a hockey puck. Chemotherapy is infused into the pump, and then directly into the liver on a continuous basis.

Ann Tsung, MD, MPH, an immigrant from Taiwan, is a physician who is triple board-certified in emergency, critical care, and preventive/aerospace medicine. She currently works full-time for NASA as the operational flight surgeon to care for astronauts, and work on missions to the International Space Station.

A young family converses, and the son goes to check on the crying baby. The husband tells his wife he loves her and he goes to fetch more water. As he gets water, we see the dragon scar. In the house, that's strangely cold, the outside protectors are attacked, and the mother and son hide the baby. The attackers are speaking Chinese. A man in blue robes enters and asks where Hanzo is in Chinese and Japanese. He's shown growing ice out of his hand when they wont tell where Hanzo is. Hanzo hears screaming and runs back and finds his murdered guards, and spots his wife and son, bloody and frozen on the ground. Attackers come and hey are VIOLENTLY dispatched. He ties a rope through a blade and quickly kills more attackers. He finds the man in blue, Bi-Han, says he's killed all of Hanzos country-men. They Fight, and Bi-Han gets the upper-hand, stabbing him with his own spear, and leaves him. Though, Hanzo isn't quite dead yet, and he hears the hidden baby crying, he tried to drag himself back to the house, but dies before reaching the house. The dragon emblem then vanishes off his hand, and he disappears into flames. it begins to rain, and Raiden appears from lightning. He picks up the spear, and takes the baby, and disappears. Screen cuts to black. S:-Wife using the scorpion spike thing.-Hanzo getting stabbed and pulled up 6" would've gutted him.-Right off the bat, you know this is going to be MUCH different than the first film; so much character building and back ground on the initial two, or three with Raiden, characters. The violence and gore, too. The screen reads: "Earthrealm is on the verge of catastrophe, Should it lose one more tournament, the savage realm of outworld will invade. But and ancient prophecy foretells that a new group of champions will be united by the rise of Hanzo Hasashi's blood." Cole Younger, is getting ready for a fight. As he's fighting, we're shown a man watching him from the crowd. Cole taps out of the fight. We're taking to Outworld, a barren looking place. Subzero and Shang Tsung talk and they explain their plan to kill all of earths heros before the Mortal Kombat tournament. As Cole is cleaning up, he sees a flash of Hanzo in flames. Jax introduces himself to Cole; he asks about the dragon on his chest, who the girl says was a birthmark. Jax follows him, and it begins to snow, and they say it's July... Then the ice really starts to creep in. Subzero appears and begins to attack the street, and Cole, lifting and throwing huge balls of ice, Jax saves them and explains what the dragon mark is, and he must fight. Subzero stops them going down an alley, and Jax tells him to find Sonya Blade, and he goes after subzero in a building. Subzero surprises him, and they fight. It goes back and forth, but subzero gains the upper hand, then freezes Jaxs arms, and breaks them off. He falls down a shaft and isn't moving. Cole tells his wife he's got to go find Sonya to keep them safe. S:-Immediately off the bat, you know who Cole is, the yellow and black, just like Hanzo shown in the scene before him.-The girl braiding the yellow and black bracelet.-Is the girl his daughter or just a gf's daughter?-When Jax and Cole meet, he mentions Cole took a belt from Eddie Tobias, who is the creator of MK-Apparently there is canon how Jax loses his arms, but this changes it. Also, originally, Subzero was somewhat of a good guy. Back in outworld, Mileena meets with Shang Tsung, telling him Jax is dead and someone got away. Tsung, tells her to kill them all, and that winning 9 straight without cheating is impossible, to send the reptile to finish it. As the camera pulls back, we see a large statue of a four armed creature. Cole arrives and is ambushed by Sonya. She lets him in and we learn about the history of the dragon markings. Lots of exposition, world building, and that his mark means he has to fight in Mortal Kombat. Cole looks at the boards, and sees a drawing of Hanzo, and has another flash. Kano interrupts and we're introduced to him, who makes fun of Sonya for not having a mark. Suddenly the lights go out and the trio are attacked by the camouflaged reptile. The three alternate attacks, and Kano escapes his handcuffs and uses a knife that was thrown into his leg by Sonya, and stabs a flare to its back, so they can see it. Reptile grabs Kano, and while distracted, Sonya throws a knife into it's chest, it drops Kano, who pulls out the knife, punches the wound and pulls out the creatures heart, stating, "Kano wins." S:-Why do their voices sound different in outworld? There's a weird echo?-Kano is actually hilarious-Reptile looks awesome, thank God.-If Reptiles saliva is acidic, strange it's blood isn't.-too bad they killed Reptile off so fast. Kano, for some reason, has stayed with Cole and Sonya. As they're trying to put together where to go, Kano discloses he knows where Raidens temple by running guns. Sonya and Kano go back and forth, and agree that Kano will take them for $3M. Which turns out was a ruse by Sonya. On the plane, Cole has another vision/dream. They parachute into someplace that looks like outworld... and Kano is lost. He and Sonya have words and a quick fight, with Kano goading her to kill him and take the mark. They finally find someone walking in the desert, when Kano approaches, he's shot back with a fireball produced by who we learn is Liu Kang. Kano is hyped to learn he may get super powers. Liu Kang leads them to Raidens temple. He explains the back ground of the temple, and that they must begin their training. They enter the temple and se see wall drawings of other tournaments, and other characters. Cole comes across a drawing of the intro fight, Bi-Han and Hanzo, and recognizes the spear from a vision. Liu Kang says again they must train to find their inner power. Sonya wonders off and she finds Jax, alive. Liu Kang found him, and they are trying to heal him. Liu introduces them to Raiden, and he is not impressed. S:-Love the foreshadowing and Kano mumbling "I fucking hate garden gnomes."-I like how they replaced Kanos metal face/eye with the scar.. more "realistic"-I don't think Kano wants the marking... I'd almost say he's scared.-This temple is thousands of years old, yet, they've got some glass conductor right in the middle of it? Weird.-Raiden was kind of a dick Liu Kang, meditating, hears something in the temple and Subzero is shown opening the temple door; Liu Kang attacks, and subzero returns blows, as he grabs him, a hat comes flying in, knocks him back, and lands. A man then materializes below it who Liu identifies as his cousin. Tsung walks in with Mileena, and confronts Raiden, stating conflict outside of mortal kombat isn't excluded and the elder gods are too lazy to do anything, he then orders his followers to kill them. Raiden slams his staff down, and brings a protective barrier down around them. Kung Lao is introduced, and we're told the power comes from their arcana, a gift from the dragon symbol, and that to defeat the other fighters, they'll have to unlock their arcana through fighting. Sonya can't fight since she doesn't have a mark. Dejected, she sits with Jax who comes to, and sees hes got new metal arms. Cole and Kano fight Kung Lao and Liu Kang, and are defeated, with out finding their arcana. Liu tells Cole how he got his arcana, by killing a man who sold orphans like himself. Cole fights and loses again, Jax is angry/upset with his new arms. Sonya recounts her first day of training with Jax to keep going or regret it for the rest of your life. Eating dinner, Kano keeps picking at people, and Kung Lao and Liu Kang antagonize him. Calling him an aggressive bunny. During an explosive outburst, Kano shoots a laser out of his eye... the first to harness his arcana. Cole is literally just getting beat, not fighting back, to focus on the pain, with no luck. Raiden tells Cole his linage, a descendant of Hanzo, that when he died, he went to the neatherealm in hell to search for revenge. Raiden sends Cole back to his family, saying the blood still isn't as strong. S:-The barrier and the whole training bit is a bit trope-y...-"All you can do now is test your might"-I like the 80's feeling synth/techno fight music... But Kung Laos stances with his hat are kinda dumb-This whole section kinda drags.-Decent looking lightning Back in outword, Shang Tsung introduces Nitara, Kabal and Gen Reiko. Kabal says he knows Kano, and can get them by the barrier. We're shown Goros shadow. Kabal convinces Kano to betray everyone. Cole hears something in a barn...back to Kano destroying Raidens staff and the barrier. Shang tsung enters with his fighters and Kano switches sides... Cole watches Goro emerge from the barn. They all start to fight, and the earthrelm fighters aren't doing too well. Sonya is stabbed, and Kano drops stone hand on her. Kabal and Liu Kang fight, meanwhile Kung Lau waits for Nitara... When she flies in and attacks, he jumps on her, rides her around, puts his razor tipped hat in the sand spinning, and puts her through head first, cutting her in half... Finishing with a "flawless victory." Back to Cole, Goro is about to tear Cole in half, when Allison attacks with an axe, they get in a truck and try to run him down, Goro pulls Allison out, watching Coles bracelet comes alive and wraps his body in an armor. Goro hits him with a door, which leaves his chest glowing, otherwise unhurt. As they fight, Goro pounds on him, causing his armor to glow, Emily yells, "dad, use your uppercut!" and the glowing energy transfers to his fist, hitting Goro and knocking him back, surprised. Goro jumps and does an attack that leaves much of Coles chest glowing, that then transfers to his arms, and two stylized tonfas appear. They continue to fight, and Cole gains the upper hand, by literally taking one of Goros, disemboweling him, and shoving a tonfa through his eye. Goro falls dead. Cole checks on his family, and Emily tells him, "Bad ass suit, dad." S:-Kabal is hilarious too.-While goro is obviously computer generated, still better than the 95 version-In the barn, the pole that Cole breaks, you can clearly see where its supposed to break.-According to Lewis Tan, who plays Cole, "They were described to me by [director Simon McQuoid] as a protection over the heritage that runs through the bloodline of Cole Young. In the beginning of the movie, if you look carefully at the basket that his great-great-great grandmother was placed in, you can see though the same webbing/cross-hatching that's on [Cole's] suit is the same thing that was on that basket. It's the same design. [It's] not only the design that saved this baby, but it's a design that saved his bloodline, and it's a design that's physically protecting his body." Back at Raidens temple, Jax wakes up to find Sonya under the rock, he asks for help, and as he tries to lift her, his arms start to transform. We then see his new, bigger arcana arms. Raiden arrives, and sends a doorway for Cole. Raiden reveals he planned for Cole to leave and find his arcana, and reveals Coles bloodline to subzero. As Raiden is about to leave with everyone, tsung tells subzero to stop him, and he blasts Cole from the teleport beam. As Subzero moves in to attack, Kung Lau stops him, while distracted, Shang Tsung pulls him to him and sucks his soul, killing him. Raiden takes the fighters into the void, he tells Cole about the spear with Hanzos blade. Cole comes up with a plan to split up the fighters, but to do it their way. Raiden sends Jax with Reiko, Sonya against Kano, though she wants the "bitch with the teeth." Liu Kang and Cole take Meelna and Kabal. Saving Subzero for last, to take out together. We switch back and forth, Liu and Kabal, Cole and Meelna, Reiko and Jax, who breaks Reikos hammer, beats him down to his knees, and then crushes his head, saying, "yea, these mother fuckers work." Kano is being sneak attacked by Sonya, they fight and Sonya disables his laser by throwing acetate in his eye, they bust through the window back outside on the ground, Kano is choking her, and she searches for something... She grabs the gnome from earlier and stabbs Kano thorugh the eye, and gains his dragon on her arm. Liu does a bicycle kick to Kabal, the preforms a fire-dragon fatality, for Kung Lau. Mileena screams and her cheeks split showing her huge mouth, biting Coles tonfa, Sonya then appears and blasts a hole through Meelna, killing her. Cutting back to Coles family, they're packing up to leave, and Subzero appears. The then appears to Cole, and shows the bracelet she made early on, freezes it, and crushes it. As he steps back through the teleporting smoke, Cole follows and arrives in a frozen gym from the beginning of the movie. S:-Cool, if silly fatalities-Most of the places the final battles occur in are stages from the game, the pit for sure, probably not Sonyas trailer though.-pretty impressive how quickly Sonya accesses her arcana. Cole sees his family, but Subzero attacks, wanting to end the Hanzo bloodline. They fight and subzero is getting the upper hand, telling him he'll die with his family, he grabs the spear and tries to stab subzero, but is reversed, and when the blade cuts into Coles hand, it starts to glow red with fire. Subzero recognizes it as the blade of Hanzo, and as he's about to stab Cole with is, a flaming spear pierces his arm, behind him, Hanzo, or Scorpion, appears and says his trademark, "Get over here", yanking him away from Cole. Hanzo tells Subzero he's risen from hell to kill him. He removes his mask, asking if he remembers the face, and that he is now Scorpion. Cole starts trying to get his family out, and Scorpion and Subzero fight. When Scorpion sees Coles family, he's taken aback, reminded of his family. Cole and Scorpion both faceoff against subzero. He freezes Scorpion, and starts losing armor. Scorpion breaks free with a firy blast, and Coles family wake up. Subzero removes his helmet, and says, "for the Lin Kuei." They fight and it's obvious Subzero is defeated, Scorpion tells Cole to leave him, Cole gets his family as Scorpion tells Subzero, "You hoped I would burn in the fires of hell... but instead, I learned to control them." He sends a fiery blast at Subzero, killing him. He tells Cole he's freed him, and to take care of his bloodline...and vanishes in fire. Raiden and the others appear, Raiden sees the body of Subzero and is impressed. Shang Tsung appears and they confront each other. tsung says death is only another portal, and the bodies of Subzero and Goro disappear. He threatens to return with armies, and Raiden sends him away, saying, "He talks too much. Raiden says hes going to assemble a new list of champions and Cole asks whos first. Cole is showing cleaning out his locker, and says hes going to Hollywood, as the camera pans we see a headless poster for a Johnny Cage movie, Citizen Cage: Fight For Your Rights, cut to end credits and the the remixed Mortal Kombat theme. S:-thought the fighting was solid..-Hated we had to wait SO LONG to see scorpion, but worth the wait.-Interesting twist making subzero bad an scorpion good.-I do wonder how many more movies like this Sanada can/could do, he's 61. Webpage: https://theguysreview.simplecast.com/EM: theguysreviewpod@gmail.comIG: @TheGuysReviewPodTwitter: @The_GuysReviewFB: https://facebook.com/TheGuysReviewPod/
