Good morning from Pharma and Biotech daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma and Biotech world.Pharma stocks had a turbulent day after Trump's tariff pause, with some stocks making a late-day recovery. However, there are concerns about potential FDA budget cuts that could severely impact drug access in the US. Biotech leaders are calling on Senator Cassidy to take action in response to these cuts, which have already caused delays and uncertainty in the regulatory process. Experts are warning that jeopardizing the FDA user fees program could have dire consequences.In other news, nonprofit organizations are playing a key role in driving innovation in healthcare. Tempest is currently seeking funding for a late-stage liver cancer asset, while Amgen's Uplizna has shown promising results in treating myasthenia gravis.Upcoming events include webinars on AI and regulation in drug development, as well as strategies for navigating the biotech downturn. On a less positive note, several biopharma companies have announced layoffs, including Vincerx and Reckitt Benckiser.Overall, the industry is facing challenges but also opportunities for growth and advancement.

The current episode of Furniture Industry News delves into the profound ramifications of newly instituted tariffs on imports from China, elucidating their pervasive impact on the furniture industry. The discourse is anchored by an exclusive industry survey, which reveals that a significant majority—over 70% of participants—anticipate enduring repercussions that will extend beyond a mere year, with nearly 40% foreseeing these effects as substantially detrimental. Case goods, particularly items such as bedroom and dining room furniture, emerge as the most severely affected category, underscoring a pivotal shift in the market landscape. The narrative further explores the dual nature of these tariffs, wherein some manufacturers, especially those based domestically, are experiencing unprecedented demand, as evidenced by Vision Contract Manufacturing in High Point, NC, which has reported a remarkable 25% increase in demand. This surge is attributed to a growing preference for quicker, geographically proximate manufacturing solutions as retailers and consumers alike seek to mitigate the lengthy delays associated with overseas production. Consequently, this episode not only highlights the immediate challenges posed by tariffs but also posits a transformative opportunity for American manufacturers to enhance their market positioning.Takeaways: The recent tariffs imposed on Chinese imports are expected to have a protracted impact on the furniture industry, with over 70% of surveyed professionals anticipating significant long-term effects. Domestic manufacturers, such as Vision Contract Manufacturing, are witnessing unprecedented demand as companies pivot away from overseas sourcing due to the complications arising from tariffs. Consumer preferences are evidently shifting towards furniture that embodies durability and multifunctionality, indicating a growing aversion to disposable and short-lived products. Suppliers in the case goods segment are experiencing heightened pressure to innovate and specialize, with many opting to hone in on niche markets to navigate a challenging economic landscape. The introduction of new product lines, such as Flexteel's Statements Case Goods collection, signifies a response to evolving consumer expectations for quality and design within the furniture market. Overall, the furniture industry is undergoing a transformation driven by tariffs, consumer demands for sustainability, and the necessity for manufacturers to adapt their business strategies effectively.

In "Echoes of Misery: Navigating Nigeria's Turbulent Waters," we dissect the labyrinth of challenges plaguing Nigeria, from budget padding scandals to a distressing upsurge in violence. The episode weaves through the narratives of personal loss, shining a light on the grim reality of death's frequency and the societal neglect towards planning for the inevitable. It critiques the extravagant and often performative nature of funerals, juxtaposed with the tone-deafness of political leadership, exemplified by controversial actions and statements from high-ranking officials. This discussion extends into the grandiosity of Nigerian politicians, the endemic poverty of leadership, and the state's seeming incapacity to curb violence and kidnappings, especially in educational institutions. By delving into the media portrayal of Nigeria and the systemic roots of the nation's woes, the episode calls for a structural overhaul and a reevaluation of leadership selection by the populace.

Dr. Eve Maram is a clinical and forensic psychologist and a certified Jungian Analyst in private practice in Orange, California. She joins us to share her perspective on schizophrenia, of it as a condition wherein the organizing function of the ego is overwhelmed by the turbulence waters of the unconscious (a statement that will be well flushed out in the interview); but we also go deep into her model of the schizophrenia complex, which is the bundle of “thoughts and feelings constellated by encounters with what we call schizophrenia, for those who experience symptoms, and for those others impacted by them” (another statement that will be fully flushed out throughout the interview).  Throughout this interview we also explore what a complex is; the role schizophrenia played in the development of Jung's theories; the vital important of relationship for those with schizophrenia; how schizophrenia attacks relatedness; the various ways the schizophrenia complex arises within us and why; pharmaceutical vs non-pharmaceutical treatments of schizophrenia; the changing cultural tides around how medicine perceives schizophrenia; and practical advice for relating with those who have schizophrenia and their symptoms, advice for practitioners, loved-ones, and even for people with the condition themselves.  Enjoy.

Body image issues. Wrecked sleep. Struggling with slowing down. Midlife and menopause can send us into some seriously turbulent waters. This week's guest, Lisa Alfano, manages to keep from going under by riding the waves–literally. Lisa is a surfer and triathlete who has married her passions in her business Tri2Surf, a community for women ages 50+ who want to reset or discover their active selves and claim their power and passion. Lisa has battled body image issues her whole life. Menopause and midlife magnified them, and also ushered in poor sleep, anxiety, hot flashes, and a host of symptoms that were pulling her under and threatening to upend her sense of self. At age 50, she found salvation in triathlon, which gave her a sense of community and turned her life around. At age 57, she gave herself another midlife boost by taking up surfing, which she says brings her “joy and peace no matter what is happening.” We talk all about surfing, triathlon, and finding passion in menopause and beyond.

Staying Afloat in Turbulent Waters

This episode of Breaking Brave is so special, we are re-airing it in case you missed it. Dr. Edmund Metatawabin is a First Nations Chief and Elder, Cree writer, Author, educator, and activist. Edmund was awarded the Order of Canada for his advocacy on behalf of residential-school survivors. He is a survivor of St. Anne's Residential School, in Fort Albany, Ontario where he and his fellow students experienced physical, psychological, and sexual abuse at the hands of school administrators. He documented his experiences in his 2014 book, Up Ghost River: A Chief's Journey Through the Turbulent Waters of Native History available here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/227773/up-ghost-river-by-edmund-metatawabin--with-alexandra-shimo/ (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/227773/up-ghost-river-by-edmund-metatawabin--with-alexandra-shimo/)  In 1992, Edmund organized a conference for other survivors of St. Anne's Residential School so that they could share their stories. He took their accounts to the police, spurring a criminal investigation that culminated in the convictions of five former staff. Edmund has devoted himself to righting the wrongs of the past, and educating First Nations youth on traditional knowledge. Edmund was the first born of eleven siblings. His father lived on the land, and was a natural resource harvester. Edmund was working on his Master's Degree in Environmental Studies at York University when he was called home to run for Chief. For eight years, he held that position; concentrating on economic development and education. He has adopted the motto “For Those That Are Not Yet Born” in his research and writing to honour the First Nation heritage on Turtle Island. His 2014 memoir Up Ghost River: A Chief's Journey Through the Turbulent Waters of Native History was a shortlisted nominee for the Governor General's Award for English-language non-fiction at the 2014 Governor General's Awards. His publications also include: Hanaway (2004) and Harvesting: Cree Hunting and Gathering Techniques (2008). In 2010, he was part of the Our Story Advisory Committee for the Canadian Aboriginal Writing Challenge, run by the Historica-Dominion Institute.  Toward the end of the episode, you'll hear directly from Edmund's nephew, Terry Metatawabin, Edmund's grandson, Braiden Metatawabin, and his partner Daanis McDonald. You'll also hear a song performed by Edmund's son Shannin Metatawabin. You can watch his performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOQoy0vsA0s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOQoy0vsA0s)  If you're listening to this episode somewhere that you find yourself able, try to stand when the song begins for its duration.  We'd like to offer our most heartfelt, deepest thanks to Edmund Metatawabin and his family for their unmatched bravery, generosity, and openness in trusting us enough to share their stories, experiences, wisdom and deeply profound insight on Breaking Brave. We understand the gravity of this trust and appreciate it beyond what words can describe. Our hope for this episode is an echo of Edmund's hope: That you listen and share the truth with the people in your life. That you pass on what you learn to your children, your family, and your community so that all future generations can know and understand the truth and history of Canada's enduring, genocidal, and horrific treatment of our First Nations people.

April was recently a part of the mokuhanga exhibition at the Kentler International Drawing Space, in Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York. This show was curated by the Mokuhanga Sisters collective and is called Between Worlds from, June 17 - July 31st, 2022. Rochester, New York - is a city located in Upstate New York. It was originally inhabited by the Seneca peoples. Shaped by the Genesee River, Rochester was once a flour making city as well as a city famous for its horticulture. More information can be found, here. Hunter College - Is a public college located in Manhattan, New York, and was founded in 1870 as a college for women. More info, here.  abstract art - is an art type which moved away from a 19th Century artistic idea of perspective.  Abstract art was a rebellion of colour, shape, and experience, for both the viewer and the maker. It corresponds to the modernism of the industrial world, with science, technology, and architecture. More info can be found, here.  colour field - is a term in painting associated with the abstract painters of the 1950's and 1960's using large swaths of flat colour. Mark Rothko (1903-1970) is one such painter associated with colour field. More info, here.  Vincent Longo (1923-2017) -  was a painter, printmaker and teacher based in New York City. He was a part of the New York School of artist's of the 1950's and 1960's. His work was based in geometry. You can find more information about Vinnie, here. 4 Blocks (1985) Bill Paden (1930-2004) - was a woodblock printmaker and artist who studied under the American expat Clifton Karhu (1927-2007) in Kyoto. More info, here. Beppu Beach Water Bay Mountain (ca. 1970's) hanmoto system - is the Edo Period (1603-1868) collaboration system of making woodblock prints in Japan. The system was about using, carvers, printers, and craftsmen, by various print publishers in order to produce woodblock prints. The system consisted of the following professions; publisher, artist, carver, and printer. Tetsuya Noda (b 1940) - is a contemporary print artist, photographer and professor emeritus at Tokyo University of the Arts (Tōkyō Geidai).  His process uses photographs through a mimeograph machine, then woodblock and silk screen. Considered one of Japan's most famous living artists, Noda's work is a wonderful representation of what can be done with the print medium. More info, with video, can be found, here.  The LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies - is a not for profit centre at the Columbia University School of the Arts, which provides an atmosphere of print education for students and invited guests.  Tōkyō v Kyōto (Ōsaka) school of mokuhanga - Tōkyō and Kyōto have, historically, been culturally different throughout Japanese history. Even today, especially with foreign expats, which side of the border you pledge allegiance to can make or break a pleasant conversation. Regarding woodblock printing, it was the moving of the capital to Edo from Kyōto by Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616), officially in 1603, which centred the world for an entire nation. Edo became the business, and cultural district in which most people found themselves. The sankin kōtai system, where daimyō from the entire country, were obligated to spend alternating years in the capital, allowed the merchant classes to grow prosperous, spending their time and money on entertainments such as ukiyo-e, kabuki, and sumo.  This didn't mean that Kyōto and Ōsaka didn't have ukiyo-e, it simply meant that it was overshadowed by Edo. This is because many publishers and artists lived and worked in Edo's environs. Kabuki from Edo and kabuki from Kyōto thrived, therefore there were many prints published for the plays performed in both cities. Stylistically the prints are different, with Ōsaka ukiyo-e being called Kamigata-e, the region where Ōsaka, and Kyōto are situated. For instance, the work of Ōsaka artist, and painter Shunkōsai Hokushū (active 1802-1832) is famous in Ōsaka for his kabuki prints, but is relatively unknown today, as compared to Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) who lived and worked around the same time in Edo. Comparing the two is perhaps comparing Brad Pitt (b. 1963), with Steve Buscemi (b. 1957), but I feel that it shows what both artists, successful in their fields, can accomplish for the genre. More information on Ōsaka ukiyo-e, can be found, here.  Keiko Kadota (1942-2017) - was the director of Nagasawa Art Park at Awaji City from 1997-2011, and then of MI Lab at Lake Kawaguchi from 2011 until her passing.

In this episode, Bob and Shawn discuss the financial sharks that we all have to watch out for during turbulent times and how they like to disguise themselves. For example, if you hear about a great investment opportunity that sounds “too good to be true”, then it is most likely just that – too good to be true. Have you ever seen one of those big postcard invitations in the mail for once-in-a-lifetime opportunities featuring a big juicy steak on the front? Have you ever received an email from a professional doomsayer about how the country is ending but miraculously happens to have the product to protect you from the disaster they just made up? Most of these are meant to prey on our emotions in order to sell products to benefit the seller and not to benefit you. 1 Peter 5:8 gives this warning: “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” The next time you receive a free offering for a steak at a high-end restaurant, be aware of the financial shark that may be behind this so-called “opportunity”.

We want to thank everyone who attended our October Empower Women event, Teaching Our Teens to Swim in Turbulent Waters: so we Don't Have to be Their Life Preserver, with Pamela Willsey. The pandemic has been extremely difficult for everyone, but we often forget about the impact it has had on our teens. Dealing with such stressful conditions during some of the most important years of your life can leave a lasting impression. Pamela discussed the importance of connecting with your teens and how you can teach them the tools to help guide them through turbulent waters and learn to be confident and independent. Pamela Willsey is the founder of Willsey Connections (WC). She practices as a therapist and life coach for teenaged girls as they become young adult women. Her approach centers around the deeply held belief that success in life requires us to understand ourselves and others. She emphasizes the need to learn the skills necessary to manage our feelings and relationships. WC helps teenage girls develop the tools they need to meet the challenges they will face as they transition from adolescence to independent, self-assured confident women.   We hope you enjoy this podcast episode   General Disclaimer: Lexington Wealth Management is a group of investment professionals registered with HighTower Securities, LLC, member FINRA and SIPC, and with HighTower Advisors, LLC, a registered investment advisor with the SEC.

Dr. Edmund Metatawabin is a Chief, First Nations Elder, Cree writer, Author, educator, and activist. Edmund was awarded the Order of Canada for his advocacy on behalf of residential-school survivors. He is a survivor of St. Anne's Residential School, in Fort Albany, Ontario where he and his fellow students experienced physical, psychological, and sexual abuse at the hands of school administrators. He documented his experiences in his 2014 book, Up Ghost River: A Chief's Journey Through the Turbulent Waters of Native History available here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/227773/up-ghost-river-by-edmund-metatawabin--with-alexandra-shimo/ (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/227773/up-ghost-river-by-edmund-metatawabin--with-alexandra-shimo/)  In 1992, Edmund organized a conference for other survivors of St. Anne's Residential School so that they could share their stories. He took their accounts to the police, spurring a criminal investigation that culminated in the convictions of five former staff. Edmund has devoted himself to righting the wrongs of the past, and educating First Nations youth on traditional knowledge. Edmund was the first born of eleven siblings. His father lived on the land, a natural resource harvester. Edmund was working on his Master's Degree in Environmental Studies at York University when he was called home to run for Chief. For eight years, he held that position concentrating on economic development and education. He has adopted the motto “For Those That Are Not Yet Born” in his research and writing to honour the First Nation heritage on Turtle Island. His 2014 memoir Up Ghost River: A Chief's Journey Through the Turbulent Waters of Native History was a shortlisted nominee for the Governor General's Award for English-language non-fiction at the 2014 Governor General's Awards. His publications also include: Hanaway (2004) and Harvesting: Cree Hunting and Gathering Techniques (2008). In 2010, he was part of the Our Story Advisory Committee for the Canadian Aboriginal Writing Challenge, run by the Historica-Dominion Institute.  Toward the end of the episode, you'll hear directly from Edmund's nephew, Terry Metatawabin, Edmund's grandson, Braiden Metatawabin, and his partner Daanis McDonald. You'll also hear a song performed by Edmund's son Shannin Metatawabin. You can watch his performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOQoy0vsA0s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOQoy0vsA0s)  We ask that if you are listening to this episode somewhere that you  find yourself able to, please stand when the song begins for its duration.  We'd like to offer our most heartfelt, deepest thanks to Edmund Metatawabin and his family for their incredible bravery, generosity, and openness in trusting us enough to share their stories, experiences, wisdom and deeply profound insight on Breaking Brave. We understand the gravity of this trust and appreciate it beyond what words can describe. Our hope for this episode is an echo of Edmund's hope: That you listen and share the truth with the people in your life. That you pass on what you learn to your children, your family, and your community so that all future generations can know and understand the truth and history of Canada's enduring, genocidal, and horrific treatment of our First Nations people.

Here's a hint: Don't rely on yourself.

We dig into the good, the bad, and the ugly. Social media can be the bane of any parent's existence, and for a good reason, but what happens when social media is good? Parents tend only to see the adverse effects, but sometimes the good outweighs the bad.   We discuss timeframes for what ages are suitable for your kids to get social media accounts. We also cover what might be more critical and rarely discussed - when do we "allow" our parents to get a social media account? Jokes aside, navigating the turbulent waters of social media can be difficult, but you are ultimately the decision-maker.   

In early 2020, as COVID was sweeping the world, Filippa Buttitta (pictured right) was facing her own personal crisis. She had been working on her entry for the Archibald prize when she had trouble with her eyesight and was finding it difficult painting the fine details of her work. Thinking she needed an eye test, she visited her optometrist which led to a swift hospital admission and the shocking diagnosis of an aggressive brain tumour. In the past year she’s had to make decisions which go to the heart of one's purpose in life and which also highlight the importance of creativity.  This episode is about those choices but it’s also about Filippa's life as a skilled artist.  She's been painting for over 30 years, and has been a regular finalist in many art prizes including the Archibald (with a stunning portrait of the late Judy Cassab) as well as the Black Swan and Portia Geach and last year she was noted as one of the artists who had been selected the most times in Australian art prizes in that year.  Her entry into the Archibald this year is a fascinating portrait of her surgeon Professor Charlie Teo who has provided not only medical care prolonging her life but compassion and empathy along the way.   You’ll also be hearing from her close friend, artist Louisa Chircop (pictured above left), who joins us in this conversation. Louisa is a previous podcast guest and has been a rock for Filippa throughout this time. She is also entering the Archibald with a portrait of Filippa.  She was one of seven artists who requested Filippa to paint her portrait this year and even though many portrait sitters have in the past agreed to having their portrait painted by more than one artist for the Archibald, Filippa has only said yes to Louisa. We recorded this episode in Filippa’s studio in Sydney which also operates as a private gallery where she has exhibited her own work and that of fellow artists. From time to time you might also hear Filippas’ beautiful budgerigar, Sky. To hear the podcast conversation click 'play' beneath the above feature photo. A video of Filippa in her studio will be uploaded to this website in a few weeks.

Episode #4. Turbulent Waters and challenging times for live music and the entertainment industry.

Our biggest geopolitical threat today is not Russia as the media would have you believe; it is China. Joining us is Captain James Fanell (www.gcsp.ch), Retired U.S. Naval Intelligence Director, who draws on his experience and knowledge of China, examining China's goal of world domination by 2049, their battle with us in the space race, and their military strategy around the world. This week we recognized the 75th anniversary of the dropping of the first atomic bomb on Japan in 1945. Tom Lewis (www.tomlewis4.wixsite.com), retired officer of the Royal Australian Navy, joins us to discuss his new book, Atomic Salvation, about how dropping the A-bomb may have saved millions of lives. The narrative about whether or not it was a good idea to drop the bombs has changed dramatically over the years. Next, we play a clip from John's appearance on KYMS radio last weekend where he and host, Lee Lancaster, chat about the church and how it has handled crises, both in the past and in today's turbulent times. There is a reason for the turbulent times, but it can be a bit overwhelming to try and make sense of it all. We wrap up the show this week with John's boralogue, where he details the stages Marxists and postmodernists go through to destroy our country. It's getting to a point where we can no longer hunker down and hope the chaos passes us by. We need to stand up for what is right before it's too late.

I chose this photo by Emre Kuzu to accompany it because I thought it matched the mood of this piece really well, with the crashing waves and a kind of light that could either be sunrise or sunset.Here is a YouTube playlist where I will be collecting all the improvisations from this year.

The world is in turmoil. So many people saying and doing so many things that are harmful, mean-spirited, or just plain deceitful. Even believers have given in and taken on the world’s moral drift. So what will help us rise above all that? One word: Integrity. If you’re paying any attention to current events right … The post 079 – Integrity: Your Life Preserver in Turbulent Waters appeared first on Write from the Deep.

Dharma talk by Melissa Myozen Blacker, Roshi on October 9, 2018

Rick Henderson and Mike Bell continue their discussion on race relations, both from a white and a black perspective. An African-American pastor shared the conversation he had with his son about how to behave if he was pulled over in his new car. Do white parents have to have those same conversations with their children about respect for police? Is profiling ever OK? 

This audio includes a reflection offered by Rev. Rob Eller-Isaacs and a Story for All Ages told by Rev. K.P. Hong.
