Shoot us a Text.As we near the end of the week, there's been some resolution to the port strike, but it looks like Helene will have lingering effects on the used car market. Meanwhile, Rivians are reportedly still functioning fine after floods and Ray-Bans are being used to scrape your personal information.Show Notes with links:A crippling three-day strike by U.S. dock workers has ended with a tentative agreement, reopening ports on the East and Gulf Coasts. However, unresolved issues could spark future disruptions.Union and port operators agreed to extend their contract until January 2025, with more negotiations expected.Dock workers secured a tentative 62% wage hike over six years, raising wages from $39 to $63 an hour.The strike halted 45 container ships and affected 36 ports, threatening shortages of goods like bananas and auto parts.While the deal ends the immediate work stoppage, automation concerns that could lead to job losses remain unresolved.Hurricane Helene has left widespread destruction across the Southeast, and the storm's aftermath is likely to push both new and used car prices up as consumers scramble to replace damaged vehicles.Used car demand is expected to rise sharply, particularly for low-cost options under $10,000, which are already hard to find."This will jack up used car prices when everybody is already paying overprice," warns Cox Automotive's Skyler Chadwick.Dealers are facing a shrinking inventory, forcing them to "get creative" with sourcing strategies to meet the surging demand.Fixed operations departments are expected to see increased business, as many water-damaged vehicles will require repairs. "It is a revenue source when stuff like this happens," notes Don Monda of Proctor Dealerships.A Rivian R1T submerged in Hurricane Helene's catastrophic flood waters still functions, showcasing the robust engineering behind electric vehicles.The Rivian was found 100 yards from where it was parked, fully covered in mud and floodwater.Despite being engulfed by floodwaters, the R1T started up, with no apparent issues after being fast-charged.Rivian credits the truck's water-sealed battery packs and advanced isolation monitoring for its survival.Two Harvard students demonstrated a troubling new way to misuse consumer tech, using Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses paired with facial recognition and AI to expose privacy risks.The students used the glasses to capture images of strangers, then matched them with online facial recognition software.They built a program, I-XRAY, that gathered personal data from the internet within minutes, including addresses and family details.They emphasized they wouldn't release the program, but instead aimed to highlight privacy concerns around tech and AI, warning, "With the right tools, like artificial intelligence, it's easier, faster, and potentially Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Two Harvard students, Caine Ardayfio and AnhPhu Nguyen, say they have hacked a pair of Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses and installed facial recognition software, so that merely looking at someone's face will bring up their name, address, age, biography and any other information available on online databases.

It's Harvard's second week back in class and campus tensions are already back in the headlines.Two Harvard graduate students charged with assault and battery during a pro-Palestine protest last May face yet another delay in their arraignment date.A September 5th statement from the University provided updated guidance for those affected by doxing attacks, following months of criticism of its failure to protect students.On Friday, President Alan Garber met with eight members of Harvard Out of Occupied Palestine in the Smith Campus Center to discuss the Harvard endowment. Outside the building, more than 80 students demanded divestment from Israel in the first pro-Palestine protest of the semester.And, from our colleagues on the news desk, a deep dive into the Harvard Corporation's selection of Harvard's 31st president. How did Alan Garber successfully secure his position after a semester of extraordinary crisis?Design by Sami E. Turner. 

Patrick is joined by Dr. Michael Masters, one of the authors of the viral "Cryptoterrestrial" research paper making the rounds on the internet. A research paper was recently published on ReseachGate, a social networking site for academics, and it had some people scratching their heads. The paper aimed to ask “What if Aliens are walking amongst us?” They titled the paper “The cryptoterrestrial hypothesis: A case for scientific openness to a concealed earthly explanation for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.”There were three featured authors of the paper, Two Harvard researchers Tim Lomas and Brandon Case who persuaded the third author to join them Dr. Michael Masters, a tenured professor of Anthropology at Montana Technological University.Our guest today is Dr. Michael Masters, here to explain the paper which he claims is one of the most viewed papers ever on the site with Over 130,000 people viewing the paper in under a week. We also discuss the global reactions to the paper and we hear about Dr. Master's own experiences with the phenomena, something that shattered his worldview, something he calls Ontological Shock. We finish by discussing the Nazca Mummies and get his opinion on the matter. Please Enjoy the interview.

Both of them come on The Pakistan Experience to discuss the issues with the education system in Pakistan. What is the solution? Privatizing education or uniform public education? What is the future of online education? Can schools survive the Corona virus outbreak? When should they open up? The Pakistan Experience is a podcast looking to tell stories about Pakistan, and Pakistanis, through the lost art of conversation.

Two Harvard psychologists recently found in a study that 47% of the time our mind is not in the present moment. The amount of time our mind is not in the present moment is connected to our unhappiness. Staying in the present is so important because the present moment is also the ONLY place high performance happens and the only place we can be great leaders and parents. The key is to give up on nursing those grudges, or recalling the past when things didn’t go well. We need to train ourselves not to live in the future focused on pressure, fear and anxiety. Remember that staying in the present moment more often is all about awareness first, and a choice second.   This week’s Power Phrase:  “I own the moment. I train my mind to be in the present, right here, right now.”

In this podcast, these two young professionals share what it means to pursue radical generosity with their growing families and how their Giving Funds with NCF are a key part of their strategy to living a generous life.

Hi, everyone, and welcome to episode 1 of my podcast Leading A Double Life. I’m Kwei Quartey, a physician and author of the Inspector Darko Dawson novels. On my podcast, stories of what it’s like to be a medical doctor and a writer. This episode, Doctor-Writer, Incorporated. We’re going to look at a well-established but curious bond between writing and being a physician, and I’ll tell you a little bit about how it happened to me. We have records of doctor-writers as far back as the 5th century BC. Even St. Luke, one of the four Gospel authors, is said to have been a physician. John Keats, the English romantic poet who lived from 1795 to 1821, trained at Guy’s Hospital London. He had an aptitude for medicine, but he was ambivalent about it and feared he would never become the poet he wanted to be if he continued his medical training in earnest. He did continue up to getting his license, but ultimately, Keats chose poetry over surgery. On the other hand, Anton Chekhov, the great Russian playwright and short story writer born in 1860, practiced medicine throughout his medical career. Chekhov said, “Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my mistress. When I get fed up with one, I spend the night with the other.” Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of possibly the world’s most famous fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes, began writing before he went into medicine and is said to have written his books while waiting for patients to show up. Apparently, they seldom did, and Doyle’s medical practice was never successful. Another physician writer was W Somerset Maugham, who trained and qualified as a physician, but never practiced. On successfully selling his first novel, Maugham abandoned his medical career. Two Harvard-trained physicians, Robin Cook and Michael Crichton, were phenomenally successful writers. Cook, an ophthalmologist, continued his practice while writing bestselling medical thrillers like Coma and Outbreak. On the other hand, Crichton, who died in 2008, dumped medicine on graduating. He never even got a license to practice. One of his quotes is, “Books aren't written - they're rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn't quite done it.” Crichton could not have been more spot-on. Khaled Hosseini, a contemporary of mine who sold a gazillion copies of The Kite Runner and other tour de force novels, practiced medicine in the same medical group as me, but for obvious reasons he left after The Kite Runner became so successful. I’d like to mention also Janet Asimov, who was a psychiatrist and wrote science-fiction and non-fiction; and Abraham Verghese, a professor at the Stanford School of Medicine and the author of the highly acclaimed Cutting For Stone. Dr. Verghese, an inspiring teacher, said, “I wanted the reader to see how entering medicine was a passionate quest, a romantic pursuit, a spiritual calling, a privileged yet hazardous undertaking.” So, we see from these examples there’s no set pattern as to whether these authors became doctors first, or the other way around. In my case, I wanted to be a writer from the early age of eight or nine. I typed or hand-wrote novellas, stapling the pages together between jacket covers I designed myself. My inspiration came from hundreds of books at home, both fiction and nonfiction. Most of all, I loved mysteries. My late Ghanaian father and my black American mother were both lecturers at the University of Ghana, where I grew up with my three brothers. My interest in medicine came years later in my early teens. My family and I were still living in Ghana at the time, and I was set on a science-intensive path that would take me to medical school. But circumstances became complicated at the beginning of my 2nd year. Not only did my father die of pancreatic cancer, but social and economic conditions in Ghana under the then military rule were abysmal. There was political unrest and frequent school and university closures. My mother came to the difficult decision to return home to New York and we, her sons, went with her. Now I faced the daunting task of getting into a new medical school. Through a combination of luck, doggedness, and hard work, I got into Howard University College of Medicine in Washington, DC. After graduating with my MD degree, I was tired of snow on the east coast, so I moved to southern California for my residency in Internal Medicine. During my training at the USC Medical Center in Los Angeles, I didn’t do any creative writing. Residency is an exhausting grind of long call hours and rounds with not enough sleep in between. After completing the training, I went through a strange period in which I felt anticlimactic about being a doctor. Hard to believe, but I was actually looking around for what other careers I could get into. I was sitting at a desk in the ICU of one of the hospitals in Los Angeles one morning and a nurse who knew me well asked me why I looked so despondent. I told her about the funk I was in, and she asked me: “Well, what else, besides medicine, do you want to do?” I said I’d always wanted to be a writer, to which she responded, “What’s stopping you?” Her observation, in the form of a question, was keen. Nothing was stopping me. So, with my love of writing rekindled, I began a creative writing course at UCLA extension, after which I continued several years in a writing group run by Marjorie Miller, who was a previous editor at Macmillan. I completed three novels during that time and attempted a few more that I didn’t finish. I self-published one of them, called Kamila, long before self-publishing became an okay thing to do in the publishing world. But it would be years before I would create my Inspector Darko Dawson series set in Ghana. The prototype character was quite different from the one in existence now. My original idea for him was taken from a French documentary I saw while vacationing in Paris in which a countryside detective in Cote d’Ivoire used the threat of witchcraft to make his suspects and witnesses talk. But for my novels, the rural setting seemed to be limiting, and although I’d observed rural life in Ghana, it was always from the outside in. I never lived it. Eventually then, Darko became an urban police detective who is often sent to remote parts of the country to solve crimes. I should say that when as I began the series, I had some catching up to do because I hadn’t been back to Ghana in some fifteen years, and the country had modernized significantly since I’d last been there, not to mention becoming a stable democracy. So to come full circle, why do doctors write, and in particular, fiction? What compels us to do it? Some people theorize that it’s a way to escape the burden we carry healing others—or trying to—and therefore it has a therapeutic value. Maybe so, but I have another theory that medical practice is the ultimate existential battle to alleviate what ails us. There’s a roadblock, though. Ironically, it’s the doctor himself or herself. A physician is human too—not infallible by any means, and capable of mistakes, sometimes big ones. The fight against illness and disease comes with wins and losses, and some of the time, doctors feel defeated, and it can be frightening discomfiting. But when we write fiction, we are absolutely in control. We determine the plot, characters, and the outcome. It’s a reassuring counterbalance to the unpredictable nature of medicine. So we write, and find ourselves restored with strength to work another day.
