Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) was a prominent Christian composer who influenced J.S. Bach. His book, Hexachordum Apollinis (1699) was a collection of Ariettas and variations. He believed that music comes from God and reflects the song of the angels.
Wenn man zählen würde, welche Formulierungen heutzutage zu den meistgebrauchten Sprüchen zählen, dann würde wahrscheinlich ganz oben stehen: „in den Fokus rücken“ oder in der Variation: „in den Fokus gerückt“. – Diese Formel wird oft gebraucht, obwohl es deutsche Alternativen gibt, zum Beispiel: „Im Mittelpunkt des Geschehens steht …“. Oder: „In den Blickpunkt gerückt“. AlbrechtWeiterlesen

An approved variation to Clare's County Development Plan is being hailed as a win for the county. The move sees an additional 250 acres of land zoned for housing countywide, while a further 350 acres of strategic residential reserve sites have been unlocked for immediate use. Questions have been raised over whether this will make any difference given Clare's serious wastewater deficits, with 50 towns and villages still without a sewerage connection. Clare FM's Daragh Dolan has been speaking to Planning Consultant and Clonlara Independent Councillor Michael Begley on the matter, but firstly, Kilmurry Fianna Fáil Cllr Alan O'Callaghan.

DAVID BEKÄNNER FÄRG. "Alla" älskar djup färg på whisky, men vad är det egentligen som ger whiskyn kulör? Era poddare sätter tänderna i Davids senaste text i ämnet, pratar torktider på ek, portvin, och till Mathias ohöljda förtjusning (not): En ny skala signerad Edinburgh Whisky Academy. Men det är lugnt: skalan har bara 21 steg. Eller 22. Lite kaffekask-cask-whisky på det? Vad var det i glaset?

Historically we were taught as surgeons that 1-centimeter bites that between suture throws on a Pfannenstiel (low transverse) fascial closure was enough to prevent hernia formation and optimize facial healing. But is this still evidence based? We can extrapolate data from a May 2026 systematicreview/meta-anlysis as well as a separate study from the Dutch published in 2021. Both of these studies were in the journal Hernia. The evidence does favor one technique over the other! Listen in for details.1.

Despite mounting evidence, our knowledge of biodiversity redistribution is still incomplete with only 0.6% of the known species for which distribution changes have been documented. Contrary to former meta-analyses on biodiversity redistribution, I will show the extreme variability in the magnitude and direction at which species' range positions (e.g., the cold/leading edge, the centroid of the range or the warm/trailing edge) are shifting over time. Scientists often use niche models based on where species lived historically to forecast changes in species distributions, but it remains unclear how well these forecasts align with observed changes. By comparing predictions from niche-based models to actual observations of over 9,500 reports of species distribution changes across land and sea, I will show that while niche models tend to get the direction right, especially for marine species, they often fail to predict the pace of species redistribution. One potential reason behind these discrepancies involves the lack of consideration for microclimatic processes when training niche models. Focusing on forest ecosystems, I will finally demonstrate that niche models trained on microclimates can outperform traditional niche models trained solely on macroclimatic grids.Jonathan LenoirÉcologue au laboratoire Écologie et dynamique des systèmes anthropisés (EDYSAN), spécialisé en sciences forestières et dans l'étude des impacts des changements climatiques sur la distribution des espèces. Le changement climatique entraîne une redistribution massive du vivant. Dans ce cadre, Jonathan Lenoir quantifie la vitesse de migration des espèces induite par le réchauffement global. Le chercheur a notamment démontré qu'il existe une dynamique bien plus complexe qu'un simple déplacement des espèces vers les pôles et les sommets, car les vitesses de migrations sont conditionnées par les activités humaines. En effet, celles-ci ralentissent le phénomène de migration sur terre, alors qu'elles l'accélèrent en milieu marin. À l'échelle locale, le chercheur a aussi mis en avant l'existence de microrefuges impliquant des processus microclimatiques – en forêt notamment – permettant à des espèces de se maintenir dans des régions où le macroclimat n'est plus favorable. Au-delà de la théorie, les travaux de Jonathan Lenoir apportent des connaissances essentielles à la gestion des espèces forestières dans le contexte des dérèglements climatiques.

Summary In this episode, Andy welcomes back Marcus Buckingham, bestselling author and researcher, to discuss his new book, Design Love In: How to Unleash the Most Powerful Force in Business. For 25 years, Marcus studied the most productive teams, loyal customers, and effective leaders in the world, and the word that kept appearing in his data was one he kept changing: love. Andy and Marcus explore what love actually means in a business context, including how leaders are really experience makers whether they know it or not. You will hear the remarkable story of Josh D'Amaro, the CEO of Disney, and what his leadership reveals about designing love into a team's daily experience. Marcus unpacks the five feelings that lead people to say they love working for a leader, starting with something counterintuitive: control. The conversation also covers tough love, AI's limits as an experience maker, and how these principles can transform how we lead our families too. If you're looking for a fresh, evidence-based look at what drives sustained high performance, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "I kept hearing that word (love) and shame on me, but I did keep changing it because I felt like it was a careless exaggeration of the word like or something." "Don't keep changing the word (love). The word's the word. The question really should be why and how do we replicate it?" "You're paid to change behavior. That's all you're paid to do. You're not paid to run a project. You're paid to change behavior as a leader." "When you send an email, it's not an email. It's an experience for the person on the other end. When you call that team meeting, it's not a team meeting. It's an experience." "You join a company and then you quit your boss." "Undesigned experiences lead to unpredictable outcomes." "It's cowardly, not loving. It's cowardly to leave them in that job." "I am for you. I am for you. That doesn't always mean that I am going to tell you what you wanna hear. It means I want you to flourish." "Loving's an ingredient, right? Loving isn't, 'Be nicer.' Loving's like, 'What are you trying to do for me?'" "The beginning of love is rules. The beginning of love is clarity."

Anton Diabelli war Komponist und einer der bedeutendsten Musikverleger Wiens. Gerade als Verleger prägte er die Musikgeschichte nachhaltig – und das dank einer ebenso einfachen wie genialen Idee: Im Jahr 1819 verschickte Diabelli einen von ihm komponierten Walzer an zahlreiche Komponisten des österreichischen Kaiserreichs mit der Bitte, jeweils eine einzige Variation darüber zu schreiben. Geplant war eine Sammelpublikation für das klavierspielende Publikum – ein musikalisches Gemeinschaftsprojekt voller kurzer, leicht spielbarer Charakterstücke. Die Resonanz war überwältigend. Rund fünfzig Komponisten beteiligten sich an dem Vorhaben, darunter Franz Schubert, Franz Liszt, Johann Nepomuk Hummel, Carl Czerny und Franz Xaver Mozart. Auch Ludwig van Beethoven wurde angefragt. Doch anstatt nur eine einzelne Variation beizusteuern, entwickelte er aus Diabellis schlichtem Walzer einen monumentalen Klavierzyklus: die 33 Diabelli-Variationen – ein Werk von schier unerschöpflichem Ideenreichtum und heute ein Höhepunkt der Klavierliteratur. Diabellis Einfall wirkte weit über seine Zeit hinaus. Bis heute inspiriert der unscheinbare Walzer Komponistinnen und Komponisten zu immer neuen Variationen und musikalischen Deutungen. Genau diesem faszinierenden Kosmos widmet sich die aktuelle «Diskothek». Im Zentrum stehen verschiedene Interpretationen von Beethovens Diabelli-Variationen, aber auch den Variationen von Franz Schubert, Franz Liszt und Johann Nepomuk Hummel, die aus demselben Thema ganz eigene Klangwelten erschaffen haben. Zudem schlagen wir den Bogen bis in die Gegenwart mit einer zeitgenössischen Variation von Jörg Widmann. Was macht eigentlich eine gelungene Variation aus? Wie verwandelt man ein einfaches musikalisches Thema in ein eigenständiges Kunstwerk? Gäste bei Eva Oertle sind der Pianist Oliver Schnyder sowie der Organist, Dirigent und Komponist Rudolf Lutz. Für die Diskothek hat Rudolf Lutz eigens zwei neue Variationen komponiert, die er gemeinsam mit Oliver Schnyder live in der Sendung aufführen wird.
In this episode we answer emails from Geraldo, Rock, Ute. We discuss how to give well, shifting from big-name school donations to smaller charities with immediate impact, moving from individual stocks to a Golden Butterfly style portfolio with less stress, treating Roth conversions as optional and highly personal rather than automatic, using a conservative Interactive Brokers margin loan as a temporary cash buffer, lowering margin-call risk with diversification and alternatives, and pressure-testing inflation claims for retirees and comparing U.S. data with and older study from The Netherlands.And THEN we our go through our weekly and monthly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page: Donate - Father McKenna CenterWCI Podcast Episode re Charitable Giving with Rebecca Herbst: How to Maximize the Impact of Your Charitable Giving - WCI Podcast #470Referenced Inflation Study Paper: S1474747216000202jra 85..109J.P Morgan Inflation Study: JP_Morgan_White_Paper_Three_Retirement_Spending_Surprises.pdf - Google DriveRAND Inflation Study: Spending Trajectories After Age 65: Variation by Initial Wealth | RANDBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:You can be “right” about taxes and still be wrong about living. We dig into three listener emails that expose a common trap for smart investors: turning retirement into an endless optimization project, while the real goal is a calmer portfolio, a sustainable withdrawal plan, and a life you actually want to spend money on.First, we walk through a practical way to transition from individual stocks to a Golden Butterfly portfolio without getting paralyzed by detail. We talk about why macro allocation matters more than the exact ticker list, how to think about growth vs value exposure, and why simplifying inside retirement accounts is usually easier than in taxable accounts where capital gains can bite. We also share what we'd try to eliminate first when someone is de-risking for retirement.Next, we zoom out to retirement tax planning and charitable giving. We discuss why blanket advice on Roth conversion strategy and withdrawal order often fails, what it means to “disgorge” traditional IRAs before RMD age, and how qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) can be a quietly powerful tool for charitably inclined retirees.Then we tackle margin as a tool, not a lifestyle. We break down using a conservative Interactive Brokers margin backstop, how diversification can reduce drawdowns and margin-call risk, and why assets like Treasuries, gold, and managed futures show up again in risk parity style thinking. We also address a listener challenge on retiree inflation and why country, data vintage, and healthcare systems can flip the conclusion.If you like clear portfolio mechanics with real-world tradeoffs, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more DIY investors can find us.Support the show

The GPonline team talks about collective action, after the BMA GP committee narrowly voted in favour of the move, what that action involves and what needs to happen to resolve the dispute.They look at the practice-level reimbursement scheme for GPs, how that is going to work and some of the issues and challenges the scheme could present.And they discuss some late changes to the network contract DES - the contract that governs how primary care networks work - which will allow ICBs to introduce local variations to help develop neighbourhoods and what that could all mean in practice.In our good news story this week, Emma reflects on a conference on tackling health inequalities she attended this week and the great work going on in many local communities.This episode was presented by GPonline editor Emma Bower, deputy editor Nick Bostock and senior reporter Kimberley Hackett. It was produced by Czarina Deen.Useful linksBMA lays out collective action roadmap and escalation planWill GPs unite behind collective action?NHS Modernisation Bill to introduce single patient recordPractice-level GP reimbursement scheme limited to salaried GPsRestrictive GP contract changes 'will not boost access'Could new PCN rules make neighbourhood contracts redundant?PCNs should refuse contract variations if work is not properly funded, says BMA Hosted on Acast.

Americans throw away nearly 5 million tons of film and flexible plastic packaging every year, and less than 1% of it gets recycled, according to The Recycling Partnership. The salad bag, the potato bag, the pallet wrap behind every grocery store — all of it is technically recyclable, almost none of it actually is, and food contact applications make the math even harder, because the FDA requires rigorous migration testing before a single recycled pellet can touch what we eat. Kevin Kelly, CEO of Emerald Packaging, the largest supplier of retail flexible packaging to the U.S. produce industry, has spent decades on that problem from inside the industry. In December 2025, his Union City, California–based, third-generation family business announced that it had eliminated more than 1 million pounds of virgin polyethylene over the previous year by replacing it with post-consumer recycled (PCR) material, including, in partnership with Walmart, Idaho Package, and Wada Farms, the first 30% PCR potato bag approved for direct food contact. In this episode of Sustainability In Your Ear, Kevin walks through what it actually took to get that bag on a Walmart shelf, why most flexible packaging companies still won't try, and why the most ambitious recycling law in the country may push the industry in the wrong direction.[Food-grade PCR is a different animal from the recycled plastic in a milk crate or a contractor bag. To pass FDA scrutiny, the feedstock has to be traceable from a known, food-adjacent source. For Emerald, that mostly means pallet wrap collected from Walmart distribution centers, washed, dried, and repelletized by suppliers like Dow Chemical's Circulus mechanical recycling business and Canada's Nova Chemicals. Variation in any given load of recyclable plastic causes carbon buildup on Emerald's extrusion lines, forcing a shutdown every eight hours for cleaning, and waste rates are higher than with virgin resin. The company has had to audit its own suppliers in person, push back on competitors who hide non-food-grade PCR in the middle layer of multilayer films and call it sustainable, and walk produce buyers through what “food-grade” actually means before they sign on. Kevin describes Emerald as “the canary in the coal mine” for food-grade PCR — he can't find another bag in the store that's labeled the same way.The harder argument Kevin makes is about policy. California's SB 54, the most ambitious extended producer responsibility (EPR) law in the country, with a 65% recycling rate target and a 25% source reduction mandate by 2032, was supposed to drive exactly the kind of work Emerald is doing. But Kevin says the rulemaking went the other way. The pound-for-pound PCR credit that would have rewarded companies for replacing virgin resin with recycled content was stripped out, and the fees are low enough that producers can hit early reduction targets through agricultural film and other low-hanging fruit without ever switching to food-grade PCR. The deeper structural problem Kevin lays out is the capital story. Family-owned manufacturers freed from quarterly returns pressure, Kevin argues, are doing more to push food-grade PCR forward today than the capital pools that are theoretically supposed to fund the energy and sustainability transition.To find out more about Emerald Packaging, visit empack.com.
Andrew Clugston, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow in the Sweet-Cordero Lab at UCSF joins us on OsteoBites to discuss his OutSmarting Osteosarcoma funded work, in partnership with the RISE Foundation, on defining tumor-specific vulnerabilities by mapping oncogenic structural variation in osteosarcoma.The genomes of osteosarcoma (OS) cancer cells are among the most complex cancer genomes ever observed. Initially formed by hundreds to thousands of incorrectly repaired DNA breaks (structural variants; SVs), OS genomes contain DNA structures that are unique to that patient and tumor cell, combining genes and regulatory features from across the genome in ways that effectively re-wire that cell's gene expression mechanisms. OS cells are also susceptible to further SVs over time and in response to treatment, potentially allowing OS tumors to evolve rapidly. But these complex and tumor-specific genomic structures may also harbor tumor-specific vulnerabilities. By mapping the many unique DNA structures among patient-derived OS tumor cells, Dr. Clugston has attempted to demonstrate that it is possible both to describe the essential structures within these cells and to search them for novel target genes vulnerable to existing drugs and treatment protocols. Using chromatin conformation capture sequencing (HiC) to observe the shape of the genome and optical genome mapping (OGM) to identify tumor-specific DNA structures, Dr. Clugston has produced tumor-specific maps for multiple patient-derived OS tumor cell lines and has begun development of a search process based on long-read mapping techniques that he hopes will inform future patient-specific treatment protocols.Andrew Clugston grew up in the small town of Lake Luzerne, New York. He received a BS in Biochemistry and an MS in Chemistry at the Rochester Institute of Technology, and he received his PhD in Integrative Systems Biology at the University of Pittsburgh. During his PhD he learned to use and develop bioinformatics tools and techniques to study the role of the genome in kidney as well as eye development, and in the process became fascinated with the importance of 3-dimensional organization in regulating cell behavior. Andrew has since joined the Sweet-Cordero laboratory in the Pediatric Oncology Division at the University of California San Francisco as a Postdoctoral Fellow. There, he applies his knowledge and skillset to study how disruptions in these organizational principles allow osteosarcoma cells to develop and proliferate, and how these changes reveal tumor-specific vulnerabilities that can be exploited for fast and effective treatment options that improve the lives of patients.
【主播的话】去年一个偶然的机会，我在纽约认识了高琴教授，还发现我们是邻居。在那之前，我已经对高琴教授的有所耳闻。她是著作丰硕的社会政策学者，在哥伦比亚大学社会工作学院任教，是讲席教授，同时担任博士项目主管副院长，以研究中国贫困问题见长。她常年组织大规模的社会调查，用数据来研究贫困的根源、影响与政策应对。她同时还是哥大“亚裔美国人”项目主任。在哥大——一个竞争激烈、精英云集、以全球化和多元化闻名、但却仍然主要由白人学者执掌的常春藤高校——能做到管理层的亚裔女性，仍然少之又少。这背后所需要的努力与卓越，超出常人想象。认识之后，邻里的便利让我们多了一些深聊的机会。串门这件事，在硕大的纽约并不常见——跟朋友约着喝个咖啡，通勤很可能要一小时以上。我们俩都来自县城，分享着从小地方到北京再到美国的点滴，在繁华的纽约这也不常见——能在这里留下扎根的华人朋友，大多数还是出身于中国的大城市，有着较好的家庭支持。我带着初到纽约的许多困惑，向她寻求过职业上的建议、也分享过生活的琐碎。而她也总是在极其繁忙的日程中挤出时间，跟我见面或者电话。我渐渐感到，她的本人比外在那些光鲜的标签还要闪光。她告诉我，自己如何开始对贫困问题感兴趣：在并不发达的山西县城长大，她从小就对贫困问题有切身感知。有乞丐上门讨食，奶奶永远会为他们准备食物，不让这些人空手而归。她那时就播下了种子，想知道：穷人为什么会如此贫穷？有什么办法可以改变他们的境遇吗？后来她离开山西、去了北京、上了北大；又离开中国、到了纽约，加入哥大，成为了全球知名的贫困和不平等研究学者。通过研究政策、改变政策的方式，为这些根深蒂固的贫困问题提出解法。在与高琴老师的数次聊天中，我时常感到启发与鼓舞。便向她发出邀请，到播客上来做一次分享，希望更多的人——特别是那些在世界不同地方被贫困、阶层、社会地位、性别种族偏见、历史周期暂时困住了的人——可以听到她的故事。【本期主播】王磬：微博@王磬【本期嘉宾】高琴：哥伦比亚大学莫里斯 · 罗素社会政策与社会工作实务讲席教授，社会工作学院博士教育主管副院长，哥大中国社会政策研究中心的创始主任，哥大“亚裔美国人”项目主任【本期剧透】01:41 童年种子：从山西农村到县城的人生跃迁07:15 从贵州/山西到北京，贫富差距与视野巨变10:33 不仅要看贫困率的“面”，更要看贫困人口具体的感受和体验的“深度”16:32 低收入人口如何界定？低收入意味着什么？21:07 中国低保制度的缘起与发展25:29 福利会养懒汉吗？中、美、欧的福利观有何不同？29:52 在美华人日渐增多，如何做这个群体的社会调查？37:37 亚裔美国人研究项目：从社会科学视角补齐历史缺失42:07 亚裔女性学者需要找到自己的勇气与能动性50:04 如何向学界证明亚裔课题的重要性？56:57 纽约生活与归属感：在第二故乡回馈社会【Get In Touch】高琴教授最近也刚刚开设了专门助力亚裔女性在美国职场发展的教练与培训服务。如果对此类服务感兴趣，欢迎发邮件咨询：gaocoaching@gmail.com【相关阅读】福利、工作与贫困：中国的社会救助Welfare, Work, and Poverty: Social Assistance in China作者：高琴出版社：Oxford University Press出版时间：2017年本书对中国主要的社会救助项目——“最低生活保障制度”（简称“低保”）自1993年建立以来的影响和成效进行了系统且全面的评估。低保制度肩负着双重功能：既要为贫困人口提供基础的安全网，又要维护社会的政治稳定。书中利用大量的实证研究证据，分析了这一全球覆盖人口最多的福利项目的实际运作情况。该书为政治学家、经济学家、社会学家、公共政策研究者以及社会工作者提供了理解当代中国社会转型和安全网构建的重要参考文献。Poverty Tracker纽约市贫困追踪者项目由哥伦比亚大学贫困与社会政策中心（Center on Poverty and Social Policy, CPSP）与纽约最大的扶贫慈善机构罗宾汉基金会（Robin Hood Foundation）共同发起。通过长期、高频的追踪，动态观察纽约居民如何进入贫困、如何挣扎以及如何脱贫。该项目于2012年启动，追踪一个由约 3,000 至 4,000 户纽约市家庭组成的代表性样本。项目最初每三个月（季度）进行一次调研，以捕获短期生活波动（如一次突发的医疗支出或失业）。自2022年起，调研频率调整为每年三次（即每四个月一次）。除了传统的“收入贫困”指标，它还衡量物质匮乏（如食物不足、无力支付账单）、健康状况以及社会流动性。其数据多次被纽约市政府用于评估最低工资政策、带薪家事假以及税收减免的效果，是美国地方政府制定反贫困政策的重要实证基础。根据其2026年3月发布的最新年度报告显示，由于通货膨胀和生活成本上升，纽约市的贫困率已攀升至 26%（约220万人）。罗宾汉基金会研究报告页面：https://robinhood.org/reports/poverty-tracker-annual-report-vol-8/哥伦比亚大学官方页面：https://povertycenter.columbia.edu/node/191全美华人调查National Survey of Chinese Americans该研究由哥伦比亚大学社会工作学院（高琴教授团队）与百人会（Committee of 100）于2022年联合开展首轮调查。它是目前针对美国华裔群体规模最大、覆盖面最广的社会调查之一，样本量接近 6,500名华裔成年人。调查不仅关注人口普查式的基本数据，更深入探讨了以下议题：身份认同与归属感：华裔如何看待自己在美身份以及“永久外国人”的刻板印象。歧视与心理健康：量化反亚裔仇恨（Anti-Asian Hate）对华裔日常生活、心理安全感的影响。政治参与度：华裔在选举、社区事务中的参与现状及政治偏好。经济贡献与差距：打破“模范少数族裔”的单一叙事，揭示华裔内部巨大的经济差距与贫困问题。该调查的数据为政策制定者、社区组织和学术界提供了极具价值的实证支持，旨在消除对华裔群体的误解，推动针对该群体的社会服务与政策改善。哥大中国社会政策中心研究报告发布页面：https://chinacenter.socialwork.columbia.edu/news/full-report-the-state-of-chinese-americans百人会官方项目主页 (State of Chinese Americans)：https://www.committee100.org/our-work/state-of-chinese-americans-survey/【本期音乐】Goldberg Variations, BWV. 988 - Variation 18.

This episode of the Real Science Exchange features Dr. Mary Beth Hall, founder of The Cows Are Always Right and former USDA‑ARS scientist, discussing her highly attended Real Science Exchange webinar, Manure Evaluation: Figuring Out What's Going On Between Cows and Their Rations. Joining the pub‑table conversation are Dr. Clay Zimmerman, Dr. Stefano Vandoni, and Dr. Sion Richards. Dr. Mary Beth Hall explains why manure evaluation is one of the most reliable diagnostic tools in dairy nutrition, providing a direct biological response that may not appear in ration models or performance data. She emphasizes why manure must be evaluated alongside cow behavior and production metrics. (09:28) Mary Beth breaks down the science of fecal pH, including how to measure it correctly, why results can be misleading if done improperly, and what fecal pH reveals about digestion beyond the rumen. She explains why fecal pH does not directly reflect rumen pH and how fiber source influences hindgut fermentation. (14:46) The discussion shifts to practical manure screening on farm. Mary Beth explains what to look for when rinsing manure, how undigested fiber or grain can signal rate‑of‑passage and feed processing issues, and why screening is best used as a qualitative diagnostic tool rather than a strict numerical benchmark. (21:36) The panel compares manure evaluation with rumination monitors and emerging dairy technologies, highlighting why sensor data must be interpreted in context with manure consistency, cow behavior, intake patterns, and diet composition to accurately assess cow health. (28:16) Real‑world troubleshooting examples illustrate how ration and management issues—including spoiled silage, feed sorting, inconsistent intake, and water quality problems—often appear first in the manure. Variation within a pen is discussed as an early warning sign for nutrition challenges. (42:14) In closing, the group reinforces why manure evaluation remains underutilized despite being one of the clearest biological indicators of cow health. Integrating manure observation with cow comfort, rumination, feeding management, and overall herd behavior is critical for better nutrition decision‑making.

Matt and Michael open on the shores — Mission Beach, specifically — and wander through the vastness of the ocean as metaphor for life's uncontrollable forces. They explore self-organized criticality: the single grain of sand that collapses the whole system, and why we resist the small fires that prevent total destruction. The conversation turns to authenticity. Can you try to be unique without becoming a trope? Matt shares the story of his college roommate asking, "But how does Matt McCloskey sing it?" — a question that still echoes 25 years later. They discuss theme and variation, the Karate Kid, and why creativity requires structure. They land on family as placeholder — the people who hold your essential self while allowing you to evolve. And finally: God doesn't fall in love with his people. He just is. Cheers y'all

Zone two isn't about pace or feel; it's about heart rate, and testing it every four to six weeks is the only way to know if you're actually getting faster.If you've been grinding out zone two runs hoping to get faster but have no idea if it's actually working, you're not alone. Most runners skip the one step that separates guessing from knowing: a simple, repeatable test you can do every four to six weeks to track real aerobic progress. In this episode, I break down how to test and improve your zone two fitness so you can run farther, faster, and more efficiently without burning out. You'll learn why most runners get this wrong, how to set a proper baseline, and how to track real progress over weeks and months. I also walk through a simple, repeatable test and a training approach that helps you see consistent gains, all while keeping things manageable and injury-free.Key TakeawaysZone two training works best when measured by heart rate, not just pace or effort.Testing regularly every 4–6 weeks gives a clear picture of improvement and prevents wasted effort.Consistency over months is key—small, gradual progress leads to big gains without burnout.Timestamps[00:18] What You'll Learn[01:36] Mistake of Zone 2/MAF Pacing[04:05] Use This Training Plan to Improve Your Zone 2[05:01] Variation of MAF - IMAT[05:47] How to MAF Test Part 2[07:07] Where to Do MAF Test[08:18] Traps to Avoid[09:10] How Slow I Was When I First Did This Test[11:03] Don't Stop in the Middle of the Test[11:54] Other Benefits of MAF Testing[12:40] Watch This to Understand Base BetterLinks & Learnings

A few weeks ago, I was skimming this NEJM paper for UCSF's Division of Geriatrics Journal club on de-prescribing anti-hypertensive medications for older adults in nursing homes. Seemed to make a world of sense. The study found no difference between the deprescribing arm and the usual care arm in mortality, the primary study outcome. I thought, great! So we can deprescribe anti-hypertensives without changing mortality, that must be what the authors concluded. I was shocked, therefore, to read in the first paragraph of the discussion that the deprescribing arm did not achieve the hypothesized 25% reduction in mortality. What?!? Why would deprescribing be associated with reduced mortality? That's not the main reason or even the first reason I think of for deprescribing. Reducing side effects that impair quality of life, sure. Less pill burden, of course. But prolonged life? Seemed a stretch. Today we hear from the first author of this study, Athanase Benetos, an esteemed geriatrician-researcher from France. For context, we also interviewed Mike Steinman, co-chair of the Beers criteria and co-lead of the US Deprescribing Research Network. We learned about: Why the hypothesis of reduced mortality in deprescribing was justified, based on natural decreases in blood pressure with aging, and the Partridge study, an observational study that found higher risks of mortality associated with using multiple anti-hypertensive and low blood pressure. Why mortality was chosen as the primary outcome. Is a negative superiority study the same as what they might have found in a non-inferiority study? (stay with us) Variation in outcome by frailty status How to place this study in context with other research, such as the Danton study mentioned on a recent podcast about deprescribing near the end of life. Dantos was a study of deprescribing for nursing home residents with dementia that was stopped early due to safety concerns. Other studies for context include Sprint, Optimize, and an observational study by Bocheng Jing (UCSF statistician in our group). At the end, we ask our guests to put it together. With all that we know at this point, what's a clinician to do? To deprescribe or not to deprescribe? And, zoot alors! I get to sing Hymne A L'amour in French! Athanase recounts the moving story of how Edith Piaf sang this song the night she learned the man she loved, Marcel Cerdan, died in a plane crash. -Alex Smith

Welcome to the WHOOP Research Series, where we breakdown into the extensive, scientific research conducted by the WHOOP Performance Science team. On this week's episode, WHOOP Global Head of Human Performance, Principal Scientist, Dr. Kristen Holmes sits down with WHOOP Senior Research Scientist Dr. Greg Grosicki to unpack the latest WHOOP Research Study on Heart Rate Variability Coefficient of Variation or HRV-CV. Using data from 21,000+ WHOOP members and 2 million nights of sleep, Dr. Holmes and Dr. Grosicki reveal why day-to-day stability in your HRV may matter more than the number itself. HRV-CV proves to outperform traditional metrics in detecting the real impact of alcohol, sleep consistency, and metabolic health, making it a great measure of healthspan. By looking deeper into the study, Dr. Holmes and Dr. Grosicki explains how HRV-CV can help you program your training smarter, improve your healthspan and build autonomic resilience. This episode unpacks how measuring HRV-CV isn't just about performance, but risk stratification and understanding your physiology over-time, not just day-to-day.

Taylor Published: 2025 430 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? Another Taylor book where a few scrappy nerds get thrust into the middle of world altering events. In this case it's the emergence of an ASI (artificial superintelligence). 3- Gun Runner By: Larry Correia and John D. Brown Published: 2025 430 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? Set in a science fiction future, this is a classic tale of scoundrels with a heart of gold, who may seem like bad guys but once you peel away their gruff exterior. Though actually the story is somewhat reversed. You see the heart of gold right from the beginning, but because they are still scoundrels, some of the scoundrelly things they do end up being bad, and they have to undo the damage they've caused. The story mostly revolves around Jackson Rook, a mech pilot whose piloting implants were once subverted forcing him to cause tremendous harm. This has left him haunted and in search of redemption.
【主播的话】1936年，在风雨飘摇的上海，鲁迅因病去世，享年55岁。2026年，是鲁迅逝世九十周年。差不多整整一个世纪过去了，鲁迅却并未远去——他依然深深存在于当代中国人的精神生活之中，存在于我们的语言、记忆与时代观念里。在中国出生长大的人，对鲁迅几乎都不会陌生。他的作品是小学课本里的重点篇目，直到今天，我们也许仍然能够熟练背出其中许多段落：从《从百草园到三味书屋》到《阿Q正传》，从《狂人日记》到《祝福》……鲁迅的文学成就不仅是中国现代文学史上的一座丰碑，在世界文学史与思想史的坐标中，也占据着不可忽视的一席之地。似乎谁都能就着鲁迅聊上几句，但又很难有谁能够真的说清、说尽——鲁迅到底是谁？他留给我们的遗产，到底是什么？“在所有二十世纪中国作家中，鲁迅无疑最具有世界语境中的对话、批评与阐释价值。”纽约大学教授张旭东这样写道。张旭东本人的学术生涯，也与鲁迅密不可分。可以说，鲁迅贯穿了他三十余年的研究道路。上世纪八十年代，他从北京大学中文系毕业后，赴美留学，师从著名左翼理论家詹明信（Fredric Jameson），并逐渐成长为当代海内外最重要的中国现代思想与文学的研究者之一。他任教于纽约大学，曾先后担任东亚系系主任、中国中心主任。他是现代性批判传统的重要继承者，也是少数真正能打通中文思想界与英文理论界的桥梁。早在八十年代“文化热”的语境中，张旭东便开始写作关于鲁迅的文章，也是较早将鲁迅置于国际理论视野、与世界经验对接的学者之一。在学术上功成名就之后，他又将研究的重心重新转回鲁迅，开始写作极富野心的《鲁迅三部曲》。目前第一部《杂文的自觉——鲁迅文学的“第二次诞生”》已经出版。而这部作品的成书过程，也贯穿了他在疫情期间纽约封城中的经历。给这些看似属于历史的研究，加入了当下的维度。在鲁迅逝世九十周年之际，如果要重新追问，鲁迅我们今天为什么仍然需要鲁迅？他究竟如何穿越时代？恐怕很少有人比张旭东更合适来展开这场对话。【本期主播】王磬：微博@王磬【本期嘉宾】张旭东：纽约大学比较文学系和东亚研究系教授、东亚系系主任、国际批评理论中心主任，兼任北京大学、华东师范大学、东京大学访问教授。研究方向包括鲁迅研究、黑格尔美学及比较文学方法论等。【本期剧透】02:45 鲁迅去世 90 周年，为什么今天还要读鲁迅？07:25 与真实的关联：鲁迅的语言不允许他说谎09:55 博物学式的写作起点15:05 被引作纽约市长的赠言，鲁迅如何跨越时空23:15 金句化与鲁迅体：毒舌≠鲁迅30:00 从周氏兄弟理解中国现代散文的分叉36:10 为什么我们总读鲁迅：中国人曾有过的一种真实，是无法割舍的41:55 不谈文学第一性，就无法谈鲁迅47:56 杂文是什么？为何是鲁迅文学的中心？55:36 阅读鲁迅的第二个 100 年：如何看待其世界性？它只能是一种民族寓言吗？01:04:30 艺术的终结之后，现代社会需要怎样的文学01:10:40 如果鲁迅活到了今天，会是怎样的存在？【相关阅读】杂文的自觉：鲁迅文学的“第二次诞生” : 1924—1927作者：张旭东出版年份：2023本书为张旭东“鲁迅三部曲”首卷，分析鲁迅文学在1924—1927年间如何以“杂文的自觉”为标志从而“成为自己”。作者表明，此期间鲁迅文学所面对的空前的外部挑战和内部压力，带来一系列深刻且不可逆的风格史及文学原理意义上的选择、决定和突变。通过作者论、文本分析与理论阐释相结合的总体批评方法，本书探讨以文体混合和写作的政治本体论为核心的鲁迅杂文句法和现象学结构。结论是：有必要在新文学和近代世界文学的历史与价值论范畴，在“艺术的终结”的哲学命题层面，去分析和把握杂文这一高于“纯文学”建制及其意识形态的文体实验与风格运动。【本期音乐】Goldberg Variations, BWV. 988 - Variation 7【节目制作】方改则【Logo设计】刘刘（ins: imjanuary)【互动方式】小红书@不合时宜微博@不合时宜TheWeirdo商务合作可发邮件至 hibuheshiyi@126.com 或微博私信会员计划咨询可添加微信：hibuheshiyi3 或发送邮件至 hibuhehsiyi@gmail.com

Send us a textA new season meets a new reality: we're grateful for 100K downloads, proud of students who crossed the finish line after multiple tries, and honest about a recent breast cancer diagnosis that changed the rhythm of our days. Missi walks through the surprise pathology, why we chose an aggressive plan, and what bilateral mastectomy and a forced season of stillness look like for a do‑everything human. We talk openly about anxiety, support, and “aggressive optimism,” because clarity and community make uncertain roads feel possible.Then we shift gears to a masterclass on the labor patterns every clinician grapples with: malposition and asynclitism. We break down synclitism versus anterior and posterior asynclitism, how to read the sagittal suture and fontanelles, and why uneven effacement is a blazing clue. You'll hear practical tools for OP and OT that move beyond clichés—mapping interventions to the inlet, mid‑pelvis, and outlet so each position serves a purpose. Think the jiggle as gentle myofascial work, forward‑leaning inversion to free tension, and strict sidelying release with stacked hips. We show how peanut balls, fire‑hydrant, rock‑the‑boat, sacral massage, and internal femur rotation widen the right spaces at the right time.For second stage, we dig into manual rotation: when to attempt it, how to disengage enough to succeed, and how skilled hands can shorten labor and prevent operative delivery. Along the way we highlight nurse‑midwife teamwork, patient‑centered pacing, and trusted resources like Spinning Babies and the Labor Progress Handbook that give units a shared language and a sharper plan. Variation in fetal position isn't failure—it's an invitation to find the position, create the space, and encourage the movement.If this conversation helps your practice or your spirit, follow, share with a colleague, and leave a quick review. Your support fuels more teaching, more tools at the bedside, and more stories of perseverance and healing.

In this episode, Jason unpacks one of the most overlooked forces quietly destroying schedules, safety, and morale on construction projects: variation. Drawing from real field experience, lean principles, and hard-earned lessons, he explains why buffers alone are not enough and why prevention and stability must come first. What you'll learn in this episode: Why variation is one of the biggest hidden drivers of chaos, delays, and burnout on projects. The difference between preventable and non preventable variation and why that distinction matters. How preparation, prefabrication, and pre planning create stability before work ever starts. Why relying on buffers without reducing variation is a losing strategy. How stable environments protect safety, quality, mental health, and production. As you reflect on your own projects, ask yourself this: how much variation are you unknowingly allowing, and what would change if stability became your top priority?
