It's Marvel Monday and we're entering the Ten Rings! ABOUT SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS Shang-Chi, the master of weaponry-based Kung Fu, is forced to confront his past after being drawn into the Ten Rings organization. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS September 3, 2021 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS Director: Destin Daniel Cretton Writers: Dave Callaham, Destin Daniel Cretton, Andrew Lanham Cast: Simu Liu as Shaun/Shang-Chi Awkwafina as Katy Tony Leung Chiu-wai as Xu Wenwu Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery Meng'er Zhang as Xialing Fala Chen as Li Michelle Yeoh as Ying Nan BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS A thousand years ago, a dude named Xu Wenwu discovers the mystical ten rings which grant godly powers including immortality. He gains crazy power and wealth for the next 1000 years. In 1996, Wenwu searches for Ta Lo, a village said to harbor mythical beasts. He travels through a magical forest to the village entrance but is stopped by a guardian, Ying Li. They flirt via fighting and fall in love. They end up having two kids, Shang-Chi & Xialing. In the present day, Shang-Chi works as a parking valet in the States with his best friend Katy. One day, they are attacked on a bus by men who steal a pendant that Li gave to Shang-Chi. We find out that the Ta Lo villagers rejected Wenwu so Li chose to leave with him. Wenwu abandoned his organization and locked away the ten rings. But clearly something's happened! Shang-Chi & Katy go to find Xialing, because they assume it was the Ten Rings that took his pendant and will go after the matching one Xialing has. They find Xialing at a secret fight club which she founded after escaping from Wenwu at 16. The Ten Rings attack the fight club and capture Shang-Chi, Katy, & Xialing. At the Ten Rings' compound, Wenwu uses the pendants to reveal a mystical map leading to Ta Lo. Wenwu explains that he has heard Li calling and believes she has been held captive in Ta Lo behind a sealed gate. He plans to destroy the village unless they release her. But that's not possible because she's dead. When Shang-Chi is seven years old, Li is murdered by Wenwu's enemies, the Iron Gang. Knowing his dad is crazy, they are like nah. We aren't helping you. They escape with the aid of disgraced actor Trevor Slattery and his mystical friend Morris, who guides them through the enchanted forest to Ta Lo. The group meets Li's sister Ying Nan who makes sure they are trained up. Wenwu and the Ten Rings arrive and attack. Wenwu overpowers Shang-Chi, and attacks the Gate he thinks his wife is being held behind. Turns out it's not his wife, it's the Dweller-in-Darkness. Wenwu saves Shang-Chi but is killed by the Dweller-in-Darkness. He gives the rings over to Shang-Chi before he dies. Shang-Chi and company are able to slay the Dweller-in-Darkness. Afterward, Shang-Chi and Katy return to San Francisco where no one believes their story. The sorcerer Wong shows up to get them. In a mid-credits scene, Wong introduces Shang-Chi and Katy to Bruce Banner and Carol Danvers and the group discusses the origins of the rings.

The Sacramento County Planning Commission meeting held on July 13, 2026, focused primarily on a zoning appeal for 6548 Sutter Avenue, alongside discussions regarding a deck legalization at Kikub Court and improvements to the county's design review process. 6548 Sutter Avenue Zoning Appeal The central item was a continued hearing from May 11, 2026, regarding a parcel map request and an appeal by neighbors. Staff addressed three specific concerns raised at the previous meeting: Road Maintenance Agreement (RMA): Staff clarified that if neighbors cannot agree on a new RMA, California Civil Code section 845 provides a framework where maintenance costs are shared proportionally. The Sacramento Metro Fire District (SFMD) will enforce road access but not cost-sharing, which remains a civil matter. Construction Staging: While a special condition for on-site construction staging was drafted to prevent blocking the private road, the Commission ultimately decided not to include it, noting that blocking emergency access is already prohibited by existing law. Semi-Rural Character: Staff determined the project is consistent with the Carmichael Action Plan's semi-rural residential definition, as the resulting parcels exceed minimum lot area requirements and allow for open space. Public Testimony and Deliberation: Appellants expressed concerns over increased traffic, the validity of existing private agreements, and unresolved code violations, specifically a recently erected six-foot solid fence. The applicant, Mr. Wong, testified that he has worked to remedy weed abatement issues and applied for a permit for the fence after neighbor complaints. The Commission also discussed a requirement that the applicant either construct an ADU to establish a primary use for the existing pool or remove the pool entirely to comply with zoning codes. Outcome: The Commission voted to deny the appeal and uphold the project approval. The motion included a new condition requiring the applicant to fix the fence violation and amended language for the fire access agreement. Other Meeting Items 3610 Kikub Court Deck: The Commission reviewed a request to legalize an existing deck and gazebo located within a 20-foot erosion zone setback. Staff noted that removing the structure would be a significant financial and structural burden and that similar encroachments exist on neighboring lots. Design Review Streamlining: Staff proposed changes to the Design Review Administrator (DRA) process to reduce duplicative efforts and increase efficiency. The Commission supported these changes, viewing them as a way to reduce bureaucracy and help meet "shot clock" requirements for housing projects. The item passed with a 4-0 vote. Announcements: The Planning Director announced that the next scheduled meeting would be cancelled.
Alice Wong was born in Indianapolis in 1974. She was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy and was told she wouldn't live to be older than 18. But in 1997, at 23, she moved to San Francisco to pursue a masters in medical sociology at UCSF, but had trouble completing it because of accessibility issues on campus. Eventually she did finish her degree, and ended up working at the University to help make it more accessible for other disabled students.Next, a conversation with two of Alice's colleagues and friends as they remember and honor her work and legacy. Sandy Ho is the Executive Director of the Disability & Philanthropy Forum and Steven Thrasher is a journalist, professor and writer who was suspended from teaching classes after speaking out on Palestine - as Wong also did.They talked about Alice on the Laura Flanders and Friends podcast.
The worst thing that can happen to an elite bencher might be the exact psychological reset needed to save their career. Before Jordan Wong could break all-time world squat records and scale a massive commercial gym facility, he had to navigate a catastrophic, full-tendon pec rupture without health insurance and a surgeon who treated him like a dumb meathead. By ripping up the traditional six-week immobilization protocol on day three and treating his recovery like a full-time corporate job, he discovered a counterintuitive approach to training longevity that most lifelong lifters ignore until it is far too late. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION The Day-Three Rebellion: Why abandoning traditional medical timelines and ignoring the six-week sling protocol saved his chest from locking up with crippling scar tissue. Auditing the Ego: The brutal reality of time-tracking your daily habits and why looking like an idiot on paper prevents empty training sessions. The Death of the Niche Gym: How shifting away from a hardcore powerlifting aesthetic to embrace gen-pop members drove a 140% explosion in revenue. The 10% Jump Trap: Why male coaches consistently ruin their girlfriends' lifting progress on the bench press by ignoring the strict math of structural percentages. Chasing the Exit: The stark biological warning against migrating to Masters divisions just to chase rankings and satisfy a fading competitive identity. MEET THE GUEST Jordan Wong is a two-time all-time world record squat holder, elite powerlifter, and the founder of Showcase Strength & Fitness in North Port, Florida. After a devastating full-tendon pec tear threatened to permanently sideline his competitive career, he leveraged the injury to completely overhaul his approach to training economics and high-performance longevity. Today, he translates that hard-earned physical resilience into business metrics, scaling his facility's footprint while cultivating a results-driven, community-first culture that bridges the gap between elite lifters and everyday athletes.

VOV1 - Lực lượng Cảnh sát Singapore (SPF) vừa công bố đoạn video ghi lại một cuộc họp trực tuyến giả mạo được tạo bằng công nghệ trí tuệ nhân tạo AI, sử dụng hình ảnh deepfake của Thủ tướng Lawrence Wong, cùng nhiều quan chức cấp cao nhằm lừa đảo các doanh nhân chuyển tiền.Vụ việc được xem là lời cảnh báo mới về mức độ tinh vi của các đường dây lừa đảo khi AI ngày càng bị lợi dụng để tạo dựng những kịch bản có độ tin cậy cao.Đoạn video do cảnh sát thu giữ cho thấy cuộc họp được dàn dựng với hình ảnh giả mạo của Thủ tướng Lawrence Wong, Tổng thống Tharman Shanmugaratnam, một số bộ trưởng, đại diện Cơ quan Tiền tệ Singapore cùng các quan chức nước ngoài và lãnh đạo nhiều tổ chức tài chính quốc tế. Nội dung cuộc họp xoay quanh tình hình tại eo biển Hormuz trước khi kết thúc bằng bài phát biểu được tạo bằng công nghệ deepfake của Thủ tướng Singapore.Sau cuộc họp, một đối tượng tiếp tục giả danh luật sư để liên hệ riêng với nạn nhân, thuyết phục chuyển tiền với lý do hỗ trợ tài chính khẩn cấp. Trong một vụ việc, một doanh nhân đã chuyển ít nhất 4,9 triệu đô la Singapore sau khi tin rằng đây là chương trình hỗ trợ do Chính phủ Singapore bảo lãnh. Chỉ khi liên hệ trực tiếp với Văn phòng Nội các, nạn nhân mới phát hiện mình đã bị lừa.Qua phân tích đoạn video, SPF xác định nhiều dấu hiệu cho thấy AI đã được sử dụng để tạo nội dung giả mạo. Lời nói không đồng bộ với chuyển động môi của người xuất hiện trong video; âm thanh được phát từ một tài khoản duy nhất thay vì từ từng người tham gia cuộc họp; trong khi phông nền và biểu tượng Zoom xuất hiện nhiều chi tiết méo và không khớp. Theo cảnh sát, đây là những dấu hiệu điển hình của công nghệ deepfake.Trước nguy cơ các vụ lừa đảo sử dụng AI ngày càng tinh vi, SPF thông báo thành lập Bộ Chỉ huy Không gian mạng trong tháng 7 này nhằm hợp nhất các lực lượng phòng, chống lừa đảo và tội phạm mạng. Theo Bộ trưởng Nội vụ Goh Pei Ming, đơn vị mới sẽ có khoảng 200 sĩ quan tham gia công tác điều tra, tác chiến và tình báo, với quy mô dự kiến tăng lên hơn 400 người trong thời gian tới.“Điều quan trọng là chúng ta phải có khả năng phát hiện và vô hiệu hóa các hạ tầng lừa đảo nhanh hơn, đồng thời với chi phí thấp hơn so với tốc độ và chi phí mà tội phạm có thể thiết lập chúng. Chỉ bằng cách đó, chúng ta mới có thể phá vỡ vòng luẩn quẩn của các hoạt động lừa đảo.”Theo ông Lee Hua Sheng, phụ trách Đội Truy vết tiền điện tử thuộc Bộ Chỉ huy Không gian mạng Singapore, một trong những nhiệm vụ trọng tâm của đơn vị mới là tăng cường hợp tác trong nước và quốc tế nhằm truy vết dòng tiền, triệt phá các băng nhóm lừa đảo và tội phạm mạng.“Chúng tôi phối hợp rất chặt chẽ với các đối tác trong và ngoài nước, bao gồm các sàn giao dịch tiền điện tử và các cơ quan thực thi pháp luật quốc tế. Mạng lưới hợp tác này giúp chúng tôi hình thành một hệ sinh thái phối hợp rộng khắp, qua đó nâng cao khả năng truy vết dòng tiền, xác định nạn nhân cũng như nhận diện và điều tra các đối tượng tình nghi.”Giới chức Singapore nhận định vụ việc là minh chứng mới cho thấy AI đang làm gia tăng đáng kể mức độ tinh vi của tội phạm mạng. Không chỉ giả mạo văn bản và giọng nói, các đối tượng còn có thể tạo dựng những cuộc họp trực tuyến với hình ảnh của lãnh đạo cấp cao để tạo lòng tin và chiếm đoạt số tiền rất lớn từ các nạn nhân. Báo cáo gần đây của Interpol cũng cho thấy các hình thức gian lận sử dụng AI có thể mang lại lợi nhuận cao gấp 4,5 lần so với các phương thức truyền thống. Theo Thủ tướng Lawrence Wong, đây là mối lo ngại nghiêm trọng đối với các quốc gia có mức độ số hóa và kết nối cao như Singapore. Để duy trì niềm tin của xã hội, chính quyền cần chủ động và luôn đi trước những mối đe dọa đang không ngừng phát triển./.

The Supreme Court just upheld birthright citizenship, striking down Trump's executive order in a 6-3 ruling that leans directly on a case 130 years in the making. We're re-releasing our deep dive into Wong Kim Ark — the Chinese American son of immigrants who won this exact fight at the Supreme Court in 1898 — because Chief Justice Roberts built this week's decision on Wong's story, by name. In this episode: the history of the 14th Amendment, the Chinese Exclusion Act, Julia Lynch's 1844 citizenship case, and how "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" has been the most contested phrase in American immigration law for over a century. Plus a new opening and closing segment breaking down this week's ruling, the rejected "domicile" argument, and why the fight isn't actually over. Birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment. American identity. Immigration history. All still unfinished business. Show Notes Episode Summary Originally released in 2025, this episode traces the legal and racial history of birthright citizenship in America — from the Naturalization Act of 1790 through Wong Kim Ark (1898), Lynch v. Clarke (1844), and Trump's January 2025 executive order. This re-release adds new bookend segments covering the Supreme Court's June 30, 2026 ruling in Trump v. Barbara, which upheld birthright citizenship 6-3. What's New in This Re-Release Breakdown of the Supreme Court's ruling and Chief Justice Roberts' majority opinion Why the administration's "domicile" argument failed Fact-check: can Congress end birthright citizenship by passing a law? (No — here's why) What comes next for immigration policy after this ruling Topics Covered The 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898) Lynch v. Clarke (1844) The Chinese Exclusion Act and the Naturalization Act of 1790 Dred Scott v. Sandford and its legacy Trump's 2025 executive order on birthright citizenship Trump v.

Many claim the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution guarantees that they do. Are they right? Amy Swearer, Senior Legal Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, confronts this question head-on. PragerU 3.45M subscribers 5,880 views Premiered Jun 30, 2026 5-Minute Videos Transcript: What Is Birthright Citizenship? Presented by Amy Swearer Does the Constitution grant citizenship to anyone born in the United States? Even the children of people who've entered the country illegally? Or the children of foreign tourists who owe our country no allegiance? That's the question underlying the controversial issue of birthright citizenship. Many people today take it for granted that the answer is yes: if you're born on American soil, you're an American citizen. Period. End of issue. But is that what the Constitution says? Let's first look at the text of that document, specifically the Fourteenth Amendment. It reads, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States...” Case closed, right? Not so fast. The key phrase here is, “subject to the jurisdiction thereof…” — it creates a second condition for birthright citizenship beyond merely being born on American soil. But it also raises another question: who is born subject to U.S. jurisdiction? To answer that question, we need some historical context. The Fourteenth Amendment was ratified in 1868, just three years after the end of the Civil War. Its purpose was to rectify the infamous 1857 Supreme Court decision Dred Scott v. Sandford, in which the Court declared that black Americans were not and could never be citizens. Even after slavery was abolished in 1865, Dred Scott technically remained the law of the land. Black Americans were left in limbo—they were no longer slaves, but they still were not citizens. The Fourteenth Amendment resolved the issue, once and for all. These newly freed slaves and their descendants were certainly born “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States. This had been their home for generations. If they were not American citizens, to which other nation did they still belong? So while the Fourteenth Amendment resolved the issue as it related to race, its authors would have been shocked to learn that we now interpret these words to make citizens of virtually anyone born on U.S. soil, under all circumstances. As Yale Law Professor William C. Robinson explained in his 1875 legal treatise, the Fourteenth Amendment grants citizenship only to those “born within the jurisdiction and allegiance of the United States”—a condition that requires, at minimum, lawful permanent residence in this country. This was also the original understanding of the federal government. In 1885, for example, the State Department rejected the citizenship claim of a man named Richard Greisser. Yes, Greisser had been born in Ohio eighteen years earlier, but his German parents never intended to stay in the United States. They returned with their son to Germany shortly after his birth. Because Greisser's parents did not owe the United States political allegiance, their son wasn't born subject to its jurisdiction, at least not within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment's citizenship clause. Similarly, in 1890, the Justice Department considered the citizenship claim of a child born to one Mary Devereaux, a pregnant Irish woman being held on a ship in New York Harbor. While awaiting immigration approval, Devereaux left the ship for medical treatment and subsequently gave birth in a New York hospital. Authorities later denied her immigration application. Because Devereaux wasn't eligible for lawful admission to the U.S., her U.S.-born daughter was not recognized as a U.S. citizen. Both mother and child were sent back to Ireland. The Supreme Court addressed the question of birthright citizenship in the 1898 case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark. Wong was born and raised in San Francisco, the son of Chinese immigrants. In 1895, after a short trip to China, Wong returned to the U.S., only to be detained by authorities and threatened with deportation. Wong sued, arguing that he was an American citizen by birth. The Supreme Court agreed. Access the full transcript here...
Alessandro Barban"Coscienza Conoscenza e informazione quantistica. Alla radice dell'essere"Gabrielli Editoriwww.gabriellieditori.itIl grande tema della Conoscenza e della Coscienza viene affrontato in un dialogo fecondo e convergente tra Scienza e SpiritualitàDopo il successo di “Resurrezione. Fisica quantistica, teologia e mistica a confronto”, torna la nuova proposta che vede come autori alcune tra le menti più brillanti e avanzate presenti in Italia. È convinzione degli autori che Coscienza, Conoscenza e Relazione costituiscono, insieme, i fondamenti di ogni autentico processo di esistenza e umanizzazione.In queste pagine il grande tema della Conoscenza e della Coscienza viene affrontato in un dialogo fecondo e convergente tra Scienza e Spiritualità. Alla luce dei diversi ambiti della scienza contemporanea – dalla fisica e informazione quantistica alle scienze della psiche e delle neuroscienze – e alla luce delle diverse tradizioni spirituali – bibliche, orientali, mistiche ed eco-teologiche – il testo affronta il tema della Conoscenza come processo universale, che attiene in qualche modo al “divino”, ovvero all'Uno, ma anche come percorso di crescita e maturazione di ogni essere umano in relazione al Tutto e agli altri.«La conoscenza è qualcosa di vivo, non di statico, qualcosa che non si può catturare in un istante perché cambia continuamente. La conoscenza non esiste di per sé: è necessario che ci sia un soggetto della conoscenza. Ne consegue che, per conoscere, è necessaria la coscienza: la coscienza, cioè, è la capacità di conoscere.» Federico Faggin«La conoscenza, la scienza e la coscienza non possono essere guardate in maniera disgiunta: non era così per gli antichi e non dovrebbe essere così neanche per noi. Il problema è duplice: la conoscenza della cosa e la conoscenza del sé, la scienza e la coscienza. Due problemi uno più gigantesco dell'altro.»Erica Francesca PoliFederico Faggin – fisico, inventore, imprenditore, autore di una nuova teoria scientifica sulla coscienza, a partire dalla fisica quantisticaNatura ed evoluzione della conoscenzaEnrico Facco – medico, professore di anestesiologia all'Università di PadovaLa coscienza, l'inconscio, e la teoria neurofenomenologica dei tre mondiErica Francesca Poli – medico psichiatra, psicoterapeutaPer insufficienza di prove: assolvere il Trascendente nella ConoscenzaDebora Rienzi – teologa, poetessa, scrittriceSapienza originaria.

To open the episode, Erica Marini, PharmD, discussed a roundup of FDA and research updates in neurology. She covered the shifting accelerated-approval pathway for AMT-130 (uniQure), a gene therapy for Huntington disease, and a similar back-and-forth for a Hunter syndrome gene therapy. She also noted an expanded indication for olezarsen (Tryngolza; Ionis Pharmaceuticals) in severe hypertriglyceridemia, a UK study linking hypotension to Alzheimer risk, and data suggesting shingles vaccination may lower dementia risk in Medicare beneficiaries. From the American Headache Society meeting, she highlighted phase 2b data on the TRPM8 agonist elismotrep (Kallyope), and the anti-PACAP antibody bocunebart (Lundbeck) for migraine, along with retrospective findings tying CGRP monoclonal antibodies to increased fracture risk and higher odds of spontaneous abortion in early pregnancy.The core interview featured Adrian Wong, PharmD, MPH, BCCCP; and Cayley Krkljes, PharmD, BCPS, of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center who discussed a systematic review published in Pharmacotherapy of clinically significant drug-drug interactions with phenobarbital and primidone. Wong and Krkljes described growing use of phenobarbital for alcohol withdrawal and note that health care professionals often underappreciate its interaction potential despite it being a well-known enzyme inducer. Key findings included an induction onset of 24 hours to 30 days and an offset of 2 to 8 weeks, findings that carry particular weight for transitions of care since inpatient dosing effects can persist well after discharge. The most clinically impactful interactions involved anticoagulants (warfarin and direct oral anticoagulants [DOACs]), methadone, and immunosuppressants, with approximately 85% of reviewed studies reporting some outcome impact. They also pushed back on recent social media claims that phenobarbital-DOAC interactions are not clinically relevant, pointing out methodological limitations in the studies behind that claim.The conversation moved into practical risk stratification: The guests described considering a patient's individual risk factors—such as recent thrombosis, transplant status, or opioid use disorder treatment with methadone or buprenorphine—before choosing phenobarbital over benzodiazepines for alcohol withdrawal. They outlined next steps for research, including studying real-world outcomes in high-risk medication combinations and surveying health care professional awareness of these interactions to identify education gaps. The episode closed with career advice for pharmacists interested in research—start small, find mentors, and leverage institutional resources.Key Takeaways: Phenobarbital's interaction risk is widely underrecognized. Despite growing use for alcohol withdrawal, phenobarbital's enzyme-inducing effects can persist for weeks after the last dose (onset 24 hours to 30 days; offset 2 to 8 weeks), making transitions of care a critical window for catching interactions—especially with anticoagulants, methadone, and immunosuppressants, which accounted for the most clinically impactful outcomes in the review. Not all "reassuring" data holds up under scrutiny. Wong and Krkljes challenged circulating social media claims that phenobarbital-DOAC interactions aren't clinically relevant, noting the studies behind those claims had methodological limitations, emphasizing the importance of evaluating primary literature rather than secondhand interpretations. Risk stratification should guide phenobarbital use. Individual patient factors (eg, recent thrombosis, transplant status, or opioid use disorder treatment with methadone or buprenorphine) should inform whether phenobarbital or a benzodiazepine is the safer choice for alcohol withdrawal management.

June may be coming to an end, but Trans Pride isn't over yet, Spookies! We've still got one week left, and we're finishing off with a real hoot of a Fifth Tuesday. For our bonus episode this month, we're hitching a ride with a few fabulous femmes in To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar (1995), a movie with a title so long it might as well be one of our themed events. In this '90s flick, leading men Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo set their action star personas aside to play a motley crew of drag queens on a cross-country trip. Full of heart and humor, this queer comedy engages with questions of identity and self-expression ahead of its time while showing audiences just what American allyship can look like. This month, we're donating all of our proceeds to non-profit organizations dedicated to helping and protecting the trans community. You can help by participating in our Instagram fundraiser benefiting Transgender Law Center, joining our Patreon, or streaming both old and new episodes through the end of June.

EP 34 - "A Journey of Reinvention" | Andrew Wong | Paper ArtistAndrew Wong is a New Jersey-based paper artist originally from Hong Kong. Trained in fashion design at Parsons School of Design in New York and Paris, his creative path took a turn during the pandemic when he returned to art after years away. What began as handmade paper creations for his children evolved into 10past9, a practice rooted in quiet, late-night creativity.
On this episode of Power House, Zeb Lowe sits down with James Wong, CEO of MAXA Designs, to explore a deceptively simple question: What actually makes a brand matter? For an industry obsessed with logos, colors and marketing campaigns, Wong argues that branding has very little to do with design alone. The strongest brands aren't built on aesthetics—they're built on trust. They make a clear promise, deliver on it consistently and create a story people remember. Wong shares how an early project helping real estate agents unexpectedly launched his career and revealed a pattern among top producers: long before personal branding became fashionable, the best agents understood that visibility and trust compound over time. The conversation breaks down why so many mortgage and real estate professionals misunderstand branding, how companies can define a brand beyond visuals, and why storytelling and consistency remain the most powerful competitive advantages in a crowded market. Wong also shares lessons from the Exhibit Awards, the national branding competition he created, and what separates award-winning organizations from the ones that struggle to stand out. The discussion concludes with AI's growing role in marketing and why technology won't replace great brands—it will amplify them. The companies that win the next decade won't be the loudest. They'll be the clearest, most consistent and most trusted.

Join Elevated GP by visiting THEELEVATEDGP.COM In Part 2 of his conversation with Dr. Melissa Seibert, periodontist Dr. David Wong unpacks why patients actually decline treatment — and it's rarely the money or the dentistry. It's the connection you failed to build. He walks through the soft-skill work that's defined his career: reading where a patient sits on the decision-making scale, designing a separate consultation room so he can sit beside patients instead of across from them, and disarming fight-or-flight by finding common ground fast. He also shares one of the most underrated networking moves in dentistry — joining your local Chamber of Commerce — and how it helped him launch a practice from scratch. The second half pivots to the clinical: ridge preservation as a high-ROI skill for general dentists, how to think about bone graft material selection without getting overwhelmed by terminology, membrane selection for beginners through advanced users, and the specific brands David reaches for day to day. About the Guest Dr. David Wong is a board-certified periodontist and Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists — the only periodontist in Oklahoma to hold that distinction. He completed his periodontal training at the University of Missouri-Kansas City as chief resident, earned advanced implant and oral plastic surgery credentials from Temple University and the Misch International Implant Institute, and has published in the field of oral plastic surgery. Beyond his clinical work, he has spent his career studying the art of case presentation and patient communication. Chapter Markers Time Section 00:00 Pre-roll: Elevated GP 00:49 Welcome and episode preview 02:14 Why patients decline treatment — the connection problem 04:24 The mistake of trying to build trust in one appointment 05:06 Recommended books and resources on soft skills 06:44 Why David joins mastermind groups outside dentistry 08:35 The Chamber of Commerce — an untapped networking resource 10:41 How the Chamber helped David launch his practice from scratch 11:20 Ridge preservation as a high-ROI skill for GPs 12:30 Honest take on dental photography ROI 13:27 Bone graft material selection — keeping it simple 14:38 Allografts vs. xenografts and the global supply reality 15:18 Membrane selection: beginner, intermediate, advanced 16:19 The handling reality of amnion-chorion membranes 17:19 When primary closure matters 17:53 Non-resorbable / PTFE membranes — when they help, when they hurt 19:04 Subscribe CTA 19:20 The specific brands David uses day to day 20:35 The one thing David has invested most in: case presentation 21:09 Inside David's consultation room setup 23:04 Three resources for learning case presentation Key Takeaways On why treatment plans get declined. When patients say "I'll go home and think about it," dentists default to "they don't value the dentistry" or "they can't afford it." David's argument: the most common reason is that you didn't build trust or form a connection. People will spend $20,000 on a European vacation but not on asymptomatic dental work — that's a comparison about trust and felt need, not budget. Connection is a long game, not a five-minute pitch. New dentists try to close trust in a single appointment. David's reframe: you'll see this patient over years. Foster the relationship as long as it takes, and they will do the treatment — maybe not all at once, but eventually. The "I'm the doctor, you're the patient" model breaks in fee-for-service. Patients in a fee-for-service practice are decision-makers, not compliant subjects. You have to meet them as one. Design the room around the conversation. For any case over roughly $1,500, David moves the patient to a dedicated consultation room and sits side-by-side at a table — not across the operatory chair. He pays attention to where he's seated relative to the patient and the door. He has even recorded his own case presentations on camera and had them coached. The Chamber of Commerce is one of the most underused networking moves in dentistry. Every city has one. Dues are minimal or free. You get a room full of local entrepreneurs — publishers, contractors, surgeons, service providers — solving the same problems you are, just in different industries. When David launched his practice from scratch, the Chamber funded part of his open house, ran his ribbon-cutting, and brought a crowd. Get your CE ROI right. Start with skills that pay dividends immediately — molar endo, ridge preservation/socket grafting. They have low downside (a missed socket graft is no worse than not grafting at all), short learning curves, and you'll actually use them weekly. "Sexy" CE without immediate clinical application sits unused. Keep ridge preservation simple. Don't get lost in the 70/30 vs. 50/50 mineralized/demineralized debate. David teaches just two categories: mineralized cortical bone, or mineralized cortical-cancellous bone. That's it. For membranes, beginners should default to a long-lasting resorbable collagen membrane. The fancier options (cross-linked, titanium-reinforced, amnion-chorion, PTFE) are handling-skill problems before they're outcome problems. Case presentation isn't about "salesy words." It's about reading non-verbal cues, responding appropriately, and conducting the conversation — not delivering the right script. Notable Quotes "It's not necessarily just because they don't want it. It's not necessarily just because of financial constraints. It's because we didn't build the trust. We didn't form that connection." "You're going to see this patient more than one time. Hopefully ten years from now they're still your patient — so you have to foster that relationship as long as it takes." "We'll spend $20,000 on a European vacation. We won't spend $20,000 on dentistry when we're asymptomatic and have no known issues." "You spend all that money [on a photography setup] and you still use your intraoral camera to sell single-tooth dentistry. Good job." "Two, three years later, I am the guy where they're just like, 'Dr. Wong, just take my money and do it.'" "A lot of times dentists think that case presentation is using the right words — salesy words. That's not it at all."

Defence spending is rising whether voters like it or not. The UK has committed to 2.5% of national income and aims for nearer 3.5% over the next decade, £30bn a year for each percentage point. What does the country get back? Can defence spending be pro-growth?In this week's VoxTalk, John Van Reenen (LSE) argues that getting a return on investment based on innovation need not be left to luck. For example nuclear power, GPS and the internet all began as military projects. The spillovers can be planned for; the trick is to make defence spending innovation-rich, and make procurement work better.Traditional top-down procurement mostly produces lock-in: the same firms winning over and over. Van Reenen's study of a project at the US Air Force shows the difference: when it asked firms what they could build, rather than telling them what to make, the competitions brought in startups, generated more original patents, and spilled ideas into the civilian economy. The research behind this episode:Moretti, Enrico, Claudia Steinwender, and John Van Reenen. 2025. "The Intellectual Spoils of War? Defense R&D, Productivity, and International Spillovers." The Review of Economics and Statistics 107 (1). An ungated version is available as NBER Working Paper No. 26483.Howell, Sabrina T., Jason Rathje, John Van Reenen, and Jun Wong. 2025.

The citation above is formatted and ready for a reading list or VLE.About the guestJohn Van Reenen is the Ronald Coase School Professor at the London School of Economics and Director of the Programme on Innovation and Diffusion at the Centre for Economic Performance. He chairs the Council of Economic Advisors to the Chancellor of the Exchequer and is a Research Fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research and the NBER. His research spans innovation, productivity, industrial organisation, and the public policies that shape them.Research cited in this episodeCrowding in, not crowding out. Moretti, Steinwender and Van Reenen tracked industries across twenty-three economies over several decades and found that higher defence R&D spending raised private R&D rather than displacing it, with knock-on gains for productivity growth in the following decades.The SBIR Open Topics reform. The US Air Force Small Business Innovation Research programme traditionally ran "conventional" competitions specifying the technology wanted; from 2018 it added "open" competitions inviting firms to propose any idea useful to the Air Force. Howell, Rathje, Van Reenen and Wong compared near-winners with near-losers and found the open awards produced new military technology, more original patents, and civilian spillovers such as venture capital funding; the conventional awards mostly produced lock-in.Spin-offs from military research. Nuclear power, GPS and the internet each began as military projects before becoming civilian technologies; Van Reenen reaches back further to the claw of Archimedes, built to fend off the Roman fleet at Syracuse, as an early example of defence invention finding a wider use.The Draghi report. Van Reenen worked with Mario Draghi on his 2024 report on European competitiveness; he draws on it to argue that fragmented standards and duplicated procurement across Europe waste money, and that common standards and joint procurement would let countries specialise where they hold a comparative advantage.More VoxTalks Economics episodesIn January, Tim spoke to Moritz Schularick of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy about whether Europe can convert its industrial base into credible deterrence.

"Beef" is an American comedy-drama anthology television series created by Lee Sung Jin for Netflix. Season 1 starred Steven Yeun and Ali Wong and went on to win eight Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, and acting wins for Yeun and Wong. At the 81st Golden Globe Awards, it won in all three of its nominated categories, including Best Television Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television. Season 2 stars Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan as Joshua Martín and Lindsay Crane-Martín, and Cailee Spaeny and Charles Melton as Ashley and Austin, two couples; after the poor latter two blackmail the rich former two with footage of a heated argument that would threaten their image, a similarly prolonged feud ensues. The second season premiered on April 16th, 2026, and received critical acclaim for its performances, direction, and writing. Season 2 Director and Executive Producer Jake Schreier was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his work and experience making the series, which you can listen to below.

Join Elevated GP: https://www.theelevatedgp.com/ Do you ever feel like you're on an island in this profession, unsure of whether to monitor a case or hit the panic button? You are not alone. In this episode of Dental Digest, host Dr. Melissa Seibert sits down with board-certified periodontist Dr. David Wong to clear up the confusion surrounding soft tissue defects, gingival recession, and grafting thresholds. If you've ever looked at a patient with root exposure and wondered if a connective tissue graft is truly necessary, this deep dive into evidence-based periodontics is exactly what you need. Dr. Wong breaks down his exact clinical decision-making framework, detailing how to evaluate tissue phenotypes, measure keratinized vs. attached tissue thresholds, and factor in radiographic bone height. They also tackle the notorious "sensitivity trap" and outline exactly when a prominent root or complex defect requires an advanced ridge rebuild versus a conservative watch-and-wait approach.
How do we determine when a learner has truly mastered a skill? In behavior analysis, performance criteria such as "80% correct across two sessions" have become nearly ubiquitous. Yet despite their widespread use, many practitioners may be surprised to learn that these criteria have relatively little direct empirical support. In this episode, I'm joined by Drs. Sarah Richling and Dr. Daniel Fienup to discuss the history, research, and practical implications of mastery criteria in applied behavior analysis. Drawing on their independent lines of research, Sarah and Dan examine how different criterion levels influence skill maintenance and why behavior analysts should think carefully about what constitutes meaningful mastery. We begin by defining the terminology surrounding mastery and performance criteria and explore several important dimensions that are often overlooked, including criterion level, criterion frequency, supplementary variables, and units of analysis. The conversation then turns to the origins of the commonly used 80% and 90% thresholds. Although these criteria appear throughout ABA training and practice, Sarah and Dan explain that their widespread adoption may owe more to tradition than to empirical validation. We also discuss findings from their research comparing 50%, 80%, and 90% mastery criteria. Their studies suggest that higher performance criteria may produce stronger maintenance outcomes under some conditions, but they emphasize that practitioners should resist the temptation to adopt a new universal rule. Along the way, we explore: The distinction between mastery criteria and performance criteria. Why "80% correct" became so common in ABA. Historical influences from early behavior analytic and educational research. Research comparing 50%, 80%, and 90% mastery criteria. The relationship between mastery criteria and long-term maintenance. Why some behaviors may require near-perfect performance. The importance of considering the natural environment when setting performance standards. How units of analysis can affect instructional decision making. The risks of relying on aggregated data when teaching multiple skills. Generalization, maintenance, and supplementary variables. Lessons from Precision Teaching regarding fluency and functional mastery. Why performance criteria should be individualized rather than universally prescribed. Research opportunities for practitioners and graduate students interested in instructional design. Throughout the discussion, Sarah and Dan make a compelling case for moving beyond inherited rules and toward a more individualized, evidence-based approach to instructional decision making. Whether you're designing skill acquisition programs, supervising trainees, or simply curious about the assumptions that shape everyday practice, this episode offers a thoughtful examination of one of the most common—and least questioned—features of behavior analytic instruction.

ABOUT AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR The Avengers and their allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR April 27, 2018 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Directors: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo Writers: Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, Stan Lee Cast: Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man Chris Hemsworth as Thor Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow Don Cheadle as James Rhodes/War Machine Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa/Black Panther Zoe Saldaña as Gamora Karen Gillan as Nebula Tom Hiddleston as Loki Paul Bettany as Vision Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Falcon Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS So, they get right to it. Bad boy Thanos gets an infinity stone, the Power Stone. His play is to get all six Infinity Stones and wipe out half of all life in the universe. His first stop is the ship carrying the surviving people of Asgard. Thanos easily overwhelms the remaining Asgardians, beats up Hulk, and steals the Space Stone from Loki's Tesseract. He then kills Loki. Thanos then destroys the ship and continues his hunt. Edris Elba helps make sure that Hulk returns to earth, where he crashes through the New York Sanctum. Back as Bruce, He warns Doctor Stephen Strange and Wong that Thanos is coming. Tony Stark joins the conversation. Before he can call Steve Rogers to get the band back together, they attack the city to claim the Time Stone from Strange. Spider-Man is pulled into the chaos, and after they captures Strange aboard his spaceship, Stark and Peter Parker secretly hitch a ride into space to rescue him while Wong remains behind to defend the Sanctum. Meanwhile, the Guardians of the Galaxy answer a distress signal and save Thor floating in space. They agree they need to work together to stop Thanos. But they're too late. Thanos already possesses the Reality Stone and uses its power to manipulate everything around them. He captures Gamora after learning she knows the location of the Soul Stone. Desperate to save her adopted sister Nebula from torture, Gamora tells him where the stone is . When they get there, the keeper of the Soul Stone, one Red Skull, reveals the price required to obtain it: the sacrifice of someone truly loved. In one of the film's most tragic moments, Thanos throws Gamora to her death, earning the Soul Stone. Vision and Wanda are ambushed in Scotland by Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive, who attempt to rip the Mind Stone from Vision's forehead. Captain America, Black Widow, and Falcon arrive just in time to save them, bringing the wounded Vision back to the Avengers Compound. Vision urges Wanda to destroy the Mind Stone and kill him if necessary to stop Thanos, but she cannot bring herself to do it. Instead, the team heads to Wakanda, believing Shuri may be able to safely remove the stone without sacrificing Vision's life. Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Doctor Strange end up on Titan and come face to face with Star-Lord, Drax, and Mantis and they realize they're in the same team. Using the Time Stone, Strange studies millions of possible futures and discovers only one path where they succeed. Together they execute an elaborate plan to restrain Thanos and remove the Infinity Gauntlet. For a moment, it almost works—until Nebula reveals that Gamora is dead. Overcome with grief and rage, Star-Lord attacks Thanos, ruining the team's hold on him. Thanos breaks free, defeats everyone, and nearly kills Iron Man. To save Tony's life, Doctor Strange willingly surrenders the Time Stone, despite knowing how dangerous it is. In Wakanda, the Avengers prepare for an all-out invasion from Thanos's army. Bruce Banner, unable to transform into Hulk, enters battle wearing the Hulkbuster armor. The tide finally turns when Thor arrives in spectacular fashion alongside Rocket and Groot, tearing through Thanos's army with his fresh new hammer/ax combo, Stormbreaker. Despite their efforts, Thanos himself eventually reaches Vision. Wanda heartbreakingly destroys the Mind Stone—and Vision with it—just before Thanos can claim it. But using the Time Stone, Thanos reverses time, restores Vision briefly to life, and violently tears the stone from his forehead, killing him again. With all six Infinity Stones finally united, the Infinity Gauntlet is complete. Thor attacks and buries Stormbreaker deep into Thanos's chest, but Thanos coldly tells him he “should have gone for the head.” He snaps his fingers and vanishes. Across the universe, half of all life immediately turns to dust. Bucky Barnes, Black Panther, Groot, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Star-Lord, Drax, and Mantis all fade away. On Earth, Nick Fury manages to send a desperate signal from a mysterious pager moments before he too disappears. The survivors are left shattered and defeated. Tony Stark and Nebula are stranded on Titan. The remaining Avengers stand in stunned silence in Wakanda. And somewhere far away, Thanos sits alone on a quiet planet, watching the sunrise over a universe he believes he has finally “saved.” Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?
