Self-confidence is built in the moments no one applauds, the awkward missteps and quiet choices that shape how girls learn to trust themselves long before anyone is watching.   Leslie Randolph sits down with journalist and author Rin-rin Yu for a grounded conversation about where confidence actually comes from and why the ordinary moments of childhood matter more than the polished highlights. Drawing from Rin-rin's debut novel Goodbye French Fry, they talk about bullying, belonging, embarrassment, and the internal shift that happens when a girl realizes she can handle hard things. What changes when confidence grows from self-trust instead of approval? How do everyday experiences quietly shape a girl's sense of who she is?   The conversation also explores identity, representation, and the pressure to fit in during the tween years. Rin-rin reflects on growing up without seeing herself in books and why normal stories deserve just as much space as extraordinary ones. Leslie connects these ideas to her work with teens and parents, offering a clear reminder that confidence is learned through experience, reflection, and support rather than perfection.   This episode invites parents to slow down and notice the small wins that rarely make headlines. What moments are shaping your daughter right now? And how might honoring the ordinary help her build confidence that lasts?

Why You Should Listen:  In this episode, you will discover how addressing parasites and dental issues can unlock better health and why real healing is rarely an Accidental Cure. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Simon Yu.  Simon Yu, MD combines internal medicine with integrative medicine at Prevention and Healing, Inc., in St. Louis, MO.  As an HMO regional medical director, he saw the limits of a medication-management approach to patients with complex chronic illness.  He studied integrative and biological medicine, took 300 hours of medical acupuncture training, and researched dental, fungal, and parasite problems.  He served as a medical officer in the U.S. Army Reserve for 25 years, retiring as a full colonel.  Dr. Yu lectures in the US and abroad. He offers Acupuncture Meridian Assessment (AMA) Training to help detect problems for doctors and dentists in St. Louis and in Germany.  He has an MD from the University of Missouri School of Medicine, has an MS in Immunology, is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine, a member of American College of Physicians, and is on the advisory board of the International College of Integrative Medicine.  Key Takeaways: Where does Artificial Intelligence fit in addressing complex, chronic illnesses? What are the more common patterns of meridian dysregulation observed? How are most parasites acquired? Are parasites always bad for the body? What are the more common medications used to address parasites? Does mold in the external environment impact parasite treatment or dental interventions? Are all parasites that impact health physical? How is the treatment of fungal issues approached? Should patients test their home for mold? What types of dental issues are most commonly impacting patients? How does testing for the DNA of oral pathogens inform treatment? What long-term oral hygiene strategies may be helpful? Are implants appropriate after an extraction? How has treating complex patients changed with COVID? Is spike protein detoxification now part of the healing approach? Do EMFs negatively impact health? Are conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Morgellons approached differently? What are some top detoxification strategies? Is "autoimmunity" the result of chronic infections? What is the best approach for optimizing the microbiome? What are some of the emerging treatment interventions from SOZO Brain Clinic?

In some years it feels easier to begin the new year with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. Other years, it can be difficult to get going and build up those new habits that we'd love to develop.Whichever kind of year this is shaping up to be for you, I have a few things planned these next few weeks to help make it a productive one.Today, I have a couple studies to share that look at a popular technique for getting started when your motivation isn't quite there.Then, Coworking Week begins Monday, where we'll have five days of drop-in coworking calls to clear distractions, get unstuck, and check things off your list (join here).And the week after that, I'll be opening the doors for the Winter Psych Essentials class, where through a month of group classes and gentle peer accountability, you'll learn how to accelerate your progress, and perform more confidently in 2026 with research-based techniques and exercises from performance science that you can apply to your daily practice (details here).But for now, let's take a look at a strategy that could make it easier to start (and finish) tasks, whether that be practicing, studying, or doing the laundry:When You Can't Get Yourself to Start Practicing, Try ThisReferencesAra, Z., Rahim, I.

TEENAGE ZEALOTS AND THE TRAUMA OF VIOLENCE Colleague Tanya Branigan. Branigan details the memories of Yu Xiangzhen, a former Red Guard who attended Mao's first mass rally in August 1966. Mao encouraged youth to destroy "the four olds," sparking widespread violence against cultural artifacts and people. While traveling the country to spread revolution, Yu witnessed a sports court filled with corpses beaten to death by Red Guards, a memory that remains visceral. Despite such horror, some recall the era with nostalgia, remembering the freedom of free train travel and the intoxication of holding authority over adults during a break from strict social discipline.

Drs. Yu and Herzberg discuss recent developments in HER2- and EGFR-targeted therapies for lung cancer, focusing on clinical trial results at ESMO 2025. Key highlights include promising response rates, toxicity profiles, and the potential for these targeted therapies to treat patients with specific genetic mutations, particularly those with CNS metastases.

Drs. Herzberg and Yu continue their discussion on emerging clinical data presented at ESMO and WCLC 2025. They highlight recent advancements in HER2-targeted therapies for NSCLC and review new HER2-targeted therapies, international study results, and the promise of evolving targeted approaches for HER2-altered lung cancer.

Drs. Herzberg and Yu explore emerging clinical data from the 2025 meetings of the European Society For Medical Oncology (ESMO) and World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC), highlighting recent advancements in HER2-targeted therapies for NSCLC. Their discussion focuses on new drugs (eg, zongertinib and trastuzumab deruxtecan), their efficacy and safety profiles, and the potential for treating HER2 mutations and overexpression.

China's efforts to scale up effective investment, with a particular focus on encouraging private sector participation and increasing investment in human capital, will play a key role in boosting domestic demand next year, officials and experts said.政府工作人员和专家表示，中国扩大有效投资的举措，特别是鼓励民营企业参与和增加人力资本投资，将在明年提振内需方面发挥关键作用。The annual Central Economic Work Conference, held earlier this month, emphasized the need to "halt the decline in investment and promote its recovery" amid a complex external environment.本月早些时候召开的年度中央经济工作会议强调，在复杂的外部环境下，必须“遏制投资下滑趋势，促进投资回升”。The government needs to effectively drive investment by making good use of funding sources such as central government budget investments, ultra-long-term special treasury bonds and local government special bonds, Xinhua News Agency quoted an official of the Office of the Central Commission for Financial and Economic Affairs as saying.新华社援引中央财经委员会办公室一位政府工作人员的话称，政府需要有效利用中央财政预算投资、超长期国债和地方政府专项债券等资金来源，有效引导投资。"The government will support private firms' participation in major projects in sectors such as railways and nuclear power, and guide private investment toward new fields such as high-tech industries and the service sector," the official said.该工作人员表示：“政府将支持民营企业参与铁路、核电等领域的大型项目，引导民营资本投向高新技术产业、服务业等新兴领域。”The official added that major projects set for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period could be front-loaded where conditions permit.该工作人员补充说道，在条件允许的情况下，原定于第十五个五年计划（2026-2030年）期间实施的重大项目可提前启动。China's fixed-asset investment fell 2.6 percent year-on-year in the first 11 months of the year, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.国家统计局数据显示，今年前11个月，中国固定资产投资同比下降2.6%。China has rolled out a series of targeted policies over the past year, including an 800 billion yuan ($113.8 billion) list of key projects to implement major national strategies and strengthen security capacity in key areas, and 500 billion yuan in new policy-based financial tools to supplement project capital.过去一年，中国推出了一系列定向政策，包括8000亿元（1138亿美元）重点项目清单，以落实重大国家战略、强化重点领域安全保障能力，以及5000亿元新增政策性金融工具，用于补充项目资本金。The economic agenda-setting meeting also called for greater investment in physical assets and human capital.经济议程设定会议还呼吁加大对实物资产和人力资本的投资力度。From the country's sprawling highway networks and bullet trains to its forest of urban high-rises, investment in physical assets played a crucial role in its economic growth over the past decades, said Yu Chunhai, executive dean of Renmin University of China's School of Economics.中国人民大学经济学院执行院长于春海指出，从遍布全国的高速公路网络和高铁系统，到城市摩天大楼林立的景象，过去数十年来，实物资产投资在推动中国经济增长方面发挥了关键作用。However, Yu noted that the country'sincremental capital output ratio, which indicates the amount of capital required for every 1 yuan increase in GDP, increased from 2.84 in 2008 to 9.44 in 2023.然而，于春海指出，中国的边际资本产出比（即每增加1元GDP所需投入的资本量）从2008年的2.84上升至2023年的9.44。Meanwhile, facing diminishing returns from the old growth model and a global shift toward talent-centric competition, China is placing a strategic bet on investing in people, analysts said.与此同时，面对传统增长模式回报递减以及全球向人才竞争格局转变的趋势，中国正将战略重心转向人才投资，分析师指出。Investment in human capital refers to inputs that develop people's capabilities and unlock their potential at all stages of life, including childcare, elderly care, health, education and skills training.人力资本投资指在人生各个阶段提升个人能力、释放潜能的投入，包括儿童保育、老年护理、健康保障、教育培养及技能培训。An aging population and rising labor costs are eroding the traditional demographic advantage. By prioritizing investment in human capital, China seeks to build long-term economic competitiveness for innovation-driven, demand-led growth, said Chen Wenling, former chief economist at the China Center for International Economic Exchanges.中国国际经济交流中心前首席经济学家陈文玲指出，老龄化人口和不断上升的劳动力成本正在侵蚀传统的人口红利优势。通过优先投资人力资本，中国致力于构建长期经济竞争力，推动创新驱动、需求引领的增长模式。"A healthier, better-educated and more secure workforce is the most critical infrastructure for the next stage of China's development," Chen said. "Sustained investment in people's capabilities, health and career development doesn't just improve well-being—it directly fuels economic upgrading."陈文玲表示：“更健康、受教育程度更高、更有保障的劳动力队伍，是中国下一阶段发展最关键的基础设施。持续投资于人民的能力、健康和职业发展，不仅能提升福祉，更能直接推动经济升级。”Meanwhile, analysts believe that investing in people could also help unlock the spending power of China's massive population, creating a virtuous cycle in which social investment fuels consumption resilience.与此同时，分析人士认为，投资于人力资本也有助于释放中国庞大人口的消费潜力，从而形成良性循环，社会投资推动消费韧性增强。The enhanced investments in pensions, childcare and healthcare are designed to alleviate theprecautionary savings burdens that constrain household spending, said Luo Zhiheng, chief economist and head of the research institute at Yuekai Securities.粤开证券首席经济学家兼研究院院长罗志恒表示，加大养老、育儿和医疗领域的投资力度，旨在缓解制约家庭支出的预防性储蓄负担。"This approach transforms social spending into a powerful economic driver. A more secure population is likely to spend more freely," Luo said. "The direction aligns with China's broader economic objectives of rebalancing growth toward high-quality domestic demand."罗志恒表示：“这种做法将社会支出转化为强有力的经济驱动力。生活更有保障的人群往往更愿意消费。该方向与中国更广泛的经济目标相契合，即推动经济增长向高质量的内需转型。”incrementaladj./ˌɪŋ.krəˈmen.t̬əl/递增的precautionaryadj./prɪˈkɑː.ʃən.er.i/预防性的

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 73-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 28,384 on turnover of $4.9-billion N-T. Analysts say with foreign institutional investors absent, major local investors seized the opportunity to control the session by buying TSMC, after a U.S. tech rally. TSMC's gains offset losses suffered by other tech heavyweights. And when many large-cap tech stocks trade in weakness, local investors parked their money in smaller tech stocks. Taipei Public Asked Not to Leave Food and Drinks at Attack Memorial Space Taipei Metro is asking the public not to leave food or drinks at a memorial space for victims of a random knife attack last week. The memorial located at Taipei Main Station Exit M7 honors 57-year-old Yu Jia-chang, who was killed on December 19th while attempting to stop the attacker. Transit officials say the hallway near the exit is narrow and they are asking that visitors only leave flower bouquets. Workers will inspect the site daily and remove any food, drinks, or inappropriate (不當) messages after the station closes each night. Taipei Metro also says says it plans to build a permanent monument to recognize Yu's bravery. The Taoyuan City Government also announced it will honor Yu by enshrining him in the Taoyuan Martyrs' Shrine. (NS) 5 undersea cables planned to boost communications resilience: Minister The Minister of Digital Affairs says Taiwan will add two international and three domestic undersea communications cables as part of its efforts to strengthen communications resilience. Minister Lin Yi-jing says the new undersea cables will be hardened with an "armor-like" protective layer, so they will not be easily damaged. According to Lin, the planned undersea cables are part of the ministry's "three-dimensional defensive communications network" initiative, which aims to strengthen Taiwan's communication from land, air and sea. The MInister says the initiative also includes the addition of an Amazon low-earth-orbit satellite constellation and the inauguration of a high-orbit geosynchronous (地球同步) satellite being built by American manufacturer Astranis.

Supreme Court blocks Chicago National Guard deployment The US Supreme Court has issued a preliminary ruling blocking the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops to Chicago. The decision is a rare setback for the administration from the conservative-leaning court, which has largely sided with President Trump so far in testing the limits (試探底線) of executive power. Ira Spitzer reports. Egypt Musem Begins Reassembling Phraoah's Boat The Grand Egyptian Museum has begun reassembling (重新組裝) a boat belonging to Pharaoh Khufu in its exhibition hall. The cedarwood vessel, one of two found with King Khufu, started coming together on Tuesday as visitors watched. The project is expected to take around four years, according to the museum. King Khufu ruled over 4,500 years ago and built the Great Pyramid of Giza. The museum, located near Cairo, houses nearly 50-thousand artifacts. Experts believe the boats were used for Khufu's funeral or his afterlife journey. That was the I.C.R.T.

Two Giants, One Vision: The Legacy of Rav Aharon Lichtenstein and Rav Yehuda Amital, by Rabbi Michael Rosensweig Our overseas talmidim were zocheh to Rabbi Rosensweig, '73,  telling them about his time at Gush with stories of Rav Lichtenstein zt"l and Rav Amital zt"l. The shiur examines how Yeshivat Har Etzion benefited from two contrasting gedolim: Rav Amital's passionate decisiveness and transformative honesty, and Rav Lichtenstein's analytical depth and measured deliberation. Like Yaakov Avinu who synthesized Avraham and Yitzchak's qualities, these leaders offered diverse role models united by integrity and mutual respect. Their complementary approaches demonstrated that Torah leadership can embrace different styles while maintaining shared values and unwavering commitment to truth. Rabbi Rosensweig is a Rosh Yeshiva at RIETS of YU and the Rosh Kollel of the Beren Kollel Elyon.

Beneath the surface, Israel is fighting for the soul of its religion — and most of us don't even see the battle lines. In this episode of Madlik Disruptive Torah, Geoffrey Stern and Rabbi Adam Mintz are joined by Professor Adam S. Ferziger to explore the quiet revolution reshaping Israeli Judaism. Drawing on his new book, Agents of Change, Ferziger reveals how American Modern Orthodoxy—its values, institutions, and worldview—has profoundly influenced Religious Zionism and the broader Israeli religious landscape. From the tension between nationalism and modernity to the emergence of a new Israel-born generation, we uncover the cultural, political, and spiritual crossroads Israel now faces. Beneath the surface, Israel is fighting for the soul of its religion—and American Jews are playing a bigger role than anyone expected. Key Takeaways American Modern Orthodoxy Has Become a Quiet Force in Israeli Judaism Israeli Religious Zionism Is Splitting Into Two Distinct Paths Israel's Next Generation of Leaders Will Be Religious — But Neither Haredi or National Religious Timestamps [00:00:00] Jacob returns from exile with wealth, family, and a new identity; exile reframed as productive, not just punishment. [00:01:00] Intro to Professor Adam Ferziger and his book Agents of Change about American Jews reshaping Israeli Judaism. [00:02:00] Host sets the frame: modern Orthodoxy's influence on Israeli religious life, education, feminism, and LGBTQ inclusion. [00:03:00] Ferziger's personal story: gap year yeshiva, Aliyah in 1987, building family and rabbinic life in Kfar Saba. [00:04:54] Early political snapshot: the failed "Meimad" experiment and how Anglo moderates felt marginal and deviant. [00:06:36] Shift in the 2000s: religious-Zionist camp diversifies; modern Orthodox voices gain legitimacy and visibility.

[00:14:10] Rise of "Hardal": nationalist-Haredi style religiosity, stricter halakha, and a more redemptive, messianic Zionism. [00:21:45] The "agents of change": eight American rabbis/educators whose Israeli students indigenize and radicalize their ideas.

3/8 Red August and the Idealism of Teenage Red Guards — Tanya Branigan — Yu Zhangzhen, who became a Red Guard at age thirteen, recalls "Red August" 1966, when Mao Zedong summoned millions of young people to massive rallies, explicitly endorsing the movement and exhorting them to destroy the "four olds." Despite witnessing horrific violence, including corpse-filled athletic fields, Yu maintained genuine ideological commitment to the revolutionary cause. For many participants, the CR represented a liberating experience, offering unprecedented personal autonomy, free nationwide travel privileges, and intoxicating liberation from parental and institutional discipline. 1966

Ever study hard and still wonder why it feels empty? We dive into academic yarigai—the lived, situational meaning that makes learning feel worth doing—and map out nine practical factors that turn study from grind to growth. With Dr. Yu Kanazawa, associate professor at Osaka University, we explore how a refined approach, adapted from the Ikigai-9 scale, unites engagement, curiosity, flow, social contribution, and purpose into a single, usable framework.We walk through each factor—intrinsic fulfillment, curiosity and intellectual stimulation, personal growth, social contribution, engagement and flow, recognition and appreciation, overcoming challenges, real-world relevance, and a sense of purpose—and show how they interact. Rather than treating motivation as fuel you either have or lack, we focus on lived qualities you can cultivate from different starting points. Maybe you're not enjoying a subject yet, but you see its social value; maybe you love the topic but haven't tied it to real problems. Each factor is a gate into meaningful study, and you only need one to begin.Yu shares insights from his study with Japanese undergraduates and explains cultural nuances like utori—mental space that makes flow possible—and how cramming cultures can crowd out deep engagement. We also unpack why recognition is more than reward; it signals that your work matters to others, which stabilizes effort. For teachers, coaches, and learners, the nine-item scale becomes a reflective tool to diagnose strengths, spot thin areas, diversify sources of meaning, and reduce burnout. Language learning shines as a case study, linking curiosity, connection, and real-world use in a way that naturally builds yarigai.If you're ready to trade blunt motivation hacks for a humane, research-backed path to purposeful learning, this conversation offers a clear map you can use today. Subscribe, share with someone who needs a study reset, and leave a review telling us which “gate” you'll try first.

China is likely to extend the consumer goods trade-in program into 2026, as analysts said there is still substantial, unmet demand among Chinese households to upgrade home appliances and digital devices, as well as ample fiscal headroom to underpin the consumption campaign.分析人士表示，由于中国家庭对家电和数码设备升级的需求仍有较大缺口，且有充足的财政空间支持这项消费刺激举措，中国可能会将消费品以旧换新政策延续至2026年。The initiative, proven effective in driving big-ticket item spending and delivering tangible benefits to households, is expected to enable China to begin the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period on a sound footing, they added.他们补充称，该举措已被证实能有效拉动大额商品消费，并为家庭带来切实利益，有望助力中国在“十五”规划（2026-2030年）开局之年奠定良好基础。China's trade-in program is a government-backed initiative to boost domestic consumption by providing subsidies for consumers who trade in outdated items like white goods, automobiles and electronics for new, more efficient models.中国的以旧换新政策是一项政府支持的举措，通过为消费者提供补贴，鼓励其将家电、汽车和电子产品等老旧物品置换为新型、高效的产品，从而提振国内消费。Although an official announcement has not yet been made, multiple policy signals and clear market trends — particularly the shift toward smart and green products — suggest an extension is possible.尽管官方尚未发布正式通知，但多项政策信号和明确的市场趋势——尤其是向智能、绿色产品的转型——表明该政策有望延续。This likelihood was reinforced by the State Council, the country's Cabinet, which set explicit targets for aging vehicles and outdated appliance recycling volume through 2027 in a March 2024 document that launched the current trade-in round.2024年3月，国务院（中国内阁）发布文件启动本轮以旧换新工作，并明确设定了截至2027年的老旧车辆和废旧家电回收量目标，这进一步强化了政策延续的可能性。In addition, the 2024 Government Work Report pledged to issue ultra-long special treasury bonds "over each of the next several years". These bonds have served as the funding mechanism of the trade-in initiative.此外，2024年《政府工作报告》承诺“在今后几年每年”发行超长期特别国债。这些债券已成为以旧换新举措的资金保障机制。These policy statements, coupled with Beijing's emphasis on boosting household consumption in its recommendations for the next five-year blueprint released last month, indicate that policymakers are likely to extend the trade-in program into 2026, according to market watchers.市场观察人士指出，这些政策表述，加之北京上月发布的下一个五年规划建议中对扩大居民消费的重视，表明政策制定者可能会将以旧换新政策延续至2026年。Wang Wei, former director of the Institute of Market Economy at the Development Research Center of the State Council, told China Daily in an exclusive interview that while stimulating consumption has been top economic priority this year, it will also remain crucial in 2026 — the inaugural year of the 15th Five-Year Plan.国务院发展研究中心市场经济研究所前所长王微在接受《中国日报》独家采访时表示，尽管刺激消费是今年的首要经济任务，但在2026年——“十五”规划的开局之年，这一任务仍将至关重要。Maintaining a pro-consumption macroeconomic orientation is essential, which requires a further scaling-up of targeted fiscal spending in this regard, Wang said, adding that the mechanism of ultra-long special treasury bonds, deployed for the trade-in program in 2024 and 2025, should be extended into next year.王微称，保持有利于消费的宏观经济导向至关重要，这需要进一步加大相关定向财政支出力度。2024年和2025年用于以旧换新政策的超长期特别国债机制，应延续至明年。Yu Xiangrong, chief China economist at Citi, said that the funding pool for the trade-in program in 2026 is expected to remain at around 300 billion yuan ($41.3 billion), unchanged from the levels seen in 2025.花旗集团首席中国经济学家余向荣表示，2026年以旧换新政策的资金规模预计将维持在3000亿元人民币（约合413亿美元）左右，与2025年持平。Yu said the policy emphasis will shift from sheer scale to smarter allocation by expanding the range of eligible products and extending the program's reach into rural communities.余向荣指出，政策重心将从单纯追求规模转向更合理的资源配置，具体包括扩大补贴覆盖产品范围，并将政策推广至农村地区。A faster-than-expected issuance of national subsidies for consumer goods trade-ins in the first half of the year has tightened availability in recent months, leaving a pool of unmet demand that analysts say will help make the case for extending the program into 2026.今年上半年，消费品以旧换新国家补贴的发放速度超出预期，导致近几个月补贴额度紧张，市场上仍存在一批未得到满足的需求。分析人士认为，这将为政策延续至2026年提供有力支撑。Looking into next year, Xu Dongsheng, vice-chairman of the China Household Electrical Appliances Association, said that policymakers could consider setting differentiated incentive rates based on a product's price bracket and technological profile.展望明年，中国家用电器协会副理事长徐东升表示，政策制定者可考虑根据产品的价格区间和技术特性，设定差异化的补贴比例。Premium products, particularly those with AI integration, higher-efficiency and environmentally friendly features, could receive a higher subsidy proportion. These categories, seen as drivers of future industry trends, align with national priorities for technological advancement and carbon neutrality. Meanwhile subsidies for basic, functionally straightforward products would be scaled back appropriately, Xu said.徐东升称，高端产品，尤其是集成人工智能、能效更高且具备环保特性的产品，可能会获得更高比例的补贴。这些品类被视为未来产业发展趋势的驱动力，与国家技术进步和碳中和的核心目标相契合。同时，针对基础款、功能简单产品的补贴将适当缩减。According to an executive meeting of the State Council on Friday, industrial upgrading must be guided and propelled by consumption upgrading, where high-quality supply better satisfies diverse demand.国务院周五召开的常务会议指出，必须以消费升级引领和推动产业升级，通过高质量供给更好满足多样化需求。It is essential to deploy new technologies and business models, deeply integrate AI to enhance their capabilities, and concentrate efforts on key sectors to introduce novel products and value-added services, thereby expanding new consumption frontiers, as noted during the meeting.会议强调，要运用新技术、新模式，深度融合人工智能提升产品和服务能力，聚焦重点领域推出新产品和增值服务，拓展新消费空间。trade-in program以旧换新政策ultra-long special treasury bonds超长期特别国债fiscal spending财政支出big-ticket item spending大额商品消费white goods白色家电（特指冰箱、洗衣机等大型家电，政策补贴品类）

Few beauty executives currently compete in a category they created, but that's the case for Dr. Julie Chung and Kent Yu, the married co-founders behind T3 hair tools (19:00).  The duo created the luxury hair tool category back in 2004 when they launched T3 with the first lightweight, sleek and quiet blowdryer that delivered smoother, faster results. T3's Featherweight model was the first luxury dryer on the market and the most expensive at the time, priced at $200. Dr. Chung and Yu quickly found a consumer, and before long, T3 was the first hair tool sold in stores like Sephora.  Fast forward 21 years, and they still own and operate 100% of their Los Angeles-based business. The success of T3 created a runway for a category now filled with brands like Dyson and Shark Beauty.  So what is it like to compete in a category you created? Host Lexy Lebsack sat down with Dr. Chung and Yu to learn about their journey to becoming beauty founders, including making time for Dr. Chung's first career as an eye doctor. They also discuss how they're navigating their biggest challenges, balancing retail and DTC, maintaining NPD standards in a faster-is-better world, and competing within the category.  But first, Lebsack is joined by co-host Emily Jensen to break down the news of the week. This includes the controversial launch of Rini, a line of skin-care products made for kids aged 2-12 and sold DTC. The line was launched earlier this month by actress Shay Mitchell, boyfriend Matte Babel and Esther Song, and received immediate backlash.  Lebsack and Jensen also discuss the launch of Dua by AB, a diffusion line from skin-care founder Augustinus Bader and fronted by singer Dua Lipa. Unfortunately, diffusion lines — defined as secondary, lower-priced product lines from a higher-end brand — rarely find success in the beauty industry. Finally, the duo discusses L'Oréal Group's new investment in Chinese mass clean beauty brand Lan and Estée Lauder Companies' investment in Mexican niche fragrance brand Xinú.

Charles Yu has written a lot about the nature of reality, how we understand what is real, and the assumptions we make about each other and the universe we live in. Yu’s first novel, “How to live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe,” follows a time machine repairman who is searching for his father who is lost in time and memory. His latest book, National Book Award winning “Interior Chinatown,” takes place in a Chinese restaurant that’s also the set for a police procedural TV show and a sendup of stereotypes of Asian American characters. Yu spoke to us on February 29, 2024 in front of an audience of students from Ida B. Wells High School.

NASA Physicist Dr Weiping Yu joins David Gornoski to discuss Uon theory and answer questions challenging it. Among the topics Dr Yu tackle are standard model particle collision, quantum superposition, dark matter, inverse-square law, chemistry, consciousness, and more. Follow Dr Weiping Yu on X here.

In this episode, Nichole sits down with Dr. Robert Yu, a holistic-minded periodontist based in St. Petersburg, Florida, to explore how pregnancy, postpartum, and the seasons of motherhood can impact your teeth, gums, and overall oral health.Dr. Yu was the surgeon behind Nichole's year-long dental healing journey — removing old root canals, clearing infections, rebuilding bone with grafts and a sinus lift, and placing a ceramic dental implant. Together, they dive into the often-overlooked connection between motherhood, hormones, nutrient depletion, bone health, and gum disease — and what every woman should know about supporting her mouth and body through each stage of life.This conversation bridges holistic dentistry and conventional periodontal care, offering education, empowerment, and real-life insight for women who want to approach dental health from a whole-body perspective.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow pregnancy and postpartum nutrient depletion affect bone and gum healthThe link between periodontal disease and pregnancy outcomes like preterm or low-birth-weight babiesWhy many OB-GYNs and midwives don't emphasize gum exams — and why they shouldThe difference between traditional titanium implants and metal-free ceramic (zirconia) implantsThe mouth–body connection: how oral bacteria can influence heart health, inflammation, and systemic diseaseDr. Yu's preferred vitamin and mineral support for jawbone healing (vitamin D, calcium, potassium, and Metagenics Bone BuilderWhy informed consent matters in dentistry — and how to advocate for yourself as a patientThe truth about bone graft materials (human, animal, and synthetic) and how to make an informed choiceDr. Yu's thoughts on light therapy, microcirculation, and energy-based healing for post-surgical recoveryThe power of collaboration between dentists, functional medicine doctors, and holistic providersPregnancy and breastfeeding can deplete minerals and weaken bone structure, including the jawbone.Healthy gums support a healthy pregnancy — untreated gum disease has been linked to preterm birth.A gum exam (periodontal exam) is just as important as a dental cleaning for expecting or new moms.Bone and gum health are influenced by vitamin D, calcium, and hormonal shifts.Holistic dentistry bridges prevention and science, empowering women to make choices that align with both intuition and evidence.

An Indigenous anthropologist is embarking on a years-long process to document how Alaska Native hunters are changing their hunting patterns in the face of climate change. To complicate things, the war in Ukraine is preventing Native researchers from sharing information with their counterparts in Russia, which plays a role in the overall health of walrus herds. In addition to food and other uses, walrus ivory is a significant part of a traditional Native artform. We'll talk with Indigenous people who have a stake in Pacific walruses and are working to protect them. GUESTS Vera Metcalf (Yu'pik), director of the Eskimo Walrus Commission Eduard Kergytagyn Zdor (Chukchi), cultural anthropologist and postdoctoral fellow at the University of Alaska's Arctic Leadership Initiative Leon Misak Kinneeveauk (Iñupiaq), artist and director of the Alaska Art Alliance

Fetishized is a memoir-in-essays by Kaila Yu--a former pin-up model and lead singer of the all-Asian American female rock band Nylon Pink. The book delves into her personal journey as she confronts--and unpacks--the complexities of being both the object and agent of fetishization in a media landscape shaped by stereotypes and colonial mindsets. Her memoir interrogates harmful portrayals--from geishas in Memoirs of a Geisha, to the Austin Powers twins in Goldmember, to the character in Full Metal Jacket, and even pin-up iconography figures like Sung-Hi Lee. These archetypes--and the lack of diverse Asian representation--led Yu to internalize the painful belief that sexualizing herself was her only path to perceived value or desirability. Ultimately, Fetishized is a path toward self-reclamation. It's an unflinching look at the violence of objectification, balanced with deep empathy for the fractured relationships we might have with beauty, desire, and our own bodies.
