'Czstatue' token's pump and dump. A statue of Changpeng “CZ” Zhao in Washington, D.C. became the center of a memecoin frenzy after the “czstatue” token surged 27,000% in a day before collapsing. Zhao said he doesn't appreciate being used for profit, telling followers “don't buy the meme.” CoinDesk's Jennifer Sanasie hosts "CoinDesk Daily." - Break the cycle of exploitation.

See what Portland media won't show you. Victoria Taft breaks down the so-called “cleanup” of Antifa's encampment—a carefully timed stunt ahead of a key Ninth Circuit decision. You'll watch how police literally negotiate with Antifa while harassing ordinary citizens just trying to drive home.You'll also hear about the government shutdown and how Democrats are using working families, air traffic safety, and food stamps as political leverage.Then, Victoria speaks with Yukong "Mike" Zhao from Chinese Americans for the Constitution. He shares his firsthand story of escaping communist China, facing harassment in California, and fighting back against Gavin Newsom's radical Prop 50 power grab.#antifa, #portland, #governmentshutdown, #victoria_taft, #mikezhou, #communism,#free_speech, #lawandorder, #pjmedia, #anarchists

De voorspellingenmarkt Polymarket komt met een eigen cryptomunt. Het platform, waar gebruikers kunnen inzetten op de uitkomst van allerlei gebeurtenissen, beloont vaste spelers met een airdrop van de nieuwe token. Daarmee krijgen gebruikers die al langer actief zijn de eerste exemplaren in handen. De lancering past in een bredere trend: steeds meer cryptobedrijven introduceren een eigen munt om hun ecosysteem te versterken of gebruikers te binden. Met de token van Polymarket krijgen deelnemers straks meer mogelijkheden binnen het platform, bijvoorbeeld om te stemmen over toekomstige ontwikkelingen of extra functies te ontgrendelen. Polymarket zelf groeide de afgelopen jaren uit tot een van de bekendste platforms voor zogeheten voorspellingsmarkten. Dat zijn markten waarop mensen geld inzetten op de uitkomst van politieke verkiezingen, sportwedstrijden of andere gebeurtenissen. De populariteit van Polymarket is opvallend, want het bedrijf kende een hobbelige start. Strenge regelgeving in de Verenigde Staten zorgde er eerder voor dat delen van het aanbod tijdelijk moesten worden beperkt. Inmiddels lijkt het platform zijn plek te hebben gevonden. De vraag is hoe groot de mogelijkheden nog zijn, nu ook andere spelers vergelijkbare markten ontwikkelen. Op Polymarket kan momenteel ook worden ingezet op de uitslag van de Nederlandse verkiezingen. Dergelijke markten bieden een alternatieve manier om politieke trends te volgen, al blijft het voor de meeste deelnemers vooral een financiële gok. Verder in deze aflevering bespreekt Bert Slagter de koersontwikkeling van Bitcoin. Na een periode van schommelingen herstelde de prijs afgelopen weekend. In zijn analyse wijst hij op de voortdurende strijd om de grens van 100.000 dollar, die nog altijd niet is beslist. De rust die lijkt te zijn teruggekeerd op macro-economisch vlak, mede door de toenadering tussen de Verenigde Staten en China, kan de markt voorlopig wat stabiliteit geven. Tot slot het opvallende nieuws dat Donald Trump gratie heeft verleend aan Changpeng Zhao, de oprichter van Binance. Zhao werd in 2024 veroordeeld omdat zijn beurs onvoldoende zou hebben gedaan om witwassen tegen te gaan. Met de gratie wil Trump naar eigen zeggen een einde maken aan de “war on crypto”. Wat dat precies betekent voor Binance, en of ook andere veroordeelden zoals Sam Bankman-Fried kunnen rekenen op clementie, blijft vooralsnog onduidelijk.

Well, here we are. Chloe Zhao's Hamnet - one of the most critically acclaimed movies of the year - premiered at the BFI London Film Festival two weeks ago. Since it's premiere at Telluride back in late August, this movie has been billed as a locked-in OSCAR contender and potentially one of the biggest threats to WIN Best Picture. Reviews like that always get on my nerves because it's classic film festival overhype. You watch a movie surrounded by all the cast & crew and thousands of like-minded movie fans and, inevitably, the hype is going to be through the roof. All that being said, I watched this movie at a film festival as well... so I'll be telling you all today whether the hype was real. I've been a little nervous going into Hamnet because, while the trailers have excited me and the reviews were certainly promising, I am neither a Chloe Zhao guy or a Shakespeare guy. Zhao's movies have always felt cold to me and I truly believe that Nomadland is probably one of the worst Best Picture winners.... of all-time! But, I'm happy to report that Hamnet is the first time that I've truly been able to connect with one of her movies. Find out why in this review!Hmanet:Directed by: Chloé ZhaoScreenplay by: Chloé Zhao, Maggie O'FarrellBased on the novel "Hamnet" by Maggie O'FarrellProduced by: Liza Marshall, p.g.a., Pippa Harris, p.g.a, Nicolas Gonda, p.g.a., Steven Spielberg, p.g.a., Sam Mendes, p.g.a.Executive Producers: Laurie Borg, Kristie Macosko Krieger, Chloé ZhaoMusic by: Max RichterDirector of Photography: Lukasz ZalEdited by: Alfonso Gonçalves, Chloé ZhaoCasting by: Nina GoldProduction Design by: Fiona CrombieCostume Design by: Malgosia TurzanskaCast: Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal, Emily Watson, Joe Alwyn, Jacobi Jupe, David Wilmot, Bodhi Rae Breathnach, Olivia Lynes, Freya Hannan-Mills, Noah JupeSynopsis: The powerful story of love and loss that inspired the creation of Shakespeare's timeless masterpiece, Hamlet.

This week on the podcast, your two favorite comedians discuss… —Circumcision—Dax Shephard & Kristen Bell—American Farmers00:00 Introductions03:59 Circumcision10:42 Dax Shepherd & Kristen Bell15:05 Fanboys18:21 Donald Trump23:38 American Farmers32:40 Ace Frehley34:25 Super Bowl CircumcisionYears ago, Jake and nathan discovered that if you mention circumcision in passing, crazy, emotionally-stunted men crawl out of the woodwork to make hilarious comments, instead of getting therapy for their invented condition.It's always good for a laugh! Dax Shephard & Kristen BellKristen Bell posted an inside joke she shares with husband Dax Shepherd, and people as crazy as anti-circumcision men went crazy.Imagine having that much time on your hands; the things you could accomplish, if you put your mind to something productive, instead of breaking down in tears and openly weeping because you didn't like something.FanboysSpeaking of Kristen Bell, she was in Fanboys, a movie about a group of friends on a quest to see Star Wars, Episode One.Remember when everyone thought it was going to be good, and not one of the worst movies ever made? Ah, the innocence of ignorance. Donald TrumpDear Leader is pardoning criminals. George Santos got his sentence commuted, and Changpeng Zhao got a pardon. What did Zhao do?Eh, nothing serious. He just let pedos, and drug dealers, and human trafficking syndicates, and arms dealers use Binance to fund their illegal trades. You know, for profit. American FarmersThey can grow a crop like nobody's business, but they can't read a book, or remember what happened last time Trump was in office. Bankrupt?Oops!Guess tariffs do hurt the economy!Even better, now they're angry that Trump is gonna start importing beef from Argentina. You know, so he can help prop up that flailing, awful government. Ace Frehley Space Ace passed away, and the thing we all knew was going to happen, happened. Our lazy, less-than-intelligent media threw pictures of Tommy Thayer into the montages of Ace.Because of course they did.Super BowlOh, the crybabies just won't quit.Now they want George Strait to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show, and there's a petition online to make it happen.Narrator: it won't happen. By now, StreamYard or YouTube botched the audio, so we sign off with apologies. Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don't have to.Tune in and get your giggle on.Find Jake at @jakeveveraFind nathan at nathantimmel.comShow your support by picking up a T-Shirt: https://nathan-timmel.dashery.com/

We open with a sobering follow-up: the future is less about AI toast (though Red Dwarf predicted it) and more about a soul-stripping "infrastructure of meaningless" after an AWS outage proved how fragile the internet is. Corporate overlords, like Elon Musk, are taking note: he finally addressed Starlink's use by Asian scam syndicates, but his attention is mostly on superintelligence, which Wozniak, Prince Harry, and 800 others want banned. Meanwhile, Meta, despite pouring $27 billion into data centers, suddenly cut 600 AI jobs, and Amazon is preparing to automate a half-million warehouse positions, offering drivers AR spy glasses and suggesting a new "Help Me Decide" AI tool to automate the exhausting micro-decision of which air fryer to buy. This dystopian fever dream peaked when Suzanne Somers' widower revealed he built a full-on robotic AI twin of the late actress. Predictably, Tesla stock tumbled, and the crypto grift continued with the pardoning of Binance founder Zhao, leaving SBF to ponder his failed check-bounce in jail.Speaking of soul-crushing, Disney's latest nostalgia raid, Tron: Ares, tanked harder than anticipated, proving not every Gen-X intellectual property is a worthy cash cow. But fear not, there's still great TV to be had: we recommend the clever dramas Slow Horses and The Diplomat Season 3, the high-stakes culinary nightmare Knives Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars, and the surprisingly excellent Gen V (which you must watch before the next season of The Boys). We also got our fix with the Pluribus trailer, Bullet Train, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, and the deliciously low-stakes reality shows Come Dine With Me, Hotel Costiera, and The Celebrity Traitors UK/Canada. Sadly, we must mourn the end of Food Network's The Kitchen. Yet, no matter how good the show, you still have to deal with Ticketmaster, which is still lying about "fighting bots" while cornering the secondary market.In the world of Apps & Doodads, OpenAI dropped its "Anti-Web" browser, ChatGPT Atlas (a data mule in disguise), and a new app now fakes your vacation photos (perfect for burned-out users). X is poised to sell "rare" usernames for millions (with a terrible subscription catch), while some clever hacker figured out a $60 mod to disable the privacy light on Meta's Ray-Ban spy glasses. Fellow podcast host Dave Bittner joined us to agree that the new Hall of Presidents format is better without the political posturing and confirmed the joy of old-school, purple-ink-smelling Spirit Duplicators (and we checked out a Star Wars fan film trailer for the AT THE LIBRARY section). Don't forget your Tilly Hat! Finally, R.I.P. Soft Cell's musical force Dave Ball, aged 66; the hits still hit.Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

US President Donald Trump has issued a pardon for Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange. Zhao spent four months in prison last year after pleading guilty to charges of failing to implement adequate measures to prevent money laundering while operating the platform.

Mike Zhao, Chair of Chinese Americans for the Constitution (CAFC), discusses the threat Governor Gavin Newsom's redistricting plan poses to conservative representation in California. Newsom's Proposition 50 could eliminate five Republican congressional seats, directly undermining President Trump's agenda. Zhao and fellow leaders have mobilized patriotic Chinese Americans, many with firsthand experience under authoritarian regimes, to protect democracy, fight election rigging, and ensure conservative voices are heard in the Golden State.

The Frank and Jill Show 10-13-25: Greg Willard - Emily Zhao by

Episode 203: Microinduction and harm reduction in OUD.  Nathan Bui and Sanjay Reddy describe how to manage opioid use disorder (OUD) by using microinduction and harm reduction, strategies that are reshaping the way we treat opioid use disorder. Written by Sanjay Reddy, OMSIV and Nathan Bui, OMSIV.

This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.IntroWelcome to episode 203 of Rio Bravo qWeek, your weekly dose of knowledge.Today, we're tackling one of the biggest health challenges of our time: opioid use disorder, or OUD. Nearly every community in America has been touched by it: families, friends, even healthcare providers themselves. For decades, treatment has been surrounded by barriers, painful withdrawals, stigma, and strict rules that often do more harm than good. Too many people who need help never make it past those walls. But here's the hopeful part, new approaches are rewriting the story. They are less about rigid rules and more about meeting people where they are. Two of the most promising strategies for treatment of OUD are buprenorphine microinduction and harm reduction. Let's learn why these two connected strategies could change the future of addiction recovery. Background information of treatment: The X-waiver (short for DATA 2000 waiver) was a special DEA requirement for prescribing buprenorphine for opioid use disorder. Doctors used to take extra training (8 hours) and apply for it. Then, they could prescribe buprenorphine to a very limited number of patients. The X-waiverhelped regulate buprenorphine but also created barriers to access treatment to OUD. It was eliminated in January 2023 and now all clinicians with a standard DEA registration no longer need a waiver to prescribe buprenorphine for OUD. Why buprenorphine?Buprenorphine is one of the safest and most effective medications for opioid use disorder. It has some key attributes that make it both therapeutic and extremely safe: 1) As a partial agonist at mu-opioid receptors, it binds and provides enough partial stimulation to prevent cravings and withdrawal symptoms without producing strong euphoria associated with full agonists. 2) Because it has a strong binding affinity compared to full agonists, it easily displaces other opioids that may be occupying the receptor. 3) As an antagonist at kappa-opioid receptors, it contributes to improved mood and reduced stress-induced cravings. 4) The “ceiling effect”: increasing the dosage past a certain point does not produce a stronger opioid effect. This ceiling effect reduces the risk of respiratory depression and overdose, making it a safer option than full agonists. 5) It also had mild analgesic effects, reducing pain. 6) Long duration of action: The strong binding affinity and slow dissociation from the mu-opioid receptor are responsible for buprenorphine's long half-life of 24–60 hours. This prolonged action allows for once-daily dosing in medication-assisted treatment for OUD. Induction vs microinduction:The problem is, starting it—what's called “induction”—can be really tough. Patients usually need to stop opioids and go through a period of withdrawal first. Drugs like fentanyl, which can cause precipitated withdrawal —a sudden, severe crash may push people back to using opioids. Because buprenorphine binds so tightly to the mu-opioid receptor, it can displace other opioids, such as heroin or methadone. If buprenorphine is taken while a person still has other opioids in their system, it can trigger sudden and severe withdrawal symptoms.Opioid withdrawal sign sand symptoms:Opioid withdrawal symptoms are very uncomfortable; patients may even get aggressive during withdrawals. As a provider, once you meet one of these patients you never forget how uncomfortable and nasty they can be. The symptoms are lacrimation or rhinorrhea, piloerection "goose flesh," myalgia, diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, pupillary dilation, photophobia, insomnia, autonomic hyperactivity (tachypnea, hyperreflexia, tachycardia, sweating, hypertension, hyperthermia), and yawning. Think about all the symptoms you run for COWS (Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale). It is estimated 85 % of opioid-using patients who inject drugs (PWID) reported opioid withdrawal. Fortunately, even though opioid withdrawal is very uncomfortable, it is not life-threatening (unlike alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal, which can be fatal).Many patients who start the journey treating opioid use disorder experience “bumps in the road” --they avoid treatment or drop out early. What is Microinduction? Microinduction is a fairly new strategy started in Switzerland around 2016. It is also known as the “Bernese method” (named after the city of Bern, Switzerland). With this method, instead of stopping opioids cold turkey, patients start with tiny doses of buprenorphine—fractions of a milligram. These doses gradually increase over several days while the patient continues their regular opioid use. While they begin this titer, they can continue use of the full agonist they were previously using–methadone, fentanyl, or heroin, while the buprenorphine begins to take effect. Once the buprenorphine builds up to a therapeutic level, the full agonist is stopped. This method uses buprenorphine's unique pharmacology to stabilize the brain's opioid system without triggering those really nasty withdrawal symptoms.Early studies and case reports suggest this is safe, tolerable, and effective method to do. Microinduction is changing the game, and it has been spreading quickly in North America. Instead of forcing patients to stop opioids completely, the dose is slowly increased over the next three to seven days, while the patient keeps using their usual opioids.By the end of that week, the buprenorphine has built up to a therapeutic level and the full agonist is stopped. The difference is really dramatic. Instead of a painful crash into withdrawal, patients describe the process as a gentle step down, or a ramp instead of a cliff. It's a flexible method. It can be done in a hospital, a clinic, or even outpatient with good follow-up. Once a patient and doctor develop a strong relationship built on the principles of patient autonomy and patient-centered care, microinduction can be closely monitored on a monthly basis including televisits. Microinduction has been shown to help more patients stay in treatment. The Role of Harm Reduction Instead of demanding perfection, harm reduction focuses on best practices providers can implement to reduce risk and keep patients safe. Harm reduction can vary from providing naloxone to reverse overdoses, giving out clean syringes, or offering safer injection education. It also means allowing patients to stay in treatment even if they keep using other substances, and tailoring care for groups like adolescents, parents, or people recently released from incarceration. Harm reduction says that instead of demanding perfection, let's focus on progress. Instead of all-or-nothing, let's devote resources to keeping people alive and safe. As mentioned,an option is providing naloxone kits so overdoses can be reversed in the moment. Also, giving out clean syringes so the risk of HIV or hepatitis infection is reduced while injecting heroin. Another way to reduce harm is teaching safer injection practices so people can protect themselves until they're ready for that next step in their treatment. It also means keeping the doors open, even when patients slip. If someone is still using other substances, they still deserve care. And it means tailoring support for groups who oftentimes get left behind. For people like adolescents, parents balancing childcare, or people coming out of incarceration who are at the highest risk of overdose. Harm reduction recognizes that recovery isn't a straight line. It's about meeting people where they are and walking with them forward. Conclusion:Microinduction is itself a harm reduction strategy. It lowers barriers by removing the need for painful withdrawal.When paired with a harm reduction culture in clinics, patients are more likely to enter care, stay engaged, and build trust with doctors for continued care. Managing opioid use disorder is one of the greatest health challenges of our time. But solutions like buprenorphine microinduction and harm reduction strategies are reshaping treatment—making it safer, more humane, and more accessible. If we embrace these approaches, we can turn barriers into bridges and help more people find recovery. Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

It's Friday, September 12th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Chinese pastor dies after years of persecution After enduring years of persecution, Pastor Zhao Huaiguo, founder of Bethel Church in Hunan, China, has died, leaving behind a legacy of faith and resilience, reports International Christian Concern. In 2007, Pastor Zhao relocated to Hunan to establish Bethel Church, with a focus on serving elderly Christians and those who had previously avoided the Communist Party-sanctioned Three-Self Patriotic Movement churches. Since Bethel Church's founding, Pastor Zhao and his wife have faced relentless attacks. In 2019, authorities raided Bethel Church, confiscated Bibles, destroyed property, and pressured members to join the Three-Self movement. Then, in November 2024, Zhao and his wife were detained for 10 days for delivering unsanctioned online training. Pastor Zhao died in his early 50s. Revelation 2:10b says, “Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor's crown.” Former Brazilian President Bolsonaro sentenced to 27 years in prison On September 11th, a panel of the Brazilian Supreme Court sentenced former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro to 27 years in prison after convicting him of attempting to overthrow the government following his loss in the country's 2022 election, reports The Epoch Times. Prosecutors charged Bolsonaro with five counts, including an attempted coup, being part of an armed criminal organization, attempted violent abolition of democratic rule of law, damage characterized by violence, and a serious threat against the state's assets and deterioration of listed heritage. Bolsonaro has denied any involvement and said that he is the target of political persecution under the administration of his former competitor, Brazilian President Luiz Lula. Trump honors the power of prayer In the United States, President Donald Trump announced the “America Prays” initiative in preparation for the country's 250th birthday next year. The White House is asking if one million Americans can dedicate one hour a week to praying for the U.S. Listen to comments that President Trump gave this week at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. TRUMP: “So, America has always been a nation that believes in the power of prayer. And we will never apologize for our faith, ever, ever, never, never. We will never surrender our God-given rights. We will defend our liberties, our values, our sovereignty, and we will defend our freedom.” DHS to offer $110 million of security to Christian groups The Department of Homeland Security awarded $110 million in security grants to faith-based organizations last month. The move came just a week before the deadly mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A Senior Department of Homeland Security official said, “DHS is laser-focused on ensuring the safety of the American people. Instead of using grant money to fund climate change initiatives and political pet projects, we are using this money to protect American communities—especially places where people gather in prayer.” Charlie Kirk's assassin's cartridges contained ‘transgender” ideology Law enforcement have found a rifle near the Utah Valley University campus where conservative influencer Charlie Kirk was shot and killed on September 10th. The cartridges were all “engraved” with expressions of “transgender and anti-fascist ideology,” reports LifeSiteNews.com. On Thursday morning, Steven Crowder posted to X an exclusively obtained email from the American Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) which shared internal findings about the weapon used by Kirk's yet-unidentified assassin. The ATF message said, “The suspect fired one shot from an elevated position on a rooftop in an adjacent building on the campus and surveillance video shows the suspect jumping off and fleeing the area on foot.” Law enforcement, including ATF, “located an older model imported Mauser .30-06 caliber bolt action rifle wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near the campus,” in a location that “appears to match the suspect's route of travel. The spent cartridge was still chambered in addition to three unspent rounds at the top-fed magazine. All cartridges have engraved wording on them, expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology.” One person at the scene reported that when he was shot, Kirk had been speaking about “how many trans mass shooters there have been.” Appearing on Fox News, former FBI Agent Stuart Kaplan provided his analysis. KAPLAN: “This assassination was a very well planned, very well-orchestrated plot that was put in motion days before. This individual had a plan of escape, to elude detection of being out up on a rooftop, and also being able to evade and elude law enforcement after that shot was taken. This assassination of Charlie Kirk, to me, is indicative of a professional hit.” Charlie Kirk wanted to be remembered for his courage and faith On the Iced Coffee Hour podcast, Charlie Kirk was once asked a provocative question. HOST: “How do you want to be remembered?” KIRK: “If I die?” HOST: “Everything just goes away. How would you, if you could be associated with one thing, how would you want to be remembered?” KIRK: “I want to be remembered for, for courage for my faith. That would be the most important thing. Most important thing is my faith in my life.” How Charlie Kirk shared Christ with an atheist student Charlie Kirk, an evangelical Christian, spent most of his time on college campuses having dialogue with students with whom he disagreed.  As you can hear from this exchange, recorded some time ago, he did not hesitate to share Christ. STUDENT: “Are you a Christian by any chance?” KIRK: “Very, very much.” STUDENT: So, like, why is that exactly?” KIRK: “Oh, Jesus saved my life. I'm a sinner, gave my life to Christ, most important decision I ever made.” STUDENT:  “So, you believe the Bible is real?” KIRK: “Yes, I believe the Bible is true and real.” STUDENT:  “Why is that?” KIRK: “Well, I could give you the technical answer. There's never been an archeological discovery that has contradicted the truth of the Bible. And then, of course, the wisdom. There is not a truth of the Bible, that if you apply to your life, your life does not improve it dramatically. “And then finally, we have the most accurate and transparent, historically robust account that one can have, of the most important figure ever to live in the history of the world: Jesus of Nazareth. And the resurrection is the pinpoint of my belief that Jesus did rise from the grave so that we may live.” STUDENT:  “What makes Christian mythology real?” KIRK: “So, that's not mythology, but that is theology. If Genesis 1:1 and the resurrection is true, anything in the Bible is possible. You're looking at the greatest miracle. The greatest miracle is creation, and then the fact that Jesus rose from the dead. And I say, ‘How do you know that Jesus rose from the dead?' “Well, show me another historical piece of a story where so many people willingly died a brutal death for a lie. Every single person around Him had everything to lose, and yet they went to the absolute death, from Paul to Peter to James, saying that, ‘Jesus is Lord. Jesus rose from the dead.' “Not to mention, if you were gonna fake a story, you would not use female witnesses in the ancient world. In the Scriptures, it said that the women were the first ones to see Jesus Christ. If you're trying to fake a story, you would never do that.” 2 Thessalonians 3:1 was no doubt on the heart of Charlie Kirk as he shared his faith so publicly and so boldly. The Apostle Paul wrote, “Pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored.” Charlie Kirk urged young people to come to Christ In one of Charlie Kirk's final X posts this past Saturday, he wrote, "Jesus defeated death so you can live,” reports Fox News. Kirk was a significant figure who inspired millions of high school and college students not only to become engaged politically, but to consider the claims of Jesus Christ and live lives guided by faith. Turning Point has a branch focused purely on faith, called Turning Point Faith, "dedicated to empowering Christians to put their faith into action." Pastor Rob McCoy, who is founder of Godspeak Calvary Chapel and the co-chair of Turning Point Faith, said Charlie Kirk called him his pastor but that he prefers to be known as his “friend and greatest fan.” Pastor McCoy said, "Charlie never used violence but was threatened every day with violence by those who couldn't contend with logic and truth — and now they have done to my friend what evil always does. It takes away life." McCoy said, "Charlie did not die. Instead, he has begun to truly live. His life was secured eternally by his Savior, Jesus Christ. This truth allowed Charlie to face every threat with courage because he didn't fear death." Psalm 27:1 says, “The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?” McCoy added, "All evil knows is death, and they derive power from death. Charlie lived for life and will be remembered for this. My heart is broken for his family — his wife Erika and his two precious children. Evil has not prevailed, and it will not win." American conservative social media activist Robby Starbuck said “Charlie's greatest achievement is talking about God to young people during a time when too many were afraid to do that. The result has been a revival on college campuses all over the nation. It's our responsibility to carry on [Charlie's] work now."

Osteosarcoma Webinar Series: Yanding Zhao, PhD to discuss how Distinct patterns of chromosomal instability fuel osteosarcoma progression and influence patient outcomes.Osteosarcoma (OS) is notable for extreme chromosomal instability (CIN) and molecular heterogeneity, which have hindered therapeutic progress. To address this, the lab performed longitudinal and multi-modal profiling of 91 tumors from 71 pediatric patients, integrating whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing with ATAC-seq and Hi-C in matched cell lines. Their analyses revealed that key driver mutations, including TP53, are fixed early and persist through progression. Over 80% of tumors exhibited complex structural alterations—such as chromothripsis, kataegis, loss of heterozygosity, and ecDNA amplification—with MYC enhancer hijacking linked to chemoresistance. They identified a high-risk evolutionary trajectory marked by homologous recombination deficiency (HRD)-like signatures in the absence of BRCA mutations. These tumors showed focal duplications at fragile sites, early whole-genome doubling, high TP53 mutation burden, and sensitivity to PARP inhibition—highlighting a potential therapeutic vulnerability. Together, these findings define a replication stress–driven model of OS evolution, shaped by early chromosomal remodeling and ecDNA-mediated oncogene activation, with implications for biomarker development and precision treatment strategies.Dr. Yanding Zhao is a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University in the lab of Dr. Christina Curtis. He earned his PhD in Genetics from Dartmouth College, where he began developing computational tools to understand how genome instability disrupts gene regulation in cancer. At Stanford, his research focuses on pediatric osteosarcoma. By combining genome sequencing, 3D chromatin mapping, and spatial transcriptomics, he studies how tumors evolve, resist treatment, and evade the immune system. Dr. Zhao works closely with clinicians and scientists to help turn these discoveries into potential new therapies. He is honored to be part of the MIB Agents community and looks forward to sharing his work in a way that resonates with patients, families, and advocates.

Many different cultures from China and Southeast Asia honor the dead on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month during the Hungry Ghost Festival, also known as Zhongyuan in Daoism and Yulanpen or Ullambana in Mahayana Buddhism. In this episode, we'll trace the origins of ancestor worship to ancient Shang Dynasty Oracle Bones, or “Dragon Bones,” which were used to inscribe petitions to ancestral spirits and hold the earliest evidence of Chinese writing. Then we'll explore how regional variations of those ancient beliefs blended with the Buddhist Ulambana Sutra (or Mulian Rescues His Mother from Hell), Daoist visions of the afterlife, and Confucian teachings on filial responsibility. Over time, these influences eventually gave rise to the Hungry Ghost Festival which has continued to evolve into modern celebrations that weave together ancient traditions and modern lifestyles to honor both personal ancestors and members of the community lost in historical tragedies.TranscriptsFor transcripts of this episode head over to: https://archpodnet.com/tpm/21LinksSee photos related to episode topics on InstagramLoving the macabre lore?

Dynamic Aging Retreat Oct 3-5 2025This Episode's Show NotesJoin Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesIn this episode, Katy Bowman and Jeannette Loram dive into the fascinating relationship between blood sugar, diet, and movement. They unpack how the body regulates blood sugar, what happens when this process breaks down in Type I and Type II diabetes, and why different kinds of activity play such a big role in prevention and management.Katy and Jeannette explain how contracting muscles can pull glucose directly into working cells during exercise—a powerful but site-specific effect—and how long-term training reshapes muscle to take up glucose more efficiently.They also compare the blood sugar benefits of endurance exercise, resistance training, HIIT, stretching, and even light daily movement. Along the way, they highlight two key scenarios: insulin resistance linked to excess weight and inflammation, versus insulin resistance driven by low muscle mass in people with normal weight. For the latter, they stress why resistance training—or “big body work”—is especially essential.CHAPTERS 0:06:00 - Definitions 0:16:00 - The Dynamic Collective 0:17:00 - You Can't Exercise Off Diabetes 0:20:00 - Muscle is the Key Tissue (and the Liver)0:36:30 - Stretching & Light Activity 0:47:00 - Exercise Modality for Blood Sugar Regulation0:54:25 - Listener Question on Lupus brought to you by Peluva 1:09:09 - Blood Sugar Spikes During Exercise BOOKS & RESEARCH PAPERS My Perfect Movement Plan by Katy BowmanI know I should Exercise, But... by Diana Hill & Katy BowmanExercise and GLUT4 by Flores-Opazo et al (2020) Mechanisms of endurance and resistance exercise in type 2 diabetes by Zhao et al (2025)  Sedentary behaviour as a mediator of type 2 diabetes by Hamilton et al (2015) Impact of reduced sitting time or increasing sit-to-stand transitions on blood pressure and glucose regulation in Postmenopausal women by Hartman et al (2025) The impact of standing desks on cardiometabolic and vascular health by Bodker et al (2021) MADE POSSIBLE BY OUR WONDERFUL SPONSORS:Sweet Skins, organic hemp and cotton clothing that is stylish, flexible and designed to move with you, take 20% off with code Movement20Peluva, Five-toe minimalist sports shoes ideal for walking and higher impact activities.
