A dog waits for you all its life. Cooper... had been sleeping by the front door for weeks, and nobody in the house had the heart to move him. Every time a car slowed down outside, his ears came up. Every time someone walked up the sidewalk, he stood and waited like this might finally be the person he had been missing. Emma had been gone longer than anyone expected. Her parents told the neighbors she was doing better, because that was easier than explaining every hospital night, every test, and every morning when the house felt strange without her voice in it. Cooper didn't understand the words, but he understood that her room was empty and her backpack still smelled like her. Her mom played videos of Emma once or twice, thinking it might comfort him. Cooper would hear her laugh through the phone, tilt his head, and then hurry toward the stairs. After a few seconds, he'd come back confused and lie down near the door again. That afternoon, Emma's mom pulled into the driveway and helped her up the front steps. Emma still looked tired, and her bag hung a little heavy on her shoulder, but she was smiling before the door was even all the way open. Cooper froze. He stood in the hallway staring at her, tail moving slowly at first, like his body was waiting for his heart to catch up. Emma covered her mouth and started laughing through tears. "Oh, I missed you so much, Cooper." The sound of her voice did it. Cooper ran straight to her, paws sliding a little on the floor, then jumped up into her arms like he had been saving every bit of love for that one second. Emma caught him around the neck and held on, crying harder when he pressed his face against her shoulder and made that little whining sound dogs make when they're too happy to stay quiet. Her mom stayed by the door and let them have the moment. Cooper kept his paws on Emma's shoulders, his tail hitting the wall behind him, while she buried her face in his fur and whispered his name again. He didn't need to know where she had been or why everyone had been so worried. The only thing that mattered was that the door finally opened, and this time, Emma was standing there. Has your dog ever waited for someone like they knew they were coming home?show more

Men are sexually assaulted by females everyday. It’s never... “breaking news”. #Michaelraineyjr was sexually assaulted on live. He was extremely uncomfortable. She started groping him. He didn’t embarrass her, or push her off. He moved her hands off of him, and protected his private area. This happens to men a lot, it is always swept under the rug. Men start reporting them! Accountability needs to be held! This wasn’t her first time doing this. Women said “he smiled” that means he wanted it. WRONG! Some men do that because they’re embarrassed, and uncomfortable. It’s a nervous tick. Keep your hands to yourself! Men start choosing the “bear” too.show more

Poles are furious with the police over their slow... response to a brutal attack on a random Polish man in Warsaw. After a video of the incident went viral, police issued a statement confirming they were aware of the attack. Public anger has grown because ordinary citizens, not the police, managed to find the suspect’s social media accounts and hand over the information, including his photos. Under Polish law, authorities can request data from social media platforms and internet providers to help identify and locate a suspect, yet the man remains at large, and it is still unclear whether police have even identified him. Many have also pointed out that the individual seen speaking with the victim just before the assault may have been involved in the attack. His calm behavior afterward, showing no apparent shock or distress and making no attempt to help the victim, has fueled those suspicions. One video from the suspect’s account, obtained before he made the profile private, shows him smiling and flexing his muscles while training in boxing.show more

UPDATE: We have full names of the attackers Today,... while Sheikh Saeed lies in the hospital with his leg amputated after being shot on Thursday by a settler, a hearing was held on the matter at the military court of the apartheid regime. However, the suspects are not the settlers who attacked Saeed and his son, but the victims themselves. Saeed’s 15-year-old son, who was attacked alongside him, was abducted from the scene after his father was shot and has since been held at the Israeli Ofer detention camp. Saeed himself was detained as a prisoner at Soroka Hospital and was not allowed to receive visitors or see his relatives or family members. Today, the court decided to release both of them from detention, demanding 10,000 shekels for their release. Due to technical reasons, the release will be delayed and will only take place tomorrow. Binyamin Bodenheimer—the settler who shot Saeed—is the security coordinator of the settlement of Avigail. As the person responsible for the settlement’s security, he is deeply committed to acting in the settlement’s interests, which means to the harm of his Palestinian neighbors. His activities include, among other things, expelling shepherds from their lands, harassing residents who are under threat of expulsion, and invading villages with youths from the settlement. Many complaints have been filed against Bodenheimer with the police, along with documentation proving the allegations, but the police, of course, are unfazed. Those belonging to the “superior race” are exempt from the law. Even when Bodenheimer shot Saeed, he was not required to appear for questioning (as far as is known). As for his arrest—there is no question of that, while Saeed, who was shot by him, is held as a detainee in the hospital. Today, Bodenheimer returned again to the area where the incident occurred, near Saeed’s home. Apparently, it was not enough for him, and he wants to continue making Saeed’s family’s life miserable as they are still processing the fresh trauma and new reality forced upon them. Apparently, the attacker also wanted to remind them that he is there at any given moment, that he is free and can continue to harm them as much as he wants, with the assistance and protection of the apartheid regime.

Bollywood’s fastest-rising critically acclaimed leading man saw his entire... career obliterated in an afternoon behind police handcuffs. In the mid-2000s, Shiney Ahuja was considered the thinking person’s superstar. After bagging the Filmfare Best Male Debut for Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, he delivered consecutive hits in Gangster, Life in a... Metro, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa. With brooding intensity and undeniable screen presence, directors queued outside his door to sign him for multi-crore scripts. Then came June 14, 2009. Mumbai Police stormed his residence in Oshiwara and placed him under arrest. The charge was horrifying: his 19-year-old domestic maid alleged that while his wife and daughter were out of town, Ahuja had confined and rap*d her inside his home. The media trial was instantaneous and ferocious. Vanity vans turned into police interrogation rooms, television channels dissected his private life around the clock, and the film fraternity, which had embraced him only days earlier, froze him out overnight. The legal battle took a stunning turn when the trial began. In the witness box, the complainant turned hostile, dramatically retracting her initial police complaint and claiming she had made the allegations under outside pressure. Yet the court refused to let the actor walk free. Relying on forensic corroboration, medical reports, and the initial police statement, the fast-track sessions judge held that the retraction appeared coerced. In March 2011, the court sentenced Ahuja to seven years of rigorous imprisonment. Though he secured bail from the Bombay High Court shortly afterward, the verdict delivered an irreparable death blow to his stardom. Production houses canceled his pending contracts, finished films quietly dumped their promotions, and an actor once tipped to dominate the industry spent over a decade waiting in complete cinematic exile.show more

🚨 JUST IN - Here are the extraordinary details... of the Hostage rescue operation by the brave IDF: At 11am Israel time, the order was given to raid two multi-story buildings in central Gaza's Nuseirat where 4 hostages were being held. The buildings were about 200 meters apart and the decision to raid both simultaneously was out of concern that terrorists may murder the hostages once they realized a rescue operation was underway. Noa Argamani was held by Hamas guards alone in the home of a Palestinian family, while the other three hostages were held at a separate home. According to the IDF, Hamas pays Gazan families to hold the hostages in their homes. At the apartment where the three male hostages were held, a gun battle erupted, during which brave IDF soldier Arnon Zamora, commander of the rescue team at the second building, was critically wounded and later died of his injuries As the three hostages and Zamora were being extracted, their vehicle came under fire. Other forces quickly reached the scene to rescue them under heavy fire. Ground troops and the Air Force carried out major strikes in the area to protect themselves and the rescued hostages.

🧵Another personal thread dedicated to an Israeli reservist who... served during the first months of the genocide. This time it's Ariel Mualem, a D9 operator who served in Gaza. In mid-December his unit raided Kamal Adwan hospital and abducted the hospital director, Ahmad Kahlout. Kahlout was then tortured by the Shin Bet and forced to give a "confession", on camera, for supposedly being a Hamas militant and for using the hospital as a "military base" of Hamas. Mualem shared a video of the forced confession on his Instagram story, and wrote: "Take a good luck at this d*ck". In the following story we can see the hospital director being abducted, while cuffed. Mualem captioned the video "Human garbage🤮" and "Here he is, not such a hero after we got to him" A year later, Ahmad Kahlout is still held captive in one of Israel's concentration camps. Kamal Adwan Hospital is still under constant attacks, in an area where Israel is currently implementing its "final solution", named The Generals' Plan.show more

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲: 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫... 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 Prince Harry, once the shining light of the royal family, has now become a figure of contempt in Britain, a man who has not only turned his back on his family but, more egregiously, sold out his country. His actions over the past few years have burned every last bridge, leaving the British public with nothing but scorn for the man who once stood shoulder to shoulder with the people. The Oprah interview was the tipping point. It was here that Harry, complicit in silence, allowed Meghan Markle to imply that a member of the royal family had concerns about the skin colour of their son, Archie. The accusation was seismic, sending shockwaves through the UK. But what made this worse—what made it utterly unforgivable—was Harry’s inaction. His failure to stand up for his family while his ailing grandfather, Prince Philip, was in his final days showed a callous disregard for the pain it would cause. No matter the issues he may have had behind closed doors, to go on international television and sully the name of the institution that raised him was seen by many as nothing short of treachery. And as if the Oprah debacle wasn’t bad enough, we were later subjected to 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺 & 𝘔𝘦𝘨𝘩𝘢𝘯, the Netflix mockumentary thinly veiled as a love letter to themselves but in truth, a very public airing of grievances. It was here that Meghan’s mocking of the royal tradition of curtsying to Queen Elizabeth shocked us Brits. With a poorly executed theatrical bow and a laughable comparison to medieval times, she belittled a gesture that symbolises respect and duty—values the British monarchy stands for. And Harry? He smirked. His silence, again, was deafening. How could any grandson, raised in the folds of such tradition, allow his wife to mock the woman who represented so much to so many? The British people watched, aghast. That smirk—that quiet complicity—was a betrayal not just of his family, but of us, the British public who had once held him in such high regard. Queen Elizabeth, beloved and respected, was the embodiment of duty and grace, and for Harry to stand idly by as she was mocked before her passing will never be forgiven. The wound is deep, and it’s raw. Then came the memoir 𝘚𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦. If the Netflix series was a veiled attack, 𝘚𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦 was an all-out assault. Page after page of grievances, personal attacks on his father and brother, intimate family moments laid bare for the world to see. The British public has always respected the monarchy’s ability to keep private matters within the palace walls. Harry tore that tradition apart. And for what? A quick buck, a bit of global attention. The title of ‘spare’ may have haunted him his whole life, but now it’s clear: the role he once resented is one he’s embraced—no longer a prince, but a spare to the very values that once defined him. For us Brits, it isn’t just the content of his attacks that hurts—it’s the fact that he’s chosen to air them so publicly, so vindictively. The monarchy is not just his family; it is the backbone of British history, culture, and identity. To see it so easily discarded and vilified by one of its own is a wound that may never heal. No, Britain will not forgive Harry. The man who was once the cheeky prince with a ready smile and a heart for service has become a symbol of betrayal. He has betrayed his family, his country, and his role in history. And for that, there is no going back.show more

Everytime you see the "Where is Kate Middleton?" and... the conspiracies, smile my dears, because there is a greater implication here. After 5 months of public Bullying, Press pressures, Public Pressures and Palace pressures, NO ONE can tell you anything tangible about the princess; not the press, not the courtiers, no one. Prince William has indeed remained Catherine's Relentless protector and defender🔥 He has kept his promise to Catherine that •she would have surgery in complete privacy; •be in and out of the hospital in complete privacy; • Be back home to recover in complete privacy; • That he would take care of their children and handle everything while she focus on her recovery on complete privacy🤩 We are 5 months into 2024, and Catherine, as the Most High Profile future Queen in the World, has enjoyed a privacy that was not given to any other royal women or wife of an Heir apparent EVER in History. This is not thanks to the press; this is not even thanks to the Palace. It is because her Husband has refused to serve her on a platter and has not let himself be cowered by outside nor inside pressures on him to relent. As his mentor and Frmr Private secretary Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton already said of Him: "William was always someone of deeply impressive maturity[...] There are many examples of when I worked for William where it would have been very easy to take one route, but it wouldn’t have been the honorable or the right thing to do; so he took the more difficult route."❤️ Prince William proved his private secretary right indeed. He chose the most difficult path when it came to protecting Catherine because it was the right thing to do. The Easiest path would have been to give the press what they want: access to Catherine to take her pictures so they can make money of her and dissect her ad nauseam while she recovers. Instead, he chose to do the one thing that would anger them and bring their wrath on him: He gave them No access and No explanations🔥 William EVEN dared to take a mother's day picture of his OWN wife and children HIMSELF; How dare he..😏🤡 The Fact is, Catherine has Privacy ONLY because Prince William held strong for his family to remain at peace during this time of turmoil. In 2012 during their Pacific Royal tour, Catherine was once again victim of the Press attacks and violation of her privacy when the french magazine, The Closer, published topless pictures of her while on vacation with William. The DM editor, Rebecca English, quizzed him about the situation and it was then that Prince William revealed that Prior to marrying her, he had given his word to her parents that he would protect her at all costs and take care of her; a promise he continues to stand by❤️ Just this month, a friend of the RF revealed pretty much nothing to People Mag when he said that "Prince William is keeping his inner circle tight during a challenging chapter." The Source added: "He is not leaning on too many others"😏 Another source closer to the Wales said: "The Prince of Wales is relying heavily on the "nuclear family unit" of his immediate family of five and Kate’s supportive family: her parents Carole and Michael Middleton and her siblings Pippa and James"🔥 Who could blame him? He has to keep quiet since he knows everyone wants to know what he knows. So he is right to rely on the people who will never betray him nor Catherine: The Middletons. A daft post was asking "why are the Middletons not asking where their daughter is?" Why would they, Dimmy?🤡 They know exactly where she is and probably what she ate today. The Middletons have do not talk because they KNOW what is going on and are protecting their OWN Daughter, alongside William😏 So when you see people asking where she is, remember that the Future King kept his promise to his Wife; and a Man who will keep his promises to his wife and children, will keep his promises to his country and to the Monarchy☕️ 📹Tokkianamishow more

The IDF officially confirms that the commander of Hamas's... East Rafah Battalion, his deputy, and two other terror operatives were killed while trying to flee a tunnel in the southern Gaza Strip on Sunday. The four were spotted emerging from the tunnels in eastern Rafah, an IDF-held area where dozens of Hamas fighters were believed to be trapped underground. According to the military, the four operatives were killed by troops and the Israeli Air Force. The IDF says that following a review of intelligence, it can officially confirm that Mohammad Bawab, the East Rafah Battalion commander, Ismail Abu Labda, the deputy battalion commander, Tawfiq Salem, a company commander, and Abdullah Hamad, the son of a senior Hamas official, were the four operatives killed. Bawab and Abu Labda were responsible for planning the battalion's invasion of southern Israel during the October 7 onslaught, the military says. Hamad, the son of senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad, served as a security officer in Bawab's team, according to the army.show more

In the spring of 2023, Kansas farmer Dale Henderson... was repairing fence posts along the eastern edge of his property near Russell County when his German Shepherd, Max, came trotting out of the tree line carrying something in his mouth. Another rock. Max had been doing this for weeks. He'd vanish into the woodland sometimes for hours, and return with dark, heavy stones clutched in his jaws. He'd drop them at Dale's feet like offerings, tail wagging, waiting for praise. These rocks were different. They were heavier than they should be. Covered in a smooth black crust that didn't match anything Dale had seen in forty years of working this land. When he held them close, they smelled like iron-metal left out in the rain. By early April, Dale had a collection of nineteen stones piled on his porch. His wife, Ellen, wanted him to throw them out. Dale couldn't explain why, but something told him to keep them. On April 14th, he loaded twelve of the specimens into his truck and drove ninety miles to the geology department at Kansas State University in Manhattan. Professor James Chen picked up the first stone, turned it over in his hands, and his expression changed. "Where exactly did you find these?" "I didn't," Dale said. "My dog did." Professor Chen ran the first round of tests that afternoon. Density measurements. Magnetic response. X-ray fluorescence. Dale paced for two hours. His neighbor, Roy Perkins, called during the wait. Roy owned the adjacent 160 acres. He'd found similar stones scattered across his fields after spring plowing. Dale told him to bring them to the university. Professor Chen emerged holding a printout of analysis results. "Mr. Henderson, these aren't rocks. They're meteorites. And based on the composition, they're from the same fall event. Probably thousands of years old." "I need to see where your dog has been finding them." The geology team arrived at Dale's farm three days later with ground-penetrating radar, metal detectors, and magnetometers. They started in the woodland where Max had been hunting. Within hours, they'd identified over sixty additional specimens buried in the soil. Beneath Dale Henderson's 200-acre farm lay the remnants of an ancient meteorite shower— thousands of fragments from a single asteroid that broke apart in the atmosphere and scattered across what is now central Kansas, likely between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago. Subsequent surveys revealed the strewn field extended across Dale's entire property and onto Roy Perkins's land as well. It was one of the largest and richest meteorite fields ever discovered in North America. The meteorites were pallasites—an extremely rare type containing crystalline olivine embedded in an iron-nickel matrix. They also showed unusually high concentrations of platinum-group metals: iridium, palladium, and rhodium. The scientific value was immense. The commercial value was almost incomprehensible. Museums began calling within a week of the announcement. The Smithsonian. The American Museum of Natural History. Private collectors from Europe and Asia. A single 4.2-kilogram specimen from Dale's north field sold at auction in September 2023 for $892,000. Dale Henderson's farm, became the site of one of the most significant meteorite recoveries in American history. The total estimated value of recoverable specimens across both properties exceeded $47 million. Dale and Roy formed a partnership. They hired a professional excavation team to conduct systematic recovery while preserving the scientific integrity of the site. The University of Kansas was granted research access in exchange for authentication and documentation services. Dale kept farming. He said he wasn't going to let space rocks change who he was. But he did build a new barn. And a new house. And set up college funds for all seven of his grandchildren. Max, the German Shepherd who started it all, became a minor celebrity. A geology magazine ran a feature calling him "the most valuable dog in Americashow more

✅“MISSION COMPLETED”by #JIN to fill ARMYs’ hearts with happiness... ARMYs in Chile had planned a project where they would raise and lower their ARMY Bombs in sync with the moment the members gathered in the center at the start of the “fya” stage, but it didn’t go as smoothly as they’d hoped. Then, during the surprise song “JUMP,” JIN encouraged ARMYs to join him while he’s raising his arms and jumping, and ARMYs followed his lead. As a result, the incomplete “fya” project was brought to life during “JUMP.” It was a moment that created another happiness that will remain in the hearts of all ARMYs for a long time, especially the fans who held their ARMY Bombs high and shared that moment at yesterday’s concert. Seeing the happy ARMYs must have made JIN very happy as well💜 “MISSION COMPLETED”, 진이 ARMY의 마음을 행복으로 가득 채운 순간 칠레의 ARMY들은 “fya” 무대 초반 멤버들이 가운데로 모여 호흡을 맞추는 순간에 맞춰 아미밤을 아래 위로 올리고 내리는 프로젝트를 계획했는데, 생각만큼 순조롭게 진행되지 않았어요. 그러던 중 서프라이즈송 “JUMP”에서 JIN이 즉흥적으로 손을 머리위로 올리며 점프하는 동작으로 아미들의 호응을 유도했어요. 그 결과 미완성이었던 fya 프로젝트가 JUMP 에서 완성되는 광경이 만들어졌어요. 모든 아미들 특히 어제 콘서트에서 아미밤을 손에 들고 그 순간을 함께했던 팬들의 마음속에 오래 남을 또하나의 특별한 행복이 만들어지는 순간이었고, 행복한 아미를 보는 진도 얼마나 행복했을까요💜 JIN TRAE FELICIDAD A CHILE #JIN_IN_SANTIAGO_D3 #BTS_WORLDTOUR_ARIRANG_SANTIAGO #JIN #방탄소년단진 #진show more

10 TRUMP POSITIONS NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT. MOST OF... THEM CONTRADICT HIS OWN POLICIES!!! Everyone covers the Nvidia and Boeing. Nobody reads past them. We went through the filings properly. First, for scale. Joe Biden made 13 stock trades in his entire presidency. Trump's 2025 annual disclosure lists 21,235 transactions. That is nearly as many as the entire rest of the Executive Branch filed in the same period, across 8 separate accounts. His own first term, in 2017, had 86. Now here are the ones nobody covers. 1️⃣ Invitation Homes He signed an executive order to stop large institutional investors from competing with regular families for single family homes. His accounts bought $250,000 to $500,000 of Invitation Homes, one of the largest institutional owners of single family rental homes in America. The stock sold off when those announcements landed. He owns the exact thing the policy targets. 2️⃣ Coupang 18 separate trades in a South Korean e-commerce company between October 2025 and May 2026. Filings suggest he may still hold up to around $130,000. All of it during active trade friction with Korea and a data breach investigation by Korean regulators. 3️⃣ Toyota A Japanese automaker, in a portfolio belonging to the president tariffing foreign vehicles and demanding domestic production. 4️⃣ Procter & Gamble Enormous global supply chain, heavily exposed to imported materials and packaging. Tariffs raise their input costs directly. He owns it anyway. 5️⃣ Carvana Bought $250,000 to $500,000 on January 6, 2026. Online used car retailer. Tariffs on imported parts and vehicles push costs up across the entire auto market. 6️⃣ Axon Enterprise This is the timeline that should get more attention than it does. February 10, the accounts buy $1 million to $5 million of Axon. February 24, fourteen days later, ICE posts a solicitation for a five year, $220 million Taser contract. Roughly 17,800 units. The solicitation never names Axon. The technical specs match their Taser 10 almost exactly, and Axon holds around 90% of the US Taser market. 7️⃣ GEO Group and CoreCivic The two largest private prison operators in the country, both directly exposed to detention capacity. Held while running the largest immigration enforcement expansion in modern history. 8️⃣ Blue Owl Capital A business development company yielding 10 to 12%, lending to middle market businesses. Then he signed an executive order easing the rules so 401k money can flow into private equity and private credit. Sign the order. Collect the dividend. 9️⃣ PulteGroup Multiple purchases through late 2025 in one of America's largest homebuilders. Bill Pulte, grandson of the founder, was nominated to run the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Family name on the company. Family name on the regulator. 🔟 Palantir Everyone knows he praised it publicly. Fewer people know that in the same quarter, his accounts bought $200,000 to $680,000 of it and sold between $1 million and $5 million. He was a net seller of the stock he was promoting. So what is the pattern? ➡️ Some holdings benefit enormously from his policies. Prisons, private credit, defense, homebuilders. ➡️ Some are actively damaged by them. Toyota, P&G, Carvana, Coupang. ➡️ And at least one, Invitation Homes, is the specific business his own executive order was written to restrict. That last category is the interesting one, because it argues against the simple version of this story. If someone were deliberately trading policy, they would not be long the companies their own tariffs hurt. The White House position has never changed. The accounts are managed independently by third party institutions with sole authority over investment decisions. Maybe. But 21,235 transactions in one year across 8 accounts, in dozens of companies regulated by the government he runs, is not a normal situation for anyone to be in. Regardless of who is pressing the buttons.show more

I think I found the residency résumé industry. Mount... Sinai lists Dr. Ratesh Khillan as a voluntary faculty physician/Assistant Clinical Professor affiliated with Beth Israel and Mount Sinai Brooklyn. Meanwhile, his private Brooklyn USCE business advertises Mount Sinai among its “teaching affiliates” while selling clinical rotations and residency-related services to IMGs. His Brooklyn USCE business currently advertises: $1,550: 4-week clinical rotation +$399: opportunity to participate in research with Dr. Khillan LORs on hospital letterhead for some rotations plus CV review, interview prep, residency signaling guidance and other Match services in larger packages. Then I started looking at the research. Two completely unrelated single-patient case reports, published two months apart, have the exact same 10 Brooklyn Cancer Care authors, just rearranged. One is a liver hematoma case and the other is Stage IV endometrial cancer. And this isn’t even the only company selling residency research credentials. USMLE Wise openly advertises $300 “co-author” placement on an active research project and $800 “lead-author” placement. They say participants perform substantive work and meet authorship standards, but those are literally the products being sold to residency applicants. So foreign medical graduates can now shop for American clinical rotations, research opportunities, publication credits, hospital-letterhead recommendations, interview coaching and Match strategy. Meanwhile we’re told a publication-heavy CV proves who the “best” residency candidate is. How much of the American residency meritocracy is actually a credential marketplace?show more
