On June 13, Chinese national Tingjun Cao was jailed for life for the murder of Christchurch real estate agent and mother Yanfei Bao. Bao, 44, was stabbed to death in July 2023 and buried in a shallow grave on a farm outside Christchurch. She was not found for more than a year. The crime shocked New Zealand and this month on Herald podcast A Moment In Crime senior journalist and host Anna Leask tells the story of Yanfei and her killer. In this episode Leask goes inside the courtroom to Cao’s sentencing and you will hear from the detective who led the investigation into his awful offending. It is graphic in parts and may be upsetting. This podcast explores crime not for shock value, but for clarity — to understand what happened, why, and what it means. True crime is not entertainment — it's a responsibility. I tell crime stories with one goal in mind: to centre the victims, uncover the full story, and examine how justice is pursued — or denied. This episode was produced by Leask, NZME audio engineer Alastair Boyes and Ethan Sills.

Een overzicht van het belangrijkste mobiliteitsnieuws! Automobilisten negeren waarschuwingen van Rijkswaterstaat rondom de NAVO-top. NS-topman Wouter Koolmees biedt treinreiziger excuses aan voor de stakingen. Volkswagen introduceert volledig autonoom rijdende ID. Buzz en mobiliteitsplatform Umob haalt een investering 3,5 miljoen euro op voor schaalvergroting. Van zondag 22 juni tot en met 26 juni worden meerdere snelwegen in de Randstad geheel of gedeeltelijk afgesloten in verband met de NAVO top in Den Haag. Rijkswaterstaat verwacht chaos op de weg als mensen besluiten om in die periode toch de auto te pakken. Uit een flitspeiling onder automobilisten blijkt dat 90 procent van de mensen, die normaal in de Randstad rijden, op de hoogte is van de afsluitingen. Toch is 75 procent niet van plan om het reisgedrag daarop aan te passen. Zij pakken dus gewoon de auto. Volgens Rijkswaterstaat zal het verkeer in dat geval op snelwegen, provinciale wegen en gemeentelijke wegen volledig vastlopen. Verder in deze update: NS komt met eindbod voor een CAO.

China's national college entrance exam, known as the gaokao, will take place from Saturday to Tuesday and feature several new developments, including the rollout of exam reforms in eight additional provinces, expanded university enrollment and the launch of new academic majors.中国的全国大学入学考试，即高考，将于周六至下周二举行，并将呈现多项新举措，包括在另外八个省份推行考试改革、扩大高校招生规模以及开设新专业。This year, eight more provincial-level regions will implement the gaokao reform: Sichuan, Henan, Shanxi, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Qinghai and the Ningxia Hui and Inner Mongolia autonomous regions. So far, 29 provinces have adopted the new gaokao mechanism.今年，又有八个省级地区将启动高考改革，其中包括：四川、河南、山西、云南、陕西、青海以及宁夏回族自治区和内蒙古自治区。截至目前，已有29个省份采用了新的高考机制。Under the reform, candidates must take three nationally standardized subjects — Chinese, mathematics and a foreign language — along with one primary elective subject, either physics or history, and two additional electives selected from chemistry, geography, political science and biology.根据新的改革方案，考生必须参加三门全国统一高考科目——语文、数学和一门外语——外加一门首选科目（物理或历史），以及从化学、地理、政治和生物中选出的两门再选科目。Xiong Bingqi, director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said the reform, launched in 2014, has provided students with greater flexibility in subject selection and aims to place more emphasis on students' individuality and personal interests while establishing a more comprehensive and multi-dimensional evaluation system.21世纪教育研究院院长熊丙奇表示，这项于2014年启动的改革为学生提供了更大的学科选择灵活性，旨在更注重学生的个体特质和个人兴趣，同时致力于建立一个更为综合性、多维度的评价体系。"However, the issue of solely relying on test scores persists. It is necessary to strengthen the reform of comprehensive quality evaluation," Xiong said.“然而，唯分数论问题依然存在。目前还是有必要加强综合素质评价的改革。”熊丙奇表示。Many universities have expanded enrollment plans this year, including Tsinghua University, Peking University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The additional spots, ranging from dozens to several hundred, are primarily concentrated in fundamental disciplines such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, as well as in strategic and cutting-edge fields.许多大学今年扩大了招生计划，包括清华大学、北京大学和上海交通大学。其新增名额从几十个到数百个不等，主要集中在数学、物理、化学等基础学科，以及战略性和前沿领域。Xi'an Jiaotong University in Shaanxi province has been expanding its enrollment over the past decade and plans to add 200 more spots this year, according to Cao Liangzhi, director of the university's admissions office.据西安交通大学招生办公室主任曹良志介绍，该校在过去十年一直在扩大招生规模，今年计划再增加200个招生名额。"The focus is primarily on emerging technology industries and fields geared toward the future," Cao said. "In response to technological and industrial transformation and upgrading, we aim to cultivate more high-quality talent."曹主任表示：“扩招的重点主要集中在新兴科技产业和面向未来的领域。为了应对科技与产业转型升级，我们旨在培养更多高素质人才。”This year, China's college admissions introduced 29 new undergraduate majors across fields such as artificial intelligence, carbon neutrality and digital governance.今年，中国高校招生新增了29个本科专业，涵盖人工智能、碳中和、数字治理等领域。According to the Ministry of Education, these new programs are designed to align with national strategic priorities, market demands and technological advancements.教育部表示，这些新专业的设置旨在对接国家战略所需、满足市场需求并适应科技发展。Beijing Jiaotong University has added five undergraduate majors in fields of national strategic demand, including data science and big data technology, robotics engineering, intelligent manufacturing engineering, intelligent vehicle engineering, and international journalism and communication.北京交通大学新增了五个面向国家战略需求的本科专业，包括数据科学与大数据技术、机器人工程、智能制造工程、智能车辆工程以及国际新闻与传播。The Beijing Institute of Technology has introduced a low-altitude technology and engineering major, focusing on cultivating top-tier talent to meet the strategic needs of low-altitude economic development.北京理工大学新开设了低空技术专业，旨在培养顶尖人才，以满足低空经济发展的战略需求。Universities are adjusting their programs to align with social development and meet societal needs, according to Xiong.熊丙奇表示，高校正调整专业设置以适应社会发展并满足社会需求。Around 13.35 million students have registered for this year's gaokao, a decrease of 70,000 compared to last year and marking the first decline in a decade, according to data released by the ministry.根据教育部发布的数据，今年高考报名人数约为1335万，较去年减少7万人，系近十年来首次下降。The decline in exam candidates is primarily due to a decrease in vocational college entrance exam participants, who are no longer required to take the gaokao, Xiong explained. However, the number of candidates for the regular gaokao has increased, he said.熊丙奇解释说，考生人数下降主要是由于高职院校分类考试招生规模扩大，这部分考生不再必须参加统一高考。但他指出，参加普通高考的考生人数实际有所增加。"It is hoped that universities will expand enrollment based on their unique conditions and strengths, focusing not only on increasing numbers but also on improving quality," Xiong said.熊丙奇表示：“希望各高校能立足自身条件与特色扩大招生规模，既要注重数量增长，更要着力提升培养质量。”national college entrance exam高考enrollment/ɪnˈrəʊlmənt/n. 注册；参加；入学additional electives再选科目primary elective subject首选科目nationally standardized subjects全国统考科目admission/ədˈmɪʃn/n. 准许进入；招生

It's not worth saying anything because you can't change the town hall.”  Now that my boys are working in the corporate world, I often share that they always have a choice and that they are in control of their future.

Học nghề: Lương CAO có KHẢ THI? | Beate Dippmar, GIZ Việt Nam | #TTH S1E7"Định kiến cho rằng học trường nghề kém hơn học đại học cần được xóa bỏ, nhất là khi giáo dục nghề đang không ngừng đạt được những thành tựu đáng kể" - Đây là suy nghĩ của cô Beate Dippmar, Giám đốc khối các chương trình về Giáo dục nghề nghiệp lao động và Di cư lao động (GIZ Việt Nam), chia sẻ trong tập thứ 7 của series podcast Từ Tốn Học.Beate Dippmar bắt đầu theo đuổi công việc về GDNN lao động và di cư lao động tại GIZ từ khoảng gần 20 năm trước ở Đức.

Lo splendore delle civiltà precolombiane e le efferatezze perpetrate dai conquistadores hanno occupato a lungo l'immaginario occidentale, ritardando una conoscenza più approfondita di quanto era accaduto nei secoli precedenti. Per fortuna le campagne di scavo condotte negli ultimi decenni stanno lentamente portando alla luce civiltà degne di rivaleggiare con la magnificenza di inca, maya e aztechi. Nel 2006 suscitò molto clamore la pubblicazione sulla rivista National Geographic di un articolo che rivelava una sensazionale scoperta compiuta nel nord del Perù. Uno studioso originario di Cusco, il professor Régulo Franco, aveva portato alla luce la tomba della Signora di Cao. Perché una scoperta che avveniva in una zona periferica del Paese e che per di più non aggiungeva una nuova tessera alla conoscenza degli Inca, in quanto si riferiva all'ignota civiltà Moche, aveva mobilitato la più famosa rivista americana di natura e di viaggi? L'archeologo peruviano Régulo Franco sarà ospite di Laser per raccontarci in prima persona come giunse a quel sensazionale ritrovamento. Ci spiegherà anche come è cambiata grazie ad esso la nostra idea dei mondi precolombiani. La Signora di Cao ha infatti rivoluzionato la comprensione del ruolo della donna nelle civiltà dell'America prima degli spagnoli, avvalorando le teorie di Maria Gimbutas e Riane Eisle sulle civiltà antiche, che ci inviano un messaggio potente e attualissimo di inclusività e parità, sfidando le idee tradizionali sul potere maschile. Ospiti della trasmissione saranno anche due donne archeologhe. Jenny Alva, che assisté Walter Alva nella scoperta del Signore di Sipàn, l'altro ritrovamento che ha segnato una tappa nelle ricerche in Perù, ha collaborato per oltre dieci anni con il Museo de América di Madrid, dedicandosi alla ricerca e alla divulgazione delle culture precolombiane. A lei si affiancherà un'altra esperta di archeologia sudamericana, Carolina Orsini, Conservatore delle Raccolte Archeologiche e Etnografiche del Museo delle Culture (Mudec) di Milano

Your house should be your safe space. But what if it's the source of your symptoms? In this solo episode of Super Life, Darin Olien uncovers the hidden poisons lurking inside your home—from cookware and furniture to cleaning products and carpets. Darin breaks down the scientific research behind common toxins like PFAS, phthalates, formaldehyde, and flame retardants, and shows you how these “fatal conveniences” may be silently disrupting your hormones, damaging your gut, and weakening your immune system. You'll walk away from this episode with practical, easy-to-implement solutions that will help you detox your environment and build a home that supports vitality, longevity, and true wellness.   1. Formaldehyde in Your Home: The Silent Threat Formaldehyde is a common indoor air pollutant found in engineered wood products, cabinetry, moldings, countertops, and furniture. It is classified as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization and has been linked to respiratory issues, asthma, and even leukemia (Zhang et al., 2020). How to Reduce Formaldehyde Exposure:  Opt for solid wood furniture instead of pressed wood.  Use low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints and finishes.  Keep your home well-ventilated with HEPA air purifiers.    2. The Hidden Dangers of PFAS (Forever Chemicals) PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are found in non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, waterproof clothing, and even drinking water. Studies show these chemicals accumulate in the body and are linked to cancer, hormonal imbalances, immune system suppression, and reproductive toxicity (DeWitt et al., 2019). How to Reduce PFAS Exposure:  Switch to cast iron or stainless steel cookware.  Avoid stain-resistant treatments on carpets and furniture.  Use water filters certified to remove PFAS.    3. Plastics: More Than Just an Environmental Issue Plastics release harmful chemicals like BPA (bisphenol A) and phthalates, which disrupt the endocrine system, leading to infertility, metabolic disorders, and even neurological issues (Talsness et al., 2009).  How to Reduce Plastic Exposure:  Use glass or stainless steel containers.  Avoid microwaving food in plastic.  Choose BPA-free household products.    4. Carpets: A Reservoir of Toxins and Allergens Carpets harbor SVOCs (semi-volatile organic compounds), flame retardants, and pesticides, making them a major source of indoor air pollution and allergens. Children and pets are particularly vulnerable (Cao et al., 2017). How to Reduce Carpet-Related Risks:  Choose natural fiber rugs like wool or cotton.  Regularly clean with a HEPA vacuum.  Use non-toxic carpet cleaners.    5. Fragrances: The Airborne Toxins in Your Home Synthetic fragrances found in air fresheners, candles, cleaning products, and perfumes contain phthalates and VOCs that are linked to respiratory issues, migraines, and hormone disruption (Steinemann, 2018).  How to Detox Your Home's Air:  Use essential oil diffusers instead of synthetic air fresheners.  Choose fragrance-free cleaning products.  Improve indoor air quality with houseplants like peace lilies and spider plants.    SuperLife Home Detox: Steps to Create a Healthy Living Space Switch to Non-Toxic Cleaning Products – Avoid harsh chemicals; opt for vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils.  Improve Ventilation – Open windows daily and use HEPA air filters.  Filter Your Water – Invest in a high-quality water filtration system to remove PFAS, chlorine, and heavy metals.  Avoid Toxic Furniture and Decor – Choose organic bedding, non-toxic paint, and untreated wood furniture.  Ditch the Plastics – Use glass, stainless steel, or silicone alternatives for food storage and cookware.  Go Green with Personal Care Products – Check labels for parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances.   Conclusion The reality is, our homes can be filled with hidden toxins that impact our health in ways we don't even realize. But the good news? We have the power to change that.

In Part 2, we start off talking about the significance of opening a Latinx-owned bookstore in the heart of the Mission, on 24th Street.   The folks who run Medicine for Nightmares call the entire space at 3036 24th Street—the bookstore in front and gallery in back—"The Portal." Josiah talks about the intention to utilize that gallery space to highlight art and artists in the Mission. The gallery is also often home to community group meetings, further solidifying its importance. That's my kind of mixed-use. In the three years that MfN has been open, they've hosted more than 800 events in the gallery.   To couch our discussion of how they choose which books to sell at Medicine for Nightmares, Josiah points out that the last time he checked, something like 75 or 80 percent of bookstores in the US are white-owned. He shares stories of sneaking out of his home in Marin when he was a teenager, driving to The City, and going to City Lights, which was open until midnight in those days. It was there, though, that Josiah discovered Latinx poets, writers who spoke his language, literally.   For him and his business partner, Tân Khánh Cao, it was always about wanting to see themselves reflected on the shelves. Josiah mentions a long-held, racist belief by publishers that Black and brown folks don't read. That, of course, is nonsense, and the bookstore stands with others in direct defiance and opposition to that mindset.   On their first day of business, Josiah says that a young mom came in with her kid and went to the children's books section of the store. He and Tân noticed that she was crying, so they went over to see if everything was OK. "I've never been in a bookstore before and seen a kids' book that looks like my kid," she told them. That was the first day.   We then turn to the story of how they came up with the name of the store. Joshia and Tân were throwing out potential names to each other out front on the sidewalk one day before they opened. "Each one of us was coming up with a worse name than the other," he says, half-jokingly. One of them suggested looking at titles from Sun-Ra, a musician they both like. One of his songs is called "Medicine for a Nightmare." It clicked for them instantly.   Then we talk about the growing call to ban books in the US. In my opinion, simply opening for business and turning the lights on is an act of defiance for Josiah and Tân. He goes on to state that they're well aware that they could be shut down and/or arrested every day. He says they get harassing phone calls from time to time, in fact.   We end the episode with Josiah's thoughts about our theme on Storied: San Francisco this season—Keep It Local.   Medicine for Nightmares 3036 24th Street Sunday 12-9pm / Monday 12:30-9 pm Tuesday–Thursday 12:30-10pm Friday 12:30-11pm Saturday 12-11pm @medicinefornightmares (415) 824-1761   Photography by Mason J.

Painting US Empire: Nineteenth-Century Art and Its Legacies (University of Chicago Press, 2025) by Dr. Maggie Cao is the first book to offer a synthetic account of art and US imperialism around the globe in the nineteenth century. In this work, art historian Dr. Cao crafts a nuanced portrait of nineteenth-century US painters' complicity with and resistance to ascendant US imperialism, offering eye-opening readings of canonical works, landscapes of polar expeditions and tropical tourism, still lifes of imported goods, genre paintings, and ethnographic portraiture. Revealing how the US empire was “hidden in plain sight” in the art of this period, Dr. Cao examines artists including Frederic Edwin Church and Winslow Homer who championed and expressed ambivalence toward the colonial project. She also tackles the legacy of US imperialism, examining Euro-American painters of the past alongside global artists of the present. Pairing each chapter with reflections on works by contemporary anticolonial artists including Tavares Strachan, Nicholas Galanin, and Yuki Kihara, Dr. Cao addresses important contemporary questions around representation, colonialism, and indigeneity. This book foregrounds an underacknowledged topic in the study of nineteenth-century US art and illuminates the ongoing ecological and economic effects of the US empire. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

A rally on Tuesday was held in support of 12 janitors who are going to their jobs at Alderney Gate on March 1st. This happened after the HRM council selected a new, non-union contractor, Imperial Cleaners. Service Employees International Union Local 2 that represents 20,000 workers around Canada were calling on HRM mayor, council and CAO to require Imperial to hire these janitors. Tina Oh, an organizer and coordinator with the union, spoke with our colleague Meig Campbell. A statement from the city to CBC says: On Feb. 28, 2025, the Halifax Regional Municipality received notice that a judicial review has been filed by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 2 on the matter of janitorial services for Alderney Gate. As this matter is now before the courts, no additional information or comment is available at this time.

In the eyes of the Chinese Communist Party, loving Jesus makes Christians “unpatriotic.” Bob Fu, founder and president of China Aid, explains: “[The communists believe] you cannot love your country and love Jesus.” Absolute government control of churches and other religious institutions continues to tighten in China as persecuted Christians are unwilling to comply with the doctrines of the Communist Party, which is expanding efforts to “Sinicize” the church. Listen to hear how pastors and church leaders are now being charged with fraud or other financial crimes, rather than charges relating to religion. Bob Fu, author of God's Double Agent, will also share an update on John Cao, who was released from prison last year but still is not free. The CCP continues to watch Cao's every move, yet he continues to serve the Lord through a house church, daily prayer meetings, and a small Bible school — even baptizing new believers despite constant surveillance! Pastor Wang Yi is now six years into his nine-year prison sentence. Like Richard Wurmbrand, who founded The Voice of the Martyrs and wrote hundreds of sermons in his head during his 14 years in prison, Wang Yi has written three books in prison. Wang also continues to pray daily through more than a thousand items on his prayer list. If you'd like to write letters of encouragement to Christian prisoners or petition their governments, go to www.PrisonerAlert.com. Listen as Bob Fu shares how he stays personally encouraged despite constantly hearing of the sufferings of our spiritual family in China. He also suggests specific ways to pray for our Chinese Christian brothers and sisters. The Voice of the Martyrs recently launched a new, daily podcast; Extreme Devotion is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts. The VOM App for your smartphone or tablet will help you pray daily for persecuted Christians throughout the year, as well as giving free access to e-books, audio books, video content and feature films. Download the VOM App for your iOS or Android device today.

It's the end of the year, and time for our annual holiday break here at Mindscape. But as usual, we wrap up with a Holiday Message. This year, inspired by Joni Mitchell's "Hits" and "Misses" albums, I go through my scientific papers and talk about some of my favorites -- some of which were hits, in terms of making an impact on subsequent research, and some of which were misses by that standard. But I love them all! It's an excuse to talk about process -- how papers come to be, from the initial informal idea to sitting down and doing the work.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2024/12/23/holiday-message-hits-and-misses/Here are links to the papers I discuss in the episode.S.M.
