Ein starker Core soll Rückenschmerzen verhindern, Verletzungen reduzieren und die sportliche Leistung verbessern – doch was davon ist wissenschaftlich belegt? Wir sprechen über die Entstehung des Core-Stability-Konzepts, Planks und instabile Unterlagen, vergleichen klassisches Krafttraining mit isoliertem Stabilisationstraining und klären, wann gezieltes Core-Training tatsächlich sinnvoll ist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dominiks Buch zur pflanzenbasierten Sporternährung im UTB-Verlag: https://www.utb.de/doi/book/10.36198/9783838560328 Dominiks Gesundheitscommunity: www.gsundes-hannover.de Dominiks Online-Knie-Kurs: https://gsundes-hannover.de/knieschmerzen/ Dominiks Online-Rücken-Kurs: https://copecart.com/products/34bd5abb/checkout Marcs veganes Online-Fitness-Coaching: https://vegainer-academy.com/ Marcs Online-Kurs: https://www.copecart.com/products/a50f88f2/checkout ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Werbung: Dieser Podcast wird unterstützt von der Firma Watson Nutrition.

Verdens mest avsidesliggende øy er norsk, men det er bare et fåtall mennesker som noensinne har vært i land. Martin Rønnestad er en av dem, og han forteller om sine to uker i Norges mest usentrale utkant. Martin ble for øvrig invitert til Bouvetøya av kryptomilliardær Chun Wang som ledet ekspedisjonen hvor Norges første astronaut Jannicke Mikkelsen var med. Fra Bouvetøya sa Chun i et satelittbasert TV-intervju som Martin filmet, at han vil bli første mann til Mars. Episoden kan inneholde målrettet reklame, basert på din IP-adresse, enhet og posisjon.

In August 1997, police responded to an emergency and found a woman unconscious in a pool of blood. Thirty-five meters away, behind a temporary construction wall, her coworker Go Chun-ja lay beneath a zelkova tree undiscovered until the following morning. On the other side of Jeju Island, a near-identical crime occurred in a cafe at the same time.Find our merch here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://koreantruecrime-shop.fourthwall.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our discord today!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you enjoy Korean True Crime, please rate, follow, and send feedback!

Stepping away from a safe accounting degree to forge his own path, Malaysian content creator Ming Chun transformed his love for local food into a thriving personal brand and restaurant business. Known to his audience as the "Ayam Guy" after reviewing over 50 ayam gepuk locations, he systematically built a loyal following by sharing authentic, relatable reviews. Instead of quitting his day job on a whim, Ming Chun balanced his family's signage business with late-night editing, securing a financial buffer before going full-time. Spotting key gaps in traditional recipes like tough meat and bone hassle, he engineered a modern version featuring tender, boneless, crispy chicken thighs, which he validated through a pop-up that drew massive 5-hour queues.Now operating his storefront, Gepuklah, in Damansara Uptown, Ming Chun proves that young Malaysian professionals don't need "perfect timing" by starting small and building trust first, you can scale a side hustle into a real business.

Hello Everyone! What does it mean to dance not just for yourself, but for an entire community?In this episode of A Dancer's Mindset, Isabella sits down with Chun Wai Chan — Principal Dancer at New York City Ballet and a true trailblazer. In 2022, Chan made history by becoming the first Chinese principal dancer in NYCB's 74-year history, and since then, his perspective on what it means to perform has evolved into something far greater than the stage itself. Together, they explore what a growth mindset really looks like in the world of dance — how you stay curious, keep evolving, and never stop reaching. Chun Wai opens up about finding genuine joy in movement, even through the gruelling demands of a career at ballet's highest level. And in one of the episode's most powerful moments, he reframes stage nerves entirely — because when you're this grounded in your purpose, the absence of anxiety isn't a weakness. It's a superpower.But what makes this conversation truly special is the bigger picture Chun Wai is holding. He has become a source of hope for young dancers of different cultures and ethnicity, who tell him that his career gave them the belief that their own dreams are possible. He's not just dancing — he's opening doors, shifting representation, and showing an entire generation of Asian and Chinese dancers what is possible at the very top of the art form. This is a conversation about ambition, identity, joy, and legacy. Whether you're a dancer, an artist, or anyone who has ever had to carve out a space where one didn't exist before — this episode is for you.

[MEI Flagship Event] The U.S.–Israeli war against Iran, launched on 28 February, rapidly escalated into a broader conflict that drew Gulf states into the fray. Civilian infrastructure in Dubai, Doha, and the rest of the Arabian Peninsula was soon caught in the line of fire, transforming the crisis into a full-fledged regional war with far-reaching consequences for security, geopolitical alignments, and economic stability. Iran's subsequent closure of the Strait of Hormuz sent shockwaves through global energy markets and threatened critical trade routes, with South-east Asia bearing the brunt of the turmoil. Against this backdrop, the Middle East Institute's Annual Conference 2026 will convene three expert-led panels to examine the war's global repercussions. The discussions assessed not only the immediate impact on the Middle East but also the broader implications for Singapore and the wider East and South-east Asian region. Mr Chan Chun Sing, Singapore's Coordinating Minister for Public Services and Minister for Defence, opened the conference.

Wayfaring: Photography in Taiwan, 1950s–1980s (Australian Centre on China in the World, 2025) explores four transformative decades of photography in Taiwan, tracing its evolution amid the island's emergence from Japanese colonialism and integration into Nationalist China, largely under martial law (1949–87). Through a dozen richly illustrated essays and interviews, the book bridges the gap between vigorous Chinese-language scholarship on photography in Taiwan and its limited representation in English. Essays on photographers in the 1950s–60s, including Long Chin-San (Lang Jingshan) (1892-1995), Deng Nan-Guang (1907-1971), Chang Chao-Tang (1943-2024), Liu An-Ming (1928-2022), Hwang Pai-Chi (b. 1931), Hsu Yuan-Fu (1932-2018) and Tsai Hui-Feng (1928-2005), reveal photography's pivotal role in documenting ‘local' culture and shaping cultural identity, while challenging ideas of ‘amateur' and ‘realist' practices and recognising the importance of transnational connections. Meanwhile, essays on Hsu Jen-Shiu (b.1946), Lin Bo-Liang (b. 1952), Kao Chung-Li (b. 1958), Lien Hui-Ling (b. 1961) and Hou Tsung-Hui (b. 1960), along with interviews sharing the firsthand experiences of Liu Chen-Hsiang (b.1963), Lulu Shur-tzy Hou (1962-2023) and Yao Jui-Chung (b.1969), highlight the experience of photography in 1970s–80s Taiwan, as both witness and agent of social transformation, addressing issues such as environmental protection, mental health and gender politics, as well as being a crucial vehicle for the transdisciplinary nature of contemporary art, theatre, cinema and performance in Taiwan at that time. Chen Shuxia is a historian and curator of Chinese art. Her research concerns art collectives, diasporic artistic practice, and reciprocal relations between people and objects. Her most recent books include Wayfaring: Photography in Taiwan, 1950s–1980s (2025), Chinese Toggles: Culture in Miniature (2024) and A Home for Photography Learning: the Friday Salon, 1977-1980 (2024). Her most recent curated exhibitions include “Merchants of Haymarket: the Making of Sydney's Chinatown” (2026), “The trace is not a presence…” (2025), “Chinese Toggles: Culture in Miniature” (2024).

Ó Learphoill go cathair Londain - is fada scéal an imirce go Sasana. Leis an glúnta, chuir easpa deiseanna sa tír seo iachall ar dhaoine imeacht, agus ba í an Bhreatain an chéad stad do cuid mhaith acu agus iad ag cuartú saol níos fearr dóibh féin. Le linn an chéad seo caite, bhí na hÉireannaigh ag croílár tionscadail tógála sa Bhreatain, ach taobh leis an obair sin, bhí leithcheal, imeallú agus droch-chlú a lean iad ar feadh i bhfad. Mar sin, cén tionchar a bhí ag an imeallú seo ar na pobail Éireannacha ar fud na Breataine? Agus cén chuma a bhí ar an saol i ndáiríre dóibh siúd a rinne an turas trasna Mhuir Éireann? Tá taispeantas nua san Epic Museum i mBaile Átha Cliath a dhéanann iniúchadh ar na ceisteanna seo agus ar scéal na n-imirceach i Sasana. Chun an stair seo a fhiosrú, labhair Seachtain leis an staraí eacnamaíochta Cormac Ó Gráda - duine acu siúd atá taobh thiar den taighde don taispeantas seo - le súil siar a chaitheamh ar shaol na nÉireannach i Sasana.

The Man in the High Castle is a dark, often uneasy look at what might have been with so many likelihoods. I had the honor and pleasure to sit down with Arnold Chun who portrays “Kotomichi” a character who was the quiet heart of that show. He and I peeled back the onion to reveal the concept of the show and the brilliant mind of the creator. Although there is a fine line between what is real and what is the alternate timeline, the line is not invisible, and this show is the prime example of what could happen if that line is crossed. I cannot empathize enough how much I love this show; it's the ensemble of actors, the dialogue, the story line, the plot twists, the what ifs, the production and more importantly, how this series changed everything we knew about that era. Overall, it is a magnificent work of science fiction and alternate history, meaning it imagines a scenario where historical events played out differently.The Man in the High Castle is now streaming on Netflix, Prime Video, and Apple TV.

Alex Chun already knew the management team at NEOGOV long before he became its CFO. As an investor at Warburg Pincus, he spent more than four years “in the trenches” with NEOGOV's leadership team, flying to Los Angeles to work through operational challenges alongside them, Chun tells us.His path to finance leadership did not begin in accounting or FP&A. Instead, Chun spent nearly a decade evaluating companies at Morgan Stanley, General Atlantic, and Warburg Pincus, developing what he calls “pattern recognition” by analyzing “dozens, if not hundreds” of businesses, Chun tells us.That investor mindset now shapes how he leads finance. After joining NEOGOV in 2021, Chun focused on transforming finance into the company's “centralized insights engine,” bringing quantitative discipline beyond the finance department and into sales, customer operations, and product decision-making, Chun tells us.He contrasts the polished presentations of boardrooms with the reality of operations, where even changing the pricing of a product can require “90 steps” across multiple teams, Chun tells us.Today, Chun is equally focused on AI's impact across the business. At NEOGOV, teams are using AI to analyze customer conversations, automate workflows, and rethink scalability itself, Chun tells us.

In this episode of The Operational Arch, hosts Spencer Bates and DJ Taylor sit down with Lieutenant General Chun In-bum (Ret.), former commander of the Republic of Korea Special Warfare Forces and U.S. Army War College graduate, for a wide-ranging conversation on the enduring U.S.-ROK alliance. General Chun explores the deep historical, cultural, and security ties that bind the two nations — from Korea's democratic founding under American mentorship to the shared sacrifices of the Vietnam War. The discussion shifts to the operational challenges of the Korean Peninsula, including terrain, deterrence, the importance of adaptive planning, and the combined Second Infantry Division as a model for allied partnership. The episode closes with a sobering look at North Korea's battlefield performance in Ukraine, the growing Russia-DPRK relationship, and General Chun's call for greater focus on civil-military relations and cognitive warfare as the defining challenges of the modern era. 0:00     Guest Introduction & Overview— Introduction of Lt.

In this episode of Behaviour Speak, Ben sits down with Hong Chun Tan and Alexa Goh to explore the rapid development of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) in Malaysia. What began as parent-led initiatives has evolved into a coordinated national effort—complete with certification pathways, university programs, and a growing professional community. Hong and Alexa share the behind-the-scenes story of forming the Malaysia Association for Behaviour Analysis (MABA), developing national standards, launching the first graduate-level ABA program in Southeast Asia, and introducing the MCBA (Malaysia Certified Behaviour Analyst) credential. They also discuss the cultural, logistical, and ethical considerations of building ABA infrastructure in a unique regional context—and what other countries can learn from Malaysia's approach.

How Taiwan rose to global prominence in high tech manufacturing, from computer maker to the world's leading chip manufacturer. How did Taiwan, a former Japanese colony and the last fortress of the defeated Chinese Nationalists, ascend to such heights in high-tech manufacturing? In Island Tinkerers: Innovation and Transformation in the Making of Taiwan's Computing Industry (MIT Press, 2024), Honghong Tinn tells the critical history of how hobbyists and enthusiasts in Taiwan, including engineers, technologists, technocrats, computer users, and engineers-turned-entrepreneurs, helped transform the country with their hands-on engagement with computers. Rather than engaging in wholesale imitation of US sources, she explains, these technologists tinkered with imported computing technology and experimented with manufacturing their own versions, resulting in their own brand of successful innovation. Defying the stereotype of “the West innovates, and the East imitates,” Tinn tells the story of Taiwanese technologists' efforts over the past six decades. Beginning in the 1960s, they grappled with the “black-boxed” computers that were newly available through international technical-aid programs. Shortly after, multinational corporations that outsourced transistor and integrated circuit assembly overseas began employing Taiwanese engineers and factory workers. Island tinkerers developed strategies to adapt, modify, assemble, and work with computers in an inventive manner. It was through this creative and ingenious tinkering with computers that they were able to gain a better understanding of the technology, opening the door to future manufacturing endeavors that now include Acer, Foxconn, Asus, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). Honghong Tinn is Assistant Professor in the Program in the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.

How Taiwan rose to global prominence in high tech manufacturing, from computer maker to the world's leading chip manufacturer. How did Taiwan, a former Japanese colony and the last fortress of the defeated Chinese Nationalists, ascend to such heights in high-tech manufacturing? In Island Tinkerers: Innovation and Transformation in the Making of Taiwan's Computing Industry (MIT Press, 2024), Honghong Tinn tells the critical history of how hobbyists and enthusiasts in Taiwan, including engineers, technologists, technocrats, computer users, and engineers-turned-entrepreneurs, helped transform the country with their hands-on engagement with computers. Rather than engaging in wholesale imitation of US sources, she explains, these technologists tinkered with imported computing technology and experimented with manufacturing their own versions, resulting in their own brand of successful innovation. Defying the stereotype of “the West innovates, and the East imitates,” Tinn tells the story of Taiwanese technologists' efforts over the past six decades. Beginning in the 1960s, they grappled with the “black-boxed” computers that were newly available through international technical-aid programs. Shortly after, multinational corporations that outsourced transistor and integrated circuit assembly overseas began employing Taiwanese engineers and factory workers. Island tinkerers developed strategies to adapt, modify, assemble, and work with computers in an inventive manner. It was through this creative and ingenious tinkering with computers that they were able to gain a better understanding of the technology, opening the door to future manufacturing endeavors that now include Acer, Foxconn, Asus, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).

As we enter one of the most powerful energetic shifts of the year, this episode explores a question many people ask — when does the Chinese New Year energy actually begin? In this episode of Smashing Secrets Feng Shui, Jo breaks down the important difference between Li Chun (the Solar Chinese New Year) and the Lunar Chinese New Year celebrations, explaining why Feng Shui and Chinese astrology follow different timelines — and what that means for your luck, home and personal energy as we enter the Year of the Fire Horse. We explore the energetic influence of the Metal Tiger month, how strong Fire energy is shaping 2026, and which Chinese zodiac signs and home directions may experience the biggest shifts this February. Jo also shares key Flying Star Feng Shui updates, highlighting which areas of the home may attract prosperity, success and opportunity — and which sectors should be kept calm to avoid conflict, stress or misfortune. You'll also learn practical Feng Shui adjustments you can make this month, including: ✨ Which home sectors attract wealth and recognition in 2026 ✨ Zodiac signs likely to experience major opportunity and growth ✨ Flying Star changes happening from Li Chun onwards ✨ Feng Shui cures and enhancements to balance strong Fire and Metal clashes ✨ How to work with Tiger month energy for courage, protection and momentum ✨ Why you don't need to “reset” your Feng Shui during Lunar New Year celebrations Whether you're new to Chinese astrology or already follow Feng Shui cycles, this episode will help you understand how the Fire Horse year energy is already influencing your environment and personal path. If you'd like a personalised Feng Shui or BaZi reading, Jo also shares how you can get in touch for consultations or submit questions for future episodes.

Content note: This episode includes candid discussion of sexuality, trauma, and intimate bodily experiences.SYNOPSIS: In this rich and deeply human - and live event – conversation, Ali Mezey is joined by somatic sex educator and bodyworker Rahi Chun for an unscripted exploration of sexuality, trauma, pleasure, and the innate intelligence of the body. Together, they challenge symptom-focused approaches to sexual “dysfunction” and invite a more holistic understanding of libido, arousal, orgasm, and genital response as meaningful expressions of lived experience, safety, and relational history.Drawing from decades of professional and personal work, Ali and Rahi explore how early touch, attachment, trauma, shame, and cultural conditioning shape our sexual bodies – often long before sexuality itself is consciously understood. They discuss erectile challenges, orgasmic blocks, genital guarding, compulsive desire, pleasure ceilings, and the deep nervous-system need for safety that underlies sexual expression across all genders.Through stories, client examples, and embodied inquiry, the episode illuminates how patterns of arousal and shutdown are not failures, but adaptive strategies – and how making them conscious can open new pathways for choice, intimacy, and authentic pleasure. This conversation is a powerful invitation to move beyond performance, diagnosis, and shame, and toward a sexuality rooted in presence, agency, and embodied authenticity.In wanting to keep their anonymity, several attendees submitted questions and comments via chat.Rahi on my podcast: The Disarmed Body: Sexual De-Armoring with Sexological Bodyworker, Rahi ChunAli on Rahi's podcast: Your "Sex Problem" Isn't Sexual: It's Relational Geometry with Ali MezeyFOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeTo read more about the next Personal Geometry® Foundations training FOR MORE RAHI CHUNBIO: Rahi combines his training and experience as a CA state-certified Somatic Sex Educator and Sexological Bodyworker, Certified TRE Provider, NeuroAffective Touch Practitioner, Life Coach with an M.A. in Spiritual Psychology, with certifications in Family Constellations Therapy, DeArmouring Arts, Chi Nei Tsang & Karsai Nei Tsang, and STREAM (Scar Tissue Remediation and Management) in his facilitation of Somatic Sexual Wholeness.  His expertise is in the art of Genital Dearmouring having trained practitioners worldwide.  Hundreds have also graduated from his signature online course, "The 3 Keys to Genital Dearmouring" or via his live trainings and workshops.  SITE:  https://somaticsexualwholeness.com/.

Family Constellation Work brief explanationBert Hellinger, founder of Family/Systemic Constellation WorkFive-films series (made by Ali Mezey) on Stephan's work with transgenerational influences on illnessNeuroAffective Touch® – A somatic therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Aline LaPierre that uses attuned, body-focused touch to help integrate emotional, relational, and developmental experiences stored in the body. It bridges the gap between mind and body to support healing where words alone may not reach. What Is NeuroAffective Touch®?Inorgasmia (In-orgasmia) – A term used to describe the inability to reach orgasm despite adequate stimulation and desire. It can have physical, psychological, relational, or somatic contributors and is distinct from general low libido.Genital De-Armoring – A somatic concept referring to the process of releasing muscular and nervous system defensesin the pelvic and genital regions that have developed in response to trauma, fear, or shut-down responses. It supports increased sensation, relaxation, and fuller access to pleasure and bodily presence.“La Petite Mort” – A French expression meaning “the little death,” traditionally used metaphorically to describe the sensations of release, surrender, and altered consciousness that can accompany orgasm. The phrase highlights the powerful emotional and physical release inherent in sexual climax.Ellen Heed: Embodied Autonomy; Scar Tissue Remediation expert“Things that fire together wire together” – A popular paraphrase of the principle from neuroscience and psychology often attributed to Hebbian learning, meaning that neurons that activate together strengthen their connections, forming lasting patterns in the brain and nervous system. It's widely used to explain how habitual patterns (emotional, cognitive, somatic) become embedded over time.Ivan Pavlov & the Dog Experiments – Ivan Pavlov was a Russian physiologist best known for discovering classical conditioning through his experiments with dogs. He observed that dogs would begin to salivate not only when food was presented, but also in response to neutral stimuli (like a bell) once those stimuli were repeatedly paired with food. This demonstrated how the nervous system learns through association—how experiences that occur together become linked. Pavlov's work laid the foundation for understanding how emotional, behavioral, and somatic patterns are formed, and why repeated pairings of sensation, emotion, and meaning can shape lifelong responses in the body.

Few people understand what actually goes on inside China's politics better than him - how decisions and policies are made and what drives those who make them. We talk about what does Xi and other people in the communist party leadership actually believe in, what do they want, what are their deepest fears and what do they really want to achieve. About how China changed by Xi dismantling the collective decision making system, about whether China has a grand strategy to become the number one superpower or whether it's just improvising, how Beijing thinks about confrontation with the United States or what the purges in the Chinese military reveal about its confidence and preparedness to take military action - and much more.

Last month, the "Billing Boys"—Chris Jones and Phil Rodgers—joined the GeriPal podcast to demystify medical billing and coding in palliative care. This month, we're back with part two, shifting the focus to geriatrics. While billing and coding may not be the most exciting topic, they're essential for ensuring fair reimbursement for the complex care we provide and for supporting the work of our interprofessional teams, many of whom can't bill directly for their services. When we underbill or leave money on the table, we not only shortchange ourselves but also devalue the critical role of geriatrics in the healthcare system. This time, we're joined by experts Peter Hollmann, Ken Koncilja, and Audrey Chun to dive into key questions: Why does billing matter, and who does it benefit? What's the difference between CPT, E&M, and ICD-10 codes (if you need a refresher, check out our chat with the Billing Boys here)? We explore how to think about billing for complexity versus time, and unpack new and impactful codes like the Cognitive Assessment and Care Plan Services code (99483), advance care planning (ACP) billing codes, and G2211, which acknowledges the added work of managing patients with chronic conditions. We also highlight the new APCM G-codes for 2025, a set of HCPCS codes that could provide substantial financial support for interdisciplinary teams in geriatrics. Finally, we discuss the advocacy behind these codes. The American Geriatrics Society (AGS) plays a vital role on the AMA's RUC committee, helping to improve reimbursement for the complex care of older adults. Tune in to this week's GeriPal podcast for expert advice, practical strategies, and insights that will help you optimize your billing practices and sustain the future of geriatrics! Here are some of the resources we also talked about: The physician fee schedule look up tool Wwere you can find out CMS expected charge based off where you practice AGS's annual coding update Geriatrics at Your Fingertips, which has a one-pager on billing Medicare Claims Processing Manual

En Corea del Sur, un crimen estremeció a todo el país. Un hombre atacó brutalmente a su víctima cortándola en 358 partes durante 6 horas… mientras la policía escuchaba TODO sin intervenir. Lo más perturbador llegó después: las autoridades descubrieron que hizo todo esto para convertir el cuerpo de su víctima, una joven de 28 años, en “pastillas de carne humana” para vender en el mercado rojo. Un caso tan oscuro que parece imposible que haya ocurrido de verdad.
