Podcasts about Deng

In this episode we're talking to Deng. Deng has been a creative consultant in the advertising industry for over 20 years. Deng tells us stories about her childhood home, which turned out to be worst kind of energy magnet ever, how she had her third eye closed by a feng shui master up in the mountains of China, an angry tree spirit in her former workplace, and a doppelganger posing as officemate that their poor kuya guard up and quit. Grimcast Manila is a podcast of creepy stories from around the metro. Hosted by self-confessed scaredy-cat Antonette, the show invites a series of guests to come tell their ghost stories and other creepy tales. From things that go bump in the night to ghosts that seem to want to tag along, Grimcast features tales of real first-hand experiences.  Grimcast Manila is produced, recorded, and distributed by Big Baby Studios.

Tonight on The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian is joined by Charles Burton, Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and one of Canada's foremost experts on China. A former diplomat at our embassy in Beijing and longtime professor at Brock University, Charles brings decades of experience studying China's political evolution, security strategy, and its growing influence on Western democracies. Together they discuss his upcoming book, "The Beaver and the Dragon: How China Outmaneuvered Canada's Diplomacy, Security, and Sovereignty", exploring how Canada's policies toward China have evolved — from early optimism during the reform era to today's growing concerns over espionage, human rights, and global power shifts.Charles shares vivid memories from his time in China during the Mao and Deng years, offers insight into the fate of democratic movements after Tiananmen Square, and reflects on the lessons Canada must learn to defend its independence and democratic institutions."The Beaver and the Dragon" launches October 21.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8325CINA, CENSURA TOTALE PER I SACERDOTI IN INTERNET di Bernardo Tombari Niente religione su internet, tranne per i siti web autorizzati delle confessioni che accettano i valori socialisti e la sinicizzazione. È il nuovo "Codice di condotta su internet" per preti e ministri di culto in Cina, pubblicato dal Dipartimento per gli Affari religiosi. "Il clero religioso non deve diffondere idee religiose o indurre minorenni alla fede religiosa tramite internet, né organizzare la partecipazione dei minori a formazione religiosa, campi estivi (o invernali), né organizzare o costringere i minori a partecipare ad attività religiose" recita l'articolo 10 del codice. Vietate anche raccolte fondi, predicazioni o celebrazioni religiose online.Non è chiaro quali siano le pene, il codice dichiara solo che il Dipartimento per gli Affari religiosi contatterà il clero che violerà il codice, perché "apporti correzioni entro un limite di tempo", e qualora questo non accada verrà punito "secondo le leggi e i regolamenti amministrativi pertinenti". L'obiettivo è evitare "contenuti che incitano alla sovversione del potere statale" o "attività di infiltrazione religiosa straniera". Un modo per dire che il Partito comunista cinese è disposto ad accettare Dio, se è un dio abbastanza piccolo da poter essere sottoposto allo stato e all'ideologia socialista, da poter stare in un angolo senza dare fastidio. La Santa Sede ha rinnovato l'anno scorso l'Accordo Provvisorio con la Repubblica Popolare Cinese, che sarà quindi attivo fino al 2028 salvo ulteriori rinnovi (l'intesa è arrivata nel 2018 ed è stata poi rinnovata tre volte).L'Accordo riguardava soprattutto le nomine dei vescovi, per mettere fine a decenni di ordinazioni illecite senza il consenso papale. Dagli anni '50 infatti, i vescovi in Cina venivano eletti dall'Associazione patriottica cattolica cinese, quindi sotto il controllo dello stato. Era stato dichiarato però anche l'obiettivo di un "dialogo costruttivo" tra la Chiesa e il governo del Paese. Le restrizioni sempre crescenti e le intrusioni di Pechino, o in alcuni casi addirittura decisione autonome, nelle nomine o nella creazione o rimozioni di diocesi non sembrano però andare in quella direzione.Anche il Segretario di Stato Parolin ha ammesso che l'accordo sta "procedendo lentamente, a volte anche facendo un passo indietro". Le nuove restrizioni per l'attività online non sono esclusivamente per il Cristianesimo, anzi, sono probabilmente più mirate verso sette come il Falun Gong, ma è facile immaginare che ci vadano di mezzo anche quegli influencer cristiani che rifiutano l'idolatria dello Stato e non vogliono un Dio "sinizzato" o socialista, perché sanno che Cristo non è venuto per portare pace, ma spada.Nota di BastaBugie: Stefano Magni nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "Jimmy Lai, ultimo atto. L'editore cattolico dissidente rischia la morte" parla della storia di Jimmy Lai. Il figlio Sebastien Lai sarà ospite della prossima Giornata della Bussola, il 25 ottobre 2025, e ritirerà il premio "Fatti per la Verità" assegnato a suo padre.Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana il 16 agosto 2025:Arrestato nell'agosto del 2020, in carcere dal dicembre successivo, sotto processo dal 2023 per motivi puramente politici. Jimmy Lai, imprenditore ed editore cattolico di Hong Kong, lunedì riceverà la sentenza che deciderà della sua vita. Ha 77 anni, salute malferma e rischia di morire in carcere. Per il figlio, Sebastien*, una condanna a una lunga pena detentiva equivarrebbe a una sentenza di morte. Eppure, fino a cinque anni fa, Jimmy Lai era uno degli uomini più ricchi e rispettati di tutta l'Asia. Personalmente incarna la tragedia di una città che non si arrende mentre finisce sotto il giogo della Cina comunista.L'udienza finale del processo Lai avrebbe dovuto tenersi la settimana scorsa, ma è stata rimandata per due volte. La prima volta a causa del tifone che ha colpito la costa sudorientale cinese. La seconda perché la corte ha accolto la richiesta della difesa di Lai, che chiede assistenza medica per l'imputato. Lunedì un'auto medica sarà pronta a intervenire e il cuore di Jimmy Lai sarà monitorato in diretta. L'anziano imprenditore ha trascorso più di 1700 giorni in isolamento. La sua salute ne ha risentito drammaticamente, nell'ultima udienza, quando è stato accolto il rinvio, è apparso visibilmente dimagrito e sofferente.Intervistato dalla Bbc, Sebastien Lai dichiara che anche se suo padre ricevesse la pena più mite di cinque anni, la sua vita sarebbe a rischio: «Praticamente sarebbe una sentenza di morte. Data la sua età e la sua salute, sì, morirà in prigione», dice alla Tv pubblica britannica, perché «Il suo corpo sta collassando». Sebastien Lai sta chiedendo al premier britannico Keir Starmer e al presidente americano Donald Trump di agire in fretta per la sua salvezza. Trump ha dichiarato, a proposito di Lai, che farà «tutto il possibile» per ottenerne la liberazione. Lai è cittadino britannico dal 1996 e la sua morte in una galera cinese a Hong Kong sarebbe una sconfitta per Londra. «Noi, come nazione (nel Regno Unito, ndr) non ci saremmo battuti per uno dei nostri più coraggiosi cittadini, quando sarebbe stato importante farlo».Jimmy Lai non è nato a Hong Kong, ma nella Cina comunista, a Canton, alla vigilia della presa del potere da parte di Mao Zedong. I suoi genitori, borghesi benestanti, sono stati spogliati di tutto all'epoca delle prime collettivizzazioni. Da bambino, Jimmy Lai doveva sfamarsi con lavoretti, come portatore di bagagli alla stazione di Canton. Fu l'occasione per conoscere gente che proveniva dal "mondo esterno", una rivelazione per chi era nato e cresciuto nella miseria più nera della Cina maoista. E fu in quel periodo che decise di rischiare il tutto e per tutto pur di fuggire, da clandestino, nascosto in un peschereccio diretto a Hong Kong, allora isola britannica.Anche a Hong Kong, ottenuto l'asilo politico, fece lavori umili finché, da operaio tessile che era, non divenne imprenditore tessile. E fondò la sua impresa di moda, la Giordano. Divenuto milionario e uomo d'affari di successo, vendeva i suoi vestiti anche nella Cina continentale, grazie alle prime riforme di mercato di Deng. Ma nel 1989 rimase scottato dalla repressione di Piazza Tienanmen. Fu allora che decise di affiancare, alla sua attività imprenditoriale, anche quella di attivista dei diritti umani, contro il regime comunista cinese. Pechino, da allora, lo ha considerato una spina nel fianco e ha cercato, prima di boicottarlo, poi di ucciderlo, infine di eliminarlo con mezzi giudiziari.L'attività editoriale di Jimmy Lai iniziò nel 1990 con la fondazione della rivista Next, che prendeva apertamente di mira i dirigenti comunisti, sotto la protezione della libertà di stampa garantita dalla legge di Hong Kong. Nel 1993, per rappresaglia, la Cina chiuse tutti i suoi negozi. Ma nel 1995, invece che piegarsi, Lai fondò un secondo giornale anticomunista, il quotidiano Apple Daily, che ben presto divenne uno dei più letti di Hong Kong.Il regime di Pechino prese molto sul serio le critiche e le inchieste di Next e Apple Daily. Tanto che nel 2008 un anonimo milionario cinese, a Hong Kong, pagò l'equivalente di un milione di dollari un sicario per uccidere Jimmy Lai e il deputato Martin Lee. Il complotto per assassinare l'imprenditore dissidente e il politico democratico, fallì con l'arresto del killer e con la sua condanna, quando la giustizia di Hong Kong non era ancora politicizzata. Nel 2013 degli anonimi aggressori sfondarono la porta della casa di Jimmy Lai con un'auto e lasciarono un'ascia e un machete, come segni intimidatori. Nelle manifestazioni del novembre 2014, Lai subì l'aggressione fisica di militanti filo-Pechino. E nel gennaio 2015 sia la casa dell'editore che la sede di Next vennero attaccate con bombe incendiarie.Queste pesanti intimidazioni non fermarono Jimmy Lai che, dal 1997, si era convertito al cattolicesimo. Anzi, ne rafforzarono la determinazione, religiosa e politica, a continuare a lottare. I comunisti cinesi hanno però trovato il modo di silenziarlo, solo quando hanno messo le mani direttamente su Hong Kong, ponendo fine alla sua autonomia. Come risposta alle manifestazioni di massa pro-democrazia dell'estate 2019, approfittando del lockdown dei primi mesi della pandemia di Covid-19, Pechino impose alla città la sua Legge sulla sicurezza nazionale, con cui può arrestare e processare cittadini per reati politici. Jimmy Lai venne arrestato nell'agosto 2020, mentre la polizia irrompeva nella sede di Apple Daily. L'accusa era quella di aver "cospirato con potenze straniere" ai danni degli interessi nazionali cinesi.Dopo aver arrestato Lai, le autorità di Pechino hanno anche spento la voce della sua più importante creatura editoriale. Con un raid in diretta televisiva, 500 poliziotti hanno fatto irruzione nella sede dell'Apple Daily, il 17 giugno 2021, arrestando cinque dirigenti e sequestrando computer e hard disk. Le autorità di Hong Kong, al tempo stesso, sequestravano l'equivalente di 2 milioni e mezzo di dollari alla casa editrice e alle imprese ad essa collegate, rendendo di fatto impossibile la sopravvivenza del quotidiano. Che infatti dovette chiudere i battenti appena una settimana dopo.Jimmy Lai non si è mai arreso, non ha mai scelto la via dell'esilio dorato (anche se ha avuto tutto il modo e il tempo per poterlo fare), si è fatto arrestare, continua a dichiararsi innocente e a battersi nel processo che lo vede imputato. In una delle ultime interviste rilasciate da uomo libero aveva dichiarato, all'agenzia Reuters, «Sono arrivato qui senza n

Fresh out of the studio, Yuying Deng, Co-founder and CEO of Esevel, shares her transformative journey from corporate lawyer to healthcare operator to tech entrepreneur with our guest host Yana Fry from Yana TV. Yuying discusses how the pandemic's sudden shift to remote work in April 2020 revealed critical gaps in IT infrastructure for distributed teams, inspiring her to launch Esevel—a platform now serving companies across 88 countries. Yuying challenges the traditional HQ-centric worldview, advocating that "HQ should be a mindset, not a location," and shares how Esevel deliberately builds leadership opportunities for talented professionals regardless of whether they're based in Manila, Singapore, or São Paulo. Last but not least, Yuying shares what great would look like for Esevel's future: becoming the indispensable tool companies think of first when scaling global teams, while proving that talent and performance matter more than location."Many companies that say they do distributed and remote work actually still have a very HQ-centric worldview. That means leadership is in HQ, strategy is formed in HQ, and high-impact jobs are in the HQ as well. So when they hire remote and distributed teams. For example, in the Philippines, Brazil, and India they use these more as back-office functions. So you have very talented people who join them there, thinking that they could rise in a global company. But very soon they find that they hit a glass ceiling and are no longer able to advance, and so they move on to another firm. I think that's a massive waste of talent, especially if you're talking about here in Asia. This is the world's fastest-growing region. People are ambitious, people are bright, and they are able to take on leadership positions if they're given the opportunity to. This is one thing that we have really tried to reverse at Esevel. You do not have to be at HQ in order to rise into a leadership position. As long as you perform your job and perform it well, we look at performance more than location. So I think that is one thing that has to shift: HQ shouldn't be a location. HQ should actually be a mindset. And I think that's something that a lot of remote companies or distributed work companies have correct when it comes to that." - Deng YuyingEpisode Highlights:[00:00] Quote of the Day by Deng Yuying[02:00] Introducing Yuying Deng, CEO of Esevel[02:25] From lawyer to operator to founder[03:32] MBA at INSEAD shaped entrepreneurial journey[03:53] Built community care division for Orange Valley[04:24] Family business dynamics and PE exit lessons[05:44] Esevel: IT operations platform for distributed teams[07:56] Company DNA shaped by pandemic remote work[08:38] Importance of staying close to customer problems[10:16] Managing operations across 88 countries globally[12:39] Failure is a feature, not a bug[14:33] Operational complexity and doing boring work well[16:35] Future of hybrid and remote work[19:48] HQ should be a mindset not location[21:25] Characteristics needed for remote work success[22:40] Growth opportunities regardless of employee location[24:58] Founding a company is like raising child[26:52] No perfect time for major life decisions[29:31] Ethical principles learned from parents[30:33] Vision for Esevel and family independence[32:28] Partnership requires mutual support for success[35:48] Rising through adversity with determination[36:34] Legacy focused on happy, independent childrenProfile: Yuying Deng, CEO of Esevel: https://esevel.comLinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yuyingdeng/Guest Host: Yana Fry from Yana TV:  https://www.youtube.com/@yanatvsgLinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yanafry/Podcast Information: Bernard Leong hosts and produces the show.

Host Anne Thompson explores the diverse and innovative methods being employed in Australia to build and retain the technical workforce in the mining industry.  From attracting new talent, to supporting early career geoscientists, to training professionals from other industries - this episode might just change your perspective on what is possible.First up, Brendan Howard, General Manager for Technical Capability at Rio Tinto and a founder of the MiEX (Minerals Industry Experience) Program, addresses the mining sector's shrinking and less diverse talent pipeline. The success of MiEX, a collaborative industry-led program, highlights the value of early engagement with undergraduate students. The pilot in January 2025 drew over 500 applicants for 69 places with 90% of participants expressing intent to pursue mining careers.  New conversations are underway in North America to bring this exciting opportunity to more students.Richard Lilly, the University of Adelaide presents NExUS (National Exploration Undercover School) based in South Australia, which provides hands-on experience and essential training to geoscience students, bridging the gap between academic knowledge and industry requirements. NExUS combines technical learning with professional networking, using the South Australian Drill Core Library and nearby field sites to expose students to geophysics, core logging, and exploration through cover. Lilly is now stepping down after 10 years as Director, with the hope that this successful model will continue and be expanded to other jurisdictions to better prepare geoscientists for evolving exploration challenges.Lastly, Deng Ngang Deng, from Target Mining Resources, shares his inspiring journey from South Sudan to professional geoscientist in Western Australia.  Deng was involved in establishing the Pan Africa Resource Reporting Code (PARC) and an invited plenary speaker at SEG 2024 in Namibia. At home in Australia, he has developed an innovative approach to training and employing geoscientists and other technical mining workers.  Initiated during the pandemic, the company continues to expand and add to their portfolio of skills they train for, successfully filling a gap in mining recruitment.Many thanks to Avo Media for production support.  Theme music is Confluence by Eastwindseastwindsmusic.com

Hur mår den svenska järnvägen? Är den sjuk eller frisk? Vetenskapsradion tar tempen på det svenska järnvägsnätet. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Programmet sändes första gången 13/5 – 2025.Det var på Valborgsmässoafton 1855 i Skaveryd, i närheten av Alingsås, som man satte spaden i jorden för att påbörja Sveriges första järnvägsbygge, sedan följde en intensiv utbyggnad och under första hälften av 1900-talet så var järnvägen utbyggd ungefär så som vi känner den i dag.Och faktum är att det till stora delar är samma järnväg som vi fortfarande åker på som man gjorde för 100 år sedan. Naturligtvis är en hel material utbytt men inte tillräckligt tycker Sebastian Stichel som är järnvägsforskare på Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan:”Egentligen skulle man behöva stänga av, sträcka för sträcka, och byta ut alla komponenter och börja med en modern ny järnväg”Vi besöker Järnvägsmuseet i Gävle för att få reda den svenska järnvägens historia, vi får träffa en rallare som var med och byggde Inlandsbanan mellan mellan Dorotea-Storuman och Sorsele och vi får veta hur man bygger en järnväg.Medverkande: Henrik Reuterdahl, Järnvägsmuseet i Gävle, och Sebastian Stichel, järnvägsforskare på Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan.Reporter: Joacim Lindwalljoacim.lindwall@sr.seProducent: Lars Broströmlars.brostrom@sr.se

Een Betrouwbare Bronnen-aflevering opgenomen in het Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, samen met het Arethusa Quartet. Een experiment: hoe kun je de identiteit van Betrouwbare Bronnen op een ongebruikelijke, eigenzinnige wijze vertolken? In veel afleveringen van deze podcast klinkt steeds weer door hoe politiek, kunst, tradities, inspiratie, muziek en de macht van heersers toen en nu met elkaar verbonden zijn. En soms grootse, maar vaak fatale prestaties opleveren. In een live-uitvoering vertellen we met de musici van het Arethusa Quartet het verhaal van de grote componist Dmitri Sjostakovitsj (1906 - 1975) in dit herdenkingsjaar. In zijn leven en werk werden zijn strijkkwartetten het ‘intiem, geheim dagboek’, vertelt Daniel Rowland, eerste violist van 'Arethusa'. Zijn muzikaal genie, zijn inspiratie, angsten, wanhoop, liefde, verzet en triomfgevoelens kon hij daarin voluit laten klinken. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger verkennen hoe leven, politiek, muziek en noodlot bij Sjostakovitsj samen kwamen. De alles overheersende figuur daarbij - voor de componist ten goede en ten kwade - was Jozef Stalin, de meedogenloze tiran, maar ook kenner en liefhebber van de klassieke muziek waarin Sjostakovitsj zo uitblonk. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt door Het Concertgebouw en met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show! In het Concertgebouw zijn de komende maanden meerdere Sjostakovitsj-uitvoeringen. Heb je belangstelling om in onze podcast te adverteren of ons te sponsoren? Zend een mailtje naar adverteren@dagennacht.nl en wij zoeken contact. *** Sjostakovitsj begon als jonge ster in een periode dat jeugdig experiment bon ton was in Rusland. Elke grote revolutie had immers zijn Beethoven nodig, dus ook deze rode. In elk repertoire schitterde hij. Zijn filmmuziek sleepte heel de Sovjet-Unie mee, zijn optimistische koren en ballades waren uitermate populair. Tegelijkertijd zag Lenin al hoe machtig film als propagandamiddel kon zijn. Politiek, heerschappij en muziek raakten meteen verstrikt. Stalin werd in 1928 alleenheerser en protegeerde de jonge musicus. Meer en meer werd Sjostakovitsj helder hoezeer privilege en gunsten van de tiran ook een gifpil waren. Het was een vloek. Een kooi met gouden tralies. In 1936 begonnen Stalins moorddadige zuiveringen. Sjostakovitsj werd symbool van die repressie toen zijn bejubelde opera 'Lady Macbeth van Mtsensk' in partijkrant de Pravda veroordeeld werd en hij voor zijn leven vreesde. Daniel Rowland vertelt aangrijpend welke doodsangsten beroemde kunstenaars in deze jaren dag en nacht beleefden. Maar toen Adolf Hitler in juni 1941 Operatie Barbarossa begon had Stalin zijn kunstenaars weer hard nodig. Zij moesten het volk bemoedigen en de grootse cultuur van Rusland naar het westen doen schitteren. Sjostakovitsj deed zijn patriottische plicht. Na de overwinning op Nazi-Duitsland was de stank voor dank van de tiran ongekend. Golven van repressie, hongersnood en een nieuwe zuivering maakten Sjostakovitsj wanhopig. Een nieuwe cultuurcampagne van de paranoïde heerser bracht hem aan de afgrond van leven en dood. Het Arethusa Quartet vertolkt de muziek waarin hij zijn wanhoop en levensmoed durfde te uiten. Stalins dood in 1953 betekende een soort dooi, maar de componist bleef doodsbenauwd en tegelijk moedig voor anderen die vervolgd werden. Nu moest hij de triomfen laten klinken van de Sovjet-Unie als wereldmacht in wording – nu met de Spoetnik-satelliet! Zijn leven kreeg een late zonnegloed door de liefde van en voor zijn Irina. Daniel Rowland vertelt over zijn bijzondere contact met haar en hoe zij het muzikale motto 'pom - pom - pom' voor hem ontraadselde. in 1974 schreef Dmitri Sjostakovitsj zijn laatste strijkkwartet in het besef dat zijn leven voorbij was.

In this episode, Dr Tsen Vei Lim speaks to Dr Wei Deng, an assistant professor from McMaster University and St Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, Canada. The interview covers the research article Wei led examining externalising as a common genetic influence for a broad spectrum of substance use and behavioural conditions using a large UK longitudinal dataset.‘Externalising' is a type of outward-directed behavioural expression, such as risky substance use, aggression, and hyperactivity. ‘Polygenic risk scores' are numbers that estimate a person's inherited risk for a disease, trait, or condition (in this case, addiction) based on the presence of many genetic variants. · Why studying genetics is important for addiction [01:12]· How we study the genetics of addiction [01:57]· Polygenic risk scores and their importance in addiction [3:49]· The origin of Wei's research questions [05:32]· The headline findings of the paper [08:06]· How the findings affect the way we currently think about addiction [09:22]· Common genetic components shared between behavioral and substances addictions [11:11]· The importance of the environment in the genetic risks of addiction [13:15]· How the findings can contribute to clinical practice [13:37]· How big data and artificial intelligence (AI) can help us understand addiction [14:42]· The exploration of whether genetic factors are the root cause of addiction [18:06]About Tsen Vei Lim: Dr Lim is an academic fellow supported by the Society for the Study of Addiction, currently based at the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge. His research integrates computational modelling, experimental psychology, and neuroimaging to understand the neuropsychological basis of addictive behaviours. He holds a PhD in Psychiatry from the University of Cambridge (UK) and a BSc in Psychology from the University of Bath (UK).About Wei Q Deng: Dr Deng is a statistical scientist who investigates how genes, brain function, and environment shape long-term health risks. Her research focuses on delay discounting and related self-regulation processes that influence decisions about health, substance use, and long-term planning. She studies how these traits contribute to addiction and chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease. Using large-scale data and molecular tools, she uncovers why some people are more vulnerable and how those risks can be reduced. Based at McMaster University and St Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, she leads interdisciplinary projects bridging genomics, behavior, and public health.Original article: Externalizing as a common genetic influence for a broad spectrum of substance use and behavioural conditions: a development perspective from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. https://doi.org/10.1111/add.70163The opinions expressed in this podcast reflect the views of the host and interviewees and do not necessarily represent the opinions or official positions of the SSA or Addiction journal.The SSA does not endorse or guarantee the accuracy of the information in external sources or links and accepts no responsibility or liability for any consequences arising from the use of such information.

On this timely and informative episode of The Member Engagement Show, Dorothy Deng, Partner at Whiteford, Taylor & Preston discusses AI and copyright law, especially as it relates to association management. There are many legal considerations for associations using AI and this is an excellent primer on the copyright fundamentals to stay safe and within the law. Topics covered include: Fundamental copyright considerations and how they that relate to AI use. The embedded principles of copyright law - human authorship and fair use. Does writing AI prompts afford you ownership of the AI output? Why you're on (a little) safer ground if your prompt includes pre-existing human created copyrighted material. Why those “This material was AI generated” labels might prevent you from having a copyright claim. Does the percentage of human vs. AI involvement in a work matter to the copyright office? How to protect yourself from unwittingly infringing on other people's copyrights. How associations should keep copyright in mind when using AI. The licensing opportunities for associations as LLMs seek higher quality data.   Some Helpful Links: The U.S. Copyright Office's Report on AI  

Xi Jinping concentrou poder como nenhum líder chinês desde Mao. Mas toda era tem um fim — e a sucessão já começou nos bastidores. Este vídeo explica por que, na China, quem controla o Exército controla o futuro, como sucessões passadas (Hua, Deng, Jiang, Hu) moldaram o país, e por que o “relógio de 2027” para Taiwan pode acelerar decisões arriscadas. Você vai entender quem são os nomes citados, por que é tão difícil “escolher” um herdeiro e como um vácuo de poder em Pequim pode sacudir mercados e segurança global.

En het is echt heel slecht geschreven, vond ook de Italiaanse journalist Benito Mussolini. Maar Mein Kampf is opnieuw actueel. De wordingsgeschiedenis, de titel, het verdienmodel en de worstelingen ermee na 1945 zijn een boek op zichzelf waard. Zonder de Britse sociaal-darwinistische schrijver Houston Stewart Chamberlain was het boek er nooit gekomen. Zijn schoonfamilie regelde zelfs dat Hitler in de cel het schrijfpapier ervoor kreeg. Jaap en PG duiken in diens merkwaardige leven, werk, netwerk en impact rond 1900 en in diens hysterische verering voor de jonge Führer. 2] Benjamin Duerr – De Droom van Den Haag (Atlas Contact, 2024) Het tweede boek gaat over de dromen van wereldvrede rond 1900 en de unieke rol daarin van Den Haag. Het begon met een jonge tsaar die zichzelf een vredesvorst waande. Zijn ministers hadden heel nuchtere, geopolitieke argumenten om decennia geen oorlogen te willen. Zijn nichtje, de net ingehuldigde koningin Wilhelmina, vond dat mystieke pacifisme maar lariekoek. Haar minister Willem Hendrik de Beaufort zat klem tussen deze twee Romanovs. Tegen vele klippen op kwamen er twee vredesconferenties op rij en Den Haag werd juist vanwege de saaiheid opvolger van Wenen 1814-1815. Niet alleen de tsaar spande zich in. Ook president Roosevelt van Amerika, zeker nadat hij een Nobelprijs kreeg voor vrede tussen militaristisch opkomend Japan en de door hen de verwoestend verslagen Russen. Die conferenties bleken verrassend productief. Het Vredespaleis kwam er. En nieuwe regels voor oorlogsrecht. 3] Sergey Radchenko – To run the world, the Kremlin’s Cold War bid for global power (Cambridge, 2024) De tsaar snakte naar vrede, maar hoe zat dat na zijn ondergang met de heersers in het Kremlin? Sergey vertelt het fascinerende verhaal van de ambities van de Sovjet-Unie en haar leiders na 1945. Over honger naar erkenning door Amerika, over de obsessie met Mao en Deng en over vrede met West-Duitsland om de EEG te breken. Het boek put uit vele archieven en inzichten die hier in het Westen nooit bekend waren. To run the world is ook een boek over duo's: rivalen die partners wilden zijn. Stalin en FDR. Mao en Chroesjtsjov. Chroesjtsjov en JFK. En vooral Nixon en Brezjnev. Met als apotheose hoe Reagan er in slaagde met Gorbatsjov aan de pretentie van zulke duo's een eind te maken en hoe Deng daar het meest van profiteerde. 4] Max Boot – Reagan, his Life and Legend (Liveright, 2024) Dit boek werpt nieuw licht op de oud-president van de VS. Een noodzakelijke biografie. Want in dit post-Reagantijdperk in Amerika en zijn Republikeinse partij is een nieuwe, gedistantieerde kijk op zijn betekenis en leven zeer welkom. “Mister Norm is my alias”, zei de man die voor iedereen óók een ster was met aantrekkingskracht uit de gouden jaren van Hollywood. Niemand kende hem daarom echt, op zijn Nancy na. Hij had politiek succes doordat hij uitermate pragmatisch was, verliezen kon slikken en toch als held van hoge principes en idealisme kon blijven stralen. Zo kon hij bijna moeiteloos het Kremlin als 'the Evil Empire' beschimpen en met Moskou samen de voorraad kernraketten fors verminderen, terwijl hij eveneens hightech fantasieën uit zijn oude films werkelijkheid wilde laten worden. Ook hier realist, pragmaticus en visionair tegelijk: “Trust, but verify!” Zijn verbindende warme stijl en zijn aura van idealisme zorgden ervoor dat hij beginselen als vrijhandel, kansen voor vluchtelingen en immigranten en respect voor bondgenoten glans gaf. In het Trump-tijdperk lijkt Reagan inmiddels iemand uit een vergeten verleden. 5] Anne Somerset – Queen Victoria and Her Prime Ministers (William Collins, 2024) Meer dan zestig jaar wereldmacht, dynastie, intriges en een flamboyant karakter. ‘She reigns but does not rule’ was volgens Anne Somerset een fraaie verpakking voor heel veel complexe en soms heftige politieke toestanden. Ze versleet maar liefst tien premiers. Ze verfoeide Lord Palmerston - die haar manipuleerde - en William Gladstone nog meer. Ze was dol op haar leermeester, ‘Lord M’, en nog meer op 'mijn coauteur' Benjamin Disraeli. Zij manipuleerden elkaar en genoten er schaamteloos van. Ten diepste was de vorstin gewoon dol op politiek, hoe zwaar ze tegen die heren ook zuchtte en klaagde. Somerset toont nog iets. Victoria was buitengewoon toegewijd. Van haar man, 'darling Albert', keek ze af hoe je focust op de essentie, daarbij desnoods koppig bent en ministers te overrompelt met visies en memo's die al klaar lagen voordat die een probleem zagen aankomen. 6] Jasper Dekker, Alexander van Kessel en Afke Groen (red.) – De minister-president, een ambt in ontwikkeling (Boom, 2025) Buitengewoon instructief is de analyse door Jelle Gaemers van de effectiviteit van Willem Drees als minister president. Voor de opvolger van Dick Schoof essentiële, onmisbare lectuur. Ook de gedurfde poging door Ronald Kroeze tot een eerste summa van veertien jaar premier Mark Rutte maakt de bundel de moeite waard. Op de gedachte dat Rutte wel degelijk visie had, maar deze liefst verborg omwille van het VVD-belang, kan nog wel een tijdje gekauwd worden. 7] Thomas Mann – Achtung Europa! Een eigentijdse waarschuwing (Arbeiderspers, 2025) Thomas Mann - favoriet van Mark Rutte - is 150 jaar geleden geboren. Zijn furieus, literair briljant verzet tegen die auteur van Mein Kampf trekt aandacht, mede dankzij de eerste Nederlandse vertaling van zijn bundel Achtung Europa!. Voortreffelijk hoe Arnon Grunberg daarbij ook de eigenaardigheden van de grote schrijver niet veronachtzaamt. PG haalt nog iets erbij: de eerste druk uit 1938 uit zijn persoonlijke collectie. En nóg zo'n letterkundig juweel, want deze nieuwe vertaling biedt meer voor de lezer - zelfs nu nog - en dat komt uit een ander boek van Thomas Mann. Meest verbluffend is hoe Mann zich durft te verdiepen in en vereenzelvigen met Adolf Hitler. Zag deze zich niet vooral ook als een kunstenaar, een bohemien? Zat in niet elke artistieke geest wat vertekend en duivels verziekt in deze politieke extremist zit? Geen tijdgenoot heeft zo briljant, zo ijskoud en ook zelfkritisch durven kijken naar 'Broeder Hitler', de tiran als verwante ziel. En wat verbindt Victoria, Mann, Rutte, Stalin en Hitler? Operaliefde. In het bijzonder het werk van Richard Wagner. *** Verder luisteren 1] 478 - Was Hitler een socialist? 105 - 75 jaar bevrijding: Dagelijks leven in Nazi-Duitsland 341 - Oplichterij, kunstmatige intelligentie en de dagboeken van Hitler 2] 508 – De NAVO-top in Den Haag moet de onvoorspelbare Trump vooral niet gaan vervelen 481 - Donald Trumps nieuwe idool William McKinley, ‘de tarievenkoning’ 342 - Willem-Alexander en het einde van de monarchie.

Simon shares his harrowing childhood experiences—growing up in a war-torn village, witnessing violence, and ultimately being kidnapped and forced into slavery at the age of nine. He recounts the trauma of being separated from his family, the brutal realities of life as a child slave, and the resilience that helped him survive. Simon also reflects on his journey to freedom and his mission to be a voice for the voiceless, using his story to advocate for human rights and justice. This deeply moving conversation sheds light on the ongoing struggles faced by many and the enduring power of hope and activism.

Joseph's goal, in his own words, was to “shine as much light into the darkness of the past as possible” to understand the nature of authoritarian politics, and he succeeds beyond my wildest expectations. This biography gives me a feel for Chinese politics that I honestly thought I'd never have. It does an incredible job of digging deep to shed light on some of the most consequential moments in CCP history, as well as conveying what it was like to live as a senior official under Mao and Deng. Reading it was a powerful experience at both an intellectual and human level. We get memorable vignettes, like 15-year-old Xi Zhongxun attempting to assassinate a teacher, or General Peng Dehuai using his shoe to silence Xi Zhongxun's snoring in their shared bunk. In this interview, we discuss: What we can learn about authoritarianism, the CCP, and China's future from studying Xi's father, Torigian's methodology for uncovering hidden Party history, How the Party became an existential source of meaning, and how it weaponized suffering to paradoxically deepen political loyalty, The arc of Xi Zhongxun's life — from a young revolutionary to key advocate of reform — and his role during Tiananmen, The interplay of family, love, and career under the all-encompassing shadow of the Party, The role of “Surrogate fathers” and patronage in navigating political ascent, How literature shaped China's early revolutionaries, and even impacted the Party as we know it today.

We recently sat down with Wen-Jen Deng one of the artists in residence at the Taiwanese American Arts Council's House 17 on Governors Island and Ming Turner, curator of Wen-Jen's art exhibit :The Embedded Stitch- Contemporary Fiber Art, which is currently showing at Tenri Cultural Institute until June 28th Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/a-conversation-with-wen-jen-deng-taiwanese-fiber-artist-and-curator-ming-turner-ep-314/   According to Deng's curator Ming Turner, “Deng is a core member of the influential Taiwanese artist collective, Hantoo Art Group. Her early works were primarily oil paintings which incorporated embroidery and collage using traditional Taiwanese floral fabrics. Deng often draws inspiration from Taiwanese food culture— her earlier pieces explored the island's distinctive betel nut culture, while more recent works have focused on everyday culinary traditions and the cultural heritage of the Sirayu Pingpu people.”   Special thanks to Ming Turner for translation assistance during this interview.   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   Wen-Jen's upbringing in Taiwan and how she knew she wanted to be an artist What Wen-Jen thinks an artist's role in the world is Why Wen-Jen studied art in France and how she was inspired by Marc Chagall How Wen-Jen started off doing oil painting as an artist How Wen-Jen switched from using oil paint as her medium to fiber and textiles How Wen-Jen worked in a textile shop making Chinese dresses while she was a student in France Why her early source of inspiration was food Her series of work that focused on lotus shoes and pig's hooves (pigs feet), betel nuts, and other everyday Taiwanese cuisine How Wen-Jen discovered her mother's was from the Siraya tribe during her 2017 residency at Soulangh Cultural Park in Tainan, and that inspired her to move her focus from food to indigenous culture How Wen-Jen learned indigenous weaving techniques How Wen-Jen's mother was a seamstress but Wen-jen did not pick out any of those skills from her mother How Wen-Jen taught herself to embroider when she was working in the textile shop in France How all of the embroidery and sewing on Wen-Jen's works are done by hand How in the process of weaving and embroidering Wen-Jen gets in a focused state of meditation The field work that Wen-Jen does related to her artwork Ming shared some of her thoughts on the significance of Wen-Jen's artwork Wen-Jen's artwork “Oyster Noodles” which will be on display at the TAAC Governors Island House 17 How Taiwan's transition from authoritarianism to democracy has impacted artists in Taiwan How artists in Taiwan get funded How Wen-Jen's sculptural piece which is shaped like the island of Taiwan and shows its topography will be displayed at the TAAC House 17 on June 21

Disability Series, Episode #1 of 4. How and when scientists, doctors, and society started conceiving of the physical and emotional components of same-sex desire as a psychiatric condition of the mind? This was neither an ancient belief nor a postmodern (aka, post-1950) one, and it wasn't an exclusively American phenomenon either. Rather, the classification of same-sex desire as a “disorder” had its roots in the foundations of psychiatry as a profession in the 19th century. Over the last 100+ years, that classification impacted individuals all across the world. You've heard of Sigmund Freud, whose work in the 1920s standardized a form of talk therapy that sought to interpret actions, thoughts, and desires through a particular lens of analysis. “Psychoanalysis,” though short-lived as a psychiatric practice, was certainly part of the longer-term framing of queerness and transness as “mental illness.” But Freud is just the tip of the iceberg. Today we're digging into the history and relationship between psychiatry and sexuality; the scientific theories of sexuality that helped shape modern ideas about the relations between gender, genitals, desire, and identity; and the consequences of the medicalization of sexuality.
