(00:00) Three Wood Loft and Ball Placement This chapter explores the ongoing evolution and challenges of using a 3-wood in golf, especially for older players experiencing decreased clubhead and ball speed. We discuss how modern alternatives, such as modified clubs with more loft, offer easier handling and similar distances compared to traditional 3-woods. With pros moving away from the 3-wood, we consider the benefits of clubs like the 5-wood, which, with its increased loft, can be easier to launch and achieve comparable distances with less effort. The discussion highlights how many golfers find greater satisfaction and performance in their game by opting for these more forgiving clubs, potentially leading to fewer frustrations on the course. (13:29) Golf Equipment Adjustments for Speed This chapter takes us through the aftermath of a hurricane in Fort Myers Beach, illustrating the resilience of nature and the local community in rebuilding efforts. I reflect on the damage reminiscent of a war zone and compare it to past experiences with Hurricane Hugo in Charleston, South Carolina. The conversation shifts to discussing when golfers should consider equipment changes to compensate for a lack of speed. Emphasis is placed on first assessing whether players can improve their physical capabilities before investing in new equipment. I explore the importance of a qualified fitter in testing equipment to ensure it complements the player's abilities, highlighting the common mistake of choosing longer and lighter shafts without considering control and accuracy. I also share a lighthearted moment about golf buddies exchanging playful banter on the course, adding a humorous touch to the sport's social aspect. (19:21) Clubs and Balls This chapter examines the intricacies of golf club fitting and the perpetual advancements in club technology. We explore how individual factors, such as familiarity with the club's weight and shaft length, influence a golfer's ability to consistently hit the center of the clubface. The importance of personalized club fitting is emphasized over succumbing to marketing claims about the latest equipment. There's also a humorous take on the ubiquity of golf commercials featuring the same picturesque Arizona backdrop, questioning whether clubs truly improve with each new release or if it's simply marketing hype. The conversation highlights the ever-present push from manufacturers to sell the latest clubs, often with extravagant claims, while reminding listeners of the value of consulting with a fitter to find the best equipment for their game. (31:03) Player Length and Equipment in Golf This chapter examines the ongoing debate about the distance modern golf balls can achieve, particularly in comparison to past golfing eras. We discuss how in the days of Tiger Woods' dominance, there wasn't much discourse about restricting golf ball distances despite his impressive driving abilities. Highlighting the irony, we touch on how players from past generations, who were once lauded for their long drives, are now among those calling for restrictions. We also explore the excitement and spectacle of players driving the ball onto short par-four greens, emphasizing the entertainment value and media attention these feats bring, regardless of the actual scores achieved. Additionally, we touch on the advancements in golf equipment, noting that while many drivers perform similarly, the evolution of golf balls continues to make a significant impact on distance. (37:42) Increasing Swing Speed Through Training This chapter focuses on techniques and exercises to increase golf swing speed, emphasizing the importance of reducing tension and encouraging faster body movement. We explore the benefits of using training tools like speed sticks and the stack system to help your brain and body coordinate faster movements. By practicing with these tools, your natural swing speed can increase, resulting in greater distance on the golf course. The importance of proper sequencing and timing in the golf swing is highlighted, including the role of lateral push, rotary twist, and braking with the lead leg to enhance club speed. Additionally, we touch on the necessity of maintaining a firm yet supple grip to prevent slowing down the club. Overall, the chapter provides practical insights into developing a faster and more powerful golf swing. (43:39) Effortless Power and Golf Performance This chapter explores the intricate balance between timing and technique in achieving maximum power and efficiency in a golf swing. We discuss how the right timing can transform a golfer's swing from a powerless effort to effortless power, using the examples of renowned long-drive champions like Justin James and Jason Zubak. These athletes demonstrate that while tremendous effort is involved, understanding when and how to apply force is crucial for maximizing distance. We also highlight the importance of having equipment fitted and working with knowledgeable instructors to enhance one's golf game. Finally, we emphasize that even those with immense power, like long-drive competitors, possess the skill and precision needed to succeed on the course. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

PREVIEW: Canadian National Unity: Alberta's Grievance Over Equalization Payments and Pipeline Prevention Guest: Conrad Black Conrad Black discusses the state of Canada's national unity, highlighting that Alberta feels unfairly treated by the federal government. Alberta sends substantial wealth to Ottawa through equalization payments, a system where money from prosperous provinces is transferred to ensure less prosperous provinces can provide equivalent service levels. Alberta has traditionally been relatively uncomplaining about its role in these payments but now feels it receives little back in return. More significantly, Alberta believes its energy resources are being undermined by federal policy. The province's primary complaint is that it has been prevented for the past decade from building pipelines, both east and west, to utilize its oil and gas reserves, for which there is strong global demand. Black concludes that apart from this critical issue, national unity is relatively stable, and provinces are waiting to see what changes, if any, the new prime minister will implement regarding this contentious policy.

Researchers at ICARUS, Maynooth University's climate research centre, have launched a new citizen science project, seeking help to rescue African weather data that is vital for research about a part of the world that is very vulnerable to climate change. The project, Weather Archive Africa, is seeking volunteers to sift through some four million images of historical weather data from 43 African countries to determine which images are usable for their research. The images come from the African Centre of Meteorological Application for Development (ACMAD) collection. They were transferred to fiche and film by ACMAD, the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium and the World Meteorological Organisation in the late 1980s/early 1990s and were subsequently converted to electronic images by the Copernicus Climate Change Service. However, the images are of variable quality, and it is unclear where and when the data were obtained. "Before we can transcribe the data, we need to separate the images that are readable from those that are unreadable," says ICARUS researcher Kevin Healion, who is involved in the project. "We also need to make sure that the station name, month, and year of observation are recorded; otherwise, rescuing the data will be all but impossible. Once we know which images are usable and where and when they were taken, we can start the process of rescue." The project, which is supported by the Irish Centre for High-End Computing, is being launched on Zooniverse, a global platform for people-powered research which connects professional researchers with volunteers worldwide. "We have found that those who have helped rescue historical weather data feel that they have made a real contribution towards climate action. I think those who contribute to this project will feel the same," Kevin Healion says. Highlighting the importance of the project for future research, ICARUS director Prof Peter Thorne said: "Rescuing African weather data is vitally important if we are to better understand climate change in this very climate-vulnerable region of the world. This project goes some way towards making this data readily available." Carlo Buontempo, Director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), also welcomed the initiative: "We warmly welcome this project to transcribe historical climate records from across Africa. Supported by C3S in collaboration with ACMAD and the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium, under the auspices of WMO, this citizen-science initiative will enrich observation databases for next-generation climate reanalyses and shed new light on how the continent's climate has evolved since the early 20th century."

8. Later Films and the Importance of Sid Scott Eyman Charlie Chaplin versus America: When Art, Sex, and Politics Collided Chaplin's first European film, A King in New York (1957), suffered as he struggled with English union rules, highlighting his dependence on absolute creative autonomy. His final film, A Countess from Hong Kong (1967), was hampered by the casting of Marlon Brando, insisted upon by Universal. Brando proved mechanical and unsuited for the film's romantic rescue plot. Ultimately, Chaplin's half-brother, Sid, remained the indispensable cornerstone of his life, always ready to help or rescue him. 1936

China is set to make the development of new quality productive forces one of the top priorities of its next five-year plan, as policymakers seek to upgrade the nation's industrial structure, spur innovation-driven growth, and reinforce confidence in the long-term outlook of the world's second-largest economy, said officials, experts and global executives.官员、专家及全球企业高管表示,中国计划将发展新质生产力列为下一个五年规划的重点任务之一,政策制定者正致力于推动产业结构升级、激发创新驱动型增长,并增强对这一世界第二大经济体长期发展前景的信心。The new blueprint will serve as a crucial bridge between the current phase of recovery and China's goal of basically achieving socialist modernization by 2035. Experts said it underscores the country's resolve to reinvigorate growth amid domestic structural pressures and rising global uncertainties, steering the economy toward new drivers such as advanced manufacturing, green transformation and digital innovation.这份新蓝图将成为当前复苏阶段与中国2035年基本实现社会主义现代化目标之间的重要桥梁。专家指出,这凸显了中国在国内结构性压力和全球不确定性上升的背景下重振增长的决心,推动经济向先进制造业、绿色转型和数字创新等新动力方向发展。Their comments came as the market is closely watching the draft proposals for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30), as the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is holding its fourth plenary session in Beijing to deliberate on the drafting of the blueprint for China's development over the next five years.他们的表态正值市场密切关注“十五五”规划草案之际,中共二十届四中全会正在北京召开,审议未来五年中国发展蓝图的编制工作。President Xi Jinping shed light on the likely key priorities in Shanghai in April as he presided over a symposium on China's economic and social development in the 15th Five-Year Plan period and delivered an important speech.4月,习近平主席在上海主持“十五五”时期经济社会发展座谈会并发表重要讲话,阐明了未来五年可能的重点任务。Xi, who is also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, said higher strategic priority must be given to fostering new quality productive forces in line with local conditions in the next five years.作为中共中央总书记,习近平强调,未来五年必须结合地方实际,把培育新质生产力摆在更突出的战略位置。Highlighting the roles of technological innovation and the real economy, he called for efforts to transform and upgrade traditional industries, develop emerging industries, and make forward-thinking arrangements for industries of the future, in order to accelerate modernization of the industrial system.习近平主席强调科技创新和实体经济的重要作用,呼吁着力推动传统产业转型升级、发展战略性新兴产业、前瞻布局未来产业,以加快推进工业体系现代化。Robin Xing, chief China economist at Morgan Stanley, said his team believes that China will remain committed to deepening the economic transition anchored in technology and innovation to secure the supply chain and energy self-sufficiency. "We expect a tech-and supply-driven framework."摩根士丹利首席中国经济学家邢自强表示,其团队认为中国将继续致力于深化以科技和创新为核心的经济转型,保障供应链和能源自给自足,“我们预计将形成一个以科技和供应链为驱动的框架”。Zhang Ning, senior China economist at UBS Investment Bank, said China is likely to continue offering support in fundamental and frontier research, and in self-sufficiency technology bottleneck areas during the next five years.瑞银投资银行高级中国经济学家张宁指出,未来五年中国可能会继续支持基础研究和前沿研究,并在关键技术“卡脖子”领域助力自主可控。"We think fostering 'high-quality growth' will likely be the top priority over the next decade, mainly driven by innovation and total factor productivity growth," Zhang added.她补充道:“我们认为,未来十年‘高质量增长'有望成为首要任务,这一增长将主要由创新和全要素生产率提升驱动”。A meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, chaired by Xi in late September, discussed major issues related to the formulation of the 15th Five-Year Plan for national economic and social development.9月底,习近平主席主持召开中共中央政治局会议,研究“十五五”时期国民经济和社会发展规划编制的重大问题。The meeting stressed the need to remain committed to high-quality development, foster new quality productive forces in line with local conditions, and comprehensively deepen reform while further expanding high-level opening-up.会议强调,要坚持高质量发展,结合地方实际培育新质生产力,全面深化改革并进一步扩大高水平对外开放。Citing research topics for the next five-year plan released by the National Development and Reform Commission, the country's top economic regulator, Ye Fan, an analyst at Southwest Securities, said the scope of studies under the upcoming five-year plan has expanded significantly, with newly added topics accounting for about 50 percent of the total.西南证券分析师叶凡援引中国最高经济调控机构国家发展和改革委员会发布的“十五五”规划研究课题指出,下一个五年规划的研究范围大幅扩大,新增课题约占总数的50%。"Among them, subjects related to technological innovation and industrial development increased by 80 percent and 64 percent, respectively," Ye noted. "The topics cover key areas such as global technological and industrial transformation, talent development and innovation capacity building. In terms of industrial priorities, the focus is placed on key areas including the digital economy, artificial intelligence, services and healthcare."其中,科技创新和产业发展相关课题占比分别提升80%和64%,涵盖全球科技产业变革、人才培养、创新能力建设等关键领域;产业重点则聚焦数字经济、人工智能、服务业、医疗健康等方向。According to Ye, policymakers will place greater emphasis on development quality, efficiency and sustainability in the next five years. "It will drive industrial upgrading through technological innovation, deepen the integration of the digital and real economies, and promote a comprehensive green transformation of China's economy and society."叶凡表示,未来五年政策制定者将更注重发展质量、效率和可持续性,通过科技创新推动产业升级,深化数字经济与实体经济融合,促进中国经济社会全面绿色转型。In March 2024, Zheng Shanjie, head of the NDRC, told a symposium that the planning of the 15th Five-Year Plan will fully take into account the practical requirements for developing new quality productive forces.2024年3月,国家发展和改革委员会(NDRC)主任郑栅洁在一场座谈会上表示,“十五五”规划编制将充分考虑发展新质生产力的实际需求。He said policymakers will focus on identifying key tasks and foundational projects to promote the growth of new quality productive forces as they set major goals, strategic missions, reform measures, and large-scale projects for the next stage of China's economic and social development.他指出,政策制定者在确定下一阶段中国经济社会发展的主要目标、战略任务、改革举措和重大项目时,将重点明确推动新质生产力发展的关键任务和基础性项目。Hu Yuwei, chief policy analyst at China Securities, said the next five-year blueprint will place greater emphasis on innovation-driven growth, green and low-carbon development, and digital transformation to adapt to the trends of globalization and informatization.中国证券首席政策分析师胡玉玮表示,下一个五年规划蓝图将更加强调创新驱动增长、绿色低碳发展和数字化转型,以适应全球化和信息化趋势。China's innovation capacity has risen rapidly over the past few years. According to the "Global Innovation Index 2025" report released by the World Intellectual Property Organization, China has risen to 10th place in the global innovation ranking for 2025, up one spot from last year, marking its first entry into the top 10.过去几年,中国创新能力快速提升。根据世界知识产权组织发布的《2025年全球创新指数》报告,中国2025年全球创新排名升至第10位,较上年提升1位,首次进入前十。However, Hu cautioned that challenges remain. "Our basic research remains relatively weak, with insufficient concentration of scientific resources and a lack of systematic advantage in original innovation."不过,胡玉玮也提醒,挑战依然存在。“我国基础研究相对薄弱,科技资源集中度不足,原始创新缺乏系统性优势。”Hu suggested that during the next five years, China should strengthen its national strategic science and technology capacity, enhance self-reliance in core technologies, and promote advanced, smart and green manufacturing.胡玉玮建议,未来五年,中国应强化国家战略科技力量,提升核心技术自主可控能力,推动先进制造、智能制造和绿色制造发展。Global executives hailed China's ongoing efforts to foster new quality productive forces, saying that multinational corporations will see rising opportunities in the next few years.全球企业高管对中国培育新质生产力的持续努力表示赞赏,认为跨国公司未来几年将迎来更多机遇。"I don't see China only as just the market. I think China has probably become an engine for some specific innovations, which we can develop elsewhere," said Estelle Brachlianoff, CEO of Veolia, a French transnational group focusing on ecological environment and resource management.法国生态环境与资源管理跨国集团威立雅首席执行官埃斯特尔・布拉希利亚诺夫(音译)表示:“我不认为中国只是一个市场,我认为中国很可能已成为某些特定创新的引擎,这些创新成果也可应用到其他地区。”Brachlianoff said she is confident that China's upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan will keep green development high on the agenda, creating more opportunities for Veolia in areas such as decarbonization and ecological restoration.布拉希利亚诺夫称,她相信中国即将出台的“十五五”规划将继续把绿色发展置于重要议程,为威立雅在脱碳、生态修复等领域创造更多机会。Marc Horn, president of Merck China, said China is an important source of innovation. "We are very confident in staying the course and remaining committed to our investments (here in China)."默克集团中国区总裁何慕麒表示,中国是重要的创新源泉。“我们对在中国的发展道路充满信心,并将继续坚定投入。”underscore/ˌʌndəˈskɔː(r)/v.强调;凸显bottleneck/ˈbɒtlnek/n.瓶颈;障碍reinforce/ˌriːɪnˈfɔːs/v.增强;巩固deliberate/dɪˈlɪbəreɪt/v.审议;仔细考虑

Compatriots from Taiwan will be invited to attend a commemorative gathering marking the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's restoration to China, which will be held around Saturday on the mainland, a Chinese mainland spokesperson said on Wednesday.中国大陆一位发言人于周三表示,台湾同胞将受邀出席一场纪念台湾回归中国 80 周年的纪念大会,该大会将于周六前后在大陆举行。Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, said that representatives from various sectors, including Taiwan compatriots, will be invited to attend the event, while related visits and exchange activities will also be organized.国务院台湾事务办公室发言人朱凤莲表示,包括台湾同胞在内的各界代表将受邀出席此次活动,同时还将组织相关参访交流活动。Highlighting the significance of Taiwan's restoration as an important achievement of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45), Zhu said the commemoration aims to unite Chinese people from all over the world, including compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.朱凤莲强调,台湾光复是中国人民抗日战争(1931-1945 年)的重要成果,具有重大意义。她表示,此次纪念活动旨在团结包括海峡两岸同胞在内的全球中华儿女。It aims to bring them together to jointly remember the history of the war, pay tribute to the heroes who fought against Japanese invaders, safeguard the victorious outcome of the war, which is Taiwan's return to the motherland, and protect the common home of the Chinese nation, she said.她指出,纪念活动旨在凝聚大家的力量,共同铭记抗战历史,缅怀抗击日本侵略者的英雄先烈,捍卫包括台湾回归祖国在内的抗战胜利成果,守护中华民族共同的家园。Zhu added that Taiwan compatriots are welcome to join their mainland counterparts in sharing the pride and dignity of being Chinese.朱凤莲补充道,欢迎台湾同胞与大陆同胞一道,共同分享作为中国人的自豪与尊严。On Oct 16, Taiwan's "mainland affairs council" banned public officials from participating in commemorative events on the mainland marking the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's recovery. The order also requires members of school faculties, political parties and organizations, as well as related individuals, to refrain from participating in any mainland-organized activities or events.10 月 16 日,台湾地区所谓 “大陆事务委员会” 禁止公职人员参与大陆举办的纪念台湾光复 80 周年相关活动。该禁令还要求学校教职工、政党及社团成员以及相关个人不得参与任何由大陆组织的活动。Zhu condemned this separatist stance of "Taiwan independence" of the Democratic Progressive Party authorities, saying that it distorts and denies historical facts and undervalues the victory in the war of resistance.朱凤莲谴责民进党当局这种 “台独” 分裂行径,指出其歪曲、否认历史事实,轻视抗战胜利成果。"By intimidating and suppressing Taiwan compatriots from participating in related commemorative events, the DPP authorities have completely abandoned the national stance, which already faces opposition and will increasingly face more opposition and condemnation from the people of Taiwan," she said.她说:“民进党当局恐吓、阻挠台湾同胞参与相关纪念活动,完全背离民族立场,这一做法已经遭到反对,未来必将遭到台湾民众更多的反对与谴责。”Referring to the DPP's demand of "equal dialogue" with the mainland, Zhu said it is an attempt to resume cross-Strait consultations without recognizing the 1992 Consensus, and distorts the historical and legal fact that both sides of the Strait belong to one China.谈及民进党方面提出与大陆 “平等对话” 的要求,朱凤莲表示,这是其在不承认 “九二共识” 的情况下试图恢复两岸协商,且歪曲了海峡两岸同属一个中国的历史和法律事实。"In essence, this only creates obstacles for cross-Strait dialogue and consultations, and is doomed to fail," she said, emphasizing that the 1992 Consensus continues to serve as the anchor of peace across the Strait.她强调:“本质上,这只会为两岸对话协商制造障碍,注定不会得逞。” 同时指出,“九二共识” 仍是维护台海和平稳定的定海神针。According to the spokeswoman, cross-Strait tourism is being mainly hindered by the DPP authorities, as tour groups from Fujian province and Shanghai have been unable to visit Taiwan despite having received permits from the mainland earlier this year.这位发言人表示,两岸旅游主要受到民进党当局的阻碍。今年早些时候,福建省和上海市的旅游团虽已获得大陆方面的许可,但至今仍无法赴台旅游。"The mainstream public opinion in Taiwan supports peace, development, exchanges and cooperation. The DPP authorities have positioned themselves against such mainstream public opinion in Taiwan, and they are bound to be rejected by the people," Zhu said.朱凤莲表示:“台湾社会的主流民意是支持和平、发展、交流、合作的。民进党当局与台湾主流民意背道而驰,必然会遭到民众的反对。”The mainland has introduced a series of measures to facilitate cross-Strait exchanges, including introducing free applications for travel permits for first-time visitors from Taiwan and expanding the list of entry ports supporting on-arrival permit applications.大陆已推出一系列便利两岸交流的举措,包括对首次来大陆的台湾居民实行旅行证免费申请,以及扩大支持落地签申请的入境口岸范围。"During the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30), the high-quality economic and social development of the mainland will provide more opportunities for Taiwan compatriots and enterprises," Zhu said, adding that systems and policies promoting cross-Strait economic and cultural exchanges will be further improved.朱凤莲表示:“‘十四五'规划(2026-2030 年)期间,大陆经济社会高质量发展将为台湾同胞和台湾企业提供更多机遇。” 她还补充道,促进两岸经济文化交流的制度和政策将进一步完善。compatriot音标:/kəmˈpeɪtriət/翻译:同胞;同国人搭配:fellow compatriots(同胞们)、Taiwan compatriots(台湾同胞)commemoration音标:/kəˌmeməˈreɪʃn/翻译:纪念;纪念活动搭配:commemorative gathering(纪念大会)、in commemoration of(为纪念……)restoration音标:/ˌrestəˈreɪʃn/翻译:恢复;光复(文中特指 “回归”)搭配:the restoration of Taiwan to China(台湾回归中国)、restoration of peace(和平的恢复)consensus音标:/kənˈsensəs/翻译:共识;一致意见搭配:the 1992 Consensus(“九二共识”)、reach a consensus(达成共识)编辑分享

1. The Roots of the Russo-Ukrainian War: Putin's Power and the Failure of the 2008 NATO Summit. Serhii Plokhy (Professor of Ukrainian History at Harvard University) analyzes the origins of the Russo-Ukrainian War, highlighting Vladimir Putin's authority, which is derived from Russia's super-presidential constitution. This power allowed him to move toward dictating who could align with the West. The 2008 NATO summit in Bucharest proved critical: the alliance split, with the US favoring membership for Ukraine and Georgia, and Germany leading opposition. This resulted in a failure to agree, leaving Ukraine and Georgia exposed to future Russian attacks without military guarantees. Putin responded by starting the war in Georgia later that year, effectively annexing territory and rendering Georgia ineligible for NATO. In Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, backed by Putin, lost the 2004 election due to the Orange Revolution, which Putin viewed as a serious threat to his authority in Russia. Yanukovych returned in 2010 and, pressured by Russia, refused to sign an association agreement with the European Union in 2013, triggering the Euromaidan Revolution. This protest against Moscow's influence was a direct prelude to the annexation of Crimea and the start of the 2014 war. 1855 TATARS CRIMEA
What happens when punk rock meets modern faith trends? In this episode, the hosts dive deep into the cultural and spiritual dynamics shaping contemporary Christianity. From the consumer-driven "revival" narrative—marked by increased Bible sales and app downloads—to the troubling intersections of faith and political ideologies like Christian nationalism, they explore what genuine spiritual renewal really looks like. Highlighting the concept of cruciformity, they discuss how the church's role in society should reflect Jesus' teachings of love, justice, and humility, rather than power and control. Through thoughtful conversation, they unpack the transformative power of prayer, emphasizing honesty over performance and exploring how trusting in a good and generous Father reshapes our understanding of faith. Drawing parallels to cultural icons like the Ramones, the episode also touches on how creative expressions and subcultures can challenge the status quo, much like the radical message of Jesus. Join the discussion as the hosts navigate the tension between cultural issues and the theology of the Kingdom of God. What does it mean to live out a faith rooted in service and sacrifice in a world driven by consumption and division?
