Christie's Hong Kong Autumn Luxury Sales reached HK$1 billion, reinforcing Asia’s position as a global centre for high-value collecting. Exceptional performance across categories including world-auction records for rare Hermès handbags, Patek Philippe references, and Kashmir sapphires pushed hammer prices far above expectations. With nearly 20% new buyers and more than half of participants bidding online, the season reflects an evolving collector base that is younger, broader, and increasingly comfortable treating luxury assets as both cultural objects and investment-grade stores of value. On The Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Winsy Tsang, Head of Department, Handbags & Accessories, Christie’s Asia Pacific, to unpack the trends behind this record-breaking market and what they reveal about the future of luxury collecting in Asia.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of child abuse. Something was in the air in 1973 where people wanted nostalgia and con artists in their films. But while George Roy Hill teamed up with Redford and Newman for the utter perfection of the genre, Peter Bogdanovich followed up one classic film with another underrated gem. Nothing about this movie is particularly remarkable, save the outstanding performance by 9-year-old Tatum O'Neal. Instead, it's just an aggregate of everyone telling a really good story. I'll give you this 5 dollar bill rather than the dollar change but you can get a 20 instead as we watch Paper Moon on Have a Good Movie!

In a decade of darker, boundary-crossing films, this week's film is just under the rader for having some of the darkest undertones of all. And that's beyond the fact that it might be one of the best portrayals of sex workers on screen, refusing to judge its subject on anything but her actual character. I mean, yes she is being stalked by a violent powerful man to get murdered, but it has nothing to do with her means of income. the problem is that this movie is just plain weird, and not for any real reason. But it's worth the price of admission for Jane Fonda giving an absolutely stunning performance. Sit back and relax and fall lin love with Bree as we watch Klute on Have a Good Movie!

Hong Kong's High Court sentenced former media mogul Jimmy Lai Chee-ying to 20 years in prison on Monday, following his conviction under the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region National Security Law.2月9日，香港特区高等法院依据《中华人民共和国香港特别行政区维护国家安全法》，对前传媒大亨黎智英作出判决，判处其入狱20年。The three national security judges—Esther Toh Lye-ping, D'Almada Remedios, and Alex Lee Wan-tang—handed down the sentence after Lai was found guilty in December on two counts of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces and one count of conspiracy to publish seditious materials.本案由杜丽冰、李素兰、李运腾三名国安法指定法官审理，黎智英已于去年12月被裁定两项串谋勾结外国势力罪、一项串谋发布煽动刊物罪名成立，三名法官随后当庭作出上述量刑。"It is the legislative intent that …the engagement of a foreign entity in endangering national security is generally to be regarded as an offence of a more serious nature which has to be met with a more severe penalty," the court said in a written judgment.法院在书面判词中表示，相关立法原意在于，外国主体参与危害国家安全的行为，通常被认定为性质更为严重的犯罪，必须施以更严厉的刑罚。As Lai was also sentenced to five years and nine months behind bars in December 2022 for one count of fraud, an offense of a "totally different nature and the facts of which were also unrelated to the present case", the court ruled that 18 of the total 20-year imprisonment are to be served consecutively to his fraud sentence.黎智英曾于2022年12月因一项欺诈罪被判入狱5年9个月，该罪行与本案性质完全不同、涉案事实亦无关联。法院据此裁定，本案20年刑期中的18年，须与其欺诈罪刑期分期执行。In laying out the grounds for sentencing for Lai, the court noted that he had received adequate medical attention and care during his time in prison.法院在阐述量刑依据时提及，黎智英在羁押期间已获得充分的医疗照料与保障。The court said it was not inclined to reduce Lai's sentence on medical grounds, since these are seldom used as basis for reducing sentences in cases involving grave crimes.法院称，不会以健康为由对其减刑，在涉及严重罪行的案件中，健康状况极少作为减刑依据。As for Lai's solitary confinement that was submitted by his counsel as a ground for mitigation, the judges said the arrangement was made on Lai's request out of his fear of "harassment". They noted that Lai was also allowed to exercise outside his cell during his imprisonment and was assigned meaningful though very light duty work.针对辩方律师提出的“黎智英被单独监禁应作为减刑理由”，法官表示，该羁押安排系应黎智英本人申请作出，原因是其担心遭受“滋扰”。同时，黎智英在押期间获准外出活动，还被安排从事有意义但强度极低的工作。Having considered all the circumstances, including Lai's old age, health condition and solitary confinement, the court deducted one month from Lai's sentence for seditious publication and one year each for the two counts of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces.综合考量黎智英年事已高、健康状况及单独监禁等全部情节，法院对其串谋发布煽动刊物罪减刑1个月，两项串谋勾结外国势力罪各减刑1年。Lai's associated companies, Apple Daily Ltd, Apple Daily Printing Ltd, and AD Internet Ltd, were each fined HK$3,004,500 ($384,000).黎智英关联企业——苹果日报有限公司、苹果日报印刷有限公司、苹果日报互联网有限公司，各被处以罚款300.45万港元（约合38.4万美元）。His other eight co-defendants who had previously pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces were also sentenced on the same day. Among them, "Stand with Hong Kong" (SWHK) core members Andy Li Yu-hin and Wayland Chan Tsz-wah received sentences of seven years and three months, and six years and three months, respectively.同日，此前已承认一项串谋勾结外国势力罪的另外8名同案被告亦获判刑。其中，“重光团队”（SWHK）核心成员李宇轩、陈梓华分别被判入狱7年3个月、6年3个月。Next Digital senior personnel Cheung Kim-hung was sentenced to six years and nine months in prison, Chan Pui-man to seven years, and Yeung Ching-kee to seven years and three months.壹传媒高层张剑虹被判入狱6年9个月，陈沛敏7年，杨清奇7年3个月。Law Wai-kwong and Lam Man-chung and Fung Wai-kong were each sentenced to 10 years in jail. The court noted their sentences reflected the fact that they did not assist the authorities or provide evidence for the prosecution.罗伟光、林文宗、冯伟光各被判入狱10年。法院指出，该量刑系因三人未配合执法机关、亦未向控方提供证据。media mogul /ˈmiːdiə ˈməʊɡl/媒体大亨conspiracy /kənˈspɪrəsi/阴谋collude with foreign forces /kəˈluːd wɪð ˈfɒrɪn ˈfɔːsɪz/勾结外部势力seditious /sɪˈdɪʃəs/煽动性的grave crimes /ɡreɪv kraɪmz/严重罪行prosecution /ˌprɒsɪˈkjuːʃn/检控

Communism! A menace to all god-fearing Americans in the 1960s, a real travesty against society. At least that was the background that this novel and film dropped into to make a much larger point about the horrors of war and trauma. But even more than a knotty, complicated conspiracy thriller, this is a really unique film from an underrated director and shockingly talented cast…for the most part. Frank Sinatra is pulling quadruple duty here with producing, acting, cajoling studio heads, and really, really acting and it pays off in a major way, even if this was a little too weird for the Oscars.

ASX 200 fell 6 points to 8928 as iron ore stocks rallied into the close. The turn in BHP and RIO helped on a bump higher in iron ore. Gold miners were strong but not getting carried away. NST up 3.1% and NEM up 2.6% which considering the bullion price went nuts again, shows maybe some short-term fatigue. Uranium stocks were patchy too given the big move to US$100lb in spot prices, PDN only up 1.4% and DYL leading the charge, up 12.4%. Critical metal and rare earths stocks were walloped on unconfirmed reports that the US is abandoning its idea of a floor price. LYC fell 3.7% and ILU dropped 14.1% as impairments didn't help there either. Lithium stocks under pressure too, IGO down 5.8% on production report, LTR fell 4.2% on a bond to equity conversion, MIN dropped 3.8%. Oil and gas doing very little. Meanwhile banks were mixed, CBA off 1.1% and the Big Bank Basket down to $266.66 (-0.7%). Financials were mixed too, ZIP fell 3.8% on the strong AUD, given most of its earnings are in USD now. Healthcare stumbled around in casualty, RMD down 1.1% on USD weakness, CSL the same applies off 0.4% and tech got smashed again. WTC down 2.1% and XRO heading that way, off another 3.1%. The All-Tech Index dropped 1.8%. Industrials slid, BXB down 2.6% and QAN off 2.1%. REITs also under pressure. That kind of day.In corporate news, APX jumped 30.5% as revenue rose to $73.4m. AMP fell 4.6% after some accountancy tweaking. QUB saw Macquarie extend its DD to Feb 15th.  Plenty of quarterlies to keep everyone on their toes.

1957 came hard for us with the ever-menacing presence of…Andy Griffith? This one is a real underrated gem, a heady brew of media stardom, political power and ego that makes an aimless narcissistic drifter into a king drunk on his sway. Everyone is fantastic in this movie and it has absolutely zero hardware to show for it - a fact that would be utterly shocking if not for the notes we get into with the trivia.

We're coming in this week like a flying saucer into Earth's atmosphere with a movie that's both way ahead of its time and also incredibly dated. Flying saucer movies could be a dime a dozen in the atomic age, but only a few managed to capture the public's imagination like this week's movie. This is the template for a lot of sci-fi to come, even though it suffers from some haphazard execution and some frankly terrible acting.

We've got a new series to talk through movies that were snubbed for or didn't win major Oscars as we lead into awards season! We start off with a living Looney Tunes cartoon, which makes sense given that Looney Tunes based itself off these movies. The Marx Brothers were already comedy legends when this film came along, but director Leo Carey brings a dash of satire that makes for an incredible film, all wrapped up in under 70 minutes of run time. This isn't just a comedy, it's a masterpiece, and we're catching up on it today. Hail, hail Freedonia as we watch Duck Soup on Have a Good Movie!

Next up in the Oscar Snubs is the paragon of fast-talking screwball comedies. Except that this movie might be too fast. That's right, when you tell five jokes in 30 seconds, and they're all dated back to the late 30's, at some point you're no longer funny, you're exhausting. It's impeccably executed, but utterly meaningless, and by the end you're just happy to turn the movie off. Lock up your rollaway desks as we discuss His Girl Friday on Have a Good Movie!

Apply to work with me: https://www.michaelxcampion.com/Vivian Siu was born in Hong Kong. At age 6 she and her mother moved to New York in the hope of a better life. At age 16 she lost her mother, and dropped out of high-school in the USA, moving back to HK to avoid being put in foster care …She then dragged herself up by the bootstraps, hitting the books, and somehow getting into and graduating from Columbia University She went from bartending around HK and sleeping on friend's couches with a small suitcase just to survive… to a successful career in investment banking. As an escape from her harsh reality, she found joy in the underground video arcades of gritty Kowloon. She found community there and found that she was actually really good at the car racing games. Many years later, she used that muscle memory from the arcade…to unbelievably making history as the first female and first LGBTQ Formula 4 driver ever to finish the Macau Grand Prix. All with just 6 months of experience and 4 real races in an actual racing car, and whilst holding down a job in Investment Banking. Seriously incredible and the movie about her life so far will be shown on all Cathay Pacific flights starting in DecemberVivian's story is a reminder to all of us that when education and sport, meets a young person with drive… anything is possible.She was not born into money. There has been no silver spoon to feed her opportunities. And when you don't have opportunity fed to you on a silver spoon, you learn to lick it off knives. She's taken every sliver of an opportunity shown to her and really made her own luck. The odds were completely stacked against her achieving any of these things. And yet, here she is. Record breaker. Ultimately, I've often said that “It's hard to beat the person that refuses to give up.”This woman has not, and will not give up. We all have something to learn from her.I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.Guest - Vivian Siu (https://www.instagram.com/viviansiu28/?hl=en)Connect with me: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelxcampion/Instagram: @michaelxcampionWatch the movie Zero to Macao (https://www.zerotomacao.com/) on all Cathay Pacific flights (00:00) Preview(00:41) Intro(04:41) Moving to New York as a kid(07:40) Losing her mum at 16(10:07) The arcade racing game that kept her sane(13:53) Rock bottom years(17:19) GED, community college, obsessive studying habits(20:57) Getting Into Columbia (25:42) Ivy League grind(30:33) Life After Columbia(31:33) Graduating alone(36:54) Survival mode mindset(40:24) From arcade to track(44:20) Mentors and momentum: the push that made it real(45:02) The Macau Grand Prix experience(47:38) Racing for her dad(51:28) Releasing years of bottled up pain(54:46) Zero to Macau(57:52) Who this story is for(01:00:01) Doing it for mum and dad vs doing it for yourself(01:03:21) Why every lap feels like a win(01:07:00) Inner game routines(01:08:32) What's next for Vivian(01:10:11) Outro

THE FACTORY GUY Colleague Mark Clifford, The Troublemaker. By 1975, Jimmy Lai had risen from a child laborer to a factory owner, purchasing a bankrupt garment facility using stock market profits. Despite being a primary school dropout who learned English from a dictionary, Lai succeeded through relentless work and charm. He capitalized on the boom in American retail sourcing, winning orders from Kmart by producing samples overnight and eventually building Comitex into a leading sweater manufacturer, embodying the Hong Kong dream.

Playing in a huge invitational poker cash game during the Triton Poker Series Montenegro, Dan ‘Jungleman' Cates and Tan Xuan get involved in a massive pot. But has he lost his mind in this $1,500,000 pot? Xuan must decide whether to unload the clip with a triple barrel bluff. The problem is that Cates holds the stone cold nuts. Will Xuan make the wrong decision and punt it off into Cates, or will he give up on the bluff and save himself almost $750,000? When playing poker tournaments or cash games, it is important to protect your calling range. This means that when you call a bet, raise, or check-raise, your range should not only consist of draws or medium-strength hands. You should occasionally have very strong hands, including the nuts, in your calling range. By doing this, you make it much harder for your opponents to exploit you, as they cannot be sure whether your call represents a draw, a marginal hand, or a monster. Dan Cates, also known as Jungleman and w00ki3z, is a 34-year-old from the USA and is regarded by many as one of the best poker players in the world both online and live. He has played in all the high stakes poker cash games around the world for many years. He has over $18,800,000 in live poker tournament earnings, putting him in the top 100 on the all-time money list. He famously won the World Series of Poker (WSOP) $50,000 Players Championship (regarded as one of the hardest poker tournaments to win) in 2021 and again in 2022. Since 2012, Cates has played over 89 live streamed cash games and has won more than $14,400,000. Cates has won the most in history on live streamed poker gash games. Tan Xuan is a Chinese businessman from Wuhan. Xuan has won over $12,300,000 in live poker tournament earnings, putting him in the top 150 on poker's all time money list. His biggest score of $2,308,384 came during the 2018 Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Montenegro, where he finished second in the HK$1,000,000 No Limit Hold’em – Short Deck Ante Only tournament. Since 2018, Since 2018 Xuan has played on over 77 live streamed poker cash games and has lost over $7,700,000. Triton Poker was founded in 2015 by Paul Phua and Richard Yong; their aim was to attract a healthy mixture of recreational poker players and seasoned poker professionals. Part of what makes the Triton Series so special is that it's open to a wide range of poker players – not just a select few. They envisioned Triton as a series of poker events providing excellent entertainment value for audiences passionate about poker. Some of the most famous poker players to have appeared at Triton events have been Phil Ivey ‘RaiseOnce', Tom Dwan ‘Durrr', Patrick Antonius ‘The Finn', Michael Addamo ‘imluckbox', Chris Brewer, Jason Koon ‘JAKoon1985', Tony G, Dan Cates ‘Jungleman', Doug Polk ‘WCGRider', Stephen Chidwick ‘stevie444', Linus Loeliger ‘LLinusLLove', Isaac Haxton ‘philivey2694', Mikita Badziakouski ‘fish2013', Timofey Kuznetsov ‘Trueteller' and many more. Preflop:With the $4,000 straddle on, Paul Phua raises from early position with pocket sevens to $10,000. Tan Xuan calls from the button holding 98 of hearts and Dan Cates defends KQo from the under the gun straddle. Flop – Ac Jd 3s:Cates is first to act and checks his gutshot straight draw to broadway. Phua, with his two hockey sticks, opts not to continuation bet and checks. Xuan's suited connector has flopped terribly as he just has a backdraw straight draw. He bets $17,000 as a bluff and only Cates calls from out of position. Turn – Ts:Heads-up to the ten of spades turn, which helps improve Cates to the nuts with a broadway straight. Cates checks for a second time and Xuan, who despite picking up an open ended straight draw, is drawing dead. Xuan doesn't know this as he chooses to fire a second barrel for $35,000. Cates takes the most aggressive option available to him by check raising to $125,000. Xuan doesn't believe the story Cates is telling, so he decides to 3-bet to $325,000. Cates sets the trap by just calling and the two poker players head to a river. River – 6h:Nothing changes on the six of hearts river, and Cates checks the action over to Xuan. With just nine-high, will Xuan shove all in or will he check behind and give up on his bluff? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to see what happens!

AI in Education's Christmas Special: Hallucinations, Headbands, and Bad Ideas In this end-of-year Christmas special, Ray and Dan squeeze in one final episode to reflect on a whirlwind year in AI and education - with a healthy dose of festive chaos. They unpack the latest AI news, including Australia's National AI Plan, OpenAI's Australian data centre and teacher certification course, major university rollouts of ChatGPT, and global experiments like nationwide AI tools in schools and targeted funding for AI-assisted teaching. But this episode quickly moves beyond policy and platforms into something more fun - and more unsettling! Ray challenges Dan with a "Real or Hallucinated?" quiz featuring AI products that may (or may not) exist, from focus-monitoring headbands and robot teachers to pet translators and laugh-track smart speakers. Along the way, they explore what these products reveal about current AI practice, the risks of anthropomorphising technology, and why education must keep humans firmly at the centre of learning - even as experimentation accelerates. It's a light-hearted but thoughtful way to wrap up 2025, and a reminder that just because AI can do something, doesn't always mean it should.   News Items in the episode   Tech companies advised to label and 'watermark' AI-generated content https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-01/ai-guidance-label-watermark-ai-content/106083786    El Salvador announces national AI program with Grok for Education https://x.ai/news/el-salvador-partnership    Hong Kong schools to get HK$500,000 (about AU$100K/ US$65K) each under AI education plan https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/education/article/3336600/hong-kong-schools-get-hk500000-each-under-hk500-million-ai-education-plan    OpenAI to open Australian hosted service https://www.afr.com/technology/openai-becomes-major-tenant-in-7b-data-centre-deal-20251204-p5nkr4    OpenAI ChatGPT for Teachers foundations course https://www.linkedin.com/posts/chatgpt-for-education_new-for-k-12-educators-chatgpt-foundations-activity-7404242317718487042-He9H    La Trobe chooses ChatGPT Education https://www.latrobe.edu.au/news/articles/2025/release/openai-collaboration-drives-inclusion,-innovation    Australia's Nation AI Plan https://www.industry.gov.au/publications/national-ai-plan

Double Tap Episode 439 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Gideon Optics, Primary Arms, Night Fision, Blue Alpha, Bowers Group, and Second Call Defense   Welcome to Double Tap, episode 439! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Jon Patton and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Jon Patton - https://theguncollective.com/ Dear WLS Hunter M - Wanting to upgrade my Ender 3 Pro to a Bambu X1C, but I am hesitant to buy one if there is a possibility of blocking 2A prints. I have seen where some people suggest never connecting it to the internet and only printing off of SD cards but it seems like you could be missing out on a ton of features. Is it worth it to connect it to the internet or play it safe and only use it offline? If it was connected and they pushed out anti-gun restrictions how could you get the printer back to printing freedom? Conner R - What are your go to snacks or meals when hiking, camping, hunting, or rucking? What are you favorite meals in general? Thanks!l Uvuana Suqit - Why does every host on the Firearms Radio Network seem to have an astigmatism? And a bunch of other media people in the firearms industry in general. I hear constantly about not being able to use red dots because of astigmatism, making the dot not a perfect circle, and some other shape. Just want to say that the projection on the glass for red dots won't be a perfect circle with the way they are designed/manufactured, and the “dot” has a weird shape because it is projecting a bunch of tiny dots to a general area on the glass to make up the dot. It does not create a perfect circle. And if you focus on the “dot,” then you will see “imperfection” vs looking at the target where the “imperfection” will be nonexistent, with the general dot shape being over the target. I'm just curious if everyone is mistaking this inherent design of the red dot projection for something that is wrong with their eyes. And when every host says they have an astigmatism, it just seems odd. Karl F - The conflict in Ukraine has demonstrated the usefulness of small drones when it comes to both reconnaissance and delivery of payloads. This usefulness could definitely extend beyond combat to a SHTF scenario. Have any of you considered adding a drone to your gear collection?#blamecanada Oopsie Daisy - If you wanted to escape thermal imaging, do you think throwing a mylar poncho over the wool Five Star Alterations poncho would have a greater effect on reducing your thermal signature? For no one in particular, I'm interested to hear all of your opinions on this. Nate B - How far back is too far back for barrel porting? I understand you'd like the port as far forward as possible as that is where it's most beneficial (better tilt point) but I've seen ported Glocks and other pistols where they have multiple, tiny holes that seem to be fairly close to the chamber. Also ports > comps Anthony L - I wanted to ask what sites you use for the 3d print files. Thank you   The winner of this week's swag pack is Oopsie Daisy!

A lot of money spent for very little actionable result, and relief that Australia didn't drop a billion dollars hosting it.[00:16:15] The BOM Website FiascoJoel tears into the Bureau of Meteorology's upgrade. What was sold as a $4 million "interface" refresh has skyrocketed to $94 million.

With the Ravager in pieces, Telos seemingly saved, and an army of HK-51s unleashed, the Exile and the (remaining) crew of the Ebon Hawk heads to the place where it all began: Malachor V. There, at the end of a multi-level dungeon and a couple of boss fights, the two remaining Sith Lords stand in wait. And in classic KOTOR II fashion, what they have to offer is tantalizing, memorable, and famously unfinished. And that's that for KOTOR II. Thank you for coming on this amazing journey. We can't wait to kick off a new series in the new year... but first... Next Time: THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL Show Notes  

After a climactic confrontation on Dantooine, the Exile and the (remaining) crew of the Ebon Hawk return to Telos, chasing after the Handmaiden and Kreia. There, the Handmaiden faces down her sisters, the Exile comes face to face with Atris (if that is still her name), and HK-47 fights his way through a factory of hostility-ending droids. Then, above Telos, war breaks out. Darth Nihlus arrives at the helm of his corpse-of-a-ship, the Ravager, hoping to find a buffet of Jedi to devour. Instead he finds only his old disciple, a pissed off Mandalorian warlord, and a once-exiled Jedi.
