Podcasts about Jin

Esta noche nos adentramos en una historia incómoda, casi visceral. “Carne con queso, comida de preso” es un cuento que juega con una de las sensaciones más primitivas del terror: el encierro. Un espacio reducido, la falta de agua, el hambre, la oscuridad… y la lenta degradación física y mental de alguien que no entiende cómo ha llegado allí.

This story, reported in The Washington Post on May 8, 1896, involved students like Im Byung Goo and Ahn Jung Sik, supported by diplomat Suh Kwang Bum amid Korea's late-19th-century turmoil after the Sino-Japanese War and Queen Min's assassination.The album's 14 tracks draw from influences like trip-hop and old-school hip-hop, produced by Pdogg, Kevin Parker (Tame Impala), Flume, JPEGMAFIA, Mike WiLL Made-It, Ryan Tedder, and Diplo (executive producer on tracks including “Body to Body,” “FYA,” “Like Animals,” “One More Night,” and “Into the Sun”). The concept emphasizes maturity, cultural resilience, connection, distance, and reunion—echoing "Arirang" as Korea's unofficial anthem with over 60 regional variations.Visuals feature the members in formal suits inspired by early 20th-century portraits, mirroring the 1896 students. The promotional campaign, "What Is Your Love Song?", includes interactive installations and billboards in Seoul, New York, London, and Los Angeles.Post-release highlights include the Netflix-livestreamed comeback concert BTS The Comeback Live | ARIRANG on March 21, 2026, at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, plus the 2026 BTS World Tour: ARIRANG launching April 9 in Goyang, South Korea—spanning 82 shows across 34 cities on five continents, with North American stops in Tampa, Las Vegas, Baltimore, Toronto, Chicago, and Los Angeles.Analytic Dreamz analyzes how this comeback bridges BTS's global K-pop dominance with deep Korean heritage, marking a reflective evolution for the group.Tune in for a detailed cultural and musical breakdown of BTS's Arirang era.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/exclusive-contentPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

What if everything we've been taught about illness only tells half the story? In this episode, Darin dives into one of the most controversial debates in the history of modern medicine: germ theory versus terrain theory. While conventional medicine focuses on identifying pathogens and eliminating them, terrain theory asks a deeper question, why do some people get sick while others exposed to the same pathogen remain perfectly healthy? Tracing the history from Louis Pasteur and Antoine Béchamp to the economic forces that shaped the modern medical system, Darin explores how our internal biological environment, our terrain, may be the real determining factor in health and disease. From cellular voltage and mitochondrial function to microbiome diversity, inflammation, nutrition, toxins, and stress physiology, the science increasingly points toward one central truth: health is shaped by the environment inside the body. Most importantly, Darin breaks down the practical pillars of terrain optimization, simple but powerful daily choices that strengthen resilience, support immunity, and restore the body's natural balance. What You'll Learn The historical battle between germ theory and terrain theory Why exposure to pathogens does not automatically lead to disease The role of Louis Pasteur, Antoine Béchamp, and Claude Bernard in shaping modern medicine How the Flexner Report of 1910 reshaped medical education and marginalized holistic medicine Why modern healthcare often focuses on pathogens instead of the body's internal environment The importance of cellular voltage and mitochondrial health in disease prevention How the microbiome influences immunity, metabolism, and inflammation The surprising connection between vitamin D levels and immune resilience Why chronic inflammation is a central driver of modern diseases How stress, toxins, sleep, and nutrition shape the body's terrain The science behind grounding, sunlight, and circadian rhythm regulation Practical strategies for optimizing your internal terrain and strengthening resilience Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to the SuperLife podcast and the mission of building health sovereignty 00:00:33 – Sponsor: reducing plastic waste with Bite toothpaste tablets 00:02:47 – Introduction to today's topic: germ theory vs terrain theory 00:03:10 – Why Darin began exploring this controversial health debate years ago 00:03:54 – What if everything we've been taught about illness is only half the story? 00:04:35 – How our internal biological environment shapes disease susceptibility 00:05:10 – The importance of optimizing the body's internal terrain 00:06:00 – Looking back to the 1800s: the scientific battle that shaped modern medicine 00:06:17 – Louis Pasteur and the rise of germ theory 00:07:20 – The successes of germ theory: antibiotics, vaccines, and sterilization 00:08:01 – Antoine Béchamp and the foundation of terrain theory 00:08:45 – The concept of microbial polymorphism and environmental adaptation 00:09:40 – When microbes become pathogenic in weakened terrain 00:10:00 – Pasteur's alleged deathbed admission: "The microbe is nothing, the terrain is everything" 00:10:45 – Claude Bernard and the concept of the internal environment 00:11:00 – The Flexner Report and the restructuring of American medical education 00:11:45 – How holistic and integrative medical schools were shut down 00:12:30 – The rise of the pharmaceutical-centered medical model 00:13:00 – Why modern doctors often receive little training in nutrition 00:13:45 – The consequences of a pathogen-centered healthcare system 00:14:00 – How economic interests influenced the trajectory of medicine 00:14:20 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality mineral support and cellular optimization 00:16:11 – The science of terrain and how it shows up across multiple disciplines 00:16:47 – Bioelectricity and the role of cellular voltage in health 00:17:20 – The transmembrane potential and healthy cellular voltage levels 00:17:50 – Otto Warburg's discovery of low oxygen environments in cancer cells 00:18:30 – Dr. Jerry Tennant's research on voltage and chronic disease 00:19:00 – The microbiome revolution in modern science 00:19:30 – Why the body contains roughly 38 trillion microbial cells 00:20:00 – How gut bacteria influence immune response 00:20:30 – Research showing microbiome diversity affects viral susceptibility 00:21:00 – Why exposure to pathogens does not always result in illness 00:21:30 – The role of nutrition, sleep, and stress in immune resilience 00:21:55 – Vitamin D deficiency as a major predictor of disease severity 00:22:30 – Chronic inflammation as the root of modern disease 00:23:00 – Mitochondria: the cellular energy system 00:23:40 – How mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to chronic illness 00:24:00 – The connection between nutrient availability and mitochondrial health 00:24:30 – The pillars of terrain optimization 00:25:00 – Why minerals are foundational for cellular health 00:25:30 – Magnesium deficiency and inflammatory disease 00:26:00 – Building a mineral-rich diet for optimal physiology 00:26:20 – Invitation to the SuperLife Patreon community 00:27:55 – Supporting the microbiome through diet and lifestyle 00:28:20 – Why dietary diversity increases microbial resilience 00:29:00 – The importance of sunlight, grounding, and circadian rhythm 00:30:00 – Sleep and the brain's detoxification system 00:31:00 – Environmental toxins and the body's detox pathways 00:31:45 – Stress physiology and its destructive impact on the terrain 00:33:00 – Rebuilding resilience through lifestyle choices 00:34:00 – Final thoughts on reclaiming control over your health 00:35:17 – Closing message and end of episode Thank You to Our Sponsors Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.

Without the right internal conditions, the spark simply goes out. But when the terrain is depleted—when our bodies are stressed, inflamed, nutrient deficient, and toxic—that same spark can ignite disease. The power we have is in shaping the terrain every single day." Bibliography/Sources: Bai, Y., Ocampo, J., Jin, G., Chen, S., Benet-Martínez, V., Monroy, M., Anderson, C., & Keltner, D. (2021).

In this episode, we return to the island for a pivotal chapter of Lost—Season 4, Episode 7, “Ji Yeon.” What begins as a seemingly tender flash-forward centered on Sun soon reveals one of the show's most devastating structural twists. As we follow Sun preparing to give birth in the future while Jin struggles through a chaotic mission on the island, the episode quietly builds toward a revelation that reshapes how we understand the timeline and the cost of survival. We unpack how the episode plays with audience expectations, the emotional weight behind Sun and Jin's relationship, and why the final moments remain one of the most haunting gut punches in the series.From there, we shift from the mysteries of the island to gothic cinema with a review of Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride, starring Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale. Gyllenhaal reimagines the classic monster myth with a darkly romantic lens, blending horror, tragedy, and social commentary. We dive into Buckley's striking performance, Bale's presence in the film's shadowy world, and how Gyllenhaal continues the bold directorial voice she first established with The Lost Daughter. Does The Bride reinvent the Frankenstein legacy—or simply dress it in new clothes? We break down the film's themes, performances, and visual style in this week's deep-dive review. Be sure to stay tuned for more in-depth reviews, analysis and breakdowns every week only on the #talkintvpodcast

In this episode, Jin Ong explores why being specific is essential when it comes to processing your emotions. Rather than trying to “release anger” or “clear sadness” in a vague, general way, Jin explains why it's far more powerful to work with concrete experiences, memories, events, and interactions where those emotions first arose but were never fully expressed.

In Iran ist Rap Teil der Widerstandsbewegung. Der deutsch-iranische Filmemacher Omid Mirnour ordnet im Deep Dive die Rolle der Hip Hop-Kultur in Iran ein und wieso er 2024 seinen Dokufilm „Rap & Revolution Iran“ veröffentlicht hat, um genau auf dieses Thema aufmerksam zu machen. Seit einer Woche herrscht Krieg im Iran und Omid spricht im Gespräch nicht nur über Musik, sondern auch darüber, wie sich die aktuelle Lage auf die gesellschaftliche Realität auswirkt.  Während wir hierzulande über Klickzahlen streiten, riskieren Künstler wie Toomaj Salehi für seine regimekritische Musik ihr Leben. Wir erfahren in dieser Sonderfolge,  wie Musik zum Treibstoff von iranischen Protesten wie der “Jin, Jiyan, Azadî”-Bewegung (“Frau, Leben, Freiheit“) wurde. Warum ist Rap in Iran verboten und welchem Risiko setzen sich Rapper*innen aus, wenn sie trotzdem Musik rausbringen? Nach welchem Gesetz werden Musiker*innen überhaupt verhaftet und wieso sind die möglichen Konsequenzen von Regime-Kritik sowohl im Inland als auch in der Diaspora zu spüren?  Omid Mirnour bringt 14 Jahre Erfahrung aus der Film- und Medienbranche mit ( u.a. fiktionale Serien, Dokufilme, Musikvideos, Werbefilme uvm.) und gewährt uns einen Blick hinter die Kulissen seiner hochemotionalen Independent-Produktionen.  Hier erfährst du mehr über die Bedeutung von Rap in Iran innerhalb der Geschichte und aktuellen politischen Situation, den Einfluss von Social Media auf den Protest und warum die Hoffnung auf Freiheit trotz massiver Unterdrückung lebendig ist.

Jin Ong interviews Gracie about an 18-month transformational journey that began with Jin's Release emotional-processing program and expanded into major life shifts: ending a toxic relationship, launching into real estate (an 18-unit apartment acquisition), discovering a high‑paying travel nanny career, and receiving unexpected financial support. This episode covers how emotional work created space for clarity, boundaries, embodiment work that collapsed timelines for her vision, and practical lessons in property management, hiring, self-care and receiving. Key Takeaways - Emotional processing creates space to receive opportunities (money, jobs, properties) and clarity about values and boundaries. - Vision + embodiment work can accelerate long-term goals; follow-through and daily connection to desire statements amplify results. - Real estate acquisitions often arrive unconventionally (seller financing, negotiation). Persistence, clear communication and relationship-building matter. - Managing investments requires flexibility: delegate where useful, but be prepared to step in and learn practical skills. - High‑paying, unconventional roles (like travel nannying) can align with financial and time‑freedom goals — vet alignment with values, not only pay. - Group support and live coaching accelerate integration and provide real-time emotional containment during crises. - Receiving help, severance or unexpected funds can be part of how tangible support arrives—remain open and grounded.

On Thursday afternoon, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz walked into a leading Chinese robotics company in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, for a tour and a robotic performance before wrapping up a two-day China visit that was both fruitful and significant.At Unitree, Merz watched the same martial arts performance by quadruped robots that was showcased during the 2026 Spring Festival Gala, which was livestreamed to hundreds of millions of viewers at home and abroad. Merz showed interest in the company's robotic hands and quadruped robots, learning about their applications and development.The one-hour tour, part of Merz's first trip to China since assuming office in May last year, demonstrated the two countries' shared desire to seize new opportunities for future development.Merz was the first foreign leader received by China in the Year of the Horse. Upon his arrival on Wednesday, he wrote in Chinese in a social media post: "Berlin and Beijing are nearly 7,500 kilometers apart. For many years, we have been very happy to bridge this distance. For me, it is very important to maintain and deepen our diplomatic and economic relations. To achieve this goal, we need open channels of dialogue."President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang met separately and held talks with Merz on Wednesday. Together with over 60 Chinese and German business leaders, Merz and Li also attended a symposium of the China-Germany economic advisory committee. The two countries inked a number of cooperative agreements in green transition, customs, sports and media. They also issued a joint media statement in which the two sides agreed to properly resolve each other's concerns through dialogue.Speaking to reporters at the end of his trip, Merz said he witnessed and supported the launch of new business partnerships during the visit."For me, it was important to gain a firsthand impression of the country, including through discussions with government leaders and business representatives," he said, noting that he was impressed by China's high level of technological development.For example, he said he was impressed by "Mercedes-Benz's advances in autonomous driving in China, Unitree's progress in robotics, and companies producing in China for the global market".Siemens CEO Roland Busch, who was among senior executives from about 30 leading German companies accompanying Merz, said Hangzhou is a highly innovative city — "perhaps the Tech Valley of China".Busch noted that China is seeking to boost productivity through automation and digitalization, areas in which Siemens holds strong global advantages — in industrial software and automation.As 2026 marks the start of China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period, the world's two major economies are expected to foster greater synergy between the plan and Germany's development strategies, in order to achieve mutually beneficial cooperation at higher standards, analysts said.Michael Schumann, chairman of the German Federal Association for Economic Development and Foreign Trade, said China's rapid progress in robotics and industrial artificial intelligence — visible during Merz's visit to Unitree — creates significant opportunities to combine German strengths in precision engineering, automation and industrial software with China's scale and speed of technological deployment."With continued dialogue and practical cooperation in future industries, Sino-German business ties can contribute meaningfully to global technological progress and sustainable industrial transformation, for the benefit of people in both our countries and beyond," Schumann said.Feng Zhongping, director of the Institute of European Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said Merz's visit shows a return to a pragmatic and rational approach in Germany's China policy."Merz's visit sent a signal that as the world's third-largest economy, Germany sees broad space for cooperation with China, the second-largest economy, and is seeking to expand cooperation grounded in mutual benefit," Feng said.He added that German officials and business leaders are willing to better understand China's upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan, including its development priorities and strategic focus areas, in order to identify new opportunities for collaboration.Jin Ling, director of the Department for Global Governance and International Organization Studies at the China Institute of International Studies, said Merz's visit carries significance against the backdrop of debate within Europe over how to approach China.By emphasizing partnership and a cooperative tone, Merz has sent a signal aimed at filtering out "noise" and external interference, she said.Merz is the latest in a string of Western leaders to visit Beijing within just a few months, following visits by French President Emmanuel Macron, Irish Taoiseach, or prime minister, Micheal Martin, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer."These visits reflect recognition of China's global role and the opportunities presented by its market. Missing out on the Chinese market would mean missing out on opportunities," Jin said.

President Xi Jinping said on Wednesday that the more volatile and turbulent the international situation becomes, the greater the need for China and Germany to strengthen strategic communication, enhance mutual trust and promote the continuous new development of their comprehensive strategic partnership.Xi made the remarks when receiving German Chancellor Friedrich Merz as the first foreign leader in the Year of the Horse at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing. Merz arrived on Wednesday morning for his inaugural visit to China since taking office in May last year."The Chinese New Year celebrations continue until the Lantern Festival. Your visit during the Chinese New Year is just like friends and relatives visiting each other," Xi told the German guest, saying that it fully reflects the closeness and high level of China-Germany relations.Xi called on the two sides to use the stability and vitality of China-Germany ties to promote cooperation in China-European Union relations and contribute to harmony and common good in a turbulent world.Speaking about the future development of China-Germany relations, Xi said the two countries should strive to be reliable partners that support each other, partners for innovation committed to openness and mutual benefit, and partners in cultural exchanges that understand and respect one another.Xi stressed that China remains committed to the path of peaceful development and has both the confidence and capability to advance Chinese modernization. China will continue to share development opportunities with countries around the world, including Germany, he said. It is hoped that Germany will view China's development in an objective and rational way, uphold a positive China policy and meet China halfway to work for sustained and steady progress in growing China-Germany relations, Xi said.The two sides should strengthen the alignment of their development strategies, promote the two-way flow of talent, knowledge and technology, and enhance dialogue and cooperation in frontier fields such as artificial intelligence, he said.Xi said that China and Germany should properly handle the relationship between competition and cooperation, explore mutually beneficial and win-win pathways of cooperation, and jointly keep industrial and supply chains stable and unimpeded.Noting that both China and Germany are major countries with profound cultural heritage, Xi called on the two sides to deepen mutual learning between civilizations, expand people-to-people exchanges and consolidate the public foundation of friendship between the two nations.Xi also noted the importance of China and Germany upholding the central role of the United Nations and reinvigorating its leading role.Beijing and Berlin should take the lead in being upholders of multilateralism, practitioners of international rule of law, defenders of free trade and advocates of solidarity and coordination, he said.Xi said China supports Europe's efforts to strengthen its strategic autonomy and hopes the EU will work with China in the same direction, uphold the positioning of their strategic partnership, adhere to openness, inclusiveness and win-win cooperation, and promote greater development of China-EU relations in order to make a larger contribution to world peace and development.Merz said the German side attaches great importance to its relations with China and remains firmly committed to the one-China policy. Germany stands ready to work with China to carry forward the tradition of friendship, uphold mutual respect, openness and cooperation, and continuously deepen the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries, he said.Merz, who is accompanied by a high-level trade delegation with senior executives from around 30 leading German companies, said the German business community places high importance on the Chinese market and hopes to further expand cooperation to achieve mutual benefit and shared development.Xi and Merz also exchanged views on the Ukraine crisis. Xi outlined China's principled position on the crisis, saying that seeking solutions through dialogue and negotiation is key to the issue.Xi noted the necessity of ensuring the equal participation of all parties to lay a solid foundation for peace, addressing the legitimate concerns of all sides to strengthen the will for peace, and achieving common security to build a lasting framework for peace.The two sides issued a joint press statement, in which they expressed their willingness to properly address each other's concerns through candid and open dialogue, so as to ensure a long-term, balanced, reliable and sustainable economic and trade relationship.As part of his two-day visit, Merz is scheduled to tour Beijing's Forbidden City and the Mercedes-Benz production facility, before traveling to Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province, to visit Chinese robotics company Unitree and German turbine manufacturer Siemens Energy.Jin Ling, director of the Department for Global Governance and International Organizations at the China Institute of International Studies, said Merz's visit itself carries significance against the backdrop of debate within Europe over how to approach China.By emphasizing partnership and a cooperative tone, Merz has sent a signal aimed at filtering out "noise" and external interference, and at anchoring China-Germany and China-EU relations in pragmatic cooperation, she said.Merz is the latest in a string of Western leaders to visit Beijing in close succession within just a few weeks after French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer."These visits reflect recognition of China's global role and the opportunities presented by its market.

Recently, the sitting president of the United States posted a video portraying the Obamas as apes. This blatant racism plays on one of the oldest, vilest, tropes of white supremacy that has been used to justify centuries of dehumanization of Black men and women. This is not an agree to disagree situation. Christ-followers must stand against this kind of evil rhetoric. In today's episode, Jin, Joy, and Bret discuss: How can we begin to talk about this plainly? Why is it so hard? How can we help each other do this better?

fWotD Episode 3214: Shigi Qutuqu Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 21 February 2026, is Shigi Qutuqu.Shigi Qutuqu (c. 1178 – 1260) was a high-ranking official during the early decades of the Mongol Empire. The adopted son of the empire's founder Temüjin (later entitled Genghis Khan) and his wife Börte, Shigi Qutuqu played an important role in the codification of Mongol law, serving with distinction as an administrator in North China. He may also have been a major source for the Secret History of the Mongols, which portrays him very favourably.Although the Secret History states that Shigi Qutuqu was adopted by Hö'elün, Temüjin's mother, chronological inconsistencies make this account improbable. The foundling was brought up in Temüjin's household and was one of the first Mongols to become literate. The Secret History exaggerates his role in the years after the empire's foundation, but Shigi Qutuqu was nevertheless appointed to several high-ranking legal positions, in which he served during the Mongol conquest of the Jin dynasty. He was the commander during the only Mongol defeat of the western campaign against Khwarazmia, being overcome by Jalal al-Din at the 1221 Battle of Parwan.Shigi Qutuqu continued his career as an official during the reign of his adoptive brother Ögedei Khan, Genghis's successor. He conducted a census of North China in 1235–1236 which allowed the Mongol administration to overhaul its fiscal policies. While some contemporaries found his decrees and judgements oppressive and biased, others praised his honesty and judicial integrity. Having survived power struggles during the reigns of Güyük and Möngke, Shigi Qutuqu died at the age of 81 during the Toluid Civil War.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:21 UTC on Saturday, 21 February 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Shigi Qutuqu on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Ruth.

在轉型正義的路上，許多年輕世代正以自己的方式，接住歷史留下的重量。投入人權議題多年的陳文成博士紀念基金會志工張瑀婕，正是其中一位。張瑀婕回憶，大一時第一次走進景美人權園區，白色恐怖與政治受難者的故事，對她而言仍停留在課本與考試範圍內。直到大三參與陳文成基金會舉辦的「人權辦桌」，首次與政治受難者面對面交流，讓她決定透過志工服務與活動策畫，持續投入轉型正義推廣工作。張瑀婕指出，隨著時間推移，社會對二二八事件與白色恐怖的理解仍存在混淆，因此她主張「紀念」與「記憶」必須並行，才能讓社會避免重蹈覆轍。她也針對最近的電影《世紀血案》爭議，說明白色恐怖遺族其實有人願意講他們的故事都非常感激，前提是須取得同意、然後有尊重，還原真正的歷史或是以人為出發點，是可以接受這些事情被拿來當做創作題材的。「創傷也許無法完全消失，但只要持續分享與對話，傷口就有機會慢慢癒合。」張瑀婕相信，當更多人願意理解過去，民主與人權的價值才能真正扎根。本集金句：我覺得不只是對白色恐怖、轉型正義這個議題，就是人要去同理其他人所發生的事情其實是很困難的，但就是對年輕人來說，不會知道說以前國家發生不好的事情跟現代的我有什麼關係，所以我們一開始對年輕人講的時候不會這麼嚴肅，直接跟他講說什麼政治迫害或壓迫，會跟他說如果有一天你沒有做壞事，突然被關十年，你會有什麼感想？或是有一天上街頭就突然被抓了，你家人突然不見了，你會怎麼辦？#張瑀婕 #陳文成 #白色恐怖 #轉型正義 #林義雄 #世紀血案財團法人陳文成博士紀念基金會http://www.cwcmf.org.tw/joomla/@陳文成博士紀念基金會https://www.facebook.com/cwcmf?locale=zh_TW@人權辦桌https://www.facebook.com/Jin.kuan.pan.toh/?locale=zh_TW#寶島聯播網 #寶島有意思---寶島有意思 準時放送---19：00~~~>北部-寶島新聲 FM98.5嘉義-嘉義之音FM91.3高雄-主人電台FM96.921：00~~~>中部-大千電台 FM99.1----------寶島有意思》挖掘台灣有意思的在地人、事、物。寶島聯播網》以「本土電台」為品牌定位，用心傳承台灣在地文化，傳遞台語流行音樂之美。https://www.baodaoradio.com.tw/寶島好康商城》堅持提供高品質、安心、實惠的好康產品。https://www.bodogo.com.tw/加入會員，支持節目： https://clw4248xv113d01wg7s4h2xnr.firstory.io/join留言告訴我你對這一集的想法： Powered by Firstory Hosting

Beijing urged Tokyo on Monday to adhere to peaceful development and follow the four political documents between China and Japan, which serve as the political foundation of bilateral relations.周一，中方敦促日方坚持和平发展，恪守作为中日双边关系政治基础的中日四个政治文件。Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian made the remarks at a regular news briefing after media reports said that Japan's ruling coalition had won a supermajority in a parliamentary election on Sunday.外交部发言人林剑在例行记者会上作出上述表态。此前有媒体报道称，日本执政联盟在周日的国会选举中赢得超三分之二的绝对多数席位。Though the election was an internal affair of Japan, it "indicated some deep-rooted issues and trends" that are "worthy of profound reflection", Lin said.林剑表示，选举虽是日本的国内事务，但本次选举反映一些深层次的结构性问题，以及思潮动向、趋势，值得日本各界有识之士和国际社会深思。"We urge Japan's ruling authorities to face, rather than ignore, the concerns of the international community, to follow the path of peaceful development instead of returning to militarism," Lin said.“我们敦促日本执政当局正视而不是漠视国际社会的关切，走和平发展道路而不是重蹈军国主义覆辙。”林剑说。He called on Japan to "abide by the four political documents between China and Japan, rather than go back on commitments made".他同时敦促日方恪守中日四个政治文件，而不是背信弃义。Japan's ruling coalition of the Liberal Democratic Party and the Japan Innovation Party secured 352 seats in the snap election, surpassing the two-thirds majority needed to enact bills approved by the House of Representatives, or lower house, but rejected by the House of Councillors, or upper house, public broadcaster NHK reported early Monday.据日本公共广播机构NHK周一早些时候报道，由自民党与日本维新会组成的日本执政联盟，在此次临时选举中斩获352个席位，超过了使众议院通过的法案在遭参议院否决后仍可生效所需的三分之二多数门槛。The LDP, which had 198 seats before the election, gained control of two-thirds of the 465-member lower house on its own after winning 316 seats.选前拥有198个席位的自民党，此次独得316席，单独掌控了465个席位的众议院三分之二以上席位。Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's victory in Sunday's vote has drawn growing attention to the country's political trajectory and regional security outlook. Experts warned that the result could accelerate Japan's rightward shift, strengthen its military posture and heighten regional tensions.日本首相高市早苗在周日选举中的胜选，引发外界对日本政治走向与地区安全前景的高度关注。专家警告称，此次选举结果或将加速日本右倾化进程，强化其军事姿态，加剧地区紧张局势。Hiroshi Shiratori, a professor at Hosei University in Tokyo, told China Daily that the election result is likely to push Japan to further advance its security and intelligence agenda.日本法政大学教授白鸟浩接受《中国日报》采访时表示，选举结果可能推动日本进一步推进其安保与情报相关议程。Since taking office in October, Takaichi has not made a clear commitment in the Diet — the Japanese parliament- to uphold Japan's long-standing Three Non-Nuclear Principles — not possessing nuclear weapons, not producing them and not permitting their entry into the country — but instead has moved to increase defense spending and revise key security documents.高市早苗自去年10月就任首相以来，并未在日本国会明确承诺坚守日本长期奉行的无核三原则（不拥有、不制造、不运进核武器），反而着手增加防卫开支、修订核心安保文件。On the issue of constitutional revision, Shiratori noted that the LDP's acquisition of more than two-thirds of the seats in the House of Representatives means it now has the numbers needed to initiate a constitutional amendment in the lower house.在修宪问题上，白鸟浩指出，自民党拿下众议院超三分之二席位，意味着其已具备在众议院发起修宪动议的席位条件。A two-thirds majority is a key threshold in modern Japanese politics, as it is required to initiate the constitutional amendment process, which also needs a referendum.三分之二多数席位是日本现代政治的关键门槛，发起修宪程序需达到这一要求，修宪最终还需经由全民公投通过。"If constitutional revision moves forward, Japan may shift from its passive, exclusively defense-oriented posture to a more active exercise of the right of collective self-defense, and could even pursue more proactive overseas operations," Shiratori said.“若修宪进程推进，日本或将从被动的专守防卫姿态，转向更主动地行使集体自卫权，甚至可能推行更具进攻性的海外军事行动。”白鸟浩说。The professor also noted that Article 9 of the Constitution of Japan, which renounces war as a sovereign right and prohibits Japan from maintaining armed forces with the potential to wage a war, is founded on a pacifist principle, adding that the Three Non-Nuclear Principles serve as an important guardrail of that pacifism.他还指出，日本宪法第九条放弃以国家主权发动战争的权利，禁止日本保有可发动战争的军事力量，这一条款以和平主义为根基；而无核三原则，则是守护这一和平主义的重要屏障。Jin Yongming, a professor at Ocean University of China's School of International Affairs and Public Administration, said the result of the election is likely to steer Japan toward a more assertive military and diplomatic posture, heightening regional tensions and increasing the risk of confrontation.中国海洋大学国际事务与公共管理学院教授金永明表示，此次选举结果或将让日本采取更强硬的军事与外交姿态，加剧地区紧张局势，提升对抗风险。"Japan's Diet is likely to tilt further to the right. Under a government led by Takaichi, there could be renewed efforts to revise its 'three security documents', ease restrictions on arms exports, and expand Japan's military capabilities, which would mark a significant shift away from its postwar pacifist trajectory to a more overtly militarized posture," Jin said.“日本国会或将进一步右倾。在高市早苗领导的政府执政下，日方或再度推进修订‘安保三文件'、放宽武器出口限制、扩充军事力量，这标志着日本将大幅偏离战后和平主义轨道，转向更为公开的军事化姿态。”金永明说。Lin, the Foreign Ministry spokesman, warned that Japan's far-right forces will face resistance from the Japanese people and a strong response from the international community if they misjudge the situation and act recklessly.外交部发言人林剑警告，日本极右翼势力若误判形势，恣意妄为，必将遭到日本人民的抵制和国际社会迎头痛击。China's policies toward Japan remain stable and consistent, and will not change because of a single election in Japan, Lin said, urging the Japanese side to retract Takaichi's previous erroneous remarks that hinted at military intervention in the Taiwan Strait.林剑表示，中方对日政策始终保持稳定性和连续性，不会因日本某一次选举而变化，同时敦促日方撤回高市早苗此前暗示武力介入台湾海峡的错误言论。Japan should take concrete actions and demonstrate the necessary sincerity in upholding the political foundation of bilateral relations, Lin added.他还表示，日方应以实际行动展现维护中日关系政治基础的基本诚意。Jin, from Ocean University of China, warned that "tensions and strategic rivalry" between the two countries are likely to persist in the foreseeable future, as Japan has long portrayed China as a "challenge" to its national interests and has amplified the so-called "China threat" narrative. It has also actively sought to build exclusive security blocs aimed at constraining China's development, he said.金永明还警告，中日两国的紧张关系与战略博弈在可预见的未来或将持续。日本长期将中国定位为其国家利益的“挑战”，大肆渲染所谓“中国威胁论”，还积极打造排他性安全集团，企图遏制中国发展。"Heightened confrontation between China and Japan would likely weigh on Japan's trade with China, undermining the performance of its manufacturing sector and constraining broader economic growth. It could also impede the momentum of regional cooperation, slowing both its overall progress and institutional development," he added.他补充道，中日对抗升级，势必冲击日本对华贸易，拖累其制造业表现，制约日本整体经济增长；同时也会阻碍地区合作势头，延缓区域整体发展与机制化建设进程。regular news briefing /ˈreɡjələr njuːz ˈbriːfɪŋ/例行记者会militarism /ˈmɪlɪtərɪzəm/军国主义go back on commitments made /ɡəʊ bæk ɒn kəˈmɪtmənts meɪd/ 背信弃义enact bills /ɪˈnækt bɪlz/ 颁布法案political trajectory /pəˈlɪtɪkl trəˈdʒektəri/政治轨迹intelligence /ɪnˈtelɪdʒəns/情报constitutional revision /ˌkɒnstɪˈtjuːʃənl rɪˈvɪʒn/宪法修订referendum /ˌrefəˈrendəm/全民公投proactive /ˌprəʊˈæktɪv/ 进攻性的pacifist /ˈpæsɪfɪst/和平主义的overtly /əʊˈvɜːtli/公开地Japan's far-right forces /dʒəˈpænz ˈfɑː-raɪt ˈfɔːsɪz/日本极右翼势力recklessly /ˈrekləsli/鲁莽地

Podle ministryně financí Aleny Schillerové (ANO) je navržený deficit maximum možného. "Nás to samozřejmě trápí, protože kdyby bylo jenom na nás Motoristech, tak bychom asi škrtali ještě víc. Ale v tento moment to není možné, “ řekl v Ptám se já poslanec a místopředseda sněmovního hospodářského výboru Igor Červený z koaličních Motoristů. Právě jeho strana před volbami slibovala vyrovnané rozpočty. „Rozpočet není ideální a my jsme z něho všichni napříč celou koalicí smutní. Proto se letos pokusíme změnit co nejvíce zákonů, abychom osekali mandatorní výdaje a nastavili jsme ten trend k tomu, že to budeme vracet zpátky.“Podle Červeného se Motoristům zatím daří, a to i přes vleklý spor s prezidentem Petrem Pavlem o jmenování poslance Filipa Turka ministrem životního prostředí. Jiného kandidáta přitom strana navrhovat nechce. Emotivní debatu teď navíc přiživil sponzor Motoristů, podnikatel Richard Chlad s prohlášením, že by se mohl ministrem stát on sám.„Řekl bych, že si prostě dělal legraci. A já nemůžu za to, že média už ztrácí smysl pro humor. My máme mozek a víme, že je to nadsázka a legrace. Takže z toho nemůžeme být nervózní,“ komentoval to Červený. Jak se poslancům Motoristů líbí chování jejich předsedy Petra Macinky? A jak strana plní svůj slib, že pohlídá Babiše? -- Podcast Ptám se já.

Otázka jmenování Filipa Turka (za Motoristy) ministrem je podle prezidenta Petra Pavla i premiéra Andreje Babiše (ANO) uzavřená kapitola, obě ministerstva povede dál Petr Macinka (Motoristé). „Zatím oba resorty velmi dobře zvládá. Jiného kandidáta nemáme a ustupovat pořád nebudeme,“ říká v Pro a proti poslankyně Motoristů Gabriela Sedláčková. „Jediný, kdo by v tuto chvíli mohl rozhodnout, je Ústavní soud,“ reaguje předseda spolku Milion chvilek pro demokracii Mikuláš Minář.Všechny díly podcastu Pro a proti můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Recorded February 8, 2026   Ms. Jin-dependent Jini Clausen checks in with us in our last episode before the long Olympic break.   After commiserating and complaining about the ongoing hyper winter weather here in the DMV….We take time to put a post mortem on the situation with the Washington Post. In particular we send our best vibes to Bailey Johnson who was until recently the Caps beat writer.   We then recap all 3 games from another winning week...Caps come out 2-1 as the begin their battle to earn a playoffs spot. After the recaps, Jini presents her report on the homework assignment she was given many weeks ago about a key stat for Our Caps. Anna gives her own take from her perspective as well. We like to say this is a one of a kind type of show. Trust me you will want to tune in to this discussion--you will not get it anywhere else.   The show takes a bit of a happy detour admittedly as we have a bit of trouble saying goodbye to you loyal listeners. Among the random subjects tossed out---Tom Wilson (naturally!) the Olympics and especially the performance of the Women's teams in their tournament.   Enjoy the Games! We will see you in a few weeks!     #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #JenayaTalksCaps #SucramsCapitalsOffTheirChain #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast #LockedOnCapitals    

Prestižní novinářskou Cenu Ferdinanda Peroutky získala šéfka komentářového oddělení Seznam Zpráv Kateřina Šafaříková. „Když uspějete a jste dobrá, je fér dostat ocenění,“ říká.Kateřina Šafaříková strávila přes dvacet let v časopisu Respekt, dvakrát byla zpravodajkou v Bruselu a pracovala i pro Lidové noviny. Do Seznam Zpráv přišla v létě 2024, nejprve jako moderátorka podcastu 5:59, loni v září se pak stala vedoucí komentářů.„Jsem často zvaná na debaty, abych pohovořila o tom, jak se to dělá, že někdo může mít dvě malé děti a být zahraniční zpravodajka, jak se to kloubí, jak se v tomhle dominantně mužském světě funguje ženě. A já vždycky říkám, že tajemství té věci je mít kuráž, vydržet a dělat to tak, jako to dělají muži,“ říká Šafaříková v nejnovějším dílu podcastu Mediální cirkus.Šafaříková začínala s novinařinou v roce 2000 v časopisu Respekt. O několik let později přestoupila do Lidových novin, které ji jako zpravodajku vyslaly do Bruselu. A to v době, kdy Česko do Evropské unie vstupovalo.„Mně bylo 28, když jsem odjížděla a tam byli kolegové z velkých britských a francouzských novin, kterým bylo 45 nebo 50, říkali nám naše mimina z postkomunistických zemí. Myslím ale, že dobrodružné to bylo i pro první české europoslance, české úředníky, diplomaty, prostě pro všechny to byla premiéra. A i v tomto smyslu myslím, že jsme byli mimina,“ vzpomíná Šafaříková.V Bruselu tehdy byla v letech 2004 až 2009. To, že na zpravodajský post odjela za redakci žena, byla podle jejích vzpomínek vlastně spíše náhoda. Obecně je totiž žen na zpravodajských postech výrazně méně než mužů.„Tu nabídku původně dostal můj mužský kolega, ale řekl, že se mu tam nechce, protože neví, jestli by ho to zajímalo a jestli by to zvládnul. A já jsem si řekla, že to zkusím. Jinými slovy, někdy si myslím, a to je tedy chyba nás žen, že bychom někdy měli mít minimálně stejně kuráže jako naši mužští kolegové a jít do toho,“ říká.Mašina na dohodyPodruhé do hlavního města Evropy odjela Šafaříková v roce 2020 jako zahraniční zpravodajka vydavatelství Economia. Tehdy jela se dvěma malými dětmi a v Bruselu byla v době druhého českého předsednictví.„Za těch necelých 20 let jsme dokázali vygenerovat jako stát dobré úředníky, diplomaty, experty. V době zejména druhého českého předsednictví EU, tedy v druhé půlce roku 2022, se o Češích říkalo: ‚Vy jste normální mašina na dohody‘,“ popisuje zkušenosti Šafaříková.„Jedna norská diplomatka, která do té doby neměla tolik osobních zkušeností ať už s námi, s Maďary, se Slováky, mi říkala: ‚Hele, já jsem si myslela, že vy Češi budete takoví druzí Maďaři nebo Poláci, ale vy jste spíš takoví druzí Němci, hrozně výkonní, funkční, manažerští, fungujete velmi dobře‘,“ dodává bývalá bruselská zpravodajka.Češi ale i přes dvacetileté členství a úspěšná předsednictví zůstávají k Evropské unii poměrně skeptičtí a u politiků napříč stranami je kritika EU častým tématem.Jaké to je, odjet na zahraniční zpravodajský post s malými dětmi? Jaké zprávy z Bruselu zajímaly Čechy nejvíc? A jak těžké to v médiích mají ženy?--Mediální cirkus. Podcast Marie Bastlové o dění na mediální scéně.

If we don't build it, China will.That's the rallying cry of the tech companies and governments racing to develop artificial intelligence as fast as humanly possible. The argument is that whoever reaches AGI first won't just be dominant technologically, or economically – they'll be the world's next super power. But, if I'm being honest, I don't know if that framing holds up. And part of the reason for that is that we don't really understand China.Enter Keyu Jin. Jin is a Harvard trained economist who splits her time between London and Beijing, and her book, The New China Playbook, is her attempt to “read China in the original” – to provide a firsthand look at the forces that shaped the country's unprecedented rise. China's success is a puzzle. How did one of the poorest nations on the planet become the second richest in less than a century? How did an economy without free markets birth a tech sector that rivals – and in some ways surpasses – Silicon Valley?The answers to these questions aren't academic. China became a global power without capitalism and without democracy, which means its success has profound implications for both.And as Canada sets out to find its footing in a rapidly changing world order, one thing is abundantly clear: we need to start reckoning with the Chinese playbook. Mentions:The New China Playbook, by Keyu Jin Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Radikální jaro na obzoru 2. - Ježíšova služba vysvobozování od démonů je prvním signálem, že jaro je skutečně na obzoru. Ovšem zde nekončí. Velmi často je vysvobozování kombinováno se službou uzdravení. Někdy uzdravuje, a objeví se tam člověk posedlý démony, jindy naopak vyžene nějakého démona, a lidé k němu přinesou své nemocné, kteří zažijí uzdravení. Znamená to, že každá nemoc je způsobena temnými silami? Určitě ne. Ale některé ano. Některé nemoci jsou přímým důsledkem života na světě, kde pořád ještě vládne smrt. Jiné jsou přímým útlakem temnoty na naše životy. V obou případech Ježíš vyhlašuje nemocem válku. V evangeliích ho vidíme plného soucitu nad utrpením, rozhorleného nad zlem, vidím tam jeho slzy, když se potkává s utrápenými lidmi. Ježíš uzdravoval proto, aby mu lidé uvěřili, že jej poslal Bůh Otec, že on je jeho Synem. Zároveň ale tyto zázraky byly skoro vždy situační, měly za cíl pomoci konkrétnímu člověku nebo lidem v nouzi. Znovu a znovu přemáhal soucit a lidem pomáhal v jejich nouzi, a tím znovu dokazoval, že mu na nich záleží.

Novopečený premiér Andrej Babiš odjel do Bruselu, aby se tam zachoval jako chytrá horákyně. „V Evropě máme státy, které podporují Ukrajinu, a státy, které ji nepodporují. Jen Andrej Babiš se tváří, že dělá obojí najednou,“ říká Lucie Stuchlíková. Babiš tvrdí, že za půjčku pro Ukrajinu sice ručit nebude, ale nedá se to srovnávat s postojem Slovenska a Maďarska, které jsou proti jakékoli pomoci. Jinými slovy: chceme pomáhat, ale ať to zaplatí ti ostatní. Babiš zkrátka vsadil na to, co je v Česku tak oblíbené - všechno nějak očůrat. „Je to takové typické švejkování, to dobré chceme pro sebe, to špatné má řešit někdo jiný,“ říká Václav Dolejší.„Všichni západní spojenci to ale samozřejmě vidí tak, jak to je doopravdy. A právem nás dávají do jednoho pytle s Orbánem a Ficem,“ dodává Dolejší.Proč Babiš údajně rozlomil německého kancléře Friedricha Merze? Co se děje na ministerstvech Petra Macinky (Motoristé sobě) a jaký byl jeden z prvních úkolů Andreje Babiše ve Strakově akademii?----Vlevo dole řeší politické kauzy, boje o vliv i šeptandu z kuloárů Sněmovny.

Nepochválím-li se sám, nikdo to za mne neudělá. Citát fiktivní literární postavy jménem Jára Cimrman si zjevně vzal za svůj končící premiér Petr Fiala. Jiný důvod k 80stránkové zprávě o stavu země, jejíž obsah lze shrnout do věty „koukejte, jak skvěle jsme vládli“, neexistuje.

In this solo episode, Darin explores a radical idea backed by ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience: that awe — a single embodied moment of wonder — may be the fastest biological doorway to expanding consciousness. Drawing on cutting-edge research, timeless spiritual traditions, and personal stories, Darin reveals how awe reduces inflammation, rewires the brain, quiets the ego, boosts vagal tone, expands time perception, and reconnects us to meaning in a world drowning in distraction.     What You'll Learn in This Episode 00:00 — Welcome to SuperLife: igniting sovereignty, possibility, and human potential 00:32 — Sponsor: Therasage — the most nutrient-dense food on Earth 01:51 — Today's topic: Awe as a biological shortcut to consciousness 02:00 — The definition of awe: when the world becomes bigger than your understanding 02:17 — Awe literally changes the brain — research from Dacher Keltner 02:23 — What if the fastest way to expand consciousness isn't meditation or psychedelics… but a single moment of awe? 02:34 — "Embodied awe" as a key humans have overlooked 02:41 — Science is catching up — the physiological effects of awe 02:47 — Awe reduces inflammation, rewires neural pathways, and increases connection 02:55 — Modern life has cut us off from awe — but nature left a back door 03:02 — Awe as a temporary collapse of ego → widening of consciousness 03:12 — What awe feels like: chest expansion, mind quieting, heart opening 03:22 — Awe is triggered by vastness — moments that shift your framework 03:31 — Awe motivates us to transcend self-interest and connect to something bigger 03:47 — Examples of awe: star-filled sky, ancient trees, rivers carving canyons 04:01 — 90% of humans can't see the stars anymore — light pollution crisis 04:23 — Awe in music, nature, micro-patterns, the beauty of small things 05:00 — Awe in ancient traditions: Darshan, Greek thauma, Biblical reverence 05:12 — Darin's hawk story — the personal power of unexpected awe 06:03 — The science of awe: IL-6, immune markers, inflammation reduction 06:28 — Awe quiets the Default Mode Network — the home of the ego 06:43 — Less rumination → more presence, clarity, and connection 07:06 — Awe expands time perception — Stanford research on "time abundance" 07:32 — Awe increases generosity, altruism, pro-social behavior 08:04 — Awe boosts vagal tone: calm, resilience, emotional regulation 08:22 — Why we are STARVING for awe — screens, indoor living, disconnection 08:57 — Sponsor: Caldera Lab 11:33 — "We've traded the vastness of the universe for tiny screens." 11:40 — How to reclaim awe: look at the sky, clouds, moon, trees 11:53 — Let your eyes adjust to nature again 12:03 — Astronomical awe puts your problems in perspective 12:14 — Awe as emotional first-aid: go outside, find the horizon 12:30 — Limit phone time — reduce micro-dopamine addiction 13:02 — Micro-awe: the patterns in a leaf, the sunlight through branches 13:12 — Nature is always available — if you choose it 13:16 — Awe as the ultimate nervous-system reset 13:27 — Circadian alignment: dim lights, follow nature 13:56 — Humility = freedom — awe repositions your place in the universe 14:19 — Awe is biological, spiritual, emotional nourishment 14:27 — Awe is the ultimate bio-hack 14:35 — Awe reduces inflammation, expands time, deepens empathy 14:46 — "Awe is the gateway to the self-transcendent." 14:55 — If you want more meaning, vitality, and connection — start with awe 15:02 — Awe reduces stress, boosts empathy, reconnects you to your soul 15:18 — Awe reconnects you to what actually matters 15:30 — Final message: Have yourself the best SuperLife day ever     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Caldera Lab: Experience the clinically proven benefits of Caldera Lab's clean skincare regimen and enjoy 20% off your order by visiting calderalab.com/darin and using code DARIN at checkout.     Join the SuperLife Community Get Darin's deeper wellness breakdowns — beyond social media restrictions: Weekly voice notes Ingredient deep dives Wellness challenges Energy + consciousness tools Community accountability Extended episodes Join for $7.49/month → https://patreon.com/darinolien     Find More from Darin Olien: Instagram: @darinolien Podcast: SuperLife Podcast Website: superlife.com Book: Fatal Conveniences     Key Takeaway "Awe isn't entertainment — it's medicine.
