How can a helicopter fly in space? How does LIGO detect gravitational waves? How do quantum electronic devices like Josephson junctions work? Could AI turn evil and destroy humanity? What about those grabby aliens? In this episode of Chuck GPT, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu answer audience questions about the technology of astronomy, astrophysics, and the future. To read those questions, we welcome back our executive producer Leslie Mullen, community director Stacey Severn, and intern Eleanor Adams. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing: the ESA's new Deep Space Antenna in Australia. This fourth antenna in ESA's network will be used to manage communications for their slate of upcoming missions. For our first audience question, Anna asks, “How is it possible that a helicopter can work in space? I heard that NASA launched a helicopter to Mars and is going to send one to Saturn in a few years.” Leslie, who worked at JPL, talks about the Perseverance Rover and its helicopter, Ingenuity. She explains that they're not actually flying in space, but in the atmospheres of a planet or a moon. Even so, the thin atmosphere of Mars (less than 1% of Earth's) created unique problems that don't exist on Earth. Leslie got to interview the inventor of Ingenuity, Bob Balaram, in her JPL podcast episode, “Flying with Ingenuity.” She describes how JPL tested the helicopter here on Earth, and what it was like the moment Ingenuity actually took flight. The team discusses Dragonfly, the helicopter that will be flying on Saturn's moon Titan, and how Titan's thick methane atmosphere creates an entirely different set of engineering problems than Ingenuity faced on Mars. Stacey reads our next question, from Joe: “Gravitational wave detectors like LIGO are said to detect changes in the length of space by less than the width of a proton. But how is that possible, if all the atoms that make up LIGO are so much bigger than protons?” Chuck explains interferometry (the I in LIGO!) and Allen offers a great analogy using a ruler. Eleanor reads a question from TikTok, which Esmeregildo asked in response to our video about Josephson Junctions and the Nobel Prize in Physics: “What is the purpose of the insulating barrier?” Chuck's answer takes us down a quantum tunneling rabbit hole, filled with superconductors, insulators, and quantum computing. Diane asks: “Professor, you say that astronomers have used AI for a long time so you're not afraid of AI. But AI isn't being used by just scientists anymore, and corporations are using AI to make money now rather than to make scientific advances. So should we be afraid of AI today? Could AI turn evil soon and destroy humanity?” Allen, co-author of a soon-to-be published book about AI, offers a mostly hopeful answer, although Chuck compares AI to nuclear power and Leslie brings up real world problems AI is already creating. Our last question from our audience is, “Hi Dr. Liu, I heard you talking about grabby aliens recently. Could you explain the concept a little more? For example, would humans be grabby aliens if we explore space and colonize Mars and we find there's life there? Would we have to destroy grabby aliens right away if we find them, or would we have to hide from them?” It's the perfect way to end this edition of Chuck GPT!

Shanghai aims to become one of the world's top three cities by economic scale within this decade, driven by an ambitious annual GDP growth target that was outlined in the draft of the city's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30).根据上海市"十五五"规划纲要（2026-2030年）草案提出的宏伟年度经济增长目标，上海计划在本十年内，在经济规模上跻身全球前三甲城市之列。Already one of China's most dynamic economic hubs and the first city to surpass the GDP mark of 5 trillion yuan ($720 billion), Shanghai is targeting an average annual GDP growth rate of around 5 percent over the next five years. The goal is expected to significantly enhance the city's overall economic strength, global competitiveness and residents' livelihoods.作为中国最具活力的经济中心之一，也是首个地区生产总值突破5万亿元（7200亿美元）大关的城市，上海为未来五年设定了年均GDP增长约5%的目标。预计这一目标将显著增强城市的整体经济实力、全球竞争力及居民生活水平。The draft outline was unveiled at the annual session of the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress, the city's legislative body, which opened on Tuesday.该规划草案已于1月23日开幕的上海市第十六届人民代表大会第二次会议上提交审议。According to the plan, this targeted growth pace is expected to lift Shanghai's economic aggregate beyond 7 trillion yuan by 2030. At that scale, the city would rank among the world's top three by economic size, trailing only New York and Los Angeles.根据规划，这一目标增速预计将使上海的经济总量在2030年突破7万亿元。以此规模，上海将跃居全球经济规模前三，仅次于纽约和洛杉矶。After reaching the 5 trillion yuan milestone in 2024, Shanghai's GDP climbed further to 5.67 trillion yuan in 2025, placing the city among the world's top five urban economies. Meanwhile, per capita GDP rose to $32,000 in 2025, comparable to the level of a moderately developed economy.在2024年达到5万亿元里程碑后，上海GDP在2025年进一步攀升至5.67万亿元，使该市跻身全球城市经济总量前五。与此同时，2025年人均GDP上升至3.2万美元，相当于中等发达经济体水平。The draft makes it clear that the next phase of growth will focus on improving workforce skills and, more importantly, strengthening industrial development through scientific and technological innovation.草案明确指出，下一阶段的增长将聚焦于提升劳动力技能，更重要的是通过科技创新强化产业发展。"Shanghai will accelerate the intelligent transformation of key industries, establish more than 50 additional smart factories, and foster new artificial intelligence-native business formats," Mayor Gong Zheng said while delivering the Shanghai municipal government work report during the session.上海市市长龚正在作政府工作报告时表示："上海将加快重点产业智能化改造，新增50家以上先进智能工厂，积极培育智能原生新模式新业态。"Gong added that the city will also upgrade specialized industrial parks for sectors such as integrated circuits and large aircraft manufacturing, and will vigorously develop future industries including brain-computer interfaces and fourth-generation semiconductors.龚正补充道，上海还将升级集成电路、大飞机制造等领域的专业产业园区，并大力发展脑机接口、第四代半导体等未来产业。The shift toward future industries is already reflected in key indicators, experts said. In the past five years, the number of high-value invention patents per 10,000 residents in Shanghai rose from 29.6 to 65. The target for 2030 is about 85.专家表示，向未来产业的转变已反映在关键指标上。过去五年，上海每万人口高价值发明专利拥有量从29.6件增至65件。2030年的目标约为85件。Shanghai also plans to raise spending on research and development from about 4.5 percent of GDP in 2025 to more than 5 percent by 2030. In addition, the draft sets a goal for the value-added output of core digital economy industries to account for more than 20 percent of GDP by 2030.上海还计划将研发投入占GDP比重从2025年的约4.5%提升至2030年的5%以上。此外，草案设定的目标是，到2030年，核心数字经济产业增加值占GDP比重超过20%。The draft outline will be reviewed and discussed by lawmakers and political advisers during the annual meetings, which run through Saturday, and is expected to chart the course for the city's next phase of development.在持续至本周六的年度会议期间，人大代表和政协委员将审议和讨论该规划纲要草案，预计它将为上海下一阶段的发展规划路线。Many lawmakers and advisers said that Shanghai's economic structure is continuing to improve, with its three leading industries — AI, integrated circuits and biomedicine — posting rapid growth.许多人大代表和政协委员表示，上海的经济结构正在持续优化，其三大先导产业——人工智能、集成电路和生物医药——均呈现快速增长。Legislator Liu Zhi, vice-president of ShanghaiTech University, said the Shanghai high-repetition-rate XFEL (X-ray free-electron laser) and extreme light facility, known as SHINE, which has been built by the university, has entered the installation phase and is scheduled to begin testing this year.上海市人大代表、上海科技大学副校长刘志表示，由该校建设的上海硬X射线自由电子激光装置（简称SHINE）已进入安装阶段，计划于今年开始测试。"There are only two such facilities globally, the other being under construction in the United States," Liu said. "The facility will provide strategic support for tackling fundamental scientific challenges in frontier fields such as energy, biology, biomedicine and chip manufacturing. Strength in basic research means gaining greater initiative in setting standards and shaping future industrial development.""全球仅有两处此类设施，另一处正在美国建造，"刘志说，"该设施将为攻克能源、生物学、生物医药和芯片制造等前沿领域的基础科学难题提供战略支撑。基础研究的实力意味着在制定标准和塑造未来产业发展方面获得更大主动权。"Looking ahead to 2035, the draft envisions a comprehensive upgrade of Shanghai's role as an international center for economic, financial, trade, shipping, and scientific and technological innovation, with key indicators reaching globally leading levels.展望2035年，草案描绘了上海国际经济、金融、贸易、航运和科技创新中心功能的全面升级，关键指标达到全球领先水平。"Shanghai's overall capacity and core competitiveness are expected to rise significantly by 2035, with per capita GDP doubling from 2020 levels, establishing Shanghai as a world-influential socialist modern international metropolis," Gong said.龚正表示："到2035年，上海的整体实力和核心竞争力预计将显著提升，人均GDP较2020年水平翻一番，将上海建设成为具有世界影响力的社会主义现代化国际大都市。"economic hub /ˌiːkəˈnɒmɪk hʌb/经济枢纽/中心legislative body /ˈledʒɪslətɪv ˈbɒdi/立法机关economic aggregate /ˌiːkəˈnɒmɪk ˈæɡrɪɡət/经济总量future industries /ˈfjuːtʃər ˈɪndəstriz/未来产业brain-computer interfaces /breɪn kəmˈpjuːtər ˈɪntəfeɪsɪz/脑机接口high-value invention patents /haɪ ˈvæljuː ɪnˈvenʃən ˈpeɪtənts/高价值发明专利value-added output /ˈvæljuː ˈædɪd ˈaʊtpʊt/增加值产出socialist modern international metropolis /ˈsəʊʃəlɪst ˈmɒdən ˌɪntəˈnæʃənəl məˈtrɒpəlɪs/社会主义现代化国际大都市

Kom nou eens je bed uit. Werk nou eens aan dat ene project wat goed is voor je carrière. Doe dat ene klusje in huis nou een keer, waar je tegenaan zit te hikken. Of maak nou eens een keer schoon. Allemaal dingen die we liever niet willen, maar soms wel moeten. Hoe motiveer je je daarvoor? En is dat altijd nodig om uberhaubt iets voor elkaar te krijgen? In deze aflevering bespreken psychologen Lennard Toma en Thijs Launspach wat motivatie is, welke factoren eraan bijdragen, wat verschillende psychologische modellen en theorieën over motivatie zeggen. En welke motivatiemythes er zijn. Thijs is er gemotiveerd voor. Not!

The Campaign for Access, Representation, and Equity for Immigrant Families (CARE4IF) Coalition, rallied at the State Capitol on Tuesday, February 3, to demand $175 million in funding for immigration legal services and the passage of the Access to Representation Act (ARA) and the Building Up Immigrant Legal Defense (BUILD) Act for the 2026 New York State Legislative Session. We hear first from Jahrain Roldan of the NY Immigration Coalition, followed by Senator Liu, Assemblymember Yudelka Tapia, Senator Rachel May, Assemblymember Phara Souffrant-Forrest and Senator Robert Jackson. With Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

Construction worker Liu, seated inside train K4069, felt a rush of excitement as the platform clock at Beijing West Railway Station struck 12:40 am and the whistle blew on cue. He was on board the first passenger train to depart from the Chinese capital as part of the Spring Festival travel rush, or chunyun, which started on Monday.今天（2月2日）凌晨0点40分，北京西站站台上的时钟指针定格，汽笛准时鸣响。坐在K4069次列车上的建筑工人刘师傅，心潮随之澎湃。他乘坐的这趟列车，是今年春运首日从首都北京开出的首班旅客列车。2026年春运自本周一正式启动。"I've been busy all year, and now I can finally visit home," Liu said."Knowing that this is the first train to depart from Beijing during chunyun makes my journey more thrilling.""忙了一整年，终于能回家看看了，"刘师傅说，"知道这是北京春运发出的第一趟车，感觉这趟旅程更激动了。"The packed K4069, a temporary train service added for the holiday season to link Beijing with Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi province, mirrored the sheer scale of passenger movement by rail, road, air and sea on the first day of the 40-day travel rush, which will continue till March 13.这趟临时加开、连接北京与江西省会南昌的K4069次列车满载旅客。它的开行，如同一个缩影，映照出为期40天的春运在首日便已展现的庞大客流规模——春运将持续至3月13日，人们的出行通过铁路、公路、航空和水路全面展开。According to data collected by the Ministry of Transport, China recorded an estimated 188 million cross-regional trips on Monday, up 13 percent year-on-year. While the railways handled about 12 million trips, civil aviation authorities recorded roughly 2.19 million. The traffic was heavier on highways, as many Chinese people prefer to drive home or to holiday destinations to mark Chinese New Year, which falls on Feb 17 this year.交通运输部数据显示，春运首日全国跨区域人员流动量预计达1.88亿人次，比去年同期增长13%。其中铁路客运量约1200万人次，民航客运量约219万人次。公路交通更为繁忙，因为今年春节在2月17日，许多人选择自驾返乡或出游。The Spring Festival travel rush in China is the world's largest recurring movement of people. This year, the overall scale and the daily peaks are both expected to surpass previous records. Official estimates suggest that chunyun will generate a record 9.5 billion cross-regional trips, with rail journeys expected to total about 540 million and air travel about 95 million. As the public holiday period runs from Feb 15 to 23, the concentration of trips is likely to be higher during these days.中国的春运是全球规模最大的周期性人口迁徙。今年春运的整体规模和单日高峰均有望创下历史新高。官方预计，今年春运期间跨区域人员流动量将达创纪录的95亿人次，其中铁路客运量预计约5.4亿人次，民航客运量约9500万人次。由于春节假期从2月15日持续至23日，这段时间的出行将尤为集中。On Monday, the huge departure hall at Beijing West station saw a steady flow of passengers. Some paused for photo-ops near a Chinese zodiac installation to mark the upcoming Year of the Horse, while others toured an exhibition tracing the station's 30-year transformation.春运首日，北京西站庞大的候车大厅内旅客川流不息。有人驻足在生肖主题装饰旁拍照留念，迎接即将到来的马年；还有人参观记录车站30年变迁的展览。According to China Railway Beijing Group, the station is estimated to have handled about 145,000 passenger trips on the first day of chunyun, and it is expected to record more than 5.15 million trips over the entire 40-day period.据中国铁路北京局集团有限公司介绍，北京西站春运首日预计发送旅客14.5万人次，整个春运期间预计发送旅客将超过515万人次。The station has introduced a new air-rail intermodal service, allowing passengers to check in for selected China Eastern Airlines flights on the premises before transferring by train to Beijing Daxing International Airport.北京西站新推出了空铁联运服务，旅客可在站内办理选定的中国东方航空公司航班的登机手续，随后搭乘列车前往北京大兴国际机场换乘。At Daxing airport, lanterns and cultural displays lined corridors, while pop-up new year markets and themed boarding gates accentuated the holiday mood. Chinese airlines have scaled up capacities to match the travel rush demand. Air China said it plans to operate more than 70,000 passenger flights during chunyun, up more than 10 percent year-on-year, with a daily average of around 1,800 flights.在大兴机场，灯笼和文化展示装点着走廊，临时开设的新年集市和主题登机口烘托出浓浓的节日氛围。为应对春运需求，国内各航空公司加大了运力投放。中国国际航空公司表示，春运期间计划执行客运航班超7万班次，日均约1800班次，同比增长超10%。At some transportation hubs in eastern China, the first day of chunyun recorded high cultural vibes. Nanchang East Railway Station, for example, saw performers stage lively kuaiban — rapidly spoken verses punctuated by wooden clappers — alongside excerpts from Jiangxi's tea-picking opera. "I didn't expect waiting for a train to feel like this. It feels so warm and welcoming," said traveler Wang Yueyi.在华东地区的一些交通枢纽，春运首日文化气息浓厚。例如，南昌东站安排了表演者表演生动的快板（一种用竹板打节拍的曲艺说唱），和江西采茶戏选段。"没想到等车还能这样，感觉特别温暖、特别有氛围，"旅客王月怡（音译）说。Spring Festival travel rush /sprɪŋ ˈfestɪvəl ˈtrævəl rʌʃ/ 春运recurring movement of people /rɪˈkɜːrɪŋ ˈmuːvmənt əv ˈpiːpl/ 周期性人口流动photo-ops /ˈfoʊtoʊ ɑːps/ 拍照机会Chinese zodiac installation /ˌtʃaɪˈniːz ˈzoʊdiæk ˌɪnstəˈleɪʃn/ 生肖主题装饰air-rail intermodal service /er reɪl ˌɪntərˈmoʊdl ˈsɜːrvɪs/ 空铁联运服务pop-up /ˈpɑːp ʌp/ 临时开设的scaled up capacities /skeɪld ʌp kəˈpæsətiz/ 提升运力

We return for Part 2 of our Scott Galloway deep dive, where the vibes remain strong, the confidence unwavering, and the relationship with empirical evidence increasingly… decorative.Returning to our Modern Wisdom safari, we continue navigating the forbidden terrain of men, masculinity, and male suffering: a topic so dangerous that it requires constant ritual disclaimers, whispered caveats, and the occasional nervous glance around the bar to make sure we can take out the other men if necessary.We cover Scott's outline of his masculine Third Way: rejecting both the Right's “Bring Back the Fifties” masculinity and the Left's “Men Are the Problem” framework, in favour of a solution that might be described as Stern Dad Who's Also Nice About It. Prepare to thrill at proposals of mandatory national service, kindness as a masculine superpower, and the radical idea that young people might benefit from not being economically crushed.Things get spicier when we're told what women really want and learn about the adaptive skill check of the female orgasm. Chris Williamson unveils a prepared essay on What Men Want which proves to be a moving piece of therapeutic slam poetry that somehow manages to combine manosphere grievance mongering with woke therapy talk. We learn how what men really just want to be told is “you are enough" and should be kind for kindness sake, but also should optimise their friend group such that they can properly signal their high mate quality and train hard enough to take out all other males in the bar.Finally, we hit peak Decoding Mode as Scott's statistics begin to escalate: boys are ten times more likely to kill themselves, father absence turns sons into inmates, daughters into promiscuous approval-seekers, and nearly every claim is delivered with total confidence and minimal concern for effect sizes, confounds, or whether the study actually exists. Decorative scholarship is in full bloom.We do our best as two hyper-masculine men to separate reasonable concerns about boys, mentorship, and social policy from hyperbolic factoids, pop-psych inflation, and the familiar habit of smuggling moral arguments in under the banner of “what the science says.”Bring your hunting knife and stoic daily diary. Take your testosterone injection.

China's market regulator has opened a formal investigation into online travel platform Trip.com Group for suspected abuse of its dominant market position and monopolistic practices, according to an official notice released on Wednesday.根据周三发布的一份官方通告，中国市场监管部门已对在线旅游平台携程集团涉嫌滥用市场支配地位、实施垄断行为立案调查。The probe was launched by the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) following preliminary verification and in accordance with China's Anti-Monopoly Law, according to the notice posted on the SAMR's official website.国家市场监督管理总局在其官网发布的通告中表示，此次调查是在完成前期核查的基础上，依法依规、依据《中华人民共和国反垄断法》启动的。In an online statement, Trip.com said that it will actively cooperate with regulatory authorities in their investigation, fully implement regulatory requirements, and work hand-in-hand with all parties in the industry to build a sustainable market environment.携程在一份线上声明中表示，将积极配合监管部门调查，全面落实监管要求，并与行业各方携手共建可持续的市场环境。"Currently, all of the company's businesses are operating normally, and we will continue to provide high-quality services to our users and partners," it said.声明称：“目前公司各项业务均正常运行，将继续为用户和合作伙伴提供高质量服务。”After the investigation was announced, shares of Trip.com Group plunged 6.49 percent at the close of trading in Hong Kong on Wednesday.调查消息公布后，携程集团股价周三在香港收盘时大跌6.49%。As China's antitrust legal framework continues to improve, misconduct by platform companies that harms consumer rights or violates data protection is increasingly being addressed in accordance with the law, Liu Dingding, a veteran internet industry analyst, told the Global Times on Wednesday.随着中国反垄断法律体系不断完善，平台企业侵害消费者权益或违反数据保护规定的行为正日益依法得到规制。资深互联网行业分析人士刘丁丁周三在接受报纸采访时表示。"The probe also sends a clear signal to the industry, encouraging companies to rectify problems that emerged during rapid growth and to pursue more standardized and sustainable development," Liu said, adding that by promoting a healthier and more balanced market ecosystem, the measures aim to curb disorderly expansion and create more space for small and medium-sized enterprises and other market players.刘丁丁表示，此次调查也向行业释放出明确信号，督促企业纠正快速发展过程中暴露出的问题，推动更加规范、可持续的发展。他补充称，通过构建更加健康、均衡的市场生态，这些举措旨在遏制无序扩张，为中小企业等市场主体创造更大发展空间。On December 8 last year, a homestay association in Southwest China's Yunnan Province publicly announced that it was soliciting evidence for potential antitrust action against Trip.com, targeting what it described as years of unfair competition by the platform.去年12月8日，西南地区云南省一家民宿行业协会公开宣布，正在征集证据，拟针对携程多年来被指存在的不正当竞争行为提起反垄断维权行动。The association also announced a decision on launching rights-protection efforts against improper competition by online travel agencies (OTAs), according to a statement on its official WeChat account.该协会在其官方微信公众号发布的声明中还宣布，将对在线旅游平台存在的不正当竞争行为启动维权行动。In the statement, the association said that it had received a large number of complaints from member businesses in recent years, accusing Trip.com and other OTA platforms of abusing their market dominance through practices such as forcing merchants to choose one platform over others, unilaterally raising commission rates, imposing unfair trading conditions, and restricting traffic exposure.声明称，近年来协会收到大量会员企业投诉，指控携程及其他在线旅游平台通过强制“二选一”、单方面提高佣金比例、附加不公平交易条件、限制流量曝光等方式，滥用市场支配地位。It said that these practices had seriously harmed operators' legitimate rights and disrupted fair market competition.声明指出，这些行为严重侵害了经营者的合法权益，扰乱了公平有序的市场竞争秩序。The SAMR's investigation forms part of China's broader push to normalize antitrust enforcement in the platform economy after years of scrutiny over the competitive conduct of major internet platforms.此次调查是中国在多年强化监管基础上，推动平台经济领域反垄断执法常态化的重要组成部分。On November 15, 2025, the market regulator released a draft set of antitrust compliance guidelines for internet platforms for public consultation, and it said in December that it was moving faster to finalize and roll out the rules.2025年11月15日，市场监管部门发布了《互联网平台反垄断合规指引（征求意见稿）》，并于同年12月表示将加快规则定稿和出台进程。SAMR spokesperson Wang Qiuping said that the move aims to effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and small and medium-sized businesses, guide platform companies toward compliant operations, and provide institutional support for building a healthy and orderly platform ecosystem.市场监管总局新闻发言人王秋苹表示，该举措旨在切实保护消费者和中小企业合法权益，引导平台企业合规经营，为构建健康有序的平台生态提供制度保障。The draft guidelines refer to eight emerging monopoly risks, including cases where some platforms force merchants to keep prices no higher than on rivals - so-called "lowest-price-across-the-internet" rules. An SAMR official told a press briefing that such practices may amount to abuse of market dominance or monopoly deals.该征求意见稿列举了八类新型垄断风险，其中包括部分平台要求商家价格不得高于竞争对手的所谓“全网最低价”规则。市场监管总局一名官员在新闻发布会上表示，此类行为可能构成滥用市场支配地位或垄断协议。According to information on its official website, Trip.com is a one-stop travel service platform operating brands including Ctrip, Trip.com, Qunar and Skyscanner, offering a full range of travel products, services and differentiated content to users worldwide. The company was listed on the Nasdaq in 2003 and completed a secondary listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2021.根据携程官网信息，该公司是一站式旅游服务平台，旗下运营携程、Trip.com、去哪儿、Skyscanner等品牌，为全球用户提供全品类旅游产品、服务及差异化内容。携程于2003年在纳斯达克上市，并于2021年完成香港联交所二次上市。According to industry estimates, Trip.com accounted for 56 percent of gross merchandise value in China's hotel and travel market in 2024, while Tongcheng ranked second with a 15 percent share. Together, the two platforms are estimated to control more than 70 percent of China's domestic OTA market, the Beijing Daily reported in July 2025.据行业估算，2024年携程在中国酒店及旅游市场的交易总额占比达56%，同程以15%的份额位居第二。北京日报2025年7月报道称，两大平台合计控制了中国国内OTA市场超过70%的份额。Anti-Monopoly Law /ˌænti məˈnɒpəli lɔː/反垄断法platform economy /ˈplætfɔːrm ɪˈkɒnəmi/平台经济online travel agency (OTA) /ˈɒnlaɪn ˈtrævəl ˈeɪdʒənsi/在线旅游平台commission rate /kəˈmɪʃn reɪt/佣金比例antitrust compliance guidelines /ˌæntiˈtrʌst kəmˈplaɪəns ˈɡaɪdlaɪnz/反垄断合规指引

In the very adult comic drama "Is This Thing On?" Will Arnett plays a man who tries out standup comedy as a way to cope with his impending divorce. Strong performances by Arnett and Laura Dern propel this empathetic tale, well directed by Bradley Cooper, who also has a funny supporting role. A number of noted comics appear as cynical versions of themselves. While fictional, the movie inspired by the true story of British standup comic Jim Bishop. Arnett's foul-mouthed comedy material isn't really all that funny but still rings true. "Is This Thing On?" should appeal to those not easily offended. What's really being said when estranged family members engage in awkward 'small talk?' Indie film darling Jim Jarmusch offers a suggestion in "Father Mother Sister Brother," three unrelated stories of family dysfunction. The strong cast includes Adam Driver, Tom Waits, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling and Cate Blanchett. Surprisingly, this restrained and subtle drama was the big winner at the 2005 Venice Film Festival. The talented cast helps a lot, but “Father Mother Sister Brother” is one that will probably only appeal to fans of Jarmusch's slow, low-key style. Lucy Liu's impressive performance is the main draw of the excruciating true story "Rosemead" which is based on a 2017 article from the Los Angeles Times. Liu plays a widow suffering from terminal cancer who is forced to decide what to do with her teenage son who's struggling with schizophrenia. The intent is admirable, and the execution is competent enough. But “Rosemead” is a hard watch that offers no easy answers. It's tragic and depressing in equal measure.

Chinese mainland authorities named two senior officials from Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party as die-hard "Taiwan independence" separatists on Wednesday and labeled a Taiwan prosecutor as an accomplice, saying that they will face lifelong legal accountability.Chen Binhua, a spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said at a news conference that Liu Shih-fang, head of Taiwan's so-called "interior affairs department", and Cheng Ying-yao, head of the island's "education department", were added to a mainland list of people accused of pushing "Taiwan independence".Chen accused Liu and Cheng of promoting separatist ideas that go against mainstream public opinion. He said that authorities had received reports from compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait calling for the two officials to be punished.The spokesman said that Liu has blatantly propagated "Taiwan independence" rhetoric and has restricted people in Taiwan who support or take part in exchanges with the mainland, including mainland-born spouses living on the island.Chen said that Cheng, who oversees the island's education policy, has brazenly peddled provocative rhetoric advocating "Taiwan independence" and has organized the compilation of "Taiwan independence" teaching materials, which he said have had a negative impact on young people in Taiwan.The spokesman criticized both officials for persistent and extreme actions aimed at dividing the country, stirring confrontation, disrupting cross-Strait exchanges and harming the interests of people on both sides.Under mainland laws, sanctions have been imposed on Liu and Cheng. They and their family members are barred from entering the mainland, as well as the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions. Organizations affiliated with them are also banned from doing business on the mainland or cooperating with mainland entities.The spokesman also announced that Chen Shu-yi, a prosecutor at Taiwan's so-called "high prosecutors office", had been listed as an accomplice to "Taiwan independence" activities, and she would be held legally responsible for life.He accused the prosecutor of fabricating cases, making false accusations and targeting people in Taiwan who support cross-Strait exchanges. He said such actions were intended to intimidate the public and create a "climate of fear".The spokesman also encouraged people from both the mainland and Taiwan to provide information and evidence related to the alleged illegal activities of those named.So far, the mainland has identified 14 individuals as die-hard "Taiwan independence" separatists, including Hsiao Bi-khim, Taiwan's deputy leader, and Koo Li-hsiung, head of the island's "defense department". It has also listed 12 people as accomplices of "Taiwan independence" secessionists."Any 'Taiwan independence' separatist who breaks the law, no matter where they are, will face all necessary measures and will be held accountable for life," the spokesman said.He also responded to a recent proposal by DPP lawmakers to amend Taiwan's law governing relations with the mainland. He said the "red line" must not be crossed, and he accused the DPP authorities of escalating tensions across the Taiwan Strait.The proposal, which reportedly has been withdrawn, sought to redefine cross-Strait relations as relations between "Taiwan and the People's Republic of China" and to remove the words "before national reunification" from the Taiwan law.Citing China's Anti-Secession Law, the spokesman said the mainland would not tolerate what it calls "de jure independence", warning that those who challenge the law will face serious consequences.

China will bar online platforms from using big data to engage in discriminatory pricing against consumers, as market regulators move to regulate the platform economy under new regulations released on Wednesday.中国市场监管部门于周三发布新规，着手规范平台经济发展，明确禁止网络平台利用大数据对消费者实施价格歧视。The State Administration for Market Regulation and the Cyberspace Administration of China released new measures on the supervision of online trading platforms. The latest rules aim to standardize the formulation, amendment and implementation of platform rules, safeguard online trading market order, and better protect the legitimate rights of merchants and consumers.国家市场监督管理总局与国家互联网信息办公室联合出台网络交易平台监督管理新规，旨在规范平台规则的制定、修订与执行流程，维护网络交易市场秩序，更好地保护平台内商家与消费者的合法权益。The measures target what regulators describe as a "critical minority" — online platform operators — and seek to further clarify and strengthen their responsibilities.此次出台的办法聚焦监管部门所称的 “关键少数”，即网络平台运营者，进一步厘清并压实了其主体责任。Under such measures, platforms are forbidden from utilizing so-called "big data kill-the-familiar" practices. It is a form of algorithm-driven price discrimination in which frequent or repeat users are charged higher prices than new customers.办法明确禁止平台采用所谓的 “大数据杀熟” 行为。这种行为是算法驱动的价格歧视，具体表现为平台向高频、复购用户收取高于新用户的费用。Liu Jian, deputy head of the SAMR's first antitrust enforcement department, said at an earlier news conference that China's platform economy has distinct business models and involves complex, multisided interests, making it difficult to draw clear behavioral boundaries.国家市场监督管理总局反垄断执法一司副司长刘健在早前的新闻发布会上表示，中国平台经济商业模式特色鲜明，涉及多方复杂利益关系，相关行为边界的界定存在一定难度。"Promoting algorithms for the public good is an important compliance objective," Liu said.刘健指出：“推动算法向善，是平台合规经营的重要目标。”The measures also spell out more detailed requirements on data, information and network security, as well as on the protection of the lawful rights of merchants operating on platforms and of consumers.办法还针对数据安全、信息安全、网络安全，以及平台内商家和消费者合法权益的保护，作出了更为细化的要求。In addition, platforms should follow stricter procedures when formulating or revising rules, including public disclosure, open consultations, reasonable transition periods and clearly defined appeal channels.此外，平台在制定或修订规则时，需遵循更严格的程序，包括规则公示、公开征求意见、设置合理过渡期以及明确异议申诉渠道等。They are also required to establish consultation mechanisms for major rule changes and systems to resolve disputes arising from transactions conducted on their platforms.同时，平台还需建立重大规则调整的协商机制，以及平台内交易纠纷的解决机制。The latest measures further set out detailed obligations on data, information and network security, as well as on the protection of the lawful rights of merchants and consumers.新规进一步细化了平台在数据安全、信息安全、网络安全方面的具体义务，同时强化了对平台内商家和消费者合法权益的保护要求。Platforms must include clear data and information security provisions in their rules, define standards on how merchants handle personal data, and specify obligations related to online protections.平台必须在其规则中纳入明确的数据和信息安全条款，明确平台内商家处理个人信息的标准，并细化网络安全保护相关义务。Crucially, the rules prohibit platforms from using internal regulations to impose unreasonable restrictions on merchants' independent operations, levy unjustified fees, or demand excessive penalties or compensation.尤为关键的是，新规禁止平台通过内部规则，对平台内商家的自主经营设置不合理限制、收取不合理费用，或是要求商家支付高额违约金、赔偿金。They also bar platforms from weakening or excluding consumer rights, shifting or waiving their own responsibilities, or unfairly increasing consumers' obligations.新规同时明令禁止平台弱化或排除消费者权利、转移或免除自身责任，以及不合理加重消费者义务的行为。Wang Xianlin, a member of the expert advisory group on the Anti-Monopoly Commission of the State Council — the nation's Cabinet — said, "Such efforts are expected to bring greater transparency and structure to the way online platforms operate, and will rebalance interests and rebuild a healthy platform ecosystem."国务院反垄断委员会专家咨询组成员王先林表示：“这些举措有望提升网络平台运营的透明度和规范性，进一步平衡各方利益，助力构建健康有序的平台生态体系。”discriminatory /dɪˈskrɪmɪnətəri/adj. 歧视性的；区别对待的formulation /ˌfɔːmjʊˈleɪʃn/n. 制定；构想；配方antitrust /ˌæntiˈtrʌst/adj. 反垄断的；反托拉斯的transparency /trænsˈpærənsi/n. 透明度；透明性

To wrap up this year's author podcast series, The American Journal of Managed Care® speaks with Angela Liu, PhD, MPH, assistant research professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, about her December 2025 study, "Mental Health Care Use After Leaving Medicare Advantage for Traditional Medicare." Her research analyzed Medicare beneficiaries with mental health diagnoses who switched from Medicare Advantage (MA) to traditional Medicare (TM), examining their use of mental health services in the year before and after the switch. In this Managed Care Cast episode, Liu discusses what inspired her research, highlights the key findings, and explores ways to improve equitable access to mental health services for Medicare beneficiaries.

Avant le Covid-19 et la guerre à Gaza, Bethléem accueillait deux millions de pèlerins chaque année. C'est la ville où la tradition chrétienne situe la naissance de Jésus-Christ. Pour la première fois depuis le 7-Octobre, la municipalité a prévu un timide retour à la normale pour les festivités de Noël. Au programme, il y a la messe de minuit et le marché de Noël dans ce territoire occupé par Israël. Le cessez-le-feu à Gaza redonne un peu d'espoir aux habitants qui attendent que les touristes reviennent. De notre envoyée spéciale à Bethléem, La fanfare des scouts palestiniens accompagne l'illumination du sapin géant sur la Place de la Mangeoire, devant la Basilique de la nativité. La saison de Noël est lancée à Bethléem, où les dernières années ont été difficiles. La pandémie du Covid-19, les massacres du 7-Octobre et la guerre à Gaza ont coupé net l'afflux des touristes. On observe désormais un timide retour. « On m'a dit que cet évènement n'avait pas pu avoir lieu ces deux dernières années à cause de la guerre. Personne ne pouvait venir ici. C'est émouvant, la guerre n'est pas terminée, mais on ressent un peu d'espoir en étant ici », affirme Liu, une touriste chinoise de passage. Pour atteindre Bethléem en Cisjordanie occupée, Jawal, Palestinien de Jérusalem, a dû patienter aux points de contrôle avec sa famille. Sa femme est chrétienne et il tenait absolument à être présent. « C'est tellement important de revenir à une vie normale après deux années de guerre. Cela envoie le message que les choses vont aller mieux, ça nous rend optimistes », confie-t-il. « Bethléem, c'est une ville de tourisme » Ces deux dernières années, la municipalité de Bethléem avait annulé les festivités par solidarité avec les Palestiniens de Gaza. Mais aujourd'hui, le marché de Noël est de retour dans une ville où 80 % de la population se déclare de confession musulmane. Comme Sahida, tout sourire : « Bethléem était comme endormie depuis deux ans avec la guerre à Gaza et là, c'est très important. On aime Bethléem, nous sommes Palestiniens et c'est la ville de nos racines. C'est une ville importante pour les trois religions : les musulmans, les chrétiens et les juifs. Bethléem, c'est une ville de tourisme, mais c'est important pour les gens, pas seulement pour l'économie ». Pourtant, le taux de chômage a explosé jusqu'à 60 % de la population. Avant, Hazim travaillait dans une agence de voyage qui a fermé. Désormais, le jeune homme aide un peu dans l'épicerie de son grand-père, près de la vieille ville. Il est très ému de témoigner : « Regardez-moi bien. Je suis jeune et j'ai l'air d'avoir 50 ans. Je suis vraiment fatigué de cette situation. Il faut que j'en parle sinon je vais exploser. Nous n'avons pas la possibilité de vivre notre vie normalement. Nous souffrons beaucoup, la situation est mauvaise, c'est pourquoi nous espérons que les touristes vont revenir. » Hazim ravale ses larmes. Ce chrétien orthodoxe célèbrera Noël début janvier.

In this episode of the Project Narrative Podcast, Jim Phelan and Rhona Trauvitch discuss “The Bookmaking Habits of Select Species” by Ken Liu, first published in the August 2012 issue of the online journal Lightspeed, and then included in Liu’s 2016 collection entitled The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories. Rhona Trauvitch, Associate Teaching Professor at Florida International University, specializes in cross-disciplinary analogical reasoning, particularly at the intersection of literature and STEM. Trauvitch directs Florida International University’s Science and Fiction Lab, whose mission is to build bridges between research and teaching in STEM fields and in the humanities. Her work in the lab has been supported by Humanities Initiatives Award from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and most recently by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Trauvitch’s own research and teaching have been devoted to exploring how fictionality can be used to enhance non-scientists’ comprehension of science, including especially difficult to comprehend concepts in science. Trauvitch is the author of a forthcoming book, Fi-Sci: Avatars of Science and Fiction, which demonstrates her model in action. Trauvitch has also co-edited a forthcoming special issue of Style on the interrelations of fiction and science.

The child of Chinese immigrants, Liu grew up in Queens where she spoke Mandarin at home and didn't learn English until she was 5. She returns to the language in her new film, ‘Rosemead.' It's about a terminally ill mother grappling with her teenage son's escalating mental health crisis and the impossible choices she faces to help him. Liu spoke with Tonya Mosley about rejection, representation, and the first time she heard her name in OutKast's hit “Hey Ya.” Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Whoever said quitters never win never met Olympic figure skater Alysa Liu. Liu quit figure skating after the 2022 Winter Olympics. At age 16, she was burned out and wanted to be a normal teenager.  "I was done a year before I quit. I knew I wanted to be done way before I actually announced my retirement," Liu said. For two years, Liu embraced life as a teenager, making up for lost time she'd spent on the ice. She got a driver's license, drove her four siblings to school, stayed up late and hung out with friends. She traveled for fun instead of competitions and even hiked in the Himalayas. She enrolled at UCLA and even took up skiing, a sport she'd never had time to try as an elite figure skater. She loved the feel of the cold air on her face when she was skiing. It reminded her of skating and two years after retiring, Alysa went to a local rink with a friend. Alysa started skating for fun, and it wasn't long before she got the itch to skate more seriously. She called a former coach, Phillip DiGuglielmo, and asked him what he thought about her coming out of retirement. At first, he wasn't a fan. "I said, 'Please don't. I really did.'  I said, 'Please don't. Respect your legacy,'" DiGuglielmo said. "We had a Zoom call for two hours. The story is I had a lot of glasses of wine over those two hours. And she talked me into a comeback." The two started training together, and seven months later, Liu won a world title in a sport she left as a child but returned to as an adult.

I often put my family members in these scenarios...What would they do? What would I do if I was on the other side?...How can we make a complicated health care system work for everyone?" -- Mark Liu, MHA "We can have all the innovations in the world, but if the people who need them most can't access them, what's the point?

Send us a textIn this solo episode, Kara explores the fascinating research behind how daily reading may support a longer, healthier life. She breaks down the landmark Yale study showing that people who read books for just 30 minutes a day lived an average of 23 months longer than non-readers, examines why book-length reading provides unique cognitive benefits, and discusses what current science says about print books versus audiobooks.Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of how reading strengthens the brain, builds cognitive reserve, and may contribute to healthy aging - plus practical ideas for fitting more reading into everyday life.Episode Highlights:• Reading books for just 30 minutes a day was linked to 23 extra months of life, on average.• Frequent reading is associated with reduced cognitive decline across multiple long-term studies.• Print or visual reading tends to support stronger comprehension and memory - key components of brain reserve.• Audiobooks activate many of the same language and emotional brain networks, though the depth of processing may differ.• Regardless of format, regular engagement with stories supports cognitive health.Resources Mentioned:Episode 116: Do Audiobooks Count as Reading?Bavishi, Slade & Levy (2016).
