On this episode of Below the Radar B-Sides, our host Am Johal is joined by Ming Wong, Singapore-born and Berlin-based contemporary artist. Together, they chat about Ming's artistic practice, his research into Cantonese Opera cinema, approach to pedagogy, and the advantages of being at the fringe looking in. You can see Ming's installation “Vast Oceans, Endless Skies / 海闊天空” in the Chinese Canadian Museum's exhibition Dream Factory: Cantopop Mandopop 1980s-2000, on until May 31, 2026.

His interdisciplinary practice incorporating performance, video and installation unravels ideas of ‘authenticity' and the ‘other' with reference to the act of human performativity. In recent years, he has had strong theatrical interests in the intersection of sci-fi and traditional Chinese culture, particularly Cantonese opera. Wong uses this speculative association to tackle issues such as Chinese modernity, the role of popular culture in building national identities. His works often assemble languages and personalities to create their own “World Cinema”.

Classée au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO depuis 1987, la Cité Interdite a longtemps été le centre névralgique de la politique en Chine. Construite entre 1406 et 1420 sous l'ordre de l'empereur Cheng Zu, elle a nécessité la participation d'un million d'ouvriers et d'artisans. Quel que soit le rôle que cette cité a eu à travers les siècles, elle est toujours restée un symbole de la puissance de la Chine. Aujourd'hui encore, elle fascine des millions de touristes, mais également les autochtones, qui la visitent en nombre chaque année. Située à Pékin, la cité interdite a été la résidence de nombreux empereurs chinois des dynasties Qing et Ming durant un peu plus de 500 ans. Cet immense palais, qui s'étend sur 72 hectares, fait partie des monuments les plus anciens et les mieux conservés de Chine. Mais à quoi sert cette cité interdite ? Mais alors, d'où la cité interdite tire-t-elle son nom ? Quel est le rôle de la cité interdite aujourd'hui ? Écoutez la suite dans cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez - Culture".

Any Day because regular, meaningful conversations can - and do - change lives New research has revealed a confidence gap when it comes to having meaningful R U OK? conversations. Three in four Australians believe it’s important to regularly ask someone if they’re OK, a third might hesitate – even when they sense someone might be struggling. This hesitation often stems from concerns they might say the wrong thing, invade someone’s privacy, or not know how to help. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For thousands of years, Emperors of China had harems of dozens or even hundreds of wives. Emperors had the right to select concubines from among the teenage daughters of the nobility or the peasantry. During the Ming dynasty 5,000 beautiful woman were brought from around the country and lined up in front of the palace. They were narrowed down to just a handful who were admitted into the palace and had a chance of spending a night with the emperor. Inside the forbidden city, imperial wives had an intricate system of hierarchy. At the top was the Empress. She was usually chosen for her nobility and political connections. When the emperor died, she could claim the title Empress Dowager, and continue her influence through her son. Below her were consorts, then concubines and maids. The emperor alone had access to all of them, and they were closely guarded by eunuchs. If the Emperor favored a particular concubine for her beauty, brains, or for baring him a son, he had the right to promote her, even to the rank of Empress. Today lets met 7 imperial concubines who, through allure, sex appeal, child-birth, and or ruthlessness, managed to climb their way to power in Imperial China.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened 71-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 24,033 on turnover of $7.2-billion N-T. Taiwan and US sign MOU on combating cross-border drug trafficking Taiwan and the United States have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly combat transnational drug trafficking. According to the American Institute in Taiwan, the agreement will enhance intelligence sharing between the U-S Drug Enforcement Administration and the Taiwan High Prosecutors Office .. ….. by "enabling more efficient investigations and prosecutions of transnational drug trafficking organizations." A-I-T has issues a press release quoting D-E-A Asia Pacific Division Special Agent in charge John Scott as saying that the annual forum represents the "shared commitment of Taiwan and the United States to combat the scourge (禍害) of drug trafficking." NPM to show 'meat-shaped stone' in first exhibition in Yilan The National Palace Museum has announced that its iconic "meat-shaped stone" and 14 other artifacts will be going on disply in Yilan for the first time. The artifacts will be part of a special exhibition co-organized with the Lanyang Museum in December. Along with its famed "meat-shaped stone," the National Palace Museum also selected a jade duck piece dating back to the Song and Yuan dynasties, a porcelain chicken cup in doucai painted enamels from the Ming dynasty … … and a revolving vase with swimming fish in cobalt blue glaze (釉) from the Qing dynasty as some of the artifacts that will be featured in the Yilan exhibition. Moscow says foreign troops in Ukraine would be ‘unacceptable' Russia called "absolutely unacceptable" the idea of deploying foreign forces in Ukraine discussed by Europe and Kiev as part of security guarantees for Ukraine. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused the so-called "coalition of the willing" countries of attempts to undermine US President Donald Trump's peacemaking efforts. And reiterated (重申) any discussions of European security, Ukraine included, must involve Russia. Daria Bondarchuk reports from Moscow. Uganda Announces US Deal to Take Deported Migrants Uganda's foreign ministry says the African country has agreed to a deal with the United States to take deported migrants as long as they don't have criminal records and are not unaccompanied minors. The ministry said in a statement Thursday that the agreement had been concluded but that terms were still being worked out. It added that Uganda prefers that the migrants sent there be of African nationalities (國籍), but did not elaborate on what Uganda might get in return for accepting deportees. The U.S. embassy in Uganda declined to comment on what it called “diplomatic negotiations." Human rights activists criticized the deal as possibly going against international law. New Evidence of Earlier Modern Humans and Neanderthals Interaction And new findings suggest that modern humans and Neanderthals may have interacted 100-thousand years earlier than previously thought. That's according to researchers who used CT scans and 3D mapping to study the bones of a child they believe was the result of interbreeding between the two distinct groups. The child was buried in a cave in Israel some 140-thousand years ago. Because no ancient DNA was extracted from the fossilized (變成化石的) remains, it's impossible to confirm the child's origins, but scientists say microscopic details in the bones indicate the child had traits of both groups. The findings, recently published in a peer-reviewed journal, help shed light on when the two groups began interacting and offers clues about their relationships. That was the I.C.R.T.

In this once again shorter episode, the crew might have a nice chunk of news, but they get through it pretty quickly. Highlights are that Fate/ Hollow Ataraxia Remastered gets a release, and Yukes buying Aquaplus. Afterword, Break reviews the first John Wick film, and Frank reviews Diablo IV. Stinkos abound as we commiserate the decline of democracy once again, but at least we can take some solace that MAGA is turning on Trump because of weed. And that more or less makes up the episode.

Through real-world examples, he contrasts two dermatologists—one struggling with low-cost deals and outdated facilities, the other thriving with premium pricing and a six-month waitlist—highlighting how branding shapes perception and profitability. Dr. Ming explains how to position yourself as a specialist for a specific audience, maintain a consistent online and offline presence, build trust with compelling proof like patient testimonials and media features, and deliver a premium experience that justifies higher rates. He also warns against common pitfalls like appealing to everyone, inconsistent messaging, and competing on price alone. This episode is a must-listen for physicians aiming to attract better patients, increase revenue, and enjoy a fulfilling practice.   Three Actionable Takeaways: Define Your Positioning – Use the formula "I help [specific audience] achieve [specific result] without [specific pain point]." For example, "I help women over 35 regain energy through hormone therapy without endless doctor visits." Write your positioning statement using this framework to clarify your niche and attract ideal patients. Ensure Consistent Presence – Audit your website, Google My Business, LinkedIn, and social media for inconsistencies in photos, messaging, or visuals. Fix the three biggest discrepancies this week to create a cohesive brand that builds recognition and trust. Build Trust with Proof – Reach out to three recent patients with measurable outcomes and request testimonials or video reviews. Write a three-sentence personal story using the Challenge-Journey-Mission framework to share why you became a physician, fostering an emotional connection with patients.   About the Show: Bootstrap MD is the ultimate podcast for physician entrepreneurs looking to escape traditional healthcare and control their financial futures.

Ming urges.Zh: 于是廉立刻跑向岳常常出现的地方，找到了她。En: So, Lian immediately runs to the place where Yue often appears and finds her.Zh: 他深吸一口气，小心地把项链递给她。En: He takes a deep breath and carefully offers her the necklace.Zh: “这是送给你的，七夕快乐。”廉说道，声音虽轻却充满诚意。En: "This is for you, happy Qixi." Lian says, his voice light yet filled with sincerity.Zh: 岳愣了一下，随即脸上露出幸福的微笑。En: Yue is momentarily stunned, then a happy smile appears on her face.Zh: “谢谢你，廉。这真漂亮。”岳看着他，眼神里充满了温暖和爱意。En: "Thank you, Lian. It's really beautiful." Yue looks at him, her gaze full of warmth and affection.Zh: 廉终于鼓起勇气，坦然说道：“我一直以来都很喜欢你。”En: Lian finally musters the courage to candidly say, "I've always liked you."Zh: 岳点了点头，“我也是。”En: Yue nods, "I do too."Zh: 廉的心跳加速，他明白了一个道理：有些事情，只有尝试过才知道结果。En: Lian's heart races, and he realizes a truth: some things only reveal their outcome once you've tried.Zh: 在那个星光闪烁的夜晚，他第一次感受到心中的勇气。En: On that starry night, he feels courage within his heart for the first time.Zh: 这次夜市之行不仅让廉找回了项链，更重要的是，他找到了属于自己的爱情。En: This trip to the night market not only allowed Lian to find the necklace but, more importantly, he found a love of his own.

Welcome back to another episode of Fratello On Air. This week, we answer a listener's question about the watches new collectors should consider when entering the hobby. It's a question that has been asked many times, but, frankly, it's been a while since we've tackled it. For our listeners, the watch talk begins after 23 minutes.Years ago, when we were new collectors, the Seiko SKX007 was the natural response when someone asked about the best first watch. It was affordable, tough, and had enough chops to be taken somewhat seriously. However, that watch is long gone, which leaves an opportunity for a new answer. Well, as it turns out, there are plenty of answers.HandgelenkskontrolleBefore providing thoughts for new collectors, we discuss some recent TV shows. The White Lotus, MobLand, Gangs of London, and The Agency are some of the series we've been watching. Balazs is wearing his newest acquisition, the Ming 22.01 GMT Kyoto. Mike has dusted off a vintage Seiko 6215-7000 diver. Both pieces are working well in the summer heat!Watches for new collectorsA great deal has changed in the watch hobby over the past decade. Microbrands were still relatively new, and the selection was limited. Now, there are scores of brands offering fantastic pieces at affordable prices. Names like Baltic, Lorier, Christopher Ward, and others have great watches with respectable movements. Plus, some of these companies have existed for long enough that they've become globally recognizable. The traditional brands are also offering some fantastic options. The Seiko 5 GMT, the Swatch Group with its bevy of brands, and even Timex have created some fantastic timepieces for new collectors. When it comes to used watches at the top end of our fictional €2,500 price cap, it's hard to overlook the Tudor Black Bay 58.We hope you enjoy today's episode. Feel free to let us know about the first watch you bought when you began collecting. As always, if you have ideas for new shows, please contact us.

The role of neuronal influences on cancer pathogenesis and progression is increasingly appreciated in the nervous system. Neurons have been shown to enhance the proliferation and migration of gliomas, a glial-derived tumor of the CNS, via diffusible paracrine factors or synaptic inputs onto tumor cells. In glioblastomas, a highly aggressive glioma, mostly glutamatergic inputs have been identified. While the potential for glioblastomas to receive projections from neurons of other neurotransmitter subtypes, such as from cholinergic neurons, has recently been discovered in xenotransplantation models, whether synapses can form between human cholinergic neurons and glioblastoma cells and consequences of these inputs and other non-synaptic mechanisms are still unknown.   Human induced pluripotent stem cell-based models have been emerging as a powerful platform for studying human-specific disease mechanisms. Today's guests developed a co-culture model for the study of neuron-tumor interactions by combining patient derived glioblastoma organoids and hiPSC-derived cholinergic neurons. They will discuss their recent findings and what it means for understanding and potentially treating a tumor for which there is no known cure. GuestsGuo-li Ming, MD, PhD, Department of Neuroscience and Mahoney Institute for Neurosciences, Perelman School of Medicine, University of PennsylvaniaHongjun Song, PhD, Department of Neuroscience and Mahoney Institute for Neurosciences, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Yusha Sun, Neuroscience Graduate Group, Perelman School of Medicine, University of PennsylvaniaHostJanet Rossant, Editor-in-Chief, Stem Cell Reports and The Gairdner FoundationSupporting ContentPaper link:  Cholinergic neuron-to-glioblastoma synapses in a human iPSC-derived co-culture model, Stem Cell ReportsAbout Stem Cell ReportsStem Cell Reports is the open access, peer-reviewed journal of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) for communicating basic discoveries in stem cell research, in addition to translational and clinical studies.

Lili asked hesitantly, looking at the surrounding crowd with concern.Zh: "当然可以！今天风大，是放风筝的好天气。"明自信地说。En: "Of course we can! It's windy today, perfect weather for kite flying," Ming replied confidently.Zh: 而杰则在一旁笑着插嘴："别担心，丽丽，如果风筝飞走了，我们至少有杰哥帮忙捡帽子！"En: Jie chuckled and chimed in, "Don't worry, Lili, if the kite flies away, at least brother Jie is here to help retrieve the hats!"Zh: 三人找了个稍微空旷的地方，试着让风筝在空中翩翩起舞。En: The three found a slightly open space and tried to let the kite gracefully dance in the sky.Zh: 然而，风筝刚升起，就因为墙上的强风而晃动得厉害。En: However, as soon as the kite rose, it wobbled fiercely due to the strong winds on the wall.Zh: "糟糕！它缠住了女士的帽子！"丽丽喊道。En: "Oh no! It's tangled with a lady's hat!" Lili exclaimed.Zh: 更糟糕的是，每次风筝绳一拂而过，总有一个游客因帽子被带走而惊慌失措。En: Even worse, each time the kite's string brushed by, it caused panic as it took away a tourist's hat.Zh: 明开始感到心急，他决心要让风筝不在地面惹麻烦。En: Ming began to feel anxious and was determined to keep the kite from causing trouble on the ground.Zh: "我们去那边！人少一点！"他指了指墙的另一边。En: "Let's go over there!

In this powerful episode of the Faith Driven Entrepreneur podcast, hosts Justin Forman and Kevin Kim sit down with Chi-Ming and Juliette Chien to explore their radical decision to relocate their successful tech company from San Francisco's financial district to Bayview - a neighborhood where 25-30% of children live below the federal poverty line.Chi-Ming shares how Dayspring Technologies embodies "bearing witness to God's redeeming of the workplace, marketplace, and community" through unconventional business practices like refusing to use leverage in negotiations, maintaining only three months of cash reserves, and implementing a pay structure where CEO compensation is capped at 3x the lowest paid employee.Juliette reveals how their partnership with Redeemer Community Church led to the founding of RISE, a Christian high school where 80% of seats are reserved for first-generation college students from low-income families, with a mission of 100% four-year university admission.Key Highlights:Why Dayspring moved from downtown San Francisco to Bayview, defying conventional business wisdomThe theological imagination that shapes radical business practicesHow "prophetic emptiness" - leaving space for God to fill - birthed a transformative schoolThe power of church-business partnerships in community transformationPractical examples of living out gospel economics in the marketplaceWhy achievement and control can be more dangerous idols than moneyQuotable Moments:"I think a lot of times we call something impractical when it's largely left untried." - Juliette Chien"In order to love a place, you need to know it. In order to know it, you need to learn it, so you gotta spend time." - Chi-Ming Chien"If somebody takes your coat then give them your tunic also... That actually has implications for how we think about relating to our marketplace neighbors." - Chi-Ming ChienWatch the full episode on YouTube or continue to stream audio on your favorite podcast platform.
