Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 41-points this morning from Friday's close, at 32,002 on turnover of 7.2-billion N-T. The market closed at yet another high on Friday as Wall Street made gains overnight after U-S President Donald Trump rescinded his tariff threats on European countries over the pursuit of Greenland. Subject: E*Taiwan to list Nipah virus as Category 5 disease after India outbreak Return to Table of contents The Centers for Disease Control says it plans to list Nipah virus infection as a Category 5 notifiable disease following a recent outbreak of the virus in India. According to the C-D-C, it released a proposed change to its measures on controlling infectious diseases on January 16 -- which would list Nipah virus infection as a Category 5 disease. The measure now has to undergo a 60-day period during which members of the public can comment on it before it can take effect. The Nipah virus has only been under priority surveillance (監視) in Taiwan since 2018. The Nipah virus can infect humans through contact with infected bats or animals such as pigs. CAA probes Starlux flight to Kobe after hard landing The Civil Aeronautics Administration is investigating a Starlux Airlines flight from Taichung to Kobe after it experienced a hard landing. The incident occured on January 20 and the C double A has grounded the crew pending the outcome of the investigation. According to the administration, the flight exceeded vertical G-force limits during its landing, meaning the aircraft touched down with a stronger-than-normal downward force. Starlux says the flight encountered a sudden gust of wind on approach, which triggered (觸發) abnormal system readings, but has not released any further details of the incident. Philippines Ferry Sinking An inter-island ferry with more than 350 on board has sunk in the southern Philippines after midnight. Rescuers have saved at least 244 passengers and retrieved 13 bodies. Officials say the M/V Trisha Kerstin 3, a cargo and passenger ferry, was sailing to southern Jolo island in Sulu province from the port city of Zamboanga with 332 passengers and 27 crew members when it apparently encountered (遭遇) technical problems and sank. Coast guard and navy ships, along with a surveillance plane, an air force Black Hawk helicopter and fleets of fishing boats were carrying out search and rescue operations off Basilan. Officials say the cause of the ferry sinking was not immediately clear and there will be an investigation. Federal and state officials both claim moral high ground in immigration crackdown after shooting Protests continue in Minneapolis following a second fatal (致命的) shooting by federal law enforcement. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports France President Wants Social Media Ban FastTracked French President Emmanuel Macron says he wants to fast-track a ban on social media for teenagers under 15. He aims for the law to take effect in September. Macron made the announcement in a video released over the weekend. He emphasized that children's emotions and minds should not be manipulated by (受到操縱 / 操控) social media platforms. This move follows the British government's consideration of a similar ban. France's health watchdog reports that many teenagers spend hours daily on social media, leading to negative effects like low self-esteem and exposure (接觸) to harmful content. Macron's office confirmed the bill will be discussed today. That was the I.C.R.T.

In der legendären Crew der originalen Star-Trek-Serie war er der letzte Zugang und als solcher ein oft unbeschriebenes Blatt: Pavel Chekov, in Deutschland gelegentlich Pane genannt. Sitznachbar von Sulu, später für eine desaströse Mission auf der Reliant angeheuert und schließlich Sicherheitschef der Enterprise-A. Greg Cox' neuer TOS-Roman "Identity Theft" setzt dem Russen buchstäblich die Hörner auf, schickt ihn auf ein spaßiges Action-Abenteuer zwischen fünftem und sechstem Kinofilm und bedient sich unverhofft einer eher unbeliebten TOS-Episode. Die Tadderiche laden zum Buchklub.

The trek through old school TOS continues. Before we take a little break to attend Starfleet Academy, the Prime Subjective crew (Chris Newcomer, Karie Coleman-Hinners, Michael Henley) tackles TOS S1E4, "The Naked Time." Expect drunken shenanigans, Sulu fencing, Kirk off the leash, Irish folk songs, Spock crying, and the most ill-advised hot zone investigation protocols this side of [insert joke about current political landscape here]. Oh, and time travel, too! Buckle up, grab your foil, take Kathleen home (again), and enjoy our discussion on this early Trek classic!

Star Trek has found its new Bones and Sulu, yet we have to wait a while before we actually see them. The video game industry lost a true legend, and we salute everything Vince Zampella brought us. Marvel goes back to what it knows for Doomsday, and Macauly decides what is and isn't a Christmas Movie. Plus we may have to wait a little longer for 007's video game return.

Greg Cox: Identity Theft. Pavel Chekov is a reminder that some Star Trek characters do their most interesting growing just outside the spotlight. Known for his youthful enthusiasm, sharp wit, and loyalty to the Enterprise, much of Chekov's development is implied rather than shown on screen. That makes tie-in novels an ideal space to explore characters like him in greater depth, filling in the moments between episodes and missions. In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Casey Pettitt and Jonathan Koan are joined once again by author Greg Cox to discuss his new Original Series novel, Identity Theft. Mostly taking place in the movie-era, we finally get Chekov in the spotlight. We discuss Chekov's identity crisis, getting off the bridge, how this is absolutely not a sequel, and much more!

Welcome back to the Christmas traditions series. Today, we're looking at Christmas in the Philippines. In the Philippines, Christmas is not squeezed into a few days. It spans months and fills homes, churches, streets, and entire neighborhoods. People begin talking about Christmas early, and once it starts, it stays in view for a long time. The heart of it is still the same. Christians gather to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, and many of the best-loved customs are built around church worship, family, and community. The Philippines is one of the most strongly Christian nations in Asia, and most Christians there are Catholic, with Protestant communities as well. That Christian foundation matters because it explains why Christmas is not only widespread but deeply rooted in church life. To understand Christmas in the Philippines, you have to know how Christianity became part of the country's story. Before Spanish rule, the islands had their own local religions and customs. Trade connected the islands to many parts of Asia, and Islam had already taken root in the southern Philippines, especially in Mindanao and the Sulu region. Then, in the 1500s, Spanish exploration reached the islands. In 1521, Ferdinand Magellan arrived and made alliances with local leaders, and Christianity was introduced in that early period. Spanish rule expanded more fully later, and over the following centuries, Catholicism spread widely across the islands...

It's one of the biggest television shows in history! Today at When It Was Cool, Karl reviews Episode 1 Season 1 of Star Trek from 1966.  Now Karl is admittedly a bigger Star Wars fan than Star Trek fan but he tells us that he really enjoyed episode 1 of Star Trek.  This episode in interesting, in that, it is actually closer to a horror or Twilight Zone episode than a sci-fi movie. We meet Captain Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Sulu, and others for the first time and learn a little bit about them. Join When It Was Cool for some fun Star Trek talk on this Wednesday retro TV review!

The Man Trap! In this episode of the Prime Subjective, Chris Newcomer, Mike Henley and Karie Coleman-Hinners begin a serious deep dive into classic classic Trek!

In the latest chapter of STAR TREK: KHAN, "The Good of All," loyalties fracture and truths are revealed. As distrust mounts among the exiles on Ceti Alpha V, Khan seeks common ground with the Elboreans and their enigmatic leader, Delmonda. Meanwhile, tensions boil over when both the Elboreans and the Augments experience tragedy. There's a lot for us to chew on and that's not even mentioning the Excelsior drama between Tuvok, Sulu, and the mysterious Dr. Rosalind Lear.

In June 2008, an ABS-CBN news team had just arrived in the quiet town of Maimbung, Sulu, determined to land an exclusive story from the leaders of the infamous Abu Sayyaf Group.At the time, Abu Sayyaf was one of the most feared armed groups in the Philippines—known for kidnappings, bombings, and ties to terrorism. Getting a sit-down with its leaders would have been a huge scoop, offering rare insight into their motives and operations.At the center of it all was Cecilia Victoria “Ces” Oreña-Drilon, a seasoned broadcast journalist admired for her bravery and instinct for powerful stories. On June 8, 2008, Ces, her crew, and Mindanao State University professor Octavio Dinampo entered the tense and unpredictable terrain of Jolo—unaware that they were about to be part of one of the most terrifying moments in Philippine media history.For any collaboration, brand partnership, and campaign run inquiries, e-mail us at info@thepodnetwork.com.Enjoy a good game of BingoPlus! — the first online poker casino in the Philippines.

Welcome to this Inwood Art Works On Air podcast artist spotlight episode featuring local filmmaker and musician, Steven Mallorca. As a director, editor, and director of photographer, Steven Mallorca has produced a large body of work that spans across narrative, documentary, commercial, and music video film fronts. Steve co-directed, edited and shot A Peloton of One which won the 2020 Greenwich International Film Festival Audience Award, and served as the Director of Photography and Editor of the 2015 ESPN documentary, The Lost Trophy. His directorial feature debut, Slow Jam King, was hailed by the New York Times as “Do it yourself filmmaking at its purest… with spirited characters and high levels of comic energy” and won Asian Cinevision's Emerging Director Award. Steve is also the series editor for San Francisco Opera's 2022 Webby Award-winning documentary series, In Song, as well as Cleveland Orchestra's performance and documentary series, In Focus. He is also an independent musician, and in December 2022, he released his 3rd album under the moniker Sulu and Excelsior, “So Ends the Honeymoon,” to critical acclaim.

Bishop Benjamin de Jesus—known for his kindness and fearless work in one of the country's most dangerous regions—was gunned down in cold blood in the morning of February 4, 1997, at Jolo, Sulu. Witnesses say two men walked right up to him and opened fire at close range, hitting him in the head, face, neck, shoulder, and stomach. He died instantly.Investigators quickly pointed to members of the Abu Sayyaf group—or other armed militants operating in the area—as the likely culprits. But in a place where politics, religion, and violence were tangled together, finding the real masterminds would prove far more complicated.CONNECT WITH US▸ https://linktr.ee/phmurderstoriesHere are links to our social media accounts, case photos, episode notes, and sources!YOUTUBE▸ www.youtube.com/phmurderstories DISCORD SERVER▸ https://bit.ly/3n38Tuh IG CHANNEL▸ https://ig.me/j/AbaOmN2HytgKay0F/ SUPPORT OUR SHOW ON PATREON▸ www.patreon.com/phmurderstories Hosted on Acast.

I Made It with Cartoon Characters (It's Weird but Not Atrocious) (parody of "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" from Mary Poppins) Music by The Sherman Brothers New lyrics by Sulu Special thanks to : the great Luke Ski (the inspiration behind this song) Christopher Bay Jeff Morris (for technical and audio assistance) Michael Lestatkatt (for technical and audio assistance) Mike Kieffer Steve Goodie (for sharing his stage with me, allowing me to debut the song in front of a live audience)) David Vasquez and Jeff Lewis at Moonlight Studios L.A. (production) And last but not least: Dr. Demento (Beh) I've always been a loyal fan of cartoon characters of the 1960s and '70s, and wondered what it would be like to have them be my friends. I always fantasized about jumping into an animation reel with them. Ha ha! the great Luke Ski was always doing funny cartoon-related songs, which served as inspiration for me, as well as current movies and TV series about modern cartoon characters. I decided to spice up the lyrics and take my fantasy friendships up a notch!

Put on your best private detective hat and prepare to get into character as we talk step into the Holodeck and prepare ourselves for inevitable disappointment. In ‘The Practical Joker,' the Enterprise computer gets wacky while Bones, Sulu and Uhura fail to enjoy a primitive Holodeck. In ‘My Way,' Odo uses AI to make girls like him and we get a lot of song and dance numbers (and the best IDW comics pitch) as we meet Vic Fontaine while in Strange New Worlds' Space Adventure Hour, La'an gets to beta-test the Holodeck and nearly kills everyone on the Enterprise doing so. Typical. Bloody Typical.Miles is a Jerk!

SHOW NOTES: The Practical Joker (07:50) My Way (28:49) Space Adventure Hour (55:03)

TALKING POINTS: The Knives, Doctor Who, the Southern Reach series (and the only film where Miles nearly wet himself in the cinema) Brighton Wok the Legend of Ganja Boxing, TAS actually pulling off some Shacting, Unfortunate stains, a noncanonical reason for Chekov's absence from TAS, Romulan pranks are usually pretty deadly, Hamboning, Odo secretly being a gossipy bitch, Miles and Charlie talk relationship advice, Tom Jones in Star Trek, we come up with the PERFECT IDW Comic pitch, Miles hates when 50s SF TV and Cinema is immediatly shown to be crap, The Last Frontier feels too mean spirited to be affectionate, the cast getting to play, Uhura and Scotty is a great contrast to Uhura at the start of Strange New Worlds, the L'an and Spock pairing seems weird and the show is obsessed with making us know Spock ***ks, Vulcan Walk of Shame, Charlie has tried to Riker a chair (Update: Charlie can still Riker a chair)

PEDANT'S CORNER: Top of the Pops and Old Grey Whistle Test are BBC Music shows, there was some BS about flags in the British News hence the strange tangent about flags. Neighbors and Home and Away are two long running Australian soap operas that were incredibly popular in the UK back in the day.

We're kicking off Season 14 with a legend. George Takei joins The Trek Files to reflect on landing the role of Sulu in Star Trek's second pilot, “Where No Man Has Gone Before”—filmed 60 years ago in July 1965. With humor and honesty, George recalls the early days on set at Desilu's Culver Studios, working alongside James Doohan, and navigating the challenges of being a closeted gay actor in 1960s Hollywood. In a wide-ranging and heartfelt conversation, George also shares his early talks with Gene Roddenberry about Star Trek's inclusive vision—and what it meant to see that future taking shape on screen, even in its earliest days.

Tread Perilously begins its annual Star Trek month with an episode of the original series called "Catspaw." When a landing party including Mr. Scott and Mr. Sulu is overdue, Captain Kirk meets the one person to come back in the transporter bay only for the red shirt to die moments later. Soon, Kirk, Spock, and Bones beam down to determine what's going on as the sensors claim there is no life on the surface. Soon, the trio encounter their missing crewmates, who have been hypnotized by aliens with amazing god-like powers. Will Kirk be able to use his wits and raw animal magnetism to confuse and defeat his opponents? Erik and Justin zero in on William Shatner's seeming oversight of the episode. Guest characters Korob and Sylvia are examined for their potential as Q Continuum characters. Sci-fi nomenclature gets a moment to shine. James Doohan gets his props for making Scotty's admiration of Kirk so convincing. Shatner's mother also makes another appearance thanks to the actor choosing a curious way to say a certain word. McCoy's anti-Vulcan rhetoric gets examined. Wahl's Herring Candy reappears. Checkov's hair provokes comments. Justin tries to figure out why Robert Bloch turned in such a weak script. Lot of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds talk occurs and Spock somehow joins the commentary.

Today, they're one of the largest Christian populations in Indonesia, with over 6 million believers. The transformation happened because someone, a German missionary named Ludwig Nommensen, decided their spiritual poverty was unacceptable. That was 190 years ago. Today, 4,473 people groups are still waiting for their Ludwig Nommensen moment. The People Group Adoption Program launches today, and here's how it works: It meets you where you are. You're not being asked to become a missionary in the field (though if God calls you to that, we'll cheer you on). You're being invited to use your current gifts, prayer, advocacy, networking, research to support those who are already called to go. It's strategic. Every people group in our database has been vetted by researchers and field workers. These aren't randomly selected communities. They're the 100 largest frontier people groups, the populations with the least gospel access and the greatest potential for kingdom impact. It grows with your capacity. Whether you're adopting as a family, church, or organization, the commitment adjusts to what you can offer. Some will pray weekly. Others will fund translation projects. A few will end up moving to the field. All contributions matter. When you adopt a people group today, you'll receive: Immediate next steps for your specific adopted group A digital covenant card to mark your commitment Information about your frontier people group Regular updates as we develop more resources and connections Beyond the practical resources, you'll receive something harder to quantify: the knowledge that you're part of a strategic response to the most urgent spiritual need on our planet. The Batak people have been sending missionaries to unreached groups for decades now. Their story didn't end with their own transformation; it multiplied exponentially. Your adopted people group could be the next

King Kandoro and Munashe explore a variety of topics ranging from personal anecdotes and cultural observations to critiques of public figures and current events. In this episode, the hosts delve into the complexities of relationships, the impact of rumors, and the legal implications surrounding allegations. They explore how social media shapes personal narratives and discuss cultural myths and supernatural beliefs prevalent in Zimbabwe. The conversation is rich with personal anecdotes, humor, and insights into the human experience, making it both entertaining and thought-provoking.

It's episode 69 and so our brave Casual Explorers are showing their emotional age by watching the infamous ‘everyone gets drunk, horny and crazy' episodes of Star Trek, TOS' The Naked Time where George Takei shows off his impressive sword and TNG's less impressive ‘The Naked Now' where Charlie asks the most important question ‘if Data has no emotions, why did his creator build him to be fully functional, sexually?' and Miles asks the second most important question ‘Why have this as an second episode?' Meanwhile, Guest-Star Cele from ‘Celeste is Best' gets to talk about Lower Decks' own ‘everyone goes drunk and crazy' with ‘Empathalogical Fallacies' and has no real important questions to ask except ‘why is this so delightful?' WARNING: Believing yourself to be descended from Irish Kings does not in fact make you an Irish King.EPISODES DISCUSSED: ‘The Naked Time' (19:44) ‘The Naked Now' (52:44) ‘Empathalogical Fallacies' (1:25:09)TALKING POINTS INCLUDE: Donut County, the Elric books, the Superman movie, Man of Steel, Fortunate Son was not the only song about Vietnam, Spock looks weird in a black t-shirt, Sulu looks great with no shirt, Spock is a huggy drunk, how NOT to follow up your first episode of a brand new TV Series, Picard's weird grunting, Miles and Charlie share stories of drunken productiveness, the failure of the writers to make Wesley likeable, the canonical reason why Data is ‘fully functional' and why Lore is EEEEEVIL, Denise Crosby's incredible mincing and costumes, everyone should watch Lifeforce, the very referential nature of Lower Decks feels like a bug, Worf would not host a poetry slam, Cele gushes about the fantastic work of Jamie Loftus.PEDANTS CORNER: Miles pronounces D'Artagnan as Dogtanian, but the Muskehounds are always ready.

Real Life Ben spent the week playing nurse, but at least it was a summer cold—infinitely easier than juggling tissues and PTO requests during the school year. The only upside to a sick kid when the sun's out? More cartoons, fewer emails. Hearing Ben wiping noses and handing out popsicles, Steven got nostalgic about Scrubs. Remember Scrubs? Wholesome chaos. Heartfelt weirdness. Probably due for a chaotic Gen Z reboot starring TikTok doctors and JD's ghost AI. Devon was out of town. No details, just gone. Like a Vulcan on shore leave or a cowboy riding off into a logical sunset. We assume he's fine. Or at least reading a very dense novel. Steven went full social butterfly with a jam-packed weekend featuring a wedding and a birthday party. Somehow in between the formal wear and paper plates, he managed to catch Fantastic Four: First Steps. And? He says it's the best Fantastic Four movie he's ever seen. Not necessarily the best Marvel movie, but undeniably its own thing: scientists-turned-superheroes faced with a moral conundrum, wrapped in bright tones and a vibe that says hope isn't dead, it's just been on vacation. Earth 828 (a sweet nod to Jack Kirby's birthday) plays host to a story that takes a deliberate break from the usual “everything is pain” comic fare. Also, there's now a universe where Matt Shakman didn't make Fantastic Four, but instead gifted us a cheerful, boldly optimistic fourth Kelvin Star Trek movie. It lives only in our dreams and this deeply bittersweet TrekMovie article. Sigh. Future or Now Ben, our resident Trekspert, has bucketload of Star Trek news from San Diego Comic-Con: Starfleet Academy got a first trailer, and introduced us to the U.S.S. Athena. George Takei and Tim Russ are teaming up in the Khan audio series, where we'll get to hear Sulu and Tuvok in action. (We assume Tim Russ will sigh at Takei at least once.) Strange New Worlds Season 4 teased a bold new puppet frontier? Yep. Puppets. And then there's the Gwarm. What is a Gwarm, you ask? It's a Star Wars thing, and before you know it, Ben and Steven are back in the Star Wars vs. Star Trek sandbox, flinging references like action figures. (We don't stop them. It's too entertaining.) Meanwhile, Steven was also reading science headlines between existential sighs. The latest? Allegro-FM just pushed material science forward by enabling simulations 1,000 times larger than previous ones. That's like going from Tinker Toys to a Dyson Sphere. Or from The Pedestrian to a full Black Mirror season. Link Book Club This week, we read The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury. It's eerie how much this story hits in 2025. A man simply walking at night in Los Angeles gets stopped by an automated police car because being outside is just too suspicious. It's based on Bradbury's real address, and it feels uncomfortably like reality. Mausoleum houses, ghostly TV glow, no sidewalks—just suburban stillness and surveillance. If All Summer in a Day is melancholy, this one's… mournful. Next week we're sticking with Bradbury and reading All Summer in a Day. Rain, Venus, longing, and memory. If The Pedestrian feels like now, All Summer feels like childhood—brief, beautiful, and barely remembered. You can read it here or watch this version that captures the heartbreak with just the right number of slow pans and sad violins. That's it for this week. Whether you're dodging summer colds, traveling through alternate Marvels, or wondering if that sidewalk outside is still walkable, we'll be here—talking Trek, reading Bradbury, and keeping the lights on. Let us know what you thought of Fantastic Four: First Steps. And if you've ever been detained by a futuristic car for taking a stroll, uh… blink twice?

Oh MY have we got a good one for you this week! I am so thrilled to have the incredible George Takei on the show. What a joy to sit down with an absolute icon. George became a household name playing Sulu on many iterations of Star Trek. He also played Kaito Nakamura in Heroes and he and I had so much fun playing ourselves together on The Big Bang Theory. Throughout his career, George has always been an activist and we talk about that side of his life in this conversation as well. He has a new graphic memoir out now called “It Rhymes with Takei,” which is all about his experience as a closeted man in Hollywood and then coming out at age 68. We discuss what that time in his life was like, and we talk about the origins of his activism, going all the way back to his early childhood in an internment camp during World War II. It was a privilege to get to have this conversation and I hope you enjoy it! Be sure to stick around afterwards for the Hindsight, where my producer Jeph and I discuss the episode and I learn this is not the first time Jeph has met George Takei.

With Strange New Worlds boldly going where no one has gone before, rumors are swirling that co-creator Akiva Goldsman wants to continue where The Original Series left off. But what would that actually look like?On this week's episode of Strange New Pod, the crew breaks down what we'd want — and not want — from a potential TOS continuation. Would it take place before “The Man Trap”? After “Turnabout Intruder”? Could it even pick up post-The Motion Picture? And what about the characters we haven't seen yet in SNW, like Bones, Sulu, Chekov, and Yeoman Rand? We talk casting, timeline possibilities, tone, and where a new series like this could, and should, fit into Trek canon.

The eastern archipelagos stretch from Mindanao and Sulu in the north to Bali in the southwest and New Guinea in the southeast. Many of their inhabitants are regarded as “people without history”, while colonial borders cut across shared underlying patterns. Yet many of these societies were linked to trans-oceanic trading systems for millennia. Indeed, some of the world's most prized commodities once came from territories which were either “stateless” or under the very tenuous control of loosely structured polities. Although individual regimes sought to control traffic, exchange between trans-regional or even trans-oceanic shippers and local communities was often direct, without mediation by overarching authorities. In Seaways and Gatekeepers: Trade and State in the Eastern Archipelagos of Southeast Asia, C.1600-c.1906 (NUS Press, 2021), trade provides the integrating framework for local and regional histories that cover more than 300 years, from the late 16th century to the beginning of the 20th, when new technologies and changing markets signaled Western dominance. The introduction considers theories from the social sciences and economics which can help liberate writers from dependence on states as narrative frameworks. Southeast Asian specialists can learn from this book, which ignores conventional geographic and temporal boundaries. It will also appeal to those working on wider themes such as global history, state formation, the evolution of markets and anthropology. Learn more about your ad choices.
