    Hong Kong pedal ace Ceci Lee Sze-wing's successful title defense in the women's road cycling individual event during the ongoing 15th National Games has once again turned the spotlight on the city's cycling team, which is known for its stellar show in premier tournaments.在正在进行的第十五届全运会上,中国香港自行车名将李思颖成功卫冕女子公路自行车个人赛冠军。这一成绩再次让以顶尖赛事出色表现闻名的中国香港自行车队成为焦点。Lee's gold is the second for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region so far in this year's games, and she is also the third athlete from the SAR to triumph more than once at the National Games after Asian cycling legend Wong Kam-po and Olympian Sarah Lee Wai-sze.李思颖的这枚金牌是中国香港特别行政区在本届全运会上斩获的第二枚金牌。她也成为继亚洲自行车传奇人物黄金宝、奥运冠军李慧诗之后,第三位在全运会上多次夺冠的香港特区运动员。While hard work and discipline form the mainstay of Hong Kong cycling team's medal-winning performances, the application of cutting-edge sports technologies developed through the joint efforts of the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong has been a significant contributor to its success.香港自行车队的奖牌成就固然以刻苦训练和严格自律为核心,但内地与香港联合研发的尖端体育科技应用,同样是其成功的重要助力。A central research facility at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, which specializes in developing high-tech aerodynamic and acoustic surroundings, boasts a low-noise wind tunnel that can simulate a cycling race environment.香港科技大学的一处核心研究设施专注于研发高科技气动与声学环境,其中拥有一座低噪音风洞,可模拟自行车比赛场景。This facility, when further empowered by the nation's Tianhe 2 supercomputer in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, can not only improve cyclists' riding postures, but also assist in the development of the most suitable bike design and cycling bodysuit for them.该设施借助广东省广州市的国家“天河二号”超级计算机进一步赋能,不仅能优化运动员的骑行姿态,还能协助研发最适配他们的自行车设计与骑行服。Zhang Xin, director of the university's Aerodynamics and Acoustics Facility, highlighted the importance of using a supercomputer to develop sports technologies. As human muscle tissues and physical conditions constantly change, the computation process is complex and requires the use of a supercomputer, he said.香港科技大学气动与声学实验室主任张欣(音译)强调了利用超级计算机研发体育科技的重要性。他表示,人体肌肉组织和身体状态不断变化,计算过程复杂,必须借助超级计算机完成。Athletes of the Hong Kong cycling team have worn aero-speed suits developed and tested in the wind tunnel to compete at various major sports events, including the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. These bodysuits, tailor-made for each athlete, are estimated to reduce wind drag by an impressive 3 percent.香港自行车队运动员已身着经风洞研发测试的气动速干服,参与了包括2020年东京奥运会、2022年杭州亚运会在内的多项重大体育赛事。这些为每位运动员量身定制的服装,预计可显著降低3%的风阻。Other sports disciplines, such as windsurfing and triathlon, have also employed simulations developed using the supercomputer and the wind tunnel to optimize the postures and movements of athletes.帆板、铁人三项等其他体育项目也运用了超级计算机和风洞研发的模拟技术,优化运动员的动作姿态。During training sessions in Stanley on Hong Kong Island, sensors developed by the university recorded athletes' physical data, which was subsequently analyzed using the supercomputer.在香港岛赤柱的训练期间,该校研发的传感器记录下运动员的身体数据,随后通过超级计算机进行分析。According to Zhang, the Tianhe 2 simulated the wind conditions at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and provided the information to head coaches of the windsurfing and sailing teams. The supercomputer helped to enhance athletes' posture optimization, as well as design and select equipment, he said.张欣透露,“天河二号”曾模拟2024年巴黎奥运会的风力条件,并将相关数据提供给帆板队和帆船队主教练。超级计算机为运动员的姿态优化、装备设计与选型提供了有力支持。Sports technology cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong has deepened in recent years, with more agreements signed for further development, serving both professional athletes and the public.近年来,内地与香港的体育科技合作不断深化,签署了更多合作协议推动后续发展,惠及专业运动员与普通民众。In September, Hong Kong Polytechnic University and mainland sportswear brand Li-Ning signed a memorandum of understanding to establish the Li-Ning-PolyU Joint Research Centre for Sports Science, which aims to enhance technological application and promote industrial transformation in the sports and health sectors.9月,香港理工大学与内地运动服装品牌李宁签署合作备忘录,成立“李宁-理大体育科学联合研究中心”,旨在加强体育健康领域的技术应用与产业转型。In Guangzhou, the Nansha Sub-Center of National Supercomputer Center provides the mainland's first supercomputer direct network line for Hong Kong. A dedicated high-speed fiber-optic network from the Tianhe 2 supercomputer is used to link Guangdong and Hong Kong's scientific innovation capabilities, enabling Hong Kong users to swiftly utilize the nation's supercomputing resources. The center has continuously provided support for technological innovation in Hong Kong and Macao.在广州,国家超级计算中心南沙分中心为香港开通了内地首条超级计算机直连网络专线。依托“天河二号”的专用高速光纤网络,链接粤港两地科创力量,让香港用户可快速调用国家超级计算资源。该中心持续为港澳地区的技术创新提供支持。For athletes from Macao and Hong Kong, traveling to the mainland for training and using sports technologies to improve their skills have become common.对于港澳运动员而言,赴内地训练并运用体育科技提升竞技水平已成为常态。Macao athlete Chan Man-hin, who participated in the National Games sailing event last month, said he was equipped with a high-end GPS tracker when he trained on the mainland. The device collected his performance data, including instantaneous speed and direction during sailing, for further analysis to help improve performance, he said.澳门运动员陈敏轩(音译)上月参与了全运会帆船项目,他表示在内地训练时配备了高端GPS追踪器。该设备收集了他航行中的瞬时速度、航向等表现数据,通过进一步分析助力成绩提升。"The piece of equipment allowed me to analyze all the training data and adjust my strategy for the day of the competition," Chan said.“这款设备让我能分析所有训练数据,调整比赛当天的策略,”陈敏轩说。The nation's support for sports development in its special administrative regions extends beyond hardware to include talent cultivation.国家对特区体育发展的支持不仅限于硬件层面,还涵盖人才培养。At Guangzhou Zhongshan Whampoa School for Hong Kong and Macao Students, a base has been established to provide a professional training platform for students from Hong Kong. Selected student athletes receive targeted training in five disciplines — fencing, swimming, equestrian, shooting and running.广州中山黄埔港澳子弟学校设立了专项基地,为香港学生提供专业训练平台。入选的学生运动员将接受击剑、游泳、马术、射击、跑步五个项目的针对性训练。These athletes also get more opportunities to participate directly in competitions at provincial, national and even international levels. By undergoing scientific and systematic training, they can gain recognition of the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China, and have the chance to register as Hong Kong athletes, potentially becoming the city's elite sports representatives.这些运动员还能获得更多直接参与省、国家乃至国际级赛事的机会。通过科学系统的训练,他们有望获得中国香港体育协会暨奥林匹克委员会的认可,注册成为香港运动员,进而成为特区的精英体育代表。aerodynamic/ˌeərəʊdaɪˈnæmɪk/adj.空气动力学的;流线型的optimize/ˈɒptɪmaɪz/v.优化;使最优化

    This episode explores the deep connections between movement, body awareness, identity, and belonging, especially as experienced by people who navigate multiple cultures. The conversation dives into Marcia Bonasso Warren's unique approach to “embodied code switching,” and the role of somatic awareness in feeling at home within our bodies across shifting cultural contexts.Key Topics Discussed:What is Somatic Awareness?Originates from the Greek word for “body” (soma).Goes beyond physical presence—encompasses bodily signals, wisdom, five senses, and cultural body norms.Importance of asking: “What have my cultures told me about my body?” and recognizing how societal norms affect our sense of self.Belonging and the BodyThe sensory cues that signal belonging or otherness, from environmental context to body types reflected around us.Somatic experiences of cultural fit and difference, such as feeling physically at ease or vigilant in certain environments.Embodied Code Switching & The SIA LoopSIA Loop: Sensation → Interpretation → Action. A tool for attuning to both internal body messages and cross-cultural cues, slowing down reactions, and choosing responses intentionally.The cross-cultural transition is often first detected in the body, not the mind.Examples include changing posture, tone, or movement in response to different cultural expectations (e.g., "shrinking" or shifting vocal inflection in Tokyo).The Power of Mirroring and Interpersonal SynchronyMirroring (matching movement, posture, or inflection) naturally helps connect with others and foster belonging - as long as it's authentic, not imitation.Shared rhythms (like dance, group chants, celebrations) create community and signal inclusion even without shared language.Memory, Longing, and Grief in the Globally Mobile LifeBodily memories connect us to places and cultures left behind—there's always a sense of longing (“saudade”) for experiences that cannot fully accompany us home.Creating rituals or writing can help honor these connections and process grief.Advice for Global Nomads and Culturally Fluid IndividualsYou have permission to own your unique, multifaceted identity.Being able to cross cultures with awareness is a superpower—it enhances empathy, flexibility, and compassion.Allow yourself time to know both your hosts and yourself; notice, listen, and include your body in this ongoing conversation.“Home is in my body now, because this is what's taken me to all those places. And I still have me.”“There's always a part of you that can't come with you to the next place, but your body has a memory of those places, and because of that, it stays connected.”“Folks that move in between cultures and with different cultures, with conscious awareness... it's a superpower. And I don't say that lightly.”ResourcesBook: Movement and Identity: Multiculturalism, Somatic Awareness and Embodied Code SwitchingWhere to find Marcia Bonasso Warren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcia-bonato-warren/https://www.youtube.com/@MarciaBonatoWarrenhttps://www.facebook.com/MarciaBonatoWarrenConnect With UsIf you enjoyed this episode, subscribSupport the showHome is Where Your Story Crosses Borders!We aim to inspire expat solutions, by helping you navigate global living with ease and grace.

I thought this would be perfect for you.”Ja: 桜の目が輝き、満面の笑みがこぼれる。En: Sakura's eyes sparkled, and a broad smile spread across her face.Ja: 「ありがとう、はるとお兄ちゃん!これ、大好き!」En: “Thank you, Haruto onii-chan! I love it!”Ja: その瞬間、春斗は思った。贈り物の値段よりも、心を込めた選択が大切なのだと。En: In that moment, Haruto realized that it was more important to make a heartfelt choice than to consider the price of the gift.Ja: 彼は、特別な思い出と共に、桜の喜ぶ姿を胸に刻んだ。En: He etched Sakura's joyful expression, along with the special memory, in his heart.Ja: 商店街の賑やかさが、秋の豊かな空気と共に優しく二人を包んだ。En: The liveliness of the shotengai, together with the rich autumn air, gently embraced the two of them.

    Aujourdʹhui dans Travelling, une comédie triste… Et non, ce nʹest pas antinomique. Car qualifier Lost in Translation de Sofia Coppola de comédie dramatique est un peu dithyrambique. Il nʹy a pas de drame dans ce film, mais des tristesses qui sʹapaisent, des solitudes qui se croisent, des ennuis qui sʹeffacent. Lost in Translation est le deuxième long-métrage de Sofia Coppola après Virgin Suicide. Sorti en 2003, le film raconte la rencontre dʹun acteur sur le retour, Bill Murray, venu tourner une pub pour une marque de whisky au Japon, et qui va tomber sur une jeune femme, Scarlett Johansson, épouse délaissée dʹun photographe de célébrités. Les deux traversent une crise dʹidentité et vont partager des instants, précieux. Et cʹest ça que raconte Lost in Translation. Deux trajectoires, deux destins qui se croisent à un moment T, deux êtres perdus au sein dʹune culture qui leur est complètement étrangère, ainsi que dans leurs propres vies. Nourrie par ses propres expériences japonaises, Sofia Coppola se met à hauteur de sa comédienne et de son comédien pour capter lʹessence même de leurs états dʹâme, avec finesse et une touche de modernité en traduisant le mal-être de la solitude avec pudeur. Le film est tourné au Japon en un peu plus dʹun mois, presque dans la continuité, en laissant beaucoup de liberté aux acteurs pour improviser. A sa sortie, il est particulièrement bien accueilli par le public. Cʹest un gros succès commercial. Lost in Translation est également plébiscité par la critique et Sofia Coppola décroche lʹOscar du meilleur scénario en 2004 et le César du meilleur film étranger. Il ne nous reste plus quʹà débarquer à Tokyo et nous pourrons commencer nos déambulations.

    The former officer, Masato Takeuchi, and another suspect arrested over the case, 55-year-old company employee Hiromi Ishichi, are apparently denying the allegations. Takeuchi is a board member of a Kyoto-based group, mainly comprising former police officers, that provides daily assistance to elderly people with dementia. The police believe the two suspects withdrew several million yen in cash using the victim's card. The Deaflympics officially opened Saturday in Tokyo, marking the first time Japan has hosted the international sporting event for the deaf or hard of hearing. A record 3,081 athletes from 81 countries and regions, as well as a refugee team and a neutral team competing under the Deaflympics flag, have made the final entry list for the games, with the opening ceremony held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium in the heart of the Japanese capital.

    “I had worked too damn hard to get back to the line to just accept defeat and sit there and not even finish the race. I didn't even have to think about it. I just got straight back into it… I think it was a bit of a blessing in disguise since I didn't know what my fitness was like coming in. I thought it was decent, but this was almost an extra test of, ‘Can you fall in the last lap and still make the final? Then alright, you must be pretty fit!' I tried to take it in a positive light. To be able to do that as comfortably as I did meant that I was in a good spot.”My guest for today's episode is George Beamish, the 2025 world champion in the men's 3000m steeplechase. If you somehow missed it, go back and watch that last lap in Tokyo. It was one for the ages. George was 11th with 400m to go, behind the world record holder and the reigning four-time global champion, but this is textbook George we're talking about. The guy who has made a career out of chaos and closing speed in those final stages of the race.In this episode, he'll put you in his shoes for the final lap and how he flipped the story of that race on its head. He stopped the clock in 8:33, the slowest winning time for the steeplechase at a global championship since 1968 and somehow one of the most electric finishes that you'll ever see.For New Zealand, it was their first gold in a track event at Worlds in a long time. For Beamish, it was validation after years of injuries and disappointments at global championships and that with a little bit of belief, he'd still be able to prove his best. Today we talk about that race and the season as a whole.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: George Beamish | @georgebeamish on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSNOMIO: Made with 80% broccoli sprout juice, 15% lemon juice, and 5% sugar, Nomio activates your body's natural defense systems to reduce lactate, speed recovery, and enhance muscle adaptation.

    “Boy wonder by day. Boy toy by night.” In this candid conversation, host Ian Henzel talks with Jobert Abueva Reed about Boy Wander—a memoir that moves from Manila to Kathmandu, Bangkok, and Tokyo, then across the U.S., tracing a brilliant student leader's secret life in 1970s Japan. As a child TV personality and top performer at an all-boys Catholic international school, Jobert seemed destined for greatness. After class, he lived another reality—turning tricks with foreign guests at Tokyo's Imperial Hotel—while trying to reconcile family expectations, faith, and the truth of who he was. They discuss how a pre-AIDS coming-of-age shaped the book's urgent honesty, why Tokyo felt uniquely safe, and how an episodic writing process became a propulsive narrative. The episode is equal parts craft talk and cultural history—about surviving, remembering, and finally being seen. What we cover The “golden boy” mask: student council, debate, track, theater—and the secret after dark Tokyo as a safe(-r) haven for queer exploration in the 1970s Pre-AIDS context and how it frames risk, shame, and liberation Turning raw episodes into memoir: structure, voice, and truth-telling Reconciling family values, Catholic schooling, and personal identity Migration, transience, and finding home across continents Why diverse LGBTQ voices matter to younger readers now Get the Book:

Synopsis: The Straits Times’ senior columnist Ravi Velloor distils 45 years of experience covering the Asian continent, with expert guests. In this wide-ranging conversation, Ravi speaks with Professor Tomohiko Taniguchi, foreign policy adviser to the Cabinet of the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and one of the most authoritative voices on Japan about the ascend and likely impact of Sanae Takaichi. They discuss Ms Takaichi’s first diplomatic encounter with US President Donald Trump, her hardline approach to defence, and China, Japan’s shifting priorities in Asean as Philippines rises in salience and Indonesia declines, Tokyo’s dread of Trump’s ‘G-2’ talk, the future of the Quad security dialogue, and her approach to economic policy. They also discuss Ms Takaichi’s softer, personal side – her early life, propensity to ride powerful motorbikes, marriage to the same man twice and finally, the question: Now that Japan has its first woman PM, is it time to consider an Empress for Japan?

    Florida's first search-and-rescue otter, Chinese Communists arrested and detained three Christians, Japanese soldiers address attacks by bears

    It's Wednesday, November 12th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Chinese Communists arrested and detained three Christians Communist authorities in central China arrested and detained three Christians from a house church this month. Two of the Christians are pastors. They are facing trumped up charges of “fraud” and had previously spent over two years in custody. Officials often use such charges against house church leaders for simply receiving tithes and offerings. ChinaAid noted, “In recent years, the charge of ‘fraud' has increasingly been used by local governments across China as a common tactic to suppress pastors of house churches systematically.” Psalm 14:1, 4 says, “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.' They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good. … Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?” Japanese soldiers address attacks by bears Japan deployed troops to the northern part of the island country last week to deal with a string of deadly attacks—from bears. Since April of this year, bears have killed at least 13 people in Japan and injured over 100 more. That's the most fatalities on record. Experts are blaming the attacks on a poor acorn harvest this year. Bears are now leaving their natural habitats and wandering into urban areas to find food. In one incident last month, a bear attacked shoppers at a supermarket 80 miles north of Tokyo.   Supreme Court affirms Trump's call for biologically accurate passports In the United States, the U.S. Supreme ruled in favor of the Trump administration in a case involving so-called gender identity.  The ruling allows the State Department to require passports to list the holder's biological sex at birth. The court ruled 6-3 along ideological lines.  The ruling stated, “Displaying passport holders' sex at birth no more offends equal protection principles than displaying their country of birth—in both cases, the government is merely attesting to an historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment.” Nebraska defunded Planned Parenthood Nebraska became the latest state to defund abortion providers like Planned Parenthood.  The state's Republican Governor Jim Pillen  signed an executive order last Thursday to end Medicaid funding to abortion providers. Nebraska made the move after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed South Carolina to defund Planned Parenthood.   Listen to comments from Nebraska State Attorney General Mike Hilgers. HILGERS: “Today is a culmination of years of work to ensure that Nebraska taxpayers no longer have their tax dollars going to fund abortions in the state of Nebraska. It's a fight that has gone on even from my time in the legislature.  “When we first got Title X funds, we stopped Title X from going to abortion providers, and now, thanks to [Nebraska] Governor Pillen's leadership, we have finally gotten to a place where taxpayer funds will no longer support abortions.” Age of first-time home buyer has increased to record high of 40 The National Association of Realtors released their 2025 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers. The share of homes being bought by first-time buyers dropped to a record low of 21% over the last year. Meanwhile, the typical age of a first-time buyer climbed to an all-time high of 40. Jessica Lautz, Deputy Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors, said, “The historically low share of first-time buyers underscores the real-world consequences of a housing market starved for affordable inventory.” Regular Bible readers are more generous The American Bible Society released a new chapter from its State of the Bible USA 2025 report. The research found people who read the Bible regularly are more likely to be generous. Among Christian denominations, Evangelical Protestants have the highest percentage of givers and the highest median amount given. John Plake with the American Bible Society said, “The correlation between Scripture engagement and loving behavior and generosity is undeniable. The more people engage with Scripture, the more likely they are to give of their time, talents, and treasures and to act lovingly toward their neighbors.” In 1 Corinthians 9:7, the Apostle Paul wrote, “So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.” Florida's first search-and-rescue otter And finally, officials in Florida are deploying their first ever search-and-rescue otter. Splash, the two-year-old otter, is now helping the Martin County Sheriff's Office in search and rescue missions. Splash uses a unique bubble technique to detect scents underwater. This allows him to find missing bodies more effectively than dive teams can.  Listen to comments from Sheriff John Budensiek to CBS12 News. BUDENSIEK: “We see a lot of innovative things with technology [Artificial Intelligence], but we're going back to the basics of using an animal to do what they do best, and that's to go in their own environment and detect things that don't belong there.” A rescue otter.  What a brilliant way to employ one of God's creatures to rescue those made in God's image!

    No American runner made more noise in 2025 than Nico Young.The 23-year-old prodigy smashed the 5,000m American record, claimed his first national title, and battled the world's best in Tokyo. In June, he stormed through the Bislett Games in Oslo, running 12:45.27 for 5,000 meters, which was a new American record. Barely two months later, he claimed his first U.S. title at 10,000 meters in Eugene, clocking 29:02.12 to solidify his dominance on home soil. Then, on the world's biggest stage in Tokyo, Young placed fifth in the 10,000m at the 2025 World Championships, closing his breakout season in a dynamic way.Young's rise has been meteoric but methodical. A former NCAA champion from Northern Arizona University, he first stunned the sport in 2024 by debuting at 26:52.72 for 10,000 meters–an NCAA and American collegiate record–then qualifying for the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he finished 12th. Turning pro with Adidas that summer, he entered 2025 with sharper focus and the freedom to train through longer, uninterrupted blocks under coach Mike Smith in Flagstaff, Arizona.Now a national champion, world finalist, and record holder, Young owns personal bests of 12:45.27 (5,000m), 26:52.72 (10,000m), and 7:37.73 (3,000m). His performances are redefining what's possible for American distance runners, and he's doing it with trademark composure and humility.Tap into the Nico Young Special.  If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz
