This episode breaks down the major talking points from the latest NRL trials, including the Knights' spine decisions, Luciano Leilua's role and relevance, and whether the Tigers are showing genuine improvement heading into SuperCoach 2026.We unpack what these performances could mean for team structure, job security, and early-season decision-making, while keeping trial context front of mind. Not every strong showing translates into season success, so we focus on what matters and what may be noise.This episode is part of The Seven Tackle Set, the NRL SuperCoach podcast from SuperCoach Insight, formerly Insight Fantasy Sports.Check out the other shows from the pre-season: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1cFHlQFzCbxZL8bSACsca6S5ty-6Y11A&si=BT0gM1j82wbB2xbOJoin our FREE discord here: https://discord.gg/6fDXWnBHMCGet your FREE consult with Ryan from Astute Newstead: https://tally.so/r/n005AQHostsSC BrainInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/braintalksball/Twitter: https://x.com/BrainTalksBallSC WhispererInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/scwhisperer/Twitter: https://x.com/SCWhispererSC MattrixInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sc_mattrix/Twitter: https://x.com/SC_MattrixSeven Tackle SetInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/seventacklesetnrl/Twitter: https://x.com/7TackleSetNRLPatreonIf you want the full experience and actual weekly edges, our Patreon is where everything lives.Exclusive podcasts and articles, weekly team reveals and trades, subscriber Q&A, consensus position rankings, premium Discord access, and direct 1-1 access to the hosts.Join here: https://www.patreon.com/12428569/joinChapters0:00 Valentine's Day Vibes + We're Talking Saturday Trials2:58 League Code + Patreon Plug (Why the Community Hits Different)4:55 Sea Eagles v Warriors: The Only Bits That Matter (Erin Clark, Capewell, Trials Context)6:41 BREAKING: Luciano Leilua Scores… Sound the “BUY” Siren9:00 Tigers v Roosters: Tigers Win = Grand Final Tickets?

This week on Podcast Like It's the 2000s, Phil and Emily continue their Valentine's miniseries on the films of Wong Kar-wai with a deep dive into his dreamy, decadent, and divisive follow-up to In the Mood for Love: 2046. Joining them is Screen Drafts co-host Clay Keller to unpack memory, desire, sci-fi metaphors, hotel rooms, and the many women orbiting Tony Leung's endlessly romantic (and endlessly messy) Chow Mo-wan.Early in the episode, Phil provides context for listeners who may not have seen the film, walking through its fractured narrative, a futuristic train that takes passengers to a place where memories can be reclaimed, and a writer blurring fiction and reality as he drifts through the Oriental Hotel and the ghosts of love past.The conversation explores how 2046 expands Wong's romantic universe into something colder, more reflective, and more haunted. Is it a sequel? A remix? A sci-fi epilogue? A man trying to freeze time so he never has to grow up? The trio discusses the film's nonlinear structure, its lush visual language, recurring musical motifs, and the way longing becomes both theme and architecture.They also touch on the film's limited U.S. release, its evolving critical reputation, and how it fits into Wong Kar-wai's broader body of work. Along the way, the episode offers a brief glimpse behind the scenes of this Valentine's miniseries and how close to release these conversations sometimes are.
“I hope you continue to be extremely intentional in choosing to be exactly where your feet are every moment that you are.”Lynn WongEpisode Summary:In this keynote episode from Zweig Group's ElevateAEC2025 Conference, Lynn Wong delivers a powerful talk on what it takes to thrive—both personally and collectively—in the architecture, engineering, and construction world. Drawing from her global leadership experience and some transformative moments along the way, Lynn explores where well-being, conscious leadership, and innovation meet.She opens up about her own story: climbing the ladder across three continents, hitting burnout hard, then finding her way back through slowing down and living with intention. Lynn connects the dots between wellness science and team dynamics, the importance of unlearning old patterns, and how to navigate the disruptions reshaping the AEC industry. Her message is clear: make conscious choices, take care of yourself, and build resilience—in your own life and across the profession.Key Takeaways:Intentional Leadership: Being fully present, knowing oneself deeply, and making conscious choices are foundational to thriving as a leader—especially amid rapid industry change.Slowing Down to Speed Up: Sustainable progress in AEC comes not from relentless pace but from mindful “slowing down”—pausing for clarity, reflection, and purposeful action.Personal Well-Being Fuels Teams: Core habits like breathing deeply, moving joyfully, mindful eating, and sleeping gratefully are essential for personal health, which in turn impacts collective performance and creativity.Embrace Unlearning for Innovation: Growth and transformation in organizations and individuals require an openness to “unlearning” old habits and perspectives and a willingness to navigate discomfort.Celebrate Team Strengths: Success in the AEC industry is rooted in collaboration, recognizing individual and team strengths, and honoring human potential in every project.All this and more on this episode of the Zweig Letter podcast.Links referenced in this episode:Connect with Lynn Wong on LinkedInLearn about the Zweig Letter and subscribe: https://thezweigletter.com/Connect with Randy Wilburn on LinkedInGet your FREE Subscription to the Zweig Letter Newsletter.Stay tuned for more

On this episode of Talking Shop I am joined by Zipline CEO and co-founder Melissa Wong. We discuss how Melissa's 10 years' of frontline experience informed her approach to building a SaaS company, the recurring operational frustrations that most head offices still underestimate, and why she believes technology should be designed with the store associate as the primary user. We also explore current trends in store execution and how retailers can bridge the gap between corporate strategy and the shop floor.
Older Americans are struggling with social isolation more than ever. This can lead to challenges with mental and physical health as people age, and one nonprofit is having great success trying to do something about it. Life Story Club uses scheduled Zoom and phone calls form members to share stories about their past, present, and plans for their future. In this Blue Sky conversation, interim director and geriatric specialist Dr. Jennifer Wong describes how this life-changing organization operates. Chapters: 00:00 Welcome and Jennifer's Background The episode introduces Blue Sky and its focus on optimism, then introduces guest Dr. Jennifer Wong. Dr. Wong shares her journey into experimental psychology and her passion for supporting older adults and those with disabilities, which stems from personal experiences with family health challenges. 05:00 Life Story Club's Mission Jennifer explains how she connected with the Life Story Club and describes its simple yet effective model. The club gathers older adults virtually each week to share life stories, aiming to combat social isolation and loneliness in a vulnerable population. 10:25 Story Rx Program and Partnerships Jennifer details the Story Rx program, a unique initiative where medical professionals can prescribe Life Story Club to patients. This program allows for powerful partnerships with leading healthcare institutions like Cleveland Clinic and Montefiore, leveraging medical data to track the program's effectiveness in improving patient well-being. 15:22 Facilitator's Impact and Wisdom The discussion highlights the profound impact facilitators have and the valuable insights they gain from older adults' stories. Facilitators, who are paid professionals, often share their own vulnerabilities, fostering deep connections and mutual support within the clubs, which also incorporate geographical and linguistic considerations. 22:34 Intergenerational Perspective and Progress Jennifer and Bill discuss how older adults' stories provide invaluable historical perspective, reminding younger generations of societal progress and the non-linear nature of change. These narratives offer optimism and a reminder that current challenges, while significant, have historical precedents that were overcome. 27:43 Data and Family Connection Jennifer shares the impressive data collected from Life Story Club participants, showing significant improvements in loneliness, belonging, and mood. The conversation also emphasizes how the club's story recording feature provides a precious gift to families, reconnecting them with their elders' unheard stories and fostering intergenerational connection. 35:20 Growth and Future Outlook Life Story Club is actively working on expanding its reach beyond New York, developing a working group for communities interested in replicating the model. They welcome partnerships with healthcare organizations and individual donors to meet the growing need for older adult support and enhance life for longer-living populations.

Seria o doktor Aphrze zakończyła się już jakiś czas temu, a my w ramach nadrabiania gwiezdnowojennych zaległości postanowiliśmy sięgnąć po serię „Sana Starros: Sprawy rodzinne”, która silnie jest z runem Wong o niepokornej archeolog związana. W wirtualnym studio spotkali się Mando, Rychu oraz Jerry aby podyskutować o tym na ile „Sprawy rodzinne” to komiks, po który można sięgnąć samodzielnie, a na ile to swoisty spin off („Doktor Aphry”) lub… sequel (do wątków z okresu Wielkiej Republiki)? Jak oceniamy mnogość nawiązań oraz wybuchowej akcji? Jak Justina Ireland ogrywa skomplikowane relacje rodzinne w klanie Starrosów? Dlaczego warto sięgnąć po ten album? O tym wszystkim i paru innych kwestiach posłuchacie w dzisiejszym odcinku.

On the Saturday February 7, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we’ll spend some time with JUNO-winning Canadian jazz vocalist, pianist, singer-songwriter, and CBC Music host (Saturday Night Jazz). She is Grammy nominated in the category of Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for her holiday album “Wintersongs” and joins me today top talk about the album and how the nomination changed her life. Then we’ll meet critically acclaimed Canadian author Lindsay Wong. Her bestselling, award-winning memoir “The Woo-Woo: How I Survived Ice Hockey, Drug Raids, Demons, and My Crazy Chinese Family,” a Canada Reads finalist and Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize winner, established her literary reputation for sharp wit, dark humor, and unflinching exploration of Chinese Canadian identity. Today we’ll talk about her highly anticipated debut adult novel, “Villain Hitting for Vicious Little Nobodies,” a wickedly funny, genre-bending blend of horror, dark comedy, and folk magic. Drawing on ancient Chinese traditions like corpse marriage and villain hitting, we’ll explain both of those in the interview, it follows a broke, ambitious young woman haunted by her powerful witch grandmother and an undead sister, delivering a subversive takedown of class struggle, the model minority myth, patriarchy, and the murderous cost of simply trying to survive. Praised as "extraordinarily imaginative and darkly hilarious" and a "chilling masterclass in fiction," this book cements Lindsay as one of the most provocative voices in contemporary literary horror.

In this episode Mike's sitting this one out – but don't worry, Wong is joined by his good friend Jody for a deep (deeper than we thought) dive into The Old Guard. Wong and Jody break down the action, the themes of immortality, and what works (and doesn't) in this Charlize Theron-led action flick. Same hot discussions, and of course the classic nitpicks - even when Mike's not around.
Veronica Wong shares about what she's learned from traveling the world.

Figure skating is one of the most popular sports at the Winter Olympics as it combines world-class athleticism with dance, choreography and music. Jackie Wong is one of the world's leading experts on figure skating and takes us behind the scenes of what it takes to be among the best in the world. From blade sharpening to music choice (the Back Street Boys will be the most popular band in Milan 2026!), figure skaters are defined by their ability to pull off daring manoeuvres with grace against the backdrop of judges watching for the smallest mistake.

In this week's episode of Mom Camp: Around the Campfire, I'm joined by Tami Wong, founder of Hair Loss Pride.Hair loss is something so many women experience, yet few of us talk about openly. It often shows up quietly, wrapped in shame, fear, and the belief that we're the only ones going through it.This chat was incredibly powerful—not just because of her story, but because of what she's built in response to it. In this episode, Tami shares her journey with alopecia, which began in her teens, and reflects on the years she spent hiding her hair loss and the impact that secrecy had on her confidence and sense of self.What moved me most was how Tami has transformed her lived experience into meaningful support for other women. Through one-on-one coaching, wig and topper consultations, and community gatherings, she is creating the kind of space so many women wish had existed when they were first navigating hair loss—a space rooted in empathy, education, and connection.We talk about the many forms of alopecia, hair loss related to postpartum changes and perimenopause, and the identity shifts that can come with it all. This episode is a powerful reminder that when one woman shares her story out loud, it creates room for others to feel seen, supported, and less alone.For the full show notes and Tami's bio, go to www.momcamplife.com/podcast.
Hank Wong, veteran law enforcement K9 handler turned DHS contractor, reveals shocking findings from government READY events that test bomb dog teams nationwide: NO team passes odor recognition tests 100% correctly on first attempt. The culprit? Over-reliance on single training kits and lack of exposure to varied manufacturers, packaging, and storage methods.Cameron and Hank break down the critical difference between discrimination (target vs. non-target) and generalization (recognizing target across variations), exposing how most handlers excel at one while failing the other. They discuss why dogs alert to "their version" of explosives but miss real-world threats, how training culture creates false confidence, and what event security teams must do differently.Key Topics:Why training on one kit creates operational gapsThe "chaos factor" science can't measureAction-on-find procedures for security vs. law enforcementHow to read your dog in low-odor scenariosWhy double-blind testing is essentialDiscrimination vs. generalization trainingEssential listening for event security K9 teams, handlers, and anyone responsible for explosive detection programs.Hank Wong Background: 20+ year LE K9 handler (Orlando area), worked dogs Recon, Gunner, Smash, and Keno. Now DHS contractor conducting READY events nationwide, bridging science and practitioner perspectives.________________________________________

Alvin Wong, a researcher from the University of Hong Kong, discusses the significant yet often underestimated impact of volcanic eruptions on global weather patterns and climate change. Highlighting studies from various volcanic events, including the 1982 El Chichon and the 2021-2022 Tonga eruptions, Wong explains how volcanic materials and geothermal heat released during eruptions can alter atmospheric and oceanic systems, leading to extreme weather phenomena like heavy rainfall and altered ocean circulation. Wong calls for a greater consideration of volcanic activity in climate models to improve weather prediction and understanding of climate variability.00:00 Introduction to Alvin Wong and Volcanic Eruptions04:13 Hong Kong Rainfall Records and Volcanic Eruptions29:22 Geothermal Heat from Volcanic Eruptions32:48 The 2021-2022 Hunga Tonga Eruption46:50 Global Impact of the Hunga Tonga Eruption01:02:04 Short-term and Long-term Effects of Volcanic Eruptions01:10:14 Volcanic Eruptions and Extreme Weather Events01:17:03 Future Research and Predictions01:24:17 Conclusion and Final Thoughtshttps://volcanostudygrouphk.wordpress.com/author/taipofo/========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Synopsis: In a powerful tribute to a fearless leader, friends and collaborators share stories of Alice Wong's unwavering commitment to centering disabled voices and challenging systemic inequality in all its forms.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: Alice Wong lived longer than she expected, but not long enough. The celebrated disability activist lived by the principle that disability justice is integral to all liberation movements, and centered disabled stories with the Disability Visibility Project. When Alice Wong died on November 14 at the age of 51, people across social movements shared their grief and awe for her work, such as her bestselling 2022 memoir, “Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life”. She has been called an oracle, visionary, unapologetic and fearless, and our guests, Wong's dear friends and collaborators, are committed to lifting up her legacy. Sandy Ho is the Executive Director of the Disability & Philanthropy Forum and partner with Alice Wong and Mia Mingus in the Access is Love campaign. She was asked by Alice Wong to post her letter after she passed, where Wong writes “. . . our wisdom is incisive and unflinching.” Steven Thrasher is an acclaimed journalist, professor and author of “The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll When Inequality & Disease Collide”. He was suspended from teaching classes after speaking out — as Wong also did — on Palestine. Join us as we celebrate Alice Wong and ask what is the work to be done when it comes to healthcare and civil rights for disabled people. Plus a commentary from Laura on imagining the next 100 years.“A lot of Alice's advocacy was focused around the systems that force disabled people to be at the margins . . . Whether it is the Black Lives Matter movement or the pandemic, we see the ways in which our society and political systems respond, and not in ways that prioritize those who are least privileged and have the least amount of power.” - Sandy Ho“I remember talking to [Alice Wong] about the ways she had been conditioned as a disabled Asian American woman to try to accept crumbs, to not complain, to be very docile. I thought that she was really brilliant in bridging together not just Asian American communities, but queer communities, LGBTQ communities, all the communities where your body is made to feel like it doesn't belong.” - Steven ThrasherGuests:• Sandy Ho: Executive Director, Disability & Philanthropy Forum• Steven Thrasher: Daniel Renberg Chair of Social Justice in Reporting, Northwestern University; Author, The Viral Underclass & The Overseer Class*Recommended books:“Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life” by Alice Wong, *Get the book“The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll When Inequality and Disease Collide” by Steven Thrasher, *Get the book(*Bookshop is an online bookstore with a mission to financially support local, independent bookstores.

How do we compare across languages, media, and histories, all without flattening differences? And what might Hong Kong teach us about doing comparison differently? Alvin K. Wong examines these and other questions in Unruly Comparison: Queerness, Hong Kong, and the Sinophone (Duke UP, 2025), a wide-ranging and thought-provoking study of queerness in Hong Kong. Bringing together Sinophone literature, independent and commercial cinema, documentary films, and visual art, the book asks how Hong Kong's queer productions might help us rethink the work of comparison itself. Rather than treating Hong Kong as a marginal or derivative space — a space defined by British colonialism, China-centrism, or global capitalism — this book approaches the city as a site of methodological possibilities. The key concept the book advances, “unruly comparison,” replacing neat equivalences and stable categories with incommensurability and transnational connections and linking Hong Kong to other places, times, and queer spaces across the Sinophone. Theoretically deft, the book is filled with a wide range of fascinating material, including work by filmmakers including Wong Kar-wai, Scud, and Fruit Chan; transnational and transgender visual cultures; documentaries about Southeast Asian domestic workers and queer intimacies; and poetry about language and precarity. This book will appeal to those interested in queer theory, Hong Kong studies, Sinophone studies, and comparative approaches. Listeners should also check out Alvin Wong's co-edited volume Keywords in Queer Sinophone Studies(Routledge, 2020) and the Society of Sinophone Studies webpage (of which Alvin is currently chair!).

Actor BD Wong rose to fame with the Tony Award-winning performance of Song Liling in the 1988 Broadway musical “M. Butterfly.” He went on to pick up more roles on stage and on screen, including a 14-year run portraying Dr. George Huang in the TV series “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.” Through all his successes and achievements, he's faced personal obstacles, as well as having to face the challenge of being a gay Asian actor in an industry where most of his peers didn't have his same background. In this episode of “Life In Seven Songs,” Wong details his journey as a boy growing up in the Sunset District nurturing his love of musical theater, to New York City as a young man where he lived in an apartment that was owned by the mafia. He talks about how the tragic loss of his baby made him a more confident public speaker, and how now, as an industry veteran, he's championing Asian representation in the entertainment industry. Here's his playlist: The Supremes, “Stop In The Name of Love” Charlie Rich, “Behind Closed Doors” Pacific Overtures OBC/Stephen Sondheim, “There Is No Other Way” Al Jarreau, “Boogie Down” Elton John, “The Greatest Discovery” Beyonce, “Love On Top” Dr. John, “Accentuate the Positive”

I thought that she was really brilliant in bridging together not just Asian American communities, but queer communities, LGBTQ communities, all the communities where your body is made to feel like it doesn't belong.” - Steven ThrasherGuests:• Sandy Ho: Executive Director, Disability & Philanthropy Forum• Steven Thrasher: Daniel Renberg Chair of Social Justice in Reporting, Northwestern University; Author, The Viral Underclass & The Overseer Class *Recommended books:“Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life” by Alice Wong, *Get the book“The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll When Inequality and Disease Collide” by Steven Thrasher, *Get the book(*Bookshop is an online bookstore with a mission to financially support local, independent bookstores.
