Podcasts about Zhong

This week on The Marathon Running Podcast, we tackle the most misunderstood phase of marathon training: the taper. Host [Insert Host Name Here] compares this final stage to the difference between cramming and consolidating for a major exam, sharing a personal story about how his own failed taper taught him the hard way that less is truly more. For solo runners like Letty, mastering the taper is especially crucial, as it's the final step to ensure your body is primed for an independent race. We dive into the science of supercompensation, explaining how resting unlocks your full physiological potential by rebuilding muscle, replenishing glycogen, and boosting your immune system.Whether you're battling the "taper crazies" or feeling anxious about the reduced mileage, this episode is a deep dive into the practical blueprint and mental strategies you need to arrive at the starting line feeling strong, confident, and ready for your best race. Trust the process, because the taper isn't about losing fitness—it's about unlocking it for that final, glorious solo effort.Here are our research citations:

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - UBC researchers found a new virus in farmed Pacific Oysters that perished during a mass die-off in 2023. During the die-off, researchers collected 33 dead oysters as well as 26 wild oysters from neighbouring sites. Pacific Oyster Nidovirus 1 (PONV1) was only found in 20 of the dead or dying farmed oysters. Dr Kevin Xu Zhong, a research associate in the UBC department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (EOAS), explained this does not mean the virus was the cause of death. “We found this new virus. There is no indication it is causing the mortality mentioned in the database, the study, or the reporting.” Cortes Currents:  What does the virus do to oysters? Dr Zhong:  “We don't know how this virus is working, or how it causes disease. What we can know right now is that we found this virus associated with the mass mortality for the oysters in the farm. That's what we know. There are many unknowns; many questions to address in the future.” Dr Zhong said there have recently been mass die-offs of Pacific Oysters in BC and other parts of the world, but the cause is often unknown. Pacific Oysters are the primary shellfish species grown in B.C. and brought in revenues of  $16 million in 2023.  Cortes Currents:  Where have you found Pacific Oyster Nidovirus in BC? Dr Zhong: “Fanny Bay and Deep Cove.”   Cortes Currents: I guess it's too early to ask whether Pacific Oyster Nidovirus 1 spreading? Dr Zhong: “Yes, we only analyzed the samples from two farms. As you said, it is very early to say. We found this virus in the BC area, but based on the genetic data available in the database, it can also be found in France and in China. You can trace it back about one decade.” Cortes Currents:  Have there been any indications that it would be harmful to human consumers of oysters? Dr Zhong: “Oh, no, no, no. Don't worry about that. This virus can only infect the Pacific Oyster and never humans or other animal species. There's no worry about that because viral infection is mostly host specific.”  Cortes Currents: Can you definitively say that it doesn't cause any harm to humans? Dr Zhong: “We also eat oysters, raw too. I don't think this will be a problem.”

【聊了什么】 在纽约市长民主党初选中，名不见经传的33岁州议员佐赫兰·马姆达尼（Zohran Mamdani）以惊人的胜利击败了前州长库默（Andrew Cuomo），震惊了美国政坛。马姆达尼是一位自我认同的“民主社会主义者”，他的崛起不仅可能让他成为这个全球金融中心的第一位社会主义者市长，也标志着美国进步派运动取得了历史性的胜利。 从讨论“餐车通胀”（Halalflation），到娴熟地运用各种新媒体策略，Mamdani如何在短短数月内从民调个位数迅速攀升，赢得了这场看似不可能的选战？他提出的冻结租金、全民学前班等政策，在纽约这个贫富差距巨大的城市中获得了怎样的回响？当进步派的理想主义遇上纽约错综复杂的政治现实，他又将面临怎样的挑战？ 本期节目中，我们与身在布鲁克林的嘉宾小钟一起，深入剖析的马姆达尼的崛起之路，探讨这场选举背后纽约市的阶级、种族和代际政治变迁。 更正： 播客中提到AOC赢得初选为8年前，实际上是7年前 播客中引用了《纽约时报》的分析，提到18-24岁是初选中比例最大的群体，但此数据在录制之后进行了更正，显示25-34岁的选民所占比例更高。 播客文字稿（付费会员专享）：https://theamericanroulette.com/zohran-mamdani-nyc-mayor-cuomo-transcript 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 06:17 精英家庭出身的“草根”候选人马姆达尼 11:00 马姆达尼与AOC的相似之处 15:20 “社会主义者”标签的背后 17:33 Mamdani如何靠社交媒体赢得选战？ 25:31 谁在支持Mamdani？ 28:43 对变革的渴望：为何选民抛弃建制派？ 33:38 前州长库默为何输掉选举？ 45:07 马姆达尼的政策蓝图与可行性分析 51:17 理想主义 vs. 政治现实：马姆达尼执政将面临的挑战 57:37 进步派市长的执政困境 01:08:18 马姆达尼如何应对反犹指控 01:17:49 民主党与进步主义的未来与挑战 01:25:22 11月市长选举展望 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 我们的主播和嘉宾： 王浩岚：美国政治爱好者，岚目公众号主笔兼消息二道贩子 小华：媒体人 小钟：布鲁克林居民 主播和嘉宾的言论不代表其所在机构或其雇主的观点。 【 What We Talked About】 In the New York City Democratic mayoral primary, a little-known 33-year-old State Assemblyman, Zohran Mamdani, defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo in a stunning upset victory, sending shockwaves through the American political establishment. Mamdani, a self-described 'democratic socialist,' whose rise not only positions him to potentially become the first socialist mayor of the global financial capital but also marks a historic victory for the American progressive movement. From discussing "Halalflation" to adeptly using a range of new media strategies, how did Mamdani, in just a few short months, surge from single digits in the polls to win a race that once seemed impossible? How did his proposals, such as a rent freeze and universal pre-K, resonate in a city marked by a vast wealth gap? And when progressive idealism meets the complex political realities of New York, what challenges lie ahead for him? In this episode, we're joined by our guest Zhong, who is based in Brooklyn, to do a deep dive into Mamdani's rise and discuss the shifting dynamics of class, race, and generational politics in New York City that this election has brought to the forefront. Corrections: In the episode, we mention that AOC's primary win was eight years ago. This was a slip of the tongue; it was actually seven years ago. The episode references a New York Times analysis indicating that the 18-24 age group was the largest demographic in the primary. This data was subsequently updated after our recording, showing that the 25-34 age group actually had a higher turnout.

The Doctrine of the Mean (Chinese: 中庸, Pinyin: Zhōngyōng, Korean: 중용, Japanese: 中庸, Vietnamese: Trung Dung) is also one of the Four Books (四書) of Confucianism. It consists of 33 chapters attributed to Zisi (子思), the only grandson of Confucius, with interspersed notes by Zhu Xi. Zhu Xi's master, Cheng Yi, says, "Being without inclination to either side is called Zhong; admitting of no change is called Yong. By Zhong is denoted the correct course to be pursued by all under heaven; by Yong is denoted the fixed principle regulating all under heaven. This work contains the law of the mind, which was handed down from one to another, in the Confucian school, till Zisi, fearing lest in the course of time errors should arise about it, committed it to writing, and delivered it to Mencius. The book first speaks of one principle; it next spreads this out, and embraces all things; finally, it returns and gathers them all up under the one principle. Unroll it, and it fills the universe; roll it up, and it retires and lies hid in mysteriousness. The relish of it is inexhaustible. The whole of it is solid learning. When the skillful reader has explored it with delight till he has apprehended it, he may carry it into practice all his life, and will find that it cannot be exhausted." Scottish translator James Legge was a Hong Kong missionary, Nonconformist pastor of the English Union Church, and the first professor of Chinese studies at Oxford University.

One of China's leading respiratory disease experts has called on authorities to step up prevention and treatment efforts for COVID-19 and influenza, warning that COVID infections remain at a high level across the country.我国著名呼吸疾病专家近日呼吁加强新冠与流感防控及诊疗工作，警示当前全国范围内新冠病毒感染仍处于较高流行水平。According to data from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the COVID-19 positivity rate among outpatient and emergency influenza-like illness cases nationwide rose from 7.5 percent to 16.2 percent between March 31 and May 4. Among hospitalized cases, the positivity rate increased from 3.3 percent to 6.3 percent over the same period.中国疾病预防控制中心监测数据显示，3月31日至5月4日期间，全国流感样病例门诊/急诊新冠阳性率从7.5%攀升至16.2%，住院病例阳性率同期由3.3%增至6.3%。Zhong Nanshan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said individuals who test positive—especially seniors with underlying health conditions—should begin taking medication within the first 48 hours of symptom onset to prevent serious illness.中国工程院院士钟南山强调，新冠检测阳性者——尤其是有基础疾病的老年患者——应在症状出现48小时内启动药物治疗，以预防重症发生。"Although the current outbreak of COVID-19 can be controlled, it still poses risks for people over age 65 with preexisting conditions," Zhong said at the opening ceremony of the 2025 Guangzhou Science and Technology Week on Saturday.“当前新冠疫情虽整体可控，但65岁以上基础疾病患者仍面临风险。”钟南山院士周六在2025广州科技周启动仪式上表示。"Residents should remain calm," he added, predicting that the latest wave of infections would decline after June.他预测本轮疫情将于六月后逐步回落，并呼吁“民众应保持冷静”。钟院士同时透露，其科研团队正着力研发专门针对5岁以下儿童的新冠病毒抗体及治疗方案。Zhong also said his team is working to develop COVID-19 antibodies and treatments specifically for children under age 5.钟南山院士同时透露，其团队正致力于研发专门针对5岁以下儿童的新冠抗体及治疗方案。"Research on COVID-19 drugs for this age group remains limited, and there's a lack of safety data," he said. "It is not scientifically sound to assume that drugs approved for older children are also suitable for those as young as 1."“针对该年龄段的药物研究仍存在空白，安全性数据尤为匮乏。简单套用大龄儿童获批药物的做法，对于小至1岁的幼儿而言缺乏科学依据。”He urged health authorities to prioritize prevention and treatment for both COVID-19 and influenza, and encouraged older adults to seek prompt care when symptoms arise.他敦促卫生部门强化新冠与流感的联防联控机制，建议老年群体出现症状后应及时就医。"Choosing the right medication is also important," he said, noting that two new influenza drugs have recently been launched in China.“选择合适的药物同样关键。”钟院士特别指出，国内近期已有两款新型流感药物上市。"China is not lagging behind foreign countries in developing influenza treatments and vaccines," Zhong added.“我国在流感治疗药物与疫苗研发领域已达到国际先进水平。”Li Tongzeng, chief physician at the infectious disease department of Beijing YouAn Hospital, said the proportion of severe COVID-19 cases has remained low over the past two to three years.北京佑安医院感染综合科主任医师李侗曾表示，过去两三年间新冠重症率持续处于低位。"Most patients recover on their own within a week," he said, though immunocompromised individuals, the elderly and those with chronic illnesses remain at risk of serious complications.“多数患者一周内可自行康复，但免疫功能低下者、老年群体及慢性病患者仍需警惕重症风险。”No new symptoms have been identified recently, Li said. Fever, sore throat, cough and muscle aches remain the most common, while a small number of patients may experience a loss of taste or smell.他指出，近期未发现新的临床症状，发热、咽痛、咳嗽及肌痛仍为主要症状，少数患者可能出现味觉或嗅觉异常。Like the influenza virus, he said, COVID-19 continues to mutate.李侗曾强调，与流感病毒类似，新冠病毒仍在持续变异。"The greater the difference between the original strain and the current circulating variant, the less protection the body's antibodies can provide," Li said.他表示：“当前流行变异株与原始毒株的基因差异越大，人体抗体提供的免疫保护效力就越有限。”He noted that new variants are gradually replacing older ones, and population immunity wanes over time, contributing to several sporadic outbreaks this year.他解释称，新型变异株正逐步取代旧有病毒株，加之群体免疫水平随时间推移逐步衰减，共同导致了今年多轮散发疫情的出现。"This suggests that, compared with seasonal or climate factors, the spread of COVID-19 may depend more on how the virus evolves and the level of immunity in the population," he said.“这说明相较于季节性或气候因素，新冠疫情传播态势更取决于病毒进化方向及人群免疫屏障的强弱程度。”李侗曾认为，这一演变特征提示疫情防控需建立更动态化的应对机制。 respiratory disease呼吸道疾病influenza/ˌɪnfluˈenzə/n. 流感; 流行性感冒mutate/mjuːˈteɪt/v. 变异; (使)突变variant/ˈveəriənt/n. 变种; 变体vaccines/ˈvæksiːnz/n. 疫苗

A recent study suggests that long-term yogurt consumption, which typically contains a genus of probiotic Bifidobacterium, is associated with a 20% decreased incidence of colorectal cancer. Listen in this week as Dee explains how Bifidobacterium works in the gut, why it may protect against the formation of tumors, and how much yogurt you need to eat each week to get the same amount reported in the study.References:Ugai, S., Liu, L., Kosumi, K., Kawamura, H., Hamada, T., Mima, K., Arima, K., Okadome, K., Yao, Q., Matsuda, K., Zhong, Y., Mizuno, H., Chan, A.

JingJing Zhong, the Co-founder and CEO of Superbench and Jeremy Au discussed: AI Impact on Service Businesses: JingJing explained how AI advancements have transformed traditional service industries. Previously, AI struggled with logic and calculations, making it unreliable for tasks like generating service quotes. Now, improved reasoning allows AI to think through multi-step processes, reducing human workload and increasing efficiency. Superbench helps businesses like cleaning and plumbing services scale without needing more employees. She shared how her former company, Helpling, reduced its sales team from five agents to one while increasing conversion rates from 30% to 70%. CRM vs. RAG Reality: JingJing pointed out that traditional CRM systems don't integrate well with AI-driven customer support. She introduced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) as a way to improve AI accuracy by linking responses to verified business knowledge before generating answers. Many AI chatbots still struggle with anything beyond FAQs and simple transactions, particularly in handling complaints. She predicts AI will advance even faster in the next two years, further reshaping service industries. Customers now assume AI agents are human because AI responses feel more natural than scripted templates used by actual employees. Founder Productivity Lifestyle: JingJing reflected on how managing stress as a founder led her to restructure her daily habits. She quit alcohol, shifted to a healthier diet with more vegetarian meals, and committed to consistent journaling. She noted that these changes had a direct impact on her business performance, saying that after quitting alcohol, her sales "went crazy." She emphasized the importance of therapy for founders, citing YC President Gary Tan's advice: “Do therapy before you start a company.” She believes founders should address their fears and anxieties early to avoid making poor decisions under pressure. Jeremy and JingJing also talked about startup fraud cases like eFishery, the effects of investor ghosting in Southeast Asia, and cultural differences in venture capital practices between the U.S. and Southeast Asia.

Newt talks with Dr. Weifeng Zhong, about the significant cybersecurity breach involving the US Treasury Department, where a hacker accessed security keys to override protocols and access unclassified documents. The US Treasury has since placed sanctions on a Beijing-based cybersecurity company for its alleged involvement in multiple hacking incidents targeting critical US infrastructure. Dr. Zhong provides insights into the broader implications of Chinese state-sponsored hacking activities, including the notorious Salt Typhoon group, which has infiltrated major US telecommunications companies. They discuss the historical context of Chinese cyber espionage, the sophisticated methods employed, and the challenges in countering these threats. Additionally, their discussion touches on the controversial role of TikTok in data collection and propaganda, and the strategic considerations for the US in addressing these multifaceted cyber threats.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jingjing Zhong, CEO & Cofounder of Superbench, and Jeremy Au talked about three main themes: 1. UC Berkeley to Investment Banking: Jingjing reflected on her time at UC Berkeley where the competitive environment introduced her to the high-stakes world of investment banking. She shared her initial motivation for joining Houlihan Lokey, which was to make money (influenced by societal expectations from her upbringing in China). Her experience in the financial sector led to a significant reevaluation of her definition of success and steered her away from banking despite its financial allure. 2. General Manager Firefighting: Jingjing's entrance to high-growth startup Helpling and eventual promotion to General Manager brought immediate challenges of operational management without initial support (a sharp contrast with the structured world of finance). She navigated intense periods of firefighting and strategic planning and learned to balance immediate problem-solving with long-term strategic thinking. Her experiences emphasized the importance of adapting to market and consumer trends and the transformative impact of effective coaching on her leadership skills. 3. Superbench Services AI Founder: Jingjing leveraged her experiences to cofound Superbench, an AI-driven platform aimed at optimizing operations for home service businesses. She detailed the transition from manual operations to AI-enhanced processes, which significantly improved sales conversions and operational efficiency. She discusses the nuanced applications of AI, where it complements human effort rather than replacing it, along with the practical benefits and challenges of integrating advanced technologies in traditional SME clients. Jeremy and Jingjing also talked about Jingjing's cultural adjustments when she moved from USA to Singapore, the critical role of mentorship, and the role of data in strategic decision-making within service businesses.

Every database has to juggle the need to process new data and to query old data. That task falls to any system that “does stuff and remembers stuff”. But it's quite hard to really optimise one system for both use cases. There are different constraints on new and old data, and as a system gets larger and larger, those differences multiply to breaking point. That's something Twitter's engineers were figuring out in the 2010s.One solution that came up in those years was the Lambda Architecture. A two-pronged approach that recognises the divide between new and old data, and works hard to blend the two together seamlessly in userspace. But that seamless blending is easier said than done. It's nearly all bespoke work.What if you could get it off the shelf? Let someone else do the work of combining two different kinds of database into one neat package? That's the question of the week as we look at the recently open-sourced project Proton, and its attempt to be the Lambda Architecture in a box…–Proton Docs: https://docs.timeplus.com/protonProton Source: https://github.com/timeplus-io/protonTimeplus: https://www.timeplus.com/Kris on Mastodon: http://mastodon.social/@krisajenkinsKris on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/krisjenkins/Kris on Twitter: https://twitter.com/krisajenkins–#podcast #softwareengineering #databases #dataengineering

04th April: Crypto & Coffee at 8❗ Franklin Templeton & Bitcoin Ordinals ❗ Ethereum ETF update

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Earthquake Update 10:00AM More damage is being reported after a magnitude 7.2 earthquake and aftershocks struck earlier this morning. Reports indicate that two buildings in Hualien City have suffered damage and are tilting to one side, with 8 people trapped in one building at the intersection of Zhong-shan Rd. and Chong-qing Rd. Emergency workers are on the scene, and ladder trucks have been dispatched to reach those inside. The Ministry of National Defense has also dispatched military personnel to assist with the rescue. Meanwhile… The Hualien County government has announced a suspension of work and classes, as aftershocks may continue throughout the day. New Taipei is continuing work and classes as normal. The New Taipei Metro Corporation says it is investigating reports that a portion of the track between Tou-qien-zhuang Station and Xing-pu Ming-shen station have cracked, but so far, the reports have not been confirmed. The Taiwan High Speed Rail Corporation says all HSR lines have paused service, and so far 21 train trips have reportedly been affected. Otherwise, the THSRC says there have been no reports of passengers injured or cars damaged. The Taiwan Railways Administration is also pausing services on parts of its eastern trunk line. The Taoyuan Metro has also reported a suspension in services of at least one hour. Taiex open to other news now and… The Taiwan Stock Exchange's main index opened down 77.73 points at 20,388.84 Wednesday on turnover of NT$5.98 billion (US$187 million). Taiwan's main board had closed Tuesday's trading at a new high on the back of strong buying led by contract chipmaker TSMC, this was in turn led by a 4 percent surge in the company's American depositary receipts.. The Taiex's record run came after a stock market-related social media influencer in Taiwan has issued an apology for spreading fake news about American investment guru Warren Buffet's supposed repurchase (回購) of TSMC shares. North Korea tests another missile In international news: North Korea said Wednesday it tested another new hypersonic intermediate-range missile powered with solid propellants. This, as it continues to expand its nuclear and missile program in the face of deepening tensions with neighbors and the United States. The report by North Korean state media came a day after the South Korean and Japanese militaries detected the North launching the missile from an inland (內地) area around its capital toward its eastern sea. The test was supervised by authoritarian leader Kim Jong Un, who described the missile – named Hwasong-16B – as a key piece of his nuclear war deterrent he vowed to further build up to counter his “enemies”… that was a reference to the United States, South Korea and Japan.

Dad and Josh are joined by Anne Marie for New Year's Eve wines. Josh's Champagne was Pierre Gimonnet Blanc de Blanc.  Josh brings popcorn with two different sauces. One sauce was a Sichuan Chili crisp and the other was Zhong sauce.  Both were made by Fly By Jing.  He also brings Duckham, and Porchetta di Parma. Dad brings the J. Lassalle Premier Cru Champaign.  His sides were planned to match a New Year's Eve or Christmas meal.  He brings Prime Rib, steamed Broccoli and a simple baked potato.  Marie brings Chandon Brut sparkling wine.  For her sides she brings an amazing cheese, garlic bread,  cheese mushroom caps and Ferrero Rocher chocolate cups.  She tells about her special connection with Chandon wines on three continents.  They have a great time sipping and snacking! Dad again gets all "heated up" and has to figure out how to put the fire out.

This is combined with a great sense of humour and so this talk should be both enlightening and entertaining.
