Picture this: the gods have come and gone, dynasties have risen and face-planted, cities have popped up and crumbled, tourists have come, posed, and posted a million thirst traps on Instagram… but the Sphinx is still just sitting there like, “Yeah, I'll wait.”Today we're heading to Giza to talk about the world's most famous stone cat with a people head: the Great Sphinx of Egypt. It's massive, it's mysterious, it's eroding faster than our faith in humanity, and it sits at the crossroads of legit science, wild speculation, and whatever the hell Edgar Cayce was doing.We're going to walk through what the Sphinx actually is, what we think we know about its history, how old it might be, why people keep insisting there's a secret Atlantean library under its paws, what modern tech like ground-penetrating radar and fancy satellite scans are actually showing under the Giza plateau, and why so many folks see Dr. Zahi Hawass as the final boss of “Nothing To See Here, Move Along.”Strap on the sunscreen, adjust your tinfoil nemes, and get ready for Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week's research sources:Main References Mentioned in the EpisodeLehner, Mark.The Complete Pyramids: Solving the Ancient Mysteries.London: Thames & Hudson, 1997.Hawass, Zahi.The Secrets of the Sphinx: Restoration Past and Present.Cairo: American University in Cairo Press, 1998.Jordan, Paul.Riddles of the Sphinx.New York: New York University Press, 1998.Gauri, K.

Cepiva poznamo predvsem kot terapijo, ki prepreči, da zbolimo. A novi imunoterapevtski pristopi cepiva danes uporabljajo tudi kot čisto prava zdravila. Eden najnaprednejših dosežkov tega področja so tako cepiva za zdravljenje najtežjih oblik raka, ko pri spopadanju s tumorji druge terapije niso uspešne. S pristopi tako imunoterapije kot personalizirane medicine je domačim znanstvenikom uspelo razviti zdravilo za na kastracijo odpornega raka prostate, ene najagresivnejših oblik tega tipa raka. Dosedanji rezultati tudi veliko obetajo - cepivo prepreči razraščanje rakavih celic in podaljša preživetje bolnikov. Za te uspehe je šestčlanska skupina 9. novembra prejela Puhovo nagrado za vrhunske dosežke.

Shamba Chowdhury got his first computer at an early age. He was the kid that explored every button and every setting, trying to figure out how it all worked. His curiosity exploded when he was 15 and the internet came around. Post that, his first foray into programming came from his love of playing video games. Outside of tech, he loves to read, in particular crime thrillers. He noted that his favorite is A Minute to Midnight by David Baldacci.Shamba and his co-founder have participated in many hackathons, and they noticed how difficult it was to stitch together ideas, utilizing AI technology. It was at that point they decided to build a no code builder to wire up AI agents together.This is the creation story of DeForge.SponsorsVentionCodeCrafters helps you become a better engineer by building real-world, production-grade projects.

Common college debt traps are avoidable! Emilie Chowdhury was lucky to learn smart money habits early on, but after nearly a decade in the corporate world, she realized most of my friends—brilliant, educated women—had never been taught how to manage their finances.

Hello, I'd really like to grow this email list. If you enjoy this newsletter, it would mean the world to Jola and I if you encouraged one friend/fellow immigrant/colleague to subscribe…Very likely, the the only thing you will get in return is warm fuzzy feelings, and if I can attribute it to you, I'd personally send you a thank you email.Join us as we explore the bitter-sweet world of the immigrant.In this episode, I'm speaking with Iqbal Chowdhury, a Research and Teaching Assistant at Dalhousie University, Canada, whose academic work on immigrant integration and mental well-being is deeply informed by his personal journey to Canada.When we talk about immigration, we often focus on the logistics or the challenges, such as finding a home or similar. Now these are important. But I think the the psychological journey of rebuilding your identity in a new country is probably more important.And Iqbal's research reveals how economic stability serves as the first steps towards cultural integration and belonging. You need economic security before you can truly engage with your new community. Iqbal explains the troubling phenomenon of the "healthy immigrant effect" and how it deteriorates over time as newcomers struggle to find suitable employment that match their qualifications. This disconnect between expectations and reality ends up affecting the immigrant's mental health and integration process.In this conversation, Iqbal and I chat about the stark contrast between our imagined and actual immigration experiences. We also explore:* The work we need to do as immigrants to accept our multiple identities* The importance of maintaining connections with one's cultural community while building new relationships* How language barriers create cascading challenges in professional and social settings* Finding the delicate balance between integrating into a new culture while honoring your heritage* Plus, Iqbal shares practical advice for prospective immigrants to better prepare mentally for the journey aheadOfficial Links

What's myth... and what's murder?After a bruising encounter with a terrorist group, Detective Kamil Rahman has decided to hand in his resignation to the Met and set up a detective agency with his friend Anjoli. But when his boss asks him to go to India to investigate the murder of a British engineer who was found with eighteen arrows stuck in his body, Kamil agrees to take the case, as long as Anjoli can accompany him.When they arrive in Mumbai, they find someone is on a gruesome killing spree, striking down those connected to the engineer in increasingly macabre ways. Meanwhile, an old friend of Kamil's gets in touch to beg for his help: he believes his family are cursed, and that he is going to die on his 47th birthday, just like his father and grandfather before him.As the body count rises, Kamil is torn between solving a very real murder case and protecting his friend from a grisly – if far-fetched – fate. Can he catch a killer and prevent an ancient curse before more people lose their lives?AJAY CHOWDHURY was the inaugural winner of the Harvill Secker–Bloody Scotland crime fiction award. He is a tech entrepreneur and theatre director who was born in India and now lives in London where he builds digital businesses, cooks experimental dishes for his wife and daughters and writes through the night.

Listen Now to 103 Future Now Show When creating our show, our guests are usually in their home environments, connected to us via Zoom or Facetime. But this week our mountaintop ‘fortress of solitude’ was visited by not one but three live guests in our studio at the same time! First up was a brief but wonderful check in by the Passionate Living TV folks, Catherine Miller and Rifat Chowdhury visiting from Buffalo, NY. They were here in California for a film festival and recording of future stories for their award-winning series on passionate lifestyles.  And author Annelise Schinzinger made it up the hill to chat with us about her new book documenting her pioneering experiences in South America with Ayahuasca, a psychoactive brew used by Amazonian tribes for spiritual and healing purposes. Annelise’s experiences go back to the 1970’s, way before Ayahuasca was known  in North America.  I was particularly fascinated by her understanding of “burracheira,” the field of consciousness created by those sharing an Ayahuasca experience. It is also worth noting that she was the Portugese translater for scientist Dennis McKenna in his field research while in Brazil. She takes us on a most fascinating and insightful journey into some of the deeper mysteries of life and death. Enjoy!

In this episode of The ClosersKlub, I had the pleasure of speaking with Solmon Chowdhury, a Bangladeshi immigrant who arrived in the U.S. in 1996 with zero dollars and went on to build a multi-million dollar real estate empire, selling over $27 million worth of properties in the Boston area. Solomon shares his inspiring journey, the mindset it took to go from nothing to wealth, and the exact framework he used to close high-level real estate deals with no money down. We break down his most recent 14-unit development project in Mattapan, where he and his 28-year-old partner secured a $3 million loan and are now on track to sell for over $6 million in profit. This is a must-listen for anyone looking to scale their real estate business, find creative financing solutions, and build generational wealth—even if you're starting from scratch.

We're joined by the US Science Envoy for AI, Dr.Rumman Chowdhury, who's a leading expert in responsible AI. We uncover the ethical, technical, and societal implications of artificial intelligence. As AI rapidly eats up the world, the question is what happens when it doesn't align with human values? How do we navigate the risks of bias, misinformation, and hallucination in AI systems? Dr. Chowdhury has been at the forefront of AI governance, red teaming, and AI risk mitigation. She has worked with global institutions, governments, and tech companies to make AI more accountable, safe, and equitable. From her time at Twitter's (now X) Machine Learning Ethics Transparency and Accountability team to founding Humane Intelligence, she has actively shaped policies that determine how AI interacts with human society. We dive deep into: - AI bias, disinformation, and manipulation: How AI models inherit human biases and what we can do about it. - Hallucinations in AI: Why generative AI models fabricate information and why it's not a bug but a feature. - AI governance and regulation: Why unchecked AI development is dangerous, and the urgent need for independent audits. - The risks of OpenAI, Meta, and big tech dominance: Who is really in control of AI, and how can we ensure fair oversight? - How companies should approach AI ethics: Practical strategies businesses can use to prevent harm while innovating responsibly. Key Takeaways from the Episode: 1. AI as a Tool, Not a Mind: Dr. Rumman Chowdhury debunks the myth that AI is alive or sentient. AI is a tool—just like a hammer—it can be used to build or destroy. The real issue isn't AI itself, but how humans choose to use it. 2. Why AI Hallucinations Are Unavoidable: Unlike traditional machine learning models, generative AI doesn't compute facts; it predicts what words statistically fit together. This means hallucinations—where AI completely fabricates information—are not a flaw, but an inherent feature of how these models work. 3. The Hidden Biases in AI Models: AI models are only as good as their training data, which often reflects human biases. Dr. Chowdhury discusses how AI systems unintentionally amplify biases in hiring, finance, and law enforcement, and what needs to be done to fix it. 4. The Illusion of AI Objectivity: Many assume AI models are neutral, but the truth is that all models are built with human input, which means they carry subjective biases. Dr. Chowdhury warns that the real danger is allowing a handful of tech elites to dictate how AI shapes global narratives. 5. The Need for AI Red Teaming & Auditing: Just like cybersecurity stress tests, AI models need independent stress tests to identify risks before they cause harm. Dr. Chowdhury shares her experience leading global AI red teaming exercises with scientists and governments to assess AI's real-world impact. 6. OpenAI and the Power Problem: Is OpenAI truly aligned with public interest? Dr. Chowdhury critiques how AI giants hold more power than entire nations and explains why AI must be treated as a public utility rather than a corporate monopoly. 7. Why AI Needs More Public Oversight: Most AI governance is self-imposed by the companies that build these models. Dr. Chowdhury calls for third-party, independent AI audits, similar to financial auditing, to ensure transparency and accountability in AI decision-making. 8.

DARK CIRCLES, 4min., USA Directed by Suswana Chowdhury“Dark Circles” is a surrealist short poetry film directed and produced by Suswana Chowdhury, and written by Jean-Sebastien Surena. Get to know the writer Jean-Sebastien Surena & director Suswana Chowdhury: What motivated you to make this film? Jean: Sometimes I write poems that I feel beg to be consumed in a different medium. This is a piece I've very seldom read out loud, and have never published anywhere. The moment it was written, I knew I wanted to visualize it in some way. I sat on it for a long time, as I don't like to rush into projects that extend to mediums I'm not as well versed in. But once I started collaborating with Suswana on other projects, and saw the care with which she handles my work, I knew it was only a matter of time until I'd finally be able to bring this work onto the screen. Suswana: After Jean and I made our first poetry film together, “Unbroken,” we were ready to make more. I've always been interested in creating interdisciplinary art as I grew up creating in all these separate mediums – theater, film, poetry, dance, photography – and I wanted to explore where and how these forms can intersect. “Dark Circles” was an opportunity to translate Jean's beautiful poetic language into cinematic language and push the visual and sonic artistry further than we did with our first project. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? Jean: My first thought upon hearing the feedback was “they get it.” Which was so important to me, because I know my words will always make more sense in my head than on paper. One of the challenges of a poet is conveying at least some of what you're thinking to a reader/listener. And I'm grateful to have had an audience that gets it, and was moved by not just the words, but the entirety of our presentation. Suswana: To be completely honest, I started tearing up after hearing the first person speak about the film. To know that the intentions of the project really came through and resonated with the audience made me feel like okay, I'm not crazy. Well, I am crazy, but it's good crazy.

Are today's policy challenges and market behaviour largely about post pandemic macro, or are they reflecting fiscal, monetary, and financial “dominance” that stem from two decades of interventions? Mustafa Chowdhury, a veteran of bond and credit market analysis, returns to Kopi Time to offer a nuanced but highly important perspective on the impact of policy distortion on market behaviour. Why did the long-end of the US yield curve sell-off after the September rate cut? Why haven't banks reduced their duration exposure despite the regional bank crisis last year? Why are long-term mortgage rates so high and why aren't short-term products available? And still, why is the housing market so strong? What about the perennial academic and policy debate on price levels versus differences, and how has that caused monetary policy errors? Given all this, what is the outlook for rates, FX, credit, and financial stability? This rich conversation offers excellent insights; a must listen for economists and market strategists.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Picture this: Your organization's data infrastructure resembles a busy kitchen with too many cooks. You're juggling Kafka for messaging, Flink for processing, Spark for analytics, Airflow for orchestration, and various Lambda functions scattered about. Each tool excellent at its job, but together they've created a complex feast of integration challenges. Your data teams are spending more time managing tools than extracting value from data. InfinyOn reimagines this chaos with a radically simple approach: a unified system for data streaming that runs everywhere. Unlike traditional solutions that struggle at the edge, InfinyOn gracefully handles data streams from IoT devices to cloud servers. And instead of cobbling together different tools, developers can build complete data pipelines using their preferred languages - be it Rust, Python, or SQL - with built-in state management. At the heart of InfinyOn is Fluvio, a Rust-based data streaming platform that's fast, reliable, and easy to use.

Reshmin Chowdhury is a sports broadcaster who's had a love of football since she was a little girl. Growing up in a large and close Bengali community, she told me her childhood memories are of being the only girl, surrounded by boys, watching football on TV. Reshmin's drive to break into the world of sports presenting was very strong - much to the surprise of her teacher Mum and accountant Dad - and she is proud to have made it, although she feels it shouldn't have been that hard. Her parents were very supportive of her dreams and we talked about how difficult it was losing her Dad 3 years ago, and that he was always the person she would pick up the phone to speak to after a big match. Reshmin shared how her children hold a mirror up to all her faults, including losing her temper. She says she's working on this and I've asked her, when she's solved that one, please share the answer with me too!

By Alfonzo Galvan | Sahan JournalOn a sunny weekend in August, Brittany Rosas homed in her food options near Minnehaha Falls.Several vendors were offering fruit slices with chamoy and tajin, fruit-flavored water and fried wheat pinwheels also known as chicharrones.As Rosas purchased a cup of lemonade for her two kids and a bag of chicharrones, another customer bought a cup of watermelon for $5 from a nearby vendor.The unlicensed vendors were clustered in the high-traffic area near Sea Salt Eatery — and they kept a wary eye out for park police. None wanted to speak on the record.The vendors began appearing at busy parks and highway medians more than a year ago. Efforts by park police and city officials to issue citations only led them to temporarily retreat. Many are asylum-seekers from Ecuador who don't yet have a permit to work legally in the U.S.The city first attempted to address the issue in 2023, according to Minneapolis Health Department spokesperson Scott Wasserman who said they worked with St. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church holding educational classes on how to become a licensed food vendor.But a year later the problem persists.Now two Minneapolis officials are trying another approach. Council Members Jason Chavez and Aurin Chowdhury are developing an ordinance with city staff that would create a license or permit for food vendors to continue selling while being in compliance with city code.“The reality is that right now, folks are not allowed to do it, and they're getting letters saying to stop doing what they're doing,” Chavez said. “And they're being given routes to get permitted, but the permits that exist wouldn't allow them to do what they're doing.”Chavez said unlicensed food vendors can create health risks if fruit and other food isn't properly prepared. He said he is also concerned about the potential of labor abuses or trafficking.“I think a permit can help prevent that, or at least be a part of preventing them from happening,” he said.Several city departments are currently weighing in. Chavez and Chowdhury met with city staff on Friday to determine the proposed ordinance's next steps.After the meeting Chowdhury said an added goal is to create a support system so vendors can access supplies — including carts that store food at the proper temperature — so they can become eligible for a license.In drafting their proposal, the duo said they have to adhere to state laws on food storage and refrigeration.“The hope is next spring, people have a place where they're able to sell and vend freely. They feel supported by our communities, by local government, and we're bringing more people into compliance,” Chowdhury said.For now, an option presented to some vendors in Minneapolis has been to register for the state cottage food producer permit, based on a 2015 state law that allows people to “make and sell certain non-potentially hazardous food and canned goods in Minnesota without a license.”But Chavez said that's a step in the wrong direction.“That isn't going to address the issue. And people might apply, but it isn't actually going to address the root issue that people are struggling with,” Chavez said.A cottage food producer permit could allow vendors to sell homemade baked goods and pickled fruits and vegetables, but it still wouldn't allow them to operate on city sidewalks or in traffic.The issue is one of “equity” according to Chowdhury, who said some vendors don't have the available knowledge or resources because they're still new to the country.Things like licensing or permit fees become barriers for new vendors trying to become compliant.“When it comes to folks that are immigrants, new to our community, that's an incredible barrier. So if we're going to do economic empowerment, that's the barrier that we want to help resolve and so I'm 100% supportive of waiving these fees,” she said.Claudia Lainez, the workers' center director at COPAL, said the nonprofit organization has been monitoring the growth of street vendors across the metro specifically because many of them are undocumented.She said the majority of vendors tend to be women because men, even undocumented, tend to struggle less to find employment. The women have the obstacle of finding child care and that's why street vending is appealing to them.She said access to information in Spanish is a key barrier for those who might want to comply with local rules. “We have had many cases where people ask ‘What can I do?' But no, this information is not accessible in Spanish,” Lainez said.Since the ordinance proposal is still in the early stages, Chavez said there are still many questions.One is whether to establish fixed locations for vendors. Another is how to limit the number of vendors in a given spot.Chavez said some licensed vendors have told his staff that they're losing business due to increased competition. And a major question the council members have addressed is accessibility to information since the vendors are mostly Spanish-speaking.They've said it's important to make the process simple and easy for future vendors, regardless of legal status.Even without documents like Social Security numbers, Chavez said there would be ways for vendors to apply, such as by using an ITIN, or individual taxpayer identification number, which undocumented individuals can use for tax purposes.The IRS website says even undocumented residents are required to file income taxes every year.Chavez said it's crucial to find a solution that protects public health but also acknowledges the pressures that are pushing recent immigrants to sell food in public spaces.“I'll just center the humanity aspect that these people are just trying to make a living,” he said. Many of the vendors are “literally just trying to pay their rent and pay for their life.”Pushback from licensed vendorsThe presence of the vendors has sparked concern and complaints, especially from licensed vendors.At a Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board meeting in early August, Michael Auciello, owner of Brooklyn Mike's Italian Ice cart, said he was tired of “illegal vendors” coming and opening fruit stands and cutting into his revenue. Auciello said he's seen about a 50 percent drop in revenue this year as unlicensed vendors pushed into city parks.“A lot of the food trucks out there and vendors have given up. They're selling their trucks. They don't want nothing to do with this baloney no more,” Auciello said.According to him, vendors have to buy a daily permit to operate at city parks, and some parks only allow up to two permits. The daily permits are $35 on weekdays and $100 on the weekends.But some days this summer the parks he's worked at have had up to five different vendors, even though the cap was two.He's complained to the Minneapolis Park Police and the Park Board with limited success.Chavez said Minneapolis police officers are no longer giving citations to unlicensed vendors.“They give them a paper with resources, because a lot of them also need more support beyond just being able to sell some food on the streets,” he said.Park Police spokeswoman Robin Smothers said they also haven't given out any citations to any unlicensed vendor but clarified that spotted vendors are not allowed to operate uninterrupted.Auciello said he's seen Park Police confront unlicensed vendors but not escort them away.“Dear God, I wish,” Auciello said. “I think it's not fair to the licensed vendors.”An ordinance passed by the city wouldn't automatically affect how parks operate, according to Chavez.“The Park Board has to make their own decisions on if they're going to allow people at their parks but at city streets we can make a program to allow some of these individuals to be able to sell fruit or whatever we decide with these permits,” Chavez said.The Minneapolis Park Board still has final say on who can sell on their property.Currently, only a mobile food vendor licensed with the City of Minneapolis can apply for a daily permit to operate at the parks.On Friday, Chowdhury said there's been ongoing talks with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board.“Our biggest goal right now with MPRB is to be proactive and build a really strong partnership and relationship, because at the end of the day, we want the same things. We want people in compliance and able to be entrepreneurs in our city,” she said.
