Kemi Badenoch is the new leader of the opposition, and we have an early indication of who will make up her shadow cabinet. She has already chosen her chief whip in loyalist Rebecca Harris; Nigel Huddleston and Dominic Johnson will be party chairman; Laura Trott will be shadow education secretary; Neil O'Brien will be shadow minister for education – crucially, a Jenrick backer. Is she going for party unity? Who will take the top jobs in team Badenoch? Also on the podcast, it's anything-but-the-budget-week for Labour, who are trying to move the agenda along from last week's fiscal event with a raft of announcements. Today, the prime minister unveiled his plan to ‘smash the gangs' and announced that university tuition fees would rise. But can they justify the increase to students?  Oscar Edmondson speaks to Katy Balls and Isabel Hardman. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

Forbes India Daily Tech Brief Podcast
Apple's Vision Pro is in US stores, but a see-through glass isn't on the horizon yet

Apple's Vision Pro headsets are now available for sale at stores in the US, but first a couple of other headlines that caught my attention. A UK minister on a trade mission last year assured Infosys that he would do what he could to help the company grow in the country, where founder NR Narayana Murthy's son-in-law Rishi Sunak is prime minister, The Mirror reported. The paper obtained details of the April 2023 visit of Dominic Johnson, a minister in PM Sunak's cabinet, using Britain's freedom of information laws. Sunak has faced intense scrutiny over his wife Akshata Murty's ownership of close to 1 percent of Infosys.  Freshworks, a Chennai-to-Silicon Valley software company, will report its fiscal fourth quarter and full year earnings results tomorrow, according to the investor page on the company's website. The Nasdaq-listed provider of cloud software for customer engagement and IT services management expects to end the year with revenue of about $595 million, a growth of about 20 percent. Analysts will also be watching Freshworks's net dollar retention, an important SaaS metric, that the company has projected at 105 percent. One thing today Apple, on Feb. 2 announced that its Vision Pro AR headsets were available for sale in stores in the US. Apple calls the headset a spatial computer, which works by tracking natural hand gestures and movement of your eyes. Last year, after Apple unveiled this, I'd spoken with Milind Manoj, an AR expert and founder and CEO of a company called PupilMesh here in Bangalore. I thought a quick recap of the features of the Vision Pro from that conversation might be interesting, so here goes. The first takeaway was that, like with any other Apple product, there's a lot that's gone into the design and specs. Especially given that they have a dedicated processor, the R1 chip, that helps to make functions like the display rendering seem like near real time although it's a pass-through headset, is remarkable. In a pass-through headset, one is not really seeing the world around directly, but through the cameras on the headset, and then being streamed to the display. This is an interesting, and important, question according to Milind, because the user is seeing what the device sees. Therefore, the question is if you'd be okay with a device controlling what you are actually seeing because you are essentially blocking out one of your senses and relying on cameras – this might be okay or not, depending on what you're using the device for. This is the biggest difference versus what are called optical see-through headsets which don't block off your vision. These kinds of headsets will become increasingly important as the sophistication of AR applications that overlay digital information on top of the real world that we can see and touch and feel increases – think of applications like surgery, for example, where precision is critical and therefore what you're seeing through the headset has to be accurate. The original Apple Glass project probably had such ambitions, where one could see through. Apple must surely be continuing to work on that technology, but we don't know anything about a commercial product. The second takeaway from my chat with Milind was that unlike other Apple products so far, the Vision Pro still feels a little bit experimental, especially because it has a waist-mounted external battery pack that connects to the headset via a cable. This is obviously the best trade off that Apple's engineers could think of with respect to the design and how long people could use the headset at one go, but it does make the Vision Pro a somewhat inelegant gadget in my view – you may be perfectly fine with an outside battery pack. The headset costs about $3,500 and its success will depend on the applications that developers come up for it. It's unlikely to be in India any time soon, but Apple will probably show off the headset at its own stores in Mumbai and Delhi – just to pique your curiosity.

The 22-year-old man who killed his 16-year-old classmate and burned his car in 2016 has been sentenced to 99 years in prison. According to the Alaska Department of Law, a judge sentenced Erick Almandinger to 79 years in prison for first-degree murder, five years in prison for first-degree assault, 10 years in prison for kidnapping, five years in prison for tampering with evidence, $2,500 in fines for arson and first-degree vehicle theft. A statement alleges that Almandinger pistol-whipped David Grunwald near Almandinger's home on Nov. 13, 2016. Grunwald's car was driven for about 30 minutes by Almandinger, then he walked for about 30 minutes into the woods before killing him. It took investigators almost three weeks to discover Grunwald's body, and his burned car was found near the Talkeetna Mountains, a distance away from where he was murdered. According to the statement, Grunwald was tortured emotionally, and Palmer Superior Court Judge Gregory Heath found Almandinger's crimes "truly horrendous and committed without apparent reason." In May 2018, Almandinger was found guilty and sentenced to four years in prison. Almandinger is the third of four defendants sentenced for his role in Grunwald's death, according to the Alaska Department of Law. For first-degree murder, Dominic Johnson was sentenced to 99 years, Austin Barrett was sentenced to 45 years, and Bradley Renfro is awaiting sentencing.

What could your organisation achieve if its technical specialists were given the same intensity of skills development as people managers? * Organisations spend so much money hiring techincal experts and individual contributors - then they ignore them once they're hired. * As a result, senior individual contributors lack the business skills they need to drive innovation and change at a senior level. They have great ideas but can't quite get the company to get behind their innovation As a result: * The money invested in technical teams doesn't quite pay off. * Technical experts end up overworked, resentful and demotivated - and quit. * The business loses any number of opportunities to create value. What steps can businesses and CEOs take to help experts achieve their full potential? What effort is required, and what benefits should they expect?

When Dominic Johnson-Hill traveled the world in the early 90s, China was just supposed to be a stop along the way. But then he ran out of money. So he learned the language, started a market research business, then Beijing's first t-shirt brand, http://plasteredtshirts.com/ (Plastered). Since then, Johnson-Hill, has become a celebrity in China and is now the host of the 24-episode documentary series, Seasons of China.

I wanted to tell my story, or more like try to make sense of what my story was, or what I thought it was.’ Franko B Franko B is an extraordinary, internationally acclaimed artist who has been making drawings, installations, sculptures, and performances for over 30 years. Because of Love tells the story of his childhood in Italy in an orphanage and at the hands of his abusive family, his journey to London as a young man, his return to Italy many years later as an accomplished artist, and, in between, the story of his life and loves and his becoming an artist. The evening featured contributions from Franko B, Marcia Farquhar, Anna Thew and Dominic Johnson. “Franko B’s was a painful, unavoidably compromised childhood - a tale in which the calm and quiet features of a family have fled, and he is dropped into a future that he had to forge for himself. Stolen from a conventional destiny, his body rises to become a glorious body - a body of art. It is also an eternal body, since there is a bond between the physical body and the art body. This is the condition of his freedom”. Francesca Alfano Miglietti (FAM), curator, writer, art historian “It’s a truly bewildering journey, brutal at times both as life and as punk literature – a back and forth from orphanage to abusive family home, to squat, to rave, club scene, AIDS activism, political protest and art practice – a trail that manages to be alien and yet somehow entirely recognisable”. Tim Etchells, artist “Franko B has the capability of showing us extreme strength and fragility at the same time. This can touch our heart at a very profound level”. Marina Abramovic, artist “Franko B is the kindest and gentlest of men —his work, however, is utterly unnerving. This book provides important clues to understanding the gap between the two, and why we should pay attention”. RoseLee Goldberg, curator, writer, art historian Because of Love is edited by Lois Keidan and Megan Vaughan, with a preface by Tim Etchells, designed by David Caines, illustrated by Giuditta Fullone, and published by Live Art Development Agency, 2018 Special launch price only £10.

Christian philosopher Peter S Williams interacts with Dominic on questions over whether his research explains away religious belief, and whether Christianity is a religion of punishment and rewards.

RON ATHEY presents PLEADING IN THE BLOOD

Pleading in the Blood: The Art and Performances of Ron Athey (Intellect Books) Ron Athey is a central figure in the development of performance art since the early 1990s, and this is the first book devoted to his practice. Pleading in the Blood (ed. by Dominic Johnson) foregrounds the prescience of Atheyʼs work, exploring how his visceral practice foresaw and precipitated the central place afforded sexuality, identity, and the body in art and critical theory in the late twentieth century. This landmark publication includes Atheyʼs own writings, and commissioned essays by maverick artists and leading academics. It showcases full-colour images of Atheyʼs art and performances since the early 1980s, including extensive documentation of solo performances and ensemble productions, and his photographic collaborations with other visual artists. Pleading in the Blood also includes three newly commissioned essays on different aspects of Atheyʼs work by Adrian Heathfield, Amelia Jones, and Dominic Johnson. These scholarly essays are complemented by shorter texts byHomi K. Bhabha, Jennifer Doyle, Tim Etchells, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Matthew Goulish, Lydia Lunch, Juliana Snapper, Julie Tolentino, Alex Binnie, Catherine (Saalfield) Gund, Bruce LaBruce and Catherine Opie, along with a hand-written text from Robert Wilson. Including new pieces and hard-to-find archival texts. The publication is lavishly illustrated with full-colour images by photographers including Catherine Opie, Manuel Vason, Elyse Regher, Slava Mogutin, Dona Ann McAdams, Bruce LaBruce, Rick Castro, Sheree Rose, Edward Colver, Jennifer Precious Finch, and others, and includes a foreword to the publication written by Antony Hegarty of Antony and the Johnsons. Praise for Pleading in the Blood: "At long last, Dominic Johnsonʼs book begins the dauntingly exhilarating task of assessing the richly provocative art of Ron Athey. Incorporating Atheyʼs own prose version of his extraordinary childhood, astute critical essays, and moving appreciations from other artists, Pleading in the Blood advances Performance Studies and Art History by forging a mode of commentary expansive enough to address an artist who consistently works to expand the intricate drama of human embodiment. Atheyʼs art refuses the usual distinctions between pleasure and pain, or faith and doubt, and has been both blamed and celebrated for its radical inquiries into the limits and possibilities of queer bodies. Athey emerges from these pages as one of the most compelling theatre artists of our time."--Peggy Phelan, Standford University Ron Athey is an iconic figure in the development of contemporary art and performance. In his frequently bloody portrayals of life, death, crisis, and fortitude in the time of AIDS, Athey calls into question the limits of artistic practice. These limits enable Athey to explore key themes including: gender, sexuality, SM and radical sex, queer activism, post-punk and industrial culture, tattooing and body modification, ritual, and religion.
