For the second time this season, it's time to drop those Buffs®! Jeff is once again joined by Jeremy and Jay to discuss the latest episode of Survivor 49, beginning with the second tribe swap, and how immediately following that moment, Kristina fell to her knees and medical rushed in. Jeff explains why this situation is very different than what happened previously this season with Jake. Jeff then takes Jeremy and Jay through a birds-eye view of the Survivor base camp, including the full extent of the Survivor medical team, and explains what exactly is going on as the season is close to reaching its midpoint. Next, we saw a brand new reward challenge. Jeff details how the challenge team must prep months in advance to work new challenges into the rotation, but why ultimately, it's a huge part of what keeps Survivor evolving. And Jeff explains how that one particular spot could very well be the hottest spot in all of Fiji. Later, Nate's world is turned upside down on his new tribe. Jeremy explains how best to start trying to find any crack in a new tribe. Plus, the return of the K.I.P and Jeremy's suggestion to old era players as to how to handle an advantage in the new era game. Finally, they answer your questions, including whether you should ever tell another tribemate if they have mud stuck on their face.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The show stumbles open to a heated discussion on Schatz's readiness to add Anika Nilles' solo works to the 911 wheel for exploration. Putting aside that she has a back catalogue that would quickly have her dominate the wheel, we explore the vein that dislodged itself from Schatz's forehead at the thought of putting a newbie on the wheel with Lersxt and Dirk. No Wheel Spin Rather than spin the wheel, we listen to a couple of album opening tracks from Anika's solo catalog - Fiji, off 2025's False Truth, and Wild Boy off her 2014 Eponymous EP. There's no voting either, but we get to hear for ourselves what all the fuss is about.

The Tragic Wreck of the Whaleship Oeno (1825) – Stranded and Surviving among Pacific Islanders. In 1825, the American whaleship Oeno, under Captain Samuel Riddell, wrecked on a remote Pacific coral reef between Tonga and Fiji. What began as a routine whaling voyage from Nantucket turned into a desperate struggle for survival on a small island—where only sailor William S. Cary lived to tell the harrowing tale of shipwreck, massacre, and unexpected mercy.Bounty Mutinyhttps://youtu.be/k4mrZdNWgGs?si=OnUquZ01jbENFCGEStory of La Perousehttps://youtu.be/8xwaLzcPryg?si=QnFl6b_twMZvDEzZ——MY BOOKS1 സ്വർണ്ണനഗരം തേടി: ആമസോണ്‍ കണ്ടെത്തിയ കഥ (Mathrubhumi Books)Hard Copy | https://amzn.to/3T5lTioEbook | https://amzn.to/44eYMqW2 മഡഗാസ്കർ (Regal Publishers)Hard Copy | https://amzn.to/3ZN8sr73 സിംഹത്തിന്റെ ശത്രു!: അറ്റ്ലസ് സിംഹങ്ങളുടെ കഥ!Ebook | https://amzn.to/3G8ZdLj——————————Contact meMessage : https://juliusmanuel.com/chatMail : mail@juliusmanuel.com---------------Instagramhttps://instagram.com/juliusmanuel_-------Websitehttps://juliusmanuel.com/ChannelsInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/channel/AbbAIzWxF6R6qz7O/Whatsuphttps://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va4U8tZInlqO0BLvpg2V

A view Australia's recent military alliance with Papua New Guinea could be the springboard for a wider 'Pacific Eyes' alliance. Australian think-tank Lowy Institute's proposing an intelligence sharing agreement between us, Australia, PNG and Fiji to counter China's influence in the region. It claims it'd also help tackle trans-national crime and climate-related disasters. Former Defence Minister Wayne Mapp says it would be a tough deal to negotiate, but it's feasible. He says Australia's alliance is about sharing more intelligence and cooperating more, like this proposed deal. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is brought to you by Villa Carina Apartments in beautiful Bonaire. In this episode, we catch up with Kiran Verma, a passionate pro wing foiler and content creator from Australia's Sunshine Coast. Joining Luc from across the globe, Kiran shares his inspiring journey into the sport at age 37, his recent switch to North gear, and the highs of pushing limits in a rapidly evolving industry. From mastering foil slides to dissecting his favorite setups, Kiran offers an honest look at what it takes to progress, the joy of community connections, and the transformative power of foiling at any age.Journey into Foiling: Kiran reflects on starting wing foiling later in life, now at 41, and how it changed everything—from traveling to places like Cape Verde, Fiji, Mauritius, Brazil, and Chile, to embracing rejection and training harder. He emphasizes the mental freedom of pursuing passion without caring about judgments, and how foiling has brought happiness despite life's demands.Switching to North Gear: Kiran details his transition to North after positive experiences with their foils, highlighting the SF-530 for tight turns and the SF-680 for versatile light-wind performance. He praises the brand's receptiveness, community support (like backing Max Robinson and We Can Foil), and gear like the 55L Swell board, while sharing how video analysis helped refine his riding.Gear Breakdown and Tips: Diving into his go-to setup—a 680 front wing, 145 stabilizer, 60cm fuse, and 85cm mast—Kiran explains why he sticks to minimal changes for consistency. He discusses foil slides inspired by riders like Cash Berzolla, the appeal of short boards for prone foiling, and why foiling appeals to the 40-70 age group with its technical, accessible nature.Community and Growth: The duo explores the sport's potential to go mainstream, comparing it to golf for its niche appeal and inclusivity. Kiran stresses the need for more entry-level programs to grow foiling beyond the elite, the role of small brands in innovation, and how sessions clear the mind like nothing else.Future Plans: Kiran teases upcoming trips, possibly to Morocco for right-handers or Cape Town for King of the Air, plus content on learning new tricks like one-hand grabs. He hints at deeper involvement with North's R&D and a desire to see foiling explode in popularity.Follow Kiran - https://www.instagram.com/kv_foil/

pWotD Episode 3093: Diwali Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 407,031 views on Monday, 20 October 2025 our article of the day is Diwali.Dipavali (IAST: Dīpāvalī), commonly known as Diwali (English: ), is the Hindu festival of lights, with variations celebrated in other Indian religions such as Jainism and Sikhism. It symbolises the spiritual victory of Dharma over Adharma, light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Diwali is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar months of Ashvin (according to the amanta tradition) and Kārtika – between around mid-September and mid-November. The celebrations generally last five or six days.Diwali is connected to various religious events, deities and personalities, such as being the day Rama returned to his kingdom in Ayodhya with his wife Sita and his brother Lakshmana after defeating the demon king Ravana. It is also widely associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, and Ganesha, the god of wisdom and the remover of obstacles. Other regional traditions connect the holiday to Vishnu, Krishna, Durga, Shiva, Kali, Hanuman, Kubera, Yama, Yami, Dhanvantari, or Vishvakarman.Primarily a Hindu festival, variations of Diwali are also celebrated by adherents of other faiths. The Jains observe their own Diwali which marks the final liberation of Mahavira. The Sikhs celebrate Bandi Chhor Divas to mark the release of Guru Hargobind from a Mughal prison. Newar Buddhists, unlike other Buddhists, celebrate Diwali by worshipping Lakshmi, while the Hindus of Eastern India and Bangladesh generally, celebrate Diwali by worshipping the goddess Kali.During the festival, the celebrants illuminate their homes, temples and workspaces with diyas (oil lamps), candles and lanterns. Hindus, in particular, have a ritual oil bath at dawn on each day of the festival. Diwali is also marked with fireworks as well as the decoration of floors with rangoli designs and other parts of the house with jhalars. Food is a major focus with families partaking in feasts and sharing mithai. The festival is an annual homecoming and bonding period not only for families, but also for communities and associations, particularly those in urban areas, which will organise activities, events, and gatherings. Many towns organise community parades and fairs with parades or music and dance performances in parks. Some Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs will send Diwali greeting cards to family near and far during the festive season, occasionally with boxes of Indian confectionery. Another aspect of the festival is remembering the ancestors.Diwali is also a major cultural event for the Hindu, Sikh, and Jain diaspora. The main day of the festival of Diwali (the day of Lakshmi Puja) is an official holiday in Fiji, Guyana, India, Malaysia, Mauritius, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago, and is symbolically recognized by some US state governments.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:24 UTC on Tuesday, 21 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Diwali on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Brian.

S2 | E2 — RED FLAGS ON THE HORIZON A uniform, a hangar, and a promise that sounds almost too ambitious to be true.As Sarah continues to investigate IntSAR – the International Sea Air Rescue Service and its self-described leader Admiral Peter Cowell, two retired detectives share their first-hand encounter — a meeting that left more questions than answers. From Bathurst to Fiji and Canberra, plans for global rescue fleets and billion-dollar budgets collide with shifting stories and unanswered emails. Were these simply bureaucratic hiccups, or early signs that something wasn't as it seemed? Peter Cowell was contacted for comment during the production of this series. At the time of publication, no response has been received. All accounts and opinions in this series are those of the participants, based on their own experiences. Allegations are always attributed to their sources. The story is told in the public interest to examine how trust, belief, and ambition can intertwine.

"I go to the Girmitiya countries, like the Caribbean, South Africa, Mauritius, Fiji, at the same time, countries which are liberal democracies and western democracies and so on. I also visit Africa, but wherever I go, the educated professionals have all read and have been impacted by Rajiv ji's writings. In the modern times, I feel his books have given them the much needed intellectual material, written in a very intellectual way, meaning in a cogent academic way you can say, to present what they feel that something is wrong, but they cannot articulate and they don't know the background, they have no time to research and here is Rajiv ji presenting not one, not two, a series of books, one after another, very well researched, very well presented and I think that has given a framework for all such people, all over the world, in the Hindu diaspora."- Sri Saumitra Gokhale, Global Coordinator, The Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh.Who Is Raising Your Children? - https://whoisraisingyourchildren.com/Battle For Consciousness Theory - http://battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.comThe Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.comPower of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.comTo support Infinity Foundation's projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए: http://infinityfoundation.com/donate-2/

Eric interviews Eric Cohen, a long-time figure in the aquarium industry, where he discusses his career evolution and current businesses, Blue Life USA and tankstop.com. Cohen details his early role as the second person to import live rock from Fiji to the US in the mid-1980s, sharing an anecdote about the first importer who went to jail for drug dealing. He explains how he co-founded Sea Dwelling Creatures in 1992, running it for 25 years before selling it in 2016 due to burnout and family health issues, driven by his growing focus on conservation. Cohen also discusses his re-entry into the livestock trade through tankstop.com, focusing on sustainable practices like importing real live rock from Australia and selling proprietary products through Blue Life USA, including the successful algae remedy Flux RX. Key Takeaways: Be ready to seize unexpected business opportunities, even in the early stages of your professional life. Recognize the seasonal changes in life and be willing to step away from a demanding business due to burnout or family needs. Cultivate a spiritual or devotional practice, such as Bhakti Yoga, to help stay grounded and manage your ego. Provide exceptional and personalized customer service to ensure interactions remain enjoyable and keep people involved in the hobby. Embrace new passions, like e-mountain biking, to find physical activity and enjoyment later in life.

September 11, 1987. Cowlitz County, Washington. The dismembered headless torso of a woman is discovered in the Lewis River and the same victim's legs are soon found 30 miles away in the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. Thirteen days later, the body of an infant girl who is believed to be the woman's daughter is discovered in the Cowlitz River, but since the identity of both victims cannot be determined, they remain Jane Does. In 2006, the decedents are finally identified as 24-year old Raj Narain, who originally hailed from Fiji, and her 14-month old American-born daughter, Kamnee. It turns out that Raj's 30-year old husband, Ashok Narain, went missing around the same time the murders took place, but since he cannot be found, the crime is never solved. Did Ashok murder his wife and daughter, or were all they victims of an unknown third party? On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the bizarre saga of the Narain family. If you have any information about this case, please contact the the Kelso Police Department at (360) 423-1270., the Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office at (360) 577-3092 or the Eugene Police Department at (541) 682-5111.

HEADLINE: Polynesian Navigation Techniques and the Voyage of John Williams AUTHOR NAME: Nicholas Thomas SUMMARY: Professor Nicholas Thomas introduces his book, Voyagers, discussing 19th-century missionary John Williams's encounter with Chief Rono Matani. Matani demonstrated that proper course setting required departing from a specific, knowledge-based point on an island, utilizing landmarks. Once out of sight of land, Polynesians maintained course using specific rising stars, compensating for currents and wind through subtle environmental understanding. 1899 FIJI
