Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.This episode is part of my initiative to provide access to important court decisions  impacting employees in an easy to understand conversational format using AI.  The speakers in the episode are AI generated and frankly sound great to listen to.  Enjoy!A shocking email revealed General Electric executives' plan to terminate an employee regardless of his actions - a smoking gun that led a jury to award over $12 million in damages in one of the most significant workplace retaliation cases of recent years.Hemant Modi, an accomplished electrical engineer with a PhD, found himself caught in an increasingly hostile work environment after filing a discrimination complaint alleging he was passed over for promotion due to his age and minority status. What followed was a textbook case of workplace retaliation - increased scrutiny, special rules applying only to him, performance improvement plans, and ultimately, termination.The case takes us deep into the mechanics of workplace discrimination and retaliation, revealing how power dynamics can create impossible situations for employees who speak up. When Modi's supervisors documented his every move, criticized his work performance, and implemented new attendance requirements specifically targeting him, they created a paper trail meant to justify his eventual termination. But their own internal communications betrayed their true intentions when an email emerged showing they planned to fire Modi no matter what he did upon returning from medical leave.The jury's verdict and the subsequent legal battle provide crucial insights for both employees and employers. For workers, Modi's case underscores the vital importance of documenting everything and understanding your legal rights. For companies, it serves as a sobering reminder that retaliatory actions can lead to devastating financial and reputational consequences. The judge's detailed analysis of what constitutes appropriate punitive damages offers a fascinating glimpse into how courts evaluate corporate misconduct and determine appropriate penalties.What can we learn from this landmark case about creating truly fair workplaces? How can organizations build cultures where people feel safe reporting concerns without fear of retaliation? Listen now to explore these crucial questions and discover why this case matters for anyone navigating today's complex workplace dynamics.

Hello, Hello, Hello, This is the second part of the discussion we had on Robert Eggers! Here, Dhruv – joined by the brain-melting and blood-sucking vampire, Varun, and his “spirited animal” friend, Hemant – tries to talk about Eggers' latest horror film, “Nosferatu,” in relation to F. W. Murnau's 1922 German Expressionist classic, and Werner Herzog's existentially despairing 1979 remake of it. But little does he know the digressions this deadly duo has in store for him… Listen to the full episode to hear him respond to the absurdity of Varun referencing Zoya Akhtar's “Dil Dhadakne Do” when talking about Murnau's classic, or, worse still, the Sridevi-and-Anil-Kapoor-starrer “Judaai” when he's talking about the Eggers' version. There's plenty of discussion about how these films, despite tackling the same story, have such drastically different treatments. But that's if you can look past those comparisons… Best of luck to all!

In this interview, we sit down with Dr. Hemant Murthy, a professor of medicine in the division of Hematology/Oncology at Mayo Clinic, to explore the groundbreaking potential of CAR T-cell therapy and the crucial role clinical trials play in advancing cancer treatments.Dr. Murthy begins by emphasizing the importance of clinical trials in hematology, reminding us that many of today's standard treatments—like oral medications for chronic myeloid leukemia or advanced therapies for multiple myeloma and acute myeloid leukemia—are the result of past clinical trials. These studies not only push boundaries but also provide a clearer future path for treating diseases.CAR T-cell therapy is a significant part of this evolving landscape. Initially viewed as a last resort for patients with limited life expectancy, CAR T- cell therapy has now become a transformative therapy, with trials showing such strong results that it's being used earlier in treatment regimens, sometimes even before other established procedures like bone marrow transplants. The therapy, which re-engineers a patient's own immune cells to fight cancer, has been particularly effective for conditions such as lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Dr. Murthy explains how this shift in timing and application has dramatically changed patient outcomes, allowing those once facing hospice care to now look forward to longer, more hopeful lives.Dr. Murthy also highlights the meticulous approval process for CAR T- cell therapies. He discusses how several CAR T products, such as axicabtagene ciloleucel and lisocabtagene maraleucel, have been approved for diseases like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma due to their success in clinical trials. Importantly, he notes that these treatments are continually evolving, and future trials may yield even better results for more patients.For patients interested in learning about clinical trials, Dr. Murthy stresses the importance of consulting with their oncologists. Trials are essential in driving the next wave of treatments, and they provide an opportunity to explore innovative therapies. He advises patients to ask about trial phases and the logistics involved, such as the number of study visits or the need to stay near treatment centers. Resources like clinicaltrials.gov can also help patients find reputable studies.Looking to the future, Dr. Murthy shares his excitement about emerging therapies, including cellular treatments for solid tumors like melanoma and sarcomas. He talks about innovative approaches like gene editing and the use of different immune cells, such as natural killer cells, to make treatments safer, faster, and more effective. As clinical trials continue to expand, they offer hope for addressing even more cancer types and improving patient care.In closing, Dr. Murthy reflects on how far cancer treatments have come and expresses optimism about the ongoing impact of clinical trials in shaping a brighter future for patients. He encourages patients to ask questions and stay engaged with their healthcare providers to explore all potential treatment options.More:ClinicalTrials.gov: https://clinicaltrials.govMayo Clinic Cancer Center: https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/cancer-centerThis season is made possible thanks to our sponsors:Kite, a Gilead company: http://www.kitepharma.com/and Bristol Myers Squibb's CAR T support services program:https://www.celltherapy360.com/ Follow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/Or visit our website at https://www.nbmtlink.org/

In the first (of four!) episodes planned for Halloween month, we're entering not the King-sized American genre worlds populated by slasher killers, raging alcoholics, and traumatized ghosts but a distinctly Greek one. This, as our guest, Panos Liakos (NYU graduate; freelance writer for The New Herald), tells us, is the "Yorgos Cosmos" -- built on exploring the tragi-comic absurdity of human existence. It's a style of horror/dark comedy that's distinctly Greek -- originating from the "Greek Weird Wave" movement, internationally recognized as a representation of and response to the Greek Financial Crisis in 2010. But its -- and especially its most famous figure, Yorgos Lanthimos' growing international appeal -- also speaks to its universal appeal: for who hasn't felt the Kafkaesque dread of getting crushed by a strictly ordered, almost automaton existence and then tried (and failed to) escape in comically absurd ways? Dhruv and Panos discuss all this by first talking about the “Greek Weird Wave,” then Yorgos Lanthimos' eclectic filmography, and then his latest film, “Kinds of Kindness,” in spoiler-filled detail.

It's no longer Kubrick Month because we're late recording and uploading this and P4, but regardless, we're here to complete our Kubrickian Odysseys!   Dhruv, Amartya, and Hemant have spent the entirety of July (and will now spend the last week of August and the first week of September) revisiting and discussing 10 (of 13) Kubrick-directed films (the Horror and Noir films will be discussed in October and November, respectively!) plus one conceptualized and obsessed over by him but eventually directed by his dear friend, Steven Spielberg.   In Part 4 (of 4), we focus primarily on the monolith of Kubrick's filmography and hard science fiction itself: "2001: A Space Odyssey." Everything from Ridley Scott's "Alien" to Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" to Denis Villeneuve's "Arrival" to Werner Herzog's philosophy, and most importantly, Michael Bay's "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" is referenced here, as the three of us try to make sense of Kubrick's enigmatic masterpiece. We go through the film chapter by chapter, detailing our interpretations of each of its mysterious, short-story-like building blocks before leaping its two "real" offsprings—"2010—The Year We Make Contact" and, more extensively, Steven Spielberg's "A.I. Artificial Intelligence"—to, hopefully, provide some legitimate answers to 2001's enduring, endless mysteries.

In the 14th episode of Season 8 of the Meet the Mancunian Podcast, host Deepa Thomas-Sutcliffe interviews Hemant Patel, CEO of Anumana. They discuss Hemant's passion for community support, inspired by his mother and Indian cultural values, and his initiative, the Code Academy. Patel highlights the academy's mission to address challenges in the tech sector, such as lack of diversity, skills gap, and social mobility barriers. The academy offers a free 16-week Python programming course to Manchester schools delivered by University students, targeting students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Hemant also shares the struggles and successes of establishing this program simultaneously with his business, Anumana, and emphasises the importance of relatable role models in inspiring young talent. The episode concludes with insights into the program's impact and Hemant's advice for creating similar initiatives. In Hemant's own words: “I think the biggest common myth is that you have to have a specific skill set and I guess the biggest common myth is that you have to come from a computer science background to be able to program, or you have had to have previous program experience to program. I think certainly there are a lot of programs out there where people are retraining from completely different vocations into programming.” #Youth #Coding #students #community #Manchester #GM #SocialImpact #NonProfit #Podcast Did you know:  ·     In 2024, the House of Commons Library reported that 18% of UK adults lack the digital skills needed for the workplace.  ·     The Government's 2022 Digital Strategy states that over 80% of UK job advertisements require digital skills, and the skills gap could cost the economy up to £120 billion a year by 2035. ·     Young people face several barriers to entering digital training and careers, including a lack of encouragement, limited awareness of options, and low teaching quality. Many also hold negative perceptions of the tech sector, seeing it as difficult, with long hours and high discrimination. Additionally, retraining is hindered by financial costs and a lack of junior-level roles   Key resource: Anumana Code Academy   Time stamps of key moments in the podcast episode & transcript: (00:55) Introduction to Hemant Patel and Anumana (01:42) Finding Passion for Community Support (02:46) The Birth of Code Academy (06:33) Challenges in Building Code Academy (07:50) Scaling and Sustainability of Code Academy (09:20) Impact and Success Stories (12:31) Debunking Myths in Coding and IT (13:36) Advice for Starting Similar Movements (18:25) Personal Reflections and Life Lessons (19:49) Signature Questions and Closing Remarks Listen to the episode and read the transcript on www.meetthemancunian.co.uk

Which is a shame, really, because Kubrick's formal and tonal command – partly necessitated by the still-strong presence of Hollywood's Production Code – remains masterful in it: he makes the triggering central conceit of hebephilia (strong sexual interest shown by adults in pubescent children who are early in their adolescence) consistently discomforting even when disguising it within the conventions of seemingly charming romantic comedy.   The opposite may be true in the case of “A Clockwork Orange” (1971) – undoubtedly the director's most aggressively controversial and confrontational film both in terms of its content and treatment. Its anger towards the individual's brand of ultraviolence and sexual deviance is outmatched by its contempt towards forced social conditioning that destroys the individual's free will without ever actually reforming him. Kubrick – unsurprisingly – places us somewhere in between these two modes – at times, troublingly embodying the individual's POV and other times distancing us from it, making “A Clockwork Orange” what it is – an irresolvable film of conflict that offers NO solutions.   Which is THE problem with “Eyes Wide Shut.” Well, for Amartya and, to an extent, Dhruv. They both find the film incredibly well made but tiresome in its provocative but incredibly prolonged dissection of a marriage, and especially a man's supposedly certain perception of his wife's “pure” role within it. Hemant tries to counter that – but much like Tom Cruise in the film itself – retreats, perhaps, because his wife (thank you, Aarti!) also concurs with us.   Listen to the full episode to hear talk in detail about all three of these films and end by debating the controversial ranking of our favorite Kubrick films!   TIME CODES   Intro: [00:00 - 17:02] “Lolita” (1962): [17:02 - 57:25] "A Clockwork Orange" (1971) : [57:25 - 01:36:39] "Eyes Wide Shut" (1999) : [01:36:39 - 02:14:51] Outro: [02:14:51 - 02:28:16] AUDIO EXCERPTS 1.

After a long long week of activity in Chicago, our friends Sarah Levin (Secular Strategies) and Hemant Mehta (Friendly Atheist), graciously agreed to connect for an exclusive conversation for Unreasonable listeners, recapping what they saw and heard at the Democratic National Convention, especially from a secular perspective, since over 30 percent of the Democratic party is non-religious.There was a lot of god talk coming from the podium. And we get it: Democrats have the opportunity to draw in people of faith who've finally had it with their anti-Christ candidate. How many of those people actually exist? Who knows, but in this game of inches it behooves us to invite them to the party and feel welcome. As they should: honest people of faith do, for the most part, share the social and moral values of secular voters.And though there's still work to be done, tremendous strides have been taken by the party to acknowledge their reliable None voters. Sarah and Hemant walk us through them on this special DNC episode of Unreasonable.Support the Show.Thanks for listening!

Tis' Kubrick Month! Dhruv, Amartya, and Hemant will spend the entirety of July revisiting and discussing 10 (of 13) Kubrick-directed films (the Horror and Noir films will be discussed in October and November, respectively!) plus 1 conceptualized and obsessed over by him but eventually directed by his dear friend, Steven Spielberg. In Part 2 (of 4), we focus on Kubrick's historical epics, which feel like a continuation of his War films and, at times, a counterpoint to them. We start by discussing the only film he believes he never had a final cut on—"Spartacus" (1960)—a swords-and-sandals epic whose main point of value for us lies in debating the limits of the auteur theory and the behind-the-scenes shenanigans that made the production a living hell for most involved. Then, we pivot to focus extensively on "Barry Lyndon" (1975), best described as a "rebound" for Kubrick after he couldn't get his "Napoleon" project off the mark. But what if—we discuss and argue—"Barry Lyndon" is his best film? What if it retains the utter silliness of "Dr. Strangelove" but somehow also works as a heartbreaking character tragedy? Listen to the full episode and much more about Yorgos Lanthimos ("The Favourite," "Poor Things") and Sofia Coppola's ("Marie Antoinette") Kubrickian touches in their period pieces!

Party general secretary and spokesperson Supriyo Bhattacharya said that the Chief Minister, along with his Cabinet, will be taking the oath today. Champai met the Governor yesterday to submit his resignation after the ruling coalition's 45 MLAs elected Hemant as their leader.Rajasthan Cabinet Minister Kirodi Lal Meena resigned on late Wednesday, months after saying that he would quit the post if the BJP loses the Dausa Lok Sabha seat. In a statement to a news channel, Meena confirmed his resignation. He said that this was also the reason why he did not attend Chief Minister Bhajan Lal's Cabinet meeting as he had “no moral right”. Sources said that he had submitted his papers a few days ago. However, the resignation has not been accepted yet.After 121 people were killed and several others were injured in Hathras stampede incident on 2nd of July, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will visit the site and meet those affected. Addressing the media, Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal said, quote “It was an unfortunate incident. The leader of the opposition in Lok Sabha (Rahul Gandhi) is planning to visit Hathras.
