In March 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 departed Kuala Lumpur carrying 239 people and disappeared. But the aircraft didn't simply vanish. Military radar showed it reversing course and crossing Malaysia. A forgotten satellite terminal continued quietly answering automated signals for hours. Investigators eventually determined the Boeing 777 had flown deep into the Southern Indian Ocean until its fuel was exhausted. More than a decade later, pieces of the aircraft have washed ashore thousands of miles away, but the main wreckage, black boxes, and definitive explanation remain missing. Tonight, we reconstruct the final seven hours of MH370—and examine how a quarter-million-pound airliner managed to slip through the seams of the modern world.

Andrew Mayne and Brian Brushwood range from economics to space weirdness, starting with Malaysia's nearly empty Forest City and what a failed megadevelopment says about speculative housing, demographic pressure, and whether abandoned infrastructure can be repurposed for art, events, or other experiments. They then dig into scams and AI-driven impersonation, arguing that the real danger is persistent social engineering built on fake relationships, and that identity verification gets much harder when business is done almost entirely through remote channels. From there they geek out over “invisible” spinning drones, massive drone shows that now rival science-fiction cityscapes, and the likelihood that outdoor entertainment will keep expanding into new forms as the tech gets cheaper. The final stretch goes full Weird Things with black holes, gravitational-wave detections, a speculative wormhole interpretation of an anomalous LIGO event, new high-resolution images of the sun, the tradeoffs of human versus robotic space exploration, and a quick detour into Spider-Man rankings before ending on creative recommendations.

Rebecca Maria Goldschmidt speaks with Norma Hashim and Dr. Nazari Ismail from the Hashim Sani Center for Palestine Studies at Universiti Malaya in Kuala Lumpur in this two-part podcast with solidarity activists from Malaysia. Hashim and Dr. Ismail share reflections on almost two decades of grassroots organizing with BDS Malaysia and Viva Palestina Malaysia. They discuss the recent closure of The Network School, an experimental project in “tech zionism”, and other successful campaigns to divest from Israeli companies. The Malaysian consumer boycott of Starbucks led to the closure of over 45+ locations. Their McDonald's boycott sparked a viral legal battle, and the struggle continues against complicit corporations like Google, Amazon, Caterpillar, and resource extraction companies that serve the Pentagon, including the Australian rare earth miner Lynas. Alongside their advocacy work, Hashim shares updates from daily relief work to support communities in Gaza, who continue to survive in the unbearable living conditions.

Sometimes the biggest financial setbacks have nothing to do with money. After migrating to Australia from Malaysia, she watched her family go from a comfortable life to starting over from scratch. Money wasn't something anyone talked about, especially the women in her family, so when she entered her first serious relationships, she had no idea what financial abuse or manipulation could look like. By 28, she'd lost thousands, moved back in with her parents and felt like she was starting all over again. But instead of staying there, she got curious. She started learning about money, bought her first home on her own, built a share portfolio worth $70,000, grew her super to more than $280,000, and carved out a career as an emergency veterinarian earning up to $250,000 a year. Along the way, she also met a partner who supports her goals instead of holding her back. We chat about financial abuse, rebuilding your confidence after unhealthy relationships, migrating to Australia, buying a home solo, planning for a family, and why sometimes the best investment you can make is believing you're capable of creating a different future. If you've ever felt like you've fallen behind because of the wrong relationship, this one's for you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I'm your China travel guide in exile, Missionary Ben, back in Oklahoma for a few days before returning (finally) to my overseas home in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Follow me on Twitter/X (@chinaadventures) where I share a new Chinese city to pray for every single day. Email me with any questions, comments, or complaints: chinacompass @ privacyport.com. Finally, check out my personal landing page PrayGiveGo.us for everything else, including our missions website, substack, books, and more… Why the Prison Pulpit? The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison. (Here you’ll find some free PDF books by Richard Wurmbrand: https://richardwurmbrandfoundation.org/) Help Bring Pastor John Cao Home https://revelationmedia.com/bringcaohome Help Us Equip and Encourage China’s Persecuted Church First, please pray for these Chinese leaders! Not only do they risk their lives to preach the Gospel within Communist China, but they also risk their freedom just to receive training that we easily take for granted. Pray that God would protect them, provide for them, equip them, and prepare them to continue serving faithfully in one of the most difficult mission fields on earth. Second, help sponsor a Chinese pastor and send him to one of these two Great Commission Conferences for the Chinese Church! The need is roughly $1k per attendee, and we are expecting 60 total. Nearly $45k has already been raised, which leaves about $15k to go. One final thought: whoever gives to wholly “sponsor” one Chinese missionary, I will personally greet them on your behalf and provide you with their name (or nickname), and general location of ministry within China, so you can continue to “adopt” them in prayer for going forward. Online donations can be made via the giving link at MCI3.org (https://givebutter.com/missioncatalyst). Checks can be sent to: Mission Catalyst / PO Box 73047 / Houston, TX 77272 (Memo: China) If you have any questions or would like to confirm your sponsorship or “adoption” of a Chinese missionary, feel free to email (bfwesten AT gmail dot com) anytime or donate directly at: MCI3.org Pray for China Cities of the Week (Aug 17-23): https://chinacall.substack.com/p/pray-for-china-aug-17-23-2026 Follow China Compass Thank you for listening!

If China controls maritime East Asia, what would that mean for Taiwan, the Philippines, Japan, global trade, and U.S. security?In Episode 163, Ray Powell and Jim Carouso speak with retired U.S. Navy Captain Brent Sadler, a career submariner, former U.S. defense attaché in Malaysia, Heritage Foundation Senior Fellow and author of two books: U.S. Naval Power in the 21st Century and Naval Power in Action: Seizing the Initiative in the New Cold War with China.Sadler's answer is blunt: China is exercising growing control over maritime East Asia, as Beijing has spent decades building the military, commercial, and political leverage to do exactly that. He says this is not just a question of aircraft carriers, missiles, and hull counts, but also about China's strategic commercial footprint in ports, shipping and repair infrastructure, distant-water fishing fleets, maritime militia, and the China Coast Guard.Ray and Jim ask what it means that China's coast guard vessels are operating east of Taiwan. Are these deployments preparation for a possible blockade? Why are fishing fleets moving in organized formations? And how could Beijing use gray-zone coercion to change the status quo before anyone agrees that a crisis has begun?The conversation also examines the recent China-Russia naval exercises and potential for submarine technology transfer, Russian pressure on Japan around the Kuril Islands, and Beijing's efforts to turn even limited naval interactions with countries such as Indonesia into political and propaganda victories. Sadler explains why Southeast Asian leaders' rhetoric must be weighed against what matters on the water: maritime rights, military exercises, commercial ties, and freedom of navigation.Finally, Sadler assesses the military balance approaching the much-discussed 2027 window of war concerns, China's Taiwan contingency preparations, gaps in America's carrier presence in the Indo-Pacific, U.S. shipbuilding deficits, the future of unmanned vessels, and what Ukraine's drone war may mean for Taiwan and regional partners.Sadler's larger warning is that maritime control is no longer just a contest of fleets, but a contest of coercion, commerce, access, and political will; one in which Beijing can test regional governments, reshape behavior below the threshold of war, and learn whether America and its allies will respond before temporary pressure becomes a permanent advantage.Follow Brent Sadler at the Heritage Foundation, on LinkedIn or on X, @brentdsadlerFollow us on X, @IndoPacPodcast, LinkedIn or FacebookFollow Ray on X, @GordianKnotRay, or LinkedInFollow Jim on LinkedInSponsored by BowerGroupAsia

The Trump administration is embroiled in a diplomatic standoff after Brazilian President Lula da Silva accused the US of sending officials to “meddle in Brazil's elections”, an allegation the US called, "baseless".Throughout its history, the US has been accused of trying to influence political events outside its borders – from offering subtle incentives for its preferred political outcome to secretly sponsoring coups against foreign governments. In recent years, President Trump has pursued a more overt strategy, publicly endorsing candidates who align with his politics. So are we seeing a new blueprint for US foreign policy?We speak to BBC Brazil correspondent Leandro Prazeres about the US-Brazil fallout. We also hear from Politico correspondent Nahal Toosi about the long history of US interference in foreign elections, and how the Trump administration compares.

VOV1 - Được dự báo có thể trở thành đợt El Niño khốc liệt nhất kể từ năm 1950, hiện tượng Siêu El Niño hình thành cuối năm nay đang đẩy Thái Lan và Malaysia vào chu kỳ thời tiết cực đoan kéo dài đến nửa đầu 2027, đe dọa an ninh nguồn nước, sản xuất nông nghiệp... cùng nhiều rủi ro sức khỏe cộng đồngTại Thái Lan, tổng lượng mưa toàn quốc dự kiến giảm ít nhất 10%. Thách thức lớn nhất không chỉ nằm ở sự sụt giảm lượng nước mà còn ở tính chất bất thường của thời tiết, khi các đợt hạn hán kéo dài bị cắt ngang bởi các trận "bom mưa" dồn dập. Do mưa chỉ tập trung ở khu vực biên giới, các hồ chứa lớn ở vùng nội địa miền Trung rơi vào tình trạng thiếu nước nghiêm trọng, với dung tích tích trữ sụt giảm khoảng 10% so với cùng kỳ năm ngoái. Điều này đe dọa làm sụt giảm 20% sản lượng lúa vụ hai trong năm tới. Để chủ động ứng phó, Bộ Nông nghiệp Thái Lan đã triển khai hệ thống tưới luân phiên, tiết kiệm tối đa nguồn nước, đồng thời lên kế hoạch phân bổ khoảng 15 tỷ m³ nước cho sinh hoạt, công nghiệp và bảo tồn hệ sinh thái.Trong khi đó tại Malaysia, hiện tượng siêu El Niño làm giảm khả năng đối lưu và hình thành mây, khiến bức xạ mặt trời gia tăng và đẩy nhiệt độ ở nhiều khu vực vượt ngưỡng 40°C trong những tháng tới, đặc biệt là tại vùng phía Bắc Bán đảo Malaysia. Từ tháng 10 đến tháng 12, lượng mưa dọc bờ biển phía Đông dự kiến giảm từ 10% đến 20%, trong khi các bang Sabah và Sarawak sẽ bước vào đợt khô hạn gay gắt từ đầu năm sau, làm gia tăng nguy cơ cháy rừng và khói mù xuyên biên giới.Đáng chú ý, siêu El Niño cũng gây ra sự phân bổ thời tiết trái ngược khi khu vực Nam Sarawak cùng một số vùng lân cận như Nam Sumatra và Tây Kalimantan của Malaysia có thể phải đối mặt với mưa lớn dồn dập và lũ lụt vào cuối năm.Trước tình hình nắng nóng kéo dài làm gia tăng tốc độ bốc hơi nước từ tháng 2 đến tháng 4 năm sau, các chuyên gia khí tượng kêu gọi chính quyền các nước cần nhanh chóng tích trữ nước tại các hồ đập ngay từ bây giờ. Việc chủ động điều phối nguồn nước và triển khai các kịch bản ứng phó kịp thời là yếu tố then chốt để đảm bảo nguồn cung cho sinh hoạt, bảo vệ ngành sản xuất lúa gạo và giảm thiểu tối đa rủi ro cho sức khỏe cộng đồng./.PV VOV Thái LanHiện tượng khô hạn tại miền Trung Thái Lan.

In this episode, Niall speaks with Liam McClintock, a Yale graduate, former Buddhist monk, and founder of FitMind, a meditation training platform that helps people move beyond stress reduction into deeper states of awareness and well-being. After leaving a career in finance, Liam spent three years training in monasteries across Asia, studying under Bhante Vimalaramsi and learning advanced meditation practices, including jhana states and forgiveness meditation. He recently published his first book, “FitMind”, which brings together neuroscience and contemplative practice in practical tools for everyday life. In this conversation, they explore: — Why happiness supports meditation, not the other way around — How predictive processing theory helps explain why meditation reduces suffering — The neuroscience of jhana states and their role in reshaping the mind — A forgiveness practice for letting go of emotional baggage — The four-step framework for training attention: recognize, release, relish, and remain You can learn more about Liam's work at fitmind.org. --- Liam is the founder of FitMind, a mental fitness training platform that provides evidence-based programmes for individuals and organisations, including Uber. After studying history at Yale University and briefly working in finance, he left his career in 2018 to become a certified yoga and meditation teacher in Bali. His interest in the mind grew from a childhood diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), leading him to explore psychology, lucid dreaming, and a wide range of contemplative traditions. His training has included Theravada Buddhism in India, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia; Indigenous shamanism in Peru and Mexico; Boabom, an ancient Tibetan martial art, in Chile; Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga in Indonesia and Nepal; Tibetan Buddhist practices in Bhutan; and Dzogchen, Mahamudra, Qi Gong, and other contemplative disciplines in the United States. Liam later completed a Master of Science in Applied Neuroscience at King's College London, where his dissertation examined the neural correlates of advanced nondual meditation. Liam has since become a Buddhist monk to deepen his meditation practice and has participated in consciousness research at Harvard University. He has also advised on advanced meditation training for Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. Drawing on both scientific research and first-hand contemplative experience, Liam's work bridges neuroscience and ancient wisdom traditions to help people cultivate greater mental fitness, resilience, and wellbeing. He believes that making mental fitness an accessible and enjoyable part of everyday life has the potential to improve both individual lives and society as a whole. --- Interview Links: — Liam's website: https://fitmind.org — Liam's book: https://amzn.to/3RJGOum — Fitmind Courses: https://fitmind.org/module — Fitmind Podcast: https://fitmind.org/learn

Is Stefano Domenicali right that F1 fans don't understand, or even care about, the sport's technology? We get into it. Plus a wild calendar shake-up as Malaysia returns (sort of), and talk of a German GP comeback. In this episode: Domenicali says the wider fanbase doesn't grasp the power-unit rules — so we ask whether that's fair, or just a soundbite for the shareholders. We dig into the engine-regulation vetoes and MBS's push to claw control back from the teams, the strange "Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia" that finally brings Sepang back, the packed run-in with Abu Dhabi and Qatar still in doubt, Hockenheim's bid to bring back the German GP, and the mystery Silverstone/COTA announcement.

Vessbroz have become one of the biggest Iranian success stories in global electronic music. But behind the stages, festivals and billions of online views is a remarkable story of two brothers from Isfahan whose lives were shaped by exile, resilience, family and an enduring connection to Iran. In this conversation, Jian sits down with Armia and Arsham for one of their rare long-form interviews, exploring their childhood in Iran, discovering dance music, the years they were separated between Iran and Malaysia, overcoming racism, navigating fame, and why they've chosen to speak publicly about the ongoing human rights crisis in their homeland. Recorded before this week's executions in Isfahan, the conversation includes the brothers' reflections on the young people who were then on death row and the responsibility they feel to raise awareness internationally. This episode also includes Jian's reflections on Roqe Live 6, the latest developments in Iran, and community announcements for listeners in Toronto.

Hungry Ghost Month runs August 13 through September 10 in 2026, with the fifteenth-day Hungry Ghost Festival falling on August 27. Why do some getai and wayang performances in Singapore and Malaysia leave the entire front row empty?Thursday Thrills explores the Chinese ghost folklore, religious traditions and regional beliefs behind seats reserved for unseen guests. Henrique traces the differences among the seventh lunar month, the Daoist Zhongyuan Festival, Buddhist Yulanpen or Ullambana observances, ancestor remembrance and offerings for wandering spirits. We also examine food, incense, joss paper and documented Ghost Month taboos involving roadside offerings, nighttime swimming, reserved seats and major life events.From Taiwan's water lanterns and Hong Kong's Yu Lan traditions to Singaporean getai, this respectful supernatural folklore journey separates living cultural practice from sensational internet horror - and asks who a performance is really for when its best seats are left empty.

RUBY WARRIORS: Saving Arth by Jeya Carmichael Jeyacarmichaelauthor.com https://www.amazon.com/RUBY-WARRIORS-Saving-Jeya-Carmichael/dp/B0CNF6XYPX In their quiet suburban neighborhood, three friends stumble upon an antique ruby amulet and are transported to a parallel Earth teetering on the brink of destruction. Arth, a world steeped in myth and legend, holds a desperate secret—the return of merciless Marauders, threatening to plunge the realm into darkness. But Arth has a glimmer of hope in its most unlikely heroes: Aurora, Lizzy, and Lance. Prophesied in the sacred Book as the royal children destined to save Arth, they discover that they are the royal grandchildren of the legendary Sophia, a magical guardian who once protected the realm. As the Ruby Warriors, the children embark upon a perilous quest to fulfill the prophecy and thwart the Marauders’ sinister plans. Their journey takes them through a fantastical world filled with enchanted forests, towering giants, and mythical creatures. Along the way, they must face their deepest fears, including a treacherous forest infested with giant spiders and the foreboding Serpent Mountain. With bravery, wit, and the newfound magic of their amulet, the Ruby Warriors must send the Marauders hurtling back into the depths of space. But the path to victory is fraught with challenges. Will Aurora, Lizzy, and Lance fulfill their destiny and save Arth from certain doom? Join them on this magical journey, where the bonds of friendship are tested, the forces of darkness are confronted, and the legacy of their great ancestor Sophia lives on. About the author Greetings!

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bizpod/BEP119c-Telephone-Appointment.mp3 Welcome back to Business English Pod for today's lesson on making an appointment over the telephone. Despite the many options for communication, the telephone is still the fastest and easiest way to do get some things done. This is true in business as much as it is in personal life. There are many reasons to skip the back and forth of email or texting and just call someone. One good reason is to make an appointment. It could be a business meeting, a conversation with your lawyer, a visit to a client, or a doctor's appointment. In this case, the real business needs to happen in person. But that in-person appointment needs to be arranged and agreed on. When we make an appointment over the phone, we often say our reason for calling before asking for a meeting. And it's a good idea to give a clear reason for that meeting or appointment. You'll also have to discuss existing plans and suggest times for the meeting. In today's dialog, we'll hear Gordon Knight calling to make an appointment with Penny Yip. Gordon works for a pension fund, while Penny works for an investment company. Gordon met Penny at a recent conference and now wants to follow up and meet her when he is in Malaysia. Listening Questions 1. What does Gordon tell the assistant about his reason for calling? 2. What does Gordon tell Penny about his reason for meeting? 3. What time does Penny suggest they meet?

Patrick Witt, the White House's executive director for digital assets policy, calls in mid-episode to give the Chopping Block crew a live read on the CLARITY market structure bill! Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week they're joined mid-episode by Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the President's Council of Advisors for Digital Assets, who dialed in late because he was literally chasing down bill language. First, Tarun explains how Gauntlet closed its biggest raise ever, $125M from SBI Holdings, the crypto OGs of Japan and early Ripple Labs backers, and what it cost him in suits and seven straight days of staying shaved (chairman Kitao-san reportedly listens). Then the crew dissects Balaji's Network School saga, from a Forest City ghost town in Malaysia to an immigration raid, a revoked license, and a sudden MOU-fueled pivot to Kazakhstan, with Tom's dreaded 'turkey chart' making an appearance. Finally, the main event: Patrick lays out the state of play on the CLARITY market structure bill, the August 7th recess deadline, the ~46% Polymarket coin flip, and the first-of-its-kind ethics provision, including the DOJ-versus-state-AG enforcement fight and whether crypto gets a second crack after midterms.

You can have all the goals in the world. Write them down every morning. Vision board them on your wall. But if you're not becoming the person those goals actually require, nothing is going to change. In this solo episode, Ray Higdon cuts straight to the truth: most people don't fail because they lack goals. They fail because they won't do the personal becoming that the goal demands. And he's not just talking theory here. Ray walks you through a powerful exercise to expose the gap between what you want and who you currently are, then backs it up with real stories. A guy named Eric who skipped his mortgage payment to fly to Malaysia on a hunch and built a team of 20,000 people a month. A plumber named Roger who started filming himself unclog toilets, got laughed at for a year, and ended up with a $2 million sponsorship deal. These weren't lucky breaks. They were leaps of faith made by people who chose to become someone new. Ray ties it all back to scripture too, reminding us that Abraham, Joseph, Peter, and every other person God used greatly had to walk through discomfort to get to the fruit. The question isn't whether you have bold enough goals. The question is whether you're bold enough to become the person capable of reaching them.
