Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 581-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 32,692 on turnover of 12.7-billion N-T. The market posted heavy declines on Monday, as the main board plunged nearly 1,500 points on the back of investor concerns over major spikes in international crude oil prices amid the US-Israel war with Iran. FM meets Australian lawmaker during stopover Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung has met with an Australian lawmaker during a stopover in Australia on his way home from Tuvalu. Taking to Facebook, Lin said he met with Hugh McDermott of the Australian Labor Party. McDermott also took social media to say he was pleased to meet with the foreign minister alongside (與…一起) parliamentary colleagues and representatives from the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Australia … … and he also posted a photo of himself shaking hands with Lin in Australia last Friday. However, neither McDermott or Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs have specified where the meeting took place in Australia during Lin's transit stop. Lin Chun-yi wins Taiwan's 1st men's singles title at All England Open Lin Chun-yi has won the men's singles competition at the 2026 All England Open Badminton Championships. The 26-year old, who is currently ranked world No. 11, beat his Indian opponent 21-15, 22-20 in a 57-minute final at the Utilita Arena in the city of Birmingham. The result means Lin has become the first Taiwanese male shuttler to top the podium (領獎台,前三名) in the men's singles event at the annual tournament. Lin's world ranking is expected to break into the top 10 for the first time, when the Badminton World Federation updates its standings later this week. He is ranked as Taiwan's No. 2 male badminton player. Anthropic sues Trump administration Artificial intelligence firm Anthropic has sued the Trump administration after it placed the artificial intelligence company on a national security blacklist (黑名單). The Pentagon has designated Anthropic as a supply chain risk, after it refused to remove guardrails against using its AI for autonomous weapons or domestic surveillance. Kate Fisher reports from Washington Australia Grants Asylum to Iraninan Soccer Team Australian Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke says that Australia has granted asylum to five members of the Iranian women's soccer team who were visiting the country for a tournament. The women were transported from their hotel in Gold Coast, Australia “to a safe location” by Australian federal police officers in the early hours of Tuesday morning local time. There, they met with Burke and the processing of their humanitarian visas finalized (完成), the minister told reporters in Brisbane hours later. An official team list numbered 26 players, plus coaching and other staff. Burke didn't detail what threats the players faced in Iran. The Iranian team arrived in Australia for the Women's Asian Cup last month, before the Iran war began. The team was knocked out of the tournament over the weekend and faced the prospect (可能) of returning to a country under bombardment. That was the I.C.R.T.

Indian advocacy groups are reporting a surge in hate incidents against Indian Americans. Enforcing H1-B is also racist. New evidence shows that transgenderism was just a social fad. Something we knew all along. Tony Gonzalez is out. Brandon Herrera is in. So the attack ads and hit pieces are just getting started. Tucker Carlson claims Trump's demand for unconditional surrender is like threatening the rape of Iranians. We'll explain why he's wrong.

While doing defense work, Ariel crosses paths with inmate Michael Thompson. Incarcerated for decades on murder charges, she finds him to be soft-spoken, educated, and spiritual. Ariel's intrigued by Thompson's life growing up on an Indian reservation, his claims of being wrongfully convicted, his time leading the brutal Aryan Brotherhood prison gang, and his quest for enlightenment. He dispenses wisdom as he recounts his violent past and deeds done to atone for them. But prosecutor Heather Brown finds Thompson's stories to be false or exaggerated, tales that shift as they suit his purpose. Whereas Ariel sees a reformed man worthy of a second chance, Heather believes him to be a slippery con artist intent on talking his way out of prison. In the podcast “Love + Radio: Blood Memory,” host Nick van der Kolk explores Thompson's life in a true crime series presented largely without narration. Through extensive interviews, it allows Thompson to tell his own life story, leaving it for the listener to decide whether he's credible.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season. We are now getting close to the end of the interview invite season for Round 2 as top MBA programs begin to release their final decisions. This upcoming week, UNC / Kenan Flagler, Duke / Fuqua, Michigan / Ross, Notre Dame / Mendoza, SMU / Cox and Imperial Business School are releasing their Round 2 decisions. A few MBA programs are also beginning their next admissions rounds, including Georgia / Terry, IESE and Maryland / Smith. Graham highlighted upcoming MBA webinar events. On March 19, we are hosting a series of panel discussions focused on international students who are targeting the top MBA programs in the United States. On May 11, Clear Admit is hosting our in-person MBA Fair in Atlanta. Signups for these events are here: https://www.clearadmit.com/events Graham then highlighted several MBA admissions tips, focusing on Welcome Weekend events, the importance of pre-MBA coursework for MBA applicants, and two that focus on deferred admissions at UPenn / Wharton and Columbia. Finally, Graham addressed the new season of Real Humans Alumni. This week focuses on four alumni from Rice / Jones at Bain, NYU / Stern at BCG, Harvard at Amazon and CMU / Tepper at Morgan Stanley. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry: This week's first MBA admissions candidate is from India and is looking to pivot from accounting to finance. They are applying next season and still need to take the GMAT exam. This week's second MBA applicant has a 316 GRE score and is planning to retake the GRE before applying next season. We believe they will have a really strong profile if they can raise their GRE score. This week's final MBA candidate is deciding between Fuqua, Goizueta and Owen. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.

Originally released on 8/21/24 as Episode 503In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary experiences of Tim Dills from Western North Carolina, a lifelong outdoorsman whose encounters span more than fifteen years across the rugged mountains of Macon County. Hunting deep within the vast forests surrounding Standing Indian, Rainbow Springs, and the North Carolina–Georgia border, Tim began noticing subtle signs that something was sharing the ridgelines with him.What started as unusual sounds and disturbances on a remote, gated property soon unfolded into repeated interactions—powerful vocalizations echoing through the hollows, rocks landing with precision, trees manipulated along active trails, and moments of unmistakable presence just beyond sight. Over time, those experiences led to multiple visual encounters, including a towering figure observed at close range and tracks measuring far beyond anything human.Tim describes intelligent behavior, coordinated movements in the forest, and a landscape that feels alive with awareness. He shares how years of returning to the same remote mountain terrain shaped his understanding of these beings and strengthened his conviction that they are deeply rooted in the Appalachian wilderness.Grounded, detailed, and reflective, Tim's account offers a rare look into sustained activity in one North Carolina county. Join us as we explore his journey through the forests of Western North Carolina and the enduring mystery that continues to unfold there.

Indians put more than half their household wealth into real estate. But almost all of it goes into one kind: residential. Commercial property like offices, shops, warehouses, barely features in the average Indian portfolio. Some investors argue that that might be a mistake. Commercial real estate offers higher rental yields, steadier returns, and in some cases, fewer headaches than the family flat. And today, you don't even need a crore to get in. REITs, SM REITs, and AIFs have opened the door to smaller investors. But the office isn't a free lunch. The risks are real, and they're different from anything most Indian investors are used to.This is a read-aloud version of this story from The Ken.Tune in.
AI could unlock India's digital economy and help make Indian companies smarter and more profitable. In this episode of The Core Report Special Edition, Financial Journalist Govindraj Ethiraj speaks with Akhilesh Tuteja, Partner & National Leader, Clients and Markets, KPMG India about AI in India, language AI, and how it could reshape India's digital economy and business growth.Artificial intelligence is transforming industries worldwide, but India may have a unique advantage. With a large population, diverse languages, and a growing startup ecosystem, it could unlock massive economic opportunity. Language AI could unlock India's digital economy by bringing millions of non English speakers into the digital ecosystem. Much of the internet today is still dominated by English content, leaving many Indians disconnected from the full benefits of the digital world. With AI powered translation, voice interfaces, and mobile first technologies, language AI could dramatically expand access and accelerate the growth of India's digital economy.The discussion explores how AI could make Indian companies smarter and more profitable by improving productivity, enabling faster decision making, and helping enterprises innovate at scale. From AI powered customer insights and hyper personalisation to automation, document processing, and enterprise intelligence, artificial intelligence is already changing how Indian businesses operate.The conversation also explores the future of India's IT services industry, the role of startups and innovation ecosystems, and why AI may initially disrupt markets before creating even greater value.

For years, India was thought of as the Wild West of the fertility industry. But in 2021, a new law in India made it illegal for women to sell their eggs or serve as paid surrogates. That law clashed with a growing demand for human eggs within the country. The result: a thriving black market for human eggs.Today, some of the most marginalized Indian women and girls are supplying reproductive material, often with little compensation and at great personal risk. This week on The Sunday Story, NPR correspondent Diaa Hadid and co-reporter Shweta Desai investigate the supply chain of human eggs in India, from fertility clinics catering to the wealthy to the slums of Mumbai and Chennai. And we meet women who have given up some of the most intimate parts of themselves—to survive.To manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

In this episode, we speak with historian Jack Bowsher about his remarkable new book Thunder Run: Meiktila 1945, which tells the extraordinary story of the final battles of the Burma Campaign in the Second World War. While most histories end with the famous victories at Imphal and Kohima, the dramatic reconquest of Burma in 1945 is often dismissed as little more than “mopping up.” In reality, it was the culmination of years of hard-earned experience by the British and Indian armies, fighting in one of the most challenging environments of the war and without the lavish resources seen in other theatres. At the heart of the story is the stunning armoured thrust on the Japanese supply hub at Meiktila—an all-arms blitz of tanks, motorised infantry, artillery, and air power that shattered the Japanese Burma Area Army. It is one of the most remarkable victories of the war, and yet remains one of its least-known battles. Jack'sBook can be purchased here - https://amzn.to/4u8xSNs

Seventeen more maximums resulted as the Indian batters sustained a full-scale assault. Sunil Gavaskar called it a massacre. Simon Hughes, Simon Mann and Deep Dasgupta analyse the match, especially Samson's unique style that eraned him the player of the tournament award. They also assess how any teams could have competed with India's batting expertise and ambition.

Slow down. The story is already there. Photographer, writer, and National Geographic Explorer Arati Kumar-Rao joins us for a conversation about listening, slow storytelling, and documenting a world in transition. Named one of the BBC's 100 Most Influential and Inspiring Women in 2023, her work has been published internationally, exploring the fragile relationship between people and the environments they inhabit. We discuss her long-term project Marginlands and the stories she has documented across India — from the Thar Desert all the way to the Sundarbans — where disappearing groundwater, habitat loss, and environmental change reshape both landscapes and the lives of people and wildlife alike. Along the way, we talk about her journey from corporate life into photography, why patience matters more than speed, and how meaningful storytelling often begins long before the camera is raised. This conversation marks the first of three upcoming talks with remarkable Indian female storytellers, each bringing a different perspective on photography and storytelling. So, grab a coffee, slow things down for a moment, and join us — the kettle's on, and the story's waiting! *****

In this episode of the show, Baldy and Stu look back at the final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, which was played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad between the Black Caps of New Zealand and the 2024 champions India. We start with our instant reactions to India's dominant performance that made them the first team to win back-to-back titles at the Men's T20 World Cup. It's a tough one as Black Caps fans, but all credit to India for the way they played without fear in three crucial matches to finish the tournament and go all the way. There's praise for Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan at the top of the order, as we wonder what - if anything - the Black Caps could have done to stop the Indian batting blitz. For New Zealand there was a brief moment of joy when Jimmy Neesham grabbed three wickets in an over, but Shivam Dube's flurry to finish meant the home side took all the momentum into the innings break. Tim Seifert made a nice start, but once Axar Patel struck with the key wickets of Finn Allen and then Glenn Phillips, it was always going to be tough work for the Kiwis. Jasprit Bumrah finished with 4-15 to claim the player of the match, while Sanju Samson was named player of the tournament. So there we have it - a month of high-quality cricket and plenty of fun for us on the show. New Zealand hearts broken again and India well deserved back-to-back champions in this edition of the 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. We'll be back to regular programming at the weekend to look back at the tournament and look ahead to what's next.

Rosio Sanchéz grew up on Chicago's South Side, the daughter of Mexican immigrants, and went on to become head pastry chef at Noma before making one of the more unexpected moves in modern food: opening a taquería in Copenhagen. Today she runs Hija de Sanchez and restaurant Sanchez, where she's spent more than a decade making the case for Mexican food in Scandinavia—using heirloom corn, indigenous ingredients, and a fine-dining sensibility that's entirely her own. We talk about her highly personal work and what it means to cook Mexican food so far from home. Also on the show, we sit down with Dhriti Arora, the Indian-born Noma-alum chef behind Bar Vitrine, one of the most exciting openings in Copenhagen in recent years. The intimate 16-seat wine bar and eatery is where Dhriti brings her Indian roots into conversation with local, seasonal produce—cooking that feels like it couldn't exist anywhere else in the world.

In 1879, Richard Henry Pratt founded the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, the first federally supported off-reservation boarding school for Native American children. Designed to promote assimilation into American society, Carlisle became the model for the broader system of Native American boarding schools that spread across the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In this episode, I explore how Carlisle operated, the federal policies that shaped it, and the lasting impact of the Indian boarding school system on Indigenous communities.Support the show

Patreon Exclusive: We recorded a bonus video episode where we debate AI-generated “movies,” tech hype vs reality, and launch a new idea for a recurring Rewatchables series. Join us on Patreon to watch and weigh in. In this milestone 300th episode, Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy take stock of Khandaan's journey — from lockdown comfort-listening to surviving pandemics, political chaos, and some truly questionable movie choices (yes, Kyun Ki was #300). We talk honestly about where Bollywood is right now: the lack of joy, the fatigue around current releases, and whether we still want to watch everything. Along the way, we respond to listener mail about Sanjay Leela Bhansali, debate art vs aesthetics, unpack Kohrra Season 2, react to O Romeo, and review The Bluff starring Priyanka Chopra — plus a wider conversation about her Hollywood trajectory and the “action star” box. It's reflective, a little ranty, occasionally bleak, but ultimately grateful — because 300 episodes later, we're still here, still arguing, and still obsessed with desi cinema.

She then completed the Seven Summits by climbing the highest peaks in Antarctica, South America, Europe, and Australia. But when she arrived at Denali — also known as Mount McKinley — in Alaska for her 7th and final summit, she was stopped 400 metres from the top and told she was the weakest member of the team.

Will smaller AI models win over large language models?Sudarshan Kamath grew up in Mumbai, taught himself AI before most Indian companies were even hiring for it, and bought the domain "smallest.ai" for $100 in 2022, two years before the company existed. Today, he runs Smallest AI, a startup focused on real time voice AI.He started with self-driving cars, training large models and compressing them to run on vehicle hardware in real time. That's where he first saw what small models could do: a hundredth of the size, almost no loss in accuracy.Two years later he put in his own $150K, got some GPUs, and started training. Eighteen months later he had a seed round, a Series A, a seven-figure enterprise deal, and a $150M acquisition offer he turned down.Most of the data that goes into large models is noise. Strip it out, train small, and you get a model that matches a giant at a fraction of the size and runs in real time.

In May 1974 India successfully detonated its first atomic device. It had been developed in secret with the codename Smiling Buddha. India called it a peaceful nuclear explosion, though the experimental device was in effect a plutonium bomb. The test was seen as a triumph of Indian science and technology, but it led to the suspension of international nuclear cooperation with India, and spurred Pakistan to speed up development of its own nuclear bomb. Dr SK Sikka, who was one of India's leading nuclear scientists, spoke to Alex Last in 2018 about his role in the secret project. Dr Sikka died in 2023 at the age of 82.

What do people in Iran think about the war? We hear from Iranians across the country who tell us how life is changed.Also, we look at the life of foreign workers living in neighbouring countries, hearing from two Indian construction workers from Qatar. We ask how they are feeling since the war started.But others are willing to pay over $250,000 just to escape from the United Arab Emirates.
In this conversation, Mat McDermott and Devala Rees delve into the complexities of Hinduism, particularly focusing on the Vedas and their role within various Hindu traditions. They explore the misconceptions surrounding the Vedas, the differences between Vedic and non-Vedic traditions, and the significance of Agamas in Hindu practices. The discussion also touches on the legal definitions of Hinduism as interpreted by the Indian Supreme Court, emphasizing the diversity and fluidity of Hindu identity.TakeawaysThe Vedas are ancient compilations of spiritual teachings and philosophies.Not all Hindus view the Vedas as authoritative; many traditions exist outside of Vedic influence.The Vedas are not a singular source of moral commandments like the Bible in Christianity.Hinduism encompasses over 300 different traditions, each with its own sources of knowledge.Agamas, or tantras, are significant texts that many Hindu traditions follow instead of the Vedas.The Indian Supreme Court's definition of Hinduism is not universally accepted among Hindus.Many Hindus practice spirituality without adhering to the Vedas.The concept of temples in Hinduism originates from Agamic traditions, not Vedic ones.Hindu identity is complex and cannot be reduced to a single definition based on Vedic adherence.The Vedas serve as a historical touchstone but do not dictate the practices of all Hindus.Chapters00:00 Understanding the Vedas: An Introduction09:41 The Role of the Vedas in Hinduism19:54 Diverse Perspectives: Vedic vs. Non-Vedic Traditions29:51 Agamas and Their Significance in Hindu Practices39:44 Legal Definitions and the Supreme Court's PerspectiveKeywordsHinduism, Vedas, Agamas, Hindu traditions, spirituality, non-Vedic, religious practices, Indian culture, philosophy Hosted on Acast.

(00:00) — Late to medicine: Chris didn't consider being a doctor until college, shaped by early family experiences with inadequate care.(01:20) — Struggling student to UC Davis: He describes a nontraditional path and surprise at earning a single college acceptance.(02:50) — “You won't amount to much”: A sixth-grade dismissal and falling in with the wrong crowd set the stage.(04:40) — Misdiagnosed and othered: Labeled with severe ADD, placed in special education, later correctly diagnosed with a comprehension disability.(06:25) — Not going the other way: He credits his mother's advocacy and a teacher, Mr. Russell, for keeping him engaged.(09:00) — College reset and new peers: A friend shares MD-PhD resources and expands his horizon.(10:35) — Outreach program to research home: A scholars program places him in a lab with a PI for four formative years.(11:50) — On DEI and mentors: He reflects on access programs and the impact of Dr. Connie Champagne.(13:50) — First OR spark: Shadowing an orthopedic surgeon shows him the excitement of patient care beyond pipetting.(15:40) — Sustaining motivation: Reframing medicine as a currency for service and asking who do I want to be?(17:50) — Community and advocacy: He discusses serving Indigenous communities and advocating on the Hill for GME in Indian country.(20:50) — Crafting the Why: How deep reflection and post-it mapping shaped his personal statement.(21:55) — Why MD-PhD: An MD-PI at a summer program shows how medical training sharpens research questions.(23:30) — First interview relief: Landing an invite during the COVID cycle felt like validation.(24:45) — Strategy and scope: 23 applications, West Coast focus, MSTP and non-MSTP programs.(26:00) — Coherence wins: A clear why plus tangible research output made his application click.(27:45) — Multiple acceptances: He recalls the emotions of earning 9–10 offers.(28:40) — To students doubting themselves: Separate self-worth from others' opinions and keep going.(31:20) — What's next: Interest in dermatology residency and leading a lab studying skin disease mechanisms.Chris never planned on medicine. Growing up in Southern California, he saw family members with preventable disease go uncared for, struggled in school, and was misdiagnosed with severe ADD in middle school before a later diagnosis of a comprehension disability. After being told in sixth grade he wouldn't amount to much, a continuation school, his mother's advocacy, and a teacher's attention kept him afloat.At UC Davis, an outreach email changed everything, placing him in a lab for four years and opening the door to both science and medicine. A friend introduced him to MD-PhD resources, and shadowing an orthopedic surgeon turned interest into excitement. Chris shares how he built an enduring motivation by reframing medicine as a currency for service, with a commitment to community, including Indigenous communities.He breaks down the hardest premed task—articulating Why Medicine—and the post-it exercise that helped him find a coherent thread.

When Bhavitha Mandava got word that she was cast as the Chanel Bride for Matthieu Blazy's highly anticipated Spring 2026 couture show, she approached the role the same way she tackled her research papers at NYU. She headed straight to a Paris library to pore over books on couture and watched every Chanel bride video she could find. “Then I came up with a story in my head. I was like, okay, I'm going to view the audience around me as if they're my friends and family, and I'm going to view the runway as if I'm walking down the aisle.” She told Chioma Nnadi on The Run-Through following her British Vogue cover.Mandava also made history as the first Indian model to open a Chanel show for the Métiers d'Art 2025 2026 fashion show, staged in a New York City subway station. In a full-circle moment, she wore an outfit reminiscent of what she had on the day she was first scouted.“I was on my way to grab biryani with a friend after getting rejected from an interview,” she recalled. “I was waiting for him at Atlantic Avenue when my now ‘mother agent' came up to me and asked, ‘Are you a model?' I said, ‘No.' And he said, ‘Do you want to be one?'”Initially skeptical, Mandava was ultimately persuaded by the prospect of paying off her school debts. Just a few months later, she had fully launched her modeling career and amassed more than 500,000 followers. “My dad is collecting every newspaper,” she said. “He's clipping all the articles about me like The New York Times. I don't even know how he got it. They don't ship to India.”Earlier in the episode, our fashion week coverage continues with Chloe and Arden Fanning Andrews, Vogue's beauty editor-at-large.
