Gold prices have reached record highs this year, resulting in changes in buying habits, investment patterns and traditional customs. For the Fifth Floor, BBC language service journalists reflect on changing practices around gold in their regions and from the BBC's Delhi Bureau, Abhik Deb explains how sky-high prices are making a huge difference to Indian weddings, including his own. Around a fifth of Guatemalans leave their home country to seek economic opportunity abroad, particularly in the USA. The money they send home offers vital support to the families they leave behind, but their earnings are also often used to build luxurious new houses in their hometowns. These homes, sometimes called 'remittance mansions', stand out from the traditional Guatemalan architecture all around them. For BBC Mundo, Atahualpa Amerise went to Guatemala to take a look. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from The Fifth Floor, the show at the heart of global storytelling, with BBC journalists from all around the world. Presented by Faranak Amidi. Produced by Laura Thomas, Caroline Ferguson and Hannah Dean. (Photo: Faranak Amidi. Credit: Tricia Yourkevich.)

This holiday week, we're bringing you two joyful stories from 2025.  Reena Esmail's childhood in Los Angeles had two soundtracks: the Western classical music her parents loved, and the old, scratchy Bollywood tapes her paternal grandparents would play over and over. Those multicultural influences shaped what would become the driving question of her work: how do you invite people from different cultures onto the same stage to build a relationship and create music together? Composing is how Esmail has made her mark — by putting Western classical musicians in conversation with Indian artists, building bridges between violinists and sitar players, tabla drummers and western singers. She has also composed with unhoused singers from Skid Row, and her music has been performed by major orchestras and choirs all over the world. In May, as part of our series on California composers, host Sasha Khokha brought us this profile of Esmail. Artists are often the people in our communities who bring people together in ways that are creative, spontaneous, and surprising. That's true in the East Bay neighborhood of Point Richmond, where a local artist has created dozens of miniature fairy houses brimming with the personality of their imaginary inhabitants. In this story from April, Pauline Bartolone set out to explore these hidden treasures, and meet the person who created them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and West Indies international Kieran Powell look ahead to the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, set to be hosted in India and Sri Lanka next year. With subcontinent conditions, tactical flexibility and tournament experience all in focus, the pair dive deep into what it will take for the West Indies to challenge on the biggest stage in T20 cricket. Kieran Powell names his provisional West Indies T20 World Cup squad, but there's a major talking point a huge question mark over one high-profile West Indies player and whether Cricket West Indies can convince him to commit to the World Cup campaign. Kieran selects a balanced, versatile squad packed with experience, adaptability and players suited to Indian and Sri Lankan conditions, while explaining the thinking behind each selection. The discussion also covers West Indies' expectations at the T20 World Cup, with Kieran breaking down how far he believes the team should realistically go and what success would look like in such a competitive tournament. Jordan Shannon adds his perspective on timing and form, highlighting why he believes Shai Hope is entering the T20 World Cup at the peak of his powers. Jordan explains why this tournament could be a defining moment for Hope, predicting that the West Indies batter is ready to put on a show on the biggest T20 stage of all. A must-listen episode for fans of West Indies cricket, T20 World Cup analysis, squad selection debates, and insightful cricket discussion from those who know the game inside out. #PowettPlayPodcast #CricketPodcast #CricketTalk #CricketAnalysis #T20WorldCup #T20WorldCup2026 #ICCWorldCup #T20Cricket #WestIndiesCricket #Windies #WindiesCricket #CricketWestIndies #ShaiHope #WestIndiesSquad #SquadSelection #CricketDebate #KieranPowell #CricketInsight #IndiaCricket #SriLankaCricket #SubcontinentConditions #NicholasPooran #KyleMayers Learn more about your ad choices.

The award-winning Canadian filmmaker and screenwriter Deepa Mehta has redefined both Canadian and Indian cinema with her bold and groundbreaking films. Earlier this year, she was honoured with a career retrospective at TIFF in Toronto, featuring screenings of 10 of her most prominent films of the past 35 years. Deepa sat down with Tom Power for a career-spanning conversation about her life and work, the backlash to some of her films in India, and why the last thing she wants to be called is a “controversial” filmmaker.

An investigation by The Indian Express, in partnership with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), has revealed how cryptocurrency has increasingly become a channel for money laundering, creating a shadow economy that regulators around the world are struggling to keep up with.In this episode, we speak with The Indian Express's Ritu Sarin, Soumyarendra Barik, and Jay Mazoomdar, who led the India leg of Coin Laundry — a 10 month global investigation involving 113 reporters across 38 newsrooms, including The New York Times. They discuss how crypto exchanges have facilitated illicit transactions, the challenges this poses for law enforcement agencies, and why the Indian government has yet to pass legislation to regulate this industry.Hosted, written and produced by Shashank BhargavaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawar

Let's start off with the Scarecrow's Wedding.别担心，我已经帮你准备好了。让我们从《稻草人的婚礼》开始。Harry loved Betty and Betty loved Harry. So Harry said, Betty, my beauty, let's marry. Many of you may have read the book when you were younger.哈里爱贝蒂，贝蒂也爱哈里。所以哈里说：“贝蒂，我的美人儿，我们结婚吧。”很多人小时候可能读过这本书。It's by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, who also did The Gruffalo.

Have you been doing that at home? It's cool, isn't it?我喜欢妮娜的假壁炉。你家会这样布置吗？是不是很酷？Now, have you ever met someone and known instantly that you're going to be besties? Well, it looks like Nyle and Shanti got that feeling when they met for the first time at Chester Zoo.你有没有遇到一个人，一见面就知道你们会成为最好的朋友？好吧，看起来奈尔和珊缇在切斯特动物园第一次见面时就有这种感觉。They're both extremely rare Asiatic lions, and they've been brought together to help protect the species from extinction.它们都是极其珍稀的亚洲狮，被带到一起是为了帮助保护这个濒危物种。They love playing together in their new home, which is designed to look like the Indian forest where they usually live in the wild.它们喜欢在新家一起玩耍，而新家被设计得像它们在野外生活的印度森林一样。OK, that's all from me and the TV team for this weekend. Don't forget, there's loads more stories on our website, including plans to explore Mars, musical instruments made out of shells, and a way to send us a photo of your Christmas decorations. Take care.好了，这就是我和电视团队本周末的全部内容。别忘了，我们网站上还有更多故事，包括探索火星的计划、用贝壳制作的乐器，还有一种方式可以让你发送圣诞装饰的照片给我们。保重！

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Sangha Penesetti, founder and CEO of goZeal, who didn't just break the glass ceiling—she installed a flexible skylight. Today we'll dive into the economics of equity, why flexible work is not a perk but a performance driver, and how insurers can win by rethinking who gets a seat at the table—and how that table is set. KEY TAKEAWAYS In my early career, every client meeting I walked into was a room full of men. I was the only woman of colour. When I became a mother in 2010 I felt first-hang how unforgiving the industry was, there was no real flexibility, no empathy around new mums (though that may have just been the company I worked for then), and certainly no system that was designed for working mums. During Covid I found my own community: Brilliant, highly educated women, especially Indian and Asian mums, step out of the workforce to raise kids and never return. Not because they lacked ambition, but because the system simply wasn't build for them. That's the moment I realised it wasn't an individual struggle but a systemic design flaw, that's when goZeal was born. We talk about empowerment a lot, but what is empowerment? It‘s the financial empowerment, the capacity for women to have the money to spend on whatever they want be that a Gucci bag or feeding their kids. The data is clear: When women (and especially women of colour) advance, companies become more innovative and perform better financially.  BEST MOMENTS  ‘My experience taught me that being included isn't the same as being empowered.'  ‘Radical inclusion flips the dynamic. It's not about representation, it's about access to meaningful work decision-making authority and economic mobility.' ‘Remote work is not “flexibility.” Flexibility means flexibility of time. I wanted to hire women directly to give them the autonomy of time. Direct impact comes when you are the employer.' ‘True flexibility allows for peak productivity not proximity. When people work at their best insurers benefit from higher quality work, lower burnout, less attrition, stronger retention, all of that good stuff.' ABOUT THE GUEST Sangha Penesetti is the powerhouse founder and CEO of goZeal, a company rewriting the rules of work by directly hiring skilled women, especially women of colour, for high-impact, flexible roles in insurance and tech. With 18 years of experience in finance and insurance, she's lived the challenges of being the only woman at the table—and decided to build her own. Under her leadership, goZeal is more than a talent platform—it's a movement. One that's tackling systemic inequity, modernizing legacy operations, and showing insurers that flexible work is not a perk but a strategic edge. She's here to talk about the real economics of inclusion, why hybrid isn't enough, and how insurers can close talent gaps while building a future-ready workforce. ABOUT THE HOST Sabine is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur. She is the CEO and Managing Partner of Alchemy Crew a venture lab that accelerates the curation, validation, & commercialization of new tech business models. Sabine is renowned within the insurance sector for building some of the most renowned tech startup accelerators around the world working with over 30 corporate insurers, accelerated over 100 startup ventures.

You have surely felt butterflies in your stomach before a big event or had a ‘gut' feeling about something. You might even say you need to ‘digest' some big news. Our stomach is sometimes dubbed the ‘second brain' and it's more than just a metaphor.   The term gained traction in the West in 1999, thanks to Dr. Michael Gershon's book “The Second Brain.” However, the concept isn't new. Ayurvedic medicine, an ancient Indian healing system, has recognized the gut-brain connection for thousands of years. In Ayurveda, the digestive system and the mind are intertwined; a disturbance in one affects the other. This link is embodied in the concept of Agni, or ‘digestive fire,' which pertains to both physical digestion and the processing of emotions and thoughts. Nourishing our Agni with the right foods can make us feel better, both physically and mentally. Where did this idea originate? Is there scientific backing for this brain-gut connection? Can taking care of our gut improve our mental well-being?  In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

AI is changing how people learn languages and India is where the shift is showing up first. Duolingo has scale here but very little conversion. At the same time AI tools now offer practice, feedback, and even conversation for free, while Indian platforms focus on jobs, exams, and real outcomes. In this episode, we look at how language learning is being reshaped in India, why translation is no longer the whole story, and what Duolingo is really defending. Tune in.

The island-wide special customs operations in Hainan province have ignited a tourism and spending surge, which is transforming the free trade port into a new global consumption landmark.海南省全岛实施的特殊海关运作机制引发了旅游与消费的双重增长，正推动海南自由贸易港向全球消费新地标转型。For example, duty-free sales in Sanya exceeded 100 million yuan ($14.2 million) for five consecutive days, said the Sanya Municipal Bureau of Commerce. Specifically, duty-free sales in the city hit 102 million yuan on Monday, following a strong streak that began on Dec 18.例如，三亚市商务局表示，三亚免税销售额已连续五天突破1亿元人民币（约合1420万美元）。具体而言，继12月18日以来的强劲走势之后，三亚周一的免税销售额达到1.02亿元。Analysts attribute the boom to Hainan's evolving trade policies, which are enhancing its appeal as a winter getaway and shopping destination, especially with the New Year and Spring Festival holidays approaching.分析人士将这一增长归因于海南不断优化的贸易政策，这些政策正显著提升其作为冬季度假和购物目的地的吸引力，尤其是在元旦和春节假期临近之际。Travel bookings reflect the strong momentum. Online travel platform Qunar reported a 51 percent year-on-year increase in flight bookings to Sanya for the upcoming New Year holiday, with bookings to Haikou up 19 percent.旅游预订数据反映出这一强劲势头。在线旅游平台去哪儿网数据显示，即将到来的元旦假期期间，飞往三亚的机票预订量同比增长51%，飞往海口的预订量增长19%。International interest is rising sharply. International flight bookings to Haikou for the New Year period jumped over 40 percent, while Spring Festival bookings more than doubled. Travelers from Russia, Singapore, Australia, Malaysia, South Korea and Thailand are leading the surge, signaling Hainan's growing resonance as a global vacation hot spot.国际市场兴趣迅速升温。元旦期间飞往海口的国际航班预订量同比增长超过40%，春节期间的国际航班预订量更是翻倍增长。来自俄罗斯、新加坡、澳大利亚、马来西亚、韩国和泰国的游客成为主要增长来源，彰显海南作为全球度假热点的吸引力不断增强。Dev Bagchi, an Indian businessman, told China Daily that: "We came for business purposes, but later discovered Hainan is also a tourism destination. It's fantastic. It's a very good place. I will tell everybody in India to visit here, very nice people, very nice place. The weather is very good, just like Mumbai. You know, people from India, prefer to go to Europe for their holidays and I would like to tell them to come to China and especially come to this place, Hainan."印度商人德夫·巴格奇在接受《中国日报》采访时表示：“我们原本是因商务来到这里，后来发现海南也是一个旅游目的地。这里太棒了，是一个非常好的地方。我会告诉印度的每一个人来这里旅游，这里的人非常友好，地方也非常好。天气很好，就像孟买一样。你知道，印度人通常更喜欢去欧洲度假，而我想告诉他们，可以来中国，尤其是来这里——海南。”Behind such a tourism and spending surge is a policy breakthrough. According to China's Ministry of Finance, the special customs operations have expanded Hainan's zero-tariff product coverage from 21 percent to 74 percent, with tariff-free items jumping from about 1,900 tariff lines to approximately 6,600.旅游与消费热潮的背后，是一项政策性突破。根据中国财政部的数据，特殊海关运作机制已将海南零关税商品覆盖率从21%提升至74%，免税商品由约1900个税目大幅增加至约6600个。"These measures, combined with streamlined customs clearance procedures, solidify Hainan's competitive edge as a low-cost, high-efficiency trade hub," said Gao Ruifeng, head of Haikou customs. "It becomes a key gateway for foreign goods entering the Chinese market."海口海关关长高瑞峰表示：“这些举措与通关流程的简化相结合，进一步巩固了海南作为低成本、高效率贸易枢纽的竞争优势，使其成为境外商品进入中国市场的重要门户。”The policy impact translated into remarkable statistics from day one. According to Haikou customs, on Dec 18, Hainan's offshore duty-free sales skyrocketed to 161 million yuan, involving 24,800 shoppers and 118,000 purchased items. These figures represented staggering year-on-year increases of 61 percent, 53 percent and 25.5 percent, respectively.政策效应自实施首日便转化为亮眼数据。海口海关数据显示，12月18日当天，海南离岛免税销售额飙升至1.61亿元，涉及2.48万名消费者和11.8万件商品，同比分别增长61%、53%和25.5%。The epicenter of this commercial explosion was the China Duty Free Group's Sanya International Duty Free Shopping Complex. Anchored in a deep integration of "duty-free shopping plus culture and tourism", the mall launched a grand promotional campaign for the occasion, including giving away shopping vouchers. It also specially curated an exclusive VIP salon for foreign visitors, a strategic move designed to transform abstract policy dividends into tangible, experiential benefits and to craft a diversified, immersive new shopping scenario for foreign tourists.此次消费热潮的核心区域是中国免税集团旗下的三亚国际免税购物城。依托“免税购物＋文化旅游”的深度融合，该商场推出了大型促销活动，包括发放购物代金券，并专门为外籍游客打造了专属VIP沙龙。这一战略举措旨在将抽象的政策红利转化为可感知、可体验的实际收益，为外国游客营造多元化、沉浸式的全新消费场景。The result was a comprehensive eruption of market vitality. Data revealed that on Dec 18, customer traffic at the complex exceeded 36,000, a surge of over 60 percent year-on-year, while sales revenue soared by an impressive 85 percent. These standout figures served as a potent testament to the vigorous kinetic energy unleashed by Hainan FTP's institutional innovation.其结果是市场活力的全面释放。数据显示，12月18日当天，该购物城客流量超过3.6万人次，同比增长逾60%，销售额同比大幅增长85%。这些亮眼数据有力印证了海南自贸港制度创新所释放出的强劲动能。A spokesperson from the sales department of the duty-free complex said, "To welcome this historic moment of island-wide special customs operations, we began planning and preparing three months in advance, increasing our inventory to create a high-quality shopping experience for domestic and foreign travelers."该免税购物城销售部门的一位负责人表示：“为迎接全岛实施特殊海关运作这一历史性时刻，我们提前三个月开始策划和筹备，通过增加库存，为国内外游客打造高品质的购物体验。”special customs operations/ˈspeʃl ˈkʌstəmz ˌɒpəˈreɪʃənz/特殊海关运作机制consumption landmark/kənˈsʌmpʃən ˈlændmɑːk/消费地标winter getaway/ˈwɪntə ˈɡetəweɪ/冬季度假目的地tariff line/ˈtærɪf laɪn/税目customs clearance/ˈkʌstəmz ˈklɪərəns/海关通关offshore duty-free/ˈɒfʃɔː ˈdjuːti friː/离岛免税

Professor Toby Wilkinson. Egypt's wealth allowed the Ptolemies to hire mercenaries and engage in arms races involving African war elephants against Seleucid Indian elephants. Despite early military successes like the Battle of Raphia, the dynasty began to decline with the accession of child kings like Ptolemy V, leading to internal factionalism. 1846

PREVIEW THE PTOLEMAIC ARMS RACE: WAR ELEPHANTS AS ANCIENT BATTLE TANKS Colleague Professor Toby Wilkinson. Professor Wilkinson details the military "arms race" between the Ptolemies and Seleucidsinvolving war elephants, the "battle tanks" of the ancient world. He explains how the Ptolemies utilized flighty Africanelephants against their rivals' Indian elephants, creating a strange but critical competition to amass military power.

Long before World War II, the U.S. forced Native Americans onto reservations. After the Pearl Harbor bombing in 1941, the U.S. forced Japanese Americans into camps. In Arizona, the federal government once again looked to Indian reservations. In part two of his series on World War II internment camps in Arizona, KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has more. None of the eight other internment camps in the U.S. were on tribal lands, so why here in Arizona? UCLA anthropology professor Koji Lau-Ozawa has an answer. “John Collier, who was the commissioner of Indian Affairs at the time, advocated for all of the camps to be put on reservation lands. He thought that the Office of Indian Affairs was well suited to this task of managing these confined racialized populations.” The “Indian New Deal”, as FDR called it, was part of the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 and tried making amends for past treatment by investing in tribal infrastructure. That was, until the war effort began. “Funds were starting to dry up. This presented an opportunity.” An opportunity to turn Japanese Americans into a source of prison labor to develop tribal resources, as shown by a 1943 propaganda film narrated by Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's brother, Milton, about an internment camp in western Arizona. Brian Niiya says the U.S. embraced a stereotype. “Japanese Americans, with their supposed expertise and farming and agriculture, could help build up the land that would allow for the Native Americans to benefit from – without the consent of the tribes themselves, of course.” Niiya is editor of Densho Encyclopedia, which chronicles the camps' history. Without much legal representation or political clout at that time, the Gila River Indian Community and Colorado River Indian Tribes both tried fighting camp construction, but failed. “Through the Office of Indian Affairs, I think there was just a thought that we could bulldoze our way through.” Once again, today's federal government is butting up against tribal land. The Trump administration's “Alligator Alcatraz” is being built near the Big Cypress National Preserve and Everglades National Park. “We're right in the middle of it. We have members that live within 500 feet of the detention center. You know, it's not like this distant thing that it is for a lot of Floridians in Naples or Miami.” Talbert Cypress is chairman of the 600-member Miccosukee Tribe, which brought Alligator Alcatraz to a halt. “We don't go to war anymore with the tomahawk or anything like that. You know, we go to courtrooms now, and we go to meetings with politicians.” (Photo courtesy Maxpixel / Boise City Archives, John Hardy Family Collection, MS084) Children across the country are being raised by relatives or close family friends. The Mountain West News Bureau's Daniel Spaulding has more on a new report highlighting the challenges facing these kinship families, which are more common within Indigenous communities. According to the U.S. Government of Accountability Office (GAO), these households are more likely to experience poverty and mental health issues. Kinship families are common in Mountain West states with high Indigenous populations like New Mexico and Arizona. Kathy Larin at GAO says kin caregiving is an important part of tribal culture, but because many Indigenous caregivers are outside the formal foster care system, they often receive less financial support. “One of the biggest challenges that we heard across the board for grandparents and other relatives that are raising, you know, their relative children is just the financial burden of it.” Larin says states could adopt standards and programs designed to better support kinship families.

The Parliament cleared the Repealing and Amending Bill, 2025, which deletes Section 213 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 eliminating the requirement of mandatory probate for certain wills. The amendment removes a dual distinction of geography and religion that has long been in conflict with succession laws in the country, turning probate from a mandatory exercise to an optional one.----more----

The year 2025 closed with a series of consumer rights breaches in the services sector. In early December, IndiGo cancelled and rescheduled flights en masse due to operational mismanagement and pilot scheduling issues.In the securities markets, —Avadhut Sathe Trading Academy was alleged to have misled its students on various counts. And, in a lesser-known incident, a consumer approached the Supreme Court over an incorrect negative credit score that refused to rectify despite previous court orders. In all three cases, an arm of the State intervened, but consumers did not get compensation for the harms they suffered. This underscores a larger faultine: the law has weakened the average Indian consumer by taking away their agency to sue the service provider and obtain relief for themselves. If we're serious about consumer welfare, we must empower them to sue, invidually where possible and collectively, where necessary. Watch this week's column by Bhargavi Zaveri-Shah for #ThePrint

This week on Make It with Mike and Kristen, we're easing into the holidays the way we know best: with stories, laughter, food, and a reminder that there's no one “right” way to celebrate this season.   We chat about our own holiday traditions (and how they've changed over time), visits with friends and family, and a very local hockey game where—let's be honest—the fights were half the reason the crowd showed up. We also talk about cooking a full-on Indian food feast, because sometimes the most meaningful traditions are the ones you make up as you go. And of course, we celebrate a very important date in our household: Mike's Christmas Eve birthday. You're all invited to join us—at least in spirit—for an oval skate to mark the occasion.   This episode is a gentle reminder that Christmas can look wildly different for everyone. Big gatherings, quiet moments, chosen family, solo rituals, cultural traditions, or opting out altogether—it's all valid. We hope this conversation encourages you to celebrate in the ways that actually work for you, not the ways you think you're supposed to.   Make it cozy. Make it yours. And as always—thanks for making it with us.     Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mikeandkristen   Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mikeandkristen   Us on the web: www.mikeandkristen.ca Instagram: www.instagram.com/mike_and_kristen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikeandkristencreative Shoot us a message!

This week Seth Paridon and Jon Parshall take a look at the fall of Singapore in February 1942. After having swept the battlefields from Singora to Muar of British, Australian, Indian, and Malaysian troops in his masterful campaign down the 500-mile-long Malayan island, Japanese General Yamashita stands poised just across the Strait of Johore from Singapore Island and his final conquest. In the single most humiliating defeat in the long annals of British military history, Yamashita takes his outnumbered and outgunned, exhausted army and crushes the last remnants of British honor. By the middle of February, the so-called Tiger of Malaya is victorious having vanquished British General Percival and all comers. The guys get into the weeds on the planning, the attack, the fighting and of course the surrender. Jon puts a bow on the Malaya campaign and sets up what's next for the Japanese in their 1942 Oceanic Blitzkrieg.   #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #essex #halsey #taskforce38 #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #mastersoftheair #8thairforce #mightyeighth #100thbombgroup #bloodyhundredth #b17 #boeing #airforce wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #oldbreed #1stMarineDivision #thepacific #Peleliu #army #marines #marinecorps #worldwar2 #worldwar #worldwarii #leytegulf #battleofleytegulf #rodserling #twilightzone #liberation #blacksheep #power #prisoner #prisonerofwar #typhoon #hurricane #weather #iwojima#bullhalsey #ace #p47 #p38 #fighter #fighterpilot #b29 #strategicstudying #tokyo #boeing #incendiary #usa #franklin #okinawa #yamato #kamikaze #Q&A #questions #questionsandanswers #history #jaws #atomicbomb #nuclear #nationalarchives #nara #johnford #hollywood #fdr #president #roosevelt #doolittle #doolittleraid #pearlharborattack #salvaged #medalofhonor #tarawa #malayalam

JEFFERSON, LUTHER MARTIN, AND THE CANONIZATION OF A FALSE ACCUSATION Colleague Robert G. Parkinson. Thomas Jefferson publishes "Logan's Lament" to argue against French theories of Americaninferiority, but in doing so, he canonizes the false accusation against the Cresap family. This sparks a bitter feud with Luther Martin, a Cresap in-law, who attacks Jefferson to clear the family name. Despite the controversy, the lament becomes a staple in American education through McGuffey Readers because its tragic final line, "Who is there to mourn for Logan?", resonates with the 19th-century political narrative of the "vanishing Indian" and the concept of the "noble savage."

On this episode, Razib talks to Vishal Ganesan and Anang Mittal, two Indian-American Hindus who have been thinking about the role of their faith in the present, and past, of the American social landscape. Ganesan is a California-based attorney and writer who focuses on the history, identity, and representation of the Hindu diaspora in the United States. He is best known for his project "Hindoo History" and his writing on the "Frontier Dharma" platform, which attempts to conceptualize what an American, as opposed to Indian, "Hinduism" might look like. Anang Mittal is a DC-based political communications professional who recently worked for Senator Mitch McConnell. Mittal grew up in India before moving to the US at a young age about 25 years ago. Ganesan, in contrast, was born to an earlier generation of Indian immigrants to the US. He grew up north of Austin, TX. Though their perspectives differ, they both believe that Hinduism and Indian-American identity cannot simply be ported over with no changes into the American cultural landscape. The conversation is centered on two essays, Ganesan's The Meaning and Limits of "Hinduphobia" Discourse in the Diaspora and Mittal's What Hindu Americans Must Build. While Ganesan explores and articulates what it means to be Indian-American and Hindu today in America, and what might mean in the future, Mittal's argument is framed by a deep understanding of American history and how Hindus fit into the bigger arc of history. Razib, Ganesan and Mittal discuss the past, present, and potential future of Hindus and Indians, two separate categories, in America over the course of two hours. Their discussion was triggered by the online controversy over the fact that Vice President J. D. Vance's wife is a Hindu, and he has encouraged her to convert to his Roman Catholic religion (in which their children are being raised). But the discussion extends far beyond matters of contemporary politics, probing what it means to be American, and what it could mean to be a Hindu.

In this Healthy Waves episode, Avik Chakraborty sits down with Anjuly Rudolph to cut through the noise around yoga. They unpack why yoga is not just poses or flexibility goals, and how the original purpose is mind training, nervous system regulation, and emotional balance. Anjuly breaks down what gets lost in modern “fitness-only” yoga culture, shares beginner-friendly entry points for busy people, and explains why breathwork, grounding, and proper relaxation are non negotiable if you want results that actually stick. Expect practical, at-home micro habits you can run for 7 to 14 days to feel a real shift in stress, sleep, and energy. About the Guest: Anjuly Rudolph is a transformational catalyst blending yoga, hypnosis, energy healing, and coaching. Raised with deep yogic roots in an Indian family, she has carried this work across Uganda, Burundi, Syria, Tunisia, and Germany. She also trains yoga teachers in Germany and focuses on making yoga practical, grounded, and culturally respectful. Key Takeaways: Yoga is a full system for mind and energy, not just stretching or fitness. Asanas are only one small part of yoga. The bigger goal is calming mental fluctuations. A beginner does not need flexibility. Lack of flexibility is often the reason to start gently. Simple joint movements can be a low-barrier daily practice for mobility and stress release. Breath awareness is a fast lever for shifting your nervous system state. Grounding at the start of practice helps you actually “arrive” in your body. Final relaxation matters. Skipping it breaks the system and reduces benefits. Yoga Nidra is not the same as lying down quietly. It is a structured practice. Yoga supports emotional processing even when you cannot clearly name the emotion. A practical 14-day test: 2 minutes of conscious breathing morning and night, plus joint movement before sleep.

Welcome to the Indian Summer Sessions. The world's greatest podcast has placed its feet upon the warpath of joy, disclosure, and insight. Not ours, of course. That would be unseemly. We will instead place the Indian war bonnet upon our oddly-shaped heads and chat to interesting people. And ride Indian (https://www.indianmotorcycle.com.au/offers/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA6aW6BhBqEiwA6KzDc8BpHO2oKBbtLbv_RzfQ2JIpwx8oTg6B8ygR44IdK2DM4E5RPQ_MxBoCgjQQAvD_BwE) motorcycles.

https://www.worldmusiccollective.org/InstagramFacebook BioThe World Music Collective is a mixed-instrumentation chamber ensemble featuring internationally recognized performers, composers, and improvisers from Washington, D.C.'s vibrant music scene. Rooted in community and driven by adventurous composition, the group blends jazz, classical, Indian classical, and global traditions through dynamic improvisation. Their latest single, “Caravan,” reimagines Duke Ellington's jazz standard through a rich, multi-instrumental lens where textures shift fluidly and cultures intersect. Led by saxophonist and clarinetist Noah Getz, the six-member ensemble treats improvisation as musical conversation—embracing spontaneity, collaboration, and deep listening. More than a genre, “world music” for the collective reflects a living, communal sound shaped by diverse backgrounds and shared creative exploration.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.
