Podcasts about Kathmandu

Kathmandu Coast to Coast Podcast is Back – Season 8 powered by TeamCPNZ!We kick off the show with an essential training fundamental: a deep dive into exercise physiology. How hard should you be training and why for specific sessions over the course of your week and your build up to race day.  To dial this in we need to have a good understanding of the training zones and how your body is creating energy to fuel our movement at each level.  We break down Lactate Threshold and Zone 2 training, explaining how building your aerobic base and anaerobic threshold directly impacts performance and endurance on a course as demanding as the Coast to Coast.After the science, we catch up with Australian athlete Jarred Shein as he took on New Zealand's iconic Coast to Coast for the very first time. Jarred shares the raw reality of his preparation, the intensity of race day, and what it really took to navigate the river in a craft that could only be described as a "yellow submarine."TEAMCPNZ MEDIA HOSTSAngus Petrie – @thecollabcreativeRichard Greer – @ric.greerhttp://www.coasttocoast.co.nzhttp://www.kathmandu.co.nzhttp://www.teamcp.co.nz@teamcpnzhttps://www.facebook.com/teamcpnzrichard@teamcp.co.nz

Satsang owns every master he has ever recorded, and building a career independent enough to keep it that way cost him more than any label deal would have paid. Drew came up through an abusive house, psychedelics at thirteen, addiction and sobriety, then spent every dollar he had on a trip to Nepal instead of the reliable car everyone was waiting for. The band took its name from a stranger's handwritten note outside a Kathmandu ashram. This one lives where ownership meets art — the predatory arithmetic of the record business, and his refusal to let AI near the part of being human that music exists for. What he aimed it all at is smaller and harder than a sold-out room: a son who is proud of him, and the kind of life that leaves people lining up for ten more minutes at the end of it.(00:00) AI Songwriting Rant (00:33) Opening Conversation (02:20) Meet Satsang (05:09) Musical Roots and Skater Influence (07:18) Life Changing Nepal Trek (14:11) Spiritual Influences in Lyrics (18:45) Grinding to Breakout Tours (35:05) Creative Process and Industry Beef (43:31) Owning Your Masters / Social Media Pressure (49:15) Never Quit Mindset (52:11) AI Music and Fake Performers (58:37) Service and Spirituality (01:07:11) Streaming Money Myths (01:09:58) Fatherhood and Real SuccessGuest LinksListen to Elohim on SpotifyListen to Elohim on Apple MusicSatsang on InstagramConnect with UsStart the Free 7-Day Self-Esteem ResetFollow us on InstagramJoin our membership Friends of the TruthWatch All Episodes

VOV1 - Nhiều tuần sau trận lũ quét kinh hoàng biên giới Nepal – Trung Quốc, ngày 16/9, chính phủ Nepal xác nhận, hiện chỉ khoảng 7% thi thể được tìm thấy đã được xác định danh tính. Công cuộc tái thiết sau thảm họa đang đứng trước nhiều khó khăn. Theo Cơ quan Quản lý và Giảm thiểu Rủi ro Thảm họa Quốc gia Nepal, 1.399 người thiệt mạng và khoảng 5.200 người vẫn còn mất tích, trong đó có 636 người nước ngoài trong thảm họa lũ quét kinh hoàng hồi cuối tháng 8 vừa qua. Giới chức Nepal hiện đã thu thập mẫu ADN từ 1.206 thi thể và 1.889 mẫu từ các thành viên gia đình của những người mất tích. Tuy nhiên, đến nay, mới chỉ có tổng cộng 105 thi thể được nhận dạng và bàn giao cho gia đình.Hoạt động tìm kiếm các nạn nhân vẫn đang diễn ra, song trọng tâm nhiệm vụ đang được chuyển sang công tác hỗ trợ người dân bị ảnh hưởng và tiến hành công cuộc tái thiết.Trận lũ quét đã gây thiệt hại nghiêm trọng đối với hệ thống năng lượng tại Nepal. Hơn 12 dự án thủy điện bị ảnh hưởng khiến sản lượng điện trong nước bị sụt giảm mạnh. Nepal đã phải tạm dừng xuất khẩu điện và đề nghị Ấn Độ hỗ trợ nguồn cung phục vụ nhu cầu trong nước.Trước đề nghị của Nepal, Ấn Độ đã phê duyệt việc xuất khẩu tối đa 654 MW điện mỗi ngày, trong thời gian 18 giờ, từ nay đến hết năm 2026. Quyết định này nhằm giúp Nepal đáp ứng nhu cầu điện cấp thiết trong giai đoạn khắc phục hậu quả thiên tai, đồng thời tiếp tục thúc đẩy hợp tác năng lượng giữa hai nước.Về tài chính, Bộ trưởng Tài chính Nepal Swarnim Wagle dự kiến thăm Ấn Độ trong tuần này để thảo luận về khả năng hỗ trợ tài chính, xây dựng lại cầu đường, các công trình năng lượng và những biện pháp thúc đẩy phục hồi kinh tế Nepal.Trong nỗ lực vận động quốc tế, Chính phủ Nepal ước tính chi phí tái thiết sau thảm họa có thể lên tới khoảng 5 tỷ USD, đồng thời kêu gọi các quốc gia giàu và các tổ chức quốc tế hỗ trợ. Kathmandu nhấn mạnh rằng Nepal chỉ đóng góp rất nhỏ vào lượng phát thải khí nhà kính toàn cầu nhưng lại đang phải hứng chịu những tác động ngày càng nghiêm trọng của biến đổi khí hậu.Nepal cũng đang tìm cách tiếp cận các cơ chế tài chính quốc tế về tổn thất và thiệt hại do khí hậu. Chính phủ nước này đã đề nghị Quỹ Tổn thất và Thiệt hại của Liên hợp quốc hỗ trợ khoản bồi hoàn liên quan đến tác động của biến đổi khí hậu, chứ không đơn thuần là viện trợ nhân đạo.Đình Nam/VOV-New DelhiHình ảnh xây dựng cầu đường tại Nepal.

What does it take to turn a single moment of compassion into a lifelong mission? After a career spent supporting children in Vancouver's inner-city classrooms, Patti Shales Lefkos set out on a journey that carried her far beyond anything she'd imagined — into the remote mountain villages of the Nepali Himalaya, where a village asked her to help rebuild a school that was falling down around its students. She didn't promise anything. A year to the day after she stood in that village, the 2015 earthquake flattened it. Host Dr. Laura Scherck Wittcoff talks with Patti about the schools, homes, and scholarships that grew out of that moment, what she learned about listening instead of assuming, and why, at 79 and about to turn 80, she's packing for Kanchenjunga. Guest Patti Shales Lefkos, Founder, Nepal One Day at a Time Society. Following a rewarding career as a teacher, administrator, and advocate for Vancouver inner-city children, Patti studied journalism at Langara College. She's a graduate of the University of Toronto, Toronto Teachers College, Simon Fraser University, and a wilderness leadership program. She is the author of Nepal One Day at a Time: One Woman's Quest to Teach, Trek, and Build a School in the Remote Himalaya and Grounded by Granite, a coming-of-age story of family connection and personal resilience framed by summers on a remote island in the Canadian Shield. A third book, about the 800-kilometre Great Himalaya Trail trek she completed at 77, is currently seeking a publisher. She founded the British Columbia nonprofit Nepal One Day at a Time Society to support education, health care, and home building in Nepal, and lives near Silver Star Mountain in the BC interior. What is Nepal One Day at a Time Society? A small British Columbia nonprofit that funds education, health care, and home building in remote Nepali villages — the kind of places that sit at the end of the road, where children walk two hours each way to reach a classroom and the nearest bookstore is a two-day journey to Kathmandu. The organization works through long-standing relationships with a Nepali trekking company and its affiliated NGO rather than parachuting in. Two partner schools. The first, whose original 55-year-old building had a condemned top floor and rain coming through into the classrooms below, now runs kindergarten through grade ten and serves roughly 350 students. The second, a small primary school in the far northwest reached during the Great Himalaya Trail trek, serves about 150 children in classrooms with dirt floors and bare cement walls. Three homes rebuilt after the earthquake, at roughly $15,000 USD each — a two-room house with an outdoor bathroom and a front porch, built to post-earthquake standards with rebar corners. Student sponsorships. Rosina, sponsored from grade five in the village, is now 23, has graduated in physiotherapy, and lives in Australia. The guide's 12-year-old son is next. School supplies and technology. A first gift of $500 for library books — the school had none — followed by $6,000 for supplies, more books, and three computers for a staff that had none. Low overhead. The partner NGO is staffed by young people from the region who handle administration through the trekking company, keeping admin costs to roughly 3–5%. Funded by Rotary clubs in Vernon, BC, and Kingston, Ontario, profits from Patti's books, photo art cards of Nepal and Tibet, speaking engagements, and individual donors. Key Topics Covered A book in grade ten, and forty years of waiting. Patti grew up an outdoor kid on an island with no electricity, drinking straight from the lake, long before screen time. Then a novel on the grade ten curriculum — Lost Horizon — put the magic of the Himalaya in her head, and she filed it away. A year of high school in Switzerland got her a passport and a taste for adventure, and then she did all the expected things: university, teachers college, a career. It was only after retiring, and after journalism school, that she and her husband picked up passports again and started walking. A coast-to-coast hike across England was the shakedown. Tibet was next, including a three-day circumambulation of sacred Mount Kailash at an altitude she'd never experienced. She was hooked. The decision to go alone. They'd planned to return to Nepal together to visit their guide's and porter's villages and volunteer as teachers. Days before departure, her husband ruptured his Achilles tendon. Friends and family were getting sick. Her reasoning was blunt and worth hearing: you don't know what will happen to you next. With her husband's blessing, and with the same guide and company guaranteed, she went by herself. "Would you help us build a school?" After her volunteer teaching, her guide Raj took her to a village at the end of a road that had never received outside help. The school building was 55 years old, built by the villagers themselves. The top floor was condemned. They were still using the main floor, with rain coming through from above. The villagers asked her directly. Her honest first thought: they think all Westerners are rich — what could I possibly do? She promised nothing and went home to think. A year to the day, while still in Nepal, she'd met a Buddhist monk in Upper Mustang who was building a school for children with no access to education at all, funding it by giving teachings in Singapore five months a year. That conversation about what was possible stayed with her. She came home, mulled it over, looked into what starting a nonprofit would take — and then, a year to the day after she'd stood in that village, the earthquake hit. The area she'd visited was at the epicenter. Every home in the village was gone. Her husband, an outdoor guy who hates computers, built a slideshow. They showed it at Silver Star Mountain and raised $1,000 the first night. Then she joined her local Rotary Club, and everything scaled from there. Coffee, tea, and the discipline of listening. The most transferable lesson in the episode, and it comes from Vancouver, not Nepal. Trying to get parents involved at an inner-city school, Patti's team put out coffee every morning for the grandmothers dropping off the primary kids. They didn't want coffee. They wanted tea. She carries that into every village: don't decide what people need. Ask them. When she stood on that school playground in northwestern Nepal, the question she asked was simply, " Do you have any library books? Would you like some"? Being told about her own privilege, Patti recounts a former staff member giving her what she describes as a long lecture — that as a white, middle-class woman whose parents and grandparents went to university, she was operating from privilege. Her response, decades later and on the record: "that was really good for me to hear." Laura connects it to the reason the relationship works — the villages hold parades for her, which is not how a colonial dynamic looks. How she vets where the money goes: Patti admits she was long reticent about charities and what share actually reaches the work. Her answer has been to build relationships rather than write checks: a good feeling about the head of the trekking company that a first trip confirmed, a principal who traveled two days to Kathmandu to buy books and sent photos back, a guide who translates and vouches, and a partner NGO whose admin is handled by local young people at a few percent of the total. 800 kilometres at 77 In 2023, believing they had one last long trek in them, Patti and her husband designed their own route on the Great Himalaya Trail, which runs the length of Nepal. They walked 800 kilometres over 75 days with a guide, a cook who had cooked as high as Camp Two on Everest, and a donkey man with five or six animals carrying food and camping equipment. In the first 50 days they met perhaps seven or eight other Westerners — which is exactly what they wanted, because it meant being with Nepali people the whole way. She journaled daily and photographed a wipe-off sign each night recording the day number, kilometres walked, total distance, and altitude. Why she doesn't trek with big groups anymore On the Tibet trip, a man on their trek died of altitude sickness — a man who had climbed Kilimanjaro the year before. On her first Nepal trek, feeling sick at 12,000 feet, Raj simply said they'd stay put another day and see. She was fine. In a group of thirty, she notes, you're pressured forward: go ahead when you don't want to, or lose the group. Being able to make your own call is the whole point.

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Eric Olander, co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The China Global South Project... one of the world’s most respected independent platforms tracking China’s engagement across Africa, Asia and the developing world. We begin with the India–China reset ahead of the BRICS Summit in New Delhi. As the world grapples with the Ukraine and Iran wars, U.S.–China rivalry, and President Trump’s second administration, India’s long‑standing strategy of “strategic autonomy” looks like the model everyone else is trying to copy. But applying that philosophy to BRICS leadership is far more complicated. Then to Washington, where Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit, complete with a summit and state dinner with President Trump, may reshape conversations around trade, AI, EVs, aerospace, and regional security. Eric breaks down what both sides want, and what neither can afford to lose. Finally, Nepal’s extraordinary disaster diplomacy. Kathmandu carefully manages foreign rescue teams to avoid becoming a stage for India–China competition.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sarthak Nepal, currently in Australia, recounts the ordeal his brother Ashish Nepal endured during the 24 hours before he was rescued from the devastating floods in Rasuwa. - हाल अस्ट्रेलियामा रहेका अर्थोपेडिक सर्जन सार्थक नेपालले रसुवाको बाढीबाट २४ घण्टा पछि उद्धार गरिएका आफ्ना दाइले यस बिचमा भोगेका चुनौतीबारे एसबीएस नेपालीलाई बताएका छन्।Orthopaedic surgeon Sarthak Nepal was in Australia for work-related training when news of the devastating floods in Nepal raised immediate concerns about his brother, an engineer working at the Upper Trishuli Hydropower Project in Rasuwa. After losing contact with his brother, the family was relieved to receive an SMS confirming he was safe, but only later learned about the 24-hour ordeal he endured during the disaster. Although his brother eventually reached Kathmandu safely, Nepal says the experience has highlighted the pain families endure when separated from loved ones during disasters. He also stresses the need to pay greater attention to the mental health of frontline workers dealing with death, injuries and trauma.

“The scale and suddenness of this flood have left many families facing immense uncertainty and hardship.” says Roslyn Gabriel, World Vision's National Director in Nepal. The death toll from the floods that have swept the border region between Nepal and Chinese-controlled Tibet continues to rise, along with the intense rescue effort. But Nepal must also rebuild the villages in the path of the flood or rehouse people who've moved to the capital, Kathmandu. Hundreds of children have also reportedly been made orphans.PLUSAlmost every UN member country has signed covenants to guarantee human rights. But what happens when there's a clash of rights, such as personal identity versus religious liberty? Some battles end in the courts but official human rights agencies are trying to balance these claims. The Templeton Foundation is funding a $1.2 million global study of the issue. ANDIt's five years since the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan, erasing, almost overnight, the human rights gained in the previous 20 years. A western occupation had its problems – a Brown University study found it cost allied powers around $2 trillion – but for two decades it empowered many women and girls to live as full citizens. Now they face what Afghanistan's former human rights chief is calling a “femicide”. GUESTS:Roslyn Gabriel is the National director of World Vision NepalNicholas Aroney is Professor of Constitutional Law at The University of QueenslandShaharzad Akbar is a human rights activist from Afghanistan, currently in exile and a Visiting Scholar at Wolfson College, OxfordAustralians can support World Vision's Nepal emergency appeal at the World Vision Australia website: Nepal emergency flood appeal | World Vision AustraliaAlso the ABC is supporting the Emergency Action Alliance member charities and their local partners. Your donation will help provide food, water, financial support, emergency shelter and aid to those in need. Go to ABC.net.au/gives to find out more and donate.Nepal-Tibet Floods - ABC Gives

China's second batch of emergency humanitarian aid for Nepal's mudslide relief efforts arrived in Kathmandu on Tuesday, following devastating mudslides triggered by a glacier collapse on Aug 26.中国第二批援助尼泊尔泥石流救灾工作的紧急人道主义物资于周二运抵加德满都。8月26日，尼泊尔发生冰川崩塌并引发严重泥石流灾害。The shipment weighed about 5.8 metric tons and included urgently needed supplies such as water purification and lighting equipment, genetic testing equipment and drones, according to Luo Feiyu, a staff member with the China International Center for Economic and Technical Exchanges under the Ministry of Commerce.据中国商务部国际经济技术交流中心工作人员罗飞宇介绍，这批援助物资重约5.8吨，包括灾区急需的净水和照明设备、基因检测设备以及无人机等。The supplies were urgently sourced, consolidated and transported overnight through coordination between the Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of Customs, the China International Development Cooperation Agency and other departments, Luo said.罗飞宇表示，在中国外交部、商务部、海关总署、国家国际发展合作署等部门协调配合下，这批物资紧急筹措、快速集结，并连夜运往尼泊尔。Five experts from Shenzhen also departed for the disaster-hit areas in Nepal on Tuesday.与此同时，来自深圳的5名专家也于周二启程前往尼泊尔受灾地区。Chinese DNA identification experts will also travel to the affected areas to assist Nepal with its relief efforts, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a regular news conference on Tuesday.中国外交部发言人郭嘉昆周二在例行记者会上表示，中方DNA鉴定专家也将赴灾区，协助尼泊尔开展救灾工作。A sudden glacier collapse in Nepal's border area on Aug 26 triggered severe mudslides, causing significant casualties and leaving many people missing in both China and Nepal.8月26日，尼泊尔边境地区突发冰川崩塌，引发严重泥石流，造成中尼两国大量人员伤亡和失踪。According to the latest figures as of 1 pm on Tuesday from Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority, the death toll had risen to 1,003, while 3,916 people remained missing.据尼泊尔国家减灾与管理局最新数据，截至周二下午1时，灾害已造成1003人死亡，另有3916人失踪。As rescue and relief operations continued on the Chinese side of the border, China moved quickly to provide emergency assistance to Nepal.在中国境内一侧持续开展抢险救援工作的同时，中方迅速行动，向尼泊尔提供紧急援助。China has provided $2 million in emergency cash assistance to the Nepalese government, while the Red Cross Society of China has provided $200,000 to Nepal's Prime Minister Disaster Relief Fund, according to the Chinese embassy in Nepal.据中国驻尼泊尔大使馆介绍，中国已向尼泊尔政府提供200万美元紧急现汇援助，中国红十字会还向尼泊尔总理救灾基金提供20万美元援助。The first batch of 13,200 relief items, weighing 50 tons and including tents, blankets, sleeping bags, compressed food and first-aid kits, arrived in Kathmandu on Sunday. Two teams of Chinese tunnel rescue experts have also reached the disaster-hit areas in Nepal.首批援助物资已于周日运抵加德满都，共计1.32万件、重50吨，包括帐篷、毛毯、睡袋、压缩食品和急救包等。目前，两支中国隧道救援专家队也已抵达尼泊尔受灾地区。"Providing emergency assistance to the disaster-hit areas in Nepal and carrying out international rescue cooperation is an important political decision made by China and reflects China's friendship with Nepal," Guo said at a news conference on Tuesday.郭嘉昆在周二的记者会上表示：“向尼泊尔灾区提供紧急援助、开展国际救援合作，是中方作出的一项重要政治决定，体现了中国对尼泊尔的友好情谊。”He noted that China and Nepal have long maintained sound cooperation in meteorology, water resources and disaster prevention and mitigation.他指出，中尼两国长期以来在气象、水资源以及防灾减灾等领域保持着良好合作。"Since the disaster occurred, China and Nepal have maintained smooth communication on personnel search and rescue, information sharing and the prevention of secondary disasters. China has continued to provide Nepal with meteorological and hydrological data, conduct professional consultations and provide relevant early-warning information," he said.“灾害发生以来，中尼双方在人员搜救、信息共享和防范次生灾害等方面始终保持顺畅沟通。中方持续向尼方提供气象、水文数据，开展专业会商，并提供相关预警信息。”郭嘉昆说。China will continue to support Nepal's disaster relief efforts and deepen cooperation with the country in disaster prevention and mitigation to safeguard the shared interests of the two peoples, he added.他表示，中方将继续支持尼泊尔开展救灾工作，进一步深化两国在防灾减灾领域的合作，共同维护两国人民的共同利益。emergency humanitarian aid / ɪˈmɜːdʒənsi hjuːˌmænɪˈteəriən eɪd / n.紧急人道主义援助mudslide / ˈmʌdslaɪd / n.泥石流；山体滑坡glacier collapse / ˈɡlæsiə kəˈlæps / n.冰川崩塌relief efforts / rɪˈliːf ˈefəts / n.救灾工作；救援行动casualty / ˈkæʒuəlti / n.伤亡人员；伤亡death toll / ˈdeθ təʊl / n.死亡人数；死亡人数统计disaster prevention and mitigation / dɪˈzɑːstə prɪˈvenʃn ænd ˌmɪtɪˈɡeɪʃn / n.防灾减灾

Nepal's Foreign Minister says the bodies of hundreds of flood victims have been recovered. But there is not enough space in the country's morgues - so its asking for international help to get freezers to preserve the bodies. Those catastrophic floods have killed more than 670 people in Nepal and Tibet. Nearly 3,000 people are still missing, including 31 Canadians. CBC News is on the ground in Kathmandu with the latest developments.Also: Spies, as a general rule, don't like to draw attention to themselves. Which is why a conspicuous visit to Moscow this week by the top U.S. spy has set European capitals abuzz. CIA director John Ratcliff delivered a message to members of Russia's security apparatus on Wednesday. The content of that message - and why it needed to be delivered in person - remain a mystery.And: Donald Trump's order this week to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America is inspiring a wide range of reactions. Everything from anger to eye rolls. The debate over naming, though, is obscuring another issue - the need for Canada and the U.S. to work together in protecting the Great Lakes. The cooperation is ongoing, but some American scientists say the work on their side is being hindered.Plus: The U.S. and Venezuela's oil deal, Dozens killed in Russia's latest drone strike on Kyiv, and more.

We reach an aid worker in Kathmandu whose teams are working nonstop to reunite children separated from their parents by this week's flash floods. An Ottawa company rushes to create a hat emblazoned with "Lake Ontario," and tells us they're finding plenty of customers in Canada... and beyond. A reporter untangled the complex criminal web that is fueling a car theft boom in Canada — and reveals where those pilfered vehicles are ending up. For years, archaeologists in Nova Scotia have tried to find the remnants of one of the first grain mills in North America. An amateur historian tells us why he thinks he's getting very close. One New Yorker shares why he's made it his mission to measure exactly how sweltering it is in the subway stations below the city's streets — and to offer some relief to sweltering commuters. As It Happens, the Friday Edition. Radio that's never afraid to break a sweat.

Zwei Tage nach der Flutkatastrophe in Nepal versuchen die Menschen weiterhin, ihre Angehörigen zu finden. Sie wenden sich an Spitäler und hoffen, dort auf Listen fündig zu werden.

A chunk of Himalayan ice snapped off at about 17,000 feet and turned into what Nepal's disaster chief called a “tsunami from the sky.” Watch what happened. Around 8:40 a.m. Wednesday, the collapse smashed into a valley, dammed the Lhende River, then let go. A 33-foot wall of water, mud, and debris tore down the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli. Villages were wiped out. About 25 miles of road and 19 bridges are gone. At least 273 people are dead. More than 1,300 are missing. U.S. Geological Survey first reported a 4.4 earthquake north of Kathmandu, then said the seismic reading was the glacier and the debris flow — no quake. This is not a distant postcard. Nepalese officials say 63 American citizens are among the missing, including a California couple on a Mount Kailash pilgrimage. More than 5,000 army and police are in the search.

The scale of the devastation in Nepal is becoming clearer, as the number of people who have died, and the number missing, continues to grow. World Vision Nepal's National Director Roslyn Gabriel is on the ground in Kathmandu and spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

This episode is a re-release; it originally aired on March 8, 2015. Best-selling author and travel writer Pico Iyer discusses the benefits of bringing stillness into our lives. Pico, a lifelong traveler who has journeyed all over the world, from India to Ethiopia to Cuba to Kathmandu, realized our lives are crowded, chaotic and noisy. He says there has never been a greater need to slow down, tune out and give ourselves permission to be still. Pico walked away from a successful career writing for Time magazine in New York City, where he worked on the 25th floor and had a nice apartment on Park Avenue. "I was making a great living, but that's not the same as making a life," Pico says. In his book "The Art of Stillness: Adventures in Going Nowhere," he writes about the unexpected adventure of staying put and that sitting quietly in a room just might be the ultimate adventure. Pico also reveals how we can take our feelings of home with us wherever we go. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In ecommerce we're often asked to build a whole new house while making the existing one bigger and better at the same time. That's a replatform. You're not pausing trade while you move across, you're still hitting the numbers and running the sales while shifting the entire business onto a brand new site.Here's the thing almost everyone gets wrong: the platform is the easy bit. A big replatform doesn't blow out because of the technology. It blows out because you try to build the shiny new tech while still running and growing the business with the same people. The teams that get through it are deliberate about resourcing the project properly, holding a hard scope and a hard date, and keeping their partners in the room.This Playbook is anchored by a conversation with Craig Mildenhall, GM of Digital at Kathmandu, whose team moved the whole business off Magento onto Shopify Plus in four months and went live in the middle of a flash sale, something their agency had never seen done before.This episode is brought to you by StudioHawk. Grab the Chosen, Not Clicked white paper, StudioHawk's free eCommerce AI Visibility Toolkit and a personalised SEO & AI Search Masterplan for your brand at http://studiohawk.com.au/add-to-cartIn this playbook, we cover three things ecommerce operators need to know about replatforming without stalling the business:Resource the project properly by splitting into a build crew and a trade crew, don't squeeze it in around the day jobGo live with better, not perfect, hold your date, and let the rest be a little bumpyKeep your partners in the room solving things on the spot, and let the tickets be the paper trail, not the conversationConnect with Craig Mildenhall Explore KathmanduSubscribe to the Add To Cart newsletter  SMS us to Suggest a Guest Connect with Nathan Bush Join the Add To Cart Community 

Born in Makwanpur, south of Kathmandu in Nepal, the para taekwondo champion came to Australia for a holiday. Now she's chasing a Paralympic medal for Australia in the LA28 Games. - केही वर्ष अगिसम्म चन्द्र र सूर्य अङ्कित नेपाली झण्डा मुनि बसेर सन् २०२२ मा साउदी अरेबियाको रियादमा आयोजना भएको ‘वर्ल्ड पारा तेक्वान्दो ग्राँ प्रि'मा नेपाललाई ऐतिहासिक स्वर्ण पदक दिलाउन सफल २६ वर्षीय सृजना घिसिङलाई अस्ट्रेलियाले आफ्नो बनाएको छ।Under special powers, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke expedited Srijana Ghising's citizenship application so she could compete for Australia at upcoming tournaments. She officially became an Australian citizen at a ceremony in Melbourne's inner-west in June, just in time to represent Australia for the first time at the Gangwon-Chuncheon 2026 World Para Taekwondo Open Challenge in South Korea earlier this month. The 26-year-old has now set her sights on the 2028 Paralympic Games to be held in Los Angeles.
