Over 100 demonstrations will take place that day around the world in solidarity with Palestine, from Johannesburg to São Paulo, Berlin to Kuala Lampur, Athens to Algiers. Meanwhile demonstrations have continued across the world every day. All of this organizing and action flies in the face of the prevailing Western narrative that the world stands with Israel.Washington, DC will be the site of a giant demonstration as part of that International Day of Solidarity. Dozens of organizations are mobilizing people on trains, buses, in carpools and even by plane to attend from as far away as Dallas, TX and San Juan, Puerto Rico.We're joined by Sean Blackmon, a DC- based organizer with the ANSWER Coalition who's mobilizing for November 4th in the city.Support the show

No longer do you need to worry if your mobile phones are near or far from telecom towers. No longer do you need to think about whether you'll get internet access when you are vacationing in some far off place, away from civilization, or up on a mountain or on a cruise ship far away from land.In this episode, Syed Ayan, a fourth grader from Kuala Lampur, Malaysia, explains how all of this will soon come true. He will also explain the story of OneWeb - the company that has launched satellites into space, to bring us this connectivity.Also, to help us make sense of how these satellites work, is a curious adult (and a child at heart) Aditya - who spends some part of his time tinkering with things at Texas Instruments and helps them do stuff that makes 4G and 5G work.Together, Syed and Aditya piece the story of how OneWeb's satellites that were recently launched by the Indian Space Agency ISRO, will help us access faster data speeds.Support the showTo subscribe for your free copy of the newsletter: please click hereIf you would like to get whatsapp alerts about new episodes: please click here To speak on the show as a co-host: follow us on Instagram to find out how If you like what you're listening to, please do support us by contributing whatever you like, and for some exclusive benefitsSend us your comments at hello@wsnt.in.

Alysha has the pleasure of meeting Marc Canter all because she listened to her “Spidey Sense” after Erica O'Grady (Episode 8) told her about Jeff Pulver's networking group (Episode 15) which is how they connected. However, it was after the biggest myrony that connected Daniel Kottke from last week's episode (Episode 17) that Alysha knew meeting Marc was for a greater reason.

On this episode of Round the Rotary Alan Bernard (Senior Vice President - Gyrodata) joins us and dives into his background and how he got started in the oilfield at Gyrodata 32 years ago. He goes into how his mindset of never saying "no", helped him take on challenges and new roles in his career. From a 4 month stint (turned into 11 years) in the Middle East to another position in Kuala Lampur, his experience conducting business in various international assignments showed that taking culture norms into consideration is crucial in being successful. For someone with over 3 decades at the same company, he explains that it is teamwork that allows people to have such long and great careers at Gyrodata. He discusses he focuses on the strengths of his teammates, not the weaknesses, for if you focus on the strengths, the weaknesses will be filled in with other people's talents. His message for the audience is: never stop learning and it isn't your induvial achievements that are important, it's how well you can operate as a team. He concludes it with a rather funny story from his travels abroad at a dinner in China where he didn't know the language and they didn't know his.

When a British Airways flight carrying 248 passengers took off one evening in 1982 heading from Kuala Lampur to Australia, everything seemed fine. But two hours later all of the jumbo jet’s engines shut down and no one knew why. The plane had flown into the ash cloud of the erupting volcano, Mount Galunggung, without realising it. Darin Graham speaks to retired Captain Eric Moody, who flew the plane that night.

MH370 was a Malaysia Airlines flight originating in Kuala Lampur. Its destination was Beijing, China. On the night of March 8, 2014, while flying over the South China Sea, all of its communication equipment was shut off, making it invisible to air traffic control. An hour later, Malaysian military radar tracked the flight heading northwest up the Malacca Strait. Flight 370 was never seen again.

Cities #117 - Kuala Lampur [Deep House - Melodic House] by Benjamin

This is the first episode in a two part series on the ethics of big data and autonomous machines. In this episode we speak with Prof Simon Maskell, Professor of Autonomous Systems at the University of Liverpool. He was involved in the hunt for MH370 which is the Malaysian Airlines plane that went missing less than one hour after take-off from Kuala Lampur on March 8, 2014. It is an interesting case study in the use of big data because it demonstrates the critical role human judgement played in the analysis. The role of human judgement in autonomous systems and the ethics that should guide those judgements will be the subject of our next episode. Discover the potential of big data and analytics and find out more about the University of Liverpool's brand new online MSc programmes in Big Data Analytics and Information Systems Management.

In this episode, I’m talking to the legendary, Chris Pikula. You might have seen him featured in the Magic documentary, Enter the Battlefield. Chris is also famously known as Meddling Mage. Chris became Meddling Mage by defeating Jon Finkel in the finals of the Magic Invitational in Kuala Lampur in the year 2000. Chris shares some incredible stories from the past and also gives some serious words of wisdom from playing with Jon Finkel. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Chris Pikula.

An unseasonable cool front nailed China just as that nasty snowstorm hit the eastern seaboard of the US of A. We got awesome, sub-70s weather in Bangkok, which was a welcome change. And no, we don’t spend the whole show talking about the weather. Because boring. We share two stories on today’s program, one from Bangkok, Thailand and one from Puducherry, India: 1. Shoeless In Siam Music credit: Upbeat Forever by Kevin MacLeod Bangkok is a shoe-obsessed city. People spend thousands of baht (do the conversion yourself) on shoes of all shapes and sizes. Which is weird for Evo, as he’s happy wearing his Chacos everywhere. And which is weird for Sheila, because wearing shoes inside is a no-no. Even in a job interview, as she soon found out. 2. Scratching The Travel Itch  Music credit: Leopard Print Elevator by Kevin MacLeod We hadn’t considered the effect of peer pressure on helping people to travel, but Smriti Modi is counting on it. That’s the gist behind her  travel startup, The Itch List (http://www.theitchlist.com/) . As she says, it’s sort of like a bucket list, but filled with things you’ll actually do. She also shares one of her favorite places to travel in her own home country. We’re off to Kuala Lampur in a few days, so we’re sure to have stories to tell you next week of that adventure. But we’re also going back to Pattaya Beach with some friends who have a drinking problem (we may be that drinking problem) so there’s a chance we’ll forget. Or have something even more interesting to related. Such is our new life! And That's The Show!

Globalization Watch: Stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) “Through this agreement, the Obama Administration is seeking to boost U.S. economic growth and support the creation and retention of high-quality American jobs by increasing exports in a region that includes some of the world's most robust economies and that represents more than 40 percent of global trade.”[1] Statement from the Office of the United States Trade Representative “I think we need to look at the Trans-Pacific Partnership as the neo-liberal arm of the US pivot at Asia. So we have all these countries in South East Asia that basically have more incentive to do business with China….Many policy papers state the importance of South-East Asia in …counterbalancing the influence of China in the region. So that is what I perceive the TPP to be.”  Nile Bowie Lost in the wake of headlines about controversies surrounding Canadian Senators' housing and living expenses and allegations of a Toronto big city Mayor ailing from an apparent crack addiction, is the important negotiations on a major trade and investment deal taking place in Lima, Peru this past week. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) had its origins in the 2005 Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement or the P4 which involved the countries of Brunei, Chile, New Zealand, and Singapore, and was aimed at liberalizing trade in those countries. [2] This deal was expanded in 2008 to include the US in negotiations and by 2009, the TPP began its first round of talks. [3], [4]. There are currently twelve negotiating partners in this comprehensive pact. In addition to the P4, and the US there are Australia, Peru, Vietnam, and Malaysia, with Mexico and Canada having joined the negotiations last October and Japan jumping on board in March. [5], [6] TPP is the latest in a string of numerous free trade agreements that proponents say will generate increased economic activity between and within countries thereby leading to greater prosperity for citizens. [7] Critics of the North American Free Trade Agreement, and its numerous successors argue however that these agreements really are not about trade. They are mechanisms by which corporations with international reach can overcome barriers, regulations, and other restrictions on their profit-making activities. [8] Three critics from three separate countries explain their concerns in this week's instalment of the Global Research News Hour. Stuart Trew, Trade Campaigner for the Ottawa-based Council of Canadians provides his group's analysis not only of the TPP, but also the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement and the Canada-China Foreign Investment Protection Agreement (FIPA). Kristen Beifus of the Washington Fair Trade Coalition dissects the impacts of free trade on Americans and the concerns specific to the TPP. Kuala Lampur-based Nile Bowie provides his analysis of TPP in terms of its impacts on Malaysia where elections have recently been held. His commentaries on TPP appear on the globalresearch website.
