STREET FIGHTER & RAMAYANA TRAILER REACTIONS!! Jason Momoa's Blanka brings electric chaos before Ranbir Kapoor and Yash face off in an epic IMAX take on the Ramayana! Aaron Alexander & Andrew Gordon react to new footage from Street Fighter and the official Ramayana: Part 1 trailer. Street Fighter, directed by Kitao Sakurai, stars Andrew Koji as Ryu, Noah Centineo as Ken, Jason Momoa as Blanka, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, Callina Liang as Chun-Li, and Roman Reigns as Akuma. The footage highlights Blanka's electric powers, claws, and a brutal arena fight with Ryu. Ramayana: Part 1, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, stars Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, and Sunny Deol as Hanuman. With music by Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman and VFX by DNEG, the trailer showcases massive battles, mythic creatures, emotional stakes, and stunning IMAX visuals. After Street Fighter, Aaron and Andrew break down the creative direction of Blanka's design and how the film balances darker, more intense elements with a lighter, more playful tone. They discuss Momoa's portrayal, the energy of the action, the visual effects, and how characters like M. Bison and Ryu are being adapted for the big screen, along with speculation about iconic moves and overall tone. Ramayana, on the other hand, stands out for its scale and cinematic ambition. Both highlight its emotional storytelling, sweeping visuals, and mythic scope, with comparisons to other large-scale fantasy epics and interest in the central conflict between Rama and Ravana. The trailer's music, action, and IMAX presentation are also key talking points, along with how effectively it introduces the story to a wider audience.

This is the fourth stop on our five-part audio guide to Asheville, North Carolina, and it may be the tastiest one yet. In this episode of Unpacked by Afar, host Aislyn Greene digs into Asheville food, and the surprising reason this mountain city punches so far above its weight at the table. Aislyn joins a walking food tour with Sita of Eating Asheville, eating her way through a town where farm to table isn't a slogan but a fact of geography. Along the way she: Discovers that Asheville food can be a real relief for anyone with dietary restrictions at the celiac-run kitchen of Strada Italiano Hears the moving, Helene-shaped story behind Mehfil from its owner, Raj Tastes mountain-grown rice at the farm-to-table cornerstone Table with chef Catherine Smedley Forages Appalachian flavors at Luminosa And finishes with a former science teacher turned chocolatier, Melissa Quinn, at Asheville Chocolate. It's a scene built on tight relationships between kitchens and the farms a few ridges away, where the rice on your plate might have been grown just up the road, and where a devastating hurricane the year before only deepened the sense that these restaurants belong to their community. But great Asheville food is also a question of who gets to make it, and whose history gets remembered. In a segment on the region's Black foodways, Aislyn talks with two of the city's most celebrated chefs, Ashleigh Shanti of Good Hot Fish and Rakim Gaines of Capella on 9, about Affrilachian cooking, representation behind the stove, and the stories layered into every plate. Their conversation is a reminder that a food town's story has to include the people history has too often left off the menu. It all adds up to a rich piece of cultural travel and a portrait of one of the best small food towns in the country. Whatever you come hungry for, consider this your guide to where to go and what to know. Unpacked by Afar is a travel podcast that unpacks one destination at a time, with a real love of food and travel. This Asheville audio guide has one more episode to go, so look for it in the feed.

Perdre un bagage à l'aéroport n'est plus seulement une frustration pour les voyageurs, c'est un gouffre financier qui menace la rentabilité même des compagnies aériennes.Le dernier rapport annuel de la SITA, l'organisation internationale créée en 1949 qui fournit des services de communications et des services informatiques à l'industrie aéronautique, révèle que la mauvaise gestion logistique des bagages coûte plus de 5 milliards d'euros par an au secteur.Analysons ce défi industriel en trois points sous l'angle de la transformation numérique.230 euros en moyenne par incidentAujourd'hui, la perte d'un bagage s'établit pour les compagnies aériennes à 230 euros en moyenne par incident.Et dans une industrie où le bénéfice net moyen n'est que de 7 euros par passager, un seul bagage mal acheminé suffit donc à effacer la marge générée par un peu plus de trente sièges vendus.Autrement dit, cinq erreurs sur un seul vol annulent purement et simplement sa rentabilité globale.À l'heure où le trafic aérien mondial franchit le cap historique des cinq milliards de voyageurs, l'efficacité de la logistique devient donc un levier de survie financière.La puissance des écosystèmes Apple et GoogleMais la véritable rupture de cette année tient à l'interconnexion globale des écosystèmes et des données.L'époque des silos informatiques est définitivement révolue. L'intégration d'API ouvertes et le partage d'informations en temps réel entre les systèmes propriétaires industriels et les technologies grand public devient une réalité.L'exemple le plus frappant est l'ouverture de la plateforme WorldTracer aux réseaux de localisation Localiser d'Apple et Find Hub de Google.En permettant aux passagers de partager la position de leurs objets connectés, le secteur a vu le nombre de bagages perdus chuter de 90% dès la première année.Une seconde par bagageEnfin, face à des infrastructures aéroportuaires physiques qui saturent, la réponse n'est plus de construire de nouveaux terminaux mais passe par le code informatique.L'intelligence artificielle et l'automatisation logicielle transforment en effet les hubs en plateformes agiles capables d'absorber la croissance du trafic.Prenez l'exemple de Thai Airways, en intégrant une solution de réacheminement automatisé, la compagnie a réduit le temps de traitement des correspondances manquées de trois minutes à une seule seconde par bagage.Trois quarts des acteurs du secteur prévoient d'ailleurs d'investir massivement dans l'IA d'ici deux ans, poussés par l'obligation réglementaire.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

Penggeledahan kasus dugaan korupsi yang ditangani Kortas Tipidkor Polri terus berlanjut.

Smound. Dat woord kende je waarschijnlijk nog niet. Maar het beschrijft iets wat je elke dag ervaart: de manier waarop geur en geluid elkaar raken, versterken en oproepen.In deze aflevering van Radio Swammerdam gaat presentator Sita Bouman op zoek naar het meest onderschatte zintuig dat we hebben.Sita spreekt Caro Verbeek, geurhistoricus aan de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam en pionier op het gebied van smound (de plek waar ruiken en luisteren samenkomen). Caro reconstrueert historische geuren en bewijst dat geur en geluid in de hersenen nooit ver van elkaar zijn. Want waarom hebben we eigenlijk geen taal voor geur? En wat gebeurt er als geluid een geur oproept?Ook is er Flora van Dullemen, kunstenares en olfaction DJ. Zij studeerde bij Caro Verbeek en maakt nu zelf werk met geur als kunstvorm. Hoe componeer je iets wat verdampt? En wat kan geur dat andere kunstvormen niet kunnen?Tijdens de uitzending is er een live reuktest. Want over geur praten is één ding. Het is wat anders als je het ruikt.Radio Swammerdam - 05/07/2026Gast: Caro Verbeek, Flora van Dullemen en Amos BoumanPresentatie: Sita BoumanTechniek: Sita Bouman----------Radio Swammerdam is hét wekelijkse radioprogramma over Amsterdamse wetenschap sinds 2 mei 2010.

How can longing be ecstasy? How can absence be the deepest form of presence? This is one of the great mysteries of love — and bhakti yoga illuminates it. When Ram banished Sita, it looked like abandonment. When Krishna disappeared from the Rāsa Dance, it looked like cruelty. But a saint follower of Rama revealed the secret to Radhanath Swami: love driven inward by separation reaches special depths. In union the beloved is found in one place. In separation the beloved is found everywhere. What looks like pain from the outside is the most profound bliss from the inside.

Amrita Chowdhury and Ujaan Ghosh bring into English for the first time a long-inaccessible masterpiece of South Asian literature Baidehisha Bilasa: The Amorous Plays of Sita's Husband (2025). Composed in the late seventeenth century by Upendra Bhanja — the Odia prince-poet hailed as Kavi Samrat, the Emperor of Poets — the work is a Ramayana that privileges shringara, the erotic sentiment, over martial heroism. Rama-the-lover overshadows Rama-the-warrior, and his conjugal life with Sita takes center stage in a poem dense with puns, classical ragas, and chitrapadya — word-arrangements that resolve into wheels, chariots, and arrows on the page. Famously, every verse begins with the letter ba, and the text has long been considered untranslatable. With a preface by Wendy Doniger, Chowdhury and Ghosh's decade-long translation preserves the strangeness and sensuality of the original while opening it to a new readership.

In this emotional episode from the epic Ramayana, Hanuman searches tirelessly for Mother Sita in Lanka. At first, he feels hopeless and says, “I cannot see Sita.” But he does not give up. With faith and determination, Hanuman searches once again and finally finds Sita just when she is about to lose hope. Through courage, devotion, and persistence, Hanuman becomes the messenger of hope and saves Mother Sita.A powerful story about never giving up, even in the darkest moments.

Svet zmeraj bolj prepričljivo prepljavlja epidemija debelosti, obenem pa imamo zmeraj več znanja in priporočil na področju gibanja in zdrave prehrane; toliko, da se včasih zdi preveč! Ali na področju športa in prehrane sploh še obstajajo enostavni, zanesljivi koncepti? In kako po eni strani skrbeti za grajenje mišične mase, po drugi pa izgubiti odvečno maščobo?

“Tulsidas says that the Lord is looking especially beautiful joined with Sita and Lakshmana. The demigods are happily showering flowers from the sky, and the whole place has a good aura and good qualities.” (Dohavali, 2)

“The Deities of Radha and Krishna, Lakshmi and Narayana, and Rama and Sita are very attractive to devotees, so much so that when they see the statue decorated in the temple of the Lord they become fully absorbed in thought of the Lord. That is the state of liberation.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 3.25.36 Purport)

In this Shakti Story we explore Sītā as Maha Shakti — the living force of consciousness in the Ramayana. Sītā is often remembered as the devoted wife of Rāma, but in Tantra, she is revealed as something far greater.She is Śakti herself—the living force of consciousness, the Divine Feminine that moves, sustains, and transforms all of existence.In this teaching, we go beyond the outer story of the Rāmāyaṇa and enter its inner meaning:The abduction by Rāvaṇa as the separation of Śakti from consciousnessThe fire ordeal (Agni Parīkṣā) as the revelation of her untouched purityThe deeper truth that Śakti can never be bound, diminished, or possessedFrom a Tantric lens, the Rāmāyaṇa is not just a story of events—it is a description of the inner journey.Rāma is pure awareness. Sītā is the power of that awareness. When Śakti appears to be lost, the entire being enters into a search… until the union is restored.Through the whole story, remains untouched, sovereign, and luminous— revealing that the Divine Feminine cannot be diminished by the forces of illusion.Her story is the story of: inner strength sacred endurance unshakable purity and the eternal power of ŚaktiStay ConnectedIf this resonates, I invite you to:Subscribe for more Tantric and Vedic teachings Explore deeper study, meditation, and sacred practicesJoin us for pilgrimages and retreats into the heart of these traditions - next one in Sept 2026 www.pureishvari.com

The Rāmāyaṇa is not just an ancient story—it is a living transmission of truth, devotion, and the soul's journey back to itself.In this video, we explore the timeless story of Lord Rāma, Sītā, Hanumān, and Rāvaṇa—not only as historical or mythological figures, but as living forces within our own consciousness.Through this sacred narrative, we begin to understand:What dharma truly means in times of difficultyThe union of Śiva–Śakti through Rāma and SītāThe role of ego (Rāvaṇa) and how it separates us from truthThe power of bhakti (Hanumān) as the bridge back to the DivineThe deeper Tantric meaning of exile, loss, and return.

Interview - Ben Worthy from Airbus Protect The current state of OT security and business resilience In this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly, we sit down with Ben Worthy, OT Security Specialist at Airbus Protect, to explore the evolving landscape of business resilience in safety-critical sectors. With over 25 years of experience across aerospace, nuclear, water, oil & gas, and other industries, Ben shares insights on how organizations are adapting to the surge in disruptive cyberattacks—from ransomware targeting operational technology to GPS spoofing and supply chain incidents. We discuss major cases including the Boeing/LockBit ransom demand, the Jaguar Land Rover production shutdown, and the SITA passenger data breach, examining how aviation and other critical infrastructure sectors are separating safety risk from business continuity risk. Ben also breaks down the regulatory changes reshaping the industry, including EASA's October 2025 and February 2026 deadlines that tie cyber assurance directly to safety oversight, and what ENISA's latest numbers reveal about hacktivism and ransomware trends. Whether you're in aviation, nuclear, or any safety-critical sector, this conversation offers practical lessons on building resilience that keeps operations moving while addressing threats in real time. This segment is sponsored by Airbus Protect. Visit https://securityweekly.com/airbusprotect to learn more about them! Topic: Where are the business incentives to build secure products and software? "It's the right thing to do," so of course businesses will make their products secure, right? Well, it turns out that breaches and vulnerabilities don't traditionally hurt financial performance all that much. Stocks recover, insurance covers the bulks of the losses, fines are paid, and lawsuits are settled. Most businesses can comfortably absorb the impact, so the threat of reputational harm or financial losses just aren't slowing them down. In the case of Ivanti, where the reputational harm was extreme, the company's companies continue to get hacked as critical vulnerabilities keep getting discovered in their products. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2026-02-19/vpn-used-by-us-government-failed-to-stop-china-state-sponsored-hackers In this topic segment, we don't aim to provide solutions to this problem, just the awareness that ethics, doing the right thing, and even signing the Secure by Design pledge don't seem to be enough to change vendor behavior when it comes to securing products.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 23 | Swami Mukundananda  Swamiji narrates the divine episode of Shree Ram and Sita's marriage, which conveys the timeless lesson that humility triumphs over pride. King Janak organized the swayamvar, where mighty kings and warriors attempted to lift and string Lord Shiva's bow. Despite their strength and arrogance, none succeeded.  When Shree Ram approached, He did so with complete humility and devotion. Effortlessly, He lifted and strung the bow, breaking it in the process. This act revealed that true strength lies not in pride or worldly power, but in surrender to God.  Swamiji emphasizes that the marriage of Ram and Sita symbolizes the union of dharma and devotion, teaching us that humility is the highest virtue that wins God's grace, while pride distances the soul from divinity.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades. 

What does it mean to heal when the nervous system no longer feels safe in the body or the world? In this episode, Colette is joined by Sita Severson, Director of the Soul of Yoga Institute in San Diego, Ayurvedic Practitioner, Certified Yoga Therapist, and Vedic counselor. Sita's work lives at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern trauma science, supporting people through grief, addiction recovery, burnout, and chronic stress with compassion and practicality. Drawing from her own lived experience as well as decades of teaching and clinical work, Sita shares how Ayurveda, yoga, and pranayama can gently support regulation without overwhelming the system and why healing is not about fixing what's broken, but restoring relationship with the body and self. This conversation is especially meaningful for anyone navigating grief, recovery, exhaustion, or a sense of disconnection, and for practitioners interested in trauma-sensitive, embodied approaches to wellbeing. In this episode, you'll hear: How Sita's personal healing journey informs the way she teaches and works with trauma today What it means to rebuild trust in the body when the nervous system has learned that the world isn't safe How chronic stress, grief, and burnout show up in the body's physiology The role of Ayurveda, yoga, and pranayama in gently supporting nervous system regulation What truly defines a trauma-informed yoga practice Why Ayurveda and yoga emphasize gradual, participatory healing rather than quick fixes How healing can open the door to self-actualization, not just symptom relief A simple reflection and practice listeners can explore in their own time Visit the Soul of Yoga website here.
