In this episode, Monika explores why inflation has surged in India, hitting 6.2% in October 2024, the highest in over a year. She explains how inflation is measured using the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which tracks price changes in a basket of consumer goods and services. A consistent rise in the CPI indicates inflation, with a recent jump reflecting concerns about India's economic stability. The ideal inflation target for India is set between 2% and 6%, with 4% considered optimal for growth, but the current numbers exceed this range. Monika discusses the key contributors to the recent spike, particularly food inflation. October saw food and beverage prices soar to 9.69%, driven by a 42.2% increase in vegetable costs, along with rising cereal and oil prices. She highlights the persistent food inflation due to extreme weather conditions and challenges in the agricultural sector, exacerbated by the government's struggle to implement necessary reforms. These factors complicate inflation control, and Monika predicts that inflation might not ease until early next year, affecting consumer spending and economic growth. The recent closure of Durga Cooperative Bank is also discussed in this episode. The RBI canceled the bank's license, forcing customers to rely on deposit insurance for refunds. This situation underscores the risks of choosing high-interest cooperative banks, leading to a recommendation to prioritize safer options like large public or private banks for emergency fund deposits. Listener queries include Raj Krishan (name changed), who asks if his family's net worth of INR 7 crore, along with other resources, is sufficient to support his upcoming career switch to entrepreneurship. Another listener, Smitha, shares concerns about financial stability after returning from Australia and asks for guidance on managing property inheritance and finding employment in India. Lastly, Kumarjit inquires about how to choose a reliable financial planner, seeking clarity on professional credentials and fee structures.

Při touze po probuzení víry nesmíme zapomínat na důležitou věc. Tou je uznání a vyznání hříchu, který nám Duch svatý zjeví. Jakou roli či překážku hraje hřích při probuzení se můžete dočíst v knize Oswalda J. Smitha - Žádné probuzení bez pokání. Závěrečnou část z překladu Ludmily Hallerové čte opět Pavel Kohl.

Je rozdíl jen tak se lehce modlit anebo opravdově lkát za ztracené duše. I naše duše může pracovat na Božím díle a to skrze upřímné hluboké modlitby. Ve Večeru pod lampou otevíráme již podruhé knihu Oswalda J. Smitha - Žádné probuzení bez pokání. Překlad Ludmily Hallerové nastudoval Pavel Kohl.

Ve Večeru pod lampou na Rádiu 7 dnes otevřeme nový spis amerického kazatele a evangelisty Oswalda J. Smitha Žádné probuzení bez pokání, který do češtiny přeložila Ludmila Hallerová. O tom, proč nám chybí potřebná síla víry a zvěstovaného slova, bude řeč v prvních dvou kapitolách, které uslyšíte v podání Pavla Kohla a Kateřiny Hodecové.

More than 1,600 junior doctors have been on strike in South Korea in a dispute about working conditions and Government plans to add more medical school placements. BBC health reporter Smitha Mundasad joins Claudia Hammond to explain the latest. Smitha also brings Claudia new research about the first ever prehistoric case of a child with genetic condition Edwards' syndrome. And some innovative solutions to get blood to so called ‘blood deserts'; large rural areas where there is no access to blood transfusion. Claudia and Smitha also hear how one American woman Lynn Cole's fight with serious blood infection helped scientists understand more about phage therapy. Lynn died in 2022, but Claudia speaks to her daughter Mya. Health Check also continues to follow British journalist Mike Powell as he prepares for a kidney transplant operation. This week he is in conversation with Justin Pham in Los Angeles, who also has kidney failure and has been on dialysis since last year.Presenter: Claudia Hammond Producer: Clare Salisbury

In this episode we're taking a look at emergency medicine outside hospitals and surgeries – and meeting the people who save seriously-ill people in unusual places.Smitha Mundasad goes on a rainy walk in the hills with the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team and meets the flying medics of London's Air Ambulance. Will she have time for a chat before they get a call-out? We also hear from Sweden where they're making lifesaving changes before the ambulance even arrives.And from kombucha and kimchi to keffir and sourdough, fermented food and drink is everywhere. But as these foods have exploded in popularity, so have claims of health benefits, from digestion and gut health, to immunity and mood.We start by trying some fermenting with chef Olia Hercules and then Smitha chats to fermented food “nerd” Professor Paul Cotter to sift through the evidence. Next week's Inside Health is all about the perimenopause – the time leading up to the menopause when oestrogen starts to drop. Why is it all still such a mystery? Send us your questions – and we'll put them to our panel. It's insidehealth@bbc.co.uk Presenter: Smitha Mundasad Producer: Gerry Holt Editor: Martin Smith Production co-ordinator: Jonathan HarrisDeclared interests: Professor Paul Cotter: “Research in the Cotter laboratory has been funded by PrecisionBiotics Group, Friesland Campina, Danone and PepsiCo. Paul Cotter has also received funding to travel to or present at meetings by H&H, the National Dairy Council U.S., PepsiCo, Abbott, Arla and Yakult. In addition, he is the co-founder and CTO of SeqBiome Ltd., a provider of sequencing and bioinformatics services for microbiome analysis.”

This week we're exploring our microbial metropolis.Smitha Mundasad heads into the lab to meet the bacteria that live on her skin – and on her family's dirty laundry – to understand what's there, and why. She goes antibiotic-hunting around her house to find out whether bacteria on a washing up sponge, a fluffy cushion, the bottom of a shoe – and even some of her kids' play slime – could hold the key to helping scientists find new medicines. Next, Smitha wants to find out the answer to how often we should wash ourselves – and our clothes – for good health, but, as she finds out, this question is not as simple as it sounds. It turns out there's a big difference between cleanliness and hygiene – and the confusion between these two rather important words could be having an impact on our health…Presenter: Dr Smitha Mundasad Producer: Gerry Holt Editor: Holly Squire

Gum lancing is a tradition practiced on babies in some parts of the world. It's done with good intentions, and involves extracting the teeth of infants with symptoms such as a fever or diarrhoea in the belief it will cure them. It can be fatal though, with tooth buds sometimes being removed using unsafe, unsterile instruments such as nails, and without anaesthesia. We hear from a family in Kenya who lost children that underwent the procedure, a dentist raising awareness of its dangers in the country, and Claudia Hammond speaks to dental public health expert Dr Kristina Wanyonyi-Kay to find out more about the practice. Claudia is also joined by BBC health reporter Smitha Mundasad to discuss new research on the Covid drug molnupiravir, suggesting it could be leading to new mutations of the virus passing between people. We also hear from a listener who wants to know if eye exercises can stop our sight deteriorating as we get older, and from an ophthalmologist with the answer. And how scientists have discovered specific wiring in the brains of mice that leads them to begin nesting when they're getting ready to sleep. Claudia and Smitha look at what this could tell us about our own bedtime preparations.

In this episode, Ben and Rahul break down the recent $46 million verdict Rahul obtained in a case on behalf of a client injured during a Brazilian Jujitsu class.  Rahul talks about how he frames the issues in the case to deal with the challenge of many jurors believing that those who engage in dangerous activities, like Jujitsu, assume the risk of injury.  He shares his approach to voir dire and to obtaining this high-value verdict in a relatively conservative venue where verdicts tend to be on the lower side.  Rahul talks about how the verdict was received in the Jujitsu community and how it is likely to lead to changes that will make the practice safer.  About Rahul RavipudiRahul Ravipudi is a partner at Panish | Shea | Boyle | Ravipudi LLP and has spent his legal career handling catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases involving commercial vehicles, pedestrians, industrial or construction accidents, utility negligence, dangerous conditions of public and private property as well as cases of sexual abuse and sexual assault. Mr. Ravipudi also represents consumers in class actions against businesses who engage in unfair/illegal business practices and public entities in cases where corporations have endangered the safety, health, property or comfort of the public. Mr. Ravipudi currently serves as Public Entity Plaintiffs' Co-Lead Counsel in the JUUL Labs Product Cases, representing school districts and other public entities in California involved in litigation against the electronic cigarette manufacturer. Has also serves as Plaintiffs Co-Lead Counsel in the Southern California Fire Cases litigation arising out of the 2017 Thomas Fire and subsequent debris flows in Montecito, California as well as on the Plaintiffs Executive Committee in the California North Bay Fires litigation. Mr. Ravipudi previously served on the Steering Committee in the Blythe bus crash litigation. Named 2017 Trial Lawyer of the Year by Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles, Mr. Ravipudi has obtained numerous landmark verdicts and settlements including a $160.5 million jury verdict for a man who suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of a vicious beating by security personnel for a nightclub, a $46,475,112.33 jury verdict for a beginning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu student who suffered a catastrophic spinal cord injury while sparring with a Del Mar Jiu-Jitsu Club instructor who performed a technique which rendered the student an incomplete quadriplegic, a $28,500,000+ settlement for a special needs student who was catastrophically injured after being struck by a vehicle while under the care and supervision of Victor Elementary School District (VESD) personnel, as well as a $23,500,000 settlement on behalf of the family of Paul Lee, a 19-year-old non-verbal autistic student who tragically died aboard a Whittier school bus after the driver left him behind to engage in a sexual tryst with a coworker. The Lee case was a catalyst for significant change in school transportation with Governor Jerry Brown signing the “Paul Lee School Bus Safety Law” in September 2016, requiring all school buses in the state of California to be equipped with a child safety alarm system that must be deactivated by the bus driver before departing the bus. The new law will go into effect at the start of the 2018-19 school year and requires bus drivers to receive training in child-safety check procedures. Committed to serving as an advocate for his clients, Mr. Ravipudi has obtained numerous eight-figure awards including a $20,500,000 jury verdict for the mother of a high school student who was killed while walking to a bus stop, a $19,786,818 jury verdict for a man who suffered severe burn and traumatic brain injuries when his rental home exploded as a result of Southern California Gas Company negligence, a $13,935,550 jury verdict for 19-year-old pedestrian who suffered extensive injuries as a result of being struck on the sidewalk by a vehicle driven by a Los Angeles County employee, a $13,000,000 settlement for the children and parents of a woman who was killed when her car was hit by a Hawthorne, California police officer, a $11,000,000 settlement for the family of a middle school student who drowned during a school-sponsored swim party, a$10 million for the family of an independent truck driver killed by an intoxicated heavy lift operator at a stevedoring terminal in Long Beach, and an $8,000,000 jury verdict in Clark County District Court for a Nevada man who suffered significant internal injuries after he was served and ingested what he believed was a Honey Blonde Ale but was actually a chemical cleaning compound left in the tap lines. Mr. Ravipudi shared his insight into successfully litigating cases against the stevedoring companies in an article entitled, “Danger on the Docks – Where there is an injury or death on the waterfront, drugs or alcohol are too often involved” published in the February 2011 edition of Advocate, journal of the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles. Additional recoveries obtained by Mr. Ravipudi include a $15,950,000 settlement for a teen who suffered a brain injury on an HOA playground, $8,000,000 settlement for an 81-year-old woman who suffered severe spinal cord injuries after falling at a hotel, a $7,000,000+ settlement during trial for the family of a man killed at SpeedVegas when the vehicle he was driving slammed into a track wall and burst into flames, $6,500,000 settlement for the two minor children and friend of a Southern California man who was killed after being struck on the highway by a freight truck whose driver had fallen asleep behind the wheel, a $6,000,000 settlement for a woman who suffered severe burn injuries when a faucet in the bathtub of her apartment detached and sprayed scalding hot water onto her body, a $5 million for an HVAC worker who suffered serious injuries when he fell through a skylight while working on a customer's roof, a $3.3 million gross jury verdict arising out of the death of a pest control person crushed and killed when a semi-truck reversed into him at a warehousing facility, and $9 million from the State of California (Caltrans) when a 16-year-old girl on a restricted license lost control of her vehicle and collided into a guardrail damaged two days earlier resulting in a bilateral traumatic below knee amputations.

As new research is released showing that lower back pain is the leading cause of disability across the world, we ask Professor of musculoskeletal health at Sydney university, Manuela Ferreira what we can do to reduce the risks. We're talking empathy; the ability to resonate with how others feel. Do healthcare professionals have enough empathy? And can having too much sometimes cause people working in healthcare difficulties with their own mental health? BBC health reporter Smitha Mundasad joins Claudia in the studio to discuss heart health. As a new report by the World Heart Foundation warns that deaths from cardiovascular disease have increased by more than 60 per cent over the last 3 decades, we look at a study from Japan that shows how keeping your legs strong can lead to a better prognosis after a heart attack. And a device that could increase your chances of surviving an avalanche has been tested in Italy. Claudia and Smitha discuss the results.

Episode 23 of Monali & Meena Narayanaswami's talk show, "101 Chai Chats". 

What You Need to Know is we must incentivize working families again! Last week Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) said he's not just interested in tax policies that benefit businesses, but that help all working Americans. It's about time we had a set of leaders again who want to use the tax code to benefit people where they are. Trump is rolling out ideas for his 2024 campaign that play into this, including what he called “baby bonuses”! Incentivizing having a family? Great! These kinds of ideas that Smitha and Trump are putting forward are exciting.   Thomas J. McKenna, president of Catholic Action for Faith and Family, discusses the question about who should be receiving communion in the Catholic Church. Especially in politics, this question of a high-profile Catholic (in name, at least) being denied communion over their positions. Cardinal Raymond Burke addresses this question in a new book Deny Holy Communion? and Catholic Action is sending it out to clergy around the country.  John Schlafly, co-author of the Schlafly Report, gives a report on this week's column — Globalists Want Their Own President. As 2023 gets rolling, there's obviously a lot of chatter about Joe Biden's capabilities and GOP challengers to Trump as both fields shape up. Do the globalists have a pony this time? Who is it? Who are they grooming now? John gives us his perspective.

Wskazuje, że aktualna polityka NBP nie przynosi odpowiednich skutków. .@AndrzejSadowski w #PopołudnieWnet: kolejne podwyżki stóp procentowych nie przynoszą pożądanego skutku, czyli spadku inflacji #RadioWnet— RadioWnet (@RadioWNET) May 5, 2022 W opinii eksperta, podwyżki stóp procentowych powinny rozpocząć się już dawno.

Dr Andrzej Sadowski komentuje problemy polskich kredytobiorców. Ocenia, że elita władzy nie ma skutecznego planu rozwiązania bolączek tych ludzi. Rozmówca Adriana Kowarzyka negatywnie ocenia praktykę działania sektora bankowego w Polsce. Wskazuje też, że wysoka inflacja jest złem, z którym należy bezwzględnie walczyć. Poruszony zostaje również temat Polskiego Ładu. Dr Sadowski wyraża przekonanie, że nie doprowadzi on do poprawy sytuacji gospodarczej naszego kraju. Polski Ład był jedną wielką podwyżką podatków, to była jego istota. Nie dajmy się zmylić sloganami. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/radiownet/message

Dr Andrzej Sadowski zaprzecza jakoby podwyżki stóp procentowych była odczuwalna dla wszystkich kredytobiorców. Zauważa, że wciąż mamy ujemne realne stopy procentowe. Zaznacza, że podwyżka stóp nie umocniła złotego, a jedynie zmniejszyła jego osłabianie. Żeby faktycznie doszło do umocnienia waluty stopy procentowe musiałyby przynajmniej na poziomie inflacji. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/radiownet/message

In this episode, we're defining what we mean when we say “thinking Christianly.” We discuss:What does the faculty of “thinking” entail?The difference between the mind and the brain and how they both relate to the soulHow to integrate faith and learningDifferent kinds of knowledge and how to seek wisdom beyond the Christian worldviewMaking right distinctions and how to make sense of false dichotomiesThe state of Christian higher education and a word of hopeResources mentioned during our conversation:Dallas Willard in "The Allure of Gentleness": "...reality can be described as what we humans run into when we are wrong..."You Are What You Love: The Spiritual Power of Habit by James K.A. SmithA response to Smith's You Are What You LoveAlvin Plantinga's critique of methodological naturalismStan's articles on the nature of the soul, mind, brain, and body:  What are We? and Succumbing to a Very Unchristian Idea (how Christians commonly reduce the mind to the brain).

This episode, I sit down and talk with a world renowned female surgeon in the Endometriosis community; Dr. Smitha Vilasagar. We discuss all things from a doctors point of view on how to get diagnosed and be heard. In this particular community it's sometimes very hard to get a doctor to comprehend the magnitude of your disease before it's taken over - even though 1 in 10 women suffer daily. Dr. Vilasagar is an extraordinary example of how a doctor should advocate for you & what a patient-doctor relationship should look like.   Smitha Vilasagar, MD, is a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon practicing at Atrium Health in Charlotte, NC. She specializes in endometriosis, complex laparoscopy, and chronic pelvic pain. After OB/GYN residency, she completed a subspecialty fellowship in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and chronic pelvic pain at the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY.
