Timestamps: (7:58) - Stockdale Family In 2008, the Stockdale family from Ohio appeared on the reality TV show ‘Wife Swap.'  Kathy and Timothy Stockdale were raising their four sons in a very strict, conservative manner.   This is an excerpt from the family manual Kathy prepared for ‘Wife Swap.'  We moved to the country to get the boys away from the city. Our children are being raised away from violent language, sexual influences, drinking, smoking, drugs, rap music all the things we left behind in the city. Instead we are raising our children on a diet of wholesome activities and farm work; keeping their minds pure and their bodies healthy and keeping out the influences of modern society. That is why we home-school. By 2017, two of the children remained in the family home - Jacob and James.  One day that year, while Timothy was at work, Jacob fatally shot his brother James and his mother Kathy.   He then attempted to take his own life by shooting himself in the head.  He survived and was hospitalised for many months. After he recovered, Jacob was charged with the murders of his mother and brother.   No motive for the killings has ever been revealed. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the murder/suicide involving the Stockdale family from ‘Wife Swap.'

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, has collaborated with MIT Sloan Management Review (MIT SMR) to launch a new research series to explore the next phase of human and AI collaboration in large enterprises. As enterprises the world over are proactively investing in deploying AI-led solutions to transform their business operations, this multi-sectoral study deeply examines the new paradigms that will redefine the use of AI in global enterprise environments. In a series of research articles covering Manufacturing, Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods, BFSI, Life Sciences and Healthcare, Energy, Resources and Utilities, and Communications, Media and Technology sectors, the study investigates how business leaders are deploying AI augmented solutions to gain a competitive edge from better decisions. The study on the theme of Human-Centric AI spans six key sectors and finds that generative and predictive AI can initiate a transformative change that drives competitive advantage. The year-long research that was conceptualised and executed jointly by MIT SMR and TCS drew insights experts and pioneers from organisations such as Walmart, Meta, MasterCard, and Pernod Ricard. The research identifies one critical shift: AI is moving from advisor to architect. In simple terms, AI's value shifts from improving business processes to improving the quality of options to facilitate better decision-making. Companies that master this transition are pulling ahead of those still trapped in traditional decision-making frameworks. TCS' industry expertise in strategising and supporting large global organisations in their AI-led digital transformation journeys using both generative and predictive AI along with the academic rigor of MIT SMR bring forth new and fresh thinking about using AI to augment and inform Human Intelligence. The collaborative research has revealed the emergence of intelligent choice architectures (ICAs) - a new paradigm where human-centric AI systems proactively participate in structuring and shaping strategic decisions by generating novel options, predicting outcomes, and guiding choices. Michael Schrage, Research fellow at MIT Sloan's Initiative on the Digital Economy and report coauthor, said, "ICAs flip the script. They do not just learn from decisions - they learn how to improve the environment in which decisions are made. That's not analytics, that's architecture." Ashok Krish, Head, AI Practice, TCS, said, "By augmenting human judgment with machine intelligence, ICAs shift AI from task automation to building superior decision environments for complex multi-factorial situations, enabling more trackable, traceable outcomes that ensure accountability. They help align talent development strategies with organisational goals, making it easier to identify and nurture high-potential employees in the AI-era. Ultimately, ICAs foster environments where human judgement and AI work together seamlessly to create connected organisation intelligence, where smarter and more informed decisions are made." Through this new study with MIT SMR, TCS extends its long-standing commitment to understand and uncover new trends in the industry and aid partners in integrating new technologies and frameworks. Over the years, TCS has collaborated with MIT SMR on industry research about direct-to-consumer enterprises, workforce empowerment, digital inclusion, retailing, and customer experience among others. Through its partnership with MIT SMR and 50 other academic institutions, TCS curates collective intelligence that enterprises can tap into. The sector-specific study provides compelling examples of ICAs in action to optimize choices, reallocate decision rights, and boost their bottom lines. Organisations using GenAI have helped achieve higher productivity and efficiency and cut costs while unlocking newer growth opportunities. In retail, AI enables retailers to both anticipate and address ma...

Welcome back to the Top Contractor School Podcast, the place where high-performing contractors come to grow, lead, and win.

Samsung Electronics recently launched the latest line-up of its popular Galaxy A-series of midtier smartphones, with the A26, A36 and A56 replacing the older A25, A35 and A55 models. One of the most notable new features of the A-series is a curated artificial intelligence module, dubbed Awesome Intelligence, that brings powerful AI features previously exclusive to its top-tier Galaxy S-series phones to its midrange devices for the first time. Unique to the A-series is a new safety feature called Samsung SOS+, a free-to-use, 24/7 subscription service exclusive to owners of the new Galaxy A56, A36 and A26 devices. In an emergency situation – and on-demand – the service immediately geolocates the user and sends private security and medical emergency services to their location at the press of a button. In this episode of TCS+, Justin Hume, vice president for mobile at Samsung Electronics South Africa, tells TechCentral about how SOS+ works in the new Galaxy A-series line-up. Hume delves into: • The inspiration behind SOS+ and why Samsung has chosen the A series to pilot the service; • How the service works and its benefits for A-series smartphone users; • Why the service is currently limited to users of the A56, A36 and A26 devices and Samsung's plans for expanded roll-out; • Key features that set the SOS+ service apart; and • Why Samsung has chosen Aura as its partner in providing the SOS+ service.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories.Fireball Grounds Flights at Southend Airport A small aircraft crash sparked chaos at London Southend Airport on Sunday, halting all flight operations. Eyewitnesses captured a dramatic fireball and thick smoke, with unconfirmed reports pointing to a Beech B200 Super King Air. Authorities are investigating, but details remain scarce. Essex Police confirmed the 12-metre aircraft went down around 4 p.m., prompting evacuations of nearby golf and rugby clubs. Emergency crews, including four ambulances and air rescue teams, remain on high alert. The airport, 35 miles from London, is closed until further notice. It was a tough Friday for Indian markets. TCS's weak Q1 results and fresh tariff threats from Donald Trump against Mexico and the EU sent shockwaves through Dalal Street. The Sensex fell 690 points, and the Nifty slipped 205, both ending at weekly lows. Ajit Mishra of Religare says, “Volatility is here to stay.” Still, Bajaj Broking believes the dip may be temporary, expecting a bounce if Nifty holds above 24,900. Also in the mix: FPIs pulled out over ₹5,000 crore, oil prices surged, and over 50 Q1 earnings are due this week. That viral WhatsApp forward claiming ₹500 notes will disappear from ATMs by September 2025? Totally false. The PIB Fact Check team debunked the claim, saying RBI has issued no such order. ₹500 notes remain legal tender. The misleading message also claimed 90% of ATMs would stop dispensing the denomination by March 2026—again, untrue. On a real currency note, the RBI will soon release new ₹20 notes signed by new Governor Sanjay Malhotra. Old ₹20 notes remain valid. Big change at VIP Industries. Promoters Dilip Piramal and family have sold 32% stake to a group led by Multiples PE and investor Mithun Sancheti, handing over control of the ₹6,400-crore company. The deal—reportedly worth ₹1,764 crore—was struck at a 15% discount to market price and triggers an open offer. VIP, which commands 44% of India's organized luggage market, faces rising heat from startups like Mokobara and Nasher Miles. This could mark a fresh direction for a legacy brand known for Skybags, Carlton, and more. It's a dividend-heavy week ahead! Market leaders like TCS, Bharti Airtel, Kotak Bank, Dabur, and IDBI Bank will trade ex-dividend starting Monday, July 14. Over 50 companies, including Bajaj Electricals, Blue Star, Cummins, and Happiest Minds, are on the list. Some are also announcing bonus or rights issues, creating opportunities for dividend-focused investors. If you're chasing payouts, timing is key—own the shares before their ex-date to be eligible.

For years, mobile telecommunications was dominated by a handful of large operators, or MNOs. Now, with almost 30 MVNOs, or mobile virtual network operators, serving niche consumer bases in banking, retail and education, among other sectors, the MVNO market is thriving. However, brands looking to take advantage of this boom and add mobile services to their offerings are not guaranteed success. There are several critical decisions regarding strategy, process and choosing the right technology platform that are key to building a critical mass of loyal MVNO customers. In this episode of TCS+, Daniel Swart, chief commercial officer at MVNX, an MVNO enablement specialist, discusses the opportunities and threats facing MVNOs in South Africa today. Swart Delves into: • The services MVNX, as an MVNO enabler, offers to brands looking to launch MVNO services in South Africa; • How South Africa's MVNO market has developed since its inception in 2006 with the entry of now-defunct Virgin Mobile; • The markers of success separating successful MVNOs from those that have struggled to gain a foothold in the market; • The benefits MVNO brands reap from using an enablement platform to launch and distribute their mobile services; • The importance of understanding the competitive dynamics of the MVNO market and how new MVNOs should position themselves; • The regulatory aspects of running an MVNO; and • International MVNO trends Swart believes are likely to be emulated in South Africa. This discussion is not to be missed. TechCentral

The Lekker Network is a recently launched global business platform designed to help South African expatriates find business and investment opportunities around the world, including at home. Founded by a group of well-known businesspeople, The Lekker Network was launched in March and offers members access to a business directory, a jobs portal (for employers and job seekers), a social platform with “likeminded individuals” and events around the world for people, including non-South Africans, to meet up. Renier Lombard, a co-founder of The Lekker Network, is our guest on this episode of the TechCentral Show. He said the platform, whose ambassadors include well-known journalist and speaker Bruce Whitfield and former Springbok and now businessman Bob Skinstad, is designed to “forge connections between South African businesses and businesspeople, regardless of their location”. In this episode of TCS, Lombard unpacks: • Who founded The Lekker Network and why; • Who it is aimed at and who can join; • How much it costs and what members get for the fee; • The markets where The Lekker Network is focused – not surprisingly, the attention is on countries where there are a large number of South African expats; • How (and why) non-South Africans can join the network; and • The importance of the tech sector, including start-ups, to The Lekker Network community.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories.  “30 Seconds to Doomsday”: Pakistan's Nuclear Scare In a startling disclosure, Rana Sanaullah, aide to Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif, revealed that during Operation Sindoor, Pakistan had just 30–45 seconds to assess whether an incoming Indian BrahMos missile was nuclear-armed. The missile had struck Pakistan's Nur Khan airbase following a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 civilians. India's swift tri-service retaliation targeted JeM and LeT camps in Pakistan and PoK. The near-crisis, which ended with Pakistan requesting a ceasefire, underscores how close the region came to nuclear conflict. Sanaullah also questioned former U.S. President Donald Trump's role in the standoff, hinting at vague international mediation. The episode highlights the razor-thin margins on which Indo-Pak ties rest. 2. Markets Calm, But Tariff Tempest Ahead? With the Nifty 50 up 4% this month and India's VIX sliding to 12.44, investor nerves seem soothed—for now. But volatility could return swiftly as Trump's 90-day tariff pause ends on July 9. Shrikant Chouhan of Kotak Securities warns the VIX could spike to 19–20 if tariffs return. Globally, too, fear gauges have cooled—the Cboe VIX has dropped from 51 to under 17. While over 50 IPOs, including HDB Financial's ₹12,500 crore listing, are riding this wave of calm, events like TCS's July 10 earnings and the FOMC meet on July 29-30 could shake things up again. Russia has become the first country to officially recognize the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, ending nearly four years of diplomatic isolation for the group. In Kabul, Russian Ambassador Dmitry Zhirnov handed over formal recognition papers to Taliban foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi, who called it a “courageous step.” 3. Russia Recognizes Taliban Government Russia's move follows its decision in April to remove the Taliban from its terror list, and it now views the group as an ally against ISIS-K. Economic motives also drive this pivot—Russia sees Afghanistan as a transit hub for energy routes into Southeast Asia. Western nations remain cautious. The U.S. condemned the move as dangerous legitimization, and others like Germany, France, and Britain continue to demand progress on women's rights before engaging further. The Taliban, now backed by Russia, is eyeing a UN seat—but that path remains fraught. 4. Tata's Grocery Ambitions Get Serious Noel Tata believes Star—Trent Ltd's grocery venture—could soon outshine fashion brands Zudio and Westside. Why? “The food market is just so much bigger than clothing,” he said at Trent's AGM. Led by Neville Tata, Star posted a record revenue of ₹8,854 crore in FY25, growing 25% YoY, now contributing over 15% of Trent's revenue. Despite past losses of ₹1,000 crore, the group is investing ₹2,000 crore this year alone—nearly 3x the total invested in the past two decades. The secret sauce? Private labels—72% of Q4 sales came from in-house brands. But challenges remain, including competition from Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart. For now, the Tatas are betting big on your grocery basket. 5. SBI's Mission: Lead Every District As it celebrates 70 years, State Bank of India has a bold new target—become the market leader in all 787 Indian districts. Currently, it holds 22.5% in deposits and 19.3% in advances. Chairman C.S. Setty outlined a three-pronged strategy: defend dominance in strong markets, expand aggressively in metros, and close “white spaces” where SBI has no presence. Specialized branches will be rolled out in areas with deposit strength but low loan penetration. SBI is also pursuing strategic tie-ups with fintech, agrotech, and digital platforms while rolling out a massive 104-zone outreach to align its workforce. The message is clear: from a 1955 legacy to a digital-first future, SBI wants to own the next decade of Indian banking. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The pace of innovation in the cloud space is breathtaking. Gone are the days when the cloud was just about virtual machines and storage; today, it is a dynamic ecosystem, constantly introducing features that are fundamentally transforming how businesses operate, from the smallest start-ups to the largest enterprises. Preegan Chetty, Azure product manager at First Distribution, returns to TechCentral's TCS+ to discuss some of the latest and most exciting features available in the Azure cloud environment and how businesses are leveraging those capabilities to facilitate growth. This is the third in a series of three episodes with Chetty and First Distribution. Episode one covered cloud cost optimisation in Azure and episode two looked at how businesses can manage the complexities of data residency in hybrid cloud environments. In this episode, Chetty delves into: • The benefits cloud-based IT environments offer over on-prem installations and how they help companies experiment and adopt new technologies faster; • How businesses can ensure they are able to keep pace with new technologies so they are not left behind; • How South African businesses are using the newest AI tools in Azure to build new products and services; • How to approach responsible AI development in the cloud; • How cloud AI tools can help with code modernisation; • How small businesses can take advantage of cloud technology; and • Emerging cloud technologies to keep an eye on.

"Are we entitled to have our jobs for a lifetime in the AI age?" That's the question this week's episode of Techcetra opens with, as Shouvik Das and Leslie D'Monte talks about the growing instability in Big Tech employment. They examine the troubling pattern of layoffs at firms like Microsoft and Google. Is AI genuinely reshaping work, or simply replacing people under the guise of innovation? They explore how job cuts are disproportionately affecting Indian professionals in the U.S., the emotional toll of sudden unemployment, and whether private companies are doing enough to retrain talent instead of replacing it. The episode also rockets literally into another domain of innovation. With Honda testing a reusable rocket, the hosts discuss what this signals in a SpaceX-dominated world, and how India's own players like Skyroot and Agnikul are pushing frugal innovation in aerospace. While reusability remains a nascent ambition, the bigger question raised is about India's underwhelming R&D budgets even in tech giants like TCS and how that gap might hold back long-term progress in both tech and space.

A team of researchers at Trinity College Dublin has received €500,000 in funding to develop an AI-enabled platform to help teachers create assessments and provide formative feedback to learners. The project is called Diotima and is supported by The Learnovate Centre, a global research and innovation centre in learning technology in Trinity College Dublin. Diotima began its partnership with Learnovate in February this year and is expected to spin out as a company in 2026. The €500,000 funding was granted under Enterprise Ireland's Commercialisation Fund, which supports third-level researchers to translate their research into innovative and commercially viable products, services and companies. Diotima supports teaching practice by using responsible AI to provide learners with feedback, leading to more and better assessments and improved learning outcomes for students, and a more manageable workload for teachers. The project was co-founded by Siobhan Ryan, a former secondary school teacher, biochemist and environmental scientist, and Jonathan Dempsey, an EdTech professional with both start-up and corporate experience. Associate Professor Ann Devitt, Head of the Trinity School of Education, and Carl Vogel, Professor of Computational Linguistics and Director of the Trinity Centre for Computing and Language Studies, are serving as co-principal investigators on the project. Diotima received the funding in February. Since then, the project leaders have established an education advisory group formed of representatives from post-primary and professional education organisations. The Enterprise Ireland funding has facilitated the hiring of two post-doctoral researchers. They are now leading AI research ahead of the launch of an initial version of the platform in September 2025. Diotima aims to conduct two major trials of the platform as they also seek investment. Co-founder Siobhan Ryan is Diotima's Learning Lead. After a 12-year career in the brewing industry with Diageo, Siobhan re-trained as a secondary school teacher before leaving the profession to develop the business case for a formative assessment and feedback platform. Her experience in the classroom made her realise that she could have a greater impact by leveraging AI to create a platform to support teachers in a safe, transparent, and empowering way. Her fellow co-founder Jonathan Dempsey is Commercial Lead at Diotima. He had been CEO of the Enterprise Ireland-backed EdTech firm Digitary, which is now part of multinational Instructure Inc. He held the role of Director of UK and Ireland for US education system provider Ellucian and Head of Education and Education Platforms for Europe with Indian multinational TCS. Jonathan has a wealth of experience at bringing education technologies to market. Learnovate Centre Director Nessa McEniff says: "We are delighted to have collaborated with the Diotima team to secure €500,000 investment from Enterprise Ireland's Commercialisation Fund. Diotima promises to develop into a revolutionary platform for learners in secondary schools and professional education organisations, delivering formative feedback and better outcomes overall. We look forward to supporting them further as they continue to develop the platform in the months ahead." Enterprise Ireland Head of Research, Innovation and Infrastructure Marina Donohoe says: "Enterprise Ireland is delighted to support Diotima under the Commercialisation Fund.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, has announced the expansion of its capabilities in the rapidly evolving Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV) space. TCS sets up two new Automotive Delivery Centres in Germany - located in Munich and Villingen-Schwenningen, as well as an engineering centre in Romania. These new hubs mark a strategic move to help TCS' global automotive clients accelerate their transition to next-gen mobility solutions. The delivery centres in Germany will support automakers in developing and deploying TCS's software-driven services that cater to autonomous driving, infotainment, safety systems, and connected vehicle technologies. Meanwhile, the engineering centre in Romania will focus on designing and building advanced automotive software platforms to support early-stage development and innovation. This expansion is part of TCS's long-term strategy to strengthen its end-to-end automotive software capabilities, chip-to-cloud technologies, and services. In Ireland, the TCS team operating out of its Global Delivery Centre in Letterkenny works closely with its locally based client, JLR (Jaguar Land Rover), to support them in their move from a traditional automotive manufacturer to a software-centric organisation. The strategic location of these centres will enable close collaboration with leading European OEMs and global automotive enterprises, providing nearshore capabilities. The new centres currently house over 100 talented professionals who will work together with more than 2000 SDV Engineers across TCS global locations, including Ireland. This diverse and global talent pool will enable the development of next-generation automotive platforms for digital cockpits and infotainment, advanced driver assistance systems, and other critical SDV functions, supporting the full product lifecycle from concept and development to production and post-launch support. Regu Ayyaswamy, Senior Vice President & Global Head, Internet of Things (IoT) and Digital Engineering at TCS, said, "These new centres will position TCS at the forefront of automotive innovation, enabling us to deliver state-of-the-art solutions in autonomous driving and advanced cockpit systems. This expansion reaffirms our commitment to leading the transformation in the Software-Defined Vehicles space." TCS' expansion aligns with the global automotive industry's shift toward software-defined, connected, and autonomous mobility. As demand grows for intelligent vehicle technologies, TCS is well-positioned to lead the transformation. Europe is a strategically significant location for TCS's automotive delivery hubs due to its robust automotive industry and the presence of numerous leading automotive manufacturers in the region. TCS has been serving automotive customers in Europe for the past 25 years and has a strong presence in automotive hubs across the region, including Ireland. The organisation has been delivering innovative solutions in digital cockpit, electrification, autonomous vehicles, and connected car ecosystems through digital engineering, IoT, cloud, and data analytics. TCS also leverages Generative AI to accelerate product development with feature generation and testing in SDVs, enabling faster innovation and enhanced personalisation. Anupam Singhal, President and Business Group Head, Manufacturing, TCS, said, "The shift to software-defined vehicles marks a defining moment for the automotive industry. With the launch of these new centres, we are deepening our commitment to support OEMs in building the next generation of intelligent, connected, and sustainable vehicles. This expansion is a key milestone in our journey toward Future-Ready Mobility - where software, engineering, and design, backed by AI, converge to deliver safer, more personalised, and continuously enriching experiences for drivers and passengers."

Virgin Atlantic's Technology Command Centre, co-developed with TCS, will provide real-time operational insights to enhance decision making, streamline technology operations and empower front-line staff with up-to-date, contextual data. This will support the elevation of both customer and crew experiences, enabling efficient, smarter and more sustainable journeys, and a superior hyper-personalised customer experience across every touchpoint of airline travel.

TCS's bouquet of technology solutions will support Virgin Atlantic in building a resilient and sustainable digital core, enabling the airline to innovate continuously while delivering value across revenue, efficiency, and customer experience metrics, and become sustainably profitable. These solutions will be delivered through a dedicated onsite team of TCS associates equipped with a deep contextual knowledge of Virgin Atlantic's environment. Amit Kapur, Country Head - UK & Ireland, Tata Consultancy Services, said, "At TCS, we believe being perpetually adaptive is a necessity in today's dynamic business landscape.
