What are these experiments for?"Hi: विक्रम ने थोड़ी देर के लिए चुप्पी साध ली, फिर उसने खुलासा किया। "यह एक नई खोज है, इंसान की क्षमता को बढ़ाने के लिए।En: Vikram remained silent for a while, then he revealed, "This is a new discovery, to enhance human capability.Hi: लेकिन इसे गलत हाथों में जाने से रोकना होगा।"En: But it must be kept from falling into the wrong hands."Hi: यह सुनकर रोहन का मन मथने लगा।En: Hearing this, Rohan's mind began to churn.Hi: उसने विक्रम के प्रयोग का रहस्य जान लिया था, परंतु क्या यह सही है कि इसे दुनिया के सामने लाया जाए?En: He had learned the secret of Vikram's experiment, but is it right to bring it before the world?Hi: अंततः उसने वहां से निकलने का निर्णय लिया।En: Ultimately he decided to leave.Hi: वह समझ चुका था कि ज्ञान के साथ जिम्मेदारी भी आती है।En: He understood that with knowledge comes responsibility.Hi: रोहन बाहर आया, और मीरा ने राहत की सांस ली।En: Rohan came outside, and Meera sighed in relief.Hi: लेकिन रोहन अब पहले से कहीं अधिक सतर्क था।En: But Rohan was now more alert than ever before.Hi: वह जानता था कि एक बड़ा रहस्य उसके पास है, जिसे छुपाना या उजागर करना - उसी के हाथ में है।En: He knew he held a big secret, whether to hide it or reveal it was in his hands.Hi: जीवन में पहेलियाँ और भी होंगी, पर अब रोहन उनके प्रति अधिक सावधान रहेगा।En: There would be more puzzles in life, but now Rohan would be more cautious towards them.

Vikram Malhotra, managing director, real estate equities at Mizuho, joined the REIT Report to review trends in the industrial/logistics REIT sector. Despite some softness in the first quarter, a new upcycle remains in place, with big box demand playing a key role, he said.Warehouses of over 500,000 square feet have done “very well,” Malhotra said, as companies like Walmart and Amazon adapt to the necessity of quick, last-mile distribution. Mizuho currently estimates overall sector vacancy at 7.5%. That rate is close to peaking, Malhotra said, and then should modestly trend down. “Until we see vacancy trend to about 6%, I think it'll be really hard to see real rent growth…I think we're at least a year away from a very strong market trend.”As for the impact of current global instability, Malhotra noted that “in the very near term, spot demand is strong, but we are monitoring factors where we could see a sign of a pause.”  Instability is likely to strengthen the reshoring trend that has been a theme for the past few years, Malhotra added. Despite the ongoing conflict, the demand for logistics space is expected to reach 150-200 million square feet annually, a significant uptick from previous years.Chapters:00:00 AI Sparks Logistics Upside 00:57 Industrial Outlook 2026 01:44 Big Box Demand Split 02:33 Conflict Impact Check 03:54 Supply Chains And Data Centers 05:54 Markets Supply Risk 2026 07:55 Vacancy And Rent Path 09:07 Warehouse Design Shifts 10:49 Power And Automation Edge 11:59 AI Driven E Commerce Cycle 12:49 Wrap Up And Subscribe

This is a very sweet memory."Hi: कुछ देर तक बैठ कर आरव ने अपने चाचा से बातें कीं, उनके स्वास्थ्य के बारे में पूछा और आने वाले कुछ हफ्तों में उनकी देखभाल की योजनाओं पर चर्चा की।En: Aarav sat for a while, talked to his uncle, inquired about his health, and discussed the plans for his care in the coming weeks.Hi: धीरे-धीरे उसकी घबराहट कम हो गई और उसने महसूस किया कि उसका यहां होना कितना महत्वपूर्ण था।En: Gradually, his anxiety diminished, and he realized how important his presence there was.Hi: अस्पताल से बाहर निकलते हुए, आरव के मन में एक सुकून था।En: Walking out of the hospital, Aarav felt a sense of peace in his mind.Hi: उसने एक महत्वपूर्ण सबक सीखा — प्रियजनों के लिए हमेशा वहां होना आवश्यक होता है, चाहे परिस्थितियां कैसी भी हों।En: He learned an important lesson—it is always necessary to be there for loved ones, no matter the circumstances.Hi: और इस अहसास के साथ, आरव ने मुस्कुराते हुए अपने चाचा की ओर देखा और भरोसा दिया कि वह हमेशा उनके साथ है।En: And with this realization, Aarav looked at his uncle with a smile and assured him that he would always be there for him.

We break down what's happening in the nervous system when GABA-driven “calm down” signals get disrupted by autoantibodies, why symptoms can escalate into severe spasms and rigidity, and why the condition has captured public attention through Celine Dion's story.Then we shift from symptoms to source: an experimental CAR T-cell therapy designed to eliminate the B cells that produce the harmful antibodies in stiff person syndrome. We walk through what a phase two clinical trial reported, including real-world changes like faster walking and fewer people needing walking aids, plus the caveats that matter for anyone following medical research such as side effects, small sample sizes, and unknown durability.Pet parents get a deep dive too. Chronic kidney disease in cats is common, progressive, and often detected late, so we cover a promising approach involving AIM protein and recombinant AIM therapy (RAIM) injections, including how researchers tracked toxins like indoxyl sulfate and what survival outcomes looked like over a year. Finally, plant scientist Dr. Vikram Baliga joins us to make botany feel urgent and strange in the best way, from ancient bristlecone pine “time capsules” to crown shyness and the science of how plants sense nearby competitors, plus a glimpse at nitrogen-fixing corn research that could reduce fertilizer dependence.Dr. Vikram's linksAll our social links are here!Support the showFor Science, Empathy, and Cuteness!Being Kind is a Superpower.All our social links are here!

What does it take to fix the most broken system in America — from the outside?Ajay and Aniket, co-founders of Coral AI, had zero healthcare experience when they started. What they had was a burning problem, a one-way plane ticket to the US, and a relentless drive to understand healthcare from the ground up — visiting 17 cities in 30 days, becoming interns, and reading thousands of faxes doctors still send in 2026.In this episode of Zee47 Moments, Ashwin and Vikram sit down with the founders to unpack how Coral is using AI to eliminate the administrative chaos of patient referrals — cutting weeks of back-and-forth down to minutes — and how they're building one of the most AI-native companies in healthcare.

Hvordan møter vi rollen som forelder i dag og hvordan gjør vi det i ulike familiekonstellasjoner?I denne episoden går vi i dybden på foreldrerollen og spesielt rollen som far. Du får møte professor i gestaltterapi og forfatter, Vikram Kolmannskog, som deler fra egen reise som far og selvobserverende forfatter de siste 4 årene. Han deler åpent hvordan han som fagperson møtte seg selv i døra flere ganger, og hvilke utfordringer han og hans partner møtte på som to fedre i en familiekonstellasjon sammen med moren til sønnen. Som utdannet jurist ble han overrasket over hvordan det norske samfunnet verdsetter far og ulike familie sammensetninger rent juridistisk og i møte med helse- og omsorgssystemet. Vikram løfter frem hvordan han har jobbet med seg selv i møte med sin sønn, og hvordan dette hjalp ham å reflektere rundt farsrollen i møte med dagens samfunn. Han deler videre hvordan de håndterte møtene med systemet, og hvordan de, som skeive partnere og storfamilie, jobber for å skape to gode hjem for sin sønn.Sammen med Jimmy ser de på hvordan kjønnsroller og det polariserte klimaet i samfunnet påvirker opplevelsen som foreldre, og hvordan jaget etter det “perfekte” har endret samfunnet. Vikram Kolmannskog jobber som professor i gestaltterapi ved Norsk Gestaltinstitutt. Han har bakgrunn som jurist med spesialisering i menneskerettigheter, der han fikk sin doktorgrad i 2014 ved Institutt for kriminologi og rettssosiologi på UiO. Han ble samtidig utdannet gestaltterapeut i 2014, før han startet som førsteamanuensis i gestaltterapi. Hovedvekten av Vikrams arbeid består i forskning, undervisning og veiledning på terapiutdanningen. Han brenner for formidling og er en aktiv skribent og forfatter med flere utgitte bøker som Den tomme stolen - fortellinger fra gestaltterapi og den seneste fra 2026 rundt farsrollen - Reflections on Parenting from a Gestalt Therapist-father. God lytting!

Topics include: • Understanding Gestalt therapy and its focus on awareness, mindfulness, and relational dialogue in both therapy and everyday life. • Applying Gestalt and mindfulness strategies to parenting, especially around navigating emotions (both our kids' and our own), while aiming to be a “good enough” dad. • Exploring co-parenting in an intentional, non-traditional family structure with two fathers and a mother, and the legal, social, and personal challenges encountered. • The importance of allowing and naming all emotions, including anger, for both children and adults, and breaking emotional taboos in parenting. • Navigating cultural and institutional heteronormativity around family structures and parenthood, and advocating for greater inclusivity. • The value of playful parenting, eco-parenting, and the influence of childlike spontaneity and joy on both personal and professional life. • Creating safe and open environments for children to freely express gender and identity, while preparing them for a world that isn't always accepting. • And more!   LINKSVikram Kolmannskog (homepage)Reflections on Parenting From a Gestalt Therapist Father: Life With Leo.Vikram Kolmannskog (Instagram)Vikram Kolmannskog (Facebook)DEATH AND (homepage)DEATH AND (YouTube)This Headache Journey (Apple Podcasts)Caspar BabypantsSpencer AlbeeModern Dadhood (website)AdamFlaherty.tvStuffed Animal (Marc's kids' music)MD (Instagram)MD (Facebook)MD (YouTube)MD (TikTok) #moderndadhood #fatherhood #parenthood #parenting #parentingpodcast #dadding #dadpodcast

The 2026 Winter Olympics are unfolding in Milan and Cortina, and we can't look away: We're watching athletes fly down mountains on skis and glide — sometimes slipping and falling — on the ice. Vikram Chib studies performance and how the brain responds to rewards at Johns Hopkins University. And he says rewards aren't just for Olympians; they're baked into basically everything humans do. But those rewards and the pressure that comes with them can come at a cost to people's brains. And even Olympians are human. Sometimes, we crack. So, today, Vikram dives into the science behind choking under pressure. Interested in more Olympics science?

Vikram Seth, a leader in technology-driven hiring innovation, believes companies improve dramatically when they look beyond resumes and adopt structured, consistent evaluation methods.

The result is a more efficient, equitable, and data-informed hiring workflow that helps businesses scale with confidence. Vikram also emphasizes the power of global talent and why embracing modern staffing models opens new doors for growth.

How AI and Digital Transformation Are Reshaping Heavy Equipment Dealerships with Vikram SavkarIn this episode, host Josh Elledge speaks with Vikram Savkar, CEO of VitalEdge Technologies, about how AI, ERP systems, and digital transformation are redefining heavy equipment dealerships across agriculture, construction, forestry, mining, and material handling. Vikram shares how industry-specific ERP platforms create operational leverage in a margin-sensitive environment and explains why incremental efficiency gains often produce the greatest competitive advantage. This blog captures the most important insights from their conversation, offering a clear roadmap for dealership leaders navigating modernization and AI adoption.Why Industry-Specific ERP and AI Matter in Heavy Equipment DealershipsVikram explains that heavy equipment dealerships operate in a uniquely complex environment, where individual assets can cost hundreds of thousands—or even millions—of dollars and where service, inventory, finance, and field operations must function in perfect coordination. Generic ERP platforms often fall short because they are not built to handle equipment lifecycles, parts logistics, mobile technicians, or industry-specific workflows. Purpose-built ERP systems allow dealerships to gain visibility across operations, reduce inefficiencies, and make better decisions faster.Digital transformation, Vikram notes, is not about sweeping disruption but about stacking small operational improvements that compound over time. Faster service response, tighter inventory management, and improved procurement workflows can significantly impact cash flow and customer satisfaction.
