When Bhuwan Kandel moved from Nepal to Gippsland in 2007 to pursue higher education, there were very few Nepali-speaking people in the region. Now a practising paediatrician, Dr Kandel says the regional city has become home, as the Nepali community there also continues to grow. Stories of migrants from various backgrounds building new lives in regional Victoria, including that of Dr Kandel, are featured in a new documentary titled Shared Table: Regional Heroes. During the film's premiere in Melbourne, SBS Nepali spoke with director and co-producer Nandita Chakraborty, producer Niru Tripathi and Dr Kandel about the movie and what it means to make Australia “home”. - भुवन कँडेल उच्च अध्ययनका लागि सन् २००७ मा नेपालबाट रिजनल भिक्टोरियाको शहर गिप्सल्यान्ड आएका थिए। त्यति बेला त्यहाँ नेपाली भाषा बोल्ने मानिसहरू निकै कम रहेको उनी बताउँछन्। अहिले बाल रोग विशेषज्ञका रूपमा कार्यरत डा. कँडेल भन्छन् कि नेपाली समुदाय पनि विस्तार हुँदै जाँदा गिप्सल्यान्ड नै अब उनको घर बनेको छ। डा. कँडेलजस्तै रिजनल भिक्टोरियामा बसोबास गर्दै आएका विविध पृष्ठभूमिका आप्रवासीहरूको जीवनकथा समावेश गरिएको वृत्तचित्र ‘शेयर्ड टेबल: रिजनल हिरोज‘ हालै मेलबर्नमा प्रस्तुत गरिएको थियो। उक्त चलचित्रका साथसाथै अस्ट्रेलियामा नयाँ जीवन निर्माण गर्ने बाटोका बारेमा निर्देशक तथा सह-निर्माता नन्दिता चक्रवर्ती, निर्माता निरु त्रिपाठी र डा. कँडेलसँग एसबीएस नेपालीले गरेको कुराकानी सुन्नुहोस्।

00:46 Evidence of the earliest fire Baked soil, ancient tools, and materials that could be used to start fires show that Neanderthals were making fire in the UK 400,000 years ago — the earliest evidence of this skill found so far. Ancient humans are known to have used naturally occurring fires, but evidence of deliberate fire-starting has been hard to come by. A new suite of evidence pushes back the date of fire mastery by 350,000 years. The team behind the finding believe it helps create a more nuanced picture of Neanderthals, who perhaps gathered round fires and told stories in ancient Europe. Research Article: Davis et al.News and Views: Oldest known evidence of the controlled ignition of fire11:31 Research HighlightsMachine-learning algorithms can help to identify traces of life in ancient rocks — plus, why paintings containing a vivid green pigment lose their lustre over time.

When most organic food brands faced pressure to sellto multinational corporations, Arjan Stephens and his family chose a different path. As President of Nature's Path Organic Foods, Stephens has helped steer the company his parents founded 40 years ago to become one of the last major independent organic brands in North America. Under his leadership, the company has not only resisted acquisition offers but has built a $40 million food bank donation program that proves purpose and profit can coexist. In this conversation, we explore how Nature's Path educated consumers on organic food before it was mainstream, thecompany's approach to brand architecture and innovation, why staying family-owned matters to their mission, and how they're using product lines like Love Crunch to address food insecurity.

Narnia's journey from book to screen … The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe got one TV animation (1979) Then the story (plus two more) came to live-action BBC TV (1988) Yet it was the Walden Media–made film that went bigger (2005) That film released just twenty years ago in the U.S., Dec. 9, 2005 Mark Joseph's role from those early days as Narnia pre-producer 2. … Through the winter of production … Stephen first learned this was official in a NY Times ad Dec. 2003. Early rumors included Disney aid (true), Kidman's Witch (untrue). Director: Andrew Adamson. Early casting. Scriptwriters and team. In the afterglow of LOTR, Narnia also filmed much in New Zealand. WETA Workshop did armor work. Other studios did visual effects. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe film released Dec. 9, 2005. 3. … And into the spring of fan acclaim Teasers and trailers pleased fans, with only a few early hiccups. Against a $180 million budget, earned $745 million worldwide. Led to two sequels that earned less. Ended. Restart didn't work. Now we have Greta Gerwig starting with The Magician's Nephew. Any informal shared advice, constructive criticism, final memories. Com station Top question for listeners How did you first see The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)? Terri Hamilton recalls her Narnia origin tale (ep. 289): I found the Narnia series in my school library when I was in 4th grade, and yes, they were in the proper order. It was a watershed moment for me. I bought myself a boxed set a few years later. Boy, did I look for portals! When I get into a discussion about the book order, I point out The Magician's Nephew is a prequel, explaining the back story of the first book. Next on Fantastical Truth “We do not celebrate Christmas that way.” “We do not read those kinds of books.” “We ‘do not handle, do not taste, do not touch.'” We know our world is full of rebellion against God's law. But many people overreact to moral license with a strict imposing of out-of-context or made-up laws. Faithful saints call this legalism, and Christian fantasy fans know plenty about this. When that social-media pastor rebukes your favorite sci-fi, or that relative raises a judgy eyebrow at holiday dinners, how you can respond with grace, truth, and love for legalists?

Episode 4981: Remembering Pearl Harbor 84 years Ago; Tina Peters Letter To President Trump

A DHS Inspector General's report from 2022 revealed virtually none of the Afghan refugees who hitched a ride on Operation Allies Welcome were vetted before they came to America. We see parallels between the "humanitarian rush" to relocate Afghans and how they hurried emergency use authorization of the Covid-19 shots. A common democrat strategy is to push people to the wire and rush them across the finish line, alleging "there's no time to wait!" Federal elections data shows the Seditious Six all got money from Act Blue "smurfs" whose identities were stolen to funnel millions of dark dollars into democrat campaigns.

Save Soil is a movement that has germinated from a seed that was planted 24 years ago by Sadhguru. In 1998, some environmental agencies predicted that by 2025, 60% of Tamil Nadu – India's southernmost state – will become a desert. But what Sadhguru observed and experienced was worse than what the agencies had predicted. This led Sadhguru to launch a movement to revitalize the world's severely depleting soil, water and agriculture. Set the context for a joyful, exuberant day with a short, powerful message from Sadhguru. Explore a range of subjects with Sadhguru, discover how every aspect of life can be a stepping stone, and learn to make the most of the potential that a human being embodies.  Conscious Planet: ⁠https://www.consciousplanet.org⁠ Sadhguru App (Download): ⁠https://onelink.to/sadhguru__app⁠ Official Sadhguru Website: ⁠https://isha.sadhguru.org⁠ Sadhguru Exclusive: ⁠https://isha.sadhguru.org/in/en/sadhguru-exclusive⁠ Inner Engineering Link: isha.co/ieo-podcast Yogi, mystic and visionary, Sadhguru is a spiritual master with a difference.

Weird stuff - glad it's in the past.

2/8. Clovis Culture and the American Extinction: Early Humans as Ecological Simplifiers — Dan Flores — The Clovis culture, emerging approximately 13,000 years ago, rapidly spread across North America in a remarkably brief timeframe. Flores connects the Clovis expansion to the "American extinction," wherein large megafauna including mammoths disappeared with striking rapidity. Flores explains that emerging scientific consensus attributes this ecological simplification to humans functioning as novel apex predators, potentially engaging in surplus killing behavior and inducing genomic isolation within animal populations, effectively severing breeding populations and accelerating extinction processes.

Let's be honest: taxes feel like that thing you're supposed to understand but somehow never learned, and now you're too embarrassed to ask. Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Neighbor Doug welcome Hannah Cole—artist-turned-tax-pro and author of the brand-new book Taxes for Humans—to finally explain taxes in language that doesn't require a CPA license to understand. Hannah's built her career translating tax code for freelancers, side hustlers, and small business owners who just want to know what they can deduct, what'll get them audited, and how to stop drowning in shoebox receipts. She breaks down the real difference between a legitimate business expense and wishful thinking, how to track startup costs without losing your mind, and why the bookkeeping system that works is the one you'll actually use (spoiler: it doesn't have to be fancy). Whether you're launching a side gig, running a creative business, or just trying to keep the IRS from ruining your holiday season, Hannah's got the roadmap. Then Joe and OG shift gears to tackle the "AI bubble" conversation everyone's having—is this tech hype justified, or are we watching 1999 all over again? They break down how to think about market froth without panicking, why smart investors don't build their strategy around TikTok prophets predicting doom, and how to prepare your portfolio for volatility without making fear-based moves. Plus: Doug delivers trivia about Richard Pryor's Blazing Saddles days, because even tax talk deserves a palate cleanser. What You'll Walk Away With: • Tax basics explained in actual human language (finally)—what counts as a deduction and what's just wishful thinking • How to set up simple, sustainable bookkeeping systems for side gigs or small businesses that you'll actually maintain • The smartest way to track startup expenses without drowning in receipts or spreadsheets • Why the IRS isn't as scary as you think when you've got your basics covered • How to think about AI market hype without getting swept up in either the euphoria or the panic • Smart strategies for preparing your portfolio for volatility without making emotion-driven decisions • Why the right tax and investing systems buy you back time, creativity, and peace of mind This Episode Is For You If: • You've been winging it on taxes and know you're probably missing deductions (or making mistakes) • You run a side hustle but have no idea what you can actually write off • Tax season makes you anxious because you're never sure if you're doing it right • You're hearing AI bubble talk everywhere and wondering if you should be worried about your investments • You want systems that are simple enough to actually follow, not perfect enough to abandon by February Before You Hit Play, Think About This: What's the tax mistake you wish you could warn your younger self about? Drop it in the comments—we're all learning here, and sometimes the best lessons come from what we got wrong the first time.
