Møt "pappaen til Eddie". Dave Lights aka David Beasley er en legende å regne i Iron Maiden-sammenheng. Oppfinner, lysmann, pyrotekniker, scenograf, designer og skulptøren bak de første Eddie-hodene på scenen og de vandrende kjempe-Eddiene som Maiden er blitt så kjent for i sine show. I mitt hode var Dave Lights bandets åttende medlem i de tidlige årene sammen med Derek Riggs (coverart), Martin Birch (produsent) og de fem musikerne som til en hver tid spilte i bandet.Her setter vi oss ned foran et par hundre ihuga fans under minifestivalen "Hallowed be thy Kopervik" og mimrer tilbake til første gangen Dave møtte Steve Harris og sørget for at Iron Maiden fikk sitt første øvingslokale. Gjennom veggene hørte Dave låter som "Iron Maiden", "Wrathchild" og "Phantom of the Opera" bli skapt. Ikke bare er han et viktig tidsvitne, men også en av ildsjelene som kan ta mye av æren for at Iron Maiden tok steget fra de små klubbene i 1975 til verdensherredømme i 1985. For hva hadde Iron Maiden vært uten Eddie, de storslagne kulissene, pyroeffektene og de fantastiske lysriggene?

It provides a cleaner, more standards-compliant, faster API than you are likely to write from scratch. Speedy First the server is written in Haskell using the Warp HTTP server (aka a compiled language with lightweight threads). Next it delegates as much calculation as possible to the database. Finally it uses the database efficiently with the Hasql library PostgREST handles authentication (via JSON Web Tokens) and delegates authorization to the role information defined in the database. This ensures there is a single declarative source of truth for security.

He also served as a state representative from 1981 until 1995. Early life Beasley was born in Lamar, South Carolina. He is the son of Richard Lee Beasley and Jacqueline (Blackwell) Beasley. He graduated from Lamar High School in 1975, then attended the Capitol Page School in Washington, DC while serving as a page in the U.S. Congress.[2] Early political career Elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives at age 20, Beasley transferred from Clemson University to the University of South Carolina where he received a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies in 1979 and a J.D. from the School of Law in 1983.[3] Beasley was a member of the South Carolina House representing the Society Hill area from 1979 until 1995, serving as majority whip from 1985 to 1986 and the majority leader from 1987 to 1989.[4] He served as the youngest Speaker pro tempore and Majority Leader in the nation.[5] During the 1991–92 legislative session Beasley switched to the Republican Party.[6] During the 1994 election for governor, both Beasley and his Democratic opponent Lieutenant Governor Nick Theodore faced tough primary opposition within their respective parties. Beasley defeated his toughest competitor, former congressman and state senator Arthur Ravenel Jr., in both the primary and run-off, and went on to win the general election by a narrow margin of 50%–48%.[6] Governor South Carolina had a strong economy while Beasley was governor, with unemployment at a record-low 3.5% in 1998. [7] Beasley often made known his Christ-centered beliefs and conservatism in a state known for its strong ties to Christianity and conservative politics.[8] Beasley strongly opposed gambling, which was legal in South Carolina until 2002.[9] At the time, many gas stations, convenience stores, and poker "casinos" were established across the state, and as Beasley supported legislation that would outlaw gambling, the video poker industry generated "Ban Beasley" billboards and radio ads.[10] Until 2000, the Confederate flag flew atop the South Carolina State House. It had been raised over the Capitol dome in celebration of the Civil War centennial. This celebration started in 1961 with the raising of the Army of Tennessee Battle Flag over the State House Dome. The Army of Tennessee Battle Flags were also displayed in the inner chambers of the SC Senate and SC House of Representatives.
Host Jamie McGoldrick speaks with David Beasley. He served as the Executive Director of the World Food Programme from 2017 until April 2023, and he's had a long career in U.S. politics which includes over a decade in Congress. David was the head of the WFP when it won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2020. The conversation focuses on the growing challenges in getting food to hungry people around the world. David explains that conflicts are the biggest obstacle to ending hunger by 2030, a goal set by the United Nations. Jamie and David discuss the war in Ukraine and the impact it's having on food, with grain and fertilizer supply and delivery restricted. David says the suspension of the Black Sea grain deal will have catastrophic effects on the poor and hungry. Finally, David lays out what he would like to see governments and large corporations do to aid in stopping world hunger.
Sarah Montague speaks to David Beasley, the outgoing head of the World Food Programme. During his tenure, the agency's budget has more than doubled but the number of those close to famine is growing and conflict is disrupting food supply. How can the world's most hungry be fed?

Contagion is a medical term, but it applies to the banking world, too. Investors are worried that the problems at a handful of American banks could ripple across the world economy and that unexpected surprises may be lurking. And, Ecuador finds a novel way to convert seized cocaine into cement. Also, the outgoing head of the UN's World Food Program, David Beasley, has long argued that growing global food insecurity should be addressed with structural solutions — not handouts. Beasley talks about how the world can adapt to the new, worrisome challenges hunger poses. Plus, the latest sounds from the innovator of the Hindustani slide guitar, Debashish Bhattacharya.
The causes of global hunger are many and well-known: conflict, climate and in too many cases, cruelty. But it is the job of the United Nations World Food Programme to push through those barriers to feed hundreds of millions in need. The WFP won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2020 under the leadership of David Beasley. He joined Amna Nawaz to discuss how to address growing global hunger.

The coronavirus is currently listed as a category 5 communicable disease under the Communicable Disease Control Act. A category 5 virus calls for the "formulation of preventive and control measures or preparedness plans," including the establishment of the epidemic command center. According to Wang, the government may takes steps to ease epidemic protocols after observing a steady decline in the number of domestic cases since the 228 long weekend holiday. **Drought Operations Center Opens in Tainan ** The Tainan City Government has established a Drought Operations Center in response to the lack of rainfall since last year, which has forced it to lower water pressure. According to Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che, the south is experiencing its lowest annual precipitation for 30 years and as a result of that, the city government has been forced to raise its water alert level from "yellow" to the more severe "orange alert." The move means that supplies of water for commercial (商業的) use will be limited. According to the Water Resources Agency, levels at reservoirs that serve the Tainan are all below 50-percent of capacity. **Italy Pushes India on Russian War in Ukraine ** Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is urging India to play a central role in facilitating (促成) negotiations to end the Russian war against Ukraine. India, with the rotating presidency of the Group of 20 industrialized and developing countries, could represent the needs of less-developed nations, Meloni said following talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Modi reiterated his cautious stand by reaffirming that peace can be achieved only through diplomacy and dialogue. He said India is ready to support a peace initiative in that direction. Both sides called for expanding cooperation in defense, green energy, digital transition, cybersecurity and space. **US House Ethics Panel Investigating NY Representative ** From the US….. New York Representative George Santos is now under investigation by a House ethics panel. AP correspondent Norman Hall reports. **UN Names New World Food Program Head ** U.S. Ambassador Cindy McCain has been appointed the next head of the U.N.

Campaign 1996For me it was the campaign of my lifetime. No race ever equaled the life altering impact of that year in my life. This was the year that I got to see up-close two of the political figures I most admired, Senator Bob Dole of Kansas and Strom Thurmond. The South Carolina Presidential Primary turned out to be the most important of all the primaries that year as Bob Dole was in a fight for his political Presidential survival and two Governors and Strom Thurmond stepped in to help him win it. Then that same organization stepped up to insure that Strom Thurmond was re-elected to a 8th term. I was a tiny little cog as a volunteer and College Republican Chairman at Lander University in Greenwood S.C. and after graduating I helped out in my hometown of Myrtle Beach. I had been around politics all my life but it was 1996 that I got to be right there, for the first time, at the feet of two of the political figures I most admired as they campaigned across South Carolina, first in the upstate for Dole and then for Thurmond in the Low Country. In the Thurmond race there really was only one issue and that was the Senator's age. National publications were trying to cast doubt on the Senator's mental fitness ( a totally bogus charge, I was there and the man was amazing) , the Democrats from Washington D.C. had recruited a billionaire member of the Springs Mills family, a huge textile company, in Elliot Close, and finally there had begun an influx of new residents into the state that were not as familiar with Thurmond's actual record of constituent service as the native Carolinians had been. If ever Senator Thurmond appeared to be vulnerable in his 74 year career, this was it. But D.C. just did not know S.C. as well as it thought it did. Thurmond put together an incredible team to shore up his political defenses. He had two governors, Carroll Campbell and David Beasley working on his behalf, arguably one of the best Republican Party Chairmen in the nation in Henry McMaster working for him, and three legendary political campaign people working on his behalf in Manager Tony Denny, and consultants Cindy Carter Thompson and a very young Robert Cahaly (The Trafalgar Group) all on the team. Not only that, he had the State's Lieutenant Governor Bob Peeler and its Speaker of the House David Wilkins on Board and Myrtle Beach's famous State Representative Mark Kelly all working overtime to insure Thurmond won. And let's not forget, the two day - 10 county nonstop bus trip across the state, known as "The Thurmondator Bus Tour" where Strom Thurmond himself barnstormed the state, courthouse to courthouse, festival to festival, just like a campaign of old. Elliot Close did not know what hit him. This episode is that story and you will be able to relive as much of it as I was able to save. By the time this show is over you will be quoting the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, "I feel Good!!!" As Mr. Brown makes an appearance to help Senator Thurmond celebrate this final election victory to capstone his incredible life and career. ** I wish to acknowledge the fine work of WIS TV 10, SC ETV, and CNN for their news broadcasts that we used in putting these three podcasts together, much of which was aired over a three day period when the senator passed away.

David Beasley discusses the global food crisis, including how the UN World Food Program is working to respond to increasing global food insecurity as a result of the conflict in Ukraine.
UN World Food Program head David Beasley announced yesterday that global food rations for refugees will need to be cut in half due to the unprecedented food crisis. How much of this crisis is man-made as the elites use food as a weapon in what has turned out to be a futile effort to punish Russia? How much of the food and energy crisis is actually being cheered by those pushing the "green" agenda? Also today: Slovakia miffed that Germany won't replace junky Soviet tanks sent to Ukraine with shiny new German models for free.
Matpriserna skenar i stora delar av världen till följd av Putins krig i Ukraina. Detta kan leda till nya konflikter, krig och oro i andra delar av världen. Putins anfallskrig har vänt världens blickar mot Ukraina, men det har också fått konsekvenser för andra delar av världen. För ett resultat av Rysslands blockad mot ukrainska hamnar i Odessa i Svarta havet är att priset på spannmål och annan mat stiger kraftigt.Varför är det så? Ryssland och Ukraina är bland de största spannmålsproducenterna i världen och när deras spannmål inte når marknaden riskerar stora delar av världen att hamna i svält. Andra orsaker till matkrisen som vi ser just nu är torka och ökade priser för bränsle och andra produktionskostnader. Ekonomen Fredrik Wilhelmsson vid Lunds Universitet berättar att priser på spannmål redan var på väg upp innan kriget i Ukraina och att det också finns andra faktorer som gör att priset på mat nu stiger.Allt detta leder till vad David Beasley, chefen för FN:s livsmedelsprogram, kallat "en perfekt storm". I en intervju med Konflikt varnar David Beasley att i jämförelse med dagens situation kan Syrienkriget komma att framstå som en "picknick" och han berättar hur han försökt sätta press på Rysslands president Vladimir Putin att häva blockaden av hamnarna i Odessa i Ukraina.För nu tror många att matkrisen också kan leda till andra konflikter i världen. Svält och hunger är viktiga faktorer när det kommer till krig och oroligheter. Caroline Delgado på SIPRI berättar mer om det.I programmet hör vi röster från Jakobsberg utanför Stockholm där de höga livsmedelspriserna lett till konflikter i familjer där pengarna inte räcker till mat. Vi hör röster från Somalia dit svälten redan har kommit och vi hör om Mali där läget just nu är kritiskt.I Egypten, en av världens största importörer av spannmål, arbetar regimen för att försöka stävja att de höjda matpriserna ska leda till nya oroligheter. Höga priser på bröd har historiskt lett till våldsamma protester i Egypten och ilska mot höga matpriser var också ett slagord i revolterna över stora delar av Arabvärlden under den Arabiska våren 2011. Oroligheter som sen också ledde fram till blodiga krig i länder som Libyen, Jemen och Syrien. Vår korrespondent Cecilia Uddén rapporterar från Egypten.Niklas Granholm på FOI berättar om hur världens handel med mat idag sitter ihop som i ett blodomlopp och där kriget i Ukraina nu har orsakat en propp i systemet vilket gör att priserna skenar. Han beskriver också planerna på att göra en militär operation för att stoppa Putins blockad av hamnarna i Odessa i Ukraina och eskortera transportfartygen med spannmål genom Svarta havet.Så vad kan vi göra för att stävja utvecklingen och skapa mer stabilitet eller är det redan försent och är det en värld med massflykt som nu väntar oss?Rättelse: I den första version av programmet nämndes en felaktig uppgift om att Egypten är Afrikas folkrikaste land något som inte stämmer. Uppgiften är rättad. Programledare: Robin Olinrobin.olin@sverigesradio.seProducent och reporter.Simon Moser och Anja Sahlbergsimon.moser@sverigeradio.seanja.sahlberg@sverigesradio.se

I en intervju med Konflikt varnar David Beasley att i jämförelse med dagens situation kan Syrienkriget komma att framstå som en "picknick" och han berättar hur han försökt sätta press på Rysslands president Vladimir Putin att häva blockaden av hamnarna i Odessa i Ukraina.För nu tror många att matkrisen också kan leda till andra konflikter i världen. Svält och hunger är viktiga faktorer när det kommer till krig och oroligheter. Caroline Delgado på SIPRI berättar mer om det.I programmet hör vi röster från Jakobsberg utanför Stockholm där de höga livsmedelspriserna lett till konflikter i familjer där pengarna inte räcker till mat. Vi hör röster från Somalia dit svälten redan har kommit och vi hör om Mali där läget just nu är kritiskt.I Egypten, en av världens största importörer av spannmål, arbetar regimen för att försöka stävja att de höjda matpriserna ska leda till nya oroligheter. Höga priser på bröd har historiskt lett till våldsamma protester i Egypten och ilska mot höga matpriser var också ett slagord i revolterna över stora delar av Arabvärlden under den Arabiska våren 2011. Oroligheter som sen också ledde fram till blodiga krig i länder som Libyen, Jemen och Syrien. Vår korrespondent Cecilia Uddén rapporterar från Egypten.Niklas Granholm på FOI berättar om hur världens handel med mat idag sitter ihop som i ett blodomlopp och där kriget i Ukraina nu har orsakat en propp i systemet vilket gör att priserna skenar. Han beskriver också planerna på att göra en militär operation för att stoppa Putins blockad av hamnarna i Odessa i Ukraina och eskortera transportfartygen med spannmål genom Svarta havet.Så vad kan vi göra för att stävja utvecklingen och skapa mer stabilitet eller är det redan försent och är det en värld med massflykt som nu väntar oss?Programledare: Robin Olinrobin.olin@sverigesradio.seProducent och reporter.Simon Moser och Anja Sahlbergsimon.moser@sverigeradio.seanja.sahlberg@sverigesradio.se
Connaissez-vous notre site ? www.lenouvelespritpublic.frUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 3 juin 2022.Avec cette semaine :Nicolas Baverez, essayiste et avocat.Nicole Gnesotto, vice-présidente de l'Institut Jacques Delors.Marc-Olivier Padis, directeur des études de la fondation Terra Nova.Richard Werly, correspondant à Paris du quotidien helvétique Blick. PAP NDIAYE : NOUVEAU MINISTRE OU NOUVELLE POLITIQUE ? La nomination, le 20 mai, de Pap Ndiaye comme ministre de l'Éducation nationale et de la jeunesse a provoqué une vague de critiques venant de l'extrême droite et d'une partie du monde intellectuel. L'historien de 56 ans, jusqu'ici à la tête du Musée national de l'histoire de l'immigration, serait un « indigéniste assumé » pour Marine Le Pen, tandis qu'Éric Zemmour déclare : « Emmanuel Macron avait dit qu'il fallait déconstruire l'histoire de France. Pap Ndiaye va s'en charger. » Une partie du monde intellectuel reproche à l'auteur de La Condition noire. Essai sur une minorité française, d'avoir importé des États-Unis - où il a étudié - une analyse des minorités sous le prisme des études américaines, faisant la part belle à la notion de « race ». « L'arrivée de Pap Ndiaye tranche assurément avec le républicanisme radical de M. Blanquer, souligne le sociologue Michel Wieviorka. Mais arrêtons de caricaturer une pensée nuancée et complexe sur un champ politique jusque-là ignoré dans notre pays : la condition noire. »Ce chercheur reconnu, né d'un père sénégalais et d'une mère française, est ancien élève de l'École normale supérieure de Saint-Cloud, agrégé d'histoire et titulaire d'un doctorat de l'École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS). Il a passé sept ans aux États-Unis à l'université de Virginie. Professeur à Sciences Po et à l'EHESS, il est spécialiste des questions liées aux minorités. Sa participation à la fondation du Conseil représentatif des associations noires (CRAN) en 2005 et ses prises de position en faveur des statistiques ethniques et de politiques de discriminations positives font polémique. M. Ndiaye, « est une personnalité extrêmement respectée, un très grand universitaire », a souligné le député du MoDem, Jean-Louis Bourlanges, avant d'estimer au sujet de sa nomination : « Nous passons quand même d'une culture politique exigeante en matière de laïcité à une culture politique très différente. […] Je ne voudrais pas que les valeurs fondamentales de laïcité et la liberté de l'esprit ne soient pas défendues avec la même énergie ».Principal syndicat enseignant du second degré, le Snes-FSU s'est félicité, à travers cette nomination, d'une « rupture avec Jean-Michel Blanquer à plus d'un titre ». Mais « l'Éducation nationale ne se gouverne pas uniquement à coup de symboles », a mis en garde le syndicat.La Première ministre Elisabeth Borne défend « la compétence, l'énergie et la détermination » de son ministre « un républicain très engagé, quelqu'un qui croit aux valeurs de la République et c'est bien évidemment ce qu'il va porter en tant que ministre de l'éducation nationale ». Sa sœur, l'écrivaine Marie Ndiaye, prix Goncourt 2009, le définit comme « l'homme du consensus, ou du compromis ».***CRISE ALIMENTAIRE MONDIALE « Le nombre de personnes souffrant d'insécurité alimentaire grave a doublé, passant de 135 millions avant la pandémie à 276 millions aujourd'hui », observe le Secrétaire général des Nations unies, Antonio Guterres. Le directeur exécutif du Programme alimentaire mondial des Nations unies (PAM), David Beasley alerte : « Les conflits armés, la crise climatique et le Covid-19 ont créé une tempête à laquelle s'ajoute la guerre en Ukraine. Des millions de personnes dans des dizaines de pays sont poussées au bord de la famine ». Le directeur adjoint du PAM, Gian Carlo Cirri rappelle qu'en 2008 « l'augmentation spectaculaire des coûts (des denrées alimentaires) allait provoquer des émeutes de la faim qui, en s'accentuant encore en 2011, allait s'achever avec les Printemps arabes. Le danger de déstabilisation politique et sociétale est aujourd'hui énorme. On le voit déjà au Sri Lanka, au Pérou ou en Tunisie. Certains gouvernements doivent se faire de gros soucis. » La Banque mondiale a annoncé, le 18 mai, qu'elle allait consacrer, au cours des quinze prochains mois, 12 milliards de dollars à de nouveaux projets de réponse à la crise alimentaire. Elle promet plus de 30 milliards de dollars disponibles pour les quinze prochains mois.En proie à une sécheresse exceptionnelle, l'Inde a annoncé, le 14 mai, suspendre ses exportations de blé, déstabilisant un marché déjà en tension et faisant redouter une envolée des prix. En effet, la sécheresse au Canada et aux Etats-Unis a affecté le « blé d'hiver », tandis que la faible pluviométrie du printemps laisse craindre une baisse des rendements en France. La guerre menée par la Russie en Ukraine a rendu plus critique la situation, les deux pays assurant à eux seuls 30% du commerce mondial de blé. En mars, le panier de produits alimentaires de la FAO avait déjà crû de 33,6 % sur un an, record absolu depuis la création de cet indice il y a plus de trente ans. Hausse des prix et pénuries font planer un risque de famine et de troubles sociaux. Les plus touchés sont l'Afghanistan, l'Éthiopie, la République démocratique du Congo, le Nigeria, le Pakistan, le Yémen, l'Angola et la Somalie. Les trois premiers sont également les pays où le nombre des enfants sous-alimentés est le plus élevé.Le secrétaire d'État américain, Antony Blinken, a accusé Moscou de se servir de la nourriture comme d'une arme en Ukraine, en prenant « en otage » les livraisons alimentaires destinées à des millions d'Ukrainiens, mais aussi à des millions de personnes dans le monde dépendantes des exportations du pays. Moscou a rétorqué que ce n'est en aucun cas l'entrée de son armée en Ukraine qui provoquait une crise alimentaire, mais les sanctions occidentales décidées en représailles.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this executive profile of former South Carolina Governor, David Beasley, we talk about winning the Nobel Peace Prize, the United Nations World Food Programme, the power of food in international negotiations and the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.
The pains of every war ripple out beyond the borders of the conflict zone. And as the war between Russia and Ukraine drags on, the disruptions in the global food supply chain are beginning to deepen the already dire hunger crisis around the world. Ukraine and Russia combined export 30% of the world's wheat, in addition to other food supplies. Now, because of the ongoing war, the price of food worldwide is skyrocketing and 38 countries are facing acute food insecurity, meaning they are just one step from famine.NPR global health and development correspondent Nurith Aizenman reports on how the war is driving up prices. David Beasley, executive director of the UN World Food Programme, talks about how food insecurity looks inside of Ukraine, and what is to come for the rest of the world.In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

It's been a potentially monumental day as Russia says it's drastically pulling back its assault on Kyiv and Chernihiv. US officials say they see a major strategy shift on the ground, as Moscow appears to be pulling its forces away. Russia's defense minister this morning said the main tasks of their operation are completed. And Turkey's foreign minister hailed today's negotiations in Istanbul as the “most meaningful progress” yet. Joining the show to analyze these myriad developments are former US Ambassador to NATO Ivo Daalder and the Director General of Russia's International Affairs Council Andrey Kortunov. Also appearing in today's episode: the UN's Matilda Bogner, who is heading up their human rights monitoring mission in Ukraine; and David Beasley, executive director of the World Food Programme.

Russia's war on Ukraine has had ripple effects throughout the international community but new reports suggest the disruption of grain and fertilizer exports from Ukraine and Russia could exacerbate existing supply issues and cause a global food crisis. At an emergency NATO meeting in Brussels, world leaders acknowledged the threat of global food insecurity with President Biden saying that large-scale food shortages are "going to be real." World Food Programme chief David Beasley joins us to discuss how his organization is delivering food to the people of Ukraine as war rages, how crucial Ukrainian and Russian exports are in the global food supply chain, the monetary struggles facing the World Food Program, and what kind of impact world hunger issues would have on the United States. Moderna announced it will seek emergency authorization of its COVID vaccine for children younger than six although it has a relatively low level of protection. The announcement comes as schools across the country lift their mask mandates. As more and more institutions remove their COVID restrictions, CEOs of the nation's largest airlines have asked the Biden administration to drop the mask mandate on airplanes and testing requirements for travelers. Senior Scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, Dr. Amesh Adalja joins the Rundown to discuss how Omicron decreased vaccine efficacy, second booster shots for adults, and why he thinks the mask mandate on airplanes is not necessary.

Food price inflation was already a problem. Could the conflict make things even worse? Ukraine and Russia are both major food exporters. Tamasin Ford looks at how the war in Ukraine is affecting global prices. Food price inflation was already a major problem in many parts of the world, and there are fears that the conflict will make matters even worse. David Beasley, Executive Director of the World Food Programme, says millions of people in Ukraine will now be at risk of food insecurity as a result of the conflict, and fears knock-on effects for countries such as Lebanon, Syria and Tunisia, which are major importers of grains from Ukraine. Ivanna Dorichenko, managing director of consultancy firm TRADAIDE and an expert in international arbitration, says the situation in Ukraine is devastating, and that much of the country's agricultural infrastructure has been destroyed by the Russian invasion. Andrey Sizov, head of research firm SovEcon, is an expert on agriculture in the Black Sea region. He says the war in Ukraine is already paralysing exports , with shipping companies refusing to send vessels into areas potentially disrupted by the conflict Wandile Sihlobo, chief economist of the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa, says the conflict will have an impact on African countries which buy grains from Ukraine, many of which were already struggling with rising food prices.

Electric vehicle start-up Rivian Automotive is targeting a market valuation of as much as $54.6 billion in its upcoming initial public offering, according to its amended prospectus filed Monday. The company said it plans to offer 135 million shares priced between $57 and $62, with an option for underwriters to purchase up to 20.25 million additional shares. At the high end of that range, Rivian would bring in roughly $9.6 billion in its market debut, assuming underwriters exercise that option. Elon Musk is now worth more than $300 billion, and he's apparently ready to start spending. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO — whose net worth has ballooned by more than $140 billion this year, thanks largely to the skyrocketing value of his electric automaker — tweeted Sunday that he was willing to consider a proposal from a United Nations official who said that a $6 billion donation from one of the world's wealthiest people could help stop world hunger. Last week, David Beasley, the director of the UN's World Food Program, told CNN that it was time for the ultra-wealthy to “step up now, on a one-time basis” in order to “help 42 million people that are literally going to die if we don't reach them.” He specifically mentioned Musk and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, the two richest men in the world. Amazon aims to launch its first Project Kuiper internet satellites in the fourth quarter of 2022, the company announced Monday. The technology giant filed a request with the Federal Communications Commission to launch and operate its first two prototype satellites, called KuiperSat-1 and KuiperSat-2. Amazon said the satellites will launch with ABL Space on its RS1 rocket.
“Too much is not a good thing” Every time we go to the grocery store, we are surrounded by a seemingly infinite bounty of food. We may choose a yogurt thinking it is a healthy option only to realize it has as much sugar as a doughnut. Surrounded by choice, children in America and around the world are not getting the nutrition they need to grow healthy and strong. In the second episode of Better Food. Better World., we talk about who is at the ‘top' of the food chain and uncover the growing nutrition crisis raging from food deserts in the US to parts of Africa living on the edge of food security. Host Elizabeth Nyamayaro is in New York for this episode surrounded by an abundance of food choices. But this episode's guests, Dr. Agnes Kalibata, UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy to the 2021 Food Systems Summit; Stephen Grimaldi, Executive Director of New York Common Pantry; and Lauren Bush Lauren, Founder and CEO of FEED, reveal the truth about all of the choice: much of the food we eat lacks nutritional value. What's worse, children and our climate are paying the price. Finally, David Beasley, Executive Director of the World Food Programme challenges audience members at the UN Food Systems Summit with the question, “If we're so rich, how come hunger still exists?” From the top of the food chain to the bottom, hunger is an ‘all of us' issue. Key Moments 3:35 - Elizabeth shares how an abundance of food choices shaped her childhood and her life in New York City. 6:57 - Dr. Agnes Kalibata alerts listeners to the growing nutritional crisis and food deserts. 10:55 - Elizabeth visits a leading New York food pantry and speaks with Stephen Grimaldi. 17:50 - Lauren Bush Lauren shares why she wanted to make a difference by giving children healthy food. 29:20 - Exec.
