Episode Summary: In this Aerospace Advantage episode, Heather “Lucky” Penney chats about how we gain the combination of advanced capabilities and necessary mass for tomorrow's munition's inventory with Jeff Peters and Dr. Kathy Bihari of BAE, plus Mitchell Institute's JV Venable. There's no question about it: America requires a large inventory of precision strike munitions to successfully deter opponents, and, if necessary, execute a sustained, high intensity conflict against a peer adversary. The ability to rapidly hit thousands of enemy targets with precision munitions in hundreds of hours is essential to secure victory in the modern era. A variety of factors, especially limited budgets, have long curtailed Department of Defense efforts to secure ample munitions stocks. This is particularly problematic for the Air Force given its responsibilities for projecting the preponderance of striking power over long ranges and behind enemy lines. It's also important to recognize that all munitions are not created equal. There are various classes and quantities of targets that shape different munitions requirements and costs. This episode will focus on how the Department of Defense and the Air Force work to field a munitions portfolio that provides the necessary mass and achieve the low cost-per-kill and high kills-per-sortie via penetrating aircraft required to defeat peer aggression. Join us to learn from those innovating tomorrow's solutions.

As one of three durable solutions traditionally available for refugees, third-country resettlement is an important part of the international commitment to refugee protection and support. Yet the vast majority of refugees in need of resettlement as a durable solution in 2021 are unlikely to be resettled. In 2020, amid a global pandemic, resettlement numbers reached a record low: only 22,770 (1.6 percent) of the 1.4 million refugees in need of resettlement were resettled. In a recent paper, The Future of Refugee Resettlement & Complementary Pathways: Strengthening sustainable and strategic humanitarian solutions for refugees, Church World Service (CWS) argues that resettlement can and should be a humanitarian program to find protection for individuals and strategically contribute to the resolution of situations of forced displacement. However, achieving these goals will require political, structural, and operational changes. In particular, CWS makes the case that complementary pathways represent untapped opportunities for refugees to improve their lives through migration and proposes several key recommendations to advance complementary pathways and resettlement in the future. This joint event organized by MPI and CWS, one of nine U.S. refugee resettlement agencies, brings together experts in the field to discuss the paper. As its primary author, Katherine Rehberg, Deputy Vice President of the Immigration and Refugee Program at CWS, presented the key findings and recommendations. The discussion then turned to the European Asylum Support Office’s work to foster closer international cooperation on resettlement submissions and processing, as well as what those experiences hold for wider cooperation between countries on resettlement processing, particularly outside the European Union. In addition, the conversation focused on what is required to implement complementary pathways at an international level.

The Nigeria Labour congress chapter in Lagos State has said all sectors including aviation, banks and others would be shut as workers would gather together to protest on Sept. 28.

"“We are the workers and we are withdrawing our services; we have the right to do so because protests are our constitutional right.“And I believe we will enforce it; schools shall remain closed until this action ends, ” he said.Asogwuni advised Nigerians to support the protest, “We must ensure that all sectors remained shut as a voice to the government to respond to the cry of Nigerians. “On the issue of PMS, what was expected of government was to engage its socio-partners which include labour as a stakeholder. “The government did not do that at a time it ought to; it failed in its duty to engage labour before time. “On the issue of electricity, government had earlier had an interaction with labour in Kano and we discouraged it from proceeding. “It was a big shock that it still went ahead to dare Nigerians; people depend on power and you cannot wake up over night and strengthen suffering. “We resist it and call on Nigerians to join, because in democracy it is our voice that makes the difference,” he said.

In this podcast, we're talking about "the good life." What is it exactly that we want students to have in their future? Is it a great career, a content lifestyle, a family, solidarity, freedom, respect for one another, a mixture of all of the above? And if we can't agree on that question or at least have somewhat unified goals in getting there, how can education exist to serve that question? In addition, do teachers have and deserve "the good life"?We've spoken to various educators from across the world, and I hope you enjoy listening to their amazing thoughts and ideas.Guests, in order of appearance:Steven Gumbay, who has taught for over 40 years, starting in Denver, CO, then transitioning to Taiwan, Zambia, Kenya, Hong Kong, Myanmar, and Ethiopia.

The development of higher education in Asia has been as dramatic as the region's rapid economic rise. The landscape of this diverse and ever-changing sector is thoroughly explored in Asia: The Next Higher Education Superpower?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved more than 230 new drugs to treat rare diseases in the past decade and there are currently more than 450 orphan drugs in development, according to a new report (http://onphr.ma/1EsGJw6) from the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America. Though developing drugs for rare diseases presents many challenges, policy changes and scientific breakthroughs have helped changed the landscape. We spoke to Gretta Stone, Deputy Vice President of Policy and Research at PhRMA, about the report, how the Orphan Drug Act encouraged investment in R&D for rare diseases, and what fuels her optimism for drug development efforts to combat this group of diseases in the years ahead. Also, we check in with Run4Rare's Noah Coughlan as he continues his 3,100 mile run across the country to raise awareness for rare diseases.
