Nadim Houry, Executive Director of the Arab Reform Initiative, discusses the role of Arab countries in the Middle East in demanding a ceasefire in Gaza and negotiating the release of hostages taken by Hamas. Normalization between Bahrain and the UAE with Israel, in addition to negotiations between Saudi Arabia and Israel, has been disrupted as the Israeli bombardment of Palestinian civilians in Gaza continues. Houry also addresses previous attempts to advance peace, such as the Saudi-led Arab Peace Initiative of 2002, and argues that a regional rather than bilateral approach with Israel is necessary, one which requires a non-negotiable end to settlement expansion in the West Bank and brings Iran and other regional actors into the fray.

Widespread corruption in Lebanon is fostered by the country's ruling class, whose business interests are enmeshed with those of international finance. Nadim Houry, executive director of the Arab Reform Initiative, explains how Lebanon's culture of political impunity is tied to the reconstruction agreements put in place in 1990, at the end of the 15-year civil war. The ongoing political deadlock shields the authorities from scrutiny and allows for vulture capitalists such as the former governor of Lebanon's Central Bank, Riad Salameh, to embezzle the country's resources. At the same time, ordinary people are faced with crushing inflation.

Welcome SAISON 2 du Podcast EdTech France !! Anne-Charlotte Monneret, déléguée générale de Edtech France, prend le relais de Rémy Challe et démarre cette saison 2 du podcast. Un #39 épisode où je reçois Yann Houry, Directeur de la Recherche Académique et de l'Innovation au Lycée International Winston-Churchill à Londres. Enseignant de lettres depuis plus de 20 ans aux quatre coins du monde, passionné de numérique depuis toujours, essayiste, éditeur de manuels numériques en open source, Yann Houry est aussi formateur aux usages du numérique, « un prof qui parle aux prof »… de la EdTech ! Dans ce numéro, nous parlons « hybridation », et « déconstruction » : hybridation des supports et des pédagogies grâce au numérique et déconstruction des clichés, celui d'un enseignement sans écrans. Un épisode pour finir de convaincre les sceptiques, et encourager la prise en main des outils numériques : non, les Edtech ne sont pas réservées aux enseignants les plus jeunes, tout le monde peut se lancer, il suffit de mettre la pédagogie au cœur de la démarche. Comment le numérique peut-il être un formidable outil d'émancipation pour les enseignants ? Comment permet-il de créer des compétences indispensables chez les élèves pour le monde de demain ? Yann Houry nous éclaire sur ses usages dans le quotidien de sa salle de classe, et nous démontre comment le numérique transforme l'école sans rien renier de ses exigences disciplinaires, ni abdiquer sa mission de transmission. Nous évoquons enfin les différences structurelles et culturelles qui existent vis-à-vis des EdTech de chaque côté de la Manche, et les évolutions post-covid. Très bonne écoute à toutes et à tous !

"When I'm wearing matte, it's like 'I dare you to come closer!" So warns feminist activist Houry Geudelekian in this episode on the joys, power and history of lipstick...at any age. Join us to hear Houry, feminist economist Radhika Balakrishnan and writer Sandra García Betancourt talk about their and our own checkered histories wearing lipstick --or not. People have colored their lips for at least 5,000 years. It began as an emblem of aristocratic status for women and men equally. Over time it became the province of sex workers and then marching suffragists as an act of defiance and solidarity. And today? Our guests make the connections between feminism and lipstick, suggest the best shades as we age, and share many other musings and magic about painted lips. And we finish with some wisdom from the inimitable AOC about how "beauty is an inside job."

Houry Gebeshian not only became Armenia's first female Olympic artistic gymnast, she also got a move named after her at the Rio 2016 Olympics!

Hospitals and schools, then shattered and bent water pipes, then the crater that once was Lebanon's port.The rebuilding needs of Lebanon are immense, but so is the question of how to ensure the millions of dollars promised in international aid is not diverted in a country notorious for missing money, invisible infrastructure projects and its refusal to open the books.And the port — the epicenter of the explosion that shattered Beirut, the center of Lebanon's import-based economy, and a source of graft so lucrative that  Lebanon's political factions were willing to divide its control so everyone could get a piece — sits at the heart of the fears.Sunday's international donor teleconference raised a total of 252.7 million euro ($298 million) in emergency aid, organizers said.The conference was hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, who was mobbed last week by  tearful victims of the Beirut ammonium nitrate explosion begging him to ensure the corruption they blame for the blast that devastated the capital does not profit from its destruction. The French presidency said France contributed 30 million euros ($35 million).The head of the International Monetary Fund, which wants an audit of the national bank before handing over any money, was clear: No money without changes to ensure ordinary Lebanese aren't crushed by debt whose benefits they never see."Current and future generations of Lebanese must not be saddled with more debts than they can ever repay," IMF head Kristalina Georgieva said during the conference. "Commitment to these reforms will unlock billions of dollars for the benefit of the Lebanese people."International leaders, government officials and international organization participated Sunday in the teleconference co-organized by France and the United Nations to bring emergency aid to Lebanon, including President Donald Trump.International diplomacy usually calls for careful language. Rigged votes are "irregular." The response to furious protests should be "measured." Disappearing funds require "transparency."But Macron's response to the crowd in Beirut and in a later speech there was unusually blunt: The aid "will not fall into corrupt hands" and Lebanon's discredited government must change.In the short-term, the aid streaming into Lebanon is purely for humanitarian emergencies and relatively easy to monitor. The U.S., France, Britain, Canada and Australia, among others, have been clear that it is going directly to trusted local aid groups like the Lebanese Red Cross or U.N. agencies."Our aid is absolutely not going to the government. Our aid is going to the people of Lebanon," said John Barsa of USAID.But actual rebuilding requires massive imports of supplies and equipment. The contracts and subcontracts have given Lebanon's ruling elite its wealth and power, while leaving the country with crumbling roads, regular electricity cuts, trash that piles on the streets and intermittent water supplies."The level of infrastructure in Lebanon is directly linked today to the level of corruption," said Neemat Frem, a prominent Lebanese businessman and independent member of parliament. "We badly need more dollars but I understand that the Lebanese state and its agencies are not competent."Lebanon has an accumulated debt of about $100 billion, for a population of just under 7 million people — 5 million Lebanese and 2 million Syrians and Palestinians, most of them refugees. Its electricity company, controlled like the port by multiple factions, posts losses of $1.5 billion a year, although Frem said most factories pay for their own generators because power is off more than it's on."There's grand theft Lebanon and there's petty theft Lebanon. Petty theft Lebanon exists but that's not what got the country in the hole we're in," said Nadim Houry, executive director of the Arab Reform Initiative.Prior aid, Houry said, ended up as a tool in the hands of the political leaders, who kept their slice and doled ou...

Ira Pastor, ideaXme life sciences ambassador and founder of Bioquark, interviews Dr. Debra Houry, MD, MPH, the Director of the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) at the U.S. CDC. Ira Pastor comments: On the U.S. Center’s for Disease Control (CDC) "Ten Leading Causes of Death" list, right beneath the two major categories of heart disease and cancer, there is a category called "Unintentional Injuries" which cumulatively took the lives of over 167,000 Americans in 2018. This category consists of a variety of subcategories such as poisoning, traffic accidents, falls, suffocation, drownings, and fire, just to name a few. When one goes to visit a parallel list, the "Ten Leading Causes of Non-Fatal Emergency Department Visits" (a non-fatal injury defined as bodily harm resulting from severe exposure to an external force or substance, including mechanical, thermal, electrical, chemical, or radiant, or a submersion), the numbers go through the proverbial roof, with over 25 million cases reported in the U.S. alone in 2018, with combined direct and indirect costs approaching ¾ Trillion dollars per year. Globally these numbers are equally staggering. Preventing Injury, Violence and Fatalities: Dr. Debra Houry, MD, MPH, is the Director of the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) at the U.S. CDC. In this role, Dr. Houry leads innovative research and science-based programs to prevent injuries and violence and to reduce their consequences. Prior to joining CDC, Dr. Houry previously served as Vice-Chair and Associate Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Emory University School of Medicine and as Associate Professor in the Departments of Behavioral Science and Health Education and in Environmental Health at the Rollins School of Public Health. Dr. Houry also served as an Attending Physician at Emory University Hospital and Grady Memorial Hospital and as the Director of Emory Center for Injury Control. Her prior research has focused on injury and violence prevention in addition to the interface between emergency medicine and public health, and the utility of preventative health interventions and screening for high-risk health behaviors. Dr. Houry has received several national awards for her work in the field of injury and violence prevention. She was recently elected as a member of the National Academy of Medicine (NAM), received the first Linda Saltzman Memorial Intimate Partner Violence Researcher Award from the Institute on Violence, Abuse, and Trauma, and the Academy of Women in Academic Emergency Medicine’s Researcher Award. She is past president of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine, the Society for Advancement of Violence and Injury Research, and Emory University Senate. Dr. Houry has served on numerous other boards and committees within the field of injury and violence prevention. Dr. Houry has authored more than 90 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters on injury prevention and violence. Dr. Houry received her MD and MPH degrees from Tulane University and completed her residency training in emergency medicine at Denver Health Medical Center. On this episode we will hear from Dr. Houry about: Her background and how she developed an interest in science, medicine and emergency medicine, and her journey towards her leadership role at U.S. CDC. A general discussion surrounding the "pandemic scale" of injury, both intentional and unintentional, both fatal and non-fatal, and the structures set up at CDC to address these amazing prevalence figures. The CDC's role in combating the opioid epidemic. The CDC's role in combating Unintentional Falls (representing 8+ million of the above-mentioned Nonfatal Emergency Department Visits) and some discussion related to the technological themes of "aging in place" and "smart home care" for the elderly that can help reduce these cases. She will also discuss the CDC's role in combating Sexual Violence and Child Abuse and combating U.S. Gun Violence. This interview is in American English.

In having conversations with other innkeepers, we have learned that property owners can come from a variety of professional backgrounds, and some bring a wide range of business experiences that can be leveraged successfully in the B&B arena. Former marketing communications and financial services executives, Isabelle and Karim Houry are great examples of this. When these professionals decided to leave the corporate world but weren’t sure what type of business to pursue, they took a business-like approach to help them decide to become innkeepers. Their business background also helped them use an analytical and strategic approach in determining which property to buy and operate. This led them to Woodstock, Vermont and the purchase of the Woodstocker B&B in March 2018. After a brief apprenticeship at another B&B and then opening last summer, the couple dove right into the local community and fully embraced their new professional lifestyles. For example, they have designed specialized, season-specific guest experience packages for hiking and other outdoor activities, and are involved with the Woodstock town council regarding policies for short-term rentals. They have also developed a strategy for effectively using Airbnb and OTAs to improve their booking volume and revenue stream.

We're joined by Nadim Houry for Episode 8 of The Beirut Banyan, and we discuss all aspects of human rights following the end of the civil war. Nadim was the director of Human Rights Watch / Lebanon for over a decade before moving to Paris to run Arab Reform Initiative. He reflects on accomplishments made, the challenges surrounding his work and the setbacks felt following the 2005 protests that culminated in the Syrian army's withdrawal from Lebanon. Follow us on Instagram: thebeirutbanyan Twitter: beirut_banyan Facebook: The Beirut Banyan Website: www.beirutbanyan.com Music by Marc Codsi. Graphics by Sara Tarhini.

Houry was a scholarship athlete at the University of Iowa between 2008-2011 and won a Big Ten Beam Title. She has a great story on how she began to compete for Armenia at the world championships and ultimately becoming the first armenian gymnast to compete at the Olympic games. She has now moved onto coaching both club and future armenian gymnasts along with helping aspiring collegiate gymnasts with the recruiting process. She has done it all and is on our show today to give us her story of drive and determination to achieve her dreams. We welcome back Houry Gebeshian to the show.

"I lived the first 15 years of our life without any reflection. No questioning about who am I? What do I want? That is my fight in life right now. Not just for myself but for every single girl out there. You cannot take a girl’s voice away.  You cannot take a girl’s education away. And I will fight for that." Meet “the original” Houry! At 56, she brings unstoppable positive energy to  advocacy for the rights of women and girls worldwide. Her journey of joy and discovery began in the 1970s when she left her Armenian community in Lebanon with her new husband, arrived in New York City and quickly transitioned to a life of disco at Studio 54 and building a posh hair salon business that catered to glitterati from Madonna to Jennifer Grey. More than thirty years later – with three sons and a successful business – Houry realized that in the rush to do it all she hadn’t taken the time to reflect or, as she said, “feel the sand between her toes.” And she’d been too busy to get the education she’d longed for all her life.  A therapist, a divorce, a job search, and night school led Houry to fulfill lifelong dreams: becoming a woman who has a voice, a college degree, and who has no problem feeling things, being present, and saying whatever she wants. Or, as we call it, a Being in Total Charge of Herself!

Advice for gymnasts who want to grow a program in their ancestral country. Why she is self-funded when the men's program is funded. Women's rights in Armenia.

Training to take part in the Olympics is an unforgiving business - years of hard work easily undone by injury, loss of form or even confidence. But for American middle distance runner Sarah Brown, her road to Rio took something of a more pronounced bump. A surprise pregnancy! In March, just five months before Rio 2016, Sarah gave birth, having continued to train throughout her pregnancy. Her goal is to make it to the Olympics by qualifying at the US trials in July. Hooray for Houry: Meet Houry Gebeshian. By day she delivers babies, by night she trains herself for the Rio Olympics! Houry, who in August will be Armenia’s first female Olympic Gymnast, takes us through what by anyone’s standards is a busy day! The Kallur Comeback: On the face of it there was nothing too remarkable about Sweden’s Susanna Kallur 5th place finish in 100m hurdles at the Diamond League in Stockholm this week… Even so she completed a lap of honour after the race, accompanied by her three-year-old daughter. However considering this was her first competitive outdoor race in SIX years, it was probably deserved! She explains the reason behind such a lengthy abstinence from the track Boys are Baku Town: As the Azerbaijan capital Baku hosts its inaugural F1 Grand Prix on Sunday, Bernie Ecclestone has been asking “Do any of you know what human rights are?” His philosophical lament was in response to questions raised about whether Azerbaijan is an appropriate venue for the sport. Significant concerns have been raised by groups such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty international about the treatment of those critical of President Aliyev's regime. We investigate. The Iceland Cometh: Can success on the field help shape national identity off it? We visit Iceland to speak to those wrapped up in Euro 2016 fever (including one of the country’s presidential candidates taking time off the campaign trail to catch some matches) and those who say the football is distracting from the real issues affecting the people of Iceland who elect a new President next Saturday. Sporting Witness Greek weightlifter, Pyrros Dimas, is a three-time Olympic champion and national hero known variously as the "Lion of Himara" and "Midas" because of his ability to win gold medals. In 2004, an ageing Pyrros faced his toughest challenge when the Olympic Games came to Athens and he was forced to compete with a knee injury. Despite the pain, Pyrros battled to a bronze medal, sparking delirious scenes in the weightlifting arena. (Photo: Sarah in training whilst pregnant. Credit: Sarah Brown)
