What if family wasn't about blood, and elderly care didn't have to come from strangers? On Chinese social media, posts have surfaced about “认干亲养老”—a practice where young people form supportive, contract-like relationships with older adults. It echoes elements of godparenting and elder companionship in the West, but with key differences. Could this be a way to patch the cracks left by shrinking families and limited state support? Maybe—but it also carries serious risks. On the show: Heyang, Bob Jones & Yushun

There are those listed above...And then there is my guest for this episode today, courtesy to the serendipity proximate to Arne…Peter, whose full name will remain redacted - is the head of the isolation ward at Kumla prison, which is the largest maximum security prison in Sweden. We recorded this about 6 months ago, so I am very late to publish, but I hope you'll agree that the contents are evergreen. Not tied down to any particular time and news, and therefore as useful now as it would have been then as it will be in 5 years time. Pete and I sat down together to record this one in Stockholm last late Autumn, it's as many ins and outs of the prison system that I could think to ask Peter. This is an exhaustive list, but it includes inmate demographics, the impact of overpopulation, the complexities of rehabilitation, the psychological effects of prison on both inmates and staff. the crucial differences between the Swedish prison system other countries, and how it's portrayed in the media, particularly regarding sentencing and the rehabilitation processes. the challenges of institutionalisation, the dynamics of inmate behaviour. Leadership and de-escalation techniques in managing inmate interactions, as well as the influence of gangs and ethnic divides within the prison system. Informal power dynamics among inmates, the prevalence of violence, self-harm, and the challenges faced by prison officers. The changing attitudes of younger inmates towards authority, the psychological impact of incarceration, and the ongoing issues of contraband and drug addiction. The discussion also touches on the responsibility of prison staff to understand and support inmates, the metrics used to evaluate prison conditions, and the societal perceptions of crime and punishment.In between all that there is as well Peter's good humour and the natural tangents much of that may draw you down…00:00 - Who Is Peter & Intro03:02 Demographics and Overpopulation in Kumla Prison05:51 Crime Types and Inmate Behaviour09:00 Rehabilitation and Sentencing in Sweden11:59 Isolation Units and Mental Health14:48 Challenges of Overpopulation and Violence18:05 Administrative Costs and Efficiency20:56 Psychological Impact of Isolation23:53 Interactions with Inmates27:04 Handling Manipulation and Trust30:00 Sympathy for Inmates and Their Stories32:48 Mental Health and Rehabilitation Challenges35:56 Conclusion and Reflections on the Prison System45:09 The Nature of Work in Prison51:49 Rehabilitation vs. Punishment in Nordic Prisons56:08 Institutionalization and Its Effects01:01:22 De-escalation Techniques in High-Stress Environments01:08:15 Leadership in Correctional Facilities01:16:55 Gang Dynamics in Swedish Prisons01:26:13 Understanding Power Dynamics in Prisons01:29:07 The Reality of Violence in Prisons01:31:34 Addressing Self-Harm and Mental Health Issues01:34:19 The Challenge of Knowing Inmates01:36:34 Evaluating Prison Metrics and Crime Hierarchies01:38:52 Religious Practices and Beliefs in Prisons01:41:01 Changing Dyn

Use of the Sec. 321 de minimis exemption was eliminated for imports from China and Hong Kong on Friday, May 2nd. However, de minimis is still (technically) available for imports of under $800 by one person on one day from all other countries.  Although it is unclear how long this will last, given the administration's intent to close that option as soon as “adequate systems” are in place.  For more information, listen to today's Two Minutes in Trade.

International organisations have become major players in global affairs, with the European Union standing out as especially powerful. But the EU's decision-making processes often attract sharp criticism: requiring agreement among many states can cause paralysis, while overriding individual states raises concerns about sovereignty. This episode explores a new study that revisits how the EU has historically grappled with this tension, focusing on two pivotal moments—the Luxembourg Compromise of 1966 and the Paris Summit of 1974. The findings challenge long-held assumptions about the (in)effectiveness of decision making in the EU, and offer fresh insights into how the EU really works.Alan Renwick is joined by Dr Jonathan Golub, Associate Professor in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Reading, and our very own Dr Michal Ovádek, Lecturer in European Institutions, Politics and Policy here in the UCL Department of Political Science. Mentioned in this episode:Golub, J. and Ovádek, M. (2024) Informal procedures, institutional change, and EU decision-making: evaluating the effects of the 1974 Paris summit. UCL's Department of Political Science and School of Public Policy offers a uniquely stimulating environment for the study of all fields of politics, including international relations, political theory, human rights, public policy-making and administration.

When most of us think about discipleship, we quickly think about a program or programming. That's fine. There's nothing wrong with formal discipleship. But what about all the other ways we disciple others that do not fit neatly into formal discipleship plans? This is the topic of this episode of Salty Believer Unscripted. Josiah Walker and Bryan Catherman discuss the value of both formal and informal discipleship. Copyright 2025. For more information, please visit SaltyBeliever.com.

A large proportion of economic activity takes place in the informal sector in every country, particularly in LMICs. Informality, and the lack of rights and protection that goes with it, affects the families who live in slums, the people who take off-the-books jobs, and the firms that choose to skirt regulations. It also affects the governments who want to increase the size of the formal sector – and the revenue they can collect from it. Gabriel Ulyssea of UCL and Mariaflavia Harari of the University of Pennsylvania are two of the editors of new VoxDevLit that examines what we know about the size of the informal sector and how it operates. They talk to Tim Phillips about the grey areas between formal and informal, and the limitations of policies that try to increase the size of the formal economy.

Send me a messageIn this episode, I sit down once again with Kenny McGee, CEO of Component Sense, to delve into one of the most confronting aspects of global supply chains — electronic waste, or e-waste.Kenny recently returned from Agbogbloshie, Ghana, a site once dubbed the world's largest e-waste dump. What he found there was far more complex than expected: a vast, informal economy built around salvaging, repairing, and repurposing our discarded electronics. From TVs and fridges to circuit boards and copper wiring, items we think are being “recycled” are often ending up in the hands of workers — many of them teenagers — who burn, strip, and break devices using bare hands and basic tools.We talk through the journey of a used TV from a UK household to the streets of Accra, explore the supply chains that enable illegal exports of e-waste, and reflect on the human and environmental costs tied to our throwaway tech culture. Kenny also shares the hopeful side — stories of resilience, resourcefulness, and local charity-led education and healthcare initiatives.Key takeaways:Why the second-hand trade isn't inherently bad — but needs regulation.How plastic and clothing waste are compounding the e-waste problem.The role manufacturers must play in designing for repair and reuse.Why abrupt changes to e-waste flows could hurt the very people we aim to hElevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain' podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.

When you're grieving, the last thing you need to be doing is planning a service. Pre-planning allows you to make only two decisions when death occurs: what day and what time the service will be held. Everything else can be arranged in advance, giving you the space to honor your loved one while processing your grief. We are Sue Ryan and Nancy Treaster, and we recently spoke with Greg Cannon, who has more than 45 years of experience in the funeral profession, including as a funeral director. Greg shared his expertise on planning ahead for a loved one's service, offering eight essential tips that can make all the difference during a difficult time.

This choice may be based on location, previous experience with them, or their reputation. Tip 2: Decide on Burial or Cremation This fundamental decision shapes many subsequent choices. If choosing burial, consider: Cemetery location If the person is married, reserving an adjoining space for the spouse Whether traditional burial or green burial options are preferred. For cremation, consider: Whether the cremation will happen before or after the service. What will be done with the cremated remains afterward. In both cases, you'll need to decide what clothing the person will wear. Greg advises bringing a complete set of clothing, including undergarments and outerwear. Shoes are optional and often difficult to put on, but can be included if they're meaningful. Tip 3: Decide on the Type of Service Funeral services have evolved beyond the traditional. Traditional Service (for either burial or cremation) Memorial Service Green Burial Direct Cremation or Direct Burial Tip 4: Choose a Location The location for the service could be: A funeral home A place of worship A location meaningful to the deceased Tip 5: Prepare the Obituary Rather than writing the complete obituary under time pressure, prepare by: Compiling all necessary information ahead of time Creating a comprehensive list of family members to include Selecting a photo or photos to accompany the obituary. Tip 6: Create a Notification Tree Decide ahead of time: Who needs to be notified of the death Who will notify whom Create a “notification tree” so you're not responsible for contacting everyone. Tip 7: Plan the Service Consider these elements and include your care receiver as much as possible: Officiant: Choose the clergy or person who will lead the service Eulogies: Decide who will deliver them and provide guidance Music: Select meaningful songs or hymns Readings: Choose scripture, poetry, or other readings Personal touches: Include memorabilia, photos, or items that represent the person's life. Consider alternatives to traditional floral arrangements: Family quilts Meaningful objects (like golf clubs for an avid golfer) Photos. Tip 8: Plan the Gatherings Consider various types of gatherings: Private family dinner before the service Reception after the service for all attendees Informal gathering at home with close family and friends.

How to craft communication that your audience will remember.Why do some messages stick, while others go in one ear and out the other? When it comes to crafting memorable communication, Ada Aka says not all verbiage is created equal. “Certain words are intrinsically more memorable than others,” says Aka, an assistant professor of marketing at Stanford Graduate School of Business. In her research of consumer behavior and decision-making, she's uncovered how language shapes not just our perception of the world, “but how the world stays with us over time." From concrete terms to emotionally charged ones, certain words have more staying power than others, and to communicators who want to capture audiences (and keep them), she says, “Carefully chosen words, they're going to be taking the attention.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Aka joins Matt Abrahams to explore the science of memorable communication. From creating brand slogans that stick to choosing words that align with your message, she reveals how to create communication that won't be forgotten.Episode Reference Links:Ada AkaEp.80 Magic Words: Change What You Say to Inspire and Influence Others Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:05) - The Power of Words in Memory (03:45) - What Makes Words Memorable?

Pope Adrian V concludes his discourse on the fifth terrace of Mount Purgatory on a strangely lonely, alienated note. Perhaps this is what avarice does to a person.

En 2024, América Latina recuperó sus niveles económicos que fueron perturbados por la pandemia, pero la generación de empleos no crece como la demanda. Esta es una de las principales conclusiones del último reporte de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo, la OIT, que también alertó de las preocupantes tasas de empleo informal y precariedad.  En Lima, la capital peruana, la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) presentó su informe “Panorama Laboral 2024”. Desde allí, Gerson Martínez, quien coordinó este reporte, explica a RFI que en cuestiones laborales el panorama de América Latina y del Caribe se quedó congelado en el tiempo, como si estuviéramos en el año 2014.“Podemos decir que la recuperación del empleo, si bien ha sido positiva, aunque se ha desacelerado en los últimos años, aún es insuficiente para superar los niveles que teníamos hace 10 años”, señala.“Condiciones de precariedad laboral”Ante la falta de empleos formales y que además ofrezcan salarios que correspondan al costo de vida, millones de personas han encontrado una solución en el empleo informal, a tal punto que este tipo de trabajo forma parte de la economía de los países. Sin embargo, estas personas estarían expuestas a varios peligros e injusticias. “Esta característica estructural condiciona a las personas que están en esta situación a no tener acceso a la seguridad social. Normalmente están ocupadas en sectores de baja productividad y por ende baja remuneración, dado que están en condición de informalidad, no tienen un salario mínimo. Entonces, en términos generales, podríamos decir que la condición de informalidad resume en buena medida las condiciones de precariedad laboral que enfrentan las personas trabajadoras en esa condición”, detalla Martínez.Posibles deportaciones masivasEn Perú, la tasa de informalidad es del 72%, en Ecuador del 68%, en Paraguay del 67%, y más lejos con un 52% está México, país al que Estados Unidos amenaza con aumentarla los aranceles y donde quiere enviar a miles de migrantes irregulares. El panorama laboral entonces podría cambiar vertiginosamente, pero la OIT pide prudencia. “Definitivamente, si las medidas son profundas, de largo alcance y afectan a sectores estratégicos de la economía, particularmente aquellos que tienen mayor peso en la generación de empleo, el impacto en los mercados de trabajo seguramente será sensible, y esto podría derivar en varias cosas: un aumento del desempleo, un aumento de la informalidad laboral”, comenta Martínez.“¿Cuál podría ser el efecto que tendrían deportaciones masivas a los países de origen? De nuevo, esto va a depender de si efectivamente son masivas. Son anuncios aún recientes, y todavía estamos a la espera de ver cómo se consolidan y se llevan a cabo”, agrega. El informe también destaca que el 60% de los jóvenes no tienen trabajo, y que la brecha del desempleo entre hombres y mujeres se reduce lentamente, aunque aún hay 22 puntos que los separan.

For this episode, let's revisit a Case Interview & Management Consulting classic where we discuss consulting firm's training.   Too often clients ask the wrong questions when it comes to assessing training at consulting firms: do smaller offices have poorer training, should I attend training as soon as I join, does BCG have better training than Bain etc. When considering training you need to both consider formal and informal training. As we show, formal training is very useful, but not at all for the hard/technical skills it purports to impart on attendees. Informal training, also known as training on an engagement, is most effective when consultants can practice under diverse conditions. In other words, the more you travel and work with foreign teams, the better will be your training. Some firms encourage more global staffing and others far less. That counts.   Here are some free gifts for you:   Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Enjoying this episode?

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, Molly Binetti, Director of Women's Basketball Performance at the University of South Carolina, discusses the transformation of the women's basketball program under Coach Dawn Staley. With two national championships and record-breaking attendance, the program exemplifies success through holistic athlete development, individualized training, and strong relationships. Molly emphasizes the importance of blending skill development with athleticism, focusing on movement quality and creating engaging training environments. By fostering autonomy and incorporating athlete feedback, the program builds trust and enhances player engagement. Individualized training allows athletes to choose exercises that suit their preferences while targeting specific performance outcomes. Prioritizing athlete health has been crucial to the program's success, with a player availability rate exceeding 98% over seven years. Flexibility in training and open communication among staff ensures that recovery and performance are balanced without overtraining. Informal assessments, including sprint testing and jump evaluations, are used to tailor programs and address individual needs. Molly highlights the value of variation in training to prepare athletes for the unpredictability of competition. Machines like the leg press are used to strengthen lower bodies safely while preserving skill development. Distinct positional needs, such as conditioning for guards and strength for post players, are addressed to optimize on-court performance. By combining holistic athlete development, data-driven insights, and a collaborative approach, South Carolina's program continues to set a benchmark for excellence in women's basketball. Main talking points: Holistic development for athlete performance and growth Blending skill development with athleticism Athlete autonomy through feedback and engagement Informal assessments to tailor individual training programs Variation in training for adaptability and resilience Using adaptation as the driver for exercise selection Positional needs for guards and post players Movement quality over just strength and power Setting benchmarks for excellence in women's basketball programs
