Podcasts about international administration

Vandaag nemen wij jou mee naar de wereld van Internationale Organisaties (IO's). Dit doen wij met Latijns-Amerika expert Jelle van der Wal in het kader van het tweedejaars vak International Administration van de opleiding Bestuurskunde aan de Universiteit Leiden.Daar waar het realisme en liberalisme stellen dat IO's machtsinstrumenten van machtige landen zijn of arena's ter bevordering van samenwerking, veronderstellen 'wij' als bestuurskundigen dat IO's zelf ook grote invloed hebben op lidstaten en landen.Waar wij vorig jaar, aflevering #9, dieper ingingen op de theorie en de literatuur, staan wij in deze aflevering uitgebreid stil bij de praktische invloed en macht van internationale organisaties. Ook de duidelijke en belangrijke machtsbeperkingen van IO's komen aan bod.

“There is, in our culture, a way in which the things that most need to be said are often the least likely to find expression. The death of an adult is difficult enough, but the loss of a child—a “what could have been”—is taboo.” ― Barbara Becker, Heartwood: The Art of Living with the End in MindWelcome to a new episode of AMORTE podcast where we share loss, grief and death education with a loving view. I am your host Patty Bueno and today I am so grateful and lucky to have Barbara with us.Barbara Becker is a writer and interfaith minister who has dedicated over twenty-five years to partnering with human rights advocates around the world in pursuit of peace and interreligious understanding. She has worked with the United Nations, Human Rights First, the Ms. Foundation for Women, and the Grameen Bank of Bangladesh, and has participated in a delegation of Zen Peacemakers and Lakota elders in the sacred Black Hills of South Dakota. She has sat with hundreds of people at the end of their lives and views each as a teacher. She is the founder of EqualShot, a strategic communications consultancy specializing in strengthening the voice of the non-profit community.

An ordained interfaith minister, she lives in New York City with her husband and two sons.When her earliest childhood friend is diagnosed with a terminal illness, Becker sets off on a quest to immerse herself in what it means to be mortal. Can we live our lives more fully knowing some day we will die?Becker inspires readers to live with the end in mind and proves that turning toward loss rather than away from it is the only true way to live life to its fullest. Just as with the heartwood of a tree—the central core that is no longer alive but is supported by newer growth rings—the dead become the heart of the living.“Existe, en nuestra cultura, una forma en la que las cosas que más necesitan decirse son a menudo las que tienen menos probabilidades de expresarse. La muerte de un adulto es bastante difícil, pero la pérdida de un niño, un "lo que podría haber sido", es un tabú ".- Barbara Becker, Heartwood: El arte de vivir con el fin en menteBienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de AMORTE podcast, donde compartimos la educación sobre la pérdida, el dolor y la muerte con una mirada amorosa.

The Covid-19 has thrown into sharp relief, just how vital the work of ‘key workers’ or ‘essential workers’ is for our lives and survival. Among those workers are domestic workers, who are disproportionately female migrants and women of color. These workers, who have long been underpaid, overworked, and under-resourced, have suddenly become visible and seen as essential. What narratives about domestic workers have circulated during the Covid-19 pandemic? What can we learn from them to maintain and foster the visibility, recognition, and valuation of domestic workers after the pandemic? How can we change the narrative about domestic work to support and value the 68 million workers worldwide? And how can new stories about domestic work be mobilized to garner public and political support? The panel brings Dr. Maïmonatou Mar (Gribouilli, France) and Shani Orgad, Professor of Media and Communications at the LSE, to share their reflections on these questions and discuss the importance of changing the narrative about domestic work. SPEAKERSCarlotta Gradin is the Vice President of Advocacy for UN Women France. She holds a Master in International Administration from the University of Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne and is also a graduate of Sciences Po Strasbourg. Currently, she pursues a thesis on the European and International legal framework for the prevention and the penalty of cyberviolence at the University of Paris II Panthéon-Assas. Carlotta is a legal expert, researcher, and lecturer on legal issues regarding human rights, gender equality, and discrimination. She worked for the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) in Rome and the High Council for Gender Equality in Paris.  Maïmonatou Mar, Ph.D., is the co-founder of Gribouilli, the French social venture empowering domestic workers. Gribouilli launched the first community for nannies in Paris. They are key workers but invisible: mainly middle-aged women with migration backgrounds who suffered from isolation and the digital divide. Nearly a thousand nannies benefit from information, P2P learning, basic learning, and soft skills class for their economic inclusion and decent work access. Gribouilli offers leadership programs through an Ambassador program for nannies. Ambassadors of Gribouilli, therefore, collaborate with public-private partners to improve public policies. They also develop a coop with more inclusive and accessible commercial services to the benefit of the families. Gribouilli is a 3yr multi-award winning organization (Prizes from Paris City, the Foundations JL Lagardère and Deloitte...). Maïmonatou is an A. de Rothschild Fellow, CXC/Ashoka Fellow, and a 2020 Paris Talent. Professor Shani Orgad is a Professor of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Her research and teaching focus on media representations, gender, care, and inequality. She is the author of numerous articles and four books, including her most recent book, Heading Home: Motherhood, Work and the Failed Promise of Equality (2019, Columbia University Press), which examines the stark gap between the promise of gender equality and women’s experience of continued injustice. Orgad has won numerous awards, including the 2019 LSE Teaching Excellence Prize, the Sociological Research Online SAGE Prize for Innovation and Excellence (with Rosalind Gill), the 2018 LSE Excellence in Education award, and the LSE Innovator Award. Orgad is the Director of the social sciences program of the Ariane de Rothschild Fellowship.

On today’s show, we have a conversation with working mom Chloe Bass, whose overarching mission in life is to help others. This is evident in the work she does, both at her 9-5 and in her side hustle business. By day, Chloe works for an NGO ensuring food safety and empowering women around the globe. After earning her undergraduate degree (she double majored in Biblical Studies and Communications), she worked in foster care in New York City, where she discovered that she enjoyed working with women from other countries. She then went on to earn her advanced degree in International Administration and after graduating, ended up in her current role. Chloe has been working full-time for this NGO for the past 6 years. Although this position is a typical 40 hour per week job, she has some flexibility. She works a 9/80 schedule, where she works 80 hours in 9 days, with a day off every other week. After her son was born, Chloe was genuinely surprised by the lack of support and resources to help new moms with juggling their newfound responsibilities as a mom along with their 9-5 day job.  She created her coaching side business, "Making Working Motherhood Work", to fill the void. In this episode, I talk to Chloe about how she got the idea to start her coaching business, how she got her first client, her marketing tactics, how she got her first speaking engagement at a conference and her #1 working mom hack! If you’ve ever struggled with not knowing how you’ll find your first client or your first gig, and you need some inspiration, you need to listen to this episode!

He left high school early and worked in various industries, and over time began to use his art as part of his activism. This activism has included support work for the Black Panthers and Young Lords to participating in or acting in solidarity with farmers, environmental, labor, racial justice and peace movements. Increasingly he has come to see his art and organizing practices as means to address individual, collective and historical trauma. He co-leads workshops on trauma and resilience for organizers as well as trainings on creative organizing, social justice strategy and sustainable activism, and mentors and supports young activists. His art has won numerous awards but the greatest affirmation is the uses to which is has been put by grassroots movements and communities.” RLM Art Studio, 3260 Minnehaha Ave., Minneapolis, MN, 55406.

His upbringing and academic experiences sparked his intellectual curiosity in social difference, political resistance and human inequality. Recruited to play basketball, Andrew matriculated to Earlham College where his experiences and exposure to Quaker values sparked his sociological imagination and passion for social justice. Andrew eventually left the basketball team while serving as captain in protest over Earlham’s investments in corporations doing business in South Africa and joined leaders of the campus divestment movement. For Andrew, this was the beginning of a deep and sustained exploration of African and African Diaspora cultures and politics, engaged scholarship, and political activism. Throughout his career, Williams has worked to balance and link research, teaching, and political engagement on issues of interculturality, educational equity, international development, human rights, learning abroad, placed-based learning and social justice.

Download In this episode, Joe Moore interviews Mike from the podcast "End of the Road". Its a great podcast covering psychedelic and spiritual topics that are probably of interest to you. Mike is an attorney and he joins us to share some insights around patent law in the psychedelic space. Kyle and Joe were even feature on the show a few months back. Disclaimer - This interview is for informational purposes only, not for obtaining legal advice. “Opinions expressed by me, at my own only, and not my firms.” 3 Key Points: Patent law is worth understanding and shouldn't be ignored in our current psychedelic era. It can be used to help protect inventions and innovations that took time and money to develop. Patents aren't all bad. They can help protect the small guy as well and large corporations.

Controversy over the patent created hostility between Ecuador and US. Patent criteria A patent must be a process, machine, or manufacture or composition of matter. A patent does not depend on whether a composition of matter is living or non-living, but rather that it is altered and is not a naturally occurring substance. Taking a plant from South America, and not altering it should not receive a patent. Organizations owning a genome? Transgenic modification – able to be patented Plant patent – specific category Psilocybin Compass pathways – applied for a patent for growing psilocybin – “good manufacturing practice” global standard for manufacturing pharmaceuticals, know your dose each time, etc Compass Pathways applied for a British patent called the “Preparation for Psilocybin” FDA requires that you meet certain standards when you test a product for purity. Trying to patent a pure form of psilocybin. “Non naturally occurring” Using the patent as justification to cover the cost for FDA trials. Group of scientists who created a statement on open practice – 4 point manifesto. (Ram Dass supports it) Trying to make it non-capitalistic – so no one can create a monopoly on it. Full rights can bring the risk of unfair pricing moves Martin Shkreli – marked up a life-saving drug by 3000x Previous groups have decades of open sharing. Compass does not have the same origins Scare – Compass marks up psilocybin. Could be unethical things happening within Compass, but not much journalism done here yet. Once a patent is made, harder to make a similar patent. Broad-based patents make it harder to create further patents down the line since they have to be novel or significantly different and precisely new The process Compass is trying to patent is not the only way to produce GMP psilocybin, there are many other ways. May pull a move that gives them special access to administer Paul Stamets – psilocybin patent application Using psilocybin and niacin for neural regeneration – a neural regenerated composition  based upon constituents isolated from or contained within mushroom fruit bodies or psilocybin or the corresponding synthetic molecules combined with niacin Google patents – US PTO 154914503 filing date April 23, 2017, another in 2018 Claims - Mushrooms have improved memory, cognition, motor skills, complex computer coding challenges, hearing, sensory, vision, learning, promote neurogenesis. Therapeutic applications of psilocybin. A broad patent that covers a large variety of application for using psilocybin therapeutically, not approved yet. Probably would capitalize on the patent. Keen for data sharing and being public with his work. Previous patent: Pesticide replacement – fungi that infects ants and brings them back to their homes. More effective than pesticide. Good he applied for a patent – it would mean that it wouldn’t block people from accessing it or developing their own Andrew Chadeayne – inventor and patent attorney Has psilocybin patent update blog Applied for patents in the psilocybin space Monopoly law If there is a popular drug used in the market, a drug company wanting to capitalize – it will cover all their bases with a patent Daniel Pinchbeck – theories that could work (Marxist society) Cuba – healthcare model – government funds certain health care practices for the public good/applications that the US would not. A model that Marxists could use to get these products on the market vs capitalist model The basic idea of patents: Inventor – creates a patent to protect the invention, not to dominate the market. International Administration of Ketamine to treat Depression – Yale Method for treating depression University of California – scientists using “compounds for increasing neural plasticity”non-hallucinogenic catalog of psychedelic compounds Novel devices for administration Intranasal or inhalant administration method for THC, ketamine, etc. SYQE – developed method of a delivery subject for Patent Protection Full spectrum whole plant extract – different from a vaporizer Pctil 2015 050676 Syqemedical.com Smoking – route of administration dosing precision standard is 30%, their dose delivery is at 70% Tel Aviv Israel – producing the lowest price per gram in the world of cannabis    All cannabis being researched in the country must come from one specific facility – set the US back German patent – synthetic ayahuasca DE201610014603 Open source model Common law copyright and trademark protection Laws changed in 2013 – first to file the patent first, gets the invention Important to get patent protection early in the process Provisional, and non-provisional patent. Provisional gives a year grace period to file non-provisional without all of the details of the full application. Infusion pump technology – method of delivery (ex. DMT) controls the level of a substance in the blood for an undefined, extended period of time. Insulin pumps – monitor and deliver Raspberry pie devices – can buy a computer and program it to do specific functions. Ex. automated brewing system with temp controls. DMTx – same computer could be programmed and applied to control the levels of DMT in the bloodstream Joe Rogan and Elon Musk on a podcast – space travel and psychedelics talk Peter Theil -  Hyper capitalist. Super rich. Book: Zero to One. Make a product 10,000 times better than the competition, so that they will buy it. (Soft monopoly) Tim Ferris – most billionaires he interviewed claim they have had substantial psychedelic experiences. Patent activity Adding cannabinoids to beer, etc. Huge market opportunity for cannabis.
