Dr Christina Straub's interest is centred around qualitative social research in general and prison research in particular. She graduated as a Cultural Scientist (MA) at the European-University-Viadrina, Germany, in 2009 with an ethnographic study about the construction of individual identity in the subculture of Hot Rodding (car culture). Her first post-grad employment as a Research Assistant for the Prisons Research Centre at the Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge led her into a high-security prison exploring staff-prisoner-relationships together with Prof Alison Liebling and Helen Arnold. The many stories and layers of the prison environment ever since continued to play a major role in her work. It included, for example, qualitative research for London-based charity The Forgiveness Project or looking into the specific pains and needs of families of people serving an Indeterminate Sentence for Public Protection (IPP) together with Dr Harry Annison (Southampton Law School) and in collaboration with the Prison Reform Trust. Currently she works with Dr Kate O´Brien at Durham University on a project evaluating the Early Days in Custody programme delivered by NEPACS. She is passionate about and inspired by multidisciplinary research (using neurosciences, psychology, sociology, and moral philosophy for example) that aims to deliver holistic insights into the micro- and macro-levels of human existence, human resilience, and sustainable ways for humanity to move forward (individually, socially, and institutionally). Christina's latest book is Love as human virtue and human need and its role in the lives of long-term prisoners https://www.amazon.co.uk/human-virtue-lives-long-term-prisoners/dp/1622739663/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1SPAAB22PM4C3&dchild=1&keywords=christina+straub&qid=1635156221&sprefix=christina+straub%2Caps%2C94&sr=8-1 And she recommends All about Love by bell hooks https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-About-Love-Visions-Paperback/dp/0060959479/ref=sr_1_1?crid=18F5SRYGWCS8R&dchild=1&keywords=all+about+love&qid=1635156284&sprefix=all+about+love%2Caps%2C93&sr=8-1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Work-Jairus-McLeary-Gethin-Aldous/dp/B075GV1KG4
The World Health Organization on Thursday said the world’s poorest countries can expect to start receiving their first Covid-19 vaccine doses between the end of January and mid-February.Vaccination is already under way in some of the world’s wealthiest nations, including the United States, Britain, European Union countries and Canada.The WHO’s head of vaccines, Kate O’Brien said Covax, the globally-pooled vaccine procurement and distribution effort, has struck agreements to secure two billion doses — and the first of those will start rolling out within weeks.
We got to talk to a supermodel! Bonnie Trumpeter is an American icon in the world of modeling, but her proudest role is being the mother of actress Christa Miller, who you know as Kate O’Brien on The Drew Carey Show, Jordan Sullivan on Scrubs and Ellie Torres on Cougar Town. Bonnie graced the cover of Life Magazine at age 14 and was followed for two months as the magazine observed the “life of an American teenager.” This was the beginning of Bonnie’s successful modeling career; she appeared on the cover of Redbook, Seventeen and Bride’s Magazine. Christa followed Bonnie’s lead and did some modeling when she was only 6 months old for Wonder Bread and even joined her Mom on the cover of Redbook!
The World Health Organization on Monday said that persuading people on the merits of a Covid-19 vaccine would be far better than trying to make the jabs mandatory.The WHO said it would be down to individual countries as to how they want to conduct their vaccination campaigns against the coronavirus pandemic.Kate O’Brien, director of the WHO’s immunisation department, told a virtual news conference that It is a much better position to actually encourage and facilitate the vaccination without those kinds of requirements.
Measles deaths and infections are spiking again globally, and Governments everywhere should do more to convince parents that it is safe to vaccinate their children. That’s the message from the World Health Organization’s Dr Kate O’Brien, Director of Immunization and Vaccines. In an interview with UN News’s Daniel Johnson, she describes the impact of a major outbreak of measles on the Pacific island nation of Samoa, where thousands of children have contracted the disease.
Andrea Mara is an author and blogger who lives in Dublin with her husband and three young children. She attempts – often badly - to balance work, family, and writing, then lets off steam on her blog, OfficeMum.ie. For 17 years, Andrea worked in Financial Services and it was when she returned to work after her third maternity leave that she started blogging – focusing on the challenges she faced while trying to balance work and home. Two years later, redundancy gave her the opportunity to turn her hobby into a career. In 2016, she signed a book deal with Poolbeg, and her first novel, a psychological thriller called The Other Side of the Wall, was shortlisted for the Kate O’Brien award in 2018. Her second novel, One Click, was shortlisted for Irish Crime Novel of the year in the 2018 An Post Irish Book Awards. She has also won a number of awards for blogging, but is unlikely to win any medals for her ongoing attempts to balance work and home.

Whine & Cheese – Episode 24: Tyler’s roommate, Kate O’Brien, joins us this week with her pairing of Say Anything’s …Is A Real Boy & Disney’s made-for-TV musical fantasy Geppetto. We discuss whether third wave emo bands are actually good or just nostalgic while Mike tries to get us to play a game reciting the lyrics for Admit It!!! Spoiler: one of us knows way more than they should. Joey speculates about Geppetto’s sex life and why Drew Carey won’t stop talking about wanting a child of his own. Musically, there are a lot of similarities here, but only one of them has an unusually upbeat tune about a certain historical tragedy. Whine & Cheese: A Podcast About Whiny Records and Cheesy Movies began in Spring 2018. It is a love letter to all things whiny and cheesy from Rites of Spring to Hawthorne Heights, Varsity Blues to Fifty First Dates, and everything in between. Listen as the trio of Joey Breeding, Mike Paulshock, and Tyler Smith mix and match two of life’s great audio & visual pleasures. Twitter and Instagram.

Kate O’Brien and her husband Henare both grew up in toxic environments, leaving Kate saying, “I’ll never let a man treat me like that,” and Henare saying, “I’ll never let a woman treat me like that. Naturally fate brought them together and Kate has allowed their initially rocky 14 year relationship to help her become more self aware, more self compassionate and more accepting of her own humanity. A visionary & global voice for bold leadership, transformation, playing it big & living from truth. Together with her husband Henare—they hold the space of Australasia's #1 Transformational Leadership Couple & produce the World’s Biggest Personal Development Summit, collaborating annually with over 100 of the greatest thought leaders of our generation - Jack Canfield, Gregg Braden, T. Harv Eker, Brendon Burchard, Marci Shimoff, Dr John Demartini, Dr Joe Dispenza, Michael Bernard Beckwith and many many more. Nuggets of Wisdom from Kate: "The risk is a game so I may as well just play it." "We have a huge capacity for change, a huge capacity for love and a huge capacity to evolve."' "It took my courage to skip stepping through that door on a moment to moment basis" "The biggest thing that I've learned is that it's okay to feel like a total human being while you're also being extraordinary." "When we go through changes, in that process we also have to allow space for the wobbles of those changes." "We can just ride out all of the feelings that come with being human while we keep growing and expanding and remember to enjoy life." "When we come back together we've got new growth, new eyes and energy to infuse that with our relationship." "A lot of times in the world, we're trying to get rid of the things that aren't feeling good." "[I like to remind] all people that it's okay to be human, it's okay to have all of these experiences, and it has absolutely zero reflection on how amazing you are or what you are up to in the world." "Have compassion for ourselves, and we can usually shift out of that away more faster." "We are the solution. It is not the strategy." Some of Kate's Favorite Things: Personal habit: "Connecting into myself. And a cup of tea." Easy meal: Smoothies, protein powder. Favorite kitchen gadget: Blender. Kate's Favorite Books: Spiritual Partnership: The Journey to Authentic Power by Gary Zukav Best advice received: "Be yourself!" Kate's Happiness Formula: "Passion +truth + commitment." A Challenge from Kate: "After this [interview], please stop, close your computer or your phone. Go and walk into a bathroom and look into the mirror. And when you are looking into the mirror, just notice what's in your head. Do you feel really comfortable and friendly with that beautiful person in there? Or do you feel a bit awkward? Or do you feel resistant, judgmental. Do you feel guilty? Whatever comes up, if it doesn't feel loving, that is the place you go to, to bring the love.

She commits each day to stepping up further & further into her highest potential and use the gifts she was given to make a difference on the planet. Guiding Principle, Quote or Mantra Everything that is showing up for Kate in the moment, is there for her growth. And she is actively choosing this moment to moment. Choosing the learning and the growth that is present. The “DUH” moment that changed your partnerships forever After dating her husband for roughly a year they very consciously had to choose if they were going to continue in their relationship knowing full well that they triggered each other very deeply at times, and raise up their relationship and heal the very deepest parts of themselves. Or do they separate and go and find an easier relationship. Knowing they are also taking with them their parts that have been unhealed. Proudest moment in partnership This is a selfishly proud moment. One day she looked at her husband, Henare, and what she saw was her best friend. And knew she wanted to support his dreams. Support for each other’s dreams has become the platform for their relationship together. Current Partnership that Has You Excited For the first time, she and her husband are owning their unique voices in the work they do in the world. And this triggers fears around holding space for who they are in this new expression. So as exciting as this new level of partnership is, it still has its challenges that Kate and Henare have conversations around on a daily basis. This is all part of being in a relationship that is committed to expansion.
