Koen Davidse is the World Bank Group's Executive Director from the Netherlands since 2018. He represents a group of countries that also includes Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Georgia, Israel, North Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, and Ukraine. Previously, he served as the Deputy Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General in Mali and held senior positions in the Netherlands' Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In the beginning of our conversation, Koen shares his reasons for choosing a career in diplomacy and development, with stints in India, Sudan, Mali, and also at the World Bank and UN. We then talk about why security sector reform (SSR) that builds effective but also affordable militaries, police, and justice institutions is essential to make progress on economic development in fragile states. Next, we delve deeper into his work in Sudan and Mali. We discuss the challenges of being an honest broker in the implementation of the peace agreement leading to South Sudan's independence in 2011 and what it's like to lead a peacekeeping mission aiming to bring stability in Mali. Throughout the episode, Koen shares his insights about why we need peace entrepreneurs to make lasting change, what it takes to achieve better coordination between peace, development, and humanitarian actors, and how to put vulnerable people at the center of global efforts to help fragile states.

Artificial intelligence appears poised to disrupt industries, improve customer outcomes, and enhance lives, and solutions based on AI are projected to contribute as much as $15 trillion to the global economy in 2030—more than the current output of China and India combined. The problem-solving potential of AI is seemingly limitless, and it may well change the way we work, travel, power our cities, diagnose disease, and organize our society.  And yet there are reasons to be cautious. Information is power, and that power can be used for good or for ill. In this episode, Brown Advisory's Katherine Kroll explores the investor case for “ethical AI” and why failing to proactively ensure AI is used to help, not harm, is a material and salient risk not only to investment performance but to our society's ability to thrive. She speaks with three of the foremost experts on ethical AI: Aza Raskin, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology; Arathi Sethumadhavan, Ph.D., Head of User Research for Ethics & Society at Microsoft; and Kay Firth-Butterfield, Head of AI and Machine Learning, World Economic Forum. Guests:Kay Firth-ButterfieldHead of AI and Machine Learning, World Economic ForumAza RaskinCo-founder, The Center for Humane TechnologyArathi Sethumadhavan, Ph.D.Head of User Research for Ethics & Society, MicrosoftHost:Katherine KrollInvestment Specialist, Brown Advisory Investment Commentary:Victoria AvaraESG Equity Research Analyst, Brown Advisory John Canning, CFAEquity Research Analyst, Brown AdvisoryBackground Reading The Promise and Challenges of AI, American Psychological Association, November 3, 2021 Fueling the Fire: How Social Media Intensifies U.S. Political Polarization—and What Can Be Done About It, NYU Stern School, September 2021 He Created Your Phone's Most Addictive Feature.

Why a Hater’s Gonna Hate and What Can Be Done About It.

This week we sat down with 3 teenage ladies to discuss some of the topics we have been covering on our podcast, to get their prospective on the topics, and then we left them alone with the Mic to have their own discussion. August the 3 year old was with us and as much as I tried to edit him out, I could not get it all. We are working on a plan about that.... The important thing I wanted to add is the book I referenced in this podcast. It is: Shortchanged, Why Women Have Less Wealth and What Can Be Done About It, by Mariko Lin Chang. This is a fabulous book with loads of information. We are working on an interview with a radio "jocky" as well as sending out invites to various other interviewees.

As of 2017 healthcare is the leading category of the 78,5 billion in consumer debt collected each year, which is more than 40 times the size of credit card debt. While the number of uninsured is reducing, it is being replaced with the issue of underinsurance. 3 in 10 people reported costs caused them not to take their medicines as prescribed in the past year, writes law professor Christopher T. Robertson in his last book Exposed: Why Our Health Insurance Is Incomplete and What Can Be Done About It. This is especially critical in situations as the current Covidvirus crisis. New York Times and Financial Times warn that the US is at high risk for a fast spread of Covid-19, because many people don’t have the option to work at home + the uninsured, and there are 27 million of them, are reluctant to seek healthcare.In the following discussion with dr. Robertson, you will hear more about what kind of costs patients are exposed to in the US, what the role of technology could be in curbing those costs or at least make prices transparent and clear before a patient get the bills, and how could the healthcare system be improved.

Islamic State Has a New Leader after ISIS Founder al-Baghdadi Killed in US Raid (0:31)Guest: John Macfarlane, Adjunct Professor of History & Political Science, Utah Valley UniversityThe Islamic State terror group has named a new leader to replace the group's founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who died in a US military strike a week ago. President Trump said in that announcement that “capturing or killing Baghdadi has been the top national security priority “of his administration. And ISIS, in announcing Baghdadi's successor has pledged to make America pay for the assassination. How Emojis are Impacting the Law (18:25)Guest: Eric Goldman is a Professor of Law at Santa Clara University School of Law, Co-Director of High Tech Law InstituteThere are two emojis I use a lot in texts: the winking face and the thumbs up icon. I know what I mean when I use them. I have no idea how the people I'm texting are interpreting those emojis. Usually that's not a big deal. But what if our text thread ends up as evidence in court and now a judge or jury has to decide exactly what my thumbs-up emoji meant? Was it a firm commitment to do something? Was it just a passive aggressive way of ending the conversation? I've used to both ways, to be honest. Why is Antisemitism on the Rise and What Can Be Done About It? (30:40)Guest: Bill Bernstein, West Coast Director, American Society for Yad VashemAnti-Semitic attacks worldwide rose last year, particularly in major Western democracies like the US, France, Britain and Germany. Most of those were cases of vandalism or threats of violence. But 2018 also saw the deadliest attack ever against Jews on US soil, when a gunman stormed the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh last October, killing 11 worshippers. And in New York City, right now, police say anti-Semitic hate crimes are up 63% compared to last year. Those include Orthodox Jewish men being violently attacked in the street.  Why is this happening? Clam Gardens Provide Stable Food and Unite Generations for Indigenous Groups in Pacific Northwest (51:10)Guest: Skye Augustine, Clam Garden Project Coordinator at Parks CanadaThousands of years ago, indigenous people living in the Pacific Northwest had an ingenious way of cultivating clams for food diet. As America was colonized and tribes were displaced, those farming techniques were abandoned. But clam populations along the West Coast are suffering today, so there's an effort underway to help indigenous groups reclaim the “clam gardens” their ancestors built along the shoreline. Skye Augustine is heading up one such project for the national parks system in Canada. What Do Food Date Labels Mean? (1:08:30)Guest: Emily M. Broad Leib, J.D., Assistant Clinical Professor of Law and Director of the Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy ClinicWhen you go to the grocery store, everything has a date. The milk may say “best used by next week,” while a box of crackers might say you have a year. But what do those dates really mean? Confusion over date labels can lead to perfectly good food being thrown out. It is estimated that in American, between 30-40% of available food is wasted. BYUradio Hosts Tackle Trivia from National Geographic (1:19:31)Guest: Cara Santa Maria, Science Journalist, Host of Talk Nerdy podcast and Quizmaster for National Geographic's Almanac 2020; BYUradio Hosts Sam Payne, Steven Kapp Perry, Lisa Valentine Clark, Cole Wissinger, Marcus SmithI'm a sucker for a surprising factoid. Though, I am terrible at trivia –definitely not a Jeopardy contender here –but National Geographic's Almanac 2020 recently landed on my desk and I loved their take on this. It's packed full of cool facts about the natural world –each section starts with trivia questions curated by science journalist and podcast host Cara Santa Maria.

Doors to Coffin Nation are now OPEN. Hurry, enrollment ends on Monday, November 26. LEARN MORE >> COFFIN NATION. ************************************************** This is Phil’s second appearance on the show, after talking about his book Lost Shepherd: How Pope Francis is Misleading His Flock. This time, the veteran journalist doubles down and broads his analysis to include the widespread corruption and complicity of the bishops with a brand new book, The Smoke of Satan: How Corrupt and Cowardly Bishops Betrayed Christ, His Church, and the Faithful . . . and What Can Be Done About It. A daring book (the publisher explains that they didn’t particularly want to publish it) and badly needed. Heavy sigh. As ever, it’s the uncomfortable truths that need to be told.   In this episode you will learn: Why the badly damaged brand and reputation of the Catholic Church is at stake and why books like this continue to be written today Why it’s not a sin to charitably but directly call out bad leadership in the Church How the bishops seem, in so many cases, not to have learned the lessons of the 2002 scandal that broke in Boston The role played by gross misinterpretations of the Second Vatican Council led to the current crisis Why concern for the Church’s reputation can never outdo concern for victims of priest predators The facts as to why the issue we’re dealing with is not “pedophile priests” but homosexual predator priests   Resources recommended in this episode: The Smoke of Satan: How Corrupt and Cowardly Bishops Betrayed Christ, His Church, and the Faithful . . . and What Can Be Done About It by Phil Lawler Lost Shepherd: How Pope Francis is Misleading His Flock by Phil Lawler Index of Leading Catholic Indicators: The Church Since Vatican II by Kenneth Jones Pascendi Dominici Gregis Encyclical by Pope St. Pius X on Modernism

In Brain Science 136 we discuss "Language at the Speed of Sight: How We Read, Why So Many Can’t, and What Can Be Done About It" by Mark Seidenberg. We consider the disturbing gap between our scientific knowledge of reading and current education practices in the US. This episode will provide the listener with some important basics about how reading changes our brains and what is known about how children learn to read. Learning to read is not as automatic as learning to talk and when problems arise, early intervention is essential. We also consider some of the fascinating differences between written languages and how they reflect underlying differences between spoken languages. Plus---- Why speed reading is as myth!
