"The opposite of belonging is fitting in." Having chanced upon this quote, Tony did the logical thing and brought it to the Simblified gang to share their thoughts. In this reflective episode, Naren, Chuck, Srikeit and Tony chat about belonging, vulnerability, their dinner guest list and more.

PS: No Linking Park songs were harmed in the making of this episode

Add one part news, one part bad jokes, one part Wikipedia research, one part cult references from spending too much time on the internet, one part Wodehouse quotes, and one part quality puns, and you get Simblified.

A weekly podcast to help you appear smarter, to an audience that knows no less! Your four hosts - Chuck, Naren, Srikeit, and Tony attempt to deconstruct topics with humor (conditions apply). Fans of the show have described it as "fun conversations with relatable folks", "irreverent humor", "the funniest thing to come out of Malad West" and "if I give you a good review will you please let me go".

As we celebrate the life of The Reverend Martin Luther King Junior, we need to remember the basis of his philosophy - the scientific basis.  Race does not exist.

This well-known truth has been forgotten by people who benefit by race politics. See how they fool themselves, fool others and produce harm for our society.

Because race?  There's no such thing.

On Cock and Bull today, Cyrus is finally back in the studio with Ayushi Amin, Kajol Srinivasan and Silverie. Why don't all chairs have arms? Why does Ayushi owe money to the watchman? 'Aakash' and his wedding (who is this Aakash they are talking about?), whether Kajol actually dislikes comedy producers, and if people are still having sex in Ukraine. Kajol talks about having met supposed criminals on Shaadi.com and Jeevanshathi.com, which the best dating app is and the frauds that happen on these dating sites. Further, in the episode they also talk about the Russia-Ukraine situation, how Putin responded to the rest of the world putting up sanctions on Russia and India, UAE and China abstaining from doing the same, Putin veiled threat of nuclear action against countries that stand against Russia, how Russia is losing the respect on the world stage, protests in Russia and Putin's current unpopularity, and celebrities and big personalities in Russia speaking out against the government on this matter and the embarrassment they fell. Finally, they also discuss the plight of the Indian students still stranded in Ukraine, the racism and extortion they seem to be facing and women being abducted by Russian soldiers. Tune in for this and much more.

AnnieWoollard from footprintsontheglobe is a TeachSDGs ( United Nations sustainabledevelopmentgoals ) Ambassador. She's a lifelong #educator, and now also a  #globaleducator on the Teach Sustainable Development Goals. Her teaching world changed after discovering the  #SDGs while teaching in a school in Melbourne. From there everything became about #globaleducation. We talk about;

• the origins and importance of the #SDGs which follow on from the @#Millenniumgoals
• the 17 amazing goals that make up the #unitednations #SDGs - covering #education #lifeunderwater #lifeonland
• the #2030 target date and what the objectives are
• a wonderful campaign at the moment called the www.worldstodolist.org who are asking everyone in small steps or large steps to take them on board to work towards making a better planet, a better and more #sustainableenvironment for everyone, a more equitable world
• why it's important whether you are an individual, a #school, a #notforprofit, a #smallbusiness, a large corporation to take these on in some small way, and to work together
• how surprisingly everyone is often already doing something already - they just didn't have it mapped already to a goal
• how it all started for Annie by resigning from her teaching job, which she really loved, to launch @FOTG in 2019 to deliver greater #globalimpact
• becoming a Teach Sustainable Development Goals Ambassador and promote the global goals wherever she went
• the up's and down's of starting your own business - the leap of faith, when the easy option would have been to stay teaching where she was very happy and just roll in, roll out
• extending into educating businesses, #NFPs, #NGOs and government organizations about the #SDGs
• why young students are the future
• what makes up contemporary education  - #designthinking, and 21st-century skills of #problemsolving, and #innovation, and #questioning and #reasoning - that's how they're learning at the moment. So they are willing to step up and have a go and try different things, and it's completely different style of education
• how the world of #sustainability and #climatechange and #climateaction is really becoming at the forefront of people's minds
• why people need to work out what they can do to help make our planet a better place for everyone
• SDGs' Sustainable Development goals in #smallbusiness
• how #businessowners can become a part of this more easily - starting with something they think is interesting and resonates
• the wwwglobalgoals.org  website and the many ideas and resources out there for businesses, for schools, for corporations
• the "start small and build on" approach to avoid being overwhelmed
• the major projects Annie is involved with at wwwtake3.org where she is designing and facilitating aa young leaders programs and #ProjectBlue involving a couple of hundred students (10 to 12-year-olds)  on what makes a leader all through the lens of #plasticpollution and #oceanconservation. The students were all engaged to do waste audit and to complete a 14-day challenge that aimed to change their behavior in some way, and then taking it further, by telling people, 3 people,  what you're doing so then they would tell 3 people - the ripple effect
• how #covid has told us or taught us is that the world is just truly connected - what happens on one side of the world affects the other side of the world, and we're foolish. If we think we're sitting in our own little silo, and it doesn't affect us, and it does. So we do need to work together to see if we can get these goals achieved by 2030

There are currently around 7.7 billion people in the world. The UN is projecting global population will increase to 9.7 billion by 2050 and to nearly 11 billion by 2100. Obviously, this projected growth raises a range of economic, social, and environmental challenges. In this episode, Economics Explained host Gene Tunny discusses global population growth with his good friend Tim Hughes from Urban Ergo.

The UN’s World Population Prospects 2019 projections get mentioned a lot in this episode.

Use these timestamps to jump right to the highlights:

• 0:14 – intro to global population trends – e.g. declining global population growth with growth concentrated in developing economies, a projected decline in population in the most developed economies over the century, and India to overtake China as the most populous country this decade
• 5:18 – declining fertility rates in richer countries
• 10:18 – Reverend Malthus’s dire prediction
• 11:58 – why global population growth is declining and global population may eventually peak and start falling by 2100
• 15:53 – huge projected population growth in sub-Saharan Africa – e.g. in Nigeria
• 20:30 – why is a fertility rate greater than 2 necessary to replace the population? And more on declining fertility rates – e.g. birth control pill, increasing opportunity cost of having children
• 28:35 – sources of Australia’s population growth (NB more recent ABS demographic data than what Gene recalled off the top of his head suggest three-fifths of the growth is due to immigration, and two-fifths is due to natural increase (births minus deaths)

This episode was recorded on Thursday 19 December 2019 at the Adept Economics office in the Johnson Hotel, Spring Hill Brisbane.

This week, in her first appearance since fleeing Brazil, women’s rights advocate Debora Diniz joins fellow activists and philanthropists to discuss what works and what doesn’t in stopping violence against women and girls.  Music featured:“Cause I’m a Woman” by Muted Soul Featuring Jess King courtesy of Muted Records.

Guests:  Debora Diniz,Deputy Director of Rights and Justice;  Terry McGovern,Chair of Population and Family Health, Columbia University Medical Center;  Kavita N. Ramdas,  Director of Women’s Rights Program, Open Society Foundations.

About 1% of the world's population today are refugees, internally displaced or stateless. They live difficult, dangerous lives, have few protections and often no voice. Meanwhile, globalisation has been lop-sided. Money and goods can move relatively easily across the world, but people rarely can. Ameya Naik returns to The Pragati Podcast to talk about refugees, distress migrants and the movement of people across the world.

The Pragati Podcast is a weekly talk-show on public policy, economics and international relations hosted by Pavan Srinath.

Ameya Naik is a Non-Resident Associate Fellow at the Takshashila Institution and a recurring guest on The Pragati Podcast. Listen to earlier episodes with Ameya below: 42 - Sovereignty: https://ivmpodcasts.com/the-pragati-podcast-episode-list/2018/5/3/ep-42-sovereignty-from-the-cholas-to-wakanda

In the information wars, controlling the narrative is key. From Hong Kong to 5G to US politics, the Russian government has made no illusions about its willingness to bend reality to get what it wants. What is that narrative and is it really making an impact?  And why does a professional disinformation tracker think that the overt information – news spread to the world from state-run outlets like Sputnik and RT—can tell us far more than the covert bots and trolls that became so infamous in 2016?

This week on Out of Order, Bret Schafer, a disinformation expert with GMF’s Alliance for Securing Democracy discusses his new project tracking Russian global narratives and where the Kremlin is succeeding, how the disinformation landscape is changing, and what it matters.
