Marie Cyril Eddy Boissézon, plus connu comme Eddy Boissézon, né le 28 mars 1952, s'est éteint ce 1er novembre 2025, jour de la Toussaint. Homme d'État respecté et figure politique marquante, il a été vice-président de la République de Maurice de 2019 à 2024. Ancien membre du Mouvement Militant Mauricien (MMM), il avait rejoint en 2014 le Muvman Liberater (ML) dirigé par Ivan Collendavelloo. Lorsque Pravind Jugnauth succède à son père Sir Anerood Jugnauth comme Premier ministre, Eddy Boissézon est nommé ministre de la Fonction publique et des Réformes administratives, poste qu'il occupe jusqu'au 12 novembre 2019. Par la suite, le 2 décembre 2019, il est élu vice-président de la République par l'Assemblée nationale et investi le même jour. À l'annonce de son décès, ses anciens camarades de parti ont tenu à lui rendre hommage. « Un homme humble qui s'en est allé », confie Ismaël Rawoo, ancien leader adjoint du ML. Toolsiraj Benydin affirme qu'Eddy Boissézon l'a énormément aidé dans sa carrière politique. « J'ai perdu un grand frère », confie-t-il. Ivan Collendavelloo, leader du Muvman Liberater, profondément ému, se souvient encore d'Eddt Boissézon comme un ami d'enfance. « Il était un homme sincère », dit-il.

Send us a textYeah, this one's not sunshine and push-ups. Peaches kicks open the team room door and unloads on the chaos hitting the Air Force — murder-suicides, cover-ups, and a shutdown that's choking the system from the inside out. But before he dives into the darkness, he drops truth bombs from the latest Operator Training Summit: how the next gen of Special Warfare candidates are showing up hungrier, sharper, and more locked-in than ever.Then it's straight into the fire — a double murder-suicide at Wright-Patt that exposes the ugly human cost behind the “we're fine” press releases, and another tragic death tied to the M18 fiasco that's making the Air Force and SIG Sauer sweat bullets. Peaches doesn't do conspiracy fluff, but he's not ignoring the smoke either. From leadership blind spots to the DOD's “everything's under control” theater, this episode cuts through the propaganda with a scalpel.By the time he's done, you'll be questioning whether “service before self” still means anything when people are dying under the weight of bureaucracy. And yeah, he somehow still lands the plane with a sliver of hope — free school meals, community support, and a reminder that helping each other is still the only mission that matters.So strap in, buttercups.

In this special episode of the podcast, originally hosted by Indico Data's Unstructured Unlocked, Matthew Grant, CEO of InsTech, joins Tom Wilde and Michelle Gouveia to discuss how insurers are harnessing third-party data and AI to make more informed, efficient underwriting decisions. With over 25 years in catastrophe modelling and analytics, Matthew shares his view on where the real innovation is happening and where insurers are still facing friction. From the rising value of external data sources to the operational impact of generative AI, the conversation is packed with insights that go beyond the buzzwords. InsTech is sharing this episode to highlight the practical challenges and opportunities facing carriers and reinsurers as they modernise their approach to risk. What you'll learn Why many insurers still struggle to access the most basic risk data What third-party data needs to prove before it's trusted in underwriting How AI is changing both the speed and depth of catastrophe modelling When it makes sense for carriers to build proprietary models—and when it doesn't What reinsurers have taught the market about effective model use The quiet power of improving underwriting efficiency, not just accuracy How better data and analytics can help insurers write more risk with more confidence If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Matthew Grant on LinkedIn.

This episode features the second panel discussion of the day at Artemis London 2025, a session focused on the catastrophe bond market segment, from our fourth cat bond and insurance-linked securities (ILS) conference in the City of London, UK, held on September 2nd 2025. The panel, titled Catastrophe bonds: Sustaining momentum as relevance grows, was moderated by Tanja Wrosch, Executive Director, Cat Bond Portfolio Manager, Twelve Securis. She was joined by: Joe Tolen, Senior Investment Director, Credit Investment Group, Cambridge Associates; Gina Hardy, CEO, North Carolina Insurance Underwriting Association (NCIUA), North Carolina Joint Underwriting Association (NCJUA); Andre Rzym, Partner and Portfolio Manager, Man AHL; and Andy Palmer, Head ILS Structuring EMEA & APAC, Swiss Re Capital Markets. Our expert speakers discussed the growth of the market as well as potential challenges in sustaining that through different and increasingly competitive reinsurance market conditions. The need for efficient market processes was highlighted, as well as a desire to continue attracting and supporting new cat bond sponsors, including corporates and governments.  The panellists also recognised that cat bonds and other ILS can still be a difficult sell to investors, with education and transparency remaining critical, while communication with sponsors was also highlighted.  The discussion also covered the impact of ESMA's recommendations on UCITS asset eligibility and how this might affect the cat bond market over-time, as well as the potential for product innovations in the catastrophe bond space. Listen to this full podcast episode from our Artemis London 2025 conference to learn more about the state of play in the catastrophe bond marketplace.

Oli Julian - Kleptomaniacal Music - Scoring The Twits for Netflix In this episode of Sync Music Matters, I chat with composer Oli Julian, the man behind the gloriously mischievous scoring of The Twits for Netflix Known for his work on Sex Education and Catastrophe, Oli brings his signature blend of fun, rhythm and emotional punch to Roald Dahl's anarchic world with a soundtrack he describes as “kleptomaniacal” The new film, featuring the voices of Margo Martindale and Johnny Vegas as the grotesquely dysfunctional Mr and Mrs Twit, is anything but conventional  and neither is its score. Oli takes us behind the scenes of a sonic palette that includes Bulgarian choirs and what he calls “flatulent” baltic brass, giving the film an irreverent and delightfully chaotic tone. He tells the story of how, during one of his early meetings, he found himself playing the musical saw over Zoom -  a moment he jokes might have sealed the deal.  But beneath the playfulness, there's a deep sense of craft and authenticity to Oli's work. We talk about how his first dalliance with making music came in the from of a humble four-track recording of Wonderwall by Oasis.  As a drummer, Oli admits he's “rhythmically led,” and it shows — the propulsive energy of his cues often drives the emotional core of a scene. For him, groove and feel aren't just musical ideas, they're emotional anchors. During our chat, a familiar theme emerges - one shared by so many composers: the importance of authenticity and being confident in what you create.  The Twits might be a story about the world's most horrible couple, but under Oli Julian's mischievous baton, it's also a celebration of the beautifully bizarre - proof that even the strangest sounds can make perfect sense when they come from an honest place.

La catastrophe nucléaire de Kyshtym, survenue en 1957 en Union soviétique, est l'un des pires accidents nucléaires de l'histoire — pourtant, elle est restée secrète pendant plus de vingt ans. À l'époque, seuls Tchernobyl et Fukushima feront pire. Mais si le monde en a si peu entendu parler, c'est parce que le drame s'est produit au cœur d'un complexe militaire ultra-secret, dans une région interdite aux étrangers.Tout commence dans la petite ville de Kyshtym, dans l'Oural, à proximité du complexe nucléaire de Maïak, l'un des tout premiers sites soviétiques destinés à produire du plutonium pour la bombe atomique. Dans ce centre, des tonnes de déchets hautement radioactifs sont entreposées dans des réservoirs souterrains en acier, refroidis par un système d'eau. Mais le 29 septembre 1957, le système de refroidissement d'un de ces réservoirs tombe en panne. Pendant plusieurs mois, la température interne monte lentement… jusqu'à provoquer une explosion chimique équivalente à environ 70 tonnes de TNT.L'explosion pulvérise le couvercle en béton de plusieurs tonnes et libère un immense nuage radioactif. Environ 20 millions de curies de matières radioactives sont projetées dans l'atmosphère — une quantité comparable à un tiers de celle de Tchernobyl. Ce nuage contamine une zone de plus de 20 000 km², touchant plusieurs régions de l'Oural et exposant près de 270 000 personnes.Mais à l'époque, impossible pour la population de comprendre ce qui se passe. Le régime soviétique garde le silence absolu. Les habitants des villages voisins voient des soldats arriver, des hélicoptères survoler la région, des convois évacuer des familles sans explication. On leur dit simplement qu'il y a eu une « explosion industrielle ». En réalité, 23 villages seront rasés, les habitants déplacés de force, et des centaines de personnes mourront dans les mois ou années suivantes des suites d'irradiations aiguës.Ce n'est qu'en 1976, grâce au témoignage du biologiste soviétique Jores Medvedev, réfugié à Londres, que l'Occident découvre l'ampleur de la catastrophe. Il baptise alors l'événement « catastrophe de Kyshtym », du nom de la ville la plus proche du site.Aujourd'hui encore, la région reste l'une des zones les plus contaminées de la planète. Le site de Maïak continue de fonctionner, mais les cicatrices écologiques et humaines du désastre rappellent qu'avant même Tchernobyl, l'histoire du nucléaire avait déjà connu une tragédie passée presque sous silence.

What are we still missing in catastrophe modelling and how can we close the gap? As part of InsTech's The Future of Catastrophe Risk: Where Science Meets Reality event, this expert panel explored the limitations of current catastrophe models and how the insurance industry can evolve its approach to risk. Hosted by Ludovico Nicotina (Inigo), with insights from Sandra Hansen (Guy Carpenter) and Paul Wilson (Twelve Securis), the discussion focused on where models fall short, how emerging risks are challenging traditional assumptions and what it will take to build more resilient, climate-aware modelling frameworks. In this conversation, the panel explores: What current models overlook — from unmodelled sub-perils to social and infrastructure vulnerabilities How inter-annual clustering and systemic effects drive outsized losses The tension between increasing model flexibility and responsible use of adaptation features Whether vendors are providing enough transparency to support custom views of risk How the industry can better incorporate future climate states into today's modelling tools The case for cross-sector collaboration and more open sharing of internal risk perspectives If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Matthew Grant on LinkedIn.

Chiefly Caused by Cytokine Cascades…  Chasing My Cure: A Doctor's Race to Turn Hope into Action By: David Fajgenbaum Published: 2019 256 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? Right as Fajgenbaum was finishing up the exams for his third year of medical school, he was struck by his first attack of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease. It nearly killed him (last rites were administered). He went on to have four more attacks, each of which also nearly killed him, but somehow in between attacks he was able to research the disease enough that he eventually found something (rapamycin) which has (so far) kept additional attacks from happening. As an outgrowth of his own research he founded the Castleman Disease Collaborative Network.  What's the author's angle? This is one of those cases where the author has a large “angle”, Fajgenbaum has Castleman disease, and is very much advocating (in the course of the book) for more research and more funding for the treatment of the disease he has. This is not a bad angle, but there is a lot of advocacy in the book. On the other hand the fact that he has the disease is also one of the book's great strengths. It creates a compelling story, and a fascinating approach to the research and cure of the disease.  Who should read this book? I think it's most interesting for those who want to understand how medical research is done. Its failure points, but also its potential for life-altering outcomes. Fajgenbaum's personal story is also very interesting, and people who just like good biographical stories will also enjoy it. Specific thoughts: How much should this story be read as an example of broken science?

Around 6,000 years ago, the Sahara was a lush grassland. Then, as if a switch flipped, it began to dry out, becoming the desert that we know today. Tipping points are moments in Earth's history where gradual change suddenly becomes rapid and forms a new equilibrium. They're one of the most alarming threats of our planet's near future — and one of the most uncertain. When will a tipping point occur? Mathematicians are attempting to turn vague, apocalyptic visions into something that we can actually prepare for and deal with. On this week's episode, host Samir Patel speaks with contributing writer Gregory Barber about what tipping points can — and cannot — tell us about the future of our planet. This topic was covered in a recent story for Quanta Magazine. Each week on The Quanta Podcast, Quanta Magazine editor in chief Samir Patel speaks with the people behind the award-winning publication to navigate through some of the most important and mind-expanding questions in science and math.

Sharon Horgan (The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, Bad Sisters, Catastrophe) is an Emmy Award-nominated actor, writer, and producer. Sharon joins the Armchair Expert to discuss being one of three middle children, growing up with a tough publican father that went into the turkey trade, and an early approach by a famous director in a café to audition for one of his films. Sharon and Dax talk about having great recall for lines but basically no other information, the joy-filled buzz of her first time taking something from the page to the screen, and the sometimes tricky transition from set life back to home life. Sharon explains the unexpected rewards that can come from going in a different direction than originally intended, hitting the chemistry lottery and winning a Peabody for Bad Sisters, and the big swings taken in The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

PREVIEW: Chinese Economy Collapsing Due to Demographic Catastrophe GUEST NAME: Alan Tonelson (RealityChek) 100-WORD SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Alan Tonelson about the collapse of the Chinese economy. The underlying cause is demographics, specifically the catastrophic impact of the 20th century's one-child policy. Tonelson highlights that China's population is virtually collapsing. Citing the Financial Times, he states that the scale of China's economic collapse is so stunning that it is "unprecedented" and has "never been seen before in human history."

Now with up to 16 hours of Category 1 AMA CME Credits! https://www.doctorsandlitigation.com/LEAP/signup Our first conversation in Season 3 is with Dr. Anthony Orsini of The Orsini Way. Communication with patients or families after unexpected medical events is crucial, but most of us have no formal training in how to do it well. Compassionate and skilled conversations can pave the way for understanding and closure for families. However, when handled poorly or defensively, these conversations can create resentment, distrust, and anger, which can also make litigation more likely.  What do patients and families want from us in these moments? What do we do with our body language? What happens if we cry? Can we show compassion by touch, on the hand or the shoulder? Why is this so difficult? Have we lost our humanity in the name of professionalism? Dr. Orsini has spent the last 25 years developing proven communication techniques that help doctors build rapport and quickly form trusting relationships with their patients. Come along as we discuss evidence based strategies to handling these conversations better.   

A new report from Verisk predicts a “new reality” in future natural catastrophes, with unprecedented global losses to exceed $152 billion annually.  It's being driven by “frequency perils” − frequent events, such as daily afternoon summer storms and hurricanes, that are driving high-impact losses.Former Florida Deputy Insurance Commissioner Lisa Miller sits down with a Verisk modeler and a Florida property insurance company meteorologist and risk analyst, to discuss how catastrophe modeling works, how insurance companies use it to set homeowners rates, and its importance in understanding and mitigating extreme weather risks now and in the future.Show Notes  (For full Show Notes, visit https://lisamillerassociates.com/episode-60-our-growing-catastrophe-risk/) The podcast discusses the increasing frequency and severity of storms and their impact on property insurance rates, particularly in Florida.  Dr. Julia Borman is Assistant Vice President of the Regulatory and Rating Client Services Team at Verisk.  It's part of the data analytic firm's Extreme Event Solutions division, which assists clients in working with regulators and rating agencies on a variety of projects, including data calls, utilizing catastrophe modeling in rating plans, and stress tests.  Natalie Ferrari is a Meteorologist and Catastrophic Risk Analyst for American Integrity Insurance Company, based in Tampa, Florida.  She provides data-driven insights into developing storms and their potential impacts by leveraging Verisk's modeling.  Together, with host Miller, they explored the evolving landscape of catastrophic risk modeling in rate filings and regulatory processes, the intensifying impact of extreme weather, and the need for resilience and preparedness in the face of natural disasters that modeling can guide.Catastrophe Models: The Backbone of Modern InsuranceVerisk's newest report, Modeling Insured Catastrophe Losses: A Global Perspective for 2025, projects expected future global losses to exceed $152 billion annually.  That's up from the $132 billion annual average loss over the past five years.  Host Miller quoted Verisk Extreme Event Solutions President Rob Newbold's remarks on the September 2025 report, that “the modeled losses reflect a fundamental shift in the risk landscape.  Natural catastrophe losses are no longer statistical anomalies.  They are the new normal.”  Borman said the report's $152 billion figure is a particularly significant one, given that the actual global losses in 2024 were around $137 billion.  “Over half of it was what we call frequency peril loss.  You used to hear around the industry, folks were calling things like severe thunderstorms and wildfire ‘secondary perils.'  We don't call them that at Verisk anymore.  They are frequency perils based on the fact that they happen often, typically within a year and those can really aggregate up into a large proportion of an insurance company's overall loss for the year,” Borman said.The catastrophe models look at a variety of different perils, including hurricanes, earthquakes, flooding, wildfires, and winter storms.  “We were writing the report not just to understand the total amount of loss, but also the insurance gap that might exist around the world and where that was most prevalent,” she added.   (For full Show Notes, visit https://lisamillerassociates.com/episode-60-our-growing-catastrophe-risk/) 

What if the figures we fear… aren't here to harm us, but to warn us?Tonight on Late Night Legends, special guest Stormphrog guides us into the realm of Harbinger Entities — mysterious beings who appear before world-changing events. From Mothman's shadow over Point Pleasant and whispers of Chernobyl, to entities we refuse to name here (you'll have to listen to learn the rest)… we ask the ultimate question:Are these omens of doom, or guardians at the threshold of destiny?Between philosophical terror and Taco Bell theology, the LNL crew wrestles with fate, free will, and fire sauce. Some warnings come with wings. Some arrive in dreams. All of them… mean something.

There's no avoiding it: Things feel pretty bleak. To witness venture-capital-fueled AI domination, democracy's steady drift toward authoritarianism, state-sanctioned genocide, and, of course, the collapse of one climate boundary after another, is to encounter a profound, at times overwhelming, sense of despair. But what if the path forward lies in accepting, rather than resisting, this despair? In his new book, Learning to Live in the Dark: Essays in a Time of Catastrophe, climate activist and journalist Wen Stephenson argues that the only way to confront the crises of our time is to meet this despair head-on—to see it for what it is, to feel it, and to accept what it means about where we are and where we must go. In this episode, Wen discusses how he's dealt with his own climate despair and how we can all "live into this era of climate and political and social catastrophe…while holding on to our humanity.” Learn more about your ad choices.

on this week's podcast... It wasn't the result we wanted, but it was the result we needed. We breakdown the Porto game.

A patient rolls into the OR with a tracheostomy—do you maintain the current tube, intubate orally, or go through the stoma? We break down the decision tree that keeps patients safe, from assessing tract maturity and surgical needs to choosing cuffed vs uncuffed strategies and planning for positive pressure ventilation. Then we shift to a critical safety pivot: total laryngectomy. When the trachea is sutured to the skin, the mouth and nose no longer connect to the lungs, and attempts at oral intubation can be deadly. We explain how to recognize the anatomy fast, oxygenate at the neck, and advance through a stepwise algorithm that reduces risk in time‑sensitive emergencies.Drawing on practical pearls and human‑factors design, we highlight why bedside signs and EMR alerts matter, how standardized language improves handoffs, and where airway exchange catheters, bougies, and wire‑reinforced tubes fit into safe practice. You'll hear clear guidance on cuff placement relative to the stoma, avoiding mainstem intubation, using waveform capnography for continuous confirmation, and preventing false passages in fresh tracheostomies. We also review eye‑opening data on attempted oral intubations after laryngectomy, underscoring the need for staff education, patient engagement, and systems that make the right move the easy one.If you manage airways in perioperative or emergency settings, this conversation strengthens your mental models and your muscle memory. Tune in for concise, actionable steps, download the signage and algorithms from the show notes, and share the episode with your team. If this helped sharpen your airway plan, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us your go‑to approach for trach and laryngectomy cases.For show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/275-tracheostomy-and-laryngectomy-patient-safety/© 2025, The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation

Since then for more than two and a half decades he has been running his own hedge fund. During his financial career, his main focus has been on finding and understanding collective human behavioral patterns that comprise the study of human systems behavior. Including deep-seated ‘patterns' in history and then using them to predict the future for geopolitics and markets in today's turbulent times. He has a remarkable track record. David has written four books. Breaking the Code of History recognizes that post 9/11, the world changed in an instant. Using his theory's of human social structures he was able to successfully predict back in 2007 the key process in human social structures that have impacted today's changing world, including the decline of America and the West and the rise of China, and the reality of climate change. His second book released in 2018 is Lions Led By Lions which examines Britain's misunderstood involvement in the First World War and the achieved learning curve of its Army's leadership that resulted in a war-winning British Expeditionary Force rolling back the German Army in 1918. The story provides clear lessons that should be applied by today's leaders concerning the deterrence of global conflict. David's third book is a call to arms, in which his Now or Never UK Defense Review highlights the clear and present threats faced by Britain in the years and decade ahead from Russia and especially China, and the urgency for the need for large scale rearmament to secure the future peace. David's latest book Red Lightning which integrates fact and fiction and describes from a future perspective how China wins WW3 in 2025. It is a sober warning to the leaders of the Western World, that peace will only be maintained by a hard-won deterrence of aggression. *Podcast intro music is from the song "The Queens Jig" by "Musicke & Mirth" from their album "Music for Two Lyra Viols": http://musicke-mirth.de/en/recordings.html (available on iTunes or Amazon)

Strap in for Episode 183, where Joe and Reese stumble through technical gremlins like they're broadcasting from a haunted Radio Shack. The duo dives deep into the glamorous world of cat litter, with Joe scooping enough clumps to rival a kitty crime syndicate and Reese ready to launch his deck-defiling felines into orbit. They toss in wild tangents about swanky podcast swag bags stuffed with iPhones and rollerblades, plus a bizarre nod to hot dog-whiskey concoctions that nobody asked for.

They discuss the legacy of Rachel Carson and the mainstreaming of the U.S. environmental movement, the rise of green capitalism, liberal co-optation of the environmental movement, and militant eco-movements in the U.S. and around the world. Bio//John Maerhofer, Ph.D. is an activist-scholar based in the greater NYC area. He has taught literature, radical ecological history, and interdisciplinary studies at various colleges and universities, including Hofstra University, the University of Rhode Island, and at several campuses in the CUNY system.
