Blind But Unstoppable – Azraa Ebrahim graduates cum laude at UKZN with 14 distinctions by Radio Islam

Douglas P. Horne joins us to discuss his 2 volume book. Deception, Intrigue, and the Road to War (Vol. 1 of 2)Did President Franklin D. Roosevelt have foreknowledge of the attack---and did he (and his senior military leadership) then withhold that knowledge from his overseas commanders in Hawaii?Douglas P. Horne, a 1974 Cum Laude graduate of The Ohio State University who majored in history, and author of the five-volume work "Inside the Assassination Records Review Board" (about the U.S. Government's medical cover-up of the JFK assassination), has put his 40 years of combined military-and-civilian service to the Federal Government to good use in studying the 1945-46 Congressional Investigation into the Pearl Harbor attack; a little-known 1946 U.S. Government report containing key evidence about the attack; and the most recent Revisionist works about Pearl Harbor, to produce a grand "new synthesis" which answers the persistent question: "Did FDR know about the Pearl Harbor attack before it took place?" A former U.S. Naval Officer who spent 14 years working in four different Navy jobs at Pearl Harbor, and a Japanophile who has always been fascinated by the Imperial Japanese Navy, Horne has applied his own Navy job experience, and his understanding of how the government operates, to a plethora of data about the Pearl Harbor attack, to produce a work of high tension and drama that attempts to deal honestly with the most significant foreign policy event in America's 20th century history. Mr Horne is the man to thank for obtaining the documents exposing Operation NorthwoordBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Después de trabajar con artistas como "Christina Rosenvinge", "Alex Acosta" ("Fuel fandango") o Juanma Latorre ("Vetusta Morla") nos presenta ahora su primer trabajo grande, "Canciones Bobas". Son 13 temas en los que el amor sin complejos, la profundidad y también lo "bobo" de la existencia, se entremezclan en composiciones que fusionan el Pop, el Techno y la Eléctrónica. Premiada como mejor alumna del "Berklee College of Music" en el año 2019, Cum Laude en la maestría de "Contemporary Performance Production Concentration", los conciertos de "XERACH" son una un autentico goce para los sentidos, pues están presentes la música, la danza y el videoarte. Hablamos con "XERACH", de este excelente primer trabajo y también con "Christina Rosenvinge", con la que ha compartido gira reciente y con la que también colabora habitualmente.""Desde la iniciativa "Hogar sin Tóxicos", se insta a las autoridades comunitarias a la reforma urgente del reglamento sobre materiales en contacto con los alimentos, que lleva más de 20 años sin actualizarse. Más de 12000 sustancias químicas se emplean a nivel global en la fabricación de diferentes materiales que están en contacto con los alimentos y de ellas, 1400 se consideran preocupantes, a pesar de no contar con una clasificación oficial de riesgo. El aumento de diferentes tipos de cáncer, infertilidad y enfermedades metabólicas, entre otras, tienen que ver, según diferentes estudios científicos, con la exposición a sustancias tóxicas para los seres humanos y también para el planeta. Los intereses de grandes corporaciones químicas se están poniendo por delante de la salud de los ciudadanos europeos, con el añadido de un gasto enorme para los sistemas sanitarios que tienen que hacer frente a diferentes enfermedades que se derivan de esa exposición a sustancias tóxicas. Hablamos de todas estas cuestiones con Carlos de Prada, periodista, investigador y responsable de "Hogar sin Tóxicos" y también con Nicolás Olea, catedrático de Medicina de la Universidad de Granada y unos de los mayores expertos en el tema." Escuchar audio

Highlights from the Show AM Best is known for many things, but mainly for the assessments and ratings they perform on players across the insurance industry. For the Delegated Underwriting Authority Enterprise (DUAE) space in particular, they are bringing transparency to help drive continued growth not only of the DUAE segment, but the product innovation that goes on within it. The level of growth in the delegated underwriting authority space has been huge, getting to $77B in the US alone, and making up 10% of the P&C market globally. The key areas they look at when assessing DUAEs includes Operations, UW Capabilities, Governance and Controls, Financials and Corporate Structure. This analysis helps bring transparency to the sector to help facilitate partnerships while also giving DUAEs a blueprint for how to optimize their operations for growth, stability and, ultimately, success Why do insurers work with Delegated Underwriting Authority Enterprises (DUAEs), like MGAs and MGUs? Can't they just compete in the market directly? DUAEs bring expertise in niches and market segments that incumbent carriers may not be able to build efficiently given their scale, and the relative size of these niches being too small to support the operational cost of a carrier. DUAEs often come with expertise and distribution in the segment, allowing carriers working with them to access new spaces efficiently, quickly and profitably. What can support or stand in the way of the success of a Delegated Underwriting Authority Enterprises (DUAEs), like MGAs and MGUs? AM Best performs assessments of these entities to bring transparency to key success factors insurers would look at when deciding whether to work with a DUAE or not.

La Universidad Pública en España y sus profesionales están cada vez más amenazados en un contexto de privatizaciones extremo y precariedad laboral. Un modelo que la Comunidad de Madrid tiene por bandera, y que amenaza con reproducirse por el resto del país, donde la infrafinanciación universitaria es una enfermedad antigua y crónica. En este programa analizamos por qué nuestras universidades públicas están en quiebra, quién necesita que lo estén y qué nos jugamos si muere uno de los ascensores sociales más significativos, eficaces y trascendentales de nuestra democracia. Lo hacemos con profesores, especialistas en educación, periodistas y el secretario de Estado de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades.
