Mattin and Miguel Prado sit down with friend of the pod and fellow NRU member Inigo Wilkins to dive into Shitshow Theory — a work-in-progress text by Mattin and Inigo — and Miguel's own take on what he calls Entropic Modernity. Together we try to make sense of the neo-reactionary turn, Trump-era chaos, and the cultural meltdown we're all living through. Theorising the shitshow, one glitch at a time.

It's time for The Truth!Today, Sam and Dougie are looking at how Hansi Flick's slightly surprising appointment at Barcelona last summer has turned into a masterstroke, and how the German has immediately brought the Blaugrana back to the top table of European football with a string of youngsters and some of the most exciting attacking football on the continent. There were question marks about Flick after his ill-fated tenure with the German national team, but his record at club level speaks for itself. And yet, when he was appointed at Barcelona to replace Xavi last summer, there were plenty who felt that this could be a step in the wrong direction for a Barcelona side mired in debt and already one step behind fierce rivals Real Madrid, who had just won La Liga and the Champions League, and then gone out and signed Kylian Mbappé, who was widely considered the best player in the world. But Flick took Xavi's possession-orientated philosophy and made it more direct, more streamlined; put his faith in the youngsters emerging from La Masia; and turned good players into superstars - all whilst staying true to his own brand of football and putting perhaps the boldest style of football in Europe on display for all to see. So was this a stroke of luck that the players matched his philosophy, or has the former Bayern treble-winner worked his magic again on another squad willing to do whatever he needs for them to get to the very top? Well, The Truth is somewhere in the middle...

ESSENTIEL, UN MONDE DE LIVRES Josyane Savigneau reçoit François Sureau pour son livre « Les enfants perdus » aux éditions Gallimard. À propos du livre : « Les enfants perdus » paru aux éditions Gallimard. Dans le premier volet des aventures de Thomas More, nous faisons connaissance avec ce détective à la fois mystérieux et attirant. Nous sommes en 1870, après la défaite de Sedan. More, commissaire spécial à la Sûreté, est retenu prisonnier dans la presqu'île d'Iges, comme des milliers de soldats français. Un crime commis dans son entourage conduit le roi de Prusse à demander l'aide de More. Chemin faisant, le commissaire éclaircit le mystère d'un autre assassinat, celui d'un capitaine de cuirassiers tué par un homme venu du bout du monde. Puis, rendu à la liberté en compagnie de son ami l'intendant Seligmann, More se consacre à l'affaire des incendies d'églises, sur la route de Laon à l'Alsace... Derrière l'aventure, François Sureau nous donne à lire un récit sur la nature du mal, du crime, du criminel, sur le passage du temps, qui confère une portée grave et profonde à ce feuilleton de haute volée où tours de passe-passe et érudition ajoutent au grand plaisir de lecture. François Sureau est né en 1957 à Paris. Ancien membre du Conseil d'État, il est aujourd'hui avocat à Paris. Écrivain, il a déjà publié aux Éditions Gallimard La corruption du siècle (collection Blanche, 1988), L'infortune (collection Blanche, 1990, Folio n° 2429), L'aile de nos chimères (collection Blanche, 1993, Folio n° 2429), Les Alexandrins (collection Blanche, 2003), La chanson de Passavant (collection Blanche, 2005), L'obéissance (collection Blanche, 2007, Folio n° 4805), adapté en BD par Franck Bourgeron (Futuropolis, 2009), Inigo (collection Blanche, 2010, Folio n° 5345), Sans bruit sans trace (collection Blanche, 2011).

In this episode, we chat with James Fryer, an experienced mining underwriter for Inigo, who are global specialists in high-risk, high-capacity insurance and reinsurance lines – serving some of the world’s largest commercial and industrial enterprises including the mining and resources sector. James explains more about the insurance industry, what mining companies could do better from a risk prospective, how insurance companies can improve their negative reputations, what are the current risk challenges in our industry, and what makes a good mining client from an insurance perspective. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's crucial for mining companies to fully understand the details of their insurance policies, including what is covered and what is not. Misunderstandings often lead to conflicts during claims. Insurance for mining companies should be bespoke, as each mining operation has unique risks and challenges. Insurers work closely with mining companies to develop tailored insurance products that meet their specific needs. Insurance companies need to adopt a more proactive approach to risk management by learning from past losses and providing clarity in policy wording. This helps ensure that mining companies have certainty in their coverage when losses occur. The mining industry faces new risks due to technological advancements, such as automation and electrification. Insurers must adapt their policies to address these emerging risks while also leveraging technology for better risk assessment and monitoring. A successful partnership between mining companies and insurers is built on trust and transparency. Long-term relationships allow both parties to better understand each other's risks and needs, ultimately leading to more effective risk management and support during claims. BEST MOMENTS "Insurance is just another method of risk management. It's that transfer of risk from the company to a third party, in this case being the insurance company." "Not every mine is the same. Our job is to work with insurance brokers and the mining companies to develop something that is suitable for them." "Insurance is very reactive. There are those losses that will occur that a 60-page insurance wording contract just isn't able to respond to." "The best insurance policy is one that you will never have to claim on because it means that you haven't had that financial loss."

Are you familiar with the classic movie, "The Princess Bride"? If you are, you can probably complete Mandy Patinkin's famous line, "My name is Inigo Montoya..." At the end of the movie, he says this: "I have been in the revenge business so long, now that it's over, I don't know what to do with the rest of my life." While most of us probably haven't shaped our lives around payback as much as Inigo, it is still easy to let revenge (or even the desire to make things right) quietly control our lives. In our society, it's normal to hit back when we are wronged. We may even justify it by remembering this verse: But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise. Exodus 21:23–25 NIV Join us as we continue our series, Twisters: When God's Words Get Twisted, with Part 11: An Eye for an Eye, and look at what God wants us to do when we are wronged. The Program and Message Listening Guide (printable format) with fill-in-the-blanks are available for download on our website.

On Episode 3, Season 6 of The Art Career, Emily sits down with Orlando Whitfield, author of All That Glitters: A STORY OF FRIENDSHIP, FRAUD, AND FINE ART Orlando Whitfield and Inigo Philbrick met in 2006 at London's Goldsmiths University where they became best friends. By 2007 they had started I&O Fine Art. Orlando would eventually set up his own gallery and watch as Inigo quickly immersed himself in a world of private jets and multimillion-dollar deals for major clients. Inigo seemed brilliant, but underneath the extravagant façade, his complicated financial schemes were unraveling. With debt, lawsuits, and court summonses piling up, Inigo went into a tailspin of lies and subterfuge. At around the same time, Orlando would himself experience a nervous breakdown and leave the art world for good. By 2019 things had spiraled enough out of control for Inigo to flee to the remote island nation of Vanuatu, 300 miles west of Fiji. Within a year, he was arrested by the FBI and extradited to America, where he was sentenced to seven years in prison for having committed more than $86 million in fraud. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/703052/all-that-glitters-by-orlando-whitfield/ https://www.theartcareer.com https://www.instagram.com/theartcareer/?hl=en

In this abridged preview, Paul and Howard discuss a recent paper by Inigo San Millán and co-authors titled 'Metabolic and Cellular Differences between Sedentary and Active Individuals at Rest and During Exercise.' The paper reveals the dramatic metabolic consequences of being sedentary, even among those who consider themselves healthy. The hosts delve into how sedentary individuals show significantly poorer mitochondrial function, reduced fat oxidation, and impaired lactate clearance compared to their moderately active counterparts. They emphasize the insidious nature of these metabolic issues, which remain undetectable through standard medical tests and often go unnoticed until they manifest in more severe health problems. Paul and Howard stress the importance of regular physical activity and explain the underlying science, including the role of mitochondrial health and fat oxidation.00:00 Introduction and Overview00:59 Key Findings of the Study02:15 Metabolic Health and Mitochondrial Function03:59 Striking Differences Between Active and Sedentary Individuals05:02 Implications for Everyday Health05:53 The Role of Physical Activity06:45 Lactate and Metabolic Fitness09:07 Clinical Observations and Testing15:21 The Insidious Nature of Being Unhealthy18:53 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsFor the full episode, as well as a complete transcript, upgrade to being a premium member at Simplavida.com.

When it comes to classic films that have left an indelible mark on pop culture, few stand out as vividly as The Princess Bride (1987). Directed by Rob Reiner and adapted from William Goldman's novel of the same name, this film is a rare gem that effortlessly blends adventure, romance, and comedy into a story that continues to captivate audiences across generations. In the latest episode of Born to Watch, Whitey and Damo are joined by our great American mates from the Middle Aged Movie Podcast to explore what makes this film such a cherished piece of cinematic history. It's clear that The Princess Bride is much more than just a fairy tale; it's a cinematic masterpiece that remains as relevant and enchanting today as it was over three decades ago.A Genre-Defying StoryThe Princess Bride defies easy categorisation. At its core, it's a love story between the beautiful Buttercup (Robin Wright) and her devoted farmhand, Westley (Cary Elwes). But describing it merely as a love story would be a disservice to its richness of narrative. The film is a tapestry woven with fantasy, adventure, comedy, and satire elements. It masterfully parodies the tropes of traditional fairy tales while embracing them, creating a unique, sincere and self-aware tone. The film's brilliant use of a framing device—a grandfather (Peter Falk) reading a book to his sick grandson (Fred Savage)—immediately sets the stage for a tale that is both nostalgic and timeless. This storytelling method allows the film to break the fourth wall and engage the audience directly, making it feel like we, too, are being told a story by a beloved family member. This technique highlights the film's storytelling theme as a powerful and enduring form of connection, resonating deeply with viewers of all ages.Iconic Characters and PerformancesOne of the most memorable aspects of The Princess Bride is its cast of unforgettable characters, brought to life by an ensemble of actors who deliver some of the most iconic performances in cinematic history. Cary Elwes as Westley perfectly embodies the quintessential hero—charming, witty, and endlessly resourceful. His journey from farm boy to the legendary Dread Pirate Roberts is one of the film's most satisfying arcs, and Elwes' performance balances swashbuckling action with deadpan humour, making Westley both a classic and a modern hero. In her film debut, Robin Wright plays Buttercup with a delicate balance of strength and vulnerability. While her character is often the damsel in distress, Wright's portrayal adds depth to Buttercup, making her more than a passive love interest. She gracefully embodies the film's central love story, making the audience root for her and Westley's reunion.Mandy Patinkin's Inigo Montoya, the vengeful Spaniard seeking to avenge his father's death, delivers one of the most famous lines in film history: “Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” Patinkin's portrayal infuses the character with a passion and sincerity that make Inigo's quest one of the film's most emotionally resonant subplots.Wallace Shawn as Vizzini, the cunning Sicilian whose overconfidence leads to one of the most entertaining battles of wits ever captured on film, is hilarious and memorable. His repeated exclamations of “Inconceivable!” have become a catchphrase that has outlived the movie.And, of course, André the Giant as Fezzik, the gentle giant with a heart of gold, is another standout. André's natural charisma and physical presence make Fezzik one of the film's most endearing characters, providing comic relief and emotional warmth.A Perfect Blend of Humour and HeartIts seamless blend of humour and heart sets The Princess Bride apart. William Goldman's screenplay is filled with sharp, witty dialogue that keeps the audience laughing, but it never sacrifices the story's emotional core. The humour is often self-referential and playful, poking fun at the conventions of the genre while also delivering genuine moments of tenderness and affection.The film's pacing is another key factor in its enduring appeal. At a brisk 98 minutes, The Princess Bride never overstays its welcome. Each scene serves a purpose, whether advancing the plot, deepening the characters, or delivering a memorable line that will be quoted for years to come. The balance of action, romance, and comedy ensures something for everyone, making it a perfect family film that appeals to both children and adults.Cinematography and Score: Enhancing the FantasyThe visual and auditory elements of The Princess Bride play a significant role in creating its fairy-tale atmosphere. The cinematography by Adrian Biddle captures the beauty and whimsy of the film's various settings, from the rolling hills of Florin to the foreboding Cliffs of Insanity. The use of practical effects and on-location shooting gives the film a timeless quality that CGI-heavy movies often lack.Mark Knopfler's score further enhances the film's enchanting mood. The music is both romantic and adventurous, perfectly complementing the tone of the story. Knopfler's theme for The Princess Bride is instantly recognisable, its gentle melodies evoking the nostalgia and magic that defines the film.A Cultural PhenomenonSince its release, The Princess Bride has grown from a modest box-office success to a full-fledged cultural phenomenon. Its influence can be seen in countless other films, TV shows, and even video games that have drawn inspiration from its blend of romance, adventure, and humour. The film's dialogue has become so ingrained in popular culture that even those who haven't seen it can often recognise its most famous lines.Moreover, The Princess Bride has inspired a fiercely loyal fan base that spans multiple generations. Its appeal lies in its universal themes of love, bravery, and the triumph of good over evil. These themes resonate with audiences of all ages, making it a film that parents are eager to share with their children, ensuring its legacy for years.Conclusion: A Tale for the AgesThe Princess Bride (1987) is more than just a movie; it's an experience that transports viewers into a world where true love conquers all, where heroes are brave and resourceful, and where even the most diabolical villains have a touch of humour. Its perfect blend of romance, adventure, and comedy, combined with unforgettable characters and iconic dialogue, makes it a timeless classic that continues to enchant audiences nearly four decades after its release.At Born to Watch, we believe that in a cinematic landscape often dominated by franchises and reboots, The Princess Bride stands out as a reminder of the power of original storytelling. It's a film that doesn't rely on spectacle or special effects but on the strength of its characters, the wit of its script, and the sincerity of its heart. For these reasons and many more, The Princess Bride remains a beloved favourite, a movie that future generations will cherish.For those who have yet to experience the magic of The Princess Bride, there's no better time than now. And for those who have already fallen under its spell, it's always worth revisiting, if only to remind yourself that true love, as Westley famously declares, “is the greatest thing in the world.”Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcasthttps://www.borntowatch.com....

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 3, 2024 is: parry • PAIR-ee • verb Parry has two basic meanings. To parry can be to defend yourself by turning away from or pushing aside a weapon, assault, etc., or to evade something, such as a question, especially by using a clever response. // Players of the game must unfailingly parry blows from multiple varied attackers while progressing through a series of worlds. // She is consistently able to parry even the most difficult questions reporters level at her. See the entry > Examples: “Few things annoy me more than a fight scene that's simply a blow-by-blow account. ‘He threw a right jab, which she parried and countered with a left knee, which he dodged by rolling out of the way.' But to what end? The beauty of literature is it's not a movie. Certainly, one should help readers visualize movements, but good prose can do so much more.” — Rita Chang-Eppig, LitHub.com, 19 May 2023 Did you know? In the The Princess Bride, William Goldman's 1973 comedic novel later made into a popular film of the same name, there is swashbuckling galore, as in the famous showdown between the mysterious man in black and the Spanish swordsman Inigo Montoya: “The man in black was slowly being forced toward a group of large boulders, for Inigo was anxious to see how well he moved when quarters were close, when you could not thrust or parry with total freedom.” To parry is to ward off a weapon or blow; indeed, parrying is as important to fencing as sticking one's opponent with the pointy end. The word parry was borrowed from the French verb parer, meaning “to ward off” or “to avert,” and was first used in English in the late 17th century. It didn't take long for parry to gain a figurative meaning of “to evade or turn aside something,” as when someone disarms a verbal sparring partner with a well-timed rejoinder. Montoya, for instance, parries the criminal Vizzini's doubt that the man in black can catch up to them (“Inconceivable!”) with the sharp response “You keep using that word! … I don't think it means what you think it does.”

Writer, former art dealer, and author of All that Glitters- A Story of Friendship, Fraud, and Fine Art, Orlando Whitfield talks about: His interest in street photography, and how philosophy and critical thinking led him to apply and then attend Goldsmith's College; a quick update on his former friend, co-worker, collaborator and employer Inigo Philbrick, who in the book was sentenced to seven years in prison but has since been released, and how he sent a heckler to one of Orlando's book readings; how and why Orlando feels Philbrick has changed since the time of their friendship and working relationship, particularly in the last 7 years, about the time that he began committing fraud in his private art dealings; the various ways Orlando wasn't cut out to be a dealer, particularly the perpetual let-downs after a seemingly very interested buyer (from a pool of too wealthy, feckless, collectors) suddenly pulls out, and how 9 out 10 deals die on the vine; the challenge of indoctrinating new collectors from his and his gallerist partner's (Ben Hunter) friends- they could either go on holiday or buy art, not both, and so opted for the former; his involvement in a complex secondary market sale of a Christopher Wool work on paper, including the various stresses and complexities which ultimately, even though lucrative for Orlando, made him feel like a fraud. To listen to the full episode with Orlando Whitfield, please become a Patreon supporter of the podcast here: https://www.patreon.com/theconversationpod In the 2nd half of the episode, available to Patreon subscribers, Orlando discusses: The very wealthy inhabitants of the art world, many of whom Orlando encountered, and their separation from, and sometimes even contempt for, those who aren't also rich themselves; how in his transition to becoming a writer, he's found the writing world/community much more open and welcoming than the art world; how he finds the way the art world operates is like an aristocracy, where you're not told the rules until you've broken them; how All that Glitters has sold well thus far in the U.K., and how the rights have been purchased for television by a UK production company; and who Orlando thinks should play Orlando, who Inigo thinks should play Inigo, and who I think should play Inigo in the film version of the book.

James has an illustrious career in operational transformation and technology innovation, having played pivotal roles as a consultant and partner at Boston Consulting Group and as the CEO of Digital Solutions at Aon.Together, Juan and James discuss why James believes the combined ratio is the worst thing that ever happened to the insurance industry, the reasons why the industry hasn't evolved as successfully as the mortgage and asset management sectors have, and why data, digitisation, and decision-making can be the levers for change.If you'd prefer to watch the episode instead, simply click here!To discover out more about digital risk processing, click here.Our previous guests include: Bronek Masojada of PPL, Simon McGinn of Allianz, Richard Coleman of Ecclesiastical, Steven Wilkins of Hiscox, Matthew Grant of InsTech, Philippe Lutgen of Howden, Paolo Cuomo of Gallagher Re, and Thierry Daucourt of AXA.Check out the three most downloaded episodes: The Five Pillars of Data Analytics Strategy in Insurance | Craig Knightly, Inigo 20 Years as CEO of Hiscox: Personal Reflections and the Evolution of PPL | Bronek Masojada Implementing ESG in the Insurance and Underwriting Space | Simon Tighe, Chaucer, and Paul McCarney, Moody's
