[PARTENARIAT] Comment la technologie de la fibre optique évolue-t-elle pour répondre aux besoins croissants de débit ? Fabienne Salliou, ingénieure chez Orange Innovation, explique le développement du 50G-PON et son impact sur le futur de la connectivité. Aujourd'hui, la fibre optique joue un rôle central dans notre connectivité, avec des débits atteignant 10 gigabits. Orange, à travers ses activités de recherche, se prépare à l'avenir avec le 50G-PON, une technologie prometteuse qui quintuple ce débit. Ce développement ouvre la porte à des applications inédites pour les entreprises, les antennes mobiles et d'autres terminaisons réseau. Cette avancée technologique s'appuiera sur l'infrastructure de fibre optique existante, évitant ainsi des coûts exorbitants de remplacement. Actuellement, la France utilise principalement la technologie G-PON, offrant 1 gigabit par seconde. Orange a lancé sa Lifebox 7, introduisant le XGS PON pour offrir jusqu'à 10 gigabits en ligne. Avec le 50G-PON, l'opérateur anticipe des besoins futurs en débit élevé, tout en s'assurant que cette technologie soit compatible avec le réseau existant. ----- Mots-clés : 50G-PON, fibre optique, débit Internet, innovation technologique, Orange, connectivité, infrastructure réseau.

Dr Rachel Freedman tells us about the Lifebox project, and her time as a Lifebox fellow in Mbarara, Uganda

Every year, the BMJ has a charity appeal - we've regularly focused on organisations like MSF, or Lifebox - providing support to areas of the world which don't have good healthcare provision… This year though, covid-19 has changed everything - and we're focussed inwards, on the UK. With growing unemployment, sections of the population being laid off, and with the well documented delays in receiving universal credit - food insecurity has become a major issue in the sixth largest economy in the world. In this podcast Martin Caraher, emeritus professor of food and health policy at City University of London, explains how this crisis is a long time coming, and the result of the inattention of successive governments to the issue of hunger. We also hear from Sabine Goodwin, coordinator of the Independent Food Aid Network, the recipients of this years award funds, about how the their network is being affected by the covid-19 pandemic, and how your money will be used to supports food banks, and advocate for their obsolescence Donate the the Independent Food Aid Network here: https://www.foodaidnetwork.org.uk/bmj

About the Author   Atul Gawande, MD, MPH, is a surgeon, writer, and public health leader. He is CEO of the non-profit-seeking health care venture formed by Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, and JPMorgan Chase to deliver better outcomes, satisfaction, and cost efficiency in care. He practices general and endocrine surgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He is a professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the Samuel O. Thier Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School.   He is the founding executive director and chairman of Ariadne Labs, a joint center for health systems innovation, and chairman of Lifebox, a nonprofit organization making surgery safer Globally.   Atul has been a staff writer for The New Yorker magazine since 1998 and has written four New York Times bestsellers: Complications, Better, The Checklist Manifesto, and Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End.   He is the winner of two National Magazine Awards, AcademyHealth’s Impact Award for highest research impact on healthcare, a MacArthur Fellowship, and the Lewis Thomas Award for writing about science.   (Source: http://atulgawande.com/about/) About the Book   The Checklist Manifesto is a book about how the most complex and complicated scenarios can be better managed with the structured approach of the simple (but powerful) checklist. It includes examples from operating rooms, flight decks, hurricane recoveries, kitchens and construction sites.   As life and work gets more challenging and specialised, this book documents the practical journey Atul and his team went on to develop a safe surgery checklist to reduce potentially fatal errors in operating theatres which was adopted in hospitals around the world. Ultimately the message is one of humility; no matter how experienced or clever you are, there is always a need for a process and a checklist to aid your own judgement. BIG IDEA 1 (3:30) - Checklist helps save lives and money better than humans. In the ICU having a checklist helps avoid complications on 178 actions for a typical patient per day. In an environment that can be stressful, a checklist helps systematize the process.   In investment, a checklist is very important in decision making. It helps people make more balance decision without having their emotion get in the way the can cloud the judgement.  Important and critical moments should have a checklist to be systems driven and consistent.   In this age of complexity, the checklist helps us keep things in check.   BIG IDEA 2 (5:23) - How to checklist. You need to check the checklist with different teams and cultures; know what is important and make sure the language is clear. Confusion can arise if the language is too complicated, too wordy or if there aren’t enough words because it’s too concise.   Two types of checklist are read/do checklist and the do/confirm checklist. Both types of checklist if well-defined and and well-designed will change the communication of the team in a scenario.   In designing a checklist it’s important to have the pause point to make sure that there are clear points where the checklist is deployed and clear stages in a process.  Vitally, it’s important to know everyone’s role related to the checklist. Which brings us to... BIG IDEA 3 (7:47) - Don't let the leaders run the checklist. For someone who have been doing something for years, ego can get in the way, for having to use a checklist. Know who’s role it is to run the checklist and don’t let that be the leader. While the leader doesn’t run the checklist, their judgement and experience that comes with time allows leaders to use them in a better, more structured way whilst reducing human errors.

I'm on my second time through a 6 day cycle of 3 days fasting followed by 3 days feasting. Before I started, I was eating keto to satiety and slowly gaining weight. I was eating a lot at night, eating lots of macadamias, and drinking wine. So, I was primed for a change. My first day of a 3-day fast started with keto coffee (lots of coconut oil and a pinch of cayenne). Midday I had a mug of bone broth with a Tbsp of butter melted in it. At night I went right for salt-water with a dash of Chipotle chili pepper powder. I use Morton lite-salt so I can get some Potassium. On the second and third days of the fast I only drank black coffee and my hot salt-water concoction. At the end of the 3-day fast my fingers were getting cold but I had lost 7 pounds. I broke the fast with a handful of nuts and then a big meal after about 30 minutes. I feasted for 3 days eating 2 meals a day within a 6-hour window for an 18-hour intermittent fast. I know I overate a couple times with plenty of butter and macadamia nuts for lots of fat—lots. I was poaching burgers in butter, eating rib eye steaks, fried fish with keto breading, and an entire jar of tartar sauce. Still, I didn't gain an ounce in the 3 days that I feasted. Yesterday was my first day back to fasting. I started the day with keto coffee again, and my salt-water concoction with 1 tbsp of butter, and a couple more of those without the butter later in the day. This morning I had lost another 3 pounds. So, that's 10 pounds in 7 days—the most weight I've ever lost in a week. Ever. Also, last night my blood sugar was the lowest I've ever recorded it at 66. The first day of fasting is challenging, even the second time around. Last night I was dreaming of fast food. But, I got over it, and it was smooth sailing again here on Day 2. This pattern seems to really be working for me and I plan to continue on this path until it stops working. Thanks for the great advice. You guys are awesome.

Does eating a small amount of food in the middle of an extended fast impact my insulin levels and fasting efforts? Hey Jimmy and Megan, I love The Complete Guide to Fasting and have learned so much from it and your Fasting Talk podcast. I have a question for you guys. I started my fast on Thursday at 7:30pm and went until 11:30pm Saturday temporarily breaking the fast with 1 Tbs of natural peanut butter and a few bites of brussels sprouts. Then I decided to fast all day Sunday throughTuesday at 7:30 PM. All in all, it was a total of five days with that little bit of food. What if anything did that food break do to my insulin levels and fasting efforts? I have three small children and can’t check my insulin levels, so any insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated. All the best, Brieanne 2. Can someone with bulimia or binge eating disorder engage in fasting? Would this be beneficial or detrimental towards their efforts of overcoming it? Dear Jimmy and Megan, I have read your book on fasting and it was so full of great knowledge that I am grateful for. I am currently breastfeeding, so I am not fasting right now. But I am looking forward to start fasting soon. In your book I took notice of how people with eating disorders, specifically anorexia, shouldn't be fasting and this makes a lot sense. But what about people who have bulimia and binge eating disorder? Should they also steer clear of fasting? Are there any physical or hormonal benefits to be gained for someone like this to start fasting or will this simply perpetuate the binging behavior. Thanks for this podcast and for your amazing work! Teresa JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS 3. Is Diurnal Fasting with no food or beverages during daylight hours a viable option for fasting? Can you guys talk about the health effects of what is known as Diurnal Fasting where you engage in complete abstinence from food and beverages during daylight hours? Is this a good way to fast and are there any potential downfalls to doing it this way as compared to what you teach in the IDM clinic? Thank you, Catherine 4. How will I know when I am fat-adapted enough to push my fasting periods beyond intermittent fasting? I have been doing some form of LCHF/keto since August 2016 and have lost 30 pounds. I've been following the mantra to only eat when I’m hungry which is how I started unintentionally intermittent fasting. Most days I end up doing 18:6 but just can't get past 20 hours. I hear people say to get fully fat-adapted before trying longer fasting, so how will I know when I am there?

I've wanted to do this interview for a long, long time.Atul Gawande is a surgeon at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He's a professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Harvard School of Public Health. He is executive director of Ariadne Labs, a joint center for health systems innovation, and chairman of Lifebox, a nonprofit organization making surgery safer globally. He's a New Yorker writer. He's the author of some of my favorite books, including Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance and The Checklist Manifesto. He's a MacArthur Genius. Atul Gawande makes me feel like a slow, boring, unproductive person. What makes it worse is that he's a helluva nice guy, too. And he knows more new music than I do. There haven't been many conversations on this podcast I've looked forward to more, or enjoyed as much. Among many other things, we talked about:- How Atul makes time to do all of the writing, large-scale research, and surgery he does- His time working in Congress and in the White House- His writing process and how it’s evolved since his early days writing for Slate- Why he hates writing and likes being edited (and why I am the exact opposite)- His thoughts on ignorance, ineptitude, why we fail at things, and what hand washing has to do with it- How effective Medicaid coverage is in improving health outcomes- The ways we need to more effectively deliver existing knowledge and technology rather than always focusing on the next big discovery- What he thinks we’ve learned so far from Obamacare- How Rivers Cuomo from Weezer has applied lessons from Atul’s writing to his music- His work with the Clintons, Jim Cooper, and Al Gore and thoughts on their private versus public personas- How all the different parts of his life — the writing, the surgery, the policy work — come together into one single engine for actually making change- What new albums he thinks everyone should listen toAnd so much more. Talking to Atul was a real pleasure. I hope you enjoy it too. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
