En Haïti, Laurent Saint-Cyr prend la tête du Conseil présidentiel de transition ce mercredi (6 août 2025). Comme prévu, lors de sa création en avril 2024, la présidence du CPT change tous les cinq mois. Il succède, donc, à Fritz Alphonse Jean et va devoir tenter de convaincre des Haïtiens désabusés, notamment face à la dégradation de la situation sécuritaire. «Le CPT est passé totalement à côté de sa mission. C'est un échec», estime ainsi Sephora, étudiante haïtienne interrogée par le correspondant de RFI à Port-au-Prince, Peterson Luxama. Pour Frantz Duval, rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste, Laurent Saint-Cyr et le Premier ministre Alix Didier Fils-Aimé «peuvent aussi bien sauver la transition que l'enfoncer». Provoquer un naufrage en règle ou tenter une césarienne in extremis. «C'est un peu la présidence tournante de la dernière chance», explique notre confrère haïtien qui rappelle que le CPT est censé remettre le pouvoir à des élus, le 7 février 2026. Les dirigeants haïtiens ont donc beaucoup à faire. «Or, pour l'instant, ils n'ont pas fait grand chose», souligne Frantz Duval. «Il faut remettre l'efficacité au service de la population, mettre l'intérêt du pays au premier plan et aussi remettre un peu de moralité dans tout cela», estime le journaliste. «Les membres du CPT ont été nommés mais n'ont pas été élus. Ils ont accaparé les fonctions et les privilèges, sans jamais assumer les responsabilités», juge-t-il. «Ils ne s'entendent sur absolument rien de ce qui est important», constate encore Frantz Duval. En Bolivie, le lithium, enjeu de la présidentielle En Bolivie, l'élection présidentielle aura lieu le 17 août 2025. Un dossier pourrait peser sur le résultat du scrutin : le cas du lithium. Le pays possède les plus importantes ressources mondiales de ce métal indispensable à la fabrication de batteries, mais il peine à industrialiser le secteur. Deux entreprises, une russe et une chinoise, prévoient de venir extraire du lithium, mais les communautés locales s'inquiètent du peu de transparence autour de ce projet, et des potentielles conséquences de l'extraction sur leurs ressources en eau. Reportage de Nils Sabin. Le Washington Post dévoile une partie du contenu du rapport américain sur les droits humains Le Washington Post a eu accès à certaines parties de la version quasi-définitive du très attendu Rapport annuel sur les droits humains dans le monde rédigé par le département d'État américain. Exit les accusations de mauvais traitements envers les prisonniers, de discrimination à l'encontre de personnes LGBTQ+ ou de corruption dans les chapitres consacrés au Salvador, à Israël et à la Russie que le Washington Post a pu lire. Il reste bien quelques mentions d'abus perpétrés par le gouvernement mais ils ont été atténués, précise encore le journal. Du coup, ces parties sont beaucoup plus courtes que sous Joe Biden et bien différentes aussi, voire en contradiction flagrante. Par exemple, au sujet du Salvador, on peut lire que les États-Unis n'ont reçu «aucun rapport crédible de violations significatives des droits humains» en 2024, que la violence carcérale a considérablement diminué dans le pays et que les assassinats supposés font l'objet d'enquêtes de la part du gouvernement, alors qu'en 2023, l'administration Biden dénonçait des meurtres, des cas de tortures et des conditions de détention (...) potentiellement mortelles. Il faut dire, précise le Washington Post, que le Salvador a accepté d'incarcérer des migrants renvoyés des États-Unis. Du côté du département d'État, on explique que le rapport 2024 «a été restructuré (...) afin de le rendre plus lisible». Il se concentre sur les «questions fondamentales», ajoute cette source anonyme, comme par exemple, le recul de la liberté d'expression. L'administration Trump «ne s'intéresse qu'aux droits humains de certaines personnes... dans certains pays, quand ça l'arrange», se désole dans les colonnes du journal Keifer Buckingham, ancien employé du département d'État. Plus généralement, c'est toute la conception de la démocratie que le président américain remet en cause, analyse le quotidien qui raconte qu'en juillet 2025, Marco Rubio a envoyé des instructions aux diplomates américains. Ils ne doivent plus commenter les résultats des élections qui ont lieu dans d'autres pays. Interdiction même dire que le scrutin a été juste et équitable. Motus et bouche cousue «à moins que ce ne soit dans l'intérêt de la politique étrangère américaine de le faire.» Les cartels mexicains accroissent leur présence à l'étranger Grâce aux travaux du chercheur Víctor Manuel Sánchez Valdés, on apprend que le Cartel de Sinaloa est présent dans 96 pays quand son rival, le Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación n'est, lui implanté que dans 61 États. Ces groupes «reçoivent de la cocaïne d'organisations colombiennes, achètent des armes aux États-Unis, fabriquent des drogues synthétiques avec des précurseurs chimiques venus de Chine et blanchissent leurs bénéfices grâce aux systèmes financiers des Émirats arabes unis», résume El Universal. Si ces cartels étendent leur emprise sur toujours plus de pays, c'est tout simplement pour gagner plus d'argent. Ils privilégient les pays où aucune organisation ne répond à la demande locale, et ceux qui leur sont utiles soit parce qu'ils peuvent s'y fournir en produits chimiques, soit parce que le pays est un point de passage essentiel pour le trafic de drogue, explique Victor Manuel Sanchez Valdes. Selon lui, la seule solution pour démembrer ces réseaux, c'est que les autorités des pays concernés travaillent ensemble. Adidas accusé d'appropriation culturelle Les sandales Oaxaca Slip-on d'Adidas seraient une copie des huaraches, les sandales traditionnelles portées par la communauté zapotèque du village Villa Hidalgo Yalalag. Or, cette population autochtone n'a été ni consultée, ni associée à ce projet, rapporte le journal Proceso. Les autorités mexicaines rappellent que c'est illégal. Il existe au Mexique une loi de protection du patrimoine culturel des peuples et des communautés indigènes et afromexicaines. Selon El Universal, elles demandent à Adidas de cesser de vendre les Oaxaca Slip-on et menacent de saisir la justice. Ce n'est pas la première fois que la culture de la région de Oaxaca est ainsi pillée, rappelle Proceso qui cite Zara, Isabel Marant ou bien encore Levis. Le journal de la 1ère Benoît Ferrand nous parle d'un projet afin de construire un mémorial caribéen des catastrophes naturelles.

In this episode of The Spine Pod, co-hosts Courtney Schutze and Brady Riesgraf head to Shreveport, Louisiana to sit down—scrubbed in and ready—with one of the true leaders in modern spine care, Dr. Pierce Nunley. Founder of the Spine Institute of Louisiana, Dr. Nunley brings decades of surgical experience, a passion for research, and a hands-on approach to patient care that's shaping the future of the field. In this episode, we step inside the operating room to talk about what it means to build a comprehensive, research-driven, spine practice. From his early days fixing motorcycles on a farm to leading national clinical trials, Dr. Nunley shares the mentors and experiences that shaped his commitment to patient-first care, education, and innovation. Dr. Nunley goes on to discuss the creation of the Spine Center of Excellence, a dedicated spine-only ambulatory surgery center focused on safety, efficiency, and patient care. He shares insight into his leadership of multiple clinical trials, including recent studies on MOTUS, a lumbar total joint replacement under IDE investigation, and PerQdisc, a nucleus replacement - with both implants focused on the primary goal of restoring function to spine patients while preserving motion. Throughout the episode, Dr. Nunley emphasizes the importance of real-world data, the responsibility of training future surgeons, and the value of applying experience with humility when evaluating new technologies. His leadership in research, education, and clinical care continues to influence the direction of spine surgery across the country and provides new and improved treatments for patients struggling with chronic neck, leg and/or back pain. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the Spine Center of Excellence was built as a spine-exclusive ambulatory surgery center—and what that means for patient outcomes. How Dr. Nunley is helping shape the future of spine surgery through clinical research and motion-preserving innovation. Why PerQdisc (a spine disc nucleus replacement), Synergy & Baguera (cervical disc replacements), and non-instrumented implants are generating excitement and what makes them different from currently available technologies. The early promise and current progress of MOTUS, the first lumbar total joint replacement under US clinical trials. How integrity, data collection, and a lifelong curiosity drive better care—and why first surgeries matter most for long-term outcomes. As a surgeon, researcher, and mentor, Dr. Nunley has built a model for what it means to advance spine care thoughtfully. From running a world-class clinical practice to engaging in nearly 40 clinical research studies as a principal investigator, his voice is a trusted one across the industry. This episode of The Spine Pod is a must-listen for anyone invested in the future of spine surgery.

À l'heure où j'écris ces lignes, des défilés de néonazis escortés par la police viennent de prendre place dans la capitale, au lendemain des célébrations du 8 mai et de la victoire contre l'Allemagne nazie. Dans les rues de Paris, les fascistes criaient « Europe, jeunesse, révolution ». Une révolution de la jeunesse, nous aussi, dans notre camp politique, on pourrait le revendiquer. Ça ne voudrait pas dire les mêmes choses, mais les mots pourraient déraper. Les remparts qu'on croit inébranlables, ceux qui nous séparent du « pire » (qu'on met entre guillemets parce qu'en vrai on ne sait pas trop ce qu'il veut dire) pourraient en fait céder sans qu'on s'en aperçoivent. Peut-être même que l'écologie elle-même pourrait être utilisée pour les fissurer, les mettre à bas, et achever de convaincre ceux d'entre nous qui se sont laissés ramollir, et dont la solidité nous manquera terriblement dans les années à venir. C'est de ça, finalement, que l'on va parler dans ce nouvel épisode d'Oïkos. De ces frontières poreuses, entre l'acceptable et l'inacceptable, de ces moments où l'on arrête de penser et l'on glisse, ou que l'on refuse de penser et que l'on bascule. Pour ce faire je reçois aujourd'hui au micro Antoine Dubiau, doctorat en géographie, et auteur du livre « Ecofascismes » aux éditions Grévis, paru en 2022. 2022, de là où on est ça fait un peu loin. Et avec Antoine, on s'est ratés à plusieurs reprises, mais maintenant qu'on est là, en 2025, avec tant de choses qui ont changé et un ordre mondial qui semble recomposé de carbofascistes et autres mots un peu barbares qui se multiplient pour décrire nos réalités indicibles, on va pouvoir revenir en arrière et analyser tout ça avec un peu de recul. Merci à Antoine pour ses patientes explications et son travail de pédagogie, j'espère que ça vous nourrira pour continuer à garder les cerveaux et les corps allumés face à cet avenir qui sent pas bon.

Ep 17 Founder Series Pt 2: A 20-Year Journey to Make Motion Preservation the New Standard in Spine, Scott Hodges, DO In Part 2 of our Founder Series, co-hosts Courtney Schutze and Brady Riesgraf sit down with fellowship-trained, orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. Scott Hodges. Well known by several titles, including Medical Director at 3Spine, co-inventor of MOTUS, and leading advocate for motion preservation in spine surgery, Dr. Hodges shares his behind-the-scenes journey to bringing motion preservation to the forefront of spine care. His enthralling story includes the more than 20-year process of bringing a novel spine implant to market- from initial sketch drawings and early prototypes to clinical trials in South Africa and the U.S. Dr. Hodges' journey began at Southern Adventist University in his current hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee, followed by medical school at Kansas City University, residency at Ohio University, and his fellowship in spine surgery at Loyola University Chicago School of Medicine. He went on to build a thriving surgical practice in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and it was here that the idea to improve upon the current standard of care for spine patients was formed and flourished. Dissatisfied with the available technologies and long-term patient outcomes in spine, Dr. Hodges dedicated his career to creating a solution. With an aim for creating a better treatment for spine surgery patients, Dr. Hodges partnered with Dr. Craig Humphreys to co-develop MOTUS, the first total joint replacement for the lumbar spine. Their goal was to create an implant that restored function in the lumbar spine and the entire kinetic chain, without sacrificing the body's natural motion. With this new endeavor, Dr. Hodges shifted his focus entirely to bringing these solutions to patients, navigating the complex world of medical device development, and leading surgeon education for this novel approach to spine care. In this episode, you'll learn: The road to innovation: What it takes to develop, refine, and clinically validate a motion-preserving device. What's next for spine surgery: How motion preservation, total joint replacement, facet replacements, and endoscopic techniques are shaping the future of spine care for patients struggling with chronic leg and/or back pain. The origins of MOTUS: How a simple concept became the first lumbar total joint replacement. Patient demand as a driver of care: How patient demand is driving new technologies to the forefront of surgical care. The importance of the kinetic chain: Why motion in all areas of the body is important and how the different joints in the body - knees, hips, ankles, and spine - work together to allow the body to properly function. Why training & education matter: How surgeon training and patient education play a pivotal role in the adoption and access of new technologies for spine care. This episode, recorded between the 3Spine headquarters in Chattanooga, TN and the world-renowned MERI Lab in Memphis, takes you inside the decades-long journey of bringing a new spine device to market, from the first clinical cases in South Africa to FDA trials in the U.S. As a pioneer, innovator, teacher, and leader, Dr. Hodges shares his compelling story of how data, surgeon training, and patient demand for motion preserving devices are driving the future of spine surgery. This episode is a must-watch for spine surgeons, medical innovators, and anyone interested in the future of spine surgery and the journey of bringing a new device to the market. Missed Part 1?

Ep 16 Founder Series Pt 1: A Lifetime of Spine Surgery, Motion Advocacy & Giving Back, Craig Humphreys, MD In this first episode of our two-part Founder Series, co-hosts Courtney Schutze and Brady Riesgraf sit down with Dr. Craig Humphreys, a board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon, innovator, and pioneer in spine surgery, to discuss the evolution of motion preservation and the rewarding journey behind MOTUS—the first lumbar total joint replacement for the low back. From his early career in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to building a transformative spine practice in Soldotna, Alaska, Dr. Humphreys shares the journey of how he co-developed MOTUS (formerly the Kenai Device) with Dr. Scott Hodges. Their story began as a mission to offer patients a motion-preserving alternative to spinal fusion and culminated in the creation of a novel device aimed at restoring natural balance, maintaining motion, and preserving adjacent spinal levels. For this episode, we had the opportunity to travel to Soldotna, Alaska and sit down with Dr. Humphreys in his home, situated on the Kenai River—the very place that inspired the original Kenai implant (now known as MOTUS). During our visit, Dr. Humphreys shares how a 3 a.m. epiphany and a hand-drawn sketch led to a breakthrough medical device, his struggles and triumphs in navigating the medical device industry, and why he believes motion preservation is the future of spine surgery. Although Dr. Humphreys is native to Alaska, he started his medical education journey in the Midwest - graduating from the University of Notre Dame, receiving his medical degree at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, and completing his spine fellowship at The Medical College of Wisconsin. With over 25 years of experience, he has treated thousands of patients, contributed to major clinical advancements, and played a pivotal role in bringing motion preservation to the forefront of spine surgery. He has been instrumental in shaping the future of motion-preserving spine surgery, advocating for better long-term patient outcomes, and partaking in groundbreaking clinical trials. In this episode, you'll learn: The reality of developing a medical device: Why bringing new technology to market takes decades. The evolution of spine care: Why the shift to motion preservation matters and is gaining momentum. The origins of MOTUS - the first lumbar total joint replacement: How a simple idea turned into a breakthrough device.

Un problème embarrassant ? Un sujet de discussion qui fâche ? Des personnalités qui dérangent ? La solution, radicale : contourner l'obstacle en censurant, en muselant ou encore en excluant. L'actualité politique sur le continent nous offre quelques exemples récents… À commencer par le Niger où neuf proches du président déchu Mohammed Bazoum ont été déchus vendredi dernier de leur nationalité. L'information barre la Une du site Actu Niger : « déchéance provisoire de la nationalité : Rhissa Ag Boula, (ancien ministre et ex-figure des rébellions touarègues), et huit autres proches du Président déchu Mohamed Bazoum sanctionnés pour atteinte à la sécurité nationale. (…) Ces mesures interviennent dans un contexte où le gouvernement intensifie ses efforts pour protéger les intérêts stratégiques du pays et maintenir l'ordre public ». Pas d'autres commentaires…Le site L'Evénement Niger, pour sa part, se permet de rappeler l'article 15 de la Déclaration universelle des droits de l'homme de 1948 qui stipule que : « tout individu a droit à une nationalité. Nul ne peut être arbitrairement privé de sa nationalité, ni du droit de changer de nationalité ».En effet, précise Afrik.com, « des organisations de défense des droits de l'Homme ont rapidement dénoncé la mesure. Elles la qualifient de violation des engagements internationaux du Niger. Moussa Tchangari, secrétaire général d'Alternative Espaces Citoyens, juge cette décision “très grave“. Elle contrevient, selon lui, à la Déclaration universelle des droits de l'Homme, qui interdit de rendre une personne apatride ».Mais « pour de nombreux observateurs, poursuit Afrik.com, cette décision dépasse le cadre juridique. Elle vise avant tout à affaiblir l'opposition. Cela envoie un message fort aux dissidents. Cette stratégie est déjà utilisée par d'autres régimes militaires dans la région, comme au Mali et au Burkina Faso. »Guinée : les ministres à la maison…En Guinée, à présent, les ministres n'ont plus le droit de voyager à l'étranger jusqu'à la fin de cette année… Officiellement, il s'agit de faire des économies : « le porte-parole du gouvernement, Ousmane Gaoual Diallo, a justifié cette décision par la “nécessité de rationaliser les dépenses publiques“ », relève Le Monde Afrique. Une mesure diversement appréciée… Pour le coordinateur national de la Maison des associations et ONG de Guinée, Mamadou Saliou Barry, cité par Guinée 360 : « bien que cette décision semble refléter une volonté d'accroître la transparence dans la gestion publique, je crains qu'elle n'entrave les relations internationales et l'efficacité de la diplomatie guinéenne. Une telle mesure pourrait être le signe de tensions internes au sein du gouvernement, poursuit-il, ou d'une perte de confiance dans la capacité des ministres à représenter efficacement l'État à l'étranger ».Le Forum des Forces Sociales de Guinée affirme pour sa part dans Guinée News que « cette situation met en lumière une gestion irrationnelle et abusive des deniers publics, alors que le pays fait face à des défis économiques et sociaux sans précédent ».Enfin, rapporte Ledjely, l'un des principaux partis d'opposition, l'UFDG se félicite de cette décision qui « limitera les dépenses inutiles » et espère également « que cette mesure, qui doit cesser le 31 décembre, marquera la fin de la transition en Guinée et que des élections seront enfin organisées ».L'état de santé de Paul Biya ? Motus !Et puis autre interdiction, cette fois au Cameroun : défense de parler de l'état de santé du président Biya…« Après avoir vigoureusement démenti des rumeurs alarmantes sur l'état de Paul Biya, les autorités du Cameroun ont “formellement interdit“ aux médias d'évoquer sa santé », rapporte Le Monde Afrique.« Taisez-vous, y'a rien à dire », commente L'Observateur Paalga à Ouagadougou qui s'interroge « qu'arriverait-il si le président camerounais (91 ans) n'était plus en mesure d'assurer ses fonctions alors que son dauphin constitutionnel (le président du Sénat, Marcel Niat Njifenji, bientôt 90 ans) est lui aussi quelque peu impotent ? »Pour Le Pays, toujours au Burkina, « cette décision, contrairement à l'effet recherché, prouve que le président Paul Biya ne se porte pas bien. Malade ? Non, de source officielle. Mais malade du pouvoir ? Oui, certainement ».Enfin WakatSéra s'interroge : « comment éviter de spéculer, quand un flou opaque, artistiquement entretenu, entoure la santé de celui qui dirige son peuple depuis Mathusalem ? Comment, sans argument palpable, parler objectivement de la santé du plus vieux dirigeant élu en exercice au monde ? »
Every time your employees get behind the wheel for work—whether in their own car or a company vehicle—your business is exposed to risk. With vehicle insurance rates surging 22% year-over-year and 1 in 7 drivers now opting to forego insurance entirely, the stakes for companies have never been higher. Many employees who do have insurance are turning to low-cost policies that leave them dangerously underinsured, and in the event of an accident, their employer could be left footing the bill—an average of $75,000 for non-fatal incidents.Are your drivers among those at risk? And more importantly, would you even know if they were?In this episode of SAP Concur Conversations, join host Jeanne Dion and Jonathan Steele, Director of Product Management at Motus, as they explore the hidden dangers of driver risk. They'll discuss real-life stories where businesses learned the hard way about the cost of overlooking compliance, driver safety, and insurance verification. Jonathan will also share actionable strategies that can help you get ahead of these risks, from building a seamless mileage reimbursement program to deploying proactive monitoring tools that protect both your employees and your bottom line.

Ep. 10 Motion Preservation First: A Spine Surgeon's Journey to a Fusion-Free Practice, J. Alex Sielatycki, MD In this episode of The Spine Pod, hosts Courtney Schutze and Brady Riesgraf sit down with Dr. Alex Sielatycki, an orthopedic spine surgeon dedicating his career to revolutionizing spine surgery through motion preservation. Operating out of Steamboat Springs, CO at the Steamboat Orthopedic & Spine Institute (SOSI), Dr. Sielatycki is at the forefront of a significant shift in spine care—one that prioritizes preserving mobility and improving patient outcomes. Dr. Sielatycki continually proves his commitment to research through clinical trials, including being a primary investigator in multiple recent trials and also offers multiple FDA-cleared, currently available motion preserving devices, including Medtronic's Prestige LP cervical disc and Centinel Spine's prodisc C and prodisc L for cervical and lumbar pathologies. In this episode, Dr. Sielatycki delves into the innovative technologies in spine motion preservation, including 3Spine's MOTUS lumbar total joint replacement, currently in US clinical trials, explaining how it has the possibility to broaden the scope of motion-preserving options available to patients in search of treatment for leg and back pain. He goes on to discuss the potential of establishing motion surgery centers specifically for spine care patients, where all aspects of care are designed to maintain patient mobility. This concept arose out of increasing demand that Dr. Sielatycki recognized from his patients seeking alternatives to spinal fusion. In this episode you'll learn: How motion-preserving alternatives are providing the opportunity to shift the treatment timeline for patients needing spine surgery. The importance of providing patients with new technologies through novel clinical trials. How patient demand is influencing surgeons' desires for new and alternative spine surgery implants. Patients increased willingness to travel for improved spine surgery treatment options. The possibility for patients to return to work and regular activity earlier through motion-preserving devices. The growing number of surgeons looking to create spine surgery practices focused exclusively on motion-preserving alternatives. As a father, husband, surgeon, and leader across the spine industry, Dr. Sielatycki is paving the way for the next generation of spine surgeons, focused on providing motion surgery treatment options for all patients he treats. Building upon the practice founded by his mentor, Dr. Clint Devin, and serving eight different cities across Colorado and Wyoming, Dr. Sielatycki continues to drive forward the field of motion preservation - committed to providing the highest level of care for spine patients across the mountain region and the greater United States. For patients, surgeons, and industry professionals, this episode provides insight into the future of spine surgery, where patient-centered innovation leads the way.
