Une rencontre secrète a eu lieu, lundi 11 août, en Suisse, à Zurich, entre le chef de l'armée soudanaise, le général Abdel Fattah al-Burhan et l'émissaire américain pour l'Afrique, Massad Boulos. La rencontre a duré trois heures selon le gouvernement soudanais. Elle portait sur le plan américain pour un cessez-le-feu global au Soudan ainsi que sur l'acheminement d'une aide humanitaire, particulièrement vers el-Fasher, la capitale du Darfour nord assiégée par les paramilitaires des Forces de soutien rapide. Le chercheur Roland Marchal revient sur la position de la diplomatie américaine et sur ces nouveaux efforts pour tenter de négocier une sortie à la crise soudanaise. RFI : Qu'est-ce qu'on sait de ce plan pour un cessez-le-feu global qui aurait donc été proposé par les États-Unis lors de cette rencontre ? D'abord, les discussions ont eu lieu avec une seule des deux parties en l'occurrence avec le général al-Burhan, qui est le chef de l'armée soudanaise. On ne sait pas si d'autres discussions ont lieu parallèlement ou vont avoir lieu avec les Forces de soutien rapide commandées par le général Hemedti. Ce qu'on pense savoir, c'est que la diplomatie américaine s'efforce de faciliter l'accès humanitaire et qu'il y a à faire des deux côtés. C'est-à-dire que l'accès humanitaire est freiné tant du côté des RSF que du côté de l'armée soudanaise. Et donc il faut lever toute une série d'obstacles pseudo bureaucratiques pour permettre à l'aide d'arriver là où elle doit arriver. Le deuxième problème, c'est évidemment quel type de cessez-le-feu et de relance politique peut avoir lieu. Les renseignements qu'on a aujourd'hui sur la réunion ne permettent pas d'éclairer ça très bien. On sait que le général al-Burhan va sans doute défendre une exclusion totale des FSR et sans doute le jugement d'Hemedti et de tous ceux qui lui ont été le plus proche. Mais il est sûr que dans des discussions confidentielles, le général al-Burhan peut dessiner une voie qui n'a pas encore été empruntée jusqu'à présent. Et pourquoi a-t-il accepté cette fois-ci de rencontrer les Américains ? Est-ce que ça s'explique notamment par les avancées du coup des forces soudanaises sur le terrain ? Oui et non. Oui, évidemment, le gouvernement soudanais n'est plus dans la position de faiblesse dans laquelle il était il y a un an. Mais d'un autre côté aussi, il y a des critiques de plus en plus fortes qui sont exprimées vis-à-vis du général al-Burhan. Il y a des sanctions parce qu'apparemment, des armes chimiques auraient été utilisées par l'armée soudanaise contre les populations. Et puis d'autre part aussi parce que, au moins d'un point de vue militaire, on est tout à fait conscient que d'un côté comme de l'autre, il y a une escalade dans la technologie qui est utilisée et qu'il va falloir autre chose que simplement une supériorité militaire pour régler ce conflit. Et puis aussi, il y a une inquiétude, peut-être que le général al-Burhan a peut être une inquiétude vis-à-vis de ses propres troupes, le fait que le contrôle des milices est quand même difficile, et donc c'est peut-être aussi un bon moment pour lui d'essayer de marquer des points diplomatiquement en soulignant combien les preuves contre les Forces de soutien rapide sont multiples concernant l'assassinat de civils, des massacres de masse, etc. Mais est-ce qu'il n'y a pas des contreparties qui pourraient être demandées au général al-Burhan, comme par exemple son départ ou la mise en place d'un gouvernement civil ? On ne sait pas réellement quelle est l'expertise dont se prévaut l'envoyé américain Massad Boulos. Donc on ne sait pas si ce sont des discussions à haut vol, sans entrer dans des détails, ou si l'envoyé spécial américain a une vision extrêmement précise des forces en présence, se souvient qu'il y a des forces civiles qui se sont opposées à Omar el-Béchir en 2019, et également des forces civiles qui aspirent à gouverner, qui aspirent à un changement. Donc, la question est de savoir si les Américains vont se contenter finalement d'une négociation avec les deux parties armées, ou est-ce qu'ils iront beaucoup plus loin. Sur un véritable régime civil de transition qui inclura ou n'inclura pas des personnalités proches des deux parties combattantes aujourd'hui. Est-ce qu'avec ces discussions, on peut espérer que l'aide humanitaire circule mieux au Soudan et plus particulièrement vers El Fasher, la capitale du Darfour-Nord ? Du côté du gouvernement soudanais, les choses sont à la fois plus simples puisqu'il y a une autorité, il y a une chaîne de commandement et plus compliqué parce qu'il y a la chaîne de commandement de l'armée, mais il y a aussi beaucoup de milices qui sont sur les routes, qui ont leur propre check-point. C'est un véritable chemin kafkaïen pour obtenir toutes les autorisations pour les Nations unies de quitter Port-Soudan, où l'aide humanitaire arrive pour l'envoyer dans des lieux qui sont, il faut le rappeler, pour certains, contrôlés par le gouvernement, puis pour d'autres endroits qui sont plus sympathisantes des Forces de soutien rapide, et dans ce cas-là, il y a des oppositions très fortes qui se manifestent. L'envoyé spécial américain peut trouver des moyens et des arguments pour convaincre le général al-Burhan d'agir de façon un peu plus déterminée, de faire respecter la chaîne de commandement, puisqu'il prétend être le gouvernement. Ce sera sans doute beaucoup plus compliqué du point de vue des Forces de soutien rapide, dans la mesure où, s'il y a l'image d'un commandement central, il y a quand même une très grande faiblesse de la chaîne de commandement, ce qui fait que les milices sur le terrain peuvent établir des check-points et n'en ont rien à faire des papiers, fussent-ils signés par Hemedti ou son frère.

And has a range of brands that she recommends and curates for individual needs.Rachel also advocates for occasional breaks from deodorant use, especially for breast cancer survivors.Her daily rituals for her personal wellness and recovery are morning prayers, co-sleeping with her youngest child, intermittend fasting and a plant-basesd diet. And she is avid in her workout routine on 6 times per week.For her business she is planning on expanding into her own studio space to receive clients in person.

Classroom Coverup: Lap-Sitting Horror Unleashed - NJ Teacher's Chilling Shuffle Revealed! Brace for a nightmare in New Jersey's classrooms that will have you questioning every teacher hiring decision! We uncover the case of Jason Fennes, a former elementary school teacher from Bloomfield accused in 2010 at Montville Township Public Schools of inappropriate touching and lap-sitting with young girls aged 6-8, behaviors that made them feel uncomfortable and violated during story time or class activities. Multiple female students reported him touching their buttocks, thighs, and private areas under the guise of "helping," hugging them tightly, and isolating them in the classroom, with at least four families raising alarms to administrators. The district placed him on leave and investigated, but the probe concluded without substantiating criminal abuse, citing a lack of "corroborating evidence" beyond the children's statements—a common hurdle in child abuse cases where physical proof is rare. Instead of reporting the suspicions to the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCPP) or local police as mandated by New Jersey law for reasonable cause, the district opted for a confidential settlement in June 2010. Fennes resigned under an agreement that severely limited what Montville could disclose to future employers—only basic employment details like dates and title, with no mention of the allegations or investigation. This "hush contract" included a neutral reference letter, effectively erasing the red flags and allowing him to seek new positions without hindrance. Such deals are a hallmark of "passing the trash," designed to avoid defamation lawsuits or negative publicity, often negotiated with input from teachers' unions like the New Jersey Education Association to protect members' careers. This decision wasn't unique; a 2017 NJ.com investigation revealed dozens of similar cases across New Jersey, where districts chose quiet exits over transparency, influenced by fears of costly litigation and reputational harm in suburban communities like Montville, known for strong family ties and high property values tied to school quality. Fennes walked away with his teaching certificate intact, free to apply elsewhere. Just two months later, in August 2010, he was hired at Cedar Hill Prep School, a private K-8 academy in Somerset with about 200 students, known for its small classes and nurturing environment. The school's founder conducted what they called a thorough vetting, but the background check came up spotless—Montville's silence ensured no warnings surfaced. At Cedar Hill, the abuse not only continued but escalated in severity and scope. Over the next three years, he molested at least four young girls in his classroom, repeating and intensifying the patterns from Montville: Lap-sitting during reading sessions, inappropriate touching under desks or during "help" with art projects, and isolating victims by keeping them after class. Court records from his pleas detailed graphic incidents—one victim, a 7-year-old referred to as Child M in legal filings, alleged Fennes sexually assaulted her in February 2011 by touching her genitals under her clothing while she sat on his lap, pretending to read a book. Another girl reported him rubbing her thighs and whispering "you're special," creating a sense of secrecy. But Fennes' crimes extended beyond the classroom; as a basketball coach, he groomed a 15-year-old player with extra practice sessions, flirty messages, and emotional manipulation, building what she later described as a "relationship" that felt coercive. Between 2011 and 2013, he had sex with her multiple times, often in his car or secluded spots. The crimes came to light in 2013 when one Montville victim disclosed to a therapist, triggering investigations leading to his 2016 guilty pleas and 14-year sentence. Victims' stories reveal profound trauma—PTSD, anxiety from "weird touches." Suits like Child M v. Fennes led to Zurich denials, Supreme Court decline in 2020. Inspired 2018 S-414 banning "trash passing." Stats: NJ had 187 educator cases 2010-2017. Ties: Like Ostovich's shuffle (Episode 8). Fallout: Settlements undisclosed, protests. On X, calls for national laws.

Ethereal Encounters Unveiled welcomes Michael Horn August 7th, 2025 Topic: The Billy Meier Prophecies & the Future of America About Michael Horn:Michael Horn has 44 years of experience as a science researcher and began his study and research into the UFO contacts of Billy Meier in 1979. In 1986, Michael found previously unknown warnings, originally published by Billy Meier beginning in 1951, about unnatural manmade climate change, global warming, the increased frequency and intensity of storms, blizzards, tsunamis, and the coming climate destruction. Michael also found that Mr. Meier was the first person to warn about the damage to the ozone layer from A-bomb explosions and about the connection between the extraction of petroleum and earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, all of which were subsequently scientifically corroborated. “Billy” Eduard Albert Meier was born on February 3, 1937, in Bülach/Zurich, Switzerland. NOTE: In addition to being the only scientifically proven UFO contactee, Billy Meier is the source of the most abundant, specific, prophetically accurate scientific and world event-related information. There are now well over 200 prophecies and predictions from Meier that have been corroborated. You can read more about Michael on his website at theyflyblog.com. https://theyflyblog.com/

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.theflyingfrisby.comThe UK Financial Conduct Authority has announced that it is loosening its anti-bitcoin stance. From October 8th retail UK investors will now be able to buy bitcoin ETFs.Finally.The ban came in with bitcoin at $5,000. Today it's $115,000. That's $110,000/coin UK investors have been protected from. Great job guys. Where will it be on October 8th? Who knows.Does this announcement mark the top of the market for bitcoin? There would be a poetic irony if it did, but it won't. Bitcoin is so much bigger than the FCA.At present, it does not even look like a case of buy the rumour, sell the news. Bitcoin has actually sold off a few percent since the announcement.But this change in tack is going to have a huge impact. It's about a lot more than British retail investors. It's global.It's going to have an impact on the bitcoin treasury companies around the world, and it's going to have an impact on the bitcoin price itself.Here's why.We'll start with the announcement itself from David Geale, executive director of payments and digital finance at the FCA:'Since we restricted retail access to cETNs, the market has evolved, and products have become more mainstream and better understood. In light of this, we're providing consumers with more choice, while ensuring there are protections in place. This should mean people get the information they need to assess whether the level of risk is right for them.'Blah blah, waffle waffle. Absolutely no ownership of the FCA's calamitous regulation whatsoever. Fortunes have been lost to British investors because of the FCA. How is it these bodies are so totally unaccountable? Perhaps everyone who was involved in that decision should be made to compensate British investors for their loss of earnings."We're providing consumers with more choice,". Please. There's gaslighting for you right there.Moving on.NB Don't forget my brilliant book about bitcoin, if you want to learn more about the space.There is also my new book The Secret History of Gold, which comes out later this month. Amazon is currently offering a discount, so order yours now. Obviously, UK investors are now going to be able to buy bitcoin ETFs through their brokers, which means we can hold them in our SIPPs and ISAs. I gather there is roughly £3 trillion in UK pensions, £750 billion in ISAs, £500 billion in SIPPs and quite a bit more in other brokerage accounts. So that is a lot of capital that can now come into bitcoin which previously could not.But there is a lot more to it than that.The institutional floodgates are about to open. Former HSBC fund manager and ByteTree CEO, Charlie Morris, who knows this world as well as anyone, has this to say.The lifting of the ban by the UK regulator of bitcoin exchange traded products will have a far greater impact on the market than many believe. It's not just retail but institutions too. Many funds around the world are connected to London whether it be custodians, administrators, distribution, or trade execution. The ban meant that a single touchpoint with the UK would prevent allocation to bitcoin. From 8 October, this will no longer apply. Not only will U.K. retail investors boost demand for bitcoin ETPs, but a far bigger deal will be the opening up to institutions and funds around the world. It's a monumental moment for bitcoin which will become a global institutional asset over the next decade.(By the way you should subscribe to Charlie's newsletters. They're excellent. There are free and paid options. Here's the link).You saw my piece a few weeks ago about the global shadowbanning of bitcoin. London and the FCA had a huge role to play in that. One example: a banker I know in Zurich could not buy bitcoin products for one of his high net worth clients because of the ban. He was by no means alone. We have taken a step forward to the lifting of the shadowban, though not the final step by any means. As we noted, the funds buying bitcoin are still the 'pirates' rather than the big players, but this is still a move towards the legitimisation and normalisation of bitcoin.If bitcoin can get to something like 2% of portfolios worldwide, which it eventually will, well woof is all I can say.What about the treasury companies? What next for them?

In March, the volunteer moderators of the Change My View subreddit learned that researchers at the University of Zurich had been covertly conducting an experiment on their community members. By injecting AI-generated comments and posts into conversations, the researchers had wanted to measure the persuasiveness of AI. There was one big problem: They didn't tell community members that they were being experimented on. They didn't tell the community moderators. They didn't tell Reddit's corporate team. Only when they were getting ready to publish, did they disclose their actions. It then became clear that beyond the lack of consent, they had engaged in other questionable behavior: Their AI-written contributions had spanned multiple accounts, pretending to be a rape victim, a trauma counselor focusing on abuse, a Black man opposed to Black Lives Matter, and more. Community response was swift: Overwhelmingly, members were unhappy. The moderators insisted the research not be published. Reddit threatened legal action. Initially, the researchers were defiant but eventually, they apologized and pledged not to publish the research. Change My View volunteer moderator Logan MacGregor joins the show to discuss what went on behind the scenes, plus: The danger of publishing the research Reaction to the apology How AI is going to challenge the idea of trusting an online community Big Quotes Blame the manipulators, not the members and moderators (1:49): “Manipulation in online communities has existed forever. What's happening with [AI is] the believability, the speed at which people can do it. … The fault always rests with the person who chooses to manipulate the community. It's easy to fool people … and to do something that undermines the trust of something. It's harder to build trust.” -Patrick O'Keefe Why a promise not to publish was important (13:21): “From my perspective, I think the things that we wanted the most [from the researchers were] an apology and a promise not to publish. The second was really important because we were concerned that if this was published in a peer-review journal … if it was elevated to a prominent journal, that our community, which is supposed to be a protected human space, would now become just another sandbox for researchers. We felt very strongly that it should not be published. … Unfortunately, it didn't land well.” -Logan MacGregor When a community leader stands for their community, they often stand for all communities (14:52): “When one community person – a volunteer, a host, a person in this line of work – stands up for their community, they stand up for all communities.” -Patrick O'Keefe Just because bad comments exist online doesn't mean new ones won't cause harm (20:10): “So much of what [the researchers] did to try to prevent harm was to say ‘comments like this happen all the time online, we don't think that it's going to cause individual trauma.' We kind of dispute that because some of the comments are [you] pretending to be a trauma counselor and maybe that could actually cause some harm. … I don't think they thought enough about community impact until after the community screamed ‘ouch.'” -Logan MacGregor You can't just blame AI for this (22:52): “One thing that's really special about Change My View is that it's a human space; it's a decidedly human space. … The University of Zurich is a decidedly human space. What I think is so insidious about AI is it's caused people to behave in ways that I don't know we would have, without the stupid thinking machines. Because it's a toxic influence. Unlike the bots that are invading us daily, that we're constantly shutting down. … “That hurts a little bit more than just dealing with bots, because this wasn't just bots. These are people interacting with other people, and there was a human element there. The researchers are real people. I'm a real person. This happened between real people, and it wasn't just AI.” -Logan MacGregor How did the community respond when the experiment was disclosed? (24:47): “I would say there was this collective outrage [from the community]. … It was a unique and singular violation of the ethos of the sub, and it was especially palpable because there are a lot of researchers and research-affiliated people that are fond of the sub. It seemed like: We protect national parks, and we have national monuments – these protected spaces – and it almost felt on that level. Of all the places to do this, why Change My View?” -Logan MacGregor Researchers can help online communities in this moment, but not if they can't be trusted (34:13): “One of the things that I worry about when it comes to AI is it's probably going to chip away … at this idea of having protected online spaces, because if in-person conversations are the only way that you can validate that you're not talking to a robot, then this thing that we created called the internet, it's going to cease to have value at all. “That's the fear, and I have hope that we're going to be able to figure out a way to get past that challenge, but I'm scratching my head as to how we would do that. The true tragedy in this whole piece is that the very people that I think are best equipped to help us navigate that space are now distrusted because of this experiment. We need to heal that, and I don't know how that's going to happen.” -Logan MacGregor About Logan MacGregor Logan MacGregor is a member of the volunteer mod team on r/changemyview. Drawing from a unique blend of experience including social work, administration, program management, project management (including research-based projects), policy, strategic development, and emergency management, Logan is a credentialed Type 3 Planning Section Chief that is planning to complete the Master's program at the Center for Homeland Defense and Security, with a thesis likely focusing on information campaigns.

CEOs get a ton of credit or blame for a company's performance. But the entire leadership team is vital to success, and any dysfunction is often overlooked. Sometimes the CEOs leading them don't even see that they're not working. Thomas Keil, management professor at the University of Zurich, and Marianna Zangrillo, a partner at The Next Advisors, have interviewed more than 100 CEOs and senior executives. Their research identifies three main types of failing leadership teams: shark tanks, petting zoos, and mediocracies. And they identify the pitfalls of each pattern and how to turn those teams around. Keil and Zangrillo wrote the HBR article “Why Leadership Teams Fail.”

When we think about innovation in technology, power grids rarely enter the spotlight. Yet, they are the foundation for everything from artificial intelligence to electric vehicles and data centers. In this episode, I spoke with Adrian Guggisberg, President of the Smart Power Division at ABB, to unpack the evolving role of electrical power distribution in a world shifting rapidly toward digital infrastructure and clean energy. Adrian joined me from Zurich to share how ABB is helping grid operators navigate an increasingly complex landscape. With rising pressure from extreme weather, surging energy demand, and growing decentralization of power sources, the traditional grid model is being challenged on multiple fronts. We explored recent high-profile outages like the Heathrow disruption and the cascading blackouts in Spain and Portugal, and what these incidents reveal about systemic vulnerabilities. What stood out was Adrian's clear message that resilience is no longer optional. He walked me through how switchgear plays a vital role in controlling flow, isolating faults, and restoring power with precision. Rather than waiting for outages to happen, ABB is championing a smarter, decentralized approach that supports microgrids and localized decision-making. The transition to intelligent infrastructure requires investment, digital tools, and collaboration across public and private sectors. We also discussed the cultural and political shift required to truly modernize the grid. Adrian pointed out that while grid operators understand the urgency, public awareness and policymaker support will be key to driving progress. His optimism came through clearly, especially when he talked about ABB's purpose in powering a more sustainable future. If energy is the backbone of society, then conversations like this are the starting point for building something stronger. What would a smarter grid mean for the communities and industries you serve?

What's the difference between colonialism and imperialism? What types of colonialism can we identify — and which of them are playing out in Russia's invasion of Ukraine and other countries? This conversation is not purely academic. It helps us better understand what's happening today — and what might happen tomorrow. Russian colonial and imperial practices sometimes resemble those of other empires — but at other times, they differ significantly. Russia often masks its imperial violence with nationalist mythology. It's important to reveal why that mythology is misleading — and dangerous. *** Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, a Ukrainian philosopher, editor-in-chief of UkraineWorld, and president of PEN Ukraine. Our guest today is Botakoz Kassymbekova, a renowned scholar of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. She is currently Professor of Eastern European History at the University of Zurich and specializes in Soviet history, Stalinism and post-Stalinism, and Russian imperial practices. She holds a PhD from Humboldt University of Berlin. *** Explaining Ukraine is produced by UkraineWorld, an English-language media project about Ukraine, run by Internews Ukraine.

"I have had quite some reactions to the article [on their psychoanalyses]. I was also telling Mauro and my colleagues that out of quite a number of articles I've published on maybe more pressing issues in the field of cancer research, for example, brain tumor research that I've spent quite some time with, I think it's actually the article [on psychoanalysis] that probably prompted the most reactions, at least in my personal surroundings, and the reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. So colleagues are very interested. They often ask questions about psychoanalysis, quite specifically, how it works, how it contributed, and also complemented the article in the sense that it was something that was quite outside of the box, so outside of the typical surgical publication.” - FV   "How can we reach surgeons? How can we make this interesting and attractive for them to even consider? I think most surgeons will be very performance-driven people, and I think that it goes hand in hand that that type of person will seek ways to improve themselves, but probably more in a technical way. Let's say they want to get faster in their operations. They want to get more skillful. They want to do more complicated surgeries. So there's a lot about self improvement in that you exercise until you master something. And I think that analogy with sports was our way of saying, hey, you know, this is actually pretty cool. You can compare yourself to  professional athletes, in terms of self improvement, and this is actually one way you can get there, how you can improve. At the same time, it was also important for us to acknowledge that it's not for everyone so we also mentioned alternatives, of course." - MV   Episode Description: Mauro and Flavio begin by describing the encouragement they received from their father to pursue personal analysis "to explore our unconscious minds for a lighter life and less emotional baggage." They share their psychoanalytic journeys and give examples of how their greater capacity to reflect instead of react has led to improved surgical patient outcomes. They also describe collegial tensions that were more clearly addressed through their ability to authentically know how they felt. They recommend that like elite athletes who have sports psychologists to address obstacles to their performances, so might surgeons appreciate the utility of psychoanalysis and other measures to improve their clinical attunement. Mauro concludes "Everyone has their baggage - don't be afraid to look at it and to understand what's going on. It's worth it."   Our Guests: Flavio Vasella, MD PhD, is a junior attending neurosurgeon at the University Hospital Zurich, with a clinical and research focus on neurosurgical oncology. He earned his PhD in Molecular Life Sciences at the University of Zurich, where his research explored genome editing strategies in primary brain tumors. His primary academic interests include translational and clinical neuro-oncology as well as surgical education.   Mauro Vasella, MD, is a board-certified plastic surgeon with multiple years of clinical experience specializing in reconstructive surgery. He is affiliated with the University Hospital Zurich in Switzerland and the Royal Melbourne Hospital in Australia and has held positions as a fellow and attending surgeon. His practice and research field focuses on regenerative-reconstructive surgery and burn injuries.   Recommended Readings: FV - Paul Kalanithi – When Breath Becomes Air This memoir by a neurosurgeon-turned-patient is a poetic and piercing meditation on mortality, identity, and the transition from doctor to patient. It explores the tension between the analytical and emotional mind (somewhat paralleling the internal work of psychoanalysis) and offers profound insight into the humanity at the core of medical practice. Bill George – True North: Discover Your Authentic Leadership This book presents a leadership philosophy rooted in self-inquiry, values, and life stories. True North emphasizes that effective leadership comes from understanding your life narrative and using that insight to lead with integrity and resilience. True North challenges leaders to cultivate authenticity by exploring their internal landscape. While the book focuses on leadership in a business context, it offers a compelling, practical perspective for medical professionals as well. Atul Gawande – Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science Gawande offers a candid look at the uncertainties, dilemmas, and emotional burdens of being a surgeon. His reflection on fallibility and decision-making underlines the importance of non-technical skills and the internal work required to become not just competent, but humanely attuned, in medicine. The impact of nontechnical skills on technical performance in surgery: a systematic review. Hull L, Arora S, Aggarwal R, Darzi A, Vincent C, Sevdalis N. J Am Coll Surg.2012  This systematic review analyzed 28 studies linking surgeons' non-technical skills—such as teamwork, situational awareness, and stress management to actual technical performance in the operating room. It found evidence that effective NTS positively affects outcomes, while fatigue and communication failures contribute to technical errors.   MV - The Art of Loving – Erich Fromm Realizing the simple but somehow not always obvious fact that before being able to truly love someone, one must truly find themselves loveworthy. This implies and demands introspection, as well as forgiveness towards yourself and others. Outliers: The Story of Success – Malcolm Gladwell To master something, one must invest a substantial amount of time and dedication – this is not only true for technical skills, but also non-technical skills. Personal growth is only possible if you invest time, such as undergoing a psychoanalysis or similar. The Checklist Manifesto – Atul Gawande While the checklist itself is very technical, the way it was conceived and its effect was and still is rather non-technical. It is a question of putting your ego aside and truly focusing on areas which you can improve.

In previous episodes of Geology Bites, Barbara Romanowicz gave an introduction to seismic tomography and Ana Fereira talked about using seismic anisotropy to reveal flows within the mantle. In this episode, Andreas Fichtner explains how, despite the many fiendish obstacles that stand in our way, we are making steady improvements in our ability to image the Earth on both regional and global scales. These give us confidence that we can make three-dimensional maps of certain structures, such as the plume below Iceland, cold continental interiors, mid-ocean ridges, and the large low shear-velocity provinces.Fichtner is a Professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.

More and more of the tasks we perform in our daily lives are been guided by artificial intelligence, from searching the internet for answers to relying on satellite navigation in our cars. But studies recently released suggest that our use of AI is having a negative impact on our ability to make informed judgements and decisions. In one recent study from MiT's Media Lab, a group of people were asked to write several essays. Some of them used AI, others didn't. Those who used generative AI reportedly became lazier with each subsequent essay. This cognitive offloading, allowing AI to take over from our brains might be less taxing, but there are concerns that if we come to rely on AI, we are in danger of replacing our own critical thinking for a technology that might not always come up with the right answer. However, there are those who argue that AI can be beneficial in helping our cognitive function, that it can be employed to take on the more mundane, repetitive tasks, freeing up headspace to allow us to become more productive. Software education platforms are just one example where AI is been employed to assist teachers in things like knowledge checks and grading, with the claim that it allows them time for more valuable interaction with their students. So is it possible to find a balance where we can we can rely on AI but not to the extent were we lose our mental agility. On this week's Inquiry, we're asking "Is AI eroding our critical thinking?'Contributors: Dr. Daniel Willingham, Professor of Psychology, University of Virginia, USA Dr. Michael Gerlich, Professor of Management, SBS Swiss Business School, Zurich, Switzerland Yvonne Soh, Co-founder and CEO, Noodle Factory, Singapore Sana Khareghani, Professor of Practice in AI, AI Policy Lead for Responsible AI UK Programme, King's College, London Presenter: Tanya Beckett Producer: Jill Collins Researcher: Maeve Schaffer Editor: Tara McDermott Technical Producer: Craig Boardman Production Co-ordinator: Tammy Snow Production Management Assistant: Liam Morrey

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Joel Agard, Group Head of Innovation at Zurich Insurance, who has been driving bold, transformative startup collaborations across 40+ markets. His work has reshaped the way a global insurance giant works with startups, proving that innovation isn't just about flashy tech – it's about building real, meaningful partnerships that deliver results. From navigating the early days of Zurich's Innovation Championship back in 2018 to scaling the program during a global pandemic – and now leading the charge into the future – Joel brings passion, strategy, and a touch of risk-taking to every conversation. KEY TAKEAWAYS The football World Cup in 2018 inspired us to piggyback on the concept of a competition to try and raise awareness of corporate/startup partnerships. Back then, working with startups in our industry wasn't the norm, we were working with big technology companies. We asked ourselves; how can we show the art of the possible and show that working with startups can really work? This is when we invented the Zurich Innovation World Championship. In the beginning the pace that startups wanted to – and could – go didn't always resonate with the pace Zurich wanted to go. We had to align expectations and create a safe environment where we could test fast and where it was OK to fail. I've fallen in love with cool technologies so many times, and I still do: I'm a geek. But, we had to learn that if these shiny, amazing technologies don't really solve a problem for our customers or internal stakeholders, it's not fit for purpose for us. It might be that it's too early or is not a good fit for us. BEST MOMENTS ‘We at Zurich bring our reputation, brand, and insurance expertise from 150 years. Startups bring agility and speed because they are born in a digital world.' ‘Failing in a big corporate often doesn't have a good image. We've proved that failing fast and cheap is something we can achieve and is beneficial for the startups. It's now a normal part of our process.' ‘The Covid pandemic accelerated digital transformations, there were a lot of opportunities out there to accelerate our initiatives, so increased the number of startups, pilots.' ‘It's crucial to understand the gaps and problems you want to solve because we'd be wasting each other's time otherwise.' ABOUT THE GUEST Joel Agard is Group Head of Innovation at Zurich Insurance. With a career dedicated to fostering groundbreaking solutions, Joel spearheads Zurich's Venture Client Startup Engine, a program that drives innovation across 40+ markets worldwide.
