Flashback on the French Demonstrations. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Louis Rase.
The pension's reform ordered by the French government will have been the trigger of an umpteenth fever within the French people. Between the calls of the Unions to strike, the pilling up of garbage in Paris's street, the spontaneous gatherings in the streets, the clashes with the police. These events highlight the conditions for fundamental freedoms to be exercised, and sometimes to be scorned. If these rights are inherent to the individual because of their nature of limit between savagery and humanity; they are not granted but due. Those rights become a duty for the States, a duty to guarantee and protect.

What Are we Doing About it. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Attila Seress.
Attila Seress of Cypac helps us understand the current status and affects of ransomware attacks. With today's attention to cyber threats an all-time high and crackdowns by law enforcement on cyber gangs, you would think that ransomware attacks would be at an all-time low. But according to a new report published by Tenable, 35.5% of breaches in 2022 were the result of a ransomware attack, only down a negligible 2.5% from the year before. Cybercriminals are not making as much money they used to.. or are they?

Hawai'i Hurricane Relief. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika.
Many of us in Hawai'i are aware that we have an Emergency and Budget Reserve Fund, enshrined in chapter 328L, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to save money for a 'rainy day'--that is to say, an emergency. In the most recent legislative session, the state budget bill provides for an additional one billion dollars to be socked away into that fund, $500 million a year.
But, as it turns out, that’s not the only 'reserve fund' we have.
As the Department of Budget and Finance kindly explains on its website, we have the Hawaii Hurricane Relief Fund (HHRF). This fund was set up in 1993 to provide hurricane insurance coverage for property owners here in Hawai'i Nei in case the private insurance market proved unreliable. This was thought to be a good idea when Hurricane Iniki whacked us in 1992.
In the years since Iniki, however, private insurers returned to the market. The HHRF shut down in 2002. But we still, to this day, have $186.7 million in the fund.
