A reinauguração do Museu de Arte Urbana de Belém (Maub) marcou os 365 dias que faltam até a COP30, a Conferência do Clima das Nações Unidas, que terá como sede a capital paraense em novembro de 2025. A reforma é parte das muitas mudanças por que passa a cidade. Para encher de formas e cores fachadas, muros e pontes, foram convidados artistas importantes da cena urbana na capital, que é cercada de floresta e pelo universo paralelo do rio e as suas 39 ilhas. Drika Chagas é um desses artistas. Vivian Oswald, correspondente da RFI no RioMaior museu do gênero da América Latina, o Maub ocupa uma área de seis mil metros quadrados à beira-rio, na Baía do Guajará, no complexo do Ver-o-rio, uma das áreas que estão sendo revigoradas. Drika e os outros foram escolhidos por uma curadoria que busca artistas de diversas regiões do país, em harmonia com outras manifestações culturais juvenis que florescem em grandes capitais cosmopolitas ou cidades menos conhecidas.Nascida e criada em Belém, hoje a artista de 39 anos está baseada em Dijon, na França, onde vive há seis. Seu painel no Maub é imenso: tem 1.200 metros quadrados. Ela trabalhou por dias debruçada em andaimes. Era pequena no meio de tantas cores. Reproduz personagens com a cabeça de animais amazônicos com risco de extinção: o gato maracajá, o gavião real, imenso do tamanho de uma pessoa, e o macaco-prego. Eles chamam o público para a dança, uma espécie de rito do apagamento do fogo – uma conexão com o que se perdeu.“Para os meus murais, eu gosto muito de levar uma temática onírica amazônica, onde trabalho com estéticas um pouco surreais e também o feminismo amazônico, através das formas, dos tecidos, de nuances. Eu trago essa discussão do feminino, assim como a questão do simbolismo amazônico, com essas referências do nosso sincretismo religioso. O misticismo é muito atrelado nos meus murais”, explica. Aos 14 anos, ela entendeu o que queria: ser artista e trabalhar com grafite. "Lembro que eu via muita arte dentro de um museu, de instituições. E quando eu vi pela primeira vez uma revista de grafite, me inspirou muito o dinamismo que a gente vê dentro dessa cultura urbana, que é essa aproximação com o público. Quando tive contato com essa revista, meio que virou a chave. Eu falei: quero fazer isso", conta. "A partir daí surgiu essa busca independente”, afirma.A história de Drika com a França começou com um convite por intermédio da Aliança Francesa, depois de participar de projetos dentro e fora do Brasil. Aos poucos, ela foi se conectando com o país, e conheceu seu futuro marido.Drika participou do Le Lab14, que ocupou as paredes de cada um dos andares do prédio do correio em Montparnasse, em Paris. O velho edifício foi transformado em galeria e residência de artistas, coberto de grafites, colagens e fotos.Com a agenda cheia, Drika hoje tenta organizar seu tempo. Ela está prestes a coordenar um grande projeto de cultura urbana pelos próximos quatro anos em Chalons-sur-Saône, na região francesa da Borgonha. Mas as raízes também falam alto. A artista tem passado de três a quatro meses por ano em Belém. É onde se reconecta.A cada ano, o Maub deve renovar sua imensa exposição. Drika espera estar na próxima, a que será visitada pelas delegações dos quase 200 países que participarão da COP Amazônica, como tem sido chamada a Conferência do Clima de 2025.

Nuacht Mhall: Cothrom an Lae, i gcomhair Sheachtain na Gaeilge * Inniu an t-aonú lá de mhí an Mhárta. Is mise Gráinne Ní Bhrosnacháin. Cothrom an lae seo sa bhliain 1910, ba í Raymonde de Laroche an chéad bhean a fuair ceadúnas píolóta. Rugadh i bPáras na Fraince í sa bhliain 1882. Bean spórtúil ab ea í agus thaithin gluaisrothair agus cartacha go mór lei. Bhí cáil uirthi leis mar aisteoir roimhe. Spreagadh í san eitlíocht nuair a chur sí aithne ar eitleoirí eile. Chuaigh turas na ndeartháireacha Wright sa bhliain 1908 i gcion go mór uirthi freisin. Thosnaigh sí ag foghlaim conas eitilt sa bhliain 1909 sa bhaile Chalons, 140 ciliméadar taobh amuigh de Pháras. Chabhraigh an píolóta Charles Voisin léi taithí a fháil ar conas eitleán a láimhseáil. De réir a chéile d'éirigh léi eitleán a phíolótú go neamhspleách. Sa bhliain 1910, fuair sí roinnt cuirí go dtí taispeántais eitleáin timpeall an domhain. Bhí gradaim ann don té a bhainfeadh amach an luas, airde agus fad ab fhearr. Chuaigh sí ar turas go dtí Caireo san Éigipt, Cathair Pheadair sa Rúis agus Búdaipeist na hUngáire. Bhí roinnt timpistí aici ach lean sí ar aghaidh i gcónaí. Sa bhliain 1913, bhuaigh sí an gradam Coupe Femina, duais do phíolótaí baineanna as gnóthú thar na bearta a bhaint amach le heitilt 323 ciliméadar. Tháinig deireadh lena cuid aistear nuair a thosnaigh an Chéad Chogadh Domhanda. Thóg sí post mar thiománaí ag iompar saighdiúirí. Nuair a tháinig deireadh leis an gcogadh, thosnaigh sí ag eitilt arís. Sa bhliain 1919 chuaigh sí thar na bearta ní b'fhaide arís ar airde 4800 méadar. Ní amháin go raibh sí ag eitilt, bhí cáil uirthi mar innealtóir éirimiúil ag tástáil eitleán mar theastaigh uaithi caighdeán ní b'fhearr a bheith ar an margadh. I mí Iúil 1919 bhí sí amuigh ag tástáil, agus thuairteáil an t-eitleán agus bhuail sé an talamh. Fuair sí bás agus í 36 bliain d'aois. Deintear comóradh ar Raymonde de Laroche ag Seachtain Dhomhanda Mhná na hEitlíochta i mí an Mhárta agus tá dealbh di le feiceáil san aerfort Le Bourget i bPáras. * Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Espero que no. Nadie debería sentirse así. Pero tristemente, en las guerras que ha habido a lo largo de los siglos, muchas donnadies han muerto lejos de casa y nadie sabía siguiera su nombre. Sus familias nunca supieron cómo murieron o dónde fueron enterrados. Durante la Guerra de la Independencia de los Estados Unidos, tanto soldados británicos como alemanes murieron luchando y están enterrados en suelo americano en tumbas sin nombre. Solo Dios conoce sus nombres.Esto volvió a ocurrir durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Muchos soldados se entregaron valientemente por su país, pero al estar lejos de casa, nadie pudo identificar sus restos. Con tantos muertos en un mismo lugar, había que enterrarlos a toda prisa. ¡Qué sacrificio hicieron! Qué tristeza pagar con sus vidas y no recibir ningún reconocimiento por ello.Entonces alguien tuvo la idea de hacer un monumento a todos los soldados estadounidenses desconocidos que murieron en la Primera Guerra Mundial. El 23 de octubre de 1921, en la ciudad francesa de Chalons-sur-Marne, un oficial esdensamente elegido el cuerpo de un soldado desconocido para honrar simbólicamente a todos esos miles de estadounidenses que habían muerto. Nadie sabia el nombre del soldado. No llevaba ninguna placa que indicara su nombre o su rango. Y nadie sabia la fecha de su muerte. Hoy ese soldado está enterrado en la Tumba del Soldado Desconocido en el Cementerio de Arlington, cerca de Washington DC Ese soldado es el hijo de todos, el hermano de todos.Jesús murió hace casi dos mil años por una causa mucho más grande que una guerra de las que nosotros libramos aquí. Murió para salvar sus pecados a todas las personas de todos los tiempos. Jesús fue enterrado en una tumba prestada, y maravilla de maravillas, se levantó de la tumba.Nadie sabe exactamente dónde fue enterrado Jesús. Los guías turísticos de Jerusalén te llevarán a una tumba que se asemeja a la típica tumba en la que podría haber sido enterrado Jesús, pero el sitio real se ha perdido en las brumas del tiempo.Pero eso no importa. Jesús dio su vida para que tú y yo no tuviéramos que morir y ser enterrados para la eternidad en tumbas sin nombre. Como al ladrón en la cruz, se nos promete: «Estarás conmigo en el paraíso».

Sección del programa de RPA "La radio es mía" que demuestra que la modernidad es algo que viene de antiguo. Emisión del 6/6/2022, trigésima de la séptima temporada dedicada al cocinero Nicolás Appert. Las pildoritas radiofónicas de Modernos de otros tiempos son una forma de conservar a personajes que, por una cosa o por todas las que hicieron contra el espíritu de sus tiempos, nos fascinan o nos sorprenden. Es por eso que hoy vamos a dedicar el espacio al cocinero que desarrolló un método, la apertización, para conservar los alimentos sin alterar su aspecto ni sus cualidades organolépticas. Para ello, metió las cosas de comer en botellas, las cerró con corcho reforzado con cera y alambres, y las sometía a un baño de agua caliente a 100 grados científicos con los que destruía los microorganismos que hacían que los alimentos se estropearan. Appert no era científico sino cocinero que empleaba el método empírico prueba-error y no podía explicar por qué sus conservas funcionaban. Tuvo que esperar medio siglo para que Louis Pasteur explicara científicamente los descubrimientos de nuestro moderno. Nicolas Appert nació en 1749 en Chalons-en-Champagne en el seno de una familia que regentaba la célebre hospedería Le Cheval Blanc. Desde joven aprendió a manejar los fogones y a hacer champán. Montó una cervecería con uno de sus hermanos y pasó 13 años de cocinero de un duque alemán. A los 34 años abrió una pastelería en el corazón de París y fue muy activo en la revolución francesa. fue portavoz del tercer estado, participó en el asalto a las Tullerías y en el proceso y ejecución de Luis XVI. Luego, en los tiempos del terror fue acusado de moderado y, por tanto, de traidor. Estuvo preso tres meses y solo la ejecución del gobierno de Maximilien Robespierre le alejó de la guillotina. En esos años revolucionarios empezó a experimentar con éxito la conservación de los alimentos. Montó un taller en Ivry-sur-Seine, muy cerca de París donde cultivaba y envasaba sus alimentos. Luego las vendía en su obrador parisino. El éxito le llevó a ampliar su empresa en Massy, en el sur de París, y construyó un complejo formado por una casa, cuatro talleres y cuatro hectáreas de huerto. Appert, que empleaba a más de 50 operarios, controlaba el proceso de principio a fin: cultivaba las frutas y verduras, las embotellaba en los talleres y los vendía en su tienda. Los botes arrasaban en Francia y, mientras lo permitían las guerras, en el extranjero, especialmente en Rusia y en Baviera. Y también en los barcos. Fue el gran provedor de comida para los ejércitos napoleónicos, pese a ello, era tan mal gerente que pronto entró en una bancarrota que no abandonó en toda su vida. Con la derrota de las huestes napoleónicas, Appert perdió todas las ayudas estatales. Además, las tropas británicas y alemanas tomaron y destruyeron su complejo de Massy. Publicó sus descubrimientos para que el mundo entero se beneficiara de ellos y no los patentó, pero eso no impidió que otros los patentaran y se forraran con ellos. Además de las conservas, estuvo a punto de descubrir que la levadura era un organismo vivo. Mejoró la leche condensada e inventó los cubitos de caldo. Consiguió que el vino se conservara durante largos viajes al someter las botellas a un baño de agua a 70 grados. Lo mismo hizo con la cerveza que, tras calentarse a 100 grados, era tan rica un año después como el día de su elaboración. Vamos que a base de ensayo y error consiguió resolver los procesos de esterilización y pasteurización varias décadas antes no de que naciera Louis Pasteur, sino que se descubriera la microbiología y la enzimología. Pese a ello murió en la inopia en París en 1836. Tenía 91 años. Tuvo un funeral religioso, pero como no tenía pasta para pagar sus exequias, fue enterrado en una tumba para indigentes.

Expériences, découvertes, progrès, exploits dans les domaines des plus légers et plus lourds que l'air ont rendez vous au camp de chalons; l'objectif, bien sûr, est d'évaluer le potentiel militaire de ces moyens de transports fort originaux au début du 20e siècle.

quelques rues de Châlons ont porté , au fil du temps des noms différents., parfois originaux. Ceux ci nous permettent d'évoquer quelques aspects des conditions de vie et ... d'hygiène autrefois

This question seems to be on many people's minds if we believe the Google searches. It is indeed one of the most frequent searches about champagne. To answer this question, you must first know that the wines of champagne, which have been produced since at least the 5th century, have not always had bubbles. The technique of sparkling champagne was not mastered until the end of the 17th century! Legend has it that Dom Pierre Pérignon, a cellarer monk at Hautvillers Abbey from 1668 until he died in 1715, invented champagne as we know it today. In reality, this is not the case (pun intended). But he did invent the art of selecting specific grapes from different origins before pressing them. This results in better-balanced wines. Sparkling Champagne is a happy byproduct from the desire to understand and master a natural phenomenon. Champagne is a northern vineyard with a harsh climate for the vine. In the 17th century, the grape harvest took place quite late, in October. For this reason, the yeasts of the grape did not have time to finish fermenting when the winter cold came, blocking their action. But in the spring, when the wine was bottled, they came back to life. The carbonic gas could not escape during this second fermentation, so the bubbles appeared. In fact, the wine fizzing was so extreme the bottles initially could explode from the pressure. For a long time, the limited scientific understanding of fermentation was not possible. Thanks to the work of François, Maumené, Chaptal, and Pasteur, we finally understood the importance of yeasts and the contribution of sugar dosage during bottling. They also learned to measure the pressure inside the bottles. To these pioneers, we owe the Champagne method, which is now famous today for its rigor and excellence. So, as you can see, the bottles themselves are a fundamental tool for creating the iconic bubbles. Let's take a closer look. Alcoholic fermentation occurs when the yeast consumes sugar and releases carbon dioxide as a result of the reaction. Other compounds are also released, creating a wine's aroma. Now, based on how the wine is fermented, there are two possible results. If the wine is aged in vats or barrels, the gas escapes, creating still wines. If the wine is bottled, the carbonic gas from the fermentation remains trapped in the bottle. This is known as foam grip. In order for carbonic gas to be released inside the bottle, it is vital that the bottle can withstand the pressure. You will notice that the glass of champagne bottles is much thicker than that of still wine bottles. This is to withstand the pressure, which is from 5 to 6 kilograms per square centimeter. The glass is also important because of its shape and the presence of micro-apertures, which allow the formation of bubbles. Micro-apertures retain micro-bubbles that gradually grow and detach to form a train of bubbles that move to the surface of the wine, up to 50 per second. This means it is important to use a glass with a large base to let them form. The cap also needs specific attention. It must be made of cork and reinforced by a wire and a wire plate, an invention patented in 1844 by Adolphe Jacquesson, a merchant in Chalons en Champagne. Before we finish today, let's take a look at the effects of bubbles on flavour... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices.

Cette question semble tarauder un grand nombre de personnes si l'on en croit les requêtes Google. Elle est en effet l'une des recherches les plus fréquentes au sujet du Champagne.Pour y répondre il faut d'abord savoir que les vins de Champagne, produits au moins depuis le Ve siècle, n'ont pas toujours eu de bulles. En effet, la technique d'élaboration du champagne mousseux n'est pas maitrisée avant la fin du XVIIe siècle ! La légende veut que ce soit Dom Pierre Pérignon, moine cellérier de l'abbaye d'Hautvillers de 1668 jusqu'à son décès en 1715, qui ait inventé le champagne tel qu'on le connait aujourd'hui. En réalité ce n'est pas le cas, mais il a bien fait de l'assemblage un art en sélectionnant des raisins de différentes provenances en amont du pressurage afin d'obtenir des vins mieux équilibrés. Le Champagne mousseux est né de la volonté de comprendre et de maîtriser un phénomène naturel. En effet, la Champagne est un vignoble septentrional, au climat rude pour la vigne. La vendange avait donc lieu assez tard, en octobre. Pour cette raison, les levures du raisin n'avaient pas le temps de terminer la fermentation quand le froid de l'hiver survenait, bloquant ainsi leur action. Mais au printemps, quand le vin était en bouteille, elles reprenaient vie. Lors de cette deuxième fermentation, le gaz carbonique ne pouvant s'échapper, les bulles apparaissent. Le vin se met à pétiller, à tel point qu'il arrivait au départ que cela fasse exploser les bouteilles.Mais pendant longtemps, les connaissances scientifiques limitées ne permettaient pas de comprendre ce phénomène de la fermentation. Finalement ce fut grâce aux travaux de François, Maumené, Chaptal et Pasteur, que l'on finit par saisir l'importance des levures et de l'apport de du dosage en sucre à la mise en bouteille. On apprit aussi à mesurer la pression à l'intérieur des bouteilles. C'est à ces pionniers que nous devons la méthode champenoise, si réputée aujourd'hui pour sa rigueur et son excellence. Aussi, vous l'avez compris, les bouteilles sont un véritable outil de création des bulles. Voyons cela de plus près.La fermentation a lieu sous l'action des levures, qui consomment le sucre pour libérer du gaz carbonique et des composés à l'origine des arômes du vin. Mais il y a deux situations possibles :- si le vin est élevé en cuves ou en fût, le gaz s'échappe. C'est ce qui se produit pour les vins tranquilles.- alors que si le vin est mis en bouteilles, le gaz carbonique issu de la fermentation reste emprisonné dans celle-ci. C'est la prise de mousse.Et puis, autre élément déterminant relative aux bouteilles, il devient important de l'adapter au processus que je viens de vous décrire. Vous remarquerez ainsi que le verre des bouteilles de champagne est bien plus épais que celui des bouteilles de vins « tranquilles », et ce afin de résister à la pression, de 5 à 6 kg/cm2. Il en va de même pour le bouchon, obligatoirement en liège et renforcé par un muselet et une plaque de muselet, invention brevetée en 1844 par Adolphe Jacquesson, négociant à Chalons en Champagne.Enfin, attardons-nous sur l'impact des bulles sur la dégustation.Quand on ouvre la bouteille, le gaz carbonique dissous dans le vin repasse à l'état de gaz et s'échappe progressivement sous forme de bulles. Le verre aussi est important par sa forme et la présence de micro-aspérités, qui vont permettre la formation des bulles. Elles retiennent des micro-bulles qui peu à peu grossissent et se détachent pour former un train de bulles jusqu'à la surface du vin, jusqu'à 50 par seconde. D'où l'importance d'un verre assez ventru à la base pour les laisser évoluer. Voir Acast.com/privacy pour les informations sur la vie privée et l'opt-out.

La préfecture de la Marne a présenté hier matin le dispositif de sécurisation à J-1 de l'inauguration de la 75e Foire de Chalons ; L'UCIA et l'établissement français du sang s'associent pour la première fois afin d'organiser une collecte de sang sur le site de la Foire de Chalons le lundi 13 septembre.

In this episode, Tiffany and Lindsey talk about some werewolf cases, which believe it or not, there are way more than either of them anticipated! Tiffany starts us off with the demon tailor of Chalons, not to be confused with the demon barber of fleet street, Sweeney Todd. Lindsey wraps up the episode with her story about the more recent case of Mikhail “The Werewolf” Popkov who brutally murdered women for decades. The ladies of Luminol Cocktail are sipping on werewolves of London cocktails for this episode with the recipe located on the website. Once more, this is not a good drink (unless you enjoy Gin, like Lindsey) – so make at your own discretion!

Guitariste amoureux du jazz manouche, Arnaud Seité et ses amis ont fait l'acquisition à Chalons-sur-Saône d'une péniche Freycinet de 1925 (39 m de long, 5,20 m de large), et l'ont fait convoyer jusqu'à la capitale où, transformée par leurs soins, elle est à la fois un cabaret qui accueille musiciens , chanteurs et comédiens, un bar, un restaurant et une terrasse sur les berges désormais vouées aux piétons, aux cyclistes et autres adeptes des déplacements non motorisés. On y entend des concerts gratuits au bord du fleuve, on y fête des mariages, on y organise des « événements », on y voit des défilés de mode…

Dans cet épisode, je reçois Delphine Groll, co-fondatrice de NABLA, entreprise qui oeuvre pour la santé des femmes et qui vient de lever 17 millions d'euros. Petite dernière d'une famille de 4 enfants, Delphine se construit autour de valeurs fondamentales, notamment celles du travail, du mérite et du sens de la famille. La sienne, de famille, est justement très soudée autour de sa soeur aînée, Patricia, atteinte de trisomie. C'est cette soeur qui l'aide à prendre du recul au quotidien et à sans cesse se rappeler ou se situe l'essentiel afin de rester positive. Après une enfance marquée par le sport et notamment les compétitions de ski, Delphine prépare le concours de l'ENA. Sa première expérience dans la vie active, c'est à l'Elysée qu'elle se passera, au sein d'un cabinet sous la présidence de Nicolas Sarkozy. Cette expérience, ponctuée d'anecdotes qu'elle nous partage, sera une période exigeante, difficile, mais aussi un apprentissage énorme. Elle est donc jeune et femme au sein d'un écosystème assez masculin ou les signes de reconnaissance sont rares. D'ailleurs, elle masquera inconsciemment sa féminité pour ne pas faire de vagues et être prise au sérieux.  Après ces 2 années intenses en politique, Delphine rejoindra le groupe Au Féminin et y restera jusqu'à son rachat par le groupe TF1. Cette expérience extrêmement riche, lui permettra de faire des rencontres importantes comme Marie Laure Sauty de Chalons ou encore Fany Pechiodat fondatrice de My Little Paris. Elle y deviendra également intrapreneure via le projet de box Gretel. Ces différents chemins la mèneront à son entreprise actuelle, Nabla, une application pour la santé des femmes dont elle est co-fondatrice.  Derrière la femme active et ambitieuse, Delphine est également une jeune maman, enceinte de son deuxième enfant, à l'heure ou est diffusé cet épisode. Elle nous partage son quotidien, ses astuces et habitudes vertueuses, comme la méditation qu'elle pratique régulièrement. Bien entendu nous parlons d'ambition et j'aime beaucoup la définition que Delphine en donne et que je vous laisse découvrir. Belle écoute

Le gérant Thierry Fischesser compte transformer une partie de ses activités lorsque la crise sanitaire sera passée.

Sujets traités :  - Le port du masque reste obligatoire dans 13 villes du Bas-Rhin. C’est le cas à Schiltigheim, llkirch, Haguenau, Sélestat, Bischwiller, Obernai, ou Erstein. Dans le Haut-Rhin, seule Mulhouse est concernée. Le port du masque est obligatoire sur la voie publique et dans les lieux ouverts dans un rayon de 50 mètres autour des établissements recevant du public. Chaque maire peut encore définir des périmètres propres à chaque commune et précisés dans les arrêtés. C’est le cas, par exemple, dans le centre-ville de Sélestat. - 91 personnes sont toujours hospitalisées à cause de la Covid-19, en Alsace. Pour la journée d’hier, un nouveau décès est à déplorer dans le Bas-Rhin. 7 nouveaux patients ont été pris en charge dans les hôpitaux alsaciens et 18 malades sont en réanimation, selon Santé Publique France. - En raison de la crise sanitaire, la fête du vélo prévue demain à Molsheim, est annulée. Aucune nouvelle date n’est communiquée pour l’instant. - Au chapitre économique, un nouveau président entre en fonction aux Vitrines de Sélestat. Mardi, lors de l’assemblée générale de l’association, Philippe George a transmis le flambeau de président au producteur de vins Edouard Faller. Dans le même temps, Denise Buhl devient la nouvelle présidente de l’office de tourisme de la vallée de Munster. - Les carnavals pourront-ils avoir lieu en 2021 ? C’est la question que se posent les différentes associations organisatrices. Entre des normes sanitaires très changeantes et des coûts fixes, sans compter le temps de préparation des chars, les carnavalliers sont dans le flou le plus complet. Les représentants des carnavals de Rhinau, Sundhouse, Wittisheim, Bindernheim, Villé, Sélestat ou encore Hilsenheim se sont réunis la semaine dernière pour aborder ce sujet délicat. Il en résulte qu’organiser des manifestations dans des salles des fêtes est plus que compliqué actuellement. Quant aux défilés, une décision sera prise le 6 novembre lors d’une prochaine réunion. Décision qui pourra dans tous les cas être retoquée par la préfecture si la situation sanitaire venait à se dégrader. De fait, les carnavaliers ont été invités à patienter un peu avant de se lancer dans la préparation ou d’engager des frais. - Si vous avez toujours rêvé de fouler les planches d’un théâtre, la comédie de colmar a peut-être quelque chose pour vous.

Franco-Algerian singer Souad Asla grew up in Béchar in south west Algeria listening to, and loving, the region's traditional repertoires. While women have played a role in passing on that musical culture, they rarely perform in public. Asla has changed that. In 2015 she formed Lemma the first all-female ensemble from the Saoura to tour internationally. "Women have always been part of the musical heritage of the desert. Women have sung, danced and played percussion for centuries. But behind closed doors." Saoud Asla has brought these women out of the shadows and onto the prestigious Institut du monde Arabe in Paris to perform at the Arabofolies festival where we chat before the soundcheck.  Lemma (meaning union or gathering in Arabic) goes back to 2015 when Asla set out to try and preserve and promote the rich musical heritage of her native Béchar. "I brought these women together to play and above all preserve the vast and rich oral heritage from this region because it’s dying out," she explains. Musical genres, both religious and profane, like malhun, gnawi, zeffani, hadra are traditionally performed at weddings and funerals but are also shared between women at informal gatherings where they meet to "discuss and support one another". Asla brought together nine women, aged 20 to 79, all from the region of Béchar where she was born. With the exception of Hasna El Becharia, the now famous gumbri player and vocalist, the other singers and percussionists were unaccustommed to the limelight. "I had to go and convince their husbands, their brothers," she explains. "I set up residencies over there, kidnapped them and locked them up in a house in the desert for 10 days."  The women had music running through their veins but were unused to arrangements or using headphones. "They’ve worked very hard, and they’ve become a lot more professional," Asla says proudly. The women sing, dance and play percussion.  "Before going on stage, the women pray and put on their veils but they’re brightly coloured and shimmering," says Asla, They dress up, put on make up, they’re beautiful, they’re happy with themselves. That’s the Islam I grew up with." The ensemble defends that tolerant, open Islam on stage. "Our message is obvious when you see us performing in public: freedom of expression, freedom for women, a real place for women in music around the world, whether in Algeria or here in France. "Because even here, it’s difficult to get our music heard. As a Maghrebi woman, I don’t know what’s happening, but doors are closing. You can’t imagine how hard it’s been to get this group off the ground. Thankfully I’ve found a tour manager to promote the project but it’s been five years battling on my own and it’s been difficult." The tour shows it was worth all the effort. And the singer, who left Algeria for France 27 years ago to be able to perform in public, also takes satisfaction in having founded a kind of second family. "There’s a musical and spiritual kinship between us all. I feel like they’re my aunts, mother, sisters. You could say I brought my family over here. It was a bit selfish in a way. I did the project for myself, but it's taking off and I'm happy. Lemma play at the Festival des Musiques d'Ici et Ailleurs in Chalons-en-Champagne 30 June, 2019. Follow Lemma on facebook and check out other tour dates.

ODE TO NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE by Lord Byron with annotations from Peter Cochran [Byron wrote the poem in several stages. The earliest manuscript (at Texas) was created on April 10th 1814, and contains stanzas 1, 4, 6-12, and 14-16; Byron then added stanzas 5, 13, 2, and 3 to it. Stanzas 17, 18 and 19 were written – so it used to be said – at the request of John Murray, to increase the size of the book and thus to avoid paying stamp tax on it. But Andrew Nicholson, in Napoleon’s ‘last act’ and Byron’s Ode, (Romanticism 9.1, 2003, p.68) writes that there was no such condition attached to stamp tax.The Ode was published at high speed, first anonymously (with fifteen stanzas) on April 16th 1814. All editions from the third onwards have an additional stanza 5. Not until the twelfth edition does Byron’s name appear. Stanzas 17, 18, and 19 were not printed in Byron’s lifetime. Byron wanted to dedicate the poem to Hobhouse, but Hobhouse declined.]   “Expende Annibalem:—quot libras in duce summoInvenies?—— JUVENAL, Sat.X. “The Emperor Nepos13 was acknowledged by the Senate, by the Italians, and by theProvincials of Gaul; his moral virtues, and military talents, were loudly celebrated; and thosewho derived any private benefit from his government, announced in prophetic strains therestoration of public felicity.* * * * * * * * * * * * *“By this shameful abdication, he protracted his life a few years, in a very ambiguous state,between an Emperor and an Exile, till———— Gibbon’s Decline and Fall, vol. 6, p.220.   1. ’Tis done – but yesterday a King! And armed with Kings to strive – And now thou art a nameless thing: So abject – yet alive! Is this the Man of thousand thrones,  Who strewed our earth with hostile bones, And can he thus survive? Since he, miscalled the Morning Star, Nor man nor fiend hath fallen so far. – 2. Ill-minded man! why scourge thy kind  Who bowed so low the knee? By gazing on thyself grown blind, Thou taught’st the rest to see; With might unquestioned – power to save – Thine only gift hath been the grave  To those that worshipped thee; Nor till thy fall could mortals guess 12: “Put Hannibal in the scales: how many pounds will that peerless / General mark up today?” – tr.Peter Green. The first of many references to historical and mythical over-reachers with which B. cutsNapoleon down to size.13: Julius Nepos, Emperor of the Western Roman Empire after it had ceased to exist. Killed by his ownmen.14: BYRON’S NOTE: Lucifer was Satan’s name before he rebelled and fell. Ambition’s less than littleness! – 3. Thanks for that lesson – it will teach To after-warriors more  Than high Philosophy can preach, And vainly preached before. That spell upon the minds of men Breaks, never to unite again, That led them to adore  Those Pagod things of sabre-sway, With fronts of brass, and feet of clay. 4. The triumph, and the vanity, The rapture of the strife * – The earthquake-voice of Victory,  To thee the breath of Life; The sword, the sceptre, and that sway Which Man seemed made but to obey, Wherewith Renown was rife – All quelled! – Dark Spirit! what must be  The Madness of thy Memory!* Certaminis guadia, the expression of Attila in his harangue to his army, previous to thebattle of Chalons, given in Cassiodorus. 5 The Desolator desolate! The Victor overthrown! The Arbiter of others’ fate A Suppliant for his own! Is it some yet imperial hope That with such change can calmly cope, Or dread of death alone? To die a Prince – or live a slave – Thy choice is most ignobly brave! 6. He * who of old would rend the oak, Dreamed not of the rebound; Chained by the trunk he vainly broke – Alone – how looked he round? Thou, in the sternness of thy strength,  15: Attila the Hun lost the battle of Challons (451 AD).16: Received stanza 5 does not appear in the first editions.17: Echoes Johnson, The Vanity of Human Wishes, 213-14: Condemn’d a needy Suppliant to wait, /While Ladies interpose, and Slaves debate. A reference to Charles XII of Sweden, Johnson’s equivalentto Juvenal’s Hannibal.18: Napoleon attempted suicide while this poem was in proof stage. An equal deed hast done at length, And darker fate hast found: He fell, the forest prowlers’ prey; But thou must eat thy heart away!* Milo.19 7. The Roman, * when his burning heart  Was slaked with blood of Rome, Threw down the dagger – dared depart, In savage grandeur, home. – He dared depart in utter scorn Of Men that such a yoke had borne,  Yet left him such a doom! His only glory was that hour Of self-upheld abandoned power. – And Earth hath spilt her blood for him, Who thus can hoard his own! And Monarchs bowed the trembling limb, And thanked him for a throne! Fair Freedom! we may hold thee dear, When thus thy mightiest foes their fear In humblest guise have shown. Oh! ne’er may tyrant leave behind A brighter name to lure mankind!  11. Thine evil deeds are writ in gore, Nor written thus in vain – Thy triumphs tell of fame no more, Or deepen every stain: If thou hadst died as Honour dies.  Some new Napoleon might arise, To shame the world again – But who would soar the solar height, To set in such a starless night? 12. Weighed in the balance, hero dust  Is vile as vulgar clay; Thy scales, Mortality! are just To all that pass away: But yet methought the living great Some higher sparks should animate,  To dazzle and dismay: Nor deem’d Contempt could thus make mirth Of these, the Conquerors of the earth. 13. And she, proud Austria’s mournful flower, Thy still imperial bride; How bears her breast the torturing hour? Still clings she to thy side? Must she too bend, must she too share Thy late repentance, long despair, Thou throneless Homicide?  If still she loves thee, hoard that gem, – ’Tis worth thy vanished Diadem!14. Then haste thee to thy sullen Isle, And gaze upon the Sea; That element may meet thy smile – It ne’er was ruled by thee! 22: Napoleon’s second wife, Maria Louisa, daughter of the Austrian Emperor.23: Elba. Or trace with thine all idle hand In loitering mood upon the sand That Earth is now as free! That Corinth’s pedagogue hath now  Transferred his by-word to thy brow. – 15. Thou Timour! in his Captive’s cage * What thoughts will there be thine, While brooding in thy prisoned rage? But one – “The World was mine!”  Unless, like he of Babylon, All Sense is with thy Sceptre gone, Life will not long confine That Spirit poured so widely forth – So long obeyed – so little worth!  * The cage of Bajazet, by order of Tamerlane. 16. Or, like the thief of fire * from heaven, Wilt thou withstand the shock? And share with him, the unforgiven, His vulture and his rock! Foredoomed by God – by man accurst, And that last act, though not thy worst, The very Fiend’s arch mock; † He in his fall preserved his pride, And, if a mortal, had as proudly died! * Prometheus.† “The fiend’s arch mock—“To lip a wanton, and suppose her chaste.”— Shakespeare.29 There was a day – there was an hour,  24: English naval victories, particularly those of Nelson, had destroyed French naval power.25: Dionysus the Younger of Syracuse, the tyrant whom Plato tried to tutor, was expelled from the cityand set himself up as a schoolteacher in Corinth.26: Nebuchadnezzar.27: BYRON’S NOTE: Legend has it that, upon defeating him, Tamburlaine the Great imprisonedBajazet, the Turkish Emperor, in a travelling cage. Byron parallels Bajazet with Napoleon andTamburlaine with Wellington.28: BYRON’S NOTE: Prometheus, who was punished by Zeus for stealing fire from Heaven andgiving it to Man. Fastened to a rock, he was visited daily by a vulture which ate his liver. B. wrote thefollowing at some time in 1814, addressed to Napoleon, and referring to Prometheus:Unlike the offence, though like would be the fate,His to give life, but thine to desolate;He stole from Heaven the flame, for which he fell,Whilst thine was stolen from the native Hell. (CPW III 269)29: BYRON’S NOTE: Iago’s words at Othello, IV i 70-1. While earth was Gaul’s – Gaul thine – When that immeasurable power Unsated to resign Had been an act of purer fame Than gathers round Marengo’s name And gilded thy decline, Through the long twilight of all time, Despite some passing clouds of crime. 18. But thou forsooth must be a King And don the purple vest, As if that foolish robe could wring Remembrance from thy breast. Where is that faded garment? where The gewgaws thou wert fond to wear, The star,31 the string, the crest? Vain froward child of Empire! say, Are all thy playthings snatched away?19. Where may the wearied eye repose When gazing on the Great; Where neither guilty glory glows,  Nor despicable state? Yes – One – the first – the last – the best – The Cincinnatus of the West, Whom Envy dared not hate, Bequeathed the name of Washington, To make man blush there was but one!] 30: Napoleon won the battle of Marengo in 1800.31: For second thoughts here, see On the Star of the Legion of Honour (printed below).32: Lucius Quinctius Cincinattus was always being called from his farm to rule Rome, and alwaysreturning. B. would have us see Washington as a similarly austere Republican hero, unlike Napoleon.33: The following two spurious stanzas were printed in The Morning Chronicle of April 27th 1814: 20. Yes! better to have stood the storm, A Monarch to the last! Although that heartless fireless form Had crumbled in the blast: Than stoop to drag out Life’s last years, The nights of terror, days of tears For all the splendour past; Then, – after ages would have read Thy awful death with more than dread. 21. A lion in the conquering hour! In wild defeat a hare! Thy mind hath vanished with thy power, For Danger brought despair. The dreams of sceptres now depart, And leave thy desolated heart The Capitol of care! Dark Corsican, ’tis strange to trace

In July 1918, Germany embarked on its final offensive of the war. This offensive called for a massive push across the old battlefields of the Champagne to the east and west of Reims in order to seize the rail center of Chalons sur Marne and cut off the French armies defending Paris and Verdun. French General Henri Gouraud's IV Army was responsible for the Allied defense of Reims. During this critical period, the 42nd "Rainbow" Division was under his command. As Chief of Staff of the 42nd Division, Douglas MacArthur took part in this battle and was cited for bravery by General Gouraud and Major General Charles Menoher, commander of the 42nd Division. The Champagne Defensive would prove to be a critical moment in World War I – as well as a turning point in the life of Douglas MacArthur.

In this Halloween edition, Jeff and Dawn discuss the real life origins of some of our favorite monsters, and discuss one of those monsters who really walked among us.

From the moment war broke out, the Franco-Prussian War was a massive disaster for the French. After initial battles in the summer of 1870, the large force under Marshal Francois Bazaine went into the fortifications of the city of Metz in Eastern France. There, the French Army was put under siege by a Prussian force led by Prince Friedrich Karl. In order to assist the beleaguered soldiers at Metz, French Emperor Napoleon III formed the massive Army of Chalons to relieve Metz. Unfortunately for him, he never made it to Metz. At the Battle of Sedan, on September 1 and 2, Napoleon III would not just be routed by a Prussian Army, but actually would be captured. The French Empire was dissolved, and a new Third French Republic was proclaimed. Yet the force at Metz held out under Bazaine, who was trying to keep the Empire going with himself as a leader. Meanwhile, the Government of National Defense in Paris was trying to restructure the French war, as Paris was now under siege. By October 27, Bazaine's men were threatened with starvation, and he surrendered. Notably, he refused allowing his men to perform in honors of war, and quietly was captured by the Prussians.

Today is October 25th, 2017 and our guests this week are: Mike Shuster from the great war project blog,    Edwin Fountain, Vice Chair at the US WW1 Centennial Commission Lisa Whittlesey, Director of the International Junior Master Gardener Program And Jamie Shrawder, the Administrator of Governmental Affairs for the Borough of Danville, Pennsylvania WW1 Centennial News is brought to you by the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission and the Pritzker Military Museum and Library. I’m Theo Mayer - the Chief Technologist for the Commission and your host. Welcome to the show. [MUSIC] This was a big week 100 years ago in the War that changed the world. Looking back - --- America declares war 6 months ago and the first American troops arrive in Europe 4 months ago. This week 100 years ago, the Army’s 1st division quietly deploys to Sommervillier -  in france - a village near the western front almost directly between Belgium and Switzerland. We put a link in the podcast notes to some National Archive footage showing the the soldiers of the 1st division moving their horse drawn wagons, mechanised trucks, artillery and men to the fighting front. This is in the midst of a lots of controversy, conflicting agendas… opinions, and a very dire situation in the war “over there”. So let’s jump into our wayback machine to see what going on and how things play out 100 years ago this week. World War One THEN 100 Year Ago This Week [MUSIC TRANSITION] We are nearing the end of November 1917 and in the US, speculation is high about “Our Boys” getting into the fight. The official bulletin says NOTHING about this, the Wilson administration is being obscure, but the public press is sensing that something is up. [Sound Effect] Dateline: October 22, 1917 The headline in the New York Times reads: Hints Our Army is Near Action…. Secretary Baker’s guarded review is taken to mean that soldiers soon will be in the trenches. In the story it reads: In his review to press, Secretary of War Baker emphasized  the status of the Pershing expedition by giving it the most prominent position in his analysis of the military equation. He declares that “our men in France, after three months of intensive training, are in splendid physical condition and efficient fighting trim” and that they “Now feel at home in the war zone”. The Secretary had no comment to make on the statement, but the interpretation placed on his words, when carefully weighed here tonight, is that they mark the verge of the actual entrance of the American Troops into the fighting line.   Now Over in Europe, the situation is both complex and dire. We are going to zoom out for an overview of the situation. The troops on all sides are deeply war weary from the intense multi-year carnage of this unprecedented conflict. The Russians are effectively falling out of the fight with internal revolution and mass mutinies within their ranks. Everyone is clear that Russia is dropping out. This will free up a massive resources for the Germans for an expected major spring offensive.   Although the Americans have come to join the fight, and despite having been technically at war since April, the United States has just four infantry divisions in France. These are not seasoned troops. These are young civilians short on training, equipment, modern staff techniques and without combat experience. This raises a contentious concept called Amalgamation.   Amalgamation would have the United States insert its men directly into existing British and French units at the company level. This, argue the europeans, would compensate for the American officers and NCOs lack of familiarity with modern staff arrangements and technologies like aviation, armor, machine guns and heavy artillery. American troops would thereby be commanded at the tactical level by American junior officers, but the operational and strategic direction of American forces would be handled by more experienced Europeans. Though this sounds practical, many Americans including General Pershing look at the enormous casualty levels on the western front and recoil against the thought of our young men being used as cannon fodder by European generals. Pershing believes that the Europeans have become too tied to trench warfare. He has a different concept embodied  in his "open warfare" doctrine, which, he argues, will restore mobility to warfare by emphasizing American aggressiveness and marksmanship. Politically, Wilson and his advisors also recognized that amalgamation of American forces will not allow for a distinctive American presence on the western front. Wilson believes that he will need to be able to point to an American contribution to victory if he is to represent American interests in any post-war peace conference. Yet it is obvious that the Americans are not yet ready to fight on their own. Americans have virtually no experience in this new modern warfare. They need time to learn about it, trench warfare and modern tactics. They also need time to build relationships with their French and British allies and to overcome the crazy inefficiencies of their own mobilization.   There is great confidence that we can do it. The question is whether we can be trained, blooded, and effective in time to stop the German spring offensive. So on October 21, the first of the doughboys pack up, and General John J. Pershing leads the 1st Division to Sommervillier - a relatively quiet part of the western front to take the men of the American Expeditionary force to the fight 100 years ago this week!   We want to thank Michael s. Neiberg and Harold K. Johnson professors of Military history at the US Army War College for their great and insightful article on the subject. That link and other sources are in the podcast notes.

The endless carnage, devastating conditions and futile progress at Passchendaele is taking its toll on men and morale - especially with the British troops under a seemingly uncaring British commander - General Douglas Haig. Discontent  is boiling up in the ranks. Mike - please tell us the story…   [Mike Shuster]   Thank you Mike. That was Mike Shuster from the Great War Project blog. LINK: http://greatwarproject.org/2017/10/22/british-soldiers-threaten-mutiny/ War in the Sky This week in the great war in the sky we go to Bourbonne - les- bains - in France - interestingly not too far from Sommerviller where the 1st Division is heading. The Associated press has a reporter that gets to see a intact captured german Zeppelin. [Sound Effect] Dateline: Sunday October 21, 1917 The Headline in the NY times reads: “Americans Inspect Captive Zeppelin” “French also throng to see the great airship that was brought down intact! Germans Tried to wreck it… Prevented by victorious French Aviator who showed great pluck!”   In this illustrative story we learn many things about these giants of the sky what were sometimes referred to as Baby Killers or Pirates because of their bombing of civilian areas. The story reads: The crews of the Super-Zeppelins L49 and L50 have been interrogated and their replies confirm the supposition that they made up part of a single expedition against England. The Pirate fleet numbered twelve and left their stations separately. The prisoners say that when they reached the English coast, they were much bothered by anti-aircraft guns and even more by searchlights. L-50 quickly dropped its bombs and then rose to a height of three miles where they were caught by strong winds. Zeppelin L-49 came down near Bourbonne-Les-Bains---  intact, as were its machinery and its instruments. When the Zeppelin’s commander saw that it was impossible to save his ship, he destroyed the wireless apparatus and tried to explode the airship by firing his pistol into it. An opportunity was given to some American Officers to inspect the craft with French flying men. The whole body of the Zeppelin is painted black except the top, which is silvered. There is a small German Cross on each side amidships. The German airmen seemed surprised to see the Americans who had an opportunity to talk with some of them, and also with the Zeppelin commander, a slight blonde Lieutenant, speaking excellent english. A young French aviator told how he flew in pursuit of the Zeppelin to such an altitude that his cheeks froze and how he succeeded finally in forcing the craft down with his machine gun. When he saw they were about to land, he dived to earth. Other french aviators landed near. At the point of his pistol, the germans were prevented from damaging the craft further and were made prisoner. This is from an Associated Press report and a  newspaper article published in the New York Times - and it is a story that unfold in the great war in the sky one hundred years ago this week.

Commission News Interview with Edwin Fountain In Commission News we want to invite you to a very special live streaming event on November 9 at 11am Eastern. You’ll be able to tune in to Facebook live to watch the ceremonial groundbreaking for the National World War I Memorial at Pershing Park in Washington DC. It may surprise our listeners to learn that in Washington DC there is no national WWI memorial honoring our doughboys, their sacrifice and their victory in WWI. It’s true! There is a memorial for WWII, for Korea and for Vietnam but none for WWI. With is today is a man who has passionately been addressing this issue for the better part of a decade - maybe longer. He is also the Vice Chair of the World War One Centennial Commission - Edwin Fountain. Edwin welcome to WW1 Centennial News!   [Edwin  - Why is it important that we build a national WW1 Memorial in our nation’s capital.]   [Edwin -  tell us about America’s WWI Memorial in Pershing Park what is it going to be like?]   [We will post a link to that sculpture design in the podcast notes.]   [How can our listeners help build this memorial for our doughboys?]   Thank you Commissioner Edwin Fountain. That was Edwin Fountain - the vice-chair of the US World War One Centennial Commission. Education [Sound Effect] Junior Master Gardener Follow Up with Lisa Whittlesey In Episode #28, we introduced you to the Junior Master Gardener Program a 4H project. It’s an international youth gardening program that engages children in novel, “hands-on” learning experiences that provide a love of gardening, develop an appreciation for the environment, and cultivates not just the earth but young minds.   This Fall, the Junior Master Gardener program partnered with the US World War One Centennial Commission’s Poppy Seed Program to raise money for the program and America’s World War I Memorial in Washington DC. So as a reminder to our listeners, the WWI Poppy Program lets you Raise money for your organization, While helping us build the National WW1 Memorial in Washington DC.   The red poppy is an internationally recognized symbol of rememmbrance for veteran sacrifice.   It works like this...   for a donation of around 60 dollars, we send you a box of 60 Red Poppy seed packets in a kit. Your organization sells the poppy seed packets for $2 (or anything you want) and you keep the second dollar.   So you can raise money for your local veterans organization, school, church, scout troop or master junior gardener team - learn more about WWI and help us build the memorial in DC all at the same time -   With us to give us an update is Lisa Whittelsey,  Director of the International Junior Master Gardener Program. Hi Lisa - good to have you with us again!   [Say hello] [Lisa: how are our gardeners doing?]   [Lisa, what are some of the reasons the kids and their schools should get involved with the poppy program?]   [some of your kids really got into it  -- even making their own video commercials. Let me play a clip from a group of enterprising junior master gardeners from the lone star state of Texas!] [what are some of the stories you’ve heard about the program?]   [So flowers and poppy growing seems like a springtime activity - What happens now? Does the program go through the winter?]   Thank you Lisa! That was Lisa Whittlesey, Director of the International Junior Master Gardener Program.

Really… So was there a drug culture in the trenches and informants to the military narcotics vice squad?? - well no - Contrary to popular belief, the word “nark” -- spelled n-a-r-k -- doesn’t come from the word “narcotics” at all. In fact, it’s origin comes from the word for nose, “Nak”, N-A-K in Romany, the language of the Romany or Gypsy people. It’s original use in pre-war England was in relation to people who stick their nose in other people’s business - informers, or perhaps because they sniffed out trouble!   During the war, the word was brought into the trenches and spread into the American and ANZAC vocabularies. It came to mean a soldier who would reveal other private’s secrets, usually in order to improve his own standing. Nark -- the last kind of soldier you want to be! And this weeks word for speaking World War One!

Last month, we announced the first 50 “WWI Centennial Memorials”. We’ll be awarding another 50 matching grants early next year. If you live in a town that has a WWI memorial that might want a little attention… now is the time to go to ww1cc.org/100memorials and learn what you can do about it, what others have done and how to apply for the matching grants. The 100 Cities / 100 Memorials project in Danville, Pennsylvania was one of the first 50 awardees - and here to tell us about the project is Jamie Shrawder, the Administrator of Governmental Affairs for the borough of Danville.   Welcome, Jamie! [exchange greetings]   [Jamie - Danville has a memorial park with several monuments - The four sided WWI monuments is really striking with an eagle atop a four sided granite base. When did it get erected?]   [How do you and how does Danville feel about being one of the awardees and your memorial getting designated as a WWI Centennial Memorial?]   [I saw in your proposal that you approached various veterans organizations to support the restoration - how did that work out?]   [Cleaning up one of these historic memorials isn’t done by grabbing a can of brasso and polishing up the brass (BTW - I just felt 1000 conservators cringe at once) - how do you go about it?]   [do you have plans for a rededication?]   [exchange thanks] That was Jamie Shrawder, the Administrator of Governmental Affairs for the Borough of Danville. We are going to continue to profile 100 Cities / 100 Memorials projects - not only awardees but also teams that are continuing on to round #2 which is now open for submissions. So listeners - this weekend - if you are in the United States - take a few minutes look around your town and find your local WWI memorial. There WILL be one.. And you’ve probably seen it but did not know what it was. You’ll find it near the county court house, in a municipal park, by the old high school building, at the American Legion or the VFW post, or in an area of your local cemetery. When you DO find it, and if it needs some TLC, please go to WW1CC.org/100Memorials and see how you can start the ball rolling to get that memorial and the doughboys it honors some help.

The Battle was so devastating for the combatant Italian forces that the word Caporetto gained a particular resonance in Italy. It is used to denote a terrible defeat – the failed General Strike of 1922 by the socialists was referred to by Mussolini as the "Caporetto of Italian Socialism". In 1917 - the Italians lost 305,000 men, 265,000 of those as prisoners of war. Though not as devastating, the German and Austro Hungarian lost 70,000 men in that battle. Commemorations at the Kobarid Museum include a new exhibition with the title "Kobarid, Caporetto, Karfreit 1917"; there will also be a ceremony along the Walk of Peace from the Alps to the Adriatic, lighting candles at the memorials and cemeteries on the way. Many more events are scheduled, including a cross country running event in the region that will join the former combatants as colleagues - You can find out more by heading to the Kobarid Museum’s website and the Walk of Peace website.

On November 3rd 1917, Corporal James Gresham, and Privates Thomas Enright and Merle Hay, were killed in action during a German trench raid near the little village of Bathelémont (baa-tel-ay-mon) in France. These soldiers -- all members of F Company, 16th Infantry -- were the first three American combat casualties in World War I. The 16th Infantry Regiment Association will honor Gresham with the dedication of a plaque at his mother’s home in Evansville, Indiana, at 10:00 am, on November 3rd this year.   The article includes a conversation with the Association's President, Steven E. Clay, about about the 16th Infantry's soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice. You can read that discussion by following the link in the podcast notes.

US WWI Centennial commissioner Monique Seefried attended the ceremony at Versailles. This week at ww1cc.org/news -- she talked to us from France about the event, the statues, and what they mean for the future of the French-American legacy.

" Consider those women who write about the contortions on domestic life and feminine sensibility brought about by war... Author, veteran, and teacher, Peter Molin, explores the idea this week in a post about poet Aline Murray Kilmer, wife of well-known American WWI poet, Joyce Kilmer, who was killed during the Second Battle of the Marne in 1918. Aline's poetry conveys the urgency and nuance of a war wife's uncertainty as she finds her tranquility and self-worth vexingly dependent on her husband, even in his permanent absence. Don't miss this rich, insightful post about the often-overlooked and, yes, war poet, Aline Kilmer!

They had a WW1 Airshow on October 15th, the last for their season this year, and someone in attendance shared a bunch of really great photos from the event on Facebook. Pilots wore WW1 era uniforms, both Doughboy and German, and there was even an old Ambulance and stretcher bearers in case anyone got hurt. The afternoon included a hero, a heroine (Cheer!), the villainous Black Baron of Rhinebeck (Boo!), and pyrotechnics, as well as some really beautiful aircraft, including a Fokker Triplane and, my personal favorite, a reproduction 1910 Hanriot. See the photos, and visit the Aerodome website, at the links in the podcast notes. link:https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldrhinebeckaerodrome/permalink/1746902505342287/ http://oldrhinebeck.org/   Unknown Soldier Finally this week, I wanted to share an article from History.com that is yet another powerful story as we lead up to Veterans Day: the selection of the Unknown Soldier. On October 24th, 96 years had passed since the first Unknown Soldier was selected by a US Officer in the French town of Chalons-sur-Marne. According to the official records of the Army Graves Registration Service, four bodies were transported to Chalons from the cemeteries of Aisne-Marne, Somme, Meuse-Argonne and Saint-Mihiel. French and American officials then underwent the ceremony of selecting one of the four caskets displayed, each draped with an American flag. Sergeant Edward Younger, the man given the task of making the selection, carried white roses to mark the chosen casket. According to the official account, Younger “entered the chamber in which the bodies of the four Unknown Soldiers lay, circled the caskets three times, then silently placed the flowers on the third casket from the left. He faced the body, stood at attention and saluted.”   The “Unknown Soldier” remains in Arlington National Cemetery to this day, honored among and for the approximately 77,000 United States servicemen killed on the Western Front during World War I. And with that, we continue the countdown to veterans day. That’s it this week for the Buzz! link:https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/unknown-soldier-is-selected   Thank you Katherine.
