Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) a fost unul dintre cei mai influenți lideri militari și politici ai Franței, cunoscut pentru războaiele sale și pentru reformele care au modelat Europa modernă. Născut în Corsica, a urcat rapid în ierarhia militară în timpul Revoluției Franceze, remarcându-se prin victoriile sale împotriva austriecilor și prusacilor.În 1799, a preluat puterea printr-o lovitură de stat, devenind Prim Consul, iar în 1804 s-a autoproclamat Împărat al francezilor. Sub conducerea sa, Franța a dominat Europa, învingând marile puteri în bătălii celebre precum Austerlitz (1805) și Wagram (1809). A implementat Codul Napoleonic, o reformă juridică ce influențează și astăzi sistemele de drept.Totuși, ambițiile sale expansioniste au dus la eșecuri. Campania din Rusia (1812) a fost un dezastru, iar după înfrângerea din Bătălia de la Leipzig (1813), a fost exilat pe insula Elba. Revenit în 1815 pentru "Domnia de 100 de zile", a fost învins definitiv la Waterloo și exilat pe insula Sfânta Elena, unde a murit în 1821.Napoleon a lăsat o moștenire profundă, influențând politica, dreptul și identitatea națională europeană. Rămâne o figură controversată, considerat atât un geniu militar, cât și un lider despotic.Support the showhttps://www.patreon.com/octavpopahttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC91fciphdkZyUquL3M5BiA

Le Domus de Janas in Sardegna: tra archeologia e mito. Le antiche tombe scavate nella roccia e il loro valore storico. Le Domus de Janas rappresentano una delle testimonianze archeologiche più affascinanti della Sardegna preistorica. Queste tombe ipogeiche, scavate nella roccia tra la fine del Neolitico e l'inizio dell'Età del Bronzo, hanno una diffusione capillare su tutta l'isola, con una concentrazione più alta nel centro-nord. Se ne contano circa 3.500, un numero che le rende uniche nel panorama delle architetture funerarie del Mediterraneo. La loro importanza storica e culturale è tale da essere state candidate come patrimonio dell'umanità UNESCO. Struttura e peculiarità architettoniche Le Domus de Janas variano per dimensione e complessità, da tombe a cella unica fino a strutture più articolate con numerose camere funerarie. Secondo la prof.ssa Giuseppa Tanda, esperta del settore, il loro sviluppo planimetrico è il risultato di continue ristrutturazioni e ampliamenti, adattati alle esigenze delle comunità che le utilizzavano. Le tombe più semplici presentano una anticella, spesso decorata con incisioni simboliche, segno di rituali commemorativi dedicati ai defunti. Alcune necropoli hanno mostrato segni di utilizzo anche in epoche successive, come quella di Anela-Sos Fughes, dove una tomba venne modificata per integrare una stele di un tomba dei giganti, segno dell'evoluzione delle pratiche funerarie nel corso del tempo. La simbologia e l'arte delle Domus de Janas Decorazioni incise e dipinte: un unicum nel Mediterraneo Un elemento che rende le Domus de Janas uniche rispetto ad altri ipogei funerari mediterranei è la presenza di decorazioni scolpite e pittoriche. Motivi spiraliformi, taurini e simboli antropomorfi decorano le pareti di molte tombe, come quelle di S'Elighe Entosu e Montessu. La prof.ssa Tanda sottolinea come tali simboli siano indicativi di una forte connessione con il mondo spirituale e con credenze legate alla ciclo della vita e della morte. Le analogie con altre aree del Mediterraneo, come la Corsica e la penisola iberica, dimostrano l'esistenza di scambi culturali e commerciali tra le popolazioni neolitiche. Tuttavia, le incisioni presenti nelle Domus de Janas risultano un tratto distintivo della Sardegna, differenziandosi dalle altre architetture funerarie del periodo. Il nome e il legame con la mitologia sarda Le "case delle fate" tra leggenda e tradizione popolare Il termine Domus de Janas significa "case delle fate" e deriva dalla tradizione popolare sarda che le ha associate a creature mitologiche chiamate Janas. Queste figure ambigue, talvolta benevole, talvolta malvagie, venivano immaginate come esseri sovrannaturali abitanti di queste piccole grotte. Le incisioni ritrovate al loro interno, secondo le leggende, sarebbero state realizzate con le loro unghie affilate come lame di acciaio. Secondo la prof.ssa Tanda, la nascita di tali credenze è legata sia alle caratteristiche strutturali delle tombe (spesso basse e buie), sia alla loro funzione originaria di luoghi sacri e commemorativi. Queste tradizioni, seppur fantastiche, hanno contribuito a mantenere viva l'attenzione su questi monumenti, facilitandone la conservazione e la valorizzazione culturale. Le Domus de Janas e il riconoscimento UNESCO Oggi le Domus de Janas sono al centro di un progetto di valorizzazione che punta al riconoscimento come patrimonio mondiale dell'umanità UNESCO. La candidatura comprende 26 siti archeologici che rappresentano un campione significativo delle diverse tipologie monumentali presenti in Sardegna. Tra questi, spiccano le necropoli di Anghelu Ruju, Montessu e Sant'Andrea Priu. La candidatura mira a raccontare la vita quotidiana delle antiche popolazioni sarde, analizzandone gli aspetti civili, funerari e religiosi. Se accolta, potrebbe rappresentare un'opportunità unica per accrescere la visibilità internazionale del patrimonio sardo e promuovere ulteriori studi archeologici su questi straordinari monumenti.

Luca Gianotti"L'arte del camminare"Consigli per partire con il piede giustoEdiciclo Editorewww.ediciclo.itLa nuova edizione, riveduta e aggiornata, del primo manuale accessibile e divulgativo sul camminare scritto da uno dei maggiori esperti sull'argomento.Viaggiare camminando vuol dire entrare in contatto con la Terra, che calpestiamo passo dopo passo, e con la sua Natura a cui abbandonare i nostri sensi per farsi accogliere da Lei in un abbraccio ristoratore e rigenerante. E dunque abbracciare un albero, dormire sotto le stelle, ascoltare il silenzio, annusare e assaggiare le erbe incontrate, bagnarsi nei torrenti o nelle calette isolate dei mari mediterranei, ammirare il volo di un rapace, sono tutte emozioni che ci riempiono di energia. È un viaggiare a bassa velocità, e quindi è la forma di viaggio che consente maggiormente un approfondimento verticale dei luoghi attraversati. Il camminare si è evoluto in questi anni da attività sportiva e performante (arrivare sulla cima) a attività di vagabondaggio, spirituale, di crescita interiore. Il camminare sempre di più è un gesto rivoluzionario, controcorrente, ma anche un bisogno profondo che torna a galla. Di tutto questo vogliamo parlarvi, introducendovi a questa nobile arte.Luca GianottiÈ nato nel 1961 a Modena, laurea in filosofia, guida di trekking da una ventina d'anni, tra i fondatori della Compagnia dei Cammini, in passato fondatore dell'associazione La Boscaglia e suo presidente per più di un decennio. È stato scialpinista con all'attivo alcune spedizioni alpinistiche importanti tra le quali la traversata del Vatnajokull (Islanda), il più grande ghiacciaio del mondo, e la salita al Khan Tengri (7010 m) in Thien Shan (confine Kazakistan/Kirghizistan). Tra le sue imprese anche la traversata del deserto del Sahara algerino in mountain bike. Camminatore in tante parti del mondo, dalla Patagonia alla Thailandia, dall'Albania a Capoverde, da Socotra (Yemen) alla Norvegia, anche se ha sempre privilegiato i cammini mediterranei, Grecia, Turchia, Italia del Sud e isole. In Italia ha creato alcuni trekking tra cui il Sentiero Spallanzani nell'Appennino reggiano, di cui ha pubblicato la guida. Accompagna gruppi in Sardegna, Creta, Capo Verde, Majella, Pollino, Murge, Corsica, Gargano, Samos. Si dedica all'approfondimento dei temi del camminare come terapia, e tiene corsi di camminate meditative. Il suo progetto su questo argomento è il Cammino Profondo, o Deep Walking. Gestisce un agriturismo in Abruzzo, dove organizza trekking con gli asini, il primo in Italia con la formula francese del trekking in autonomia, senza guida. Ultimo suo progetto realizzato è il CamminaCreta, la traversata di quest'isola per 500 km, per valorizzare un sentiero che può diventare cammino europeo.

Interview with Keith Barron, President & CEO of Aurania ResourcesRecording date: 21st January, 2025Aurania Resources, led by CEO Keith Barron, is advancing two strategic projects targeting critical metals in Ecuador and France. The company's flagship asset in southeastern Ecuador comprises a 200,000-hectare land package in the same mineral belt as the high-grade Fruta del Norte gold deposit, a previous discovery by Barron's team.The company has invested over $60 million in systematic exploration of its Ecuador properties, identifying multiple targets for gold, copper, silver, lead, and zinc mineralization. These include sedimentary-hosted copper deposits similar to those in the DRC, high-grade epithermal gold targets reminiscent of Fruta del Norte, and zones of silver-rich lead-zinc mineralization in limestones. A recent $200,000 induced polarization survey has been completed over a key gold target, with results pending.Aurania is actively engaging with major mining companies for potential partnerships to advance its Ecuador projects. However, these discussions are temporarily paused pending Ecuador's upcoming national elections. The current pro-mining government is expected to retain power, though political uncertainty remains. The U.S. government has shown strategic interest in Ecuador's critical metals potential, particularly in preventing these resources from being controlled by Chinese interests.In France, Aurania is pursuing an unconventional nickel opportunity on the island of Corsica. The project involves extracting nickel-rich black sands from beaches, which contain awaruite, a naturally occurring nickel-iron alloy. Preliminary sampling has yielded impressive grades of up to 50% nickel, significantly higher than conventional hard rock nickel mines. These deposits, formed from eroded ultramafic rocks and enriched by historical asbestos mining waste, present a unique opportunity for near-term production.The company plans to extract the nickel-rich sands using a simple dredging operation, with potential production targeted for 2026. The project aligns with Europe's push for domestic critical metal supply chains, particularly for the expanding electric vehicle battery sector. Aurania emphasizes the project's environmental advantages, noting it would produce "clean nickel" without the rainforest impact associated with traditional nickel mining in countries like Indonesia.The investment thesis for Aurania centers on its exposure to critical metals essential for the clean energy transition, experienced management team, and potential near-term cash flow from the Corsica project. Key catalysts include Ecuador's election results, geophysical survey results, potential partnership announcements, and advancement of the Corsica nickel project. While both projects remain speculative, they offer strategic positioning in the growing market for battery and clean energy metals.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/aurania-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The 2025 Season of Krunching Gears, episode 2.   In this edition of Krunching Gears—The Rally Podcast, we chat with Mats van den Brand, who specialises in building and preparing BMW M3 rally cars according to FIA historic rally specifications.  Mats is based in the Netherlands, and both Mats and his beautifully prepared cars are becoming a regular feature of Irish rallying.   The BMW M3 E30 is an iconic rally car developed by Prodrive. It first graced the stages in 1987 in the hands of Bernard Béguin. He went on to win the WRC round in Corsica that year.  In Ireland, the M3 dominated the stages during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Its agility made it a perfect match for Ireland's tight, twisty roads and was notably campaigned by Bertie Fisher, Austin McHale and Andrew Nesbitt. 

Located in the Mediterranean Sea, Corsica is known as the "island of beauty". It's had a tumultuous relationship with the mainland since it became French in the 18th century and separatist sentiment still runs deep. In recent years, there has been growing momentum towards more autonomy for the island, but what would that mean for Corsicans? We take a closer look in this edition of French Connections.

Fred Bodimer explores significant stories in religion this week. The Crown of Thorns relic has returned to Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, marking a milestone in restoration efforts. A rare stone tablet inscribed with the 10 Commandments in Hebrew was sold at auction, highlighting its historic and cultural value. Pope Francis revealed the harrowing details of intercepted suicide bombers during his 2021 trip to Iraq and visited the French island of Corsica on a one-day spiritual mission.

In the week before Christmas, Pope Francis made a visit to Corsica to talk about traditional popular piety. It's a fitting theme as Christians everywhere prepare to contemplate the Nativity of Jesus. Catholic News Agency's Hannah Brockhaus traveled with the pope and brings us a report. We also get a glimpse of Christmas preparations from a Catholic pastor and preview of Christmas homilies. We talk to Register contributor Father Dwight Longenecker.

On his 88th birthday, Pope Francis revealed he survived two assassination attempts during his 2021 apostolic visit to Iraq, a journey already recognized as high-risk. In this episode of Inside the Vatican, Colleen and Gerry examine this shocking disclosure and other insights from his forthcoming autobiography, Hope, with excerpts released to mark the occasion ahead of its January publication. They also reflect on the first-ever visit of a pope to the Mediterranean island of Corsica on Sunday, Dec. 5, where he participated in a conference on popular religiosity and celebrated Mass for the island's predominantly Catholic community.

This week we're off to the Mediterranean's most mountainous island with travel writer Anna Richards. Together we discuss Corsica's dramatic landscapes and picture-perfect beaches, as well as what sets it apart from mainland France. Plus, Anna shares what it's really like to walk one of Europe's most demanding hikes, the GR20. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Meditation and mindfulness: are they effective or it this just woo-woo? We'll ask this question to Anne-Marie Emmanuel, a retired French teacher from Corsica who lives in New Mexico.  After several sad events affected her life, Anne-Marie resorted to mindfulness practices she had set aside years before and found solace in them. She then embraced meditation as a way to become more centered and in touch with our soul. Now a fully trained mindfulness guide, she leads Mindful Frontiers, bringing mindfulness to school classrooms, designing corporate staff training sessions and custom workshops. In this interview Anne-Marie will not only explain how mindfulness works, but she will share 3 poignant stories showing how mindfulness helps us every day, plus several tips on how to get started.  And to top it off, she will also start meditation live while in the episode, so you can get to try it immediately!

This two part series is all about Napoleon Bonaparte, the scrappy outsider who just wanted to belong. In part one, Napoleon worked hard to prove himself in the French army after he was booted out of his homeland of Corsica. He used his brilliant mind to rise through the ranks and help the revolutionaries secure an independent France. But after a disastrous military campaign in Egypt, he returns to France to find all of his hard work undone. Now, Napoleon has a new mission – achieving political power – and he won't quit until he reaches the top.Listen to Even The Royals on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

As part of our march to the Kingdom Come part, the years keep rolling on and the Holy Father keeps adding new Cardinals to… well I'd normally say to fill vacancies, but the reality this is the first time possibly in history where technically the College is already over capacity but here comes Pope Francis adding more new Cardinals anyways. Don't get too worked up about that, it's not a sudden departure as JPII and Benedict both went over the same theoretical limit. The Papacy is an absolute monarchy so constitutions are more like guidelines, though I'm still very curious what it will look like if there's ever a need for a conclave when the College is over capacity, something that seems all the more likely as Pope Francis continues to treat the maximum as a minimum and keeps hid apparent preference for having a consistory every year– the only full year he's skipped in his pontificate was 2021 due to COVID.   But enough about the generalities, we've got 21 new Cardinals to cover and only a couple months to do so! To be clear, for the sake of my sanity as I continue to juggle my various responsibilities, I've decided I'm *not* planning to cover all the new Cardinals in time for the consistory on December 8th, at least not on the main feed. I *do* have it down as a stretch goal for my Patreon supporters, getting them all the new cardinals in a more timely fashion but everyone will get the same content eventually. It's just going to take 21 weeks to cover the 21 new Cardinals on the main feed, and it'll be faster for my Patreon folks as a thank-you for the support without actually putting content behind a paywall- just a mild time delay. Fair enough? Look, if you're in a pinch and can't afford a Patreon subscription just write in and ask, I'm a softie and I've been there before, no sweat, I'll get you a link to whichever episode you like when it's ready, free. Again, you'd be getting it eventually anyway, so really you don't even need to do that, just have some patience.   Alright, enough admin, let's get talking about the first Cardinal-Elect on Pope Francis' list, and let's start at the beginning, nearly a hundred years ago.   Angelo Acerbi was born on September 23rd 1925 in Sesta Godano, part of the province of La Spezia in the Liguria region of Italy, basically due north–ok and a smidge east–of Corsica. Historically, the area was for many years part of the Republic of Genoa, but, look, Cardinal-Elect Acerbi is old but he's not *that* old. He is old enough though that he grew up under Benito Mussolini's Fascist dictatorship and may just remember some adult's reaction to the Lateran Treaty, but probably not, he was three at the time and that's a lot of geopolitical awareness to ask of a toddler. Then again, this is a future diplomat we're talking about here.   In any event, the most likely answer for what Angelo was doing as he came of age in Mussolini's Italy is “going to school”, in particular going to seminary, as he was ordained by the age of 22, becoming a priest for the Diocese of… well, somewhere. He seems to have been near the border of two dioceses, La Spezia and Pontremoli. Vatican News lists Pontremoli, so we'll go with that, you'd think they'd know. Part of what makes it not as clear as you'd think is he wasn't serving in the diocese for long. In 1956, about 8 years after his ordination, Fr Acerbi entered the diplomatic service of the Holy See, which was expanding outward now that it was no longer dominated by Italian politics, at least not quite so much. Of course, to be clear, part of that domination had been voluntary, part of what made Mussolini successful was his partners in the Church.   Probably the biggest question of the 20th century Papacy is the extent to which Pius XII was one of those partners, and we'll certainly be looking at that eventually, but for today's purposes Acerbi's overlap with the Pope of the Second World War is a brief couple years before Pius was succeeded by John XXIII of Second Vatican Council fame. I don't have any stories of Father Acerbi and the Council, certainly he was aware of it, but he doesn't seem to have been there, which makes sense as he wasn't a bishop yet and his diplomatic work would have been ongoing throughout. His early diplomatic portfolio included relations with Colombia, Brazil, France, Japan, and Portugal. It's possible his work in Colombia and Portugal overlapped with Papal trips there- Paul VI had kicked off the modern era of Papal travel in 1964 when he visited the Holy Land, the first Papal trip outside Italy since the time of Napoleon. Certainly Father Acerbi and Paul VI at least got together in 1974, when His Holiness appointed Father Acerbi as Pro-Nuncio to New Zealand and personally consecrated him Titular Archbishop of Zella, which as near as I can tell is an oasis in the middle of Libya. As a reminder, titular dioceses  have no function, it's just a way of giving an official jurisdiction to a bishop whose responsibilities won't actually include running a diocese. Oh, and if you're wondering, a Pro-Nuncio is actually one step *below* a regular Nuncio. It's a step above an Apostolic Delegate, which, well, he also became one of those at the same time. Not to New Zealand, but to the Pacific Ocean. Realistically of course, “the Pacific Ocean” is referring to a number of Pacific Island nations, many of which have their own nunciatures these days, though I still like to think of it as managing the Holy See's relations with Poseidon, God of the Sea.   The fifth Pope now-Archbishop Acerbi served was Pope Saint John Paul II, careful counters might wonder who the fourth Pope was but of course since they're careful counters they're probably already aware of the implied existence of John Paul the Second's immediate predecessor, John Paul I. But JPI didn't get up to much in his 33 days as Supreme Pontiff,  Which is why we've already blown past him so I can tell you that JPII made Archbishop Acerbi his Nuncio to Colombia in 1979, full-on Nuncio this time, and with him revisiting an area he had worked previously, keeping in mind Columbia was a possible overlap between Acerbi and Paul VI given Paul VI's trip and Acerbi's early work there.   Acerbi's decade-plus as Nuncio to Colombia overlaps with some serious drug and cartel times we'll look at more if he makes it to the next round. A particularly memorable stretch would have been the six weeks he spent as a hostage to Socialist guerrillas from that country's 19th of April movement.   In 1990, Aberbi was made Nuncio to Hungary, making him first on the restored diplomatic scene there after the fall of the Iron Curtain–Hungary hadn't had a nuncio since 1945. He continued on i n that role for seven years, simultaneously serving as Nuncio to Moldova starting in 1994, the same year Moldova adopted their current constitution.   From 97 to 2001, Archbishop Acerbi served in his presumably final diplomatic post, as the Nuncio to the Netherlands. I say presumably because, of course, Pope Francis is giving him a new role in a couple months, so who knows? Maybe he will be asked to step back into another nunciature. Then again, Cardinal-Elect Acerbi himself has already thrown cold water on that idea, noting that he expects to support Pope Francis, quote, “with prayer, as I do not see how else I can contribute given my old age”. Which, I mean, fair enough, he's 99.   But we're not quite done with our overview, because from 2001 to 2015, Archbishop Acerbi served as the Prelate of the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta, a name which of course needs some unpacking– the Knights of Malta for short, they're a military religious order that originally was meant to protect pilgrims  to the Holy Land and wound up running Rhodes and Malta after the crusades, Rhodes until the Turks kicked them out and Malta until Napoleon kicked them out, at which point they moved to Rome. They're more about ceremony and charitable stuff than military stuff these days, and we actually came across them during our Patreon special on Cardinal Burke with Fry from Pontifacts if you need another reason to join Patreon. Don't worry, Cardinal Burke and the Knights of Malta will be popping up on the main feed again in due course. Anyways, as Prelate for the Order, the octogenarian Archbishop Acerbi's job was to oversee the priests of the Order, making sure they were doing their priest things right. The end of his tenure overlapped with the beginning of the aforementioned Cardinal Burke's time as their Cardinal-Patron by the way, if you were wondering about that.   Archbishop Acerbi retired from that role a few months before his 90th birthday, and hadn't been making many headlines since, most recently residing at the Casa Santa Marta on the Vatican grounds, which if that name rings a bell, yes, Pope Francis lives in Room 201 there. And it was Pope Francis who put Archbishop Acerbi back into the headlines last week, when he  dropped his name at his weekly Angelus last Sunday, which apparently the Acerbi was listening to, since he said that's how he found out about it. His reaction to the news has been as diplomatic as you might expect, refusing to make it about himself personally, quote:   "I believe the Pope wanted to give a sign of appreciation and recognition for the service that many old and new nuncios, as well as the staff of the nunciatures, are providing around the world"   As he is already over the maximum voting age of 80, Cardinal-Elect Angelo Acerbi will not be able to vote in future conclaves, though traditionally older Cardinals do participate in the preliminary gatherings and discussions that take place during the sede vacante period before the opening of the conclave itself.   Today's episode is part of Cardinal Numbers, and there will be more Cardinal Numbers next week. Thank you for listening, God bless you all! Thanks, Joe!

Napoleon Bonaparte is notorious for being a power-hungry, vertically-challenged French emperor who conquered, and then pissed off, much of Europe in the 19th century. But Napoleon wasn't that short, wasn't born in France, and actually wanted to be a writer. He was an upstart from Corsica who started out as a bullied outcast just looking for some respect. But he quickly learns that men like him aren't just handed respect. They have to take it for themselves.Listen to Even The Royals on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Seneca was exiled to what he felt was a rock in the middle of the ocean. He hated it. He thought it was torture. And of course, it was unfair that he was sent there—on trumped up charges no less—and it would have been lonely and sad to be so far from his family.Yet it is a little funny that the place he was sent to, Corsica, is a beautiful vacation spot for people all over the world today.Seneca couldn't see that, just as perhaps you can't see what's just underneath the rough exterior of the situation you're in. We've talked before about the Maggie Smith poem Good Bones. It takes a certain eye to be able spot what others are too depressed or too cynical or too devastated to see.Think of the settlers and developers who were able to see what later became bustling cities in the uncultivated land. Think of the people who were able to see the potential for renewal and growth in a run down neighborhood. Think of the leaders who saw a future in an organization or franchise that everyone else gave up on.We can forgive Seneca for his moments of self-pity and doubt and hopelessness. It would happen to the best of us. We can also learn from what he missed by focusing on that. We can try to see the good bones, the better future, the potential in the situation we're in. We can strive to make that come true.✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail
