Here's a 300-word iTunes/Podcast Apps summary for Episode 562: What happens when your carefully planned vacation in France takes an unexpected turn? In Unexpected France: History, Nature, and a Bit of Chaos, host Annie Sargent talks with traveler Gregg Furey about a journey filled with breathtaking discoveries, surprising challenges, and a few classic French travel mishaps. Listen to this episode ad-free Gregg's trip took him to places most visitors overlook. He explored the prehistoric caves of Arcy-sur-Cure, where ancient paintings connect today's traveler with humanity's earliest stories. He visited the soaring cathedrals of Laon and Bourges, each one a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. At the battlefield of Alésia, Gregg learned how Julius Caesar defeated Vercingetorix and how that moment still shapes French identity. And in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, he reflected on the life of General Charles de Gaulle at the Croix de Lorraine memorial and museum. But not everything went according to plan. Gregg ended up in a hospital in Sarlat after unexpected health issues. Instead of panic, he found efficient doctors, affordable treatment, and an eye-opening look at how the French healthcare system really works. This detour disrupted his schedule but turned into one of the most memorable parts of the trip. This conversation is about more than just sightseeing. It's about handling the unpredictable. It's about staying flexible, finding humor when things go wrong, and discovering that mishaps often make the best stories. Annie and Gregg remind us that France is more than Paris and the Riviera. Smaller towns, Roman ruins, and quiet villages hold just as much magic. Subscribe to the Join Us in France Travel Podcast to hear more stories like this one.

FASCISM...FRANCE. Two words/ideas that scholars have spent much time and energy debating in relationship to one another. Chris Millington's A History of Fascism in France: From the First World War to the National Front (Bloomsbury, 2019) is a work of synthesis that also draws on the author's own research for key examples and evidence to support its narrative and claims. Moving chronologically, the book's chapters take the reader from the impact of the First World War right up to the contemporary period in French politics, culture, and society. A narrative and analysis focused on the French context, the book situates France within a broader European frame. Engaging the complex historiographic battles surrounding French fascism in ways that will be helpful to non-specialists, and especially to student readers, the book condenses decades of previous scholarship while delving into concrete cases and moments that help to illustrate the stakes of this historical and political field. Examining movements like the Croix-de-Feu, Faisceau, Jeunesses Patriotes, Partie Social Français, and the Cagoulards within the broader interwar landscape of right-wing thought and politics, the book goes on to consider the Vichy period and the emergence of the National Front after the Second World War. *Special note: Chris and I ran out of time before I could ask him about what he's been working on since the publication of A History of Fascism in France. Readers may also be interested in his most recent book, France in the Second World War: Collaboration, Resistance, Holocaust, Empire (Bloomsbury, 2020). Roxanne Panchasi is an Associate Professor of History at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada who specializes in twentieth and twenty-first century France and its empire. If you have a recent title to suggest for the podcast, please send her an email (panchasi@sfu.ca).

Qu'est-ce que l'expérience spirituelle a à nous apporter ? De quoi vient-elle, en quelque sorte, nous guérir ? Nous en parlons avec mon ami Jean-Luc Giribone, penseur et écrivain. Le livre de Jean-Luc : https://www.seuil.com/ouvrage/par-dela-la-sagesse-jean-luc-giribone/9782021529531 Mon site : https://www.fabricemidal.comFacebook Fabrice Midal : https://www.facebook.com/FabriceMidalFacebook du podcast Dialogues : https://www.facebook.com/dialogues.fmInstagram Fabrice Midal : https://www.instagram.com/fabricemidalInstagram du podcast Dialogues : https://www.instagram.com/fabricemidal_dialogues/Tiktok : https://www.tiktok.com/@fabricemidal Mes trois chaînes YouTube :Mes vidéos : https://www.youtube.com/@fabricemidal1Les Dialogues : https://www.youtube.com/@dialoguesfmLes méditations guidées : https://www.youtube.com/@mediteravecfabricemidal  Reso, mon école de méditation :https://www.reso.cohttps://www.facebook.com/reso.meditationhttps://www.instagram.com/reso_meditation Mots clé : Les voies spirituelles apparaissent au premier abord très différentes les unes des autres : on ne voit guère ce qui rassemble la méditation assise, l'art des compositions florales et la pratique des arts martiaux. Et encore moins ce qui les rapproche de la « nuit obscure » de Jean de la Croix, ou de l'« expérience intérieure » de Georges Bataille. Mais la pluralité même de ces pratiques fait surgir la question de ce qui les réunit – qu'ont-elles en commun ? Comment changent-elles notre vision du monde, des choses, des théories et, plus profondément, notre rapport à la vie ? Et finalement, qu'est-ce qu'une « voie » ? Que veut dire ce mot, quand on tente d'en explorer la profondeur ?Telles sont les questions auxquelles veut répondre ce livre qui, en suivant l'itinéraire d'un « chercheur spirituel », et en faisant jouer divers éclairages venus de la psychanalyse, de la psychothérapie et des sciences humaines, explore les fondamentaux de ces pratiques de soi. Jean-Luc Giribone, ancien élève de l'ENS (Ulm), agrégé de lettres, s'intéresse à la pratique spirituelle depuis plus de trente ans.

Hudson, Wisconsin is a sleepy, quiet community bordering the St. Croix river. In 2002, as the rest of the country adjusted to the growing crime rates of the 21st century Hudson locked itself away in its tight northwest corner of the state. Everyone truly knew everyone and daily interactions between the residents resembled episodes from Leave It to Beaver and The Andy Griffith Show. That was why, when a beloved member of their community was murdered, the town was left reeling. It would be difficult, but, in order to catch the killer, the town would have to face their demons.  Sources: Source 1 Source 2 Source 3 Source 4 Source 5 Source 6

Saints du jour 2025-08-09 Sainte Thérèse-Bénédicte de la Croix by Radio Maria France

Aujourd'hui, nous sommes le samedi 9 août, et nous fêtons sainte Edith Stein, Thérèse-Bénédicte de la Croix. Née dans une famille juive, elle perdit la foi à l'adolescence. Sa recherche de vérité la mena à la philosophie, puis à la rencontre du Christ. Devenue carmélite, elle fut déportée et mourut à Auschwitz. Jean-Paul II l'a proclamée co-patronne de l'Europe.Avec les hommes et les femmes qui t'ont cherché de tout leur cœur, je me présente devant toi Seigneur. Donne-moi de pouvoir faire silence pour accueillir... Chaque jour, retrouvez 12 minutes une méditation guidée pour prier avec un texte de la messe !

Raheem Sealey is the corporate chef of Kyu Restaurant, which has locations in Las Vegas, Miami, and New York City. Sealey is based in Miami, where he moved from the U.S. Virgin Island of St. Croix in 2009. He attended culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts and worked in a variety of restaurants, including Caribbean concept Sugarcane and Zuma, which offers modern Japanese food in a stylish setting, as well as Pao by Paul Qui, which, similar in a way to Kyu, also offers Asian-inspired cuisine from a wood-fired grill. He eventually landed at Kyu in 2016 as a sous chef, and has been there ever since. There, Sealey offers items like smoked brisket rubbed with a shichimi pepper-based spice mix and served as a lettuce wrap, yakiniku baby back ribs, and whole roasted cauliflower in green chile vinaigrette.Sealey discussed his menu development process and shared that the restaurants will soon have a crispy duck salad and a grilled pork chop with sweet chile sauce and smoked eggplant relish. He also shared a trick for catering to customers who don't like cilantro.

STORY OF AMERICA — French King Henri IV granted a fur monopoly to a noble who led a colonizing expedition to an island located near the mouth of the St. Croix River in 1604, which in time was to mark the international boundary between the Canadian province of New Brunswick and the American state of Maine. In the spring of 1605, France’s St. Croix settlement was moved to a new site across the Bay of Fundy, on the shore of the Annapolis Basin, an inlet in western Nova Scotia. Here at Port Royal, France's most successful colony to date was established. The general area came to be known as Acadia. Among the lieutenants on this undertaking was a geographer named Samuel de Champlain, who promptly carried out a major exploration of the northeastern coastline of what is now the United States.

In this powerful episode of What Are You Made Of?, host Mike "C-Roc" welcomes Marcus Norman, Navy veteran, entrepreneur, and host of the Gentleman Style Podcast. Marcus shares a compelling journey that began on the small island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where he started working at age 10 to help support his father. He opens up about how growing up with grit, hustle, and purpose shaped his mindset and work ethic, eventually leading him into the U.S. Navy where he served eight years as a submarine sailor. Marcus reveals how the discipline and structure of military life helped him mature and sharpen his entrepreneurial instincts, especially in areas like real estate and personal finance. After leaving the military, Marcus began house hacking his way through multiple properties, ultimately selling them to invest in his newest venture: Lifeologie Counseling Hampton Roads, a fast-growing mental health franchise. He dives into the challenges and rewards of entering the healthcare space with no clinical background, scaling a business built around purpose, and building an organization that attracts both clients and top-tier therapists. From navigating the depths of the ocean to navigating the complexities of mental health care, Marcus's story is an inspiring reminder of what it means to lead with resilience, purpose, and relentless self-growth.Website-www.gentlemanstylepodcast.com Social Media Links/Handles-https://www.facebook.com/gentlemansvizion/https://www.instagram.com/gentlemanstylepodcast/?hl=en

In this episode, we dive into the story behind Discipline Child — a wildly custom 1955 Volkswagen Beetle owned by Cali Springer, originally from the Virgin Islands. What began as a simple inquiry about fuel injection turned into a one-of-a-kind build by Alvin Lawrence of Auto Fanatic, also hailing from the islands. This isn't your typical classic VW Beetle. Discipline Child features a Subaru engine swap, full air suspension, electric air conditioning sourced from a Tesla, and a top-tier custom sound system. The level of craftsmanship and attention to detail reflects the dedication and discipline it took to see this project through to the end. From the island roots to the custom Budnik wheels, this car blends old-school air-cooled Volkswagen soul with cutting-edge modern tech — and it's all done in true island style. If you're passionate about vintage VWs, air-cooled culture, and radical custom builds, this is an episode you don't want to miss. Cali Springer is also the promoter for the VI bug out. We also take some time to discuss the VI bug out! An insane Vw show that takes place in St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. Happening this year 2025 December 28 through January 1.

David Vargas was a f**k-up.As a teenager in Santa Ana, Calif., the devil tapped him on the shoulder every day. Without a clear direction in life, he started smoking marijuana, which quickly turned into doing all the drugs: Cocaine, ecstacy, ketamine, and more. Drugs were the only thing David believed he was good at.Until, one day, he prepared a fried bologna sandwich for his friends while they were high. David realized then that maybe cooking was something he could pursue professionally.

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Freedom wasn't granted—it was seized through blood, sweat, and unwavering resistance. Across the Dutch and Danish Caribbean colonies, enslaved Africans fought against brutal systems of oppression that are often overshadowed in mainstream historical narratives focused on British, Spanish, and French colonial powers.When thousands gathered in St. Croix on July 2nd, 1848, led by freedom fighter General Buddhoe (Moses Gottlieb), they weren't asking politely for their liberation. They threatened to burn Frederiksted to the ground, forcing the Danish governor to declare immediate emancipation. This powerful act of collective resistance is why July 3rd remains sacred in the U.S. Virgin Islands, commemorated through Freedom Week celebrations that honor ancestral sacrifice and triumph.Meanwhile, in the Dutch Caribbean territories like Suriname, Curaçao, and Aruba, emancipation arrived decades later in 1863—and even then with the cruel stipulation that the formerly enslaved would be required to work an additional decade on the plantations where they had suffered. This delayed freedom, finally realized in 1873, is now celebrated as "Keti Koti" (the chain is broken), a powerful testament to resilience against Dutch colonial brutality. The colonial footprints of the Netherlands and Denmark—alongside brief periods of Swedish and Portuguese occupation—remain etched in Caribbean legal systems, languages, demographics, and collective consciousness. By amplifying these overlooked histories, we honor the full spectrum of Caribbean resistance and recognize that every Emancipation Day represents a hard-won victory by those who refused to accept bondage as their fate. Our ancestors' struggle for dignity continues to illuminate our path forward.Support the showConnect with Strictly Facts - Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube | Website Looking to read more about the topics covered in this episode?

L'histoire des sociétés secrètes modernes commence dans l'Allemagne du début du XVIIe siècle avec la circulation de manifestes mystérieux qui annoncent l'existence d'une confrérie invisible aux pouvoirs prodigieux. Ses membres affirment être en mesure de sauver l'Europe d'une destruction imminente. Cette révélation se répand comme une traînée de poudre : c'est la « révolution Rose-Croix » qui embrase en quelques années le continent tout entier. Depuis quatre siècles, l'intérêt pour ces confréries n'a jamais faibli et l'emblématique phénix renaît sans cesse de ses cendres.Des premiers Rose-Croix aux actuels Anonymous, en passant par les Francs-maçons, les Illuminati, les Carbonari, les sinistres membres du Ku Klux Klan, la Loge P2 ou QAnon, tous se revendiquent maîtres des secrets. Pierre-Yves Beaurepaire, spécialiste de l'histoire de la franc-maçonnerie, nous raconte ce monde où les limites entre réalité et fiction s'estompent en une source intarissable d'intrigues, de scénarios improbables ou de fake news.L'auteur, l'historien Pierre-Yves Beaurepaire, est avec nous en studioDistribué par Audiomeans.

Si vous avez envie de mettre un pied dans chaque pays, attention, certaines destinations sont plus dangereuses que d'autres. Safeture, une plateforme dédiée à l'alerte des risques en temps réel, a justement publié une carte des pays les plus dangereux pour les touristes en 2024. En 2024, la destination la plus déconseillée, c'est Haïti, et plus particulièrement sa capitale Port-au-Prince. L'environnement sécuritaire est encore très instable. En cause, fin février 2024, le pénitencier national et la prison de Croix des Bouquets ont été la cible d'attaques qui ont conduit à l'évasion d'un très grand nombre de détenus. Le site du Ministère de l'Europe et des affaires étrangères avertissait en avril 2024 que la situation sécuritaire était encore très préoccupante et que le risque d'enlèvement, entre autres, restait très élevé.  Quels sont les trois pays les plus dangereux pour voyager ? Quelles mesures prendre si je veux quand même me déplacer dans ces pays ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez".

RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott kick off Episode 340 with an emotional twist — Hotshot is moving from Snoqualmie to Sammamish, leaving behind years of memories, including the house where his daughter was raised. The two reflect on the sentimentality of leaving home and Scott's surprising inability to cry… except maybe after a World Series loss. The conversation pivots to the 340 area code — the U.S. Virgin Islands — leading to a trivia-filled celebration of Kelsey Grammer, Tim Duncan, Sugar Ray Seales, and Dave Matthews. Mitch connects the dots between obscure sports facts and Seattle's ties to musical legends, including a memorable story about Dave Matthews' tour bus incident. Steve Phillips joins to break down Cal Raleigh's MVP case. Raleigh's home run pace, elite defense, and the grueling Seattle travel schedule all contribute to a narrative that may rival Aaron Judge's candidacy — if Cal keeps up the pace and the M's stay in the playoff hunt. Hughes Norton stops by to revisit his rollercoaster ride as Tiger Woods' original super-agent. From landing the record-setting Nike and Titleist deals to being fired over the phone with no closure, Norton shares never-before-heard behind-the-scenes drama from his memoir Rainmaker. Mariners No-Table with Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle returns. The guys react to a rollercoaster road trip, Joe's doomsday texts, and Cal's MVP surge. They debate whether Julio Rodriguez can be “just a singles hitter,” how much value Randy Arozarena has left, and what it'll take to reach the postseason.   GUESTS Steve Phillips | MLB Network & SiriusXM Analyst Hughes Norton | Author, Rainmaker Brady Farkas | Mariners No-Table, Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast Joe Doyle | Mariners No-Table, MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst   TABLE OF CONTENTS 0:00 | Mitch grills Hotshot on taking time off to move.

This week, i do an archaelogical dig into 160 years of baseball history in Minnesota. In many ways, Minnesota was an early leader in team sports being played before large crowds, when the Dakota and Ojibwe tribes would play native lacrosse games, as far back as the 1600's, long before European settlers arrived. As for baseball, their timeline stretches back to 1857, when citizens from the town of Nininger, establish the first baseball team in state history. Soon after the conclusion of the American Civil War, various teams begin to sprout up in the Land Of 10,000 Lakes, most notably in Minneapolis-St. Paul, as well as many outlier towns like Red Wing, Fairbault, Minnehaha, St. Croix and Hastings, riding the wave of the young sport's growth and popularity. 160 years later, the region's baseball history continues to be written by the Minnesota Twins, who bring the Major League brand to the state in 1961, after Calvin Griffith and the Washington Senators relocate to the Twin-Cities. I also present the history and construction of their current Home ballpark. Target Field, which stands as a testament to the Twins vision of providing a cathedral, that is not only on the cutting edge of baseball stadium aesthetics and functionality, but also for sustainable practices. Demonstrating a commitment to enviromental responsibility, and providing an inspiration to the Twins fans, to be champions for the very planet that sustains us all. #NinningerNine #NorthStarBaseBallClub #IgnatiusDonnelly #CaptainRolinOllin #VermillionClubOfHastings #MinneapolisNine #RedWingCrescentClub #SaxonNine #OlympicNine #BanJohnson #CharlesComiskey #LexingtonPark #AthleticPark #NicolletPark #MetropolitanStadium #HubertHumphreyMetroDome #TargetField #RodCarew #HarmonKillebrew #MudcatGrant #TonyOliva #LymonBostick #KentHrbek #KirbyPucket #JoeMauer #MikeKelly

Nous sommes le 16 février 1965. Yvonne Nèvejean est déclarée « Juste parmi les Nations », un statut honorifique attribué à celles et ceux qui ont sauvé des Juifs pendant la Shoah au péril de leur vie. Cette distinction, instaurée deux ans plus tôt, est un témoignage de la reconnaissance du peuple juif, comme le souligne la mention : « Quiconque sauve une vie, sauve l'univers tout entier ». Pourtant, à l'époque, l'événement est à peine médiatisé : pas un seul article dans la presse belge. Cette reconnaissance couronne pourtant des années d'engagement à la tête de l'Œuvre Nationale de l'Enfance (ONE), dont Yvonne Nèvejean fut la première directrice générale dès 1940. Ce qui l'amena, durant l'Occupation, à utiliser sa position pour organiser le sauvetage de milliers d'enfants juifs. Elle a également joué un rôle crucial dans la Résistance en cachant des archives de services de renseignement et des messages destinés au gouvernement de Londres. Elle sera d'ailleurs reconnue comme « Agent de renseignement et d'action » et décorée de la Croix de guerre ainsi que de celle de Chevalier de l'Ordre de Léopold Après la Libération, Yvonne Nèvejean continue de se mobiliser pour l'enfance, au niveau national et international jusqu'à sa retraite en 1968 et s'efforcera, avec obstination, jusqu'aux dernières années de sa vie, à délivrer un message de paix et de tolérance. Un engagement exemplaire dont il ne faut toutefois pas taire les zones d'ombres, revenons sur le parcours d'Yvonne Nèvejean… Avec nous : Romane Carmon, historienne, autrice deaux éditions Racine.

[SPONSORISÉ] On lui a décerné la Distinguished Service Cross, l'une des plus hautes distinctions américaines. La France l'a honorée de la Croix de guerre et l'a faite chevalier de la Légion d'honneur. Parfaite incarnation de la résilience, Virginia Hall, alias “La dame qui boîte” pour les nazis, a défié la Gestapo en France, dirigé un réseau de résistance de 1 500 personnes, organisé des parachutages d'armes, fait sauter des voies ferrées, libéré des prisonniers, et traversé les Pyrénées en pleine hiver… tout cela avec une jambe de bois. Et pourtant, comme beaucoup d'autres figures féminines, l'Histoire semble l'avoir oubliée.

In this episode of the Ag Tribes Report, host Vance Crowe welcomes crop consultant Joel Ailts from St. Croix, Wisconsin to discuss the intricacies of soil microbiology and regenerative farming practices.

Marcus Musa Norman is a dynamic serial entrepreneur, podcast host, and U.S. Navy veteran who brings a unique blend of discipline, innovation, and passion to every venture he touches. Hailing from St. Croix in the Caribbean and now based in Virginia Beach, Marcus is the co-owner and operations manager of Lifeologie Counseling Hampton Roads, a rapidly growing mental health franchise. He is also the voice behind the Gentleman Style Podcast, where he interviews experts on unconventional paths to wealth and personal growth. With a background that spans real estate, cannabis dispensaries, and ATM businesses, Marcus's journey from military service to business leadership offers invaluable lessons for aspiring entrepreneurs147. On this episode we talk about: – How Marcus made his first dollar as a 10-year-old grocery store bagger and his most recent dollar as a mental health franchise owner – The transition from starting businesses from scratch to buying into a franchise model – The unique challenges and opportunities in the mental health industry, including scaling a new franchise and expanding into prescription management – Marcus's diverse entrepreneurial ventures, including real estate, ATM portfolios, and cannabis dispensaries with cutting-edge technology – The power of podcasting as a platform for learning, networking, and uncovering alternative investment strategies Top 3 Takeaways 1. Diversify your income streams: Marcus's journey shows that building wealth often means exploring multiple business models—from real estate and cannabis to mental health franchises—rather than relying solely on traditional investments. 2. Leverage your background and network: Skills honed in the military, such as leadership and adaptability, can be powerful assets in entrepreneurship. Strategic networking—like connecting with franchise brokers—can open doors to new opportunities. 3. Education and intentionality are key: Whether investing in alternative assets or starting a business, continuous learning and a clear plan are essential. Don't just avoid 401(k)s or traditional paths—educate yourself and act with purpose.
