Sherman Dumas and Dr. Jaquet Dumas share God's incredible plan to release revival, reformation, and cultural transformation through our families. (J2804_FFT)

On this episode we're joined by Dr. Ashley Dumas, the Professor of Anthropology at the University of West Alabama. We are all fascinated by the Native American artifacts we often find on our hunting properties and hearing how they thrived in the wilderness. How did they hunt, forage, fish, make tools, set up villages and camps? Dr. Dumas explains fascinating aspects of the culture of the Native Americas. Listen, Learn and Enjoy. If you enjoyed this Gamekeeper episode, send the guys a message and don't forget to include your contact info so we can reach you if you win a prize!

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Peter Becker from the  Biomedical Center Munich about his successful career in Epigenetics, where he discovered the chromatin remodeler ISWI and dosage compensation complex MOF. Dr. Becker shares thoughts about his postdoctoral work with Carl Wu, where he developed embryo extract systems for studying chromatin assembly and transcription. He explains how work on Drosophila extracts led to the purification of ATP-dependent remodeling factors, including ISWI-related complexes, and how these studies showed that such factors slide nucleosomes and help organize chromatin. We also cover his move to EMBL and later to Munich, where his lab expanded into dosage compensation in Drosophila. He describes work on the MSL complex targeting, MRE sequences, ROX RNA, DNA shape features, and how biochemical reconstitution was used to study how the complex recognizes the X chromosome. Finally, we discuss his later work on TIP-60 and histone acetylation, including acetylome studies, and his reflections on leadership roles at EMBL and on the use of the term epigenetics. He emphasizes that epigenetics should be understood as one layer among genetics, environment, and socialization, not as a replacement for genetics. References Tsukiyama, T., Becker, P. B., & Wu, C.

In this episode of Building Texas Business, Chris Hanslik sits down with Joey Evans, head of business development, government relations, and transportation technology at TNW Corporation, for a conversation about an industry that quietly keeps Texas - and the rest of America - running. Joey introduces listeners to the world of short-line railroading and explains how TNW's four Texas railroads, located in Gonzales, Dumas, Brownwood, and at the Port of Victoria, serve as the critical first and last mile of freight movement across the state.Joey breaks down how short-line railroads fit into the national transportation network, why one rail car effectively removes four trucks from the highway, and what makes TNW's operation distinctive - including its flagship Dumas facility, which has grown into the largest privately owned rail car storage facility in North America. He also shares how the company built its proprietary technology platform, MyTNW, to give customers real-time visibility into their entire fleet, and how TNW has continued to push innovation in an industry that has historically lagged behind when it comes to technology adoption.The conversation covers TNW's approach to customer relationships, strategic planning, and staying nimble in the face of shifting market conditions and geopolitical uncertainty. Joey also discusses his work as president of the Texas Shortline Railroad Association and the significance of newly passed state legislation that lays the groundwork for dedicated state funding to complement federal infrastructure grants - funding that could accelerate rail upgrades across Texas by years and help the state compete with neighboring states that already have these programs in place.Joey also speaks candidly about his own leadership journey, from starting as a railroad conductor with no college degree to growing into a strategic role, and how mentorship, faith, and a shift away from purely transactional thinking have shaped the leader he is today. He talks about the importance of building a personal brand early in a career, the value of servant leadership, and why asking for help is a sign of courage rather than weakness.For business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders interested in Texas infrastructure, economic growth, logistics, and what it takes to build a service-driven company with deep roots and long-term vision, this episode offers a compelling and eye-opening look at an industry that touches nearly everything - even if most people never think about it.LINKSShow NotesPrevious EpisodesAbout BoyarMillerAbout TNW Corporation

On this episode of the Arkansas Wildlife Podcast, host Trey Reid is joined by Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Deputy Director Brad Carner to discuss new hunting and wildlife management area (WMA) regulation changes in the upcoming biennial cycle (July 1, 2026–June 30, 2028), part of 218 total fishing and hunting code updates aimed at simplifying and standardizing rules. They explain cleanup of outdated or redundant regulations, highlight the new searchable online code book, and detail key deer-related changes including more uniform WMA season structures, a three-deer WMA bag limit (with unchanged statewide limit of six), an expanded and earlier three-day early archery buck hunt in late August, statewide classification of button bucks as antlerless, and allowing modern centerfire rifles in deer zones 4 and 5. They also cover elimination of most wildlife possession limits (except migratory birds) and announce new public hunting access at Oakwood WMA near Dumas and the Queen Wilhelmina State Park Conservation Area agreement.

From the beginning, the Hermes Family knew they were in the craftsmen business. Making products that last for generations. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [Wagmore Garage Doors Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here, along with Stephen Semple. And Stephen, just before he whispered the topic in, this tells you what Stephen thinks about me. He said, “Yeah. I’ll tell you this one, but I don’t think you’re going to know about it because it’s a really high-end fashion.” Yeah. Stephen Semple: It’s not exactly what I said. Dave Young: Not … Well, I’m telling the truth in a more powerful way. And as we call them in Nebraska, Hermès, but it’s Hermès. Say it for me. Stephen Semple: I think it’s Hermès because it’s French. Dave Young: Hermès? Hermès? Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Is the H pronounced at the beginning or not? I don’t know. Stephen Semple: I think it would be very soft. Dave Young: Scarves and things like that, that’s all I know. Stephen Semple: Well, the big thing they’re known for is handbags. Dave Young: Things I don’t own is what they’re known for. Stephen Semple: Correct. Dave Young: And I will admit you were absolutely right to think that I probably don’t know a whole lot about these people or this brand. Stephen Semple: The more I looked into this company, the more interested I got on it because I got fascinated by some of the history. Dave Young: I got to share with you just how much I don’t know about them. You see this shirt I’m wearing as we record? Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: This is from the fishing department at Walmart. Not the men’s clothing section. Fishing. And I- Stephen Semple: And, Dave- Dave Young: Here’s the other thing. Stephen Semple: Dave, you don’t fish, dude. Dave Young: I don’t fish. No, I don’t. I don’t fish at all. I stumbled across these shirts one time. I’m like, “I love these shirts.” But yeah, anyway, they’re not Hermès. Stephen Semple: So this is a really interesting company. It was founded in 1837 by Thierry Hermès. And he’s a German-born craftsman. And the company started in Paris. Now, what makes it super rare is here we are, close to 190 years later, and it’s still primarily owned by direct descendants of Thierry. Dave Young: Wow. Stephen Semple: There you go, Dave. Dave Young: Okay. That’s pretty cool. That’s a family business. Stephen Semple: That’s interesting on its own, isn’t it? Dave Young: Mm-hmm. Stephen Semple: So the family owns somewhere between 65 and 70% of the business, and is publicly traded at around a valuation of about $200 billion. Dave Young: That’s a lot of billion. Stephen Semple: That’s a couple of billion, isn’t it? Dave Young: Yeah. Wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: They only have like 70% of that 200 billion, so … Dave Young: Oh. Well, just downgraded their jet. Stephen Semple: Yeah. That’s it. So in 2010, the luxury giant LVMH tried to take the company over, and the family blocked it. There was a time where they tried to take over. And the CEO, Axel Dumas, is a sixth generation member of the Hermès family. So today, they have 300 stores. They do 14 billion EU, which is about 16 billion US in sales, which means they sell $50 million per store. Dave Young: I was going to say that’s not very many stores. Stephen Semple: No. And put in perspective, Gucci does about 25 million. Prada does half of that. Tiffany’s does about 15 million per store. $50 million per store. Dave Young: It’s got to be a front for something else. Stephen Semple: Now, their big product, so we talked about … Is this handbag called the Birkin bag. And the Birkin bag sells for anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000 per bag. Dave Young: Get out of town. Stephen Semple: Yeah. And often sells for more- Dave Young: Is it bottomless? Can you crawl into it? Stephen Semple: Seemingly, it’s a pretty big bag. I personally- Dave Young: Will it transport you to other dimensions? Stephen Semple: I personally have never known anybody who’s had one, so I can’t really comment. Dave Young: No. No. I just want to touch one. Stephen Semple: And here’s the other crazy thing, is they often sell for more on the secondary market. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Why not? Stephen Semple: They’re super- Dave Young: Because they only make a couple of them, or enough to sell. Stephen Semple: They’re super scarce. You cannot walk into a store and buy one. There’s a waiting list. Dave Young: Wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: Even celebrities, doesn’t matter who you are, have to get on the waiting list. They’ve really leaned into this whole idea of scarcity. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: They’ve really leaned into it. Dave Young: How many billion dollars worth of scarcity? Stephen Semple: Oh, in terms of their sales? Dave Young: 300 stores. And how much per store? Stephen Semple: Well, 50 million a store. Dave Young: It doesn’t feel like scarcity, but when the handbags are 10,000 and up … Wow. Stephen Semple: And to this day, the leather bags use the original hand saddle stitching. Every bag is made by one person, beginning to end, handcrafted. Their scarves, which are also really known for, are hand screen printed. The edges are all hand rolled. And the CEO personally signs off on every product. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: So there is this real high level of craftsmanship with it. So Thierry was born in 1801 in Krefeld, Germany. And at the time, that part of Germany was under the control of Bonaparte, which made him a French citizen. So that’s why though he was German-born, French citizen. Dave Young: Oh. Okay. Stephen Semple: And the town was known for textiles and was considered the city of velvet and silk. And in 1821, most of his family had died of famine and disease due to the war. So he moved to Normandy, where he learned the art of saddle and harness making under the Palmieri family. 1828, he married. And in 1837, he moved to Paris and opened an equestrian supply store. I’m going to butcher this. Dave Young: Of course you are. Stephen Semple: Rue Basse-du-Rempart. Dave Young: You said it perfectly. Stephen Semple: Okay. There we go. There, he made bridals, harnesses, carriage fittings using leather and wrought iron, right? And he became famous for a particularly strong saddle stitch that basically uses this opposite stitching. If one of the stitches broke, the other held. Dave Young: Now, here’s what I know about horses in Paris. Stephen Semple: Okay. Dave Young: Ain’t no cowboys over there. So again, this is the rich folk doing equestrian things and pulling carriages. Stephen Semple: That’s it. It was a mode of transportation. Dave Young: Yeah. The average folk are walking around the streets of Paris. Stephen Semple: Correct. Correct. It was the nobility who had horses and carriages. Now, that original stitch is still the stitch that’s being used today. Dave Young: Hey, if it works. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So this stitch is important to the history because to your point, horses and carriages were a mode of transportation. And, look, the roads were rough. Transportation was rough. So durability was really important. And his skill attracted the nobility. People like Eugénie, the wife of Napoleon III. So Thierry went on to win several medals for this design and his work. And he became known because his stitching did not break, the leather aged beautifully, and the workmanship was flawless under stress. So he died in 1878. And his son, Charles-Émile, took over. And like his dad, he was dedicated to this quality. The business expanded. They started creating more products, including these really large bags that could actually carry a saddle and the boots, right? Because- Dave Young: Wow. Okay. That is a big bag. Stephen Semple: Right? Because if you had a horse and you’re showing up, you take the saddle, you take the boots off, right? Dave Young: Yeah. Yeah. Stephen Semple: And it’s really considered the forerunner to this big handbag that they make today. So you’re asking, “Is it big?” It’s a big handbag. So the business growing. Dave Young: Everything but the horse. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Everything but the horse. That’s it. So the business is growing. The prestige is growing. They’re making these products for the horse and carriage industry. Then Charles travels to Canada. Dave Young: Oh. Okay. Stephen Semple: Okay. And he comes across this unique fastening system that’s being used for the canvas roof of the convertible Cadillac. It was a zipper. Dave Young: Oh. Yeah. The zipper. Uh-huh. Stephen Semple: So he took the idea back to France, and he applied for a patent to use the idea, and thus was born the Hermès fastener. It was innovative at the time. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: By the end- Dave Young: But it was a zipper? Stephen Semple: It’s a zipper. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: But it’s not a zipper. It’s the Hermès fastener. Dave Young: It’s the Hermès fastener. Yes. Get it right. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So by the end of World War II … This is another important part in terms of innovation because think about how many businesses that served the carriage trade that died. Dave Young: Well, sure. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right? Dave Young: Because once we started all using cars and … I’m also thinking, man, this German-owned business in Paris in World War II, that’s got to be a tricky road to- Stephen Semple: Well, we’re not at World War II yet. End of World War I. Dave Young: Okay. Into World War- Stephen Semple: Into World War I. Dave Young: Oh, yeah. Okay. Kind of the same. Stephen Semple: He realizes that the car is going to take off. He notices the car. But what he also realizes, it’s a faster form of transportation. So it requires stronger materials and better fasteners because remember, the early cars didn’t have trunks that you put things in. You put a trunk on the back of the car and attached it all with fasteners. Dave Young: Right. So you need a trunk that could withstand being outdoors while a car drives it around. Stephen Semple: Correct. They did a collaboration with Bugatti where Bugatti commissioned a yellow trunk and yellow cowhide to match the first Bugatti Royale. Dave Young: Wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: Right. So this is a interesting thing. They did not change their business for the car. They refocused it. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off. And trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: So this is a interesting thing. They did not change their business for the car. They refocused it. They leaned into the things they were already good at. And I think this is important because how many companies, again, were unable to pivot to the automobile business? Dave Young: I think of all the things in a car. Yeah. Eventually, we figured out we could actually put a trunk in the car instead of- Stephen Semple: Eventually. Dave Young: … carrying it on top. But you’ve also got all the upholstery, maybe the dashboard, maybe the steering wheel that would be wrapped in leather and need some fine stitching. So there’s lots of things that you could still do that show off your skill and your dedication to this kind of quality. Stephen Semple: Right. They didn’t ask, “What do we need to do differently?” They asked, “Where does their craftsmanship still matter?” Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: That’s the question they asked. Where does our craftsmanship still matter? Dave Young: And they realized that’s the business they were in, was craftsmanship and making things well. Stephen Semple: This is an important distinction to keep in mind that comes later. So 1922, they added their first handbag basically when Émile’s wife, she was like, “I’d like a scaled down version of this thing that you put boots and saddles in.” Dave Young: Don’t really need to carry my boots, but … Stephen Semple: But travel was also expanding at this time, so the handbags started becoming a needed accessory. 1950s, they added their orange box. So they took probably … And I’m going to guess they probably took inspiration from Tiffany’s Blue Box, and they created this orange box. Now, here’s an important part of the company’s history. It’s 1978. And Jean-Louis Dumas, the great-great-great-grandson of Thierry has taken over the company. And the company was stagnating. They still had loyal customers, but not enough of them. And here’s the advice that was given to them by investment bankers. Cut production costs by outsourcing production. Dave Young: Of course that’s the advice that was given to them by investment bankers. Stephen Semple: How many times we heard that advice? Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: But what was their DNA? Craftsmanship. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: And, look, everybody will say, “Oh, you can outsource it, and you’ll still have the same quality.” He knew that to not to be true. He knew he would never be able to maintain quality the moment he did that. So how many companies would have resisted this? I don’t know of any others. I’m sure there’s others. But that was a big moment. And he said, “No, we’re not doing that.” Instead, what he decided to do was something that they rarely did, advertise. Dave Young: Yeah. Okay. Stephen Semple: But here’s what they did. They decide to advertise something different. It’s 1979. And they launched this campaign showing edgy, young … Remember, ’79. Edgy, young Parisian women wearing silk Hermès scarves, not in haute couture, wearing jeans. Dave Young: Yeah. There you go. Stephen Semple: Fits, but doesn’t fit. Picked a scarf. Expensive, but pretty much anybody could purchase. And all of a sudden, this accessory that made the jeans and everything look awesome. Where did you get that scarf? Dave Young: You could dress down, but people would still know. Stephen Semple: Bingo. Dave Young: I also think … I don’t know if this had a part in it or not, but that’s the era of Robin Leach’s Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Stephen Semple: Right. There you go. Dave Young: And so people had a fascination with this kind of thing there because of that show, right? That was always an interesting one to watch and to make fun of Robin Lynch, Leach, Robin Leach. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Leach. Yeah. So here’s the thing you could do. You could put on your jeans, you could put on a nice shirt, you could put on that scarf, and you’re looking like a Parisian model. They sold a crap ton of the scarfs. What they also knew is selling the scarves, people are now in their store, they’re going to see other things. Dave Young: Yeah. They’re going to start to want that bag. Stephen Semple: The advertising campaign was shocking. Dave Young: Really? Stephen Semple: Because it was just … Well, it was never done before. It was never this super high-end fashion going there. They were the first to do it. It was shocking, but changed the trajectory of the company. We could do a whole episode just on the scarves and the history of the handbags in terms of the things that they did for promoting it. But what I loved was he looked at it and he said, “There’s another option other than dropping production costs. What we need to do is we need to find new customers. How are we going to find new customers? We’re going to find new customers by reaching down, but we’re not going to reach down by making our products cheaper. We’re going to reach down by finding a product that if somebody really wants, they … Sure, $300, $400 scarf is crazy expensive, but can buy. And we’re going to make it glamorous. And, look, if we sell a whole pile of those scarves, we’re doing well.” Dave Young: So I may be wrong on this, but here’s what my Spidey-sense tells me. Who stole the idea of the DNA of the Hermès ads in the ’70s to repeat that thing where it’s, “We can make this expensive product desirable. And everybody will want it”? Stephen Semple: Ralph Lauren. Dave Young: Now I’m thinking iPods. Stephen Semple: Except he’s not expensive. Dave Young: I’m thinking iPod. The iPod. Stephen Semple: iPods. Interesting. Interesting. Dave Young: Thousand songs in your pocket. And the ads were sort of this every person with the white cord and the AirPods. Stephen Semple: Interesting. Interesting. Dave Young: But that’s the same notion, right? Stephen Semple: It is the same notion. Dave Young: This is the one little expensive thing that you can have and just make your life better. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Well, it’s that whole idea of an indulgence. Dave Young: Mm-hmm. Absolutely. Stephen Semple: Right? This is an indulgence. I can go and I can treat myself. I will feel better. It’s special. It’s all these other things. And it’s that moment where you’re sort of like … It’s that whole idea of it’s an indulgence. And they figured out how to stay true to what they do. They still make the super expensive stuff, but were able to reach down into more mainstream, which is where you need to be in order to be successful long term. Dave Young: Yeah. You just want the people to really want the one thing. This is a great story. And now I’m wondering what color of Hermès cravat would go well with my Walmart fishing shirt. But here’s the problem. Here’s the problem. Stephen Semple: There’s so many problems. Dave Young: No. No. Well, I don’t even know where one of their stores is. So that’s probably by design. They don’t want me to know where one of their stores is. Stephen Semple: Where they will be- Dave Young: I’d wander around and touch things. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Where they would be would be in, again, the really super high-end malls [inaudible 00:18:49]. Dave Young: If you find a Tiffany store, you’ve found the Hermès store. Stephen Semple: You have. You have. But it’s funny because anytime I’ve known about the company, I’ve never really researched it because it was not- Dave Young: I’ve seen the name before. I’ve seen the name. Wondered how you pronounced it until fairly recently. Yeah. Stephen Semple: And seen the name, know about it. Then I came across a few things. And then literally how I got interested in it, I was researching Tiffany’s, and there was a little book on Tiffany’s that had some information in it that I thought I could use for the Tiffany’s episode. I bought the book, and Amazon said, “Those who have bought that book have also bought-“ Dave Young: Also like. Yeah. Hermès. Stephen Semple: “… this book.” Right? So I was like, “Oh, what the heck? Let’s add that to the cart.” Dave Young: Yeah. There you go. Stephen Semple: So I added it to the cart. And then I started reading through it, and I was like, “Wow. This is actually a really interesting company.” Dave Young: Very cool. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So I sort of stumbled across it kind of by accident. Dave Young: What’s the scarf cost? It’s got to be less than the leather bag. Stephen Semple: Oh, yes. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: So … Stephen Semple: I’m going to guess they’re three, $400. Dave Young: Okay. I’m just saying for the guys out there, this is one of those sleeper gifts, right? Get her a scarf from Hermès. Stephen Semple: I just Googled it. Canadian. They run from $500 to 750 bucks. Dave Young: Yeah. Yeah. I’m not saying do that instead of jewelry or something, but that’s a nice one you didn’t think of. Stephen Semple: It’s a special thing. Dave Young: Yeah. And she’s going to know more about it than you probably. Stephen Semple: And I remember doing the research on it. I was looking at them. They are beautiful and they’re all hand rolled and they are actually pretty spectacular. Dave Young: Awesome. All right. Hermès. Hermès. Hermès. Hermès. Hermès. Stephen Semple: Let’s go with Hermès. That sounds great. Dave Young: Hermès. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Hermès. Dave Young: It doesn’t sound quite as- Stephen Semple: I actually think if we’re probably going to … I think if we’re going to really do it correctly, it’s Hermès, I bet you. It’s just like … That H is just like- Dave Young: Hermès. Hermès is a diner somewhere, but- Stephen Semple: Just poking it. Dave Young: Hermès. Thank you for bringing us the Hermès story to the Empire Builders Podcast, Stephen. Stephen Semple: All right. Thanks, David.

Nous sommes le 12 août 1838. Alexandre Dumas est en visite à Anvers. C'est là qu'il prend la pleine mesure de l'œuvre de Rubens et se découvre une proximité de tempérament avec le génie du baroque. Deux ans plus tard, exilé à Florence, l'écrivain se voit confier la rédaction des portraits de peintres pour la Galerie des Offices. Il se met donc à écrire, entre autre, sur le flamand et s'intéresse aux tableaux que celui-ci a réalisé d'après les commandes de Marie de Médicis, reine de France et de Navarre, épouse d'Henri IV. Chemin faisant, il s'intéresse à Louis XIII, fils d'Henri IV et de Marie de Médicis et mais aussi au Duc de Buckingham, un proche de Rubens… Et l'on peut lire, ainsi, en genèse, quelques éléments fondamentaux qui donneront, quelques années plus tard, l'un des monuments de la littérature mondiale : « Les trois mousquetaires ». Ce que Dumas doit à Rubens, c'est la leçon du jour … Sujets traités : Alexandre Dumas, Rubens, écrivain, Marie de Médicis, Henri IV, mousquetaire Avec nous : Jean-François Viot, maître en lettres romanes et en études théâtrales. Spécialiste d'Alexandre Dumas, père, auteur de « Gustave et Alexandre » ( adaptation pour le théâtre des Mémoires d'Alexandre Dumas) et du commentaire de l'ouvrage de Dumas « Rubens » sorti réédité par les éditions du CEP.

Au XIXe siècle, les écrivains romantiques développèrent un véritable goût pour l'Histoire. Ce fut le cas d'Alexandre Dumas qui, petit-fils d'une esclave haïtienne, devint bientôt l'un des plus grands écrivains français. Ses romans feuilletons tenaient au fil des épisodes leurs lecteurs en haleine. Le premier, et le plus grand de ses succès, est inspiré de la vie de Charles de Batz de Castelmore d'Artagnan, au XVIIe siècle. C'est bien sûr… Les Trois Mousquetaires!

Rachell Dumas, MSN, RN, is a nurse informaticist, health tech founder, and health advocate whose path into nursing began with a single anatomy class and whose journey into innovation began with nearly losing her life. After a four-year struggle through nine pregnancy losses, she finally welcomed a baby boy. Six months later, she woke up unable to see. When she arrived at the emergency department with acute vision loss and stroke symptoms, she was sent home with an antacid. As a neuro ICU nurse, she knew something was catastrophically wrong. She went to a second ED, got the CT scan, and eventually received a diagnosis: idiopathic intracranial hypertension. It took two brain surgeries to treat it. And in the space between dismissal and diagnosis, HEARD was born.  HEARD is a health technology platform that gives patients the language, tools, and confidence to advocate for themselves in real time: translating medical jargon, documenting incidents, facilitating better conversations with providers, and connecting users to second opinions and legal support when needed. Rachell makes the case that nurses aren't just caregivers, they are uniquely positioned to see the gaps in healthcare and to build the solutions that close them.    For more information on the podcast bundles, visit ANA's Innovation Website at: https://www.nursingworld.org/practice-policy/innovation/education.

Dans son ouvrage, Juliette Mita crée un espace de rencontre entre rap et littérature et fait dialoguer rappeurs et auteurs pour montrer comment leurs univers se répondent et s'enrichissent mutuellement. Sur son compte Instagram Mots Croizés, la journaliste Juliette Mita, influenceuse-entremetteuse, forme des couples improbables en associant rappeurs et auteurs canoniques de la littérature : Shay et Sagan, Jul et Maupassant, Orelsan et Kafka, autant de duos délibérément iconoclastes qui suggèrent une certaine porosité entre les arts. À ceux qui ne jurent que par « Réda », trilogie de titres où le rappeur Lacrim déroule un sanglant récit de vengeance, elle conseille la lecture du Comte de Monte-Cristo. Trahison, incarcération, rétribution : les deux textes présentent en effet, dans les grandes lignes, des trames similaires. D'après Juliette Mita, cette démarche de comparaison vise davantage à sortir Dumas de la naphtaline qu'à légitimer Lacrim. Le rap est légitime selon ses propres codes, et c'est plutôt lui qui pourrait nous permettre d'appréhender des œuvres dont la langue a vieilli. Car le rap est bien « l'expression la plus évoluée de la littérature », dernier héritier d'une longue tradition d'écriture qui traverse aussi bien le roman du XIXè siècle que la chanson à texte de Léonard Cohen et Léo Ferré… La littérature est, à l'origine, orale, et le rap, slamé, scandé, déclamé, nous le rappelle l'autrice.  Un dialogue plus qu'une filiation Pour autant, les rappeurs ne sont pas les disciples des écrivains et n'ont aucun devoir de s'intéresser à la littérature. Juliette Mita ne parle ni d'inspiration ni d'intertextualité : nul besoin de prétendre que Dinos a lu Duras pour rapprocher Les pleurs du mal de La douleur. Invitée : Juliette Mita est journaliste et fondatrice de @MotsCroizés.  Son ouvrage Rap : littérature 2.0 est publié aux éditions Leduc.    Et comme chaque mercredi, Lucie Bouteloup s'amuse à décortiquer pour nous, les expressions de la langue française. Cette semaine c'est l'expression « Être fleur bleue » une expression poétique. Avec Benjamin Rouxel des éditions Le Robert.   Programmation musicale :  Les artistes : Zuukou Mayzie et Oxmo Puccino avec le titre Dune 2.

Une île sauvage, interdite, chargée de légendes… et un écrivain qui, sans jamais y poser le pied, va en faire le décor du plus grand roman d'aventure du XIXe siècle. De Montecristo à Edmond Dantès, découvrez comment un simple rocher est devenu un mythe mondial.En 1842, l'écrivain Alexandre Dumas découvre l'île de Montecristo, un endroit mystérieux et légendaire qui deviendra le théâtre d'un de ses chefs-d'œuvre les plus célèbres : le Comte de Monte-Cristo.Franck Ferrand nous emmène sur les traces de Dumas, alors que ce dernier voyage en Italie avec le prince Napoléon. Fasciné par les récits de pirates et de trésors enfouis qui entourent cette île isolée et abrupte, l'auteur ne la visitera jamais, mais elle s'imposera dans son imagination comme le décor idéal pour tisser une intrigue romanesque épique.À travers la légende de San Mamiliano, moine ayant combattu un dragon, et les exploits du corsaire Dragut, Franck Ferrand dévoile les différentes couches historiques qui ont forgé la mystique de Montecristo. Cet héritage nourrit la créativité de Dumas, qui y puise l'inspiration pour son personnage d'Edmond Dantès, injustement emprisonné puis métamorphosé en Comte de Monte-Cristo, avide de vengeance.Avec son style enlevé et imagé, Franck Ferrand nous fait revivre les moments clés de la genèse de ce roman culte, de la contemplation fascinée de Dumas sur le navire à la découverte du légendaire trésor par Dantès.

Alexandre Dumas et Honoré de Balzac ne se sont pas simplement peu appréciés. Ils se sont profondément opposés, presque en tout. Leur hostilité s'est exprimée parfois publiquement, mais surtout sous forme de critiques, de piques et de rivalité idéologique que de véritables attaques frontales répétées. Une opposition profonde, mais rarement théâtralisée comme un duel ouvert.Ces deux géants du XIXe siècle incarnaient deux mondes incompatibles.D'abord, leur manière d'écrire les séparait radicalement. Balzac se voulait architecte. Il bâtissait une œuvre monumentale, La Comédie humaine, avec l'ambition de peindre la société française dans toute sa complexité. Il corrigeait sans cesse, retravaillait ses textes jusqu'à l'épuisement, noyait ses éditeurs sous les épreuves raturées. Dumas, lui, écrivait vite, beaucoup, avec panache. Il privilégiait l'élan, l'efficacité, le plaisir du récit. Là où Balzac cherchait la profondeur psychologique et la vérité sociale, Dumas revendiquait le souffle, l'aventure, le théâtre du romanesque. Balzac voyait souvent en lui un amuseur plus qu'un grand écrivain.Leur mode de vie nourrissait aussi l'antagonisme. Balzac menait une existence tendue, laborieuse, presque monastique par moments. Il écrivait la nuit, buvait du café en quantités folles, croulait sous les dettes, mais travaillait avec une discipline acharnée. Dumas, au contraire, donnait l'image d'un homme débordant de vie, sociable, prodigue, flamboyant, entouré d'amis, de maîtresses, de collaborateurs. Cette aisance apparente irritait Balzac. Dumas paraissait réussir sans souffrir autant, ce qui, pour un homme aussi obsédé par le labeur que Balzac, avait quelque chose d'insupportable.Il y avait aussi la question, très sensible, de la fabrication des œuvres. Dumas travaillait avec des collaborateurs, notamment Auguste Maquet, qui participait à l'élaboration de plusieurs romans. Ce fonctionnement choquait Balzac, attaché à l'idée de l'écrivain comme créateur total, seul maître de sa phrase. Pour lui, Dumas industrialisait la littérature. Dumas, lui, assumait davantage une logique de production, adaptée à la presse et au feuilleton.Politiquement et socialement, ils différaient encore. Balzac était conservateur, monarchiste, fasciné par les hiérarchies sociales. Dumas, plus libéral d'esprit, plus mobile politiquement, incarnait une énergie populaire et un goût du large qui déplaisaient à Balzac. À cela s'ajoutait sans doute une forme de jalousie réciproque : Balzac pouvait mépriser le succès immense et immédiat de Dumas ; Dumas pouvait voir en Balzac un homme sombre, envieux, volontiers pontifiant.Au fond, Dumas et Balzac se heurtaient parce qu'ils représentaient deux définitions inconciliables de l'écrivain. L'un voulait saisir le réel dans toute son épaisseur. L'autre voulait emporter le lecteur. Deux génies, oui, mais deux génies faits pour se regarder de travers. Hébergé par Acast.

In this episode, Dave kicks things off with the story behind his April Model Aviation article, “From Trash to Treasure,” and finally shares the full tale behind the project that inspired it. From there, the guys dive into a wave of new releases hitting the RC world: Dynam's E‑2C Hawkeye with its rotating radar dome E‑flite's latest lineup — Beechcraft D18/RC‑45J 1.5m, V1200 1.2m, 2m Conscendo, and the new HobbyZone Trojan Motion RC's Flightline P‑51 HobbyKing's Tundra TPX 3D profile plane and the Durafly Brewster F2A Buffalo V2 Banana Hobby's massive JetRuler 1/9 F‑22 Raptor 2.1m composite turbine jet The conversation takes a reflective turn as the crew talks about Dumas closing its doors after 75 years — a tough loss for the hobby, especially for fans of their classic rubber-powered airplanes and iconic boat kits. Then it's on to swap‑meet season. The guys recap the Eli Swap Meet and why the small shows still deliver some of the best surprises and deals. With Toledo right around the corner, Ron shares the fleet he's bringing to sell — from the V‑22 Osprey and UMX Beast to the Freewing F‑35, FMS Explorer, and more — and debates whether it's finally time to pull receivers now that prices have dropped again.

Get your swords out, and buckle your swashes.  It's time to look at another Dumas classic, where we follow the life of a man imprisoned for illegally importing French letters into a foreign country.  From 2002 – which was apparently 24 years ago – it's THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO.Warning 1: A couple of sound issues, but we hope it's OK.  It is free, after all.Warning 2: There's a bit of fruity language at the start where we use the bad word – worse than “feck” – but if you get past that, we calm down after a couple of minutes. END CREDITS- Presented by Robert Johnson and Christopher Webb- Produced/edited by Christopher Webb- "Still Any Good?" logo designed by Graham Wood & Robert Johnson- Crap poster mock-up by Christopher Webb- Theme music ("The Slide Of Time") by The Sonic Jewels, used with kind permission(c) 2026 Tiger Feet ProductionsFind us:Twitter @stillanygoodpodInstagram @stillanygoodpodBluesky @stillanygood.bsky.socialEmail stillanygood@gmail.comSupport the show

Un million de morts, deux millions de personnes exilées, tout ça en quelques semaines. Une partie entière de la population est lynchée et mise à mort à la fois par l'État et par leurs propres voisins de palier. Qu'est ce qui a bien pu se passer au Rwanda en 1994 ? Comment une minorité, les Tutsis, se sont-ils retrouvés pris pour cible par leurs compatriotes ? Comment des attaques de plus en plus virulentes à la radio contre une population ont pu se transformer en campagnes de haine puis en appel au meurtre ? C'est aujourd'hui un épisode difficile de l'Histoire qu'on va aborder sur Nota Bene : le génocide des Tutsis au Rwanda, en 1994. Comme toujours, avec l'équipe mais aussi avec l'aide de spécialistes de la question et même de rescapés des massacres, on a tenté de prendre du recul sur ce qui s'est passé, de comprendre les raisons profondes de ce drame terrible et de voir quelles conséquences, ou pas, on en a tiré aujourd'hui. Bonne écoute !

 “You don't have to do it alone — but you better know your partners.” Discover how Ryan Dumas pulls back the curtain on how he acquired and structured over $50M+ in commercial real estate deals while personally raising millions in capital. Ryan shares the real story behind pivoting from traditional multifamily into mobile home parks, affordable housing, and niche business acquisitions — including an insurance platform that scaled from $3M to $10.5M EBITDA through operational improvements. He discusses the importance of JV equity structures, educating investors before pitching, protecting capital during market volatility, and why transparency during difficult deals builds long-term credibility. From navigating refinancing challenges and capital calls to identifying high-income professionals like dentists as ideal investor avatars, this conversation is a grounded, tactical masterclass on raising capital, structuring deals, and building partnerships that last. 5 Key Takeaways:Capital Raising Is Relationship-Driven, Not Pitch-Driven Zoom calls, personal follow-ups, and educating investors build trust far more effectively than mass emails or pitch decks alone. Operations Drive Returns More Than Hype Scaling an insurance business from $3M to $10.5M EBITDA highlighted how disciplined operations can dramatically increase enterprise value. Pivoting Asset Classes Is Sometimes Necessary With multifamily facing headwinds, Ryan shifted focus toward affordable housing, mobile home parks, and niche businesses with stronger cash-flow profiles. Transparency During Tough Times Builds Long-Term Credibility Open communication during capital calls and challenging deals strengthened investor relationships rather than weakening them. Conservative Underwriting and Proper Leverage Matter Stress-testing refinance assumptions, understanding debt service coverage, and putting more equity down can protect deals during volatile rate environments.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

Just in time for #BlackHistoryMonth #theegalenjwilliams out here converting ebonics to polite 18th-century gathering....Bahaha! The Count of Monte Cristo is being revisited by African American readers, who see it as a story of survival and excellence in a world designed to erase them. The book's themes of betrayal, political turmoil, and the pursuit of justice resonate with the experiences of black professionals navigating systemic barriers. The upcoming PBS adaptation and a Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Dumas are fueling a cultural reclamation of his heritage and a deeper appreciation for the novel's complexities.

We covered this historic and famous brothel back on Ep. 120 in 2016. This is one of the few haunted locations we have found in Montana and it is located in Butte. The town has its roots in mining and was known as the "Richest Hill on Earth." Gold, silver and copper were all mined here. As was the case with so many mining towns, a successful red light district grew within the town. One of the most successful and high-class brothels in town was the Dumas Brothel. Rich clientele could have their fantasies met here, but there was also pleasure for the working class in the basement, which ran like a sex mill. The brothel passed through many hands and has the reputation of being the longest running brothel in the country. And it seems that clients and the girls are still hanging out here in the afterlife. Several entities are thought to haunt this building. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Dumas Brothel!   Check out the website: http://historygoesbump.com Music used in this episode: Main Theme: Creepy Carnival Theme  Created and produced by History Goes Bump Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Other music in this episode: Title: "Marimba Marinade" Artist: Tim Kulig (timkulig.com) Licensed under Creative Commons By Attribution 4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0997280/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1
