My Story   Talk 27  More Activities in Europe Welcome to Talk 27 in our series where I'm reflecting on God's goodness to me throughout my life. Last time I was talking about our off-campus activities while we were at Mattersey. I began by talking about activities in Britain and concluded with our activities in Europe, particularly in connection with EPTA, the European Pentecostal Theological Association. Today we'll be saying more about Europe, first with regard to our activities in the Pentecostal European Fellowship, and then about my preaching in national leaders' conferences as well as in local churches. The Pentecostal European Fellowship As I have already explained, PEF was formed as a result of a merger between PEC and EPF. Little did I know when I accepted the invitation to preach at the PEC conference in 1978 that it would eventually lead not only to the founding of EPTA but also to a ministry within PEF itself, and ultimately to representing Europe on the Presidium of the Pentecostal World Conference. Because of my experience in Europe, I was first asked by the AoG Executive Council, as its chairman, to represent AoG on the PEF committee. Jakob Zopfi from Swtizerland had been its chairman for many years and, after Reinhold Ulonska retired as vice-chairman, the PEF Committee elected me to take his place. Major features of the work of PEF were the conferences it usually held once every three years. Thousands of people from all over Europe came to these conferences, though the majority on each occasion came from the country that was hosting it. Relatively few, however, came from the UK. This may have been because of the cost of crossing the channel, or even because the preaching was always done through an interpreter which English speaking people often find it hard to get used to. After preaching at the conference in The Hague in 1978, the next PEF conference we attended was in Böblingen near Stuttgart in 1984, but not in any official capacity. Eileen and I went on to attend conferences in Jönköping, (Sweden, 1991), Bordeaux (France, 1994), Fridek-Mistek (Czech Republic, 1997), Helsinki (Finland, 2000), and Berlin (Germany, 2003). There are many towns in Sweden with a name ending in -koping. It's connected with our English word shopping and is roughly equivalent to market. It was at Jönköping (pronounced yernsherping) that I was appointed to serve as Vice Chairman of PEF. We travelled there by car, which may seem surprising bearing in mind the distance, but it meant that Eileen could come with me, and the trip would cost no more than the price of one air ticket for me. And it turned out that, as most of the delegates had arrived by plane, there was little transport available between the hotel and the conference centre. This meant that we were able to transport Dr Ray Hughes, who was the chairman of the Pentecostal World Conference and the guest speaker from America, to and from the meetings. It gave him the opportunity to get to know us and may have been partly the reason why the following year I was appointed to serve on the PWC advisory committee, and eventually as a member of its presidium. We also travelled by car to the Bordeaux conference in 1994, combining it with a holiday exploring south-western France and visiting Castera Verduzan in Gascony, and Mauléon-Licharre and Eaux Bonnes in the Pyrenees. The conference was particularly significant for Eileen because she was the wife of the Vice-Chairman. This normally carried no specific responsibility, but Sylvia Zopfi, the wife of the Chairman, had broken her leg and was unable to attend. Consequently, it fell to Eileen to preside at a meal for ladies, most of whom were French speaking. Of course there was an interpreter, but Eileen never saw herself as an ‘up front' person and was understandably nervous. Because it was a meal for ladies, I was unable to attend, but I found out later that Herman von Ameron, the husband of the guest speaker, had crept in at the back. So I asked him privately how Eileen had got on, and he replied, She was magnificent. She was like the Queen! Following the political reforms known as perestroika introduced by Russian President Mikhail Gorbachov in the late 1980s, Czechoslovakia was divided into two separated nations, the Czech Republic (or Czechia) and Slovakia. Fridek-Mistek was the venue chosen for the 1997 PEF conference, because it lies on the border of these two countries and so provided delegates from both equal opportunities to attend. Once again, Eileen and I travelled by car, taking extra care in Czechia not to exceed the speed limit, as we'd heard that the Czech police were likely to impose heavy fines on foreigners for any minor infringement. We took the opportunity to visit Prague, a beautiful city, for a weekend before travelling on to the conference. It was now almost 20 years since I had first preached at the conference in The Hague, but for the next decade I was to become a regular speaker with the special responsibility of preaching on the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and praying for people to receive. Sadly there are still many people who attend Pentecostal churches who have not yet come into the experience and in a conference where thousands are in attendance the numbers coming forward for prayer were likely to be enormous. Pentecostal pastors often seem reluctant to teach on the subject, possibly because they are frightened that, when they lay hands on those they pray for, they will not begin to speak in tongues. So I felt the need to preach not only to the people, but also to the pastors. And at Fridek-Mistek I decided to pray for the pastors before I prayed for the people. I asked all the pastors who wanted the Lord to use them in laying hands on people to receive the baptism, to come forward first. I explained that I would pray for them first so that they could then join with me in praying for the people. Dozens of pastors came forward and after I had prayed for them I asked them to turn round and face the congregation. I then called the people to come forward. Hundreds came and each pastor had a queue of people to pray for. Of course, it's impossible to know how many spoke in tongues for the first time, especially in a meeting where so many different languages are spoken! And, even with the people I personally prayed for, there was no way of knowing if they were speaking in tongues or if they were just praying in their own native language. But one thing was particularly noteworthy. When teaching on the baptism I have always been careful to stress that the evidence we are expecting is tongues, not tingles – or shaking, or falling over, or anything else that has no clear biblical basis! However, when one of the people I prayed for did fall over, there was an immediate reaction in the queue next to mine. People started to move into my queue. Perhaps they felt that, despite all I had said, they would somehow get something extra if they fell over! There is still a desperate need for teaching on this throughout the Pentecostal movement and the charismatic renewal worldwide. After the conference we drove into Austria and stayed in an apartment in the church in Bad Ischl where Klaus Winter, the PEF treasurer, was the pastor. I preached in his church and we had a wonderful ten days there exploring Salzburg and the Salzkammergut, the wonderful area where The Sound of Music was filmed. The Helsinki conference was held in the summer of the year 2000 but was preceded by an EPTA conference held in Kaggeholme near Stockholm. We travelled by car as far as Kaggeholme but after EPTA we parked it at Arlanda airport and flew to Helsinki. As Jakob Zopfi was unable to attend because of an illness, it was my responsibility to chair the conference. I also preached on the baptism in the Holy Spirit and, as at Fridek-Mistek, had the privilege of praying for many who were seeking. Shortly after that Jakob Zopfi retired as the PEF chairman and I confess that I was rather relieved not to be appointed as his successor. I too was soon to retire from Mattersey and frankly I didn't want the responsibility. Ingolf Ellsel, a younger man who was the leader of the BFP in Germany, was appointed as chairman, and I was happy to continue to serve as vice chairman. In 2003 the conference was held in Berlin in June. En route we stopped at Liège preaching there over the weekend. We reached Berlin in good time for the conference travelling at times at almost 150 m.p.h. on the autobahns where there was no speed limit. We stayed in a hotel on the outskirts of Berlin in Spandau, famous for its ballet company, and travelled in by underground train to the conference meetings. As in previous years I preached and prayed for people to receive the baptism and hundreds came forward. When Ingolf Ellsel asked who had spoken in tongues for the first time it seemed like just about everybody who had been prayed for raised their hand. It was experiences like this that were undoubtedly the reason why I was asked to speak at so many churches and conferences for national leaders. Churches and National Leaders' Conferences During the years I was at Mattersey I spoke at several national leaders' conferences as well as ministering in local churches. Most of the teaching I did at national conferences centred on the baptism and gifts of the Holy Spirit and how to encourage them at local church level.  These included Germany and Hungary (1989), Iceland (1990), Austria (1999), Belgium (2003) and France (2004) where I was required to preach six times in French on a variety of topics.   The conference was held in Léognan, near Bordeaux, and close to the site of the ADD Bible College. (ADD Assemblées de Dieu i.e. AoG). I taught several sessions in the college in the week preceding the conference and then preached at a youth event held in a marquee in the college grounds. This was an occasion where I really needed the Lord to help me. Of course we always need his help, but this time even more so. I had completely forgotten that I was scheduled to be the speaker at this event, so I said to the principal of the college,             I don't really need to be at the youth meeting this afternoon, do I? To which he replied,             Mais si, vous êtes le prédicteur! (But yes, you are the preacher!) But I had nothing prepared, and I had never preached to young people in French before. Fortunately, several of my books have been translated into French including The Holy Spirit – an Introduction. I had little more than an hour before the meeting began and so, helped the French text of the section on the fruit of the Spirit, I hurriedly prepared a message on this, using examples from the life of Jesus. And the Lord really blessed it. Dozens of young people came forward responding to the appeal to seek to rededicate their lives to Christ. That really encouraged me as the I was preaching in the thousand strong assembly in Bordeaux where Daniel Hébert, whom I had met through PEF, was the pastor. But before leaving the subject of national conferences I need to mention that it was at that conference that David Cizéron gave me a book about his father's work in a part of France I had never heard of, something which will become relevant in a later talk. As far as preaching in local churches is concerned, there are of course far too many to mention them all. I have already talked about my trips to Sweden when I preached in local churches as well as teaching in Bible Colleges. One highlight of these trips was preaching in the Filadelfia church in Stockholm founded by the renowned Pentecostal pioneer, Lewi Pethrus (whose name, incidentally, features immediately before mine in the International Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements). Another highlight was travelling with Eileen to Kristinehamn at the northern end of Lake Vänern, the largest lake in Sweden, and preaching for a week for Paul Gren, one of our former Mattersey students. Germany was another country I also visited frequently. My contact with Germany came from three different though interrelated sources – EPTA which I have already mentioned, the national leaders of the Volksmission group of churches, and the local church in Heidenheim. Herbert Ros and Günter Kaupp were president and vice-president of Volksmission and had both been students at Kenley under the principalships of Donald Gee and John Carter respectively. They both had a great respect for what we were doing at Mattersey and over the years sent us a good number of excellent students who, after they had returned to Germany to take up pastorates there, invited us to minister for them whenever we were in Germany. It was also through my contacts with the leadership of Volksmission that I was invited on several occasions to travel round the churches for a couple of weeks often preaching for just one evening in each church. I was usually accompanied by Eileen, who loved travelling with me and enjoying the beautiful scenery of southern Germany and the warm hospitality we received in homes wherever we went. We undertook such trips in 1998, and 1999, when I was also the guest speaker at the BFP national leaders' conference. (BFP was the wider Pentecostal movement in Germany of which Volksmission had become a part). We made similar trips in 1994, '95, and '96. But it was the church at Heidenheim that we visited most frequently. The pastor there was Albert Bühler. In the early eighties his son-in-law Jürgen Single had heard about a youth camp we were holding at Mattersey during the summer vacation and asked if he could visit it with a coachload of young people from their church as they were arranging a tour of England. We were delighted to receive them and that was the beginning of a lovely relationship we enjoyed with the Bühler-Single family and the church in Heidenheim. We also visited Luxembourg on several occasions due to our relationship with John and Ann Leese who, as AoG missionaries, did an amazing job over many years planting a church there. John had been a student at Kenley when I first started teaching there. We first visited them for a weekend with William and Anthea Kay in 1990 and then again for a holiday in '92 with our daughter Debbie, her husband David, and their one-year-old daughter, Emily, who was our first grandchild. We have visited them many times since including 2001 when John asked me to take care of the preaching (in French, not Luxembourgish) while he and Ann were on holiday. It's also through our contact with Luxembourg that some of my books were translated into French. I will always be grateful to Caroline Hutin, a French schoolteacher who specialised in English, who spent many hours translating You'd Better Believe It, Body Builders, and Just a Taste of Heaven. Having these available was very helpful when I was preaching or teaching in French-speaking countries like France and Belgium. I am so grateful to the Lord that people have enjoyed my teaching and have usually wanted to know more. And my books, in whatever language, have made that possible. My ministry in Belgium was concentrated largely in and around Brussels, at the Continental Theological Seminary where I taught regularly for several years, and at the Christian Centre which held services in both English and French. Daniel Costanza, the pastor of the French speaking church, has used my books as a basis for teaching various courses of Bible study. Jacques Dernelle, who teaches regular courses at CTS, also pastors a great church in Tubize where I have also had the privilege of teaching and preaching. And on at least two occasions I visited Liège and gave a series of teaching which seemed to be well appreciated by the people there. In France where we frequently went on holiday we always sought to attend the nearest ADD church on Sunday mornings and I was often asked to preach. I remember preaching in Versailles, Pau, Mourrenx, Clermont-Ferrand, and Toulouse. However, in Embrun they didn't know who I was and anyway there was already a guest preacher, a French pastor, Samuel Foucart, from Pavilly near Rouen. I enjoyed his preaching and spoke with him afterwards. We exchanged contact details and as a result I was invited in the year 2000 to do a week's teaching on the Holy Spirit. Countries I visited only once or twice during this period were Austria, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, and Italy. In 1982 at the invitation of Carl Pocklington we went to Austria for a week and I preached in Villach and Klagenfürt. And in 2000 I taught for a few days in the church in Linz where Eddie Griesfelder was the pastor. On two occasions I preached for a week in Messina in Sicily where Giuseppe Melusso was the pastor of large AoG church. In 1991 I preached in Reykjavik (Iceland), and in Nokia (Finland) where Teuvo Valkama, one of our former students was the pastor. And in 2002 I preached in Copenhagen (Denmark) and Limerick in Ireland. I look back on all these experiences with great joy and a profound sense of gratitude to the Lord for the privilege of declaring his word in so many places and to so many people. Next time we'll be talking about our service for the Lord beyond Europe.

Talking to the author of Tea Party of One, Jean-Serge Brisson, the other day I learned that here in Canada travelling as a right was flipped into driving as a privilege in 1984 (not that long ago!). Why did they flip it? Because they know a right cannot be charged for or taxed. But a privilege can. In this second interview with Jean-Serge who has gone head-to-head with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and won, we will talk about the ways you can navigate and take yourself off of the low hanging fruit list the government feasts on when it comes to moving freely on the earth as God intends. Join us live February 3, 12:30 PM CST Jean-Serge's Bio: Jean-Serge Brisson (born June 28, 1954) is a Canadian political activist, tax reform advocate, politician, and author. He is a former leader of the Libertarian Party of Canada , and from 2000 to 2008 was elected as a municipal councillor in Russell Twp, his hometown of Embrun is in that TWP. He gained national notoriety in the 1990s for his opposition to businesses being forced to collect the provincial sales tax (PST) without being remunerated. Brisson was born in Embrun , Ontario, a small village to the east of Ottawa and raised on a dairy farm. He describes his early experiences with jobs and bosses to have put him off from ever being able to work for a boss, wanting to instead start his own business and be his own boss. He first apprenticed as a radiator technician and, in 1974, opened his own company in Embrun, Independent Radiator Co. In the early 1990s, Brisson refused to continue collecting the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) putting forward the idea to the then New Democratic Party of Bob Rae, that collection of any money by small business for any government is slavery. Brisson said he never agreed to be hired as a tax collector for the provincial government, but if he was going to be doing their work, he expected to be paid the same as other provincial tax collectors. Brisson documented his experience in his book titled Tea Party of One: All Governments Invited. In 1994, Brisson claims to have ceased filing income takes returns. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/beth-martens/message

A bakers' rebellion is looming in France as they prepare to defend their beloved baguettes. Making bread, croissants and other pastries has become next to impossible, they say, due to soaring electricity prices. Now, they're demanding help from the government. And if it doesn't arrive soon, they're threatening the unthinkable — to turn off their ovens.Take French baker Phillipe Mendez. The sound of his electric ovens whirring to life used to be music to his ears. Now, it's a source of stress.“My electricity bill has gone up four-fold in the last eight months,” he said. “That's besides the price hikes for my basic ingredients. The situation,” he added, “is becoming very complicated.”Mendez opened his artisanal bakery nine years ago in the small Alpine village of Embrun. Business was good, until now. Inflation, the war in Ukraine and the Europe-wide energy crunch have Mendez at wit's end."My wife, Nathalie, has had to come in to work," he said, "as we've been forced to reduce our staff.""What's happening is a real shame," Nathalie said as she sliced bread on the electric slicer. "All of our bread is homemade. We strive for quality. But because of what's happening,” she said, “our hands are tied." "The French, deprived of their bread, would die,” jokes French baker Phillipe Mendez. Mendez is one of thousands of artisanal bakers warning they may need to unplug their ovens because it's too expensive to operate due to rising electricity costs.  Credit: Gerry Hadden/The World At the end of this week the Mendezes said they'll have to raise prices by about 10%. They said they can only hope their customers will still come by. Because it's France, good bread isn't some luxury item — it's like water — you have it with every meal.Local worker Julien Breniere picked up two baguettes on his way home from work. He said he can't start his day without them.“They're actually mini-baguettes,” he said. “Ficelles. In the morning,” he said, rubbing his stomach, “I toast them and eat them with butter and jam.”“Our bread is very important,” 80-year-old customer Giselle Van Overberk said. “It's well known,” she said, “that the French baguette is the best in the world.”You could chalk up such comments to national pride. But French bakers sell some 6 billion baguettes a year. In December 2022, the United Nations granted baguette-baking world heritage status. And each week on French TV, there's a reality show — just for baking bread.On the latest episode of “The Best Bakeries in France,” two stern-looking judges weigh in on a spinach and Brebis cheese loaf baked somewhere in the Pyrenees — 8 points out of 10, they declared  — with room for improvement.  Beloved bakers in France are not immune to the energy woes gripping the country. Electricity prices are set to rise further this winter, as the government struggles to compensate for the loss of natural gas from Russia. In fact, the government warns, there could be temporary blackouts later this month. But its message to bakers is, “We've got your backs.”“We will not let our bakeries fail,” said France's Minister of Finance Bruno Le Maire on the radio this week. “We'll stand by them,” he said. “Helping with concrete measures.”Those measures include tax breaks and emergency subsidies. But French bakers say they need more. “They speak of an emergency bail-out check,” baker Mendez said. But red tape is a problem. “I had to file an application about 6 inches thick,” he said. “And I still don't know if I'm getting anything.”Mendez said he can hang on for another couple of months. After that, he said, he'll bake up his last batch of baguettes, then unplug his ovens for good. And that, he said, would be an existential catastrophe."The French,” he half-jokes, “will die without their bread."

But its message to bakers is, “We've got your backs.”“We will not let our bakeries fail,” said France's Minister of Finance Bruno Le Maire on the radio this week. “We'll stand by them,” he said. “Helping with concrete measures.”Those measures include tax breaks and emergency subsidies. But French bakers say they need more. “They speak of an emergency bail-out check,” baker Mendez said. But red tape is a problem. “I had to file an application about 6 inches thick,” he said. “And I still don't know if I'm getting anything.”Mendez said he can hang on for another couple of months. After that, he said, he'll bake up his last batch of baguettes, then unplug his ovens for good. And that, he said, would be an existential catastrophe."The French,” he half-jokes, “will die without their bread."

Los Miserables Autor: Victor Hugo Primera Parte: Fantine Libro Primero Un justo Cap III : A obispo bueno, obispado arduo. No dejaba de hacer giras el señor obispo por el hecho de haber convertido su carroza en limosnas. La diócesis de Digne resulta cansada. Cuenta con muy pocas llanuras, con muchas montañas y con casi ninguna carretera, como hemos visto hace poco; treinta y dos parroquias, cuarenta y un vicariatos y doscientas veinticinco sucursales. Visitarlo todo no es cosa de poco. El señor obispo lo conseguía. Iba a pie cuando le caía cerca, en carreta por la llanura y en artolas por la montaña. Lo acompañaban las dos ancianas. Cuando el trayecto era demasiado penoso, iba solo. Llegó un día a Senez, que es una antigua ciudad episcopal, a lomos de un burro. Su bolsa, muy vacía por entonces, no le permitía otra forma de viajar. El alcalde de la ciudad fue a recibirlo a la puerta del obispado y lo miraba apearse del burro con ojos escandalizados. Unos cuantos vecinos acomodados se reían en torno. —Señor alcalde —dijo el obispo— y señores vecinos, ya veo qué los escandaliza; les parece que peca de orgulloso un pobre cura que va subido en la misma montura que Jesucristo. Puedo asegurarles que si lo he hecho ha sido por necesidad, no por vanidad. En aquellas giras era indulgente y dulce; y, más que predicar, charlaba. No colocaba nunca virtud alguna en una meseta inaccesible. Nunca eran rebuscados ni sus razonamientos ni sus modelos. A los vecinos de una comarca les ponía de ejemplo a los de la comarca de al lado. En los cantones donde eran duros de corazón con los necesitados, decía: «Fijaos en los de Briançon. Les han concedido a los indigentes, las viudas y los huérfanos el derecho de segar sus prados tres días antes que los demás. Les vuelven a construir gratis las casas cuando se caen en ruinas. Y por eso es una comarca bendita de Dios. En todo un siglo de cien años no ha habido ni un asesino». En los pueblos avariciosos para las ganancias y la siega, decía: «Fijaos en los de Embrun. Si un padre de familia, en tiempos de siega, tiene a los hijos sirviendo al ejército y a las hijas sirviendo en la ciudad y se halla enfermo e impedido, el párroco encarece su caso en el sermón; y el domingo, a la salida de misa, todas las personas de la aldea, hombres, mujeres y niños, van al campo del pobre hombre a segar y le llevan la paja y el grano al granero». A las familias enemistadas por cuestiones de dinero y herencias, les decía: «Fijaos en los montañeses de Dévoluy, una comarca tan agreste que en cincuenta años no se oye ni una vez un ruiseñor. Pues cuando muere un padre de familia, los hijos se van a buscar fortuna y les dejan los bienes a las hijas para que puedan encontrar marido». En los cantones donde gustan de los pleitos y los granjeros se dejan el dinero en papel sellado, decía: «Fijaos en esos buenos labriegos del valle de Queyras. Viven allí tres mil almas. ¡Dios mío, si es como una república en pequeño! Y no saben qué es ni un juez ni un alguacil. Todo lo hace el alcalde. Reparte los impuestos, grava a todos y a cada uno en conciencia, ejerce de juez gratis en las discrepancias, reparte los patrimonios sin pedir honorarios, dicta sentencia sin gastos; y lo obedecen porque es un hombre justo entre hombres sencillos». En los pueblos en que se encontraba con que no había maestro de escuela, volvía a citar a los vecinos de Queyras: «¿Sabéis lo que hacen? —decía—. Como una zona pequeña, de doce o quince hogares, no siempre puede dar de comer a un magíster, tienen maestros que cobran de todo el valle y van de pueblo en pueblo; pasan ocho días acá y diez allá y dan clase. Esos magísteres van a las ferias, y allí los he visto...

Los Miserables Autor: Victor Hugo Primera Parte: Fantine Libro Primero Un justo Cap II : Monseñor Myriel se convierte en monseñor Bienvenu El palacio episcopal de Digne era un edificio contiguo al hospital. El palacio episcopal era amplio y hermoso; lo había construido en piedra a principios del siglo anterior monseñor Henri Puget, doctor en Teología por la Facultad de París y abad de Simore, que fue obispo de Digne en 1712. Aquel palacio era una auténtica mansión señorial. Todo era de aspecto grandioso: los aposentos del obispo; los salones; las estancias; el patio principal, anchuroso y con paseos porticados como era antaño uso en Florencia, y los jardines donde crecían árboles espléndidos. En el comedor, una galería larga y soberbia, sita en la planta baja y que daba a los jardines, monseñor Henri Puget dio un almuerzo de gala el 29 de julio de 1714 a Sus Ilustrísimas Charles Brûlart de Genlis, obispo-príncipe de Embrun; Antoine de Mesgrigny, capuchino y obispo de Grasse; Philippe de Vendôme, prior mayor de Francia y abad de Saint-Honoré de Lérins; François de Berton de Crillon, obispo-barón de Vence; César de Sabran de Forcalquier, obispo-señor de Glandève, y Jean Soanen, sacerdote del oratorio, predicador ordinario del rey y obispo-señor de Senez. Los retratos de aquellos siete reverendos personajes decoraban esa estancia; y aquella fecha memorable: 29 de julio de 1714, estaba grabada en letras de oro en una mesa de mármol blanco. El hospital era una casa estrecha y baja, de una sola planta, y con un jardincillo. Tres días después de haber llegado, el obispo visitó el hospital. Al concluir la visita, pidió al director que tuviera a bien ir a verlo a palacio. —Señor director del hospital —le dijo—, ¿cuántos enfermos tiene en este momento? —Veintiséis, Ilustrísima. —Sí, ésa es la cuenta que me salía a mí —dijo el obispo. —Las camas —siguió diciendo el director— están muy juntas. —Eso había notado. —Las salas no son sino cuartos, y cuesta ventilarlos. —Eso me parece. —Y además, cuando sale un rayo de sol, el jardín se queda muy pequeño para los convalecientes. —Es lo que me estaba diciendo. —En las epidemias, este año hubo una de tifus y hace dos años una de fiebre miliaria, a veces tenemos cien enfermos; y no sabemos qué hacer. —Eso había pensado. —Qué le vamos a hacer, Ilustrísima —dijo el director—. Hay que tomárselo con resignación. Aquella conversación transcurría en el comedor-galería de la planta baja. El obispo calló un momento; luego, se volvió de pronto hacia el director del hospital. —Señor director —dijo—, ¿cuántas camas cree que cabrían sólo en esta estancia? —¿El comedor de Su Ilustrísima? —exclamó el director, estupefacto. El obispo recorría la sala con la mirada y parecía estar tomando medidas y calculando a ojo. —¡Por lo menos cabrían veinte camas! —dijo, como si hablase consigo mismo; luego, alzando la voz—: Mire, señor director del hospital, voy a decirle algo. Está claro que hay una equivocación. Son ustedes veintiséis personas en cinco o seis cuartos pequeños. Nosotros, aquí, somos tres y tenemos sitio para sesenta. Le digo que hay un error. Está usted en mi vivienda y yo en la suya. Devuélvame mi casa. La suya es ésta. Al día siguiente, los veintiséis pobres estaban acomodados en el palacio del obispo y el obispo estaba en el hospital. Monseñor Myriel no tenía bienes de fortuna porque su familia había quedado en la ruina durante la Revolución...

Los Miserables Autor: Victor Hugo Primera Parte: Fantine Libro Primero Un justo Cap VII : Cravatte. Aquí viene a cuento un hecho que no debemos omitir, pues es de esos que permiten ver mejor qué hombre era el señor obispo de Digne. Tras la desintegración de la partida de Gaspard Bès, que infestó las gargantas de Ollioules, uno de sus lugartenientes, Cravatte, buscó refugio en la montaña. Estuvo escondido una temporada con sus bandidos, lo que quedaba de la banda de Gaspard Bès, en el condado de Niza; se fue luego al Piamonte y volvió a aparecer de repente en Francia, por la zona de Barcelonnette. Se escondió en las cuevas de Le Joug-de-l'Aigle y desde allí bajaba a las aldeas y los pueblos por los barrancos de Ubaye y Ubayette. Llegó incluso hasta Embrun, entró de noche en la catedral y desvalijó la sacristía. Sus bandidos asolaban la comarca. Mandaron a la gendarmería a perseguirlo, pero en vano. Siempre se escabullía; a veces resistía por la fuerza. Era un miserable muy atrevido. El obispo llegó en pleno terror. Estaba de gira por Chastelar. El alcalde fue a verlo y lo animó a volverse por donde había venido. Cravatte era el amo de la montaña hasta Arche y más allá; había peligro, incluso con escolta. Era exponer inútilmente a tres o cuatro pobres gendarmes. —Por eso mismo —dijo el obispo— tengo intención de ir sin escolta. —Pero ¡cómo se le ocurre a Su Ilustrísima! —Tanto se me ocurre que me niego tajantemente a que vengan conmigo unos gendarmes y me marcho dentro de una hora. —¿Que se va? —Me voy. —¿Solo? —Solo. —¡Monseñor! ¡No puede hacer semejante cosa! —Hay en la montaña —siguió diciendo el obispo— un municipio muy humilde y muy pequeño por que el que llevo tres años sin aparecer. Tengo muy buenos amigos, son pastores mansos y honrados; de cada treinta cabras que cuidan, una es suya. Hacen unos cordones de lana muy bonitos de varios colores y tocan melodías de las montañas en unos flautines de seis agujeros. Necesitan que alguien les hable de Dios de vez en cuando. ¿Qué dirían de un obispo miedoso? ¿Qué dirían si no fuera? —¡Pero, Ilustrísima, los bandidos! —Caramba —dijo el obispo—, ahora que caigo, tiene razón. Es posible que me encuentre con ellos. Ellos también deben de estar necesitados de que alguien les hable de Dios. —Pero, Ilustrísima, ¡si es una partida! ¡Un rebaño de lobos! —Señor alcalde, a lo mejor es precisamente de ese rebaño del que Dios me hizo pastor. ¿Quién conoce los caminos de la Providencia? —¡Desvalijarán a Su Ilustrísima! —No tengo nada. —Matarán a monseñor. —¿Un cura viejo que pasa mascullando sandeces? ¡Bah! ¿Para qué? —¡Ay, Dios mío! ¡Mira que si se los encuentra Su Ilustrísima! —Les pediré una limosna para mis pobres. —¡No vaya, monseñor, en nombre del cielo! Pone en peligro su vida.

Une entreprise locale, Kyan Cuisine, crée et vend des repas végétaliens en ligne et dans certains magasins dans la région de Prescott-Russell puisqu'il est difficile d'en trouver. Cette entreprise continue à progresser même après la pandémie de la COVID-19. Copropriétaire Vanessa Viau, a commencé Kyan Cuisine avec ses deux amis, car ils étaient à la recherche des repas “moins cher [et] moins compliqué" et avaient de la misère à trouver des repas végétaliens en déplacement. "Quand Aude (copropriétaire) et moi on est devenue végétalienne on a trouvé ça vraiment difficile de manger ‘on the go',” elle explique. “On était deux personnes qui travaillaient déjà beaucoup puis on n'avait pas le temps de se rendre dans la cuisine et de faire des bons repas”. Ils ont une cuisine située à Embrun, par contre il y a toujours des possibilités d'expansion. Tranquillement, ils ajoutent des nouveaux produits et ils utilisent des sources locales le plus possible. "Présentement on va vraiment focuser sur les livraisons en ligne puis les magasins”, elle déclare. “On aimerait agrandir le territoire de livraison en ligne puis grandir le nombre de magasins et les régions que les gens peuvent acheter les bols dans les magasins. “Je te dirais que peut-être à un moment donné on va voir Kyan Clothing, Kyan Wellness, Kyan Bistro, on ne sait pas, ça va être a voir.”. Ils ont gagné deux prix, un d'entre eux est le prix du commerce francophone, et selon Vanessa cela était “tellement touchant”. En gagnant cela, ils ont aussi reçu une somme de 10 000$ et Vanessa explique que c'est "énorme". "Présentement on est en expansion, on a plus de magasins [et] on a plus de gens qui commandent en ligne," dit Vanessa. “On a besoin [des] nouveau matériel, plus d'employés, des voitures de livraison, [et cela] va nous aider à pouvoir expandre et à pouvoir offrir plus loin".

NOTE:  Lowell is away Thursday Oct 14th. Today, we begin with some nature questions from Lowell, and a pretty cool wolf call that you do NOT want to miss! Then... Vaccination compliance in hospital staff appears to be very good.   Also... We examine the Embrun wind farm situation... And finally, there is a looming shutdown of Line 5, the major pipeline that supplies Ontario and Quebec with oil, natural gas and propane.    Lowell has been warning us for months, now it's situation critical.   Especially as winter approaches.

The hot weather finally broke and heavy rain fell on the run-in to Valloire but we are still none the wiser as to who will win the Tour de France. Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and François Thomazeau discuss the first of three Alpine stages and search for clues as to who is looking the strongest. What were Team Ineos’s tactics? Is Egan Bernal or Geraint Thomas their leader now? Can Julian Alaphilippe hold on? Can Thibaut Pinot launch an attack? And why does Daniel Oss keep saying “heavy rain”?  The Cycling Podcast is supported by Rapha and Science In Sport.

Col de Vars, Col d’Izoard og Col du Galibier. Henholdsvis 2109, 2360 og 2642 højdemeter. Der er lagt i kakkelovnen til det helt store bjergslag. Spørgsmålet er bare om det overhovedet kommer? Det får vi os en god snak om her i optakten til årets 18. etape.

Michael Gallivan's overtime winner is gives Ottawa West a 2-1 win over Embrun on Friday November 9th, 2018.

I dette afsnit af Det 3. Hjul gennemgår vi 19. etape af Tour de France, der går fra Embrun til Salon-de-Provence. Vi kommer som altid med kvalificerede bud på vindere og diskuterer eventuelle scenarier på dagens etape.

Katy (@klwatts) is joined by Chuck Thibert (@varxint) and Dan Beaudoin to chat about Brasserie Étienne Brûlé (@brasserieeb) and what made him make the big move from Toronto to Embrun to brew beer! Show Notes: Just in case you need more information about who Étienne Brûlé is (isn't it nice that you get a history lesson with your beer?). I will admit I have a domain registering addiction and it took all of my will power not to stop the podcast and register those domains. Ecocert is a Canadian organization that certifies organic producers, processors and distributors. It's pretty rigorous; to be certified you have to be audited yearly and there are surprise audits. I think the restaurant that Dan is talking about is Pure Kitchen Ottawa. Dan is putting me through my paces this episode. Biofine Clear is a fining agent that helps clarify beer. Unlike gelatin or isinglass (made of fish bladders), Biofine Clear is vegan friendly. If you are into reading about fining agents and whether its vegan-ness has any affect on taste (spoiler: it doesn't) you can read this interesting exbeeriment. The Windsor is a local tavern in Vankleek Hill. Well known to be a hangout for the Beau's crowd and host to great bands and even better after parties. There website now (kind of) works, although it's mostly a showcase of instagram photos. Dan is referencing /r/TheBrewery and ProBrewer.com. We've talked about Cask Days before on the show. It truly is something that every beer fan has to experience at least once (or yearly). Oh those long German words, so hard to pronounce. Here's more information on how taxation has affected the Japanese beer industry - it's fairly interesting. Watch out! Dan is going to convert all of Embrun to craft beer - and that's great! Be fancy and serve your lambics using a basket! Things I will work on - not saying "really good" as a beer description on the podcast.
