    The Dayton Peace Accords were signed on the 21 November 1995, ending the three-and-a-half-year war in Bosnia. The war was part of the break-up of Yugoslavia; it is estimated that 100,000 people were killed.

    Franck Symphony in D Minor

    In the 1960s, Leonard Bernstein famously helped to popularize the music of a then relatively obscure composer, Gustav Mahler. His work, as well as the work of other conductors, made Mahler into a classical-music household name. Mahler's symphonies are played every year all over the world, and he is firmly ensconced in the so-called canon of standard orchestral repertoire. Would it surprise you to know that Franck's D Minor Symphony once had the same reputation? It was played almost every year by most major orchestras, it was recorded by all the great conductors, and it was a fixture of the canon just like a Brahms symphony. Nowadays you would be lucky if, outside of France and Belgium, you hear Franck's Symphony once every five years, if that. The truth is that, other than a short golden period for this symphony, it has either been controversial (around the time it was premiered) or ignored (nowadays), which is a real shame, since it is a glorious piece that I would argue is drastically underrated in our modern world. The symphony was radically innovative for its time, which probably explains some of the more virulent criticism it received, but even though those innovations now sound completely normal to our ears, they are still at the heart of what makes this symphony so profoundly satisfying to listen to. Ahead of my performances of the symphony in Lille this December, I wanted to dive in and explore this unfairly ignored masterpiece. In about 40 minutes of music in three grand movements, Franck pours his soul into this work. That phrase sounds a bit cliché, I know, but I really mean it; there is an earnestness about this music that I find deeply moving, and it is something we will explore together today. We will talk about Franck's late entry into the world of composition, his reputation as an organist, and the challenges he faced in finding acceptance as a composer. Along the way, we will discuss this gorgeous piece in all of its passion and intensity. Join us!

    In 1975, the death of General Francisco Franco was announced in Spain, bringing to an end 36 years of dictatorship.Franco had already chosen his successor: Prince Juan Carlos, grandson of the last monarch, Alphonso XIII. This was the man who - Franco thought - would continue his authoritarian, anti-democratic and deeply conservative regime.But Juan Carlos defied expectations. In the years that followed, he would lead Spain from a dictatorship to a democracy until, in 1977, the country held its first free elections for 41 years.Jane Wilkinson tells the story using excerpts from the 1981 BBC and TVE documentary, Juan Carlos: King of Spain.

    In this incredible conversation, we had the honor of sitting down with Aletheia Sophia — a 2/5 Emotional Manifesting Generator, mystic, author, and global teacher known for her work in Sacred Body Awakening. Together, we journey into the heart of the Mary Magdalene lineage, the sacred feminine mysteries, water as a living intelligence, embodiment, and the ancient Gnostic traditions. Aletheia shares her story of being called to France, where she followed synchronicities, cave guardians, dragon lines, and mysterious guides into a lifetime of initiatory discovery. She speaks about Mary Magdalene's true teachings, her connection to water and resurrection, the forgotten power of tears, and the original feminine-led early Christian movements before suppression reshaped the narrative.   We also explore the veil, the bridal chamber, Aramaic transmissions, and the mystical pathways of remembrance awakening across the planet today. This episode is a woven tapestry of story, myth, embodiment, and cosmic insight that will leave you with a renewed sense of wonder, trust, and empowerment on your own sacred path.   Key Takeaways: How Mary Magdalene's true teachings are centered around embodiment, resurrection power, and alliance with nature. How Mary Magdalene's lineage is rooted in communion with the land — including caves, springs, and dragon lines — creating a living relationship still accessible to modern seekers. Why water is understood as a veil between worlds and a transmitter of ancient memory, carrying cosmic intelligence and feminine codes. Why tears are a spiritual technology and how they hold quantum potency for anointing rituals. Why the Aramaic Lord's Prayer functions as a vibrational technology that leads directly into the sacred heart space. Why a resurgence of Mary Magdalene and feminine wisdom is unfolding today, and how this movement reflects cosmic timing within a larger awakening reconnecting humanity to mystical feminine teachings.   Connect with Aletheia Sophia: aletheiapistissophia.com lescontes.eu Instagram: @aletheia.pistis.sophia DayLuna: ENTER OUR NOVEMBER SCHOLARSHIP GIVEAWAY!

    This week on Sinica, I welcome back Finbarr Bermingham, the Brussels-based Europe correspondent for the South China Morning Post, about the Nexperia dispute — one of the most revealing episodes in the global contest over semiconductor supply chains. Nexperia, a Dutch-headquartered chipmaker owned by Shanghai-listed Wingtech, became the subject of extraordinary government intervention when the Netherlands invoked a Cold War-era emergency law to seize temporary control of the company and suspend its Chinese CEO. Finbarr's reporting, drawing on Dutch court documents and expert sources, has illuminated the tangled threads of this story: preexisting concerns about governance and technology transfer, mounting U.S. pressure on The Hague to remove Chinese management, and the timing of the Dutch action on the very day the U.S. rolled out its affiliate rule. We discuss China's retaliatory export controls on chips packaged at Nexperia's Dongguan facilities, the role of the Trump-Xi meeting in Busan in unlocking a temporary thaw, and what this case reveals about Europe's agonizing position between American pressure and Chinese integration in global production networks.4:34 – Why the "Europe cracks down on Chinese acquisition" framing was too simple 6:17 – The Dutch court's extraordinary tick-tock of events and U.S. lobbying 9:04 – The June pressure from Washington: divestment or the affiliate list 10:13 – Dutch fears of production know-how relocating to China 12:35 – The impossible position: damned if they did, damned if they didn't 14:46 – The obscure Cold War-era Goods Availability Act 17:11 – CEO Zhang Xuezheng and the question of who stopped cooperating first 19:26 – Was China's export control a state policy or a corporate move? 22:16 – Europe's de-risking framework and the lessons from Nexperia 25:39 – The fragmented European response: Germany, France, Hungary, and the Baltics 30:31 – Did Germany shape the response behind the scenes? 33:06 – The Trump-Xi meeting in Busan and the resolution of the crisis 37:01 – Will the Nexperia case deter future European interventions? 40:28 – Is Europe still an attractive market for Chinese investment? 41:59 – The Europe China Forum: unusually polite in a time of tenterhooksPaying it forward: Dewey Sim (SCMP diplomacy desk, Beijing); Coco Feng (SCMP technology, Guangdong); Khushboo Razdan (SCMP North America); Sense Hofstede (Chinese Bossen newsletter)Recommendations: Finbarr: Chokepoints by Edward Fishman; Underground Empire by Henry Farrell and Abe Newman; "What China Wants from Europe" by John Delury (Engelsberg Ideas) Kaiser: The Three Musketeers: D'Artagnan and Milady (2023 French film adaptation)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    ⁠Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! From 1764 to 1767, an area of southeastern France called the Gevaudan was stalked and terrorized by a mysterious beast. Some said it was a wolf. Others that it was “like a wolf, but not a wolf”—far stronger, faster, more brutal and more intelligent than other wolves. Still others provided much more strange and otherworldly descriptions that did not resemble a wolf at all. This was the Beast of the Gevaudan. It didn't hunt like a wolf. It didn't eat like a wolf. And the rugged, poverty-stricken environment that became its hunting ground was a bigger part of the story than most accounts admit. To this day, the Beast of the Gevaudan is a seminal cryptid mystery—and its legend forms the foundation for much of werewolf lore as we know it today.  Join us as we unpack the eerie unsolved mystery of the Beast of the Gevaudan.

    Gratitude Grief: When Joy Spills Into Ache

    Hi, I'm Elizabeth Perry, and this is Where It's Quiet, a podcast about returning to what's real beneath the noise. Today I'm naming something I didn't have a word for until recently: gratitude grief — that sweet, aching feeling when your heart is so full of love and thankfulness it almost hurts. I share personal moments from the Camino, a solo trip through Portugal and France, a surprise engagement, and hosting TEDx Bentonville that opened me up to a kind of joy that felt both overwhelming and unbelievably alive. We talk about why that happens: our nervous systems can actually protect us from positive overwhelm, and trauma can narrow the window in which we can fully feel. I share how EMDR therapy helped me widen that window so I could experience more gratitude, compassion, and love without immediately bracing for the fall. I also get real about how gratitude and grief can live in the same heartbeat — feeling deep gratitude for my mom and for moments I missed, and letting the sorrow for those years of numbness surface as proof that I'm learning to feel again. There's a simple practice I guide you through in the episode: settle into your body, breathe, tense and release, then bring to mind someone or something you're deeply grateful for. Let the memory become three-dimensional, notice sensations, and let gratitude and grief coexist. This kind of savoring trains your brain to tolerate more joy and connection. My invitation is gentle: let yourself sit in the warmth and the ache. Hold the love, let the tears come if they come, and remember that grief can be the evidence of a heart that has learned to love more fully. Marcus Aurelius said there's no quieter retreat than the soul — visit it often and fill it with this alive, tender capacity. If this episode moved something in you, savor it a little longer and maybe share it with someone you're grateful for. Until next time — stay gentle, stay curious, and keep returning to where it's quiet.

    L'histoire de Gilles Garnier, surnommé le “loup-garou de Dole”, est l'un des procès les plus étranges et terrifiants de la Renaissance. Cet ermite, vivant dans les bois de Saint-Bonnot, près de Dole, dans l'actuelle Franche-Comté, fut accusé en 1573 d'avoir assassiné et dévoré plusieurs enfants. Son procès, mené par le Parlement de Dole, est resté célèbre comme l'un des premiers cas documentés de “lycanthropie judiciaire” — autrement dit, la croyance selon laquelle un homme pouvait réellement se transformer en bête.À l'époque, la région était frappée par la famine. Les habitants vivaient dans la peur des loups et des brigands. Gilles Garnier, un ermite pauvre et marginal, vivait à l'écart avec sa femme, se nourrissant de ce qu'il trouvait dans la forêt. Bientôt, des disparitions d'enfants se multiplièrent : leurs corps, retrouvés mutilés, portaient des marques de morsures. Très vite, la rumeur enfla : un “homme-loup” rôdait.Les villageois organisèrent des battues. Un soir, des témoins affirmèrent avoir vu Garnier sous la forme d'un loup, traînant le corps d'un enfant. Arrêté, il fut torturé — pratique courante à l'époque — et finit par avouer. Selon les procès-verbaux, il raconta qu'un esprit lui serait apparu, lui donnant une pommade magique pour se transformer en loup afin de mieux chasser et nourrir sa femme. Sous l'effet de cette “métamorphose”, il aurait tué plusieurs enfants et consommé leur chair.Le tribunal le déclara coupable de sorcellerie, de lycanthropie et de cannibalisme. Le 18 janvier 1574, Gilles Garnier fut condamné au bûcher. Son exécution publique visait à “purifier” la communauté d'une présence jugée démoniaque. Pour les juges, il n'était pas un simple criminel, mais un homme ayant pactisé avec le diable, symbole vivant du mal.Aujourd'hui, les historiens voient en Gilles Garnier une victime du contexte social et religieux de son époque. Dans une France obsédée par la sorcellerie et les signes du diable, la marginalité suffisait à faire de quelqu'un un monstre. Le “loup-garou de Dole” incarne cette peur collective où la faim, la superstition et la violence judiciaire se mêlaient.Ainsi, ce procès montre comment, au XVIᵉ siècle, la frontière entre l'homme et la bête, le réel et le fantastique, pouvait disparaître — jusqu'à faire condamner un ermite pour avoir, dit-on, porté la peau du loup.

    In 2016, Ludovic Orlando, a genetics researcher, embarked on the Pegasus Project, an ambitious endeavor to use genetics to discover the origin of the modern horse. There were plenty of theories as to who domesticated horses first–but Ludovic's team came up with their answer: They emerged on the western Eurasian steppe around 4200 years ago. But that revelation was only the beginning of Ludovic's work, as he dug into the genetic origins of different kinds of horses, like the Arabian horse, as well as charted how the horse's genetic diversity changed over time. His research is collected in his new book Horses: A 4,000-Year Genetic Journey Across the World (Princeton UP, 2025) Ludovic Orlando is a CNRS Silver Medal–winning research director and founding director of the Centre for Anthropobiology and Genomics of Toulouse at the University of Toulouse in France.

    France this week promoted Alfred Dreyfus, the Jewish army captain wrongly convicted of treason in 1894, to the rank of brigadier general as an act of reparation in a notorious case of antisemitism that has caused outrage for generations. The move is seen as a symbolic step in the fight against antisemitism in modern France, at a time of growing alarm over hate crimes targeting Jews in the country in the context of the Gaza war. French President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu signed the promotion into law on Monday, and it was published in the so-called Official Journal of new legislation on Tuesday. Parliament’s lower house unanimously approved the legislation in June, and the Senate backed it earlier this month. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Yael Perl-Ruiz , the great grand-daughter of Alfred Dreyfus.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Episode 219: Moroccan Publishing, Cultural Decolonization, and the Book Revolution: The Souffles Experience, 1966-1971 During the 1960s and 1970s, Morocco was a center for the invention of cultural decolonization and a key site in the twentieth-century book revolution. A group of young poets, novelists, critics, painters, and photographers created a cluster of publications, whose centerpiece was the magazine Souffles, and linked their publishing projects to ideas about national cultural decolonization on a global scale. The magazines, paperbacks, chapbooks, and posters they made have loomed large in the landscapes of postcolonial francophone literature and Moroccan modernist art for nearly six decades. The Souffles story also highlights the key roles of print media and cultural institutions for mid-twentieth-century discussions about the end of empire. Important and underexplored primary sources relating to these publishing projects exist in the collections of Moroccan libraries and booksellers. In this episode, Alexander Baert Young, Ph.D. candidate in history at Johns Hopkins University and 2023 AIMS/TALIM fellow, presents research he completed in Morocco during June-July 2023 at the Bibliothèque Nationale du Royaume du Maroc, in the library of the Ecole des Sciences de l'Information, and at used book dealers in Rabat and Tangier. Alexander Baert Young is a historian whose work connects book history, African history, and French history. As a Ph.D. candidate in the history department at Johns Hopkins University, Young is currently researching and writing his dissertation, “Africa's Book Revolution: Print Culture, Decolonization, and Development, 1954-1988,” a multi-site project that will tell the connected stories of African publishers, librarians, bibliographers, cultural development experts, and media theorists across Morocco, Tunisia, Cameroon, Senegal, France, and beyond. His research draws on published paperbacks, little magazines, book fair catalogues, media studies and library science scholarship, and bibliographies, as well as archives of nation-states, international organizations, publishing companies, libraries, and writers. Young's work has received support from the American Institute for Maghrib Studies (including the Tangier American Legation Institute for Moroccan Studies and the Centre d'Etudes Maghrébines à Tunis), the Western Society for French History, and the Bourse Jeanne Marandon of the Société des Professeurs Français et Francophones d'Amérique. During June-July 2023, he conducted research in Morocco as an AIMS/TALIM fellow.

    Trois Français sur quatre ont déjà pris de l'homéopathie au cours de leur vie. Pourtant, la communauté scientifique est formelle : ces petites granules ne contiennent aucun principe actif. Ce sont littéralement des boules de sucre. Inventée au XVIIIe siècle, l'homéopathie repose sur des principes qui défient la logique scientifique. Malgré cela, elle a connu un succès phénoménal en France. Jusqu'en 2021, la Sécurité sociale remboursait même ces médicaments. Pourquoi un tel succès dans l'Hexagone ? Dans cet épisode, Hugo et Ingrid explorent les raisons culturelles et psychologiques qui font de la France le royaume mondial de l'homéopathie. Entre culture de la prescription, effet placebo et besoin de soin personnalisé, cette histoire révèle beaucoup sur notre rapport collectif à la santé.

    Send us a textIn this episode, I'm chatting with author Laura Resau about her novel The Alchemy of Flowers.A walled garden in the south of France. A woman carrying the weight of infertility and the ache of what might have been. An author who believes that myth, nature, and careful attention can turn pain into something living. That's the ground we walk together with Laura Resau, whose debut adult novel, The Alchemy of Flowers, blends sensory delight with hard-earned hope.We start with Laura's unusual path—trilingual, trained in cultural anthropology, shaped by seasons in Provence and Oaxaca—and how immersion in other cultures taught her to write with reverence for place and people. She shares why she shifted from award-winning children's books to adult fiction, carrying forward wonder while making room for layered reflection. Magical realism isn't a trick here; it's a way of telling the truth. Laura draws on myth to map inner journeys, then roots that map in the real work of a healing garden: herbs, salves, teas, and the slow patience of tending.At the heart of our conversation is the compost metaphor that sparked the novel: how do we turn our crap into flowers? Eloise, our protagonist, manages literal compost while metabolizing years of loss, guilt, and tightly controlled routines. We explore restraint versus freedom, the cultural noise around fertility, and the relief of stepping off that hamster wheel—even inside a garden with walls. Found family deepens the story's warmth, especially through Mina, whose act of writing through trauma echoes Laura's real-life collaboration on The Queen of Water, a testament to storytelling as a path to repair.Come for the rich textures—French meals that stretch past midnight, treehouses and yurts, a garden that feels both sanctuary and crucible. Stay for the craft insights, the mythic threads, and the gentle insistence that transformation is possible. If you've ever needed fiction that meets your pain without flinching and still promises bloom, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves literary fiction and magical realism, and leave a review to help more readers find the show.

    After nearly 400 conversations with Olympians, Paralympians, and trailblazing women athletes from 55 countries, one thing is clear: no two stories are alike. Some athletes train with world-class facilities, others without basic equipment. Some are household names, others are fighting for visibility in sports you've never even seen on TV. And yet, across all these differences, certain themes echo again and again.That's what this new Best Of series is all about: spotlighting both the range of experiences and the threads that connect them. We've pulled together the most powerful moments across years of conversations, including:✨ Best Advice to Younger Selves — from “give yourself grace to be a beginner” to “don't dim your light for anyone.”✨ Best Stories of Resilience — tales of athletes coming back from devastating injuries, near-misses, and moments when the world doubted them most.✨ Best Moments of Role Modelship — athletes lifting the next generation, mentoring teammates, and carrying entire communities with them to the world stage.✨ Best Stories of Identity & Joy — how athletes embrace who they are on and off the field, from glitter on the track to pride in their heritage.…and many more!You'll hear voices as different as the sports they represent, yet together, they reveal what it really takes to rise to the top. This isn't just one story. It's hundreds woven together. And this is just the beginning.In this episode, Greatness in Motion, Kimberly Alkemade (Netherlands, para-athletics) explains how shifting between prosthetic blade sponsors—from Ottobock to Xiborg to Össur—mirrors her growth as an athlete and her fight against the financial barriers facing para-sport. Fran Brown (Great Britain, paracycling) shares how defining her own path turned “can't” into world titles and Paralympic medals. Caryn Davies (USA, rowing) reflects on embodying Olympic values—excellence, friendship, respect—and how she applies them beyond sport in her law career. Marzieh Hamidi (Afghanistan, taekwondo), now training in France for the Refugee Olympic Team, speaks about resilience, displacement, and representing Afghan women denied that freedom. Each story redefines greatness not as perfection or power, but as persistence, adaptation, and motion toward something bigger than self.Flame Bearers is a women's sports storytelling studio, illuminating the unsung stories of exceptional women athletes from around the world.

    What is Pommeau? Pommeau is a: fortified blend of fresh apple must (unfermented) and apple brandy (typically Calvados in Normandy or Lambig in Brittany). The unfermented apple juice and brandy are combined before fermentation, which halts the process entirely and preserves natural sweetness. By law in France, Pommeau must be aged a minimum of 18 months in oak and produced within designated regions. It's rich, amber-colored, and served as an apéritif. It is consider to be a French heritage drink shaped by decades of refinement and protected standards. When did Pommeau receive AOC status? Pommeau received its official Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) status in 1991, formalizing the traditional method and legally protecting what can and cannot be called Pommeau within France. And in America? If you ask what Pommeau is in the United States, the answer is: nothing defined. There is no legal TTB definition, no standard of identity, and no trade agreement protecting the name. Yet hundreds of U.S. labels already use the word…sometimes accurately, sometimes loosely, often inconsistently. So the question becomes, "What happens when a French classic with strict rules lands on U.S. labels with no rules at all?" That's the conversation American isn't having… yet. In this episode, Ria speaks with alcohol beverage attorney Lindsey Zahn to unpack what it means to use the word Pommeau in the U.S.—legally, culturally, ethically—and what cider makers and consumers should consider going forward.
