"The British officers in general behaved like boys who had been whipped at school.” This is the story of the beginning of the Revolution's end. Following Lord Cornwallis' vow to take the fight to Virginia, infamous Lieutenant Colonel Tarleton raids Charlottesville, takes a few legislators captive, and forces Governor Thomas Jefferson to flee. Tom only escapes because of the brave ride of the “Paul Revere of the South,” Jack Jouett. Our French friend Lafayette is also on the run, always just a couple of cheeky steps ahead of Lord Cornwallis' armies.  Meanwhile, George Washington is facing down a mutiny in the north. The grievances that led to this insubordination are piling up, and though the mutiny is quickly suppressed, the challenges of feeding, clothing, and paying the army remain. However, the situation is about to improve drastically; George is about to receive the resources he needs, but not from Congress. From France. French allies, including new friends like General Rochambeau and Vice Admiral de Grasse, are ready to give George some serious support... enough support that the Americans just might turn the world upside down. ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette  come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.

Meet Tarrare, the man whose endless appetite turned him into a walking legend—and a living nightmare for everyone around him.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TVIN THIS EPISODE: Tarrare, an 18th-century French showman, could eat enough to feed 15 people and swallow cats whole — but his stomach was never satisfied, even to the point, he was rumored, to consume human flesh. (Tarrare, The Insatiable Glutton) *** A sickly-sweet smell and then burning sensations, nausea, and partial paralysis. It began with one, then many in a small town in Illinois. It was a gas attack – but who was the culprit? Or even stranger – was it in everyone's imaginations? (Who Was The Mad Gasser of Mattoon?) *** A baby begins screaming when her mother moves them into a new apartment. (Mother's Helper) *** “Momo” may sound like a funny name – but it was no laughing matter to Missouri residents trying to track down the huge, black, hairy monster. (The Missouri Monster) *** A veteran claims a pastor was an alien involved in a conspiracy here on Earth, with members of congress, to enslave all humans – and that's why he shot him in the head. (Aliens and Attempted Murder) *** Attention in Puerto Rico has recently turned to a recurring horror – a real life gargoyle attacking and sucking the blood from their chickens. (The Gargoyle of Puerto Rico) *** A hunter suddenly became the hunted of a mysterious creature in Wyoming. (I Faced A Wendigo) *** A man and his family experience strange and terrifying events in their home located next to a meteor crater. (I've Never Told My Story) *** Part bat. Part bigfoot. What has been unfortunately named “Batsquatch” sounds like a B-list villain in a DC comic taking on the Caped Crusader, but for some who live in Washington state near Mt. St. Helens, it's not imaginary at all. (Bizarre Encounters With Batsquatch) *** If you mention gnomes to someone, most think of those tiny ceramic or concrete figurines people place in gardens or on their front doorstep to greet visitors. But in a certain portion of England, if you mention gnomes – you get the real thing. (The Mysterious Gnomes of Wollaton Park) *** We go back to a normal, sunny Tuesday morning in 2001 – when the world changed forever after a terrorist attack on the U.S., left families in despair, a country in fear, and spirits of those lost still wandering ground zero to this day.

she hide that?Fr: "Pourquoi, Élodie ?"En: "Why, Élodie?"Fr: demanda-t-il, la voix serrée.En: he asked, his voice tight.Fr: "J'avais peur que cela te détourne de tes études, que cela t'éloigne de ton rêve de terminer ton diplôme," expliqua-t-elle, presque en pleurant.En: "I was afraid that it would divert you from your studies, that it would distance you from your dream of finishing your degree," she explained, almost in tears.Fr: Lucien se leva brusquement, la chaise grincant contre le sol.En: Lucien stood up abruptly, the chair scraping against the floor.Fr: "C'était peut-être ce dont j'avais besoin !En: "Maybe that was what I needed!Fr: Pourquoi ne pas me laisser décider ?"En: Why not let me decide?"Fr: Sa colère était tangible, mais sous la surface, il voyait aussi la peur et l'inquiétude de son amie.En: His anger was tangible, but beneath the surface, he also saw the fear and concern of his friend.Fr: Le café semblait soudainement trop petit, trop chaud.En: The café suddenly felt too small, too warm.Fr: Élodie, les yeux humides, trouva à peine la force de murmurer, "Je ne voulais que te protéger."En: Élodie, her eyes wet, barely found the strength to whisper, "I

Montmartre d'un manteau blanc.En: The snow was falling slowly, covering Montmartre with a white mantle.Fr: Quelque chose changea en lui.En: Something changed in him.Fr: Les mots d'Élodie résonnaient

que ce mensonge.En: He realized that their friendship was precious, more precious than this lie.Fr: "Élodie," dit-il enfin, sa voix plus douce, "je comprends que tu pensais bien faire.En: "Élodie," he

Diplomacy in the Middle East on two fronts: With less than two weeks before U.S. President Joe Biden leaves office, his aides are working with President-elect Donald Trump's team in a last-ditch push for a ceasefire in Gaza. And foreign ministers and top diplomats from Western and Middle Eastern countries met with Syria's new foreign minister in Riyadh. Has the death toll in Gaza been under-estimated? Los Angeles continues to burn. American voters have differing expectations for the next president's term. Is French influence on the decline in Africa? Plus, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has a message for North Korean leader Kim Jon Un.

Episode 205 of the series covers the A Russian Struggle Thread, Two Disabled Men in the Free State and a Surge in Surveyors. Sprinkled with tales of Hoffman. That would be Johannes Hoffman commonly known as Sias Hoffman, the first president of the Orange Free State who signed the Bloemfontein Convention with the British in February 1854. Regarded as a shrewd and able merchant, he had been disabled in an accident, but that didn't stop Hoffmann from wielding political power. He was also a fundamentalist voortrekker, hard core. Hoffman was one of the representatives of the Smithfield District in the Orange River Sovereignty during the negotiations between Boers and British. Both Hoffman and his State Secretary Jacobus Groenendal were disabled and their government to quickly gained the nickname 'the crippled government' which is not only wicked, but wouldn't fly in today's equitable lexicon. Groenendaal had been born in Holland then travelled to South Africa as a teacher in 1849. Hoffman was a friend of Moshoeshoe of the Basotho, conciliatory towards the Griqua who lived in the transOrangia, and pretty distrustful of Pretorius' more militant Boers. His friendships with the black and coloured people living around the Free State caused deep mistrust amongst his fellow Boers. Hoffman's term in office was also short-lived, just under one year, thus the crippled government epithet. As a gesture of good faith, Hoffman had given a present of a keg of gunpowder to king Moshoeshoe. His fellow burghers found this an unwise move, over-friendly and potentially dangerous for the survival of the new state. Relations between the Boers and the Basotho were less than cordial with the border dispute unresolved. What sealed Hoffman's fate, however, was not the gift itself so much as the fact that he tried to hide his actions from the Volksraad and the Orange Free State parliament. Living in the Caledon Valley and Orange River confluence areas were the Thlaping - a combination of Tswana peoples who had gathered in the area during the Difaqane, loosely led by Adam Kok but ostensibly under their chief Lephoi. French missionary Jean Pierre Pellissier set up his station at a place called Bethulie and by 1854 more than 3 000 Tswana, Thlaping and others lived there. They were a pretty mixed community, escaped Rolong, Sotho, Tswana and a number of Bastaards as they were known, Khoi and freed slaves — and many of these with special skills. Ironically, many of the former slaves were literate, which made them influential members of the community. Inside this sprawling Free State land of 80 000 square kilometres lived 10 000 Boers and English along with about 30 000 Griquas, Rolong and Thlaping. While Hoffman focused on local diplomacy, Treasurer Jacob Groenendaal and a 26 year-old Irish land surveyor called Joseph Orpen wrote the Free States' first constitution. And this was far more sophisticated than the Transvaal Constitution which was based on the Trekker 33 point manifesto and the Old Testament. In the Cape, the growing density of farm settlement had led to the post of Surveyor General way back in 1826. This officer would oversee surveys within the colony, promote a trigonometrical survey and then produce a map of the Cape and if possible, beyond. Charles Cornwallis Michel who was an energetic colonel of the Royal Engineers set about his task. He also had a perchant for sketch and watercolour. Unfortunately for everyone, except for greedy speculators, he could not complete his task effectively. An enormous backlog of farm and town plot diagrams awaited approval and by mid-1830s, the task was deemed impossible for Michel and his two assistants.

So, grab your life vests, your philosophical questions, and your disdain for the media, and join the Buddies as we take the plunge into Before the Fall. Intro/Book Report(0:00-4:28)Stock Up/Down (4:29-30:09)Favorite Scene/Character (30:10-36:39)Love/Hate (36:40-45:55)Conclusion (45:56-47:49) NEXT BOOK: The Winter King (The Warlord Trilogy) by Bernard Cornwell

Jazz Manouche is a style of music that mixes jazz with traditional French dance music and Romani, also known as Gypsy music. Django Reinhardt is considered to be the pioneer of jazz manouche in the 1930s. Django is, in fact, one of the most influential guitarists of all time. His music and recordings are classics and they have touched the hearts and minds of others for decades. One such artist moved by this legendary figure is vocalist Tatiana Eva Marie.  Tatiana's latest project, a celebration of the music of Django Reinhardt called “Djangology,” sprang from a desire to reconnect with her Romani (Gypsy) origins.  Born into a family of musicians, painters, and poets, Tatiana was immersed in a world of show business, arts, and culture. Moved by the music she grew up with, her Gypsy soul carried her on a musical journey that took Tatiana from her birthplace of Switzerland to a bohemian lifestyle at the young age of 15 when she entered college in Paris. From there, Tatiana continued to travel across the globe, eventually winding up in New York City where she continues to develop new projects when she's not traveling.  Join me in exploring the colorful and fascinating story of this artist who the New York Times calls,  “The Gypsy jazz warbler.”

Today's podcast: Before Donald Trump, the Biden administration wrote to PM Justin Trudeau, and Congress had The Northern Border Caucus as Americans had real concerns about the proliferation of threats from Canada to the U.S. - Is it all posturing by Donald Trump that Canada is not fulfilling our agreement to have each other's back? Our guest says, indeed not only posturing by Trump. - On border security, the premiers are stepping up with their own plans, in the absence of federal leadership. And the premiers' plans can actually be implemented, while the federal plan "isn't really worth the paper it's written on." And on the subject of tariffs, does it make any sense for Canada to threaten retaliatory tariffs against the U.S.?   Guest: Christian Leuprecht. Distinguished professor at Royal Military College How many do you remember? Might you have forgotten a few? RIGHT DISHONOURABLE: Scandals that defined the Trudeau era is a piece by Bryan Passifiume Post Media national politics reporter. Guest: Bryan Passifiume, Post Media national politics reporter  As we wind down the program, longtime guests and friends join us. Tim Danson has been the lawyer for the French and Mahaffy families for 30+ years in their battle for whatever justice Canada's offender-friendly system deems acceptable. Tim was also the lawyer of Jim and Anna Stephenson whose 12-year-old son Christopher was abducted from a Brampton, Ontario shopping mall by convicted child sexual psychopath Joseph Fredericks who would murder Christopher. During the inquest into Christopher's death, the federal government refused to fund Stephenson's legal expenses, suggesting federal government lawyers could properly represent Stephenson's concerns. After a program with Jim Stephenson, Christopher's father, and Tim Danson, the federal Minister of Justice and Attorney General Doug Lewis demanded to be on our program to 'set us straight.' The next morning Lewis spent two painful (for him) hours in-studio. The following morning, the Minister of Justice called in to say the federal government had been wrong and that Ottawa would not pay the Stephenson family's legal costs. Tim Danson had not sent the Stephenson's one invoice. Guest: Tim Danson, lawyer for the French and Mahaffy families U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has said he would not use military force to annex Canada, but that he will use economic force to create an economic union between the U.S. and Canada. - But, the United States did have a detailed plan for a military invasion of Canada in 1935 and today, near Watertown, New York, some 10 miles from the New York/Ontario border and some 50 or so miles from Ottawa sits a massive U.S. military installation, Fort Drum, home of the 10th Mountain Division of the U.S. Army.

Last year, the story of a French rape case and the woman at its centre, Gisèle Pelicot, captured global attention. Dominique Pelicot was sentenced to 20 years in jail for charges related to drugging, raping, and inviting others to rape his then-wife, Gisèle. 50 others were also found guilty of varying charges including rape, attempted rape, and sexual assault. The case is back in the headlines after the founder of a website (used by Dominique Pelicot to recruit other men to rape his wife) was charged by French police. In today's deep dive, we take a look at the outlawed chatroom 'Coco' and it's founder, Isaac Steidl. Hosts: Emma Gillespie and Zara SeidlerProducer: Orla Maher Want to support The Daily Aus?

In our podcast, we engage in thoughtful discussions based on questions submitted by our listeners. Our aim is to explore these enquiries and steer the conversation towards environmental issues and solutions. Vinroy, from Linstead, Jamaica asks the initial question - “The global majority are people of colour, so where was the tipping point that saw the white man dominate?” Stuart initiates the discussion by examining various historical empires, including the French, German, English, Dutch, and Roman empires, noting their use of slavery. He suggests that technological advancements may have contributed to the dominance of white men in history.  William builds on this by pointing out geographical advantages, such as Great Britain's island location. Stuart proposes inviting an academic expert, such as a historian from Oxford University, to delve deeper into the topic. He highlights several tipping points that have led to this dominance.  William brings up the early history of colonization, while Stuart emphasizes the deep historical roots of these developments. Stuart concludes by encouraging listeners to research this topic further. The next question comes from Felix, in Novi Sad, Serbia - “The installation of disabled access shouldn't be just about disabled people. It should be about all of us, as when we all get older we all might need these facilities. Thats how to market it. It's not for ‘them' it's for ‘us all'”. Stuart kicks off by suggesting, Felix, you've practically answered your own question. Why are we even here?  He then mentions chatting with a bloke from the local council. Apparently, investing in accessibility is like future-proofing yourself. Let's face it, we're all gonna need it when we're old and creaky, right? William chimes in with, if you show those decision-makers that making things accessible is for everyone, they might actually get off their backsides and do it properly for once. Stuart suggests an action: Go check out the new disabled access around town. Spoiler alert: it's for all of us. William's action is a bit of an adventure: Take a stroll with a mate in a wheelchair.

The daughter of a French man found guilty in a mass rape trial has told the BBC she hopes he dies in prison. Caroline Darian said she'd been shocked when she learned that her father had repeatedly drugged and raped her mother and encouraged other men to sexually assault her. Also on the programme: emergency teams in Los Angeles have made progress in tackling wildfires which have killed eleven people, but more evacuation orders have been issued; and Sam Moore, one half of the legendary soul duo, Sam and Dave, has died at the age of 89.
