Stage 3 of Sahara Gravel took the riders away from the Atlas Mountains and towards the Sahara Desert, with 95 kilometers ending in a tailwind. Payson is joined by stage winner Eddy Le Huitouze to discuss how the race played out, but first, they do a little background on how he got here. The 22-year-old Frenchman just completed two years in the WorldTour with FDJ and has been racing bikes since the tender age of six. He talks about his time in the WorldTour, lining up for Flanders and Roubaix last year, and why he's left the road behind to race gravel this year. Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

Cymbeline also had two sons of his own, Guiderius and Arviragus, and a daughter named Imogen. His two sons were kidnapped when they were young and have never been found. Cymbeline's wife died and he married a new queen, who had a son named Cloten. He wants Imogen to marry Cloten but she defies him by marrying Posthumus instead. The couple secretly exchange a ring and bracelet before Cymbeline banishes Posthumus in fury. Cloten tries to pick a fight with Posthumus but Posthumus avoids the conflict, choosing to go to his father's old friend Philario in Rome, and leaving his servant, Pisanio, behind with Imogen. Cloten boasts of his bravery as his servant ridicules him under his breath. Once in Rome, Posthumus meets a nobleman named Iachimo and a Frenchman who recalls Posthumus describing Imogen as fairer than the fairest ladies in France. Iachimo scoffs at this and wagers with Posthumus that he can seduce Imogen, betting against the ring that Imogen gave her husband.

Six teenage boys left a house party in Pickering, Ontario, in the early hours of March 17, 1995, and vanished without a trace. Durham Regional Police settled on a theory almost immediately — the boys stole a boat, went joyriding on the frigid waters of Lake Ontario, and drowned. Case closed.Except it wasn't. Not even close.In this episode, we go beyond the official narrative and dig into the facts that never made the headlines. The details that got buried, ignored, or actively suppressed.We examine why Jay Boyle called his girlfriend at 1:30 a.m. and told her he was coming to her apartment — only to never arrive. We break down the surveillance footage that only captured three of the six boys at the marina, while the other three were never seen on camera at all. We look at evidence suggesting Danny Higgins, the youngest of the group, may not have even been with the others when they disappeared.We cover the two girlfriends who called police at 3:30 a.m. to report the boys missing — and were dismissed. The 36-hour delay before any real search began. The sidescan sonar contract that was lined up and then cancelled by Durham Police without explanation. The "unsinkable" boat that was never found. The gas can that turned up on the wrong side of the lake with no water inside it after nearly two weeks adrift. We reveal the three unidentified strangers caught on the marina's surveillance tape just minutes after the boys — who were never investigated.The critical dockside camera that went offline at 2:21 a.m. at the worst possible moment. And the surveillance footage that Durham Police told a private investigator didn't exist — until his third access to information request proved otherwise.We walk through the 1998 discovery of red jeans and human remains in the Niagara River that matched Jay Boyle's description — a discovery the Boyle family wasn't told about for 15 years. The bureaucratic nightmare that followed. The broken chain of evidence. And the forensic results that raised more questions than they answered.This episode is built on the 13-year investigation of private investigator Bruce Ricketts, who worked this case pro bono until his death in January 2024, and on the documented record he left behind. The boys: Jay Boyle (17), Chad Smith (18), Robbie Rumboldt (17), Jamie Lefebvre (17), Michael Cummins (17), and Danny Higgins (16).The case remains open. The boys are still classified as missing persons.Anyone with information is asked to contact the Durham Regional Police Service at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 2511.

On the night of March 16, 1995, six teenage boys left a house party in Pickering, Ontario and headed toward the East Shore Marina at Frenchman's Bay. They told friends they'd be back before sunrise. None of them were ever seen again.Jay Boyle, 17. Chad Smith, 18. Robbie Rumboldt, 17. Jamie Lefebvre, 17. Michael Cummins, 17. Danny Higgins, 16.Known collectively as the Lost Boys of Pickering or the Frenchman Bay Six, their disappearance remains one of Canada's most baffling unsolved cases thirty years later.In this episode, we walk through the full timeline of that night, from the party to the marina, the surveillance footage that captured three of the boys entering the property at 1:48 a.m., and the unidentified individuals recorded on that same footage just minutes later.We examine the thirty-six-hour delay before police launched a search, the massive air, land, and water operation that followed, and the single piece of physical evidence ever recovered — a gas can found twelve days later on the American side of the lake near Wilson, New York.We dig into the official theory from the Durham Regional Police Service, that the boys stole a fourteen-foot Boston Whaler and capsized on the frigid waters of Lake Ontario, and we examine the serious questions raised by private investigator Bruce Ricketts, who spent over thirteen years working the case without pay before his death in January 2024. Ricketts challenged nearly every aspect of the investigation, from the cancelled sidescan sonar search to the surveillance video that police later claimed didn't exist in their records, to the human remains found in the Niagara River in 1998 that the Boyle family didn't learn about for fifteen years.No bodies. No boat. No wreckage. No clothing. No personal effects. Six teenagers, gone without a trace. This is a case defined not by what was found, but by what wasn't, and by the questions that three decades of silence have never answered.If you have information about this case, contact the Durham Regional Police Service at 905-579-1520, extension 2511, or submit an anonymous tip to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. Case reference number 95-26936.

Let me start today's episode with some outrageous national stereotypes. If an Englishman is disappointed with the way the affairs of state are conducted, he writes a letter to his member of Parliament. A Frenchman in that same situation rents a tractor and dumps manure outside the Palais d'Elysee. A German threatens to file a lawsuit with the constitutional court, the Bundesverfassungsgericht.Where did the Germans pick up the belief that courts and the law will protect them against government overreach? Sure, 19th and early 20th century judges had on occasion stood up to the Kaiser's administration and the Grundgesetz, the liberal constitution of 1949, had become a cornerstone of our national identity following the comprehensive loss of moral standing.But there is also a long strain that goes back to the Holy Roman Empire and the two imperial courts, the Reichskammergericht and the Reichshofrat. These courts have a bad reputation, not only because Johan Wolfgang von Goethe saw it fit to ridicule his former place of work. However, not everyone shared this negative perspective. Many social groups down to mere commoners relied on these independent judges to protect their life and property against rapacious princes.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

Bienvenue, listeners! Yes, we're living through the longest, grimmest winter ever, but Jessica and Elizabeth are heading to the south of France again (or as the ghostwriter would have us believe, the first time. René who?) to spend the summer (what summer? Who cares!) as au pairs. To our great delight, Todd basically tells Liz he can't trust her and sets her free for the summer. You'd think she'd be delighted given her previous antics but she spends the entire journey to the Chateau d'Amour Inconnu crying and sulking. Unlike Jessica, who strikes up an instant rapport with a hot young Frenchman and his roguish father. Jessica's fallen in love - but can Jacques and Louis be trusted? All we know is they're both too good for the Wakefields. And as they head south, meanwhile, down at the Chateau, a young prince confronts his destiny - and has a prophetic dream...  Remember, if you can help us expand our SVU collection, which we would really appreciate, you can see what we need here and mail us at svhpodcast@gmail.com: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wgq5a-0C3zoTC065tOzJmSkI2kNBBe2K38Hu8jn8qg8/edit?usp=sharing  This show is part of the HeadStuff Podcast Network.

Elliott Jackson and Ryan Hildred discuss a big week at Rovers. Valerien Ismael is gone, who comes next? They run through the candidates and their prefered choices and pick out where things went wrong for the Frenchman and whether he was entirely to blame. There were no fresh signings on deadline day meaning Rovers didn't sign the striker they wanted. Have they got enough to get them over the line and avoid relegation? A 1-0 win over the Owls on Tuesday night lifted them out of the relegation zone on goal difference. They travel to Norwich City next up, who have been in excellent form.

What does it take to become a revolutionary in more than one revolution? In this revisited conversation with Mike Duncan, we explore the life of the Marquis de Lafayette—an ambitious young Frenchman who crossed the Atlantic to fight for the American cause and later carried those lessons into the political storms of France. From early idealism to a complicated role in two upheavals, Lafayette's story reveals how ideas, alliances, and personal relationships shaped the Age of Revolutions. You'll hear how Lafayette became close to George Washington, what he learned in America, and why his legacy makes the most sense when you follow him across borders.

Je viens d'ailleurs de finir le Frenchman ! J'observe que les hôteliers font très peu de sport. C'est un paradoxe pour des personnes qui apportent autant de soin à leurs clients... Et pourtant, les bienfaits du sport au travail sont nombreux pour les salariés : cela améliore la santé donc moins d'absentéisme (pour les salariés, faire du sport régulièrement réduit jusqu'à presque 60% de l'absentéisme en entreprise), et améliore aussi sa productivité de 1 à 14%, selon une enquête du Comité National Olympique et Sportif Français (CNOSF) et par le Mouvement des Entreprises de France. De plus, selon une étude menée en 2015 par Goodwill-Management, le sport offre à l'entreprise un gain de 5 à 7% sur son budget annuel sur les dépenses de santé.

Wolfie looks into a busy day regarding transfers at Nottingham Forest! Check out FFTV Merch! Click Here: https://forestfantv.com/ The January window is entering its final straight, and things are moving at lightning speed at the City Ground! David Ornstein has dropped a major bombshell reporting that Nottingham Forest have officially submitted a £35 million bid for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. The Frenchman is reportedly keen on a move to the East Midlands as he looks for a fresh challenge, and with personal terms not expected to be an issue, this one could move quickly. Wolfie breaks down the likelihood of this deal crossing the line before the deadline, especially with the added spice of Forest facing Palace this Sunday. Is Mateta the clinical finisher Sean Dyche needs to guarantee our safety? In a shocking twist, we also have significant updates on Douglas Luiz's future. Reports from Fabrizio Romano and Sky Sports suggest a "Here We Go" agreement is in place for Luiz to return to Aston Villa on loan with an option to buy, effectively cutting his spell at Forest short. It's been a frustrating time for the Brazilian at the City Ground, and with Unai Emery facing a midfield injury crisis, the move seems to suit all parties. We're also diving into the surprise links to Brighton captain Lewis Dunk. We want to hear from you in the comments—how do you feel about Douglas Luiz heading back to Villa Park? Is Mateta the "statement" signing we need, or should we be looking at other targets like Jørgen Strand Larsen? And what do you make of the Lewis Dunk rumours—is he exactly the kind of Premier League experience we need alongside Murillo? It's going to be a wild few days as the clock ticks down, so make sure you're subscribed to Forest Fan TV for all the latest breaking news and analysis.

Wolfie looks at the latest transfer rumours regarding Forest moving for Palace striker Mateta! Check out FFTV Merch! Click Here: https://forestfantv.com/ The January transfer window is heating up and a major new name has entered the frame! Italian sports journalist Matteo Moretto has linked Nottingham Forest with a sensational move for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. Reports suggest that Mateta is desperate for a move away from Selhurst Park this winter, and Forest have reportedly stepped up by offering the Frenchman a contract to lead the line at the City Ground. With our current striker shortage and the search for goalscoring reinforcements reaching a critical point, could Mateta be the physical, proven Premier League presence that Sean Dyche needs to save our season? The stakes for our next match against Brentford have just been raised to a whole new level following today's results. West Ham's victory over Sunderland has seen the table shift against us, piling even more pressure on the trip to the Gtech Community Stadium. Wolfie dives into the tactical nightmare facing Dyche and asks the question every fan is thinking: is there any genuine hope left for this match? We want to hear from you in the comments—would Mateta be the perfect signing to keep us up, or is this just another name on a long list of January rumours? Can you see us getting anything at all against Brentford, or have today's results killed your optimism? Jump into the discussion, let us know if you think Marinakis needs to break the bank for a new forward, and don't forget to like and subscribe for the latest Nottingham Forest transfer news and match previews.

Henri Littière and his adulterous wife Suzanne thought they'd come up with a novel way to combat her philandering - by commissioning a custom-made chastity belt. But on 21st January, 1934, Littière was sentenced to three months in prison for cruelty to his spouse. It's a strange story, but not half as weird as how the myth of chastity belts gained traction in the first place - not from medieval days, but in fact thanks to Victorian prudishness. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly pick holes in 1934 Parisian court reporting; discover the trend for 21st century chastity belts; and explain how widespread belief in the belts can be traced back to a wacky German author's offbeat sense of humour…  Further Reading: • ‘FRANCE: Infibulation' (TIME, 1934): http://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,787768,00.html • ‘Are They Real?

Send us a text*** TRIGGER WARNING *** Domestic abuse and sexual abuse are mentioned in this episode.My guest on the podcast today is Melanie Hamlett, a comedian, journalist, public speaker, and storyteller based in France. She's written dozens of articles for publications like Harper's Bazaar, The Washington Post, Glamour, The Daily Beast, Slate, Cosmo, The Guardian, Playboy, and The Huffington Post. Her viral article for Harper's Bazaar called ‘Men Have No Friends and Women Bear the Burden' has been referenced in dozens of podcasts, books, and publications including GQ, The New Yorker,  Oprah, and Slate, and was also the inspiration for the sketch Man Park on Saturday Night Live, according to Vanity Fair.  I came across Melanie on social media, and it's her TikTok and YouTube pages where she's doing most of her storytelling, culture criticism, and journalistic work these days — and she is HILARIOUS. She is a real force of nature, and you will hear that loud and clear in this conversation, so buckle up and be prepared for more swearing than usual. Melanie herself is actually married to a Frenchman — hence she lives in France — but she has very strong views about men, the patriarchy, and how women have been conditioned to essentially abandon themselves for the sake of romantic relationships. She is childfree. In our conversation, we delve into Melanie's past as an outdoor guide, her experiences in male-dominated environments, and her viral article 'Men Have No Friends and Women Bear the Burden.' We discuss societal issues, the impact of patriarchy, and the importance of fostering genuine communities and dating oneself. We also talk about Scott Galloway who Melanie is not a fan of, the need for women to centre their own well-being and build strong, supportive networks, and much more.Follow Melanie on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melhamlett?lang=enFollow Melanie on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRW66WXeQGNdV1NtyAIv0CgWatch one of Melanie's reels about Scott Galloway: https:// Support the showBuy my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Join my membership community for single women, Thrive Solo: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/thrivesolo Download my FREE PDF 'Top 10 Comebacks for the MostAnnoying Questions Single Women Get Asked' Go to: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/comebacks Check out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thrivesolowithlucymeggeson Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=share Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrivesolowithlucymeggeson/ Email me: lucy@lucymeggeson.com And thank you so much for listening!

AUDI FIRST TO TEST THEIR 2026 CAR IN BARCELONA! ANOTHER MEETING SCHEDULED OVER THE ENGINE LOOP HOLE ISSUE! TOTO WOLF CONFIDENT MERCEDES HAS DONE IT AGAIN! DAKAR RALLY FIRST WEEK HAS BEEN AN EXCITING FIGHT BETWEEN FORD, DACIA AND TOYOTA…AND FERNANDO SAYS… THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER…MORE VINTAGE BANTER BETWEEN THE HOST AND NASIR…THIS WEEK WE HAVE PETER WINDSOR OF USF1 FAME…AND OUR BONUS…VENEZUELA'S OWN MILKA DUNO…BRAVO! Smiles for miles as Benavides brothers score historic multi-discipline double! We didn't have to wait long for the 2026 Dakar Rally to serve up a slice of history in its second week. The fastest biker on Stage 7 was Luciano Benavides and the winner of the Challenger stage was his older brother Kevin! The siblings from Salta, Argentina were unbeatable on the 462 kilometres of dunes and fast tracks that stretched between Riyadh and Wadi Ad-Dawasir. A new chapter of the Dakar's near 50-year history has been written, the first time a pair of brothers have won the same stage in different categories! Red Bull KTM Factory Racing biker Luciano Benavides got his second week of the Dakar off to the best possible start. Luciano is riding under his lucky number 77 and this victory on Stage 7 was the seventh stage win of his Dakar career. Things are really starting to add up for the Argentinian biker.   “It's the first time in history that two brothers win in two categories on the same day. This is something incredible!” – Luciano Benavides Luciano was waiting at the Wadi Ad-Dawasir bivouac to congratulate his brother Kevin Benavides on the family's second victory of the day. Kevin is debuting in the Challenger class after switching from two wheels to four. The elder Benavides brother won the Dakar bike race twice. Now he's got his first Dakar stage victory behind a steering wheel. “I never dreamed something like this could happen, I'm so happy for this moment. It was tough to get this victory. When I finished the stage they told me that Luciano had also won! It's a proud day for our family.” – Kevin Benavides Luciano Benavides is currently third overall in the bike race, but just 15 seconds behind Honda rider Ricky Brabec in second. Top of the pile is Benavides's KTM team-mate Daniel Sanders who is over four minutes in front of his nearest rivals. The Australian refused to get sucked into any tactical battle on Stage 7. The day's big mover in the Ultimate class was Mattias Ekström and his Ford Raptor T1+. A stage win for the Swede saw him climb from fourth overall at the Rest Day to hold second place tonight. Ekström scored his maiden podium finish 12 months ago and his sights are firmly fixed on the Dakar's biggest prize of all this time around. “When I got to the end the gaps were bigger than I expected, but still smaller than I wished. Now we're second in the overall and there's a lot of racing left.” – Mattias Ekström   Ultimate class leader Nasser Al-Attiyah goes into tomorrow's 481-kilometre loop stage around the Wadi Ad-Dawasir bivouac with an advantage of 4m47s over Ekström. Al-Attiyah picked up some superficial damage to his Dacia Sandrider on Stage 7 that will need to be repaired before the next jumbo day of racing. “We hit a tree and that completely removed the left corner of our car. That will get fixed tonight.” – Nasser Al-Attiyah The most dramatic moment in the Ultimate class on Stage 7 was provided by Henk Lategan of Toyota Gazoo Racing. The South African had done enough on the way to Wadi Ad-Dawasir to take the overall lead from Al-Attiyah. Then a mechanical issue stopped Lategan in his tracks just shy of the finish line. The Toyota Hilux driver will start Stage 8 sitting fourth overall, now 7m21s behind his Dacia rival. “We were going so well today until we came to a bump and a dip. When we hit the dip it broke the damper. We had to stop to take the old one out and put the new one in.” – Henk Lategan A superb opening week for the Defender Rally Team rolled into the second week with another stage win in the Stock category. It was the Defender Dakar D7X‑R of Stéphane Peterhansel that set the pace giving Monsieur Dakar his third stage win of this Dakar. Peterhansel's team-mate Rokas Baciuška was just 21 seconds off the Frenchman's time and it's the Lithuanian who maintains the overall lead of the Stock class. “For most of the stage the average speed was very high, but there was also a section of open dunes. It was a pleasure to drive this stage, it was perfect for the Defender.” – Stéphane Peterhansel In the SSV class there's still everything to play for in fight for those podium spots. Portugal's Gonçalo Guerreiro is laser-focused on recovering time lost in the first week and promoting himself from fifth overall to the podium on the remaining six stages. “This stage was completely flat out, I think it was the fastest stage until now. At one waypoint we lost two minutes and this put us behind some drivers. Overall, I'm happy with the stage we did. We were just one minute and a half down from the stage winner in the end.” – Gonçalo Guerreiro Also in the SSV class there was a much brighter start to the second week than the first week for Johan Kristoffersson. The eight-time World Rallycross champion is making his Dakar debut and the dune sections of the route are proving to be a highlight for the Swede.   “One puncture very early. We got the tyre changed quicker than before, but there's still room for improvement. Today I really enjoyed the dunes. The rest of the stage was flat out on the limiter.” – Johan Kristoffersson The Dakar Rally has returned to Wadi Ad-Dawasir for the first time since 2022 and the comeback is looking epic. Tomorrow is the longest timed special stage of the 48th edition of the Dakar Rally. The 481-kilometre loop around the Wadi Ad-Dawasir bivouac encompasses a wide variety of terrain. Stage 8 is like a mini Dakar Rally raced over one single day with dunes, fast piste and a host of navigational challenges on the menu plus much else besides! Italian F4 Champion Kean Nakamura-Berta joins the Williams F1 Team Driver Academy Atlassian Williams F1 Team is pleased to welcome reigning Italian F4 Champion Kean Nakamura-Berta to the Williams F1 Team Driver Academy. The Japanese-Slovak driver has already demonstrated consistency and speed throughout his early career, with multiple karting titles to his name. Kean made his karting debut at seven years old, quickly going on to compete in international karting and securing both the 2021 CIK-FIA OKJ World Championship and the 2022 CIK-FIA OK European Championship. Graduating to single seaters at the end of 2023 in the F4 South East Asia Championship, Kean had an impressive debut campaign securing two pole positions and a podium, further adding to this with two race wins and six further podiums in the 2024 Formula UAE Championship. 2025 was a breakout year for Kean as he secured the Italian F4 Championship with nine wins and multiple podiums across the season. The rising star will challenge for the Formula Regional Middle East and Formula Regional European championships in 2026. As part of the Academy, Kean will have the team's full support and guidance in nurturing his talent and developing his skills throughout his progression in the junior categories of motorsport.  The Academy supports drivers on every rung of the motorsport ladder, working with them on and off the track to develop the skills necessary to race at the top level. The Academy has a proud tradition of supporting young talent, which has most recently seen Academy alumnus Franco Colapinto graduate to an F1 race seat.  Kean Nakamura-Berta: “I'm very excited to be joining the Williams F1 Team Driver Academy this year. It's a team that has achieved so much and has a vast history, and I'm proud to be part of it. Racing in Formula Regional will be a new challenge but one that I'm especially looking forward to. Thank you to everyone at Williams for believing in me, and I can't wait to start this new chapter!” Sven Smeets, Sporting Director, Atlassian Williams F1 Team: “We're thrilled to have Kean join the Williams F1 Team Driver Academy at this key moment in his career. He has shown a lot of promise, proving that he is capable of learning, adapting and ultimately winning championships. We look forward to working with him this year and will watch keenly as he hits the track.”

In the early hours of March 17, 1995, six teenage boys from Pickering, Ontario, vanished without a trace. Jay Boyle, Michael Cummins, Daniel Higgins, Jamie Lefebvre, Chad Smith, and Robbie Rumboldt, all between the ages of 16 and 18, had spent the evening at a house party before making their way to the shores of Lake Ontario. It is believed that, in the spirit of youthful adventure, they decided to take boats out onto the lake—despite the frigid temperatures and the dangers of the open water.Sometime between 12:50 a.m. and 1:30 a.m., the boys were last seen near Frenchman's Bay, a small harbor in Pickering. By morning, they were gone. Concerned parents and friends reported them missing, and an extensive search effort was launched. Investigators found that two boats and a three-wheeled ATV were also missing, leading authorities to conclude that the boys had attempted to cross the lake. However, no distress calls were made, and no bodies or wreckage were ever found.Despite an exhaustive search by the Canadian Coast Guard and local authorities, only a gas canister—matching one from one of the missing boats—washed up on the shores of nearby Wilson, New York, weeks later. Beyond that, there were no signs of the boys or their vessels. The case baffled investigators, as the lake that night was reported to be rough and unfit for such an excursion. Some theorized that the boys capsized and drowned in the icy waters, while others speculated that they may have made it to land and disappeared under more mysterious circumstances.Over the years, many theories have emerged, including possible foul play, an attempted escape from troubled home lives, or even a run-in with criminal activity on the waterfront. The lack of physical evidence has kept the case open, fueling speculation and hope among the families that answers may still come to light.Decades later, the Lost Boys of Pickering remain one of Canada's most haunting unsolved mysteries. What really happened on that fateful night?

The core of this entire messy situation was the evening of March 31st when Talleyrand and Tsar Alexander meet.  This moment that everyone could feel was decisive at the time, the Allies were all hyper aware of the importance of these few days, the core idea is that it did matter a great deal what the tsar thought and what he wanted.  And there was one Frenchman he respected and trusted above all, and that was Talleyrand.  Alexander's life experience and spiritual journey was leading him to a place where he would turn over the one big decision to Talleyrand.  And Talleyrand had actually thought this question out deeply and thoroughly.

In this final Scouser Tommies episode of 2025, Jim Boardman and Jay Reid look back not just at the last week of Liverpool action but at a record-breaking roller-coaster of a calendar year, with the highs of that title win starting to feel like a lifetime ago when the Reds went through a slump they looked incapable of getting out of. There's also a look ahead, not just to the busy festive period but to the year in front of us. Two wins, with two clean sheets, is more like we'd expect from the Reds, and although it doesn't yet make up for that terrible streak, as Jay points out, there are some shoots of optimism. The results are better, the performances have improved, but perhaps most importantly there has finally been a tactical shift from the boss that gets the best out of the squad he has at his disposal. The optimism is tempered with caution, because whilst the new tactics have been fruitful, it's only a matter of time before these are sussed out too by opposition bosses. For Jim, it is vital that Slot reacts if and when that does happen, because during that slump Liverpool weren't just regularly beaten, they were regularly hammered. Jay is delighted to see Milos Kerkez finally being deployed in a way that we saw him play before he arrived at Anfield, something he's asked for all season on this show. Similarly, on the opposite flank, Joe Gomez was allowed to play like a full-back - getting an assist too - rather than as a converted centre-back. Back-to-basics defending and better positional discipline have made a difference, and as Jay points out, so has the freedom and discipline of Jones, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai and Mac Allister to rotate in midfield while ensuring defensive gaps were filled. Playing the best players in their best positions can also be a huge help to a side that's struggling. Jim notes that Hugo Ekitiké looks like an "edge-of-the-seat" player, the kind you know will put chances away. The two braces in two successive games are just a part of what he's offering up front. Isak might be the record signing and might need games to get fit, but, as Jay points out, it won't have done Hugo's confidence a lot of good to be dropped for a player who, despite the price tag, is nowhere near ready to be a first-choice Reds striker. His time will come, that much seems certain, but maybe it will come sooner if he's partnered with the confident and in-form Frenchman. As we look ahead to a busy festive period - and to 2026 itself - Jay and Jim wonder what the new year might bring. Will the centre-backs get some cover, some competition, maybe even an eventual successor to Virgil? Arne Slot seems safe for now, and the current form is encouraging, but will he still be in his job by the start of the new season? Expectations at Anfield remain high, but there's a lot of work to be done to live up to them, regardless of what happened last season. The festive period offers a good chance to make inroads towards meeting those demands. Four games that Liverpool should be able to get at least 10 points from, all in the league as the Champions League has its winter break. One game at a time and all that, but get these four games right and the next one, against Arsenal, may have a very different feel to it than might have been expected a couple of weeks ago. The first of those four is against Tottenham, a fixture that has had its fair share of goals over the years. The away fixture last term saw Slot's side concede three, but unlike this season they managed to come away with all three points, bagging six of their own. The home fixture was, of course, memorable for reasons beyond that one match itself and the six goals it featured, because it was the one that finally clinched the title for the Reds. As always, there's time to chuckle at the mentality of the old neighbours, who just can't break out of type. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Matt's back in New York, he's somehow regained his secret identity—don't ask him how, he's very cagey about it—and he's traded the bright red suit for a slicker, darker black one. On top of that, he's now working as a prosecutor for the DA's office. So Daredevil by night, ADA by day… because nothing says “healthy work-life balance” like doubling down on stress.  And for reasons only Matt understands, he decides this is the perfect time to take on a protégé. Enter Blindspot—a kid genius with an invisibility suit, an undocumented immigrant background, and all the ambition (and naïveté) Matt had at his age. Matt trains him, pushes him, and absolutely refuses to admit to anyone that he might be in way over his head as a mentor.  The first big arc is the Tenfingers saga, centered around a cult leader in Chinatown who—yes—literally has ten fingers on each hand. He's stolen power from The Hand, his followers think he's some kind of holy savior, and Blindspot's mother is deep in the cult, which drags the kid into the conflict whether he wants it or not. The whole thing spirals into a massive church showdown that ends with The Hand (and then a giant beast on behalf of the hand) showing up to wipe Tenfingers off the map. Blindspot is injured, but he gets a harsh lesson in what Daredevil's world really looks like.  Following that we get a two-issue story “Elektric Connections” with the return of Elektra. First she shows up in Matt's courtroom during trial, then asks to meet Daredevil. When she does, she attacks him. Blindspot jumps in to try to save Daredevil, but Elektra breaks his arm. Elektra's convinced she has a daughter who's gone missing and that Daredevil is involved. Turns out it was a trick and after finally convincing her the “evidence” she was given wasn't real, she approaches the man who gave it to her. He breaks the planted memories with the phrase “The tangled web we weave!”. Elektra is relieved she won't be corrupting a child but very angry at the person who deceived her.   Then we get the “Blind Man's Bluff” story arc that feature's a team up with Spider-Man. Matt is posing as a Frenchman, playing Texas Hold 'em in a tournament and intends to rob someone at a Casino in Macau, which is as fun a story as it sounds. This will be our spotlight story for the week.   The year ends with the start of a terrifying “Dark Art” story that starts with the discovery of a full wall mural made from human blood. We are going to hold off until 2017 to discuss the entire story, but if you watched season one of Daredevil Born Again, you might have an idea of just who Daredevil and Blindspot are dealing with.  This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil Volume 5, Issue 8 August 2016 and Issue 9 September 2016 “Blind Man's Bluff Part 1 and 2”  Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway The Marvel Reboot.

Bon, il y a un jeune français qui s'est fait arrêter à Saint-Domingue. Well, there's a young Frenchman who was arrested in Santo Domingo.Et la raison, c'est qu'il a essayé de passer une grosse quantité de cocaïne dans son corps. And the reason is that he tried to smuggle a large quantity of cocaine in his body.On parle d'un jeune de 19 ans, il avait avalé, écoutez bien, 1,6 kg de cocaïne.
