In this episode of The Music in Me, I'm celebrating some of my favorite duets from musicals! There's something special about hearing two characters share a song, whether they're falling in love, celebrating a friendship, arguing, competing, or just being completely over-the-top. I'm talking about fourteen unforgettable duets, including “All I Ask of You” from The Phantom of the Opera, “For Good” from Wicked, “Suddenly Seymour” from Little Shop of Horrors, “Take Me or Leave Me” from Rent, “The Confrontation” from Les Misérables, and plenty more. And, of course, we'll finish with the wonderfully dramatic “Agony” from Into the Woods. Along the way, I'll share the stories behind these songs, what's happening between the characters, and what makes each duet so memorable. From romance and friendship to rivalry and heartbreak, these songs prove that sometimes one voice just isn't enough!What did you think of this episode?

“Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, ‘It has come at last—salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down to earth—the one who accuses them before our God day and night.’” (Revelation 12:10 NLT) Victor Hugo, the author of Les Misérables, observed, “A good general must penetrate the brain of his enemy.” Understanding how an enemy thinks is the first step in defeating him. As believers, we face a formidable enemy in the devil. Yet, thanks to God’s Word, we have a pretty good sense of how the devil thinks and works. The apostle Paul urged believers in Corinth to forgive “so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes” (2 Corinthians 2:11 NLT). One of the devil’s favorite evil schemes is to accuse believers. And he is relentless in this pursuit. Revelation 12:10 says, “Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, ‘It has come at last—salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down to earth—the one who accuses them before our God day and night’” (NLT). Here’s how he works. First, he comes at you with a temptation, usually one that’s carefully crafted to hit you where you’re most vulnerable. Suddenly, an ungodly, objectionable, dishonorable image or idea appears in your brain and tries to make a lasting impression. The effect can be jarring. You think, “Whoa, where did that come from?” as you try to scrub it from your consciousness. But the devil is quick to pounce. He goes into full prosecutor mode, preying on your conscience and self-image. He might say something like, “You are so twisted! What’s your problem? Why would you think such a horrible thought? And you call yourself a Christian! What kind of representative of Christ are you?” Left unchecked, his accusations can cause spiritual damage. But his accusations don’t go unchecked. Jesus serves as your defense attorney. He intercedes on your behalf. Jesus once said to Peter, “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat” (Luke 22:31 NLT). But then He went on to say, “But I have pleaded in prayer for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail” (verse 32 NLT). Jesus counters the devil’s accusations with prayerful intercession. That’s what Paul was talking about when he wrote, “Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us” (Romans 8:34 NLT). The devil’s accusations are no match for Jesus’ defense. Don’t believe the lies of your enemy. See yourself as God sees you: forgiven and righteous because of the sacrifice of His Son. Reflection question: When are you most vulnerable to believing the devil’s accusations against you?

Cold Spring prepares for riverfront flooding Gov. Kathy Hochul on Friday (Sept. 25) declared a state of emergency for Westchester County, New York City and Long Island ahead of a nor'easter expected to hit over the weekend, although the forecast is less severe for the Highlands. The state cautioned residents, especially in shoreline and low-lying coastal communities, to take precautions because of expected high winds, dangerous surf and flooding. The worst impacts are expected overnight Friday through Sunday morning. The National Weather Service issued a flood advisory on Friday for Putnam County that will continue through 2 p.m. Sunday. It expects the worst local flooding at high tide on Saturday morning. The local forecast for Saturday is mostly cloudy with a steady temperature of about 56 degrees. It will be breezy, with a north wind of 18 to 20 mph and gusts up to 34 mph. The chance of precipitation is 70 percent, mostly after 8 a.m. in Philipstown and after 11 a.m. in Beacon. On Sunday, the chance of precipitation is 90 percent, with a northeast wind of 17 to 22 mph. The chance of precipitation for Monday is also 90 percent. Cold Spring officials said their chief concern is along the riverfront, as a full moon increases the likelihood that the Hudson will breach its banks. The village restricted parking on Market Street throughout the weekend to provide an alternate evacuation route if West Street floods and said residents should be prepared for road closures in the lower village. Sandbagging material is available for village residents at the rear of the Fair Street municipal lot, next to the Riverview Restaurant. In the upper village, pumps are set up on Main Street and the tightest pinch points have been cleared along Back Brook, it said. Hudson Valley Shakespeare canceled its Saturday shows of Les Misérables and said it would announce the fate of the 5 p.m. Sunday show by noon that day. The two performances are the final ones scheduled for the 2026 season at the Philipstown venue. The annual Spirit of Beacon Day, scheduled for Sunday, has been postponed to Oct. 4. The Kids' Fishing Derby scheduled for Saturday morning at the Garrison Fish & Game Club has been postponed. Organizers of other events that have been canceled or delayed can email calendar@highlandscurrent.org to have updates placed on The Current's digital calendar. The state said coastal flooding is its primary concern; the worst flooding is expected during high tide along the south shore of Long Island, as well as parts of lower New York Harbor and coastal areas of the Bronx, Westchester and northern Nassau County along the Long Island Sound. Waves could reach 22 feet along eastern Long Island, with up to 60 mph wind gusts. The state said 5,675 workers are ready statewide to respond, including 175 overhead contractors hired by Con Edison and "cut-and-toss" crews to clear debris.

She's refreshingly honest about the lessons too: resilience, imposter syndrome, the power of networking, and how to keep going when business and military life collide.Key topicsIn this episode, Heledd explains how Recruit for Spouses began in 2011 after she searched for military spouse jobs and found almost nothing available.She shares how early assumptions about military spouses, especially that they would not work or could only do certain roles, shaped her motivation to create change.Jess and Heledd discuss how the pandemic accelerated remote working and helped shift perceptions of military spouses in the workplace.Heledd makes the case that military spouses bring adaptability, resilience, and commercial value to employers, from small businesses to large companies like Virgin.She explains the importance of moving beyond pity-based narratives and instead showing the contribution military families make to operational effectiveness and defence.Heledd reflects on imposter syndrome, including ice baths, stand-up comedy, and singing from Les Misérables as part of a confidence course.She shares a difficult financial moment when payroll was due and the business had only £2,000 in the bank, showing the reality behind growth.The conversation explores why a clear North Star matters, including having a big vision even when the first goal feels small.Heledd outlines RFS's work supporting spouses into employment, including coaching and mentoring, wellbeing support, and work with foreign and Commonwealth spouses.Jess and Heledd talk about networking as a practical skill, with Heledd sharing how late-night events and simple follow-up habits have led to real opportunities.Timestamps00:38 — Heledd returns as Jess's first guest and introduces RFS01:51 — Being the original military spouse employment advocate02:37 — The Google search that found no spouse jobs04:28 — Community support that sparked the mission06:27 — How the military spouse stereotype has changed since COVID08:25 — Why RFS pitches spouses as business assets10:58 — Imposter syndrome and the ice bath challenge13:41 — Has the landscape for spouses really changed?14:26 — Keeping the drum beating through business uncertainty15:07 — The £2,000 bank balance and payroll pressure17:08 — Why Heledd did not give up18:01 — The first RFS vision and the importance of a North Star20:55 — Looking back on how much the military spouse space has shifted21:52 — Changing policies and increasing awareness23:35 — Stronger family, stronger workforce, stronger defence25:18 — What RFS actually offers spouses today28:53 — Building a core team and stepping into strategy29:48 — Networking at the right rooms and the right time32:25 — How early networking built trust and opportunity37:40 — Why practice makes networking easier38:46 — The bravest lesson: optimism, trust, and never giving up40:51 — Why Jess's community and platform matter to spouses41:36 — Where to find RFS and its coaching and mentoring supportConnect with the Milspo Community: If you are a UK military spouse, partner, or "other half" running a business, join our thriving community of over 1,500+ members at milspo.co.uk.About The InDependent Spouse Podcast: Hosted by Jess Sands, this podcast is dedicated to modern military life, deployment support, and navigating life on the patch.

In October 2013, a young Dane named Thor Pedersen set off from his home with a single, slightly mad rule: he wanted to visit every country on earth — all of them — in one continuous journey, and to do it without ever once setting foot on an airplane. Container ships, trains, buses, and a great deal of waiting around. He thought it might take three or four years. It took almost ten. He crossed closed borders and war zones, ran out of money more than once, was stranded for two years by the global pandemic, and served the whole time as a Goodwill Ambassador for the Red Cross. In 2023 he became the first person in history to do it. In this episode, Jonathan Thomas talks to Thor about the whole extraordinary decade — and, this being the Anglotopia Podcast, spends a good while on Britain, which came remarkably early in the itinerary. Thor recounts crossing from Calais to Dover after meeting Syrian refugees at the port, being awestruck by Bristol's maritime heritage, a memorable host in Wales whose front garden contained a toilet lying on its side, a Red Cross officer in Belfast who felt like the James Bond of the Red Cross, falling for the Scottish countryside, buying dodgy Les Misérables tickets in London, a desperate dash for seasickness pills in Immingham, and Hogmanay in Inverness courtesy of a kind bartender. But the deeper story is the one Thor tells in an unusual way: he doesn't sell it as a triumph. He's honest about the loneliness, the setbacks, the cerebral malaria, the migraines, the moments at gunpoint, the two years stuck in Hong Kong — and about the thing that actually got him around the world, which turned out not to be toughness at all, but the kindness of strangers.

Thor's father sent him a link about the world's most-travelled people, and Thor — then 34, twelve years into a career in shipping and logistics, and having visited around 50 countries — discovered that roughly 200 people had reached every country, but nobody had done it entirely without flying. He describes it striking him "like lightning." 2 His definition of "every country" was deliberately generous. The UN recognizes 193 sovereign states plus two observer states (the Vatican and Palestine). Thor built on that, splitting the Danish kingdom into Denmark, the Faroes and Greenland, and splitting the UK into England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland — arriving at 203 — precisely so nobody could come back afterward and say "but what about Kosovo?" 3 Britain came very early — country numbers seven through ten, in late 2013, just weeks after leaving Denmark. He crossed Calais to Dover after meeting Syrian refugees camped by the rail tracks, was refused as a foot passenger, and got across by knocking on car windows until a driver calling himself Rambling Rat let him ride along. 4 Travelling only overland and by sea teaches you something you cannot learn from an airplane: how enormous the world actually is, and how gradually it changes. Thor points out that at borders, people wear the same clothes, eat the same food, often share a language — and the plants and animals don't care which side they're on. The real changes happen further inland. 5 He became a Red Cross Goodwill Ambassador early on, which transformed the project. Within weeks he realized it wasn't a country project but a people project. Meeting national Red Cross societies gave him rapid, genuine insight into each country — its economy, its government, whether it was a strong or weak society — and gave balance to a social media feed that otherwise risked being relentlessly, artificially upbeat. 6 Two years in, in Central Africa, everything collapsed at once: he lost financial backing, his long-distance relationship was falling apart, he was recovering from cerebral malaria, he was suffering debilitating migraines for the first time in his life, and his life was at risk more than once. It was the point at which he genuinely broke — and the point at which he first wanted to go home. He still had eight years left. 7 The pandemic stranded him in Hong Kong for two years. He'd arrived expecting a four-day transit stop. Immigration eventually told him he couldn't stay indefinitely as a visitor and offered three options: marry someone, study, or work. He ended up employed by the Danish Seamen's Church as "junior assistant to a reverend who wasn't there," shopping for seafarers trapped aboard their ships and unable to come ashore. 8 Hong Kong was both the worst and best chapter. CNN picked up his story, which went viral and transformed his profile. The Hong Kong Tourism Board nicknamed him "Hong Kong's only tourist." By the end he had two apartments, two cars, a driver's licence, a temporary ID card and a dentist. It remains the place in the world he misses most. 9 He felt no joy at all on reaching the final countries. Sri Lanka, then the Maldives on 23 May 2023 — everything had become "automated and mechanic," and he was working through interviews while everyone else scuba dived and drank martinis. The project was successful in the Maldives, but it was completed when he got home to Aarhus, 31 days later by container ship — 40 container ships in total across the decade. 10 Thor's strongest observation about travel is that most of the world is deeply ordinary. People go to work, go to school, spend time with family, follow their sports teams. He travelled through the Game of Thrones years and found everyone everywhere talking about it. He saw a boy in Libya spinning a Captain America shield fidget spinner. We are, he argues, far more connected than we think. ⠀ Soundbites 1 "I found out no one had accomplished it completely without flying. For most people that would be an uh-huh kind of moment, and then people would move on. But it struck me like lightning." — Thor on the email from his father that started everything. 2 "There's a common phrase where people say it's a small world. It really isn't. If it was a small world, I think I would have been back home a lot sooner." — Thor on what a decade overland teaches you. 3 "Around most border areas, people wear the same clothes. You get the same food on either side. The plants and the animals in the area do not care which side of the border they're on." — Thor on seeing where countries actually meet. 4 "Within weeks I realized that this wasn't a country project, that this was a people project." — Thor on the shift that changed everything. 5 "I was in Central Africa and I was deep in over my head. I lost financial backing. My long-distance relationship was falling apart. I was recovering from cerebral malaria. My life was at risk several times. And I just lost the motivation to continue." — Thor on the moment it broke him, two years in. 6 "If there was a competition within hospitality globally, like the Olympics, we would be on the bench watching the other countries. We are kind and helpful and friendly — but we have no idea how friendly we could be." — Thor comparing Northern European and global hospitality. 7 "I made an excuse that I was going to the bathroom, but really what I wanted to do was go and pay for all of us. And on my way there, they already knew what I was up to and shouted to the cashier — don't let him pay, we will take care of it." — Thor on his host Dafala in Sudan. 8 "So I was hired to be the junior assistant to a reverend who wasn't there." — Thor on how he solved his Hong Kong immigration problem. 9 "I arrived with my hat and my backpack, and when I was at my highest I had two apartments, I had two cars, I had access to the port, I had my driver's licence, I had a dentist. I had a life in Hong Kong." — Thor on two years stranded. 10 "The real story here is that most of the world is such an ordinary place. It is just people getting by in life, making the best of the situations that they have. Going to work, going to school, spending time with family, falling in love, following their sports teams." — Thor on what a decade on the road actually revealed. ⠀ Chapters 00:21 Introduction — One

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo原文Chapter 7:Love and DeathMarius lies for a long time between life and death.But months later, he is well again.Cosette visits him every day, and this of course, helps him a lot.His grandfather is happy to have his grandson back and is happy to have a new granddaughter in Cosette.The two young people marry and live in the house of Marius's grandfather in the Le Marais.There is a surprise for the young people.Cosette has money, a lot of money.Valjean tells them she has 600000 francs.This pleases Marius's grandfather very much,But the young people are only interested in love, not in money.Where does it come from, this money?Years ago,when Valjean was Monsieur Madeleine with a factory, he was a rich man.Before he left Montroy, he took his money and the bishop's candlesticks to a secret place.When he needs money, he goes back there.Now this money is for Cosette, and the candlesticks stand in Valjean's house in the Rue de l'Homme-Armé.They look very fine, and Toussaint cleans them every day.A new life begins for everybody, but there are still secrets from the past., and Valjean wants to tell them he feels old and tired.Death is coming for him at last, he feels.He calls Cosette and Marius to his bedside.“Listen,dearest Cosette, to the story of your mother…” he says.Cosette hears the story of Fantine's sadlife.”She learns that Valjean is not her real father.But in her life, there is only one father, and that is Valjean, she tells him.“Come closer,my children,” he says, “I love you dearly and I die happy. Come closer, and take my hands.”Cosette and Marius are by his bed, holding his hands and crying.His great hands are still, and do not move again.He lies with his head turned up to the sky, and the light from the bishop's candlesticks falls upon his face.翻译第七章：爱与死亡马吕斯在生死边缘徘徊了许久。但在几个月后，他终于痊愈了。珂赛特每天都来看望他，这当然对他康复起到了极大的帮助。他的祖父很高兴孙子能平安归来，也很高兴能迎来珂赛特这个新孙女。两个年轻人结了婚，住在马吕斯祖父位于玛黑区的宅邸里。这对年轻人还迎来了一个惊喜。珂赛特有一笔钱，一笔巨款。冉阿让告诉他们，她有六十万法郎。这让马吕斯的祖父非常高兴，但这两个年轻人只在乎彼此的爱，对金钱毫不在意。这笔巨款是从哪里来的呢？多年前，当冉阿让还是拥有工厂的马德兰先生时，他非常富有。在离开蒙特勒伊之前，他把这笔钱和主教送的银烛台藏在了一个隐秘的地方。每当他需要钱时，就会回到那里去取。现在，这笔钱全留给了珂赛特，而那对银烛台则摆在冉阿让位于武人街的家中。它们看起来依然十分精美，老女仆杜桑每天都会将它们擦拭得一尘不染。每个人的生活都翻开了新的一页，但过去的秘密依然存在。冉阿让觉得是时候把一切告诉他们了。他感到自己老了，也累了。他感觉到，死亡终于要向他降临了。他把珂赛特和马吕斯叫到床前。“听着，我最亲爱的珂赛特，我要给你讲讲你母亲的故事……”他说。珂赛特听到了芳汀那悲惨的一生。她也得知，冉阿让并不是她的亲生父亲。但在她的生命中，她只有一个父亲，那就是冉阿让。她这样告诉他。“走近些，我的孩子们，”他说，“我深爱着你们，现在我可以毫无遗憾地离去了。走近些，握住我的手。”珂赛特和马吕斯站在他的床边，紧紧握着他的手，泪流满面。那双宽大的手渐渐安静下来，再也没有动弹。

Martin Guerre has a devoted following amongst musical theatre fans, originally penned by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, the two creators of that little-known musical Les Misérables (whatever happened to that one?). Now, they're returning to passion project Martin Guerre to give the musical a new lease of life at the Old Vic, staged in the round alongside rising star co-lyricist Annabel Mutale Reed. They join Alex Wood to discuss the project from their rehearsal room in south London. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Café - Enquête au cœur de la recherche sur l'intelligence artificielle Description Cette description a été faite à l'aide de GLM 5.3 Flash, à partir de la transcription qui a été effectuée par ElevenLabs Scribev2. Aucune vérification humaine n'a été faite. Si vous découvrez des erreurs ou des inexactitudes, vous pouvez m'en faire part afin que je procède aux modifications appropriées. Les événements à venir L'animateur prépare ses voyages en Europe et a refondu sa méthode de veille, d'où un certain retard et la parution prochaine de plusieurs épisodes en rafale. BSIDE arrive à grands pas avec un panel et des enregistrements prévus sur place. Suivront le BSyber, le BroCon, Alligator Con à Cracovie, Defcon à Montréal, la European Cyber Week, le Forum Minciber Canada à Ottawa puis le SecureP qui revient en 2027. Il recommande enfin l'AI Café, un podcast sur l'intelligence artificielle de l'Université Laval. L'intelligence artificielle toujours au cœur de l'actualité Meta traîne les pieds devant les photos de pornographie juvénile détectées dans ses publicités, et Grok permet d'en générer sans réel contrôle. L'animateur déplore le laxisme des plateformes face à ces contenus et le fait que le législateur s'attaque aux conversations privées plutôt qu'à ces négligences évidentes. Des agents d'Anthropic et d'OpenAI ont attaqué des systèmes et communiqué entre eux, révélant une méconnaissance des bacs à sable et de la faiblesse des garde-fous. Google, en comparaison, ne fait aucune annonce du genre, preuve d'une réelle maîtrise de ses environnements de test. Adam Shostack propose d'abandonner les captchas puisque les IA les franchissent tandis que les humains peinent, et une recherche montre qu'ils pourraient paradoxalement aider à détecter les deepfakes audio et vidéo. Côté défense, deux papiers portent sur l'IA dans les SOC. Le premier démontre un nettoyage complet de la chaîne d'intrusion, le second que l'analyste gagne confiance envers son agent à mesure qu'il se l'approprie. Microsoft déploie pour sa part plus d'une centaine d'agents pour chercher des vulnérabilités dans Azure Gov Cloud. Trois nouvelles touchent les tests d'intrusion, entre modèles qui aident les testeurs et détection des honeypots. Surtout, la sécurité par l'obscurité est déclarée morte, l'IA fouillant partout avec une efficacité qui brise ce paradigme. Anthropic construit aussi un système de prédiction et de surveillance façon Precog pour ses dirigeants. Des utilisateurs auraient contourné les garde-fous de Claude pour créer des armes biologiques, alors que des modèles ouverts quasi équivalents circulent librement. Google avertit que les cybercriminels ciblent désormais les modèles d'IA privés, notamment en pharmacie. Meta est poursuivi pour avoir alimenté la reconnaissance faciale de ses lunettes avec ses propres plateformes. Le Royaume-Uni refuse enfin d'imposer un interrupteur d'arrêt, sous l'influence probable de lobbys très puissants. Guerre et souveraineté numérique Des congressistes américains demandent de bannir des firmes de hacking étrangères, une reconnaissance croissante de ces cybermercenaires. La Suisse teste des alternatives open source à Microsoft sur 3 000 ordinateurs, l'armée ayant déjà franchi le pas. Ce mouvement de souveraineté européenne s'accélère sous l'effet des stratégies commerciales américaines. La France monte elle aussi en autonomie, mais on observe en parallèle une hausse des fuites de données, corrélation sans doute plus que causation. Les législateurs américains se plaignent enfin de lois secrètes britanniques forçant Apple à affaiblir son chiffrement, eux qui expriment désormais ouvertement leur souveraineté numérique. La vie privée sous pression Deux articles traitent de Flock, qui cajole les corps de police pour soutenir son modèle d'affaires, tandis que plusieurs États l'interdisent. L'animateur rappelle que, 25 ans après le 11 septembre, les mesures de surveillance n'ont jamais été retirées, et cite Les Misérables pour souligner que la faillibilité de la mémoire humaine permet de se refaire une vie. La nouvelle Apple Watch écoute quasi en permanence, et si le Secure Compute rassure côté architecture, l'idée d'enregistrements constants interpelle. Les télévisions LG écoutent même en veille. La faillite de l'avionneur Spirit fait craindre l'absorption de ses données par Google pour entraîner ses modèles d'IA. La police s'inquiète enfin des lunettes de Meta, qui pourraient enregistrer secrètement les interventions policières. Les lois qui évoluent Le Cyber Resilience Act impose la divulgation des vulnérabilités en 24 heures, ce qui force les compagnies à agir autrement. La Californie a signé des lois protégeant les enfants et l'Australie s'attaque aux algorithmes addictifs visant les mineures. Le patron d'Instagram admet que retirer l'algorithme réduit l'engagement de 50 pour cent, révélant l'objectif d'addiction de ces plateformes. L'animateur préfère d'ailleurs Mastodon, sans algorithme, et demande si chacun devrait pouvoir choisir le sien. La section rouge Night Eclipse continue de semer le trouble chez Microsoft en divulguant plusieurs zéros, dont des failles déjà corrigées de façon incomplète. Surfshark a été piraté, vraisemblablement par une malveillance humaine, sans fuite d'informations clients selon l'entreprise, d'où une vigilance de mise face à ces outils. Le DNS sert désormais à propager des arnaques, avec 8,5 millions de domaines toxiques en 2025, un chiffre probablement sous-estimé. Un article inspiré par GLM 5.3 Flash, modèle ouvert proche des modèles frontières, estime qu'il ne reste qu'un an avant de tout corriger. Microsoft a enfin publié un nombre impressionnant de correctifs, d'où l'importance de patcher sans tarder. La section bleue Apple signe désormais ses photos numériquement au plus près de la lentille, sans traitement ultérieur. Android déploie un transfert sécurisé des passkeys, un compromis assumé pour accélérer l'adoption et sortir du mot de passe. Un article propose de mesurer la qualité de la couverture de détection, dans l'esprit de la Cyber Defense Matrix. Gil Golan pose huit questions sur la rotation des mots de passe cachés, comme ceux des comptes de service, à planifier en amont. Les certificats SSL et TLS tournent désormais à 45 jours, une norme qui tend à baisser encore. Enfin, l'usage du TPM pour renforcer le handshake TLS lie la machine à l'échange et, avec une passkey, garantit aussi l'identité de la personne.

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo单词提示1.splash 落水声原文Chapter 6: The BarricadesIt is a long night at the barricade in the Rue de la Chanvrerie.The news is bad.More and more soldiers are arriving in the city, but the people stay in their homes.This time, they don't want to fight the government, only the students are still at the barricades waiting for the soldiers, bullets and death.Then a new man arrives at the barricade, a big man in dark clothes.Mario stares,it is Cosette's father, he is certain.Is he a friend or an enemy, who knows?Inside the tavern, Javert, too, waits for death.Rebels shoot spies, he knows that.Does he think about his life? Waiting there in the tavern? Is the law always right? Can a criminal change and be a good man?Does Javert ask these questions, who knows?Daylight comes and the shooting begins.“Rat ta tat, rat ta tat, rat ta tat…”, on the barricade, noise and shouting, cries and screams.Valjean saves Jean Enjolras's life.Two men die,Valjean carries the bodies into the tavern, sees Javert and Javert sees him.Then the shooting stops.The Rebelsneed more bullets, and Gavroche runs out to the front of the barricade.“Come back, Gavroche!”, he doesn't listen and start singing.There are dead soldiers lying in the street, Gavroche takes the bullets from their bags and puts them into his bag.He is small and quick, and his bag is nearly full before the soldiers start shooting at him.“Come back, Gavroche!”, he sings louder, but the fifth bullet hits him and he falls down in the street.He moves once, then falls back.Gavroche is dead.A child of the Paris streets, his singing now stopped forever,just another dead body in the rebellion.Smoke from the guns is everywhere, it is hard to see anything, but Marius runs out into the street, picks Gavroche up and runs back.He puts the small body on a table in the tavern and cries.It is going to be a long day.Behind the barricade, Enjolras talked to the men.“They're going to attack again soon, 60 soldiers to every one of us. Mariusand I are your two leaders, Gavroche brought us bullets, so let's use them well and fight to the end.” “Let's kill the spy now.” said one of the men.Then Valjean spoke, “give him to me. I can do that for you. I'd like to shoot him.”Enjolras looked at him, “You saved my life, friend. You can have the spy.”Valjean took Javert out of the tavern to a little street behind.He took out a knife.“Oh, a knife,” said Javert, “of course, a criminal's way to kill,so kill me and be quick.”Valjean said nothing.He cut the ropes around Javert's arms and legs, then stood up and said “You're free to go.”Javert stared,he could not understand this.“I live in the Rue de l'Homme-Armé. The next time we meet, you can arrest me. Now, go.”Javert turned and walked away.Valjean fired his gun into the air, then went back to the barricade.“It's done.”he told Enjolras.Now the second attack began.The government had more men, more guns, more bullets, and one by one the students began to die.Marius was on top of the barricade.He was one of the last men still alive, but then 1, 2 bullets hit him, and he fell.Two great hands at once, picked him up.Cosette whispered Marius, and then he went into that dark night.Jean Valjean knew Paris well, knew its little back streets, its secret places.He used them now with the dead or dying Marius in his arms.He ran through the back street, watching at every corner.Night came, and the sky was full of the smoke from the guns.Valjean stopped to rest, in Marius's pocket, he found a piece of paper, “Take my body to my grandfather's house.”The address was in the Le Marais, not far away.Valjean began to pick up Marius's body again, and a hand came down hard on his shoulder.Valjean turned, Javert stood behind him.“What are you doing here,” he said, “who is this man?”Valjean stood up.“Inspector Javert,” he said, “I told you I'm tired of running and hiding. You can arrest me, put me back in prison. I ask just one thing, help me to take this young man home, that is all.”“He's dead,”said Javert.“No, not yet,he lives in the Le Marais with his grandfather. Look…”He showed Javertthe piece of paper.Javert read the address, then called to a carriage along the street.They put Marius's body on the back seat and sat side by side on the front seat.At the house of Marius's grandfather, a servant opened the door.She gave a little scream when she saw Marius in Valjean's arms.“It's Monsieur Marius, take the boy in,” said Javert, “I'm waiting for you here at the door.”His voice was different.Uncertain,Valjean looked at him, then carried Marius's body into the house.“Call a doctor quickly!” he said to the servants, “He was out the barricade and has two bullets still in him.”Then he came back downstairs and out into the street.Javert was gone.Valjean looked up and down the street, nothing, nobody.Down by the River Seine, near the Place du Chatelet, Javert stoodon the bridge, looking down into the water.“What must I do?” he thought, but for the first time in his life he had no answer.Valjean's words at the barricade went through his head again and again,“You're free to go, free to go, free to go.”“I can do one of two things,”Javert said to the river, “I can arrest him or I cannot arrest him and say you are free to go. But the law is the law, so I must arrest him. But he gave me my life, so I must give him his life. But the law is the law.”And a voice in Javert's head said, “You worked for the law all your life, but Jean Valjean is a better man than you are.”For a long time, Javert stared down at the river, but the river gave him no answer to his question.Then he took off his hat and put it carefully on the ground.A moment later, he stood high on the bridge, then fell down into the dark river.There was a splash,and that was all.翻译第六章：街垒在尚夫雷里街的街垒，这是一个漫长的夜晚。局势很不妙。越来越多的士兵正在涌入这座城市，但普通百姓都躲在家里不敢出来。这一次，他们不想再反抗政府了。只有那些学生们依然坚守在街垒，等待着士兵、子弹和死亡。这时，街垒上来了一个陌生人，一个穿着深色衣服的高大男人。马吕斯死死盯着他，他确信那是珂赛特的父亲。他究竟是敌是友，谁又知道呢？在酒馆里，沙威也在等待着死亡。他知道，起义者们是会枪毙密探的。在酒馆里苦等的时候，他有没有思考过自己的人生？法律永远都是绝对正确的吗？一个罪犯真的能改邪归正，成为一个好人吗？沙威会问自己这些问题吗？谁又知道呢？天亮了，枪声随之响起。“哒哒哒，哒哒哒，哒哒哒……”街垒上充斥着巨大的噪音、呼喊声和惨叫声。冉阿让救了安灼拉的命。两名起义者牺牲了，冉阿让把他们的遗体抬进酒馆，他看见了沙威，沙威也看见了他。随后，枪声短暂地停歇了。起义者们需要更多的子弹，加夫罗什冲到了街垒的最前面。“回来，加夫罗什！”但他根本不听，反而唱起了歌。街上有几具士兵的尸体，加夫罗什从他们的弹药袋里掏出子弹，装进自己的口袋里。他身形娇小，动作敏捷，在士兵们开始向他开枪之前，他的口袋几乎已经装满了。“回来，加夫罗什！”他唱得更大声了，但第五颗子弹击中了他，他倒在了街上。他挣扎着动了一下，然后重重地倒了下去。加夫罗什死了。这个在巴黎街头长大的野孩子，他的歌声永远地停息了，他成了这场反叛中又一具冰冷的尸体。到处弥漫着枪炮的硝烟，什么都看不清。但马吕斯还是冲到了街上，抱起加夫罗什，又跑了回来。他把那小小的身躯放在酒馆的桌子上，痛哭失声。这将是漫长的一天。在街垒后方，安灼拉对众人说道：“他们很快又会发起进攻。敌军人数是我们的六十倍。马吕斯和我是你们的领袖，加夫罗什为我们弄来了子弹，让我们好好利用它们，战斗到最后一刻。”“现在就把那个密探毙了吧！”其中一个人喊道。这时，冉阿让开口了：“把他交给我吧。我来替你们解决，我想亲自枪毙他。”安灼拉看着他：“朋友，你救过我的命。你可以处置这个密探。”冉阿让把沙威从酒馆里带出来，走到后面的一条小巷。他掏出了一把刀。“哦，用刀啊，”沙威说，“当然，这是罪犯杀人的方式。那就杀了我吧，快点。”冉阿让一言不发。他割断了绑在沙威手脚上的绳子，然后站起身说：“你自由了，走吧。”沙威死死盯着他，完全无法理解这一切。“我住在武人街7号。下次我们再相遇，你可以逮捕我。现在，走吧。”沙威转过身，走了。冉阿让朝空中开了一枪，然后回到了街垒。“解决了。”他对安灼拉说。现在，第二次进攻开始了。政府军拥有更多的人、更多的枪和更多的子弹，学生们开始一个接一个地倒下。马吕斯站在街垒的最顶端。他是最后几个还活着的战士之一，但紧接着，一两颗子弹击中了他，他摔了下去。一双宽大的手瞬间将他接住。“珂赛特……”马吕斯喃喃低语，随后便陷入了无尽的黑暗。冉阿让对巴黎了如指掌，熟悉每一条幽暗的后巷和隐秘的角落。此刻，他正抱着垂死的马吕斯，在这些小巷中穿梭。他背着马吕斯在暗巷中狂奔，在每个拐角处都警惕地观察着。夜幕降临，天空中弥漫着火药的浓烟。冉阿让停下来稍作休息，他在马吕斯的口袋里摸到了一张纸条：“把我的遗体送到我祖父家。”地址在玛黑区，离这里不远。冉阿让重新背起马吕斯，突然，一只大手重重地拍在了他的肩膀上。冉阿让猛地回过头，沙威就站在他身后。“你在这里干什么？”沙威问，“这个人是谁？”冉阿让站起身。“沙威警长，”他说，“我告诉过你，我已经厌倦了东躲西藏。你可以逮捕我，把我重新关进监狱。但我只有一个请求：帮我把这个年轻人送回家，仅此而已。”“他已经死了。”沙威说。“不，还没死。他和祖父住在玛黑区。你看……”他把那张纸条拿给沙威看。沙威看了看地址，然后向街上叫来了一辆马车。他们把马吕斯放在马车后座上，两人并肩坐在前排。在马吕斯祖父的家门前，一个女仆打开了门。当她看到马吕斯躺在冉阿让的怀里时，忍不住发出一声尖叫。“是马吕斯少爷，快把少爷抬进去，”沙威说，“我就在门口等你。”他的声音听起来有些异样。冉阿让疑惑地看了他一眼，然后抱着马吕斯走进了屋子。“快叫医生！”他对仆人们说，“他刚从街垒上下来，体内还留着两颗子弹。”随后，他走下楼，回到了街上。沙威已经不见了。冉阿让环顾街道的两头，什么也没有，什么人也没有。在塞纳河畔、沙特雷广场附近，沙威正站在桥上，低头凝视着脚下的河水。“我该怎么办？”他想，但这是他一生中第一次找不到答案。冉阿让在街垒上说的话在他脑海中一遍又一遍地回荡：“你自由了，走吧，自由了，走吧。”“我只能做两件事中的一件，”沙威对着河水喃喃自语，“要么逮捕他，要么不逮捕他，告诉他‘你自由了'。但法律就是法律，所以我必须逮捕他。但他给了我一条命，所以我必须还他一条命。可是，法律就是法律啊。”沙威的脑海中有一个声音在说：“你一生都在为法律效劳，但冉阿让比你更是一个高尚的人。”沙威久久地凝视着脚下的河水，但河水并没有给他任何答案。然后，他摘下帽子，小心翼翼地放在地上。片刻之后，他站在高高的桥栏上，纵身跃入了黑暗的河水中。只听“扑通”一声水响，一切便归于死寂。

How many times do we really have to forgive someone? This week, Peter Walsh and Rob Schwartz explore Matthew 18:21–35, where the apostle Peter tries to put a number on forgiveness and Jesus responds by blowing up the whole accounting system. But the conversation quickly gets harder: Is forgiveness the same thing as reconciliation? What happens when someone continues to hurt us? And what are we supposed to do with a parable about mercy that ends with torture?Questions for ReflectionThemes & ApplicationPeter distinguishes forgiveness from reconciliation: reconciliation involves restoring a relationship, while forgiveness can still be possible when reconciliation is unsafe or impossible. How does this distinction change the way we hear Jesus' command to forgive? How can we forgive while still naming harm and maintaining necessary boundaries? Peter and Rob wrestle with the parable's disturbing conclusion, where the unforgiving servant is handed over to be tortured. Is the king meant to be a straightforward representation of God? How should we interpret violent images of judgment in Matthew alongside Jesus' larger message of mercy, love, and liberation? Thomas G. Long describes some of Matthew's stories as “nightmare parables,” comparing their frightening imagery to A Christmas Carol. Scrooge sees the terrifying destination of his present way of living precisely so that he can wake up and choose another path. Could Jesus' frightening parable be intended to awaken us rather than simply threaten us? When can uncomfortable or frightening stories reveal something that gentler language cannot? Personal ReflectionRob tells the story of accidentally breaking a statue belonging to a friend's mother and expecting punishment, only to hear her say, “I forgive you.” When have you received grace or forgiveness that you did not think you deserved? Did that experience change the way you treated someone else later? The episode repeatedly returns to the image of keeping a ledger of what other people owe us. Whose name are you most tempted to keep in your own mental ledger? What would you fear losing if you stopped keeping track?Peter expands the conversation from forgiving others to forgiving ourselves. Are there mistakes, failures, or regrets for which you find it easier to believe God forgives you than to forgive yourself? What might it mean to receive grace deeply enough to stop continually punishing ourselves? Broader Spiritual ConsiderationsThe contrast between Lamech's seventy-sevenfold vengeance and Jesus' seventy-sevenfold forgiveness presents two radically different ways of organizing human relationships. What would families, churches, communities, or nations look like if forgiveness rather than retaliation were the thing that multiplied?The unforgiving servant receives freedom but then recreates the same system of debt and punishment for someone else. Why do people who have experienced oppression, hurt, or judgment sometimes reproduce those same patterns when they gain power? What allows grace to genuinely transform us rather than simply benefit us?Peter ends by describing forgiveness as being released from the “gunk of our psyche” that weighs us down, while also noting that the struggle to forgive is not uniquely Christian but deeply human. What might Christianity contribute to the broader human struggle with resentment, vengeance, guilt, and forgiveness?References & ResourcesVocabularySeventy-Seven / Seventy Times Seven — The translation  varies, but the exaggerated number communicates forgiveness beyond calculation. Lamech — A descendant of Cain who boasts in Genesis 4:23–24 that if Cain is avenged sevenfold, Lamech will be avenged seventy-sevenfold. Nightmare Parable — Thomas G. Long's term for frightening parabolic imagery that exposes the destructive destination of a way of life and shocks the listener toward another possibility.ScriptureGenesis 4:23–24 — Lamech's boast of seventy-sevenfold vengeance, discussed as a possible biblical backdrop and reversal for Jesus' teaching on forgiveness.Books & LiteratureThomas G. Long, Proclaiming the Parables — Peter's primary resource for interpreting Matthew's harsh judgment imagery. (Read the Book)Victor Hugo, Les Misérables — Rob draws on Jean Valjean, Bishop Myriel, and Javert to explore grace, justice, transformation, and the danger of living by a moral ledger. (Read the Book) (Watch the Movie Trailer)Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol — Used to illustrate the “nightmare parable”: Scrooge is confronted with the frightening destination of his present life so that he can awaken and choose differently.

Teddy Nappen 00:20 and I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:21 and welcome to Gun Lawyer. Teddy, welcome back, you new father, you. And I’m the new grandfather. Teddy Nappen 00:29 Yes, I know, and don’t worry, all is good. Just sleep is for the weak. Evan Nappen 00:34 Ah, right, exactly, exactly. Oh my! And how is beautiful, Aliyana, doing? That cute little peanut that she is. Teddy Nappen 00:45 Aliyana is doing quite well. She is. Evan Nappen 00:47 And your lovely wife? How is she? Teddy Nappen 00:50 She’s doing also well. It’s definitely one of those moments when you see your wife holding your newborn child. Definitely that kind of spark. Oh yeah, very special, Evan Nappen 01:01 Oh yeah, very special, special. Teddy Nappen 01:02 Yeah, but they’re both doing quite well, and I’m eternally blessed for that. Page – 2 – of 15 Evan Nappen 01:08 That’s right. And we got the baby to the range. She did great on her first shooting experience there. Teddy Nappen 01:15 I know we took out. Evan Nappen 01:17 She got her CCARE. She’s good. She took out a Charter Arms .22. The trick was the range officer allowed us to just put up balloons to make it easier. It worked. Evan Nappen 01:19 She took out a Charter Arms .22. The trick was the range officer allowed us to just put up balloons to make it easier, and it worked. Evan Nappen 01:28 It was good. It was good. We start them young in the Nappen family. You know, you have to give one day of birth, and then you’re at the range. Teddy Nappen 01:40 There’s two things. Evan Nappen 01:41 Training begins. Teddy Nappen 01:42 The two things Aliyana will grow up with having. Number one, I want to teach her to be a critical thinker, and number two, all I can show her for self-defense. Everything I can for her to be a critical thinker. Evan Nappen 01:56 That’s right. And you do that for all kids. It’s a way of not being a victim, not being a victim. Critical thinking and knowing how to defend yourself – two very important things. Well, I’ve got to tell you, the Ninth Circuit in California had a very interesting decision. The reason I want to discuss it is, I believe this decision may give us hints as to what may be coming in New Jersey and other places. As we see the power of the newly, relatively speaking, empowered Second Amendment crushing gun laws that are literally over a century old, the anti-Second Amendment crowd, the Second Amendment oppressors, are, of course, looking for avenues to oppress our rights, and they have to work within this new framework. This decision out of the Ninth Circuit, I find of great concern because of its potential to possibly be utilized as a mechanism and tactic for the anti-Second Amendment Left. And what happened in the Ninth Circuit is an Appellate Decision, after the trial court in the Ninth, and what it did was leave in place California’s 24/7 gun store surveillance law. Page – 3 – of 15 Evan Nappen 03:31 Now you may say, okay, well that’s just gun stores. Yes, but it’s very easy to expand this, and I’m going to show you why this should be of great concern. So, let’s take a look at what happened in the Ninth Circuit with California law, and then I’m going to discuss where I think the gun rights oppressors may see an opening for shenanigans. We’ve got to be prepared and recognize that this could be a potential area of penetration where they will probably strike and try to oppress us. So, California, requires licensed dealers to video record and audio record. By the way, interior video and audio, and retain all the recordings for at least one year. Now I’m getting this, by the way, from a great article in AmmoLand by one of our favorite authors, John Crump, and it’s called “Ninth Circuit Leaves California’s 24/7 Gun Store Surveillance Law in place”. (https://www.ammoland.com/2026/08/ninth-circuit-leaves-californias-24-7-gun-store-surveillance-law-in-place/?utm_source=Ammoland+Subscribers&utm_campaign=fb0c8bc3fc-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_6f6fac3eaa-fb0c8bc3fc-21268623) Evan Nappen 05:02 The article discusses how a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld California’s controversial gun store monitoring law by a two-to-one margin. Now, the case is Richards v. Newsom. No shock that the defendant is Governor Newsom. And what happened in this case was brick and mortar FFLs, two home-based FFLs, gun rights groups, including GOA, GOC, CRPA, and SAF, and individual patrons of the shop, were all plaintiffs in this action. They challenged California’s law, which was enacted in 2024, that requires every California FFL to operate a 24/7 digital video system that also records audio inside the premises. Cameras must cover entries and exits, display areas, points of sale, and clearly identify people, and run at least 15 frames per second. They have to store footage for one year. In addition, dealers must post a conspicuous warning that says, in all bold, THESE PREMISES ARE UNDER VIDEO AND AUDIO SURVEILLANCE. YOUR IMAGE AND CONVERSATIONS MAY BE RECORDED.” Evan Nappen 06:49 At the District Court level, the level below the Appellate level, the law was found constitutional, and the plaintiffs then appealed to the Appeal Court in the ninth, which came out with this decision. It was a three-judge panel, and it was Judge (Lucy H.) Koh, Judge (Ana) de Alba, which were both appointed by Biden, and a Trump appointee, Judge Kenneth Lee. In this case, one of the claims they made was that this violates the Fourth Amendment. That’s the constitutional protection against illegal search and seizure, and the panel rejected the claim, saying that the dealers’ recordings are not themselves a Government search. There is no physical intrusion by the State, citing another case of Jones, and no government acquisition of data, citing two other cases of Carpenter and Chatrie. Dealers are not transformed into state actors by merely being required to keep cameras. Wow, let that sink in. And, of course, the two Biden judges rejected Judge Lee’s inspection theory on three grounds. And that is that the law doesn’t authorize inspections, though there are other penal code provisions that do, and that even if it did, the statute is facially valid under New York versus Burger because it limits who may inspect and what may be inspected. Page – 4 – of 15 Evan Nappen 08:45 The plaintiffs also claim that the law violated the Fifth Amendment takings clause. The Court said no good to that one as well. The majority, again, the two Biden appointees, said it’s not a physical taking. Dealers own and install the equipment, and the Government doesn’t occupy the premises. hey claimed it’s not a regulatory taking. That dealers in this heavily-regulated industry have reduced investment-backed expectations, and the alleged compliance costs, by the way, of $17,000, without a before and after value comparison, do not suffice. And the character of the action is a “public-safety regulation, not a physical invasion”. he Court also rejected the First Amendment claims, where the judge held that overbreadth fails because the statute doesn’t punish or regulate speech. The anonymity claim failed because one, no one must identify themselves, even though cameras must be positioned to identify customers easily. And the Association claim fails because membership is not compulsory, and it shot it all down. hen the majority also declined to adopt the dissent, you know, the good guys’ dissent of the right to receive and exchange information. They rejected that theory, claiming the plaintiffs didn’t raise it, and cited other cases that involved actual prohibitions. So, this is incredible. The one dissenting Judge Lee would have also held that inspection scheme violates the Fourth Amendment as applied to FFLs. There’s no time or place limits. So, agents could theoretically enter home at any hour to check the system, and they left the audio and visual surveillance requirement in place. Evan Nappen 11:08 Now this is California, granted, and this is, of course, on dealers. However, what are the requirements, constitutionally speaking, when it comes to firearm storage, and we’ll argue regulation? You see, we have heard rumors and things have been printed that one of the things that New Jersey is going to pass, particularly in response to the finding of unconstitutionality of both the assault firearm ban and the magazine ban is something having to do with storage. Well, I’m thinking that it probably isn’t simply going to be focused on storage, but may in fact try to utilize a visual and audio surveillance requirement as well, and place that upon anybody that possesses so-called assault firearms magazines, maybe even all guns. Who knows how far they’ll take it? Evan Nappen 12:20 If we take a step back and we look at the Heller decision, in (District of Columbia v.) Heller, the Supreme Court ruled, of course, that requiring lawfully-owned firearms in a home to be kept unloaded and disassembled, or bound by a trigger lock is a violation of the Second Amendment. The Heller Court found that this storage requirement was unconstitutional because it rendered firearms inoperable and prevented individuals from using them for immediate self-defense in the home. Scalia, when he wrote the majority opinion, said the Second Amendment protects the right to keep a working firearm ready for core lawful purpose of self-defense. Now, of course, if it’s surveillance, surveillance does not stop you from keeping the gun ready for lawful purpose of self-defense. t’s simply a surveillance and “security requirement”. Evan Nappen 13:36 Further, the court in Heller noted that the ruling did not cast out on certain other traditional regulations, stating that laws regulating the storage of firearms to prevent accidents under specific or different regulatory contexts were not necessarily invalidated by Heller. Scalia, when he wrote the Heller decisions, suggested that the Court’s analysis did not “suggest the invalidity of laws regulating storage Page – 5 – of 15 of firearms to prevent accidents”. When he talked about that distinguishing feature. He was drawing a sharp legal line. The Court did not say that all storage laws are unconstitutional. Instead, it distinguished between complete baseline disabling of a gun versus conditional safety rules. And you know how the Second Amendment oppressors always try to exploit to the max anything they’re given in any way, and this is an opening that I expect they’re going to attempt to. Evan Nappen 15:01 Let’s take a further look and elaborate. So, for example, the absence of a self-defense exception. ow, the fundamental flaw in the District of Columbia storage law was that it was an absolute 24/7 mandate. Well, in terms of the DC code, a firearm had to be unloaded and bound by a trigger lock, even if an intruder was actively breaking into the home. Now, Heller struck that absolute mandate down, but what Heller preserved was storage regulations that maintain a flexibility enough to allow a person to access and use their weapon dynamically when facing an immediate threat. So, it might still be able to require lock boxes that can instantly be opened. Let’s say with a fingerprint or something like that. This may be a direction they’ll go. Evan Nappen 16:11 There’s a distinguishing between immediate control and unattended storage. The lower courts heavily relied upon in the Heller quote to uphold secure storage and child access prevention, and New Jersey in fact has a law that says you can’t allow a minor to access a loaded firearm. But the crucial legal distinction is whether the gun is currently in use or whether it’s sitting unattended. One of the distinctions is the on-person distinction. In challenges that followed Heller, courts ruled that laws requiring guns to be locked up only when not under direct personal control of the owner are constitutional. So, they’re going to be exploiting that. f you’re awake and carrying a firearm or have it on your nightstand while home, that’s within your immediate control. But if you leave the house, if you well, if you leave the house and you go to sleep, and the children are present. The state has a valid interest in regulating the unattended storage to prevent an accidental discharge or theft. Teddy Nappen 17:30 So, my question would be, when it comes to, if they were trying to regulate, let’s say they force everyone to have, okay, you need to have X amount of storage. You need to have a safe in requiring of that. Could there be you’re putting the undue burden of saying, well, now you’re adding essentially a poll tax to a right? Evan Nappen 17:50 That may be one of the arguments about that. I’m not sure how that’ll play out. It’s interesting. Well, and the third thing to keep in mind in Scalia’s reference to “different regulatory contexts”, it means that certain storage laws can be tailored to high-risk environments and specific populations, and they’re historically and legally permissible. So, for example, commercial and public contexts, the Government can mandate strict storage requirements for commercial gun dealers, and California has completely exploited that. You know, usually to prevent like smash and grab robberies or public housing, military barracks, government workplaces, stuff like that. Then there’s preventing vulnerable access. And that’s laws specifically punishing gun owners if a child or legally prohibited person, like a convicted felon, can Page – 6 – of 15 gain access to an unsecured firearm and causes harm are widely considered valid under Heller. So, these do not ban self-defense. They penalize essentially negligence. Evan Nappen 19:04 This is the playing field that we’re going to see the antis try to exploit. And now you can combine that with possibly requiring 24/7 surveillance to the degree that it could be applied to an individual, even in their home. Because remember you had home-based dealers as well that were part of this that were trying to raise these claims. Now, granted, this is the Ninth Circuit’s view of it. New Jersey, frankly, has often taken a strong view when it comes to Fourth Amendment protections. But who knows whether their desire to have Second Amendment oppression will overcome their desire to have Fourth Amendment protection? We’ve got to be aware of this. Teddy Nappen 19:56 I would take it a step further, Dad. Now say, you need to have an AI program required for your camera, and now that AI can calculate and determine firearms, where they’re going, who has them, how many you have, and no longer need it. We’re always worried about Universal Background Check as the way of the national registration. Imagine an AI in every home, and it determines each firearm. There’s your national registration, and now they have their list to come collect them. Evan Nappen 20:26 And then it could be viewed at any time. You could see these things happen. I mean, it’s just outrageous the implications. This is very scary stuff when you combine the potential of a surveillance requirement and mandating alarm systems in a home. Cameras, audio, lighting-all these different things. To what degree can the Government extend its power in the name of public safety? Given what is apparently allowed and disallowed by way of Heller and subsequent courts’ rulings and determinations over those things. So, I see this as a new battlefield, a new front that we’re most likely going to have to be very much vigilant about and wary. I also can see this type of California law, at a minimum, applying to New Jersey dealers. At a minimum imposing and trying to create because New Jersey often follows California for their extreme gun rights oppression, and California often follows New Jersey for what they do. They work often hand in hand, and its extension to citizens is something we need to be very concerned about. Hey, Teddy. What do you have of interest in Press Checks? You had mentioned something that I thought was kind of fascinating, and it reminded me of the French Revolution. What is that you need to tell us about this? Teddy Nappen 22:24 As you know, Press Checks are always free, and this comes from the Capitol Police as they had to arrest. Evan Nappen 22:26 The Capitol in Washington D.C. Page – 7 – of 15 Teddy Nappen 22:34 Yeah. United States Capitol Police seized a guillotine, shot a man, and arrested him for carrying a dangerous weapon, for being in possession of a guillotine. (https://www.uscp.gov/media-center/press-releases/uscp-arrests-driver-guillotine-truckbed) Evan Nappen 22:48 Oh, a guillotine. How did he possess it? Teddy Nappen 22:51 In the back of his pickup truck. Evan Nappen 22:53 So, he’s driving around with the guillotine on the back of his pickup truck. Was he going to use it in a theatrical play or movie, or was he going to use it to make political speech, or did he actually want to start chopping heads? Teddy Nappen 23:09 There was no clarification, but he was just pulled over. There was this giant guillotine on the back of the truck. Evan Nappen 23:16 Could have been a Halloween display in advance. I mean, I don’t know. Well, you know, it’s an interesting kind of weird to say a guillotine is a weapon unless it’s being utilized as a weapon. I mean, what do, you know? What are you gonna say to somebody? You know, give me your wallet, or I’m gonna cut off your head. I mean, what? I don’t really see how. It’s not like it fires a projectile. It’s not like it’s easily carried in one’s pocket. How is it gonna qualify as a weapon unless it is somehow intentionally used as a weapon? Teddy Nappen 23:55 Here’s the problem, though, for the law. From what I was able to pull on DC. They have to prove that he’s able to carry the guillotine in order to charge him with that. Evan Nappen 24:09 Well, I guess it’s a vehicle-mounted weapon. I don’t know. But it’s not a weapon. It’s not firing anything. It’s not projecting anything. It’s harmless unless you actually get somebody to stick their head in it. Other than that, you know, it’s as much a weapon as somebody’s shoe is a weapon. You could take off your shoe and start beating somebody in the head. Now your shoe is a weapon, right? Otherwise, shoes just aren’t weapons. I don’t necessarily see how. If I was handling that case, I would immediately bring a motion that this doesn’t qualify as a weapon. Now, I don’t practice in D.C. So, I don’t know how broad their description of weapons are. But if we were to look at New Jersey, the best they could claim is that it falls under the “other weapons” section of N.J.S. 2C:39-5d. But even with that, the definition of weapon under New Jersey, I don’t even think it’s fitting it unless there’s some allegation that fits it under NJ’s definition of weapon and meets all the elements of it. Page – 8 – of 15 Teddy Nappen 25:33 I want to go a step further and just have someone drive a truck with like an electric chair on the back. Then have another one where he’s driving with the car, and it has the torture device that was used to stretch people. I’m just curious to like what does the extent of where do they can where do the line drawn is it just because it has a blade? Evan Nappen 26:03 Well, here’s where it gets odd, and it’s an interesting thing. Because New Jersey’s definition of weapon, which you’ll find under N.J.S. 2C:39-1r. says that a weapon means anything readily capable of lethal use or inflicting serious bodily injury. However, there are so many things out there. I mean, a kitchen knife, a chainsaw, a hammer, a golf club. I mean, it never ends because anything is readily capable of it. But you still have to fit into New Jersey’s other weapons. Because even before we go there, the term “weapon” under New Jersey law includes, but is not limited to firearms, even though not loaded or lacking a clip. They say a clip. Can you imagine this? I mean, magazine, but okay, or other component to render them immediately operable. Components which can be readily assembled into a weapon. I always hate a definition that tries to define it by using the term itself. That’s frickin’ useless. And then Teddy Nappen 27:30 Definition. Evan Nappen 27:30 And then, gravity knives, switchblade knives, daggers, dirks, stilettos, or other dangerous knives, billies, blackjacks, bludgeons, metal knuckles, sandclubs, slingshots, cesti, or similar leather bands studded with metal filings or razor blades embedded in wood. Well, that sure gives you a lot of great ideas. At least I give it credit there. But anyway, and stun guns or any weapon or other device which projects, releases, or emits tear gas or other substance intended to produce temporary physical comfort, discomfort, or permanent injury through being vaporized or otherwise dispensed into the air. But if you notice, all these things that they’re putting in this category of weapons require a person to use them in a way that an individual would be targeted for being struck or hit or cut. Evan Nappen 28:37 Whereas, a guillotine would require the person themselves putting their head into the guillotine, or being forced to put their head in a guillotine, and that seems like a bit of a challenge to still fit it under the definition of weapon. But even if it did fit under, just for argument’s sake, of being arguably a weapon because it’s capable of that lethal use, you’d have to say. But the definition of weapon isn’t the prohibition in New Jersey law. The prohibition for weapon you’ll find in the weapons prohibition statute, which is the 2C:39-5d. “Other weapons”. And 2C:39-5d. says other weapons. Any person who knowingly has in his possession any other weapon under circumstances not manifestly appropriate for such lawful uses as it may have is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree. It’s felony level offense, and it carries a year and a half max in State Prison. Evan Nappen 30:02 So, what would be circumstances not manifestly appropriate for such lawful uses as it may have? f you’re riding around with the guillotine, let’s say, for political speech purposes, which could be legit, or Page – 9 – of 15 you’re transporting it for making a movie, let’s say, or using it in a play or in a magic show. Okay, because there are magician guillotines. I personally have one called the Arm Chopper, where you do a whole routine where you get a volunteer, and you chop carrots with it. Then you put their arm in it, and it’s a whole fun thing. Of course, it doesn’t chop the person’s arm; it magically does not, and everything’s fine. en there’s another one. A guillotine version, magician, where when you chop it, it’s rigged so that the arm looks like it’s falling into the bag below, but of course it isn’t. Yet you can still lock it in place to cut carrots and demonstrate its effectiveness before you do the trick, you know. But there’s a legitimate, lawful purpose – a magician’s prop. Maybe you are into it for decorative purposes, for craftsmanship purposes. I mean. Teddy Nappen 30:03 You’re trying out a new thing. Teddy Nappen 30:03 You’re trying out a new Gallagher routine with watermelons. Evan Nappen 30:03 I don’t know, but this is intriguing to say the least. I’ve done a lot in almost 40 years of practicing this area of law, but I will have to say that I’ve yet to have anybody charged with possession of a guillotine as a weapon. But I’m ready to defend it; should it be necessary. But there you go. That’s a crazy, interesting story, Teddy. Thanks. Evan Nappen 30:03 Hey, I want to talk about our good friends at WeShoot.

And let me also mention that Teddy has other Press Checks. I’m sure. What else do you have? Teddy Nappen 36:34 This is the famous double Press Checks. I could not pass this one up. When I saw this article, I was shocked, and then reminded that the vast majority of the Left can’t be funny. If you go back to maybe the ’90s, and you’d have. Teddy Nappen 36:54 You laugh at them all the time, though, Teddy. Teddy Nappen 36:56 Yeah, we laugh at them. They try to be funny, and they try to joke on us. But they just come off as boring because comedy was always about pushing the envelope. The all-time favorite movies of comedy, like Blazing Saddles, or even like George Carlin’s bit, “Seven Things You Can’t Say on Television”. George Carlin. Evan Nappen 37:17 George Carlin. I saw him live twice. Yeah. Teddy Nappen 37:20 And you have, you know, Nick DePaolo, Norm Macdonald, people who would their whole idea was to push the envelope. Funniest man alive, Richard Pryor. These are all the ideas, and then comes to the Marxist Left. This is, you know, we’ve got to give it to The Trace, who decided to give them free Page – 11 – of 15 advertising. They decided to make a musical pushing to repeal the Second Amendment. (https://www.thetrace.org/2026/08/good-guy-with-a-gun-musical-interview/) Evan Nappen 37:48 Oh my God! A gun oppression musical. Teddy Nappen 37:53 A musical called “Good Guy with a Gun”. That is their comparison. Evan Nappen 37:57 That’s about as wokey as you can get. A musical doing this. Teddy Nappen 38:02 It’s gay. It’s really gay. Evan Nappen 38:05 Oh my G-d! Teddy Nappen 38:07 And going through this. By the way, you can go on Spotify. You go wherever they have the song list. You can listen to it if you want to. Evan Nappen 38:16 Oh, that’s it. I want to listen to anti-Second Amendment songs. Teddy Nappen 38:20 Yeah. Songs, yes. Evan Nappen 38:23 What are they trying to do this like the other play? What was it that going after or mocking Mormons? Teddy Nappen 38:30 Yeah, the Book of Mormon. It was. Evan Nappen 38:31 There you go. Right. This is the Left’s one of their tools of pushing their agenda is doing. Yeah, I know, real, Teddy Nappen 38:40 Real, real stunning and brave to mock Mormons and going after the Second Amendment. Now, do one on Sharia law and see how that goes. Evan Nappen 38:51 Oh yeah, right. Yeah, that’ll go over big. Sure. Yeah, that’ll be the yeah. Page – 12 – of 15 Teddy Nappen 38:57 Or what is the Chinese play where it’s China before communism, where Chinese have actually sent agents to attack their bus, and do stuff like that. But here. Evan Nappen 39:10 That’s really edgy. Teddy Nappen 39:12 Yeah, no kidding. Evan Nappen 39:13 You know, not this stuff. That’s just you know agenda driven with just another potential way of somehow getting their effed up message implanted. Teddy Nappen 39:27 Yeah. So, they got a bunch of F tier celebrities who wanted to show their virtue signal. They took a pay cut, so they would do this play out of Los Angeles, of course. It is a theatrical concept, billing it as the Book of Mormon for the NRA. The action satire swells on the day the Second Amendment is wiped away, and the numbers reminiscent to Les Misérables begins with the right winger singing, “The day that we’ve always feared the liberals have come to take our guns away. Then comes a brief monolog from a Cockney woman spiles into mania. They came in the night. They took the little ones, the Glocks, the small handguns you keep under your pillow. It was invasion of basement of ant and basement and antics violated antiques violated. Evan Nappen 40:15 Well, they think it’s really hilarious that they’re going to come for the little ones, the handguns”, and then build up from that. That’s so funny, Teddy. It’s just so funny the way they crush our rights. Teddy Nappen 40:29 Well, you have this. It’s the screeching Left who still believe in going after the little ones. Just look at Lindsey Clancy. But anyways. The whole and going I love how they like say this famous actor from “This Is Us” and this other lady from “Orange is the New Black” and the way there and George voice the voice of God was George on Seinfeld. Okay, cool. The whole plot is the character gets a magic gun that turns people conservative. His daughter gets a magic megaphone that turns people liberal, and the antics ensue. In the end, they go into the whole article about the whole point is to dispel the myth of the good guy with the gun. Evan Nappen 41:11 Oh, the myth of the good guy with the gun. Like all these folks that have made a difference in stopping crime, criminals, terrorism that are average citizens, that no longer want to be victims but have chosen to be defenders. And not just defenders of themselves, but defenders of others. As a matter of fact, Teddy, this goofy crap by them on the play, but weren’t you telling me about that very fact? About the difference being made by people that try to stop, for example, mass shootings? What were you telling Page – 13 – of 15 me about that? Let’s talk about good guy with a gun. What have we learned about good guys with a gun? Teddy Nappen 42:02 So, the CDC again have added the data showing that it’s two. Evan Nappen 42:06 And this is their data from the CDC? Teddy Nappen 42:08 Up to 2 million self-defense uses of a firearm. Self-defense uses. That doesn’t even mean pull the trigger. Defensive uses of a firearm. Evan Nappen 42:18 Right. Just the mere presence of a firearm. Teddy Nappen 42:19 So, if it saves one life . . . how about 2 million? Two million lives saved! That is from the CDC’s website. Also the fact that they are now including the FBI reports showing mass shootings. Now they’re showing civilian intervention and stopping the bad guy. Evan Nappen 42:35 You mean, good guys with a gun, or good guys no longer wanting or agreeing to be victims, and good guys making a difference, right? Teddy Nappen 42:47 Yeah. This is something to where they are. This is a logical fallacy right here. It’s called false premise. They’re starting with a false premise, believing that there’s never any good guy with a gun. Even though we can clearly debunk that immediately just by that argument. But going into this whole insanity of the play, I want to remind you all. This is what they’re about. This is what they try to do through propaganda, and yeah, it’s in the gayest way possible. And I’ll take the citizen vigilante that’ll probably sell out more than this play out of. Evan Nappen 43:21 Well, that’s the crazy thing because movies and other things that were not necessarily designed to be propaganda, but that have the message of individuals who fight back. I mean, you can look at “Red Dawn”, which is still considered a classic today, and what was that? Individuals fighting back. You can look at virtually the entire genre of westerns is the individual who fights back. I mean, that’s what we’re really about. Teddy Nappen 43:55 The funniest scene I ever saw for this as a pro gun argument was in the movie “Death Proof”. It’s rated as one of the worst for Quentin Tarantino. I happen to like it. Page – 14 – of 15 Evan Nappen 44:07 I enjoyed Death Proof. I like the music, too. Teddy Nappen 44:07 Oh yeah, it was good there. Just seeing Kurt Russell play a weird twisted serial. Evan Nappen 44:16 Oh my G-d, yeah, did he ever. Teddy Nappen 44:17 There’s one scene where it’s the four girls are sitting on the table. They’re having a discussion. That’s what Quinn Tarantino always does: is having table conversations. The one girl says, “You still carry a gun? Why do you do that? And it’s like, “Why not?” And goes into that whole argument of where, like, “Why you don’t you know you can risk that? You know what I want? I want to carry my gun. I want to go where I’m able to go. I want to be able to defend myself, and she makes and hits home every argument. Where then they say, “What about pepper spray? I don’t want to give them a rash. I want to put them down. Like that’s the whole. Like they’re trying to be satirical. They’re going to be showing it. Evan Nappen 44:55 Big spoiler is that’s what she uses. Yeah, saves the. Teddy Nappen 45:00 hoots it. Shoots at Kurt Russell to get him to go away to save the girls. So, it’s one of those demonstrations. But even I’ll even give it another way, just satirical. Always Sonny did the exact thing where you have two both sides, ones for pro, ones against, and the anti side is like it’s so easy to get a gun. Both of them get denied their background checks immediately. Then they try, and then immediately try to go to a gun show, and they’re trying to do under the table. And the gun dealer’s like, “No, I’m not going to do that. And finally, they try to do a deal to buy it from an illegal alley, and that falls through, and to the point where they’re arguing. They see like, wow, it really is hard to get a gun. Then we realize, and it’s satirical because they show it in a way. This one here in the whole article, they’re trying to like joke on the liberals by she shops at Trader Joe’s. If you’re using a bazooka on one side and a squirt on the other, it’s you’re not both sizing it very easily. Evan Nappen 46:00 Right. Well, that’s not their goal, but that is really interesting. But I don’t think that play will be coming to a playhouse nearby anytime soon. And if it is, it’ll be a financial failure. Teddy Nappen 46:12 Remember, this is the Left’s game, though. Do you remember when they did Julius Caesar? They dressed him as Donald Trump. This was in 2017. In the play where he’s killed. In the play where he’s violently stabbed to death. Evan Nappen 46:15 No, gee, what were they trying to say there? I wonder. Page – 15 – of 15 Teddy Nappen 46:31 Yeah, exactly. And then you have the New Yorker here trying to say, it’s hardly bears the point that art is not life. I love how they play that game every time. Oh, really? Okay. Now cast Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling as Black Panther for in Wakanda. Then tell me it’s not that. No big deal. I love how they always bring that up when it comes to oh art takes that. Cut to the musical of assassins that they had to cancel after the first attempted assassination. Evan Nappen 47:06 Yeah. Teddy Nappen 47:06 Where it’s a musical about Evan Nappen 47:08 Yeah. This is part of their M.O., and it’s disgusting. Well, Teddy, thanks for bringing that to our attention, so we know what play we’re going to never get a playbill for or see. Now, I’ve got to tell you about this week’s GOFU. You know the GOFU is Gun Owner Fuck Up. It’s where gun owners make mistakes that can cost them their freedom, their firearm rights. It cost them a lot of money, and you get to learn for free, so you don’t become a GOFU. And this week’s GOFU is really basic. Some of you listening may say, “Really, seriously?” I’m telling you, why am I talking about this? Because my friends, I get the phone calls. I get the phone calls from the GOFUers. I get those calls. Evan Nappen 48:01 This week’s GOFU is real simple. Practice your draw. Know your firearm. Okay, simple. Practice drawing and firing if you’re carrying. Practice reholstering. Practice it with an empty firearm. Make sure you are proficient in how to handle your specific firearm and know your gun. Know how it operates. You know, some guns have manual safeties. Some guns do not. Know your gun. Know how to use it. Practice and train. Not just on shooting. Not just on hitting the target. But practice on understanding the function of your gun – the loading, the unloading, how to absolutely know it’s empty. How to work your gun and how to draw your gun. How to holster and unholster your gun. Make sure you’ve practiced that with a safe, empty firearm. That you’ve had the right training. That you’re doing it properly, and that you are proficient in that. Because if you’re not and you have a problem, if you have an A.D., if you have some issue, you’ll become the next GOFU, and I don’t want to see that. Evan Nappen 49:35 This is Evan Nappen and Teddy Nappen reminding you that gun laws do not protect honest citizens from criminals. They protect criminals from honest citizens.

What does real peace actually look like? Is it simply the absence of conflict, or is it something much deeper? In this episode of Masculine Journey After Hours, the guys continue their discussion on peace by exploring why so many of us chase it through circumstances, relationships, justice, finances, or control—only to discover that lasting peace can't be found in external situations. Through heartfelt conversation and memorable clips from Antwone Fisher, Les Misérables, and Invictus, they examine how forgiveness, healing, reconciliation, and surrender to God open the door to the peace that only Christ can give. Whether you're wrestling with past wounds, struggling to forgive, or searching for calm in the middle of life's battles, this episode offers biblical encouragement that true peace isn't found when life becomes easier—it's found when we trust the Prince of Peace. If today's conversation encouraged you, we'd love for you to take the next step. Visit masculinejourney.org to learn more about our boot camps, podcasts, and ministries. Whether you're just beginning your journey or looking to go deeper, there's a place for you. We'd love to have you join us.

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo单词提示1.barricades 路障2.bullet 子弹3.Arsenal 军火库4.tavern 酒馆原文Chapter 5: Love and RebellionSo what is Marius's idea?It is this.He wants to marry Cosette, but he has no money, his grandfather has money.He must ask his grandfather, but his grandfather is an old man, and old men's ideas do not change easily.He shouts at Marius, Marius shouts back, and that is the end of that.The next evening, he goes as usual to the Rue Plume.There is nobody in the garden.The house is dark, the windows are closed, Cosette and her father are gone.Marius cannot live without Cosette.He wants to die, but Gavroche tells him that his friends need him.It is June 1832, and students and workers are running through the streets of Paris, bringing rebellion to the city and everyone must fight the government.Marius is soon at the barricades with a gun in his hand.He is happy, death can come at any moment with a bullet from a soldier's gun.These are dangerous times.Jean Valjean sees Inspector Javert in a street near the Rue Plume.What is he doing there? Are the police watching his house?Valjean does not wait the same night, he and Cosette leave Rue Plume.They moved to 7 Rue de l'Homme-Armé and begin to get ready for England.How can love find a way in these troubled times?When the soldiers attacked in front of the Arsenal building, the people turned and ran this way and that way through the streets of the city.Marius and his friends came to the Rue de la Chanvrerie, and they built their barricade there.It was, 2 meters high, made of wood and stone.Behind their barricade, the rebels waited for the soldiers.Night came,but nothing happened.Enjolras was the leader of the students, he called Gavroche to him.“You're small,”he said, “nobody sees you. Go and have a look round the city, and then bring us any news.”Just after midnight, Gavroche was back.“The soldiers aren't moving,” he said, “but there are a lot of them.”He stopped suddenly and whispered, “Hey, who's that? That tall man over there?”Enjolras and Marius turned to look.“I don't know him.” said Marius.“People are coming and going all night,” said Enjolras, “Why?Gavroche, do you know him?”“Yes,”whispered Gavroche, “he's not one of us, he's a spy, a police spy, name of Javert. He stopped me once down by the river, put me in prison all night.”“Are you certain about this, Gavroche?” said Marius.“I'm certain right,”said Gavroche “he's a spy.”The rebels did not like spies.Four of Enjolras's men jumped on Javert, pulled him into the tavern behind the barricade, and tied him to the wall.“Louise, shoot him now?” asked one of the men.“Later?” said Enjolras, “he can wait.”They went back outside to the barricade, and listened for the sound of soldiers.Gavroche found Marius at the far end of the barricade.“Marius,” he whispered, “on my way back here, I came past your rooms and went in.”“Why?”whispered Marius.“I was hungry,” said Gavroche, “the woman in your house is nice.She always gives me something to eat. But she had a letter for you. She gave it to me. It came two days ago, she said.”“A letter, a letter from whom?”Suddenly,there was hope in Marius's heart.“Quick, give it to me.”The letter was from Cosette.“My dearest father says we must leave at once. We go tonight to 7 Rue de l'Homme-Armé, and soon to England. Oh,my dear, how can I live without you? Cosette.”Marius read this letter four times and then kissed it.She still loved him.He must write back to her and say his last goodbye.There was still no sound of soldiers in the street.He found some paper and a pencil.“Cosette dearest, I came to the Rue Plume, but you were gone already. We cannot marry. I went to my grandfather, and he said no. I have no money, and you have no money. I love you, I can never forget you. The fighting begins here very soon. When I am dead, don't be sad. Our love was beautiful. Marius.”He called to Gavroche,“I want you to take this letter to the Rue de l'Homme-Armé. Can you do that for me?”“Yes, but, but now…” said Gavroche, “I am staying here for the fighting, I can shoot too, you know?”“Gavroche,you're just a boy, we don't want you to die in the fighting, stay away from the shooting. And this letter is very important to me. It must go now. I want you to put it into Cosette's hands. Please, Gavroche.”“Oh, very well.”said Gavroche.He took the letter, put it inside his shirt, and ran off into the dark.When Valjeanand Cosette left the house in Rue Plumet, Cosette was very sad.Valjean saw this, but he said nothing.In the Rue de l'Homme-Armé, Cosette stayed in her bedroom, Toussaint took her meals up to her in the night.Valjean could not sleep.The city was quiet, but for how long?He went outside the house and stood in the street, listening.There were voices in the next street, and then he heard singing, a boy singing.Gavroche came up the street, looking at the house numbers.He saw Valjean and stopped.“Well, young man, watch the news,” said Valjean,“The news is now I'm hungry.” said Gavroche.Valjean put his hand in his pocket and found a five-franc piece.Gavroche stared at it.He didn't see many five-franc pieces, and he was very pleased to see this one.He put it in his pocket.“You're all right,” he said, “Do you live in this street? Do you know number 7?”“What do you want with number 7?” said Valjean.“Letter for someone.” said Gavroche.“A woman?”Valjean stared at him.He felt cold.“A woman.”“Cosette”, he remembered once, the young man in the Luxembourg, he tried to smile.“That's the letter for Cosette,” he said, “I'm waiting for it.”“Yes, that's her. Well, here you are.” said Gavroche, “It comes from the barricade in the Rue de la Chanvrerie. I'm going back there now. Goodnight, monsieur.”Jean Valjean went back into the house with Marius's letter.He read it quickly.“I love you, I can never forget you…”So Cosette, his dear, dear daughter, was in love, she was his world.Without her, his life was nothing, he could not even think about it.“When I am dead, don't be sad”, those words gave him hope.So the young man was one of the rebels at the barricade.“When the soldiers start shooting,” he thought, “that's the end of all the rebels. I do nothing, I say nothing, I keep this letter and poof, nothing changes in our lives.”But Valjean did not feel easy, he remembered all their happy years as father and daughter.And he saw again Cosette's sad eyes, when they left the Rue Plumet.How could he take her away to England?He turned and went out of the room.A little later, he left the house wearing dark clothes and carrying a gun, and walked away down the street.翻译第五章：爱与反叛那么，马吕斯的计划究竟是什么呢？其实很简单。他想娶珂赛特，但他身无分文，而他的祖父却很有钱。他必须去求祖父，但祖父是个老人，而老人的观念是很难改变的。祖父冲他大吼，马吕斯也毫不退让地顶嘴，结果可想而知，谈话不欢而散。第二天傍晚，他像往常一样来到普吕梅街。花园里空无一人。整栋房子漆黑一片，窗户紧闭，珂赛特和她父亲已经搬走了。没有珂赛特，马吕斯根本活不下去。他万念俱灰，只想一死了之，但加夫罗什告诉他，他的朋友们需要他。那是1832年6月，学生和工人们涌上巴黎的街头，将反叛的火种播撒到整座城市，所有人都起来反抗政府。很快，马吕斯便手持火枪，站在了街垒之后。他感到一种悲壮的决绝，因为士兵的子弹随时都可能夺走他的生命。这是一个动荡危险的时代。冉阿让在普吕梅街附近的一条街上看见了沙威警长。他在那儿干什么？警察是不是在监视他的住处？冉阿让没有等到天亮，当晚便带着珂赛特离开了普吕梅街。他们搬到了武人街7号，并开始为前往英国做准备。在这样的乱世之中，爱情该何去何从？当士兵们在兵工厂大楼前发起进攻时，人群四散奔逃，在城市的街巷中四处乱窜。马吕斯和他的朋友们来到了尚夫雷里街，在那里筑起了一座街垒。街垒有两米多高，由木头和石头堆砌而成。在街垒后方，起义者们严阵以待，等待着士兵的到来。夜幕降临，但什么也没有发生。安灼拉是学生们的领袖，他把加夫罗什叫到身边。“你个子小，”他说，“没人会注意到你。去城里侦察一下，然后把消息带回来。”刚过午夜，加夫罗什就回来了。“士兵们还没行动，”他说，“但人非常多。”他突然停下脚步，压低声音说：“嘿，那是谁？那边那个高个子男人？”安灼拉和马吕斯转头望去。“我不认识他。”马吕斯说。“整晚都有人在街垒周围走来走去，”安灼拉说，“怎么回事？加夫罗什，你认识他吗？”“认识，”加夫罗什悄声说，“他不是我们的人，是个密探，警察的密探，名叫沙威。他有一次在河边把我拦住，把我关了一整夜。”“你确定吗，加夫罗什？”马吕斯问。“我百分之百确定，”加夫罗什说，“他就是个密探。”起义者们最痛恨密探。安灼拉手下的四个人猛扑向沙威，把他拽进街垒后面的酒馆，牢牢地绑在墙上。“路易，现在就把他毙了吗？”其中一个人问。“晚点再说，”安灼拉说，“他可以先留着。”他们回到街垒外，继续倾听是否有士兵逼近的脚步声。加夫罗什在街垒的尽头找到了马吕斯。“马吕斯，”他低声说，“我回来的路上，经过你的住处，就顺便进去了一趟。”“去干什么？”马吕斯问。“我饿了，”加夫罗什说，“你屋里的那个女人人挺好的，总是给我点吃的。不过她有一封给你的信。她说那是两天前到的，就交给了我。”“一封信？谁的信？”马吕斯的心里突然燃起了一丝希望。“快，给我！”那是珂赛特写来的信。“我最亲爱的父亲说我们必须立刻离开。我们今晚就要搬到武人街7号，很快就会去英国。哦，亲爱的，没有你我该怎么活？珂赛特。”马吕斯把信读了四遍，然后深深地吻了它。她依然爱着他。他必须给她写封回信，作最后的道别。街上依然没有士兵的动静。他找来纸笔。“我最亲爱的珂赛特：我去了普吕梅街，但你们已经走了。我们无法结婚了。我去求了祖父，但他拒绝了。我没有钱，你也没有。我爱你，我永远无法将你忘记。这里的战斗马上就要打响了。当我死后，请不要悲伤。我们的爱是美好的。马吕斯。”他叫来加夫罗什：“我想让你把这封信送到武人街。你能帮我这个忙吗？”“能是能，但现在……”加夫罗什说，“我要留在这里参加战斗，你知道吗，我也能开枪的？”“加夫罗什，你只是个孩子，我们不想让你死在战场上，离枪林弹雨远点。而且这封信对我来说至关重要。它必须立刻送出。我要你亲手交到珂赛特手里。求你了，加夫罗什。”“哦，那好吧。”加夫罗什说。他接过信，把它塞进衬衫里，一头扎进了黑夜中。当冉阿让和珂赛特离开普吕梅街的住处时，珂赛特伤心欲绝。冉阿让看在眼里，却什么也没说。在武人街的住处，珂赛特把自己关在卧室里，夜里由老女仆杜桑把饭菜端上去给她。冉阿让无法入睡。城市虽然安静，但这平静又能维持多久呢？他走出屋子，站在街上侧耳倾听。邻街传来了人声，接着他又听到了歌声，是一个男孩在唱歌。加夫罗什顺着街道走来，一边走一边看着门牌号。他看见了冉阿让，便停了下来。“小伙子，有什么消息吗？”冉阿让问。“现在的消息就是：我饿了。”加夫罗什回答。冉阿让把手伸进口袋，摸出一枚五法郎的硬币。加夫罗什盯着那枚硬币。他很少能见到五法郎的硬币，看到它让他非常高兴。他把硬币装进口袋。“你人不错，”他说，“你住在这条街上吗？你知道7号在哪儿吗？”“你找7号干什么？”冉阿让问。“给里面的人送信。”加夫罗什说。“是给一位女士的吗？”冉阿让紧紧盯着他。他感到一阵寒意。“是给一位女士的。”“珂赛特……”他想起了卢森堡公园里的那个年轻人，勉强挤出一丝微笑。“那是给珂赛特的信，”他说，“我在等这封信。”“对，就是给她的。喏，给你。”加夫罗什说，“信是从尚夫雷里街的街垒送来的。我现在得回去了。晚安，先生。”冉阿让拿着马吕斯的信回到了屋里。他飞快地看了一遍。“我爱你，我永远无法将你忘记……”原来，他亲爱的女儿恋爱了。她就是他的一切。如果没有她，他的生命将毫无意义，他甚至不敢去想那种可能。“当我死后，请不要悲伤”，这句话给了他一丝希望。原来，那个年轻人就是街垒里的起义者之一。“一旦士兵们开火，”他想，“那些起义者就全完了。我什么都不做，什么都不说，只要把这封信藏起来，然后‘噗'的一下，我们俩的生活就不会有任何改变。”但冉阿让的心里并不踏实。他回想起了他们作为父女相伴的那些快乐岁月。他又看到了离开普吕梅街时，珂赛特那双悲伤的眼睛。他怎么能就这样把她强行带到英国去呢？他转过身，走出了房间。

What does true mercy really look like? Is it simply not getting what we deserve—or is it something far deeper? In this heartfelt episode of Masculine Journey After Hours, the guys continue their conversation on mercy by exploring powerful movie moments from Schindler's List and Les Misérables, discovering how genuine mercy is rooted in humility, sacrifice, and the transforming love of God. Through honest personal testimonies, they share how receiving mercy from spouses, friends, and ultimately Christ has changed their lives in profound ways. The conversation challenges listeners to consider what it means to extend mercy to those who have hurt us, why mercy always carries a cost, and how God's loving-kindness empowers us to forgive when it seems impossible. Along the way, the team also highlights the importance of investing in the next generation through meaningful father-daughter relationships. Whether you've struggled to receive mercy or find it difficult to offer it, this episode is a powerful reminder that God's mercy doesn't just cover our past—it transforms our future. If today's conversation encouraged you, we'd love for you to take the next step. Visit masculinejourney.org to learn more about our boot camps, podcasts, and ministries. Whether you're just beginning your journey or looking to go deeper, there's a place for you. We'd love to have you join us.

In this episode of “Half Hour,” we take a deeper dive into Hudson Valley Shakespeare's Les Misérables, now playing at the Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center in Garrison, New York. We break down the plot, the June Rebellion of 1832, and how director Jenn Thompson's outdoor staging uses the Hudson Valley landscape, a smaller ensemble, double casting, and a central French flag to reshape the story's scale and emotional impact. We discuss Josh Young's Jean Valjean, Haley Dortch's Fantine and Enjolras, Denis Lambert's Javert, Ana Paola Garcia's Cosette, Haley Rose Ciaramella's Éponine, David Beach and Nance Williamson as the Thénardiers, and the creative choices that bring the musical's ideas of mercy, faith, justice, sacrifice, and hope into focus. We also talk about the new Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center, what a permanent home means for Hudson Valley Shakespeare, and why Les Misérables continues to connect with audiences.

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo原文Chapter 4: MariusNine years pass, Valjean and Cosette are living in the Rue Plumet in Paris,in a house with a big garden.It is a quiet street and nobody comes there.This pleases Valjean, because he is still afraid of Inspector Javert.Cosette is now a young woman.She is tall with golden brown hair.She is beautiful, but there are many beautiful faces in the world.The wonderful thing about Cosette's face is her smile, a slow warm gentle smile like sunlight after rain.And now, we must meet Marius and his young friend Gavroche.Marius is a student, a young man with many ideas but no money.Paris is full of young men like this.Marius has a grandfather, his father is dead,But he does not talk to him, their political ideas are very different.At 17, he leaves home with 30 francs, his watch and a small bag of clothes.Now five years older, he lives with other students, and they talk all night about books and ideas, politics and government, life and death.All students are like this.They live for ideas and do a little work here and there when they need to.Gavroche is a child of the Paris streets.He is 11 or 12 years old, and wears a man's trousers and a woman's shirt.A kind woman gave these clothes to him.He lives on the streets, knows everybody,goes everywhere, and enjoys life.Well, why not? He knows no other life, only this one.Marius loved walking through the streets and gardens of Paris, and he often walked in the Luxembourg Garden.One day in the garden, he saw a man with a young girl.The man was about 60, and the girl, Marius thought, was about 17.He did not see her eyes, but he saw her golden-brown hair and her slow gentle smile.He walked past them once and did not look back, but he came to the Luxembourg the next day, and the day after that.And for the next five days, the man and the girl were always there.He could not stop looking at the girl.He wanted very much to see that smile, smile again.On the seventh day, the girl turned her head and looked at Marius.She looked into his eyes across the garden, and that look went like a bullet from a gun into Marius's heart.There were no words, but at once Marius knew, and the girl knew this was love.Life stopped for Marius then.He spent hours in the Luxembourg.And every time he saw her, the sun came out and all the birds in the garden began singing.But the man began to look at Marius too, and his face was not friendly.Marius was afraid and he went to Gavroche.“Gavroche, please, you must help me.”“Why? What's the matter? Monsieur Marius.”“There's a girl, Gavroche. She walks in the Luxembourg every day. I want you to follow her home, and tell me the address.”“Why don't you follow her? I am busy.” said Gavroche.“I'm afraid to,” said Marius, “her father,grandfather, I don't know, is watching me. He doesn't like me.”“Why is this important? Monsieur Marius.” Gavroche said.“He had a big smile on his face. Because I'min love,” shouted Marius, “Please, Gavroche, do it.”Gavroche ran away laughing.Two days later, he came to Marius's rooms,Rue plume.He said, “House at the end of the street,hard to find, you need to look for it.”Spring came and Cosette began to go out into the garden at Rue Plume.She was usually alone.Her old servant Toussaint was always in the kitchen, and Father Jean Valjean was in his room reading.Cosette was sad.She remembered the young man in the Luxembourg Garden, but Father no longer wanted to go there.But that evening, in the Rue Plume Garden something very wonderful happened.She heard a voice, a man's voice.She looked round and it was him.“I'm so sorry,” he said, “please don't be afraid. I just wanted to… You remember the Luxembourg Garden? I saw you therefor the first time, I can't forget you day and night, I think about you. Please don't be afraid, you see, I love you. It just happened to me, I can't stop it. Don't be afraid, please.”Cosette listened to this wonderful river of words and then held out her hand to him.He took her hand, and she pulled it to her and put it against her heart.“Then, you love me?”he said.“Of course, you know that.”A kiss, no words.They did not need words.Later words came, the story of his life, the story of her life, everything between lovers, everything is interesting.When they were done with words,Cosette put her head on Marius's shoulder and asked, “what is your name?”“My name is Marius, and yours?”“Cosette.”Every evening, they met secretly in the garden at Rue Plume.A kiss, a gentle laugh, whispered words of love.It was the spring and summer of their young lives.But around them, outside their garden, there was change.There were angry people, there were police and soldiers on the streets of Paris.And one day, Jean Valjean said to Cosette, “My dearest child, we live in dangerous times. We must leave France and go to England.”Cosette looked at him with frightened eyes.“Must we go, father?” She said.Valjean watched her face.“We must,” he said, “Get ready to leave very soon.”There was a change in Cosette.Valjean remembered the young man in the Luxembourg Garden and he looked at Cosette's beautiful young face.He was afraid, afraid of losing his dear daughter.That evening in the Rue Plume Garden, there were many unhappy tears.“But you must follow us to England,” cried Cosette.“How can I do that?” cried Marius, “I have no money, no passport. Even England to me is like the moon.”They held hands in the moonlight.“Listen, I have an idea,” Marius said slowly,“Wait two days, perhaps.”“Two days?” cried Cosette, “How can I live two days without you?”翻译第四章：马吕斯九年过去了，冉阿让和珂赛特住在巴黎的普吕梅街，那是一栋带大花园的房子。这是一条安静的街道，鲜有人至。这让冉阿让感到安心，因为他依然对沙威警长心存畏惧。如今的珂赛特已经长成了一个年轻女子。她身材高挑，留着一头金棕色的头发。她很美，但这世上美丽的容颜并不少见。珂赛特脸上最动人的，是她的微笑——那是一种缓慢、温暖、轻柔的微笑，宛如雨后初晴的阳光。现在，我们该认识一下马吕斯和他的年轻朋友加夫罗什了。马吕斯是个学生，一个满脑子想法却身无分文的年轻人。巴黎满大街都是这样的年轻人。马吕斯有个祖父，他的父亲已经去世了。但他和祖父互不说话，因为他们的政治理念截然不同。十七岁那年，他带着30法郎、一块怀表和一小包衣服离家出走。如今五年过去了，他和一群学生住在一起，他们整夜整夜地谈论书籍与思想、政治与政府、生与死。所有的学生都是这样。他们为理想而活，只在缺钱的时候才偶尔去打点零工。加夫罗什是个在巴黎街头长大的野孩子。他十一二岁，穿着一条男人的裤子和一件女人的衬衫。这是一位好心的女士给他的衣服。他风餐露宿，认识所有人，哪儿都敢去，而且非常享受这样的生活。是啊，为什么不呢？除了这种生活，他什么也没经历过。马吕斯喜欢漫步在巴黎的街道和花园里，他经常去卢森堡公园散步。有一天在公园里，他看见一个男人带着一个小姑娘。那个男人大概六十岁，马吕斯心想，那女孩大概十七岁。他没看清她的眼睛，但他看到了她金棕色的头发和那缓慢轻柔的微笑。他从他们身边走过，没有回头。但第二天、第三天，他又来到了卢森堡公园。在接下来的五天里，那个男人和女孩总是出现在那里。他无法控制自己的目光，总是忍不住看向那个女孩。他多么渴望能再次看到那个微笑。到了第七天，女孩转过头，看向了马吕斯。她隔着花园望向他的眼睛，那目光就像子弹一样，直击马吕斯的心脏。没有只言片语，但就在那一瞬间，马吕斯明白了，女孩也明白了——这就是爱情。那一刻，马吕斯的世界仿佛静止了。他在卢森堡公园里度过了好几个小时。每一次看到她，他都觉得阳光洒满了大地，花园里的鸟儿都在为他歌唱。但是，那个男人也开始注意到了马吕斯，而且眼神并不友善。马吕斯害怕了，他去找加夫罗什。“加夫罗什，求求你，你必须帮帮我。”“怎么了？出什么事了，马吕斯先生？”“有个女孩，加夫罗什。她每天都去卢森堡公园散步。我想让你跟着她回家，告诉我她的地址。”“你自己怎么不跟着？我很忙的。”加夫罗什说。“我不敢，”马吕斯说，“她父亲，或者祖父，我搞不清楚，一直在盯着我。他不喜欢我。”“这有什么关系吗，马吕斯先生？”加夫罗什说。“因为我恋爱了啊！”马吕斯大喊道，“求你了，加夫罗什，帮帮我吧。”加夫罗什大笑着跑开了。两天后，他来到了马吕斯在普吕梅街的住处。他说：“街道尽头的那栋房子，很难找，你得仔细留意。”春天来了，珂赛特开始走到普吕梅街的花园里。她通常是一个人。老女仆杜桑总在厨房里忙碌，而冉阿让父亲则在自己的房间里看书。珂赛特感到有些忧伤。她想念卢森堡公园里的那个年轻人，但父亲已经不想再去那里了。然而，那天傍晚，在普吕梅街的花园里，一件奇妙的事情发生了。她听到了一个声音，一个男人的声音。她回过头，正是他。“万分抱歉，”他说，“请别害怕。我只是想……你还记得卢森堡公园吗？我在那里第一次见到你，从此日夜都无法将你忘记，脑海里全是你。请别害怕，你看，我爱你。这感情就这样发生了，我无法阻挡。请别害怕。”珂赛特听着这如河水般倾泻而出的动人话语，然后向他伸出了手。他握住她的手，她却将他的手拉向自己，紧紧贴在自己的心口。“那么，你爱我？”他问。“当然，你是知道的。”一个吻，无需言语。他们不需要任何言语。后来，他们终于开口了，讲述彼此的人生故事。恋人之间的一切，都是那么有趣。当话语说尽，珂赛特把头靠在马吕斯的肩上，轻声问：“你叫什么名字？”“我叫马吕斯。你呢？”“珂赛特。”从此，每天傍晚，他们都在普吕梅街的花园里秘密相会。一个吻，一声轻柔的笑，几句耳鬓厮磨的情话。这是他们青春岁月里的春天与盛夏。但在他们周围，在花园之外，世界正在发生剧变。人们群情激愤，巴黎的街道上到处是警察和士兵。有一天，冉阿让对珂赛特说：“我最亲爱的孩子，我们正身处危险的时代。我们必须离开法国，去英国。”珂赛特用惊恐的眼神看着他。“我们必须走吗，父亲？”她说。冉阿让注视着她。“我们必须走，”他说，“准备一下，我们很快就要动身了。”珂赛特变了。冉阿让想起了卢森堡公园里的那个年轻人，他端详着珂赛特年轻美丽的脸庞。他害怕了，他害怕失去自己心爱的女儿。那天傍晚，在普吕梅街的花园里，充满了悲伤的泪水。“但你必须跟着我们去英国啊！”珂赛特哭喊道。“我怎么去得了？”马吕斯也哭喊道，“我没有钱，也没有护照。对我来说，去英国简直就像去月球一样遥远。”他们在月光下紧紧牵着手。“听着，我有个主意，”马吕斯缓缓地说，“等两天，也许只要两天。”“两天？”珂赛特哭喊道，“没有你，我该怎么熬过这两天？”

LZ interviews West End leading man Bradley Jaden, recently seen as Inspector Javert in Les Misérables: The Arena Concert at Radio City Music Hall, about the show's renewed impact and Jaden's approach to portraying Javert with increasing vulnerability and a visible “slow demise.” Jaden discusses moving to New York and feeling lonely and overwhelmed by the sudden shift in attention, navigating introversion in an extrovert-facing career, losing significant weight after being told it would help his success, and living with body dysmorphia. He shares surviving a suicide attempt and how Les Mis has been therapeutic, enabling open conversations about men's mental health. They also cover his asthma as a childhood challenge that became a “superpower,” his stage name's origin, his support network, and end with a brief lyric exchange and Jaden's statement, “I… am beautiful because… I love deep.”Menu: 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:23 Mirror Check In03:44 Les Mis Resurgence05:02 New York Adjustment09:09 Introvert in Spotlight10:16 Weight and Image Pressure13:57 Stage Name Origin15:09 Career Gratitude and Growth18:53 Support Network and Mentors24:57 Why His Javert Hits Different26:58 Javert Foundations and Auditions31:57 Mental Health and Method41:30 Audience Connection and Purpose43:30 No Singing Lessons Reveal44:01 No Sheet Music Needed44:51 Finding Purpose in Small Wins45:24 First Auditions and Miss Saigon Break47:12 Les Mis Praise and Afterglow48:09 Google Rumors and Relationship Truth50:17 Learning Self Love50:39 Five Things I Like About Me53:58 Asthma Turned Superpower55:58 Rapid Fire Broadway Picks59:15 Singing Challenge and Stars Tease01:05:58 Heartfelt Wrap Up and Beautiful Because

How do you make readers root for a character who has done something terrible? In this episode of The Dialogue Doctor Podcast, Jeff Elkins sits down with new author Aubrey W to talk through one of the hardest emotional arcs to pull off: repentance. Aubrey is working on a thriller built around a character who has done real harm, but she does not want the reader simply waiting for punishment. She wants the reader to long for redemption. That creates a powerful craft problem. How do you make a morally compromised character compelling without excusing what they have done? Jeff and Aubrey dig into what makes readers forgive, follow, and even love difficult characters. They talk about redemption arcs, unlikable protagonists, hidden wounds, vigilante logic, unreliable narrators, and the emotional difference between justice, revenge, repentance, and mercy. The conversation pulls examples from Six of Crows, Les Misérables, Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, Dexter, and Spider-Man to explore how authors can give readers permission to care about characters who are lying, hiding, hurting people, or justifying their worst choices. They also get into the practical craft of first-person POV, how to create two distinct narrator voices, how inner thought changes pacing, when a character should lie to the reader, and why some stories only work when we are trapped inside the character's head. Listen in if you are writing a thriller, a redemption arc, an unreliable narrator, a morally gray protagonist, or any character who needs the reader to think, "I hate what you're doing, but I still want you to change." Because redemption only works when the reader still believes there is someone inside the character worth saving.   For more, check out Dialogue Doctor.com

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo原文Chapter 3: CosetteMonsieur Madeleine is of course Jean Valjean.You knew that already after Denya.He sells the bishop's silver plates, but keeps the candlesticks.He comes to Montroy,builds his factory, works hard, is kind to other people.He makes a new good life, and is true to the bishop of Denya.But after Valjean left prison in Toulon and before he came to Denya, he was hungry, and in a street in Toulon he stole some money from a boy, just one franc, to buy bread.Because he did this, the law in France says that prisoner Valjean must go back to prison and stay there for life.He can never be a free man again.And so we meet Javert.Before Montroy,he was a prison guard at Toulon.The law is his god, and he hates all criminals.He remembers Jean Valjean, that big strong man, very well.He wants to see him in prison again, and he Inspector Javert is going to put him there.Jean Valjean remembers Javert now.He remembers the cold eyes, the hard voice, the cruel prison guard's smile.He remembers and is afraid.He knows that Javert is his enemy for life, but he remembers Fantine, too.He remembers her dying words, “Please take care of Cosette, please.”How can he leave this little girl without a mother, without a friend in the world?He must find her, Javert or no Javert.Monsieur and Madame Thenardier lived in a village called Montfermeil near Paris.There was no water in the village, and the nearest water was a small river in a wood 15 minutes ' walk away.People carried the water in buckets to their houses.Cosette hated that wood.At night, the trees made noises.She was frightened of the noises, frightened of the dark, and with a heavy bucket of water it was a long walk home.One dark winter night in 1823, Madame Thenardier sent Cosette out to the river for water.Cosette ran to the river.And then, with her heavy bucket of water, she began to walk home.The trees were noisy tonight, whispering and laughing at her.And the little girl began to cry.“Oh, please God, help me, please, dear God.”And suddenly the bucket was gone.A great hand came down and took it from her.She looked up and saw big man in an old yellow coat.Sometimes we know without words when something good is happening.The little girl knew that now, and she was not frightened of the big man, not a bit.The man spoke to her child, “This is a very heavy bucket. Shall I carry it for you?”“Yes, monsieur.”“How old are you?”“I'm 8 years old, monsieur.”“Where is your mother?”“I don't know,”said the child, “I haven't got a mother.”“What's your name?”“Cosette.”The big man stopped, he put the bucket down and looked into Cosette's face.“Why are you carrying a heavy bucket of water at this time of night, who sent you?”“Madame Thenardier.”“I would like to talk to this Madame Thenardier. Shall we go and see her?”“Yes,monsieur.”Cosette was not afraid of the tree noises now.This big man with his gentle voice was a new and wonderful thing in her life.They walked to the Thenardier's house.“Please,monsieur, can I carry the bucket now?”“But why?”“I can't ask people for help. Madame says she hits me when I do that,” Cosette said, “she hits me all the time.”He gave her the bucket.The Thenardiers were very surprised to see Cosette's new friend, this big man in the old yellow coat.Inside the house, the big man looked at Cosette.He saw her thin clothes, her dirty hair, her big frightened eyes.She was small for her 8 years.Her hands were red from kitchen work, and she had no shoes.“Why does this child have no shoes on her feet on this cold winter night?” He said to Madame Thenardier.Madame Thenardier looked at Cosette angrily.“Go into the kitchen, Cosette. There is work to do, go. And are you?Monsieur.” Thenardier said.“I am here for Fantine, the child's mother,” said the big man. “You don't need to know my name. Fantine is dead, so you can get no more money from her here.”He put some money on the table is 1500 francs.“Now call the child I'm taking her away.”When Jean Valjean and Cosette left Montfermeil, Cosette did not look back.She never wanted to see Madame Thenardier again.She put her cold little hand into Valjean's great hand and looked up into his face.“Monsieur,”she said, “can I, can I call you Father?”Valjean looked down at her big round eyes.“Yes,” he said.He did not know love, he did not understand love, but in that moment, suddenly he felt a father's love for this small child.“Yes,” he said again, “yes, you can call me father, it's a good name.”Hand in hand,they walked away on the road to Paris.In Paris,Cosette learn to laugh, and to sing like a bird, and to be happy.Jean Valjean learned to be father and mother to this child, and he loved her dearly.But they lived quietly, moved house often, and only went out at night.Because Javert too was in Paris.When Valjean escaped from Montroy, Javert came to Paris to look for him. He was now an important inspector in the Paris police.Every criminal in Paris was afraid of Inspector Javert.Once Valjeansaw Javert by the river, and the next day he looked for a new place to live.He found one behind the high walls of a girl school.The school gave Valjean a job as a gardener, and he lived in a little house in the big gardens.Cosette lived in the school, but every day, she came to the gardener's little house for one hour.They talked,and they sang, and they read books.It was the happiest hour in the day for her and for Jean Valjean.And so the years passed.翻译第三章：珂赛特马德兰先生当然就是冉阿让。在迪涅镇发生的那些事之后，你其实就已经知道了。他卖掉了主教给的银餐盘，却留下了那对银烛台。他来到蒙特勒伊，建起工厂，拼命工作，对他人仁慈宽厚。他开启了一段崭新而向善的人生，也没有辜负迪涅主教的期望。但是，在冉阿让离开土伦监狱、抵达迪涅镇之前，他曾饱受饥饿之苦。在土伦的一条街上，为了买面包，他从一个男孩那里偷了钱——仅仅只有一法郎。就因为这个，法国的法律规定，囚犯冉阿让必须重返监狱，并在那里度过余生。他再也无法成为一个自由人了。于是，我们认识了沙威。在来到蒙特勒伊之前，他是土伦监狱的一名狱卒。法律就是他的神明，他痛恨一切罪犯。他非常清楚地记得冉阿让——那个高大强壮的男人。他想再次看到冉阿让身陷囹圄，而他沙威警长，就要亲手把他送进去。此时的冉阿让也想起了沙威。他记得那双冰冷的眼睛、那副生硬的嗓音，还有狱卒那残忍的微笑。他回忆起了这一切，心中充满恐惧。他知道沙威将是他一生的死敌，但他同样想起了芳汀。他记起了她临终前的话语：“求您照顾珂赛特，求求您了。”他怎么能把这个没有母亲、在世上举目无亲的小女孩孤零零地丢下呢？他必须找到她，无论有没有沙威的阻拦。德纳第夫妇住在巴黎附近一个叫蒙费梅伊的村子里。村里没有水，最近的水源在十五分钟路程外的一片树林里的一条小河。人们只能提着水桶把水扛回家。珂赛特恨透了那片树林。一到夜里，树木就会发出各种声响。她害怕那些声音，害怕黑暗，而且提着沉甸甸的水桶，回家的路显得格外漫长。1823年一个漆黑的冬夜，德纳第太太又打发珂赛特去河边打水。珂赛特一路小跑来到河边。然后，提着那桶沉重的水，她开始往回走。今晚树林里的树木喧闹不止，仿佛在对着她窃窃私语、嘲笑她。小女孩忍不住哭了起来。“哦，上帝啊，求求您帮帮我，仁慈的上帝啊。”突然，水桶从她手里消失了。一只宽大的手伸下来，替她接过了水桶。她抬起头，看到一个穿着破旧黄外套的高大男人。有时候，无需言语，我们也能感觉到好事正在发生。小女孩此刻就明白了，她一点儿也不害怕这个高大的男人。男人用对孩子说话的温柔语气对她说：“这桶水太沉了。我帮你提好吗？”“好的，先生。”“你几岁了？”“我8岁了，先生。”“你妈妈在哪儿？”“我不知道，”孩子说，“我没有妈妈。”“你叫什么名字？”“珂赛特。”高大的男人停下脚步，放下水桶，端详着珂赛特的脸。“这么晚了，谁派你出来提这么重的一桶水？”“德纳第太太。”“我想和这位德纳第太太谈谈。我们一起去见见她好吗？”“好的，先生。”此时的珂赛特已经不再害怕树林里的声响了。这个说话温柔的高大男人，成了她生命中一个全新而美好的存在。他们一起走到了德纳第家。“先生，求求您，现在我可以自己提水桶了吗？”“为什么呢？”“我不能向别人求助。太太说，如果我要是求助，她就会打我。”珂赛特说，“她总是打我。”他把水桶还给了她。看到珂赛特的新朋友——这个穿着破旧黄外套的高大男人，德纳第夫妇感到非常惊讶。在屋里，高大男人仔细打量着珂赛特。他看到她单薄的衣服、脏乱的头发，还有那双充满惊恐的大眼睛。八岁的她，个头比同龄人小得多。她的双手因为干厨房的粗活而通红，脚上连双鞋都没有。“这么冷的冬夜，这孩子怎么连双鞋都没穿？”他问德纳第太太。德纳第太太恶狠狠地瞪了珂赛特一眼。“进厨房去，珂赛特。还有活儿要干呢，快去。那么您呢，先生？”德纳第太太问道。“我是为了这孩子母亲芳汀的事来的，”高大男人说，“你们不必知道我的名字。芳汀已经死了，你们再也别想从她那儿要到一分钱了。”他把一些钱放在桌上——那是1500法郎。“现在把孩子叫来，我要带她走。”当冉阿让和珂赛特离开蒙费梅伊时，珂赛特没有回头。她再也不想见到德纳第太太了。她把冰冷的小手放进冉阿让宽大的手掌里，仰起头看着他的脸。“先生，”她说，“我，我可以叫您父亲吗？”冉阿让低头看着她那双圆溜溜的大眼睛。“可以。”他说。他曾经不懂得爱，也不明白什么是爱，但在那一刻，他突然对这个小小的孩子生出了一种深沉的父爱。“可以，”他又说了一遍，“是的，你可以叫我父亲，这是一个很好的称呼。”他们手牵着手，走在通往巴黎的路上。在巴黎，珂赛特学会了笑，学会了像小鸟一样唱歌，学会了感受快乐。冉阿让也学着同时扮演这个孩子的父亲和母亲，他深深地爱着她。但他们过着深居简出的生活，经常搬家，并且只在夜里出门。因为沙威也来到了巴黎。当冉阿让从蒙特勒伊逃脱后，沙威便来到巴黎搜寻他。此时的沙威已经是巴黎警察局里一位举足轻重的警长。巴黎的每一个罪犯都对沙威警长闻风丧胆。有一次，冉阿让在河边看见了沙威，第二天他便立刻寻找新的住处。他在一家女子学校高高的围墙后找到了一个安身之所。学校给冉阿让提供了一份园丁的工作，他住在大花园里的一栋小房子中。珂赛特就在那所学校里生活，但每天，她都会来到园丁的小屋里待上一个小时。他们聊天、唱歌、读书。这是她和冉阿让一天中最幸福的一个小时。就这样，岁月悄然流逝。

Zhubin Parang, who has been with The Daily Show since the first time around with Jon Stewart, fully recognizes that among the many characters in the musical Les Misérables, only Javert really has an actual character arc. Only he goes somewhere over the course of the story. The rest kind of hold their ground, face grim adversity, and sing sing sing. That's all good with Zhubin, he loves the crap out of Les Mis and has seen it many times and, in order to put you to sleep, Zhubin is hear to tell you EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN LES MIS.

Why do certain stories break us open in ways we cannot fully explain? Why does the sacrifice of a fictional lion make a grown adult cry? Why does a humble gardener carrying his friend through darkness produce that catch in the throat that feels like something more than sentiment? Why does a wrongly imprisoned man emerging into the rain with his arms outstretched feel less like a plot point and more like a moment of genuine liberation? In this episode Tanya explores one of the most beautiful ideas in all of Christian thought — the concept C.S. Lewis called Sehnsucht — the inconsolable longing that no earthly experience can satisfy. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3:11, Lewis's works including The Weight of Glory and Mere Christianity, and Tolkien's argument that the gospel is the myth that is also true, Tanya makes the case that the stories that move us most are not accidental. They are echoes. Breadcrumbs scattered by God across the human imagination — in Narnia and Middle Earth and nineteenth century Paris and the walls of Shawshank — all carrying the same thread. The same fingerprint. The same frequency that the eternity in every human heart was designed to recognize. She walks through the gospel thread running through The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Lord of the Rings, Les Misérables, The Shawshank Redemption, Beauty and the Beast, and Encanto — showing the specific gospel element each story carries. And she addresses what we see in people who reject the longing versus those who follow it home — drawing from Pascal, Frankl, and Augustine. This is not a theology lecture. It is a joyful, relational, wonder-filled conversation about the Story we were all made for. In This Episode You'll Learn: What Ecclesiastes 3:11 means when it says God set eternity in the human heart C.S. Lewis's concept of Sehnsucht — the inconsolable longing and what it points toward The famous argument Lewis received from Tolkien — the gospel as the myth that is also true Why story bypasses the defensive intellect and reaches the soul directly The gospel thread running through The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe — substitutionary atonement and resurrection The gospel threads in The Lord of the Rings — providence, sacrificial love, and human insufficiency completed by grace The grace-and-law dynamic in Les Misérables — and what Javert shows us about the person who cannot receive grace The resurrection imagery in The Shawshank Redemption The gospel of love-before-worthiness in Beauty and the Beast The performance-based identity and grace-restoration arc in Encanto What Pascal, Viktor Frankl, and Augustine contribute to the question of the rejected longing What is different about the life of the person who has received the True Story An invitation to pay attention to the ache — and follow the thread home People and Works Referenced C.S. Lewis — The Weight of Glory, Mere Christianity, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, An Experiment in Criticism J.R.R. Tolkien — The Lord of the Rings, On Fairy Stories Victor Hugo — Les Misérables Blaise Pascal — Pensées Viktor Frankl — Man's Search for Meaning Augustine of Hippo — Confessions Carl Jung — Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious Scripture Referenced Ecclesiastes 3:11 — "He has set eternity in the human heart." Romans 5:8 — "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." John 1:5 — "The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it." Romans 8:22 — "The whole creation has been groaning." Revelation 21:5 — "Behold, I am making all things new." Key Takeaway The stories that move us most are not accidental. They carry the frequency of the True Story — the gospel of sacrifice, grace, resurrection, and love-before-worthiness that God has been telling since before time began. The ache they produce is not sentiment. It is the eternity in your heart recognizing where it belongs. Pay attention to it. Follow the thread. It points home.   I hope this episode blesses you!

Do friction, struggle, and silence make you fully human?   AI can generate an answer, but it cannot suffer with you, worship, love a neighbor, or become wise. Host Curtis Chang and Andy Crouch, the partner for theology and culture at Praxis, explore how AI may weaken our minds, distort relationships, and tempt us to outsource the very experiences that form wisdom, wonder, and sacrificial love. From chatbot "companionship" and AI-assisted grief to medicine, spiritual counsel, and the loss of silence, Curtis and Andy ask whether convenience is quietly creating a kind of cognitive metabolic syndrome and what we can do about it.   00:01:22 - Introduction to AI's Impact on Our Minds. 00:04:35 - Lessons from Social Media's Evolution 00:08:26 - Cognitive Metabolic Syndrome 00:18:45 - What Is the Purpose of the Human Mind? 00:25:23 - Wonder vs. Power 00:26:49 - Love Requires Suffering and Friction 00:34:38 - The Limits of AI in Healthcare 00:40:53 - The Danger of Outsourcing Life's Hardships 00:51:23 - The Loss of Silence 00:58:11 - The AI Forced Conversation on Being Human 01:01:03 - Practical Ways to Protect Our Humanity   To give to Good Faith: https://goodfaith.org/donate   Mentioned in This Episode: Andrew Briggs and Roger Wagner's The Penultimate Curiosity: How Science Swims in the Slipstream of Ultimate Questions Thomas Fuchs' In Defence of the Human Being  Victor Hugo's Les Misérables Tristan Harris on How AI Worsens Ills Caused by Social Media (The Economist) Explore the work of The Future of Life Institute Emma Pearson's I'd Rather Risk Cancer Than See AI Move This Fast (The Atlantic)   Scriptures: Mark 12:30–31 (ESV) Matthew 22:37–39 (ESV) Deuteronomy 6:5 (ESV) Luke 10:27 (ESV)   More From Andy Crouch: Check out Andy's website Check out Andy's work at Praxis Read Andy's book: The Life We're Looking For Read Andy's book The Tech-Wise Family: Everyday Steps for Putting Technology in Its Proper Place    Follow Us: Good Faith on Instagram Good Faith on X (formerly Twitter) Good Faith on Facebook   The Good Faith Podcast is a production of a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan organization that does not engage in any political campaign activity to support or oppose any candidate for public office.

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo单词提示1.Monsieur 先生2.Inspector 探长原文Chapter 2: FantineNow we meet Fantine.She is young and beautiful and in love with a man in Paris, but she has no family and no money.For Fantine, this is the love of her life.For the man in Paris, it is just a summer of love.Men are not kind to women, they have their fun and then they walk away.The man in Paris goes home to his rich family and leaves poor Fantine, and with a child, a little girl called Cosette.Fantine must find work, but how?Fantine has a child but no husband, and a woman without a husband is nothing, worse than nothing.People are not kind to a woman with a child but no husband.They turn their faces away, they close their doors, they say there's no work here for a woman like you.Fantine loves her daughter dearly, but what can she do?So in 1818, in a village near Paris, she leaves her little daughter with Monsieur and Madame Thenardier.They ask for 7 francs a month.Fantine pays the money, holds her daughter in her arms for the last time, and leaves.She takes the road for her home town of Montroy,and tears are running down her face.There is misery in her heart. Poor Fantine, poor Cosette.In Montroy, Fantinefinds work in a factory.This is the factory of Monsieur Madeleine, an important man in the town and very rich.Everybody likes him, because he is a good man.He is kind to his workers, he helps people,and his factory gives many jobs to the townspeople.But who is he, this Monsieur Madeleine?Where did he come from?He arrived in Montroy at the end of 1815,but nobody knows his family or anything about him.Fantine sent money every month to the Thenardiers.They were not good people, and they used the money for their own daughters.Poor little Cosette was a hungry, dirty,unloved child.She worked all day, she cleaned the house,she carried water, she washed the clothes.But Fantine knew nothing of this, and she worked long hours to make money for Cosette.The next year, the Thenardiers asked for 12 francs a month.The year after that, they wanted 15 francs.Then Fantine lost her job at the factory because the women did not like her. “She has achild in a village somewhere near Paris.”“Yes, and where's her husband.”“She doesn't have one.”“We don't want that kind of woman here. She must go.”Fantine found work making shirts.It was hard work for little money.She was often ill with a small dry cough.The Thenardiers wrote again, “Your daughter needs a warm dress for winter, send 10 francs at once.”Fantine did not have 10 francs.She thought long and hard, and went to the barber in the town.She took off her hat, and her golden hair fell down her back.“That's beautiful hair,” said the barber.“What can you give me for it?”“10 francs.”“Then cut it off.”She sent the money to the Thenardiers.“My daughter's not cold now,” she thought, “She'swearing my hair.”Soon, another letter came from the Thenardiers,“Send 100 francs, or Cosette must leave our house.”100 francs? How can a poor woman get that kind of money? There was only one way.One cold winter evening, outside a restaurant in the center of Montroy, a woman walked up and down.There was snow on the ground, but the woman wore an evening dress with flowers in her hair.Some young men came out of the restaurant,saw her, and began to call her bad names.They laughed and shouted, but the woman did not look at them.Then one young then took some snow and put it down the back of the woman's dress.The woman was Fantine.She gave a cry, turned, and hit the young man's face with her hands.People came to watch, laughing.A tall policeman arrived, took the woman by the arm and pulled her away.“Come with me,” he said.This policeman was Inspector Javert.He was new to Montroy, and he was a hard man.To him, the law was the only important thing in life.He hated criminals.The law in France at that time was not kind to women like Fantine.Javert took Fantine to the office of police.“You hit a man in the street and that's a crime,” He told her, “You're getting six months.”“Six months in prison?” Fantine cried, “no,I'm not a bad woman, monsieur, please, I must work. I need the money for my little daughter. Please, please don't send me to prison.”She fell to the floor crying.“Take her away,” Javert said to a policeman.“One moment, please,” said a new voice.Everybody turned to look at the door, and there stood the good, the great Monsieur Madeleine.He was an important man in Montroy.“Inspector,” he said, “I was outside the restaurant, too. And I can tell you the true story.”“The young man began the fight, and this poor woman,” he looked at Fantine on the floor, “must go free. She did nothing wrong.”“The woman is a criminal,” said Javert angrily.“She must go free,” said Monsieur Madeleine,“Ask the other people at the restaurant. We all saw the same thing.”Fontain stood up slowly, she began to cough,a hard dry noise.Monsieur Madeleine took her arm gently.“My dear child, you are not well,” he said.Javert's cold eyes stared at Monsieur Madeleine.“Do I know you from somewhere?” he said, “Were you ever at Toulon?”Monsieur Madeleine looked at him.His face did not change, but his eyes were suddenly very watchful.“No, I don't know Toulon.” he said.Monsieur Madeleine took Fantine to the little hospital in Montroy.She lay in bed and coughed and coughed.Monsieur Madeleine listened to her sad story, and the next day he sent money to the Thenardiers.“Now you must get better,” he told Fantine, “Cosette needs you.”But Fantine did not get better.She was now very ill, and five days later the doctor spoke to Monsieur Madeleine.“Does she have a child, this poor woman?”He said, “Yes, a small daughter.”“You must bring the child here soon.”Monsieur Madeleine went to sit by Fountain's bed.“Monsieur madeleine, you are so kind to me. I want to see my daughter one last time.Please, can you? Bring Cosette to me, please, monsieur.”Monsieur Madeleine took her hand.“Of course, I can,” he said gently.And then, the door of the room suddenly opened behind him, and Fantine cried out “No, monsieur.”Madeleine looked round quickly.InspectorJavert came into the room with four policemen.“Jean Valjean, prisoner at Toulon, I am arresting you,” Javert said, “After you left the prison, you stole money from a child in Toulon. You are still a thief, and now you must go to prison for life.”Fantine sat up in bed.“No,” she cried, “Cosette!”Monsieur Madeleine stood up slowly.“Inspector, give me three days.” He said.He was a big man, much bigger than Javert.“Three days to bring this poor woman's child to her before she dies, then you can take me.”Javert laughed loudly, “Three days, you're going to run away?”Behind the two men, Fantine cried out, “Monsieur Madeleine, please take care of Cosette. Please.”Javert turn to her, “Be quiet, woman,there's no Monsieur Madeleine here. This man is a criminal called Jean Valjean,and he's going to prison.”Fantine stared at Javert and tried to speak,but she could not.She fell back in the bed and lay still. She was dead.The people of Montroy talked about that day for a long time, the death of the woman Fantine,the arrest of Monsieur Madeleine.Javert put Monsieur Madeleine in a locked room in the police office, but in the night, he broke down the door and escaped.Where did he go? Did he go to his house in the town?His old servant said “no”, she saw nobody and heard nothing.She said she loved Monsieur Madeleine very much.So where did Monsieur Madeleine go?Nobody in Montroy saw him again.One thing was certain.In Monsieur Madeleine's house, there were two beautiful old silver candlesticks.The next day they were gone.翻译第二章：芳汀现在，我们来认识芳汀。她年轻貌美，在巴黎与一个男人坠入爱河，但她没有家人，也没有钱。对芳汀来说，这是她一生的挚爱；但对那个巴黎男人而言，这不过是一场夏日恋情罢了。男人们对待女人并不仁慈，他们寻欢作乐之后，便一走了之。那个巴黎男人回到了他富有的家族，留下了可怜的芳汀，以及他们的孩子——一个名叫珂赛特的小女孩。芳汀必须找到工作，可她能怎么办呢？芳汀有个孩子却没有丈夫，而在那个时代，没有丈夫的女人什么都不是，甚至比什么都不是还要不堪。人们对带着孩子却没有丈夫的女人毫不留情。他们对她冷眼相待，对她紧闭大门，还会说：“像你这样的女人，我们这儿没有工作。”芳汀深爱着她的女儿，可她又能做些什么呢？于是，在1818年，在巴黎附近的一个村庄里，她把小女儿托付给了德纳第夫妇。他们要求每个月付7法郎。芳汀付了钱，最后一次将女儿紧紧抱在怀里，然后转身离开。她踏上了返回故乡蒙特勒伊的路，泪水顺着脸颊不断滑落。她的心中充满了无尽的苦难。可怜的芳汀，可怜的珂赛特。在蒙特勒伊，芳汀在一家工厂找到了工作。这家工厂的老板是马德兰先生，他是镇上的大人物，非常富有。大家都很喜欢他，因为他是个大好人。他对工人们很仁慈，乐于助人，而且他的工厂为镇上的许多人提供了工作。可是，这位马德兰先生究竟是谁？他又从何而来？他是在1815年底来到蒙特勒伊的，但没有人知道他的身世，对他一无所知。芳汀每个月都会按时寄钱给德纳第夫妇。可他们并非善类，竟把芳汀寄来的钱全用在了自己亲生女儿的身上。可怜的小珂赛特成了一个挨饿、肮脏、无人疼爱的孩子。她整天干活，打扫屋子，提水，洗衣服。但芳汀对此一无所知，她只能拼命工作，为珂赛特多挣些钱。第二年，德纳第夫妇要求每月寄12法郎。再往后一年，他们又要15法郎。后来，芳汀失去了工厂的工作，因为厂里的女工们不喜欢她。“她有个孩子，寄养在巴黎附近的某个村子里。”“是啊，可她丈夫在哪儿呢？”“她没有丈夫。”“我们这儿不想要那种女人。她必须走人。”芳汀只好靠做衬衫来谋生。活儿很累，挣的钱却很少。她经常生病，总是干咳不止。德纳第夫妇又写信来：“你女儿冬天需要一件暖和的裙子，马上寄10法郎来。”芳汀拿不出10法郎。她思前想后，最终走进了镇上的理发店。她摘下帽子，一头金发垂落在背上。“多漂亮的头发啊，”理发师说。“这头发你能给我多少钱？”“10法郎。”“那就剪了吧。”她把换来的钱寄给了德纳第夫妇。“我的女儿现在不会挨冻了，”她想，“她穿着我的头发呢。”没过多久，德纳第夫妇又来信了：“寄100法郎来，不然珂赛特就得滚出我们家。”100法郎？一个穷苦女人上哪儿去弄这么一大笔钱？只剩下最后一条路了。在一个寒冷的冬夜，蒙特勒伊市中心的一家餐馆外，一个女人正来回踱步。地上满是积雪，可她却穿着晚礼服，头上还戴着花。几个年轻男人从餐馆里走出来，看见她，便开始用下流的话辱骂她。他们又笑又叫，但那个女人连看都没看他们一眼。接着，其中一个年轻男人抓起一把雪，顺着那个女人的衣领塞进了她的后背。那个女人正是芳汀。她惊叫一声，转过身，一巴掌狠狠打在那个年轻男人的脸上。人们围过来看热闹，哈哈大笑。这时，一个高大的警察走了过来，一把抓住女人的胳膊，将她拉开。“跟我走。”他说。这个警察是沙威警长。他刚到蒙特勒伊不久，是个冷酷无情的人。在他看来，法律是生命中唯一重要的东西。他痛恨罪犯。而当时法国的法律，对芳汀这样的女人是毫不留情的。沙威把芳汀带到了警察局。“你在大街上打了一个男人，这是犯罪，”他告诉她，“你要被判六个月的监禁。”“六个月？”芳汀哭喊道，“不，我不是坏女人，先生，求求您，我必须工作。我需要钱养活我的小女儿。求求您，千万别把我送进监狱。”她倒在地上痛哭起来。“把她带走。”沙威对另一名警察说。“请等一下。”一个陌生的声音响起。所有人都转头看向门口，只见那位善良、伟大的马德兰先生正站在那里。他是蒙特勒伊的显要人物。“警长，”他说，“我当时也在餐馆外面。我可以告诉你事情的真相。”“是那个年轻人先挑起事端的，而这个可怜的女人，”他看了一眼倒在地上的芳汀，“必须被释放。她没有任何过错。”“这个女人是个罪犯！”沙威愤怒地说。“她必须被释放，”马德兰先生说，“去问问餐馆里的其他人吧。我们大家看到的都是一样的。”芳汀慢慢站起身，开始剧烈地咳嗽，发出沉闷干涩的声音。马德兰先生温柔地扶住她的胳膊。“我可怜的孩子，你身体不好。”他说。沙威冰冷的双眼死死盯着马德兰先生。“我是不是在哪儿见过你？”他说，“你以前去过土伦吗？”马德兰先生看着他。他的面庞毫无波澜，但眼神突然变得极度警觉。“不，我不知道什么土伦。”他说。马德兰先生把芳汀送到了蒙特勒伊的小医院。她躺在床上，不停地咳嗽。马德兰先生听完了她悲惨的身世，第二天便派人把钱寄给了德纳第夫妇。“现在你必须好起来，”他告诉芳汀，“珂赛特需要你。”但芳汀并没有好转。她的病情已经非常严重了，五天后，医生对马德兰先生说：“这个可怜的女人有孩子吗？”“有，一个小女儿。”“你必须尽快把孩子接来。”马德兰先生走到芳汀的床边坐下。“马德兰先生，您对我太好了。我想再看一眼我的女儿。求求您，您能办到吗？把珂赛特带到我身边来吧，先生。”马德兰先生握住她的手。“我当然能办到。”他温和地说。就在这时，身后的房门突然被猛地推开，芳汀惊叫一声：“不，先生！”马德兰先生迅速回过头。沙威警长带着四名警察走进了房间。“冉阿让，土伦的囚犯，我现在逮捕你，”沙威说，“你出狱后，在土伦偷了一个孩子的钱。你依然是个贼，现在你必须被判终身监禁。”芳汀在床上猛地坐直身子。“不！”她哭喊道，“珂赛特！”马德兰先生缓缓站起身。“警长，给我三天时间。”他说。他是个大块头，比沙威高大得多。“给我三天时间，让我把这个可怜女人的孩子带到她面前，等她见上最后一面，你再抓我。”沙威放声大笑：“三天？你是打算趁机逃跑吗？”在两个男人身后，芳汀哭喊道：“马德兰先生，求您照顾珂赛特。求求您了。”沙威转过头对她吼道：“闭嘴，女人！这里没有什么马德兰先生。这个人是个叫冉阿让的罪犯，他马上就要进监狱了。”芳汀死死盯着沙威，试图开口说话，却发不出一点声音。她重重地倒回床上，再也没有动弹。她死了。蒙特勒伊的人们谈论那一天谈了很久很久，谈论着芳汀的死，以及马德兰先生被捕的事。沙威把马德兰先生关在警察局的一间密室里，但在夜里，他撞破房门逃跑了。他去了哪里？他回镇上的家了吗？他的老女仆说“没有”，她什么也没看见，什么也没听见。她说她非常敬爱马德兰先生。那么，马德兰先生到底去了哪里？蒙特勒伊再也没有人见过他。但有一件事是肯定的。在马德兰先生的家里，原本放着两只漂亮的老银烛台。第二天，它们就不见了。

Can people really change? Or do we simply become more of who we've always been? In this episode of Wisdom of the Body, Heather Grzych explores this timeless question through Victor Hugo's Les Misérables and the transformation of Jean Valjean, a man whose life is changed by an unexpected act of mercy. Drawing from Christianity, Greek mythology, and Ayurveda, Heather explores the forces that shape who we become—from grace and choice to our environments, habits, and experiences. She reflects on why some people are able to transform while others remain trapped in old patterns, and why lasting change requires not just different actions, but a different relationship with who we believe we can become.   Heather Grzych, ADLC is an American author and teacher of Ayurvedic medicine who was formerly the president of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association and the head of product development for a multi-billion-dollar health insurance company. Heather's first book, The Ayurvedic Guide to Fertility, has sold thousands of copies worldwide, and her writing has been featured in Sports Illustrated, Yoga Journal, and the Sunday Independent. Her podcast, Wisdom of the Body, holds an average rating of 5 stars on Apple Podcasts and is in the top 2.5% of podcasts globally.    Connect with Heather:  Learn more at www.heathergrzych.com  Instagram.com/heathergrzych  Facebook.com/grzychheather    Read the first six pages of The Ayurvedic Guide to Fertility for FREE: https://www.heathergrzych.com    Connect with Heather to balance your health with Ayurveda: https://www.heathergrzych.com/book-online

Spencer Inch is one of those musicians who makes you realize how wide this career can actually be. We talked about his path from Wilton, Connecticut to the national touring circuit, and I kept thinking: this is exactly what Broadway Bound and Beyond is about.Here's what we got into:* Spencer started on drums at age six when his parents bought him a CB700 from a neighbor — he still talks about that kit like it was a Stradivarius* He studied classical percussion at Penn State, then pivoted to jazz drum set at the University of Miami's Frost School — going from big fish to small pond overnight, and what he did about it* He did multiple contracts on cruise ships right out of grad school, playing everything from waltzes to Glenn Miller to German polka with no internet and no time to prepare — and why he says he learned more there than in six years of school* He toured the country opening for the Counting Crows with singer-songwriter Seán Barna — playing to amphitheater crowds of 3,000 to 7,000 people, and the moment the Counting Crows' drummer handed him the sticks to close out a show* He spent a year and a half on the Come From Away national tour playing bodhran — on stage, in the action, 467 shows — after saying yes to an instrument he'd never played before* He's now on the Water for Elephants national tour, a gig that came directly through the music director he built a relationship with on Come From AwayThe throughline in Spencer's story isn't talent. It's relationships, saying yes, and taking every single gig seriously — no matter what it is. The polka gig. The Les Mis at a children's theater. All of it.Watch the full episode above!Clayton Craddock is the drummer for Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre.

Spencer Inch is one of the busiest drummers in the tri-state area and has been doing it the right way for a long time. He's currently on the Water for Elephants national tour, and how he got there is a masterclass in how this business actually works.What we covered:* How his drum teacher in Norwalk, Connecticut — a musical theater pit musician himself — shaped everything about the way Spencer approaches charts, styles, and preparation* Going from a classical undergrad at Penn State to a jazz grad program at UM Frost and feeling completely out of his league — and why that was the best thing that ever happened to him* What cruise ships actually teach you that school never will: making people dance, reading a room, and playing polka music with no internet and no prep time* How his first connection into the New York theater world came from a drummer he barely knew who shared a rehearsal space in Williamsburg — that drummer went on to play with Billie Eilish* The real reality of life on a rock tour — the routine of it, the grind of load-in and load-out, and why it felt more like going to work than living a dreamThe advice he got on a cruise ship about playing polkas at the Blue Note — and why Wynton Marsalis walking in the door shouldn't change anything about how you play.The throughline in Spencer's story isn't talent. It's relationships, saying yes, and taking every single gig seriously — no matter what it is. The polka gig. The Les Mis at a children's theater. All of it.

Clay welcomes Sandra Murray to talk about her 40-year career behind the scenes of major Hollywood film productions. Sandra has worked on over 250 films, including Titanic, King Kong, Les Misérables, and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, most often creating the "Making of the Movie" features that accompany distribution. She has worked with some of the major filmmakers of the last half-century, including her friend Clint Eastwood. The American film industry is undergoing a revolutionary set of changes, not all of them, in her opinion, good. Movie theaters are increasingly empty. Streaming is king. Artificial Intelligence and CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) are transforming special effects. Independent films are easier and less expensive to make, but much harder to distribute. So many films are produced across so many platforms that there is no longer a common body of movies most Americans have seen. Nobody is quite sure where the film industry is headed, but Sandra Murray shares her insights. This episode was recorded on April 10, 2026.
