L'émission 28 minutes du 16/10/2025 70 bis, entrée des artistes : une plongée au cœur du quartier MontparnasseMais que se cache-t-il derrière l'entrée du 70 bis rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs, à Paris, quand on franchit le portail vert ? Alors que rien ne distingue ce numéro des autres dans cette rue en plein quartier Montparnasse, Christian Mazzalai, guitariste du groupe Phoenix, et Patrick Modiano, écrivain, font revivre ce lieu de passage célèbre dans “70 bis, entrée des artistes” (éditions Gallimard). L'adresse a vu défiler des artistes comme Picasso ou Apollinaire. Ainsi reprennent vie, sous la plume du prix Nobel de littérature, des Américaines venues apprendre la peinture à Paris qui devaient avoir des autorisations spéciales pour suivre des cours interdits aux femmes et s'habiller en homme pour y assister, mais aussi des couples mixtes qui venaient vivre à Paris un amour interdit aux États-Unis. D'autres personnages font leur apparition dans ces pages comme Camille Claudel ou Robert Louis Stevenson. Nous recevons les deux artistes qui nous content ce lieu empli d'histoire. Les retraités, grands perdants du budget 2026 ?Après l'annonce par Sébastien Lecornu de la suspension de la réforme des retraites, la perspective d'une censure immédiate s'éloigne. Les motions de censure déposées par La France insoumise et le Rassemblement national ont toutes deux été rejetées aujourd'hui. L'heure est maintenant à la discussion sur le budget de l'État et celui de la sécurité sociale. Les députés vont devoir l'étudier en commission avant d'en débattre dans l'hémicycle. Quelques pistes donnent déjà le ton. 30 milliards d'économies doivent être trouvées en augmentant les recettes de 14 milliards et en baissant les dépenses de 17 milliards. Concernant le budget de la Sécurité sociale, le gouvernement souhaite ramener le déficit des régimes obligatoires de base à 17,4 milliards d'euros en 2026, contre 23 milliards cette année. Les retraités doivent participer “au rétablissement de l'équilibre des comptes publics, dans un contexte où la réforme des retraites de 2023 a fait peser l'ensemble des efforts sur les seuls actifs”, peut-on lire dans le projet de loi de financement de la Sécurité sociale, présenté en Conseil des ministres. Il prévoit notamment de geler l'ensemble des retraites de base en 2026. À partir de 2027, les pensions devraient être sous-indexées par rapport à l'inflation de 0,4 point. La mesure fiscale la plus emblématique est le remplacement de l'abattement forfaitaire de 10 % par un forfait de 2 000 euros. Alors, les retraités, et lesquels, sont-ils vraiment les plus ciblés pour faire des efforts dans le budget 2026 et dans le budget de la sécurité sociale ? On en débat Gaëlle Macke, directrice déléguée de la rédaction chez "Challenges", Erwann Tison, économiste, chargé d'enseignement à l'université de Strasbourg et Agathe Le Berder, secrétaire générale adjointe de la CGT Ingé Cadre Tech.Enfin, Xavier Mauduit se penche sur les médias américains qui refusent de céder aux restrictions du Pentagone qui souhaite contrôler, au préalable, les informations diffusées par les journalistes accrédités. Marie Bonnisseau s'intéresse à un projet de thalasso de luxe à Saint-Malo qui suscite l'opposition des riverains et d'associations écologistes, qui pourraient avoir gain de cause grâce à des… hirondelles. 28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

In The Portrait of a Lady, Henry James borrows from Eliot, Austen, folktales and potboilers, but ‘the thing that he took from nowhere was Isabel Archer'. James transformed the 19th-century novel through his evocation of Isabel, a woman who wants and suffers in a profoundly new (and American) way. Deborah Friedell and Colm Toíbín join Tom to discuss the novel that established Henry James as ‘the Master'. They dissect James's and his characters' complicated motivations, the significance of his 1905-6 revisions, and the ways in which a ‘primitive plot' irrupts in a painstakingly subtle and stylish novel.

Foundations of Amateur Radio The pursuit of amateur radio is a glorious thing. On the face of it you're forgiven if you think of it as a purely technical endeavour. Far be it for me to dissuade you from that notion, but permit me to expand into other areas that rarely get a mention when we discuss this amazing hobby. It's the place where you go to communicate with other people, who live a different life, doing the things that they enjoy. It's also the place for finding an excuse to go outside and set-up your station on the side of a mountain, or a park, a museum or a lighthouse. Then there's the joy of finding new friends who introduce you to other aspects of life, super computing, the medical field, tow truck driving, radio astronomy and electronics, to name a few. While I was the first person in my school to save up their summer job earnings to buy their own computer, a Commodore VIC-20, I never did come across this. "It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue." is a phrase that might mean something to you, or not. To set the stage, it's the 1960's, you're a science fiction author and you need a ravenous predator. With origins in Danish and Norwegian, "grue", from gruesome, seemed to fit the bill for Jack Vance while was writing his Dying Earth series, mind you, Robert Louis Stevenson used it in 1916 in a short story called "The Waif Woman", writing "and a grue took hold upon her flesh", which is more gruesome than predator. Flash forward to 1977, you're writing an adventure game for a PDP-10 mainframe computer whilst, let's call it studying, at MIT, and you need a way to stop people wandering off the map, and so the text adventure game "Zork" got its famous phrase. I'm mentioning this because I wondered if anyone had used their love for Zork as an excuse to set-up a server on HF radio that you could play with. I'll confess that I spent way too many hours looking at this and it appears that you can use the software "direwolf" as a way to get packet radio to work across amateur radio without needing anything more than a radio and a computer with a sound-card. There's even an article by Rick Osgood titled: "How to Setup a Raspberry Pi Packet Radio Node with Zork", though I will mention that it relies on hardware to connect to a radio, rather than use "direwolf". There's a few moving parts, but it looks like this is totally doable, there's already Docker containers for both Zork and direwolf, even a container called "packet-zork", and a multi-user version called "MultiZork", so how hard can it be? I jest. As an aside, because I'm a geek and I can, there's a common misconception that a Docker container is equivalent to a virtual machine. For lots of reasons, that's not true. A better way is to think of it as a security wrapper around an untrusted application. Speaking of untrusted, while we're all essentially bipedal lifeforms with a similar set of attributes, on a daily basis we seem to discover more and more reasons to find fault or demonise differences. Contrast this within the global community of radio amateurs, where we have this "weird" activity that we all seem to share. I think that the most under-reported, perhaps even undervalued aspect of our hobby is that it's an excuse to talk to someone else. It's like a force of attraction, the glue, the one starting point that you know another amateur has in common with you. So, next time you venture outside, either in real life, or virtually, consider, at least for a moment, that there are other radio amateurs among us, also having fun. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

The Moon by Robert Louis Stevenson     Read by Richard Scott THE MOON has a face like the clock in the hall;   She shines on thieves on the garden wall,   On streets and fields and harbour quays,   And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees.      The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse,     The howling dog by the door of the house,   The bat that lies in bed at noon,   All love to be out by the light of the moon.      But all of the things that belong to the day   Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way;   And flowers and children close their eyes   Till up in the morning the sun shall arise.       And that was the moon, by Robert Louis Stevenson. I hoped you enjoyed that poem which conjures up the night time in some very visual verses.

It featured some campus sports reports, some horrible amateur poetry, and even some jokes.

She was flawless. A model of grace and stillness, prized by every artist who worked with her. But beneath the surface of the painter's studio—amid the heat, the charcoal dust, and the careful posing—something else lingered. “Rose Rose” by Barry Pain was first published in Stories in Grey (T. Werner Laurie, 1911). It is now in the public domain. Barry Eric Odell Pain (1864–1928) was a British humorist and writer of uncanny fiction. H.P. Lovecraft cited him as an influence, and Robert Louis Stevenson compared him to Maupassant.

Welcome to Episode 238 which features an Author Spotlight with the wonderfully creepy Clare Beams! To clarify: it's her work that's creepy, in a good way. As you'll hear in the interview, Clare is lovely, smart, feminist, and fun. We both enjoyed her latest book, THE GARDEN, which is part historical fiction, part ghost story, and part pregnancy horror story all wrapped up in a novel about a woman who finds herself in a place she never imagined with results that . . . well, you'll have to read it yourself to find out. We also talk about what we're currently reading. Chris is enjoying a re-read of SUMMER ON THE LAKES, IN 1843 by Margaret Fuller and Emily is relishing BUCKEYE by Patrick Ryan (pubs on 9/2) Those of you who've been reading along with us in the PENGUIN BOOK OF GHOST STORIES: From Elizabeth Gaskell to Ambrose Bierce will be happy to hear we did our homework. We discuss two stories from the collection: “Thrawn Janet” by Robert Louis Stevenson and “The Open Door” by Margaret Oliphant. In #BiblioAdventures, Emily recaps recent writing workshops she has attended, one with Shuly Cawood and the other with Betsy Lerner. Chris watched the 1997 mini-series adaptation of Stephen King's 1979 novel, THE SHINING, which she compares to the 1980 movie adaptation. Spoiler alert: the novel is best. As always, there's more bookish goodness in the episode than we mention here. We hope you enjoy it and wish you lots of Happy Reading! https://www.bookcougars.com/blog-1/2025/episode238

With special guest Longinus, the boys review a shandy from Founders, then continue their "shortcut to the classics" series with a review of Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" -- a haunting 1886 novella that ripped the mask off Victorian respectability and exposed the brutal split within human nature.Set in the same foggy, gaslit London as Sherlock Holmes, this story of duality, repression, and moral despair hit like a thunderclap on both sides of the Atlantic. But it's more than just a gothic thriller — it's a mirror held up to human nature and society itself.We explore:* The origins of the story and why Stevenson rewrote it from scratch after his wife's critique* The moral message: man is not one but two — and there may be no salvation for either* The symbolism of Jekyll's divided house, the hidden back door, and the cultured facade over inner rot* The novella's critique of Victorian England, where public virtue masks private vice* Interpretive lenses: from Romans 7 and Christian theology to Jung's shadow, Freud's psychoanalysis, and even Star Trek* Why Hyde isn't some external monster, but a part of you — and why that makes the story more disturbing* The tragedy of Jekyll: not that he loses control, but that he wants toWe also ask whether Stevenson's bleak vision of human nature holds up — and contrast it with the biblical vision of a unified, redeemable self.If you've ever wrestled with the dark side of human nature — or just want to understand why this little book still packs a punch — this episode is for you.

Full Text of ReadingsSaturday of the Third Week of Easter Lectionary: 278The Saint of the day is Saint Damien de Veuster of MolokaiSaint Damien de Veuster of Moloka'i's Story When Joseph de Veuster was born in Tremelo, Belgium, in 1840, few people in Europe had any firsthand knowledge of leprosy, Hansen's disease. By the time he died at the age of 49, people all over the world knew about this disease because of him. They knew that human compassion could soften the ravages of this disease. Forced to quit school at age 13 to work on the family farm, Joseph entered the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary six years later, taking the name of a fourth-century physician and martyr. When his brother Pamphile, a priest in the same congregation, fell ill and was unable to go to the Hawaiian Islands as assigned, Damien quickly volunteered in his place. In May 1864, two months after arriving in his new mission, Damien was ordained a priest in Honolulu and assigned to the island of Hawaii. In 1873, he went to the Hawaiian government's leper colony on the island of Moloka'i, set up seven years earlier. Part of a team of four chaplains taking that assignment for three months each year, Damien soon volunteered to remain permanently, caring for the people's physical, medical, and spiritual needs. In time, he became their most effective advocate to obtain promised government support. Soon the settlement had new houses and a new church, school and orphanage. Morale improved considerably. A few years later, he succeeded in getting the Franciscan Sisters of Syracuse, led by Mother Marianne Cope, to help staff this colony in Kalaupapa. Damien contracted Hansen's disease and died of its complications. As requested, he was buried in Kalaupapa, but in 1936 the Belgian government succeeded in having his body moved to Belgium. Part of Damien's body was returned to his beloved Hawaiian brothers and sisters after his beatification in 1995. When Hawaii became a state in 1959, it selected Damien as one of its two representatives in the Statuary Hall at the US Capitol. Damien was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on October 11, 2009. Reflection Some people thought Damien was a hero for going to Moloka'i and others thought he was crazy. When a Protestant clergyman wrote that Damien was guilty of immoral behavior, Robert Louis Stevenson vigorously defended him in an “Open Letter to Dr. Hyde.” Love the saints?

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 27, 2025 is: archetype • AHR-kih-type • noun Archetype refers to someone or something that is seen to be a perfect example. It is also a word for the original pattern or model of which all things of the same type are representations or copies. // The college's most popular philosophy professor is the archetype of the preoccupied academic, complete with the messy desk, disheveled hair, and brilliant theories. // The film is considered a sci-fi archetype for its pioneering use of special effects and prosthetics to depict an alien world. See the entry > Examples: “One of the most notable features of folktales, fairy tales, myths, and legends are their simplicity. These stories, many of them passed down to us across generations, are compelling because of the recognizable archetypes they incorporate (the evil stepmother, the dutiful daughter, the greedy king, etc.), their straightforward moral arcs, and their use of magic and transformation as catalysts for the plot.” — Gina Chung, LitHub.com, 13 Mar. 2024 Did you know? In her 2024 book Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World, author Naomi Klein writes that “the doppelganger archetype has appeared across time to explore issues of life and death, the body versus the soul, the ego versus the id …” Klein doesn't mean that the same double, evil twin, or changeling keeps popping up throughout history, of course, but that the original concept of a doppelganger has served as a pattern, model, or template for writers to use in different ways, each supplying it with their own imagined details. Archetype's origins are in two Greek words: the verb archein, meaning “to begin,” and the noun typos, meaning “type.” Since its debut in English in the mid-1500s, archetype has taken on uses specific to the ideas of Plato, John Locke, and Carl Jung, but in everyday prose, archetype is most commonly used to mean “a perfect example,” as in “Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is considered an archetype of doppelganger fiction.”
