Un couteau, bien plus qu'un simple outil
Les têtes d'affiche de Denise Epoté de TV5 Monde, comme chaque dimanche sur RFI, avec Nicolas Brousse. Sur la manchette cette semaine, deux innovateurs de la République démocratique du Congo (RDC) : Marc Nswal, créateur de Mobongo, une application destinée à l'innovation au service du commerce informel. Puis, sur la seconde marche, Patrick Kabangiro de PKT Partners, qui offre des solutions écologiques comme alternative à la déforestation. ►Transformer les paiements en RDC : un bond vers un avenir numérique
Aujourd'hui, revenons sur un sujet qui a passionné les lecteurs cette année. Il s'agit des super-pouvoirs cachés du port USB de votre téléviseur. C'est le genre d'astuce idéale en cette période de réunions familiales.Et ce que ce soit pour épater vos proches lors du réveillon ou pour dépanner une installation multimédia bancale chez vos parents.Savoir exploiter cette connectique souvent oubliée pourrait donc bien faire de vous le héros des fêtes.Nous avons oublié l'arrière du châssis !Commençons par un constat simple. Une fois nos "Smart TV" installées au mur ou sur un meuble, nous n'interagissons presque jamais physiquement avec elles. Entre le Wi-Fi, le Bluetooth et les applications intégrées, nous en avons oublié l'arrière du châssis.Pourtant, juste à côté des prises HDMI, se trouve presque systématiquement un, voire plusieurs ports USB 2.0 ou 3.0. Ces ports sont obligatoires sur la plupart des modèles récents. Mais ils restent souvent inexploités, prenant la poussière alors qu'ils offrent une polyvalence redoutable.Analysons concrètement ce que ces ports permettent de faire.La transformation de votre TV en cadre photo géant ou en lecteur multimédia autonomeLe premier usage, et c'est celui qui servira le plus pendant les fêtes, c'est la transformation de votre TV en cadre photo géant ou en lecteur multimédia autonome.Pourquoi est-ce pertinent ? Parce que lire vos fichiers directement depuis une clé USB est bien plus sain pour votre téléviseur que de les transférer.En lisant les données depuis la clé, vous évitez d'encombrer la mémoire cache ou le stockage interne de l'appareil, garantissant ainsi une meilleure fluidité.Transformer cet écran géant en station de travailParlons chiffres pour illustrer un second usage, cette fois ci plus professionnel.La taille standard d'un écran pour un créatif est souvent de 27 pouces. Or, votre téléviseur de salon fait probablement 55 pouces, voire 65 pouces.En connectant un clavier et une souris via un adaptateur sans fil sur le port USB de la télé, vous transformez cet écran géant en station de travail.Certes, la colorimétrie n'est pas celle d'un moniteur pro. Mais pour le multitâche et l'affichage de multiples fenêtres, le gain d'espace est incomparable sans avoir à investir dans du matériel coûteux.Et en cas d'urgence absolue ? Si toutes les prises du salon sont occupées par les guirlandes électriques, sachez que ce port USB peut recharger votre smartphone ou une manette de jeu. C'est un processus lent, car l'ampérage est faible et conçu pour le transfert de données. Mais cela peut vous sauver la mise en cas de batterie vide.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast ! Abonnez-vous !Hébergé par Ausha.

Dans cet épisode solo, j'analyse le parcours de Ludovic du Plessis et Champagne Telmont, une maison centenaire reprise avec une promesse aussi simple que radicale : faire le meilleur champagne possible, sans compromis environnemental.Leur secret ? Une mission qui tranche, des décisions visibles (même quand ça bouscule les codes) et 5 leviers concrets que vous pouvez appliquer dès aujourd'hui pour construire un projet solide, aligné… et durable.Au programme :Clarifier sa mission pour qu'elle serve de boussole et accélère toutes les décisionsChoisir le bon véhicule et les bons alliés pour aller plus vite (reprise, partenaires, distribution, réseau)Transformer ses convictions en choix concrets : retirer le superflu pour investir dans l'essentielPiloter sur 3 tableaux : business, qualité, impact avec 1 indicateur clair pour chacunNe pas construire seul : équipe + réseau comme actifs stratégiques pour débloquer des étapesUn épisode 100% actionnable pour tout entrepreneur ou toute entrepreneure qui veut concilier ambition, exigence produit et impact.Bonne écoute !
Comment transformer la co-construction au travail en vraie collaboration ?Que vous soyez RH, recruteur, manager, parents ou entrepreneur, je décrypte le sujet pour vous.Dans cette capsule RH de 5 minutes, je vous partage mes 3 apprentissages suite à mon échange avec Donatienne Guinguamp et Nicolas Goldberg de chez Colombus consulting.
À l'approche de la fin d'année, le réflexe est souvent le même : faire le bilan. Ce qui a marché, ce qui a échoué, ce que l'on aurait aimé changer. Pourtant, au-delà des résultats visibles, une année raconte autre chose. Elle agit comme un miroir symbolique, un espace où se rejouent parfois des schémas plus anciens que nous.Une année n'est jamais une simple suite de jours. Elle devient un théâtre où certaines situations reviennent avec insistance : épuisement récurrent, conflits familiaux, difficultés financières, ruptures répétées, sentiment de lutte permanente ou manque de reconnaissance. On parle alors de malchance ou de fatalité. En réalité, ces répétitions peuvent signaler une mémoire non résolue, transmise, silencieuse, qui cherche à être reconnue.Ce que l'on ne comprend pas, ce que l'on n'a pas pu exprimer ou honorer, finit par se manifester dans les faits. La vie n'insiste pas pour punir, mais pour révéler. Derrière un blocage apparent se cachent parfois une peur héritée, une loyauté invisible, un rôle familial, un deuil ancien ou une promesse faite bien avant nous.Pour éclairer ces répétitions, trois questions peuvent transformer un bilan de fin d'année :– Ce que je vis s'est-il déjà produit dans mon histoire familiale ?– Qui, avant moi, n'a pas pu vivre ce que j'essaie d'accomplir aujourd'hui ?– Est-ce que j'avance avec ma propre énergie ou en opposition à mon héritage ?Voir, c'est déjà alléger. Ensuite vient le temps du symbolique. Nommer, honorer, puis poser un acte simple de clôture permet à l'inconscient de comprendre qu'un cycle peut se terminer. Écrire, rendre ce qui ne nous appartient pas, formuler une intention, puis laisser partir ce support par un geste concret.La fin d'année n'est pas une fin, mais une passation. Un rite intérieur. Se libérer, ce n'est pas oublier le passé : c'est lui offrir une place juste pour pouvoir, enfin, marcher vers sa propre histoire.
Et si la vraie innovation n'était pas de consommer “un peu mieux”, mais de changer la norme ?Dans cette capsule du podcast En Toute Transparence, nous vous proposons un extrait marquant de notre échange avec Léa Gott, cofondatrice de Hipli, une entreprise française qui a travaillé à transformer l'e-commerce grâce à des colis réutilisables, capables d'être utilisés jusqu'à 100 fois.Depuis l'enregistrement de cette capsule, nous avons appris la liquidation judiciaire de Hipli. Une nouvelle difficile, qui ne remet en rien en cause la pertinence de l'idée, ni l'exigence avec laquelle ce projet a été mené.À travers cet extrait il est question des arbitrages, des choix contre-intuitifs et des limites assumées d'un modèle à impact.Hipli le dit clairement : son modèle ne sera jamais compétitif face au plastique à usage unique. En revanche, il peut devenir la norme face au carton, à condition de changer nos habitudes — et de ne pas se raconter d'histoires.Nous souhaitions malgré tout publier cette capsule, pour saluer le travail des deux fondatrices et des 17 salariés, leur apporter tout notre soutien, et espérer que cet épisode contribuera, peut-être, à faire émerger un repreneur prêt à poursuivre cette aventure.

A Holiday Haunting: Part 2 Jack and Erin deal with new problems. Based on a post by zeon 67. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels. Jack's mouth painfully stretched open. He then released a long gasp, and his eyelids pulled back; he was now forcibly awake. Turning to his side, he found himself partially alone. Lucy was still there, deep in sleep, but no Erin. He called her name, but there was nothing. Putting on sweatpants and a t-shirt, Jack searched the house for her. He yelled her name and again there was no reply. It had never worked like that before, but Jack was desperate. He questioned himself, Lucy, the s ance and everything else. Worried that he had caused her banishment, Jack needed to interrogate the medium. But then the doorbell rang, and there was a knock at the door. Opening it, Jack saw a delivery man with a clipboard and a massive box. Annoyed that the new dryer he bought on Black Friday, had finally arrived a week late, he signed the paperwork but felt cold. Jack turned around but saw nothing. Terrified that he was losing it, Jack turned back to the delivery man. The delivery man wheeled the dryer in and took the clipboard off Jack, thanking him. The man then looked past Jack and said, "Morning, Miss." Behind him, Erin stood. Her mouth ajar and stood still, but wasn't her typical ghostly self. She looked like she did last night, her skin a pale pink while her hair was an auburn shade. Erin had the same clothes that Jack had seen for the previous fifteen years. But something was off. Erin had lost the white apron that covered most of the front, and the first two buttons of her collar were undone, possibly scandalous in the 19th century. "He saw me. He saw me." Erin said, walking towards the open door. She ignored Jack and edged closer to the outside, the fresh air, sounds of birds and something new to see calling her. Erin turned back to Jack and said, "Come with me." She then took one step outside and immediately disappeared. "Fuck!" Lucy screamed from upstairs. A post-S ance exam. They sat around the coffee table, all struggling to think of anything to say. Jack and Lucy had run some basic tests on Erin. She could be seen but not be touched, but cameras could capture her. She couldn't feel anything, but could sit in a chair without phasing through it. Should she take a step outside the house's confines, Erin would instantly vanish and reappear in the attic. But Erin could change her appearance, though only subtly. Like she could roll up her sleeves, undo a button or two and play around her hair. That was a relief to Erin; she had only worn hair in a bob because Mrs. Franklin demanded it. "So, what now," Jack said, taking a sip of coffee. "I; I don't know," Lucy shook her head, "This is way out of my area of expertise. Honestly, I didn't even know that this could happen." "Would it be so wrong if I stayed like this?" Erin said, "I can speak and I can be heard." "But you can't touch anything." Lucy said. "And my parents are going to be back soon. Then it's Christmas and the house is going to be filled with people. I can see my mom and my aunts instantly freak out if they saw you float. And, I have to go back to Boston. I can't leave you like this." "I know." Erin then looked at Lucy and asked, "Can we not do the s ance again?" "Hell no." Lucy shook her head, emphatically underlining her point. "What we did and what happened, it's not the same. Jack was supposed to talk to you and help you move on. Nothing about sex. We did something, maybe something wrong, maybe something right. But it pulled you into this plane. If we do it again, who knows what happens to you?" "Then what next?" Jack asked. Lucy pushed her chair back and stood up. She madly scrolled through the contacts on her phone. "I need to speak to someone. Be back in a sec." Erin followed Lucy out of the room with her stare. She paused for a moment, then leaned in towards Jack. "We should talk." "Yeah." Jack said, trying to hide his nervousness. "I never thought that I would be here. I'd be a banshee, roaming this house until the Last Judgement. I accepted that. Now I can be seen by anyone. I can be spoken to and listened. I am lost and scared. What happens to us?" Jack rested his hand on over hers, sinking through her tangible form and said, "I'll work something out. Don't worry. My dad did say he is thinking about selling the house. Maybe I take it." Erin dropped her head down and said, "I cannot let you do that. Live your life with a spirit. It will be dull. And there is so much I want to see." Leaning back, Jack smiled back at her. This was the first time he could find out who Erin really is, as a person. "Like?" "I want to be in the sky, flying across the ocean. To travel to places that I have only seen briefly in those windows. The Grand Canyon, swim in an ocean and visit Kinsale." "Kinsale?" "It is where I was born. I left when I was twelve. I always wished that I would see the village again." "Anything else?" Erin looked away, like she was thinking; then turned back to Jack and said, "I want to eat food that hadn't been boiled. Wear something luxurious. I want to see a movie. And to kiss you again." She smiled. Lucy walked back into the room. She glanced at Erin, then at Jack, realizing something was up, but began talking. "Okay, I spoke to a friend. She knows a lot of left-hand path rituals, some chaos magic. You know, maybe sigils and secret names?" she said, nodding as if they knew what she meant. "She knows a couple of necromancers." "Necro-mancers?" Erin asked. "They talk to the dead. My friend's going to reach out and get us a name. Hopefully, one who just wants to talk to the dead and nothing more. A necromancer will know what to do." "So, we just wait?" Jack asked. Lucy nodded. Home Alone. Days later, Erin stared at the TV. She was alone as Jack had to deal with the headache of Christmas preparations. He didn't want to leave her by herself, but Erin insisted that it was okay. This was something that Erin knew she had to get used to. She thought back to how difficult her life was before the s ance. Erin could easily take her current form as a constantly visible ghost, than that hell. One plus was now she could spend time with Jack. Last night, they spent hours talking. Jack told her everything that had happened to him since they last spoke. Erin was confused by his job, working as an engineer but with computers and clouds. Jack also showered her with questions about her own life. Her eyes widened after each question, and she grinned madly back at him. She told him about her life in Ireland, traveling across the Atlantic and working in Boston. Jack showed her current photos of how the city changed. She was amazed and saddened, seeing some of her favorite places of the city disappear. There was one question that Erin wouldn't answer. Jack had asked her where she would go, when she wasn't haunting the house. When he used to see her, it was only for an hour at most, then Erin would just fade away, and Jack would have to wait days or weeks to see her again. Erin couldn't say anything; she just looked away. She finally said it was difficult and Jack quickly changed the subject. The channel that Jack left the TV on was now playing another documentary about the World War. He told her it was a good idea for her to get used to the twenty-first century, but Erin couldn't stomach any more documentaries about the war. She understood Jack's reasoning; the other night, she cried in happiness that Ireland had become independent. A knock on the door turned Erin's head. There was no way it could be Jack. She could hear keys rattling and the door slowly open. Someone then called her name, a female voice. Erin phased through the walls to see who it was. She found Lucy standing outside, darting her head in and out. "Fuck!" Lucy stumbled back as she saw Erin appear, covering her mouth. She took a couple of deep breaths and then said, "Hi; Erin," Lucy nervously smiled, "Where's Jack?" "He has gone to a store called Walm Art. He will return in two hours' time, I hope." "Oh." Lucy paused. "Err, can I come in?" "Sorry," Erin stepped aside and allowed Lucy to enter. "Did Jack give you a key?" "Yeah," Lucy said, removing her jacket. "He swung by and said that I should have it, just in case." Muscle memory dictated her to ask for Lucy's coat and offer her a drink. Erin tried to hide her embarrassment while Lucy just smiled. Erin then followed her into the living room, trying to think about why she was here. She didn't like the idea that Lucy could enter the house whenever she wants. Erin knew the psychic was attracted to Jack; experiencing Lucy's feelings during the second time she possessed her. Erin couldn't help herself but checkout the medium's curvy frame as Lucy walked into the living room, hiding her disappointed face. "I have some news, but I will wait until Jack gets back. It'll be easier to explain. But it's good." Lucy grinned. She sat down on the sofa and asked, "What are you watching?" "A documentary about World War 2?" Erin said, not entirely convinced. "They call it World War 2 but do not say anything about a previous war." "Yeah, I can't remember what World War 1 was about. Might watch Wonder Woman again. Do you mind if I change the channel?" "Please," Erin replied, "It's depressing." She then joined her on the sofa. "So, how are you dealing with the modern world?" Lucy asked while flicking through the channels, stopping on at E. "It's pleasant. Yesterday, Jack showed me around the house and I was amazed. A dishwasher, a washing machine and an automated carpet cleaner. Those were most of my duties and would take half of my day. He showed me um moving photograph on his phone of places he has been to. I want to see them with my own eyes." "I'm guessing back in the 1880s travel was impossible." "Only by train or steam. Now you can fly anywhere," Erin smiled. "But what I'm most astonished by is being a woman. I died before I could vote and now a woman can run for President. I could only be a maid or work in a factory. Now there's so many possibilities." "That's really cool," Lucy said, smiling. Erin felt herself being distracted by the TV. She turned her head and saw a dozen of scantily-clad women grinding against men, who were topless and had bodies like circus strongmen. Her mouth dropped, watching as a woman sing to the camera. Lucy saw Erin's stunned expression and quickly changed the channel. "Sorry." "It's fine," Erin replied, "There is so much that is different. I need to adjust. It's just that if I were to go to a beach, I was expected to wear bloomers that covered my limbs. It is difficult to get used to being in an age were flesh is allowed." "I understand. It's okay to take your time." Lucy said. She then leaned closer and asked, "Sorry if this sounds idiotic. But you okay with me in general? Being a medium, the drinking and the sex before marriage?" Erin smiled and said, "I have lived in this household for over a century. My eyes have been open to many strange things. At first, I prayed for my soul and I thought my impurity was the cause of this life I was to live. As the years passed, I found myself losing that idea of sin. Families lived here, they indulged in vices that I found wicked. But they were still loving and moral people." "Wow," Lucy smirked and said, "One day, you must tell me what you saw over the years." Going back to Lucy's words and all the things she experienced got Erin thinking. In the hundred-odd years she had been trapped in this house, she had caught numerous couples screw late at night. Some were unmarried, others were of different races, which shocked her, but Erin found them loving, which just compounded to her jealousy. Erin had also seen couples have different types of sex, none like the ways she was told or experienced. Her fianc had been drunk during their entire courtships; she doubted he would have been sober enough to cock-stand. Robert just pushed her down on a billiards table and had his way with her. Erin thought she had enjoyed that, but it was nothing compared to what Jack made her feel the other night. It felt unusual, but she loved every moment of him touching her down below. "Um," Erin looked away before opening her mouth, "Lucy, can I ask you something? It is delicate." Lucy shrugged, "Sure." "Jack. He laid me down and used his tongue; on my quim." Erin said blushing. "Is this normal?" "Yeah," Lucy blurted out. "Sorry. Most guys do that now. If you're lucky." She smirked at Erin, who remained nonplussed. "Has sex really changed that much?" "One sec," Lucy stood up and skipped to the kitchen. She returned ten minutes later with a bottle of wine and two glasses. "If we're having girl time, we need wine." Lucy popped open the bottle and poured, then stopped. "Shit, I forgot. I'm sorry. Are you okay if I drink?" "Please," Erin replied, smiling. "My church said it was a sin. They encouraged to be teetotal. The man who I was supposed to marry died due to it. When I tasted wine and became hysteric. I thought that was the reason I was stuck in this house. Now I'm not sure. But I would love another taste." "Hopefully soon." Lucy then took a long sip and said, "Okay ; sex. Sex is nothing like you have experienced in the 1800s. There are handjobs, blowjobs, anal, bondage, choking and group sex. What Jack did to you ; I admit I'm jealous. Because most guys won't do that, but still expect you to blow them." "Blow?" "You put a penis in your mouth and suck on it." "Oh Christ," Erin muttered. Lucy then lifted up her phone, and loaded up a website. She then stopped herself, glanced at Erin and typed something else like she had changed her mind. She clicked on a video thumbnail and scooted closer to the spirit. "This is sex now." Erin moaned, watching a young blonde who looked a passing resemblance to Lucy, on a bed. She was nude and smiling at a tattooed man. She quickly stripped the man of his clothes, and then the couple kissed, rolling on the bed. Erin noticed that the woman was completely bare in the between. The man then kissed the woman in the cunt, just like Jack had done to her. "Wow," Erin moaned, "She looks like she is really enjoying herself." Erin felt the need to shift her weight on the sofa while she continued to watch. "Well, she's an actress. I should tell you that this is fake. But you need to know that it's okay to like sex and how you can enjoy it." Lucy then paused as they both watched the blonde actress get on her hands and knees. "That's the doggy-style position, very popular and feels great." Erin pursed her lip like she was trying not to laugh. Everything she had been taught, from her mother, Sunday School and the church, told her that premarital sex was an affront to the Lord. And sex in marriage was only for procreation. Now she could enjoy it. "I have to admit something, Lucy," Erin said, trying to look away from the video, "When me and Jack um fucked. I drew on your thoughts to make it more enjoyable." "I've been meaning to ask you about that." Lucy paused the video and took another sip of the wine. "Jack told me about the first time you possessed me and tried to kiss him." "I'm so sorry." "That's okay. I really just want to know how you were able to possess me? I've talked to spirits before, some probably fake, some hundred-percent real. But I've never been possessed." "I can't explain," Erin said. "It just happened and then I felt pain, you fighting back and mine own struggle. But I can tell you about the other time. It was easy. I just drew on your attraction to Jack." "It's like a tulpa," Lucy said, slowly smiling. "It has to be a tulpa!" "Tulpa?" "A tulpa is a being or an object created through intense thought. You have created something like this, linking you with Jack. When me and Jack were on the sofa, were you just haunting the house or were you drawn to this spot." "I just appeared here and saw you two." "Yeah," Lucy grinned, "This is great. I've got an idea on how we can help you." Erin nodded and looked away. She should apologize. Erin saw the blonde medium less of an adventuress, a strumpet who would seduce Jack, and more of a real person. And someone eager to help her. Erin knew she still had to adjust her 19th century way of thinking to the modern world. "Hey," Lucy said, getting Erin's attention. "Don't worry about me and Jack. I can tell he only wants you, especially now he can actually be with you. You know, have conversations. And I like you and I don't want to mess with a 19th century Irish ghost." Erin chuckled and covered her mouth. She wanted to believe that Lucy was genuine; she disliked being this jealous woman. When she was alive, with a body and everything, she had few friends. It was mainly due to her betrothed and the need to move cities for work. "What happened to you? When I possessed you?" "Hmm," Lucy paused and then said, "The first time I felt nothing, I was like asleep. When you did it again, it was like watching TV. I was standing in a dark room. Watching two screens and I could hear my voice, but it didn't sound like me. You leaned in and kissed Jack and it felt so weird. I'll be interested to try it again. Hell, if you ever want to have some fun with Jack, you can use my body." She grinned. Again, Erin blushed and went red, thinking about floating away from this conversation. Left Hand Magic. Jack opened the door and made a beeline to the kitchen. He ignored the dulled sounds of music being played and talking in the other room, assuming that it was just the TV. After stocking the fridge, he had to check on Erin. It was a weird relationship. She was like his girlfriend but also his patient. Jack just tried to focus on Lucy coming through for them. Walking into the living room, he found Erin and Lucy both on the sofa. The blonde medium was playing music on her phone while Erin nodded her head over the beat, her eyes closed. This was good. Jack knew that Erin would need someone else to talk to. Like with any other relationship, his neurotic side flared, and Jack was worried that he was suffocating Erin. It helped that Lucy knew what Erin was going through, wouldn't freak out and is around the same age. "Oh, you're back," Erin said, smiling. She stood up and walked through the coffee table to be at his side. "Did you get everything?" "Yep," He nodded, "So, what have you guys been up to?" "I'm just showing her what music is like now, and Instagram. And some other things." Lucy said, smirking at Erin. Jack caught the smile and glanced at Erin, who had gone red. Ignoring their feminine secrets, he sat down and asked, "So, do you have any news?" "Yep," Lucy replied and went for her bag. "You ever heard of a grimoire?" They both shook their heads, which Lucy had suspected they would do. She then gave them a brief explanation of a grimoire. It meant a book of spells, but more accurately, it was a textbook of magic. She had underlined certain pages, focused more on left-hand path magic, which went over both Jack and Erin's heads. The grimoire that Lucy had been given, had instructions on how to resurrect a body. "From what I read, resurrecting the dead is near impossible. Especially when the dead has been dead for over a hundred years. You need to evocate the person's spirit from wherever they are, say Hell or Heaven. That takes a lot of energy, and like it takes forever with like a zero-point-one chance percent of getting it right. But since Erin's spirit is still on Earth, we have a shot." "Fuck." Jack said. He then glanced at Erin and quickly apologized. "No, you are right," Erin nodded, dumbfounded as he was, "So, I can be human?" "Possibly," Lucy said, walking closer to the couple, the dirt-brown book of spells in her hands. "We need some things. Dirt from your grave, for one. Some other stuff, like salt, candles, herbs. Also, there might be sex magic involved." "Sex magic?" Erin said, "How? What?" "This is left-hand path magic!" Lucy yelled, "There's always stuff involving sex." "So, when do we do this?" Jack asked, pouring himself a glass of wine; he needed it. Glancing at Erin, she looked like she wanted one as well. "We need to pick the right date. A date real important." Lucy then got in front of Erin and asked, "What do you remember about the day you died?" "I um; it's hard," Erin said, "I can't. No." "The diary doesn't say much. All I know that she died on December 21st." "December 21st?" Lucy repeated, "The Winter Solstice usually falls on 20th or 21st. If Erin was murdered on the Winter Solstice, it can explain a lot. Tulpas. Midwinter. This is getting weird." Lucy told him that she will explain later. But there was a plan, and all they had to do is get some materials, research more into Erin's life and wait a week. Jack remembered that the ritual would probably happen with his parents around, maybe his sisters. He needed another drink. Nudity Norms. Erin felt comfortable, sitting in the living room with Jack, watching a Christmas movie. It was a pleasant feeling. Jack was supposed to be working, but he told her that he was now in the holiday zone, so he was expected to do the bare minimum until the new year. When she asked what his boss would say, Jack replied that he's probably doing the same right now. If this was what the modern world truly is, then Erin knew she would love it. She glanced at Jack, and he smirked back at her. Last night was still replaying her head. They were in bed, and had finished watching another Christmas movie. Some of the jokes Erin didn't get, also the ending was confusing. Frozen orange juice and future markets. Overall, she enjoyed the movie but was curious about the amount of nudity in some shows, and asked if that was normal. "Depends on the time and what you are watching," Jack said, "When you see actors and actresses naked, sometimes its just as is, like they're waking up or taking a shower. Over times, it's sexual and they might even pretend to have sex." "You mean fucking?" Erin grinned. "What?" Erin explained that she picked up some modern words. Jack immediately guessed it had to be Lucy. There was literally no one else. "I have only had sex twice in my life. Well, once when I was alive," Erin smiled, "What happened with us was unexpected and I had to tell someone. And she taught me some new words." Erin then moved closer and shocked him, "Lucy even showed me videos. Porn." Jack stayed still, not believing what he had heard. He had tried to work out how and why Lucy showed Erin porn. For the last couple of days, he had tried to be protective of her nineteenth-century mind, slowly exposing herself to the modern world. He looked at her, seeing if she was embarrassed. He couldn't tell. No, she looked more curious. He had to ask Erin what she was shown, intrigued at what she thought. Erin then described the scenes in vivid detail, telling the actions of the porn actors, her own emotions and what Lucy said. A man and woman slowly undressed, she was eaten out, then she gave the man a blowjob and then they had sex. Pretty vanilla. "Can I ask you something? Were you watching porn that night?" Erin then asked. That night. It felt so long ago to Jack; his life had changed so much. He told her yes, and wasn't surprised when Erin asked what type of porn. Lucy had really provided her some tutoring as Erin began rattling off porn genres. "Do you want to see what I watched?" Erin blushed but nodded her head. Jack set his laptop on the bed, directly in between them. He told her what he usually liked, amateur, lesbian and Point of view. Looking at Erin, her face was red, but she had this eager look on her, still curious. He played some videos, letting her watch for a while before asking her opinion. "It's. It's something," she said, sounding breathless. Erin watched each video carefully, amazed. One was through a man's eyes, bedding a young woman with many tattoos, which confused her as tattoos only belong to wealthy males during her time. Her eyes would drift to the right side of the page, suggested scenes. The words they used shocked her, anal, stepmom and orgy. Jack then played another movie; this time, it was two women. Erin had this initial disgust, but it slowly disappeared as the women sensually writhed together. It quickly got too much for her. She turned to face Jack, seeing a large bulge in his pants. She didn't know why, but Erin asked if Jack needed to sort himself. She insisted. He nervously pulled out his penis; her eyes flared at the sight of it, hard and veiny. With his dominant hand, Jack then slowly stroked his shaft. Erin quickly became entranced by the action, wishing that she could touch his cock again. But she became distracted, heat from her groin rippled up to her brain; Erin wanted to touch herself. Her eyes glued on him, she hitched up her skirt and slid her hand underneath her bloomers. Both Jack and Erin forgot about the Female-female-male scene that was playing and just stared at each other. Jack's hand became a blur over his cock, while Erin had slid two fingers deep into her pussy. There was little resistance from her Catholic upbringing; all those years she had been told that self-pleasure was a mortal sin were forgotten. Jack then cried out her name as ropes of cum shot out his cockhead. He grabbed a tissue and quickly caught the other spurts. Erin came immediately after him, also crying his name. There was no awkwardness between them as they settled in bed, watching each other as their breathing went back to normal. Jack then said something that made Erin's heart thud, saying that he wished that he could kiss her. She didn't want to think about that as they watched TV. She was still this spirit, telling herself that this could be her life until the Last Judgement. Still, Erin couldn't believe that she would ever try something like that with a man. Glancing at him, he was more handsome than her previous men. It was no contest with Patrick, her forty-something betrothed. With rotten teeth and shaking hands, Erin had hated the thought of touching him. Jack was more like Robert. Not physically, Jack was taller but didn't have Robert's square jaw and his lighter brown hair. Since seeing his naked body during the s ance, Erin noticed that Jack was more athletic than her previous lover. But Jack had Robert's charming and intelligent personality. He was also honest and aware of his limitations, unlike Robert. Whenever they were away from the Franklins, Erin would see him turn into an almighty braggart after a drink. They heard the front door opened then quickly closed. Lucy Prepares for a Resurrection. "Erin? Jack?" Lucy yelled. "In here," Jack said back. She was carrying a big tote bag as she walked into the living room. "Hey guys," Lucy smiled, "You okay?" Both Jack and Erin shrugged and then nodded their heads, saying fine at the same time. "What are you guys watching?" Lucy asked, facing the TV. "I don't know," Erin then turned to Jack and asked, "Which movie is this one?" "It's the Mistletoe Connection." "I've been watching a number of these Hallmark Christmas movies." Erin said, then shrugged her shoulders. "I do enjoy them, but I am finding a pattern. Struggling family business, a woman from the big city, a father with a young child and a lack of minorities?" She glanced at Jack to see if she was correct. He smiled and nodded. "We've been watching Christmas movies non-stop. If this ritual goes like it should, then Erin's going to be out in the world with no pop culture reference point. We watched Gremlins earlier and I figured that she needs a palate cleanser." "I was streaked," Erin said, looking back at Lucy. "She means scared." "For once, I was glad that I am a spirit. Those monsters would have made me cascade if I had a body." "She means puke." Jack then turned to Erin, and they exchanged grins. "You need to switch to Netflix Christmas movies. There's more variety." Lucy said. She took a seat and pulled the grimoire. "I need to ask you some questions, Erin. I want to make sure that we can get everything right for the ritual. Also, I can't find where you were buried." "Of course." "Why don't you guys take the living room. I probably should do some work today." Jack said, standing up. "Do you want some coffee, Lucy?" Lucy said yes, and they quickly settled around the coffee table. She booted up her laptop and asked Erin about her past, trying to squeeze information out of her last days alive. Erin gave vague answers back to her. She had been asked about this before, she hated thinking back. "What's going on?" Lucy asked, lowering her notepad. "What do you mean?" "You keep looking away and you're repeating yourself. What's going on?" "It's just," Erin said, but then stopped. "Lucy, I just need to tell someone about what had happened." Erin then leaned in, wanting to make sure that there was no way Jack could eavesdrop on them. Erin then told her how she and Jack watched porn, first describing the videos she saw. She caught Lucy's eyes widen as she went on. Erin then did a long exhale and told her that the evening ended with her and Jack mutually masturbating. Just like a move from a sitcom, Lucy did a spit take. Wiping her mouth, she turned back to Erin and said, "Sorry. But that's really hot. I didn't know that you can do that." "Nor did I," Erin replied, "I just can't control myself around him. I want to feel him again. To kiss him." "Just kiss?" Erin blushed and dropped her head. "I do have some other carnal thoughts." "Let's see what happens tomorrow. If I'm reading this thing right. You might get to have some fun tomorrow." "If only," Erin said. "So, you going to do it again?" Lucy asked grinning. Erin said nothing, trying not to laugh. "Hey, I'm a pervert," Lucy said, shrugging her shoulders. They went back to their research. Finding Erin's burial was difficult. Her death certificate was nonexistent. Either the hundred years that passed since her death made it impossible to find, or it was another insult by the Franklins. "O, space, then C-E-A-L-L-A-C-H-A-I-N," Erin said, spelling out her last name. "I'm not going to pretend to try to pronounce that." Lucy typed in the search bar and then asked, "I thought your last name is O'Callaghan?" "It is. That's just the Irish spelling. Jack said that if we are successful, I'll need identity papers. I may shorten it to Callaghan." Erin shrugged and looked away. With that done, Erin helped Lucy find her grave. She learnt that the Franklins had her buried in a Potter's field-like cemetery in a town near the border with New Hampshire. She also told Lucy more about her life, traveling across the Atlantic from Ireland, Boston and being forced to move to Portland due to Patrick. They were in deep concentration, but quickly looked up, hearing a car door slam shut. Then some voices that sounded like there were coming from outside. Parents Pop In. The front door opened, and a deep-sounding voice yelled, "Jack?" Jack jumped out of his chair; he was already prepared. He had been going over this moment since morning. He had to distract his parents while Lucy and, more importantly, Erin had to exit without drawing too much attention. His mom will probably faint if she saw Erin phase through walls, his dad would definitely spend an hour asking Erin to do tricks. He met them by the door and quickly lobbed questions at them. While his dad went upstairs to use the bathroom, Jack marshaled his mom into the kitchen. He showed her what he had bought for Christmas dinner, and asked about other things that they might need. In the living room, Lucy frantically piled her notes, her laptop and the grimoire back in her bag. She bounced from different spots of the room, trying to tidy up without being caught. Erin followed her around the room, not knowing what else to do. "Shit. Shit. Shit." Lucy said out loud but to herself. "Please be calm," Erin said, resting a hand on Lucy's shoulder though both could feel nothing. "We can say that we border together. But that we have to go now." "That's not a bad idea." Lucy replied. She paused and stared at Erin's clothes. "Can you do yourself up. Like how you used to look." Erin had her sleeves pulled up to her elbows, her hair down and her shoes were under Jack's bed. It was this weird quirk that she could change her appearance briefly, but it would just reset itself to how she always looked. Sometimes it was random, or if she just thought strongly enough. She nodded her head, and then Erin pressed her chest like she was doing the pledge of allegiance. With a quick flash, every bit of her clothing and her hair was back in its place. "Let's go," she said. While Jack was distracting his mother, they walked to the door, both looking at the kitchen. As Lucy opened the door, she waved at Erin and pointed to her mouth. Erin got the hint and said, "Bye Jack. We have to go." "Thanks for your help," Lucy added. They watched as a woman in her late fifties walked out of the kitchen. She was then joined by Jack. He looked like he was biting his lower lip. "Well, hello," she said. Her face had this inquisitive look like she was quickly judging them. "Hello, I am Erin," she said, "This is Miss; umm Lucy." "Hi, I'm Mary. Jack's mom," she replied, "That's umm interesting dress that you are wearing." Erin stayed quiet, her face frozen and her eyes stretched wide. "Oh, Erin's just shy," Lucy said, "She came from a rehearsal." She then turned to Erin and asked, "You're playing Scrooge's maid, right?" "Yes," Erin replied, not sounding anywhere convincing. "I'm sorry, but we need to be leaving." Jack left his mom's side and walked to the door, blocking her view of Erin just in case. "See you guys later," he said loud enough for his mom to hear him. He then leaned in and whispered, "Hide in my room, I'll be up soon." Both Lucy and Erin nodded. Jack slowly closed the door, watching Erin fade away as soon as she stepped outside. Lucy twisted her head left to right; he guessed that she was checking if anyone noticed a nineteenth-century maid disappear. Jack then locked the door and turned around, seeing his mother giving him a sly look. She suspected something. She was going to ask him so many questions, he knew it. Inconvenient Parents. Erin stared out of the window, bored. She realized that she had never really checked out the change in her surroundings. That was interesting for a while, but after two hours, she needed something else to do. Erin had tried to see if she could focus all her energy and press the TV remote power button but got nowhere. She attempted not to think about the ceremony tomorrow. Thoughts of her future, of Jack and life would occasionally creep in her head, and Erin had to ignore them. She trusted herself, knowing that if it went wrong and she would stay like this, that she could survive. But what about Jack? There was a knock and Erin turned her head. "Erin?" Jack said before opening the door and poking his head in. "Jack?" "Sorry, I had to leave you alone for so long. Mom and Dad really wanted to know what I've been up to." Jack then climbed onto his bed and switched the TV on. He flipped through the channels before settling on ESPN. He looked at the door as he played around with the volume. "I understand." Erin then joined him on the bed. "Oh yeah. Mom really likes the tree. I told her that you helped me decorate it." "Were they upset that I didn't fully introduce myself to them?" "No. Not really. But over dinner, Mom wanted to know about you. I had to think of something to say. I told them that I met you recently and we've been seeing each other. Also, you're crashing at Lucy's." "Seeing each other?" Erin replied, "Is that what modern courtship is?" "Something like that," Jack said, smiling, "What was courtship like in 1800s?" "Courtship was not for people like me. Especially for someone from Ireland. My Dad worked with a man and the fellow said he was looking for a wife. My Dad then brought him home one night, I may have said five words to Patrick during dinner. Two weeks later, we were engaged." "Whoa. Is that what you wanted?" "I never had a say. My parents said I was to be married and that was it." "What did you think about Patrick?" "A drunk," Erin said, rolling her eyes. "I could tell the type of husband he was going to be during that dinner. I was to be a nurse for him, bring him whiskey, wash him and clean off umm vomit from his mouth." She blushed again, still not comfortable with some modern words. "But when he died. How old were you? Couldn't you marry someone else?" "I was 25. A different time. One that I am so happy to be out of." Erin smiled. "There is something I want to ask. Is courtship similar to dating?" "Dating?" "I've heard that word spoken so many times in this house. Back when I was alive, dating meant buying a night with a whore." Jack tried to explain what dating meant now. The use of apps, having coffee dates or low-key ones like going shopping. Also, casual sex and friends-with-benefits. The dating stages, how couples usually go from casual acquaintances to dating, boyfriend and girlfriend, moving into together and finally getting married if they like. He saw Erin's shocked look when he explained that divorce was so common and accepted. Jack carried on, saying how some couples don't use labels to describe themselves; some do while others have their own thing. Embarrassed, but Jack had no choice to use experience from his own life. "We have had sex." Erin said, slowly smiling, "I guess we're more boyfriend and girlfriend." "Probably." Jack replied, smirking at her. Jack's phone then started buzzing and interrupted them. Reaching to the nightstand, Lucy was calling him on Facetime. He turned to Erin and said, "Lucy's video-calling me." "Video-calling? So, she can see us? Wow." Jack answered and said, "Hey Lucy, what's up? Where are you?" They could see Lucy in a dimly lit storeroom. There were boxes of Budweiser beer and whiskey stacked behind her. Her clothes also looked weird for her, wearing a white shirt and a black leather apron. There was no make-up on her face, and her hair was tied back. "I got a shift at the Cord & Rifle. Anyway, how you guys doing?" Erin looked at Jack, he shrugged, and she turned back to Lucy saying, "We're good." "What happened to your mom & dad?" "They had some questions. I told them that I've been seeing Erin for a while and you guys came over, so I can help you with your laptop." "And. I am uh, crashing; at your home," Erin said, emphasizing any modern words. "Cool, cool." Lucy looked passed her phone, then there was a knock and a muffled voice. She nodded and said, "They need me back behind the bar. There was also one thing. Tomorrow, it's just us and your parents, right? Like your sisters aren't going to burst in while we're burning sage or nude?" "Nude?" Erin looked at Jack, squinting her eyes. He shook his head and turned back to Lucy, "No. You don't have to worry about them. Katie and Beth will be flying out on 23rd. They got tickets to Taylor Swift tomorrow. Unless LA gets a plague of spiders, they are going to be there." "Okay then," Lucy nodded, "So, we need to drug your parents," she said, so casual. She then looked away, mouthing 'what' at someone. "Shit, I need to go." "What do you mean, drug my parents?" "Yeah, we need to drug them." Lucy stood up and looked like she was moving. "Why?" "They have to be drugged," Lucy replied, "Bye guys!" Jack glanced at Erin, then back to his blank phone screen. Tomorrow is going to be a long, stressful day. *** In a couple of hours, the Winter Solstice would happen, and Erin sat on Jack's bed. She watched him paced in the room, on the phone with one of his sisters. He said that he was helping her out with a computer problem, but as he talked to his sister, Erin only heard half of the conversation and it made no sense to her. She never really interacted with anyone else in the house. Before Jack and his family moved in, Erin tried to keep to herself, always in the corner of the eye of the house's occupants for a quick second, then disappearing. She didn't even want to be seen by Jack initially but had no choice as her attic became his bedroom. Few times, she would find herself in his sisters' rooms and would see them. Erin struggled to remember their names. What was she supposed to say whenever she meets them? Erin clenched her eye shut, hating herself. It was wrong to think about the future. There were so many things that could go wrong. Jack ended the called and turned to Erin, "I hate being the family's I T support," he said, rolling his eyes. "I T?" "Never mind." He settled on the bed next to her and slipped on his boots. "It'll be weird when I introduce you to them. Katie will be anywhere from cool to disinterested. I know for a fact that Beth will be asking you non-stop questions. She's a pain like that." Erin smiled and said, "You're being too confident. It might not happen. And if this ritual fails, I will accept it with grace." "Really?" "I need to. Just so I can stay sane." "I've got a text from Lucy. She's outside." Jack stood up and grabbed his jacket. "I have faith something will happen. Something good," he said, smiling back at her. "It's like a 40-minute drive to the cemetery. We will be a while. Try to stay here until me or Lucy come up." "Good luck," Erin replied. It was getting too much for her. Erin knew how she was feeling over him. She loved Jack. It terrified her. If the ritual fails, what would happen to Jack, Erin asked herself. He had this single-minded focus on helping her. She was worried that if it doesn't work, he won't be able to move on. Lucy pulled her Ford over and cut the engine. Jack wasn't going to say anything to her, but her car should not be making those types of sounds. It was like a Transformer was having a heart attack. Looking out of the window, he didn't see anyone. They left the car and slowly walk to the wall; it looked low enough for them to climb. Jack didn't know if there was some kind of night guard but said to Lucy that they should sneak in, just in case. She agreed, and soon he was boosting her over the wall. Climbing over, Jack landed on frozen grass that crunch with every step. They were lucky with the wind howling, making enough noise to cover their movements. "You ever been in a cemetery before?" Lucy asked, flashing the torch at a gravestone. "No. Have you?" "Yeah," she replied, "Loads of times; its part of the job. When I started hearing voices of the dead, I was like a goth goddess. Every Friday, someone was dragging me to a cemetery or a graveyard. Guys would hit on me all the time. I gave my first handy at a grave." "I got my first one during a school trip to Bangor," he said, looking at a gravestone, "I'm pretty sure that I told Erin about it." "How's Erin handling it?" Lucy asked, "Is she freaking out being a real woman again?" "Not really." Lucy stopped and Jack did the same. "Have you guys said anything about the future?" Jack sighed and shook his head. "Where's she going to stay? You're going back to Boston; is she going to follow you or stay here? She will need help with ID and social security." "I know. But Erin just doesn't want to think about the future. Talking about Boston, what she wants to do with her life and everything else, it will fucking hurt if tomorrow she's still a ghost. She's protecting herself." Lucy nodded and said, "I understand." Jack looked around, feeling that they were lost. Realizing that there was no guard and they were definitely alone, Jack and Lucy walked to the entrance. From there, they methodically worked their way up, finding Erin's grave after thirty minutes of searching. Lucy bent down and jammed a trowel into the ground. The frozen soil being too hard for her and Jack quickly took over. It took a couple of jabs to loosen the dirt. He scooped it up and funneled it into a sterilized container. Jack did ask why the box had to be sterilized. "You ever seen the Fly?" Lucy replied, tightening the lid around the plastic box, "You don't want her DNA mixing with something else. Turning her into a hybrid." "Really?" "Nah. It's just what it says to do in the grimoire," Lucy grinned, "Okay's let's get the hell out of here and roofie your parents." The Resurrection at Solstice. Jack searched the pantry for marshmallows, knowing that they were there somewhere. Lucy was upstairs with Erin. She was surprisingly easy to sneak into the house without his mom and dad noticing. While she was keeping Erin company, Jack was making his parents cocoa. Lucy had given him some weird smelling liquid to mix into the cocoa. It should make them fall asleep. He had to hide his look of glee when his dad said yes when he asked. If he didn't, they would be in trouble. He handed them the cocoa and settled down on the sofa, away from his parents. They were watching some Holiday cake show, and Jack would occasionally look up from his phone; they were still awake but getting quiet. Five minutes, he caught his mom closing her eyes and his dad doing that move of falling asleep, then jolting back awake. Ten minutes later, they were both deep asleep. He knew that they would be pissed at him in the morning, letting them sleep all night on the sofa. Waiting another ten minutes, Jack checked that they were still asleep and texted Lucy. It took just seconds for Erin to suddenly appear in his living room and the sound of Lucy running down the stairs. Both also checked if his parents were out cold; he guessed that they were also scared of being interrupted. "What did you give them?" Jack asked, staring at his snoring parents. "Oh, Valerian root and CBD oil," Lucy said, "We should get ready." "How long do we have?" Erin asked. "We got time," Lucy replied, looking at her phone. "The solstice is at 12:34am. This ritual has to happen during that time." "So, what do we have to do?" Jack said. They went back into Jack's room. Just like the s ance, they had to use the bedroom to host the ritual. Jack pushed everything to one side again, leaving a large empty space. Lucy made another circle, this time out of salt. There was something wrong with this; Jack had seen horror movies that use rings of salt as protection from the Devil. He wanted to ask if they're technically practicing Satanism. "This is just to make sure that we contain any kind of magic that we've created," Lucy said. After the circle was done, Jack placed seven black candles around the ring. They smelt funny, like someone could get high from the fumes. Lucy then put the grave dirt in the circle, making a pile with her hands. Directly opposite the soil, she positioned the silver bucket they had used before. While they worked on the preparations, Erin stood next to the door, silently watching them. Once Lucy said they were ready, they headed downstairs and to the kitchen. There was still some time to go, at least forty minutes. They could have waited in Jack's room, but both he and Lucy were too scared to touch anything and ruin the ritual. With Jack's parents snoring in the living room, they settled around the kitchen table. "Do you want something to drink?" Jack asked, breaking the silence between them. "Oh, god yes." Jack reached into a cabinet and pulled out a bottle of whiskey. "Dad got a bottle of Maker's Mark from my uncle," he said, pouring glasses for him and Lucy. They both quickly finished the bourbon and refilled their glasses. But Jack paused before taking another sip. He looked up from his drink to Erin and said, "Sorry about this." "Me too," Lucy said, hesitating as well. "But, if this works. I'm going to take you to a bar and we'll get hammered." Erin looked away and chuckled to herself. "Today, is it really that special? The Winter Solstice." "Yeah," Lucy said, "There's so many things that happen today. Yule is celebrated today by pagans and Satanists. Then there's the whole life-death-reborn symbolism of it, being the shortest day." She took another sip of bourbon and asked, "If this ritual works or doesn't, you're still going to experience a modern Christmas. How was that like back in 1890s?" Erin let out a quick smile and shrugged her shoulders. She said, "It was the same. There was Father Christmas ; Santa, Christmas trees and presents. When I was alive, I'd go to church number of times before Christmas. My mam and my nana would give me presents on 6th December. How about you two? What are your traditions?" "Mine are really boring," Jack said, "Typical Christmas. Exchange gifts, eat too much, drink too much. But it's the only time my sisters do all of the cooking. Like Christmas dinner is their time to shine. Later in the evening, we go to the movies. Lucy?" "Pass," she said, "With this talking to dead people, I never really celebrated Christmas. Normally out getting drunk with friends or strangers." Lucy then checked her phone and then said, "We should probably stop drinking. It's getting near midnight and I probably shouldn't be swaying when I start reading the grimoire. And if you drink too much, it might affect your plumbing. And we need a good, sexy, show." Jack rolled his eyes and stood up. He said, "I don't know anything about sex magic and what it does. But I really think you just want to watch us fuck." Erin stood next to him, blushing uncontrollably. She covered her face and looked away. "Maybe," Lucy grinned, "You guys go to your room and I'm gonna get changed and we'll start." Jack and Erin were in his bedroom, standing inside the circle. They stayed quiet, not even keeping eye contact with each other. Jack would open his mouth from time to time and try to say something, probably some reassuring words to Erin. He had none, though; so he kept his mouth shut and waited. His bedroom door swung open, and in walked Lucy. She had changed, replacing her jeans and sweatshirt with an ankle-length black dress. It had long sleeves and fit snugly around her curves. She also pulled her long blonde hair in a ponytail, wearing black lipstick and eye shadow. She could see them staring at her and said, "I'm trying to match what they were usually wear for this kind of thing." "So, should we get started?" Jack asked. "Yeah. You start lighting the candles. I'm going to start the fire and burn the sage." It was just like as Jack thought, the weird-smelling candles that he placed around the circle started exhaling a strange odor. It smelt like weed, but some cheap, disgusting weed. After that was done, he joined Erin back in the circle. Smoke from the sage filled the room, but it wasn't overpowering like the night of the s ance. Lucy held the grimoire tightly and rounded the circle, standing in front of the dirt. "I'm going to start reading the grimoire. When you can, start kissing and do you-know-what." "Are you okay?" Jack asked as he stood in front of Erin. "Yeah. I'm calm." Jack dropped his eyes to her hands. She was trembling. "Okay guys, let's get weird," Lucy said before she began reading. "Our good being. Bear this night lights open this fruit female. Set the Cork grass light. Her fruit diminished. Days gathering seasons said air together for every day lost. Given her wherein dry replenish. Light her subdued wings." Lucy lowered her head, facing Jack and Erin. They both looked puzzled. Lucy rolled her eyes and said, "Just, kiss now!" Jack tried to take Erin's hand, but his fingers went through hers. She widened her eyes, scared at what was not happening. She was still non-corporeal. Something had gone wrong, and they could be out of time. "Fuck. Fuck. Fuck." Lucy said to herself, frantically flipping through the grimoire. Jack kept eye contact with Erin and asked, "Lucy, can't we do this another day?" "No. Today is the day Erin died and it falls on the Winter Solstice. We might have to wait another year or two for the right time to occur, again." "If we wait," he said, still looking at a scared Erin, "There is no way Erin could go unnoticed by my parents. Even if I stay here." Lucy jumped into the circle and stood in front of Erin. "You have to possess me." "What?" Erin said, nearly yelling, "Why

Comment transformer notre posture intérieure grâce à la pratique de l'autolouange ?Récemment, on m'a parlé de l'autolouange. Un mot qui m'a d'abord surprise, avant d'éveiller ma curiosité.C'est dans cet élan que je suis allée à la rencontre de Marie Milis, que j'ai le plaisir de recevoir. Mathématicienne, pédagogue, anthropologue et coach, elle a fondé l'Institut de l'Autolouange. Elle a conçu, avec Bénédicte Deleplanque, le Coffret d'autolouange paru aux éditions Le Courrier du Livre.Loin de l'auto-flatterie, l'autolouange est une pratique ancienne et universelle, présente à la source de nombreuses cultures. Elle invite à développer l'estime de soi, à créer une vie à notre ressemblance, à grandir en confiance – envers nous-mêmes comme envers les autres – et à cheminer vers plus d'humanité.Dans cet épisode de Flowsophie, nous allons explorer ce qu'est la pratique de l'autolouange, comment elle agit sur notre rapport à nous-mêmes et aux autres, et en quoi elle peut transformer notre posture intérieure.Vous pouvez retrouver Marie Milis : - Site : https://mariemilis.net/- Site de l'Institut de l'autolouange : https://www.institutdelautolouange.com/- Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/marie.milis.7Crédit photo : Frank BruynbroekBonne écoute !------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Si vous avez apprécié cet épisode, et que vous souhaitez soutenir gratuitement le podcast, n'hésitez pas laisser 5 étoiles et un commentaire sur Apple podcast
L'appel intérieur au changementIl arrive un moment où tout, à l'intérieur, murmure qu'une transformation est nécessaire. Changer de métier, de lieu de vie, de rythme ou de relations ne relève pas d'un simple caprice : c'est souvent le signe qu'une nouvelle dynamique cherche à émerger. Sur le plan intérieur, cette impulsion se manifeste comme une énergie nouvelle, une vibration tournée vers l'avenir. Mais lorsque le mental s'accroche aux repères connus, une tension apparaît entre ce que le cœur désire et ce que la raison tente de protéger.Pourquoi la peur freine autantLa peur du changement est profondément liée à l'instinct de survie. Toute transformation, même positive, déstabilise l'existant. Le système nerveux interprète alors l'inconnu comme une menace potentielle. À cela s'ajoutent des mémoires anciennes : peur de l'échec, du regard des autres, de décevoir ou de perdre l'amour et la sécurité. Pourtant, cette peur n'est pas un signal d'erreur : elle indique souvent que l'on s'approche d'une zone de croissance.Transformer la peur en alliéeOser changer de vie ne signifie pas agir de façon impulsive, mais réconcilier le cœur et le mental. Se relier à une vision intérieure claire permet de déplacer le regard : moins se focaliser sur ce qui pourrait être perdu, davantage sur ce qui peut être gagné en cohérence, en énergie et en joie. La respiration consciente aide à apaiser le système nerveux et à retrouver un sentiment de sécurité intérieure. Poser des intentions simples et régulières renforce la confiance et ouvre progressivement le champ des possibles. Enfin, avancer à son rythme, pas à pas, rend le changement plus fluide et plus durable.Quand le passage s'ouvreL'expérience montre que lorsque l'on écoute cet appel avec patience et engagement, la vie répond. Derrière la peur se cache souvent une porte vers plus d'alignement et de paix. Changer de vie n'est alors plus une rupture brutale, mais un réalignement profond : celui d'une existence plus fidèle à ce que l'on est devenu.

Au cœur de la guerre froide, les États-Unis comme l'URSS multiplient les programmes secrets les plus extravagants. Parmi eux, un dossier longtemps resté dans l'ombre porte un nom anodin : le “sous-projet 94”. Derrière cette appellation administrative se cachait pourtant une idée déroutante : utiliser certains animaux comme outils militaires, capables d'espionner, de détecter des cibles, voire d'endommager des infrastructures ennemies. Un projet qui en dit long sur l'imagination — et l'inquiétude — des stratèges de l'époque.Les documents déclassifiés évoquent plusieurs pistes explorées en parallèle. D'abord, l'idée d'exploiter les capacités sensorielles exceptionnelles de certains animaux, notamment les oiseaux, les chiens ou les mammifères marins. L'objectif n'était pas de les transformer en armes au sens létal, mais plutôt d'utiliser leurs talents naturels là où la technologie humaine était encore limitée. Ainsi, durant les années 1960, on espérait qu'un oiseau dressé puisse discrètement transporter un dispositif d'écoute miniature, ou qu'un dauphin reconnaisse une forme sous-marine suspecte mieux qu'un sonar.Dans le cadre du sous-projet 94, les chercheurs examinaient également comment ces animaux réagissaient au dressage, à la contrainte ou à des environnements inhabituels. Le but était de contrôler leur comportement suffisamment précisément pour les déployer dans des missions délicates : repérage d'un sous-marin, surveillance d'un port, détection d'explosifs. Rien de spectaculaire, mais une volonté très pragmatique d'exploiter la biologie comme un complément à la technologie.Cependant, ce projet s'est heurté à deux obstacles majeurs. Le premier est éthique : la simple idée d'utiliser des êtres vivants comme instruments militaires soulevait déjà des résistances, même dans un contexte de tension internationale extrême. Le second est pratique : les animaux ne sont pas des machines. Ils restent imprévisibles, sensibles au stress, aux bruits, aux environnements inconnus. Leur “fiabilité opérationnelle” s'est révélée largement insuffisante, au point que plusieurs lignes du programme furent rapidement abandonnées.Avec le temps, le sous-projet 94 est devenu un symbole des limites de la science militaire. Il incarne cette époque où l'on croyait encore que la biologie pourrait être modelée à volonté, sans mesurer la complexité du vivant. Aujourd'hui, il demeure un épisode fascinant : un projet à la fois ambitieux, dérangeant et révélateur des angoisses technologiques de la guerre froide, où l'on cherchait désespérément à trouver l'avantage décisif — quitte à regarder du côté du règne animal.

Dans ce deuxième épisode de notre série sur les patients experts, je vous emmène dans les coulisses du soin : hôpital, recherche, formation des médecins… Ces sphères que l'on pense réservées aux professionnels s'ouvrent aujourd'hui aux patients. Marion Lanly (AP-HP) et Emmanuelle Hoche (Unicancer) nous montrent comment ces patients, devenus partenaires, transforment le système de santé de l'intérieur. Ensemble, on découvre comment leurs expériences intimes deviennent des leviers d'action collectifs. Grâce à des dispositifs structurés, ce partenariat redéfinit les rôles, les relations, et même l'architecture des lieux de soin. Un mouvement profond, concret, qui interroge aussi les limites de cette nouvelle place donnée aux patients.Dans cet épisode, on aborde :Comment les patients deviennent acteurs de la transformation hospitalièreLe rôle clé des aidants dans le soin et leurs difficultés d'engagementLes méthodes pour intégrer durablement la voix des patients (formation, co-construction…)L'impact du partenariat sur le sens du travail des soignantsDes exemples concrets d'ajustements grâce à l'expérience patient (architecture, soins, formation)Les défis liés à la reconnaissance et au statut des patients partenairesCheminements, c'est le podcast santé des femmes qui parlent de leur santé mentale, physique, et émotionnelle, sans honte, sans filtre et sans tabou. Chaque épisode, diffusé un lundi sur deux, vous plonge dans des récits authentiques et bouleversants.En ouvrant le dictionnaire, on apprend que "cheminement" désigne une progression graduelle, un mouvement, une avancée. Dans ce podcast, le cheminement est celui des femmes : leurs luttes, leurs victoires et leurs transformations face aux défis de la vie et de la santé.Dans Cheminements, le micro est tendu à des femmes du quotidien : vos voisines, collègues, soeurs ou amies. Elles témoignent de leur santé mentale, physique ou sociale, partagent leurs parcours uniques et osent enfin lever le voile sur des sujets trop souvent passés sous silence.Ce podcast santé donne la parole à celles qui méritent d'être entendues. Chaque histoire, portée avec sincérité, met en lumière des réalités humaines, parfois douloureuses, mais toujours humaines.
On Monday, OSHA announced more than $986,000 in safety violations for the largest transformer manufacturer in North America.According to the U.S. Labor Department, OSHA inspectors visited Virginia Transformer Corp.'s (VTC) plant in Pocatello, Idaho, in June 2025. The visit was a follow-up after a pair of inspections last year found cranes used to handle heavy loads with faulty brakes and switches.

Dans ce nouvel épisode de Ces questions que tout le monde se pose, je lis la lettre d'Adam. Adam est ce qu'on appelle un “senior” dans le monde du travail. Il a d'ailleurs une belle carrière derrière lui, et après avoir passé 15 années dans sa dernière entreprise, il a récemment été victime d'un licenciement économique lors d'un plan social. Malgré toute son expérience, Adam a complètement perdu confiance en lui, et a l'impression de ne plus être dans le coup ou capable de retrouver un travail, avoir ni les compétences nécessaires et d'être trop vieux. Alors à travers l'histoire d'Adam, et toujours dans l'espoir d'aider aussi toutes celles et ceux qui écouteront cet épisode, j'essaie aujourd'hui de répondre aux questions que tout le monde se pose… sur comment les échecs et comment les transformer.N'hésitez pas à vous abonner à ce podcast, me suivre sur les réseaux sociaux sous le nom de Maud Ankaoua, ou consulter mon site internet https://www.maud-ankaoua.com.

Dans cet épisode de Flowsophie, je vous emmène au cœur de mon cheminement qui a permis de retrouver mon axe et de transformer ma posture intérieure.Il y a une quinzaine d'années, je cherchais surtout à répondre aux attentes des autres : m'adapter, faire plaisir, éviter les tensions et taire ce que je pensais par peur du jugement.Puis certains événements ont bousculé cette posture et m'ont poussée à revoir ma manière d'être, avec moi-même comme dans mes relations.Je partage ici les étapes clés et les prises de conscience qui m'ont permis de naviguer la vie avec plus de justesse et de fluidité.Bonne écoute !------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Si vous avez apprécié cet épisode, et que vous souhaitez soutenir gratuitement le podcast, n'hésitez pas laisser 5 étoiles et un commentaire sur Apple podcast
J'ai eu la chance d'accueillir Aimery Duriez-Mise pour une conversation qui m'a profondément marqué. Cet entrepreneur, passé par 18 ans à la Société Générale avant de co-fonder sa propre société de conseil, nous livre un témoignage saisissant sur son parcours de reconstruction personnelle et professionnelle.Aimery nous raconte comment, enfant battu, il s'est construit une véritable armure émotionnelle, devenant ce qu'il appelle lui-même un "autiste émotionnel" jusqu'à ses 25 ans. Cette armure, symbolisée par ses costumes trois-pièces quotidiens, l'a protégé mais aussi coupé de ses émotions et de son authenticité. Il lui faudra une accumulation de traumatismes - la mort de son grand-père, le suicide de son oncle, la naissance d'une fille handicapée, la crise Kerviel - pour que cette carapace se fissure enfin.Ce qui me fascine dans son histoire, c'est la manière dont il a transformé cette vulnérabilité en force entrepreneuriale. Chez Alinea, sa société de conseil, il a osé introduire la dimension émotionnelle au cœur du management et même dans les relations clients. Leurs one-to-one commencent systématiquement par : "Quel est ton état émotionnel du moment ?" Une approche inattendue dans le monde du conseil.Aimery aborde aussi avec une rare honnêteté ses questionnements sur la masculinité et la virilité, sa séparation douloureuse, sa relation complexe à la paternité et son chemin vers la sérénité. Il évoque ces moments où il pleure désormais face à ses équipes et ses clients, créant une connexion humaine authentique qui transforme radicalement les relations professionnelles.Cette conversation explore en profondeur les liens entre trauma, reconstruction personnelle et leadership authentique. Aimery Duriez-Mise nous montre qu'accepter sa vulnérabilité n'est pas une faiblesse mais peut devenir un formidable levier de transformation, tant personnelle que collective.Timeline00:00:00 - 00:06:23 : De l'enfant battu à l'armure émotionnelle : la construction d'un alter ego00:06:23 - 00:11:18 : Le burn-out comme révélateur : quand l'armure se fissure00:11:18 - 00:18:25 : Transformer l'entreprise par la vulnérabilité : l'expérience Alinea00:18:25 - 00:30:36 : Les défis du management émotionnel et la gestion des burn-outs00:30:36 - 00:38:37 : Masculinité vs virilité : déconstruire les peurs profondes00:38:37 - 00:47:54 : Paternité et séparation : reconstruire les liens familiaux00:47:54 - 00:56:01 : Le chemin vers la sérénité : blessures, guérison et acceptation00:56:01 - 01:04:24 : Outils de transformation : de Romain Gary aux Accords Toltèques01:04:24 - 01:09:41 : Transmettre l'authenticité : parentalité et dialogue transgénérationnel01:09:41 - 01:12:35 : Getting Naked : vulnérabilité professionnelle et connexions humainesHébergé par Audiomeans.

Vous connaissez le Medhi, alias Medhi Running, qui traverse la France en bus pour courir le marathon du Mont Blanc ou celui qui court après les bus à Rennes. Mais Medhi a décidé de dévoiler son histoire et son parcours de vie dans un livre. Comment il a découvert la course à pied après des excès et des dérives. Comment elle lui a appris à respirer, à se dépasser, à transformer sa rage en énergie, sa douleur en puissance. Il dit que la course l'a aidé à s'apaiser, à se comprendre, à devenir plus fort — vraiment fort.Alors j'ai invité Medhi à venir parler de son parcours de ce que la course lui a apporté et permis de vivre. De ses aventures avec sa bande, son dernier 24 heures, sa manière bien à lui de courir.Liens :Le programme Marche Japonaise : https://go.soulier.xyz/marchejaponaisekm42La méthode pour imaginer et planifier ton année sportive : https://go.soulier.xyz/plan26 (38% de réduction)La Stratégie FlowFit : https://go.soulier.xyz/flowfitkm42Le programme Tout le monde peut courir plus vite https://go.soulier.xyz/viteGratuit : La méthode SAM en 2 minutes : https://go.soulier.xyz/oksamkm42Le Protocole Perte de Gras : https://go.soulier.xyz/protocolekm42Rejoindre le Hamsters Running Club : https://km42.soulier.xyz/hrcTous les liens et anciens épisodes : https://km42.soulier.xyz/396Suivre MedhiSon compte Instagram : https://go.soulier.xyz/medhirunningLivre de Medhi : https://go.soulier.xyz/livremedhi (lien affilié)C'est la troisième fois que je reçois Medhi dans ce podcast. Il restera pour moi l'organisateur d'une course qui restera gravé à jamais dans mon cœur, le 24 heures le jour de mon anniversaire.Mais nous n'avions jamais parlé de son parcours de vie avant la course. Il a décidé de le raconter dans un livre sorti il y a quelques semaines : Mémoire d'un Fragile devenu Fort: Rien ne m'a épargné, surtout pas moi.J'ai donc invité Medhi pour venir parler de son livre et de ce que la course lui a apporté. Pourquoi il dit que la course est devenue un ancrage dans sa vie. Medhi compare la course à pied à une drogue, offrant des sensations fortes et des moments d'euphorie. Et il sait de quoi il parle car Medhi explique justement dans son livre cette autre partie de sa vie : son enfance cabossée, la colère, les excès, les dérives…Dans son livre et cet épisode, il partage son expérience de la course à pied et sa manière bien à lui de courir. Pas forcément académique mais qui l'a amené à faire plusieurs marathons, des ultra ou encore plusieurs 24h.Medhi nous parle de son attachement à la communauté de coureurs, des belles rencontres, de l'importance de la petite équipe qui s'est montée dans un quartier de Rennes et avec laquelle il se lance dans des courses et défis, comme un 24h ce week-end.Il évoque des moments précieux passés avec eux mais aussi cette course de 5km avec ses enfants qu'il considère comme son plus beau souvenir.Le parcours de Mehdi montre que chacun a une histoire unique qui mérite d'être partagée. Medhi souhaite être un déclencheur de motivation pour ceux qui sont sédentaires et se sentent figés. Nouveau : Le protocole Perte de Gras 2025 ❤️ Me suivre Tous les liens sont ici

Découvrez ma formation aux fondamentaux de l'accueil, un parcours d'excellence, accessible à toutes & tous !1️⃣ Présentation de l'invité : Diplômé depuis 2017, Thomas Hostache a fondé, son associé Bertrand Chaput, le studio Hoch. Implantée entre Paris et Aix-en-Provence, cette agence d'architecture s'occupe de projets hôteliers d'envergure, orientés vers le développement durable. Avec une troisième branche dédiée à l'architecture d'intérieur, Thomas et son équipe sont capables de mener des projets de A à Z, se spécialisant notamment dans la rénovation plutôt que dans la construction neuve, une démarche qui s'est transformée en conviction pour préserver l'environnement et valoriser le patrimoine. Nous plongeons avec lui dans l'univers de l'architecture hôtelière et restauration, où Thomas explique les défis spécifiques de ces projets, de la conception à la réalisation. Il aborde l'importance de la réversibilité des bâtiments, la réutilisation de matériaux et la création d'espaces qui servent aussi bien les clients que le personnel. L'approche de Thomas est une véritable leçon sur l'importance de l'architecture dans l'expérience hôtelière, montrant que la beauté d'un lieu est indissociable de sa fonctionnalité et de son impact environnemental. 2️⃣ Notes et références : Le studio archi Hoch Edgar Suites Le Grand Mazarin Canal Architecture Épisode 56 - Créer Okko Hotels, avec Solenne Ojea-Devys Épisode 69 - Projets FF&E et OS&E, avec Sébastien Romiszvili Épisode 42 - Transformer une grange en lieu d'accueil, avec Edouard Daehn, fondateur du Barn Hotel Le livre Le Style Anthropocène de Philippe Rahm 3️⃣ Pour contacter l'invité : par mail : thomas@hoch-studio.com ou via l'Instagram de @Hoch surtout pas sur linkedin ! 4️⃣ Le partenaire de l'épisode : Influence Society Influence Society Prendre un rendez-vous avec le fondateur Sébastien Felix En venant de la part d'Hospitality Insiders, vous bénéficiez de 45 minutes en tête-à-tête avec Sébastien Felix pour repenser votre stratégie digitale et parler d'Intelligence Artificielle.

We're told that AI progress is slowing down, that pre-training has hit a wall, that scaling laws are running out of road. Yet we're releasing this episode in the middle of a wild couple of weeks that saw GPT-5.1, GPT-5.1 Codex Max, fresh reasoning modes and long-running agents ship from OpenAI — on top of a flood of new frontier models elsewhere. To make sense of what's actually happening at the edge of the field, I sat down with someone who has literally helped define both of the major AI paradigms of our time.Łukasz Kaiser is one of the co-authors of “Attention Is All You Need,” the paper that introduced the Transformer architecture behind modern LLMs, and is now a leading research scientist at OpenAI working on reasoning models like those behind GPT-5.1. In this conversation, he explains why AI progress still looks like a smooth exponential curve from inside the labs, why pre-training is very much alive even as reinforcement-learning-based reasoning models take over the spotlight, how chain-of-thought actually works under the hood, and what it really means to “train the thinking process” with RL on verifiable domains like math, code and science. We talk about the messy reality of low-hanging fruit in engineering and data, the economics of GPUs and distillation, interpretability work on circuits and sparsity, and why the best frontier models can still be stumped by a logic puzzle from his five-year-old's math book.We also go deep into Łukasz's personal journey — from logic and games in Poland and France, to Ray Kurzweil's team, Google Brain and the inside story of the Transformer, to joining OpenAI and helping drive the shift from chatbots to genuine reasoning engines. Along the way we cover GPT-4 → GPT-5 → GPT-5.1, post-training and tone, GPT-5.1 Codex Max and long-running coding agents with compaction, alternative architectures beyond Transformers, whether foundation models will “eat” most agents and applications, what the translation industry can teach us about trust and human-in-the-loop, and why he thinks generalization, multimodal reasoning and robots in the home are where some of the most interesting challenges still lie.OpenAIWebsite - https://openai.comX/Twitter - https://x.com/OpenAIŁukasz KaiserLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lukaszkaiser/X/Twitter - https://x.com/lukaszkaiserFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)Blog - https://mattturck.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) – Cold open and intro(01:29) – “AI slowdown” vs a wild week of new frontier models(08:03) – Low-hanging fruit: infra, RL training and better data(11:39) – What is a reasoning model, in plain language?(17:02) – Chain-of-thought and training the thinking process with RL(21:39) – Łukasz's path: from logic and France to Google and Kurzweil(24:20) – Inside the Transformer story and what “attention” really means(28:42) – From Google Brain to OpenAI: culture, scale and GPUs(32:49) – What's next for pre-training, GPUs and distillation(37:29) – Can we still understand these models?

The Transformer architecture (which powers ChatGPT and nearly all modern AI) might be trapping the industry in a localized rut, preventing us from finding true intelligent reasoning, according to the person who co-invented it. Llion Jones and Luke Darlow, key figures at the research lab Sakana AI, join the show to make this provocative argument, and also introduce new research which might lead the way forwards.**SPONSOR MESSAGES START**—Build your ideas with AI Studio from Google - http://ai.studio/build—Tufa AI Labs is hiring ML Research Engineers https://tufalabs.ai/ —cyber•Fund https://cyber.fund/?utm_source=mlst is a founder-led investment firm accelerating the cybernetic economyHiring a SF VC Principal: https://talent.cyber.fund/companies/cyber-fund-2/jobs/57674170-ai-investment-principal#content?utm_source=mlstSubmit investment deck: https://cyber.fund/contact?utm_source=mlst—**END**The "Spiral" Problem – Llion uses a striking visual analogy to explain what current AI is missing. If you ask a standard neural network to understand a spiral shape, it solves it by drawing tiny straight lines that just happen to look like a spiral. It "fakes" the shape without understanding the concept of spiraling. Introducing the Continuous Thought Machine (CTM) Luke Darlow deep dives into their solution: a biology-inspired model that fundamentally changes how AI processes information.The Maze Analogy: Luke explains that standard AI tries to solve a maze by staring at the whole image and guessing the entire path instantly. Their new machine "walks" through the maze step-by-step.Thinking Time: This allows the AI to "ponder." If a problem is hard, the model can naturally spend more time thinking about it before answering, effectively allowing it to correct its own mistakes and backtrack—something current Language Models struggle to do genuinely.https://sakana.ai/https://x.com/YesThisIsLionhttps://x.com/LearningLukeDTRANSCRIPT:https://app.rescript.info/public/share/crjzQ-Jo2FQsJc97xsBdfzfOIeMONpg0TFBuCgV2Fu8TOC:00:00:00 - Stepping Back from Transformers00:00:43 - Introduction to Continuous Thought Machines (CTM)00:01:09 - The Changing Atmosphere of AI Research00:04:13 - Sakana's Philosophy: Research Freedom00:07:45 - The Local Minimum of Large Language Models00:18:30 - Representation Problems: The Spiral Example00:29:12 - Technical Deep Dive: CTM Architecture00:36:00 - Adaptive Computation & Maze Solving00:47:15 - Model Calibration & Uncertainty01:00:43 - Sudoku Bench: Measuring True ReasoningREFS:Why Greatness Cannot be planned [Kenneth Stanley]https://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-Greatness-Cannot-Planned-Objective/dp/3319155237https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhYGXYeMq_E The Hardware Lottery [Sara Hooker]https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.06489https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQFxbQ7ade0 Continuous Thought Machines [Luke Darlow et al / Sakana]https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.05522https://sakana.ai/ctm/ LSTM: The Comeback Story?

Wondering which NFL games are the most consequential in Week 12? Well, so did we. So with the help of the amazing Conor Orr of Sports Illustrated we created a Top Five list. (He also weighs in on the Ja'Marr Chase spit debate. TLDR: Dad of newborns don't flinch.) We also have Mike Ryan Ruiz join in to provide insight into the uniforms of the AFC East. It's a division that's lost its way. There's some Shadeur Sander chat, too. But the spiciest debate happens when we decide who is best Transformer. (Soup says Grimlock. But do The Dinobots count?)

Youssef Badr est juge à Créteil, ancien porte-parole du ministère de la Justice, et auteur du livre Pour une justice aux mille visages.Youssef est le frère de mon amie Requia mais il a surtout été beaucoup invité par les médias ces derniers mois.Tout simplement parce qu'il possède cette intelligence fine, cette lucidité sans aigreur, et cette capacité à mettre des mots justes sur des réalités sociales qu'on peine parfois à nommer.Dans cet épisode, on a parlé de transclasse, de solitude, de l'école qui n'accueille pas tout le monde de la même manière, de racisme, et bien sûr, de justice. Pas celle qu'on voit dans les séries, mais celle qu'on rend tous les jours, dans les tribunaux, face à des vies cabossées, souvent invisibles.Ce qui m'a touché chez Youssef, c'est sa manière d'incarner ce métier avec exigence, mais aussi avec humanité. Il a traversé des chemins que beaucoup n'imaginent même pas. Et son livre, très fort, est un appel à une justice plus représentative, plus incarnée, plus équitable.J'ai voulu comprendre ce que cela change de juger quand on vient soi-même d'un milieu populaire. Est-ce qu'on juge différemment ? Est-ce qu'on ressent un poids plus lourd sur les épaules ? On a aussi discuté de l'état de la justice aujourd'hui, de ses limites, du manque de moyens, de la surpopulation carcérale, et de ce que signifie, profondément, “rendre la justice”.Un épisode riche, engagé, sans langue de bois, où on parle autant de système que d'intime. Un échange que je suis fier de vous partager.5 citations marquantes“La première des injustices, c'est celle de l'information.”“On ne peut pas rêver de devenir juge quand on ne sait même pas que ce métier existe.”“Il faut arrêter de dire ‘quand on veut on peut' à des jeunes qui vivent à six dans 40m².”“Il n'y a pas de monstres en prison, il y a des gens qui ont fait des choses monstrueuses.”“Je suis juge, pas militant. Je rends la justice, je ne la commente pas.”10 questions structurées posées dans l'interviewPourquoi avez-vous commencé votre livre par le thème de la solitude ?Est-ce que la solitude est plus forte quand on est transclasse ?Qui vous a aidé à franchir les étapes dans votre parcours ?Est-ce que votre famille comprenait ce que vous faisiez ?Qu'est-ce qui vous a donné envie de devenir juge ?À quoi ressemble aujourd'hui la magistrature ?Est-ce que la justice française est représentative de sa population ?Est-ce que la justice a un rôle à jouer dans l'égalité des chances ?Que répondez-vous à ceux qui parlent d'un système “trop à gauche” ?Est-ce que vous avez parfois l'impression d'être jugé plus sévèrement à cause de votre origine sociale ou ethnique ?Timestamps clés (optimisés pour YouTube)00:00 – Introduction et présentation de Youssef Bader02:00 – La solitude dans le parcours de transclasse04:30 – Le rôle des professeurs, entre soutien et abandon07:00 – L'importance de la famille malgré l'incompréhension12:00 – Comment l'idée de devenir juge a émergé17:00 – Les limites de l'école face à l'égalité des chances24:00 – Le racisme systémique dans le système éducatif29:00 – L'état critique de la justice aujourd'hui35:00 – Pour qui Youssef a-t-il écrit son livre ?44:00 – Surpopulation carcérale et alternatives à la prison52:00 – La justice a-t-elle un rôle dans l'égalité des chances ?
