Ce sont des films de princesse ou dʹimpératrice. Sissi, un film autrichien réalisé par Ernst Marischka en 1955. Cʹest le premier dʹune trilogie qui retrace la vie dʹElizabeth dʹAutriche et son amour pour lʹempereur François-Joseph. Sissi, cʹest Romy Schneider, toute jeune, face à Karlheinz Böhm dans un film qui va faire date. Car Sissi, cʹest un mythe en dentelle, fastes, et belles robes à la cour autrichienne. Cʹest une histoire qui fait souffler un vent de fraîcheur sur les blessures de lʹAutriche, de lʹAllemagne de lʹaprès-guerre et qui exporte une autre image de ces nations, une image qui fait rêver. Sissi en 1955 fait mouche. Le caractère mutin de Romy Schneider, les paysages bavarois, la magnificence de Vienne, et lʹamour plus fort que tout. Le film est suivi par Sissi impératrice en 1956, Sissi die Junge Kaiserin, et par Sissi face à son destin en 1957, Schicksalsjahre einer Kaiserin. Aujourdʹhui, dans Travelling, nous allons évoquer ces trois films. Mais pas uniquement. Nous allons également faire un point sur lʹHistoire de la vraie Sissi, la vraie impératrice, une femme au destin particulier, qui mourra à Genève, assassinée. Et puis nous parlerons surtout de Romy Schneider, sa vie, sa carrière, et la force quʹelle a mise à laisser derrière elle ce passé germanique, cette figure de Sissi qui va la hanter tout comme la figure de sa mère, la comédienne Magda Schneider, qui joue sa mère dans le film. Une comédienne au passé trouble quand lʹAllemagne était en guerre. Nous aurons la version des faits de Romy Schneider. Dès lors, partons pour la Bavière, puis pour lʹAutriche afin dʹentrer dans lʹhistoire dʹune impératrice qui va marquer le 19e siècle et laisser planer son ombre sur le cinéma du 20e siècle. REFERENCES Hermary-Vieille, Catherine, Romy, Editions Plon, 2011 A l'occasion du Festival de Cannes, François CHALAIS s'entretient avec Romy SCHNEIDER.

Clint Eastwood, en justicier jusquʹauboutiste, brandissant son Magnum 44 demande sʹil a tiré 5 ou 6 balles. Cʹest culte. Mais cʹest violent. Et cʹest dans lʹInspecteur Harry, Dirty Harry, de Don Siegel sorti en 1971, un film qui va littéralement cliver lʹAmérique. Cʹest un des films policiers les plus influents et les plus controversés jamais réalisé. Clint Eastwood est Harry Callahan, un flic désabusé, solitaire, qui devient une sorte de Vigilante et butte contre le système, face à un psychopathe, Scorpio, joué par Andrew Robinson. Le Vigilante, cʹest une sorte de justicier, quelquʹun qui repousse les limites de la loi, les frontières professionnelles et morales pour appliquer sa propre vision de la justice. Le film débarque sur les écrans en 1971. Un période charnière où lʹAmérique est en crise. Cʹest un film reflet, un symptôme du regain de violence urbaine de la société américaine du début des années 70 Les utopies de la décennie précédente subissent un reflux brutal aux Etats-Unis empêtrés dans le bourbier de la guerre du Vietnam, les émeutes raciales et les scandales politiques. A Hollywood, le cinéma policier et le western vont rendre compte de cette crise morale et sociale avec des films critiques et démythificateurs. Le public adore. La critique le conspue, on fustige lʹultra violence, le patriotisme, la misogynie et Clint Eastwood sʹenferme dans un personnage de brute pour le plus grand plaisir des cinéphiles. Aujourdʹhui dans Travelling, la musique de Lalo Schifrin, les images de Don Siegel, San Francisco à lʹaube des années 70, Clint Eastwood et son personnage de Dirty Harry, on va vous raconter tout ça. Nous avons des anecdotes, des extraits, beaucoup dʹarchives, pour évoquer, lʹInspecteur Harry est une production qui mêle habilement simplicité et raffinement et crée des personnages iconiques.

Philadelphia, de Jonathan Demme, sorti en 1993 est un film important. Car il traite de problématiques tragiques : le Sida, lʹhomophobie et lʹexclusion. On lʹa un peu oublié aujourdʹhui, mais dans les années 80 et 90, la communauté homosexuelle masculine, principalement, est atteinte dʹun mal mortifère qui emporte dans la tombe des centaines de jeunes gens. Mais lʹépidémie de Sida va sʹétendre et toucher dʹautres populations par le biais des transfusions sanguines. Il nʹen faut pas plus pour que la panique gagne tout le monde et que le virus progresse rapidement. Ce mal, on en parle tous les jours, à la radio, à la télévision, dans les journaux. Il faut du temps pour que lʹon comprenne comment le virus du Sida fonctionne et quʹon mette en place des campagnes dʹinformation, de prévention, tandis que la science progresse et propose des thérapies. Et cʹest dans ce climat délétère de peur, que Jonathan Demme, réalisateur multi oscarisé pour le Silence des Agneaux, tourne un film de procès qui traite, en sous-main du Sida, mais plus frontalement dʹexclusion. Philadelphia cʹest le premier film grand public qui traite de cette question. Et il va faire date. Certainement grâce aux performances de ses acteurs principaux, Tom Hanks et Denzel Washington, mais principalement grâce à un scénario, inspiré dʹune histoire vraie, un scénario bien ficelé signé Ron Nyswaner. Le film est bien accueilli par le public et la critique. Tom Hanks remporte son premier Oscar du meilleur acteur pour son rôle d'Andrew Beckett, Aujourdʹhui, dans Travelling, cʹest Philadelphia que nous regardons ensemble. Ne tardons pas trop, car le personnage joué par Tom Hanks se lance dans un contre-la-montre contre lʹinjustice dont il est victime. Il en sortira vainqueur avant dʹêtre emporté par la maladie.

Life in Spite of Everything: Tales from the Ukrainian East (Daunt Books Publishing, 2025) is a unique reflection on the much-mythologised Donetsk and Luhansk regions of the Ukrainian east, the old and recent history of the region as seen by an esteemed academic multi-disciplinary scholar Victoria Donovan in her numerous travels to the region prior to the full-scale invasion. Seen through a deeply empathetic lens of conversations with local curators, historians, museum workers, and artists, the region is shown in its complexity, with the uniqueness of its landscapes, endangered biodiversity, entangled colonialisms of its past and a threatened future. Since start of Russia's war against Ukraine in 2014, its eastern region—Donbas—has been synonymous with conflict. With the escalation of that war in 2022, its, cities such as Bakhmut and Lysychansk have become familiar to us through the images and reports of brutal devastation. Victoria Donovan excavates a rich, multicultural history of this area, and paints a radically different picture. Travelling from the dramatic, jagged peaks of Bilokuzmynivka to the marshland of Mariupol, from a warehouse rave to an abandoned gypsum mine, the physical world and its importance to this region's identity is brought to vivid life. But above all else, by speaking to those whose lives are embedded there now—curators, artists, railway workers, young people who have grown up amidst instability and destruction—Donovan amplifies local voices and reveals the intensely personal lived reality of Putin's war. Victoria Donovan is Professor of Ukrainian and East European Studies and Director of the Centre for Global (Post)socialisms, Southeast, Central and East European Studies at the University of St Andrews. Viktoriia Grivina is an independent anthropologist and writer, author of Kharkiv, a War City (Ibidem, 2025), and Kharkiv is a Dream: Public Art and Activism, 2013–2023 (Ibidem, 2025).

Foundations of Amateur Radio When the Sun burps, something that it does regularly, the mainstream media starts talking about aurorae and optionally the end of the civilised world, not always as clinically as that. What's not talked about, let alone explained, is the nature of the solar burp. You've likely heard the terms Coronal Mass Ejection, or CME, Solar Flare and perhaps Solar Wind, Solar and Geomagnetic Storm, and Solar Flux, but what do these terms actually mean and how do they relate? Let's start with some basic numbers. Our Sun is 150 million kilometres away from Earth. As seen from Earth, the Sun rotates on its axis every 27 days, called a synodic rotation period, because while the Sun is rotating, Earth is moving too. If that wasn't enough, the Sun isn't solid, depending on where you're looking at it, rotation happens at different speeds, faster at the equator, slower at the poles. You might have heard of the Solar Cycle, an 11 year period during which solar activity steadily increases, near the maximum activity its magnetic poles flip from North to South and activity slowly decreases until the cycle starts again. Until quite recently we've deduced this by counting the number of dark areas, called sunspots, on the surface of the Sun. All this to say that our Sun is one massively dynamic environment and with it come a whole lot of processes that science is still discovering. The YouTube channel Astrum has a fascinating video called "We Didn't Predict the Sun Would Do This", that describes much of what we're still learning. We experience the Sun as a source of light, but as a radio amateur you know that light only represents a small set of frequencies in the radio spectrum, it's better to think of the Sun as a radio source, emitting many frequencies at once. The strength of this is measured at 2.8 GHz three times a day at 17:00, 20:00 and 23:00 UTC at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada. This measurement, the Solar Flux gives a good indication of the level of solar activity. Adjusted for the varying distance between Earth and the Sun, a Solar Flux Index, or SFI, below 70 means that solar activity is very low, above 150 is considered very high activity. In addition to radio waves, the Sun also spits out a continuous wave of particles. Different parts of the Sun emit these at different speeds, varying between 300 and 800 km/s. These particles, the Solar Wind, exist throughout our Solar system. Because the Sun rotates and the particles aren't being emitted evenly we experience the solar wind as having a 27 day cycle. Think of a water filled beach-ball hanging from a rope with a hole in it, spinning, creating spirals of water. Stand in one spot and every time the ball rotates, you get hit by water. When the Sun burps, often at a sunspot, where concentrations of magnetic fields cool the surface, bursts of electromagnetic radiation are generated throughout the radio spectrum. Measured in Watts per square meter, this radiation is called a Solar Flare. Travelling at the speed of light, it takes about nine minutes to arrive at Earth. Sunspot and solar activity is used to model and predict the potential for solar flares. Strength is classified in four stages, class B being the weakest, through C, M, and class X being the strongest, each ten times more powerful than the previous. Within each class, numbers 1 through 9 serve to provide additional resolution, X2 being twice as strong as X1. The most powerful flare on record was estimated to be about X45, recorded on 4 November 2003, when at strength X17 the sensors overloaded. Some solar flares coincide with a massive eruption of particles, some of which are ejected violently, called a Coronal Mass Ejection or CME. A slow CME, travelling at 500 km/s might take three days to hit Earth, an extreme CME, travelling at up to 2,500 km/s might arrive in 16 hours. As the CME particles arrive, they distort Earth's geomagnetic field and depending on the severity, might cause a geomagnetic storm where fields are pushed closer towards Earth causing visual effects as aurorae. Recovery generally takes up to two days, but in extreme cases has been observed to take four. Disturbances of Earth's magnetic field are highly variable and are expressed in several different ways, the K, Kp, A, Ap and G indices. The K-index measured at individual observatories, ranges from 0 to 9 over a three hour period represents the maximum horizontal fluctuation in the geomagnetic field. Values of 5 and above indicating a geomagnetic storm. The planetary Kp-index represents a weighted average of 13 mid-latitude observatories. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA uses a G-scale, between 1 and 5, equivalent to a Kp-index between 5 and 9. The A-index is derived over eight K-index readings over a 24 hour UTC period at a particular observatory, below 20 is calm, between 20 and 50 is unsettled and above 50 is a stormy day. The Ap-index is an averaged planetary index based on data from a set of specific Kp stations. There's more. In 1760, a publication by Swiss polymath Leonard Euler indicated the existence of three stationary points between any two large bodies, known today as L1, L2 and L3. In 1772, Italian born, French mathematician, physicist and astronomer, Joseph-Louis Lagrange, discovered two more stationary points, L4 and L5. Known as the Euler-Lagrange, or Lagrange Points, some of these locations are being used today for solar observations, predictions and early warning systems. Launched on 24 September 2025 and in orbit at L1, between the Sun and Earth, at a distance of 1.5 million kilometres from Earth, the SOLAR-1 satellite acts as an early warning for solar storms. Since particles travel slower than the speed of light, this provides about 15 minutes warning for extreme CME's and longer for slower events. It became fully operational on the 10th of June, 2026. As part of the same Space Situational Awareness Programme as SOLAR-1 is the European Space Agency's Vigil space mission. Intended to be placed at L5, 150 million kilometres from Earth, it will be able to observe solar activity as the Sun rotates towards Earth and reports indicate that this will increase early CME warning by two to four hours. Vigil will also allow for four to five day space weather forecasts. It's planned for launch in 2031, mind you, it's going to take three years to get to L5. Aimed with all that information, I was actually, for the first time, able to at least understand the solar report in my Mastodon feed. "The Sunspot Number has dropped to 88. The Solar Flux Index has risen to 149. G1-class geomagnetic storms are predicted for today. A-Index is 14, K-Index is 2. Chance of flares today: 55% for M-Class, 10% for X-Class." Armed with that information I'm going to make myself a cuppa and figure out what my WSPR beacon has to say about all this. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Hi, everybody! I am Georgiana, your English teacher and founder of SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. Today, we are going to talk about what happens when a carefully planned trip begins to fall apart. Maybe your flight is delayed or cancelled. Perhaps you miss your connection, your suitcase disappears, or the hotel cannot find your reservation. Lately, these problems seem to be increasingly common, especially during the peak summer season. Airports are overcrowded, flights are full, and staff are under pressure. One small delay can quickly disrupt your entire journey. Read the full transcript for free on my website: https://speakenglishpodcast.com/385-when-travel-plans-go-completely-wrong/ Travelling is already tiring. You may have woken up at four in the morning, waited in several lines, removed your shoes at security, and paid far too much for a disappointing sandwich.

Thinking of travelling with your child with Down syndrome but feeling a little overwhelmed? You're not alone! In this episode of the T21Mom podcast, Mary is sharing everything she has learned from travelling internationally as a family.  As Mary prepares for her third European adventure-this time to beautiful Italy, she looks back on what worked, what didn't and the lessons she has learned from her trips to Paris and Prague. From navigating airports and surviving long-haul flights to packing essentials, sightseeing and embracing the unexpected, this episode is packed with practical tips and encouragement for families considering their own adventures. Mary also shares a few recent family updates, including her second annual T21Mom Mingler for moms raising kids with the dual diagnosis of Down syndrome and autism, and her annual Ups and Downs BBQ. If you've ever wondered whether travelling with your Rockin' kiddo is possible, this episode is your reminder that it absolutely is!  It may not always be perfect, but the memories you'll make together are worth every challenge. 

What is your experience with travelling? Is it fun for you, just a means to a destination, or a complete nightmare? Join Simone Milasas in this episode of Choice, Change and Action, as she talks with Dr. David Kubes about all things travel. Find out fun facts like David and Simone's favourite airline, favourite plane, and the best airport lounges and food. Get tips on hiring cars, catching trains, booking restaurants, and where to sit on a plane. Your travel experience can be so much more enjoyable if you do your research beforehand and engage with the locals when you arrive. Their number one tip: travel is an adventure, so enjoy it. No matter what delay or mishap occurs, you're always going to end up okay. Have fun and explore the world! Questions And Tools: "What's right about this I'm not getting?" Tools: To avoid the sun, sit on the left when flying west bound. Google the best seat to sit in if you want to see a particular landmark you're flying over Educate yourself on which credit cards get you airport lounge access. All airlines overbook. Call the airline and ask if they need volunteers for upgrades. Ask the airline if they do cash upgrades. If the flight is not fully booked, ask at the check in counter if there is any row free where you can lie down. The very front row typically has less leg room; go for the second row. Give the steward looking after you a small gift eg Tim Tams or Malteesers. Continuously educate yourself and gain awareness on travel. Ask people you know who travel a lot what they know. Ask locals for recommendations of what to see, do and where to eat. Ask your body where it wants to eat. Eat local food. When booking a restaurant, book for more people than are coming and say they cancelled on you so you get assigned a bigger table. If you don't speak the language, use your hands. When driving overseas, remember your body has to be in the middle of the road. Treat everything like an adventure. Have fun.

This week, I pulled my husband in to do a full recap of our family trip to Italy at the end of May. We were there for 15 days with our two kids (17 and 19 at the time), and honestly, a month later I'd hop on a plane back in a heartbeat. We cover everything: how we planned it, how we paid for it, what we'd do differently, and the real, unfiltered truth about what it's like to travel as a family of four for two weeks straight. In this episode, we talk about: How we used credit card points to cover four flights and how we scored a last-minute premium cabin upgrade for all of us for about $3,000 The difference between staying in hotels vs. Airbnbs, and why Airbnbs won for us every time Why we'd skip the Amalfi next time (controversial, I know) and where we wish we'd spent more days The hidden charges at Italian restaurants that caught us off guard  How we average 20,000–30,000 steps a day and why getting lost on foot is genuinely one of the best travel strategies Why we booked the Colosseum and Vatican three months out Our honest take on Naples  What it means to raise kids who know how to travel    Let's dive in!

Nikiwe Bikitsha is one of the reasons this podcast exists. Years before I started Chica Travel, I heard her travel across the continent on 702's Africa Connected and thought, what if I did this? In this episode she takes me from a childhood in Mthatha glued to the news, to countries across the continent, to three weeks in Pakistan, to Japan, and to Oxford finding her when she was not looking. We talk about curiosity as a way of moving through the world, seeing a city by running through it, the places we overlook, and the love she was met with everywhere she went in Africa.

Puffins that waddle right up to you, dolphins pacing the bow, sea eagles overhead and a sea cave so famous it sparked a Mendelssohn symphony. It all sounds like a once in a lifetime trip. We wanted to make it something you can actually plan, even if you are travelling without a car and juggling real-world ferry times, bus links and unpredictable Scottish weather.We pick up the journey in Oban and talk through a clear Inner Hebrides itinerary built around public transport: ferry over to the Isle of Mull, bus to Tobermory for a few nights, then a full day boat trip to Lunga for puffins and on to Staffa for Fingal's Cave. Along the way we share the unglamorous details that make or break island travel, like when to arrive as a foot passenger, what layers you genuinely need on the water, how popular tours sell out, and why bringing your own food is non-negotiable on some boat days.From there we cover the wider Mull experience with a guided wildlife tour for golden eagles and white tailed eagles, then travel across to Fionnphort for a day on Iona. We talk about Iona Abbey, the island's distinctive feel, the Book of Kells connection, and how to book ferries in the right order and handle cancellations when they happen.The trip finishes with a scenic ride to Fort William and an overnight on the Caledonian Sleeper, turning the journey home into part of the adventure.
