From Cajun Country to the French Riviera: Louisiana Meets France takes you on a lively, honest, and sometimes surprising journey through France with Annie Sargent and her guests, Renee Poche and Dixie Poche, a mother-daughter duo from Cajun Country in Louisiana. Listen to this episode ad-free This episode explores what happens when Cajun French culture meets modern France. Renee and Dixie share stories from their first trip together to Nice, Paris, Reims, and small towns along the way. They talk about expectations versus reality. They compare food, daily rhythms, and cultural habits. They reflect on what feels familiar and what feels very different. You'll hear about staying in a former convent in Nice. Walking the Old Town. Riding elevators up cliffs. Watching the noon cannon fire. There's champagne tasting in the Champagne region, with honest opinions about Reims versus Épernay. There's Versailles, with practical advice on timing and energy levels. There's Paris, explored slowly, on foot, with cafés, cemeteries, shopping, and a night at the Moulin Rouge. Food plays a big role in this conversation. Annie, Renee, and Dixie compare Cajun boudin and French andouille. They talk about sauces, spices, portions, and meal times. They also discuss how French fashion, walking culture, and city layouts influence how visitors experience France. This episode is about more than an itinerary. It's about traveling together. It's about mother-daughter dynamics on the road. It's about noticing small details. It's about how shared French roots can feel both close and distant at the same time. If you're curious about Cajun French culture Louisiana vs France, planning a first trip, or thinking about traveling with family, this episode will resonate.

Greg Jenner is joined in 17th-century France by Dr Jonathan Spangler and comedian Tom Allen to learn all about Philippe, Duc d'Orléans, Louis XIV's younger brother. King Louis XIV is one of the most famous monarchs in French history: the man who built and presided over the glittering court at Versailles, established himself as an absolute ruler, and whose 72-year reign is still the longest in European history. But what about his younger brother, Philippe? Who was the man who grew up and lived in the shadow of the Sun King? Raised to defer to his brother at all costs, his promising military career was cut short when it seemed like he might outshine Louis. When all eyes were on him as heir to the throne, he would wear dresses to provoke shock at courtly balls. He balanced his marriage to his witty German wife, Liselotte, with a decades-long relationship with his aristocratic male lover, the Chevalier de Lorraine – and other men of the court. And he maintained an image as a louche and irresponsible courtier while increasing his personal wealth through clever financial management. This episode explores the complexities and contradictions of Philippe's life, and examines the difficult position of second sons in royal history.If you're a fan of royal sibling rivalries, the gossip and glamour of the French court, and queer history, you'll love our episode on Philippe, Duc d'Orléans.If you want more fascinating French royals, listen to our episodes on Catherine de Medici and Marie Antoinette.

Prague entered the First World War as the third city of the Habsburg empire, but emerged in 1918 as the capital of a brand new nation-state, Czechoslovakia. In Streetscapes of War and Revolution: Prague, 1914–1920 (Cambridge UP, 2024), Dr. Claire Morelon explores what this transition looked, sounded and felt like at street level. Through deep archival research, she has carefully reconstructed the sensorial texture of the city, from the posters plastered on walls, to the shop windows' displays, the badges worn by passers-by, and the crowds gathering for protest or celebration. The result is both an atmospheric account of life amid war and regime change, and a fresh interpretation of imperial collapse from below, in which the experience of life on the Habsburg home-front is essential to understanding the post-Versailles world order that followed. Prague is the perfect case study for examining the transition from empire to nation-statehood, hinging on revolutionary dreams of fairer distribution and new forms of political participation. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Shield AI and Taiwan's NCSIST team up on AI drones Taiwan's National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology and American defense company Shield A-I have signed a contract to advance the development of AI-piloted unmanned systems. The systems are reportedly capable of continuing operations in compromised communications environments. According to Shield AI President Brandon Tseng, the partnership will enable (使…能夠) drone forces being produced in Taiwan to include cutting-edge AI pilots that will allow the U-A-V's to operate while G-P-S and communications are jammed. Shield AI last year announced a teaming agreement with Taiwan's state-backed Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation and opened a new office at the Taipei 101. CDC reporting first measles case this year after Vietnam trip The Centers for Disease Control is reporting Taiwan's first measles case of this year. According to the C-D-C, the case involves an eight-month-old baby boy who lives in northern Taiwan, who traveled with his family to Vietnam and returned in late January. The boy developed a fever, a persistent (持續的) cough and other symptoms in early February and was hospitalized last Friday after developing a rash. The C-D-C says the infant's family members and 395 others suspected contacts are now being monitored. They will continue to be monitored until February 28. The C-D-C has issued measles travel alerts for Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Angora, Mexico, Yemen and Pakistan, and placed 30 other countries on its watch list. Health authorities are advising parents to ensure their young children receive their measles, mumps and rubella vaccine. US Trump Administration to Wind Down Immigration Surge in Minnesota The Trump administration says it will end its immigration enforcement (執行) operation in the state of Minnesota, claiming the state is now safer because of their work. This comes after the deaths of at least two people, both shot by immigration or federal border agents. Mitch McCann reports: UNICEF: Haiti Armed Groups Increasingly Recruiting Children UNICEF says that the recruitment of children by armed groups in Haiti tripled last year as poverty and violence deepens across the troubled Caribbean country. The surge reported Thursday comes as gang violence displaces a record 1.4 million people across Haiti. More than half of them are children whom experts say are left exposed and vulnerable (易受傷害的; 易受攻擊的). The U.N. estimates that 30% to 50% of members of armed groups are children, with recruiting (招募) starting as young as 9 years old. UNICEF's representative in Haiti, said boys generally act as spies, carry ammunition and weapons while girls often face sexual violence and are tasked with domestic work. France Prosecutors Investigating Ticketing Fraud at Louvre Paris prosecutors say police are detaining nine people in an investigation into a long-running ticket fraud scheme at the Louvre museum. Prosecutors say the arrests happened on Tuesday. The museum had filed a complaint in December 2024. Investigators found tour guides repeatedly reuse the same tickets for different visitors. Prosecutors say guides also split groups to avoid a required speaking fee. Two Louvre employees allegedly helped skipping (略過) ticket checks in exchange for cash. The prosecutors' office estimates losses top 10 million euros over a decade. Prosecutors also mentioned similar suspicions regarding a ticket fraud at the Palace of Versailles, without providing details. That was the I.C.R.T.

In this episode, host Victoria Barlow interviews Lionel Arsac about the recent exhibition at the Palace of Versailles: The Grand Dauphin (1661-1711). Son of a king, father of a king and never king. This exhibition shines a light on the relatively unknown life and career of Louis of France (son and heir of the famous Louis XIV).

A participação brasileira na Wine Paris 2026 ganhou destaque entre os expositores internacionais e deixou os produtores brasileiros otimistas. Oito vinícolas de quatro estados – Rio Grande do Sul, Minas Gerais, São Paulo e Pernambuco – marcaram presença no salão francês, encerrado na quarta-feira (11), que se consolidou como uma das maiores vitrines globais do setor.  Adriana Moysés, da RFI em Paris Com apoio da ApexBrasil, as empresas exibiram a diversidade da viticultura brasileira e comemoraram a boa acolhida de compradores e especialistas europeus. Criada em 2019, a Wine Paris se transformou em um encontro obrigatório do calendário mundial do vinho, que reuniu, no ano passado, mais de 5.400 expositores de 154 países. É essa dimensão, somada ao dinamismo comercial, que tem atraído cada vez mais vinícolas brasileiras. Entre os produtores estreantes, a Salton disse estar impressionada com a magnitude do evento. O gerente de negócios internacionais da vinícola, com sede em Bento Gonçalves (RS), César Baldasso, reconheceu que a Wine Paris superou as expectativas. “A gente está totalmente surpreendido. É uma feira de altíssima qualidade, com um movimento muito grande – e um movimento de qualidade. As reuniões foram excelentes, compradores realmente interessados no Brasil. Saímos daqui certos de que voltaremos no próximo ano”, disse Baldasso. Ele também destacou o papel crescente dos espumantes brasileiros no mercado internacional. “O espumante brasileiro é um grande diferencial, o melhor espumante do hemisfério sul – e, por que não, entre os melhores quando consideramos o Velho Mundo?” Miolo reforça diversidade e aposta no futuro Também gaúcha, a Miolo participou pela segunda vez da Wine Paris. Para Lúcio Motta, líder da área de exportação, o interesse dos compradores segue forte, especialmente pelos espumantes, mas não só. “O espumante é o interesse inicial, mas os tintos e brancos têm procuras similares. Os importadores ficam impressionados com a quantidade de uvas que produzimos e com nossa capacidade de trabalhar em diferentes níveis de preço”, afirmou Motta. Durante a feira, houve um debate sobre as consequências do Acordo Comercial Mercosul–União Europeia, que, ao derrubar as tarifas de importação para zero no caso dos vinhos, pode impactar a competitividade das bebidas nacionais. Atualmente exportando para seis países europeus – França, Itália, Alemanha, República Tcheca, Suécia e Malta –, além de outros mercados pelo mundo, o representante da Miolo encara o futuro com confiança. “A preocupação existe, claro. Mas também vemos uma oportunidade. Quem ainda não exporta precisa começar a pensar nisso, porque o mercado brasileiro ficará mais competitivo. Vamos ter que buscar novos mercados e essa expansão já está no nosso horizonte há 30 anos”, disse Motta. Vinhos de Minas Gerais A Serra da Mantiqueira esteve representada pela Casa Almeida Barreto, que participou pela primeira vez de uma feira internacional. Para Jorge Almeida, a expectativa foi superada. “Muita gente está curiosa para explorar vinhos do Brasil. Trouxemos vinhos jovens, frescos, da safra 2024, sem passagem por barrica, para deixar a fruta falar mais. A altitude de 1.300 metros nos dá acidez alta e complexidade. A resposta tem sido muito positiva”, apontou Almeida. Na mesma região, a vinícola Barbara Heliodora iniciou sua produção há cerca de oito anos e chamou a atenção por ter conseguido desenvolver, em pouco tempo, vinhos complexos e longevos, segundo o sommelier Marcos Medeiros. “A Mantiqueira produz vinhos elegantes e frutados, graças à amplitude térmica. As uvas que melhor se adaptaram foram a sauvignon blanc e a syrah. Desde 2018, fazemos de um rosé delicado a uma Grande Reserva com até 24 meses em carvalho. Os franceses estão adorando – é um vinho diferente, vindo de um país tropical”, comentou o sommelier. Do Vale do São Francisco à capital francesa A pernambucana Verano Brasil mostrou na feira a singularidade da produção no Vale do Rio São Francisco, região do paralelo 8 onde é possível colher uvas o ano inteiro. O diretor comercial Evandro Giacobbo trouxe dois estilos nos rótulos apresentados. "O primeiro, mais despojado, tropical, jovem e refrescante – pensado para encantar um público iniciante. E a linha Garziera, mais tradicional, com varietais de malbec, cabernet sauvignon e chardonnay. É a jovialidade do Vale do São Francisco chegando a Paris”, celebrou.  A Wine Paris 2026 ocupou nove pavilhões no Parque de Exposições da Porte de Versailles. Entre seus corredores movimentados, os produtores brasileiros encontraram não apenas compradores interessados, mas uma verdadeira oportunidade de reposicionar a imagem do Brasil no cenário internacional como um país de diversidade vitivinícola.

L'exposition ne durait que 8 jours. 8 jours pour voir les tapis exceptionnels de la Grande Galerie entre Le Louvre et le Palais des Tuileries. Les tapis de Louis XIV.  Quel bâtiment pouvait accueillir de si beaux tapis (une trentaine sur les 92 représentants 440 mètres)? La nef du Grand Palais, bien sûr ! Ils ont été tissés entre 1668 et 1688, mais ils n'ont jamais été installés, car le Roi Soleil était déjà parti à Versailles.  Mais ce n'est pas les tapis qui m'ont le plus enthousiasmée... J'ai vu le Roi et j'ai été éblouie.  Vous comprendrez tout en écoutant cet épisode. Dans la lettre qui accompagne cet épisode, vous trouverez des notes culturelles, mais nous nous pencherons aussi sur les phrases complexes avec le pronom relatif "qui".

Dans l'histoire de France, peu de souverains offrent un contraste aussi saisissant entre jeunesse dissolue et destin royal que Charles X of France, connu avant son accession au trône sous le titre de comte d'Artois. Avant d'incarner l'un des derniers rois de la monarchie française, il fut en effet l'un des princes les plus libertins de la cour de Versailles.Né en 1757, dernier petit-fils de Louis XV et frère cadet du futur Louis XVI, le comte d'Artois grandit dans un univers où luxe, privilèges et plaisirs constituent le quotidien. Très tôt, il se forge une réputation de prince dépensier, amateur de fêtes, de jeux d'argent et d'aventures galantes. À Versailles, son nom devient synonyme de légèreté, voire d'irresponsabilité. Il accumule les dettes et multiplie les liaisons, au point d'inquiéter régulièrement la famille royale.Ce goût prononcé pour les plaisirs n'est pas anodin. Il reflète l'esprit d'une partie de l'aristocratie finissante, déconnectée des réalités sociales et économiques du royaume. Tandis que les finances de l'État se dégradent et que le mécontentement populaire monte, le comte d'Artois continue d'incarner une noblesse insouciante, symbole, pour beaucoup, des excès de l'Ancien Régime.Lorsque éclate la Révolution française en 1789, il fait partie des premiers princes à quitter la France. Hostile à toute concession envers les révolutionnaires, il s'exile et passe plus de vingt ans à errer à travers l'Europe, cherchant sans relâche à obtenir l'aide des monarchies étrangères pour restaurer la royauté. Durant cet exil, son image évolue : le libertin frivole se transforme progressivement en défenseur acharné de la monarchie et de la tradition.Le retour en France se fait en 1814, avec la chute de Napoléon et la restauration des Bourbons. Son frère Louis XVIII monte sur le trône, et le comte d'Artois devient l'héritier. À la mort de Louis XVIII en 1824, contre toute attente, l'ancien prince noceur devient roi sous le nom de Charles X.Mais le contraste est frappant : celui qui fut un libertin notoire adopte désormais une posture ultra-conservatrice. Profondément attaché à la religion, il cherche à restaurer l'autorité de l'Église, à renforcer le pouvoir royal et à effacer l'héritage révolutionnaire. Cette politique rigide l'isole rapidement d'une société française qui a profondément changé.En 1830, ses ordonnances autoritaires provoquent une insurrection à Paris : la Révolution de Juillet. Charles X est contraint d'abdiquer et part une nouvelle fois en exil.Ainsi, le comte d'Artois demeure une figure paradoxale : libertin flamboyant devenu roi rigoriste, symbole à la fois des excès de l'Ancien Régime et de l'incapacité de la monarchie restaurée à comprendre son époque. Une trajectoire qui résume, à elle seule, le crépuscule de la royauté française. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Three years ago I interviewed my friend and occasional ACL contributor Gabe Bogart for Episode 29, our anniversary episode. We had such a good time we talked about doing a podcast called SLEPT ON IT, and so I sat on this episode for years, waiting for us to get off our asses and make it happen. No one ever asked why episode 30 was missing, so it feels right for an episode with this title to turn up years later. We discuss adventurous listening, the dangers of nostalgia, the hip hop renaissance of the 2020s, and much more.

Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg soll der Vertrag von Versailles eine neue Ordnung schaffen. Die Staaten sollen miteinander sprechen, statt sich zu bekämpfen, so die Vision von US-Präsident Woodrow Wilson. So entsteht der Völkerbund und Genf wird zum Sitz der Organisation. Doch warum gerade Genf? Die Stadt überzeugte die Delegierten, weil die Stadt dank dem Roten Kreuz bereits als Ort des Dialogs und der humanitären Zusammenarbeit galt und damit symbolisch für Frieden stand. Zudem setzte sich William Rappard in Versailles geschickt dafür ein, Genf als neutralen und gut vernetzten Standort des Völkerbunds zu positionieren. So wurde im November 1920 die erste Versammlung des Völkerbunds abgehalten. Erst 17 Jahre später bekam der Völkerbund mit dem Palais des Nations einen Hauptsitz. Doch der Zweite Weltkrieg lässt den Völkerbund in einen Tiefschlaf sinken. Nach dem Krieg wird er durch die UNO abgelöst. ____________________ Vom Ersten Weltkrieg zu Woodrow Wilsons Vision, vom kleinen Genf zum Sitz einer globalen Organisation: Diese Serie erzählt, wie der Völkerbund entstand, scheiterte – und wie daraus die UNO wurde. ____________________ In dieser Episode zu hören: · Pierre-Etienne Bourneuf, wissenschaftlicher Berater des Archivs und der Bibliothek der UNO in Genf · Jörg Leonhard, Professor für Geschichte an der Universität Freiburg ____________________ Recherche, Produktion und Moderation: Silvan Zemp, Anaïs Kien (RTS) ____________________ Literatur: Kuntz, Joëlle (2011) : Genf.

Peut-on être enthousiasmé par un tapis? J'ai réalisé que oui. Pourquoi? Parce que le tapis en question est exceptionnel, il s'agit d'un tapis du Roi Louis XIV, le Roi Soleil.  Est-ce un tapis de Versailles? Non, pas du tout. Il s'agit d'un tapis qui était destiné au Louvre, mais qui n'a jamais été installé comme prévu.  Pourtant, il était visible à Paris pour 8 jours seulement.  Est-ce que j'ai pu le voir? Vous le saurez en écoutant cet épisode.  www.onethinginafrenchday.com

Send us a textContact michele at https://www.bookclues.comWhat if a city without modern newspapers learned to think like a public anyway? We sit down with historian Robert Darnton to chart how Paris, from 1748 to 1789, became an information society powered by parades, fireworks, songs, rumor, and street theater. Instead of headlines, “publication” meant a royal herald reading peace aloud while bands played—and a celebration that ended in a deadly crush. Those moments didn't just inform people; they taught them how power felt.Darnton guides us through the mechanisms that carried ideas across a semi-literate city. Literacy gaps were bridged by chapbooks, pamphlets read aloud, graffiti, and unforgettable tunes that turned scandal into memory. We follow the “kingnapping” of Bonnie Prince Charlie, the 1750 child seizures that sparked riots and bloodbath rumors, and the widening gulf as Versailles wrapped itself in secrecy. When Necker printed the royal budget, finance left the king's secret and entered the street, unleashing a public debate about debt, taxes, and responsibility.The church's authority faltered as Jansenist–Jesuit battles collided with deathbed fears, while a witty placard at a sealed graveyard mocked a monarchy that would “forbid miracles.” Royal intimacy became political fuel: Madame de Pompadour's lavish gifts and influence, and Madame du Barry's past, fed poissonnades and police dragnets that still couldn't catch every tune. In the Palais-Royal, crowds staged mock trials for government texts and burned them like verdicts, rehearsing a civic role they were ready to claim.By the late 1780s, few predicted the upheaval to come, but many believed change was possible. The nation, not ministers, should decide taxation; the king should ratify, not conceal. Transatlantic currents—from mythic American virtue to Quaker simplicity—added oxygen. Darnton ties these currents together to show how information flows can erode legitimacy and invite a different future.Listen for a vivid, ground-level view of how culture becomes politics, how performance becomes persuasion, and why the French Revolution reshaped everyday life.

Where in the world am I? In San Diego, talking about Oslo, Norway, Part 2.  Welcome back to the  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. A few months ago, I returned from a 90-day journey around the world, and I'm excited to connect with fellow travelers and share experiences. The FAQ is from Tabitha, who complained and then asked a question: I don't want to share a room because I use a sleeping device that makes a lot of noise. How can I save money on my travel without putting someone else out of their sleep?   Answer:  Sharing a room is a blunt instrument for saving money. If your sleep setup creates friction, the more brilliant move is to optimize timing, location, length of stay, and amenities—not to sacrifice privacy.   Here are seven tips for you, Tabitha, and listeners: ​​ 1. Question where the money is going Before changing lodging, look at the most significant cost drivers: Are you paying for location prestige you don't actually use? Are you staying more nights than needed? Are you locking yourself into inflexible dates? Often, lodging costs drop sharply one or two transit stops away from tourist cores. 2. Choose private rooms in shared properties Many hostels, guesthouses, and homestays offer private rooms with shared kitchens or bathrooms. You avoid roommates entirely. Prices are often 30–50% lower than hotels. Kitchens reduce food costs, which adds up fast. 3. Stay longer, pay less Weekly or monthly rates can dramatically undercut nightly pricing. This works exceptionally well for apartments, apart-hotels, and extended-stay properties. Even adding an extra night can lower the average nightly rate. Ask: Is speed costing me money? 4. Travel slightly off-peak. You don't need to travel in miserable weather to save money. Shoulder seasons often offer the same experience at lower prices. Midweek stays are consistently cheaper than weekends. Airfare and lodging both benefit from this shift. 5. Rethink room features you don't need Be skeptical of "comfort upgrades": Do you actually need daily housekeeping? A view? A large room when you're out most of the day? Smaller, simpler rooms are quieter, cheaper, and often better for sleep devices anyway. 6. Use points and cash together If you collect hotel or credit-card points: Use points for expensive nights. Pay cash for cheaper ones. This hybrid approach stretches value without compromising privacy. 7. Pick accommodations built for solo sleepers Some properties quietly cater to solo travelers: Business hotels Capsule-adjacent private rooms Budget chains with excellent soundproofing These are designed around individual sleep needs, not social lodging. Confidence Challenge in Oslo: If you're new to traveling with accessibility needs, your challenge may be trusting yourself to explore independently. Oslo's infrastructure is excellent, but navigating it alone in a foreign country can feel intimidating. The confidence builder is this: Norwegians are incredibly respectful and willing to help — they'll assist you if you ask, but they'll never intrude. Trust that combination of independence and quiet support.   If you enjoyed today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into trusting your decisions when traveling solo. Get educated. Learn and do in that order. . You can find the series at the link in the description.    See Book A for addressing this concern. Step 5 travel Find it on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's special destination is Oslo, Norway, Part 2 in more depth.   Oslo, Norway, is a breathtaking city embraced by stunning fjords and vibrant forests. Known as one of Europe's most welcoming and forward-thinking capitals, it offers a serene, safe, and modern atmosphere that's ideal for solo women travelers over 50, including those who use wheelchairs or mobility aids.   Explore Parks, History, and Nordic Design Kick off your adventure at the magnificent Vigeland Sculpture Park, one of the largest sculpture parks globally created by a single artist. With its wide, smooth paths, it's easy to explore at your leisure. The park's tranquil ambiance is just perfect for reflection and appreciation of its artistic beauty.       Visiting the Vigeland statues in the park reminds me of Versailles, France. Took Tram 15 directly there. The park features statues of babies, women, and faces, as well as a lovely rose garden. The park is open every day, all hours, and never closes.  My friend from an earlier trip to Sweden that week, Margaret, and her sister drove to Portebakken and Krikkleiva. Notable landscapes included white birch trees and blue skies with clouds. - Weather: 26-28 degrees Celsius.  We had an incredible experience visiting a museum dedicated to the Oslo tragedy involving homegrown terrorism that occurred in November 2011. Here are some highlights that genuinely stood out during our visit: - Exploring the beautiful moss and unique plants at Sundvolden, an outdoor museum just a short 30-minute drive from Selte, was a delightful experience. https://www.visitnorway.com/listings/sundvolden-hotel/279615/   - It was exciting to travel around in a Skoda electric car, showcasing Norway's commitment to sustainability. https://www.skoda-auto.com/emobility/electrified-models - Interestingly, Norway's independence from the EU economically, thanks to its rich agricultural and fishing resources, allows it to prioritize its own interests without contributing to the EU's financial struggles. Next time to see in Oslo….. - A trip to the renowned Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, only 45 minutes away, is definitely a must-see.  Explore Cobenhill, an eco-friendly destination featuring a ski slope, lifts, hiking trails, and a climbing wall, located near the waste-to-energy plant.    Check out The Fram Museum, where you can dive into the incredible tales of Norway's polar explorers. The museum is fully wheelchair accessible, with ramps leading to a replica of the historic polar ship Fram. Just a stone's throw away, the Kon-Tiki Museum awaits, accessible and showcasing Thor Heyerdahl's remarkable voyages.     For a delightful lunch, mentioned in Part 1 on Oslo, why not try one of the local seafood cafés on the scenic Bygdøy (bug-day) Peninsula? Enjoying outdoor seating with stunning fjord views is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the local flavor.   Stroll along Karl Johans Gate, the city's vibrant main pedestrian street filled with charming shops, cozy cafés, and historic architecture. This lovely avenue leads you right to the Royal Palace, surrounded by inviting gardens and easy-to-navigate pathways.   Hop on a tram—most of Oslo's public transportation is low-floor and incredibly wheelchair-friendly—and soak in the enchanting city lights dancing on the water!       My missteps: Language barriers.   Can't pronounce the names, so just do your best as someone from the USA.  Most people speak English. Can't speak the language? Use Duolingo for practice, then keep trying. Fake it until you master it, and apologize in the meantime. People will appreciate that you tried. Thanks for listening, and I'll see you on the next journey.   AI was used to select some of the suggestions for this episode.   Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest onYouTube In the news

Chaque année, le festival des langues classiques met à l'honneur le grec, le latin et le chinois. Cette année, les langues asiatiques sont mises à l'honneur.  Si le grec et le latin se taillent la part du lion, les langues asiatiques s'invitent et parmi elles, le sanscrit et le coréen sont aussi décryptées.  Comment les littératures classiques de l'Inde, de la Chine entretiennent-elles un dialogue vivant avec l'oralité ? Des récits fondateurs aux épopées transmises de génération en génération, la voix demeure au cœur de la mémoire et de la transmission. De quelle manière les formes orales façonnent-elles le texte, nourrissent la pensée et tissent un lien entre passé et présent ?   Il serait réducteur d'affirmer que le sanscrit n'est qu'une langue érudite et sacrée ! Il y a 2000 ans d'histoire littéraire, scientifique. On y trouve des traités d'architecture, d'astronomie mais aussi des belles lettres, du théâtre, des romans ! Cette langue n'a jamais été une langue parlée en tant que telle. Cette langue s'est fait connaitre grâce au Mahabharata, le livre de Véda Vyasa, une grande épopée lyrique qui raconte la guerre des Bharata et qui a donné lieu à de grandes mises en scène de Jean-Claude Carrière ou Peter Brook. Ce texte ainsi que le Ramayana étaient destinés à distraire la cour royale. Ils vont connaître la postérité et avoir un impact majeur et vont influencer des auteurs tels que Salman Rushdie ou Thomas Mann.  Quant à la langue coréenne, son histoire est très intéressante : son alphabet a été créé au XVè siècle. Environ 2/3 de son lexique provient de la langue chinoise classique : le hanmun. Le chinois classique était aussi une grande langue de lettrés et de traduction.

Au début des années 1930, l'Allemagne est officiellement désarmée. Le traité de Versailles, signé après la Première Guerre mondiale, lui interdit de posséder une armée moderne, des chars, une aviation de combat et limite drastiquement ses effectifs. Pourtant, quelques années plus tard, le régime nazi parvient à lancer un réarmement massif, rapide et discret. Comment financer cet effort colossal sans attirer l'attention ? La réponse tient en grande partie à un instrument financier aussi ingénieux que trompeur : les bons MEFO.Derrière ce nom se cache une société écran, la Metallurgische Forschungsgesellschaft, ou MEFO, créée spécialement pour servir d'intermédiaire financier. Officiellement, cette entreprise est privée. En réalité, elle est contrôlée par l'État allemand. Son rôle est simple : émettre des effets de paiement destinés à régler les commandes militaires.Lorsqu'une entreprise allemande fabrique des armes, des munitions ou des équipements pour l'armée, elle n'est pas payée directement par le gouvernement. Elle reçoit des bons MEFO, c'est-à-dire des reconnaissances de dette portant intérêt. Ces titres promettent un remboursement ultérieur par l'État, mais ne figurent pas immédiatement dans les comptes publics.Les industriels peuvent conserver ces bons jusqu'à leur échéance, ou bien les échanger contre des liquidités auprès des banques. Les banques, de leur côté, acceptent ces titres car elles savent que l'État allemand en garantit secrètement le remboursement. La Reichsbank elle-même finit par accepter ces bons comme s'il s'agissait presque de monnaie.Résultat : l'Allemagne peut commander massivement du matériel militaire sans augmenter officiellement ses dépenses publiques ni faire tourner la planche à billets. Les bons MEFO agissent ainsi comme une monnaie parallèle, circulant dans l'économie en dehors des statistiques traditionnelles.L'ampleur du système est impressionnante. En 1935, l'encours des bons MEFO atteint environ 4,8 milliards de marks, alors que la masse monétaire officielle du pays tourne autour de 6 milliards de marks. Autrement dit, une part considérable de l'activité économique repose sur cet instrument invisible.Ce mécanisme présente plusieurs avantages pour le régime nazi. D'abord, il masque l'ampleur réelle du réarmement aux yeux des puissances étrangères. Ensuite, il stimule l'économie allemande : les usines tournent, l'emploi progresse, les commandes publiques affluent. Enfin, il limite en apparence l'inflation, puisque la création monétaire n'apparaît pas directement dans les chiffres officiels.Mais cette solution est aussi une fuite en avant. Les bons MEFO sont des dettes qu'il faudra bien honorer un jour. À partir de la fin des années 1930, leur remboursement commence à peser lourdement sur les finances allemandes.En résumé, les bons MEFO ont permis à l'Allemagne nazie de financer clandestinement son réarmement, de contourner Versailles et de préparer la guerre sous couvert d'un montage financier sophistiqué. Une démonstration saisissante du pouvoir de la finance… lorsqu'elle est mise au service d'un projet politique radical. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Should a breastfeeding mom arrested for drugs get less jail time?Should a parent who assaults someone get a lighter sentence just because they have kids?Kentucky Senate Bill 122 (just out of committee) would force judges to consider parental status—including breastfeeding—for more lenient sentences on “non-violent” felonies. Kentucky still labels second-degree assault (stabbings, severe beatings, strangulation), assault under extreme emotional disturbance, and more as “non-violent” for parole purposes. That's why Ronald Exantus, who stabbed 6-year-old Logan in Versailles, got early release despite a 20-year sentence—sparking Logan's Law.If anything, parents committing crimes are victimizing their own children too. This bill codifies unequal justice: same crime, different punishment based on having kids. Justice should be blind.Also:- The bare-bones state budget—no earmarks.- Good bills to support: HB 189 (bans dangerous panhandling on highways) & HB 4 (criminalizes teacher grooming).- Snow/ice removal failures across KY (Lexington lying about salt; road crews rewarded for using the least salt?).- Northern KY Against ICE's ridiculous “whistle kits” to help criminal illegal immigrants avoid deportation.

Mein Kampf est sans doute l'un des livres politiques les plus célèbres — et les plus sinistres — du XXᵉ siècle. Rédigé par Adolf Hitler dans les années 1920, il y expose son idéologie, son antisémitisme radical, sa vision raciale du monde et ses ambitions territoriales. Pourtant, un fait méconnu intrigue les historiens : Hitler lui-même s'est opposé à ce que son livre soit traduit et diffusé en français au début des années 1930. Une attitude paradoxale pour un homme obsédé par la propagande. Mais derrière ce refus se cache un calcul stratégique très précis.Au début des années 1930, l'Allemagne est encore affaiblie par les conséquences de la Première Guerre mondiale et par les contraintes du traité de Versailles. Son armée est limitée, ses frontières surveillées, et une partie de son territoire reste sous contrôle étranger. Face à elle, la France dispose d'une puissance militaire supérieure et d'un réseau d'alliances solide en Europe.Or, dans Mein Kampf, Hitler désigne explicitement la France comme un ennemi majeur de l'Allemagne. Il y décrit le pays comme un obstacle central au redressement allemand et affirme que la puissance française doit être brisée pour permettre l'expansion du Reich. Ces passages ne laissent aucun doute sur ses intentions futures.Lorsque, en 1934, une maison d'édition française publie une traduction complète de Mein Kampf, l'objectif est clair : alerter l'opinion publique. L'ouvrage est présenté comme un avertissement. Certains responsables politiques et militaires estiment qu'il faut prendre Hitler au mot, et comprendre que son arrivée au pouvoir constitue une menace directe.Cette initiative provoque la colère du dirigeant nazi. Non pas parce que ses idées sont déformées, mais au contraire parce qu'elles sont exposées trop fidèlement. Hitler engage alors une action juridique pour faire interdire cette version en France, et obtient gain de cause.Pourquoi cette volonté de censure ? Parce qu'en 1934, Hitler n'est pas encore prêt à affronter militairement la France. Il est en phase de réarmement, cherche à gagner du temps, et tente de projeter une image rassurante à l'étranger. Il multiplie les discours évoquant la paix, la réconciliation, et le respect des frontières occidentales.Laisser circuler une traduction montrant clairement sa haine de la France ruinerait cette stratégie diplomatique. Elle risquerait de provoquer un durcissement immédiat de Paris, voire une réaction préventive.En revanche, en 1938, dans un contexte politique radicalement différent, Hitler accepte la publication d'une nouvelle traduction française… mais expurgée. Les passages les plus agressifs envers la France sont supprimés ou édulcorés. Cette version « nettoyée » sert à entretenir l'illusion d'un dirigeant raisonnable, alors même que l'Europe se rapproche de la guerre.Ainsi, si Hitler a refusé la traduction fidèle de Mein Kampf en français, ce n'est pas par pudeur idéologique, mais par pur opportunisme. Il voulait dissimuler ses véritables objectifs. Ironiquement, ceux qui avaient tenté d'alerter la France dès 1934 avaient vu juste. Le livre disait déjà ce que l'homme ferait ensuite.

INSIDE IRAN: CONFRONTING REVOLUTIONARY FIGURES AND UNCOVERING THE DOUBLE COUPColleague Craig Unger. Unger describes his 2014 trip to Tehran to find Iranian corroboration for the October Surprise. He visited the former US Embassy, now a "Den of Spies" museum documenting the 1953 CIA coup against Mossadegh, which remains a source of deep grievance. Unger secured a rare interview with Mohsen Rafighdoost, a founder of the Revolutionary Guards and Khomeini's driver. During the interview, Rafighdoost slipped, saying "If we met with the Republicans..."—a moment Unger captured on video. Unger also interviewed Abolhassan Banisadr, the ousted first president of the Islamic Republic, in Versailles. Banisadr provided documents confirming the plot, describing it as a "double coup": it removed Carter in the US and allowed hardliners to consolidate power in Iran by undermining moderates like himself.
