Battle of the Little Bighorn - Part 4
This 9:39 long video does an excellent job of recreating the battle using evidence from the Little Bighorn battlefield that suggests
that members of the 7th Cavalry may have retreated in panic at "Calhoun Hill."Eyewitness testimony, from the warriors, indicates the cohesiveness of Custer's fighting units changed at Little Bighorn.

"It Fell On A Summer's Day" by Thomas Campion (poetry reading)
Giacomo Casanova, the great seducer, said, "Men deceive women but it's not important. In matters of love, as a general rule, men and women deceive each other."

So, to seduce a woman, you have to

La France a-t-elle encore une identité géographique ? / Armand Frémont
Texte de présentation de la conférence
L’identité de la France est un objet obscur. Le territoire national avait trouvé son aboutissement à la frontière physique. Aujourd’hui la solidarité, la socialité et l’être ensemble ne se définissent plus uniquement par référence à une étendue spatiale continue sur laquelle s’exerce la souveraineté de l’État-national. Les frontières qui se dessinent à travers les réseaux sociaux ou la conscience partagée d’
