La véritable histoire de d'Artagnan | ARTE

La véritable histoire de Charles de Batz de Castelmore, dit d’Artagnan, qui a inspiré l’intrépide mousquetaire de Dumas. De la légende littéraire au personnage historique, l’amateur de cape et d’épée ne perd pas au change…

C’est le Gascon le plus célèbre au monde. Depuis la parution en 1844 des Trois mousquetaires, d’Artagnan a acquis une renommée inégalable, grâce à la traduction du livre d’Alexandre Dumas en une centaine de langues et à ses dizaines d’adaptations à l’écran. De Douglas Fairbanks à Gene Kelly en passant par Belmondo ou Jean Marais, le compagnon d’Athos, Porthos et Aramis fait partie des héros les plus incarnés au cinéma. Personnage de légende, d’Artagnan n’est pourtant pas une fiction. Né aux alentours de 1615, Charles de Batz de Castelmore, dit d’Artagnan, connut même une existence aussi fascinante que celle de son double littéraire : plongé au cœur des complots de la Fronde, qui menaçaient la royauté, le capitaine-lieutenant devint l'agent secret du cardinal Mazarin, puis l'homme de confiance de Louis XIV, pour lequel il arrêta Fouquet et combattit à travers toute l'Europe.

C’est l’histoire d’une double métamorphose que raconte cette enquête historique aux allures de jeu de piste : celle, à rebours, d’un personnage littéraire devenant sous nos yeux un homme réel au cœur de l’histoire ; celle, aussi, d’un jeune provincial qui connaît une ascension prodigieuse pour devenir l’un des favoris du Roi-Soleil. Entre les faits romancés par le génie de Dumas, puis décuplés par le septième art, et les grandes lignes d’une vie hors du commun, la légende de d’Artagnan s’enrichit d’une densité imprévue. Un héros pour tous, tous pour… la vérité historique !

La Locomotive Diesel-Electrique "SD40T-2" a été construite par General Motors Electro-Motive Division aux États-Unis en 1974 et sera produite en 321 exemplaires jusqu'en 1980. Portant le nom populaire de "Tunnel Motors" sera acheté par les compagnies de la "Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad", "St. Louis Southwestern Railway" et par Southern Pacific Railroad" au nombre respective de 73, 10 et 229 machines. Bien que grandement similaire avec la locomotive cousine "SD45T-2", la locomotive "SD40T-2" possède une modification spécifique de refroidissement, permettant ainsi un meilleur refroidissement du moteur dans les zones montagneuses et ses radiateurs et entrée d'air, sont situé aussi plus bas que sur sa cousine, la "SD45T-2".

Équipée d'un moteur diesel EMD 645E3 qui possède une puissance 750 à 4,200 ch et qui sera produit de 1965 à 1983 puis dans une proportion limitée jusqu'aux années 1990. Décliné en plusieurs modèles (V6, V8, V12, V16 et V20), ce moteur sera le successeur du EMD 567. En 1951, Eugene William Kettering écrira pour l'ASME le texte connu sous le nom de "History and Development of the 567 Series General Motors Locomotive Engine" pour détailler avec grande précision le développement du moteur, ainsi que les obstacles techniques rencontrés lors de ce dernier. Le 645 et la série de moteurs diesel suivant, le 710 auront les mêmes considérations appliquées, permettant ainsi aux 710 de possédé une plus grande puissance.

Locomotive utilisée en tant que "Road Switcher", ou simplement une "Locomotive de Manoeuvre de Route" en français, est une locomotive conçue pour aller chercher ou livrer des wagons à l'extérieur d'un triage. Originaire de l'Amérique du Nord, le terme est donc inventé par eux, ainsi que le concept, bien que des modèles similaires sont présents ailleurs dans le monde. La première locomotive de ce type sera l'Alco RS-1 qui sera produite lorsque le Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad approchera la société Alco dans l'optique de trouver une locomotive qui répondra à leurs besoins de locotracteurs et de locomotive de route. Dans l'histoire, seul trois firme se sont essayer à la construction de telle machines, Alco, Fairbanks, Morse and Company et Electro-Motive Diesel. La locomotive qui aura le plus de succès sera la EMD GP7 de Electro-Motive Diesel.

"WHAT IS WEIGHT OF TROTZKY, PARK BEAR?" Vancouver Sun. May 31, 1934. Page 3. --- GUESSERS CLAIM HE'S LARGEST IN CAPTIVITY --- How big is Trotzy, the Russian bear in Stanley Park? That's a question that has caused Vancouver Park Commissioners to toss fitfully in their sleep, because the annual crop of questions about Trotzky's weight and dimensions is now being harvested.

Is Trotzky the biggest captive bear in the world? How long is he from stem to gudgeon, or whatever it is they measure bears from and to? What does he heft, avoir-dupois, troy, or what is it they use to gauge the bulk of bears? The Park Commissioners don't know, and their trusty henchmen, including C. R. Green, zoo manager, don't know either.

If there were any semblance of agreement among Vancouver's amateur and professional bear weight guessers there might be established what could be offhandedly referred to as a consensus of opinion on Trotzky's weight. But what can you do when the guesses start at, say, 500 pounds and end up at somewhere around a ton?

And the settlement of the arguments about Trotzky's weight seems to have reached what writers are fond of calling an impasse. It would appear that there is no way to weigh him owing to his habit of taking apart anything that he can reach, from peanuts to, presumably, a set of scales.

Of Trotzky it may be truly said that in his bearish playfulness he doesn't know his own strength, and on top of that he has a disposition like a bear named Trotzky would naturally have.

Gentlemen who have weighed everything from a gnat's metabolism to the sun - including Mr. Fairbanks-Morse himself - have come from afar, taken one look at Trotzky and have gone home talking to themselves.

In the meantime the more civic-spirit-Conscious of Vancouver's citizenry are claiming that Trotzky is the world's champ among captive bears. A few admit that a polar bear or two in famous zoos are bigger, but all unite in acclaiming him as the titleholder among brunette bears. And who can say them nay until some lad comes forward with his certified weight and a better story?

The only evidence I have to the contrary is blink-and-you-miss-it, but I definitely don't think the show was saying "Peter was right and Jason was wrong and a bad person"— Days crawl by / I ask myself again... Should I have waited?

Nooo my son you'll be asking that your whole life. 😭 when the answer is obviously yes though. yes, you should've waited.

There's a French saying, "les absents ont toujours tort (the absent are always in the wrong)" and I think that applies to how easy it became to dismiss Jason as unreasonable or maliciously wishy-washy when the show does a lot less attitude-coaching about what we're supposed to think about Jason. If "Role of a Lifetime" remained a Jason song, maybe that wouldn't have happened... But I also think this lack of attitude-coaching is a crucial feature. Marginalized people SHOULDN'T HAVE TO keep on explaining why and how they/we do everything, we shouldn't have to be superhumanly perfect and nice only so that people in the hegemony deign to extend rights and tolerance. This doesn't mean "so you can all diversify the serial-killer demographic, and then blame the world for not being more understanding of this exciting new hobby of being a serial killer; diversity win!"—in this very specific context, I am only saying that it's good sometimes for an audience to have to do some heavy lifting.

I keep using the phrase "attitude-coaching" and I got that from Donald Horton and R. Richard Wohl in their 1956 academic paper about Para-Social relationships in television shows and radio—and they got the phrase "attitude-coaching" from Kenneth Burke who was criticizing how history is taught at American schools (...making kids get low-key parasocial about Benjamin Franklin...) While the television personalities that Horton and Wohl studied were manipulative because that's how the industry operates (that if it works then yes corporate sponsors and executives sure are going to make lonely viewers feel loved by a made-up person that can't love them back)—there are other barriers to making that connection that Horton and Wohl noted, such as: the gender gap, or depictions of too-exotic ethnic minorities, or even if the style is too high-brow, then there's a breakdown in developing that para-social connection...and I personally think audiences would benefit more from going outside their comfort zone of "entertained by lovable blorbos" and try to understand or sympathize with characters like Jason who CAN be played as rather a cocky teenaged jerk, and I think that directorial/acting choice is an extra challenge to audiences to wonder what his deal is, and I think that's a very good thing. (The comments under Dalles Wilie's performance of "You and I" sometimes being like ohhh we're supposed to like Jason. Jason is likable. And then he actually looks at the ringing phone in the middle of One, and then pulls a crying Ivy downstage by the arm near the end of Promise—these were all effective choices to depict a complicated character. A lot of the Korean stagings of Ever After have Jason be a LOT more hostile and violent, while Justin Ivan Brown's Jason gets to play Ever After with a lot more himbo softness. Does it matter which of those versions is really Jason McConnell? Or is it overall, "Can't sympathize because he's a white man" take that I catch every so often like my siblings in christ his story gets slightly more complicated than that. When Jahlil M. Burke plays him then Jason McConnell joins the ranks of imploding golden boy of color along with Simon Basset and Troy Fairbanks.)

once again not really canon but when jason says "i'm just not ready / wait for me" to peter in best kept secret and when jason says "let's tell your mother whose whole existence is built around micromanaging other people's lives so then she can call my mother who will immediately tell my dad and the two of them can rush down here to conference with father. that is if they don't get me out of here first to send me away to one of those camps to get cured. or maybe i can ask notre dame for a leave of absence while i deal with a sexual identity crisis. or maybe my dad will just beat the shit out of me and then disown me" to peter in reputation stain'd

like imagine you're just a 17yo closeted teenager and you're telling your boyfriend/best friend hey i get why you want to come out but this is really not the ideal situation for me because if that happens the outcomes for me are 1) conversion therapy 2) domestic violence 3) losing my career prospects and you're trying your best to keep your friends happy and keep your parents happy and keep your teachers happy and keep your boyfriend happy but in the end he doesn't listen to you and almost outs you to your catholic priest and eventually outs you to the guy who hates you the most in your class and so you indeed lose your entire social standing + your whole friends group + your boyfriend like a self-fulfilling prophecy and when you beg them all to forgive you (even tho you did nothing wrong in the first place and only tried to make everyone happy and always "thought for all the best" (as per reputation stain'd)) none of them listen to you and so you kill yourself but the fandom doesn't care and homophobic sheltered american teens online are saying you're actually the villain. anyway i'm very normal about this

[dablkeffect]

Lionel was OBVIOUSLY attracted to Troy... I mean who wasn’t! The writers could have had them hook up or whatever. Instead he showcased a beautiful bromance between a straight black man and a black gay man. that was dope!

[a-drought-of-thoughts]

Dear white people is such a perfectly balanced show bec there are characters I love but don't find esp attractive (Lionel, Troy), there are those I would want to jump in a second but aren't my favs (Reggie, Sam, Gabe) and then there's Coco who I would both die and kill for.
