Los Angeles est une ville étrange. On y découvre
à la fois le rêve hollywoodien et le cauchemar des
ghettos, mais aussi la multitude de foodtrucks
stationnés devant les musées ou encore un opéra
à l’architecture grandiose de Frank Gehry. C’est la
ville du bout du monde, celle où l’on finit forcément par arriver quand on décide de traverser
la totalité des Etats-Unis, comme ont pu le faire
avant nous les pionniers avides d’or au milieu du
XIXème siècle. La « cité des Anges » possède à
la fois un passé prestigieux et est synonyme de
modernité. Elle est multiple.

Attentats : A qui la faute ?
 B2-C1
Une chose est certaine : c’est une cité construite
pour l’automobile. La majeure partie de la ville
est constituée d’immenses zones pavillonnaires
où les bâtiments dépassent rarement les 4 ou 5
étages. Si l’on combine cela à un accroissement
constant de la population, le visiteur désireux de
se déplacer à pied réalisera vite qu’il est impossible d’aller d’un point à un autre en moins de
quelques heures. Dans certains quartiers huppés,
comme Beverly Hills par exemple, le simple fait
de marcher sur un trottoir peut même vous rendre immédiatement suspect ! Alors tout le monde
prend sa voiture. Seuls les plus démunis utilisent
les rares transports en commun. Et pourtant,
découvrir la ville en déambulant reste un plaisir…
tout dépend du quartier où l’on se trouve !

A customer looks over weapons for sale at the Pony Express Firearms
shop in Parker, Colorado December 7, 2015. Many Americans are
stocking up on weapons after the country's worst mass shooting in
three years. Gun retailers are reporting surging sales, with customers
saying they want to keep handguns and rifles at hand for self-defense
in the event of another attack. A majority of states actively restrict
access to information on gun permits, the FBI must destroy
background checks and Congress bans funding for research.

Gov. Terry Branstad said he won’t support
arming Iowa teachers with guns to combat
the threat of mass murderers in schools,
adding that while he backs the Second
Amendment, the issue is too divisive for
debate by state lawmakers. Iowa schools are
currently gun-free zones, and Branstad told
reporters he believes the policy should remain
in place. Some Iowa gun advocates have
urged the Legislature to eliminate gun-free
zones in schools, saying Iowans should be
allowed to defend themselves when faced
with the potential of mass violence.
Mayor of London Boris Johnson has called on
UK PM David Cameron to seek a Danish-style
opt-out of European Union rules so he can
push through his plan to block benefits going
to EU migrants. The Prime Minister has faced
strong opposition to his plan to make migrant
workers wait four years before they can claim
in-work benefits such as tax credits. In his
weekly Daily Telegraph column Mr Johnson
warned EU leaders that they were "radically
and dangerously misreading" Mr Cameron
by thinking he wants to stay in the EU
at "any price."
A recently elected Labour MP has pledged to
openly “knife” Jeremy Corbyn as party leader
if it becomes clear he cannot win the next
general election. Jess Phillips, who was
elected in May to the Birmingham Yardley
seat, said she regularly criticised the Labour
leader and his office in person and preferred
open criticism to behind-the-scenes
leadership plotting. “I’ve said that to him and
his staff to their faces - the day it comes that
you are hurting us more than you are helping
us, I won’t knife you in the back – I’ll knife you
in the front.”

LA, AS A PEDESTRIAN
Découverte de Los Angeles à pied
Pour vous rendre à pied du « centre ville » de Los Angeles aux plages de Santa Monica, à l’ouest, il faut compter 5h30. Pour aller
d’Universal City, au nord de la ville, jusqu’au quartier de Watts au sud, misez plutôt sur 7 heures sans vous arrêter. La ville s'étend
sur 1 290,6 km2 ! Malgré les distances, marcher pour la découvrir n’est pas forcément une mauvaise idée…
L
OS ANGELES - Had I been driving I
would not have stopped here. But I
was lured from the sidewalk by an open gate
and the mysterious buildings beyond. There
was a Moorish structure with a minaret,
another was Italian with a loggia, a third had
a fleur-de-lis on a chimney. It was as if a snow
globe village had been dropped onto Sunset
Boulevard. At the back of the hushed lot, a
stone statue, naked to her hips, stood sentry.

Age gangster named Charlie Crawford was
murdered. In 1936 these fanciful buildings,
commissioned by his widow, became Crossroads of the World, the first pedestrian
outdoor shopping mall in Los Angeles. In the
1940s it was recast as an office complex, attracting such tenants as Alfred Hitchcock.
Today, the complex calls to mind the scene
in “Big” where Tom Hanks returns to an
abandoned fairground in search of a wish-
making machine. There’s magic in the air,
even after the carnival has come and gone.
3. Visit
Los Angeles as a solo traveler and
you’ll find few better ways to unmask the
city’s hidden-in-plain-sight history, meet
other people and imbibe responsibly than to
be car-free. (And consider the money you’ll
save on gas and valets.) This is not to scorn
the car, which offers its own pleasures. It’s a

Los Angeles
Los Angeles has a
complicated relationship
with the car. The city was
molded throughout the
mid- and late- Twentieth
Century to rely on them, but
as it filled up, they started
to feel more and more like
little metal prisons. Over
the past 20 years, LA has
started to rebuild its lost
public transit system, and
Angelenos have gradually
been driving less and riding
buses and trains more.

art. But driving can complicate a solo trip,
and those who would rather not brave Los
Angeles traffic should know that they need
not see the city from behind a wheel to relish
it. Some of its most beloved
citizens, including the author Ray Bradbury, never
drove. And while walking
is common downtown and
in Venice Beach and Santa
Monica, in cooler months
one can just as easily traverse Los Angeles between
West Hollywood, Los Feliz,
Miracle Mile and Larchmont Village by putting one
foot in front of the other (with help now and
then from mass transit and Uber). In fact,
local tourism officials are encouraging people to do just that.

4. Granted, strolling Los Angeles can be any-
thing but picturesque. There are wide, noisy
boulevards with scant shade. If you’re a
woman, men in cars may
greet you with “Yowza!” as
they whiz by. Sometimes, to
borrow a phrase from Shel
Silverstein, the sidewalk
ends. But just when you
think walking these interminable avenues is for East
Coast chumps, something
makes you smile. Take the
white Tudor-style building
that caught my eye on an
otherwise humdrum stretch of North La Brea
Avenue. A second glance revealed a trompel’oeil image of a grinning Charlie Chaplin
leaning on a cane. From there my gaze

enough and you realize that here in this
megalopolis of cars are quiet wonders, like
the surprisingly ubiquitous sight of hummingbirds hovering around storefronts and
terraces.

6. When you’re car-free and solo, one of the
easiest places to nest is West Hollywood.
There’s plenty of shopping, dining and night
life, and the central location makes it a great
base for jaunts to other neighborhoods. Hotels dot the Sunset Strip (once the stamping
grounds of numerous larger-than-life personalities including members of the Doors
and Led Zeppelin) and a walk from here to
the La Brea Tar Pits is a mere 3 miles.
THE OBSERVATORY
7. The
air becomes fragrant near the corner
of Fern Dell Drive and Los Feliz Boulevard
on the edges of Griffith Park, the largest
municipal park with an urban wilderness
area in the United States. The whir of traffic
- which I’d been walking amid for 4 miles faded, and soon all I heard was the brook as
I entered the woods, stepping on fallen sycamore leaves, yellow with pointed lobes, like
stars on the Walk of Fame.
8. Near
the top of the trail to the Griffith
Observatory (James Dean fans may recall the
“Rebel Without a Cause” scene shot here)
there’s a rocky shortcut, which I began ascending in delicate French sneakers. It wasn’t long
before I was sliding back down. A woman in
gym shoes bounced past me like a gazelle.
“You’re almost there!” she shouted over her
shoulder as she reached the summit. “Thanks!”
I said, on my hands and knees, clutching a
small boulder. “I wore the wrong shoes.”
9. The view at the top took the sting out of my
ungainly arrival. Hawks circled and plunged
toward the enormous silver city basin. In the
distance, the ocean beckoned. I will not recount
how I began skidding down yet another shortcut off the Mount Hollywood hiking trail, but
suffice it to say that when it came time to leave,
I wanted the most direct, not the scenic, route
out. And I thought I was on it as I followed the
sidewalk down from the observatory parking

THE ECONOMIST
VANS OF THE RICH
AND GRIDLOCKED
Véhicules de luxe customisés pour affronter les
embouteillages à Los Angeles
On appelle cela un paradoxe : Los Angeles est une ville terriblement étendue, au tissu
urbain conçu pour la circulation automobile, et pourtant, elle est chroniquement
victime d’embouteillages monstres. Un entrepreneur astucieux a trouvé la parade
pour éviter de faire perdre leur temps aux plus fortunés de ses clients…
I
hate driving in Los Angeles—the traffic
makes you want to shoot yourself,” says
Dr Dre, a rapper. So he buys wheels from
Becker Automotive Design, a Californian
firm that customises rides for the rich and
gridlocked. His latest purchase is a stretched
Cadillac Escalade with a flat-screen television
and a digital system that allows him to
browse his home film library in the car. “I
like to close the curtains, relax and watch
Martin Scorsese films,” says Dr Dre.
2. Todd
Doney, a property broker, used to
spend three or four hours a day stuck behind
the wheel of his Bentley. Now he spends
that time talking to clients on the telephone,
returning e-mails, and going over documents. His chauffeur-driven car is, in effect,
a tricked-out mobile office. “I feel like I’m
beating the system because I can work while
everyone else is stuck in traffic,” he says.

3. For three years in a row, congestion in Los
Angeles has been the worst in America. That
is good news for Howard Becker, the founder
of Becker Automotive. He began his business
in the 1970s, installing sound systems for the
Beverly Hills glitterati. Today, he customises
cars and vans for clients such as Mark Wahlberg, an actor, and King Abdullah of Jordan.
4. The vans take up to seven months to complete and come with such features as touchscreen computers, wireless Internet, cable
TV, seats for half a dozen people, bathrooms—
and, in one case, an exercise bicycle welded
to the floor so the owner could work out.
5. Becker cars are not cheap: they range from
$150,000 for a basic rolling palace to more

Poor kitties
Two Swedish women have been banned from keeping animals after authorities
found they had treated their cats as makeshift babies. Several anonymous reports prompted animal protection officers to visit the women's homes last autumn. It emerged that the pair had pushed their cats around in pushchairs.
They had spoon-fed the cats while keeping them strapped to highchairs, and
had also let the animals suck on pacifiers. One woman also confessed she regularly let her cat suckle on her breast. The two cats were taken into the care of
animal protection officers.
Eric Holland, 80, was working in his shed
when he emerged to find a 1.5-metre-long
goanna in his backyard in Thurgoona, near
Albury in New South Wales. "I couldn't have
been more shocked if a Martian had landed,"
he said. Mr Holland said he had lived in his
home for 18 years and had never seen a
goanna as big as this one. "It blew the
cobwebs out of me," he said.

GLENN GREENWALD
WHY THE CIA IS
SMEARING SNOWDEN
Edward Snowden, bouc émissaire rêvé de la CIA
Glenn Greenwald, un journaliste politique, avocat, et écrivain américain est le premier
à avoir publié les révélations d'Edward Snowden sur les programmes de surveillance
de masse des citoyens, entreprises et états du monde entier par la NSA. Suite aux
attentats du 13 novembre dernier à Paris, il décrypte les faiblesses du système de
défense américain.
D
ecent people see tragedy and barbarism when viewing a terrorism
attack. American politicians and intelligence
officials see something else: opportunity.
Bodies were still lying in the streets of Paris
when CIA operatives began exploiting the
resulting fear and anger to advance longstanding political agendas.
They and their congressional allies instantly attempted
to heap blame for the atrocity not on Islamic State but
on several preexisting adversaries: Internet encryption,
Silicon Valley’s privacy policies and Edward Snowden.
Silicon Valley’s privacy safeguards, claiming:
“I have asked for help. And I haven’t gotten
any help.”
2. The
CIA’s former acting
director, Michael Morell,
blamed the Paris attack on Internet companies “building encryption without keys,”
which, he said, was caused by the debate over
surveillance prompted by Snowden’s disclosures. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., blamed
shifting tactic is understandable. After all, the CIA, the
NSA and similar agencies receive billions of
dollars annually from Congress and have been
vested by their Senate overseers with virtually unlimited spying power. They have one
paramount mission: find and stop people who

CIA chief James Woolsey said
Snowden “has blood on his hands” because, he
asserted, the Paris attackers learned from his
disclosures how to hide their
communications behind encryption. Woolsey thus decreed on CNN that the NSA
whistleblower should be
“hanged by the neck until
he’s dead, rather than merely
electrocuted.”

are plotting terrorist attacks. When they fail,
of course they are desperate to blame others.
5. The CIA’s blame-shifting game, aside from
being self-serving, was deceitful in the extreme. To begin with, there still is no evidence that the perpetrators in Paris used the
Internet to plot their attacks, let alone used
encryption technology. CIA officials simply
made that up. It is at least equally likely that
the attackers formulated their plans in faceto-face meetings. The central premise of the
CIA’s campaign — encryption enabled the
attackers to evade our detection — is baseless.

the CIA and FBI from “going dark” on terrorism plots that are planned in person,
should we put Orwellian surveillance monitors in every room of every home that can
be activated whenever someone is suspected
of plotting?
7. The claim that the Paris attackers learned
to use encryption from Snowden is even
more misleading. For many years before
anyone heard of Snowden, the U.S. government repeatedly warned that terrorists
were using highly advanced means of
evading American surveillance. Then-FBI
Director Louis Freeh told a Senate panel in
March 2000 that “uncrackable encryption
is allowing terrorists — Hamas, Hezbollah,
al-Qaida and others — to communicate
about their criminal intentions without
fear of outside intrusion.”

8. Snowden
did not tell the terrorists anything they did not already know. The terrorists
have known for years that the U.S. government is trying to monitor their communications. What the Snowden disclosures actually revealed to the world was that the U.S.
government is monitoring the Internet communications and activities of everyone else:
hundreds of millions of innocent people under
the largest program of suspicionless mass
surveillance ever created, a program that
multiple federal judges have ruled is illegal
and unconstitutional.
9. That
is why intelligence officials are so
eager to demonize Snowden: rage that he
exposed their secret, unconstitutional
schemes. But their ultimate goal is not to
smear Snowden. That’s just a side benefit.
The real objective is to depict Silicon Valley

as terrorist-helpers for the crime of offering
privacy protections to Internet users, in order
to force those companies to give the U.S.
government “backdoor” access into everyone’s communications. American intelligence
agencies have been demanding “backdoor”
access to encryption since the mid-1990s.
They view exploitation of the outrage and
fear resulting from the Paris attacks as their
best opportunity yet to achieve this access.
10. The key lesson of the post-9/11 abuses —
from Guantanamo to torture to the invasion
of Iraq — is that we must not allow military
and intelligence officials to exploit the fear
of terrorism to manipulate public opinion.
Rather than blindly believe their assertions,
we must test those claims for accuracy. In
the wake of the Paris attacks, that lesson is
more urgent than ever. ●

APPLE COUNTY,

GHOST
Inde : l'héritage mi-amer d'un aventurier controversé
Le Garhwal est une très ancienne région du nord de l'Inde, à la frontière du Tibet dans la chaine de l'Himalaya. C’est là que se situe
le petit village d’Harsil. Pour attirer les touristes et mieux vendre leurs produits locaux, ses habitants espèrent capitaliser sur la
présence du fantôme d’un Anglais ayant vécu chez eux… au XIXème siècle !
L
ittle known to the outside world, this
quaint hamlet tucked in the Uttarakhand Himalayas produces in equal measure
juicy apples and juicier ghost stories — both
linked to each other. Orchards are the signs
that nurture the legend of Pahari Wilson or
Raja Wilson — the local names for British
adventurer Frederick E Wilson, an army
deserter from the mid-19th century, who
introduced apples and timber trade to this
sleepy Himalayan nook.
2. Wilson lies buried in an English cemetery
in Mussoorie now but in this village, a pit
stop for pilgrims on the way to Gangotri,
locals see him almost everywhere. “His ghost
has been spotted on several occasions by
villagers, especially on full moon nights,”
says Dayaram Semwal, a Harsil native and
priest at the Gangotri shrine.

3. But why does the spirit of an Englishman,
who lived in a double-storey timber bungalow
with his two local wives, haunt god-fearing
villagers? For many, he is the Holy Ghost of
Harsil. Agrees Bahadur Singh, an apple grower, saying the sightings of “Raja Hulseyn
(another of his local names) ka
bhoot” are a reminder of the
Englishman’s legacy; how
much the village owes to him.
COME AND SEE
THE GHOST!
4. His legacy came to the fore
moted as a separate tourism circuit with an
aim to attract international travellers, says AK
Dwivedi, the additional director of tourism.
5. Folk
singer Rajanikant Semwal, who belongs to the region, recalls how as a child he
grew up hearing tales about
the man who brought rajma or
kidney beans and the crunchy
Wilson apples to Harsil. “He
was a wealthy man who set
the money rolling in the region.” But the legend of Wilson
has a dark side to it. Many
people loathed him for his unrestrained loot of natural resources, untrammeled hunting of wildlife and the ruthless slave labour
he encouraged to become one of India’s
richest men of his time through timber trade
with the railways.

Garhwal is the northwestern region and administrative division of the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand.
Lying in the Himalayas, it is bounded on the north by Tibet, on the east by Kumaon region, on the south by
Uttar Pradesh state, and on the northwest by Himachal Pradesh state.
Semwal says a local deity cursed
Wilson that his lineage will not survive because of his sins — looting the region’s natural splendour. “In fact, even his huge wood
mansion was gutted in a fire, perhaps a result
of that curse.” Uttarakhand-based historian
Lokesh Ohri disagrees on this count. “Locals
were happy with the crunchy cash crop he
had given, saved many from the tyranny of
the Tehri Raja of Garhwal. His anti-environment activities gained traction only in the
modern times.”

Englishman’s gutted bungalow gave
way to a forest department cottage, named

apples and natural beauty have spun Bollywood dreams too. Showman Raj Kapoor
chose this place to shoot his Ram Teri Ganga

are the most visible outgrowth of a broader trend. According to
Mintel, a consultancy, 41% of American men
do not shave daily, including half of those
aged 18 to 24. Ralph Marburger of Just for
Men, a hair-colouring company, says this is
partly the result of increasingly casual workplaces, where
clean chins are no longer mandatory. In some industries they
may even attract suspicion.

Yet few of the competing

though many were dressed in
unusual garb. The smell of

in the air. They competed in 18
categories. The moustache
contest included the English (where the
lengthy ends are styled), the Dalí (as in Salvador) and the Hungarian (no explanation
necessary). For the bearded, categories included the Amish, the Fu Manchu, the Musketeer, the Kaiser and the Garibaldi.

Some colour their beards to

bearders are even more addicted to grooming.
Using tongs, Chris Bates took two and a half

intricate curls. But he was unable to defeat
Adam Gazda who, with the help of a coffee
cup, a fizzy-drink can and lots of hairspray,
styled his beard into a dizzying array of
gravity-defying loops, thereby triumphing in
the freestyle full-beard category. ●

belongs – in a dreary looking office. The movie, Life On The Road, follows Brent as

Equality Party.

DEMANDING
FASTER
EQUALITY
Nouveau parti
britannique
pour l'égalité
hommes-femmes
Un nouveau parti politique est né l’année dernière en Grande-Bretagne, le Women's
Equality Party. Son objectif ? Promouvoir la parité en politique, réduire l'écart
salarial, défendre les droits des familles LGBT et agir contre les violences conjugales.
Il espère remporter un ou deux sièges à la Chambre des Communes en 2020.
L
OBSTACLES
4. The question for WE’s founders is wheth-
ONDON — It may seem an inopportune time to start a new party, given
Britain’s crowded political scene, but Sandi
Toksvig says she is tired of waiting. Waiting
for what? For women to be treated the same
as men, to have the same opportunities, the
same representation in the top ranks of business and government and the same salaries,
and for Britain’s major political parties to
take the issues seriously. “We have to stop
being told to wait for equality,” Toksvig, 57,
a British-Danish writer and comedian, said
in an interview. “I’m done waiting.”
2. Many others are apparently tired of waiting,

too. Since Toksvig and two journalists — Sophie
Walker, 44, and Catherine Mayer, 54 — officially introduced the Women’s Equality Party,
known here as WE, last month it has set up
more than 65 branches and says it has drawn
more than 45,000 members and supporters.
3. “It’s
incredible the wave of enthusiasm
we’re currently riding on,” said Toksvig, who
will soon present a popular television quiz
show called “QI” and plans a comedy tour
next year to raise money for the new party.

er what amounts to a single-issue party will
advance the cause of women’s equality or
risk weakening it — if the party further
fractures voters, particularly on the left — or
if it founders on the steep obstacles that new
parties face in Britain.
5. Much like most of the U.S. voting system,
Britain’s first-past-the-post process awards
electoral districts to candidates who receive
the highest number of votes rather than requiring more than 50 percent, encouraging
two-party dominance and undermining
small parties.

6. It
is a system that “creates an effective
massive hurdle for new parties,” said Tony
Travers, a professor of government at the
London School of Economics and Political
Science. Candidates usually must win around
40 percent of the vote in a constituency to
claim a seat in Parliament, a level of support
few small parties can command, he said.
7. The founders of WE are nonetheless hop-
ing that their party will bring women’s issues to the front of the political conversation
in Britain.
EU AND THE UK
8. Elsewhere in Europe, women’s parties are
taking hold. Two years ago,
Soraya Post, of the Swedish
Feminist Initiative party,
became the first person
elected to the European Parliament on a feminist ticket.
In April, Norway founded
its own version. And the
Swedish party is now talking to feminists in Finland
and Denmark about starting like-minded parties
there, Post says.
14. In July, Prime Minister David Cameron,
11. Despite
15. For
the 1970 Equal Pay Act, British
women still earn almost 20 percent less than
their male colleagues. The British gender pay
gap of 17.5 percent is higher than the average
in the 34-nation Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development and is only
marginally better than the gap of 17.9 percent
in the United States.
The

parties have
been quick
to defend
their records
9. Generally, the Nordic countries have some
of the highest rates of gender equality in the
world. In Britain, however, women lag far
behind men in a variety of areas, from public
offices to corporate boardrooms.

judicial roles should not be rushed, warning
that it could have “appalling consequences
for justice” by sidelining qualified men.
Only 25 percent of English and Welsh judges, 29 percent of British members of Parliament, and about 25 percent of FTSE 100
board directors are women.
12. For the founders of WE,
that record demonstrates a
lack of passion and priority
given to women’s issues by
Britain’s mainstream political parties. “Not one of
them has solved their own
gender equality problems,
so how can they solve society’s?” said Mayer, one of
WE’s founders, who writes
for Time magazine.
CHANGE
13. Sensing
the challenge, the mainstream
parties have been quick to defend their records. Kate Green, Labour’s shadow Minister
for Women and Equalities, said in an email
that it was the Labour Party that extended
maternity leave to a full year and that introduced the Equal Pay Act, the Sex Discrimination Act and the Equality Act.

he would introduce rules by the middle of
2016 to make companies with more than 250

the average pay of their male workers and
that of their female employees.
WE, those steps have not been
enough. Its goals include having women
make up 66 percent of the candidates to
replace retiring members of Parliament and
75 percent of new peers appointed to the
House of Lords. The high percentages are
needed, they say, to quickly correct the
lopsided representation of men.
16. Mayer
said she never seriously considered joining one of Britain’s mainstream
parties and lobbying for women’s equality

JACK LINK’S
FAMILY BUSINESS
Une entreprise qui ne connaît pas la crise
Sucré, salé, poivré, pimenté… aux Etats-Unis, le jerky est incontournable.
Le marché de cette viande de bœuf séchée, salée, puis découpée en fines lanières et
commercialisée dans de petits sachets est largement dominé par une seule marque :
Jack Link. Depuis 1986, cette entreprise familiale du Wisconsin remporte
succès après succès. Quel est son secret ?
M
INONG, Wis. — It’s fitting that
Jack Link still raises cattle here,
his Angus steers and heifers roaming the same
scrubby farmland where he grew up. Link put
a new spin on an ancient food — jerky — about
30 years ago in this tiny town 140 miles northeast of Minneapolis. He hawked it at trade
shows and built an ironclad distribution network through regional convenience stores.
2. Today,
Link’s name is synonymous with
meat snacks, and his Minong-based company is the nation’s largest beef jerky purveyor. “It really turned out to be beyond my
imagination, beyond what I was thinking,”
Link said. “The growth was huge.”
A LEADER
3. Link’s company does more than $1 billion in
annual sales, dominating a jerky market that
it essentially created. Its slapstick advertisements — featuring the jerky-loving Sasquatch
— have cemented the brand’s popularity. The
meat snack business shows no signs of slow-

ing. Indeed, jerky is riding two of the food
industry’s hottest trends: protein and snacking.
4. Dried meat is, of course, high in protein, and
protein is so popular these days that cerealmaker General Mills launched a version of
Cheerios chock-full of protein. Plus, jerky is
eminently portable, a food that fits in well with
Americans’ increasing propensity to snack.
“Jerky has been at the center of what consumers have wanted for the last decade,” said Troy
Link, son of Chairman Jack Link and the
company’s CEO. Big food companies see that
and are increasingly jumping into meat snacks.
5. Just last year, Hershey bought jerky-maker
Krave, its first non-chocolate acquisition. Tyson extended its popular Ball Park hot-dog
brand into jerky. And Hormel Foods has fashioned one of its signature meat products into
dried, bite-size portions: Spam Snacks. But Troy
Link said nobody is as steeped in meat snacks
as Jack Link’s: “We are the meat snacks experts.
This is all we do.”

Jack Link stands in a field of his cattle, where he
first started his career, on Monday, Oct. 19, 2015, in
Minong, Wis. The Wisconsin-based company
started selling beef jerky 30 years ago and now
sells internationally.
REINVENTING THE BUSINESS
6. Jack
Link’s also makes turkey jerky and
chicken and bacon jerky these days, but the
foundation is still the original all-beef variety.
The meat arrives at Jack Link’s Minong plant in
lean chunks of round steak — 8 to 10 pounds
each. It is sliced, seasoned and cooked for six to
eight hours in ovens the size of a small garage.
7. The Minong plant, long ago supplemented
by other Jack Link’s factories, employs about
600. Since Minong’s population is only about
530, Jack Link’s draws employees from
Spooner, Hayward and other northwest
Wisconsin towns.
8. Link traces his roots in Minong to the 19th
century when his great-great grandfather, a
sausage maker, arrived from Germany. Jack
was born in 1946, the same year his dad and

RESIST
LABELS
WITH ‘CAROL’
Les deux têtes d'affiche de Carol refusent les étiquettes
New York 1952. Carol (Cate Blanchett) est une femme mariée, élégante et sophistiquée. La veille de
Noël, elle erre dans un grand magasin à la recherche d'un cadeau pour sa fille. Elle y rencontre une jeune
vendeuse, Thérèse (Rooney Mara), spontanée, charmante et fragile... On parle déjà d’une nomination
aux Oscars pour les deux actrices principales de Carol, dans les salles le 13 janvier prochain. Que pensentelles de leurs personnages ?
L
OS ANGELES — Cate Blanchett and
Rooney Mara are puzzling over a
question about why there aren’t more bigbudget love stories between two women.
True, there are scores of indie films that
streaming services label “lesbian romances.”
But few have the household familiarity of,
say, Brokeback Mountain.
2. The two star in Carol, a story of love bloom-
ing at Christmastime between a New Jersey
socialite and a young department store clerk
in the 1950s. Both actresses have done their
own digging for related films. “They get
made, they just don’t get distributed widely.
They don’t get big budgets. I would hazard a
guess that the budget for Brokeback Mountain would have eclipsed the minuscule
budget we had to make this,” says Blanchett,
46, who recently watched the 1997 drama
Fire, about two Indian women who struggle
within arranged marriages and fall in love.
“We even had to make our budget smaller
several weeks before shooting,” says Mara,
30, who was recently moved by Pariah, a 2011
film of an African-American teen living a
closeted life. Did that mean they took a salary cut for Carol? “Salary?” says Blanchett
dryly, as they both chuckle.

Vous utilisez en français l’expression
les "WC" mais savez-vous ce que
cela veut dire ? "water closet", car
"closet" en américain veut dire "une
petite pièce", comme "un petit
bureau" ou "un petit cabinet de
travail". C’est aussi un "placard"
("cupboard" en anglais).
"Closeted" veut donc dire "enfermé".
LOVE
3. The result is a triumph. Carol took off at the
Cannes Film Festival and left critics in rapture,
with all bets on a best actress Oscar nomination for Blanchett and a supporting actress
nomination for Mara. But before Carol’s wide
release, they’re worrying about how their film
will be described. “You say ‘lesbian love story’
and it’s a very sort of reductive way,” says
Blanchett. “Yes, it’s a part of it, but (in the 1950s)
they didn’t have language like that. (Carol) sort
of transcends any label, in a way.”
5. Patricia Highsmith, the author behind The
Talented Mr. Ripley and Strangers on a Train,
wrote The Price of Salt (on which Carol’s
script is based) in 1952, under the pen name
Claire Morgan. In the postscript, Highsmith,
who was bisexual, describes being a shopgirl
and following home a woman who inspired
the book and watching her drink through a
window. It’s all the more notable that The
Price of Salt defied stereotypes of the era and
ends “relatively happily,” says Blanchett.
EQUALITY
how many men have told her
they loved the film. “Men
you’d look at and think, ‘Oh
that wouldn’t be for them,’ ”
she says. Carol explores the
psychological impact of living a closeted life. Carol, who
is fighting for custody of her
daughter during a nasty divorce, carries “a world-weary
understanding that a love
like this can’t exist,” says Blanchett. Blanchett
says she wonders what would have happened
if Carol had never met Therese and remained
living in anguish. “I thought she probably
would have one day had too many brandies
and shot herself,” she says.
is working on busting other
stereotypes, including pay equality, with
famous voices such as Jennifer Lawrence,
Sandra Bullock and Patricia Arquette speaking openly about the disparity that exists.
“There’s now a critical mass of women
saying enough is enough,” says Blanchett.
She and Mara are sharply aware of the labels assigned to women. It’s why Blanchett
says she stopped reading interviews she
had given. “I’d be asked my
opinion on something (and
be described as) ‘strident,’
‘forceful,’ ‘doesn’t take prisoners,’ ‘doesn’t suffer fools.’
And all I was doing was
expressing my opinion,”
she says. “I find that kind
of language and description of women to be more
prevalent and sort of worse
in a way than the pay gap,”
says Mara. “We’re just talking about equality,” says Blanchett. “We’re not talking
about greed. I don’t see how the conversation can change, and workplace culture in
any industry can change, until there’s equal
pay for equal work.” ●

GLIDER PILOTS AIM
FOR THE STRATOSPHERE
Des pilotes visent la stratosphère à bord d'un planeur
Perlan 2, premier aéronef sans moteur au monde, conçu pour atteindre les portes de l’espace, a réalisé le 23 septembre dernier
son vol inaugural dans l’Oregon en montant à plus de 5 000 pieds. Le planeur tentera cette année d’établir le nouveau record du

AN DIEGO — Talk about serendipity.
Einar Enevoldson was strolling past
a scientist’s office in 1991 when he noticed a
freshly printed image tacked to the wall. He
was thunderstruck; it showed faint particles
in the sky that proved something he had long
believed: The winds that rise off mountains
travel far, far higher into the atmosphere than
most people imagined, representing something of an “elevator” to the heavens.

only this time Enevoldson won’t be in the cockpit. He’s 83 now, and coping with health issues.

2. It was an “a-ha!” moment for Enevoldson,

poles. Scientists call them stratospheric

a renowned test pilot and engineer. He soon
began sketching out plans for a manned
glider that could ride those winds toward the
edge of space. No engine required.
I BELIEVE I CAN FLY
3. So began a 24-year quest that inched clos-
er to reality last month when Enevoldson’s
glider — Perlan 2 — underwent stress testing
at ATA Engineering in San Diego. The company is helping to evaluate whether the

most commercial jets fly. The goal: slowly climb
to 90,000 feet, or roughly 19 miles high.
10. It is literally a lofty goal that begins with
some basic physics. “The wind blows over the
mountain, comes down the backside, then it
rebounds, just like water does as it moves over
a rock in a stream,” said Jim Payne, who will
fly Perlan 2 with Morgan Sandercock. “It’s an
extremely amazing phenomenon.”
11. Scientists
used to think that the winds
that rise from the leeward side of mountains
didn’t travel much higher than the troposphere, which varies in altitude, depending
on location and season. The altitude generally ranges from 4 miles to 12 miles.
12. But researchers learned that these moun-
tain waves can make their way well into the
stratosphere, if conditions are right. “I happened upon this by accident. I wasn’t looking
for it,” Enevoldson said.
WHAT’S THE POINT?
13. Sanderock makes a point of saying, “The
ultimate purpose of this aircraft is scientific
research. We can go higher than any other
aircraft, taking samples and measurements that
no one else can do.” But Enevoldson stresses a
more fundamental form of human curiosity.
14. “What this amounts to is a place on Earth
that no one has been, and no one has explored,” he said, as engineers jostled Perlan
2’s wings. “The Earth is such a magnificent
and interesting thing. When there’s something new about it, you have to go see it. It’s
there. I have no choice. I have to do this.” ●

5. Doctor Javier Gonzalez, the lead researcher,
told The Telegraph: "Our study showed that
ingesting carbohydrates during exercise can
prevent the depletion of carbohydrate stores in
the liver but not in muscle. We also found that
the exercise felt easier, and the gut comfort of
the cyclists was better, when they ingested
sucrose compared to glucose. This suggests that,
when your goal is to maximise carbohydrate
availability, sucrose is probably a better source
of carbohydrate to ingest than glucose." He went
on to recommend up to 90g of sugar per hour
- diluted to 8g sugar per 100ml - for optimal
performance during exercise lasting over two

l'anglais, langue co-officielle,
y est enseignée à chaque coin
de ruelle. Et l'ambiance y est
aussi studieuse. Dans cette ancienne colonie britannique, une
méthode originale et efficace
consiste à être hébergé... chez
son professeur. Cette immersion
« cocooning » est notamment
proposée par le réseau Home
Language International. Vie
quotidienne, repas, loisirs… vous
vivez à l'heure maltaise tout en
suivant des cours particuliers
de 2 à 6 heures par jour avec un
enseignant diplômé.
32
+
Vous travaillez vos points
faibles et le professeur
personnalise son enseignement en
s'adaptant à votre rythme. C’est
une approche humaine, mieux vaut
donc regarder les commentaires des
élèves précédents car la
personnalité de l'enseignant
importera davantage que dans un
cours classique.
-
Attention à la réputation très
festive de Malte qui pourrait
facilement vous détourner de vos
objectifs, en particulier à la belle
saison.

2 - THE ANSWER IS IN THE KITCHEN
ESPAGNE : Le programme « village anglais » ('pueblo inglés' en
espagnol) propose de perfectionner son anglais en partageant le
quotidien de natifs durant une
semaine au coeur, non pas d'un
village britannique, mais au milieu
de la campagne espagnole. Abbaye
castillane, chalet catalan ou encore
demeure andalouse, vous avez le
choix entre plusieurs destinations
champêtres pour une immersion
en communauté. Au programme,
une centaine d'heures concentrées sur huit jours, avec des face à
face, des jeux de rôles, des exposés
et le partage des repas avec une
vingtaine d'anglophones venus du
monde entier. Le but : habituer son
oreille à tout un éventail d'accents.
A noter qu'il existe des programmes semblables dans l'hexagone
comme « Le Maison », à 10 km
de Rambouillet. Une « bulle anglosaxonne » pour des petits groupes
de 4 apprenants en immersion lin-
guistique : 50 heures réparties sur
5 jours, basées sur des jeux de rôles
destinés au monde de l'entreprise
(inter et intra-entreprise) avec un
niveau B1+ minimum.
+
Le charme des hébergements.
La diversité des accents
entendus habitue votre oreille et
vous permettra d'échanger, voire de
négocier plus facilement avec des
interlocuteurs anglophones du
monde entier.
-
La difficulté d’un
environnement linguistique
composé de plusieurs accents
demande, de la part de l'apprenant,
un effort et une attention
supplémentaire. S'assurer par
ailleurs que les groupes de niveaux
sont bien délimités.

3 - TOUT EN EST DANS LE CONTRÔLE !
GRANDE-BRETAGNE : Assouvir sa
passion pour le football et perfectionner son anglais ne sont a priori
pas choses faciles. Pourtant, il existe des programmes comme le 'Chelsea Football Camp' de l'académie
Education First, qui permettent
de concilier les deux. Destiné aux
jeunes de 10 à 18 ans —séparés en
deux groupes d'âges 10-14 et 1418— ce séjour linguistique insiste
particulièrement sur le vocabulaire
lié au sport. Pas besoin d'être un as
du dribble, ni n'avoir un excellent
niveau en langue, car ce programme doit pouvoir, via une passion
commune à l'ensemble de la classe, désacraliser l'apprentissage et
déclencher une vocation. A noter
qu'une formule équivalente - et
moins physique - existe pour les futurs Christian Lacroix : le 'Fashion
Studio', pour les 14-18 ans.
+
L'apprentissage dans un lieu
atypique. La présence d'élèves
de diverses nationalités favorise la
découverte de l'autre et le partage de
deux langues communes : l'anglais et
le football.
-
Bien qu'un très bon niveau en
football ne soit pas exigé, il
facilitera l'intégration de l'élève
dans le groupe.

FRANCE : Le groupe Nova Performance propose un stage intensif
d'une semaine à la Défense à Paris
à des salariés (RH, commerciaux,
cadres dirigeants) cherchant à
améliorer leur pratique orale professionnelle. La formule intensive
de 37,5 heures par semaine —faite
pour l'essentiel de jeux rôles—
allie cours individuels, collectifs
et même des 'cours déjeuners'
pour ne pas en perdre une miette... tout en travaillant le 'social
english'. Niveaux homogènes.
Maximum 6 stagiaires par cours.

La spécificité de l'offre doit
garantir que les élèves
partagent un socle, un niveau et des
attentes communes, indispensables à
la réussite du cours.

THE CARTOON
Have you ever had an argument with someone? Have you ever had to
“agreed to disagree”? This is exactly what Joel W. Pett illustrates in
this very subtle and funny 6-panel cartoon you could apply to almost
any subject. What Joel W. Pett really denounces here is the ill
communication between the two characters. Quite clever!

The artist
Joel W. Pett (born September 1, 1953) is an
American Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial
