Levee

All 10 of these movies that I wrote down are extremely well-reviewed.

But I think Josh and Greg would both agree that that maybe the Levee's Breaking movie is a great answer.

For sure,

yeah.

General Nivelle had the support of Mr. Briand, the French Premier, and of General Lyautey, the French Minister of War.

However, in March 1917, Mr. Ribot became Premier and Mr. Paine-Levée Minister of War.

They were both opposed to General Nivelle because they believed that plans which he had for an offensive would only cause the French army further tremendous losses without producing victory.

They believed that the time had come when the French must guard their remaining manpower if they were not to become so weak from loss in battle that the Germans could crash through their line.

He had convinced Mr. Lloyd George.

The French and British generals, on the whole, were not in agreement with him.

As a consequence, with Mr. Lloyd George opposed to Generals Haig and Robertson and Mr. Paine-Levée opposed to General Nivelle and supporting General Pétain's point of view, there soon developed a situation in which there was anything but unity of purpose on the part of the French and British soldiers and statesmen.

In the meanwhile, General von Hindenburg had moved first, just as the French had feared he would.

This week, Bonfire of the Levees.

The origins of the bonfires on the levee stretch back more than three centuries to the French and German settlers who established communities along the Mississippi River in what is now southeastern Louisiana.

While the exact beginning is difficult to pinpoint, the tradition is rooted in Christmas Eve celebrations and local folklore.

But she used code words in her speeches, in magazine articles, newspaper articles that were written on her behalf.

For instance, they called the Levees aliens.

They called the Levees outsiders.

And how could they be less aliens? I mean, at this point, Jefferson Levy is a sixth generation American.

It's unfortunate, but we can't tell the story without mentioning that.

そうです。もともとこの神社は江戸時代に、降霜や海水の浸水から街を守るために建てられたんですよね。

ええ、堤防に開いた穴から守る。だから穴守稲荷です。

で、GHQが空港を拡張する際、当然この神社もブルドーザーで取り壊そうとしたわけですよね。

そうですね。ところが、大きな赤い鳥居だけがどうしても撤去できなかったんです。

That's very cool.

I met another woman who's in her 80s who showed up at my first talk and They were the first Levee artists in the early seventies.

They were the Arkansas Valley artists and they would gather and paint on the wall and they would actually do theater and do all kinds of other stuff.

So it's, it's just uncovering more and more and more kind of going backwards, but coming forward.

Where can we go see this? And I'm like, this is the only place you can see it.

It's powerful.

And I'm so proud to represent a lot of this that never was really honored as much because it's only the second exhibit of the Levee ever.

Ever.

Zed, you're done as well, bro.

"Deich ball was better" [laughs].

I am not...

There is no way in hell I will ever say that any manager plays worse football than Deich, ever.

But my, my point I was alluding to was this, right? If, if, if, if we get into these kind of debates, then what tends to happen in, in the football fan's mind is if you still want the manager, you blame the players.

If you don't like the manager, it's not the player's fault, it's the manager's fault.

It was Lady Windermere's last reception before Easter, and Bentinck House was even more crowded than usual.

Six cabinet ministers had come on from the Speaker's Levee in their stars and ribands.

All the pretty women wore their smartest dresses, and at the end of the picture gallery stood the Princess Sophia of Carlsruhe, a heavy Tartar-looking lady with tiny black eyes and wonderful emeralds, talking bad French at the top of her voice and laughing immoderately at everything that was said to her.

It was certainly a wonderful medley of people.
