    YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® French Impressions: From the Loire Valley to Lyon & Paris 2021 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. French Impressions: From the Loire Valley to Lyon & Paris itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: I love to see how the people live, work, and play in communities like Angers, a city nestled at the edge of the Loire Valley. When you enjoy a Home-Hosted visit to a local family’s home here, you’ll get an intimate view into what daily life is like in the west of France. You’ll also enjoy a l’apéro, a traditional French social gathering over drinks and regional appetizers, with your hosts. Visiting the village of Oradeur-sur-Glane was a profoundly sobering and saddening experience for me. Four days after the Normandy landings, a German SS company killed all 642 residents of the village and left nothing but devastation in their wake. As I walked the winding lanes of the village with crumbling ruins around me, I felt like I was stuck in time. The atrocities that took place were still on full display so visitors like me can never forget the unthinkable horrors that occured between the Nazis and wartime France.

  • Daf Ditty Eruvin 29- Onion Johnny
    Daf Ditty Eruvin 29: Onion Johnny We are all as delicate as onions. Outside, pinkish-brown, striated with age, our dried up, papery carapace ready to be peeled away to expose new skin beneath. Tears flow as I remove each layer, tough becoming ever more soft, richer in aroma and paler in hue. Then the tender centre, the unblemished flesh like that of a new-born child - the child I yearn to hold in my arms. The Onion Johnny by Yvonne Clark1 1 https://www.londonindependentstoryprize.co.uk/post/the-onion-johnny 1 2 The Master also said that the minimum measure of olives and onions that may be used for an eiruv is enough to eat them with the food of two meals. The Gemara asks: May one establish an eiruv with onions? Wasn’t it taught in a baraita that Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar said: Rabbi Meir once spent Shabbat in the town of Ardiska, and a certain person came before him and said to him: Rabbi, I made an eiruv of Shabbat borders [eiruv teḥumin] with onions, so that I might walk to the town of Tiv’in. 3 Ardiska was located between the man’s eiruv and his destination of Tiv’in, which was beyond his Shabbat limit as measured from his hometown. And Rabbi Meir made him remain within his four cubits. He forbade him to leave his four cubits, as he held that an eiruv made with onions is not an eiruv, and therefore the person had left his Shabbat limit without an eiruv teḥumin.

  • Home of the ‘Handsome’ Onion for Nearly Two Centuries, ‘Onion Johnnies’ Have Been Making the Journey from the Breton Town of Roscoff to Sell Onions in Britain
    Home of the ‘handsome’ onion For nearly two centuries, ‘Onion Johnnies’ have been making the journey from the Breton town of Roscoff to sell onions in Britain. And while these travelling salesmen are now a rare breed, the sweet, pink alliums are still abundant — and worthy of an annual celebration WORDS: CAROLYN BOYD. PHOTOGRAPHS: PUXAN 60 NATGEOTRAVELLER.CO.UK/FOOD NATGEOTRAVELLER.CO.UK/FOOD 61 FRANCE Picture a Frenchman. What do you imagine? Beret, striped jersey, bicycle, string of onions around his neck? The French themselves are baffled by this widely held cultural stereotype — after all, France is the home of haute cuisine, delicate pâtisserie and fine wine. Why on Earth would the Brits choose to sum them up with a string of onions? The answer lies in the small town of Roscoff wheelbarrows full of them, and tables piled in northern Brittany. Most French have never high with beret-clad, striped-jersey-wearing even heard of the place, let alone know about men plaiting them into ‘tresses’ with dried the region’s gently flavoured pink onions, flowers and raffia string. It’s a technique that which can enhance every dish. Yet for nearly prevents them from sprouting, preserving 200 years, Roscoff’s ‘Onion Johnnies’ have them until April. And this was key to the travelled to Britain to sell their carefully success of the Onion Johnnies, who would sell braided strings of onions. The rest is history. from the harvest in July through to February. I’ve long loved Roscoff — a friendly seaside Mingling in the crowd is François Seité, an town of stone cottages, cobbled streets and Onion Johnny who regularly travels to south- heavenly off-shore views of colourful fishing west England to sell at farmers’ markets and boats and the Île de Batz, just 10 minutes away high-end grocery stores.

  • This Paper Proposes "Maintain the Core, Reinterpret the Periphery" As a Mechanism of Institutional Maintenance
    “MAINTAIN THE CORE, REINTERPRET THE PERIPHERY” AS A MECHANISM OF INSTITUTIONAL MAINTENANCE. THE CASE OF THE ONION JOHNNIES ABSTRACT This paper proposes "Maintain the core, Reinterpret the periphery" as a mechanism of institutional maintenance. The concrete mechanisms that allow for institutional maintenance are understudied. Using a historical case of the Onion Johnnies – Frenchmen who have been selling onions from Roscoff in Southern England since 1830 -, the authors generate new insights into the process of institutional maintenance. Onion Johnnies have managed to keep their profession alive by conserving its central characteristics, while changing aspects on the periphery. Firstly, this article identifies a new mechanism for maintaining institutions. This enhances the concept of institutional plasticity by using it to think about how an institution is maintained through transformation and double boundary work. Finally, this article shows the advantage of studying weak institutions. KEYWORDS Institutional maintenance, Institutional work, Plasticity, Long term case study, Onion Johnnies. INTRODUCTION How are institutions maintened? This question is addressed, directly or indirectly, by many researchers. After studying the processes of institutionalization (what was once a mere practice becomes one day an institution) (Scott, 2008; Lawrence, Suddaby & Leca. 2009) and deinstitutionalization (what was once an institution becomes one day nothing more than a practice) (Maguire & Hardy, 2009), it now seems critical to better understand how institutions are maintained. Research has begun to identify the processes involved. For example, the study by Dacin et al. (2010) highlights the role of ritual in keeping up institutions in Cambridge. This is furthered by research by Currie et al. (2012), Lok and De Rond (2013), Micelotta and Washington (2013) who identify several mechanisms for maintaining institutions such as restoration, repair work and reinforcement.
