Paris, France. These small refuse trucks are seen all over Paris and other parts of France. While they don't hold a lot, their small size makes them ideal for getting around narrow streets.
Hopefully, someone can help identify the make.
As soon as I saw this bin I thought of Torrey's videos of Con-Serv Industries in northern Virginia... like this one:

While working in a neighborhood in Winter Haven, this truck passed by me. I ended up seeing this crew the rest of the week throughout Winter Haven.

NICOLA Sturgeon has threatened to close the border with England if the UK Government refuses to fix a loophole on quarantine hotels.
The First Minister said “it may come to that” when asked about shutting down traffic between the two countries at the daily briefing.
It followed SNP Transport Secretary Michael Matheson saying yesterday that UK ministers risked undermining Scotland's public health with their “unacceptable” approach to international quarantine measures aimed at stopping the spread of new Covid variants.
Under rules which came into force at 4am, all non-exempt international travellers to Scotland must spend 10 days in a quarantine hotel costing £1750.
Six hotels with 1,300 rooms have been block-booked in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
However in England, only travellers arriving from one of 33 high-risk “red list” countries go to quarantine hotels.
Visitors from other countries arriving in England still have to self-isolate for 10 days, but not at a designated hotel.

The loophole means people who fly into an airport south of the border from a non red-list country and then travel on to Scotland by car or public transport can avoid the inconvenience and expense of a quarantine hotel and self-isolate for 10-days in a house instead.
The first international flight into Scotland under the new regime arrived just after 11am.
Around 65 people had been booked on the Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul to Edinburgh, however many appeared to change their plans when they learned of the rules at the airport.
In the end, only four non-exempt passengers made the trip, prompting fears the rest decided to go via an English airport for a little extra to avoid a quarantine hotel.

"Dominick Palmieri's truck taken at the time of purchase in the early 1950s by City Tank in Corona Queens. My grandfather owned this carting company from just after WW2 until about 1971-72. He was based out of East Harlem (E 122st) and later the Bronx, but he continued to garage his trucks in Harlem. His route was the on the East Side from Murray Hill up to Yorkville. The truck is a early 1950s Federal with a Roto-Pac body. This truck was one of the first with a mechanized hopper."
If you pushed the brake pedal, the windscreen wipers started. If you turned on the lights, the horn sounded. The indicators refused to work at all. There was clearly something wrong with the English car that Mahy had bought for a song from a garage owner in Brussels. The price was just 3,000 Belgian francs, only marginally more than the car’s scrap value in the early 1960s. But apart from the dodgy electrics, there was not much wrong with it. The Cadillac V8 engine still purred nicely under the bonnet and the bodywork was passable, except for the radiator grille, which Ghislain Mahy hated. Like the name: Allard. Ghislain was not a big fan of English sports cars and even forgot the name of this one when he sent son Ivan to fetch it!
The Allard was a true Londoner. From its foundation in 1936 until the end of the Second World War, the company’s factory was in Putney. It then moved to Clapham, where it remained until Allard went out of business in 1966. During those 30 years, scarcely 1,900 cars were made. But they were good cars. The company shot to prominence when an Allard P1 won the challenging Monte Carlo rally in January 1952. Amongst the drivers was Sydney Allard, who had designed the car, which beat the legendary Stirling Moss (in a Sunbeam) into second place. It was in that same year that the first three cars of the new P2 Monte Carlo model rolled off the production line. It had a shortened radiator grille, to help keep snow out of the engine during the gruelling winter race to Monaco. With Hilton Brothers aluminium coachwork on a wooden frame, the P2 looked more modern that its predecessor, but was less popular with the car-buying public. As a result, only eleven P2s were ever made. The Mahy’s cream-coloured Allard is one of the first three made in 1952. And one of these three is known to have competed in the 1953 Monte Carlo Rally, but was unable to repeat the previous year’s success. Perhaps it was this one?

PLEASE NOTE - THE SCANS ARE THE BEST THAT I CAN DO GIVEN THE STATE OF THE MANUSCRIPT.
This is a bifolium from William Durand's “Speculi clarissimi pars tertia et quarta”, also known as the “Speculum judiciale” or “The Illustrious Mirror of Life, Parts III and IV” that was probably produced in Bologna, Italy, in the fourteenth century.
The text is from Book IIII, Perticula III.
Page 1 begins in “ De apostolis seu libel dimissoriis” (The Apostles discharge the libel) which is followed by “De clericis coniugatis” (The married clerics). This continues on to page 2 and is followed by “De clericis non residdentibus in eccllesia, vel praebenda “ (The clerics are not resident or in their given church) and “De praebendis et dignitatibus” (The representatives and dignitaries). Page 3 begins with a different text. It begins in “De actionibus empti et uenditi” (The actions of the bought and sold) and this continues through to, and beyond, the end of page 4
The maximum size of the bifolium is 420mm 568mm (16 1/2ins. x 22 4/10ins.).
The maximum size of a leaf is 420mm x 284mm (16 1/2ins. x 11 2/10ins.).
In the top outside corners of pages 1 and three are page numbers - c and c
ii xxxix ii xliiii
The page numbers 239 and 244 would indicate that the bifolium consists of the second and seventh leaves if it was part of an eight leaf gathering.
OVERALL CONDITION: -
There is no doubt that the condition of this bifolium leavers a lot to be desired. It has evidently been a wrapper of some sort from at least 1557 and it is creased horizontally as well as vertically, has several small holes, vellum has been removed from parts of both outside margins and the bottom margin of pages 1-2, is quite dirty on pages 1 and 4 and the wear to pages 1 an4 makes parts of them difficult to read.
GENERAL COMMENTS: -
Not withstanding the overall condition of the bifolium, it is a very interesting addition to the collection as it is from a significant legal text that I have been unable to find any examples of being sold since before the end of the nineteenth century. It can only be concluded that it must be quite rare in the truest sense.
GUILLAUME DURAND: -
Born c.1230 (at Puimisson near Beziers, in France), died 1st. November 1296, was a French canonist and liturgical writer and Bishop of Mende who studied law at Bologna. By 1264 he was teaching Canon law at Modena. In 1274 he helped to draw up the constitutions of the Second Council of Lyons and in 1278 he received, in the name of the pope, the homage of Bologna and the other cities of Romagna. Amidst various struggles he successfully defended the papal territories by both diplomacy and arms. Although elected Bishop of Mende in 1286, he remained in Bologna until 1291. He refused the archbishopric of Revenna in 1295 and in 1296 withdrew to Rome where he died.
“SPECULUM IUDICIALE”: -
William Durand's “Speculum Iudiciale” (also known as “Speculi clarissimi” and sometimes referred to as “The Illustrious Mirror of Life”) was compiled in 1271 and revised in 1286 and 1291. It is a general explanation of civil, criminal and canonical procedure, and also includes a survey of the subject of contracts. It is a remarkable encyclopedic synthesis Roman and ecclesiastical law, distinguished by its clarity, its method, and especially its practical sense, and its repute was as great and lasting in the courts as in the schools. This work won Durand the nickname “Doctor Speculator”.
The young couple first married on August 5, 1744, when Joseph was eight and Sarah six, and first ended their marriage six days later when Joseph refused to believe, to Sarah's frustration, that the stars were silver nails in the sky, pinning up the black nightscape. They remarried four days later, when Joseph left a note under the door of Sarah's parents' house: I have considered everything you told me, and I do believe that the stars are silver nails.
They ended their marriage again a year later, when Joseph was nine and Sarah seven, over a quarrel about the nature of the bottom of the river bed. A week later, they were remarried, including this time in their vows that they should love each other until death, regardless of the existence of the riverbed, the temperature of the river bed's bottom (should it exist), and the possible existence of starfish on the possibly existing riverbed.
They ended their marriage one hundred and twenty times throughout their lives and each time remarried with a longer list of vows. They were sixty and fifty-eight at their last marriage, only three weeks before Sarah died of heart failure and Joseph drowned himself in the bath. Their marriage contract still hangs over the door of the house they on-and-off shared - nailed to the top post and brushing against the welcome mat:
“It is with everlasting devotion that we, Joseph and Sarah L, reunite in the indestructible union of matrimony, promising love until death, with the understanding that the stars are silver nails in the sky, regardless of the existence of the bottom of the river, the temperature of this bottom (should it exist) and the possible existence of starfish on the possibly existing riverbed, overlooking what may or may not have been accidental grape juice spills, agreeing to forget that Joseph played sticks and balls with his friends when he promised he would help Sarah thread the needle for the quilt she was sewing, and that Sarah was supposed to give the quilt to Joseph, not his buddy, ignoring the simple fact that Joseph snores like a pig, and that Sarah is no great treat to sleep with either, letting slide certain tendencies of both parties to look too long at members of the opposite sex, not making a fuss over why Joseph is such a slob, leaving his clothes wherever he feels like taking them off, expecting Sarah to pick them up, clean them, and put them in their proper place as he should have, or why Sarah has to be such a pain about the smallest things, such as which way the toilet paper unrolls, or when dinner is five minutes later than she was planning, because, let's face it, it's Joseph who's putting that paper on the roll and dinner on the table, disregarding whether the beet is a better vegetable than the cabbage, putting aside the problems of being fat-headed and chronically unreasonable, trying to erase the memory of a long since expired rose bush that a certain someone was supposed to remember to water when his wife was visiting family, accepting the compromise of the way we have been, the way we are, and the way we will likely be. May we live together in unwavering love and good health. And so say we all."

I was lucky enough to shoot The Refused both weekends at Coachella 2012. This man rocks out so hard its insane and a testiment to music and it's longevity. I have many shots I would like to post on here but I fear that I might flood my feed but at the same time I am not sure if you could ever have TOO many photos of The Refused (greatest rock band of all time!) ENJOY!
Coroner Noble Yocum of Etowah County, Al. examines the personal effects of William L. Moore, the civil rights worker slain on a lone march, April 24, 1963—the day after Moore was gunned down.
Moore was, a postal worker and Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) member who had participated in and staged civil rights demonstrations in Baltimore, Annapolis and Washington, D.C. before his fateful march..
He was assassinated in Attalla, Alabama April 23, 1963, during a single person protest march from Chattanooga, Tennessee to Jackson, Mississippi, where he intended to deliver a letter to Governor Ross Barnett, supporting civil rights.
Moore became involved with the civil rights movement purposefully, but at the same time almost by accident.
He had earlier picketed for peace in his adopted home town of Binghamton, N.Y., but decided he wanted to join the civil rights movement in Baltimore where ongoing demonstrations were taking place.
Moore found work as a substitute letter carrier while in Baltimore.
Students at Morgan State University were attempting to desegregate the Northwood theater February 15, 1963 when Moore happened by. Twenty-six students were sitting-in at the lobby and the theater manager was reading them a trespass notice.
Moore decided to join them and was arrested along with the students. Altogether, 151 black and one white, Moore, were arrested that day.
White students from Johns Hopkins and Goucher then joined the protest in the coming days
On February 21st the theater desegregated.
The next day Moore decided to stage a 35-mile march from Baltimore to Annapolis wearing two sign-boards: one reading “End Segregation in Maryland” and the other “Equal Rights for All Men.”
He was unable to deliver his letter to the governor, but talked to an aide at length and delivered the letter to him.
On his second march he walked to the White House. He arrived at about the same time that Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. was being released from the Birmingham jail after protests in that city.
His letter to President John F. Kennedy said that he intended to walk to Mississippi and "If I may deliver any letters from you to those on my line of travel, I would be most happy to do so."
For his third protest he planned to walk from Chattanooga, Tennessee to Jackson, Mississippi and deliver a letter to Governor Ross Barnett urging him to accept integration. He was wearing sandwich board signs stating; "Equal rights for all & Mississippi or Bust".
In an account of his Baltimore sit-in and Annapolis walk written for the CORE newsletter, Moore wrote:
“Perhaps it was this walk which gave me the idea for my forthcoming walk in the south. When I wrote my friend, Jim Peck, about the southern walk, he replied that possibly this would be more effective as a group action and that, furthermore it would be extremely dangerous for a lone individual.”
“However, I had made up my mind. I felt that a white3 mailman, here in the south, delivering a letter to Governor Barnett would have a certain impact. I definitely plan to take this walk during my vacation.”
On April 23, 1963, about 70 miles into his march, Moore was interviewed by Charlie Hicks, a reporter from radio station WGAD in Gadsden, Alabama, along a rural stretch of U.S. Highway 11 near Attalla.
The station had received an anonymous phone tip about Moore's location. In the interview, Moore said: "I intend to walk right up to the governor's mansion in Mississippi and ring his doorbell. Then I'll hand him my letter." Concerned for Moore's safety, Hicks offered to drive him to a motel. Moore insisted on continuing his march.
Less than an hour after the reporter left the scene, a passing motorist found Moore's body about a mile farther down the road, shot twice in the head at close range with a .22 caliber rifle. The gun's ownership was traced to Floyd Simpson, whom Moore had argued with earlier that day, but no formal charges were ever filed against him. Moore died a week short of his 36th birthday.
Moore's letter was found and opened. In it, Moore reasoned that "the white man cannot be truly free himself until all men have their rights." He asked Governor Barnett to: "Be gracious and give more than is immediately demanded of you...."
CORE organized a group to try to complete Moore’s walk in May 1963. The group was pelted with rocks by white rioters, injuring a number of marchers.
On May 8th, police stopped the march at the Alabama line and arrested everyone in the group. According to an account written for the CORE newsletter, a mob of whites in a nearby field shouted “Get the goddam communists!” “Throw them n____s in the river!” and “Kill ‘em, Kill ‘em!”
Following a memorial service at the murder site, another group of CORE marchers tried again. Before they took two steps, they were all arrested.
The march was finally completed when two people started out April 23, 2008. Ellen Johnson and Ken Loukinen walked the 320 miles from Reece City, Alabama, near where Moore was killed, and delivered Bill Moore's original letter to the capitol at Jackson, Mississippi.
Bob Zellner, a long-time activist and first white Field Secretary of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, was with them and attempted to present the letter to Governor Haley Barbour on May 6, 2008, but Barbour refused to meet with the party.
No one was ever tried for Moore's murder..
