On Holocaust Memorial Day, I thought I would share pictures of a memorial to one of my heroes, Raoul Wallenberg.
Raoul Wallenberg was a Swedish businessman who in 1944 accepted an assignment from the US War Refugee Board to help save members of the Jewish Community in Budapest, Hungary from the Nazis. Classed as a “Diplomat”, he did this by issuing protective passports and setting up “safe houses” as Swedish diplomatic missions. He has been attributed to saving more than 100,000 Jews.
However, Raoul Wallenberg did not enjoy freedom after the war. In January 1945 he was arrested by the Soviet Union. From this time onwards he was lost in the Soviet prison system. It appears that the Soviets considered him a spy, and despite many sightings after 1945, it took many years for the Soviet Union to admit they had arrested him.
Eventually the Soviet Union produced a death certificate, stating he died in Lubyanka Prison on 17 July 1947. However, witnesses have reported seeing Raoul Wallenberg as late as 1980. Research to find out what actually happened is still being chased by the Wallenberg family, but until the archives in Russia are opened to impartial researchers, the truth of what happened to Raoul will never be known.
Some times I believe that shadows are greater than purpose
"Would Truth dispense, we could be content, with Plato, that knowledge were but Remembrance; that Intellectuall acquisition were but Reminiscentiall evocation, and new impressions but the colourishing of old stamps which stood pale in the soul before. For, what is worse, knowledge is made by oblivion; and to purchase a clear and warrantable body of Truth, we must forget and part with much wee know. Our tender Enquiries taking up Learning at large, and together with true and assured notions, receiving many wherein our renewing judgements doe finde no satisfaction; and therefore in this Encyclopaedie and round of knowledge, like the great and exemplary wheeles of heaven, wee must observe two Circles: that while we are daily carried about, and whirled on by the swindge and rapt of the one, wee may maintaine a naturall and proper course, in the slow and sober wheele of the other. And this wee shall more readily performe, if we timely survey our knowledge; impartially singling out those encroachments, which junior compliance and popular credulity hath admitted."

BBC impartiality was challenged today by several hundred Pro Palestine protesters who gathered outside the Birmingham studios located in the Mailbox. Several speakers highlighted the disproportionality of coverage and just days after 4 Palestinian children were bombed on a beach in Gaza.
The protesters held an impromptu march to a scheduled Stop the War meeting. When it became clear that the Council House could not accomodate the number of protesters wishing to attend a sound system was hastily put together and a mass public meeting was held in the city's Chamberlain Square.

On Monday, 28th October 2013, an audience of students, journalists, aid workers and diplomats gathered at the Alliance Francaise de Delhi to watch Access to the Danger Zone, a documentary film directed by Peter Casear and narrated by Daniel Day–Lewis. The film was part of an MSF film screening series being hosted in 10 cities across India by Alliance Francaise and was followed by a Q&A with Dr Unni and Benjamin Wahren, Deputy Head of Mission at the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
With footage shot in three of the world’s most dangerous environments – Afghanistan, Somalia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, the film portrayed the consequences of violence that civilians are forced to endure as well as the challenges that MSF and ICRC experience in reaching these victims and delivering medical aid. Through candid material of MSF and ICRC’s operational activities and interviews with key experts, the film highlighted the principles which guide MSF’s operations - impartiality, independence and neutrality.
Mr. President (Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah): Ladies and Gentlemen, I cordially thank you, with the utmost sincerity, for the honour you have conferred upon me — the greatest honour that it is possible for this Sovereign Assembly to confer — by electing me as your first President. I also thank those leaders who have spoken in appreciation of my services and their personal references to me. I sincerely hope that with your support and your co-operation we shall make this Constituent Assembly an example to the world. The Constituent Assembly has got two main functions to perform. The first is the very onerous and responsible task of framing our future constitution of Pakistan and the second of functioning as a full and complete Sovereign body as the Federal Legislature of Pakistan. We have to do the best we can in adopting a provisional constitution for the Federal Legislature of Pakistan. You know really that not only we ourselves are wondering but, I think, the whole world is wondering at this unprecedented cyclonic revolution which has brought about the plan of creating and establishing two independent Sovereign Dominions in this sub-continent. As it is, it has been unprecedented; there is no parallel in the history of the world. This mighty sub-continent with all kinds of inhabitants has been brought under a plan which is titanic, unknown, unparalleled. And what is very important with regards to it is that we have achieved it peacefully and by means of a revolution of the greatest possible character.
Dealing with our first function in this Assembly, I cannot make any well-considered pronouncement at this moment, but I shall say a few things as they occur to me. The first and the foremost thing that I would like to emphasise is this — remember that you are now a Sovereign legislative body and you have got all the powers. It, therefore, places on you the gravest responsibility as to how you should take your decisions. The first observation that I would like to make is this. You will no doubt agree with me that the first duty of a Government is to maintain law and order, so that the life, property and religious beliefs of its subjects are fully protected by the State.
The second thing that occurs to me is this. One of the biggest curses from which India is suffering — I do not say that other countries are free from it, but, I think, our condition is much worse — is bribery and corruption. (Hear, hear.) That really is a poison. We must put that down with an iron hand and I hope that you will take adequate measures as soon as it is possible for this Assembly to do so.
Black-marketing is another curse. Well, I know that black-marketers are frequently caught and punished. According to our judicial notions sentences are passed, and sometimes fines only are imposed. Now you have to tackle this monster which today is a colossal crime against society, in our distressed conditions, when we constantly face shortage of food and or the essential commodities of life. A citizen who does black-marketing commits, I think, a greater crime than the biggest and most grievous of crimes. These black-marketers are really knowing, intelligent and ordinarily responsible people, and when they indulge in black-marketing, I think they ought to be very severely punished, because they undermine the entire system of control and regulation of food-stuffs and essential commodities, and cause wholesale starvation and want and even death.
The next thing that strikes me is this. Here again is a legacy which has been passed on to us. Along with many other things good and bad, has arrived this great evil -the evil of nepotism and jobbery. This evil must be crushed relentlessly. I want to make it quite clear that I shall never tolerate any kind of jobbery, nepotism or any influence directly or indirectly brought to bear upon me. Wherever I find that such a practice is in vogue, or is continuing anywhere, low or high, I shall certainly not countenance it.
I know there are people who do not quite agree with the division of Indian and the partition of the Punjab and Bengal. Much has been said against it, but now that it has been accepted, it is the duty of every one of us to loyally abide by it and honourably act according to the agreement which is now final and binding on all. But you must remember, as I have said, that this mighty revolution that has taken place is unprecedented. One can quite understand the feeling that exists between the two communities wherever one community is in majority and the other is in minority. But the question is whether it was possible or practicable to act otherwise than has been done. A division had to take place. On both sides, in Hindustan and Pakistan, there are sections of people who may not agree with it, who may not like it, but in my judgment there was no other solution and I am sure future history will record its verdict in favour of it. And what is more it will be proved by actual experience as we go on that that was the only solution of India’s constitutional problem. Any idea of a United India could never have worked and in my judgment it would have led us to terrific disaster. May be that view is correct; may be it is not; that remains to be seen. All the same, in this division it was impossible to avoid the questions of minorities being in one Dominion or the other. Now that was unavoidable. There is no other solution. Now what shall we do? Now, if we want to make this great State of Pakistan happy and prosperous we should wholly and solely concentrate on the well-being of the people, and especially of the masses and the poor. If you will work in co-operation, forgetting the past, burying the hatchet, you are bound to succeed. If you change your past and work together in a spirit that every one of you, no matter to what community he belongs, no matter to what community he belongs, no matter what relations he had with you in the past, no matter what is his colour, caste or creed, is first, second and last a citizen of this State with equal rights, privileges and obligations there will be no end to the progress you will make.
I cannot emphasise it too much. We should begin to work in that spirit and in course of time all these angularities of the majority and minority communities — the Hindu community and the Muslim community — because even as regards Muslims you have Pathans, Punjabis, Shias, Sunnis and so on and among the Hindus you have Brahmins, Vashnavas, Khatris, also Bengalese, Madrasis and so on — will vanish. Indeed if you ask me this has been the biggest hindrance in the way of India to attain its freedom and independence and but for this we would have been free peoples long long ago. No power can hold another nation, and specially a nation of 400 millions souls in subjection; no body could have conquered you, and even if it had happened, no body could have continued its hold on you for any length of time but for this. (Applause.) Therefore we must learn a lesson from this. You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other places of worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed — that has nothing to do with the business of the State (Hear, hear). As you know, history shows that in England conditions some time ago were much worse than those prevailing in India to-day. The Roman Catholics and the Protestants persecuted each other. Even now there are some States in existence where there are discriminations made and bars imposed against a particular class. Thank God we are not starting in those days. We are starting in the days when there is no discrimination, no distinction between one community and another, no discrimination between one caste or creed and another. We are starting with this fundamental principle that we are all citizens and equal citizens of one State. (Loud applause.) The people of England in course of time had to face the realities of the situation and had to discharge the responsibilities and burdens placed upon them by the government of their country and they went through that fire step by step. Today you might say with justice that Roman Catholics and Protestants do not exist: what exists now is that every man is a citizen, an equal citizen, of Great Britain and they are all members of the nation.
Now, I think we should keep that in front of us as our ideal and you will find that in course of time Hindus would cease to be Hindus and Muslims would cease to be Muslims, not in the religious sense, because that is the personal faith of each individual, but in the political sense as citizens of the State.
Well, gentlemen, I do not wish to take up any more of your time and thank you again for the honour you have done to me. I shall always be guided by the principles of justice and fair-play without any, as is put in the political language, prejudice or ill-will, in other words partiality or favouritism. My guiding principle will be justice and complete impartiality, and I am sure that with your support and co-operation, I can look forward to Pakistan becoming one of the greatest Nations of the world. (Loud applause)

200 CONVIVES POUR LA SOIREE CABARET
Plein Ph’Art sur les talents locaux.
Une star académie à la mode gisorcienne ? Un radio-crochet aux allures d’autrefois ? Pas vraiment, mais une chose est sûre : avec sa soirée cabaret aux ingrédients inédits, l’association Plein Ph’Art a frappé un grand coup, samedi soir. Née en septembre 2004 autours d’une poignée d’acteurs de la vie culturelle locale, Plein Ph’art a fait, doucement mais sûrement, son chemin. Ses mots d’ordre ? L’amitié et l’ouverture. Sa raison d’être ? Organiser des manifestations à la fois culturelles et festives.
(
C’est bien de cela qu’il s’agissait samedi soir à la salle des fêtes de Gisors. Autour des tables, pas moins de 200 convives avaient pris place. Au menu, tajine parfumée, mais aussi chansons, numéros de danses ou de théâtre. Entre moments de poésie, d’émotions non feintes ou d’instants plus surréalistes, la soirée aura réservé son lot de surprises. Comme la prestation de la compagnie Axelaxe, vraie réussite en matière de danse contemporaine, la conviction de la voix de Marie-Françoise sur des chansons réalistes ou la sincérité toute simple de Patrick Pothier, auteur compositeur et interprète, pour ne citer que ceux-là… Le principe de la soirée – associer des artistes accomplis à des amateurs – aura fait des étincelles.
De quoi donner du grain à moudre à Plein Ph’Art qu’on attend d’ores et déjà à la troisième édition de la Fête du Printemps à Saint-Clair-Sur-Epte. L’association a aussi un gros projet dans ses cartons : une grande fête autour de la musique et du cinéma à Gisors. Et elle attend de pied ferme tous les volontaires qui voudraient lui prêter main forte…

As protests against Burundi's President Pierre Nkurunziza's bid for a third term in office entered a second week, top politicians and local leaders are fleeing the country.
Sylvère Nimpagaritse, the vice-president of Burundian Constitutional Court, who was due to decide on the legality of President Pierre Nkurunziza nomination for a third term, has fled the country. Protests have stretched into a second week.
Nimpagaritse arrived in Rwanda a few days after Member of Parliament Thomas Bukuru and two communal bourgmestres (mayors) Gaudose Niyonsaba and Basile Ndereyimana of Gisagara and Mushiha communes, respectively, also fled, crossing into Rwanda.
Meanwhile, human rights activist Pierre-Claver Mbonimpa told journalists in the capital Bujumbura, yesterday, that the constitutional court was not be impartial since most of its members are 'darlings' of President Nkurunziza.

I've tried dried yacon before through some of the specialty raw food places, but our produce co-op had it available fresh, so I just had to try it. It's sort of reminds me of a less sweet Asian pear. My first impression was impartial, but I had some more the next day, and I really like it! I also chopped some up and made a yacon fruit salad.

On Saturday 5 August, activists gathered in central London to protest the ongoing brutal and illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir by India and its use of extrajudicial killings, forced disappearances, intimidation and censorship to maintain its control.
Many of those present were also angry at Britain's continued support of India and failure to take action in support of the Kashmiri people's struggle for independence. India has forcibly occupied the region for over 75 years in open defiance of UN resolutions calling for a fair and impartial plebiscite under UN auspices to determine the area's status.
The protest marked four years since the Indian government, on 5 August 2019, revoked the autonomy of Jammu and Kashmir, previously guaranteed by the constitution, and instead imposed direct rule from Delhi. As Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported, "The government action was accompanied by serious rights violations including arbitrary detention of hundreds of people, a total communications blackout and severe restrictions on freedom of movement and peaceful assembly."
www.hrw.org/news/2022/08/02/india-repression-persists-jam...
In their most recent report on Jammu and Kashmir, HRW noted that "the government's repressive policies and failure to investigate and prosecute alleged security force abuses have increased insecurity among Kashmiris," and added that "journalists in Kashmir face increasing harassment by security forces, including raids and arbitrary arrests on terrorism charges. Authorities in India have shut down the internet more often than anywhere else in the world. A majority of those shutdowns have been in Kashmir, where they are used to curb protests and access to information."
www.hrw.org/news/2022/08/02/india-repression-persists-jam...
Enforced disappearances also continue as freelance journalist Mir Aiyaz reported in Fair Planet (23 February 2023). He interviewed Khera Begum about the arrest of her son, Abdul Rashid Dar, by over forty Indian army soldiers, with no police officer attending as is legally required. An officer reportedly told his older brother, Shabir, that the police had been "informed" and that he would be released the next morning. He was not. When the family and other locals went to enquire at the nearest army base, initially they were asked to return later, and then eventually told that he had "escaped from custody." As Aiyaz notes
'Rashid's family and community members do not believe the army's version of events. "How can a man escape in the presence of ever vigilant army men?" rued Shabir. "He was too meek a person to escape, and there was no possibility of running away in the forest where he was taken."
It seems equally difficult to believe that if the army had openly stated its intention to hold him for just 24 hours, that he would have risked everything on attempting to flee.
Aiyaz observes that 'locals, particularly youths living in Kunan Poshpora have altered their daily habits due to their fear of being abducted,' and he quotes a student who while 'staring at the fenced playground (of a school), which used to be brimming with kids but has recently been mostly desolate,' told him that "boys head home after the maghrib prayers, and time spent in the playground has been slashed down."

The Indian Army has deployed a huge military force in Jammu and Kashmir which some estimates suggest might be as high as 900,000 troops. One soldier for every eight civilians. According to journalist Munir Akram writing in the Pakistan Observer (6 August 2023), the Indian military has "perpetrated a vicious campaign of repressive actions, including extrajudicial killings of innocent Kashmiris in fake encounters, custodial killings and "cordon-and-search" operations; use of pellet guns to kill, maim and blind peaceful protestors, abduction and enforced disappearances and "collective punishments," with the destruction and burning of entire villages and urban neighborhoods.'

Despite India's ongoing brutal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir and despite the continued tension and risk of war with Pakistan, Britain continues to grant licenses for the export of arms to both Pakistan and India.
On 23 February 2023, Politico reported that in the wake of the Ukraine war, 'Britain's defense and aerospace firms now see an opportunity to chip away at Russia's share (of India's military imports)', adding that 'Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems are part of a delegation to Aero India, Asia's biggest airshow which is taking place this week.'
The same report also seemed to suggest that rather than attempt to limit arms exports to maintain some leverage on the shocking human rights situation in Jammu and Kashmir and limit the arms race between the two regional nuclear powers - India and her neighbour Pakistan, the British government appears instead intent on promoting arms exports to India. According to Politico, "Last year the UK put India on its defense equipment fast-track - the first such move offered to an Indo-Pacific nation - in a shift that will reduce red tape and shorten delivery times for defense procurement."
www.politico.eu/article/india-pursues-russian-military-bu...
It should also be noted that the United Kingdom is already one of India's largest suppliers of weapons. According to the UK House of Commons Library arms exports update in January 2023, on a "10 year rolling basis the UK is Europe's largest and the world's second largest defence exporter' beaten only by the United States (p10) and the report ranks India as the fourth largest importer of arms from the UK after Saudi Arabia, Oman and the United States, based on arms transfers between 2012 and 2021.

accessibilité aux personnes handicapées Un bon point pour la préfecture à laon
Un bâtiment laonnois arrive en tête d'un classement sur l'accessibilité.
qui a obtenu la note de dix sur dix et les félicitations !
LE SITE INTERNET www.accessiblepourmoi.com/
a établi un classement des villes et de certaines préfectures ou sous-préfectures.
Et c'est la préfecture de Laon qui arrive en tête (ex æquo avec Melun) sur treize établissements visités
pour le moment.
L'association Mobilité réduite, à l'origine de cette action, ne se contente pas de consulter des documents et de recueillir des témoignages.
Entre début mai et fin novembre, les adhérents prennent leur voiture et viennent sur place pour voir comment les choses se passent réellement.
Ils visitent, incognito, des villes de toutes tailles et de tous bords politiques ou des établissements publics.
Une bonne surprise
Le président, Jean-Michel Royère, est venu lui-même constater comment cette administration située en ville haute accueille les personnes en situation de handicap.
Et il a eu une bonne surprise.
« Quand je suis arrivé devant la grille de la préfecture, j'ai vu le logo « handicap » sur les barrières.
On m'a ouvert et il y avait quatre places réservées à l'intérieur.
plusieurs places de stationnement réservées aux personnes à mobilité réduite ..
L'accès est facile, il y a un cheminement court et praticable, un accueil aux normes, des toilettes conformes...
Le service communication de la préfecture précise de son côté que des travaux sont réalisés depuis plusieurs années et que « le cheminement des accès au bâtiment Signier a été repris et le dallage refait.
Il y a un guichet surbaissé accessible au niveau de l'accueil général et les ascenseurs sont aux normes depuis 2008.
Un programme de travaux d'un montant de 70 000 €, d'une durée de 10 semaines, sera lancé en septembre. Chaque service (cartes grises, permis de conduire, bureau de la nationalité) disposera d'un guichet d'accueil surbaissé.
Ces guichets seront également dotés d'une boucle à induction magnétique permettant une communication adaptée entre les personnels d'accueil et les usagers malentendants ou non appareillés. »
Restera pour l'association à tester la ville.
Elle a prévu de le faire cet automne ou au printemps prochain. Mais impossible d'en savoir plus. « Afin de ne pas être influencé dans un sens ou dans l'autre et pour rester impartial, nous ne rencontrons ni élu, ni association.
C'est donc une photo à un instant T de la situation globale de la ville.
Si des travaux d'accessibilité conformes à l'esprit de la loi sont prévus ou en cours de réalisation, nous devrions normalement les constater la fois suivante. La note qui sera alors attribuée devrait donc progresser en conséquence.
C'est le but essentiel de nos audits incognito, mesurer la progression des collectivités territoriales en terme d'accessibilité. »

In a gamey move, Rob sends 2 of the T70s directly at the PzIII to draw their fire away from the T34s. Since I had to take over for Brian at this stage, and run the panzers, I didn't think I could impartially rule out this move. They of course met a fiery fate. Meanwhile other T70s are making a beeline for the Paks, (which would also hidden from their line of sight). One of the PzIIIs has also gone up from a hit from the T34s.

Today, we look at the survivor of Amazon shipping disaster, Transformers Earthrise: Snapdragon.
Snapdragon is the second of two Horrorcons to be reimagined by Hasbro/Takara for the modern age of Transformers., with the other being Apeface who was released as part of the Siege lineup in Fall 2019. While the personality of the pair different depending on the continuity, this much remains constant - this pair of Decepticons are Headmaster Triplechangers, with questionable animal modes.
Like with Apeface, this iteration of the character brings that G1 nostalgia along with improvements to the actual engineering behind the toy, and updated Technobabble. Instead of a Headmaster, the little figure is called a Titan Master, but is still named Krunk after the G1 character. The overall shape of the figure, colours, alt modes, face, and so on are instantaneous recognizable to us Old Timers
I keep forgetting to mention this, but in addition to the figure and weapons, each box has a "decoder strip" which is a throwback to the G1 toy days, where you'd put a red piece of plastic up against the Tech Specs on the back of the box to get the characters vital stats. These days, it's used to decode some message that I believe unlocks stuff on a website.
As far as I can tell, Snapdragon is the first use of this particular mould, which is always nice. Two of the biggest issues I had with Apeface appear to be resolved here. The first being that Apeface had no waist, which is absolutely insane for a Voyager sized figure in this day and age. The other problem was that for some reason the plastic quality was inferior to the rest of the Siege line, which is not the case anymore. Plastics feel stiffer and aren't a pearl finish, which overall seems to allow for better tolerances, as well as the detailing on the figure to actually show up.
There is technically a third point, but that's with the Battle Damage paint apps. Some people like them. Some people don't. I'm impartial.
Articulation and range of motion on Snapdragon are pretty much what you'd expect (ankles, knees, thigh twist, hip, waist, shoulders, forearm pivot, and head - there is no useful wrist articulation). So, again you'll get your run of the mill action poses, but with a toy that do something other than stand around and look pretty).
Paint work is... alright. Smaller figure and lower price point means fewer apps as compared to Doubledealer whom I looked at last. It's serviceable, and honestly with no real official art work or Takara version to tell me otherwise, I can only presume that this is the artistic vision of the figure come to life.
When it comes to a Transformer, build quality is always the biggest thing as poor QC can result in a warped looking figure or misaligned limbs, and in the past this has always been an issue when talking about Hasbro vs Takara. Well, if this unified product thing has done one thing right, it's that I find despite having more complicated transformations and more moving parts, I find that the figures hold together much better than before, and the joints/finishes on the piece generally aren't bad either.
Transformation to Jet mode and then Dragon mode are fairly intuitive, especially compared to Apeface. At the end of the day, while I like stupidly complicated transformations, if a simple one can get the job done, so be it. On the whole, it's pretty typical for a Voyager size figure. After all they can't all be as intricate as Springer.
That about does it for Snapdragon. I was worried he would disappoint me as much as Apeface did, but I'm glad that money was put towards addressing the biggest issues that I had with that release. An easy recommend if you're into Headmasters and if, like me, you never got around to playing with one in the 80s.
At this time, I still have the two Arcee's on preorder (which are way late), and still no ability to preorder Sky Lynx and Scorponok. It's been a very strange year to say the least, but I would have thought I would have had the ability to at least preorder things.
Oh well... things will happen when the time is right. Besides, I've got a bunch of other things to tinker with in the meantime.
Practicing with makeup and trying new outfits while traveling. I arrived at the resort on the weekend before the week-long conference and had the weekend to practice. I took many photos that weekend, and surprisingly most of them turned out very well, so there are 38 (out of 61) photos in this series! (Photo selection was done by two impartial reviewers.)
This is one of the casual outfits.
accessibilité aux personnes handicapées Un bon point pour la préfecture à laon
Un bâtiment laonnois arrive en tête d'un classement sur l'accessibilité.
qui a obtenu la note de dix sur dix et les félicitations !
LE SITE INTERNET www.accessiblepourmoi.com/
a établi un classement des villes et de certaines préfectures ou sous-préfectures.
Et c'est la préfecture de Laon qui arrive en tête (ex æquo avec Melun) sur treize établissements visités
pour le moment.
L'association Mobilité réduite, à l'origine de cette action, ne se contente pas de consulter des documents et de recueillir des témoignages.
Entre début mai et fin novembre, les adhérents prennent leur voiture et viennent sur place pour voir comment les choses se passent réellement.
Ils visitent, incognito, des villes de toutes tailles et de tous bords politiques ou des établissements publics.
Une bonne surprise
Le président, Jean-Michel Royère, est venu lui-même constater comment cette administration située en ville haute accueille les personnes en situation de handicap.
Et il a eu une bonne surprise.
« Quand je suis arrivé devant la grille de la préfecture, j'ai vu le logo « handicap » sur les barrières.
On m'a ouvert et il y avait quatre places réservées à l'intérieur.
plusieurs places de stationnement réservées aux personnes à mobilité réduite ..
L'accès est facile, il y a un cheminement court et praticable, un accueil aux normes, des toilettes conformes...
Le service communication de la préfecture précise de son côté que des travaux sont réalisés depuis plusieurs années et que « le cheminement des accès au bâtiment Signier a été repris et le dallage refait.
Il y a un guichet surbaissé accessible au niveau de l'accueil général et les ascenseurs sont aux normes depuis 2008.
Un programme de travaux d'un montant de 70 000 €, d'une durée de 10 semaines, sera lancé en septembre. Chaque service (cartes grises, permis de conduire, bureau de la nationalité) disposera d'un guichet d'accueil surbaissé.
Ces guichets seront également dotés d'une boucle à induction magnétique permettant une communication adaptée entre les personnels d'accueil et les usagers malentendants ou non appareillés. »
Restera pour l'association à tester la ville.
Elle a prévu de le faire cet automne ou au printemps prochain. Mais impossible d'en savoir plus. « Afin de ne pas être influencé dans un sens ou dans l'autre et pour rester impartial, nous ne rencontrons ni élu, ni association.
C'est donc une photo à un instant T de la situation globale de la ville.
Si des travaux d'accessibilité conformes à l'esprit de la loi sont prévus ou en cours de réalisation, nous devrions normalement les constater la fois suivante. La note qui sera alors attribuée devrait donc progresser en conséquence.
C'est le but essentiel de nos audits incognito, mesurer la progression des collectivités territoriales en terme d'accessibilité. »

Justice wears a blindfold symbolizing impartiality and carries a sword because justice can be swift and final. Her left hand with the scales is missing.
BBC impartiality was challenged today by several hundred Pro Palestine protesters who gathered outside the Birmingham studios located in the Mailbox. Several speakers highlighted the disproportionality of coverage and just days after 4 Palestinian children were bombed on a beach in Gaza.
The protesters held an impromptu march to a scheduled Stop the War meeting. When it became clear that the Council House could not accomodate the number of protesters wishing to attend a sound system was hastily put together and a mass public meeting was held in the city's Chamberlain Square.

That's defo it now- thanks everyone for following me thru this project. You're comments, suggestions, critizism and just general interest have really meant a lot to me.
I've loved, hated and felt very impartial to this project. I've had some lazy days where I slagged off (like yesterday... urgh) and some days where I had a hard time choosing the best portrait.
I have really enjoyed myself, I've learned a lot and it's been a fantastic ride.
Thank again to all my followers, viewers, muses, idea-shareres, creatives, occasional shutter releasers, human tripos, cold weather bearers and of course all the wonderful photographers out there who've been a constant source of inspiration to me.
Much love,

LE BOISGELOUP > ASSOCIATION PLEIN PH’ART
Ils ont plein de projets
Dimanche dernier, se tenait au Boisgeloup l’assemblée générale de l’association Plein Ph’Art. Créée en 2005, l’association gisorsienne, qui réunit avant tout des amis plasticiens, a parmi ses nombreux projets la réunification du Vexin par l’art et la réconciliation du public avec l’art contemporain.
L’artiste local doit avant tout être un citoyen actif. A ce titre, Plein Ph’Art s’allie avec d’autres associations partageant le même désir culturel, comme « le bonheur dans le pré » de Montjavoult, la CAM de Montagny qui invite à chaque Pentecôte des plasticiens dans ses jardins, le Secours populaire d’Argenteuil et l’Atelier du pommier avec lequel Plein Ph’Art s’associe dans le cadre de l’opération « Ville à la campagne » à Saint-Clair-sur-Epte.
A Gisors, Plein Ph’Art est aux côtés du cinéma Jour de Fête dans le cadre de Boutiqu’Art. L’association est également présente à la foire à tout avec son stand Broc’art : « On achète des objets que l’on laisse aux artistes qui se chargent de les détourner avant de les restituer » expliquent les artistes. Avec leur nouveau partenaire Aventure Land, Plein Ph’Art a un projet ambitieux : animer la voie verte lors de la célébration en 2011 du traité de Saint-Clair-sur-Epte de 911 qui donna naissance à la Normandie. Plus proche de nous, la prochaine manifestation aura lieu en février où les artistes devront travailler sur le thème de la Saint-Valentin : l’endroit est inconnu pour le moment car il s’agit d’une surprise…à suivre donc ! **

This is the 2.7 m high Statue of Justice, represented by Themis. She has a pair of scales in her right hand and a sword in her left hand; the scales represent fairness and the sword is a symbol of power. She is blindfolded, which represents impartiality. Overall, the Statue of Justice embodies the spirit of law.
