The British government eventually paid £20m in a lawsuit by Kenyan survivors.</b></p><p><b>Cornell University professor Mukoma Wa Ngugi decried the “theater” surrounding the Queen’s death. He tweets "If the queen had apologized for slavery, colonialism and neocolonialism and urged the crown to offer reparations for the millions of lives taken in her/their names, then perhaps I would do the human thing and feel bad. As a Kenyan, I feel nothing. This theater is absurd." I'd prefer to call it an insane fascist circus.</b></p>Dr Tony Shawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07565448709541046337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955844379699946887.post-36752867458741357162022-09-04T20:56:00.001+01:002022-09-04T20:56:37.345+01:00Paray-le-Monial mosaics, Saône-et-Loire (71)<p> <b>With its<i> Maison de la Mosaïque contemporaine</i> and its <i>Musée Paul Charnoz</i>, Paray-le-Monial is mosaic city. What interests me far more is what is on the street, even if it's not as wonderful as the mosaics in the museums. Between the Rue des Deux-Ponts and the Avenue Charles de Gaulle are a number of small mosaic tiles organised by the <i>Maison de la Mosaïque contemporaine</i> in 2016, involving twenty students and organised by Marie-Laure Besson and Mélaine Lanoë. A trainspotter's delight.</b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKCkfyEo0q1DV2huV-cMj9Tvjyw80DgzSvhDWmCQgYmYTGS0ebq35rXcjZeVibDOdVjuZNioDqdhzdUglzb9xnN5VKec54mTiFNcSunyq4zRKxUawnFyYjiqZhlUS4nwmpJuvEvuQqm686Ec5O4Iv2Hua7N8m6jBGSkgqkFTOXgaAb9VWm3j-0q3Vv/s1875/DSC06938%20(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

She wrote about the pain of women's love, and unfortunately the work she left the world only amounts to 662 lines. She was born Louise Charly, which was the name of her apprentice ropemaker father Pierre. Pierre had married the widow of the rich ropemaker Jacques Labé, whose surname Pierre appropriated to ensure his continued presence in the profession. On the death of Pierre's wife, he remarried and Louise is the fruit of this second marriage. She kept her father's assumed name, and married a rich ropemaker herself, hence her epithet '<i>La Belle Cordière</i>'. The Mairie carries a photo of her sculpted bust as a logo. She lived in <i>Le château de Grange-Blanche</i> (now private property) to the north of the bourg, where she died.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWoZLU2LrtgDzNZ1CxWvMD32tZdqMh_z_xRweNteZZF2yvcIboVpJi5uPrqMSgcvZ091VABUyNhot7R5FQgMrs5RixsCprWx8QQ_BzzA958X6cCzIV7LD2k3uMhEOe6I6K54x3ssWa49ew-PR72t1wvrVhKuFOhQGXB2StuNGlvT9WilQ7h0Exzi7Z/s1353/DSC06966%20(2).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1353" data-original-width="1209" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWoZLU2LrtgDzNZ1CxWvMD32tZdqMh_z_xRweNteZZF2yvcIboVpJi5uPrqMSgcvZ091VABUyNhot7R5FQgMrs5RixsCprWx8QQ_BzzA958X6cCzIV7LD2k3uMhEOe6I6K54x3ssWa49ew-PR72t1wvrVhKuFOhQGXB2StuNGlvT9WilQ7h0Exzi7Z/s320/DSC06966%20(2).JPG" width="286" /></a></div></div>Dr Tony Shawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07565448709541046337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955844379699946887.post-44750195651946568142022-09-03T17:00:00.003+01:002022-09-03T17:00:50.537+01:00 Émile Demaizière, Mâcon, Saône-et-Loire (71)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioG4hB8GwQgnUus7xuSWIZvyKt24XCFGRqcBl3QCzMCv6VYXlsPGhv7eiQJojyIcOrNyo9QRoC_mLEhGsH2CDmhLk_w2UVMwXTxDCgSyuFhB_l2xptTYAcb7VcDzziBkcsd08zM0C7_GYddvBY7WZF3s1XsxKp0QjZVfKQkROdwQD852nO593_Ojb-/s1506/DSC06971%20(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1014" data-original-width="1506" height="269" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioG4hB8GwQgnUus7xuSWIZvyKt24XCFGRqcBl3QCzMCv6VYXlsPGhv7eiQJojyIcOrNyo9QRoC_mLEhGsH2CDmhLk_w2UVMwXTxDCgSyuFhB_l2xptTYAcb7VcDzziBkcsd08zM0C7_GYddvBY7WZF3s1XsxKp0QjZVfKQkROdwQD852nO593_Ojb-/w400-h269/DSC06971%20(2).JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p><b>Émile Demaizière (1867-1929) was born in Beaune and died in Mâcon.

Gabriel turned his many skills to automobiles in 1918: he was a friend of Le Corbusier, who admired his futuristic cars.</b></p><p><b>Voisin was a playboy who had no sense of control over money, and was bankrupted on a number of occasions. And a genius he certainly was, inventing guns, traps, ovens, furniture, etc. He was also a painter and sculptor. He wrote four books: <i>La Naissance De L'Aéroplane</i> (1927); <i>Mes 10 000 cerfs-volants</i> (1960); <i>Mes mille et une voitures</i> (1962); and <i>Nos Étonnantes chasses</i> (1963).</b></p><p><b>Voisin moved to Le Villars with his second wife Juliette, then to nearby Ozenay.

It goes without saying that the risk each host family was taking was enormous, and any leak of information would certainly have resulted in death for all concerned.</b></p><p><b>By a quirk of circumstance, Anne Marie Phal was the only host parent to have been awarded the title of '<i>Juste parmi les nations</i>', an honour created in 1953 by the Israeli parliament for civilians who saved Jews during the war. There is a sentence translated from the Talmud on a new plaque on the grave: '<i>Quiconque sauve une vie sauve l'univers tout entier</i>': 'Anyone who saves a life saves the whole universe.'</b></p><p><b>The plaque stems from the research of René Maré, who was Anne Marie Phal's nephew, and who at the time he put the original plaque in place (2019) only knew the names of three of the children. Consequently the plaque mentioned the fourth as '<i>un garçon au nom inconnu</i>': René never thought he would be able to put a name to him.</b></p><p><b>However, in a few paragraphs which appear as additions to the main text, '<i>Comment avons-nous retrouvé [l'inconnu'] ?'</i>, <i>LJSL</i> says that after questioning people in the village they found memories understandably hazy or quite simply incorrect. But then, as if by magic, a book written in the 1980s, containing a chapter on Cheilly and the hidden children, and published in 2021, appears: this is Danielle Kupecek Domankiewicz's <i>Une Constellation dans la nuit</i>. This didn't quite reveal the boy's name, although the author – now in her eighties, is still alive and remembers his name. René Beugelmans is 88, and has now been added to the names of the other children on the plaque: Jacques Schmelz, Rose Tabacznik and Rachel Schmelz, whose life Anne Marie Phal saved. The plaque is also a memory of the other host families involved: Bourgeon, Meunier, Fremin and Ménages.</b></p>Dr Tony Shawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07565448709541046337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955844379699946887.post-57740644731612556502022-08-05T12:43:00.001+01:002022-08-05T12:43:13.613+01:00 Boîte à Lire in Feillens, Ain (01)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmXX1WGBbhm0U4-c1-qUAc_NEWyvm3dmuClGwFIqCfzLkgUtQZ_R6Ig1JH-4F6eFpddM2W5aqKdAkKBIi6eKuuWwPn5tpYhWijyC6n97_SooW7oiK_x9lUp68hKY9lVkTL9qt1QSD_koOabR2JQFGb3U4cxz8kUUc17yTJvuPmxuRQe-1-r_psGccI/s2288/DSC06794%20(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2288" data-original-width="1538" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmXX1WGBbhm0U4-c1-qUAc_NEWyvm3dmuClGwFIqCfzLkgUtQZ_R6Ig1JH-4F6eFpddM2W5aqKdAkKBIi6eKuuWwPn5tpYhWijyC6n97_SooW7oiK_x9lUp68hKY9lVkTL9qt1QSD_koOabR2JQFGb3U4cxz8kUUc17yTJvuPmxuRQe-1-r_psGccI/w269-h400/DSC06794%20(2).JPG" width="269" /></a></div><p><b>This is quite a smart one too, although the wire scratched me.
