One hundred students from the Paul Saucier School and a handful of Divan of students marched Wednesday morning in CarMax (Ministered) against the proposed El Kombi law.
“We want the withdrawal of the law. We are worried that we could increase the working hours, lower wages or lay off more easily.” yellow reflective vest on the back, to frame the procession Tudgual Danged summarizes the claims of the students.
This Wednesday, March 9, 2016, they are one hundred (mainly Paul Saucier but also some of Divan) to have marched in the streets of CarMax (Ministered), between 11 am and 11 pm 30. Parties of Paul Saucier they joined the Town Hall square, where they were welcomed by Christian Triadic. The mayor of CarMax then received a score of them in the boardroom.
In their sights, as in other mobilizations in Britain, the draft reform of the Labor Code, carried by the Minister Miriam El Kombi. “El Kombi, this is bullshit,” they chanted in the parade. “We want things to move, for our future,” insists Tug dual Danged, student in safety vest in the first logistics pro tray.
Claims supported by Christian Triadic. “What they are contradictions as the bill is important,” responded Mayor CarMax.
The students with reflective element returned Paul Saucier shortly before noon Wednesday. The initiators of the movement have announced plans to soon organize new protests.

Don’t go to the forest without reflective vest
Mushrooms while walking is advisable to wear a reflective vest, but it will not save you from danger. Try to avoid walking in the woods and fields and sunsets during the morning hours. Inevitably, there are among us hunters, who are ready to shoot anything that moves. Squatting mushroom line is very far looking like wild boar. Moreover, more than half of the hunters over 50 years of age and eyesight are no longer what young.
In addition, we can never be sure that you hit the ball with the shot, if we let the animals down. Even if we hit an animal, a ball may fly out of her, and continue their journey to another kilometer.
Open the ball flies off of up to two kilometers away. I know from experience that many hunters do not think about letting the ball out, which is to create the background. The goal is to capture the animal.
The story that the hunting areas will know what they are doing is nonsense. In reality, there is a general chaos, is gigantic, and it is reflective element necessary to let the mindless number of animals. Specifically, for the first time in history, we are faced with, which raises concerns about the ability of the volume of non-compliance due to the hunting area without a stick.
Wild boar shooting is every opportunity. In connection need more animals hunted everywhere, and it creates a danger. In some regions, permits goes rigging because not enough is not heating or pigs.
Ireland hunting is sadly like a sandbox game. Hunter can very easily, without any special knowledge.
Then there are those who have had the nose in the moss, but cannot help expostulation – made the same mistakes next time. Fortunately, no one hurt our hunting area, but there have been very dangerous situations. However, it is Kaitlin could hear the bullets flying and of this annual drill. Fortunately, the forest is trying to stick the ball quite quickly.
If the hunter is alone in the woods hunting, and targeting the head, then he disappears from around the world – he sees only the animal. In connection has begun to issue more licenses for hunting, and this has led to a situation where even the bears have begun to target the head of feral pigs. The state is putting pressure on us – our pressurized environment.
The forest is absurd commotion throw wild boar permits and ordering more bangs – Sooner or later, someone will be bulletproof. My recommendation to you as a hunter: Do not walk in the evenings walking along the cornfields, and as long as the raging swine fever lasts, do not walk in the woods at all!
Hunters are not one hundred percent of the professionals – we are ordinary people like you and like you, we make mistakes. Unfortunately, our faults delete someone. I therefore ask you, pick mushrooms during lunch, when it is the whitest, and wear a reflective vest with reflective tape! It should not take you off the pieces, but could save your life.
Bikers wish success and the courage to be more open with the people. Acknowledge your vulnerabilities – so we can avoid the worst. I hope the people of understanding – the situation is also difficult for the hunters.
Dress reflective vest during exercise
In 1911, Norwegian explorer Road Amundsen reached for the first time, the South Pole. No bubo to report, but we must still specify that one of the team members had to undergo training to express the Oslo hospital to be able to cut a party member if ever it was freezing … the anecdote may seem dated, but the subject of sport in the cold is he, highly relevant fact, with winter approaching. Gilles Goetghebuer, editor of the magazine Atopic, a magazine specializing in the running, gives us some good tips to brave the cold.
Do not dress too warmly during exercise. “People with reflective vest tend to dress in overlapping layers to go running. However, when short, it emerges much energy as heat (4/5), so this extra layer is not necessary. During exercise, it gives off heat like a good little electric heater, it can hold at very low temperatures without any problems, “says Gilles Goetghebuer.
Avoid exposure to cold after exercise. “This is a deeply rooted habit, and after exercise, this is really the time when one is most vulnerable, explains the editor. After exercise, there is a low immunity phase which allows the immune system not to overreact to small injuries we have during the activity. Once the effort stops for a few minutes, we are very vulnerable. “Moral: we must cover them when the body is at rest. Scarf, hat, sweater … For once, at that time, so do not skimp on diapers!
Cover the ends. Fingers, nose, face, ears … All these parts are very sensitive to cold. “In case of low temperatures, blood circulation is reorganized and privileges the heart and brain. The blood deserted ends. Think, for example, when an ear is pierced to put a loop: is affixed an ice cube against the lobe so that it does not bleed. “So do not hesitate to bring out his gear gloves with reflective strip, socks, caps and headbands.
Well hydrated. “We use less in winter than in summer, of course, explains our expert. That said, even when it loses water in breathing, therefore we must remember to drink properly. “How do you know if you’re hydrated enough?”It’s pretty easy, just observe the urine. If they are very yellow, is that you are dehydrated. ”
Eat normally.”It is often said that in winter, you have to eat richer dishes for cold weather. This was true at one time where we worked and where we were out all the time … But right now, I do not think the difference in caloric expenditure is very significant between summer and winter “Gilles continues Goetghebuer.
Gradually enter the effort. This advice applies to all but for a very specific category of people: “For asthmatics, for example, bronchial reactivity is higher in the cold.”
Beware of darkness. During the winter season, the days are shorter. We must therefore redouble vis-à-vis traffic caution. “Wear bright colors with reflective tape. And be very careful, because sometimes when we run, we are focused on its business. ”
In short, no more excuses pushing the door of the house and going romp with the sport, even in winter. And even without training to amputate frostbitten members: in 1911, the team Amundsen did not need to put this learning into practice … and the temperatures were much lower than ours.
Considered the favorite science fiction weapon, weapons laser gradually become a reality thanks to fiber optics.
Silently, the drone glides on arid lands of New Mexico and suddenly it turns its direction by diving to the ground. Then we see a shell out of his pitcher to go straight to its target, but the shell has just been launched that explodes in flight. On the floor above a large sand-colored truck, a cubic mechanism swivels and pulls invisible laser rays to destroy targets one by one. The High Energy Laser Mobile Demonstrator (HEL MD) is a laser weapon prototype that was developed for the US Army by Boeing manufacturer. Inside the truck, the engineer with reflective overall Electro physics, Stephanie Blount, aims targets on his laptop and directs the laser with a kind of joystick. She says it’s like a video game.
And that makes sense because we often see laser weapons in video games and science-fiction movies. The first true laser was demonstrated in 1960 and this technology is not science fiction. Boeing prototype is one of many laser weapons that developed in Europe and the United States. And this technology has become possible thanks to robust and affordable lasers that generate their shelves with optical fibers.
The effectiveness of these fiber laser weapons is measured in Kilowatt (KW) and much less powerful than the ambitions of the US Strategic Defense Initiative. This was a plan during the Cold War to create lasers that could destroy ballistic missiles that carried nuclear warheads. But even if these weapons are less powerful laser modern, it does not mean that they are ineffective in combat. Tests such as those conducted by Boeing show that these lasers are powerful enough to neutralize enemy threats such as mortars and homemade rockets. And the main advantage is that these laser weapons do not cost a fraction of the cost of conventional defense weapons.
Thus in 2014, the US Navy has shown a laser weapon called Laws which was mounted on a ship that could destroy small boats such as those used by Somali pirates or terrorists. And this experimental laser weapon is currently installed on the USS Ponce, an amphibious ship for the carrier patrolling the Gulf.
But laser weapons still face many obstacles from the increase in power up to the difficulty of using lasers in a fog of war or simply cloudy. But security experts are beginning to seriously consider the lasers in their strategies. Paul Scherer, a specialist in advanced technology at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) said: After a search that lasted nearly 50 years, the US military is the first to consider laser weapons for transactions field.
Searching for the perfect laser weapon
Laser weapons have always fascinated weapon designers, especially during the golden age of the Strategic Defense Initiative that was dubbed Star Wars and peaked between 1980 and 1990. Reflective vest is necessary. According to a report CNAS, the United States spent the equivalent of $ 2.4 billion in 1989 to try to develop laser weapons that can destroy ballistic missiles while being out of reach.
The trick with any weapon laser is to focus its energy on a tiny spot enough for the heat and damage the target. And above all we must do it with a machine that is compact and portable enough for the battlefield. Thus in 1996, the US Air Force launched the Airborne Laser project as one of its contributions to protect against ballistic missiles. But given that it was impossible at that time to generate megawatts needed to optical energy, the designers chose a chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL) that could power through a chemical reaction. But the COIL was so impressive that he had to carry on the Boeing 747 and there was little room for the laser fuel. Lockheed had provided laser technology on this project.
According to Phillip Spangle scientist specializing in lasers Naval Research Laboratory: The atmosphere was another major problem, not only because the rays were disturbed by dust and natural turbulence, but their passage (those lasers) caused a kind thermal bloom. When the radius was spreading at a very high power, the atmosphere absorbed the laser light by heating the air and dispersing the laser. And this process completely dissipated the energy of the laser.
In 2010, the science of optics was advanced enough that Airborne Laser can destroy a ballistic missile in flight. But the logistical issues such as the size of the craft prompted the Defense Department to drop laser weapons. The department canceled the Airborne Laser project until early 2012. And the expenditure of the Department in lasers lowered at full speed from 961 million in 2007 to $ 344 million in 2014.
They had not wasted money, but we focused on fiber lasers that were more economical. Fiber lasers were invented in 1963 and since 1990; they are designed and promoted entirely by IPG Photonics which is located in Massachusetts. Other solid state lasers use rods or rigid plates or crystals discs for generating the radiation, but the fiber lasers use tiny optical fibers which are coated with compact coils. The fibers collect optical energy from laser diodes that can be found in DVD players. Obviously, these are not the same diodes, but improved versions that can amplify light for maximum energy. In addition, the electrical / optical conversion is more efficient at 30%. This efficiency is almost double of solid state lasers and very close chemical lasers such as the COIL. And since the reflective fibers are long and thin, they have a large surface area for heat quickly spread. Finally, these fiber lasers have a long service life and maintenance is much more affordable.
Reflective element on the stage
Written and directed by Charlotte Lagrange, “I am large,” seduced by his passion and finesse
His chosen land is “a place without borders.” The day she found out Jean-Baptist André in his solo, as in daylight, she has dreamed that this place was not a chimera. On stage, the French artist trained in circus arts mixed game, dance and balances. Julie TVorwarn was barely out of adolescence and do not intend to give up his studies in space design, in Lyon, to become an acrobat. Today, twenty-nine, she saw his passion and his solo performer at the Theater Am Strum Gram in Geneva. Who is Julie TVorwarn? This is the question that weaves the fabric of I’m large. “I’m a little, a lot, passionately … nothing,” she crashes to the ground but do not give up. She already jumped explores the tray lined with reflective walls balancing on hands, carefully, as to not miss … herself. The fluidity of her routines enchants. “I’m an acrobat flowing. Being deeply rooted in the ground, I feel not to fall down. ”
The quest from the outset is in the origins of the young woman (his mother is Spanish). And remember that arises from childhood: a grandmother omnipotent ordering the girl to eat onions (the grandfather owes its survival during the Spanish Civil War). The allele point a finger and threatening tone. Face it, skimming the ground, the child bristled. This scene, truculent, was inspired by an episode lived with the family. Julie TVorwarn teenager says she dissimulate under layers of clothing (pants, skirt, dress, tunic, scarf …) to the point of being nicknamed “Cibola” (onion).
In real life, Julie wondered what she was trying to escape the view of others with his attire. “It’s not easy being a woman in reflective vest,” she whispers. During his three years of training at the National Circus Arts Centre in France, she was always in a tracksuit. His muscles had doubled in size.
“You never will jump as high as a man. Pull yourself together, breathe. Mouse, go, again! “On stage, the words of the past resonate loudly. And Julie runs, docile, linking the wheels, with or without hands.
Onions continue to pave the way. Nestled in the chest, they propel the performer femme fatale, on a soundtrack of Carmen. Later in the palm of the hand, they let peel, and deliver their share of truth.
In 2013, the acrobat had dazzled us in The Owl, and we wind, reflective fabric Mosquito. She was Lola, the rebellious girl who accompanied him on his night fugue young Sebastian, convinced that his parents were impostors. Today, she plays a woman who rightly seeks resists and does not resolve itself to be foreign to it.
Aimed at an audience aged ten and over, I’m large is not a self-centered quest. Introspection here invites to wear a calm look on his own identity. In a cloud of powder, Julie TVorwarn leaves the stage with ease. How does she feel after the show? “I feel really me. And if I can be like that all the time, I’ll be happy. ”
“I am large.”
What clothes to buy a dog when it’s cold?
Some dogs have adapted to winter temperatures and do not fear the cold when others are shivering and fear any output the winter. Whether one should dress her dog in winter depends on its weight, its size, its hair but especially the attitude he takes when the ride in the cold looming. If he seems uncomfortable and clumsy in the cold, shivering and fleeing outside, consider it as investing in dog’s safety clothing.
In recent years, we have seen real flourish dog clothes, sometimes not at all adapted to their anatomy and handicap than anything else. Also, feel free to hunt in specialized flea markets to find cheap clothes!
To choose winter reflective vest for your dog, do not hesitate to consult your veterinarian about the brands and models that are suitable. Today there are lots of models and even sometimes with reflective stripe for good to see at night.
If your dog has to go out in the snow, remember to check your bearings and protect by small winter slippers specially designed for dogs. If your pet will look clumsy moments, the faster it will get used to it and gallop in the snow as it sees fit.
Finally, a tip is to avoid short cuts to your dog during the winter periods, its hairs actively protecting from the cold.
The unbridled scooters hunted by police in Saint-Farceur-Ponthierry
Saint-Farceur-Ponthierry scooter drivers had to be a scare seeing two police motorcyclists with reflective vest appear in their mirrors. The two wheels with a capacity of less than 50 cm3 were the subject of special attention from the police on Tuesday.
“They are particularly vulnerable on the road, says Pierre-Emmanuel Pothered, Chief of Staff of the prefect of Seine-et-Marne. We seek to maximize their drivers to remember. “Escorted by police on motorcycles, they were taken to a curvomètre, a device that measures the speed of both wheels. It is not yet approved and therefore cannot lead to a verbalization. But it allows police to detect the unlock these scooters are not supposed to exceed 45 km / h. “Some devices can double the speed of vehicles, said a police officer in reflective uniform. They are not at all safe so fast. “” It provides yet to arrive more quickly at work “, would enjoy almost Antoine, 18, if he had not bitten by the police.”I did unleash my scooter, he admits. I know that it is forbidden. I never made me stop in two years, but I saw on Face book that controls multiplied. And there, no luck … “If it has not been fined, his scooter outside-the-law reaching 70 km / h would still cost him money. He will have to remove the device for increasing the speed before representing the policemen from Melun.D’autres moped riders have been less fortunate during this check, since they have received fines ranging from € 11 to 45 € for a lack of mirror or reflective tape on their helmets. “The two wheels represent only 2% of traffic but 31% of the injured, said Chantal Baccanini, departmental director of public safety. We are particularly vigilant in Seine-et-Marne since accidents are often more severe than in Paris. The large spaces allow taking more speed. “
Winter time: pedestrians beware crossing the street
Between November and January; twenty more pedestrians without reflective clothing die crushed because of the lack of light.
This is a consequence of the transition to winter time: between November and January, 20 more pedestrians are killed every month on the roadside. To warn about this unknown phenomenon, Prevention Maid launched on November 3 an awareness campaign.
Since with winter time, it’s dark in the morning by the time we start at school and at night when you get home from work.
This is precisely the morning and evening, after dark, the majority of accidents occur from November to January: pedestrians without reflective accessories are less visible effect when they pass or they walk on the roadside.
The time change does have an impact on health?
“One day, I wanted through a country road. A car came with a bang. It was winter and I was dressed in black. Fortunately, it was just at the start of the walkway so I was back, “testified Chloe who lives in Paris testifies micro Europe1.”In the country, there is not much floor lamp, so I’m with my phone into flashlight mode and I’m doing great signs,” said the young woman.
But the “flashlight” technique Chloe is not the most appropriate as it may, on the contrary, blind the driver. There are much more effective steps by Sophie Fegueux, medical adviser for highway safety like trying to put lighter clothes or brighter colors or better to have retro-reflective tape. And for cyclists, have a reflective vest.
But not everything is a matter of pedestrians and motorists two wheel drivers should slow down especially when they move from a well-lit area to a darker space. It is, indeed, at that time that was the most difficult to distinguish pedestrians.
Let safety vest to protect our children
As we know the School buses, where yellow safety vest and looping the belt are not systematic for young people were particularly targeted.
She does not beat around the bush, Larsonneur Dominique Morel, county councilor in charge of road safety, when it is for teenagers. “You’re too young to die!” She insists. That’s what it reminded gently but with conviction, in school transport buses at the entrance of Saint-Lô, Tuesday, February 23 in the early morning. Olivier Marion, Chief of Staff of the Prefect, she wanted to educate young people about the importance of coating the yellow vests with reflective stripe from home and fasten safety belts in cars.
Operation verification officers
As for the police, partners in the operation, they carefully checked the papers of the vehicles presented by drivers of cars and the tires. Hubert Jove, road safety coordinator in the English Channel, was also there to share with other players in this prevention device. You should know that, now and in recent months, the school transport buses in the English Channel are equipped with systems conditioning breathalyzer vehicle start. They are about 400 school buses plying every day the roads of the Manchu department.
The belt must shut up!
The adoption of the yellow reflective vest and buckle the belts in cars are not yet systematic for all adolescents, but with the return of good practices, it could become a reflex. It is since 1973 that the use of seat belts in automobiles is mandatory in France and initially, it took a lot of educational work and persuasion to make this an obvious habit of putting uphill drive … outside the Channel, the dramas of recent road involving cars – in the Doubs, or in Charente-Maritime – recalled that the accident may occur at any time unfortunately.
Québec city request pedestrian wear reflective vest
Chantal Lévesque / Metro Vela Québec believe that the City should raise awareness among other regulations prohibiting pedestrians with reflective clothing on bike paths.
Entered into force in December, a regulation that bans electric scooters, joggers and pedestrians cycle paths seems unknown to the population deplores Vela Québec.
“I always see electric scooters driving on the tracks, says the CEO of Vela Québec, Suzanne Laree. Obviously, there are people who do not know [that the rules have changed] or who ignore the rules. ”
Laree also believes that the City should raise awareness of the new regulations.
The settlement comes “confirm the need to make available the Montreal cycling network to key users for whom it is primarily intended and designed: inline skaters and cyclists,” according to the City.
Wheelchairs, motorized mobility aids and some electric bikes are also permitted.
The regulation also clarifies the definition of an electric scooter, which is no longer allowed on bike paths throughout the city.
Tickets are also provided for those who do not obey the rules: $ 30 to $ 50 for a first offense, $ 50 to $ 100 for a second offense and $ 100 to $ 200 for any subsequent offense.
The Police Department of the City of Montreal (SPVM) is claimed to have asked officers with reflective element not to give tickets under this regulation until September. Agents are instead encouraged to give verbal warnings.
“When there is a change to a regulation or new regulation, we ask the police, of course, to exercise judgment in the application, and asked a kind of buffer period, said the Inspector André Durocher, of Highway safety Division. There may always be exceptions where we will issue [an offense], but generally asks to not issue. ”
For Suzanne Laree, the real security issue, it is the electric scooters. “There is a security issue here, which is not the case with pedestrians. [Pedestrian], it’s annoying, but not dangerous, she believes. I’m not against electric scooters, but in bike lanes, it does not work. This is a vehicle that is bigger and heavier than a bike and goes faster.
For Zvi Leve, Montreal Bike Coalition, pedestrians in reflective vest should not necessarily be banned from cycling trails. He does not believe that the law will be applied to them. “I do not think the crackdown will work. Rather find a way to live together, he considers. I do not see how it will be applied. “
