LE JARDIN DES DELICES ou la Fête des métamorphoses

LE JARDIN DES DELICES ou LA FÊTE DES METAMORPHOSES

« J’ai entendu dire au loin que l’inintelligible était une manifestation de l’inintelligence, celle-ci ne recherchant que ce qu’elle possède déjà, ce qui l’empêche de faire de nouvelles découvertes »

NOVALIS

Fermée, l’œuvre de Bosch – réduite au format diptyque - représente en grisaille la naissance du monde. Une cosmogonie très distinctement développée sur le mode antique. Nous sommes au moment précis où libérée du brouillard originel – « l’ed » – la terre, sous l’aspect d’une colline primitive, émerge du milieu aquatique matriciel. Bosch représente cet instant où la Nature atteint son second souffle après le long bouillonnement de l’œuvre au sein du creuset. La force tranquille des éléments parachève cette lente incubation naturelle qui verra émerger peu à peu les unes des autres toutes sortes de figures minérales, végétales et animales. Certaines formes au premier plan évoquent déjà par leur aspect les étranges édifices du fond du panneau central situé à l’intérieur de l’œuvre. Cette perspective aérienne – très léonardesque – nous montre l’envers du décor. L’ébauche de la scène qui se jouera pour les siècles des siècles à venir, et représentée à l’intérieur de cette œuvre au format triptyque. Rompant avec la vision acceptée et défendue par l’Eglise d’une Genèse se développant par paliers successifs et statiques, Bosch a recours à une cosmogonie abandonnée depuis longtemps : « l’orbis » de la philosophie archaïque de la Nature, qui flotte tel un disque à l’intérieur de la sphère. Bosch nous offre à voir en guise de prologue le fondement de cette théosophie : l’éternel matin de la Création.

Au-dessus de cette « sphère incubatrice », apparait sur la gauche dans une percée nuageuse une figure en majesté (dans la posture dite du philosophe assis) avec comme attributs identitaires une tiare pontificale sur la tête, une médaille ou un sceau en pendentif et un livre tenu ouvert à main gauche.

Si discret – « au-dessus de la mêlée » – soit-il, dans cette nuée, ce personnage est détenteur d’un message à notre attention. Le doigt pointé vers le haut témoigne de l'importance de ce message et de l’assurance de son messager. Historiquement, le doigt pointé vers le ciel signifie que l'on est investi d'une « mission divine ». Le livre ouvert tenu à main gauche rappelle les tables de la loi telles que figurées dans les représentations canoniques de Moïse descendant du mont Sinaï. Ce personnage à la force tranquille pourrait bien être le roi Salomon incarnant la Sagesse. L’instrument du Démiurge. On retrouve d’ailleurs ce personnage et sa tiare pontificale chez Bosch de façon assez récurrente. Dans la Tentation de Saint-Antoine et dans l’Adoration des mages par exemple. Le livre ouvert symbolise le livre de la Sagesse. Le roi Salomon représente le Logos. D’ailleurs, dans le prolongement de cette percée céleste, suivant une oblique droite, une trouée dans les nuages les plus chargés du volet de droite laisse filtrer un rai de lumière. Fiat Lux. La lumière fait place aux ténèbres. L’ordre succède au chaos originel. L’œuvre nait du chaos primitif.

Au-dessus de cette « boule de cristal », également répartie sur les deux volets, se trouve encore cette inscription autographe (?) tout droit extraite du Psaume 33 : Ipse dixit et facta sunt. Ipse mandavit et creata sunt. Suivant la pensée aristotélicienne, Ipse serait « l’être pensant ». D’où cette traduction possible : L’être pensant l’a verbalisé et le grand œuvre a été accompli. Lui-même l’a commandité et les créatures ont été façonnées. Et le Psaume 33 de poursuivre : Du haut des Cieux, l’Eternel regarde. Il voit tous les fils d’Adam. D’où il est, il observe tous les habitants de la Terre. Lui seul peut lire dans leurs cœurs. Il discerne tous leurs actes.

Ouverte, l’œuvre de Bosch – développée au format triptyque – propose cette lecture qu’autorise un examen rapide et adoptée par la plupart des commentateurs : Volet gauche, le Jardin d’Eden.

Volet droit, l’Enfer qui menace les pêcheurs.

Au centre, le Paradis Originel où l’Homme après la faute doit choisir entre le Bien et le Mal.

Pourtant, un examen un peu plus approfondi nous interroge sur le manque de cohérence spatiotemporelle du thème traité par Bosch et par la même sur la pseudo-continuité de cette lecture de gauche à droite qui nous est « naturellement » proposée.

D’une part, il est quelque peu étonnant de trouver entre le Jardin d’Eden et l’Enfer une telle apologie de l’hédonisme, une telle déclinaison – polymorphe et débridée – du plaisir. Le plaisir des sens sous toutes ses coutures. Là où en fait on s’attendrait à trouver l’illustration plus nuancée – voire manichéenne – d’un comportement humain balancé entre le Bien et le Mal. Un étalage du comportement humain où scènes pieuses et scènes vénielles, voire pour certaines mortelles, au mieux s’opposeraient et au pire se chevaucheraient. D’autre part, il est surprenant de constater que s’il y a bien une pseudo-continuité spatiale, topographique, stylistique et colorimétrique entre le volet de gauche et le panneau central, le volet de droite quant à lui tombe ici un peu comme un cheveu sur la soupe. Contraste stylistique et colorimétrique complet. Mais aussi rupture spatiale et topographique. Certes il pourrait s’agir ici de la projection de la menace de l’Enfer promis aux infidèles et brandie par la Sainte Inquisition. Telle une palissade sur laquelle se trouverait placardée et fustigée l’image du Mal dans ses œuvres les plus perverses. Mais c’est là que se pose le paradoxe. Rien ne nous autorise à croire que ce triptyque pouvait être destiné à un quelconque retable d’église. Trop de nudité apparente. Trop d’inconvenance vis-à-vis de l’orthodoxie. Trop d’effusion vis-à-vis du dogmatisme. Des hommes, des femmes, des blancs, des noirs – nus comme des vers – mélangés au sens propre comme au figuré, traités sur un même pied d’égalité, sans distinction ni de sexe, ni de classe, ni de condition. Un « échangisme » manifeste. Un libertinage affranchi et ouvert... Inconcevable en cette époque ô combien trouble de chasse aux sorcières.

Alors germe cette incroyable idée : la lecture de ce triptyque ne devrait-elle pas plutôt se faire de gauche à droite ? Lecture inversée qui nous permettrait peut-être de recouvrer une cohérence spatiotemporelle au sujet traité par Bosch… Le volet droit ne serait plus une scène de l’Enfer, mais l’enfer de notre condition humaine. Un authentique manifeste du comportement humain perverti et corrompu dans notre basse existence sur cette Terre. Le panneau central deviendrait alors le lieu de la métamorphose. Un « happening ». Un événement. La Fête des métamorphoses d’inspiration pythagoricienne devenue réalité. La Fontaine de Jouvence en arrière-plan apparait alors très distinctement comme l’élément central de cette célébration. Autour d’elle, dans un mouvement de ballet perpétuel, s’articule la nébuleuse humaine, animale et hybride dans tous ses états. Le volet de gauche n’est plus non plus la représentation du Jardin d’Eden originel, mais celle du Retour aux sources. Aux sources de l’antique civilisation égyptienne. Retour aux sources du Nil donc, matérialisé d’une part – sur la gauche – par cet arbre de Vie aux allures de dragonnier (référence explicite faite à la Fuite en Egypte de Dürer) et un peu plus haut sur la droite par cet élément de paysage anthropomorphique : profil arcimboldesque aux allures de Vieux (Sage) de la Montagne. Au sommet de son crâne, en guise de couvre-chef, s’élève un autre arbre mythique : l’arbre de la Connaissance du Bien et du Mal. Mais cet arbre autour duquel s’enroule un serpent, évoque aussi la forme symbolique du caducée. Attribut d’Hermès. Hermès trismégiste. Le messager des dieux. Le passeur d’âme. Le guide de l’initiation sacrée. Le maître des métamorphoses. Eh puis, cette idée de lecture inversée se transforme dans notre esprit encore bouillonnant en inversion matérielle pure et simple. Inversion physique, structurelle, des deux volets latéraux. Une inversion sciemment réalisée pour brouiller les pistes de ce manifeste originellement impie, sacrilège et blasphématoire. Le manifeste des Hommes de l’Intelligence, disciples du Libre-Esprit et de la Dévotion moderne, ou bien encore de cette variante espagnole, les Alumbrados. Résurgence tardive des anciens cultes gnostiques. De la gnose des adorateurs de la déesse-Mère, alias Alma Mater. Et cette simple inversion structurelle aurait ainsi réussi – ou presque – mine de rien, à enfermer ce triptyque pendant près de cinq siècles – un demi-millénaire – dans la camisole de force d’un ascétisme théologal et moral en parfait accord avec l’orthodoxie en vigueur. En bref, à imposer d’un simple tour de passe-passe une lecture inversée politiquement correcte !

Il est à présent l’heure de prendre nous aussi notre second souffle après cette incroyable « rétroversion ». Observons le triptyque ainsi recomposé. Force est de constater que l’œuvre de Bosch retrouve sa cohérence spatiotemporelle originelle. Une parfaite continuité de lecture de gauche à droite nous est maintenant « artificiellement » proposée. Nous ne nous attarderons pas à décrypter chaque « scénette » l’une après l’autre. D’autres s’y sont attelés avant nous. Et même si aucun d’entre eux détenaient les clefs de ce triptyque inversé, leur remarquable travail de « cryptanalyse » a tout de même contribué à rétablir une grammaire boschienne très proche de la vérité historique. Nous citerons entre autres Wilhelm Fraenger, Jacques van Lennep, Charles Prost, Frédéric Elsig et plus récemment Annick Drevet-Tvermoès, pour ce qui est des plus perspicaces. Pour faire concis, deux niveaux de lecture possibles. D’une part l’iconographie dite alchimique, plus largement qualifiée d’hermétique (incluant le registre de la langue des oiseaux). D’autre part le modus operandi chamanique (incluant l’ingestion de champignons et autres substances hallucinogènes).Ces deux niveaux, symbolique et gestuel, servant de base rituelle au cérémonial adamite. Le culte d’Adam compte parmi les signes caractéristiques du début de la Renaissance. Une synthèse s’était alors opérée dans le vieil héritage platonicien, augustinien, néo-pythagoricien et gnostique. Elle avait donné naissance à toute une philosophie ou « théosophie » qui voyait dans « l’Homme originel » le symbole d’un renouveau intérieur et de l’accession de l’homme à une humanité pure et libre. Cette nouvelle vision de « l’Homme originel » avait trouvé son expression la plus magnifique chez les contemporains méditerranéens de Bosch, au sein de l’Académie néoplatonicienne de Florence dont furent notamment Marsile Ficin et Pic de la Mirandole… mais aussi Leonard de Vinci. Adam – situé entre l’animalité et la divinité – est le Protée de la métamorphose universelle. Groupés en communautés ésotériques organisées un peu comme des loges, les Hommes de l’Intelligence, disciples du Libre-Esprit et de la Dévotion moderne, ou bien encore de cette variante espagnole, les Alumbrados, étaient ainsi adeptes d’une gnose singulière, croisement entre l’Eros platonicien et l’agape johannique. Ils se considéraient tous comme les « Fils d’Adam », unis par des liens de parenté effectifs. Les femmes pénétraient dans ces cercles en partenaires égales, enfin libérées de la condition d’infériorité et de l’étiquette de « portes de Satan » auxquelles les avait condamné l’Eglise. Selon le mythe platonicien, « l’Homme originel » unit en lui, en une pure unité androgyne, le principe « solaire » (céleste) masculin et le principe « chtonien » (terrestre) féminin. La part spirituelle divine de l’Homme a conservé la faculté de retourner à la lumière grâce à la « réinco

268. Les marchés de Noël

2011-12-08T12:16:31+01:00

C'est la période des marchés de Noël donc. Celui de Tours se tient en partie place de la gare et sur le boulevard Heurteloup.

Voici une idée de sortie pour le prochain week-end : un marché de Noël se tiendra les 10 et 11 décembre dans le cadre attrayant du château de Cangé, à Saint-Avertin. Avis aux amateurs !

J'irai bien sûr y faire un tour car ma copine Catherine fait partie des exposants.

Foire de la Saint-Martin ce vendredi à ALBY-SUR-CHERAN

2011-11-10T16:16:20+01:00

Venez découvrir sur place :

produits du terroir,
fricassée,
spectacle déambulatoire,
fête foraine, pêche à la truite, artisans du Val d'Aoste ...

Avec les premiers frimas reviennent les foires traditionnelles d’automne.

C’est l’occasion de goûter aux joies des repas de saison : le boudin, le bidoyon, les châtaignes …

Dans le bourg médiéval d’Alby-Sur-Chéran, chaque 11 novembre, se tient la Foire de la Saint-Martin. A cette occasion, les musiciens de l’harmonie Les Echos du Chéran préparent, de manière ancestrale, la célèbre « fricacha coffa ».

La fricassée de caion est le traditionnel repas savoyard de novembre. C’est un ragoût de porc qui mijote doucement dans les marmites depuis le petit matin. Sa sauce, un secret bien gardé de notre chef cuisinier, fait le ravissement du palais des gastronomes.

La fête de la Toussaint

2011-11-01T07:30:00+01:00

La solennité de la Toussaint rassemble bon nombre de pratiquants occasionnels qui viennent prier pour leurs morts le 1er novembre. Sans doute ce n'est pas l'objectif de la fête de la Toussaint, mais leur participation peut être l'occasion pour eux de reprendre conscience du sens de la vie humaine. La Toussaint leur rappelle que la vie humaine s'achève dans la vie totale avec Dieu au delà de la vie terrestre. L'évocation des saints du ciel nous apporte une lumière pour la vie actuelle.

La fête de la Toussaint témoigne de l'espérance chrétienne devant la mort. Elle atteste qu' à la fin de notre existence terrestre la vie n'est pas détruite, elle est transformée. C'est la fête de la vie éternelle, la fête du ciel. Chaque personne est appelée à ressusciter un jour avec le Christ et à être associée à sa résurrection et à son bonheur éternel. La solennité de la Toussaint est la fête joyeuse de la victoire du Christ dans la vie de beaucoup d'hommes.

La solennité de la Toussaint est la fête de tous les saints, de tous ceux qui sont admis à partager le bonheur de Dieu. Ils nous attendent et nous tendent la main : grands saints et saints anonymes qui ont entendu le message des béatitudes et y ont répondu. C'est la fête de tous les saints connus et inconnus. C'est la fête de la grande foule des saints qui n'ont pas été "canonisés" c'est-à-dire reconnus comme « saints » officiellement par l'Église.

La fête de tous les saints par Mgr Albert-Marie de Monléon, o.p., évêque de Meaux

Sens de la fête de la Toussaint

La solennité de la Toussaint est présentée actuellement comme la fête de tous les saints anonymes qui n'ont pas été reconnu officiellement par l'Église. Au point de vue pastoral, elle est un appel qui s'adresse à tous de devenir des saints, la sainteté n'étant pas une réalité exceptionnelle. Mais ce n'est pas la signification originelle de la Toussaint. Elle a été instituée pour se substituer à la célébration celtique de Samhain qui est devenue Halloween (cf article d'hier sur Halloween). Officiellement proposée par Louis le Pieux en France en 835. Peu à peu, les Eglises Occidentales adoptèrent cette date du 1er novembre. En 1580, le Pape Sixte VI en fit une grande fête chrétienne, qui deviendra fête d'obligation (c'est à dire une fête ou l'on est obligé d'aller à la messe) par Pie X.

La solennité de la Toussaint est marquée par le chant de la litanie des saints qui invoque tous les grands saints. La fête de la Toussaint est une invitation à prier les saints plutôt que de se préoccuper des esprits des morts, un chant vers la joie de la vie éternelle plutôt qu'une supplique laconique dans les ténèbres. Le 2 novembre est lui, consacré à la commémoration des défunts.

SUR CE... NOUS VOUS SOUHAITONS UNE BONNE FETE DE LA TOUSSAINT !!!

Mais uma grande desta em Maisons Alfort

2011-06-24T19:02:00+02:00

Decorreu no passado domingo dia 19 de Junho mais uma grande festa na cidade de Maisons Alfort (94) este evento foi organizado pela associação Franco Portuguesa, presidida pelo Alexandre Silva e decorreu ao abrigo debaixo de uma auto-estrada com muito espaço para fazer este tipo de festa.

No inicio da tarde começou o festival de folclore com os rancho seguintes : Verde Minho que e o rancho da associação organizadora, Rancho Minhoto que nos chegou da região de Orleães , Primavera de Ris Orangis , Mocidade La Queue en Brie , Ribatejanos de Saint Ouen , Compagnons de Versailles.

De seguida foi o desfile de artistas e foi o Fabricio que abriu o baile seguido da Celine e depois o Tony Gama, para fechar foi o DJ da discoteca Foz-Club em Creteil que meteu o fogo ao recinto (lol) esta discoteca foi um dos patrocinadores desta festa, como foi o super-mercado Les Halls du Portugal , o Tuga Magazine o site www.1portugal.com e muitos mais.

Para quem quer ver imagens desta festa que gravamos perto de quatro horas, mas o som alem de ser de muito boa qualidade teve muitas falhas devido a ma utilização dos microfones wi-fi , as imagens que gravamos são de fraca qualidade visto que o palco esta situado contra o sol e o excesso de luz impede ter imagens de mais qualidade.

Para resolver esta situação e necessário instalar um plástico "bache" escura na parte de traz de palco sobre a dimensão toda do palco, já foi o segundo ano consecutivo que filmamos esta festa e nas duas tivemos o mesmo problema , para nos e frustrante de gastar tanto tempo a filmar e a montar as imagens para obter um resultado medíocre.

Também vão estar disponíveis as fotos tiradas nesta festa no faceboock procure Tuga Magazine, também vai sair uma reportagem na revista distribuída gratuitamente na região de Paris para a edição do mês de setembro.

One million Bangladesh homes on solar power

2011-06-17T05:22:09+02:00

The number of households in electricity-starved Bangladesh using solar panels has crossed the one million mark -- the fastest expansion of solar use in the world, officials said Wednesday.

In 2002, just 7,000 households were using solar panels but now more than a million households -- or some five million people -- gather solar energy, said Nazmul Haq of the Infrastructure Development Company (IDCOL).

"It's the fastest expansion of solar energy anywhere in the world," said Haq, who heads the state-run IDCOL, which provides financing for clean energy projects.

"We crossed the one million threshold more than 18 months ahead of schedule (and) we have set a new target to cross 2.5 million by 2014," he said.

Rural households in Bangladesh are frequently not on the state electrical grid and so have embraced solar power, helped by NGOs providing panels which can be paid for in small monthly instalments.

Some 60 percent of Bangladesh's 150 million people have no access to mains electricity, with many relying on costly kerosene lamps for lighting.

Years of under-investment in infrastructure means state-owned power plants generate only around 4,700 megawatts of electricity a day against demand of 6,000 megawatts -- which is growing by 500 megawatts a year.

A World Bank report last month said solar panels had "changed the face of the remote, rural areas of Bangladesh," by providing cheap, reliable electricity.

Study Reveals Bariatric Surgery Less Effective in Middle-Aged Adults

2011-06-15T05:00:20+02:00

re morbidly obese and middle-aged, weight-loss surgery may not decrease your chances of dying, according to a study published Sunday in the online . Morbidly obese isas having a body mass index greater than 39 and generally means someone who is 100 pounds or more overweight.

Researchers were interested in studying the mortality rates of middle-aged and older adults after bariatric surgery. Data available prior to this study was based almost solely on young, white females who had had the weight-loss surgery. That group of individuals has a lower incidence of mortality related to obesity even before bariatric surgery than do older adults, according to study researchers.

The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of weight-loss surgery in populations with an increased risk of death related to obesity; these populations wereas being highest in men and minority populations.

The research team studied follow-up data for 850 men with a mean age of 49.5 years and a mean BMI of 47.4 for an average of 6.2 years.The men in the study had the weight-loss surgery between the years 2000 and 2006. Their mortality (death) rate was compared to a control group of 41,000 other men who did not have the surgery, reports . All the men were patients at medical centers of Veterans Affairs.

Researchers concluded that bariatric surgery in morbidly obese middle-aged men did not decrease their risk of death compared with care that did not include the surgery. Still, this populationfor weight-loss surgery based on factors other than mortality rate, such as the reduction of body weight, control of obesity-related health conditions and improved quality of life.

In the United States, weight-loss surgery usually involves one of four procedures, explains the . The four procedures, each with its own risks and benefits, are: adjustable gastric band (AGB); Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB); biliopancreatic diversion with a duodenal switch (BPD-DS); and vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG). The AGB works by decreasing food intake while the other surgeries involve not only the decreased ability to take in food but also affect food absorption and other factors.

Your physician will weigh conditions such as your health, obesity-related health conditions and your eating behaviors in helping to determine which, if any, of the weight-loss surgeries would be to your benefit. The outcome of this new study into mortality rates following bariatric surgery may be a factor in your consideration of the procedure now also.

Prada IPO five times subscribed: source

2011-06-12T14:16:56+02:00

Italian fashion house Prada, which is seeking to raise up to $2.6 billion through a Hong Kong IPO, has generated five times demand for its offer, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Sunday.

The source declined to say which institutions have committed funds to the IPO or at what price point was the book covered. The information was based on road shows up to last Thursday, the source added.

The Milan fashion house, known for its leather handbags, brightly-colored shoes and long boots, launched the retail portion of the IPO on Sunday.

It set an indicative price range of HK$36.5 ($4.69) to HK$48 ($6.17) a share for the IPO, confirming a Reuters story issued last week. That values the company between $11.4 billion and $14.6 billion.

The source declined to be indentified as the information is not public. A Prada spokesman declined to comment.

Strong demand for Prada's initial public offering comes at a time when investors have balked at some recent Hong Kong offers amid choppy stock markets.

"Despite recent market volatility, the Prada team is very optimistic (about the IPO)," Prada's Chief Executive Patrizio Bertelli told reporters via video conference link from Milan.

A successful IPO will make it the first Italian company to float in Hong Kong, adding to the growing list of consumer brands seeking to list here.

However, fragile market sentiment has weighed down on some recent offerings, with luggage maker Samsonite International SA (1910.HK) pricing its $1.25 billion IPO at the bottom of a revised price range, while startup Australian miner Resourcehouse pulling its $3.6 billion sale.

"We are not worried at all, just a little tired from the road show," said Carlo Mazzi, deputy chairman of Prada said. "We are not worried or stressed about the offering."

After scrapping several attempts to list its shares in the past, Prada is offering 16.5 percent of its enlarged capital, or 423.3 million shares. At the top end of the range, the IPO is being priced at 27 times projected 2011 earnings, higher than the average of European top luxury groups such as Tod's (TOD.MI), Burberry (BRBY.L), and LVMH (LVMH.PA).

Some investors expect the IPO to be priced at the middle of the indicative range due to skittish sentiment.

The Prada management said the IPO price range was reasonable and represents the value in the company. It did not share the view that the offer was expensive.

A successful IPO -- designed to cut Prada's debt of around 1 billion euros and fund further expansion in Asia -- would make Prada one of the most valuable luxury goods groups, but some fund managers balked at the price range.

Prada, 95 percent owned by the families of Chief Executive Bertelli and his fashion designer wife Miuccia Prada, is betting on a boom in the consumption of luxury items in China, the world's second-largest economy, to lure investors to the IPO.

China will account for 20 percent of the global luxury market by 2015, consulting firm McKinsey & Co says.

The IPO is slated to be priced on June 17 and the shares will start trading in Hong Kong on June 24 under the symbol "1913," the year the company was founded in Milan.

The 423.3 million shares are being sold by Prada and shareholders Prada Holding BV and Intesa Sanpaolo (ISP.MI).

Prada started its business in 1913, when Mario Prada began selling leather bags, trunks and silverware to the European elite from his store in Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele.

The company has since expanded throughout Europe, the United States and Asia to include mobile phones, perfumes and eyewear.

Profit more than doubled in the year ended January 2011 to 235.6 million euros. Prada said in a Hong Kong filing on Friday it expected half-year profit to rise 46 percent.

Goldman Sachs (GS.N), Credit Agricole's (CAGR.PA) CLSA brokerage and Italian banks UniCredit SpA (CRDI.MI) and Intesa Sanpaolo's Banca IMI unit, both on Prada's board, are joint bookrunners and global coordinators of the IPO.

LA PENTECOTE ET MOI

2011-06-12T03:25:00+02:00

les villes se sont vidées...En route pour la plupart d'entre Nous , à la plage , ou la campagne...pour Certains meme, à l'étranger..le dernier week end prolongé, avant l'été....est arrivé : la Fete de la Pentecote!

les Guinguettes et Canotiers accueilleront à midi, pour un repas joyeux et un bal l'après midi... les Pecheurs qui ont retrouvé leur pèche, des longs jours d'été!

Je me souviens gamine, nous faisions déjà des projets pour le début de l'été, les Bacs et autres examens se révisaient, pour pouvoir s'évader, sans soucis de rattrapages à l'Automne.

pour les plus jeunes, les "communions solennelles" avaient eu lieu, les parents commençaient leurs soirées "retrouvailles".bref les traditions transmises renaissaient!

Aujourd'hui , la Société a évolué.. et, assez différement! les Fetes en Familles se perdent,..les Etudiants révisent toujours, mais sans emmener livres et cahiers , chez leur Grand parents ,ou Oncles et Tantes,..Il vivent plus librement!

Ce samedi, la célèbre course des 24heures du Mans a eu lieu, les médias l'ont evoqué, moins.. qu'il y a quelques années, pourtant, les inconditionnels y etaient.

2011 est une année difficile, pourtant.. chacun aspire à pouvoir profiter , de ces mois aux jours longs et, "favorisés" en général, par la Météo.

la Pentecote.. quand j'etais enfant et ado...cette Fete, symbolisait, un bilan du premier semestre de l'année, ces six derniers mois, n'ont été que catastrophes naturelles, et problèmes économiques! Pourtant, les voitures ont pris l'Autoroute, mais les "coeurs" sont un peu plus "lourds" !

pour certain(e)s, les traditions se perdent, l'éducation a changé, les violences de ces dernières années, en font oublier.. l'odeur de la saison nouvelle! je trouve cette façon de vivre, un peu triste..quant aux rebondissements économiques pas brillants, ... cette épidémie , étrange.(.qui nous a plus ou moins rendus méfiants envers nos produits frais degustés aux beaux jours)..tous ces faits donnent lieu, à se poser, pas mal de questions, qui estompent pour la société, , la façon d'envisager l'été sereinement!

les festivals musicaux commencent pourtant, moi qui ait retrouvé la Capitale, je suis moralement positive, Je retourne volontiers dans cette campagne. en pleine mutation, ou les gens dans leurs activités, stagnent , accablés d'un problème supplémentaire, causé par, ces mois chauds, qu'ils ont eu au printemps...rebond des Années76..

Bien sur, un peu partout, les repas de famille se font encore, les mariages et baptèmes "fleurissent" aussi..mais, l'ambiance est moins légère, on ressent "le souci des mois à venir... ,une incertitude latente en découle"!

les gamins ont toujours le sourire, mais face aux dangers d'aujourd'hui.. les cris et éclats de rire, se font moins entendre, dans les squares, les Parents se méfient...

Elle est loin la Pentecote des années 80!

Dave a été hospitalisé, et se remet du pontage qu'il a subi,alors que les Sixties, continuent leur tournée, qui comble le pays...Demain , les heures compteront double, entre solitude pour beaucoup, ou repas ou les débats feront objet de tension, la Pentecote perpétuera , "en souriant", sa tradition sans toutefois, trop d'illusions!

pour ma part, je pouponnerai le petit Dernier, qui j'espère d'ici 3 ou 4 ans, évoluera dans une société reconstruite.....et..plus avisée!

profitez de la couleur des fleurs, Elles, au moins, n'ont pas changé!, à trop vouloir formater une nouvelle façon de vivre, la Terre a "clashé"... au niveau Nature comme économique..l'été se profile, doucement.

il est temps , pour moi d'aller me coucher" Dimanche est déjà "né" et, dans cette région ou je passerai la semaine, malgré les difficultés, les Festivités sont lancées....

LA GRANDE JAJA! Bon Week end...."liberté" cette tradition reste à savourer avec joie et "paix!

Yemen unlikely to hit oil supplies, price: experts

2011-06-11T04:47:05+02:00

Yemen's unrest is unlikely to disrupt oil supplies through the strategic Bab al-Mandab straits, experts said on Sunday after the country's injured president went abroad for medical treatment.

The clashes intensified with an assassination attempt on President Ali Abdullah Saleh that forced him on Saturday to seek treatment in neighbouring Saudi Arabia after his compound in Sanaa was shelled.

The escalation comes at a time when global demand for oil appears to be waning and as OPEC is expected to consider raising output for the first time in almost 30 months to curb high prices.

"The strategic region had seen major troubles in the past but oil supplies through Bab al-Mandab have never stopped even in the presence of the threat of Somali pirates," Saudi economist Abdulwahab Abu-Dahesh said.

"If unrest spreads into a full-scale civil war, I don't think it will have a significant impact on oil supplies and consequently prices," Abu-Dahesh told AFP.

Large quantities of merchandise and shipping pass through the Bab al-Mandab waterway which links the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean through the Red Sea and Suez Canal.

Over three million barrels per day (bpd), out of around 20 million bpd of crude exports from the Gulf region, pass through the straits northward to Europe and the United States and southward to Asia.

Closure of the Bab al-Mandab would block trade through the Suez Canal, apart from within the Red Sea region.

Neil Partrick, ab associate at the London-based Royal United Services Institute, a private think-tank on security and defence issues, said closure would be very difficult.

"The international maritime policing presence in the area, which may well be stepped up, is likely to prevent that happening," Partrick said, asked if hostilities in Yemen could close the Bab al-Mandab.

"If Yemen, and this is a big if, slides into a full-scale civil war and chaos, it does not necessarily mean there will be a sustained disruption of oil supplies. But it certainly raises security concerns," he said.

"I am not trying to downplay the concerns, but at the same time I don't want to be too alarmist."

Oil traders have been building in a risk premium linked to tensions in the Middle East and North Africa, but this has been offset by fears of weaker demand over worrying US economic data.

Yemen itself produces around 300,000 bpd, most of it is exported, making its supply to the world market almost a non-factor with neighbouring OPEC kingpin Saudi Arabia boasting around three million bpd of spare capacity alone.

"Oil prices were not impacted even when OPEC member Libya halted exports because there are fears that demand for crude may drop and there is a huge surplus in world markets," Abu-Dahesh said.

"I don't think that Yemen's unrest will add a big premium on oil prices."

Also, Saudi Arabia can bypass Bab al-Mandab with its east-west oil pipeline by diverting exports from its Red Sea ports in the west to the Gulf coast in the east, Abu-Dahesh said.

But Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, based in Yemen, remains a threat, especially with Yemen bordering Saudi Arabia and fellow oil producer Oman.

Fox: No plans to suspend Palins contract because of bus tour

2011-05-29T00:39:37+02:00

s about to embark on a campaign-style bus tour,

“We are not changing Sarah Palin’s status,” said Bill Shine, the executive vice president of programming at Fox News, in a statement provided to The Daily Caller.

Palin’s “One Nation” bus tour, starting in Washington on Sunday and making its way into New England, could be the sign of a Palin presidential campaign to come. Palin’s political action committee, SarahPAC, announced the bus tour Thursday.

The tour is not described by SarahPAC as the beginning of an exploratory campaign, but rather as a “good way to … appreciate the significance of our nation’s historic sites, patriotic events and diverse cultures.”

Two other Fox News contributors who are running or exploring a bid for president, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, had their contracts suspended by the network when it became clear they were thinking seriously about a White House run.

But it appears that Fox is waiting for more concrete signs from Palin that she’s actually preparing for a campaign before suspending her contract. She does not have any campaign infrastructure or staff in place in the early primary states.

Comcast Teams with Novatel To Offer 3G/4G Hot Spot

2011-05-09T11:17:19+02:00

intelligent" hot spot that will help boost Comcast's Xfinity Internet 2go mobile broadband. The pocket-sized MiFi 4082 router, which can accommodate standard 3G signals from Sprint Nextel as well as Clearwire's WiMAX 4G, where available, can connect up to five Wi-Fi-enabled devices up to 30 feet away, including cameras, tablets, laptops, e-readers or cameras.

Toss the USB Card

The hot spot eliminates the need to link those devices to an Internet-connected computer through USB data cards, also offered by Comcast. The expected 4G speed is six megabits per second for downloads and one Mbps for uploads.

Verizon Wireless launched a MiFi device for its high-speed Long Term Evolution network in January, also made by Novatel.

Internet customers can order the device for $25 from Comcast's web site, with an introductory monthly Xfinity fee of $40. After the yearlong promotion, the price is $55 per month. Without Xfinity's high-speed Internet plan, the cost is $75. The Nationwide Preferred plan offers unlimited 4G service and five gigabytes of 3G data.

"We're excited to assist Comcast in rolling out their next-generation Xfinity Internet 2go 4G/3G Mobile Hotspot device, perfect for watching TV and movies on the go," said Rob Hadley, chief marketing officer for Novatel. "The new MiFi 4082 delivers 4G speeds and complements Comcast's broad connectivity and entertainment offering perfectly, providing innovative services -- not only for the home, but now also on the go."

The MiFi 4082 is the latest in a series of Novatel MiFi products. It comes preloaded with MiFi OS, widgets and application support as well as an external E Ink display with status indicators for battery, signal strength, and number of connected devices. A microSD slot accommodating up to 32GB allows shared storage.

"This new product gives customers the flexibility to instantly create their own secure hot spot everywhere they go," said Tom Nagel, senior vice president and general manager of wireless services for Comcast. "Consumers want mobile Internet access for Wi-Fi-enabled devices like iPads, laptops and smartphones, and with this offering they can share their connection with family, friends or colleagues and can even watch TV and movies on the go."

Why Not Use A Smartphone?

Sprint's HTC EVO 4G, Apple's iPhone 4, and a growing number of smartphones, most recently Motorola's XPRT (on Sprint) also serve as mobile hot spots for Wi-Fi devices. So why invest in MiFi instead of a phone?

"Hot spots can drain a phone's battery very quickly," said mobile-devices analyst Avi Greengart of Current Analysis. "Using a separate device with a separate power supply can make a lot of sense." Novatel said its 1500mAh battery is good for more than four hours of usage and 60 hours of standby time.

Greengart added that Comcast also offers its mobile Internet service in a bundle with voice and cable TV that may be attractive. "It's a different kind of company than consumers typically buy cellular service from," he said.

Gas prices jump to $3.91 a gallon, heading to $4

2011-05-03T12:14:05+02:00

2 cents overnight — followed the shutdown of seven refineries in Texas, Alabama and Pennsylvania after severe storms this week. The shutdowns aren't expected to last more than a few days, but 750,000 to 1 million barrels a day of production has been interrupted, according to Tom Kloza, publisher and chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service.

The affected refineries mostly ship product to the Southeast, Midwest and Gulf Coast states, Kloza said. Motorists there will like see the biggest increases in pump prices.

Overall, economists say consumers continue to spend. But they know high gas and food prices are having an impact.

"The bad news is that consumer spending adjusted for inflation has lost the momentum it had in the last quarter of 2010," said Paul Dales, an economist with Capital Economics. .

Some economists think lower gas prices could encourage consumer spending in other areas, although the high unemployment rate will keep the economic recovery in low gear this year.

In other futures trading, heating oil rose 2.99 cents to settle at $3.2758 per gallon, gasoline futures gained 2.88 cents to settle at $3.3984 per gallon and natural gas rose 12.8 cents to settle at $4.761 on the Nymex.

In London, Brent crude rose 87 cents to settle at $125.89 on the ICE Futures exchange.

Domingo de Pascoa na sala Jean Vilar em Argenteuil

2011-04-27T17:48:58+02:00

Decorreu no passado dia 24 de Abril que foi o domingo de pascoa a habitual festa organizada pela associação "AGORA" que e uma das quatro associações Portuguesas desta cidade e por sinal e aquela que herdou da melhor data para realizar uma festa deste tipo e que já veio algo de incontornável na região de Paris .

O domingo de pascoa e o primeiro dia após os quarenta dias de quaresma e para quem viveu largos anos em Portugal na aldeia e foi o meu caso a partir do dia de carnaval ate a pascoa era uma seca, não havia bailes nem matines nem forma de engatar uma cachopa sem fazer muitas promessas "lol" ainda bem que o tipo ressuscitou se não estávamos "marafados" como diria o meu amigo Algarvio.

No inicio desta tarde foram os jovens das concertinas que abriram a festa seguida da atuação de vários ranchos folclóricos da região de Paris e representantes do Minho e do Ribatejo, de seguida foram os cantares ao desafio com dois artistas que nos chegaram de Portugal o conhecido Manuel Silva e a Arlette e depois ate o amigo Tubarão cantou umas quadras com uma voz arrazadinha derivado as noitadas de fado "lol"

Depois a noite foi animada com um grupo musical da região e de seguida foi um concerto de malhões três pelo preço de um "lol" para abrir foi a Ana Malhoa que canta "Latino" depois foi a vez da sua filhota que eu acho que tem uma voz muito bonita e tem bastante talento e depois tivemos direito ao mais conhecido dos três o amigo Zé Malhoa que canta e encanta com as suas belas canções.

Mais de duas mil pessoas assistiram a este espetáculo que decorreu com uma temperatura na sala perto dos quarenta graus a sombra o que não impediu que fosse uma noitada cheia de alegria, se tudo correr bem e as promessas forem cumpridas la estaremos para a edição 2012.

Stocks post gains after mixed earnings

2011-04-21T00:26:48+02:00

Johnson & Johnson led the Dow Jones industrial average higher on Tuesday. The health-care heavyweight rose 3 percent after reporting earnings that beat Wall Street's expectations. The company also raised its full-year earnings forecast.

Stocks traded in a narrow range. Other companies reported weak results and worries lingered over a warning from Standard & Poor's about U.S. government debt.

Zions Bancorporation rose 6 percent, the most of any company in the Standard & Poor's 500 index. The Utah bank reported a first-quarter profit after posting a loss a year ago. It also said customers were getting better at paying back loans, allowing the bank to set aside less money to cover defaults.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 52 points, or 0.4 percent, to 12,254 in afternoon trading. The Standard & Poor's 500 rose 5.5, or 0.4 percent, to 1,311. The Nasdaq composite rose 5, or 0.2 percent, to 2,740.

Major stock indexes posted their largest one-day drop in over a month Monday after S&P said it might lower its rating on U.S. government bonds if Washington failed to tackle its mounting debts. While the ratings agency kept its U.S. debt rating at AAA, the highest possible, it warned that there was a one-in-three chance it would downgrade U.S. debt within two years.

U.S. government bonds fared well despite the S&P warning. Bond prices moved higher Monday and again on Tuesday, lowering their yields. Economists and bond traders offered a handful of explanations. If S&P's warning prods Congress and the Obama administration to cut budget deficits sooner, it would likely lead to lower economic growth, leading traders to buy bonds.

"If it serves as a catalyst (for long-term debt reduction) then that's a good thing for Treasurys," said George Goncalves, head of U.S. rates strategy at Nomura Securities.

A slower economy would also lead the Federal Reserve to postpone any increases in interest rates, Goldman Sachs economists said in a note to clients. That would be another positive for bonds.

Goncalves said bond traders were more likely to worry about more immediate problems such as the looming fight in Congress over raising the federal debt limit, not the threat of a downgrade from S&P in 2013. "That's so far down the road," he said. "In this market, two years is an eternity."

The Commerce Department reported that builders broke ground in March on more new homes than analysts expected. Home construction rose 7.2 percent from February.

United States Steel Corp. rose 4 percent after announcing the sale of its 841-foot U.S. Steel Tower, Pittsburgh's tallest building, to a New york-based investment group.

Trucking company Paccar Inc. rose 4 percent after its income and revenues beat analysts' expectations.

Harley Davidson reported its income more than tripled, but missed Wall Street estimates. The motorcycle maker's stock fell 4 percent.

Texas Instruments Inc. fell less than 1 percent. The chip-maker said late Monday that the Japanese earthquake and tsunami set its production back, reducing first-quarter income and likely cutting into second-quarter growth.

Several tech giants including Intel Corp. and IBM Corp. are scheduled report results after the end of trading.

Stock futures lower ahead of Citigroup results

2011-04-18T21:35:28+02:00

U.S. stock index futures fell on Monday before a raft of corporate earnings, including Citigroup, while Greek debt concerns continued to cloud the global economic picture.

* Citigroup Inc (C.N), off 0.9 percent to $4.38 before the opening bell, is expected to report a drop in quarterly profit and revenue on Monday, as an uncertain trading environment and weak consumer loan demand hinder its efforts to move past the financial crisis. During the week of April 18, 110 S&P 500 companies are expected to report earnings.

* Halliburton Co (HAL.N), the world's No. 2 oilfield services company, advanced 2.8 percent to $48.15 in premarket trading after posting first-quarter results.

* Eli Lilly & Co (LLY.N) climbed 1.7 percent to $36.62 after the drugmaker reported better-than-expected first-quarter sales and earnings, fueled by overseas sales of its prescription medicines.

* Also due to report results on Monday is Texas Instruments (TXN.N).

* Athens repeated it has no plans to restructure its debt, denying a Greek media report it had already requested talks with its lenders as mounting speculation that it would need to cut a deal hit debt markets and the euro.

* China raised banks' required reserves for the fourth time this year on Sunday, stepping up efforts to fight high inflation in the world's second-largest economy.

* S&P 500 futures fell 9 points and were below fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures fell 74 points and Nasdaq 100 futures fell 15.25 points.

* Healthcare stocks will be in the spotlight after Swiss medical device maker Synthes (SYST.VX) confirmed it is in merger talks with Johnson & Johnson (JNJ.N). Reports said the U.S. company was in talks to buy it for about $20 billion. J&J shares edged up 0.7 percent to $60.97 in light premarket trade.

* NYSE Euronext (NYX.N) would likely want Nasdaq OMX Group (NDAQ.O) to offer a massive fee to guarantee that its takeover bid will pass antitrust regulatory muster before the NYSE is willing to engage in deal talks, two sources with knowledge of the matter said.

* European shares extended losses, with a key index slipping into negative territory for the year, as growing concerns over debt troubles in the euro zone periphery prompted investors to shun risky assets. (.EU)

* Stocks in Asia ex-Japan remained flat, with investors unconvinced that China's latest moves to cool its economy would hurt the global recovery.

* Encouraging economic indicators sent U.S. stocks higher on Friday but the S&P 500 fell for a second straight week, and some in the market pointed to strong resistance building around 1,340.

Volvo to invest $10-11 billion in next 5 years

2011-02-25T07:46:31+01:00

Volvo Cars said Friday it will invest $10-$11 billion worldwide over the next five years in an ambitious expansion following its acquisition by a Chinese owner.

CEO Stefan Jacoby's announcement came as Volvo unveiled plans to target fast-growing China for stronger sales. The company said it will open a production base in southwestern China and is looking at a possible second site in the northeast.

"We plan to invest $10-$11 billion over the next five years globally," Jacoby said in an interview. He said that will pay to develop a new vehicle platform and power train and to expand Volvo's presence in China.

Volvo was acquired in August from Ford Motor Co. by Geely Holding Group, one of China's small but ambitious automakers. The $1.5 billion deal — China's biggest foreign auto acquisition — secured Geely a respected global brand but also the challenge of turning around a perennial money-loser in a distant country.

Volvo plans to raise part of the cash for its investment plans in China, drawing on its Geely ties, Jacoby said. He said the Goteborg, Sweden-based company also is raising money from European investment banks and the government of Belgium, where it has a factory.

Jacoby, a German-born former president of Volkswagen Group of America, was appointed to lead management installed by Geely following the acquisition.

Volvo's China plans call for boosting sales to about 200,000 vehicles by 2015, up from 39,000 last year, Jacoby said. Worldwide, Volvo hopes to double sales to 800,000 by 2020.

"China plays a significant role in this growth plan," he said. "We have also significant growth plans in the United States and Europe and in very attractive overseas markets like Australia or Brazil."

China has become the centerpiece of global automakers' plans amid weak growth elsewhere.

It overtook the United States in 2009 as the biggest auto market by number of vehicles sold. And in 2010, total sales grew by an explosive 33 percent over the year before to 13.7 million vehicles, boosted by tax cuts and other incentives launched in response to the global crisis.

General Motors CEO Daniel Akerson this month called China the "crown jewel in the GM universe" and said his company will launch at least 20 new or redesigned cars here in coming years. GM, Toyota and other automakers are creating models to appeal to Chinese tastes.

"If Volvo wants to recover and wants more sales volume, China will definitely be a very important part of that," said Boni Sa, an auto industry analyst for CSM Worldwide.

Volvo has the advantage that Chinese buyers see it as a premium brand on a par with Mercedes Benz or BMW, in contrast to its less luxurious image elsewhere, Sa said. But he said Volvo needs to meet rising Chinese expectations by adding accessories such as leather seats and sophisticated entertainment and air conditioning systems.

"If Volvo can build the right car for Chinese customers, they will see significant growth in China," Sa said. "They need to build more cars that can meet Chinese customers' demands."

Volvo and Geely make an unusual pairing — an established European brand better known for safety than style and a 14-year-old Chinese upstart maker of compact sedans and other low-cost vehicles that is barely known abroad.

Geely's strategy calls for making Volvo a "completely independent automaker" and giving Jacoby's team independence in decision-making, Geely chairman Li Shufu said Friday in an interview.

Li said Geely can help Volvo understand China's booming auto market but will keep the brand separate from its mass-market Geely Auto brand. Geely Auto sold about 495,000 vehicles last year.

"What Geely Holding Group can do is to do its best to help Volvo's development in China," Li said. "Volvo's management decisions will be made completely by its own management team."

Volvo plans to create a production base in Chengdu in Sichuan province in the southwest. It said its China headquarters and design center will be in Shanghai. The company also is looking at a possible production site in Daqing in the northeast.

Jacoby said Volvo picked Chengdu in part because Geely has a factory there. Volvos currently are produced at a Ford joint venture in Chongqing, an hour's drive from Chengdu.

"We are planning to have our plant directly next door to the Geely plant so we can benefit from the infrastructure and shared services," he said. "That allows us to have a setup in a very quick time."

Chinese news reports have suggested Chengdu was picked because the Sichuan government put up some of the money to finance the Volvo acquisition, but Jacoby denied that.

Volvo also wants to appeal to Chinese tastes but has no plans to design a model exclusively for China, Jacoby said. He said the company already has found Chinese buyers want more interior room.

"We are are looking very carefully for specific needs of the Chinese customers," he said. "By manufacturing here we have the opportunity to adapt our cars and tailor-make our cars for the needs of the Chinese customers."

focus on antagonists as GPCR targets and on protein-dependent pathways, companies focusing on alternate G-protein-independent pathways are seen as more likely to succeed, given the higher therapeutic outcomes in this space.

Another promising area of drug discovery in thespace is “deorphanizing” the currently orphan GPCRs. With over 150 GPCRs for which endogenous ligand has not been identified till date, orphanare a potential laden area for therapeutic targets, and is poised to become the new name of the game, as scientists embark on this largely uncharted path of revelation and discovery.

Heinz to use Coca-Cola's plant bottle for ketchup

2011-02-23T22:37:49+01:00

H.J. Heinz Co. says it is making its iconic ketchup bottles a bit more green.

The food maker announced Wednesday that it will use Coca-Cola Co.'s plant-based plastic bottle technology for its ketchup.

Coca-Cola said it is the first partnership of its kind and they hope to push the use of its plant-based material into other parts of the food industry.

The world's largest soft-drink maker introduced the new bottle material in 2009. It's made with a mixture of traditional plastics and up to 30 percent plant-based material.

Coca-Cola hopes to eventually stop using traditional plastic, for which oil is a major ingredient.

Heinz said it will roll out the new bottle to the U.S. in June with 120 million bottles and plans to expand it globally.

The companies did not disclose the financial terms of the licensing agreement.

Heinz said the new material will increase its packaging costs at first but it does not plan to pass along those costs with higher prices.

Heinz and Coca-Cola said it could be the first of several agreements between the two companies, which they declined to detail but said could include work on distribution, purchasing, supply chain and health issues.
