<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Chateau du Clain in Poitiers was one of the Duc de Berry's numerous homes that no longer exists. He built the triangular bastion along the banks of the Clain, and in this view can be seen a wooden footbridge (with a foundation of three stone piers that still stand in the riverbed), with a square entrance tower and a drawbridge.  At right,  several separate buildings are depicted, one a chapel. The walls are cornered with corbelled and castellated towers, and within  are glimpsed high, decorated windows. The mountain peaks in the background are drawn in the Limbourgs' conventional style.<br />
In the middle ground, two peasants are shown reaping with sickles,  dressed in  loose shirts, drawers, and  straw hats.  The sheaves they have already made stand at the edge of the field, while more cut wheat lies drying. Across the stream, a man and woman are engaged in sheep shearing. Each holding an animal on one knee, they  cut  the  wool  with  a  kind  of shears  called forces, with the  shorn  wool  accumulating   at  their  feet.</p>
<p>In the tympanum, the crab of Cancer and Leo the lion traverse the clear summer sky.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:big;">This year G8 is in Japan</span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2008/06/14/japan-stron-quake-damages-atomic-power-plant/" target="_blank">Strong <strong>quake</strong> damages Japanese atomic power plant</a><br />
<a href="http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2007/07/16/fire-in-kashiwazaki-atomic-power-plant-japan-july-16th-2007/" target="_blank"><strong>Fire</strong> in Japanese atomic power plant<br />
</a><br />
<strong>G8 countries want new atomic power plants</strong>.<br />
Shame on Germany they don't want atomic power. The swines.<br />
Why not atomic power.</p>
<p>It's cheap. It's safe. It's even renewable, it's clever,<br />
reactors are running with pure oxygen and bubble gum.<br />
And, that's what all say: <strong>It's damn good money.</strong></p>
<p><strong>They become lobbists and advise / pay the Governments.<br />
Then the Governments meet and say: Let's build new atomic reactors.<br />
People </strong>say: <strong>Atomic energy is dangerous.<br />
Governments </strong>say:<strong> No, IAEA and ICRP </strong>say it's NOT.<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<a href="http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2008/05/14/ieae-want-to-be-a-member/" target="_blank">This is </a><strong><a href="http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2008/05/14/ieae-want-to-be-a-member/" target="_blank">IAEA</a><br />
</strong><a href="http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2008/05/14/what-is-icrp/" target="_blank">This is</a><strong><a href="http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2008/05/14/what-is-icrp/" target="_blank"> ICRP</a><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>The operators</strong> are ready to invest in their atomic power plants.<br />
That's nice of them, isn't it.</p>
<p>Who one wonders, <strong>they get 37,000,000,000 EUROs of money<br />
</strong>(our money) as subsidies for their atomic money maker plants.</p>
<p><strong>And they don't have to assure them</strong> - that's up to 2 - 5,000,000,000,000 EUROs<br />
of money for each reactor. Which other energy is so clever? Tell me!</p>
<p>Even better: <strong>The subsidies will rise </strong>because<br />
the needed Uranium will be more expensive if countries still<br />
want to use their atomic reactors and even build new ones,<br />
as McCain wants, the IEA wants, Toshiba wants and other countries<br />
want. More dependence on atomic energy. More money.</p>
<p><a href="http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2008/06/25/mccain-wants-to-build-45-new-atomic-power-plants/" target="_blank"><strong>McCains</strong> 45 atomic reactos</a><br />
<a href="http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2008/06/26/international-energy-agencys-crazed-action/" target="_blank"><strong>IEAs</strong> 1,300 atomic reactors</a><br />
<a href="http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2008/06/29/toshiba-wants-to-build-65-new-atomic-reactors/" target="_blank"><strong>Toshibas</strong> 65 atomic reactors</a><br />
<a href="http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/france-edf-want-to-build-a-new-atomic-power-reactor/" target="_blank"><strong>France</strong> atomic reactors</a><br />
<a href="http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2008/06/18/new-atomic-power-plants-in-switzerland-2nd-part/" target="_blank"><strong>Switzerland</strong> atomic reactors</a></p>
<p><strong>To get 1 ton of Uranium you cause 2,000 tons of radiative material</strong>.<br />
But there is no lobby for the Uranium workers in such countries like... well<br />
which countries? No matter.</p>
<p>And even if one reactor crashes - the atomic industry is<br />
building on the <strong>ALARA</strong> (<strong>made by the ICRP</strong> / IAEA) principle -<br />
this allows them not to pay if people are affected by radiation exposure<br />
- when something happens in / with their reactors.</p>
<p><a href="http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2008/07/05/alara-icrp-and-atomic-reactor-crash/" target="_blank"><strong>IAEA</strong> and <strong>ALARA</strong> - we don't help you</a></p>
<p>This so clever.<br />
Make your own rules (Atomic Industry, IAEA) and it even is accepted!<br />
More money, money, money!</p>
<p><strong>Atomic power plants</strong> have turbines - <strong>they are running with steam.</strong><br />
It's the oldest principle. But hey! It's atomic power, it's modern.<br />
But why do we have to use Uranium to make steam at the end?<br />
I don't know, who asks. More money, that's why.</p>
<p>Atomic power is a <strong>centralized energy</strong> - destroy the center - no energy.<br />
That's the same with the Fusion reactor in ITER / France (Funded with<br />
10,000,000,000 EUROs of money - 100,000,000,000 EUROs of money till<br />
2050 in the E.U.). But credit the money, if you are clever you also<br />
have your hands in Fusion not only atomic power.</p>
<p>The <strong>atomic industrys servant IEA / IAEA </strong>says atomic power will go<br />
back in the year 2030. Who wonders? My money wonders.<br />
Uranium will end in 60 years and be more expensive. More money.<br />
Renew Uranium? That's even more expensive and causes huge<br />
amounts of radiative waste. But it's more money.</p>
<p><strong>Remember</strong> - there is no radioactive waste disposal on the world,<br />
even for the 1st Generation waste directly from atomic power plants.<br />
That costs too much money.</p>
<p><strong>In the past </strong>money was worth much more, now money loses it's value.<br />
Attention, it's clever! With less valuable money it's harder to<br />
build new energy like environmental friendly / renewable energy.</p>
<p><strong>So, let's wait and wait and wait</strong> - it will become nearly impossible.<br />
People think: Renewable energy is too expensive and ineffective.<br />
But wait, instead we have atomic power from the past with the good<br />
old frameworks - as the subsidies. Let's bet on this, let's sell<br />
it during G8.<br />
Money!</p>
<p>Who cares for the future, <strong>when your country has hundreds of atomic power<br />
plants - which need to be demolished - this costs more than the construction and takes<br />
a longer time (10 years).<br />
</strong><br />
And with all these massive problems - <a href="http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2008/06/28/us-radioactive-waste-disposals-problems-part-1/" target="_blank">who cares about a <strong>missing radioactive waste disposal</strong>.</a><br />
or <strong><a href="http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2008/06/24/german-atomic-waste-disposal-asse-ii-a-ticking-timebomb/" target="_blank">problems after all</a></strong>. Or the <a href="http://tekknorg.wordpress.com/2007/12/17/german-kikk-study-higher-cancer-risc-next-to-atomic-power-plants-unofficial-belarussian-children-cancer-data/" target="_blank"><strong>German KiKK Study</strong></a> about higher cancer risc near atomic power plants.<br />
Guess what, let's build more atomic power plants - so everyone lives next to one. The study will<br />
be out of date then.</p>
<p>Goodnight G8</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A m8 of mine is running a building company in Brittany France. He was being crippled by his insurance costs from AXA. I recommended he tried the same company that I use for <a href="http://www.french-insurance.com/french_car_insurance.asp" target="_blank">French Car Insurance</a> <a href="http://www.french-insurance.com" target="_blank">www.french-insurance.com</a> and he was staggered by the savings he made.</p>
<p>We think that part of his savings were due to the fact that the vehicles were originally UK registered cars and AXA insured them at the maximum rate to be sure they had adequate cover for the vehicles as they were not 100% sure of their specification, due to not being able to look at the Registration Details online.</p>
<p>French-Insurance.com actually go to the effort to ensure they charge you for insuring the right vehicle specification, and also ask you all of the pertinent questions that often the other insurers fail to ask. This means that their insurance is often much more keenly priced than other French insurance companies.</p>
<p>I recommend you contact <a href="http://www.french-insurance.com" target="_blank">www.french-insurance.com</a> now either via their website or call them on 0297 40 80 20 they are totally bilingual and cover all of France.</p>

<p>Le fossoyeur Sarkozy ne recule devant aucune provocation. A l'occasion de la "fête nationale" du 14 juillet, il a demandé à ce que des troupes de l'Etat israélien défilent sur les Champs-Elysées. Des troupes de cet Etat, 65 fois condamné par l'ONU, raciste et colonial, qui sème la terreur au Proche-Orient depuis sa création. C'est naturellement une insulte intolérable vis à vis de tous les "patriotes" français, mais aussi de tous les résistants de la juste cause palestinienne.</p>
<p>Dans un cadre individuel, ou au sein de groupes de résistance organisés, tous les moyens doivent être mis en oeuvre pour manifester contre cette ignoble provocation. C'est une question de dignité mais aussi d'honneur pour ceux chez lesquels ces mots ont encore un sens.</p>

<p>Sur les 12 projets primés, une majorité décline en effet des installations visuelles servant à valoriser les produits mises en vente et/ou engager les clients. Retenons notamment :</p>
<p>- la <a href="http://www.institutfrancaisdudesign.com/Les_Janus/Janus_du_Commerce/Les_Laureats/art620.htm" target="_blank">Vitrine AudioActive de la Fnac</a> (que nous avions traitée <a href="http://oohtv.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/france-la-vitrine-interactive-de-la-fnac-montparnasse/" target="_blank">ici</a> et <a href="http://oohtv.wordpress.com/2008/06/20/france-la-vitrine-intractive-de-la-fnac-suite-prcisions-dadaptive-micro-systems-europe/" target="_blank">là</a>) par Gaël Hiétin (byVolta) :</p>
<blockquote><p>Un écran de leds monochromes de 8m² a été installé dans la vitrine et connecté au système informatique permettant d’animer cette vitrine 24/24.</p>
<p>Plusieurs lectures et interactions interviennent dans le système.</p>
<p>La première interaction est lointaine et visuelle :</p>
<p>- visualisation graphique sur l’écran du public, capté dans une zone définie par une caméra.</p>
<p>La seconde interaction est tactile :</p>
<p>- la personne « touche la musique » en posant sa main sur un des 4 CD.</p>
<p>La troisième interaction est “audio-graphique” :</p>
<p>- elle est déclenchée par la musique. Sitôt la musique jouée, la vague symbolisant l’auditeur est transformé en un immense équaliseur graphique qui oscille sur tout l’écran au rythme de celle-ci.</p>
<p>L'utilisation est très simple pour la responsable musique du magasin qui change environ tous les 15 jours les cd diffusés par la vitrine.</p></blockquote>
<p>Visuels <a href="http://www.institutfrancaisdudesign.com/Popups/Diaporama/art626.htm" target="_blank">ici</a>.</p>
<p>- le <a href="http://www.institutfrancaisdudesign.com/Les_Janus/Janus_du_Commerce/Les_Laureats/art713.htm" target="_blank">Studio SFR (flagship store de SFR)</a> réalisée par Interbrand :</p>
<blockquote><p>... lieu ultra contemporain, dédié à l'innovation et doté d'une salle de concert créée au cœur d'un palais du XVIIème siècle, en plein cœur de Paris.</p>
<p>Le principe : découvrir, télécharger et/ou voir les nouveaux talents via des rencontres "live" (salle de concert de 200 places), des séances de dédicaces, la possibilité d'écouter les dernières tendances grâce aux "douches musicales", télécharger la musique grâce aux 4 plots mis à la disposition du client ou encore, réserver des places de concerts.</p>
<p>2 étages, 1500 m2, 1 million de singles à télécharger, 120 couverts, 35 conseillers, 1 salle de concert, 2 restaurants.<br />
Outre un lieu dédié à la musique, Le Studio constitue un espace ultra innovant; sa conception est un véritable exploit technique et technologique.<br />
- innovation dans le choix des matériaux : sol béton, mobilier en résine, parois de verre, murs lumineux, murs acoustiques<br />
- innovation dans la présentation de l'offre : écrans tactiles et étiquettes LCD<br />
- un espace de démonstration où seront présentées et testées les dernières avancées en matière de téléphonie numérique<br />
- création d'un atelier "customisation" permettant de présenter et tester les dernières tendances pour personnaliser son téléphone</p></blockquote>
<p>Comme le signale aujourd´hui <a href="http://www.dailydooh.com/archives/2282" target="_blank">Adrian Cotterill</a>, le magasin comprend au total plus de 400 écrans, pilotés par la solution logicielle de <a href="http://www.scala.com" target="_blank">Scala</a>. L´installation a été réalisée par <a href="http://www.utram.com/" target="_blank">UTRAM</a> et le contenu créé par <a href="http://www.moodmedia.com/" target="_blank">Mood Media</a>.</p>
<p>Visuels <a href="http://www.institutfrancaisdudesign.com/Popups/Diaporama/art720.htm" target="_blank">ici</a>.</p>
<p>- le <a href="http://www.institutfrancaisdudesign.com/Les_Janus/Janus_du_Commerce/Les_Laureats/art715.htm" target="_blank">Carré Sony</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Le Carré est structuré autour d'une grande arche blanche, inspirée du portail japonais le Torii, qui soutient les meubles de présentation.<br />
L'espace a été traité de façon très épurée et qualitative, pour mettre en avant le produit et valoriser la marque.</p>
<p>L'offre est répartie en 3 espaces :<br />
- l’espace mobilité (Vaio, photo, vidéo, MP3) avec un Bar pour les Vaio, des vitrines rétro-éclairées pour les produits nomades (appareils photo et MP3) et quelques appareils en libre toucher. Un comptoir « bijouterie » vient compléter le dispositif pour les modèles haut de gamme et les nouveautés.<br />
- l’espace FTV cœur de marché : un grand mur d’image très impactant montrant les différents modèles de la gamme et les tailles d’écran. Cet espace est pour les produits à plus forte rotation. - l’espace Home Cinéma – Full HD avec un véritable salon et une démonstration Bluray. Tous les produits haut-de-gamme de la marque sont réunis en cet endroit pour favoriser la montée en gamme.</p>
<p>Pour s’adapter aux nombreuses configurations de magasins, le concept a été décliné en plusieurs modules construits à partir des mêmes pièces :<br />
- Ilôt de 33m2, avec deux hauteurs (3m et 2,4m)<br />
- Ilôt de 23m2, avec deux hauteurs (3m et 2,4m)<br />
- Mural de 23m2, avec deux hauteurs (3m et 2,4m)<br />
- Mini-concept store, pour transformer une pièce en Sony store</p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So this was an interestingly lazy weekend.</p>
<p>It started with an unique experience. Friday, for the Fourth of July, I planned to meet some Americans down at Cite Universitaire. We all met up, made some hotdogs, drank some beer, and had some good times. I was told that after the hotdogs, we were going to a party that the Canadians were throwing for us. Not so.</p>
<p>As it turns out, the party planned was a French one and the Americans were invited on somewhat of a whim (friends of friends). My sole contact there, citing an 8 am train ride, decided not to go. I was left with the choice: go to this random party with a group of Italians, Canadians, and one American I just met, or go home. Of course, it was party time.</p>
<p>We arrived at the venue fairly late, around 11 or so, after a nice long train ride of discussing future energy options with two Canadians (they found out I was a Nuclear Engineer -- good times). I was surprised to find out two unique things about this party: that the place was basically a two roomed, vaulted ceiling, French catacombs with antechamber, and that it was a BYOB gig with a then open bar (you sacrificed what you brought for the greater good -- think "Stone Soup" if you've heard of it). The actual party turned out to be pretty lame, though, for me. As it turns out, its denizens were mostly French or non-English speakers, and, as it turns out (as a general rule, I was later told), the French don't talk to someone at a party that they don't know or haven't been introduced to.</p>
<p>Around 3 AM, I got tired of the scene, found someone from my group to say goodbye to, and hot-footed it out of there. It was time to try the Noctilien (Parisian night bus). Unfortunately, a lousy ability to use public bus systems (metros are easy enough) as well as it being 3 AM led to some fairly difficult issues. After missing my first bus to falling asleep, I managed to take the second, 20 minutes later, to the wrong side of Paris. I searched, at 4 AM, for my bus back to Chatlet (middle of Paris). Finally finding it, I was able to make it back to the transportation hub. Of course, Chatlet is huge, and it took another 30 min to find and catch the next bus to my house. Arriving at 5:30, I pretty much immediately passed out.</p>
<p>Accordingly, I spent the next two days in sheer laziness. Saturday, I did little other than watch American TV and go to Montmarte with some friends. Sunday was filled with housekeeping and museum going (it was free -- first Sunday of the month). That was actually quite nice; I got to see most of Rodin's masterpieces.</p>
<p>I'm hoping that next weekend I can actually get out and go see some of Europe. The problem is that summer travel is quite expensive. Maybe I'll rent a car...</p>

<description><![CDATA[La Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen is extraordinary.
Claude Monet painted La Cathédrale thirty time]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="wp_caption_dd" title="Wikipedia entry on La Cathedrale aka Rouen Cathedral" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rouen_Cathedral">La Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen</a> is extraordinary.</p>
<p>Claude Monet painted La Cathédrale thirty times over the span of a single year in 1890.   </p>
<p>My Weblog, <em>La Flèche</em>, is inspired by this holy landmark.</p>
<p>From September 2006 to January 2007, I lived in Rouen, France. <br />
I was in France to teach English and therefore I'd rented an apartment, which happened to be situated on la Rue de la Republique, a busy cobblestone street, surrounded by the juxtaposition of half-timbered medieval architecture and the Gaumont, a modern movieplex.<br />
I was stashed five-flights up, in an outwardly-bland building.<br />
However, once free from the creeping, musty elevator, I unlocked my door and voila! <br />
I lived in a penthouse.<br />
I was mistress of a spacious amber and amethyst-hued salon: one wall of which was lined with outwardly- opening windows that are perfect for apple-tarte breakfasts.<br />
The salon was equipped with a small library, a non-working radio, several languorous lounges, velveteen armchairs, and a painted privacy-screen used during an afternoon nap (induced by a Sunday of Satie), or employed as an after-dinner boudoir for muffled caresses. </p>
<p>Divided from the salon by a narrow yellow hall, was the kitchen, toilet-room, bathroom, and my bedroom.</p>
<p>Looking out of my bedroom-window at night, I stared at la fleche, the steeple of La Cathedrale, a luminous arrow aimed into the night.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This Weblog aspires only to appreciate such lights, to share the arrows that pierce the darkness.</p>
<p>Lafleche</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.impawards.com/1993/posters/so_i_married_an_axe_murderer.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>To take a quick break from sports, I'm going to write about another popular topic on SWTCTW- strange weddings.  (For evidence of this, please click <a href="http://sixwordstochangetheworld.wordpress.com/2008/06/28/will-she-be-called-mrs-peepers/">here</a> and <a href="http://sixwordstochangetheworld.wordpress.com/2008/06/27/white-owl-wont-you-be-mine/">here</a>) Everyone has heard the jokes about marriage being a life sentence and whatnot.  This story is the perfect combination of all these things in a sick and twisted way.  Oh man, my mind is whirling with puns and bad jokes that I could make.  Okay, maybe just one... Nihita Biswas can literally call her future hubby the old ball and chain.</p>
<p>Confessed French serial killer Charles Sobhraj, who is 64 and serving a life sentence in Nepal, is engaged to marry Nihita, a 20-year-old Nepalese girl.  Here is their <a href="http://sixwordstochangetheworld.wordpress.com/2008/06/16/yo-want-2-swing-dance-2nite/">how we met story</a>: they met when she was applying to be a translator for one of his lawyers. (Cute? No?)  Oh, and he is best known by his criminal nickname, "The Serpent".</p>
<p>There are so many things wrong with this!  Besides the whole killing people thing, I don't think I could ever marry someone with a nickname that sounds like it comes from a Batman movie!  (Sidenote: I am so excited for the new Batman movie.  Why, Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeath, why?  I love you.)  What are his evil powers, besides the obvious?  I wish this was an episode of Scrubs and you could see what goes on in my head.  Damn my wild imagination.</p>
<p>Even though you can't see what goes on in my head, use your own to imagine the conversation she had with her mother.  Moms essentially all ask the same basic questions when it comes to learning about the new man in her daughter's life.  What is his name?  What is he like?  What does he do?  Or in the case of marriage, they ask when the date for the wedding is.  For the Serpent and his lady, this all depends on whether the Nepal Supreme Court accepts his appeal and let's him out of his life sentence.  Good luck with that.  The point is, not one answer to any of the basic questions is good!  How do even you answer 'what does he do'?</p>
<p>Instead of answering all of these questions for the news story, the blushing bride to be commented on the 44 year age gap between them.</p>
<blockquote><p>"I am mature enough to decide for myself," she said. "Age does not make a difference."</p></blockquote>
<p>Age is the least of your worries, hun.  I think your number one priority should be, umm, staying alive.</p>
<blockquote><p>The Frenchman has in the past admitted to killing several Western tourists, and he is believed to have murdered at least 20 people in Afghanistan, India, Thailand, Turkey, Nepal, Iran and Hong Kong during the 1970s.</p></blockquote>
<p>So this story isn't quite Sunday New York Times wedding announcement material, but it's still a wedding announcement.  Congratulations to the happy couple?  I demand an invite and there best be an open bar.</p>
<p>Here she is:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/07/05/nepal.sobhraj.ap/art.nepal.biswas.afp.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>And here he is (looking mysterious and somewhat dapper?):</p>

<description><![CDATA[So yesterday I came across an article that really got me mad.  So mad, in fact, that I wrote a lett]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.halgal.com/graphics/PUR/Eur1980.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.halgal.com/graphics/PUR/Eur1980.jpg" alt="Communist East Europe" width="233" height="311" /></a>So yesterday I came across an article that really got me mad.  So mad, in fact, that I wrote a letter to the editor (not that I expect it will do anything).  The article is about the East Germans killed while trying to escape the Communist bloc through Bulgaria, who they were, and how their families are trying to gain closure today.  The article highlights what is a growing problem for Bulgaria: its image and reputation abroad.  Recently many high profile European news sources including the BBC have run news stories highlighting the many negative aspects of Bulgaria, including the treatment of Bulgaria's orphans, as I explored in a <a href="http://renovatio.wordpress.com/2008/06/28/orphans-in-bulgaria/" target="_blank">previous entry</a>.  Bulgaria needs to actively combat this.  I thought that I would do my part.  Anyway, here's the link to the article, it's called <a href="http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,563992,00.html" target="_blank">The Cold War's Forgotten Victims: Avenging East Germans Killed in Bulgaria</a>.  Here's my letter:</p>
<blockquote><p>Dear Sir,</p>
<p>I understand of the need for closure for the families of the many victims.  However, what I do not understand is the need to constantly paint Bulgaria in such dark colors.  This article goes beyond its stated point, to avenge the East Germans killed in Bulgaria.  This article goes on to make a mockery of all citizens in Bulgaria, of all Bulgarian government institutions.  In fact, this article dehumanizes Bulgarians in a way reminiscent of Cold War propaganda.</p>
<p>Why not instead focus on Bulgarians, such as Rosi, who helped Germans maltreated by the Communist regime?  Or perhaps, we should take a look at why Bulgaria had a Communist regime in the first place; the country was invaded by Soviet soldiers after allying itself with Germany in World War II.  Perhaps we should also mention that Bulgaria saved all of its Jews from the Nazi regime as well.</p>
<p>We live in a different era now.  While there is need for closure, there is no need to stoke flames of hatred against Bulgarians.  And there is certainly no need to revive the Cold War today.  The majority of Bulgarians of today are good people.  Let's not give them a reason to hate Germans.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,grossbild-1232396-563992,00.html" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.spiegel.de/img/0,1020,1232396,00.jpg" alt="Border Sign" width="229" height="168" /></a>I'm not trying to claim that the deaths of the 18 East Germans at the Bulgarian borders is forgiveable.  However, 18 deaths out of 'thousands' of East Germans who tried to flee the Communist bloc seems to point that Bulgaria's border patrol wasn't quite as heavy handed as the Spiegel article claims.  Oh yes, the border signs were written in German as well as Bulgarian.  Incidentally, the Editor of the Spiegel that I sent my letter to will be on maternity vacation until January 2nd, 2009.</p>
<p>Anyway, I think Germany should be trying to forge new ties with Bulgaria, much as France is doing right now.  France just signed a strategic partnership agreement with Bulgaria, and Bulgaria is buying <a href="http://uk.reuters.com/article/rbssIndustryMaterialsUtilitiesNews/idUKL0426458720080704" target="_blank">two corvettes</a> (naval ships, not Chevys) worth $1.49 billion.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>[fr]</strong> Partager des images, des idées, jeter des ponts entre des mondes qui s'attirent et sont si lointains pourtant... En voici un premier exemple, sous forme d'un rapprochement visuel à explorer :</p>
<p><a title="Nicolas Ponce - L'enlèvement nocturne" href="http://images.artnet.com/picture.asp?date=19921201&#38;catalog=ROS4890-I&#38;gallery=110884&#38;lot=00240&#38;filetype=2"><img src="http://images.artnet.com/picture.asp?date=19921201&#38;catalog=ROS4890-I&#38;gallery=110884&#38;lot=00240&#38;filetype=2" alt="Nicolas Ponce - L'enlèvement nocturne" width="233" height="328" /></a> - <a href="http://furoshiki.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/urasato-escape.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-220" src="http://furoshiki.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/urasato-escape.jpg?w=234" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Que nous disent ces deux images, conçues et fabriquées à des milliers de kilomètres de distance, dans leur étonnant jeu de miroir ? <em>L'enlèvement nocturne</em> et <em>Urasato' s escape from the Yamana-ya</em> sont deux scènes nocturnes figurant la fuite nocturne de deux amoureux/amants, bravant l'interdit qui les empêche de vivre ensemble. L'influence de la première gravure sur la seconde illustration ne nous semble guère plausible, mais les similitudes en sont d'autant plus frappantes. Instants dramatiques arrêtés, chaque image s'inscrit graphiquement comme le passage entre deux mondes, deux lieux... L'enfermement / la liberté, la vie tracée / la volonté d'agir sur sa destinée.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>L'enlèvement nocturne</strong>. Gravure à l'eau-forte et au burin. 1780. "Peint à Gouasse par A. Beaudoin Peintre du Roi -- Gravé par Nicolas Ponce". Scène de nuit, éclairée par la lune, au printemps ou en été : un jeune homme reçoit dans ses bras la jeune fille qu'il aime à sa descente de l'échelle posée contre le mur d'enceinte du couvent d'où elle s'échappe. Trois accompagnateurs s'occupent des chevaux prêts pour la route. L'un d'eux ouvre déjà la portière de la chaise de poste qui accueillera la fugitive. Sa suivante enjambe à son tour la haute muraille coupant la planche en deux. À l'arrière-plan, les bâtiments et le clocher du couvent.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Urasato's escape from the Yamana-Ya</strong>. Illustration en hors-texte du conte "Urasato, or the Crow of dawn", in <em>Romances of Old Japan</em>, par Yei Theodora Ozaki (Madame Yukio Ozaki), London, Simpkin, 1919, p. 135-158. La scène se passe également de nuit, mais en hiver, par temps de neige. Les amants sont seuls cette fois-ci pour aller au bout de leur aventure, n'était-ce la petite apprentie inquiète qui les regarde, et a accepté de les aider. Le jeune homme campé, debout dans la neige qui s'amoncelle, tend les bras pour saisir la jolie geisha. Elle a franchi la barrière de la maison de thé Yamana en escaladant un vieux pin. Elle est encore suspendue à une branche débordant vers l'extérieur, grâce à une étoffe nouée, et se laisse glisser vers le bas. Ses pieds sont nus.</li>
