Yellow vests were made for Heart Hangers

While the Angevin festival is fast approaching, the time has come to dress in its most beautiful coat of light. And this year, it will be necessary to respect the theme of the building sites. Head to the Grand Theater to customize a yellow reflective vest.

 

Plumbing pipes, duct tape, pieces of cardboard, orange fabric… and of course, the famous yellow construction vest. Since August 28, when we go to the first floor of the Grand Theater of Angers, the room seems to have turned into a real fashion workshop.

 

Because to stick to the theme of the yards of Heartbeats, 7, 8 and 9 September, it will be necessary to dress accordingly. The yellow vest obliges. And to set herself apart from others, Caroline de Pommereau, a set designer, provides daily advice to participants in the dress code workshops between 2 pm and 6 pm “I imagined a place where you can create, cut … not just customize your yellow vest. ”

 

In the vast hall of the Grand Theater, busts of models are covered with the artist’s creations. There a woman’s bust with epaulettes and a puff skirt in orange paper. Here a man’s bust with ribbon tape for red and white plastic work. Tuesday, August 28, for the first session of the season, about twenty people have been busy making their dress of light, they will wear during the Angevin festival.

 

As soon as I arrive, I immediately warn the designer. I do not have the soul of an artist. Caroline de Pommereau advises me to cut the two edges of the vest at the waist, the latter being too wide for me. Seeing the yellow vest transformed into a dress mentioned above, I start making a skirt. I search through all the objects and fabrics offered and decide on a burgundy colored paper and a white and red plastic ribbon.

 

A felt paper sign

With the paper and with a stapler and a pair of scissors, I make a skirt, which I hang on the yellow high visibility vest. Then, I cut the paper to make fringes. I then make a belt. Result: I am not really convinced. I look at a girl next to me. She makes a traffic sign with red and black felt paper, and it’s really very successful. “I wanted to do a lot of them, but when I see how long it takes, I think I’ll do just one,” she says.

 

Next to 15-year-old Leonora, her brother Constant explains that he is making “a belt with small beige plastic tubes”. At the other end of the room, 9-year-old Louis turns his yellow vest into a SCO jersey, with his name written with reflective tape and a logo of the football team.

 

Little by little, participants leave the room, yellow vest in hand, ready to parade with. Those who only have their daily clothes in their closets can still register, and why not, become the most beautiful or the most beautiful heart-catchers.

 

And if you become a volunteer for the Food Bank of Burgundy?

Wearing an orange reflective vest, the volunteers of the Food Bank are looking for food, unsold or expiry dates, in supermarkets. Food is then stored in the association’s warehouses, before being redistributed to 82 partner charities. A volunteer allows the distribution of 30,000 meals. The Food Bank also receives products from the food industry, the state and the European Union. In Burgundy, 1200 tons of food pass each year in the hands of “Vests orange”.

 

Hard-working volunteers

Severna is one of them. He has just returned to the warehouse, driving a van, with a “pickup”, a load of unsold food provided by a supermarket. Involved in the association since November 2017, this retiree devotes his two half days a week. Even more assiduously, four times a week, Colette, 80, is assigned to make small parcels: “At the moment, we put rice, compote, green beans, jam, dessert cream, chocolate, coffee and cocoa. Here, everyone knows her. She has been working there for 16 years, and never tires of it: “I like that, I find friendship, and then I’m all alone, so it takes care of me”.

 

Half a day or more a week

The Food Bank needs to expand its workforce. “We can give half a day a week, or more, of course, usually in the morning,” said Agnes Biotin, General Delegate of the Food Bank of Burgundy. In terms of activities, “They are focused on picking up products in supermarkets, sorting them in our warehouse or in our cold room. Also, we are looking for volunteers to prepare orders for associations. We also have offices, where we look for specific skills, management controller, someone who deals with computers, also people who deal with relations with associations.

 

Protect volunteers against accidents

Sylvie, head of human resources, adds that every precaution is taken to avoid accidents during these activities: “each volunteer is equipped with safety shoes, an orange vest, gloves. Safety instructions are given to all new volunteers, as well as training on sorting, sanitary standards, hygiene and food safety, but also safety when driving a truck, or when working in the company”. In addition, volunteers are covered by insurance in the event of an accident.

Safety operation in school transport

The students of the college launched the operation on Tuesday morning.

 

The operation, which will concern the entire department of Lot-et-Garonne, was launched this Tuesday morning at the college.

 

The 6th graders practiced a life-size exercise: evacuation of a bus in a minimum time, and safely, in case of problems.

 

All dressed in the essential yellow reflective vest, they benefited from the advice of the actors of the Prevention Road, in the presence of the officials of the establishment, members of the County Council of Lot-et-Garonne and the Regional Council of New Aquitaine.

 

 

542 participants of the rally

On Sunday, the 1st Cycling Partnership Tychy took place to commemorate the patrons of the cities of Saint Christopher and St. Valentine. At the same time, the rally started the European Week of Sustainable Transport, which ends on September 22. In the event organized by the City of Tychy and the Sports Association NOL-TYCHY, 542 cyclists took part in the patronage of the Metropolis.

 

Tychy is a city that loves sports and outdoor activities, which is why we have been making sure that cyclists feel good in it for many years. Thinking about them, we have created numerous bike paths, bicycle repair stations, and pump track for those who like extreme emotions and challenges. The “Rowe love Tychy” campaign allowed the Tashkent to love two wheels even more, while “Task Rower” gave them an opportunity for unlimited cycling trips around the city, as well as alternative, ecological transport to school or work – President Andrej Dinuba enumerated.

 

The event had its start at Gemini Park Tychy, where participants received starter packages, which included a reflective vest and band, an information bulletin and drinks prepared by sponsors. – Such rallies have their overriding goals, above all the promotion of an alternative means of communication, but also security. Thanks to such events, more people move in reflections, like high visibility vests and helmets with reflective materials which positively affect the safety of road users – emphasized Michal, Councilor of Tychy and organizer of the event.

 

The pleasure of cycling is appreciated by the residents of our city every day, which is especially evident during the annual Family Bike Rally, which this year was organized for the 19th time, and in which 850 people took part. This year, the city of Beirut organizes or co-organizes a record number of bicycle events inviting all lovers of two wheels on its bike routes – added Kristina, the mayor of the town of Beirut.

 

Then, under the escort of the police and the city guard, they moved to the halfway point in Beirut. At the halfway point, concert contests and a meal funded by DANONE were waiting for cyclists. The finish line took place at the Municipal Stadium in Tychy, where cyclists not only could eat a tasty bison and cold non-alcoholic beer but also take part in the free time fairs.

Silence, it turns for road safety

Wednesday, the streets of Billonnière were occupied by a shooting for TV Vendee around the wearing of the yellow reflective vest.

 

The initiative

 

“The yellow vest with reflective material protects it, but not everything!” The slogan served as a frame for the filming of elected representatives of the Municipal Youth Council (CMJ). The young counselors wrote the script of four sketches. They will play them themselves.

 

The idea was born last year in the CMJ with social action, during a meeting with the director of the local channel TV Vendee. “We thought why not shoot safety clips designed by the kids themselves? “Tell the supervisors.

 

The prefecture organizing a week dedicated to yellow vests at the end of October, immediately gave its approval. This action of the center of social action, led by Severna, is supervised by Major Laurence of gendarmerie, the representatives of Code Rousseau, Michel and Alain.

 

A message carried by young people

 

The members of the Social Committee are responsible for safety and the TV Vendee team. Laure and Hervey take part in the project. “When ideas come from children, they are better received by young people, they know what they are talking about and have their own experience,” says Major Laurence Lorena.

 

This Wednesday, filming was mostly on small country roads but next week it will be in the heart of the village, with other dangers to know and avoid. “Sainte-Foy represents the small rural communes. This filming could have been done everywhere in France”, supports Michel.

 

At the end of the shooting, after broadcasting for a fortnight at the end of October, a yellow vests discount will be given to all the children enrolled in the commune, in the presence of the gendarmerie, with advice to wear them when they take the bus at middle School.

 

“Teens are balking, but if we give the habit to young children to wear safety clothing, it will become an automatism for them, as today, the seatbelt for motorists. “

Why do you have to dress like a construction manager

Welcome to a world where the orange reflective vest, the sanitary hood and the safety shoe play it “survival solutions” in urban jungle.

 

Three options are available for the podium pillar to prepare for the advent of the post-human – an allegory of an uncertain future that everyone, the baroque demiurge way Alessandro Michele to the minimalist convinced trend JW Anderson, dreads.

 

First: to enter fashion orders and to wander in this very closed circle in a dress of bure and bare-feet of tourism.

 

Secondly, put on his gadget glasses and his amphibian suit, and finally be the trunk on the wings of a cyborg – dragon, chameleon or humanoid with three eyes.

 

Tertio: sign for life in the secondary sector and get the services of the house uniform: parka and pants with reflective tapes, helmet (or hood) and

Safety shoes, all carved in traffic light colors – green, yellow, red and ripe orange.

 

No less doubtful aesthetically but much more prophetically than the DHL t-shirt collective released in 2016, this is the option chosen this season by Simons, anxious to denounce the reign of fake news and prepare for the reign of an all-powerful AI, dresses the woman and man Calvin Klein in a high security uniform, between the construction engineer and the firefighter of New

 

John Galliano at Maison Margiela, Marcia Prada and Christopher Bailey at Burberry apply the same security policy, slipping an orange vest with reflective material under a overcoat, on a mini-dress or changing the parka to a bionic stage, between the garment cosmonaut and sapper, worn with a pencil skirt and sneakers survival blanket.

Lack of teachers, schools without building and classes

For some it has not been easy to separate from their parents in the return to school. This course starts with strikes and protests about the conditions that some teachers and students have had to face at the end of the holiday.

 

With the reflective vest, helmet, and goggles: first day of school in Getafe. “This school, instead of a school is a work,” they say. An unfinished work. Because Miguel de Cervantes, instead of children loaded with school material, workers come loaded with construction material.

 

“We have a dining room that will be saturated because they have not built the new dining room, we do not have a gym because they have not built it, we are missing six classrooms because they have not built all the classrooms,” explains Sara, mayor of Getafe.

 

Some 200 students without a classroom will teach in the hallways. Those of another school in there should have started in April and did it in August. So on one side worker, on the other children. Repeated work material thrown in the yard and children without classroom.

 

In another center, silence: first day of classes without children, they do not start the course because there are no counselors. “Last year the school had a third of students with needs,” say some of the parents.

 

In Cantabria, the children are in the yard because they do not have teachers. They are protesting in front of the Ministry of Education. More than 60% have supported the strike against the partial elimination of the reduced working hours of September and June.

 

In Orense they protest because there are more children in a classroom for children than the 25 allowed. In Alicante at the school, 160 children will begin classes in barracks, which are already two-storey. Education says that it has been invested, but that in four years, it does not give time to everything.

A gift for drivers

The 13th Sobriety Days are underway. Traditionally, the police joined the action of the City, which from today to Saturday will lead intensified checks on the sobriety of drivers. On Thursday, motorists were given a small gift from the president.

 

During Thursday’s action. No drunk driver was stopped. All the inspected, received a small gift from the city: a first aid kit, a reflective vest, a car smell, a pen and a leash. “I have nothing to hide, and I think that there are a lot of irresponsible drivers who get behind the wheel on a double gas and should be severely punished.” says Tome, the bus driver stopped today to control by the Kalisz road route.

 

The numbers speak for themselves. From the beginning of the year to the end of August, Kalisz police officers detained 284 drunk drivers. Many of them may not have suffered any consequences of their irresponsible behavior except for the witnesses’ reaction. So it was last Friday. The 65-year-old woman driving the Peugeot hit a parked Renault during a reverse maneuver. “When a people approached woman to ask if she needed help, the manager tried to leave the scene. The man realized that the driver could be under the influence of alcohol. He decided to react. He pulled out the keys from the Peugeot substation and called the police officers in. “says asp. Anna, spokesman for the Kalisz police.

 

The woman had 2.5 per of alcohol in the body. Driving a vehicle in the state of intoxication in the light of the law in force in Poland is a crime for which a fine or a penalty of restriction of liberty or imprisonment of up to 2 years may be imposed.

 

The 23rd Sobriety Days were inaugurated on Saturday in the Main Square. This is an action that aims to promote life without addictions. “Tomorrow we address socio-therapeutic day care centers to a traditional event: a run, attractions under the slogan ‘Lenya Lode’. On Saturday, a family festival will take place, at the scout’s stanchion. This is an event that has been accompanying the sobriety days from the very beginning. It is an opportunity to meet people from the sobriety environment, to have fun together sober. On Saturday evening, we invite you to the bicycle and roller rally ‘Kalisz is an example’.” says Janus, head of the Department of Social and Housing Affairs.

 

The start of the rally is planned at dusk, around 19.30. The ride will start with the participants’ meeting in the parking lot. The first 300 cyclists and skaters who will come to the “start line” will receive high visibility vests from the organizers.

“At nine I wanted to enter a group of 90 tourists”

The new municipal regulation that prohibits -both Friday and Saturdays- the visits of organized groups of more than 15 people in the Santa Caterina Market of Barcelona entered yesterday into force. In the morning, the only guard of the infrastructure knew that his function began to acquire, each time, more attribution. And soon he had to show his skills according to the new regulations. “At 9.00 in the morning a group of more than 90 people has been presented and I have had to tell them that they could not enter,” informed the guard with the authority that gave him a reflective vest, a truncheon and handcuffs.

 

The person in charge of market security admitted that he had not had any problem with the group: “I think they came from a cruise ship” and as he explained, they quickly understood the message and in an orderly manner abandoned access to a market where the exoticism they seek Tourists are not only at the stops but also on the deck. The roof draws an amalgam of colors inspired by the modernist technique that the architects Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue placed with the purpose of opening the infrastructure to the whole city and turning it into a magnet! A purpose that has successfully opened the market not only for the rest of the neighborhoods but, apparently, to the whole world. Such is its power of attraction that it has had to be stopped.

 

Since yesterday, on Fridays and Saturdays between April and October, large groups have access to Santa Caterina. The City Council has taken this decision with the intention of preserving the current market model before tourism allegedly takes over the space expelling customers from the corridors.

 

The watchman knows many of the guides because the market, although central, is not one of the largest and has a little more than 60 stops, few corridors and enough familiar faces to highlight the intruders.

 

The new norm is more extensive. The guard will be alert that the groups do not obstruct the corridors or prevent the approach of the clients to the stops. According to the City Council reports, a concentration of 15 people in these corridors is sufficient to prevent the normal flow of people inside the facility.

 

The controller has more functions, including inviting those who touch or manipulate food and exposed products with the aim of taking photographs or those who are eating or drinking in space not allowed to leave.

 

“There are some tourists that I always have to call their attention. There are those who have the habit of touching everything and even stick the nail to the fruit or fish and then the paradise is angry and rightly so “, says the watchman.

 

The regulations seem to have been good between paradise and customers. And that there are some steps that seem to have changed the chip and now there are stalls selling exclusively prepared Japanese rice and fish, sushi, or pizzas and take away preparations. There is even one that sells souvenirs.

 

“Barcelona is full of tourists but in the market I have never had problems. This is not like La Boqueria, “says a customer who, after making the purchase of traditional stops, goes directly to the supermarket at the back of the facility.

 

The fishermen are totally in agreement with the new regulations, also the person in charge of Menuts Toni, who claims to feel more than once “surrounded”. “You feel a true helper, some visitors are very kind, others not so much. Some people surprise you and as they come to apartments they sometimes buy you. But the truth is that not everything is bad, because we also sell more to restaurants where tourists go. “he admits.
