POUR UN REMPLACEMENT PÉRENNE EN MATHS AU COLLÈGE CHARLEMAGNE
POUR UN REMPLACEMENT PÉRENNE EN MATHEMATIQUES AU COLLÈGE CHARLEMAGNE
Nous parents, signataires de cette pétition, souhaitons une solution pérenne pour remplacer un professeur de Mathématiques du collège Charlemagne de Paris, absent depuis la rentrée.
Malgré le signalement à de nombreuses reprises auprès du Service des remplacements du Rectorat par le Proviseur du collège Charlemagne et ses équipes,
Malgré le courrier d’alerte des représentants de parents élus du 1er octobre au Directeur de l’Académie de Paris,
Malgré la réponse immédiate du Directeur de l’Académie indiquant que ses services étaient mobilisés,
Malgré le nouvel arrêt de travail, de plus de 15 jours, de l’enseignant de mathématiques en date du 3 octobre,
cinq classes du collège Charlemagne n’ont pas eu cours de Mathématiques depuis la rentrée.
Nous souhaitons par cette pétition faire part du mécontentement de l’ensemble des parents du collège Charlemagne et demander au Rectorat de Paris, représenté par son Directeur :
– le remplacement dès la semaine du 10 octobre du professeur de Mathématiques absent,
– le rattrapage des heures de cours non effectuées depuis le début d’année scolaire,
– la nomination d’un remplaçant jusqu’à la fin de l’année scolaire 2016/2017.
En dépit de ses affirmations, le Rectorat de Paris n’a écouté ni les demandes des parents d’élèves élus, ni celles de l’Administration du collège Charlemagne. Rien n’a changé depuis le début d’année. Nous souhaitons une action concrète avant les congés de la Toussaint.
Pour les élèves de Charlemagne, mobilisez-vous et signez cette pétition !

Encontros da Imagem – International Photography Festival
In the cycle of mutability and visuality, the International Photography Festival ENCONTROS DA IMAGEM returns to contaminate the city of Braga and to whip the affective dimension up, at a time of tremendous changes and significances.
At this admirably thought-provoking moment for the human existence, populated by a turmoil of images and where the feeling for constant change and transformation proliferates, the Festival returns to its city for the 26 th Edition, celebrating the sentimental side of this edition’s theme: the Search for Happiness. After its effervescent 2015 Edition, ENCONTROS DA IMAGEM returns with an intense and kaleidoscopic programme, proposing a reflection over Happiness, in nowadays societies. Memory, Changing and Revelations are among the themes for this year’s edition, which allow us to understand the several paths towards Happiness.
Alongside with the current technological rage that questions the limits of the visible, in which the image casts us to even further away places, and where the world is revealed through its most hidden and unexpected aspects, it seemed like the appropriate moment to promote an edition dedicated to the discovery of the other, appealing to the sentimental turn and to the simple and discreet quest for Happiness, at its Place at the Sun.
Object of knowledge, interrogation and experimentation, photography is in its essence, a vital reflex of the world today and, therefore, indisputably, an incredible form of capturing the pulse of an era. The complex reality of a technological world, at the same time archaically barbarian and intensely human, offers values and dimensions that we dare to explore at this year’;s edition, in the so desired search for Happiness.
On the other hand, the feeling of the world raises awareness of our historical universe, and therefore, this edition explores the affective consciousness, harmed by the tensions and conflicts, which result from the general sharpening of social contradictions. Here, we aim to create a field of social and dynamic creation, in which artists, curators and scholars are invited to explore the theme of this sentimental turning, in its multiple interpretations, under the motto: A PLACE IN THE SUN.

“My Lagos” by Robin Hammond, limited edition of 600 copies will arrive in Paris on 26 september! « My Lagos » by Robin Hammond : Lagos defies Western ideas of urban order. However, what looks like anarchic activity is actually governed by a set of informal yet ironclad rules. To a new comer to the city, these rules are an absolute mystery but in the shouting, and blaring of horns, and the pushing and shoving of crowds, everyone has a place to go and a way to get there. Robin Hammond’s ‘My Lagos’ introduces us to the color, energy and chaos of Africa’s largest city. Full bleed color photographs take us on a journey through bustling Lagos streets and into the homes of the rich, poor, and rising middle class. ‘My Lagos’ opens our eyes to an Africa rarely seen in western media. Placed over and between these views of Lagos is a series of large format Polaroid portraits accompanied by quotes from the sitters themselves. A businessman, an actor, a fisherman, a pastor, a prostitute speak of their hopes and dreams in this city of strivers. An original Nollywood film poster wraps this beautifully designed book delivering an authentic piece of the city to the audience. ‘My Lagos’ has been described as intense and bold. Much like the city itself.
Proud of my friend Guillaume Galliot, Tasting Room in Macau, Restaurant 2** with a Chief 3*** Read the interview on the Guide Michelin:
Most chefs grow up knowing they want to cook, and nothing else, but for chef Guillaume Galliot, the ambition was more precise: his mind was set, from the early age of 12, on working in a fine-dining, Michelin-starred environment.
“When I was 12, I was already cooking simple meals for the family, but then I started to watch a documentary about Alain Ducasse and Joel Robuchon and they were talking about all these three-Michelin-starred restaurants and chefs, and that’s when I told my mum, ‘This is what I want to do – the really high-end sort of cooking’,” recalls the native of Tours in France.
After an early start as a commis cook in the restaurant of revered Charles Barrier in his hometown, and later, in the three-Michelin-starred Jardin des Sens in Montpellier, Galliot left France for stints in fine-dining restaurants around the world, from Saint Barthelemy and Morocco to the Raffles Hotels in Beijing and Singapore – and marrying a global palette of flavours, ingredients and plenty of travel inspiration with his classical French-based cooking along the way.
In 2012, he moved to Macau with his Singaporean wife and started The Tasting Room, within the City of Dreams complex, earning one star just six months after opening, and two stars three years later. We catch up with chef Galliot on a recent trip to Macau to reminisce about his early career.
My first encounter with the Michelin Guide was when I was maybe 8 or 10 years old. I had an uncle who used to be a head sommelier at Maxim’s, a famous two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris. My hometown of Tours is also home to the restaurant of Charles Barrier, which had three Michelin stars in the 1970s and 80s, when I was growing up. It was beautiful and elegant from the outside, and I used to pass by the restaurant with my mum when I was a child. We would peer in, and I used to tell my mum that one day, when I’m very rich, I will invite her in to dine. My brother worked there as a sommelier and I worked there for a few months as a commis cook when it was a one-starred restaurant. This was where I started before I moved on to work at Jardin de Sens in Montpellier, and later, in fine-dining restaurants around the world.
The first time I won my first star was in November 2012, when The Tasting Room got its first Michelin star in the Hong Kong Macau guide, just a few months after we opened in April 2012. I received a phone call on the morning of the awards ceremony in Hong Kong, and they told me the news. We kept this for three years until last November, when we got our second star.
The first thing I did when I realised we had won a star was turn to my staff and tell them: “Today I will go to Hong Kong, and when I come back, we will celebrate.” I celebrated with my wife on the same day as well, along one of my best friends, Frankie Semblat, and his wife. He was the chef of the Robuchon au Dôme restaurant in Macau and he is now the head chef of L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon in Shanghai. We opened a very nice bottle of champagne, I still remember it, it was a Dom Perignon 1990.
The influence of the Michelin Guide on my career was immediate. Business improved by 30 per cent after we got the star. It give me a little bit more stress – but it was the good kind of stress. I always think positively. Its great motivation for the staff. We were working for the star, so when we got it, we felt that we are on the right direction, and we continue to work hard every day to get much better in terms of consistency.
My advice for young chefs aiming for Michelin stars is not to skip any steps. It’s good to get your stars at a young age – there are chefs who are 27 when they receive two or three stars – but don’t skip any steps along the way. I learnt all the basics before I was put in charge of a restaurant.
Work hard on your foundation, pay attention in cooking school, and spend time with each chef in every place you work in, because after that, it’s a lot of responsibilities and a lot of stress. You need to have a clear mind and a strong background. With all the cooking shows on television, food websites and all the media available these days, it’s too easy to become an instant chef.
