II. (Szép) Ióannész, magyarosan II. János, teljes nevén Ióannész Komnénosz (), (Konstantinápoly, 1087. szeptember 13. – Kilikia, 1143. április 8.) a Bizánci Birodalom császára (uralkodott 1118. augusztus 18-tól haláláig), a Komnénosz-dinasztia harmadik tagja, I. Alexiosz fia volt.

Útja a trónig
I. Alexiosz bizánci császár és Dukász Irén (Eiréné Dukaina) második gyermekeként jött a világra 1087-ben, és atyja 1092. szeptember 1-jén jelölte ki örökösévé. Nővére, Anna Komnéné azonban saját jegyese, majd férje, Niképhorosz Brüenniosz számára kívánta megszerezni a trónt, és ebben az anyacsászárné is támogatta. Alexioszt még halálos ágyán is arról győzködték, hogy másítsa meg az akaratát. A haldokló uralkodó azonban nem adott határozott választ, így Ióannész megszerezhette a trónt – mivel azonban helyzete bizonytalan volt, még atyjának temetésén sem volt hajlandó részt venni. Trónját csak a következő évben tudta végleg biztosítani, amikor felszámolt egy Eiréné és Anna vezetésével szerveződött összeesküvést, anyját és nővérét pedig kolostorba záratta.

Uralkodása

A harminc esztendősen trónra lépő Ióannészt kortársai és az utókor egyaránt dinasztiája legnagyobbjaként tartják számon: mély vallásossága, mértékletessége, bőkezű adományai és igazságossága népszerűvé tették alattvalói körében, megfontolt, de energikus politikája pedig számos szép sikerhez juttatta császárságát mind nyugati, mind keleti ellenfeleivel szemben. Bár Türoszi Vilmos leírása alacsonynak és kifejezetten csúnyának jellemzi (sötét bőre miatt mórnak gúnyolták), a görög krónikások uralkodói tulajdonságaira utalva Kaloióannésznek, azaz Szép Ióannésznak nevezték.

Uralkodóként nem családtagjaira, hanem tehetséges idegenekre támaszkodott a kormányzatban, fő tanácsadója például egy török származású katona, a nagy domesztikoszi rangot viselő Ióannész Akszukhosz volt egész uralma alatt. Ez a viselkedés féltékenykedéshez vezetett a Komnénosz-házon belül, Iszaakiosz nevű fivére például egy összeesküvés miatt kénytelen volt 1130–36 között keleten bujdokolni Meliténétől Jeruzsálemig, mielőtt kegyelmet kapott volna a császártól.

Balkáni harcok

I. Alexiosz 1091-ben akkora csapást mért a Duna-vidékről dúló besenyőkre, hogy azok harminc éven át nem hallattak magukról. Ióannésznak azonban új betörésükkel kellett szembenéznie 1122-ben: a támadók nyugaton Makedóniáig, keleten Trákiáig jutottak. A császár azonban végleges győzelmet aratott felettük, számos hadifoglyot ejtett, akiknek egy részét letelepítette a birodalomban, más részét pedig besorozta a seregébe. A császár diadala emlékére ünnepnapot rendelt el, amit a század végéig tartottak. A besenyők többé nem bukkantak fel a bizánci területeken, seregük maradékát II. István magyar király fogadta be.

Ióannész következő célpontja Szerbia őse, az elméletileg bizánci fennhatóság alá tartozó Raška volt, amelynek megregulázásával I. Alexiosz hiába próbálkozott. Ióannész azonban döntő sikert ért el e téren, számos fogollyal és dús zsákmánnyal tért haza. A szerb probléma azonban magával vonta a magyarok megjelenését is. A Magyar Királyság ugyanis támogatta a folytatódó szerb lázadásokat Bizánc ellen, amellett II. István nehezményezte, hogy Konstantinápoly 1125 körül menedéket adott megvakított nagybátyjának, a Dömösről elmenekült Álmos hercegnek. II. István kérte rokona kiadatását, de Ióannész ehelyett egy makedóniai városba telepítette a vak herceget, ahol a magyar emigránsok tovább szervezkedhettek. A magyar király erre 1127-ben támadásba lendült, hiába halt meg időközben Álmos: elfoglalta Belgrádot, Barancsot, Ništ és Szófiát, és csak a mai Plovdivtól fordult vissza. Válaszul Ióannész 1128-ban a Duna bal partján legyőzte a magyarokat, bevette Haramot és Zimonyt, majd a Szerémségben nagy zsákmányt gyűjtve kivonult.

Velence és Dél-Itália

I. Alexiosz annak idején a Velencei Köztársaság segítségével tudott győzelmet aratni a dél-itáliai normannok felett, aminek fejében 1082-es szerződésükben rendkívüli kereskedelmi privilégiumokat adott az itáliai köztársaság hajósainak. Vám- és adómentességet élveztek, továbbá kikötőhelyeket és raktárakat kaptak Konstantinápolyban, ami óriási csapás volt a bizánci tengeri kereskedőkre nézve. Ióannész átlátta a helyzet veszélyes voltát, és egy császári családtag megsértése ürügyén Kerküra szigetére támadt, majd kitiltotta a velenceieket Bizáncból. A köztársaság válaszul nagy flottával elragadta Kephalléniát, illetve az Égei-tengeren végigpusztította Rhodoszt, Szamoszt, Khioszt, Leszboszt és Androszt.
A háborút kihasználva 1124-ben II. István Zára kivételével visszahódította a velenceiektől az 1118-ban elragadott Dalmáciát. A hosszú évek óta elhanyagolt bizánci flotta azonban nem vehette fel a versenyt Velencével. Az itáliaiak győztek, 1125-ben Dalmáciát is visszahódították, 1126-ban pedig elérték, hogy II. Ióannész megerősítse privilégiumiakat.

Nem Velence volt az egyetlen veszélyes hatalom Itáliában. II. Roger szicíliai gróf ugyanis egyesítette az összes normann területet a félsziget déli részén, és 1130-ban királlyá koronázták. Ez nemcsak Bizánc, hanem a Német-római Birodalom érdekeit is sértette, így Ióannész mind III. Lothárral, mind utódjával, III. Konráddal szövetségre lépett, amibe Pisát is bevonta azzal, hogy 1136-ban megerősítette az apja által korábban nekik juttatott privilégiumokat. Ugyanebben az évben segítséget nyújtott Lothár csapatainak, akik Roger lázadó alattvalóit támogatni vonultak délre. A gyűrű működött, Ióannész idején nem érte normann támadás a Balkánt.

Antiochia

Ióannésznak atyjához hasonlóan a legfőbb külpolitikai célt Antiochia hódoltatása jelentette. Az ősi bizánci várost 1098-ban vették be az I. keresztes hadjárat lovagjai, akik ahelyett, hogy átadták volna a várost a császárnak, a Bizánccal ellenséges dél-itáliai normannok egyik hercegét tették meg Antiochia fejedelmének. I. Bohemundot csak hosszas harcok árán sikerült meghódolásra kényszeríteni, ám utódja, Tankréd nem ismerte el az egyezség érvényességét. Az antiochiai úton azonban két akadállyal is le kellett számolnia Ióannésznak: az Ikóniumi Szultánság 1086-os szétesésével hatalomra kerülő Dánismandidákkal és Kis-Örményországgal. A Meliténét is birtokukban tartó Dánismandidák emírje, az Iszaakiosz hercegnek menedéket adó Gází Gümüstigin 1134-es halála után kialakuló belviszályoknak köszönhetően már nem jelentettek veszélyt: Ióannész 1135-ben döntő győzelmet aratott.

Kis-Örményországot az 1129-ben trónra lépő I. Leó terjesztette ki egész Kilikiára, ezáltal akadályt képezett Ióannész antiochiai tervei megvalósításában. A bizánci csapás 1137-ben fényes sikert hozott: a legjelentősebb kilikiai erősségek (Szeleukeia, Korükosz, Tarszosz, Adana, Mamisztra) sorra elestek, a hegyi erődjeibe visszahúzódó Leót pedig a következő évben gyermekeivel együtt elfogták és Konstantinápolyba vitték fogságba.

A gyors kilikiai siker eredményeképp a bizánciak már 1137 augusztusában Antiochia alá érkeztek, ami rövidesen kapitulált. Rajmund fejedelem beleegyezett, hogy kitűzzék a bizánci lobogót Antiochia falaira, és a császár 1138-ban ünnepélyesen bevonult a városba. Rajmund azonban vonakodott segíteni szíriai hadjáratát (így hiába ostromolta Sajzar várát), és a latin papság nyomására 1142-ben felmondta a hűbért. A császár ellentámadásra készült, de talán tervei között szerepelt a császári befolyás kiterjesztése egészen Palesztináig. Az odavezető úton azonban egy vadászat során a Toros-hegységben megsebezte egy mérgezett nyíl, és meghalt.

Örökösödése

Ióannész már 1122-ben társcsászárává tette legidősebb fiát, az 1106-os születésű Alexioszt, ő azonban 1142-ben megbetegedett és meghalt a pamphüliai Attalia városában, ahol apja mellett hadakozott. Seregei hazavezetését öccsére, Andronikoszra bízták, ám ő a feladat teljesítése közben szintén beteg lett. A császárnak két fia maradt: az 1113 körül született Iszaakiosz és az 1118-ban világra jött Manuél. A haldokló uralkodó Manuél mellett döntött, aki Ióannész Akszukhosz főparancsnok támogatásával meg is szerezte a trónt.

Házassága, gyermekei

Ióannész még apja életében, 1104-ben vette feleségül Szent László magyar király lányát, Piroskát, akit Bizáncban Eiréné néven ismertek, és rendkívül kegyes élete miatt 1134. augusztus 13-án bekövetkezett halála óta szentként tisztelnek. Nyolc gyermekük született:

 Alexiosz (1106–1142), 1122-től haláláig társcsászár;
 Maria Komnéné (1106–?), Alexiosz ikertestvére, Ióannész Roger Dalasszánosz felesége;
 Andronikosz (1108–1142);
 Anna Komnéné (1110–?), Sztephanosz Kontosztephanosz felesége;
 Iszaakiosz (1113 k./1115–1154) szebasztokratór;
 Theodóra Komnéne (1116–?), Manuél Anemasz felesége;
 Manuél (1118–1180).
 Eudokia Komnéné (1119–?), Theodórosz Vatazész felesége;

IDNR to post Operation Disrupt signs at state parks to connect people in crisis to important resources
Suicide Prevention IDNR
Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2022
jayette.bolinski@illinois.gov
SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) has joined the Operation Disrupt initiative aimed at preventing suicide by posting mental health crisis support information at Illinois state parks.
Signs displaying the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline phone number and website, both of which are available 24 hours a day, will be posted in at least 17 IDNR sites in remote locations around Illinois, including Starved Rock, Giant City and Pere Marquette.
"Illinois state parks and trails are a beautiful, peaceful respite for hundreds of thousands of visitors every year," said IDNR Director Colleen Callahan. "As IDNR continues to remind people that spending time in nature has positive mental health benefits, it's also vital that we make sure people who may find themselves in a mental or emotional crisis at a state park know about resources that are available to help them."
Sept. 4-10 is National Suicide Prevention Week.
Operation Disrupt is an initiative announced earlier this year to address the growing epidemic of teen and young adult suicides. It was developed by a joint task force including Linden Oaks Behavioral Health, Naperville Park District, City of Naperville, and Forest Preserve Districts of DuPage and Will Counties.
"I am so pleased that IDNR and the Conservation Police are joining the Operation Disrupt initiative. They are outstanding partners in the fight against teen and young adult suicide," said Officer Thomas Wronski of the Naperville Park District Police and one of the founders of Operation Disrupt. "Operation Disrupt is growing in visibility and influence because it is a practical, easy-to-implement program that can be adapted to the different needs of organizations and their unique locations."
The first 17 IDNR sites to post Operation Disrupt signs are: Dixon Springs, Eagle Creek, Fort Massac, Fox Ridge, Giant City, Pere Marquette, Rock Cut, Sangchris Lake, Starved Rock and Wolf Creek state parks; Eldon Hazlet, Kickapoo, Moraine View, and Shabbona Lake state recreation areas; Trail of Tears State Forest; Golconda Marina; and Shelbyville State Fish and Wildlife Area.
Illinois Conservation Police do not maintain statistics about the number of suicides in Illinois state parks, but they are not uncommon. One suicide is too many, said Illinois Conservation Police Director Jed Whitchurch, noting that most Illinois conservation police officers have received crisis training so they can provide appropriate assistance when needed.
"One sobering aspect of conservation police work is that officers will most likely encounter a suicide in a state park at some point in their career," Whitchurch said. "We want to do everything we can to ensure people in crisis have access to help, even in the most remote areas of the state. Proper crisis training for officers and the Operation Disrupt signs are two important steps toward that goal."
The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline can be reached by dialing 988, which connects the caller to a certified crisis center near where the call is placed. The Lifeline also can be reached at 800-273-8255 (TALK). For more information, visit https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org.

Sunderland tipped for January transfer business
by James Thompson	share
3 minute read	 13/12/2021 | 05:30pm
So far this season, Sunderland have managed to win 13 of their 21 played league games, drawing three and losing five, earning them 42 points and placing them in third place in the league table.
With Sunderland having had a number of injury issues to deal with for the past few weeks with the likes of Niall Huggins, Dennis Cirkin, Denver Hume, Aiden McGeady and Luke O'Nien all out, this shows how well manager Lee Johnson and the available players he's had at his disposal have done lately.
Having gone unbeaten in their five previous league games, it seems as though the Sunderland fans could have something to be excited about and look forward to during the upcoming January transfer window that could help Johnson's side make their final push for promotion.
On the subject of the January market, Johnson had this to say on the matter over the weekend.
He said: "Our aim will be to come out of the January transfer window better than we went into it. There's always a natural evolution of any squad. I think we will be able to recruit – I expect us to be able to recruit. Nobody has told me any different."
Taking this into account, it certainly sounds that Johnson will be looking to strengthen his squad in January as the Black Cats aim to finally win promotion back to the Championship after spending the previous three seasons in League One.
How many players do Sunderland need to sign in January?
Given their injury issues, particularly in the defensive areas, perhaps this should be where the Wearside club look to add in the winter to make sure they don't miss out on promotion.
With this in mind, January could provide Kyril Louis-Dreyfus with a great chance of giving Johnson exactly what he needs to get Sunderland through to the end of the season and in with a chance of securing their place in the Championship for next season.
In addition to any potential new players coming in, Sunderland also have the option of recalling some of their players currently loaned out elsewhere such as Jack Diamond and Josh Hawkes, which could also give Johnson some extra options in his squad to get them over the line to promotion.

Valmet DNA automation system is in use for the whole bio power plant, including the CFB boiler, Balance of Plant, fuel handling system and electrical network
Asia's largest biomass power plant operates with Valmet DNA
The Dangjin plant near Seoul in South Korea is the largest biomass power plant in Asia. It uses a mix of agricultural and associated by-products. The plant generates 105 MW electricity and the demanding process is run with Valmet's latest technology, Valmet DNA.
GS Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. (GS E&C) in Korea has chosen Valmet to supply automation for the Dangjin Biomass Power Plant. The plant started up in August 2015. The advanced automation solution makes the process easy to control.
Valmet's references were decisive
The power plant site is operated by GS EPS. The site consists of three other power plants that are LNG-fired combined-cycle power plants, 1–3. With this newly started biomass power plant, owner GS EPS aims to enhance its competitiveness in the power market, increase its electricity capacity and produce more renewable energy. "We have chosen Valmet because the company has many references from demanding biomass-fired power plants. It also fulfilled our technical support requirements," says Gye Man Jeong, General Manager, GS E&C.
The plant is fueled with a mix consisting of 80% palm kernel shells and 20% coal. With Valmet's advanced automation applications, it is possible to control even these difficult fuel mixes with varying fuel ratios.
Automation system covers the whole plant
JeongHo Ahn, Maintenance Manager
of GS EPS and GiHeung Kwan of Valmet
Valmet DNA automation system is in use for the whole bio power plant, including the CFB boiler, Balance of Plant, fuel handling system and electrical network. At the plant, there is a main control room and another one for the fuel field.
JeongHo Ahn, Maintenance Manager of GS EPS, explains that the use of biomass is very important for the company and its sustainability progress. GS E&C has launched a wide energy management program where the greenhouse gas emission level assessment and measures to reduce emissions, for instance, play a key role.
To be aware of the environmental values status, JeongHo Ahn is able to follow the values through the automation system. He is very familiar with the plant's automation solution.
The main control room is run by five operators who are working daily with Valmet DNA. In the beginning, the technical descriptions in the user interface have been used regularly. Now, when the operators have learned the features of the automation technology, these are not used any more so frequently. But they are certainly useful when educating new operators to do the work.
Flexible operation means a smooth process
DNA Operate is the operator interface of the automation system and is executed in the operator stations. DNA Operate is used for all operation and monitoring, including graphic process control displays, event and alarm displays, loop windows and interlocking windows among others. For the users, it is important to know what has happened in the process and what are the reasons behind the events.
The history can be easily seen and analyzed, which JeongHo Ahn emphasizes. "The history replay feature makes the follow-up easy. We can also learn the roots of the disturbances and alarms, which is essential when running the process. With the drag and drop trend analysis, the timeline can be visually presented. The visual elements are quick and more informative to look at," he explains.
DCS – a tool for the operators
"The more user friendly the automation system, the better the operators can utilize it. For me, it is most important that the heavy users, the operators, can make good use of the automation system. The initial training was given by Valmet experts, and it was a good start to learn the process. Then you can learn more by doing," states JeongHo Ahn.
First thing every morning, JeongHo Ahn checks what has happened during the night shift. Luckily, he has an impressive tool, Valmet DNA, which offers much more than just following the process. For him, it is significant to analyze the alarms to further develop the process.
Information is power
The information coming from Valmet's monitoring and reporting applications is regularly used by the management. There are many parameters which can be followed, for instance, the fuel data and performance of the power plant and steam turbine. Real-time reporting is based on concrete measurements.
Valmet's heat exchanger performance monitoring provides the bio plant maintenance personnel with a powerful tool to detect problems and deviations in the heat balance. Furthermore, with the thermal stress monitoring, the personnel can follow the heat situation that contributes to the economical operation of the boiler. In power generation, like in many other industries, correct information at the right time clearly contributes to the success of the business.
Bio plant with attitude
Now, the project is completed successfully and JeongHo Ahn remembers the project phases with pleasure. The planning phase was completed professionally; the installation and start-up were executed ahead of schedule. During the entire project, information was shared openly between the customer and Valmet. This helped demonstrate the expertise of Valmet's engineers.
Now, when Asia's largest bio plant is producing electricity on a regular basis, the plant management can be proud of its achievement, which was accomplished successfully together with Valmet.

The 25-Second Trick For Top 10 Managed Account Platforms
May 19, 2019, 5:12 am / dominickdmvhr.tinyblogging.com
Some Known Details About Free Mining Sites
Being in a position to make transactions or exchange currencies while on the move is in demand. Most reputable and modern DCEs have developed cellular apps for their website. For the most part, it's only Android or iOS users who can benefit from a DCEs mobile program. Blackberry and Windows users may generally still need to use their cellular web browser. .
Once you're knowledgeable about the exchange and trading tools readily available, the next step is to sign up to the DCE. We look at how easy it is and also the credentials you need to be able to sign up for the exchange. In general, most DCEs have an extremely similar sign-up process; although, some do include their own unique requirements. .
Not known Factual Statements About Top 10 Managed Account Platforms
Some DCEs will provide you levels of trading depending on the ID that you provide. If you merely provide an email address and confirm the email, then you will be given a limit on the value of currencies you can exchange or exchange. To increase the limit, you'll need to present additional credentials. .
The smart Trick of Double Your Bitcoins Legit That Nobody is Talking About
Safety is one of the utmost important sections that we pay for. There are many DCEs on the market and so many advantages that occasionally the safety of this exchange can be overlooked. Something to bear in mind is when we are reviewing safety, we are not only looking at how protected the servers are.
Primarily the connection to servers and the encryption used as well as user account solitude are assessed. When we see any holes in any one of these regions, then we will expose them. Areas like 2-step authentication, SMS verification, and browser in addition to device security are a number of the safety points we pay intensely. .
The Of Top 10 Managed Account Platforms
On top of this, we now look at how nicely backed up the systems really are. Some DCEs utilize centralised systems, which are not always the safest.

FATHER CHRISTMAS has shed his gloves. Yet, clad in his red and white garb, he had an important mission. Inveterate traveller that he is, he first had to incarnate the resurrection of the utopian myth about the horn of plenty –the cornucopia.
It then fell to him to pay, and pour, it into the account of a mercantile morality earmarked for training children in the ecstasies of consumerism. In Père Coco, a 5-minute looped video made by Jordi Colomer, for which the city of Saint-Nazaire provides the multifaceted backdrop, if we follow the wanderings of this famous character, it is still not without some difficulty that we recognize him. For here is our great purveyor forced to wield the pickaxe, glean this and that from here and there, from the very sidewalk, in public gardens, in carparks, in bars, slapbang in the middle of a beach, on deserted quaysides –things to fill his sack. Without reckoning that this latter, an albeit essential work tool and necessary emblem, turns out, at the start of the itinerary, to be the fruit of a find. The remainder of his traditional props is in keep-ing. Without a sleigh, yet obliged to sleigh things around, he borrows the modest means of transport provided by providence on his route: a bicycle (which he will nevertheless, as a good citizen, turn in to the Lost Property Office), roller skates, and so on. His red hat is turned into a vermilion helmet, as used on motorbikes, and he will only be able to put on his famous boots, now made of paraffin-blue plastic, when he comes to the end of a march that is already a lengthy one. This, in words of one syllable, so to speak, is our Father Christmas turned into a pauper and a homeless person of no fixed address. He does not spend any money any more, he is on the lookout. He does not hand things out any more, he collects. He no longer brings out, by magic, objects that are desired and desirable, rather he pilfers, in a gesture involving the gathering up of debris, what has been left behind, lost, and forgotten about. He is no longer on a direct line to Heaven; rather he vainly awaits his instructions from a cellphone abandoned in the night. And the toys, gadgets, knick-knacks, clothes are other potential presents which fall due to him as he wanders about are futilely piled up in a sack which you might think was locked, as a result of the set of keys which significantly marks the point where the film's loop starts round all over again. This key which, in a thoroughly logical way, opens up a promise, and what the language of stories calls a treasure trove, here closes over the identical repetition of this derisory harvest. This is probably why the only child who appears is about to leave, prisoner of the gesture of farewell between the window of a train bearing her elsewhere at very high speed. Father Christmas in reverse, childhood in exodus, objects with no use: the lesson is an easy one to learn. It rings out with Pasolini-like tones: consumerism is bankrupt, and its meagre hopes referred to the rigour of asphalt.
There is nothing difficult about following this same critical thread in Jordi Colomer's other works. Fuegogratis, Simo, Eldorado, Le Dortoir and so on all in their own way deal with this world where the presence of objects has changed meaning to the point of reversing the nature of their use. In the work of Claes Oldenburg objects are wonderfully inflated until they take on an intimidating size in space, and are then immediately deflated and lose their bearing; in Jordi Colomer's work, however, magic is still present, but the manifestation of it is more random. The fact is that what involved the fantastic (disproportion, fantastic projection, etc) in Oldenburg's work passed by way of the use of traditional sculptural resources: spread and unfolding of the volume, nature of materials. For Colomer, the use of film offered him an elasticity of data which combines the memory of performances and their theatricality, temporal fluidity, and a heightened plastic flexibility, in a nutshell, a tool that picks up the stake because it takes into account the occupation of a space and its various "inhabitants".
Let us pass some of his works through the sieve. Fuegogratis: this is the complete furniture of an ideal house which a young couple is saving from fire, or throwing into it, depending–since the scene actually unfolds the wrong way round. For this sequence produced for the space in the Gallery at Noisy-le- Sec, to wit, an old middle-class residence, a building rich in history, where the kitsch element is duplicated and preserved in an almost zoological way in the midst of a suburb being renovated, can also be deciphered as a merry potlatch of reigning advertising imagery. This, as we well know, sells patterns of behaviour, customs and habits and even complete ranges of feelings, rather than products. Involved here is the destruction-birth-by-enchantment of all this stock of furniture as an "affective reserve" that the couple, pathetic supermarket Ken and Barbie at the wheel of the gilded carriage taking them towards the night of their destiny illuminated by the headlights, is so happy about. Fuegogratis? Fire of joy, stake of vanities, hearth henceforth with neither faith nor place ("The corrupted idea of work tallies with the complementary idea of a nature which, in accordance with Dietzgen's formula, "if offered free", as Benjamin wrote at the end of his eleventh thesis On the Concept of History)? Or, quite to the contrary, motorway grill sign (the lettering is like that of the "Buffalo Grill" which eerily lights up the night in Père Coco), adulterated warmth, new age frisson, promotion of love life? It's impossible to decide here: the principle of reversal (of the filming) does away with all stability. Rather, it imprints all action actually on the wax of a time that does not pass. This technique of negative reversal, whose use has been made systematic as much by the Soviet avant-gardes (Vertov, in particular) as by Leni Riefenstahl (the famous divers of the Gods of the Stadium) in the 1920s and 1930s, was supposed to heal the eye from the effects of speed. What we fail to grasp, so rapid is this in the fire of action, is better understood once it has been seen, or seen again, the other way round. But this odd postulate ill masked the fact that what was in reality involved for these two totalitarian utopias the use of cinematic scrolling running counter to its vocation. As did the fact that it was a matter of stemming the passage of time in favour of rendering it eternal. Otherwise put, it was less important to precisely break down this or that (a sporting feat, the food chain, the mechanization of labour, etc) than, with infinitely more ambition, to provide modern icons (thus cinematographic ones) with a new reign, this one with the promise of enduring. It is perhaps not incongruous in this respect to male the comparison between the proposition of Fuegogratis and a similar scene in David Lynch's Lost Highway. From one work to the next, numerous similarities might incidentally be pointed to: parallelism of lights in chiaroscuro, same effectiveness of the attack, overall slightly emphatic tone, mystery maintained and light-hearted, framed eroticism ("Final Eros" can be deciphered on the clown-like pullover of the male character with his typical hat), allegorical suspicion weigh- ing on each gesture (Jordi Colomer in all probability inherits this from the cinema of his fellow countryman Luis Buñuel, to whom Simo is an explicit tribute), etc. But in a more specific way, we remember that sequence treated by Lynch as a leitmotiv throughout his film, to such a point that it acts as a counterpart to the video passages of the household interior f the beginning–a house is consumed the wrong way round: this is the hidden abode in the middle of the desert of the devilish master. The fact is that the whole of Lost Highway is constructed around an enigma which might be put together thus (and which, incidentally, runs through several other works made by the film-maker): why hasn't the United States left its 1950s behind? Why is this moment of economic euphoria, baby boom, and cold war–otherwise put the moment when American capitalism (the famous American way of life) was put forward like a real utopia and political alternative –still a ghost that is so formidably at work? The reversal of the cremation, just like the whole principle of Lynch's scenario, which prevents time from proceeding by moving forward, that is to say by freeing itself from itself, indicates that History is against the grain– are at least condemned to act in an on-the-spot way around those ground-breaking mythical years. Indicates, too, that that wooden house in Lost Highway, just like the cardboard furniture of Fuegogratis, appear, or so it would seem, as the re-updating of motifs hailing from the tale for children, a sign that what is involved in both works is the treatment of historical time. For what the tale is busy transmitting is not the resolution of a tension, but the actual exposé of an inconsolable hiatus between synchrony and diachrony, between the fall in time and its sequence of uncontrollable events and the feeling of its duration in experience, in memory, in the very narrative itself.
A contrast, therefore, with a realism by default and a utopian dreamlike factor by excess, which all tales guard against reabsorbing, for in it is seen the chance to bind what is only just beginning (children, addressees and beneficiaries: the promise of time advancing) with what is very ancient (narrative knowhow, those who carry it and what it protects).
Les Villes, for example, plays with a similar painful polarity, arrangement of a twofold projection, impossible for the viewer to embrace simultaneously. Two scenarios, almost identical in their reference to the vein of silent comic films, are put forward. On one screen, a female figure moving dangerously forward on the outer façade of a building looses her hold and plunges to the ground where she is flattened among the traf-fic that your ear can make out. On the other screen, the same figure, after an identical progression, manages to step through a window and smoothly ventures inside the building, where she vanishes. As a balance between disaster and salvation, co-existence, above all, of each of the decisive hypotheses where it is up to the onlooker to face up to a lack of resolve, the two characters, the one who falls and the one who is saved, are archaic figures revisited by the contemporary tragedy which is expressed through gags. They are loaded, a load that leaves all possibilities available. As a result, there is nothing fortuitous about the fact that, in the Noisy exhibition, the video next to Fuegogratis is titled Anarchitekton. In it we see a brother in arms of Père Coco (perhaps it is the same actor?) walking through the suburbs, as alone as a demonstrator rallying to a lost cause, brandishing a cardboard model of an unconstructed architecture, echoing Malevich's famous modules, in the middle of existing buildings. Without counting the shared use of cardboard in Anarchitekton and in Fuegogratis, this lowly DIY material also used for the architectural project and the symmetry between the two works nevertheless seems blatant. On the one hand, the dream of edification in front of its reality; on the other, the dream of destruction facing its accomplishment. But the affinity that links the two works is not content with being so formal. As in the logic of the tale, the effect produced in Anarchitekton is many and varied, not to say ambiguous. With the help of perspective and focus, the model appears on several occasions in a size identical to that of the buildings among which is rises up like a manifesto. But a manifesto of what? Criticism? Is it a matter of appreciating the difference between this scaled-down model and the ponderous constructions of our cities? Or on the contrary their similarities? We are aware of Dan Graham's analysis (and the analyses of others, too), according to which the modernist programme and the architectural utopias of avant-gardes have fairly and squarely been realized. So is this poor hero looking like a protester not the sandwichman sadly dispatched to promote what exists? In what way have "new towns" freed themselves from a programme of subjugation against which they were supposed to do battle? Yet there is no ironical denunciation in this video. The "action" which leads on our lonesome demonstrator, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza mixed together presenting the advertisement for windmills to come, retains all its force. It is not selling a project, it is a reminder of the existence of smallness, of the presence of a counterpower which clings, even if it means another passage, to a shift to action other than that of a miniature construction and hands this over to the urban drift, free of all rootedness. Architecture moves to the rank of mobile sculpture, held at arm's length. The fairytale of a land with architecture that is liberated and liberating (anarchic) is only possible on the scale of the model, precisely where the project is limited to define the future without wishing to lend form to it, as the works of Dan Graham had already illustrated.
Simo: here we have a large number of pairs of shoes which a female figure in miniature crams into a room which she only leaves in order to bring into it various foodstuffs which will end up in a pile blocking access to the room. Like the character embodied by Jacques Villeret in Godard's Keep your right up, she stuffs herself with a jar of jam indicating a regressive kind of greediness which swallows everything with the same voracious appetite. Consumer goods, space (the white rom shrinks beneath a clutter and obstruction that the petty theft of a black character is not, on its own, enough to ventilate), city (the model of an illuminated building in the end surmounts the mountain of useless purchases), and, to end with, everything outside, are thus hoarded in bulk. The ladder, echoing the stylite column of Buñuel's Simon of the Desert, and symbol of spiritual elevation, is brought down at the end of the film, and thrown out of the frame by the little monster. The metaphor of the situation of the capitalist world is tempting enough not to be refused: the female dwarf isolated in her vain and sanitized world–a sterile prison in which knick-knack treasures are piled up–talks about herself.
Eldorado presents a blind actor who fences with himself in a bedroom with all its furniture, as if he were exercising with a long and meticulous ransacking, for which Jeff Wall's Destroyed Room seems to be the horizon. The land of milk and honey –pays de Cocagne– conjured up by its title, that utopia of the original consumer, which boasted of happiness under the auspices of saturation, is deregulated: quantity does not even replace quality any more–it is almost a fight for living space, waged with closed eyes, that is involved. In Le Dortoir, the camera roams through the accommodation of the occupants of an apartment block, occupants whose deep sleep seems to be guarded by the mass of scattered objects surrounding them. Inspired by a chapter from Life, a User's Manual, in which Georges Perec forges a renewed link with the extenuating descriptive lists introduced in Les Choses, the film, thus following what the novel describes, "might offer the classic images of the day after a party. [...] On the floor, everywhere, the remains of the gathering." But such a proposition seems to be able to act as a structure for the whole thing. Something has taken pace, something which is now over: relics float by, and the unattainable meaning of them no longer holds back and contains the clutter. In Pianito, the exasperated and futile dusting of a piano (that supreme instrument of interpretation and performance) merely underscores the emptiness of its mass. As in a Beckett play, this piano makes a pair with its player who is as something of a loose end, and all the two together manage to do is perform the chaotic concerto of their declared end beneath the dust of time, which is winning the day. Fear not, however. It would be tantamount to reducing to not very much to involve Jordi Colomer's videos in a criticism with no more than sociological import. This clearly forms the inevitable and inconsolable backdrop of it. But if it has been possible to highlight the figure of Father Christmas, to the point of coming across like a generic allegory, this is because it entails other stakes and challenges in its wake. For it is understandable that beneath the gear and clothes of this stripped Father Christmas hides the artist whom Jordi Colomer is forced to play. More a dispenser, but, at best like Kurt Schwitters strolling around Berlin in search of bits for his future Merz works, a gleaner. As with Schwitters, where the collage retains traces of the previous life of its elements, and refuses to drag them into a harmonious composition, obvious and necessary impacts strike Colomer's images. These latter can not be other than disenchanted, summoned to be accomplices of the powerlessness which they bear witness to.
This is why, if Jordi Colomer has decided to opt for filmic material, while he unflaggingly lays claim to being a sculptor (to the point where this sounds almost like a joke), it is never in order to manufacture an imperious consistency, it is never to involve the spectator in the facile hypnosis of a regulated and consumable spectacle. You will have noted that Père Coco is formed by a sequential dissolve of static and at times blurred images, poorly framed and not very effective as a mise en scène. The movement of the figure's walk is hampered by its hiccuping presentation. All we have of its itinerary is brief cuts, as difficult to articulate as if an absent-minded or callow investigator had been given responsibility for its spinning. As in Chris Marker's The Jetty, the illusoriness of the unfolding in time and space is suspended; the jerkiness of paused images is preferred to it. The photo-novel thus mildly animated refers to the status of a viewpoint which itself becomes a crumbly, uncertain matter, controlled by its object. So it is important to extend this strategy involving a contradiction of viewpoints and their visual fray to all of Jordi Colomer's work. Between the space, constructed most of the time, closed, theatrical, and the camera movements describing it, there is an exacerbated discomfort that is not soothed by any reconciliation. So the camera rolls in Eldorado, for example, only framing the gesticulations of the actor without aiming first, as if it itself were caught by a blind and destructive trance. In Pianito, it is sudden inserts which reveal the trickery in which the actor has been tempted to get us to believe, breaking the contract that the playlet had drawn up. The pendulum-like movement of the lateral tracking shot, moving back and forth (a choreographic figure of which Godard was fond) between the bedroom and the outside, in Simo, helps to erase this dubious sharing between private and public and adds, furthermore, to the neurotic behaviour of its heroine (do we not hear the famous fearsome bars of Mr. Accursed –M. le Maudit–briefly whistle? Is not the girl's murderer himself transformed into a fearsome little girl?). After intruding and as the only waking thing (apart from a worker who is climbing a ladder whistling–again) in Le Dortoir, the camera is distinct from those drowsy, slumbering bodies that it moves over with a sovereign distance. The freedom of its aerial movements offers it the place of a subjectivity which distinguishes it from those sleeping people swamped in the midst of their objects. The reverse filming of Fuegogratis, in spite of its resemblance to an industrial cinematographic product, is part and parcel of this same logic. The rule of this sort of contradictory dialectic or alternate circulation is possibly offered in Les Jumelles. Here again, a lateral tracking shot moves over the set of a theatre (the beautiful room with its red armchairs in the Villa Arson), facing the audience's seats. What do we see? Deserted seats on which, as in an intermission, are lying clothes which an usherette collects–with an effectiveness more evident than Père Coco's, all the same. Then, sliding on its tracks, the camera shows us two young girls (actresses?), hidden from the room by a mirror, which they face. As they check their reflections in the mirror, the girls put on the clothes thus gathered, one layer upon another. And this while the tiers gradually fill up with spectators and the hubbub of their conversations. With one thing pursuing another, during this animation the girls reverse their action and gradually take off their layered costumes. The to-and-fro of the tracking shot makes it possible to link within one and the same impetus something, nonetheless, which is exchanged on another axis –between room and stage. The camera slides to the borderline between two distinct spaces, underlining this separation, and we know how much it underpins all spectacular rhetoric which goes by the name of representation. Duplication –and this is the rule–must protect itself from its model, because of the risk of becoming unreadable in its regard. This camera seems like an eye coming from the wings (in the foreground you can glimpse hangers, and props), as in the famous ascent in Citizen Kane up to the electric machinery in the opera scene. But just when it insists on the division of spaces, what the camera shows is rather the circulation between the rom and the stage, here made by clothes that have suddenly become stage costumes, a transformation that nobody other than she is in a position to discern since the mirror prohibits the reciprocal gaze. Who are the twins? At first glance: the two girls who actually look very alike, even if their successive getups help to tell them apart. Are they usherettes playing at being actresses? Are they actresses caught without costumes? Or are not the twins rather the room and the stage, endlessly swapping their position, "feeding"off one another? In an interview, Jordi Colomer refers to the "precarious situation of the spectator" and, moreover, mentions Cassavetes' Opening Night, where, in the name of art, an actress-and the film with her –ceases to make the distinction between the feigned and the experienced. It would be wrong, however, to believe in some Stanislavskian manifesto. Because what here becomes the object of the spectacle is not so much the swapping of parts or an unknown complicity, as the precariousness which joins representation and represented together, beyond "the cold mirror of the screen", the way Debord may risk it, commenting on this image from a frozen attendance in his In Girum Imus Nocte. In Pianito as in The Rehearsal, La Répétition it is indeed the disarray of the actor that is at stake. A disarray that has nothing to do with the success or failure of his undertaking (thus in Les Jumelles we do not know anything about the possible spectacle for which the audience has turned out), but rather something to do with the simple decision to be exposed. This is why the sets and the scenographic constructions shored up by bright colours and specific proportions, with which Colomer surrounds his projections, are not earmarked so much for redoubling the theatricality of the whole, and blurring the distribution of the images, but rather for protecting these latter. The specifically sculptural element remains present like a memory seconded to the protection of dreams which no longer have the strength to be realized. Except in the form of a bric-à-brac of cardboard toys, for which nobody has the instructions for use any more. What remains to be done is to manufacture, as well as possible, sentences that are more or less tangible with the material offered by the Alfabet, in order to substitute them, as Perec writes at the end of the chapter, for this "fragile papyrus which will probably never recover from it."

The General Court of the European Union has supported the Commission's finding that health claims made in relation to glucose tablets encouraged the consumption of sugar, that such encouragement was contrary to generally accepted principles of nutrition and health and therefore such claims could not be made even though the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) had confirmed the accuracy of the claims. (Dextro Energy GmbH & Co KG v Commission – Case T-100/15).
This decision is interesting because notwithstanding the scientific accuracy of the claims they were not authorised since such claims conflicted with the Commission's view on health and nutrition advice to reduce sugar intake.
The decision is also interesting in the context of the announcement in the UK Budget that a sugar tax on the makers of sugar sweetened beverages will be introduced in 2018.
Commission Regulation (EC No 1924/2006) ("the Food Claims Regulation") sets out the legal framework relating to nutrition and health claims made in relation to food products and is designed to ensure a high level of protection for consumers and to facilitate their choice of a varied and balanced diet.
Health claims relating to foods are prohibited unless the claims are authorised by the Commission and are included in a list of permitted claims under the Food Claims Regulation. The claims must also undergo a scientific assessment by EFSA.
Dextro Energy GmbH & Co. KG submitted for assessment by EFSA and for authorisation by the Commission the following claims in relation to its glucose products: "Glucose is metabolised within the body's normal energy metabolism", "Glucose contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism ", "glucose is metabolised within the body's normal energy metabolism during exercise", "glucose supports normal physical activity" and "glucose contributes to normal muscle function during exercise".
On the basis of the presented data the claims were assessed favourably by EFSA.
However, the Commission refused to authorise these health claims on the basis that claims that were, in the Commission's view, inconsistent with generally accepted nutrition and health principles should not be made. The use of the proposed health claims would, in the Commission's view, convey a conflicting and confusing message to consumers because it would encourage the consumption of sugars in circumstances where the intake of sugar was recommended to be reduced by national and international authorities. This purported conflict and confusion could not be alleviated by imposing specific conditions of use or additional statements or warnings. The claims were therefor not authorised.
Dextro applied to the General Court of the European Union to annul the Commission's decision. The General Court upheld the Commission's decision and dismissed Dextro's action. Health claims which highlight only the beneficial effects of glucose for energy metabolism without referring to the risks associated with increased sugar consumption, were ambiguous and misleading and therefore could not be authorised in the Court's view.

Saint Louis University, a private university under Catholic and Jesuit auspices, traces its history to 1818; it received its charter as Saint Louis University in 1832, becoming the first university established west of the Mississippi River in the United States of America.
The Madrid Campus dates from a modest study abroad program launched by Raymond L. Sullivant, S.J. in the 1960s. Its success led Father Sullivant to offer classes in conjunction with the University of Comillas and then to establish an independent, permanent program, with its administrative offices and classrooms located between Madrid's Complutense University and the city center in 1967. Shortly thereafter, a number of Spanish students, attracted to the University's liberal arts curriculum, enrolled in classes, and within a decade the university was home to hundreds of students. Its program expanded, providing a full range of courses and a library, which permitted Spanish and European students to complete the first two years of their undergraduate studies in Madrid.
Its distinct position, as the American Jesuit University in Spain, prompted Saint Louis University to build a campus. In 1990, it purchased what now stand as Padre Rubio and Padre Arrupe Halls, and in 2011 it purchased San Ignacio Hall, which was open during the summer of 2013. In 1996, it was the first U.S. university to receive official recognition from the Consejería de Educación y Cultura, Madrid's higher education authority.
While continuing to host study abroad students and to provide opportunities for students from around the world to begin their studies in Madrid, the campus was accredited to offer degree programs that reflect its international profile, including international business, communication, political science, economics, art history, English and Spanish. Today, Saint Louis University is recognized as a center of international education in Spain, committed to the ideals of service and leadership that the University, its students, faculty and staff have upheld since 1818.
Choose from more than 200 courses in English and Spanish across various subject areas including: arts and sciences, biology, business, chemistry, education, engineering, health sciences, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, pre-med and public health! Students can select classes to complete core, major or elective requirements. You may review the current course offerings directly on the Saint Louis University — Madrid Campus Courses and Syllabi webpage.
The Madrid Campus of Saint Louis University is a unique study abroad experience. Any given semester there are students on campus from approximately 65 countries, speaking more than 50 languages. Not only will you get to know Spain and the Spanish culture, but you'll be able to learn about other cultures as well. We´re looking for individuals who are curious to meet new people, travel to new places and contemplate new ideas and ways of viewing the world and themselves.
