Canada-Haïti : Olson Italis décroche son doctorat en bidiplomation

D’ores et déjà, Monsieur Olson Italis fait partie des rares haïtiens bénéficiant le système mondial de bidiplomation au niveau du troisième cycle universitaire (doctorat). Ce faisant, la soutenance de sa thèse donne lieu à deux diplômes : l’un dans une université canadienne et l’autre dans une université haïtienne. Pour la petite histoire, la bidiplomation est très courante dans les pays…

Today, in Canada, it’s the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

Why is it on December 6th? Because on that day in 1989, a man killed 14 women at an engineering school in Montreal to “fight feminism”.

Let’s remember those 14 women and keep fighting to stop violence against women, because the fight is far from over…

[newsfromstolenland]

Not only did he encourage violence against women, he praised the shooter at the École Polytechnique.

"Anti-feminist blogger Jean-Claude Rochefort, who was convicted of fomenting hatred against women, has been sentenced to 12 months in jail.

The 74-year-old had been arrested in December 2019 in connection with posts and doctored images he had posted to his blog, in which he praised Marc Lépine, who murdered 14 women at Montreal's École Polytechnique on Dec. 6, 1989 in an anti-feminist attack.

Charged in 2010 for making death threats against women on his website, Rochefort was writing under a pseudonym. Montreal police's cyber investigation team nevertheless managed to find him and charge him again in December 2019.

He was found guilty of wilfully promoting hatred against women last August. 

In his ruling, Quebec Superior Court Justice Pierre Labrie rejected Rochefort's claims that his publications constituted satire, exaggeration or self-deprecation.

Noting the use of the word kill and the use of images of firearms and decapitated women in the accused's posts, the judge found that Rochefort could not have been unaware that he was deliberately promoting hatred against women."

in light of that asshole being arrested, and the fact that he praised the École Polytechnique shooter, I want to talk about that shooting because so many of us weren't born or were too young to remember

on 6 December 1989, a man walked into a Montréal university, École Polytechnique, and massacred 14 women

he separated the men from the women, yelled << Vous êtes toutes des feministes! >> or "You're all feminists!" and opened fire on the women

the names of the women who were killed were Geneviève Bergeron, Hél��ne Colgan, Nathalie Croteau, Barbara Daigneault, Anne-Marie Edward, Maud Haviernick, Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz, Maryse Laganière, Maryse Leclair, Anne-Marie Lemay, Sonia Pelletier, Michèle Richard, Annie St-Arneault, and Annie Turcotte

the shooter claimed to have been fighting feminism, and thought women should not be allowed to study engineering.

my mother was an engineering student nearby, so I can tell you for a fact that this had an impact on women's studies outside of the school. several of my mom's classmates dropped out after the shooting.

the recent news of a man supporting what is sometimes known as the Montréal Massacre is horrifying. but it isn't unexpected. this is where anti-feminist and misogynistic ideology leads, and the modern version of those ideologies retain the same violent hatred that the École Polytechnique shooter had.

I will not name the shooter, he deserves no such naming. he died, but his ideology lives on and can still be deadly.

It has been 34 years (6 December, 1989) since the murder of 14 young women at Polytechnique Montréal. This horrendous act of gender-based violence led our country to declare 6 December as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada. ⁠

⁠

Today we mourn the loss and remember the lives of Geneviève Bergeron, Hélène Colgan, Nathalie Croteau, Barbara Daigneault, Anne-Marie Edward, Maud Haviernick, Maryse Laganière, Maryse Leclair, Anne-Marie Lemay, Sonia Pelletier, Michèle Richard, Annie St-Arneault, Annie Turcotte, Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz and the countless women whose lives have been lost or impacted by gender-based violence. ⁠

⁠

At home and abroad women, girls and 2SLGBTQIA+ people face unacceptable violence and discrimination. We reaffirm our commitment to the fight against gender-based violence and misogyny - today and every day. ⁠

On December 6, 1989, an armed man shot 14 women at Polytechnique Montréal. He killed them simply because they were women.

We have a duty to remember for all those who have to leave an abusive home, for all those who live with a form of violence on a daily basis. To end violence against women in all its forms. So that my daughter and every young girl have the aspiration to become what they want, in complete safety.

They Died Because They Were Women

December 6th is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada. Established in 1991 by the Parliament of Canada this day marks the anniversary of the murders in 1989 of 14 young women who were engineering students at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal. Their killer was a violent misogynist as is evidenced in his ranting.

We must never forget. They died because they were women.

Every year I make a social media post of remembrance, but for some this year it is seemingly being censored. Maybe there is a word or phrase that the bots don't like? So I have decided to share my thoughts, remembrance, anger and grief here in my blog.

I am adding the name and face of Giulia Cecchettin to the list of women.

Giulia was a 22 year old Università di Padova engineering student and artist who was murdered by an obsessive ex-boyfriend on November 11th of this year. She had been planning her graduation party when she was attacked, kidnapped and killed. Her killer is a fellow engineering student and he was reportedly angry that she was graduating ahead of him. Her kidnapping and murder has been front page news here in Italy for weeks now. And I see the parallel of the crimes committed against the female engineering students in Montreal and Giulia despite being separated by over three decades. Giulia Cecchettin was laid to rest by her family yesterday with over 10,000 supporters in attendance. Her father and sister eloquently spoke out for change in the wake of this horrific tragedy.

Gender-based violence must be stopped. Violence against women and girls is a human rights violation. In over thirty years nothing has really changed despite new laws that are not fully enforced. Every day women all over our world are killed because they are women, mostly by their intimate partners or ex-partners and other men who are close to them.

Giulia was the 84th victim of femicide in my adopted home this year.

She was not the last.

(Russian Federation) Growing Interest in Terahertz Radiation During the last few decades, there has been a growing interest in biomedical applications of terahertz (THz) radiation. This radiation has a frequency range of 0.1 to 3.0 THz, corresponding to wavelengths ranging from about 3 millimeters in free space to 100 micrometers. In terms of energy, this radiation has quantum energies of approximately 0.3 to 10 meV. This interest has been driven by the rapid progress in THz technology. Numerous research articles have highlighted the potential of THz technology in early, less invasive, non-invasive and real-time diagnosis of malignant and benign neoplasms with different nosologies and locations. Recent Advances in THz Effects on Biological Systems Research results in the field of the effects of THz waves on biological systems of different levels of organization, such as biomolecules, cells and organisms, have recently been discussed. Despite the large amount of data accumulated in this exciting line of research, we still possess rather limited knowledge about the biological effects of THz waves. Therefore, this review summarizes the up-to-date knowledge in the area of cellular exposure to THz radiation and paves the way towards THz dosimetry and therapeutic pathways. Conclusion on terahertz technology In conclusion, the latest discoveries in the terahertz range indicate a promising revolution in the research and application of biomedical technologies. As researchers continue to delve deeper into their study, we are likely to see significant changes in the way we approach the diagnosis and treatment of a number of diseases and disorders.

L'éclipse solaire

L'observation de l'éclipse solaire du 8 avril révèle la majesté et la rareté d'un phénomène céleste captivant. En scrutant attentivement ce spectacle, j'ai pu noter les multiples dimensions de son impact. L'obscurité temporaire qui enveloppe la terre, la lueur argentée de la couronne solaire et les teintes éthérées du ciel créent une atmosphère mystique et solennelle. De plus, l'éclipse solaire suscite un intérêt scientifique, offrant des opportunités uniques d'étude sur la physique solaire et ses effets sur notre planète. Cette observation souligne ainsi la fascination continue de l'humanité pour les merveilles cosmiques et la nécessité de les préserver pour les générations futures. La prochaine visible à Polytechnique Montréal sera en 2236.

École Polytechnique: Global Fight Against Gender-based Violence

  Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women: “On this National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women, we remember the 14 young women who were senselessly murdered and the 13 others who were injured at the École Polytechnique de Montréal. Today, we pay tribute to their lives that were tragically cut short simply because they were women, and we reaffirm our commitment to eliminate gender-based violence. “As we remember the victims of this hateful, cowardly act, we are also reminded that, for many women, girls, and gender-diverse people in Canada and around the world, the violent misogyny that led to this tragedy still exists. The risk of violence is even higher for Indigenous women and girls, racialized women, women living in rural and remote areas, people in 2SLGBTQI+ communities, and women with disabilities. That is why we have and continue to strengthen our laws and ensure supports for victims and survivors of gender-based violence. “Through the Gender-Based Violence Strategy, we are delivering crucial community-based and trauma-informed support for victims, survivors, and their families. Last year, we launched the It’s Not Just campaign to help young people recognize, build awareness of, and end gender-based violence. “We are also working with provinces and territories across Canada to implement the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence – which sets a framework to have a Canada free of gender-based violence, with supports for victims, survivors, and their families. We have already announced bilateral agreements with Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Prince Edward Island, Nunavut, the Yukon, Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick – ensuring supports are readily available and accessible across the country. There is also more work to do to put an end to the ongoing tragedy of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ people. We will continue to work in partnership with Indigenous families, Survivors, leaders, and partners, as well as with provinces and territories, to implement the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ People National Action Plan and the Federal Pathway to make our communities safer. “We are also taking transformative action to strengthen gun control measures and address the alarming role of firearms in domestic and gender-based violence. We banned over 1,500 models of assault-style firearms and their variants, including the weapon used at the École Polytechnique. We implemented a national handgun freeze, restricting the sale, purchase, and transfer of handguns, and through Bill C-21, we can implement some of the strongest measures in Canadian history to tackle gun violence and keep our communities safe. “As we mark the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence, I encourage Canadians to honour the victims and survivors of the École Polytechnique massacre. You can wear a white ribbon, attend a vigil in your community, or observe a moment of silence at 11:00 a.m. Together, we can and must put an end to gender-based violence and build a safer, more inclusive future, where everyone can reach their full potential.”   Sources: THX News & The Canadian Government.
