After the war, the crimes committed by the French against the Jews became a taboo which slowly transformed over the years into what is today considered to be an obsession with the topic. These events are best demonstrated through the 1942 Vel’ d’Hiv’ roundup in which Parisian authorities gathered over 13,000 Jews, detaining over half of them in the Vélodrome d’Hiver, an indoor cycling arena in Paris, for almost a week without food, water, or sanitation.

  • Of Gods and Men
    Mongrel Media Presents OF GODS AND MEN A Film by Xavier Beauvois (120 min., France, 2010) Distribution Publicity Bonne Smith 1028 Queen Street West Star PR Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1H6 Tel: 416-488-4436 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 Fax: 416-488-8438 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com High res stills may be downloaded from http://www.mongrelmedia.com/press.html SYNOPSIS Eight French Christian monks live in harmony with their Muslim brothers in a monastery perched in the mountains of North Africa in the 1990s. When a crew of foreign workers is massacred by an Islamic fundamentalist group, fear sweeps though the region. The army offers them protection, but the monks refuse. Should they leave? Despite the growing menace in their midst, they slowly realize that they have no choice but to stay… come what may. This film is loosely based on the life of the Cistercian monks of Tibhirine in Algeria, from 1993 until their kidnapping in 1996. PREAMBLE In 1996 the kidnapping and murder of the seven French monks of Tibhirine was one of the culminating points of the violence and atrocities in Algeria resulting from the confrontation between the government and extremist terrorist groups that wanted to overthrow it. The disappearance of the monks – caught in a vice between both sides- had a great and long-lasting effect on the governments, religious communities and international public opinion. The identity of the murderers and the exact circumstances of the monks‟ deaths remain a mystery to this day.

  • Responsible Investment
    RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT VOTING AND ENGAGEMENT QUARTER 4, 2020 RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT AT QUILTER CHEVIOT INTRODUCTION This is our quarter four 2020 report outlining Quilter Cheviot’s engagement and voting activity with the companies we invest in. Our client base is a mix of private client portfolios, small pension funds, trusts and charities; as a result we have a long tail of small holdings which represent legacy and cherished positions. It would be impractical to vote on all our equity and investment trust positions and therefore we have chosen to focus on our largest and most widely held positions where we can have the most influence. Given the nature of our predominantly UK client base, these are UK-listed equities and investment trusts. From the beginning of 2020 we expanded the voting universe to include companies listed in the UK where we own more than 0.2% or £2 million on behalf of discretionary clients. This means that our voting universe has more than doubled. Where clients wish to vote their holdings in a specific way we do so on a reasonable endeavours basis; this applies whether the investment is in the core universe or not, and also to overseas holdings. We ensured that six clients were able to instruct their votes over the last quarter. We use the ISS proxy voting service in order to inform our decision making, however we will not automatically implement its recommendations. When we meet a company to discuss governance issues the research analyst does so alongside the responsible investment team as we are committed to ensuring that responsible investment operates within our investment process rather than apart from it.

    THE SMITHFIELD GAZETTE EDITION 161 July 2017 IN MEMORIAM PETER MARTINELLI mbe 1930-2017 Peter Martinelli who died on 27th April 2017 in Tenerife aged 87 Peter was on the Market on the first day of trading after rationing ended in 1954 and worked there for many years, eventually establishing PJ Martinelli Ltd which continues to be run by his son, Paul. Peter was the first to recognise that the Market needed its own representatives on the Court of Common Council and he served himself from 1994 until 2013. He was awarded an MBE for services to the Market and was a member of the Worshipful Company of Butchers. He served on the Council of the Tenants’ Association from 1973 until 1994 and was a past President. He was a former chairman of the BDCI and was a major force behind the Great Banquet held in Grand Avenue in 2004. He was also instrumental in the refurbishment of the war memorial in Grand Avenue. A memorial service will be arranged in due course. I am not sure how Peter would have felt about being the cover story in this Gazette which he was the driving force behind for so many years. Little did we know when we were putting together the April issue that it would be his last. All we can do now is try to carry on as he would have wished.

At least 80 people died in the recent Grenfell Tower fire in Kensington and Chelsea, West London. This incident has provoked much anger, debate and reflection on how such a tragedy could happen in London, one of the richest cities in the world. Seen through a public health lens, this disaster is ultimately about social inequality in modern Britain. Kensington and Chelsea is a deeply divided community, where many billionaires and very wealthy people live cheek by jowl with poor and disenfranchised people struggling to make ends meet. It is therefore not a surprise that such a terrible incident should happen in this socially unequal setting where very stark health inequalities already exist. This paper explores some of the broader underlying factors that may have contributed to this tragedy, the political determinants of health. As these factors are linked to both general and oral health inequalities, the lessons learnt from this incident have direct relevance and salience to oral health professionals concerned about tackling social inequalities in contemporary society. Margaret Whitehead’s classic definition of stringent health and safety record.
