A necessary makeover for three rose windows, victims of time and years: their central part was torn off by violent winds for two of them and the leads torn off weakening the good support of the stained glass window with risk of glass falling for the third . At the end of October, a platform was installed to carry out painting work following water infiltration on the choir ceiling. With the agreement of the town hall, project manager and the company responsible for the restoration, the Friends of Heritage association, chaired by Nicole Garras, was able to take advantage of this particular scaffolding to restore the rose windows and above all avoid a cost additional to the association to access the stained glass windows.
Thanks to this platform which reached 8.5 m high, Vincent Gallegno, stained glass craftsman, dismantled and reassembled the stained glass windows. The restoration took place in his workshop: complete creation of the central stained glass window, stripping and cleaning of the stained glass windows, replacement of broken painted glass, re-leading, puttying of the stained glass windows on both sides for better insulation and replacement of the stained glass windows with lime sealing. The total cost of the operation is €8,783 financed by the Friends of Heritage association thanks to memberships, subsidies, donations and activities carried out with the aim of preserving local heritage.

The health of Alain Delon, 88, is now in the hands of French justice: weakened, the actor was placed under the regime of “judicial protection” for his medical monitoring, the main point of contention between his children.
The order dated January 25 from the guardianship judge notes that a “dissensus exists between Alain Delon’s three children” concerning his medical care.
“It is necessary, in view of the conflict surrounding the adult, that a judicial agent for the protection of adults, neutral and impartial, be designated to assist them,” adds the text.
In France, legal protection is a short-term protection measure (one year, renewable once), which allows an adult to be represented to carry out certain everyday acts.
The lawyer for the actor’s daughter, Anouchka, explained that his client “was pleased that the courts had appointed a representative and had taken up the difficulty”.
Since the beginning of January, the star’s three children have been waging a fratricidal war, through the media and justice, each swearing to want to protect the cinema legend, in declining health since a stroke in 2019.
Anouchka thus accuses her brothers of endangering the life of the actor of “La Piscine” and “Le Cheépard”, who has no longer taken treatment once morest this disease since his installation in the summer of 2023 in his estate in Douchy. She says she wants to take her father to Switzerland so that he can continue to receive treatment there.
On January 10, the lawyers of Alain Delon and his eldest son Anthony requested the “protection” of the cinema legend “for health reasons”, according to the Montargis prosecutor’s office. A medical assessment carried out by a doctor mandated by the public prosecutor was then carried out on January 13, according to these same lawyers.

The project of Elon Musk’s company, which aims to manufacture and market brain chips, obtained the green light from the American authorities in 2023 to test its brain implants on humans.
A historic first. On his social network X, Elon Musk announced that a human being received a Neuralink brain implant for the first time this Sunday, January 28. The billionaire indicates that this patient, whose identity has not been revealed, “is doing well” and that the first results are “promising”.
Neuralink is one of multiple companies created by Elon Musk. The boss of SpaceX and Tesla discreetly launched it in 2016, hoping to make brain implants.
In practice, Neuralink must design brain–computer interfaces that would allow remote equipment to be controlled simply by thinking.
The objective would be to restore mobility to paralyzed people by allowing them to interact with their environment or easily manipulate mechanical arms. Implants might also be a solution to neurological disorders, promises Neuralink.
The American Medicines Agency, the FDA, gave its authorization in May 2023 to Neuralink to set up a clinical trial on humans.
Despite the technological and scientific prowess that Neuralink represents, numerous criticisms have been leveled once morest the project. Because the company is the target of several investigations by American authorities, one of them for animal abuse.
Of at least 23 monkeys used for Neuralink experiments between 2017 and 2020, only 7 survivedaccording to a complaint filed in February 2022.
