Jean Augé dit P'tit Jeannot, né le  à Marnia, en Algérie et mort assassiné le  à Caluire-et-Cuire, en France, est un malfaiteur français. Il doit son surnom « P'tit Jeannot » à sa relative petite taille ().

Biographie
Collaborateur au début de l'occupation allemande, il tue un jour deux Allemands dans un bar. D'autres sources mentionnent qu'il a joué un rôle actif au sein de la Résistance dans la région de Grenoble. Jean Augé est réputé être un membre influent du milieu lyonnais dans les années 1960. Associé dans divers boîtes de nuit de la région lyonnaise, il aurait aussi dirigé une équipe de racket et contrôlé une entreprise de placement de machines à sous.

Selon certaines sources, il aurait été un « barbouze tortionnaire » durant la guerre d'Algérie ou aurait fait partie du Service d'action civique. Cependant selon Pierre Debizet, secrétaire général du Service de 1969 à 1982, Augé n'a jamais fait partie du SAC. Lucien Bitterlin, qui organisa l'action des « barbouzes » en Algérie entre novembre 1961 et mars 1962, dément également l'appartenance de Jean Augé à son équipe.

Dans son rapport publié en 1982, la Commission d'enquête parlementaire sur le SAC cite un arrêt de la Cour d'appel de Lyon du 16 septembre 1965 selon lequel Augé a effectué en 1961 une mission en Algérie pour le compte de la Sécurité militaire.

Celui qui était considéré comme le parrain du milieu lyonnais est abattu de plusieurs balles le  à Caluire-et-Cuire ; le commanditaire de son exécution serait le Gang des Lyonnais dont l'influence se faisait de plus en plus grande, au début des années 1970 au sein du grand banditisme lyonnais.

Filmographie

 L'acteur Olivier Rabourdin a interprété son personnage dans le téléfilm sorti en 2005, S.A.C., des hommes dans l'ombre de Thomas Vincent.

 L'acteur Laurent Richard a interprété son personnage dans le film sorti en 2011, Les Lyonnais d'Olivier Marchal. Dans celui-ci, Jean Augé est assassiné devant la Cathédrale Saint-Jean, et non à Caluire-et-Cuire.

Helping Wounded Veterans Feel Whole Again
Over the weekend I had the opportunity to visit the annual car show and open house of Warfighter Made in Temecula. The non-profit started around 2015 retrofitting trucks, cars, and off-road vehicles so veterans who lost limbs in combat could drive their personal vehicles. I was told the Veterans Administration covers the cost of a special minivan but as co-founder Rob Blanton says, "It's bad enough a 19-year-old Marine lost both of his legs in combat, now he's relegated to driving a minivan? Not on my watch!"
Blanton says in addition to doing the retrofitting, or adaptive enhancements, Warfighter Made has an off-roading team that competes at races around the country and Mexico. Blanton says this is all part of the ongoing therapy to help catastrophically wounded veterans cope with their loss, their depression, and reintegrate into some sort of normalcy.
The focal point of the charity is a small garage nestled in a corporate park in Temecula. Blanton says he's trying to get some support to move to a larger location which would expand the garage, greatly increasing the number of veterans the group can help.
On Saturday afternoon, Wallace Fanene was given an off-road vehicle with modified safety features. Fanene lost his right arm and right leg in combat and has become adept at driving vehicles with his 2 remaining limbs. Fanene was gracious but shy about the gift. He told me he plans to use the ATV to move around his large property in Temecula. The ATV was donated by Polaris which has become a loyal supporter of Warfighter Made. The company donates a vehicle every year, Warfighter Made modifies it to fit the needs of the recipient.
A committee meets regularly to determine who will receive a new ATV or have their personal vehicle modified. A veteran must meet certain criteria and there's no cost for the modifications.
Danny Novoa was one of the first to receive help from Warfighter Made. Novoa was severely injured by a roadside bomb in Fallujah and almost lost both legs. He suffers from brain seizures, has all fake teeth, and is blind in one eye. Now, Novoa is the shop foreman and helps teach others how to work on engines and be a part of the process. Novoa told me about a veteran who, prior to losing both legs in combat, was a competitive dirt bike racer. Warfighter Made adapted the man's motorcycle so he can now ride it using his hands to upshift, downshift and brake.
Co-founder Rob Blanton says the annual budget for Warfighter Made is around $200,000, and they only have one employee to handle administrative duties. Everyone else associated with the organization donates their time. And the number of vehicles modified per year depends on the funding available.

Joseph Goebbels writes a play and the rent-seeking intellectual elite
April 1, 2022 camillerimark Blog Posts 3
Having worked in the culture and the publishing industry most of my life I know very well that it is one of the least meritocratic industries. Unlike utilities, the value of cultural products is not measured by their utility but rather by relative to ideological factors (ideological in the broad philosophical term and not strictly political). For example, what gets published by a big editorial house is a selection chosen by a trusted agent. Apart from the theoretical difficulty of finding the best texts available amongst the thousands of texts written every year, there is also the practical reality of personal biases which may often be subject to rent-seeking and this can vary from bribes, personal preferences, intimacy and sometimes to even outright abuse.
In Malta, a very large number of the intellectual elite are the intellectual elite only because they are rent-seekers and these are often promoted by political parties in government. During the rent-seeking boom of Joseph Muscat, Joseph sought to award the intellectuals who backed him. I was one of them yet I contented myself with having the power to change laws and develop the book industry without going to the trouble of an election. Others contended with building careers through government subsidies and careers at the University of Malta such as Carmen Sammut.
One of the artists who received patronage and support from the Joseph Muscat administration was Mario Philip Azzopardi who was appointed as artistic director to the European Capital City of Culture (aka Valletta 18) and was responsible for funds which implement a host of his vane artistic projects such as Pageant of the Seas and others. Today, Mario Philip Azzopardi is promoting a play he wrote and directed which is basically a direct attack on Daphne Caruana Galizia. Manuel Delia has leaked its script and the story reads like a callous and hateful attack full of lies and misquotations. He calls it satire. Satire is usually about people in power and not journalists who have been murdered by a criminal association that was entrenched in the State. This is the Orwellian equivalent of having Goebbels conjuring up hateful stories about Jews. Apparently, Manoel Theatre, the national theater of Malta had no problem hosting this play. The government pays hundreds of thousands of Euros a year to artistic directors, consultants and whatnot and apparently no one had the gall to tell that Mario Philio Azzopardi's play is a hateful piece of trash that he should host himself. Well,of course they wouldn't. Malta's public cultural apparatus is basically controlled by politically-appointed idiots. In Mario Philip Azzopardi's case, he's not only a failed artist and a total idiot (some people in Malta seem to have a very distorted idea of what a successful artist is), he's also a desperate servant who is always going the extra mile to publicly exhibit his loyalty to his masters.
Mario Philip Azzopardi was never involved in politics until Joseph Muscat came along and promised him manna from heaven. Instead of retiring into oblivion, he found a new life thanks to the platform that Joseph Muscat gave him. Mario is only producing vile propaganda against a murdered adversary of the Labour Party out of his overzealous enthusiasm to publicly show his loyalty to Labour. Prior to Muscat coming into power, Mario never made any high-powered political remarks in his life. Then what changed? Nothing changed other than that he was promised gifts and gifts were given to him. Mario is a really big piece of shit. Probably one of the worst specimens of humankind, being the kind of subservient criminals dictators like Stalin would use to do their dirty work, only to have them killed later on. Like one of Stalin's figurative chickens. Really, Mario is a hallow, vile and worthless piece of shit. From superstar artist to Labour's artistic consultant. More like from a failed artist in Canada to a dirty political propagandist in the arts.
Despite the fact that Mario Philip Azzopardi seems to be the most callous of Labour's intellectual elite, most of them share his callousness, only they articulate it more eloquently. Such as when Carmen Sammut diminished Daphne Caruana Galizia's legacy in a peer-reviewed journal. There are many others. Or the executive chairman of the National Book Council taunting other authors publicly. They are today's intellectual rent-seeking elite supported by politicians like Owen Bonnici who has been appointed Culture Minister once again. He will be working once again with pro-Labour artist Albert Marshall (head of the Arts Council) and many others he had patronised already as well. There are many more members of this intellectual rent-seeking circle of friends, however, Phds may often deceive. For example, The Shift didn't get the full angle to the story when they wrote about an Arts Council executive in New York – they missed the part where she is actually the cousin of Joseph Muscat. She is also the wife of John Baldacchino shown here. These artists who are supported by the Labour government have all one thing in common in their behaviour: they are always uncritical towards Labour, silent towards the abuses made on their colleagues and are mostly ingratiating to Labour at different opportunities. They are not really intellectuals. They are more like propagandists who write and do whatever their masters expect of them and if they do something independently it will surely and never step out of the boundaries prescribed by their masters.
I didn't get to stay on as a cultural executive with the government because I didn't play and act on this script. I was the first government executive who celebrated Daphne Caruana Galizia when none other of my colleagues in the cultural entities wanted to go there. Looking back, I have great satisfaction I was never part of this rent-seeking crowd. And I selfishly feel vindicated seeing the fascist callousness of Mario Philip Azzopardi. There was once an article about Desmond Zammit Marmara complaining that Labour intellectuals don't have any influence in the Party. Thank God for that. Labour's intellectuals are a band of desperate rent-seekers who can be as vile and contemptible as the criminals who murdered Daphne herself. Indeed, these rent-seeking idiots not only kept silent about Daphne's murder, but some like Carmen and Mario opted to use their work to denigrate her further and tarnish her legacy against corruption.
With the re-appointment of Owen Bonnici as Culture Minister the government has once again set an agenda to support our rent-seeking cultural elite. As Justice Minister, Bonnici was crucial to cover up for Joseph Muscat and his cronies through the Attorney-General apart from having been found by the Court to have violated human rights by ordering the removal of Daphne's memorial in front of the law courts. Owen is an ideal useful tool to continue the rent-seeking legacy in the government cultural entities, He has also evaded the limelight of the press over his shady role in Joseph Muscat's administration as Minister of Justice, so unlike Edward Żammit Lewis he can get a pass from the Prime Minister. Meanwhile, Mario Philip Azzopardi timed his play perfectly well according to his vile plan. His hateful play comes just right after the elections as a celebratory gesture to Labour's victory in the election. Owen is going to be proud of Mario's work and just as he defended Jason Micallef's diatribes against Daphne after she was murdered (V18 Chairman and technically, Mario's boss) I'm sure he is going to invoke the same argument of "free speech". Well, most of it is fraud. Pro-Labour propaganda that is depicted as academia or art and it's all sponsored by the rent-seeking regime.

I've always had an inclination for helping others, whether it is lending a hand, comforting and listening to a friend, or even just putting a smile on someone's face, which are some of the reasons why I believe that pursuing optometry can allow me to help out the greater community. Optometrists have an important role by diagnosing eye diseases, easing people into the transition of wearing glasses or contacts, and also providing the opportunity for patients to see the world much more clearly, through all sorts of lenses. For these reasons, I truly admire the profession and various ways optometrists are able to provide for their patients. I do recommend shadowing a local optometrist or working for one at their office. Most are happy to help and are genuinely interested in exposing you to the optometric field.
I grew up in a family of medical professionals and have always enjoyed hearing their stories. When I was younger I would shadow my father in his GI office and I just found the medical profession to be so interesting. I also was able to watch a general surgeon hold intestines in his hand and I thought it was so cool! I love how in the medical profession you can always help other people and learn something new every day. Although it is a long and grueling path, the reward in the end is so worth it! As Dr. Shepard said, "It's a beautiful day to save lives!".
I chose to pursue medicine as a career path because it encompasses helping others, science, problem-solving, hands-on work, mentoring, and so much more into a unique, evolving job. My advice to those pursuing a similar career is to be open-minded about your journey. It's okay to have a plan but don't worry or be surprised if that plan changes once (or 10 times) before you reach your goal. If medicine is something you want, work hard, reach out for help, and never give up!
Science was always intriguing to me, and as I continued exploring potential career opportunities throughout high school and college, my experiences volunteering and shadowing pushed me towards a career in medicine. Speaking to doctors through physician dinners and scribing for a retina specialist showed me how unique and challenging the career was - here was an opportunity to devote my life to serving others, while constantly being challenged and learning more through every patient experience. Medicine as a career path is very challenging and takes true passion and hard work to pursue. My advice to students pursuing pre-health is to pursue every opportunity to learn more about a career in health, but also relax and enjoy the college experience. College is the last opportunity to explore new interests, and figure out who you are and what you want your life to be about.
Since childhood, I have been drawn to the sciences and medicine in particular. Through shadowing, extracurricular activities, coursework, and conversation, I've found that the life of a health professional—more specifically, a psychiatrist—best suits my academic interests and skillset. With mental health concerns on the rise, I expect that careers in this field will increase in demand and prove rewarding to those who can make a positive contribution to the cause. My advice to fellow pre-health students is to try your best to focus on your own path; it's all too easy to find yourself caught up in the competitive atmosphere of this track. Make sure to explore genuine interests and hobbies of yours instead of approaching your pre-health life as a mere checklist. Wahoowa!
I'm working towards becoming a Cardiologist, and more specifically I'm interested in intensive cardiac rehab, which is a holistic approach to the treatment of coronary artery disease that involves diet, exercise and stress relief. As an avid runner, I'm passionate about the role lifestyle choices play in our health, and I hope to advance the practice of lifestyle medicine with the aim of reducing healthcare costs in America. I encourage incoming pre-health students to focus on finding a field that allows them to meld their interest in medicine with their other passions in life. It'll make the course material more interesting and provide a light at the end of the very long tunnel that is the pre-health track.
I am pursuing a health professional career in nursing because I am attracted to patient-centered care and a valued patient-caretaker relationship. I would highly recommend to aspiring pre-health students to shadow a person in their position of interest to gain a greater understanding of day-to-day life for each of these specialties. I also recommend participating in medical mission trips, such as Global Medical & Dental Brigades, and/or studying abroad at some point in their undergraduate career. Overall, search for different perspectives and lenses to view the field from, and appreciate the diverse methods and approaches of altruistic care.
I choose to go into medicine because it is a combination of the humanities and sciences on a daily basis, both of which I am incredibly passionate about. With a career in medicine, I can interact with different personalities and cultures while making a substantial impact on individuals' health through my knowledge and training. Medicine is unique because it is related to every facet of life, including but not limited to education, family life, and mental health. I would like to be a confidant, a resource, and a guide to my patients in order to help them live a healthier and well-balanced life.
I came into college undecided and unsure of what I wanted to study. But after various experiences such as shadowing, attending medical student and physician panels, and talking with mentors, I decided to pursue the field of medicine. It's definitely a mental, physical, financial, and emotional commitment.But at the end of the day, when you are able to help people when they need it the most, when they are looking to you as their last hope, I think that makes the journey all worth it. I would recommend going out there to obtain as much experience as you can to see if medicine is truly what you wish to do! And don't be afraid to ask questions about anything and everything, you'd be surprised how willing people are to share and to give advice!
I am interested in becoming a Physician Assistant because I love the flexibility that it offers. I like that the PA profession allows you to practice medicine and still have the option to change specialties and explore new fields. I knew from a young age that I wanted to pursue a career in medicine and after researching my options, I decided that PA school would give me the most freedom to enjoy life outside of my job and still practice what I love. Even though the path to any career in the medical field is long and difficult, if you keep your end goal in mind and stay focused, it will all pay off in the end.
I have always had a deep-rooted curiosity towards the complexity of the human body, which sparked my initial interest in physical therapy. Spending some time volunteering at a PT clinic after my first year allowed for me to gain more insight into what the practice involves. I decided to continue in this direction after seeing how PTs treat patients with a wide array of physical injuries or conditions through devoted, personal interaction and a foundational knowledge of human movement and function. I admire how they, quite literally, help individuals to get back on their feet. I also value how their job encompasses that of a pain-reliever, problem-solver, educator, and more. Since then, I have had the opportunity to work with different populations, including underserved populations such as individuals with disabilities, in various healthcare settings, further solidifying my desire to pursue PT. One of the most important things I have learned is that while several individuals may have the same exact injury or condition, they could be going through completely different experiences based on their circumstances. My advice to those pursuing any career in healthcare is to allow your experiences to help you understand what people are going through from their perspective.
I am pursuing a health professional career because I have a passion for both science and meeting new people. I chose dentistry more specifically because the dental field not only presents a unique technical challenge, but also allows doctors to form life-long relationships with their patients. With ever-changing techniques and technological advancements, dentistry is a career that truly entails life-long learning. My advice to those interested in dentistry is to begin shadowing; there is no substitute for first-hand experience. UVA offers numerous shadowing opportunities through Madison House, the Hospital, the Charlottesville Free Dental Clinic, and Pre-Dental Society.
I've always loved animals. Combined with my interest in science, veterinary medicine was the natural path to follow. Animals are crucial for society as livestock, labor, and companions. Helping and advocating for these intelligent but otherwise speechless creatures and their owners is so rewarding. I'm interested in small animal surgery and humane stray population management. My advice to other students is to choose a career you will actually enjoy. Try it out as well! As much as I wish it was, veterinary medicine is not just "playing with puppies" --- there's so much more that goes into animal healthcare. Shadowing and working in the field will help you understand realities of the work and allow you to determine if it's something you'll love.
My interest in the medical profession ultimately stemmed from being a premature baby, being born almost two months early. After exploring other career paths, I knew that medicine was the truest fit for me. As a lover of science and the intricacy of the human body, medicine is the only career path that allows me to continue to pursue this passion. In the future, I hope to either work in either obstetrics or sports medicine.
Pursuing a career in health combines both my interests in the sciences and also motivates me in my desire to help others. Being pre-health, while often seen as a very rigid health track, still manages to give me to explore my interests and do work with public policy, allowing me to have my time in the lab, but also have time with active engagement in healthcare policy reform. Words of Wisdom for other students pursuing the same path: Being pre-health does not, and should not, mean you need to be dropping all non-science related interests and hobbies! You just have to have the drive to find a balance between your work and your hobbies, and make time for the things you enjoy to do!
I hope to pursue a medical degree in Ob/Gyn while also working towards my Masters of Public Health. I believe that a career in medicine enables me to serve others in a practical and meaningful way. I love that medicine takes into consideration the whole person—their history, environment, relationships, etc. As such, I think the interplay between the public health field and the clinical field will become more and more crucial in the developing world. Throughout my time at UVA, I've learned that the most important component of being a successful pre-med student is critical reflection.
I have always had thoughts of going into medicine, from my first intention of becoming an orthodontist to now my interest in surgery. The main pull to the health field for me is the ability to make an impact every single day. It could be the smallest thing of just making someone feel more comfortable in a tough medical environment to actually saving a life. I think the body is an amazing thing, and we have not even touched the cusp of what the human brain and body is capable of; as a result, I think medicine is the path to discovering more knowledge on how to unlock the brilliance of our minds and body. I am specifically interested in surgery because it is procedure-based medicine that provides instant resolve for the patient. I changed my path after shadowing an orthopedic surgeon for one day, and now continue to discover differing interests in medicine. I most recently found a passion in neuroscience, after taking one introductory class. I think the biggest tip I have for other students is to get out there and gain experience in all different fields of medicine, whether it be acupuncture, surgery, family care, or even restorative yoga. There are so many different paths to follow, you just need to find the one that inspires you!
My experiences as a volunteer at the UVA hospital and my involvement in undergraduate research have inspired me to pursue a medical career. As a volunteer, I have been exposed to direct contact with patients in the health system and have gained a unique perspective on how the hospital works, especially "behind-the-scenes." My research experiences have given me an appreciation for the time and effort it takes to make advances in medicine. Together, these experiences have given me an awareness of the numerous ways in which technology can impact public health, helping both solidify and guide my passion for medicine.
I found interest in the medical field due to my experiences shadowing and volunteering in various clinics and hospitals. However, when I became an UVA medical scribe, I knew for sure this is what I wanted to do with my life and desired the opportunity to help people on a daily basis. Pre-med is not an easy track: classes are tough, the workload is intense and free time is limited. Working as a scribe allows me to be surrounded by medical students, residents and attending doctors at all times and reminds me why I want to pursue this field which makes the hard work worth it.
After volunteering and scribing at the hospital, I learned that it's the perfect place for me as I work well in its challenging, fast-paced environment. I love listening to each patient's story to understand the unique circumstances prompting the patient's visit to the Emergency Department. Furthermore, treating a patient involves receiving different perspectives from many specialties, and I love working as a team to determine the best course of treatment for a patient.
I am passionate about helping others, motivating teams towards accomplishing their goals, and fostering sustainability within my personal life and the work I perform with others. This year on the Board, I am serving as the voice for UVA pre-pharmacy students. I hope to create and foster a sense of community among our current pre-pharmacy students, including non Pre-Pharmacy Society members, and UVA alumni pursuing careers in pharmacy. For any profession—pharmacy, pre-health, and others—knowing that you can connect with other people who either have been in or are currently in your shoes feels really empowering. Whether you have the ability to reach out to alumni who can provide their words of wisdom or fellow students who know the ins and outs of how to pass difficult, required courses, you know that here at UVA you have access to wonderful, brilliant people who are willing to help you. As an introvert, I have had moments where I felt like I was the only person supporting myself and my career goals, especially during my first year. I recognized my problem and started stepping out of my comfort zone by opening up to my pre-health peers, advisors, and professors. Utilizing that support network took a great deal of stress off my shoulders, because I found people who could empathize with my problems, provide useful resources and advice, and are willing to work with me on improving my academic performance or resume. Fostering a community of peers and advisors provides individuals a safe space for them to feel welcome, receive support, and provide support for their fellow community members.
As a little girl, I remember thinking very highly of and being inspired by my pediatrician. In essence she had all the information and solutions to whatever health problem I brought her way and this is what ultimately fueled my drive to be like her. As I continue to grow throughout the years I have come to realize that a passion of mine is learning how to help others as my pediatrician was able to do for me.

RAYGUN FX Super Fuzz Boy is a thick fuzz housed in an old Nintendo Game Boy original shell! It even comes with a fake Game Boy cartridge, see picture in the gallery.
Soft style foot switch – soft touch, non clicking switch, nicer to stomp!
New Screen – A Screen printed PCB now used as the Fuzz Boy's face.
Originally made as a one-off for fun, then after receiving so many emails about it, RaygunFX decided to offer them for a limited time in short runs!
For Guitar, Bass, keyboard and anything else!
* Please note that it is normal for the screens on these to have surface scratches as they are re-cycled cases.
This is an older video, but you'll get the idea!
