Zakhor. Al Tichkah! Remember. Never forget! Aminteşte-ţi. Nu uita niciodată! Souviens-toi. N’oublie jamais!

Aşa îşi încheie preşedintele Franţei, Jacques Chirac, discursul în volumul Tatianei de Rosnay, cu ocazia comemorării victimelor de la Vel’ d’Hiv. Sarah’s Key (Se numea Sarah) aduce în discuţie o pagină neagră din istoria acestei ţări. Razia de la Vel’ d’Hiv a avut loc pe 16 şi 17 iulie 1942 şi a fost ordonată de către ocupaţia nazistă, rezultatul fiind arestarea a peste 13 000 de evrei (din care ~4000 copii). Ordinele au fost duse la bun sfârşit de către poliţia franceză cu exces de zel. Deşi se ceruse arestarea “doar” a persoanelor cu vârste cuprinse între 16 şi 50, au fost ridicaţi şi mulţi copii mai mici care nu şi-au mai revăzut niciodată familiile. Majoritatea celor arestaţi au fost duşi într-un velodrom (Vélodrome d’Hiver – Vel’ d’Hiv) sau în lagărul de la Drancy, pentru a fi încărcaţi în vagoane şi trimişi la Auschwitz pentru exterminare. Vel’ d’Hiv avea un acoperiş de sticlă, ceea ce a dus la creşterea intensă temperaturii, iar toaletele erau insuficiente. Cei care au încercat să fugă au fost împuşcaţi, unii s-au sinucis, iar ceilalţi aveau resurse limitate de hrană şi apă pentru a supravieţui.

Naraţiunea merge pe două planuri: primul prezintă arestarea unei familii de evrei în timpul raziei şi urmăreşte drumul acestora prin Vel’ d’Hiv, deportarea în lagăr, despărţirea familiei şi destinul fetiţei Sarah. În timpul raziei, aceasta îşi ascunde fratele de patru ani într-un compartiment secret al unui dulap, hotărâtă fiind să se întoarcă după el în doar câteva ore. Cel de-al doilea plan are acţiunea plasată în 2002, când jurnalista Julia Ormond, o americană stabilită la Paris, primeşte sarcina de a scrie un articol despre razia de la Vel’ d’Hiv. Ea este afectată de informaţiile pe care le descoperă în timpul investigaţiei, iar insistenţa ei trezeşte amintiri uitate şi secrete dureroase. (rezumat preluat din www.bookblog.ro)

Linux Mint 12 Preview

As you can see it’s a mix of old and new. It’s a brand new desktop but with traditional components. We’re excited about the new technology but it’s important everyone feels at home. So a Mint desktop looks and behaves like a Mint desktop and this one feels both like Gnome 3 and the traditional Linux Mint desktops that preceded it. You can launch applications from the top left, easily switch between applications and workspaces using the window list or keyboard shortcuts, keep an eye on your notifications at the top and access Gnome 3 features like “activities” from the top-left corner.

From the crossroads of Highways 61 and 49, and the platform of the Clarksdale Railway Station, the blues headed north to Beale Street in Memphis. The blues have strongly influenced almost all popular music including jazz, country, and rock and roll and continues to help shape music worldwide.

The Blues… it’s 12-bar, bent-note melody is the anthem of a race, bonding itself together with cries of shared self victimization. Bad luck and trouble are always present in the Blues, and always the result of others, pressing upon unfortunate and down trodden poor souls, yearning to be free from life’s’ troubles. Relentless rhythms repeat the chants of sorrow, and the pity of a lost soul many times over. This is the Blues.

The blues form was first popularized about 1911-14 by the black composer W.C. Handy (1873-1958). However, the poetic and musical form of the blues first crystallized around 1910 and gained popularity through the publication of Handy’s “Memphis Blues” (1912) and “St. Louis Blues” (1914). Instrumental blues had been recorded as early as 1913. During the twenties, the blues became a national craze. Mamie Smith recorded the first vocal blues song, ‘Crazy Blues’ in 1920. The Blues influence on jazz brought it into the mainstream and made possible the records of blues singers like Bessie Smith and later, in the thirties, Billie Holiday

The Blues are the essence of the African American laborer, whose spirit is wed to these songs, reflecting his inner soul to all who will listen. Rhythm and Blues, is the cornerstone of all forms of African American music.

Many of Memphis’ best Blues artists left the city at the time, when Mayor “Boss” Crump shut down Beale Street to stop the prostitution, gambling, and cocaine trades, effectively eliminating the musicians, and entertainers’ jobs, as these businesses closed their doors. The Blues migrated to Chicago, where it became electrified, and Detroit.

In northern cities like Chicago and Detroit, during the later forties and early fifties, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker, Howlin’ Wolf, and Elmore James among others, played what was basically Mississippi Delta blues, backed by bass, drums, piano and occasionally harmonica, and began scoring national hits with blues songs. At about the same time, T-Bone Walker in Houston and B.B. King in Memphis were pioneering a style of guitar playing that combined jazz technique with the blues tonality and repertoire.

Meanwhile, back in Memphis, B.B. King invented the concept of lead guitar, now standard in today’s Rock bands. Bukka White (cousin to B.B. King), Leadbelly, and Son House, left Country Blues to create the sounds most of us think of today as traditional unamplified Blues.

Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup, Wyonnie Harris, and Big Mama Thorton wrote and preformed the songs that would make a young Elvis Presley world renown.

In the early nineteen-sixties, the urban bluesmen were “discovered” by young white American and European musicians. Many of these blues-based bands like the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Cream, Canned Heat, and Fleetwood Mac, brought the blues to young white audiences, something the black blues artists had been unable to do in America except through the purloined white cross-over covers of black rhythm and blues songs. Since the sixties, rock has undergone several blues revivals. Some rock guitarists, such as Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, and Eddie Van Halen have used the blues as a foundation for offshoot styles. While the originators like John Lee Hooker, Albert Collins and B.B. King–and their heirs Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, and later Eric Clapton and the late Roy Buchanan, among many others, continued to make fantastic music in the blues tradition. The latest generation of blues players like Robert Cray and the late Stevie Ray Vaughan, among others, as well as gracing the blues tradition with their incredible technicality, have drawn a new generation listeners to the blues.

Extrase importante (in opinia mea):

[...] Toata comunitatea traieste din cerseala….Cersim intr-un mod mai ‘camuflat’, asa… si TRAIM….de la mancare, pana la bani, si ceea ce e nevoie…

[...] Cea mai mare problema e constructia caselor….

[...] Sunt romani din afara care ajuta…nu mult, dar ajuta…si sunt si straini care ajuta, si e bine ca ajuta, numai ca ideea lor este ca noi n-avem haine….ori noi avem haine….noi n-avem ciment, usi, ferestre, fier-beton, lemne…adica bani pentru toate astea….

Statul pana acum nu ne ajuta…urmeaza, speram ca de acum urmeaza….

[...] Ajutorul nu trebuie sa aiba limite…

[...] Noi, datorita celor 14 ani de experienta, am constatat ca cei care ne dau, vin si ne mai dau, pentru ca ei insisi au constatat ca li s-au schimbat niste lucruri in viata lor, in familia lor, in firma lor, spre exemplu….si atunci, revin…sa zicem ca cei ce ne dau sunt destul de constanti…
[...] Noi putem multumi cu vorbe, insa Dumnezeu le rasplateste cu aspecte palpabile, dincolo de multumirea sufleteasca…

…ASA EXISTAM NOI…
