12月10日（土） Voice Trainingを始めてから、2回目のコンサートがありました。今年は「横浜人形の家ホール」でした。145席のこじんまりとした素敵なホールでした。（舞台照明はMarumo Electric社製でした！）
コンサートに先立ち、ウェブサイトの更新（といっても、製作者が不明のため、古い資料を使って新しく作りました。またプログラムも見やすく(?)しました。

10年？7～8年ぶりかな？ムンバイで日本語教室の先生をしているBipinさんとそのご一家にお会いしました。Bipinさんの娘さんRuchさんのお婿さんは研究熱心の知りたがり屋さんで、難しい時事問題を食事中に切り込んでくるので、おかしかったです。でも最後に「Thank you for your knowledge!」と言ってもらいました。（この英語表現、初めてきいたけど。それにしても早口で、インド訛りがちょっときつかった・・・・。
肝心のBipinさんとは席が離れていてあまりお話ができませんでした。残念。
一生に一度はインドへ行かなきゃ！！
「手づくり」といえばきれいだけど大慌ての会場整備、2スクリーンの映写もいまいち、でも大勢の参加者で私としては大成功だったと思う。混声合唱団の演奏がイベントを引き立てたし、展示も6社（団体）となり、多くの高校生や大学生の来訪があった。働く若い人の手際よさにも感動、と同時に自分の「老い」も自覚した日だった。
Simonがおとなしく見てたあと「あ～ぁ、長かった、やっと終わった！」と叫ぶハプニングもあったけど、みんなで私を助けてくれた，ありがと！

米国では大統領選が最終盤。Trump候補がまだ生き残っている。どうしてあんな人が・・・と多くの人が思っても、言わないでいるととんでもないことになることもある、だけど、必要な時に必要なことをいう人が現れる米国はまだましなのだろうか？Sacebookに私の友人から頻繁にポスティングされたミシェルさんのスピーチを追った。Guardianの女性記者のコメントは、「こんな公平な主張ができる人がわが国にいるだろうか？」と。あちらの記者さんも嘆く。
それにしてもオバマさんとの何という資質の差。これを多くの人が支持する・・・・。本当に恐怖、脅威だ。
Michelle Obama has dragged this US election out of the gutter
| Anne Perkins The Guardian
Donald Trump has sunk US politics in a grotesque mire of populism. But the first lady’s speech on respect for women captured the best of her country |
| Michelle Obama’s powerful rebuke to Trump’s ‘predatory behavior’ Michelle Obama may have done the seemingly impossible. She may just have rescued the US elections from the grotesque and demeaning mire into which they have descended. She did something even more remarkable, and just as badly needed.With the touch of a poet, her speech last night shamed the tat and the tawdry of populism and held out the possibility of something better. She lent her extraordinary ability to say what people are feeling to every English-speaking woman in the world.Nominally, she spoke for Hillary Clinton at a run-of-the-mill political rally. In fact she made a passionate and clear-eyed appeal for decency and respect in public life. Clinton’s Republican rival Donald Trump did not get a single mention, but he was in every word of every sentence. It was one of the most sustained put-downs in modern democratic politics.There have been many protests this week as Trump’s lewd bragging about sexually assaulting women finally registered in the Republican scale of shame. His campaign is floundering, at last. Obama’s contribution was not to add to the direct attacks on him. Instead, on behalf of American voters – women and girls, of course, but men and boys too – she gave a victim’s statement.The Trump tape, she said, had shaken her to her core.“I feel it so personally – and I’m sure you do too – particularly the women. (I love that “particularly”).“The shameful comments about our bodies.“The disrespect of our ambitions and our intellect.“The belief that you can do anything you want to a woman. “It’s cruel – it’s frightening – and the truth is it hurts.” This hits home in a way that a direct attack on the insolent, impervious figure of Trump himself does not. It appeals to people of every political persuasion. She pitches this attack as defence. A defence of humanity. She brings to it her extraordinary mix of talents. She can find words that make pictures. She brings passion and intellectual clarity. She has an actor’s sense of timing. This morning she seems the world’s most complete leader. On Monday, in the second debate between the presidential candidates, Clinton quoted Obama: “When they go low, we go high.” Great advice – a nightmare to follow. The first lady has found a way of doing it that avoids the elephant traps and the little snares. She has a graceful humanity. She looks normal. Glamorous, but in a normal kind of way. She sounds like a normal person, she uses the language of normal people and she expresses normal hopes and fears. As a wife and a mother, an American, a black woman – all these parts that make her who she is – she has a fine capacity to say what millions of women and men have been thinking since the Trump tape first came to light last weekend. It was hardly a surprise to hear her speak so well. Her speech introducing Clinton as the Democrat nominee to theparty’s convention in July revealed the exceptional talent that she has been nurturing over these past eight years. That was the speech where she reminded her listeners what could be done by collective effort. She talked of the “lash of bondage” and the “sting of servitude” and then described waking up every morning in the White House, “a house built by slaves” and watching her daughters, “two beautiful intelligent young black women” playing with their dogs: “and because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters, and all our sons and daughters, take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States”. Last night she talked of women doing what women have always done “just trying to get through it … trying to pretend this doesn’t really bother us”. She ended: “This is not normal, this is not politics as usual … this has got to stop right now.” When she speaks, Michelle Obama doesn’t stop being the wife of the president, but she transcends it. She becomes the personification of the best of her country. Perhaps there is something in the first lady status, in politics but not of it, that uniquely privileges the holder of the office. Who in Britain can make that nonpartisan appeal to ordinary human decency? Last night she spoke for everyone who thinks politics can be better than this. ＜Facebookより＞Sarah Prunier-Duparge liked this.

When you hear that soldiers in Sudan or Congo raped foreign women and their own, you simply wonder why there is such impunity… when you hear that the candidate for President to a nation like the US has done and said what he has to and about women, you wonder why over 40% of potential voters are still supporting him! Please put him in jail before he gets elected!”

Internetの威力をまざまざと見せつけられる瞬間があり、この記事もそのひとつ。York大学でクラスメイトだった、南スダーンから来たでっかい、優しい男Anthonyが、未だに紛争まっただ中の南スダーンで元気に笑っている（少なくとも今年の7月は！）
英国北部の寒さに震えながら、愛する祖国の平和のためと、その博識を武器に明るくクラスのみんなを勇気づけていた。
教室での発言ではいつも、どんな短い発言でも必ず「In my country South Sudan」と枕詞のように、しかも話題を変えるたびにこのフレーズを入れるので、クラスメイトは、「わかったよ、そンだけ南スダーンを愛してるんだね」と、みんな笑いながら受けいれ（我慢し?）たものだ。Anthonyには、皆にそれを受け入れさせるほどの根拠、情熱と祖国への愛があった。
July 27, 2016 (JUBA) – South Sudan ruling SPLM party has nominated former transport minister Anthony Lino Makana as speaker of the Transitional National Legislative Assembly (TNLA), breaking an impasse that has delayed reconstituting the oversight監視, 監督body of the government.

Sources in the meeting said the First Vice President Taban Deng Gai has accepted to nominate deputy speaker.
Oliver Benjamin, the head of information in the national parliament, said a special session to formally select the speaker in parliament will be convened on Monday.
“All members of parliament have been recalled to Juba to be able to attend on Monday August 1, 2016,” he said by phone on Wednesday.
According to the August 2015 Agreement for Resolution of Conflict in the Republic, the current parliament with 332 MPs will be expanded to 400. The SPLM IO nominated new 50 legislators, 1 from former detainees and 17 from other political parties.
Disagreement over which party to nominate the speaker stalled expansion of the parliament and commencing始める the TNLA.

South Sudan markets in Juba reopen after abrupt closure

Interior Minister Michael Chienyjiek issued a statement dismissing the allegation, describing them as rumours circulated by “criminals to use it as the opportunity to loot.
“Stay calm, and carry on normally. There should no fear. The president had already come out yesterday and you saw him touring the whole town yesterday. This was to confirm to the public that he is alive. What happened was another social media hoax”, said Chienyjiek
He commended various markets in Juba which resumed activities on Wednesday evening after few hours of abrupt closure. Traders and hawkers who had run away from custom market have resumed since 5.00 PM local time yesterday and were selling their goods normally.
Several markets such as Konyokonyo, Jebel and Juba markets have also resumed operation according to sources. Many residents claimed the run from market on Wednesday after some running without asking the cause. Others attributed the cause to a crackdown on money exchangers by the police.
“I have resumed work normally today. Yesterday my shop was closed because there was confusion allover. Some people were running unnecessarily. If you ask, no one would give a definite answer, Deng Mawien, a trader in Malakia market told Sudan Tribune on Thursday.
But while others were running due to fear stemming from rumours about the death of the president, others were running away from police measures banning money changers on the street in fulfillment of municipality order.
Police force launched an operation to crack down on U.S. dollar hawkers, causing them to flee the market. No gun shot was fired by the police when the police carried out the operation.
Earlier this year, Mayor of Juba City banned selling of U.S. dollars on the street of Juba, and ordered the police to crackdown on those selling dollars. Armed robbers attacked Konyokonyo market
SPLA Spokesperson Brig. Gen Lul Ruai Koang told journalists that people in Konyokonyo market fled when armed robbers attacked and robbed at gun point leading to the closure of the market yesterday,
He said that 3 robbers entered the market and started terrorizing people using pistols. Two of the robbers were apprehended and 1 is still at large. The two robbers, he said were later found to be foreign nationals.

6月24日（金）午後。 今年のコンサートはみなとみらいホール（小ホール）でした。
楽しみにしている友人のコンサート。この頃は舞台にも昔の友人が増え、観客席にも大学の時の友人が増えつつあるのがうれしいことです。
1年前ぐらいから初めて本格的（？）なVoice Trainingを受けた目と耳で聞くと、面白い発見もありました。やっぱり、発声の基本がしっかりしていることが一番大切だと・・・、改めて思いました。「口角を上げてネ」・・学生の頃誰よりも美しい声で歌っていた友人が、そう言っていました。そうか、いつでも原理は同じなんだ・・・。
それにしても観客席の大勢の元気な女性たち！！（中高年の女性ばかり） 私も立派にその一員です。
友人が撮ってくれた写真です。
いつも近所のフローリストさんに作ってもらう素敵なブーケ。今年はリボンも素敵でした。

このウェブサイトは、2003年ごろから少しずつ書きためたブログを、2009年に再編してつくったのですが、ウェブ環境の変化や私の技術・知識の（少しの）進歩に合わせて時々大幅な更新をしてきました。今年（2016年）5月の変更は主にホスティング会社の料金改定（10倍！）のため、有料サーバーを避け、今や標準仕様となりつつあるWordPressでの作成に変更したためです。
「変更した」といっても、私の知識と技術では、サイトを壊してしまうことはできても、更「新」することはとても無理で、幸い家族の中にいる“専門家”に丸投げ・神頼みで更新してもらいました。
もともと、5本ぐらいのinternet上のブログやDreamweaver、MovableTypeなどのソフトウェアを使って編集したサイトを繋げたため、大変な作業だったようです。その中で「あれ？あのページはどこへ？」 何度探しても見つからない、私自身が保存もしていなかったサイトが、この50周年記念コンサートのページでした。忘れないうちに、情報を拾い集めました。
