東日本大震災で行方不明になっている人々の葬儀が、宮城県内の津波被災地などで相次いでいる。家族が自治体に不明者死亡届を提出する例も増えており、「『初盆』前に供養したい」との思いが背景にあるという。震災から４カ月半が経過し、行方不明者の家族たちが、気持ちに一区切りをつけようとしている。

今日午前３時５３分、福島県浜通りで震度５強の地震があり、都心もけっこう揺れました。私はちょうどその時刻 目が覚めていて、揺れを初めから感じていました。
揺れ出してから思うことはいつも同じで「これから揺れが大きくなるのか、おさまるのか」
揺れがおさまるの「おさまる」は、収まる、治まる、どちらでしょうか。 – Yahoo!知恵袋

二語で言えば収束するだから、「収」じゃない？

では揺れが激しくなったらどうするか、というとノー・アイデア。
３・１１のときは、落ちてくる本やＶＨＳテープを押さえるのがやっとで、逃げるという考えが浮かばなかった。そんなもんでしょう。
３・１１の行方不明者７１７３人（７月２日現在）。人体７１７３人分がおそらくは海の底に沈んでしまった。もちろん自衛隊・米軍に回収されたご遺体もあったでしょうが、悠長にＤＮＡ鑑定などする時間もなく荼毘に付されたものと思われます。そのへんの具体的な経緯はマスコミが意図して報じないので情報がありません。
ちょうどテレビ中継された湾岸戦争みたいなもので、完全に情報が管理されちゃってます。テレビでは一人の死体、あるいはその一部すら映されませんでした。

Dinah Shore with Henry Levine and his Dixieland Octet – Body And Soul（1941）
recorded in NYC September 9, 1941
This track was issued as one of eight in Victor’s third of four early-1940s album sets that featured cast members of NBC’s weekly program “The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street.” The tongue-in-cheek presentations of jazz, blues and Dixieland were performed by studio musicians led by Henry Levine and Paul Laval with vocals during the early seasons by Dinah Shore, Lena Horne and Linda Keene. Spoken introductions to the four instrumental tracks on this album are provided by Gene Hamilton. Wikipedia’s entry “The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street” has additional details about the program.
All eight of these individual album tracks are also available for continuous sequential listening in a single 25-minute video posted under the title “1941 full album: NBC’s Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street II”

A more lively treatment of the song hit from the 1930 Broadway revue “Three’s A Crowd.” Following Reisman’s attempts to come up with an acceptable “Body And Soul” during four previous recording sessions, this final ‘take #17’ was ultimately issued, but as the second of two different Reisman arrangements （featuring different vocalists） that Victor chose to release under the same record number.

２９日発行の米科学誌サイエンスに掲載された論文によると、世界人口は１９９９年に６０億人を記録してからわずか１２年で７０億人に到達する見通し。国連の予想では、２１００年には１０１億人まで増えるとされる。
ブルーム氏によれば、現在から２０５０年までの間に、１９５０年当時の世界人口と同じ２３億人が新たに加わる見通し。このうち９７％は途上国での増加で、特にアフリカが４９％を占める。同氏は、人口の分布を示す「重心」が先進国から途上国に移ることで、途上国が食料や水、住居、エネルギーなどの供給で苦労するだろうとの見通しを示した。

増えすぎた種は滅びる。
現実問題として、食えず、適正な医療も受けられなければ、生きてはいけない。
強欲で奪うばかりの先進国もその強欲さゆえ自ら滅びの途をひた歩んでいる。
人類が滅べば地球に正真正銘の自然が戻るだろう。
FacebookやMySpaceでの友達の数も、だいたいこの平均１５０人の範囲に収まり、２００人以上友達がいるという人はほんの一握りだという。
もちろん、人間にはさまざまな規模の集団があって、たとえば狩猟・採集社会では、３０～５０人程度の集団が形成される。一方で、部族全体の規模は５００～２５００人程度にもなるが、その中間に「クラン」（clan＝氏族）という集団がある。狩猟場や水源の共有などはクラン単位で行われ、これの統計的な平均は１５０人になるという。
こうした人のネットワークの規模は、３倍の数で同心円的に大きな集団になるとも論じられている。いちばん内側が３～５人の特に親しい友人で、何かあったらすぐ駆けつけてくれるような関係。それが段階を踏むに従って、５→１５→５０→１５０といった人数になる。

友達という特別なレベルの知り合いが私にはよく分かりません。
私は通りを横切る野良猫にも、何かの偶然や行きがかりで面と向かって話すことになるかもしれない天皇陛下にも、「やぁごきげんよう、お元気ですか。こんなとこにいちゃプルトニウム、ストロンチウムを吸い込んで長生きできませんよ。悪いことは言わない、すぐ逃げなさい」とまったく分け隔てなく同じ言葉を投げかける人間なので、赤の他人と友達との線引きをするということがありません。
もちろん与信ということでは、どこに住んでるとか、仕事は何をしてるといった情報で、考えることは当然ですが、赤の他人だから、友達だからということにはなりません。
あくまで個人 対 個人。
互いの個性・属性・背景をよく知ってるからといって友達ではないし、知らないから赤の他人というのでもない。また私と多く仕事をしたとか酒を飲んだとか家へ来た回数が多いとかといったことも、属性のひとつでしかありません。

Graham Bonney – Why Can’t We Be Friends（1965/11）
シングル “My Little World Is All Blue” のＢ面。
UK
Graham began his music career in the UK as a member of The Riot Squad in 1964. The next year he went solo and even had a hit in’66 with “Super Girl”. Later in the decade he relocated to Germany and found success with a string of German sung songs in the late 60’s and into the 70’s. Much of Mr. Bonney’s English material released on the Columbia label throughout the 60’s was overshadowed by the German releases. This is not to say these songs were in any way inferior to songs that became hits. Graham just struck a chord and found an audience in Germany.
Witness the song here which finds Mr. Bonney in fine voice with nice orchestration including an oboe, which is the instrument that always makes me swoon. Hard to believe this track was a B-side to his earliest release. The A-side “My Little World Is All Blue”, also written by Graham along with Barry Mason, is a nice track, I just prefer “Why Can’t We Be Friends”.

This and the flip side “How Sweet You Are” made up Jo’s very first solo-billed Capitol single. The original label credited the 1943 Warner Brothers drama “Old Acquaintance” （Bette Davis & Miriam Hopkins）, but IMDb does not indicate that it was heard in the film.
Sonny Kendis and his Stork Club Orchestra – My Buddy（1941）
vocal: Jimmy Saunders（shown as Sonny Saunders）
from the album “A Night At The Stork Club with Sonny Kendis”（1941） originally issued on 78rpm Columbia 36395
Vocal by Jimmy Saunders （shown as ‘Sonny Saunders’）. Gus Kahn and Walter Donaldson wrote this melancholy post-WWI ballad, with Henry Burr’s 1922 recording for Victor the most successful.
Track #7 of eight posted sides from the 1941 Columbia Records album set C-75 “A Night At The Stork Club,” dance arrangements of pre-1930 tunes conducted by Sonny Kendis, piano-playing leader of the small band at New York’s famed night spot The Stork Club. Though Kendis was given label credit on the original 78 discs, you’ll note that his name did not appear on the album’s cover or anywhere among the inside notes. It was prominently displayed, however, on Columbia’s later LP reissue…scans of which can be seen during the video. All eight of these individual album tracks are also available for continuous sequential listening in a single 21-minute video posted under the title “1941 full album: A Night At The Stork Club with Sonny Kendis.”

T. Dorsey Family（Mountain Branch） – Friendship（1940）
The Pied Pipers as “T. Dorsey Family（Mountain Branch）”
recorded in NYC June 26, 1940
Victor Records was having a bit of fun here, issuing this ‘hillbilly’ treatment of the Cole Porter song on the Bluebird 78 flip of the satirical Charlie Barnet ‘sweet bands’ send-up “The Wrong Idea”. Porter’s song from the stage musical “DuBarry Was A Lady,” starring Ethel Merman and Bert Lahr, was most-popularly recorded by the Kay Kyser band

Sing and Sweat with Charlie Barnet – The Wrong Idea（1939）
Charlie Barnet and his Orchestra
spoken intro by Barnet
vocal by Billy May
歌詞に
“Don’t plat it good, just play it cute
And make it rootie-tootie toot-toot
Doesn’t do any good to get hep
So swing and sweat with Charlie Barnet”
というくだりがある。
２度目の引用。
Swing and sweat with Charlie Barnet! While hardly a mainstream ‘hit record’ upon release, this satirical Billy May arrangement which openly ridicules the styles of various popular ‘Mickey Mouse’ or ‘sweet band’ orchestras of the time remains well-known to many long-time record collectors and fans of that musical era.
As for the title…the Barnet band had previously recorded the instrumentals “The Duke’s Idea” and “The Count’s Idea.” This particular session also yielded “The Right Idea.” Perhaps recorded as a joke not initially meant for public release, “The Wrong Idea” was eventually issued by Bluebird many months later in mid-1940.

vocal: Frank Hazzard
This 78rpm-issued vocal track was one of three versions of the sentimental ballad recorded by the Jones orchestra. An all-instrumental arrangement from the same session date as this post remained unissued for decades but is the one most commonly found. And the song was included as part of a medley on the RCA program transcription disc （10-inch LP） “Popular Selections,” .

with vocal trio（Smith Ballew +2）
“For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow”を引用。
This and the flip side “Bigger And Better Than Ever” were songs from the 1929 edition of the “George White’s Scandals” revue （161 performances）.
‘Ted Wallace’ was one of the pseudonyms used on record by bandleader-vocalist-organizer Wallace T. “Ed” Kirkeby, who is also remembered as manager of the California Ramblers and Fats Waller.
Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra – Little Pal（1929）
vocal: Bing Crosby
recorded in NYC April 25, 1929
A much more bright-spirited treatment of the tune which was popularized by Al Jolson as an over-the-top weeper on record and in his 1929 film “Say It With Songs.”
Al Jolson – Little Pal（1929）
orchestra conducted by Louis Silvers
pal＝友だち、友人、相棒
Was he serious? Jolson’s over-the-top weeper was an obvious attempt to repeat the huge success of his recent “Sonny Boy” hit. This one was featured in Al’s 1929 musical screen drama “Say It With Songs,” as was the brighter 78 flip side “I’m In Seventh Heaven”. For the Paul Whiteman/Bing Crosby version of “Little Pal,”

第一次大戦で戦死した男の魂が子供時代の遊び仲間や横丁を懐かしんでいる、あるいは一人生き残って帰還した男が往時を偲んでいるかのような、そういう切ない内容。
Best-selling treatment of this touching 1923 song hit.

Irving Kaufman and the Columbia Quartette – Hail! Hail! The Gang’s All Here（1918）
“For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow”という俗謡が引用されている。
released in early 1918
This familiar chant was a lyrical adaptation of a melody from Arthur Sullivan’s comic opera “The Pirates Of Penzance”; and the accompanying vocal group heard here would soon change its name on most recordings to the more commonly-recognized Peerless Quartet.

親友は遠い地にいる人ほど心強く有益なアドバイスをしてくれる。近くの親友とは頻繁に会うせいか馴れあいに陥り利害関係になりやすい。親友であってもお互いに踏み込んではならない一線があり、それを弁えない親友関係はいつか崩れる。

悩んでいる学生に言いたいけど、友達が少ないとか友達ができなくたって、後の人生で別に困らない。そもそも人生では学生時代が特殊。俺だって学生時代の友達なんて普段全く付き合いない。友達が少なくたって別に君に落ち度があるわけじゃない。大人の方が手を伸ばせば必要な人に出会える。安心してくれ

ペンパルの「パル」などに見られる英語のpal「友達」はロマ語から英語に入ったもので、更にサンスクリットのbhrā́tṛ「兄弟、友達」に遡れます。
またbhrā́tṛは英語のbrother「兄弟」やラテン語のfrater「兄弟」と語源が同じなので、英語のpalとbrotherとfraternal「兄弟の」は同じ源に遡れます。— ラテン語さん (@latina_sama) September 13, 2023
