Last in Line

Neolog (Reformed) Synagogue, Horea Street, Cluj. The last one that is still actively serving the tiny Jewish community (of about 400?) that is still left in Cluj, as of today.

It was built based on the plans of Izidor Hegner, an engineer, between 1886 and 1887. Seriously affected after attacks by the Romanian extreme-right Iron Guard "Legionaries" on September 13, 1927, it was soon rebuilt by the Romanian government.

In the period following the Second Vienna Award, when Northern Transylvania became part of Hungary, it witnessed the Jews' deportation to Nazi extermination camps, and was damaged by the bombardments of the railway station nearby, on June 2, 1944. In 1951 it was again restored. It is currently dedicated to the memory of those deported who were victims of The Holocaust.

Today, there are two plaques on the frontispice, one in Romanian and one in Hebrew. The Romanian one says: "Acest sfint locas Templul Memorial al Deportatilor este inchinat amintirii evreilor din nordul Transilvaniei deportati in anul 1944 si exterminati de fascisti in lagarele mortii. Nu vom uita niciodata martirajul lor."

My quick translation: "This Holy house, The Memorial Temple of The Deportees is dedicated to the memory of the Jews from Northern Transylvania deported in 1944 and exterminated by the fascists in death camps. We will never forget their martirage."

Historical records state that between the two world wars there used to be five synagogues and at least ten Jewish prayer houses in Cluj. With a communitiy of more than fifteen thousand, that's a quite possible figure, I reckon. I've photographed the only two that I know of, or possibly the last two standing? If anyone knows about other possible locations, I could go look them up, just let me know. To date, my only source of information is the Internet, where I find diverse but scattered pieces of information about the former Jewish community of Cluj.

Before World War II, there used to be a strong 13-15% Jewish minority in Cluj / Klausenburg / ?????????? / Kloiznburg / Kolozsvar / (etc.). After the Germans occupied Hungary in March 1944 and installed a puppet government under Dome Sztojay there, large-scale antisemitic measures were taken in the city. The headquarters of the local Gestapo were located in the New York Hotel (later renamed "Continental")

The Kolozsvar Ghetto was one of the lesser-known Jewish ghettos of the World War II era. The ghettoization of the Cluj Jews began on 3 May 1944. The ghettoization was completed within a week. This was less than two months after the Germans launched Operation Margarethe, on 19 March. Operation Margarethe was the operation by which the German Army (Wehrmacht) placed Hungary under a puppet government.

The Jews were concentrated in the Iris brickyard in the northern part of the city. This area consisted mostly of shacks used for drying bricks and tiles. The ghetto had practically no facilities for the approximately eighteen thousand Jews who were assembled there from Cluj and the surrounding Cluj County. The concentration of the Jews was carried out by the local administrative and police authorities with the cooperation of Protective Squadron (Schutzstaffel) advisers, including SS-Captain (SS-Hauptsturmfuhrer) Dieter Wisliceny.

The ghetto was under the command of Laszlo Urban, the police chief of Cluj. The ghetto's internal administration was entrusted to a Jewish Council (Judenrat). The members of this council included Fischer (as head), Rabbi Akiba Glasner, Rabbi Mozes er, and Erno Marton. As in all the other ghettos in Hungary, the local brickyard also had a "mint," a special building where the police tortured Jews into revealing where they had hidden their valuables.

Despite facing severe sanctions from Miklos Horthy's Hungarian administration, some Jews escaped across the border to Romania with the assistance of intellectuals like Emil Hatieganu, Raoul Sorban, Aurel Socol and Miskolczy Dezso, and various peasants from Manastur.

The Cluj Ghetto, counting 16.148 captured Jews, was liquidated in six transports to Auschwitz, between May 25 and June 9, 1944. About 85% of them have never returned.

Today, I was planning for something else, but a 20-25 minute walk outside in the cold (1 degree Centigrade, that's almost freezing point, not counting the windchill) have deterred me from my initial outdoors shooting plans. Therefore, I've switched to Plan B, drove by the synagogue to check how the scene is lighted at night. I've found a parking spot right across the street, and invented a new way of shooting: long exposure, right out the car window.

Heated seats are a very good addition when you try something like this in winter time. I had to stop the engine though, in order to eliminate vibrations, and propped the camera up a bit on one side, so it stood (more or less) leveled out. And there we go... 15 seconds exposure right off the car's window seal, that

Europe - Turkey / Istanbul - Oriënt Express

On June 5, 1883 the first 'Express d'Orient' left Paris for Vienna. Vienna remained the terminus until October 4, 1883. The train was officially renamed Orient Express in 1891.

The original route, which first ran on October 4, 1883, was from Paris, Gare de l'Est, to Giurgiu in Romania via Munich and Vienna. At Giurgiu, passengers were ferried across the Danube to Rousse in Bulgaria to pick up another train to Varna, from where they completed their journey to Istanbul (then called Constantinople) by ferry. In 1885, another route began operations, this time reaching Istanbul via rail from Vienna to Belgrade and Nis, carriage to Plovdiv and rail again to Istanbul.

In 1889, the train's eastern terminus became Varna in Bulgaria, where passengers could take a ship to Istanbul. On June 1, 1889, the first non-stop train to Istanbul left Paris (Gare de l'Est). Istanbul remained its easternmost stop until May 19, 1977. The eastern terminus was the Sirkeci Terminal by the Golden Horn. Ferry service from piers next to the terminal would take passengers across the Bosporus Strait to Haydarpasa Terminal, the terminus of the Asian lines of the Ottoman railways.

The onset of World War I in 1914 saw Orient Express services suspended. They resumed at the end of hostilities in 1918, and in 1919 the opening of the Simplon Tunnel allowed the introduction of a more southerly route via Milan, Venice and Trieste. The service on this route was known as the Simplon Orient Express, and it ran in addition to continuing services on the old route. The Treaty of Saint-Germain contained a clause requiring Austria to accept this train: formerly, Austria allowed international services to pass through Austrian territory (which included Trieste at the time) only if they ran via Vienna. The Simplon Orient Express soon became the most important rail route between Paris and Istanbul.

The 1930s saw the zenith of Orient Express services, with three parallel services running: the Orient Express, the Simplon Orient Express, and also the Arlberg Orient Express, which ran via Zurich and Innsbruck to Budapest, with sleeper cars running onwards from there to Bucharest and Athens. During this time, the Orient Express acquired its reputation for comfort and luxury, carrying sleeping-cars with permanent service and restaurant cars known for the quality of their cuisine. Royalty, nobles, diplomats, business people and the bourgeoisie in general patronized it. Each of the Orient Express services also incorporated sleeping cars which had run from Calais to Paris, thus extending the service right from one edge of continental Europe to the other.

The start of the Second World War in 1939 again interrupted the service, which did not resume until 1945. During the war, the German Mitropa company had run some services on the route through the Balkans, but partisans frequently sabotaged the track, forcing a stop to this service.

Following the end of the war, normal services resumed except on the Athens leg, where the closure of the border between Yugoslavia and Greece prevented services from running. That border re-opened in 1951, but the closure of the Bulgaria-Turkey border from 1951 to 1952 prevented services running to Istanbul during that time. As the Iron Curtain fell across Europe, the service continued to run, but the Communist nations increasingly replaced the Wagon-Lits cars with carriages run by their own railway services.

By 1962, the Orient Express and Arlberg Orient Express had stopped running, leaving only the Simplon Orient Express. This was replaced in 1962 by a slower service called the Direct Orient Express, which ran daily cars from Paris to Belgrade, and twice weekly services from Paris to Istanbul and Athens.

In 1971, the Wagon-Lits company stopped running carriages itself and making revenues from a ticket supplement. Instead, it sold or leased all its carriages to the various national railway companies, but continued to provide staff for the carriages. 1976 saw the withdrawal of the Paris-Athens direct service, and in 1977, the Direct Orient Express was withdrawn completely, with the last Paris-Istanbul service running on May 19 of that year.

The withdrawal of the Direct Orient Express was thought by many to signal the end of Orient Express as a whole, but in fact a service under this name continued to run from Paris to Budapest and Bucharest as before (via Strasbourg, Munich, and Budapest). This continued until 2001, when the service was cut back to just Paris-Vienna, the coaches for which were attached to the Paris-Strasbourg express. This service continued daily, listed in the timetables under the name Orient Express, until June 8, 2007. However, with the opening of the Paris-Strasbourg high speed rail line on June 10, 2007, the Orient Express service was further cut back to Strasbourg-Vienna, departing nightly at 22:20 from Strasbourg, and still bearing the name.

Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke

Spanish postcard by EdicionesTarje Fher/Ediciones Mandolina, 1964. Photo: Walt Disney Productions. Still from Mary Poppins.

English film and stage actress, singer, and author Julie Andrews (1935) was a former child actress and singer who rose to prominence starring in such stage musicals as My Fair Lady and Camelot. She is best known for her roles in the films Mary Poppins (1964) and The Sound of Music (1965). Her voice spanned four octaves until it was damaged by a throat operation in 1997. In the 2000’s she had a major revival of her film career in family films such as The Princess Diaries (2001) and the Shrek animated films (2004–2010).

Julie Andrews was born Julia Elizabeth Wells in Walton-on-Thames, England, in 1935. Her mother, music hall performer Barbara Wells (nee Morris), was married to Edward C. ‘Ted’ Wells, a teacher of metal and woodworking, but Andrews was conceived as a result of an affair her mother had with a family friend. With the outbreak of World War II, Barbara and Ted Wells went their separate ways. Ted Wells assisted with evacuating children to Surrey during the Blitz, while Barbara joined Ted Andrews in entertaining the troops through the good offices of the Entertainments National Service Association (ENSA). Barbara and Ted Wells were soon divorced. Barbara remarried to Ted Andrews in 1939. Julie had lessons at the Cone-Ripman School, an independent arts educational school in London, then with the famous concert soprano and voice instructor Lilian Stiles-Allen. She continued her academic education at the Woodbrook School, a local state school in Beckenham. Julie performed spontaneously and unbilled on stage with her parents for about two years beginning in 1945. She got her big break when her stepfather introduced her to Val Parnell, whose Moss Empires controlled prominent venues in London. Andrews made her professional solo debut at the London Hippodrome singing the difficult aria Je Suis Titania from Mignon as part of a musical revue called Starlight Roof in 1947. She played the Hippodrome for one year. In 1948 she became the youngest solo performer ever to be seen in a Royal Command Variety Performance. Julie followed her parents into radio and television and reportedly made her television debut on the BBC program RadiOlympia Showtime in 1949. She garnered considerable fame throughout the United Kingdom for her work on the BBC radio comedy show Educating Archie (1950- 1952). In 1954 on the eve of her 19th birthday, Julie Andrews made her Broadway debut portraying Polly Browne in the already highly successful London musical The Boy Friend. To the critics, Andrews was the stand-out performer in the show. In November 1955 Andrews was signed to appear with Bing Crosby in what is regarded as the first made-for-television movie, High Tor.

In 1956 Julie Andrews appeared in the Frederick Loewe and Alan Jay Lerner musical My Fair Lady as Eliza Doolittle to Rex Harrison's Henry Higgins. Richard Rodgers was so impressed with her talent that concurrent with her run in My Fair Lady she was featured in the Rodgers and Hammerstein television musical, Cinderella (1957, Ralph Nelson). Cinderella was broadcast live and attracted an estimated 107 million viewers. She married set designer Tony Walton in 1959 in Weybridge, Surrey. They had first met in 1948 when Andrews was appearing at the London Casino in the show Humpty Dumpty. The couple filed for a divorce in 1967. In 1960 Lerner and Loewe again cast her in a period musical as Queen Guinevere in Camelot, with Richard Burton. However movie studio head Jack Warner decided Andrews lacked sufficient name recognition for her casting in the film version of My Fair Lady; Eliza was played by the established film actress Audrey Hepburn instead. As Warner later recalled, the decision was easy, "In my business I have to know who brings people and their money to a movie theatre box office. Audrey Hepburn had never made a financial flop." Andrews played the title role in Disney's Mary Poppins (1964, Robert Stevenson), a lavish musical fantasy that combined live-action and animation. Walt Disney had seen a performance of Camelot and thought Andrews would be perfect for the role of the British nanny who is "practically perfect in every way!" Andrews initially declined because of pregnancy, but Disney politely insisted. Andrews and her husband headed back to the United Kingdom in 1962 for the birth of daughter Emma Katherine Walton. As a result of her performance in Mary Poppins, Andrews won the 1964 Academy Award for Best Actress and the 1965 Golden Globe Award. She and her Mary Poppins co-stars also won the 1965 Grammy Award for Best Album for Children. As a measure of ‘sweet revenge’, as Poppins songwriter Richard M. Sherman put it, Andrews closed her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes by saying, "And, finally, my thanks to a man who made a wonderful movie and who made all this possible in the fir

Expensive massages, top shelf vodka and five-star hotels: First Lady accused of spending $10m in public money on her vacations
By Daily Mail Reporter

The Obamas' summer break on Martha's Vineyard has already been branded a PR disaster after the couple arrived four hours apart on separate government jets.
But according to new reports, this is the least of their extravagances.
White House sources today claimed that the First Lady has spent $10million of U.S. taxpayers' money on vacations alone in the past year.
Expensive taste: Michelle Obama, , has been accused of spending $10m of public money on vacations
Branding her 'disgusting' and 'a vacation junkie', they say the 47-year-old mother-of-two has been indulging in five-star hotels, where she splashes out on expensive massages and alcohol.

The 'top source' told the National Enquirer: 'It's disgusting. Michelle is taking advantage of her privileged position while the most hardworking Americans can barely afford a week or two off work.
'When it's all added up, she's spent more than $10million in taxpayers' money on her vacations.'
His and her jets: The President and his wife, who are spending nine days on Martha's Vineyard, have come under fire for travelling on separate planes
The First Lady is believed to have taken 42 days of holiday in the past year, including a $375,000 break in Spain and a four-day ski trip to Vail, Colorado, where she spent $2,000 a night on a suite at the Sebastian hotel.
And the first family's nine-day stay in Martha's Vineyard is also proving costly, with rental of the Blue Heron Farm property alone costing an estimated $50,000 a week.
The source continued: 'Michelle also enjoys drinking expensive booze during her trips. She favours martinis with top-shelf vodka and has a taste for rich sparking wines.
'The vacations are totally Michelle's idea. She's like a junkie. She can't schedule enough getaways, and she lives from one to the next - all the while sticking it to hardworking Americans.'
Travelling in style: Mrs Obama during her $375,000 trip to Spain last year
High security: Bodyguards surround the First Lady and youngest daughter Sasha as they take a stroll on the Costa del Sol
While the President and his wife do pay for some of their personal expenses from their own pocket, the website whitehousedossier.com says that the amount paid by the couple is 'dwarfed by the overall cost to the public'.
The magazine also reported that Mrs Obama, whose fashion choices are widely followed, had been going on 'wild shopping sprees', much to the distress of her husband, who, its sources reveal, is 'absolutely furious' at his wife's 'out-of-control spending'.
The President has already come under fire this week over his decision to take a family vacation while millions of Americans are out of work and countless more are financially strapped.
Luxury break: The President and his family, splashed out more than $1.5million on a Christmas holiday in Hawaii
'Winter White House': The property in Kailua cost $38,000 to rent
But the situation sparked further anger after he and his wife elected to fly separately to the Massachusetts retreat - despite travelling on the same day.
Mr Obama left the White House aboard Marine One on his way to Andrews Air Force base to hitch a lift aboard Air Force One - along with First Dog Bo.
After landing at Cape Cod Coast Guard Air Station, he then took a final helicopter to his holiday destination to complete the remarkable 500-mile journey.
His wife and daughters, who arrived just four hours earlier, were also travelling from Washington, but took a specially designed military aircraft.
They would also have had their own motorcade from the airport to the vacation residence.

FIRST LADY OF LUXURY TRAVEL: HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE OBAMAS' LAVISH GETAWAYS OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS

GIRLS' TRIP TO SPAIN: AUGUST 2010
The exact cost is unclear as Mrs Obama and her 40 friends footed many personal expenses, such as hotels and meals themselves.
But the U.S. taxpayer would have paid for the First Lady's 68-strong security detail, personal staff, and use of presidential jet Air Force Two.
Per diems for the secret service team runs at around $281 each - nearly $98,000 for the length of the summer break.

Use of Air Force Two, the Air Force version of a 757, comes in at $149,900 for the round trip. This does not include time on the ground.

Mrs Obama's personal staff, of which there are an unknown amount and might cost considerably more per day, should also be taken into account.

CHRISTMAS BREAK IN HAWAII: DECEMBER 2010

According to the Hawaii Reporter, the bill for the $1.5m trip included:

$63,000 on an early flight bringing Mrs Obama and the children to Hawaii ahead of the President.
$1,000,000 on Mr Obama’s return trip from Washington on Air Force One.
$38,000 for the ‘Winter White House’ beach property rental.
$16,000 to rent nearby homes for Secret Service and Navy Seals.
$134,000 for 24 White House staff to stay at the

Na Feira do Gibi, e possivel encontrar desde raridades, colecoes completas, (agradeco aqueles que cheiram suas sensacionais colecoes), quadrinhos de faroeste, herois da Marvel, graphic novels (mais dificil), GIBI (Rio Grafica e Editora), Asterix, Tintin, pilhas de Chiclete com Banana, Piratas do Tiete, Animal, eroticos, Turma da Monica, O Bicho, Charlie Brown, Hagar, Flash Gordon (inclusive edicoes de luxo), Spirit (delicia!), fotonovela, O Cruzeiro, Grande Hotel, etc (essas ultimas nao se enquadrando no genero, mas ainda assim artigo de colecionadores).

Duas vezes por ano a feira realiza uma edicao que dura uma semana. Desde que descobri este tesouro no coracao da cidade, todo mes eu bato ponto e compro nem que seja uma revista so, alem do mais, precos existem para TODOS os bolsos, carteiras, bolsas, pochetes e mochilas. Ja comprei revista de 5 pilas, como Snoopy e Charlie Brown. Paguei 10 pilas por Spirit, Dundum, Animal, O Bicho, Olho Magico (muito boa, acho que desconhecida do publico em geral: metade dela e de quadrinistas gauchos e a outra metade de argentinos) e GIBI. Dei 15 pilas por um Almanaque Gibi Nostalgia n? 6 (com historias do hilario Pafuncio, Agente Secreto X-9, Brucutu, Little Orphan Annie, Dick Tracy e velharias desse naipe). Tambem ja paguei 20 pilas por uma outra revista que tambem chama Gibi, mas que saia pela Editora Globo, e que comprei, confesso, menos pelo conteudo (boas historias mas com sequencia no n? seguinte) do que pela vaidade de possuir uma revista tao antiga: data de 1947. Da ultima vez deixei de comprar a colecao completa do Moonshadow (John Marc DeMatteis, Jon J. Muth) porque estava 70 mangos e... Bem, meu bolso de Oseias nao comporta esse tipo de extravagancia. O Bituca me emprestou a colecao dele ha uns 3 anos e eu pirei total lendo aquilo. Foi das coisas mais lindas que eu ja li em termos de historia em quadrinhos (roteiro e arte) e eu definitivamente precisava possuir aquela colecao. Como boa turca, barganhei. O guri se fez de salame mas disse que segurava a colecao ate sabado pra mim (era quinta-feira de uma semana inteira de feira, que acabaria no sabado). Fui embora com a Dundum e a Olho Magico embaixo do braco, mais palataveis a minha miseravel condicao.

Voltei na sexta-feira com a intencao de fazer umas fotos do evento para ilustrar esse texto vagabundo que aqui esta e, oras, dar uma ultima namorada no Moonshadow. Eu ja sabia que nao ia gastar aquela grana e queria dar adeus ao pacotinho que repousava em cima de uma pilha de Hellboy. Levei meu mp3 player para gravar entrevistas e introduzi o assunto mentindo que era “um trabalho para a faculdade”. Fato e que e fui monga e acabei deletando TUDO na hora de passar pro PC. Nao darei detalhes, foi ridiculo, coisa de monga mesmo. Bueno, na banca do Paulo Tortorelli (o carinha do Moonshadow), logo avisei que ele podia vender a colecao, que eu nao teria grana mesmo, lamentavelmente. Conversei com ele mais um pouco e ele me disse que o pai dele, de mesmo nome, mais dois sujeitos, o seu Wanderlei e o Moacir, que eram os “cabecas” da feira. O papo rendeu mesmo foi com o seu Wanderlei que nao me deixava ir embora, pois contou quase sua vida inteira. Pedi pra ele posar pra mim com as revistas que ele mais curtia da banca dele e ele pegou a Gibi e o Spirit. Ele me contou que em sua pobre infancia, fazia de tudo para economizar e ganhar uns trocados para comprar gibi. Ele e os amigos. Mas falou sem afetacao, com muita simplicidade. Depois que cada um lia a sua revista trocavam entre si. Perguntei qual personagem ele mais gostava e ele lancou mao de uma revistinha bem carcomida do Brucutu (1933, Vincent T. Hamlin), e comecou a falar que aquele havia sido o primeiro personagem pre-historico das historias em quadrinhos, que gostava da linguagem, que era simples e divertia. Nao eram como os atuais quadrinhos, cheios de violencia e sexo. Quando perguntado sobre a paixao por gibis falou sobre a magia de se imaginar em outros lugares, outros tempos. Acrescentou que quando o homem chegou a lua, aquilo, para ele, nao teve impacto algum, parecia fato corriqueiro, pois no universo dos gibis ao qual estava habituado, ele ja tinha passado pela lua, por outros planetas, lugares e epocas, so possiveis atraves do fantastico mundo das historias em quadrinhos e personagens como Flash Gordon. Ele falou comigo de uma forma tao singela, achei aquilo tao bonito e nostalgico... Todo o resto da visita a feira, naquele dia, perdeu um pouco da graca. Alias, a banca do seu Wanderlei e minha preferida, sempre que vou deixo uns cobres pra ele e saio contente com meus gibis.

(Greek mythology) the prince of Troy who abducted Helen from her husband Menelaus and provoked the Trojan War

The capital of France, on the Seine River; pop. 2,175,000. Paris was held by the Romans, who called it Lutetia, and by the Franks, and was established as the capital in 987 under Hugh Capet. It was organized into three parts—the Ile de la Cite (an island in the Seine), the Right Bank, and the Left Bank—during the reign of Philippe-Auguste 1180–1223. The city's neoclassical architecture dates from the modernization of the Napoleonic era, which continued under Napoleon III, when the bridges and boulevards of the modern city were built

Hôtel de ville, Valenciennes (1612 et 1864-1867).

Place d'Armes

La « maison commune » de Valenciennes, maison de ville medievale ou siege l'administration municipale, au centre du commerce local, a connu de nombreux avatars au cours des siecles.
Le batiment d’origine, detruit par le feu au XIIIe siecle, fut reconstruit dans le style gothique, avant d’etre a nouveau incendie au XVe siecle et effondre au siecle suivant. L'edifice voit sa facade refaite en 1612, suivant le modele anversois. Il est reconstruit avec « une force de corps de logis fort longue et toute de belle pierre de taille » ainsi que le decrivait le chroniqueur henry d’Oultreman. A la fin du grand siecle, le Magistrat decide d’un remaniement important de l’edifice qui aboutit a la facade Renaissance Flamande que l’on connait aujourd’hui.

Ce schema est respecte lors de la restauration complete de 1864 a 1867, par l'architecte valenciennois Batigny. Selon le gout de l’epoque, il adjoint deux tourelles a chaque extremite de la facade mais fait disparaitre la chapelle echevinale Saint-Pierre et les halles. Il concoit un programme de statuaire monumentale qu’il confie a Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (1827-1875), enfant du pays. Celui-ci s’estime lese et propose un programme de sculpture beaucoup plus important. L’architecte le restreint a l’imposant fronton ("Valenciennes defendant ses remparts", symbolisant la resistance de la ville lors des combats de la Revolution en 1793) et quelques statues feminines entre les fenetres. Les statues allegoriques de l'Escaut et de la Rhonelle sont confies a Henri Lemaire (1798-1880), sculpteur valenciennois a qui l'on doit aussi certaines des ?uvres de la gare du Nord, a Paris.

Le gigantesque incendie qui embrase le centre-ville en mai 1940 detruit entierement l'edifice. Des personnes ayant connu la Seconde Guerre mondiale racontent que les Allemands, voulant bombarder la gare ferroviaire de nuit, bombarderent l'hotel de ville a la place, et qu'il ne restait plus que la facade.

La longue reconstruction de l’hotel de ville, d'abord confiee a l'architecte Albert Laprade puis a Jean Vergnaud, debuta en 1953 et s’acheva en 1958, juxtaposant la facade sauvegardee et restauree a un grand ensemble architectural fonctionnel sur l'arriere. Au sommet trone une reconstitution fidele, par le sculpteur Albert-Marius Patrisse (1892-1964), du celebre fronton de Carpeaux. Le 26 septembre 1959, le maire, Pierre Carous, inaugurait l’Hotel de Ville reconstruit en presence du General de Gaulle, President de la Republique.

Les Halles

Les Halles is an area of Paris, France, located in the 1er arrondissement, just south of the fashionable rue Montorgueil. It is named for the large central marketplace, which was demolished in 1971, to be replaced with an underground modern shopping precinct, the Forum des Halles. It is notable in that the open air center area is below street level, like a pit, and contains sculptures, fountains, and mosaics, as well as museums including the Musee Grevin - Forum des Halles (a wax museum).

TI MOSTRO COME FUNZIONA IL CICLISMO

Joerg Jaksche e il secondo corridore tedesco, dopo Jan Ullrich, nella lista di clienti del medico spagnolo Eufemiano Fuentes. Per un anno lo ha negato. Ora si mette a disposizione, in quello che finora e il piu grosso scandalo di doping del professionismo, quale testimone principale e racconta la storia della sua carriera dopata.
Il suo trolley e una valigetta di plastica sono tutto cio che si e portato all’Hotel Universo, in Piazza del Giglio a Lucca. Indossa una camicia bianca, jeans, scarpe da ginnastica e sembra uno studente al rientro da una lezione universitaria. E venerdi, 15 giugno, fra tre settimane inizia il Tour de France, ma Jaksche non potra parteciparvi.
Nonostante questo, stamane si e allentato due ore sulle colline della Toscana: ogni giorno pedala per sei ore, perche non ha ancora abbandonato la speranza, di ritornare a gareggiare, prima o poi.
Ma oggi non e un giorno normale. Jaksche chiede se ci sono novita, nuove voci, qualche cosa che lui debba sapere. Parla con voce bassa ed esitante, come uno che non e sicuro delle sue cose.
Nella valigetta di plastica nera c’e il fascicolo con la relazione sull’inchiesta che la Guardia Civil ha imbastito nei confronti del medico spagnolo Eufemiano Fuentes, la corrispondenza con i suoi avvocati difensori, un paio di appunti. Nella valigetta di plastica nera porta in giro l’intero disastro della sua carriera di ciclista.
Jaksche era un cliente di Fuentes, il cui laboratorio doping fu scoperto un anno fa dalla polizia spagnola: l’Operacion Puerto ha portato alla luce il piu grosso scandalo nella storia del ciclismo.
Ciclisti come Jan Ullrich e Ivan Basso erano clienti di Fuentes ed altri ce ne sono, forse cinquanta, forse di piu.
L’inchiesta e ferma pero da oltre quattro mesi perche non c’e alcun fondamento giuridico per le accuse.
I corridori coinvolti e i direttori sportivi hanno fatto passare tutto in silenzio, qualcuno ha protestato, un paio di squadre hanno annunciato la loro scelta di gareggiare senza doping, la maggior parte delle altre squadre ha solo sperato che la tempesta passasse presto e che tutto tornasse come prima.
Nei documenti della polizia spagnola c’e il nome di Jaksche, nascosto dietro il nome in codice di BELLA. Bella era il nome della cagnolina Labrador di Jaksche. L’ha fatta sopprimere tre anni fa, aveva 16 anni, e quando il dottor Merino Batres, un ematologo di Madrid, braccio destro di Fuentes, aveva voluto sapere da lui se volesse dare alle sacche di sangue il nome in codice del suo cane, Jaksche rispose: «Si, Bella».
Jaksche ci incontra all’Hotel Universo, valigetta di plastica nera nella mano, perche si e deciso a raccontare la verita. E il primo corridore della lista di Fuentes che rompe il silenzio. Ora e il testimone principale.
«Io sono Bella - dice Jaksche - ed e mio il sangue che e stato trovato nelle tre sacche. Sono anche il “nr. 20” negli atti e nel 2005 e 2006 sono stato cliente del dottor Fuentes di Madrid».
Jaksche parla della vita di un corridore ciclista professionista. E poi delle eccellenti prestazioni logistiche, della dozzina di corridori a cui Fuentes procurava sangue fresco. Dell’Epo che gli davano i dottori, dei corticoidi sui quali scambiava due parole con Bjarne Riis. Di cio che succede quando si cerca di correre un Tour di France senza Epo. Dei team manager che lo hanno formato come professionista e che sistematicamente promuovevano nelle loro squadre il doping e che anche in questo Tour de France siedono in ammiraglia.
Joerg Jaksche diventa un testimone fondamentale, perche l’omerta e la legge del silenzio non funzionano piu.
L’omerta ha funzionato perche tutti - direttori sportivi, dottori, corridori, massaggiatori, meccanici - conoscevano l’uno le colpe degli altri. Tutti erano ricattabili, tutti tacevano.
Ora Jaksche scrive una nuova pagina della storia che il massaggiatore belga Jef D’Hont e i corridori della Telekom Bert Dietz, Rolf Aldag ed Erik Zabel hanno raccontato sul ciclismo degli anni Novanta fino ad oggi.
Joerg Jaksche, 1 metro e 85 cm di altezza, 70 chili di peso, viso spigoloso e mento pronunciato, ora ha 30 anni. E professionista da dieci anni e corre per grandi squadre, e tra i migliori venti corridori del mondo. Attualmente e sotto contratto con una squadra di seconda divisione italo-russa che non e stata invitata al Tour de France.
Trent’anni, l’eta giusta per vincere il Tour de France. L’eta nella quale un buon corridore puo guadagnare bene. Ma e anche l’eta nella quale non ci si puo piu concedere pause.
Jaksche ha deciso di parlare anche perche non puo piu partecipare a grandi corse. Ed e pronto a mettersi a disposizione di tutte le autorita del ciclismo e della Wada e si fara interrogare dai procuratori di stato tedeschi, perche non vuole fermarsi per due anni o piu, ma vuole rientrare in gruppo gia dal prossimo anno. E pensa che Ullrich, Basso e gli altri, coinvolti nei fatti spagnoli, siano solo i capri espiatori, mentre il resto del gruppo corre ancora e continua sicuramente

The Strand Palace Hotel sounds like it is quite elegant in London judging from my quick look up. Beautiful old building nicely remodeled on the inside with a notable restaurant. The hotel is located in London's West End surrounded by Leicester Square, St. Paul's Cathedral, Trafalgar Square and the fabulous London Eye. Looks like a great place to stay.
