NHK Newsline 作一美國Homeless 專題。比起去年，多十幾百分點，又有drug 和搶店之問題，城市“風景”越來越不可愛。這問題很嚴峻。
Robin Williams 1500 homeless
In every movie he filmed he asked the production company to hire at least 10 homeless people. During his entire career, he helped approximately 1520 homeless.
Alongside his friends and fellow actors Billy Crystal and Whoopi Goldberg, Mr. Williams appeared in an annual series of HBO telethons for Comic Relief, a charity organization that helps homeless people and others in need.

After the In Memoriam segment, Billy Crystal offered a very touching, emotional tribute to his close friend, Robin Williams, who died two weeks ago. “He made us laugh, hard, every time we saw him,” Crystal said.
He told a couple of stories, including one time when he, Williams and Whoopi Goldberg went to Shea Stadium for a Comic Relief event. Williams wasn’t really a big baseball fan (his favorite team was “The San Franciscos”) but he got a kick out of pretending to be a baseball player from Russia.
Williams was also apparently a big presence at Crystal family functions — he bonded with older immigrant relatives “like he was one of the guys,” and make up stories about his past. “As genius as he was on stage, he was the greatest friend you could ever imagine — supportive, protective loving,” Crystal said, his voice shaking. “It’s very hard to talk about him in the past because he was so present in all of our lives.” “For almost 40 years, he was the brightest star in the comedy galaxy.”
Here’s an excerpt from the full speech as transcribed by Vulture’s Alex Jung:
Well, as genius as he was onstage, he was the greatest friend you could ever imagine: supportive, protective, loving. It’s very hard to talk about him in the past because he was so present in all of our lives. For almost 40 years, he was the brightest star in the comedy galaxy. But while some of the brightest of our celestial bodies are actually extinct now, their energy long since cooled, but miraculously, because they float in the heavens so far away from us now, their beautiful light will continue to shine on us forever. And the glow will be so bright, it’ll warm your heart, it’ll make your eyes glisten, and it’ll make you think to yourselves: Robin Williams, what a concept.
— Billy Crystal

The New Philanthropists: The New Generosity
Charles B. Handy, Elizabeth Handy
William Heinemann, 2006 - Social Science - 200 pages
Who are the new philanthropists? And how is their philanthropy "new?"
In this inspiring book, eminent management writer and Britain's biggest business guru Charles Handy and his wife Elizabeth, a portrait photographer, have collaborated to portray a new generation of practical philanthropists--men and women who have made their own fortunes and decided to move on from financial success to try to help those in need. They are doing so not simply by giving their money away to charities and agencies but by helping actively, working on the spot with the very people who need their aid, ensuring that the initiatives are sustainable in the longer term. As in their acclaimed The New Alchemists, the Handys have both interviewed and photographed their subjects in order to tell their inspiring stories; from the Sydney restaurateur Jeff Gambin, who personally helps to cook hot and cold menus for homeless people, to Niall Mellon, a young Irish property developer who is replacing shacks in a South African township with breeze-block homes, and Sara Davenport, who sold her art gallery and set up a breast-cancer care center--the Haven Trust--to offer integrated, holistic treatment and support.
Working in a Boston homeless shelter, Nick Flynn re-encounters his father, a con man and self-proclaimed poet. Sensing trouble in his own life, Nick wrestles with the notion of reaching out yet again to his dad.

蘇先生有轉此篇 How do you count the homeless?
http://yifertw.blogspot.tw/2013/08/homeless.html
我在那兒有些簡單的解釋和說明 它也牽涉到"可運作的定義"問題以及台北龍山寺的街友之詳細影片紀錄等等
Hanching Chung 提到... 經濟學人的這篇.剪貼在那. 主要它談的是各國界定"街友"的官方的可運作定義. 台灣的公視月前曾有詳細紀錄萬華龍山寺街友的影片--片中說警方有所有街友的詳細清冊. 而這只是台灣街友的冰山一角.....

里爾克Rainer Maria Rilke作，方思譯，〈秋日 Autumn Day 〉從語詞窺見社會文化的變遷
方思譯里爾克〈秋日〉末段 顯然和英文翻譯有差異和誤解.
"Autumn Day" by Rainer Maria Rilke - poetry on 'The Beckoning'
Rainer Maria Rilke
This translation is by Guntram Deichsel:
Autumn Day
Lord, it is time. Let the great summer go,
Lay your long shadows on the sundials,
And over harvest piles let the winds blow.
Lay your long shadows on the sundials,
And over harvest piles let the winds blow.
Command the last fruits to be ripe;
Grant them some other southern hour,
Urge them to completion, and with power
Drive final sweetness to the heavy grape.
Grant them some other southern hour,
Urge them to completion, and with power
Drive final sweetness to the heavy grape.
Who's homeless now, will for long stay alone.
No home will build his weary hands,
He'll wake, read, write letters long to friends
And will the alleys up and down
Walk restlessly, when falling leaves dance.
No home will build his weary hands,
He'll wake, read, write letters long to friends
And will the alleys up and down
Walk restlessly, when falling leaves dance.
現在無屋的人不要為他建造一座。
現在孤獨的人要長久孤獨
要醒來，誦讀，而且寫長長的信
而在荒蕪的途徑上來回
不休止的流浪當死去的葉子吹來
──里爾克作，方思譯，〈秋日〉
