Chicago, IL January 26th, 2009 — E-Z Movers signature pink vehicles will illustrate awareness of the fight for the cure and allow observers to connect with friends and family to join the fight, for the cure of breast cancer. On the Move for a Cure® is made possible by the E-Z Movers On the Move for a Cure® Fundraiser which will be an annual fundraiser held by E-Z Movers who will donate a percentage from every move we make.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is a global breast cancer movement that aims to fight, save, and empower women and men from breast cancer. Together with the large network of breast cancer survivors, this movement is globally dedicated to help fight against breast cancer in the world. Survivors and friends have already invested more than $1 billion and became the largest source of nonprofit funds in helping victims of breast cancer that was earned from partners, sponsors, supporters, and some survivors that also felt the sympathy of once being sick. With it’s vision to fulfill the promise of helping through investing in breast health care and treatment for the undeserved, EZ Movers, as a leading professional Chicago movers, will help the Chicagoland Area Affiliates of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® to Illustrate, show Awareness and fight for the Advancement of a cure through the “On the Move for a Cure®” Fundraiser.

On the Move for a Cure® will help raise awareness for early detection, raise funds towards research and support in fighting this disease. But real change doesn’t happen overnight. Our work fighting breast cancer head-on requires a long-term commitment.

When you donate to the On the Move for a Cure® Fundraiser, you’ll be part of a family of giving people spreading the word to aid women and men to help fight and end this disease. Together, we can try to bring an end to breast cancer by finding a cure.

From Cold War to War On Terror – a personal journey

January 9th, 2009

Ears by Lehel Vandor is a memoir freshly published by Legend Press in the United Kingdom.

It is a personal journey of a Transylvanian Hungarian ethnic child of Ceausescu’s dark `70s, a teenager during the suffocating Romanian `80s, a student during the surreal `90s and an emigrant of recent years.

His journey from a world that Kafka imagined, but Ceausescu created, to a society that still fights with numerous ghosts also reveals unexpected parallels between that past totalitarianism and the disturbing transformations of his recently adopted home.

It combines the recollections of a child’s personal experiences with the subtle humour of the reminiscing adult, genuine literary craftsmanship, a gentle lyrical tone of remarkable restraint even when writing about everyday experiences one can’t even imagine to live through once.

On the other hand, it is not just a memoir of years spent during an infamous totalitarian regime – it is also a sensitive and deeply observant description of the many unexpectedly dark changes that came after the optimism that followed the Romanian Revolution of 1989.

It is a tableau of a society going through the most disorienting tectonic shifts, seen from `street level’ and in the final chapters there are revelatory parallels drawn between the author’s former and his later adopted home.

Whether the dumbing down and exquisite propaganda tactics are used by a communist dictator or, years and miles apart, a free democratic country’s government seeing itself in the second line of a so-called `War on Terror’, it becomes evident: the context and details may differ in certain methods used by radically different powers, but the essence and intent of those classic methods can be remarkably similar.

It also gives the reader the opportunity to follow the cognitive journey of a person who gradually discovers the shadier side of the things everybody craved during the communist regime: the wonders of consumerism, the apparent total freedom of speech and press, freedom of thought being streamlined into few narrow mainstream trends…
