  • Highly Volatile Into
    1 Highly Volatile: how your lame band taught you everything you need to know about business and finance. By David Lowery. 2 Introduction MEA CULPA Let me be honest. This is at best a collection of loosely related musings on business and finance. I have no practical advice. I have no grand theory. I have insight into why things fail, why they don't work. But what I offer here is not some sort of roadmap to success. I suspect no such roadmap exists. There are plenty of charlatans out there who claim to have one—my local bookstore has shelves filled with these books. But if the books were right, wouldn't most of us be successful? Sadly, people prefer simplicity and certainty, much like how they want simple choruses that say things like "let's get this party started" or "I'm sticking witchu." Genetically I am not hardwired to offer either. My career could at best be described as moderately successful: a few hits with a lot of rough periods in between. I've made stupid mistakes, wasted a lot of time and money on ill-advised endeavors, and only occasionally gotten back on track. And when I have gotten back on track—a minor hit, a song in a commercial, or a choice film placement—it has been largely due to luck or accidental good timing. Sometimes my ass has been 3 saved by events one could only describe as freakishly random. For instance, a few years ago a Greek pop producer used a sample of an instrumental I wrote in 1988.

On the surface, OUAT is a television show that constantly challenges the culturally-ingrained gender norms often found in fairy tales, as it creates new storylines for traditional fairy tales. This warrants a deeper examination of the series to understand if and how it is subverting these typical gender norms. To fully understand how gender operates in OUAT, I examined how gender affects and is affected by hegemony in the show and how this relates to our cultural understanding of gender and power.

This journal was produced on unceded Mi’kmaq territory. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) people first signed with the British Crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations. NOTE FROM THE EDITORS The editorial team at Fathom has been the largest in many years, and with this wonderful, talented group, we have been able to work towards creating a more diverse journal. Members of the team hail from a wide variety of disciplines, as do the authors published this year. Our vision was to reach beyond the confines of the Creative Writing department to capture a multifaceted experience; to showcase the extent of interdisciplinary and unique voices present in the literary community at Dalhousie and King’s.

  • Untold Story Just As They Have Told It: ‘Like It Is’
    lighthouse an untold Experiences of life and street prostitution story in Hull These 12 women warmly, bravely and earnestly invite you to hear this untold story just as they have told it: ‘like it is’. Between these covers a group of women who have all been involved in street prostitution in Hull tell the stories of their lives through poetry, interviews, prose and artwork. Here you will read of abuse, pain and loss but also of exceptional courage and hope. Women involved in street prostitution are amongst the most disadvantaged, abused and stigmatised women in Britain. The ‘problem of prostitution’ - and more recently the issue of sexual exploitation - has been much discussed by journalists, academics, professionals, policy makers and, to some extent, by women who regard themselves as having made a free choice to engage in prostitution. Rarely have women who have experienced the vulnerability of street prostitution themselves defined and described their experiences. 2 an Untold Story an untold story Experiences of life and street prostitution in Hull in the words of: Angela Becky Crissy Daisy Deborah Freddie Jemma Mia Millie Nicola Porscha & Renatta 1 an Untold Story Dedication This is the blank page poetry, This is the hidden pen. The silent voices, hushed up screams, Unheard whispers; called out names. Unanswered, Unheartfelt, And uncared for. This is the truth as it stands. These are the voices of our friends who got lost on the way. These are the shadows of the innocent and lonely, Who never made it home. These are the tears and the endless echoes of the cries for help That no one ever answered.
