Seit Jahren warten wir darauf, dass uns Taylor Swift endlich einmal mit einem Konzert beehrt. Nach ihrem neuen, am 23. August erschienenen Album stehen die Chancen für eine Europatournee mit Schweizer Zwischenstation besser denn je. Konkret ist aber noch nichts in Aussicht. Am 13. Dezember dieses Jahres wird Taylor Swift erst 30. Zehn Grammys hat sie ja schon in Schrank stehen.

Was das genau be- deutet, zeigen Palko!Muski bei ihren Live- shows. Wenn die fünfköpfige Band loslegt, gibt es kein Halten mehr. Wer sich zu diesem Sound nicht bewegt, ist taub. Zurzeit machen die Zürcher die Schweizer Clubs unsicher. Das Programm lautet wie immer Katharsis. Einfach loslassen und in den Sound eintauchen. Wer einmal an einem Konzert HEATHER NOVA dabei war, braucht keine Therapie mehr. Das neus- te Werk «Happy Therapy» ist dementsprechend aektiv. Lange therapeutische Sitzungen im Studio DIE AUSTER HAT GEBURI liess die Band aus. Wie es sich für Polkarocker ge- hört, spielten Palko!Muski das Album live ein. lcb Dass Heather Nova ausgerechnet jetzt neue Lieder liefert, ist Zufall. Aber es passt perfekt. Mit «Pearl» feiert die Britin den 25. Geburtstag ihres Erfolgsalbums «Oyster». Zur Erinnerung: Der grosse Hit damals hiess «Walk This World». Obwohl acht Platten dazwischen liegen: Den eigentlichen Nach- folger bringt sie erst jetzt. Stilmässig findet die Songwriterin auf dem aktuellen Album zu ihren Wurzeln zurück. In den Songs verarbeitet sie ihre Scheidung. Ausserdem sind auf «Pearl» viele Liebeslieder zu hören. Die Musikerin ist frisch verliebt. Dass Heather Nova auch ihre Fans liebt, beweist die 52-Jährige, indem sie immer wieder ihr Inselparadies auf den Bermudas verlässt und in die weite Welt reist. So wie jetzt auf der aktuellen Tour durch Europa. lcb ROBERTO CARELLA AM DRUM FESTIVAL SWITZERLAND Mo 14.10.19, Volkshaus Zürich Fr 4.10.19, Kulturfabrik Kofmehl Solothurn SCHLAG AUF SCHLAG JAZZNOJAZZ Was bedeutet Rhythmus?

  • Alan Sillitoe the LONELINESS of the LONG- DISTANCE RUNNER
    Alan Sillitoe THE LONELINESS OF THE LONG- DISTANCE RUNNER Published in 1960 The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner Uncle Ernest Mr. Raynor the School-teacher The Fishing-boat Picture Noah's Ark On Saturday Afternoon The Match The Disgrace of Jim Scarfedale The Decline and Fall of Frankie Buller The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner AS soon as I got to Borstal they made me a long-distance cross-country runner. I suppose they thought I was just the build for it because I was long and skinny for my age (and still am) and in any case I didn't mind it much, to tell you the truth, because running had always been made much of in our family, especially running away from the police. I've always been a good runner, quick and with a big stride as well, the only trouble being that no matter how fast I run, and I did a very fair lick even though I do say so myself, it didn't stop me getting caught by the cops after that bakery job. You might think it a bit rare, having long-distance crosscountry runners in Borstal, thinking that the first thing a long-distance cross-country runner would do when they set him loose at them fields and woods would be to run as far away from the place as he could get on a bellyful of Borstal slumgullion--but you're wrong, and I'll tell you why. The first thing is that them bastards over us aren't as daft as they most of the time look, and for another thing I'm not so daft as I would look if I tried to make a break for it on my longdistance running, because to abscond and then get caught is nothing but a mug's game, and I'm not falling for it.

    CHAPTER XXXVIII. INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS. FORM. 1. The interrogative pronouns are who, what, which and whether. Only who is declined: Nom. who, Gen. whose, Obj. whom. For the declension of whoever, whosoever and whoso, and for details about the use of these compounds see Ch. XLI. 2. Obs. I. The genitive of the word-group who else is formed in three ways: whose else, who else's, whose else's. The first form is grammatically the most correct, else being an adverb. It is also the oldest and is still preferred when no noun follows. Who else's is now the common form when a noun follows, and whose else's, like other cumulate forms, may be considered as vulgar. Compare JESPERSEN, Progress, § 233. i. MAR. IS this Mr. Hardcastle's house, child? — Miss HARD. Ay, sure. Whose else should it be? GOLDSMITH, She Stoops, IV, (212). ii. Yes, wAo else's daughter should I be? GOSSE AND ARCHER, transl. of Ibsen's Master Builder, 51.i) iii. 'His blankets?' asked Joe. — "WAose else's do you think?" replied the woman. DICK., Christm. Car.s, IV, 94. II. In Present Spoken English whom is often replaced by who, except in the rather uncommon construction when the pronoun is preceded by a preposition. Thus the literary Of whom are you speaking? answers to the familiar Who are you speaking of ? Numerous instances of this substitution of who for the strictly grammatical whom occur in SHAKESPEARE, and the practice sesms to have been prevalent in all stages of Modern English. See SWEET, N.E.

  • Is Prison the Right Place for One of Ireland's Most Dangerous Inmates?
    16/07/2019 Is prison the right place for one of Ireland’s most dangerous inmates? Is prison the right place for one of Ireland’s most dangerous inmates? Family of Alan Ellis convinced he is not getting the treatment his condition merits Thu, Dec 27, 2018, 00:01 Conor Gallagher Follow When Alan Ellis appeared in court in last October to plead guilty to his latest offence he was surrounded by a phalanx of prison guards in full riot gear – a security procedure known as “barrier handling”. For the last few years Ellis has been subjected to this barrier handling anytime he left his cell to shower, exercise or see his family or lawyer. Coming to court was no different. As he emerged from a side door into Court Seven’s cramped defendant’s area in the Criminal Courts of Justice, three guards, including two with riot shields, shuffled along beside him. Usually a fourth officer would walk behind capturing everything on camera – a precaution in case violence breaks out – but on this occasion the judge had refused permission to film in the court. Ellis is a 26-year-old man who has spent the last six years in prison, most of it in solitary confinement on 23-hour lock- up. He is regarded by prison staff as one of the two most dangerous inmates in the country, the other being Leon Wright, a young man serving a 13-year term for a series of violent robberies and hijackings. “It would certainly be between him and Leon,” says a staff member in Mountjoy Prison.

  • Exploring the Perspectives of Staff Working in UK Universities Final Report
    Is ‘lad culture’ a problem in higher education? Exploring the perspectives of staff working in UK universities Final report on the project undertaken by : Carolyn Jackson (Lancaster University) and Vanita Sundaram (University of York) Is ‘lad culture’ a problem in higher education? Exploring the perspectives of staff working in UK universities Context Concerns about ‘Lad cultures’ in universities proliferated in the UK print media early in 2013. Headlines have included: ‘Can universities ever get rid of boozy, sexist lad culture?’ (The Telegraph, 24/2/14); ‘Lad culture: What can be done when it's everywhere at university? (Independent.co.uk, 6/1/15); and ‘Sexist Lads’ Culture is out of control at Universities’ (Daily Mail, 16/9/14). Early reports tended to focus on anecdotal accounts of practices such as ‘slut dropping’ (where male students offer women lifts home after night-time socials but leave them stranded miles away from home) and ‘hazing’ (initiation ceremonies usually linked to male sports teams), as well as fancy dress parties with themes such as ‘pimps and hoes’ and ‘geeks and sluts’ (The Independent, 11/10/2012). More recently, the press have reported several cases that they have identified as reflecting ‘lad culture’, including the production and circulation by the men’s rugby club at the London School of Economics of leaflets which had sexist and homophobic content; and students at Nottingham University singing a misogynistic chant that included a line about digging up a female corpse and having sex with it. The National Union of Students (NUS) has been concerned about ‘lad culture’ for a few years.

Despite the fact that I heard these voices again and again as I read and analyzed my data, I never grew weary of them. On the contrary, I found myself amazed at how compelling these voices remained. Therefore, in offering my acknowledgements, I want to first and foremost thank the students. I truly appreciate the students' candidness in sharing their perceptions and concerns about the achievement gap as well as their personal reflections and stories about their lives, families and academic careers.

GEOFFREY WILLIAM GRIFFIN AND STAREHE BOYS CENTRE AND SCHOOL (508 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Najee’ E. Muhammad The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of the person of Geoffrey William Griffin, identify and examine forces that accounted for his involvement in Kenyan youth education, interpret how the establishment of Starehe Boys Centre and School reflects Kenya’s educational historical context of the time and to obtain an understanding of Griffin’s insights on the Kenyan youth education.

The research participants were those individuals with whom Griffin had interacted with in various youth educational programs that he was involved. These included alumni, administrators, colleagues, staff, and friends. Thirty-six participants took part in the study. Data were collected from both secondary and primary sources using a qualitative inquiry approach.The methods used in collecting data from the primary sources were life histories, open-ended interviews, participant observation, document, archival, and audiovisual analysis.
