  • 5.1 Integritas (Arbery)
    Commencement Week 2018 NTEGRITA IWyoming Catholic CollegeS Issue . Reflecting on the Class of by Dr. Glenn C. Arbery President Wyoming Catholic College (Delivered at the annual President's Dinner, held on May , ) When this year’s graduating class first came to Wyo- ming Catholic College in the fall of 2014, they were already a vivid group. I remember them, fresh from the backcountry after their 21-day trip, when they came to Humanities class ready to talk about Hesiod and Homer. The girls were of course all proper and restrained, but the guys were a little like the whalers that Melville describes at the beginning of Moby-Dick when they burst into the first bar they find: “all bedarned and ragged, and their beards stiff with icicles, they seemed an eruption of bears from Labrador.” I’m exaggerat- ing, of course. That wasn’t until after the winter trip. I got to know these graduates best the next semester in the Trivium 102 course that has since fallen out of the curriculum. For a few weeks, we had time to think about poetry—how essential it was to understand meter, for example, and what the difference was between a good poem and a bad one. As we were reading Paul Fussell’s Poetic Meter and Poetic Form, they began to see that the good poet never simply follows a predictable pattern—say, the sequence of unstressed and stressed syllables in an iam- bic pentameter line (daDUN-daDUN-daDUN-daDUN-daDUN)—or if the poet does follow it, it’s for a good poetic reason.

  • THROUGH the BARRICADES HAD ONS LAATSTE ALBUM MOETEN ZIJN” Interview Tony Hadley (Spandau Ballet) – Melkweg Amsterdam (27 November 2016 )
    “THROUGH THE BARRICADES HAD ONS LAATSTE ALBUM MOETEN ZIJN” Interview Tony Hadley (Spandau Ballet) – Melkweg Amsterdam (27 november 2016 ) “Ik ging ooit met Lemmy op stap in LA en heb het overleefd!” Aldus Tony Hadley, zanger van 80’s-popband Spandau Ballet. Niet de eerste persoon die je in één adem met de eind vorig jaar overleden frontman van Motörhead zou noemen, maar blijkbaar hebben de wegen van beide zangers elkaar in het verleden toch gekruist. Met Spandau Ballet is Tony vooral bekend van hits als Gold , True en Through the Barricades en zijn wereldwijd meer dan twintig miljoen platen verkocht. Niet slecht voor een band die is vernoemd naar de tekst Spandau Ballet die op een Berlijn- se wc-muur was gekalkt! Na een dieptepunt in 1999, toen de bandleden in de rechtbank recht tegenover elkaar stonden vanwege ruzie over royalties, kwam de band tien jaar later weer terug. Na de laatste wereldtournee van 2015 ligt Spandau Ballet weer even stil, vandaar dat Tony nu met zijn eigen band optreedt. Maar solo of niet, de hits van vroeger zal hij altijd blijven spelen. Tekst: Godfried Nevels Een paar weken geleden heb ik Paul Young geïnter- Low deed. En Ultravox, vroege Ultravox. En ook vroege viewd. Ik heb begrepen dat Paul een goede vriend Human League. De hele scene veranderde steeds van je is? meer. Het was een geweldige tijd. Het belangrijkste “Ja, we zijn goede vrienden. Hij is een geweldige vent.” van die tijd om muzikaal te onthouden: er was geen social media. Als je een demo opnam was het op band, Ken je Paul al lang? haha! Er waren geen mobiele telefoons.

  • The Sayings of Hazrat Inayat Khan
    The Sayings of Hazrat Inayat Khan Gayan Vadan Nirtan Bowl of Saki Aphorisms GAYAN Song Alapas (God speaking to man) Alankaras (The fanciful expression of an idea.) Boulas (Kindled words) Chalas (Illuminated words) Gamakas (Feelings of a poet's heart, keyed to various notes) Gayatri (Prayers) Ragas (The human soul calling upon the beloved God) Suras (God speaking through the kindled soul) Talas (Rhythmic expressions of ideas) Tanas (The soul speaking with nature) ALAPAS (God speaking to man) When a glimpse of Our image is caught in man, when heaven and earth are sought in man, then what is there in the world that is not in man? If one only explores him, there is a lot in man. If you will go forward to find Us, We will come forward to receive you. Give Us all you have, and We shall give you all We possess. In man We have designed Our image; in woman We have finished it. In man We have shown Our nature benign; in woman We have expressed Our art divine. God is the answer to every question. Make God a reality, and God will make you the truth. God made man, and man made good and evil. If the Almighty God chooseth, He hath power sufficient to turn thy shield into a poisoned sword, and even thine own hand into the hand of thine adversary. Give all you have, and take all that is given to you. Your great enemies are those who are near and dear to you, but your still greater enemy is your own self.

Katy Perry advert slammed for animal cruelty as she tells dog to 'chase koalas' She’s the songwriter behind Jess Glynne’s Hold My Hand, Little Mix’s album track Grown, Tinie Tempah’s Girls Like. She’s worked with Craig David, Sean Paul and David Guetta. The music industry is a tough place for women, yet Jin Jin is behind some huge hits and now wants to find the women songwriters of the future. She got into songwriting semi by accident – as a kid she’d hang out in her granddad’s reggae music shop. Then one day she was given a small keyboard and ‘sort of fell into it’, copying the reggae greats by taking a pop song and making it reggae, before starting to write her own stuff. She studied music tech.
