Anarchist bandmember dumps bucket of icy water on Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott. Let no one say that the anarchists of Chumbawamba are ones to miss a prime. At Monday night's Brit awards (the major U.K. music awards event), Chumbawamba member Danbert Nobacon struck a blow on behalf of striking dock. workers in Liverpool when he dumped a bucket of ice water on Deputy Prime. Minister John Prescott, who was watching the ceremony with his wife. Prescott had been enjoying several live numbers by Fleetwood Mac at the. time of the watery attack, according to Reprise Records president Howie. Klein, who was seated just four feet from the Deputy PM. "[Nobacon] attacked [Prescott] with a bucket of ice water, screaming, 'That's for the Liverpool dockers!' " Klein said late Monday night. "[Sire. Records Group president] Seymour Stein thrust himself between the already. drenched Prescott and his enraged assailant, who then fled through the crowd. and escaped. Stein then convinced Prescott to stay by saying, 'If you. leave now, they will have won.' " Tension between Chumbawamba and government officials was rumored to have. been running high since London's Times newspaper reported that Prime. Minister Tony Blair was boycotting the awards because of Chumba's. appearance there. "Amnesia," the band's follow-up to their international. smash single, "Tubthumping," is a track expressing dissatisfaction with. Blair's Labor Party. After the awards, Prescott's office issued a statement calling the attack "cowardly." "It now appears that it was a publicity stunt designed to draw attention. to the group's act," the statement read. "[Prescott] thinks it utterly. contemptible that his wife and other womenfolk should have been subjected. to such cowardly, terrifying behaviour simply because they were. accompanying a public figure at an event designed to support the British. The strike by dock workers in Liverpool dates back to 1995, when dockers. were fired for refusing to work overtime. When hundreds of other dock. workers refused to cross the original strikers' picket line, they, too, were. fired. The action has since garnered support from labor groups across the. Monday's episode was not the first instance of dissension during the Brit. Awards. In 1996, Pulp member Jarvis Cocker was arrested for disrupting a. Michael Jackson performance at the ceremony, after he mounted the stage as. Jackson was in the process of being lowered onto it from above. Cocker was. The Spectrum Collection. John Prescott lives in the deep Southern woods of Mississippi with his wife Edie, son Grafton Caine, and their two cats. He loves to spend time with his family, take long walks, and draw. He is, of course, an avid reader. He somehow finds time to umpire baseball and softball while working as an art director. He maintains a Web site dedicated to his writing at www.john-prescott.com, where he oversees a healthy, growing forum and encourages anyone to sign up. John's first short-story collection, Before Sunrise, has met with gratifying success, and he recently headed an international anthology entitled M is for Monster, released Halloween 2010. Pray is John’s first novel. Reviews of The Spectrum Collection by John Prescott. The Spectrum Collection from Dark Continents Publishing Kobo ebook review Pages 104 (Kobo epub version) Spectrum is an interesting collection of stories and poetry from a new publisher entering the market. I know a couple of the writers in this collection but everyone else was new, and to tell the truth, there were several surprises in this nice -- yet short -- collection. All the stories are spec fiction in nature and all bar one really hooked me. We have a ghost story with a bit of a twist and very well thought out; a struggling writer facing rejection who is a vampire in a world where The Happening occurred causing zombies, mutants and a lack of blood. We have a twisted story about a goat, to say more would give it away. There are a couple of zombie stories one had more oomph than the other (and that's just my opinion). It's hard to get oomph in a zombie story these days, but these do it well. In this collection, though, there is one clear winner: Lemminaid by Carson Buckingham. The execution of this short story won me over, as well as the build up, the twist and the characters. All the stories here are awesome and well worth your hard earned dosh. You won't go wrong with this collection in your e-reader or on your shelf. If you like spec fic, if you like to smirk after each story and nod your head thinking 'neat', then check out these writers and their stories here-in. read more reviews: http://reviewer-sffh.blogspot.com/ The Spectrum Collection is the second release from Dark Continents Press. Like it's predecessor, Pray, it offers up an excellent read. Within its pages are ten tales of dark speculative fiction, from in the main relatively new authors. There are tales of ghosts, evil old women, vampires, zombies, and mutant spider women. So far so good. It's common in such collections that the quality can vary greatly between each story, from excellent to plain awful. Thankfully John Prescott, knows his stuff, the tales told here range from very good to excellent. There are a couple of poems here, I won't comment on them as I have never got poetry, well other than dirty limericks. So what are my favourite tales. The Elms, Morecambe - Simon Kurt Unsworth. this is a heart wrenching ghost story, that sticks with you long after finishing it. Simon Kurt Unsworth is quickly turning into one of my all time favourite short story writers. Wicked Appetites - Sylvia Shults. A tale of vampires, mutants and an author trying to make in big in a world after the Happening. nice twist at the end. Lemminaid - Carson Buckinham. An extremely well crafted chilling ghost story about revenge and retribution. This is only the second time I have read Carons' work. Must change that and track down more of her work. This is writing of a first class standard. Archies Tale David M. Youngquist It pains me to pick a zombie tale, I'm just burned out to the zombie genre. But credit must be given for a well told and action packed zombie tale, that keeps me reading to the end. A hard task for zombie tale. The End of Leonard Bangston - John Prescott. A tale of getting to know your family a little to well and the nasty old woman who lives at the end of your street. That's all I,m saying other than it will be a long time before I eat brawn again. Come on folks support the new boys in town and grab your self a copy. AAMC Spotlight: John Prescott, MD. Dr. Prescott, AAMC's Chief Academic Officer, always knew he wanted to be a doctor, but college proved to be more challenging than anticipated. It wasn’t until a volunteer experience in the emergency department confirmed his path to medicine and inspired him to keep pushing forward. New section. New section. But college was more demanding than I had anticipated. High school hadn’t been challenging for me, so when I got to college, I found I didn’t really know how to study. I struggled with chemistry and calculus and only managed a 2.66 GPA after dropping a course. It took lots of persistence, practice, and patience to learn new study habits. In spite of my academic troubles, I decided to volunteer at the university’s emergency department. On Thursday evenings, I would suit up in a bright red volunteer jacket and run blood and urine specimens to the lab or transport a patient to or from the radiology department. Even though I was just a volunteer, I always tried to listen to the conversations of the doctors and nurses to get a better sense of the “how and why” of patient care and to see if I could make sense of any of the X-rays.

  • Chumbawamba E O Caso Tubthumper – O Mainstream Como Estratégia
    Chumbawamba e o caso Tubthumper – O mainstream como estratégia Guy Amado – Novembro de 2005 "It is to be strongly established that the myth is a communication system, is message. […] The myth can always, in the end, signify the resistance made to it." Roland Barthes "It's time to create the pop stars of activism, the idoru of communication guerrilla, it's time to threaten and charm the masses, to play the myth against the myth, to be more nihilist than infoteinment !" Etoy "Knock hard, life is deaf." Mimi Parent A reboque da insuficiência e do relativismo que caracterizam a circulação do termo cultura tal como se efetiva nestes tempos "pós-tudo", chama a atenção o nicho de estudos e estratégias de mobilização que circulam sob a denominação genérica de resistência cultural . Na medida em que a própria noção-base de cultura se apresenta de maneira cada vez mais vaga e diluída, sendo referida de maneira rasa e instrumentalizada e cooptada de modo oportunista na legitimação de ideologias e programas universalistas, a idéia de "resistir" apresentaria-se igualmente relativizada. É possível, contudo, divisar o que poderia ser descrito como um espectro heterogêneo de correntes do pensamento contemporâneo e mesmo de ações práticas que se contrapõem ou se interessam em analisar o cenário e adotar um posicionamento crítico frente a esse estado das coisas. De Noam Chomsky a Hakim Bey, passando por releituras de, entre tantos outros, Guy Debord e Nietzsche, toda uma gama de pensadores têm influenciado os que vêem na tecnologia e na internet – esta,

It shed light on dis- turbing Arab and world realities. The speakers pointed out many important issues and challenges facing the world that need real efforts to combat them. The World Government Summit is a non-profit organization and a global platform that examines the areas of government action and innovation and explores the future of governments around the world. The fact is that the world today, whether Arab or Western, faces many challenges. But the Arab world seems more influ- enced by the conflicts that have affected its development. For example, 57 million Arabs are illiterate and 13.5 million Arab children did not attend school this year! This is a very sad reality, especially since 30 million Arabs are living below the poverty line.

  • Aesthetic of Our Anger. Anarcho-Punk, Politics and Music Edited by Mike Dines & Matthew Worley
    Minor Compositions Open Access Statement – Please Read This book is open access. This work is not simply an electronic book; it is the open access version of a work that exists in a number of forms, the traditional printed form being one of them. All Minor Compositions publications are placed for free, in their entirety, on the web. This is because the free and autonomous sharing of knowledges and experiences is important, especially at a time when the restructuring and increased centralization of book distribution makes it difficult (and expensive) to distribute radical texts effectively. The free posting of these texts does not mean that the necessary energy and labor to produce them is no longer there. One can think of buying physical copies not as the purchase of commodities, but as a form of support or solidarity for an approach to knowledge production and engaged research (particularly when purchasing directly from the publisher). The open access nature of this publication means that you can: • read and store this document free of charge • distribute it for personal use free of charge • print sections of the work for personal use • read or perform parts of the work in a context where no financial transactions take place However, it is against the purposes of Minor Compositions open access approach to: • gain financially from the work • sell the work or seek monies in relation to the distribution of the work • use the work in any commercial activity of any kind • profit a third party indirectly via use or distribution of the work • distribute in or through a commercial body (with the exception of academic usage within educational institutions) The intent of Minor Compositions as a project is that any surpluses generated from the use of collectively produced literature are intended to return to further the development and production of further publications and writing: that which comes from the commons will be used to keep cultivating those commons.

Underpinning this will be an ethnographicexamination of how the ethics of punk informs their views of remaining authentic and what they consider to be a sell out and betrayal of these values. I illustrate how such ethics have evolved and how they inform the daily practice of two chosen DiY punk communities in Leeds and Bradford. I show how thesecommunities reciprocally relate to each other. I ask such questionsas what do the participantsget out of what is often experiencedas hard work and toil, particularly it where is fraught with a seriesof dilemmas bound up in politics, ethics, identity and integrity. I offer a grounded theory of how and what ways those involved in DiY punk authenticatethemselves in their actions. This will demonstratehow and, more importantly, why DiY punks distinguish their ethical version of punk over and above what are taken as less favourable forms of punk.
