Bare Facts That the Plan Was Needed ‘To Get a Clear and Objective Assessment of Our Strengths and Weaknesses, and Start Planning for the Long Term’ ED971128Issue 922.qxd 07/05/98 16:12 Page 1 (1,1) Issue 922 - Weekly Friday 28th November 1997 Students Union to bring in consultants Union to benefit from shake-up, but debate over detail goes on... The Students Union Executive last week decided to press ahead with plans to hire consultants to carry out a wide-ranging review of the services offered to students by the Union. The report is to include ‘customer’ sur- veys to look for demand for new services, as well as an analysis of the existing ones. Union President Nevin ‘Bob’ Moledina yesterday told Bare Facts that the plan was needed ‘to get a clear and objective assessment of our strengths and weaknesses, and start planning for the long term’. The plan came in for criticism from Union Returning Officer Andy Gale, who speaks out on page 3. .. orities? This is your chance to make a differ- Wendy Bowater ence!

  • Home Life: the Meaning of Home for People Who Have Experienced Homelessness
    Home life: the meaning of home for people who have experienced homelessness By: Sarah Elizabeth Coward A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Social Sciences Department of Sociological Studies September 2018 Abstract ‘Home’ is widely used to describe a positive experience of a dwelling place (shelter). It is about a positive emotional connection to a dwelling place, feeling at ‘home’ in a dwelling place, where both physiological and psychological needs can be fulfilled. This portrayal of ‘home’, however, is not always how a dwelling place is experienced. A dwelling place can be a negative environment, i.e. ‘not-home’, or there may be no emotional attachment or investment in a dwelling place at all. Both circumstances receive little attention in the literature. This research explores the realities of ‘home’ by delving into the ‘home’ lives of seventeen individuals who had experienced a range of different housing situations, including recent homelessness, moving to a (resettlement) sole tenancy and then moving on from that tenancy. Participants were asked to recall their housing histories, from their first housing memory as a child up to the time of interviewing. For each housing episode, they were asked to describe the circumstances of their life at the time, for example relationships, employment and education. They were also asked to reflect on their housing experiences. Similarities and differences of experience are explored according to gender and type of housing situation. This research tells the story of lives characterised by housing and social instability, often triggered by a significant change in social context in childhood.

  • 2 a Quotation of Normality – the Family Myth 3 'C'mon Mum, Monday
    Notes 2 A Quotation of Normality – The Family Myth 1 . A less obvious antecedent that The Simpsons benefitted directly and indirectly from was Hanna-Barbera’s Wait ‘til Your Father Gets Home (NBC 1972–1974). This was an attempt to exploit the ratings successes of Norman Lear’s stable of grittier 1970s’ US sitcoms, but as a stepping stone it is entirely noteworthy through its prioritisation of the suburban narrative over the fantastical (i.e., shows like The Flintstones , The Jetsons et al.). 2 . Nelvana was renowned for producing well-regarded production-line chil- dren’s animation throughout the 1980s. It was extended from the 1960s studio Laff-Arts, and formed in 1971 by Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive Smith. Its success was built on a portfolio of highly commercial TV animated work that did not conform to a ‘house-style’ and allowed for more creative practice in television and feature projects (Mazurkewich, 1999, pp. 104–115). 3 . The NBC US version recast Feeble with the voice of The Simpsons regular Hank Azaria, and the emphasis shifted to an American living in England. The show was pulled off the schedules after only three episodes for failing to connect with audiences (Bermam, 1999, para 3). 4 . Aardman’s Lab Animals (2002), planned originally for ITV, sought to make an ironic juxtaposition between the mistreatment of animals as material for scientific experiment and the direct commentary from the animals them- selves, which defines the show. It was quickly assessed as unsuitable for the family slot that it was intended for (Lane, 2003 p.

    DEFTONES LIVE 2022 Alternative Metal Legenden am 26. Juni 2022 in der edel-optics.de Arena in Hamburg – Bereits gekaufte Karten behalten ihre Gültigkeit! Aktuelles Album ›Ohms‹ seit September 2020 verfügbar 2022 kehrt mit den Deftones eine der einflussreichsten, innovativsten und langlebigsten Bands des Alternative Metal zurück auf die Bühnen der Republik. Auch nach mehr als drei Dekaden der Bandgeschichte bringen die fünf Kalifornier um Sänger Chino Moreno ihre Mischung aus tonnenschweren Gitarrenriffs, verträumten Melodien und mächtigen Drums mit unbändiger Spielfreude unter die Leute. Die Geschichte der Deftones beginnt bereits 1988 in der kalifornischen Hauptstadt Sacramento, wo die drei High School-Freunde Chino Moreno (Gesang), Stephen Carpenter (Gitarre) und Abe Cunningham (Schlagzeug) sich treffen um gemeinsam zu jammen. Wenig später stößt Bassist Chi Cheng hinzu, es folgt eine erste Demo EP mit vier Songs und sie beginnen live zu spielen - zuerst in Sacramento, später auch in und um San Francisco und Los Angeles. Bis zum Debütalbum ›Adrenaline‹ vergehen jedoch noch ein paar Jahre und dieses ist anfangs auch wenig erfolgreich. Durch großes Engagement und das unaufhörliche Touren spricht sich jedoch schnell herum, dass diese vier Jungs aus Nordkalifornien mit ihrem rohen, energetischen Sound jeden Club zum Kochen bringen. Der Durchbruch innerhalb der Alternative- und Metalszene gelingt dann 1997 mit dem Nachfolger ›Around the Fur‹. Songs wie ›My Own Summer (Shove It)‹ und ›Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)‹ werden zu internationalen Hymnen und Wegbereitern für die Nu- Metal-Bewegung der späten Neunziger. Es folgen Auftritte auf Festivals wie dem Pinkpop, Roskilde und Ozzfest und der Warped Tour. Ein Song schafft es auf den Soundtrack des ikonischen ersten Teils der Matrix-Reihe und macht die Deftones einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit bekannt.
