  • 29Th June 2003 Pigs May Fly Over TV Studios by Bob Quinn If Brian
    29th June 2003 Pigs May Fly Over TV Studios By Bob Quinn If Brian Dobson, Irish Television’s chief male newsreader had been sacked for his recent breach of professional ethics, pigs would surely have taken to the air over Dublin. Dobson, was exposed as doing journalistic nixers i.e. privately helping to train Health Board managers in the art of responding to hard media questions – from such as Mr. Dobson. When his professional bilocation was revealed he came out with his hands up – live, by phone, on a popular RTE evening radio current affairs programme – said he was sorry, that he had made a wrong call. If long-standing Staff Guidelines had been invoked, he might well have been sacked. Immediately others confessed, among them Sean O’Rourke, presenter of the station’s flagship News At One. He too, had helped train public figures, presumably in the usual techniques of giving soft answers to hard questions. Last year O’Rourke, on the live news, rubbished the arguments of the Chairman of Primary School Managers against allowing advertisers’ direct access to schoolchildren. O’Rourke said the arguments were ‘po-faced’. It transpires that many prominent Irish public broadcasting figures are as happy with part-time market opportunities as Network 2’s rogue builder, Dustin the Turkey, or the average plumber in the nation’s black economy. National radio success (and TV failure) Gerry Ryan was in the ‘stable of stars’ run by Carol Associates and could command thousands for endorsing a product. Pop music and popcorn cinema expert Dave Fanning lucratively opened a cinema omniplex.

  • Guida Junior Eurovision 2016
    JUNIOR EUROVISION SONG CONTEST: LA FESTA EUROPEA DELLA MUSICA, A MISURA DI BAMBINO Cos’è lo Junior Eurovision Song Contest? E’ la versione “junior” dell’Eurovision Song Contest, ovvero il più grande concorso musicale d’Europa ed è organizzato, come il festival degli adulti dalla EBU, European Broadcasting Union, l’ente che riunisce le tv e radio pubbliche d’Europa e del bacino del Mediterraneo. Lo Junior Eurovision si rivolge ai bambini e ragazzi dai 9 ai 14 anni (età abbassata da questa edizione, fino al 2015 era 10-16), che abbiano avuto o meno esperienze canore precedenti (regola introdotta nel 2008: prima dovevano essere esordienti assoluti) L’idea è nata nel 2003 prendendo spunto da concorsi per bambini organizzati nei paesi Scandinavi, dove l’Eurovision Song Contest (quello dei grandi) è seguito quasi come una religione. Le prime due edizioni furono infatti ospitate proprio da Danimarca e Norvegia. Curiosamente però, dopo le prime edizioni, i paesi Scandinavi si sono fatti da parte, eccezion fatta per la Svezia. Come funziona lo Junior Eurovision Song Contest? Esattamente come allo Eurovision dei grandi, possiamo dunque dire che sono “le televisioni” a concorrere, ciascuna con un proprio rappresentante. Rispetto alla rassegna degli adulti, ci sono alcune sostanziali differenze: Il cantante che viene selezionato (o il gruppo) deve essere rigorosamente della nazionalità del paese che rappresenta. L’unica eccezione è stata consentita per la Repubblica di San Marino (quest’anno assente). Nella rassegna dei “grandi” non ci sono invece paletti in tal senso ma piena libertà. Le canzoni devono essere eseguite obbligatoriamente in una delle lingue nazionali almeno per il 70% della propria durata, che deve essere compresa fra 2’45” e 3’ e completamente inedite al momento della presentazione ufficiale sul sito della rassegna o della partecipazione al concorso di selezione.

  • Symbol I Typ Symboliczny W Polityce Kultura, Dyskurs, Działanie
    Monika Banaś uNIWersytet JagiellońSKI Symbol i typ symboliczny w polityce Kultura, dyskurs, działanie Wstęp Spośród wymiarów ludzkiej aktywności trudno jest wskazać te, które pozostają nietknięte oddziaływaniem symbolu i dzia- łaniem symbolicznym człowieka. Określenia typu homo sapiens, homo faber, homo viator, homo ludens, homo oeconomicus wskazują na specyficzne dyspozycje naszego gatunku, zdolnego do obser- wacji, refleksji i autorefleksji. Ta ostatnia nakazuje uzupełnić po- wyższą deskrypcję o zoon politikon i homo symbolicus1. Okazuje się bowiem, że nasze wspólnotowe i jednostkowe istnienie z reguły zależne jest od zdolności współpracy w ramach społeczeństwa. Co więcej, w działaniach tych często posiłkujemy się symbolem oraz typem symbolicznym, ufając mniej lub bardziej świadomie w moc ich oddziaływania oraz skuteczność. Egzemplifikacją 1 Zoon politikon (istota społeczna) – określnie użyte przez Arystotelesa, który podkreślał szczególne predyspozycje człowieka do wspólnotowego ży- cia, tworzenia i gospodarowania; homo symbolicus z kolei odnosi się do koncep- cji przedstawionej przez Ernsta Cassirera w Eseju o człowieku (Esej o człowieku. Wstęp do filozofii kultury, Warszawa 1977). 98 Monika Banaś tegoż są przedstawione w niniejszym tekście wybrane kampanie polityczno-społeczne, które zostały przeprowadzone na przeło- mie wieków XX i XXI w państwach należących do tzw. zachod- niego kręgu cywilizacyjnego (Irlandia oraz Islandia). Przykłady te posłużyły do skierowania uwagi na formę i treść dyskursu politycznego będącego przejawem specyficznej

    EVERLYPEDIA (formerly The Everly Brothers Index – TEBI) Coordinated by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik EVERLYPEDIA PART 2 E to J Contact us re any omissions, corrections, amendments and/or additional information at: [email protected] E______________________________________________ EARL MAY SEED COMPANY - see: MAY SEED COMPANY, EARL and also KMA EASTWOOD, CLINT – Born 31st May 1930. There is a huge quantity of information about Clint Eastwood his life and career on numerous websites, books etc. We focus mainly on his connection to The Everly Brothers and in particular to Phil Everly plus brief overview of his career. American film actor, director, producer, composer and politician. Eastwood first came to prominence as a supporting cast member in the TV series Rawhide (1959–1965). He rose to fame for playing the Man with No Name in Sergio Leone’s Dollars trilogy of spaghetti westerns (A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) during the 1960s, and as San Francisco Police Department Inspector Harry Callahan in the Dirty Harry films (Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, The Enforcer, Sudden Impact and The Dead Pool) during the 1970s and 1980s. These roles, along with several others in which he plays tough-talking no-nonsense police officers, have made him an enduring cultural icon of masculinity. Eastwood won Academy Awards for Best Director and Producer of the Best Picture, as well as receiving nominations for Best Actor, for his work in the films Unforgiven (1992) and Million Dollar Baby (2004). These films in particular, as well as others including Play Misty for Me (1971), The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), Pale Rider (1985), In the Line of Fire (1993), The Bridges of Madison County (1995) and Gran Torino (2008), have all received commercial success and critical acclaim.

Fifty-four years after Germany played host to the second ever Eurovision Song Contest, the musical jamboree comes to Düsseldorf this May. It’s a very different world since ARD staged the show in 1957 with just 10 nations in a small TV studio in Frankfurt. This year, a record 43 countries will take part in the three shows, with a potential audience of 35,000 live in the Esprit Arena. All 10 nations from 1957 will be on show in Germany, but only two of their languages survive. The creaky phone lines that provided the results from the 100 judges have been superseded by state of the art, pan-continental technology that involves all the 125 million viewers watching at home. It’s a very different show indeed. Back in 1957, Lys Assia attempted to defend her Eurovision crown and this year Germany’s Lena will become the third artist taking a crack at the same challenge.

  • There's a Common Misconception About Eurovision Songs

After a year in storage, it’s time to dust off Europe’s most peculiar pop tradition and watch as singers from every corner of the continent come to do battle. As ever, we’ve compiled a full guide to the most bizarre, brilliant and boring things the contest has to offer... ////////////////////////////////// The First Half...............3-17 Cypriot Satan worshipping! Homemade Icelandic indie-disco! 80s movie montages and gigantic Russian dolls! Unusually for Eurovision, the first half features some of this year’s hot favourites, so you’ll want to be tuned in from the start. The Second Half.............19-33 Finnish nu-metal! Angels with Tourette’s! A Ukrainian folk- rave that sounds like Enya double-dropping and Flo Fucking Rida!
