In 1971 Johnny Thunders formed the New York Dolls, a band of transvestites, and John Cale (of the Velvet Underground's fame) recorded Jonathan Richman's Modern Lovers, while Alice Cooper went on stage with his "horror shock" show. In London, Malcom McLaren opened a boutique that became a center for the non-conformist youth. The following year, 1972, was the year of David Bowie's glam-rock, but, more importantly, Tom Verlaine and Richard Hell formed the Neon Boys, while Big Star coined power-pop. Finally, unbeknownst to the masses, in august 1974 a new band debuted at the CBGB's in New York: the Ramones. The future was brewing, no matter how flat and bland the present looked. Decadence-rock 1969-75 TM, ®, Copyright © 2005 Piero Scaruffi All rights reserved. Rock'n'roll had always had an element of decadence, amorality and obscenity. In the 1950s it caused its collapse and quasi-extinction.

  • A Learning Situation
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by NORA - Norwegian Open Research Archives A LEARNING SITUATION Views from the National Enrichment and Learning Program in St. Lucia, Eastern Caribbean Harald Schønning Master of Philosophy in Comparative and International Education, Institute for Educational Research UNIVERSITY OF OSLO June 29, 2007 Abstract Adult education has generally held a high profile around the world in the last decade, but in the Caribbean region adult education is still to be seen as a remedial necessity rather than a developmental imperative. Today we are facing a change in the global economy, a major demographic transition, and increased educational demands suited a growing knowledge-based society. To St. Lucia and other small states, these challenges are more pressing than elsewhere. The Governor General of St. Lucia (Head of State) has recognised the importance of human capital in economic growth, and has therefore made an obligation to direct social and personal development within the wider context of lifelong learning. What does the St. Lucian Ministry of Education, Human Resource Development, Youth and Sport do to accommodate these challenges, and how do they meet the adult learners in their aspiration for basic or continuing education? This study describes how learners and facilitators1 interact in courses set by the National Enrichment and Learning Program (NELP). I have gathered empirical data, examined theories and studied NELP’s philosophical and conceptual framework, to better understand what I have called ”a learning situation”. I believe this learning situation to be a micro dimension or a reflection of the society and NELP’s position in it, at a personal, theoretical, and practical level.

Es war nach Souvenir und Joan of Arc die dritte Single-Auskopplung aus dem Studio-Album Architecture & Morality. Um Verwechselungen mit der Single Joan of Arc zu vermeiden, wählten OMD den Titel Maid of Orleans. Es ist im deutschsprachigen Raum die bis heute erfolgreichste Single der Band.

Chair, Canadian Index of Wellbeing Advisory Board Senior Fellow, Political Studies, University of Saskatchewan; Atkinson Economic Justice Fellow; Commissioner on the Future of Health Care in Canada; Former Premier of Saskatchewan To Canadian Doctors of Medicare 25th Anniversary Celebration of the Canada Health Act Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada August 16, 2009 [Document from http://ciw.ca] 1. Introduction Good evening everyone. It’s wonderful to join you on this historic evening celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Canada Health Act. Let me start by thanking Canadian Doctors for Medicare for your kind invitation to speak. Thank you Ryan (Meili) for your warm introduction. I’ve come to accept that the older I get the more my introductions sound like eulogies, but let me assure you I have miles to go before I sleep. I can’t think of a better place to mark this anniversary. Many of you know that I’m a Saskatoon native, born and bred, and I take pride in the fact that the Broadway Theatre is community-owned and operated. Those of you who are from other parts of the country may not know that this theatre was built in 1945, the very same year that the Province of Saskatchewan issued government health-care cards to all pensioners, all women on mother's allowance, and all disabled people in Saskatchewan, entitling them to full medicare coverage including drugs. I’m very pleased to be here, and I’m even more pleased to serve as Danielle Martin’s warm-up act.
