Protest Poetry
Posted on April 22, 2015 by Jeremy Sherman
In beginning to understand these three poems, "Skinhead", "Buried", and "The Idea of Ancestry" it becomes clear that all of these poems are protesting in different ways. In Patricia Smith's "Skinhead" we are introduced to the white supremacist who is clearly very bothered by the fact that "The coloreds and spics got 'em all" in talking about jobs. In Smith's second poem, "Buried" it is less clear what is being protested. However, I believe that what is being protested is this idea that people were being forced to literally bury their loved ones and the apparent PTSD it caused those digging the graves. As the title of Knight's poem suggests, the poem is protesting the idea of ancestry and the ridiculousness of the idea.
Protesting the idea of equality among races is not a 'cool' thing to do nowadays. When I first read "Skinhead" my first reaction was, "Wow, this is incredibly racist, nobody in their right mind would write this today." What I found fascinating is that Patricia Smith is not a white male who, as the poem suggests, lives in the south. She is a black woman writing using the idea of persona poetry. Through the use of this skinhead she is able to grapple with the racism that was present pre and post-civil war. Her imagery is extremely descriptive and she is able to force the reader to see the face that "Scraped pink and brilliant, apple-cheeked." Though this imagery everyone has the experience of being a skinhead yet each persons' interpretations of the skinhead is going to be based on their individual life experiences.
In contrast to "Skinhead" Smith's second poem "Buried" does not rely on the vivid imagery as much as it does on repetition. Upon reading the line "Plunge. Push. Lift. Toss it." in the third stanza for the first time the repetition struck me as off. It was the only line repeated so far and the two lines were back to back.However, after finishing the entire poem those two lines became an eery representation of the protest at this PTSD experienced while burying the dead, specifically what appears to be a father burying his son. The connection between searching for one's son under a pile of dolls and having to dig a grave for him is scary. What adds to this eeriness is the difference in spacing between the two lines in the two instances they appear. In the third stanza there is no extra space between the lines giving the reader that this is just a very repetitive process and it could keep going forever. However, in the second case there is a full line gap between the lines which I believe is there solely as a pause for effect. This pausing for dramatic effect is also the reason for the line saying "Toss-" and not "Toss it" as a way of depicting the harsh grasp of reality ripping him from his happy daydreams back to the horrible task at hand.
While the first two poems relied heavily on just one poetic convention, Knight relies on a combination of enjambment and long sentences to give the poem an un poemlike feel. That is to say that by writing in long sentences and enjambment "The Idea of Ancestry" has the feel of a rant more than a poem. This ties heavily into the idea that this poem is a protest against the idea of ancestry. Knight seems to mock the idea that she can share the name of an uncle who is no longer considered to be part of the family. In order to fully explain the long story behind her ancestry she must keep rambling on with very few breaks in between lines until she can explain her frustration with it.
My questions to the class are:
Do you see the poems as protesting something other than what I discussed/Is the protest achieved through a different poetic convention?
If we were not to know that Patricia Smith is a black woman alive today would that change how we read her poems? What effect does the actual author have on the persona found in persona poetry?
4 Responses to Protest Poetry
I like the idea you presented about "Buried" discussing a protest of having to bury children. When i read the poem i was not sure whether it was this or his job is a grave digger. Whichever it is, the idea of it causing PTSD is strong in this poem, especially with the rhythmic, thoughtless process of digging just done mechanically. Also, i did not pick up on the added line spacing which further justifies the idea of a traumatic experience. Reading it again, i think the memory of a dead son is present in the second to last line, "I want to feel his heat." There are many things a parent loves about a child and heat is usually not one of them until they become cold.
Aiyanna Nixon says:
Patricia Smith's poems "Skinhead" and "Buried" both read as if a male was the one behind the words. Knowing about the author beforehand almost ruins the experience Smith sets with her imagery. However, knowing the author is a black woman who was born in the late 50's gives context for the vivid sharp emotions felt in both poems.
Jeremy mentions, in commenting on "Buried," "Upon reading the line "Plunge. Push. Lift. Toss it." in the third stanza for the first time the repetition struck me as off. It was the only line repeated so far and the two lines were back to back. However, after finishing the entire poem those two lines became an eery representation of the protest at this PTSD experienced while burying the dead, specifically what appears to be a father burying his son." His interpretation of it being a protest of PTSD is an interesting one. The repetition is also for the "ticking jazz" rhythm (11).
"Buried almost seems as if a protest of letting go. The father figure of the poem digs but describes his progress as "trying to reach the next world with a spoon" (22). However, in the first stanza, in describing the ground the speaker states "there's nothing but mud" (1). This struggle of actually completing the task of burial parallels the struggle of letting go. The father has a memory of his son while digging, but before the reader hears the conclusion of the night time ritual the father goes back to digging. The father later says "I want to feel his heat and twist in my arms again. I have to dig" (44-45) as if the digging is what is keeping his son alive.
Yoni Rabinovitch says:
I think the simple fact that this poetry proves that in some way this poem has a comedic element (if that's a convention). I think it's playing off the individualistic movement in America. The line begins "they call me skinhead, and I got my own beauty." This could be making fun of mass market contemporary "life advice." By placing it in the context of a skinhead, a person one never would expect to be writing individualistic poetry, is quite ironic and funny. You almost empathize with skinhead, like "yea he has his own inner beauty and we should be accepting of that," which is ludicrous.
Debra Zarny says:
I had read half of "Skinhead" without realizing who the speaker was. Because I thought it was a protest, I thought Patricia Smith was the speaker and in my annotations I wrote "she." It was only until she first mentions that the words are coming from a male did I realize that it isn't coming from Smith, or even a female figure in general. I was stunned by the mention of "The coloreds and spics got 'em all" and all of the gruesome imagery that she mentions. A lot of it made me cringe because of the speaker's honesty, but I liked that it was truthful and not glossed over. Reading about her changed my harsh reaction because I realized that this important issue must be on her mind, and must be something important to her that she feels the need to protest about because it is her history.

Georgia ready for its first execution of the year
By Nick VaVerka
(J.W. Ledford Jr - Georgia Department Of Corrections)
It's time to roll out the Execution Desk, because Georgia's getting ready to serve up some justice. J.W. Ledford Jr. has been on death row for a long time, after being convicted of the 1992 robbery and murder of a doctor who lived near him.
Ledford was 20-years-old when he cut the throat of Harry Johnston, whose neck was cut so bad his head was nearly severed from his body.
A U.S. appeals court rejected Ledford's last minute appeal to postpone his execution by lethal injection and use a firing squad instead.
His lawyers claim the firing squad would be less painful than the "excruciating death" the lethal drug would cause him.
Georgia only uses one drug for executions, phenobarbital, which is used by states such as Texas in dozens of executions without major incidents.
If you're a murderer, you don't get the luxury of a peaceful death. You took another person's life. Once you do that you don't get any rights.
Here's to a smooth execution.

With clean crisp white flowers Clematis Henryii is one of the best of white flowering species. Large flowers to 7cm across with an attractive rib on each petal.
Heavy flowering through summer, the brilliant white of the flowers with brown anthers stands out well against the mid to dark green foliage.
New foliage is a bronze green which quickly turns to green in spring. One of the great things about Clematis Henryii is that it flowers almost continually through the season.
A cool moist shaded root run with the plant in a position where it can grow into the sun or light shade.
A position where support is available, a climbing frame, fence or pergola.
Clematis Henryii flowers on both new and old wood. Pruning is best carried out in late winter to spring. Remove completely any weak stems. Prune the rest of the plant back by 1/3 to strong buds higher up.
Train new growth so that it spreads across the trellis or growing frame.
This pruning regime may see m a little harsh, however it will produce the best looking plant and the most flowers.

Surahs Lahab-Ikhlās
These two surahs form a pair as regards the subject discussed in them. The first surah informs the Prophet (sws) of the divine punishment which awaits the leadership of the Quraish, particularly the greatest enemy of Tauheed, Abu Lahab and all his accomplices, while in the second surah the Prophet (sws) has been directed to clearly explain his real message -- the Tuaheed of the Creator of the worlds -- to the unbelievers and the People of the Book standing at their back after this decisive declaration of doom on this occasion of renunciation and migration in a manner that all hopes of any compromise should be dispelled in their minds.
Viewed thus, the subjects of migration and renunciation, and, of victory and glad tidings of the future which began in Surahs Maa`oon and Kauthar have reached their culmination after Surahs Kaafiroon and Nasr in these two surahs.
Surah Lahab
The surah is directed at the Prophet (sws) and its central theme is a prediction of doom for the greatest enemy of the Prophet (sws), Abu Lahab and his accomplices. It is evident from this prediction that these leaders of the Quraish have squandered all their chances of survival and in retribution of denying the Prophet (sws) are now, after his migration, under a constant threat of punishment.
It is evident from the contents of the surah that it was revealed in Mecca during the period of migration and renunciation in the Prophet's mission (sws) as the very final declaration to his people.
Surah Ikhlās
The surah is directed at the Prophet (sws) and its central theme is the decisive declaration of Tauheed by the Prophet (sws) which, on this occasion of migration and renunciation, was proclaimed by the Prophet (sws) as the very last word with his people.
It is evident from the contents of the surah that it was revealed in Mecca during the period of migration and renunciation of the Prophet's mission (sws) as the very final declaration to his people.
The hands of Abu Lahab have been broken and he himself has perished1. Neither did his wealth benefit him nor the [good]2 he earned. Soon shall this man [of glowing countenance] be put in a glowing Fire3 and [with him] his wife4 also such that [in Hell] she will be carrying firewood on her back [for her own self]5; [like a slave woman], there will be a twisted rope round her neck6.
Declare ye [O Prophet!]: that Allah7 is One and Alone8; Allah is with everyone9; He is neither father nor son10; and there is none like Him11.
1. The word 'hands' in accordance with classical Arabic usage is a metonym for 'power', and here it signifies Abu Lahab's accomplices and associates. These words revealed in Mecca are actually a great prediction of success for the Muslims and have not been used in the derogative sense as is generally understood. At a time, when no one could have imagined it, they foretell that the Prophet's enemies shall soon be humbled. Abu Lahab's name has been singled out here because it was he who stood apart among the enemies of the Prophet (sws) as regards his meanness and hatred for the Islamic message. Unlike the other chiefs, his enmity was not because of his ancestoral religion; it was, on the other hand, a matter of personal loss of status and position. The past - tense employed in this sentence actually indicates the certainty of the event which has yet to take place in the future -- a common figurative use in the Quran. History bears witness that almost two years later, this prediction came true and in the battle of Badr almost all the leaders of the Quraish were killed. Abu Lahab himself died of smallpox a week later inspite of the fact that he did not take any part in the battle.
2. This referes to the good deeds which he as the chief clergyman of the Baitullaah and as the overseer of its treasury did to put up a pretentious display of religiosity.
3. While in the previous verses the dreadful fate which awaits Abu Lahab in this world is foretold, this verse prognosticates the punishment of Hell he will encounter in the Hereafter. His glowing countenance, in retribution of his evil deeds, shall befittingly face the glowing fire of Hell.
4. Abu Lahab's wife Ummi Jameel was noted for her personal enmity against the Prophet (sws). Greed and pretense had encompassed her personality. As the first lady, she had an equal share in her husband's crimes and was actually the real motivation behind his crimes.
5. This is a vivid picture of helplessness and humiliation of Ummi Jameel in Hell. Her sins shall manifest themsleves in the firewood which she herself will carry and which will continuously be used in stoking the fire.
6. These words complete the picture of Ummi Jameel drawn in the previous verse. This particular state of hers will actually be in accordance with her deeds. If in this world, she wore heavy necklaces, she shall wear a heavy rope round her neck in the next world like slave women who collect wood.
7. The pronoun `huwa' (that) is the pronoun of the fact (dhameer-us-shaan), which is used when the implied meaning is so clearly understood between the speaker and to whom it is addressed that the mind instinctively jumps to its antecedent. After the advent of Islam the concepts of God's being and His attributes had become hot topics of debate. In particular, the question of Tauheed (monotheism) had become a burning issue. In the later part of the Meccan period, the People of the Book had also come forward to rally forth with the Quraish in opposing the Islamic mission. In these circumstances, the Prophet has been directed to unequivocally declare the Tauheed of the Almighty. Hu wallaah (that God) means `the God about whom you are debating and arguing is ...'
8. The word Ahad in one word describes that the Almighty is sole and singular in both His being and His attributes. In other words, He is Unique in all respects. It also follows from this that God has always existed, and that everything except Him is His creation.
9. Samad actually means a large rock behind which refuge is sought from an enemy attack. In many holy scriptures particularly in the Psalms of David, God has been called the Rock of help: 'The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer.' (Psalms:18). This attribute serves to clarify a philosophical misconception. A statement of the Almighty's uniqeness and singularity might depict Him as an aloof and unconcerned Creator. History also bears witness that this misconception has led many a nation to worship other beings as a means to procure the nearness of the Almighty.
10. Though the attribute Ahad was enough to negate the notion of Allah being a father or a son, yet since the Quraish, the Jews and the Christians -- all three of them were guilty of this holding this wrong view, the verse stresses this particular aspect. The Quraish regarded the angels to be the daughters of God. The Jews regarded Uzair as the son of God, while the Christians had established the Trinity of the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost.
11. That is He has no parallel or equal and is matchless and peerless. All those who have been created are His servants and slaves.

The Health News United Kingdom February 27 2018
A study by London doctors has revealed that pregnant women with high blood pressure can safely monitor their condition at home and avoid numerous hospital check-ups. About 1 in 10 expectant mothers have hypertension which, in a minority of cases, can lead to preeclampsia. The condition can be life-threatening to mother and child. The app, dubbed HaMpton (Home Monitoring of Hypertension in Pregnancy), has won a Health Service Journal award and been included on a NHS "accelerator" programme advancing the roll-out of new technology.
Stephen Fry has announced that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The author and broadcaster released a video recently revealing that he has undergone surgery. In a video posted on his website, he said that he had an operation before Christmas to remove lymph nodes. One in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Researchers at the University of Oxford wanted to clear up lingering questions about how effective medicine is in treating acute depression in adults. After painstakingly carrying out trials involving nearly 120,000 people, including patients taking 21 commonly prescribed antidepressants, the researchers found that all of the drugs were more effective than a placebo. According to the World Health Organisation, depression affects around 300 million people across the world.

A study by London doctors has revealed that pregnant women with high blood pressure can safely monitor their condition at home and avoid numerous hospital check-ups. About one in ten expectant mothers have hypertension which, in a minority of cases, can lead to preeclampsia. The condition can be life-threatening to mother and child.
Medics at Saint George's hospital in Tooting developed a smartphone app which they trialled with one hundred eight women. They gave them all a blood pressure cuff to use at home, and asked them to record the results in the app. Results just published, in the journal Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynaecology, found women who used the app were no worse off than fifty eight other mothers who were monitored in clinic.
Lead author Professor Asma Khalil said: "It is time to use existing technology in order to improve the way we look after pregnant women." The app, dubbed HaMpton (Home Monitoring of Hypertension in Pregnancy), has won a Health Service Journal award and been included on a NHS "accelerator" programme advancing the roll-out of new technology.
It is set to be used in other hospitals, including Croydon, Royal Surrey, East Surrey and possibly Northwick Park and North Middlesex. The app saved the NHS two hundred seventy eight pounds a week per patient – the equivalent to forty four million pounds a year if rolled out across the country. Patients having blood pressure checks often experience "white coat syndrome", where their ratings are artificially high because of the experience of being in hospital.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/02/23/stephen-fry-reveals-battle-prostate-cancer/
Stephen Fry has announced that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The author and broadcaster released a video recently revealing that he has undergone surgery. In a video posted on his website, he said that he had an operation before Christmas to remove lymph nodes. He said he had been told by doctors that "it's all been got".
He described the cancer as "an aggressive little bugger" but said he is now clear: "At the moment I'm fit and well and happy." Fry, sixty, discovered he had cancer after visiting his doctor for a flu jab. The doctor suggested he have a general check-up, which revealed that his PSA (prostate specific antigen) levels were high. He then had an MRI scan and a biopsy which confirmed the diagnosis.
One in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Fry said: "I felt my life was saved by early intervention so I would urge any of you men of a certain age to get your PSA levels checked."

Researchers at the University of Oxford wanted to clear up lingering questions about how effective medicine is in treating acute depression in adults. After painstakingly carrying out trials involving nearly one hundred twenty thousand people, including patients taking twenty one commonly prescribed antidepressants, the researchers found that all of the drugs were more effective than a placebo.
The analysis of more than five hundred trials did find that some medications worked better than others, however. It has been suggested that more than a million people per year in the UK should be given access to treatment for depression, through either drugs or talking therapies, with scientists saying the study proves that the drugs do work.
Andrea Cipriani, from Oxford's Department of Psychiatry said: "Under-treated depression is a huge problem and we need to be aware of that. "Among the drugs found to be more effective were amitriptyline, mirtazapine and sertraline, while fluoxetine – more widely known as Prozac – was considered one of the least effective.
According to the World Health Organisation, depression affects around three hundred million people across the world. NHS Digital statistics revealed last year that the number of prescriptions for antidepressants went up from fifty nine point five million to almost sixty three point six million between October two thousand fifteen and September two thousand sixteen.
Other treatments for depression include talking therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy and counselling.


Chris Holbeck says a rescue ring is never far away at his National Park Service Office along Omaha's riverfront.
Holbeck is a biologist there and used that ring when he came to the rescue a man who jumped off the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge and into the Missouri River Tuesday morning. "I tried to catch up to the guy and throw him the ring," Holbeck tells NewsRadio 1110 KFAB.
Holbeck says he could keep up with the man, but couldn't get to him. "I kept calling to him to keep his head above water and to swim toward shore. Eventually the boardwalk runs out and I lost sight of the guy."
Holbeck says at that point he feared the worst. "I thought he had drown. He had gone under water once that I saw. So I started searching the river bank and sure enough there he was and I pulled him from the river," Holbeck says.
Holbeck said he has seen several people jump from the bridge and has participated in several river rescues, but this was the first time he saved someone. The man pulled out of the river was taken to the hospital and is expected to recover.

The Cambridge Satchel Company: Edinburgh Pop-Up Store
British fashion, Rosie's Edinburgh
The Cambridge Satchel Company opens its latest shop – in Edinburgh!
My oxblood Cambridge Satchel and Edinburgh are probably two of the most featured things on my blog; you merely have to glance at Everything Looks Rosie to spot one or both. In fact, my stats tell me these are two key search terms via which people reach my blog (hello!). My satchel is practically vintage in fashion terms, has seen me through good and challenging times, and is just as at home at London Fashion Week as it is in the classroom. In the past, it's featured on Cambridge Satchel's website when they launched the oxblood classic collection, and in the Edinburgh guide I wrote for CSC last year. So when I heard they were opening a pop-up in Edinburgh, I couldn't think of a better combination.
Mine is certainly one busy satchel: it's survived bumps, scrapes, countless London commutes and many a Scottish downpour (not to mention a direct hit from a bowl of soup in the staffroom one day), but it's my constant companion and just keeps looking better with age. In the time since I purchased my satchel (saving any wages that weren't spent on London rent, and cheering up a particularly miserable February) and interviewed founder Julie Deane not long after, the Cambridge Satchel Company has gone from strength to strength. CSC continues to flourish as it remains so true to its roots, continuing to deliver its uniquely nostalgic appeal, fantastic quality and creative design.
The pop-up is one of two Scottish shops that have opened just in time for Christmas: one in Edinburgh and one in Glasgow's Royal Exchange Square. Edinburgh's pop-up shop is located at 63 George Street, and last night the shiny new store opened its doors for a specially festive evening to celebrate. There were miniature mince pies, tablet and mulled wine, and the new shop was decked out in all its festive finery. I seriously recommend a visit, although be warned – you might want to start re-thinking your Christmas list right now!
Julie talked me through their latest offerings, which include the beautiful Autumn Spice collection (I had my eye on the gorgeous teal satchel), stylish push lock bag (which transforms into a clutch) and new 'tiny satchel', which really is the cutest bag I've ever seen. I'm so glad CSC has come to Scotland and really admire brands that can think outside that London fashion bubble. The shop has a real cosy feel (it incorporates furniture from CSC's original Covent Garden abode, including gorgeous wooden dressers that I would quite like in my kitchen) and seems very at home on George Street – almost like it's always been there.
We were treated to a gorgeous leather keyring embossed with our initials as a parting gift, which you can see in action above. I had to go for matching oxblood, of course. It's the best event I've attended in some time – I hope CSC sticks around in Scotland, and I can't wait to see what's next for the brand too. It was great to meet Julie and her team in person, and thank you to Hartmann Media for inviting me along. It really does go to show: vision, a lot of hard work, a sense of humour and a dose of genuine loveliness can get you far in this world.

English language classes have been offered for a number of years. Over time, the program has expanded in size and scope and now is comprised of three parts: group classes, individual tutoring, and intercambios (hour-long sessions which enable English speakers to practice their Spanish and our students to enhance their abilities in English). See also Volunteer Opportunities for more detail.
The size of the program varies from season to season based on the number of volunteers available from English-speaking countries. Our volunteer teachers (who are sometimes fluent in Spanish) often have professional experience in teaching English as a second language. Our English curriculum has been modified over time and now embodies teaching objectives, course materials and evaluation procedures. The Center has also received a grant from the Oaxaca Lending Library Foundation to provide some basic textbook materials for our teachers and students.
In addition to offering group classes, the Center recruits volunteer tutors who meet individually with students once or twice a week to accommodate both student and volunteer schedules. These exchanges usually run for sixty to ninety minutes each.
Our students and volunteer visitors also can practice their English/Spanish skills in a series of intercambios. Many of these sessions take place at the Center, but others meet at a time and place chosen by the participants.
We encourage you to volunteer in this program when you are in Oaxaca.

Pop Montreal, besides giving schmooze-fests such as NXNE some competition on (oh say) a quarter of the budget with their September 29th to October 3rd event this year will also be curating Fringe Pop 2004, part of the St. Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival. It's coming up (June 10-20th) - there's a press conference today that'll announce which 12 artists are playing - I'll paste them tomorrow...
TOMORROW Tuesdays at the Green Room are reaching maximum capacity quite quickly in the game - recent mentions in the Mirror and the Hour (expect McGill students, old people and unfamiliar faces - in other words, it's over! Already?) are helping as well as word-of-mouth on the drink-specials and decent music being played. It's expected that Greenland will have the above show-space, the Mile End Cultural Centre, up and running quite quickly.

If you were wary of what would result from a room full of drunken indie kids smoking and making out last week (as I was, and thus, not in attendance, though I hear speak of a documentary film crew, twins and a Victoria ex-pat), this week should prove to be one step beyond revolting, I think.

Jean-Louie on Montreal's night life:
"The original name was 'Les Beaux Jeudis'. Today everyone refers to
the club as 'Thursdays'. That is the number one spot in town. That is where the golden youth meets and mates. But, not the very young; the 25-50 affluent young.
Jean-Louie on partying at the Port of Spain:
"Ten thousand people danced, screamed, jumped, hugged, whined, kissed, and finally got breakfast. They also got wet to the bones by powerful hoses
that failed to extinct their commitment of jumping-up until the last man
(or woman) dies. This forced shower was part of the spectacle."

Fight Club, Version 872348.
Here's a funny bit for you guys:
Hooligans jailed over fight plot.
Seventeen football hooligans have been jailed for having arranged to meet up
for a fight at a London rail station. All were issued banning orders and
jailed for a total of 38 years for plotting to commit violent disorder.
The charges relate to a fight in April 2002 at London's Maze Hill Station
between Charlton and Southampton fans, which left three men in hospital.
British Transport Police believed the men would have caused
trouble at Euro 2004 if they had not been banned.
At Kingston Crown Court, Surrey, on Friday, Judge Fergus Mitchell jailed
Steven David Carpenter, 39, of Eltham, for four years and 37-year-old Dave
Walker of Stafford, a history teacher said to have an "exemplary record",
for two years and three months.
Andrew McConville, 35, of Abbey Wood, William Joseph Greenall, 32, of
Plumstead, Woolwich, Neil John Shaw, 39, of Erith, Christopher David Bowles,
22, of Southampton and Stephen Trevor Openshaw, 30, of Leigh,
Lancashire, were all jailed for two years.
Walker, a married father, was considered an "outstanding teacher" and
is said to have received glowing tributes from pupils and staff at the
Birmingham boys' school where he teaches.
Another ten men had already been given jail terms and both
groups have received six-year banning orders.
Police discovered, after searching houses and seizing computers
and mobile phones, that the fight between the two groups had been deliberately planned.

Clinical sexologist Ian Kerner's recently published book "She Comes First" may or may not spark an actual interest in properly engaging in cunnilingus, but I think it's safe to assume that the overwhelming majority of buyers of this book will be females and after a while, most copies will find their way to the bookshelf in the rumpus room, alongside "Futureshock" and Dr. Benjamin Spock's "Baby & Childcare" to educate the furtive minds of adolescent children who don't have access to Vice Magazine.

Strut Magazine: This magazine is certainly coming into its own and moving away from the Nylon template it adopted initially. Witness the "Things That Obsess Us" listing from the most recent issue for "Guys Who Wear White Jeans." Damn straight.
Sometimes I think that aging wunderkind Zac Posen should be designing bedding for Sears instead of uber-hyped clothing for dreadfully boring actresses, which is a clever little way of saying that I'm unimpressed with his Autumn 2004 pieces...
Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCullough of Proenza Schouler, on the other hand, have done some impressive things with their most recent ready-to-wear bits, even if the presence of the colour purple rubs me the wrong way.

Afrobeat (along with dub/dancehall/funk/soul) will be dropped by some unnamed DJ at Korova (3908 St. Laurent Blvd) tonight. I'll be there, doing research and ordering plenty of gingerales.
I don't know if I'm, but I've got a hunch that this Ambulance LTD band is really just a regrouping of the Sea & Cake. Think about it - no one's been paying any attention to Chicago over the past couple of years, so Sam Prekop and the rest of the group, fresh from breakups with their two-timing girlfriends, make the decision to re-locate to New York and wallow in post-shoegazer, post-relationship, post-indie-fame agony. Timed perfectly with the whole cult built around Lost In Translation (ever notice that most American films over the past years that have received critical blowjobs have been the films with the well-compiled soundtrack? Wes Anderson films, for example) and Kevin Shields re-emergence (from either 1) an Essex recording studio or 2) A decade long ecstasy binger with Mani and Bobbi Gillespie from Primal Scream). See you at O Patro Vys tonight, Montreal residents.
Backlash vs. Backlash
As a group of one of the only hipsters left who've been to University but still maintain a faith in binary oppositions and a distance from Christianity, Goldkicks is proud to champion Vice Magazine - as it's become quite fashionable in most circles to pronounce one's self tired with the whole schlock, as well as 'shocked' by revelations concerning the political affiliations and undertones (well, yes, overtones, I suppose - it took this long to figure all this out, by the way?); as the Vice backlash moves into full-swing, we're 100% behind them and any rabidly anti-Semitic, crypto-fascist, blatantly heterosexist, homophobic, pseudo-erotic, tongue-in-cheek pronouncements that may be decreed from the lofty heights of whatever Manhattan skyscraper's 28th floor they're occupying, if only to keep advertising revenue away from neutered upstarts like Trucker Magazine (Toronto? Fucking Toronto???). Perhaps Larry Flynt and Hustler will buy Vice up, as they did Big Brother in the 90s and sanitize it.
Anyway, that was all a big segue into something of interest, that's occuring out there away from computer monitors and messageboard feuds and op-ed columns on e-zines - that is, CBC Radio 3's "Connect The Dots" tour of Music, Photography & Multimedia will be stopping in Montreal on Wednesday night. Featured performers will be The Unicorns, Edelweissian synth-popster Leiderhosen Lucil and Canada's third-rate contribution to a four-year old trend (comprised of [unwarranted personal attack against strangers follows] (I assume) 50% half-assed art students and 50% recovering math-rockers) that hasn't gone away yet, Controller.Controller. (Unless you're a member of PiL or Glass Candy and the Shattered Theatre, using the term "Death Disco" in promotional material will earn you nothing but scorn... Or an opening slot for the Blood Brothers somewhere in Missouri.) Tim Barber, photo editor of VICE MAGAZINE will be in attendance as well. Show up. Tell him how much you love him, support the ideological intent of Vice magazine in the war against the post-Marxist barbarians, and how he's not as creepy as Terry Richardson. Maybe he won't be there. I bet it'll be just the Burlesque show photography. Christ. That trend should have never got off the ground. God-damn rockabillies and Bettie Page haircuts and flame-covered things and leopard print garbage.

Thirst No More.
The Ponys are from Chicago and have received appreciatory nods in print from Byron Coley and Thurston Moore. You might remember Byron from Forced Exposure zine, or from that "Shield Around The K" video, wherein he dissects the appeal and biography of Sven Gali and opinion-divider Calvin Johnson. This Ponys band has a new album out on In The Red Records called "Laced With Romance" as well as a new single. They're going to be in the UK at the end of this month, followed by a 15 date American tour that will see them finishing up in New York at the Village Voice's Siren Festival. Speaking of the UK, did you read the new flaccid-as-hell Vice magazine? I found a copy of it on my roommate's bed this morning and took it so I could read something on the bus (I knew true shame when I looked across the aisle and spotted two twentysomething girls reading the very same issue) and skimmed over the Libertines' A&R guy's brief memoirs, revealing such shocking things as (quelle surprise) a young and not-to-bright kid with a record deal and a small bit of artistic talent got in over his head with drugs and sycophants. I hope there's an enterprising editor out there that can convince Jay McIrney to hammer out a novel based on this wearisome cliche and thus embarass the rest of us to such an extent that we stop devouring these redundant tales of debauchery and excess.
Couple of notes of interest for Montreal residents...
Nightlife Magazine, the 3/4 French publication that is generally (and sadly) unremarkable as a Vice magazine knockoff, but not nearly as obnoxiously designed as Toronto's Trucker magazine, has a review of Wolf Parade's final show at Spencer's loft in the newest issue, in French, accompanied with an over-exposed shot of Dan Beckner (the only full-time standing member of Wolf Parade) sweating it out.
I stumbled upon a pretty decent Montreal resource called We Love Musique that has a fair amount of music reviews, information on hang-outs and bands, show photographs and the usual forums to gripe and complain about bouncers or crappy DJs in. There's also some startlingly awful photography in the Photo section, but maybe the editorial staff owed the photographers a favour.
Anyone in Montreal know an accomplished drummer who could deal with Afrobeat rhythms but isn't a hippy? Yeah, yeah, impossible, I know.
Destroyer frontman Dan Bejar

Safety check-ins are crucial if you're working alone or in isolation. This applies whether you're outside in a remote location, in an office, or in a store.
Happy Valentine's Day! On this day of the couple, let's talk about being alone – more specifically, being alone at work. If we work alone or in isolation, we need someone to check in on us. It's just in case we're ever injured or have an emergency and can't make our own call for help.
I talked about this with an archaeologist who works on forestry blocks. She and her coworkers survey landforms to look for any areas that may have been First Nations' villages or hunting locations. They're often many kilometres into the woods, seeking artifacts and history. Sometimes they're out of cellphone range.
"Rarely are you working alone but you could be up to 100 metres apart, so you aren't necessarily within yelling range," she says. In such cases, they use hand-held radios.
Each member of their crew checks in with a designated check-in person. It's usually by text or phone.
"We have a back-up check-in person if we can't get a hold of that person or if they don't respond. And then once we're are out of cell service, we always carry a satellite telephone," she says.
B.C. employers must plan for the safety of people who work alone or in isolation. WorkSafeBC describes working alone or in isolation as "working in circumstances where assistance is not readily available in case of an emergency, injury or poor health." Depending on the situation, employers need to establish how often check-ins are required. For more details, see section 4.21, Procedures for checking well-being of worker, in B.C.'s Occupational Health and Safety Regulation.
People who work in retail or other small businesses have different safety issues to consider. You can find out more in the handbook Working Alone: A Handbook for Small Business and other resources available on the Working alone or in isolation web page on worksafebc.com.
Unfortunately, employers in these situations need safety procedures to protect lone workers against acts of violence from the public. I wrote about this in my post, Risks of working late-night retail. Also see Personal safety back-up for lone hotel workers and Working alone in different industries.
Do you have anything to say about working alone or in isolation? Do tell!


The Cloud Standards Customer Council (CSCC) has published a new reference architecture to assist enterprise IT professionals with the integration requirements of hybrid cloud computing. IT environments are now fundamentally hybrid in nature – devices, systems, and people are spread across the globe, and at the same time virtualized. Achieving integration across this ever-changing environment, and doing so at the pace of modern digital initiatives, is a significant challenge. This deliverable explains the core reference architecture and concepts for hybrid integration in the enterprise. It is available for download at: http://www.cloud-council.org/deliverables/cloud-customer-architecture-for-hybrid-integration.htm.
Hybrid integration can be looked at from many perspectives including application, data, and infrastructure. This document positions hybrid integration from an application perspective, and presents the reference architecture as a seamless integration from cloud to on-premises for events, APIs, and data.
The CSCC authors will host a complimentary webinar on March 9, 2017 from 11:00am – 12:00pm ET to introduce the whitepaper. Attendees will learn best practices from leading-edge enterprises that are starting to leverage a hybrid integration platform to take advantage of best-of-breed, cloud-based and on-premises integration approaches. Event details are posted on the CSCC's website at www.cloud-council.org/events.

Journalists for children and women rights and protection of environment in Macedonia - JCWE
Country or Region:
I am one of the founders of the Journalist Environment Center in 1997 and Journalists for children and women rights and protection of environment in Macedonia , where I'm currently president. In addition, I serve as Chief and Editor in PIAR and Chief and editor in weekly JOURNAL.
Journalists for children and women rights and protection of environment in Macedonia first used the tactic "Sending out an SMS" at the time of the presidential election when Macedonia's ex president died in a plane crash (2004). It was a sensitive time for all macedonian citizens and sending out an SMS message campaign wasn't accepted well.
However, for our members it was most intersting and something new and we decided to repeat it for the national election last year. In this period we worked on the project to gain the biggest involvement of women in political life in Macedonia.
We used the New Tactics examples and did something similar with the Macedonian mobile operator. We prepared two messages which we sent to women via mobile phone to highlight women and encourage women to vote for women. The project was a great success because Macedonia now has 29 percent women in parliament. Macedonia is now a leader in the region.
As a journalist I have served in many capacities and covered many issues, including my experience as a war correspondant in Vukovar, the war in ex-Yugoslavia (1995); in Valona-Saranda, the civil war in Albania (1997); Kooks, Tropoja, Urosevac – visiting illegal arms camp in Albania and Kosovo (2001); and Reporting from the Macedonian arm conflict. Currently, I'm correspondent for ENS (Environmental News Service) from Macedonia; Leader in BANSA (Balkan Action Network for Small Arms - this is a network for exchange between journalists from the Balkan area who work on this issue); Coordinator on Informative and press center on NGOs who work on the disarmament process; Coordinator on campaign FOR LIFE WITHOUT WEAPONS; Trainer for journalists for sensitizing the public on small arms and the need for disarmament in the Balkan countries; and National Coordinator for Macedonia for the international campaign on CONTROL ARMS which is organized by IANSA, Amnesty International and OXFAM.

The Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine' s Statewide Campus System has been named one of five regional assessment training centers by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education , or ACGME.
Other sites recognized are Vanderbilt University, UCLA, the Cleveland Clinic and the ACGME's Chicago headquarters. Each regional site features local instructors partnering with ACGME faculty to teach critical methods for assessment in a practical application including significant time devoted to medical simulation. The regional centers will also share resources and training tips.
The college is the only osteopathic school and the only center that is sponsored by a community-based training consortium.
The training, although focused on ACGME milestones, will prepare clinical faculty to evaluate residents and students. The ACGME milestones provide structure for competency-based assessments to monitor resident growth in competence through residency. The college's first intensive assessment training will be held in fall 2018.
Training sessions for the Statewide Campus System's core faculty members who will teach the course takes place this fall and next spring. Assessment courses will be offered in East Lansing, Detroit or Clinton Township.
Faculty members from anywhere in the U.S. are welcome to attend the assessment course offered by MSU. The course will be free for those who are SCS members.
