PSNI - up to old RUC tricks
national / rights, freedoms and repression / other press Wednesday June 14, 2006 12:32 by Connla Young   image 1 image
Nationalists in Co Derry have accused the PSNI of using “heavy-handed tactics” after a nationalist youth had bones broken in a hand during a weekend incident.

The 17-year-old was among a small group of nationalists who gathered at a mural dedicated to the hunger strikers on Sunday at Moneysharvin Road, outside Maghera. Local people were alerted after a minibus full of loyalist bandsmen stopped at the mural at around 11.30pm on Friday. It is understood they were returning from a parade held earlier in the night in nearby Magherafelt. read full story / add a comment
20 years since the death of Borges

It might not seem it, but 20 years have passed since the death of Jorge Lluis Borges in Geneva on the 14th of June 1986.

He shared the Nobel Prize for literature with Samuel Beckett.
He learnt Japanese at 90 and was thought by everyone to be very brainy.
His father was an anarchist. He had a wonky eye. Everyone loved him & humoured him.
The cruelest thing you could say about him was "sure he didn't get out enough & spent too much time on the mammy & the demonologies"

"Mass clearances during the Irish Famine were made possible by the landlords' use of the infamous bailiffs - The Crowbar Brigade. Their actions combined with the presence of police were likely to quell any thought of serious resistance by tenants / indigenous people who 'must be taught by the strong arm of the law that they have no power to oppose or resist'." http://www.nde.state.ne.us/SS/irish/unit_3.html

Well, is that right?

Limerick County Council brought in their own Cro-bar Construction Brigade accompanied by An Garda Síochána again this morning in a staged attempt to push the polluted River Deel water pipeline past the 'white line', which was held again this morning by local residents, mostly women, including Orla Kaiser's mother Joan Hayes and Tom Clarke's wife Breda Clarke. Joan and Breda showed no fear in a powerful statement to Gardaí, Limerick County Council and national media, saying they are prepared to go jail if necessary, with Orla, to defend their rights and their Spring Water. read full story / add a comment

RIP Gyorgy Ligeti

Gyorgy Ligeti one of the late 20th ventury composers died on the 12th of June 2006 in Austria where he held citizenship. Born in Transylvania in 1923, a Hungarian Jew of the post Austro-Hungarian Empire he overcame an early disability which caused him to look like Transylvanian to compose quite good music. Good enough to get into movies like 2001 Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick the man who faked the Moon Landing videos. Everyone who met Gyorgy Ligeti liked him. His rythms were cool. He'll be sincerely missed. He made friends. He wrote a piece for 100 metronomes (putting the itch into ticking things). No-one had a bad word to say about him. Professor Ligeti was in no common sense of the word a popular man. & sincere with it.

Here are some sites to learn more about the music & maybe hear more of it. ( Put it in adverts.) read full story / add a comment

Websters (unabridged ) International Dictionary gives the physics of astigmatism as
" A defect of an optical system(as a Lens or mirror) in consequence of which rays from a
single point of an object fail to meet in a single focal point thus causing the image
of a point to be drawn out into a line and the images of lines having a certain direction
to be less distinct than those of lines transverse to that direction." read full story / add a comment
