Pugh Hand
Pugh Hand
Can somebody please annotate this poem for me because I really don't understand it that much.?
Nothing happened here.
There was no demonstration: there were never
young people singing in this square,
And if there were,
they went home in good order,filing out
at the army’ s direction. Or if not,
then you could hardly wonder at what
you say they got.
though they didn’t. Nobody died,
except soldiers in lightly defended
tanks, which were set upon, mob-handed,
by the misguided
counter-revolutionary anarchist
saboteurs (funded by the West
to ferment rebellion), who, as I stressed,
didn’t exist.
Nothing Happened Here - Sheenagh Pugh.
Sheenagh is describing an anti-government demonstration as it might be described by the Communist government which was being demonstrated against. (We know that the government is Communist, or Communistic, because it uses 'counter-revolutionary' as a term of simple abuse, and criticises The West).
In the first stanza, the official spokesman says that there was no demonstration. "Nothing happened here." He then describes the demonstration which never happened: "there were never / young people singing in this square". But if there was no demonstration, how can the spokesman know what it looked like?
In the second stanza, the spokesman says that the demonstration (which never happened) ended peacefully : "they went home in good order". He says that it was not a problem that violence was deployed against the demonstrators (even though it wasn't, and there were no demonstrators).
you could hardly wonder at what
you say they got.
In the third stanza, the official spokesman admits that there were some deaths. But only the soldiers in their tanks died, not the demonstrators. (Is this likely)?
In the fourth stanza, the spokesman says that the demonstrators (who never existed) were funded by The West.
The poem is an example of someone saying something which is not true, and which they reveal to be not true - even as they say it. It encourages us to think about the way that totalitarian régimes use language to mislead people. It also encourages us to think about the way that people are eager to choose what they want to believe:- rather than what they could see to be true if they were only willing to open their eyes and ears.
The poem carries a deep message about untruth and about unfreedom - and how well they fit together.
At a surface level you could probably say that it is about North Korea and Chechnya. (Sheenagh Pugh in the past has closely identified herself with the political changes in the former Warsaw Pact countries, and in post-revolutionary Iran: but the message stays the same, even when the history changes).
At a slightly deeper level this poem is also saying things about Guantanamo Bay, and teaching Intelligent Design in state schools.
A lie is a lie is a lie. Any enemy of the truth can use one.
Few Crist donors are giving to Rubio
By Scott Powers, Orlando Sentinel Despite party anger over Gov. Charlie Crist’s decision to leave the GOP and launch an independent run for the U.S. Senate, few early Crist donors have crossed over and contributed to Republican candidate Marco Rubio, records show. After Crist’s announcement April 29 that he would run for the Senate as an independent, [...]

Fast Innovation: Achieving Superior Differentiation, Speed to Market, and Increased Profitability |
Description“How can I create an innovation engine that will consistently deliver substantial organic growth?” This question is the number-one issue for most CEOs and senior executives today. Innovation is a critical driver of organic growth, yet based on the authors' research, only a small percent of companies effectively use innovation to sustain long-term, profitable growth. And the stakes couldn't be higher-failure to create successful new products, services, and business models causes stagnating or declining profits. Now, for the first time, experts Michael George, James Works and Kimberly Watson-Hemphill explain the surprising and significant gap between the CEO's growth goals and actual performance. The authors, who are experts at connecting strategy to execution, give you a complete blueprint for exploiting the strategic and operational dimensions of innovation. Using fresh insights about the true drivers of fast time-to-market and the inadequate success rate of innovation, Fast Innovation reveals: Why current approaches to innovation fail A new strategic and tactical plan that will help your company dramatically reduce time-to-market by 50 to 80 percent The secret for finding out what your customers really want (not just what they say they want) Tools and methods for turning customer insights into ideas that will generate significant ROI The key levers that senior leadership must engage to create innovation capability across the business You'll receive specific actionable solutions for driving disruptive and sustaining innovation at the strategic, portfolio and project level. You'll also learn how to improve how much time your innovation teams actually spend innovating, and discover the changes that must be launched at the corporate level in order to enable the whole business to embrace and get results from this approach. |

Jethro Pugh signed Dallas Cowboys Doomsday Defense 1 Full Size Replica Helmet (4 signatures) w/ Lilly, Cole & Andrie- JSA Hologr |
DescriptionBob Lilly was an All-Pro seven times, and was selected to play in 11 Pro Bowl games with the Dallas Cowboys. Lilly was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980, his first year of eligibility. Larry Cole made an immediate impact and was a versatile player, playing different positions along the defensive line during his career. He is one of only eight NFL players who have played in five Super Bowls and helped the Cowboys win 2 Super Bowls and 5 NFC Championships. Jethro Pugh was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the 11th round of the 1965 NFL Draft. Even though he was a physical player against the run, he utilized his athletism to become a great pass rusher for a defensive tackle. George Andrie was drafted in the sixth round of the 1962 NFL Draft by the Cowboys as a defensive end. The Cowboys won Super Bowl VI. This was in the heyday of "Doomsday Defense I", and they did not disappoint by trouncing the Miami Dolphins 24-3. It is the only Super Bowl where a team has failed to score a touchdown. The Doomsday Defense 1 of Bob Lilly, Larry Cole, Jethro Pugh and George Andrie have hand signed this Dallas Cowboys Full Size Replica Helmet. James Spence Hologram and Certificate of Authenticity.

From Swampy to Sienna – The Changing Face of the Environmentalist
Remember Swampy? Swampy Hooper first appeared in 1996 as an environmental protester, barricading the machinery sent in to dig out a bypass through the woodlands outside Newbury. The standoff between protester and machine lasted for weeks, with people taking root (no pun intended) in the trees and Swampy digging an underground tunnel, where he stayed throughout the protest. Dreadlocked and donning the big sweaters that were fashionable amongst certain groups in the 1990s, Swampy became the image of environmentalism at that time. As result of his appearance, he and his cohorts were dismissed by many as "crusties" and potheads and the press made much of his middle class upbringing, as if it somehow diminished his authenticity. However, despite the negative reaction by many, Swampy became a celebrity. More than ten years later, not only is Swampy still protesting, albeit more quietly (more recently he appeared at the demonstrations against the third runway at Heathrow), but Swampy still practices what he preaches. According to the Independent, Swampy lives a self-sufficient life in Wales, in a community where there is no electricity or running water. The family, consisting of him, his partner and three children, grow most of their own food, wash in a nearby stream and use an eco-loo.
In my last article, Recycling in the Recession, I addressed the way in which matters concerning the environment are still perceived by many as "middle class" issues. So it is interesting that actually coming forward and challenging the system of power that threatens the environment, or indeed involvement in any kind of demonstration, has long been associated with the working class. Those presenting anything less than "salt of the earth" credentials, as in the case of Swampy, are rejected as fakes. This presents a weird paradox, since on the one hand, a working class background has been essential for the authenticity of the protester but on the other hand, his or her voice has been ignored because of exactly that. Despite their significant role in bringing the growing devastation of the British countryside to the attention of the public, the physical appearance of Swampy and the gang almost certainly weakened their progress in terms of getting their message heard by suit-wearing officials and politicians.
Fast forward a few years. By the mid-noughties the planet's corner was being fought by a host of celebrities, including Coldplay's Chris Martin, his wife Gwyneth Paltrow and actress Sienna Miller. Exalting the virtues of composting, recycling and hybrid cars, the endeavour of these celebrities was ostensibly to lead by example. Regularly featured in Coldplay's music videos was Martin waving his hands, adorned with messages in the form of coloured tape and scribbled symbols, as signs of his commitment to Fair Trade. However, widespread reports of hypocrisy that detailed ecologically unsound activities such as regular long haul flights in private jets, seriously damaged the credibility of both the message and the messenger. Not to mention that Coldplay, in a few short years, went from being the coolest kids on the block to something no self respecting music lover would admit to having on their i-Pod. It could be argued that Martin's increasing propensity to use his music as a platform for political activism took him down the same route as Bono et al, on a one way trip to uncool.
So in 2010, what are we left with? Horribly contrived photographs of politicians, such as David Cameron, riding bicycles through London, tailed by a legion of support cars? Al Gore? Gore's authority was seriously degraded some time after the release of his initially well-received film An Inconvenient Truth as a result of leaked emails and sexual allegations, meaning the public once again turned away in disbelief. Or perhaps we place our faith in Lewis Pugh, "The Human Polar Bear", a Devonshire environmental lawyer who swam 1km (0.62 miles) across 2°C Pumori Lake under the summit of Everest to draw attention to the rapidly melting glaciers. Pugh, who has previously swum in Antarctica and across the North Pole, is something of a hero in both sporting and environmental terms and has so far been praised by the media for his efforts to raise awareness of increasingly visible environmental problems. But perhaps Pugh will only hang onto his integrity until the press can dig some dirt on him. It seems that since way before Swampy's time, anyone with a message relating to the way we live and the things that we need to change has been condemned by certain segments of the media and had their sincerity challenged. In reality, they have probably made quite a difference in the thinking of the public but at the cost of their own reputation. Perhaps, though, there is hope in the possibility that environmentalism has, at last, started to bridge the class divide. A heartening article in the Daily Telegraph notes how the battle against Heathrow's third runway brought together a host of demonstrators, including middle class, aristocracy, politicians and the tweedy upper-middle class. This shows that the face of environmentalism is changing to one that encompasses us all and has the potential to make a difference from terraces and mansions, and living rooms and drawing rooms all over the country. From Swampy to Sienna – we need them all – but most of all, we need all of the people in between.

Beginning With Postage Stamps Accumulating
There are lots of that enjoy collecting. I do know my mother enjoys amassing just about anything, and the upstairs of her house proves just that. Such a lot have a far narrower focus alternatively, and so they select just one or things to shape collections. What each particular person does depends on what they prefer, or they are going to find one thing that may be interesting, and may also be value a bunch of money one day. Those are the kind that normally like to begin with postage stamps collecting. This interest can be a large number of fun.
Ahead of you begin, you must learn all you can approximately postage stamps. There are lots of which can be price a lot of money, however as you may suspect, those are the hardest to find. As a substitute, start to to find out what one of the crucial such a lot commonplace are price, and find out how arduous they're to find. Some like to start by getting each and every new stamp that comes out when they start postage stamps collecting. They will not be price anything more than their present worth nowadays, however they could transform a valuable part of any number of postage stamps within the future.
Similar to baseball playing cards and comedian books, you need stamps which are in excellent condition. A few name this ‘mint’ but that may be onerous to find. You do want the most efficient you can in finding whilst doing postage stamps amassing then again, so don’t opt for the primary of any stamp you find unless you understand it is very rare. Another excellent factor to know about postage stamps accumulating is that the ones that experience now not been cancelled out through the publish place of business (ones that have no longer yet been used to send mail) have probably the most value.
Perhaps the most important a part of postage stamps collecting is to know how to take care of your stamps. You can get the rarest stamps in the world but they don't seem to be going to hold so much price should you don’t understand how to deal with them and make them last. You can find the right kind how you can care for your stamps by having a look round on-line for advice, or through getting books printed to lend a hand those in postage stamps amassing to make the most of their stamps and their (expectantly) emerging value. As with most paper products, air, dust, and humidity would possibly lead to damage, so stay those all in thoughts whilst displaying or storing your collection.
