"Surveillance and social-classification are the mode through which one person engages with another. Log onto MySpace, check your friends' profiles, leave a comment or two, move people around your "Top 8" - this might be a typical session on the site. We will not stop posting personal information as long as these data holds social and interactive value. Surveillance and identity modulation has become the vehicle of these media, and, increasingly, our networked lives." read full story / add a comment

On Nov 19, 2005, a roadside bomb hit a patrol convoy of Marine humvees in Haditha, killing Lance Corporal Miguel Terrazas. The twelve men in 1st Squad led by Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich, proceeded to storm nearby buildings throwing grenades into rooms and gunning down the occupants, innocent Iraqi men, women and children in cold blood. What caused these men to kill innocents? Was it the heat of battle? No, I would suggest, it is directly linked to the ethos of the elite US Marine Corps. read full story / add a comment

Industry insiders have indicated a significant shift within the Irish Construction Industry, an industry that has helped to fuel the Celtic Tiger phenomenon, and an industry which employs tens of thousands migrant workers. The effects have been felt particularly within the scaffolding end of the business with fewer contracts around than has previously been the case. read full story / add a comment

A young Irish man is flying to Arizona today (June 15) to begin an amazingly difficult journey of recovery from arthritus that's had him on crutches for almost a decade. His ordeal is being documented, and the film, 'Walking', will completed in 2008. Nothing is more incredible, moving and noteworthy than a person's determination to show the world that he will never give up, will share every experience and- most of all-can recover one hundred per cent when the odds are against him. read full story / add a comment

The manouverings of the SWP in Scotland are a significant factor in the general chaos within the Scottish Socialist Party. The manner in which this party are currently operating in Scotland should act as a warning to those on the Left in Ireland who believe that that party has anything to offer the struggle for socialism here. read full story / add a comment

This is as good a time as any to recall to mind the shenanigans that were going on in Dublin in 1970, as the Haughey clique sought to insulate their 'kingdom' from the storm that was about to break in the north of Ireland. read full story / add a comment

Before I begin I must say I hate Bush and I hate this whole nihilistic Iraq war. The Americans, I think we can all agree are in a quagmire in Iraq. The country is ravaged by daily car bombings which have killed thousands of innocent civilians since 2003 while Sunni, Shia and Kurdish areas are at each others throats. Every day dozens of tortured and mutilated bodies have arrived at Iraqi hospitals after being dumped in the streets. The country is on the brink of all out tribal and sectarian civil war. read full story / add a comment

A civil Servant on behalf of the Department of Education and Science, yesterday attended the Ryan commission on Child Abuse ,(previously the Laffoy Commisssion on Child Abuse- 1999-2003) to apologise to the victims of Church/State disregard for the health and well-being of generations of industrial school children. Whilst applauding the attempt to recitfy the deep wrongs of the Era through apology , it has come three years too late. The State continues to deny its role in the obstruction of the work of the Laffoy Committee, not has it exposed the machinations of the dept of education and Science headed up by Michael Woods that signed the Church/ State indemnity deal which absolved the Church from paying full compensation to victims. read full story / add a comment

When the American Civil War (1861-65) broke out, James Gordon Bennett of the New York Herald was galvanised and plunged 40 reporters into the fray with instructions to bring back the news first. Some editors went along themselves – notably Henry Raymond of The New York Times. The London Times had already despatched William Russell – an Irish war correspondent – who had already sent in reports from a previous conflict. Reports from the Crimean War included his byline.1 read full story / add a comment

Make Do and Mend. 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

Mental illness and the treatment of mental illness have become conflated in the minds of lay people and professional alike. It is an astute practitioner who can distinguish the effects of treatment from the effects of illness when they look at a mental patient. In my humble opinion standard treatment contributes more to stigma and isolation of the mental patient than any underlying illness he or she may suffer from. read full story / add a comment

The mass media representation of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi as an Al-Qaeda leader is inaccurate. Al-Qaeda as an 'organisation' has no formal structure, and would be more accurately described as philosophy. Media representations of the group are seriously flawed and buy into the assumptions underlying the US-led 'war on terror'. read full story / add a comment |
