Cyclone Nargis--a "Grotesque" Disaster
2008-05-20 16:32:00 Yesterday, I wrote about Cyclone Nargis (Blog Post: Cyclone Nargis--Natural & Political Disaster), and ended my post will little resolved in my mind. This article from The Washington Post summons up my feelings on the recent natural disaster (turned political disaster) in Burma."THE STORY of Cyclone Nargis, which devastated much of Burma more than two weeks ago, long ago moved from the tragic to the criminal. It is now becominggrotesque."Diplomats from the United Nations and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations have announced they will hold a 'donor conference' in Burma's capital on Sunday. This will allow foreign ministers from around the world to preen and promise millions in loans and grants for 'reconstruction' that, if delivered, will enrich and empower the corrupt rulers of that unhappy nation. Meanwhile -- thanks to those same rulers--as many as 3 million people affected by the cyclone will still be suffering, and in many cases dying, because the regime refuses...

It has been more than 2 weeks since the initial onslaught of the storm, and NPR reports that children are most in danger as aid workers continue to fight to be allowed to enter Burma.Today, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) held a news conference, at which they stated that Burma is finally ready to accept help from international aid agencies and is ready to admit foreign medical workers from Southeast Asian countries.17 DAYS after the initial storm . . . !On May 15th, CNN reported that the death toll could reach as many as 100,000. That number is nearly 5 times what the Burmese junta is claiming the toll to be.It is hard to say home many deaths could have been prevented if a government that cared about the lives of its citizens was in power...

Anathema - a natural disaster (2003)
2007-10-12 06:13:00 Pues muy contento de haber sido invitado a Rock & Bloguear con ustedes, y poderles compartir un poco de mi forma de vivir, sentir, y valorar la mùsica.Estuve pensando en cuàl disco serìa el mejor para empezar mi participaciòn en este espacio. Y de verdad no tarde mucho en dicidir que el "A Natural Disaster" de Anathema serìa la mejor forma de comenzar.......Para los que no conocen mucho de esta banda, les platico un poco de ella.Quinteto de Inglaterra, especificamente de Liverpool, formado en los años 90'tas por la familia Cavanagh. A este grupo pordría considerarcele de la camada de Paradise Lost, Tiamat, Amorphis, y My Dying Bride; que fueron las precursoras del Doom Metal en Europa (metal más lento, pesado, depresivo y melancólico) .Obviamente, Anathema fué influenciado por este género pero nunca llegó a sonar a un Doom tradicional con voces gruturales y guitarras lentas pero poderosas, para mi gusto, mas bién encontraron un estilo propio, entre el Doom y el Rock progresivo....

Natural disasters toughen Indonesia's nerve
2007-05-26 02:23:00 One year ago, Indonesia's cultural heart, the ancient Javanese city of Yogyakarta, was rocked to its core - quite literally.Shortly before sunrise on May 27, 2006, a magnitude-6.2 earthquake struck the city and Klaten district in nearby Central Java province, killing more than 5,800 people and leaving the region in ruins. "I just ran out of the house after the quake hit and immediately saw so many houses heavily damaged or collapsed," said Imam Purwadi, 53, one of the lucky survivors."This was the most powerful earthquake in my life." The temblor destroyed or severely damaged more than 350,000 homes and displaced 1.5 million people.Those figures would be astonishing except for the fact that the earthquake was anything but an isolated event for the country.Since Boxing Day 2004, Indonesia has experienced no less than eight major disasters that read off like a laundry list of horror: the Asian tsunami of December 26, 2004; a magnitude-8.7 earthquake on Nais Island in March 2005; the ...
