  John Wark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wark came through the ranks at Ipswich, making his debut in 1975, and was part of the young side managed by Bobby Robson which surprised favourites Arsenal in the 1978 FA Cup final, winning the game 1-0.
Wark continued to ply his trade for Ipswich but the side was gradually being broken up after Robson left to become England manager in 1982.
Wark, who in the same year was in the Scotland squad which went to the World Cup in Spain and scored two goals, eventually joined the exodus in a 450,000 pounds deal when he signed for Liverpool in 1984 as a replacement for Graeme Souness, who was leaving to play in Italy that summer.

 AAS Biographical Memoirs - Ian William Wark 1899-1985
Wark examined the consequences of this 'should it ever become possible to control the breaking up of elements', one of which was that the availability of this intra-atomic energy 'should provide a satisfactory solution to the problems raised by the world's dwindling sources of power'.
Wark and Cox used the potential difference between a copper electrode immersed in a solution of known copper ion concentration and another copper electrode in a solution containing a copper salt with alkali and cyanide to determine the copper ion concentration in the latter.
Wark had earlier attributed this type of behaviour to 'armouring' of the bubble with oriented collector molecules that must be displaced from the bubble surface for true air contact with the mineral surface to be established.

 A Review of McKenzie Wark's: "The Virtual Republic: Australia's Culture Wars of the 1990s"
For Wark, attempting to write as far as he can from a position in the stream of things, a more interesting artifice, none of the platitudes can any longer be taken for granted.
Wark traces the important figures and individual essays which have helped move such perceptions from 'the margin of margins' to the centre of the margins, at least.
Wark might regret being so rude to Robert Manne given the latter's recent departure from Quadrant (he looks more like a friend than ever before) but the analysis of the moral fable and the rhetorics of totalitarianism in Manne's work is memorable.

 Reconstruction of Wark Castle
Wark was attacked by King David I of Scots (1124-1153) on three separate occasions in 1126 when it was taken and held by the Scots for a short time.
In 1349 one of the most famous events at Wark took place when King Edward III of England (1327-1377) who was attending a court ball at the castle noticed that Lady Salisbury had dropped her garter.
Wark castle must have been quickly repaired by the English as the 1517 account showed it to be fully equipped and operational, boasting a barrack/stable block in it's inner courtyard able to house 140 men and their horses.

 AAS-Biographical memoirs-Wark
Wark had been outstandingly successful, although he had taken more than a passing interest in sporting activities – athletics, tennis, billiards – and in the countryside, in art, music, and literature.
Once he was elected to Council, Wark became even more active and influential in promoting proposals to the government for assistance in various ways – funds for research, post-doctoral fellowships – to promote the effectiveness of science and technology in national growth.
At the time when Wark retired from Council in 1963, there was a body of opinion represented by a number of Fellows that closer relations should be established between the Academy and leaders of industry and government and other community leaders, in order to promote better understanding and better use of science.

 Brigantes Nation Carl Wark
Carl Wark is located close to the defensive dyke of Roman Rig, Sheffield, which has been postulated as being the line of Venutius' south eastern border with Roman Britain, AD 69.
Carl Wark is an escarpment hill fort which uses the very steep natural cliffs to give the fort around 90% of its defenses.
The suggestion must be therefore, that Carl Wark was probably in use by Venutius and that the southerly position of CarlWark and Roman Rig indicates this use would be in the period after Cartimandua had lost her throne to Venutius.

 RCCS: View Book Info   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Wark sees a third version of this process in our contemporary Information Age, where the producers of information (understood in the widest sense: artists, scientists, software developers, and all sorts of innovators, anyone in short who produces knowledge) find their labor expropriated from them by large corporations which own patents and copyrights on their inventions.
Wark calls the information producers "hackers," and refers to the owners/expropriators of information as "the vectorialist class" (since "information" travels along "vectors" as it is reproduced and transmitted from place to place).
Wark argues that the power of "information" lies largely in its capacity to make ever-larger "abstractions": "to abstract is to construct a plane upon which otherwise different and unrelated matters may be brought into many possible relations.

 Holyrood Inquiry : Transcript 26-11-2003 AM
Ms Wark: I thought my role, at that point, was to sift through them again and to have a further look at them, and to make some kind of list of the ones that, to me, looked most interesting, looked most exciting.
Ms Wark:  I think that, when he came to the first meeting, he had an understanding of what was going to happen, but it was a steep learning curve, I think, for everyone on the panel, or should I say, for everybody who was not an expert on the panel.
Ms Wark:  Clearly, I think what happened was that, clearly there was a ball-park figure and ball-park is the operative word because everybody was asked to submit in the region of £50 million.

 Hack License   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
As cultural critic and New School University professor McKenzie Wark sees things, today’s battles over copyrights, trademarks, and patents are simply the next phase in the age-old battle between the productive classes and the ruling classes that strive to turn those producers into subjects.
Wark’s opus A Hacker Manifesto brings together England’s Enclosure Movement, Das Kapital, and the corporate ownership of information—a process that Duke University law professor James Boyle called “the Second Enclosure Movement”—to create a unified theory of domination, struggle, and freedom.
And Wark’s hackers are the kind of people who would use peer-to-peer networks to let a million of their closest friends download Hollywood’s latest movies before they are released in theaters—a prime example of hacker power to defeat the evils of vectorial oppression.

Born in Crestwood, Oldham County, Kentucky to Jacob "Roaring Jake" Griffith, a Confederate Army colonel and Civil War hero, David Wark Griffith has been called the father of film grammar.
Scholars no longer dispute that few or any of his "innovations" actually began with him, but still he is given credit for a set of codes that have become the universal back-bone to the film language.

Story in full KIRSTY Wark’s 18 years as the presenter of General Election coverage in Scotland appeared to be at an end last night after senior BBC insiders said she had made a "huge mistake" by going on holiday with Jack McConnell, the First Minister.
Although BBC Scotland’s General Election coverage team has not yet been chosen, it is now thought to be unlikely that Wark will occupy her usual position as the anchor of the late-night results programme, despite her insistence she has done nothing wrong.
Another BBC insider agreed with this assessment but said Wark’s network of influential allies might be able to save her from being dropped.

 A Hacker Manifesto by McKenzie Wark | PopMatters Book Review
The denial of the brave new and improved world of post-scarcity is the work of what Wark terms the "vectoralist" class (so named for their control over vectors, i.e., the various pathways and networks over which information flows).
The producers are hackers, who Wark defines as artists, scientists, philosophers, musicians, etc., as well as the computer geeks from whom the name originally derives.
Wark declares his text to be in the "crypto-Marxist" tradition, which includes Walter Benjamin, Debord, Deleuze and Guattari and a host of other visionary theorists.
