  • WARNER MUSIC GROUP GERMANY Raphael Gualazzi Happy Mistake
    Raphael Gualazzi Happy Mistake Raphael Gualazzi Happy Mistake VÖ: April ´14 (tba) “Ich bin ein Musikliebhaber”, antwortet der Sänger & Pianist (wie auch Produzent & Arrangeur) wenn man ihn zu seinem Stil befragt, der Jazz, Soul, Klassik und Popmusik vermischt. „Ich möchte keines der Genres aufgeben, das ich liebe, seit ich angefangen habe, Musik zu machen. Dieses Album ist eine Mixtur und die Summe aller meiner Leidenschaften.“ HAPPY MISTAKE wird niemanden überraschen, der die Karriere des transalpinen Musikers bereits seit einigen Jahren verfolgt. Die neuen Songs sind die würdigen Nachfolger jener Titel, die bei Raphael Gualazzis letztem Album „Reality And Fantasy“ für den großen Erfolg gesorgt haben und das weltweit über 100.000-mal verkauft wurde. Raphael Gualazzis natürliche Neigung zu Vielseitigkeit und sein Gespür für Melodien spiegelt sich in diesen eingängigen Songs sofort wieder. Doch dieses Mal ist alles noch ein wenig vollkommener. Durch Tourneen und Konzerte wurde Raphaels Songwriting ausgefeilter. So ist es in der Tat recht schwer, den einen „Top Song“ von seinem neuen Album auszuwählen. Im Gegensatz zu einem musikalischen Umfeld, dem Substanz fehlt, scheint der junge Künstler mit Anfang dreißig mühelos hervorragende Titel zu schreiben, betont durch sein intensives Pianospiel und seine raue Stimme. Wenn HAPPY MISTAKE mit seiner Unmittelbarkeit beeindruckt, dann daher, weil man das Album praktisch sofort begreift. Während der Aufnahmen teilte sich Raphael Gualazzi das Mikrophon mit der französischen Sängerin CAMILLE bei dem Titel “L’amie d’un italien” (Ein italienischer Freund), ein kabarettähnlicher Titel, subtil arrangiert von Vince Mendoza. Inspiriert von seiner Leidenschaft für Swing & Groove findet man auf dem Album passend zu Raphaels Percussion Rhythmen auch kraftvolle Bläsersektionen.

    FOM.GAL/3/19/Rev.1 4 July 2019 ENGLISH only Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe The Representative on Freedom of the Media Harlem Désir 4 July 2019 Regular Report to the Permanent Council for the period from 22 November 2018 to 4 July 2019 1 Introduction Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the honour to present to you my latest report to the Permanent Council, which covers the period from November last year until today. In introducing this report I would like to focus on two key issues that we are facing when it comes to freedom of the media and freedom of expression. The first and greatest challenge facing journalists and other media actors which I wish to address is safety. I would like to warn, in particular, against the risk of normalization and indifference. Just two weeks ago, Vadim Komarov, a journalist from Cherkasy in Ukraine, died from his wounds following a brutal attack in May. His death did not generate much international attention or outrage, but it is no less revolting and sends a clear and sordid message of intimidation to many of his colleagues working on the same issues in the country. Komarov was investigating corruption and abuses of power in his city for many years and had been attacked in the past. He was the second journalist killed this year in the OSCE region. In April, 29-year-old journalist Lyra McKee was shot while covering riots in Northern Ireland, in the United Kingdom. She was a passionate and talented young journalist, known for her investigative reporting on the political history in the region.

  • Starr Forum: Russia's Information War on America
    MIT Center for Intnl Studies | Starr Forum: Russia’s Information War on America CAROL Welcome everyone. We're delighted that so many people could join us today. Very SAIVETZ: excited that we have such a timely topic to discuss, and we have two experts in the field to discuss it. But before I do that, I'm supposed to tell you that this is an event that is co-sponsored by the Center for International Studies at MIT, the Security Studies program at MIT, and MIT Russia. I should also introduce myself. My name is Carol Saivetz. I'm a senior advisor at the Security Studies program at MIT, and I co-chair a seminar, along with my colleague Elizabeth Wood, whom we will meet after the talk. And we co-chair a seminar series called Focus on Russia. And this is part of that seminar series as well. I couldn't think of a better topic to talk about in the lead-up to the US presidential election, which is now only 40 days away. We've heard so much in 2016 about Russian attempts to influence the election then, and we're hearing again from the CIA and from the intelligence community that Russia is, again, trying to influence who shows up, where people vote. They are mimicking some of Donald Trump's talking points about Joe Biden's strength and intellectual capabilities, et cetera. And we've really brought together two experts in the field.

  • L'italia E L'eurovision Song Contest Un Rinnovato
    La musica unisce l'Europa… e non solo C'è chi la definisce "La Champions League" della musica e in fondo non sbaglia. L'Eurovision è una grande festa, ma soprattutto è un concorso in cui i Paesi d'Europa si sfidano a colpi di note. Tecnicamente, è un concorso fra televisioni, visto che ad organizzarlo è l'EBU (European Broadcasting Union), l'ente che riunisce le tv pubbliche d'Europa e del bacino del Mediterraneo. Noi italiani l'abbiamo a lungo chiamato Eurofestival, i francesi sciovinisti lo chiamano Concours Eurovision de la Chanson, l'abbreviazione per tutti è Eurovision. Oggi più che mai una rassegna globale, che vede protagonisti nel 2016 43 paesi: 42 aderenti all'ente organizzatore più l'Australia, che dell'EBU è solo membro associato, essendo fuori dall'area (l’anno scorso fu invitata dall’EBU per festeggiare i 60 anni del concorso per via dei grandi ascolti che la rassegna fa in quel paese e che quest’anno è stata nuovamente invitata dall’organizzazione). L'ideatore della rassegna fu un italiano: Sergio Pugliese, nel 1956 direttore della RAI, che ispirandosi a Sanremo volle creare una rassegna musicale europea. La propose a Marcel Bezençon, il franco-svizzero allora direttore generale del neonato consorzio eurovisione, che mise il sigillo sull'idea: ecco così nascere un concorso di musica con lo scopo nobile di promuovere la collaborazione e l'amicizia tra i popoli europei, la ricostituzione di un continente dilaniato dalla guerra attraverso lo spettacolo e la tv. E oltre a questo, molto più prosaicamente, anche sperimentare una diretta in simultanea in più Paesi e promuovere il mezzo televisivo nel vecchio continente.

    FACULTY OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND ECONOMICS Working Paper Series Working Paper No. 2018-10 THE SUPERSTAR CODE - DECIPHERING KEY CHARACTERISTICS AND THEIR VALUE Franziska Prockl May 2018 THE SUPERSTAR CODE - DECIPHERING KEY CHARACTERISTICS AND THEIR VALUE. Franziska Prockl Paderborn University, Management Department, Chair of Organizational, Media and Sports Economics, Warburger Str. 100, D-33098 Paderborn. May 2018 Working Paper ABSTRACT The purpose of the presented research is to advance the superstar literature on the aspect of superstar’s characteristics and value. Typically, superstar research is faced with one problem: They apply the same criteria to determine who their superstars are as to describe them later because they lack “an objective measure of star quality” (Krueger, 2005, p.18). To avoid this complication, the author chose to study Major League Soccer’s (MLS) designated players as this setting present a unique, as discrete, assignment of star status. MLS has formally introduced stars in 2007 under the designated player (DP) rule which delivers over 100 star-observations in the last ten years to investigate MLS strategy of star employment. The insights from this data set demonstrate which characteristics are relevant, whether MLS stars can be categorized as Rosen or Adler stars, and what the MLS pays for and in this sense values most. A cluster analysis discovers a sub group of ten stars that stand out from the others, in this sense superstars. A two-stage regression model confirms the value stemming from popularity, leadership qualities, previous playing level, age and national team experience but refutes other typical performance indicators like games played and goals scored or position.
