  • Creative Writing
    2018 International Torrance Legacy Creativity Awards Creative Writing Talented young writers were invited to submit their most creative compositions in recognition of the legacy of creativity pioneer E. Paul Torrance. Over the past ten years, the International Torrance Legacy Creative Writing Awards competition has attracted hundreds of young writers who took part in two major categories: poetry and short story. In this year of judging submissions, we were pleased to see evidence of student maturity and growth in writing, in composition as well as in depth of feeling and insight. Student participation represented ages 8-18. Poems and stories were assessed in four age-lev- el categories: ages 8-10, 11-12, 13-15, and 16-18. The themes elicited a wide range of creative compositions—some strikingly original and imaginative. Entries also reflected a rich diversity of ideas and talents expressed by students throughout the United States and other countries, includ- ing Canada, Israel, New Zealand, Poland, Singapore, and South Korea. A panel of four judges, comprised of teachers, authors, and editors in the Chicago area, evalu- ated the quality of student poems and stories. They were Janet Bartell, Chair; Nancy Messman, Co-Chair; Dorothy Massalski; and Sarah von Fremd. Each used rubrics to critique the poetry and stories, focusing for stories on such criteria as organization, character and plot development, and for poetry, linguistic expressiveness, imagery, originality, and depth. All four judges commended the maturity and creativity evident

  • Definitive Collection of Stax Records' Singles to Be
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: DEFINITIVE COLLECTION OF STAX RECORDS’ SINGLES TO BE REISSUED Two volumes, due out December 16, 2014 and Spring 2015, cover 1968-1975. Volumes to be made available digitally for first time. LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Concord Music Group and Stax Records are proud to announce the digital release and physical reissue of two comprehensive box set titles: The Complete Stax/Volt Soul Singles, Vol. 2: 1968-1971 and The Complete Stax/Volt Soul Singles, Vol. 3: 1972-1975. Originally released in 1993 and 1994, respectively, these two compilations will be re-released back into the physical market in compact and sleek new packaging. Each set includes full-color booklets with in-depth essays by Stax historian and compilations co- producer Rob Bowman. The volumes feature stalwart Stax R&B artists including Isaac Hayes, the Staple Singers, Rufus Thomas, Johnnie Taylor, Carla Thomas, the Bar-Kays and William Bell, as well as bluesmen Little Milton, Albert King and Little Sonny, and “second generation” Stax hitmakers like Jean Knight, the Soul Children, Kim Weston, the Temprees, and Mel & Tim. Many of the tracks included in these collections will be made available digitally for the very first time. The story of the great Memphis soul label Stax/Volt can be divided into two distinct eras: the period from 1959 through the beginning of 1968, when the company was distributed by Atlantic and was developing its influential sound and image (chronicled in acclaimed 9-CD box set The Complete Stax/Volt Singles 1959-1968, released by Atlantic in 1991); and the post-Atlantic years, from May 1968 through the end of 1975, when Stax/Volt began its transition from a small, down-home enterprise to a corporate soul powerhouse.

  • The Relationship Between Fame and Fortune in Performance Related Careers with A
    International Journal of Health and Economic Development, 6(2), 36-46, July 2020 36 The Relationship between Fame and Fortune in Performance Related Careers with a Shorter Life Expectancy due to Accidents, Addiction, Homicide and Suicide S. Eric Anderson, Ginny Sim La Sierra University, Riverside, California, USA [email protected] Abstract Around 92% of the US population dies from natural causes. However, only 49% of famous musician stars die from natural causes resulting in performance related careers being one of the most dangerous professions in the United States. According to this study, musicians were 20 times more likely to die from an addiction, four times more likely to die from an accident, six times more likely to die of homicide and four times more likely to die of suicide than the general population. Why do dangerous profession lists fail to include musicians in the high risk career list categories? It is not the profession that is dangerous, but primarily the personality type gravitating towards the profession that creates risk. Should certain personality types be directed to non-performance related careers? Probably not, since performing on stage may be a more effective intervention than psychiatric treatment. Keywords: Accidents, Alcohol, Anxiety, depression, homicide, musicians and suicide. Introduction Is there a relationship between fame in performance related careers with the shorter life expectancy due to accidents, drug overdose, homicide and suicide? The number of musicians, Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Moon, Sid Vicious, Kurt Cobain, Amy International Journal of Health and Economic Development, 6(2), 36-46, July 2020 37 Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Prince who died of addiction is staggering.
