  • 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.

    Aula 9 ENTRE A REBELDIA E A ALIENAÇÃO: A DÉCADA DE 1980 E A MASSIFICAÇÃO DO ROCK NO BRASIL META Apresentar o modo como se deu a circulação, recepção e apropriação do rock no Brasil OBJETIVOS Ao final desta aula, o aluno deverá: Compreender criticamente o modo como se deu a recepção e apropriação de uma cultura musical vinda dos Estados Unidos: o rock. Identificar, descrever e analisar o modo como os contatos, confrontos e diálogos entre culturas de línguas diferentes, neste caso específico, a língua inglesa e a portuguesa, bem como as representações da Inglaterra e dos Estados Unidos, se configuram nos discursos dos estudiosos, jornalistas, artistas e bandas selecionados, buscando identificar, descrever e avaliar as implicações políticas, formativas e culturais da circulação, recepção e apropriação do rock no Brasil na década de 1980. PRÉ-REQUISITOS Familiaridade com os períodos formativos da história e da cultura dos Estados Unidos; Conceitos-chave da Teoria da Literatura e da história literária. Luiz Eduardo Oliveira Literatura de Língua Inglesa III INTRODUÇÃO O Núcleo de Estudos de Cultura da UFS, cadastrado no CNPq e vinculado ao Departamento de Letras Estrangeiras e aos programas de pós-graduação em Letras e Educação da mesma instituição, está desenvol- vendo uma pesquisa de Iniciação Científica, por mim orientada, sobre o processo de massificação do rock no Brasil na década de 1980. O título da pesquisa é “Entre a rebeldia e a alienação: a década de 80 e a massificação do rock no Brasil”. Dei esse título porque, a meu ver, essa é a grande ques- tão da cultura contemporânea, esse entre-lugar, essa encruzilhada, devido à sua condição diaspórica, necessariamente híbrida (Hall, 2006).

Video Games: Gaming is the new technology paradigm as most digital activities (e.g. search, social, shopping, live events) will increasingly take place inside of gaming. All of the major technology platforms will expand their presence in the gaming stack, leading to a new wave of mergers and technology investments. AR/VR: Augmented reality and virtual reality are on the verge of widespread adoption as headset sales take off and use cases expand beyond gaming into other consumer digital activities and enterprise functionality. Video: By 2024, nearly all American households will have a Connected TV. The average paid video streaming subscriber will own 5.7 subscriptions, while also watching other services for free (e.g. sharing passwords, using advertising-supported services, viewing social video). eCommerce: The growth curve of eCommerce has accelerated by 5 years in 5 months. Consumers will expand their digital shopping destinations beyond the retailers that they bought from before shelter-in-place. Marketplace platforms and the shift to online grocery buying will level the eCommerce playing field for large traditional retailers and brands. Esports: During shelter-in-place, esports were sports for many consumers; going forward, esports will be a major global catalyst for interest in interactive gaming, technology, and entertainment experiences. www.activate.com Continued ➔ 2 12 Takeaways from the Activate Technology & Media Outlook 2021 Sports Tech and Sports: New technologies will reshape every aspect of sports, including data, athlete performance, and viewing experiences.

By using public resources, enhanced by tax advantages, facilities and public utility tools to manipulate public perceptions, and to attack and damage taxpaying members of the public, Nick Denton and Gawker Media have created a blight upon the public policy system, and the public communications system, of the nation, and the world. By creating an unfair system of retribution, vindictiveness and vendetta, exclusive to Gawker Media, which provides no reasonable option, nor affordable measure, for the public to counter-measure Gawker’s attacks; Gawker is violating the Constitutional and Human Rights of American citizens. Gawker Media has taken money and resources from third parties for whom Gawker Media then produced coordinated character and brand assassination attacks that harmed, or destroyed, American industry and American taxpayers.
