  • On Don Cherry's Citizenship in the Six String Nation
    Why I’m revoking Don Cherry’s citizenship in the Six String Nation. The Six String Nation project was conceived in the divisive atmosphere of the lead up to the 1995 Quebec Referendum on sovereignty. Referenda are necessarily divisive. They take complex problems and cast them as simple choices, usually just between Yes or No. The media took its cues accordingly and the whole debate was framed as blue vs. red, Quebec vs. Ottawa, French vs. English. Even the responses of the rest of Canadians whom the referendum made mere bystanders could only be funnelled into the polarities of “Don’t Go” and “Good Riddance”. But how was that referendum supposed to account for the voices of indigenous people in Quebec, or francophones outside of Quebec or any of the thousands of other perspectives there are on what it is to be Canadian? Well, of course it wasn’t meant to. So the Six String Nation project was meant to invite those conversations by putting diverse histories and perspectives from different communities and cultures and characters into one object - a guitar - the very essence of which is to create harmony out of internal tensions. It would exist not only as an object that illustrated that complex truth but also as a living instrument through which those who played it and those who heard it could articulate those perspectives in their own way in their own place and time. Given my experience shepherding the project around the country and beyond, I can say that it has succeeded in doing just that in however small a way.

  • Trade-Marks Issues in Advertising
    ______________________________________________________________________________ Trade-Marks Issues in Advertising by Sharon E. Groom Prepared for The Canadian Institute Advertising & Marketing Law Conference 2004 TRADE-MARKS ISSUES IN ADVERTISING Sharon E.Groom Partner MCMILLAN BINCH LLP Sharon Groom is an Intellectual Property lawyer at McMillan Binch LLP and is Co-Chair of the Marketing and Advertising Group. She wishes to acknowledge the invaluable assistance of Julie Beeton, Associate in the Corporate Commercial group, and Kate Krestow, Articling Student, in the preparation of this paper and the presentation. MBDOCS_1210508.5 MCMILLAN BINCH LLP February 9, 2004 Page 2 MCMILLAN BINCH LLP TRADE-MARK ISSUES IN ADVERTISING INTRODUCTION Trade-marks are one of the most powerful marketing tools for any business. Consumers use trade-marks to identify product quality and the manufacturer. Trade-marks are also used by the advertisers to build goodwill and encourage brand recognition. Considering the creative and ever-changing nature of the industry, there are numerous ways in which a trade-mark may be used in an advertising or marketing campaign. Some of the increasingly popular campaigns include cross-promotion or co-branding, comparative advertising and ambush marketing. The following is a discussion of some of the intellectual property concerns involved in these advertising campaigns. CO-PROMOTING AND CO-BRANDING It is becoming more common for trade-mark owners to join forces to promote their wares and services and potentially reach a new market or revitalize a brand. Recently, Kraft Canada Inc. ran a back-to-school promotion that entitled those purchasing a box of Kraft Dinner to win Crayola products. The purchaser was asked to locate a code number inside the box of Kraft Dinner and then log on to the website ytv.com.

  • Masculinity and the National Hockey League: Hockey’S Gender Constructions

Professor Cristina Mislán Professor Sandy Davidson Professor Amanda Hinnant Professor Becky Scott MASCULINITY AND THE NHL Acknowledgements I would like to begin by thanking my committee chair, Dr. Cristina Mislán, for her guidance and help throughout this project, and beyond. From the first class I took at Missouri, Mass Media Seminar, to the thesis itself, she encouraged me to see the world through different lenses and inspired a passion for cross-disciplined study. Her assistance was invaluable in completing this project. Next, I would like to thank my committee members: Dr. Sandy Davidson, Dr. Amanda Hinnant and Dr. Becky Scott. All three members provided insight and feedback into different portions of the project at its early stages and each one made the study stronger. Dr. Davidson’s tireless support and enthusiasm was infectious and her suggestion to explore the legal concerns the NHL might have about violence and head injuries led me to explore the commoditization of players.

  • Hockey Night in Canada French Notes
    Hockey Night in Canada French notes – because the French version of HNIC is different than the English version in the French translation, note that these questions are about the English version. Then in the French version we will add 2 questions – we will duplicate Qs 6&7 asking if they notice and difference/like the changes from the old French Version to the new. 1. Thinking about Canadian culture and identity, how important is the game of hockey? Hockey defines Canadian culture Hockey is an important part of Canadian culture – and so are other things Hockey isn’t really a big factor in Canadian culture Hockey is just a game and has nothing to do with Canadian culture 2. Now thinking specifically about NHL hockey, how important is it to Canadian culture and identity? Very Important Important Not very important Totally unimportant 3. How important is NHL hockey to you? I’m a diehard fan I’m a fan A lot of other interests come before hockey I don’t care about hockey at all 4. Since the 2014 season began last month, how many NHL games have you watched on TV? More than four 2 or 3 One None 5.

  • Norway's Jazz Identity by © 2019 Ashley Hirt MA
    Mountain Sound: Norway’s Jazz Identity By © 2019 Ashley Hirt M.A., University of Idaho, 2011 B.A., Pittsburg State University, 2009 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Musicology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Musicology. __________________________ Chair: Dr. Roberta Freund Schwartz __________________________ Dr. Bryan Haaheim __________________________ Dr. Paul Laird __________________________ Dr. Sherrie Tucker __________________________ Dr. Ketty Wong-Cruz The dissertation committee for Ashley Hirt certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: _____________________________ Chair: Date approved: ii Abstract Jazz musicians in Norway have cultivated a distinctive sound, driven by timbral markers and visual album aesthetics that are associated with the cold mountain valleys and fjords of their home country. This jazz dialect was developed in the decade following the Nazi occupation of Norway, when Norwegians utilized jazz as a subtle tool of resistance to Nazi cultural policies. This dialect was further enriched through the Scandinavian residencies of African American free jazz pioneers Don Cherry, Ornette Coleman, and George Russell, who tutored Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek. Garbarek is credited with codifying the “Nordic sound” in the 1960s and ‘70s through his improvisations on numerous albums released on the ECM label. Throughout this document I will define, describe, and contextualize this sound concept. Today, the Nordic sound is embraced by Norwegian musicians and cultural institutions alike, and has come to form a significant component of modern Norwegian artistic identity. This document explores these dynamics and how they all contribute to a Norwegian jazz scene that continues to grow and flourish, expressing this jazz identity in a world marked by increasing globalization.

It was a 3-2 final with Federov scoring the winner with 28 seconds left on the clock. This one, however, was special as it marked a milestone for one of the greatest professional coaches of any sport in any time. Scotty Bowman, currently the coach of the Detroit Red Wings, was behind the bench in his 2,000th NHL game on Friday night as Detroit beat Vancouver. The previous record was 1,607 set by Al Arbour of the New York Islanders, a record passed by Bowman five years ago.

    Rooted in tradition · Exploring the future Vol. 46 · Issue #1 Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2013 Loyalist College · Belleville, ON · Canada Stirling welcomes Hockeyville By Christopher King Kraft Hockeyville descended upon the town of Stirling-Rawdon and District for a second year on Sept. 14. Hockeyville is a program that is award- ed to the town that demonstrates its love for hockey and the ability of a community to come together to show that. Commu- nities that win are awarded $100,000 and two NHL teams host an exhibition game and Hockey Night in Canada broadcasts in the community. Last year, the NHL lockout prevented any exhibition games. This year, however, the lack of a lockout allowed the Winni- peg Jets to compete against the Washing- ton Capitals. At the Stirling-Rawdon and District Recreation Centre, Kraft Hockeyville laid out the red carpet on the ice for the Stanley Cup. Four players, two from each team, attended a question-and-answer period before families took their turn tak- ing photos of themselves with the cup. Guests wrote down questions and the NHL players responded in person at the arena. The questions varied from the players’ choice of video games to whether or not they would marry one audience member. They were asked about their routine and their favourite or least favou- rite parts about hockey. Photo by Samantha Pyear “It varies Monday through Saturday.
