Along the way, he acquired a med-school degree and certifications that have enabled him to establish a practice as a functional medicine specialist and internist in Winter Garden. His patients include expatriates from Kazakhstan and other parts of the former Soviet Union. “It’s hard for them to find a Russian speaking physician who also understands their culture,” he says. “I’m also working on building a medical resort that will incorporate elements of my culture.” His heritage is extremely important to him: “We have a long and great history that ties us to Silk Road and Chingiz Khan,” he explains. A recent trip back home allowed Dr. Eldar and his kids to visit his parents and other relatives for the first time in a decade. But he's quite happy living here, in what he calls a “a civilized paradise. We used to come here to vacation ourselves before we made the move, and every time I come back I feel the same excitement.” “Tee” Buchin is the daughter of tahitian-born James Buchin, who came to Orlando by way of Hawaii and Key Largo, his work as a touring cultural musician eventually leading to employment at SeaWorld. Today, Tee and her family thrive as performers who preserve the traditions of his upbringing via music, dance, storytelling and genealogy. Practicing these pursuits at home as well as on the stage allows Tee and her family to celebrate the Mana, or life force, that they are taught connects everything. “We have been blessed to travel and make this a lifelong career,” James says, speaking of a family tradition of performance and education that extends from his children to his grandchildren – but it’s the opportunities Orlando continues to hold for performers and culturalists that keep the family headquartered here. “Warm weather and golf” drew Joe Choi to Central Florida from northern New Jersey five years ago – a move he paints as fairly quick and unglamorous, with just a carful of belongings and his dog in the front seat. Yet his personal path has been a good deal more colorful and involved: South Korean by parentage, he’s also spent a significant amount of time in Russia and the former Soviet Union. (“I actually speak better Russian than I do Korean,” he says.) Here in Orlando, he keeps his heritage alive by performing in improv shows, stage plays, films and commercials, where the representation of Asians is still running behind society at large. Living in such a tourist Mecca, he feels a responsibility to “pay forward" the kindness he’s encountered on his many travels: “It's a privilege to live in a place where the rest of the world vacations,” he says. Growing up in Northern Ireland in the midst of “the troubles,” Sarah Costello developed a strong sense of national identity that she was to carry with her when she began her career as a touring Irish dancer. Performing as part of a troupe that visited 31 countries in the space of nine years, she eventually made a lonely solo voyage to Orlando to work at Disney. Yet it is here that she has truly thrived, founding the Central Florida Irish Dance school that holds classes in several area locations (and which won the Entertainment grand prize at 2018’s inaugural FusionFest). “I have never felt so at home than I do in Orlando,” she says, thanks to our area’s cultural diversity in general and its strong Irish community, which helps her remain connected to her roots. “I have brought together lots of Irish immigrants and their families,” she says of her work here. “I am now teaching their first-generation American children the culture of Ireland and their heritage.” Anna Cuéllar had to learn a lot about the United States when she came to Orlando from Mexico 15 years ago to perform in Cirque du Soleil’s La Nouba – including not just our customs and culture, but the English language itself. Now she’s both a proud citizen and an entrenched artist, having spent the years 2004 to 2017 as an aerialist and team captain in the show, then moving on to a position as choreographer and artistic coach for the Cirque du Soleil at Sea cruise venture. In addition, she’s established herself as an independent choreographer and show producer whose works have been performed in locales ranging from New York to Las Vegas to Guatemala to back home in Mexico. Shows she created and produced were among the highlights of the last two editions of the Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival. “Orlando is my home now,” she declares, although she stays in touch with where she came from by eating traditional foods and attending celebrations at the Mexican consulate. “It is important to keep my culture, language, traditions and to preserve my cultural heritage,” she says, “because it keeps my integrity as a person and is a part of my history.” Arguably the most prominent Iranian-American in Central Florida, Anna Eskamani was elected in 2018 to represent the 47th District in our state House of Representatives. It was quite the accomplishment for a native-born Orlandoan whose parents came here four decades ago to seek the fabled American dream, but Anna had already distinguished herself via several leadership roles within the community, most recently Senior Director at Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida. An Orlando booster who praises us as “a young city and so malleable,” she makes it a priority to stay in touch with our Iranian-American community by hosting special cultural events (and by frequenting establishments like Longwood’s Ali Baba restaurant). Her heritage, she says, is “foundational to my lived experiences,” and has been a source of strength in the past when she has faced instances of racism and oppression. But she’s optimistic and enthusiastic about the direction in which already-diverse Central Florida is headed: “We really get to shape our community's future.” Elizabeth Fullington had to give up a lot to escape from Guyana three decades ago, when the country’s political climate became untenable for herself and her family. But after the “punishment” of being forced to surrender her assets, and what she calls a traumatic move to New York and then here, she’s found a new life that retains some of the comforts of the old (like the climate) within a more nurturing environment she has seen develop “beautifully and tremendously. My goodness, we can literally say we saw International Drive in its early stages of growth.” A music teacher since her days in Guyana, Elizabeth is the founder of the Ruby Holland Foundation for the Arts, an undertaking (named for her mother) that opens the doors of music education to students of modest means. Having now lived in Central Florida for longer than she did in the country of her birth, she says she’s very grateful for the heritage that has made her who she is today, and that has enabled her to introduce others to new opportunities and perspectives. Silvia Huddleston's love affair with dance began in her native Peru, where she graduated from the prestigious National School of Folklore José María Arguedas in Lima. Since then, she’s traveled the world, representing her home country at events like the opening ceremonies of the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul.

Despite their close economic relationship since 1965, their conflicting historic and political relationships and deep-seated prejudice against each other have continued. The Korean government’s official ban on the direct import of Japanese cultural products existed until 1997, but various kinds of Japanese cultural products, including popular music, found their way into Korea through various legal and illegal routes and influenced contemporary Korean popular culture. Since 1998, under Korea’s Open- Door Policy, legally available Japanese popular cultural products became widely consumed, especially among young Koreans fascinated by Japan’s quintessentially postmodern popular culture, despite lingering resentments towards Japan.

Delavar and Wolfgang Kainz Received: 13 June 2016; Accepted: 19 August 2016; Published: 25 August 2016 Abstract: With the development of service industry and cultural industry, urban leisure and entertainment services have become an important symbol of the city and the driving force of economic and social development. Karaoke, a typical form of urban entertainment, is immensely popular throughout China, and the number of karaoke bars is expected to keep growing in the future. However, little is known about their spatial distribution in the urban space and their association with other location-specific factors. Based on the geospatial entity data and business statistics data, we demonstrate a clustered pattern of 530 karaoke bars in Nanjing by means of point pattern analysis and cluster analysis in GIS. Furthermore, we identify the distribution of population, transportation network, and commercial centers as the three determinants underlying the formation of the pattern.

  • 19Th INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS on ACOUSTICS MADRID, 2-7 SEPTEMBER 2007
    19th INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON ACOUSTICS MADRID, 2-7 SEPTEMBER 2007 KARAOKE: Another 2 edges acoustic source ID1553 PACS: 43.50.Sr Elizondo-Garza, Fernando J.; Villalobos-Luna, José de Jesús Acoustics Laboratory, Facultad de Ingeniería Mecánica y Eléctrica, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León. P.O Box 28 “F”, Cd. Universitaria, San Nicolás, 66450, N.L., México; [email protected] ; [email protected] ABSTRACT Historical aspects of the social and technical evolution of the karaoke are presented in this paper. The implications of such entertainment device as a noise source are analyzed, mainly when it is used in inadequate conditions and spaces. The problems generated by the international introduction of Karaokes for home use is also discussed. I. INTRODUCTION Karaoke -in Japanese カラオケ- etymologically comes from the Japanese words: kara (空) that it means "emptiness" and oke, Japanese abbreviation of the word ōkesutora (オーケストラ) that it means "orchestra". Therefore, karaoke means "empty orchestra". Which implies "without orchestra", that is, that the singer does not need an orchestra to sing. [1]. The word "karaoke", that in the past was only included in the Japanese dictionaries, now can be found, among others, in the “Oxford Dictionary” or in the Dictionary of the Real Academia Española.[2] Karaoke is an A/V system in which a person sings to the microphone accompanied by an audio recording in which the voice of the original singer was eliminated. The letters of the songs appear in a screen emphasizing the words that will be sung, so that they can be followed without memorizing the lyrics of the song.
