La ventiquattresima edizione del Porretta Soul Festival si terrà al Rufus Thomas Park di Porretta Terme (Bologna) dal 21 al 24 Luglio con l’esclusiva europea di grandi personaggi della black music. Da oltre 20 anni Porretta Terme, importante località turistica dell’Appennino, al confine tra le provincie di Bologna e Pistoia, attraversata dalla storica linea ferroviaria Porrettana , ha consolidato la sua fama di “Soulsville Europe” grazie ad un festival che nel tempo è diventato la vetrina europea della musica soul. E se non bastasse, nella toponomastica della cittadina figura oggi una Via Otis Redding e il già ricordato Rufus Thomas Park. Dopo aver ospitato negli anni icone come Solomon Burke, Percy Sledge, Booker T. & The MGs, Wilson Pickett, Rufus & Carla Thomas, Isaac Hayes, LaVern Baker arrivano quest’anno una leggende vivente come Swamp Dogg e altri grandi artisti del grande Soul, tra cui Harvey Scales, alla sua prima volta in Europa. Swamp Dogg, irriverente, spregiudicato, aggressivo, oltraggioso, genio soul accostabile a Sly Stone o George Clinton, a Frank Zappa o Dike & The Blazers, figura carismatica e riferimento anche per molti artisti rock, si definisce il fallimento di più grande successo degli Stati Uniti. “Sono un piccione che non ha mai trovato il suo buco….ho preso tante di quelle direzioni che non ho mai trovato quella giusta!” dice di Swamp Dogg se stesso.

    Malcolm Wallop Civic Engagement Program K-12 Curriculum Project History of Elections Hacking – Teacher Resource Guide Laura Baker, Board President CyberWyoming Alliance Targeted Grades: Middle School (6-8)/High School (9-12) Wyoming Social Studies Standards Lesson Aligns With: - 8th grade standards: SS8.1.1, SS8.1.2, SS8.4.1, SS8.4.2 and SS8.4.3. - High school standards: SS12.1.1, SS12.1.2, SS12.4.1, SS12.4.2 and SS12.4.3. Presentation Summary: Cybersecurity is a growing concern among governments, businesses, and citizens in the United States and around the world. One aspect of this, foreign election hacking, has become a growing challenge to modern democracies, including the United States. By definition, election hacking (or more broadly election tampering) is the attempt by governments (and non-government groups) to covertly or overtly influence the elections of another country. This presentation looks at the allegations of recent election hacking in the United States, its origins, and raises questions about the implications this has for our democracy. The presentation traces the origins of Russian hacking to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics in Russia and presents a number of questions for your students to ponder about the implications this has for democratic elections and the future of American democracy. As you review the presentation in class, you can ask students about what they already knew and what they learned from this video to set up a discussion of broader implications for hacking and cyberspace for election security and beyond. Suggested Discussion Questions: 1. Do you think election hacking should be taken more seriously today? Why or why not? 2.
