The Marist Crusaders sliced the Samoana Sharks’ lead in the first quarter of the game, and made its biggest push of the game, with five minutes, the lead was 4-6. However, Samoana Sharks answered the push by hitting the Crusaders with three pointers that took them to lead until it ended.

  • Plano De Comunicação Em Mídias Sociais Para O Site MMA Brasil
    Plano de Comunicação em mídias sociais para o site MMA Brasil Florianópolis Novembro de 2017 1.Introdução1 O MMA Brasil, fundado em 2008, é um site sobre esportes de luta, com maior foco no MMA. Assim como outros sites que serão citados mais a frente, ele faz parte da geração de veículos de mídia que surgiram com a popularização da internet e de sites para criação de outros sites, como o Blogspot (do Google) e Wordpress. As mídias sociais são tecnologias e práticas online usadas por pessoas ou empresas para disseminar conteúdo (RECUERO, 2009, p.102 apud SOUSA; AZEVEDO, 2010), enquanto as redes sociais são os locais onde essas pessoas ou empresas se encontram (Facebook, Twitter etc.). A primeira rede social criada foi a Classmates2 em 1995, voltada a reencontros entre colegas de colégio ou faculdade. Depois disso surgiu o Six Degrees, primeiro a apresentar o modelo de mensagens privadas e postagens em murais. Paralelo a esses sites, surgia o ICQ, plataforma para mensagens instantâneas que serviu de base para o MSN Messenger e o Skype. O ICQ não é uma rede social, mas permitia a criação de grupos de chats onde pessoas com interesses em comum podiam conversar. O MySpace, da MSN, surge em 2003 com duas opções “revolucionárias”: permitia compartilhar músicas e manter um blog. Como marketing, a empresa teve como garotos propagandas Ronaldinho Gaúcho e David Beckham, que mantinham blogs atualizados na rede. Inclusive a banda Arctic Monkeys e a cantora brasileira Mallu Magalhães ganharam fama após a divulgação de suas músicas no MySpace. No ano seguinte, duas redes sociais surgiram: Facebook e Orkut.

Oddmund Toft Master thesis at the Department of Social Anthropology UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Spring 2018 II Becoming Marines in American Samoa: Disciplining mind and body in the making of a Marine identity. III © Oddmund Toft 2018 Becoming Marines in American Samoa: Disciplining mind and body in the making of a Marine identity. Oddmund Toft http://www.duo.uio.no/ Print: Reprosentralen, University of Oslo IV Abstract The territory of American Samoa in the southern Pacific, where I conducted fieldwork from January to June of 2017, has for many years been amongst the top places for recruiting personnel for the U.S. military. Everyone in American Samoa have a friend, sibling, family member or relative who are or have been in the military, and many use the military to gain access to education and money, and to help their family. In this thesis I explore the process of becoming U.S. Marines amongst a group of young people in American Samoa working to meet the requirements to go to boot camp. I argue that the time spent training for boot camp is simultaneously a period where they take the first steps towards acquiring the habitus and mindset of a Marine. I look at how they use shared values, brotherhood, as well as ways of thinking about progress, pain and how to live life, to create and maintain a shared identity as Marines. This topic is looked at through the lens of the body and the mind, and how they work together to create the Marine as a holistic and lifelong identity.
