The nationally televis ed Kohakø atagassen ('The Red and ÏVhite Song Contest') is one neglected topic of scholady research despite being a thriving contemporary tradition frmly centred in the popular consciousness. By way of addressing this gap, the following study considers the 50th Kohaku, held on New Yeat's Eve 1'999, as a landmark but yet representative edition of Kíhaka. In this light-hearted contest,Japan's most promirìent teerì idols, middle-aged rock stars and eldedy ballad singers are divided into men's and women's teâms, altetnating performances until one team is declared the victor at the end of the evening ,\lthough the rivalrous, 'battle of the sexes' format is intrþing in itself, the most captivating âspect of the programme is the sense of unity, congeniality and camaradete conveyed by the song performers. Taking this observation as a starting point, the study considers the performers as members of a community-the 50tu K¡haku Commtniry- and argues that song performance provides a key to undetstanding this gtoup and the broader implications of community at a sþificant moment in Kohaka history at the turn of the millennium.

  • HEALTH BENEFITS of APPLES a Report by Juliette Kellow RD Commissioned by Pink Lady® UK
    THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF APPLES A report by Juliette Kellow RD commissioned by Pink Lady® UK PART 1 SETTING THE SCENE INTRODUCTION The state of the nation’s health and what we should – and shouldn’t – be eating to stay healthy and live longer is rarely out of the news. It’s unsurprising considering so many of the diseases that are commonly seen in the Western world are linked to a poor diet. What we eat is known to influence our risk of developing many major health problems, including obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, many cancers and dementia. In fact, scientists have estimated that 11 million deaths around the world are related to a poor diet – that’s more than a fifth (22 percent) of all adult deaths1. So just what should we be eating to stay healthy? The message from health organisations around the world, including the World Health Organization, is consistent and really very simple: we should all be aiming to eat a more plant-based diet. That’s not to say we need to become vegetarian or vegan. Most health organisations agree there’s no need to give up meat, fish, eggs or dairy completely. However, plants should take centre stage on our plates and provide most of our nutrition2. This, of course, isn’t just better for our health. Numerous studies suggest it’s also better for the planet. This was summed up in a report published in The Lancet in early 20193. Compiled by 37 scientists from 16 countries around the world, the recommended diet – hailed as the ‘planet diet’– is projected to prevent around 11 million premature deaths each year by promoting a healthier, mainly plant-based, diet.

  • Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio Between the US and Syria
    Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Beau Bothwell All rights reserved ABSTRACT Song, State, Sawa: Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell This dissertation is a study of popular music and state-controlled radio broadcasting in the Arabic-speaking world, focusing on Syria and the Syrian radioscape, and a set of American stations named Radio Sawa. I examine American and Syrian politically directed broadcasts as multi-faceted objects around which broadcasters and listeners often differ not only in goals, operating assumptions, and political beliefs, but also in how they fundamentally conceptualize the practice of listening to the radio. Beginning with the history of international broadcasting in the Middle East, I analyze the institutional theories under which music is employed as a tool of American and Syrian policy, the imagined youths to whom the musical messages are addressed, and the actual sonic content tasked with political persuasion. At the reception side of the broadcaster-listener interaction, this dissertation addresses the auditory practices, histories of radio, and theories of music through which listeners in the sonic environment of Damascus, Syria create locally relevant meaning out of music and radio. Drawing on theories of listening and communication developed in historical musicology and ethnomusicology, science and technology studies, and recent transnational ethnographic and media studies, as well as on theories of listening developed in the Arabic public discourse about popular music, my dissertation outlines the intersection of the hypothetical listeners defined by the US and Syrian governments in their efforts to use music for political ends, and the actual people who turn on the radio to hear the music.

  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

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.

  • My Beloved Is a Bass Line: Musical, De-Colonial Interventions in Song Criticism and Sacred Erotic Discourse
    THE BIBLE & CRITICAL THEORY My Beloved is a Bass Line: Musical, De-colonial Interventions in Song Criticism and Sacred Erotic Discourse Heidi Epstein, University of Saskatchewan Abstract How might musical settings of the Song of Songs provide critical interventions in the politics of love? This case study builds a womanist intertextual matrix for the Song such that its amatory and horticultural language can be reinterpreted as irreducibly “de-colonial.” Reread through Chela Sandoval’s model of love, Alice Walker’s search for her foremothers’ and foresisters’ gardens, and Toni Morrison’s “commentary” on the Song (Beloved), the biblical text circulates de-colonial energies. And, given that music figures centrally in these womanists’ genealogies of love, a de-colonial reading of the Song mandates deconstruction of a subaltern musical archive within the Eurocentric discourse of sacred eroticism, a discourse that the Song sustains as an Ur-text. If the biblical female protagonist’s longing and seeking are reread as de-colonial and trickster-esque, she begets a subaltern musical family tree—audible today in the “Shulammitic” bass playing and protest singing of Meshell Ndegeocello. Key words Meshell Ndegeocello; Song of Songs; Bible and music; love; de-colonial theory; Toni Morrison; Alice Walker Introduction What meanings might be produced from the Song of Song’s amatory and horticultural language if it is read with a sense of love as irreducibly “de-colonial”? Some of these meanings shall emerge over the course of this article as I re-read the Song of Song’s imagery and its musicality in four phases through womanist intertexts by Chela Sandoval, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, and Meshell Ndegeocello.

  • Preliminary Investigations on Ground Experiments Of
    PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATIONS ON GROUND EXPERIMENTS OF VARIABLE SHAPE ATTITUDE CONTROL FOR MICRO SATELLITES *Yusuke Shintani1, Tsubasa Tsunemitsu 1, Kei Watanabe1, Yohei Iwasaki1, Kyosuke Tawara 1, Hiroki Nakanishi 1, 1 Saburo Matunaga 1 Tokyo Institute of Technology, Isikawadai 1st building, 2-12-1 I1-63 Ookayama, Meguro-ku, Tokyo, 152-8552, Japan, E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In this paper, we describe numerical simulations and ground experiments of variable shape attitude control proposed by the authors to achieve both the agile maneuvering and the high pointing stability. In the numerical simulations, the optimal control theory is applied for the attitude control in the shortest time. In the ground experiments, an attitude control performance evaluation experiment is conducted in a Figure 1: Concept of Variable Shape Attitude Control two-dimensional microgravity environment using an air levitation device. Also the vibration measurement In the VSAC, the maneuver angle of the satellite is carried out and the influence on the attitude of the main body can be determined by driving the amount satellite on orbit is discussed. of the paddle angles, and it is also possible to control the attitude angular velocity of the body by the 1 INTRODUCTION driving speed of the paddle. Moreover, the attitude is Micro satellites occupy important positions in the settled at the same time as the driving paddle is field of space development as they can demonstrate stopped, and the disturbance of the rotating body advanced missions on orbit. The launch number of during the stationary state is small if there is no micro satellites are now increasing, and it is flexible part in the satellite.

  • Adventures in Film Music Redux Composer Profiles
    Adventures in Film Music Redux - Composer Profiles ADVENTURES IN FILM MUSIC REDUX COMPOSER PROFILES A. R. RAHMAN Elizabeth: The Golden Age A.R. Rahman, in full Allah Rakha Rahman, original name A.S. Dileep Kumar, (born January 6, 1966, Madras [now Chennai], India), Indian composer whose extensive body of work for film and stage earned him the nickname “the Mozart of Madras.” Rahman continued his work for the screen, scoring films for Bollywood and, increasingly, Hollywood. He contributed a song to the soundtrack of Spike Lee’s Inside Man (2006) and co- wrote the score for Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007). However, his true breakthrough to Western audiences came with Danny Boyle’s rags-to-riches saga Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Rahman’s score, which captured the frenzied pace of life in Mumbai’s underclass, dominated the awards circuit in 2009. He collected a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award for best music as well as a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best score. He also won the Academy Award for best song for “Jai Ho,” a Latin-infused dance track that accompanied the film’s closing Bollywood-style dance number. Rahman’s streak continued at the Grammy Awards in 2010, where he collected the prize for best soundtrack and “Jai Ho” was again honoured as best song appearing on a soundtrack. Rahman’s later notable scores included those for the films 127 Hours (2010)—for which he received another Academy Award nomination—and the Hindi-language movies Rockstar (2011), Raanjhanaa (2013), Highway (2014), and Beyond the Clouds (2017).
