Email: [email protected] Editorial Dear Gospel Fan, It is always a pleasure to hear of new ways in which Elvis is still having a positive effect on humanity. I recently listened to a wonderful BBC Radio 4 programme “Elvis - A Tribute in Dance - The Art of Living” Claire Cunningham is a Scottish choreographer and contemporary dancer who performs with crutches. The programme joined her in the studio during the research period for a new work, “Thank You Very Much”, which draws on Claire’s current fascination with Elvis Tribute Artists. Claire is intrigued by the difference between impersonation and tribute, what it means to train to become someone else - or an ideal of someone else - and relating this to the lived experience of disability. She asks, “Is this also a life of being pressured to be someone you are not?” The programme is a fun, exuberant and occasionally poignant mix of dance, music, singing, text and, of course, fabulous costumes. Through one-on-one masterclasses with Elvis Tribute Artists, practising harmonies, and offering up their own personal experiences of physiotherapy and speech therapy, the group not only learn to sing and dance like Elvis, but also explore how paying tribute involves bringing something of themselves into the act. These tasks become part of improvisations in the studio, from which the final show was devised.

  • BOOK of PRAYERS 2021-2024
    BOOK of PRAYERS 2021-2024 UNITED THANK OFFERING INTRODUCTION Dear Readers, Life is a collection of innumerable joys and successes as well as trials and sorrows. Paul admonishes us in 1 Thessalonians, “In everything give thanks,” no matter the circumstances. And so we are to thank God for the promotion, the successful surgery, or time with grandchildren. As well, we are to be thankful for any challenge in which God can move: losing a loved one, losing a job, or suffering a health crisis. We can allow God to celebrate with us or instruct us and comfort us. This little “Book of Prayers” owes its existence to a great many prayer warriors, men and women who’ve looked at life through grateful eyes, who’ve been “thankful in all circumstances.” May these prayers uplift you in your celebrations and uphold you when you experience “groans too deep for words.” We encourage each of you, as you experience these prayers, to join with a whole host of people who raise their voices in thanksgiving to God daily. Blessings to you and yours, The 2021–2024 Board of the United Thank Offering 3 UNITED THANK OFFERING PRAYER Gracious God, we come before you in the knowledge that although we are varied in our gifts, we are united as laborers of your harvest. With grateful hearts, we give thanks for the blessings and challenges that inspire the work of the United Thank Offering. May the offerings given to UTO as an expression of gratitude go on to address the needs of our ever-changing world.

  • The Cotton Boll Weevil and Its Lost Revolution, 1892-1930
    THE SOUTH’S GREATEST ENEMY? THE COTTON BOLL WEEVIL AND ITS LOST REVOLUTION, 1892-1930 by JAMES CONRAD GIESEN (Under the Direction of JAMES C. COBB) ABSTRACT When the cotton boll weevil crossed the Mexican border into Texas around 1892 and began a slow march across the Cotton Belt, many predicted that the pest would destroy the plantation South, whose economy and society rested on the production of cotton. As the pest began devouring the staple and moving through the region, land owners, tenants, politicians, and extension agents continued to paint the pest as a direct threat to their livelihoods. Despite the fear that gripped the South, by the time the weevil made its way to the Atlantic Ocean, the pest had made no major, lasting effect on the economic, social, or environmental structures of the region. This dissertation examines how individuals and communities in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia reacted to the arrival of the pest, and how in each place forces acted to use the boll weevil to advance their own purposes. Instead of blaming antiquated credit systems, Jim Crow racial codes, and poor agricultural practices, contemporaries and scholars alike used the boll weevil as a material scapegoat for enduring poverty in the rural South, as well as changes to the land and society that had little to do with the pest’s arrival.

    Elvis Presley 1 Elvis Presley Elvis Presley Alias The King Nom Elvis Aaron Presley Naissance 8 janvier 1935 Tupelo, États-Unis Décès 16 août 1977 (à 42 ans) Memphis, États-Unis Profession(s) Chanteur Acteur Genre(s) Rock 'n' roll Blues Country Gospel Ballade Années actives De 1953 à 1977 Elvis Aaron Presley, surnommé « The King » (8 janvier 1935 à Tupelo, Mississippi - 16 août 1977 à Memphis, Tennessee), est un chanteur et un acteur américain. Son influence sur la culture musicale est mondiale. De son vivant, Elvis a vendu environ 700 millions de disques, a joué dans 31 films, donné 1 054 concerts aux États-Unis et trois au Canada (Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa en 1957), et a donné 525 spectacles à Las Vegas[1] . Il a été le premier artiste à donner un concert retransmis par satellite. Le concert eut lieu le 14 janvier 1973 à Hawaï et fut regardé simultanément par un milliard de téléspectateurs dans 43 pays. Il est apparu dans sept émissions de télévision. À sa mort, sa fortune personnelle représentait 100 millions de dollars américains. Avec Michael Jackson, il est l'un des artistes solo qui a vendu le plus de disques dans le monde de son vivant. Ce phénomène a continué après sa mort car, rien que de sa disparition en 1977 jusqu'à 1980, il s'est vendu 400 millions de disques d'Elvis. Pendant ces quatre années consécutives, il a été l'artiste décédé qui a rapporté le plus d'argent. D'après le magazine américain Forbes, en 2007, Elvis arrive en tête des personnalités décédées les plus riches du monde avec 49 millions de dollars, soit 34 millions d'euros, devant John Lennon et Charles Schultz, dessinateur américain.
