Arkansas History Through Music part _2__6-16-10John Jarboe
Arkansas History Through Music, Part Two, covers historical and musical high points from World War One through the 1940's, including music by Sonny Boy Williamson, Louis Jordan, William Grant Still, Conlon Nancarrow, and Luther Allison.
The Mighty Gabby Embodying Resistance in the Creative Process Ian Walcott-Skinner
Anthony Gabby Carter (1948 - ) is a living Barbadian cultural icon best known for his artistry through the lens of folk music and calypso. A thorough examination of Gabby’s oeuvre will fit him squarely into the movement of resistance art.
This presentation seeks to delve into the creative process to interrogate what were the sparks that ignited some of Gabby’s masterpieces, especially, the hits Jack, Culture and the iconic Wuk-up. Scientists across the globe are now examining what happens in the brain during this so-called creative process and we are beginning to gain some interesting insights from the likes of Professor Charles Limb.
Dr. John Hunte, the current cultural officer for dance at the National Cultural Foundation of Barbados, in his own work, has been interrogating and advancing the issues surrounding the dance form wuk-up in Barbadian culture. As such, this paper posits that Gabby is the embodiment of the ‘total’ performer who does not separate his voice, his pen and his dance all in an effort to reclaim and tell the story of his Africanity. The three become one in his completeness of performance, space and messaging. Through Gabby’s work, we see the emergence and/or re-presentation of wuk-up as a critical movement in the cultural and social resistance of a post-independent Barbados.

Daniel Vigletti, A Desalambrar” [Let’s tear down the fences]FOllieShoresna
Daniel Vigletti, “A Desalambrar” [Let’s tear down the fences]
From the album Canciones para mi America [Songs for My America], Uruguay, 1960s.
Yo pregunto a los presentes
Si no se han puesto a pensar
Que esta tierra es de nosotros
Y no del que tenga mas
Yo pregunto si en la tierra
Nunca habra pensado usted
Que si las manos son nuestras
Es nuestro lo que nos den
A desalambrar, a desalambrar
Que la tierra es nuestra
Es tuya y de aquel
De Pedro y Maria
De Juan y Jose
Si molesto con mi canto
A alguno que ande por alli
Le aseguro que es un gringo
O un dueno del Uruguay
A desalambrar, a desalambrar
Que la tierra es nuestra
Es tuya y de aqul
De Pedro y Maria
De Juan y Jose
A desalambrar, a desalambrar
Que la tierra es nuestra
Es tuya y de aquel
De Pedro y Maria
De Juan y Jose
I ask those present
if they haven't begun to think
that this land belongs to us
and not to the man who has most.
I ask if you never
would have thought of the land,
that if these hands are ours,
what they give us is ours.
Let’s tear down the fences,
The land is ours, yours, his,
Pedro and Maria's, Juan and Jose's.
If I annoy anyone with my song
someone that walks through here,
I assure you that he is a gringo
or an Uruguayan landlord.
Let’s tear down the fences
The land is ours, yours, his
Pedro and Maria's, Juan and Jose's
Let’s tear down the fences

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

‘Zombie’
(1977)
43. Fela
in
his
life
/me
was
never
"a
good
bedfellow"
of
the
military
ins/tu/on.
As
a
poli/cal
ac/vist,
he
believed
the
army
should
operate
under
the
mandate
of
a
civil
government.
If
na/onal
interest
compels
the
armed
forces
to
intervene
in
government,
the
army
is
obliged
to
hand
over
power
to
a
new
civil
government
elected
by
the
people
and
enjoying
their
mandate.
To
do
otherwise
is
to
usurp
power
par/cularly
since
a
soldier's
duty
is
not
to
seek
a
poli/cal
mandate.
For
emphasis
in
the
song,
he
narrates
the
military
in
mo/on
comparing
their
orienta/on
to
the
Zombie,
without
minds
of
their
own.
Fela
paid
a
big
price
for
this
bold
condemna/on
of
the
military
ins/tu/on.
One
thousand
members
of
the
Nigerian
army
a?acked
and
burnt
down
his
house
azer
the
release
of
the
record.
The
tribunal
set
up
to
inves/gate
the
cause
of
the
a?ack
as
a
result
of
the
public
out-‐cry
against
the
army,
heard,
as
part
of
the
evidence
presented,
an
example
of
the
Zombie
album
cover
with
the
military
uniform
and
boots
displayed
boldly.
The
army
jus/fica/on
of
the
a?ack
was
that
Fela
treated
the
military
ins/tu/on
with
levity.
