Wikipedia:WikiProject R&B and Soul Music
|This WikiProject is believed to be semi-active.
Activity is slower than it once was. Remove the
|Semi-active parameter from this template if activity resumes or if this tag was changed in error. If almost no activity occurs in this WikiProject, consider replacing this tag with {{WikiProject status|Inactive}}.
Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to R&B, soul music, and funk music singers, musicians, bands, songs, and record labels.
This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.
A significant number of articles on important and influential R&B and soul-related persons or organizations, both past and contemporary, are small, underwritten stubs, fancruft, or non-existent. R&B and soul music, more so than any major music genres, have poor coverage in the Wikipedia. Hip-hop generally fares better; whether hip-hop will be included as part of this project is a subject open for vote. The purpose of this project is to expand, copyedit, and/or create these articles.
I understand that this is going to be a big task, one that not one person can handle by themself. Also, I realize that there are a lot of articles to be made, which is why I will try and organize the project in steps and waves, so that we take care of everything, but we don't try to do too much at one time.
R&B can stand for either rhythm and bass or rhythm and blues.

- WikiProject Mariah Carey
- WikiProject The Supremes
In general, this project will follow the rules set up on the WikiProject Music page. Here are just a few added notes:
- Do not create links for articles for albums, songs, or persons that do not exist, unless an article is seriously needed and you can create that article. When you do create an article for a song, person, or album, be sure to run a search and link your article on any other Wikipedia pages where it should be linked.
- Try to be as concise as possible. The article should cover all phases of the group's career (even unpopular ones), but it should do so in as few words as possible. Try to include only important and major facts and group information; simplification and directness are important.
Specific to articles on solo performers/personsEdit
- Follow the same basic Wiki biographic format for the person. Be sure to mention their ethnicity, exact repertoire, record label, and significance.
- The body of the article should focus on the performer's career, including only significant personal information (marriages, offspring etc) and avoiding trivia (favorite food/color). If the person was in a major group, discussion of their participation in the group should be brief and focus on the person's major contributions to the group.
Specific to articles on groups/bands/actsEdit
Articles for performers should adhere to the following format:
- The header should contain the band name, any important abbreviations or aliases, nationality, genre repertoire, year and place of creation, year of disbanding, record label, significance, and all members of the group. If there were more than ten members, list all founding members and any important successors.
- The body of the article should focus on the group, including how the members met, how they started the group, and the inner workings of the act itself. Personal details about individual members should be mentioned only if they affect the group or its members.
The articles on Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson and The Supremes are in the direction we want to push the other articles towards.
Use this example page as a guide to creating and/or cleaning up articles for each act. It contains editing directions and a style guide: /Example Page
Hierarchy definitionEdit
Phase one: cleaning up present articlesEdit
- Three articles are close to ready for being featured. These three need to be slightly revised to follow the format similar to the other music articles and the template.
- The articles for R&B and soul music need formatting, link cleanup, and expansion. Other major genres in serious need of attention:
- The article for List of number 1 R&B hits (USA) should be divided up and edited to match List of number-one hits (United States). The basis for the re-write is at List of number 1 R&B hits (USA)/temp.
- Sound samples should be uploaded to both artist and genre pages.
In need of major improvementEdit
- The following pages are those of acts who need their pages expanded and/or corrected to follow the template, as they stand now:
- Al Green: NED
- Curtis Mayfield: IRSNED
- George Clinton: RSED
- The Delfonics: IRNED
- Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes: IRSNED
- Junior Walker & the All Stars: IRSNED
- New Edition: IRSED
- P-Funk: IRSND
- Sam Cooke: RSED
- Smokey Robinson: IRSNED
- Martha & the Vandellas: RSE
- Danity Kane: RSN
- FAME Studios" IRE
- Etta James: RSED
- Barry White: IRSNE
- The Spinners: IRSD
- Philippé Wynne: IRSNED
- Change (band): IRSED
- I = needs image (photo in addition to album cover), R = needs references/fact-checking, S = needs sound samples, N = needs neutralizing/points-of-view attributing, E = needs major expansion, D needs full discography
(if you find more related articles that need cleanup, add them here).
In need of minor improvementEdit
These articles only need a few minor fixes. No articles in this section should need major expansion or POV editing.
- Beth Rowley: R
- Boyz II Men: S
- James Brown: S
- Jodeci: S
- The Marvelettes: RS
- T-Pain: IRS
- Mary Wells: RS
- The Miracles: RS
- Misha B: S
- Solomon Burke: S

- I = needs image (photo in addition to album cover), R = needs references/fact-checking, S = needs sound samples, D needs full discography
Sufficiently improvedEdit
- The Jackson 5
- Marvin Gaye
- The Supremes
- The Isley Brothers
- LeToya Luckett (now a good article)
Phase two: creation of new articlesEdit

Customer Reviews and Testimonials
Visas and Work Permits, worked with me to gain my PR, the process is lengthy and the application gets moved from one person to another. But their care to the service and process the application goes through is always in presence.
Saher Ahmed
One of the very best consultants if I may have to say in U.A.E Good thing about this consultancy which i liked is that they give you a honest feedback and are available round the clock for any queries . Extremely happy to recommend everyone.
Visas and Work Permits Consultants are the most competent and credible team of immigration lawyers I have come across.Their method of case handling speaks of their professionalism and expertise. Thank you Visas and Work Permits Consultants for providing me with accurate advice for UK Visit Visa to avoid a refusal this time.
Mohammed Ali
Visas and Work Permits helped me obtain my 489 visa for Australia after I went to a different company and they told me that I would not qualify for this visa I was very unhappy so I called Visas and Work Permits thinking that they would tell me the same thing but they told me differently which I was so happy about cannot thank them enough.
Roshan Ali
Visas and Work Permits have really helped me turn my life around. I actually never thought I'd get a job so easily when I first decided to move to another country. However, I contact Visas and Work Permits and in no time, I was gainfully and happily employed.
Akhtar Ali
Visas and Work Permits helped us from a very disastrous application from a previous company. We were cheated and we wasted a lot of money. Glad a friend recommended Visas and Work Permits. We trusted them immediately as it was referred by a reliable friend who also got his visa thru this company. They have informed and properly processed every requirement we need for Canadian permanent residency. And finally after so many ups and downs for past years, through Visas and Work Permits, we finally got the grant. We are very grateful for this opportunity.
Kristine Cruz
Visas and Work Permits is an accredited company and with the knowledge of that fact, my fears were instantly alleviated. They are really professional and their work processes are extremely thorough. I had no issues working with them at all.

I and my wife were looking for a visa services company that could help us offer our Canada PR visa. After meeting several immigration Consultants in Dubai, we came across Visas and Work Permits. Meeting their visa consultant for the first time, he explained to us the overall process and assured us the best possible outcomes. On agreeing on all the terms, we were offered an immigration lawyer who handled our PR visa case. It was all of his dedication and professional approach that has helped us settle in Canada happily. Thank you Visas and Work Permits.
Hasim Ahmed

176 Freedom Camping
21 Nelson
Certified self-contained vehicles only.
Maximum 23 vehicles.
The area designated for camping is indicated by blue line making in the car park.
This car park is right in the middle of the Nelson CBD and are in the Nelson City Council 24 hour liquor ban area.
Tourists have been issued with $250 fines, and in some cases arrests have been made of those who have breached the ban.
It is a breach of the liquor ban, even if it is a quiet wine with dinner.

We stayed on a Friday night and it was a bit noisy with the bars and the local kids skateboarding until late, but overall nice convenient location. Clean facilities and respectful campers.
Save up to 70% on campsite fees! Support conservation and experience the natural beauty of NZ. 78 Department of Conservation campsites, one convenient pass.
Tamara & Brittany
Ranking: 8/10
Easily accessible for a night to sleep. Plenty of room for us. Public toilets well lit, reasonably clean. Disabled only at night time we're open, but fine. Keep in mind it's in the middle of a shopping centre square. Lots of night noice, but not too bad.
FYI Monday morning 6am the bins get emptied, so don't plan to be awake past this.
And lastly, we actually noted that someone had wrote on our window "stay away" was a little creepy knowing someone was that close to us at night while we were sleeping.

Access savings worth hundreds of $$ on Top Ranked NZ Accommodation and Activities for just $1 per day.

Extremely crowded, rubbishy and messy campers seem to choose this location. Should be warned....if your not there to party, don't stay. Close to bars and very loud throughout the evening to sunrise! Awoke many times to German raves in the lot to drunken antics! Perfect for the young camper on the party scene! Not for us :( did make for a good story to tell!
Nelson Resident
Ranking: 10/10
Many campers ignore the bylaws and pitch tents, leave Rubbish everywhere and wash their dishes in public bathrooms. Some even take up 2 carparks by placing their chairs in the neighbouring park, preventing residents from parking in their own city. We love visitors and the majority are, I imagine, polite. HOWEVER, many many campers have in recent times exploited our city, and this is why you will feel animosity from many when staying here. Our carparks are full, and there is a liquor ban. PLEASE, if you choose to stay, then do so with respect that residents are PAYING for YOU to have these free facilities........
Each camping location is approved by a regional council in NZ. So if it shows on the map, you're allowed to stay.

Beware that camping is free over night but you may get a fine after 8am if you do not display a parking ticket.
Connie Hopper
Ranking: 6/10
Good for location, toilets are clean and left open overnight. Bins, but I couldn't find the water tap for filling water bottles. Monday-Friday you have to be leaving by 8am, On the weekend it's 9am but you also get a 'free hour ticket' from the machine - not sure if this is the same for Monday-Friday.
Christopher Brown
Ranking: 3/10
The good news is it's free. Unfortunately on the night we visited, a group of local youths turned up with a boom box in the boot of their car and played really loud music until 1am. They were also drinking and smoking. Very aggressive with loud expletives and insults when some people asked them to turn the music down. My wife and I were unable to leave as we had been exploring the craft beer scene and were not legal to drive. Felt very unsafe and got little sleep. Weirdly, the police drove through the car park and did absolutely nothing so I can only assume this behaviour is condoned to dissuade more campers from freedom camping. We got a knock from the police at 7:50am to let us know we needed to leave or get a parking ticket though! Cannot recommend unless desperate. Stay out of town.
Tatiana Rochereau
Ranking: 9/10
Very cool to sleep for free in town. We stayed the Saturday night so it was noisy. There is not much shade. We were the attractions, some people took photos and others just walked around us to look at our way of life.

HKUST Publishing Technology Center (PTC) announced that it has become the first facility among Hong Kong education institutions to obtain Forest Stewardship Council Chain-of-Custody (FSC- COC) certification. As one of HKUST's teaching and learning supporting units, PTC provides printing, design, digital media and publishing services for the university, and has been promoting sustainable design and printing on campus.
Obtaining the FSC-COC certification demonstrates the commitment of the PTC to ensuring that all wood and paper materials have gone through a rigorous, step-by-step tracking process to demonstrate they comply with the highest environmental and conservation criteria. The certification provides documentation that any company in this supply chain—including harvesters, processors, manufacturers, distributors, printers, retailers or anyone that is taking ownership of the forest product before the end user—needs to meet the FSC certification protocol. Without this certification, at any point in the supply chain process, an end retailer will not be able to label or promote their products as FSC certified.
Mr Thomas Ng, Director of PTC, said "By becoming the first printing facility among local education institutions obtaining the FSC-COC certificate, it signifies HKUST's commitment to sustainable printing. It will increase users' confidence in our printed products and enhance the University's image."
To receive the certificate, PTC reconfigured the Center's Printshop to meet FSC requirements and have staff training before an audit exercise conducted by FSC. The whole process took around 6 months, including the time to convince FSC headquarter to approve a non-commercial printer like us for FSC-COC certification. The FSC-COC certificate will last for 5 years and is extendable, and will be audited annually.
The certification means that, by using PTC's FSC service, usersnow have the option to add the "FSC Certified" logo on their printed materials. Mr Ng feels there is a great value for doing so; "As PTC Director, I encourage our colleagues and students to choose FSC printing." While the potential for FSC print jobs is expanding, Mr Ng recognizes that there is still some work to do. "We now use FSC certified paper if the jobs allow, but not for all the printing work yet. We are piloting FSC workflow for offset printing jobs and later for digital printing as their turnaround time may be too short for the FSC process."
PTC is recently working on an online system to facilitate material tracing process for FSC jobs. Once the system is ready, a simple website on PTC will be available for FSC services and more publicity to engage the campus community will follow.
About FSC
FSC is a global, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of responsible forest management worldwide. Sustainable forest management ensures forests meet the social, ecological, and economic rights and needs of the present generation without compromising those of future generations.

At UWCSEA, we strive for a sporting culture in which learning from failure as well as success is central. Students are encouraged to participate in a wide range of sports, rather than focusing on a single one, and to take responsibility for their learning both individually and as teams. The Sports programme teaches students life lessons and gives them the opportunity to create new friendships and overcome challenges, rather than focusing on wins, losses or professional aspirations.
2017/2018 has again been a very successful year in sport across the College, with a combined 15 SEASAC Championship titles. Results however, are just the icing on the cake. The cake itself is, more importantly, constructed out of solid work on a daily basis, built on a foundation of strong UWCSEA values. Our players embrace the mindset that 'strong habits today will help fulfil our dreams for tomorrow' and this year's SEASAC results continue to reflect the students' ongoing dedication and commitment to strong habits.

About SEASAC
Established in 1995, the South East Asia Student Activities Conference (SEASAC) is an association of 15 international schools in and around the region. SEASAC promotes student/school activities which provide and encourage opportunities for healthy competition, pursuit of excellence, social and cultural interaction, and the development of friendships across the member schools. Annually, SEASAC events include sports tournaments, an Arts Festival, and a Model United Nations conference.

For some, 2015 may be remembered as the year of the drought. For others, it will remind them of the media's obsession with how the drought could raise prices on specific crops, nuts, livestock... and whatever else was the flavor of the day. While overall crop production was hurt by the drought, for the most part, it was largely overstated in the media. In fact, California dodged a bullet this year as crop production remained relatively stable.
The 2015 drought tightened it's grip on the California agriculture sector, costing the state's agricultural economy about $1.84 billion and 10,100 in seasonal jobs. This represents about a 30% increase in lost workers and cropland out of production when compared to 2014, according to the latest drought impact report by the Center for Watershed Sciences at the University of California, Davis. Considering the State's farms and ranches received $46.4 billion for their output in 2013, the drought barely made a dent into the overall agricultural economy within the state.
The researchers at UC Davis did note that the agricultural economy continues to grow within the fourth year of consecutive drought, due in large part to the state's vast reserves of groundwater. The researchers estimated that the declining reserves helped to offset about 70% of the surface water shortage this year, but the effects of continued drought through 2017 could worsen the economic impact by as much as 6%.
Anecdotally, it appears the biggest way the drought has impacted farmers is accelerated growth. Almond farmers note that production is up to 12 days earlier than usual. Pacific Coast Producers noted that the peach harvest in Marysville and Yuba City will end a day earlier than last year in it's latest crop update (Aug. 18). Wine grape growers in the region also report a wide variety of start times, with some pinot noir growers reporting harvests that are early by three weeks. One noted that he usually starts picking pinot noir the first week of September:
"'This year, we'll be done for sure by the end of August,' he said. 'Which sounds crazy — to finish before we typically start.'"
There's no doubt that California desperately needs rain, and that the long-term economic viability and success of it's agricultural sector will rely upon receiving rainwater to allow groundwater sources to replenish. But the agricultural economy in the state continues to thrive. At least for one more year...

Artists Creating Change
by: Tara Nadjd Ahmadi
Friday 18 September 2009
Change for Equality: I have been active in the Feminist movement in Iran for several years. During these years, I have come across certain questions, the answers for which I am still struggling to find. The following are some examples:
• How much and to what extent can I use artistic expression as a political/social statement?
• What is the form and nature of feminist-artistic activism?
• What distinguishing factors differentiate between protest art and other forms of artistic expression?
• As a woman and a marginalized member of a patriarchal society, how can I express my objection to the status quo through the use of art?
The Indifference of Artists to Social Issues in Iran
In a society like Iran where art is viewed as a gift of the gods and sacred and divine, reducing the position of the artist and artistic creation to the earthly so that she can address tangible issues corresponding with real life concerns is not an easy endeavor. The ability to express and create protest art, so that it objects to the status quo in a constructive, dynamic and creative manner, rather than a mere expression of dissatisfaction is extremely difficult, as in our collective history, whether through writing, culture, literature, daily conversations, there exists an enormous but inactive opposition, which has gradually lost its own power. In essence without the necessary agency intent on creating change the narrator or the artist has limited and reduced herself to the simple expression of pain and hardship.
The history of art, literature and music in Iran is filled with a conservatism and heroism which seeks to glorify the collective identity and history and is less focused on social action, as a form of creating change. It is characterized by a male-oriented history which pushes to the side all those marginalized allowing in the end for a hard and solitary entirety to rise up in a central position, leaving no space for the marginalized to be seen or heard. This form of art has been promoted by governments and dominant religious elites as the official art, and as such has at once captured all viewers.
The "official" art sector which is rooted in religion and spirituality has in past years with the support of men in power elevated the artist to a celestial and godlike creator who free of worldly affairs recreates sacred texts and tales with a moral message. Calligraphy based on sacred texts, and the retelling of the stories of the prophets and saints through religious passion plays or Tazieh is a part of this general trend in Iranian art.
Given such a cultural and historical background a large number of artists in recent years have taken refuge in their private homes and in the recesses of their own minds to describe the world outside through paranoid poetic illustrations. In an effort to escape censorship imposed on their descriptions of the world which often only encompasses their immediate surroundings and about which they are most often grumbling, it remains unclear where and to what their dark and bitter images refer. Is it true that to fight censorship, we must censor ourselves?
The Historical Use of Art in Protest
The Dadaists expressed their opposition and protest to the existing artistic trends of their time, through conducting acts which were against cultural norms in public spaces—something that later in the context of art history came to be known as anti-art. In so doing, they had a clever goal. The Dadaists, having been denied the use of theatre halls and art galleries, would impose their own presence in public spaces. In small groups and without use of décor, a stage or even a specific written play, they would begin speaking. They would show films which were in clear opposition to the dominant culture promoted by the bourgeois artistic community. Whenever they did not have the opportunity to perform or show their art, the Dadaists would use their own bodies, as a representation of that which did not conform to the acceptable norm of dress, culture and behavior, to express their opposition. In between their short performances or films, they would recite the speeches of politicians from newspaper clippings, exactly as they had been printed, but delivered in a manner that would compel the audience into fits of laughter, or even at times would end in verbal and physical fights and arrest by police.
With their creative and lively approach, the Dadaists would work to undermine the existing order of society and they did this through their unusual and unnatural presence in public spaces. They imposed their opposition through their unique presence in public spaces. With great courage, they would laugh at themselves and at others and through unusual acts and endless jokes. In so doing, they quickly turned into a threat to the aesthetics beliefs of the artistic elites of their day and the culture of museums and theatre of the bourgeoisie. Their films and theatrical performances were full of strange and moving criticisms. Their approach was so effective in fact that for the first time and in a serious manner they put forth the thesis of anti-aesthetic as valued criteria for artistic expression.
The organizers of the play "Bread and Puppet" in the United States in the 1960s can also be classified as another group who utilized street performances and protest art as a means to express their ideas. The play "Bread and Puppet" served as a model for a number of young theatrical groups who felt the need to work outside the traditional artistic community and traditional art organizations to address the immediate developments in society and their own daily lives. This play was in touch with the anti-racist and anti-war movements. In essence this new tradition turned its back to the dominant artistic tradition of theatre performed in coffee houses and churches, a tradition which imposed specific methods and places for forms of theatrical expression. In reality this new approach for creative expression was an attempt to exit the traditional forms and structure of theatre. These radical movements did not receive financial support from foundations. This style of art had its own special characteristics as well. Costly costumes, set decorations, and lighting, were non existent in this new form. The actors freely expressed their own personalities. There was no specific script limiting the dialogue of the actors. The scripts were developed through the process of working on the play and were developed in their shortest forms. This new tradition was based on action, rather than dialogue.
This theatre group had a different style of performance. One was street performance, which was performed in a radical manner, with differing storylines and even at times improvised. On occasion and in response to certain social and political developments the theatre group would stage small symbolic street protests. While these protests may have not had much impact or may have not received much press, still they can be viewed as worthy efforts even on a small scale to question the existing political order and to ridicule and damage the existing power structure.
For example, in these protests, the protesters would carry small plastic bags filled with blood, and at an appropriate time, when the police was ready to attack the crowd with batons the protesters would pour the blood on their heads. The Guerrilla theatres of "Mark Sterin" which lacked actors in their traditional sense would use protesters to express concerns. These protesters would paint the flag of Vietnamese Freedom Front on US Mail Boxes to voice their objection to the war, or they would write slogans on restaurant menus or paint cars. In this way Guerrilla theatre worked to undermine the dominant structure of society and through the use of theatre and performances would work to express and critique reality. Art is not necessarily the demonstration of a reality rather it is action, the creation of an event which strives to be the catalyst for change. The act of pouring blood on the heads of protesters and onlookers, seeks to demonstrate the oppressive nature of the American Regime in its purest and most direct form and through the use of irony. The lapse of time between the lifting of the threatening batons and its landing on the intended target, looses its intensity and significance through this act of protest and resistance.
In 1970 twelve members of the "Bread and Puppets" theatre separated from their colleagues to form another street theatre group, with a new message and different approach at raising issues of social concern. This group moved through the streets intent on creating and performing street plays addressing women's rights. They built their dolls themselves, produced and distributed leaflets, and newspapers which used a significant amount of drawings and pictures to relay their message. Their protest style, unlike that of the Dadaists, was not based on discussion and debate and the creation of pandemonium. In fact when local council members showed up for discussion and debate, the theatre group would leave their location, because they did not perceive debate as part of their responsibility. Rather they viewed their responsibility as one focused on creating and igniting debate, in an environment where debate and discussion had been forgotten.
Their protest marches were colorful and filled with satire and comedy. They aimed to change art into social commentary, transforming it from a beautiful illusion to a biased witness of the injustices of the real world. This transformation was based on the exit of art from an environment defined by ideological rhetoric which claimed that should be autonomous and pure. Street theatre is a good example of how movements have worked through art to create change. This kind of action oriented art, intends to impact the audience and their approach toward and understanding of social realities, rather than present a good play on stage.
It is such that in the twentieth century different forms of social, political, revolutionary, and movement arts appear with the aim of impacting various segments of society and social and political developments through the establishment of close relationships with their intended audiences. In visual arts we can point to environmental art, or "happenings," performance art and street theatre.
Through these developments theatrical performances because of their dynamic relationship with the audience finds a broader and new place for itself. Theatre moves from limited and closed theatre halls and the stage to find a place among the people, so that it can begin to address social concerns, and in so doing finds a simple and communal language through which to communicate with its audience—the ordinary public.
Contemporary feminist movements have commonly utilized these artistic strategies and have tried to relay their issues through use of drama in a manner designed to excite the audience. The following are some examples of this type of effort:
In 1968 a US beauty pageant winner started a protest designed to protest the objectification of women by the media. During the course of this protest, in a symbolic move, women began throwing articles of clothing and accessories, such as hair clips, purses, belt buckles, tight clothing, stockings, and high heels in a garbage can. This action-based performance was shared with ordinary people on the street, who in response also took part in the protest.
In the 1990s a group of female artists, writers and poets initiated a project by the name of "Silent Witness" in an effort to protest the increasing number of women murdered by their partners. This group built about 27 simple wooden statues and carved the name of a woman who had been victimized as a result of domestic violence on each of the statues. "Silent Witness" members holding these statues then marched through the streets of their city. The success of this project was such that in 1997 fifty US states had acquired a collection of statutes. According to the members of "Silent Witness" their goal was to reduce the number of murders resulting from domestic violence to zero by the year 2010.
In 2003 a coalition of women activists, in an effort to protest US war policies and expenditures, utilized an innovative awareness raising approach. The members of this Coalition calculated the amount of contribution of each individual tax payer toward defense spending, and distributed copies of tax returns with the amount of individual contribution toward defense spending to citizens across the city of New York. Additionally the members of this Coalition used comparative figures demonstrating how these expenditures could be used otherwise to provide assistance to poor women and children.
In 2007 one of the most recent examples of such actions took place in front of the US Congress in Washington, DC. In this performance, which aimed to protest the war, approximately 40 persons dressed in sheep's clothing and set out to engage with ordinary citizens and onlookers.
While many of these efforts do not meet the necessary criteria to be considered as an artistic act in its classical and purest of forms, they still enjoy an essential element of creativity and protest which seeks to engage and is able to impact thought in ways similar to a live performance.
Contemporary Iranian Feminist Artists
The contemporary cinema of Iran, which addresses socials concerns and has received much acclaim for its creativity faces many challenges. Most notable of the challenges faced by Iranian cinema is censorship, such as that witnessed with respect to the screening of the works of Jafar Panahi, the censoring of women's singing, lack of ability to address the concerns of or even the existence of homosexuality, and lack of space for the expression of the most basic of women's demands. In fact, the censorship is so great that often the consequences of speaking about issues which are deemed to be taboo include interrogations and imprisonment.
Women's issues in particular are viewed as highly political in Iran. Approximately 50 of my closest friends in the One Million Signatures Campaign have been arrested due to their activism on behalf of women's rights. Two of these women were arrested and subsequently spent two weeks in prison while photographing a street play on polygamy.
Despite all these pressures small groups of feminist artists insist on continuing with the production of their works. They create short videos with feminist themes which are shown in private galleries and gatherings. They create posters and clips designed to protest the arrest of their friends or to express their demands for women's rights. They create short documentaries which are shot covertly, or like Raha Asgarizadeh, who took photographs of a feminist street play a few minutes before she was arrested, they work to document social events addressing women's rights through art. These artistic productions speak of a new type of visual arts in Iran, a feminist art, which seeks to move in opposition to the status quo and through its mere persistence and resistance seeks to express itself.
These are artistic creations which will in all likelihood never be archived and registered, and will in all likelihood escape notice by most Iranian art historians and art sponsors, who are accustomed to the usual and predominant forms of artistic creation and expression and like to view paintings in galleries, films in cinemas, and posters on main city billboards.
Creative Action
Presentation of art on the street is one of the most notable examples of the dialogue of art with the public and one of the main strategies for breaking free of the closed space and elite nature of the arts, to develop a direct and unmediated relationship with society as a whole. Compared to art which is presented in galleries or theatres, where the audience chooses with awareness to engage with art, street art through a different form imposes itself on a broad public audience which is diverse in nature and background.
The presence of protest in the form of art on the streets in societies with unpopular and undemocratic governments is viewed as highly political and is therefore controlled and limited. Despite this reality, the street or public sphere remains the most viable option in terms of physical space for expression of protest, especially for those who are denied the space to express even the slightest of dissent.
The presence and the showing of films on walls in the street and in public spaces by protest groups is a concept unfamiliar and possibly incomprehensible to those of us who have not had the opportunity for take advantage of public spaces for the simplest forms of expressions. Still the showing of a few short independent street plays with limited news coverage in Tehran, demonstrates that the presence of independent art groups intent on expressing their demands and working to create change is possible.
These types of artistic expressions can take shape through interaction and in direct relation to other dissenting forces and social and political movements. Because art in its most common and typical form is a part of the stale cultural industry and works to justify and promote the status quo, even protest art will be assessed based on and in relation to the dominant and common political structure. Ultimately protest movements must seek to create and promote art that is spontaneous, low cost, and educational—cinemas of sorts which correspond to the nature of the movement and offer innovative and new commentary and interpretations of what is not readily visible or perceived as valuable. Promoters of "happenings" through similar experiences have denounced artistic values which ultimately end in justifying and confirming the interests of existing political systems. In their view artistic works are not that useful or sustainable, and as such they should be used to create a development or happening that impacts the perception and thinking of the audience.
Another factor which differentiates protest art is its style of presentation. In essence the presentation style of this type of art is a major characteristic defining its identity and its ability to have impact through protest. Because those groups who create protest art tend to lack financial resources, poverty for them has transformed into a necessary strategy for resisting the status quo. They use low cost spaces such as garages, inexpensive public halls, empty houses, demolished buildings or ultimately the street for their performances. This type of presentation results in discussion and debate and ultimately because of its shock effect and ability to impact social perception can be viewed as an effort working to bring about a cultural revolution.
For example, this style of presentation in theatre and film, despite its impact cannot endure a long life, because there is lack of understanding and often resentment on the part of the audience, who is accustomed to viewing film and theatre in large and technologically modern theatre halls. The discomfort felt among the audience with respect to the form of presentation can also be viewed positively in terms of the impact this approach may have on undermining the concept of maximizing profits in capitalist societies or even questioning the usefulness of technology. So if the aim of this style of film and theatre and their presentation is to create a spark of thought, which is exemplified in the reaction of the audience, then it has been successful even if on a small scale.
Protest art uses the concept of games as a strategy for impact as well. While a game in and of itself may not be useful in igniting thought and discussion or creating change, in this form it can serve the aims of protesters. The light and lively atmosphere created through games allows the audience to abandon its belief system imposed by a dominant political and patriarchal structure and begin to ask questions. The disobedience that exists in games and then the presentation of ideas and invitation for scrutiny through the presentation of artistic works breaks the sacred male value system. Games as described by Grisbakh, lack strict rules and the need for technical knowledge and allow us to exit our own experiences and perceptions. By positioning games in the public view, even through an unaesthetic form, the artistic work is able to have impact even through the creation of discomfort.
Today despite all the limitations women's rights activists and feminist movements face in Iran, art has opened up a new path for the presentation of ideas and for establishing relationships with our intended audience. Art allows us to connect with people, while providing a cover so that we can hide from the scrutinizing gaze of governments intent on stopping us. Art combined with a feminist message has

- Move Around More. Get your heart beating and the blood flowing by moving. Taking a walk, as exhausting as it sounds, will help you get your energy up. Walking and exercising helps you to sleep better which will ensure more energy throughout the day. During the day, a walk will be that little energy boost you need to keep you going. Change of scene, change of atmosphere, and change of focus.
- Take More Naps. Nothing says reboot like a good nap. Research has shown that 20 minutes of deep sleep can be the same as sleeping for hours. A 90 minute nap in the middle of the day can boost creativity, productivity, and focus. Just make sure to nap before 4pm. Late afternoon and evening naps can interrupt normal sleep cycles, causing you to feel less energetic the next day.
- Get More Sunshine. Vitamin D is good for your mind and your body. Getting outside helps you to breathe fresh air, and inspires you to move around. After sitting indoors during group after group in treatment, opt outside of fifteen minutes. Getting in the sunshine helps reboot your body's natural energy and will feel refreshing.
- Stay Away From Your Phone More. More than likely, you won't have access to your phone in treatment. However, some treatment centers allow residents to maintain use of their phones, tablets, or other smart devices. If you're in between groups, texting, email checking, and mindlessly scrolling through your newsfeeds, you're hurting your energy. The blue light behind digital screens is draining but creates a hyperfocus in the mind. Do yourself a favor and stay off the phone as much as possible. Chances are, you aren't missing much.
- Drink More Water. Hydration is essential for energy. Getting dehydrated can make you feel slow, lethargic, and even moody. Each day, you should be drinking close to half your body weight in fluid ounces.
- Dance More Often. Like walking and exercising, dancing is a great way to get your heart pumping. Only, dancing tends to be a bit more fun. Dancing will help you let loose, have a laugh, and enjoy yourself. You'll feel full of energy afterwards.
- Pay It Forward More. Giving feels good. When we give to others, either in gift, consideration, or accountability, we give ourselves an energy boost. Pay it forward a few times a day to maintain that fresh giving buzz.

Secret deodorant's decision to donate $529,000 to the members of the U.S. Women's National Soccer team is the latest piece of gender- and equal rights-related news recently generated by a Procter & Gamble-owned brand.
The soccer announcement, made through a full page ad published in Sunday's New York Times, gives $23,000 to each of the 23 World Cup-winning players. The players have made headlines throughout the tourney by highlighting the huge pay gap between women's and men's clubs.
The ad is headlined "Women Just Made History. But They Have Always Deserved Equal Pay."
"As a brand for women run by women, Secret wholeheartedly believes women should not have to sweat being paid fairly," Sara Saunders, the associate brand director for Secret, says in a statement. "We have supported this history-making team all year long, and we are focused on driving advocacy and action for systemic change."
The text also explains that "23 pairs of chromosomes make up one winning athlete, female or male. 23 is a prime whole number. It can never be divided. 23 is the number of strength." (The italics are as they appeared in the ad.)
Perhaps predictably in these fractious times, Twitter reaction to the announcement was passionately split, for and against.
"I'm allergic to a lot of deodorants, so I've used Secret for years. My wife uses it too," a tweet read. "We will no longer purchase your deodorant. I'd rather have a rash or smell like your politics."
Said another, " I've never been loyal to any one deodorant brand. That changed today. Thank you @SecretDeodorant [for] supporting women and equal pay."
P&G brands must
be getting used to that strong reaction. The company's Gillette subsidiary set off a brief, passionate flurry of opinions for and against in January after it introduced an ad titled "We Believe," emphasizing that modern men shouldn't
be all about fighting and ogling women.
In May, Gillette debuted an ad showing a transgender man experiencing his first time shaving.
Secret is not all alone in its crusade for gender equity in sports. In May, Luna Bars offered each player on the U.S. Women's National Soccer team $31,250 to help erase the pay
On Sunday's "Meet the Press," Megan Rapinoe, now probably the women's team's most recognizable star, urged more companies to help narrow
the gap.
"These are some of the most powerful corporations, not just in sports but in the world and have so much weight that they can throw around," she said. "And I think that they just need to get comfortable throwing it around."
Secret says it has consistently "proudly supported women's advancement
by portraying confident, modern women in its campaigns and communications." But critics of cause marketing say that if a brand isn't careful, it can be seen as simply exploiting a subject
to gain customers.
Secret began its association with the women's team a year ago, and in March announced a partnership that was "an extension of Secret's new 'All Strength, No Sweat' campaign."
Part of that marketing effort included a new video, "Cheer for Each Other," that began with U.S Women's Team forward Alex Morgan saying, "When you cheer for me. . . " followed by a young female player finishing the sentence by saying, "you cheer for me." Then, more girls and young women follow, adding, "And me."
Secret also introduced four limited-edition Secret products to its Active collection featuring Morgan and three other USWNT players, Mallory Pugh, Crystal Dunn or Julie Ertz on the] package.
The brand also created a YouTube video with CNN highlighting the issues that caused women's U.S. soccer players to sue the team for gender inequality in March.

"...And Jeff is still at large" Report 1 Said
"Thanks Mary. Now in related news of killing police found the bodies of Logan and Mathew were found in the old clocktower so we can assume that the Myth of the man in the Clock Tower is true but the police searched everywere in the Clock Tower but no man is sight meaning that the Man has relocated. This has been Gum Grape News saying Stay Juicy" Said Reported 2. "Oh no" Carol Said.
To this day a ticking sound can be heard from the old abandoned Clock Tower. And the real clock never ticks anymore but it can still be heard

Hello Friend's. Today's nail art is inspired by my summer chevron coral and black maxi (scroll below to see it) which I bought two months ago. Now you must all know by now, how much I love chevron print and hence decided to match my nails with this dress by doing a chevron pattern on my nails. Usually in my previous posts you would have seen that my chevron pattern never comes right (at least that's what I think) but this time I think I have learned how to get perfect chevron pattern. I love how this pattern turned out on my nails. It is one of my favorite nail designs and would love to repeat it (Yeah I like it that much). So don't be surprised to see it again on my nails :) and in this space.
The polishes that I used are – Butter London's Cotton Buds, Union Black Jack and Charlotte Russe's Coral polish.
Here is a picture of my nails in the background of my pretty chevron maxi. I love it so much that I have worn it 3 times already.
Here is another picture of my nails with a matching midi ring. Another of my latest purchase.
Here is my beautiful Maxi that inspired this nail art.
Hope you all love my this nail art as much as I do.

Had a week-long vacation in Sweden. That's right, it wasn't a trip, it was a bloody vacation (stay tuned for more on that – I've already written it, just need to type it out). It was glorious to be back. And I'm really tanned now.
Started working full-time now. There's less pressure in terms of deadlines (quantity) but more pressure due to higher expectations for creativity and impact (quality). Translating a press release is child's play compared to developing social media strategies for the organisation. I'm also having mad issues with socialising at work… def more on that in the next days and weeks.
The Daily Show: can't stand Jon Stewart's 'support the troops' fanaticism. The entire notion of 'brave men and women' who 'risk their lives' and 'sacrifice' to 'protect freedom/their country' – all those overused phrases fabricate the elaborate and very solid lie that you can resent war but support soldiers. Love the sinner, hate the sin? As some astute viewers on TDS's comments section said, these soldiers voluntarily enlist to kill people they don't know. I used to cut soldiers some slack for financial reasons (the military pays well; poor people are stuck between a rock and a hard place but decide to go for the income) but ethics has broken that argument down. There's nothing noble, brave or laudable in killing other human beings – least of all when it's for reasons you don't know, understand or agree with. Jon Stewart is sometimes the lone voice of sanity but I really can't stand his stance on war.
I cancelled my health insurance with my previous company, but still got charged this month. What gives?! On a similar vein of blasting bureaucracy and customer-unfriendly business, my bank has no branches open past 18.00. How do working people bank?
Uhh.. yeah, this weekend should be pretty busy, hopefully hanging out with friends.

No "Black Lives Matter" Rallies in This Gruesome Death
Have you heard about the tragic, torturous death of Tamika Hurd, a Black woman who was reconnecting with her Christian faith? Probably not. No "Black Lives Matter" rallies for her because of how she died and the identity of who did it.
No Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson media hype over this because Tamika Hurd's Black boyfriend, Charles Campbell Jr., allowed her to freeze to death and did nothing to save her. No viral videos going around showing her freezing to death. Her Black life apparently didn't matter because the guy behind her death is also Black. And Black lives only matter when the people who allegedly take the life are White (or "White Hispanic"), right?
A Benton Township man has admitted to leaving a woman outside his house to freeze to death last year. Charles Campbell Jr., 49, pleaded guilty Monday to involuntary manslaughter in the Feb. 22, 2014, death of Tamika Hurd, 32. Campbell was arrested in September.
He told Berrien County Trial Court Judge Angela Pasula that Hurd was his girlfriend. The two lived together at a home on East Empire Avenue. Campbell's lawyer, James Jesse, said Hurd's brother dropped her off at home the night of Feb. 22, "highly intoxicated." "She went in and out several times. It was cold with a lot of snow. He (Campbell) left her there and went shopping, and when he came back she was dead."
Berrien Assistant Prosecutor Cortney O'Malley said a police investigation revealed that Hurd had taken a shower and was wet when she went outside without a coat, hat, boots or gloves. She said that although Campbell did not lock the woman out of the house, he knew that she was too drunk to get herself back in. O'Malley said it was between 24 and 27 degrees that night. Pasula accepted Campbell's guilty plea, saying he acted in a grossly negligent manner that caused Hurd's death.
I agree that this is not exactly murder, and the woman contributed to her own death by getting so drunk and going outside wet. We all must take personal responsibility for our actions and our lives, and had she done so, she would be alive today. But the boyfriend had to know she wasn't in her right mind (and he could have prevented this tragedy if he gave a damn), and so the plea is probably appropriate. It sounds like this guy knew this woman would die and just didn't care (although the tears in his eyes in the mugshot do look real and remorseful to me). Do you agree?
If a White boyfriend had done this to a Black woman, don't you think there would be media outrage times 1,000, with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jacksons recruiting the ghost of Johnny Cochran to file suit?
From the Family Funeral Home in Benton Harbor, Michigan:
Tamika gave her life to Jehovah and she was working toward baptism at the time of her death. She was a sweet, caring, likable person who loved children and life. Tamika was well known and those who knew her well will truly miss her. She loved her family and loved the times she spent with the ones she loved.
Tamika Hurd, Rest In Peace. Jesse and Al are resting in silence because her boyfriend has the right skin complexion. Ditto for all the BoBo White liberal hipsters who usually join in their riots.

For decades, the Big Darby Creek has been listed as a "scenic" creek, a state designation that gives the waterway, among other safeguards, a local citizens council that advises state regulators about the health of the creek. Statewide, more than 100 people are members of local councils. But the Darby council - and the 13 others across Ohio - could disappear.
For decades, the Big Darby Creek has been listed as a �scenic� creek, a state designation that gives the waterway, among other safeguards, a local citizens council that advises state regulators about the health of the creek. Statewide, more than 100 people are members of local councils.
But the Darby council � and the 13 others across Ohio � could disappear.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has proposed replacing local groups with one advisory council that would include one representative for each waterway.
Matt Eiselstein, an ODNR spokesman, said one council should be sufficient. �We don�t feel like we�re taking an outlet away,� he said. �We�re trying to streamline.�
But river advocates say losing individual councils could mean fewer protections for scenic waterways.
�The scenic river law is not designed to have regulatory teeth, so when a river gets designated � scenic river,� it gives an impression that that river is now protected, but it�s really not,� said John Tetzloff of the Darby Creek Association, a grass-roots group unrelated to the advisory council that advocates for the health of the Darby.
�The real effectiveness of the law ... is being able to mobilize public interest and maybe public action to protect the stream,� he said.
In 1968, Ohio passed the country�s first scenic rivers act to protect high-quality streams, creeks and rivers. The act called for one citizen advisory council for each designated waterway. The councils are made up of local elected officials, landowners and conservation groups.
�Public project review plays a major role in river preservation,� according to the ODNR scenic rivers program website.
But in December, Gary Obermiller, chief of Natural Resources� Division of Parks and Recreation, recommended to a state committee that the citizens councils be disbanded. He said that six of those councils, including the one representing the Big and Little Darby, were inactive because of a lack of membership.
�ODNR values the work of these councils, but rather than continually working to find members to fill as many as 140 membership positions, the Division of Watercraft can use that time to focus on their day-to-day responsibilities and overall mission to protect and manage Ohio�s scenic rivers and work with their stakeholders in doing so,� Obermiller testified.
Some of the councils are vibrant.
The Conneaut Creek State Wild and Scenic River advisory council, for example, meets quarterly. Conneaut Creek is a tributary of Lake Erie in northeastern Ohio.
Longtime member Bob Marcy said eliminating the council would silence any local voice for the creek because it would be a burden for a council member to travel three hours to Columbus for a meeting.
�We promised people that there would be local representation,� Marcy said, �and this shoots it right in the backside. ... None of us think very highly of it.�

Live Roulette Online
The Roulette Wheel
American Roulette
European Roulette
Playing Roulette in Canada
All you need to know about Online Roulette!
Can You Use Betting Systems With Roulette?
Due to the completely random nature of the game of roulette, there is no way to actually beat the game. This means that it is impossible to determine what the next spin will be based simply off the last spin, thus making betting systems pointless with roulette games.
Is it possible to play roulette to clear a deposit bonus?
The restricted games are all pretty similar in that they give the house a very slight edge. This means players can more easily beat the casino and win money from them.
How is it that the zero and double zero spaces give the house the edge?
There are a few reasons for this:
– Since zero and double zero are not black or red, it lowers your chance of winning by simply betting red or black.
– These spaces pay up to 35:1 but there are up to 38 spaces on the table.
What are the benefits to play roulette online?
Playing roulette online has a lot of advantages over traditional methods of play. Below is a list of some of the more popular reasons with other gamers:
– No need to go anywhere if you don't feel like it.
– Play anywhere you want with only an internet connection.
– Smaller stakes compared to actual roulette in a casino.
Is it legal to own a roulette wheel?
This question is hard to answer in this space. This depends greatly on where you live. If you live in the U.S., it can vary from state to state. Check with your country, state, and local laws before purchasing any casino equipment.
Is it possible to play roulette online for free?
The vast majority of online casinos allow you to play games for free. Which games may vary depending on the online casino. Likely, you will have to create an account first, but that doesn't usually cost anything.
In roulette, what are the best bets to make?
You have a few options to have the best odds:
– Bet on red or black
– Bet on an odd or even
– Bet on numbers 1-18 or 19-36
The game of roulette gives the house an edge of 2.7 or 5.26% no matter what you bet on.
In roulette, what are the worst bets to make?
There are a couple bets you can make that will decrease your odds of winning greatly.
– Betting on any single number gives you a 2.63% chance of winning
– To give the house a greater edge, bet on any of the first five numbers
– Double zero gives the house a 7.89% edge
Is it possible to come out ahead when betting on red or black exclusively?
The short answer is no. By betting on red or black exclusively, you will win around 47% of the time. To come out ahead, you need to win at least 50% of the bets you have placed.
What are some of the roulette betting systems people use?
There are various online betting systems that can be used, but they will not net you a lot of winnings. Some of these include Pivot, Six Pence, and Law of the Third.
Are online casino games like roulette fair and trustworthy?
As long as you are playing at a legitimate online casino, the games should be fair to all players. Legitimate online casinos use random number generators that are tested to ensure accuracy and fairness.
Which casinos are the bets to play online roulette?
This is just too personal of a question to answer here. Choosing a casino to play roulette online depends on a number of factors. Things like where you live, banking methods used, and casino promotions can play a lot into what is considered a 'good' online casino for roulette.
What are the highest and lowest table limit casinos online?
This is going to vary from casino to casino. Most online casinos allow a minimum bet of $1. The maximum table limit can go into the hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
Is it possible to make a living from playing roulette?
It is highly unlikely that one could make a living from playing roulette. As the game is random and run by chance, it does not have any way to help shift the odds in your favor. This would be similar to playing the lottery or slots for a living.
How old do you have to be to play roulette online?
At most casinos, the required age limit is 18. Some casinos have an age limit requirement of 21. To know exactly how old you have to be to play at a specific online casino, read through their terms of service or inquire with their customer service and support department.
Are there differences between American, European, and French roulette?
There are differences between these three types of online roulette:
– American roulette features both the zero and double zero spaces. The house has an edge of 5.26%.
– European roulette only features a zero space. The house has an edge of 2.70%.
– French roulette also has a zero space, but they pay back half the bet if a player lands on it. House edge is reduced to 1.35%.
What is the game Russian Roulette and is it possible to play online?
Russian Roulette is not an actual form of roulette and cannot be played in any casino online or in person. One bullet is placed in a gun's cylinder and spun with players firing at their own heads.
Is it illegal to use betting systems such as the Martingale online?
As long as you are not actively cheating, it is not generally illegal to use betting systems, including the Martingale system. Using these systems when playing roulette online will not be helpful, though.
Is it possible to make money as the dealer when hosting your own roulette and blackjack nights?
It is possible, but you can experience swings in favor of you and the players throughout the night. With such a small house edge, it is possible that in the short term, you will need to cover player wins. In the long run, you should be able to come out ahead.
What are the odds of winning when betting on any single number
Depending on the version of roulette you are playing, the odds for any single number are 1/37 or 1/38.
Are there differences between live dealer and non-live dealer roulette?
Both versions are the same with one difference. Live dealer roulette features a video feed of a live player and possibly even other players.
Is there live roulette etiquette?
– Avoid disturbing the other players
– Limit amount of smoking, if allowed
– Always follow dealer's instructions
– Tip your dealer if they did a good job
– Understand the rules and the lingo used to keep the game moving along briskly
