The resurgence and continued growth and popularity of the shag and beach music are due in a large way to Harold's enthusiastic, energetic, and consistent support.” —Charlie Womble and Jackie McGee, professional shag dancers “Fat Harold’s Beach Club and Harold himself have kept a place to dance for years now, for those young and old alike. There has never been someone that has loved the dance and the people it brings into his life more than Fat Harold. Every beach band wants to say that they have played at Fat Harold’s Beach Club and HOTO’s! That must surely say something about Harold Bessent as a man!” —Jeff Hargett, 2005 National Shag Dance champion “I have known Harold Bessent since I was eleven years old, and for all that time and still today, he has provided a place for the people to dance and listen to this music called beach music.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conditions of alienation and exclusion are inextricably linked to the experience of the migrant. This ground-breaking volume explores both the increasing emergence of the theme of migration as a dominant subject matter in art as well as the ways in which the varied mobilities of a globalized world have radically reshaped art's conditions of production, reception, and display. In a wide-ranging selection of essays, fourteen distinguished scholars in the fields of visual studies, art history, literary studies, global studies, and art criticism explore the universality of conditions of global migration and interdependence, inviting a rethinking of existing perspectives in postcolonial, transnational, and diaspora studies, and laying the foundation for empirical and theoretical directions beyond the terms of these traditional frameworks.

Download or read book Encounters with HCI Pioneers written by Ben Shneiderman and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The huge success of personal computing technologies has brought astonishing benefits to individuals, families, communities, businesses, and government, transforming human life, largely for the better. These democratizing transformations happened because a small group of researchers saw the opportunities to convert sophisticated computational tools into appealing personal devices offering valued services by way of easy-to-use interfaces. Along the way, there were challenges to their agenda of human-centered design by: (1) traditional computer scientists who were focused on computation rather than people-oriented services and (2) those who sought to build anthropomorphic agents or robots based on excessively autonomous scenarios. The easy-to-learn and easy-to-use interfaces based on direct manipulation became the dominant form of interaction for more than six billion people. This book gives my personal history of the intellectual arguments and the key personalities I encountered. I believe that the lessons of how the discipline of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and the profession of User Experience Design (UXD) were launched can guide others in forming new disciplines and professions. The stories and photos of the 60 HCI pioneers, engaged in discussions and presentations, capture the human drama of collaboration and competition that invigorated the encounters among these bold, creative, generous, and impassioned individuals.
