The 25-year-old San Francisco native, whose real name is Ari Leff, first found fame in 2015, but he’s been writing music for years. Lauv was interested in music from a young age and started learning the guitar at 11. Shortly after, he decided to try his hand at composing his own music. He wrote constantly about relationships and breakups, baring his soul in deeply personal songs. The irony, of course, is that up till then he himself had never been in a relationship! The young American went on to study music technology at NYU, figuring he’d do his best work behind the scenes. While writing and producing songs for other artists, he came across an interview with the musician Paul Simon. In it, Simon said that his approach to writing songs was a process of uncovering his deepest feelings. From then on, Lauv decided he would use music to explore his personal identity. He adopted the name Lauv, from the Latvian word for “lion,” as a nod to both his mother’s background and his zodiac sign, Leo. 如果歌曲融合電子舞曲節拍、令人難忘的流行樂副歌和充滿感情的歌詞聽起來像是你喜歡的東西，你就會喜歡Lauv的歌。這名二十五歲的舊金山人本名是Ari Leff，他在二○一五年開始成名，但他已經創作音樂好多年了。 Lauv從小就對音樂感興趣，並於十一歲開始學吉他。不久之後，他決定嘗試創作自己的音樂。他經常寫關於感情和分手的歌曲，透過個人歌曲傾訴衷腸。當然，諷刺的是直到那時，他自己從來沒有談過戀愛！ 這名美國年輕人接著到紐約大學學習音樂科技，認為從事幕後工作會表現得最好。在替其他藝人作詞作曲時，他無意間看到音樂人保羅．賽門的訪談。在訪談中，賽門表示他寫歌的方法就是揭露他最深刻感受的過程。從那之後，Lauv決定用音樂來探索個人認同。他取了Lauv這個名字（源自拉托維亞語的「獅子」）來向母親的出身背景和他的星座獅子座致敬。 In 2015, Lauv released his first song “The Other” online. To his surprise, it went viral. Since then, he has signed a record deal, released his debut album, How I’m Feeling, had success on the Billboard charts, and gone on a world tour. It has been a wild ride, but Lauv isn’t stopping yet. He has teamed up with both Troye Sivan on “i’m so tired” and K-pop sensation BTS on “Who.” Lauv is committed to staying true to himself, which means being honest about his struggles with depression and anxiety. He often writes about his emotional state in his songs, but it has also prevented him from writing music at times. That’s why it was important to Lauv to open up about it both in his music and by working with charities to remove the stigma about mental health issues. He hopes that by telling the truth, people will see that this condition isn’t unusual, and other sufferers will feel less alone. With catchy songs that you can identify with, it’s easy to see why Lauv has become such a star. Indeed, there’s a lot to love about Lauv. 二○一五年Lauv在網路上發表他的首支單曲〈The Other〉。令他意外的是，這首歌爆紅了。在那之後，他和一間唱片公司簽約、發行首張大碟《How I’m Feeling》、在美國《告示牌》排行榜取得成功，並進行了世界巡演。這是一趟刺激的旅程，但Lauv還沒有要停下腳步。他和特洛伊．希文合作單曲〈i’m so tired〉，也和名聲大噪的韓國流行音樂天團防彈少年團合作歌曲〈Who〉。 Lauv承諾要真實的做自己，這表示對自己與憂鬱症和焦慮症的奮鬥過程要誠實以對。他經常在歌曲中書寫他的情緒狀態，但有時這也會阻礙他寫歌。那就是為什麼對Lauv來說，要消除這個心理健康問題的汙名，在音樂中以及與慈善機構的合作中能暢所欲言很重要。他希望透過說實話，人們會知道這個健康問題並不罕見，而其他受苦的人也不會感到那麼孤單。 有了讓你產生共鳴的琅琅上口的歌曲，你很容易就能明白為什麼Lauv會成為這樣的一位明星。的確，Lauv有很多值得喜愛的地方。 Live Interactive English Live互動英語 NO. 230 June 2020年6月號 4 Live關鍵時事新聞 9 焦點話題 10 大師名作選 Hearts and Hands 〈心與手〉 〈心與手〉為美國短篇小說大師歐．亨利（O.

One of their most adoring fans [is] North Korea’s usually stoic supreme leader, who was caught on camera leading the applause, even though he’s banned his own people from listening to the same songs. Kim Jong Un and his wife, Ri Sol Ju, once a singer herself, greeted the band offstage. But now, there’s growing evidence this kind of music, called K-pop, is becoming a threat to the dictator’s regime. A recent survey by South Korea’s Unification Media Group says more and more defectors now cite music as a key factor in how they became disenchanted with their government. KIM SUK-YOUNG, AUTHOR, “ILLUSIVE UTOPIA: THEATER, FILM AND EVERYDAY PERFORMANCE IN NORTH KOREA” [The] North Korean young generation find many creative ways to access foreign media. Especially South Korean pop culture has been phenomenally popular in North Korea for the past 20 years, and it’s really starting to impact the way they conceive the world as well as to reflect upon their own lives in North Korea. BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT North Korea’s first couple are such fans of that style of music themselves that they have their own girl band: Moranbong—Kim Jong Un’s handpicked troupe of young women in tight dresses—who sing Korean pop songs and tributes to their boss. But one defector says that’s about the extent to which young North Koreans are allowed to consume pop music. KANG NA RA, NORTH KOREAN DEFECTOR (VIA INTERPRETER) North Korea is such a tightly-controlled society, and the style you can follow is very limited. Ri Sol Ju or Moranbong band members are our only permitted role models. BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT Kim’s regime forbids the influx of any foreign media content unless it’s heavily censored, but still, it gets in. Hyun Lee defected from North Korea five years ago. The son of a top financial official for Kim’s regime, Lee had access to South Korean K-pop, which was smuggled in by friends, while he lived in North Korea. He says any young North Korean hearing South Korean K-pop for the first time is struck by the difference. What does that music have that their music does not have? HYUN LEE, NORTH KOREAN DEFECTOR So, North Korean music doesn’t have any emotion and [or] feeling[s] of love and then, their freedom of society, but South Korean music emphasizes emotion [and] love. BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT Hyun Lee says the tide of K-pop is so enormous and the black market for the music and videos is so strong, even young people still inside North Korea know about “Gangnam Style,” the song by the artist PSY that was the first YouTube video ever to reach a billion views. But it’s a tide Kim Jong Un is trying to hold back. Analysts say North Korea’s crackdown on the consumption of K-pop by its citizens has intensified under Kim. Defectors say there’s a feared unit of Kim’s security services called Group 109—a roving group of operatives searching for banned CDs and USB drives. HYUN LEE, NORTH KOREAN DEFECTOR They basically do search your body and search your home at any time, at everywhere. Once [a] North Korean’s caught by 109, so the seria [serious] punishment was [is] execution. BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT It’s not just listening to K-pop that can get the average young North Korean in trouble. One young defector told the Washington Post that after seeing some K-pop videos, she wanted to emulate their clothing style. She put on a pair of jeans, she said, and went to a local market. She said authorities there made her take the jeans off right there, and they burned them right in front of her. CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 這是個出人意料，且對許多北韓人來說很刺眼的景象：一支在南韓和全球各地都大受歡迎，名為Red Velvet的樂團，受邀於二○一八年春天在平壤的一群菁英觀眾面前表演。其中一個對他們最為傾心的粉絲就是通常不苟言笑的北韓最高領導人，鏡頭捕捉到他帶領大家鼓掌，不過他卻禁止自己的人民聽相同的歌曲。 金正恩和他的妻子李雪主在表演結束後接見了該樂團，李雪主本人曾是名歌手。但是現在有愈來愈多證據顯示，這一類稱作韓國流行音樂的音樂，對這位獨裁者的政權而言漸漸成為一項威脅。 日前一項由南韓的統一媒體集團所進行的調查指出，現在有愈來愈多的脫北者說音樂是他們對政府感到幻滅的一個關鍵因素。 《飄渺的烏托邦：北韓的戲劇、電影和日常表演》作者 金淑雲（音譯） 北韓的年輕一代找到很多有創意的方法接觸外國媒體。過去二十年來，南韓流行文化在北韓受歡迎得不得了，而這確實已經開始影響北韓人對這個世界的認知，以及反思他們自己在北韓的生活。 CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 北韓的第一夫妻本身是那類音樂的熱衷粉絲，因此他們組了自有的女子樂團：牡丹峰，也就是金正恩精挑細選、穿著緊身洋裝的少女團體，唱著韓國流行歌曲和對他們老闆的頌歌。但是有位脫北者說，那差不多就是北韓年輕人被允許消費流行音樂的限度了。 脫北者 姜娜拉（音譯）（經由口譯） 北韓是個受到如此嚴格控制的社會，你能夠追隨的風潮非常有限。李雪主或牡丹峰樂團的成員是我們唯一被允許追隨的模範。 CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 金正恩政權禁止任何外國媒體內容流入，除非經過嚴格審查，但還是滲透進去了。李賢（音譯）在五年前脫北。李賢是金正恩政權下的財政高官之子，他住在北韓時，經由朋友偷偷帶入而得以接觸南韓流行音樂。他說任何第一次聽到南韓流行音樂的北韓年輕人，都會因當中的差異而感到震驚。 那種音樂中有什麼是他們的音樂所沒有的呢？ 脫北者 李賢（音譯） 北韓的音樂不帶任何情感或愛的感覺，再來，也沒有社會的自由，反觀南韓的音樂重視情感和愛。 CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 李賢說韓國流行音樂的浪潮是如此巨大，加上這種音樂和影片的黑市需求是如此強勁，就連仍在北韓境內的年輕人都知道〈江南風格〉，那首由藝人PSY演唱的歌曲是史上首支達十億次點閱的YouTube影片。但這是股金正恩正設法壓制的浪潮。 分析師指出，在金正恩政權下，北韓對其人民消費韓國流行音樂的取締增強了。脫北者說，金正恩有個令人喪膽、叫作一○九小隊的安全勤務單位，那是一個機動式的行動小組，專門搜尋遭禁的CD和隨身碟。 脫北者 李賢（音譯） 基本上他們會隨時隨地搜你身和到你家翻箱倒櫃。一旦有北韓人被一○九小隊抓到，嚴重的懲罰是處決。 CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 會讓北韓一般年輕人惹禍上身的不是只有聽南韓流行音樂而已。一名年輕的脫北者告訴《華盛頓郵報》，她在看過一些韓國流行音樂的影片之後，想要仿效他們的穿著風格。她說她穿上一條牛仔褲去到當地的一個市場。她說地方當局逼她當場脫掉牛仔褲，然後當她的面把褲子給燒了。

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legal and Ethical Issues of Live Streaming explores the potential legal and ethical issues of using live streaming technology, citing that although live streaming has a broadcasting capability, it is not regulated by the Federal Communications Commission, unlike other broadcasting media such as radio or television. Without this regulation, live streaming is opened up for broad use and misuse, including broadcasts of horrifying incidents such as the mass shootings at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2019, sparking outrage and fear about the technology. Contributors provide a pathway to move forward with ethical and legal use of live streaming by analyzing the wide spectrum of critical issues through the lens of communication, ethics, and law. Scholars of legal studies, ethics, communication, and media studies will find this book particularly useful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[I]deal for readers seeking a more comprehensive look at information dissemination technology, its context, and its impact on the way in which we now live." Library Journal, Starred Review Many of what we think of as Information Age tools and media — computers, cell phones, the internet, encryption, and more — evolved directly out of modern warfare. These tools started with World War I (which began not with arms, but with England cutting off underwater cables to Germany and isolating it), accelerated through World War II and the Cold War, and now play a center role in both declared and non-declared conflicts like election interference and cyberbattles. We buy phones and smart speakers because they are new and unlock great potential. Voice assistants like Siri and Alexa help us do our work and answer that one piece of trivia that bugs us. Yet these devices are data gatherers. They collect, repackage, and monetize our questions, purchases, photographs, web surfing to form a data industry now larger than the oil industry. Well over 100 years ago the data industry put in place a business model that trades our attention for news and entertainment. That model has evolved into a complex art and science of message targeting and content ownership that has splintered communities while simultaneously concentrating media ownership to a few massive corporations. Forged in War takes a critical look at the systems we use and how we ended up in a society that values data over personal liberty and commerce over the public good. It tells a compelling and previously story of how our ideas of information and knowledge reflect the century of war that has militarized our worldview. Author David Lankes’s work has been funded by organizations such as The MacArthur Foundation, The Institute for Library and Museum Services, NASA, The U.S. Department of Education, The U.S. Department of Defense, The National Science Foundation, and The U.S. State Department. This, his latest book will help all of us learn how war has shaped our world and how to begin to create an agenda to stand down weaponized data and a media that seeks to own our personal, even intimate data like one owns a gold mine.

Download or read book Foreign Policy in the Age of Globalization Populism and Nationalism written by Fred Aja Agwu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-25 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book propounds the thesis that it was the dysfunction of globalization and liberalism that prompted the rise of nationalism and populism. Recent developments in global affairs are challenging assumptions and the basis upon which international relations, as a broad field of specialization, and foreign policy analysis, as a sub-field, rests. In a world that is changing in fundamental and irreversible ways, this book intervenes to enable an improved sense of understanding of these developments and what they mean for people-people, state-state, continent-continent, and global relations, moving forward. The author shows anti-globalization and the growth of nationalism and populism have been particularly necessitated by the failures of liberalism and America’s abdication from the world. With reference to Brexit, the pandemic, the US 2020 elections and consequent shifts in power, with a focus on their respective impacts on Africa, and Africa-Sino relations particularly, and developing countries, more broadly, this book situates these discussions within a global context. It effectively illustrates the insufficiency of the West’s soft power, especially as it is foisted or supposedly imposed on the rest of the world without regard to the demands of cultural relativity. Relevant to postgraduate students, researchers, and policymakers, this is must-read within the fields of international relations and political economy.

Download or read book Free Speech written by Jacob Mchangama and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The best history of free speech ever written and the best defense of free speech ever made.” —P.J. O’Rourke Hailed as the “first freedom,” free speech is the bedrock of democracy. But it is a challenging principle, subject to erosion in times of upheaval. Today, in democracies and authoritarian states around the world, it is on the retreat. In Free Speech, Jacob Mchangama traces the riveting legal, political, and cultural history of this idea. Through captivating stories of free speech’s many defenders—from the ancient Athenian orator Demosthenes and the ninth-century freethinker al-Rāzī, to the anti-lynching crusader Ida B. Wells and modern-day digital activists—Mchangama reveals how the free exchange of ideas underlies all intellectual achievement and has enabled the advancement of both freedom and equality worldwide. Yet the desire to restrict speech, too, is a constant, and he explores how even its champions can be led down this path when the rise of new and contrarian voices challenge power and privilege of all stripes. Meticulously researched and deeply humane, Free Speech demonstrates how much we have gained from this principle—and how much we stand to lose without it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AS SEEN ON CBS MORNINGS, THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE CUT, AND MORE SELF MAGAZINE’S #1 WELLNESS BOOK OF 2023 A NEXT BIG IDEA CLUB MUST-READ BOOK FOR APRIL 2023 A searing critique of modern wellness culture and how it stands in the way of true well-being that "will change the way you think about your health—in all the best ways.” (Casey Gueren) “It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle.” You've probably heard this phrase from any number of people in the wellness space. But as Christy Harrison reveals in her latest book, wellness culture promotes a standard of health that is often both unattainable and deeply harmful. Many people with chronic illness understandably feel dismissed or abandoned by the healthcare system and find solace in alternative medicine, as Harrison once did. Yet the wellness industry promotes practices that often cause even more damage than the conventional approaches they’re meant to replace. From the lack of pre-market safety testing on herbal and dietary supplements, to the unfounded claims made by many wellness influencers and functional-medicine providers, to the social-media algorithms driving users down rabbit holes of wellness mis- and disinformation, it can often feel like no one is looking out for us in the face of the $4.4 trillion global wellness industry. The Wellness Trap delves into the persistent, systemic problems with that industry, offering insight into its troubling pattern of cultural appropriation and its destructive views on mental health, and shedding light on how a growing distrust of conventional medicine has led ordinary people to turn their backs on science. Weaving together history, memoir, reporting, and practical advice, Harrison illuminates the harms of wellness culture while re-imagining our society’s relationship with well-being.
