Projektet går ut på att göra en konsert med Whitney Houstons låtar. Konserten görs i samarbete med två andra sångerskor, och ett band på fyra personer. Musiken arrangeras av oss sångerskor, och hela konserten utformas som en helhet, med inslag av a capellasång, medleyn och koreografi. Målet är framförandet, men syftet är även att kunna göra konserten i framtiden. Materialet som kommer att användas i konserten består endast av Whitneys låtar, och låtvalen sträcker sig genom hela hennes karriär. / The project is to do a concert with the music of Whitney Houston. The concert will be done in co-operation with two other singers, and will be performed with a band of four members. I and the other singers will arrange the songs, and the concert will contain a capella singing, medleys, and choreography. The aim of the project is the concert it self, but the purpose is to be able to do it more then one time. The material that is going to be used is only the songs of Whitney Houston, and the songs of choice will be from her entire carrier. / <p>Bilaga: 1 DVD</p>

This thesis seeks to investigate the short- and long-term socio-economic impact of the First Punic War on Carthage and its people. It will do so by exploring three parts of the Carthaginian political and socio-economic system during the fourth through the second centuries BCE. The first is its navy, and specifically the costs – in both material and man – of its use. This will be the subject of the first chapter. The second analyses the additional expenditures which the war extracted from Carthage, such as the outlays to recruit, maintain, and provide for the land army. The final chapter focuses on the long-term ramifications of the war, which will be explored by means of an in-depth analysis of the last few battles of the First Punic War from an economic angle.

Excerpt: The 2016 album On Top of Old Smoky: New Old-Time Smoky Mountain Music paid tribute to the 4,250 people from 700 families who gave—or, depending on one’s perspective, surrendered—their ancestral homes to create Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most ecologically diverse area in the Appalachian region and the most popular national park in the US. Its ecosystems having recovered from extensive early-twentieth-century logging, this park simultaneously possesses a reconstructed wilderness and preserves a compelling cultural heritage story; indeed, Great Smoky Mountains National Park has been declared an International Biosphere Reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Despite such official acknowledgement of the park’s significance, one story has rarely been told: the true story of those who sacrificed the most to make the park possible.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / In the realm of BDSM there are a few different roles. There is a dominant, which is a person who controls a BDSM scene. There is a submissive, which is a person who gives up control to the dominant during a scene. In a BDSM scene, there must always be a person who is playing the role of a dominant and a person who is in the role of the submissive. This study looks at two different identities associated with the dominate role, lifestyle and professional. This study aims to compare and contrast the two identities on their backgrounds, how they identify themselves, and their views on tribute. Tribute is receiving either gifts or money in exchange for BDSM services. Two theories, social constructionism and exchange theory, were used to create the interview questions for this survey. For this study I interviewed four lifestyle dominatrices and three professional dominatrices. Data from six blogs, three lifestyle dominatrices’ blogs and three professional dominatrices’ blogs, were used as well. My findings suggest that in discovery of, and in BDSM play, the dominatrices are similar and that the defining difference between lifestyles and professionals is the acceptance of money. My findings also conflict a little with Viviana Zelizer’s theory that the receiver of a gift is necessarily submissive to the giver.

Este trabalho visa analisar sob o ponto de vista histórico e pianístico-musical a suíte Le Tombeau de Couperin escrita para piano solo pelo compositor francês Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) durante os anos da Primeira Guerra Mundial. Além de ser um adeus aos amigos desaparecidos durante a guerra, Ravel assina nesta obra uma homenagem dos modernos ao ancestral, também compositor, François Couperin (1668-1733) esquecido durante o século XIX. / This research aims at examining from a historical and musical point of view the Suite Le Tombeau de Couperin, written for piano solo by the French composer Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) during the years of the First World War. In this work, a farewell to friends, who disappeared during the war, Ravel also signs an homage from the modern to the ancestor, François Couperin (1668-1733), also a composer, who was forgotten during the nineteenth century.

Thus, in order for the state to acquire a positive image and be seen as a source of contemporary administration, it must employ techniques that are diverse from the majority until then used. In this way, the sanctioning system of conducts as the only form of social adjustment is no longer a safe haven, since it has become an inappropriate tool and of uncertain legal efficiency. Along these lines, a critical analysis regarding the breakdown of this model and a discussion about the use of alternative methods of raising awareness. Thus, the use of coercion, whether in the political question, in its transverse forms of collection, or in the tax question, with the erosion in the lack of legal certainty with the variation of the values of its fines and by term, in the criminal court, imposed on cases of unlawful taxation, where, as is inferred from the study of some of its principles, its use for this type of purpose goes beyond its basic dictates, since there is a deviation from its purpose, since it would be exercising a function of tax collector, which completely distances him from his primary function. Such tools only ratify the need for model breaking. With this thought of fusion, the opportunity of employment of the incentive institute arises, since it is a stimulating technique for the practice of good conduct. Consequently, reducing the state's wear and tear on measures that involve unpopular themes and sometimes difficult to accept. It is important to mention the use of this tool, considering the possibility of reverse effects. Finally education, sine qua non condition for a change of attitude in any area. Source of best alternative to developing a fiscal conscience. Federated entities have a number of programs in this respect, which, well employed, have the potential to break standards. In this way, it is concluded that the State, even with an apparent paradoxical bias, finds support in the normative text that forms the legal framework of the society of law to make use of the most diverse tools of persuasion direct and indirect, aiming at promoting the citizen's awareness that his tax responsibility should be treated as a burden to live in a democratic society under the pallium of the rule of law. / A dinâmica sociedade democrática que vivemos nos leva a ponderar acerca de caminhos que busquem modelos jurídicos que apontem para uma nova forma de utilização do Direito, não somente sua moldura pragmática, isto é, a coerção. Assim, para que o Estado adquira uma imagem positiva e seja visto como uma fonte de administração contemporânea deve empregar técnicas diversas da maioria até então utilizadas. Dessa forma, o sistema sancionatório de condutas como única forma de adequação social não merece mais guarida, visto ter se tornado ferramenta inapropriada e de incerta eficiência jurídica. Nessa linha, torna-se forçoso uma análise crítica a respeito da quebra desse modelo e passarmos a discutir a respeito do emprego de métodos alternativos de conscientização. Assim, o emprego da coerção, seja na questão política, em suas formas transversas de recolhimento, seja na questão tributária, com o desgaste na falta de segurança jurídica com a variação dos valores de suas multas e por termo, na seara penal, imposta aos casos de ilícitos tributários, onde, segundo se infere do estudo de alguns de seus princípios, o seu emprego para esse tipo de finalidade foge aos seus ditames básicos, visto existir um desvio de sua finalidade, uma vez que estaria exercendo uma função de cobrador de tributos, o que o afasta completamente da sua função precípua. Tais ferramentas somente ratifica a necessidade da quebra de modelo. Com esse pensamento de fusão surge à oportunidade do emprego do instituto incentivo, visto se tratar de uma técnica estimuladora de prática de boas condutas. Possibilitando, consequentemente, a redução do desgaste do Estado frente a medidas que envolvam temas impopulares e que, por vezes, de difícil aceitação. Importante mencionar a ponderação na utilização desta ferramenta, frente à possibilidade de efeitos reversos. Por fim a educação, condição sine qua non para uma mudança de atitude em qualquer área. Fonte de melhor alternativa para se desenvolver uma consciência fiscal. Os entes federados possuem uma série de programas a esse respeito, os quais, bem empregados, têm potencial para quebra de padrões. Dessa feita, conclui-se que o Estado, mesmo com um aparente viés paradoxal, encontra respaldo no próprio texto normativo que forma o arcabouço jurídico da sociedade de direito para fazer uso das mais diversas ferramentas de persuasão direta e indireta objetivando promover a conscientização do cidadão de que sua responsabilidade tributária deve ser tratada como um ônus de se viver em uma sociedade democrática sob o pálio do estado de direito.
