  • Ne-Yo Au Festival Mawazine
    Communiqué de presse Rabat, 23 avril 2014 La dernière découverte du rap US à Mawazine Ne-Yo se produira en concert à Rabat le 04 juin 2014 L’Association Maroc Cultures a le plaisir de vous annoncer la venue du chanteur américain Ne-Yo à l’occasion de la 13ème édition du Festival - Mawazine Rythmes du Monde. Ne-Yo se produira mercredi 04 juin 2014 sur la scène de l’OLM-Souissi à Rabat. Dernière découverte du prestigieux label Def Jam, dont l’histoire se confond en grande partie avec celle du rap américain, Ne-Yo (né Shaffer Smith) a hérité d’une voix unique en son genre, inspirée de Stevie Wonder et des plus grands noms de la soul. L’artiste a obtenu en 2008 le Grammy Award du meilleur album contemporain R&B et composé des tubes pour Beyoncé, Rihanna et Britney Spears. Né en 1979 à Los Angeles, Ne-Yo est élevé par une famille de musiciens et se passionne très tôt pour la musique. Ses idoles de l'époque s’appellent Whitney Houston et Michael Jackson. Au cours de cette période, le garçon développe une culture musicale importante, s’essaie au chant, à la composition et à l'écriture. Après plusieurs prestations réussies, Ne-Yo retient l'attention de Def Jam, le label le plus actif de la scène R&B. Avec lui, le chanteur enregistre les singles So Sick , Sexy Love et When You're Mad , qui reçoivent un accueil très favorable dans les clubs de la côte ouest. Ne-Yo sort en 2006 son premier album, In My Own Words , qui se vend à 1 million d’exemplaires.

  • Architect of the Capitol: Evolution and Implementation of the Appointment Procedure
    Architect of the Capitol: Evolution and Implementation of the Appointment Procedure Updated September 1, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R41074 SUMMARY R41074 Architect of the Capitol: Evolution and September 1, 2021 Implementation of the Appointment Ida A. Brudnick Specialist on the Congress Procedure According to its website, the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) is responsible “for the operations and care of more than 18.4 million square feet of facilities, 570 acres of grounds and thousands of works of art.” Pursuant to the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 1990, the Architect is appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. Prior to the enactment of this law, the President appointed the Architect for an unlimited term with no formal role for Congress. The act also established a 10-year term for the Architect as well as a bicameral, bipartisan congressional commission to recommend candidates to the President. As subsequently amended in 1995, this law provides for a commission consisting of 14 Members of Congress, including the Speaker of the House, the President pro tempore of the Senate, the House and Senate majority and minority leaders, and the chair and ranking minority members of the Committee on House Administration, the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, and the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. An Architect may be reappointed. Alan M. Hantman was the first Architect appointed under the revised appointment procedure. He declined to seek reappointment and served from January 30, 1997, to February 4, 2007. Stephen T. Ayers, who served as Acting Architect of the Capitol following Mr.

Amer, Government and Finance Division October 16, 2008 Abstract. This report examines the current duties and statutory evolution of the Architect of the Capitol, the current appointment process, and significant current issues. Order Code RL32820 Architect of the Capitol: Appointment, Duties, and Current Issues Updated October 16, 2008 Mildred Amer http://wikileaks.org/wiki/CRS-RL32820 Specialist on the Congress Government and Finance Division Architect of the Capitol: Appointment, Duties, and Current Issues Summary The office of Architect of the Capitol (AOC) dates from 1793, when construction of the Capitol building began. The responsibilities of the office have grown substantially over time. In recent years, changes have also taken place in management and staffing policies. The AOC is appointed by the President and subject to Senate confirmation. Alan M. Hantman, FAIA, the most recent Architect, served from January 30, 1997, to February 4, 2007. Pursuant to law, he was confirmed for a 10- year term. He declined to seek reappointment. Stephen T. Ayers, AIA, currently serves as Acting Architect of the Capitol until a permanent successor is installed. A bicameral congressional advisory commission is required to recommend to the President at least three candidates to fill the vacant AOC post. By law, the Architect, supported by such staff as may be authorized by Congress, operates and maintains the buildings and grounds of the Capitol complex. The AOC is a member of the Capitol Police Board, participates in reviews of Capitol Hill security, and his staff implements the various security enhancements in the Capitol complex.
