Dutch Afro Latin Dance Championship 2021 VIRTUAL DUTCH AFRO LATIN DANCE CHAMPIONSHIP 2021 DALDC REALITY DANCE COMPETITION RULES & REGULATIONS SALSA Welcome Champions... Welcome to the Virtual DUTCH AFRO LATIN DANCE COMPETITION 2021 (DALDC). A new online Reality Dance Competition, brought to you by the NK Bachata & NK Salsa organization. Our primary goal is to redefine the way we do competitions in the future. Our second objective is to facilitate a digital platform where all talents can present themselves to join this great competition. During this COVID-19 Pandemic we made use of our time and created a new Platform to revolutionize the way we compete. A new era that opens up a world of possibilities but most of all: KEEPS US DANCING, CONNECTING AND DOING WHAT WE LOVE. The DALDC is a Reality dance competition where competitors can join from anywhere in the country. Competitors will need to submit their choreography video, and videos that give us some insight into the competitor’s life and passion for dance. These videos will be used to create web episodes that will be broadcasted on our Video on Demand platform for the world to see. THE VISION OF THE All competitors will receive their scores virtually COMPETITION In the rules for the SALSA CHAMPIONSHIP we repre- sent the most danced styles in the Netherlands and the fundamentals of the Salsa dance. We believe a competitor should be able to represent the funda- mentals but still have the freedom to explore different styles. We have decided that each competitor is allowed to choose any style he or she wants to dance but the choreography has to have enough emphasis on the fundamentals of Salsa. With fundamentals, we mean being able to incorpo- rate enough basics, leading & following and authentic Kizomba movement & techniques. This decision has been made in order to give every competitor the freedom and opportunity to share their interpretation and passion for Kizomba. We believe that this will stimulate growth of the dancers and the scene. We just want you to do what you love!

Participation is possible for Couples, Solo, ProAm, on Wheels, and, if the restrictions permit, Teams. All dancers, except Teams, are free to dance an Improvisation or a Choreography. The jury will not make any difference between the two in judging. If the subscriptions allow it, the organization can decide to subdivide the participants in (a number of these) classes: 1. Newcomer: amateur dancers, with little experience. Subclass: Junior: joint age maximum 32 years. The dancers can choose either "freestyle" (= improvise to the music) or dance choreography. 2. Prechamp: for amateur dance competitors, who have never been paid for their dances, except for a possible cash prize at the OSBC or by another contest judged exempt by this organization.. For (semi) professionals from outside the Salsa discipline: You can (it’s not necessary) participate in the Prechamp class, i f you indicated beforhand that you are (semi) professional in another dance, the jury will then decide in the preliminary round what is the right category for you.

April 2010 Tag des Rigorosums: 26. April 2010 1. Berichterstatter: Prof. Dr. Heinz-Gerd Hegering, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat¨ Munchen¨ 2. Berichterstatter: Prof. Dr. Bernhard Neumair, Georg-August-Universitat¨ Gottingen¨ Abstract This thesis deals with the problem, that IT management automation projects are all tackled in a different manner with a different general approach and different resulting system architecture. It is a relevant problem for at least two reasons: 1) more and more IT resources with built-in or asso- ciated IT management automation systems are built today. It is inefficient to try to solve each on their own. And 2) doing so, reuse of knowledge between IT management automation systems, as well as reuse of knowledge from other domains is severely limited. While this worked with simple stand-alone remote monitoring and remote control facilities, automation of cognitive tasks will more and more profit from existing knowledge in domains such as artificial intelligence, statistics, control theory, and automated planning. A common structure also would ease integration and coupling of such systems, delegating cognitive partial tasks, and switching between commonly defined levels of automation. So far, this problem is only partly solved.

  • An Intergenerational Narrative Analysis of Black Mothers and Daughters
    Still Waiting to Exhale: An Intergenerational Narrative Analysis of Black Mothers and Daughters DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jamila D. Smith, B.A., MFA College of Education and Human Ecology The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Professor Elaine Richardson, Advisor Professor Adrienne D. Dixson Professor Carmen Kynard Professor Wendy Smooth Professor Cynthia Tyson Copyright by Jamila D. Smith 2012 Abstract This dissertation consists of a nine month, three-state ethnographic study on the intersectional effects of race, age, gender, and place in the lives of fourteen Black mothers and daughters, ages 15-65, who attempt to analyze and critique the multiple and competing notions of Black womanhood as “at risk” and “in crisis.” Epistemologically, the research is grounded in Black women’s narrative and literacy practices, and fills a gap in the existing literature on Black girlhood and Black women’s lived experiences through attention to the development of mother/daughter relationships, generational narratives, societal discourse, and othermothering. I argue that an in-depth analysis and critique of the dominant “at risk” and “in crisis” discourse is necessary to understand the conversations that are and are not taking place between Black mothers and daughters about race, gender, age, and place; that it is important to understand the ways in which Black girls respond to media portrayals and stereotypes; and that it is imperative that we closely examine the existing narratives at play in the everyday lives of intergenerational Black girls and women in Black communities.

DESCRIPTORS Adults; *Agency Role; Arbitration; Children; *Civil Rights Legislation; *Compliance (Legal); Court Litigation; *Disabilities; *Disability Discrimination; Federal Regulation; *Law Enforcement; Program Effectiveness IDENTIFIERS Americans with Disabilities Act 1990; Commission on Civil Rights; Department of Justice ABSTRACT This report from the United States Commission on Civil Rights focuses specifically on the efforts of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to enforce Title II, Subtitle A of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination based on disability by public entities such as state and local governments. The report evaluates DOJ's regulations and policies clarifying the language of the statute; processing of complaints of discrimination based on disability; litigation; and outreach, education, and technical assistance efforts related to the Act. The Commission finds that DOJ's implementation and enforcement program for the Americans with Disabilities Act is generally adequate, given its limited resources and extensive responsibilities. It finds that DOJ's greatest strength is its technical assistance and outreach and education program, which is extremely effective and praised widely by agency stakeholders.
