POMPEO I am pleased to release the State Department’s new report detailing the scope of the Iranian regime’s destructive behavior at home and abroad on the eve of the Islamic Revolution’s 40th anniversary. On May 8, 2018, President Donald J. Trump announced his decision to cease U.S. participation in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly referred to as the Iran deal. The Iran deal was proving to be a failed strategic bet that fell short of protecting the American people or our allies from the potential of an Iranian nuclear weapon. The futility of entrusting our long term security to an agreement that will quickly expire was underscored by the recent bombshell that Iran had secretly preserved its past nuclear weapons research after the implementation of the JCPOA.

The Persistence of the Andalusian Identity in Rabat, Morocco Abstract This thesis investigates the problem of how an historical identity persists within a community in Rabat, Morocco, that traces its ancestry to Spain. Called Andalusians, these Moroccans are descended from Spanish Muslims who were first forced to convert to Christianity after 1492, and were expelled from the Iberian peninsula in the early seventeenth century. I conducted both ethnographic and historical archival research among Rabati Andalusian families. There are four main reasons for the persistence of the Andalusian identity in spite of the strong acculturative forces of religion, language, and culture in Moroccan society. First, the presence of a strong historical continuity of the Andalusian heritage in North Africa has provided a dominant history into which the exiled communities could integrate themselves. Second, the predominant practice of endogamy, as well as other social practices, reinforces an intergenerational continuity among Rabati Andalusians. Third, the Andalusian identity is a single identity that has a complex range of sociocultural contexts in which it is both meaningful and flexible.

  • Solo E Pensoso Giovanni Antonini Il Giardino Armonico Menu Tracklist Haydn 2032
    NO. 3 SOLO E PEnsOSO Giovanni Antonini Il Giardino Armonico MENU TRACKLIST HAYDN 2032 "SOLO E PENSOSO" BY GIOVANI ANTONINI ENGLISH / FRANÇAIS / DEUTSCH HAYDN THE SOLITARY BY CHRISTIAN MORITZ-BAUER ENGLISH / FRANÇAIS / DEUTSCH SOLO E PENSOSO I PIU DESERTI CAMPI FRANCESCO PETRARCA (1304-1374) CANZONIERE, SONETTO XXXV BIOGRAPHIES Bruno Barbey / Magnum Photos MENU Looking forward to the three hundredth anniversary of the birth of Haydn in 2032, the Joseph Haydn Stiftung Foundation of Basel has joined forces with the Alpha label to make a complete recording of the composer’s 107 symphonies. This ambitious project is placed under the artistic direction of Giovanni Antonini, who will share the recordings between his ensemble Il Giardino Armonico and the Basel Chamber Orchestra, which he conducts regularly. The aim is to celebrate one of the key composers in the history of music, one of the most proli c (he wrote more than 300 large-scale works, symphonies, string quartets, piano sonatas, concertos, oratorios, operas), but also one of the subtlest. Seeing the music of Haydn as ‘a kaleidoscope of human emotions’, Giovanni Antonini has decided to tackle the symphonies not in chronological order, but in thematically based programmes (‘La passione’, ‘Il losofo’, ‘Il distratto’, etc.). Moreover, the Italian conductor believes it is important to establish links between these works and pieces written by other composers contemporary with Haydn or in some way connected with him. Hence, alongside his symphonies, each volume will include music by gures like Gluck, Porpora, C. P. E. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Michael Haydn and Stamitz. 5 “A KALEIDOSCOPE OF HUMAN EMOTIONS” Beyond its status as a unique discographical adventure, Haydn2032 will also bring together leading European concert halls, which will present these programmes to their audiences.

  • Morocco: Current Issues
    Morocco: Current Issues Carol Migdalovitz Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs June 29, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS21579 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Morocco: Current Issues Summary The United States government views Morocco as a moderate Arab regime, an ally against terrorism, and a free trade partner. King Mohammed VI retains supreme power but has taken incremental liberalizing steps. Since 9/11, Moroccan expatriates have been implicated in international terrorism, and Morocco has suffered terror attacks. Morocco takes a proactive approach to countering terror, but some of its measures may be setting back progress in human rights. Morocco’s foreign policy focuses largely on Europe, particularly France and Spain, and the United States. In the Middle East, it supports a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and has severed diplomatic relations with Iran for bilateral reasons. This report will be updated as developments warrant. See also CRS Report RS21464, Morocco-U.S. Free Trade Agreement, by Raymond J.
