Das neue Bündnis „Alarmstufe Rot“ handelt im Interesse von rund 9000 Unternehmen, über 200.000 Beschäftigten und mehr als 10.000 Auszubildenden. Wir stellen damit konkrete Forderungen an die Regierung, um den sechstgrößten Wirtschaftszweig Deutschlands mit seinen Millionen von Arbeitsplätzen zu retten. um Bündnis gehören neben der von mir initiierten „Night Of Light“ noch die Initiativen „Back To Live“. „Jetzt-sonst“, „Save Events“, „Einzelunternehmer.info“ sowie die Initiati- Z ve Veranstaltungswirtschaft. Zusätzlich zu diesen Initiativen haben sich neben dem FA- MAB initial auch zwölf weitere Verbände der Veranstaltungswirtschaft dem Bündnis als Unterstüt- zer angeschlossen und fördern die Kundgebungen und Forderungen. Dazu zählen auch mehrere IHK-Bezirke, die seit Wochen bei der Bundesregierung ebenfalls die dra- Editorial matische Lage ihrer Mitgliedsunternehmen vortragen. Die Night of Light hat das Land flächendeckend rot beleuchtet und für viel Aufmerksamkeit in allen Medien gesorgt. Seitdem ist leider wenig pas- siert.

Att den reser sig är betingat av att – och hur – vi väljer att agera nu. Stockholms Handelskammare driver under 2021 initiativet Partnerskap för Stockholm med syfte att nystarta huvudstadsregionen. Tillsammans med strategiska partners vill vi bygga upp och utveckla Stockholm till en ännu smartare, vackrare och mer hållbar plats efter pandemin. För vi tror på stadens kraft – och vi tror på Stockholm. Inom ramen för Partnerskap för Stockholm driver vi olika teman. Vi fokuserar bland annat på stadsbyggnad och stadsmiljö, stadens liv och puls, den smarta och hållbara staden samt relationen stad – land. Mot Europas bästa huvudstadsregion. Nu!

ABSTRACT In the technological world of 2012, the social media Facebook has become a big part of most people’s lives in the Western society. This project seeks to investigate how individuals create a profile on Face- book and how they might customize their personal- ity on the screen. This project works with the soci- ologists Erving Goffman and Sherry Turkle, whose theories have been, applied in this case study. More- over the theory autoethnography have been used to analyse each of the group members profile pictures and profile information on Facebook. The results from the investigation were used to confirm the pro- jects hypothesis and problem statement.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
