Non lo sapremo mai perché nella sesta edizione del talent show X Factor, l'allora giudice Arisa aveva intuito che le giovanissime sorelle gemelle Giulia e Silvia Provvedi avevano non solo un innato talento per il mondo dello spettacolo, ma anche un punto di riferimento nel firmamento musicale italiano: Donatella Rettore. Da quel momento le allora 18enni modenesi divennero le Donatella. Vincitrici dell'ultima trionfale edizione de L'Isola dei Famosi, le Donatella si lanciano con il loro incontenibile entusiasmo in questo nuovo progetto, il brano Donatella: "Non lo vediamo come un singolo vero e proprio ma come un divertimento in musica, un regalo a tutti i nostri fan in perfetto stile Donatella: energico, pieno di vita e travolgente!" Con questa scelta vogliono naturalmente rendere omaggio alla regina del synth pop anni '80 che ha ispirato il loro nome d'arte: Donatella Rettore. "Per noi si realizza un sogno -? dichiarano: abbiamo sempre desiderato conoscere Donatella Rettore e finalmente ce l'abbiamo fatta! Questo progetto ci riempie di orgoglio: una rivisitazione moderna in chiave dance del famoso brano del 1981, che abbiamo sempre amato moltissimo per la sua ironia e sregolatezza.

We have also analysed the treaty reforms performed within the EU (Nice Treaty and European Convention), necessary for correcting the democratic deficit and for reaching the objective of United States of Europe. The conclusion of this paper is that there is the need of a strong political will and states have Transylvanian Review to go beyond their national pride in order to reach of Administrative Sciences, an effective governance. 22E/2008 pp. 73-91 73 In order to achieve an institutional balance able to face the rivalries between the member states and to cover the deficit of the Union’s external image in international relations, it was necessary to accomplish an efficient governance which is connected to the inter-institutional relations, the European institutions relations with the member states, the share of votes within the council of Ministers, the majority vote and not last the more active participation of the European citizen to the community decision- making process. The question which emerged was the definition of this concept meaning in the arena of the relations of power, either inside a State, a company or an international organization. The term was borrowed from the science of economics, more exactly from the culture of the companies that wished to reach an increased efficiency on the world market arena.

    SANREMO “70 + 1” Il Festival 2021, ancora più musica Musica, sempre di più. E con tutte le sfumature proposte dai 26 Campioni in gara, ai quali si aggiungo- no le 8 Nuove Proposte. Il 71° Festival di Sanremo (anzi, il “70 + 1”) firmato dal Direttore Artistico Ama- deus va in scena: cinque appuntamenti, dal 2 al 6 marzo in prima serata su Rai1, Radio2 e RaiPlay, in diretta da un Teatro Ariston completamente trasformato dalla scenografia di Gaetano e Chiara Ca- stelli, mentre la regia – tra tradizione e sperimentazione - è firmata da Stefano Vicario. Ad affiancare Amadeus sul palco dell’Ariston, ci saranno Fiorello, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Achille Lauro, Matilda De An- gelis, Elodie, Vittoria Ceretti, Barbara Palombelli e altri grandi ospiti dal mondo della musica e non solo. Come sempre, i cantanti saranno accompagnati dall’Orchestra del Festival - composta da musicisti professionisti in parte scelti dalla Rai e in parte messi a disposizione dalla Fondazione Orchestra Sin- fonica di Sanremo – e dai coristi. “Io, Fiorello e tutte le persone che lavorano con noi – dice Amadeus - siamo sicuri che sarà un San- remo da ricordare, in un anno tra i più difficili della nostra vita, con la voglia di ripartire e di regalare al pubblico a casa qualcosa di unico. Il Festival di Sanremo ci appartiene, appartiene al costume e alla musica di questo Paese. Anche tra mille difficoltà: ‘La musica non si ferma mai‘. Lo spettacolo sta per iniziare!”. I 26 Campioni parteciperanno ciascuno con una canzone inedita e si esibiranno a gruppi di 13 nella prima e nella seconda serata del Festival.

    Pakistan Statement -- International Terrorism

    PAKISTAN PERMANENT MISSION TO THE UNITED NATIONS 8 EAST 65th STREET - NEW YORK,NY 10065 -(212) 879-8600 Please check against delivei STATEMENT BY AMBASSADOR DR. MALEEHA LODHI PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF PAKISTAN TO THE UNITED NATIONS AT THE SIXTH COMMITTEE AGENDA ITEM-109: MEASURES TO ELIMINATE INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM New York, 3'"'^ October 2017 Mr. Chairman, On behalf of the Pakistan delegation, I congratulate you and members of the Bureau on the assumption of your offices. We are confident that you and your team will ably guide the work of this Committee. We assure you of our full support. Pakistan aligns itself with the statements delivered on behalf of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). Mr. Chairman, Terrorism has claimed innocent lives, caused widespread destruction, undermined social stability and disrupted state structures. With Daesh becoming its new and even deadlier face. terrorism and violent extremism continue to be among the most complex and imposing challenges of our time. Pakistan unequivocally condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, including state terrorism. There can be no justification for the killing of innocent people anywhere, regardless of the cause or pretext. Fighting terrorism is a collective challenge and the international community must address it collaboratively. Mr. Chairman, Terrorism in Pakistan is an unfortunate by product of the political and geo-strategic developments and foreign interventions in our neighborhood over the past 40 years. We have lost over 27,000 of our citizens and law enforcement personnel to this scourge, with many more injured and maimed for life.

    Northwestern University “Mise En Vie” and Intra-Culturalism: Performing

    Northwestern University “Mise en vie ” and Intra-culturalism: Performing the Life of Black Migrants to Italy A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN THE PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS For the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of Performance Studies By Raffaele Furno Evanston, Illinois December 2008 2 ABSTRACT “Mise en vie ” and Intra-culturalism: Performing the Life of Black Migrants to Italy Raffaele Furno The dissertation aims to explore the intersection between the artistic performance of blackness in contemporary Italian theater and the country’s social stigmatization of black immigrants as a problem or national emergency. I argue that Italians live in a state of “historic forgetfulness” since they have not been able to absorb the racist discourse strongly implemented during the fascist regime. Tracing “historic forgetfulness” as an implicit ideology within contemporary restrictive immigration laws, and in the mass media focus on the illegal aspects of the migratory phenomenon, I use performance as a methodology and category to analyze the world and individuate viable alternatives to Italy’s (un)welcoming reaction to African immigrants. Through archival research, interviews and participant observation, I follow the work of the Afro-Romagnole ensemble Teatro delle Albe. The Albe perceives theater as a tool to show the richness and endless possibilities contained in religious, linguistic, and cultural differences. The group’s productions raise doubts on any dichotomous separation between right and wrong, legal and illegal, white and black. Working on the specificity of each individual, the Albe brings ethnic background to what it should be: one element of the far more complicated personal identity that encompass gender, sexuality, education, personal experiences, emotions, aspirations, and more.

    MASTER IN ADVANCED E UROPEAN AND INTERNAT IONAL STUDIES ANGLOPHONE BRANCH 2013 – 2014 The paradox of Europe’s borders An analysis of Romania’s state of play in the Schengen accession process Author: Claudia Badulescu Thesis advisor: MATTHIAS WAECHTER Istanbul – Nice – Berlin 2014 The paradox of Europe’s borders An analysis of Romania’s state of play in the Schengen accession process Author: CLAUDIA BADULESCU Thesis advisor: MATTHIAS WAECHTER Abstract: One of the most serious challenges to the European unity is represented by the increased structural, political and implementation diversity brought up by the new EU members. The prospects of enlarging the continent’s borders by fully integrating Romania and Bulgaria in the Schengen area ignited controversial debates that questioned the practicability of EU’s motto “Unity in diversity”. This paper analyses the unique political dynamics that accompanied Romania in the Schengen accession process. Since 2011 Romania has been caught in an indeterminate state between having fulfilled the technical requirements and becoming a fully-fledged Schengen member. The contradictory behaviour of the Council combined with the vague explanations given by the EU officials regarding the decision to delay Romania’s accession signal an urgent need to overcome the internal mistrust in the EU’s institutions. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to analyse the legal grounds of the reasons invoked for denying Romania’s accession to the Schengen zone. I concluded the paper with essential recommendations for both the Romanian and the European administration that could be used to find a solution to this political deadlock. Keywords: Schengen, borders, technical criteria, corruption, identity, populism, Roma’s malintegration, migration, coupled accession, mistrust, securitization, structural reforms, development 1 Table of contents List of Abbreviations ...........................................................................................................
