  • A YEAR in Review 2009 Welcome to Another Edition of V.Alum
    FACULTY OF LAW A YEAR IN REVIEW 2009 Welcome to another edition of V.Alum. The handsome clock pictured on the cover of this publication adorns the apex of Old Government Building, where Victoria’s Law School is situated. It reminds us all “Tempus Fugit” and as another year finishes there could be nothing more apposite. What a year it has been. We held a celebration for Richard Boast’s success at the Montana Book Awards which was attended by a wonderful cross-section of people from the University and the city. The History Department, Crown Law, the Waitangi Tribunal, the Stout Research Centre – were but a few of the institutions represented. I said then that Richard’s work was further proof of the contribution that this Faculty makes not only to the law firms of the nation but also to the analysis of the fabric of history and the evolution of nation-building itself. The following pages resonate with such activities, which engage with the past, the present and the future: research on the criminal procedures surrounding trials of sexual offences case is side-by-side with an account of a conference which celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. From the Dean From There is much to read. I hope you enjoy it and feel as proud of it as I do.

The sheltered harbour conditions have made Lisbon a major port for two millennia, and as a result of the maritime exploits of the Age of Discoveries Lisbon became the centre of an imperial Portugal. Modern Lisbon is a diverse, exciting, creative city where the ancient and modern mix, and adventure hides around every corner. 2018 Venue: The Altice Arena Sitting like a beautiful UFO on the banks of the River Tagus, the Altice Arena has hosted events as diverse as technology forum Web Summit, the 2002 World Fencing Championships and Kylie Minogue’s Portuguese debut concert.

    84 823 65 Special thanks to the Independent Institute of Socio-Economic and Political Studies for assistance in getting access to archival data. The author also expresses sincere thanks to the International Consortium "EuroBelarus" and the Belarusian Association of Journalists for information support in preparing this book. Photos by ByMedia.Net and from family albums. Aliaksandr Tamkovich Contemporary History in Faces / Aliaksandr Tamkovich. — 2014. — ... pages. The book contains political essays about people who are well known in Belarus and abroad and who had the most direct relevance to the contemporary history of Belarus over the last 15 to 20 years. The author not only recalls some biographical data but also analyses the role of each of them in the development of Belarus. And there is another very important point. The articles collected in this book were written at different times, so today some changes can be introduced to dates, facts and opinions but the author did not do this INTENTIONALLY. People are not less interested in what we thought yesterday than in what we think today. Information and Op-Ed Publication 84 823 © Aliaksandr Tamkovich, 2014 AUTHOR’S PROLOGUE Probably, it is already known to many of those who talked to the author "on tape" but I will reiterate this idea. I have two encyclopedias on my bookshelves. One was published before 1995 when many people were not in the position yet to take their place in the contemporary history of Belarus. The other one was made recently. The fi rst book was very modest and the second book was printed on classy coated paper and richly decorated with photos.

  • L'italia E L'eurovision Song Contest Un Rinnovato
    La musica unisce l'Europa… e non solo C'è chi la definisce "La Champions League" della musica e in fondo non sbaglia. L'Eurovision è una grande festa, ma soprattutto è un concorso in cui i Paesi d'Europa si sfidano a colpi di note. Tecnicamente, è un concorso fra televisioni, visto che ad organizzarlo è l'EBU (European Broadcasting Union), l'ente che riunisce le tv pubbliche d'Europa e del bacino del Mediterraneo. Noi italiani l'abbiamo a lungo chiamato Eurofestival, i francesi sciovinisti lo chiamano Concours Eurovision de la Chanson, l'abbreviazione per tutti è Eurovision. Oggi più che mai una rassegna globale, che vede protagonisti nel 2016 43 paesi: 42 aderenti all'ente organizzatore più l'Australia, che dell'EBU è solo membro associato, essendo fuori dall'area (l’anno scorso fu invitata dall’EBU per festeggiare i 60 anni del concorso per via dei grandi ascolti che la rassegna fa in quel paese e che quest’anno è stata nuovamente invitata dall’organizzazione). L'ideatore della rassegna fu un italiano: Sergio Pugliese, nel 1956 direttore della RAI, che ispirandosi a Sanremo volle creare una rassegna musicale europea. La propose a Marcel Bezençon, il franco-svizzero allora direttore generale del neonato consorzio eurovisione, che mise il sigillo sull'idea: ecco così nascere un concorso di musica con lo scopo nobile di promuovere la collaborazione e l'amicizia tra i popoli europei, la ricostituzione di un continente dilaniato dalla guerra attraverso lo spettacolo e la tv. E oltre a questo, molto più prosaicamente, anche sperimentare una diretta in simultanea in più Paesi e promuovere il mezzo televisivo nel vecchio continente.

  • Arti Audiovisive 2020 Articolo
    ARTI AUDIOVISIVE 2020 ARTICOLO 2 - "Siamo ancora tutti Festivalieri per 70 volte musicali" - 14/02/2020 Puntuali ogni anno milioni di italiani non perdono occasione per assistere all’evento musicale e mediatico italiano, più seguito dal pubblico amante della musica, non solo nella nostra cara penisola, ma anche al di fuori dei nostri confini territoriali fin dalla prima celeberrima edizione del 1951. Se son cambiate le scenografie sempre più scintillanti e colorate, dagli esordi invece più tradizionali arredati da semplici fiori multicolore, lo spirito della competizione è sempre lo stesso, e se un tempo era promulgato dai giornali radio e tv, ora è sempre più proiettato al mondo dei social media che ne amplificano la risonanza. Quest’anno 2020, correva l’edizione numero 70 affidata alla lungimiranza del simpatico Amadeus, il quale abbiamo scoperto anche ottimo organizzatore e mediatore, nonché presentatore amichevole e simpatico (molto probabilmente verrà richiamato per un bis nel 2021). Si è avvalso per l’occasione di un eclettico Fiorello che ha saputo condire l’insalata multietnica sanremese, con un peperoncino piccante ed un profumo fantasioso di conferma al buonumore assicurato. Non poteva mancare una quota rosa alla conduzione, scelta fra colleghe presentatrici in vari settori e non solo, perché abbiano padronanza del palco dell’Ariston, sia con la loro bellezza che con la loro professionalità, le conduttrici italiane Antonella Clerici, Mara Venier e Diletta Leotta e l’albanese Alketa Vejsiu, le giornaliste italiane Emma D’Aquino e Laura Chimenti, e Italo-israeliana Rula Jebreal, la cantante e show girl Sabrina Salerno, le modelle Argentina Georgina Rodriguez e italiana Francesca Sofia Novello.
