The language has important role in daily life; because without language, the complex structure social life can not be achieved. Language can be divided into two functions; there are common function and special function. Language as common function is an instrument to show the expressions, communication, integration and social adaptation. Meanwhile, language as special function is considered to arrange relationship in daily association, rendering art, study of codices and also to exploit science and technology. Language is an instrument to convey an idea whereas the communication is a delivery process of that information from one to another in order to influence to each other.1 Language must be understood and also should be interesting.

  • Umphrey's Mcgee
    Umphrey’s McGee Brendan Bayliss: Guitar, vocals Jake Cinninger: Guitar, vocals Joel Cummins: Keyboard, piano, vocals Andy Farag: Percussion Kris Myers: Drums, vocals Ryan Stasik: Bass After 18-plus years of performing more than 100 concerts annually, releasing nine studio albums and selling more than 4.2 million tracks online, Umphrey’s McGee might be forgiven if they chose to rest on their laurels. But then that wouldn’t be consistent with the work ethic demonstrated by the band, which consistently attempts to raise the bar, setting and achieving new goals since forming on the Notre Dame campus in South Bend, Indiana, in 1997. After releasing their eighth studio album, Similar Skin, the first for their own indie label, Nothing Too Fancy (N2F) Music (distributed by RED), the group continued to push the envelope and test the limits. The London Session, was a dream come true for the members having been recorded at the legendary Studio Two at historic Abbey Road. The stealth recording session yielded 10 tracks in a single day, proving once again, the prolific UM waits for no one. As a follow up to The London Session, the envelope pushing continues with the November 11th release of ZONKEY. Umphrey’s McGee has been arranging and performing original mashups live for over eight years. It was only a matter of when, not if, some of those innovative concoctions would find their way into a studio. An album of 12 unique mashups, conceived and arranged by the band, ZONKEY is as seamless as it bizarre, playful as it is razor sharp.

  • The Southern (California) Question
    Have Your City and Eat It Too: Los Angeles and the Urban Food Renaissance By Alexander Robert Tarr A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography and the Designated Emphasis in Global Metropolitan Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Richard A Walker, Chair Professor Paul Duguid Professor Paul E Groth Professor Carolyn Finney Spring 2015 Abstract Have Your City and Eat It Too: Los Angeles and the Urban Food Renaissance By Alexander Robert Tarr Doctor of Philosophy in Geography Designated Emphasis in Global Metropolitan Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard A Walker, Chair Time and time again, the residents of Los Angeles have used the promises of the “garden city” and urban agriculture to imagine a way out of the persistent problems of urban life. In the contemporary moment, alternative food system activists are again working to create a cultural movement committed to “slow,” local and small- scale community-based urban food systems – which, paradoxically, they are organizing through sophisticated digital tools and global social media. This study argues that, beyond debates over urban diets, food is a lens through which post- industrial imaginaries of an egalitarian digital society are fused with pre-industrial imaginaries of utopian, agrarian communities. The consequence of these entangled visions is a unique set of practices that attempt to inject a sense of radical possibility into an urban geography that is itself the result of decades of struggle over land use, livelihoods, and urban culture.

  • RAGE AGAINST the MACHINE Rage Against the Machine (Metal)
    RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE Rage against the machine (Metal) Année de sortie : 1992 Nombre de pistes : 10 Durée : 53' Support : CD Provenance : Acheté Nous avons décidé de vous faire découvrir (ou re découvrir) les albums qui ont marqué une époque et qui nous paraissent importants pour comprendre l'évolution de notre style préféré. Nous traiterons de l'album en le réintégrant dans son contexte originel (anecdotes, etc.)... Une chronique qui se veut 100% "passionnée" et "nostalgique" et qui nous l'espérons, vous fera réagir par le biais des commentaires ! ...... Bon voyage ! Musiciens dotés d’une forte personnalité, le chanteur Zack DE LA ROCHA et le guitariste Tom MORELLO s’illustrent déjà à la fin des années 1980 dans diverses formations. Le premier appartient à la scène hardcore de Californie, où il débute la guitare puis fonde en 1988 INSIDE OUT. Ce groupe, dans lequel il tient le micro, exercera une influence certaine sur ce courant musical. Quant à MORELLO, il a formé dans l’Illinois ELECTRIC SHEEP, en compagnie d’Adam JONES, futur guitariste de TOOL. Persuadé de pouvoir y mener des projets plus sérieux, il se rend à Los Angeles, où il assiste à une prestation de Zack DE LA ROCHA. Le guitariste est séduit par le discours du chanteur, avec qui il fonde rapidement une nouvelle formation, complétée par le batteur Brad WILK et le bassiste Tim COMMERFORD, ami d’enfance du chanteur. Les musiciens optent pour le nom de RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE. A l’origine, il s’agissait du titre d’un des morceaux d’INSIDE OUT, et également celui prévu pour leur deuxième album, finalement jamais paru.

  • Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts
    Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts Shahnaz Begum Laghari PhD University of York Women’s Studies March 2016 Abstract The aim of this project is to investigate the phenomenon of honour-related violence, the most extreme form of which is honour killing. The research was conducted in Sindh (one of the four provinces of Pakistan). The main research question is, ‘Are these killings for honour?’ This study was inspired by a need to investigate whether the practice of honour killing in Sindh is still guided by the norm of honour or whether other elements have come to the fore. It is comprised of the experiences of those involved in honour killings through informal, semi- structured, open-ended, in-depth interviews, conducted under the framework of the qualitative method. The aim of my thesis is to apply a feminist perspective in interpreting the data to explore the tradition of honour killing and to let the versions of the affected people be heard. In my research, the women who are accused as karis, having very little redress, are uncertain about their lives; they speak and reveal the motives behind the allegations and killings in the name of honour. The male killers, whom I met inside and outside the jails, justify their act of killing in the name of honour, culture, tradition and religion. Drawing upon interviews with thirteen women and thirteen men, I explore and interpret the data to reveal their childhood, educational, financial and social conditions and the impacts of these on their lives, thoughts and actions.
