Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue signed our proclamation on March 10, and I had the honor and pleasure of taking part in the signing ceremony. He was extremely nice, and thanked us for all of the hard work we do every day. We had a busy week here at Medical Center of Central Georgia. Our office made a tri-fold board with pictures of the cancer registrars, the proclamation and descriptions of the varied duties we perform, and we placed the board on the lunch table at that week's Tumor Conference. There was also a big sheet cake with the words "Cancer Registrar's Week" (which the doctors just loved!). Each day of the week our non-registry hospital co- workers gave us a "special gift" to celebrate - a plant, cookies, candles, a picture frame and ice cream. We were really spoiled, but it was really nice for everyone to remember us and the work we do every day. Hope everyone else had a great week! * * * * * * * * * * * * GATRA Bylaws - Call for Review Diane Stapleton, CTR Chair, GATRA Bylaws Committee Attention all members!

    LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS TOGETHER SEPTEMBER 2020 EARNINGS P. 3 NEWS P. 4 DIARY P. 8 — 2020 half-year — Universal Music Group — Shareholders’ diary results expands its global footprint Vivendi and you VALIDÉ, CRÉATION ORIGINALE OF CANAL+ © Fifou/Mandarin Télévision/Canal+ Photos/DR GOOD HALF-YEAR RESULTS Yannick Bolloré, Chairman of the Supervisory board, and Arnaud de Puyfontaine, Chairman of the Management Board Dear Shareholders, ivendi has demonstrated its resilience over the past few unprecedented months by staying the strategic course set in 2014: to build a world leader in culture, at the crossroads of the entertainment, media and communications industries. Our group’s business model is both coherent and diversified, which is a significant asset. Vivendi operates in a number of different sectors and countries, and can therefore offset the difficulties encountered in one market with a strong performance in another. In addition, the group’s digital activities have been fully developed, which proved advantageous during the lockdowns. Finally, the revenues generated Vfrom its two main businesses, music and audiovisual content, are directly or indirectly linked to subscriptions, a business model with recurring revenues. In a very difficult environment, Vivendi generated an adjusted net income of €583 million in the first half of 2020, up 5.4%. For the second half, we are carefully analyzing the consequences of the crisis. Today, it is difficult to determine how it will impact the annual results. Nevertheless, Vivendi remains confident in the resilience of its main businesses, music and audiovisual content. Those tied to advertising and live performance may be affected for a more extended period than the others.

    This book provides a unique and intriguing insight into current debates concerning the relationship between nation and state Jordan Paul as well as the political management of international image in today’s Europe through an examination of debates on nation branding and the Eurovision Song Contest. Europe is a con- tested construct and its boundaries are subject to redefinition. This work aims to advance critical thinking about contempo- rary nation branding and its relationship to, and influence on, Paul Jordan nation building. In particular it focusses on key identity debates The Modern Tale Fairy that the Eurovision Song Contest engendered in Estonia in the run-up to EU accession. The Eurovision Song Contest is an event which is often dismissed as musically and culturally The Modern Fairy Tale: inferior. However, this work demonstrates that it has the capac- ity to shed light on key identity debates and illuminate wider Nation Branding, National Identity socio-political issues. Using a series of in-depth interviews with and the Eurovision Song Contest political elites, media professionals and opinion leaders, this book is a valuable contribution to the growing field of research in Estonia on nation branding and the Eurovision Song Contest.

  • Linguistic and Cultural Changes Throughout the History of the Eurovision Song Contest
    Linguistic and cultural changes throughout the history of the Eurovision Song Contest Trabajo de Fin de Grado Lenguas Modernas y Traducción Facultad de Filosofía y Letras Written by: Sergio Lucas Rojo Tutored by: Irina Ursachi July 2020 Abstract This paper aims to clarify some of the linguistic problems that have arisen in recent years at the Eurovision Song Contest, one of the most important music events in the world. Through an exhaustive bibliographic review and the individual analysis of a large number of entries, it is concluded that linguistic diversity, an identifying feature of the show in the past, has been reduced by establishing a rule that does not oblige artists to sing in the language of the country they represent. English has taken over the reins of this annual competition, although there is still room for the traditional and the ethnic. The research that has been carried out is intended to serve as a reference for all Eurovision followers who wish to expand their knowledge. It also attempts to clarify concepts such as “linguistic diversity”, “identity” and “culture”, which can be extrapolated to other fields of knowledge. It must be noted that not only have linguistic issues been dealt with, but there are references to all the factors involved in the contest. However, it is those phenomena related to languages that form the backbone of the work. Key words: Eurovision Song Contest, languages, culture, identity, Europe, music. Resumen Este trabajo responde a la necesidad de aclarar algunos problemas lingüísticos que han surgido en los últimos años en el Festival de Eurovisión, uno de los eventos musicales más importantes del mundo.
