“Should the UK adopt the Euro as its currency”? The issue needs to be faced, of course, from different points of view. As for the citizen’s point of view, there are two sides that deserve careful consideration: the “domestic” and the “out of the border” point of views.

poetry These two poems, Follower by Seamus Heaney and Request to a year by Judith Wright seem to have nothing in common, just at looking the titles, apart from the visual structure composed with quatrains.

These women are affected by a problem

find another placement. I also wish to thank the staff of the Royal College of Music for welcoming me such quickly. Equally, I want to thank everyone in the facility for the care they gave during the placement, and I would like to give a big thank to Mr Rui AFONSO, cleaning supervisor of the departement, for all the time he gave to make me feel good during this month. Finally, I wish to thank the Bordeaux IV Montesquieu IUT faculty for giving us the opportunity to live through this rewarding experience

EMI – The long and winding road How collective idiocy left the record companies in bits When the history of our digital times comes to be written, one of the questions that will puzzle historians is why the record companies missed the significance of the internet. Throughout the post-war period, theirs was a big and powerful industry making lots of money, and controlling just about everything - recording artists, publishers, distributors and retailers.
