Introduction
In life, there are universal laws that govern everything we do. These laws are so perfect that if you were to align yourself with them, you could have so much prosperity that it would be coming out of your ears. This is because God created the universe in the image and likeness of him. It is failure to follow the universal laws that causes one to fail. The laws that were created consisted of the following: ·
Law of Gratitude: The Law of Gratitude states that you must show gratitude for what you have. By having gratitude, you speed your growth and success faster than you normally would. This is because if you appreciate the things you have, even if they are small things, you are open to receiving more.
Law of Attraction: The Law of Attraction states that if you focus your attention on something long enough you will get it. It all starts in the mind. You think of something and when you think of it, you manifest that in your life. This could be a mental picture of a check or actual cash, but you think about it with an image.
Law of Karma: the Law of Karma states that if you go out and do something bad, it will come back to you with something bad. If you do well for others, good things happen to you. The principle here is to know you can create good or bad through your actions. There will always be an effect no matter what.
Law of Love: the Law of Love states that love is more than emotion or feeling; it is energy. It has substance and can be felt. Love is also considered acceptance of oneself or others. This means that no matter what you do in life if you do not approach or leave the situation out of love, it won't work.
Law of Allowing: The Law of Allowing states that for us to get what we want, we must be receptive to it. We can't merely say to the Universe that we want something if we don't allow ourselves to receive it. This will defeat our purpose for wanting it in the first place.
Law of Vibration: the Law of Vibration states that if you wish on something and use your thoughts to visualize it, you are halfway there to get it. To complete the cycle you must use the Law of Vibration to feel part of what you want. Do this and you'll have anything you want in life.
For everything to function properly there has to be structure. Without structure, our world, or universe, would be in utter chaos. Successful people understand universal laws and apply them daily. They may not acknowledge that to you, but they do follow the laws. There is a higher power and this higher power controls the universe and what we get out of it. People who know this, but wish to direct their own lives, follow the reasons. Successful people don't sit around and say "I'll try," they say yes and act on it.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Understanding and measuring consumption motives in the performing arts (Pieter de Rooij)
1. Understanding and measuring
consumption motives in the
performing arts
41stInternational Conference of
Social Theory, Politics and the Arts (STP&A)
Adelaide, Australia
Pieter de Rooij and Marcel Bastiaansen
NHTV Breda University of Applied Sciences
Academy for Leisure
The Netherlands
2. Introduction motivation
• mental disposition to aim at specific behaviour or a
trigger to act
• Understanding motivation important for:
– understanding satisfaction, experiences and decision-making process
(Crompton and Mc Kay, 1997;Snepinger et al., 2006;Hume et al.,
2006)
– designing offerings
• no common understanding on categorizing, conceptualizing
and measuring consumptionmotives in the performing arts
• current literature it is fragmented and incomplete (Swanson
et al., 2008)
3. Objective & research questions
Objective:
to understand and measure consumption motives in the
performing arts and to explore the importance of these motives
to performing arts visitors.
Research questions:
1. How can we conceptualize and categorize consumption
motives of performing arts visitors?
2. How can we measure these consumptionmotives?
4. Qualitative study
• In-depth interviews
• Quota sample of 47 respondents Dutch theatre
(Theaters Tilburg): reflecting number of attendances,
postal code areas, gender, genre and age
• Data-analysis: transcription, indexing, framework
(Ritchie and Lewis, 2003)
5. Qualitative study
Interviews:
• What does respondent expect and want to experience?
• Association technique was applied, presenting eight
cards describing eight consumption motives:
‘I want to see or hear something beautiful’ (aesthetics)
‘I want to learn something or to amass knowledge’ (cognitive stimulation)
‘I want to get away for a short while and recover my energy’ (reduction)
‘I want to get totally absorbed or be entranced’ (transcendence)
‘I want to have pleasure and be entertained’ (entertainment)
‘I want to experience new and original things’ (variety and novelty)
‘I want to be with other people’ (bonding)
‘I want to belong to the people who visit a theatre’ (distinction)
6. Results qualitative study
• each individual interrelates the motives in his/her own way
and from their own perspective
• The main reasons to attend are individual combinations of
motives, different in time, and vary with companions and the
type of performance
• This study not only shows that there are many connections
between motives, but it also shows that certain definitions
have overlapping elements
8. ‘We have 8 grandchildren so, we never
go all together, but always the two of
us, with two grandchildren. This is what
we do and we want to continue to do it.
We think it’s a small stimulus to
develop an interest in culture’.
‘ And also because of
the shrewdness of the
cabaret performer.
What’s his view of
society is. And also the
mirror he holds up to
life.’
‘ Yes, I feel it’s just a nice
outing. Not too long, not
too short. Just something
different. Just to be
entertained.’
'And it’s logical that you
want to see something
wonderful, otherwise you
wouldn’t go. That definitely
has to be so.'
9. ‘A girlfriend of mine sings in a
church and sometimes they
give performances. And my
daughter who plays at M4U,
so I go there as well. And a
niece who plays at Factorium.’
‘Yeah, they are
after all a bit like
yourself, I think. A
little, not too
alternative and
not too common.’
‘So that really with your friends,
acquaintances and family, you also
really undertake something.
Obviously they pop in sometimes
for a coffee or suchlike, but this is
really doing something together.’
‘ I think it’s good that this often
happens. That people think: I
want to go with that group of
people, then I can talk about it
and then I can also say at
parties that I’ve been
somewhere.’
10. Quantitative study
• Goal: to test the model and to develop an instrument to
measure consumptionmotives
• cross-sectionalstudy among guests of concerthall ‘De Doelen’
in Rotterdam, The Netherlands
• online questionnaire sent to 714 visitors of a classical music
concert (Mozart) four days before the actual concert took
place
• 220 visitors completed the questionnaire (30.8% response
rate)
11. Questionnaire construction
• items taken from questionnaires used in previously published
studies in arts, tourism and sports (Crompton and McKay,
1997; Fodness, 1994; Funk et al., 2003; Glynn et al., 1996;
Kyle et al., 2006; Swanson et al., 2008).
• Where necessary: adaptation to performing arts context
• based on the qualitative study, a quantitative pilot study and a
discussion with marketing management of concerthall ‘De
Doelen’, a total of 17 items were constructedby the authors
themselves.
12.
13.
14.
15. - Most of the motives: high component loadings (Cultural
Reduction, Cultural Stimulation, and all four social
motives).
- Items Cultural Transmission did not cluster together into
one single component
16. - Six items Cultural Aesthetics on two different
components (first four items Artistic Value; last
two items Enjoyment of Beauty of the
performance)
- Cultural Reduction measured by two dimensions
(escape and recreation): both dimensions clearly
cluster together in one component.
17. relatively good fit: X²(8)=8,448, p>0,05,
X²/df=1,056, GFI=0.998, RMSEA=0.007, CFI=1.000.
18. Conclusion
• Motives: cultural and social nature
• Cultural aesthetics in the heart of framework
• Framework largely confirmed in quantitative study
• Need for replication with different audiences from
different venues
