Criei no fundo do palco uma grande superfície branca rica em texturas resultantes da disposição orgânica de milhares de papéis suspensos. Sobre esses papéis são projetadas imagens.
Imagens que são interpretações do sentimento gerado por cada música interpretada nesse palco.
A tela um tanto fragmentada traduz a fragilidade do amor, sua inconstância, suas diversas facetas.
Próximo a metade do Show o público é surpreendido pela queda proposital da tela. E os papéis flutuam.
O amor se desfaz e dele surge o vazio, o palco fica preto.
Até que surge um ponto branco no centro do palco, uma lua, um ponto de partida que ao longo das próximas músicas se expande numa mandala de discos. E as projeções de sentimentos sobre superfícies improváveis seguem encantando o público.

Women on board: France beyond quotas? OverviewESCP Europe
This document provides an overview of Monica Wirz's presentation on women on boards and beyond quotas. The presentation aims to situate the debate on gender quotas for corporate boards in its proper context. It discusses the gender leadership paradox of high awareness of the need for more women in leadership but persistently low participation. The debate involves considering representation, gender assumptions of leadership, and key dimensions like numbers and critical mass. The document offers a multi-dimensional framework to move the discussion beyond dichotomous thinking to consider the macro, meso, and micro levels.
The document discusses how AIESEC, a youth organization, can remain relevant to young people in a changing world. It suggests that AIESEC should focus on representing youth voices, advocating for issues important to young people, and creating opportunities aligned with the challenges youth identify. To do this effectively, AIESEC needs to understand key trends affecting youth through research like "youth speak." It also must determine how to represent all young people, not just university students, and influence policies through strategic partnerships. The goal is placing youth at the center of AIESEC's work so it can enable action and inspire young people to address issues they care about globally.

How Communities Use Nonviolent Strategies to Avoid Civil War Violencejfitzpatrickicnc
Dr. Oliver Kaplan, Lecturer in Human Rights at the Josef Korbel School, University of Denver
Wednesday, January 30
Civilians would seem powerless when facing violent and heavily armed actors in settings of civil conflict, and yet communities in various countries have found ways to avoid violence. In this presentation Dr. Kaplan will discuss the various strategies he has documented that communities from around the world have used to retain autonomy and self-rule in the face of competition among multiple armed groups.
Since armed actor coercion of (and violence against) civilians has been theorized to stem from divisions within civilian societies, Dr. Kaplan argues that social cohesion among civilian communities affords them greater chances to implement nonviolent collective strategies to deceive and influence armed actors and defend their communities. He explores how these strategies vary in their organizational requirements, contentiousness, and probable effectiveness. These strategies illustrate that the unity of unarmed civilians can help impede and isolate violent "extremists."

This document is an introduction to the book "Choose Yourself" by James Altucher. It describes the author's personal journey of repeated business failures and financial losses that led him to the brink of suicide. After losing his money, home, family, and friends in the 2008 financial crisis, he had an epiphany that the only way to survive and thrive was to "choose himself" and take full responsibility for his own success and happiness, rather than relying on others or external factors. The book aims to teach readers how to reinvent themselves, find purpose and meaning, and achieve success through choosing themselves in every aspect of their lives.
The document outlines various sponsorship and partnership opportunities between businesses and the Humane Society of Adams County (HSAC). These include having employee volunteer at the shelter, sponsoring pets of the week in ads, sponsoring kennels or other areas of the shelter with signage, offering membership discounts to HSAC supporters, hosting supply drives, and coordinating special fundraising events at businesses. The partnerships are intended to mutually benefit the businesses through promotion and the HSAC's mission of caring for animals.
The document outlines 6 concerns of change that leaders must address: 1) providing information to people about the change, 2) addressing personal impacts and triggers, 3) planning implementation logistics, 4) communicating overall impacts, 5) fostering collaboration, and 6) ensuring transformation is infused into the organization's culture. The summary emphasizes that when a change process is done correctly by a leader addressing these concerns, it can unleash organizational energy, improve employee competencies and motivation, and enhance performance.
This document discusses how structural changes have led to new attitudes and behaviors among the public. Costs are decreasing to near zero and people now have unprecedented access to information, customization, participation and collaboration. This has shifted people's expectations away from centralized 20th century institutions toward more individual choice and control. Institutions face tensions between preserving their existing models and adapting to these new realities. They must help communities identify meaningful public work and support people's ability to actively contribute, in order to rebuild emotional attachment and shared purpose.
This document discusses ways to free up more time by reducing wasted time. It argues that traditional time management techniques do not work because time cannot be managed, but one's mindset can be changed. It recommends focusing less on productivity and more on reducing unnecessary activities in order to focus on goals that are truly important. Specific behaviors to change include wasting time by avoiding meaningful tasks and engaging in escapist activities instead of true recreation. The goal is to make small, continuous improvements in reducing wasted time rather than expecting overnight changes.
The document provides an overview of the Youth Initiative Canada's Beyond Hoops 2010 program.
