AbstractOpt-in or opt-out? That is the basic question to be answered. The decision to promote actions of “opt-in” type as opposed to those of the “opt-out” type, for the sake of private autonomy, does not ensure the effective application of european competition law. On the contrary, it may decrease the application’s intensity and effectiveness. Recent reforms among European state members such as in the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway are powerful indications that the opt-out principle may result in the effective implementation of competition law. There is no doubt that a mixed system (hybrid system), providing the court with the power to decide in favour of either the opt-in or the opt-out system, will result in better implementation of competition law. At the present time there are two pending cases in England (Dorothy Gibson and Mastercard) for which the decision on opt-out or opt-in are highly anticipated. Should the court decide, in one or both of the cases, on an opt-out approach, this will bring a momentous reevaluation of the entire collective redress concept.

ABSTRACT This paper analyzes Gending Karesmen that had been living and developing in Priangan, cen- tered in Bandung City, in 1904 to 1942. Gending Karesmen emerged as Tunil Tembang which came up in 1904. In the begining, the performance of Tunil Tembang was plain and simple, then it gradu- ally became more complex and specific. The story, dance, music, and performance were established. The music became dominant factor related to the song (tembang) performed by the player in every dialog expression. Gending Karesmen grew well, almost without any hindrance, because it was sup- ported by the local officials (e.g. Bupati) and intellectuals. It was also because of the socio culture, economic and politic atmosphere in Priangan that were conducive in that period. Keywords: Gending Karesmen, Ménak Traditional Theater  ABSTRAK Tulisan ini menganalisis tentang Gending Karesmen yang hidup dan berkembang di Priangan, yang berpusat di Kota Bandung, pada tahun 1904-1942. Gending Karesmen mun- cul sebagai Tunil Tembang yang berkembang pada tahun 1904. Pada mulanya pertunjukan Tunil Tembang itu polos dan sederhana, kemudian secara bertahap menjadi lebih kompleks dan spesifik. Cerita, tarian, musik, dan pertunjukannya menjadi berkembang. Musiknya menjadi faktor dominan yang berhubungan dengan lagu (tembang) yang dimainkan oleh pemainnya dalam setiap ekspresi dialog. Gending Karesmen berkembang dengan baik, hampir tidak ada hambatan, karena didukung oleh para pejabat setempat (misalnya Bu- pati) dan intelektual. Hal ini juga dikarenakan sosial budaya, suasana ekonomi dan politik di Priangan yang kondusif pada periode tersebut. Kata kunci: Gending Karesmen, Teater Tradisional Ménak

Contemporary trends in popular music incorporate timbres, formal structures, and production techniques borrowed from Electronic Dance Music (EDM). The musical surface demonstrates this clearly to the listener; less obvious are the modifications made to formal prototypes used in rock and popular music. This article explains a new formal section common to collaborative Pop/EDM songs called the Dance Chorus. Following the verse and chorus, a Dance Chorus is an intensified version of the chorus that retains the same harmony and contains the hook of the song, which increases memorability for the audience. As the name implies, the Dance Chorus also incorporates and acknowledges the embodiment performed in this section.

That standardized tests do not accurately assess the true competencies of minority test takers is a widely shared claim among conservative educationists. The opt-out-of-testing community has lately grown unprecedentedly vocal in several states, questioning even more seriously the accountability of the testing system altogether. This paper adopts a Critical Race Theory perspective to investigate the conceptual underpinnings of conservative criticism as well as the interpretations made popular using quantitative methodology. The key premise of this paper is that a colorblind approach to testing understates the importance of a range of unquantifiable variables, mainly the linguitic and cultural backgrounds of the test takers, in determining assessment outcome. It attempts to demonstrate where specifically standardized tests may not be used as a reliable feedback mechanism and suggests that a more flexible assessment paradigm be considered, one that engages learning quality followup to keep cultural bias to a strict minimum.
