People From Fagersta Municipality
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, as i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

English-language Singers From Sweden
English is a West Germanic language that developed in early medieval England and has since become a global lingua franca. The namesake of the language is the Angles, one of the Germanic peoples that migrated to Britain after its Roman occupiers left. English is the most spoken language in the world, primarily due to the global influences of the former British Empire (succeeded by the Commonwealth of Nations) and the United States. English is the third-most spoken native language, after Mandarin Chinese and Spanish; it is also the most widely learned second language in the world, with more second-language speakers than native speakers. English is either the official language or one of the official languages in 57 sovereign states and 30 dependent territories, making it the most geographically widespread language in the world. In the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, it is the dominant language for historical reasons without being explicitly ...

The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons
''The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons'' is the sixth studio album by Swedish rock band The Hives, released on 11 August 2023 through the band's Disques Hives label. The album marks the first studio release in over 11 years, since 2012's ''Lex Hives'', marking the longest gap between two Hives albums. Background The album was recorded in a studio owned by ABBA member Benny Anderson in Stockholm. Announced on 2 May 2023, the day also saw the release of the first single "Bogus Operandi". The trademark "suave sound" fizzling with "wild energy" of the song was seen as setting the tone for the whole project. According to ''Rolling Stone'', the album is a "a collection of 12 high-energy punk-ish songs reminiscent of their best work from the early 2000s". Lead singer Pelle Almqvist reflected on the intention of the record, saying, "Rock'n'roll can't grow up, it is a perpetual teenager and this album feels exactly like that". According to a press release, the "macabre title" hints at the extende ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Black And White Album
''The Black and White Album'' is the fourth studio album by Swedish rock band the Hives, released on 8 October 2007 through A&M/Octone and Polydor Records. The Hives recorded 20 to 30 songs (including seven recorded with producers the Neptunes) for this album from which they finally chose the best. Other tracks were produced by Jacknife Lee and Dennis Herring. Sessions were held with Timbaland, with whom the band produced the song " Throw It On Me", but took place too late for any of the resulting tracks to be on the album. They hoped to use these songs as B-sides. It is the band's longest album and the only one over the length of 32 minutes. Background The band revealed in an ''NME'' interview that one song, "Puppet on a String", has just "piano and hand claps". The song "A Stroll Through Hive Manor Corridors" is an instrumental using just a 1960s organ and a drum machine. "Well All Right!" and "T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S." were produced by Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes, and "Try I ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
