Party

A party is a gathering of people who have been invited by a host for the purposes of socializing, conversation, recreation, or as part of a festival or other commemoration of a special occasion. A party will typically feature food and beverages, and often music and dancing or other forms of entertainment. In many Western countries, parties for teens and adults are associated with drinking alcohol such as beer, wine or distilled spirits.

Description

Some parties are held in honor of a specific person, day, or event, such as a birthday party, a Super Bowl party, or a St. Patrick’s Day party. Parties of this kind are often called celebrations. A party is not necessarily a private occasion. Public parties are sometimes held in restaurants, pubs, beer gardens, nightclubs or bars, and people attending such parties may be charged an admission fee by the host. Large parties in public streets may celebrate events such as Mardi Gras or the signing of a peace treaty ending a long war.

Grand Blanc, Michigan

Grand Blanc is a city in Genesee County in the U.S. state of Michigan and a suburb of Flint. The population was 8,144 as of the 2010 US Census.

History

The unincorporated village of Grand Blanc, or Grumlaw, was a former Indian campground first settled by Jacob Stevens in Spring 1822. The Indian trail to Saginaw was laided out and staked in 1829 as Saginaw Road.

By 1916, the community (population 400) had a grade school, a private bank, flour mill, an elevator, a creamery and two churches, the Methodist Episcopal and the Congregational. The community was equipped with electrical lighting.

A ballot question in the May 2, 2006 Genesee County general election ended governmental research into a plan to consolidate the city and township governments; 68.62% of city voters opposed consolidation efforts whereas 31.38% were in favor.

In 2015, a resident of Grand Blanc and a student of Grand Blanc Community Schools, Shriya Yarlagadda, placed 2nd in the 27th National Geographic Bee. The city is also home to one of the greatest prep distance runners in the nation, Grant Fisher, who was the 7th high school runner to break the 4 minute mile and has won multiple national cross country and track and field championships, and Chuck Forrest, Jeopardy! winner in 1986.

The Kiwi Party

The Kiwi Party was a political party operating in New Zealand between 2007 and 2011. Briefly known as Future New Zealand, it was a breakaway from the United Future New Zealand party and sought to carry on the tradition of Future New Zealand. The party was formed when MP Gordon Copeland left United Future after a dispute over support for the Crimes (Substituted Section 59) Amendment Act 2007. At the 2008 general election, the Kiwi Party was unsuccessful, and was not re-elected to Parliament. It did not contest the 2011 general election under its own banner, but the leaders and other members stood for the Conservative Party.

The party advocated more direct democracy through referenda and a return to the "Judeo-Christian ethic in democracy". On 8 February 2012, it requested that the New Zealand Electoral Commission cancel its registration, which rendered it wholly subsumed into the Conservative Party. On its website, it announced that after holding an executive committee meeting in December 2011, the party had agreed to be 'wound up' and 'bring its existence to an end.'

Move Your Body

"Move Your Body" is a song by Italian group Eiffel 65. It was released as the second single from their album Europop, on 30 November 1999.

Composition and critical reception

"Move Your Body" is a bubblegum techno and disco song played in D minor at a 130 BPM. It has dance-oriented sounds and uses the same pitch-shifter based distortion as the vocals from the previous single, "Blue (Da Ba Dee)". Group member Jeffrey Jay claimed that the song "had tried to recall the original spirit of the dance, understood as a vehicle to bring together and communicate with people."

Entertainment Weekly said in a review of Europop that "Move Your Body" was hard to be called a "timeless masterpiece," but was impossible to hate it. The song was included on SputnikMusic's review of the album as an example of Eiffel 65's poor ability at writing lyrics.Billboard called it a "kitschy electronic number" and commented on "the song's catchy melody, addictive lyrical redundancy, and the familiar computerized voice of the trio's Jeffrey Jey".
