However, limited agricultural activity was allowed in the Civilian Control Zone (CCZ) surrounding the DMZ. In this study, land cover and vegetation changes in the western DMZ and CCZ from 1919 to 2017 were investigated. Coniferous forests were nearly completely destroyed during the war and were then converted to deciduous forests by ecological succession. Plains in the DMZ and CCZ areas showed different patterns of land cover changes. In the DMZ, pre-war rice paddies were gradually transformed into grasslands. These grasslands have not returned to forest, and this may be explained by wildfires set for military purposes or hydrological fluctuations in floodplains. Grasslands near the floodplains in the DMZ are highly valued for conservation as a rare land type. Most grasslands in the CCZ were converted back to rice paddies, consistent with their previous use. After the 1990s, ginseng cultivation in the CCZ increased. In addition, the landscape changes in the Korean DMZ and CCZ were affected by political circumstances between South and North Citation: Kim, J.H.; Park, S.; Kim, Korea.

  • My Generation
    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 01805 - 060347 90476 [email protected] “Hope I die before I get old…” The Who – My Generation Das Frontcover von My Generation, dem Debütalbum von The Who, steht für eine ganz Ära, genauso wie die Musik darauf. Auf dem Foto trägt John Entwistle lässig eine Jacke über der Schulter, die aus einem Union Jack gefertigt wurde. Heutzutage findet man dieses Symbol auf Kaffeetassen, Kissenbezügen, T-Shirts und diversen anderen Kleidungsstücken. Aber im Dezember 1965, als My Generation herauskam, weigerten sich die meisten Schneider auf der Savile Row, den Union Jack in eine Jacke umzunähen. “Sie dachten, sie kämen dafür ins Gefängnis”, erzählte Roger Daltrey. Die abweisende Attitüde von The Who und die dreiste Verwendung der Nationalflagge waren die beste Werbung für My Generation, die man sich vorstellen konnte. Das Album klingt, wie es aussieht: kurz angebunden, auf Konfrontation aus und voller jungendlichem Zorn und Energie. Da überrascht es kaum, dass der Entstehungsprozess von Konflikten durchzogen war. My Generation war das Ergebnis eines mentalen Armdrückens – zwischen mutigen, neuen Ideen und Popmusiktradition. Als die Platte endlich in die Läden kam, war der Union Jack der Band zerrissen und blutverschmiert – als hätte er zwei Weltkriege mitgemacht. Das Album wurde von Shel Talmy produziert und die Erstveröffentlichung in Großbritannien im Dezember 1965 lief über Brunswick Records. In den USA kam es im April 1966 mit dem Titel ‘The Who Sings My Generation’ heraus. Auf der britischen Version findet sich das legendäre, von Decca Records Fotograf David Wedgbury in den Surrey Docks im Südosten London gemachte Foto, auf dem die vier Musiker alle in die über ihnen befindliche Linse schauen – eine Pose, die auch Jahre später noch von vielen Bands kopiert wurde.

  • MUSIC 262: Art/Prog Rock [Brian Ward Demonstrates a Tune on Piano
    MUSIC 262: Art/Prog Rock [Brian Ward demonstrates a tune on piano] [Brian Ward]: So around this time in rock and roll we really start to see a lot of fragmentation going on, and that’s reflected in this course. The way we have this designed is so that we can go in different directions with the music, and that’s what the music did all sort of at the same time. One of the directions is what we now call art rock and also progressive rock. Now art rock and progressive rock are terms that are used loosely. A good way to describe it is art rock is rock and roll that is influenced by classical music while progressive rock is more influenced by jazz, so- but you have different elements in varying degrees of influence and in different ways. A good illustration of that is one of the first bands that I want to talk about is The Who. Now The Who were definitely a straight down the line rock and roll band, and they started like a lot of these other British bands: imitating the blues and rhythm and blues music from the United States, but The Who were very unique. They had probably the most four individualized members of any band of all time. All four members of the band, Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon, were all very, very different people coming from different backgrounds, and that reflected in their music, and they used that to their advantage quite a bit. But with The Who I think rock star first becoming an art form in the sense that they had longer forms and they used many structures that eventually became mini-operas and they eventually made a rock opera called “Tommy.” Now when they started out they were more on the cutting edge of hard rock.

  • The Trump-Russia Collusion Case
    The Trump-Russia Collusion Case Updated to August 2020 Source: http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/trumptraitor.html For those who have been following this page for a while: my main target is not Trump, my target is Putin. Putin, not Trump, is the most dangerous person in the world. Trump is just a lackey, a small-time crook and bit-time liar whom Putin is using to attack the USA. The problem is not that there is no evidence of Trump-Putin collusion, the problem is that there is too much of it. I have added some background about the motive of Russia's interference in US politics. In my opinion, it was not only a general attempt at undermining US institutions (that came later) but originally it was a determined effort to make sure that Hillary Clinton did not become president. Putin feared her more than anyone else. For those who have NOT followed this page from the beginning: this website was one of the first to talk about the Trump-Russia collusion at a time when few dared mention the Steele dossier. Just to be very clear: this is not about whether Russia's interference changed the results of the election (i personally think that the FBI investigation into Clinton's email server had a much bigger impact). It is about Putin's strategy to attack the USA, and, secondly, it is about the extent of Trump's collaboration with Putin. And, just to be fair, Putin's Russia is not the only country that ever interfered in US politics.

  • Annualreport 1617 FULL.Pdf
    ANNUAL REPORT – INTRODUCTION Dear Bruins, Our department enjoyed an exciting and memorable year both on and off the field of competition in 2016- 17. Ten of our athletic teams finished among the Top 10, nationally. Of even greater significance, 126 of our student-athletes earned their degrees from this university in June and officially embarked upon the next chapter of their lives. Throughout the 2016-17 academic year, student- athletes earned Director’s Honor Roll accolades (3.0 GPA or higher) more than 980 times. In addition, our Graduation Success Rate (GSR) and Academic Progress Report (APR) numbers remained high across the board and among the best in the nation. UCLA’s overall GSR of 86% stands two percentage points higher than the national average of 84%. Our football team compiled the second-highest GSR among Pac-12 schools with 88% (the national average for FBS schools is 74%). In addition, six of our teams – men’s water polo, women’s basketball, women’s golf, softball, women’s tennis and women’s volleyball – had a GSR of 100 percent. Sixteen of our 20 sports programs had a GSR of 80 percent or higher. I’ve said it before and I’ll say As a department, we always pride ourselves on team practice facilities for our football, men’s basketball it again – our student-athletes not only meet these accomplishments, but it’s absolutely worth noting and women’s basketball teams, and I know that the expectations, but they almost always exceed them. It’s several outstanding individual efforts by our hard- coaches and student-athletes of these teams are a testament to their work ethic and to the support they working student-athletes.
