  • CHAPTER 3 Hong Kong Music Ecosphere

    CHAPTER 3 Hong Kong Music Ecosphere

    Abstract The people of Hong Kong experienced their deepest sense of insecurity and anxiety after the handover of sovereignty to Beijing. Time and again, the incapacity and lack of credibility of the SAR government has been manifested in various new policies or incidents. Hong Kong people’s anger and discontent with the government have reached to the peak. On July 1, 2003, the sixth anniversary of the hand-over of Hong Kong to China, 500,000 demonstrators poured through the streets of Hong Kong to voice their concerns over the proposed legislation of Article 23 and their dissatisfaction to the SAR government. And the studies of politics and social movement are still dominated by accounts of open confrontations in the form of large scale and organized rebellions and protests. If we shift our focus on the terrain of everyday life, we can find that the youth voice out their discontents by different ways, such as various kinds of media. This research aims to fill the gap and explore the relationship between popular culture and politics of the youth in Hong Kong after 1997 by using one of the local bands KingLyChee as a case study. Politically, it aims at discovering the hidden voices of the youth and argues that the youth are not seen as passive victims of structural factors such as education system, market and family. Rather they are active and strategic actors who are capable of negotiating with and responding to the social change of Hong Kong society via employing popular culture like music by which the youth obtain their pleasure of producing their own meanings of social experience and the pleasure of avoiding the social discipline of the power-bloc.

    A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’S Historical Membership Patterns

    A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns BY Matthew Finn Hubbard Submitted to the graduate degree program in Geography and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert ____________________________ Dr. Terry Slocum ____________________________ Dr. Xingong Li Date Defended: 11/22/2016 The Thesis committee for Matthew Finn Hubbard Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert Date approved: (12/07/2016) ii Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine the historical membership patterns of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) on a regional and council scale. Using Annual Report data, maps were created to show membership patterns within the BSA’s 12 regions, and over 300 councils when available. The examination of maps reveals the membership impacts of internal and external policy changes upon the Boy Scouts of America. The maps also show how American cultural shifts have impacted the BSA. After reviewing this thesis, the reader should have a greater understanding of the creation, growth, dispersion, and eventual decline in membership of the Boy Scouts of America. Due to the popularity of the organization, and its long history, the reader may also glean some information about American culture in the 20th century as viewed through the lens of the BSA’s rise and fall in popularity. iii Table of Contents Author’s Preface ................................................................................................................pg.

  • Fee Increase FAQ

    Fee Increase FAQ

    Fee Increase FAQ Q: Why are the fees increasing now? A: The Boy Scouts of America has kept the annual membership fee as low as possible for many years by subsidizing core costs. We did this in order to make Scouting available to as many young people as possible. Meanwhile, costs have increased every year, including costs for liability insurance which we must carry to cover all official Scouting activities. As the organization’s financial situation has shifted over the past several months, it is no longer possible to subsidize at the level we have in the past, especially as the cost of insurance has increased dramatically. Q: Does this apply to youth members and volunteers? A: Yes, the new fees apply for youth and adult members. Effective January 1, 2020, the new fees are: - $60 for youth members in Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing and Sea Scouts, - $36 for youth members in Exploring, and - $36 for adult members (includes cost of background check and Scouting Magazine) - $60 for unit charter fees Q: Is Scouting still a good value? A: Absolutely! While most extracurricular activities are seasonal, Scouting is a year-round program that remains one of the most valuable investments we can make to support young men and women today so they can become the leaders we will turn to tomorrow. For most of our youth members, the new registration fee amounts to $5 a month. This is a tremendous value when you consider that many seasonal extracurricular activities often start at $100 for programs that last a few weeks.

They were vibrant and diverse gateways that provided shelter, jobs and support to the community. Honoring Senior Citizens 11 (Chinese version) The Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF) studied Chinatowns in the cities of Boston, New York and Philadelphia. They spent a year recording block by block by lot the existing land uses in Boston, New York and Philadelphia's’ Chinatown and sur- rounding immigrant areas, looking at the residential, restaurants and businesses. What they discovered is that the shrinking of the areas’ Chinatown are multi-faceted. Rising land prices has contributed to the gentrification and expan- sion of luxury buildings and upscale businesses encroaching into the Chinatowns. An example is when the New York City Council, despite protests from the Chinese community and businesses, approved the city’s third largest rezoning plan in 2008. Independent analysis by urban planners concluded that it would push luxury development into Chinatown and disproportionately impact the low income and immigrant communities.
