    A Full List of Signatures Is Here

    IAVA Recipient: Secretary Mattis Letter: Greetings, First, thank you for your service and sacrifice and for your incredible leadership that so many in the military and veteran community have experienced and respect. As you know, more than 1.5 million veterans have have educated themselves with the Post-9/11 GI Bill, and almost 70% of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) members have used or transferred this benefit to a dependent. It could very well be the most transformative federal benefit created. The new restriction on Post-9/11 GI Bill transferability to only those with less than 16 years of service is a completely unnecessary reduction of this critical benefit, and it will ultimately hurt our military recruitment and readiness. In a time of war, it remains enormously important to recruit and retain qualified servicemembers, especially with an ever-decreasing pool of eligible recruits. For years, IAVA has been at the forefront of this fight. We led the effort to establish this benefit in 2008 and we have successfully defended it in recent years. We cannot allow our GI Bill to be dismantled or abused. This is why I am standing with my fellow IAVA members to respectfully request that you reverse this counterproductive policy change that creates barriers to access to these transformative benefits. The GI Bill has been earned by millions of men and women on the battlefield and around the world and it should not be subjected to arbitrary restrictions that limit its use. Again, thank you for your leadership and I ask that you take action now to reverse this decision.

  • About Yacht Rock Revue

    About Yacht Rock Revue

    *•«•Æµ‰úÕ«ú•⁄‰ *•«•Æµ‰µ«Ø³ *•«•Æµ‰µ«Ø³ About Yacht Rock Revue: This top-notch group of musicians has already rocked onstage with John Oates, Eddie Money (RIP), and both versions of the band Player. They’ve trademarked the term “yacht rock,” both metaphorically and literally (U.S. Registration Number 3834195). From humble beginnings in a basement, touring in partnership with Live Nation and Sirius XM, they now headline sold-out shows across the country, from Webster Hall in New York to the Wiltern in L.A. While rising from bars to amphitheaters, they’ve ticked every box on the Rock Star Accomplishments bingo card. Except for one: Writing and singing their own songs. Yacht Rock Revue’s first original record is ten songs inspired by the smoooooth sounds of the Seventies and Eighties. They’ve brazenly titled it Hot Dads In Tight Jeans – forgive them for bragging, but that’s what they are – and it returns Yacht Rock Revue to their roots in original music. And now they are coming to Columbia, SC to perform their top notch concert at the Township Auditorium as a benefit for Camp Cole and the Win Anyway Concert. About Camp Cole Inspired by the memory of Cole Sawyer, an 11-year-old boy from Columbia who lost his battle to cancer in 2004, Camp Cole will be a camp and retreat center for children, teens, and adults with disabilities, illnesses, and life challemges. Camp Cole is on its way to becoming a place of inspiration, encouragement, friendship and support to thousands of children and adults in South Carolina.

    Ganz Anders Schreien«

    # 2019/22 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2019/22/ganz-anders-schreien Von Spar: Under Pressure« »Ganz anders schreien« Interview Von Steffen Greiner Angefangen haben Von Spar mit Disco-Punk-Parolen. Die Band entwickelte danach einen Sound, der geprägt ist von krautiger Pop-Verspieltheit. Bassist Christopher Marquez empfängt zum Gespräch in seinem Studio im letzten grauen Hinterhof am Kreuzberger Mehringdamm. Es ist merkwürdig, eure neue Platte zu hören, diese krautrockigen, fließenden Popsongs, und dann als Kontrast ein Video aus euren Anfangstagen zu sehen, als ihr mit eurem Debüt »Die uneingeschränkte Freiheit der pri­vaten Initiative« sowas wie Egotronic für Diskursrocker wart. Im Song »Ist das noch populär« von 2004 geht es um die Auflösung von Gender-Rollen – das passt viel besser zur heutigen Diskussion als zur damaligen. Thomas Mahmoud, der damals unser Sänger war, ist immer versiert darin gewesen, Inhalte so zu formulieren, dass sie Teil eines Diskurses werden. Es ist uns immer wichtig gewesen, dass die Aussage für alle vertretbar ist, wenn wir mit Gesang arbeiten. Seit Thomas nicht mehr dabei ist, gilt das eben auch für die Gastbeiträge. Wir würden nicht Helene Fischer fragen, ob sie auf der nächsten Platte mitsingt. Schade eigentlich! Wäre solche Musik denn nicht gerade notwendig? Also, so eine Art massenkompatible Parolenmusik gegen rechten Konsens? Parolen sind ja immer auch eine Vereinfachung. Das so zu drehen, dass es niemand in den falschen Hals bekommt, finde ich schwierig. Kann man das auch so verstehen, dass so eine Herangehensweise zu euch als junge Band gepasst hat, jetzt aber unangemessen wäre? Genau. Ach, schreien ist immer gut und immer wichtig, auch, wenn man fortgeschrittenen Alters ist.

    Exploring the Chinese Metal Scene in Contemporary Chinese Society (1996-2015)

    "THE SCREAMING SUCCESSOR": EXPLORING THE CHINESE METAL SCENE IN CONTEMPORARY CHINESE SOCIETY (1996-2015) Yu Zheng A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2016 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Esther Clinton Kristen Rudisill © 2016 Yu Zheng All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This research project explores the characteristics and the trajectory of metal development in China and examines how various factors have influenced the localization of this music scene. I examine three significant roles – musicians, audiences, and mediators, and focus on the interaction between the localized Chinese metal scene and metal globalization. This thesis project uses multiple methods, including textual analysis, observation, surveys, and in-depth interviews. In this thesis, I illustrate an image of the Chinese metal scene, present the characteristics and the development of metal musicians, fans, and mediators in China, discuss their contributions to scene’s construction, and analyze various internal and external factors that influence the localization of metal in China. After that, I argue that the development and the localization of the metal scene in China goes through three stages, the emerging stage (1988-1996), the underground stage (1997-2005), the indie stage (2006-present), with Chinese characteristics. And, this localized trajectory is influenced by the accessibility of metal resources, the rapid economic growth, urbanization, and the progress of modernization in China, and the overall development of cultural industry and international cultural communication. iv For Yisheng and our unborn baby! v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I would like to show my deepest gratitude to my advisor, Dr.
