  • PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • Phased School Reopening Health and Safety Plan Template
    Phased School Reopening Health and Safety Plan Template Each school entity must create a Health and Safety Plan which will serve as the local guidelines for all instructional and non-instructional school reopening activities. As with all emergency plans, the Health and Safety Plan developed for each school entity should be tailored to the unique needs of each school and should be created in consultation with local health agencies. Given the dynamic nature of the pandemic, each plan should incorporate enough flexibility to adapt to changing conditions. The templates provided in this toolkit can be used to document a school entity’s Health and Safety Plan, with a focus on professional learning and communications, to ensure all stakeholders are fully informed and prepared for a local phased reopening of school facilities. A school entity’s Health and Safety Plan must be approved by its governing body and posted on the school entity’s publicly available website prior to the reopening of school. School entities should also consider whether the adoption of a new policy or the modification of an existing policy is necessary to effectively implement the Health and Safety Plan. Each school entity should continue to monitor its Health and Safety Plan throughout the year and update as needed. All revisions should be reviewed and approved by the governing body prior to posting on the school entity’s public website.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Rocking My Life Away Writing About Music and Other Matters by Anthony Decurtis Rock Critic Lectures on Music
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Rocking My Life Away Writing about Music and Other Matters by Anthony DeCurtis Rock critic lectures on music. 'Rolling Stone' editor Anthony DeCurtis visited Kelly Writers House, but got mixed reviews. By Rebecca Blatt The Daily Pennsylvanian February 22, 2002. Another acclaimed writer visited the Kelly Writers House this week. But this one was not there to discuss poetry or prose -- he was there for rock and roll. On Tuesday afternoon, music critic Anthony DeCurtis spoke to about 25 people in the front room of the Writers House. The crowd included Penn students, professors and local music lovers. DeCurtis is an editor of Rolling Stone magazine, host of an internet music show and the author of Rocking My Life Away: Writing About Music and Other Matters. He won a Grammy Award for his essay accompanying Eric Clapton's Crossroads box set and contributes to many other publications as well. DeCurtis appeared very prepared for the lecture. He took the podium armed with a pad of notes and a pitcher of water. However, some felt that DeCurtis's speech lacked focus. College sophomore Daniel Kaplan was so disappointed with DeCurtis that he left the event early. "He was a writer so pleased with himself and his accomplishments that he seemed to forget that speeches are supposed to be coherent," Kaplan said. Philadelphia resident Hop Wechsler, however, was a little bit more forgiving. "I guess I was expecting more about how he got where he is," Wechsler said. "But what I got was fun for what it was." English Department Chairman David Wallace introduced DeCurtis.

    Larry Sidor Oral History Interview, November 6, 2015 Title “From Olympia to Deschutes to Crux: A Brewer's Life” Date November 6, 2015 Location Valley Library, Oregon State University. Summary In the interview, Sidor discusses his family background and rural upbringing in La Grande, Oregon, commenting on his father's activities as an OSU Extension Agent, his own boyhood interests in mechanical work, and the life histories of his mother and his siblings. From there, Sidor recounts his undergraduate years at Oregon State University, noting his switch in majors from Mechanical Engineering to Food Science, and commenting on the curriculum then available to undergraduates in the Food Science department. Sidor likewise reflects on the research that he conducted while a student and, in particular, his interest in winemaking during that time. From there, Sidor details the circumstances by which he declined a handful of job opportunities in the wine industry, opted instead to travel for a year in Europe, and began considering a career in brewing as a result of his experiences in Germany. He then traces his first connection with the Olympia Brewing Company; outlines his advancement within the company from packing quality control technician, to assistant brewmaster, to operations manager; shares his perspective on the brewing culture then prevalent at Olympia; and speaks of the connections that he made with hop growers in Washington and Oregon. Sidor next provides an overview of his years working at the S.S. Steiner company, shares his memories of the rise of microbreweries in the 1980s and 1990s, and reflects on the relationships that Steiner maintained with agricultural scientists at OSU.

  • HISTORIC DISTRICT ASSESSMENT REPORT 1200 BLOCK 11Th STREET SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA
    HISTORIC DISTRICT ASSESSMENT REPORT 1200 BLOCK 11th STREET SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA Prepared for: City of Santa Monica, City Planning Division 1685 Main Street, Room 212 Santa Monica, CA 90401 Prepared by: Jan Ostashay Principal Ostashay & Associates Consulting PO BOX 542 November 2018 Long Beach, CA 90801 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY BLANK HISTORIC DISTRICT ASSESSMENT REPORT 1200 Block 11th Street Santa Monica, California INTRODUCTION At the request of the City of Santa Monica’s Planning and Community Development Department, Ostashay & Associates Consulting (OAC) has prepared this historic district assessment to determine if a potential historic district exists along the 1200 block of 11th Street based on the historic district application submitted to the City in June 2018 by the Santa Monica Mid City Neighbors (the applicant). The applicant’s proposed historic district is located within the Town of Santa Monica tract. It contains older single-family housing stock dating back to 1905 as well as multi-story apartment houses and contemporary condominiums. OAC evaluated the block and the grouping of properties identified in the applicants report (dated April 2017, Update May 2018) to determine whether it appears to satisfy one or more of the statutory criteria associated with City of Santa Monica Historic District eligibility, pursuant to Chapter 9.56 (Landmarks and Historic Districts Ordinance) of the Santa Monica Municipal Code. Completion of this assessment involved a site visit and documentation of potential resources within the district study area; the collection and review of building permits obtained from the City’s Planning and Community Development; archival research conducted at the Santa Monica Public Library, Los Angeles Public Library, and other relevant repositories; a review of prior survey work of the area; development of applicable historic contexts and themes; and consideration of eligibility under Santa Monica Historic District criteria.

  • Introduction Wayne Bowman, Editor
    Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music Education Electronic Article 1 ________________________________________________________________________________________ Introduction Wayne Bowman, Editor I am pleased to introduce the first ‘regular’ issue of Action, Criticism, & Theory for Music Education it has been my responsibility to edit. I have been extensively involved as Associate Editor since the journal’s inception in 2002, and have had the privilege of working closely with Thomas Regelski as he undertook “from scratch” the immense task of creating a successful new open-access journal for music education. I remember well discussing the ACT idea over breakfast with Tom and with Terry Gates in Helsinki, Finland in Summer of 2000. Darryl Coan had generously indicated both interest and willingness to take on the publication end of things— the design considerations and the numerous challenges associated with web-based publication. And the need for a journal with the editorial orientation being proposed was clear to us. Should we proceed? Obviously, we decided take the leap. To say “the rest is history,” while true, is equally misleading: as is usually the case when this cliché is invoked, considerably more has been involved than the mere passage of time. Thomas Regelski and Darryl Coan worked long and tirelessly to assure the successful launch of ACT, for which, I am sure, readers are grateful. Their (our) efforts would not have been nearly so daunting had there been an infrastructure in place—institutional supports, finances, technical or secretarial support, and the like. But a pivotal concern since ACT’s inception has been its autonomy and independence—its ability to publish critical scholarly work utterly free from institutional constraints or commercial obligations.
