ac College for ALL Act presented by Senator Bernie Sanders on May 19 2015 By www.cpa-connecticut.com Published On :: Wed, 20 May 2015 03:27:56 +0000 Read the text of Senator Bernie Sanders bill to make college tuition free for students and to be financed by a tax on Wall Street speculation. WASHINGTON, May 19 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today introduced legislation to make 4-year public colleges and universities tuition free. “We live in a highly competitive global economy. If our economy is to be strong, we need the best educated work force in the world. That will not happen if every year hundreds of thousands of bright young people cannot afford to go to college and if millions more leave school deeply in debt,” Sanders said. Under the legislation, $70 billion a year in assistance – two-thirds from the federal government and one-third from states – would replace what public colleges and universities now charge in tuition and fees. The federal share of the cost would be offset by imposing a tax on Wall Street transactions by investment houses, hedge funds and other speculators. The legislation also would overhaul student loan programs so students and their parents could reduce crushing debt loads which now exceed Americans’ credit card debt. Federal profits on loans would be eliminated, work-study programs expanded and incentives offered for colleges and universities to keep costs down. “We once led the world in the percentage of our people with a college degree, now we are in 12th place.” Sanders said. “Countries like Germany, Denmark, Sweden and many more are providing free or inexpensive higher education for their young people. They understand how important it is to be investing in their youth. We should be doing the same,” he added. Tuition at 4-year public colleges and universities rose by 50 percent in the United States during the past decade. As state governments have cut support for higher education, the burden has shifted to students and their parents. With this spring’s college commencement season underway, the class of 2015 is the most indebted class in American history, according to Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of Edvisors, a website on college costs and financial aid.

ac desert tracks #7 By www.chromasia.com Published On :: 2016-05-02T08:17:27+00:00 Before I visited the desert near Dubai for the first time I had a rather romanticised idea about what I might find: rolling dunes, crystal clear skies, and maybe a camel or two. More than anything though, I expected a clean and pristine environment. That wasn't the case: there were motorcycle and dune buggy tracks all over the place - it looked like a carpark after a busy day, albeit a very sandy one. But every disappointment is its own opportunity and since that trip I've made a point of photographing the tracks in the sand whenever I see them. This particular set was shot in November 2013 during my Landscape Photography workshop for Gulf Photo Plus. Full Article

Может, раньше выйдет какой-то сингл — как раз летом. Мы также обсуждали, что позднее сентября всё не выйдет. Но всё может поменяться. Не цитируйте меня и всё такое.

ac Tony Iommi не против концертов BLACK SABBATH By www.darkside.ru Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 06:55:07 GMT В новом интервью с SiriusXM "Trunk Nation" у легендарного гитариста Tony Iommi спросили, доволен ли он тем, как прошёл прощальный тур BLACK SABBATH "The End", на что он ответил: «Было здорово иметь возможность отправиться в последний тур. Честно говоря, я чувствовал себя неважно [из-за] этого, потому что в основном это был мой выбор, моя вина, потому что турне для меня в некоторой степени было в физическом плане не самой лучшей идеей. Я имею в виду, что приходилось возвращаться в часа утра после концерта — ты отыграл концерт, а потом летишь обратно в отель — это было много возвращений поздними ночами. Я находился в таких же условиях, как когда мне было 20. Несмотря на то, что мы путешествовали [на] лучших [условиях] — у нас был собственный самолет, у нас были потрясающие отели, и нас разместили в Нью-Йорке или Лос-Анджелесе на 10 дней, или где-то ещё, это было вот так. Выходили из отеля, летели на самолёте, давали концерт, возвращались, но к тому времени, как мы заканчивали, возвращались в отель и ложились спать, уже было три-четыре часа. А для меня это было трудно, и мой доктор сказал мне попробовать немного успокоиться. И в то время это казалось правильным. Особенно после всего, что случилось с Ронни [Джеймсом Дио], мне очень понравился тот период [с HEAVEN & HELL], когда мы были снова с Дио, мы очень сблизились с этой группой, и это была отличная группа. А потом мы решили заново собрать SABBATH с Ozz'ом [Ozzy Osbourne'ом], и это было круто для завершения карьеры. Но я думаю, что если бы Ронни был жив, я бы, наверное, делал что-нибудь с ним сейчас». Iommi также ответил на вопрос, возможны ли разовые выступления группы: «Думаю, это было бы неплохо, ну если мы сможем это сделать. Сложность в том, по крайней мере с SABBATH, что это всё серьёзное предприятие, ты не можешь просто взять и отыграть, так как нужны техники, полная линейка оборудования и всё такое. И это должен быть год или полтора тура... Я не против чего-то такого, я просто хотел бы всё сделать иначе». #Black_Sabbath #BlackSabbath #HardRock #Hard_Rock #HeavyMetal #Heavy_Metal Full Article
ac ACCEPT почти завершили запись «тяжёлого и мрачного» альбома By www.darkside.ru Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 07:35:39 GMT В рамках беседы с "Rock On The Rise" вокалист ACCEPT Mark Tornillo рассказал о прогрессе в работе над новым альбомом: «Когда эта тема с вирусом только началась, я ездил несколько раз в Нэшвилл — пару раз-то точно — чтобы поработать с Wolf'ом [Hoffmann'ом, гитаристом]. И когда узнал, что тур JUDAS PRIEST отменён, у Andy [Sneap'а, известного продюсера, играющего в JUDAS PRIEST] появилось свободное время, поэтому он тоже поехал в Нэшвилл. Так что я тоже туда вернулся, и мы близки, чёрт возьми, к записи альбома!» На вопрос о том, сколько готово материала, Mark ответил: «У нас есть девять песен. Но они ещё не полные... Мы сочиняем, я бы сказал, что планируем сделать песен 15 или 16, так что вот тогда и будем готовы к записи. На каких-то сделан ритм, где-то что-то ещё, но я не записывал вокал. И кое-что уже может быть полностью готово и, быть может, в настоящий момент Andy занят сведением. Пока в обсуждениях вариант выпуска сингла летом, а альбома — к Рождеству, если это будет возможно. Посмотрим, как пойдёт». О том, каково направление нового материала, Tornillo сказал: «О, тут будет знатная удивляющая хренотень, да... Они сейчас как мои дети, поэтому я могу всем только гордиться. Но посмотрим, как оно всё получится. Посмотрим, во что это всё вырастет... Тут будет самый разный материал — тяжёлый и мрачный». Предстоящий альбом ACCEPT ознаменует собой первый релиз группы без основателя — басиста Peter'а Baltes'а, который покинул группу в ноябре 2018 года. Его заменил Martin Motnik. Говоря об уходе Baltes'а из ACCEPT, Tornillo рассказал ведущему "Rock On The Rise" Justin'у Smulison'у следующее: «Мы, можно сказать, знали, что так произойдёт. Он был недоволен, скажу я вам, пару лет — с "Blind Rage" [2014]. И на самом деле никто не мог понять, почему это и что происходит. Мы гастролировали, и он держался подальше от всех. Это было немного странно. Так что у нас было некое ощущение, что что-то случится. Я думаю, он, Wolf и Gaby [Hoffmann, давний менеджер ACCEPT и жена Wolf'а] могли на самом деле обсуждать всё это в то время, но никто не ожидал, что такое случится. Мы ослепли. Это первый [альбом] без его игры на басу, и это также первый альбом без него как сочинителя. Так что бремя всего этого в значительной степени ложится на нас с Wolf'ом, мы будем полагаться на помощь других парней. А Gaby (также известная на протяжении 80-х по загадочному псевдониму "Deaffy") до сих пор иногда вставляет свои два цента, что она и делает. На данный момент я пишу все тексты, но я всё ещё полагаюсь на неё по поводу некоторых лирических идей, и она никогда не разочаровывает». #Accept #HeavyMetal #Heavy_Metal Full Article
ac Барабанщик METALLICA: «RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE всё более и более актуальны» By www.darkside.ru Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 13:18:43 GMT В рамках интервью для Rolling Stone барабанщик METALLICA Lars Ulrich ответил на вопрос о том, какая музыка его зацепила за последнее время: «Я бы назвал Fiona Apple — её пластинка ["Fetch the Bolt Cutters"] просто сногсшибательна. В тот день, когда альбом только вышел, я его слушал часа три-четыре подряд и читал тексты. Честно говоря, я был поражён тем, насколько это необычно и гениально, потому что это так нестандартно. Каждые несколько лет выходит пластинка с другим звучанием. Я думаю, что последние ARCTIC MONKEYS, выпущенные года два назад ["Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino"], также имели схожий эффект, когда ты получаешь совсем не то, что ожидаешь, потом слушаешь это и просто говоришь: "Вау, это всё ещё возможно — сделать что-то музыкальное и не так, как у всех, ты ощущаешь уникальность, свежесть и неожиданность". Так что я бы сказал, что альбом Fiona Apple определённо из этой категории. Мне также нравится альбом Ed'a O'Brien'а. И его выступление на "Kimmel" — мы смотрели его достаточно часто. В остальном, я думаю, вы заметили, что я больше обращаюсь ко многим своим старым друзьям [в музыкальном плане]. Пожалуй, музыка, которую я слушал больше всего за последние два-три месяца, — это RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE. Неужели я единственный, кто думает, что их музыка с каждым днём становится всё более и более актуальной? Она всё больше и больше ассоциируется с тем, что происходит в мире. Просто такое ощущение, что все четыре этих альбома были записаны на прошлой неделе. И когда я делаю свои жалкие слабенькие упражнения, надеваю наушники и начинаю заниматься, я выдаю что-то типа: "Охренеть", когда просто слышу что-то в "Calm Like A Bomb", "Sleep Now In The Fire" или "Bombtrack", и думаю: "Не, ну правда, что ли? Какого хрена? Откуда это вообще взялось?" Так что RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE никогда не подведут!» Ulrich также рассказал, что слушают члены его семьи: «В доме довольно часто можно услышать Radiohead. Radiohead начали делать что-то вроде того, что делает Metallica, — они транслируют концерты, так что у нас дом фанатов Radiohead». На вопрос о том, чем он заполняет своё время в период самоизоляции, Lars ответил: «Я пытаюсь оставаться здоровым и здравомыслящим и быть как можно более продуктивным. Я пытаюсь быть более физически активным, чем несколько месяцев назад, занимаясь тренировками и играя, вместо того, чтобы валяться на диване. Это помогает чувствовать себя лучше в психологическом плане». #Metallica #ModernRock #Modern_Rock #AvantgardeRock #Avantgarde_Rock #HeavyMetal #Heavy_Metal #SymphonicMetal #Symphonic_Metal #ThrashMetal #Thrash_Metal Full Article
