Established in 2007, Peace Corps Prep programs, according to a res- olution passed by ASUH’s general senate, are programs in which stu- dents prepare for potential Peace Corps service through existing cur- riculum. Upon completion of the program, students are awarded a certifi cate from the Peace Corps. Jannah Dela Cruz, vice president of ASUH and introducer of the res- olution, argues that UH has a his- tory of commitment to service and exposing students to international and cultural practices. Her resolution also calls for the Prep program to be partnered with the Spark M. Matsunaga Institute for Peace and Confl ict Resolution. She also argues that by preparing students for Peace Corps service, the program is giving them more post-graduate opporunities.

  • Houston Rapper Kirko Bangz Is Riding a Buzz Right Now Worthy of Attention
    Houston rapper Kirko Bangz is riding a buzz right now worthy of attention. With a DJ Drama hosted mixtape blazing the streets now, Kirko’s been gaining a foothold in the talented Southern rap scene. MTV’s RapFix Representing Houston, Kirko Bangz is one of the most popular young MCs on the 'net. He can harmonize and rap, so it's no surprise that the Drake comparisons are starting to roll in. His single, 'Drank In My Cup,' strengthened his star power and after dropping his most recent mixtape, 'The Progression 2: A Young Texas Playa,' Bangz is not only perfecting his craft but well on his way to etching out his own niche in the hip-hop arena. AOL’s TheBoomBox.com - “Black History Month 2012: 10 New Black Artists” (#5) Kirko Bangz is the type of artist that some people may not truly appreciate until hindsight becomes a factor…there’s something authentic about his style that cannot be ignored…As long as he continues with his progression (no pun intended) and shows that he’s more than radio- friendly, he could get there much sooner than later. AllHipHop.com [Kirko Bangz] has a lyrical smoothness emphasizes originality and a modern sexy appeal. Kirko makes racy selections for the women followed by witty street freestyles embraced by the fellas and getting better by the second at mastering his own identity. HipHopDX.com Kirko Bangz may be known solely for his slow trippy hit of the summer, Drank in My Cup, but with his newest project, Procrastination Kills 4, he promises to prove that he is a true artist and not an "auto-tune singing ass n*gga."

Abu Sa cid's name is , or rather was , usually connecte d wit h th e first examples of Persian mystical poetry. He is the alleged author of a number o f poem s in which the ruba'i, quatrain, with it s rhyme scheme a a x a, is used as a vehicle for mystical thought. We ca n b e quite sure that none of the quatrains formerly attributed t o him are actually his ; according t o hi s ow n statement , his love-intoxicate d teacher Bishr ibn Yasin was the author o f such verses—a genre tha t later became very popular. 20 A true representative of early Sufi poetry in quatrains, thoug h i n a popular meter and vernacular speech, is Baba Tahir, who died i n Khorramabad in the first part of the eleventh century. 21 Abu Sa cid passed away in 1049 .

  • Can You Predict a Hit?
    CAN YOU PREDICT A HIT? FINDING POTENTIAL HIT SONGS THROUGH LAST.FM PREDICTORS BACHELOR THESIS MARVIN SMIT (0720798) DEPARTMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RADBOUD UNIVERSITEIT NIJMEGEN SUPERVISORS: DR. L.G. VUURPIJL DR. F. GROOTJEN Abstract In the field of Music Information Retrieval, studies on Hit Song Science are becoming more and more popular. The concept of predicting whether a song has the potential to become a hit song is an interesting challenge. This paper describes my research on how hit song predictors can be utilized to predict hit songs. Three subject groups of predictors were gathered from the Last.fm service, based on a selection of past hit songs from the record charts. By gathering new data from these predictors and using a term frequency-inversed document frequency algorithm on their listened tracks, I was able to determine which songs had the potential to become a hit song. The results showed that the predictors have a better sense on listening to potential hit songs in comparison to their corresponding control groups.

Mahoney, Ph.D.) Recent empirical epidemiological and behavioral research has indicated that some secondary intervention preventions (e.g., condom use, HIV-disclosure, serosorting, etc.) might not be suitable for all HIV-infected gay and bisexual men, particularly for those who engage in multiple episodes of unprotected anal intercourse (UAI). The purpose of this dissertation was to answer the primary research question: What are the psychological, behavioral and contextual factors associated with HIV-infected men who have sex with men (MSM) who engage in risky sexual behavior? A qualitative descriptive approach was used to conduct a content analysis of 14 in-depth, semi- structured interviews and to provide a description of the lives of MSM who do not consistently use traditional secondary risk behavior strategies (e.g., safer-sex negotiation, condom use, etc.) to reduce HIV transmission among sexual partners, particularly those partners who are HIV-uninfected or whose HIV status is unknown.

  • Flying Forward While Looking Back
    Flying Forward While Looking Back An Autoethnography on the Journey of Recovery from Intimate Partner Violence A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Drexel University by Dalesa C. Scott in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2011 Running head: RECOVERY FROM IPV: AN AUTOETHNOGRAPHY ii Dedication To the guidance counselor for the Bodine high school for International Affairs graduating class of 1997, who told me that in “my situation” I was wasting my time pursuing a psychology degree, since graduate school was not an option for me. I feel motivated every time I think of that day. Running head: RECOVERY FROM IPV: AN AUTOETHNOGRAPHY iii Acknowledgements First and foremost I would like to thank my loving and supportive husband, Michael, without whom this journey would not have been possible. I appreciate the encouragement, faith, understanding, patience and pep talks on those long nights when I thought I couldn’t do it! You always knew the right times to give me sympathy, a harsh talk, a break or a reality check. Most people search their entire lives and never find a partner like you – you are and always will be my best friend and my rock. I truly believe that you were sent to save my life, and I am thankful every day that you did. To my children, Sierra, Tiana and Stacie, who sacrificed some “mommy time” to support the cause, and are a part of the reason for the cause in the first place. I love you all dearly. I hope I can be half to you of what you have been to me.
