These arrangements may either be of a temporary nature or more permanent. Your students and their families may have the option of staying for a longer period of time depending on such things as their ability to pay, as well as their desire to continue living there. Finding adequate housing is perhaps one of the most difficult tasks facing resettlement workers andsponsors. One reason fer this is the shortage of moderately-priced housing units. Another is the relatively high cost of all types of housing units in the U.S. Nevertheless, most recent refugee arrivals are continuing to find accommodations in low-income or public housing units. The following material provides some information thatmay be of use to you in responding to your students' Questions about housing in the U.S. It is written with the assumption that most, if not all, refugees will be renting rather than buying their homes during their initial resettlement period. Types of Homes Though they are often known by different or more specific names, the types of housing available in the U.S. fall into three major categories: Rooms. These are usually single-room units without kitchen or bathroom facilities of their own. Bathrooms are usually communal, that is, shared with persons occupying other rooms nearby. Housing of this sort is usually rented at relatively low rates compared with other kinds of housing. Because they are usually small, rooms are normally rented to one or two individuals and not to larger families. Apartments. The apartment category includes apartments, flats duplexes, townhouses or any other housing units which share one or more walls with adjoining buildings or units. One building may contain as few as two apartment unitsor as many as a hundred. Apartments usually have their own kitchen and bathrooms in addition to one, two, three or more bedrooms. Separate living rooms and dining rooms are common. It is customary in the U.S. for one family to live in (Dm. apartnent. Because apartments may be quite small or very large with several rooms, prices tend to vary greatly. In general, however, apartments are more expensive to rent than rooms, but less expensive to rent than houses. 50 Houses. A house is usually a solitary building with a yard around it. More often than not, it is occupiea by a single family. Sometimes more than one individual or family may choose to live together in-the same house i. oraer to save money: Like apartments, houses may have one or more bedrooms. It is common in'houses to have separate living room and dining room areas in addition to a bathroom and kitchen. Basements and attics are additional areas that are often used for storage. It is generally true that houses are the most expensive sort of housing because of their size and relative privacy. Inside the Home: Rooms 4 Furnishings Most homes, whether apartments or houses-, have different rooms for different purposes--sleeping, cooking, bathing, etc. For each of these rooms there are also common furnishings ana/or appliances. What follows is a look at some of these more common roams and the sorts of furnishings that are normally found within them. Kitchens. The kitchen is the room used for cooking. It usually contains a stove and oven,refrigerator, sink, and storage areas. In addition, there may be a garbage disposal or dishwasher. StoVes and ovens are used for warming or cooking foods. The stove might be described as a group of two or more "burners" or "hot-plates" on which pots or pans containing food are placed. If it is an electria stove, each_burner is controlled by a separate dial which is usually located at the front of the unit. The dial has a variable setting so that the burner may be turned to a low temperature (for warming foods) or to a higher temperature (for boiling or frying) . The ovenis used for baking or broiling foods. An electric oven is controlled by a separate, variable-tempera- ture dial which ranges from warm to very hot for baking, and has a special setting for broiling. When the dial is set for a baking temperature, heat is evenly diffused in the oven. For broiling, however, heat radiates directly from heating coils (usually mounted to the

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE “Sound Come-Unity”: Post-9/11 Brown and the Politics of Intercultural Improvisation A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music by Dhirendra Mikhail Panikker September 2019 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Deborah Wong, Chairperson Dr. Robin D.G. Kelley Dr. René T.A. Lysloff Dr. Liz Przybylski Copyright by Dhirendra Mikhail Panikker 2019 The Dissertation of Dhirendra Mikhail Panikker is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgments Writing can feel like a solitary pursuit. It is a form of intellectual labor that demands individual willpower and sheer mental grit. But like improvisation, it is also a fundamentally social act. Writing this dissertation has been a collaborative process emerging through countless interactions across musical, academic, and familial circles. This work exceeds my role as individual author. It is the creative product of many voices. First and foremost, I want to thank my advisor, Professor Deborah Wong. I can’t possibly express how much she has done for me. Deborah has helped deepen my critical and ethnographic chops through thoughtful guidance and collaborative study. She models the kind of engaged and political work we all should be doing as scholars. But it all of the unseen moments of selfless labor that defines her commitment as a mentor: countless letters of recommendations, conference paper coachings, last minute grant reminders. Deborah’s voice can be found across every page. I am indebted to the musicians without whom my dissertation would not be possible. Priya Gopal, Vijay Iyer, Amir ElSaffar, and Hafez Modirzadeh gave so much of their time and energy to this project.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Columbia University Academic Commons Improving Bus Service in New York A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Architecture and Planning COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment Of the requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Urban Planning By Charles Romanow May 2018 Abstract New York City’s transportation system is in a state of disarray. City street are clogged with taxi’s and for-hire vehicles, subway platforms are packed with straphangers waiting for delayed trains and buses barely travel faster than pedestrians. The bureaucracy of City and State government in the region causes piecemeal improvements which do not keep up with the state of disrepair. Bus service is particularly poor, moving at rates incomparable with the rest of the country. New York has recently made successful efforts at improving bus speeds, but only so much can be done amidst a city of gridlock. Bus systems around the world faced similar challenges and successfully implemented improvements. A toolbox of near-immediate and long- term options are at New York’s disposal dealing directly with bus service as well indirect causes of poor bus service. The failing subway system has prompted public discussion concerning bus service. A significant cause of poor service in New York is congestion. A number of measures are capable of improving congestion and consequently, bus service. Due to the city’s limited capacity at implementing short-term solutions, the most highly problematic routes should receive priority. Routes with slow speeds, high rates of bunching and high ridership are concentrated in Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn which also cater to the most subway riders.

  • 1 This Isn't Paradise, This Is Hell: Discourse, Performance and Identity in the Hawai'i Metal Scene a Dissertation Submitte
    1 THIS ISN’T PARADISE, THIS IS HELL: DISCOURSE, PERFORMANCE AND IDENTITY IN THE HAWAI‘I METAL SCENE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN AMERICAN STUDIES DECEMBER 2012 By Benjamin Hedge Olson Dissertation Committee: Kathleen Sands, Chairperson David E. Stannard Vernadette Gonzalez Roderick Labrador Helen J. Baroni Keywords: metal, popular music, popular culture, religion, subculture, Hawai‘i 2 Abstract The island of Oahu is home to probably the most ethnically diverse metal scene in the United States. Contemporary Hawai`i prides itself on being a “model of multiculturalism” free of the racism and ethnic strife that is endemic to the continent; however, beneath this superficial openness and tolerance exist deeply felt class, ethnic, and racial tensions. The metal scene in Hawai`i experiences these conflicting impulses towards inclusion and exclusion as profoundly as any other aspect of contemporary Hawaiian culture, but there is a persistent hope within the metal scene that subcultural identity can triumph over such tensions. Complicating this process is the presence of white military personnel, primarily born and raised on the continental United States, whose cultural attitudes, performances of masculinity, and conception of metal culture differ greatly from that of local metalheads. The misunderstandings, hostilities, bids for subcultural capital, and attempted bridge-building that take place between metalheads in Hawai‘i constitute a subculturally specific attempt to address anxieties concerning the presence of the military, the history of race and racism in Hawai`i, and the complicated, often conflicting desires for both openness and exclusivity that exist within local culture.

The three performances that I examine are: George M. Cohan’s production of Little Johnny ii Jones (1904), Eleanor Powell’s “Tribute to Bill Robinson” in Honolulu (1939), and Terry- Toons’ cartoon, “The Dancing Shoes” (1949). These performances share an obvious move away from the use of blackface makeup within a minstrel context, and a move towards the masked enjoyment in “black culture” as it contributes to the development of a uniquely American form of entertainment. In bringing these three disparate performances into dialogue I illuminate the many ways in which American entertainment has been built upon an Africanist aesthetic at the same time it has generally disparaged the black body.

    Global invasive plants in Thailand and its status and a case study of Hydrocotyle umbellata L. Siriporn Zungsontiporn Weed Science Group, Plant Protection Research and Development Office, Department of Agriculture, Bangkok, Thailand 10900 Email: [email protected] Summary Global invasive plant may invade in some countries, but it is not invasive plant in its native country or in range of distribution. Those plants are utilized in some means, such as vegetable, fruit, ornamental plant or medicinal plant in it native country or even it was invasive plant but people learned how to manage with that plant, they can utilize it. On the contrary way, an invasive plant of any country may not be invasive in any country else. Most of the invasive plants are intentionally introduced to a country for some purpose especially for ornamental plant. Hydrocotyle umbrellata L. was introduced to Thailand as ornamental plant, the plant can grow well and with some habit of invasive plant of this plant, nowadays the plant was found in many natural areas as weed. Introduction Most of invasive plant in an area is alien plant which was introduced from different habitat within a country or other country across geographic barrier. Well development of transportation stimulates traveling and international trading which cause of increasing introduction of alien species. Some of introduced alien plants can establish and spread out if it can adapt itself to survive in the new habitat well. If the environment of new habitat is suitable for it growth, the plant may express it invasiveness and compete for space and nutrient with native plant which it may complete over native plants due to lack of it natural enemy in new habitat.
