(WESTON): Mr. Sean P. Combs, LEED AP BD+C Senior Project Leader Or Mr. James Ricker, P.O. Program Manager ARTICLE 7- WORK SCOPE PART 1 SITE STATUS A brief regulatoiy and historical summary ofthe project and project site is as follows: Gasoline-related volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were historically released to the subsurface at the Lee Circle Mobil property in Lee, New Hampshire. To address this release, groundwater monitoring has been conducted under the Groundwater Management Permit (GWP-199203034- L-003) where Global Montello Group Corp. conducts the groundwater monitoring and sampling wells of all required monitoring wells, and OR] conducts sampling of all affected water supply and associated FOEs. This sampling regime continues through today. In 2003, the Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) requested that OR] complete a subsurface investigation in the vicinity of the former underground storage tanks (USTs)/pump island and existing USTs/pump island, respectively. The investigations indicated that elevated petroleum VOCs remain in the soil primarily in the vicinity of the former pump island and USTs, including an area beneath the existing pump island. Based on the data presented in the January 9, 2003 Soil Contamination Report prepared by ThE Northeast, Inc. and the January 26, 2003 Site Investigation Report prepared by. Groundwater and Environmental Services, Inc., an estimated 6,000 tons of petroleum impacted soil remain on-site. Although potable water supply options were assessed by OR] and NHDES between 2005 and 2010, source area removal has been determined to be the more favorable and cost effective remedial approach for this site. NHDES believes that soil excavation will help address the on-site contamination and eventually the off-site water supply contamination. Following discussions between WESTON, OR] and NHDES personnel, WESTON will conduct pre-remedial activities, and oversee and document remedial activities at the Lee Circle Mobil Site. 11 March 2011 G:WROPO$ALhGOVfl2Di IWHC3ESILSC Mobd¼ORI Agreement 201 l4oc 2 PART 2 GENERAL APPROACH WESTON will conductJimplement all pre-remedial activities in accordance with the Work Scopes submitted by WESTON on 25 January and 25 Februaiy 2011.

  • Thesis, the Songs of 10 Rappers Were Analyzed
    ABSTRACT Get Rich or Die Tryin’: A Semiotic Approach to the Construct of Wealth in Rap Music Kristine Ann Davis, M.A. Mentor: Sara J. Stone, Ph.D. For the past 30 years, rap music has made its way into the mainstream of America, taking an increasingly prominent place in popular culture, particularly for youth, its main consumers. This thesis looks at wealth through the lens of semiotics, an important component of critical/cultural theory, using a hermeneutical analysis of 11 rap songs, spanning the last decade of rap music to find signification and representation of wealth in the rap song lyrics. The research finds three important themes of wealth - relationship between wealth and the opposite sex, wealth that garners respect from other people, and wealth as a signifier for “living the good life” - and five signifiers of wealth – money, cars, attire, liquor, and bling.

Although its gender and race relations have historically been problematic, they have recently transformed in particular ways. This study examines the forty-one best-selling rap videos of 2007– 2008. Through a qualitative content analysis of videos and lyrics several themes emerged. Hip-hop’s focus on conspicuous consumption, buttressed by the success of entrepreneurial rap moguls, has merged with strip club culture to create a new gender relation based on sexual transaction.

  • Sean Combs Re-Enters Fragrance by Marcy Medina - 03/20/2015
    Diddy’s New Day: Sean Combs Re-enters Fragrance By Marcy Medina - 03/20/2015 Sean “Diddy” Combs wants to hit the “reset” button. After a six-year hiatus from the fragrance business once Estée Lauder Cos. Inc. didn’t renew his license, Combs is back on May 6 with a new fragrance, 3AM, under a new partner, Parlux. He is hoping he can regain relevancy in the category, even as the celebrity fragrance sector appears to be dissolving faster than a test spray in the air. Which is perhaps why Combs doesn’t want it to be called a celebrity fragrance. He views himself as equal parts fashion player, music mogul and pop culture pulse-reader. That may not render him immune to market forces, but he’s aiming to get ahead of the tide by leveraging his established status and playing to Millennials via social media. “I take my hat off to all celebrities who have a fragrance to give people a part of their lifestyle. But for me, it was important to take a break from celebrity persona fragrances, because we were kind of jumbled up with them,” said Combs, whose last launch was in 2009 with I Am King, a follow-up to 2006’s Unforgivable. “We’re a true fashion label and this is something we take very seriously. So to make people miss it, that was my plan.” Speaking to WWD from the downtown Los Angeles set of 3AM’s first commercial shoot, in the penthouse of a pricey residential loft building, Combs has changed out of his custom suit into a black Versace tracksuit to enjoy some fresh air and a coffee outside his trailer, drawing more than a few curious glances from pedestrians.
