My wonderful agent, Carly Watters, will also be in town for the conference, and it will be the first time we've met in person so I'm especially excited.

DJI has a long history of producing outstanding quality drones with some of the best aerial videography systems. With the Phantom 4, DJI is stepping up the drone game even further, blowing its competition off the charts.
The Phantom 4 looks very similar to the previous generations of the Phantom series. It is slightly thinner and lighter thanks to its magnesium skeleton that provides extra agility and improves performance. It isn't a beautiful looking drone, but it covers up in terms of the technology it packs!
DJI says the Phantom 4 is one of the most advanced drones they've made, and that is absolutely true. The Phantom 4 relies on GPS and GLONASS to locate itself on earth, but it also uses the Visual Positioning System to determine its physical location with respect to its surroundings using four optical and two ultrasonic sensors. In addition, it features an obstacle avoidance system that is a first in the Phantom series. This uses two front facing optical sensors paired with the drone's computer to stop the drone from crashing when an object appears in its path.
Now that the drone consists of so many sensors to accurately determine position and avoid obstacles, DJI stepped up the piloting experience with 'TapFly' and 'ActiveTrack'. Like the Phantom 3 Professional, the drone connects to the controller with DJI's Lightbridge Video Downlink, allowing for a 5 km range. This also allows for a live video feed on the iPad or smartphone connected to the controller. TapFly makes controlling the drone child's play - just double tap the location where you want the drone to go to and it will fly there. In ActiveTrack mode, all you do is select the moving object - a person, a car or anything else - that you wish to track and the drone will follow along. In both modes, the drone uses all the sensors to pilot itself. These features make the Phantom 4 a compelling choice for novice pilots and videographers.
The Phantom 4 is a true filmmaker's tool. The 12.4 MP camera can shoot 4K video @ 30 fps. It is stabilised by its own 3-axis gimbal. The camera module is essentially borrowed for the DJI Phantom 3 Professional drone. In terms of picture quality, this drone does an excellent job, as visible in the videos linked below. The drone also features a 'Sport Mode' (in addition to other pre-programmed flying modes) that allows the drone to capture high quality footage at speeds of upto 72 km/h.
DJI promises a 25% increase in flight time with the Phantom 4, from 23 minutes on the Phantom 3 Professional to 28 minutes on this. However, actual flying time is usually lesser, which means spare batteries are a necessity for long duration flights. Sadly though, the batteries itself are very expensive.
As you can tell, there isn't a lot going wrong with this drone. Initial reviews of this drone conclude the same. Casey Neistat, popular YouTube vlogger and filmmaker from New York considers this to be one of the best drones out there - visibly evident in his vlogs. I've linked two of his videos for you to experience the video quality from the Phantom 4.
Coming to the price: $1399. This is just for the drone and the controller, with no spare batteries or a carrying case. Pretty steep? Yes, but when compared to other drones in the market, the Phantom 4 is an excellent choice even at this price point.
I'm looking forward to get my hands on this for a review, so hit me up of you plan to purchase one (or own one already)! Meanwhile, take a look at the outstanding landscape of South Africa filmed using this drone by Casey Neistat.
Keep Technonerding!

News and views on the latest health issues
Publish date: 10/02/2014
If you regularly grab an espresso and sugary muffin as you head to the office, topping up your caffeine and sugar intake throughout the day with sweet energy drinks and trips to the chocolate machine, then you may have a problem.
Sugary junk food and caffeine have been in the news in the past few days; sugar because we're all eating huge amounts of it and new research published in the JAMA Internal Medicine journal revealed that consuming too much on a daily basis may triple your risk of dying from heart disease.
Caffeine has been in the headlines, because experts – including the World Health Organization and the American Psychiatric Association – are now recognising a condition called caffeine overuse disorder.
Can our favourite treats really be as addictive as alcohol or drugs? Are they really bad for you?
Research carried out last year by US researchers at Connecticut College found eating cookies stimulated more neurons in the brain's 'pleasure centre' than exposure to hard drugs such as cocaine.
Professor Joseph Schoeder, associate professor at Connecticut College who led the research on lab rats, said: 'Our research supports the theory that high-fat/ high-sugar foods stimulate the brain in the same way that drugs do. It may explain why some people can't resist these foods despite the fact they know they are bad for them.'
Beth Burgess, addictions therapist, says certain substances including foods can produce a surge of dopamine release in the brain – a feel-good chemical associated with pleasure – but also a 'seeking-craving' chemical which can induce cravings for more of the chemical that induced the high.
'There are two sorts of addict: those with a genetic susceptibility to dopamine release – they will experience cravings for more of the substance that gave them the hit – and those who are just eating so much sugar their body becomes desensitized to the dopamine hit and they crave more and more of it.
One problem these days is that so much sugar is added to foods and drink – the rise of the supersize muffin and cookie, for instance – so lots of people may be consuming so much sugar they overstimulate their receptors for dopamine.'
According to findings in the British Medical Journal, too much sugar is linked to weight gain, obesity, type 2 diabetes, tooth decay and other associated health problems.
Every week the average Brit consumes 238 teaspoons of sugar and Leatherhead Food Researchers say that every year each of us will consume 9.5kg of chocolate – only the Irish and Swiss eat more chocolate than us.
Concerns about our national sweet tooth have now reached fever pitch, so much so that a new pressure group, Action on Sugar, has been formed. The group is campaigning for a 20-30 per cent reduction in the amount of sugar added to processed foods.
Cardiologist and Science Director of Action on Sugar, Dr Aseem Malhotra, says: 'Added sugar has no nutritional value whatsoever, and causes no feeling of satiety.
Aside from being a major cause of obesity, there is increasing evidence that added sugar increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and fatty liver disease.'
New research published in the US by Laura Juliano, associate professor of psychology at American University, Washington, found more people are dependent on caffeine to the point that they suffer withdrawal symptoms and are unable to reduce consumption even if they have another condition affected by caffeine such as a heart condition or during pregnancy.
She said: 'While many people can consume caffeine without harm, for some it produces negative effects, physical dependence, interferes with daily functioning and can be difficult to give up – signs of problematic use.'
Although some benefits of caffeine include alertness, relief from physical exhaustion and sharpened mental awareness, it also exacerbates anxiety and sleep disorders.
Laura Juliano advises healthy adults should limit caffeine intake to 400mg a day (2-3 8oz cups) and pregnant women should have less than 200mg.
'If you think you're eating too much sugar and caffeine, try giving up one or both and see how you get on,' says Beth Burgess. 'If you can't manage without them you're probably an addict. Does it matter? It depends what effect it is having on your health.'
Tips for kicking the habit:
Similarly, if you recognise you have been eating sweet things because of loneliness or unhappiness, do something about it. Seek professional help or make more effort to socialise with friends.'

Rescue Time, I thought that was neat and I hear it is doing well since I first saw them. This coffee group is extremely adhoc get together to talk about peoples own startups. It attracts angels like myself and VCs like Andy.
This is Zachary Verdin, he has a new social network that he is working on for Artist. You can see the great Andy Sack in the background talking to another Entrepreneur.
A really like this format, it is so lose and not official. No one addresses the crowd, people just show up and introduce themselves to other people in the coffee shop that look like they are there to do the same thing.
I met a few startups today and I would love to meet more. There are so many great ideas in Seattle that I feel like there should be a better resource out there for them to be found.

Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors, 9 a.m. Tuesday, County Administration Center, 2 S. Green St., Sonora.
Tuolumne County officials will soon embark on a comprehensive study of all fees charged for services to see if they are either too low, too high or just right.
The county Board of Supervisors will receive a presentation at Tuesday's meeting on the process that will be used to conduct the study before being asked to consider adjusting the fees beginning later this month.
Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors, 9 a.m. Tuesday, County Administration Center, 2 S. Green St., Sonora.
Some county departments have reviewed and updated the fees they charge for services, though it's been years since the county has conducted a thorough analysis of all fees charged by departments that contribute to the General Fund.
That means there could be changes coming to fees for services such as property transactions, planning and libraries.
The total amount of money the county anticipates collecting in fees this year is $12.8 million. That's about 17 percent of the county's $74 million General Fund, which pays for most core services like law enforcement, fire protection and administration.
Last year, the General Fund received $11.6 million in revenue from fees charged by the various county departments.
Part of the study will also look at the "appropriateness and cost-effectiveness of providing the service," and whether the service can or should be provided by the private sector as opposed to local government.
A tentative schedule for meetings where the board will consider approving recommended changes to fees by department is as follows:
• Dec. 19: Agriculture Department, Auditor and Office of Revenue Recovery;
• Jan. 2: Animal Control and Standard Park Sports Complex;
• Jan. 16: Sheriff's Office and Probation Department;
• Feb. 6: County Clerk, Assessor and Library;
• Feb. 20: Planning Department and District Attorney's Office;
• March 6: Building and Safety Division and Recreation Department programs;
• March 20: Environmental Health Department.
Also at Tuesday's meeting, the board will consider a proposal for Assessor-Recorder Kaenan Whitman to make personal property in the county valued at less than $5,000 exempt from taxation.
The proposal would eliminate 1,150 accounts from the county's tax rolls, including boats, mining claims and more than 240 small businesses.
Personal property valued at $2,000 or more is taxed at the state maximum 1 percent per year, which is split up between the county, school districts, utilities and other entities in the area.
Whitman said the staff time and resources spent collecting those taxes can be greater than the return. He noted it would reduce the amount that the county's General Fund receives by only about $10,500 per year.
"It will save a bit of time for taxpayers who don't properly file on time and save quite a bit of staff time dealing with smaller accounts, so it's one of those win-win situations," Whitman said.
The proposal also calls increasing the tax exemption on temporary use of publicly owned facilities to $50,000 or less. That applies to rentals of facilities such as the Mother Lode Fairgrounds and Sonora Opera Hall.
At Tuesday's meeting, the board is also scheduled to receive a presentation on the Mother Lode Fair's theme for next year highlighting towns throughout the county as well as an update on the status of the $70 million grant the state received through the federal National Disaster Resilience Competition for projects in the county.

I met Danielle back in the early 90's in Charleston, SC playing at a rock club with some friends of mine.
I was totally taken aback by her southern punk rock, a got a view into what a folk musician gone rogue could be. Her voice was as classic as Patsy Cline with a southern drawl to match, her lyrics and life were straight out of a Flannery O'Connor story, and her musical leanings ran the gamut from punk to country to folk to jazz to rock. She hung with the southern kids in the Carolinas and the punks in DC. She has been adored and touted as the "musician's musician, the songwriter's writer," she has constantly reinvented herself and rolled with every punch the music industry could come up with.
Released in 2002, Skorborealis was Danielle Howle and the Tantrums' second record on Daemon and third release as a band. The Tantrums-John Furr on guitar, Troy Tague on drums, and Bryan Williams on bass were the best of South Carolina and made up what was to be considered,a southern music supergroup! They maintained their musical fluidity and by this time honed their sound together, so that you could feel the carefree irreverent approach that comes with comfort and musicality, and not taking yourself too seriously. These songs range from heavy hitting rockers to heart aching torch songs, they still revealed her both her punk and country roots.

How to Improve Arm and Leg Circulation
Eliminate from your diet salt and foods rich in saturated fats, since triglycerides and cholesterol raises blood viscosity, and this directly affects blood circulation.
If you are used to having cold hands and feet and a constant tingling sensation in different extremities, needle-like pricking, numbness, or muscle cramps, it may be that you do not have very good blood circulation.
This means that the cells and tissues in your extremities are not receiving sufficient blood flow, and therefore little oxygen or nutrients. Also, since the blood carries excess waste and toxins, we can have an idea of the problems that might befall us if the problem lasts a prolonged amount of time.
Symptoms of Poor Circulation
As we have already mentioned, our extremities suffering low temperature, feeling pricked as with needles or simply tingling are the most commonly known symptoms, but some others are presented in the following:
- Numbness in the arms and legs.
- Pain and cramps in the hands and feet.
- Swelling in the legs.
- Slow healing of sores on the hands and feet.
- Cracks on the feet and hands.
- Loss of feeling in the extremities.
- Migraines and headaches.
- Blue coloring in the fingers and nails.
- Appearance of varicose veins.
- Itching in the arms and legs.
- Gluteal and leg cramps.
- Loss of strength in the hands and feet.
- Difficulty in walking.
- Dizziness when standing up.
Possible Causes
Causes of poor circulation can be diverse – slipped discs, muscle spasms due to poor posture, inflammation, exposure to low tempatures, and many others. The first thing we should do is to seek medical attention to diagnose the cause, and from there, we can decide which natural alternatives we can put into effect.
Sometimes our bad habits, like alcohol abuse, too much caffeine, taking drugs or strong medications, lack of postural health, nutrional deficiencies or excessive stress, can cause a deficiency in blood circulation in the extremities.
On other occasions the causes can be due to more serious health complications like obstruction of the peripheral arteries, ateriosclerosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, coronary disease, heart arrhythmia, kidney failure, lung infection, diabetes, hypertension, or obstruction of the blood vessels by blood clots.
Improve Your Lifestyle
The best idea in this case is to combine treatments. Depending on what diagnosis our physician gives and which medications we are prescribed to solve our problem, certain changes to our lifestyle, a healthy diet, and some home remedies can help not only alleviate the symptoms but also help with complete healing.
Smoking less, not habitually drinking alcohol, walking more, bicycling and strength training for the arms and legs, swimming or aquatic activities are all great activities. Walking for 40 minutes is accessible for the majority of people and brings incredible improvements. It is also recommended that you use loose clothing, especially when sleeping, and to avoid low temperatures.
Natural Nutrition
Eating foods rich in vitamin C will activate our circulation. Those that have substantial vitamin C are the citrus fruits like lemons, oranges, kiwis, grapefruits, and limes, as well as other fruits like guavas, pomelos, strawberries, berries, and watermelon and melon. Tomatoes, spinach, green and red peppers, Brussel sprouts, and parsley are also rich in vitamin C
Watermelon, tomatoes, and strawberries also contain lycopene, which activates blood circulation. Another indispensable vitamin for good circulation is vitamin E. We can find it in high concentrations in green, leafy vegetables like spinach or broccoli, as well as in brewer's yeast or wheat germ. They also come in fruites and vegetables rich in potassium, like bananas.
Some oils rich in vitamin E and high levels of Omega 3 are sesame oil, walnut oil, palm oil, almond oil, olive oil, although it is also the case that it is recommended that you eat the fruits: olives, almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds. It is also recommended that you include egg yolks, cold-water fish, and spirulina supplements to help improve circulation.
It would be best to avoid foods rich in saturated fats like dairy products, such as butter, cream, lunchmeats, pastries, since triglycerides and cholesterol thicken the blood considerably and this directly affects circulation. Also, do not eat an excess of salt or sodium, which absorb water and also affect the liquidity of the blood.
A very useful accompaniment are the proteinases which lower inflammation very effectively. One such proteinase might be pineapple bromelain, which we can find as a supplement in pharmacies like serrazimes, which are derived from fungi and not from pineapple, but which have even more effects. Take 3 to 5 per day in between meals.
Natural Remedies
In addition to a healthy, natural diet, with few saturated fats and rich in vegetables, it is a good practice to help circulation to accompany with some home remedies that work well to activate the blood flow to the extremities:
- Apply the juice of aloe vera or sabila to the affected regions. It is also good to consume three tablespoons of this juice in between meals.
- Apply essential oils. Dilute lavender essential oil in almond or coconut oil and massage into legs, feet, arms, or hands.
- Herbal infusions. Yarrow or ginger tea, infusion of horsetail, mistletoe, passion flower, gingko biloba, thyme, sage, or rosemary are great for activating the circulation. Drink whichever you have on hand. Let it boil 15 minutes over low heat, then let it sit for 5 minutes, strain, and drink before each meal.
- Eat one or two garlic cloves before breakfast, or add considerable garlic to our daily diet. It will help increase blood flow, as well as ridding the veins of plaque and thereby preventing arteriosclerosis.
- Drink a litre of mineral water before breakfast, drinking glass by glass, slowly, to help create better circulation. In addition, drink sufficient healthy liquid during the day, like infusions, fruit juices, and fresh fruits, milks, and vegetable broths.
- Apply clay poultices in affected zones, and this will help not only to improve circulation, but also swelling and varicose veins caused by poor circulation.
- Soak feet and hands in hot water with pepper each night. It is an ancient remedy that helps activate circulation in the extremities.
- Soak hands and feet with ginger root. Mix a fourth of ginger powder in two litres of hot water and then submerge the affected members in the mixture.
- Pour a cup of fresh mint into a gallon of recently heated water, insert feet and soak for 15 minutes, and dry them well after. One tablespoon of rosemary and another of rue in half a litre of boiled water for 10 minutes, can be used, once sufficiently cooled, to wash hands and feet.
- Bath of rosemary, elderberry, horsetail, burdock, and comfry. Add a fistful of these herbs in abundant boiling water, let rest for 30 minutes, and strain before adding to bath water. Bathe for 15 minutes and then wrap yourself in a towel for another 10 minutes.
- Take an onion bath, boiling 10 litres of water one kilo of onion, and add the broth to the bathtub with warm water, and bathe yourself in it for ten minutes.
All of these traditional remedies present great relief from symptoms as they go about activating better arm and leg circulation as well as in the rest of the body.

Malala Yousafzai is a worldwide symbol of activism and education rights for girls. Since her childhood, she has been an outspoken advocate for the education of all girls in Pakistan, her home country. In 2012, Malala was shot in the head by a Taliban militant while riding to school. Malala was only fifteen. She miraculously survived, and went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless efforts to ensure the education of all children, regardless of gender. She gave a powerful speech at the United Nations on her 16th birthday. Her book, an autobiography titled "I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban", was an enlightening personal account of her life in Pakistan and the experiences surrounding her gunshot wound.
More recently, "He Named Me Malala" was released, a documentary detailing the events surrounding the Taliban's attack on Malala. This 2015 film was received warmly, and gives insight into the beautiful Swat region where Malala lives, her life and family, details of the attack, and her continued activism. Recently, the Women's Center screened "He Named Me Malala" for its Spring Film series at the Kenworthy Theatre.

Designers: The "Custom Kitchens" Staff
Photography: Scott Hargis
Our Spring 2016 "Featured Project" is a complete remodel/rehab of a home in Oakland, CA. All of the work was done by Custom Kitchens by John Wilkins, Inc, located in Oakland. Custom Kitchens has been an Authorized Bentwood Dealer since 2003, and an absolute delight to work with. Jerry, Joy and their team have designed and installed many Bentwood kitchens during that time and this is just one of their many beautiful projects.
Registered as an historic building, this 1910 English Craftsman home needed major rehabilitation, both structurally and aesthetically. The owners sought a complete home remodel to correct decades of neglect and poorly designed alterations, seeking to restore original architectural intentions and detail, wherever possible. The remodeling work was required to conform to all National, State, and Local Historic Rehabilitation standards and criteria.
The initial goals were straightforward-- increase the overall living space within the home (including the challenge of constructing a full basement beneath the original structure), and eliminate the faulty construction of previous renovations. Additional goals were to create a home with a more comfortable open floor plan, one that would be energy efficient and current with modern technologies, and that would be sensitive to universal design issues, including an elevator to all three floors, allowing the owners to "age-in-place". The home needed to reflect an Arts and Crafts Period aesthetic and be sensitive to the character of the original structure, as well as to the neighborhood and re-utilize as much of the original building materials as possible.
Without the benefit of any original architectural drawings or historic photographs, Custom Kitchens' design staff carefully dissected the existing home to determine which features were original to the structure, which were not, what significant changes had been made and what features had been lost. They found missing porches, boarded up windows and doorways, and a 1970's addition that lacked any merit whatsoever that could only be demolished.
On the exterior, the front of the home now features a graceful new terrace with Arts and Crafts pyramid columns supporting an open pergola at the French doors to the Living Room. The latter were positioned in the precise location of the original windows. The terrace continues along the side of the building with a covered porch to the front door, which was restored to its original location on the north side of the house.
On the interior, the existing home featured a jumbled array of small spaces and narrow passageways that led to cramped rooms with limited function. The new open space plan establishes a dynamic connection and flow both functionally and aesthetically to all the adjacent living areas of the home. On the first floor, a central corridor was created featuring a series of successive arches. Together with ceiling beams and half-walls with pyramid columns, the arches bring a strong visual integration of the separate rooms, yet maintain an open airy feeling. Moreover, a clear line of sight was established from the living room entry through the arched corridor, and the kitchen and family room to the French doors at the rear of the home.
Many aspects of the original structure were renovated for safety and energy-efficiency. Some of those renovations include...all of the windows in the house were replaced and care was taken to match the exterior trim details of the original windows...the new roof was prepared for solar panels...the chimney structure was rebuilt...all new interior and exterior doors were installed...the mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems were replaced...and, the existing foundation was strengthened when the new basement was built.
Located in the central part of the home resides a fully functional Bentwood kitchen. During the planning stage, the kitchen island was carefully designed to fit between two vertical steel columns that support the upstairs. Then, before the island was installed, the columns were trimmed in a detail that matches the exterior of the home. The kitchen was designed in an Arts and Crafts style, matching the feel of the home. Two door styles and colors were picked to complement the design. Modern built-in refrigeration, cooking and food preparation areas were strategically placed into the design, all blended together to create a comfortable cooking and dining experience.
While this home gives the appearance of having always been in this neighborhood, with this rehabilitation, it is now set to go forward for at least another century or more with structural durability, energy efficiency, universal design accommodations and systems prepared for today and future's technologies.
We would like to thank Custom Kitchens by John Wilkins, Inc,for allowing us to share this fantastic project with you. You can contact Jerry or Joy Wilkins at 510.843.3600 or visit them at 6624 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland, CA 94609. Their website address is customkitchens-ca.com.
Once again, a big thanks to everyone at Custom Kitchens!
Bon Appétit!

Bring Me Down by Kanye West Lyrics
I always knew that one day, they'd try to bring me down
Way down, way down
One day, they'd tried to bring me down
Always knew that one day, they'd try to bring me down
Way down, they'd try to bring me downWe gon' to mass today, we have to pray
Besides what the pastor say, I have to say
Since Pac passed away
Most you rappers don't even deserve a track from me
You see, if you ever wanted to ever be anything
There'd always be somebody that shoot down any dream
There'll always be haters, that's the way it is
Hater niggas marry hater bitches and have hater kids
But they gon' have to take my life 'fore they take my drive
'Cause when I was barely livin', that's what kept me alive
Just the thought that maybe it could be better than what we at at this time
Make it out of this grind, 'fore I'm out of my mind
And get some leeway on the he say, she say
Your girl don't like me, how long has she been gay?
Spanish girls say "Yo, no hablo inglés"
And everybody want to run to me for their single
It's funny how these wack niggas need my help
Wasn't around when I couldn't feed myself
Dawg, if I was you, I wouldn't feel myself
Dawg, if I was you, I'd kill myself
Made a mil' myself and I'm still myself
And I'mma look in the mirror if I need some help
Y'all don't from the heart, y'all all frontin'
Everybody feel a way about K but at least y'all feel somethingWhy you come here
I bet it only it was forget to get you
What kind of dream we found
See I'm often at your cross ways
Forgetting it was that Heaven let ya
They'd tried to bring me downI always knew that one day, they'd try to bring me down
Way down, way down
Always knew that one day, they'd tried to bring me down
Way down, they'd try to bring me down
Always knew that one day, they'd try to bring me down
Way down, they'd try to bring me down
KANYE WEST, JON BRION, ANTONY WILLIAMSPublished by

He began making beats and rapping in the early 90s in Chicago, IL, United States when he formed the rap group Go Getters with Chicago natives GLC and Really Doe. He later gained nationwide popularity in New York when he began producing tracks for artists such as Jay-Z, Twista, Mase, Talib Kweli and Alicia Keys.
West's style of production often utilizes pitched-up vocal samples, usually from soul songs, with his own drums and instruments. The first major label song he produced was The Truth by Beanie Sigel, and his first major release featuring his trademark vocal sampling style was This Can't Be Life, a track from Jay-Z's The Dynasty: Roc La Familia. West said he sped up the drum beat of Dr. Dre's Xxplosive to use as a replacement for his drums on This Can't Be Life.
West has said that Wu-Tang Clan producer RZA influenced him in his style, and has said on numerous occasions that Wu-Tang rappers Ghostface Killah and Ol' Dirty Bastard were some of his all-time favorites. Said by Kanye West: "Wu-Tang? Me and my friends talk about this all the time… We think Wu-Tang had one of the biggest impacts as far as a movement. From slang to style of dress, skits, the samples. Similar to the [production] style I use, RZA has been doing that."
In 2004 (after being pushed aside by many record companies who felt he wasn't a marketable hip hop artist), he managed to release his debut solo album, The College Dropout on Roc-A-Fella Records. The album received critical acclaim, defining the style for which West would become known: "wordplay" and heavy sampling of 70s soul and RnB tracks. He is also known for his politically-charged rhymes and controversial behavior both inside and outside the realms of music.
He has since released five more albums, all of which have received numerous awards, high commercial success and critical acclaim. Late Registration (2005); Graduation (2007); 808s & Heartbreak (2008); My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010); Yeezus (2013).
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, West's fifth studio album, was released in November 2010 to rave reviews from critics, many of whom described it as his best work that solidified his comeback. In stark contrast to his previous effort, which featured a minimalist sound, Dark Fantasy adopts a maximalist philosophy and deals with themes of celebrity and excess. The record included the international hit All of the Lights, and Billboard hits Power, Monster, and Runaway, the latter of which accompanied a 35-minute film of the same name. During this time, West initiated the free music program G.O.O.D. Fridays through his website, offering a free download of previously unreleased songs each Friday of the week, a portion of which were included on the album. Dark Fantasy went on to go platinum in the United States, but its omission as a contender for Album of the Year at the 54th Grammy Awards was viewed as a "snub" by several media outlets.
Following a headlining set at Coachella 2011 that was described by The Hollywood Reporter as "one of greatest hip-hop sets of all time," West released the collaborative album Watch the Throne with Jay-Z. By employing a sales strategy that released the album digitally weeks before its physical counterpart, Watch the Throne became one of the few major label albums in the Internet age to avoid a leak. Niggas in Paris became the record's highest charting single, peaking at number five on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2012, West released the compilation album Cruel Summer, a collection of tracks by artists from West's record label GOOD Music. Cruel Summer produced four singles, two of which charted within the top twenty of the Hot 100: Mercy and Clique. West also directed a film of the same name that premiered at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival in custom pyramid-shaped screening pavilion featuring seven screens.
Sessions for West's sixth solo effort begin to take shape in early 2013 in his own personal loft's living room at a Paris hotel. Determined to "undermine the commercial," he once again brought together close collaborators and attempted to incorporate Chicago drill, dancehall, acid house, and industrial music. Primarily inspired by architecture, West's perfectionist tendencies led him to contact producer Rick Rubin fifteen days shy of its due date to strip down the record's sound in favor of a more minimalist approach. Initial promotion of his sixth album included worldwide video projections of the album's music and live television performances.
Yeezus, West's sixth album, was released June 18, 2013 to rave reviews from critics. It became the rapper's sixth consecutive number one debut. Def Jam issued "Black Skinhead" to radio in July 2013 as the album's lead single. On September 6, 2013, Kanye West announced he would be headlining his first solo tour in five years, to support Yeezus, with fellow American rapper Kendrick Lamar, accompanying him along the way.
In November 2013, West stated that he was working on and recording his next studio album. The album is being produced by Rick Rubin and Q-Tip. In April 2014, he appeared in Future's new single titled I Won. Kanye released the first single from the album on December 31, 2014 entitled Only One. All Day the second single from Kanye's new album was released on March 2, 2015. West had originally stated the album would be called 'So Help Me God' but in May, 2015, changed the album title to 'SWISH'.
Personal life:
West was born in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was three years old (as mentioned in Hey Mama) his parents divorced, and he moved with his mother to Chicago, Illinois. His father, Ray West, was a former Black Panther; one of the first black photojournalists at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution; and is now a Christian counselor. Kanye's late mother, Dr. Donda West, worked as a Professor of English at Clark Atlanta University, and the Chair of the English Department at Chicago State University before retiring to serve as Kanye's manager. He was later raised in an upper middle class background, attending Polaris High School in suburban Oak Lawn, Illinois after living in Chicago.
After attending The American Academy of Art, a Chicago art school, West attended Chicago State University but eventually dropped out due to poor grades and in order to continue working on his music career. While attending school, West produced for local artists, including on rapper Grav's debut album Down to Earth. He later gained fame by producing hit singles for major hip hop/R&B artists, including Jay-Z, Talib Kweli, Cam'ron, Paul Wall, Common, Mobb Deep, Jermaine Dupri, Scarface, The Game, Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson and John Legend among others. He also "ghost-produced" for his once mentor Deric Angelettie according to his song Last Call and the credits of Nas' Poppa Was a Playa.
Kanye is married to Kim Kardashian. They have one child together named North. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.

Pay equity: the consequences of noncomplianceLinkedIn
There, in black and white
NB Bulletin Vol 13 N. 16, December 2010
In the last year, Quebec's pay equity commission, the Commission de l'équité salariale (hereinafter, "Commission"), has made major efforts to educate and inform employers about their obligations under the Pay Equity Act (hereinafter, "Act") and the measures to be taken to fulfil them. The Commission, the Pay Equity Act and pay equity in general have also been covered extensively and continuously in the media over the last year and a half to inform the employees of their rights.
Although the obligations of employers subject to the Act have changed very little since the original legislation, this second deadline provides them with a last chance to comply and to avoid penalties. In a context where it has become almost impossible to plead ignorance of the law and its obligations, some employers subject to the December 31, 2010 deadline, have not yet started the work necessary to comply with only a few days remaining.
Given the scope of the work and the anticipated costs of compliance, some employers are considering taking the business risk of not undertaking the pay equity process. Considering that a complaint from an employee is necessary to trigger an investigation of the employer by the Commission, the business risk hinges on the probability of a complaint by an employee. Consequently, two variables are to be considered in evaluating this risk:
The probability of a complaint
The probability of an employee filing a complaint against his or her employer depends largely on this employee's a higher level of awareness about pay equity, its potential consequences on his or her compensation and the possible legal actions. This heightened level of awareness is due in great part to the following circumstances:
a) The Commission's communication strategy: In 2009 and 2010, the Commission made efforts to communicate with employers, to educate them about their obligations and to equip them to assume these obligations. Since the beginning of autumn, the Commission has changed its communication focus and is now informing employees of their rights and the legal action available to them to ensure these rights.
b) The role of the media: Pay equity has been a hot topic in electronic, social and traditional media since the spring of 2009. For example, a search on Twitter and Facebook turns up tens of thousands of employee comments and opinions on pay equity indicating a broad base awareness amongst printed and electronic media readers and Internet users.
c) Retroactive adjustments: In addition to the pay adjustments effective December 31, 2010 for some employees, there will also be pay adjustments calculated retroactively back as far as nine years. The amounts owed to some employees can total several thousands of dollars. Employees who receive these adjustments will share the news in their social and family circles. This will constitute an additional source of information on the financial opportunities pay equity seems to offer.
d) Employee comprehension and expectations: The employees understanding and interpretation of the information available will influence their pay adjustment expectations, the understanding of their rights and of their employer's pay equity obligations. Right or wrong, this understanding will influence how they react to the action or inaction of their employer with respect to pay equity.
e) The employer's equity efforts: For every employer, we can assume that a certain number of its employees are aware of pay equity and its potential consequences. These employees will be more attentive to the employer's words and actions with respect to the following:
The consequences of a complaint
The filing of a complaint, regardless of motives, triggers an intervention by the Commission. Generally, the Commission verifies the nature of the complaint and then investigates the overall process conducted by the employer in order to comply with the Act.
In the case of an employer who has taken the risk of not undertaking a pay equity process or has carried it out in a way that reduces or eliminates wrongfully salary adjustments, the Commission will, regardless if the complaint is well-founded or not, require that the employer undertake the pay equity process or redo the work with very specific instructions and deadlines.
In such a case, all pay adjustments would remain effective as of December 31, 2010 and any retroactive amounts would bear interest to the date at which the employer was to complete its original pay equity process. Furthermore, the Commission could also impose an additional penalty, increasing the current interest rate of 5% to about 8%. This penalty would apply to all employees eligible to an adjustment on the date set by the Commission.
The Commission also has the authority to impose fines ranging from $1,000 to $45,000 depending on the size of the company. These amounts are paid to the government of Quebec. The amounts can double in the case of a second offence.
The authority of the Commission to act on complaints filed
The recent provincial budget proposes the dissolution of the Commission and the transfer of its mandate to the Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse (CDPDJ). This has been perceived by many as weakening the Commission's authority thus making it difficult for it to fully assume its role under the Act, particularly the handling of complaints. Employers evaluating the risk of noncompliance are factoring this in their assessment.
In our opinion, it is too early to evaluate the impact of the proposed change. The information gathered at this point is limited and can be summarized as follows:
We believe there will be a temporary disturbance in the operations of the CDPDJ and once it has fully integrated its new mandate, it will proceed with diligence in processing the complaints.
Normandin Beaudry strongly recommends to all its clients that they comply with the Act and for those who have not yet undertaken the work involved, to do so before year's end. It is preferable to be recognized by the Commission as being late in completing the required work rather than being an employer refusing to comply with the obligations of the Act.
For those employers who foresee not being on time for the December 31 deadline and wish to minimize the possibility of complaints in early 2011, we recommend developing and deploying a communication plan to inform their employees of their intentions to carrying out the required pay equity process and to proceed with diligence in getting the work done.
The decision to take the business risk of noncompliance is up to each and every employer. It is important to bear in mind that employees, in 2010, are much more aware of their rights regarding pay equity than they were in 2001. The risk should be evaluated accordingly.

Not everyone loves writing, it's true. You may not have been born to be the next Shakespeare or Pablo Neruda, but writing is still an important skill to work on while in high school. Strong written expression will help you succeed in university or college or will help you find a job out of high school. Plus, writing well in high school will help you get higher grades to get into good college and universities.
Scoring Written Expression
When teachers look at your writing, they typically evaluate you based on five main areas: vocabulary, spelling, punctuation, logic and combination of ideas. This is true of young children and of high-school students, and these skills form the basis of the way you'll write for the rest of your life. Spelling and punctuation show a basic understanding of English, whereas vocabulary shows a depth of knowledge. Logic and combining ideas are a little harder to measure, but logic typically shows how you relate ideas in writing and combining ideas shows that you have sufficient skill as a writer to present those ideas clearly.
Showing Off
When writing an assignment or for a test in high school, keep the five key areas in mind. Make sure that everything is spelled correctly and that you use commas, periods, question marks and quotation marks correctly. Little mistakes, like confusing "there, their and they're" and "its and it's" will make your scores lower. Once the basics are in place, group your ideas into paragraphs and use transition sentences between paragraphs to introduce new ideas. Once your teacher sees your basic competency, they'll be able to examine your ideas and get to know your personality as a writer and as a student.
Post-Secondary Writing
The skills you develop in high school will carry on to college or university. Don't worry if you can't write at a university or college level as soon as you get to school: all schools offer introductory writing courses, and most schools make these mandatory. College instructors look for your ability to write multiparagraph essays and to incorporate sources into your writing to show that you've done research and that you can incorporate another person's ideas into your writing. If you can work on these skills in high school, you'll be better prepared for success at the college level, where writing is an essential skill.
If you choose not to go to university right away, or if you want to just work straight out of high school, writing is still important. According to one study called "What Do Employers Want," employers are "more critical of writing than any other area." Studies have repeatedly shown that one of the main concerns for employers is that new employees lack for communication skills, including and sometimes especially written communication. Basic academic skills are important for work, including writing legibly and completing forms accurately.

When Technology & Customer Experience Collide: Paving the way for self-serve and ordering kiosks
In the last few years, the Quick Serve Restaurant (QSR) industry has begun to explore how the addition of self-serve kiosks within the restaurant can impact the ordering experience, shape the types of employees needed, and transform the customer experience. Chains began experimenting with the technology in 2014, and the initial customer feedback has been positive, leading more QSR restauranteurs to consider implementing selfserve ordering kiosks within their chains.
The acceptance of self-serve ordering in restaurants is hardly surprising. Consumers have extremely high expectations for their retail and restaurant experiences. They want immediate answers to questions, customization, high levels of personal service, and easy forms of payment all in one. We understand that a well-designed self-serve kiosk can help meet these needs.
We see four trends that have led to the acceptance of self-serve ordering:
- Technological Immersion
- Shifting Forms of Communication
- Empowered Consumers: Individual Experiences
- Integrating Digital Technology & Physical Spaces
Today's customers are ready for self-serve ordering. Are you? If not, you may want to consider how these trends will impact your business.

:: Esquel Bans Cyanide Use
The Argentinian town of Esquel, located near Meridian Gold Inc.'s Esquel gold project, has banned the use and transport of cyanide within its limits. The Esquel project envisages using cyanide for gold recovery. Meridian attributes the move to a "small group of people", who "not subtly" have influenced the local authorities.
According to Meridian, in addition to the cyanide ban, the town council of Esquel has decided to hold a referendum on the project before a public hearing has been held, and to reject the mining law of Argentina. Meridian notes that the plans for the project are designed to meet or exceed all required environmental and safety standards, including using cyanide-destruction techniques.
