Education / After Over 1 Year Of Strike, LAUTECH To Reopen Tomorrow by Okohit212: 5:32pm On Sep 14, 2017


The Governing Council of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, has fixed the resumption of activities at the university for Friday, September 15, 2017.

The registrar of the university, Jacob Agboola, said this in a statement released on Thursday by the Public Relations Officer of the institution, Mr. Lekan Fadeyi.

The university urged students to return to their campuses for commencement of academic activities on Monday, September 18.

The statement read, “The Governing Council of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, has approved resumption of activities on the institution’s campuses with effect from Friday, September 15, 2017.

Students of the university are expected to return to school on Monday, September 25, 2017, while full academic activities, the details of which the senate will announce, shall commence immediately after the Independence anniversary holiday.

Council thanked the governors of Oyo and Osun states, Senator Isiaka Abiola Ajimobi and Ogbeni Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola respectively, for agreeing to support the university with necessary funds to enable the university to return to its normal work schedule and reinvigorate its latent capacities for accelerated and sustainable growth and development.”

It will be recalled that the university has been embroiled in perennial crisis, while various workers’ unions had embarked on indefinite strikes to press home demands for payment of about 10-month salary arrears.

Celebrities / Yung6ix Clears The Air On His ‘beef’ With Akpororo [video] by Okohit212: 11:21am On Sep 14, 2017


Between two of the best entertainers from the south side, Yung6ix and Akpororo, things have not been exactly cordial. Since the comedian cracked a joke about Yung6ix’s decision to spend as much as 3.9 million naira on drinks at a night club, tension have heightened in the circle of their core fans.

However, the rapper had earlier made a social media post to douse the tension but his DJ mouthed off and threatened the comedian not to come to south side and he seemed to be beating war drums. Yung6ix has come out to restate in a video, that there is no such thing as a beef between him and Akpororo, even though he is disappointed in the comedian.

Phones / All You Need To Know About The New Iphone X by Okohit212: 8:59am On Sep 13, 2017
https://pulsemusic.ng/need-know-iphone-x/

Ten years after Apple launched its first iPhone, they have revealed the iPhone X.

It has no home button, scans your face to log you in and costs $999.
The company unveiled the anniversary edition smartphone, alongside an iPhone 8 and its bigger sibling, the iPhone 8 Plus, at a press event at the brand new Apple Park campus in Cupertino on Tuesday.

The company also announced a new Apple Watch with a cellular connection, an Apple TV that streams 4K video, and gave the public its first peek at the circular Steve Jobs Theater.

The new iPhone X kills the home button to make space for a larger screen. It has an edge-to-edge display, glass on the front and back, wireless charging that requires resting the phone on a special surface, and a surgical grade stainless steel band around the edges. It’s water and dust resistant.

The 5.8-inch OLED display isn’t just bigger, it also packs 458 pixels-per-inch. Apple (AAPL, Tech30) calls it a Super Retina Display. It supports HDR, has a million-to-one contrast ratio and improved color accuracy.

The loss of the home button means no more fingerprint sensor. To unlock the phone, you can use your face with a new technology called Face ID. Front-facing cameras and sensors create a map of your face to determine if you are the phone’s proper owner. The technology learns more about your face every time you use it, and stores any face detection information on the device. It uses small flood light to work in the dark.

Apple said face detection is more secure than fingerprints. It added there was a one in 50,000 chance of a random person being able to open your phone with their fingerprint. But those chances drop to 1 in a million with face detection.
The company also introduced a Face ID-enabled feature called Animoji, which serves up animated emoji that mimic your facial expressions. For example, you’ll be able to give your friends side-eye as a unicorn.

The iPhone X will cost $999 for the 64 GB version, $1,149 for the 256 GB version, and start shipping on Nov. 3 — more than a month later than all the other devices announced on Tuesday.

For those not willing to shell out a grand for a new smartphone, the iPhone 8 options are cheaper and also pack a powerful punch. They’re faster, sturdier and better at snapping photos than the previous iPhone.

On the surface, the devices look similar to the iPhone 7. The iPhone 8 clocks in at 4.7 inches and iPhone 8 Plus is 5.5 inches. But inside is an A11 “bionic chip” and an improved camera sensor.

https://pulsemusic.ng/need-know-iphone-x/


Wireless charging, available on both the iPhone X and iPhone 8 devices, is a big move forward, too. The charging requires contact between a special surface and the glass back of the iPhone. The technology is based on Qi wireless charging, which Apple believes will be available at coffee shops, stores and airports around the world in the near future, so people can get juice on the go.

iPhone 8 smartphones, which come with an aluminum band around the edges, will be available in three colors: space gray, gold and silver.

The iPhone 8 will start at $699 and the iPhone 8 Plus is $799 for 64 GB models.

Music/Radio / 7 Things You Never Knew About Hip-hop’s In America (history) by Okohit212: 1:03am On Aug 12, 2017
7 things you never knew about hip-hop’s history in America
Forty-four years ago today, an 18-year-old New York DJ and his emcee friend kickstarted the hip-hop genre.

To commemorate the 44th anniversary of hip-hop, Google debuted an interactive Google Doodle narrated by Fab 5 Freddy on its homepage, where you can play DJ as you scratch, mix your own breaks and earn trophies that unlock new facts about hip-hop.

[center]7 things to know about hip-hop’s history[/center]
Who invented hip-hop?



the birth of hip hop is believed to date back to Aug. 11, 1973, where DJ Kool Herc, real name Clive Campbell, and his friend hosted a back-to-school party in Bronx, New York.

Eighteen-year-old Campbell and his friend Coke La Rock are often referred to as the fathers of hip-hop.

But according to NPR, “hip-hop has a number of fathers based on your understanding and knowledge of it.” There’s DJ Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaataa, the two South Bronx men known for throwing parties around town.

Bambaataa also led Universal Zulu Nation (called “Organization” in the 1970s), a hip-hop organization meant to unite all facets of the hip-hop culture.

DJ Kool Herc, Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash are also recognized as hip-hop’s founding “holy trinity,” according to The Guardian.

And there’s also Pete DJ Jones, who was popular in the club scene.

In 1979, Sugarhill Gang rappers produced hip-hop’s first commercially successful hit, “Rapper’s Delight,” according to Rap Genius.

Where and how did hip-hop begin?



The two Bronx kids decided to try something a little different while entertaining guests at their sister’s back-to-school bash. According to NPR, Campbell threw his party inside the 1520 Sedgwick Avenue building in the South Bronx.

Instead of playing the songs in full, the Jamaican-American DJ isolated their instrumentals (or “breaks”), during which he noticed the crowd went wild.

Before this time, emcees typically introduced the DJ, the music and was responsible for hyping up the crowds with jokes and stories.

At the Aug. 11, 1973 bash, emcee Coke La Rock grabbed the microphone to do just that during Herc’s innovative instrumental spins, adding words to the beats and with that, as Google wrote, hip-hop was born.

What are the four original elements of hip-hop culture?

Aside from DJYou ding and emceeing (or rapping), the other iconic original elements of the genre are graffiti and b-boying (or breakdancing).

All four of these elements already existed in August 1973, but they were recognized as separate entities by the mainstream media, NPR reported.


What were hip-hop music’s original themes?

Much of pre-1980s “hip-hop,” often encompassed party themes, but social and political issues are often recognized as the main propellers of the birth and original direction of hip-hop, according to

To get an idea of original themes associated with the genre’s birth, it’s important to understand its historical context.

Hip-hop was birthed in black and Latino urban communities in New York, where street cultures were left isolated from white neighborhoods.

During this post-industrial pre-Reagan era, when political discourse was rampant in the U.S., the black and Latino residents in New York were written off as marginalized communities.

After President Ronald Reagan’s election in 1981, conditions in those communities worsened, the Grio reported. Intensifying social issues related to police brutality, poverty, incarceration, oppression and unemployment became the prime influencers of hip-hop’s birth.

One of the first hits in socially-conscious rap was Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five’s “The Message,” released in 1982.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4o8TeqKhgY



The track described the circumstances and stresses of inner city poverty.

Where did “hip-hop” get its name?

Keith “Cowboy” Wiggins, one of the emcees with Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, is credited in the hip-hop community with coining the term “hip-hop” (and it was by accident).

While teasing one of his friends who had just joined the U.S. Army, Wiggins used the phrase “hip-hop” to imitate sounds made by the cadence of marching soldiers.

Somehow, some way, that term made its way to Wiggins’ stage performances.

Later, Afrika Bambaataa said DJ Lovebug Starski used the term hip-hop to describe the culture in its entirety.

The first time the term “hip-hop” made it to print newspapers

In January 1982, the “East Village Eye,” a cultural magazine that focused on the New York neighborhood’s art scene, published writer and filmmaker Michael Holman’s interview with Afrika Bambaataa, a DJ from South Bronx.

Once, Holman went to one of Mambaataa’s Zulu Nation parties at the Bronx River Houses in 1982.


Around this time, Blondie had released “Rapture,” the second single from their 1980 LP, “Autoamerican.” The track featured Debbie Harry name-dropping hip-hop masters Fab 5 Freddy and DJ Grandmaster Flash.

The first hip-hop themed film



“Wild Style” (1983) is often regarded as the first hip-hop film.

Directed and produced by Charlie Ahearn, the film featured prominent hip-hop pioneers Busy Bee Starski, Fab 5 Freddy, Grandmaster Flash and the Cold Crush Brothers, all of whom play themselves in the motion picture.
