Turn-O-Phrase - Word Puzzles A mixtape love letter to the parks that birthed hip hop Hip hop was born in an apartment building in the Bronx, but it grew up in New York City’s parks. In the 1970s and ’80s, DJs would steal electricity from street lamps to power their speakers, plug in two turntables and a microphone, and throw a jam. Amateur rappers gathered for freestyle sessions in parks, most famously Manhattan’s Union Square. The essence of living in a dense urban area is trading private space for public space. So it’s natural that an intensely urban art form such as hip hop was nurtured in the parks. Here is my handpicked mixtape of great rap songs that celebrate the role of parks in city life. 1. Parks are especially important in the history of New York City rapper KRS-One, who helped to invent hardcore hip hop with his groundbreaking 1987 album, Criminal Minded, and then set off the era of social consciousness with his 1988 album, By All Means Necessary. 2. KRS-One’s rival was M.C. 3. The chorus of “In Tha Park” is an homage to MC Shan’s 1988 classic. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Deserts of the World Index -- Exploring Nature Educational Resource When you think of deserts, do you think of a dry, hot endless sea of sand, with no life? It is true that deserts are dry, and during the day it can be 100 degrees. Sometimes the ground can be too hot to walk on, even with shoes. At midday the scorching sunburns over head making a shimmer of heat rise from the rocks and sand. But at night the desert can be cold! The temperature can drop well below freezing. Deserts can get rain, but not very often and not always enough to soak the ground. Every year the world’s deserts are growing. Rainfall brings a sudden bloom of desert life. As human numbers grow, the need for space and resources has sent developers into the desert more and more.

Mandela memorial sign language interpreter 'was making it up' | Society The translation of speeches into sign language at Nelson Mandela's memorial service was seen as a sign of inclusiveness, but it appears the sign language interpreter was a fake, according to several expert organisations. Braam Jordaan, a deaf South African and board member of the World Deaf Federation, said the interpreter was making up signs as he went along. "The structure of his hand, facial expressions and the body movements did not follow what the speaker was saying," Jordaan said. The man who signed for a section of the ceremony, including Barack Obama's speech, was simply making up his own signs, he said. "I was really upset and humiliated," Jordaan told the SBS news website. Members of South Africa's deaf community have previously raised concerns about the interpreter, who has been used at other African National Congress events. South African sign language interpreter Francois Deysel added on Twitter that the interpreter was "making a mockery of our profession".
