50 Cent is a renowned rapper known for incorporating R&B into his music and collaborating with other artists. He grew up surrounded by gang violence in South Jamaica, New York and began dealing drugs as a teenager. Despite being shot nine times in a 2000 incident, 50 Cent went on to find mainstream success with his 2003 debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin' which broke sales records. While his early music and image portrayed a "gangsta" lifestyle, he was living the reality of growing up in a crime-ridden environment and drawing inspiration from his struggles.

Node.js Anti-Patterns and bad practicesIgor Soarez
Talk delivered at Node.js Live Paris http://live.nodejs.org/events/paris.html
As Node continues to go from strength to strength, being widely adopted not only within the startup community but more and more by the Enterprise community, a number of anti-patterns are beginning to emerge. This talk focuses on the strengths of JavaScript in the Enterprise by trying to isolate the anti-patterns that are slowly beginning to emerge.
STEMEC is a software for complete mechanical design of shell and tube heat exchangers according to ASME VIII div. 1 and TEMA, including tubesheet calculation to UHX part, calculation of weights and evaluation of material costs based on the material prices stored in the data base. The software includes also an optional module allowing the calculation of workshop hours by means of customizable tables providing times and prices for all the possible shop operations. Another option of the program allows the generation of a drawing (including setting plan, scantling drawing and tubesheet layout). The optional interface with the H.T.R.I. program Xist for thermal design of shell & tube heat exchangers permits to carry out complete mechanical design starting from the results of the thermal calculation

Abstract
Compton backscattering gamma ray beams are characterized by a high degree of linear and circular polarization with low unpolarized backgrounds and have proven to provide very precise measurements of polarization observables. Latest results from LEGS and GRAAL experiments on proton and deuteron targets are presented. The Σ beam asymmetry for ω photoproduction has been measured by the GRAAL collaboration for both the ω→π0γ and the ω→π+π-π0 decay channels on the proton target; single and double polarization asymmetries have been provided also for the K photoproduction channel. E and G double polarization asymmetries for single pion photoproduction on the proton and deuteron have been measured at LEGS using a frozen spin HD target.
Presentation by Jared Jageler, David Adler, Noelia Duchovny, and Evan Herrnstadt, analysts in CBO’s Microeconomic Studies and Health Analysis Divisions, at the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists Summer Conference.
ZGB - The Role of Generative AI in Government transformation.pdfSaeed Al Dhaheri
This keynote was presented during the the 7th edition of the UAE Hackathon 2024. It highlights the role of AI and Generative AI in addressing government transformation to achieve zero government bureaucracy
This session provides a comprehensive overview of the latest updates to the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly known as the Uniform Guidance) outlined in the 2 CFR 200.
With a focus on the 2024 revisions issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), participants will gain insight into the key changes affecting federal grant recipients. The session will delve into critical regulatory updates, providing attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate and comply with the evolving landscape of federal grant management.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the rationale behind the 2024 updates to the Uniform Guidance outlined in 2 CFR 200, and their implications for federal grant recipients.
- Identify the key changes and revisions introduced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the 2024 edition of 2 CFR 200.
- Gain proficiency in applying the updated regulations to ensure compliance with federal grant requirements and avoid potential audit findings.
- Develop strategies for effectively implementing the new guidelines within the grant management processes of their respective organizations, fostering efficiency and accountability in federal grant administration.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

2. What is my
genre?
Who have I
chosen to
track?
Why have I
chosen this
artist?
My genre is RnB. I have chosen to look at an artist who incorporates
RnB into their work by featuring other artists. I have decided to take
a look at the life of 50 Cent. I have chosen this artist because he is a
particularly interesting artist because when he writes songs about
drugs and lifestyle he isn’t making it up when he relates it to his life.
He is the real deal and was genuinely involved in this aspect as he
started his music career. He is the legitimate deal as they say. I
found it interesting how despite the struggles in his life he managed
to become one of the most successful artists in his generation.
3. How has 50
Cents image
changed
over time as
he got
older?
The artist 50 Cent is living proof that rhythm is as much a lifestyle as it is a type of music. He was a low
key mix-tape star for several years, but the rest of the world did not hear about him until 2002, when
his first single, "Wan*sta," appeared as part of the soundtrack of the film 8 Mile. In 2003, 50 Cent's
debut album Get Rich or DieTryin', topped the charts and broke sales records.The young rapper was
constantly in the press, and his life became an open book which intrigued millions of fans.To people’s
surprises he was not a "studio gangsta," which is an artist who makes up stories about drugs, violence,
and murder in order to sell records. 50 Cent was the real deal. He grew up on the streets of NewYork.
He somehow survived being shot at nine times, and used all of these experiences to inspire his songs.
As a result, critics mentioned that his music had an edge, and they predicted that 50 Cent would be
the next big thing.
Born Curtis Jackson, 50 Cent grew up in South Jamaica, in a tough neighbourhood, filled with gang
violence, it is also the birthplace of many artists, including LL Cool J (1968–) and the female trio Salt N'
Pepa. Fifty Cent was surrounded by violence from the day he was born. His mother, Sabrina Jackson,
was fifteen years old when he was born on July 6, 1976. She turned to dealing drugs in order to
support her son, and eventually became one of the most feared drug dealers in Queens. Sabrina was
killed mysteriously when her son was eight, perhaps the result of a drug war.
Fifty Cent was raised by his grandmother, whom he adored. Because she had nine other children in her
charge, he spent a good deal of time on the streets. By the time he was twelve, he was dealing crack,
a strong form of cocaine that is smoked.As 50 Cent explained he did not want to burden his
grandmother: "I didn't want to ask her for a pair of Air Jordan's when I knew she couldn't afford them,
so I began working to get my stuff and not stress her out."
At age fifteen, 50 Cent bought his first gun, and by nineteen years old he was the neighbourhood drug
kingpin, bringing in about $150,000 a month. He had dropped out of high school and was spending
most of his time in jail; 50 Cent was also listening to his favourite musicians, including KRS-1, Rakim,
and Run-DMC, and trying his hand at writing his own rhymes. He dreamed about breaking into the
music business but was not sure he should give it a try. When his son, Marquise, was born, 50 Cent
knew it was time to make a change: he decided to stop dealing drugs and start making music.
4. 50Cent said
this quote
fuelled his
music:
"The bottom line is,
the obstacles that
you overcome are
going to determine
how great you are."
