Select Wallpaper Uk Biography.
Cassidy, a.k.a. "Tha Problem" was born Barry Adrian Reese in 1982 in Philadelphia, USA. He rose to prominence as a battle rapper and started appearing on many mixtapes, and was also a member of the hip-hop crew Larceny. Cassidy is known for his superb freestyling ability. He first came into national attention after battling the Roc-a-Fella rapper, Freeway. The studio session made its way to the streets and the internet, where interest in Cassidy grew. Cassidy is an example of how battling can still turn an unknown artist to a well-known personality. "I'm so nice I'd bet my life, I guess I got a gamblin' problem," says Cassidy.
  As a pure lyricist cut from the same cloth as Rakim, Big Daddy Kane and Nas, the 20-year old Cassidy honed his abilities in ciphers and battles all over his native Philadelphia and New York. He has yet to lose. "I’ve been rhyming all my life," states Cassidy. "Rhyming for me was just like how some people play basketball for the fun of it. It’s an everyday activity." "He’s just young and hungry," adds Swizz Beats. "He can freestyle for hours, but he also has a large vocabulary."
   Cassidy started taking rap music seriously in 1996. In junior high school, Cassidy battled for fun while turning to the streets to economically keep himself afloat. After being challenged by a friend to take rapping seriously, Cassidy assigned himself to battling the champion of "The Cipher" show on Philadelphia station 103.9 FM. Cipher host Zulu soon crowned Cassidy the new champion. "I was winning the battles week after week," states Cassidy. There was good competition, but being challenged is exciting to me."
  And when callers would cheer me on that’s when I started taking this thing [recording rap music] serious." Cassidy’s victories on the Cipher caught the attention of Delfonics founder and lead singer William Hart, who wanted to break into the rap game. "We recorded a few songs for a demo," Cassidy remembers, "but it didn’t amount to anything as far as getting a deal. It did give me studio experience however." One year later, a chance meeting in a Philly barbershop with Swizz’s father, Terrance Dean ; who was working with his brothers’ Dee and Wah Ruff Ryders label, brought Cassidy to the Ruff Ryder family. "I was 16," remembers Cassidy, "and this dude came in talking about he worked with Ruff Ryders and wanted to hear me rap, so after the shop closed I spit a verse. Then I just started spitting for an hour and some change. He took my number down and said he would get with me.

Then I just started spitting for an hour and some change. He took my number down and said he would get with me.
  Two days later, I was in class and my mom paged me and asked me if I met someone for Ruff Ryders because they wanted me to come out to New York today. I was in 11th grade." Cassidy made the trip to New York with fellow rhymers Shizz Lansky and Cal Akbar and they were signed to Ruff Ryders together as a group, Larceny, on Swizz's own 'Full Surface' label distributed through J Records. Though not really a group, the trio recorded almost twenty songs before being put on the shelf because of the large roster Ruff Ryders had accumulated. For two years, Cassidy watched from the sidelines while occasionally performing ghostwriting duties or making guest appearances on mix tapes and songs for Ruff Ryders Ryde or Die Compilation 2 and 3, and Nas remix of "The General" featuring Fat Joe. When Swizz Beats got the green light for Full Surface, he wanted Cassidy down with his team. "I knew he had talent," says Swizz. "I just want to give him his shot to show everybody what he can do.
  Cassidy then appeared on tracks by Snoop Dogg and Wyclef Jean. He recorded his debut album 'Split Personality' in the year 2003. The record is divided into three parts. The first part is credited to Cassidy and reflects his pop side, the second part is credited to "Tha Problem" and is aimed at fans of his mixtapes, and the third is credited to 'B. Reese' from fans from his early days. The album was released on March 16 2004 and was a huge success reaching #2 on the Billboard 200 album chart and #1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop albums chart.
  Cassidy recorded the track and lead single "Hotel" with R. Kelly in Kelly's Chicago studios with a vocal contribution by Kelly - there is also a version featuring vocals by Trina. The song became a hit reaching the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 in February 2004 and the top 5 of the UK charts in May 2004. The song has also reached the Australian top 40 in late May 2004. The second single "Get No Better" featured a contribution from labelmate Mashonda did not do as well on the singles charts reaching #82 on the Billboard Hot 100.
  Despite all this success, onn June 8th 2005, Cassidy's career looked like it was about to grind to a hault as a warrant for Cassidy's arrest was issued for the murder of a 22-year-old man during an April 15, 2005 shooting. Cassidy's attorney responded to the warrant stating that he expected his client to surrender on the morning of June 17, 2005.
  MTV News has reported that three men, including Cassidy, were armed with .45 and .40 caliber handguns, 9 mm pistols, AK47 assault rifles and 7.62 mm rifles, fired on three other men during an hostile argument that occurred in the rapper's West Oak Lane neighborhood in Northwest Philadelphia just before 1 a.m. on April 15, 2005. One of the other men was Lebanese. It is likely that he lives in Detroit or Windsor, Canada because of fast access to the border.
  As the case was taking place Cassidy then released his sophomore album, "I'm a Hustla", on June 28, 2005 on Swizz Beatz's J-affiliated Full Surface label. His latest hit, I'm A Hustla, features a sample in the chorus from Jay-Z's Dirt Off Your Shoulder. The album was a step up from his successful debut and proved his skills with the pen and the mic even truer than before, with this more grimey and street feel than previous. Cassidy is also featured on the latest edition of the Ruff Ryders album on the track "Aim 4 the Head" featuring Jin and J-Hood.
   Cassidy's murder case took a turn when the primary witness withdrew his confession, stating, "I only told the police what they wanted to hear, because they wouldn't let me leave, and I had a bullet in my leg." This resulted in the Judge stating that Cassidy would only have to stand trial for a 3rd degree murder. On August 16, 2005, Municipal Judge Marsha Neifield ruled that prosecutors had sufficient evidence to charge Cassidy with third-degree murder, attempted murder charges, and weapons offenses. This was later overturned to the original, first degree charge - negating the possibility of parole.
On January 25, 2006 Cassidy was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and aggravated assault. He was sentenced to 11Ѕ to 23 months in jail and was credited with the 7 months he had already served. Cassidy was then released from jail March 2, 2006 after serving eight months.

Wallpaper For Walls Uk Biography.
 Nasir Jones, or to give his his full birth name, Nasir Bin Olu Dara Jones, is more commonly referred to as 'Nas'. He was born on September 14, 1973 in Long Island City, and raised by his father, jazz musician Olu Dara, and his late mother Ann Jones. Nas came of age in the notoriously rough Queensbridge Projects, also hone to legends such as Marley Marl and The Juice Crew. With lyrics and beats virually built into the QB's concrete walls, Nas had soaked up his talents from such influences before he was old enough to put pen to paper. So it was only a matter of time before this young boy would ettempt to wow the crowds on his own!
   Nas dropped out of school in the eighth grade, trading classrooms for the streets. Despite dropping out of school, Nas developed a high degree of literacy that would later characterize his rhymes. At the same time, though, he delved into street culture and flirted with danger, such experiences similarly characterizing his rhymes.
   His synthesis of well-crafted rhetoric and street-glamorous imagery blossomed in 1991 when he connected with Main Source and laid down a fiery verse on "Live at the Barbeque" that earned him instant respect among the East Coast rap scene. Not long afterward, MC Serch of 3rd Bass approached Nas about contributing a track to the Zebrahead soundtrack. Serch was the soundtrack's executive producer and, like much of New York, had been impressed by "Live at the Barbeque." Nas submitted "Halftime," and the song so stunned Serch that he made it the soundtrack's leadoff track.
   The music industry started to pay attention to what the underground scene already knew, and Nas was quickly signed up to Columbia Records on a major-label contract, and many of New York's finest producers offered their support. DJ Premier, Large Professor, Q-Tip, and Pete Rock (NY's top producers in the early '90s) entered the studio with the young rapper and began work on his first solo effort, 'Illmatic'. When Columbia finally released Nas' Illmatic album in April 1994, it faced high expectations; Illmatic regardless proved just as astounding as it had been billed. It sold very well, spawned multiple hits, and earned unanimous acclaim. Nas was been anointed as rap's savior. With cuts form the album including "N.Y. State Of Mind", and "It Aint Hard To Tell", providing the gritty but thoughtful soundtrack to the life on NY's mean streets. 'Illmatic' became on instant classic.
   Nas handled nearly every rhyme and never seemed short on lyrics. Years later, Illmatic is still seen as featuring some of the best lyrics hip-hop ever produced. To call Nas a street poet wasn't an overstatement, but rather a matter of fact. Even if the album didn't storm up the Billboard charts, it garnered the respect of every hip-hop devotee in New York and that was quite an accomplishment, particularly for someone just having reached his twenties. Following up Illmatic wouldn't be an easy task and rather than try and top that album, Nas expanded his approach for his next release.
   Nas was also gaining attention from Hip Hop's biggest artists at that time, most notalby, Tupac Shakur, aka 2Pac, but for all the wrong reasons. Tupac believed Nas was rapping about his life and not his own, from what he'd read or seen about 2Pac in the media, and that Nas was profiting of Tupac's life, which labelled Nas a fake. Tupac also lyrically attacked / denounched Nas on various tracks. But, Nas carried on and the two years leading up to Nas' follow-up album, "It Was Written" (released in 1996), brought another wave of enormous anticipation. The ambitious rapper, who had begun working closely with industry heavyweight Steve Stoute, and also Dre Dre, responded with a significantly different approach than he had taken with "Illmatic": where that album had been a straightforward hip-hop album with few pop concessions, the largely Trackmaster-produced "It Was Written" made numerous concessions to the pop crossover market, most notably on the two hit singles, "Street Dreams" and "If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)." These singles -- both of which drew from well-known songs, Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" and Kurtis Blow's "If I Ruled the World," respectively -- broadened Nas' appeal greatly and awarded him the MTV-sanctioned crossover success he sought.
   Around this point in the late '90s, Nas nonetheless reigned atop the rap scene alongside few contemporaries in the wake of the murder of Tupac Shakur, and the murder of Notorious B.I.G., currently the undisputed kings of Hip Hop. Nas the took anopther huge step, this time into acting, popularly co-starring in the Hype Williams-directed film "Belly" (1998) alongside fellow rapper DMX and contributed to the soundtrack.

Modern Wallpaper Designs Uk Biography.
By 1942 Alan Turing was the genius loci at Bletchley Park, famous as 'Prof', shabby, nail-bitten, tie-less, sometimes halting in speech and awkward of manner, the source of many hilarious anecdotes about bicycles, gas masks, and the Home Guard; the foe of charlatans and status-seekers, relentless in long shift work with his colleagues, mostly of student age. To one of these, Joan Clarke, he proposed marriage, and was gladly accepted. But then he retracted, telling her of his homosexuality.
Turing crossed the Atlantic in November 1942, for highest-level liaison not only on the desperate U-boat Enigma crisis, but on the electronic encipherment of speech signals between Roosevelt and Churchill. Before his return in March 1943, logical weaknesses in the changed U-boat system had been brilliantly detected, and U-boat Enigma decryption was effectively restored for the rest of the war. With the battle of the Atlantic regained for the Allies, crisis resolved, chess champion C. H. O'D. Alexander, hitherto Turing's deputy, took charge of Hut 8.
Turing became an all-purpose consultant to the by now vast Bletchley Park operation. As such he saw the 'Fish' material cracked by the Colossus machines, brought into operation just before D-Day, demonstrating the feasibility of large-scale digital electronic technology. Turing himself devoted much time to learning electronics: ostensibly for creating his own, elegant speech secrecy system, which he effected with the aid of one assistant, Donald Bayley, at nearby Hanslope Park. But he had another and more ambitious end in view: in the last stage of the war (for his part in which he was awarded an OBE) he planned the embodiment of the Universal Turing Machine in electronic form, or in effect, invented the digital computer.
In 1944, at the invasion of Normandy that Allied control of the Atlantic allowed, Alan Turing was almost uniquely in possession of three key ideas:
his own 1936 concept of the universal machine
the potential speed and reliability of electronic technology
the inefficiency in designing different machines for different logical processes.
Combined, these ideas provided the principle, the practical means, and the motivation for the modern computer, a single machine capable of handling any programmed task. He himself was as eager as anyone in the world to bring them together, and was spurred even more by a fourth idea: that the universal machine should be able to acquire and exhibit the faculties of the human mind. Even in 1944 he spoke to Donald Bayley of 'building a brain'.
Turing was captivated by the potential of the computer he had conceived. Although his 1936 work had shown the absolute limitations of the computable, he had become fascinated by what Turing machines could do, rather than by what they could not. He had long abandoned his youthful expectations of finding free will or free spirits through quantum mechanics. His later thought was strongly determinist and atheistic in character. And by the end of the Second World War he had turned against the tentative idea that there were steps of 'intuition' in human thought corresponding to uncomputable operations. Instead, he held that the computer would offer unlimited scope for practical progress towards embodying intelligence in an artificial form.
For the second time, he experienced being pre-empted by a parallel American publication, in this case the EDVAC plan for an electronic computer, with Von Neumann's name attached. Nonetheless, this publication when it appeared in June 1945 worked in practice to Turing's advantage, American competition stimulating the National Physical Laboratory to plan a rival project, to which he was appointed a Senior Principal Scientific Officer. Turing despised his nominal superior J. Womersley, but at least initially this applied mathematician showed a rapid appreciation of the scope of Turing's ideas, and with a eye for acronyms steered Turing's design towards formal approval in early 1946 as the Automatic Computing Engine, or ACE.

Paisley Wallpaper Uk Biography.
Walter Crane was born in Liverpool on 15th August, 1845. Walter's father, Thomas Crane, was a moderately successful artist. In 1851 the family moved to London with the hope that this would provide Crane with more clients. Unfortunately, just as business was improving, Thomas Crane died.
Soon after his father's death Walter Crane obtained an apprenticeship at William Linton's engraving shop. William Linton had been a member of the Chartist movement in the 1840s and his stories of the struggle for parliamentary reform, had an important influence on Crane's early political development.
Linton was impressed by the quality of Crane's work and helped to find him commissions. This included providing the illustrations for J. R. Wise's book on the New Forest. Crane went to live with Wise for six weeks while he was working on the pictures. J. R. Wise had radical political and religious opinions and introduced Crane to the work of John Stuart Mill, Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Ruskin.
In 1865 Walter Crane saw Work, a painting by Ford Madox Brown, at an art gallery in Piccadilly. The picture, shows the historian, Thomas Carlyle, and the leader of the Christian Socialist movement, F. D. Maurice, observing a group of men working. The painting marked an important development in British art because for the first time an artist had decided that a working man was a subject worth painting. Although Brown's painting did not immediately influence Crane's work, it had a profound impact on his long-term career.
In the 1860s Crane began to take an active interest in politics. He was a supporter of the Liberal Party and some of their more radical politicians such as John Bright, Henry Fawcett and William Gladstone and campaigned for the 1867 Reform Act. Crane gradually developed socialistic views and spoke out in favour of the Communards who attempted to overthrow the French government in 1871.
Walter Crane's reputation as an artist continued to grow and was recognised as a talented book illustrator. In the 1870s Crane mainly worked on children's books but he also had paintings accepted by the Royal Academy and had several exhibitions in London Art Galleries.
Crane first met William Morris in 1870 but did not become close friends until 1881. The two men both deplored the effects of modern manufacturing and the commercial system of craftsmanship and design. Deeply influenced by Morris's pamphlet Art & Socialism, Crane became involved in both the Art Workers' Guild and the Arts and Crafts Society. Like Morris, Crane created designs for wallpapers, printed fabrics, tiles and ceramics.
Crane and Morris were both socialists and in January 1884 they joined the Social Democratic Federation. Crane contributed illustrations for the party journal Justice that was edited by Henry Hyde Champion. Crane, like Morris, found the SDF's leader, H. H. Hyndman, difficult to work with. Crane shared Hyndman's Marxist beliefs, but objected to Hyndman's nationalism and the dictatorial methods he used to run the party.
