Juliani not only rose to the peak of the local music industry, but also pocketed Sh1 million cash reward during the Kisima Music Awards held at Kenyatta International Conference Centre on Friday night. This was the first time winners got cash rewards in a major music award in Kenya. The artiste born and raised in Nairobi’s Dandora estate promised to donate part of the cash to a youth project he was involved in. “I will donate part of the cash to our project Kama Si Sisi that seeks to train and equip young people with information on issues affecting them,” he said after beating music groups Sauti Soul and P Unit.

Apple tribute logo a Web hit | Today in Tech Credit: Jonathan Mak Long When Steve Jobs resigned from Apple in August, 7,000 miles away in Hong Kong, graphic design student Jonathan Mak Long, "shocked" by the CEO's departure, did what he knew best: He created a design to honor the Apple co-founder. The 19-year-old posted the image, the Apple logo with the bite changed to a profile of Jobs, to his Tumblr blog. Known as Jonathan Mak, he initially received about 80 notes on the image. Then word came this past Wednesday that Jobs had died, after a long battle with cancer. Speaking in fluent English (which he said he learned from watching the TV show "Friends"), the Polytechnic University School of Design student told Yahoo! The artist was inspired by the uncompromising personality of the creative genius. The cyber tribute that became a hit, and along with attracting media attention, the logo found itself as the preferred profile pic on Ashton Kutcher's Twitter account and on merchandise featured on eBay. graphic design student
Facebook Changes We'd Actually Want To See | Cool Material - StumbleUpon If you had a dollar for every person who posted their hatred of the new Facebook layout, you’d be able to give Mark Zuckerberg a run for his money. Okay that’s a guess, and most likely a wrong one, but you get our point. When Facebook made its most recent set of changes the Preteen Panic Meter hit “Justin Bieber Has A Girlfriend” levels, and while that demographic made the most noise (mostly high-pitched screams), we weren’t too crazy about the adjustments either. Here are the Facebook Changes We’d Actually Want To See:
Prohibition Prohibition of alcohol, often referred to simply as prohibition, is the legal act of prohibiting the manufacture, storage, transportation and sale of alcohol and alcoholic beverages. The term can also apply to the periods in the histories of the countries during which the prohibition of alcohol was enforced. History[edit] The Drunkard's Progress: A lithograph by Nathaniel Currier supporting the temperance movement, January 1846 The earliest records of prohibition of alcohol date back to the Xia Dynasty (ca. 2070 BC–ca. 1600 BC) in China. Yu the Great, the first ruler of the Xia Dynasty, prohibited alcohol throughout the kingdom.[1] It was legalized again after his death, during the reign of his son Qi. The first half of the 20th century saw periods of prohibition of alcoholic beverages in several countries: Asia[edit] Bangladesh[edit] In Bangladesh, alcohol is strictly prohibited due to its proscription in the Islamic faith. Brunei[edit] India[edit] Maldives[edit] Pakistan[edit] Philippines[edit]
Michael Jackson's Daughter Paris Wears "Thriller" Jacket at Tribute Concert - Stop The Presses! MichaelJackson may be gone, but he's certainly not forgotten. The King of Pop's three children -- Prince, 14, Paris, 13, and Blanket, 9 -- paid tribute to their late father at the Michael Forever concert in Cardiff, Wales Saturday. PHOTOS: Michael and his kids "We're very happy to be here on this special night to honor our father," said Paris, who wore a replica of her father's famous red and black leather jacket from his "Thriller" music video. Several performers took to the glove-shaped stage, including Christina Aguilera, Leona Lewis and Cee Lo Green. The Black Eyed Peas pulled out of the lineup earlier this week citing "unavoidable circumstances." PHOTOS: How Michael's face changed over the years Despite the current manslaughter trial involving Jackson's former doctor, Conrad Murray, the evening's performers chose to ignore the court case and focus on the singer's musical legacy. It's not about the controversy," Ne-Yo, who kicked off the show with a rendition of "Billie Jean," said.

Google Maps 6.5 gets a face-lift, adds public transit features | Mobile Google Maps for Android (download) got a nice face-lift and new features today, as it jumped to version 6.5. The first thing worth noting is that maps are now quite a bit crisper. While many users may not notice this, anyone with a high-pixel-density screen like that on the Galaxy Nexus or Droid Razr get to see much more clearly defined roads and higher color contrast on their maps. Also, Google rearranged map labels and reduced their size to create a less cluttered map view overall. If you have an Android device running Ice Cream Sandwich, then you'll be happy to know that you actually get a bit more of an update, in the form of a shiny new Navigation home screen. Lastly, Google Maps 6.5 didn't just step up its looks.
