YWCA Southern Arizona CEO Kelly Fryer is stepping down after six years with the organization dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

One of 1992’s most enduring rap songs is House of Pain’s “Jump Around,” which still gets the kids bouncing to this day. It was a standout moment on producer DJ Muggs’ incredible run (1992 sat right in the middle of Cypress Hill’s classic first two albums), a run which also included a little-known gem he made for Ice Cube in 1992 called “Check Yo Self”—perhaps you’ve heard of it? While Dre and Muggs were forging the apocalyptic West Coast sound, Pete Rock was perfecting the peaceable East Coast alternative, reaching an early high-water mark in his career with the jazz-harvesting Mecca and the Soul Brother that he released with collaborator CL Smooth (an album that contains one of the greatest beats of all time). Meanwhile, the Bronx’s Diamond D was creating a body of work in an originalist style with the Diggin’ in the Crates Crew, including his heralded debut, Stunts, Blunts & Hip Hop. —Ben Westhoff

It took just a few listens of Late Registration to hear that Kanye had not only orchestrated his second classic solo album in a row (thanks in part to actual orchestrations from Jon Brion), but also his second classic of the year. Along with a dozen other choice tracks he spearheaded over the course of 2005, Kanye proved why he’s the only artist with the skill and dexterity to comfortably occupy real estate on both Complex’s Best Rapper Alive and Best Hip-Hop Producer Alive lists—multiple times, at that.

Meanwhile, Mother Theresa would be doing her best Steve McQueen impersonation, ploughing her motorbike into the barbed wire in a doomed third attempt at a meaningful escape.

Like most DJI products, the Osmo Pocket has a range of other interesting features. You can do both time-lapse and motion-lapse (where the camera moves slowly during the time lapse), although you’ll want to make sure you have the Osmo Pocket securely mounted before you set it down and wander away. There are also a couple of ways to take low-light shots: either the traditional long exposure coupled with stabilization, or a Night Shot mode that mimics the similar modes on some recent flagship phones.

In fact, if you consider every quality that has made gold a historic store of value, Bitcoin beats it across the board. There is only one thing that continues to make gold the favourite investment vehicle of the two and that is its historical precedence as a store of value. Being as it has been a fixture of human history for literally thousands of years, attitudes towards the asset are well and truly entrenched.

FAIR@Link also features a Door Management System, where time slots are booked for the delivery of goods to the air freight centre, enabling the delivery company and the handling partner of the airline to coordinate schedules for the delivery of goods.

Hikers will tell you this is an easy one. It’s also an ancient and awesome one. Kumeyaay have been coming up here to observe the winter solstice (“solstice” means “sun standing still”) for millennia. It’s a 30-40 minute walk up the Cowles Mountain trail, just under a mile, until you hook right off the main track and head for a small flat area on the south ridge of the mountain. Get here around 6:30 am. You won’t be alone. Ask around for where to look and where to stand. If you’re in the right position, the rising sun will be split into two laser beams of light by a distant boulder summit. It’s an awesome beginning for a new year. Good group to go with: San Diego Natural History Museum Canyoneers.

He’d legged it up north to be photographed doing a silly dance alongside the statue of Eric Morecambe. Presumably, because he’s always been in favour of leaving the EU, despite what he says for public consumption.

And SXSW 2019 was no different. In fact, in our five years of covering the annual film fest via pre-show previews — and two years of being on the ground — this edition (which concludes on March 17th) has been one of the stronger years regarding the 24 Beats programming. Below are eight highlights from the sidebar that blew us away; we’re not counting Amazing Grace, as it’s played a few brief runs already (and will get an official release on April 5th) or Carmine Street Guitars, which we previously saw at Toronto and have already written about. (That one hits theaters on April 24th, and should be seen by any means necessary.)
