TUPAC LIVES!

 

Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg Shock The Audience at Coachella By Performing on Stage with a Tupac Hologram, and The Business of "Live Concert Performance" May Never Be The Same Again!

Call it "Resurrection Rap!"

Tupac Shakur appeared on stage and performed two songs at the Coachella music festival on Sunday night, as the high-definition projection of the gangsta rap icon appeared with Snoop and Dre in a remarkable, stunning end to the first weekend of the annual music festival in California, setting off a wild reaction of shock and awe as thousands in the crowd gasped as the shirtless Tupac, who was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in 1996, rose up on the stage.

Amazingly life-like, all the way down to his signature tattoos, Timberland boots and bling, the Tupac hologram owned the stage, swapping phrases with Snoop Dogg and performing 2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted, Hail Mary, and Gangsta Party.

The stunt was the vision of long-time friend Dre, who sought permission from Tupac’s mother before commissioning the San Diego company AV Concepts, with the help of James Cameron’s Oscar-winning digital production company Digital Domain, to recreate him.

"We worked with Dr Dre on this and it was Dre’s vision to bring this back to life," Nick Smith, president of AV Concepts, told MTV. ‘‘It was his idea from the very beginning and we worked with him and his camp to utilize the technology to make it come to life."

Digital Domain is behind the digitally altered images of Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Jeff Bridges in TRON: Legacy, and Rooney Mara in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

A spokeswoman for Tupac’s mother, Afeni Shakur, told TMZ that she was ‘‘thrilled’’ with the latest recreation, although the experience was bittersweet. She did not attend Coachella but watched the performance live online.

The stunt set social media ablaze, with Tupac trending worldwide on Twitter and his name mentioned at least 40 times a minute. Rihanna, who was at the show, tweeted: ‘‘#TupacBACK #unbelievable #IWASTHERE #STORY4myGrandKidz.’’

Wow:Company Forces Employees To Wear Diapers At Work

A Korean and American capital company in Honduras is being accused by union leaders and former employees of forcing its workers to wear diapers in order to increase their productivity. Company representatives have denied the allegations but an investigation is already under way.

Last Saturday, Daniel Duron, Secretary General of the General Confederation of Workers, denounced the violation of labor rights by Kyungshin-Lear Honduras Electrical Distribution Systems, accusing the company of forcing its employees to wear adult diapers to avoid going to the bathroom for their physiological needs.

He added that the employer doesn’t actually supply the diapers for its workforce, but that the employees, especially the women, buy them themselves to avoid leaving their work posts and risk losing their jobs. Duron based his accusations on testimonies made by Kyungshin-Lear employees and urged authorities to investigate.

Honduran Labor Minister, Jorge Bográn, told reporters that 30 inspectors are currently working on the case to verify the “accuracy of the claim”. Edgardo Dumas, the legal representative of Kyungshin-Lear dismissed the accusations as false and reckless, and claimed the company has never violated labor law. The president of the Manufacturers’ Association of Honduras also told the press the allegations were false and blamed the interference of unions from the United States “who want to regain the jobs lost in their country”.

However, Maria Galeano, a worker who was fired in April after seven years of working at Kyungshin-Lear, confirmed Daniel Duron’s claims. “It’s embarrassing to say one has to wear diapers because they don’t give you permission to go to the bathroom, but there are a lot of employees who can confirm this claim,” she told reporters.

Kyungshin-Lear Electrical Distribution Systems started operating in Honduras 10 years ago, and has around 3,500 employees.

THE FIRST MADE IN NIGERIA CARS,BUS BY INNOSON

The youngest among six children, Chief (Dr) Innocent Ifediaso Chukwuma (OFR), was born into the family of Mr & Mrs Chukwuma Mojekwu of Uru-Umudim, Nnewi, in Anambra State, without the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth. But, what he lacked in affluent parental background, he made up for with intelligence, hard-work, discipline and business acumen – qualities that have continued to interplay remarkably in his many ventures.

In February 2007, Chukwuma embarked on what some analysts perceived then as a mission impossible, when it incorporated INNOSON Vehicle Manufacturing Company Limited (IVM), to produce sundry commercial automobiles, utility vehicles and passenger cars, in collaboration with a consortium of Chinese auto manufacturers.

With the public display of some of the vehicles at the 2nd Nnewi International Auto Trade Fair held at the Beverly Hills Hotels (Gabros Sports Complex) in the last quarter of 2009, IVM did not only silence the critics, but made a bold statement about its readiness to achieve the avowed mission of being the first (indigenous) auto maker to produce truly Nigerian vehicles that are affordable and reliable.

IVM is today a success story which has attracted effusive commendations and awards from various quarters, including the nation’s seat of power. While opening the plant on October 15, 2010, President Goodluck Jonathan not only hailed Chukwuma for the courage of venturing into an industry many ran away from, but also assured him of government’s patroage from the government.
