Additionally, the free Essence Empowerment Experience in the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center has added a tribute to Gospel stars Fred Hammond and Mary Mary on Sunday, July 8, the final day of the festival.
Scheduled participants in the tribute include Yolanda Adams – who is also slated to perform at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival presented by Shell – Pastor Marvin Winans, Bishop Lester Love, Maurette Brown Clark, Tramaine Hawkins, Kim Burrell, Israel Houghton, Byron Cage and Tyronne Foster & the Arc Singers.
Eve, Glasper, Clark and Boyd are all Essence first-timers. They’ll join such previously announced acts as Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blige, Charlie Wilson, Fantasia, Ledisi, Stephanie Mills and Keyshia Cole.
Tickets for the nighttime music festival in the Dome, July 6 to 8, are on sale now through Ticketmaster.

You are a poor junior professor of computer science and are short of cash.. A computer magazine offers you a steady side job writing. one short article a month for three years. 36 months. The catch is the editor wants you to write about. the 12 different types of computer programing languages. And the 12 different types of computer tasks.. And the 12 different types of computer programmers.. . Before you get your first check the editor wants 3 lists of 12 types.. . So have a slice of wonder bread (builds strong bodies twelve ways) and. make a list of the 12 different types of computer programmers.. . Note: the other two lists are posted as similar, but separate questions..

But for net surfing, statement processing, and a lot other common computer functions they are just great, provided you can’t mind the screen size. Thanks for sharing your thinking.
