He is the son of jazz percussionist, Mor Thiam. He was born in St. Louis, Missouri but grew up in Senegal until he was seven. He split time between Senegal and the U.S. until he was fifteen, then his family permanently moved to Jersey City, New Jersey and as such he speaks English, French, and Wolof.

* High school graduation rates for women (ages 25 years and older) continued to exceed those of men, 85.4 percent and 84.9 percent, respectively. On the other hand, men had a greater proportion of the population with a bachelor’s degree or higher (28.9 percent compared with 26.5 percent of women).

October 13, 2007
Save the Earth: LED string lighting uses approximately 90% less energy than standard incandescent string lights. An average sized Christmas tree illuminated with incandescent string lighting for a 30 day period will consumer approximately 75kW of energy. The same tree illuminated with LED string lighting for the same period will use only 7.5kW of energy. This is an energy savings of 68.5 kW of electricity per year for a single Christmas tree. The energy savings even more significant for the many homes who decorate extensively with string lighting.
In addition to the energy savings offered by LED mini lights lighting, the product is also a more earth-friendly because of its long life-cycle. HolidayLEDs LED string lighting will last for 50,000 hours or more. This means that the average household will need to replace and dispose of their Christmas lighting much less often, decreasing waste.
Save your Family: LED string lighting produces very little heat and remains cool to the touch even after hours of operation. As a result, LED lights are much safer to operate in close proximity to combustible materials such as Christmas trees. This is because LED technology directly creates light simply the movement of electricity through the circuit. Very little heat is produced.
In contrast, an incandescent lamp creates light by moving electricity through a conductive material which creates electrical resistance. The resistance of the conductive material creates heat which in turn produces light. Simply put, an incandescent lamp produces heat and light is merely a by-product of the process.
From 2000 to 2004 the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reported that Christmas trees, both natural and artificial, were the first item ignited in 300 of the reported home fires. These fires cause 14 civilian deaths, 21 injuries, and $16.5 million in property damage. These figures are especially significant when one considers that the average Christmas tree is only illuminated for a maximum period of 30 days each year.

October 13, 2007
When you type in something in a search engine say Google for example, have you ever wondered why the #1 result is there and what is the difference between the first result for your search query as say 10 million other results all linking to an article on a possibly different website. As the CEO of a search engine optimization company, I will tell you the reason.
For all search engines, content is the king. If your article has the answer to a question being asked, more than likely your website would rank among the top results. But what is the difference between a #10 search result and a #1 result even though both might have the answer to the query. The difference is keyword optimization and link building which comes with trust from other websites in your site. Finally, the site with the #1 result could have a smart webadmin who probably employed a SEO firm to help him rank high in search engines.
Why is ranking high important? Well, for starters it brings in traffic as research has shown that people do not click beyond the 2nd page for most part when they search for something on a search engine.
