EDITOR�S Thoughts To stand alone, to be unique not only in physicality, but in perception of who you are and what you are capable of doing... Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr, or as the world knew him as Muhammad Ali represented more than just a sport. He ignited a spark in many, challenged those in power and stood against injustices...

:BUSINESS 10 Tips for Improving Your Telephone Skills and Etiquette By Myron Curry
In this fast and furious age we live in, one of the more important issues being addressed in the workforce is a lack of effective and proper telephone skills and etiquette. How many times have you been upset or put off by a call center or business representative who had no telephone etiquette? This professional deficiency will create a negative perception of your business and cause a loss of customers and revenue. The following top 10 tips to improve telephone skills will help develop a positive and professional atmosphere with regard to your business:

It is unprofessional and the caller may misunderstand something they overhear. Once 2.

Speak precisely – the caller cannot see you to discern your facial expressions and it is therefore important you talk in a clear manner that is slightly slow with a positive effort.
4. Use proper language – do not swear or curse, stay away from slang words and improper language. It is offensive to many individuals and shows disrespect. 5. Use their proper name – never address the caller by their first name as this will impart a familiarity that does not exist. Always use their proper (last) name and title when addressing them. 6. Listen attentively – allow the caller to express their reasons for contacting you and listen to what they say. Restating what was said or repeating it back to them is a sign of a good listener. Plus it is always best to verify a message to ensure accuracy. 7. Patience is a virtue – allow the caller time to vent their frustrations. Do not engage your emotions and become rude or snappish. Remain calm and speak with a low and monotone voice in order to assuage the caller’s rage.
13/ Urban Tymes Magazine
10. Properly Identify who you are – make sure you tell the caller your name and your company’s name so that they know who is on the phone with them and that they have called the desired place of business. When leaving a message, be brief, to the point, and clearly state your name, the company you work for, the call back telephone number and the date and time of your call.

Smoking and COPD
What Is COPD? Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) refers to a group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems. COPD includes emphysema; chronic bronchitis; and in some cases, asthma. With COPD, less air flows through the airways—the tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs—because of one or more of the following:2,3 •The airways and tiny air sacs in the lungs lose their ability to stretch and shrink back. •The walls between many of the air sacs are destroyed. •The walls of the airways become thick and inflamed (irritated and swollen). •The airways make more mucus than usual, which can clog them and block air flow.
16/ Urban Tymes Magazine
In the early stages of COPD, there may be no symptoms, or you may only have mild symptoms, such as: •A nagging cough (often called "smoker's cough") •Shortness of breath, especially with physical activity •Wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe) •Tightness in the chest As the disease gets worse, symptoms may include: •Having trouble catching your breath or talking •Blue or gray lips and/or fingernails (a sign of low oxygen levels in your blood) •Trouble with mental alertness •A very fast heartbeat •Swelling in the feet and ankles •Weight loss
How severe your COPD symptoms are depends on how damaged your lungs are. If you keep smoking, the damage will get worse faster than if you stop smoking. Among 15 million U.S. adults with COPD, 39% continue to smoke. How Is Smoking Related to COPD? COPD is usually caused by smoking. Smoking accounts for as many as 8 out of 10 COPD-related deaths. However, as many as 1 out of 4 Americans with COPD never smoked cigarettes. Smoking during childhood and teenage years can slow how lungs grow and develop. This can increase the risk of developing COPD in adulthood. How Can COPD Be Prevented? The best way to prevent COPD is to never start smoking, and if you smoke, quit. Talk with your doctor about programs and products that can help you quit. Also, stay away from secondhand smoke, which is smoke from burning tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. Secondhand smoke also is smoke that has been exhaled, or breathed out, by a person smoking. How Is COPD Treated? Treatment of COPD requires a careful and thorough exam by a doctor. Quitting smoking is the most important first step you can take to treat COPD. Avoiding secondhand smoke is also critical. Other lifestyle changes and treatments include one or more of the following: •For people with COPD who have trouble eating because of shortness of breath or being tired: ◦Following a special meal plan with smaller, more frequent meals ◦Resting before eating ◦Taking vitamins and nutritional supplements
17/ Urban Tymes Magazine
•A broad program that helps improve the well-being of people who have chronic (ongoing) breathing problems and includes the following: ◦Exercise training ◦Nutritional counseling ◦Education on your lung disease or condition and how to manage it ◦Energyconserving techniques ◦Breathing strategies ◦Psychological counseling and/or group support •Medicines such as: ◦A bronchodilator to relax the muscles around the airways. This helps open airways and makes breathing easier. Most bronchodilators are taken with a device called an inhaler. ◦A steroid drug you inhale to reduce swelling in the airways. ◦Antibiotics to treat respiratory infections, if appropriate ◦A vaccination during flu season •Oxygen therapy, which can help people who have severe COPD and low levels of oxygen in their blood to breathe better •Surgery for people who have severe symptoms that have not improved with other treatments ◦Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS): Surgery to remove diseased parts of the lung so healthier lung tissue can work better. LVRS is not a cure for COPD. ◦A lung transplant: Surgery in which one or two healthy lungs from a donor are put in the patient’s body to replace diseased lungs. A lung transplant is a last resort. Even though there is no cure for COPD, these lifestyle changes and treatments can help you breathe easier, stay more active, and slow the progress of the disease. Courtesy of:

Dream Fulfilled: The Music of
CWspeaks Jahkoy’s arrival in Charlotte
NC to start his six city music tour was a path he in his own words has dreamed of all his life. There’s an energy that permeates from the young artist, reflecting his journey in music which started from mandatory violin lessons at age 11, then gravitating from poetry writings to raps. Jahkoy debut single Still in Love – the first song he recorded after he moved to LA, has gained over a million plays, amazing indeed for someone who seems to have just began in this game. Yet his insight about his journey and humility is light years ahead… Let’s talk to Jahkoy…. 24/ Urban Tymes Magazine
So how do you like our city? I like it cause its different from home, a new culture for me to adjust to; so I’m getting through the motions. So do you see the differences here more so than back home in Toronto? I feel like at home in Toronto, there’s a little bit more diversity, because Toronto is the most multi-cultural city in the world, besides New York. So coming from that world, there are so many different cultures, so many different traditions. In my surroundings, I absorb so much there having friends of different diversities you know. I feel there’s a lot to learn here, and I’m learning a lot! Cool, so what do you think about your opportunity with Def Jam now? Oh man, it’s a big opportunity! I mean, I grew up on Def Jam! From Def Jam Poetry to Def Jam Comedy, so it’s like Def Jam is my whole world, Its entirely me. To be a part of the family and to be of like history to come, it’s a great feeling. It almost like, when I came to the (Def Jam) office to do my deal, I was already at home, you know what I’m saying? I was just entering my home that was just waiting for me to come, like entering into paradise! Your brand of music, what do you say you bring to the music realm,
25/ Urban Tymes Magazine
because that very important. Many artists when they first come out, they have their own style or signature brand or sound. What can we expect from Jahkoy? What you can expect from Jahkoy, is music first and everything else after. The music is my profile, the music represent who I am, my feelings, and my personality…everything that belongs to me. And what I try to bring to the table is what I call Bipolar Sound. I try to eliminate all genres. Forget this label and that label..no such thing as R&B, no such thing as Hip Hop, Country, any genre. Music is Bipolar, if you deliver good music, its good music. It shouldn’t be labeled as this or that. Considering like now with technology and the generations to come, there’s so much fusion of music now. One of my favorite examples is Jay-Z, when Jay-Z and Linkin Park did that collaboration, it’s like you couldn’t call it Hip Hop and you couldn’t call it Rock, what could you call it? People are still waiting for a name to find out what that was. Me…I consider it Bipolar. It’s a collaboration, its two different worlds coming together to make good music, just good music, you know? The music is my expression; it’s however I’m feeling at the time. I’m going to bring it the best way I can.
Future collaborations? Rihanna! Rihanna is my future collaboration, one of my favorite artists of all time. She is an artist, Brandon with his lovely that I feel, besides Kanye West, daughters besides Pharrell, besides Andre 300, Rihanna is the artist that taps into the different worlds of music. She’s able to throw records like Disturbia, which is like Housey, and then do records likes Stay, which is like acoustic. Then do work, the Reggae. She’s not tying into one world, she’s doing everything, because she’s an artist! A painter doesn’t paint one picture, he paints many pictures, and those paintings represent many different things. They represent greatness, and try to do exactly just that …so that’s why Rihanna is my future collaboration!
URBANITY
Closing thoughts? I would say, in a time of doubt, never give up! I remember last year, I was on welfare. Last year I was struggling in LA trying to make it. I left Toronto with everything that I had, and I went to LA, I only knew one person in LA, and now I know a handful of people. To not be afraid to take risks, cause in life that’s all you got. You have to take risks because you never know what the outcome is gonna be. ‘With every struggle this is a gain, God willing! Stay positive, never give up!

Michael Jones
ART
On his commute to and from work in Southern California, Michael Jones would notice the graffiti sprayed onto the walls and the sides of buildings in the city. The words found in the street art he saw caused him to wonder how that type of art might be used to send more upbeat messages to the community that encountered it every day. What would happen if he tried his hand at making art that encouraged people to “Dream Bigger?” Michael is a self-taught artist who uses paint and discarded materials to create twodimensional and three-dimensional works. Reminiscent in style of the works of Jean- Michel Basquiat whose life was plagued by depression and a heroin addiction, Michael’s work instead celebrates how far mankind has advanced and the benefits found in its many achievements.

Calvin Richardson The Elements of His Music…. The Journey Continues:
by CWSpeaks
He was a “Country Boy” way past “2:35PM” He saw “Where Love Count” while examining “The Facts of Life” and became “America’s Most Wanted.”
To sit down and chat with Calvin Richardson was beyond words. As we talked, one could hear the apparent love he has for his craft, and the humility he has for his gift. Peppered with wisdom he’s gained over the years via collaborations with other artists and industry greats, he gives us insight on his ever growing journey in this thing called music. Sitting here with the Prince of Soul! Brother how are you? Man you know, I still try to stay grounded in truth, and speak about things that are relative to me, from the things that I’ve been through, and that I’ve dealt with. The lyrical content, I think for me is more important, the message I should say, is more important than the musical aspect of it. Although, I am a musician, so I love those elements that are required in order to make a song. But to I think a very well written song, can be sung a cappella and have the same effect, without the bed that it lies in, you understand what I’m sayin? That’s my approach, my theory on music; I apply it to whatever I do. 48/ Urban Tymes Magazine
You mentioned lyrical content, your recent single playing is hot, Hearsay, what was your concept when writing this? The title of the song is hearsay, things that you hear other people say. Where I was coming from with mine, is when you are in a relationship and the outside chatter, people that necessarily don’t want to see you do well and thrive in that relationship. And you know, they start saying thing about either of the individuals that are in the relationship, to other people that are not necessarily true, and that’s how rumors are spread. If you say it, it’s going to keep moving, if you say it to one individual, then it’s going to go from that individual to somebody else, then somebody else. It’s really about trying to focus on the things that strengthen a relationship and also highlighting the things that have the potential to break a relationship. That outside talk man!
sing ballads. There were others before and there will be others after me man, but I have my own thing. I stay true to who Calvin is and I haven’t waived, since coming into the game. That’s my takeaway; you gotta forever keep working man to stay in the game.
Whoa! Prince of Soul dropping knowledge to the masses about their relationships! Yeah man, I can go on, but we don’t want to stay on just that one subject (laughing) Right, right! Well, with you, you’ve had quite the tenure in the music game, I mean; you’ve been doing this for a while. You’ve had a lot of hills and a lot of valleys. What has been your greatest lesson or take away during your music career? Hmm…man…you know I realized that nothing is as it seems. You don’t always get what you expect, or get out of it what you put into it. I mean, whatever you put into it, there’s a whole lot more that needs to go along with it when it come to the work side of this. I have experienced some peaks, and a whole lot of valleys, but I came to the conclusion; that I have to work just as hard for myself as the company that I’m with, and even harder, to find success. I’m been nominated for Grammys numerous times, but that’s not success for me. I could have come out with one album, and won a Grammy, then it would be over, but I’ve been able to stay in the business for so long like you said, that’s my success. I think the reason why I’ve been able to find that success is because of the uniqueness I actually bring to the game. I’m not the first person with a soulful voice that can 49/ Urban Tymes Magazine
“..there’s the element of realness, and that element is that I tell my stories.”
Uncle Charlie (Charlie Wilson) gives mad accolades to your writing, as you co-wrote “There Goes My Baby.” Your music writing evokes a true story, let’s talk about that. It does man. Yes, I actually co-wrote that song with Darrell Simmons and Babyface. We wrote it together, a collaborative effort, it was my story and the melodic structure. Babyface is just great man, he is phenomenal and I learned so much from working with him. I was signed to Hollywood Records working on my second album and Babyface was the Executive Producer, he was over the whole project, and that was one of the songs we worked on. You gotta have a story, for me, you gotta have something to write about. Some people fantasize about it and make it up, and are very creative in that sense, but for me, there’s the element of realness, and that element is that I tell my stories. The things that I do, the things that I’ve done, or see. Things that I’m a part of, and it’s worked for me. Well we can tell. I see that currently you’re doing a lot of concerts, a cruise you are on; I mean the country boy is busy! The writing, the touring, but let’s talk about you doing all of that, and being a father as well. That’s true man, I had to pick my two year old up from school man, and he’s with me
That is something that I grew up without, and longed for. My mom and my dad were never together, my dad was never there. But with my children, I try to be the opposite of that. I want to be a positive role model for my kids, that’s why I’ve done the things I did in my career, I stayed the course as far as the messages I put out there, because at some point, I have kids now that listen to my music, and at some point they’re going to make reference to my music and ask, “what was my dad talking about,” you know? The things that we do are forever, so I try to make sure that they are good contributing citizens to the world that we live in. To be productive and to be good people. So I try to be a good example of that to them. What else will the Prince of Soul be a part of? Adding to his already impressive repertoire? Well, my first priority is music. I’m going to keep my hand in that, always writing and singing, I’m trying to do more writing for other individuals rather than just myself. The more people I’m able to put my message into their songs, get my words out there. Then the cruise, the More Than a Woman weekend Cruise, which is catering the women of the world, since they do so much for us. It my gift back to them. I’m just into keeping positivity out there and try to offset some the negativity out here. There’s so much power in music man!

Casual and Cool Blaze Fast Fired Pizza Exceptionally Surpasses Customers Requests Blaze Pizza is known as Fast-Casual Pizza, basically an assembly line concept where customers have the option to order from the menu of signature pizzas or “make your own. ” A creation of Elise and Rick Wetzel (founder of Wetzel's Pretzels), and featuring the talents of Executive Chef Bradford Kent (owner of LA’s top rated Olio Pizzeria and Café), Blaze Pizza is backed by a number of well-known investors including Maria Shriver, movie producer John Davis and Boston Red Sox co-owner Tom Werner. Per their press release, guests customize one of the menu’s signature pizzas or create one of their own, choosing from a wide selection of fresh, artisanal toppings -- most included for no extra charge. What's so cool is that each pizza is then baked in an open brick oven for about 2 to 3 minutes. Pizza comes out piping hot, not hard and with everything that you wanted! They also have various fresh salads made and ready to go! To learn more about this fresh concept, which may give the other pizza places a true “run for their money” visit: http://blazepizza.com
