    Biography Mark Ronson is an internationally renowned DJ and five-time-Grammy-Award-winning and Golden Globe-winning artist and producer. Ronson spent the first eight years of his life growing up in London, England. Having played guitar and drums from an early age, it wasn't until moving to New York City following his parents’ divorce, that he discovered DJ culture. At age 16, and already a fan of artists like A Tribe Called Quest, Run DMC and the Beastie Boys, Ronson began listening to mixtapes released by various hip hop DJs. Inspired, Ronson confiscated his step-father's vinyl collection and tried his hand at mixing. It was the first step in a career highlighted by work on a multi Grammy-winning album by Amy Winehouse, as well as his own Grammy-winning, global smash hit with Bruno Mars, "Uptown Funk." In the late 1990s into the early 2000s, the New York club scene was percolating with booming hip-hop and glitzy R&B. Ronson quickly earned himself a reputation through stints on the decks in downtown clubs before becoming the DJ of choice for many noteworthy parties. Hip-hop mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs hired Ronson to DJ his fabled 29th birthday bash. These and other high-profile gigs boosted Ronson's profile and connected him with other artists, many of whom were interested in collaborating. His first production gig came from British soul singer Nikka Costa and he found that his experience of working a club crowd informed his production skills. Fusing his eclectic turntable skills with his knowledge of musical instruments and songwriting, Ronson soon embarked on his first solo record.

    NONVIOLENCE NEWS February - April 2017 Issue 3.4 ISSN: 2202-9648 Women of Action in Nonviolence I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Nonviolence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could. ‐Mahatma Gandhi February 2016 | Non-Violence News | 1 President’s Page Women and Action in Nonviolence As Mahatma Gandhi said nonviolence is tool of strong not the weak. It requires strong will, self‐restraint and endurance power. Practicing Nonviolence is bravery at its peak. Women for Gandhi were embodiment of virtues like knowledge, humility, tolerance, sacrifice and faith. Mahatma Gandhi says “Woman is the incarnation of ahimsa. Ahimsa means infinite love, which again means infinite capacity for suffering”. And “Woman is more fitted than man to make explorations and take bolder action in ahimsa (nonviolence)”. “Woman is the embodiment of sacrifice and suffering and her advent to public life should, therefore, result in purifying it, in restraining unbridled ambition and accumulation of property”. “I first learned the concepts of non‐violence in my marriage.” In Gandhi’s opinion (as is tenet of the ancient Vedic wisdom) woman is the companion of man, gifted with equal mental capacities; she has right to participate in the very minutest details in the activities of man and she has an equal right of freedom and liberty with him. She is entitled to a supreme place in her sphere of activity as man is in his. Women, Gender, and Nonviolence in Political Movements ‐ Karen Beckwith, The College of Wooster: Although the ties between women’s rights movements and nonviolence have been deep and enduring” (Costain 2000, 175), women’s movements are not the only movements to rely upon nonviolent collective action.
