Rated 2 out of 5 by OmaTx from Not what I expected I purchased this Wardrober to wear on our official day at church. I purchased the 18W. The skit and pant were cut wide. The picture shittgw skirt as straight but the women's size assumes that bulk in hips. It fits loose in the hip. I will have to alter these articles. The items that I have purchased previously haven't been as stated or expected.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Shopping from I purchased this suit for a church event. I am not pleased with the jacket of this suit, it it sewed lopsided and the left side is not aligned with the right. Also the pants are tremendously oversized. The material is good. I kept this outfit only because I needed it for an engagement and didn't have time to shop elsewhere.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Earline Young from Denai 3-Piece Wardrobe The material was one unfamiliar to me rayon. I did not like it. Unsuitable to wear in the summer.

Rated 1 out of 5 by LaWanda Kamalidiin from Returned.... I was very disappointed. Suit not lined, did not fit me well. Not worth the investment of $149.00.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jacqueline Williams from A great find I am completely satisfied with my purchase. It is very classy and looks and feels great on me. My 18 year daughter wants one like it.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Michelle from Not Worth the Price For me, a quality suit is lined. If my jacket flies open, the lining should look quality and not like it wasn't finished.

Remember When The Nation Of Islam Was Relevant?
Posted on March 13, 2015 by thegodmj	| 4 Comments
Soundtrack: Public Enemy "Don't Believe The Hype"
Let me start by saying why I care about this subject. The Nation of Islam saved my life. When I was in the streets, in the 90's, it was Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam that gave me a way to turn my life around. I care very much about today's youth and future generations getting the opportunity to be touched by the Nation of Islam in the same way. The last twenty years have seen a steep drop in the Nation of Islam's visibility and level of influence in the streets and among the youth. I want us to examine why that is the case.
To properly put the Nation of Islam's current position in context, we have to go back 40 years, to 1975. In that year the
Nation of Islam was destroyed. The FBI's attacks on Black Nationalist groups had succeeded in getting rid of the
organization. A January 7, 1969 FBI internal memorandum, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, stated:
"Although the Nation of Islam (NOI) does not presently advocate violence by its members, the group does preach hatred of the white race and racial separatism. The membership of the NOI is organized and poses a real racial threat. The NOI is responsible for the largest black nationalist newspaper, which has been used by other black extremists.
The NOI appears to be the personal fiefdom of Elijah Muhammad. When he dies a power struggle can be expected and the NOI could change direction. We should be prepared for this eventuality. We should plan how to change the philosophy of the NOI to one of the strictly religious and self-improvement orientation, deleting the race hatred and separate nationhood aspects.
In this connection Chicago should consider what counterintelligence action might be needed now or at the time of Elijah Muhammad's death to bring about such a change in NOI philosophy. Important considerations should include the identity, strengths, and weaknesses, of any contenders for NOI leadership. What are the positions of our [BUREAU DELETION] informants in regard to leadership? How could potential leaders be turned or neutralized?
The alternative to changing the philosophy of the NOI is the destruction of the organization. This might be accomplished through generating factionalism among the contenders for Elijah Muhammad's leadership or through legal action in probate court on his death. Chicago should consider the question of how to generate the factionalism necessary to destroy the NOI by splitting into several groups. [BUREAU DELETION]"
With Elijah Muhammad no longer running the show, his son Warith Deen Mohammed took over and made the group one that sought the approval of the white world and the Arab world. That is until September 1977 when the man who had been the group's national spokesman, Louis Farrakhan, decided to rebuild the work of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
Now we have to look at the psychology of the two opposing groups here. We have the United States government Intelligence and National Security apparatus working to achieve the aims of the 1% (the super rich). They don't wanna see any shift in wealth distribution or power distribution in this country. That is clearly the Nation of Islam's aim. They have already succeeded in getting rid of this group. Now they see a man rising up to attempt to undo what they have done. Of course, they don't want to see him succeed.
On the other side you have Farrakhan who in 1977 is motivated solely by love for Elijah Muhammad and love for his people. He believes that his teacher is dead, which shifts some of his thinking about what had motivated his work pre-1975. It was and is the position of the Nation of Islam that Elijah Muhammad was taught by God Himself and charged with leading the mental resurrection of Black people in America and warning of the destruction of the old world order. 1977 Farrakhan still believes that his people must be resurrected and the program of Elijah Muhammad is the best way to do it, so he commits to rebuilding Elijah Muhammad's work.
Consider the audacity of this man Farrakhan to even attempt to rebuild this thing. An organization that had all this real estate and bakeries and schools and printing press and trucking system and bringing fish in internationally and so on. Almost everyone has either gone with Warith Deen or walked away from Islam altogether. He and a handful of other people are gonna rebuild this enormous organization. He either really believes in his God or in himself or a combination of the two.
Also at this time the people are becoming aware of exactly how far the government had gone with its Counter Intelligence Program (CoIntelPro). The info has become public so he knows of a surety that the weight of the whole US government can and will be brought against him in attempting to rebuild what they have already torn down.
So now the stage is set. Farrakhan spends 1978 and 1979 doing a large amount of paid speaking engagements, largely at
universities, raising the money to get his organization off the ground. He is talking to some of the old ministers about
joining him to rebuild. He has Muslim stalwarts like Tynnetta and her sons, Jabril, Khallid, Abdul Allah, Akbar. In 1980 he has attracted enough old followers back and got enough new ones to announce the 1981 Saviours' Day celebration (the Nation of Islam's annual convention honoring its founder). Jabril has convinced him that Elijah Muhammad is alive (if you don't know about that, another subject for another time). Now his self concept has changed. He isn't just a man acting out of love for his teacher. He is the fulfillment of prophecy. It was destined for him to step into the role of Paul to Elijah's Jesus. It is his job to let the world know that Elijah is alive and that Elijah was the Messiah and to finish Elijah's work of resurrection.
Now it's '83 and '84. He's helping Jesse Jackson campaign for the Democratic Party nomination for president. Jesse slips up and makes the hymietown remark. Now the white community is moving against Jesse but especially the Jews. Farrakhan goes into war mode, warning them not to touch Jesse, and speaking on their hypocrisy and their dirty religion. Now the sights are set on him.
Once Jesse turns away from him then he is able to focus his attention completely on Elijah's program. A black man named Al Wellington out of Philadelphia was promoting this idea to tap into the huge amount of money spent by the Black community on beauty and hygiene products. Farrakhan became the face and the spokesman of this idea. The plan was to use underutilized Black-owned manufacturing plants to produce a line of beauty and hygiene products and establish a home delivery system where Black households order products every month directly from a catalogue. Farrakhan secured a $5 million loan from Colonel Muammar Qaddafi to get the program off the ground in February 1985. The program is called POWER (People Organized and Working for Economic Rebirth) and the product line is called Clean n Fresh. Now things are really heating up. Again the 1%'s main objective is to prevent any change in the economic status quo. You got this man Farrakhan who is speaking to thousands of poor people at a time and is now threatening to turn their attention completely toward economic self-sufficiency. It's crunch time.
They go to work seeking to assassinate Farrakhan's character, at the very least. And they are simultaneously working to
destroy the program he is building. Farrakhan and Wellington had negotiated for a Black-owned bank to house the seed money for the program. The Johnson Products company was to serve as the primary manufacturer. The Johnson Publishing Company, owners of Ebony and Jet magazine, were to provide advertising space for the program. And before things could get going, all of that dissolved. Pressure applied from the Jewish community made everyone afraid to stand next to Farrakhan.
The POWER program is now seriously crippled because the Nation isn't big enough to push this thing all on its own just going door to door. Though they attempt to do just that. And also it becomes a top national security concern to kill Muammar Qaddafi. In the summer of 1985 the Reagan Administration plans his assassination. On February 5, 1986 Farrakhan participated in a press conference, organized by Kwame Ture, with the theme of HANDS OFF LIBYA. Later that night he embarked on a world tour starting in the Caribbean and then moving on to Africa. The Africa portion of the tour was cut short as he realized that a war was being planned against Libya, and he went to Libya to warn Muammar Qaddafi and the Libyan people.
The realization of these war plans came from him reflecting on a vision that he had on September 17, 1985. Again, that's another subject for another time. Then he spends a few years focused internally on the Nation of Islam. He is teaching like
no one has ever taught before in Black America and his ministers are working to grow the mosques and build new ones. Then around 1988 a new phenomenon starts.
Rappers are causing people to want to join the Nation of Islam. After Elijah was gone, the only people really talking about
Elijah's teachings were the Five Percenters. They were gaining tremendous amounts of influence over youth culture throughout the Northeast but especially New York and New Jersey. When Hip Hop came out of this area, those youth started speaking the language of the 5%. And Farrakhan was their hero because he was the only national leader who spoke their language. Farrakhan and his young national spokesman named Khallid. The rappers started putting Farrakhan and Khallid in their songs and videos and all of a sudden a whole lot of children born somewhere around 1970 were joining the NOI (Nation of Islam) with youthful exuberance and a love for the teachings (of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad) instilled in them by Hip Hop.
In 1989 Farrakhan gives the announcement that the war in Libya was a sign of a war against him and Black America, especially Black youth. And that war was very real as we discussed in our writing about Hip Hop. Based on his insight from this vision, in 1989 he starts his Stop the Killing Tour (immediately after announcing his expanded understanding of his vision). In December 1993, he starts his Let Us Make Man tour, speaking to audiences of men only. Thousands upon thousands of people filling up arenas all over this country to hear him speak.
Also in 1993 the FBI tries to take advantage of the popularity of Spike Lee's movie X to fan the flames of hatred for Farrakhan in Malcolm's children and get Malcolm's daughter Qubilah to work with a guy to kill Farrakhan. Ultimately, that plan fails.
In 1994, the Let Us Make Man tour turns into plans for a Million Man March. Now let's look at the two opposing sides.
The 1%'s biggest fear is for the millions of angry black youth to get linked up with a charismatic black nationalist leader
who can turn all that anger and potential for violence against them. From that perspective this possibility of a Million Man
March is especially troublesome. In February 1995, Farrakhan gives a speech called Jesus Saves in which he mentions the
members of the 1% by name and puts the focus of "ENEMY" clearly on them. Then he goes around the country building up
support for the Million Man March.
October comes and the 1% and government are scared as s*@t. They shut down the government that day. President Clinton gave some excuse about why he had to leave town. The military was waiting in the tunnels for a war. And 2 million men showed up in response to Farrakhan's call. And we were the most peaceful and loving group of Black men that any of us had ever seen. And we were down to do WHATEVER Farrakhan would've asked of us.
The 1% has been doing everything they possibly can to get rid of this man. Slander, attempted murder, attempting to neutralize his power base among the youth and hip hop. Nothing has worked. He keeps coming and getting more powerful. Now he has this army standing in front of him on the steps of the US Capitol, as loyal to their General and as motivated as any army in the world.
Farrakhan is scared. He has actually achieved what he has been working toward for almost twenty years. He is standing as
Father over the house which is Black America. The eyes of the whole world, literally, are on him. He knows that the military
wants to wipe us out. He feels his own doom pending. He feels like Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane. He has told his
followers that him going to DC is like Jesus going to Jerusalem. His crucifixion is on the way. He feels it. So many things
to weigh. What does he do?
He gives the most politically correct speech of his career. He tries not to get us all killed. He tries not to give them any
reason to bring those tanks out of the tunnels. He acts more out of fear of the enemy than he does out of faith in his
backing. The end result is that those two million men return home that night and the next day not really knowing what to do.
They have this vague sense of duty to be a good person. They've pledged to not fight each other and all that. Good stuff.
But not exactly marching orders for an army. The army energy that had been built up quickly dissipates. There is no
organizational follow-up on the march. Farrakhan goes around the world on a World Friendship Tour and doesn't do anything to directly connect the Million Man March, those two million men who attended, with these heads of state who he is meeting with.
The 1% breathes a humongous sigh of relief. They've been faced with the moment they feared. The most perilous situation they've ever faced. And Farrakhan doesn't pull the trigger. Hip Hop is becoming increasingly inept. It isn't driving people toward Farrakhan anymore, it is driving people away from Farrakhan.
Farrakhan has separated from Khallid. The man who was his link to the youth. The link is gone. Hip Hop isn't connecting the masses to Farrakhan. Khallid isn't connecting the masses to Farrakhan. The masses are upset at Farrakhan for wasting their time.
Then Tupac is killed. Tupac was Farrakhan's last hope of maintaining relevance. He has made an album called Killuminati and has kept with the tradition of quoting Farrakhan and Khallid. He is personally moving back toward the black nationalist
people who are his closest family. He was in prison on the day of the March. But now he is out and he is the most famous rapper in the world and he is serving to keep the threat alive (black youth + black nationalism). But less than a year after the march, Tupac is dead.
Now Biggie is the biggest rapper left. He would be dead in less than six months, replaced with a slew of copycats who are
all about getting money. Our gang peace treaties around the country are losing their grip. The angry white male has been
unleashed all over the country under the leadership of Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich. Farrakhan gives a one year march anniversary speech about world leaders and avoiding a war of Armageddon that fails to make a splash among Black America. The man who was crowned King of Black America just a year before is now quickly becoming a thing of the past.
There had been a lack of appreciation for the marriage between Farrakhan and the NOI and Hip Hop. Hip Hop music and culture throughout the late 80's and early 90's was keeping the topics of freedom, justice, and equality in the front of the minds of Black youth. And Farrakhan was the real life Black Nationalist Hero who could give them something to do with that energy that Hip Hop was producing. With Tupac dead, Ice Cube back in NWA mode with a new group called Westside Connection, Public Enemy had fell off, Tribe Called Quest and the Native Tongues were breaking up and falling off, and Khallid trying to figure out his life after being separated from Farrakhan…there was no longer any glue between the masses and a now 63 year old Farrakhan. The youth were trying to get jiggy, get money, get high. Fighting the power and yelling fuck the police just wasn't important anymore.
So the energy dissipated. It became less and less common to see the Muslims on the block in Any Ghetto, USA selling bean pies and The Final Call newspaper. The mosques stopped growing as quickly, if their numbers increased at all. And Farrakhan became a man dealing with a crisis of self identity.
Remember this is a man who believes himself to be an extension of the Messiah, chosen by God to lead the resurrection of the mentally dead and to be a driving force behind God's Judgment and Destruction of the former world order. He worked tirelessly from 1977 until he saw the climax of his work coming in 1995. He was absolutely convinced that with the Million Man March he was walking into his own crucifixion and ultimately being saved from death by God. That didn't happen. He was told in his September 1985 Vision that he had to do one more thing then he could see his teacher, Elijah Muhammad, face to face. He just knew that the one more thing was the Million Man March. But nothing happened. Now he becomes a man who is frantically searching for the "one more thing" while appearing to calmly guide his followers. He is the leader of the faith for thousands of people while battling to not fall victim to a crisis of his own faith.
Farrakhan becomes desperate and vulnerable. Every year or two he gets an idea or someone comes to him with an idea that sounds like it might be the One More Thing. And every time he tells his followers that this is it. He won't have much longer to be with them. After a while, he becomes a bit like the Boy Who Cried Wolf. One More Thing has happened at least a dozen times and Farrakhan is still here. Desperate and Vulnerable. Needing something to be the thing that works.
It's 2015. There was a time when the barbershop and beauty shop conversation was about how there were no Black leaders left except Farrakhan. Now the conversation is about how there are no Black leaders left, period. Farrakhan is almost 82 years old. He has almost died multiple times in the past 10 years from prostate cancer and complications in the treatment of it.
When he first stood up in 1977 it was Farrakhan and Tynnetta and Jabril. Tynnetta died recently. Jabril has been seriously
sick for quite some time now. The Nation has been recently attempting to return to where it all started with a focus on
economic development. Unfortunately, that effort has yet to gain any traction among the masses of the people. The only
movement energy that we have right now centers around protest politics and that has no real connection with Farrakhan or the Nation of Islam. Those who aren't in the streets protesting are at home watching reality TV. The prospects for a Nation of Islam resurgence are bleak.
It is my belief that Minister Farrakhan is held hostage by his own sense of destiny. His belief in what his life is supposed to produce, combined with his own sense of mortality, hinder him from instilling the best possible habits into the Nation of Islam under his leadership. The Nation could have a very long-term view toward achieving its aims; determined to chip away, a little bit at a time, at a mountainous goal of restoring Black people to our former glory. One fundraiser, one workshop, one new member at a time. But what the Nation has seemed to do for a while now is to swing for the fences; searching for the One More Thing. As time moves on, a slight shift in the group's ideology/theology could serve to relieve some of this pressure which causes some desperate moves.
There are a couple of reasons for optimism regarding the relationship between the Nation of Islam and the Black youth of 2015. They are named Jay Electronica and Wesley Muhammad. These two men have been friends for over 20 years. Jay Electronica is a Hip Hop artist signed to Jay-Z's Roc Nation record label. He was the most buzzed about rapper in 2009 and 2010, working closely with Diddy, Just Blaze, Jay-Z, Erykah Badu, Nas, and others. He has still yet to release a full-length album and his fans are beginning to wonder if he ever will. Yet he still has a tremendous amount of buzz surrounding every move he makes in the public eye. He might be the might famous rapper in the world to have never released an album. Wesley Muhammad is a historian of religion with a PhD in Islamic Studies. He is one of the founders of The Allah Team, a group that straddles the fence between the Nation of Islam and the Five Percenters, of which Jay Electronica is a former and newly reinstated member. He works in Chicago directly for Minister Farrakhan as an in-house scholar.
These two men and the team that surrounds them have the potential and ability to inject a large dose of intellectualism back into the Hip Hop conversation. If Jay Electronica releases an album and does the full gamut of promotional activities that should accompany that. It could be a spectacle of Hip Hop culture the likes of which hasn't been seen since the heyday of Public Enemy, Ice Cube, and Tupac. We shall see what happens with that.
Kanye West had these words to say about Minister Farrakhan a couple of weeks ago:
"Right now I'm working on a documentary with him, about him, and about his music. He's a classically trained violinist. In the same way my wife got stamped with a sex tape, the Minister was stamped with [bigotry], and it's important that while he's still alive he sees the people appreciate his message. If you ever hear him talk, it's about humanity, it's about one race."
Kanye West is a pretty big deal. If anyone can shine a positive light on Farrakhan where the youth are concerned, it is Kanye. Kanye's words lead me to my conclusion. Louis Farrakhan is not receiving the level of appreciation that he deserves from the community that he has worked to serve for the past 60 years. No other organization destroyed by CoIntelPro has reached anywhere near its former level of glory, besides the Nation of Islam. He has built an organization that gives our people something to be proud of and a sense of hope for our future. Whatever the weaknesses of the Nation of Islam may be, its level of organization and dedication give it a chance to make monumental moves on behalf of Black America at any given time.
In the 2014 Major League Baseball season, Derek Jeter received what many called a Farewell Tour. It was his last season in the league at the end of a historically great career and everywhere he went in the world of baseball he was praised and celebrated and thanked for his achievements. Farrakhan deserves a similar round of applause at this time in his life. For however much longer he has to be among us, he should see his people celebrating his life and devoting their energy toward helping him achieve his lifelong goals.
THE THREE YEAR ECONOMIC SAVINGS Program was established by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad in 1964. This program called for black people to pool their resources by contributing $10 a month to help fight against poverty, want, unemployment, abominable housing, hunger and nakedness of the 40 million black people in America. Minister Farrakhan re-established this program in October 1991 because we still continue to face these same problems today. The Program's name might imply that it was to last for only three years. However this will be an ongoing program until the problems of our people are eradicated.
Every Black person in America should be encouraged to give $60 to this program in honor of the past 60 years of Minister Farrakhan's work on behalf of our people. The billions of dollars raised in such an effort could start a program of long term development that carries us through the rest of the 21st century, taking us from a powerless people to a powerful people. We deserve it, and Minister Farrakhan's legacy deserves it.
As with all things, this kind of appreciation will only go as far as the youth (and Hip Hop) push it to go. I fast and pray that I see a time in the very near future where a proper conclusion is given to Minister Farrakhan's career, for the benefit of all of us.

The Self Guided Ones
Posted on September 17, 2014 by thegodmj	| Leave a comment
Soundtrack: Talib Kweli "Self Savior"
In July I spent four days in Detroit as one of the stops on my Tantra Tour 2014. I was there during the time that Muslims from all over the world observe the Ramadan fast in remembrance of the revelation of the Qur'an to Prophet Muhammad. Detroit is a city of major significance for Islam in the United States.
When I was fifteen years old I was introduced to Islam as taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and I decided to discipline my life to that body of knowledge. Several years later I switched my college major to Religion and Philosophy and my overall outlook on religion and spirituality changed. My knowledge of how and why human beings do religion was deepened and broadened. I was influenced to change the direction of my spiritual focus from the Nation of Islam, established by Elijah Muhammad and led by Louis Farrakhan, to the 5% Nation of Islam, innovated by Father Allah (Clarence 13X) using the foundation laid down by Elijah Muhammad.
Over time my Islam has become more and more of a personal matter for me. It is not something that I wear on my sleeve. Though this may be a crass analogy, Islam for me is like undergarments — I keep it very close to me but I cover it up with the appearance that I choose to show to the world. Being in Detroit during Ramadan was the first time in a while that I was made keenly aware of my own Islamic identity and heritage.
I stayed in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn. Dearborn has the largest Arab population of any town in the United States, 42% of the population is of Arab ancestry. The inner city of Detroit is where the Nation of Islam was founded by an Arab man named Wallace Fard (W.F.) Muhammad, who is pictured above. I went sightseeing to the location of the first Nation of Islam headquarters and other historic Islamic sites in the city. All of this caused me to think about the philosophy of Islam from the perspective of where I stand now as a Tantra practitioner.
W.F. Muhammad is regarded by the members of the Nation of Islam as the "Mahdi". The word Mahdi means guided one, divinely guided one, or self guided one, depending on who is doing the translating. It is a prophesied figure in Islamic tradition who is expected to appear in the last days along with the Messiah, bring justice to the world, and remove all tyrants. I'll come back to Mahdi in a bit.
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught that "God is a man, and Man is God". He taught that human beings are direct descendants of the Originator of the heavens and the earth. He said that Knowledge of God and Knowledge of Self are one in the same. In his talks about the Originator, he constantly emphasized that that First God was self-created, He brought Himself into existence. What practical benefit can we get from accepting that concept as truth? (I'm skipping over a lot of what I could say to provide context to these things in the interest of brevity. I hope I'm not losing anyone)
If it is true that we are created in the image and likeness of God, that we are all gods and children of the Most High God, that we are direct descendants of the Originator, then it makes sense that we share in God's attribute of being self created. It is important that we understand that the First God was self created because that is the most crucial thing for us to understand about ourselves. We bring ourselves into existence.
It's important that I mention that I'm only speaking for myself when I say these things. Pretty much all of the different divisions of Islam would disagree with my position here for one reason or another. This is not mainstream Muslim thought by any stretch of the imagination. This is revolutionary MJ's perspective on what I have read and practiced of Islam for nearly twenty years.
It is my belief that there is one Consciousness at the root of the universe. There is one Ultimate Reality which is aware of itself as having existence. That Infinite Intelligence is the ultimate root of every single living being. As human beings, with our unique level of self awareness, we have a unique relationship with and connection to the Ultimate Reality. God experiences his/her/itself through us as human beings. We are God's eyes and ears and hands. We are individuated pieces of the Ultimate Reality. We are eternal beings. We were all THERE/HERE in the beginning when the Ultimate Reality became aware of his/her/itself and decided to split into separate parts so that he/she/it could perceive what he/she/it was made of.
Before we come into physical existence as embryos in the womb of our mothers, we make a conscious decision from the Ancestral realm of what kind of body and life we want to be born into. Based on that resolute decision we attract that situation (parents, family, body) to ourselves and take on a new physical life. Even though we forget about the decision we made once we start adjusting to living in this realm of relativity and perceiving the world through our physical senses, at our core we are still deciding what life we choose to live and we attract life to us based on our thinking. We are self created.
W.F. Muhammad, the self-guided Mahdi, represents a frequency that we can all tune into. He's like a tuning fork and we're all musical instruments. He sets the tone and we can all tune up according to him. He represents a body of knowledge that allows us to fully remember that we are gods and then function according to that knowledge. The modern world is making it very difficult for the major western religions to maintain their grip on the minds of the people. The theology and mythology of these religions was developed at a time when people were ignorant to many scientific truths. The people needed some sort of explanation about natural phenomena in order to put their minds at rest. Now, technology and the information age are quickly making these ancient inventions obsolete. The people are yearning for something that matches their modern minds.
Elijah Muhammad said:
"Master Fard Muhammad aims to raise the Lost-Found (so-called Negro) into the knowledge and wisdom—the very ideas—of the Gods of the past.
"He also aims presently, to raise His people into His own ideas, in Himself, that the scriptures may be fulfilled: that those to whom He reveals Himself become the sons (and the daughters) of God—sons and daughters in the wisdom of God.
"He aims not only to reveal His ideas for the present creation of the universe, but also to give to man the nature and the creative wisdom to produce creative ideas as The Father of Civilization.
"This is what was prophesied: that God would make man like Himself. He aims to make The Nation of Righteousness, who will rule in the Hereafter, with the potential knowledge of producing and bringing into action, or existence, that which He has been able to produce. We call this 'ideas.' He aims to make each one into a God."
The people of the future will no longer rely on books of scripture, priests and reverends, or divination systems to access the mind of the Divine. We are moving toward a time when humanity will be reunited with our true identity as extensions of the Ultimate Reality. We will remember how to consult our heart and our feelings as the Messenger of God. We will learn to trust our intuition. We will become the self-guided ones.

Q: Design Pattern for orchestration I have three java component - ComponentA, ComponentB, ComponentC. I want to orchestrate these component. There could be multiple combination (but in sequence) while executing these component for e.g. ComponentA, -> ComponentB, -> ComponentC or ComponentA, -> ComponentC. Which pattern would be the best fit here ? Every component has their own functionality and doesn't depend on each other. I'm looking at mediator java pattern but not sure if this is good fit in this case.

A: Maybe the Chain of responsibility pattern might fit for this scenario.

A: If you are dealing with complex Objects in your Components and specific Data_flow, you can try to implement the logical model of Pipeline_software. It'll give you great control of your process. In order to be more specific I can recommend you the Pipes & filters (Although it's from MSDN you can still use it's design).

*

*Cheers

A: I would recommend the below
orchestra-tor -> component1 -> returns to orchestra-tor
orchestra-tor -> component2 -> returns to orchestra-tor
orchestra-tor -> component3 -> returns to orchestra-tor

This way, you may choose to skip a component or introduce business logic btw the components later

A: The command pattern may be work to play the components actions in sequence. As the link states, is used to wizards, that is a sequence of screens, or macro recording, a sequence of commands. Here we are talking of a sequence of executions, that's why maybe applies.
I found this implementation related to your question.

Summary of Cabriolet
The Cabriolet was introduced from France about 1810 and, by about 1830, was much refined and improved, it had become THE carriage for a stylish man-about-town to be seen driving himself, the successor of the curricle in this role. In 1837 it was said to be 'a very convenient vehicle for unmarried men to go out in at night, and return either from a dinner, or from a theatre or opera, or houses of parliament.' It is a two-wheeled carriage with a body to seat two, shaped like a nautilus shell and fitted with a folding leather head, which is suspended on elbow springs in front and C springs behind. The apron that protects the legs of the occupants is usually stretched over a light wooden frame that is hinged at the bottom to lie against the dashboard when it is open. There is a little platform behind the body to carry a servant, no bigger than a flat race jockey, who was known as a 'tiger' because of his yellow and black striped waistcoat, who was carried on no other carriage type. Cabriolets were built for a large horse, so large that the tiger could hardly reach his bridle when he was standing at his head. Horses of the necessary size, style and quality were expensive and, if the owner had an active business and social life, he needed two or three, so only the wealthiest young men could afford to drive a cabriolet.
Only three original cabriolets are believed to have survived in Britain, making this carriage quite important. This example is particularly fine in its build, paintwork, and original condition. It is part of the Science Museums collections and on loan to Arlington Court.
Height: 6ft 6" (head lowered)
Length: 13ft1 ¼"
Width: 5ft 10 ½"
Wheel diameter: 4ft 8"
The defining feature of a Cabriolet is the nautilus shell shaped body and leather head. This very fine example has a hinged apron which is so beautifully and thoughtfully designed that it follows the line of the body and does not detract from the appearance of the carriage at all. The apron consists of the wood frame with curved side panels. The frame is covered with black leather on the upper side and red wool box cloth on the underside. Along the top is a sort of valance of red cloth (now faded to pink) trimmed with two tone red broadlace with a baton pattern. The seat is upholstered in a gorgeous deep red Moroccan leather, buttoned on the seat back, sides and cushion. It is very well padded and would have provided the most comfortable of rides. Around the seat edges and trimming the cushion is a black and red stripe seaming lace. A lovely deep red Holland and Holland carpet covers the sills and is missing from the main floor, presumably it was the same sort of carpet.
To the front of the body is a leather dash board with a rein rail and grab handles along each side which are leather served. The head is on one pair of curved joints. It is incredibly fragile with many tears to the leather. The inside is lined with red wool box cloth. Around the front edge is a facing of leather and tothis, on each side, rectangular splash guards are fitted, also made of leather.
Behind the carriage body is a small footman's platform or 'cushion' made of wood and covered in black leather. This was for the Tiger to ride on and he would have held on to the leather holders attached to the top side of body of the carriage at the back. To mount the platform is a very small square step plate on a curved bracket which attaches to the underside of the rear cross bar. It has a rather attractive circular frame supporting the outer edge.
The draw bar and cross bars at the back are carved and turned with little florettes for added decoration. At each end of the drawbar are stirrup steps with leather backs and plain step plates. A semi circular step plate is attached to the top side of the shaft on the offside. A turned swingletree is attached via a wide central leather brace and two smaller supporting braces.
This carriage was designed for comfort with three different types of springs. The body is on C springs and elbow springs which are quite unusual. Beneath the shafts are side springs adding to a smoother ride. Cabriolets were designed to be pulled by big horses and so their shafts have a high swan neck shape to them. This example would have been horsed by a 17hh equine. The iron tug stops and breeching staples on the shafts are painted black and are fitted on top of leather serving.
The wheels are English pattern but have no stagger to the spokes. They have 16 spokes and rubber tyres in clincher channels. The axles are Collinge patent with silver plate caps and a straight axle bar.
A dazzling livery of bright red paintwork with white and black lining on the wheels and undercarriage coupled with the exceptional high quality of the build of this Cabriolet, suggest it was owning by a very wealthy gentleman with excellent taste in his mode of transport. A crest is on the back panel.

Why should we be calmer about babies crying?
There are some people who have no problem or get upset by hearing a baby cry. They can simply ignore a baby that is in distress. They are able not to pick the baby up, they believe to do so would be 'spoiling him'. They have no issue with the suggestion, and they will think nothing of leaving a baby to cry alone in a dark room for hours. I am led to believe these people exist from first-hand experience in messages, emails and speaking with people who comment when they hear what it is I do as a profession. I know this more commonly used then we would like to believe when we read articles on this type of sleep training all time. But seriously, who are they? In my 23 1/2 years as a mother and 5 years as a sleep consultant, I've never encountered a parent like this face to face.
As a parent myself, friends with children and caregivers I have known over the years we all seem to feel very differently about crying. In fact, I would say we are a whole 180 degrees different. I have found all of us to be jolted into action by the slightest expression by our baby's that they feel or have even the tiniest of discomfort or dismay. In my opinion, it is our instinct to do almost anything that is in our power to help prevent and stop a baby from crying. To the point that when our baby's cries cannot be easily abated, we find ourselves in the uncomfortable place of feeling unnerved, generally frustrated, and deep feeling that we are a complete failure. When the slight sound from the baby occurs, the feeling of pressure is enormous. It is like we are crying internally praying that the next action will soothe them again to make the crying stop so we can breathe easy once again.
The way in which these parents try to avoid this is by perhaps trying to shush, jiggle, rock them, try them with a pacifier, we place them in an electric swing, put the washing machines on a place them near it, in some situations even driven them around the neighbourhood. Some mums have tried nursing their baby for hours and hours on end. Usually they are afraid that if they were to take the baby off the breast they wake up and cry so would even prefer to go with less sleep themselves. Some mums attempt to have baby latched on all night while they try to sleep. The common and powerful message which is seen in all these suggestions is that we view our own discomfort to be a better option than even bearing one moment of it to our baby's.
So as parent we all do our best to differentiate between the different cries & sounds our baby makes. By responding in what we feel is the most appropriate manner. This is when we all have those moments of doubts and comparisons start looming… Strangely enough, in Africa, babies do not cry at all. So why does it matter so much to us and what is it we are doing differently?
Once we have got passed the stage of baby, and have managed to survive infancy stage, the next learning curve comes along, saying no to our toddler! It is no surprise that they have an object to the NO decision, and what happens then, yip you guessed it, they end up in tears, and lots of crying occurs. There it is again that innately wrong feel comes flooding back. What then occurs is we believe we have 2 options. 1 being find the best ways to distract our child or 2, give in by pleasing him instead. The problem with both these scenarios is that this then only causes the child to increasingly more and more unreasonable demands. The interesting part to all of this, as parent we flew from the dreaded "No" however unfortunately this is exactly and desperately needed by our child, is exactly that, our "no" and then for them to cry. We have a struggle with what is an instinct, which is then heightened by our very culture, which tells us that our children must not cry, and it's must stop now, and it is up to us as the parents to ensure this!
All I can say is a HUGE grateful Thank you to those of us out there who have some intelligence, are insightful while still have compassionate voices of reason. Experts in the parenting field such as Magda Gerber, Aletha Solter, and Patty Wipfler who are all experts in this area and can truly help you with your baby's emotional health, and to be honest and frank your own too. The books and articles they have written will help you to better understand that these cries from your infant are not only okay, but in fact they actually serve a very important necessary purpose. So when a baby cries, it becomes our job to tune in, while providing love, help and support as is required, but not it will not or cannot necessarily stop the crying.
In situation where we follow our quick impulsive action to quickly stop them from crying, we are in fact not actually able to take the time to truly listen and understand what our baby's cues are actually saying. Therefore, it is much less likely that you can truly validate the baby's communication they are trying to do by crying because you don't understand what they really need.
When parents first start on of my child sleep programs, I make them aware by letting them know crying is allowed here. I can instantly sense the relief from them. What this has proven, more often than not, is that when parents understand this and are not afraid of crying then the occasions of crying during any program is usually a rarity in occasions. When there is lot of crying it is usually being brought on by a parent not being happy with the situation. So, what we need to release is that someone always ends up cry even if it is just a little. We as parent needs to understand that babies cry. It is our job as parents not feel stressed, embarrassed by it, instead take the time to listen, and work out what exactly the child wishes.
In primitive societies babies do not cry, this is due to their survival being at stake. You would not find these children squawking or squealing with exuberance like some children do, nor would they sing at the top of their voices in the high-pitched voice( like my own children do & I love it) These joyful noise can be at times a little unnerving that said, but I'm very grateful to have children whom wake up exceedingly happy, refreshed and are able to be freely to express themselves . We are lucky to lives in a society where our freedom of these expressions is not only allowed, but must be valued and encouraged.
While I certainly understand that by relating situations to a particular ancestral way while choosing to adopt it can work. It would be unfair to compare ourselves and our babies with these tribal families. While the point of us understanding and taking into account the context in which these ancestral behaviours "worked" makes sense, I cannot help but wish to express the fact that the reality of our two lives, the expectations we have for our children could not be more different.
5. Would it result in less abuse?
The question that seems to become very prominate in the issue of crying is if we as a parent and society were all be more comfortable with and when a baby cries do you think that it would help some of those parents out there be less likely to abuse? I have to say my guess would be yes.
Nothing is more sensitive than an infant. They are most sensitive towards their parents. For them every single interaction they encounter has an educational experience attached to it. A crying baby just want the same as all of us adults do when we cry — simply to be heard, be understood, and then helped if and where it is possible. There are times when all they will need is our calming support to allow them to fully express their feelings.
7. It is through a gentleness, listening calmly, observation, honesty and acceptance that bonding can occur.
It is with these ethos and beliefs that I create my gentle family-centred personalised sleep programs for babies and children. I work alongside parents who are in need of some reassurance that they are doing the right thing for their child in the best way. While they teach them in a loving, supporting and nurturing manner, they develop new skills which they will take on with them, serving them well for the rest of their life. We can not take the skills away from our children then expect them to do or be their best. Skills take practice, patience and understanding before we truly can say we have mastered them. Sleep has the same ethos. Same days are better than others, some days you will have instant and fantastic results. Others you little one is going to need to have you support, guide and help them more. The one thing which is key to all of this is to believe in them and their abilities you can do it. Once you know this you can watch them move mountains.
If you wish to speak to me about your own child's sleep, and wish a method which will be gentle and achievable then please book a 15 min introductory call where I will be happy to answer any questions you may have and discuss how I can help your family sleep.

Pandemic philosophy: COVID 19 and Houellebecq's bleak scenario
"I do not believe for a half-second the declarations that 'nothing will be like it was before'. We will not wake up after the lockdown in a new world. It will be the same, just a bit worse," French writer Michel Houellebecq said in a letter to Radio France International.
He described COVID-19 as a "banal virus" with "no redeeming qualities... It's not even sexually transmitted."
But he warned that the self-distancing and "home-working that the epidemic has brought" would accelerate the technological push to isolate and atomise people.
"It was a great excuse to push further the "obsolescence of human relationships", Houellebecq added.
Would these predictions be valid for the Bulgarian society as well? Are there any longer lasting effects of the isolation? The observations of the research team at Publicis Group Bulgaria, which has been tracking the effects of the pandemic from the very beginning of the crisis, show that there is a group of people in Bulgaria, although few in number, who in their attempt to get the most out of isolation, took it as an opportunity to reevaluate their priorities. These priorities are in a variety of areas: daily activities - shopping, eating, etc., as well as ways to spend free time - many people realized that "I can do well with much less", that maybe they don't need to leave the house, have fun, eat at a restaurant as often as before. They found digital alternatives to activities that require their physical presence in a specific place, such as gathering with friends through conference platforms. Digital, free of charge alternatives. Finding such alternatives is completely in line with the trends of minimalism, the way of life that envisions the clearing of all things unnecessary, the removal of "noise", incl. reducing consumption, all trends that are still shyly being manifested in Bulgaria. To some extent, these newly discovered patterns of behaviour have found an additional validation through the observations of environmentalists, who reported how reduced business activity and reduced movement of people have a positive impact on the environment. Whether these new patterns of behaviour will be sustained over time and with what effects on consumption is yet to be seen.

Yet another item for practicing The Art of Work Around(r).
This time, I was tackling an installation package that has been giving my client a hard time. While debugging the installer Visual Studio began crushing following the message: "Visual Studio Explorer [or Settings] and Designer Package failed to load properly…." The message indicated that I could choose to skip loading the package and resset skipping using the command line switch '/resetskippkgs'.
Restoring the solution from backup, I was able to proceed with debugging the installer.
Looking at the solution folder, I found the solution user options file (.suo)grew to some 57MB. Deleting this file solved the problem.
Workaround: delete the solution 'sou' file.

please suggest me the changes.

A: Instead of this:
<link href="rhttp://static.jstree.com/3.0.8/assets/dist/themes/default/style.min.css">

Use this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://static.jstree.com/3.0.8/assets/dist/themes/default/style.min.css">

Notice the missing "r" in the beginning of the URL - it is a typo.
But keep in mind hotlinking like this is frowned upon - jstree.com is not a CDN, you can use a real CDN:
http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jstree/3.0.8/themes/default/style.min.css
http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jstree/3.0.8/jstree.min.js

I will even recommend you use 3.1.1 which is fully backward compatible with 3.0.8, but has a lot of bug fixes.

A: Replace this line :
<link
 href="rhttp://static.jstree.com/3.0.8/assets/dist/themes/default/style.min.css">

With this line :
<link href="http://static.jstree.com/3.0.8/assets/dist/themes/default/style.min.css">

Police often ill-equipped to handle hate crimes
Less than half of people who are victims of hate crimes file reports with police, and an even lesser percentage see a conviction. In an attempt to examine the scale and effects of hate crimes in the U.S., ProPublica earlier this year launched the project "Documenting Hate." The project's manager, journalist Rachel Glickhouse, joins Alison Stewart for a year-end review.

ASUS ROG G20CB Review
by Joey Maceda · October 14, 2017
Small form factor gaming PCs definitely have their advantages as they can pack a lot of power in a very small footprint, but also that if they're from a reputable manufacturer such as ASUS ROG. they might just look really cool too. Enter the ASUS ROG G20CB. The model we're reviewing has some slightly older hardware in its i7 Skylake processor and GTX 970, but that isn't to say that the configuration is outdated at all.
The ROG G20CB we're reviewing sports an older i7 Skylake processor and GTX 970, but that isn't to say that configuration is severely outdated by late-2017 standards. At a volume of only 9.5-liters, this PC has an awesome futuristic design that's aggressive, but could easily find a place in even minimalist gaming setups.
The G20CB has a very angular design overall, even in its air vents. Overall build quality is questionable since it is made of mostly plastic. While looking cool and futuristic, its design also packs some function into it, which we'll discuss later on.
Up front for I/O, we have a slim DVD drive, two USB 3.0 ports, and the headphone and microphone jacks. On top of these is the power button, which strangely isn't accompanied by a reset button. We also would have liked to see a Type-C port here, but even at the back, there isn't one. On both sides of the front are two RGB LED strips under the angular mesh. They aren't particularly bright, but the subtle glow works with the design nonetheless.
Moving to the rear, we have two USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, two Type-A USB 3.1 ports, 7.1 surround audio jacks, an ethernet port, and the dual DC power jacks. Our unit has a GTX 970, which provides three DisplayPort, one HDMI, and one DVI-D for video output.
Now, on the subject of the dual power jacks, what allows the G20CB to have such a small footprint is the absence of an internal power supply. ASUS decided to implement this dual power brick stack approach to deal with that. The reason we have two power bricks is that one of them exclusively provides power to our graphics card. Now, this sort of setup causes a minor inconvenience in that you need two free power outlets for one PC, but it's the compromise the PC takes to be able to have such a small footprint. It actually only takes a 4.5-inch by 15-inch rectangular space on your desk.
As for upgradeability, the chassis can support a full-size GPU, has slots for single 3.5″ and 2.5″ drives, and has an M.2 PCIe slot. The components rest on a mini ITX H170 board, meaning there are only two RAM slots. In our case, upgrading to 16GB would be easy, since our unit was populated with a single stick of 8GB DDR4. The downside here is that opening it up to upgrade some parts is very difficult to do, and it will also void your warranty.
OS and Storage
Naturally, the OS that comes with this PC is Windows 10 Home Edition. When we first powered it on, we were treated right away to the Windows 10 Creator's update, which does provide added functionality to the OS.
Bloatware is present, and unfortunately, we have to deal with McAfee anti-virus. ASUS Command is also present, which is a suite that handles updates, security, back-up, and others. For gaming, you're provided with AEGIS II, which utilizes a series of widgets that allow you to monitor usage of system resources, control the RGB lighting, and more. For online gamers, you can use GameFirst III, an application that allows you to prioritize network usage for games.
Now that we've talked about the good stuff, it's worth mentioning that ASUS App Box and ASUS Music Maker of all things, also come pre-installed.
Our unit has a 120GB SATA SSD and an empty 1TB 3.5″ HDD. Out of the box, the SSD has 85.9GB of free storage, while the 1TB hard drive comes empty.
Performance and Benchmarks
Under the hood, our G20CB is rocking an Intel Core i7-6700 clocked at 3.40GHz, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 with 4GB of VRAM. The CPU and GPU certainly aren't current-generation, but they definitely held their own through the five AAA games we tested. At 1080p with considerably high graphics settings, it was able to keep framerates at an average of above 60fps, with the exception of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Metro: Last Light.
We also ran some synthetic benchmarks to further test performance. Check out the scores below.
Note: Our usual 3DMark and Adobe Premiere Export tests failed to complete.
For connectivity, we have Intel Ethernet and Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.0. They all work just fine, and with a strong connection, online gaming using Wi-Fi is not a bad experience.
We ran Prime 95 and FurMark for an hour each to test CPU and GPU temperatures, the i7-6700 actually managed to stay pretty cool at 62°C, but the GTX 970's temperature skyrocketed to 87°C.
Despite this, we were justly surprised that the system didn't really get as loud as we expected. The airflow inside the chassis was very balanced and followed an upward trajectory, allowing the heat to dissipate very evenly into the presumably empty space above the PC, assuming it rests on top of a desk.
The ASUS ROG G20CB is an awesome little machine that can easily find its place in both hardcore gaming battle-stations, as well as minimalist setups. Its harsh angles give it an aggressive look, but it definitely won't look out of place. Its small footprint helps a great deal with desk space but doesn't compromise on performance. The Maxwell-based variants can definitely handle even the most demanding modern AAA titles, but a Pascal graphics card will definitely make your system last a little longer.
The ASUS ROG G20CB (GTX 1070) is priced at Php99K.
ASUS ROG G20CB specs:
Intel Core i7-6700 (3.4GHz up to 4.0GHz/8MB Cache)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970, 4GB VRAM
1TB SATA HDD + 128GB SDD
Intel Gigabit Ethernet w/ GameFirst III

1 x PS/2
1 x RJ45 Gigabit LAN w/ Killer LAN
6 x audio w/ S/PDIF
Front Ports:

Slim DVD drive
What we liked about it:
Compact design and small footprint
Aggressive, but not out-of-place design
Great airflow
What we did not like:
Hard to open, will void your warranty
No Type-C ports

Infosys Chief Financial Officer M.D. Ranganath announced his sudden departure from the enterprise software conglomerate after 18 years at the firm has sparked concerns within the team, but Ranganath is reportedly urging the company's finance team to not read into his exit.
Reports in Reuters last week said the CFO is departing Infosys, India's second-largest software company, less than a year after the firm appointed a new chief executive officer. Ranganath had been in the CFO position since 2015, reports said.
"After a successful career spanning 18 years in Infosys, including as CFO for the last three crucial years, I now plan to pursue professional opportunities in new areas," Ranganath said, according to an Infosys filing.
Reports said he addressed about 15 senior members of his finance team, some of whom were said to have "sensed a frantic pace of activity in the campus" on the day Ranganath announced his resignation. Some financial executives reportedly learned of his impending departure via the stock exchange after the board had accepted his decision.
Infosys did not comment on the issue to The Times of India.
Ranganath is slated to leave the company on Nov. 16 of this year, Reuters said.
Infosys' revolving door may cause shares to slip as they did last year, following news of former CEO Vishal Sikka's resignation. Reports in Reuters last August said shares dropped by 5.4 percent, hitting their lowest in more than three years. Market value declined by $5.2 billion.

Warriors' Draymond Green suspended for Game 5 of NBA Finals after slapping LeBron James in groin
Golden State star Draymond Green was suspended for Game 5 of the NBA Finals after the league assessed a Flagrant 1 foul from his scuffle with Cleveland's LeBron James.
The NBA announced the retroactive decision Sunday, issuing James a technical on the play late in Golden State's 108-97 victory Friday. A statement announcing the discipline said that Green "made unnecessary contact with a retaliatory swipe of his hand to the groin" of James.

"There's no way you can say this is an acceptable act," Kiki VanDeWeghe, the NBA's executive vice president of basketball operations, told The Associated Press in a phone interview.
Exec. VP Kiki Vandeweghe joined @NBATV to explain Draymond Green's suspension:

Green has been on the cusp of trouble for much of the postseason. This is his fourth flagrant foul point, which resulted in the automatic suspension. He also has five technicals and was fined $25,000 for kicking Oklahoma City's Steven Adams in the groin during the Western Conference finals.
The Warriors lead the series 3-1 with a chance to clinch their second straight championship at home in Oracle Arena, but now they'll have to do it without one of their most important players.
"You have to do what you think is right for the play," VanDeWeghe said, "and unfortunately Draymond put himself in this position."
Warriors coach Steve Kerr spoke to Green earlier in the postseason about keeping his emotions in check, and now Golden State will have a big hole to fill without him.
Green is averaging 15.3 points this postseason -- third-most on the team behind Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson -- and a team-leading 9.6 rebounds along with nearly six assists.
Green called Friday's incident "stuff that's said on the court." Yet James considered it all inappropriate and said he and his teammates reviewed the sequence on video.
"Draymond just said something that I don't agree with," James said. "I'm all cool with the competition. I'm all fine with that, but some of the words that came out of his mouth were a little bit overboard, and being a guy with pride, a guy with three kids and a family, things of that nature, some things just go overboard."
As his teammates went through shooting drills near the end of Sunday's workout, Green could be seen off to the side speaking to Warriors general manager Bob Myers before returning to practice.

Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially life-threatening, allergic reaction that can affect many of the systems of the body, including:
circulation (of the blood)
Anaphylaxis is also known as anaphylaxis shock.
Signs of anaphylaxis include:
breathing difficulties
changes to your skin such as itchy skin or a raised red skin rash
swelling of certain body parts such as your lips, hands and feet (the medical term for this symptom is angioedema)
Anaphylaxis should always be treated as a medical emergency. If you suspect that you, or somebody else, is experiencing anaphylaxis you should immediately dial 999 for an ambulance and tell the operator that you think anaphylaxis has occurred.
An injection of an anti-allergy medicine called adrenaline should be given as soon as a reaction is suspected.
Some people with a previous history of anaphylaxis will have an auto-injector of adrenaline. The instructions of how to use an auto-injector can be found on the device. The adrenaline should be injected into the persons thigh muscle and can be administered through clothing. If syptoms have not started to improve and a second auto-injector is available, this can be administered 5 – 15 minutes after the first.
If the person is unconscious, see if they are wearing an allergy alert bracelet which will say if they have an auto-injector.
Despite being potentially life-threatening, if treated promptly with adrenaline, most people will make a full recovery and experience no long term complications.
Deaths due to anaphylaxis are rare in the UK numbering around 20-30 per year.
Causes and triggers
Anaphylaxis is your body's immune system overreacting badly to a substance such as food, which it wrongly perceives as a threat. Substances that provoke allergic reactions are known as allergens.
The whole body can be affected, usually within minutes of contact with an allergen, though sometimes the reaction can happen hours later.
The most widely reported triggers of anaphylaxis are:
insect stings; particularly wasp and bee stings
nuts; particularly peanuts
other types of foodstuffs such as milk and shellfish
certain medications such as some types of antibiotics
Preventing further episodes
If you know what has triggered anaphylaxis it is important to take steps to avoid further exposure to similar triggers.
Though in some cases this is not always possible (for example, wasp and bee stings), or when no obvious trigger can be found.
It is estimated that 1 in 12 people will go on to have another episode of anaphylaxis. Because of this risk you may be prescribed an auto-injector to use in the event of another episode.
Who is affected
Anaphylaxis is an uncommon. It is estimated that only 1 in 1,300 people in England will develop the symptoms of anaphylaxis at some point during their life.
Anaphylaxis affects people of all ages and is slightly more common in females than males.
People with other allergic conditions, such as asthma or the allergic skin condition atopic eczema, are most at risk of developing anaphylaxis.

Gary Grimshaw
25 February 25 1946 – 13 January 2014
Gary Grimshaw (February 25, 1946 – January 13, 2014) Poster artist, activist, graphic designer for the Detroit Artists Workshop, Trans-Love Energies, White Panther Party, Minister of Culture.
"There is a long history of artists making music the subject matter of their work," Grimshaw told Mojo in 1997. "It's difficult because you're trying to make a picture of something that can't be seen. But it's even more difficult for musicians, because when they perform it dissipates into the air and is gone. Just to get to the point where they can make a record, it takes years of all this energy disappearing as soon as it's made. Whereas everything a graphic artist does he can hold in his hands. That's why serving the music has always seemed honorable to me."
"I first hooked up with the Artists' Workshop in 1966. I'm a Vietnam veteran and I'd just come back from Vietnam. Rob Tyner [of the MC5] was my best friend. I'd go to these Sunday concerts, all day, all night.
My thing is art and printing, and John did a lot of it. They had an art department and I just jumped in and started doing stuff with them. It was really community-centered. I came from Lincoln Park, and there is no community in Lincoln Park.
With the Artists' Workshop, I polished my skills in writing and publishing. I learned a lot. It was really an education for me. There was a lot of activity.
That stereotype of hippies, I hate that word; it's a media invention. Detroit is a lot different from San Francisco, where the hippie mystique first started. There's a work ethic here, people from working-class roots. It was more like, let's smoke weed and do something. Let's drop acid and do something. Not just sit around and contemplate our navels.
We went to Ann Arbor in '68 because the police ran us out of Detroit. Every time you left the building to buy cigarettes you'd get pulled out and searched. Four squad cars would pull up and they'd look around and sniff around and leave. And this was routine. It got too dangerous for us. When the place came up in Ann Arbor, a big fraternity house, the MC5 wanted to live together so we got this big place.
In the late '60s in Detroit, the government and the police had this attitude that they were under siege from the Black Panthers and the hippies. They wanted to whap them over the head and get rid of them. When Coleman Young got elected and appointed a black police chief, I thought, "Phew, it's safe to move back." And I did move back right after that. I was thrilled when Coleman Young was elected. I thought, "No more harassment." –Gary Grimshaw, quoted in Metro Times, Nov. 3, 2004
Gary Michael Grimshaw is a graphic artist specializing in the music business since his first concert poster design in 1966. He was the primary poster and light show artist for Detroit's legendary Grande Ballroom through 1969. During this time he also created art for Detroit's notorious rock & roll band The MC5. Currently an album cover design for the MC5's first album "Kick Out The Jams" painted in 1968 is on view at Cleveland's Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame & Museum. Gary established a connection with the SF Bay Area with frequent trips out west 1966-1970, where he worked for the beautiful newspaper, The San Francisco Oracle. —Gary Grimshaw
"The rock world lost one of its pioneering concert poster artists on Monday when Gary Grimshaw passed away at the age of 67 in his home town of Detroit after a long battle with a variety of illnesses." —Billboard Magazine
"Heaven will be a little more psychedelic today," Grimshaw's friend, former Detroit concert promoter Gail Parenteau, told the Detroit News. Parenteau went on to describe Grimshaw "as brilliant a rock star as any of the legendary bands and events he imagined in his iconic poster art."
"Gary Grimshaw is probably the first nonWest Coast artist to join the ranks of the major psychedelic artists like Wes Wilson and Rick Griffin. Although Grimshaw now lives in the Bay Area and has, over the years, spent considerable time there, he is first and foremost a Michigan artist. For the most part, Grimshaw's finest work was done for venues in the Midwest, in Michigan and sometimes Ohio. And here is a working artist, in the finest sense of the word. Coming from a family of draftsman, illustrators, and printers, Grimshaw was immersed in colors and form from an early age. And while his poster work can be divided into several distinct periods, we should not forget that Grimshaw also produced an almost endless variety of flyers, advertisement, handbills, and what-have-you for the alternative community. I am not aware of any artist in psychedelic era that has produced more work that Gary Grimshaw."
— by Michael Erlewine: The Poster Style of Gary Grimshaw
"Grimshaw's vivid fliers and posters for the legendary Grande Ballroom in the late 1960s featured artists such as the MC5, Cream, the Yardbirds and Paul Butterfield. His style went beyond psychedelic, and is instantly recognizable to rock poster fans, and highly collectible."He gave a visual punch to the music scene, he used colors — he was the artist of a generation," his friend Becky Tyner told Whitall. "But it wasn't just limited to the '60s or '70s, he'd been doing things recently, too." -Susan Whitall, The Detroit News
"Grimshaw comes from a family of graphic artists. As a student in the Lincoln Park area, he worked in his uncle's print shop in Dearborn, Michigan, where he was introduced to the printing process. He was drawing all the time. In high school, he was involved in graphic projects, including designing T-shirts with his friend Rob Tyner, who was to become the lead singer for the notorious band, the MC5. Grimshaw went on to be the principal artist for that group." –Michael Erlewine; Grimshaw Biography

We all travel for a reason. Be it for the experience, a love and need for adventure or to spend time away from home with friends. The journey is only half of the experience and that is why it is important to have the right travel companion with you when you go.
Travelling with people who share (a) similar interest (s), increases your chances of sharing special experiences as well as creating and capturing memorable moments. Group travel is an easier, safer and more affordable way to travel as you share the cost of accommodations, meals, transportation and the worry about all the details. A great benefit to be had from group travel is the very often reduced pricing on some tours and activities.
We will design your group's journey to discovering a great time together with our insider knowledge and resources from start to finish.
