Luciano on Qabalah

In his own words Luciano explained, “Qabalah is the first ancient study of word and philosophy, thought and origin of word and the mind to be able to reason and decipher. The first study of the mind and we’re talking about the ancient school from the days when people used to do powerful things with the mind coz we see that life, the Qabalistic principles teach that there is more to life than the physical. There is the meta-physical – a spiritual side to life. For one to be successful one must attune to the principal of the spiritual laws and then these are the things that we seek or endeavour for will fall into place. It is the study of the origin of thought. This is what we try to bring forth in the music so that people will realise and bring back themselves to the serving of Jah the Almighty which is our purpose as created entities”.

ST. GEORGE’S, OCTOBER 13, 2009 — The Ministry of Health has advised the Ministry to Education, to close the Happy Hill Secondary School tomorrow, Wednesday October 13, 2009, to facilitate the sanitization of the school.

The decision came after technical staff of the Ministry of Health apprised the Minister for Health Sen. the Hon. Ann Peters on Tuesday morning on their investigation of reports of an unusual outbreak of flu-like symptoms at the school on Monday.

At today’s briefing, Minister Peters reiterated that there is no need for panic. She noted that anyone having the Influenza-A virus would have been treated according to standard basic protocols, by the public health nurses who investigated the complaint at the school.

Ministry officials have expressed satisfaction with the “prompt and professional” response of the public health nurses.

“We are satisfied that the team responded in a prompt manner and executed their duties to very high standards. We hope parents and guardians will work with the ministry to do their part in monitoring their children, to ensure the necessary steps are taken to protect them and the rest of the school from being infected,” the Minister said.

Director of Community Health, Dr. Christine La Grenade and Senior Public Health Nurse, Marva St. Paul, held meetings with the principal, staff and students today, to communicate the decisions taken by the Ministries of Health and Education.

A senior Education official said the Ministry has followed the advice of the Ministry of Health as it will protect the interest of both students and teachers.

“Our first priority is the students and staff of the school. We have followed the advice of the Ministry of Health to close the school for one day to take the necessary measures to sanitize the school,” according to the senior Ministry of Education official.

Principal of the Happy Hill Secondary School (HHSS) Daniel Thomas has also commended the Ministry for its swift action and handling of the situation.

Bounty Killa denied entry- Trinidad

Source: Newsday.co.tt

JAMAICAN Dancehall DJ, Bounty Killer, who was one of the main acts in last night’s “Cease Fire” concert at the King George V Park in Port-of-Spain, failed to show, as he was denied entry into the country on Friday night by Immigration officers at Piarco International Airport.

Sunday Newsday was reliably informed that the artiste, whose real name is Rodney Price, arrived at Piarco at 8.07 pm on Friday onboard flight BW 415. However, when he disembarked the aircraft and made his way to the Immigration section he was told by officers that he was not granted permission to enter the country and that he would have to leave for Jamaica on the next available flight.

After spending almost 12 hours at the gate under the watchful eyes of security personnel, Bounty Killer departed for Kingston, Jamaica at about 7.55 am yesterday morning on flight BW 416. A source close to the concert promoter, Jacho Entertainment, claimed that they were given no logical explanation as to why Bounty Killer was denied entry. The source said initially they were told that Bounty Killer failed to produce a work permit and then they were told that he was given no permission to enter Trinidad. Local artiste Ken Charles, also known as KMC, slammed the authorities for denying Bounty Killer entry to the country and said that the promoter should sue the State.

“The promoter should sue the State because that is just, no doubt, disrespectful. After they spent all that money in advertising, it is unfair for Bounty Killer, when he actually reached into the country, should be told that he will have to return to Jamaica. The authorities could have told the promoters that he was not allowed into the country from the very beginning, don’t wait till last minute,” KMC said.

“There was no reason given. The concert was geared towards bringing peace again in the country, to show the young men and women that violence is not the way and that what they sing was just on an entertainment basis and not a lifestyle but the authorities prevented this from happening. ‘Fire bun’ the man behind this, who call the shot on Bounty Killer,” KMC added.

Shortly after midnight on Friday, there was a “breaking news” article posted on the website “Dancehall.Mobi” which stated: “Rival dancehall deejays Bounty Killer and Vybz Kartel were to headline the “Cease Fire” concert tonight at the Queen’s Park Savannah in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, but we’ve just received word that upon his arrival in the twin island republic yesterday evening, the “Warlord” Bounty Killer was denied entry by Trinidad and Tobago immigration officials. It was not immediately clear why Bounty Killer was denied entry, however his former protégé now arch-nemesis – Vybz Kartel – did not suffer the same fate and was reportedly allowed to enter the country. He will perform later tonight (last night) at Cease Fire. More on this soon.”

In 2004, Bounty Killer was taken off the stage at Summerfest 2004, a concert staged at the Queen’s Park Savannah for using obscene language during his performance. He was arrested and charged under Section 51 of Trinidad’s Summary Offences Act, which makes it a crime to use language considered profane, indecent or obscene in a song. He appeared before a Port-of-Spain magistrate who granted him bail in the sum of TT$25,000. His passport was subsequently seized by the authorities, preventing him from leaving the island.

On September 17, Jacho Entertainment hosted a press conference at House of Angostura, Laventille, to assure prospective patrons that although the Jamaican entertainers Bounty Killer and Vybz Kartel have long been in a “musical war”, they were coming to TT as a symbol of unity. The artistes are best known for their lead roles in the ongoing Gully versus Gaza dancehall feud where they have been waging lyrical battles that have been blamed for fuelling gang wars among their fans.

“The idea of bringing these artistes for a concert in Trinidad is to show the youths that at the end of the day, the artistes are entertainers. They have agreed to put aside their differences to promote peace,”concert organiser, Vern Extavour of 99.1FM, said, during that press conference.

Extavour pointed out that the feud between the artistes is purely a lyrical one, so there was no need for concert goers to be concerned. He added that lyrical battles have always been a part of Jamaica’s reggae culture as well as other genres of music, including hip hop, rap, and our very own calypso, soca and extempo.

The Gaza versus Gully feud started off with Bounty Killer taking the first “punch” at Vybz Kartel in a song called “Chatter Box”. A few days later Vybz Kartel released “Bownty’s Killa”. Bounty then replied suggesting that Vybz Kartel’s song was a “Wata Chune”. Vybz Kartel, born Adidja Azim Palmer on January 7, 1976 in Kingston, is well known for his hard hitting ghetto lyrics and rival showdowns with Bounty Killer and other popular Jamaican artistes, including Movado.

Kartel sells only 8 copies in first week

In a poll that was recently conducted to compare the popularity of Vybz Kartel and Mavado saw Vybz Kartel topping Mavado, Beenie Man, Bounty Killer and was also awarded for having the largest internet fan base. Somehow, only eight persons of Vybz Kartel’s huge fan base went out to buy his album “Pon Di Gaza” that was independently released via Adidjahiem Records/NotNice Records.

According to figures from Nielsen SoundScan “Pon Di Gaza” only sold eight copies while he got 519 individual downloads of various songs off the album in its first week.

Even though many of our local acts are popular, both locally and abroad, the sale of albums from dancehall stars are not so impressive. Highest recorded sale from a Jamaican artiste for this year belongs to Sean Paul’s Imperial Blaze, which reportedly sold over 30, 000 units in its first week.

OutAroad.com wishes to use this medium to urge dancehall lovers to go out and support your favourite Jamaican artiste album so they can make impressive debuts on the Billboard and various international charts.

The Anu people

Source: http://anu-world.com/id32.html

The Anu were the first or original people of this epoch of man’s history. As the original (Type I) Homo Sapiens, their time of dominance extended from around 200,000 years ago to around 25,000 years ago. After that time, another form of man, called Homo Sapiens Sapiens (Type II), became principally dominate.

In terms of stature, the Anu were a short or dominative people; standing around 4′3″ on average. Typically, they had roundish faces, very little body hair, and their skin was of a brownish, melanic hue. Later populations of Anu built the beginnings of major cities and complex societies. Their world comprised civilizations we have yet to fully comprehend. For instance, their later progeny produced the earliest foundations of societies like: pre-dynastic Kemet (Egypt), Sumer, Elam and Chaldea of Mesopotamia, Angkor Wat, the seminal Shang Dynasty in Far East Asia, as well as societies throughout the Amerikas, Oceania and the Pacific Islands. Towards the end of their reign, Anu peoples developed metal smelting; and this was some 30,000 years ago. Around this same time, they also created the concept of fishing using nets – evolved agriculture so that man did not have to wander – originated various styles of arts, crafts, architecture, and the sciences, which later fueled the thematic and intellectual world of what we know as modern empires.

With a brain (size and complexity) comparable to the brain of modern man, the Anu undoubtedly mastered language, and likely communicated on many planes or dimensional levels. Arithmetic, geometry, esoteric proportions and symbology, numerology, astrology and astronomy, geology, philosophy, chemistry, medicine, and other physical, social and metaphysical sciences were their gifts to an unfolding world. Furthermore, it is this author’s belief that these small people where also the first to reveal divine wisdom to humanity; wisdom that has been conveyed through the ages via myths and legends. Then, as translations and interpretation, these revealed bits of wisdom ultimately became what we now know as our Bibles, Qur’an, Gitas, Vedas, Torahs, and many other sacred books of scripture. Although this conclusion may differ from what you have been taught or believe, it is still very much in-line with the physical evidence that is being unearth on a regular basis. And based on what we are currently learning about the Anu people, it is not far-fetched to believe that they were the first people to utter those seminal words; words that link all humanity to the foundations of creation:

“In the beginning God created the heavens and earth.”

English Language 101

A sentence consists of two parts: the subject and the predicate.

The subject is the person or thing that acts or is described in the sentence.

The predicate, on the other hand, is the action or description.

A complete sentence needs both the subject and the predicate.

A sentence can be broken into clauses.

For example:

The boy is going to the school – and he is going to eat there.

This is a complete sentence composed of two clauses.

There are mainly two types of clauses: independent clauses and subordinate clauses.

Independent clauses act as complete sentences, while subordinate clauses cannot stand alone and need another clause to complete their meaning.

For example:

Independent clause: The boy went to the school.
Subordinate clause: After the boy went to the school…

A group of two or more grammatically linked words that do not have subject and predicate is a phrase.

For example:

The girl is at home – and tomorrow she is going to the amusement park.

You can see that “the amusement park” is a phrase located in the second clause of the complete sentence above.

A phrase acts like a part of speech inside a clause. That is, it can act as a noun, an adjective, an adverbs and so on.

Jews to begin construction of altar

The Temple Institute will begin building the sacrificial altar on Thursday, Tisha B’av, a fast day when Jews mourn the destruction of the Temple some 2,000 years ago.

The sacrificial altar was located in the center of the Temple, and upon it the Kohanim (priests) offered the numerous voluntary and obligatory sacrifices commanded in the Bible.

The Temple Institute, which has already built many of the vessels for the Holy Temple, such as the ark and the menorah, has now embarked on a project to build the altar. Construction begins Thursday in Mitzpe Yericho (east of Jerusalem) at 5:30 p.m.

“Unfortunately, we cannot currently build the altar in its proper place, on the Temple Mount,” Temple Institute director Yehudah Glick said. “We are building an altar of the minimum possible size so that we will be able to transport it to the Temple when it is rebuilt.”

Even a minimum size altar will work out to be approximately 4 meters tall, 6 meters long, and 6 meters wide. Workers have collected around 10 cubic meters of rocks weighing several tons already.

The rocks were gathered from the Dead Sea area and wrapped individually to assure they remain whole and are not touched by metal, as the Bible requires.

“The Torah says that no iron tools should be used on the altar’s stones,” Glick explained. “The altar represents a connection to life and to the creation of the world. Iron is the opposite – it is used to build tools of war, death, and destruction.”

The stones will be cemented together with a mixture of sand, clay, tar, and asphalt. Researchers from the Temple Institute visited the Finish glass factory near Yerucham to learn how to create a mixture which would remain as cool as possible under the altar’s unremitting fires and protect the Kohanim, who always worked in the Temple barefoot.

Glick said that Tisha B’av, a day associated with mourning, is really the ideal time to begin to build the Temple. “People mistakenly think Tisha B’av is only a day to cry,” he explained. “It also has to be a day of action. We have the ability in our era to begin the construction of the Temple.”

“There are many positive developments recently with regard to the Temple,” Glick added. “Hundreds of Jews visited the Temple Mount this week, and more and more continue to come, after undergoing the requisite ritual immersion.”
