Balakrishnan-Lekshminarayanan_2168865.jpg?width=350By Balakrishnan Lekshminarayanan |  Now-a-days, people travel in plane to overseas destinations for various purposes. Sometimes the period of travel by air may extent up to a day. If you book a non-window seat, you might feel as well bored. On the other hand, the people who have opted for the window seat would be able to watch the natural wonders happening through the transparent windows. This is why primarily people opt for window seat for a plane journey. In this article, we would be listing o

On September 18, 2016, we will begin our 7th series of I Ching Workshops Online GIVE THANKS, WE ARE ON FOR THE 7TH SERIES!!!

"7"
Is a magic number. so let's talk about magic. Too bad magic has gotten such a bad reputation over the years, scaring folks away from using their own, place a shroud of contempt all around it; while the very ones who are screaming about how demonic it is are using magic on the masses everyday.

Everything is magic, everything is energy and energy is magic as well as magic

Elle-Michelle-Anderson_1630510.jpgBy Elle Michelle Anderson | Normally, I avoid speaking publicly on controversial topics that are driven by politics, religion, or race. However, as a concerned mother and aunt of young adult and teenage African American males, I find it extremely difficult to be silent about the racially-charged violence against young black males by those in whom authority is entrusted. Of course, this type of violence against young black males is not new. In my opinion, it only appears that it has just recently

Olayemi-Fakolade_1553993.jpgBy Olayemi Fakolade | The early sunshine that rose on that day was the first sign that it was a special day. The sun's intensity was just right for the occasion, and showed that heaven was quite happy with the earth. It was a bright and warm day. The daylight shone brilliantly in the clear, blue sky. Suddenly, the bright shining sun began to give way for thick dark clouds, lightning flashed across the sky. A storm was coming. Everyone present wondered at the unpredictability of the weather, it w

7fdee72f-7954-4e5b-91ba-b725d7c045b3.jpgNinety-six years ago, women in the United States won the right to vote after a century of struggle. Suffragettes were mocked, demonized, beaten and jailed. They refused to back down and finally on August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution became law.

Today many feminists are thinking of using that hard-won right to vote for Hillary Clinton. They want to vote for the first female president, an historic event, and to vote down the frighteningly sexist, racist Donald Trump. Radical Wom

Akyaaba Addai-Sebo | Where is the Pan-African spirit? The absence of African solidarity with African Americans who are being killed in US cities by state security forces driven by white supremacy is deeply saddening. From all over Africa, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia, Black people must rise up to condemn the killing of our sisters and brothers in the US and offer any support we can to the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

What%2BHappened%2Bto%2BDr.png?width=320NB Commentary: By now folks all over the world have heard about Dr. Sebi making his transition to the astral plane. There has certainly been a lot of speculation around his transition. What I like to do, especially after viewing the articles, videos and comments on certain subjects; is to consult the I Ching Oracle to see if I can get a clear picture of what "really" took place.
Below you will find my comments, an article about his incarceration and subsequent transition and a video playlist that

Dickson-Adom_2176808.jpg?width=560By Dickson Adom | Art repatriation refers to the return of works of art or cultural objects to their country of origin or former owners. These items were forcefully taken away from their original owners or creators in their homelands as a result of war, colonialism or imperialism. Repatriation is a hotly debated subject which is ongoing and its fire has little hopes of entirely dying out.
