When I look at the Hair and Beauty industry as a whole I see a troubling concern about the future for the American professional services to general consumers. Over the last twenty to thirty years there has been a tremendous shift in the style, class and professional services of operation in the African American Hair and Beauty Industry. I sometimes wonder if the professional practitioners know the difference between daytime, evening, formal and or Avant guard presentation. Or do they care about the value of perception? I know that the public does basically rely on, and at any given time look to their so-called professional hair and beauty consultant to give them reliable personal image consultant advice and services. The problem is that more than two-thirds of the so-called professionals are likely commercial sensational operators that operate from a one-size-fits-all mentality, as it relates to fashion and imagery. This type of servicing will have a tendency sometimes, at leaving far too many in the public behind the fashion curve, and in some cases totally inappropriate for progressive appearances. Then, there is the state of economic security for the professional operators that for the most part operate without the basic security of a "Trade Union," or pension funds for their retirements, and or investment loans. Pierre Toussaint was an African man who was brought to America from Haiti as a slave in 1787 and was given his freedom as a skilled hairstylist for the upper-class white women in New York City. He was so respected for his skills and social advocacy that The Catholic Archdiocese had considered Pierre Toussaint as a candidate for a Saint. In his biography there is a scroll that reads "From Slave to Saint: Pierre Toussaint". It is also a known fact that from the hey days the contributions made by two African American business icons, Madam C. J. Walker and Mrs. Annie Malone, the African American hair and beauty industry have played a major in the success of many businesses in the African American community. In July 1905 the great Madam C.J. Walker developed her own hair-care business called the Madam C.J. Walker products and trade union, which inspired the National Beauty Culturist League. I believe there is a stellar history in the African American community that needs to be reinvested in and modernized for the future of twenty-first century African American cultural professionals. The formulas for success have already been applied in the past but have been abandoned in the present time; and what is needed is a new leadership to bring back the wealth and pride of the African American Hair and Beauty Industry in America.

MY CULTURAL BIRTHRIGHTS AND OTHER BLACK GOLD is about two experiences: my elusive career and my rather interesting, personal life story. Over the years those who know me have told me repeatedly that I have had an exciting life and that I should tell my story. I hope that there is something in these words that can inspire someone to become better in their life journey, by reading my life examples of the good and bad experiences and knowing some of the facts that are seldom talked about in the hair, health and beauty industry, an industry that has made so many people wealthy and an industry that I have personally spent most of my life working in and enjoying. MY CULTURAL BIRTHRIGHTS AND OTHER BLACK GOLD also tells the story of my blessed life that has taken me to so many places, met many incredible people like First Lady Michelle Obama, President Nelson Mandela or Muhammad Ali, and allowed me to experience so many things that most people have not seen or would know very little about in a lifetime. It has been an incredible ride. And I thank God for allowing me to take this journey and share my feelings of love and pride for my family, loved ones and friends.

After living in Chicago for many years I cannot tell you about the many times that I have asked myself and others about the social community lifestyle of citizens in the city of Chicago. It is safe to say that there have been many first and great people and preliminary enactments that have taken place in Chicago. The spirit to create something from nothing, or to achieve what others might think is impossible, has always been the characteristic of the city of Chicago and its citizens. There has always been a "Yes I can" do and an "I will" spirit among the residents of Chicago. When those slogans are carried out progressively, and or with vigor, it has been proven that there are absolutely no limits of expectations in Chicago.In knowing what I know about the in creditable legacy of Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable; the first non-native settler and founder of Chicago: it is clear to me and many others that the spirit of DuSable can and does define a lot of important decisions and leadership for all over America and the world. What makes the phenomenon so surreal is that the narrative of characteristics is being based on an American immigrant man of African descent.

The first volume of a comprehensive and authentic book on the history of Pathans is ready for unveiling covering its history from per-historic period that also includes cultural heritage traditions and history of Pathan land etc. To many a people the name Pathan suggest a native of Afghanistan or that of the North West Frontier of Pakistan. To most the race itself with its extremely complicated ramification into various tribes and clans is a mystery. This study is an attempt to unravel that mystery writes author of the Book Brigadier(R) Haroon Rashid SI(M) a son of Kohat soil. The book titled History of the Pathans Vol_1 The Sarabani Pathans has a total of ten volumes.The 475 pages book has 37 chapters starting from history of the pathan land and ended up at the Urmors and Bareches. The first volume of the book dealt with Sarabani Pathans which has been categorized into process of ethnologist tribal movements the Tarins the Durranis the Sheranis the Miana tribe including the Lunis the Khetrans the Hasnis the Nahars the Gharshins the Jafars and the Urmors. The book also contained a number of rare photographs of Afghan Kings like Dost Muhammad Khan Barakzai Akbar Khan Habibullah Khan Nadar Shah Amir Muhammad Khan Shah Shujaul Mulk Amir Abdur Rehman and Zahir Shah. To know about the ingredients which make Pathans indomitable race one has to go deep into their history tradition and life style. This work is an endeavor in this context with a view to compile a comprehensive and authentic history of this brave race which so far has been either dealt with summarily or in piecemeal. In the introduction chapter the Pathan has been described as a hard rugged man as a warrior and a mystic a rogue and a saint foxy and innocent chivalrous and ruthless. A Pathan is born free and wants to remain free.

Es gibt einen medizinischen Zustand, der Thrombophilie genannt wird, bei dem der menschliche K rper eine erh hte Neigung zur Bildung von Blutgerinnseln hat oder nicht in der Lage ist, Gerinnsel abzubauen. Tiefe Venenthrombose und Lungenembolie sind die Hauptmanifestationen von VTE aufgrund erblicher Ursachen, wohingegen arterielle Thrombose haupts chlich mit Myokardinfarkt (MI) und Schlaganfall (CVA) auftritt, zusammen sind sie die h ufigsten Todesursachen in den entwickelten L ndern (Wienke A, et al, 2005).Die erblichen Anomalien, die zu einem erh hten Risiko f r Thrombose, ven s oder arteriell, f hren, k nnen in zwei Hauptgruppen kategorisiert werden, n mlich Die vererbbaren Anomalien, die zu einem erh hten Thromboserisiko, sei es ven s oder arteriell, f hren, k nnen in zwei Hauptgruppen eingeteilt werden: Zum einen die Verminderung der gerinnungshemmenden Funktion, d.h. der Mangel an nat rlichen Antikoagulantien (Protein C, Protein S und Antithrombin), und zum anderen die erh hte Aktivit t der Prokoagulantien, d.h. der Faktor Vleiden und der Prothrombin G20210A Polymorphismus (Hoffbrand AV, et al, 2005).

Esiste una condizione medica, chiamata trombofilia, in cui il corpo umano ha una maggiore tendenza a formare coaguli di sangue o l'organismo non in grado di rompere i coaguli. La trombofilia pu essere ereditaria o acquisita. La trombosi venosa profonda e l'embolia polmonare sono le principali manifestazioni di TEV dovute a cause ereditarie, mentre la trombosi arteriosa si presenta principalmente con infarto del miocardio (MI) e ictus (CVA), che insieme sono le cause pi comuni di morte nei Paesi sviluppati (Wienke A, et al, 2005). Le anomalie ereditarie che portano a un aumento del rischio di trombosi, venosa o arteriosa, possono essere classificate in due gruppi principali: riduzione della capacit anticoagulante e riduzione della capacit di coagulazione. La riduzione della funzione anticoagulante, ossia la carenza di anticoagulanti naturali (proteina C, proteina S e antitrombina) e quelle derivanti da un'aumentata attivit procoagulante, ossia il fattore Vleiden e il polimorfismo G20210A della protrombina (Hoffbrand AV, et al, 2005).Studi recenti condotti negli Stati Uniti e in Europa hanno suggerito una maggiore associazione tra la carenza di anticoagulanti naturali e la trombosi arteriosa con conseguente IHD e ictus (Wienke A, et al, 2005).

Existe uma condi o m dica chamada trombofilia, na qual o corpo humano tem uma maior tend ncia para formar co gulos sangu neos ou o corpo incapaz de os desfazer. A trombofilia pode ser heredit ria ou adquirida. A trombose venosa profunda e a embolia pulmonar s o as principais manifesta es de TEV devido a causas heredit rias, enquanto a trombose arterial se apresenta principalmente com enfarte do mioc rdio (MI) e acidente vascular cerebral (AVC), que, em conjunto, s o as causas de morte mais comuns nos pa ses desenvolvidos (Wienke A, et al, 2005). A redu o da fun o anticoagulante, ou seja, a defici ncia de anticoagulantes naturais (prote na C, prote na S e antitrombina) e as resultantes do aumento da atividade pr -coagulante, ou seja, o polimorfismo do fator Vleiden e da protrombina G20210A (Hoffbrand AV, et al, 2005). Estudos recentes realizados nos EUA e na Europa sugeriram uma maior associa o da defici ncia de anticoagulantes naturais com a trombose arterial que conduz doen a isqu mica do cora o e ao acidente vascular cerebral (Wienke A, et al, 2005).

La thrombophilie est un tat pathologique dans lequel le corps humain a une tendance accrue former des caillots sanguins ou est incapable d' liminer les caillots. La thrombophilie peut tre h r ditaire ou acquise. La thrombose veineuse profonde et l'embolie pulmonaire sont les principales manifestations de la MTEV dues des causes h r ditaires, tandis que la thrombose art rielle se manifeste principalement par un infarctus du myocarde (IM) et un accident vasculaire c r bral (AVC), qui sont les causes les plus fr quentes de d c s dans les pays d velopp s (Wienke A, et al, 2005). Les anomalies h r ditaires entra nant un risque accru de thrombose, veineuse ou art rielle, peuvent tre class es en deux groupes principaux: la r duction de l'anticoagulabilit et l'augmentation de la r sistance aux antibiotiques. Les anomalies h r ditaires entra nant un risque accru de thrombose, veineuse ou art rielle, peuvent tre class es en deux groupes principaux: la r duction de la fonction anticoagulante, c'est- -dire le d ficit en anticoagulants naturels (prot ine C, prot ine S et antithrombine) et celles r sultant d'une activit procoagulante accrue, c'est- -dire le facteur Vleiden et le polymorphisme G20210A de la prothrombine (Hoffbrand AV, et al,2005).Des tudes r centes men es aux tats-Unis et en Europe ont sugg r une association accrue entre le d ficit en anticoagulants naturels et la thrombose art rielle conduisant l'IHD et l'AVC (Wienke A, et al,2005).
