Hello - A request from CANADA !
My reason for seeking contacts are I’m Disabled and I collect Coins, Banknotes and Stamps from countries worldwide and I looking for some help from others who could help me with this. If you are kind enough to send me some Bank Notes from your country, Please send the Nicest / Newest notes. Unless, if you have any only notes, that would be very good also.
This may sound as a strange request to you, but being disabled & shut in all winter in Canada, there’s not much to do & this is a pass-time for me.
Any help that could give me on this would be greatly appreciated. If you do send me something, Please include your email address also.
If you have any questions, Please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Truth Truth Truth - Blackman and Slavery!
I must congratulate Michael Dingwall for honesty and bravery. I have being voicing the exact sentiments as him only to be denied my stand on the platform. The sooner we as black people come to terms and face the truth, we will be forever carrying that log on our backs. Mr. Dingwall is right. The black man has to apologize to himself and kind. Maybe I am wrong in this assumption, but I fear that the black man today is still very much enslaved. (His mind).
We must never forget the past, but let us live now and for the future. No amount of apologies from whosoever is going to remove the indelible stain left by both black and white during those terrible periods of man's living history.

Slavery and Reparations
Michael Dingwall should go to www.whatreallyhappened.com also www.rense.com and read all about the Holocaust. Then he can write in his column that the Jews should give back the money and not accept reparations. Then I will believe that he is a man of conviction and fairness.

RE: Do black women like being abuse
I just read Mr. Dingwall’s ignorant, and I must add, misogynistic article entitled "Do black women like being abused?"
It's that kind of ignorance and misogyny brought on by abusive fathers, who young girls watch "beat there mother's to a pulp", that leads women to equate love with abuse. It is seeing where mothers abused in a society that perpetuates violence against women.
We see the exploitation every where, including newspapers who encourage scantily clad women to grace there front pages selling papers, and images to young women as nothing more than objects for male enjoyment and domination.
I don't believe Mr. Dingwall wants to stop the violence, because his article itself is emotionally abusive. It encourages the misogyny of his abusive fellows by perpetuate the myth that these women actually enjoy abuse. DINGWALL IS A PRICK. Yes I am resorting to name calling because he is. I am sure when someone sees his girl wearing glasses they will know why.

READ THIS LET IT REALLY SINK IN - THEN CHOOSE
John is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, 'If I were any better, I would be twins!' He was a natural motivator.
If an employee was having a bad day, John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked him, 'I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?' He replied, 'Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or ... you can choose to be in a bad mood I choose to be in a good mood'.
Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can choose to
learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me
complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or... I can point out
the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life. 'Yeah,
right, it's not that easy,' I protested. 'Yes, it is,' he said. 'Life is
all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a
choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people
affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood.
The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life.' I reflected on what he
said. Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business.
We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about
life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard that he was
involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications
tower. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was
released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. I saw him about
six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, 'If
I were any better, I'd be twins...Want to see my scars?' I declined to see
his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the
accident took place. 'The first thing that went through my mind was the
well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter,' he replied. 'Then, as I lay on
the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live
or...I could choose to die. I chose to live.' 'Weren't you scared? Did you
lose consciousness?' I asked He continued, '..the paramedics were great.
They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into
the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I
got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'. I knew I needed
to take action.' 'What did you do?' I asked. 'Well, there was a big burly
nurse shouting questions at me,' said John. 'She asked if I was allergic to
anything 'Yes, I replied.' The doctors and nurses stopped working as they
waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity'.' Over
their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I
am alive, not dead.' He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but
also because of his amazing attitude... I learned from him that every day
we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about
itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.' Matthew 6:34. After all
today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. You have two choices.

NOT APOLOGIZING FOR ISLAM
The mass of Muslim scholars, writers, and theorists apologize for Islam and explain it to the public. One young woman from Los Angeles California is making strides by addressing the Islamic world itself. Her latest statement is as follows:
My philosophy is simple. It is one of change and understanding. It is one of strengthening our Ummah (worldwide Muslim community) and encouraging all Muslims in dialogue. I believe we are free to ask the questions in our mind, to seek answers rather than be afraid of the way we will be received by our fellow Muslims. All Muslims should be able to seek knowledge freely, and not settle for the answer that that is just simply Allah's will. It is not a heretical act to understand God, but this is the way any inquiry into Islam is perceived.
I believe that Muslims need to stop segregating themselves based on ethnicity and nationality,
economic status and education, between sects and tribes. These divisions are false and man-made. I believe the educated Muslim has a duty to help lift up the one that is struck by poverty and mislead through influence.
I strongly believe that if Muslims can organize on a global level against something like cartoons about Islam, then so can we for the countless times someone is killed in the name of Islam -
for the beheadings of humanitarian relief workers, for those innocent lives stolen in reprisals, for the Muslim who is killed simply because he is Shiite or Sunni, Kurd or Arab...
It is not that there is no Muslim Ummah, or that we are not united...but that we show strength only when Islam is criticized. Yet we remain silent when honor killings occur on a daily basis over the smallest act of independent thinking. We remain silent when we see corruption in our own community. We remain silent because we believe that is what is expected of us...but by whom?
We remain silent because we have not realized our potential, or what we can accomplish if we are united. How is it that we can take time off work and drive four hours for a protest against the words of a foreign leader, but we do not raise our voice when the words in our own family betray God... or when our actions betray humanity?
I do not believe that this is all we are - only that this is what we have COME to be for so many reasons. What we are to be remains to be seen. Will we rise to be stars that illuminate the world or will dim our light, one by one, each time we remain silent as the world around us descends deeper into darkness.
The choice is ours to make, but what choice will we make? That answer lies only within you.

Huma Shireen has composed a number of essays and other works on culture and perspective, in addition to a compilation of poetry with strong themes of faith and ideology.
In addition to her own work, Huma Shireen has had the honor of meeting other writers whose work she finds invaluable to the human race and of the utmost importance during this time in human history. She is at present doing what she can to present those works to the appropriate audience, along with seeking to secure a reputable publisher for her own writings, most notably including, Allah's Islam.
Allah’s Islam is a +250 page text that is now ready for publication. What is needed is a publishing company of the highest caliber to begin the process of mass publication. Allah’s Islam has already received considerable interest from individuals, politicians, and theologians, with continuing requests for a greater number of excerpts if not the complete text itself. It has received the highest interest and reviews from people of varying religious and political backgrounds, none greater than the Muslim community. Allah's Islam is beautifully written, with perspective and insight unusual to today's authors and media personalities. It is a text woven together thru facts, history, dreams, personal experience, and an uncanny understanding of the world as it is has come to be, and where it is headed.
But what it also comes down to is that we cannot deny that things are getting worse on a daily basis. What can be done? What is being done that is actually effective? What is a more positive solution to war, to skewed perception, to increased racial and religious tensions?
This is the solution. This is not the only solution but it is far greater than what is currently being done, or not done.

9-11 RELEASES THE TWO TOWERS
On September 11, 2007, The National Association of the American People releases the internationally recognized Two Towers. The Two Towers is a collection of essays and insights entrusted to The NAAP to secure and make available to the American public. Gaining interest and applause from some of the most elite establishments, the work has already developed a massive international following on the grass-root level.
The Two Towers takes the historic events of 9-11, the fall of two of the greatest towers, and begins by finding the symbolism behind these towers. It takes the problem of war and deconstructs it to a fundamental element, an element Two Towers shows repeats itself in history over and over again, always giving rise and justification to wars, injustice, and racism. But it is through an understanding of it, that Two Towers destroys this one element that has always given just cause for the brutality in the world of people witnessed between races and between nations.My philosophy is simple. It is one of change and understanding. It is one of strengthening our Ummah (worldwide Muslim community) and encouraging all Muslims in dialogue. I believe we are free to ask the questions in our mind, to seek answers rather than be afraid of the way we will be received by our fellow Muslims. All
Muslims should be able to seek knowledge freely, and not settle for the answer that that is just simply Allah's will. It is not a heretical act to understand God, but this is the way any inquiry into Islam is perceived.
For the past two years, The NAAP has been vigorously introducing two of the first essays of Two Towers, entitled Man's Curse to Injustice and Excalibur. Man's Curse to Injustice acutely points out exactly what this one element in human history is. It identifies this element as the curse of mankind. Excalibur is the only solution for this curse, and is the essay, which begins the rest of the work, unveiling each layer of modern society and why despite all our advancements mankind on the brink of the greatest wars the world and mutual destruction.
The United Nations and The Olympic Committee, along with several Hollywood Heads are a list of few who have already been made privy to Two Towers. But now, on the anniversary of one of the worst tragedies in American history, The NAAP releases the Two Towers.
An article on Excalibur is currently being negotiated between top political/social magazines, and with successful release, Two Towers is to follow. For more information on the association of the American People, www.TheNaap.org.

AMNESTY - Report 2007: Politics of fear creating a dangerously divided world
(London) Powerful governments and armed groups are deliberately fomenting fear to erode human rights and to create an increasingly polarized and dangerous world, said Amnesty International today as it launched Amnesty International Report 2007, its annual assessment of human rights worldwide.
"Through short sighted, fear-mongering and divisive policies, governments are undermining the rule of law and human rights, feeding racism and xenophobia, dividing communities, intensifying inequalities and sowing the seeds for more violence and conflict," said Irene Khan, Secretary General of Amnesty International.
"The politics of fear is fuelling a downward spiral of human rights abuse in which no right is sacrosanct and no person safe."
"The 'war on terror' and the war in Iraq, with their catalogue of human rights abuses, have created deep divisions that cast a shadow on international relations, making it more difficult to resolve conflicts and protect civilians."
Scarred by distrust and division, the international community was too often impotent or weak-willed in the face of major human rights crises in 2006, whether in forgotten conflicts like Chechnya, Colombia and Sri Lanka or high profiles ones in the Middle East.
The UN took weeks to muster the will to call for a ceasefire in the conflict in Lebanon in which approximately 1,200 civilians lost their lives. The international community showed no stomach to tackle the human rights disaster resulting from severe restrictions on freedom of movement of Palestinians in the Occupied Territories, reckless attacks by the Israeli army and inter-factional fighting among Palestinian groups.
"Darfur is a bleeding wound on world conscience. The UN Security Council is hampered by distrust and double-dealing of its most powerful members. The Sudanese government is running rings around the UN. Meanwhile 200,000 people have died, more than ten times that number have been displaced, and militia attacks are now spreading to Chad and the Central African Republic," said Ms. Khan.
Thriving in an arc of instability, extending from the borders of Pakistan to the Horn of Africa, armed groups flexed their muscles and engaged in massive abuse of human rights and international humanitarian law.
"Unless governments address the grievances on which these groups feed, unless they provide effective leadership to bring these groups to account for the abuses they have committed and are ready to hold themselves accountable, the prognosis for human rights is dire," said Ms Khan.
In Afghanistan, the international community and the Afghan government squandered the opportunity to build an effective state based on human rights and the rule of law, leaving the people to chronic insecurity, corruption and a resurgent Taliban. In Iraq, the security forces incited sectarian violence rather than restrained it, the justice system proved woefully inadequate, and the worst practices of Saddam's regime -“ torture, unfair trials, capital punishment and rape with impunity”- remained very much alive.
"In many countries, a fear-driven political agenda is fuelling discrimination, widening the gap between the 'haves' and the 'have-nots', 'them' and 'us', and leaving the most marginalized people unprotected," said Ms. Khan.
In Africa alone hundreds of thousands of people were evicted forcibly from their homes with no due process, compensation or alternative shelter –- often in the name of progress and economic development.
Politicians played upon the fears of uncontrolled migration to justify tougher measures against asylum-seekers and refugees in Western Europe, while migrant workers were left unprotected and exploited around the world, from South Korea to the Dominican Republic.
The divide between Muslims and non-Muslims deepened, fuelled by discriminatory counter-terrorism strategies in western countries. Incidents of Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, intolerance and attacks on religious minorities increased worldwide.
Meanwhile, hate crimes against foreigners were widespread in Russia while segregation and exclusion of the Roma community were rampant around Europe, illustrating the blatant failure of leadership to combat racism and xenophobia.
"Increasing polarization and heightened fears about national security reduced the space for tolerance and dissent. Around the world, from Iran to Zimbabwe, many independent voices on human rights were silenced in 2006," said Ms Khan.
Freedom of expression was suppressed in a variety of ways from the prosecution of writers and human rights defenders in Turkey, to the killing of political activists in the Philippines, to the constant harassment, surveillance and often imprisonment of human rights defenders in China, to the murder of journalist Anna Politkovskaya and new laws regulating non-governmental organizations in Russia. The Internet became the new frontier in the struggle for dissent as activists were arrested and companies colluded with governments to restrict access to information on-line in countries such as China, Iran, Syria, Vietnam and Belarus.
Old-fashioned repression gained a new lease of life under the guise of fighting terrorism in countries like Egypt, while loosely defined counter-terrorism laws posed a potential threat to free speech in the United Kingdom.
Five years after 9/11, new evidence came to light in 2006 of the way in which the US administration treated the world as one giant battlefield for its 'war on terror', kidnapping, arresting, arbitrarily detaining, torturing and transferring suspects from one secret prison to another across the world with impunity, in what the US termed 'extraordinary renditions'.
"Nothing more aptly portrayed the globalization of human rights violations than the US-led 'war on terror' and its programme of 'extraordinary renditions' which implicated governments in countries as far apart as Italy and Pakistan, Germany and Kenya," said Ms. Khan.
"Ill-conceived counter-terrorism strategies have done little to reduce the threat of violence or ensure justice for victims of terrorism but much to damage human rights and the rule of law globally."
Amnesty International called on governments to reject the politics of fear and invest in human rights institutions and the rule of law at the national and international level.
"There are signs of hope. A momentum was created by European institutions for transparency and accountability on renditions. Thanks to civil society pressure, the UN agreed to develop a treaty to control conventional arms. In a range of countries new leaders and legislatures coming to power have an opportunity to redress the failed leadership that has plagued the human rights scene in recent years. A new US Congress could take the lead in setting the trend, restoring respect for human rights at home and abroad," said Ms Khan.
"Just as global warming requires global action based on international cooperation, the human rights meltdown can only be tackled through global solidarity and respect for international law."

Announcing: New Column Rolling Out For 2008 By Mike Ramey
I am sending this Email along to you, my many friends and supporters of THE MANHOOD LINE to announce a new monthly column project.
The name, if you haven't guessed, is THE GANG LINE.
Ever since I received my national certification more than a year ago, I have noticed more of an increase in gang activity across the country. However, I have also noticed a lot of political infighting, media bypassing, police information withholding, and church backstabbing. The public is the one who will ultimately determine if gangs will stay, and if gangs will go.
Yes, I do consulting with my business, but there are folks who have, for the sake of a few dollars, denied their OWN staffs anti-gang training. THEY seem to figure those who work in juvenile detention centers, Probation, Parole, treatment facilities, education programs, jobs programs, etc. don't have a 'right' to 'be safe'.
I'm checking for interest, and looking for venues where the column could run. Believe me; it will be an Internet primer on the danger of gangs.
You have already seen the 'Gangbanger Vs.' This is the next step in the process. Buzz me back with your comments. The first column will be ready to start running in January, 2008.
