JAHMENE DOUGLAS AND LONDON COMMUNITY GOSPEL CHOIR WILL ALSO PERFORM
In aid of The Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust
"I would like Stephen to be remembered as a young man who had a future. He was well loved, and had he been given the chance to survive maybe he would have been the one to bridge the gap between black and white because he didn't distinguish between black or white. He saw people as people” Doreen Lawrence
In just two weeks time Ellie Goulding will take to the stage alongside some of the biggest names in British music for ‘Unity – A Concert for Stephen Lawrence’. Also performing at the concert will be Jahmene Douglas and the London Community Gospel Choir.
Ellie said: "I am thrilled to be joining the line up alongside amazing artists for such a worthwhile event - to be able to use music for a good cause is a dream for me so I hope that everyone who comes has a fantastic night and that the message will help to make positive and meaningful changes to peoples' lives. This is about all of us uniting for social empowerment."
The concert aims to unite communities and bring people of all backgrounds together through the common language of music. It marks the 20th anniversary of Stephen Lawrence’s murder. Through the work of Stephen’s mother, Doreen Lawrence and The Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust, Britain is changing but there is still much more to be done. The SL20 campaign, set up by the Trust to mark this important anniversary, aims to highlight Stephen’s legacy and the vital work undertaken by the charity in his name. This concert will play a pivotal role in the SL20 initiative.

Unity chalice:
Earth...clay
Wood...aspen collar
Metal...brass corners and feet
Water...water in glass container in bowl
Fire...lit tea light floating in water
Pyramid base gives it pyramid power and each face represents a season and a direction
Base of pyramid is square, corners and faces are triangles, bowl is round bringing in the cosmic shapes of Triangle Circle and Square.
Base of pyramid is green which represents abundance
Aspen collar adds a colorado home feeling
Tradtional Japanese Raku fired with Western raku twist. .... East meet West and old meets new
Kintsukuroi ....the crack which happened during firing is highlighted with gold as opposed to trying to hide its flaws
Body of pyramid is hollow with a false bottom to store away prayers, wishes, poems, ashes, bones
And other such relics.

Oktoberfest (German pronunciation: [ɔkˈtoːbɐˌfɛst]) is the world's largest Volksfest (beer festival and travelling funfair). Held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, it is a 16- to 18-day folk festival running from mid or late September to the first weekend in October, with more than six million people from around the world attending the event every year. Locally, it is often called the Wiesn, after the colloquial name for the fairgrounds, Theresa's meadows (Theresienwiese). The Oktoberfest is an important part of Bavarian culture, having been held since the year 1810. Other cities across the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations that are modeled after the original Munich event.
During the event, large quantities of Oktoberfest Beer are consumed: during the 16-day festival in 2013, for example, 7.7 million litres (66,000 US bbl; 1,700,000 imp gal) were served.[1] Visitors also enjoy numerous attractions, such as amusement rides, sidestalls, and games. There is also a wide variety of traditional foods available.
The Munich Oktoberfest originally took place in the 16-day period leading up to the first Sunday in October. In 1994, this longstanding schedule was modified in response to German reunification. As such, if the first Sunday in October falls on the 1st or the 2nd, then the festival would run until 3 October (German Unity Day). Thus, the festival now runs for 17 days when the first Sunday is 2 October and 18 days when it is 1 October. In 2010, the festival lasted until the first Monday in October (4 October), to mark the event's bicentennial.OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Luminar Leisure Ltd was granted a licence to open the 'Oceana' nightclub in 2006, which involved converting Unity House into the venue.
There were concerns, however, from the police that it might increase crime, anti-social behaviour and noise in the city centre.
In April 2008, the plans for this 2,000-capacity superclub in Wakefield have failed in the High Court.
Unity House was formerly the headquarters of the 'Wakefield Industrial Co-Operative Society'. Some twenty years after this building was built co-op became a household name!

Unity Day included displays, artifacts, games/activities, food samples from the different groups as well as live music and dancing. This year's theme was celebrating women. (Photo by Staff Sgt.

Men standing in front of the Unity Pool Room, located at 795 Main Street (between the C.P. Railway and Jarvis). This building also housed the Railway Porter's union (a primarily black occupation) for many years.
Many men in Winnipeg's small black population were employed as porters, and many in the early and mid-20th century lived along Sutherland and Higgins Avenue, close to the C.P. station. This small neighborhood within a neighborhood was invariably known as "the Black Belt" or "the Loop," and anchored by the Porter's Union and businesses at 795 Main, and Pilgrim Baptist Church on Maple and Macdonald Avenue, which still exists as a thriving, largely black congregation at this location.

Its a convent (Aasramam) at Ooty. It well depicts the unity in India's diversity. You can see a Christian chapel, a Mosque and a Hanuman temple at the same campus, next to next.
I tried out various angles but couldnt include all the three in the same frame. This one is the best I got.

Following DOT Public Space Unit’s improvements to create a pedestrian-only zone at the intersection of Jerome Avenue and East Gun Hill Road in the Bronx, DOT Art partnered with the Jerome Gunhill Business Improvement District to present an asphalt mural in the pedestrianized space by Bronx-native Britny Lizet. Titled, “Unity,” the variety of colors in the design intended to stimulate the mind and bring people together. As part of the DOT Public Space Unit’s Street Seats initiative, the space was filled with tables and chairs allowing the mural to become a platform for the community to gather.

Unity Reggae Band put on a great show last night. I've seen them perform several times at Marshy Point's Popsicle Plunge, where they freeze their butts off entertaining the plungers and guests. I was looking forward to hearing what they sound like when they have a good sound man at the controls, and they certainly didn't disappoint.
