LOVE
By  Mahatma Gandhi
I endeavour to represent love in every fibre of my being…I discovered that, if i was to realise Truth, I must obey, even at the cost of my life, the law of love. And having been blessed with children, I discovered that the law of Love could be best understood and learned through little children. Were it not for us…our children would be perfectly innocent. I believe that the child is not born mischievous in the bad sense of the term. If parents would behave themselves whilst the child is growing, before it is born and after, the child would instinctively obey the law of Truth and the law of Love. Understanding this, I began a gradual but distinct change in life…
To the extent that i have represented Love in my life, in thought, word, and ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Publisher&#8217;s Note – May 2008
Meet a new friend, HK.

I know that HK is a name that sounds like someone you will want to get to know. And by its look, HK is friendly. HK stands for good health, good living, wellness lifestyle and diverse information about health issues.
As publisher of Healthy Knowledge, I am pleased to introduce HK to you.
HK is not the first health and lifestyle magazine that you would have seen or read. Though HK is unique in its own way, and it is our hope that it will be an essential resource for you.

HK is relevant. Our health issues may largely be the same as in other ethnic groups, but we will focus our information on the different diseases and treatments pertaining to the Black community. We hope to shatter myths, address problems and confront tough questions. ...]]></description>

		<title>Emancipation &#8211; abolition of slavery Aug 1, 1834</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Emancipation Day
August 1, 2008
WHEREAS under the leadership of Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe, Toronto was founded with a commitment to the abolition of slavery through the passage of the Anti-Slavery Act on July 9, 1793, thereby becoming the first jurisdiction in the British Commonwealth to move toward the abolition of slavery.
In 1807, the British government abolished the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade which, with the enactment of legislation on August 28, 1833, led to the abolition of slavery across the British Empire as of August 1, 1834; a considerable feat credited largely to advocacy efforts of abolitionists and people of African origin, including freed slaves.
In 1998, the Government of Ontario enacted a bill to proclaim August 1 as Emancipation Day to recognize the struggle for human rights, and the heritage and contributions being made to Canada by African Canadians. This day is ...]]></description>

		<title>YOUR GENES: THE YOU IN YOUR FAMILY</title>
		<description><![CDATA[YOUR GENES: THE YOU IN YOUR FAMILY
(from HK magazine – March 2011)  By Dr. Odillia Osakwa
No man is an island; human beings cannot exist nor thrive without others. “All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language…..” John Donne.
The biology of the living systems informs us that physical and genetic traits ultimately define and distinguish every individual as a separate and unique entity, but which is not unconnected with another. Just liken the human being to a plant that emanates from a little seed which without; the seed would not have existed in the first place. This ‘seed’ represents the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid). The DNA sequence is made up of alphabets ( biological molecules) that are the templates for ...]]></description>

		<title>Political correctness hurting statistics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[AN INTERVIEW WITH HK PUBLISHER on Ethnicity in Health 
‘Political correctness hurting statistics,’ says speaker. By Carol Mulligan – The Sudbury Star
It’s time to put political correctness aside when reporting health statistics in Canada and break them down according to ethnicity, says the editor of a health wellness and lifestyle magazine.
Canadians have the right to understand how their ethnic origin may predispose them to disease so they can take steps to prevent illness, said Liz E. Philbert.
Philbert, editor of Healthy Knowledge (HK) magazine, was guest speaker at the Black History Month Celebration held by the Afro Heritage Association of Sudbury on the weekend. 
Originally from Trinidad, the magazine editor said she often draws on American statistics when writing about illness because they are broken down according to ethnicity.
That is seen as ‘not politically correct’ in Canada, but ‘at some point, ...]]></description>

National Post, Tue Jun 28 2011 Page: A4 Section: News Byline: Althia Raj Dateline: OTTAWA Source: Postmedia News

OTTAWA &#8211; Blacks in Canada need to unite, rise up and address the deep racism in this country that keeps them out of positions of power, a Conservative senator says.
&#8220;What will it take for our collective Afro-Canadian family to unite &#8212; to rise up and claim our rightful place in Canadian society?&#8221; Conservative Senator Don Oliver recently asked in keynote speech to black professionals.

Despite being the fourth-largest visible minority group in Canada , blacks continue to be victims of racism and are under-represented in high-level positions, including on Parliament Hill, Sen. Oliver said on Monday, Canadian Multiculturalism Day.
