Sankofa.Org Issues Statement Urging Artists and People to Stand up and Demand Social Justice in Ferguson

Leave a comment

We at Sankofa.org, along with the rest of the world, have been riveted and dismayed upon witnessing the blatant oppression in Ferguson, MO of people, mostly Black Americans who have attempted to peacefully demonstrate and stand up for the violation of their natural civil and human rights.

New York, NY, September 07, 2014 – We at Sankofa.org, along with the rest of the world, have been riveted and dismayed upon witnessing the blatant oppression in Ferguson, MO of people, mostly Black Americans who have attempted to peacefully demonstrate and stand up for the violation of their natural civil and human rights. Sankofa is deeply heartbroken that yet another black mother and father has suffered the pain and death of their unarmed child as a result of a questionable and unmitigated act of violence. Our hearts go out to all the family and friends of Michael Brown.

Sankofa.org applauds the courage and bravery of the Ferguson community who have united together and also galvanized a national and international outcry to end the militarization by the police and restore hope and peace in their community.

“We appreciate all the artists and people alike who are heeding our call and speaking out to answer the question, What Do You Stand For?” says Co-Director, Gina Belafonte. One of Sankofa.org’s core missions is to end systemic violence in our society. Sankofa.org believes, like its founder Harry Belafonte, that as a community of artists we must be a counterbalance, a communication channel, to inform, educate, inspire and empower. Sankofa.org intends to do its part to re-ignite the kind of activism that just doesn’t petition for a “more perfect union,” but demands it. As Martin Luther King, Jr., stated succinctly, “Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom.”

Raoul Roach, Co-Director stated, “Although we applaud the move by the Justice Department to open a Civil Rights investigation into policing practices in Ferguson and surrounding communities, we see this as only a first step.” It is now the people’s responsibility to make the “State” (i.e., local, state and federal authorities), accountable to its citizenry, and make it clear that we demand swift action. That demand will only be taken seriously if we make the State uncomfortable in its ability to delay justice and allow oppression to continue in communities like Ferguson.

Sankofa.org is working and building coalitions on the ground in Ferguson and around the country. The organization recently sent artists and activists to Missouri to assess, connect and identify indigenous leadership and work with them to find tactical solutions that will hopefully bring true and lasting empowerment to the Ferguson community. Sankofa.org is also continuing to convene meetings beyond Ferguson to identify meaningful support and resources.

Sankofa.org urges citizens of the United States and the world to join this necessary movement, to be fervently persistent and to let the people’s voices ring loudly and continue to demonstrate for justice. We encourage artists and activists to speak out, organize and use their tools and craft to support communities like Ferguson. We will not end social injustice unless we maintain our vigilance and leverage our political, economic and cultural strength to demand and achieve non-violent and lasting change.

Sankofa is a social justice organization founded by iconic activist/entertainer Harry Belafonte that enlists the support of today’s most celebrated artists and influential individuals in collaboration with grassroots partners to elevate the voices of the disenfranchised, and to promote peace and equality.

THE NEW STAPLE ~ A COLLARED SHIRT REDESIGNED FOR WOMEN, FROM MY KIYA

Leave a comment

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, September 04, 2014, MY KIYA is pleased to announce that their official Kickstarter campaign starts September 1st, 2014 and runs for 30 days through September 30th, 2014. MY KIYA set out to take the traditional collared shirt and make it into a real shirt for women.

Their products give the look of a professional collared shirt, and combine the comfort and fit of a camisole, all in one! They can be worn under a sweater, cardigan or jacket. These products allow women to go to their closet and put together an outfit that is professional looking and comfortable to take them through their day.

MAX Agency Press Release – September 04, 2014

Leave a comment

MAX Agency has met and recruited Toronto Models and Toronto Actors from all walks of life. We spoke with Myles Deck, a Toronto MAX Talent.

Toronto, ON, September 04, 2014 – MAX Agency has met and recruited Toronto Models and Toronto Actors from all walks of life. We spoke with Myles Deck, a Toronto MAX Talent. Myles moved to Toronto a couple of years ago after graduating from University to pursue his music career when he was scouted on the street, “I’d always get comments about pursuing modeling and background acting and two years ago one of the MAX Agency scouts ran into me and gave me a card. So I took the chance and signed up with them.”

I asked Myles about his education aside from his degree in biology from Acadia University and asked if he has studied acting and he had this to say,

“I’m considering taking acting classes. I am a musician. I’m a drummer primarily but I dabble in different areas of music. I started playing piano when I was a little kid and the guitar and I teach little kids music as well. I’m in a band right now. It’s a heavy metal band called Cauldron and we just started working on a new album. It will be a self release.”

Myles was a newcomer to the acting and modeling world when he came to MAX Agency a few years ago and we asked how things have been with MAX Agency so far, “So far I’ve had a few auditions and I got a job doing a commercial for Jose Quervo titled ‘Have a Story’ and it starred Kiefer Sutherland. It was very professional on the set and there was always someone there to tell me where I needed to be. It was very organized. They looked after the actors’ petty well and they kept who the star was a secret and then Kiefer Sutherland walked into the room and the energy changed.”

As a result of being cast in the Jose Quervo commercial Myles Deck was able to earn his first ACTRA credit and become an ACTRA Apprentice, “I thought about joining the union for sometime. I got some literature and read up on it and thought may be it would open some more doors.”

Beyond Myles commercial which has become a wild success and has resulted in some pretty handsome residuals Myles is optimistic about making Toronto acting and Toronto modeling a part of his career alongside music and Arts and Entertainment as a whole, “Things have been good with MAX and very professional overall. I would love to take the free acting course with The Talent Shop Academy and I’m looking forward to more auditions.”

MAX Agency’s Bookers are currently looking for new Talent! If you are interested we highly recommend visiting maxagency.com and filling out an Application. Wishing MAX continued success in the industry we’re looking forward to future press releases featuring individual talent and projects and finding out more about MAX!

Mods4cars Announces SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for Jaguar F-Type Convertible

Leave a comment

The SmartTOP add-on Convertible Top Controller made by Mods4cars will soon be available for the Jaguar F-Type Convertible. The automotive electronics specialist expects to be able to ship the clever controller before the end of this year. This makes it possible for Jaguar owners to join the other happy convertible owners and enjoy the convenience of being able to raise and lower the top with just a quick push of a button as well as from afar with the original factory key remote.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), September 01, 2014 — Before the end of this year the after-market SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller developed and marketed by Mods4cars will be available for the Jaguar F-Type. It allows full automatic one-touch top operation. A quick, single touch of the console switch is enough to raise or lower the top. It is no longer necessary to hold down the switch and wait for the top to finish. Additionally, the module will automatically raise the windows if desired.

With the SmartTOP kit installed it is also possible to control the top from a distance, using just the original key fob remote. A quick key combination on the fob activates full automatic top operation. This makes it possible to already lower the top while still approaching the car; a very useful feature on hot days to air out the car. A parked car can quickly be closed remotely at the first sign of rain. All that is required is the existing original car key.

Like all SmartTOP modules there is a host of bonus features which all can be configured to individual needs. It is possible to control the windows separately from the top by remote, the console top switch direction can be reversed and an extended mode can be enabled which allows top operation to continue when starting or stopping the engine. The entire module can be disabled temporarily if needed while retaining all user settings for later.

Thanks to the standard USB port on the module, it can be conveniently configured and updated with any PC or Mac. Support software and firmware updates are available online and free of charge. A custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter makes installing the kit a quick and easy endeavor for anyone.

“We are happy to be able to announce our first SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for the Jaguar brand with the upcoming kit for the Jaguar F-Type Convertible.“ explains PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “After the kit for Lamborghini Gallardo Spider and the new BMW 4 Series Convertible, this will be the third new module we’re bringing to market this year.” he continues. With this latest addition, the following brands are supported now: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo und VW.

A first demonstration video can be seen here:

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.
