“Even Kings and Emperors with heaps of wealth and vast dominion cannot compare with an ant filled with the love of God.”
― Guru Nanak Ji, Sri Guru Granth Sahib
The Khalsa (Punjabi: ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ; [xaːlsaː]) is the army of all initiated Sikhs represented by the five beloved-ones and can be called the Guru Panth, the embodiment of the Guru and the final temporal Guru/leader of the Sikhs. The word “Khalsa” translates to “pure”.

By relieving the stresses of gravity, floating takes the weight off strained bones, joints and muscles, and increases the efficiency of blood circulation.
This includes a multitude of physical and mental benefits which can be enjoyed by anyone and everyone.
The benefits of regular floating are not only great in number but also backed up by scientific research.
Not to mention the continued medical research proving the benefits of floatation for a wide range of medical challenges.
Below are listed just a few of the many benefits:
General Well-Being
Relaxation
Stress Relief
Rehabilitation and Recovery
Meditation and Mental Harmony
Medical and Health care
The Chinese New Year celebration is one of the largest events in Birmingham, attracting up to 30,000 people. Birmingham’s festivities take place in the Chinese Quarter.
Please accept our apologies for any quality issues in this video clip. Filming was done under heavy rain and winds. It rained heavy all day. But that’s typical British weather; it did not stop us having a great time!
James B Wong – Chairman of the
Chinese Festival Committee Birmingham are the wonderful people that put this event together.

This July marks 30 years in business for WM Creative, a Birmingham-based branding & design agency.
I am proud to say I have been part of the wmcreative team for the last ten years – bringing my digital expertise to meet client needs. I have seen the company evolve.
To mark this occasion and to give something meaningful back, managing director Paul Whitehouse is doing the #wmcreativee30 campaign for Sightsavers:
“I have decided fundraise for Sightsavers. Restoring sight is a gift I want to give.
Simply, I’m trying to raise £3000 for a fantastic charity called Sightsavers.
This will help them restore the sight of thirty children. My challenge is doing thirty 10K runs over a three month period. I am looking for all support I can get – all donations large or small are welcome, they are going to a great charity. Or you may want to join me in one of the runs, you’d be most welcome!”

Held at the Handsworth Fire Station Cllr Narinder Kaur Kooner, working with South & City College Birmingham, Business in the Community and Handsworth Wood CDT.
The Lord and Lady Mayoress of Birmingham will officially open the event at 10am.
Cllr Kooner said: “When I was campaigning to be re-elected, people asked me time and time again: Will you help me get a job? I’m thrilled that ‘Employment Street’ is now all set for 4 April.
“The great thing is that actual jobs, apprenticeships and training will be available on the day to those who impress the employers taking part.
“Hundreds of people came to a similar event at the fire station back in 2011, and I’m sure that this one will be very well supported by the local community. We’ve got a really broad range of employers, looking to employ people of different ages, skills and backgrounds.
“I’m very grateful to Business in the Community and to the Handsworth Wood Community Development Trust for supporting the event, as well as to West Midlands Fire Service for providing the venue and such enthusiastic help.”
Local legendary artist Apache Indian was present to entertain all..
Over 600 attendees & around 300 people have taken up offers of jobs or training programmes!
I was asked to photograph of the ‘The Birmingham Mile’ for Sainsbury’s Sport Relief 2014 event organised by the Birmingham City Council on Sunday 23rd of March at CannonHillPark.
Despite rain, hail and cold weather, many hundreds turned up to do their bit.
