Communication No. 931/2000 : Uzbekistan. 08/12/2004.
1. The author of the communication is Raihon Hudoyberganova, an Uzbek national born in 1978. She claims to be a victim of violations by Uzbekistan of her rights under articles 18 and 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. (1) She is not represented by counsel.
2.1 Ms. Hudoyberganova was a student at the Farsi Department at the Faculty of languages of the Tashkent State Institute for Eastern Languages since 1995 and in 1996 she joined the newly created Islamic Affairs Department of the Institute. She explains that as a practicing Muslim, she dressed appropriately, in accordance with the tenets of her religion, and in her second year of studies started to wear a headscarf ("hijab"). According to her, since September 1997, the Institute administration began to seriously limit the right to freedom of belief of practicing Muslims. The existing prayer room was closed and when the students complained to the Institute's direction, the administration began to harass them. All students wearing the hijab were "invited" to leave the courses of the Institute and to study at the Tashkent Islamic Institute instead.
2.2 The author and the concerned students continued to attend the courses, but the teachers put more and more pressure on them. On 5 November 1997, following a new complaint to the Rector of the Institute alleging the infringement of their rights, the students' parents were convoked in Tashkent. Upon arrival, the author's father was told that Ms. Hudoyberganova was in touch with a dangerous religious group which could damage her and that she wore the hijab in the Institute and refused to leave her courses. The father, due to her mother serious illness, took his daughter home. She returned to the Institute on 1 December 1997 and the Deputy Dean on Ideological and Educational matters called her parents and complained about her attire; allegedly, following this she was threatened and there were attempts to prevent her from attending the lectures.
2.3 On 17 January 1998, she was informed that new regulations of the Institute have been adopted, under which students had no right to wear religious dress and she was requested to sign them. She signed them but wrote that she disagreed with the provisions which prohibited students from covering their faces. The next day, the Deputy Dean on Ideological and Educational matters called her to his office during a lecture and showed her the new regulations again and asked her to take off her headscarf. On 29 January the Deputy Dean called the author's parents and convoked them, allegedly because Ms. Hudoyberganova was excluded from the students' residence. On 20 February 1998, she was transferred from the Islamic Affairs Department to the Faculty of languages. She was told that the Islamic Department was closed, and that it was possible to re-open it only if the students concerned ceased wearing the hijab.
2.4 On 25 March 1998, the Dean of the Farsi Department informed the author of an Order by which the Rector had excluded her from the Institute. The decision was based on the author's alleged negative attitude towards the professors and on a violation of the provisions of the regulations of the Institute. She was told that if she changed her mind about the hijab, the order would be annulled.
2.5 As to the exhaustion of domestic remedies, the author explains that on 10 March 1998, she wrote to the Ministry of Education, with a request to stop the infringement of the law in the Institute; allegedly, the result was the loss of her student status on 15 March 1998. On 31 March 1998, she filed a complaint with the Rector, claiming that his decision was illegal. On 13 April 1998, she complained to the Chairman of the Committee of Religious Affairs (Cabinet of Ministers); on 22 April 1998, the Chairman advised her to respect the Institute's regulations. On 14 April 1998, she wrote to the Spiritual Directorate of the Muslims in Uzbekistan, but did not receive "any written reply". On 3 March and 13 and 15 April 1998, she wrote to the Minister of Education and on 11 May 1998, she was advised by the Deputy Minister to comply with the regulations of the Institute.
2.6 On 15 May 1998, a new law "On the Liberty of Conscience and Religious Organisations" entered into force. According to article 14, Uzbek nationals cannot wear religious dress in public places. (2) The administration of the Institute informed the students that all those wearing the hijab would be expelled.
2.7 On 20 May 1998, the author filed a complaint with the Mirabadsky District Court (Tashkent), requesting to have her student rights restored. On 9 June 1998, the legal counsel of the Institute requested the court to order the author's arrest on the ground of the provisions of article 14 of the new law. Ms. Hudoyberganova's lawyer objected that this law violated human rights. According to the author, during the court's sitting on 16 June, her lawyer called on her behalf the lawyer of the Committee of Religious Affairs, who testified that the author's dresses did not constitute a cult dress.
2.8 On 30 June 1998, the Court dismissed the author's claim, allegedly on the ground of the provisions of article 14 of the Law on Freedom of Conscience and Religious Organizations. According to the author, the Institute provided the court with false documents to attest that the administration had warned her that she risked expulsion. The author then requested the General Prosecutor, the deputy Prime-Minister, and the Chairman of the Committee of Religious Affairs, to clarify the limits of the terms of "cult" (religious) dress, and was informed by the Committee that Islam does not prescribe a specific cult dress.
2.9 On 15 July 1998, the author filed an appeal against the District's court decision (of 30 June 1998) in the Tashkent City Court and on 10 September, the City Court upheld the decision. At the end of 1998 and in January 1999, she complained to the Parliament, to the President of the Republic, and to the Supreme Court; the Parliament and the President's administration transmitted her letters to the Supreme Court. On 3 February 1999 and on 23 March 1999, the Supreme Court informed her that it could find no reasons to challenge the courts' decisions in her case.
2.10 On 23 February 1999, she complained to the Ombudsman, and on 26 March 1999 received a copy of the reply to the Ombudsman of the Institute's Rector, where the Rector reiterated that Ms. Hudoyberganova constantly violated the Institute's regulations and behaved inappropriately with her professors, that her acts showed that she belonged to an extremist organisation of Wahabits, and that he had no reason to readmit her as student. On 12 April 1999, she complained to the Constitutional Court and was notified that it had no jurisdiction to deal with her case and that her claim had been channelled to the General Prosecutor's Office, which had forwarded it to the Tashkent Prosecutor's Office. On 30 June 1999, the Tashkent Prosecutor's Office informed her that there were no reasons to annul the court's rulings in her case. On 1 July 1999, she complained again to the General Prosecutor with a request to have her case examined. She received no reply.
3. The author claims that she is a victim of violations of her rights under articles 18 and 19 of the Covenant, as she was excluded from University because she wore a headscarf for religious reasons and refused to remove it.
4.1 On 24 May 2000, 26 February 2001, 11 October 2001, and 3 September 2004, the State party was requested to submit to the Committee information and comments on the admissibility and merits of the communication. The State party presented its comments on 21 October 2004. It recalls that on 21 May 1998, the author applied to the Mirabad District Court of Tashkent with a request to acknowledge the illegality of her dismissal from the Tashkent State Institute of Eastern Languages and to restore her as a student. On 30 June 1998, the Mirabadsky District Court dismissed her appeall.
4.2 The State party explains that according to the Court's civil case, it transpired that the author was admitted in the Faculty of Languages in the Institute in 1995, and in 1996 she continued her studies in the Faculty of History (Islamic Department). According to paragraph 2 (d) of the Internal Regulations (regulating the rights and obligations of the Institute's students), in the Institute, students are forbidden to wear clothes "attracting undue attention", and forbidden to circulate with the face covered (with a hijab). This regulation was discussed at a general meeting of all students on 15 January 1998. The author was presented the text and she made a note that she disagrees with the requirements of paragraph 2 (d). On 26 January 1998, the Dean of the Faculty of History warned her that she violated the provisions of paragraph 2 (d), of the Institute's regulations. The author refused to sign the warning and a record in this respect was made on 27 January 1998.
4.3 On 10 February 1998, by order of the Dean of the Faculty of History, the author was reprimanded for infringement of the Internal Regulations. By order of the Rector of the Institute of 16 March 1998, Ms. Hudayberganova was excluded from the Institute. The order was grounded on the "rough immoral attitude toward a teacher and infringement of the internal regulations of the Institute, after numerous warnings". According to the State party, no cassation appeal was introduced against this decision. Her claim under the supervisory procedure (nadzornaya zhaloba) gave no result.
5.2 The Committee notes that the same matter is not being examined under any other international procedure and that domestic remedies have been exhausted. [No challenge from the State party to this conclusion has been received.] The requirements of article 5, paragraph 2 (a) and (b), of the Optional Protocol have thus been met.
5.3 The Committee has noted that the author has invoked article 19, of the Covenant, without however providing specific allegations on this particular issue, but limited herself to the mere enumeration of the above article. Therefore, the Committee concludes that the author has not substantiated this claim, for purposes of admissibility, and that this part of the communication is inadmissible under article 2 of the Optional Protocol.
5.4 As to the author's remaining claims under article 18 of the Covenant, the Committee considers that it has been sufficiently substantiated for purposes of admissibility, and decides to proceed to its examination on the merits.
6.1 The Human Rights Committee has considered the present communication in the light of all the information made available to it, as required under article 5, paragraph 1, of the Optional Protocol.
6.2 The Committee has noted the author's claim that her right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion was violated as she was excluded from University because she refused to remove the headscarf that she wore in accordance with her beliefs. The Committee considers that the freedom to manifest one's religion encompasses the right to wear clothes or attire in public which is in conformity with the individual's faith or religion. Furthermore, it considers that to prevent a person from wearing religious clothing in public or private may constitute a violation of article 18, paragraph 2, which prohibits any coercion that would impair the individual's freedom to have or adopt a religion. As reflected in the Committee's General Comment No. 22 (para.5), policies or practices that have the same intention or effect as direct coercion, such as those restricting access to education, are inconsistent with article 18, paragraph 2. It recalls, however, that the freedom to manifest one's religion or beliefs is not absolute and may be subject to limitations, which are prescribed by law and are necessary to protect public safety, order, health, or morals, or the fundamental rights and freedoms of others (article 18, paragraph 3, of the Covenant). In the present case, the author's exclusion took place on 15 March 1998, and was based on the provisions of the Institute's new regulations. The Committee notes that the State party has not invoked any specific ground for which the restriction imposed on the author would in its view be necessary in the meaning of article 18, paragraph 3. Instead, the State party has sought to justify the expulsion of the author from University because of her refusal to comply with the ban. Neither the author nor the State party have specified what precise kind of attire the author wore and which was referred to as "hijab" by both parties. In the particular circumstances of the present case, and without either prejudging the right of a State party to limit expressions of religion and belief in the context of article 18 of the Covenant and duly taking into account the specifics of the context, or prejudging the right of academic institutions to adopt specific regulations relating to their own functioning, the Committee is led to conclude, in the absence of any justification provided by the State party, that there has been a violation of article 18, paragraph 2.
7. The Human Rights Committee, acting under article 5, paragraph 4, of the Optional Protocol to the Covenant, is of the view that the facts before it disclose a violation of article 18, paragraph 2, of the Covenant.
8. In accordance with article 2, paragraph 3 (a), of the Covenant, the State party is under an obligation to provide Ms. Hudoyberganova with an effective remedy. The State party is under an obligation to take measures to prevent similar violations in the future.
9. Bearing in mind that, by becoming a party to the Optional Protocol, the State party has recognized the competence of the Committee to determine whether there has been a violation of the Covenant or not and that, pursuant to article 2 of the Covenant, the State party has undertaken to ensure to all individuals within its territory or subject to its jurisdiction the rights recognized in the Covenant and to provide an effective and enforceable remedy in case a violation has been established, the Committee wishes to receive from the State party, within 90 days, information about the measures taken to give effect to the Committee's Views.
* The following members of the Committee participated in the examination of the present communication: Mr. Abdelfattah Amor, Mr. Nisuke Ando, Ms. Christine Chanet, Mr. Franco Depasquale, Mr. Maurice Glèlè Ahanhanzo, Mr. Ahmed Tawfik Khalil, Mr. Rajsoomer Lallah, Mr. Rafael Rivas Posada, Sir Nigel Rodley, Mr. Martin Scheinin, Mr. Ivan Shearer, Mr. Hipólito Solari-Yrigoyen, Ms. Ruth Wedgwood, Mr. Roman Wieruszewski and Mr. Maxwell Yalden.
The texts of two individual opinions signed by Committee members Mr. Hipólito Solari-Yrigoyen and Sir Nigel Rodley are appended to the present document.
In order to comply with the provisions of article 5, paragraph 1, of the Optional Protocol, the communication should be studied in the light of all the information supplied by the parties. In the present case, it is the author who has provided most of the information, although her statements fail to underpin her own allegations, and even contradict them.
2. Her infringement of the regulations of the Institute.
Regarding her negative attitude towards the teachers, the decision of Mirabad district court revealed that the author had accused one of the teachers of bribery, claiming that he was offering pass marks in examinations in return for money. According to the State party (para. 4.3), she was excluded because of her "rough immoral attitude toward a teacher". The author has not supplied any information to justify her serious accusation against the teacher which would nullify the initial ground given for her expulsion. Nor has she explained any link between this ground for exclusion and the alleged violation of article 18 of the Covenant.
Regarding the infringement of the regulations of the Institute, which did not permit the wearing of religious clothing on Institute premises, the author states that she disagreed with the provisions because they "prohibited students from covering their faces" (para. 2.3). The State party points out that the internal regulations forbid students to wear clothes "attracting undue attention", and to circulate with the face covered (para. 4.2). Although the author and the State party do not specify which type of clothing the author was wearing, she states that she dressed "in accordance with the tenets of her religion". However, the author herself states that she complained to the Chairman of the Committee of Religious Affairs (Cabinet of Ministers), who "informed [her] that Islam does not prescribe a specific cult dress" (para. 2.8). The author has not rebutted this assertion, which she herself passed on.
Regarding the regulations of the university institute, it is necessary to bear in mind that academic institutions have the right to adopt specific rules to govern their own premises. It should also be added that these regulations applied to all students without exception, since the institution involved was a State institute of education, not a place of worship, and one in which the freedom to exercise one's own religion is subject to the need to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of others, that is, religious freedom for all, safeguarded by the guarantee of equality before the law, whatever the religious convictions or beliefs of each individual student. It is not appropriate to request the State party to provide specific grounds for the restriction complained of by the author, since the regulations applied impose general rules on all students, and there is no restriction imposed on her alone or on the adherents of one religion in particular. Furthermore, the exclusion of the author, according to her own statements, arose from more complex causes, and not only the religious clothing she wore or her demand to cover her face within the Institute.
For the reasons set out and in the light of the information supplied, I conclude that the author has not substantiated any of her allegations that she was victim of a violation of article 18 of the Covenant.
In accordance with article 5, paragraph 4, of the Optional Protocol, I consider that the facts in the present case do not reveal any violation of articles 18 and 19 of the Covenant.
I agree with the finding of the Committee and with most of the reasoning in paragraph 6.2. I feel obliged, however, to dissociate myself from one assertion in the final sentence of that paragraph, in which the Committee describes itself as 'duly taking into account the specifics of the context'.
The Committee is right in the implication that, in cases involving such 'clawback' clauses as those contained in articles 12, 18, 19, 21 and 22, it is necessary to take into account the context in which the restrictions contemplated by those clauses are applied. Unfortunately, in this case, the State party did not explain on what basis it was seeking to justify the restriction imposed on the author. Accordingly, the Committee was not in a position to take any context into account. To assert that it has done so, when it did not have the information on the basis of which it might have done so, enhances neither the quality nor the authority of its reasoning.
The facts of this case remain too obscure to permit a finding of violation of the Covenant. The author has complained to the Committee that she was prevented from wearing a "hijab�? as a student at the Tashkent State Institute in Uzbekistan. "Hijab�? is often rendered in translation as "head scarf�? and may be nothing more than a scarf covering the hair and neck. But the author also wrote in her protest to the deans at the Tashkent Institute that she "disagreed with the provisions which prohibited students from covering their faces.�? Paragraph 2.3. The State party states that under Institute regulations, students are "forbidden to circulate with the face covered (with a hijab).�? Paragraph 4.2.
Without further clarification of the facts by the author, it would thus seem that the manifestation of religious belief at issue in this case may involve the complete covering of a student's face in the setting of a secular educational institution. State parties have differed in their practice. Some countries permit any form of religious dress, including the covering of faces, accommodating women who otherwise would find it difficult to attend university. Other states parties have concluded that the purposes of secular education require some restrictions on forms of dress. A university instructor, for example, may wish to observe how a class of students is reacting to a lecture or seminar, or to establish eye contact in asking and responding to questions.
The European Court of Human Rights recently concluded that a secular university could restrict women students in the use of a traditional hijab, consisting of a scarf covering the hair and neck, because of the "impact�? on other women students. See Leyla Sahin v. Turkey, No. 44774/93, decided 29 June 2004. The Court asserted that the "rights and freedoms of others�? and the "maintenance of public order�? were implicated, because a particular garb might cause other persons of the same faith to feel pressure to conform. The European Court observed that it "did not lose sight of the fact that … extremist political movements in Turkey�? sought "to impose on society as a whole their religious symbols and conception of a society founded on religious precepts.�?
Such interference with the manifestation of personal religious belief is problematic. But a state may be allowed to restrict forms of dress that directly interfere with effective pedagogy, and the covering of a student's face would present a different set of facts. The uncertain state of the record in this case does not provide the basis for adequate consideration of the issue, or even for a sui generis finding of violation.

According to (Rattiner 2008). Financial planning and forecasting financial statements is a necessary ingredient that is vital for not only individuals but also managers if their organization is to achieve their set goals. Before I define the term financial planning, it is important to state that there is no universally agreed definition of financial planning and there has been very little agreement as what exactly is financial planning among advisors. This has greatly interfered with financial planning as a process. This paper will coherently and comprehensively discuss financial planning and forecasting financial statements account. The paper will also look at the advance techniques for forecasting financial statement techniques.
The term financial planning can be defined as the process which aims at accomplishing the following; providing a plan for achieving financial goals and ascertaining the clients' financial goals (Rattiner 2008).. However, for the financial plan to be effective, the following steps are vital. The first step is to establish financial goals; the second step is to gather relevant information or data. Third step is analyzing your financial data, the fourth step is to develop a plan for achieving goals, the fifth step is to implement the plan and finally you have to monitor your plan. The following paragraphs will discuss comprehensively the steps involved in financial planning.
Establishing financial goals; the first step that anybody and organization that wish to manage his finances effectively should adhere to is ensuring that he/she establishes financial goals. This is because, goal setting is critical if the financial planning is to be successful. Goal setting enables the manger or any other person involved in the financial planning to establish achievable goal. not any other person can come up with a good financial plan which can lead to the achievement of the set goals. This is why it is prudent to engage an expert in the process of financial planning for the goal setting to be effective, the advisor or the expert involved in helping client to create a good financial plan should engage the client in a multiple questioning in order for the client to learn what they are trying to accomplish. The financial advisor will have to prioritize the client's goals since they are likely to be many for example, the advisor should help the client to choose effectively among the competing goals such as saving for investments and saving for education. The advisor has the sole responsibility to help the client rank these competing needs.
Gather relevant data; this is the second step in financial planning process. The financial advisor involved in the financial planning process should gather relevant data for the purposes of planning. This is because the client may have a myriad of issues which the advisor may need to address. The advisor will have to define the client current situation, determine what he/she might desire in future and when such a requirement is to be met. To satisfy all these, the financial advisor will have to collect plenty of information from the client. However, such information obtained ought to be accurate, complete, up-to date and relevant to the goals which the client aspires to achieve in future. (Lee, Lee and Lee 2009).
It is crucial to note that there are two broad categories of information which the advisor should collect from the client include objective and subjective type of information. The objective information may include list of security holdings, the inventory of assets and liabilities, list of annual income and expenditures and a summary of presence insurance coverage. On the other hand, the subjective information may include hopes, fears, values preferences, attitude and the non financial goals of the client.
Step three is to analyze the data; once the relevant data has been collected, organized and checked for accuracy, consistency and completeness, the next step is to analyze the data, with the help of financial advisor. The main objective of analyzing the data is to determine where the client is now in relationship to the goals that were established by the client in step one. The analysis that the financial advisor is likely to do will reveal some strength and weakness in the client present position relevant to the goals that the client has set to achieve. The financial advisor will then disclose a number of weaknesses or conditions that are hindering the achievements of the clients' goals. For instance, the client might have been paying unnecessarily high federal income taxes or using debts unwisely. It may emerge that the clients' portfolio of investment may be inconsistent with his/her financial risk tolerance. The clients business interest is not being used efficiently to achieve his/her personal insurance protection goals or important loss causing possibilities have been overlooked, such as the clients exposure to huge lawsuits arising out of the possible negligent use of an automobile by someone other than the client. In this step, if the goals that the client have set to achieve in future is more than the finance that is available, the financial advisor may advise the client to revise his/her goals but if they are achievable, the advisor may go ahead to the next step of financial planning. (Lee, Lee and Lee 2009).
Developing a plan for achieving the set goals; After the data has been analyzed, the next step in financial planning is developing a plan for achieving the set goals. Here the financial adviser will help the client to devise a realistic comprehensive financial plan in order to bring the client from his/her present financial position to the attainment of the refined goals in step three. This plan has to be made in such a way that it fits the needs of the individual. The financial advisor has to ensure that the financial plan is specific and detailed according to the clients' requirements. The plan should outline who is to do what when and with what resources .the adviser has to ensure that the financial plan is acceptable to the client. The plan should be put down in writing and made in such a way that the client can easily understand it. The format of the financial plan should be easily understandable with the client. The client has to ensure that he/she approves the plan in order to ensure that everything in the plan is in line with his/her requirements.
Step five. Implementation of the plan; this is the fifth step in financial planning. It is important to note that financial plan will only be useful if it is implemented and put into action. It is therefore prudent that the financial advisor ensure that the plan in implemented properly according to the schedule agreed upon with the client. It is important to note that at this stage the financial advisor can implement it if it is of limited scope and limited complexity. Otherwise, where the plan is too complex additional specialized professional expertise will be needed. The most fundamental role of the adviser is to motivate the client in completing the steps necessary for full implementation at each stage of the financial planning. Implementation is vital if the plan is to be beneficial to the client.
Step 6. Monitor the plan; this is the last and most fundamental step in the planning process. Even after the implementation of the plan, there is need to constantly monitor the plan. This means that the relationship between the financial adviser and the client should not end at the implementation stage, it should be ongoing. The advisor has to meet with the client severally in order to review the plan. The first part of the review process should entail measuring the performance f the plan. This is done in order to determine whether the clients plan is in the right direction or if it is achieving its intended purpose. The second reason why financial plan should be reviewed is to update the update the client's personal and financial situation. I case the review indicates satisfactorily performance, there will be no need to carry out any action but if the performance is not acceptable because of the change in client's personal or financial circumstances or goals or in the economic, tax or financial environment then it call for the advisor and the client to review the plan in order to fit the new situation. The review should follow the six steps that have been used to develop the plan initially.
The following figure shows the schematic financial development process.
After comprehensively discussing the steps involved in financial planning, it is prudent that we look at the reasons why financial planning is important. This part of the paper will discuss comprehensively the reasons why we need to carry out financial planning.
Financial planning is important both to the business organizations and the individual. planning enables one to manage his/her income in the most efficient and effective manner. Planning enables an individual to know how much money he needs for various purposes such as for tax payments, savings and the general monthly expenditure. An organization that plan with its finances is likely to record better result because instances of financial embezzlement will be minimized.
Financial planning also enables an individual and the organization to increase cash flow. Research indicate that the organizations that carefully monitor their spending patterns and expenses and carry out effective tax planning, prudent spending and careful budgeting is likely to keep more of their hard earned cash. An increase in cash flow will in turn lead to an increase in capital hence allowing the organization or individual to consider investing in order to improve the overall financial well-being. (Brigham and Ehrhardt 2010).
Are you looking for a good instruction for writing critical analysis papers? Your assignment could be easily performed after you read our great instructions at Pro-Papers.
Financial planning is also important since it act as family security. it is important to note that having a proper insurance coverage and policies in place for your family can provide peace of mind for both you and your loved ones. As we all know the world is full of uncertainties. No single individual is sure of being a live tomorrow. It is therefore prudent to have a good financial plan for your family so that you have peace of mind.
Financial planning is also critical in investment. Financial planning act as a guide in helping choose the right investments that fits individual needs, personality and goals. Savings that have been created as a result of financial planning can be of great benefit especially during difficult times. For instance, financial planning can enable one to set aside enough insurance coverage to replace any lost income in case the family bread winner become enable to work.
Financial planning is important to the company because it enables the company to estimate the earnings which are being anticipated in the upcoming period. It is true that without making such estimates, the company is likely to fail. Financial planning can also be of great benefit to the company especially when it focuses on making investments of profits into diversified portfolio. (Gitman, Joehnk and Billingsley2010).
It is next to impossible for any given company to survive without proper financial planning. So it is prudent for the company to set up a good financial plan that reflects what is to be achieved in the organization right from the beginning. The plans also need to be revised and updated constantly every year or each quarter. This will ensure that the company runs on the right and planned track.


Welcome to Karr Galaxy Studios!
Originally Karr Galaxy Studios started like every other Youtube channel does, trying to find where I fit and generating content that I liked or that I feel people would want to see or know. The Youtube channel is really a creation of a bunch of different things coming together into one main goal, entertaining anyone who wants to watch my videos and providing fantastic imagery while educating people on things that I know and want to pass along or am passionate about. The Channel is constantly changing. The content of the channel will also change over time but not the mission.
I am also an artist and photographer and it is my hope that one day my collection will gain in popularity so that others can take home a piece of my creativity for themselves. I recently have started posting some of my photography works in my online store for 2019!
More about me: I've been interested in Film and television (specifically Science Fiction) and art ever since the late 80's. I was that kid who always was making and planning adventure home movies and couldn't wait to rent the VHS camcorder from the local video store for a weekend or special family event, create my own story or draw comic book heroes with my friends. I was fascinated by special effects and how movie magic was done. Since the technology has enabled me to learn the movie and film making processes and produce much higher quality products, I have now started coming back to some of that child hood creativity and combined it with my technical skills (lately I've had the time). As a kid, I had several creative past times which I have now just started getting back to. Acrylic painting and writing are new to my past times allowing me to incorporate them into my future video productions on YouTube going forward.
More recently however Photography has now become a central and useful skill. Similar to Video in a lot of respects, it's very much a different medium but has helped me enjoy the art of image tremendously. Photography has also allowed me to explore the outdoors, colors and natural beauty that we take for granted each and every day and I share those with you on my Instagram gallery (check out the Gallery Tab).
YouTube and the world have gone through several changes since I started back in 2015. Keeping the lights on and technology working has been difficult in the years since I started the YouTube channel. Money is tight and the potential to earn income directly from Youtube is now more difficult to achieve on its own for those just getting their feet wet on the platform and thus I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how much I really do appreciate any contributions or purchases you have or will decide to make as a viewer, subscriber or loyal follower. Thank you.
Making this content isn't free or cheap… If you like the content please consider donating, subscribing, liking and sharing our content. It really does help the channel and helps me out personally!
Enjoy and Welcome to Karr Galaxy Studios!


How Should I Feel About Death?
Just found out my Younger Brother has most 6 more months in this world.I have already went through losing my Parents which is normal.Lost a Granddaughter to SID's.But I've lost two Younger Sisters.Got another younger Brother on full time Oxygen.
I have been sick for years on the verge of Cancer but have fought it back.With losing my Younger Siblings I think why am I still here? And on the other hand I think I'm so glad to be alive!
Am I wrong,right don't know?? I asked my Pastor and he didn't have the answers.
You are here for a purpose. I believe ALL of us are here for a purpose in this life before we move to the next dimension.
No one has the answers - all we can do is treasure every moment on this spectacular planet and know that our lives have meaning, even when it feels like they don't or the odds are against us.
I know you must be having some really down days. Have you considered seeing a counselor or perhaps participating with a Grief group? What you are feeling must surely be grief, even if it is belated or early.
I wish peace to you. You've had a lot of loss in your life, you deserve it.
There are a lot of things that have no reason. Being born is one of them. Live does not have a "reason", it just is. Death, on the other hand, has a reason. Things happen to this old body of ours, and it dies.
When you stop to think about this wonderous body of ours, it's a wonder that we live as long as we do. There are so many things that could go wrong with it. Give thanks that your body is one of the well made ones that lasts a bit longer than the others.
We are all here for a reason. But I even wonder what my reason is. So I go my being the best person I can be without trying to figure what the answer is. When God is ready for me, he will call. Until then, trying to enjoy every minute.
Brush- You have been through a lot. But you are still here. God must not be done with you here because he knows you are a good person! Accept your sadness, but allow yourself some happiness too!
When it comes to feeling, there are no "shoulds". We feel how we feel. What we control is what we DO.
If you are there for those you love, then what more is there? I'm guessing all the loss you have suffered makes you more compassionate than most to those who are grieving. We all have purpose, and maybe that is part of yours.
May your health continue to improve, and may you find the answers you need within your own heart.
akm4 is right brushrunner...there is no set way to grieve...no set way to feel. It's different for us all and no way is more "right" than the other.
There's actually ways to think and feel about death. As it is culturally embedded into one from the time of becoming conscious and on, by society and its norms. In many cultures, death is seen as mere transition, and is not grieved upon.
Here's a simple example. Alexander the Great managed to concur then known world, but had to pull back from India. Reason being, he had to fight against Sikhs, and even most seasoned of his troops failed against them. Reason being, Sikhs fear no death. And it is very hard to fight a skilled warrior - that has no fear of death, times thousands of them.
So, a lot of what you consider is not much but a cultural inhibition and limitations.
Death should not be taken easy, as should not be diseases, but it should not turn one's existence into fear filled nightmare.
What may help is, instead, dedicating some effort, and much it does not require, to resolve the REAL question. That being, what is it that you TRULY are, as when you find the answer, your perspective on matters discussed will change. As it did for me. And then, you can look at your and your family members lives from a different perspective, and contemplate, what and why, instead of falling into the pit of dark grief.
As there is no death.
Also, find a better spiritual adviser. Your pastor does not seam to cut it.
It sounds a little bit like you are feeling some guilt over their loss. Why them and not me? Then you are happy that you are alive and probably feel guilt over that happiness as well.
I do not know what your religious belief is, but I believe the Lord takes us when it is our time. It just is not your time yet, and unfortunately, it was theirs.
Death is only partially perminant,theres a spirit world. Maybe in the afterlife we will all be as one,so no more violence and from 'my'understanding of what I read,we will build the heavens.So although I fear death its best to study on eternal life than temperary existence.

THE Newbury branch of Parkinson's UK celebrated 25 years of providing support to people affected by the condition by holding a tea party.
More than 120 people attended the event, which was held at Park House School on Thursday, April 13.
Guests included branch president, Lady Howard de Walden, West Berkshire Council chairman Quentin Webb, Newbury mayor Julian Swift-Hook and Thatcham mayor Ellen Crumly.
They were welcomed by David Russell, the chairman of the Newbury branch, who started by giving a short history of the branch over the years.
Parkinson's is a progressive and debilitating neurological condition, for which there is currently no cure.
A common symptom associated with Parkinson's is tremor, but not everyone with the condition experiences it.
As it advances, people with Parkinson's develop various movement difficulties and often require the support of carers.
The Parkinson's branch provides a range of support services, from exercise classes to other therapies, as well as monthly meetings and outings.
Mr Russell said: "The [Newbury] branch provides people with Parkinson's the opportunity to meet with others and to learn from each other on how best to cope with different conditions.
"Carers and other family members are welcome also and can talk to each other about issues in common.
"We have two groups, one which meets during the day and one that meets in the evening.
The tea party heard from Professor Stephanie Cragg, from the University of Oxford, who gave a description of what causes Parkinson's and the research work into the condition that is currently going on.
Following a break for afternoon tea and cake, Paul Mayhew-Archer – who was a scriptwriter for the Vicar of Dibley and is now contributing to All Round to Mrs Brown's – gave an entertaining and humorous talk.
Mr Mayhew-Archer was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2011, but he offers an alternative angle on dealing with his condition.
Mr Russell said: "Our objective is to cease to exist when a cure is found – we certainly would not want to be here in another 25 years.
Hogan Music provided the sound system for the tea party and the whole event was made possible by a grant from the One Stop stores retail chain.


The closures of the UK's mines had a drastic effect of our region, and a new play which marks the closure of one of the UK's last remaining deep seam mines is coming to The Peacock in Sunderland on Thursday 11th and Friday 12th October.
Commemorating mining communities and exploring the closure of the Hatfield Main pit in June 2015, the play is sure to resonate with a lot of those in the city, and is a real stand-out of the Sunderland Stages Autumn season. Written by Garry Lyons echoes the stories behind the UK's mining heritage and gives voice to former miners, and keeps those from the mining communities in the spotlight. Covering from the 1984-85 miner's strike through to the closure of the mine and the Brexi referendum, this play is along at an ideal time, immensely relevant and makes sure a key part of our region's history is not forgotten.
The Last Seam is at The Peacock, Sunderland on Thursday 11th and Friday 12th October.
