The Israelite Church of God says "as long as you hear the word and believe the word of GOD you are an Israelite" and the church professes that Israelites are scattered throughout the world. Thus, they are not to be construed to be the actual “children of Israel”, but “Israelites”.
The Israelite Church of God believe white people are Edomites according to scripture (other Black Hebrew Israelites sects declare white people to be descendants of Japhet. They advocate a King-James-Version-only approach to the Bible. The organization Israelite Church of GOD in Jesus Christ (ICGJC) is a relatively new incarnation of the Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge (ISUPK) which has evolved and has lost membership over the last forty years.

The Creation of Human Ability is a book published by Church of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard in 1954. Some versions of the book carry the subtitle "A Handbook for Scientologists" on the cover.
The book deals with subjects such as "the laws of operating a body exterior", Para-Scientology, and what Hubbard called "the processes which exteriorize a being and drill his innate abilities". Today the Church notes that "All later research was aimed at increasing a thetan's ability to the point where he could do the drills presented in this book."
There also exists an "Extension Course and Pack" for the book which expands upon the lessons in it, and must be purchased from the Church only after purchasing the original book.
Since 1974, the book's cover has been a painting of a woman dressed in an anthropomorphic animal fursuit, gnawing on a smaller animal's severed limb with protruding bone. According to former Scientologist Bent Corydon, this was because Hubbard believed that the image was one of the "R6 bank symbols" -- implants that existed in people's unconscious "reactive minds", and to which they would respond powerfully:
A special "Book Mission" was sent out to promote these books, now empowered and made irresistible by the addition of these supposedly overwhelming symbols or images. Organization staff were assured that if they simply held up one of the books, revealing its cover, that any bookstore owner would immediately order crateloads of them. A customs officer, seeing any of the book covers in one's luggage, would immediately pass one on through.
That cover was discontinued with the 2007 edition.
That book also contains the so-called R2-45 process, supposed to exteriorise a thetan (free a soul from the body) by using a handgun of .45 caliber. The wording in the book is cryptic but is explained in lectures, such as the Eight Advanced Clinical Course.

Gumbohead was formed in 1999 in St. Louis after years of discussion between bassist Andy Coco and guitarist Tim Halpin about putting together a band playing nothing but music from New Orleans and southwest Louisiana. Both had attended Jazzfest for years and loved the styles and grooves that influenced New Orleans music.
A Gumbohead show will include funk, zydeco, traditional Mardi Gras music, Latin rhythms, brass band anthems as well as some original music shaped by St. Louis.
Gumbohead has played dive bars, fancy nightclubs, BBQ joints, museum parties, Mardi Gras balls, crawfish boils, fundraisers, wedding receptions and many festivals - RiverSplash and The Big Muddy Blues Festival in St. Louis, Ribfest in Chicago, the Taste of New Orleans Festival in Peoria, the Decatur Celebration (Illinois' largest free street festival) and the Rollin' On The River Festival in Keokuk, IA.
The band has opened for Louisiana legends the Neville Brothers, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Buckwheat Zydeco, Chubby Carrier, Terrance Simien and Jon Cleary and the Absolute Monster Gentlemen.
