Bob Marley Halloween Costume in a Few Easy Steps

Bob Marley is one of the most well known reggae and ska recording artists in the world. His songs have been being played since they were released, and it's safe to say that it will continue to be for a very long time. Beyond being a popular recording artist he was an outspoken antiwar and civil-rights activist, and his music was often how he got that message across. He is not only a beloved historical figure, but also very easily recognizable and therefore a wonderful idea for a Halloween or a costume party.

If you're going to do a Bob Marley impersonation, the first thing you'll have to master is the Jamaican accent. Unless you've spent a lot of time around people speaking it, or have heard it a lot, this can be one of the most difficult accents to pick up. If you're committed to doing an impersonation and not just dressing up as Bob Marley, You may want to get a tape or a book that can help you to learn the vowel and consonant substitutions. While you're learning an accent it's very helpful to be around it and hear it a lot. So, find a good Reggae music station, and chances are you'll hear some Jamaican Patios in between tracks. The general feeling of Bob Marley's speech, is one of careful choosing of words, and of a clear intention being communicated. You can find clips of audio recordings of interviews with him online.

In terms of clothing, Bob Marley favored the comfortable loose clothes of his generation. For a costume any T-shirt and loose pants will work. The most significant part of his personal style was his hair and his hats. Bob Marley, in classic Rastafarian fashion wore his hair in dreadlocks. While the length of his dreads changed often throughout his career, they were always there, and there are many pictures of him with different styles. One of the most popular styles that he was wearing when a lot of photographs were taken of him is very long and thick dreadlocks. There are many photos that have been copied and made into lithographs and other prints and these can be found on the internet or in shops for reference. They often show him wearing a knit cap of bright colors, often the colors of the African or the Jamaican flag. If you already have dreadlocks, then all you need to find is a knit hat, but if you don't, you may need to find both a wig and a cap. There are some shops online that sell both together.

Once you have the simple wardrobe hairstyle and accessories, keep practicing your Jamaican accent and listen to or learn some of his most popular songs. These include, I shot the sheriff, Rastaman Vibration, Sun is Shining, One Love, and Satisfy my Soul. You may want to practice "Kinky Reggae" in your Jamaican Patios and don't forget to grab a spliff on your way out the door.

And If you really want to be Bob Marley, You'll need a Costume Dreadlock Wig. The best way to find quality Costume Halloween Wigs is to do a Google Search. You can also find fantastic Dread Lock Wigs the same way.

African Engineers: Wigs and Witnesses

Many of the most innovative entrepreneurs in Ghana are women. The annals of the Technology Consultancy Centre (TCC) of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, contain many tales of enterprising females who pioneered new ventures based on technologies developed or adapted within the workshops and laboratories of the university. Many of the stories record modest success but the tale of Mrs Appiah was one of both triumph and tragedy. It could also be seen as the conflict between science and religion in microcosm.

Mrs Appiah was a small-scale producer of afro-wigs which were very popular in Ghana in the early 1970s. The wigs were made of imported human hair but when the importation was banned by the Acheampong government in 1972 it seemed that the local industry was doomed. Mrs Appiah came to the TCC to enquire if the university could find an alternative raw material.

The TCC referred Mrs Appiah to Dr D N S Rao of the Department of Chemistry. Dr Rao suggested that one possible locally-available raw material might be sisal hemp fibre. He launched a research and development programme to perfect a product that was indistinguishable from human hair. His efforts were crowned with success and Mrs Appiah produced some prototype wigs that were enthusiastically acclaimed by her customers. Dr Roa was worried that the wigs were highly flammable but this problem was solved by additional chemical treatment.

Now Mrs Appiah was back in business, and as her competitors had ceased production, business was very good. There followed a period of expansion; skilled wigmakers were re-employed and more trainee apprentices were given opportunities to learn the trade. Mrs Appiah was proud of her achievement and her project was featured prominently in TCC publications as a novel example of a successful venture in appropriate technology.

Mrs Appiah had one problem and it concerned the security of supply of raw material. Sizal grows well in Ghana but at that time, around Kumasi, Mrs Appiah found only a few small plantations. The plantation owners, becoming aware of the new demand for their product, began to steadily raise their price. In response to this threat, Mrs Appiah used some of her profits to buy a plot of land and came back to the TCC to obtain help and advice from the Faculty of Agriculture on the cultivation of sisal. She was relieved to find that the cultivation was relatively easy and a new crop could yield useful raw material within a few months of planting.

As her profits piled up in her bank account, Mrs Appiah grew restless to invest in new enterprises. She was advised to concentrate on the business she knew best, wig making, and not to dissipate her energy by attempting to do too many new things that she knew less about. However, still in her early thirties, the lady was full of energy and enthusiasm and not in a mood to listen even to those who had guided her to good fortune. She announced that she had ordered materials from overseas and was going to become a paint manufacturer.

Dr Rao was one of the first to sound a note of warning. The solvents used in paint manufacture are known to be injurious to health and must be used in special facilities with good ventilation. When inhaled, the solvents can cause headaches, dizziness and nausea. Longer-term exposure can cause kidney damage leading to anaemia, fatigue, high blood pressure, kidney disfunction and failure. Mrs Appiah was again advised against starting the new project

The lady entrepreneur was not seen again on the university campus, and not heard of again until her funeral was announced in the local press. On enquiry it was learned that she had been taken ill at work and rushed to hospital. The doctors had diagnosed anaemia and advised that she should be given blood transfusions but Mrs Appiah and her family being Jehovah's Witnesses this course of treatment had been refused. The lady was as ardent in pursuit of her faith as she had been in pursuit of her business. One must hope that the rewards were equally commensurate.
