  Saddam Hussein, the sixth president of Iraq, held power from July 16, 1979, until his downfall on April 9, 2003. A central figure in Iraq's political history, Saddam was a founding member of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, which advocated for a fusion of Arab nationalism and socialism, known as Ba'athism. The party's rise to power in Iraq was marked by the 1968 coup, often referred to as the 17 July Revolution, which saw the Ba'ath Party assume control. Saddam, a key figure in the party, was instrumental in establishing its dominance in Iraq. 
  Saddam's path to the presidency was shaped by his political astuteness and ruthless consolidation of power. He became vice president under General Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, who was severely weakened by ill health. At a time when numerous factions within the country threatened to destabilize the government, Saddam focused on building and strengthening the security forces that would enable him to suppress dissent. He carefully navigated the complexities of power struggles between the administration and the military, ensuring his influence over both the party and the state apparatus. His careful maneuvering eventually led to his formal assumption of power in 1979, though he had already been Iraq's de facto leader for several years. 
  In the early 1970s, Saddam took aggressive steps to nationalize Iraq's most important industries, including the Iraq Petroleum Company and various independent banks. This move, though initially successful in securing Iraq's economic independence, led to long-term financial instability. The nationalization policies, combined with inflation and a series of bad loans, contributed to the eventual collapse of Iraq's financial sector. Nevertheless, Saddam's regime was buoyed by the economic boom fueled by Iraq's oil exports, which provided the government with significant wealth and the ability to fund state projects.

  Critically acclaimed Relationship Sex-pert, and licensed therapist Dr. Tiy-E Muhammad is back with his latest installment aptly titled "Notes from a Professional Player, The Gangster and The Gentleman" where he boldly tackles the antiquated meaning of "Player" and offers a re-imagined definition of what a contemporary player, aka Ladies Man, is or supposed to be. Drawing upon his debut novel, "From "Player to Poet," and his years in private marriage and family counseling, Dr. Tiy-E now raises the bar, and zeros in on the definition of a "PROFESSIONAL PLAYER," and his responsibilities.  And because it takes one to know one, Dr. Tiy-E says "I take complete ownership on the concept, usage, definition, and knowledge of the word Player in this book."  In "Notes," the former radio and tv personality, explicitly addresses a wide range of topics from male sexual prowess (BDE too!) to the sometimes-taboo subject of male hygiene or, lack-there-of. It also includes much deeper, introspective chapters on self-image, and fatherhood, encouraging readers to take a deeper look at their true self versus their perceived self. In "Notes," Dr. Tiy-E lays out a CIA style of question and answer to guide readers to uncover their own truth by way of candid examples and uncensored storytelling. Delivering dating tips decade-by-decade, Dr. Tiy-E holds men accountable for the fundamentals all "True Players" should adhere to — the foundation of which— is Love of self. From moments that tug at your heart, to his lifetime of lessons in manhood, Dr. Tiy-E is unwavering in his truth serum. And it Works! Perhaps the reason his latest installment is as brilliantly authentic as his namesake.
