Vasculitis is a "family" of disease which inflames the blood vessels, arteries, veins or capillaries. When such inflammation occurs, it causes changes in the walls of blood vessels, such as weakening and narrowing that can progress to the point of blood vessel blockage. Some are also diseases of the autoimmune system, which becomes overactive and attacks parts of the body, leaving scars and lesions behind.
The Jedi Assembly is a worldwide fan-based group for Star Wars light-side Jedi costuming enthusiasts. It is the intent of the club to further enhance the Star Wars fantasy by recreating Jedi costumes for our enjoyment as well as others. The club encourages screen-accurate Jedi costumers as well as novice costumers to join and share their knowledge with others."
