Jim Crow laws took away from the freedom that African Americans had sought for, “separate but equal” formed discrimination. Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) organized freedom rides in 1961 that took the country by storm. Freedom riders fought legal racial segregations through nonviolence…
One of the more challenging aspects of being a manager is effectively reviewing the employees that report to you. If this is done incorrectly, it can hurt not only the performance of the employee, but the entire team. By nature, a majority of individuals are sensitive towards being criticized, even if it’s presented as constructive. There are many tools a manager can use when conducing employee appraisal’s which help them effectively have the “tough talk” when the time is necessary. In my…
From a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life: that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise; that you treat people with respect. They taught and showed me values and morals in their daily life. That is a lesson that I continue to pass along to our son, and we need to pass those lessons on to the many generation to follow. I travelled the world while working hard in the incredible arena of fashion. After living…
We live in a society where times have changed and so have the traditions of many. In this 21st century we have more people open to accepting the beliefs of others, but we still see in some cases how loyalty can fog logical reasoning.

Today is one of the best days in my entire life. The radio station 107.1 gave out special phone calls to celebrities if they answered correctly their question. Only one lucky winner would be able to spend the entire evening with a special celebrity, so I called. Turned out my phone call was accepted; the question I got turned out to be “What radio station are we on?” of course my answer was right which made me the lucky winner. The station allowed five minutes to think of a celebrity. Donald…
It is safe to say I have read a few books on eschatology/prophecy (study of the last things). Many describe The Antichrist as a mastermind without differentiating between a mastery that stems from wisdom and understanding, and a “cunning” that proceeds from craftiness and wickedness. They are not the same. The latter is a mastery of foolishness. The Antichrist is anti-Christ. Although in appearances, he may try to imitate him, in reality, he is everything Christ is “not”.
