Should all new businesses have the same traditional, American design layout? When it's important: Communities that are in need of community development efforts should strive to have an overall (community-based) business theme which expresses a productive, community and business partnership vision. Communities that are experiencing new-mjority citizen-neighbor shifts: race or income-household levels. Business zoning policies may often require specifics of placing business signs, size/color/style of the business sign, etc. Each local community has its own commercial zoning laws and policies.

Printed without additions for modern language or historical events. Indian Children Where we live and work and play each day, Indian children used to play-- All about our native land, Where the shops, public buildings and houses stand. And the trees were very tall, And there were no streets at all, Not a church and not a steeple-- Only woods and Indian people. Only wigwams [a housing style] on the ground, And at night bears prowling round-- What a different place today, Where we live and work and play! -Annette Wynne Note: November is Native-American Heritage Month in the U.S.A.

Fearless Democratic-Party Agenda and Current Actions for Upcoming Election Campaign 2016  Democrats Wants We want basic, public schools open whether they have proper heating/cooling, or lack of enrollment. Next we want to invent free, basic college models. What was once considered higher learning will be no more. We want more skilled, low-entry workers such as nurses instead of doctors, teachers instead of principals. We want the People's House and Congress to be the new, long-standing Democratic work center. We want to continue the tradition of calling law enforcement --local sheriffs-- for social and family injustices (mostly for juveniles and college-age student behaviors). We want group actions in everything that America does.  Is it a political party or a cultural gang? We need basic, public schools to extend their days with no formal afterschool transportation in rural communities. We want an even bigger government which will demand bigger tax dollars from l...

What we learned from the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March Summary (Just a woman's perspective) It wasn't a traditional social event; It is considered a social-cause movement, and the theme was Justice or Else! You had a "modernized choice" of viewing it on a local, TV cable channel such as C-SPAN or hosted event streaming. Don't you just love live streaming?  BET cable-channel did not air the gathering which has caused African-American audience disappointment of the latest re-branding effort of the network.  I've learned that women-of-color really do intrude the man cave. ... an all-male focused conference ... I am embarrassed of such actions, and I take this moment to apologize to the men present: Sorry . If your man doesn't trust himself--alone--to be in such a social setting, then he shouldn't attend with you (of the female gender :) The speech, Ladies:  "It's all about respect and trust. Respect for the socially focuse...

Back in the day, the Catholic pope requested the burning of 1000s of books housed at home libraries and library-model organizations.

Many unique households are saying "N-o-o, thank you." Here's why: The additional fees for installation may vary from $40 - $70 or more, depending on how many rooms of your unique households. New wiring in your unique household needed. Then, add another additional fee of $30 per room location. Bundle or not to bundle. To bundle means cheaper monthly rates, but a one- or two-year contract commitment is required. Your first bill is always higher than what the customer service representative estimates it to be. New service requires that you pay your first two months of cable service in the first  30 days of service  or else. What else could there be? Non-payment of service means temporary disconnection of service (with a $100 re-connection fee) and no allowance of purchasing a movie until your bill is paid in full. You have to wait several days for a service installation tech or you can always do it yourself. Comcast will mail the equipment out to you faster than a ...

Tweets of July, 2015 @atimetolearn, And You, Your Point Is ... Show Islamic State forces Christians and Jews to pay more to live in international communities, more than Muslim citizens. Muslims and "all things politics" don't mix: very little political involvement or voting. Slavery, crucifixions and beheadings, no, not in today's civilized world, correct?!  Muslims believe in the "Sharia law" --free housing, free health care, free food, and free clothing. International Muslims have no respect for our president (Obama) because he's the non-Muslim child of a Muslim parent. ISIS Muslims refer to Jesus (Isa) as the second major prophet: "He'll [Isa] will return and lead Muslims to win a final victory. Jesus would have never been crucified had there been no voting rights for community citizens. One voice: "You've raped our women."

Today's world requires more interactions between government and families. The current Obama administration believes that big government is the solution.  I agree to a point--until such governmental departments become less and less productive to their overall need for Americans. Some of my audiences are participating in an annual summer challenge: a pretend Confrontation War.  I wanted all of my audiences to review some of the available resources and activities that may be helpful at your unique household. As a current Presidential candidate, I want to be your president who allows a productive choice to our concerns. I also want to improve outdated services, programs and overall American old stuff. Here are two links that I would like to review at your leisure, such publications may be educational and useful in increasing family-bonding efforts of your external family sets. The following is a court hearing that my unique household was forced to be a participant. This ye...

Why are African-American channels more expensive? I'd rather pay for each channel that I really watch.

One day St. Augustine was asked, "What does love look like?" He answered: "It has hands to help others. It has feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has ears to hear the sighs and sorrow of men. That is what love looks like."

Simply stop and don't do the action that is being said to you. You'll thank self later, okay. Having faith + Drug addiction+Hearing Voices = A long, but possible, life experience's battle. Don't think that hearing voices cease with health medicines or street drugs. There is so much drug usage in the United States that most States simply assume that all their citizens have a drug addiction challenge. Most drug usage (narcotics, meds), in our country, is to decrease actions of hearing voices. Medical mental medicines can b...

It is a fact that a majority of African-Americans have this untruth that their racial duty and responsibility is to be strictly defined as "workers" of our many occupations, or "receivers" of anything that is left, that is second best.  They feel some sense of duty or honor with being a part of this unlabeled working order in America. They love seeing such identifiable images as entertainment (as though it identifies the identity of all blacks). Any other image on the screen isn't being black enough, seems to be a false sense of social reality, or simply doesn't bring in the big rating numbers. What images do you immediately notice, when you look around your community? White leaders (business, entertainment):"Well, if you don't mind  ... It works for us." [Hell yeah! Cool.] Even with the vast amount of people, globally, the reality is this form of making our world go around is no longer working for the white-race identity.  And when their e...

All throughout history, Africans have inspired other racial identities by their imaginative performance of retelling a real event or an imaginary story. Stories that you may have heard retold by an older family member can create a special family-bonding moment.  Unfortunately it does little to increase a child's reading ability, or your approval of having a passion of a good book. The Ritual of Reading Aloud Reading something together increases a passion of finding information out for self, whether it be for a hobby, school, or just for fun.  Children (or Adults) learn to read by being read to. Read books with and without pictures: without pictures increases one's imagination. Studies shows that early and good readers come from homes where reading is valued and experienced regularly.  The desire to read starts with being provided a comfortable environment to do so--at a pace set by the reader--and the reader's interest. Reading aloud to someone expands their worl...

January is Mentorship Month.  Our focus is on the subject of employees receiving benefits or perks other than a salary increase.  What are your needs, likes, and dislikes? Be creative, at your place of employment, when you see no monetary raise in sight. William Glassner, a psychiatrist and education consultant, implies that we all have the following needs--no matter race, gender, or identity: Survival (food, shelter, freedom from harm); Belonging (security, comfort, legitimate membership in group settings); Power (sense of importance, of stature, of being considered by others); Fun (having a good time, emotionally and intellectually); and, Freedom (to do by choice, self-direction, and responsibility). Unless we have the described needs, all such needs, met in unison then we only survive by human activities of personal or social chaos and dysfunction. So the next time that you're feeling some kind of way, you now know there is a reason why, right? One or mor...

One of those rights is to have a personal point of view. Explaining the way that you feel or describe your feelings causes you to be an independent thinker. A question like "What is the color of your skin?" evokes a diversity of conclusions.  One may simply refer to their skin color by their racial identity. Another may give a descriptive response by providing a specific shade of color to define their skin tone.. There is no right or wrong answer of one's view point, unless your in a structured classroom where actual facts have been provided.
