From the Editor
Thank you for all of the birthday wishes that I received. This is a very busy, financial challenging, time of the year for me. After July 23 I prepare financially for school shopping, two birthdays in August for my two younger children all basically within the same week, family reunions, oldest daughter birthday in October, mother's birthday in October, and middle daughter's birthday in November, and, then, we celebrate Christmas. Just another challenge where large families plan accordingly. Even though I concentrated in business during my schooling years I believe that being a part of a large family teaches you skills through personal experiences such as budgeting. What do you think large families? This is the last full week of the discussion of Hunting Down the Arts on Global Islands. Aug 22 - Sept. 22 is the hosted event of reading literature (aloud or silently) in front of a child. Children who see others enjoying reading are generally more learned students.
The New Monday Show
Last night's lecture, from the Holy Quran (Surah VI), discussed the effects of being in the wrong social groups or settings. You may listen to lecture 24/7 at sherleneonline.org
Let's talk Remembering Rodney King
The Ebony Magazine (2012, May, pp. 134-140) wrote an article about Rodney King that I thought was news worthy. The writer had witnessed all of the events that occurred surrounding the case. He wanted to know if things have changed since the dreadful historical event. Unfortunately, death took King before I had a chance to provide my point of view. Here are a few key points from the article.
