  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

What happen to the cellphone?!

What happen to the cellphone?!
Rickey Johnson, Juniques MultiCultural Connections

Hello Community, 

As I watch people enter the home base business market, it occurred to me, one area of 
business development should be important. Staying relevant.

Remember the cellphone popularity? How it appeared to be a major communication leap?
How it seemed to be the most advanced communication event that could happen? 
How it would be here for years to come.
How it created new businesses and close others?




Technology really advances quickly. Many times that advancement obsolete earlier advancement. 
The communication device that is falling into that reality, is the cellphone.

Remember, how it exciting it was to have this electronic equipment that send and receive a 
telephone call, while you were mobile. Where you could be reached "by phone" anywhere in the country!!!

The cellphone, put the cord and cordless phone to "shame".  Now, you can find a telephone, but you will have to search for it, yes, cord and cordless phones are a rarity. 

Oh yes,The cellphone, in its communication advancement,  obsoleted the pager. The electronic device that allowed you to receive a tone to "tell" you had a phone message, then it advanced to be able to "show' the number calling.
WOW!!! All had to do was find a phone!!!!



Now, the mobile phone i.e cellphone is about to experience that same communication progression.
the cord, cordless phone and pager did. 

Soon you will be hard pressed to find just a celluar mobile device. The Mobile device is
has arrived in "full force".


The Mobile Device is here to stay.  This handheld device that has an operating system and
can use computer program applications. Why it even comes with wi-fi, bluetooth and GPS capablilty, a camera, media player, and a storage battery, that allows the user to be mobile. 

Mobile Computers!!!!! That is are communication progression. 

The impact is being felt in any industry that relies on just providing send/receive communication service. Any company who's "strength" is providing send/receive service, will be challenged to 
stay "consumer-able". 

I suspect, mobile devices will obsolete many of the communication devices we thought we be around for 
years. 

The communication consumer is being accustomed to being able to not only send and receive voice calls, but, audio/visual communications, i.e videos. To have a device that can "run" computer programs. To have communications delivered mobilely and "on-demand".

So keep this progress in mind as you build your business. Stay mindful of  industry advancements.
Position yourself so you do not become "obsolete" when a progression in a industry could be 
your opportunity or your demise. 

Reminds of this song, Enjoy

Everything Must Change Lyrics
Nina Simone

Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Everyone will change
No one, no one stays the same

The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
For that's the way of time
No one, and nothing goes unchanged

There are not many things in life one can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
Hummingbirds fly

Winter turns to spring
A wounded heart will heal
Oh, but never much too soon
No one, and nothing goes unchanged

The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
For that's the way of time
No one, and nothing stays unchanged

There are not many things in life one can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
Hummingbirds fly

Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
Hummingbirds fly

Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
Hummingbirds fly

Everything must change
