After I had received a general overview of the history of the Orlando area in the Orange County Regional History Center, I wanted to delve a little deeper into the social history of the Orlando area, and the Wells Built Museum of African American History and Culture was going to give me a more in-depth look into Orlando's African American history.To this day this area west of I-4 is primarily inhabited by African Americans and the difference in housing and facilities between this area and the downtown area is quite notable. As a matter of fact, the very name "Division Street" points to a distinct historical line of demarcation between black and white residential areas.The origins of the Wells Built...

Creating a Life List
Last year I appeared in a Broadway musical. I was not a major character, but it was a major event. For three years I had had on my Life List "See a Broadway show." And now there I was, sitting up on stage waiting for my turn as a contestant in a musical spelling bee. I lost after the second round, but I didn't lose at all. I got to check off two items from my Life List--the one about seeing a Broadway show, and also "Do something truly gutsy at least twice a year."Creating a Life List gives us vision and direction. We may have a vague notion about what it is we want to do, see, and experience in our lifetimes, but writing those things down is often the first and most important step in...
OK, I'm being a little melodramatic. Maybe it was the reaction of the audience or maybe it was the standing ovation in the over-filled-to-capacity auditorium; but I got a little choked up by the 90 minute screening of a new documentary called "America - From Freedom to Fascism". The movie was shown for free at Adirondack Community College in Queensbury, New York Saturday the 24th of March. It was produced and directed by Aaron Russo, director of such films as "The Rose" with Bette Midler and "Trading Places" with Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy. He was also involved in bringing the rock group "Led Zeppelin" to America. Russo also ran for governor of Nevada and President of the United States under the...

The NCAA in it's wisdom has determined that teams that use native The NCAA has gone so far as to say that these teams cannot play in the post season tournaments unless they change their names.While I am sure there is a group of people both Native Americans and others who seem to think these names are offensive shouldn't we look at the big picture? Shouldn't we look at why colleges chose the Mascots that they do? Don't college choose mascots because of the qualities they feel those mascots possess? Don't the Colleges want their student athletes to posses these same qualities. Qualities like skill, Strength, Bravery, knowledge, intelligence and sportsmanshipAren't College athletics a huge source of...

A Guide to College Baseball Bats
In the mid 1850s, when baseball was in its infancy, players made their own bats. They experimented with flat bats, round bats, and heavy bats. They ultimately discovered that the barrel shaped bat was the most effective. Today, college baseball bats have taken this technology to a new, powerful level upon the introduction of aluminum bats in the mid 1970s. Too many wooden bats were being broken, so due to budget crunches suffered by many college athletic programs, collegiate baseball made the switch from wood to aluminum bats. This sparked a debate that rages today.Many purists want to do away with the high tech aluminum/alloy bats and return to the days where they claim hitters had to be much...

I Hate, And Thats Not All Bad
I hate the way our Government is acting!I wonder sometimes if that is a throwback in my gene pool. We never liked the Government (we were under at least four here in this country!), but did fight for the nation, as Spies; Soldiers; and Patriots.) Much. We always died for our country, not the Government.Why this hatred all throughout these generations of the Government down the ages? Because they ARE Governments! Let me explain better.You see, Governments are, by their very nature more a Democracy, than a Republic. A Democracy is one form of Government that protects the majority, not as one that protects the rights of the minority, or each person. That, I would say is a big difference between the two...

Five Steps To Choosing A College
Five Steps To Choosing A College My name is Debbie Ross. The information I have about my journey in finding a college can help both parents and students alike. Going back a few years, I was at the turning point of my life. Graduation from high school was just around the corner and I had no clue which college I was going to attend.

The United States Supreme Court has determined that sexual-harassment training had been provided by an organization that desires to use an "affirmative defense" in a sexual harassment claim against a supervisor. In Faragher v. Boca Raton, the Supreme Court decided that an organization could not claim they had created an environment free from sexual-harassment responsibility unless company-wide sexual-harassment training had been provided."Affirmative defense" is an approach an organization takes to claim that the organization itself is not responsible for the supervisor's actions because the supervisor was acting independently when a sexual-harassment occurred. This defense has been successful in...

Seven Clues To Mystery Babylon in Revelation
From Fear and Fascination to Faith and FactsMy first encounter with the book of Revelation was fear. Who didn't get a few chills running down their spine about the number 666, the "mark of the beast," the seven plagues and this dramatic portrayal of the endtime? That fear kept me from wanting to know more about this book, though I was drawn to it.Then I stumbled across a study that made an intelligent versus fanciful media-hyped approach to the book. It addressed it as a coded message, but written to the first century church who were part of its history and time. That evidence focused on the date of the book. It raised and answered the question, was it written pre or post A.D. 70?Thirdly, an...
In 2003, the Los Angeles schools implemented a new policy of graduation requirements. The intention was to graduate Los Angeles schools students that were better-educated and groomed for college and high-level jobs. Requirements included graduates to pass one year of algebra and one of geometry, or equivalent coursework.Though the intention was good and the Los Angeles schools policy should work in theory, the reality is giving a much different and more dismal picture. Los Angeles schools students are unprepared to meet the new demands and are failing algebra by the thousands. Coursework that used to differentiate a college-bound student from those planning to attend technical schools or directly...
As I sat there watching the pitcher and infielders warm up in between innings, out of the corner of my eye I noticed one of the coaches just outside the dugout trying to get someone's attention. When I realized it was my attention he was trying to get, I gave a nod. He then barked out, "Got another one!" and proceeded to throw a fielder's glove at me. I caught it, gave it a quick inspection and knew what I'd being doing a little later that evening.Well that's how it has gone the last four or five years now when I'm in the dugout or around local baseball or softball fields. I've repaired gloves for a number of players and hence I've been labeled as "The Doctor". Word has gotten out over the years and...

It is time to go to college! This is an exciting period in anyone's life, but it can also be daunting and confusing. If you follow the next four steps, you will be well prepared for this arduous task, and, hopefully, gain admission to the university at the top of your list.Step 1:Competition in terms of top tier universities has become increasingly challenging over the years. To improve your chances of being accepted by your first choice, you will need to stand out in the eyes of the admission committee.

Whether you're submitting a personal statement, a statement of purpose, or a diversity essay, make sure to follow these rules:Rule #1: Edit and Proofread, Then Proofread Again Your grammar, spelling, and punctuation must be flawless. When in doubt, pullout those old standbys The Chicago Manual of Style and Strunk & White. If grammar, spelling, and punctuation aren't your strong points, enlist a friend to help (and give you a tutorial, while you're at it). There's no excuse for a college graduate to mess this up. And beware the spell-check trap -- it won't catch "right" when you should have written "write," and it won't catch your "commitment to pubic service." (You laugh, but I saw that typo as a...

Softball and baseball, although they are similar they are very different. Baseball and softball are both sports that were "born" in the United States. Baseball is considered "the all American sport". Baseball started in the mid 1800s and softball started in the late 1800s.Baseball is the game that boys grow up with. They start around 5 years of age but really start getting into the game by age 8.

Increasing Perceived Value
As you can probably tell, perceived value is what people are paying for. Perceived means what it brings to them mentally and emotionally as well as physically. Intrinsic value is mere physical replacement cost. For example, vitamins have an intrinsic replacement value of a few dollars, but they have a mental and emotional perceived value of comfort, hope, security and peace of mind because of enhanced life condition of well-being and longevity.This is to say that stressing the mental and/or emotional values of a product/service are critical to more sales. Or, if "adding value" to a commodity, the "extra cost", if applicable, is more than justified by the extra perceived mental or emotional value...

At the beginning of my senior year in high school, I sent off half a dozen college applications and recieved acceptance letters from most. After much thought, I chose to attend the local junior college instead of an out-of-town university. My plan was simple: spend two years earning my associates degree, transfer, spend two more years to finish my bachelors. In the end, it didn't turn out that way. They say hindsight is 20/20, so I am here to share my experience so you may gain from it. Here is a list of what not to do when transferring colleges:1.

Baseball in Shanghai? Another American Sport...
As an athlete (or at least having been an athlete in the past) and a sports fan, one of the difficult things about finding myself on an extended stay in Shanghai, China (setting up sporting goods manufacturing and other business contacts) is the near isolation from most American sports. Although basketball, over the past ten or so years, has become popular among the Chinese people, baseball has yet to find its way into the sports culture here. While at every school or playground it's likely you'll find some kid aspiring to become the next Yao Ming, mention the term "baseball" to most Chinese, even ones who speak pretty good English, and you'll likely find yourself having to search through a...

Is Seminary Right For You?
If you are anything like me, then it is likely that the word 'seminary' is a bit intimidating. It sounds like an ultra-academic, only for really religious people kind of environment. However, if you feel like seminary might be the next step in your educational process, then there are a few things you should consider before you let the idea of seminary turn you off. Seminary can be a great place for people to spend a few years studying and growing personally and relationally.

College Scholarships - The benefits of Free...
College scholarships are essentially free money to pay for college. Scholarships do not have to be paid back and many do not have any criteria you have to fulfill in order to get them except applying for them and fulfilling the application criteria. However, each year many scholarships do not get awarded because students or potential students do not apply for them. If someone were passing out free money, would you pass it up?One of the most common reasons that college scholarships are not applied for is that there is a common misconception that college scholarships are difficult to find and the college scholarship search is a tedious process. This was true at one point in time when you had to...
Food - What To Do With Leftovers
Leftovers. Convenient or a pain in the backside? Well, it depends on who you ask.
