Black Education - Have We Made Progress?

Black education can use the rich fertilizer of African proverbs. Here is one from the Mafa people of Cameroon, northern Nigeria, and southern Niger:  Nobody kills an ignorant person who begs for wisdom . This comes from a culture where even accepting a gift without first refusing it could be considered as begging, and, therefore, disgraceful; yet, humbling yourself to learn something that you should have known in the first place is ranked above prideful ignorance. I've thought about this proverb a great deal, especially concerning those black people who hold the highest academic degrees. It is a great achievement to go through the rigors of Western education and excel. Thanks to integration, this leaves black people open to participate in not only the Western economy and political arenas, but also certain levels of the Western social sphere. Still, I cannot help thinking about the Jews and how well integrated they were into German society before World War II. Like African Ame...

OLED Vs LED Technology

OLED (Organic Light Emiting Diode)  technology is truly amazing and many manufacturers speak for a while about the ability to launch large diagonal HDTVs that use it. It is one of the reasons why there was so much interest when LG launched its new 55 inch OLED TV at CES 2012. It is gorgeous, both exterior and interior. You will not find it in the nearest store at the moment I am writing this article (March 2012), but very soon you will and then you would better know the difference between OLED and LED TV on the market today. However, don't get me wrong, LED's are amazing too. First, what is the difference?  The main difference is that OLED TVs do not need a light source (backlight). They produce their own light, with the help of electrical current passing through the organic diodes. On LED TVs, the diode light created passes through a liquid crystal display. So although it eliminates the traditional light source, there are several layers that increase the thickness. Wh...

Biology Science Project

There are many biology science project possibilities these days. Many of them focus on plants, and animals and how they grow. One project that has not been overdone, and can be done in many different ways is the biology science project that extracts DNA. Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA is the building block of any living organism. Each cell of every organism carries inside it the DNA of that living thing. This project shows students how to extract DNA, making it original each time because there are so many living things to choose from!  The simplest living thing you can extract DNA from is a fruit. Try getting a fruit that you can easily mash. A banana, a mango, or a papaya are some good examples of fruit that can be mashed. This project uses the knowledge that DNA is stored in the cells of a fruit, and that the DNA in the cells can be extracted once the cells are more separated or mashed up. The DNA from the fruit will be extracted by a mixture of liquid detergent, distilled wat...

Or maybe you started to work on this, but then inevitably, life happened... had to take a job to pay the bills, got married, had kids, moved, etc. etc. There's a universe of things that life can throw at you that can interrupt even the most well-intentioned plans for education. There are some rules of thumb out there when listing education on a resume which should be considered. 1. DON'T list the year you graduated. Unless you are in an education, government, scientific or highly technical field where having a date of graduation is essential, please don't broadcast how old you are by including this information.

However, resist the temptation to perhaps ...
