Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg announced on
Wednesday, December 12th, the launch of
a new outdoor public WiFi network in
Harlem accessible to all users at no cost. The Harlem
WiFi network will extend 95 city blocks, from 110th
to 138th Streets between Frederick Douglass Boule-
vard and Madison Avenue making it the largest con-
tinuous free outdoor public wireless network in the
nation. The network, which will be rolled out in
three phases in coordination with the citys Technol-
ogy Development Corporation and the Department
of Information Technology and Telecommunica-
tions, will increase digital access for approximately
80,000 Harlem residents, including 13,000 public
housing residents, as well as businesses and visitors
in the area. The free public network will serve the
community for an initial five-year term and is fund-
ed through a generous donation from the Fuhrman
Family Foundation to the Mayors Fund to Advance
New York City. The firs t phase , exten ding from
110th to 120th Streets between Madison Avenue and
Frederick Douglass Boulevard, is underway and the
remaining phases will be complete by May 2014.
The Mayor was joined at the announcement by Chief
Information and Innovation Officer Rahul Merchant,
Glenn and Amanda Fuhrman, Mayors Fund to
Advance New York City President Megan Sheekey,
Chief Digital Officer Rachel Haot, New York City
Housing Authority Chairman John Rhea and Harlem
Childrens Zone President and Chief Executive Offi-
cer Geoffrey Canada.
Our new Harlem wireless network brings
critical connectivity to residents and visitors, giving
them 24/7 access to everything from education mate-
rials for kids, to information about Harlems rich his-
tory and attractions, to everyday needs like paying
bills, checking library hours or even just keeping
tabs on the Knicks and Nets, said Mayor
Bloomberg. In 2013 being successful requires being
connected; thanks to the Fuhrman Family Founda-
tion and the Mayors Fund, we are wiring nearly 100
blocks in H arlem and giving 80,000 New Yorkers
another tool for success.
This unprecedented free network is pos-
sible thanks to private generosity and public know-
how, said Deputy Mayor Holloway. With the
management skills of the Technology Development
Corporation and the IT infrastructure expertise of
our Department of Information, Telecommunications
and Technology, New Yorkers will have access to
the largest free network in the nation in record time.
Increasing wireless connectivity helps to
strengthen neighborhoods for those who live, work,
and visit and is a key component of the Bloomberg
Administrations efforts to ensure digital inclusion,
said Chief Information and Innovation Officer Rahul
Merchant. The Harlem WiFi network extends wire-
less access to thousands of New Yorkers, enabling
convenient free connectivity on-the-go. Thank you
to our partners in this project for their commitment
to expanding our Citys digitally connected commu-
nities.
Combining the passion of private sup-
porters with the expertise of City agencies and local
community members has allowed us to provide pio-
neering public services like this initiative, said
Megan Sheekey, President of the Mayors Fund to
Advance New York City. We are very grateful to
the Fuhrman Family Foundation and the Harlem
WiFi network partners for their commitment to this
collaborative model and dedication to making New
York a truly 21st-Century city.
Internet access is critical to New York
Citys digital future, and todays announcement will
spur technology education, innovation and economic
opportunity, said Rachel Haot, New York Citys
Chief Digital Officer. This historic public WiFi
partnership in Harlem is the largest in the Citys his-
tory and will strengthen the community as it con-
nects more New Yorkers than ever before.
I have been hoping for years that we
could somehow make this happen for our children
and families, so I am personally delighted this day
has arrived, said Geoffrey Canada, President and
CEO of the Harlem Childrens Zone. Today, being
connected to the world and being competitive in the
global marketplace means access to the Internet,
which is essential to evening the digital playing field
for our kids.
We are honored to work with the
Mayors Fund, Harlem Childrens Zone and our
other local partners to facilitate the Harlem Free
Wifi project, said Amanda and Glenn Fuhrman.
We are proud New Yorkers and believers in the
communities and the people that make this city
extraordinary. We hope that increased access to the
Internet and its extensive resources will serve to
advance educational opportunities and support com-
munity development across a broad area of the city.
As more than 13,000 public housing resi-
dents will benefit from having access to free WiFi,
this will be a big boost in helping our residents
bridge the digital divide, said NYCHA Chairman
John Rhea. We greatly appreciate the efforts of the
Mayors Fund for NY, along with Sky Packets and
the Furman Foundation in providing this service; as
well as the very able collaboration of the Harlem
Childrens Zone in helping to spread the word of the
free WiFi availability.
It is an honor to work with the City of
New York to provide this free digital resource to the
visitors and residents of Harlem, said Henry
Quintin, CEO of Sky-Packets. In todays society
Internet access has become more of a necessity than
a luxury. Over the years Harlem has seen a transfor-
mation in its neighborhood and this is just another
life enhancing amenity that will help reduce the digi-
tal divide in an area where access may not be easy to
obtain.
The New York City Department of Infor-
mation Technology and Telecommunications and the
Technology Development Corporation are oversee-
ing the WiFi networks implementation working
closely with technology provider, Sky-Packets. The
project will be implemented in three phases:
I. Phase One: 110th to 120th Street,
betwe en Madis on Aven ue & Frede rick Dougl ass
Blvd. Scheduled for completion in December 2013.
II. Phase Two: 121st to 126th Street,
betwe en Madis on Aven ue & Frede rick Dougl ass
Blvd. Scheduled for completion in February 2014.
III. Phase Three: 127th to 138th Street,
betwe en Madis on Aven ue & Frede rick Dougl ass
Blvd. Scheduled for completion in May 2014.
The Harlem WiFi network will provide a
fast Internet connection from portable devices com-
pletely free of charge. The network will be available
24/7 in outdoors locations within the zone, with
unlimited access. Enabling connectivity is a key
component of increasing technology inclusion city-
wide. From public WiFi in over 50 parks and access
to computers and the web through NYCHAs Digital
Van, to computer courses at senior centers and
libraries and subsidized broadband for thousands of
low-income residents, today more New Yorkers are
connected than ever before. Many of these programs
are possible through the NYC Connected Communi-
ties initiative. Formerly funded through the Ameri-
can Recovery and Reinvestment Acts Broadband
Technology Opportunities Program, NYC Connect-
ed Communities recently received city funding to
continue its technology programs, enabling more
New Yorkers to continue to access critica l d igital
resources.
In addition to the phased WiFi implemen-
tation, Harlem Childrens Zone will be increasing
awareness and network use among Harlem residents,
businesses, and visitors.

Pat Stevenson,Publisher /Editor
P.O. Box #1775, NY NY 10027
Last week, President Barack
Obama delivered an address,
starting a dialogue on how the
long path to America's current level
of inequality has led us to the wrong
place.
The president said that Amer-
icans' frustration with Washington is
"rooted in the nagging sense that no
matter how hard they work, the deck
is stacked against them." His timing
coincided with the nationwidespread of strikes by fast-food work-
ers, showing they cannot wait for
Washington to act on raising mini-
mum wages.
Unfortunately, the day also
saw the loss of Nelson Mandela, a
world-class standard bearer for jus-
tice. The passing of Mandela is a
time to reflect on how the world can
change if people just stand up, even-
tually justice wins out.
The president can do two
things to add real meaning to his
speech on inequality. First, heshould sit down and meet with the
workers who protested on Black Fri-
day and with the fast-food strikers.
His meetings with corporate heads
to talk about creating jobs have
yielded little. He should show Amer-
ica that now he is listening to those
who labor to build this country.
Their daily struggle to make ends
meet will give a better understand-
ing of what is wrong with our econ-
omy.
America cannot stand tall if
multibillion-dollar multinational
giants like McDonald's, the world'ssecond-largest employer behind
Walmart, gives its workers few
hours and low pay. The workers at
the two largest employers should be
the customers that drive an econom-
ic engine.
Instead, McDonald's share of
the billions spent by the federal gov-
ernment on Supplemental Nutrition-
al Assistance Program (SNAP)
be ne fi ts , Me di ca id an d ho us in g
assistance to support the lives of
fast-food workers is a little higher
than $1 billion. Generally billion-
dollar subsidies are used to produce
more of something we need-likeeducation-not more of something we
don't need, like heart stopping, bot-
tom spreading fattening foods.
Everyone wants to ask if a
McDonald's worker got $15 an hour,
what would that do to the price of a
hamburger? Instead, what people
need to be asking is how much in
SNAP, Medicaid and housing assis-
tance does a hamburger cost? Trag-
ically, people in America are far
more sensitized that if McDonald's
polluted rivers from chicken farm
runoff to make McNuggets to askhow much it costs to clean up
McDonald's environmental mess
than they are to the human sacrifice
we demand to eat cheap hamburgers.
Our national inability to
relate demands for cheap food, or
cheap Chinese electronics with the
human sacrifice of America's work-
ers needing SNAP benefits to eat is
at the heart of how our policies have
drifted to create increasing inequali-
ty rather than rising lifestyles. At
Walmart, the majority of associates
don't even make a living wage of
$25,000 a year.But, the tide is turning. Black
Friday sales were down this year; in
large part because corporate Ameri-
ca overplayed its hand at cheapening
the Thanksgiving Holiday. Similarly,
the fast-food strikes this week are
just the beginning of a march to eco-
nomic justice.
America has lost touch with
the value of work. If the minimum
wage of 1968 had kept pace with
American workers' productivity,
then today it would be more than
$21; had it kept up with only half
the growth in productivity it would
be more than $15. The productivityof America's workers continues to
climb, while the wages of our work-
ers sag-all workers, even those with
four-year degrees and those who
went to high school.
And that gap between what
America's workers make and what
they take home is the fuel of the ris-
ing inequality, because it tracks the
rise in pay of the top 1 percent. We
cannot close that gap through more
education or training. The striking
fast-food workers and the Walmart
workers know that gap will beclosed when workers stand up to
fight for their share.
The second thing the presi-
dent can do is produce a budget that
talks about more than the fiscal
deficit. He should score his budget
to see how it reduces inequality. He
should score his budget to see how it
reduces child poverty.
In January at the State of the
Union, he should point to a fast-food
striker up in the gallery and tell how
the budget being submitted will
close the gap between America's
promise and the reality of years ofpolicies that work against fulfilling
that promise. That is the deficit we
want closed.

MAINTAINING YOUR HOME:Financial Assistance ProgramsBy Rev. Charles Butler, HCCI
Last week I highlighted the Mort-
gage Assistance Program (MAP)
available to help homeowners who
are currently experiencing financial diffi-
culty. Today we will look at another pro-
gram available through the New York
Times Fund called the Neediest Case Pro-
gram. This program is designed to pro-
vide financial assistance to affected
families and individuals, by helping them
secure stable and affordable housing. Eli-
gible families who are losing their homes
as a result of predatory practices can
receive up to $10,000 in financial support
for relocation or home retention. It canalso be used by their tenants who are
being forced to vaca te thei r apar tment
beca use of the impending foreclo sure,
relocate as a result of the homeowner in
danger of losing their homes to foreclo-
sure or who have already lost their homes
to foreclosure and need help with reloca-
tion expenses.
This fund focuses on assisting
homeowners who have received subprime
loans resulting in either a higher fixed
interest rate, an adjustable rate or option
arm mortgages which consequently forced
them in them making higher mortgage
payment then they could afford . This
already high mortgage compounded with
the sagging economy and stagnant unem-
ployment rate created a combination des-
tined for financial failure: an extremely
high volume of mortgage delinquencies
and mortgage defaults. Many homeown-
ers were caught out there without any
warning and now must face the dreaded
consequences of losing their homes
The basic eligibility requirements
include the following: (1) Homeowners
include modest and low-income families
and individuals who are losing their
homes as a result of subprime mortgageissues, including renters leasing apartment
in multi-family houses. (2) Individuals
and or families must have income to sus-
tain their financial obligations of the cur-
rent or new dwelling beyond the
expenditures provided through the Needi-
est Cases grant. (3) Applicants are
screened by a housing partner agency
with expertise in subprime lending.
The application process will
require you d to provide documents and
verification to the following list of ques-
tions: (1) Sources of monthly income and
amounts; (2) Total monthly mortgage
payment and/or rent and tot al amount
owed. (3) Household composition - list of
all individuals residing on the property,
their ages and relationship. (4) A narrative
stating the problem the following docu-
ments and verification (5) Assistance

ments will include: court papers, Once the
application has been reviewed you will

On Thanksgiving afternoon at about
12:30 I arrived at Jacob Restaurant
where the line was down the block. As
I approached the front door, a homeless man
was out front with his shopping cart, eating a
plate of food he had gotten from Jacobs. He
just looked up at me and said God is Good.
Since opening in 2008, Jacob Soul
Food Restaurant & Salad Bar has opened their
doors on Thanksgiving Day, providing dinners
for the Harlem community. In addition to tra-
ditional turkey, dressing and all the trimmings,
the menu included more than 42 buffet items,
including crispy fried chicken, macaroni and
cheese, collard greens, candied yams, potato
salad, home-made peach cobbler, corn bread,
Jerk chicken, oxtails, curry goat, peas and rice,
salad, fruit, etc. Free dinners, with a dessert
and beverage were served starting at 10:30a. at
the two Jacob locations at 373 Lenox Avenue
and 2695 Frederick Douglass Blvd. M o r e
than 20 volunteers helped to serve up the dish-
es. Volunteers included business owners, fami-
lies and residents of the community. Princess
Jenkins, owner of the Brownstone with her
husband Polo and daughter Jasmine were
among the volunteers.
Nam ed after his fat her , Jacob is a
family business run by Rachid Niang and Kim
Lum Chan Niang. They have two young chil-
dren who were born after the opening in 2008,
Soda Niang and Jacob Niang. Rachid is stead-
fast in his belief that businesses in the commu-
nity should work together and one should give
back to the community which supports them.
They have given generously to non-profit
organizations and churches. After Hurricane
Sandy last year, Rachid prepared hot meals
and fed more than 200 people in Far Rock-
away.
In the past, Grammy award winning
icon, Roberta Flack has help distribute
Thanksgiving meals at Jacobs, along with
community leaders and politicians, who were
invited guests.
Before opening the restaurant,
Rachid worked in the food service business for
more than 10 years. "One day I decided that I
could do it better than the rest. I have a large
following because I offer fresh food. They can
feel at home here. I have an open kitchen at the
first restaurant on Lenox Ave so my customers
can watch my staff prepare their meals in a
clean environment. It's important, especially
these days, to find quality, quantity, variety
and affordable food that is also good to eat,"
said Rachid.
Jacob Restaurant is one of New
York's most affordable, reputable caterers rou-
tinely preparing and delivering foods for orga-
nizations, churches, associations, clubs and
residents throughout New York City's five bor-
oughs.

Uninsured African Americans Eligible for Medicaid, CHIP orTax Credits in the Health Insurance Marketplace
Six out of ten uninsured AfricanAmericans may be eligible for
Medicaid, CHIP or tax credits
in the Health Insurance Marketplace
95 percent of uninsured
African Americans might qualify for
lower costs on coverage if all states
expanded Medicaid
According to a new report
released today by the Department of
Health and Human Services, six out
of ten (4.2 million) uninsured
African Americans who may be eli-
gible for coverage through the
Health Insurance Marketplace mightqualify for Medicaid, the Childrens
Health Insurance Program (CHIP),
or tax credits to help with the cost of
premiums. If all states took advan-
tage of new opportunities to expand
Medicaid coverage under the Afford-
able Care Act, 95 percent of unin-
sured African Americans who may
be eligible for the Marketplace might
qualify for Medicaid, the Childrens
Health Insurance Program (CHIP),
or tax credits to help with the cost ofpremiums.
The health care law is work-
ing to address long standing dispari-
ties in health care coverage and
improve the health of the African
American community, said Secre-
tary of Health and Human Services
Kathleen Sebelius. Through the
Health Insurance Marketplace, 6.8
million uninsured African Americans
have new options for affordable
health coverage that covers a range
of benefits, including important pre-
ventive services with no out-of-pocket costs.
Todays report also details
uninsurance rates by state and pro-
vides several examples of what pre-
miums might look like for African
Americans living in major metropol-
itan areas. One fifth of uninsured
African American citizens and per-
manent residents live the greater
Atlanta, New York, Chicago, Dallas,
Houston, and Detroit metropolitan
areas. A 27-year-old in Atlanta withan income of $25,000 can pay as lit-
tle as $105 a month for a bronze plan
after applying the tax credit, while a
family of four with an income of
$50,000 could pay $148 a month for
a bronze plan after applying the tax
credit.
Nationwide, about 2 million
uninsured African Americans may be
eligible for coverage through Medic-
aid or the Childrens Health Insur-
ance Program (CHIP).
States have new opportunities
to expand Medicaid coverage toinclude Americans with family
incomes at or below 133 percent of
the federal poverty level (generally
$31,322 for a family of four in
2013). This expansion includes
adults without dependent children
living at home, who have not previ-
ously been eligible in most states.
An additional 2.2 million eli-
gible uninsured African American
adults with family incomes below
100 percent of the federal povertylevel live in states that are not
expanding Medicaid. The number of
uninsured African Americans who
may be eligible for access to health
coverage at a lower cost would
increase from 60 to 95 percent if all
states adopted the Medicaid expan-
sion.

Harlem News Group TRIBUTEHARLEM . QUEENS . BROOKLYN . BRONX
Nelson Mandela, 95, passed away
on December 5th 2013 in Johan-
nesburg, South Africa. "During
my lifetime I have dedicated myself to
this struggle of the African people," Man-
dela began at the opening of his defense
in the Rivonia treason trial on April 20th,
1964, "I have fought against white domi-
nation, and I have fought against black
domination. I have cherished the ideal ofa democratic and free society in which all
persons live together in harmony and with
equal opportunities. It is an ideal, which I
hope to live for and to achieve. But if
needs be, it is an ideal for which I am pre-
pared to die."
Mandela blessed Harlem with a
visit during the very year he was released
from prison in 1990. Joined by an audi-
ence of over 100,000, he pleaded for
international support - "The light at the
end of the tunnel (of apartheid) now beck-
ons, but we are not yet thereTo reach
the end of the tunnel requires that we
intensify the struggle . . . and remain unre-
lenting in pursuit of our goal."
Now twenty-three years la te r,Mandela is forever engrained in our
hearts. "In Memory of Nelson Mandela /
1918-2013 / He changed our world" read
the marquee of the Apollo Theater in
Harlem on December 5th, 2013.
World-renowned artist Franco
The Great glanced upon the mural that he
pa in te d in 1995 of Ma ndela, "I t was
imperative for me to paint a picture of this
nature, he is the king of all kings, a leader
of all leaders, Mandela will live forever."
The mural is located on a storefront gate
on 125th Street between 8th and 7th Ave.
next to the Apollo and includes Nelson
Mandela, Malcolm X, MLK Jr., and
Obama.Congressman Charles Rangel
aired, "He is my personal hero and I will
never forget how humbled I felt when I
first met him. Ever since that day, I have
thought to myself: 'God spent a lot of time
making Nelson Mandela.'"
Former NYC Mayor, David Dink-
ins, commented, "Perhaps once in a gen-
eration a man, a movement, and a moment
come together on a mission for freedom
that is so powerful, so courageous, so just
that all the guns and dogs, hatred and vio-
lence, deprivation and force that can be
mustered cannot turn them back. It has
been our good fortune that this moment
came within our lifetimes, and a greatblessing that it came in the person of Nel-
son Mandela."
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was
born on July 18th, 1918, in the small vil-
lage of Mvezo in Transkei, South Africa.
His Father named him 'Rolihlahla,' which
means, "pulling the branch of the tree" or
"troublemaker." His teacher Miss Mdin-
gane gave him the name 'Nelson' on his
first day of school, as it was custom to
give English names due to British influ-
ence. As a sign of respect, many South
Africans refer to Mandela by his Xhosa
clan name - 'Madiba.'
Mandela became active in the
political and social movement in his 20's
by joining the African National Congress,ANC, in 1942. The mission of the ANC
was to unite African people and spearhead
fundamental political, social and econom-
ic change.
'Apartheid' was an official gov-
ernment policy of racial segregation
enforced through legislation by the ruling
South African party - the National Party -
from 1948 to 1994 and classified South
African inhabitants into four racial groups
- Bantu (black Africans), Coloured
(mixed race), White, and Asian (meaning
Indian and Pakistani).
Under the Apartheid, residential
areas were segregated, non-white political
representation was prohibited, black peo-ple were deprived citizenship, and segre-
gation seeped through all aspects of South
African life.
For 20 years, Mandela directed a
campaign of peaceful, nonviolent defiance
against the standing South African gov-
ernment and Apartheid. However, when
the National Party banned the ANC in
1960, Mandela argued for the implemen-
tation of a military wing within the ANC.
He expressed, "[I]t would be wrong and
unrealistic for African leaders to continue
preaching peace and nonviolence at a time
when the government met our peaceful
demands with force. It was only when all
else had failed, when all channels ofpeaceful protest had been barred to us,
that the decision was made to embark on
violent forms of political struggle." This
armed wing of the ANC became known as
Umkhonto we Sizwe (abbreviated as MK,
translated as "Spear of the Nation").
In 1963, many leaders of the
ANC and the Umkhonto we Sizwe were
arrested and put on trial, including Man-
dela, for plotting to overthrow the govern-
ment by violent means. On June 12th,
1964, Mandela and eight others were sen-
tenced to life in prison.
From 1964 to 1982 Mandela was
held at Robben Island Prison, off Cape
Town. He was then transferred to
Pollsmoor Prison and Victor VersterPrison, respectively. During his years in
prison, Nelson Mandela became accepted
as the most significant black leader in
South Africa and a symbol of hope and
resistance as the anti-apartheid movement
strengthened.
F. W. de Klerk became President
of South African on September 20th, 1989
and in his first speech in office he called
for a non-racist South Africa, lifted the
ban on the ANC, and rel eased Nels on
Mandela.
Mandela was released in 1990
and was a centerpiece in the eradication of
Apartheid in 1994. 1994 was also the year
that Mandela became the first black presi-dent of South Africa!
"His journey from a prisoner to a
President embodied the promise that
human beings -- and countries -- can
change for the better. His commitment to
transfer power and reconcile with those
who jailed him set an example that all
humanity should aspire to, whether in the
lives of nations or our own personal
lives." - Barack Obama
"He embodied what he pro-
claimed - he walked the talk. He invited
his former jailer to attend his presidential
inauguration as a VIP guest, and he invit-
ed the man who led the state's case against
him at the Rivonia Trial, calling for theimposition of the death penalty, to lunch
at his presidential office." - Desmond
TuTu
During his years in office, Man-
dela helped rebuild and reshape South
Africa. One of his most notable feats was
spearheading the Truth and Reconciliation
Commission. This allowed Apartheid vic-
tims to give public statements about their
experiences as well as those that commit-
ted violent acts to give testimony and
request amnesty.
Embodying reconciliation and a
true peacemaker, Mandela won the Nobel
Peace Prize in 1993. After leaving office
in 1999, Mandela retired from active poli-
tics but maintained a strong internationalpresence as an activist of peace, reconcili-
ation, and social justice.
"If you want to make peace with
your enemy, you have to work with your
enemy. Then he becomes your partner." -
Nelson Mandela.
A service of Praise and Thanks-
giving for the life of President Nelson
Mandela was held on Wednesday,
December 11th at Riverside Church.
On Tuesday, December 10th tens
of thousands from all over the world,
including President Obama, presidents,
prime minis ters , royal s, celebrities and
South African citizens attended a memori-
al service honoring Madiba, (as he is affec-tionately called by South Africans) at
Johannesburg FNB stadium.
A State funeral will be held Sun-
day, December 15th in Mandelas ances-
tral hometown of Qunu in South Africas
Eastern Cape Province.

Sale Signs Part 1By Audrey Adams
The holidays are in full swing, and
everywhere you look there are
signs calling to you Sale!
Sale!Sale! The urge to shop, even in dif-
ficult economic times, can be powerful.
Its hard to resist an opportunity to save
by purchasing something-anything that
you just gotta have, that you really
only created an impulse need forsim-
ply because its on sale or because its a
great time to shop because there are
opportunities everywhere to save on just
about anything!
Im not pointing fingers; Imguilty of loving a good sale too. BUT, I
have to face a few cold facts, so go with
me for a minute . . . Often what looked
fabulous in the fitting room, didnt look
so great after getting home to my own
mirror. Or, I sometimes buy things that I
already have in my closet . . . how many
black skirts does one really need? What
I finally realized was that I was shop-
ping for all the wrong reasons. Instead
of shopping I really needed to address
what was really bothering me, because
shopping didnt help me feel better. So,
as I see it, this is a great time to reflect
on changes I need to make. And since it
is customary to work on ones worst
habits firstI chose shopping.
All of you kindred spirits out
there; please keep reading. Dont get me
wrong. Im not going to advocate that
one should never shop again, because
like I said, I love sales. But what I will
say is that if you are going to shop, shop
responsibly. So, here a few guidelines
for you to implement before you start
shopping. Before you go consider doing
the following three things:
* Go through your closet (aswell as your other family members),
and contribute undamaged or slightly
worn clothing, shoes, handbags and
other accessories to a local organization
or shelter that works with the less fortu-
nate to empower themselves. Having
good clothes can really be a great new
start for someone. As you go through,
be honest with yourself, if you havent
worn it in a year or its too smallits
out!
* Before you go shopping, ask
yourself if you really, really need to
shop. Your time and energy might be
better spent improving yourself in other
ways or spending time with family and
friends.
* Ask yourself why you want to
shop. Are you lonely? Down in the
dumps? Have your exs credit card
number? If youve got it like that finan-
cially, and have a need to spend, then
you might consider putting some of
your disposable income to better use
like putting something away for your
childs college education, starting an
annuity, saving for a down payment on
a home, adding to your retirement fund,taking a class to grow professionally or
giving to charity . . .
If after asking yourself these
three questions, and you still feel the
need to shopWait until next weeks
column. I have a few more things for
you to consider. Dont worry though,
the sale signs will still be there . . . think
about. See you next week.

This time of year, one of your
favorite things to do is to look
at lights.
Your entire neighborhood is
filled with all kinds of them. Lights on
houses, lights on trees, lights on bush-
es, wire, decks, and steps. You might
see them on boats, in the park, on a
statue, or made into shapes in some-
ones front yard. And you might even
have them inside your own house, on
a tree or in a window.
Theyre twinkly. Theyre
bright. And you cant stop looking at
all the lights. So lets take a walk tosee the lights in Dusk by Uri Shule-
vitz.
It gets dark very early in the
winter, sometimes even before you get
home from school. On this one winter
afternoon, a boy, his grandfather, and
their dog decide to take a walk around
the city. By the time they got to the
edge of the water, the sun was disap-
pearing beyond the horizon.
How sad, the boy said, the
day is no more.
But the grandfather (who had
a very long beard) wasnt worried. It
was only dusk, which is what happens
when the sun goes down.
On their way back to the city,
they noticed that people were scurry-
ing everywhere. Some were on their
way back home at the end of the day.
Others were hoping to do a little shop-
ping at the downtown stores.
The grandfather and the boy
met a lot of unusual people as they
walked. One man was shopping for
toys. A woman with a very fancy hat
was looking for gifts for her kitten.People were looking for yummy
things and weird things.
But the boy, his grandfather,
and their dog kept right on walking. It
was starting to get dark. As natures
lights go out, citys lights come on
and so did the lights on all the down-
town stores! The boy saw Christmas
lights on the streetlamps and on
Christmas trees inside and outside. He
saw candles on a menorah, and chil-
dren celebrating Hanukkah. He saw
candles in another window, standing
proud on a kinara and surrounded by
children celebrating Kwanzaa.
It was beautiful. It was mag-
nificent. It was almost as if the sun
was still out.
So your child wants a read-
aloud tonight, but theres not much
time for it. Grab Dusk, then,
because this book wont take long.
Author Uri Shulevitz tells a
story of an evening stroll on a cold
night and he does it with a handful of
words; some pages, in fact, hold just a
half-sentence. That forces you to takea slower, ambling pace in reading
somewhat like a leisurely walk.
And maybe because those
words are so sparse, its easy to focus
on the illustrations here which is,
perhaps, what you should be doing
anyhow. Shulevitz drawings are done
in gorgeous color, evoking the night
chill and the warmth of the lights.
If youre looking for a Kwan-
zaa-Christmas-Hanukkah book that
will dazzle your 2-to-6-year-old, this
ones it. Read it, and Dusk could
become one of her favorite things.

We live in a three dimen-
sional slower than the
speed of light world of
form. Albert Einstein's Theory of
Relativity Energy=Mass and the
Speed of Light Squared (E=MC2)
proved that everything in our uni-
verse is vibrating energy. An ener-
gy mass vibrating slower than the
speed of light can have form which
allows it to become a part of our
three dimensional world. Einstein's
Theory enhanced the early discov-
ery by Nikola Tesla of Zero Point
Energy, the energy source that cre-
ates our three dimensional uni-
verse.
The question of what is on
the other side of Zero Point Energy
is, bringing Quantum Physics and
Ancient Spiritual Philosophies
together, it is called the Spiritual
Science Movement. The invisible
world is a term often used in Taoist
writings. The invisible world or
Spiritual world is considered to be
a dimension where individuals can
consciously or unconsciously tap
into.
With the discovery of
Tachyon Energy in 1977, we now
know that energy can move from a
formless zero point energy dimen-
sion into our three dimensional
world of form. The possibility of
the existence of other dimensions
is a growing line of research in
Quantum Physics. Energy never
dies, it will only change form. In
Taoism, the energy of your ances-
tors exist in the invisible or spiritu-
al world, science is now saying
that the energy of your ancestors
could possibility exist in a different
dimension.
I do not believe that the
death of a loved one is the end, I
believe that we can consciously or
unconsciously tap into the energy
of a loved ones who are no longer
in our three dimensional world of
form. I often like to share these
thoughts around the holiday sea-
son. We often think about friends
and family who are no longer in
this dimension around this time.
For some it can be a time of sad-
ness, but it should not be.
The energy of unconditional
love has a very high frequency. It
is the foundation of our Ki Energy
treatments at our center. It is also
your way to move from this three
dimensional world into the spiritu-
al world. You can connect to the
energy of your ancestors when this
happens. It could be during medi-
tation or in a dream but many peo-
ple have experienced a form of
communication with their ances-
tors and loved ones who have tran-
sitioned. I have learned that fear
and doubt can prevent us from
accepting the possibility that com-
munication can be made with spiri-
tual energy outside of our world.
Up until recently many would find
it difficult to accept this as a ratio-
nal conversation. Science is now
saying there are unlimited possibil-
ities waiting to be discovered on
the other side of zero.
I believe during this time of
year the ability to tap into different
dimensions of energy is intensified
and can cause depression for those
who are not aware. I suggest this is
the time to embrace the memories,
and feelings we have of loved ones
who are no longer with us in this
world. We are all vibrating forms
of energy, and energy never dies it
just changes form, I truly believe
that there is life on the other side
of zero, a place where there is no
beginning and no end. With love
and faith all things are possible.

People who consume soft drinks
such as Coke have a 48% increase
in heart attack and stroke risk, com-
pared to people who did not drink the
sodas at all or did not drink them every
day. A study published in the journal
Respirology reveals that soft drink con-
sumption is also associated with lung and
breathing disorders including asthma andchronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD).
As a way to manage your blood
pressure, herbs and spices are a fantastic
way to increase the medicinal value of
your food. Below are some herbs and
spices you may have been enjoying with
no idea as to their value:
1. Garlic - Garlic contains allicin,
a substance which has antibacterial,
antioxidant, lipid lowering and anti-
hypertension properties.
2. Cinnamon - Cinnamon not
only prevents heart disease, it can also
prevent diabetes.
3. Onions - Onions containquercetin, an antioxidant flavonol found
to prevent heart disease and stroke.
4. Olives - Oil made from olives
has been found to reduce blood pressure.
5. Oregano - This herb contains
the compound carvacrol which has been
proven to be effective against blood pres-
sure.
6. Hawthorn - This herb has been
traditionally used to treat high blood pres-
sure.
7. Cardamom- In one study was
able to demonstrate that blood pressure
was effectively reduced.

The transition of President Nel-

this ancestor. His thoughts and wis-
dom should be a guide to us all. He
showed forgiveness, humility, love
and gave us hope for our future as a
people and strength as individuals.

Harlem.
Following the revival will be a
celebration honoring my best friend
Rev. Joseph T. Bright, Jr., Pastor of
Tabernacle of Deliverance on Decem-
ber 15th at 3:30pm. Everyone should
come out and support this great friend

Be careful walking the streets
of our city. The knock-out attack is
real! When approaching a large group
of people males or females and
you feel uncomfortable try to go into a
store and wait for them to pass. This
is not a solution, just a suggestion.
Its a shame that seniors are being
attacked as well as children.
The teen pregnancy rate
among African-American teenagers is
the lowest since 1990. Thats a good
sign for our future. Its a tragedy
when children who havent been fully
raised themselves are having children.
There still is a need for parental input
into their childrens sexual develop-
ment. When you see the signs of sex-
uality developing in your children you
should intervene with corrective mea-
sure and lots of prevention advice.

The New IT Girl and StemBy Ron Stephenson
As the technology industry
continues to boom, women
are making headlines and
head way closing the gender gap.
Within a predominately male indus-
try, according to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, 60% of new posi-
tions were filled by women in the
past 12 months. Historically, 70-
80% of these new jobs were held by
men. However, it must be noted, it
is unknown how many positions are
engineering versus administrative.
Regardless, the shift toward induct-ing more females into an industry
thats been unable to shake the
boys club label is a positive indi-
cation of changing times.
This recent research also will
support the new push to get young
girls more interested in science,
technology, engineering, and math,
also known as STEM.
Young startups such as Black
Girls Code, GoldieBlox, and Girls
Who Code are doing their part to
introduce a different career path to
an overlooked demographic.
Although only founded in
2011, Black Girls Code has quickly
gained momentum and recognition
for its transformative programs.
The non-profit teaches African
American girls, ages 7 -17, how to
program, code, develop games and
more. Its after school programs and
workshops provide young ladies,
many from underprivileged back-
grounds, with the confidence and
tools to explore a career within tech-
nology.
While Black Girls Codemethod of education is more class-
room orientated, GoldieBlox takes a
more fun approach. GoldieBlox
utilizes toys to shift the stone-aged
narrative of gender roles that are
ingrained into young girls. Instead
of encouraging girls to limit them-
selves and exclusively play with
dolls or cookware sets, GoldieBlox
gets girls building. The compa-
nys main priority is to use its con-
struction sets to bolster confidence
in spatial skills while giving young
inventors the tools necessary to
build and create ama zing things.
By designing a construction toy
from the female perspective, we aim
to disrupt the pink aisle and inspire
the future generation of female engi-
neers, says GoldieBlox.
Meanwhile in New York
City, Girls Who Code has also set
out to achieve gender parity within
the tech and engineering industry.
Future female techies are mentored
by female engineers and entrepre-
neurs, and taught computer science,
web design, and mobile develop-ment.
Through these three organi-
zations, and others like it, girls will
share the passion, and most of all,
demonstrate the intelligence to com-
pete with other brilliant minds with-
in this ever-evolving field ripe with
opportunities.

forward-looking organizations visit
