Why Some Souls Are White and Others Black
It was in the beginning, and four men were
walking through the woods and came upon two rivers. One river was of water,
clear as crystal and of great clarity; the other was murky, frightful, and horrifying
to the taste.
The four men were puzzled as to which river they
should cross; for, whereas the dirty river seemed very difficult to pass, the
clear river was easier to cross.
The men, after some discussion, thought that
they should cross the black river, and two of them at once crossed it.
The other two, however, barely touched the black water
and returned to the edge of the woods.
The two men that had crossed the river
called to their two companions urging them to cross, but in vain. They had
already determined to leave their companions and to cross the clear white river.
However, after they crossed, they were surprised
to find that they had become black; the two who had crossed the black river,
however, were a white color.
The two parties now traveled in different
directions and this is why some souls are white and some black.

Eastern
coasts of Caribbean, United States, and South America, are in danger of being blasted
by hurricanes wind and rain during hurricane season from June through November. But,
why?
The scientific reason why is because of Africa’s
Sahara desert dust storms and the transition of thunderstorms off the west coast
of Africa. The waters in the North Atlantic Ocean are typically at their
warmest while the Sahara is at its hottest from July through October, so the
chances of a hurricane are highest during these months.
Hurricanes
are gigantic weather systems using convection, the movement of hot and cold
air, to create dangerous storms. They are rotating heat engines powered by the
warmth of tropical waters having three main parts, the eye, the eyewall, and
rainbands.
Hurricanes cannot form just anywhere in the world due to the need
for hot and humid air. They normally form close to the equator and move west or
northwest. Hurricane Alley is a stretch of warm water through the Atlantic

Survival of the Fattest Meaning
The copper statue Survival of the Fattest by Jens Galschiøt and Lars Calmar was created in 2002. The fat woman is holding a pair of scales as a symbol of justice however; she is
closing her eyes so the justice. Galschiot symbolized the woman as being blind, refusing to see the obvious

Charging Cell Phones in Rural Africa
Chic African Culture
The simple task of charging a cell phone is no simple matter in rural African villages far from an electric grid.
With the advent of tiny rooftop solar panels electricity could be accessible to millions.
African
governments are struggling to meet to
electric needs of the poorest of the poor
living in rural areas.
Living off-grid may be a lifestyle choice to some and a
fact of everyday living to the poorest of the poor. However, tiny rooftop solar
panels and high-efficiency LED lights across the African continent could
provide enough electricity to charge cell phones.
Cell phones are vital for people in
rural areas with no access to banks in order to send and receive money, access medical
care and stay in contact with family and friends.
