A common mortal from a developed country would be hard to convince that in Southeast Asia and Africa, diarrhea is responsible for as much as 8.5% and 7.7%, respectively. Yet this is the stark reality. Diarrhea is mostly caused by gastrointestinal infections. About 2.2 million people globally die of gastrointestinal-induced diarrhea.

Instead of believing what their eyes see, and what their total life experience clearly has taught them, many believe that we all think and behave the same. Whether this is a reflection of erroneous teaching passed down through generations, ignorance - or both - the phenomenon intrigues me.__So listen up… No, all of us don’t respond well to the accented greeting “What’s happenin’ brutha?” at the corner store - especially when we just heard you say “Hello, how are you today?” to the previous three non-Black customers.

We have all grown up in an age where exploration into dramatic new territory has become routine. We have had people travel into space to live for short periods of time. We have sent people to explore the moon. We have built machines to take people under the ocean to live and work. And we have even built machines, as extensions of ourselves, to go to places where we could not go physically and send back pictures and other data... [Read more]

After the Olympics in 1988 our team used to make frequent trips to The United States participating in one public relation event or another. On one such trip while attending a Lakers Game at the old Forum, I met Mike Tyson. At the time he was the youngest world heavy weight boxing champion. In fact he had landed a devasting blow to a fellow Jamaican, Trevor Berbick, to win the title. In the ensuing years “Iron” Mike annihilated any opponent who had the audacity to face him. Then lo and behold, Buster Douglas, a guy who probably had no business in the same arena let alone the same ring, knocked out Mike Tyson... [Read more]
