You have three resources over which you have control that can enable you to attain whatever you desire out of life: Knowledge, Energy and Time. These are the big three: K.E.T. Unfortunately, the one of these success-factors which often gets the least attention is the mastery of your time. Too many of us tend to figure that there are 24 hours in a day and that's it. But that is simply not true. I accomplish more with my 24 hours than 98 percent of the population. This is achieved while regularly getting a good night's sleep and rarely feeling stressed or over burdened. As a veteran time management advocate, I offer you the following secrets to effective and efficient time management.

Stop Slandering Black Women with the AIDS Epidemic
Over the past three or so years, there has been a deliberate attempt to manipulate figures in such a manner as to increasingly portray the AIDS epidemic as a "Black" disease. This attempt has centered primarily on African American women and involves on one hand taking HIV/AIDS statistics out of context and on the other hand remaining silent about other numbers. The purpose of this slander has been to remove any stigma attached to the disease from the male homosexual community and place it on Blacks in general and Black women in particular. I first became suspicious when I increasingly saw reports of a dramatic rise in the HIV infections among Black heterosexual women but there was no corresponding dramatic rise among Black heterosexual men. How could this be? If Black women were being increasingly infected with HIV/AIDS who was infecting them, especially since the rate of infection among intravenous drug users was actually declining. Here are the facts. HIV/AIDS infections in America still overwhelmingly occur in the male homosexual and bisexual community. That was the conclusion of the international experts who met in Mexico in August for the 17th International AIDS Conference. In addition, the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in mid-September released its most detailed Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report on AIDS in America. That report showed that the most AIDS infected group in America was young Black gay and bisexual males (aged 13 to 29). They were followed by white gay males in their 30s and 40s and then Hispanic gay males. The CDC refers to these groups as "men who have sex with men." Black females were actually the fourth most AIDS infected group. This does not mean that Black women are out of the woods. They are still 14 times more likely to be AIDS infected than white women. But the AIDS infection rate among white women is so low that being 14 times as infected as they are does not mean that Black females in America are about to be wiped out by AIDS as some of the news reports have suggested.
