Welcome to the ISM Chicago Gallery.
UPDATE: IDNR Press Release
llinois State Museum Will Re-Launch July 2 SPRINGFIELD, IL – The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) announced today that the Illinois State Museum will re-launch Saturday, July 2, 2016 pending approval of the administrative rule that will allow the Department to charge an admission fee at the main museum campus. The administrative rule is on the agenda for the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) meeting to be held June 14. With approval, the museum will be able to open about two weeks later. Initially, the Illinois State Museum in Springfield, Dickson Mounds Museum near Lewistown and the Research and Collections Center in Springfield will officially open July 2. The IDNR continues to work with stakeholders in communities where other Illinois State Museum branches are located in hopes of securing partnerships that would allow those branches to open. "IDNR has been working steadily through the JCAR process to establish the administrative rule to set an admission fee," said IDNR Director Wayne Rosenthal. "By setting the admission fee, working closely with the Illinois State Museum Board and Illinois State Museum Society, we feel we are setting the Museum on a more sustainable path for the future." The administrative rule authorizes the Department to establish an admission fee for the Springfield campus of $5 for adults. Children under 18, seniors and veterans will be admitted free. The admission fee is part of a greater effort to diversify the sources of funding for the museum.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was given an injection that the urgent care company is trying to charge me for after i already payed for the office visit. They did not inform me of the charges until they sent me a past due notice.
Well, unless your state has a first party debt collection statute (e.g., California Rosenthal Act, Florida FCCPA, etc.) they can still lawfully collect. Still, I would using plain English dispute the legitimacy of the debt in writing, send it certified and then monitor your credit report and further collection activity. The FDCPA would prohibit third party debt collectors from collecting a debt known to be disputed with a cease and desist letter in place. Failure to also report the debt as disputed, with a dispute to the credit reporting agency, could give rise to private causes of action that would help to remedy the macro situation. www.leavenlaw.com
This answer should not be construed to establish an attorney-client relationship. Please consult a licensed attorney in your state and visit www.FloridaBKLawyer.com or www.ConsumerRightsGroup.com for more details.
I recommend a cease and desist as opposed to a dispute. A dispute letter is only timely if received within 30 days of the initial written communication. Unfortunately, most debt collectors tend to lie about when this communication occurred. If a dispute is received outside of those 30 days, then the creditor/debt collector is not required to validate the debt.
Do you have a template cease and desist?
When you signed accepting treatment, it is BEYOND likely (and I say this because the same thing happened to me and when I asked they showed me where it was) that you accepted responsibility for payment if you did not have insurance or if they do not bill your insurance. With that said, pay it or don't and then they will send you to collections. Sounds harsh, but I know from personal experience that when you sign the initial forms at check-in at Zoom Care or 99% of the other Urgent Care places, you consent to ALL bills. That's why you need to see if they take your insurance first, and if you don't have any, work out a payment plan.
THIS IS NOT A CONFIDENTIAL FORUM. PLEASE DO NOT PROVIDE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION BECAUSE THERE IS NO ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE PROTECTION. My statement is only a matter of my opinion and does not go to the merits of your case. Seek advice from an attorney in your local area if you have confidential or case specific questions or concerns. No Attorney-Client relationship is established between myself and any other party by communication through Avvo.com until both parties have signed a Retainer Agreement and any necessary fees have been paid to my firm. I am licensed to practice law in the State of Oregon and the Federal District Court for the State of Oregon.

text: 000 FXUS65 KRIW 191734 AFDRIW Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Riverton WY 1034 AM MST Thu Jan 19 2017 .SHORT TERM...Today through Saturday night Imagery shows split flow ending and being replaced weak upper level southwest flow. The SFC, however, continues with high pressure over the Great Basin and into WY west of the Divide with lower pressure to the east. No precipitation anywhere around WY ATTM. Generally, increasing moisture with modest upper level instability and forcing will describe the state of the atmosphere through the forecast period and somewhat limited storm potential. The dry cold winter experienced lately will give way to snow once again as the split today gives way to increasing southwest flow aloft ahead of a digging and increasingly negatively tilted trof across the western CONUS. Accumulating precip ahead of this developing trof will begin to arrive over the far western FA later this morning. Gusty southwest winds will continue across the wind corridor from southeast Fremont county east across Natrona county mainly due to a strong surface PGRAD and slowly increasing winds aloft. Gusty near high wind over the Cody foothills will end this morning. Still, no highlights planned, although there could be a few near high wind gusts here and there. An SPS currently describes the wind situation. Then by this afternoon, as the digging trof heads into the intermountain west with the main jet and upper level forcing digging well to the south over the Desert Southwest, a weak embedded shortwave will begin to lift across Wyoming this evening. This SW trof will bring some chances for snow east of the Divide later tonight with the best chance coming to the northern/northeastern FA Friday, under the tail end of an exiting weak jet to the north. Heavier accumulating snowfall out west will occur today and tonight with what continues to look AOB Advisory level snowfall for the most part (could have localized Advisory amounts in the Tetons/Gros Ventre mountains). East of the Divide, snowfall will arrive later tonight and through the morning on Friday with the passage of the modest SW trof/vort max and tail end/entrance region of modest jet, mentioned above, along with a weak associated surface front, tapering off Friday afternoon/evening. Generally, the lower elevations east of the Divide can expect from a half inch to 2 inches across the southern zones to 1 to 3 inches over the northern zones with perhaps as much as 4 inches over portions of the northern Big Horn Basin by Friday evening. Most mountain areas east of the Divide will receive from 2 to 6 inches with localized areas in the Bighorn mountains getting to 8 inches by Saturday morning. While some Advisory level snow may be possible across portions of the Big Horn Basin and even over the Bighorn mountains, will just SPS for the moment and let the day crew take another look to see if continuity is present and a highlight is warranted. Wind should not be an issue with this event. Saturday morning through Saturday night, a broad, still digging, negatively tilted trof will cover most of the western CONUS with the jet still well to the south. Forcing and instability will be even more limited with modest, but decreasing, moisture headed into the western FA. This will keep the region west of the Divide...particularly southwest WY...under chance of light precip. Nothing too spectacular here. .LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY Synopsis...A large trough will move onto the west coast on Sunday and across the the Rockies Monday and Tuesday. Snow showers will increase across the west and south Sunday and Sunday night, and spread into central Wyoming on Monday. Snow will taper off from west to east on Tuesday and Tuesday night. High pressure will build in Wednesday and Thursday with dry and cool conditions prevailing. Discussion...Synoptic pattern on Sunday morning to feature upper low upper ridge over the Rockies flanked by upper lows over the southeast U.S. and along the northwest coast. 19/00z ECMWF and GFS runs in good overall agreement with progression of longwave trough across the western U.S. into the plains Monday and Tuesday, with upper low lifting out of the central Rockies across Kansas/Nebraska Monday night and Tuesday. Within this longwave trough lie the differences, with ECMWF having an overall further southward placement of individual features and precipitation than GFS as upper trough moves across the Continental Divide. So far, the southward solutions have been verifying better in this split flow regime. Thus, expectations are that more significant snow amounts and impacts will stay to our south Sunday and Monday. Surface lee cyclogenesis is forecast over eastern Colorado on Monday with low level northerly flow developing east of the Divide through Tuesday, favoring the Casper area, north facing slopes, with possible moderate snow amounts. GFS is more progressive than ECMWF folding upper ridge into the northern Rockies Wednesday and Thursday. Forecast maintains some low PoPs in the mountains due to the uncertainty, but upper ridge will eventually prevail over the western U.S. by the latter part of the week with dry weather expected into the last weekend in January. .AVIATION.../18Z ISSUANCE/ WEST OF THE DIVIDE...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS ROUTES Light snow and associated MVFR to IFR ceilings and visibilities reduced in snow and fog are expected to overspread the far west spreading into the Upper Green River Basin and Sweetwater County during the afternoon and early evening. The KJAC terminal should be most impacted by this system with a prolonged period of IFR conditions expected. Farther southeast confidence decreases, but will still prevail MVFR occasional IFR conditions at area terminals beginning in the late afternoon or early evening. Mountains will already obscured and remain obscured through the taf period. Winds are expected to be mainly light in most areas. EAST OF THE DIVIDE...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL ROUTES Through the afternoon, the main concern will be strong/very strong west/southwest wind in the wind corridor across SE Fremont and Natrona County, on the lee side of mountain ranges, Cody Foothills and Dubois area. Some westerly low-level wind shear will also be present in the foothills. This will impact KCOD terminal. Winds will be mainly light in the interior basins/valleys. Besides the wind, VFR conditions with increasing mid-high level cloudiness are expected today. Tonight, a low pressure trough pushing across the region will result in areas of MVFR to IFR ceilings and visibilities reduced in snow and fog light snow breaking out especially over northern and central Wyoming. all terminals expected ot br impacted tonight and Friday morning, Mountains are expected to become obscured this evening and remain so through 18z. .FIRE WEATHER...

On the move: Poundland makes strategic move with Higginson appointment
By Michelle Russell | 13 July 2012
Higginson was finance and strategy director for Tesco from 1997 until 2008
Poundland's appointment of former Tesco finance director Andrew Higginson as its chairman is being seen as a major coup for the UK value retailer.
Higginson was finance and strategy director for Tesco from 1997 until 2008, before taking on a role of head of retailing services at the country's largest retailer and his new role at Poundland raised eyebrows in the industry this week.
"He's worked for Unilever and Burtons at senior level so he brings an awful lot of corporate experience at the highest level, be it private or public," Shore Capital analyst Clive Black told just-food today (13 July). "But don't forget he was also in charge of retailing services and strategy at Tesco, so in terms of understanding the broader spectrum of factors that go into conditioning and driving a business, he's expertly positioned."
Conlumino analyst Neil Saunders echoed this sentiment, adding that the appointment could be seen as "a professionalisation of the company".
"Poundland has seen very rapid growth and it's a very ambitious company," Saunders told just-food. "I think when you reach a certain size and you start reaching a level of seriousness, you have to have a professional structure in place and the appointment of someone like Higginson represents that step.
"He's a big hitter, very experienced and he brings a level of professionalism and insight to the team and that allows them then to expand but also it allows them to do other things, float if they wish, because it's seen as having a very credible team with some blue chip experience."
Higginson is seen as a highly respected City figure with significant contacts and was part of Sir Terry Leahy's team which turned around the fortunes of Tesco, increasing profits from GBP1bn (US$1.6m) to GBP3bn.
No wonder then that speculation surrounding the appointment has pointed to a possible stock market listing for Poundland.
The retailer has been on a tremendous growth spurt of late. Earlier this month the group booked a 26.5% increase in full-year profits as value-conscious shoppers continued to visit its stores.
Tim McConnell, retail operations director for Poundland, told just-food the business has benefited from the tightening of the UK economy and it will consider expansion beyond its current markets.
Black, however, said he was not so sure an IPO would necessarily result from the appointment.
"Where Poundland is at the moment...it's in a reasonably rapid state of growth that it wants to focus on. There will be a change in or a confirmation of the ownership structure in Poundland in the future, but that might mean they keep the present owners, they trade sell it or they IPO it. But IPO is just one option for the future. I don't see it at the forefront of Poundland's mind or its owners mind at the minute."
Poundland may, however, be looking to use Higginson's expertise in order to stay ahead in what has become an increasingly competitive 'round price-point' market.
The UK retail market has seen a rise in the number of single-price retailers, prompting major supermarkets to revisit their offers in order to compete.
Nonetheless, Black believes Poundland has what it takes to maintain its position.
"In terms of the supermarkets, GBP1 offers are relatively peripheral in terms of the overall proposition and for Poundland it's part of what they do. The market is competitive, there are some especially able players in the high street value retail segment. The opportunity is still greater than the competitive constraints of Poundland on that front."
What the analysts say: Tesco's turnaround plan bearing early fruit?
UK retailer Tesco booked better-than-expected UK sales over the key Christmas trading period as the group benefited from the various initiatives under its domestic turnaround plan. The group has inves...
What the analysts says: Sainsbury's at head of retail pack
Sainsbury's today (9 January) reported that third-quarter like-for-like sales, excluding fuel, came in at 0.9%. While this represents a slow-down from the company's previous 31 consecutive quarters of...

In case you missed it, the Boy Scouts of America postponed any change in policy about gay membership while religious groups that comprise the majority of the Scoutsâ chartered organizations duke it out.
David Mason, a professor at Rhodes College, says the BSAâs delay has less to do with the ethical matter of abandoning an outdated policy than with the legitimate fear that the organization will come apart at the seams.
To Protestant Reformers, it was the papacy. For American colonists, it was King George III. Cold War Christians suspected the Soviet Union. Now, as Daniel Burke shows, a growing group of American evangelicals say the Antichrist will be Muslim.

Low-Cost Ways to Market Your Business
(Family Features) Just like any good sports team, every business needs a good coach. Marketing consultant John Jantsch, bestselling author of "Duct Tape Marketing" and "The Referral Engine," has some low-cost ideas that will help you create a strong message and communicate it to the right people.
- Keep Score – If you want to determine who your ideal client is, go through your entire client list and rank your clients by profitability. Then look at your most profitable clients and identify those that are already referring business to you. Figure out the common characteristics in this group and you've got a pretty good picture of your ideal client.
- Find Your Zone – Once you've identified who you're marketing to, you need to fine tune your message. Ask how you're really different from your competitors, Jantsch advises. The best way to find out is to ask your customers. Get with five to eight ideal customers and ask them to tell you one thing they love about your business. Listen closely to words they use. There's a good chance the words your clients uses to describe what you do that's unique should be part of your value proposition – no matter how simple they may sound to you.
- Be a Coach Yourself – Instead of advertising your products and services, promote valuable content that tells your prospects how to do or get something you know they want more of. This can be an ebook or video, but make sure you're creating awareness for educational content and you'll have the chance to build the trust required to start a sales conversation.
You can use print collateral materials to help you promote that content and your services. Straightforward language and well-designed materials can help set your business apart from the others.
- Know Your Fans – A lot of small business owners want to know how to make social media pay off. Jantsch recommends that you go through your client list and append every record with the Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn profiles for each. You can do this by hand or use a service like RapLeaf. Now every time you make a client call you'll know a great deal more about what's going on in their world.
- Grow Your Local Team – Small business owners have to wear a lot of hats. But doing too many things can take the focus off of the main reason you got into business in the first place. Take advantage of local resources, like The UPS Store, to take things off your to-do list. For example, they can handle the logistics of printing and delivering direct-marketing mailings through the Every Door Direct Mail™ Retail initiative with the U.S. Postal Service to every address in a neighborhood. Things like that free you up to do what you do best.

Robert Pyles: Minister and restaurant owner details journey from Alabama to hamburgers
(Editor's Note): This week, the Community Journal kicks-off an ongoing, biweekly series profiling successful African Americans in our community. The series will be written by Michael Brox, an educator in the Milwaukee Public Schools and the founder of the first Afro Fest (now African World Festival).
This series attempts to counter the negative news we're flooded with by the local mainstream news media by detailing the positive aspects and influences of Black people who give back to their community in various ways, whether it be volunteer service or owning businesses employing members of our community. Either way, the individuals we will profile are dedicated to bettering the lives of others who are less fortunate and only need an opportunity to succeed.
This week, we profile Robert Robert Pyles, a mininster who pastors at Abundant Faith of Integrity, and is the owner (along with his wife Betty) of 12 McDonald's restaurants in the Milwaukee and Menomonee Falls areas. orn Bernard Ridley in 1964, Robert Pyles started his humble beginnings in Hobson City, Alabama. His mother, Magnolia P. Ridley, worked hard to support the family by taking on domestic jobs.
His father, Robert A. Pyles, a career military man, joined the U.S. Army in 1964. He later retired in 1976 and returned to Hobson City.
Robert (Bernard) was raised with his two brothers and six sisters in a three bedroom project. Robert, who learned the value of hard work at an early age, always wanted to help provide for his family, and at the age of seven he worked after school every day and every summer until he was 13 years old.
At age 14, Robert attended Oxford High School in Oxford, Alabama. Oxford High was a segregated high school with a 20% African American student population . Interestingly, the town where he lived was 100% African American.
Upon graduating high school in December of 1982, Robert went into the U.S. Air Force as a security police officer. While serving as a raw recruit in Grand Forks, North Dakota, Pyles was exposed to things in the military he had never experienced growing up in Alabama. Among those new experiences was snow, sub zero temperatures and whiteouts. His first roommate in the military was a Native American.
His roommate had never seen an African American until he enlisted in the military. Robert and his roommate began to realize their own social barriers. Through this time, beyond his own beliefs, Robert realized there was a much bigger world.
From Grand Forks, Robert's military career took him to Texas where he continued his advanced training for his overseas duties at an American Air Force base in Kunsun, South Korea. While stationed in Korea, two very significant things occurred in his life. One, he met his future wife Betty. Their friendship continued at their next duty station in Cheyenne, WY. Robert and Betty's lengthy friendship transitioned to courtship, and in 1986 they were married. Together, they have three lovely children; Anthony, Ebony, and Katrina Pyles, and five grandchildren. In addition, his retired father was stationed in Korea at the same time working with the U.S. Department of Defense. There they bonded, prompting Robert's father to ask him to change his last name from Ridley to Pyles.
Upon his return from South Korea, Pyles continued helping his mother with his younger siblings. Mounting debts forced Robert to take on a part time job.
Little did Pyles know the career path he was taking. He began working at Long John Silver seafood restaurant. He was later hired as a crew person at the local McDonalds.
Not knowing his deepest call and purpose, he loved serving others and was quickly promoted to part-time swing manager working the afternoon and weekends.
During this time, Robert was balancing his career and family but was rapidly being promoted in the military.
As a Master Sergeant, he approached the owner to see if he could have a leave of absence from McDonald's to receive additional training and schooling to continue his military career. That is when the owner, Jack Priess, suggested Robert consider becoming a McDonald's owner. Jack, a white owner, saw something in Robert that was special. He took Robert to Denver, Colorado to meet African American owners/operators.
After meeting other owners and operators, Robert decided he wanted to become an owner/operator. He was later interviewed by the Franchising Manager for McDonald's corporation and was accepted into the program to become an owner/operator.
In 1998 the Pyles family relocated to Milwaukee where they planned to raise their three children. Little did they know the profound impact their move to Milwaukee would have on the soon to become Pastor Robert and Lady Betty Pyles.
In February of 1998, Robert and Betty bought their first McDonald's restaurant on 76th and Mill Road. When Robert and Betty moved to Milwaukee, they thought they were relocating to sell burgers; however, it was much more than that.
They have taught their employees how to dress, how to purchase cars, how to work with the public, how to change their mindsets, and become homeowners. Robert and Betty view their restaurants as ministry opportunities not only to their employees, but to their customers as well. Robert and Betty Pyles are currently the owners of 12 McDonald's franchises. Eleven restaurants are located in the Milwaukee area, and one in Menomonee Falls. Overall, they employ roughly 700 people.
In addition to Robert's many accomplishments, he is the first African American President of the Milwaukee co-op.
Pastor Pyles received his religious education under Bishop Milton Gannison. Pastor Pyles also acknowledges Pastor Walter Harvey, the pastor of Parklawn Assembly of God, as his trusted mentor, and Pastor Leroy Jackson as his spiritual father.
Pastor Pyles puts Christ first and center in everything he does. However, Pastor Pyles understands that in order to keep his ministries relevant to the community he must minister to the physical as well as the spiritual needs of others through the various services he offers such as The Life Course, The Men's Fraternity, and additional ministries. Pastor Robert and Lady Betty Pyles have initiated new ways to improve the community by giving people hope through helping them to move from poverty to prosperity. This is what Pastor Pyles refers to as his "Up and Out" philosophy. Asked what three immediate goals he hopes to accomplish in the near future, Pastor Robert Pyleslisted three goals: "1) To acquire a Doctorate Degree in Theology, 2) To become debt free within the next five to seven years, and 3) Develop his "Up and Out" Ministry (help individuals move from hourly wages to 'salaried careers')."
In conclusion, I would like to say that it is people like the Pyles' who have been blessed, and unselfishly give back to the community, provide hope and encouragement in our daily lives. This is their story, what is yours?

Africa Innovation Prize to Reward Aspiring Entrepreneurs
(All Africa)
Nairobi — "Innovation" – promoted as a way to find solutions to social and economic challenges – has joined "entrepreneurship" as a focus of philanthropies, governments and businesses.
One of the organizations championing innovative approaches to Africa's problems is the African Innovation Foundation launched by private equity investors, entrepreneurs, scholars and diplomats. Ambassador Walter Fust, a former director general of the Swiss Agency for Development Cooperation, chairs its board of directors.
The foundation is inviting entries for its second annual Innovation Prize for Africa in partnership with the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa. Prizes totaling U.S. $150,000 will be awarded for ideas that promise sustainable economic development and encourage an interest in science, technology and engineering among young African men and women.
African Innovation Foundation co-founder Jean-Claude Bastos de Morais, a Swiss entrepreneur and equity investor with strong African ties, talked to AllAfrica's Lauren Everitt about the prize and its purpose. They sat down together in Nairobi and followed up the conversation by email.
You have an extensive background in business and investing. How did you decide to get involved in sustainable economic development in Africa?
When I am in Africa, I see many opportunities and get a clear view of what can be done to address challenges the continent faces. Also, my father who is Angolan, played a big role, because he encouraged me to return to the continent and apply the lessons I've learned to fuel economic and social development.
After spending time in Angola – where I now reside at least 40 per cent of my time – and across Africa, I'm impressed by record growth rates and unrealized potential. I am convinced, now more than ever, that the best way to build Africa's capacity is to invest in local innovation and entrepreneurship.
You're a dual citizen of Angola and Switzerland. How does that shape your outlook toward aid and assistance?
Because of my deep personal connections and the fact that I am a business man, I know that aid is needed in some situations, such as emergencies. However, I believe it is by fostering the spirit of entrepreneurship and business that one can achieve a lasting impact and improve the quality of lives of many Africans.
There are so many untapped talents on the continent. We need to take advantage of African human capital if we want to achieve sustainable development. We need African led-solutions, where Africans are the ones driving the agenda of what the continent needs.
Would you classify the Innovation Prize for Africa (IPA) as aid?
IPA is focused on market-driven, social-impact investing. It incorporates lessons learned from aid experts and the insights of private equity investors, seed funders, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs.
We are looking for ideas that move Africa forward and know that a multi-sector approach is necessary to speed up African growth. We are collaborating across sectors – and are encouraged that after learning about IPA, African ministers attending the 5th joint annual meeting of the African Union and United Nations Economic Commission for Africa passed a resolution to promote an innovation society for Africa's social and economic transformation.
How many entries do you expect this year?
In its first year [last year], IPA received more than 450 applications from 38 African countries. We hope to expand this number as people spread the word about applying online.
The contest prioritizes a number of areas: agriculture and agribusiness; environment; energy and water; health and wellbeing; ICTs; manufacturing and service industries. Why those?
Based on the feedback received from previous applicants and other IPA stakeholders, we identified these areas because we see them as key growth sectors across the continent, as they present many needs and opportunities. We encourage potential applicants to get in touch if they can classify their innovation in any of the priority areas.
What do you hope to achieve through this competition over the long term?
We hope it will inspire African innovators and encourage leaders from all sectors to invest in innovation by Africans for Africans. Since the prize recognizes innovative breakthroughs that unlock new African potential, we also want to send a message that "Yes!" – Africans are capable of finding solutions to their problems.
The IPA website says that innovators and entrepreneurs are not highly profiled on the development agenda.
Conversations often happen in distinct sectors – we are focused on building a common dialogue and a more successful approach to fueling African innovation. Our goal is also to change the narrative on how Africa is discussed, when it comes to the best ways to move forward.
Are investors truly interested in Africa?
Yes. Investors are quickly realizing Africa's incredible investment potential, in part, because of the impressive economic growth rates. The World Bank reported that excluding South Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa's regional growth rate in 2011 was 5.9 per cent. This beats rates in many Western regions. Investors have also realized the potential of Africa's youth – both as a market and a workforce. Beyond minerals, oil or other wealth, Africa's greatest resource is its human capital and ingenuity. The IPA encourages even more investors to realize the proven economic potential of the continent.
In 2012, the prize's first year, the winner designed a multi-broadband base station antenna. Where is the product now? Has it caught the eye of investors?
The IPA's inaugural winner, Professor Mohammed Sanad, received $100,000 for creating an in-phone and light-weight external antennae that leapfrogs current solutions to provide better mobile access, improved productivity and the potential for technology to change lives. He recently met with global investors and received positive feedback.
We know there are countless game-changing innovations like Professor Sanad's across the continent and hope to identify them to ensure Africa's development continues to be led by African innovation.
Hartland Community Benefits From Made In USA Over Made In China
by local business owner Matt Steiner
Hartland, Wisconsin: Millions of U.S. jobs have been lost due to American businesses seeking lower cost alternatives to manufacture their goods in other countries. I understand the importance of allowing free trade, but this has gone way too far. Our economy has suffered greatly from it. As a businessman in the Milwaukee Market, I want to do all I can to help, and that starts with pursuing 'buy American'.
I own a Gutterglove Dealership where I install American made gutter covers for your home so you never have to clean your gutters again. I could be selling other similar gutter covers, but they are made in China. Buying American fosters independence and would help other countries to look internally rather than being dependent on us.
The message I'm trying to send here is for building contractors to be more selective in their construction material purchases. They should buy American made components where all possible. Wisconsin homeowners and U.S. manufacturers will appreciate it, and our overall economy will benefit from it, I guarantee it.
I've noticed that homeowners respond in a very positive way when I tell them I only use American made gutter covers. When more people are buying American, more jobs will be created, our economy will be stimulated and more taxes paid to our government. Some people argue that American made products are more expensive, but they are missing the big picture because the money is staying here and not going to another country.
Gutterglove is designed to keep leaves and pine needles out of your roof gutters. With every 1,000 feet I install locally, it keeps a U.S. manufacture worker employed for one month and infuses $2,500 back into the American economy. The Gutterglove company sells millions of feet a year. That's a great feeling to have. I'm hoping statistics like these will encourage homeowners to make sure that any home improvements they get done, they will require the contractor to supply American made components.
If you are a contractor, you can even look for U.S. made tools for doing your installations.
It has never been a surprise to me, the number of people who ask where Gutterglove is made. I can hold my head up high and tell them it's manufactured right here in the United States of America!
Then there is the moral issue that other countries illegally use child labor to make U.S. products. It is hard for me to close my eyes to this. America has laws in place to protect our youth from such misuse. Buying American assures me this isn't happening with Made in USA products.
Along with the installation of gutter guards, I offer several other services such as new gutter installations, gutter repairs, gutter cleaning and roof deicing heat panel installations. You can reach me through my website at www.GuttergloveLakeCountryWI.com.
Thinking Ahead Eases Family Business Transition
Start now to ensure your family receives maximum benefit from your hard work
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Rising commodity prices and the boost in demand for grains and soybeans have been a boon for farmers in recent years. They've also sent land prices soaring. Farmers in the Midwest find the average price for farmland is around $2,400 per acre, and sometimes the highest producing land goes as high as $9,000 per acre.
Prices like these impact not only short-term purchases and tax values, but also the longer-term succession strategy of the family farm. A little extra planning can yield a better result and help ensure your heirs are not overburdened with steep estate taxes, income taxes, gift taxes, etc. that can take a toll on your business assets and leave your heirs strapped for cash.
The most important step in the succession of your business is to start now. Developing a strategy does not mean giving up control – it means you're taking control of your future. Working with a team that may include your accountant, attorney, banker, financial advisor and your Farm Bureau agent, you can assess your business today and define your goals for your exit strategy. You can begin thinking through these items using the business transition assessment questionnaire.
Once you've established broad goals for yourself and your business, your succession strategy team will help you understand your options. "The transition of the family farm is often a sensitive topic. Each operation has its own dynamic and requires a unique succession strategy," says Jim McCarthy Advanced Markets Vice President at Farm Bureau Financial Services. "Sorting through these issues is a major step toward avoiding the personal conflicts and family feuds that can arise during the settlement of a farm estate. We helped clients Miles and Joyce work hard to keep everyone involved during their transition of land that has been in the family since 1878." Watch their story here.
The most successful family business transition strategies create advantages for everyone. Parents are reassured the business will remain in the family and goodwill among the children will also be preserved. Active business heirs are provided enhanced opportunities to explore funding options for a buyout of non-active heirs. And non-business heirs know that their inheritance is not dependent on the business heir's work with the business.
"Once you establish your family farm transition strategy, don't forget to revisit it and make updates as needed," says McCarthy. "Rising land prices have rendered many old strategies ineffective. An annual discussion with your business transition team can help you rest easy knowing your strategy is in order." For more information, visit www.small-business-transition.com.

50 Cent Starts Boxing Promotion Business
Fif's latest business venture is that of boxing promotions, with his company TMT.
50 Cent is getting into boxing promotion. The rap mogul just started a boxing promoting company, TMT, standing for The Money Team.
He's licensed TMT in New York and he's in the process of applying for a license in Nevada, reports say.
Sources say that TMT Promotions is looking to sign former featherweight title holder Yuri Gamboa and super middleweight contender Andre Dirrell, as well as continue to work with Fif's longtime friend Floyd Mayweather.
Waking the World Up to Business in Africa
While Africa is on the move, most of the world slumbers. Why do I say this? In Charlotte, North Carolina, a "new" market for promoting business in Africa, I had the great opportunity to speak about the business potential in Africa on a local radio talk show with Vince Coakley. But I was shocked that the majority of people, who called in, were harsh in their perspectives on Africa, particularly South Africa. This woke me up to how much the world still needed to be awakened to business in the New Africa.
The callers saw no hope or light. They were mostly truthful about what they had to say about crime, corruption, and security in what they understood. They weren't vicious, but you could tell they actually believed or felt what they were saying.
I reminded the audience that US history wasn't so great for human rights and politics in the 1800s. We had one of the bloodiest civil wars in history almost a hundred years into our history. And even though we are supposed to be a beacon for human rights today, we have a lot of problems here in the US.
African democracies are at most 60 years old and places like DR Congo less than ten years. Countries in this stage of development will not have the institutional strength, or strong rule of law in general, as mature democracies yet they grow fast and provide opportunities unmatched elsewhere.
The final point I made was that every country has its problems, but also has opportunities. It's important to find what works for you in business and be open to possibilities.
This experience re-affirms my opening statement. There is a New Africa, but most of the world is unaware and little is being done to wake them up to the full reality of the Africa of today and of the future.
You probably think that this article is about the callers and people like them, but it's not. It's about the millions of people who know something about the New Africa, but remain silent, passive, or accepting of what is said and propagated. Everyone should have a right to speak and to his or her opinion, but those opinions do not have to go unchallenged or probed.
We who know should be sharing about the things in Africa that do work and how it is progressing. While admitting that Africa has the highest rate of poverty and HIV/AIDs in the world, we should be pointing out that the rate of poverty has slowed and the number of new HIV/AIDS cases is slowing compared to the growth of the continent's population.
In business, we should be sharing about the low debt levels in many of the countries compared to the West and how investment risk in the West is rising. Also, we should be sharing about the impact African innovation is having on the mobile sector around the world. While this is "old" news to many of us, it is "new" news to most of the world.
It is not about create platforms to change the perception of Africa, even though more are needed. It is about individuals and organizations embedding Africa into normal, everyday, mainstream conversation. If people are talking about interesting news, share a comparative or insightful perspective on what is happening in Africa.
If you are focusing on business and investment in Africa, here are a few tips I gave on "pitching" Africa when I spoke last year at the launch of one of our books at the World Bank:
- Let Africa sell itself.
- Watch the terms you use, e.g., wealth creation versus poverty reduction.
- Be authentic – share realities, successes, and potential.
- Place Africa in context of what is happening in other global regions.
- Focus on Africa as an upcoming, emerging region, which already has close to 20 emerging economies.
- Don't sell Africa at the exclusion of other global regions, but as part of a global strategy – one of several regions a global business strategy should touch.
- Explain how Africa can be used to expand markets and extend globally.
- Show people who have a passion to make a difference in Africa how they can achieve this by supporting for-profit ventures, or market-based social enterprises, which are more sustainable.
We also need to broaden our engagement. We need to move beyond circles that are familiar with Africa and get into mainstream business and social groups and share about the continent. Go and plant seeds where conversation about Africa in terms of business and investment would be new.
Finally, I do have some good news to share about the close of the recent radio interview. Several callers actually shared positive perspectives.
One caller shared his experience about being in Cote d'Ivoire. He found the people to warm, welcoming, and hard-working. He said Cote d'Ivoirien pineapples were much better than Hawaiian, and if he had the money he would invest there.
This caller represents to me an untapped, deep spring of people that I know exists. We just need to reach them.
And concerning the rest of the world, it's not up to the world to change its perception of Africa. It's up to us to create a new perception of Africa.

What are YOU doing here?. Your appointment is not until next week.
MOL, Sally! That sounds like something my mom would do. Hee, hee.
And yes, how could they say that you stink! Humph! They must not appreciate the smell of roses. *giggles*
~hugs & love~
No way that you could be stinky. You are way too pretty to be stinky!!!

I hope you didn't miss your breakfast cause you were going to the vet!
Stink! That sounds like something my rotten sister, Bitsy, would say. Pay it no mind. They are just jealous of us!

COMPLETELY on the wrong day coz ewe noe, next week it's back in the carrier, back ta de V.E.T. and this time you'll hafta stay and THEY won't let ewe chillax in a recliner while ewe be at de V.E.T. and there ewe have it :) peace out N rock on !
Sorry guys for not xplaining this right. I didn't go to the vet. MY teeth are purrfect after I had them cleaned 2 weeks ago. Now it's Mom's turn to go to the dentist. She thought it was yesterday but it's not 'til next Tuesday. I'm looking forward to her going. After all, she made me go, so it's only fair that she has the same experience. I hope that she uses the same dentist that I had to go to. Because they keep you there all day, give you nothing to eat! And when you take a nap, you wake up later and they did a bunch of stuff to you and you didn't even know it. Anyway, next Tuesday is payback time. Mom is going to the dentist, NOT ME.
Dear Trout Towne Tabbies: I think I should have my own chair. I am trying all the dining room chais to see which is most comfurrtable and then I'll tell Mom which one I decided to claim as mine.

Winter bash hats
Last year, I collected 12 hats in StackOverflow's Winter Bash. This year, I have 15 hats:

Ik dacht: "Zie je wel! Mijn slecht gevoel over die persoon zou wel eens correct kunnen zijn, want hij heeft precies iets te verbergen!"
Ik heb altijd al bedenkingen gehad bij "het recht om vergeten te worden". Naar mijn mening werkt het averechts als Google je informeert dat "Some results may have been removed." Het geeft geen goede indruk. Wat heb je te verbergen? denk ik dan.

United Spinal Association and advocates from its membership division, National Spinal Cord Injury Association (NSCIA), will gather in Washington, D.C. on June 22-25 for Roll on Capitol Hill to shape policies that impact the health, independence and quality of life of people living with spinal cord injuries and disorders (SCI/D).
Roll on Capitol Hill (ROCH) is United Spinal's signature policy event which highlights key advocacy priorities for its membership and the broader disability community to ensure that legislators include wheelchair users and all people with disabilities in policy debates on Capitol Hill.
"Roll on Capitol Hill presents a unique forum for our members and chapter leaders to constructively address disability issues that are impacting their lives, for good or bad, face-to-face with their representatives," said Joe Gaskins, United Spinal president & CEO.
"This event empowers people with disabilities to become stronger self-advocates," he added.
ROCH attendees will have the opportunity to visit the Capitol Hill offices of their representatives and other key legislators to personally discuss legislative issues about the need for better access to health care, social security benefits, disability rights, employment opportunities as well as accessible transportation.
Issues include:
On June 23, ROCH attendees will participate in a full day of policy briefings from advocates, agency officials and former Capitol Hill staffers. The day begins with Keynote Speaker Claudia Gordon, Special Assistant, Department of Labor Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs recently with the White House Office of Public Engagement.
On the evening of June 24, United Spinal will host a Congressional Awards Reception to recognize members of Congress for their outstanding service to people with disabilities and veterans, including:
The following House and Senate legislators are recognized as ROCH Congressional Co-chairs for their sponsorship and leadership of the Ensuring Access to Quality Complex Rehabilitation Technology Act, HR 942/S.948, which improves access under Medicare for customized wheelchairs for individuals with significant disabilities.
They include: Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS); Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY); Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI 5th); and Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY 14th).
United Spinal will also honor several advocates who have been instrumental in policy successes throughout the year.
Finn Bullers, will receive the 2014 Advocate of the Year Award for his years of effective advocacy on behalf of people with disabilities, not only in his own state of Kansas, but across the country.

"The card was easy to edit to add my own words, it's great that you can change font and size of text. Overall a fantastic looking invite at a great price. Super quick delivery too."
"I order all my invitations from tiny prints and have always been satisfied and this time was no different! Fast delivery and a beautiful product as always. I especially like the back detail on this invitation, it makes it extra special :)"
"We received so many compliments on this invitation. It was for our son's Holy Communion. Everyone loved the front and back design of the card."
"This is a beautifully elegant baptism invitation! It turned out so pretty and I included a picture of my daughter on the back which gave it a personal touch. The paper quality is exceptional. I loved how you can see the paper grains on it. The wording and the font were just perfect!"
"I am very impressed with the product, price, customer service and delivery time. The invitations arrived standard shipping in 2 days! Amazing! Classy invitation on nice weight card stock. I kept the color and font as shown. I was able to change text in the text box easily. The blue background and white border have an aged quality because the ink is not solid...more like it was painted in watercolor. Very Book of Kells feeling to me which is a subtle and nice touch. The Celtic cross and knotwork are beautiful. The blue background is a light blue. The digital image doesn't translate the actual color well. Still lovely. Darling little hearts on cross and corners of the invitation. I am proud to send these out to my family and friends for my son's 1st Holy Communion. Exceeded my expectations! Thank you so much! Great job Tiny Prints!"

Frances Velling received her art training from age 8 through college degrees at Washburn University, Evergreen State College, then independent studies with Sal Moccia of New York. A long list of show awards in many juried exhibitions has honored Velling's career as a professional artist. Her art has been featured on brochures, publications, programs, exhibitions, and in galleries. She also enjoys jurying art shows.
Velling states, "Art is about enriching other people's lives and my customers happiness is the reward for what I do. I create art to engage my intuition and imagination. There is nothing like the feeling of knowing other people are enjoying my art as collectors. Color is the language that speaks to everyone and that is what makes a painting step off the walls into the heart of the viewer. Through my art, I express my affinity for vibrant color using expressive strokes to render a sense of movement and texture giving the painting a life of its own".
Velling is passionate about painting the subjects of music, figurative, and florals where she expresses her affinity for colors using palette knives to apply thick impasto strokes of acrylic paints. In her paintings, she chooses to share her love of music because research shows it affects every part of the human brain, sense of vision, hearing, heart, emotional responses, thoughts, and memories beginning at the age of 6 months. There is always music playing in her studio. Velling also brings with her a passion for creating interest and harmony in her paintings. It is not enough to know the intensity of the chroma or value to render an image. The effort comes from making her emotions connect with those who view her art.
"I've seen adults weep in front of my paintings and believe they are so deeply affected because they are connecting with an emotional experience in their lives and with me. If you love your job, you never work a day in your life. Standing in front of an easel all day is not a bad way to spend your life and the work of art remains fresh, beautiful, and engaging for a lifetime."

In 362 days, I will be 50 years old. That means I am already three days into my 50th year of life. In other words, Friday was my 49th birthday.
For years, I blamed it on those richly royal blue suede high heel pumps. The ones with the ridiculously tall, spiked heel and absurdly pointed toe. I was 22 when I bought them, 36 when I donated them to the Salvation Army.
What I am told is the biggest annual event in Kershaw County is tomorrow, and I get to experience it for the first time. The 82nd Carolina Cup is here, and as the newest member of the Chronicle-Independent staff, I get the honor of attending and documenting the event.
To say these past few months have been cold is an understatement and while my northern roots have relished getting my wool sweaters out of the cedar chest, our trees and other plants have not had the ability to bundle up for warmth. No matter how you slice it, our woody friends have been exposed to dramatically cold temperatures this winter and even though spring is officially here, we have yet to see how Mother Nature's wintery touch has affected (or may still affect) all things green.
WASHINGTON -- When it comes to tackling complicated legal issues, one would be hard-pressed to conjure a less likely partnership than Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz and Baylor University President Ken Starr.
We read about people who make hundreds of millions of dollars a year, but for most of us, it's difficult to even imagine such wealth.
When I listened to the news yesterday, I heard that a school resource officer (and part-time policeman) was in trouble for a problem concerning a basketball and lack of respect from a student. While I do now know what happened -- just that, according to the news, the gentlemen shoved a 14-year-old male. I also had a problem concerning these two, except my male student was older. I did not receive coverage in the newspaper or the television. Here is what happened.
WASHINGTON -- This week's meeting between Pope Francis and President Obama holds great promise in a time of turmoil, though not necessarily in the ways some may hope.
In this changing world, I occasionally find myself looking for the things that last. What I mean is, basically everything from the way we do business to entertainment to communication has been revolutionized over the past 20 to 30 years with the advent of computers and the Internet. Computers are awesome, but there are times you just need a person rather than a machine to help you out.
We hear lots of talk, especially around election time, about improving schools in South Carolina. What we don't hear much about is what a truly world class school would look like, or how we would go about creating such a thing.
I was absolutely thrilled Saturday with the C-I's win of the Reid Montgomery FOI award from the S.C. Press Association. It was a real surprise. A good number of papers in this state spend a lot of their time on the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and open government issues. Some of them file FOIA requests right and left. Some papers' stories end up setting legal precedents.
The woman looked over the selection of books, picked up four and smiled. "My husband said to buy whatever I wanted."
When you are researching Robert Mills, South Carolina's first superintendent of public buildings, you inevitably end up trekking off to the South Carolina Department of Archives and History, the repository for South Carolina's historical state documents. We have an "inside track" there. One of our staff members, Sarah Murray, is married to Robert Murray, a long-time state archives employee. As a prelude to some of our research trips there, we ask Robert to scope out our prospects when the on-line database at the state archives does not yield what we are looking for. Sure enough, Robert found that ...
WASHINGTON -- "Once an agent, always an agent."
WASHINGTON -- A recent tweet from @realDonaldTrump: "John Lewis is an American hero. I look forward to working with him in the years to come."
Why is it that even now, as a middle aged adult, I have a difficult time keeping a straight face in church?
WASHINGTON -- Republicans can argue until their last breath that Trump objectors are sore losers, but isn't more at stake than "mere politics"? This phrase ...
When I was in elementary school, I used to love MLK Day. Not for the shallow reason that we had the day off, but for ...
CHARLESTON, S.C. -- If Death lingers in courtroom corridors awaiting sentences, this historic city's federal courthouse was surely a top destination. On Tuesday, the ...
Wow – I thought I lived in South Carolina, not South Dakota.
WASHINGTON -- First, a history refresher: For the past nine years, a smattering of Americans, most recently led by our now president-elect, have insisted that Barack ...

The Secret to Maple and Cayenne Glazed Chicken
Anne shows how a couple pantry ingredients can turn an everyday chicken into golden, restaurant-worthy Maple and Cayenne Glazed Chicken. Sweet Potato, Bacon, and Apple Hash makes a hearty autumn-inspired side, and Anne's Almond and Raisin Biscotti end the meal with a subtly sweet crunch. (Episode: LR0404H)

Japanese volcano erupts - level 1
06-10-2014 15:00
This happens in Japan. A volcano erupts there. People find twelve dead people. There are probably 36 people dead altogether. Sixty-nine people are injured.
One man is hiking when the volcano erupts. He can see a big cloud of smoke. He films this. It happens at 11:45. He and others run away. They find a safe place and they are fine.
Difficult words: volcano (mountain which can sometimes explode), erupt (explode), hike (walk).
You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.
