“If you find yourself staring at your calendar and pondering which over-lapping trade show event you should attend because your company has only one trade show display in inventory-and time/money are an issue-then a one-time rental decision may be a good decision. But if a further look into the year reveals the same situation repeating more than twice, then the same dollars spent on renting a trade show display could approximate the purchase of the same.

There are historical roots linking north and south  Sudan. The Nile River ties the parties  together for better or for worse. Music and food are shared by the two people. Commonalities created a union government for all Sudanese in the north and south. Some say that the commonalities  far outreach constitutional differences  and if these are not respected in future the fault will be laid at the door of politicians, not the people.

Some 1800 journalists, representing some 50 media houses attended

Letter to Dr. King

But maybe now we need a new sequel.

Dare to Pursue Dr. King’s Dream

RODNEY COATES:


Americas’ response to the senseless violence that claimed the lives of 6 and injured another 14 in Arizona once again demonstrates the power of hope over despair, peace over violence, and love over hate.  These tragedies coming on the heels of our celebration of the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. also reminds us of his dream for a better America.  Martin Luther King’s August 28, 1963 speech “I have a Dream” galvanized the hopes and dreams of millions of Americans regardless o
