Obama Drama, State of the Nation

Obama Drama, State of the Nation

Trouble In Paradise: Chicanery in Cote d'Ivoire Presidential Elections

Posted by KWASI Akyeampong on January 25, 2011 at 10:30pm

There are many misconceptions about what actually happened during the attempt at practicing democracy in the great nation of Cote d'Ivoire. The dispute of who was voted to be the next president has caused much misinformation to be written in well known periodicals who take the word of officials who have been given a mandate to assure that the will of the Ivorian people NOT be respected but the needs of western interests be honored.

Alternative Uses for Your Trade Show Display

Posted by Trade Show Displays - Trade Show on January 24, 2011 at 6:49am

While the majority of our clients use their Trade Show Display for trade shows; there are other venues where they can be impactful. In a corporate lobby where your customers and the public frequent, pop up banner stands can convey a powerful message about your company in quick form. Eye-catching, graphic art work says more in short order, than a long sale pitch ever could. If room allows, a modular trade show display with back wall interchangeable graphics, is a good way to post up-to-date infor

Pros and Cons of Trade Show Display Rental

Posted by Trade Show Displays - Trade Show on January 21, 2011 at 7:15am

“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.

Storing a display can be an expensive pros

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.
