If you lived a little and journeyed a while with God, you might have come to realize that God has His own ways that often appear to run counter to ours. Hard times come. Our prayers get answered, but in ways we never anticipated. God goes “off script”, as our guest today would say. In this episode we talk about the idea of having a relationship with a God who not only allows suffering, but journeys with us in that suffering. We don't like it. But learning to embrace all of who God is allows us to live more free and wholeheartedly. What does it look like to doubt well? Can God handle our wrestling? When God doesn't show up "on time" is he still good? This conversation is for any leader who is facing the underbelly of their own faith as they lead others or those who are going through hard times and want a message that brings life, and doesn't leave you more deflated.    Today's guest is Albert Tate, the founding and lead pastor of Fellowship Church in Los Angeles County California. He began his ministry pastoring just a few families at Sweet Home Church in Mississippi before serving the historic multi ethnic and multi-generational Lake Avenue Church in Pasadena, California. As a dynamic communicator, Albert is passionate about sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ both locally and globally. He serves on the Board of Trustees at Azusa Pacific University, the Global Leadership Network, and Global Church Planting Organization, Stadia. Albert is also the Founder and CEO of The Greatest Story, Inc, and President of Harambee Ministries.

He will also explain how to fortify your pipeline and refine your pitch.  These strategies are not only straightforward but also incredibly efficient. Get ready to reap the rewards after using these simple yet powerful methods for transforming your sales approach! Becoming a Strategic Adviser Positioning yourself as a strategic adviser rather than a logistical expert can be a game-changer. Becoming a strategic partner will allow you to demonstrate your power of understanding and address your clients' core business concerns. Personal Accountability for Sales Success Personal accountability plays a pivotal role in increasing sales. During a conference, Eric noticed a surprising need for more commitment among sales professionals toward dedicating just one hour daily for prospecting and client outreach. One hour per day equates to reaching out to approximately 800 people annually. Your calendar reflects your priorities, and by making this small and impactful commitment, you position yourself to expand your network and increase business significantly. It is a straightforward strategy, yet it often gets neglected. Implementing just one hour each day of focused effort will allow you a proactive stance in shaping your success and positively impacting your sales. Two Fundamental Principles Success in sales depends on two fundamental principles: Being a strategic adviser  Maintaining personal accountability  Take Action Now You can begin integrating these simple and effective strategies into your approach immediately. Understanding and addressing your clients' core business needs and committing just one hour daily to outreach are tangible and actionable steps toward enhancing your sales.  Remember, success is within your control, and there is no better time than now to start implementing these strategies and witnessing the positive impact on your business.  If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

Steve Banks is the Founder and President of Banks Sports Ventures., a sports management company which represents and guides the careers of professional athletes. Go to www.thejasoncavnessexperience.com for the full episode and other episodes of The Jason Cavness Experience on your favorite platforms. Steve's Bio Steve Banks is the Founder and President of Banks Sports Ventures., a sports management company which represents and guides the careers of professional athletes. Prior to re-establishing BSV, he served as CEO of ShotTek Inc., a sports technology wearables company and the creators of Peace Shooter, the world's first smart shot trainer (or real-time-feedback shot trainer) for basketball players. As a consultant with ShotTek, “I saw the long-term goal and the vision of Larry Peterson, Founder and President of ShotTek”. Having served in several roles as Steve's professional career has continued to evolve, Eli Lilly was a welcomed break from the hustle and bustle of the sports world. Steve worked for Eli Lilly in the Diabetes Unit facilitating presentations for Endocrinologist's, Primary Care Physicians, and clinic staff, bringing awareness to all of the benefits our diabetic medications provide. In 2015 while working at New York Life his first child was born, in which the decision was made to take a couple of years off after a two-year stint as a Life Insurance Executive. “My time there was an amazing ride, having been recognized as the Top Performer in the African American Unit, 2014 “Rookie of the Year”, and the culmination of it all was receiving the Ben Feldman “Life Excellence Award” which is considered the Heisman Trophy of the life insurance industry.” Before joining New York Life, Steve was a successful sports agent having worked with the likes of Gary Payton, Rodney Stuckey, Kevin Durant, Jamal Crawford, Dwight Howard, DeMar DeRozan, and Isaiah Thomas to name a few. His main reason for wanting to be in the Sports Management industry was he saw a need that was not being met by most agents, and that was a lack of education & empowerment of African American athletes. In representing athletes, it was important for Steve to make an IMPACT off the court.  If you were to speak with any of the athletes that he's worked with, they would tell you that Steve always promoted LEGACY and using your platform to create an eco-system of business minded individuals!!! “Legacy is powerful, and more often than not, it is easily overlooked and as a sports agent, I have an obligation to look out for not only their best-interest, but also their families.” In life, sometimes there is a higher calling, and I was always taught that when called upon, you must be obedient. As a sports agent, it was hard to be in a world where you often need to keep your inner circle small, not knowing who was looking out for you, so I made the decision to walk away. The beauty of this story is that Steve Banks is back where he belongs and will make an IMPACT in the lives of the athletes that have a desire to be great. “Being able to incorporate my values, standards, morals into my work are what truly drives me to lead.” In his free time, Steve serves on the Board of Trustee's for The Bush School. He volunteers with members of his fraternity – Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated. Steve also serves on the board of Baseball Beyond Borders, a non-profit organization that uses baseball as a platform to engage inner-city youth, while developing a passion for education and developing life skills. As a Black man, it is critical that he dedicates time to mentoring and supporting the upcoming generation of young people. Steve received his Bachelor of Science from Eastern Oregon University, where he was a student athlete. He is also a graduate of Georgetown University where he received his Masters of Sports Industry Management. Steve, his wife Maryjane and their two sons live in the Central District area of Seattle.  We talked about the following and other items  The Bush School  Becoming a sports agent Legacy The power of visualization Making an impact Banks Sports Ventures  Steve's Social Media Steve's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bankssports/  Steve's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bankssportsventures/  Steve's Twitter: https://twitter.com/BSportsVentures Steve's Advice I've recently been talking to some people about investments. This is the one thing I will share with entrepreneurs. Don't be so fixated on the product, as you're thinking about if you want to be an entrepreneur, if you want to step out of your comfort zone. The one thing that I've learned is that people often times get fixated on the product. What I've learned traditionally is that people invest in people, right? The product okay, that I get it. But I want to know about you.

The latest polling in Michigan is bad news for Joe Biden … and adding to his woes, word that left-wing third-party candidate Cornell West is targeting Michigan. To make things even worse, he had another birthday! This Thanksgiving weekend also brings bad news for embattled Michigan Republican Party chair Kristina Karamo – her days with that title may be numbered. And Peter Meijer's top campaign opponent in the U.S. Senate race appears to be the Republican Party. Governor Whitmer has set an ambitious timeline for special elections to fill two vacancies in the state House, elections which will likely restore the Democrats' two-seat majority in that chamber. She also signed legislation which could be the Democrats' strongest weapon in the 2024 election: The Reproductive Healthcare Act. A lot of potential candidates are saying “no thanks” to running to succeed retiring Congressman Dan Kildee. And the soap opera that is the Michigan State University Board of Trustees is posing a threat to MSU's national accreditation. Joining the podcast is pollster Bernie Porn of EPIC•MRA public opinion research whose most recent numbers show Biden slipping, Whitmer with continued high numbers, and Elissa Slotkin with a narrow lead in the race to succeed Debbie Stabenow as United States Senator. EPIC•MRA has been measuring voter sentiment in Michigan for more than four decades, and is has the highest rating from the numbers nerds at FiveThirtyEight.com.

Chauvin was found guilty by a state court in April 2021 and sentenced to 22 1/2 years in prison in connection with Floyd’s May 25, 2020, death, which triggered riots across the country and a prolonged debate on race relations in America. The high court did not specify why it declined to take up the appeal and did not indicate whether any justices would have heard the case. Chauvin, 47, is also appealing his conviction and 21-year sentence on separate federal charges in connection with Floyd’s death. Those punishments were not considered by the high court. The ex-cop’s lawyers had argued their client was denied a fair trial due to the publicity surrounding the case and concerns about potential violence if he was acquitted. “Mr. Chauvin’s case shows the profound difficulties trial courts have to ensure a criminal defendant’s right to an impartial jury consistently when extreme cases arise,” Chauvin’s legal team told the Supreme Court. “This was particularly true here when the jurors themselves had a vested interest in finding Mr. Chauvin guilty in order to avoid further rioting in the community in which they lived and the possible threat of physical harm to them or their families.” Approximately nine minutes of harrowing cellphone footage showed Chauvin placing his knee on Floyd’s neck despite pleas from the 46-year-old black man that he couldn’t breathe. Floyd was being arrested for allegedly using a counterfeit $20 bill when Chauvin confronted him. A medical examiner concluded that recent methamphetamine and fentanyl use may have contributed to his death as well. Chauvin’s legal team had argued his case to the Minnesota Court of Appeals, but that court upheld his conviction back in April and declined to give him a new trial. Then in July, the highest court in Minnesota upheld the lower court rulings, which led to the request to the US Supreme Court. The nine-member Supreme Court receives somewhere around 7,000 case requests on average every year and typically only accepts between 90 and 150 of them. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/infrastructure/buttigieg-promises-less-chaos-travelers-2022-season-lurks-memories Buttigieg promises less chaos for travelers as 2022 nightmare season lurks in memories Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said this Thanksgiving travel season is expected to be one of the busiest in U.S. history, but travelers can anticipate fewer flight cancellations than they've seen in recent years. Speaking alongside Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Mike Whitaker at a Monday news conference, Buttigieg said, “We are seeing more people flying than ever with fewer cancellations.” The National Airspace System is reporting the lowest cancellation rates in five years. Flight cancellations are down to 1.3% so far in 2023, compared to 2.3% in 2022, according to preliminary data from the Aviation System Performance Metrics. Airlines have made some improvements from post-pandemic complications that were seen in Southwest’s 2022 holiday travel disaster. Canceled and delayed flights affected an estimated 2 million passengers, and the company lost around $220 million in the final three months of last year. The FAA is investigating multiple domestic airlines for unrealistic scheduling of flights, including Southwest’s December meltdown. “In the Southwest case, there was a huge volume of passengers impacted, which means there's been a huge volume of work for the team to go through,” Buttigieg said. “But I can tell you that it's underway and that we intend to send a continued signal that airlines need to only schedule the flights that they can serve.” “I want to remind the industry that unrealistic scheduling is prohibited under the law,” Buttigieg added. Whitaker said skies will remain extremely busy like last year, adding, "We will be working around the clock to make sure passengers get to their destination safely." In an earlier projection, the Transportation Security Administration said the Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the Sunday after are the busiest travel days. TSA is expecting to screen 2.6 million passengers on Tuesday, 2.7 million passengers on Wednesday, and 2.9 million passengers on Sunday, the busiest travel day. “We expect this holiday season to be our busiest ever. In 2023, we have already seen seven of the top 10 busiest travel days in TSA’s history,” TSA Administrator David Pekoske said in a press release last week. “We are ready for the anticipated volumes and are working closely with our airline and airport partners to make sure we are prepared for this busy holiday travel season." https://redstate.com/mike_miller/2023/11/19/michigan-township-declares-itself-a-second-amendment-sanctuary-promptly-forms-militia-n2166546 Michigan Township Declares Itself a 'Second Amendment Sanctuary,' Promptly Forms Militia As the Biden Border Crisis continues unchecked, Chicago and New York City recently made news with their efforts to push back against the shipping of illegal aliens to their respective "sanctuary cities." The Holton Township Board of Trustees in Michigan's Muskegon County last Tuesday adopted a resolution declaring the township a "Second Amendment Sanctuary" and also adopted an addendum establishing a township militia. Self-explanatory, on the surface: Whereas, the Holton Township Board declares and confirms to express its intent to stand as a Sanctuary Township for Second Amendment rights, and to oppose, within the limits of the Constitution of the United States and the Commonwealth of Michigan, any efforts to unconstitutionally restrict such rights. Holton Township officials made clear to the media that the resolution means the township will not enforce red flag laws restricting firearms or ammunition possession. [Have long been promoted by the left] as a way to prevent gun violence by allowing law enforcement to temporarily seize firearms from individuals deemed to be a danger to themselves or others. While this may sound like a good idea on the surface, there are several compelling reasons not to rely on this approach. First and foremost, red flag laws violate due process and the constitutional rights of gun owners. Under these laws, individuals can have their firearms confiscated based solely on the suspicion of a third party, without being given the opportunity to defend themselves or even be heard in court. This is a clear violation of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, which protect against unreasonable searches and seizures, and guarantee due process of law. Moreover, red flag laws are inherently subjective and can be easily abused. The criteria for determining who is a “dangerous” individual are often vague and open to interpretation, leaving room for personal bias and political agendas to influence the decision-making process. In other words, in the case of the Holton County Township Board: "Not in our township. Not on our watch." The Militia Public Security Act addendum states the township is adopting “policies necessary for the security and rights of Holton Township residents,” including a militia compromised of everyday citizens. Legal residents of the township are eligible to join the militia and may make their intentions known by acknowledging their intent on social media or stating their intent by letter to the Township Militia.

Democratically-governed Taiwan, which China claims as its own territory, has complained for the past four years of regular Chinese military patrols and drills near the island, as Beijing seeks to pressure Taipei over its sovereignty claims. With Chinese President Xi Jinping in San Francisco last week for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, where he met U.S. President Joe Biden, the scale of that military activity around Taiwan had scaled off. But Taiwan's defense ministry reported that starting onSunday morning it had detected nine Chinese aircraft crossing the Taiwan Strait's median line, which had previously served as an unofficial barrier between the two and which Chinese planes now regularly fly over. The aircraft involved included Su-30 and J-10 fighters, as well as early warning and electronic warfare aircraft, the ministry said. The aircraft were accompanying Chinese warships carrying out "joint combat readiness patrols" it added. Taiwan sent its own forces to monitor, the ministry said. China's defense ministry did not answer calls seeking comment. China says its activities near Taiwan are aimed at "collusion" between Taiwan separatists and the United States and to protect China's territorial integrity. Taiwan's government, which has repeatedly offered talks with China, rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims and says only the island's people can decide their future. Taiwan was a major focus of the Biden-Xi talks in San Francisco. Xi told Biden during their four-hour meeting on Wednesday that Taiwan was the biggest, most dangerous issue in U.S.-China ties, according to a senior U.S. official. Taiwan holds presidential and parliamentary elections on Jan. 13, with the island's fraught relations with China an important topic on the campaign trail. Over the past year and a half China has staged two large-scale war games around Taiwan, though China's air force has not flown over the island or into its territorial air space.

The Business of Meetings – Episode 193- Five Steps to Define Your Business Vision with Eric Rozenberg Today, Eric shares a game-changing tool he uses for helping and advising people and coaching business owners. He used the same exercise to help him visualize and map out the future course of his current business. Prepare to be amazed by the incredible results and clarity of direction this process brings you when you put it into practice!  From Shock to a Life-Changing Vision In March 2020, during an annual retreat with his EO group, Eric recalls sitting around a campfire and experiencing the initial shock of sports cancellations due to the onset of COVID-19. Interestingly, the theme of the retreat was envisioning your life in 2030. Eric joined the retreat without any expectations and was pleasantly surprised by the life-changing nature of the process he learned there. Since then, he has often returned to the exercise and reflected on what he wrote during the retreat. A Comprehensive Approach to Shaping the Future of Your Business This exercise is a comprehensive yet straightforward approach to envisioning and shaping the future of your life and business. To make the process more practical, we have broken it down into five manageable steps and aimed it toward 2030: Start by identifying and categorizing the different areas of your life into seven different categories, like health, work, finances, fun, family, and personal development. Once you have defined those areas, rate your current standing within each area in terms of where you are today compared with where you would like to be in 2030, and then set goals for 2030. Create a visual representation, like a chart or graph, to further clarify your goals. Dedicate time to outlining three concrete actions you will take for each area within the next 12 months to propel yourself toward your 2030 goals. It could involve anything from lifestyle changes to professional development initiatives.  Make a list of questions based on how you want your life to be in 2030. Start by thinking about every area of your life, and then list a conclusive series of questions about all of those areas. The questions should cover where you want to live, your relationship aspirations, career achievements, legacy goals, and anything else you hope for. Take all the time you need to answer these questions. Choose a specific day or date in 2030 and describe it as a day in your life. Take all the time you need to vividly depict that day, incorporating all the details you gathered while answering the previous question. This part of the exercise may only take a few hours, or you may need multiple sessions to complete it. By approaching these five steps systematically, you can transform this seemingly overwhelming exercise into a practical and transformative tool for long-term planning. Remember, the key is to let the process unfold gradually. You may need to revisit the process from time to time, to refine your vision.  If you have any questions or need guidance, reach out to Eric. He will provide all the support you need.  If you embark on this journey enthusiastically, you will be astounded by all the remarkable results and newfound clarity it brings into your life and business.

The ex-cop’s lawyers had argued their client was denied a fair trial due to the publicity surrounding the case and concerns about potential violence if he was acquitted. “Mr. Chauvin’s case shows the profound difficulties trial courts have to ensure a criminal defendant’s right to an impartial jury consistently when extreme cases arise,” Chauvin’s legal team told the Supreme Court. “This was particularly true here when the jurors themselves had a vested interest in finding Mr. Chauvin guilty in order to avoid further rioting in the community in which they lived and the possible threat of physical harm to them or their families.” Approximately nine minutes of harrowing cellphone footage showed Chauvin placing his knee on Floyd’s neck despite pleas from the 46-year-old black man that he couldn’t breathe. Floyd was being arrested for allegedly using a counterfeit $20 bill when Chauvin confronted him. A medical examiner concluded that recent methamphetamine and fentanyl use may have contributed to his death as well. Chauvin’s legal team had argued his case to the Minnesota Court of Appeals, but that court upheld his conviction back in April and declined to give him a new trial. Then in July, the highest court in Minnesota upheld the lower court rulings, which led to the request to the US Supreme Court. The nine-member Supreme Court receives somewhere around 7,000 case requests on average every year and typically only accepts between 90 and 150 of them. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/infrastructure/buttigieg-promises-less-chaos-travelers-2022-season-lurks-memories Buttigieg promises less chaos for travelers as 2022 nightmare season lurks in memories Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said this Thanksgiving travel season is expected to be one of the busiest in U.S. history, but travelers can anticipate fewer flight cancellations than they've seen in recent years. Speaking alongside Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Mike Whitaker at a Monday news conference, Buttigieg said, “We are seeing more people flying than ever with fewer cancellations.” The National Airspace System is reporting the lowest cancellation rates in five years. Flight cancellations are down to 1.3% so far in 2023, compared to 2.3% in 2022, according to preliminary data from the Aviation System Performance Metrics. Airlines have made some improvements from post-pandemic complications that were seen in Southwest’s 2022 holiday travel disaster. Canceled and delayed flights affected an estimated 2 million passengers, and the company lost around $220 million in the final three months of last year. The FAA is investigating multiple domestic airlines for unrealistic scheduling of flights, including Southwest’s December meltdown. “In the Southwest case, there was a huge volume of passengers impacted, which means there's been a huge volume of work for the team to go through,” Buttigieg said. “But I can tell you that it's underway and that we intend to send a continued signal that airlines need to only schedule the flights that they can serve.” “I want to remind the industry that unrealistic scheduling is prohibited under the law,” Buttigieg added. Whitaker said skies will remain extremely busy like last year, adding, "We will be working around the clock to make sure passengers get to their destination safely." In an earlier projection, the Transportation Security Administration said the Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the Sunday after are the busiest travel days. TSA is expecting to screen 2.6 million passengers on Tuesday, 2.7 million passengers on Wednesday, and 2.9 million passengers on Sunday, the busiest travel day. “We expect this holiday season to be our busiest ever. In 2023, we have already seen seven of the top 10 busiest travel days in TSA’s history,” TSA Administrator David Pekoske said in a press release last week. “We are ready for the anticipated volumes and are working closely with our airline and airport partners to make sure we are prepared for this busy holiday travel season." https://redstate.com/mike_miller/2023/11/19/michigan-township-declares-itself-a-second-amendment-sanctuary-promptly-forms-militia-n2166546 Michigan Township Declares Itself a 'Second Amendment Sanctuary,' Promptly Forms Militia As the Biden Border Crisis continues unchecked, Chicago and New York City recently made news with their efforts to push back against the shipping of illegal aliens to their respective "sanctuary cities." The Holton Township Board of Trustees in Michigan's Muskegon County last Tuesday adopted a resolution declaring the township a "Second Amendment Sanctuary" and also adopted an addendum establishing a township militia. Self-explanatory, on the surface: Whereas, the Holton Township Board declares and confirms to express its intent to stand as a Sanctuary Township for Second Amendment rights, and to oppose, within the limits of the Constitution of the United States and the Commonwealth of Michigan, any efforts to unconstitutionally restrict such rights. Holton Township officials made clear to the media that the resolution means the township will not enforce red flag laws restricting firearms or ammunition possession. [Have long been promoted by the left] as a way to prevent gun violence by allowing law enforcement to temporarily seize firearms from individuals deemed to be a danger to themselves or others. While this may sound like a good idea on the surface, there are several compelling reasons not to rely on this approach. First and foremost, red flag laws violate due process and the constitutional rights of gun owners. Under these laws, individuals can have their firearms confiscated based solely on the suspicion of a third party, without being given the opportunity to defend themselves or even be heard in court. This is a clear violation of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, which protect against unreasonable searches and seizures, and guarantee due process of law. Moreover, red flag laws are inherently subjective and can be easily abused. The criteria for determining who is a “dangerous” individual are often vague and open to interpretation, leaving room for personal bias and political agendas to influence the decision-making process. In other words, in the case of the Holton County Township Board: "Not in our township. Not on our watch." The Militia Public Security Act addendum states the township is adopting “policies necessary for the security and rights of Holton Township residents,” including a militia compromised of everyday citizens. Legal residents of the township are eligible to join the militia and may make their intentions known by acknowledging their intent on social media or stating their intent by letter to the Township Militia.

Democratically-governed Taiwan, which China claims as its own territory, has complained for the past four years of regular Chinese military patrols and drills near the island, as Beijing seeks to pressure Taipei over its sovereignty claims. With Chinese President Xi Jinping in San Francisco last week for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, where he met U.S. President Joe Biden, the scale of that military activity around Taiwan had scaled off. But Taiwan's defense ministry reported that starting onSunday morning it had detected nine Chinese aircraft crossing the Taiwan Strait's median line, which had previously served as an unofficial barrier between the two and which Chinese planes now regularly fly over. The aircraft involved included Su-30 and J-10 fighters, as well as early warning and electronic warfare aircraft, the ministry said. The aircraft were accompanying Chinese warships carrying out "joint combat readiness patrols" it added. Taiwan sent its own forces to monitor, the ministry said. China's defense ministry did not answer calls seeking comment. China says its activities near Taiwan are aimed at "collusion" between Taiwan separatists and the United States and to protect China's territorial integrity. Taiwan's government, which has repeatedly offered talks with China, rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims and says only the island's people can decide their future. Taiwan was a major focus of the Biden-Xi talks in San Francisco. Xi told Biden during their four-hour meeting on Wednesday that Taiwan was the biggest, most dangerous issue in U.S.-China ties, according to a senior U.S. official. Taiwan holds presidential and parliamentary elections on Jan. 13, with the island's fraught relations with China an important topic on the campaign trail. Over the past year and a half China has staged two large-scale war games around Taiwan, though China's air force has not flown over the island or into its territorial air space.

Break 1: Peggy Slappy   STORY 1: Deputies Arrest Third Suspect In Murder Of Football Star Killed Outside Sugarloaf Mills Gwinnett County sheriff's deputies arrested Kpadeh Jones, a Lawrenceville resident, as the third suspect in the shooting of Elijah DeWitt, a Jefferson High School football standout, killed in a shooting outside Sugarloaf Mills in Lawrenceville last year. Jones, along with Kemare Bryan and Chandler Richardson, faces charges related to DeWitt's murder, including felony and malice murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of certain felonies. DeWitt's family filed a lawsuit against the mall's owners, security officials, Dave and Buster's, and five individuals, alleging insufficient measures to address known crime-related issues at the mall before DeWitt's death. The lawsuit is pending in Gwinnett County State Court.     STORY 2: Suwanee's Shaun King, Lilburn's Diane Owens Recognized for Service to Mercer University's Board of Trustees Suwanee's Shaun King and Lilburn's M. Diane Owens were recognized for completing five-year terms on Mercer University's Board of Trustees. King, senior pastor of Johns Creek Baptist Church, earned his Doctor of Divinity degree in 2018 from the School of Theology. Owens, a retired attorney and former board chair, is a 1977 graduate of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and a 1980 graduate of the Law School. The board also acknowledged other trustees who completed their terms. Nine new trustees were elected, including Nancy Grace and Erin Keller. Thomas P. Bishop was elected as the board chair for 2024. STORY 3: Sol Systems and Gas South Team Up to Donate $300K in support of STEM Education at Gwinnett schools Gas South and Sol Systems have collaborated to contribute nearly $300,000 to Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) for STEM education.

Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We'll be right back   Break 2: MOG  – TOM WAGES – DTL –    STORY 4: Kim Jong Un's daughter marks a year as country's propaganda star In a departure from tradition, North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un's daughter, dubbed the "respected daughter," made her public debut at the test of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) last year, breaking the tradition of keeping leader's children out of the public eye. The daughter, thought to be named Ju Ae, has been used in state propaganda to humanize Kim as a father and convey a message of a new generation ready to lead the family dynasty, reliant on nuclear weapons. The move aims to bolster support for the country's weapons program, emphasizing its role in protecting children from perceived external threats. The daughter has appeared in public 16 times in the past year, often associated with military events. Speculation remains about her potential succession, but given her young age, it is too early to tell. The state propaganda is expected to keep her in a prominent role.   STORY 5: Congressional dysfunction puts the nation's fiscal reputation at risk Moody's has downgraded its outlook on the United States from "stable" to "negative," citing "continued political polarization" and the nation's inability to address fiscal challenges. The recent fiscal dysfunction, including the threat of a government shutdown, has consequences for millions and tarnishes the country's reputation for economic responsibility. Moody's first gave the U.S. its highest credit rating in 1917, but the agency lowered its outlook, emphasizing political polarization. The article calls for voters to rebuke those prioritizing partisan politics over national interests, highlighting the need for Congress to transcend partisan agendas to address the nation's challenges.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3:  Glow Light Show  - ESOG - INGLES 1   STORY 6: Sugar Hill City Council Race Headed to a Runoff In a Sugar Hill City Council race, initially showing Meg Avery defeating Councilwoman Jenn Thatcher by five votes, the certified results, including provisional ballots, now indicate a tie with both candidates receiving 729 votes. The city announced a runoff election for Post #3 on December 5th. The election initially seemed unfavorable for incumbents, as challengers, including Avery, appeared to secure victories. Now, Avery and Thatcher will compete in a runoff, and early voting is scheduled from November 27 to December 1, with election day voting on December 5 at Sugar Hill City Hall. STORY 7: Steve Gasper Announces Campaign For Gwinnett School Board District 3 Seat Steve Gasper, a frequent critic of the Gwinnett County Board of Education, has announced his candidacy for the District 3 seat in the May 2024 nonpartisan school board elections. Gasper, a former vice chairman of the Gwinnett Republican Party, has been vocal at school board meetings, criticizing the district's leadership under a Democrat majority. His campaign focuses on empowering educators, ensuring school safety, promoting transparency, fostering community engagement, and delivering high-quality education. Gasper, a former educator and Boy Scout volunteer, aims to bring a fresh and forward-thinking approach to education in Gwinnett County. We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: GCPS - Henssler 60    Signoff –  Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

How employers can assist employees with sight or hearing loss to succeed In this episode 217 of the podcast I bring you an interview with Dan Williams who is the founder of Visualise Training and Consultancy an organisation which promotes and enables inclusion, accessibility and equality for people living with visual impairment, hearing loss and other forms of disability. Dan is an expert in assisting businesses and organisations to be more accessible. In this episode of the podcast we cover: How to encourage employees to be open about their condition or disability. Creating an inclusive culture at work. Ways in which employers can make reasonable adjustments for those with sight and hearing loss. Why it is important to give meaningful consideration to adjustments. Some examples of how employers can make a change and be more inclusive.     Dan Williams “I established Visualise in 2014 with assistance from The Prince's Trust. As someone who experienced gradual sight loss, I wanted to advance social change for VI (visual Impairment) rights by campaigning and advocating for inclusion, accessibility, equality and diversity. As a qualified eye clinic liaison officer and rehabilitation assistant, and with the help of my guide dog, Zodiac, I carry out workplace assessments to support employees with visual impairments. I deliver training that educates staff to better assist clients or customers with VI. Visualise has worked with over 700 organisations across all sectors. When employees are ‘VI Confident', inclusion becomes ‘business as usual' for everyone involved, leading to increased job satisfaction and a more rewarding environment. I also deliver ‘Seeing Beyond the Eyes' CET workshops to foster closer links between the optical and sight loss sectors to benefit patients. In a voluntary capacity, I'm on the RNIB Working Age and Transitions steering groups which assesses work-related challenges blind and partially sighted people face. I'm also a Young Ambassador for the Prince's Trust and sit on their business launch panels, helping other young people to set up enterprises. I'm a member of the College of Optometrists' Public Patients Reference Group (PPRG), which receives input from patients and the public to improve policies, guidance and patient resources. I am also an active Trustee for The Nystagmus Network charity. In the beginning, sight loss feels like the end, but later, you realise it's just the start of seeing differently and having a new outlook on life. Overcoming challenges has given me resilience, determination and the ambition needed to strive for success. This can also be said of other disabilities, whether they are visible or invisible. We are here to take away the confusion and myths and replace these with solid information that will give you the confidence to interact and welcome those with disabilities into your working environment.” If you'd like to know more about how your organisation can become more Disability Confident and Aware, please email me at daniel@visualisetrainingandconsultancy.co.uk Or give me a call on 07472305268 Together we can make a difference.”     About Visualise Visualise Training and Consultancy ltd are on a mission to improve inclusion and accessibility for people with disabilities. Our Founder, Daniel Williams, has an eye condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa, which means he is gradually losing his sight. Daniel established the consultancy in 2014 to share his experience and expertise with companies and organisations. This enables them to provide excellent service for customers and employees alike while meeting their legal obligations under The Equality Act 2010. What began as a laser-sharp focussed approach centred on sight-loss impairment and its associated elements has since organically grown to encompass other disabilities such as hearing loss in an ever more significant effort for Visualise to truly become a symbol of total inclusivity. They work with people of all ages and all abilities, including: Disabled people, Veterans, People who experience loneliness, People who need more supportive exercise.

Alton Democrat, November 17, 1888, Alton, Iowa

Did you know that what you do today will leave a legacy for generations to come?Today, we are honored to share the mics with The Christ Foundation Executive Director Lewis Yoder and Director of Operations Andi Kadas.The Christ Foundation was founded by Jerry Moore back in 1971. Jerry Moore was an extremely successful businessman with a heart for helping those in need. He spent much of his life quietly giving to those who needed it most, and when he passed away in 2020, he left most of his estate to The Christ Foundation.Today, The Christ Foundation exists to fund non-profits who are making a Kingdom impact. After Jerry's death, the Trustees of the Christ Foundation knew they needed to hone in and focus on impacting the lives of children and families. And through that, Hope Bridge was born. We hope that as you have listened to the first six episodes, you have seen the incredible ways that God works through small steps of obedience.For Lisa, an unexpected tragedy led her family to foster care.For Nicole, infertility and experience with the foster care system gave her the empathy to sit with other moms in the thick of foster care.Melanie's “yes” to foster care and a career in social work positioned her exactly where she needed to be for her role today.Brian's connection to the community and heart for the church drew him to desire more involvement from the community around us.For Andi and Lewis, their obedience to carry out Jerry's legacy was the final puzzle piece to unite everyone for what is now known as Hope Bridge.If you think what you're doing today doesn't matter, think again. God is still writing your story.Thank you for joining us for another week of ReStoried.Episode Highlights: A brief background on The Christ Foundation.Sharing the leafy of Jerry Moore.An introduction to Andi and Lewis.The idea and heart behind The Christ Foundation.The five-year vision for Hope Bridge. Find more on Guest:The Christ Foundation Website The Christ Foundation IGChestnut Mountain RanchFind More on Hope Bridge:Visit Our Website Follow us on InstagramFollow us on Facebook Foster Our Community Instagram This show has been produced by Adkins Media Co.

Columbia Township - Trustee Meeting - November 14, 2023

In this episode of HEP Talks, Luke Kemper talks with Monica Bhogal, Director of the Schools Consent Project, and Luke Ramsden, Deputy Head of St Benedict's School in Ealing and Chair of Trustees the Schools Consent Project. The episode centres around the concept of consent, a topic that has been propelled into the limelight by recent events. the Schools Consent Project takes the legal definition of consent into schools to make it accessible and real for secondary pupils. Overall, the goal is to start a discussion about consent, whether in schools between pupils, between parents and their children, or between teachers and pupils. How will you start the conversation around consent in your school?

After a reshuffle that saw Suella Braverman leave her post as Home Secretary, and left the government with no women in the “big four” offices of state, Justice Secretary Alex Chalk spoke to Emma Barnett. They discussed the impact of the reshuffle, as well as sentencing reforms which will affect women, and the alleged rapist currently serving as a Conservative MP. Endometriosis is a chronic condition which affects one in 10 women, for whom tissue similar to the lining of the womb starts to grow in other places, causing debilitating pain and in some cases fertility complications. But a charity that looks to support women suffering from the condition - Endometriosis South Coast - has faced criticism this week after announcing that a trans woman, Steph Richards, would be their new CEO. The decision to appoint Steph was made by Jodie Hughes, Chair of the Trustees, who also founded the charity. They spoke to Emma about the appointment. Lisa Lintott always enjoyed writing, but being a single mum meant that this had to take a back seat. But when her son Jazz, an aspiring actor, found that he was only being sent typecast roles, Lisa enrolled herself into a creative writing masters and wrote her own play, casting her son in the lead role. Going for Gold, which tells the life story of British boxer Frankie Lucas, has since won multiple awards, including Best Production Play, Best Producer and Best Actor at this year's Black British Theatre Awards, catapulting them both into the spotlight. Jazz and Lisa told Emma about this unexpected partnership. Minnie the Minx is turning 70. In December the much loved Beano cartoon character will celebrate 70 years since her first appearance. The writers and illustrators of the Beano, based in Dundee, Scotland, created Minnie to “be just as tough as the boys” and “kick back against pre-war societal norms.” Well, that was in 1953. Today, a special edition of The Beano is coming out, guest-edited by England's football captain, Leah Williamson. Laura Howell has been drawing Minnie since 2018 and explained why Minnie's popularity has endured.

Quinney College of Law, Faculty Director and Mentor at the Oxford Human Rights Consortium, and a Global Ethics Fellow at Carnegie Council for Ethics and International Affairs. He is also a Board of Trustee for Pax Natura. Thus, in this episode, he discusses the intersection between environment and ethics. He also unpacks issues of justice and global initiative, ethics of war and peace, and philosophy of religion and culture as they are all relate to climate issues. 

Beth Lee has served with various ministries and non-profits, including Inheritance of Hope, an organization that ministers to young families with a parent facing a terminal illness.

Trustee Emeritus, Austin Beutner, served as chair of CalArts Board of Trustees from 2006- 2014. He is a fierce supporter of arts education, including CalArts' own Community Arts Partnership (CAP) program, as well as the landmark 2022 California ballot initiative, Proposition 28, which creates a guaranteed annual funding stream for music and arts education that equals 1% of the state's general fund. In 2023, that amounts to almost $1 billion of funding for the arts statewide.Host Henderson Blumer spoke with Austin about these issues, as well as his own experience with the arts, why he believes so strongly in supporting arts education, and how he sees CalArts as ideally positioned to lead the arts education revival in California and beyond.Learn more about CalArts Community Arts Partnership (CAP)Learn more about California's Proposition 28Learn more about School Gig, which connects musicians, visual artists, thespians, dancers, programmers, and more, with job opportunities in public schoolsThe Beyond the Blue Wall Season 3 theme music (the intro“Lima” and the outro “Salta”) was created and performed by 2018 graduate, Nicolas Savignano.
