For Immediate Release: Dateline: East Greenwich , RI I have to wonder about the intelligence of companies that dun you  before  your bill is due, then dun you if it’s a few days late, even if it’s for $60 and the credit line is in the thousands. Do they really think this is avoidance and not the post office, or bad timing if you’re out of town? And how much does it cost them to “collect” the $60 when they have agents leaving messages and numbers to call back? By the way, I had to stop payment on an insurance premium mailed two weeks prior to the due date and send another check by courier. The original check arrived in another week—the postal service took three weeks to send a check, first class, to an address ten miles away. And sometimes, I simply don’t received bills until they’re actually due because of the postal service’s slowness and the fact that the company billing me doesn’t use first class mail in order to save a few cents.

Los Angeles, CA  – World-renowned success consultant and media expert Michael Levine has unveiled critical rules for success aimed at empowering minority entrepreneurs, particularly in the Black business community. Levine's expertise, honed over decades of consulting with some of the world's most successful individuals, is now focused on addressing the unique challenges and opportunities for minority-owned businesses in America.

In his latest public engagement, Levine highlights success stories like music mogul Jay-Z, wh

Climate change affects more than just hurricanes and floods, and we must calculate the cost of human lives and their very existence. Photo by Greg Johnson on Unsplash Climate change is clear in videos and photos. It is not contained to one area of the world and is now a worldwide menace to everything human or growing on Earth. To refuse to recognize this is immoral, unjust, and cruel . The next question we must ask is: What happens to the people in those areas? For those who have the means, rebuilding and resurrecting their wrecked and flooded communities will be a tiring but possible task. How many have the resources and ability to rebuild their lives after a disaster? While some view it as an imposition, not all understand the future impact. The destruction, not only in physical structures but also in psychological impediments, is massive and cannot be calculated in money. It will determine the extent of many people's livelihoods and longevity. If they did not die in thes
