I'm currently planning my trip to India, wondering what to pack.

What prompted me to go was the feeling that I would get a true experience for what life is like by being involved. I'm currently a sophomore studying Business and it occurred to me that having an entrepreneurial spirit, I needed to go out and adventure. It totals 6 weeks, with another month in the UK for a glimpse of the Olympics.

This trip has caused me to find the differences in living and the similarities of…

Nearly a week has passed since MLK Day, a day to remind ourselves about the impact of vision. Dr. King's vision spread across the nation and grew to influence the lives of millions. Acumen also strives to revolutionize the current approach to deliver social change. We want to help spread the belief and faith in local communities to lead the way for change and to act in the pioneering spirit. We can start here in Atlanta.

Congress overcame intransigence from House Republicans to agree to the Democrats’ bill, and the climate negotiations overcame similar inflexibility between the developed and developing world.

The last couple of weeks have been very surreal.  Last week Monday, my company announced the launch of a worker's remittance platform called www.mtxpress.com on to the UK to Nigeria corridor.  Our team in Liverpool Street, London have spent the last fortnight writing to media agencies and following up with telephone calls to see if there is any interest.
