Remote control turkey decoy
The remote control turkey decoy Sled is made in the USA and designed by hunters with over 90 years of combined hunting experience. It is lightweight and deadly in the field – you will never want to be without it. All kinds of decoys will work on The remote control turkey decoy Sled, including turkeys, rabbits and a variety of small game.
We call it the remote control turkey decoy sled because you operate it from a distance, not illegally with batteries.
The patented design of this Wild Turkey hunting innovation is sure to give all your decoys life-like action. It can be used with a feeding decoy, or a regular decoy. Turkey hunters are amazed at how the remote control turkey decoy Sled can "lure in" a Tom, avoiding frustrating "hang-ups" which can keep your target out of shooting range. Setup is a breeze and requires no tools.
The remote control turkey decoy sled is a tremendous tool on pressured birds and set ups where the birds can see your turkey decoys from a long ways away. Motion is natural for turkeys, and the decoy sled brings that reality to your decoy set up.
Remote control turkey decoy testimonials
Testimonials from Turkey Hunters Using The remote control turkey decoy sled
"I just had my first hunt ever and got a turkey within 2 hours thanks to the remote control turkey decoy sled. My dad had to call the turkey in twice because I had "turkey fever" and I couldn't hold the gun still the first time. It was a lot of fun!!! Thanks for letting me play with the decoy sled in your booth and making my first hunt a success. Can't wait to see you next year at the show and tell you all about it!"
– Matthew W.
"I bought the remote control turkey decoy sled from you at the Madison WI Deer and Turkey expo. This week I had a chance to try it in the Wisconsin turkey opener. I am pleased to report that the remote control turkey decoy Sled coaxed in a 22lb. Tom. He presented me a 15yd shot, the picture tells the rest. Thanks again for a great product that works."
– Raymund R.
"Darrell, here is the picture of my buddy (Wade)'s first bird ever a jake. We used your remote control turkey decoy sled and a combination of soft calling and the sled (movement) that did the trick. Thanks for a great product."
– Tom B.
"I just wanted to send you some pics of my 5 yr old sons ,Lake Melton, first turkey he took while using the sled. Lake did some calling on a slate and was in charge of operating the decoy sled. With the help of the
– Corey M.
"We've been trying for a couple of years now to get [my hunting buddy Mark's sons] birds. The remote control turkey decoy Sled made all the difference. It seriously could not have worked any better. It was like I had the long beards on a string as well. Both birds were killed at about 20 yards. We actually had four big Tom's close the distance from over 100 yards after they saw the decoy moving away from them. Hunter's bird was 21lbs with a 9 1/2 inch beard and 1 inch spurs. Logan's bird was 19 lbs with a 9 inch beard and super sharp 1 inch spurs. After our success everyone was very interested in the remote control turkey decoy Sled."

The weather has taken an absolute nose dive into full-on winter, and I haven't been even trying to do anything other than layer stylishly and try my best to make all my "practical purposes" outerwear look a bit cuter. The thing about having to deal with such chilly weather seven to eight months out of the year is that it's a real b—h to try and accomplish being attractive in it all — especially if the only thing on your mind is how to adapt to the frigid temperature.
Leg warmers made a huge comeback a few years ago, and they're actually one of the few trends that I've clung to when the thermometer refuses to rise above 40 degrees. I wear tights a lot and, even for those of you who don't, I think you'll find that these little guys can be lifesavers. Whether the wind is whipping you as you wait for the bus or if the snow is knee-deep, leg warmers are easy to pull on and off, and they add an entire extra layer. They're awesome if you throw them on top of your radiator a few minutes before you have to pull them on to brave the cold. They also dry out quickly, which is a huge plus.
My new favorite place to order leg warmers, socks and tights is Sockdreams.com. It's amazing. I stumbled on it when piecing together my Rainbow Brite costume this year. They have a huge variety, they're so reasonably priced, are privately and American owned and they don't charge for shipping. My leg warmers came within three days of ordering them.
It's safe to say that Sockdreams.com is my own personal wet dream.
I got the best mitten/glove hybrids of all time this past weekend. I've had fingerless gloves with a flap on them before, but these have a reinforced stitch holding the flap (mitten) part onto the glove. It was the one feature making me second-guess purchasing "instant mittens" again, so I was happy to see someone realized the fault in the prototype and corrected it, because they're so handy. I'm sort of welling up just thinking about how conventional yet adorable my new little hand buddies are.
Wool of all kinds is my new BFF. I realize that it can be so freaking itchy on its own but if you throw a cotton undershirt on it's the best thing that's ever happened to you. I have finally reached the age where I can appreciate true warmth and the relatively few extra dollars it takes to achieve that. If you can't handle the material no matter how hard you try, I would suggest at least getting a blend with wool in it. My girlfriend is super-into these socks by the brand called SmartWool. They have a whole line of apparel that's lightweight, crazy warm and worth every penny — not to mention, pretty snappy-looking.
I'm considering investing in some serious snow gear this winter. I finally found the snowpants of my dreams last year so now that I've gotten that out of my system I'm moving onto more serious issues. I'm talking about YakTrax, people. I'm convinced these fantastic little strap-ons are going to save my life this winter.
Keep your mind out of the gutter: They fit over any pair of shoes or boots that might require a bit more stick as you tread the slippery walkways. I literally almost broke my neck several times last winter on the streets of Chicago, so I'm totally buying a pair of these. I love them because you can't even tell you're wearing them.
What are you doing to stay warm and wildly cute this winter?

From Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA:
My nine year old son was diagnosed with type 1 six months ago. He currently gets two injections per day of NPH/Regular. He and I would like to switch him to an insulin pump. However, it seems to be the philosophy with this endocrinology group, that children are not ready for a pump until at least one year after diagnosis. We want to switch because of the added flexibility and better control. He is counting carbohydrates and demonstrates a good understanding of his disease. We have spoken with several pump representatives and started to educate ourselves on it. It seems like summer would be an ideal time to switch since I can work with him so closely everyday. Is the one year waiting period is the norm for most pediatric endocrinologists? What is the benefit of waiting? What is the criteria for being ready for a pump? Do you have any recommendations for persuading the doctor to switch sooner?
You certainly should read Is the pump right for you? on this web site.
I don't think that there is a designated time frame that one must endure before considering a pump. Rather, it is an understanding, and a practical application of the principles of pumping that determines a successful candidate. Indeed, we just presented our data at the national pediatric research meetings demonstrating that patients who go directly to pumping from NPH/Regular regimens do LESS well on pumps during that first year of pumping, compared to those patients who first go on to an insulin injection program that uses the basal-bolus principles.
My patients studied had had diabetes for several years and all were essentially out of the diabetes honeymoon. Your child is probably still in the diabetes honeymoon. Others may disagree, but I think pumping while in the honeymoon can give an enormously false sense of security.
Remember that a pump is not an artificial pancreas. It will not automatically give more insulin when your glucose is high; it certainly will not automatically give less insulin when your glucose is low. One must check the glucose not only before meals, but ideally after meals also. If the glucose is high, there is a laundry list of things to do to troubleshoot the pump and try to correct the problem compared to now: if your glucose is high, you simply give an extra shot. In other words, a pump is A LOT of work. It certainly does allow increased flexibility in meals and some activities (have to disconnect for contact sports, water activities, etc).
So, I'd suggest that you maintain an open dialogue with your diabetes team who has more experience with pumps than you do at this time. They may not be so rigid in their approach as you might think. But, I would strongly suggest that if want to experience the dosing approach to pumping, without the pump, you ask to begin a basal-bolus insulin plan. This will involve the use of a very long lasting, essentially non-peaking insulin (such as insulin glargine [Lantus]) in conjunction with multiple shots of fast-acting insulin (such as Humalog, NovoLog, or maybe even Regular) to be dose with EVERY meal, but based on your carbohydrate intake. Right now, I'd wager that while you may be tracking carbohydrate intake, you're not doing anything really with that information. If you can count carbohydrates accurately, and dose insulin appropriately and accurately based on the carbohydrate counting, then you may be ready to pump.

Plum Granny Farm Weekly Update -- Anybody Got an Ark?
Hello Farm Friends! Happy Thursday!
Okay -- if I start talking about how dry it is again, please stop me. I think I may have wished a flood upon us. Since we last spoke, we have gotten over 4 inches of rain. Yesterday we were spared as tornadoes moved through our area. We were very lucky -- far luckier than many of our friends and neighbors. Our friends at Felsbeck Farm (Connee and J French) did get hit by the tornado -- they are about 3 miles away. There were lots of downed trees and power lines with some damage to buildings and crops -- but it could have been a lot worse. Just down the road from them, the tornado destroyed the home of Chris Overby's mom and her husband (Chris is our employee) -- thank goodness they weren't home at the time. We count ourselves very fortunate and are trying to help our friends where we can. Please keep these folks in your thoughts and prayers.
Crop Update
Despite all of the rain, we have been harvesting a lot this week. We actually began the garlic harvest with the early Asian varieties -- Shandong and Pyong Yang. They are huge. And never say that garlic farmers are put off by some rain and mud. Our credo is "Neither rain nor gloom of day shall keep these farmers from their appointed harvest. Garlic waits for no man." Sorry, U.S. Postal Service....
Market Updates
We'll be at Cobblestone Farmers Market Saturday from 9-noon. You will find lots of other Certified Organic produce including lots of GARLIC SCAPES, Snow Peas, Sugar Snap Peas, Florence Fennel, Escarole, Fancy Pants Salad Mix with edible flowers, Kale (Dino/Lacinato and Vates Curly) and Swiss Chard. In smaller quantities: Strawberries, Artichokes, sweet and crunchy Cucumbers as well as garlic powder. Our beautiful hanging Strawberry Baskets would make a nice hostess gift for your Memorial Day gatherings. These everbearing Seascape strawberries will produce until frost -- they would love to hang out in a sunny spot at your house. Several of them already have ripe berries!
We will also have a nice selection of Certified Organic transplants (peppers, herbs, edible flowers, eggplant, tomatillos, kale and more).
Wishing you the best on this Memorial Day weekend. The weekend always holds special meaning for us since both of our fathers served in World War II. Ray's dad, Bill, was a career Army man and also served in Korea. Cheryl's dad, Holt, enlisted in the Army at the beginning of World War II and was stationed in the Philippines. The photo below was taken at the World War II Memorial in 2004.
Our deepest appreciation goes out to all those who have served our country -- in wartime and peace. Take a moment this weekend to say "Thank You" to a veteran -- and if you are one, our special thanks to you.
Until next week,
Cheryl and Ray

Watch CNN's Mary Snow report how Fred Thompson is responding to attacks on his abortion record.
NEW YORK (CNN) - A former law colleague of likely Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson told CNN Monday that Thompson worked in the 1990s for a group trying to loosen abortion restrictions.
Because many social conservatives see Thompson as their best hope for seeing an anti-abortion president in the White House in 2008, any perceived weakness in his position on abortion could damage his appeal among those voters.
Former Democratic Rep. Michael Barnes worked with Thompson at Arent, Fox, Kintner, Plotkin & Kahn.
- CNN's Bob Ruff
The Christian Coalition must be very disappointed with Fred. Guess they'll have to stick with Guiliani after all. Decisions, Decisions......
The FredHeads won't believe anyone including Thompson himself as they have their heads so far buried in the sand with their the 'media is lying' that it is an embarrassment to the rest of the Republican Party.
Rove is in the process of damage control and you can take it to the bank since the same cable that has been in every Republican election since Nixon is now behind Thompson.
Do the research and you will find the same people. Libby was brought on board the group by Wolfowitz. Doesn't take much to connect the dots.
why does this get no press? romney said he switched and that is all the press wants to talk about. thompson switched but says he didn't and they hardly even touch it. wierd.
So after another "top tier" candidate fails to meet approval is it time for the Republican party to back the only true conservative?
The problem the Party has is that they know that Ron Paul will do whats right based on the constitution, not based on who pays him the most.
Great, Fred Thompson, another Republican politician another proven liar. The number of proven lies of Bush even exceeds the number of war dead and wounded. Lies and liars have never bothered the Republican base a whole hell of a lot. It's gay marraige and welfare moms they hate.
So what?

On paper, Suffolk should have won both matches easily, as they outgraded opponents Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire by some margin.
Top Suffolk scorers were:
Shaun Munson 2
Rob Sanders 2
Nick Savage 1½
Ian Wallis 1½
Phil Hopkins 1½
Andrew Shephard 1½
Suffolk beat Hertfordshire 9½ - 6½ in the morning, and scraped home 8½ - 7½ against Bedfordshire in the afternoon. At one stage it appeared that Suffolk would lose the PM match, but last-to-finish Steve Gregory managed to eke out a win both for himself and the team.
Three counties - Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk - now have nine match points from their six matches. But Suffolk are third when game points are taken into consideration. The final matches on 8 March are crucial, with Suffolk facing Hertfordshire as well as current league leaders Cambridgeshire.
Suffolk are current Minor Counties Champions.

A week after Libya was suspended from The UN Human Rights Council due to 'gross, systematic' violations of human rights, Damascus says it will contend for the vacant seat.
UN Watch Director Hillel Neuer: "The Assad regime runs a notorious police state that denies the Syrian people the right to free speech and freedom of assembly, jails journalists and tortures dissidents. It sponsors some of the world's most vicious terrorist groups and has assassinated numerous journalists and opponents in Lebanon. The UN and the cause of human rights will be severely damaged if Syria's Assad regime wins a seat."
Mr. Neuer, I know you care. Really. I know you do. But to infer that The UN cares about 'human rights' is beneath you sir. Please check into UN Agenda 21 and The ICR2P and you'll understand.
If Syria gets on The Council, North Korea may as well be given a seat.

3 reasons why you crave pumpkin spice everything come fall, according to science
by Tamim Alnuweiri, September 21, 2017
You'd think people would tire of PSL items du jour, but the trend hasn't gone away—and there are deeply-rooted reasons why, CNN reports.
Here are 3 reasons you can't get enough pumpkin spice in the fall.
1. It brings back cozy childhood memories, and #nostalgia is everything
Pumpkin spice—a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, and other spices frequently used in homemade baked goods—gets people feeling a pleasant sense of nostalgia. And nostalgia, (the "spicy" variety included) is au courant, BTW.
"The aroma of pumpkin spice immediately transports people to all the warm and friendly times that childhood memories are made of."
Food scientist communicator Kantha Shelke, PhD, said, "the aroma of pumpkin spice immediately transports people to all the warm and friendly times associated with pumpkin pie, holiday gatherings, families, celebrations, treats, sweets…things that childhood memories are made of."
2. It's a time-tested (like, millennia) recipe for success
Since the pumpkin spice blend has been used in different cultures around the world for thousands of years, according to Shelke (baklava from the Middle East, for example), the nostalgic effect extends worldwide.
3. The flavor is often chemically boosted, appealing to your sweet tooth
Many pumpkin-spice products are sweet, and the added sugar makes the stuff quite addictive.
"Not quite the same neural mechanisms as drugs of abuse, but certainly the more you consume, the more you reinforce the behavior and want to consume more," Catherine Franssen, PhD, said.
So, if you find yourself going to Starbucks three times a day to get your PSL fix, remember: It's not you, it's science.
Keep your pumpkin spice habit healthy by making these 7 protein bars or this adaptogen-filled latte.

Do you have hoarded of Easter chocolate left over? Wondering what to bake with it? I don't know if your kids are anything like mine and decide to open every singe chocolate egg and mini egg and jets about any foiled item available in a chocolate Easter frenzy?! The little man embarked on a de-foiling adventure around Easter and I was left with a whole bowl of random bits of chocolate that he had discarded along the way (also to attempt to get it out of his vision so that I could control his sugar intake!) As we had SOOOOO much chocolate I decided to get my bake on… Ive never been good at making brownies, they have always been either too dry or too runny and never have that luscious crispy top. But this time… miraculously… they worked!

Places for Moms to meet, The Wendy House: A reviewPlaces
So where are these elusive places for Moms to meet I hear you ask? It is a commonly known fact that when craving an adult interaction it is quite another matter finding the right place to indulge said cravings. There are plenty of places that label themselves as 'child friendly' or made for kids specifically, but are they made for adults to enjoy some solace and steal a few moments of conversation about anything other than animated shows or when the next meal is! I have explored an array of places with some of my Momigos and none have matched up to The Wendy House.

Now everyone makes these slightly differently but my Easy Easter Chocolate Nests are made with shredded wheat; other options are of course cornflakes or rice crispies, but for the authentic 'nest' like appearance I think shredded wheat is best. I also like to top them with the traditional Easter pastel shades of mini eggs; they tend to taste fabulous too (any other mini egg addicts out there? Just me?) This is also a great recipe to get your kids involved with as, honestly, is so easy!

Does crying make you happy? Relieve stress through crying?

I started to do some research and I found that in fact crying can make you happy, and here is why.

UN To Hold Nuclear Conference in the Riviera Nayarit
- The Riviera Nayarit's top-notch hotel infrastructure attracted the Conference on the Humanitarian Impact of Nuclear Weapons with 700 participants from around the world.
Personnel from the United Nations arrived at the Riviera Nayarit to perform a site inspection in order to assess the destination as the location for the Conference on the Humanitarian Impact of Nuclear Weapons, set to take place February 13-16, 2014. The Riviera Nayarit was duly approved to host this important international event.
On October 21st of this year, a group from Mexico's Secretariat of Foreign Relations including Juan Sandoval Mendiolea, Director General for the UN; Karin Oechler, advisor to the Executive Management for Political Coordination; and Carlos González Cedano, the Adjunct Events General Manager, proceeded with the inspections needed to make the final decision.
"There's no doubt the Riviera Nayarit's top-notch hotel infrastructure plus the quality and excellence in service makes it a destination worthy of this kind of international event," said Marc Murphy, Managing Director of the Riviera Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau. "It's an honor to be considered by the UN to host a conference of this magnitude."
The CVB events staff assisted the UN personnel from the moment they arrived until the moment they left. They took the group on tours of different hotels in Nuevo Vallarta, which would accommodate the 700 attendees.
They also visited the Paradise Village Hotel, site of the convention center that will host the event. Several meetings took place with hotel executives to finalize details. Reservations contracts will be signed during the first week of November.
It is thanks to the investment and initiative of the People's Government—headed by Roberto Sandoval Castañeda—that an event of this scale and with such a worldwide impact can take place in the Riviera Nayarit. This also serves to powerfully position the destination's brand.
According to the Governor's recent second State of the Government address, Nayarit tops the list in foreign investments and certified clean beaches.

9 Quick Tips for Coming Up with Great Short Film Ideas
Filmmaking is a challenge on many levels. There's planning and pre-production, lighting and shooting, and then putting it all together in the edit. Before you can get to any of those steps, however, you have to have an idea. More than that, you have to have an idea that is worth the considerable time and effort that it takes to make that idea into a film. And for me, and I'm assuming for many others as well, that's one of the hardest parts of filmmaking. I mean, you don't want to waste time on stories that suck and ideas that don't resonate with you. And you sure as hell don't want to waste other people's time on those mediocre ideas.
So, how do you come up with good ideas on a consistent basis? YouTuber Darious Britt has a few tips that are sure to get you coming up with great short film ideas in no time flat.
Here are the tips that Darious lays out in the video:
- Routine: Make writing and generating ideas something that you do on a regular basis, say for 10 minutes every morning or before you go to bed. This is a great habit to have. Even if 3/4 of your ideas suck, you'll still be left with lots of good material.
- Write What You Know: Drawing from your own experiences is a sure-fire way to create believable scenarios and authentic characters. Dig into your past and ask yourself if there are any instances that could be the basis for a film. This doesn't mean you should make biopics about yourself, but instead, apply your experiences to different ideas that you've generated.
- Game of Opposites: Take a well-known concept and flip it on its head. This is a playful way to brainstorm ideas that go against the grain.
- Watch Other Films: This one is self-explanatory. Being a good consumer of art makes you a better artist. Plus, as Darious mentions, it's a great way to mine for ideas. Keep in mind that very few, if any, ideas are truly original. Don't feel bad about taking somebody else's concept and putting your own spin on it. Chances are the filmmaker you're borrowing from did the exact same thing.
- The Magic Notebook: Ideas often come at the worst time: in the shower, when you're out with friends, when you're cooking dinner. It doesn't have to be a physical notebook, but having a way to capture spontaneous ideas as they come to you is essential. The notes app on your phone works great, as does the voice recording app.
- Research: Start doing research about a topic that interests you. Along the way, you'll almost certainly come across interesting facts and scenarios that can be turned into film ideas.
- List Your Resources: As independent filmmakers, our resources are often limited. By listing out the resources you have, whether it's certain locations or props, you can generate ideas that you know you can make. This is a super practical way to go about making short films.
- Keep It Simple: For short films, it's often better that the concept is something extremely simple. Stop thinking about complex plot lines and characters, and instead try building a film around a simple idea.
- Live a Little: This goes along with #2. It's much easier to write what you know if your life is somewhat interesting.
So there you have it, 9 tips that you can use right now to start generating short film (and feature film) ideas. Now it's your turn. Share your best tips for coming up with film ideas down in the comments.

What if you like an idea so much that you don't want to change it, but then you change it completely because you thought another idea would work, and then you repeat this action until you don't have an idea at all?

Interesting article! Your story will turn out interesting for its proximity, newness, its ability to address a societal problem, its relatable themes, its ability to reflect environment, attention catching ability and generally its realness. I have found out this semester from my Script Writing class that we get story ideas for film from
1. Personal experiences (always try to tweak this until it becomes very interesting, still keeping its 'realness')
2. Other people's experiences (seek their approval before making them into a film though)
3. Observable lapses in the society (societal flaws)
4. Other art forms like books, poems, music (adaptation)
5. Folklore
6. Historical Events
I would like to emphasize that routine practice is very vital in churning out a block bursting film at the end of the day.
Thank you!

In May of 2010, Ben Cox and four Babson College classmates presented an idea to a group of Boston businessmen. The enthusiastic feasibility of their proposal was evident to those listening, and within minutes of their closing remarks $100,000 was pledged to implement an entrepreneurship resource center in Rwanda.
The story starts with Dennis Hanno, Dean of Babson's undergraduate school. Embodying the mission of his university—to educate a generation of entrepreneurial leaders to create economic and social value globally, and one of the first institutions to coin entrepreneurship education—he believed that business was best taught in the field, not in the classroom. Shortly after his appointment at Babson in 2007, a Babson professor, who had heard of his long-standing Business Skills Training project in Ghana, West Africa, introduced him to a Rwanda advocate.
Babson's flagship Management and Consulting Field Experience (MCFE), a student-consulting program with international corporate sponsors and project assignments, sent a team of six undergrads to Rwanda under Hanno's supervision. Their goal was to formulate a business plan for a local entrepreneur who was interested in launching an English-training institute for managers and businesspeople. The finished plan was used to launch the International Languages and Management Institute in Kigali, Rwanda's capital city.
Why Rwanda?
Why Rwanda? Babson President Leondard Schlesinger saw his dean's passion for a country "that has built its entire recovery from genocide on the basis of entrepreneurship."
There are few countries on the face of the planet that are as ready and as eager as Rwanda for the latest tools and methods to train entrepreneurs, whether it's been the dramatic increase in the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business index—in one year, Rwanda made a spectacular leap from 143rd to 67th—or in terms of the ease of opening new businesses—Rwanda now ranks 11th in the world. As a result over the last fifteen years, per capita GDP has quadrupled. The entrepreneurial potential for Rwanda going forward is enormous.
Word spread quickly that Hanno was doing work in Rwanda. He was introduced to Boston businessmen with ties to the country, one being Dan Nova, a partner at Highland Capital who knew of Babson's expertise in the field of entrepreneurship. Nova saw a partnership with Babson as a perfect tie to a country that he had developed his own passion for, a country that is, "one of the most entrepreneurial nations on the planet." Hanno, finding the sponsor he needed, quickly assembled another MCFE team to investigate how Babson could expand its work in the country. The team was composed of the university's finest students, five seniors chosen by Hanno after an extensive application process.
After a half semester of mostly student-led research aimed at understanding where and how Babson's expertise could be used most effectively in Rwanda, Hanno led a transatlantic trip to conduct research on-ground. One of the three students to accept was Cox, who recalled his eagerness to board a plane to Rwanda.
The benefits would be mutual: for the Babson community, this relationship represented an opportunity for students, faculty, and alumni to put practice into action by sharing their expertise with the developing world; for Rwanda, the relationship would enhance the already flourishing entrepreneurial environment and provide extra capacity and knowledge to help lift itself out of poverty.
Their initial five-day trip in March was intensive, aimed at gaining a first-hand understanding of Rwanda's entrepreneurial environment. They met with the CEO of East Africa's largest broadcasting station, who explained some of the challenges in growing a business, chief being a lack of skilled labor; they organized a "Rocket Pitch" business plan competition at one of the top secondary schools in the country, where students "were using principles such as overt benefit and target market within hours"; they met with President Paul Kagame's personal secretary to discuss entrepreneurial development; they analyzed the resources a young group of female entrepreneurs could use in launching and growing their businesses.
Yet it was an impromptu meeting that solidified the purpose of the trip. The Private Sector Federation, the principal business community in Rwanda headed by the influential private sector advocate Robert Bayigamba, heard about Babson's work in the country and arranged for a sit-down with the team. As former Head of the Privatization Secretariat, Bayigamba coordinated the privatization of twenty state-owned companies, and is now the Managing Director of the country's largest furniture manufacturer in wood, metal and aluminum. Bayigamba didn't have the capacity within his limited staff to make the changes that he and the other PSF leaders had envisioned, mainly establishing a stronger capacity to provide sector specific services.
Hanno responded, "I've got the staff. It's called 1900 undergrads and 1500 graduate students just chomping at the bit to contribute to something like this."
The team left Rwanda with the knowledge that a partnership with the PSF was something they would move forward with. They still needed to develop a plan that worked, and find the funding for such a plan. Cox and his team spent the rest of the semester focusing on how they would implement their vision of establishing an entrepreneurship resource center that would provide consulting, skills training and research collaboration. The center would partner with the PSF and be housed in its headquarters. In May, the finished proposal was presented on-campus to a group of local investors, winning $100,000 of immediate support—a key contributor President Schlesinger himself.
Four months later Bayigamba stood before a crowd of Babson professors, students and local business leaders in Wellesley, Massachusetts. He stood with a commanding presence, speaking slowly and confidently about the future of the Babson-Rwanda Entrepreneurship Center.
"Rwanda, in the aftermath, wants to tell the world 'never again'. That we are able. Yes, we did a bad thing to humankind, but we can turn around and make special things for our people, for our region, for our continent, and for the world. That's why there is consistent commitment to change, and we know that we cannot do that without partnership."
An agreement between Babson and the PSF was signed before a keen crowd, and in October Cox and Chris Smith—a recent graduate of the Global Entrepreneurship Graduate Program—left the brisk Northeast fall for the temperate hills of Rwanda to serve as the Center's Project Directors. Their Babson fellowship is a two-year commitment, with the Center's goal to add two staff members each year.
The Babson-Rwanda Entrepreneurship Center
Cox and Smith's work has revolved around helping Rwandan entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses, focusing largely on Rwandan investment groups—in the words of Cox, "formative business leaders that have pooled their money and are looking for where to spend it"—to identify promising projects and potential investors. A unique Babson skill set allows for in-depth consultation that many of these businessmen have never benefited from; through viability studies and business plan formulation, leadership seminars and individual training. Ultimately, Cox and Smith hope to channel the knowledge that has made Babson a forerunner in entrepreneurship education.
"Working with individual entrepreneurs is something we don't want to forget about," Cox reiterates in his appeal to the aspiring entrepreneur as well as larger investment groups. In March a Babson team is coming to run a leadership seminar alongside Cox and Smith, and in the summer the Center plans to launch a leadership boot camp for local high school students.
Meanwhile Hanno advises from afar, especially when difficulties arise. Cox and Smith's main problems have been facing the hierarchical structure of Rwandan investment groups, unfulfilled pledges due to unworkable ideas, proneness to "work in a silo", and out-of-reach interest in an economy still working to lower its rates. Lack of human capacity and capital remain the chief concerns in a post-colonial, post-genocide, Rwanda.
Yet the potential is limitless in a country that strives closer toward its goal of becoming an economic model for the developing world. The Babson fellows recognized this potential from the faraway streets of Boston, and turned an ambitious idea into a sustainable project.
Why Rwanda? I have been working in Africa for over ten years, and on my first visit to Rwanda I was struck with the country's focus on entrepreneurial development. I have not seen another country like it anywhere. Both the government and the private sector recognize the role of entrepreneurship in creating economic and social progress, and Babson College is dedicated to this same ideal: creating great economic and social value everywhere. Entrepreneurship even plays a prominent role in Rwanda's secondary and university curricula.

Life Recovery Groups
Sunday, to 6:00 pm
This meeting is open and anyone may attend.
Mixed group.
Hurts, habits, or hang-ups? There is Hope in Christ-Centered healing. In the FISH Group (Fellowship of Integrity, Strength, and Hope), we share our experience, strength and hope with each other, and respect the anonymity of each person. We have found that the Bible is the greatest book on recovery ever written. We get to know our Jesus as our Higher Power who is waiting with arms outstretched for all us to turn back to Him, seek His will, and recover the wonderful life He has for each of us. Recovery is letting God do for us what we could not do while taking the steps necessary to draw closer in a loving relationship with Jesus.
Our experience has shown that without God, there is no recovery or joy in our lives, only more disappointing substitutions and repeated failures. In FISH Group, we learn that by surrendering our will and our old way of living to God, He provides us a new design for living with a future and a hope. We pray that the fellowship of the FISH Group will help us all better understand who God is and how he wants to heal our brokenness and set us on the path toward wholeness.

I will be interviewing (and featuring work by) some of our mountain writers over the next several months. Drop by, when you have a hankering for some company.
Late bloomers struggling for a last glimpse of sun, my zinnias make do with not quite enough sunlight and not quite enough space at the edge of the garden. Our lush spring greens --mustard, lettuce, collards, chard--are long gone, and I haven't yet seeded my fall garden. This time of year leaves me looking at bare garden soil and tomato plants that have once again disappointed us. But the cucumbers are coming on strong. Pickles! Oh yes.....
Hearts a'Busting open their seedfire, their audacity giving me hope for busting out of my own late summer lethargy.
A lone butterfly clinging to ironweed makes an apt metaphor when I feel time, and summer, slipping away. Hang on, golden wings! Soon you will turn into golden leaf hanging onto the branches atop our ridge, then lingering awhile in flight before settling like golden and russet wings to the leafmeal below.
Time's arch, a swish of leaves presaging fall, makes me stop to catch one nano-second of late summer light with a shutter click.
Ironweed, I love you more than Joe Pye Weed, though both of you stand tall against the coming autumnal transformations, determined to come back again when the timing's right, late bloomers
who never give up, sturdy homesteaders staking your claim to the places you've sunk your roots into,
your stubborn roots. May my roots hold fast, as stubborn as yours.

Kind words from customers whom Binson's has had the privilege of helping.
Would you like to submit a Binson's report card? Click below.
"Thank you so much for all your help with my recent dilemma with my oxygen concentrator. It is not easy trying to operate with no medical insurance, and not everyone is willing to work on solutions. I really appreciate your understanding and assistance."
"I would like to thank you very much for your kindness and help in getting me the oxygen that I needed for my stay here in Detroit. Without the O2, my stay over the last weekend would have been very hard to handle as Cindy had a busy weekend for me. We slowed down during the week, but we were still very much on the go."
"Your company has provided my husband with his blood glucose testing supplies for several years. Because he is now an insulin pump user, we are also obtaining pump supplies on a quarterly basis as well. For several reasons, none of which are negative issues regarding your services/company, we will begin receiving both his blood glucose and pump supplies from our insulin pump supplies vendor.
I would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to your company for the services you have provided. Your employees have been very helpful and caring. I would especially like to tell you that Sandy Santos has been wonderful. My dealings with her have always been pleasant even when we hit "a few bumps in the road." Sandy has always been friendly, compassionate, reliable, and professional. It would be nice if all companies had many "Sandy's."
Many thanks and be assured that we would gladly recommend your company to anyone needing your services."
"In the name of the people served by the Capuchin Soup Kitchen, I am writing to thank you for the more than half ton of processed, prize-winning beef that you donated recently. It arrived approximately two weeks ago, and is proving very popular with our guests. We believe that just because people are poor, they should not have to eat bad food. Thus we are pleased to be able to provide them the high-quality meat you purchased for us at the auction in East Lansing. We are grateful.
Thank you once again for including me in the trip to East Lansing that evening. And thank you once again for this wonderful donation to the Capuchin Soup Kitchen."

A 19-member council has been tasked with working towards deepening and sustaining the country's macroeconomic gains for rapid economic growth.
The partnership, among other things, would create a platform to analyse key development issues and advice government, deliberate and make inputs into policy discourse, including the national budget, medium-term plans and the "Ghana Beyond Aid" agenda.
Consequently, it would provide a platform for building a sense of cohesion, trust and self-management as well as ensure frank discussions on issues to champion development.
At the signing ceremony and launch of the MoU in Accra, Mr Ken Ofori-Atta, the Finance Minister, said the ultimate goal of the agreement was to solicit ideas and suggestions that would create jobs for the youth, alleviate poverty and promote economic growth.
Mr Ofori-Atta and Mr Ignatius Baffour-Awuah, the Minister of Employment and Labour Relations, signed on behalf of Government while Dr Anthony Yaw Baah, the Secretary-General of the Trades Union Congress and Mr Daniel Acheampong, President of the Ghana Employers Association, initialled for the Organised Labour.
The Finance Minister said social partnership as an approach for solving national problems had been used widely around the world, saying it served as a means of leveraging collective bargaining for national economic and social development, which allowed the social partners to influence socio-economic decision-making process.
Mr Ofori-Atta noted that the concept of social partnership was considered as an essential ingredient in Europe's economic and political transformation in the post-World War II era and cited Germany, Austria, Scandinavia and Ireland as countries that used it to promote social cohesion.
"It would inculcate the culture of cooperation among workers, employers and Government to ensure industrial peace and maintain Ghana's international competitiveness to drive industrial transformation," Mr Ofori-Atta added.
The Minister said there was a strong partnership among the Government, Organised Labour and the Employers' Association within the framework of the National Tripartite Committee for minimum wage determination.
However, the new social partnership would allow for formalisation of that engagement and broaden the scope beyond the narrow confines of minimum-wage setting to overall economic and social development, which would culminate in ensuring prosperity for all Ghanaians. Read Full Story

A total transformation compared to any other vehicle offered by Kia, meet the newest addition, the K900. Larger and more luxurious in comparison to any other Kia sedan, the K900 meets every expectation of a full-size luxury sedan except for one, price. Unlike with most upmarket models, the Kia K900 does not bear a luxury brand badge and therefore is able to bypass an overinflated price. Affordable while boasting an affluent look and feel, the 2017 Kia K900 is clearly fit for a king.
Speaking of kings, long before he became an ambassador for the K900, NBA All-Star, Lebron James, was an interested K900 fan who personally asked for a firsthand driving experience. The Kia Design Team took extra care to create a sedan that not only looked athletic, with deep curves and a sweeping shoulder line, but also had a strong presence that any driver or bystander could instantly feel. Its sleek and articulate design enables the K900 to slice through the wind, delivering graceful handling and uninterrupted peace and quiet within the cabin.

Private equity firm IDFC Alternatives has invested Rs 75 crore ($11 million) for a minority stake in ASG Eye Hospitals Pvt Ltd, the company said in a media statement.
This is the second investment from the PE firm's fourth fund.
IDFC Alternatives – IV marked its first close at $100 million in January this year. Its first investment was a Rs 80 crore bet on Incred Finance.
The investment is predominantly a primary round with only a minor secondary component where a few old investors exited, an IDFC executive said.
"We envisage opening 20 new centres over the next three years," Dr. Arun Singhvi, the founder and director of ASG said in the statement.
VCCircle had reported exclusively in March 2017 that the Rajasthan-based eye care chain had hired investment bank Allegro Advisors for a fresh capital raise.
Previously, ASG Eye Hospitals had received its first external funding of about $11 million in two tranches from Sequoia Capital India Advisors Pvt Ltd in 2012, according to VCCEdge, the data and research platform of News Corp VCCircle.
The hospital chain has 24 operating centres across nine Indian states, in addition to a centre in Kampala, Uganda, the firm said. The chain is founded by Dr. Singhvi and Dr. Shashank Gang, who are alumni of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi.
Other investor-backed eye care chains include New Delhi-based Centre For Sight, which received approval to list last year, but the company eventually scrapped the plan.
In June 2017, VCCircle exclusively reported that Japanese company Hoya Corp had acquired a stake in eye care firm Eye-Q Vision Pvt Ltd for $12 million (Rs 78 crore).
Earlier, Hong Kong-based private equity firm ADV Partners invested around $45 million in Chennai-based Dr Agarwal's Healthcare Ltd, paving the way for the exit of Evolvence India Life Sciences Fund.
Prior to re-joining Infosys, chairman Nandan Nilekani had invested an undisclosed amount in Disha Medical Services Pvt. Ltd, an eye-care chain focussed on providing affordable treatment in underserved markets.
