In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

This young entrepreneur from Atlanta is the mastermind behind Beautiful Curly Me, a doll company dedicated to empowering young Black girls. Her journey began at the age of six, when she struggled with confidence issues related to her natural hair, often comparing it to the straight hair of her classmates.

PINK’s Global 20th Anniversary Fall Women’s Empowerment Event ~ Tuesday October 22nd 2024, from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm at Woodruff Arts Center. Some of America’s highest-ranking women business leaders will gather at Atlanta’s Woodruff Arts Center on October 22, 2024, to talk about what it takes to succeed, and what life is like in the workplace today versus 20 years ago. That’s when PINK launched as the only national magazine featuring career women. This year PINK, aka Little PINK Book, commemorates two decades of empowering women via professional development, online content, and events. “When we launched in 2004, few women held top jobs,” recalls PINK Founder and CEO Cynthia Good, adding, “And women did not wear pink to work.” A lot has changed. “Back in the day, we received letters from women execs uncomfortable with calling a women’s business publication PINK. One wrote, ‘I reserve the color pink for the lining of my navy-blue suit.’” PINK has moved the needle to help women advance while retaining their authenticity.

There is more that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and his youngest daughter Phoebe have in common than meets the eye. They both have ties to Stanford University and, in the centibillionaire’s own words, “Phoebe and I both left college early, but she came away from Stanford with a degree.” They are both voracious readers, and now they have some “business” to discuss as well. No, the Reproductive Health Advocate hasn’t joined Microsoft, but as expected, she has paved her own path that has led her to business. Phoebe Gates is the co-founder of Phia, a forthcoming digital fashion platform.

Every cow/calf producer aspires for calves to gain weight efficiently. Some producers have discovered that a creep system, particularly creep grazing, is a promising way to achieve this goal. Creep grazing, in particular, has the potential to significantly increase calf weight gain, offering a ray of hope for producers. It’s important to note that both methods, creep grazing and creep feeding a concentrate supplement, have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. Hence, it’s crucial for the producer to research and choose the method that best suits their needs.
