9/11 happened a long time back. Our nation needs to heal and move forward. We must never forget the lives lost and and always remember the sacrifices made during that horrific tragedy. We must also continually watch out for the lone wolves or radicals who seek to destroy our peace. We must also work together on stopping new illegal immigrants coming to our country, but must do so in the right way, the human way, the peaceful way! However, we can't terrorize our immigrants because they look different or believe they "took away our jobs." According to numerous studies, legal immigrants have not only created more jobs in our glorious republic, but also have been peaceful and at times, model community members. These immigrants work hard for a living, and moved here in the pursuit of giving a better life for themselves and their families. Immigrants also bring diversity to the workplace which results in greater creativity and opportunity. Some immigrants have ma...

What are the 3 Big Changes small businesses can anticipate in 2017? Higher Sales, Lower Taxes For Small Business Small businesses are quite bullish about their future after Donald Trump got elected as the President, and this is indirectly evident from the consumers picking up their shopping habits. e.g. " people who had put off fixing their cars have decided it was time to get them serviced " at Dean Bingham's auto shop in Greenville, SC according to this story in LA Times.

On behalf of the oGoing team, I wish Americans everywhere in USA and the world Happy 239th Independence Day! We have a lot to be thankful for the freedom and liberties that we enjoy in USA. We cannot take our freedoms and independence for granted. There are many terrorist organizations in the world who are bent on destroying the very fabric of humanity and peace. ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Taliban, Boko Haram are some of the worst offenders and perpetrators. They are bent on spreading terrorism and destroying human lives. To them, killing innocent people including women and children is part of their mission. We should take a moment and thank the brave men and women of our police forces, military and defense organizations such as FBI, National Security Agency and CIA who keep these terrorists away from USA soil and keep us safe! They work 24/7/365 to ensure that our freedoms are always secured and protected. Have a safe, fun and relaxing July 4th Holiday. Enjoy the fireworks and Join...

Do you know what is Backside Double Cork 1620 Japan? I didn't know much about it either until today evening when I was watching the Winter Olympics in Sochi. American  Sage Kotsenburg did this daring trick in his slopestyle snowboard run. It is totally unorthodox and weird, but out of this world! Most snowboarders would never attempt it. However, Sage did. He blew away the competition and the judges with this jump. He won USA's first Olympic Gold medal at Sochi.  " I like doing crazy things, like spontaneous moves ," Kotsenburg said. " I had this idea in my mind all day. It ended up working out . " I thought about it before the run. But once you're going into it, if you're thinking it, you're going to fall on your face ." We entrepreneurs can learn a thing or two from Sage Kotsenburg's snowboarding style. He did something different ... he did something daring ... he did something unorthodox ... and he was having  fun all along. Congratu...

Happy Memorial Day 2013! "It is, in a way, an odd thing to honor those who died in defense of our country in wars far away. The imagination plays a trick. We see these soldiers in our mind as old and wise. We see them as something like the Founding Fathers, grave and gray-haired. But most of them were boys when they died, they gave up two lives -- the one they were living and the one they would have lived. When they died, they gave up their chance to be husbands and fathers and grandfathers. They gave up their chance to be revered old men. They gave up everything for their county, for us. All we can do is remember." -- President Ronald Wilson Reagan Remarks at Veteran's Day ceremony, Arlington National Cemetery November 11, 1985 "I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Memorial Day, May 27, 2013, as a day of prayer for permanent peace, and I designate the hour beginning in each locality at 11:00 a.m. of that day as a time to u...
