Steve Kimmelman, A Viking Heads South

Beachwood, Ohio / Steve Kimmelman sits courtside at Cleveland State basketball games, focused on his beloved Vikings. Yes, Steve enjoys the pregame reception with all the other boosters, helping himself to the sumptuous spread. Many times he is busy pointing his guests to the different buffet stations, happily reminding them that this is not the time to skip desert, not with this many choices staring them in the face.

But when the clock says the game is imminent, Steve Kimmelman is all business. And it’s the green and white uniformed CSU Vikings that receive his intensive concentration.

It’s one of the rare stretches of time that his company, Redwood Living, is not sending all other thoughts to the bench. At least for the regulation forty minutes of playing time (there’s no telling what enters his head during timeouts).

As the CEO of Redwood Living, a Cleveland-based developer and manager of apartment home communities throughout Ohio, Michigan and Indiana, Kimmelman has helped Redwood grow into a premier, and profitable, development company. Redwood builds multifamily apartment communities that feel more like single family housing, for a lot of reasons.

All Redwood communities are made up of single-story apartment with no upstairs or downstairs neighbors. Every apartment also has its very own private attached garage and a host of interior features that distinguish it from a typical apartment. In other words, people end up felling like they live in a neighborhood of single family homes.

In fact, Kimmelman says, “We get a lot of people calling or stopping by wondering what our apartment homes sell for, and we have to immediately set them straight—these are rentals!”

But having to make sure people understand that these are rental apartments is a small price to pay for success.

Steve Kimmelman is quick to point out his and Redwood’s satisfaction, “We are thrilled that people enjoy the peace and quiet of our communities, the maintenance free convenience, the attached garage, etcetera. It makes us feel that we are making a difference in people’s lives”

And now Steve Kimmelman is setting off in a new direction, literally. Like the Vikings who left their home base in search of opportunities, Kimmelman, a proud modern-day CSU Viking, is steering the Redwood ship south.

Redwood will soon be welcoming residents into communities in Kentucky, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Kimmelman says he doesn’t know exactly how far south Redwood will grow, but he does know that if Redwood’s success in the Midwest is any indication, it could well be a long journey.

Steve Kimmelman would be well coached to make sure his Viking ships are well stocked with supplies.

St. Louis based RSM Federal Presents at the 2014 National Veterans Small Business Conference

 OFALLON, Mo. -- ST. LOUIS - RSM Federal, a federal consulting and strategic marketing firm, is pleased to announce that subject matter experts Joshua Frank and Michael LeJeune were chosen to present at the 2014 National Veteran’s Small Business Conference at the Georgia World Congress Center.

Both Frank and LeJeune have over 20 years of experience in government contracting, are regarded as experts in this field, and both are routinely asked to present and keynote at national conferences. Mr. Frank wrote The Government Sales Manual – the most comprehensive guide to federal government contracting on the market. Mr. LeJeune, author of two business books, also worked under the guidance of Anthony Robbins and the late Chet Holmes in their business consulting division.

Mr. Frank presented sessions on federal business capture and advanced teaming strategies. “One of the key reasons companies fail to successfully sell to the government is that many companies focus on educating themselves but don’t understand how to apply what they've learned. Education is not enough. Attending conferences and training events are not enough. You have to understand the techniques and strategies that help you apply what you’ve learned to be successful,” stated Frank.

 Mr. LeJeune presented a session on advanced data mining based on the Federal Procurement Data System. “Companies tend to underestimate the value of gathering business intelligence before developing a government capture strategy. This session helped attendees identify who buys what they sell, how much, how often, their competition, and potential teaming partners,” stated LeJeune.

During the conference, RSM Federal was notified that two of their clients were awarded the Department of Veterans Affairs $550 million ADVISOR contract. Both companies relied on the training, templates, and resources provided through RSM Federal’s new Federal Access Program. Federal Access formally launches in the spring of 2015 and will be one of the most advanced and comprehensive programs of its kind for government contractors. There are currently 150 companies piloting the program.

###

RSM Federal, founded in St. Louis in 2008, is a federal business development and strategic marketing firm that represents businesses in order to educate, accelerate, and maximize revenue. Our firm develops and executes, in concert with our clients, an aggregated education, sales, and marketing strategy to achieve corporate funding and revenue objectives. We support clients, both private and public sector, with comprehensive and professional services to better understand and exploit government opportunities.

164,000 Join Pierce Brosnan in Petitioning to Save Baby Elephants from Export

After Zimbabwe’s government admitted to capturing baby elephants for international export, activists will deliver over 164,000 petition signatures to Zimbabwean Parliament protesting the move

ZIMBABWE — Despite warnings that taking baby elephants from their mothers can kill them, in late 2014 the Zimbabwe government admitted to capturing 36 baby elephants, one of which has died. The remaining 35 calves are now set to be exported to undisclosed recipients in the United Arab Emirates, France and China.

Activists from various groups will deliver more than 164,000 signatures gathered on a Care2 petition authored by model and Peace 4 Animals founder Katie Cleary and Social Compassion founder Judie Mancuso. The petition asks U.S. Consulates for China, Zimbabwe and the UAE to stop the transport and rehabilitate and release the animals. The delivery will coincide with the Jan. 27 Zimbabwean Parliament meeting, where officials will address the issue.

VIEW THE CARE2 PETITION HERE: http://www.care2.com/go/z/Zimbabwe

On Dec. 8, actor Pierce Brosnan weighed in on the issue on his Facebook page, writing: “I am deeply saddened to learn that 36 baby elephants have been brutally taken from their mothers and are currently awaiting shipment to the UAE and possibly China. We need your help and voices to protect these babies and to stop this shipment of wildlife cargo.”

The capture came to light thanks to the work of the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force. Johnny Rodrigues, an activist who leads the group, told National Geographic that Zimbabwe’s wildlife officials "don't listen to scientists, to reason, to people who study these animals. We should bring our laws on par with the world. And we do not."

Lukas Nelson, son of Willie Nelson, has also weighed in on the controversy.

"The world is slowly waking up to the fact that animals, and certain animals especially, are sentient beings that experience strong emotions like sorrow, heartbreak, family love subsequent fear of abandonment,” he says. “It is now imperative to treat the animals accordingly and respect their familial sanctity. The actions of certain parties who would disrupt such sanctity for the purpose of a private or profitable venture are as criminal as if they were so disrupting the sanctity and peace of a human family. We must not let our human culture destroy the lives of these creatures and so damage the structure of our own moral integrity beyond repair."

The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZPWMA) recently rounded up about 36 baby elephants, 10 lion cubs and 10 rare sable antelope. The baby elephants are between two and a half and five years old. Visitors saw government helicopters and ground teams fire shots above the elephants’ heads, separating the baby elephants from the herd. Government officials then roped the young animals together. “These animals have been unfairly pulled away from their natural habitat, all so a few greedy humans can profit,” Cleary says. “Myself and tens of thousands of others who have signed the Care2 petition urge these nations to do what’s right to rehabilitate these animals and reunite them with their families.”

Cleary hopes her Care2 petition will urge U.S. officials to step in and stop the export. Cleary points out that Zimbabwe’s export is in conflict with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), which is an international treaty drawn up in 1973 to protect wildlife against over-exploitation.

“We must join forces to help our friends on the ground in Zimbabwe to save these babies from export and a life of torture,” says Judie Mancuso, founder and president of Social Compassion, an animal welfare group that has led the coalition effort in the U.S. Social Compassion has received photos and video of the baby elephants being held in wooden pens in Zimbabwe; they are available upon request.

Big Hearted Business Brings Play to Ballet

San Francisco, CA / "I started out dancing on the discarded siding of an above ground pool. I remember summers, bringing my "tape deck" out into the grass and spending hours practicing, choreographing dance moves. I was dedicated." Says Starry eyed Heather Aren't of PolkaDots Traveling School of Dance. "Growing up poor has made me resourceful, and annoyingly tenacious about the things I am passionate about... And I am passionate about dance, kids and giving back to the world at large."

Heather's new invention the "Play Ballet" mat launched its Indiegogo.com campaign early Thursday morning. She is hopeful that funders will be interested in her patented idea and philanthropic aspirations. The mat is not only a progressive dance game for children aged 3-9 but, also a fund to teach dance to at risk youth in the California Bay area. 15% of the profits will go to funding dance programs in a partnership between Her traveling school of dance and Local after school and community center programs.

We asked Heather what a traveling school of dance is. She replied "It's a monetarily accessible dance class in your neighborhood. We teach anywhere there is space. By cutting the overhead costs of running a studio we can offer classes at a base rate. This allows access to students of little means to take quality classes, further spreading my philosophy; dance is for everyone."

Heather is asking for funds of $16,000, the base cost of printing and packaging 1000 mats. It's astonishing how so little can mean so much to one person but, it does to her. When asked about her can-do attitude she quoted the 1980 Alan Parker film -Fame "How far our spirits go shooting out into space depends on how much we contribute to the earthly brilliance of this world, and I mean to be a major contributor....a sure as shit major contributor." How appropriate.

Two New Destiny’s Child Movies Born From Manager Brian Kenny Moore’s Book On First-Hand Experience

NEW YORK, NY / Dousic Entertainment and Brooklyn Media Group announced today the development of two separate film and television adaptations from Brian K. Moore's original book on the birth of Destiny's Child. Released in late 2014, Brian K. Moore's The Making of a Child of Destiny "The Andretta Tillman Story" has been well received as the only first-hand account, from someone who was there through the band's inception, organic growth, and eventual world domination. Moore and screenwriter James A. Pearson began first round discussions on both the motion picture and television projects with online studios; cable and network representatives at CES 2015 in Las Vegas last week.

The two new Destiny's Child movies will be based on the Moore book which is a first hand account of the woman who created and discovered the band. As opposed to being a tell all - Moore's book pays homage to the woman behind discovering Beyoncé and Destiny's Child. The book is a tribute to the fact that the band is a modern day Jackson Five - and to the fact that Andretta Tillman was the mentor and one person whose tenacity continually made sure the band succeeded.

"The reason I wrote the book is simple. I promised I would not let what she did be forgotten as her story is one of hope, faith, and triumph, and a testament of what can be overcome and achieved when one dares to dream," said author Brian K. Moore. "The reach of film and television are helping me keep my word to her. It's not about dirty laundry to me so much to me as a great story of Denise vs. Ten Goliaths. Andretta was a natural wonder."

For Moore the reaction to the book has rebirthed conversations about his deceased mentor, friend, and partner Ann Tillman in his conversations. He is committed and on a mission to tell one story, without gossip or unfounded claims, he simply wants to show the universe the key role Tillman she played in creating Destiny's Child. He is also been humbled by his recent participation in the upcoming official Beyoncé Bio by acclaimed biographer, J. Randy Taraborrelli.

"When I was approached by J. Randy and his team to contribute to the official Beyoncé Biography, I was hesitant and protective of Beyoncé and the bands history, but when they said they wanted to know more about Andretta they had my attention," said Moore.

"Her official bio seeking Moore out as a source for validation and his eyewitness account is a unique validation of the fact that he was there for every point of this bands pertinent history," said James A. Pearson of Brooklyn Media Group. "Brian is very protective of this story in a way that is a testament to his feelings for the band and that initial team. It's a great story of a strong woman who could not be stopped in her quest to make other young women stronger, when I see Beyoncé and Destiny's Child toughness and determination, Andretta's dream lives on today. It's a story made for film and I am happy to be part of her legacy finding suitable production partners to create two great films."

The teleplay will cover the bands growth from a young adult perspective while the feature will center more on the adults behind the award winning band. Both films center how Tillman secured both the Elektra and Columbia/Sony record deals, as well as created and managed the group, formerly known as Girls Tyme, up to the time of her death.

International Songwriter Writes For Social Hope For Society

Nashville, TN / Wherever you turn there is violence and despair all around the world where does one go when there is a need to find Hope?

Like the air we breathe Music is all around us. As a society wherever we go there is music that resonates with us on a personal level. As a part of society we identify with certain styles, genres and types of music.

Music lyrics are said to create the foundation in which is wrapped in a unique sound that catches our attention and before you know it we have resonated to the beat of a new song. Music also, is an expression of our daily life and choices which help design our personality.

When we look at the world out of the eyes of those who experienced the 1950's we viewed fun filled times at the soda pop shop all harmless and full of vibrant sounds that made you want to dance. There were not as many social issues related to violence sexual or vulgar out bursts as you see to day in fact today they are embraced on TV, movies, music video games and other forms of entertainment. Our children are exposed to and may not understand or be ready for.

When you look at music today you see sex filled songs embracing vulgar language, violence wrapped in an uplifting beat. Is there no wonder the world is lost? Creating a need for 'hope' that has been forgotten lost and overridden with sadness and gloom. Parents and leaders are all at a loss and we as a society continue to fall through the pitfalls of society.

Now more than ever 'hope' is needed to clean up the mess of the fast paced marketers whose only interest is monetary.

In an effort to bring 'hope' to society Conscious Music Entertainment has embraced a song 'We Are Hope' to be the voice of change after all sometimes we as humans find that we have to fight fire with fire and music is a language we all resonate to.

The hope is through music that we can rekindle the 'hope' in each and every heart to find their own strength to make a difference in their own lives as well as the lives of others.

The song 'We Are Hope' was written by International Award Winning Songwriter Milliea Taylor McKinney and was recorded by Award winning songstress Sheila Raye Charles together they work to plant seeds of hope through music and through the work they do to help others using the word of God as the resource in which to' do unto others as you would have them do unto you'.

The message is plain and simply where there is life there is 'hope' through kindness and brotherly love we save our own lives and the lives of future generations. It only makes sense that if you have the answer to a problem you apply it generously with the act of love, faith & 'hope'.

About Conscious Music Entertainment:

Conscious Music Entertainment is a Company founded by International Award winning Songwriter Milliea Taylor McKinney. The calling was to be a voice for positive entertainment through music in quest of protecting the innocence of children today. Her belief is that the power of music is more complicated than for entertainment. That music sets the foundation for our society to dance on. The power words/lyrics have really does matter.

411 PAIN Nova Middle School Court Room

Davie, FL  / Announcing the Ribbon Cutting for the 411 PAIN Nova Middle School Court Room.  What a truly amazing ceremony to showcase the wonderful addition to our campus! The ribbon cutting ceremony will be followed by special presentations and an inaugural mock trial led by students of the Nova Middle School Law Studies Program.

The program will start with a welcome by Dara Collins on behalf of the Nova Middle School PTSA and continued with remarks by Robin Bartleman, School Board Member and Donna Korn, Chair of the School Board of Broward County.  Principal Dr. Jermaine Fleming will then welcome and thank all of the sponsors. Dr. Fleming will introduce NMS’s own law teachers, Christopher Relyea and Eli Atlas, who both will discuss their involvement in the law program as well as the impact the court room will have on our students and beyond.

It will be terrific to hear from Germaine Smith-Baugh, CEO Urban League of Broward County and Pamela J. Meanes, President of the National Bar Association, about their involvement in the Court Room and the following mock trial that took place after the ceremony.

The multi-purpose courtroom was made possible by the Nova Middle School PTSA, and by charitable efforts and influence of partners and local businesses, our signature sponsor, 411 PAIN and all of our volunteers, our staff, administration, teachers, students, parents and alumni - and of course, Dr. Fleming and Mr. Relyea!   A special thanks to the NMS PTSA President, Patricia White, and Treasurer, Bevon Christie, for all their time behind the scenes on this project.

Thank you to all of the sponsors, including:

• Phyllis and Michael Mosher of Phyllis Mosher Designs, Inc. and Michael Allen Mosher, AIA;
• Jack Ayala at Genesis Medicus;
• AXA Foundation;
• Craig Levy, AXA Financial;
• Shirley Campbell-Mogg;
• Brinkley Morgan Attorneys at Law;
• Irwin and Sylvia Schnurmacher Foundation;
• Broward Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers;
• GBR Enterprises, Inc.;

A very special thank you to our signature sponsor: 411 PAIN

Additionally, thank you to all of the current and former Nova families that have sent in donations for this project.  Currently, faux books are being painted on the court room walls to recognize our individual family sponsors to date.  The court room will continue to have maintenance and continued donations are much appreciated!

Nova Middle School is one of only three public middle schools in the state with a full-time dedicated courtroom. The Law Studies Program, now in its eighth year, has served nearly 2,000 students interested in pursing legal studies.

Students participating in the Law Studies Program will use the new courtroom facility to practice their advocacy skills, attend law classes and host education conferences. The courtroom is fitted with judge, jury and advocate seating and will also serve as the setting for mock trial competitions.
