Politician
convicted
WHITE PLAINS:
A
jury took only about 90 minutes
Tuesday to convict former New York
City Councilman Daniel Halloran of
bribery charges in a scheme to buy a spot
on the mayoral ballot for state Sen.
Malcolm Smith.
Halloran was also found guilty of tak-
ing payoffs from what he thought were
developers who wanted him to funnel city
money their way. The men were actually an
FBI agent and an FBI informant.
The 42-year-old Halloran spent five
days on the witness stand in federal court in
White Plains. He faces up to 20 years in
prison when he's sentenced Dec. 12.
Halloran, a Queens Republican, admit-
ted taking money but said he earned it for
work as a political operative. He said, "It's
regrettable this is the way politics works,
but it's not illegal."
His attorney, Vinoo Varghese, said in
his closing argument that Halloran "never
crossed the line" into crime. He said as the
trial started, "My client's got a big mouth,
I'll admit that. He's a politician."
Prosecutors said Halloran took nearly
$45,000 in bribes and illegal campaign
donations.
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara issued a
statement saying Halloran is "unfortunately
not alone in a crowded field of New York
officials who are willing to sell out their
offices for self-enrichment."
Halloran was accused of scheming
with Smith, a Democrat, to bribe county
Republican leaders, who would have had to
approve Smith's plan to run for the GOP
line.
Smith and former Queens Republican
leader Vincent Tabone, who went on trial
with Halloran last month, were granted a
mistrial and are expected to be retried in
January.
Two other politicians who were arrest-
ed with Smith have pleaded guilty: Bronx
Republican leader Joseph Savino, who tes-
tified for the prosecution against Halloran,
and Joseph Desmaret, former deputy mayor
of Spring Valley. A sixth defendant, former
Spring Valley Mayor Noramie Jasmin, is
being tried separately.

I will remember my passion. My passion is
my gift. My passion will make me become the
best. Once I know my passion, it will be my
key to success.
P
assion is infectious. When you feel pas-
sionate about something, you automati-
cally communicate your feelings authenti-
cally and convincingly to others. Your pas-
sion pulls you toward your goals and moti-
vates you to pull others along with you.
A leader who is passionate can more
easily inspire others to become passionate
about achieving the goals. In contrast, people
are reluctant to follow a leader who does not
demonstrate a strong passion to achieve a
vision for the future of the group or the
organization.
While it is important for leaders to
understand their passions, they must also be
able to communicate their passions to others.
It is not enough for a leader to feel passion-
ate about something. They must also inform
others that they believe something is worth
caring about. As a result, communications
skills are essential for understanding how to
lead with passion.
To be an effective leader, you must
make a conscious decision to communicate
your passions to others. If you are indeed
passionate about a subject, you will be natu-
rally animated and enthusiastic when dis-
cussing the subject. There are also times
when you may have to be more restrained
when discussing a topic based on the situa-
tion. Part of the skills necessary to commu-
nicate your passion to others is the ability to
determine how much information you
should convey and how enthusiastic you
should be in different situations.
Effective leaders are generally passion-
ate about performance regardless of the situ-
ation. They work steadily toward achieving a
goal with others recognizing that they are
internally motivated. This distinguishes
communicating passion from communicat-
ing frantic excitement that is temporary and
related only to a situation. Passion is consis-
tent and enduring and is demonstrated by
actions as much as by words.
An approach to communicating passion
is to establish a vision for the future and
inform others about the importance and ben-
efits of implementing the vision. This
approach requires that you have a clear
understanding of the short-term and long-
term goals related to your passion. It also
requires that you carefully select the amount
of information you provide to others about
the goals to ensure that they perceive the
way that they will benefit from achieving the
goal.
You should also be aware that others often
find it easier to understand small short-term
goals that are easy to obtain rather than large
goals that are more difficult to achieve.

Y
et, another innocent member of the
African American community has
been abused and murdered by a group of
unsympathetic and perhaps racially bias
bunch of New York City police officers.
In a video obtained by the media, a
white officer Daniel Pantaleo is shown
choking a father of six, Eric Garner, 43
which lead to his death. The autopsy identi-
fied Garners asthma, obesity and hyperten-
sion as also contributing factors in his
death.
As long as we can recall, hundreds of
white New York police and other law
enforcement officers have been picking on
members of the African American commu-
nities. These officers have been accused,
charged and found guilty of various crimes
against ordinary black people.
With some 53% of the entire 34,526-
member police force being, white it would
appear that white cops have no problem in
displaying racial profiling, discrimination,
bias and other form of prejudice against
African Americans.
Despite stringent state and city laws
and regulations, the police continue to
abuse their powers and unfairly target the
African Americans. As in the case of the
stop-and-frisk, they stopped and issued an
excessive number of tickets to innocent
African Americans.
But, these white police officers contin-
ue to break the laws, as in most cases they
are not caught and if caught they can eas-
ily beat the case.
Nonetheless, the leadership of the
police department is dominated by white
officers, with 432 captains, 82% (356) were
white and 18% (76) were minorities and of
10 chiefs, 7 were white and 3 were people
of color.
Whites accounted for 60% of members
in the rank of police officer.
In our observation, both, the Mayor
and the Police Commissioner who he
appointed is always white.
We find it very difficult to believe that
there could be a conspiracy between these
people to oppress and ill-treat African
Americans and other minorities.
However, the vast majority of the
African Americans in New York City are
registered Democrats and are always very
supportive of their politicians as in the case
Mayor Bill de Blasio who captured over
75% of the black votes.
The Mayor should therefore be held
responsible for appointing a Police
Commissioner that continues to tolerate or
fail to control racist cops who unfairly tar-
gets African-Americans.

J
ason Stevens, 41, of 68 Jay
Street, in Brooklyn and the
owner of reBar, a now-shuttered
restaurant located in DUMBO,
has been sentenced to 3 1/3 to 10
years in prison after pleading
guilty last month to grand larce-
ny and criminal tax fraud in con-
nection with stealing approxi-
mately $200,000 in sales tax that
he collected between 2009 and
2012, but failed to remit to the
state.
He also admitted failing to
collect approximately $1.2 mil-
lion in sales tax during the same
period.
Kings County District
Attorney Kenneth P. Thompson
said, Todays sentence sends a
clear message that we will prose-
cute tax cheats and put them in
prison for stealing money from
the people of New York money
that we could use to hire more
police officers and improve our
schools and roadways.
Both Stevens and his corpo-

count of second-degree grand
larceny and four counts of crimi-
nal tax fraud before Acting
Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice
Matthew A. Sciarrino, Jr., who
today sentenced the defendant to
3 1/3 to 10 years in prison.
The District Attorney said
that, according to the investiga-
tion, between 2009 and 2012, the
defendants Stevens and Fulton
Ferry Market operated reBar, a
restaurant located at 147 Front
Street, in DUMBO, Brooklyn,
and collected approximately
$200,000 in sales tax from cus-
tomers that they failed to remit to

BROOKLYN:
A
34-year-old New York City police
officer has been indicted on charges
that he contacted a woman with a pending
application to the New York Police
Department and offered to expedite the
hiring process in return for sex.
The defendant, Delfin Lantigua of
170 E. 4th Street in the Kensington area,
was arraigned Wednesday (August 6) on
charges of third-degree bribe receiving,
second-degree coercion and official mis-
conduct before Brooklyn Supreme Court
Justice Danny Chun in Brooklyn Supreme
Court.
Lantigua faces up to seven years in
prison if convicted.
Kings County District Attorney
Kenneth P. Thompson said that, according
to the investigation, Lantigua, an NYPD
officer since 2005 who is assigned to the
Brooklyn North Task Force, contacted the
applicant via Facebook on February 9,
2014, and told her he could get her hired.
District Attorney Thompson said the
woman contacted the Police Department
and consented to wear a wire when she
met Lantigua at a Dunkin Donuts in
Brooklyn on March 11, 2014. In that meet-
ing, according to the investigation,
Lantigua allegedly demanded multiple
instances of sex from the woman, as well
as $1,000 and other conditions.
The woman agreed to meet Lantigua
at a Brooklyn motel on March 13, 2014,
and when he arrived, Internal Affairs
Bureau officers arrested him.
An indictment is an accusatory instru-
ment and not proof of a defendants guilt.

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC):
T
he coalition People's Partnership
Government, gearing up for a general
election by mid-2015, has introduced legis-
lation providing for a 10-year term limit for
the head of government as well as allowing
voters to recall their elected representatives.
In addition, Prime Minister Kamla
Persad-Bissessar told Parliament recently
that the Constitution Amendment Bill will
also make provisions for a run-off in a gen-
eral election, where the leading candidate
fails to secure more than 50 per cent of the
votes on the first count.
The main Opposition People's National
Movement (PNM) has in the past publicly
disagreed with the measures announced in
Parliament, and its leader, Dr Keith Rowley,
was scheduled to hold a news conference
following the adjournment of the Parliament
to state the party's position on the matter.
Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar said
the new measures were contained in the
2010 manifesto of the four-party coalition
government, headed by the United National
Congress (UNC) and that the constitutional
amendment would provide "more power to
the people".
She told legislators that the new meas-
ures were as a result of the recommenda-
tions of a Constitutional Reform Committee
headed by Legal Affairs Minister Prakash
Ramadhar and leader of the Congress of the
People (COP) party, the second biggest
member in the coalition government.
"The Constitutional Amendment Bill
2014... will propose a term limit for office of
the prime minister, a recall provision and a
run-off poll in elections for the House of
Representatives," she said, adding that these
measures required only a simple majority.

WASHINGTON:
W
ith the Venezuelan economy wors-
ening and residents of Caracas
unable to buy diapers or even toilet paper
due to foreign-exchange shortages, how
much longer will Venezuela be able to
subsidize cheap oil for its political allies
throughout the Caribbean and Central
America.
Last week, energy experts meeting in
Washington discussed that very question.
What happens to the 17 countries who
are members of this program if Caracas
pulls back the generous credit subsidies it
gives members to help them import its
crude oil products? asked Jason
Marczak, deputy director of the Atlantic
Councils Adrienne Arsht Latin America
Center. This is a not-so-distant possibili-
ty given Venezuelas economic situation
and slowing oil production, but its one
Caracas would certainly like to avoid.
This has all the makings of an energy cri-
sis brewing off our shores.
On July 16, the think tank released a
24-page study Uncertain Energy: The
Caribbeans Gamble With Venezuela. To
mark the occasion, it hosted a panel dis-
cussion featuring three experts: David
Goldwyn, the studys author and a former
State Department coordinator of interna-
tional energy affairs; Jorge Pin, who
heads the Center for International Energy
and Environmental Policy at the
University of Texas-Austin, and Jed
Bailey, managing partner at Boston-based
Energy Narrative.
Its almost ten years since Venezuela
announced the PetroCaribe program,
Goldwyn said. PetroCaribe sells oil and
products at marketbenchmarks, but also
provides financing for governments, giv-
ing them long terms and low down pay-
ments so the countries can take that oil
and use the proceeds of those sales either
to invest or save, or more likely, to use for
budget support. Its a credit financing pro-
gram at its core, and for Venezuela, its
been an enormous political success.
However, for PetroCaribe members
themselves, the results have been decid-
edly more mixed, Goldwyn told his audi-
ence. Buying crude oil and products on
cheap credit has given these countries an
enormous debt burden, in some cases 10
to 20 percent of their GDP, he said.
WASHINGTON:
P
resident Barack Obama called on
African nations Wednesday to force-
fully tackle health crises, security chal-
lenges and government corruption that
could stymie the continent's economic
progress, as he concluded an unprecedent-
ed summit.
The summit, aimed in part at cultivat-
ing an Obama legacy on a continent where
his family ties run deep, also marked a
rare return to Washington for former
President George W. Bush, who launched
a $15 billion HIV/AIDS initiative while in
office and has made public health issues in
Africa a priority since leaving the White
House.
Bush's institute partnered with first
lady Michelle Obama to host a daylong
event for spouses of the African leaders.
"There's not many things that convince me
to come back to Washington," said Bush,
who now lives in Dallas and steers clear of
politics. "The first lady's summit, of
course, is one."
While Obama has continued Bush's
signature AIDS program, he has also been
seeking his own legacy-building Africa
initiatives. This week's U.S.-Africa sum-
mit is seen as a cornerstone of that effort,
bringing together leaders from about 50
countries for three days of talks.
A centerpiece of the conference was
an effort to recast the U.S. economic rela-
tionship with Africa away from humani-
tarian aid and toward more equal econom-
ic partnerships. Obama announced $33
billion in new U.S. commitments, mostly
from the private sector, to boost invest-
ment in Africa, home to six of the world's
10 fastest-growing economies.
Yet the summit's final day of discus-
sions underscored the challenges that
could undermine that economic growth.
African nations are still struggling with
the HIV epidemic, malaria, and the current
outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus.
Government corruption remains a persist-
ent problem. And a surge in violent
extremism, particularly in North Africa
and the Sahel region, has sparked interna-
tional concern.
While Obama vowed that the U.S.
would be a strong partner in tackling those
issues, he emphasized a need for Africa to
take the lead, particularly on the security
front.
"Today we can focus on how we can
continue to strengthen Africa's capacity to
meet transitional threats and in so doing
make all of our nations more secure," he
said.
During a private session on security,
leaders were expected to discuss Boko
Haram, the violent Islamist group in
Nigeria that was responsible for the kid-
napping of more than 200 schoolgirls ear-
lier this year. Some have escaped and
returned home, but most remain captive.
As Obama participated in summit
meetings, his wife convened a gathering
of African first ladies, talking about
investments in education, health and eco-
nomic development. She was joined by
Laura Bush, reprising an event the two
American first ladies held last summer in
Tanzania.
Calling Africa "an underappreciated
continent," Mrs. Obama said it was
incumbent upon the world to develop a
better understanding of what it has to
offer.

Q. What is a "notice of evic-
tion"?
A. A notice of eviction is a
written notice from a marshal
or sheriff warning a tenant
that he or she has to move out.
Q. What can a landlord do if
the tenant has stopped pay-
ing rent?
A. If a tenant has stopped
paying rent a landlord can
start a nonpayment case.
First, the landlord must make
a rent demand. If the tenant
doesn't pay, the landlord can
start a case in court. Small
landlords can use the free
DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Form
program to make a written
rent demand or the papers
needed to start a nonpayment
case. For landlords in New
York City, for landlords out-
side New York City.
there is a person living in the
premises who was invited to
stay by the former tenant
before the tenant moved out?
A. If there is someone living
in the premises who started
living there with the tenant's
permission before the tenant
moved out, that person is a
licensee. A landlord can start
a licensee holdover case.
First, the landlord must serve
the licensee with a notice to
quit. If the licensee doesn't
move out, the landlord can
start a case in court. Small
landlords can use the free
program to make a written
notice to quit or the papers
needed to start a licensee
holdover. For landlords in
New York City, for landlords
outside New York City.
there are people living in the
premises who moved in with-
out permission from the
landlord or anyone else?
A. If there are people living in
the premises who moved in
without the landlord's permis-
sion or without permission
from anyone else, these peo-
ple are squatters. A landlord
can start a squatter holdover
case to evict them. First, the
landlord must serve each
squatter with a ten day Notice
to Quit. If the squatters don't
move out, the landlord can
start a court case. Small prop-
erty owners outside New York
City can use the free DIY
(Do-It-Yourself) Form pro-
gram to make a Notice to Quit
or the court papers needed to
start a case.
Q. I received eviction papers

Q. I received eviction papers
called a "Notice of Petition"
and a "Petition" saying a
different reason than non-
payment of rent. What
should I do?
A. The landlord starts a
holdover case to evict a tenant
or another person (also called
an occupant) in your home. A
holdover case is started for a
different reason than nonpay-
ment of rent. For example, a
holdover case is started
because your lease expired, or
you are too noisy, or the ten-
ant gave you the apartment
without telling the landlord,
or you put a wall up without
permission. If you got a
Notice of Petition and
Petition, go to court on the
date listed on the papers.

Q. What happens if a tenant
doesn't answer the legal
papers or a landlord or ten-
ant misses the court date?
A. If a tenant does not answer
the court papers or misses a
court date, the landlord could
win a judgment which could
make an eviction. To ask the
court to stop the eviction and
reopen the case you must
have both a good reason for
not going to court when you
were supposed to, and a good
reason or defense why the
landlord should not win the
case. You can use the free
program to make the court
papers you need. For tenants
in New York City, for tenants
outside New York City. If a
landlord misses a court date,
the case could be thrown out.

Coach of Jamaica's Under-15 Girls' team,
Xavier Gilbert, has expressed satisfaction
with the level of preparation of his squad
ahead of the CONCACAF Under-15
Championship which starts in Grand
Caymantoday and runs until August 17.
The players and officials departed the
island yesterday morning and arrived in
Grand Cayman ahead of their opening
game tomorrow against Belize at the T.E.
McField Sports Complex. Kick-off time is

the level of preparation when we take into

Walters looks set for a third title defence

I
t's hard to imagine what the 2014
Commonwealth Games would have been
like without the Jamaican spark and flavour
and what it would have been like without the
Jamaican superstar Usain Bolt, who brought
stardust to the meet and to the city.
There was enthusiasm, as there was
anxiety, as people got panicky Bolt wasn't
going to show. But he finally took to the
track on Friday in the semi-final heats of the
men's 4x100m, and Glaswegians were
relieved. They had seen their messiah.
And Bolt further obliged a day later in the
final with a scintillating anchor leg to lead
Jamaica to gold in a meet record and world-
leading 37.58 seconds on a wet Hampden
Park track, showing that the weather failed to
put a damper on him and his fired-up relay
teammates of Jason Livermore, Kemar
Bailey-Cole and Nickel Ashmeade.
Jamaica's 22 medals in Glasgow repre-
sent one of the best-ever hauls in the
Commonwealth Games, or any other major
championship for that matter. The team
secured 10 gold, four silver and eight bronze
medals the majority won in track and field
as expected.
Away from Hampden Park, Alia
Atkinson won two of those medals silver
in the 50m breaststroke and bronze in the
100m breaststroke. And, on the final day of
competition on Sunday, the Sunshine Girls
quenched their medal thirst by winning
bronze by defeating England 52-48.
On the track, the two sweeps took the
cake. Firstly, the 400m 1-2-3 with Stephenie
McPherson (50.67) winning gold, Novlene
Williams-Mills (50.86) taking silver, and
Christine Day (51.09) copping bronze.
Seeing the women's success, the men's
200m trio got jealous and decided that they,
too, could repeat this feat. And they obliged.
Rasheed Dwyer (20.14) took gold, with
Warren Weir (20.26) following close for sil-
ver, and Jason Livermore (20.32) with a late
burst completed the sweep.

orris Heights Health Center, a group
of health care providers located in the
Bronx, NY is hosting an exciting free Health
Care Festival and Fun Day on Saturday
August 16 from 10 AM to 4 PM at its newest
Bronx facility at 825 East 233 Street.
The Saturday daytime Bronx bashment
forms part of MHHC's celebration of
National Health Center Week, and this spe-
cial event promises to sizzle with a range of
invigorating activities for all ages.
A huge magnet for the day's activity
will be a rousing live performance by dance-
hall pioneer, veteran and hit machine
Stitchie. Over the years, Stitchie has
enjoyed a dazzing career in both dancehall
and gospel. He has churned out a barrage of
#1 hits including 'Wear Yu Size', 'Natty
Dread', 'Big Broad Hips', 'Night & Day',
'Bun It Dung', 'Dress To Impress' and many
more, and his electrifying showmanship
alongside his lyrical genius have brought
him rave reviews all over the world- from
the dancehalls and church halls of Jamaica
to the mega-size concert stadiums of Europe
and Japan.
He was the first dancehall artist to be
signed by Atlantic Records, and he was
recently named ''Best Performer' at the
recently held Rebel Salute concert in
Jamaica. One of Stitchie's singles, 'Body
Body' promotes a better understanding for
the workings of the human body, and it is
sure to strike a familiar chord at the MHHC
health care event.
But there will be a lot more stewing in
the MHHC Festival and Fun Day pot. The
facility will be offering free screenings for a
number of health issues including HIV,
blood pressure and glucose, and medical
professionals will be on hand to offer guid-
ance and information to attendees who have
questions and concerns.
There will be loads of fun stuff too that
will be simply too good to miss- free hair
cuts, face painting, a rising stars competi-
tion, a dance contest, music, food, ice cream
for the kids, giveaways, and a number of
New York City radio stations broadcasting
live from the event. Residents of the com-
munity are urged to come out early to make
the most of the day.
MHHC has a heritage of providing first
class health care for Caribbean American,
Hispanic and African communities in the
Bronx for over thirty years, and the compa-
ny is continuing that outstanding and impec-
cable tradition as it expands and grows. For

HARD WORK,
HONESTY, INTEGRITY
Co-Founders, Vincent and Jeanette HoSang
credit this major milestone anniversary and
their many successes to Gods guidance,
passionate and dedicated staff and the loyal
commitment of their many invaluable cus-
tomers. From inception, we were con-
vinced that the only way we could accom-
plish our many goals was through Gods
guidance, said Vincent HoSang. We made
a real life commitment, knowing that we had
an obligation to our staff and customers and
to operate business with these basic funda-
mental principles: hard work, honesty and
integrity.
Many of our customers and employees
have been around from day one, before I was
born, reflected Sabrina HoSang, Chief
Operating Officer, CFD. She said, this kind
of longevity and commitment speak to her
parents integrity and character. It also
gives me a great sense of pride, knowing that
as immigrants from Jamaica, my parents
have made such an indelible mark on the
American society. She emphasized that the
differences they have made, not only as
business leaders, but also as philanthropists -
touching lives in the different communities
here and in the Caribbean, make her feel
blessed to be their daughter.
HIGHEST SAFETY STANDARDS
Famous for producing authentic
Jamaican products under the most rigorous
food safety and quality guidelines, the com-
panies are deeply rooted in the words of
their motto, Quality is Our Priority.
This obsession with quality and safety
has earned Rockland County headquartered,
CFD the coveted Safe Quality Food
Institutes highest achievement award SQF
Level 3. Additionally, the specialty-food
manufacturers growth has been staggering
with its patty output jumping significantly
from a few hundreds per day in the early
days, to approximately forty thousand
(40,000) per hour in present day. A key
attribute that has propelled the company into
first place among Jamaican frozen-food
manufacturers and the Jamaican Patty indus-
try globally.
The Mount Vernon located RCB brand
has also experienced tremendous growth. It
has undergone a brand extension from
Hardo bread, bullas and buns to a wide vari-
ety of cakes, tarts and snacks.
NEW HAND-HELD POT PIES
Although best known for their signature
products, the HoSangs recently introduced
a new line of puff pastries including a revo-
lutionary hand-held pot pie, which has found
its way into mainstream markets. Produced
under the Sabrinas Delights brand, the pot
pies are uniquely designed half-moon
shaped, flaky pastry turnovers filled with
chunky delicious meats, vegetables and
gravy. Other puff pastry flavors are: Three
Cheese, Chicken Parmesan, Apple
Cinnamon, Mango, Guava, Peach Cobbler
and Plantain Tarts.
IMPLEMENTING STRATEGIC
INITIATIVES IN DISTRIBUTION
As the companies look to the future with
optimism and anticipation, one major goal is
to remain focused on implementing strategic
initiatives in distribution: making all prod-
ucts available and accessible to consumers
nationwide. In my travels, if I can reduce
the number of people who have asked me for
a distribution point by ten, I know I am on to
something, said the CEO. All this, while
simultaneously remaining resolute in manu-
facturing products of the best quality and
safety standards.

C
aribbean cuisine has slowly been gain-
ing a reputation as a bastion of food
innovation. And I don't doubt that for a bit. I
have been dining in some of the best
Caribbean restaurants for many years now,
and I must say it's quite an experience.
This so-called food revolution happen-
ing in New York has seen many of the coun-
trys best new restaurants sprouting like
mushrooms in this lush city. And for those of
you searching for a culinary experience like
no other, look no further than A Place 2 Go.
Nestled in New Rochelles downtown
business district in the lower Westchester
area, A Place 2 Go is the brainchild of chef
Edwin Chrissy Crisp and his wife Chyrisse
Crisp. After coming up with names like
Sugar Cane, The Melting Pot and even
Frying Pan, they finally decided on the name
A Place 2 Go since there was nowhere in
New Rochelle for young professionals to
hangout.
Being a plated chef for over 14 years,
Chef Crisp gives credit to his dad Edwin
Crisp, Sr., who he worked for in his estab-
lishment Chriss Place as a chef and his
brothers who he opened C3 with. Inspired by
his Jamaican culture, and watching his moth-
er prepare feasts for her family and friends,
Chrissy dreams blossomed into reality when
he opened his own establishment A Place 2
Go in 2012.
Its diverse, modern interior dcor,
allows the simplistic beauty of the food to
really shine, though beauty isnt the only
thing bringing folks to A Place 2 Go.
The restaurant can be found, buzzed
with excited energy and seemingly satisfied
patrons, from family to professionals to peo-
ple just sitting at the bar listening to the live
band that plays on Thursdays and Fridays.
The Menu is inspired by traditional
Caribbean Island cuisines along with
Southern American Soul. For starters you
can enjoy Cod Fish Cakes, Jerk Calamari,
and Crab Cakes.
Signature entre dishes like Oxtail, Jerk
Pork, Red Snapper (prepared Escoveitch,
Steamed or Stewed) and the award winning
Baby Back ribs. And while waiting you can
enjoy signature cocktails like A Place 2 Go
Rum Punch (my favorite) Coco-Pine Martini
or Tropical Long Island.
A Place 2 Go has an amazing staff and
is available for catering and a great place for
small group gatherings, or as the go to place
for business meetings.
As Mr. Lowell Hawthorne the president
and CEO of Golden Krust Bakery said its
his favorite place because he likes the food
and the ambiance. Chef Chrissy has a say-
ing you cant know where youre going,
until you know where you are coming from,
so he pays homage to all Jamaican chefs.
Chrissy has been recognized for his out-
standing work by receiving many awards
with the latest one being, Best of
Westchester 2014. When Chrissy isnt busy
cooking, you can find him playing pool and
enjoying the company of his wife and kids.

JAMAICA 52ND INDEPENDENCE FEATURE

n February 1962, a new Constitution
was approved by the Legislature and the
Premier Norman Manley called General
Elections.
Alexander Bustamente was elected in
April and became the first Prime Minister
of Jamaica. On August 6, 1962, Jamaica
became an Independent Nation and a
member of the British Commonwealth.
Jamaica becoming an Independent
Nation, now meant that Britain, no longer
controlled the affairs of the country. It was
now the responsibility of the newly elect-
ed Prime Minister and the locally elected
Cabinet.
Independence also meant that a
Constitution, symbols, emblems, an army,
Jamaican currency and passports had to be
developed for the country.
As an Independent Nation, Jamaica
assigns Ambassadors overseas who repre-
sent the country. They sign treaties on
behalf of Jamaica and become members of
various international organisations. This is
important, as it gives Jamaica equal rights
on various issues relating to international
trade, policies and treaties.
Every year on August 6, (previously
first Monday in August), Jamaicans cele-
brate the removal of our dependence on
Britain, to control specific functions of the
country. At this time we also honour all
those persons who were responsible for
the transfer of power.
Jamaica is a Commonwealth realm,
with Queen Elizabeth II as its monarch
and head of state. Her appointed represen-
tative in the country is the Governor-
General of Jamaica, currently Patrick
Allen.
The head of government and Prime
Minister of Jamaica is Portia Simpson-
Miller. Jamaica is a parliamentary consti-
tutional monarchy with legislative power
vested in the bicameral Parliament of
Jamaica, consisting of an appointed Senate
and a directly elected House of
Representatives.

By Portia Simpson-Miller
Prime Minister
M
y fellow Jamaicans at home and in the
Diaspora, I greet you on this the 52nd
Anniversary of our Independence.
Fifty-two years since our flag was first
hoisted; fifty-two years since we assumed
full responsibility for our national affairs.
Fifty-two years since that hopeful and
expectant generation passed on to us the
vibrancy of a dream of a new Jamaica: a
Jamaica of equal opportunity for all; a
Jamaica where justice would roll down like
a river, and a Jamaica for which all of us
could be proud.
A Jamaica in which all of us could truly
say, This is Jamaica, my Jamaica. A true
ownership society. A Jamaica in which all of
us would have a sense of place and belong-
ing, not just a place of abode.
F,ounding Father Rt. Excellent Norman
Manley put it well in speaking of his vision
of this new Jamaica: All efforts will be
wasted unless the masses are steadily taken
along a path in which they will feel more
and more that this place is their home, that
it is their destiny. They will then do more for
it work more, more effort, more thinking,
more sacrifice, more discipline and more
honesty
There is a tremendous difference
between living in a place and belonging to it
and feeling that your own life and destiny is
bound up in the life and destiny of that
place.
What profound words! How deeply rel-
evant to the theme of our Independence cel-
ebrations this year: This is Jamaica, my
Jamaica.
It is only when we truly internalize the
view that this is Jamaica, my Jamaica that
we can give our all to this rock.
We have to unite for a common purpose.
We must have a sense that we are, indeed,
stakeholders.
We have to take responsibility and be
accountable for our actions.
This is true sovereignty and independ-
ence. This is Jamaica, my Jamaica means
that in the face of our most severe drought
in recent memory, we must take personal
responsibility for conserving water.
We must make the necessary sacrifices.
The issues we face are national and broad-
based. Because this is our Jamaica each
Jamaican must own and contribute to miti-
gating them.
A sense of personal responsibility and
ownership captured by our independence
theme, This is Jamaica, my Jamaica
means that we take responsibility for our
communities and help to keep them safe.
This is Jamaica, my Jamaica
I
ndependence marked a major
milestone in our journey towards
nationhood and the creation of our
Jamaican State. That journey start-
ed with the arrival of Columbus in
1492 and the subsequent conquest,
exploitation and establishment of a
system of enslavement and a plan-
tation society under European
colonial rule which lasted for 470
years until our Independence 1962.
After World War II European
Empires receded as their
economies and armies tried to
rebuild and nationalist fervour in
the colonies grew.
Colonialism as mechanism for
social, economic and political con-
trol of conquered or claimed lands
had outlived its usefulness in the
context of emerging poles of power
in America and Asia. The process
of redefining the World order had
begun with former colonies claim-
ing their independence either
through struggle or negotiation or
both.
Independence in this era did
not mean that former colonies were
now on equal power footing in the
international systems.

A
s we reflect on our journey as
an independent people since
1962, we know that despite the
problems and hardships we have
faced, we have much for which to
be thankful.
The bedrock of positive ener-
gy in our national philosophy
derived from our Flag, Our Motto,
our National Pledge and our
National Anthem explains why we
have kept this ship Jamaica afloat,
and why we shall attain our vision
for our beloved country.
Our Flag reminds us daily that
the sun shines, the land is green
and our people are strong and cre-
ative. Our Motto reaffirms that
regardless of our historic origins,
our economic status, our religious
and political beliefs, our gender
and age, we are One People. Our
National Pledge speaks to our des-
tiny under God, to increase in
beauty, fellowship and prosperity.
Our National Anthem reminds
us of the source of our strength, our
wisdom and vision, our direction
and our protection.
I acknowledge that in every
sector there are issues which are
yet to be resolved, but I am con-
vinced of our core commitment to
building a better Jamaica. This
fuels my belief that there is nothing
wrong with Jamaica that cannot be
fixed by what is right with
Jamaica!
Today, as we celebrate our
Independence Anniversary, I thank
all Jamaicans who contribute to a
better Jamaica at every level.
Jamaican can step up inna life

Building a better Jamaica
J
amaica continues to enjoy the
benefit of a strong national spir-
it. It is a spirit that nourishes
unmatched popular music talent,
nurtures athletic and intellectual
prowess, and cultivates a sense of
determination in the face of eco-
nomic and social difficulties.
Pause, for example, to consid-
er our national love for track and
field glory: which country of com-
parable size can boast our caval-
cade of Olympian and world-beat-
ing successes over the years? We
delight in the exploits of todays
champions who lift our spirits by
their commitment and success, and
we give glory to the legacy on
which our international achieve-
ments are constructed.
At the same time, our national
athleticism is built on an important
foundation of broad participation,
through the Boys and Girls
Championships, frequent track and
field meetings, and school plan-
ning from the earliest levels.
And so it is with sports, so too
it is with music, an area in which
stars from the rocksteady, ska, reg-
gae and dance hall era have
defined us a people and delighted
the world with our culture: Bob
Marley and the Wailers, the I-
Threes, Singa D Brown, U-Roy,
Gregory Isaacs, Delroy Wilson,
Sugar Minott, Alton Ellis, Byron
Lee and the Dragonaires, Cynthia
Schloss, Tessanne Chin, Eric
Donaldson, and a long stream of
other exemplars of musical excel-
lence from our homeland. This
excellence also manifests itself in
literary pursuits.
Our poets and playwrights,
novelists and journalists, essayists
and editors, invite us daily into the
community of words.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY:
N
ew York is ranked 20th in the
nation for school systems
quality by personal finance social
network WalletHub in a survey
released last Monday.
WalletHub measured each
state in 12 key metrics and broke
them into two categories: school
system rank and education output
and safety.
The Empire State performed
well in the output and safety cate-
gory, ranking seventh overall.
However, New York was simply
mediocre when it came to school
system rank, coming in 27th.
Overall, neighboring states
performed better than New York
with New Jersey taking the top
spot, Vermont ranking third,
Pennsylvania 10th and
Connecticut 13th.
The bottom five states in the
rankings were Nevada, Louisiana,
Alabama, Mississippi and
Washington, D.C., respectively.

Natural methods for dry hair treatment
Dry hair can mean many different
things. The hair can be fine and limp but
dry, or coarse and curly but dry. It can
also be oily at the roots and dry at the
ends (dry ends).
Hair also tends to dry out when you
grow older because the natural level of oil
production from the bodys sebaceous
glands is reduced.
There can be many other causes for dry
hair. One ironic cause can be too much
salty, chlorinated, or sudsy water.
Other common causes include excess
shampoo, coloring, perms, excessive
blow drying, curling irons, and too
much exposure to wind and sun. All these
can result in parched hair, arid and fly-
away locks.
Two important causes of dry hair are
genetics, and improper diet lacking essen-
tial fatty acids, iron, and zinc.
If you were born with curly or frizzy
hair, it may tend to be dry because it is
overly porous.

usic Economic Empowerment
Production in association with Sam
Gotti and Swizzle Team will host Stars In
Action on Saturday, August 16 at Amazura,
91-12, 144th Place in Queens, New York.
The event will feature a solid mixture of
Jamaican culture including hard hitting
dancehall music and dub poetry.
We made an effort to give a diverse
offering and the feedback so far has been
great said Clive Dennis, promoter of the
show.
Lady Saw who is like a chameleon in
the dancehall, having the unique ability to
deliver 'lovie dovie' tracks like Give Me A
Reason or hardcore songs like Bare As
You Dare and Stab Out Mi Meat. She is
also just as popular for social commentary
songs like No Less A Woman and Heaven.
This is just what New York fans will be
receiving when she takes centerstage at the
Amazura.
Turbulence whose hit song Notorious
is still resonating with music lovers should
have some cultural and lovers rock songs
for the ladies. Biggaton who hails from
Mandeville, Jamaica has recorded some
serious dub poems, which hits to the heart
of the matter.
His single Crime Stopper and Medical
Cannabis should give patrons something to
chew on. It will be a nostalgic dancehall
vibe when 80s deejay Nardo Ranks hits the
stage. Also featured on the bill are talents
out of New York Flava, Embasc and
Deyansa.
To ensure the event gets maximum
visibility, promotions/marketing expert
David Fat Forward Warren was brought
on board to assist the project.
We have been able to execute an
impressive grassroots campaign to ensure
all music lovers in the tri-state area are
aware of the project. We have discount
tickets on sale that will run at select stores
plus we have blanked the street with fliers.
I am also happy to report that the radio fra-
ternity in NY is solidly behind this project
so I am expecting a full house at the
Amazura he said.
The event will be hosted by the num-
ber one Caribbean radio jock in New York,
Dahved Levy of urban WBLS, 107.5FM,
Catchcha Fyah and Stick-A-Pin. You real-
ly dont want to hear about this event sec-
ond hand, so come out and enjoy it, said
Dennis.

WOMAN SEEKING MAN
C
an love at first sight really happen? Is it
possible to fall head-over-heels for a
guy you just met? Or is it an emotion that
you have to tamp down to be on the safe side
of things?
The answer to whether love at first sight
can really happen may be shocking and con-
fusing.
The answer to the question is both Yes
and No. This is simply because falling in
love with a new guy isn't as simple as it
sounds, it's a complex emotion that needs to
be handled carefully. If you don't watch
yourself, you might be heading into quick,
hard heartache.
First, let's deal with the Yes. Yes, love at
first sight does happen. In fact, many
healthy, meaningful relationships today
started when both partners fell in love with
each other right from the start. This is main-
ly due to physical attraction, the ice-breaker
for every relationship.
Physical attraction is very important,
because it's how nature designed us to make
sure we pick the best possible partners for
ourselves.
It's also what makes men and women
want to get to know each other better. This
is always an important first step in a good
relationship.
But physical attraction is never enough
to make a relationship last for any good
duration of time. This is where the "No"
comes in, falling in love with a new guy at
first sight may be just infatuation if you
don't have that special emotional bond:
Chemistry.
Without chemistry, that emotional
attraction that forms the foundation of a
long-term relationship, cannot last. Falling
in love at the first meeting is only a fleeting
emotion that will get your hopes up. But if
your personalities and chemistry are right
and lives are a perfect fit with each other,
then that means it really is love at first
sight.
Until next time Live, Love, Laugh

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
Dear Divine Diva:
M
y oldest brother, "Mark." has been
dealing with drug and alcohol issues
for more than 30 years. While I am not
wealthy by any standards, barring any
major catastrophes, my wife and I will be
comfortable in our retirement.
Mark's adult kids are having problems
taking care of him, and they, as well as my
other adult siblings, seem to think I am
"harsh and callous" for not helping. What
they don't know is that, as a child,
Mark sexually abused me, and when I
was in my 20s and in the military stationed
overseas, he slept with my (now ex-wife).
What they have also conveniently for-got-
ten is that a few years ago, I gave Mark
several thousand dollars' worth of equip-
ment to start a business. Instead of starting
the business, he sold the equipment to buy
booze and drugs..
Am I being too harsh? If not, how
many of the details should I reveal to let
the family know why I feel so little com-
passion? - Fed Up In Brooklyn
Dear Fed Up:
Perhaps it's time you got it ALL off your
chest. Considering everything that has
transpired, I don't think you're being harsh
or callous by not chipping in. And I see no
reason why you should remain silent about
the way you have been sexually and finan-
cially abused by your brother. Good Luck.

Brothers' Shady Side
Remains Hidden From Family
Dear Divine Diva:
I
am a young African American woman in
a very good job, but I have a very low
self-esteem. My confidence is always
shaken and I have poor relationships with
some of my friends and family members.
What can I do to improve my low-self
esteem? - MT, Bronx
Dear MT:
A variety of factors can contribute to low
self-esteem, including (but certainly not
limited to) poor relationships with parents
or siblings, being the victim of a physical-
ly, sexually, or mentally abusive relation-
ship, or experiencing racist or discrimina-
tory practices in your personal or profes-
sional life. No matter what the reason,
don't ever give up hope because your self-
esteem can always be improved. You will
be pleasantly amazed when you see how
improved self-esteem can change your
life! High self-esteem evolves from view-
ing yourself as a unique, valuable, and
worthwhile person, and is not dependent
on how other people view you.
You are your greatest asset and can
start improving upon your self-esteem
today by: Believing in yourself; Letting go
of past hurts and forgiving others; Loving
and accepting yourself unconditionally;
Believing in your dreams and persisting to
make your dreams become reality;
Planning and setting attainable goals in
life; Meditating and spending a few quiet
moments by yourself each day; Visualize:
See yourself achieving and prospering in
life; Talk to yourself each day: Internalize
positive affirmations that help you believe
in yourself.
Coping with my low self-esteem!
ARIES (March 21-April
19): The week continues to be
very sociable and mainly pos-
itive. Monday brings a chance
to connect with others to
brainstorm, get feedback, and
interact for romance or busi-
ness purposes. Take it easy
around midweek, when a Full
Moon in Scorpio could arouse
passions and intense feelings.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20): You might want to invest
in improving your health and
overall wellness by purchas-
ing some exercise equipment
or a gym membership.
Midweek could have a deep
and profound resonance, as
the Moon in Scorpio can
bring hidden feelings into the
open.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Your curiosity could peak,
spurring creative ideas or
enticing you to consider dat-
ing if you've been out of the
loop for a while. You're in
your element now and eager
to enjoy the pleasures of life.
You might want to lighten
your schedule around the
midweek Full Moon in
Scorpio, as feelings may be
running high. It would help to
ease off the accelerator and go
with the flow.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): Though creative conflict
still appears in your life, you
might be motivated to start on
an idea you've been mulling
over for some time. Don't let
the Full Moon in your cre-
ative sector keep you from
moving ahead. It's in Scorpio,
so fear or doubt could assail
you right when you need con-
fidence and enthusiasm in
order to get ahead.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Conversations lead to produc-
tive encounters, collabora-
tion, and opportunities to get
involved in creative projects.
Take it easy on Wednesday, as
intense feelings could stir up
issues at home. This isn't the
time to make snap decisions
or say anything you could
regret later.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Business deals and career
opportunities may show up
this week, enhancing your
prospects if you're willing to
step outside your comfort
zone. Connecting with key
people, researching options,
and gathering information can
help you reach an important
goal.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Although relationships could
be a bit of a challenge, there's
also plenty of sizzle showing
up in your social life.
Opportunities to explore
groups or move in new circles
could be a revelation. Try to
avoid splurging at the time of
the midweek Full Moon, even
if it does help you feel better.
Chances are you'll regret it
the next day.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23- Nov. 21):
You may be thinking about
life's deeper issues, as a focus
on spiritual and emotional
matters could encourage a
period of reflection. Perhaps
what you really want is for
harmony and balance to per-
vade your everyday exis-
tence. Don't let the Full Moon
in Scorpio throw you off.
Although powerful emotions
may arise, simply feeling
them can help them dissipate.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21): You seem to be on
a roll, especially as your
social life and love life are
concerned. Interactions with
many people can be the cata-
lyst to some exciting things
happening for you. Be willing
to let your curiosity lead the
way and more exciting things
will come to you. Also,
opportunities for romance
seem particularly appealing.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19): You may be curious
to explore options for new
contracts, jobs, and work in
general. With Mercury in
Gemini and making some
spectacular aspects this week,
it's a good time to advertise
your skills and services, apply
for interviews, and get things
up and running in general.
There is also a lot happening
on the home front, with the
chance of a surprise visitor
showing up.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Opportunities for
romance, business, and any-
thing else you can think of
could be there for you this
week. Researching your
options by surfing online
could result in rich pickings.
Try not to be swayed by the
midweek Full Moon in
Scorpio concerning an impor-
tant career move or goal.
Intense energies could cause
you to doubt your motives -
or someone else's. Reflect
carefully before you make
any important decisions. .
PISCES (Feb. 19- March
20): Home and family mat-
ters seem positive, as upbeat
transits may coincide with
family get-togethers or cele-
brations. You might want to
splurge on items for your
home. A spontaneous deci-
sion to upgrade the decor
could have you considering
paint, carpets, or curtains.

Healthy Lifestyle to
prevent Breast Cancer
B
reast cancer is more common in African
American women, and we are most like-
ly to die from the disease due to late stage
detection and poorer stage specific survival.
Here are a few guidelines and suggestions
for cancer prevention as outlined by the
American Institute for Cancer Research:
Be physically active for at least 30
minutes every day. This consists of moderate
activity, such as a brisk walk, that gets your
heart beating a bit faster and makes you
breathe more deeply. Also include at least
15-30 minutes of relaxing, de-stressing exer-
cises such as mediation, yoga, Qigong or Tai
Chi.
Avoid sugary drinks such as sodas and
other high fructose corn syrup products.
Limit consumption of energy-dense foods
(particularly processed foods high in added
sugar, low in fiber or high in fat).
Eat a variety of vegetables, fruits,
whole grains and legumes such as beans.
Choose a diet with many types of plant-
based foods. Try to substitute dried beans
and peas for meat at some meals each week.
Try to eat at least five colorful servings
a day of fruits and vegetables, including cit-
rus fruits and dark-green and deep-yellow
vegetables, as these contain natural health-
promoting substances called phytochemi-
cals.
Limit consumption of red meats and
avoid processed meats. Limit high-fat foods,
particularly those from animal sources.
Avoid beef, pork and lamb.
Choose lower-fat milk and dairy prod-
ucts. Also reduce the amount of fat in your
meals by choosing a lower-fat cooking
method, such as baking and broiling.
If you consume alcoholic beverages at
all, please limit them two servings for
men and one serving for women per day.
Limit consumption of salty foods and
foods processed with sodium. Try to choose
salt-cured, smoked and pickled foods less
often.
Eat more high fiber foods such as
whole grain breads and cereals each day.
Check with registered dietitian to help
you personalize a nutritious, balanced eating
plan.

E
bola viral disease is a severe, often fatal
disease that affects humans and some ani-
mals (like monkeys, gorillas, and chim-
panzees). It is caused by the Ebola virus.
Ebola virus is spread by directly touching an
infected person or animals skin, blood or
body fluids. It cannot be spread simply by
being near someone who is infected.
Researchers believe that most Ebola out-
breaks start when an animal carrying the
Ebola virus infects a person, who can then
infect other people.
Since the virus can survive on surfaces
for a short period of time, people can be
infected by touching objects (like needles or
bed sheets) that contain infected blood or
body fluids.
During outbreaks, the disease can spread
quickly within health care settings if workers
do not wear protective gear and take proper
precautions. People only become contagious
after they begin to have symptoms, such as
fever.
What are the symptoms of Ebola?
The disease usually starts with an abrupt
fever, possibly with headache and joint and
muscle aches. Other symptoms may include:
Nausea, Weakness, Diarrhea, Vomiting,
Stomach pain, Lack of appetite
Some patients may also experience:
Rash, Red eyes, Hiccups, Cough, Sore throat
Chest pain, Problems breathing, Problems
swallowing, Bleeding inside and outside the
body.
When do symptoms first appear?
Symptoms usually appear 8 to 10 days after
exposure but may appear anywhere from 2 to
21 days after exposure.
How serious is Ebola?
The severity of the disease varies, but
over 50% of patients with Ebola have died
during past outbreaks. Researchers do not
fully understand why some people who
become sick with Ebola recover while others
do not.
Where has Ebola been reported?
In the current outbreak, nearly all con-
firmed Ebola cases were reported in three
African countries: Guinea, Liberia and Sierra
Leone.
Since the situation in East Africa is
evolving, visit the Centers for Disease Control
and Preventions (CDCs) website for the
most up-to-date information on countries
affected by Ebola outbreak.

ere's a few takeaway tips
you can learn from Oprah's
international success.
1. Give back to your fans. Like
any great brand, Oprah has made
her fans feel valued. In her
"Oprah's Favorite Things" seg-
ment, Winfrey has given away
everything from camcorders, to
croissants, to cars. A good lesson
to businesses that an unexpected
surprise for your customers can
go a long way to gaining loyalty.
2. Take risks and get attention.
In 1988, Winfrey invited a group
of neo-Nazis from California to
Chicago to appear on her show.
Although Winfrey later said she
regretted the controversial deci-
sion, the move vaunted her into
the national spotlight and showed
her viewers that she was not
afraid to take risks.
3. Explore new verticals.
Winfrey started her career in
1983 with a gig hosting Chicago's
low-rated WLS-TV's half-hour
morning talk show, AM Chicago.
Since then, Oprah has scaled her
business into new media verticals
including her eponymous TV
show, O: The Oprah Magazine
(which launched in 2000), the
OWN television network (found-
ed in 2011), as well as apps for
both her magazine and TV show.
4. Reveal your personal story.
Some companies put up a shield
to hide the entrepreneur from the
brand: not Oprah. The talk show
host has made a number of very
personal revelations, most
notably that she was sexually
assaulted when she was nine.
Though not every entrepreneur
needs to share their entire life
story, the message is clear: trans-
parency between you and your
business offers a sense of trust to
your customers.
5. Get celebrities on your side.
Besides the Oscars, few events
have generated the number of
celebrity appearances than
Oprah's surprise farewell. Part of
Oprah's ability to generate sup-
port from celebrities has been her
tell-it-like-is style of interviewing
on her show. "You have given me
love, support, wisdom and, most
of all, the truth," Maria Shriver
told Oprah during the farewell
episode.
6. Become an influencer. Time
magazine talked with Craig
Garthwaite, a professor at
Northwestern University's
Kellogg School of Management
and a bona fide Oprah expert,
about Oprah's success at market-
ing. And just how big is her influ-
ences? "For example, the novel
Anna Karenina sold 11,648 units
in the 12 weeks before inclusion
in the Book Club," Garthwaite
says. "In the 12 weeks following
inclusion, Anna Karenina sold
643,122 unitsa staggering
increase of 5,421 percent."
7. Know when to quit. After 25
years, Oprah finally decided it
was time to call it quits to focus
on her television network, OWN.
The message is clear enough for
entrepreneurs: don't be afraid to
end on a high note.

The themes and titles of Summers
paintings are transcendental, with titles
like---The Cosmic Drama, The Archetype
of Creation, The Supreme Alchemy, The
Portal to The Beyond, within The Divine
Heart, and The Innermost Landhe energy,
colors, forms, and composition com-
pellingly draw the viewer to relate at a
level deeper and truer than intellect that is
present in all of us.
Seekers have been expressing the Joy
and Reality of their experiences with tran-
scendent realms using different mediums;
speaking, writing, singing, music, dancing,
silence, painting, sculpting, etc. She is nat-
urally gifted to express through painting.
Summer has exhibited her art in sever-
al galleries and international exhibitions
since 2011. A New York art organization
Creatives Rising, who annually feature top
artists in the world selected Summer in
2013 in the top fifty artists from diverse art
genres and displayed her work on their
video billboard and in their art gallery in
Long Island City, NY.
On July 24, 2014, three of Summers
works were also chosen to be presented on
two of Times Squares largest video bill-
boards in NYC. Light, Space and Time pre-
sented Summer with the Special Category
recognition twice in 2013 for their gallery
presentations of All Women Art
Competition and Abstracts.
In 2014 the prestigious Silvermine
Arts Center in New Canaan, CT chose
Summer as one of 47 semifinalists out of
500 in their juried art exhibition - AoNE. In
2014 Kilmat Art, NY chose one of
Summers paintings to be showcased in
their gallery Ocular Diversity.
Most recently, Coohaus Art, NY
selected Summer as one of eight artists in
their juried exhibition of I am Talking to
You.
Presently her works are being catego-
rized under genres likeabstract expres-
sionism and abstract impressionism. sum-
mer does not agree with this categorization
as she feels her art is objective, as real as
the concrete realities of the phenomenal
world without any distortion or exaggera-
tion by the mind. She says that it represents
experienceable facts of a deeper Universal
Reality, which is the source of everything
that exists, and which science and mysti-
cism have continued to explore into.
She further adds that the need to
accept and know this Reality is increasing-
ly being felt in the world today and life
without it has begun losing meaning. She
has accepted the challenge to have her
unique art recognized as representational
under a new genre she has named Pure
Realism.
Summer was born and raised in India
within a spiritual family. This special envi-
ronment inspired her to seek the Ultimate
Reality of life. During early childhood
drawing, sketching, and painting came
intuitively and naturally to her.
She continued to self learn Fine-arts
and went on to complete her Masters in
Philosophy. She came to the USA in 2009
and began studying art formally at the
National Academy School, New York City.
Summer decided to live here as she saw it
as the most conducive place to evolve her
art and have it recognized.
Art experts have reviewed her paint-
ings and corroborated her style as unique.
Summer however feels indebted to
Creation for this gift of the ability to
express deep Truths of The Supreme
Reality.
She says that her art is unique not
because art critics evaluate it by their yard-
sticks, but since it will help anyone who
relates with it to seek to connect with The
Infinite Source of Life. Any gifted creativ-
ity she feels should not be used only for
self-gratification but for others as well.
