According to Forbes and Inc. Magazine , Joe Polish is "One of the most connected people in business.” He’s the leader of Genius Network, which is one of―if not the most―elite and exclusive entrepreneurial masterminds in the world. In mid-2020, Joe started telling people that he was going to disappear during all of 2021. He was going to take a 12-month sabbatical. During that time, he would not be answering his phone. He would not be available to Genius Network members. No one should expect to hear from him. Initially, I was a bit surprised and also somewhat skeptical. How was this going to be possible? Joe is always connected. He’s got literally thousands of people that utilize his knowledge, skills, and network. But as 2021 came closer, he showed no signs of backing out.

This story is co-published with Capital & Main Mourners came to view Fred Hampton's bodyin a small Oak Park, Illinois, funeral home shortly after his killing by the Chicago police in December 1969. He was only 21 years old. Black Panther sentries surrounded the building in their black leather jackets and black berets as I led a small group of white teenagers in the line that snaked through the sanctuary. When we got to the open casket, we saw Fred laid out with a rifle, beads and a copy of the Black Panther paper under his arm.

I was a YMCA youth worker in 1968-69 outreaching to kids in Cicero and Berwyn, two self-described whites-only Chicago suburbs of mostly Eastern European families.

All they knew about Black people was the vitriol they … [Read more...] about Remembering ‘Judas and the Black Messiah’: What You Should Know about the Real Fred Hampton

At 6 a.m. Friday, the 15th day of the first lunar month, Ly A Ton, 62, woke early to prepare offerings, including fresh flowers, fruit, incense, boiled chicken and fried cakes ( jian dui ) in front of his house on Tran Hung Dao Street in District 5. Instead of flocking to a Chinese-built pagoda with his offerings and burning incense to the gods as in previous years, Ton stayed home and set up a table to worship the deities for fear of gathering in crowds amid the new Covid-19 outbreak that began in the country in late January. He then hung red pieces of paper bearing Chinese characters on his walls to pray for peace and good fortune.

SEOUL: South Korea's ruling party has called for the country to buy millions of additional COVID-19 vaccine doses after a spike in infection numbers raised concerns about the government's existing plans. South Korea already plans to secure enough doses to vaccinate 30 million people, or about 60 per cent of the population, but Democratic Party lawmakers said they would appropriate funds to buy doses for at least 44 million people. "The party plans to allocate an additional 1.3 trillion won (US$1.2 billion) to next year's budget," an official with Democratic Party lawmaker Lee Nak-yon's office told Reuters.
