Artisanal - Terrance Brennan’s French brasserie in Murray Hill - serves "comfort food" and is a "mecca" for cheese lovers.
Adam was born to a multi-talented beauty queen Mother and a Father who, in addition to being a US Army Spy and a Counter-Intelligence Special Agent, was also a highly accomplished entrepreneur. Adam was taught at a young age that, in both life and business, loyalty is a requirement for success. He’s had the honor of working directly with his father in several of the family businesses. In fact, this is where he learned crucial entrepreneurial skills and honed his talents with international business strategies and venture capitalism.
Adam earned his Bachelors of Science Degree in International Business and Marketing from the University of Utah. He was hand-picked by the President of the University’s renowned School of Business to compete with dozens of other ambitious nationwide-graduates for the opportunity to secure a lucrative job within a prestigious Fortune 100 company.
Adam‘s hard work and creativity helped him land this job of a lifetime. He obtained incredible business experience there and spent years innovating, improving processes and setting sales records. Although this dream job in Traditional Corporate America was a fun challenge for him, and something he truly enjoyed mastering, Adam’s natural entrepreneurial spirit kept nudging him to do something more significant with his time and talents.
Since 2001, Adam has been involved in the Health and Wellness Industry as a successful Entrepreneur, Broker, Product Developer and Manufacturer of Cosmeceutical products. During his career, he has worked with some of the most recognizable Fortune 500 businesses along with many top international Network Marketing companies. Adam has consistently proven his unique ability to help his clients achieve their goals through creative Distribution-Channel Placement, innovative Product Development and custom Manufacturing. Adam currently owns three profitable businesses.
Admittedly, Adam was not initially a fan of Network Marketing. He did not understand the business model because it was new to him. However, once he learned that the REAL focus of Direct Sales is to help average people get a taste of entrepreneurialism --- with minimal risk and at a low cost --- Adam was absolutely convinced of the potential with Multi-Level Marketing.
Since joining the company as one of the original 11 founding distributors, Adam has discovered that many of his life-goals truly do align perfectly with Network Marketing. Adam enjoys helping others find significance. Adam is most grateful for the complete time-freedom he has with his fantastic wife and five children. It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Adam Paul Green, MXI Corp Ambassador and Multi-Millionaire Earner.

I met this young lady at a market a month or too ago...
I can see her going a long way as at 14 she had a beautiful strong voice & amazingly she loved to sing musical show songs - Barbara Streisand was one of her favourites.
She wasn't put off by songs that would be hard to sing... she has a magic voice...
You Go Girl, You Go... we are all here for you...

Used to think Japanese convenience stores have the greatest variety of drinks. This was before I saw the aisles of soda pops, ginera ales, and root beers at Central Market.

"I was born May 25, 1966 in Accra. My creativity seems to be inborn. During my childhood days, I'd create boats with worn-out metal utensils, which I'd float in water to play with my friends. I could also mold pots and animal creatures from clay, to the delight of family members.
"Due to financial constraints, my parents could not further my education and so after the 6th grade, I had to drop out of school and join my uncle, who was a wood carver.
"Since 1983, I myself have been into this art of carving. I was determined to make it even though I could not further my education. And God has been so good – I had the opportunity to sell my works to foreigners who visited the country on holidays. The only challenge then was due to difficulty in communicating; I found it difficult to correspond with my customers to get feedback on the designs they purchased. Those who returned in subsequent years told us how they would best like the carvings and this helped us to improve our quality. However my sales were slow because, except for tourists, our local folks did not show much interest in our art.
"I have trained about 30 people to carve and some of them have now set up their own workshops. I currently have five people working with me. In addition, some university students have spent their vacations with me as interns. We take them through the practical aspects of this craft, and the students carve beautiful designs.
"Thanks to the woodcarving art, I've been able to educate my four children and I know that with constant sales, I'll be able to give them a brighter future than I had. This motivates me to wake up each day to carve!
"My dream is to one day have a big workshop to train a lot of people – especially school dropouts who think life has ended because their parents couldn't further their education. Their success in the art of carving would be my legacy."

Le plus vieux pont de l’agglomération reliant Nancy à Malzeville se met aux couleurs Renaissance.
Vieux de cinq siècles, le pont qui permet de passer de Malzéville à Nancy est issu de la volonté du duc René II de relier Nancy à ses terres de l’autre rive de la Meurthe. Indistinctement appelée Vieux Pont, Pont de Pierre ou Pont de Malzéville, l’une des plus vieilles « figures » de Malzéville profite de l’année de la Renaissance pour recevoir un nom digne de son grand âge : le Pont Renaissance.
À cette occasion, le dimanche 30 juin 2013, le pont s'est paré des couleurs de la Renaissance. Le temps d’une journée, il a accueilli une foire typique des XVe et XVIe siècles. À côté des merveilleuses machines, les échoppes d’artisans ont cotoyé les étals, où l’a pu déguster les mets et boissons de l’époque ; musiciens, conteurs et autres saltimbanques ont apporté la touche festive idéale pour célébrer la renaissance du Pont.

On June 13-15, 2017, the Clinton Foundation and J/P Haitian Relief Organization (J/P HRO) brought leaders from the retail, fashion, and fragrance sectors to visit partners in Haiti with the goal of developing new sourcing opportunities and forming new business partnerships with Haitian artisans and business owners.
Here, members of the delegation visit Papillon, a socially- and ecologically-conscious business that employs nearly 300 artisans who work with a wide range of materials – most of which are sourced locally – on pottery, paper making, jewelry making, sewing, screen printing, and metal art.
The Clinton Foundation Haiti initiative provided support to Papillon Enterprise to enable them to expand and diversify their business. The support included capacity building and provided for the purchase of new equipment and materials, which allowed the business to meet the growing demand for their products and to provide stable, well-paid jobs for nearly 300 artisans in the Delmas community. Their products are now featured by retailers like Breuniger, Chan Luu, and Urban Zen by Donna Karen. Papillon is one of ten women-owned businesses currently participating the Clinton Foundation’s Women Economic Participation Consortium (WEPC), which works to advance the economic participation of women in Haiti’s economy and promote women as important business leaders, empowered employees, and dynamic entrepreneurs through a range of business support services aimed at both the entrepreneurs and their employees.
