Read moreAshley White is a writer of many voices, so to speak. She has the talent to write compelling copy – the skill to compose content that resonates with readers on an emotional level – and the versatility to work with a diverse group of students, companies and specialists within the fields of economics, public health, biostatistics and epidemiology, and global health and development, among other things.

Read moreWithin the world of business systems support (BSS), there are many consultants, project managers, IT executives and software specialists. They provide many skills, but few have the talent Ravikant Singh possesses: A gift not only of technical literacy – the ability to "speak" code, shifting from Amdocs to SAP like a linguist who alternates between fluency in Spanish and the seamless use of French – but a marvelous display of communications in general. Ravikant is both an expert and an educator, a champion of clarity over jargon; a professional who informs as much as he inspires, giving clients the intelligence they need and the peace of mind they deserve to enjoy. It is this

He will keep you moving by empowering you to never stop moving. That resolve, born and nurtured on two continents by coaches and teammates in, respectively, southern African and British Columbia, is the reason why Mark-David Martin m
Read moreTo be an artist is to be blessed with innate talent and incredible discipline; the sort of patience that reveals itself with every faded mark of the partial erasure of pencil, pen or ink, where the constant refinement of a two-dimensional image – the detailed seam in the illustrated musculature of a model, or the grooves of a newly patented gear or the minimalist elegance of a consumer electronic – come to life. To be that artist, and to be just as adept with the digital tools responsible for creating three-dimensional works of dynamic color and movement, is to know Brad Krause. An OnCall expert, Brad is many things – a consultant, a teacher, a designer, an illustrator and an art

Read moreThe immigrant's story is a tale of hope and innocence – and bravery, too. It is part of North American folklore, a journey across a continent and an ocean, formerly by train and steamship and now by jetliner; where the hardships of the Old World, the barren farmlands and abandoned villages and the political riots and displaced people, are like one long film reel, visible from the passenger window of a locomotive or miniaturized, beneath the clouds, from 30,000 feet. It is in the New World, where each of us can start anew. It is in this world, where Tzachi Chen prospers. His story is not without its share of challenges and hardships: A Canadian by choice, with his family as his only (

But, if you seek examples of Joe's success, if you want undeniable proof of his skills and talents, look at what you do not see: Clutter and disarray, or piles of papers and boxes, the detritus of a home or office overrun by so much junk there is no room to walk or even move.

He is ready to listen to your needs, answer your questions and customize a plan for you to regain that most precious commodity known as order. By showcasing Joe as someone wo
Read moreThe best forms of technology are not just revolutionary in practice; they are transformational by design and description. Think (Different) about the release, on October 23, 2001, of the iPod and its six-word summary of social change and individual empowerment: "One thousand songs in your pocket." That event is a commercial milestone and a triumph for consumers. In the near-decade-and-a-half since that occasion – in the years following the debut of that iconic device, with its monochromatic screen and rotary flywheel – we can celebrate the miniaturization and personalization of everything from cell phones and digital music players to the dawn of slender tablets and sleek laptops.
