Because of drought in Malawi and across southern Africa the grain has doubled in price in the space of a year, and now costs around 200 kwacha ($0.28) a kilo. Like many, Abale is struggling to pay for maize, a staple of the diet, and says her own - stunted - crop will not be ready for harvest for two months. “It’s too expensive, I have almost no money,” she said. In all 2.8 million people in Malawi, or 17 percent of the population, now face hunger, according to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). Drought and floods have hit the maize crop, exposing the fragility of gains which How Donald Trump took on the NFL had seen Malawi’s rates of malnutrition slashed in the past two decades.

What’s tricky is negotiating a good deal. Patience is a virtue in the pursuit of getting what you want. But research, due diligence, planning, and flexibility are just as important. 1 10938_Bergs_01.c.qxd 12/1/03 4:01 PM Page 2 10938_Bergs_01.c.qxd 12/1/03 4:01 PM Page 3 hen it comes right down to it, the best advice for real estate Winvestors is to practice patience. Though there are many instances when it is necessary to act quickly, patience is a virtue even in situa- tions where time is of the essence. As one case in point, right after the dust cleared from Equity Office Properties’ initial public offering in 1997, the real estate investment trust’s chairman, Sam Zell, began planning a major expansion. Caught in his crosshairs was another real estate investment trust (REIT), Cornerstone Properties, which he wanted to own. Zell knew that although Cornerstone had managed to quickly grow its portfolio of properties, the New York–based REIT was smaller and would have trouble gaining access to the capital mar- kets. It took three years, but Zell finally snared his prey, buying the company for $4.6 billion. The key to this deal was persuading a Dutch pension fund, which owned about 30 percent of Cornerstone, to sell. Although Zell clearly coveted the company’s 15 million square feet of office space, much of which was located in the same cities where Equity Office Properties already had a presence, he took his time with the pension fund.

  • Donald Trump
    Donald Trump Donald Trump is known worldwide as a billionaire entrepreneur. He is also one of the most well-known television stars off his top-rated show "Celebrity Apprentice." Although he comes from a privileged background, Donald inherited nearly nothing. He amassed his fortune through his ability to work hard and close mega-million dollar deals. While known primarily for his fame, fortune and love life, you may not know that he lost everything he had in 1990 and pulled off one of the most amazing reinventions in history. Donald John Trump was born on June 14, 1946 in New York City, New York. His father was a successful business man. His grandfather had died early forcing his father into business at an early age. Donald's father, Fred Trump started his own business and Donald learned deal-making assisting his father in the growing business. Donald attended military school and went on to graduate from the elite University Of Pennsylvania's Wharton Financial school. When Fred Trump died though, Donald didn't inherit a large prosperous business. He did inherit his father's ability to recognize a good deal when he saw it, from assisting him in his business for so many years. Donald was ready now to become a successful businessman. Armed with a great education, experience taught to him from working with his father and his own in-born ability to negotiate successful opportunities, Donald left Queens for Manhattan. He was almost totally impoverished but he joined a key elite business club to make contacts and network with big financiers.

  • THE HISTORY of SMU FOOTBALL 1910S on the Morning of Sept
    OUTLOOK PLAYERS COACHES OPPONENTS REVIEW RECORDS HISTORY MEDIA THE HISTORY OF SMU FOOTBALL 1910s On the morning of Sept. 14, 1915, coach Ray Morrison held his first practice, thus marking the birth of the SMU football program. Morrison came to the school in June of 1915 when he became the coach of the University’s football, basketball, baseball and track teams, as well as an instructor of mathematics. A former All-Southern quarterback at Vanderbilt, Morrison immediately installed the passing game at SMU. A local sportswriter nicknamed the team “the Parsons” because the squad was composed primarily of theology students. SMU was a member of the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association, which ruled that neither graduate nor transfer students were eligible to play. Therefore, the first SMU team consisted entirely of freshmen. The Mustangs played their first game Oct. 10, 1915, dropping a 43-0 decision to TCU in Fort Worth. SMU bounced back in its next game, its first at home, to defeat Hendrix College, 13-2. Morrison came to be known as “the father of the forward pass” because of his use of the passing game on first and second downs instead of as a last resort. • During the 1915 season, the Mustangs posted a record of 2-5 and scored just three touchdowns while giving up 131 Ownby Stadium was built in 1926 points. SMU recorded the first shutout in school history with a 7-0 victory over Dallas University that year. • SMU finished the 1916 season 0-8-2 and suffered its worst 1920s 1930s loss ever, a 146-3 drubbing by Rice.

  • Trump Administration Allies Have Burrowed Into 24 Critical Civil Service Positions and 187 Last-Minute Appointments
    Trump Administration Allies Have Burrowed Into 24 Critical Civil Service Positions And 187 Last-Minute Appointments SUMMARY: Following the outgoing administration’s “quiet push to salt federal agencies with Trump loyalists,” an Accountable.US review has found that, as of February 22, 2021, at least 24 Trump administration political appointees have “burrowed” into long-term civil service jobs in the new Biden administration. This includes at least four figures in the national security apparatus, nine figures with environmental regulators, three figures in the Department of Justice, two figures in the embattled Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and at least six other appointees elsewhere who have refused to step down in the transition. Burrowing of this sort is not treated lightly, as officials who transfer from political appointments to career positions must undergo scrutiny by federal personnel overseers for a full five years—and some of these cases have been found to violate federal laws and have drawn congressional scrutiny. However, there is a much wider slate of concerning Trump administration appointments that are not subject to such strict oversight: During the Trump administration’s waning days following the 2020 election, it announced 187 last-minute appointments to various boards, commissions, and councils that don’t require Senate confirmation. While some of these appointments have already drawn alarm for going to campaign staffers, megadonors, and top administration allies, Accountable.US has unearthed even more troubling names in Trump’s outgoing deluge. Similar to how early Trump administration personnel picks were directly conflicted against the offices they served, many of these late Trump appointments are woefully underqualified or have histories directly at odds with the positions to which they were named—and they are likely to stay in long into the Biden administration.

  • Robert Ford Full Write Up
    Robert Ford, at only 5'6" and 160 lbs., was Belton’s leading rusher as a soph, junior and senior (in 1968) and went on to become the University of Houston’s top receiver and return specialist. He coached in three Super Bowls during his 10-year coaching career in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins. Robert Ford was born on June 21, 1951, in Belton TX. He was raised in Belton by his mother, Bernice Burleson, and attended Harris school from the 1st thru the 7th grade before attending Belton Jr HS and Belton H.S. Robert was a 3-sport letterman for three years at Belton H.S. and graduated in 1969. He was a 3-time All-District outfielder on the Tiger baseball team, was a 3-year starter at RB in football, and ran the sprints and sprint relay for the Tiger track team for three years. As a senior Ford won the District in the 100-yd dash (9.9) and 220-yd dash (22.0) and anchored the winning 440-yd relay team (43.2) that included Preston Clemons, Cleveland McBride, and Jim Stewart. He led the Tigers in rushing with 591 yards as a soph in 1966 but (because of an injury) played only 5 games at RB as a junior and still gained 551 yards (leading the team) at 6.8 yards per carry. In his senior year, the 5'6", 160 lb. Ford was the leading rusher (1,011 yards on 144 carries for a 7.0 average), leading receiver (288 yards on 12 passes for 24 per catch average) and scorer (142 points) for the 1968 Tiger football team that was 9-2 under Coach Jack Meredith and was champion of District 13-3A.
