The Unofficial Greatest Fisherman – Sakwinder Narwal

image Some do it as a necessity to feed their families; others do it to feed their hunger  for the sport of it, either way, no one knows better than Sakwinder Narwal, a successful businessman and entrepreneur about feeding his hunger for the dedicated passion he has for the sport of fishing. Sakwinder is more dedicated to fishing than some spouses are to one another. He’s even been known to make his own fishing pole on the rare occasion he’s found himself without one of his own many poles.

Sakwinder Narwal may not have been officially declared the greatest fisherman in the world, nor is he as world famous as Zyg Gregorek, the first recreational fisherman anywhere to catch all 27 species in the “royal slams” set by the International Game Fish Association (IGFA).  But most sports enthusiast will agree, Sak Narwal comes in as a close second.  Sakwinder Narwal has one of the greatest loves for fishing any true fisherman could possibly have.  Sak has been obsessed with fishing since he was a small boy.  As busy as he is with his many business endeavors, Sakwinder Narwal makes the time to fish just about every week and his voyages have taken him from Bristol Bay in Alaska where he chased the salmon, Dixon Lake where he fished for bass, the Florida Panhandle where he fished for Catfish, and Roscoe NY where he fished for brook trout.  Sak Narwal has even fished for sharks in the waters off Montauk Point, on New York’s Long Island.

Though he loves fishing, Sakwinder Narwal is quick to say that it is the thrill of the hunt, not of the kill, that he enjoys.  A strictly “catch and release” fisherman, Sak says, “There is nothing as relaxing and satisfying as catching fish on a beautiful day on a beautiful body of water.”

Renew International Can Fuel A Conversation

Politics and religion are two topics that are sure to fuel a conversation, which is why I steer clear of both as much as possible. However, when the topic has good content I break my rule of silence and I even sometimes share – as in this case.

Renew-International

I learned through a business acquaintance about RENEW International, a  Roman Catholic ministry which provides dioceses with the structure, training, and resources to administer and empower individuals and communities to encounter and include God in their everyday life,  RENEW fosters spiritual renewal in the Catholic tradition.   RENEW International has helped over 150 archdioceses and has worked to provide programs and materials to help each diocese meet their annual goals.   RENEW has touched the lives of over 25 million people through its ministry services in both the United States and in 23 countries around the world.

RENEW International, helps the entire dioceses to become a more loving community that is more sensitive and responsive to people’s needs.  Through these efforts the dioceses discover that many individuals want to be involved in a meaningful ministry.  Its refreshing to know that RENEW International is helping to provide quality caring ministry to its congregation for as long as people need it.

RENEW also has an Online Store, and offers quite a number of free downloads from their Bookstore.

Taxi Anyone? Let's Thank Amos Tamam

Taxi traffic jam

Technology is astounding,  constantly changing, and it’s just plain wonderful!  Yet most people take it for granted, in their everyday life – with the flip of a switch lights come on, the turn of a knob and water comes out.   Most don’t spend their time wondering how or who may have been responsible for the convenience they readily enjoy.  It’s all taken for granted.

View Taxi Anyone Let's Thank Amos Tamam

The convenience of our convenient world is made possible through the innovative efforts of pioneers such as: Zenith engineer, Dr. Robert Adler who harnessed ultrasonics to create the first truly practical wireless remote in 1956 & subsequently the couch potato was introduced shortly after.

As for the indispensable “can’t move a muscle without it” cell phone – well we have Dr. Martin Cooper to thank for that clingy device. Cooper invented the technology responsible for the development of the modern cell phone in 1973 while working as the Director of Research and Development for Motorola.

Former Engineer, Amos Tamam who invented the system of allowing cabs to be able to take credit cards for cab fare.  No longer do travelers have to be concerned about not having enough currency to pay for being transported from point A to point B by a whistle-if-you-want-one Taxi.

Amos Tamam was a classic American success story, he arrived in the United States from Israel in the early 1980’s with nothing but his electrical engineer training; he got into the cab business and eventually with diligence and determination made his way up the corporate ladder, from servicing cabs to ultimately becoming CEO of Veriphone Transportation Systems Inc.

Tamam’s system documents and reconciles driving records for taxi fleets.  A summary of credit card transactions include the fare, tolls and tips, the time and date of travel and miles driven.  The system easily enables cabbies to generate a report of the day's total fares and to reconcile credit card charges; allowing for more accurate record keeping capabilities to quickly and easily collect their earnings.

Finally, advances like this by Amos Tamam make a huge impact on so many levels, and are inspirational to novice innovators looking to make a change for the better as well as for our daily convenience.

Child Panic Devices are the cutting edge in securing your loved one's protection

For a couple of years I was fortunate to have worn the hat of a featured columnist for an online publication, which allowed me to express my opinion and write on any subject matter I so desired.    An article I wrote, "A Panic Button Is Long over Due for Children"; appeared in my column, The Way I See It, in September 2007.

Here’s an expert of the opening paragraph:

A panic button is long over due for children.  I find it difficult to believe that with all the modern technology being used today to invent the newest and latest inspector-gadget type portables, MP3 players, iPod Touch, that sweet-ass iPhone, PSP, the mini-GPS and what-not’s, no one has been able to develop a Child Alarm Alert system device to be worn by a child, a device that would assist in locating or responding to a missing or exploited child?” I even provided a draft of how the CAA Concept could work.

In my 2007 article, I went on to say, that through HomeAgain they’re able to ensure a pets' safety through micro-chipping and enrolling in a recovery database.  With HomeAgain, a lost pet is successfully recovered approximately every six minutes. To date, more than 4.3 million pets in the United States have been implanted with the HomeAgain(R) microchip, resulting in almost 400,000 successful recoveries.  My concern at the time was, why can’t they do the same for a human being?

Well, I’m delighted to say, that technology never ceases to amaze me, especially with companies such as Brickhouse Security, one of the leading providers of safety and security products to major law enforcement agencies; has stepped up to the plate in more ways than one.  First, with the Child Locator and now they’ve gone a step further with Amber Alert GPS (AAGPS), a small but powerful personal GPS tracker.

The Amber Alert GPS device enables parents to remotely locate their children when they are away.  Which differs from the Locator (a great device on it’s on), in that it uses GPS technology to alert parents when their child strays beyond a set distance of up to 600 feet.  Both devices together complement each other very well.  The AAGPS device weighs in at about $300.00 (with a monthly service cost between $19.99 to $49.99, depending on usage) and works well indoors and out, has an SOS button to call for help to up to 5 people at once, supports Geo-Fencing, and can send speed alerts (ie. send an alert if my kid is driving faster than 80 MPH), which is a very handy feature for parents of teen-ager drivers.

And for those of you with limitless income, there’s the  WorldTracker priced at around $600, monthly service costs $69/month, plus there's a one-time setup fee of $90. That's about $830 per year in service fees alone – don’t forget to add the $100 cost for the extended battery you’ll need - not cheap, but the WT’s performance is top notch.   Amber Alert GPS may not have all the extra bells and whistles as WorldTracker, such as being able to configure AAGPS to send location updates – you have to call the device & wait for it to send a message to your phone – how difficult is that, besides you should periodically call your child anyway. Still, Amber Alert GPS is simple to use, and doesn't require a computer to find out where your child is; nor will you have to take out an equity loan to purchase it.  If you already have an internet-enabled smart phone, Amber Alert GPS is a great tool for parents and children alike.

There are other monitoring systems available, but do your homework before investing your hard earned money on something that may not give you the results you want or need.  Functionality should be the first option you look for in a device and cost should be a close second, so shop wisely.  Just because a device cost more or less, doesn’t mean it’s the best product.

Unfortunately, a number of devices which I won’t name here, tend to perform poorly in public places; and are prone to interference, the range is very limited inside malls and supermarkets, and either don’t have a direction indicator on the display, so you have to rely on a series of audible beeps to determine if you're getting "hotter" or "colder" as you panicky run around circles, searching for your child – which is not very practical at all.  Devices like these are better suited for hunting down frequently misplaced items at home, such as keys, wallets, and remote controls.

Although the alert tracking devices may not be designed to prevent kidnappings, abductions, runaways, or missing persons; it is good to know you have an edge against such occurrences.  Amber Alert GPS is a more practical and less expensive solution to ensure that children are safe and accounted for when they're away from home.

To have that extra peace of mind for everyone you care about, children, elderly loved ones, or even pets an AAGPS device is a wise investment.

Sakwinder Narwal Feeds His Passion For Fishing

fishing boat in water

It was just recently when I mentioned to my spouse that I had seen a man on the side of the road contently sitting in a ditch with a fishing pole.

I wondered then as I do now, why?  And I can only conclude that he needed to feed his family or his hunger for the sport of fishing.  And no one knows better than Sakwinder Narwal, about feeding his hunger for the amazing passion he has for the sport of fishing.

Although Sakwinder Narwal may not officially be declared the greatest fisherman in the world, or be as world famous as Zyg Gregorek, the first recreational fisherman anywhere to catch all 27 species in the “royal slams” set by the International Game Fish Association (IGFA).  In my opinion, Sak Narwal is a close second.  He has one of the greatest loves for fishing any true fisherman could possibly have.  Sak has been obsessed with fishing since he was a small boy.  Sakwinder Narwal fishes just about every week and his voyages have taken him from Bristol Bay in Alaska where he chased the salmon, Dixon Lake where he fished for bass, the Florida Panhandle where he fished for Catfish, and Roscoe NY where he fished for brook trout.  Sak Narwal has even fished for sharks in the waters off Montauk Point, on New York’s Long Island.

Though he loves fishing, Sakwinder Narwal is quick to say that it is the thrill of the hunt, not of the kill, that he enjoys.  A strictly "catch and release" fisherman, Sak says, “There is nothing as relaxing and satisfying as catching fish on a beautiful day on a beautiful body of water.”

Sakwinder’s savvy business sense and entrepreneurship has afforded him the opportunity to be able to follow his passion around the country and around the globe.   It is doubtful that I’d ever see Sakwinder fishing on the side of the road, but if his passion directs him there, who knows.

Harley SwiftDeer Reagan - A Real Life "Billy Jack"

People are always looking to find a hero of some sorts one that will fight for the underdog, or just someone that has accomplished a bit more then themselves.   A not so short trip to the past brings forth memories of the 1970s “Billy Jack” action films that provided an anti-authority message combined with the then-novel martial arts fight scenes which predate the Bruce Lee/kung fu movie trend that soon followed.  If you recall, the films’ focused on the plight of Native Americans during the civil rights movement; and the determination of the leading character, Billy Jack to fight for those rights.  Well, an accomplished American, by the name of Harley Swiftdeer, of Cherokee and Irish decent was apparently the inspiration for the movie.  His impressive credentials are seemingly endless.

Harley Swiftdeer ReaganA national jujitsu champion; father of five sons; a self-made man with Ph.D's in Humanistic Psychology and Comparative Religions; an internationally recognized spokesman for American Indian customs and causes; a man who spent a year in Yuma State prison for killing a man in self-defense.  He is a healer, and teacher, and the leader of the Deer Tribe Metis Medicine Society, and the leader of the Ten-No-Kishi dojo in Scottsdale, Arizona.  He teaches about spiritual awakening, growth, and healing, and has practiced and taught at least three martial arts in the past as well.

With several books and a variety of training materials available on amazon.com and elsewhere, Harley Swiftdeer continues to strive to bring ancient beliefs regarding balance and sustainable living to our modern times.   SwiftDeer has led a very full and adventuresome life.   He served in Vietnam in 1994, although he was a decorated Marine Corps he was discharged because of his opposition to the Vietnam War.  He was inducted into the World Martial Arts Hall of Fame in honor of his contribution within that field.   He also pursued studies in psychology, philosophy and religion. All of this rich experience and study is integrated into SwiftDeer's style and content of how he carries the Sweet Medicine SunDance Wheels and Keys.

He founded The Deer Tribe Metis Medicine Society in 1986 for the purpose of gathering, translating and teaching the Wheels and Keys of the Sweet Medicine SunDance (SMSD) Path of Turtle Island.  For many ancient peoples hair symbolizes knowledge. "Twisted Hairs" refers to those who take knowledge from many sources and weave it together, synthesizing and formulating "braids of truth."  Harley also developed Chulukua-Ryu a fighting art as a synthesis of elements and techniques from the Japanese Karate and Jiu-Jitsu martial arts and 750 techniques learned from different Native American tribes; and Chulukua-Ryu was eventually recognized as a formal martial arts style, which earned him the Golden Life Achievement Award from the World Martial Arts Hall of Fame in 1994.

Harley Swiftdeer, also called Soke Swiftdeer or Head of Family of the Ten-No-Kishi Dojo and American Indian Fighting Arts Association (Chulukua-Ryu system), is a 9th-degree master of these Japanese techniques, which he combined with more than 25 years of research into the Native American fighting arts – resulting to this new and unique martial arts system, which is the only original American martial arts accredited by the International Society of Black Belts.

Most of all, Swiftdeer is a medicine man.  The role of a medicine person combines the powers and skills of a leader, doctor, magician, lawyer, healer, priest, psychologist, teacher, and father/mother. Obviously, a person doesn't become that overnight.  Swiftdeer began his medicine apprenticeship at the age of eight with his Cherokee grandmother, Spotted Fawn, on a reservation in Texas/Oklahoma.  After Vietnam, he continued his study with the medicine chief of the Navajo nation, Tom "Two Bears" Wilson; and studied with a number of teachers thereafter.

Take time to explore the life and adventures of Harley Swiftdeer Reagan.

RENEW International Fostering Spiritual Renewal

Renew-International

When I became a Stephen Minister a few years ago through Ebenezer Baptist Church, I was excited and elated, to be a part of a system that offered its congregation caregivers that provided one-to-one Christian care to the bereaved, hospitalized, divorced, unemployed, and others in and around the congregation facing a crisis or life challenge.

Although I was impressed that Stephen Ministry congregations had a way of blending social sciences with a distinctively Christian approach to caring and relating; I also wondered if other denotations or affiliations offered the same or similar services or opportunities to their congregations.   My concerns were put to rest when I learned through a business acquaintance about RENEW International, a Roman Catholic ministry which provides dioceses with the structure, training, and resources to administer and empower individuals and communities to encounter and include God in their everyday life,  RENEW fosters spiritual renewal in the Catholic tradition.   RENEW International has helped over 150 archdioceses and has worked to provide programs and materials to help each diocese meet their annual goals.   RENEW has touched the lives of over 25 million people through its ministry services in both the United States and in 23 countries around the world.

RENEW International, helps the entire dioceses to become a more loving community that is more sensitive and responsive to people’s needs.  Through these efforts the dioceses discover that many individuals want to be involved in a meaningful ministry.  RENEW also has an Online Store, and offers quite a number of free downloads from their  Bookstore.

Its refreshing to know that both the Stephen Ministry and RENEW International have something so very much in common, and that is helping its congregations provide quality caring ministry for as long as people need it.

Epsilon Investment Management Invest In Boca Raton


BocaSkyline
When most people think of Boca Raton, they generally think of warm tropical weather, posh villas, private mansions, exclusive yacht clubs, lazily days, and the like.  With successful businesses like, Epsilon Investment Management who’ve chosen to locate themselves in Boca Raton, the city enjoys a great reputation among tourists and is known for being pedestrian-friendly with its promenade.  So if you’re lucky enough to take advantage of the Ooohs and Aaash of Boca Raton, you just might find some amazing investment opportunities along the way; with Epsilon Investment Management, one of the companies that have taken advantage of the geographic advantages of being part of the thriving city.

Boca Raton is situated in Palm Beach County, Florida.  New roads and landscaping are a part of the city’s redevelopment to attract tourists and become an even more frequent destination area for residents and tourist.  However, even successful companies like Epsilon Investment Management must be careful as Boca Raton has a strict development code, including the size and types of commercial buildings, building signs and advertisements which may be erected within the city limits.  Additionally, no billboards are permitted in the city.  Corporations such as McDonald's have subdued their Golden Arches due to the code.  The unincorporated areas still contain restaurants with the classic arches, but the heights of the signs have also been reduced.  Codes or not,  Boca Raton is a wise investment, both socially and financially.
