At Sunshine NY, we thrive on the myriad areas of expertise presented by our Shiners.Our own Sardar Law Firm presents legal information vital for small businesses. Top Business Litigation Trends in a Recessionary Environment, by Sardar Law Firm. Commercial litigation has rapidly evolved in the United States since the deregulatory movement in the 1970s. Today, it is an industry behemoth that impacts and shapes the socio-economic discourse of our society, resulting in applicable legal standards on safety regulations, negligence, commercial competition, antitrust, intellectual property, and bankruptcies, to name a few. Human conduct is parsed and defined in the annals of judiciaries; lawyers construct arguments that may have ramifications for years if adopted, the commercialization process is first filtered through the lens of dispute prevention as an anticipatory measure.

Sunshine NY‘s community of small businesses and entrepreneurs is thrilled to announce the first-ever Sunshine NY Health Week! Event originator Jenna Edwards discusses “what” and “why” for Health Week. As a nutrition coach, I experience confusion from many of my clients regarding basic health and food topics. The nutrition industry changes constantly and we are left to sift through conflicting information. In my business, I work with my clients to find the best nutrition approach for their individual situation. We are all different and that calls for different approaches. I decided to host Health Week at Sunshine to support fellow entrepreneurs who want to do better for themselves, but don’t know where to start. The chosen topics are just the beginning for educating yourself on better health decisions. My hope is these seminars will jump-start your desire to pursue healthful living. It’s easy to figure out what NOT to do, but Health Week aims to fill in that knowledge gap of what to do instead. Find new foods, new techniques, new answers. Get tips for cooking, eating out, energy preservation, and physical movement.Equip yourself to make it through the holiday season. Benefits from attending seminars include:-Foods to add to holiday dinners (and incorporate all year round)
-Ideas for clean meals between holiday parties
-Detoxing (from all that sugar and alcohol)
-Fitness suggestions (for all that missed time at the gym)
-Which vitamins are good for what
-Techniques to strengthen the immunity system and deal with stress
-How to stop sugar overload before it happensI am very proud to offer this experience to you. Some seminars will offer samples and handouts. The schedule, location, and seminar descriptions are posted on my website at JennaHealth.com. I hope to see you there! October 25-29 at both Tribeca and NoHo locations of Sunshine NY.Find Jenna on Facebook or Twitter.

The Freedom Skate is “the journey of Austin Szelkowski (the freedom skater) will take him past the Washington monument, into the deep south, and through the great plains of our country. Out west he will journey over the Rocky Mountains and through the mojavi desert making his way to the great coast of California.” Along the way, Szelkowski is speaking and inspiring others to take risks, conquer challenges and live their dreams.Along the route, Freedom Skater Szelkowski stopped to interview his old friend Cheni Yerushalmi, co-founder and managing partner of Sunshine Suites, who knows a thing or two about taking risks and living the dream.
I asked Cheni what he thought about the connection between entrepreneurship and individual freedom. He thought that the two concepts were inseparable in that entrepreneurs have more personal control over their work/life balance and daily choices than anyone else. Interestingly, these same people are usually in far more danger of work-obsession than non-entrepreneurs. I suppose it is because they are so passionately connected to their work; they own it!
Check the rest of the amazing Freedom Skate journey, as well as more words between Austin Szelkowski and Cheni, at the Freedom Skate blog.

I am unable to wrap my head around the fact as to why any
