WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Howard University Cancer Center’s annual Rosemary Williams Breast Cancer Brunch recently exceeded its $100,000 fundraising goal, furthering the center’s mission to eliminate breast cancer disparities for minority women. The brunch honored the late Rosemary Williams who was a tireless advocate for equal access to quality health care for underserved women. To honor Williams’ legacy, proceeds raised through the brunch support the center’s critical breast cancer disparity programs which include screening and other patient-centered services.
The Chicago Public Library (CPL) recently hosted a book club, about the book, “Behold the Dreamers” by Imbolo Mbue, in the SouthShore community located on 2505 E. 73rd Street. The novel “Behold the Dreamers” deals with marriage, immigration, class, race, and the trapdoors in the American Dream and dives into the story of a young Cameroonian couple who tried to establish a new life in New York until the Great Recession upends the economy, according to CPL. Sandra Mohammad, CPL Branch Manager of the South Shore Library, led the South Shore book club and said the story “Behold the Dreamers” reminded her of immigrants who come to America looking for a better life, but realize there is another side of America. “It makes you think of the people caught up in the DACA stuff where their parents brought them here but now they can be sent back and it’s not their fault,” Mohammad said. “So, you see the other side of America in the story.” Inside the novel “Behold the Dreamers,” character Jende

Poor health can make cold temps more intense
Temperatures across the northern tier of the United States are bitterly cold, but low body fat levels and thyroid dysfunction may make it feel worse, says Jagdish Khubchandani, associate professor of community health at Ball State University. He noted that people without proper levels of body fat, which serves to insulate the body, may feel colder. “People who eat too little over a long period of time or those who are young and old may have unhealthy levels of body fat,” Khubchandani said. “There are others who go on these extreme diets and significantly reduce their body fat levels, which can cause a person to shiver almost uncontrollably when it gets as cold as it is now.” According to the professor, a healthy body fat percentage is 12-15 percent for young men and 25-28 percent for young women

Claim Your Cash and Property
SPRINGFIELD – Claiming your unclaimed property is now easier, according to Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs. There are two new ways to claim your unclaimed property. E-Claiming allows the public to upload necessary claim information in an electronic format on the Treasurer’s Office website. Fast Track allows quick approval and payment for simple, lower dollar amount claims. The automated review process compares the information submitted by the claimant to the information reported on the property, which could include social security numbers, past and current addresses, and past and current names. Claims that involve estates, heirs and/ or deceased relatives often are more complex and likely would not be eligible for eClaim or Fast Track.

Jonga, a Cameroonian immigrant, moved to the United States, specifically Harlem, New York, to provide a better life for himself, his wife, Neni, and their six-year-old son. In the fall of 2007, Jende lands a job as a chauffeur for Clark Edwards, a senior executive at Lehman Brothers. Edwards, demands punctuality, discretion, and loyalty--and Jende is eager to please. Mohammad explained that the Lehman Brothers Company and the global economy soon collapses, forcing Jende and Neni to make an impossible choice. “Jende Jonga, a Cameroonian immigrant, really wanted his son to live in America and have opportunities that he and his wife didn’t have in their hometown in Africa, but it didn’t work out,” Mohammad said. She continued to say that Jende voluntarily went back to Africa and his wife, Neni didn’t want to go back home, but ultimately, she accepted and eventually went back home. “[People] think it’s wonderful to come to America until they get over here and see how hard it is and then they worry if they’ll be sent back,” Mohammad said. “They may have a VISA, but that will eventually run out.”
Residents Purchase Vacant Land via Large Lot Program By Christopher Shuttlesworth
The Large Lot Program, a City of Chicago neighborhood stabilization initiative is currently helping property owners, block clubs, non-profit groups and local residents in neighborhoods like Englewood purchase City-owned land for $1 per parcel. The Large Lot Program, a City of Chicago neighborhood stabilization initiative is currently helping property owners, block clubs, non-profit groups and local residents purchase City-owned land for $1 per parcel. According to the City of Chicago, applicants must own property on the same block; be current on property taxes; have no financial obligations to the City, and successful applicants must maintain ownership of lots purchased through the program for at least five years. Local Englewood Residents like Mekazin Alexander and Tina Hammond recently used the Large Lot Program to help revitalize their vacant spaces with an additional $15,000 grant from organizations such as LISC Chicago and the Kresge Foundation. “LISC’s mission is to help neighborhoods become stronger and healthier so we wanted to support the transparency around the application process,” said Taryn Roch, LISC director of research and development. Roch said one of the ways that local, urban communities are being negatively impacted is through the amount of vacant lots, which she says are

an “eye-sore” for a lot of the people who live in the communities where the vacant lands have become “economically non-productive” for local citizens. However, she explained that the Large Lots Program was created through the city’s Green Healthy Neighborhoods (GHN) Plan, a 10 to 20-year planning strategy that is set to help local residents revitalize communities like Greater Englewood, Greater Grand Crossing, Washington Park, Woodlawn and Fuller Park. “The Large Lots program puts the power in the hands of the community members to turn something that was ugly before and create something beautiful and inspire other community residents to building housing on the vacant property, allowing it to become economically productive,” Roch said. The vacant lots may be used to expand the yards of existing homes, for beautification, for gardens, for housing, and other uses permitted by current zoning regulations, according to the City of Chicago. The City of Chicago has currently sold 973 vacant lots. The application period for the sixth Large Lots program ended on Jan. 31, 2017 but the next application round is pending. The Large Lots program is one of the recommendations of Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s “FiveYear Housing Plan,” which will direct $1.3 billion in public spending from 2014-2018 to create, improve and preserve more than 41,000 units of housing citywide.

New House Committee to Help Illinois Welcome Popular Bitcoin Currency
In an ever-evolving Illinois economy, the popular new currency Bitcoin creates exciting possibilities. A new Illinois House committee is aimed at making sure Illinois embraces those innovative opportunities while providing the proper oversight to protect consumers. State Rep. Jaime Andrade, chairman of the Illinois House Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, and IT Committee, recently announced the creation of a new subcommittee on cryptocurrencies and distributed ledgers. Andrade, D-Chicago, leads the full Cybersecurity Committee to review critical questions over how Illinois oversees the challenges that come with technological innovation, such as how online companies keep personal data shared on their platforms private and secure. The cryptocurrency subcommittee will be chaired by state Rep. Mike Zalewski, D-Riverside, who already has been working on legislative oversight of Bitcoin and the block chain to ensure the innovative economic tools can be fully and securely implemented in Illinois. Zalewski also leads on critical financial issues as chairman of the Illinois House Revenue and Finance Committee. “In my work on other technological advances such as fantasy sports and ride-sharing services, we have found ourselves trying to catch up to popular services,” Rep. Mike Zalewski said. “As lawmakers, we all want government to run more efficiently and transparently. Distributed ledger technology has the promise to do just that -- replace old antiquated systems with a modern approach to serving citizens’ needs. My hope is we can understand whether Bitcoin is the right investment or a risky gamble, and create policy that puts consumers first.” Bitcoin transactions work on a decentralized network of computers around the world, instead of through traditional paper and electronic payment transactions. Bitcoin’s value has been volatile in recent months, facing infrastructure challenges and high transaction fees. The lawmakers said the subcommittee will be the perfect vehicle for policymakers to better understand Bitcoin technology. “Technology can quickly outpace our state’s laws, and create unforeseen problems,” Andrade said. “I am confident Rep. Zalewski and this subcommittee will consider Bitcoin’s future carefully and allow us to support both innovation and consumer safety.”

Cook County Sheriff Department Hands out 911 Cell Phones to Seniors By Christopher Shuttlesworth
Community Members of the 6th Ward recently held their Beat 631 Community Meeting, and discussed how local seniors could use cell phones to combat crime in the neighborhood. The meeting was held at Chatham Fields Lutheran Church, 8050 S. St. Lawrence. Katie Walsh, a representative of the Cook County Sheriff ’s Department, said since 2006 the Sheriff ’s office has given away free 911 cellphones to every Illinois senior. “We know sometimes you want to call 911 and tell them what you see,” Walsh said. “These phones have no connection to you or any individual that would dial 911 [from the phone]. For many years, we’ve given the phones to victims of domestic violence.” She continued to explain that in the state of Illinois, a person is listed a senior at the age of 60 years or older or if they’re an adult with a disability. Walsh said the Sheriff ’s Department cleans each donated cell phone and places new batteries in them so they can work. “Every cell phone in the United States
can connect and dial to 911 even if you don’t pay the bill; if it doesn’t have service,” Walsh said. “If you find it in your closet and it holds a charge, the cell phone can still dial 911.” Officers at the Beat 631 meeting noted that when an individual calls 911, they should make sure to give as much detail of the situation that may be taking place in the neighborhood or how they may be feeling at the time. This helps the 911 receiver become more aware of the severity of the situation. Some areas to be cautious around that were mentioned at the Beat 631 meeting included 8030 S. Ellis (drug sales); 8036 S. Maryland (unknown subject smoking marijuana) and 8033-35 S. Maryland (unknown subjects hiding drugs on the roof of the building.) The next Beat 631 Meeting will take place on Mar. 1, 2018 For more information, visit www. chicagopolice.org and click the Community tab. Residents Purchase Vacant Land via Large Lot Program

5 Easy Ways to Update Your Home Office for Greater Productivity (StatePoint) If you work from home, you likely spend a lot of time in your home office, which makes its design just as important as the rest of your home. If it’s not up to par, it’s time to bring new life to the space. A few easy updates will help you feel more comfortable and inspire you towards greater productivity. 1. Let in light. Update your window treatment to maximize natural light and get more direct sunshine, and swap out drab lamps for eye-catching fixtures that offer brighter light. Make sure your office is a well-lit place where you can see what you’re doing without straining your eyes. 2. Update your tools. Having up-to-date tools makes working in your home office that much more efficient and enjoyable. Swap out older tech with newer tools offering the latest advancements, such as Casio’s HR-170RC next generation compact printing calculator. It has a host of features, including two-color printing (red/black), a tax calculation function, a clock/calendar and a power adapter. 3. Decorate. Ditch the bare walls and add an interesting focal point -- whether it’s a tapestry, cool shelving or an art print that matches your interests and inspires you creatively. 4. Go green. It is said that certain plants and flowers can promote health at home. Add some plants or fresh cut flowers to your home office to reap the benefits. 5. Get organized. Flight clutter and make important items and documents easier to locate with organizational tools like filing cabinets, folders and bins. A clean and tidy work zone will help you to feel more on top of your work, and may encourage you to form other great habits.

New Benefits and Insurance Options You Can Expect in 2018 (StatePoint) Ever wondered whether your insurance policy was actually working for you? You may be in luck, as your insurance plan may start to follow the same trends being adopted in other industries: simpler, more convenient and personalized products – all supported by the latest mobile technology. This year, Stephanie Shields, a product marketing and development expert from Aflac, (Aflac herein means American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus and American Family Life Assurance Company of New York) says that policyholders can expect these “value-added services” to become less of a nice-to-have and more of a given: • Telemedicine: Consulting with a physician and getting treatment online offers greater flexibility and may become essential to busy people. • Fraud protection: Identity theft is likely top of mind for policyholders and businesses. Expect to see better fraud protection, including ongoing internet monitoring and full identity restoration after a data breach. • Bill negotiation: The ever-changing health care system is often confusing to navigate. Ongoing education, as well as help understanding medical bills, can ultimately mean greater access to efficient, affordable care. Transformed Benefits Insurance providers will likely shift the customer experience to follow that of retailers and other industries. In 2018, expect to see insurers such as Aflac offer more cohesive insurance policies that combine multiple benefit types into one plan. Beyond the Basics You may find things that were once luxuries, such as 401K matching, Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and even annual bonuses, are not as successful in meeting the expectations of today’s employees. As those expectations grow, successful businesses can continue to close the gap with such services as:

Time Spent Smarter In 2018, employers who have not yet adopted online platforms to manage benefits may do so.

Naomi Campbell, Marc Jacobs and UNAIDS Collaborate (Black PR Wire) - The celebrated fashion designer Marc Jacobs has designed a limited edition T-shirt to raise funds for UNAIDS’ activities in support of people around the world living with or affected by HIV. The T-shirt will retail for US$ 55 and is on sale at marcjacobs.com. The T-shirt chimes with the theme of this World AIDS Day campaign, #myrighttohealth. Everyone, regardless of who they are or where they live, has a right to health. Actress, model and activist Naomi Campbell came up with the initial idea for the collaboration. “It felt only right to collaborate with Marc Jacobs,” said Ms Campbell. “Given his understanding of the global HIV epidemic and the many friends we have lost to the disease, there’s no one I’d rather work with to continue bringing awareness to UNAIDS.” UNAIDS is excited to work with Ms Campbell and Mr Jacobs, who are both long-standing advocates for an AIDS response that leaves no one behind. The collaboration has been coordinated by the CAA Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Creative Artists Agency (CAA), which represents Ms Campbell. “Naomi Campbell’s long history of commitment to humanitarianism is both remarkably commendable and genuine,” said Mr Jacobs. “I was honoured to be asked by her to collaborate on this T-shirt in support of UNAIDS as a continued effort to raise awareness

CHICAGO CHILDREN’S THEATRE’S MY WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY SUIT! CHICAGO – My Wonderful Birthday Suit!, Chicago Children’s Theatre’s highly entertaining, timely and important new play for young audiences, will captivate children with its festive birthday party atmosphere. But this engaging world premiere by Gloria Bond Clunie, an award-winning Chicagoland playwright, director and educator, also promises to help children, parents and teachers speak honestly about diversity and encourage all ages to move from simply tolerating differences, to understanding, accepting and celebrating what makes everyone unique. Ideal for ages 4 to 7, My Wonderful Birthday Suit! debuts January 16-February 18, 2018 at Chicago Children’s Theatre, The Station, 100 S. Racine Avenue in Chicago’s West Loop. Public performances are Saturday at 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., and Sunday at 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. School matinees are Tuesday through Friday at 10 a.m. Single tickets are $35 including fees. For subscriptions, single tickets and information on group rates, visit chicagochildrenstheatre.org or call Chicago Children’s Theatre Guest Services, (872) 222-9555. It’s a magical birthday party - and you’re invited! Step inside an enchanted room in The Land Beyond The Rainbow, where Ooblahdee, Oblahdah and Shebobshebe are surrounded by birthday cards, colorful balloons, beautifully wrapped presents and the splendiferous Thinking Tree. But when hurtful words about skin color slip out, a birthday party among best friends becomes a charming story about how to appreciate outer beauty and celebrate the remarkable gifts inside each of us. Music, puppets, surprises and the quiet wisdom of the Thinking Tree, where kids are gently inspired to contemplate their own words and actions, make My Wonderful Birthday Suit! a very special celebration. Hands-on pre- and post-show experiences help audiences explore outward appearances and inner gifts, and leave young children feeling like they are the very best gifts of all. The idea for My Wonderful Birthday Suit was sparked by a conversation between Clunie and Chicago Children’s Theatre Artistic Director Jacqueline Russell. The two wanted to create a new work for young audiences that celebrated diversity in a time in our country when even young children have unspoken questions or concerns. They were also admirers of Chicago author Michael Tyler’s popular children’s book, The Skin You Live In. With Tyler’s encouraging words and vibrant illustrations by David Lee Csicsko, The Skin You Live In is a visual delight, and a wonderful springboard for positive conversations with children about skin color and outward appearances. Clunie’s intention with My Wonderful Birthday Suit! is to create a work for the stage bursting with kindness and generosity. In the story, the surprise sharing of an amazing gift symbolizes one of the play’s key themes: that because of the wonders on both the outside and the inside of us, we are all gifts to be treasured and celebrated. “Gloria has an incredibly creative imagination, and years of experience as a wonderful educator of young minds,” said Russell. “While crafted to be very entertaining and interactive for very young audiences, My Wonderful Birthday Suit! does confront issues of race and use of hurtful language in very frank terms. Our hope is that My Wonderful Birthday Suit! will convey important lessons about peace and unity, and help prepare our next generation of Chicago citizens for life in an incredibly rich and culturally diverse society.” Chicago Children’s Theatre is the winner of an American Theatre Wing 2017 National Theater Award, the first children’s
