United American Insurance Company

Please note: this is a sponsored post.

United American Insurance Company has been around since 1947. They provide health, life and medical insurance. As a relatively new retiree, I have become familiar with the Medicare Part D coverage, which is one of the perks of being a senior.

If you have an entrepreneurial streak and are seeking a reliable company to represent, you might want to check out United American Insurance Company. For more than 30 years, they have earned the A+ (Superior) financial strength rating from A.M. Best company. Standard and Poors gave them a AA (Very Strong) rating.

In these days of dissolving companies and shaky finances, it is absolutely necessary to do careful due diligence on any company with which you may be considering doing business. United American Insurance Company can handle the scrutiny.

Who are K-Designers?

K-Designers is a huge remodeling company that services the Western half of the United States. It began when one of the founders saw an opportunity after a huge hailstorm hit Caspar, Wyoming. That was in 1978. Larry Judson moved there to help with the hail damage and the company just grew from there. Now the company covers eighteen states; in 2005 their annual sales exceed sixty three million dollars.

In 1986 K-Designers established Sacramento, California as their home office. They have won many awards since their humble beginnings. Due to their continuous growth and the need for a larger office, they moved their home base to Gold River, California in 2004.

Larry and Lee Judson continue to run the company. They credit K-Designers success to some old fashioned reasons; just giving their customers good value for their hard-earned money.

Who is Muhammed Babangida ?

Muhammed Babangida is a Nigerian celebrity who also loves jazz and is an avid sportsman. He is a polo player and supporter of the game. His love of jazz has led him to start a blog on the subject, where he has proven to be fairly knowledgeable on the subject.

At one time Muhammed Babangida served as the president of Nigeria. He is so well known in his country, he is referred to by the acronym IBB. Muhammed Babangida is also a retired five-star general.

Nigeria and its people are somewhat of a mystery to those of us that live in the USA. When I used to drive a cab, I met quite a few cabbies who were of Nigerian orgin. I also know that in the religion that I have practiced for many years, ECKANKAR, there are many Nigerians. In fact there is a big ECKANKAR center in Lagos.


Who is Frank Hanna?

Frank Hanna is an Atlanta based businessman whose has started and backed several successful businesses. Currently he is acting as CEO of Hanna Capital, LLC. What makes this man interesting is that he is not just a successful businessman.

In September of 2008 Frank Hanna also became a published author. His book is called What Your Money Means: And How to Use It Well. In this book he explains the motives for his philanthropic work among many other things.

Frank Hanna has been involved in forming three Catholic schools in Atlanta. One of these, Holy Spirit Prep, was named one of the top 50 Catholic high school in the USA.

It looks to me like this guy knows not only what money means, he knows what life is about too.

Amos Tamam

Back in the days when I used to drive taxis and later limos for a living, I didn't know the name Amos Tamam. I found out later that one of his inventions did effect my livelihood. I drove in Chicago and remember very well when the first machines were installed that allowed us to process credit cards to pay the fares.

Later this invention of Amos Tamam was installed on cabs in New York city and other major metro areas. It was very helpful for business for several reasons. It expanded the options people had for payment. Especially for business travelers who are used to paying with plastic, it was a boon. For cabbies who were concerned about safety, having to carry less cash was helpful too.

Amos Tamam was a classic American success story. An immigrant from Israel who came to the USA with nothing, he got into the cab business and eventually started the VeriFone company with his primary innovation being his machine that processed credit cards.
