The importance of Jobs to jobs
October 21, 2011 Zero comments GYR BlogIt’s never easy to say goodbye to a visionary. When Apple, Inc. announced Steve Jobs’ passing to the world, many felt a certain sense of loss.

January 7, 2011 3 comments GYR BlogIn our part of the world, it’s not so much women who struggle to be heard. I think a lot of women in the South would tell you that it is more of an asset than a hindrance to be a female. There’s a certain charm that goes into our gender.
