Harvard Professor Indicted For Lying To Feds About Ties To Wuhan University in China
The former Chair of Harvard University’s Chemistry and Chemical Biology Department was indicted today on charges of making false statements to federal authorities regarding his participation in China’s Thousand Talents Program.
Dr. Charles Lieber, 61, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on two counts of making false statements and will be arraigned in federal court in Boston at a later date. Lieber was arrested on Jan. 28, 2020, and charged by criminal complaint.
According to charging documents, since 2008, Dr. Lieber has served as the Principal Investigator of the Lieber Research Group at Harvard University, specializing in the area of nanoscience. Lieber’s research at the Lieber Research Group has been funded by more than $15 million in research grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Department of Defense (DOD). Among other things, these grants required the disclosure of all sources of research support, potential financial conflicts of interest and all foreign collaboration.
It is alleged that, unbeknownst to Harvard University, beginning in 2011, Lieber became a “Strategic Scientist” at Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) in China. He later became contractual participant in China’s Thousand Talents Plan from at least 2012 through 2015. China’s Thousand Talents Plan is one of the most prominent Chinese talent recruitment plans designed to attract, recruit, and cultivate high-level scientific talent in furtherance of China’s scientific development, economic prosperity and national security.
According to court documents, these talent recruitment plans seek to lure Chinese overseas talent and foreign experts to bring their knowledge and experience to China, and they often reward individuals for stealing proprietary information. Under the terms of Lieber’s three-year Thousand Talents contract, WUT allegedly paid Lieber a salary of up to $50,000 USD per month, living expenses of up to 1 million Chinese Yuan (approximately $158,000 USD at the time) and awarded him more than $1.5 million to establish a research lab at WUT. In return, Lieber was obligated to work for WUT “not less than nine months a year” by “declaring international cooperation projects, cultivating young teachers and Ph.D. students, organizing international conference[s], applying for patents and publishing articles in the name of [WUT].”
It is alleged that in 2018 and 2019, Lieber lied to federal authorities about his involvement in the Thousand Talents Plan and his affiliation with WUT. On or about April 24, 2018, during an interview with federal investigators, it is alleged that Lieber falsely stated that he was never asked to participate in the Thousand Talents Program, but that he “wasn’t sure” how China categorized him...

Ad Banner - Advertising Banner
Ad banner.Also known as banner ad,online ad,standard ad size. Simply an online advertisement on a Web page,it usually links to another Website,buffer page,or landing page. Traditionally,ad banners have been the most conventional unit of advertising on the internet, and can cost anywhere from FREE to $5,000 to more than $100,000 per month, obviously depending on the amount of traffic and page views the Website receives, or the CPC or CPA the advertisement receives. It is referred to as an ad banner for the reason that, it is in the shape of a banner, commonly placed at the top or base of a Web page.
The terminology "ad banner" loosely refers to any form of web ad, as well as little rectangular boxes known as buttons and large vertical boxes known as skyscrapers. This form of online advertising entails embedding an advertisement into a web page,and it's main aim is to simply attract traffic to a website. This is achieved by linking to the website of the advertiser.
The advertisement is constructed from an image (GIF, JPEG, PNG), JavaScript program or multimedia object employing technologies such as Java, Shockwave or Flash, often employing animation, sound, or video to maximize effect. It is quite normal to find images in a high-aspect ratio shape (meaning either short and wide, or tall and narrow)and that is where the reference to banners comes in. These images are usually placed on web pages that have interesting content, such as a newspaper article or an opinion piece.
Affiliates earn money usually on a CPC (cost per click) basis, for every unique user click on the ad, the affiliate earns money. The size of a typical web banner 468×60 pixels. The web banner is displayed when a web page that references the banner is loaded into a web browser. This event is known as an "impression"...

Orgasm - Do You Get Yours Regularly?
Orgasm: This is a sad fact that, in these modern times, somewhere between 10% and 20% of adult women have never experienced an orgasm, and as many as 50% of women don’t orgasm during sex.
Sexual and sensual education have advanced to where we now understand much more about the female orgasm, such as the fact that women have two completely different places they can stimulate in order to bring themselves to full satisfaction.
Since the vibrator was specifically created to allow women to experience orgasms, it remains the best tool for women to discover what they enjoy, and what stimulates them in the best way to achieve the ultimate O.
The first step, of course, is acquiring a vibrator.
Most “adult stores” are pretty tacky and uncomfortable for women to shop in, which is why the internet is such a popular medium for adult toy shopping.Look at the pictures, read about the materials, and choose something you find attractive and that looks fun.
This is the first step on a wonderful journey, so enjoy it! To allow the best experience with your vibrator, give yourself some time with it.
Before you even switch it on, get relaxed and turned on. Take a long bubble bath, read an erotic story, get yourself in the mood...

Coronavirus:As Amazon Rises, So Does the Opposition
Stacy Mitchell knew that taking on a trillion-dollar company would be a lopsided fight. But the pandemic has not only made Amazon more essential. It has also made it vulnerable.
PORTLAND, Maine — A million years ago, Stacy Mitchell was in her office, talking about why Amazon is bad for America.
“If you relentlessly squeeze workers and suppliers, if you undermine every community’s local businesses, if you capture all of this surplus under the guise of efficiency and channel those gains to a small number of people, you end up with a system that is very vulnerable,” said Ms. Mitchell, an antitrust reformer and monopoly critic. “That is what we’ve been doing, systematically and as a matter of public policy.”
That was early March. Within days, much of the United States and Europe would enter lockdown. Unemployment soared, the health care system faltered and the economy collapsed. Shipping food, supplies and entertainment, Amazon became the pipeline — and sometimes the lifeline — for millions of housebound families. It was deemed essential.
The retailer immediately moved to deepen its dominance, hiring 100,000 new workers. Its stock market valuation jumped by hundreds of billions of dollars, while other retailers cratered. Wall Street analysts agreed: Amazon would own the future.
In the grim present, however, Amazon workers were suddenly visible in a way they had never been before. Warehouse employees raised urgent questions about how safe they were from the coronavirus. Wildcat strikes were staged at several warehouses. While the number of workers involved was small, it was still the largest labor revolt in Amazon’s history.
“Amazon has never been more powerful, but the consequences of its power have never been more visible,” Ms. Mitchell said on Thursday. “It’s laid bare.”
As much as anyone, she gets the credit for that.
Ms. Mitchell is 47, a historian by training, low-key by inclination. She is officially the co-director of a small nonprofit, the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, which has been working since the early 1970s to defend communities against concentrated economic power. But her real role is the strategist of the demise of Amazon as we know it.
In 2016, she published a 79-page report, written with Olivia LaVecchia, called “Amazon’s Stranglehold: How the Company’s Tightening Grip Is Stifling Competition, Eroding Jobs, and Threatening Communities.” A few months later, the law student Lina Khan published “Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox” in the Yale Law Journal. Together, the two works provided a road map for a new, more critical approach to the e-commerce colossus.
“I’m not trying to take away anyone’s diaper delivery,” Ms. Mitchell said. “But no corporation is above the law.”...

What Is Marketing - Guide To Promoting An Unfamiliar Business Effectively
@Charlesfrize #FrizeMedia What is marketing: So how do you effectively market your product or service when one knows anything about them because you're in a new and emerging industry? How can you expect to get customers if no one understands what it is that you do? If this happens to be your situation then a huge part of your marketing strategy will need to be educating consumers about what you do.
If yours is a field that is relatively new, or perhaps misunderstood, adopting an education strategy can help consumers understand the benefits you provide and feel more comfortable with the idea of purchasing your products or services. Educational marketing is best done through vehicles where you have space or time to fully explain your product or service and the benefits it provides. Or perhaps even to set straight some common misconceptions...

How To Create A Small Business Marketing Strategy
@Charlesfrize #FrizeMedia What does a small business marketing strategy mean to you? Some people automatically think in terms of their company’s long-term goals. When they start their small business, they create a long-term business plan, including a marketing strategy, that will help them develop their company over time.
Others think of a small business marketing strategy as a single campaign. They create a marketing campaign for one product or service they offer, and create a series of marketing tools that will help them sell that product or service.
While both may technically be correct, there is a distinct difference between the two. One creates a stream of income for a short period of time (typically a few weeks to a few months), while the other ensures you have a stream of income coming in on a regular basis.In order to ensure an effective small business marketing strategy, you must have three things in place.
1. Multiple marketing tools in place. Every day a person is marketed to 60-100 times. You see banners on the sides of buses, advertisements in newspapers and magazines, and coupons in your mailbox. It’s easy to see why marketing tends to become almost non-existent in our minds.
But the thing that a good marketer realizes is that he has to use different marketing tools to reach different target audiences. Everyone has a different attention span...

Business Marketing Strategies - The Power Of Targeted Marketing
@Charlesfrize #FrizeMedia Business marketing strategies: While pinpointing your market so narrowly takes a bit more effort,entrepreneurs who aim at a small target are far more likely to make a direct hit. The idea in this concept is for a person to focus his/her marketing efforts toward a specific audience who holds an interest in the very product/service being sold. This is not a new concept and yet it is amazing how many businesses neglect it.
When marketing strategies of this nature are applied, the results are exceedingly more beneficial than when a more generally targeted strategy is used. For example, if marketing to a general audience who holds interests in a wide range of products/services as apposed to a targeted, specific product/service, the results in sales generated from this effort would be greatly diminished compared to the results in sales realized through focusing on a concentrated interest among an audience.
The reason for this is because within an audience of people holding large range of interests, only a few will find the need in the product/service offered to them. Conversely, when marketing to an audience of people who all hold the same interest in the product/service being offered, every single person in your audience is much more apt to respond to the marketing efforts. This concept can be likened to a ship at sea that is focused on a specific destination (or target.) If the ship maintains it's aim toward the specific target, it will effectively reach its target because of the concentrated effort.

The Key To Niche Marketing Is Having The Right Product
@Charlesfrize #FrizeMedia Niche marketing: When you develop an experience with niche marketing, you quickly understand that there is one particularly important factor that plays the most valuable role in determining whether your business will be successful or not. This factor is the original concept of the business itself. It starts with the product that you have chosen, as well as your target market niche, and then your unique selling proposition (USP) – and last but not the least, the implementation of these elements. If your business idea – primarily, your product – is a good one, and you have applied your techniques properly for the development of your business, then you will be much more likely to be successful in your venture.
It’s all a matter of getting off on the right foot. Even though you are armed with this knowledge this doesn’t mean that the process will be straightforward. The point is, anyone can recognize that they need a good product in order to build a company to be successful, however, not everybody has an idea what a good product or business idea really looks like. Let’s examine closely what a business idea is, and how to recognize if it is a good one.
Obviously, the word “product” is rather self explanatory – it’s either the goods or the services that you will be selling. Equally, the term target market niche is becoming more familiar in the business world, referring to the little corner of the marketplace where a particular business places its focus.
However, not as well known is the term “USP”, which stands for unique selling proposition. This last term, which is essentially your individual marketing strategy, is what is often lacking in businesses that fail. What you are attempting to sell is the product itself. It may consist either of something tangible, such as cell phones, paper, shampoo, or something electronic, such as downloadable software, an e-book or e-newsletter, or anything else that can be downloaded or sent over the internet...

Self Improvement - Free Personal Development Guide
Self improvement and success go hand in hand Is it possible to know if a person is willing to attain self improvement? This is a question with no definitive answer. It will all depend on the individual. A lot of people have goals, dreams or ambitions but do not know how to go about achieving them. They may have thought about what would make up self improvement and their ideal life, but have no indication how to even start to make the plans and take the actions essential to make them a reality. A number of people have a vague idea on how to go about self improvement.
These are the ones that believe that if only they had a better job, or had been given better opportunities, or met the love of their life, or whatever else, everything would be fine and they would be very happy. They feel that their happiness or lack of it, is defined by external factors, and their thoughts and actions are of little consequence. Some believe that if only they had a lot more money, they could have whatever they want and be on their way to self improvement.
They may have spent little time thinking about what they in fact want from life, and do not really believe there is something they can do to create their fuzzy version of utopia anyway, apart from buying more lottery tickets. Other people do not even know what they really want from their lives and may even have little idea what would really make them happy. They seem to just drift from day to day, week to week, month to month, and year to year, and do little more than just about get by. They may have seemingly secure jobs and be earning enough to live relatively comfortable lives. They seem blissful enough and have no great ambition to accomplish anything more from their lives than they currently have.
Is self improvement important? The reality is that throughout our lives, we are all constantly growing and developing. Circumstances make us grow and develop, even if we do not make the conscious decision to do so. Up to a certain age, we learn through formal education and we continue to learn through our experiences for the rest of our lives. We have to learn and grow to deal with everything that life throws at us.We all have to go through self improvement. Modern life moves at a dramatically faster pace than at anytime in history...

Home And Small Business Marketing Strategies
Business marketing strategies might sound like it is esoteric so let’s take the mystery out of it so you can devise and implement your own business marketing strategies that fits in to your small business plan. Strategy comes from a Greek word “stratagein” meaning “to be a general”. Think of a strategy as an overall plan of action needed to win a battle. The smaller, detailed actions are termed tactics. You can maintain tactical plans which help you achieve your strategic marketing plan or overall business marketing strategies. That’s simple enough, isn’t it?
A business marketing strategy or strategic marketing plan is an overall plan of marketing actions you intend to take in order to accomplish a specific goal for your company. Start with a goal: $2 million in sales this year; expand into new premises by a certain date; double the size of the company in 2 years… whatever the goal may be. Something realistic but challenging. That's the "war" you want to win. Guess who the general is.
Then work out a simple, overall plan of the major marketing steps needed to accomplish that (for example):
1. Publish a newsletter for all existing customers and mail out quarterly.2. Work out 4 special offers in the year and promote them to all our customers.3. Set up on-line shopping and expand the web site.4. Direct mail campaign promoting the web site to all customers.5. Get mailing lists of (target markets) and do a series of 3 mailings of postcards to them and follow up on and close all leads.6. Etc.
You get the idea. Don’t rush this. Do your homework. What worked in the past? Read up on successful marketing campaigns. Your business marketing strategy needs to be laid out in the right sequence and you should have some idea of budget when you write it. “Run a series of 30 second TV ads during the Superbowl” might sound like a good thing to do but can you afford it? On the other hand, when you build your business marketing strategy you mustn’t try and cut corners. If you don’t promote heavily, it doesn’t matter how good your product or service is, no one will know about it and you will go broke...

Business - Forms Of Organizations
There are numerous kinds of organizations that can be separated into two major divisions: organizations existing to create profits (profit organizations. Includes business entities) and organizations that exist primarily for another purpose (non-profit organizations. E.g: charity organizations).
3 Types of Business Entities and their common characteristics:
1. Sole Proprietorships.
Sole proprietorships are business that are owned and operated by one person: the sole proprietor. The owner and the business, is then the same. For tax purposes, a sole proprietorship is not a taxable entity, and any profits earned by the business are taxed on the return of the individual.The proprietor must develop an accounting system that distinguishes between his/her personal affairs and that of the business.
2. Partnerships.
Partnerships are businesses that are owned by two or more individuals. For small partnerships, the agreement is often an oral agreement between the partners but it is highly recommended that the agreement be formalized as is done in bigger partnerships like public accounting firms and most law firms.In partnering up with individuals, it is important to outline the division of profits and expenses, as well as the expected responsibilities of the partners in a written agreement...

Public Relations - Relationship Management
Public relations: A number of organizations actively engage in 'Issues Management.' Largely, this involves scanning the news, developing communications strategies around relevant issues and trends, and then communicating their messages back through the media. Effective communications, however, is more than just managing issues through the media.
Companies and organizations must also be aware of their external publics – the people and groups outside of an organization's sphere that affect, or are affected by, what that organization does. This is known as 'Relationship Management.' It is the discipline of identifying key publics and establishing strategies for building and maintaining mutually beneficial relationships with those publics.
Identifying External Publics Like most organizations, there is a good chance you are already using media monitoring to track the issues that affect your organization. This is Communications 101. You may even be taking it one step further and conducting some kind of media analysis, including assigning tones like positive, negative or neutral to news stories. And if you're not, you should be.
Without proper analysis and evaluation, your communications team is not doing its job properly. But where it really gets interesting is when you take your existing monitoring and analysis and add another dimension to it. One of the best examples of this is tracking and analyzing quotes. Tracking quotes helps you identify your key publics.
You can see exactly what they are thinking, what they are saying, what they are doing. And by taking further small steps, such as cross-referencing tone with quotes, you can easily identify the type of relationship that exists between your organization and its different key publics. You can get a picture of what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong, and, where necessary, develop a plan to change the relationship. Obviously, the more positive the quote or article, the greater the chance that the person being quoted is an ally to issues favorable to your organization...

Diaper Rash - Why Do Babies Get Nappy Rash?
Diaper rash is something that parents hate to see on their child, however common it may be. But in the not-too-distant past variations of diaper rash could occur even into late infancy. It is something that no-one wants to see on their newborn child. The reasons for it are quite simple and entirely commonplace, but it is preventable and treatable. If your child does develop a diaper/nappy rash, quick treatment is advisable. And prevention is a matter of following some simple rules and showing diligence at key points which might lead to infection. The major cause of diaper rash is wetness. This is no big surprise.
The reason that it does not occur with any regularity in adults, after all, is that we are able to perform our bathroom rituals ourselves and know what needs to be done – essentially, what feels right and what we have learned. Babies, however, urinate quite often and will sometimes be in a dirty diaper for a while before changing. In addition to this, their stools are generally quite loose and their bowel movements are more frequent than those of adults. Unless they are changed with a regularity bordering on the obsessive, there is a chance of infection. Even then a baby with sensitive skin can become infected. In an older baby, a time of sickness which is treated with antibiotics can be a risky time, as they are prone to diarrhea and the higher risk of diaper rash that can bring. In short, even the best parents can have a case to deal with, and it is how they respond that is important.
Preventing Diaper Rash As the old saying goes, prevention is better than cure. For all that we may fear the onset of diaper rash in our children, there is no certainty of absolute and total prevention – but there is a lot that can be done to make it far less likely, and it revolves mostly around keeping your baby dry and clean as far as is possible. Your baby will not be shy about letting you know when it is in any discomfort. This can prevent diaper rash from developing, but would obviously not be a way of preventing it before it begins. The prevention of diaper rash is something that requires no small amount of diligence, as well as some luck...

Fundraising - The Four Major Forms
Fundraising is, without a doubt, extremely challenging work. For any of you with experience in this line of work, you will understand what I mean. For the rest of you, go out and volunteer your time with a local non-profit organization. After that, I think you will understand.
While this can be a challenging profession, it continues to be quite rewarding in many respects. Fundraising is simply the process of soliciting and gathering donations as money or other means, by requesting contributions from individuals, businesses, charitable foundations, or governmental agencies.Fundraising typically refers to efforts to collect money on behalf of non-profit organizations, and is at times used to refer to the identification and solicitation of investors or other sources of capital for-profit enterprises.
Typically, fundraising consisted mostly of asking for donations on the street or at people's doors. There are four major forms of fundraising. When one mentions fundraising to the average person, the image of a well-meaning person going door-to-door begging for support immediately comes to mind. While most of us have been there at some point or other, there is a lot more to this business than meets the eye.
And yes, this is a business. The business of managing relationships; relationships which, more often than not, are the key determining factor for success. The first major form of fundraising is dealing with institutional grantors. These organizations are often the most difficult to deal with, due to the inherent bureaucratic nature of these types of organizations...

Backlink - Building Solid Website Traffic
Backlink: A web site isn’t a classified ad. No one looks at web sites in some “web site newspaper.” As a matter of fact, no one will go to your site unless you specifically invite them. A web site actually needs advertising. What you need to do is build traffic to your site. There are a lot of great ways to do this and one terrific way is with backlinks.
What is a backlink? A backlink is a link FROM another site TO your site. For example, if you are a member of Restaurants Association of North West London, and someone is looking for a restaurant in your locale, then it is possible that this person sees your listing in the “Find a Restaurant” section and clicks a link to your web site. This is a backlink from Restaurants Association to your site.
Backlinks are also referred to as “in-bound links” and sometimes can be called “reciprocal links.” Many of the links that Restaurants Association have on their web site are designed to take visitors from the Restaurants Association web site to other web sites. These are usually located in a link section or a resources section.
These are also called “forward links” or “outbound links.” The significant thing to note is that a backlink brings visitors TO your site. Once visitors come to your web site, you can turn them into clients, product sales, newsletter subscribers, commissions and more...

Manchester Airport To Receive £260m Council Loan Package Amid Post-Covid Fears
Exclusive: In the absence so far of financial support from government, the ten Greater Manchester local authorities - which have a majority stake in the group - are planning to borrow themselves in order to lend to it. Jen Williams reports.
Greater Manchester’s ten councils are set to provide a finance package of more than £250m to Manchester Airport Group amid growing fears about the impact of Covid-19, the Manchester Evening News can reveal.
The town halls - which between them have a 64.5pc stake in the airport group - may not start to see any repayments for a couple of years, but are hoping that by that point it will have returned to some semblance of normality.
Manchester council is expected to provide the biggest share of the loan package, at around £143m, in line with its larger stake in the company. It is understood the other nine boroughs are expected to put in £13m each.
Senior local authority figures said the move was aimed at protecting significant long-term town hall investment in the airport, along with safeguarding tens of thousands of jobs that rely on it as a major engine of the local economy.
One official said the authorities effectively had ‘no choice’ but to protect their asset, which also owns Stansted and East Midlands airports
As yet government support for the aviation sector after the pandemic’s peak has remained unclear, although at the weekend communities secretary Robert Jenrick acknowledged the major part Manchester Airport has to play in the local economy.
MPs are being urged by councils here to lobby ministers on support for the airport, which has remained open but with passenger numbers down from 80,000 a day to just a few hundred.
Some 50,000 jobs - either directly or in other sectors such as freight, logistics and catering - also rely on it, while other parts of the city economy that are now particularly exposed, including the property sector, Manchester University and tourism, are also closely linked.
It is not clear if and when international air travel will return to normal levels, so councils have privately agreed to take out significant levels of low-interest borrowing from the government’s loan board in order to help the airport out. Manchester's leader said expert advice had been taken and that even the most 'pessimistic' scenarios had been factored in.
Servicing the new debt is likely to cost outlying boroughs - which between them own 29pc of the airport group - in the region of £600,000 a year, as Greater Manchester authorities prepare to also lose £110m in dividends they had originally expected in 2020.
Manchester council, which owns the largest stake at 35.5pc, is to provide the biggest loan sum. Its finances have relied particularly...

If - Rudyard Kipling
IF.....
IF you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken...

How Sir Richard Branson Changed His Mind Over Aid From Government
At the height of the financial crisis in 2009, billionaire Richard Branson balked at the idea of government intervention to stop companies going bust, proclaiming that weak airlines should be allowed to go to the wall. Just over 10 years later and the Virgin Group founder has had a change of heart as he fights to protect his business empire from the fallout of the coronavirus crisis. On Tuesday, he hit out at the lack of government support after Australia’s second biggest carrier, Virgin Australia, collapsed into administration after failing to secure a bailout — making it the airline industry’s first big casualty from the worst crisis in the sector’s history.
Hours before Virgin Australia entered voluntary administration, the British billionaire stepped up pleas for state aid for his airlines — Virgin Australia and UK-based Virgin Atlantic — pledging to mortgage his home and luxury holiday resort in the British Virgin Islands as government intervention on both sides of the world looked increasingly unlikely. It comes as governments are taking contrasting action on how much financial support to provide carriers with their fleets grounded and revenues evaporating in the face of the air travel shutdown.
“The whole issue of competition and support is now beginning to gather momentum and issues such as overseas ownership and existing shareholder investment are obvious areas for discussion,” said John Grant of OAG, the data consultancy. “Governments are faced with some real hard decisions about priorities and needs at the moment and perhaps some airlines...

LeBron James Made $700M As 'Silent Investor' In Beats
LeBron James' investment in Beats Electronics was apparently more lucrative than anyone knew.
On the latest episode of NBC Sports Bay Area's "Runnin' Plays: A Golden State Warriors Podcast," former NBA big man Kendrick Perkins divulged that James made hundreds of millions of dollars from his stake in Beats, which dates back to 2008.
"Nobody even knows about this when Dr. Dre got that big contract for the Beats by Dre, when they wrote him that check, LeBron James got $700 million of that," Perkins said. "He was a silent investor in the Beats and nobody knows this."
ESPN's Brian Windhorst and Marc Stein reported in 2014 that James made more than $30 million in cash and stock as part of Apple's $3-billion purchase of Beats Electronics.
Perkins described his former Cleveland Cavaliers teammate as "the chosen one in life" and said he would often tell James he hated him because "everything you touch turns into gold."
James topped Forbes' list of the highest-paid NBA players for the 2019-20 season with an estimated $92.4 million in total earnings, including $55 million from endorsements.

Boating - 10 Reasons To Do A Basic Course
Boating is a great adventure and is being enjoyed by many on a daily basis, but with that comes a great responsibility. It is not mandatory to do a boating course at this time but there are some very good reasons to get your self informed about the rules of the road.
1) You will learn about safety equipment and what you are required to have on your boat before you undertake any boating excursion.
This is very important because what you don’t have with you could make the difference between being able to handle a situation or not.
Also, that outing for the day could cost you if the sheriff stops you to spot check your boat and fines you for not having all the safety equipment required for your specific boat.
2) You will learn that driving a boat is vastly different from driving a car.
You are dealing with air and water currents. If you have never docked a boat you may think that it is easy, until that is, the current is pulling you in the opposite direction that you want to go.Understanding air and water currents will help you learn how to dock your boat.
3) Knowing how to work with lines and tying knots is part of boating. You have to be able to secure a boat properly. If your boat gets away, it is amazing how quickly the current will take it out of your reach and you will probably require the assistance of another boater to help you get to it. So learn your knots...

Marketing - Promote Your Business The Right Way
Marketing: Be it a small business or a large corporation you need a good marketing strategy. There are many ways to market your business, the question is which ways are the most effective for your product or service? You can outline your marketing strategy with this popular saying, "Who, what, where, when, and how?" First you need to know your product, is it something that people will feel they really need, what purpose does it serve?
Who is your target audience? Two major components of your target audience are what age group and which gender will be most interested in your product. Depending on what product or services you are trying to market you also may be able to target specific groups such as certain professionals or interest groups "hobbies". What is it about your product that is better than any of your competitors?
Is it of better quality, does it have a longer warranty, does it cost less than the competition? You need to know what it is about your product that is better than the other ones around.These are things you will want to tell your target audience about your product. An example might be if you are trying to market a fruit drink. You would want your audience to know that it is made with more or all-real fruit.
That there are more vitamin benefits to your drink. That it has a fruitier and more refreshing taste. These are things that are going to motivate potential customers to try it. I'm sure you have heard the first three rules of business and that is...

Marketing Research - Key Concepts And Social Media Marketing
Marketing research: Implementing a research is essential to understand the pattern of marketing. This is feasible by searching existing intelligence related to business marketing. It is a form of business research, business-to-business marketing research and business marketing research. Marketing research is done in many forms and all these forms are known as problem-identification research.
Research in advertising is done to determine the copy testing of advertisements. It is also used to know the efficiency of ads placed in any medium, the customer attention it gets, the message it delivers and how it motivates the customers to buy the product. Commercial eye tracking is done to understand the visual behavior of the customer. Ads, websites, etc., are analyzed for this.
Before an advertisement is released in the market, its performance can be forecasted with the help of copy testing which takes consumer’s level of attention, motivation, brand liking, and entertainment into consideration. When a customer buys something online he analyses it in order to make the decision, this is one of the criteria on which consumer decision research is done.
Interviews and surveys can be done to understand consumer’s level of satisfaction, which is known as customer satisfaction studies. The demographic and psychology of the people of a particular geographical region can be studied with the help of segmentation research. When analyzing is to be done about brand recognition, brand performance, brand preference and awareness, ad tracking is done.
A favorite brand can be recognized with the help of brand equity research. Tests are conducted so as to determine what the customer thinks about a brand or a product and it is specifically known as brand name testing. The demand of a product can be understood by demand estimation. After the demand of the product is taken care of, the quality should be checked from time to time. Appointing mystery shoppers who is usually an employee of the market research firm does this. He buys goods through a salesperson and notes down the whole experience.
This procedure can be used to do research about rival companies’ products. Before practical application of a concept, concept testing should be done which tells whether the targeted audience will like the idea or not. Test marketing is done by introducing a product in small numbers in the market and observing the sales, after which the product is launched on a large-scale. Following the initial phase, when the company thinks of increasing the price of the product, price elasticity testing should be carried out which shows customer reaction to price fluctuations...

Internet Business Ideas - Run An Online Business From Your Home
Internet business ideas: Stuff these envelopes and you will make a million dollars in 20 minutes. Yeah, right. Don’t buy the fluff. So, can you really run an Internet business from home?
Run An Internet Businesses From Your Home? First and foremost, there is no single internet business for every person working from home. The sooner you can come to grips with this fact, the better off you will be. Does that mean there aren’t great choices?
Of course, not. You simply have to realize the answer is dependent upon your circumstances. If you are working from home, you need to consider the level of interaction you want with customers. If you have kids and drive them all over town, customer service is going to be a problem. In such a situation, you probably need to consider a business without much interaction with customers. What about selling a product? This is a common theme on e-commerce sites, but there are downsides.
First, you have to be able to get the product to the customer in a reasonable time, the faster the better. Second, is there a large enough profit margin on the product to make all your hard work worthwhile? Third, you are going to have to deal with tax issues, as states are trying to apply sales tax to product sales on the net. Given these issues, a produce site may or may not be good for you. What about turnkey sites? Turnkey sites are pre-made sites selling something. The advantage is you don’t really have to do anything in regard to building out a site. The disadvantages, however, are significant. First, your business is not unique, so why would anyone pick you over similar sites?
Second, profit margins on turnkey sites can be mighty small. Third, they will only give you minor marketing assistance regardless of what most say. Fourth, you often are barred from modifying the site, which makes getting free traffic through search engine optimization practically impossible. All and all, this is not the best choice in my humble opinion. So, what should you do? An Internet business is no different from any other business. It takes time and hard work. The best way to pick a successful one is to give some thought to what you are passionate about. Because the net is so big, a market exists for practically anything...

Madrid - Spain Capital Facts And Things To Do
Madrid is relatively young when compared to the other great Spanish cities such as Seville and Valencia and so it lacks the traditions of the ancient Andalusian and Castilian towns. It lies on a vast open plateau and is subject to extremes of temperature, the daily variation is sometimes 22°C. The locals sum up their climate as nine months of winter and another 3 months of hell.
It is the nation's chief transportation and administrative center. Its commercial and industrial life developed very rapidly after the 1890s and today it is nation's chief transportation and administrative center, rivaled only by Barcelona. Besides it’s many manufacturing industries, Madrid are foremost as a banking, education, printing, publishing, tourism, and film production center.
The general aspect of Madrid is modern, with boulevards and fashionable shopping areas, but the old quarters have picturesque streets. In the heart of the city is the Plaza Mayor, a 17th century square, built in the style of Juan de Herrera. Madrid’s loveliest gardens can found at the Buen Retiro Park which opened in 1631. At the weekends street performers including musicians, tarot readers and puppet shows for children play in the park but this does bring in the crowds. Other landmarks include, El Pacicio Real, the huge and very opulent royal palace. A restored 1850 opera house and the imposing 19th-century building containing the national library, the national archives, and an archaeological museum. Also noteworthy is the modern University City, which transferred from the town of Alcalá de Henares in 1836...

Magic Johnson Will Provide $100 Million To Fund Loans To Minority-Owned Businesses
Magic Johnson may no longer be playing in the NBA, but the Hall of Fame member is still making valuable assists.
Johnson announced that EquiTrust Life Insurance Co., of which he owns a majority, is providing $100 million in capital to fund federal loans for minority and women business owners who have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.
EquiTrust will work with MBE Capital Partners, a lender that specializes in asset-based loans for minority-owned small businesses, to distribute the loans through the federal government's Paycheck Protection Program.The loans are aimed at supporting people of color and women who operate businesses in underserved communities, according to a news release.
The news was first reported by The Wall Street Journal."These are incredible businesses, small businesses, that have been the pillar of our community that also employ a lot of black and brown people in our community," Johnson said Sunday on MSNBC. "... We wanted to make sure that minority-owned businesses got small business loans through the PPP program."
Concerns About People Of Color Accessing Loans
The partnership was borne out of a concern that women and people of color were having difficulty accessing the loans offered by the Small Business Administration's emergency coronavirus relief program -- part of the federal government's massive stimulus package."Johnson's EquiTrust is providing critical financial support to underserved communities and businesses that have been traditionally neglected," EquiTrust and MBE Capital Partners said in a joint news release. "These small and diverse businesses often have difficulty developing strong lending relationships with big banks."
The goal is to help 100,000 businesses secure resources that will sustain them through the pandemic, MBE Capital CEO Rafael Martinez said on MSNBC.
SBA Program Has Come Under Criticism
The Paycheck Protection Program has been plagued by technical hiccups and questions about whether lenders were prioritizing the businesses that needed the money most after several deep-pocketed companies received loans, including the Los Angeles Lakers -- the storied NBA franchise that Johnson was long affiliated with. The team returned the money.After the initial $349 billion Congress allocated to the program ran dry, lawmakers replenished the fund with an additional $310 billion. Still, there have been concerns that money earmarked for smaller lenders is running low.
Advocacy organizations say businesses owned by people of color are inherently at a disadvantage. The funds are accessed through banks and participating SBA lenders -- relationships that people of color are less likely to have.
The Center for Responsible Lending estimated in April that approximately 95% of black-owned businesses, 91% of Latino-owned businesses, 91% of Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander-owned businesses and 75% of Asian-owned businesses were unlikely to receive a PPP loan through a mainstream bank or credit union...

Fear - Types And Overcoming Them
Fear: As much as there are several potential triggers to your fear, there are also as many types of fears.However, they can be categorized into three basic fears: external, internal, or subconscious.
Among the three, the subconscious and internal type of fear are most difficult to find treatment to because the person must take the initiative to recognize the source of fear and take necessary steps to overcome it.Recognizing the category in which your fears fit into will help you know how to deal with it.
External FearAmong the types of fear, this one is the easiest to diagnose and manage.It is similar to phobias wherein an outside source elicit a degree of internal fear or any manageable level of anxiety. For example, fear of spiders or fear of heights are among the most common phobias that several people share.
A feeling of fear, anxiety or discomfort is experienced by the person with that particular fear when the situation confronts them with those triggers. Since the source of fear is easier to identify, then one can easily look for alternative ways in which to confront that trigger and overcome fear.
Since external fears are often caused by negative experiences in the past involving those external sources of fears, you can adapt some techniques that will help you understand the reality of the...

The History And Development Of Pocket Watches
The history of pocket watches is often overlooked in significance because of the many other inventions that were taking place. However, pocket watches provided us with the first portable clocks giving us the power to know what time it was wherever we were.
The pocket watch was a device that was very expensive in the 16th century and only the high class could possess.In the 16th century clocks were produced using springs instead of weights, signifying the transfer from clocks to watches. These old pocket watches were the first timepieces that could be owned by the public. Owning a pocket watch signified the status,wealth and power of an individual. The 17th century made pocket watches even more desirable with a new look to the figure.
The watch had changed from its original box-like look to a new rounded and slimmer case. Craftsmen began working ever so hard to create designs on every pocket watch made. In 1675 some watchmakers discovered the significance of a spiral spring. By attaching the spiral spring to the balance, the accuracy of the pocket watch increased greatly. It was now possible to tell time by the minute as oppose to being off by a few hours. With this new discovery,the minute hand was born on the pocket watch.
The 18th century saw added improvement to the pocket watch with further development and more added features to drive up the price. Oil had become a popular method to lubricate and smoothen the movement of the hands of the watch...

Vitamin b5 - Pantothenic Acid Benefits Deficiency Dosage
The vitamin b5 is also known as Pantothenic Acid. The vitamin b5 is the most prolific of all the vitamins and is found in every type of food.In fact,it is impossible for a person to consume less vitamin b5 than they need. That means that there is little possibility that a person can have a vitamin b5 deficiency.
For this reason,there is actually no recommended daily amount that health professionals can state as everyone obtains more than enough from their normal food consumption.Deficiency symptoms such as burning feet,insomnia,leg cramps, have only taken place in exploratory conditions. Even so, severe symptoms only occurred if people also take a medication that interferes with the vitamin.
Foods that Contain Vitamin b5
Despite the fact there is no need to determine a recommended daily allowance,it does not mean that the vitamin b5 is not vital for a healthy body and mind. As a matter of fact,the vitamin b5 is essential for turning food into energy amongst other functions.The vitamin b5 is responsible for taking the fats and carbohydrates into energy. Some vitamin b5 can be found in almost every food whether it is animal or vegetable.
Obviously there are some sources of the vitamin b5 that are better than others but a balanced diet will provide more than enough.The foods with the highest vitamin b5 content are meats, salmon,eggs,beans,milk,and whole grains.
It is worth noting that the vitamin b5 is lost when grains are milled into flour and tends not to beaded back in.Therefore,processed grain foods such as bread,pasta,rice, breakfast cereal,and baked goods are not good sources of the vitamin b5. Fresh vegetables are good sources -- better than canned vegetables,because the canning process reduces the amount of pantothenic acid available...

Job Interviews - Prepare Questions In Advance
Job Interviews: An interview almost invariably closes with the potential employer asking if you have any questions. Often an applicant will ask for clarification on benefits -insurance, vacation time, etc. While these are obviously important for you to know, they plant a seed in the interviewer's mind that maybe you are more interested in what the job can do for you than in how you can help the employer.
Try to have three or four questions ready to ask that demonstrate your interest in the company and your desire to be a problem-solver. If you have been able to do some research, trot out a question or two that came to mind. If you have been able to come up with some ideas that relate to the problem, throw them out to see how the employer reacts.
If you have been able to identify some trends or problems in the industry, ask how that is going to affect the company and what they are doing to deal with it. Show your concern about industry developments and what that may bode for the future.
If some current challenges have been brought up earlier in the interview, ask for clarification and more detail. The more the interviewer interacts with you as if your concerns are mutual, and that possible solutions are something you could consider together, the more you will be seen as a valuable future member of his team and the more likely you will be asked to join that team.
Toughest Interview Questions? Today's interview questions are becoming increasingly more difficult. I have compiled a list of questions that interviewers regard as the toughest to answer. There are no right or wrong answers to the questions, but be prepared to for them to be asked.
1. Talk about yourself? (Prepare for 2 minutes)
2. If you were a Leader of a country, which problem would you tackle first and why? 3. If you made a film about yourself, who would play your character?
4. Is a Tomato a Fruit or Vegetable?
5. Describe a Tennis Ball? Be prepared for Questions like these as this will prove you really want the job, have a creative thought process, be able to sell yourself and be confident is a stressful environment...

What Is Ecommerce - A Guide To Receiving Online Payments
What is ecommerce: The internet has grown to become an integral part of our everyday lives. It has penetrated so deeply into our daily living that people now turn towards the World Wide Web for buying clothes, books, electronic equipment, food etc. For an online retailer, it becomes imperative to find ways and means to make an online transaction as easy and painless as possible.
Since most people prefer to use their credit cards while shopping, webmasters need to integrate this service into their online shopping sites. An answer to your online payment needs can be a payment processing company. The majority of online shopping sites enter into a business alliance with payment processing companies. However, you should diligently comb the market for the best deal before you sign up with a service.
Make sure that they are not overcharging you. Also, check out their reputation in the market – are they known for their fair minded financial and business transactions? This kind of a company operates through two types of services – one id intended for companies with merchant accounts with their banks and the other for companies who do not possess this kind of a bank account.The first kind of service is generally used by fairly large financial institutions and organizations dealing in independent sales. The advantage of having a merchant account is that you can receive payments within a few days of the transaction...

Positive Affirmations - The Power Of Affirmations
Positive affirmations are spoken statements that are of a positive nature. In the popular sense of the term they are spoken commands made purposefully in order to change some aspect of our life.
In order to fully understand how affirmations work and the science behind their use we must first look at the way our minds work! When we are born our brains are like empty computers waiting to be fed information.
As we grow our peers act as our programmers, they supply us with the knowledge which we channel through the conscious mind into the subconscious (our hard drive).
The subconscious mind is the biggest hard drive ever developed - it stores everything we come in contact with and by no means is all of this information of a positive nature.
All that we have heard, touched, smelt, tasted and seen are stored in the recesses of our minds. The subconscious mind holds on to this information until we need to recall it.
For example when you were young your curiosity lead you to investigate your surroundings.
When you approached a substance that was dangerous,such as fire, your parents or guardians would most likely have rebuked or scolded you if you ventured too near the flame. Perhaps you may even recall an incident when you were physically burned.
Your subconscious mind then began to relate scolding (or pain) with the intense heat of the fire and would therefore feed the feelings of the scolding incident back to you whenever you got too close to fire again, thus acting as an early warning system...
