Quality image, relevant and useful information

Until recently, customers seeking business solutions had to ask suppliers for guidance early in the purchasing process, because crucial information wasn't available anywhere else.

But today customers are better informed than ever before. By the time they approach suppliers, they generally have a clear idea of the problem they need to solve, the solutions that are available, and the price they're willing to pay.

In this world, process-driven sales machine approaches fall, short, because they give sales reps no room to experience judgment and creativity in dealing with highly knowledgeable customers.
They leave reps with little to do but compete on price. HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW

The information on your website should help visitors understand your brand and provide value. Customers like a website that is easy to navigate and understand. If it’s difficult to find your products or services, or the ordering process is cumbersome, customers become frustrated and abandon their purchase.


You should be providing unique content, so don’t outsource. Keep your content creators close to home: either within the company or utilize an agency that knows you well. Make sure to communicate regularly with the team creating content.

Logo reveal - video

Video technology was first developed for cathode ray tube television systems, but several new technologies for video display devices have since been invented. Charles Ginsburg led an Ampex research team developing one of the first practical video tape recorder.

In 1951 the first video tape recorder captured live images from television cameras by converting the camera's electrical impulses and saving the information onto magnetic video tape.

The use of digital techniques in video created digital video, which allowed higher quality and, eventually, much lower cost than earlier analog technology.

As of 2015, with the increasing use of high-resolution video cameras with improved dynamic range and color gamuts, and high-dynamic-range digital intermediate data formats with improved color depth, modern digital video technology is slowly converging with digital film technology.

Frame rate, the number of still pictures per unit of time of video, ranges from six or eight frames per second (frame/s) for old mechanical cameras to 120 or more frames per second for new professional cameras. PAL standards (Europe, Asia, Australia, etc.) and SECAM (France, Russia, parts of Africa etc.) specify 25 frame/s, while NTSC standards (USA, Canada, Japan, etc.) specify 29.97 frames. Film is shot at the slower frame rate of 24 frames per second, which slightly complicates the process of transferring a cinematic motion picture to video. The minimum frame rate to achieve a comfortable illusion of a moving image is about sixteen frames per second.

Figure 1 Apple’s master showman turns
presentations into theatrical experiences.
Steve Jobs is “the master at taking something that might be considered boring—a hunk of electronic hardware—and enveloping it in a story that made it compellingly dramatic,” writes Alan
Deutschman in The Second Coming of Steve Jobs.






Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz does not sell coffee. He sells a “third place” between work and home. Financial guru Suze Orman does not sell trusts and mutual funds. She sells the dream of financial freedom. In the same way, Steve Jobs does not sell computers. He sells tools to unleash human potential.






The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs is divided into three acts:
 Act 1: Create the Story. A strong story will give you the confidence and ability to win over your audience.

 Act 2: Deliver the Experience. Practical tips to turn your presentations into visually appealing and “must-have” experiences.


 Act 3: Refine and Rehearse. Making “scripted” presentations sound natural and conversational.

Structured Water

The structure of water means, “How its molecules are organized". We can see how water molecules join together as groups. These are called Clusters.

” Scientists came up with the idea that these Clusters work as memory cells of a certain sort in which water records its whole history of its relationship with the world as if on magnetic tape". 

Water of course remains water. But its structure, like a nervous system, reacts to any irritation. Modern instruments have made it possible to record the fact that, within each of waters memory cells, there are 440,000 Information Panels. Each of which is responsible for its own type of interaction with the environment. Source link here: Water The Great Mystery

Defense Against Rain or Sun

Parasols in Wuhan, China
In Ancient China they invented the umbrella.The umbrella was first invented in 3500 B.C. This Ancient Chinese invention was used to keep them from soaking wet when it rained. The Chinese used the umbrella to protect themselves from the sun rays. This invention was made by bamboo and oil paper because oil repels water.

The Chinese character for umbrela () and is a pictograph resembling the modern umbrella in design.

Some investigators have supposed that its invention was first created by tying large leaves to bough-like ribs (the branching out parts of an umbrella). Others assert that the idea was probably derived from the tent, which remains in form unaltered to the present day. However, the tradition existing in China is that it originated in standards and banners waving in the air, hence the use of the umbrella was often linked to high-ranking (though not necessarily royalty in China).






Today the umbrella has been upgraded in many ways. For example now a days umbrellas are smaller and some even have flashlights in them! The invention of the umbrella has gave us ideas modify this invention.
