As is common in many aspects of life, there are lessons we learn that we wish we’d known sooner. When it comes to being a small business owner there are insights you can only gain from gathering years of experience. That is why it’s important to surround yourself with people that know things you don’t.

The coronavirus pandemic has placed tremendous stress on the American economy. More than 55 million Americans have filed for unemployment, and more than 100,000 small businesses have been permanently shuttered, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Though the news seems dire, these changing times could present an opportunity if you are a hopeful entrepreneur.

Whether you have been planning to start a business for years, you have been laid off and are looking for new opportunities or you are moving your existing business in a new direction, now might be the time to figure out how to start a business.

With a chaotic and largely unsuccessful spring semester behind it, the country is getting ready for a school year unlike any other--and teachers, staff, and parents will need all the help they can get.

Education technology companies are well positioned to capitalize on the shift to remote learning.

Coming up with a business idea and starting a business can seem overwhelming and complicated. There are so many things you have to consider from coming up with an excellent idea to registering a company, all the way to business planning, fundraising and much more.

That is why we have put together this in-depth guide to take you by step by step through how you can start a business.

With the ongoing move of smart phones towards near-ubiquity, much of society has come to take these do-all devices for granted. In overcoming the novelty of smart phones, many of us have lost our one-time sense of awe at this technology, and have ceased marveling at the effect it has had on the world around us. However, it is undeniable that smart phones have exerted a huge and multi-faceted impact on society, and continue to do so to this day.

Video: The Hard Quartet – “Rio’s Song”

Directed by Jared Sherbert. From The Hard Quartet, out October 4 on Matador.

The whole idea of an indie rock supergroup is kind of ridiculous but here we are. The Hard Quartet is Stephen Malkmus from Pavement and Matt Sweeney from Chavez, both on Matador Records, plus Drag City’s Emmett Kelly and Jim White. Put ’em together and what have you got? Skibidi-Bobbidi-Boo!

The song’s good (we love the 90s!) but the video’s great. Especially if you’re familiar with the Stones’ 1981 “Waiting On A Friend” promo. They went to great lengths to capture the vibe. Director Jared Sherbert told Pitchfork, “The original staircase is now surrounded by businesses, so we shot at the nearly identical staircase next door. The St. Marks Bar & Grill is gone, and, although there was another bar in the neighborhood with almost the exact same layout, International Bar was incredibly accommodating and encouraged us to shoot there, which just felt right for this. The apartment window with the guy daydreaming has changed, but a neighbor a few doors down let us use hers.”

Sweeney captures Mick’s aura without stooping to an impression while Malkmus totally nails Keith’s elegantly wasted swagger.

One of the most famous paintings of Catalonian surrealist Salvador Dali is The Persistence of Memory, the work that prominently features melted clocks. Dali produced the painting when he was 26. He was to live until age 84 (d: 1989) and over his career was to produce more than 1,500 paintings with his “paranoiac-critical” method that is highly distinctive, combining the bizarre with hyper-realistic detail. (What is also somewhat bizarre is that The Salvador Dail Museum, which holds a massive amount of Dali’s work (in addition to paintings and drawings, he produced sculptures, photos, jewelry, and more), is located in St. Petersburg—not the one where The Hermitage is located, but the one where the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team plays.)

The Persistence of Memory has not only gotten a tribute from such popular shows as “Doctor Who” and “The Simpsons,” but there are countless posters of it that have adorned the walls of college dorms since the late 1960s, when various popular drugs caused the perception of things that resembled what Dali rendered. (One interesting aspect of these posters is that while they are typically the common 24 x 36 inches size, The Persistence of Memory measures just 9.5 x 13 inches (which is almost the size of an album cover: 12.4 x 12.4 inches).)

Dali was one of those artists who became as business-savvy as he was aesthetically capable, something of a forerunner for artists including Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst.

David Bowie was not a member of the so-called “27 Club,” which consists of Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse, all of whom died at age 27. Bowie died at 69. While the others arguably contributed to their demises—Jones, drowning; Hendrix asphyxiated on his vomit while on barbiturates; Joplin heroin overdose; Morrison heart failure thought to be a consequence of a heroin overdose; Cobain self-inflicted shotgun wound; Winehouse alcohol poisoning—Bowie didn’t die of what might be considered a “rock and roll death.” Rather, he died of a horrible disease, liver cancer.

Given the additional 42 years, Bowie certainly produced more music than any those others. He released 26 studio albums and nine live albums during his life. In addition, there were eight EPs, 128 singles, 46 compilation albums, and six box sets. Post-mortem there have been one studio album, 13 live albums, one soundtrack album, one compilation album, four EPs, and six box sets.

During their lives, Jones played on eight Stones albums; Hendrix released three studio albums and one live; Joplin four albums; Morrison six; Cobain three studio albums; Winehouse two studio albums, two live albums and a compilation album.*

So those six artists produced a combined total 30 albums during their short lives, or fewer than that Bowie produced during his life (35, just taking the studio and live albums into account).**

We have previously published articles by the Australian AIDS-and-biology researcher Cal Crilly, and here is yet another installment. Cal is someone who digs into scientific studies. He does biological detective work and finds gems that hide in plain view, things we don't normally understand and that even the experts do not see as they are not trained to put discordant facts together and question basic assumptions. What this new article tells us is that retroviruses - the same kind that are thought to cause immune deficiency or AIDS - are useful and necessary for our immune system to function correctly. That of course tends to leave the hypothesis of a viral causation of AIDS in grave trouble. I say 'hypothesis' because no one has proven, or even come close to a coherent explanation for, the mechanism of AIDS causation by HIV. How does a retrovirus that is by nature a benign particle, cause devastation of the immune system? Here we have several scientific studies published in the world's finest journals, which attest to the fact that retroviruses are part and parcel of the human organism, that they are needed to provide certain defensive capabilities against invaders, and that they are not pathogenic. So we might ask ourselves why HIV tests (thought to indicate the presence of a retrovirus) are still performed, and why doctors are still recommending the use of toxic anti-retroviral drugs to kill what, rather than a foreign invader, appears to be part of normal human metabolic processes. Cal Crilly lays it out for you, citing and linking the sources......

Cory Terry Died After Drinking Red Bull, $85 Million Wrongful Death Suit Claims, is the title of a recent article in the Huffington Post that reports on a rather unusual death. Cory Terry downed a Red Bull when he finished a basketball game and a few minutes later he died of a heart attack. Red Bull comes in different formulations, the dark blue normal and a - supposedly more healthy - 'diet' or sugar free version, which is the light blue one. To be sure, we don't know which one Terry preferred. Was it the normal or the diet version that killed him? Betty Martini believes it was 'diet' and that the damage was done by a specific ingredient: the aspartame that supplants sugar in the diet version. Betty says she knows of other cases of athletes having heart attacks after consuming soft drinks that contain aspartame. She has been trying to alert press and authorities to the dangers of the methanol-containing sweetener. I am reproducing her lengthy email here because she goes into considerable detail. If you love diet drinks or know someone who does, read this or let them read it. The data might save your life. Here goes Betty Martini......

After conducting "one of the most comprehensive risk assessments of aspartame ever undertaken", the European Food Safety Authority has released its verdict on 10 December 2013. The agency came to the conclusion that aspartame and its breakdown products are "safe for human consumption at current levels of exposure". The EFSA press release says that this was an important step forward in "strengthening consumer confidence in the scientific underpinning of the EU food safety system and the regulation of food additives". So the message seems to be that we should all just move on to other things. Leave aspartame alone and better yet - drink some of that "diet" Coke. But should we really? Could perhaps the power of money and influence behind big food have had a determining effect on that decision? We cannot be certain what exactly caused the EU regulator to give aspartame a clean bill of health rather than to acknowledge the sweetener's widely known dangers. Fact is - they disregarded every single study that showed aspartame to have adverse effects. Prof. Erik Millstone of the University of Sussex Science and Technology Policy Research Unit believes that EFSA has arrived at its conclusion by opportunistic interpretation of the studies that were reviewed. Most of the industry funded studies were given straight A's, while independent studies were - without exception - given an 'F' rating. Millstone says that "The EFSA Panel opportunistically accepted at face value almost all of the studies suggesting that aspartame is harmless, while entirely discounting every single study indicating that aspartame may be harmful, even though the quality, power and sensitivity of many of the studies that were discounted were markedly superior to those of the contrary studies deemed reliable."...

Well, I guess I had to see it to believe it. After reviewing Time-Life's set of Laugh-In's third season, where all 26 episodes were affected by a serious mastering error, I didn't think the problem would have carried over to any of the other sets. In this set of the fourth season with 26 more episodes from the show's 1970-71 season, ONE episode (#22) seems to have come out right but the remaining 25 are still afflicted. I'll talk more about that in the quality section, but first a bit about the show itself:

Enjoy the first of our new format of messages from David Legge, also available to watch on our YouTube Channel! In this two-part message, David encourages us to choose to praise - no matter what our circumstances - in order to affect our mood. Join us for this first part, as we find out what praise is and what it looks like. This sermon is available now from https://www.preachtheword.com in MP3 audio and on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord) in HD video...

In this second part of his message 'Praise Time!', David looks at what praise does - the effects praise can have upon your life's circumstances and your own personal well-being. Learn some of the practical outcomes of what happens when you activate the power of praise! This sermon is available now from https://www.preachtheword.com in MP3 audio and on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord) in HD video...

Part 6 of our series on 'The Holy Spirit' begins our look at 'The Work Of The Holy Spirit'. The Holy Spirit is the critical prime mover in the work of redemption. He established salvation for us but now He is also the One who applies salvation to us. In the next two studies, we will see how the Holy Spirit personally works in our lives to conform us to the image of Jesus. This episode will look at the Spirit's work of 'Conviction and Regeneration'. Why not share this message, which is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

Part 7 of our series on 'The Holy Spirit' continues our look at 'The Work Of The Holy Spirit'. The Holy Spirit is the critical prime mover in the work of redemption. He established salvation for us but now He is also the One who applies salvation to us. We are learning how the Holy Spirit personally works in our lives to conform us to the image of Jesus. Last time we considered the Spirit's work of 'Conviction and Regeneration', in this episode we will look at the Spirit's work of 'Empowerment and Sanctification'. Why not share this message with others? It's available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

In Part 28 of 'The Holy Spirit' series, it's 'The Gifts of Healings' - what are these gifts and how can we expect them to operate today? Is it God's will to heal? Should we pray for healing? Does that prayer always get answered? These are some of the questions we seek to answer from what the Bible has to say about healing. This is the first of two studies on this gift. This study is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

For Part 29 of 'The Holy Spirit' we have the second episode of our look at 'The Gifts of Healings'. David further explores this gift in the Bible and how it operates today. He considers whether, as some claim, using medicine is somehow showing a lack of faith in the healing gift. He also seeks to answer a common objection to this gift - if you 'have' it why don't you go and heal everyone in the hospitals and hospices? In these two studies we are seeking to biblically, honestly and sensitively explore a subject that dominated the ministry of Jesus and the Apostles and that we are promised to experience in some capacity today. This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

For Part 31 of our series on 'The Holy Spirit', we begin our consideration of 'Tongues'. What is the gift of tongues? What is it for? Is it a private prayer language or to be used in public in the church? Are there rules around the use of tongues in the church? These are some of the questions David considers in this first study on the vocal gift of different kinds of tongues. This sermon is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

Part 32 of our series on 'The Holy Spirit' forms the second episode on the gift of 'Tongues'. David Legge considers more questions that people ask about this gift of the Spirit. You may have had some of these questions yourself after the last study. Is there such a thing as public tongues and private tongues and is there a difference between these? Are we out of control when we speak in tongues? Is there a danger of demonic tongues? Do we have to be careful in seeking this gift in case we receive something harmful? Join us we look for the answers! This sermon is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...

Join us for Part 34 of 'The Holy Spirit' as we continue looking at the gifts of the Spirit. We come now to the final gift of the Spirit, 'Prophecy'. This is the first of a two-part final study which concludes this series and our lessons on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. In this episode, David Legge considers the questions of who can prophesy and what prophecy actually is. Come with us to see what God’s word actually teaches about this vital gift that the church needs to be built up as Christ intended. This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format and in HD video on our YouTube Channel (https://youtube.com/PreachTheWord)...
