The Best Gifts Don’t Come from Amazon, They Come from the Heart

Amazon.com is the information economy’s superstore. One can buy just about anything one desires from Bezos and company. If you’d like, Amazon's Prime will even rush it to your doorstep. Such is the state of retail today. The mass appeal of fast-moving goods (that are just a click and a local warehouse away) is a winner for the consumer goods-based economy, and for Amazon and its investors. Sadly, the obliteration of …

Facebook Rebrands, The Company Is Now Known As ‘Meta’

Remember Second Life? Facebook didn't buy it, but now the social networking behemoth wants to become it. This is not a joke. Facebook has changed its company name to Meta. The word 'Facebook' now refers to just the social networking application and site.

So, Squaw Valley is no more. Palisades Tahoe is the new name. https://youtu.be/iN-cpfqFP7Q High Country News spoke to Darrel Cruz, director of the Tribal Historic Preservation Office at the Washoe Tribe about the …

"Marketing effectiveness" sounds like a webinar that someone once forced you to attend, or worse, a graduate seminar on the way to a Master in Business Administration.

The Word from Dole: We Are Wasting So Much Food

Food is the single largest component that takes up space in U.S. landfills.  U.S. residents waste almost 40 million tons of food every year – more than any other country in the world. In fact, the average American family of four discards $1,600 a year in fresh produce. This colossal waste contributes to global warming and does nothing to address the global hunger crisis. The Dole Sunshine Company is bringing …
