Congratulations! You made it through 2009. Take a bow. I'm serious. I want to give you props. You endured a cataclysmic year. You rolled with the punches. You came back from the brink. You kept your faith. You're ready for another year of drama, excitement, tragedy, comedy, wonder, discovery, contribution, heartache, loss, profit, pain and pleasure.
The purpose of 2009 was simple: to prepare us for 2010. It was a year of extremes. From the low of March to the relative high of December, the world was introduced to a whole new level of volatility. But despite the lingering shell-shock, and the inevitable future-shocks, the signs are bullish. Growth is returning. A cautious confidence is emerging. But it's inside a more brutal reality. Abundance has given way to tightness. There is still massive opportunity but it's not hanging low off the ground. To succeed in 2010, we're going to have to go way out on a limb – where others are afraid to go. Where others see fear, we need to see opportunity.
In the Chinese zodiac, 2010 is The Year Of The Tiger. The Tiger is said to be lucky. The Tiger is also said to be incredibly brave, evidenced in his willingness to engage in battle or his undying courage. Maybe he's so brave because he is so lucky. Or maybe he's so lucky because he is so brave. The bottom line is that in 2010, Luck will favour the Brave.
I have been a motivator and coach for almost seventeen years. I make a living sensing the environment, scanning the trends, and intuiting the winds of change. I believe that 2010 will be a Big Year for people who are willing to be Tigers. Why? Because the majority of people are running scared. The shocks of the past two years have wedged themselves deeply into the collective psychology. "Safety First" is the filter through which the vast majority of people will process their world in 2010.
And you know what? They're wise to do so. It's brutal out there. The ice is a lot thinner than it used to be. One wrong move could sink you. The price of failure is much higher and the probability of failure is much greater. Avoiding failure is a sane strategy to follow. But avoiding failure doesn't equal success because success demands failure. Hmmm, what do I mean?
Success in 2010 requires exhaustive exploration and experimentation. The world is being reconstructed. The rules are being rewritten. The game is being reinvented. New players are entering the game. Existing players are either becoming better or they're going bust. Everything is being redefined, all the time. Every industry, including mine, is being shocked and rocked by crises that cannot be anticipated because they're so new. It's not the circle of life; it's the circus of life.
So, in this new environment, you can't play it safe if you want to win. You have to risk yourself in the pursuit of the unprecedented. The best insurance comes from being the best. And, being the best demands that you imagine, dream, design, visualize, or strategize a better way – beginning now. That's what I'm doing with these words. I'm writing them for you but, as importantly, I'm writing them for me. I'm crystallizing my own philosophy for success in 2010. I'm galvanizing my mental resources to magnetize massive success.
I'm serious. As you read these words, you're thinking about how you can win, right? You're becoming conscious of your need to succeed and how you're going to meet it. And who is helping you do that? Me, of course. I'm becoming your go-to guy for inspiration in 2010. And who are you going to tell? Everybody, right? And how is that going to benefit me? They're going to read these words. And the cycle will continue. The more people I reach, the more successful I become. What's your plan?
Here's the core insight: in an environment of constraint, you have to set yourself free. When there are fewer resources, you have to become resourceful. The winners in 2010 will use constraint to create abundance. Internal resources such as imagination and daring will replace external resources such as money and manpower. Look around you. I mean really look. Look in places you've never looked in before. Talk to people you've never talked to before. Read things you've never read before. Listen like you've never listened before. Become a detective of opportunity. It's all there. It's waiting for you. It's just hiding. It will show itself when you're ready.
But there is a price to pay. Right now, the possibilities are incubating inside of you just like these words were incubating inside me. The fact is I had to invest the time and energy to write them. I had to stop procrastinating. I had to face the bogeyman of the blank page. I had to wrestle with my own doubts. I had to find the words you needed to read. You decide whether I succeeded.

A Taste for Tech
Brett Graham '87 '92 has parlayed his love of science into a rewarding career in marketing and technology.
By Lori Ferguson

Outside of his passion for the tech world, Brett Graham '87 '92 enjoys traveling and spending time with his wife, Monica, and son, Ian (pictured) and his twin daughters, Isabella and Cecille.
As Brett Graham '87 '92 begins talking about the arc of his professional journey, his enthusiasm palpably gathers speed. "The two things I'm most passionate about professionally are learning and travel," he said. And as fate would have it, the veteran global marketer and strategist has managed to combine these loves in numerous creative ways.
Over the course of his career, the Aggie has led major integrated marketing campaigns and initiatives in e-commerce advertising with such industry giants as P&G, Starcom and Amazon. He has also lived in various states and countries and has traveled extensively, visiting all 50 U.S. states, all 32 Mexican states, all 23 Venezuelan states and 65 countries thus far. "I've got 130 more to go," he noted with a smile.
In January 2022, Graham accepted a new challenge, stepping into the role of senior director of analytics and insights at the computer software company Oracle. "There's great potential to grow at Oracle," he said with a rush of enthusiasm. He considers Oracle's positioning as a provider of both infrastructure and applications to be unique and believes that Oracle Advertising's focus on attention metrics will create great opportunity for professional development. If history is any guide, Graham won't fall short.
Graham began breaking ground as soon as he enrolled at Texas A&M University as the first Aggie from Belize. He completed a degree in geophysics in 1987 and returned to his home country to work in oil and mineral prospecting as a geophysicist for the Belizean government. "The job was appealing—I loved using numbers to solve problems, and I liked working outside," he explained. But a few years in the position led Graham to a realization: To find job satisfaction, he needed to find answers. "Prospecting is like looking for a black cat in a dark room, and it's doubly difficult when there's no cat," he said with a smile. "In prospecting, you can do everything right and still fail, and that really bothered me."
After three years in the field, Graham also realized he needed to know more about running a business, so he decided to return to school for his MBA. "Texas A&M had a great program, I loved the university, and they offered me a scholarship, so back I went." He completed his master's in 1992 and simultaneously earned a bachelor's degree in physics.
While working toward his MBA, Graham made another discovery: There's immense power to drive change in marketing. He decided he wanted to know more. "Although my plan was to return to prospecting in Belize, I decided to do a marketing internship with P&G in Mexico first. I found that I loved marketing, and P&G's brand of marketing was very analytically driven, so my experience and skill working with numbers and data were assets." And with that, the die was cast.
Merging Marketing and Science
For the next nine years, Graham led advertising initiatives for P&G around Latin America, gathering valuable experience in marketing and technology and learning to work successfully in the global marketplace. By the early 1990s, the shift toward digital advertising was well underway, and Graham saw the opportunities inherent in his ability to use statistics to guide advertising efforts. "The rise of the internet increased our ability to pinpoint messaging," he observed. Recognizing an opportunity to leverage his skills and increase his knowledge base, Graham pivoted and left P&G to join the international media agency Starcom.
The school instills the idea that you can make a difference, that there's a lot that you, as an individual, can do.
Brett Graham '87 '92
For the following nine years—apart from a brief, two-year stint as Western Union's Marketing Director for Latin America and the Caribbean—Graham led Starcom's global branding initiatives for such corporate giants as UBS, Merck and Coca-Cola. He also worked two years with Omnicom Media Group setting up an analytics team in Chicago working with clients such as Walgreens, McDonald's and Cisco.
Then, in late 2016, Amazon Advertising came calling with an irresistible prospect: launch its Analytics and Media Management team. "I saw a special advertising opportunity and knew that Amazon had an unmatched amount of data. Even though I had just returned to the U.S. and was still getting established in Chicago, it was just too exciting to pass up."
Over the following five years, Graham built Amazon's agile consulting team of analysts. "We enhanced existing advertising products by using artificial intelligence and other advanced approaches, such as natural language processing—essentially building algorithms that look for anomalies in word patterns—to weight text information in reviews and make them more helpful," he explained. "The end result delighted Amazon as well as advertisers and consumers."
This work also sharpened Graham's skill set for the next challenge, which Oracle presented in January 2022. "My time at Amazon was incredibly rewarding and I absolutely loved it, but my rate of learning had slowed down," he said. So, when the Oracle opportunity arose, Graham jumped headlong into his next adventure serving as insight team lead for Moat, Oracle's ad measurement and marketing analytics suite.
Turning Tech Maroon
In October 2021, Mays Business School leadership put a stake in the ground: They would work to propel the college to the rank of No. 1 public business school in the U.S.
A critical part of that initiative rests in gaining more placements for students in the tech industry. To achieve this goal, the college has formed Aggies in Tech, an academic and extracurricular program that will initially serve undergraduates and can also be extended to serve graduate students as well as other colleges within the university.
Among the program's goals:
Placing Aggies in jobs and internships with top-tier tech companies
Equipping students with a core competency that sets them apart
Leveraging the potent Aggie Network to engage tech industry mentors and connections
"Aggies in Tech will be a high-impact, competitive-entry academic program that provides Mays Business School students with the skills, activities and mentorship necessary to place and subsequently thrive in top-tier tech companies," said Dr. Shannon Deer '03 '04 '17, interim associate dean for undergraduate programs.
The Aggie Way
These days, Graham is testing his mental flexibility anew, seeking new ways to help advertisers work faster and smarter to achieve greater success and then scale this rapidly. And he attributes his ability to pivot so effectively in no small part to his educational experiences at Texas A&M.
"I really enjoyed the diversity of courses," he asserted. "The coupling of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience was incredibly helpful in building my mental flexibility, something that has served me well throughout my career and helped me apply the knowledge I was gaining in different and creative ways."
Being a student at Texas A&M is empowering, Graham insisted. "The school instills the idea that you can make a difference, that there's a lot that you, as an individual, can do." He also lauds the university's commitment to quality. "The bar is set very high," he added. "There's a shared determination to leave things better than you found them."
There's also a great tradition of teaching excellence at Texas A&M, Graham noted, adding that he was fortunate enough to learn from passionate, world-class teachers like Dr. William Bassichis and Dr. Tom Adair '57 in physics, Dr. Robert Popp in geology, Dr. Terry Spencer in geophysics, Dr. William Pride in marketing and Dr. Philip Yasskin and Dr. Francis Narcowich in mathematics, among others.
And then there's the incomparable Aggie ethos, he noted. "Aggies are genuinely really friendly and welcoming, and their values are first-rate. You hear repeatedly that Aggies should never lie, cheat or steal nor tolerate those who do, and that's something you integrate into your approach to life."
For these reasons and many more, Graham would like Aggies to have a greater presence in the tech industry. "They're currently underrepresented, and I know they could do a lot for the industry," he asserted. He has spoken with university representatives about the burgeoning Aggies in Tech program in Mays Business School and is enthusiastic about its prospects. "I would love to do anything I can to advance opportunities for Texas A&M graduates in the field," he observed. Considering his achievements thus far, there's little doubt that Graham's passion for improvement and Aggie pride will support and inspire other Aggies to lead the way in the digital world.

Repairs for Akron Drive Bridge Expected to Start by Early August
Winston-Salem - Repairs to multiple beams under the Akron Drive bridge over U.S. 52 are expected to start in early August. The outside lanes of the bridge in both directions have been closed since July 6 when it was struck by a tractor trailer carrying a piece of construction equipment that was above the clearance height.
Very few companies in the United States can do the type of repair that is needed, using a specialized method known as "heat straightening". Crews heat the steel beams to as much as 1,000 degrees and then use jacks to slightly adjust them, then let the beams cool down. The process requires numerous adjustments to return the beams to their original shape.
One of those companies that uses this method is currently working on another bridge in the state, and is expected to switch over to the Akron Drive bridge as soon as its current project is completed. Once work begins, it is expected to take 10 to12 days to complete the repairs.
When the contractor starts work, a lane of traffic in the southbound direction of U.S. 52 will be closed. In order to lessen the impact to motorists, the contractor will do its work at night, between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Motorists need to use caution when near the work zone, paying extra attention to traffic signs and slowing down.

Fall For Indies: Darkest Dungeon II And October's Spookiest Titles
By DAMN OS on October 19, 2021
Neighborhoods are starting a transformation from ordinary dwelling spaces to fright fests as we draw closer to Halloween. Lawns are filling up with the decorative deceased and – unfortunately for people who rightfully fear spiders – oversized arachnids. And it seems like indies can't resist the lure of the upcoming spine-chilling holiday either. A noticeable chunk of indies coming out the next few weeks have a particularly frightening slant to them. However, the news might be even more ghastly, as one of October's most anticipated releases recently fell victim to a delay.
A Trick and A Treat
Even the indie space has its juggernaut projects, and the end of October was looking ripe for a massive harvest. But current events have mirrored the season's candy-gathering traditions, offering players a trick and treat.
PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC
Let's start with the trick; Solar Ash – the second game from Heart Machine, the studio that made Hyper Light Drifter – was delayed last week. Originally set to launch in the last week of October, fans will now have to wait a little more to play it. But don't despair; the game still technically has a fall launch date. Solar Ash is coming to PlayStation platforms and PC December 2.
Darkest Dungeon II
Get ready to savor the sweet, sweet treat that is Darkest Dungeon II because it's entering Epic's Early Access on October 26. The incoming sequel continues the Lovecraftian horror narrative with similar combat and a well-known host of adventurers, but it plans on spicing things up with some changes. These include a new character called the Runaway, which you can read more about here.
It's Spooky How Many Games We Need To Play
RIP our free time because there are just too many good indies to check out. Last month's hits are still calling our name, but that's only half the reason to feel unsettled. Late October holds a score of scary-looking titles to get you into the Halloween spirit.
Into the Pit
Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC
Into the Pit got an awesome reveal at this year's Xbox Gamescom showcase, and the retro-looking roguelite is ready to launch tomorrow. When your cousin finds an ominous hole in the ground, there's no thought to turning away or try to cover it up. No. You both belong to a family of mystics and can't pass up the occult opportunities. This magic-infused, first-person title is coming to Xbox Game Pass and looks like it is ready to celebrate Halloween.
Undying is a little on the nose for the spooky season, but we won't hold that against the game. This intriguing adventure title follows a mother who, in a world infested by the undead, has been bitten by a zombie. With scant time left, she must prepare her young son to survive in the world without her. Coming to Steam Early Access October 19, Undying will task you with teaching him how to fight the hungering horde before joining the zombies' ranks yourself.
Switch, PC
Don't leave your mouth ajar when you see this game's delightfully creepy, hand-drawn art style. Hitting on October 20, Jars is a mix between a strategy, puzzle, and tower defense game. The objective? To break as many fragile containers as you can find down in the basement. But you are not out to simply be destructive; no, destroying these jars ties into saving the world.
Read the stars and decide the fate of many in this story-driven title. Luckily, you'll be playing as a Soothsayer, so you'll already have some idea how to interpret those tricky celestial bodies. That doesn't mean there isn't room for error, so be sure to think hard about your pronunciations. You can check out the announcement trailer here to decide if you should pick Grotto up when it releases October 20.
Gravewood High
On October 20, Gravewood High is entering Steam Early Access. And, let's be honest, high school is hard enough without the looming threat of mysteriously disappearing, but the students at the curiously named school just can't catch a break. Especially since the building seems to have transformed into a dangerous maze and a terrifying teacher is on the hunt for you.
Echo Generation
It's time to grab your crew and patrol the neighborhood for aliens because Echo Generation is launching on PC and Xbox Game Pass October 21. The release date trailer recently gave us a little more to look at in this beautiful, voxel-art game with some serious nostalgic vibes. If you are interested in playing a Stranger Things-like, turn-based RPG, Echo Generation might be for you.
Evertried
PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, PC
Slated to release October 21, Evertried is a tactical roguelike all about getting up a tower in the afterlife. The isometric view and pixel graphics meld together with the game's turn-based combat, creating an experience that looks both challenging and easy on the eyes. Can you reach the top?
Growbot
With its colorful palette and unique style, this point-and-click adventure follows a robot on a mission to protect her space station from an encroaching danger. The team uses the term biopunk to describe the game's aesthetic mix of the robotic and organic. Growbot will be blasting off on October 21, and the title will give you the chance to fend off the crystalline danger while exploring a vibrant alien world.
Tandem: A Tale of Shadows
PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, PC
Tandem: A Tale of Shadows is a top-down meets side-scrolling puzzle game with a curious premise. You switch between two protagonists who are out to solve a mysterious disappearance. The twist? One is a young girl and the other is her teddy bear. But don't be fooled by the cute-sounding leads – the game has a dark tone and takes inspiration from Tim Burton, Jules Verne, and Conan Doyle. Tandem: A Tale of Shadows comes out October 21.
Subway Midnight
Aggro Crab Games, the developer behind the wonderful roguelite Going Under, is publishing its first game. Developed by Bubby Darkstar, Subway Midnight's cuteness makes it feel all that more frightening. The bizarre action will take place on a train full of ghosts. As you move from one car to the next, you'll attempt to help them come to terms with their past lives. However, someone is after you, so you'd better go quickly unless you'd like to join the dead when this game comes out October 28.
Campfire Tales
Who's ready to tell scary stories around the campfire? Launching on October 28, the developer's description for this game builds a unique narrative. It reads: "DO NOT PLAY! This 8bit game is a port from a mystery source…This casual, linear, interactive story game centers around a campfire with old friends telling… tales." So, pick up Campfire Tales at your peril.
Are these unnerving titles not for you? You can find more releases in our previous Fall For Indies lists; just click on the goose.

Avalanche Shake Up the Development Pipeline
June 19, 2019 July 24, 2018 by J.D. Killian
The Colorado Avalanche intended to shift their AHL affiliation this summer, but the postseason changes didn't stop there. Intent on instilling a winning culture throughout the player development process, the Avalanche used the AHL affiliation move as the impetus to restructure their entire process.

In recent years, NHL teams have moved towards cultivating an affiliation with an AHL club as their 'minor league' development program, with the AHL team drawing on an ECHL team as their 'farm club'. Players can get shuffled up and down the pipeline as they develop skills, injuries occur and playoff scenarios develop. For the past few years, the San Antonio Rampage has been the Avalanche's AHL partner while the Colorado Eagles have been their ECHL club.
The Colorado Eagles Move to the AHL
Last summer, the shift began. The Vegas Golden Knights entered their inaugural NHL season needing to develop a farm system. The Knights snagged the Chicago Wolves as their new AHL affiliate, leaving the Wolves former NHL partner – the St. Louis Blues – high and dry. Colorado and St. Louis entered into an agreement to share the Rampage for the 2017-2018.

Meanwhile, the Avalanche negotiated a deal to bring up the Colorado Eagles to the AHL for the 2018 season, expanding the AHL to 31 teams (just like the NHL) in the process. The first piece of development change. Last October, executive vice president and general manager Joe Sakic as well as assistant general manager Craig Billington headed less than an hour up the road to the Colorado Eagles Loveland facility to announce the new 10-year agreement with the Eagles. And that was the extent of the information – until recently.
The Avalanche/St. Louis Blues sharing arrangement with the Rampage proved uniquely challenging. Unfortunately for Rampage Coach Eric Veilleux, the team missed the playoffs for the second year of his tenure. News emerged Veilleux would not be moving forward with the organization while the Avalanche were battling through the first round of the NHL playoffs. The Blues also passed on Veilleus, who went on to a head coaching position with the Halifax Mooseheads.
Speculation swirled about who would lead the Eagles as they jumped to the AHL and whether their current coaching staff could advance with the organization. Expectations ramped up during development camp when the Eagles staff played a prominent role. There were some good reasons to want the Eagles' coaches to continue into the AHL. The Eagles own a record of success. They won their second straight Kelly Cup June 9, were conference champions for three years in a row, and had five consecutive second-round postseason appearances. Meanwhile, the Avalanche's previous AHL affiliates hadn't reached the postseason in seven years, the longest drought of any NHL club.

The Eagles' winning culture looked mighty appealing and hopes emerged they could translate that success onto an AHL stage.
Greg Cronin Becomes the Eagles' Coach
On July 12, both the Eagles and the Avalanche announced Greg Cronin would take on the head coaching job for the AHL club. Cronin, who spent the last four years as an assistant with the New York Islanders, is a veteran with 30 years coaching experience.
The @Avalanche have announced that Greg Cronin will be the head coach of the @ColoradoEagles next season.

— American Hockey League (@TheAHL) July 13, 2018
However, he seems an odd choice for an NHL team focused on moving into the new younger, faster style of play. Last year, the Islanders ranked 27th in the league in shots against and struggled with clearing the puck. In a 2013 interview, he stated he did not believe shot differentials were good indicators of possession. During a year when his Toronto Maple Leafs team surrendered the most shots on goal in the league.
In the highly competitive and changing NHL environment, Cronin's hire raises some questions. The Avalanche have a lot of young defensive talent in their pipeline who need to adapt to the quicker pace of play and practice successful defensive strategies, including a focus on puck possession. Colorado's player development pipeline as a whole has been a bit of a mixed bag and one would hope the Avalanche would take the opportunity in the midst of their structural changes to bring in a fresh wind. It's the perfect time to make a change but whether the second significant shift – hiring a new AHL coach – improves anything remains a question.
The Eagles' Staff Also Promoted to the AHL
The silver lining, though, could be the third substantial change. The Avalanche decided to promote the Eagles coaching staff to the AHL along with the club. Shortly after Cronin's hiring was announced, news emerged that Aaron Schneekloth, the Eagles head coach who engineered back-to-back Kelly Cup wins, will stay with the team as an assistant, as will Ryan Tobler and goaltending coach Ryan Bach. If Cronin comes in as the person with the AHL/NHL experience to guide the Eagles in adapting to the NHL while allowing the other coaches to work their magic with the players, that could be a promising combination.
David Oliver Leaves the Avalanche
The development shake-up doesn't end with a new AHL coach. A fourth key element came into play the day Colorado announced Cronin was hired. Rumors began to circulate that David Oliver, the Avalanche Director of Player Development, was being considered for a position with the New York Rangers. Five days later, Oliver officially joined the Rangers as an assistant coach. His departure marks a substantial shift in the development program as Oliver has been the director for four years and has been with the Avalanche for 11 years.
The real question – who will fill Oliver's shoes? As of now, nothing has been announced. If Cronin moves into more of Oliver's role with the organization, he could turn out to be an effective addition. He was one of the co-founders of the United States National Development Program. He was an AHL coach for a couple of years. He understands the ins and outs of player movement, cultivating a system of player progression, and how to work with all three teams involved in an organization. He has a wide range of experience working with college players, national teams, junior programs, as well as AHL and NHL teams. In a managerial role, Cronin could be a quality acquisition.
The Utah Grizzlies Join the Organization
All of which leads to the fifth and final piece of change. With the promotion of the Eagles to the AHL, the Avalanche needed a new ECHL team. Near the end of June, the Utah Grizzlies announced their new partnership with the Colorado Avalanche and Eagles. The Grizzlies also maintain a winning tradition, making the playoffs in 10 of their past 11 season.

Formerly affiliated with the Anaheim Ducks, the Grizzlies have been pursuing a partnership with the Avalanche for years before everything aligned for the shift to happen. Back in the 1994-1995, an IHL club named the Denver Grizzlies spent a single year in Denver, winning the Turner Trophy. Their tenure was brief as the Avalanche came to Colorado just a few weeks after that championship.
This summer, the Avalanche have streamlined their player pipeline by bringing up the Eagles to the AHL and partnering with the Grizzlies. The Eagles are less than an hour drive down the road and the Grizzlies are a short plane hop away. The close proximity should help make it easy to keep an eye on players' progressions and simplify movement. It should also be easier to synchronize strategies and systems so players can move seamlessly throughout the organization. The big question remains. With all the changes, will the Avalanche be building a better development system? Only time will tell.

Kim Kardashian launches private equity firm
Kim Kardashian launched a private equity firm to acquire stakes in fast-growing media and consumer companies, with the goal of turning her fame and influence with her 329 million Instagram followers into financial returns.
The new company, SKKY Partners, is a collaboration between reality TV star turned business magnate and Jay Sammons, a former CEO of The Carlyle Group who has created a place to invest in celebrity-backed ventures.
It reflects the growing financial sophistication of a generation of artists, who have greeted dispersed audiences and the emergence of online platforms as an opportunity to make money from their personal brands without ceding value to legacy media companies that once served as gatekeepers.
Sammons is a leader in that strategy. At Carlyle, he has taken a multi-billion dollar private equity firm into the unfamiliar world of show business, and has generated outstanding returns from star-studded deals, including investing in headphone maker Beats by Dre.
But her 2019 acquisition of a stake in Big Machine Records sparked controversy when Taylor Swift, one of the brand's biggest stars, complained that the deal had handed control of the lead recordings of six of her multi-platinum albums to a man she viewed as her. Nemesis, CEO of Music Scooter Brown.
Sammons' latest project Accompanying him with a Family has delivered a steady stream of celebrity dramas after gaining fame in 2007 through the hit reality TV show. keeping up with the Kardashians.
Since then, they've proven a knack for monetizing their ability to add celebrity shine to consumer brands, including lingerie brand Skims, and KKW, a makeup brand that Coty Cosmetics invested $1 billion in in 2020.

SKKY announced its arrival in a tweet saying that "target sectors include consumer products, digital and electronic commerce, consumer media, and hospitality and luxury." The company provided few other details and did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
No money has yet been raised to carry out the planned investments, according to the Wall Street Journal, which revealed that Kardashian's mother, Kris Jenner, will also be a partner.
But other companies have tested institutional demand for celebrity-backed investments focused on the consumer sector, and have enjoyed a measure of success.
Stock files show that Marcy Venture Partners, a company co-founded by rapper Jay-Z, last year began raising money for a second institutional fund with a goal of $200 million.
Another celebrity-backed company, Casa Verde Capital, has invested in products ranging from fintech platforms to cannabis-based snacks. The company's website confirms its relationship with rapper Snoop Dogg, whom it describes as a "leading icon paving the way in pop culture" and "a key member of the . . . team responsible for crafting the company's identity."

Q: Silly confusion about the substitution for proving the convergence of limits In proving the convergence of limits, my friend pointed out to me that I use a substitution method which is not valid. For example, if I want to prove that $$\frac{x^2y^3}{x^4+y^4}$$
converges to $0$, I would use the substitution $x=r\sqrt{\cos{\theta}}$ and $y=r\sqrt{\sin{\theta}}$. Clearly, $(x,y)\to(0,0)$ implies $r\to 0$.
But then $$\frac{x^2y^3}{x^4+y^4}=\frac{r^5\cos{\theta}\sin^{3/2}{\theta}}{r^4}=r \cos{\theta}\sin^{3/2}{\theta}.$$
Now, since $\cos{\theta}\sin^{3/2}{\theta}$ is bounded, we have $$r \cos{\theta}\sin^{3/2}{\theta}\to 0$$
So $(x,y)\to(0,0)\implies r\to 0\implies \frac{x^2y^3}{x^4+y^4}=\frac{r^5\cos{\theta}\sin^{3/2}{\theta}}{r^4}\to 0 $
The problem that has been pointed out to me is that,
$$\lim_{(x,y)\to(0,0)}\frac{x^2y^3}{x^4+y^4}=\lim_{r\to0}\frac{r^5\cos{\theta}\sin^{3/2}{\theta}}{r^4}$$
doesn't necessarily hold. But they couldn't tell me why it is wrong. I've seen that if the function $f$ that we're taking the limit is continuous, then $\lim_{x\to a}g(x)=b$ and $\lim_{y\to b}f(y)=c$ implies $\lim_{x\to a}f(g(x))=c$ but I'm not sure how this applies in this situation. So my question is, in what situation is making the substitution valid? and what is wrong with applying this method in this situation?
Edit: I found a solution which seems to work.
we have $$(a^2+b^2)\geq\frac{(a+b)^2}{2}$$ so
$$(x^4+y^4)\geq\frac{(x^2+y^2)^2}{2}\implies \frac{x^2y^3}{x^4+y^4}\leq \frac{2x^2y^3}{(x^2+y^2)^2}=\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}xy^{3/2}}{x^2+y^2}\right)^2$$
Now, use polar coordinates,
so $x=r\cos{\theta}, y=r\sin{\theta}$ gives
$$\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}xy^{3/2}}{x^2+y^2}\right)^2=\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}r^{5/2}\cos{\theta}\sin{\theta}^{3/2}}
{r^2}\right)^2=\left(\sqrt{2}r^{1/2}\cos{\theta}\sin{\theta}^{3/2}
\right)^2$$
$\sqrt{2}r^{1/2}\cos{\theta}\sin{\theta}^{3/2}$ clearly converges to $0$. We can use the squeeze theorem to show that $\frac{x^2y^3}{x^4+y^4}$ also converges to $0$

A: No, that substitution is not valid. Since you deal with the square roots of $\cos\theta$ and of $\sin\theta$, that substitution only provides information concerning what happens if $x,y\geqslant0$. So, if$$f(x,y)=\begin{cases}1&\text{ if }xy>0\\-1&\text{ if }xy<0,\end{cases}$$then your method would lead you to the conclusion that $\lim_{(x,y)\to(0,0)}f(x,y)=1$, whereas, in fact, that limit doesn't exist.

The Social Network - Society's Beliefs And Ideas Essay
1367 WordsNov 7, 20116 Pages
In the biopic The Social Network directed by David Fincher there are various ideas portrayed which challenge society's common values. These are inclusive of the belief of everlasting friendship, what you see is what you get and perception and social class don't matter. The film contrasts these general issues and shows the audience that they are not always true through a range of visual, aural, mise en scene and editing techniques. The idea of friendship being forever lasting is heavily challenged through techniques such as composition, dietetic and non-diegetic music and the overall fragmented nature of the film. The first instance of this is shown at the beginning of the film where Mark and Erica's relationship falls to pieces. The first shot of the scene is the only instance where they are together in the same frame, which portrays that they are on good terms. This does not last long, as over-the-shoulder shots become dominant and they are shown to be visually divided. Compositionally, they are not in the same shot which foreshadows the ending of their friendship. The up-beat diegetic music in the background also signifies that their relationship is rocky and has its highs and lows. The film also shows that even the best of friends may not survive the conflicts and differences between them, and is portrayed through the friendship of Mark and Eduardo. When Mark develops the idea of "facemash", he is in need of his only friend, Eduardo. The non-diegetic music stops when Eduardo walks into the dorm room, where he shows compassion for Mark's break-up and shows that he is both serious and considerate. This is also demonstrated through high and low angles where Eduardo is shot from a low angle, making him look superior to Mark who is shot from a high angle, resulting in the idea that he is somewhat weaker. Eduardo sinks down to his level, and this shows the audience

The law dictates that the chairman of the WCAB must assign a case for reconsideration to a three-member panel. The panel can do several things with a petition for reconsideration. It can deny the petition; it can grant reconsideration and decide on the claim; it can grant reconsideration for further proceedings; or it can dismiss the petition.
With a denial, the panel will adhere to the decision made by the workers' compensation judge or it can issue its own decision. When granting reconsideration and giving its own decision, the panel can rescind the decision being protested and send the case back to the judge for more proceedings.
When there is a reconsideration for more proceedings, the following may occur: the case is reheard so more evidence can be provided; another medical exam can be given; there can be a permanent disability rating obtained; it can be up for further study; the case can be reassigned to the board in its entirety for a decision; or other actions can be taken so the record can be completed. Finally, the petition can be dismissed because it is not a final order, it is untimely, or for miscellaneous reasons.
Workers' compensation benefits are not guaranteed, but the state tries to provide everyone who makes a workers' compensation claim a fair chance to have their claim approved. A law firm that helps clients with every aspect of workers' compensation cases is crucial to the process and should be called from the start.

The new season is approaching and as always the world of football will have a countless amount of storylines to follow. One of those tales will involve Barcelona striker Luis Suárez.
The hitman from Salto has scored goals everywhere he's been since emerging on the scene back in Uruguay for his boyhood club Nacional Montevideo. His killer instinct has led him to be successful at Groningen, Ajax, Liverpool and now at Barcelona, the team he joined in the summer of 2014.
121 goals and three seasons later, Luis Suárez has proven to be a brilliant investment for Barcelona and El Pistolero is now focusing on the 2017/18 campaign which will undoubtedly be one of the most landmark in his career.
At a club level, Luis Suárez and his teammates have to get revenge. The Champions League quarterfinal knockout against Juventus combined with losing the league to arch-rivals Real Madrid made last season the most disappointing campaign in Barcelona's recent history. On a personal level Suárez did reasonably well, scoring 37 goals in 51 games but compared to the year before – 59 goals in 53 games – the Uruguayan dropped off a little bit.
Normally, a player scoring 35 plus in a season is a great achievement and the footballer in question would be quite rightfully praised. However, the word normal doesn't apply to Suárez as he is simply the best No9 of his generation and one of the most extraordinary players in the history of the game.
So on a club level, Suárez has a big season coming yet it can't compare to the challenges that lie ahead in his international career. Because for Uruguay, Suárez faces four key clashes in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualification with participation for the 2018 World Cup in Russia not yet guaranteed.
Suárez has enjoyed 50 days of vacation – longest since 2009.
Uruguay is still in a position that offers direct World Cup qualification but a dramatic dip in form that saw La Celeste lose three consecutive qualifiers has made sure that the side is just three points ahead of sixth-placed Ecuador – who won't travel to Russia as the table lies.
At 30-years-of-age, the upcoming World Cup is likely the last edition of football's biggest showpiece wherein Luis Suárez can be a protagonist, taking in mind that a sportsman's best years are normally between 28 and 32.
Luis Suárez will be the man the whole of Uruguay will be looking at over the next few months. His qualities could be decisive as World Cup qualification is on the line for the four-time world champions.
As two-time European Golden Shoe-winner, Suárez might not have anything to prove anymore but something that separates good players from the best is staying hungry for success, regardless of how much they have already won.
That mentality makes me say that Suárez will conquer the challenges of the upcoming season. It's what he has been doing throughout his whole career.
