If Oprah were to recognize my novel by placing it in her “Book of the Month Club”, the novel would contain a message about losing your ability to tell the truth. As children we are told to always be truthful, though adults may tell us white lies. Lies are told to protect yourself or someone else from the truth. Generally, we fear the outcome of our truthful statement. Rarely do we tell a lie that is not to protect ourselves or another; for example if you were throwing a surprise party you would lie about why you invited the guest of honor over. However, as an adult you are able to function without

Regardless of your business status you are surrounded by easily accessible alternatives that could always improve upon or even help expand your business based upon delivery of the content for which you provide online.

Virgin Cars, an internet car retailer, was launched in May 2000. Virgin predicted that they would sell 24,000 cars within the first year.

"Virgin" is currently the third most recognized brand in Britain and it is commonly associated with the identity of its founder Richard Branson. Branson is not your typical corporate businessman but rather a risk-taking entrepreneur that emphasizes the fun in every activity he is driving the Virgin group into. Virgin's best known operations are probably air travel (the Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Express airlines) and music stores (Virgin Megastores), but they are also involved in trains, finance, internet services, soft drinks, mobile phones, cars, wines, publishing, and bridal wear to name but a few. Although Virgin has successfully developed a differentiation strategy in each of these sectors, some of the group's

When you grow up in a small town the one thing that is the most difficult to withstand is boredom. At least, that’s how it is for the youth of the area. However, when you look at it from an older and more mature perspective you might realize that the main issue with some small towns is job availability, as well as the town’s revenue for different projects, etc. Recently my hometown has been undertaking a few different projects that will really benefit the area and it’s economy. The youth league softball program has grown tremendously within the past few years. Due to that improvement, Sallisaw was chosen to host a state tournament. Which was wonderful until we realized that our softball complex was not best suited for a tournament of this magnitude.

The teams would rather make a thirty minute commute than stay in a hotel that does not have a swimming pool. The next project Sallisaw is undertaking is bringing in a well-known hotel

Whereas many past stage models of Web design involved a linear approach toward the development of small business web presence, Burgess’ model builds off of Anghern’s (1997) approach focusing on virtual spaces that websites should occupy including: a virtual information space where information is passed from business to customer; virtual communication space (place to communicate with customers); virtual distribution space (automated delivery of goods); and a virtual transaction space (automated orders and payments). One of the fundamental differences between Burgess’s Web Presence Pyramid Model and previous models is the inclusion of small business presence on third party websites. In a 2012 study on the effectiveness of the web presence
