More than 33,000 people die from gunshot wounds every year in the United States — victims of suicide, assault, accidents, and even crossfire between armed citizens.

Most of those struck by a bullet end up in the hospital (81,000 people were hospitalized with gun-related injuries in 2014).

If you're one of those people, that injury likely brings pain and a good deal of stress. There's also a risk of disability, trauma, and further treatment required down the line. Читать дальше...

Nike is facing a scary time in its history.

The sportswear giant announced earnings on March 21. The company's sales and profits were hit by a slowdown in the retail industry. Sales growth for next quarter is looking bad, too. 

This has analysts seeing next fiscal year as a "rebase year." The company is now focusing on shifting away from wholesale, and to building its direct-to-consumer infrastructure. As Nike shifts to focus on both direct to consumer and online... Читать дальше...

The NFL hopes to make watching its games a little less painful.

In a letter to fans written by Roger Goodell, Goodell said the NFL is looking for ways to improve the speed of the game, including addressing the number of TV breaks and the length of those breaks.

With networks showing an average of 69.8 commercials per game during the 2016 season, games can often run long, with frequent breaks in game play. Additionally, as of 2014, only 8% of a broadcast was gameplay, with 24% of the broadcast showing commercials. Читать дальше...

Several years ago I was asked to run a negotiation workshop for the sales staff of a major magazine publisher.

It was — and is — a much-admired company, so I welcomed the chance to get an inside look at how it operates.

I met in advance with senior management to learn what's negotiable when they sell their advertising pages and how they judge success.

One guy sketched what he described as a typical deal, but the woman sitting next to him said, "That's crazy. Читать дальше...

President Donald Trump took a hardline on thawing US relations with Cuba during the final weeks of his campaign, likely in a move to shore up his support with some segments of the electorate.
