Crypto TREND 2017-01

Everyone has heard how Bitcoin and other crypto currencies have made millionaires of those who bought as recently as a year ago. Gains of 1,000% or more are not just possible, they have been common place with many of these crypto currencies. Someone who bought Bitcoin in May 2016 at less than $500, would have had a gain of 1,400% in about 17 months. Then over the past few days, we saw Bitcoin lose almost $1,000, so to say these crypto currencies are volatile would be a massive understatement.

Since the inception of Bitcoin in 2008, we at Trend News have been skeptical of crypto currencies’ ability to survive, given that they present a very clear threat to governments who want to see and tax all transactions. But while we may still be cautious on the actual crypto currencies, we are very aware of the potential of the underlying technology … Read more

Cats – The Nine Lives Of Innovation – Stephen C. Lundin Ph.D, With Jimmy Tan

I was fortunate to recently be in Melbourne at the Australian Institute of Management breakfast at which Stephen Lundin spoke about his new book – CATS: The Nine Lives of Innovation.

You would remember him as the author of the best selling book FISH : A Remarkable Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results, which was inspired by the Pike Place Fishmarket in Seattle. Remember the message in FISH – Be There; Play; Make Their Day; Choose Your Attitude – simple but immensely powerful. The Pike Place Fishmarket, as a result of his book, is now an international tourist destination!

CATS, his new book,is the same – a simple but powerful message, communicated within an innovative framework via a fun process that makes the message of innovation accessible to all. So if innovation has always been a mystery, or even a threat, then this book is worth a … Read more

Heisman Trophy – The Race to Claim the Title of College Football’s Premier Player is Heating Up

As conference play approaches, each of the pre-season Heisman hopefuls has either lived up to our expectations of them or begun their slow slide into obscurity. The player who emerges as the final victor will depend not only on outstanding personal performances, but on their team’s ability to consistently win football games – especially key games in their schedules. Early season hopefuls included Ohio State’s Troy Smith and Ted Ginn, Jr., Oklahoma’s Adrian Peterson, West Virginia’s Steve Slaton, Chris Leak from Florida, Kenny Irons of Auburn, Notre Dame’s Brady Quinn, Michigan’s Michael Hart, and Northern Illinois’ Garrett Wolfe to name a few.

Let’s take a quick look at how the first three weeks have played out for these notable candidates. Many sportswriters have identified Ohio State’s Troy Smith as the man to beat for the 2006 Heisman award. Not only does Troy Smith have patience in and accuracy from the … Read more

Boise State Football Helmet – A History

No football team has captured America’s attention in recent years quite like the Boise State Broncos. A school that was just a junior college until 1967, shocked the world when it upset the University of Oklahoma in an overtime win of 43-42 in the 2007 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The game featured trick plays, unbelievable comebacks, multiple lead changes, and a 2 point conversion in overtime on Statue of Liberty play. The program is not just defined by that game, however, as they returned to the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl (a BCS game) in 2010 and regularly finished ranked in the Top 25. They have also defeated a number of other Automatic Qualifier schools like Georgia and Virginia Tech.

Boise State’s first helmet as a 4 year university (Boise State College) was believed to be all orange with a blue stripe. It was later switched to all blue. In 1972, the team … Read more
