Valentine Greeting
This Valentine Greeting is filled with good wishes, a chance to win a new phone system, an invitation and information we hope you'll find useful and interesting. It's not the typical Valentine, but what is the typical Valentine anyway? The first written Valentines are attributed to Charles, the Duke of Orleans, in 1415. While imprisoned in the Tower of London, he wrote romantic verses to his wife in France. "Love Notes" were Valentines from the time of the American Civil War which were designed to look like authentic currency. They were eventually banned. (Sounds like Counterfeit to me!) Win a new Toshiba Phone System or a Flat Screen TV or a Tablet Computer!
COMMWORLD of Kansas City and Toshiba are partnering to bring you the Phone-A-Saurus contest...the most incredible offer since the Jurassic period. Create a short video to tell us why you need a new business phone system. Use your digital camera, cell phone or other video device and don't worry too much about making it look professional. Just make your video 3 minutes or less of entertainment, originality and creativity.

Nortel Phone Systems are like Dinosaurs - they're extinct.
Is your business phone system a Nortel system? Did you know that Nortel phone systems are no longer manufactured and haven't been made in years? On January 14, 2009, Nortel Networks, Inc. filed for bankruptcy after years of turmoil and a monumental economic slide. On January 16, 2012, The Huffington Post stated, "Opening arguments are expected Monday in the trial of former executives at insolvent Nortel Networks Corp. who are accused of defrauding investors ahead of one of the biggest corporate collapses in Canadian history." The Toronto Star quotes a financial analysis professor at Rotman School of Management, who also called the demise of Nortel "the biggest (financial scandal) in Canada, one of the biggest in the world". Bob Bennett, Founder & CEO of COMMWORLD of Kansas City is a columnist for KC Business Magazine on the subject of Business Philosophy.
Bob's latest article found in the February issue is titled "Star Matter". This month's issue of KC Business magazine profiles some of Kansas City's Rising Stars. Writing this article before the issue does not allow me to know who comprises this constellation. However, I wish to go out on a limb and share what I believe to be the essence of the process for becoming a Rising Star.
To begin, I would say that a Star's main priority when rising in the morning is
to... Space for Lease or Building for Sale...
We're looking for a new tenant or a buyer for this beautiful building. If you know
of a company needing space, please share this flyer and have them contact Bob Bennett
at COMMWORLD for details. Fun Phone Facts...
What does Valentine's Day have to do with the invention of the telephone?On the morning of February 14, 1876 - Valentine's Day, an attorney named Marcellus Bailey went to the U.S. Patent Office in Boston, Massachusetts. He filed for a patent on behalf of his client, Alexander Graham Bell, for "Improvements in Telegraphy". It didn't even mention the word "telephone". Later that Valentine's Day, Elisha Gray went to the same U.S. Patent Office. He filed his Caveat to announce that he would be filing for a patent within three months for "the art of transmitting vocal sounds or conversations telegraphically through an electric circuit." In other words, it was a telephone. |
