Face Book Acquires Whats APP for $19 Billion (Deal of the year)

Mark Zuckerberg

This is the report posted by Mark Zuckerberg recently.

I’m excited to announce that we’ve agreed to acquire WhatsApp and that their entire team will be joining us at Facebook.

Our mission is to make the world more open and connected. We do this by building services that help people share any type of content with any group of people they want. WhatsApp will help us do this by continuing to develop a service that people around the world love to use every day.

WhatsApp is a simple, fast and reliable mobile messaging service that is used by over 450 million people on every major mobile platform. More than 1 million people sign up for WhatsApp every day and it is on its way to connecting one billion people. More and more people rely on WhatsApp to communicate with all of their contacts every day.

WhatsApp will continue to operate independently within Facebook. The product roadmap will remain unchanged and the team is going to stay in Mountain View. Over the next few years, we're going to work hard to help WhatsApp grow and connect the whole world. We also expect that WhatsApp will add to our efforts forInternet.org, our partnership to make basic internet services affordable for everyone.

WhatsApp will complement our existing chat and messaging services to provide new tools for our community. Facebook Messenger is widely used for chatting with your Facebook friends, and WhatsApp for communicating with all of your contacts and small groups of people. Since WhatsApp and Messenger serve such different and important uses, we will continue investing in both and making them each great products for everyone.

WhatsApp had every option in the world, so I’m thrilled that they chose to work with us. I’m looking forward to what Facebook and WhatsApp can do together, and to developing great new mobile services that give people even more options for connecting.

I've also known Jan for a long time, and I know that we both share the vision of making the world more open and connected. I'm particularly happy that Jan has agreed to join the Facebook board and partner with me to shape Facebook's future as well as WhatsApp's.

Jan and the WhatsApp team have done some amazing work to connect almost half a billion people. I can’t wait for them to join Facebook and help us connect the rest of the world.

It is learnable. But why is it that a whole lot of people don’t learn and apply how to create, multiply and manage money?

This is why a whole lot of educated people do not attain Financial Freedom, I mean become Wealthy and Prosperous. Why? Because the principles for Financial Success and Freedom are not taught in schools. Which is the reason why most university Professors are not wealthy, whereas even school drop-outs, that has learned, understands and applies the principles of wealth creation, creates wealth and become financially free.

COURSE OVERVIEW

What is an Information product? Information Products are materials, such as Audio and Video Programs or Tutorials, Training Programs, Books or Reports in print or e-book package, that furnishes or provides information on how to do, become or achieve something worthwhile.

Knowledge is a product of Information, and Knowledge, when correctly applied

Translates to Wisdom, and Wisdom when correctly deployed equals to Success, Peace of Mind and Financial Freedom – Anthony Chiugo Josephat-Josephat

No wonder, even the scriptures recorded that Wisdom is the PRINCIPAL thing everyone needs to succeed in life, business, career, family, marriage etc.

3.      Practical Keys To Unlock Your Financial Freedom (How to let money work for you instead of you working for money: Truly, creativity has been proven, as the only remedy to checkmate Financial Insecurity, Unemployment and Job Insecurity, which is prevalence in the world today. So whether you are employed or not, you can create streams of income by the side and let you money work for you, because there is nothing called job security, with downsizing and outsourcing being the thing in vogue in the business world. You need to be prepared and create a back up or an exit route. My mentor Jim Rohn, taught me not to depend on one stream of income.

-Discover why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

-Understanding the difference between assets and liabilities.

- Master how Cashflow determines whether you are rich or poor.

-Understand how to let your money work for you.

-Understand the difference between Financial Security and Job Security.

The No.1 desire of every rational and responsible individual is to Prosper and become Financially Independent and Successful. The methodology to achieve this Financial Freedom and Prosperity, has been the subject of discussion in books, Audio, Video Tutorials, Magazines, Seminars, and Conferences produced worldwide.

The Oxford Advanced Learner’s dictionary defines the word PROSPER as; To be successful and Rich, while the word PROSPEROUS is defined as; to be SUCCESSFUL and WEALTHY,”

 It’s important to note that Riches has to do with the value of cash and assets that you have as an employee or a business owner or investor; while Wealth is a function of how long your cash and assets can sustain your standard of living after you have stopped working. So HOW WEALTHY ARE YOU? 1 day? 1 week? 1 month? 1 year? 10 years? 50 years? 100 years? etc.

Regardless of the level where you are today, It would interest you to note that WEALTH AND FINANCIALFREEDOM can be created, generated or amassed gradually or exponentially through POSITIVE AND CREATIVE THINKING/IDES, CREATING A PRODUCT OR SERVICE, MARKETING AND MANAGING YOUR IDEAS, PRODUCTS OR SERVICE.

BUSINESS SUCCESS SECRETS -by- Chiugo Anthony JOSEPHAT-NWOKOLO

DESIGN YOUR PRODUCTS / SERVICES.

Jacob’s creative faculty was what distinguished his livestock from that of his master Laban. To design and develop your products or services, you must engage and       employ your creative imagination which is considered as the workshop of the mind. Literally speaking imagination is the place where the designs and plans on how to produce, achieve or accomplish dreams are conceived, designed and planned.

There is no way one can design anything without employing the power of imagination.  Truly, mankind has the power and the capability to create anything he can conceive in his mind and believe he can achieve.

Types of imagination

There are two faculties of imagination; they are innovative and creative imagination. These are the two types of imagination which one can utilize to design and create any product or service that would benefit humanity.

Innovative imagination: This involves innovating old or existing products, ideas, concepts, systems etc., into new combinations.

This faculty creates nothing; rather it spices, blends, packages and innovates already existing products or services in a new way.Divine idea and innovation  was employed by Jacob to innovate and breed different species of live stocks for himself from that of Laban  - Gen 30: 31- 40

Creative imagination: This involves creating something which no one has ever created or produced before, thereby meeting a need or solving a problem which no one has been able to fix. Through this faculty, inspirations and hunches are communicated to man by the Almighty God.

This creative faculty of the mind works and perform better when the conscious mind of man is stimulated through the emotions of burning desire, love, faith or fear etc.

It has been proven that through the faculty of the creative imagination the Geniuses, the Inventors and the great Musicians, Artists, Writers Poets, Manufacturers, Business owners, Managers, Ministers, and Entertainers became leaders in their industries, simply because they have discovered and developed the faculty of their creative imagination using their mind’s eyes to see the future beyond their physical eyes.

In view of the foregoing principles, it would interest you to note that before anyone could transform the intangible impulse or call it spiritual forces of desire and thought into the tangible (physical reality) or accomplishment, it demands for the use of a design (a plan or plans).  And the plan(s} must be designed or created through the help of the innovative or creative imagination.

The Secret of Out-standing Performance

The secret of attaining a leading, successful and relevance position in your field or industry, are thus; 

First; always offer the best quality and quantity services/products, with a positive mental attitude and pleasing personality.

The second key to greatness is; always design your products/services to be irresistible and relevant; to meet needs, solve problems, add value and enrich lives.

Thirdly, always design, package and present your product in an extra -ordinary way.

The fourth key is always go the extra mile; always offer an extra for what you are paid for.

May I conclude this subject by reminding you that whether you are an employer or an employee, you have a product to offer as services or product(s).  Therefore, I implore you to always package and brand your product to be the best amongst the rest. You are a brand, even if you are a person or a product; you ought to brand yourself, profession, services or products as a rare and unique one.

MALAYSIAN AIRLINE MISSING PLANE SIGHTED TOWARDS ANDAMAN ISLAND

1 OF 4. Senior Lieutenant and flight captain Vu Duc Long (R) looks at a map of a search area on iPad while flying a Vietnam Air Force AN-26 aircraft, during a mission to find the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, off Con Dao island, March 14, 2014.

(Reuters) - Military radar-tracking evidence suggests a Malaysia Airlines jetliner missing for nearly a week was deliberately flown across the Malay peninsula towards the Andaman Islands, sources familiar with the investigation told Reuters on Friday.

Two sources said an unidentified aircraft that investigators believe was Flight MH370 was following a route between navigational waypoints - indicating it was being flown by someone with aviation training - when it was last plotted on military radar off the country's northwest coast.

The last plot on the military radar's tracking suggested the plane was flying toward India's Andaman Islands, a chain of isles between the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal, they said.

Waypoints are geographic locations, worked out by calculating longitude and latitude, that help pilots navigate along established air corridors.

A third source familiar with the investigation said inquiries were focusing increasingly on the theory that someone who knew how to fly a plane deliberately diverted the flight, with 239 people on board, hundreds of miles off its intended course from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

"What we can say is we are looking at sabotage, with hijack still on the cards," said that source, a senior Malaysian police official.

All three sources declined to be identified because they were not authorised to speak to the media and due to the sensitivity of the investigation.

Officials at Malaysia's Ministry of Transport, the official point of contact for information on the investigation, did not return calls seeking comment.

Malaysian police have previously said they were investigating whether any passengers or crew had personal or psychological problems that might shed light on the mystery, along with the possibility of a hijacking, sabotage or mechanical failure.

The comments by the three sources are the first clear indication that foul play is the main focus of official suspicions in the Boeing 777's disappearance.

As a result of the new evidence, the sources said, multinational search efforts were being stepped up in the Andaman Sea and also the Indian Ocean.

LAST SIGHTING

In one of the most baffling mysteries in modern aviation, no trace of the plane nor any sign of wreckage has been found despite a search by the navies and military aircraft of more than a dozen countries.

The last sighting of the aircraft on civilian radar screens came shortly before 1:30 a.m. Malaysian time last Saturday (1730 GMT Friday), less than an hour after it took off from Kuala Lumpur, as the plane flew northeast across the mouth of the Gulf of Thailand. That put the plane on Malaysia's east coast.

Malaysia's air force chief said on Wednesday an aircraft that could have been the missing plane was plotted on military radar at 2:15 a.m., 200 miles (320 km) northwest of Penang Island off Malaysia's west coast.

This position marks the limit of Malaysia's military radar in that part of the country, a fourth source familiar with the investigation told Reuters.

When asked about the range of military radar at a news conference on Thursday, Malaysian Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said it was "a sensitive issue" that he was not going to reveal.

"Even if it doesn't extend beyond that, we can get the cooperation of the neighbouring countries," he said.

The fact that the aircraft - if it was MH370 - had lost contact with air traffic control and was invisible to civilian radar suggested someone aboard had turned its communication systems off, the first two sources said.

They also gave new details on the direction in which the unidentified aircraft was heading - following aviation corridors identified on maps used by pilots as N571 and P628. These routes are taken by commercial planes flying from Southeast Asia to the Middle East or Europe and can be found in public documents issued by regional aviation authorities.

In a far more detailed description of the military radar plotting than has been publicly revealed, the first two sources said the last confirmed position of MH370 was at 35,000 feet about 90 miles (144 km) off the east coast of Malaysia, heading towards Vietnam, near a navigational waypoint called "Igari". The time was 1:21 a.m.

The military track suggests it then turned sharply westwards, heading towards a waypoint called "Vampi", northeast of Indonesia's Aceh province and a navigational point used for planes following route N571 to the Middle East.

From there, the plot indicates the plane flew towards a waypoint called "Gival", south of the Thai island of Phuket, and was last plotted heading northwest towards another waypoint called "Igrex", on route P628 that would take it over the Andaman Islands and which carriers use to fly towards Europe.

The time was then 2:15 a.m. That's the same time given by the air force chief on Wednesday, who gave no information on that plane's possible direction.

The sources said Malaysia was requesting raw radar data from neighbours Thailand, Indonesia and India, which has a naval base in the Andaman Islands.

Meet one of the CEO who's in 2013 alone was $12.3 million

Sergio Ermotti
UBS, CEO.,

Swiss Bank, UBS hiked chief executive Sergio Ermotti's pay by a fifth last year to 10.73 millionSwiss francs ($12.30 million), according to the Swiss bank's annual report published on Friday.

But UBS's highest paid executive was investment banking chief Andrea Orcel, who earned 11.43 million francs in 2013. Chairman Axel Weberwas paid nearly 6.1 million francs.

Pay is a closely watched topic in Switzerland, where voters last year backed some of the world's strictest controls on executive remuneration, forcing public companies to give shareholders a binding vote on compensation.

UBS is looked at with particular scrutiny because taxpayers funded a 6 billion franc bailout of the bank in 2008.

The government sold its stake in UBS at a profit the following year, and the bank bought back a fund of once-toxic assets from the Swiss National Bank in 2013, but bankers' bonuses nevertheless remain a hot-button issue for shareholders.

Last month, CEO Ermotti said compensation at the bank was now "normalised" from 2012, when awards were cut after UBS had to pay out $1.5 billion to settle interest rate allegations.

But UBS drew criticism from shareholders earlier this year, when it said it had increased its bonus pool by 28 percent to 3.2 billion francs from 2012.

UBS had little new to say about current investigations, including one alleging manipulation in the $5 trillion-a-day foreign exchange market, but mentioned that its review into its forex business also included its precious metals business.

The Swiss bank approached U.S.authorities last year in the hope of gaining antitrust immunity if charged with wrongdoing, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters last month.

Facebook CEO Zuckerberg phoned Obama to complain about spying

Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg blasted the U.S. government's electronic surveillance practices on Thursday, saying he'd personally called President Obama to voice his displeasure, according to reports by CNBC.

"When our engineers work tirelessly to improve security, we imagine we're protecting you against criminals, not our own government," Zuckerberg said in a post on his personal Facebook page.

"I've called President Obama to express my frustration over the damage the government is creating for all of our future. Unfortunately, it seems like it will take a very long time for true full reform," the 29-year-old Zuckerberg continued.

The phone call and Zuckerberg's 300-word missive on Thursday come amid a series of revelations about controversial government surveillance practices that were leaked by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.

Mark Zuckerberg, chief executive officer and founder of Facebook, at its headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif.

"The president spoke last night with Mark Zuckerberg about recent reports in the press about alleged activities by the U.S. intelligence community," a White House official said.

The official declined further comment and referred to the National Security Agency's statement released earlier on Thursday saying recent media reports that allege the NSA has infected million of computers around the world malware and that the NSA is impersonating U.S. social media or other websites are inaccurate.

NSA whistleblower Snowden speaks

Fugitive NSA contractor Edward Snowden spoke today to the South by Southwest conference in Texas. He spoke remotely from Russia.

Facebook, which operates the world's No. 1 Internet social network with 1.2 billion users, declined to comment beyond Zuckerberg's post.

Secret documents published on news website The Intercept on Wednesday showed that the NSA impersonated Facebook web pages in order to gather information from targets. When those people thought they were logging into Facebook, they were actually communicating with the NSA. The agency then used malicious code on the fake page to break into the targets' computers and remove data from them.

Last year, Facebook moved to encrypt all its pages, making such impersonation more difficult.

Previous media reports based on leaked Snowden documents detail how the government may have tapped into communications cables that link data centers owned by Google Inc and Yahoo Inc, intercepting user data without the companies' knowledge or cooperation.

"The US government should be the champion for the internet, not a threat. They need to be much more transparent about what they're doing, or otherwise people will believe the worst," Zuckerberg said in his post.

Five Things I Learned About Innovation from Sir Richard Branson by Andi Mann

Andi Mann is vice president of Strategic Solutions at CA Technologies, he share the insights shared by Sir Branson, the Virgin Atlantic Tycoon.

Sir Richard Branson

I still cannot believe I had the opportunity to interview Sir Richard Branson one-on-one for our Luminaries video series – in which we interview prominent business, technology and government leaders.

If you have been following along, you know I was hugely excited just to be able to see Sir Richard Branson on stage at the CA World plenary keynote. I wrote about why Branson was a perfect fit for CA World, but now after the event it is hard to describe how energizing his presence, his stories and his ideas were.

However, about half an hour later – when the crowds had long since filed out – Richard (as he prefers to be called) came back out for an ‘intimate’ fireside chat with me on a quiet, empty stage (<– click to see the full video).

Surrounded by five thousand vacant chairs, I saw a completely different Richard Branson. He was less rambunctious and more candid, ultimately both more personal and more engaging. No longer performing for the crowd, he was quietly compelling in our short one-on-one chat.

In just 10 minutes (real time – we did it LIVE!) we covered a lot of ground, but I thought I would distil down just five key ideas about innovation that resonated with me.

1. Bring your own innovation
It is up to all of us to be the innovation we want to see in our businesses. Leaders must establish innovation as a brand-level goal, and everyone must be ready to find and act on their own ideas. Innovation is up to individuals, like you and me.

2. Encourage innovation by tolerating failure
It is important for innovative leaders to praise the successes of their people; but it is also important to avoid damning their failures. If you let people make mistakes, sometimes they will fall flat on their face, but sometimes they will do great things.

3. You have to be better
If you provide customers a fundamentally better product, you can battle giants and win. That means not just about starting out better, but staying better. Success requires continuous innovation, so you can find new opportunities to stay one step ahead of the pack.

4. The biggest innovations may be incidental
A CEO or CIO can use social media to share pics of their lunch or to help control a global business. Innovation itself is not always the goal, but it is often a means to other ends.

5. Find great people and delegate
Innovation requires big picture thinking. Innovators must be brave enough to free themselves from the mundane and routine so they can think big and focus on innovation. At every level, find great people to help you, to free you up for bigger, better things.

There was so much content in such a short interview, it was hard to pick just five key takeaways. You really need to watch it for yourself. I hear new things and have new ideas every time I watch it. Let me know what your key takeaways are – I would love to compare notes
