Image via Wikipedia

I found this article from Procurement Insights to be extremely interesting, as for those experienced in the e-procurement/reverse auction/e-marketplace spaces, the piece details the chronology of "who begat who" and whatever happened to this company or that company - most of whom rose and fell (or were acquired) - from the dot-com era. Read the complete article below and learn (or recall) much of the family tree of e-commerce over the past decade:

Monkeys are able to recognize faces?

Babies are able to recognize their’s mother’s faces when they are only a few months old.But can animals recognize faces?Research has shown that monkeys have this ability to some-extent as well.Scientists have discovered that Capuchin monkeys can recognize familiar individuals in photographs.For the study,the capuchins viewed photographs of four different faces.One of the four picture was of a capuchin from their own group,and the study showed that capuchin’s were able to recognize photographs of monkeys living in their social group.This proved that they could distuingish familiar individuals from outsiders.

This research is important because it highlighted the ability of monkeys not only to compare and recognize facial images,but to connect faces with individuals they know.According to researchers ,human beings and monkeys use the same mechanisms to recognize faces only ours are far more and advanced.

How will you meet your demise? Are you afraid of one of life’s inescapable benefits? What do you teach your children about the passing of a loved one? Do you think it is normal to die? Does anyone escape this earthly prison without experiencing the process of returning all earthly elements which were borrowed on a temporary basis back to the earth from which these elements came.

These questions are only a sample of what you might want to think about when discussing something that belongs to us all—-DEATH. Now, think carefully, is that a bad word or a good word? It is neither good nor bad, it is a fact of life.

Every day since the day we were born, we have been at risk of dying. Each and every second, day, week, month, year and decade might be our last. Hey, folks, this is a natural event and one that honestly belongs to a part of our earthly lives. It is my guess that if I live another one-hundred years, I will still hate to leave the comforts and challenges of this life. But, isn’t it also true that a baby erupts from a comfortable, warm cocoon into an unknown? When a young person leaves a familiar home or school for another, isn’t that traumatic? We are always leaving someplace and some age and moving to a new place or new age. Life and death are part of this same process.
