How Could A Person Become A Celebrity During The Time Of 1765?


(1) By successful criminality, e,g, Dick Turpin who supposedly escaped hanging by riding to York and obtaining an alibi there (the jury could not believe he could have gotten himself so soon after his misdeed). The fact that the ride was done (in 1739) by someone else has never been allowed by the Great British Public to besmirch his reputation
(2) By becoming a successful self-publicist, e.g. Ben Franklin
(3) By becoming outstandingly useful, e.g. Sam Johnson who in 1755 published the first decent dictionary, which gave everyone who could buy or otherwise access it a means to “correct” their spelling
(4) Through outrageous sex, e.g France’s transvestite diplomat-spy, the Chevalier d’Eon or a little later in the century, the Duchess of Devonshire who won Charles James Fox his parliamentary seat by offering to kiss anyone voting for him (no secret ballot to hide one’s choice!).
(5) Through entertainment, e.g. David Garrick, actor manager of Drury Lane’s Theatre Royal in the 1760s-70s, or Sam Richardson’s realization that women were an almost untapped market for sexy novel writing (his first success, Clarissa, coming out in 1748)
BUT ABOVE ALL:
(6) Sport. If a stallion can be a person, then “Whistlejacket” the most famous racehorse of the age in his 1762 portrait by Stubbs still holds the pride of place in London’s National Gallery that Paris gives to the Mona Lisa, Amsterdam to Rembrandt’s Night Watch and Madrid to Velasquez’s Las Meninas: and you cannot have greater celebrity than that!.

How Could You Use Benchmarking To Improve Your Business?


Think of a business you would like to run or manage. A competitor in your own market will not tell you the secrets of thier success but how could you use Benchmarking to improve the business you have chosen? You may focus on a specific part of that business (e.g. Sales, Service, etc.) if you choose.

Could Someone Give Me A Synopsis Of How The Ftse And Stock Exchange Works?


I’d be interested in buying and selling shares during my summer break in order to make some extra cash when i’m not working, perhaps start doing it to earn serious cash in the future. My very crude and basic view of how it works is that a buyer buys shares for a certain amount, waits for them to rise in value, and then sells them, cashing in on his efforts. It seems pretty simple from this and easy to do, but if it were everybody would be doing it.
Questions i have relating to this are: How does the buyer earn money, who pays him or her? And what is a portfolio?
Thanks, i tried reading about it online but found it a little complex. I figured talking to real people would help.

Gaming Addiction. Do You Think This Could Work?


Hey, guys!
So I have this ‘problem’ called video game addiction. I’m fine and not here to whine about stuff. Last two weeks I played 90 hours of TF2, so yeah. A full-time gamer, I am.
The thing is, I just got this idea that maybe I shouldn’t try to beat this addiction. I could use it instead. If you know anything about gaming theory, then you may agree that it could be used in real life situations. And that’s what I was thinking about. Using all the gaming mechanics to create a real life community. So the point is, you could play a game which would give you real life benefits with real-life activites.
This way people should not fight their addiction, but they could use it as a motivator.
For example:
You like playing RPGs. You come to our community or game or whatever. There you can create your character, which would be based on your real life avatar. So basically you are a lvl1 whatever guy. Let’s be honest, most of us are. From there you can get ‘quests’, choose your storyline stuffs, improve your character by doing different tasks, earn rewards, socialize with other ‘players’, participate in huge projects with others and so on. So we would make those tasks more interesting than they really are. So spending time on your own business wouldn’t be a work, but a kind of game with your friends. Let’s say you started the ‘Internet Marketer’ class. So you get grouped with 2 other people from that ‘guild’ and together you get small tasks, like ‘Find a good niche for your new site’ or something like that. They would be easy-to-do tasks, with instant rewards. Also you could compete with other groups and things like that.
Do you think it’s possible? Or is it a good idea? Any suggestions?
Also if you are interested, feel free to PM me. Any help or idea would be most welcomed. Also I could inform you guys if this thing becomes reality.
