Always Be in Motion: Moving

The Ultimate Hire by Ken Lubin, ZRG Partners

An object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. - Einstein 

Right now, it is easier than ever to work at quarter or half speed, due to the unbalanced force that we are facing, CoronaVirus. Prior to the last couple of weeks we were going full steam ahead and then hit the brick wall, it is a wall can be overcome. The brick wall, Coronavirus, can do one of two things; completely stop us in our tracks or be circumvented by taking a different direction and capitalize.

Many are saying, “I just don’t know what to do.” We all have computers, keyboards and brains. We can create, innovate and think differently, and don’t stop. Movement and momentum will get us out of this.

If you have fear trying something new or making a mistake and failing, there is no better time than now to do it.  No one is judging or criticizing; they are just trying to survive.  If they do judge or criticize, it just means they are scared.

Take a different path, create momentum, and keep moving. You might be moving forward, backwards, or to the side, but you are moving. 

Remember the other law of physics: An object at rest stays at rest and you don’t want that to be you.

Cannabis Equipment Leasing

Forum Financial Services has been involved in the Cannabis/CBD marketplace for over a year, launching a specific website geared for this industry: www.cannabisequipmentlease.com. 

Tim O'Connor, Vice President, says, "Over the past year we have written and closed over a dozen leases. Most have been in the medical marijuana space and now we are expanding into the hemp/CBD industry."

"Most of our transactions were direct. We have two approved brokers that we have completed transactions with and are looking to possibly add one or two more. We are funding our own transactions, which makes us unique in the space. Well capitalized companies with solid management are what we have focused on, mostly "corporation only." Although, we have done a couple start-ups based on solid collateral and decent opening balance sheets.”

"As is the case with Forum Leasing, we do not offer ANY type of lease or financing for equipment located in California. We do offer leasing and are open for business for companies that have equipment installed/located in all the other 49 states."

"I do know a bit about canna finance in the US and have actually completed a deal or two (it’s mainly all convertible debt).  I ran an event in NYC for over 200 investors at Chelsea Piers and I helped organize, promote and sell out the first Weed Stock conference in Colorado.  I have been an investor in the industry since 2013.

"There are no miracle answers for leases (in most states, ownership of canna assets without being licensed as a canna business would prohibit leasing).  Most deals are done as loans with a conversion provision and pretty harsh default penalty.

"One thing lenders have to keep in mind is that bankruptcy (other than just a state bankruptcy) isn’t available to canna debtors.  Federal judges won’t hear the cases and will dismiss them if they get filed.  In fact most disputes that wind up filed in federal court get dismissed and refiled in state court."

Coast Guard Provides Guidance for Maritime Industry
From my son Dashiell, Stuck in Singapore

Advice for the maritime industry, seafarers and dock workers
There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus infection. The best way to protect your­self from infection is to avoid being exposed to this virus. In this vein, the International Maritime Health Association issued the following advice specifically for the maritime industry, seafarers and dock workers:

• Do not restrict embarkation/disembarkation of seafarers in non-affected ports.
• Do not restrict necessary ship visits by port agents, chaplains, service personnel and others.
• Do not visit food markets in China and avoid provision of fish and poultry in China.
• Do not consume raw eggs, milk, meat
• Observe strict food hygiene to avoid cross contamination.
• Ensure facial protection is provided for all crew (5 pieces /per person).
• Provide influenza vaccination, alcohol-based hand sanitizer and facial protection for ship inspec­tors and other crew who travel to China.
• If a crew member on board falls sick and has been travelling to affected areas 2-12 days before embarkation, the person must stay in his/ her cabin.
• If a crew member is sick on board a ship, fill out the maritime declaration of health and notify the relevant port authority and consult a healthcare provider in the next port.

In addition to the foregoing, WHO also re­leased the following list of everyday actions from the United Nations mariners should take that can help prevent the spread of the virus:

• Frequently wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a flexed elbow or tissue when sneezing or coughing.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with anyone who has a fever or cough.
• Seek early medical help if you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, and share your travel history with healthcare providers.
• Avoid direct, unprotected contact with live animals and surfaces in contact with animals when visiting live markets in affected areas.
• Avoid eating raw or undercooked animal products and exercise care when handling raw meat, milk or eggs to avoid cross-contamination.

CDC Recommendations
While the immediate risk of this new virus to the American public is believed to be low at this time, everyone can do their part to help respond to this emerging public health threat:

• It's currently flu and respiratory disease season and CDC recommends getting a flu vac­cine, taking everyday preventive actions to help stop the spread of germs, and taking flu antivirals if prescribed.
• If you are a healthcare provider, be on the lookout for people who recently traveled from China and have fever and respiratory symptoms.
• If you are a healthcare provider caring for a coronavirus patient or a public health responder, please take care of yourself and follow recom­mended infection control procedures.
• For people who have had close contact with someone infected with 2019-nCoV who develop symptoms, contact your healthcare provider, and tell them about your symptoms and your exposure to a coronavirus patient.

Other resources
The coronavirus virus outbreak is an emerg­ing, rapidly evolving situation. The WHO (www. who.int/health-topics/coronavirus and CDC (www.go.usa.gov/wdDsW) will provide updated information, as well as updated guidance, as it be­comes available.

New Book by Richard Contino, Esq.
Equipment Leasing and Financing:  A Product Sales
                      and Business Profit Center Strategy

“This book explains how companies that sell equipment and other products can increase product sales and add an additional profit center by establishing their own innovative leasing and financing operation.

“Industry data shows that the need for equipment and other product financing has evolved over the past few decades to where now nine out of ten U.S. companies use leasing or other forms of third party financing to acquire the equipment or other products they need. For market-aggressive companies offering products for sale, having an available in-house customer product leasing and financing program as a product marketing strategy can dramatically increase their ability to close product sales.

“In the past, establishing an in-house financing activity was difficult and expensive, requiring unique and substantial additional business operational and financing components in addition to an extensive learning curve. This is no longer the case. In recent years, there have been wide-spread market advances surrounding the financing of equipment and other products that enable forward-thinking companies to cost-effectively establish their own in-house product financing activity, using readily available, state-of the-art financing software programs, and third-party back-office services to manage any part of the financing process.

“This book will provide a product vendor with the turnkey know how it needs to assess the viability of establishing an in-house equipment financing operation, as well as the various considerations needed to set up and run its own cost-effective and profitable product financing activity.”

Hi! My name is Potter and I am a very busy boy! I have lots of energy and need lots of entertainment! Most days I spend with my canine siblings, playing and running in the backyard. When I get tired of playing, I like to find something fun to chase, like birds, squirrels or leaves blowing in the breeze! Some days I go to daycare to play with other dogs and to be comfortable with being away from my foster family because I have been with my foster family for a while. Everyone says that I am a smart boy and I am very loving! You'll never be lonely again if you adopt me! I am house trained, walk nicely on a leash and am eager to please! After plenty of exercise, I will sleep all night in my crate or, even better, I'll sleep with you! In addition to your love, time and attention, I need a fenced backyard so that I have a place to run and play in addition to other activities. Also, I really love chasing other furry creatures, so I'm not a good candidate for a house with cats or small critters.

"When this is over, may we never again take for granted

A handshake with a stranger

Full shelves at the store

Conversations with neighbors

A crowded theater

Friday night out

The taste of communion

A routine checkup

The school rush each morning

Coffee with a friend

The stadium roaring

Each deep breath

A boring Tuesday

Life itself.

When this ends

may we find

that we have become

more like the people

we wanted to be

we were called to be

we hoped to be

and may we stay

that way — better

for each other

because of the worst."

This Day in History

      1492 - King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella sign decree expelling Jews from Spain. Cristo Colombo’s navigator was Jewish, but this was not told to the royalty. Some believe Christopher Columbus’ name was Fernandes Zarco, born in Madeira, and he was Jewish, but changed his name as Jews were expelled by Queen Isabella. History says it was Columbus’ navigator who first saw the new land they thought was India (thus the natives were called Indians).  They changed the date from the 13th to the 12th, thinking it would be unlucky to record the event on that number. In reality, neither actually stepped on either the South or North America continents in their five trips to the area.
http://lege.net/blog.lege.net/financialoutrage.org.uk/r
eformation.org/portuguese-columbus.html 
    1769 - Following the example of the Philadelphia merchants, Baltimore merchants join the non-importation movement by banning the purchase of English goods until the repeal of the Townshend Acts.
    1775 - King George III endorses the New England Restraining Act which forbids the New England colonies from trading with any other countries except England after 1 July, and bans them from fishing in the North Atlantic after 20 July. On 13 April, the provisions of the act will also be applied to Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia when Parliament hears that these colonies have ratified the Continental Association.
    1820 - A group of New England missionaries arrived on the Hawaiian Islands and were greeted by King Kamehameha II.
    1823 - A great Northeast storm with hurricane force winds raged from Pennsylvania to Maine. The storm was most severe over New Jersey with high tides, uprooted trees, and heavy snow inland.
    1842 - Dr. Crawford W.

The acquisition, brokered in absolute secrecy by Secretary of State William Seward, saw the U.S. pay Alaska's owner, Russia, $7.2 million, or roughly two cents per acre of land.

Originally a jazz singer, he was sidetracked by the famous arranger Mitch Miller.  As rock and roll changed the music for many of these early 1950’s singers, Laine remained popular well into the 1960s.

    1945 - WILL, WALTER J., Medal of Honor
Rank and organization: First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, Company K 18th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division. Place and date: Near Eisern, Germany, 30 March 1945. Entered service at: West Winfield, N.Y. Birth: Pittsburgh, Pa. G.O. No.: 88, 17 October 1945. Citation: He displayed conspicuous gallantry during an attack on powerful enemy positions. He courageously exposed himself to withering hostile fire to rescue 2 wounded men and then, although painfully wounded himself, made a third trip to carry another soldier to safety from an open area. Ignoring the profuse bleeding of his wound, he gallantly led men of his platoon forward until they were pinned down by murderous flanking fire from 2 enemy machineguns. He fearlessly crawled alone to within 30 feet of the first enemy position, killed the crew of 4 and silenced the gun with accurate grenade fire. He continued to crawl through intense enemy fire to within 20 feet of the second position where he leaped to his feet, made a lone, ferocious charge and captured the gun and its 9-man crew. Observing another platoon pinned down by 2 more German machineguns, he led a squad on a flanking approach and, rising to his knees in the face of direct fire, coolly and deliberately lobbed 3 grenades at the Germans, silencing 1 gun and killing its crew. With tenacious aggressiveness, he ran toward the other gun and knocked it out with grenade fire. He then returned to his platoon and led it in a fierce, inspired charge, forcing the enemy to fall back in confusion. 1st Lt. Will was mortally wounded in this last action, but his heroic leadership, indomitable courage, and unflinching devotion to duty live on as a perpetual inspiration to all those who witnessed his deeds.
    1950 - Dr. John Northup Shive of the Bell Telephone Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey, announced he had developed a phototransistor, operated by light rather than electric current. It was not until 1951 that transistors were produced commercially, the first for Western Electric, used in long distance dialing equipment. The microprocessor did not come along until the late 1970s, developed by Intel, Santa Clara, California.  Read a wonderfully enlightening book by Jon Gertner, “The Idea Factory,” about the innovative teams at Bell Labs during the explosive growth of AT&T, first to expand telephone service across the US, then globally.  Among the inventions of the Idea Factory:  computers and mobile phones.

    1967 - BOBO, JOHN P., Medal of Honor
Rank and organization: Second Lieutenant, U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, 3d Battalion, 9th Marines, 3d Marine Division (Rein), FMF. Place and date: Quang Tri Province, Republic of Vietnam, 30 March 1967. Entered service at: Buffalo, N.Y. Born: 14 February 1943, Niagara Falls, N.Y. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Company 1 was establishing night ambush sites when the command group was attacked by a reinforced North Vietnamese company supported by heavy automatic weapons and mortar fire. 2d Lt. Bobo immediately organized a hasty defense and moved from position to position encouraging the outnumbered marines despite the murderous enemy fire. Recovering a rocket launcher from among the friendly casualties, he organized a new launcher team and directed its fire into the enemy machine gun positions. When an exploding enemy mortar round severed 2d Lt. Bobo's right leg below the knee, he refused to be evacuated and insisted upon being placed in a firing position to cover the movement of the command group to a better location. With a web belt around his leg serving as a tourniquet and with his leg jammed into the dirt to curtain the bleeding, he remained in this position and delivered devastating fire into the ranks of the enemy attempting to overrun the marines. 2d Lt. Bobo was mortally wounded while firing his weapon into the main point of the enemy attack but his valiant spirit inspired his men to heroic efforts, and his tenacious stand enabled the command group to gain a protective position where it repulsed the enemy onslaught. 2d Lt. Bobo's superb leadership, dauntless courage, and bold initiative reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the U.S. Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country.

By 1974, the union is threatened not only by growers but by more powerful unions. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters will muscle its way into the fields and sign sweetheart contracts with growers who haven't signed with United Farm Workers. The combined wealth and political power of the Teamsters and the growers nearly destroys the UFW.

    1977 - A new era began in San Francisco football as Edward J. DeBartolo, Jr. bought the 49ers from the original owners. The 49ers never reached the NFL championship game while the founding Morabito family owned them, but they won five Super Bowls during the first 18 years of DeBartolo’s tenure. Forced to turn the team over to his sister due to a business dealing with the former Governor of Louisiana, the 49ers declined materially until they hired Jim Harbaugh as coach in 2010. They seem to have gone back to their post-Eddie stupidity as they fired Harbaugh after the 2014 and have suffered a number of early retirements of key players and let all-time Niners rushing leader Frank Gore leave for free agency. When he returns for retirement of jerseys, the fans go crazy over his attendance. I can personally attest that “Eddie! Eddie!” is the loudest yell of the events.  After several unsuccessful attempts, DeBartolo was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2016 with a memorable induction speech that is available on YouTube.  Watch it!

The Eagles' original recording of the song features Henley singing the lead vocals and concludes with an extended section of electric guitar interplay between Felder and Joe Walsh.  The song is considered the most famous recording by the band and, in 1998, its long guitar coda was voted the best guitar solo of all time by readers of “Guitarist.” The Eagles won the 1977 Grammy Award for Record of the Year for "Hotel California" at the 20th Grammy Awards in 1978.  Rolling Stone magazine ranked it number 49 on its list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time."  It was named one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.  At the induction of the Eagles into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, all seven former and present members of the band reunited to perform "Hotel California."   In 2009, the song was further certified Platinum (Digital Sales Award) by the RIAA for sales of one million digital downloads, and has since sold over 3 million downloads.

Haig continued to say, “Constitutionally, gentlemen, you have the president, the vice-president and the secretary of state in that order." What makes this so funny and memorable was his arrogance, plus the fact that he was incorrect. According to the New York Desk Reference, for those who want to get on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire," the line of Presidential succession is: 1.Vice-President, 2. Speaker of the House, 3. President Pro Tempore of the Senate, 4. Secretary of State, 5. Secretary of the Treasury. The point is that the Secretary of State is fourth in line, not second. He surely was not in charge.

    2006 - As a result of the recently released book detailing Barry Bonds allegedly using performance-enhancing drugs, Bud Selig appoints George Mitchell to head an investigation into the use of steroids in baseball. The former Senate Majority Leader will have the authority to expand the probe, which will be made public, into events prior to Fall of 2002, when such substances were banned by major league baseball.  His 2007 “Mitchell Report” documented pervasive use of performance enhancing drugs, HGH, steroids, and other illegal substances, thereby providing some validity to similar charges leveled by Jose Canseco. The Report led to a Congressional investigation wherein Mark McGwire, Sosa, Roger Clemens, Curt Schilling, and Rafeal Palmeiro appeared, the latter denying vehemently that he never used, only to be found to have done so.  Sosa claimed to not understand English and Clemens has been embroiled in a civil suit by his former trainer that alleged he personally injected Clemens during his time with the Yankees.  Somehow Barry Bonds escaped the subpoena.
