Summary

A study in conflict between a powerful industry and a struggling nation: “This fine monograph . . . addresses an important issue in Mexican history.” —The Americas 
 
Mexico was second only to the United States as the world’s largest oil producer in the years following the Mexican Revolution. As the revolutionary government became institutionalized, it sought to assure its control of Mexico’s oil resources through the Constitution of 1917, which returned subsoil rights to the nation. This comprehensive study explores the resulting struggle between oil producers, many of which were U.S. companies, and the Mexican government.  
 
Linda Hall goes beyond the diplomacy to look at the direct impact of a powerful, highly profitable foreign-controlled industry on a government and a nation trying to recover from a major civil war. She draws on extensive research in Mexican archives, including both government sources and the private papers of Presidents Alvaro Obregón and Plutarco Elías Calles, as well as U.S. government and private sources. In the wake of the North American Free Trade Agreement’s expansion of United States business ties to Mexico, this study of a crucial moment in U.S.-Mexican business relations will be of interest to a wide audience in business, diplomatic, and political history.

    Banner advertising has come a long way since its humble beginnings centuries ago. Yeah, that's right. Centuries flip through any old newspaper or publication from the American Colonial era, and you'll find rectangular banner ads pitching everything from beer to stockings, complete with the main image carefully chosen brand elements. Amado or a unique selling proposition.  
    And even a call to action. Of course, we're not here to discuss old print banner ads for stylish powdered wigs or state of the art wooden dentures. Although it is useful to remember how long the ancestors of today's digital banner ads have been around in this guide, we're going to be discussing modern digital banner ads in all their glory. So for starters, what are they?  
    Basically, banner advertisements are actionable, clickable tappable images that invite web visitors to buy, learn about, or receive something in exchange for a click through. These ads can appear anywhere and are typically seen within and around the content of various websites, such as the header area on a forum page, the sidebar of a blog, or a news site, or even squeezed in among the paragraphs of a news article.  
    These banner ads come in all shapes and sizes. Typically variations of the trusty old rectangle and will either be static or animated. In more recent years, some businesses have been leveraging rich media banner ads that do all sorts of wacky stuff like send a car, zooming across your screen in front of the article you were reading, and these ads aren't going anywhere soon. Banner ads still make up around 34% of all online ad spending.  
    Second, only to search engine marketing. So since they've been around for hundreds of years and businesses are spending a ton on them every year, clearly they work. The question is should you be using them in your business? That's what we'll be looking at in the next video.

    On the surface, it looked like Dom Farnan had it all. She was a successful business owner with a loving husband and a beautiful son, but her life was in shambles and her heart was hard. As a high-functioning depressive, she had been emotionally closed off for most of her life. That toxicity that she ignored and pushed down was rotting her from the inside. When the COVID - 19 pandemic threatened to take everything that she had worked for away, she finally hit rock bottom. That’s when she decided to make a change and take back control of her life.  As much as she tried to focus on her business and professional life, it was with the help of her coach that she learned meaningful and lasting change had to begin by confronting what she had ignored for most of her life: what was happening on the inside. It was all connected, and by stepping out of her comfort zone, and making a conscious effort to change her thoughts, she was able to change her life. That new outlook created a monumental shift that reverberated through everything she did. It made her a better boss, leader, wife, and mother. Most importantly, it brought her a sense of peace and calm that had eluded her for most of her life.  2020 wasn’t the year that Dom Farnan wanted, but it was the year that she needed. In Now Here, she describes the transformational and healing journey that drastically changed how she viewed and showed up in the world. It contains a collection of lessons and fundamental truths about life, work, love, relationships, and spirituality that can apply to anyone stuck in a rut and in need of a change.
