$100 - Most counterfeited money denomination in the world.
Keeps the world moving.
Ten Thousand Dollars
$10,000 - Enough for a great vacation or to buy a used car.
Approximately one year of work for the average human on earth.
One Million Dollars
$1,000,000 - Not as big of a pile as you thought, huh?
Still this is 92 years of work for the average human on earth.
One Hundred Million Dollars
$100,000,000 - Plenty to go around for everyone.
Fits nicely on an ISO / Military standard sized pallet.
$100 Million Dollars = 1 year of work for 3500 average Americans
It takes 3500 Americans 1 year of work to make $100 Million dollars. The 155 million Americans who worked with earnings in 2005 on average made $28,567 / year.
In front of the 3500 people is the $100 Million pallet that they all have to work for 1 year to earn.
Look carefully to see a stack of $1 Million and the 35
average Americans required to earn that $1 Million in 1 year.

USA's Deaths & War Costs
Not sure what was meant when Obama said: "Mission Accomplished". This is not it.
With more then 5x the size of military power of all world's countries combined,
USA has no problem showing its military power.
The trucks show the Iraq & Afghanistan war budget in fiscal year 2012.
The total bill of Iraq war is estimated around $4 Trillion USD ($4 million
millions dollars).
US Government has authorized 1.38 Trillion USD through 2012 for War Budget for Iraq & Afghanistan.
The real cost of war is much higher, with ~2.6
Trillion estimated additional expenses, including health care for
wounded, etc. That is illustrated by the 2x $1.3 Trillion dollars
towers.
There are a also 14342 wounded soldiers, but the wheel-chairs are not shown.

"The problem in defense is how far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower (WWII General & President of USA)
Note: The real cost of war is much higher than shown
above, as this is only US, UK & UN nation expenses, and does not
reflect the total death toll released by WikiLeaks at 109,032 deaths in
Iraq alone (most Iraqi, Afghan civilian, insurgent or Iraqi military),
the cost of destruction, emotional toll, wounded people, etc...

Just encase you were not able to make it out to the Small
Business Week, we wanted to share some information from the Social Media
presentation by the Valley’s own Marcia Johnson. Marcia is co-Owner
of Apex Power & Automation and co-Founder
of Peace in OUR Lifetime.
She is a social media maven who has built over 30 pages and groups online and
has global conversations on her radio show with Bullion Bankers, Authors, and
Leaders in Social change. She shared
with us how she was able to share Global concerts for peace on over 2000 websites
including the United Nations website every year on Peace day.She also gave us great information to help
all of offer value to our customers and staff through a social media marketing
plan.
·Build a
business page. If you do not currently have a Facebook page for your
business she suggests building one, it is a great and free way to share,
inspire and communicate with current and potential customers and clients. Don’t
be intimidated because it is very simple and step by step process. It is like
taking baby steps, you just have to take the first one here: www.facebook.com/pages/create.php
·Create a
URL for your business page. If you're an admin of your Facebook Page, you'll be
able to choose a username for it at: http://www.facebook.com/usernameYou can choose a username for each
eligible Page you manage.
·Facebook Buttons: Integrate Facebook connect
buttons into your company website.
https://www.facebook.com/badgesWebsite visitors can easily connect to Facebook with the
click of a button.
·Add Value: Share information
about products & services, but don’t spam. Insert an interesting data point
into a visual. Find Cartoons about
your industry. Take behind the scenes pictures of staff, customers and office
happenings. Share videos, like case
studies, interviews and quick tips & how-to content. Answer Questions (either posted or FYI)
·Posting
Tip: When posting information on Facebook & Twitter, add a statement
describing the link that you post so that when it shows up on the Newsfeed, it
will encourage more people to take action and click the link! On Twitter it
simply shows up as a URL, so why would anyone click on it?
Once you have your Page set up and you start adding content
and information invite people to “Like” your page. You are invited to share it
on the Elk Valley BC page as long as you add a descriptive comment letting
people know what your business is about, what you do, who you are and why you
are inviting people to check out your page. Just adding a link is the online equivalent
of walking up to a total stranger and trying to French kiss them. If you would
not do that in real life, don’t do it online by just posting a URL to your
website on everyone’s page; that is Spam and just as unwanted!
Y
ou can find out more great information about Social Media on
another one of Marcia’s pages: https://www.facebook.com/howtosocialmedia
If you have any questions about how to start or what to do, post your question
there, she will get back to you!
