Public Company Merger - Public Reverse Merger and Reverse IPO

By James Scott

If you are trying to raise capital with a PPM or public entity like OTCBB you need to understand the mind of the investor. After the business plan sells the investor on the business concept you need to sell them on you and your executive staff. You need to stack your executive positions with professionals with a proven track record of success and possess a solid reputation in the industry. You must paint the picture for investors that your business is run by the who's who in your industry and this pedigree is demonstrated by your education, degree, grades in college, professional organizations of which you have been and are currently a member, advisory board positions with other corporate organizations, a track record of setting up and maintaining strategic alliances, networking contacts and more.

When an investor looks at your human resource list on your PPM, business plan or public offering docs it needs to scream power, authority and confidence. Each individual that you place on your advisory board must have a massive contribution other than 'advice'. Advisors should be able to prove their ability to assist in crucial decisions, connect your company with strategic partners and help you get to the next level.

Your legal counsel and CPA should be well known organizations with a long list of successful, well known organizations on their client roster and they should have a lot more to offer your company than just their fee based services. Again, these organizations should be able to set you up with partnerships that will help grow your business. As far as corporate awareness you must include a publicist. The publicist that you choose must be well versed in their comprehension of your industry genre.

They must be able to take your company and get you in front of the proper audience that is conducive to enhancing your growth potential. They must be able to demonstrate their knowledge of viral online marketing as well as traditional means of radio, TV and article promotion. They should be able to reach into their contact list and set you up with one interview after another targeting your specific audience.

These are just a few things to take into consideration when you jump on the fund raising trail. Every individual you have listed on your docs must be able to pass due diligence and have the appeal that reaches into the 'comfort' zone portion of the investor's mind.

Astral Travel, The Universe And You!

By Joe M Burns

When you have those dreams of flight, this is very similar to the experience of astral travel. The feeling of being airborne is much like the way that your astral body travels through the astral plane. All you need to do is focus on the place you want to be or on the things which you want and your astral body is there in the blink of an eye. When your physical body and mind are at rest, your astral body is free to roam the universe.

Astral travel can occur during sleep, but it is important to make the distinction between astral travel and dreaming. These are two separate phenomenal; dreams happen in the brain and are our mind's way of processing the events of your day. It replays your day in combination with other remembered events and in this way, we work through the stresses of daily life and awaken refreshed. Astral travel is something else entirely and while you forget many of your dreams even before you awake, this is not the case with astral projection.

Those times when you awake and can remember in perfect detail everything from your dream, this probably wasn't a dream at all, but your memory of astral travel! It's a good idea to start keeping a journal to document these experiences. Not all of them are going to make sense at first, but like a sculptor chipping away at a block of marble, they will take shape and tell you something eventually.

Just as dreams allow your mind to process your day, astral travel refreshes the spirit. The experiences you have and the benefits you'll see as a result of astral travel are unique to you. This makes keeping an astral travel journal a good idea, since comparing your results to those of someone else is of little value.

One of the benefits of astral travel common to everyone who practices this ability is an increased sense of self awareness and a better idea of where you fit into the rest of the universe. This helps you have inner peace and enhances your sense of well being. Memory and general mental acuity are also commonly improved by astral travel due to normally unused parts of your mind being accessed as you astral project.

Astral travel tends to help other innate psychic talents come to the surface. Many who have learned to use astral travel say that they feel more telepathic and can more easily detect spiritual presences around them.

Astral travel lets you see things and go places you never would be able to otherwise; including inside your own psyche; and the reward is that psychic abilities and mental acuity begin to bloom.

There are many who had once been skeptical about astral travel; but once experiencing it for themselves, they have a different take on things. The way that astral travel expands your view of the universe and increases many of your natural abilities is simply impossible to ignore.

The psychic and mental benefits entirely aside, there is a recreational element to astral travel as well. It's undeniably fun to be able to leave your body and see new sights.

Really, it's amazing that everyone doesn't use astral travel. However, most people mistakenly believe that this is an ability which can be used only by a very lucky few. In fact, the opposite is true: anyone can astral travel; it's only a question of making the choice to develop this natural ability.

You have almost certainly had the experience of astral projection before, although it is possible you were unaware that this is what you were doing.

To begin astral projecting, the best method is to allow yourself to naturally experience it and start keeping a record. Once you can start to recognize these experiences as you are having them, then it's time to begin practicing on consciously leaving your physical body for astral travel. As you practice, your psychic abilities and your mind will grow sharper.

Each of us has the ability to astral travel. With practice and determination, you can train yourself to astral project. There are resources available which can help you to ready yourself to use this natural ability. With time and patience, you'll achieve your goal and gain the inner peace which comes with learning astral travel.

Cool Trends Animal Rubber Bands

By Karen C. Hardt

If you've yet to hear about Animal rubber bands, you're bound to be bombarded in the next few months. First appearing on the scene in 2002 as a specialty product of an older company, the rubber band craze has compelled manufactures and retails from all the across the globe to get in on the fad.

In actuality, the craze began back in about five years ago and spread from the Eastern coast of the United States to the West very quickly, getting the attention of school aged kids, pre-teens and teens and even of young adults in college. While they have also become increasingly popular among working adults and office settings, their main demographic is overwhelmingly youth culture who are infatuated with wearing the bands as bracelets, flicking them around in classic fashion and lately--trading them. Yes, like trading cards.

But what exactly makes these seemingly ordinary, albeit fun shaped office supplies so alluring?

It could be the bright colors, the range of which is expanding proportionately to the bands still growing popularity. Or it could be the large selection of animals to available to choose from: crustaceans, commonly known zoo animals, every day house hold pets, reptiles, birds, fish and even dinosaurs.

However, it is most likely that the latest bands' forgiving elastic limit is to blame for their, as of yet, still undiminishing popularity.

The bands sold during the early years of the new millennium were not very spectacular; they were manufactured from the same material as other ordinary office rubber bands and were not particularly more durable than their traditional counterparts. The animal bands of today, however, just as those that hit stores in 2005, are made out of a crucial component for their famed durability: silicone.

The silicone in these bands are what permits the product to stretch out farther and stay that way for longer periods of time without compromising the overall shape of the band. It also makes it more durable, resilient and prone to a longer use life.

The latest models available today are extremely elastic and very good at retaining their shape over all and returning to it promptly, even after multiple periods of prolonged use. Best of all, they are perfectly capable of handling the usual necessary rubber band demanding tasks, whether in the home, in the office or in the classroom.

People in the children's toys industry have compared the growing fad to the similar over night success of beanie babies in the mid nineties, which became a world spread sensation in very little time.

Because the items are in such high demand, there is heavy competition between manufacturers, a happy fact for competing retailers who are not partial about who they buy the product from. They say, no matter what the brand, the items have been known to sell out within hours of a new shipment being stocked.

The powerlessness of the brand in this instance is peculiar, but has its ties to the history of the bands the current major vendor is not the one who first created the product; and the nature of the product: simple to recreate. So many competing companies have surfaced in such a short time that the public has yet to find appreciable differences in quality or variety.

For many industry insiders, the consensus prediction is that the popularity of the bands will dove tail fast soon after they reach their peak infamy. Market saturation of the product, which has yet to occur, is well on it's way, they claim and is bound to end the pop culture phenomenon almost as quickly as it began. Get them while they're hot!
