10. Solvents

Many solvents can lead to a sudden loss of consciousness if inhaled in large amounts. Solvents like diethyl ether and chloroform have been used in medicine as anesthetics, sedatives, and hypnotics for a long time. Ethanol (grain alcohol) is a widely used and abused psychoactive drug. Diethyl ether, chloroform, and many other solvents (e.g. from gasoline or glues) are used recreationally in glue sniffing, often with harmful long term health effects like neurotoxicity or cancer. Methanol can cause permanent blindness and death.  It is interesting to note that ethanol has a synergistic effect when taken in combination with many solvents. For instance a combination of toluene/benzene and ethanol causes greater nausea/vomiting than either substance alone. -wikipedia.org

9. Psychedelic Mushrooms

Psilocybin mushrooms, (magic mushrooms) are fungi that contain the medicinal compounds psilocybin and psilocin. There are multiple colloquial terms for psilocybin mushrooms, the most common being magic mushrooms or shrooms. Noticeable changes to the audio, visual, and tactile senses may become apparent from between ten minutes to an hour after ingestion. These shifts in perception, visually, include enhancement and contrasting of worldly colors, strange light phenomena (such as auras or “halos” around light sources and other beings), increased visual acuity, surfaces that seem to ripple, shimmer, or breathe; complex open and closed eye visuals of form constants or images, objects that warp, morph, or change solid colors; a sense of melting into the environment, and trails behind moving objects. Sounds seem to be heard with increased clarity; music, for example, can often take on a profound sense of cadence and depth. Some users experience synesthesia, wherein they perceive, for example, a visualization of color upon hearing a particular sound. -wikipedia.org

Business Environment

Imagine yourself a new businessman, what are the objectives of business that you will keep in mind, if you have to launch a new business. In business, not every good idea succeeds. The dot-com experience showed that even if you get millions to fund your business, your business could still fail if all the elements for success are not present. Selling pet food on the Internet is a dumb idea; hence, it is no wonder that Pets.com perished. WebVan.com closed one of its warehouses, after learning that delivering groceries 80 miles away from a distribution center is not such a bright idea after all.

So what do we need to do to successfully jumpstart a new business? I think here are six steps to launch a new business successfully.

1. Provide a benefit.

A new business stands a greater chance at success if it is responding to a need of a consumer. Our potential customers will buy our products or service if they see that it provides some benefits to them. We must be able to respond to their “what is it for me” question.

As a new business owner, our main task is to understand the difference between the features of our business and the benefits it provides. For example, if we are in the business of selling baby gift boxes, the feature and benefits are:

Feature: Baby toys, books, CDs and videos not found in department stores

Benefit: The customer will be able to conveniently find in one location the baby gift items she or he wants.

There are several differences from how business-to-business sales communications differ from selling to individuals. Some differences in business-to-business sales and selling to individuals are the quantity in demand, pricing, relationships, and marketing.

When a business-to-business sale is done there is usually a need for higher amounts of items. When a business buys from another business, they usually buy in bulk, and they usually will have orders coming in at least once a month. This is an importance difference in communication because the business on the selling end knows they are going to sell larger amounts and takes this into consideration when making deals with the business on the buying side.

Pricing is a direct result of buying in quantity because a price of larger quantities of items is always going to be lower. When you buy something in bulk it is inevitably cheaper, and this allows the communication between the two businesses to discuss the quantity need and the prices available at that quantity. This relates directly to how the communication will go because businesses who are selling to other businesses want to keep them as customers because they are guaranteed to provide them with a longer and more profitable commitment.

Relationships vary from business-to-business sales and selling to the individual. Many business-to-business sales occur through a relationship where both businesses have worked with each other and develop a long lasting business relationship. In individual sales this is less often the case. Most individual sales do not develop such a strong relationship because they are not working with each other on a constant basis.
