Lifetime Learning Systems I found this on the alt.culture website. It is not a direct statement from Lifetime Learning Systems (LLS) but does provoke some interesting speculation about involvement with LLS altculture.com <<Lifetime Learning Systems Leader (founded 1978) in the newly vibrant industry of marketing to children during school. "Kids spend 40 percent of each day in the classroom where traditional advertising can't reach them," complained a late-'80s Lifetime brochure. "Now you can enter the classroom through custom-made learning materials created with your specific marketing objectives in mind." Along with Modern Talking Pictures, Scholastic, and other kid-marketing outfits, Lifetime specializes in disguising advertising as educational texts, filmstrips, and videos for the classroom. M&M/Mars sponsors a lesson plan on nutrition; Procter & Gamble sponsors "Facts About Dishwashable Surfaces," as part of their home-cleaning curriculum; Georgia-Pacific, the lumber company, provides a text discussing the virtue of removing old growth trees from the forest and replacing them with new "supertrees." Cash-strapped schools get posters, quizzes, and texts loaded with information on everything from the safety of nuclear power to the thickness of spaghetti sauce. "If there's a cardinal rule in preparing sponsored material," explains Modern's Ed Swanson, "it is that it must serve the needs of the communicator first. But it also must have perceived value in the classroom.">>> To reiterate-->>"Kids spend 40 percent of each day in the classroom where traditional advertising can't reach them," When potential corporate sponsors see what kind of benefits schools and school kids, AMERICAS FUTURE, can receive by fundraising using THEIR PRODUCTS with the MYCARD marketing approach, do you think they might just LINE UP to team up with TSIG and LLS to enter the classroom? SLAFFE touched on this in post 18034. Kodak has made a sweet deal here, being the first corporation to enter the classroom with TSIG to help raise funds, with their product, for todays school kids(tomorrows consumers) and NMF which will most likely become a VERY VISIBLE charitable org. Mind you, this is not being opportunistic at the expense of school children, it is for the BENEFIT of school children. It seems that most everything that I have seen TSIG do with their MYCARD makes me feel GOOD about their efforts because of the benefit to others. Let me admit, It also makes me feel good because of the benefit to me as a stock holder. What do you think? Could the TSIG/LLS partnership with CDs and Kodak products lead to other WIN-WIN-WIN opportunities for SCHOOLS-TSIG-? Take Care ALL! Boyd Zander

REW, Does TSIG intend to announce any monthly sales numbers. A PR with an increase in sales probably would do more for the price of the stock then most of the forecasted numbers. Example; TSIG's sale of music cards, CD's and Tapes for the month of February increased by ___ % over the previous month due to the start of thebabecard.com fundraising of the Babe Ruth League. This is just one of the fundraising programs just starting, among the others are, LIST them. This will give the "street" an idea of what is to come! BEST, Ed

REW, Should TSIG take a short cut to NASDAQ? This is how it's done! Suggest it to RG at your next meeting. Perhaps Marty or Rich will pick it up from the thread. For those, who are asking yourself what a “Reverse Merger” is, right about now, it is simply one way to take a company public (to get a company listed on an exchange so that its shares are freely tradable). Many companies complete Initial Public Offerings and list on an exchange directly, however, a company can get listed on an exchange to allow for free trading of its shares quickly and cheaply by completing a “Reverse Merger”. A company finds a “shell company” which is a publicly traded company with few shareholders, no business, and little assets, gets acquired by the “shell company” and then changes the name of the “shell company” to the new entity. In addition, the company's' stock shares are acquired by the “shell company” and then the shares of the “shell company” are exchanged for those of the new entity. Sound complicated? The benefit of this is that a company can become publicly traded quickly and easily, saving months of lag time which would normally by used completing necessary paperwork to become publicly traded. What's the catch? The old “shell company” gets paid for its efforts listing their company on an exchange by exchanging their shares for shares in the new entity. The amount is usually a small amount of shares and therefore has little impact on the share dilution. Enough technical talk, right? We agree. A “Reverse Merger” is simply a shortcut for becoming publicly traded quickly. This is edited from one of my e-mails. The "Reverse Merger" can also be done from a BB company to a NASDAQ company. Just a short-cut suggestion! BEST, Ed
