Off The Wall: Sales Of Michael Jackson Posters Soar

By Jenna Landers

Just three weeks ago, sales of Michael Jackson posters were nothing remarkable; whilst slight increases had been experienced due to the superstar's upcoming comeback tour in London, England. However, in the three weeks since his tragic death, the race for Jackson memorabilia has been on. As a result, prices have soared as demand challenges supply.

As millions of fans across the world struggle to reconcile Jackson's death, an equally high number of people are looking at the collective outpouring of feeling as a time to profit.

It is not just auction sites and their members where people are profiting however. Many poster distributors and retailers are welcoming the extra business, despite the tragic circumstances that have triggered it. A small company, Pyramid International in the UK, have had to take on extra staff to cope with demand.

Trade has been so hectic at Pyramid International, that despite the employment of extra staff; working extra shifts at evenings and weekends has become a normal part of the working week.

Despite Pyramid only holding exclusivity across the United Kingdom; their order book is bursting with sales from the United States and Australia, as well as closer to home European sales, due to their readiness with supply.

Originally intended for sale throughout the, "This Is It" tour, in London, these rapidly modified Michael Jackson posters have proved the most popular.

This is not an isolated story; far from it. It is the most poignant though; considering Jackson, and his advisors, decided to use London's O2 arena in the UK to re-launch his career instead of his native US.

Many of us had Michael Jackson posters in our youth; but may have lost interest in the star. It could be worthwhile looking in storage to see if you have any old posters about. It may just be worth it.

If you are willing to sell some of your old Michael Jackson posters, or some other memorabilia, it could be a welcome boost to help buy his unreleased music that is set to hit stores in the lead up the Christmas Holiday period this year.

Subconscious Mind Power - A Means To An End

By Graham J Milne

If you've ever seen the old movie, "Field of Dreams," you might remember the saying, "If you build it, they will come." You have your own field of dreams, and that is your subconscious mind. In this case, "If you think it, it will come."

See, the power to create the life of your dreams, to change the person you are, to change the way things are in your life is all in your mind. The power of the mind is a beautiful thing, honestly. The mind has the power to heal us, to transcend us to make us feel good or make us feel bad. The subconscious mind power that each of us have is enough to completely change the world if we all would only take control of that power.

If you're skeptical, don't worry. A lot of people are. However, let's take a look at a few examples of just how powerful your mind can be. One of the most obvious is scientific, and actually occurs in the medical field. This particular subconscious mind effect has been documented over and over again. Called the "placebo effect," it's most often used when medical trials are underway. One group of patients in the study is given a placebo, which is made of some type of inert substance that has no physical effect. The other group of patients in the study is given the actual drug. Both groups are told what the medication is used for and what it should do for them. Neither group knows whether they've gotten the placebo or the actual medication.

Most studies have shown at least some of what is called the "placebo effect." That is, at least some of the people in the placebo group have shown "effects" from the "drug," even though they've actually gotten a placebo. That is, their subconscious minds decided that they had gotten the drug and produced some of the same benefits and side effects as they were told the actual medication would give them. Simply, these patients believed they had gotten the medication, so their subconscious minds produced the medication's effects to at least some degree.

Or, let's take another example. Perhaps you've gone to the doctor to get a medication for something that's wrong with you. You may have noticed that although a doctor will tell you what the side effects are, he or she will usually minimize them to at least some extent. That's because it's been shown that patients will often exaggerate the side effects in their own minds (or become the small percentage that actually experiences severe side effects), and actually begin to experience those side effects as a sort of "negative self-fulfilling prophecy." Doctors don't want that to happen, so although they are beholden by law to tell you what side effects are, they don't exaggerate them specifically because they don't want patients to create side effects.

What do these two examples above prove? That the power of suggestion AND the power of the subconscious mind will give you a very powerful results. It works in the medical field, and it can work in your everyday life, too. Why can't you tap into this power and positively change your life? You can, with the power of suggestion; change the way your subconscious mind works by using it to your advantage.

Or, you may want to use visualization to alter the way you see things. Visualization is a simple technique that really, truly works. You can do this a couple of ways. Try this; close your eyes and visualize what you want. See it as though you're looking at it from your perspective, with it right in front of you.

Another way to use your subconscious mind to change your reality is to actually find or create a physical picture. Let's say, for example, that you want a specific kind of new car. Find a picture of that car in a magazine, or better yet, have a friend take a picture of you standing by that car. Hang that picture up where you can see it every day. The more you see it, the more you will imprint that vision of yourself with the car you want in your subconscious mind. And because your subconscious mind is so powerful, it will eventually make that become a reality.

The power of the subconscious mind is not newly discovered; many people have known about it for years, in fact, and use it to their advantage. However, until recently, it's been a nebulous rather than scientifically proven fact. That's changed with scientists' discovery of the scientific process associated with the power of the subconscious mind.

At subatomic levels matter ceases to be 'solid' and is shown to be pure energy. Quantum physics has shown beyond doubt that this energy can be manipulated by the mind. In fact as strange as it seems, quantum physics actually shows that this energy can not exist without the mind of the observer.

So matter/energy only exists because it is being observed; in other words it is the mind which is responsible for the matter existing - not the other way around. All matter and hence all reality has been proven to be a creation of our mind. This is the true meaning of 'subconscious mind power'!

Ancient religions have known this for thousands of years, but modern science has finally jumped on board with this knowledge, too, since the advent of quantum physics. Therefore, no matter your spiritual mindset, you can't deny that quantum physics proves the power of the mind.

So if you could change your life just by thinking about it, wouldn't you? All you have to do is harness your subconscious mind power. Use it to your advantage instead of letting it control you. Spend the next week using affirmations or visualization techniques to acquire what you want. Make it something small at first and when you see that it works make yourself a new life by developing your subconscious mind power.

Tennis Psychology (Part 1)

By Gail Jones

Tennis psychology is the same as understanding the workings of your opponent's mind and gauging the effect of your own strategy on his/her head and also understanding the mental effects resulting from the different external causes on your own head.

However, it is also true that you no one can be a successful psychologist of others without first understanding his own psychology. Therefore, you must study the effect on yourself of the same thing occurring under different circumstances. This is because people react differently in different moods and under different circumstances.

You must realize the effect on your game of the resulting irritation, joy, confusion, or whatever other form your reaction is. Does it increase your efficiency? If so, strive for it, but never give it to your opponent. Does it deprive you of concentration? If so, either remove the reason, or if that is not possible, strive to ignore it.

After you have properly assessed your own reaction to circumstances, observe your opponents to determine their characters. Similar temperaments react in a like way, and you may judge people of your own sort by yourself. Different characters you have to seek to compare with those people, whose reactions you are already familiar with.

Someone who can control his/her own mental processes runs an excellent chance of reading those of someone else for the minds works along definite lines of thought and can be examined. One can only regulate one's own thought processes after examining them very carefully .

The steady, unemotional baseline player is seldom a quick thinker. If he were, he would not stay on the baseline. The physical appearance of a player is usually a pretty clear indication of his/her type of mind. The stolid, easy-going player, who usually displays the baseline game, does so because he hates to stir up his/her slow mind to think out a safe strategy of reaching the net.

However, then there is the other kind of baseline player, who would prefer to remain on the rear of the court while supervising an attack intended to break up your game. He is a much more dangerous player and a deep, quick thinking antagonist. He obtains his/her results by changing his/her length and direction and worrying you with the variety of his/her game. This player is a very good psychologist.

The first sort of tennis player mentioned above just hits the ball without much thought about what he is actually doing, while the latter always has a definite strategy and sticks to it.

Japanese Cosplay and The Sex Industry

By Nichelle Hitomi

The twenty first century has brought a new meaning to Japanese cosplay globally. Cosplay originated in Japan, and today many Japanese think this practice is silly. The younger Japanese generation have given a whole new meaning to cosplay, introducing parties as well as clubs that are dedicated to cosplay.

Japanese cosplay has spread globally, and all dedicated cosplayers can join social groups, as well as personalize your cosplay profile on various sites on the internet. You can literally be whoever you choose to, as well as acting out your chosen character with no repercussions or stigmas attached. This is now fast becoming an accepted practice worldwide.

In Japan it is now a trend to have cosplay parties as well as going to nightclubs that are dedicated to cosplay. The costumes are specifically designed to the exact detail of the character they are portraying. Cosplaying is a unique form of art, like sculpturing or painting. A popular trend in Japan now is to act out non-Japanese fantasy as well as science fiction. Harry Potter for instance has become exceptionally popular, as well as various other popular films.

Browsing the internet you will find lots of pictures of people from all over the world showing off their creations, as well as contests and even lectures on cosplay. Both adults and children take part in cosplay. There is also cross dressing where men take the role of a female character. The Japanese are known for crossplaying. Body suits and masks are worn by the males and they are fully transformed into female characters.

In recent years role playing rather than cosplay of a favourite character has become popular whereby participants are photographed and these photographs are used for magazines, TV, film production and are also shared with other players of social groups and networks.

There are special Japanese cosplay agencies and video game companies that have models, modelling only cosplay costumes. Many film and video companies are scrambling to hire cosplayers. The cosplayers are seen as fictional characters in flesh. Cosplayers have virtually replaced the agency models, as they have the ability to re-create the character they portray with accuracy, and are able to stand apart from standard models.

Japanese cosplay originated in Japan, and majority of cosplay still takes place in Japan. Cosplay is considered to be typical behaviour in Japan, and has spread across the globe just as anime has becoming a popular hobby and various print media features cosplayers.

The Japanese cosplay is not only about sex temples, cafes, and clubs. The younger Japanese generation have given a whole new meaning to cosplay, introducing parties as well as clubs that are dedicated to Japanese cosplay. People come from all over the globe to compete and show off their costumes and to see others costumes. Cosplay is becoming extremely popular worldwide, and cosplay popularity is increasing daily. Online you will find hundreds of cosplay sites you can visit and many cosplay societies and clubs that you are able to join. What a wonderful way of making new friends and contacts worldwide as well as being able to act out your wildest dreams.
