Introducing a New Form of Crowdfunding
What the company claimed was that this device could filter oxygen out of seawater, allowing divers to develop "artificial gills," which can give them 45 minutes of shallow shipwreck exploration.

Important Tips to Improve a Business Organization
Running your dream business at times can seem to be a lot of work and discipline, especially for entrepreneurs when first starting. But operating a small or large business can actually be very easy if there is an efficient business organization in place.
