Lavender

Lavender (L. angustifolia and others) is a shrubby flowering bush indigenous to the mountainous regions of the western Mediterranean and is considered have been first domesticated by the Arabians, then later spread across Europe by the Romans.

Lavender was brought to North America by the Pilgrims and was one of the first garden plants imported to Australia in the 19th century. It can be found in abundance in the wild in many parts of the world as well as being garden grown in a sunny, well-drained area, preferably in mildly alkaline soil. The smaller species will also grow quite easily in well-drained pots. This popular flowering herb?s essential oil has been demonstrated to depress the central nervous system in a manner comparable to pharmaceutical tranquilizers.

Lavender is very useful and effective in its usage as a sleep aid. In addition to the use of lavender flowers in a brewed tea, it may also used in the form of an essential oil distilled from the leaves, flowers and stems of the plant.

Lavender oil can be applied topically to relax the muscles or its aroma can be inhaled for a calming effect.

In the early

In the early stages, a victim of Alzheimer’s is quite often found to be in a confused state, and facing problems with short-term memory. There are usually problems with paying attention and in terms of spatial orientation.

The personality of the person affected usually undergoes a massive change coupled with frequent mood swings and the language of the patient may be affected. However, it should be noted that Alzheimer’s disease does not affect everyone in the same way,and this can make the disease quite difficult to diagnose.

In the early stages of the illness, patients tend to lose energy and their alertness of mind decreases but this change is hardly noticeable.

Target a local or regional

Target a local or regional niche that you have serviced. If you service or sell to the military, obtain emails from military and military-related clients to create an email list. Fifty or more emails will do. Then customize a small email campaign and send it along.

Here is a more specific example of a viral campaign we recently launched for a new client.

This client offers luxury automobile leasing programs to busy professionals. They have various clients in the professions of communications, finance, advertising, medical and legal. They wanted to acquire new medical and attorney clientele in their geographical sales area.

We first went to the Super Pages and searched Doctors / Virginia Beach, Attorneys / Virginia Beach and other regional cities. Super Pages lists a website and email address in most cases.

We then created a graphic email to target each group. We DID NOT emphasize any part of ?selling.? Instead, we emphasized the cost savings and tax advantages of leasing. This is known as a soft-sell.

Sawbuck Expands to Phoenix

Sawbuck Expands to Phoenix

PR Newswire, July 9, 2010

Partners with Russ Lyon Sotheby’s, Saves Phoenix Buyers $14,870

WASHINGTON, July 9 /PRNewswire/ — Online real estate broker Sawbuck Realty (www.sawbuck.com) today expanded into the Phoenix metropolitan area and partnered with Arizona residential real estate company Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, bringing Sawbuck customers local expertise and unmatched customer service. Phoenix-area homebuyers now can use Sawbuck.com to search for homes for sale and research recent sales; and the company’s mobile site (m.sawbuck.com) from any web-enabled smartphone when on the go.

“Sawbuck delivers exactly what Phoenix real estate consumers need. Today’s consumer starts their real estate search online, but the nuts and bolts of the transaction still must be done offline,” said John Vatistas, co-owner of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty. “Sawbuck recognizes this reality by giving consumers unfettered access to housing data on their website, and then connecting them with our leading, full-service agents when they are ready to start touring homes.”

Sawbuck simplifies the home buying and selling process, without asking customers to compromise on either service or cost. Consumers start their home search on Sawbuck.com, where they can search by property type, neighborhood or address to find homes for sale, local market stats and recently sold properties. In Phoenix, a Sawbuck advisor then connects buyers with experienced, local real estate agents at Russ Lyon Sotheby’s, and streamlines their transactions.

“We’ve been told we are crazy to continue to expand in this volatile real estate market. However, like any industry, the successful companies have the infrastructure in place to deliver in the interim and when demand heats up. With Russ Lyon Sotheby’s we are confident we have the best partner for now and in the future,” said Sawbuck CEO Guy Wolcott.

Also today, Sawbuck launched a new version of its home page that highlights daily real estate changes for each metro area it covers, including:

* What Can You Buy for the Money: View a slide show of 15 similarly priced homes from around the city, with a different price point every day. Consumers easily can switch between cities to see what they can get for their money across the country.

* Top Five Lists: Check out a different list every day such as top five local markets with the lowest inventory, highest prices or fewest days on market.

* Most Popular Listings: Be in the know and find out which homes get the most daily views.

How Sawbuck Works

Sawbuck connects buyers and sellers with top local real estate agents, streamlines their transactions, and saves them thousands of dollars up front and hundreds more every year. Buyers who work with Sawbuck get a below-market mortgage from reputable lenders such as Bank of America.

Sawbuck is the first real estate broker to establish mortgage alliances not to profit, but to save buyers money. The company subsidizes every mortgage, driving down the interest rate, and offers a $1,000 guarantee if a customer finds a better mortgage deal.

Phoenix Buyers Save $14,870 with Sawbuck

Throughout June 2010, Sawbuck compared the 30-year fixed mortgage rate available to its customers with the national average rate as reported in Bankrate.com’s weekly survey of lenders, a reliable indicator of mortgage rates for the last 20 years. The average Sawbuck rate was 0.37 percent better. On a $400,000 mortgage, that’s a savings of $91 per month, or $32,843 over the life of the loan.

In June 2010, 9,063 Phoenix-area homes sold with an average sales price of $181,105. If those buyers used Sawbuck, they would have saved $41 a month, totaling $14,870 over the life of the loan.

Sawbuck sellers receive a 20 percent refund of the listing commission at closing; for a $500,000 house that would normally pay a seller’s agent commission of three percent, the savings would be $3,000.

Since launching in January 2008, Sawbuck has completed more than $50 million in real estate transactions in the eight markets it serves.

Nantes so fine; SECOND TO GUIDE NANTES, FRANCE

0 Comments | Sunday Mail (Glasgow, Scotland), July 11, 2010

Byline: BRIDGET MCGROUTHER

Nantes now By the mouth of the Loire River, Nantes is often called the “Venice of the West” because of its seven waterways. Once the capital of Brittany, it is also the birthplace of Jules Verne. Nantes has been imaginatively regenerated and is brimming with attractions. Medieval masterpieces Access to the courtyard of the Castle of the Dukes of Brittany is free but there is a charge for the excellent Nantes History Museum. The Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul is nearby, as well as Bouffay, the old quarter. The Pass Nantes, available for up to 72 hours, offers free entry to most attractions and public transport.

-Machine kitted Le Jardin des Machines de L’Ile Nantes (Garden of Machines), near the cruise terminal, is like the fantasy worlds of Jules Verne and Leonardo Da Vinci come to life. The star is the 12m-tall Great Elephant, an incredible, robotic hulk that can carry 50 passengers. Don’t miss the workshop and gallery, too.

Around the museum The Jules Verne Museum is a tribute to Nantes’ most celebrated son. Located in a beautiful 14th-century building, the museum has diverse artefacts, from Verne’s desk and manuscripts to bizarre inventions. The Museum of Fine Arts is also worth a visit.

Jobs at risk as William Hill reviews shops and phone betting

Jobs at risk as William Hill reviews shops and phone betting

0 Comments | Daily Post; Liverpool (UK), Jul 27, 2010 | by Anonymous

UP TO 350 jobs are under threat at William Hill after the bookmaker announced plans to move its telephone business offshore and review some loss-making betting shops.

William Hill said 150 jobs could be lost across its Sheffield and Leeds call centres – which employ 400 staff between them – as part of a move to establish a new call centre in Gibraltar.

The Leeds centre will close and the Sheffield site will be handed over to Knowsley outsourcing firm Vertex.

William Hill is also reviewing the future of 50 of its 170 unprofitable shops, which it said could put another 200 jobs at risk by the end of the year.

Last week William Hill said it had enjoyed a good half-year, with the World Cup one of the best for bookmakers in 40 years.

Chief executive Ralph Topping yesterday hit out at “unfair pressure” on the business due to competition from offshore operators and betting exchanges like Betfair – allowing punters to act as bookmakers – working under a more favourable tax regime.

Earlier this year Ladbrokes closed its Aintree call centre with the loss of 263 jobs

I recommend a stair-stepped

I recommend a stair-stepped commission or bonus plan that isn?t neatly incremental.

When you get to the top flights, you leap several steps in sales compensation at a time, leaving your more earthbound peers in the proverbial dust.

Two forms of motivation are required to make and sustain a championship teams: positive rewards for the winners, and negative reinforcement for the losers.

As General Patton said in the movie, ?America loves a winner and simply won?t tolerate a loser.?

In an achievement culture moderate or average producers are losers. Don?t tolerate them for long, unless you want to send a hopelessly mixed message!
