Numerous buyers and investors who have been eyeing the popular Strawberry Park Resort Campground in Preston, Connecticut, could look forward to February 2011. This is because a possible foreclosure auction sale of the property is set on February 26. People privy to the issue asserts that it is very likely that the foreclosure sale would proceed.
Strawberry Park was foreclosed after its owner, Hyman Biber, has failed to repay a $3.4 million loan provided by Preston Strawberry Associates of Norwalk, which is represented by lawyer Mark Stern. Mr. Biber and creditors agreed in a federal bankruptcy court to a December 20 deadline for the businessman to fight or postpone the scheduled foreclosure sale.
Mr. Biber’s lawyer, Carl Gulliver, said his client would fight to keep the ownership of the popular campground. Mr. Stern countered the statement by saying that Mr. Biber could not possibly halt the scheduled foreclosure sale without a ‘white knight’ that should come to his rescue soon.
Mr. Stern said the court agreement was his team’s effort to make sure that Mr. Biber would not be able to delay the scheduled foreclosure auction even through his last-minute bankruptcy filings. He added that Mr. Biber should immediately file for a Chapter 11 proceeding before December 20, which he assured is impossible. On the said date, the case would be converted to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing, which disallows reorganization.
Strawberry Park comprises of a 160-acre land nestled right in the heart of southeastern Connecticut. It is near Mystic Seaport and Mohegan Sun Casinos. The campground has always been among the most popular camping destinations in the state. As a resort campground, Strawberry Park has received high ratings from different review bodies.
The property was already involved in legal controversies in the past. A court recently ruled to an $8 million case involving Mr. Biber and TD Bank, which won the battle. Consequently, the court appointed a manager to the campground.
Currently, Strawberry Park is being run and managed by Florida-based Elite Resorts. Mr. Stern is confident that the scheduled foreclosure sale would proceed. He said, by then, the controversial and popular resort campground would hopefully have a new owner. Observers note that many potential buyers and investors are waiting for the auction, so they could seize the opportunity to finally own the property.

Advantages of a Plastic Greenhouse
There are mainly two types of greenhouse – plastic greenhouse and glass greenhouse. A large number of people get confused about which greenhouse to choose. If you think of your childhood that you will get amazed when you listen about a greenhouse made of other than plastic. The primary function of a greenhouse is to allow the sunrays to leave its warmness inside the greenhouse. This in turn makes a feasible environment inside the greenhouse that helps in enabling healthier growth of plants. It also protects the plants from extreme cold, rain and bad weather.
Both plastic and glass greenhouses serve the same purpose to some extent. There is no definite information available that states that either one works well if used as a greenhouse surface material. Almost all the greenhouses are structurally very similar, the only factor being the greenhouse cladding material. Let’s have a detailed look of the plastic greenhouse cladding material over glass.
The major advantage of a plastic greenhouse is that it costs cheaper as compared to glass greenhouse. In case there are not so much differences in functionality and benefits, price becomes a crucial factor in every aspect. The main thing matter is the quality of greenhouse that is of prime importance. According to several studies, a plastic greenhouse is up to 30% more energy efficient compared to a glass greenhouse. In terms of expenses on the integrated energy system, you can do immense savings here using a plastic greenhouse.
If handled properly, plastic cladding is much easier to fit, saving your time and frustration once you start setting up your greenhouse. On the other hand, setting up a glass greenhouse can be complex task as every glass panel needs to be carefully attached separately.
Now compare the physical properties of glass and plastic. Glass is brittle and can break under strain.

Looking for houses in foreclosure means considering style and features
When you're looking at different types of investment properties, including Humboldt foreclosures, a common mistake is to purchase a home you like rather than a home that everyone else likes.
You need to be able to look at the best deals anywhere geographically across the United States, including Las Vegas foreclosed homes if that is where you can find the best value for your dollar.
When you're looking for the best houses in foreclosure, you need to consider the following features to make sure you are making a decision based on sound financial planning.
First of all, it's important to look at the style of home whether it is a split-level, townhouse, bi-level or contemporary design. Remember that not all of the Humboldt foreclosures you will be looking at fit into one neat category, and some of these foreclosures may span across several different designs.
Looking at the size of the home is another important factor, and although you might like the style of the Las Vegas foreclosed homes you see at first, it might make more sense to make your decision based on square footage of all the choices you have. Another deciding factor should be the floor plan of the home that you are considering.
It's important to ask yourself whether the people who are looking at houses in foreclosure in the area where you are shopping are interested in roomier homes or not. Make sure the floor plan conforms to what home buyers are currently looking for, or you can easily adapt it by knocking down walls and building additions.
Of course one of the other factors that you will need to take a good look at in Humboldt foreclosures or any other is the number of bathrooms. This is the room that is considered to be one of the deciding factors and, therefore, one area a smart investor will pay close attention to, in order to ensure they get the most return on the dollar.

A Few Mexican Shipping Companies
There are quite a few sea routes in the Mexican shipping industry, though one of the most important is located in the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico is partially landlocked, surrounded almost entirely by the North American continent, and is the 9th largest body of water in the world.
The port located on the Gulf Coast at Coatzacoalcos has become one of the most important ports in the Gulf region. The port authority here is working to obtain 50 additional hectares of land to expand their container terminal.
In an attempt to help manage the terminals at the Coatzacoalcos port, many of the shipping companies operating inside Mexico have expressed interest in a concessions contract. So far, seven different companies have shown an interest in this contract. All seven are Mexican companies, but have some kind of overseas financial support. A group of major Japanese container shipping lines (Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK) and Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha) have announced a new collaboration to connect Asia with Hawaii, Mexico and South American ports, which is a big boost to the Mexican ports and requires adequate container facilities.
Chinese shipping companies make up the majority of oversease shipping companies in Mexico. Mexico's proximity to so many markets - the US, South America and the Panama Canal - has given it a variety of cost advantages that has made shipping so cheap that even China has a hard time competing. This is a major reason that Chinese shipping operations move to Mexico to capitalise on trade advantages.
One of the world's leading global shipping companies is the Meditteranean Shipping Company or the MSC. This privately owned company is based in Escandon, Mexico and was founded in 1970. It specializes in container shipping services to and from Mexico throughout the world.
DIX shipping company Inc. Is another cargo and logistics company based in Brownsville, Texas and provides specialized cargo services from USA to Mexico and vice versa from the deepwater port of Brownsville. This is a good option for USA based companies to ship goods to Mexico and also the other way around.
So in an overview container shipping industry is growing rapidly in Mexico and looking at the planned projects by the Mexican government, would continue to grow for some time to come until it realizes its full potential.

With statistics like these it is imperative for your business to be a part of this community. It is also necessary for you to have a strategy for using Twitter in your marketing.
Here are some tips for a successful Twitter strategy to include in your marketing mix.
Building a Strong Brand and Reputation:
• Always use a professional photograph in your profile. Remember, a picture paints a thousand words – ensure what you’re saying about you and your brand is professional and not the opposite!
• Use a professional Twitter handle (name) when setting up your profile so as not to put off prospective clients and/or JV alliance partners. @SexyHotBabe (or similar names) is unprofessional and could tarnish your reputation as a professional business owner.

• Ensure your web link takes followers to a professional website including your free offer. This drives traffic back to your website and onto your list – a must in your marketing.
• Beware of what you post – you can destroy your reputation in one 140-character post if you’re not careful. If you wouldn’t want your mother to read it – DON’T press enter.
Planning Interesting Tweets that your followers will appreciate and Retweet:
• Write tweets with a mix of promos, links, pictures, and industry information. Remember, all social media tools including Twitter should not be used only to broadcast and promote your products/services, but should include valuable information, resources and tips that your community can benefit from.
• Use #hashtags in your tweets to share your posts with people who are interested in and searching for your topic of interest.
• Use #hashtags to find people who are interested in your topic of interest, follow them and reach out by starting a conversation.
• Ask your followers a question about what they are struggling with and what keeps them up at night and provide solutions to their issues.
• Take one of your articles, repurpose by developing several tips to share with your followers, and link back to the original article.
Building Your Follower Numbers AND Relationships:
• Include your Twitter handle on your business card, letterhead and any other documentation you are sending out to prospects and/or current clients and invite them to connect with you.
• Utilise Twitter lists of your followers, people you follow, and of popular profiles.

• Link your Twitter profiles to your Facebook and LinkedIn profiles to increase your exposure across multiple platforms simultaneously. Remember LinkedIn is a platform for professionals and executives to network so is far more professional in nature (in comparison to Facebook which is far more social) so make sure your posts are relevant to that target audience.
• Use the following search tools http://search.twitter.com/ or http://search.twitter.com/advanced to see what’s happening in your community – especially in your topic of expertise and add value to the conversation.
Cool Twitter Management Tools:

New Years Answering Service
What is it that makes the beginning of the New Year the busiest time for the sales team of an answering service or call center? While December is often a lackluster time for sales in a call center, January is by far the most productive time of the year. Businesses often times use the beginning of calendar year to implement the start of a call center project, or begin employing an answering service. Like many changes that a business makes, an answering service is one that people make when the calendar changes.
The Bell drops. The champagne corks pop. A Happy New Year to all. It's time to look ahead. It's time for a fresh start. It's time to think about a resolution. The New Year has always been a time for looking back in the rearview mirror, and more importantly, forward to the coming year. The New Year is a time to reflect on the changes that we want or need to make and resolve to make these changes happen. The New Year is a special time for most folks. The New Year's resolution is something that most people make.
Individuals are not the only ones making resolutions. Companies make them as well. In a business the New Year is a time to look inward and reflect on what works and what hasn't been working. This reflection often times is not an easy task. Sometimes difficult decisions need to be made. Companies often downsize at the beginning of a year. Some actually use this time as a launching pad to make a major step forward in their business.
Regardless of the type of change that a business looks to implement, a major factor in the implementation is telecommunications. A call center or answering service is the best way that a company can change and improve in the New Year. By making a resolution to utilize an answering service can have a distinct advantage over their competition. Using an answering service is a way that a business can provide coverage around the clock. An answering service is the easiest way that a business can make the changes necessary to take your business.
While companies change answering services throughout the year, the time of the year when people make the change most often is January. Answering Service sales teams need to step up their game at the beginning of the year. While change is inevitable, improvement is a choice that many businesses make. Choosing to use an answering service is a smart choice that is made by companies across the United States.

The Engagement
When
two hearts decide to join as one, they become engaged. To celebrate
that momentous decision, a gold ring with a diamond is today’s gift
of choice. This is a symbol with many meanings. For the betrothed,
this is a precious object made from gold or platinum and set with a
gemstone—usually a diamond—which has historically been reserved
for royalty. In addition, this ring is sign for the rest of the
world: we are in love, we are committed to each other, and we are
beginning a life together.
A
couple must negotiate the many choices of ring available for them:
what kind of ring do we want? Today, there is a dizzying array of
options: what shape and size of gemstone do we want? What kind of
metal would look best? What style best signifies our union? Shopping
for a ring online is a good way to compare styles and prices without
encountering eager salespersons!
Undeniably,
one of the most chosen styles of engagement ring is the vintage
or antique
style. This style conveys a sense of forever
which is, after all, how we want to express our bond. Happily, what
was once available only to the elite is now available to anyone. The
antique style
is an excellent and unique choice. It has been around for many years
and stands the test of time. The characteristics of an antique-style
ring suggest the excellence of European craftsmanship. And in
addition, here is a gift which is can fit many pocketbooks!
The
details which suggest antiquity are the use of engraving on the sides
of the ring; ornate scroll work; and accent diamonds which enhance
the center stone. The vintage style expresses the desire and
commitment of the vintage
engagement ring: it is an outward sign, visible to the world, of
our everlasting love, which anyone can understand.

Promoting your brand is an important step on the road to success for
any business. Without promoting your brand and advertising your product or
service, how will anybody know to buy it? The answer is…they won’t.
Now, before we get into discussing promotion, there’s one vital fact
that anybody with a business needs to know:
It is a lot easier to sell
a product, or service, which people actually need or want!
That sounds pretty simple, doesn’t it? But, you’d be surprised how
many salesmen there are out there that are trying to sell or promote products
that people don’t even need or want!
Now, the next thing you might ask is: “How do you find out what
people really need or want?” Well, all you have to do is ask them! People will
gladly tell you what’s missing in this world that they absolutely need but
can’t find. Or, possibly a product that does exist but that could be done
better. Everyone has an opinion and they are generally more than glad to share
it with you. You can start out by asking your family, or chat with your
neighbor, speak to your local grocer, or even better – put together a survey.
If you’ve got a great idea for a new product or a better version for a current
one, run it past them. You won’t be disappointed. Doing this vital step will
save you so much time and money and in the end you’ll have something to offer
that people can’t resist. People that skip this step end up with a pile of
useless products that can’t be sold, and worse, a failed venture. It’s not nice
to lose at anything, but in business, with a lot of money invested, it can cost
you more than you bargained for. So, keep this in mind when planning your
business and products.
That said, once you know what people need or want and you are ready
to deliver it, you’ll need to do some form of advertising or promotion. It’s a
fact that promotion and advertising increases sales. Any promotion is always
better than none. So, depending on your budget you’ll be able to do a lot or a
little. Just make sure that you do set aside some funds to do this. It will pay
off in the end!
For those on a smaller budget, one idea is to simply dress up in
costume and hand out flyers with your product on it and you’ll gain some
attention. There’s not a lot of cost involved in this option, just some money
for the printing and a little humiliation, but it will get the job done and get
your business known. Attention is what you want, after all. Now, if you’ve got
a bigger budget, then there’s always of course tv advertising, radio and
internet ads and other publication advertising. For businesses that have a
special event or function coming up, a great way to promote your brand is to
offer promotional products that people get to keep. Such as: pens, t-shirts,
key rings, temporary tattoos and other such novelty items. People love getting
stuff for free, and it’s an opportunity to get your brand known. So, keep this
in mind when planning your budget.
It’s always a good idea to keep an eye on what kind of advertising
is directly contributing to your increase in sales. This is very important in
applying what works for your business. If you do this, your income will
continue to soar.
I’ve observed this on many occasions with my own business. When
sales are down, it’s because we slowed down on our promotional efforts and when
sales are up it’s always because we sped up and worked harder on the promotion
of our business and products. We record what promotional efforts contributed to
our success and do more of these. And any promotional actions that didn’t
contribute to our increase in sales, we drop. It’s very simple and easy to do
and will contribute to the expansion of your business and brand!

Finding New York Office Space that Suits Your Company’s Needs
Office business centers have emerged as the top providers of New York office space. These companies lease the space in their large office buildings on either a short term or long term basis. This allows small businesses to effectively team up to share the costs of top notch space in New York City. The short term rental options are especially beneficial for companies that only need physical office space occasionally. If your growing business is looking at options for renting space, compare an office business center to a traditionally owned or rented office. The convenience, flexibility, and efficiency of this system will make your decision simple.
To prove the point, consider a standard long term office space rental. For every dollar spent on conventional office space, there is another dollar needed to cover overhead costs. An office manager, receptionist, and telephone operator may be needed. Supplies and equipment take another chunk of money. The office will need to be furnished and maintained, including utilities, repairs, and security, all on your company’s dime. By renting New York office space from an office center, you avoid many of these costs. The offices are fully furnished and staffed with a helpful administration team that is available twenty four hours a day. All of the building maintenance is covered and your use of the building’s phones comes at a reduced price. Basically, your company spends fifteen minutes moving its technology equipment in and the office is ready to go.
Renting New York office space from one of these buildings is cost effective on the long term scale, but more benefits are realized if your business has only short term office needs. In this situation, a conventional office would be a considerable waste of resources. At an office business center, the space you use can simply be rented out to another business when you do not need it. As long as your business specific materials are portable, this is a great system. You can tailor your space rental to your company’s time and space requirements. The lower your requirements are, the higher the potential savings. Some home businesses choose to rent space for client meetings as they come up. This allows a company to treat its clients to a highly professional environment with all the amenities offered by the building and its staff.
Looking at an even smaller scale, home businesses may select a virtual office as their New York office space. At a minimum, a virtual office provides a home business with a professional address and mail forwarding service. A downtown Manhattan address can make an impression on business partners and clients, but the better benefits include security and privacy. Home business owners who do not want a home address listed and used for their company now have a secure option. The office center can forward mail to the home address or can safeguard the mail or package until it is picked up by a company representative. The virtual office option has a number of communication services available as well, so be sure to investigate this office type completely.
Office business centers can solve your space requirements whether you are interested in New York office space on a long term, short term, or virtual basis. New York is the best place in the world to take advantage of this rental concept. The potential savings are broadened by the cost of a conventional office in such a large metropolis. In addition, New York has a number of office business centers to choose from, so a business owner can find the location and office that perfectly fits the needs of his or her company. If your growing business is looking for office space or just needs a professional mailing address, check out the available options at local office centers.

Ever tried coconut oil for weight loss?
Having
mainly used as the “hair oil” for hundreds of centuries, coconut oil is now
being discovered and introduced as a proven fat-burning diet miracle that also
boosts body energy, extensively burns stomach fat, is antibiotic, and helps
with thyroid disorders. Therefore, contrary to the “orthodox” beliefs, coconut
oil uses are now not limited to skin and hair only. In fact, scientists,
researchers and fitness enthusiast are now actively realizing that coconut oil
health benefits are far more versatile than previously thought. One of such
benefits evolves from the modern concept of “coconut oil food”, that is,
cooking with coconut oil or consuming a coconut oil diet helps you lose weight
progressively yet consistently.

Coconut
oil weight loss is mainly because of the fact that pure coconut oil diet
increases metabolism which leads to faster calorie output and rapid fat loss.
Coconut
oil diet is digested much more easily because the path of their digestion and
metabolism is simple and quick. Coconut oil food is hydrolyzed more quickly, which
means it takes up water and, upon absorption, travels directly to the liver via
the portal vein, bypassing the lymphatic system, and is burned for energy. This
metabolic pathway permits coconut oil nutrition to serve as a ready source of
energy and prevents it from accumulating as fat in body tissues.
In
addition, another one of the most exciting benefits of coconut oil nutrition is
that a coconut oil diet i.e. food cooked in coconut oil is a rich source of
fiber. It should be remembered that several scientific studies have concluded
that a consistently low intake leads to an increased risk of developing
life-threatening diseases, including obesity, abnormally high body weight,
insulin resistance diabetes, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and colon
cancer.
Other coconut oil health
benefits
Research,
studies and surveys have shown the following major benefits of cooking with
coconut oil or eating a coconut oil diet:
1- Improves nutrient
absorption
2- Helps prevent
osteoporosis
3- Boosts energy
4- Alleviates
digestive disorders
5- Assists in the
treatment of yeast (fungal infections)
6- Helps to protect
against bacterial and viral infection
7- Supports treatment
of herpes complex virus
8- Increases immunity
9- Helps prevent
hypoglycemia
10- Helps prevent
cardiovascular disease / heart disease
11- Helps prevent
cancer
12- Decreases
inflammation
13- Helps protect the
liver
Last but not least, there is
definitely a promise of fitness, quick weight loss and optimum health with the
continuous and regular use of this great oil. The effects are even increased if
coconut oil food is combined with other method of fat loss such as enhanced
physical activity, increased water intake, reduced or minimum consumption of
fatty / junk food and by choosing the most
safe and natural weight loss supplement. In fact, cooking with
coconut oil helps you lose nothing but weight.

Scale is important
There are a few points that you will need to keep in mind. First
understand that scale is generally the reduced version of what the
original will look like. The most common ones used is the HO version.
This is in the 1:87 ratio. Almost 70% of rail modelers use this. There
are several versions of this that are available such as Hon3 and Nn3.
These are narrow gauge versions. This basically means that the space
between the tracks is much less.
The reason HO is popular is because its size makes it convenient for home based layouts. Any other scale becomes too small for great models. The most common of layout space is 4' X 8' and the HO is best suited for it. There are however other scale such as the N (1:160) or O(1:48) or even G(1:24) and Z(1:220). There are several other scale available, but not always are these easily found.
If the HO is not something that works for you then the N scale is what you should consider. This is almost half the size. The challenge with the HO is actually setting it up and detailing it. While it is difficult, it is not impossible.
If you are lucky enough to have enough of outdoor space to create a railway layout then you should think of going in for larger trains on the O or G scale. These range in the 1:24 or 1:48 proportions. Detailing spectacular pass-throughs such as gardens and falls are easily done with them. Most modelers find the HO scale of 1:87 most easy to work with. They don’t take up too much of space and detailing them is the easiest.
Also you will need to settle on the theme of your model railway layout. This is the best way to able to decide on your color schemes as well as the style of your accessories. There are several themes across several time periods that you can choose from. Its easy to try and replicate any.

Telemarketing Technology Products And Services: Understanding CIOs And The IT Business
Telemarketing is a
significant way to generate leads for any type of business. It is a highly
adaptable, capable and multi-purpose means to market services or products. It
works well for all types of industry, including the technology sector.
However, many IT-focused
telemarketing campaigns fail due to several reasons. One of them is the lack of
understanding for the industry itself and the key people making the buying the decisions – the CIOs. CIOs or
CTOs are extremely busy professionals and attending to sales calls is simply
not one of their top priorities.
Here are some tips to help
salespeople, particularly telemarketers, understand what really draws the
attention of CIOs towards any kind of IT solution.
Empathize with CIOs. Telephone marketing specialists should
always empathize with them and understand their problems and issues. Easy, you
say. But just like you and me, they have work-related objectives and interests.
If they see that what you have to offer will benefit their organization and
make them the best CIO they can be, then you will definitely get their
attention and they will be willing to establish a business relationship with
the company you are calling for.
In-person meetings with
them are vital. Sales
opportunities with CIOs begin with being able to meet with them. If you are
generating IT sales leads through appointment setting, make sure that
you schedule quality face-to-face meetings so that the sales representative
will have the opportunity to effectively explain the benefits of the service or
product. While web seminars are so popular today, in-person meetings still do
the trick.
Before you call, take
time to understand their business goals and the technology they're using. CIOs simply don't have the luxury of time
to research and evaluate how the service or product you are offering can solve
their IT challenges. You have to do it for them. It will help significantly if
you research and ask them questions to find out what they need and analyze if
what you have to offer can satisfy that need.
Business intelligence. You would be surprised what a bit of
research can do. Although business intelligence should be taken care of by the
sales rep, it can do you good as a telephone marketing representative to do a
bit of your own research just so you have an idea what kind of company you are
calling, what their IT initiatives are or what kind of business environment
they have. These information can be found online for free.
Focus on one industry at
a time. Marketing
and selling to CIOs demand specialized and focused industry expertise.
Companies don't purchase technology. They purchase solutions. To be more
specific, they purchase solutions for their industry and for their
organization. Don't spread yourself too thin and call from one industry to
another. Become one with their sector. Learn as much as you can about a
particular industry so you can effectively relate the benefits of the IT
solution you are calling about to their vertical.
Be technologically
savvy. If you
are already struggling to perform the telemarketing task, how much more will
you struggle at telemarketing high-tech solutions? The reason most IT
telemarketing people fail at this job is because they simply do not have the
slightest idea what they are talking about. Technology sales are an entirely
different ball game. Generic telemarketing pitches and canned responses won't
work in marketing to CIOs. You have to speak their language and have a broad
and intimate understanding of current IT trends, the competition and their offerings.
Learn how the IT
business works. The IT
selling process involves common policies, budget, technology objectives,
interaction between business units and IT departments, etc. Talking the talk is
just part of the entire process of marketing and selling to CIOs. You have to
learn the complexities of the IT business.
IT telemarketing was
developed in order to help technology companies market their solutions more
efficiently, however being successful at marketing IT products or services over
the telephone depends on the telemarketer's understanding of the business and
the CIOs' frame of mind.

Answering Service Technology Moving at a Rapid Pace
The first answering service has very little resemblance to the high tech call centers of today. In the beginning everything was known as an answering service. Today we see operations known as contact centers, call centers, inbound and outbound telemarketing operations. The answering service industry has seen much technological advancement over recent years. In an industry where the technology moved very slowly during the first fifty years of existence, no one could have predicted the rapid pace which the industry has changed.
Telephony Advances
In the not too distant past, telephone answering services were very limited in their telephony capabilities. Most answering services needed to collocate near the telephony company's switch or POP. Each potential answering service customer needed to have a tie line in order to utilize the service. The "tie" line was a telephone line that had an extension of the phone line at the answering service. This was the only way that an office could use the service.
In the mid 1980's, the industry began to migrate to call forwarding. With the advent of call forwarding telephone answering services and their customers had much more flexibility in their relationships. Around the same time, paperless messaging technology became available. Prior to this, messages were taken in the form of handwritten messages. These handwritten messages were placed in the clients individual mailboxes. When the client needed to retrieve their messages, they would call into the answering service, where the operator would read the messages back to them.
Paperless Messaging
With Paperless messaging changed the face of answering service. Instead of having the messages written on a piece of paper, they were now inputted directly into a computer. This gave the answering service and client far more flexibility, than in the past. Message delivery options opened up as the technology allowed the answering service to deliver messages in a variety of ways. Most companies chose to have messages delivered via either fax or alpha numeric pager. An alphanumeric pager was a device that could receive written messages, much like today's text message.
These changes occurred and progressed from the mid 1980's to the early 2000's. Then the internet exploded. As internet's capabilities grew, so did the answering service's capabilities. With the ability to log directly onto a clients website, answering services could now perform nearly any task. These tasks include order taking, scheduling, CSR, live chat and email support. As the internet capabilities continue to move and progress, so does that of the answering service industry.
In almost every case, technology that would seemingly threaten the existence of the answering service has actually enhanced the services that they provide. In a world where so much is done online and through email, text messaging and social networking, a live voice is still a necessary and valuable tool. The only way that the industry can survive and continue to thrive is to embrace the very technology that could lead to its demise.

Generally there are a few options that can be used when it comes to getting liability insurance. One of the most popular choices is that of replacement value insurance. This can be a very expensive form of insurance to get, but if something were to happen to something of value the company would then be liable to replace what was missing or damaged.
There is also declared value insurance that has the client advising the value of the items in question. This in turn will have the value of the items written down so that if something were to happen to them the company would then have to pay that amount to the client. The amount is an amount that is agreed upon by both parties and put down in writing so that there can be no discrepancies later down the road if something were to happen.
There is another kind of insurance that people can opt for as well and it is based on weight. It is usually a set amount per pound per item. The way that this insurance would be applied if a claim were to be made is to multiply the weight of the damaged item to the amount that is stated in the agreement you made.
If on the day of your move you discover something that is damaged, you will need to go through the previously made list to see if that particular item was on the list. If it was then the company would have to pay the amount stated for that item that was ruined. The employee should file the claim upon his arrival at the office.
After the move is all complete, call the company the next morning to inquire about the claim you had made the day before. You may also discover that there are other damages that need to be claimed as well and this would be the perfect opportunity to do so. Make sure that you tell the person you speak with about all pertinent information regarding the item so.
When it comes to making an agreement regarding furniture removal insurance you need to make sure that you read all of the paperwork regarding the moving thoroughly. There are a lot of things that can be missing in the paperwork and the only way to be sure that everything is there is to read it all, even the fine print.
Reading is also very important at the end of the move. You need to be sure that the entire inventory that is on the form you have for all of the items that are being moved. You want to make sure that all of the things on the sheet are accounted for before signing your name on the receipt.

Machinery Transportation - Tips for Choosing the Right Transportation Team
If you’re in a business where you require interstate transportation of heavy and delicate machinery or if you’re a company which supplies others with machinery, you should know what a bother it is to find the right contractor team out there. Since the costs and the risks of damage are quite high, choosing only the best logistics company is vital for your business to grow. In the next lines we will cover the most important rules in choosing a trustworthy company. We will also go over some of the tips and warnings.
An especially busy place where Machinery Transportation takes place is in Australia and the cities of Melbourne, Perth, Victoria or Sydney.
There are hundreds if not thousands of companies out there eager to transport your machinery to their destination. Unfortunately only few of them are completely reliable and are sure to provide you with all types of quality services at a reasonable cost. Since machinery is very expensive, hard to produce and requires a lot of care to deal with you have to pay much attention to the transportation partners you choose.
A good way of finding a good and reliable company is by searching for one with a good reputation. Asking around different companies who had their machinery transported safely or just search for reviews and feedback for the company you think might provide you with quality transportation should help you find just the one you need.
A quality transportation company should provide many services to its customers, not just the transportation of goods but also the storage of goods, insurance for the loads carried, custom clearance, supervision, et cetera. A reliable company should be able to deliver your goods on-time, without any damage, time and distance not posing a problem.
Finding a company which offers you such services or even custom services is vital for a good partnership. You should check the equipment that is used in transporting your machinery, old or broken machinery might slow the transportation down or even cause damage to the load.
Experienced contractors should have their own equipment and vehicles. They should use heavy forklifts, cranes or even helicopters to transport your goods to their destination safely. You should also talk with your transportation company about insurance for the goods carried.
After choosing the right transportation provider, you need to create a project schedule for the contractor team, giving them all required information such as essential dates and locations. The logistics company should give you the option whether to transport the whole cargo or smaller parts at a time. Of course transporting the whole cargo is cheaper but also riskier since if an accident were to happen the damages would be much greater.
The cost of transporting heavy machinery depends on many things such as the time limit required and the distance until the destination. Also factors like weather or climate conditions and geological occurrences will affect the price of the transportation. Also the dimensions of the machinery and its complexity should have an effect on the price they are going to ask for. You should also make sure your contractor is going to take care of all the necessary permits and documents, if you don’t want to spend a lot of time doing it yourself. You might also need a special permit from the police.
As a conclusion, machinery transportation is a very sensitive and delicate industry and requires only the best team of contractors and the best equipment to make sure no damages will appear.

High Foreclosure Sales Help Struggling Contractors in California
There is another upside to the consistently high rate of foreclosure in California. Struggling construction contractors say they are given jobs and revenues because of the rising demand for their services. Many investors and buyers of foreclosed homes end up renovating or remodeling the exterior and interior of the foreclosure homes they purchase. This makes small and independent contractors busy these days.
Market observers assert that fixing up of foreclosed homes facilitates a welcome relief amid a depressed housing market. The contractors provide much sought-after construction services. At the same time, overall sales of stores and retailers that sell building appliances and supplies tend to rise.
Most contractors say that most of their clients are Real Estate agents. There is a need to make sure foreclosed homes are attractive enough to be purchased by potential homebuyers. Thus, agents usually decide to shoulder remodeling and renovation projects to beef up foreclosed properties that they put up for sale. Such agents also usually keep contacts and business relationships with contractors that are based in the area where the foreclosure homes are located.
In California, it is a standard that foreclosed homes by banks are sold ‘as is.’ Bidders usually are allowed to look into the properties on the exterior. They are not normally allowed to get inside. Thus, when a buyer purchases a foreclosed or repossessed home from a bank, it is more likely that he would need to spend in remodeling or renovating the interior.
The extent of construction would depend on how much work is needed and what part of the home interior would be re-phased. For instance, renovating and reconstructing an entire kitchen is common in the state, because many foreclosure homes surprisingly have code violations, wherein kitchen interiors were constructed without proper clearing and permits.
The demand for services of contractors is a welcome note for many people who need employment in the area. Observers note that many contractors employ individuals who have been laid off in their previous employments or who have not found or taken a new job recently, because of rising unemployment. Some working students are also working for such contractors.
It is expected that foreclosure in California would remain high for at least several more months. Meanwhile, contractors could expect to enjoy the numerous opportunities that come their way.

Gantt Charts As A Project Management Tool
A Gantt chart is a fantastic way for project managers to effectively show the schedules of project activities. It is extremely beneficial due to the fact that it visually displays the direction of the jobs and responsibilities in the project. This makes Gantt charts the right tool to speak the project's amount of completion to ordinary people, who will be able to quickly understand the project flow.
The person considered to be the founder of this method is H.L. Gantt (1861-1919), who first developed the chart in the 1910s. Gantt was a mechanical engineer and industrial advisor from America. He passed away in 1919, but shared with us a heritage which has been advantageous to countless projects great or small. Large-scale construction tasks like the Hoover Dam utilized Gantt charts while in its scheduling phase.
Very simple Gantt charts have rows and columns representing tasks and time accordingly. For each activity or row, a horizontal bar is found adjacent to it. The start points and end points of the horizontal bar are actually the start and end dates of that activity. The bars can also be color-coded, and will also be the progress indicators for a task. For instance, you can start off with a hollow bar, suggesting that the selected job has not yet commenced. As the project begins and advances, you can shade the hollow bar to indicate how much of the task has been finished.
More technical Gantt charts may include details about people tasked to complete specific duties, enabling the manager to monitor the performance or non-performance of his individuals. Other Gantt charts, particularly for long projects, may divide each job, specifically the longer ones into several smaller tasks, which can be included in their own little Gantt chart. Yet more complex Gantt charts might also show complex prerequisites once the need comes up.
Gantt charts have become helpful, without a doubt. Because Gantt charts fundamentally give you a top view of the entire project, it makes it possible for project managers to more or less come up with a sensible estimate of the project's duration. Since the Gantt chart contains a summary of the many necessary tasks for a project's achievement, project managers should be able to order and reorder activities in accordance with their prerequisites. In a way, Gantt charts can even offer project managers a "prediction" of what's ahead, which allows them to make the right decisions for making solutions for troubles before they come up.

Lenders Turn to Hotel Financing
Many banks now prefer to finance hotels than to provide debt to commercial Real Estate firms. According to market analysts, lenders’ incurred losses accumulated from non-performing loans to hotels was about 53% in the 12 months to September. This is the lowest compared to incurred losses from providing retail property loans (63%), industrial loans (62%), office space development funding (57%), and multifamily site constructions (61%).
An imminent recovery of the hotel lodging industry has helped overall volume of delinquencies on commercial mortgage-backed securities in the US to decrease for the very first time in September after about three years. Observers note that this revival is helping lift the values of hotel properties. It also entices banks to rework current or existing loans and convince hotels to apply for new ones.
Analysts assert that it is a particularly ideal time to lend money to the hotel sector. They add that lenders could be sure about the yields they could generate and they may not worry about hotels’ abilities to repay debts due to the sector’s rising performance. Hotel occupancy across the top 25 metropolitan areas in the US jumped to 65% in the 12 months ending September compared to about 61% in the same period in the preceding year. Meanwhile, the industry’s revenue for every available room climbed 6.3% in the period to $75.79. Figures indicate that the hotel sector is rising.
JP Morgan Chase & Co has announced plans to provide more loans to hotels amid strengthening revenue and occupancy data across the US. The New York-based lender said it has not deviated from hotel lending. The company has invested up to $8.4 billion in the 12 months to September in providing loans that are tied to lodging, along with homebuilding, Real Estate investment trusts, and other properties. The figure compares to about $11.2 billion in the preceding 12 months.
For its part, Wells Fargo has released a combined $6.5 billion in loans tied to motels and hotels in the same period. The figure was up compared to $6.4 billion it invested in the same sector in the preceding year. As of September 30, the bank’s commercial property portfolio was at $126.7 billion, about 17% of its overall loans provided.
Some market analysts emphasize that hotels have the greatest advantage. That is because the businesses could easily and quickly bolster rental rates to underpin an improving economy while tenants prefer to get into multi-year lease agreements.

An imminent recovery of the hotel lodging industry has helped overall volume of delinquencies on commercial mortgage-backed securities in the US to decrease for the very first time in September after about three years. Observers note that this revival is helping lift the values of hotel properties. It also entices banks to rework current or existing loans and convince hotels to apply for new ones.
Analysts assert that it is a particularly ideal time to lend money to the hotel sector. They add that lenders could be sure about the yields they could generate and they may not worry about hotels’ abilities to repay debts due to the sector’s rising performance. Hotel occupancy across the top 25 metropolitan areas in the US jumped to 65% in the 12 months ending September compared to about 61% in the same period in the preceding year. Meanwhile, the industry’s revenue for every available room climbed 6.3% in the period to $75.79. Figures indicate that the hotel sector is rising.
JP Morgan Chase & Co has announced plans to provide more loans to hotels amid strengthening revenue and occupancy data across the US. The New York-based lender said it has not deviated from hotel lending. The company has invested up to $8.4 billion in the 12 months to September in providing loans that are tied to lodging, along with homebuilding, Real Estate investment trusts, and other properties.

Why Online Shopping So Popular?
Today, more and more people like to buy goods from online shops, this trend has made the online shopping be more and more popular. Here are some reasons why people are so like online shopping.
1.The first and most popular reason of liking shop online is the convenience - you can shop 24 hours a day 7 days a week if you are free. Online shopping allows anyone to shop at a time that suits them. This is a huge advantage for many people such as those who have to work during shop opening hours, people who have mobility or transport problems that make getting to the shops difficult, even couples who work different hours and find it difficult to shop together.
2.Another major advantage of shopping online is the huge numbers of online retailers; you will find a lot of websites that stock the product you are interested in buying and will be able to compare prices and different products or models at all of these places easily and quickly. To do the same amount of comparison shopping in the real world would involve spending hours if not days traveling from one store to another. Shopping online you can also easily purchase products from overseas so that you not only have even more choice but can make additional savings if the exchange rate is favorable.
3.The comfort and security of shopping from home is also a reason online shopping has increased in popularity. Shopping online does not expose you to the extremes of weather - it will not rain or snow on you in your lounge room. You are in a comfortable and familiar environment, you do not have to physically travel to a town or section of a city that you are unfamiliar with or uncomfortable about. Many people do not like crowds and avoid large cities and large stores for this reason; there are no crowds or queues shopping online. The other plus is that you do not incur any traveling expenses such as petrol or bus fares to do you're shopping.
4.The ability to locate and purchase goods from all over the world can be a huge advantage for collectors or people who are trying to purchase hard to get items. No matter what you are trying to find; a CD released twenty years ago, a specialist collectible or antique or even an original part for a vintage car, to give a few examples you can rest assured that someone somewhere in the world will have it for sale on the internet or will be able to source it for you. Many people who have purchased collectibles and other valuables from overseas have also found that these articles can occasionally be purchased at bargain prices as they are not as collectible or valuable in that location, and the seller does not appreciate the item's value in the UK. Trying to source and purchase these items in real world stores can be extremely difficult, time consuming and very expensive compared to real world stores.

Use of Solar Heater to Heat Homes and Offices
The invention of solar heater is considered an important achievement in the history of mankind. There are many benefits of using solar energy for various heating purposes. These heaters are used in many countries all over the world for both domestic as well as commercial purposes. These heating systems make optimum use of the sun’s energy and provide powerful systems that help in heating homes, offices and other centres.
Basic Benefits of Using Solar Heater
There are many advantages of using these heating systems and some of the major benefits include:
Reliable and efficient: solar heater can be used for heating pools and homes of any size. These heating systems are truly efficient and reliable just as electrical heaters.
Saves electricity and power consumption: another advantage of using these heaters is that it helps to reduce power consumption and saves electricity.
Environment friendly: the solar heater collects and utilizes the sun’s energy for heating purposes. Therefore it does not emit any poisonous gas into the atmosphere in the process of heating.
Today majority of the homes, offices and buildings make use of solar heater for heating purposes. It is extensively used in countries with colder climates as it is cost efficient and effective in many ways. These heating systems are also used for heating water for domestic as well as commercial purposes.
There are mainly two types of heating systems- the active and the passive heating systems. The active heating system is more effective and used in most of the places to obtain an efficient heating process. These systems make use of solar panels which collect the solar energy and transfer it through pipes to heat the entire home or commercial building.
The passive heating systems are used for heating water and not suitable for heating the entire home. Heat is transferred through walls and roofs to obtain hot water which is used for domestic purposes.
Solar Heating Systems- Incomparable Efficiency
Solar heater includes thin panels which trap the solar energy and these panels are usually placed on roof tops for best results. The panel has a number of coils which is heated when exposed to the sun rays. The surrounding air near the coil becomes hot and it is pushed into homes through specially designed vents, thereby heating the entire home effectively.
Another efficient variety includes the concentrating collector which has panels following the rays of the sun. It is more efficient than the other heating systems as it collects maximum amount of the sun rays.
A solar heater can be installed in homes and other places on the basis of certain factors. The climatic conditions of the place, availability of solar energy, size of your home, location of the place and so forth. Bigger solar panels are essential for larger homes as it requires more heating capacity to heat the entire home. So it is important to choose panels according to the size of your home.

The Shattering of the Crystal Cathedral
Just weeks ago the leadership of the Crystal Cathedral, a Christian ministry founded by Robert H. Schuller back in the 60s, filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection in the California courts. The leadership of the church, which broadcasts every Sunday morning to over a million people worldwide, has claimed that the financial troubles resulted from the economic challenge of the past two years and the inability of the Church to respond with enough budget cuts fast enough. It is more likely, however, that the very ugly succession fiasco that occurred within the leadership in 2008 is the cause of the financial difficulties and the leadership vacuum in the church.
Schuller began his unique ministry in the 1960s, preaching to a congregation that gathered in at an old drive-In movie theater. His preaching infused middle-of-the-road mainline Christianity with the core of Norman Vincent Peale’s “Power of Positive Thinking.” It was the right message at the right time. By 1970, Schuller’s worship services were being broadcast on television. The size of his ministry peaked in the 1980s, when he had about two million viewers around the world. Today, the audience is admitted to have shrunk by half.
The perfect storm that might bring down this house of glass began to form about ten years ago. Other ministers throughout the country have built megachurches on a different blend of Christianity and self help messages. Their great popularity indicated a shift in the interests of the audience and the answers they wanted to hear. As this trend built a good head of steam, contributions to the Schuller ministry, attendance at the Crystal Cathedral and the number of television viewers began a slow decline.
According to ABC News, the church now has a $55 million budget deficit and a 27% drop in revenue over the last two years. Just Saturday, The Christian Post noted that “The U.S. Trustee Program and creditors are objecting to salaries given out by the Crystal Cathedral to several employees . . . . “ The Schuller family also decided to cut their own salaries in half for an unspecified period of time.
Following the pattern of most other television evangelists, Schuller (who is 84) announced that his son, Robert A. Schuller would take charge of the church and would be the primary preacher on the “Hour of Power.” It was clear to all watchers that the senior Schuller had been grooming his son to replace him. Bit according to a recent article in The New York Times, church insiders revealed that the elder Schuller and his wife were not sure their son could measure up to the job.
The church was rocked and a few of the panes of glass in the cathedral were shattered when the elder Schuller announced from the pulpit of the Crystal Cathedral in July 2008 that due to a difference of opinion about the direction the church should go in the future, he had fired his son and that other members of the family would assume leadership of the church.
The younger Schuller was an adequate speaker by the standards of most. His personality was different from his father’s charismatic appeal. He did not have – or did not cultivate – his father’s deep and resonant voice or his emotive style of dramatic reading from the Bible and preaching. This presumably led his sisters and brothers-in-law to claim that his preaching was “not anointed” (whatever that means today) and to remove him from preaching responsibilities after just two years.
The real reason the younger Mr. Schuller was ousted appears to lie in the other changes he wanted to make. He also tried to institute changes that would put the ministry under the kind of governance practiced by most successful nonprofit agencies. The changes included use of new technologies to expand the ministry, changes in the message and the nature of the program to make it more appealing to a younger audience (the average viewer today is a 53 year-old woman), and to “remove anyone with a conflict of interest from the board of directors” (according to The New York Times).
Changes in the technologies used to reach a larger audience and adjustments to the message probably had less to do with the events that followed than the significant governance changes. If “good governance” had been put in place, no one who was an employee of the church would be able to sit on the board (thus avoiding conflicts of interest). This would have limited the control and influence of some of his sisters, his parents, and his brothers-in-law or their ability to earn their living from the church.
Many viewers, including long-standing viewers, were horrified by the events. Many stopped watching “Hour of Power” and many stopped sending money The preaching was handed over to a series of people with vastly different messages for about 18 months. During this time there was a clear leadership gap at the top of the church and revenues and attendance in the Crystal Cathedral continued to decline.
Finally, in 2010, Sheila Schuller Coleman (daughter of Robert H. Schuller and sister of Robert A. Schuller) was designated as the Senior Pastor and primary preacher for the ministry. According to one thirty-year viewer, the choir has dwindled to nothing (this due to the inability of the ministry to continue to pay professional choir members), there are more and more empty pews every Sunday, and Sheila Schuller Coleman does not know how to preach. She is insulting,” says this former viewer. “It sounds like she is talking to a bunch of pre-school children.”
Today, the continuing decline in contributions and attendance, as well as the loss of a significant part of the television audience (at least in the U.S.) combined with the actions of long-standing creditors who are suing for past-due payments, points to a loss of confidence in the leadership and the future direction the church. What went wrong? How could a succession planned for more than 50 years fall apart so quickly and create such a public scandal?
- The senior Mr. Schuller did not demonstrate sufficient confidence in his son during the transition to provide the support needed.
- The transition itself was botched.
- The younger Mr. Schuller assumed leadership in a very difficult time – declining revenue, loss of television stations and audience, declining membership and attendance, and economic difficulties. None of these problems occurred under his leadership.
- The change in governance should have been handled by the Senior Mr. Schuller before the transition occurred – his endorsement would have made the bitter pill easier to swallow.
- There was apparently no written succession plan and no statement of the qualifications necessary for anyone to become senior pastor.
- The leadership of the church should have been reclaimed by the senior Mr. Schuller in the aftermath of the coup.
- The leadership gap was allowed to continue for too long, causing creditors and followers to lose confidence in the ministry.
- Other financial troubles are likely to be ahead in light of recent revelations about how salaries are paid in order to avoid income taxes.
- More former followers and financial supporters are likely to leave in light of the recent revelations of the details of the coup.
- Asking people to double-tithe (20%of income) to save your sinking ship in a time of record unemployment and global economic crisis smacks of an ego gone wild or losing touch with reality.
- If the senior Mr. Schuller had such long-term doubts about the ability of his son and chosen successor to lead the church, why was there no one else waiting in the wings?
- Why, if his son was not adequate for the job, was a successor not named who was not a member of the family?
While the financial struggles of this church appear to be many years in the making, the leadership vacuum is not.. The weakness that has resulted from the succession fiasco is clearly related to the widespread loss of confidence and trust of creditors and followers. Many followers were disenchanted by the public and ugly leadership coup. Some are disturbed that the current situation is looking more and more like a man trying to save a family dynasty than a minister trying to preserve the faith and ministry of a church. Many who expected the church to die slowly now expect the financial troubles to destroy it quickly.
As the world watches more and more of the 10,664 windows of the Crystal Cathedral shatter, many family-owned businesses are wondering if the same thing could happen to them. The answer is a reverberating “yes.” If you are the owner or the CEO of a family-owned business or any business that is privately-owned or partner-owned, and you do not have a written (and funded) succession and transition plan, this kind of mess could happen to you.
