Experience Vietnam – Timeless Charm in the Lap of Luxury

Leave a comment

Luxury Travel Ltd to promote timeless charm of Vietnam in 18 days.

Hanoi, Vietnam, March 3, 2012 — Travelers rave about Vietnam’s incredibly friendly people, 54 unique ethnic minorities, and beautiful landscapes. http://www.luxurytravelvietnam.com/EN/Vietnam_tours/Culturetours/The-best-of-the-best-Vietnam-Holiday-18days.htm

In the north, wander through the charming colonial boulevards of Hanoi. The sofitel Legend Metrople Hanoi Hotel rivals the finest hotels you find anywhere, and the restaurants and eateries will delight your senses. Enjoy the finest cuisine at the award-winning Hanoi Press Club, Bobby Chin, Wild Rice or the elegant Mandarin Restaurant in the West Lake area. Hanoi is one big marketplace and with the traffic full of families piled onto motorbikes it’s hard to imagine anybody stays at home. Meanwhile, the sensuous, serene scenery of Halong Bay is another absolute must-see in the north and a comfortable an overnight cruise or a day trip from Hanoi.

Any trip to central Vietnam would not be complete without exploring the majesty of Hue, the former imperial capital and a quiet city renowned for the magnificent architecture of its citadel, palaces, royal tombs, pagodas and temples, built under the Nguyen Dynasty on the banks of Perfume River.

Hue is less hectic than Hanoi but its back roads are full of bustle and it is a pleasure getting lost among the bread shops and pagodas.

The atmospheric Hoian, south of Hue, is a Unesco World Heritage site and a river front port town crammed with historic homes, tiny museums, stylish cafes and bustling silk and fish markets. Do not forget the beautiful Cua Dai Beach or Cu Lao Cham Islands.

Next fly to the resort town of Nha Trang to spend several days in a secluded private villa overlooking beautiful Ninh Van Bay at Six Senses Nha Trang. Snorkel or dive among the coral reefs in crystal blue waters, hike along the nature trails, cool off in your private plunge pool, indulge in spa treatments or just relax on the white sand beach and admire the unspoiled mountain and sea views.

Farther south, entertain your senses in Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City. This is a metropolis as ripe with life as Hanoi. It is every bit the intoxicating Indochina of the imagination. The city is brimming with energy and the nearby countryside is painted with classic Asian images and an overall atmosphere of true warmth. Exploring the Mekong Delta region is also an essential part of any holiday in Vietnam. Start at Cai Be on the Cai Be Princess private sampan. Lunch is served at a family estate in the delta, with a stop at Vinh Long before returning to Saigon.

Lineworkers from FPL and Other Utilities Honored By State

Leave a comment

“The hardworking men and women of Florida who risk their lives daily in extremely dangerous situations to ensure the reliable delivery of electric energy to all citizens of the state are most deserving of gratitude, appreciation and honor,” said State Rep. Seth McKeel of Lakeland, reading from an honorary resolution that designated August 26 as “Lineworker Appreciation Day” in the State of Florida.

Tallahassee, Fla. – March 2, 2012 — Judging from the scene outside the Florida Capitol on March 2, 2012, you might have thought that lawmakers were facing a serious power outage – with bucket trucks and hard hat-clad lineworkers gathered by the dozens. But quite the contrary, lawmakers had invited utility employees from across the state, including many from Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) to recognize them for their outstanding service.

“The hardworking men and women of Florida who risk their lives daily in extremely dangerous situations to ensure the reliable delivery of electric energy to all citizens of the state are most deserving of gratitude, appreciation and honor,” said State Rep. Seth McKeel of Lakeland, reading from an honorary resolution that designated August 26 as “Lineworker Appreciation Day” in the State of Florida.

McKeel was motivated by Tracy Moore, wife of former Lakeland Electric Lineman Marc Moore, who died in an unfortunate accident several years ago. Tracy has been working to keep her husband’s memory alive by honoring lineworkers who respond to emergencies and often work in harm’s way to restore power for Floridians.

Lineworkers from many Florida utilities converged on Tallahassee for the announcement. FPL was represented by five North Florida employees – Distribution Supervisor Danny Dean, Sr. Line Specialist Bob Harrison and Restoration Specialists Corey Koshinski, Wes Richardson and Otis Smith.

“We came to show support and respect for our colleagues across the state,” said Dean. “While safety is always our top priority, there’s always an element of risk involved in our jobs, but we take a great deal of pride in serving the people of Florida. It’s an honor to be recognized for the work that we do.”

The line specialists were joined by several members of FPL’s Tallahassee office, who turned out to support their fellow employees.

“It’s important for all of us to honor the vital work that our line specialists perform every day to ensure our customers have safe, affordable, reliable electricity,” said Paul Hamilton, FPL Vice President of State Legislative Affairs. “They’ve got tough jobs, and we’re proud that the state is recognizing the work they do.”

About Florida Power & Light Company
Florida Power & Light Company is the largest electric utility in Florida and one of the largest rate-regulated utilities in the United States. FPL serves 4.5 million customer accounts in Florida and is a leading employer in the state with approximately 10,000 employees.

Bill Ringle Leads AskBillRingle.com Forum on Ways to Improve Cashflow

Leave a comment

AskBillRingle.com’s open conference call for entrepreneurs and business owners on March 1, 2012 will address the subject “Ways to Improve Cashflow.”

Philadelphia, PA, March 02, 2012 – Nationally known CEO coach Bill Ringle will lead this month’s AskBillRingle.com forum, “Ways to Improve Cashflow,” on Thursday, March 1, at 4:00pm ET. Good cashflow is essential to any successful business, but easily becomes a black hole for time and resources when improperly managed.

Ringle will describe five symptoms that your business has cash flow problems and provide twelve concrete ideas to improve your cash flow. He’ll also discuss how to identify the main causes of delayed payments, ways to be braver asking for payments, and outsourcing collections when all else fails.

“Generating business, operating a business, and growing a business all depend on having funds to spend and invest. Small business owners tell me that they are especially squeezed in a tight economy by delayed payments on one level and rigid credit ceilings on another level, and if you only look at your finances from those two sources, you can find yourself in trouble very quickly,” explains Bill Ringle. “Over the years, my clients have taught me a wide range of new perspectives to identify, anticipate, and ultimately generate win-win situations from no-win situations related to cash flow issues, and that’s what I’ll be sharing on this AskBillRingle call.”

AskBillRingle.com gives business owners and entrepreneurs answers to their most pressing business growth questions. The website and accompanying conference calls focus on a different subject each month, and give business owners unprecedented access to Ringle’s expertise, experience, and advice. April’s topic, “Standing Out From the Crowd,” will provide unique tips for grabbing customers’ attention and increasing visibility in your niche.

Bill Ringle works with entrepreneurs and executives who want to overcome the five big challenges to business growth so that they can run profitable and rewarding businesses rather than become stuck and overwhelmed in unfulfilling and draining roles. He has worked on four continents, is the author of four business books, and inspires and educates thousands of business leaders each year through his speaking, coaching, interactive programs, and educational products.
