The Bucs position battle might be over before it started

As 2012 NFL season begins on September 6, NFL Betting enthusiasts are eager to watch the rookies. This comfort sleeping mats is because the rookies have the ability to make or break the team. They know it’s too early to say for it is only the first half-week of the training camp. But they are excited to see which rookies are getting some heat up. Our radar got some information for me and as of the moment, here are some rookies that have stand out early in the training camp.Doug Martin Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The Bucs position battle might be over before it started. LeGarrette Blount has been used sparingly.

Everyone from the ball boy to the head coach to the beat writers are agog over Martin's ability. He may garner the starting role in Tampa Bay and get the lion's share of catches and carries out of the backfield for new coach Greg Schiano. NFL betting enthusiasts can't wait to see this kid on the field during the regular season.Dont'a Hightower New England Patriots: Bill Belichick has lavished praise on Hightower. The last time we saw him praise a rookie this much was Jerod Mayo and that worked out well. Hightower is very intelligent and versatile, two qualities Belichick prizes most. Hightower should start right away and might make a quicker impact than buzzier rookie Chandler Jones. He knows what defense is and what Patriots lacked in last year. So all of a sudden, they get one of the best linebackers in this draft to go with one of the best pass rushers.Brandon Bolden New England Patriots: Running back certainly is a position where you can make a quick impact. Bolden consistently has made noise early in camp. Some have suggested he looks more explosive than last year's second-round draft pick Shane Vereen.

The 5'11", 215-pound halfback is looking forward to be the next Ben Green-EllisAlshon Jeffrey Chicago Bears: The Chicago Sun-Times reports the big-bodied rookie is "catching everything in sight" and "looking like he's done this before." If that continues, he should wind up being a bigger part of the offense than Devin Hester. Jeffrey also uses his size  to make plays on the ball downfield. Has a massive pair of hands to go with his long arms and is an elite receiver once the ball is in the air. He has the anticipation and jumping ability to high point the ball over nearly any corner he faces.Jonathan Grimes Houston Texans running back: Texans coaches love undrafted rookie running back Grimes, according to the Houston Chronicle. That's a nugget for fantasy owners to file away just in case. A punishing, downhill runner who runs bigger than his size. He isn’t very elusive in the open field, but he makes up for that with his tremendous burst. In fact, Grimes can best be described as a no-nonsense runner who comes straight at you with breakaway speed. Sure he’ll earn his playing time for the Texans knows what to do with those undrafted runners.NFL Season Opening is just around the corner. Can these prized rookies make an impact on their respective teams? Will they be a major factor in NFL betting? Find more info at sportsbook.ag

A schedule of which distributor personnel will attend

A schedule of which distributor personnel will attend

Those that require distributor plans often struggle--either to convince distributors to self inflating sleeping pad create high-quality plans or to assure that the plans are followed.To understand a typical distributor planning process, Smart Business spoke with Bob Segal, a Principal at Frank Lynn & Associates.Why should a manufacturer require its distributors to create written plans?The success of many manufacturers hinges on the actions of tens or even hundreds of independent, mostly small, distributors. However, each distributor has different customer targets, different product mixes, and different sales and technical skills. Many lack strategic planning skills and marketing departments. As independent businesses, they're free to do what they want.A manufacturer can hope for the best or use distributor plans to gain greater control over its distribution destiny.Is it realistic to expect or require plans from each distributor?No. Most manufacturers don't have the capacity to handle hundreds of individual plans. Furthermore, most manufacturers experience the 80:20 rule, where 80 percent of their revenue comes from 20 percent of their channel partners.

At a minimum, suppliers should require plans from key partners.Not all manufacturers have the clout to demand distributors create a plan. A small company selling through Wal-Mart might face an uphill battle to get a detailed, written plan. Still, vendors should "think big" and not retreat unless facing a true negotiating mismatch. Even in those cases, scale back the scope of the planning request instead of giving up altogether.What should be included in a distributor's plan?Obviously, these plans should have highly customized content. However, the typical items a manufacturer should expect, or even require, in a distributor plan might include:Business background - a short strategy statement, review of market conditions, a competitive summary and a list of the distributor's key financial, sales and technical objectivesProduct/services summary - a list of (existing/future) services the distributor provides and complementary product lines carriedCustomer mix - sales by market segment; a list of key/major accountsMarketing plan - a listing of specific marketing activities including start and end dates, people assigned and resources required (of the distributor and of your company), covering trade shows, seminars, mailings, Web site, publications, advertising, etc.

Training/personnel plan - a schedule of which distributor personnel will attend what training sessions (yours or third party) over the next year; hiring plans that will affect your product lineSales plan - major/key account activities, joint sales expectations, telemarketing plansLogistics plan - warehouse/technology investmentsFinancial plan - agreement on sales targets, forecasting frequency, etc.How big do these plans get?First, it's often helpful for the manufacturer to create a template. It's a lot easier for a distributor to fill in a formatted form than to create a plan from scratch. Furthermore, this assures the manufacturer it will get the type of information it seeks (in a consistent format).For a major supplier, distributors often want to dedicate significant time to create a comprehensive plan. Sometimes, the document becomes the overall strategic plan for the distributor. Regardless, most plans consist of two to three pages of text with five or six pages of tables or forms. Distributors often attach appendices with sales spreadsheets, forecasts, trade show listings, etc.What is the role of the manufacturer's channel sales team in the planning process?The channel managers should establish an annual planning calendar with annual account plans completed in December; formal, two-way reviews each quarter and informal updates monthly. Provided with a template, distributors--not the account managers--should write the business plans. The account managers can add commitments from their company to the plan during the annual planning meeting.The annual meeting should take place between the account manager and the owner or senior executive from the distributor. The actual meeting, to review last year's results and revise the plan for next year, will likely require two to four hours. In preparation, the account manager should review, in detail, the distributor's sales history, local market trends/conditions, the manufacturers' fulfillment of past commitments, new product plans, etc

The easiest and quickest time is fly by a helicopter and land

The easiest and quickest time is fly by a helicopter and land

Driving to Salleri and Jiri then trek to here takes about 2 weeks which is a long Everest base camp trek. Flying to Lukla and trek 8 days is another way to double size sleeping pads reach the base camp. The easiest and quickest time is fly by a helicopter and land. The people who have a long holiday and like to explore more days out of the city, the long trek is good. More than 90% of trekkers fly to Lukla and walk all the way to this place. The last lodges available are Gorakshep so visitors seep in Gorakshep and hike to the base camp which takes 4-5 hours both ways.Can I see Everest from the base campWe only feel proud that visited the bottom of the highest mountain in the world but cannot see the Everest from here. We only are very close to the Khumbu icefall and the Khumbu glacier. Mountains like Nuptse, Lho-La, Khumbutse, Lingtren, Pumori, and the Tibetan mountain Changgatse can be seen with the sign on the rock written. Kalapatthar is the best place to see stunning Everest Himalaya all-around 360 degrees.Best time to visitLate September to mid-December and March to May are the best timings to visit this place. Compare to the autumn, spring is warmer for this trek. Winter is not bad for the view but it will be freezing cold up here. I don't recommend going here during the monsoon which is June to beginning September.How safe it is to visit?It depends on the condition of visitors.

Normally more than 80 % of visitors have no problem but some may suffer from acute mountain sickness. It is physically challenged for everyone and the trail is not very clear. There are lots of rocks along the way to Everest base camp from Gorakshep. If there is more snow, it may be more difficult to walk. Late autumn and winter are windy so you need to have warm and windproof clothing. Just about 15 minutes before reaching the base camp, the stones fall from the side of the trail so need to walk carefully near to the landslide area.Is a guide compulsory?The smartest idea is taking a guide but if you are in the high season, there are hundreds of visitors so you can follow to the other. If you have a guide to lead you, you will not be in pressure and walk freely but if you are following to the other, you sometimes walk faster than other and miss the trail and if you are slower than the other may not wait for you to help. The base camp has lots of ice underneath so it melts every year and changes the trail somewhere. I suggest having an experienced guide to lead.Can I sleep at the base camp?There are no lodges to sleep and can't get food. The climbers sleep here with good equipment and plenty of food during their expedition time.

If you are a member of the expedition, you can sleep here but if you are a trekker, you need to have a waterproof tent, warm wearing equipment, own food, comfortable mattress, and sleeping bag. I advise not to try to sleep here if you are alone. It is better to stay at the Gorakshep and hike to base camp and come back to the lodge.After visiting at the world's famous place, you then trek back to Lukla passing Pheriche, Tengboche, Namche, and other villages and fly back to Kathmandu with lots of nice memories from Everest or pass a hill Cho- La and see the Gokyo lakes and the more.
