ARRIVA Buses Wales has reacted to soaring petrol prices by launching an online fuel calculator which lets motorists see if they can save money on their journeys by taking the bus.
Arriva’s fuel calculator compares fuel costs to buying a 4- Weekly Saver ticket. The calculator also shows how much CO[sup 2] a driver would save by leaving their car at home and catching the bus instead.
Nick Gordon, marketing manager for Arriva Buses Wales, said: “The calculator on our website will be a really useful tool for drivers in Cardigan and Carmarthen, fed up with paying large bills at the petrol pumps. We believe many of them will be amazed by how much they could save if they caught the bus.”

A Dundee gaming company is vying to become the first in Scotland to crack social gaming by releasing a new football game for Facebook.
Soccer Tycoon, which will be fully released by the end of the month, is the product of 18 months of development by Dynamo Games.
With an eye to the all-important US market and targeting more than a million users, the game enables players to build a stadium, watch games, hire and fire managers and sell everything from hotdogs to popcorn while building a world-class team.
Soccer Tycoon will follow the “freemium” business model of most Facebook games, where users play for free but are offered various add-ons to improve their performance that can be bought more quickly using real money.
Where big sites like Twitter and Spotify have been better at attracting users than monetising them, this has meant this fast- growing new niche has serious financial potential.
Brian McNicoll, managing director of Dynamo, said: “If you look at FarmVille, which has 63.5 million monthly users developing farms, the rough estimate is that 3% to 5% of players are paying customers. Each customer spends $1 a month, so it can easily add up.”
This success has enabled US-based Zynga, publisher of FarmVille and other titles like Cafe World and Mafia Wars, to build a $1 billion-plus company in a relatively short space of time. Of the 200 million Facebook users that are playing games regularly, Zynga boasts four of the top five games on the network.
“If you release to a hundred people, within a few weeks there could be hundreds of thousands. It’s crazy,” said MacNicoll.
“It’s the first time that a gaming platform has opened up gaming to the masses. Everybody has got a computer and everybody can get access to the internet.”
The drawback for a company like Dynamo, which has grown from three founding members to 15 in six years on the back of a rolling contract to make the best-selling Championship Manager for mobile phones, is it does not have the financial muscle of the market leaders.
“Zynga uses a lot of Facebook advertising and cross-promotion between its games, but because this is our first game we can’t do that

Will the tax reform plan help end the pain in the real estate market?
Not likely, said Palm Beach County Property Appraiser Gary Nikolits.
Last week, Nikolits addressed the first meeting of the Master Brokers Forum in Palm Beach County, held at The Resort on Singer Island. The Master Brokers Forum, already active in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, consists of Realtors producing $5 million a year in sales during the past five years. In other words, people with a dog in this real estate tax fight.
The standing-room-only crowd of nearly 100 listened carefully to a panel discussion of real estate, taxes and insurance. But when Nikolits told the group that the Florida Legislature’s tax reform measure fell short, Nikolits was greeted with applause, or as he put it, “hoots and hollers.”
Why? Because Nikolits stated what is becoming increasingly obvious: The proposed tax reform won’t help all taxpayers and therefore won’t do much to lift the sagging real estate market.
The reform fails to address the need for “portability,” meaning people cannot bring their Save our Homes exemption with them to another property. Nikolits said the reform plan also still keeps the biggest tax burden on those without Save Our Homes, such as snowbirds who have second houses in Florida.
“The same basic problem is that not everybody is still being treated the same,” Nikolits said Wednesday, the day after the meeting. “I don’t see where you’ve done anything for tax reform.”
Has Dr. Oz lost hope he will find his Emerald City in Palm Beach Gardens?
Word is star cardiologist Mehmet Oz is frustrated by the slow pace of efforts to find and build a Palm Beach County campus for his nonprofit foundation.
In January, the telegenic surgeon and frequent Oprah guest announced a planned opening of his Foundation for the Advancement of Cardiac Therapies. The center would combine traditional medicine with alternative therapies, such as acupuncture.
At the time, Oz said he picked Palm Beach Gardens because his wife’s family has a home here and because there are lots of rich donors in the area. He also cited pledges by Palm Beach Gardens officials to ease regulatory obstacles for scientific organizations.
But in the five months since that optimistic announcement was made, finding a site has proved easier said than done.
Sources say Oz has been looking at tracts of around 14 acres. Unfortunately, raw land takes time to develop. Traffic, for instance, needs to be studied and approved as part of a routine site plan. The approval process can take months. Sources say the process is more involved than the can-do cardiologist thought and he’s getting frustrated.
An Oz rep didn’t return repeated phone calls for comment, but real estate sources in the know spoke up.
“He’s having to jump over all these hurdles,” said one source who requested anonymity. “I’d say he’s not coming to this area.”
Not true, said Kelly Smallridge of the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County.
“What is true is that the particular piece of land under negotiation is giving them more problems than they thought,” Smallridge said. “There are timing challenges. People don’t realize how long it takes.”
Smallridge said she’s still optimistic Oz will come to town. So click your heels and stay tuned.
When times are good in the real estate business, information flows. When times are not so good, well, details can be hard to come by.
Take the status of the Trump Tower Palm Beach condo planned for West Palm Beach. Barbara Salk of Related Group of Miami said the project had a “very successful launch” Memorial Day weekend. That was the date set to convert refundable reservations into firm contracts, including 10 percent deposits.
With units priced between $900,000 and $2.5 million, the money adds up quickly. “We wrote up $60 to $70 million” in sales, Salk said.
How many units is that, exactly? Salk hedged, saying Trump Tower “was nearing” sales of 45 percent of its units. In other words, about 67 of 150 units sold.
It’s a respectable showing but not the mark developers Donald Trump and Jorge Perez wanted to hit. Salk said they were aiming for closer to 60 percent of the project sold, or about 90 units

Dear Friend,
Who else wants to earn affiliate commissions just from folks VISITING your blog, and not clicking on a thing?
The perfect plugin to use on Google “Sniper” sites or Clickbank product review blogs…. It seems like everyone and their brother is selling
a course on how to use WordPress blogs to promote affiliate products…
But there’s a reason for that, it’s no secret, Google loves WordPress. Any Internet marketing newbie can build these blogs, and combined with some common SEO plugins, can achieve high rankings in Google for the keywords their blog is targeting.
Typically these keywords contain the Clickbank products name and commonly used search terms such as “bonus”, “review”, “scam”, and so on… But what happens when the person actually gets to your blog and starts reading the content?
Ever wonder why Gurus TOTALLY dominate launches?
One of the reasons is they “drop cookies” when folks visit their blogs.
How do you actually make money with these things? The person visiting your blog must click on your affiliate link and buy the product. Sounds simple enough…
But What If The Person Never Clicks On Your Affiliate Link?
Instead they go to Google and conduct a search for the product…
They find the vendors sales page… THEN buy the product.
You’re out that commssion… no money for you… better luck next time.
All the work you did crafting your presell post…
All the time you spent building backlinks and writing articles has just been wasted.
You may think, “that’s not a big deal… what’s a $30 commission”?
I’ll “get” the next person that comes to my blog…
But what if this keeps happening over and over again… without you even knowing it?
You probably WON’T know it… it’s probably happening right now.
I don’t have to tell you, those $30 commissions really start to add up…
Especially when your blog starts receiving some steady traffic.
How much money are you leaving on the table?
The simple solution to solving this problem?
“Wow! What a great plug-in! Really!! It was super easy to install, set up, and use. And all the links work perfectly, just as you said. Many thanks,Alex

For example, if there is a drought and wheat does poorly, the price of wheat goes up. This may cause the price of wheat products to go up.
If interest rates increase, inflation can also occur. The cost to borrow money goes up for businesses, increasing their cost and so on. However, higher interest rates also encourage people to save more and spend less, shortening demand and lowering prices on items.
For the most part, steady inflation is not seen on a day-to-day basis. You usually only see it when you look back. I remember that 85 cent gasoline in high school.
