A NON-TRADITIONAL APPROACH TO BUSINESS COLLECTIONS

Business-to-business debts require special, focused expertise and finesse... and the selection of your commercial collection service is an important decision. It revolves around Service, Trust and Recovery. Rates are important, and recovery is the objective (the bottom line)... but there is more to it.

The company you choose will be handling your money, talking to your customers, and representing you in the marketplace. You want your money as soon as possible – but you don’t want to lose clients.

At Arsenal Business Collections (ABC), you’re never out-of-pocket for our services. We collect (at prearranged terms) and when – and only when – we succeed (i.e., once we collect money owed to you), do we get paid. There is no fee UNLESS and UNTIL we collect!

Our payment is contingent upon your recovery – so our success is integrally tied to yours.

As a privately-owned company, we make decisions based on what is best for clients, not shareholders or outside investors. Our focus is exclusively on improving your bottom line, and we have the knowledge and experience to deliver exceptional results.

Nutria are relatively big rodents that grow to between 17 and 25 inches from head to rump— about the same size as a raccoon. Their tail adds another 10 to 16 inches (and they weigh between 15 and 22 pounds. They look like a cross between a small beaver and a giant rat, with two large, orange front teeth and long, rounded tails.

*LAWN BOWLING is a game that’s very common across the UK and in other parts of the world; it is similar to the Italian game of “Bocce.” In both games, you attempt to get your ball (or ‘bowl’) as close to the Jack (also known as a pallino in Bocce) as possible. The biggest difference between the two is the balls. In Bocce, the balls are totally round; a lawn bowl is not completely round, and it’s weighted in a way that requires it to travel in a curved path. The lawn ball is also bigger than the ball used in Bocce.

Australia

was actually drawn on a map in 150 A.D. by the Greek geographer and astronomer Ptolemy. He never actually visited Australia; he just imagined there was an unknown land mass there, hence the label Terra Australis Icognita (Latin for "unknown land of the South"). When Dutch and English settlers arrived much later, they named the continent New Holland and New South Wales, respectively. In the early 1800s, British navigator and cartographer Captain Matthew Flinders circumnavigated the island and is credited with returning its name to Australia.

*KORFBALL

IS A BALL SPORT SIMILAR TO NETBALL AND BASKETBALL. IT IS PLAYED (INDOORS AND OUTDOORS) BY TWO TEAMS OF EIGHT PLAYERS WITH FOUR FEMALE PLAYERS AND FOUR MALE PLAYERS ON EACH TEAM. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO THROW A BALL INTO A NETLESS BASKET THAT IS MOUNTED ON A 11.5 FEET HIGH POLE. IT WAS INVENTED BY DUTCH SCHOOL TEACHER NICO BROEKHUYSEN IN 1902. IN THE NETHERLANDS THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 500 CLUBS AND MORE THAN 90,000 PEOPLE PLAYING KORFBALL. IT IS ALSO PLAYED IN BELGIUM AND TAIWAN, AND IN NEARLY 70 OTHER COUNTRIES.

*PÉTANQUE IS ANOTHER BOULES SPORTS LIKE RAFFA, BOCCE, BOULE LYONNAISE, LAWN BOWLS, AND CROWN GREEN BOWLING. IN ALL OF THESE SPORTS, PLAYERS OR TEAMS PLAY THEIR BOULES/BALLS TOWARDS A TARGET BALL. THE OBJECT IS TO SCORE POINTS BY HAVING BOULES CLOSER TO THE TARGET THAN THE OPPONENT AFTER ALL BOULES HAVE BEEN THROWN. IT IS NORMALLY PLAYED ON HARD DIRT OR GRAVEL AND CAN BE PLAYED IN PUBLIC AREAS IN PARKS OR IN DEDICATED FACILITIES CALLED BOULODROMES.

*Netball is a ball sport (created exclusively for female competitors) played on a rectangular court by two teams of seven players. The object is to shoot a ball (8.9 inches in circumference) through the defender's 10 foot-high goal ring while preventing the opposing team from doing the same thing shooting through your own goal ring. It is most commonly played in nations of the British Commonwealth. It differs from basketball in (amongst other things) that it has no backboards, and dribbling, bouncing, and running while in possession of the ball are prohibited. In addition, netball not only identifies the different positions of its players, but also defines where and in which areas of the court specific players are allowed to be, obviously emphasizing accurate passing and positioning.

thE UnitEd nAtions EdUcAtionAl, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) designates World Heritage Sites of outstanding universal value to cultural or natural heritage which have been nominated by countries that are signatories to the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, established in 1972. Cultural heritage consists of monuments (such as architectural works, monumental sculptures, or inscriptions), groups of buildings, and sites (including archaeological sites). Natural heritage is defined as natural features (consisting of physical and biological formations), geological and physiographical formations (including habitats of threatened species of animals and plants), and natural sites which are important from the point of view of science, conservation, or natural beauty. Greece ratified the UNESCO Convention in 1981.

There are 13 properties in Switzerland inscribed on the World Heritage List, nine of which are cultural sites and four of which are natural sites.

01/ The Old City of Berne was founded in the 12th century on a hill site surrounded on three sides by the Aare River.

The medieval city saw the introduction of water fountains in the 16th century and the renovation and rebuilding of older buildings in the 18th century.

02/ The Carolingian Convent of St Gall was founded in the 8th century and was secularized in 1805. It was one of the most important monasteries in Europe.
