SYDNEY， March 16 (Xinhua) -- Australian bearded dragons have an ability to change their color depending on their surrounds， researchers have found.

In a study published on Thursday， scientists from The University of Melbourne found that the Central bearded dragon， a native Australian reptile that can reach up to two feet in length， is capable of switching between shades in a matter of seconds.

While the dragons' display is not as striking as that of a chameleon， a reptile renowned for its pyrotechnic color displays， the color palettes the large reptiles adopt changes depending on the shade of their surroundings.

Viviana Cadena， the project leader from The University of Melbourne， said that the dragons likely change colors to regulate body temperature and communicate with opposition in their territory as well as hiding from predators.

Cadena collected dragons from north-western Victoria and the red desert in the Northern Territory (NT)， habitats approximately 1，500 km apart， to use in the study.

"We chose these two populations because their colours and the appearance of the habitats in which they live differed the most amongst all bearded dragon populations，" Cadena said in a media release on Thursday.

The lighter (southern) and darker (northern) populations were photographed in three separate habitats containing yellow sand similar to that in Victoria， red desert sand from the NT and black sand in simulated conditions varying from intense daylight to overcast conditions.

Cadena said both populations were able to change their color to a similar extent but when the Victorian lizards had adapted their hue remained more yellow than the naturally orange NT lizards and the same was true vice versa.

She said that the researchers were surprised to find that both sets of lizards achieved better color matches with their surroundings in low light conditions.

"We think this could be because there might be a higher risk of predation at low light levels at dawn and dusk， when many predators are most active，" Cadena said.

This article gives you information for how to improve your sales. Sounds like a silly question [url=http://www.airmax270homme.fr/nike-air-max-97.html]Nike Air Max 97 Homme[/url] , doesn't it. However, how much time you don't spend on sales activities? That is, first appointments [url=http://www.airmax270homme.fr/nike-air-max-95.html]Nike Air Max 95 Homme Pas Cher[/url] , telemarketing, sales training, strategic partnerships and other sales activities that you are asking a decision-maker to accomplish business with you? No [url=http://www.airmax270homme.fr/nike-air-max-95.html]Nike Air Max 95 Homme[/url] , this does not include networking! I am surprised at the amount of time that business entrepreneurs and owners really spend on sales activities.

I recently did a poll that asked that asked "how do you want to increase sales in 2018?"

Here are the choices:
increase advertising
improve my sales skills
increase my networking efforts
explore social media
focus more sales more sales activities

What do you think was the first choice selected?

Surprisingly, most people chose the networking answer. Sixty-two percent chose "increase my networking efforts". Thirty-seven percent chose "focus on more sales activities" Nobody chose improve my sales skills or explore social media. Now, this poll was not a scientific study [url=http://www.airmax270homme.fr/nike-air-max-270-femme.html]Nike Air Max 270 Femme Pas Cher[/url] , but, I was puzzled with the outcomes.

With over twenty years of sales knowledge, I know what activities produce sales. It is not networking. Sure [url=http://www.airmax270homme.fr/nike-air-max-270-femme.html]Nike Air Max 270 Femme[/url] , you meet interesting people and learn more about them and their business. It feels great to socially connect to other business owners. You get to add another business card to the stack. However, it does not get you new sales and more business?

Here is some questions to ponder:

What is your return on investment for your networking efforts?
How much time are you spending driving and conference people?
Just how many sales have straight resulted from your networking?
What would be your results if you invested that time to pick up the telephone to call a prospect or ask for a referral from your clients?

Let's be honest. Sometimes networking is just "busy work" that replaces what you really should be doing to create your business. Some business owners and entrepreneurs can do much networking to the detriment of their business sometimes.

The majority of my day is focused on sales activities. I am calling prospects (smiling and dialing), connecting with my clients [url=http://www.airmax270homme.fr/nike-air-max-270-homme.html]Nike Air Max 270 Homme Pas Cher[/url] , completing first call appointments and producing answer presentations and closing sales. These activities will result in SALES directly. Everything else is secondary. This means that I do all my administrative, creative and educational actions before and after might work day. In fact, I am writing this website on Sunday. I don't study and reply to my emails during the my time dedicated to sales tasks. I don't take personal calls during this time. I don't create my sales proposals during my sales time. Yes [url=http://www.airmax270homme.fr/nike-air-max-270-homme.html]Nike Air Max 270 Homme[/url] , it is a sales activity, but I am taken by it away from making a sales call, connecting with my clients or closing a deal. That's a no-no.

If you want more sales [url=http://www.airmax270homme.fr/nike-air-max-270-rose.html]Nike Air Max 270 Rose Homme Pas Cher[/url] , you must focus your time on sales-related actions then. Duh. Unfortunately, some individuals realize this too late. That is why 80% of all new businesses fail within the first five years. Your solution to more sales is not a better website, effective marketing strategy [url=http://www.airmax270homme.fr/nike-air-max-270-rose.html]Nike Air Max 270 Rose Homme[/url] , a comprehensive advertising-public relations marketing campaign or a pretty corporate brochure. You need more activity dedicated to sales. If you want to be successful in business, you must engage your clients and prospects. Don't be afraid to ask for the sale. You will not close 100% of sales, but I promise you that you will learn more and become a lot wiser. Learn from your mistakes and failures. Look for all sales opportunities and seek to them.
