English Lavender 'Maillette' 10 ml (.34 oz) Essential Oil
Botanical Name: Lavandula angustifolia 'Maillette'
Country of Origin: California, USA
Plant Part Used: Flowers
Method of Extraction: Steam Distillation
Oil color: Light yellow
Lavandula angustifolia 'Maillette' is the preferred lavender variety for therapeutic and medicinal use. The aroma of 'Maillette' is strongly but sweetly fragrant, fresh, and floral - herbaceous with woody undertones, and lacking in any sharp fragrance.
Lavandula angustifolia is native to the Mediterranean region. It is grown commercially and in home gardens throughout the world in Mediterranean climates, from California to Tasmania. 'Maillette' is a shorter growing variety, growing to just 24 inches. It prefers very dry conditions for best growth, and well drained soil. The blooms are a medium violet in color, and the flowers are on short stems. It is the one of the primary varieties used for high end essential oil productions in France. There are many other lavender and lavandin varieties more commonly grown in the United States, but 'Maillette' produces one of the highest quality essential oils.
Our essential oils are not cut with any synthetics or chemicals. Our lavender is grown on the property of Morningsun Herb Farm and Soul Food Farm, two neighboring properties in Pleasants Valley, a beautiful agricultural area in western Solano County in Northern California. We have two small production fields of 700 plants. We grow without the use of any inorganic chemicals - we use only organic fertilizers and hand removal of weeds. Each year there are many inputs into the growing of our lavender, including temperature, rainfall, amount of moisture in the spring, soil type, timing of harvest, and method of distillation. Some of these inputs are beyond our control, but 2012 was an excellent year for growing lavender in California - a mild wet winter, early spring with occasional deep rains, and a hot, dry summer. We are fortunate to have the only certified biodynamic distiller in the United States available in the city of Petaluma who is able to distill small batches of 70 lbs of flowers, so our flower harvest is separate from any other growers. Our production is very limited, and we do not purchase lavender flowers or oil from other producers. We also grow all of our lavender plants from cuttings at our nursery, so we have complete control over the entire growing cycle of the plants.
Lavender essential oil is commonly used to treat burns, inflammation, cuts, wounds, eczema, dermatitis, headaches, insomnia, hysteria, migraine headaches, nausea, nervous tension, infections, bacterial conditions, sores, ulcers, acne, boils, asthma, rheumatism, arthritis, restores hormonal balance, reduces cramps, lowers blood pressure, hypertension, tones the heart, helps respiratory conditions, helps skin maladies and acts as a sedative. Alternative medicine experts use lavender oil as an antiseptic, and there is much scientific evidence from England, Germany and Switzerland to indicate that its use is justified. Because of the soothing properties when mixed with massage lotion or oil, lavender has a calming and soothing effect on the muscle joints. It can relieve pain and provide an overall pleasurable experience for the patient. For this reason it is one of the most common essential oils used today for massage. The strong aroma of has been proven to have soothing effects in people suffering from stress, anxiety and mental illness. In some European countries, capsules of lavender are sold as an OTC drug. As a vapor, lavender oil can be mixed with vegetable glycerin to treat common cold and flu symptoms. Just add it to a vaporizer with your water and sit in an enclosed area. It can also be sprayed in a shower/sauna for a similar effect. You can even add a few drops to a bowl of hot water and breathe in the vapors. Because of the soothing properties, it has been known to induce sleep making it helpful for treating insomnia and other sleep related issues. Many people who are stressed out use it as a daily sleep aid. When applied directly on the skin, Lavender Oil can treat acne, wrinkles, psoriasis and inflammation which makes it a great addition to any skin care product.
Even with all the benefits many insects don't find Lavender Essential Oil appealing. It s a known mosquito and moth repellant and today many of the all natural as well as conventional insect repellants on the market contain Lavender as one of the primary ingredients.
Lavender oil blends well with citrus oils, cedarwood, clove, clary sage, chamomile, geranium, vetiver, and bergamot.

This book will make a difference in your presentation.
Format: Paperback
If you rely on Powerpoint-like presentation in your work, get Cliff Atkinson's Beyond Bullet Points. I had determined that improving my company's presentations had potentially very high returns so I started poking around the net and Amazon for resources to help. At first, I struck out with books that were supposed to improve presentations, but ended up being guides on technically how to use Powerpoint. That was NOT what I was looking for.
Beyond Bullet Points is very different. It is a philosophy about creating presentations whose purpose is to communicate a story, not dump information. Frankly, it was not intuitive for me so I had to decide to just trust that it would work. When I was about ¾ finished, I started to really "feel" what I was doing. And, to my surprise, the most unlikely people really liked the result.
In a world where most business and how-to books are nothing more that restating what you already know (or, what you know isn't true), this one is an exception. I highly recommend it!

Presentations with the audience in mind
Format: Paperback
I bought this hoping it would be a guide to creating Big-3 Consulting-style slides with fancy diagrams and eye-catching graphic design. That is not what this book is. Instead, this book is about how to tell a story with slides, using the framework of a five act drama. With this method forcing you to focus on who your audience is, what they need to know, and how much time you have to tell them (as opposed to trying to shoehorn everything you know about a subject into your pitch) you end up with a presentation that finishes on time for intelligent questions from an engaged audience.
Since buying the book I have given several well-received presentations using precisely that technique. With no words on screen there is no temptation to just read the bullet points, and the audience cannot think ahead of you and must instead listen to what you're saying. You have to know your material to use this method, but when you succeed your audience will be impressed with your knowledge of the subject matter. (If you're working in a group project and want to Blue Falcon a non-contributing teammate, try giving them a few of these slides to speak to.)
The recommended slide format is one picture and one headline per slide, with no bullet points at all. The book suggests creating Notes Pages with an outline of your talk as a handout, since the slides themselves don't stand alone. (And that's a good thing--visual aids are supposed to *augment* the presentation, not *be* the presentation.)
In conclusion, this book might not be for everyone, but it was exactly what I needed.

An outsider's view
Format: Paperback
When it comes to Cliff Atkinson's Beyond Bullet Points, I am a bit of an outsider. I don't read many computer books and, while I have worked with PowerPoint, my presentations are very simple. Since I admittedly use my share of bullet points in these presentations, I thought learning about an alternative approach would be useful. And while there are definite benefits to reading this book, it may not be perfect for everyone.
Many people use bullet points in their PowerPoint presentations; this can be a great way to organize thoughts, but Atkinson has a difference approach. Essentially, the Beyond Bullet Points method treats presentations as stories told in three "acts." Act One develops the story, Act Two develops the action and Act Three frames the resolution. Each act is broken down into scenes which provide the details. The first portion of the book explains how to work with each act; the second portion deals with the evolution from initial outline to final presentation.
This book assumes a certain amount of PowerPoint knowledge; if you want to learn about the application, this is not the place to start (on the other hand, you don't need to be a PowerPoint expert). One of the nicest things about Atkinson's approach is the way he allows presentations to be pared down to fit the time frame required: his method is designed best with a 45 minute presentation, but it can be easily compressed to a 15 minute or even 5 minute presentation. Another nice thing is that he has a website that readers can access that provides some helpful materials such as template documents.
On the other hand, Atkinson treats the issue of bullet points/no bullet points as something of a black-and-white issue. He doesn't really acknowledge that there may be a middle ground where bullet points should be used in certain situations, perhaps even in conjunction with his approach. I think it's more appropriate to view the Beyond Bullet Points as an alternative approach to PowerPoint presentations, not the ONLY approach.
Atkinson's writing style is straightforward, and like many computer books, a little dry. But as stated earlier, I am reading this book with something of an outsider's view. This is a good book, but Atkinson's inability to look beyond his own approach keeps it from being a five-star work. Nonetheless, if you do a lot of PowerPoint presentations, there is enough useful material in here to merit a read.

A Refreshing Approach to Presentations
Format: Paperback
I ran across this book while researching a college workshop on perfecting presentation, dealing with public speaking and effective use of PowerPoint. As one who has suffered through numerous electronic slides that did little or nothing to augment the speaker's efforts, I was delighted to see this fresh and innovative approach. I believe this process works best, however, when one's speech is primarily persuasive in nature. Although these ideas helped me set up a strong introduction and conclusion, in a recent lecture I resorted to bullet points for the material I felt the students had to master. Perhaps as I get more used to Atkinson's technique, I'll better about using it in lecture. However, the business applications seem quite worthwhile. My students' workshop presentations that used his techniques were highly engaging. I highly recommend this book and the supporting web site.

Simplistic and Inappropriate
Format: Paperback
I was hoping this book would provide insights into how to present complex information in a more comprehensible, useful format, using PowerPoint as the tool. Instead, the overall gist of this book is that presentations should be "dumbed down" as much as possible. The theme the author presents is that presentations should be story based. This is reasonable. However, the method the author recommends is that essentially *all* meaningful, complex (or, as the author prefers "boring") content be removed from the presentation. Presentations then become nothing more than catchy headlines and colorful graphics. All content should be in the presenter's notes (not typically to be provided). This is juvenile and useless and frankly reflects a complete lack of understanding of how presentations are made in a complex business environment.
