Communication par Internet entre Franchiseurs et Franchises

Cette communication entre franchiseurs et franchisés peut donc se faire aujourd'hui via Internet ou câbles de d'interconnexion reliant les franchises via leur réseau et permet de rentabiliser le travail des franchisés par le gain de temps en recherche d'informations si ce dernier est correctement utilisé.

Les franchisés peuvent alors passer leurs commandes en ligne et contrôler les dates de livraisons. La plus part des grandes franchises utilisent le système "à la minute", qui permet de connaître au moment précis l'état des stocks ou encore les livraisons effectuées à leur franchisés. Cela a donc réellement permis d'activer le processus et signifie également que le franchisé peut mieux réorganiser ses stocks sans être à court au moment X.

Les systèmes les plus pointus permettent également aux franchisés de s'approvisionner auprès d'un autre franchisé si le franchiseur est à cours de stock.

Les demandes peuvent être connectées au réseau et toutes les ventes peuvent être relayées auprès des franchiseurs. Cela implique donc que la plus part des cas des demandes d'ordres peuvent être retirées directement par le franchisé.

Pour le franchiseur, cela est fantastique car il n'est alors plus nécessaire de perdre du temps à rechercher le franchisé disposant de la quantité adéquate désirée qui pourrait répondre urgemment à la demande.

Les franchisés en tire un avantage certain car ils voient leur travail diminué et leur permet de passer plus de temps sur les problèmes marketings et la gestion de la relation clientèle.

Par ailleurs, les franchisés peuvent maintenant payer en même temps en ligne le franchiseur et les fournisseurs sans avoir recours aux carnets de chèques, enveloppes et postage. Une solution simple de payement en ligne donne de nombreux avantages que ne peuvent procurer les méthodes de payements classiques. En plus d'augmenter leur facilité de caisse, ce système leur permet également de réduire les risques de fraude.

Par exemple, une grande société de jeux carte possédant bon nombre de franchises. L'une d'entre elle se retrouve à cours de jeux que l'on vient de lui demander. Un simple passage sur Intranet et elle peut alors renseigner exactement son client quant aux délais de livraison du produit.

D'autres systèmes encore plus perfectionnés permettent de voir leurs comptes, rendant alors leur travail plus aisé grâce à une analyse plus objective. Le comptable est ainsi capable de voir en temps et en heure toute transaction effectuée et de récupérer les données des autres franchises.

Mais l'Intranet permet aussi à l'entreprise d'y déposer ses brochures, de visionner les dernières vidéos publicitaires de la société et éventuellement aider les franchiseurs en leur adressant un feedback sur la manière d'améliorer leur politique marketing pour le futur. Ils peuvent également tenir leurs opérateurs informés de façon régulière de manière manuelle.

Pour cela, un accès Internet haut débit est obligatoire, les franchisés développant habituellement leur business depuis leur ordinateur. Cela implique au franchiseur de devoir former son franchisé quant à l'utilisation et la maintenance de leur outil informatique.

es franchiseurs aiment adopter ce système afin de renforcer l'image de marque de la compagnie et faire participer activement leurs franchisés au cœur de cette dernière.

Toutefois, les dangers de l'utilisation d'Internet (ou intranet) sont nombreux. Si le serveur principal des franchiseurs tombe en panne et ne dispose pas de back up adéquate ou une facilité d'accès d'autres serveurs, tous les réseaux des franchisés peut être pénalisé.

Communicating on Purpose

Last week I attended an excellent 2-day workshop called "Staying Grounded When on the Spot," offered by the Public Conversations Project, in Watertown, MA. Geared to help facilitators and trainers manage challenging group moments, I found that the skills applied in a variety of settings, including one-on-one communication "hot spots."

When a conversation becomes difficult, I can return to a more centered, grounded state by asking two questions:

1) What is the purpose of my communication?

2) Will the choices I make serve that purpose?

Let's try it. Think of a conversation that you need to hold but have been putting off because you're concerned that it might not go well. What is your purpose for having the conversation? It helps to have a useful purpose. For example, trying to get the other person to change is not useful. You have no control over that. On the other hand, learning about his experience could be very useful.

What choices could you make to serve this purpose? Listening is a good start, and summarizing to clarify that you both heard the same thing. Asking questions that validate your partner and seek to understand his view also work beautifully. What is your purpose, and what choices will support it?

Other useful purposes could be sharing your experiences, or looking for mutually beneficial ways to solve a problem. Perilous purposes include venting on your partner, or making sure he understands how wrong he is. It sounds silly - who would ever choose such a purpose? But I know I've done it.

One caution: sometimes I think I'm going into a conversation with a useful purpose, like learning, but I find that the feeling or attitude behind it is more about revenge or punishment. So though I use the "appropriate" words, my partner still feels attacked.

Paying attention to your purpose for the conversation will give you the courage to have it and help you to stay grounded when things get hot.

Common Dream Symbols And Their Meanings

Dreams and their meanings are as individual as the people who dream them, but the following list of common dream symbols and some of their many meanings can help you get started in the fascination and the "fun world" of dream interpretation.

Fog
Fog in a dream can be a manifestation of a lost or confused waking life. Fog can also mean you are beginning to explore different parts of your life or your personality.

Gate
A gate can represent an entrance or an exit, depending on its context. It can also symbolize a beginning or an end.

Illness
Dreaming about illness can be your body’s way of telling you there is something wrong. The subconscious mind can also sense things that the conscious mind is unaware of.

Keys
Dreaming of keys can indicate the keeping of a secret, or that you have been locking away your feelings.

Mountain
Dreaming of climbing a mountain can be symbolic of achieving a goal or reaching for higher levels of success. Dreaming of coming down a mountain can mean you have overcome insurmountable odds, while gazing at a mountain in a dream can mean you are contemplating a major life decision.

Owl
An owl is thought to be the symbol of knowledge and wisdom. In addition, the owl is often thought to represent the subconscious itself. Owls are often used to deliver important messages to dreamers.

Road
A road in a dream can symbolize the direction or goal of the dreamer. A straight road may mean that everything is going smoothly, while dreaming of a bumpy or winding road can be a manifestation of perceived problems with your place in life.

Stairs
Dreaming of stairs can indicate a rise or a reduction in your stature, finances or your spiritual life. What stairs mean depends on which direction you are going in your dream.

Underground
Dreaming of venturing underground can represent a trip to the dreamer’s subconscious mind, or mean that he or she is wrestling with issues that need to be faced. Going underground in a dream may mean that the dreamer is ready to deal with previously repressed issues.

Angels
Angels are of course a symbol of purity and goodness, and their appearance in a dream can often represent the quest for spiritual goodness and enlightenment. In addition, angels often appear in dreams as guides or teachers, and many people take the advice of these angel dream guides very seriously.

Animals
Animals in dreams are often seen to symbolize base, instinctual actions, emotions and desires. These base desires are often repressed so that we may live in a civilized society, but just the same they are there, lurking in the shadows so to speak.

Different animals have different meanings in dreams. For instance, dreaming of cats may mean you have been repressing the intuitive, feminine side of your nature, while dreaming of lions could mean that you have been repressing anger. The key to taking meaning from animals in dreams is to think about the particular traits each animal represents.

Black
Dreams about black, or black objects can be signs of evil or darkness.

Blood
Blood in a dream can often be a representation of vitality and power. The meaning of blood in the dream is dependent on the context. For instance, violent and bloody dreams can indicate an emotional upheaval in your life or a loss of control, while dreams of bloody hands can indicate feelings of guilt.

Cars
Cars can represent a sense of freedom, and of being in control.

Dancing
Dreaming of a dance can have many meanings, depending on the nature of the dance and its context within the dream. Dancing can symbolize marriage, romance or sex. Dance can also symbolize the freedom of movement or cooperation.

Eggs
Eggs in dreams can be symbols of birth or renewal, or wholeness and fertility. Dreaming of broken eggs, or breaking eggs in a dream, can represent a shattered faith, or a breaking out of your shell, depending on the context.

Comment Resserer les Liens de L'Amitie

Lors de multiples discussions avec de nombreuses femmes combinant vie professionnelle et vie familiale, il est toujours apparu le regret de ne pas avoir assez de temps pour soi. L'abandon au fur et a mesure du temps de ses amies d'antan, il en est ressorti que ce qui motive une personne a jouer de plus en plus au casino et autres jeux d'argent est son rapport a la vie.
Pour ces dernieres, la vie elle meme est un jeu. Respirer est un jeu,sortir hors de chez soi est un jeu, bref, meme le quotidien est un jeu. mais le casino, quant a lui, nous offre des sensations uniques car les paris ne sont, contrairement aux mouvemet quotidiens,bases que sur le fruit du hasard. Le casino procure a l'homme une montee d'adrenaline hors norme. Le risque est donc plus fort.


Ainsi, de cette etude. il en est ressorti les resultats suivants:


Le temps des vacances:

Ces 10 dernieres annees, Las Vegas est devenue l'endroit populaire pour jouer en famille car a la mise en place de systeme de resort et d'attractions familiales.


Pour gagner et devenir riche :

De toutes personnes interviewees ces personnes sont les plus representatives du phenomene. Elles sont venues au casino avec l'espoir de devenir riches et de pouvoir changer le cours de leur destin.


Problèmes d'argent :

Rejoint l'idee precedente. Beaucoup semble croire qu'ils peuvent regler leurs problemes d'argent en jouant. Or, il y a aussi de forte chance, si madame chance n'est pas la, qu'elles engrangent d'avantages de pertes et de problemes si elles ne peuvent gerer leurs jeux et leurs mises.

Salle de Mariage:

Pour certains, se rendre au casino est l'endroit ideal pour celebrer son mariage. Un peu comme dans une eglise quoi. Et de preference a Las Vegas ou Salt Lake City. Leurs salles deviennent a la mode pour ce genre d'evenement en raison de leur prix rentable, l'originalite de leur hall d'accueil et l'espace de la salle pouvant accueillir grand nombre d'invites.


Leurs revenus.

Pour certains, le casino est comme un metier. Certains y passent toute leur journee pour pouvoir remporter une sorte de "salaire" plus ou moins eleve d'ici la fin du mois.


Pour trouver l'ame soeur:

Vous n'imagineriez pas le nombre de personnes celibataires se rendant en casino lors de parties de celibataires, uniquement dns l'espoir de trouver l'ame soeur et pourtant. Grand nombre de personnes interrogees y ont mentionne ce desir.


Pour fuir de chez soi :

La majorite des personnes interrogees ayant repondu pour sortir de chez soi sont essentiellement des gens de la gente masculine, tous maries depuis plus de 10 ans et peres de famille. Ces derniers se rendent generalement au casino en moyenne une fois par mois pendant quelques heures avant de rentrer.


Pour le plaisir :

Ces personnes auraient eu la bonne reponse. Toutefois, j'ai du mal a croire que cette categorie, qui devrait apparaitre en premiere place, ne se trouve au final qu'au bas de la liste. En effet, jouer au casino devrait etre avant tout une partie de plaisir. Integrer une ambiance hors pair d'un casino reel, avoir des boissons gratuites et ameliorer leur techniques de jeux, telles sont leurs principales preoccupations.

Collecting Wrestling Action Figures

If you are a wrestling fan, then you probably enjoy collecting memorabilia that is associated with your favorite sport of superstar. Everything from t-shirts and books to trading cards are available, but perhaps the most popular is that of action figures. The reason is because these small collectibles bare the resemblance of a wrestling superstar and take up very little space in the display case. In addition, when they are first released, wrestling action figures are very inexpensive.

As the years progress, wrestling action figures can significantly increase in value. As a general rule, anything that is left in it’s original packaging is more valuable because, you guessed it, most people take them out and play with them. Action figures are very popular among children, which is why it is so often difficult to find a specific wrestling action figure in it’s original packaging. In addition, collectibles that are kept in mint/near mint condition inevitably increase in value much more than something that has visible scratches or other defects.

If you are a collector who is also purchasing wrestling action figures for investment, it’s not a bad idea to buy two of each item. With this approach, you will have one wrestling action figure for the display and one that you can keep in it’s original packaging for investment. If you are thinking like an investor, then you already know that any collectible that is produced in a limited edition will prove to be the most valuable in years to come. Additionally, those limited edition pieces are often higher in value if they have a low serial number. For instance, if there were to be 5,000 wrestling action figures produced of a certain superstar, the ones that may prove to gain in value the most could very well be those with the lowest number in that edition. An example would be 10/5,000 or 100/5,000. As a general rule, the closer you can get to the first collectible made, the more valuable your object becomes.

There is no shortage of ways to find wrestling action figures, with the newest releases being made widely available at most retail stores. The more rare collectibles will often be found in a sports collectibles store or at an annual memorabilia show. If you opt for the latter, be ready to shuck out some bucks if you plan to shop because show dealers are knowledgeable in the products that they sell and they aren’t likely to be offering a bargain. It is significantly expensive to set up a booth at a memorabilia show, so dealers tend to bring their top dollar merchandise for just such an occasion.

The internet is a virtual haven for all things collectible, including wrestling action figures. If you are looking for a rarity or just browsing for a mini replica of your favorite wrestling superstar, you are more likely to find it online than anywhere else. With a world of retailers, there really is no other place to shop that offers a better selection. If you want to be the one to set the price, check out the online auction sites and see if you can snag a bargain.

Codependency: An Interpersonal Phenomenon

In the popular and clinical lit, codependency has been defined as a disease (Wegscheider-Cruse, 1985), a personality disorder (Cermak, 1986), and a maladaptive way of relating to others (Fischer, Spann, & Crawford, 1991). These definitions and descriptions of codependency in the typically emanate from a linear perspective of individual pathology, yet the construct is interpersonal in nature and does not exist in isolation. From a social-psychological position, clinical and popular models of codependency rich person overlooked the impact of the interpersonal environment on codependent behaviour and on judgments of codependency. A mortal exhibiting behaviors such as across-responsibility for others and neglect of 1's own needs whitethorn be viewed differently in the linguistic context of a human relationship in which their collaborator fails to exhibit equivalent concern and attention than in a kinship of mutuality and reciprocity. From the view of differential might, Hagan (1989) has called codependency a euphemism for the practice of dominance and mastery.

Foster, Kasl (1989) has referred to codependency as a "disease of inequality" and a term for "internalized oppression" (p. A contextual on codependency can be viewed as reflecting inequality in a family relationship rather than evidence of a personality disorder. Once caretaking doings is not reciprocated in a , a condition of inequality and hyponymy exists. commensurate caretaking behaviors reciprocated, the can be viewed as I of equal mightiness. Support for the powerlessness interpretation of codependency was provided by Cowan, Bommersbach, and William Curtis's (1995) survey of codependence and ability. Among both college women and college , codependency tons were positively related to to the use of indirect (or first gear exponent) strategies to get ace's way and negatively germane(p) to single's perceived index in a .

Historically, social norms for the traditional marriage bear dictated that the wife adapt to the husband's lifestyle and career and be the primary feather caretaker of the home and children. Paradoxically, the potential normative for women includes -involvement in the needs of unity's spouse and children to the neglect of i's ego, yet conformity to this expectation is now labeled codependence. Based on the women's liberationist critique of codependency as applied Thomas More to women than to , we that codependent women and their relationships would be seen as to a lesser extent intelligent than codependent and their relationships. Continued from page 2.

The grammatical gender force showed that female person SPs were seen as better partners, but as showing emotion levelheaded than male person SPs in the codependent part. These findings not surprising viewed as a reflection of cultural expectations of women to be the helpers, nurturers, and managers of relationships (Moth miller, 1985; Tavris, 1992) while at the same time, women performing this purpose viewed as sound than . Interestingly, the effects of the conditions were not moderated by the of the SP, despite the lay targeting codependent women with nonreciprocating manful partners. The finding that, across conditions, distaff raters viewed the relationships as salubrious than did manly raters, and the codependent SP Sir Thomas More dysfunctional and good for you(p) than virile raters viewed them, Crataegus laevigata be an indication that women to a greater extent critical of the -sacrificing use than , regardless of the description of the better half's .

Also, women Crataegus oxycantha be familiar with the problems associated with -sacrifice and sensitized to issues of codependence than due to the large number of -help books about codependency directed toward women. Part of the codependency labeling process worthy of future sketch includes the conditions under which people mark themselves codependent. Subordinated partners in a of unequal world power May be likely to themselves codependent than partners in a of reciprocal major power. The frustrations of nonreciprocity in a make it easier to assign a codependency to ane's rather than to recognize inequality within the . With the abundance of codependency groups and the popularity of the term in everyday language, further examination of the societal and personal issues that birth made codependency a compelling concept, is warranted.

Classical Definition of Ghazal

Ghazal ! The word originates from arabic, meaning, “way or mannerism of talking to or talking about women.” Thus in fact it s an expression of love! But in this ever changing world the ghazal has become a reflection of the life around us, and now there is hardly any sphere of human interaction which the ghazal hasn’t touched.
To better understand the finer nuances of Urdu ghazal it is imperative to understand the structure around which a ghazal is woven!
Classical Definition of Ghazal
Briefly stated Ghazal is a collection of Sher’s which follow the rules of ‘Matla’, ‘Maqta’, ‘Beher’, ‘Kaafiyaa’ and ‘Radif’. So to know what Ghazal is, it’s necessary to know what these terms mean.
To understand these terms easily , we will take an example.
1. koi ummid bar nahin aati
koi surat nazar nahin aati.
2. aage aati thi haale dil par hasi
ab kisi baat par nahin aati
3. hum wahan hain, jahan se humko bhi
kucch hamaari khabar nahin aati
4. kaabaa kis muh se jaaoge ‘Ghalib’
sharm tumko magar nahin aati

What is a Sher ?
It’s a poem of two lines. This definition is deceptively simple. Please note that, every Sher is a poem in itself ! A Sher does not need, anything around it, to convey the message. All the 4 stanzas in our example are independent poems, Sher’s.

So Ghazal is necessarily a collection of two-line-poems called Sher. [ So the Rafi solo “rang aur noor ki baaraat kise pesh karu” is NOT a Ghazal, as every stanza is of 3 lines, and not 2. ]

What are other restrictions ? Many, and important ones.
[ Any collection of Sher’s is not Ghazal. Some good examples are ; the famous Mukesh song from Yehoodi, “yeh mera deewaanaapan hai” ; and the title song of “dil apana aur preet parayi”. Each stanza in these songs can be considered as an independent Sher, but they are NOT Ghazal’s. To understand, why, we have to wait till ‘Kaafiyaa, ‘Radif’. ]

What is ‘Beher’ ?
‘Beher’ is the ‘meter’ of the Sher’s. It can be considered as the length of the Sher. Both the lines in the Sher *MUST* be of same ‘Beher’. And all the Sher’s in one Ghazal *MUST* be of the same ‘Beher’. There are 19 (!!) kinds of ‘Beher’. But in simple terms, ‘Beher’ is categorized in 3 classes. Short, medium, long.

Small :
ahale dairo-haram reh gaye
tere deewane kam reh gaye
[ Also Talat song, “dil-e-nadan tuze hua kya hai” ]

Medium :
umr jalwo me basar ho, ye zaruri to nahin
har shab-e-gam ki seher ho, ye zaruri to nahin
[ And by Gulzar, “ruke ruke se kadam, ruk ke baar baar chale” ]

Long :
ai mere humnashin, chal kahin aur chal, is chaman me ab apanaa guzaaraa nahin
baat hoti gulon ki, to seh lete hum, ab to kaaton pe bhi haq hamaaraa nahin
[ The filmfare winner, “Manzile apani jagah hai” !! Yes ! It IS a Ghazal. And the Shayar is Prakash Mehra !! surprise , surprise !! ]

So Ghazal is a collection of Sher’s of SAME ‘Beher’.

What is ‘Radif’ ?
In a Ghazal, second line of all the Sher’s MUST end with the SAME word/s. This repeating common words is the Radif’ of the Ghazal. In our example, the ‘Radif’ is “nahin aati”. [ Sometimes, the Ghazal becomes known by its ‘Radif’. eg. “jaraa aahista chal” sung by Pankaj Udhas. On RMIM we all know one Ghazal by the ‘Radif’ as “aahista aahista”, don’t we ? or is it 2 or 3 ?

What is ‘Kaafiyaa’ ?
‘Kaafiyaa’ is the rhyming pattern which all the words before ‘Radif’ MUST have. In our example the ‘Kaafiyaa’ is “bar”, “nazar”, “par”, “magar” etc. This is a necessary requirement. Something which is followed even in the exceptions to all these rules.

So Ghazal is a collection of Sher’s of same ‘Beher’, ending in same ‘Radif’ and having same ‘Kaafiyaa’. [ That’s the reason, why “yeh mera diwanapan hai” etc. are NOT Ghazals. There is no common thing which can be called ‘Kaafiyaa’ and ‘Radif’. ]

What is ‘Matla’ ?
The first Sher in the Ghazal *MUST* have ‘Radif’ in its both lines. This Sher is called ‘Matla’ of the Ghazal and the Ghazal is usually known after its ‘Matla’. There can be more than one ‘Matla’ in a Ghazal. In such a case the second one is called ‘Matla-e-saani’ or ‘Husn-e-matla’. In our example, the first Sher is the ‘Matla’.

What is ‘Maqta’ ?
A Shayar usually has an alias ie. ‘takhallus’ eg. Mirza Asadullakhan used ‘Ghalib’ as his ‘takhallus’ and is known by that. Other examples are ‘Daag’ Dehlvi, ‘Mir’ Taqi Mir, Said ‘Rahi’, Ahmed ‘Faraz’ etc. There is a Sher in a Ghazal, the last one, which has the Shayar’s ‘takhallus’ in it. [ A Shayar, can use the ‘Maqta’ very intelligently. He can “talk to himself” like one in our example. I have lots of favourite Sher’s which are ‘Maqta’ of some Ghazal. Some gems are

koi nam-o-nishan puchhe to ai kaasid bataa denaa,
takhallus ‘Daag’ hai, aur aahiqon ke dil me rehte hai

and

jab bhi milte hain, to kehte hain, “kaise ho ‘Shakil’”,
iske aage to koi baat nahin hoti hai

The first one uses the meaning of the ‘takhallus’ to create the magic, and the second one is just simple, simply beautiful. ]

To summarize, Ghazal is a collection of Sher’s (independent two-line poems), in which there is atleast one ‘Matla’, one ‘Maqta’ and all the Sher’s are of same ‘Beher’ and have the same ‘Kaafiyaa’ and ‘Radif’

Citas a Ciegas

Para todo aquel que busque encontrar su alma gemela, media naranja, amor, enamorarse, un compañero de emociones o como quieras llamarlo es algo difícil de encontrar. Para algunos desde ya no es algo complicado, les ha pasado a los 15 años, 18, 22, en fin ya comparten el día y la mayor parte de sus vidas con alguien desde hace mucho. A otros, sin embargo les es más complicado y duro de encontrar.

La experiencia de las citas a ciegas es algo inolvidable, bueno o malo puede ser interesante. Como dicen, la experiencia es cuando no encuentras lo que buscas. Sin embargo hay casos en que esta experiencia se vuelve en lo que uno busca.

Si eres de aquellos que creen en que un amigo, familia o alguien que te conoce puede llegar a tener a alguien con el cual encuentres lo que buscas, la pregunta es ¿Por qué no probar?

En mi caso personal, experimente varias citas a ciegas y amigas mías también lo hicieron. Algunas fueron sorprendentes, en el sentido de buenas y otras de malas. Es como un juego de ruleta una pequeña probabilidad en muchas de que salgas feliz o que algo interesante salga de ello.

Una amiga de mi mama quiso que conozca al hermano de su nuera. Cuando llegue al lugar de la cita y lo vi, rápidamente me di cuenta de que no era para mi pero quizás podía pasar un buen rato. El chico, trajo consigo un poema que había escrito y quería decírmelo. Era una situación muy rara e incomoda ya que el y yo no concordábamos en nada y no teníamos nada que ver. El problema era que la amiga de mi mama no me conocía tanto, y creía que si. Es por eso que la cita no funciono.

En el caso de mi hermana, al mudarse a un país nuevo la única forma de conocer gente y chicos era por medio de citas. Lo gracioso de la historia es que la señora de la lavandería le propuso salir con su hijo y ella acepto. Al llegar a la cita el chico tenía labio leporino y era nada atractivo en su aspecto. Mi hermana no podía disimular no mirar a su labio y en el medio de la cita encontró a otro chico en la mesa de enfrente que le gusto.

Mi amigo, que es gay y yo salimos hace unas semanas a una fiesta con una amiga mía. Los dos se hicieron amigos y ella le comento que tiene un amigo de su clase de la universidad que también es gay y es muy lindo. Entonces arreglaron que por que no se conocían. AL final de la noche intercambiaron teléfonos y quedo ella en hablar con su amigo. Su amigo acepto y se llamaron. Al encontrarse los dos no tenían nada de lo que hablar y el otro para hacer la cita más corto no pudo disimular su desinterés y hacia todo rápido para irse antes.

En fin, las citas a ciegas son algo que debes hacer si la persona que los conecta los conoce bien y puede llegar a saber que te gustara de la otra persona o que buscas. Sin embargo no hay certeza de que saldrás contento de una forma u otra. Puede pasar que de casualidad la persona te encante y que si tienes la mente abierta saldrás ganando.

Christian T-Shirts - Where To Buy

T-shirts are a permanent part of our lives, whether we're relaxing in the summer heat or layering to ward off the winter chill. There's just nothing better or more comfortable than a t-shirt. But you probably don't want a boring, plain old white t-shirt. You want one that's got style and sends a message. But then the question is, what kind of message do you want to send?

To send a message that's positive and uplifting, try a Christian t-shirt. You can find all kinds of Christian tees on the market today. For instance, there are Christian shirts that resemble sports t-shirts, rock music t-shirts, surf t-shirts, motorcycle t-shirts and many other kinds of t-shirts.

You can also find Christian t-shirts that are bold and others that are subtler. When I say bold, I mean the t-shirts that you can tell are Christian from a distance. An example of this would be the “Jesus King of Kings” t-shirt. This tee reads in big print, “Worship Jesus The King Of Kings.”

The subtler Christian t-shirts are the ones that look like regular t-shirts from a far. Take the “AbreadCrumb & Fish” t-shirt for example. From a distance, it resembles an Abercrombie & Fitch t-shirt but when you get up close, you can see that it’s a Christian tee.

If you are a Christian, the kind of Christian t-shirt that will be most appealing to you will probably depend mostly on your personality. Do you want people to immediately know when they see you coming that you are a Christian or do you want to be able to get up close and talk to them first? Regardless of your personality, Christian t-shirts can help you share your faith and as a Christian it’s something you need to do. Don’t take my word though, here’s what Jesus said, “ … go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” Matthew 28:19.

So now the question is, where can I get a Christian tee that’s right for me? First look in your phone book to see if there’s a Christian store nearby. If there’s a Christian store that’s close to you, give them a call and ask them if they carry any Christian t-shirts (not all Christian stores carry them). If they have some, go and check out their selection.

If you don’t see anything you like at the Christian store or if there’s not a Christian store nearby that sells Christian t-shirts, don’t worry because you can get the perfect t-shirt for your personality on the Internet. Just do a do a Google, Yahoo or MSN search for Christian t-shirts, and you’ll find a huge selection of shirts to choose from. When deciding on an on-line Christian store, I recommend buying from a store that sells t-shirts with screen-printed designs. There are a lot of on-line Christian stores that have their designs put onto t-shirts by way of heat transfer and I don’t recommend buying one of these Christian t-shirts because the quality is not as good.

Good luck in your quest to find the right Christian t-shirt and positively impacting people!

There are some who offer chore services and home maintenance, but on the other hand, there are some that don?t. Choosing the most suitable retirement community you would buy will depend on whether your needs are provided for or not.

4) Expressing your lifestyle.

* Are you adventurous? Or did you always wanted to try fishing? Have you had enough of adventure and just wanted to learn new things? Is bible study an option for you?

* Education. Because it?s your time to just sit and enjoy life, search for retirement communities that provide access to your favorite sport, hobby, and interests. Check to see if the location has spaces for golfing, billiards, aerobics, badminton, or fishing. Although many of the retirement communities strive to enhance their services by adding sports features, you still need to inquire if they provide the sports you love.

* Sports. Many retirement communities offer learning facilities. Check their activity schedule and find out if they could provide you with knitting, painting, computer courses and many more. See if the community has a group forum for education.

* Culture. Events are important because living in a retirement community is like camp. Learn if the retirement communities offer fieldtrips to museums, concerts, picnics, and many more.

5) Choosing your retirement community. With all of these selection listed, you will now be able to lessen your choices. Before choosing, decide on what state you?re going to live in. Location is very important. Know if there are hospitals in the vicinity. Then, start on finding which community would be perfect for your need.

Live the life you've always dreamed of. Retirement communities provide any kind of service you need. Purchase your own and share it with your loved ones.

Choosing The Best Flower Shop

When choosing a flower shop, you first want to look at the quality of the flowers on sale. Make sure they are fresh. When a shop has a garden nearby, this is a good sign, because its flowers will be freshly picked.

Some flower shops even sell roses and other kinds of flowers that are still planted. The best florists will then pick and cut whatever flowers you choose.

If are planning for a flower delivery, make sure the shop delivers fresh flowers on time! Ask about how long the time period is between when the flowers are picked and when they are finally delivered. Even ask about the type of vehicle the florists use.

If you don’t’ know what kind of flowers to buy, browse the colorful shop. There should be tulips, roses, daffodils and everything else you can imagine. And then of course, certain occasions call for certain flowers.

To really find the best flower shop in town, ask friends who have frequently bought flowers in the past (maybe they are in a leadership position and often decorate for special events). You can even scout out a flower plantation to make sure the plants are bred and fertilized well.

Not only are the actual types of flowers important, but so are the arrangements. You will need to find a flower shop that employs clever designers who create elegant, presentable bouquets for any occasion.

You can even research different flower shops online! Many shops can be partially, or wholly, based on the web and they don’t operate much differently than normal markets except that the payment and transaction process is of course markedly different (and more convenient). However, it is best to check up on a shop personally, rather than with the Internet, as your eyes and nose can truly detect the freshness and health of a shop’s flowers.

Another good thing to ask a flower shop employee is if the store offers refunds for damaged flowers. This way, if you receive flowers upon delivery that simply aren’t fresh, you can refuse to pay for them.

After you have looked into the different flower shops, choose your favorite!

Choosing An Active Adult Community

Taking the plunge into retirement or semi-retirement can be daunting enough without making the choice to move into a new home at the same time. But many people age 55 and above are choosing to leave their high maintenance or too large family home to move into active adult communities, which are restricted to households with at least one member age 55 and older.

According to the 2005 Senior Sentiment Survey conducted by Financial Freedom, the nation’s largest reverse mortgage lender, the number one reason older adults choose to move into a retirement community is safety. Fifty-four percent of the survey, which included younger seniors age 62-75, said they feel safer in a planned community. Other reasons given for moving into an active adult community include the desire to be with people their own age, the amenities and services provided and the lack of daily demands of owning a home. Most active adult communities feature low-maintenance homes, and usually lawn mowing and snow removal are included in the community fees.

Making the decision to sell the family home and move into a new community requires couples or singles to determine when they want to move, where they want to move and how much they can afford to spend. Active adult communities, which used to be found primarily in the Sun Belt states such as Arizona and Florida, are rapidly growing in popularity all across the nation. Seniors are often choosing to move into retirement communities close to home so that they can be near family and friends, rather than moving out of state. Builders are aware of this and have begun developing active adult communities in every part of the country.

An Internet search can provide a list of hundreds of active adult communities around the country. To narrow the search, older couples and singles should begin by determining whether they want to stay in their home state, look at nearby states or move farther away. In addition to considering the importance of proximity to family or friends when deciding on a retirement location, seniors may want to think about the climate they wish to live in and whether they want to live in or near a city or a smaller town with cultural amenities. For some older adults, owning a home on a golf course, near lakes and rivers for fishing or within driving distance of the ocean is more important. For others, the ability to drive to a city or resort area for short weekends is important.

Obviously, seniors who still intend to work full-time or part-time need to stay within commuting distance of the office, but even seniors who are retired need to spend time discussing lifestyle plans with their spouses. Many seniors choose to take on a new part-time job or do volunteer work in an area of interest. Others want to pursue education in a new field. In any of these scenarios, the location of the new home must be within access of a college or university, a place to pursue volunteer interests and work locations.

Transportation needs are just one of the many considerations which can change over time. According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), the average age of buyers in active adult communities has dropped over the past ten years from 67 to 61. Younger seniors are usually driving, extending their careers, and are more physically and socially active. As they age, their needs change and they may no longer be able to drive, so public transportation or services provided by the active adult community should be investigated.

Younger seniors, according to the NAHB, don’t like to think of themselves as “seniors”. But they do want their homes to incorporate what are known as “universal design” features which provide easier accessibility if mobility becomes a problem. Buyers in active adult communities should ask their builders if they have included universal design in their homes and if there are optional features which can enhance future accessibility problems. Universal design elements include raising electrical outlets, lowering light switches and replacing them with rocker switches, using lever handles instead of doorknobs, widening doorways and placing a seat in the shower. Most of these features are appealing to buyers of all ages and they can make it easier to convert a home to accommodate a wheelchair if this should become necessary.

Buyers in active adult communities need to determine when a home will actually be ready for them to move in, as in some developments it can take ten months to a year or more before their home is ready. In addition, if planned amenities such as clubhouse, fitness center or golf course are important, it would be wise to make certain these amenities will be completed as soon as possible. Some developments provide these amenities only after most of the homes have been completed, which could mean a long wait for the first group of residents.

Doing the research on all these topics can help any active adult make the right decision about buying a new home.

Choosing A Theme For Your Next Event

One important aspect of event planning is choosing a theme for your party or gathering. Unless you are planning a wedding or a baby shower, the theme might not be obvious. The theme can be anything you choose, but it's important to remember your guests' comfort and therefore plan with that in mind. It's wise to have a theme that all guests can easily adapt to. Having to go out and purchase a new outfit or rent an elaborate costume is a burden for some people, and attending an event should be something that people look forward to.

One theme that lasts year after year is of course, the birthday party. Birthday parties are a wonderful cause for celebration and they can be enjoyed by people of virtually any age. If you are planning a youngster's birthday you might choose to have an additional theme. Two ideas are a sleep-over or a backwards party, where the children all put on their clothes backwards and the cake is served before dinner. In circumstances like this, event planning is fun for both the parents and the child. It's wonderfully rewarding for the child to be involved in every aspect of the planning of their birthday celebration; unless of course, you opt for a surprise party. Planning a surprise birthday party gets to be a bit trickier but with a little help and a great deal of patience, it can be an enormous success.

A popular theme for parties is having the guests wear costumes. This can be fun for everyone involved and children especially enjoy it during the Halloween season. It gives them an opportunity to put on something fun and act differently for a day. Event planning for a Halloween or costume party is much the same as any other event. You need to first contact the guests and tell them that they'll need to find a costume to wear. Then it's time to choose a menu and decorations. Although the theme is a bit different than your average cocktail party, the event planning aspect is very much the same. It is attention to detail that is most important.

Other popular themes that people enjoy for gatherings are:

Hawaiian or a beach theme. All the guests dress up in swimsuits and straw hats and drink tropical drinks. This is especially enjoyable during the colder, winter months.

A 1950s or 1960s flashback party. You can request that the guests dress from the era you've chosen and with the music that was popular back in the day playing, it will really be a blast from the past!

It's important when you are working on the event planning of any party, to choose a theme that people will enjoy and can be fit into any and all budgets. Once the party starts, don't forget to join in the fun with your guests. Whether it's a birthday party or a New Year's Eve party if you plan accordingly, you can make it an event that will long be remembered.

Choosing A Quality Online Florist

The first thing to look at when choosing an online florist is whether or not the company is a real florist. There are actually many companies that claim to be but are not. Instead, these companies are resellers or affiliates. This means they just take your flower arrangement order and send it to a florist. As a result, your flower arrangement might not be the best quality. You will also probably spend more to send flower arrangements this way. This is because you are paying the commission for the reseller.

Choose Local

An online florist can have a flower shop anywhere in the world. For flower arrangements to stay fresh, they cannot travel great distances. Therefore, choose an online florist with a shop in the area where you plan to send flower arrangements. That way, your flower arrangement will be fresh when it gets to the person you are sending it to.

It is actually easier to choose a local florist than you might think. First, go to a search engine, such as Google. Then, type in "florist" and the name of the city where you wish to send flower arrangements. This will bring up many different florists for the area. Some will then allow you to complete your order online.

If you still aren't sure about the florist, call. Ask the worker if they are a local business. Then, ask for directions to the shop. If the person is unable to give you directions, it's a sure sign it isn't really a local flower shop. You might also want to check with the Better Business Bureau to make sure the florist has a solid reputation.

Choose Secure

When shopping online for a beautiful flower arrangement, you also want to be sure you are safe. This means you should only order a flower arrangement from a florist with a secure server. A secure server guarantees no one will be able to steal your credit card information. To be sure the web site is secure, look for a small "lock" symbol on the computer screen. It is usually in the bottom left corner of the browser. Sometimes, it can be found in the top right corner instead. If you don't see this symbol, don't shop with that florist. Your personal information will be open for anyone to find and to read if you do.

Choose Honest

When choosing a florist, you also want to work only with one that is honest with its customers. For example, a florist who claims to offer free flower delivery or to be tax-free is not being honest. The flower delivery driver has to be paid somehow. At the same time, taxes have to be paid. You will pay for the flower delivery and taxes one way or another. Either the flowers will be more expensive or, worse yet, you might get a low quality flower arrangement. A good florist will have all of this information on the website. You should be able to easily find out how much delivery costs and how much tax you will pay.

Choosing a Lawyer

Choosing a lawyer can be a tough decision. The most important part of the decision is what type of attorney you will require. If you are going to court for a possession charge, you need a criminal defense lawyer. If you are going for a divorce, naturally you want a divorce lawyer. Choosing specialized representation is always a good idea because the person you choose as your attorney will have a vast wealth of knowledge on that particular subject, instead of a small amount of experience in many different fields. You don’t need your personal injury lawyer to know anything about divorce law right?
So where do you find a reliable lawyer? The most convenient way it to look online. There are a few reliable web sites out there for finding an attorney in your city or state. Generally you want to search based on the type of representation you require, followed by your state or closest major city.
What are you looking for in a lawyer? Well you definitely want him to be an honest, warm person. Don’t waste your time with people who seem like your not worth theirs. You also want someone with experience. Inquire about experience : how long he/she has been practicing, what school they graduated from, etc. Most attorneys will happily show you their credentials. If they hesitate, they likely don’t have many credentials and you might want to stay clear of that particular person.
Overall, when looking for the right attorney you just gotta use your judgement. The same rules apply to choosing a family doctor or a psychologist; you want to feel comfortable that you are being taken care of. Never be afraid to ask questions, and most importantly keep yourself involved in your case. If you are filing for bankruptcy, read up about the laws and exemptions of your particular state.

Choose To Be A Volunteer

One of the oldest adages known to mankind is from both the Golden Rule and the Christian Bible: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." "It is better to give than receive."

In today's society, those sentiments all too often get shoved aside to pave the way for personal ambition, financial success, instant gratification, and other very self rewarding behaviors we've learned. It's all dog-eat-dog and "me first."

However, humanity hasn't really changed that much: A person's most basic, primal instinct is self-preservation and self-protection.

This is certainly understandable; we are inherently "wired" to hang on, to keep on going, to try harder -- even when the "going" gets tough, as they say.

Euphemisms aside, here's a secret, and it's very, very simple: When you show appreciation for others and give of yourself, you will reap innumerable pleasurable benefits -- for yourself, of course -- but more, much more importantly, for the other person or people we're affecting.

Why? Here's another easy answer: Our second most basic instinct is simply this: to help others.

Sure, the world's a mess -- depending on how you look at it. Perspective changes everything, and when you DO change your perspective, say, from negative to positive, you won't believe the effects it will have on both your mental and physical
well-being.

When's the last time you visited a elderly person? Remember, if we're lucky, we're all going to be "elderly" someday. Can you recall how you felt while you were in this person's presence? Can you remember thinking, "I want to make this person happy; nothing else really matters right now"?

Or when you drop a dollar in the blind man's tin bucket as he plays guitar on the street, don't you feel more humble, more a part of the world around you, and closer to everyone, in that one moment? When's the last time a really simple act of kindness on your behalf nearly brought tears to your eyes or gave you a chill?"

Those moments are precious to our very spirit, because they fulfill part of our reason to be here: to switch channels from the "me" category and, even just for a moment, appreciate the light and happiness we can bring to others -- simply by paying attention to them, and simply by sharing who we are with who they are. It's often also said that "No man is an island." John Donne was right. We aren't meant to live alone; that's why there are so many of us!

Giving can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life. Volunteering has a positive effect on your community AND yourself.

One last hint: Don't assume that what would be rewarding to you is going to automatically be rewarding to others. Some people like amusement parks, others like opera. Some like fast food, others are vegetarian. Some people crave time off, others want recognition. You get the picture. Instead of spending money and energy into doing something for someone that they may not like or appreciate, just give of yourself. That's the only priceless gift.

Children Across The Country Help New Orleans Students

As workers in New Orleans use bricks and mortar to rebuild the city, Lego is joining the efforts by asking children and parents across the nation to donate Lego bricks for schools and students in New Orleans. The company will match every Lego brick donated to the cause with a new Lego brick.

The rebuilding efforts in New Orleans are under way but locals say there is still a need for more help, especially for the schools. More than 70 percent of schools in New Orleans were damaged by Hurricane Katrina and now just seven of the city's 117 public schools remain open. The school district used to employ 3,500 but has been forced to cut its staff to just 300 people. Several displaced students are now in charter schools, but access to supplies and funding can be limited.

As the community rebuilds, it's crucial for attention to remain on returning normalcy to the lives of children affected by the disaster. Time to play and create is something every child needs, especially the children of New Orleans. But playtime is not just fun time, it's also very important in helping children learn, socialize and develop creative thinking skills that will help them throughout their lives. Teachers across the country are finding it more and more challenging to incorporate creative free play into classroom time, a challenge made even more difficult by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.

"We want to inspire children and families everywhere to stay mindful of this massive undertaking, but also to contribute in a playful way to a program that provides opportunities for children in New Orleans to imagine, learn and have fun, all the while knowing their peers across the country care about their well-being," said Michael McNally of Lego Systems.

In addition to collecting Lego bricks to donate to schools, a large replica of New Orleans in the future will be built using ideas that kids send in with their donations. The structure will be donated to The Arts Council of New Orleans. Along with their brick donations, children are asked to send drawings, photos or notes describing something they think would help New Orleans regain its strength as it rebuilds. Each idea will be considered for the structure.

"We are still surveying the devastation to public art following Hurricane Katrina," said Mary Len Costa, Director of Public Art, The Arts Council of New Orleans. "We are thrilled to receive a structure made of Lego bricks that we can display for all to see the possibility of a bright future for this great city," added Costa.

Response has already been strong, with individual households contributing to the cause, as well as teachers creating a classroom activity around the donation and scout troops and other community organizations getting involved.

Each child who donates one or more Lego bricks will receive a studded rubber wristband to recognize his or her contribution to the cause. Donations will be accepted through September 30th.

Checklist Before Starting a Home Based Business

When you are looking for a home business opportunity, it is important to make sure that you are aware of all that you will be required to bring to the equation. This can help save you a lot of confusion and money by avoiding opportunities that require too much from you to get started. Here is a checklist of thing that you should consider before selecting a home business opportunity.

1. Do you need to get a license to run the business? Many states require that businesses get a license before they are allowed to open. This includes home businesses in many locations. Check with your local government agencies to see what you will need to have in place to start your own home business.

2. Do you need a zoning permit? If you have a home business opportunity that requires doing actual business with the public, you are going to need to make sure that you will not be in violation of any zoning laws. Most cities have very strict residential zoning requirements and it is not hard to violate them. Make sure that the type of business you want to start will be acceptable to run at your current location.

3. How much equipment will you need to buy? You’ll need to know exactly how much money you’re going to have to spend to get your business operational. While some home business opportunities require just a computer, others may need a special printer, extra software, additional gadgets or even heavy equipment. This can add up in a short period of time. Make sure that you are aware of all the expenses that you will incur before you start up.

4. Do you have enough space in your home to devote to your business? Running an informational company is one thing, but if you are going to be stocking products in your home, you’re going to need enough space. For tax purposes, you’re also going to have to have a room that is completely devoted to your home business. This means no kid’s toys, or anything from your normal family life can intrude on this room. If you don’t have this kind of space you may need to add on to your home to accommodate your business.

5. Will you need to purchase any insurance? If you are doing business with the public at your home, you will need to get liability insurance. This will help protect you if anyone falls on your property or injures themselves in anyway. If you will be storing products, you will need to have them insured in case there is a flood or they get damaged in any way.

Lastly, you may want to consider business protection insurance that will help you in the event of any copyright infringement claims or other common complaints. Don’t forget your own health insurance, or any insurance that you may need to provide for employees. This can add up quickly and increase your overall start up costs.

Charity Wristbands

Confused about how to support a cause you passionately believe in? Go for charity wristbands as they are the latest buzz in the field of promoting a cause for charity. Wristbands are mostly small loops of laminated or plastic paper placed around the forearm.

The charity wristbands give instant recognition to fight for a cause indeed. The wristbands can be used for many purposes such as to make a statement, for identification and to support any charity cause. Charity wristbands have become hugely popular these days to represent different causes. There are different types of popular charity wristbands among the public today.

Mostly the wristbands are made up of cheap silicon and rubber materials, so they are not costly at all. People may want to support many cause at times but may not be in a condition to do so financially. The wristbands are the perfect option for such people as they can easily afford to buy them and lend money to fight for the cause. Most wristbands come under $5. This can be easily afforded by anybody. If you buy the bands in a large number, there are many companies which offer discount on such purchases.

Charity wristbands come in different colors and designs. They can also have different types of designs and writings embossed on them. There are some charity wristbands which are famous worldwide. The most recognized charity wristband is the yellow band sold by Lance Armstrong Foundation. In fact the trend of charity wristbands was started by the foundation itself. Lance Armstrong is a cyclist and he survived cancer to win the most prestigious tournament in cycling. Tour De France is the most premium cycling event and he won it for a record 7 times.

Another widely recognized wristband is the white band for ‘make poverty history’. The cause is supported by many celebrities like Elton John and Bono, lead singer of U2 band. The pink wristband for supporting breast cancer is also very well known by the public. Ever since Australian pop diva Kylie Minogue has been diagnosed with breast cancer, the sale of the pink wristbands has witnessed a dramatic rise.

Celebrities endorsing a particular charity cause and taking up wearing the wristband hugely boosts public opinion about the cause. Leading footballers like Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney wear the black and white wristband to promote the cause of combating racism.

The charity band which you choose for a particular cause must be appealing to the public. The cause must be hugely publicized by the media with the involvement of celebrities. This is the one way by which people can show support for a cause. Public awareness and support for a cause is very important if you want to really fight for the cause. The band can be sued as a fashion accessory or to raise fund for a cause. The funds collected by selling the bands can be used to fund research works for finding solutions to particular causes.

Sport a charity wristband and lend your support to any cause which you deeply feel for. This will give you immense satisfaction.

Casinos ou Culture, Singapour Attire les Touristes

Depuis que Singapour a réduit ses exportations de composants électroniques, cette dernière cherche aujourd'hui a développer son activité touristique pour compenser. Pour cela Singapour mise sur ses casinos et jeux vidéo importés.
Selon le co-fondateur de Lonely Planet Guides, si Disneyland a réussi  travers le monde à s'imposer et à réunir chaque jour des millions de touristes, la Chine peut espérer alors prospérer grâce à ses casinos.

Toutefois, Singapour dispose d'un important handicape: elle n'a pas de Angkor Wat ou de Taj Mahal comme investisseur. Depuis longtemps, cette ville est surtout réputée pour ses innombrables centre commerciaux et ses promotions annuelles "Singapore sales".

Vis-à-vis des étrangers, Singapour dispose d'une image peu flatteuse en matière politique. En effet, elle est surtout connue pour ses passeurs de drogue, son taux important de vandalisme, ses coups d'état politiques et son interdiction de vendre des chewing gum.  Culturellement parlant, son développement a surtout été refreiner par les multiples restrictions dont notamment la liberté d'expression et la censure de films et pièces de théâtre.

Toutefois, avec la nouvelle génération de chinois et l'influence des indiens et autres asiatiques qui commencent à voyager partout à travers le monde, Singapour a commencé à travailler sur le projet de nouvelles attractions, incluant deux nouveaux <a href="http://www.casino-en-ligne-3.com">casinos</a> ou encore un parc sur le thème du Studio Universal, et un équivalent des bateaux mouches français, même si aucun de ces projets n'est particulièrement singapourien.

Ainsi, Singapour se "démocratise" et se modernise avec l'ouverture de clubs et de ciné-clubs où l'on peut voir le film new zélandais Lord of the Rings. De plus, la fameuse société de location de films Blockbuster a ouvert ses portes et l'on y trouve à Singapour nombre de films indiens de Bollywood, afin d'attirer d'avantage de touristes indiens.

Ce même mois, quelques jours auparavant,  Singapour a autorisé les courses automobiles équivalentes aux célèbres Formule 1, espérant ainsi attirer les touristes de l'autre continent. Citigroup, le groupe en charge de ce projet, espère générer un bénéfice compris entre $150 et $200 million par an, et montrer par là même que Singapour a changé.

Mettre un circuit de Formule 1 est une idée brillante mais reste encore loin d'être une idée typiquement nationale, ce qui, au final, risquerait d'enclencher une réaction inverse à l'objectif tant attendu.

Quant aux casinos, ces derniers devraient ressembler à ceux déjà présents à Macau afin d'obtenir un bénéfice de près de $37 milliards de dollars par an.

Face à ce changement radical, la population locale reste sceptique, voir pessimiste.
Pour eux, la mise en place d'un circuit de Formule 1 n'est qu'un moyen d'obtenir une publicité gratuite. Concernant les casinos qui devraient voir le jour d'ici quatre ans, ces derniers se sont réunis pour signer une pétition allant a l'encontre de ce projet, justifiant les méfaits des jeux sur les familles et les joueurs compulsifs, en ajoutant par ailleurs que ce concept attirerait d'avantage la population locale que les touristes.

Des intellectuels et représentants de communautés tels Paul Théroux , romancier et écrivain pour l'équivalent du Guide du Routard, déplorent cet engouement de la part de la ville. Pour eux, Singapour cherche à devenir une ville moderne et effacer toute son histoire et culture, pour faire place à une ville "que l'on trouve partout" , ce qui représenterait également la fin du quartier de Chinatown, célèbre pour ses magasins .

Casinos Most Guarded Secrets

The secrets of the casinos are not the kind of secrets that you may think. They are not secrets like the third slot machine in every row pays out on the hour, they are more like things they do to distract you from the obvious.

One of the biggest secret the casinos do not want you to know is that if you use your head and not act irrationally you can go home with some money in your pockets, unfortunately most people enter a casino and all logic flies right out of their heads. They start seeing the bells and whistles of the casinos, and people with stacks of chips and all they can think of is what they are going to do with all the money they are going to win from the casino.

Using your head is the key to winning money in the casino. The first think you need to remember is that the odds of you winning the big jackpot are so outrageously against you, that it is not worth losing your hard earned money on. So by being smart and not trying to get rich on one spin of the roulette wheel, one toss of the dice at the <a href="http://www.online-casinos-789.com/about-craps.html">Craps</a> table or one go on the slot machine you can consistently win smaller amounts that at the end of the day can a large sum of money.

Next time you are in the casino try going to the 10 dollar Roulette table and only play red or black. Each win you will double your bet, and at 10 dollars a spin you can make 100 dollars in less then 30 minutes. I usually walk up to a table and wait for the wheel to land on the same color 3 times in a row then bet on the other color. Then after I have made some money I will start to play some other bets, but I only stay on the outside of the board. The odds are much better at 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 instead of 40 to 1. Using this method I have managed to turn $20 into $900 in just over 3 hrs. It may not sound like a fortune, but as I said before walking in poor and walking out a millionaire is not realistic.

Next time you are at a casino look for a clock or window. Ok do not waste your time, there are none. Another secret of the casinos is that they want you to have no concept of time. When you are gambling time seems to go faster, and if there were clocks or a window in the casino you would have some idea of how long you have been gambling and would then start to think about leaving the casino instead if losing all track of time and spending all day and night in the casino. They do this because at some point you will start to get tired but be kept awake from the adrenalin from gambling, and at this point you can't think straight, and you will start to spend money faster. Always remember the casinos are not there to make you dreams come true they are there to take you for all your money. Any time you leave the casino with some of the casinos money it was accidental.

Some of the tricks the casinos use to keep you gambling are:
No Windows
No Clocks
Ugly colors in the rugs and walls around the exits, and nice colors around the gamming areas will subliminally make you not want to go to those areas. The worse the odds of you winning the nicer the colors of that area will be.

By keeping this information in mind you will not be going home from the casinos and quitting your job but you will have more money in your pocket and you will have had a good time making that money.

Casino et Football Fsont ils Bon Ménage

En effet, Casino 888.com sponsorisait le FC Toulouse et PartyGaming le FNCA de Nantes! Oui mais voila, c'était sans compter sur la Ligue Professionnelle de Football.

Dimanche dernier, sur les maillots du FC Toulouse, on retrouvait bien les couleurs du casino mais les signes ???.com. Qu'est ce donc ???.com me direz-vous. Il s'agit tout simplement de son sponsor Casino 888.com.

Pourquoi?

Alors que les joueurs ont pour obligation de porter les couleurs et le nom du casino, la Ligue professionnelle a, quant à elle, décidée d'exclure les casinos de la publicité et du sponsoring. D'où l'omission. Or, tout le monde l'aura compris le sigle ??? faisait bien référence au casino sponsor de l'équipe.

La Ligue explique son refus. Du fait de l'arrestation de certains géants de casinos en ligne depuis le mois de septembre, dont le derneir en date de Bwin arreté en France, la ligue se voit le droit d'interdire la publicité, le sponsoring pour les paris en ligne.

Samedi, une autre équipe, la FC Monaco a rencontré le même problème que le FC Toulouse lors de son match face au Mans. Un représentant de l'équipe explique que, sans cette alternative, le coup d'envoi du match n'aurait pu être donné.

On se souvient encore des paroles de Jean-Luc Gripond, vice-président du club nantais, "le FCNA a décidé de s'associer à un nouveau sponsor disposant: "premièrement une dimension internationale, et notre football a besoin de partenaires de cette dimension, deuxièmement un lien avec les nouvelles technologies, ce qui représente pour nous le futur".

Qu'en est il aujourd'hui?

Un enquête a été menée ( voir notre article Bonnes Nouvelles pour les Casinos en Ligne).
Les paris sont monopole d'état en France et on pourrait penser que l'arrestation des cadres de BWin s'est opérée au bénéfice de la Française des jeux. Aussi, peu de temps après, la Commission européenne a décidé de s'intéresser de plus près à la question du monopole d'État pour les paris et les jeux. La volonté de la commission est clairement affichée, soit les États membres les considèrent néfastes pour leurs ressortissants et interdisent totalement les jeux en ligne, soit ils les autorisent et permettent aux sociétés comme 888.com d'offrir leurs services sur le marché.

Casino En Ligne Non Stop: Quels Jeux Jouer

Pour un bref rappel, ces derniers peuvent être répartis en trois catégories. On y distingue les jeux flash, à télécharger ou en direct .
Les jeux de casinos sont les jeux de paris en ligne les plus populaires en raison des gains que l'on peut y remporter. Mais quels sont les plus rentables?

Casinos directement sur server:

Il s'agit de plusieurs sites surlesquels les joueurs et les utilisateurs peuvent jouer aux jeux de casinos tels le Bingo, Black Jack, Baccarat, Poker et bien d'autres encore, ne nécéssitant pas de téléchargement préalable d'un logiciel particulier, puisque ces derniers vous sont proposes sur  Macromedia Flash, Macromedia Shockwave, ou Java, déjà intégrés sur votre browser. Ces derniers sont les plus populaires.

Casinos en Ligne A Télécharger :

 Même principe que le précédent. Toutefois, pour avoir accès aux différents jeux, l'utilisateur doit télécharger le logiciel du casino sur son ordinateur. Bien que la qualité soit généralement meilleure au niveau des graphismes, le téléchargement a pour inconvénient de prendre énormément de place sur le disque dur.
Le logiciel est directement relié au service du casino sans avoir besoin de recourir browser. Ainsi, l'image et le son fonctionnent beaucoup plus rapidement que sur le support relié au server de l'ordinateur. Toutefois, le temps de téléchargement initial peut être très long.

Les casinos "en Direct":

Représentent le top  de casinos en ligne. Ces derniers permettent aux joueurs d'être face à une interface mondiale et directement avec le casino, comme si vous y étiez! Le joueur peut intervenir à tout moment et se confronter n'importe quand à d'autres joueurs et ce sur plusieurs de poker, blackjack et autres  tables grâce à la présence de fenêtres windows.  C qui le différencie des autres? Le joueur a la possibilité de choisir les meilleurs tables, de varier ses plaisirs en cours de parties et de joueur sans se lasser toute la nuit.

On distingue donc les jeux populaires suivants:

Les jeux de cartes:
Asian stud, Baccarat , Blackjack, Casino war, Caribbean Stud Poker, Chinese poker, Faro, Four card poker, Let It Ride, Mambo stud, Pai gow poker, Red Dog, Spanish 21, Texas Hold'em Bonus Poker, Three card poker,  Two-up.
Ces jeux sont généralement considérés comme des jeux de Tables et se jouent sur un tapis feutré. Un croupier est toujours présents pour ces jeux puisque ce dernier est en charge de la distribution des cartes.

Dés:
Craps, Pai Gow,  Sic bo, Chuck-a-luck

Nombres Aléatoires:
Big Six wheel, Roulette,Bingo, Keno et bien d'autres encore.
Ces jeux sont basés sur le fruit du pur hasard.


Sans oublier les fameuses Machines A Sous, les Loteries et les Vidéo Poker. Ces dernières ne peuvent être jouées que par un joueur à la fois et ne demande aucune exigence particulière ni aucune stratégie. C'est pourquoi il est l'un des jeux les plus prisés aussi bien en ligne qu'en cercle virtuel.

Les jeux en ligne cependant offrent aux joueurs des avantages à long terme supérieurs à ceux offerts par des casinos réels et leur donnent la sensation de toujours garder le contrôle sur leurs jeux et d'être responsable de leurs choix.

Casino en Ligne en Toute Securite

Tout le monde souhaite être rassuré lorsqu'il commence à jouer sur un site de < a href="http://www.casino-en-ligne-3.com">casino en ligne</a> pour le fun ou pour de l'argent. En effet, qui ne s'est jamais posé les questions suivantes: " en ouvrant un compte sur ce casino, que va-t-il m'arriver? Les systèmes de paiements et les transactions via ma carte de crédit sont ils fiables? Comment m'en assurer?"

La sécurité reste donc l'élément essentiel à prendre en compte par le joueur avant d'effectuer quelque pari que ce soit.

Comment donc pouvoir jouer en toute tranquillité? Les casinos virtuels ont donc mis en place des logiciels de cryptage afin de préserver la confidentialité de vos données bancaires personnelles. Les numéros de cartes de crédit

Les casinos en ligne sécurisés prennent des mesures pour protéger leurs joueurs. Certains sites Web utilisent des logiciels de cryptage pour protéger vos informations financières et ont pour éthique de préserver vos données personnelles.
Assurez vous donc de la fiabilité du site!
Pour cela, vérifiez que le site dispose d'une charte de présentation, généralement connue sous la dénomination " Qui sommes nous?" et contrôlez son évaluation par des sites professionnels.

Prenez le temps de lire chaque page du site concernant les moyens de paiement mis en place, les logiciels utilisés mais aussi la disponibilité de leur service client, que vous pouvez également testez au préalable en les contactant pour un problème fictif et déterminer ainsi leur temps de réaction  sur le casino dans lequel vous voulez vous inscrire.


Les casinos en ligne les plus sécurisés sont les sites les mieux établis et reconnus par une instance officielle. Consultez la fréquentation d'un site donné et vérifiez les affiliations du site. Les sites réputés sont plus populaires et plus sûrs.


Après ce premier contrôle, vérifiez que le site dispose de services non proposés par des casinos en ligne de mauvaise réputation. Assurez-vous que le casino propose une assistance client par chat, email ou téléphone non facturé. Dans le cas contraire, rendez vous sur un autre site.<br>
Vérifiez aussi que ce casino dispose d'un contrôle et d'une politique à l'encontre de joueurs frauduleux. Certains sites dispose d'un système évaluant le nombre de fois où deux joueurs jouent au même jeu. En cas de suspicion de tricherie,  le site interdit la présence de ces derniers  à vie. Si vous suspectez une tricherie, contactez le site web immédiatement.


Dans le cas où un site ne vous indique pas clairement quel logiciel est utilisé pour préserver vos informations personnelles ou n'offre pas d'assistance, sortez immédiatement. Inutile de prendre des risques inutiles. En cas de problèmes de déconnexion répétées ou vous semblant suspectes, renseignez vous d'avantage. Inutile de se presser, beaucoup d'informations sont à votre disposition mais prenez surtout le temps de les lire toutes. Pour cela, commencer en simultané de votre lecture à jouer en parties gratuites, le temps pour vous d'effectuer tous les contrôles nécessaires et de vous familiariser avec le site en question.

Casino En Ligne: Decouvrez l'Histoire des Jeux Video de Casino

Compte tenu de l'imprécision de la définition même du jeu vidéo, sa date d'apparition n'est pas claire. Ce loisir aurait débuté, après divergences et débats de spécialistes, dès 1962 avec Spacewar.  Pong reste cependant le premier jeu dont le concept fut le déclencheur de la vidéo mania.

Jusqu'en 1983, celle-ci connaît une effervescence puis un déclin incontestable. Avec le développement des technologies au Japon, celle-ci revient sous les feux de la rampe en 1985 avec ses premières consoles NINTENDO et les fameux jeux de la série Super Mario ou Mario Bros.

Mais cette technologie de jeux vidéo s'applique également dans le domaine des jeux de <a href="http://www.gambling-portal.com/casino-en-ligne.html">casinos en ligne</a> ou en cercle reel.

En effet, on y retrouve les fameuses bornes d'arcades.En cercle réel, une salle leur est tout particulierement consacrée.

Un jeu d'arcade se trouve  dans une machine munie d'un monnayeur, d'un écran et d'un dispositif de contrôle. Ils ont la particularité d'être payants, on achète un ou plusieurs crédits en glissant une ou plusieurs pièces dans le monnayeur. Selon les jeux et les réglages, chaque crédit permet de démarrer une partie, la continuer après avoir perdu, acheter des bonus dans le jeu, le joueur doit apprécier au maximum un jeu d'arcade dès le début car une partie ne dure généralement que 5 ou 6 minutes au contraire des jeux virtuels où une partie peut durer plusieurs heures d'affilées.

Les jeux d'arcades au sein des casinos sont: Le Bonus Bowling, Jour de Derby, Dés Tourbillon, Pile ou face, Fléchettes Jackpot, Keno, Jackpot Génie Haut Bas, Mégaball, Tir de pénalité, Pop Bingo, Dés et Montagne russe, roue gagnante,Video Poker, Quilles payantes, Poker slots, Génie Haut Bas, Tour du Monde,  Roche papier Ciseaux, Kéno Expérience.

On trouve ces  jeu vidéo en ligne généralement sous une version 3D, avec bruitage et effets sonores et couleurs flash.

Après plusieurs crises principalement dues à une baisse de la qualité des productions, le jeu vidéo s'est rapidement hissé à un rang d'activité majeure. L'économie créée autour de cette pratique a eu des conséquences notables sur notre société. La montée en puissance des ordinateurs et la rentabilité de la loi de Moore peut être en grande partie expliquée par le fait que les personnes qui sont le plus enclin à acheter un matériel informatique neuf et souvent rénové sont principalement des joueurs ; la bureautique et la navigation sur internet étant des activités requérant de faibles ressources matérielles. Pour cette raison, les fabriquants de matériel informatique (cartes graphiques, cartes audio…) ont très tôt sponsorisé les compétitions de jeu vidéo.
