As you may know already every ticket will bring with it the pleasure of paying some taxes. That value can range from several dozen to several hundred euros if we talk about intercontinental flights. Some of these fees go to various authorities and another part into the pockets of the airline.
Lately more and more cases are the charges far exceed the air ticket fare. A quick example is 9 euros Tarom offer in which case the fees (I hope I remember correctly) were on at 80 euros.
Considering crisis the companies are trying to find as many sources of income, which brings us to today's topic: What we will pay to the airline ticket fees attached? We need to pay for the luggage, we need to pay the airport taxes, we need to pay for the ticket and the list can go on. Another good example of how the airport taxes make the traveling more expensive is an offer an air company had a while ago, for flights Timisoara - London with only 28 euros, but adding the taxes the total price paid by the customer was up to 40 euros!
Surely we`re not moving on the right direction with this kind of offers that may trick some that take flights in order to reach other cities too rare to notice how the market evolves. It would be nice if some air companies will create a package, with all taxes included - on the ticket. So you buy the ticket online, directly, you use it for everything an not worry about anything else. Yet, at this time the only offers that can be a match to the aforementioned example are just the touristic ones. Surprise! We`re also traveling for personal or business purposes, not just on holidays.
Tricks to buy fresh eggs
Shake the egg, before you decide you want to buy it : if it strikes the walls of the egg yolk, making a sound like "click - clack" means that the board has developed too much, allowing air and the egg is not very fresh. Element determining the freshness of an egg is just the density of the air that develops inside the egg shell: less air inside, the egg is more fresh.
Another trick that shows when the egg is fresh is sinking it in the water: if it remains at the bottom of the water recepient it means that the egg is fresh, if it sinks but it has the top headed up, it means that the egg is one week old, while if it floats on water the egg may be too old or even rotter, so its not a good choice to try and cook it.
Eggs are used in different recipes, some more exotic, some more traditional, but have always been a staple food for most countries in the world, due to protein components. Consumption of eggs should not be but in abuse, because it can cause various diseases

Ketchup`s origins
Ketchup was not invented by the americans, as they want us to believe. Ketchup sauce, very appreciated in the fast food sites worldwide, has Chinese origins: in China in 1600 there was a fishy flavor widespread named Ke Tsiap or Kecap. It was too spicy sauce for a European taste buds. So, when Englishmen were exported to the mother country, they have custom kitchens component introduced in the sauce : nuts and mushrooms.
In 1700, the Americans crashed composition as the main ingredient recipe using tomatoes. The recipe used today is thanks to Henry J. Heinz (owner of the company with the same name), which in 1876 increased the proportion of vinegar and sugar in ketchup's composition and added onions and flavorings, so that today we have the ketchup as we know it.
Based on the original recipe created in 1876, now we can taste ketchup created by different producers, each adding its own flavorings to make it special, developing on entire industry. Few of the most common consumed foods that taste better with ketchup include french fries and pizza ( both European recipe ). If we are to rewise all facts, a former Chinese sauce was transformed by the Englishmen, so that it can be transformed into ketchup by the Americans, while its consumed with French or Italian original food.

Hessdalen phenomenon lights
Hessdalen is a valley in Norway, where there live no more than 200 people. In this valley, many years, a phenomenon manifested itself, which until this time did not have an explanation. The sky is seen, actually, with a certain frequency ,a strange lights, which take different forms (although the most common is the globe), sizes and colors. The lights can be fixed or intermittent, or moving buildings, fixed air, the mountains or on the ground. Their duration can be from several seconds to several minutes. The reality of this phenomenon is attested by eyewitnesses, but also by the photographs taken, coated or analysis of radio waves.
For over the years have given different explanations, but most are finding that it comes to aliens. Scientists who went to Hessdalen and have studied the phenomenon say that there may be physical manifestations plasma or piezoelectric. Piezoelectricitatea is the property of certain materials present in the soil (especially crystals), generate a potential difference, if they are subjected to mechanical forces: compression, stretching or breaking. This can cause the lights, or may be concentrations of power, which produces light at certain times. But do not exclude correlation with sun activity (spots and solar wind) in the presence of radon gas present in low atmosphere. Many assumptions that make this mystery to be elucidated.

Most spam comes from US, Romania and Brazil
At the end of the first quarter of 2009, Romania was placed in the top three sources of spam, with a total of 5.8% of all spam. The first places are occupied by the U.S. (11.6%) and Brazil (11.5%). In the first three months, less than 7% of all messages were legal, 91% were spam and the remaining 2% were infected messages with various types of malware, according to Revista IT, a romanian publication had handles such information.
The study was conducted by security company representatives "Panda Antivirus", which analyzed 69 million e-mail. The amount of spam increased slightly in the months January to March compared to the same period last year, when spam accounted for 89% of the number of messages received by companies.
Most of these messages were transmitted through networks "zombie" (known as "botnet"), that computers infected with programs that allow hackers to take control of them and use them as a host of activities such as the transmission of spam to other computers. This is one of the main reasons that antivirus and anti spyware companies have been developing intensly on protecting computers from direct injection from the web pages or emails, since infections cause the development of a chain that eventually loses its starting point.
One of the simplest way of beeing protected from this kind of spam message or mailware emails is to use a powerful system for reading and sending email, something like Yahoo! Mail or Google Mail, which have auto-protection enabled.

Small segment citadinelor invaded the American market, which is why the automaker thought it should capture this opportunity. Yet, the group needs to keep eyes open on the american whises, that require lots of confort, a low consumption car and lots of interior features, like info-navi and entertaiment tools. Even a simple push-on-display CD player would count on the final decision of the buyer.
So, as Carlos Tavares, president of Nissan America, said, the Auto Show in Detroit will present two models for U.S. entry-level, which will be positioned around the rate amount of $ 10,000, which is not that much for an average american consumer. Yet, they will also have to facilitate financial benefits, including deal with some banks or dealerships. This is possibly one of the reasons they are showcasing the new Nissan models right in the Detroit showroom.
These cars will share the platform with the next Nissan Micra V and will be assembled at a factory in Mexico. The same plant will have developed a third model to be sold on markets in South America.

9-5 and 9-3 will no longer be produced ?
The automotive domain will suffer lost of the rummours prove to be true and the 9-5 and 9-3 from Saab will no longer be produced, if Saab will be closed by GM. It would be shame to lose the launch of the new 9-5, since one factory has been fully equipped and developed especially for this model and the sum invested is huge.
Probably, the only way Saab will continue to "live" is if General Motors decide to accept one of the offers received for the brand and its factories. The technology owned by Saab is impressive and till recently they were considered a luxury brand, that sold cars just to a specific set of customers, that new how to handle a powerful, yet confortable car.
One of the most impressive achievements by Saab was developing an engine able to propelow a car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds on a serie model that sold quite well. The car had a great acceleration on second and third gear, allowing it to be transformed into a real beast on short distances, compared to other similar models.
General Motors had hired to legal representative to liquidate the brand Saab, so the only way the swedish brand will live further is if some of the companies interested in buying it will manage to fulfill their goals.

BMW X5 and X6
Passionate about powerful cars, the BMW managers created two models which are very close regarding engine power, interior design, fuel consuption and other info and entertainement features, yet with a different exterior design. The BMW X5 is a bit more classical, looking like a true 4x4 ( allthough it is not quite a car you would like to drive off road ), while the BMW X6 looks like a coupe on bigger wheels. Yet, both models have a lot of supporters, in the media and in the buyers market, if we are to compare the sales of those two superb cars in 2009, a year that was suppose to bring us in an recession.
This year the BMW management released an info regarding a new set of engines for both models of cars. We`re talking about a sixth cilinder, diesel engine, you could previously find only in 7 Series and more specific on 740d F01 models. So, the 3.0 engine will fire up 300 CP si 600 Nm and will be available on the showroom in March, this year.
There are not that much info on how the buyers will react to these new set of engines or any other technical data, so we`ll have to wait for the official release, in March. Yet, we have a history to compare to. The former BMW 740d engine had the ability to launch off the car from 0 lato00 km/h in just 6.3 seconds.

Audi A1 to a new category of customers
In the autumn of this year we`ll have in showrooms the new Audi A1, a city - model with is somehow unexpected from a brand that produces and sells mostly powerful cars. The lowest model produced by Audi is the A2, which is not quite a beautiful car, as some may say, yet is has been practical in the city and very economical due to low fuel consumption.
The new Audi A1 will be in the same auto class as the Chevrolet Spark, which is one of the cheapest and most sold cars in Europe at this time, the Peugeout 107 and Citroen C1. The car should be appealing for a new category of customers, the ones that prefere a small car for the cities, but would still like to keep on driving their prefered brand, so that on later stages they can move on to a bigger and more expensive model, as Peter Schwarzenbauer, the marketing direct of Audi suggested.
Audi A1 will borrow lots of design elements from its elder brothers, but will allow to customers to enjoy some new features, not released in any of the current Audi models. As expected, the Audi A1 will be a low fuel consumption car, easy to park, with Start&Stop system on and some other navigation info and entertainement tools in the default model.

The new Audi A1 will be in the same auto class as the Chevrolet Spark, which is one of the cheapest and most sold cars in Europe at this time, the Peugeout 107 and Citroen C1. The car should be appealing for a new category of customers, the ones that prefere a small car for the cities, but would still like to keep on driving their prefered brand, so that on later stages they can move on to a bigger and more expensive model, as Peter Schwarzenbauer, the marketing direct of Audi suggested.
Audi A1 will borrow lots of design elements from its elder brothers, but will allow to customers to enjoy some new features, not released in any of the current Audi models. As expected, the Audi A1 will be a low fuel consumption car, easy to park, with Start&Stop system on and some other navigation info and entertainement tools in the default model.

Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 VTi - now this is something
Here is a tricky one : why do some hate french cars ? Renault, Citroen, Peugeot make nice cars, great designs and most of them have good engines. Their only big problem is the auto parts costs, which is very high ( this is one of the reasons french don`t go do auto service too much, they prefer buying another car ), but else, the french models are quite nice.
One model that is indeed special is the new Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 VTi - you can check out the looks of this car and I am sure I do not have to say anything about the engine. A small car with such a powerful engine is like a miniatural beast, you won`t even know when it bites you. Many have rated the engine of the Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 VTi with a 7, on a scale from one to ten, but I would have went one grade higher, up to an eight.
Fuel consumption is not that great though, but you cannot make an agresive car with low fuel consumption, unless you`re japaneese. Here is where I would grade the car with a five. Now we`ll move on to the interior, which I would like to describe it in just one word : fantastic! Ten out of ten, if you`ll ask me and that is really great for a french car that uses a lot of plastic when designing the inside.
Quality price report is allright. Its not expensive for what it has to offer. The starting price for a Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 VTi is 11.990 euro with VAT included, which is not that much comparable with, lets say, an Opel Meriva. The only serious competition regarding this report would be the Ford Fusion, but some would not choose the second one because of the dull design.

The new Ford Focus, 2010 Edition
I know this is a moment you have all been eager about : the launch of the latest model created by Ford, the new Focus, 2010 edition. Ford Focus is one of the most popular cars in Europe, gaining a lot of customers due to the low price, low taxes and low fuel consumptions, while offering a cool design, stability and, if needed, even power. It is not a sport car, yet it can go RS quite fast, if we are to compare the differenced between the standard version of the new Ford Focus and the old RS version.
The new Ford Focus will be launched in Detroit today ( 11 January 2010 ), being presented globally. The new Focus will have the same design and same engines for United States and Europe, unlinke the older versions, this possibly due to some analytical data telling that the tastes on this type of cars for europeans and americans are not that different.
The new generation of Ford Focus will be created simultaniosly in Saarlouis in Germany, in Michigan ( United States of America ) and in Chongqing (China), but soon after the first cars will be produced in the aforementioned locations, Ford will release the design in Russia and also Spain. Focus will be "in sales" starting from 2011.

New ERP sollution by Microsoft
Retailers just got a new brand sollution from one of the biggest ( if not the biggest ) company handling ERP software, Microsoft. The aforementioned company is diving more and more into this marketing, trying to get control over what is sold to most of the companies in managind their internal resources. ERP states for enterprise resource planning and it`s basicly a way for companies to keep track of what is happening "inside" their house.
Dynamics AX for Retail consists of core AX ERP functionality, along with technology Microsoft acquired earlier this year. Personally I am not sure if this sollution will bring a lot of new features, since Microsoft have already some softwares that fit perfectly for retailers and some of them will see no reasons in buying a new, extremly expensive license just for the fun of it. Why replace something that still works just fine ?
Maybe one of the way Microsoft will make part of the actuall clients change to their new product is by offering a set of discounts and by cutting off support on the old application, even if it`s still functional whitout many breaking points. Yet, the new customers may need a lot of work on persuation. But, as in other cases, Microsoft partners will probably be doing this part of the task, also. Microsoft partners have traditionally played a key role in its ERP strategy, providing customizations and additional features on top of the core ERP application, but also handle the promotion and even sales of the new products.
I guess there is nothing else to do but to wait and and see how the retaillers will react to this new face in ERP softwares world.

Google getting some of the China Market
Chineese market was one the few that Google had not taken control over with its search engine and its applications. And there are many voices that suggest Google will not be able to do that in the future, because of the power Baidu supporters have over IT networks and ISPs. Also, recent attacks over Google`s servers were another pull back for the management of the company, still they decided to continue investing and developing for the chineese market.
Last year Google owned 30% of the market, which was very low, compared to Baidu`s 68%, yet they seem to have a strategy that works in these hard, economical speaking, times and gain more and more each month, having during the second half of 2009 a share of the market equal to 43%, while Baidu went down to 56%. All the statistical data was offered by StatCounter.
Aodhan Cullen, the StatCounter CEO stated that "Our analysis suggests that given Google's recent strong performance, market share is certainly not the reason behind its threat to leave China at this time." , so its likely to see Google diving even more into not that well known online territory of China. Google and Baidu are miles ahead of Yahoo and Bing in China's search market, as those two also-rans have combined for just 1.18%, according to StatCounter.
Wonder if any analytical data company is adventurous enough to make some predictions on how the end of 2010 and will look for Baidu, for now, still greatest search engine in China

Video content is the new wave ?
Going over Youtube`success, have you ever noticed how the media content is the new most wanted and most promoted content on the web ? Informations are still there, but you can have them in different ways, not just in a simple web page, with few lines of design. Now you can add an entire photo gallery into a single article, making the page a lot more interactive. A simple module that will allow the user to browse the images in a light and flashy way can cost you a between 100 and 400 kb extra to a webpage and will probabil improve the user experience, giving you the option of making him loyal to your site.
Many reports suggested that ugly sites do better than prettier ones, because they base more on the application that supports the site and not on the frontend, but we tend to belive that a combination between these two make it more attractive for the user. Its nice to a have an ajax based search that will display the results instantly, without reloading the page, than to have a reload for each option that you need to configure to make the search more close to your required results.
So, we talked a lot about the display of the page and how some simple application will improve user experience, now it is time to talk about how video content has affected the market in the last couple of years, since new video sharing portals have developed fast and the internet connections provided to the public users have become more powerful and stable.
When your ISP provides you a strong internet line, there is no problem watching videos online, sharing videos with frieds, even through out social networks like facebook, myspace or hi5, not to mention the use on IM clients like Yahoo! Messenger or Skype or creating your own music playlist directly on such a video sharing portal. You are all backed up by the strong internet connection, so you are using it fully to fit you needs and to have fun at the power of a click. Definately you can see most of the new sites developing using video content, even if the editorial content is there too. Some news sites have used their users to record the news in a video format, display it on the article page and below the article to add the transcript of the recorded version, offering the users the possibility to find the article page in Search Engines like Google or Yahoo!. Except that, each such article page has a special box for comments that allows also the inclusion of video or images, a thing that will make the pages even more interactive : why not share your own version of the news, if that is possible ?
Also, the video or audio players have become more and more advanced, offering you the option of displaying them everywhere in your site, either as an embed or as a full templating code. You can add the player in the bottom of the site, in the sidebar, in the header, rolling down with the scroll, being opac, having some transparency and other cool features. Is the video content the new wave ? We this so!
