Total loss of jobs in refining and petrochemicals?

Chance, you say random?

TOTAL While currently struggling with justice in the context of a request for appearance at trial involved the AZF disaster, unions of the oil company stated Thursday that their direction was to announce on March 10 a plan for adapting the refinery in France "and a" consolidation plan "of petrochemicals.

The program of "festivities" could have several hundred job cuts.

If at the present time, TOTAL has confirmed that a central council for its refining marketing activity, no further details have apparently been given.

The CGT and CFDT annoncent already on it is extraordinary that CEC also proclaimed March 10 for Total Petrochemicals.

In a communiqué, the GCC states that with regard to refining, "200 to 300 job cuts are planned, with more closures of manufacturing units within the group of French refineries. These measures would be accompanied by a plan to safeguard employment, which still to be negotiated.

According to the union, the group justified its decision by "the increased surplus of gasoline in Europe" next "to drastic reduction in exports to the United States", which is induced by the economic and financial crisis raging throughout the world.

The secretary of the CEC, Total Petrochemicals, Aldo Scalzo (CGT), for its part, fears dozens of layoffs in the industry. He fears that the industrial sites of Carling (Moselle), Gonfreville (Seine-Maritime) and Notre-Dame-de-Gravenchon (Seine-Maritime) are particularly affected.

For the record, the plant of Our Lady of Gravenchon is the third largest European producer of secondary butanol and the only producer in France. This product is primarily used for the manufacture of Methyl Ethyl Ketone, intermediate for the manufacture of solvents.

According TOTAL Gonfreville plant receives for its integration of a regional industrial fabric. Its production covers the basic petrochemicals (ethylene, propylene, butadiene, butene, benzene, styrene ...) and polymers (polyethylene high and low density, polypropylene and polystyrene). They represent about 15% of plastic widely made in France.

The site of Carling-Saint-Avold enjoys a strategic location, within a hub of industrial Europe. A pipeline connecting its facilities to most refineries Total. Its activities range from basic petrochemicals (ethylene, propylene, methane, styrene) plastics mass (polyethylene and polystyrene). Many industrial partners from all sectors, the site is a major player in the local economy.

Meanwhile, the CFDT reported that the direction of refining is certainly "reassuring" by announcing "significant investment, social model", without closing sites ... Nevertheless, by failing to specify the "consequences" on subcontracting.

Angola / oil decreased production in line with OPEC decisions

The message is clear: Angola following the instructions of OPEC - which it currently holds the Presidency - as regards the production cuts. Message all the more important that the time of the next meeting of the cartel is approaching fast ...

Wednesday, Manuel Vicente, chairman of the oil company Songangol indicated that Angola would reduce the volume extracted in 2009, the latter amounting to date to about 2 mb / d in 2008.

We now expect 2009 production of 1656 mb / d, has said Vicente. While adding that the Songangol net income was $ 2.9 billion in 2008, up 30% compared to 'last year. This will enable the company to pursue its plans for a new refinery and development of its investments in Portugal, particularly in the Millennium Bank, which it already holds 10%.

However, despite these achievements, the financial crisis led Songangol to push its plans to introduce on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and New York.

If in 2008, Angola was competing with Nigeria to climb on the podium as the first oil producer in Africa, with production reaching a range between 1.9 to 2 mb / d, OPEC now seems somewhat slow its impulses. It remains to be seen however, whether such decisions are not also "justified" by an eventual decline in oil reserves in the country. And / or a necessary rise in the price of a barrel to finance exploration work more expensive ...

Remember, the country's recoverable reserves are estimated at 9 Gb (gigabarils), not counting the ultra-deep offshore not yet rated. Gas reserves are estimated at 300 billion m3 (BCM), for the moment. Oil companies rely on a production of 3 to 4 million b / d from 2015.

In late January, Angola had indicated that he would convene an extraordinary meeting of cartel if crude prices fell below $ 40 a barrel. The OPEC is scheduled to meet in March but it is "possible" that its members must work together earlier, had said the minister of oil.

Blockade of a subcontractor of PSA Aulnay

If car manufacturers were hard hit by the crisis, it is the same for their subcontractors. Which could be the soft touch of the plan for automobile implemented by government and manufacturers.

It is in this extremely tense as the CGT subcontractor automotive MA France in Aulnay-sous-Bois in the Paris region, called the employees Wednesday to block the plant. The origin of their action and they want to protest against "the will of PSA to recover a portion of production in favor of its own factories."

Remember that the site of France in Aulnay MA, ex-Magnetto Automotive is a factory stamping sheet metal car.

If the direction of A. France told news agencies to be unaware of the strike, a spokesman for PSA has also wished to clarify that it was expected "any transfer of activity since MA France.

However, if we believe Adelkarim Dehak, CGT union representative MA France, PSA would move 30 to 40% of production at the site for its plants in Poissy (Yvelines) and Rennes (Ille-et-Vilaine ). His goal? Y "maintain employment in accordance with commitments made to the State", as the union representative.

But such measures directly affecting employment in the sub-contractor, may even lead to a decrease of employment close to 50% on a workforce of 360 persons golbal.

"Part of our machines is for PSA, we are located in the heart of PSA Aulnay and we work almost exclusively for SAP," says Adelkarim Dehak. But the commitments made by PSA with the government only to their employees .... even though the subcontractors.

To recall, the government announced in early February the assistance of 7.8 billion euros in aid for the automotive crisis, including 6 billion of loans at preferential rates for Renault and PSA Peugeot Citroen. Counterparties: Commitments on maintaining production in France.

"The situation is the same in other companies in automotive subcontracting, we also intend to unite our efforts and joint action, on Friday before the PSA headquarters in Paris", also said the union.

Mr. Dehak, nearly 3,000 to 4,000 jobs are threatened in the long term, in all sub-contractors, the equivalent number of persons employed at the plant of PSA Aulnay, he says ...

In early February, employees of several auto suppliers (Continental, Faurecia, Lear ...) have called for a moratorium on job cuts or a better compensation for partial unemployment, after announcing a plan of 7.8 billion 'EU aid to the automobile sector.
Staff representatives of the automotive supplier Faurecia seats have voted unanimously a motion calling for a moratorium of the restructuring plan which foresees the abolition of 1215 posts in 2009-2011, finding that the project "calls into question irreversibly the design and production of Faurecia car seat in France. "

A Foix, between 150 and 200 employees of the manufacturer Continental demonstrated outside the factory for compensation to 100% of unemployment, and against a draft voluntary departures.

Canadian banks well positioned

Investment - The five major Canadian banks are in very good position to face the financial storm and the deterioration of the economy, according to a report by rating agency DBRS.

According to the agency, the levels of capital cost of major banks and the resilience of the retail banking sector, which continues to generate profits, guarantee the robustness of long-term credit ratings of Canadian financial institutions.

The big banks should continue to be under pressure from some of their main business. For example, DBRS cited low consumer confidence should continue to oppose the borrowing households.

"With the continued uncertainty in the markets and volatility increasingly important in capital markets, particularly in equity markets, we anticipate that management will lower earnings in 2009," says the report.

DBRS also expects that the major banks losses in their provisions for losses on loan portfolios in 2009.

The trials of the Fund will have an impact on everyone

Investment - While the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Quebec (CDPQ) announced a negative return of almost 25%, some are concerned about the impact that these results will have on investors, employers and pensioners in the medium and longer term.

"If contributions increase, there will be less involved in the budgets of individuals for the creation of an independent pension fund through RRSPs or other investments," says Leo Lemoine, president and spokesman of RICIFQ .

"Today, the adage that says not to rely on government for retirement planning makes sense, he adds. In the same vein, it is more relevant than ever to tell our customers that we should not put all your eggs in one basket and always go for the investment which has seen years of huge returns. "

But in conditions where savings can be made more difficult because of significant contributions to the CDPQ, it might be rather difficult for investors to keep these good habits diversification in the near future.

"These contributions are mandatory, no one can escape, said Leo Lemoine. It will also have an impact on SMEs and the self-employed will also be under pressure. "

The Conseil du patronat du Québec (CPQ) was also concerned about possible increases in contribution rates to employers whose plans CDPQ manages the funds. Indeed, it is predicted especially for the coming months, an increase in contribution rates to the Commission on the health and safety, 100% paid by employers, or the Régie des rentes du Québec, assumed to 50% by employers.

"Employers in Quebec will inevitably pay for the mess but no one that they would be forced to pay for them as they know their share of challenges to overcome," said the director of research and economist Head of patronat du Québec, Norma Kozhaya.

As for the Quebec Association of retired public sector and parastatal (AQRP), its president, Madelaine Michaud, calling a public inquiry to determine the decisions taken by committees of the various retirement pension as the Employees Retirement System government and public organizations (RREGOP) and the Pension Plan of Management Personnel (PPMP).

"Pensions make up nearly 55% of the assets of the CDPQ and losses this year are $ 20 billion to our plans, she said. We must know who is responsible for these historical losses. "

Life insurance and tax cuts

Insurance - The contract-survivor annuity is intended to ensure, in case of death of the insured pays a lump sum or an annuity to his child with a disability that prevents them from exercising a professional activity or to acquire an education if they are under 18 years. Other recipients of this type of contract are concerned since 1 January 2004. It is either a relative in direct or collateral line to the third degree of the insured, that person is not a dependent or a dependent of the insured and unrelated binding affinity. An annuity contract-survival is subject to any time limit.

The contract savings disability is a life insurance contract whose duration is at least six years. It allows the payment of a lump sum or an annuity to an insured if it is reached at the conclusion of the contract, a disability that prevents them from exercising a professional activity.

For an annuity contract or a contract survival Savings disability, the rate of tax reduction is 25% of the annual amount of premiums paid with a ceiling of 1525 euros plus 300 euros per child.

Note that this limit applies to all contracts signed by members of a household tax.

The Dogs and Insurance

Insurance - If your dog bites the driver or the factor and that this happens on your property, you probably think that you will be covered from your insurance. Maybe yes, maybe not. If your dog is crazy for a storm while you're away from home and caused major damage to your home, you hope maybe your insurance company will cover the cost of repairs? But will they? Again, maybe yes, maybe not.

Many insurers do not cover damage caused by dogs that the insurance considered "at risk", such as Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, or chow.

So how can you be sure you're covered? Talk to your insurance agent and ask to be specifically covered for this risk to your car and your home. This may cost a little more for this type of coverage, but at least you know you're protected if Medoro eats a piece of the factor.

A Look at the Cost of Insurance

Insurance - If you've watched your insurance recently you probably know how much you pay your home insurance, but do you know how much it should cost? Are you paying too much? Or maybe you do not pay enough and are not covered. Or maybe you bought a new house and you do not know what the rate applicable in your area.

Many variables come into play when determining the price of insurance, so you will have to do some research to determine how much your insurance will cost you.

How important is your home insurance and will it happen to you if you are not covered? Insurance offer a relatively inexpensive way to protect your property and your assets from financial ruin in case of disaster. There is no way of knowing if something really bad is about to happen or not, but if you do not take into consideration the consequences could be truly catastrophic. If your home and your possessions are destroyed or you must face a lawsuit for damages for which you are not covered, you'll probably run right to bankruptcy.

Quickly examine what exactly a home insurance and how it helps you before tackling costs.

What is insurance? In exchange for the payment of a sum of money relatively low (the premium), the insurer assumes the risk of financial consequences of a loss of your property or the risk of a loss following a liability trial. The insurance provides financial security and peace of mind for consumers.

Home insurance is the type of property insurance that covers private homes. It is a policy that combines various personal insurance which can include losses occurring to your home or what it contains, as insurance to cover accidents that can happen at home. The cost of insurance depends on what it would cost to replace your home and any additional objects you want to achieve.

Ok, let's costs now. Up to how should you pay insurance?

You must be enough to cover the cost of rebuilding your home. You can estimate this by multiplying the total square meters of your house by the cost per square meter local (see local association with the manufacturer or your insurance agent to determine that). In addition to the structure of your home you will want to consider your personal possessions, what it would cost you to live elsewhere while your home is repaired and your responsibility towards others. Keep in mind that standard home insurance provide coverage for disasters such as joint damage caused by fire, lightning, explosion or theft. They do not cover floods, earthquakes or damage caused by a lack of maintenance.

Most home buyers borrow money in the form of a bank loan and the banker always ask that the borrower agree to a home insurance. It is often a requirement of the loan. The price at which you pay your home insurance can vary several hundred dollars depending on which company you buy it.

If you do your job and you look more offers you can save a considerable sum of money. Examine different insurance agencies, consumer guides and get online quotes to get an idea of price ranges. These are the best sources to find out how much your insurance will cost you.

Assurland offers free quotations from several different agencies to help you get the lowest price. Simply fill in a questionnaire, then it will be processed online and automatically you will have access to a detailed comparison that will give you not only the price but also all types of guarantees offered and the differences d one advertiser to another.

Be prepared to ask questions of the agencies you have selected to reduce the cost of your insurance. Ask if you can increase your deductible to lower premiums. Do not include the cost of the land when you insure your house, buy your home insurance and your auto insurance with the same agency, improve the security of your home, indicate what equipment and what improvements you made to get a discount and ask if there are other ways to lower the price. Consider the price of insurance when you are on vacation. A solid home, with a recent electrical standards, and located near the mouth of a fire you should be able to get a significant discount.

Home insurance is designed to protect you, but compare, know what you want and ask for discounts on your insurance agent. Be sure to have purchased a sufficient guarantee to replace what has been secured.

Who offers the best insurance?

Insurance - Home insurance is something everybody needs, from apartment tenants to homeowners, but you probably do not want to pay too much for this insurance. That is why it is important to do some research before you commit. A great way to pit the best home and use the Internet.

There are some sites that offer quotes from multiple insurance companies according to the information you have entered. I use comparison sites to search for everything from health insurance to homeowners insurance for my old apartment. The great positive is that you simply enter your information once, instead of having to go on a ton of different sites to see or call various insurance agencies for quotes.

Once you have entered the information, you'll receive quotes from many different insurance. In general these quotes will arrive by email but some programs will give your phone numbers for agencies as well (you want to be careful and read the small print - I do not know about you, but I do not like that people have my phone ). With quotes by email, it is easy to compare the different offers at your leisure. You can also experience any pressure from the agents who work on a commission basis.

The best comparator is online Assurland. It allows you to compare multiple home free.

One last tip: ask if you can group your insurance (eg insurance, auto insurance, professional insurance, etc..) Because you can often receive a discount in this manner.

All about the alarms, theft, video surveillance, home automation, insurance and many aut

Insurance - A good home insurance is very important, and that is something everybody needs, as it covers goods among the most expensive and most important that we have, as our responsibility in numerous accidents and damage to us and third, whether within or outside our house. Not be well covered thus exposes us to many financial and legal problems. However, it is also important not to pay too much protection.

The best way today to find the best insurance at the best price is to use the Internet. The good old method to call several insurance companies and request a quote always works, but it requires much more time for fewer results. There are now many sites offering free online comparative. Simply fill out an online questionnaire asking basic questions about our home, click a button, then wait a few seconds to dispose of the estimate of four to five insurance companies selected among the best that we can then compare according to their tariffs, protections they offer, the amount of their deductible, and so on.

If an insurance us, we just need to click to receive the quotation by email, or ask to be recalled. A gain of time compared to the good old way! In addition, insurance companies hope to win customers through the Internet and often their insurance dumped prices in the hope that it will be a loss leader that will encourage us to buy other products. We should be alert and purchase only the best products at the best price!

What can we measure the performance of an online campaign?

In my time, it was of the same

In the good old days, it was not too concerned about the performance of advertising purchased. To measure the impact of their pub, some might say cunning something like "say you heard this ad and get an additional 10%.

From that moment, became the marketer on the defensive and out against the measure by excellence: The branding. Branding, this magic word to justify a campaign that is missed but will not admit we messed up.

Close this statistic that I can not see

With the Web is all the tools that exist, it is now easy to measure. And when I say, it's really all. The marketer knows. Or pretend not to know. Or if they do not, they are truly disconnected. In this case it is perhaps not appropriate to give them a mandate for the web.

The problem with measuring performance Web is that it takes great humility to admit that we cheated. Figures to support! Often it is easier to say it was a brilliant campaign and extremely effective for branding. It has not reported a penny, but branding issue, it is served.

Ignorance: The last bastion of market incompetent

These are incompetent Makete lucky. As long as the client does not require reports on performance, the market may sleep in peace and talk about branding. But if the client requests a box to measure the performance of a Web marketing efforts, such as strikes, then the marketer may have to justify why the campaign did not work. And then the branding will come to his rescue.

And yes, it does not work every time

The thing to understand is that there is no magic recipe. I think it is better to sell a business relationship rather than an ad campaign. We try things together and we advise you to the best of our knowledge. If we do not reach the desired results, we try to understand why and we will adjust rather than to pretend and to bury the results under the carpet.

In short, this is not tomorrow that measuring performance is a web normal to charge a client. Fortunately, there is a long way and customers are becoming increasingly aware of the Web, its tools and we can do with all this. One day, the branding will have its rightful place and it will be to justify campaigns Web moribund and ineffective.

Nigeria / Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline: Gazprom and Total on the ranks

This is not exactly a surprise ... while the war raged pipelines around the world, the Russian gas giant Gazprom and French oil group Total is interested in participating in the project pipeline Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline (TSGP).

Indeed, this was indicated Wednesday the leaders of groups at a conference in Abuja.

Recall that the most promising pipeline to link Nigeria to Europe via Niger and Algeria.

The aim of Russia could be controlling - as much as possible - the competitor and partner nevertheless represents the country chaired by Bouteflika, while trying to maintain control over the supply of hydrocarbons to the European Union. Do not dream.

In so doing, Gazprom is not stingy in that regard as marketing diplomats. "We have here the opportunity to offer some solutions we have developed. We have experience in managing such projects on a large scale," said Vladimir Ilyanin, director of Gazprom in Nigeria.

Only "shadow" to the table: as the Russian gas giant, to ensure the financial viability of the project, gas prices will be higher than current levels. In Russia it's not blackmail, but the negotiation ... history to "justify" some rate increases ... ?

Position that might "embarrass" the European Union, while 40% of its gas and a third of its oil is imported from Russia.

At a cost estimated at 10 billion dollars, the TSGP was intended to deliver 20 to 30 billion cubic meters of natural gas from Nigeria to Europe via Algeria and Niger. This potential gas production of Nigeria is particularly intended to contribute significantly to covering the gas in the European Union.

If the project should - in theory - allow it to diversify its energy suppliers, "involvement" in Moscow in the field could greatly change the situation. Nth party fails to Moscow ....

Remember also that a geographical point of view, the Niger Delta is twice as close to the center of Europe than the Western Siberia - which is the great reservoir of Russian gas - and almost as close than are the deposits offshore Norway.

Guy Maurice, general manager of exploration and production of Total in Nigeria has also décalré that his group was interested in this project. "Total believes that diversification is a long-term strategy for Nigeria, which is really interesting," he asserted at a conference.

In 2007, Algeria and Nigeria led a campaign to promote this mega project, with the European Commission (EC) to bring together potential partners and investors, to explain the benefits of this project in all its dimensions (exports to the EU, the effects on sustainable development in the transit countries and their neighbors, financial and environmental aspects) and install the project in the axis of the sources of energy supply in the European Union.

Areva NP: no substitution between Alstom / Siemens and Finmeccanica

New episode in the "love" atomic fire couple Siemens / Areva NP.

The French group Alstom and the Italian Finmeccanica Tuesday denied the news saying that they would enter the capital of the subsidiary of nuclear reactors of the French group Areva, instead of Siemens.

But attention to the subtlety of the "thing" if the two companies do not want to take the place - and part - from Siemens, it does not, quite the contrary, they are completely satisfied "with a stake more "broad".

"Alstom is not interested in buying all or part of the Siemens Areva NP, has thus taken to indicate a spokesman for the group. As a reminder, the daily Il Sole 24 Ore said Tuesday that Finmeccanica could replace, alone or in a "most probable" with the French group Alstom, German Siemens in the capital of Areva NP.

Controlled nearly 30% by Bouygues, Alstom nevertheless calling for months for a "global industrial rapprochement" with Areva, beyond the simple acquisition of a stake in the nuclear group.

The "simplistic" the resumption of the Siemens may not be to everyone's taste ... whereas in January, the boss of Alstom, Patrick Kron was stated to be "in favor of a proposed merger with Areva" while recognizing that the project is not progressing.

For its part, Finmeccanica Tuesday denied having any attempt to "substitute" to Siemens, in the joint venture Areva NP.

While France was struggling with the effects of the storm Klaus, Siemens announced it had assigned its interest in Areva NP. According to the German group, its 34% stake will be sold within three years to Areva, the majority shareholder, the transaction is still subject to approval of competition authorities.

The German group then justified its operation by a margin too small to maneuver within the joint venture. "We want to play an active role in future developments, and this is also valid for the nuclear industry. That is why we took this initiative", had stated in a press release from Siemens boss Peter Löscher.

According to Siemens, the transfer price will be agreed by the contracting parties under the terms and conditions of the shareholders. The group stated that it wished to terminate the joint venture as soon as possible. According to sources close to the dossier, the Siemens subsidiary Areva NP is estimated at 2 billion euros.

Investors puzzled against the yen

The yen is suffering from a lack of investors? If this is not clearly the case because, remember, the recent decline in the yen is also linked to an intervention by the Japanese central bank on the foreign exchange market, it appears that investors are beginning to arise serious questions.

Indeed, the accumulating bad news: after a recession in two digits, which is expected to continue over several quarters, traders have been facing a record trade deficit for January which is the direct result of a historical fall exports over 45%. Obviously the fall in exports is closely related to outbid the yen since the beginning of the crisis against the dollar and other currencies. However, even if the decline since January is welcomed by all, and especially by the Japanese government, it may hide a deeper problem. In this case, it appears that investors are questioning the sustainability of the yen as a safe haven. Indeed, more bad news piling up, more investors are perplexed.

Knowing they can easily fall back on the dollar in times of crisis, it is likely that many of them do. Indeed, the masterly speech of Barack Obama before both houses of Congress yesterday will surely finish them. In any case, the U.S. president seems to be reached, at least for a time to dispel the fears. While the dollar started the week down, he returned last night from the hair of the beast on the foreign exchange market against the yen and the euro.

The latter resumed its down cycle in the foreign exchange market, the publication of a decline in German GDP in the fourth quarter helping.

Renault: test of an electric car by 2009

The electric? Carlos Ghosn, President of Renault believes hard as iron.

It announced today that the French carmaker would "test" this year's electric car.

According to the CEO of the firm to diamond, "the conditions are now met for the electric car is finally a success."

"Our car is already in place. We are going to test this year," he declared in an interview with the weekly Le Point.

Brag a bit, the boss of Renault also said that the autonomy of the vehicle "test" was 160 km with air-conditioning set to maximum and radio. Specialists will appreciate, I do not think that radio will be much in the "case".

In October 2008, Renault had crossed another milestone in its "power strategy" by announcing a collaboration with EDF to market cars "zero emission" in France from 2011.

Carlos Ghosn and Pierre Gadonneix, CEO of EDF had explained at a press conference at the Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris that the two companies would launch joint engineering studies to establish the infrastructure necessary for large-scale deployment of an electrical supply. "Other partners" could be involved. These could include local authorities, infrastructure managers.

Carlos Ghosn had discussed a potential market of 400,000 electric cars in France in 2016, representing 20% of the French market ...

Also note that through its partnership with Better Place, a company developing the electricity grid, the group aims at the mass marketing of electric vehicles from Renault in Israel and Denmark since 2011.

Online shopping: How to avoid failure?

Internet Marketing - Nowadays, it is very easy to build an online store but it is much easier to abandon it. I'm sure you've heard of these people who have won fortunes with their online store or those who have succeeded in a very short time. Nonsense or Way of the Cross?

Let me ask you a question. Change your product or offer often? Many entrepreneurs do. However only those who persist with a product or range succeed.

The 3 main reasons why your online business might not work:

In my opinion, the first reason why you can fail in e-commerce is that you consider this as a hobby. When you treat your online store as a hobby, you'll probably get an equivalent result. Your online store is relatively easy to create, but it is even easier to drop it. I observed that most of the creators of online store do not work, they treat their online business as a hobby.

Here is a new issue. If you create a multi-million, what will you do? How do you start? I think you will take your case very seriously and go to work, is not it? The secret is to think of your online store as if it were a multi-million, then in no time, you'll increase your profits and success you smile.

The second reason of failure is, in my opinion, the lack of assistance and support. Although it is very easy for someone who has no knowledge of the Internet to launch its own online store, it is essential to move closer or better to be accompanied by persons with expertise in online promotion or marketing Internet. Selling online is a new area. Contrary to advertising there is no book or recipe. The ideal is to learn with people who have already succeeded in e-commerce to promote it.

When I started, I had no concept of e-commerce or development, literally, I do not know anything at all. This does not prevent me from getting started, I opted for a good software online store (see http://www.ShopFactory.fr) who had been advised by a friend who had a shop in row. The software allowed me to create my store and manage very easily. I then sought advice from my friends and I started to learn how to promote my online store. He was my mentor and my coach in addition to being a good friend. Since my results online are making steady progress.

Another way to learn more about Internet marketing is to attend seminars and conferences in this field. Try to know many people who have a business selling online, try to build a team and work together.

The third reason why you can fail in e-commerce is that most online entrepreneurs spend too much time to learn new techniques or new methods. They lose a lot of time reading or surfing the Internet looking for information.
You're probably wondering what is a problem in learning and obtaining new information? Apply what you learned is most important.
You can have tons of knowledge and information in your head but if you do not use in your shop, you will never see the results or progress.

What is the purpose of learning? You must run what you've learned, refine, adapt and improve what you do, you will get better results.

These are the 3 main reasons why I think people have given up halfway their online store. Remember to keep a positive attitude and determination.

An e-commerce solution exists?

Internet Marketing - The Draft of a proposed

You will think for a while now, you have a product you want to market on the net, you have an efficient and reliable hosting, you also have the basic knowledge that allow you to use more or less efficient tools editing site. You say so ...

I have a shop but how does it work?

You then start your search on the net with the keywords "Internet commerce, virtual shop, commerce solution, shopping cart, etc" and that's when you realize that unfortunately there's dozens of scripts and e-commerce software, they all seem to work the same way but yet they are all different, there is a script to be modified, either a software or a site that your business operates, there are templates site ready for some that offer a wide range of possibility for other opportunities to lower short it is a choice even more difficult to make that explanation is often incomplete.

I myself have tried several solutions to the detriment of my wallet, now that I am suitable for conditions.

The purpose of this article is not to sell and even less to denigrate a solution over another but simply to help you see a little more clear based on my own experience.

Yes but at what price?

Some e-commerce solution work like a shelter, in fact you simply pay a monthly amount to the supplier on his side host your store on its servers. It provides maintenance and maintenance and offers different selection of packages at different prices.

Others are simply often a script in PHP or ASP you can buy with or without a template for the host on your own server. This solution requires less expensive but still knowledge to be able to customize and modify scripts to respond specifically to your needs. The advantage is that you pay only once.

There is also a solution of shops turnkey, ie you buy a shop-made with a minimum configuration and you do that simply add to your products inside. This kind of solution is often restricted in terms of design, leaving you little choice in the final appearance of your Internet site. Often several packages are available depending on the number of products you wish to offer and options available.

Finally there is always the least costly solution is to integrate a shopping cart to your existing site, but that attention must be able to build your own site or get a simple site template and include a script shopping cart. There are several free shopping cart that you are provided with source code that can be changed at will and most good web hosts provide free in your hosting package, I'm thinking of osCommerce, available as open source "free.

A final possibility is to send you to specialists as there are hundreds on the internet who will build your site and shop according to your needs and your requirements, web designers who offer their services and who can provide an estimate on request, then there It is expected several hundred dollars.

A simple internet search should find out more about this solution but the attention is reserved for connoisseurs, adjusted because a script to a site is not alone, it is often necessary to modify one where the other to achieve a satisfactory result and for this we must know a minimum the following fields: the language of the script, PHP or ASP, Java, CSS, phpmyadmin and also master the basics of handling MySQL or Access data.

Which to choose?

Initially, if you're not a master of language and PHP scripts, you should not hesitate to eliminate the latter alternative. Let me introduce you to quote an extract from the French osCommerce site to give you an idea about the requirements to handle these scripts to name than the.

_______
"OsCommerce is a complete online sales code Open Source.
This means that you can download package contains all the PHP scripts in order to achieve a functional and complete shop, a sort of "KIT." However, the establishment of an osCommerce package, though relatively simple, easy, requires a number of skills and knowledge prerequisites.

- HTML: minimum level 3, level 4 wanted
- Code CSS: Level 2 minimum
- PHP Code: minimum level 3, level 4 wanted
- Code MySql: minimum level 2, level 3 wanted
- Javascript code: Level 2 minimum
- Code Apache: minimum level 1, level 2 wanted (. Htaccess)

Skill levels are rated from 1 to 5 according to these criteria:
1 - beginner (understanding the code and syntax)
2 - Advanced (ability to change the code)
3 - control (ability to add a few elements, perfect understanding of the structure and syntax of the code)
4 - Expert (ability to develop autonomous portions of code)
5 - expert developer pro (ability to modify, adapt, or create a complex code on several levels)

NB: If your skill level is insufficient for these needs, start by documenting and improve your skills. Note that it is never necessary to have a level 5. "
_______

Far from me to try to discourage you, but there are still lots of opportunities available to you once again it all depends really on what you want and the budget you have.

I suggest a simple search on Google with the words "E-commerce Solution", you should have enough links to make you a better idea.

Many hosted solutions are beneficial for those who wish to operate their stores quickly and with minimal manipulation of code as possible, I think among other things ClicShop to name only one there. Personally for my site, after months of research and attempts often expensive and disappointing, I finally opted for the latter, so I bought a ecommerce template "a gauge of trade in French that includes a script already integrated in a site that is fully functional j'héberge on my hosting plan, simply put the file on the server and configure it. (name of your site, address, etc, etc) thereafter you choose how you want this kind of script included the management of shipping costs, taxes and all that you need to begin to operate your trade.

I give you the link so you can get an idea

Ecommerce Template

Commerce solution that requires minimal knowledge because you can change the code and will add as many pages as you like. You only pay for the purchase of the script.

I also tried other solutions that did not fit my needs simply because they were either too expensive or not efficient enough or simply totally inadequate. There are a host of other whom I bought a really expensive accommodation with a store that seemed to be very functional, aesthetic and inexpensive, but they sold me a shop that was being planned, so unfinished , almost non-functional, full of "bug" and to top it all, the support was almost nonexistent.

For obvious reasons and legal, I m'abstient his name mentioned in this article, but I am happy to give it to those who get their request via email.

I will back soon with another article on online commerce

Account suspended on ebay

Account Suspended ebay

If your account has been suspended on ebay and want to create another, it is necessary to pay attention to several elements:

First, all the information you enter in your new account must be completely different account that has been suspended. In other words, you should use a name, phone number, mailing address .... But password on different ebay. Indeed, if one or more of this information is entered when creating your new account, there is a risk that is linked to the previous one (account suspended) and this causes an immediate suspension.

This is the main reason for your difficulties to create new accounts.

But we must also think of the "tracking" of ebay. Indeed, eBay will track down your computer in 3 different ways: your IP address, cookies standard and flash cookies. In other words, you're not invisible to each connection on ebay (or paypal), these website log your IP address and install small programs to identify you.

For example, link your ebay account is suspended again by using these methods. You have (1) IP address change (2) erase cookies from your computer. To have maximum safety you should do this every connection on ebay. ( Account Suspended ebay )

The IP address change can be extremely easy or difficult. Some ISPs offer dynamic IP (which change with each connection), there will be no problems. If this is not the case, it will need to contact your ISP or use alternative methods to change the IP address for each connection. You can, for example, using a key 3G (which connects to the Internet via the mobile network). Your IP address will change with each connection

Account Suspension on eBay: How to go back to business

Account Suspension ebay

You have been suspended on ebay? Unable to open a new account because you are suspended again? No response "human" from ebay?

This little 10-step guide will help you in your first steps towards the creation of new accounts on eBay and Paypal. I'll show you how to create new accounts to replace your old account suspended.

1) Remove the Turbo and other eBay: eBay uses these programs to track your computer. Each time you log on ebay these tools automatically records your IP address and scans the cookies installed in your computer;

2) change the name in your account: the only time you'll need your real name is if you accept checks. It is quite possible to sell sustainable manner by using fictitious names. In addition, since January 2009, a new statute has just emerged: self-contractor. This hybrid between individual enterprise and individual can create a "legal person" so extremely easy and inexpensive;

3) Cookies: download firefox, and make the handling for "cookies" (these spyware programs that are installed in your computer) to each connections. To do this: run firefox. Then go to tools / options. Go to the tab "Privacy" then select "Accept cookies" and "always erase my personal data when closing firefox. Then press "ok".
By doing this, eBay / PayPal will no longer tracking cookies and temporary files from your computer. Most new eBay accounts are "linked" because of it. Users of eBay will connect without having erased the information beforehand. The new account is automatically suspended. ( Account Suspended ebay )

4) IP address: especially not to use the IP address of the account that has been suspended. It is best to have a dynamic IP address, which is essential if you want to sell with multiple accounts. The IP address should change with each connection. Made a test by plugging / unplugging your box, or contact your internet service provider;

5) physical address: Never use an address of an account that has been suspended. This address can be totally random (but similar to the CB and the paypal account);

6) New phone number: use a new SIM card or service tollfreeforwarding

7) new credit card: again everything should be different from your account suspended (name and address). It is best to use a gift card or virtual. The gift card provided by the Post Office allow for transactions on the Internet (and therefore inclusion in Paypal) but not those provided by LCL and BNP Paribas. Getting a card is also a good solution.

8) Paypal account and merchant account to use Paypal for the start of your activity on eBay. Then after 50 evaluations you will have the right to change the method of payment for buyers (rule imposed by eBay). Quickly Paypal at this time and opt for a merchant account (eg 2Checkout.com). It will save you a lot of problems ... ( Account Suspended ebay )

9) create your eBay account to use gmail to create an email address (no tracking of IP address with this service). Use your new CB and telephone number. Add your PayPal account;

10) start your sales start SLOWLY attention, especially if you sell "sensitive" products (electronically or mainly luxury brand). If you sell laptops to 1000 €, I would advise not to sell as 2 or 3 per week at the beginning of the activity on your account

Follow these steps methodically is important if you do not want any problems with your new accounts. Ebay buyers overprotects and it is becoming increasingly difficult to sell products on this platform. Suspensions and other limitations paypal are part of the new rules of the game, it is important to control them.

No public support for the new owner without Saab

Sweden is not prepared to consider credit guarantees for Saab unless the automaker can find a private investor to support its business plan, says Industry Minister Maud Olofsson.

"We need to know if a reliable third party assume responsibility for the business plan so that Saab can make a profit in 2012 and 2013," said Olofsson, cited by public radio.

A Swedish court has set Friday for a safeguard procedure for Saab vis-à-vis its creditors.

Olofsson said that since General Motors had indicated its intention to cut ties with Saab in the space of a year, a new owner was a condition precedent for the government.

"Hopefully those who have contacted Saab are the kind of commitment," added the minister.

If Stockholm welcomes reorganizes Saab, the Swedish government does not believe that his goal months to become profitable in 2011 is too optimistic. Saab estimated at three billion crowns (543 million) loss last year and he anticipates a similar result this year.

GM has made certain that it would ensure the liquidity requirements of Saab and it does not keep the company beyond January 2009.

Nabucco: the EU reduces its financing

The European Union has cut 50 million euros funding for Nabucco gas pipeline project ... is pleased to announce the Russian press, relaying information from the Turkish press.

Remember that the said project is a "fierce" competitor .. Project Russian pipeline North Stream, its main purpose is to deliver gas from the Caspian Sea to Central Europe and especially Austria, avoiding Russia.

According to the Turkish daily Sabah, the 27 EU members would like to reduce the amount dedicated to the Nabucco project, initially set at 250 million euros.

Remember that under the plan for Europe, the EU offered last January 28 to spend 3.5 billion to energy projects. Also advocating for increased gas interconnections and the establishment of an internal market that would reduce the risk of breaking. The plan provides for the payment of 250 million euros at the European Investment Bank (EIB) loans to companies involved in Nabucco.

While the project cost is estimated at 8 billion, the consortium consisting of six energy companies, is looking for investors. Difficult task in times of crisis and while many experts do not consider it profitable, unless it is also powered by Russian gas even also Iranian.

If negotiations on its construction have been going on for several years, these have intensified in early 2009 to "favor" of the gas conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

The project represents an extension of the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzerum. He would carry 20 to 30 billion cubic meters of gas in Central Asia and the Middle East by year from 2014. Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan and Iraq are among potential suppliers to supply the pipeline.

Last weekend, the first vice-president of the national oil company SOCAR, announced that Azerbaijan had enough gas to fill the pipeline, this state of things the "authorized" to take part in the project . To date, the proven reserves of Azerbaijan exceed 2000 billion cubic meters of fuel.

Recall that to maximize the project, the EU must find thirty billion cubic meters of gas each year to deliver.

In mid-February, the Turkish media announced that the World Bank was prepared to subsidize the construction in case of compromise between Turkey and the EU. As a reminder, Ankara is seeking 15% of gas transported by pipeline, to the great displeasure of Brussels.

The Vice-Chancellor and German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier felt about him recently in order to enable the diversification of routes of gas supplies to Europe, the construction of Nabucco was as necessary as the North Stream pipeline.

It is true that Germany is not entirely neutral in the case. The project on this huge pipeline involves four majors: Russian Gazprom, the Germans Winterstall Holding AG and E. ON Ruhrgas AG and the Dutch Gasunie. The pipeline will be laid on the bottom of the Baltic Sea and in Russia Wybord link to the German city of Greifswald will have a capacity of 55 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year.

"We want to build two pipelines, which are major energy projects involving European companies in Germany," said Steinmeier.

This has the merit of clarity ....

Iran / nuclear: pre-commissioning of the central Bouchehr

Coincidence of timing? Even as Iraq calls foot to France for the latter to build a nuclear power plant in Iraq ...

.... Iran for its announcement that the ceremony of "pre-entry into service" of the Iranian nuclear Bouchehr, built by Russia, will be held February 25 in the presence of heads of organizations of the Atomic Energy of Iran and Russia.

This "pre-set service" - the ins and outs were not specified - will take place during the visit to Bouchehr the head of Russian Federal Agency of Atomic Energy (Rosatom) Sergei Kirienko. This will go on this date in Iran "to take note of the work to the central Bouchehr, Rosatom said in a statement, without further detail.

Originally scheduled for 8 July 1999, the completion of Bouchehr - project initially led by the German Siemens - has been delayed repeatedly, tensions surrounding Iran's controversial nuclear program, as far as possible to improve.

If construction of the plant was begun by West Germany in 1975, West Germans have declined to pursue the work after the 1979 revolution, the attack against the U.S. embassy in Tehran and the introduction a U.S. embargo on the delivery of high technology to Iran.

In 1995, Russia and Iran signed a contract for a billion dollars on the completion of construction work undertaken by Germany. Moscow has also promised to deliver a VVER-1000, for supply of nuclear fuel and to train Iranian specialists. The contract on delivery of the VVER-1000 amounted to 850 million.

Friday, the Deputy Russian Foreign Minister Alexander Borodavkine, on a visit to Tehran, said that Moscow wanted "to ensure that the plant is launched on schedule." About the "encouraging" for Tehran, while S. Kirienko early February had estimated that the technique would be launching in 2009, unless unforeseen due to the fact that the "old integrated hardware."

If the entire Russian fuel necessary to start the plant was delivered in early 2008, it has not yet been introduced into the reactor.

"I want to stress the willingness of the Russian side to complete the project on time. I think after the delivery of nuclear fuel to the plant in 2008 the Iranians should not have any doubt about that," was indicated for his part in early February a senior Russian diplomat.

Iran has recently indicated to the International Energy Agency (IAEA) that this should be done during the second quarter of 2009. Moscow has justified the delay by technical reasons and financial disputes.

"Iran rejects any unforeseen circumstances that could hamper the launch of the plant. The technical consultations with the Russian side are successful, and we hope that the expectations of the Iranian people will be satisfied. The plant will be put into service on time for the good of our country ", said last Tuesday the spokesman of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Hassan Ghashghavi.

Playing it both ways, allowing both the goat and cabbage, Russia made the challenge to be both among the countries demanding that Iran suspend its nuclear program, fearing that the latter has for military ... while supplier of civilian nuclear Iran.

OPEC: a further reduction in production "very likely"

Russia has perhaps not even "need" to store its output - as it recently suggested - to try to start from the rising oil prices.

The Algerian Minister of Energy and Mines Chakib Khelil found Sunday in Algiers that it was "highly probable" that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries agreed to a further decline of its production at its next meeting in March in Vienna.

Remains whether such an announcement .... and facts that should have followed a real impact on the price of crude oil.

"It is likely that OPEC takes decisions on 15 March next year to further reduce production and help stabilize prices that are in decline," said Mr Khelil Sunday, quoted by the Algerian APS agency .

Trying desperately to prove to the market the effectiveness of such measures, the Minister also stressed that previous production cuts agreed by OPEC in September (- 4.2 million barrels / day) have prevented prices from falling further .

I told you, the famous theory of "less is worse than worse still beautiful days in front of her.

Wake up the specter of a catastrophic scenario for the producing countries, he even wished to push the nail up to say that no decision cartel cuts made during the months of September, October and December, the barrel would not reach $ 40 today, but probably 20 dollars.

Echoing a speech now very popular, Mr. Khelil warned that low prices could lead to a reduction in short-term investments, and thus lead to a tightening of supply when demand resumes in the next two or three years . Even sounds Russian coast, in recent times.

The next ministerial meeting of OPEC is scheduled March 15 at the organization's headquarters in Vienna.

Iraq proposes to France to build a nuclear power plant

Consideration of any agreements between Total and Iraq for a significant portion of Iraqi oil cake? While Iran has shown that most of the finger to its controversial nuclear program, Baghdad might have found a way to reconcile the French economic interests sometimes - often? - Before other considerations more "philosophical".

The Iraqi Minister of Electricity Karim Wahid, a Sunday and asked France to help Iraq build a nuclear power plant. Remember that there are over 25 years, the Israeli army had destroyed a reactor near Baghdad, which was built by France.

"We had very good relations with the French companies" in the past, has sought to recall the minister. While adding: "I am ready to come into contact with the French nuclear agency and begin the construction of a nuclear power plant, because the future will be nuclear. It is my view. "

Recall that in 1974, Jacques Chirac, then Prime Minister, is visiting for three days in Iraq. The following year, on 5 September 1975, Jacques Chirac in Paris welcomes Saddam Hussein. They visit all the 6 September, the nuclear center Caradache. The French Prime Minister said that "Iraq is in the process of developing a nuclear program consistent. France wants to join in this effort. "

On 18 November 1975, three protocols of intent were signed between Paris and Baghdad, for the delivery of Paris by two research reactors (Tammouz Tammouz 1 and 2), under the supervision of the IAEA

In 1976, Iraq signed an agreement with France for the construction of the Osirak nuclear reactor. Three years later, the work began.

But in June 1981 during the Iran-Iraq war, Israeli aircraft bombed the unfinished reactor at Tuwaitha, south of the Iraqi capital, saying Israel alleged military intentions of Saddam Hussein to justify these acts.

If Iraq has apparently succeeded today to protect its electrical attacks, the country needs to find billions of dollars that will provide power to the country 24 hours 24. Thus what affirmed Sunday the Iraqi Minister of Electricity Karim Wahid.

The sinews of war "now appears to be related to financial issues while the 2009 budget of Iraq has still not been approved. Main causes: political strife and ... lower oil prices, oil is the main source of revenue for Iraq. "We call seven billion dollars. We've got one for the moment. But I'm optimistic," has said Wahid.

Nearly six years after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, many of the six million residents of Baghdad have to buy electric generators, the state providing only four to eight hours of electricity per day, depending on the neighborhood and the season.

Mr. Wahid said that contracts for 15,000 megawatts had been signed with the U.S. General Electric and Siemens of Germany last two years. The aim is to supply electricity without interruption for 12 hours a day in every household in June 2009 for a complete recovery in 2011 or 2012.

Six projects of rapid production of electricity have also been submitted for signature. These projects include an interconnection with Iran and the arrival in Turkey of two power by August, with a view to supplying areas of southern Iraq. Between 10 and 20% deposit was paid at the end of 2008 for all contracts.

Recall that on February 10, Nicolas Sarkozy had made a visit to "surprise" in Iraq, urging French companies to return to the country and to invest, announcing that a large business delegation would visit Iraq by Summer ". The oil company Total had not waited for the President's order to take the lead.

Some journalists - including Anglo-Saxon - suggesting that the French military reinforcements to Afghanistan could be the consideration of any "largesse" granted by Washington to share the Iraqi oil cake.
