World Travel And Entertainment

Archive for February, 2009

Modern Warfare 2 has shattered entertainment sales records to become the biggest launch in history, according to Activision figures just released.

With a five-day worldwide sell through that has grossed USD 550 million, the game has beat all previous first and five-day entertainment box office, book and game records.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince held the record for the highest grossing film over five days, making USD 394 million. And Grand Theft Auto IV was previously the biggest selling game, with sales totalling USD 500 million over its first five days.

“In just five days of sell through, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has become the largest entertainment launch in history and a pop culture phenomenon,” said Activision CEO Bobby Kotick.

“The title’s success redefines entertainment as million of consumers have chosen to play Modern Warfare 2 at unprecedented levels rather than engage in other forms of media.”

Additionally, Microsoft released Xbox Live stats for the title, revealing that more than 5.2 million multiplayer hours were notched up in its first day alone.

On the same day, 360 users also unlocked more than 11 million achievements.

Despite the game’s massive success though, Activision added it remained cautious about the US and global economy going forward and that consumer spending remains a “significant concern”.

Trend Five:extra large date dial

The eye-catching  date dial is popular. The famous  Germany watch brand “Lange”and”Sonne” even combine the date dial with their brand logo.Large date dial set a higher technical requirements for mechanical wathes,because the normal watch requires only a debugging wheel spin,while the large screen watch needs two .

If you are not concerned about the watch, you might think that all the watches are round. Indeed,most watches are  round. But in fact,there is a  variety of  watch shape. At present, apart from circular shape, watches of other shapes are popular again. Watch designers  devise  a variety of styles for watch,making full use of arc, arch, geometric shape and various non-symmetrical shape.

This trend can be traced back to Cartier in 1996, launched “Tank Francaise”, which is also the most popular watch of Cartier up till now. Regardless of where  the trend started, this trend has continued until today. Square dial is particularly welcomed, making it can be seen everywhere.

Please consider the following reasons why most any pet owner, especially a dog owner should seriously consider making a dog crate part of the household. These are not listed in order of importance. You must decide which benefit is most important to you.

- A place of their own when visitors are present in the home—at this writing the holiday season is quickly approaching which means house guests. Many pets get nervous when company comes. Many owners get nervous for their pets when company visits. Many times the pets end up locked in another room or outside. A dog crate provides your pet with a safe place of their own to retreat into while visitors are present.

- Food and holidays go hand in hand. You know what you want your dog to eat and what foods are restricted. Your visitors will not know what your pet feeding rules are. If your pet is safely in their crate then no unwanted food will be given to your pet that could make them seriously ill or worse. If you have experienced that severe situation then you know what I am referring to.

-Vacation time—How great would it be to have your pet riding with you in the car, in his dog crate, safe, secure, resting out of harms way and just enjoying life as you enjoy the open road.

- Many people love camping and of course we always take our dogs along. Dog crates allow you to relax in the knowledge that your pet or pets are safe and secure in their dog crates when you are not exercising them or engaging is some other interaction directly with them. Your dogs know this crate to be their sleeping area, the same one they had at home, so they are comfortable in it. They will not wonder away. They will not get lost. You know exactly where they are.

- If you show your dogs you probably already know how great it is to have your dog resting in his or her dog crate while you are watching the show or talking to other exhibitors, a great example for the rest of us.

- If you have an older pet they want and require a place to rest that is safe and secure. If you have younger pets in the home this is often a problem for the older dog. Enter the dog crate, their own space, their bed, their safe place to rest away from the others that may want to jump and play instead of rest.

- Now I will say just a bit about puppies and dog crates. There is tons of information available on crate training your puppy so we will not go into that here except to say that crate training your puppy will change your life and theirs for the better.

- Unfortunately our pets occasionally require surgery for some reason. How great would it be to have a place where your crate trained dog could rest in safety while recuperating? That is just another very important use for your dog crate.

Pet crates and pet carriers are not punishment for your pet. Once you have successfully crate trained your pet they will enjoy their crate for the rest of their lives. Never use the crate for punishment. This is counter productive to your goals.

What is TVI Express?

TVI Express is a new Network Marketing/MLM Company that seeks to capitalize on what it says are 3 of the fastest growing trends

• Travel & Tourism

• Internet

• Home Based Business

So in short TVI Express sells Travel & Tourism at discount prices and encourages the use of internet marketing as the primary form of promotion.

Boards and Stuff

When you join TVI you pay a one-off fee 0f $250, there are no recurring costs, you aren’t put on autoship and you are’nt expected to hold inventory of any kind.

When you pay the $250 You’re placed on the Traveller board, when you cycle off the traveller board you earn $500($250 cash, $250 in travel vouchers) and are then placed on the Express board.

The Express board is the second phase of earning income, when you cycle off the Express board you make $15,000 $10′000 in cash and £5000 travel voucher and after that you’re placed back on the Express board and you don’t go back to the Traveller board. You’re then put in line to earn another $10′000.

How Do You Make Money?

Let’s get back to the Traveller board for a minute, when someone joins TVI Express they’re placed on the Traveller board on level 1.

There are 8 positions in level 1, when all positions in level one are filled the person that is on level 4 moves off to the Express board and collects $500 and the remaining levels are split into 2 new boards.

A new level 1 is added giving 8 positions each on the new level one. When the new level 1 position 1 is filled then the next level 4 moves upto the Express board and you too move up a level.

When you get to the Express board you go through the same cycling/matrix-filling process and when you finish up you make $10,000 and are then cycled back to level 1 on the Express board.

One thing you have to understand is that when you sign up you are’nt signing up as a travel agent. The Travel could be used for business or pleasure.

Conclusion

TVI Express seems like a great opportunity, they have everything you could possibly want in a travel business with bug brand names such as Hertz, Virgin Atlantic and Lufthansa just to name a few.

However there is one part that worries me THE REPLICATED WEBSITE. No one cares about your business and no one joins a business for the reasons you think.

TVI Express is great but there is one thing you will need to do to have real long-term success.

LEARN TO MARKET

You have to generate you own leads through your marketing efforts and be a leader. Do me a favour and check out all the top earners in every network marketing business and you’ll see a pattern emerge.

You see these are a different breed of people because they have mastered one skill that TVI Express cannot teach you and that is:

Attraction Marketing

Those who practice Attraction Marketing have mastered the art of attracting people to them and not their businesses.

When you Market in this way it doesn’t matter if your company is shut down or people leave your downline because there will always be people ‘Attracted’ to you and what you have to offer.

Your first offer should be your leadership. This is the only reason your next prospect will join you, because he sees you as a leader.

Want to be a TVI Express millionaire? Then learn how to brand yourself as a leader and the prospects will come pouring in with their credit card in hand.
