This will also help you analyze the trends in the market by telling you what products are saleable.

Electronic commerce has been around for more than a decade and the number of people who decide to do business online is still going up. While some people buy items from auctions or from other merchants, B2B or business to business portals are also making their mark by providing buyers and sellers a venue where goods can be sold wholesale.

Do they also open a merchant account? In some cases yet but most of the time, these companies prefer bank to bank transfers.

Is this one reason why some businesses find other ways to accept payments? It is possible because a lot of banks which encourage you to open an online merchant account with them require you to open a separate account for your online business.

What this means is paying extra monthly fees while they get a certain percentage for every transaction made.

Some banks even require you to use their own payment gateway or online terminal and that is an additional charge which could cost you thousands of dollars.

So is it worth it? Despite the cons, the answer is still yes because you need a merchant account to accept the payments for whatever item the customer purchased from you through the web.

If you are still skeptic and are well aware that you can accept payment through other means, keep in mind that and merchant account is still the safest and most secure way for both you and your customer.

Tahoe’s depth is 1,645 feet and makes it America’s second deepest freshwater body and the largest alpine lake in North America.

Historically, the lake was formed around 2 million years ago and forms part of the Lake Tahoe basin, for which the lake has been shaped during the Ice Ages.

The lake is one of the most popular tourist attractions, both from domestic and international tourists.

Kitesurfing (part 2 of 2)

http://www.bromotravelindo.com

It had preformed inflatable tubes and the simple bridle system that helped in re-launching in the water. In 1997 kiteboards were developed and replaced the skis. By 1999 kitesurfing turned into a mainstream sport. The first competition took place in Maui in September of 1998. Schools teaching kitesurfing has also emerged.

Kitesurfing can be learned through kitesurfing schools. These schools provide courses and lessons to teach students all the skill they need for kitesurfing. This includes, flying, kite launching, landing, how to use the bar, including lines and safety devices. Eager students should take lessons from certified kite surfing instructors because the equipments can easily be misunderstood.

It may look easy from the shore but there are a number of considerations to think of such as kite set up, size and type. Students should also learn the proper way of operating and maintaining the power kite.

After the students have learned the techniques in kite flying they must now learn bodydragging. The power kite is flown and the students are dragged through the water. The method is pretty much similar to body surfing but with an upward lift instead of a being pulled forward. Kitesurfing gear can cost from $1000 to $3000. Apart from the standard equipment you may need to buy a life vest, gloves, booties, hood, wetsuit and different kites for varying conditions.

Kitesurfing can be dangerous so it is restricted to some locations for safety reasons. Fortunately there are sites wherein you can go kitesurfing. Just make sure that before you get in the water you have proper equipment and be sure to follow safety regulations.  

Kitesurfing (part 1 of 2)

Flying kites is originally a child's past time. However that does no stop the adults from continuing to enjoy them. Kites have become a past time for people of all ages. It was a matter of time that adults find a way to diversify the activity. With our unending quest for thrills and extreme sports, people are finding more ways to create something exciting by combining different ideas. Combining the propulsive power of the kite and a surfboard, you have kitesurfing.

Kitesurfing is a fairly new sport but it is gaining interest from thrill seekers. Everyday people are always finding something new to give them a break out of the routine of everyday living. It involves the use of power kites to pull a rider on the water with a small surfboard or kiteboard.

Something radical out of something simple

Flying kites is a passive safe game. However if you use for other purposes it can be exciting. The use of kites for propulsion originated from the Chinese. In the 1800's kite was used to propel ships and carts with the use of a 4 line control system. The main purpose in that time was to substitute kitepower for horsepower due to the horse tax.

In the 70's Kevlar and Spectra flying kites were made, making them more controllable and efficient with more kite traction. In the 80's kites were combined with now snow skis, roller skates, canoes ice skates and water skis.

The development of kitesurfing continued as better designs emerged. In November of 1984 the first inflatable design was patented. Since then, it has used by many companies to make their own products. In 1997 the "Wipika" kite design was developed and sold.

Going on a Road Trip? (part 2 of 2)

http://www.bromotravelindo.com

Check your car.
Never go on a last minute travel by land without having your car checked. Don't leave anything to chance.  So maybe the next gas station/repair shop is just 10 miles away. What if your car breaks down – are you willing to walk/hitch the rest of the way just to get your car checked? Make sure everything is in order before you even leave your driveway.

Stop and get your bearings.
Last minute trips can be forever trips if you get lost. If you've been traveling a while on the road, stop and try to see if you're going in the right direction or at least taking the right road. Use landmarks and street signs to determine your exact location. Got a GPRS? Use it.

Going public? Confirm your tickets.
If you'll be taking your last minute travel by land on a public transportation, make sure to get your tickets ahead of time. You could queue, of course but if you want to make sure you travel faster, have your tickets on hand.

Have cash on hand.
Not every destination you arrive at might have an ATM or a bank. In case you need cash fast, at least you have something in your wallet, bag or pocket. If you're traveling by land at the last minute, make sure you have cash in change -- $1, $5, $10 and $20 bills, along with loose change in coins. So in case you find a hotel, inn or restaurant that will only take cash, you're ready.

Plus, you never know if you'll have to make a call from a telephone booth. After all, there are still areas where mobile phones won't work.
