			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span><span>According to our information, rumors about an IOS device between iPhone and iPad are based, but rather an iPad 6 &#8220;, </span></span><strong><span><span>it could be an iPod touch that adopts a screen of 5 &#8220;</span></span></strong><span> . This would at least have the merit of explaining the launch in the fall: the iPad 3 of the rumor is in fact a <a href="http://www.ipodtouch-5g.com/">5G iPod touch</a>.</span></p>
<p><span><span>As part of an overhaul of the iPod range, the </span></span><span><span>iPod classic</span></span><span> would give way to a kind of maxi-iPod touch screen and large memory capacity. Format 5 &#8220;would be adopted as part of a larger size screens at <a href="http://www.apple.com/">Apple</a>, and co-exist with a range of 3.5&#8243;.</span></p>
<p><span><span>This diagonal of 5 &#8220;(12.7 cm) represents the extreme of the trend where the screens of mobile devices are becoming larger. The Streak and Dell has a 5&#8243; display, Acer has opted for four , 8 &#8220;21:9 format for its Iconia Smart. Kindle, meanwhile, offers a diagonal 6&#8243;, while the Sony NGP will use just a 5 &#8220;screen.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Impossible at this stage to obtain more details, including the format of the screen or its definition. </span><span>The arrival of a large iPod touch rather than a small iPad would allow Apple to avoid reverse themselves on the issue of format 7 &#8220;for the shelves ( </span></span><em><span><span>&#8220;should be included sandpaper for users to narrow their fingers! &#8220;</span></span></em><span><span> ), and provide a new format in an already very progressive range of screen sizes for </span></span><span><span>the iPod nano</span></span><span><span> to the iPad.</span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Until now, the supposed reference S3 Galaxy GT-I9300 was. Indeed, the Galaxy S with the reference GT-I9000, GT-S2 Galaxy i9200 and GT-I9250 Galaxy Nexus, it seemed logical that the future high-end Samsung proudly bears the codename GT-I9300.</p>
<p>But today we learn more about the device hiding under the reference GT-I9300. Indeed, in the User Agent Profile presented below and extracted directly from the site of Samsung GT-I9300 has a resolution of 1024 × 600 pixels.</p>
<p>When you know that the Galaxy Nexus has a beautiful display of 1280 × 720 HD and the Galaxy has a rating of 1280 × 800 screen, such a resolution would pale and disappoint many.</p>
<p>Therefore hope that this GT-I9300 is not the Galaxy S3, so now if you want to know more information about the <a href="http://www.thegalaxys3.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-specs">Galaxy S3 Specs</a> we will have to wait for the official word from Samsung which should be sometime in the mid 2012 year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span><span>For supporters of gay marriage, there is a difference of unjust legal regime between heterosexual couples and homosexual couples</span></span><span>. Invoking the equal rights of indifferent romantic and sexual orientation, they demand the legalization of gay marriage. This is to offer every person the opportunity to start a family, a right recognized in one form or another by various laws (such as the right to lead a normal family life in France). It is yet to allow same-sex families in </span><span><span>concubinage</span></span><span><span> or contract to have a means of recognition of their union as such.</span></span></p>
<p><span>Conversely, opponents of <a href="http://www.gaymarriagehq.com/the-5-most-common-arguments-against-gay-marriages-and-why-they%E2%80%99re-stupid-37/">gay marriage</a> underscore the specificity of heterosexual marriage, where men and women are indeed equal, but not identical or interchangeable, particularly in relation to motherhood and its impact on the couple&#8217;s life and of married life. They rely in particular on the definition of the word constant </span><em><span><span>marriage</span></span></em><span><span> in all places and times to denote the union of one man and one woman. </span><span>They dispute the claim of egalitarianism, criticize a fallacious argument in the service of a community claim victimhood. </span><span>They opposed the defense of an institution that predates the state, is imposed upon him, and he has not the power to fundamentally alter the nature</span></span><span><span>.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Another critical approach to gay marriage is to contrast the sulfur of homosexuality conformist </span></span><span><span>bourgeois</span></span><span><span> who finds application in the marriage. </span><span>The writer </span></span><span><span>Benedict Duteurtre</span></span><span><span> published an article in </span></span><em><span><span>Libération</span></span></em><span><span> June 2, 2004, entitled &#8220;Gay Wedding for petty bourgeois,&#8221; in which he challenged the legitimacy not so much as the interest and the consistency of this claim</span></span><span><span>.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Religious considerations may be present in the grounds of objection. </span><span>Monotheistic faiths traditionally sanctify the marriage of a man and a woman and also condemn homosexual relations.</span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The world has gone crazy with gold and in this article we will be learning about the gold market which will help you answer a question that you might have, <a href="http://www.whyinvestingold.com/">why invest in gold</a>? It&#8217;s a question many common people ask themselves but few have the answers for.</p>
<p><span><span>Compared to most other goods, the particularity of the gold market is that stocks of the durable material, accumulated over the history in different individuals and agencies (central banks &#8230;), are estimated at about 50 times the annual world production.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>The gold is quoted, in physical form, the </span></span><span><span>London Stock Exchange</span></span><span><span> and, in the form of futures contracts in New York. </span><span>World prices are fixed in </span></span><span><span>U.S. dollars</span></span><span><span> per </span></span><span><span>troy ounce</span></span><span><span> of gold. </span><span>Apart from these organized markets, dealing with large quantities, there are firms trading in gold and precious metals open to individuals and various processors and users.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>The courses are particularly volatile and subject to various factors: changes in stocks of central bank gold, jewelry applications, including India, the United States and China</span></span><span><span> , industrial demand (electricity, electronics &#8230;), costs and production volumes, condition of mineral reserves, safe haven, or speculative purchases and sales based on monetary uncertainty. </span><span>Part of the market is opaque, due to </span></span><span><span>gold mining</span></span><span><span> illegal who has strongly developed in the late </span></span><span><span>xx </span></span><sup><span><span>th</span></span></sup><span><span>  century in </span></span><span><span>South America</span></span><span><span> .</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>The actions of major groups are listed gold mainly </span></span><span><span>London</span></span><span><span> , </span></span><span><span>New York</span></span><span><span> , </span></span><span><span>Toronto</span></span><span><span> , </span></span><span><span>Johannesburg</span></span><span><span> and </span></span><span><span>Sydney</span></span><span><span> .</span></span></p>
<p>It&#8217;s common knowledge in the circles of the elite that high <a href="http://networth.org">net worth</a> individuals such as princes and the royal families hold a high amount of gold in their personal vaults and at their banks in Switzerland.</p>
<div>At the end of the xix <sup>th</sup>  century , a period of monetary stability dominated by the pound with a fixed exchange rate of major currencies, gold is the standard currency. Each central bank must be able to provide holders who want the equivalent of their cash into gold. This period ended with the 1914 war . A period of instability in exchange rates which will culminate with the difficulties of the 1929 crisis .</div>
<p><span><span>The system established by the </span></span><span><span>Bretton Woods agreement</span></span><span><span> of </span></span><span><span>22 July </span></span><span><span>1944</span></span><span><span> is another attempt to stabilize exchange rates, based on a fixed exchange rate of dollar against gold. </span><span>U.S. external deficits undermine the parity from the </span></span><span><span>year 1960</span></span><span><span> and the United States abandon the peg of the dollar in </span></span><span><span>1971</span></span><span><span> .</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Since gold is a hedge, part of the monetary reserves of each central bank, which raises the attraction of investors when a crisis or troubled times is in sight. </span></span><span><span>Antoine Pinay</span></span><span><span> launched a government loan tied to gold in the </span></span><span><span>year 1950</span></span><span><span> , which was a great success and gave his promoter remained a long mythical image. </span><span>The end of Bretton Woods and the surge in gold prices in the early </span></span><span><span>1970s</span></span><span><span> caused an unexpected windfall: the lucky subscribers who were chosen by lot the last (the reimbursement is made ​​by drawing lots) touched more than three times their retirement inflation.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Despite various attempts by states to discourage the hoarding of gold, and its lack of performance relative to other forms of investment, gold has maintained its role of precautionary reserve. </span><span>After a long period of depreciation, the price of gold bullion or in part has continued to rise. </span><span>The price of gold bullion in Paris doubled between January 1999 and September 2007 (from € 8,017 to € 16,224 approximately &#8211; source: Banque de France). </span><span>It has increased dramatically in early 2008 before falling back somewhat. </span><span>It is again the highest. </span><span>For example, on March 4, kilogram gold side was 23 € 230.00 to € 530.00 23 purchase and sale.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Gold is traded on the precious metals market, mainly in the streets of </span></span><span><span>New York</span></span><span><span> , </span></span><span><span>London</span></span><span><span> , </span></span><span><span>Zurich</span></span><span><span> and </span></span><span><span>Hong Kong</span></span><span><span> . </span><span>He is listed in ounces (troy ounce) (1 ounce = </span></span><span><span>31.1034768 grams</span></span><span><span> ) and U.S. dollars. </span><span>In early 2004, the price was around $ 400 (300 euros, or about € 10 per gram) in 2001 against $ 300, $ 600 in 2005. </span><span>The monetary and banking crisis that extends from September 2007 only accelerated the movement. </span><span>The ounce is approaching 1,000 dollars an ounce (over € 20 per gram) in early 2008 and again in early 2009. </span><span>The huge stimulus packages fears of a devastating inflation along the yield investments have become extremely dangerous</span></span><span><span>.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>In July 2011, the </span></span><span><span>debt crisis in the euro area</span></span><span><span> (Greece&#8217;s debt, but also Portugal, Spain, Italy), and also that of the United States, was an opportunity for investors and savers to be aware of this problem of excessive debt, and to question a relative lack of consideration to the currency in circulation: crossing a record number of consecutive upward sessions, an ounce is mounted 18 July 2011 to over $ 1,600</span></span><span><span> ; the 22 August, crossed $ 1,900 an ounce on Globex.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>There are different types of ingots from country to country. </span><span>On the wholesale market in London, the </span></span><em><span><span>London Bullion Market</span></span></em><span><span> , which is one of the leading markets in the world for trading physical gold and silver, the bargaining unit is the monetary ingot of 400 troy ounces, approximately </span></span><span><span>12.5 </span></span> <span><span>kg</span></span><span><span> .</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>In domestic markets so-called &#8220;retail&#8221;, one can find bars of different sizes. </span><span>In continental Europe, the ingot of a kilogram is most often used, and when the country still has a national gold market, bar </span></span><span><span>1 </span></span> <span><span>kg</span></span><span><span> is listed. </span><span>In France, gold is no longer publicly traded since 2004. </span><span>At the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for example, the ingot of </span></span><span><span>1 </span></span> <span><span>kg</span></span><span><span> daily is quoted in euros. </span><span>But one can also find ingots </span></span><span><span>500 </span></span> <span><span>grams</span></span><span><span> , </span></span><span><span>250 </span></span> <span><span>grams</span></span><span><span> &#8230; </span><span>The smaller ingots are called ingots.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>In </span></span><span><span>April 2010</span></span><span><span> , the hearing of a </span></span><span><span>trader</span></span><span><span> for </span></span><span><span>JP Morgan Chase</span></span><span><span> by the </span></span><span><span>CFTC</span></span><span><span> revealed that there would be 100 times more paper-gold in circulation that physical gold</span></span><span><span>.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Commissions on transactions of physical gold would average 2% and Custody in the vaults of banks are about 1.5%</span></span><span><span> .</span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While traveling abroad you may ask yourself the question, <a href="http://www.needvisa.net/">do I need a visa</a>? It&#8217;s a common question asked amongst travellers, while did you ever ask yourself can I be refused a visa? Let&#8217;s look at some reasons why you might get rejected for a Visa.</p>
<p><span><span>A visa may be refused for the following reasons:</span></span></p>
<ol>
<li>If the applicant does not request the corresponding visa on the grounds or length of stay projected: thus, for example, the French consular authority may refuse to issue short-stay visa requested by a stranger who also asserts that he intends to stay in France more than 3 months</li>
<li><span><span>If the consulate finds that the applicant has committed fraud on the documents provided;</span></span></li>
<li><span><span>If the applicant has committed errors of representation or explanation of the application;</span></span></li>
<li><span><span>If the applicant is tipped to stay permanently but request a temporary visa;</span></span></li>
<li><span><span>If one considers that the applicant has no valid reason or sufficient for his stay;</span></span></li>
<li><span><span>If there remains a problem of immigration in the country;</span></span></li>
<li><span><span>If the applicant has a </span></span><span><span>criminal record</span></span><span><span> , poses risks to the security of a country or the absence of guarantee corporation;</span></span></li>
<li><span><span>If the applicant comes from a country with which the host country does not have a good relationship.</span></span></li>
</ol>
<p><span><span>Although severely repressed by the administration, abuses have sometimes been found in the visa services:</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span><span>Bribery of an agent requires to issue a visa, money, material benefits or sexual favors;</span></span></li>
<li><span><span>Passive bribery of an agent who accepts money for a visa or to facilitate the issuance of a visa;</span></span></li>
<li><span><span>Refusal to stop</span></span><span><span> .</span></span></li>
</ul>
