Paris Museum Pass:- The Cheapest Way to Visit Parisian Museums.

A Paris Museum Pass is the best and cheapest way to visit more than 60 museums in Paris. It not only offers priority admission, but also saves you money on each trip. This article explains how you can benefit from a Paris Museum Pass.

The Paris Museum Pass was specially introduced for those tourists and visitors who are in the city for a short period of time and wish to explore the grand collections housed in Parisian museums. Long queues for entrance tickets simply discourage visitors from appreciating these fine collections, hence the introduction of the museum pass. If you love to explore museums, this pass will save you time, energy and money.

Paris Museum Passes are available for 2, 4 or 6 consecutive days, and allow unlimited visits to over 60 museums during their valid dates. Upon arrival at each museum you will be given free and priority admission. In other words, this pass will save you waiting in long queues and paying at each museum separately. Thus, you will have time to visit more collections, and save money while doing so.

This pass is also beneficial for senior citizens, giving them entrance at reduced rates, and again avoiding the need for time-consuming and tiring queuing. If visiting with children, you will not require a Museum Pass for those under 18, as they are entitled to free entry.

If you are planning a trip to Paris soon, then buying a Paris Museum Pass in advance is advisable. You can purchase it over the internet, however, keep in mind that the pass cannot be returned or used by someone else. Therefore, buy this pass when your trip is finalized. It may take up to three working days for delivery.

You must be aware of certain limitations of this pass. It is not valid for guided visits and temporary exhibitions, and it will only offer you free and priority admission to permanent collections. In addition, its date cannot be extended, and your fee cannot be reimbursed if the participating museums are closed due to unforeseen circumstances. However, such happenings are uncommon, and since this pass offers entrance to over 60 museums, it is hardly likely that they will all be closed on the same day. Briefly speaking, if you have a great liking for museums, then a Paris Museum Pass is essentially the best and cheapest way to visit the wonderful, but expensive, museums of Paris.

Europe Agrees To Give A400M Project One More Chance.

At last, after much dithering, leading European governments have agreed to inject a life-saving dose of billions of euros into the veins of the A400M project, thus enabling it to deliver long range military aircraft, and France will get its first plane in 2013.

This project was launched in 2003 and has a long history of delays and cost overrun. There were rumours that EADS, a large Pan-European aerospace corporation, would have to scrap the entire project, and European governments would instead be looking for alternatives. However, the governments have made a prudent decision, though delayed, to cover the shortfall in the fund and continue the project.

According to the new understanding, seven launch customers - UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain and Turkey - have agreed to reduce the total number of aircraft, and they will accept 170 instead of the initially planned number of 180. It is supposed to replace ageing C130 Hercules and C160 Transall planes.

The Airbus A400M is a long-range and intermediate sized aircraft, designed as a tactical airlifter with strategic capabilities. It is designed for cargo and troop transport, medical evacuation, aerial refueling and electronic surveillance. It can also be used on short and soft landing strips.

The new deal among European governments to finance the aircraft is nothing less than a blessing for the manufacturer, Airbus, and its parent company EADS. The project has been prey to at least a 5 billion euro cost overrun, and delivery of planes is already running four years later than the initial release date. In the latest agreement, reached in November, European governments agreed to a price increase per plane of 11m euros, and 1.5bn euros of credits against future exports. EADS will cover the rest of the shortfall itself.

This project will help to keep 1,000 aerospace engineers in work and will increase the effectiveness of European military might. Also, this agreement will help save the European aerospace industry from lagging behind that of the US. It would have made Europe dependent on the US for this technology if European leaders had decided otherwise. Design and features of the A400M make it highly likely that other countries will express interest in purchasing this aircraft, and the latest agreement will be seen as a milestone in the history of European aerospace industry.

Queen of UK Now On Facebook.

Over the past years Facebook has become a global phenomenon and many politicians, leaders and celebrities have joined the club to be in contact with their fans. Facebook, the leading social networking website, continuously casts its spell over public figures. Queen Elizabeth II, incumbent monarch of UK since 1952, is the latest addition to Facebook.

The British Monarchy page is live on Facebook from Monday November 8th, 2010. It is not a personal page, but users will be able to view information about royal engagements. However, they will not be able to add the Queen to their friends list or 'poke' on her page.

Born on April 21, 1926, Queen Elizabeth II is now 84 years old, and still carrying out her duties as British monarch. She was crowned on June 2nd, 1953 and her reign is one of the longest for a British monarch. Her silver and golden jubilees were celebrated in 1977 and 2002 respectively, and planning for her diamond jubilee in 2012 is underway.

Queen Elizabeth II is not unaccustomed to using the internet, in fact she is quite an active user of technology. Buckingham Palace established a Royal Channel on Youtube in 2007, and the Queen joined the Twitter club in 2009. Now she has decided to join Facebook.

The internet has indeed revolutionized our lives and has introduced new cultural behaviour. Today, the world is far better connected than at any point in history, although segregation of different races, classes and groups also exist in the virtual world. Can we hope that the day will come when important public figures will not only be happy to be seen on social networking sites, but will also agree to be "poked" and added to the friends lists of ordinary people?

How I Earned 4,000 Euros, By Writing, In Only Two Weeks.

If you are a writer you will know only too well how difficult it is to earn a decent amount in only two weeks. With the right approach, however, you can earn thousands of bucks in only a few weeks.
I would not have believed that in just 14 days, writing for a very limited time on the internet, it was possible to earn 4,000 euros, and I don't expect you to believe it either, but a cheque for 4,000 euros, bearing my name, is lying in front of me. I expect you would like to know how I did it. Well, it is no great secret, and I would be delighted if my experience can help you bring in some money too. So, here is how it happened.

There are times when we all have something pleasant waiting for us in the inbox. Around 13 days ago, when I signed in to collect my email, one of my many messages seemed quite interesting. Although I have not disabled my blogsite comment box, my friends prefer to send their feedback into my inbox. It was, however, not that sort of feedback. A Mr. James Parkman, from UK, had written that he liked my blogs, columns and articles on my various websites. The gentleman was quite impressed by my writing style and interested in hiring my services, writing content for his website.

Mr. Parkman appeared very kind in his email and since I am a professional writer, I did not have any reason to say no, other than my busy schedule. I immediately looked at my forthcoming committments and found that I could manage it, providing this assignment was not urgent. So, I thanked him for his kind words, but advised that if his requirements were urgent, I was not the best option at present. Luckily he could wait, so I agreed to undertake the work.

In following emails, Mr. Parkman came up with the necessary information about the content, and we discussed rates and deadlines. Once everything was finalized, I reminded him that I required part-payment in advance. He asked if I accepted cheques. Since some of my clients in Paris do pay by cheque, I agreed, and he promised to send it as soon as possible. I trusted him.

On October 27th 2010 I received the promised cheque by post, but was confused to find it was made out for the sum of 4,000 euros. Had he decided to pay for the whole assignment? At that moment I felt I must be a really great writer!

As expected, some hours later I received another email from this man, giving further instructions that were completely unrelated to writing web content. On the contrary, he asked me to deduct my fee, and to send a cheque for the rest of the amount to a lady in the United States, whose details he enclosed. As soon as I read this message I could not contain my laughter.

I am not sure if it is due to my journalistic background that I save valueless objects, but I do, so I quickly searched for the saved envelope which had carried the bank draft, and checked its postmark. It was from Africa, not U.K.

When I analyzed the situation, I smiled, and placed the bank draft on my desk, where it lies still, to remind me. At least this adventure has taught one thing ...... you can earn a bank draft worth 4,000 euros in just two weeks. Unfortunately though, you cannot cash it! Therefore, if you are in online business, be careful, for some cheques and bank drafts with your name on are destined to go directly into the bin !
