kredit ohne schufa

Schnell ist es passiert. Kein Geld um finanzielle Forderungen zu erfüllen, beispielsweise die Telefonrechnung. Das reicht aus und schon hat man einen negativen Eintrag in seiner SCHUFA-Akte. Die schufa (Schutzgemeinschaft für allgemeine Kreditsicherung) ist ein Kreditbüro, das von den Kreditgebern zum Beispiel Kreditinstituten, getragen wird. Ihr Ziel ist es Kreditgeber vor finanziellen Ausfällen zu bewahren, indem sie die Informationen sammelt, die für die Einschätzung der Kreditwürdigkeit von Personen von Belang sein könnenMit einem negativen Eintrag in die SCHUFA-Akte kann man meist bei inländischen Kreditinstituten keinen Kredit mehr erhalten. Die Lösung ist der so genannte "Schweizer Kredit". Hier wird ein Kredit auch trotz schufa gewährt. Das Kreditinstitut hat den Sitz in der Schweiz. Diese schufafreien Kredite werden über Vermittlungsfirmen vermittelt, und es wird keine Einsicht in die SCHUFA-Akte verlangt. Auch wer selbstständig arbeitet oder arbeitslos ist hat hier die Möglichkeit einen Kredit aufzunehmen, obwohl er nur in einem engen Rahmen sein Einkommen belegen könnte. Oftmals werden schufafreie ratenkredite in Anspruch genommen, die in monatlichen festgelegten Raten zurück bezahlt werden. Hier muss man allerdings im Normalfall mit höheren Zinsen rechnen, als es bei einem Kredit mit Einsicht in die SCHUFA-Akte der Fall wäre. Der Kreditgeber geht ein höheres Risiko ein und das spiegelt sich meist in den höheren Zinsen wider.Die Gründe weshalb man einen Kredit aufnehmen möchte sind vielseitig. Wichtig ist es für den Kreditnehmer jedoch, sich über seinen finanziellen Rahmen im Klaren zu sein. Er muss vorher genau prüfen, ob er in der Zukunft in der Lage sein wird, den aufgenommenen kredit auch wieder abzubezahlen. Ansonsten läuft man Gefahr, in noch größere finanzielle Probleme zu geraten, anstatt seine Probleme zu lösen. Ein gründlicher Vergleich zwischen Kreditangeboten ist also dringend anzuraten, damit nichts der Umsetzung seines Projekts im Wege steht.

Golf

Golf is a sport in which a player, using many types of clubs including a driver, a putter, and irons, hits a ball into each hole on a golf course in the lowest possible number of strokes. Golf is one of the few ball games that does not use a standardized playing area; rather, the game is played on golf "courses", each one of which has a unique design and typically consists of either 9 or 18 holes. Golf is defined in the Rules of Golf as "playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the RulesA golf ball next to a hole.The first game of golf for which records survive was played at Bruntsfield Links, in Edinburgh, Scotland, in A.D. 1456, recorded in the archives of the Edinburgh Burgess Golfing Society, now The Royal Burgess Golfing Society. The modern game of golf spread from Scotland to England and has now become a worldwide game, with golf courses in the majority of countries.Golf competition may be played as stroke play, in which the individual with the lowest number of strokes is declared the winner, stableford points play (as devised in 1931 by Dr. Frank Stableford of the Wallasey & Royal Liverpool Golf Clubs), in which the individual with the highest points score is declared the winner, or as match play with the winner determined by whichever individual or team posts the lower score on the most individual holes during a complete round. In addition, team events such as fourball have been introduced, and these can be played using either the stroke, stableford or matchplay format. Alternative ways to play golf have also been introduced, such as miniature golf, sholf and disc golf.Golf has increasingly turned into a spectator game, with several different levels of professional and amateur tours in many regions of the world. People such as Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Lorena Ochoa, Pádraig Harrington and Annika Sörenstam have become well-recognized sports figures across the world. Sponsorship has also become a huge part of the game and players often earn more from their sponsorship contracts than they do from the game itself.Golf is a game the exact origins of which are unclear. The origin of golf is open to debate as to being Dutch[3] or Scottish. However, the most accepted golf history theory is that golf as practised today originated from Scotland in the 1100s.[4]Scholars have claimed references to a form of golf from hieroglyphs found on stone tablets dating to ancient Egyptian Pharoahs. A game somewhat similar to golf was first mentioned in Dōngxuān Records (Chinese: 東軒錄), a Chinese book of 11th century. It was also mentioned on 26 February 1297 in the Netherlands in a city called Loenen aan de Vecht. Here the Dutch played a game with a stick and leather ball. Whoever hit the ball into a target several hundreds of meters away the least number of times, won.Modern golf is considered to be a Scottish invention,as the game was mentioned in two 15th century laws prohibiting the playing of the game of gowf. Some scholars have suggested that this refers to another game which is more akin to modern shinty, hurling or field hockey than golf. A game of putting a small ball into a hole in the ground using clubs was played in 17th century Netherlands. Flourishing trade over the North Sea during the Middle Ages and early Modern Period led to much language interaction between Scots, Dutch) and other languages. There are also reports of even earlier accounts of a golf like game from continental Europe.However, these earlier games are more accurately viewed as ancestors of the game we call golf, as the fact remains that the modern game of golf we understand today originated and developed in Scotland: The first golf club memberships were formed in Scotland. The earliest permanent golf course originated there too, as did the very first written rules, as did the establishment of the 18-hole course. The first formalized tournament structures also emerged there and competitions were arranged between different Scottish cities. Over time, the modern game spread to England and from there to the rest of the world. The oldest playing golf course in the world is The Musselburgh Old Links Golf Course. Evidence has shown that golf was played here in 1672 although Mary, Queen of Scots reputedly played there in 1567.As stated, golf courses have not always had eighteen holes. The St Andrews Links occupy a narrow strip of land along the sea. As early as the 15th century, golfers at St Andrews, in Fife, established a customary route through the undulating terrain, playing to holes whose locations were dictated by topography. The course that emerged featured eleven holes, laid out end to end from the clubhouse to the far end of the property. One played the holes out, turned around, and played the holes in, for a total of 22 holes. In 1764, several of the holes were deemed too short, and were therefore combined. The number was thereby reduced from 11 to nine, so that a complete round of the links comprised 18 holes. Due to the status of St Andrews as the golf capital, all other courses chose to follow suit and the 18-hole course remains the standard today.The major changes in equipment since the 19th century have been better mowers, especially for the greens, better golf ball designs, using rubber and man-made materials since about 1900, and the introduction of the metal shaft beginning in the 1930s. Also in the 1930s the wooden golf tee was invented. In the 1970s the use of steel and then titanium to replace wood heads began, and shafts made of "graphite" (also known as carbon fiber) were introduced in the 1980s. Though wooden tees are still most popular, various designs of plastic tees have been developed in recent years, and the synthetic materials composing the modern ball continue to be developed.Golf balls are famous for "dimples". These small dips in the surface of the golf ball decrease aerodynamic drag which allows the ball to fly farther. Golf is also famous for the use of flags. These show the position of the hole to players when they make their first drive and are too far away from the hole to aim accurately. When all players in a group are within putting distance, the flag is removed by a "caddy" or a fellow competitor to allow for easier access to the hole.World popularityIn 2005 Golf Digest calculated that there were nearly 32,000 golf courses in the world, approximately half of them in the United States. The countries with most golf courses in relation to population, starting with the best endowed were: Scotland, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, Canada, Wales, United States, Sweden, and England (countries with fewer than 500,000 people were excluded). Apart from Sweden, all of these countries have English as the majority language, but the number of courses in new territories is increasing rapidly. For example the first golf course in the People's Republic of China opened in the mid-1980s, but by 2005 there were 200 courses in that country.The professional sport was initially dominated by Scottish then English golfers, but since World War I, America has produced the greatest quantity of leading professionals. Other Commonwealth countries such as Australia and South Africa are also traditional powers in the sport. Since around the 1970s, Japan, Scandinavian and other Western European countries have produced leading players on a regular basis. The number of countries with high-class professionals continues to increase steadily, especially in East Asia. South Korea is notably strong in women's golf.[11]The last decade or so has seen a marked increase in specialised golf vacations or holidays worldwide. This demand for travel which is centered around golf has led to the development of luxury resorts which cater to golfers and feature integrated golf courses.In the United States, the number of people who play golf 25 times or more per year fell from 6.9 million in 2000 to 4.6 million in 2005, according to the National Golf Foundation. The Foundation reported a smaller decline in the number who played golf at all; it fell from 30 million to 26 million over the same period ......alıntı...

Missing Higgs

Missing Higgs
A major breakthrough in particle physics came in the 1970s when physicists realized that there are very close ties between two of the four fundamental forces – namely, the weak force and the electromagnetic force. The two forces can be described within the same theory, which forms the basis of the Standard Model. This ‘unification’ implies that electricity, magnetism, light and some types of radioactivity are all manifestations of a single underlying force called, unsurprisingly, the electroweak force. But in order for this unification to work mathematically, it requires that the force-carrying particles have no mass. We know from experiments that this is not true, so physicists Peter Higgs, Robert Brout and François Englert came up with a solution to solve this conundrum.


They suggested that all particles had no mass just after the Big Bang. As the Universe cooled and the temperature fell below a critical value, an invisible force field called the ‘Higgs field’ was formed together with the associated ‘Higgs boson’. The field prevails throughout the cosmos: any particles that interact with it are given a mass via the Higgs boson. The more they interact, the heavier they become, whereas particles that never interact are left with no mass at all.

This idea provided a satisfactory solution and fitted well with established theories and phenomena. The problem is that no one has ever observed the Higgs boson in an experiment to confirm the theory. Finding this particle would give an insight into why particles have certain mass, and help to develop subsequent physics. The technical problem is that we do not know the mass of the Higgs boson itself, which makes it more difficult to identify. Physicists have to look for it by systematically searching a range of mass within which it is predicted to exist. The yet unexplored range is accessible using the Large Hadron Collider, which will determine the existence of the Higgs boson. If it turns out that we cannot find it, this will leave the field wide open for physicists to develop a completely new theory to explain the origin of particle mass.

79' Jutson



Brindabella’, an icon of Australian yachting.

Outstanding, all round, high performance, ocean racing yacht. Her current configuration ensures she is equally at home around the cans, blue water racing or sailing short handed.

Continually upgraded and optimized as the rating rules have permitted, including carbon rudder and boom 1996, carbon mast 1997, increased J measurement and bow modification 1998, new keel 2001 and LOA lengthened at bow and stern 2001

The ‘Brindabella’ design is a happy marriage of a medium to light displacement yacht with significant internal volume, minimal structural interference to rearrangements in accommodation, yet has the ability to perform well under IMS or IRC and subject to modification, would become a powerful cruiser/racer.

Proven pedigree....superb condition

Therefore, all our rentals include a personalized welcome service, a conciergerie service available over the phone with access to professional nannies, butlers, private chefs, driver service and many more. Needless to say that we also provide the cleaning service and all the needed linen and towels during your stay.

Skie,ski,the skiing

La Grave and the massif of La Meije offer the biggest lift-accessed off piste skiing in the world! Not only that but it is one of the few massifs which has an incredible 2150m 2300m of (7050ft) vertical drop. This off-piste mountain range can provide exhilarating skiing terrain for the advanced skier, snowboarder and tele-marker. The Skiers Lodge is perfectly positioned within only 3 minutes walk to the lift! This lift ascends from the village at 1400m to stations at 1800m, 2400m, 3200m, and finally to Dome de la Lauze, “the Glacier”, at 3550m. A typical ski descent offers limitless variety from tame to steep terrain commencing on this glacier, proceeding down spectacular open bowls, winding its way through small chutes, crossing glacial moraines into seemingly endless steeps and deeps in the serenity of the forest. Legendary descents from the Girose glacier, with direct lines of 2300m explain why so many riders come back year after year to enjoy free-riding with one of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the Alps. FMGA Mountain Guide Pelle Lang, the founder of Skiers Lodge, has come across this spectacular mountain village during his search for big mountain skiing. His dream was to create a lodge owned and operated by skiers for skiers. In 1989 this dream becomes a reality. "Careful thought is given to the itineraries that are chosen for each day. The goal is to keep clients challenged by the terrain, but not terrified by the surroundings."he Skiers Lodge Guide Service, for which Pelle works daily as the chief guide, represents the ski part of the concept. The ambition is to create a good chemistry between guides and skiers. Careful thought is given to the itineraries that are chosen each day. The goal is to keep clients challenged by the terrain, but not terrified by the surroundings. La Grave, de la Meije is not a ski resort. Ski resorts adapt to skiers whereas here the skier must adapt to the mountain. This is best achieved by the guidance received from the experienced guides within the Guide Service allowing the client to enter terrain otherwise inaccessible to him/her in a safe manner. All guests are given safety equipment which they are trained to use. Groups are limited to 5 persons ensuring a good level of safety and allowing for different skiing pace. All guides are qualified by the IFMGA and speak English, French, German and Swedish. In close proximity to La Grave there are many resorts with their own micro climates and our guide team may propose one of numerous possible day trips all within an hour’s drive.

Bahamas

What's not to love about The Bahamas? While you know them as a favorite winter destination, they are equally enchanting in the summer months. This 100,000 square-mile archipelago is just 55 miles off the Florida coast, and extends more than 500 miles of crystal clear waters. Its treasures include more than 700 islands, uninhabited cays, miles of sandy beaches, and arguably some of the best yachting and sailing in the world.Whether you're craving sophistication or tranquility, you'll find it in The Bahamas. For glitzy casinos and a great nightlife, there are Nassau and Paradise Island, home to Atlantis, the mega-resort and marina. Just 30 miles northeast of Nassau, yet seemingly a world away, are the Out Islands, where you'll find some of the most stunning beaches, dive sites and fishing sites, including such idyllic destinations as Eleuthera, Spanish Wells, and Harbour Island. In fact, Harbour Island -- just three miles long with a breathtaking stretch of pink sand -- was named the Best Island in the Caribbean in 2005 by Travel & Leisure. The Exumas, which straddle the Tropic of Cancer, are home to the Land and Sea Park, one of the world's largest underwater and land preserves. This island chain is recognized as the sailing and yachting capital of The Bahamas, with 365 cays - a new island for every day of the year. For a great escape that's easily accessible, consider The Bahamas.

PARAGLIDING-PARASUT


The PPG-1 Basic Training will cover the fundamentals of Powered Paragliding. You will learn to inflate the paraglider and balance the kite overhead. We'll cover the terminology, operation and preflight of the motor unit. We will practice the launch sequence on our simulator, and you will experience your first flights in a paraglider. The progress of each student is individual, and advancement towards powered flight and/or certification depends on the student's ability to master the skills necessary.

Paramotoring requires more training than regular paragliding, not less. We know that this may run contrary to what you might have read or heard elsewhere, but consider how adding 50-100 lbs of additional weight might feel when trying to kite, launch, fly and land the same paraglider might feel. The characteristics of all these are significantly more difficult, and a pilot must have a good set of basic skills to operate a paramotor safely.

We want each and every pilot to become confident with their skills, so they can fly for the rest of their lives, not the rest of the week! Your relationship with your instructor will help you make the right decisions, from weather observations to equipment purchases. PPG-1 Basic Training includes the use of our state-of-the-art training equipment.

Travel to Brazil, Travel to Rio de Janaiero, Tourist Attractions in Rio de Janeiro, Daytrip in Rio de Janeiro


Rio de Janeiro is the second major city of Brazil, behind only Sao Paulo. The city is capital of the state of Rio de Janerio. The city was once the capital of Brazil and of the Portuguese Empire. Rio de Janeiro is on the rim of an unknown continent into one world’s great cities nearly five hundred years. Rio had lost much of its mercantilist colonial flavour but started to develop as a modern city by the late nineteenth century. Commonly known as just Rio, the city is also nicknamed A Cidade Maravilhosa - "The Marvelous City". The city gets its name from this event – Rio de Janeiro means the "River of January. Portuguese arrived, there and the city’s history effectively begins on January, 1502. In these days, with the centre rebuilt many times since colonial days, most interest lies not in Rio’s buildings and monuments but firmly in the beaches to the south of the city. For more than sixty years these have been Rio’s heart and soul, providing a constant source of recreation and income for cariocas. In stark contrast, Rio’s favelas, clinging precariously to the hillsides, show another side to the city, saying much about the divisions within it. Although not exclusive to the capital, these slums seem all the more harsh in Rio because of the plenty and beauty that surround them.
It is famous for its spectacular natural setting, its carnivals, samba and other music, hotel-lined tourist beaches, such as Copacabana and Ipanema, paved with decorated black and cream swirl pattern mosaics. Some of the most famous local landmarks in addition to the beaches include the giant statue of Jesus known as 'Cristo Redentor' a top Corcovada mountain, which has recently been named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

Florence Vacations-Italy Vacations-Florence Hotels-Florence and Ponte Vecchio

Florence is famous amongst tourists and scholars for her glorious artwork, cultural heritage, and the major role she played in the Renaissance and Humanist movements. All these facets combine to make this one of the most glorious cities in the world. Florence may be a small city, but she is extremely beautiful and a favourite meeting place for visitors and ex-pats of all ages and nationalities. The city was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982.

Ponte Vecchio, best known of all Florence's treasures, this glorious bridge was the only one spared by the retreating Germans in the summer of 1944. Over the centuries flooding unfortunately, took its toll; few traces of the 10th century bridge remain. Today's bridge, built in the middle of the 14th century, was originally filled with a wide variety of shops that included wool merchants and greengrocers. Grand Duke Fernandino I had these replaced with goldsmiths to gentrify royalty's route to Pitti Palace, reached via the Vasari Corridor that passes over the bridge.

Santo Spirito, or the Oltrarno stretches from San Frediano to San Niccolò, but its heart is probably the Piazza Santo Spirito, which has retained much of its historic charm and is filled with workshops of the city's traditional artisans. This piazza is the place for parties on summer evenings, bringing together young Florentines and foreigners, many of whom live in this area. The Palazzo Pitti with its old Medicean garden and the Boboli Garden, are both in Oltrarno. The famous Piazzale Michelangelo (with its panoramic view) is also in this district. From here, it is possible to see one of the few remaining stretches of medieval wall around the Belvedere that was spared from demolition in the 19th century.

Table GamesWhether you are a novice player or a serious gambler, The Mirage has something for everyone.The Mirage has non-smoking tables available
BaccaratAlthough traditionally the grandest of all table games, Baccarat is a simple game of chance. Players may sit in any of the 12 open seats at the table, as seating position does not affect the play in any manner. Those participating in the game may place a wager on either the bank or the player. Two hands, of two cards each, are dealt from the baccarat ‘shoe.’ Later, a third card may be required for either hand. The first hand represents those betting on the player, while the other hand represents those betting on the bank. The winning hand is the one which totals the closest to 9. Tens, cards totaling ten, or picture cards count as nothing or 0. All other cards count as their face value. If the cards total a two-digit number, the last digit counts as the value of the hand. For example, 7+8=15, counts as 5 in baccarat.Play begins when the shoe is passed to the first customer, who then deals the cards under the supervision of the dealers. Four cards are dealt alternately from the shoe starting with player. If a third card is required for either or both hands, the dealer calls for it. Once the play begins, pre-established rules determine the draw.All wagers for the bank or player pay even money. Winning bank bets are charged a five percent commission. You may also wager that the bank and the player will draw hands that tie. This wager pays 9 for 1.The Mirage also offers Midi-Baccarat and Mini-Baccarat games.BlackjackBlackjack is one of the most popular casino games. The Mirage offers traditional shoe games, continuous shufflers, and single- and double-deck games. The object of the game is to draw cards that total as close to 21 as possible without going over.

All other cards count as face value.Players may elect to stand or hit their hands. If a player hits and his or her total is more than 21, the player "busts" or loses. If the dealer "busts" and the player does not, then the player wins. The player wins if their total is closer to 21 than the dealer's total. If the player and dealer have the same total, it is a tie or “push.”When a player receives an ace and a ten-value card as his or her first two cards, the player has "Blackjack" and wins three to two on the bet unless the dealer also has Blackjack, then it would be a push.The following rules apply at The Mirage:• Players may double down on any two cards. • Players may re-split pairs, but no more than four hands may develop. • When splitting aces players receive only one card on each ace. • Players may double down after a split (except when splitting aces). • Aces may be re-split on shoe and continuous shuffle games. • Late surrender is offered on shoe and continuous shuffle games.Crazy 4 PokerCrazy 4 Poker features heads-up play vs. the dealer and two bonus bets.

The payout is determined by how many numbers are covered by a player's chip.Pai GowPai Gow is played with domino-like tiles. Four tiles are dealt to each player, the dealer, and each vacant position at the table. Dice are shaken and the total on the dice is used to determine which position receives the first hand.

Bets are paid even money and the house collects a 5% commission on all winning wagers.Pai Gow PokerAs the name implies, this unique game combines elements from Pai Gow and Poker.

Golf History

The Romans during the reign of Caesar played a game resembling golf by striking a feather-stuffed ball with club-shaped branches. Book illustrations show the Dutch playing a similar game on their frozen canals around the 15th century. Cross-country variations became popular in France and Belgium.
Golf became firmly established in Great Britain by the 17th century when James VI of Scotland, later James I of England, was attracted to the sport. In 1860 the first British Open was played at Prestwick, Scotland. The competition was opened to both professionals and amateurs the following year.
The first permanent golf club in North America, Canada`s Royal Montreal Club, was founded in 1873. St. Andrews, one of the oldest golf clubs in the United States, was established as a 3-hole layout in 1888 at Yonkers, New York. During the next few years numerous 6, 8, 9, and 12-hole courses were opened in the East. The first 18-hole course in the United States, the Chicago Golf Club, was founded near Wheaton, Illinois in 1893. For more recent information about golf, review the links below:

About Golf in the United States Today

How many golfers are there in the U.S.?
There are 26.2 million golfers in the United States. A golfer is defined as anyone ages 18 and above who played at least one regulation round of golf in the past 12 months. 36.7 million Americans are golf participants, defined as anyone ages 5 and above who either played a round of golf or visited a golf practice facility.
More than 45 percent of golfers (11.9 million) are between the ages of 18 and 39. Seniors (ages 50 and over) comprise another 33 percent or 8.6 million.
There are 5.76 million female golfers, which is 22 percent of all golfers.
There are 6.1 million junior golfers ages 5-17 who have either played a round of golf or visited a golf practice facility.
How many golf facilities are there in the U.S.?
As of December 31, 2004 there were 16,057 facilities, 11,690 of which were open to the public. A facility is a complex containing at least one golf course.
The states with the most golf facilities are as follows:
Florida (1,073)
California (925)
Texas (857)
Michigan (852)
New York (822)
Another way to look at golf supply is in 18-hole equivalents (the number of holes divided by 18). As of year-end 2004, there were 14,988 18-hole equivalents (or 269,784 golf holes). Last year, a total of 150.5 new 18-hole equivalents came online across the U.S., of which 68 percent were open to the public.
At the end of 2004, there were 1,141 18-hole equivalents in the construction pipeline, including 320 under construction, 409.5 in planning and 261 proposed.
About 50 percent of golf holes currently under construction will be part of a residential community, but only 22 percent of total holes are part of a golf community.
How much do golfers spend?
Golfers spent $24.3 billion in 2002 on equipment and fees.
They spent $19.7 billion on public and private green fees and dues in 2002, which accounted for 81 percent of all spending. They spent $4.7 billion on equipment (clubs, balls, bags, gloves, shoes).
Avid golfers (25+ rounds annually) make up the smallest player segment (23 percent), but accounted for 63 percent of all golf-related spending in 2002.
What is the average golfer`s score and has it changed much over the years?
NGF research shows that only 22 percent of all golfers regularly score better than 90 for 18 holes on a regulation length course. For females, the percentage is just 7 percent...and for males it is 25 percent.
The average 18-hole score on a full-size course is 97 for men and 114 for women. It`s an even 100 for all golfers. Only 6 percent of the men and 1 percent of the women say they break 80 regularly.
When asked what they`d like to shoot, most golfers say they`d be satisfied if they could shoot 85 on an 18-hole regulation course on a regular basis.
The average scores have changed very little over the years.
What percentage of today`s golfers maintain a handicap?
Less than 20% of all golfers maintain a handicap, which averages 19-20.
What is the average green fee at a public golf course?
The median cost of a weekend round of golf at an 18-hole municipal golf course in the U.S. is $36 including cart and green fee. (Median means that half the values fall below $36 and half above.) At a daily fee course it`s $40.
The average 18-hole daily fee golf course records 30,000 rounds per year, employs a total of 13 full-time people and brings in about $992,000 in total revenues. Nine-hole courses average 17,000 rounds and have four employees.
What are the most popular travel destinations for golfers?
Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, California and Arizona are the most popular travel destinations for golfers.
Golfers spend about $26.1 billion a year on golf travel, 75 percent of which goes to the hotel, transportation and food and beverage industries.
How many of today`s golfers actually live on a golf course?
Approximately 3.7 million or 15 percent of all golfers are permanent residents of a golf course community. And, eight out of 10 of these golfers own their residences.
Another 3 percent of all golfers own a residence on a golf course that they use as a vacation home or rent out as investment property.
How many minority golfers are there in the U.S.?
According to a study conducted by NGF in 2003, there are:
1.3 million African-American golfers ages 18+
1.1 million Asian-American golfers age 18+
965,000 Hispanic-American golfers age 18+(Note: Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race.)

BIOSKINCARE


Is your face “crying” for a skin cream to take care of facial dryness, spots, pimples, rashes, dullness, inflamm-aging... or worrying skin conditions?
Is it now hyper-sensitive because of plain aggravated neglect, or more than its fair share of abuse?

Our face is always exposed nude to solar radiation and insults from the environment and since it is with no doubt one of our most delicate and visible assets it sure needs care, does it not?

Now, not just any care. It needs loving care and thus a little dedication and a few wise decisions.

What would your future be if you are encouraged to take heed of what your skin is telling you? Or if you convince yourself that it is in your best interest to follow a routine daily regimen that uses just ONE product for a lifetime of healthy, glowing skin.

Of course it couldn't be very cheap stuff, but we are sure you may be willing to be generous with yourself and invest a few cents a day to maintain and protect that cherished asset of yours, for years to come, in unblemished shape and looks.

You've also got to be willing to dedicate a few minutes a day, twice a day everyday, if you really want a luminescent, glowing skin complexion. Don't believe anyone with beautiful, flawless skin who tells you they "don't do anything." Unless they're part of the 1% of those genetically blessed with perfect skin, we have the right to believe we do not understand the same plain English.

Skin glows beautifully if it is healthy, and if you are healthy. A lot of water, some exercise, the right nutrients, and a daily facial skin care routine is the sure way to get that healthy glow.

This skin cream is designed to gently ditch out damaged cells of your skin regularly. Not only will you slough off that dulling, dead, outermost layer of skin that is less than a micron thick, regularly. But, you will keep the circulation flowing in your body alive, which will rejuvenate you and your skins vibrancy.

This can be achieved with ONE complete and balanced skin cream made with a natural substance that gently dissolves or "digests" damaged and worn out cells and triggers the regeneration of healthy skin cells – Bioskincare –

Bioskincare is a 100% pure skin cream that regenerates your skin and also works to keep it moisturized, vigorous, smooth, kissable and rescilient. It provides results on the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, redness, acne, dark sun spots, facial blemishes, – even acne scarring, surgical scars and body stretch marks that you have lived with a long time will appear softer and be less noticeable. This skin cream mobilizes your body's own healing resources to maximize the effectiveness of the biological ingredients it supplies.

“Bioskincare has done a fantastic job for my facial scars. I never thought that something this wonderful could actually live up to it's promises. It sounded like it was too good to be true at first, but I thought I would give it a try anyway. Well needless to say this is my second order of two jars and I absolutely LOVE IT. I saw results on my acne scars in about three weeks time. I can't wait to get my next order..... This stuff is great!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Courtney Barth”. Ohio, USA

“I have been using Bioskincare cream for two months now and I can’t believe the difference! I’m excited to wake up every morning and see the changes in my skin.” Kara Potts. Salt Lake City, UT, US.

“This cream works great. It seems so natural and potent. I put the cream on the back of my neck after cutting my braids off and it removed my bumps and scars within 2 weeks. I also use it on the little bumps on my forehead and it does wonders”. Chris Roberson. CA, USA

“I got to say how I love how easily absorbed this cream is. It goes right into your skin and does not leave that shiney or greasy look or feel on your skin. This is the only skin lotion that I have found like that. Everything I have tried leaves me either shiney or greasy which I hate”. Diane E. WY, USA,

“I've been using Bioskincare Cream for just over two months and there is a noticeable difference with my skin. My usually extremely acne prone skin has calmed down a LOT, and though I do still get outbreaks, they usually disappear when I apply more of the product on. I'm now trying to fade out my facial pigmentation, dark spots caused by the sun I think. Fingers crossed that this miracle cream can do that as well! ” Michelle Doran. Hong Kong.

“My dermatologist told me there was really nothing I could do for my Keloid scars. Even with surgery there is a good chance the scarring would return. After using Bioskincare, the improvement I’ve seen has been nothing short of a miracle!” David Starks, New York.

“I have been clearing up a number of Actinic Keratosis with Folic Acid, B12, B17 and Aloe vera gel over almost 10 years. The Bioskin Cream appears as though it will clear the remains up within 2-3 weeks. A significant lesion appeared as a result of the Aloe Vera etc treatment and although it has gradually been diminishing, there has been far greater change in 1 week with Bioskincare than the last 9 months. Peter Melvelle“. NSW, Australia

“I have had brain surgery and two cervical disks transplants. At the rate that this product is working, people won't even be able to tell in under a year. Now that's amazing“. Janet M. Liston. Idaho, USA.

“My dermatologist was totally out of resources for me when he told me about Bioskincare. It is the only thing that has made my awful facial rash calm down. It is not totally gone yet, but after just one tub of Bioskincare, it is 60% better. I hope it will soon be 100%. Thank you! Vanessa Kuhn”. IN, USA.

“I love your product. I have been using it for 3 months now. I am allergic to most products that make skin look more youthful and yours has no reaction whatsover. Plus my skin is great....it glows and I barely have to wear any make up! Thanks for a great product. Susan Miller”. Texas, USA

“I have used this product to treat acne and inflammation and it is the best out there. I highly recommend it. I love the cream. It's excellent even for very sensitive skin such as mine. It literally stops a breakout and decreases inflammation overnight!” Stacey Baptiste. New York

“I ordered the cream last month and started to use it on my arms. I have keratosis pilaris and have already tried lots of other products but nothing ever worked. I'm very happy to have found your cream because my arms have never been as smooth before. My skin has cleared up and I hope it will continue to work so well! I would also like to try the cream on my stretchmarks.” Evelyne Vogt. Reinach, Switzerland

“This product is reconditioning my facial skin. It reduces the size of my pores and I find that it really speeds exfoliation and skin renewal. It has partially removed scarring on my face. I have also used it on my forearms to lessen dark spots from the sun and to improve scarring. Lynn Nelson”. IA, USA

“I have been using BIOSKINCARE on my son for 5 weeks and my husband and I have noticed a dramatic difference in the texture and appearance of his skin. My son is two and a half years old and suffered a third degree burn to his right shoulder after pulling a kettle of boiling over himself when he was 20 months old! Thank you for your miraculous cream and for putting a smile back on our faces again! You have created wonders for us so far, hence I feel devoted to you! With many thanks and best wishes! Maeve Quinn”. United Kingdom.

“This is order no. 3 --send jars 5 and 6 quickly!! I have faithfully been using your Bioskin cream twice a day for the past 9 months. I love it and the way it has made my facial skin smoother, brighter, younger looking! Debora Cousins” South Carolina, USA

“I can't believe how well your product works. When I ordered for the first time for acne scars I was skeptical about any results. Let me say that this is my 5th order. I have never ordered anything that has worked as well as the BIOSKINCARE cream. I had major acne scars and discoloration on my back. My back is almost at 90% recovery in 7 months of use. I estimate that 4 more jars should do the trick. My friend also tried a jar and now is ordering his own. Thank you very much. Kindest Regards” Ash Hassab. Illinois, USA

“I am 21 years old and in the passed year, for some unknown reason, have began breaking out and broke my bank account trying to stop it. You name it, I've tried it: ProActiv, $20 face wash, masks, peels, prescriptions, ointments and all without success. My skin is insanely sensitive and I was developing scars which, in my opinion, are worse than the acne itself because they take forever to fade. But until I could control the break outs -I was told- I couldn't do anything to stop the scarring. I found BIOSKINCARE online and thought, why not? The theory makes sense. And it's nice to see an almost all-natural product on the market because, more than anything, my skin is too sensitive to take the chemicals in other treatments. Instantly my skin was softer and smoother and after 2 months of use, the breakouts have completely stopped and the scars have faded considerably. My skin feels great and I feel great about it! And I feel confident buying BIOSKINCARE online, the customer service has been wonderful. Thanks a million!” F.S. Hafford, Canada.

“Have definitely noticed a difference on my skin since using the cream. Its helped my facial acne scars. Almost finished my first jar never thought I would be buying more as I did not believe it would work. However I think that using this product over a period of time it will really help my appearance. Thankyou. W Anderson. Co. Antrim” Ireland.



Stay with us to learn the most important beauty secret you will ever know – one that will lead you to a lifetime of healthy skin. We guarantee you’ve never heard anything like it!

What is the mysterious secret ingredient in Bioskincare that produces such amazing results?

BIOSKINCARE is made with the ONLY all-natural ingredient found in NATURE created by little land snails that are abundant in most vineyards, and use it themselves to repair their skin whenever damaged and to trigger the proliferation of antimicrobail peptides to avoid beeing affected by attacks from opportunistic micro-organisms always ready to intrude when skin is injured. Now, isn't that truly amazing! As a result, snails never suffer from skin infections – can you imagine?

Snails also use it to moisturize, repair, renews and protect their skin while they thrive exposed nude to the sun rays and the hazards of the environment, pretty much like we merry around exposing our nude face. It is also the mechanism they use to protect their body from oxygen radicals when they go out of their shell after hibernating and from the damaging effects of solar radiation.

Land snails crawl over a variety of potentially contaminated surfaces and the snail foot could be the primary site of entry for pathogens, parasites and a range of opportunistic organisms, so it is not much wonder they must have a defensive system to protect them. Such mechanism is a silvery secretion they produce whenever they are under stress and different than the one they leave behind while crawling.

Since the 19th century there has been a renewed interest in the pharmaceutical and medical use of snails, particularly for dermatological applications.

But the most common purpose for raising snails in modern times has been for food. That is, until a snail farm in Chile noticed that their snail handlers had exceptionally smooth hands, and any cuts or abrasions to their hands healed unusually quickly and without scars.

Scientific screening of the components of the snail's threapeutic fluid has shown it contains peptides that form pores in microbial membranes and disrupt their integrity while at the same time they trigger skin regeneration. The fluid is a biological complex compound of glyco or sugar chain molecules bound to proteins, peptides, enzymes, coenzymes and Copper, Calcium, Zinc and Iron present in nanomolecular amounts as trace oligoelements. Using proprietary technology, no harm is inflicted upon the snails during the collection process.

Screening also shows that the skin of these little creatures is made of the same structures present in human skin: — the same collagen and elastin connective tissues, and the same water holding glycosaminoglycan and proteoglycan molecules, etc.—. No wonder it works so well for a large array of those bothersome skin afflictions we humans suffer from.
