Origin and evolution

by yudaica2013 ·

Origin and evolution of Factoring Factoring‘s origins date back to the seventeenth century. Due to difficulties in the recovery of manufacturing (mainly textiles) that England exported to U.S., British companies began to delegate the task of selling and collecting American businessmen. Moving from one continent to another more expensive commercial operation, to which was added the lack of information about the customer. Over time, U.S. businessmen began to take the commercial risk of making sales and financial developments to British exporters. From that time until the present the factoring business in the world has steadily increased. Its growth rate is 8 per annum on average, ranging, from 1960, virtually the entire planet. At present, the number of factoring companies operating is about 2000, thus making this form of financing in one of the sources of short-term funds most used by small and medium enterprises.About 500,000 companies today are funded through the annual sale of more than 500 million bill for nearly 2,000 billion U.S. dollars. While the U.S. was a pioneer in this business, most factoring is done in Europe today . Although most of the factoring business is concentrated in the domestic factoring, ie within the country, every day is taking more importance to international or export factoring. International factoring is used by exporters or importers who sell or buy on open account or by payment documents in terms agreed.

Types of distribution

by yudaica2013 ·

Types of distribution channels can speak of two types of channels: Direct Channel (Short marketing). The producer or manufacturer sells the product or service directly to consumers without intermediaries. This is the case of most services, it is also common in industrial sales because demand is very concentrated (few buyers), but it is not so common in consumer products. For example, a hairdresser provides the service and sells it without intermediaries, so do banks and savings banks. Examples of consumer products can be products Avon, Ballantine Books, Dart Iberica (Tupperware) sold at home. It is also a direct channel sales through vending machines, also called vending. Indirect channel. A distribution channel is often indirect, because there are intermediaries between the supplier and the end user or consumer. The size of distribution channels is measured by the number of intermediaries that form the path through the product.Within indirect channels can distinguish between short channel and long channel. A short channel has only two steps, ie a single intemediario between manufacturer and end user. This channel is common in the marketing of cars, appliances, designer clothes … that retailers or retailers have the exclusive sale for an area or undertake a minimum purchase. Another typical example would be buying through a supermarket or hyper. In a long channel involves many middlemen (wholesalers, distributors, wholesalers, resellers, retailers, dealers, etc.).. This channel is typical of almost all consumer products, especially products of convenience or purchase frequent, as supermarkets, traditional shops, galleries, markets or food … In general, we believe that the short distribution channels selling prices lead to reduced consumer and, conversely, that long distribution channels are synonymous with high prices.This is not always true, may be the case that products purchased directly from producers (eg wine or champagne at a wine cellar in origin) have a sale price greater than in a commercial establishment.

Middle Ages

by yudaica2013 ·

Three hundred years later, the Muslims conquered the territory, crossing the border with the United franc. In the year 732, Charles Martel’s defeat in the Battle of Tours, halting its expansion to the north, but still settled in the Pyrenees. Charlemagne then creates the Hispanic and incorporates in the year 817, Andorra in the Carolingian Empire. In the Middle Ages the valleys of Andorra were in the County of Urgell, to be ceded by Charles the Bald to Sunifred in the year 843. With the expansion of this county to the south, where land was more fertile, mountainous areas ceased to be relevant to the count and, in the year 1133, Ermengol VI surrenders all assets and rights acquired in the valleys of Andorra to the Bishop of Urgel. In 1095, the bishop in return for military protection, gave their political, judicial and military Caboet family, but retained sovereignty over Andorra, transforming the territorial domain in episcopal lordship.In 1185, Arnau Arnau Caboet married I Castellb . The marriage of Roger Bernard II of Foix and Ermessenda of Castellb , in 1208, he assumed the domain of Andorra for the County of Foix, who will increase their power in Bearn, Kingdom of Navarre and, centuries later, the Kingdom of France. As a result of conflicts between Roger Bernardo III de Foix and Pere d’Urtx, the September 8, 1278 signed the first Pareatge in Lleida, which sets limits on the power of each master, represents the foundation of the Principality of Andorra and defines Andorran obligations concerning tithes and military affairs. Ten years later, following the construction of a fortified church in San Vicente de Enclar by the Count of Foix, where he could monitor the activities of the Bishop of Urgel, the second Pareatge was signed in 1288. This second agreement provides, inter alia, the right to appoint a notary by both parties bearing their representation in the Principality.In 1419 it created the Consell de la Terra, consisting of two or three representatives of the six parishes, with the objective to defend local interests. In 1610 the son of Henry IV of France, Louis XIII, incorporating the county of Foix to the French crown, and since then, the heads of state will be the Bishop of La Seu d’Urgell and the King of France (currently the President of the French Republic).

Summary – Portable Applications Workshop.

by yudaica2013 ·

Mobile Applications Portable applications are programs that can be copied to a portable storage device such as USB memory, iPod, or MP3 player, then, can be anywhere where there is a computer (provided you have the same operating system for which the application was created) and used immediately. Simply insert the USB into the computer, locate the application, and run it. Portable applications follow the philosophy of the LiveCD, no need to install or modify the contents of the hard disk of the host computer in any way. In portable applications, we have Internet browsing software, email, word processing, spreadsheet, presentation graphics, etc.If in addition to applications, files copied our data, we take an “Office” in the palm of the hand, and work on any computer where you arrive. Not all applications are portable. There is usually a normal version of the application (typically not portable), and then modify it to create a portable application. On the other hand, there are applications without being modified can be used as lead applications such as eMule and Durie, as they are distributed in an executable and need not be installed but only copied to a folder, which could well be on a USB memory . U3 memories have a considerable advantage with respect to the reports without U3, but U3 is this and what the principle of this technology Then try to give a brief introduction to non-intensive U3.From a user standpoint. Originally, also known as USB memory sticks or removable disks were an excellent alternative to floppy disks 5 1 / 4 and 3 , to the extent that new computers do not already contain these include multi-bay units but for your USB devices, many of them accessible from the front of your computer. This worked very well originally that all personal files can be transferred between a computer and another achieving with this a very efficient alternative to share information, but this in turn created new needs and by sharing, such as a word file in the Guest computer should have at least of the cases the same version of word that the computer where it was created. Often shared presentations, timelines, images etc..and the computer you want to see do not have the programs with which you can view the documents by this that is very helpful to have all the data if you can watch on the computer the visitor. The solution U3. U3 separate include file contains an extra unit (a kind of disc applications) where applications are stored are usually focused on one containing the files in your memory. So if we go to a cybercafe and we hope we can do edit our images and our own memory includes an image editor. U3 is not only the technology that integrates new possibilities. Is that we include in our USB publishers, submissions, antivirus, Chat Client, proxy, games including passwords so that managers can use our memory as a mini operating system which contains what is necessary for our efficient work in a borrowed computer and removing our memories clean of any traces let the client computer. You can easily move everything on your computer and install it on another. We would all like to have an office at any time we wrap, tuck under your arm and take in a moment where we want.

New On Current Accounts

by yudaica2013 ·

Can always withdraw money whenever you want, in as many places and most still free. If this still is a perfect service, the requirements are fulfilled in a current account from a customer perspective. But the reality is usually very different. Hardly an account meets all customer requirements simultaneously. So, the first fully informed about the conditions of the respective account. This begins with the service that is offered to the customer. If we choose now an online bank with no branch network and without personal contact with the customer service agent or it will be a branch bank at which you can go, if you need advice. Of course, should not be waived even with a direct bank on service, but this is only possible via Internet, mail or fax. In return, these usually offer better terms and quicker turnaround times. The cost of a checking account may be applied for very different positions. As would be, first, a fixed monthly or quarterly account maintenance fee but settled mainly from directis no longer collected. Also on transactions are collected from some banks charge. With many costs for transfers and standing orders are indeed already in the account maintenance fee included or entirely free – but there are also providers collect a fee on every transaction. Some collect only on transfers that are made in a branch fees for telephone and Internet account management is free. In order not to give away money unnecessarily, you should also pay attention to credit interest. Here are the rates vary widely and if you regularly engage in a relatively high amount of money deposited in his checking account at this point is wasted money. During the credits, interest should be as high as possible, apply to MRP and interest owed to the contrary. This is between the interest rate on the so-called overdraft facility, which was agreed with the Bank and distinguish the overdraft interest rate. This always uses it when one is more than the MRP credit to his bank in debt. Some banks are attackingthis point game in the pocket of their customers, so you should be careful at this point. A key question in choosing a current account is also the number of ATMs where you can stand out free cash. Thus, in the DKB-Bank by DKB Visa card at any ATM in the world free to withdraw cash. She is currently the only bank that offers this service. However, many other providers secure their customers tens of thousands of ATMs with a good supply of cash. When you have finally found a favorable current account, one should not shy away from the change. The old account may be terminated in writing at any time and without notice. Nevertheless, one should continue with its account until such time as all documentation, such as pin-and Tanlisten and credentials have been received for online banking. Have online banking, your PIN and TAN lists and maps and their associated PINs obtained. For comparison, offer the advice pages on the Internet where you can compare many offers for specific criteria, and then after careful selection onHave on account, which exerts even for impulse not let you down.
