Restaurant City Tips and Tricks

We all love food. We appreciate food and we crave for food.

Before, I want to have my own restaurant. However, I don’t have the resources to pursue that dream but thanks to Restaurant City, I can at least pretend that I can. Restaurant City is a new game on facebook developed by Playfish.

In Restaurant City, you get to create and run your very own restaurant! Design it, decorate it, hire your friends to work in it, and collect new ingredients and menu items!

I’ve been playing Restaurant City for a week now and I’m loving it.

So now, let me share some few tips and pointers for Restaurant City.

How do you get ingredients?

* Daily Freebie
This is automatic and will greet you as soon as you log on each day.
* Daily Quiz
Each day, you receive a quiz question in your inbox. If you answer the food quiz correctly, you get a free ingredient.
* Visiting a Friend’s restaurant for the first time (Get clicking!)

How can I gain GP (Gourmet points) faster?
Simple. Keep your browser on! Just leave your restaurant city on, even if you’re not playing. This way, you’ll be sure to gain those extra points which you cannot get while you’re offline. This is also useful if you want to gain level faster.

Keep your employees happy!
Feed them or let them rest. If only they have natural appetite suppressant, so it can suppress their appetite, burn fat and increase their energy output. Remember: Higher happiness = More productivity.

Ways to gain more coins
Get quick coins by picking up trash and shaking trees. While you’re in restaurant view, scroll around your lot. Click all the trees you see because they sometimes drop coins. You aren’t guaranteed a coin every time you do it but it is still an easy way to gain some coins.

Focus on one recipe
Restrain yourself from leveling up lots of recipes art once. Your restaurant can only serve one dish from each category (appetizer, main course & dessert) at a time. So, choose one recipe, click to make sure it’s the recipe being served, and level that up. The higher the level, the more reputation you gain per customer. Make use of the trading feature in Restaurant city!

Meal level to thumbs up conversion
Level 1 = +1.0
Level 2 = +1.2
Level 3 = +1.4
Level 4 = +1.6
Level 5 = +1.8
Level 6 = +2.0
Level 7 = +2.2
Level 8 = +2.4
Level 9 = +2.6
Level10 = +2.8

Make your layout more efficient
As much as possible, avoid too much space between the waiters and the tables. Fix your table layout so that your waiter doesn’t have to walk far to serve your tables.

For the table ratio, I go for 3:1. It means 3 tables per 1 cook. Then 1-2 waiters per 3 cooks.

Prioritize more cooks over waiters.

Play in lower quality
There’s a button on the top left corner of the game which allows you to adjust the game quality. Changing your quality to low makes the game run much faster, hence each customer visit goes faster = more cash.

Create waiting chairs
Waiting chair is a feature which allows you to increase the time in which a customer waits before leaving. This is useful as every customer who leaves disgruntled results in a decrease of your restaurant’s reputation. To make waiting chairs, read the following tips for higher success rate.

* Don’t place the waiting chairs next to the door
* Don’t place too many chairs.
* Place one or two arcade machines to keep your customers entertained for a bit longer.

Make a maze
If your waiters are struggling to clear the dishes in time for new customers then make a maze. This increases the time the customer takes to reach the table and the table should have already been cleared by the time the customer reaches it.

Close your Restaurant
If you can’t login for a long time, you may close your restaurant by blocking the door with something like a chair, table or your mailbox. Or you can just remove the door itself.

Warning: Restaurant City is very addicting. LOL …

All costs of war in Iraq for USA

So far, the war in Iraq costs America more than 2 trillion. dollars and this amount continues to grow every day. A separate debate is needed to understand how much that amount. In this article we will try to break down these costs by their nature and origin:

Human costs.
The reason for starting the costs fairly straight forward. Human irretrievable loss, and they never can be monetized. To date the article was written, the war in Iraq has claimed the lives of 4,323 U.S. military personnel. The number of wounded in action or wounded in combat zones of the accident reached 31,368.

Given the frequency of the battles that U.S. forces are currently exposed to this number, obviously, is not final. In addition, the fee data were compiled from official statistics submitted to the Pentagon, which was widely criticized by the public to an underestimation of the real victims. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs - Department of the autonomous government of the Pentagon - the number of wounded has exceeded 50000.
Combat operations costs.
To date, $ 686 billion dollars were allocated for the war in Iraq since its inception in March 2003 to cover daily cash costs of combat operations, food, housing, transportation and supply of U.S. troops, the cost for the renovation, repair and replacement parts and training Iraqi forces. The amount of $ 200,000,000 is growing! every day, so that by the time you finish reading this article, it will grow by about half a million dollars! This trend will not be affected by major changes, at least until the end of 2009 in general expenses were approved in 2009 budget. Given that Obama has already announced the reduction and eventual withdrawal of troops from Iraq, it is possible to estimate roughly 130 billion rubles. still to come, provided that all soldiers will be withdrawn in 1,5-2 years. This gives a total of 816 billion rubles. U.S. direct expenditures, the costs of the war in Iraq. It also includes payment of $ 500,000 in death benefit payments, and life insurance to the families of those killed in Iraq.

Medical expenses.
These include all costs for treatment of medical problems in personnel, such as the explosion wounded arms and legs from improvised explosive devices, the historically high instances of traumatic brain damage, post-traumatic stress disorder. The group said doctors had predicted that the health of Iraq veterans could top $ 650 billion. We can also rely on data for veterans disability payments. For example, a veteran without a spouse or family that are 100 per cent of people with disabilities receive about $ 2400 a month by the Government. For 50 years, which could total more than 1.4 million dollars. Multiplying that number of disabled veterans will be added fully 10-15 billion dollars more. In addition, an increasing number of soldiers are not seeking care, they need that affects their ability to retain jobs, and that ultimately leads to higher costs invisible.

Military expenditure replenishment.
War in Iraq stretched the U.S. military dangerously thin. High levels of losses, more than half a decade has undermined the "human capital" of armed forces. Using the current difficulties in the recruitment of America will have to invest significant resources in troops to restore their pre-war level of strength, fitness and readiness. In addition, it may take more than a decade to fully recharge, and repair of military equipment and technology which have been significantly depleted by the war. Estimates show that over fifteen years of the military would need $ -375 $ 250 billion for the reconstruction of the entire armed forces.

The economic costs.
There are many economic costs surrounding the war in Iraq. First, there is the cost of deployment in Iraq, 40% of National Guard and reserve forces. Quantitative economic costs, it is the difference between civilian salary and that they would receive in their regular work and lower wages, they are usually paid in the reserves. Another economic costs of war victims. It is the individual income and their contribution to the economy in advance due to their death. Here also is the economic cost of these serious injuries, which includes the additional medical expenses, which the parties hold themselves apart from the fact that the government pays and the loss of economic services. Taking Stiglitz estimates made in 2006, and extrapolating its figures until today, we will receive approximately 200 billion dollars in economic costs that the U.S. incurred in connection with the war in Iraq.

Unrecorded expenses.
Now let's try to list the expenses that are obvious, but not quantifiable. Consider security. The war in Iraq, and, incidentally, the general instability in the Middle East has exacerbated the hatred toward the U.S. throughout the world. This, in turn, exacerbated the domestic threat of terror and made Americans less safe clearly and confidently. Of course, there are many negative consequences of this war they can not comprehend. Below is just a brief list of costs included higher ratings:
* All costs borne by other countries, including Iraq.
* The cost of planning the war.
* Prices for oil price volatility.
* The effects of loss of confidence
* Reduced demand due to anti-American sentiments (eg, loss of tourists)

Why Pakistan was ignored ?... India and China invited by President.Obama to attend the Annual G-8 Summit 2009 at Italy?

Fleshy bones thrown in the direction of India in the United States. In the recent events and developments in the relations between them, clearly confirms that the U.S. is appeasing India.


Generous and the extreme importance of United States extends to India, and over its strongest ally of Pakistan in the war against terror. For example, the civilian nuclear agreement, the invitation to India and China to participate in the exclusive G-8 Summit 2009 (ignoring Pakistan) held this month in Italy, the United States distancing from the Kashmir issue, describing it as a bilateral issue between India and Pakistan, not least the planned upcoming visit of Mrs. Hillary Clinton, U.S. Secretary of State in order to strengthen bilateral relations, describing India as a major developing countries in the world.

However, the fact that I do not understand this policy of inviting China together with India, President. Obama, while ignoring Pakistan. In addition, it makes me whether the war on terror is not a priority at G-8 members?. He has not been listed on the agenda of the 2009 Summit of the G-!

I have attached below a letter to the editor published in the daily newspaper Dawn in Pakistan, the provincial Minister of Culture and Tourism of Sindh, to express its concern at the fact that I told above about the G-8 Summit 2009.

/ / G-8 summit ignores Pakistan

Tuesday, July 14, 2009 | 02:07 AM PST
Each year, three-day summit of the Group of Eight leading industrialized countries was held recently in the area devastated by an earthquake less than 100 days ago. President Barrack Obama has invited colleagues from China, India, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico and other countries to it.

G-8 Summit is a great challenge to world leaders to address economic issues, the fight against hunger in the world and solve the problem of climate change, after last year's global financial crisis.

G-8 talks traditionally unite eight major countries: Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States. At the same time, the recent summit was expanded to include emerging powers such as China and India. In the talks also focused on the emerging political crisis in China's Xinjiang region, Iran and Honduras.

We know that the G-8 countries have suffered severe economic decline following the credit crisis in the United States, which quickly dragged world in its worst recession since the early 1930-ies. While I agree that climate change is an important issue as well and had to decide what can be said about the endless war on terror and war, as the situation that our country faces in the various fields. As a result of the turbulent situation, Pakistan is facing serious economic problems, but he was not even invited to the summit to discuss these.

Recently I read an article co-authored with Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France, and Luix Inla da Silva, President of Brazil, published in The New York Times. In this article, they talked about various global problems, but there is no mention of "terrorism", which allows you to wonder how they forgot to mention it as it is the most serious threats and challenges.

Then I came to learn about the G-8 on the agenda of the Summit, and I was very disappointed to learn that there is no mention of Pakistan in any place. I think, and I am sure that other people will agree with me that "terror" should have been at the summit agenda.

Many believe that the response of the U.S. administration against terrorism was a general in line with the concept of its own national interests, national prestige and power, and international positions.

Today, the Pakistani people to ask about their security and national interests. We do not want them to think that they are used as tissue paper, and nobody cares about the dignity, welfare and safety.

Our people believe that nothing can justify the continued drone attacks. But if the G-8 countries have no justification, then Pakistan should be included in the agenda of the summit.

There is a growing feeling among the defenders, who, despite the current global challenges and threats created by terrorists, human rights for all people, especially the poor and the weak must be protected.

Needless to say that terrorism as a tool of destabilization, both within and between nations, has become the biggest threat that must be properly as soon as possible.

I would like to stress that the G-8 and other First World countries should understand that Pakistan has lost a lot in this "war on terror." Our people, especially leaders like Benazir Bhutto, have made so many victims in this fight. I firmly believe that Pakistan should be a priority when planning for such international summits in the future.

SASSUI PALIJO
Minister of Culture and Tourism
The Government of Sindh Karachi / /

The issue of Pakistan, ignoring rising not only because the agenda didn't include in the war on terror, but also that Pakistan is as important country in South Asia, probably longer because front-line ally in the war against terror, but also a nuclear state, such as two other new invitees.It is a known fact that Pakistan and India have traditionally been, and not on good relations, and keeping the hosts inview should be realized that by offering one another can not send a message or not Vibes on one ignored.The confidence deficit could be even damaged.Thus in fairness, if India was invited to it, Pakistan should have!

BACK AND FORTH IN IRAN

Persia was the name of Iran in ancient times.

Today it is known as the Islamic Republic of Iran led by its leader clergy.

In a country with its capital, Tehran is situated between the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf, and consists of a central plateau surrounded by mountains.

The Islamic Republic was born 30 years ago on 1 April 1979.

In a country in ancient times, and culture is one of the largest oil-producing regions, the Middle East.

It seems that Iran owns 7.5 percent of total world oil reserves and 15 percent of world gas reserves.

India and Pakistan are interested to receive gas from Iran through a pipeline.

I do not know what happened to the big pipe project is lying.

After the fall and the dissolution of Iraq, neighboring countries, Iran is in the news because of his tough President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's dictatorial government.

Ahmadinejad is a staunch supporter of his own ideas and deadly against the Americans.

Iran's nuclear policy would be not very good for the American government and its allies.

Even if the Bush administration has not been so well and with Obama.

At the last election, Ahmadinejad stated that he had received more than 60 percent of the votes and won the election.

But the majority of world supports Iran Hossein Mousavi, the opposition candidates, which is relatively soft, not for recognition of the election verdict.

They believe that Ahmadinejad was a fraud.

There is a big fight after the election takes place between the two groups.

Moussaoui appealed the election results.

Moussaoui Supporters Protest in Tehran say that it is a 'stolen election. "

Ignoring election, according to Moussaoui, Ahmadinejad said his country will continue to play an important international role in the coming days.

During the first press conference held after his re-election, he noted that the election of a football match played by two teams, and the loser should just let it go.

Logically, he is right, but why the confusion after the election?

If the elections were free and fair, it makes no sense to criticize the validity of the election.

This is unfair elections in Iran?

If so, that is the point of protest by the Iranians.

I could see a huge crowd in television assembly in Tehran to protest against the electoral victory of Ahmadinejad.

The integrity of the election being questioned in connection with the deliberate closure of SMS services throughout Iran, and an incredibly low voices of reformist leader Musawi, in his hometown of Tabriz.

If the question Moussaoui and his supporters will be successful?

If yes, how?

Or there should be a revolution to overthrow the elected government of Ahmadinejad.

There is an element of external support from the United States and Britain in the Moussaoui.

Americans and Britons do not want to see Ahmadinejad once again in power, because its confrontationist attitude and insist on making Iran a nuclear power.

The international influence on Iran to overthrow Ahmadinejad, obviously, expected.

Only time will tell us the future of Iran.

In street battles shook Tehran.

Seven people lost their lives in the fire.

In addition, the government organized a huge rally in central Tehran.

Witnessed the two sides fighting in the streets, Aytollah Ali Khamenei, for the Supervisory Board to declare June 16, 2009 that it was ready to move forward on the recount of disputed ballot boxes.

But the news was wrong.

What else can they do?

Jun 19, 2009 Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamnei strongly endorsed the results of disputed presidential election and warned the protesters to keep out of the street.

His reasoning that the margin of victory in favor of Ahmadinejad suggests that counterfeiting is not possible.

But Mir Hossein Mousavi MahmoudAhmadinejad accused of lying about the economy of Iran said, "We are against the person who said black is white, and four times four equals five. He looks into the camera and is self-confidence."

Ahmadinejad, at the same time said that Moussaoui and other competitors should be in jail for their comments. He added: "Nobody has the right to insult the president"

This is the fate of Iran at the present time.

Let's wait for a better future for Iran.
