Increasing Your Wealth by Increasing Your Financial Literacy
Perhaps the primary message of Rich Dad, Poor Dad is increasing basic financial literacy. Perhaps I should say financial literacy for the common man and woman. The reason I say this is because the principles taught in the book are very simple--the fundamental personal finance. Some people may even say the what Kiyosaki teaches is da

The term casual game is a way to refer to a category of games that have evolved around the wants of the non-hardcore gamer. They commonly have characteristics of early arcade games; extremely simple game play, can play in short bursts, and typically no plot. But the demographic that spends the most time online playing these games might be surprising to some.

Just to put things into the proper prospective and why this is important consider the following figures. According to a recent Nielson NetRatings report over 46 million people a month visit online game sites. This works out to be over one third of all Americans who have online access. The estimated annual sales of casual games is reported at $281 million and projected to reach over a billion dollars by 2011 according to DFC Intelligence. This represents a large and growing market.

According to popular belief you may believe that males or teens rule the online market. In this case you would be wrong. Middle-aged women (35-49) in fact hold this honor. For example approximately 66% of MSN gamers are female, RealNetworks reports between 60-70%, other portals also report similar percentages. They not only represent the largest demographic they also spend the most time playing. A study conducted for AOL showed female gamers over 40 spent approximately 41% of their online time gaming vs. 26% for men.

With this information at hand companies have gone about to try to satisfy this core audience. Some of the first wildly successful casual games were very gender neutral. Think of Tetris, Bejeweled or Zuma. Some recent games you would assume were developed specifically targeted for women. For example, titles like Cake Mania, Carrie the Caregiver, or Dream Day Wedding come to mind. Microsoft has also stated this demographic as one of the driving forces for developing Xbox Live Arcade for the Xbox 360. They understand if they want to reach this audience they needed

So what is the motivation of these gaming gals? One recent study may give us some indication.

Of course let’s not forget one other possible obvious reason; they’re simply fun to play!

The cover letter is most effective when it introduces the job seeker to the reader. Like a sort of written handshake, the cover letter introduces the person, his credentials and desired direction for the future.
