    TIDAL POWER
    November 26, 1966 - Rance Estuary, Brittany

    President Charles de Gaulle opened the world's first tidal power station at Rance estuary, in Brittany. La Rance is the most powerful tidal power plant in the world. With its width of 700 metres, it blocks La Rance estuary situated near Saint-Malo (Côtes d'Armor). The operation of the dam is similar to that of run-of-river power plants since its head is also low and there is a substantial flow rate. At high and low tide, the water builds up rapidly on one of the sides of the dam. When the difference in level is sufficient, the gates are opened and the water rushes into the dam. The turbines are reversible so as to be able to operate regardless of the direction of water flow. Each year, the power plant generates 500 million kWh.

ARTICLE CONTENT :

Each time you play casino games online, you could fall prey to scam artists. It does not matter whether you play American roulette, blackjack, slots, keno or any other gambling game, you should constantly be aware of the possible online scams and take all necessary preventive steps to avoid being scammed. You can have a lot of fun playing online, provided that you preclude scams from interfering with your game. By observing the following steps, you can ensure a much safer gambling experience on the Internet.

- Before you ever sign up for any gambling site, make certain you have installed the latest anti-spyware and virus protection on your personal computer. You are also suggested to choose the automatic updating and scanning feature.

- Seek reputable sites only. Steer clear of new sites or the ones you are not able to find information about. You can turn to online gamblers that you know personally or check up gambling or news websites or other sources. The best advice: if you cannot find any dependable information on an online casino site, steer clear of it.

- Do not loan money to other online gamblers that you do not know in person. There are scammers that will begin conversations with you and carry on interacting for long periods of time just to gain your confidence. You may even meet some scammers who will promise to pay you off more.

- Do not reveal personal data by email, or respond to emails sent by online gambling sites. Some online gambling scams use e-messages that are purportedly sent by reputable websites, but they are actually a scam. Any time you have to update or change your personal information, do it on the main website only.

- Do not download any software program that promises it can assist you in playing any online gambling games. Some will state that it is possible to see other gamblers' cards, or help you win. However, these types of applications are likely to be a scam.

- steer clear of sites that guarantee you will win. When it comes to gambling, it is impossible to guarantee a win, and you are likely to lose more often than win.

Stay alert! Once you find a reputable site, stick to it.
