TeNo - discover your desire

Finaly after 4 years, Switzerland ellected a new Mr. Gay again at the end of last year and Teno was sponsor. The audience could adore different TeNo jewelry like colliers, bracelets, necklaces and watches. On the picture above you can see a YuKoN bracelet on his arm and a DyKon collier on his neck.

After a few selection rounds only 2 candidates were left: Tobias Dickenmann (from Thurgo where our bureau in Switzerland is) and the 23 years old Ricco Rimus Müller from Graubünden, who got voted most beautiful gay in Switzerland. At least for this year. ;-)

The proud first third placed recieved a watch, a collier and a YuKoN bracelet from TeNo. After being elected first Ricco said: “I am speechless and anxious about the future and what will happen.” in an interview with a sign language interpreter. Ricco is from birth on deaf. But dispite this fact he is determined to strengthen the rights and interests of the gay community in Switzerland. Especialy this year, because the Europride will come to Zurich and the eyes of the gay and lesbian world will be on Switzerlands capital.

The TeNo family wishes you a successful and exiting year 2009!

Juergen posted a few days ago in the german TeNo-Blog about a billard table made of glas. This would be nice for our billard team. But as Jürgen asked I’m also wondering if it is even possible to play billard on that table without ruining it? ;-) Or maybe someday they can combine it with the digital billard trainer.

As some of you may know, TeNo is sponsoring a successful billard team. Not everyone is as good as they are, so here is something that might help you improve your billard skills. The program shows you where the balls will go, depending on how hard you hit them of course. It might not work to 100 %, but as you can see in the video it’s surprisingly precise sometimes. But maybe it’s not the program’s fault that the players can’t aim good enough. A good help for starters, but I doubt that professionals will need that. :-)

As in every year on the first december, we have the World Aids Day. Stopping the spread, educate especially the younger people and helping people who have the HIV and often face discrimination are just a few aims of this years world wide event.

TeNo also gets involved by sponsoring various organsiations and events. As in this year we’re supporting the cover me tombola in Cologne, Germany, a charity concert with many stars by donating watches and jewelry with a total value of 2500€. The concert took place on the 29 of november and all guests didn’t take any money for it. The money gathered will go to the Lebenshaus der Aidshilfe Köln, who help handicaped people to live a normal and independent life to avoid medical dependence.

Diana Statecnzy took part in the Amway Women’s World Championship and made a good start. Here is a brief review of the first day. As you can see from reading it, Diana lost against Jeanette Lee, but that was the only match she had lost up to that point and she still had a chance of hanging on in there and being one of the finalists. As you can see in the photo in the article linked at the top, TeNo also had a prominent placing. :) Day two also went well for Diana obviously, for this is what was written:
