Sophomore quarterbacks aren't supposed to do what Justice Hansen (Edmond, Okla./Santa Fe) did Friday night.
Down 36-34 with 1:06 left in the fourth quarter in a hostile environment, Hansen led Edmond Santa Fe on a 65-yard drive that culminated with a 20-yard touchdown pass with 22 seconds left in a 40-36 win at Lawton, Okla.
But if you ask Edmond Santa Fe coach Lance Manning, Hansen isn't like most sophomore quarterbacks.
"We don't really treat him like a sophomore," Manning said. "He has such a great understanding of the game and is only getting better."
Hansen, 6-foot-4 and 190 pounds, knows the expectations. He performed well at OU's camp in the summer and hasn't disappointed.
He has rushed for five touchdowns and thrown for seven more. Against a talented Lawton defense, he rushed for one score and threw for two.
"Every game is a learning process for me. Every game I keep saying is the craziest game I've been a part of," Hansen said.
Hansen is already among one of the best pure passers in the state. But what he is showing through the first half of the regular season is he is a physical runner, too.
On that final drive, Hansen completed five of his six passes for 65 yards. Three of those completions, including the game-winning score, went to junior Trevan Smith.
Smith is the younger brother of former OU defensive back Reggie Smith. Trevan Smith might be quicker than his brother, but he is smaller.
Trevan Smith is 5-foot-8 and 165 pounds, but he keeps making plays. He has rushed for three touchdowns, caught passes for three more and returned a kickoff for a score.
Smith's elusiveness in open space makes him such a threat any time he touches the ball. On the game-winning touchdown, he juked two defenders with his feet before scoring.
"I don't really think about things. I'm doing what comes naturally to me," Smith said.
In the game, Smith had an 81-yard touchdown run, an interception and a forced fumble. He also showed his physicality in taking out a defender on a block to spring another touchdown. Smith is receiving some attention from OU and is also being recruited by Penn State.
Edmond Santa Fe was 4-16 in the last two seasons. It is 4-1 this year, and Hansen and Smith are two big reasons why college coaches will be flocking to the Edmond school the next couple of years.
* * *
Any worries about the health of Lawton defensive end D.J. Ward are over. Ward, who has an OU offer, was dominant against Edmond Santa Fe.
Ward had seven tackles, two sacks and recovered two fumbles. His explosiveness off the snap was back, and Edmond Santa Fe simply had no answer on how to contain him.Ward injured his shoulder three weeks ago.
Ward has visited OU twice this year and was at TCU on Saturday.

As many parents have learned the world over, not every program will work for every child, every time. Sometimes you have to take bits and pieces of different programs and meld them together to suit your individual child.
For the most part, The Total Transformation Program has worked beautifully all on its own without any supplemental help. We've seen real progress in both our sons, Thomas (11) and Brandon (8). We've seen progress in ourselves, as well. (We're about to go into week three now, identifying how to be coaches in the learning process our children are going through to gain coping skills.)
Just a week after receiving the Total Transformation Program, I had also received another book that talked about a different set of consequences. Since the Total Transformation Program doesn't start with changing how you discipline the kids, I decided to use the philosophies from the book, "Don't Swear with Your Mouth Full!" by Dr. Cary Chugh.
When I interviewed Dr. Chugh about his book, I mentioned that I had just begun the Total Transformation Program and he had positive things to say about it, too. He suggested I could use both programs, simultaneously. I would use his "behavior-based" techniques while I absorbed the lessons I needed to learn about parenting from the Total Transformation Program. He said the two could work well together — and indeed they have.
In a previous blog post, I spoke about talking to the kids about using the Total Transformation Program to make changes to how we, my husband Jerry and I, were parenting them. I explained the steps to corrective action and how that reinforces the idea of accountability.
One also has to understand that with autism (which both boys have) skills in one area do not sometimes transition to other areas. In this instance, Brandon has practiced listening to me telling him to pick up his laundry, so he no longer argues over that. Thomas has learned he cannot argue his way out of eating what I have cooked for supper but he still argues over picking out his clothes (getting dressed) in the morning. Brandon still argues about listening to me about picking up his toys. It's all about listening to me the first time, no matter what the request is — but to the boys, each thing being requested is different, therefore each "listening" is different, and we have to go through the drill for each type of offense.
As we progress into the next week (Week Three), I know we're going to learn about creating a culture of accountability. The kids are already aware that they have the control over their behavior and their choices anyway; Mom and Dad are just in charge. So this ties in really well with the idea of accountability which is defined in the Total Transformation program this way: "Someone who is accountable is completely responsible for what they do."
And therefore one can see that these two programs together can work in tandem. I'm still not sure as I've told the kids whether or not these discipline techniques will change when I get to that part of the Total Transformation program, but I do know this: sometimes it's okay to take what works from one program and put it to use with another program, especially when the programs have complementary features.
The next program I want to explore is "Getting Through to Your Child." This is also another program by James Lehman, so I know it'll complement what I am already learning with the Total Transformation. This is for that particular nasty subject: verbal abuse. My oldest can be the foulest mouth on the block when asked or told to do something or not to do something. He listens and he complies, but he sure has learned how to let you know how he feels about it — and you — in the process. I'm sure I'll learn a lot from that program as well.
Stay tuned… "Lessons Learned Week 3" is a post coming up soon!

Continuing on with the Chicago Bears end of the year evaluation series, we take a look at the running back position that failed to live up to the expectations put on them before the season.
Matt Forte: Forte finished the season rushing for 1094 yards off 248 carries, and five rushing touchdowns. The veteran RB also average 4.4 yards per carry in a year where offensive coordinator Mike Tice ran a scheme that didn't utilize Forte strengths. Forte strength as a runner is attacking the outsides; rather it's on RB counters, stretch plays, and power O's, Forte has the ability to get to the outside and take it to the house. Forte receiving numbers dipped this season, but he still racked up 1434 total yards.
A lot of reasons why Forte regressed this season as a football player with some of the blame going on himself. Most of the blame however goes to Tice utilization of the once pro bowl RB and the fact an ankle injury hampered Forte all season.
2013 Outlook: One of the main points general manager Phil Emery highlighted in his press conference this past Tuesday was getting Forte more involved in the passing attack. The screen game was obviously missing this year from the offense and that was an aspect Forte shined best in the past few seasons. The next offensive mind rather it's Mike McCoy, Bruce Arians, or Mike Sullivan, should be able to get the best out of Forte in 2013. Forte is too good of a talent to allow another average season.
2012 Grade: B+
Michael Bush: Bush had a good season if you're looking at it from a back-up RB perspective. Bush was mainly used in short yardage situation, so the 3.6 yards per rush looks pretty solid when looked at in that light. Bush was put on injured reserve with a rib injury after week 15, but Bush showed fans this season that he's a solid compliment to Forte.
2013 Outlook: Bush future is up in the air with Chicago. While Bush in my opinion performed well this season for what his role consist of, I doubt that Emery want to invest so much into the RB position moving forward. He can certainly look for a much cheaper option late in the draft or find someone else on the roster to take Bush place. Look for the Bears to shop Bush in the off-season.
2012 Grade: B-
Armando Allen: Allen was called up from the practice squad when Lorenzo Booker was put on injured reserve with a head injury. He finished the season rushing for 124 yards off 27 carries and one touchdown.
2013 Outlook: Allen will have to fight for a roster spot in the off-season, but he's a good change of pace back to have as your third RB on the roster.
2012 Grade: C
Khalil Bell: Bell was cut twice during the season and saw action in the team's final two games of the season.
2013 Outlook: Considering the Bears will have a whole new offensive coaching staff, that doesn't help Bell case to stick on with the team.
2012 Grade: D
Harvey Unga: Unga spent most of the season on the practice squad and was called up for the final game of the season.
2013 Outlook: Don't know if the Bears still view Unga as a RB anymore, and they already have their fullback of the future on the roster in Evan Rodriguez. Unga likely won't be on the roster after this season.
2012 Grade: INC

I put my trust in you. It was so unbelievable!
You said that you know everything about me...!
But that is totally wrong.
You?! You only know the negative part. This meant not everything about me.
What a fool!
Why do you have this personality?
You take the freedom to say things which hurt really bad.
They hurt.
They destroy.
They make me angry.
YOU made ME angry.
And what did I do? Yes! I put my trust in you.
And what did you do? You've abused it.
What a fool I was.
Why did I do this?
I should have already finished this when you hurt me the first time.
You upset me.
However, with your aching words you made me stronger!
And I am not the person who has got a problem.
One year ago you were so nice.
And by the time I got to know the other side of you.
And my mind about you has changed.
You've opened my eyes.
And the reason why I did this?
You've enchanted me with your aura.
The beautiful-looking aura with its black soul.

Medication is not a one size fits all. New migraine medications are constantly being designed, tested and approved by the FDA. Hopefully you know by now that Botox was officially approved by the FDA back in 2010.
Botox works by paralyzing "hyperactive nerve cells the way it paralyses muscles" using a series of injections.
Its success rates continue to climb.
Even newer are: CGRP receptor antagonists, inhaled DHE, Doxycycline and Memantine just to get you started on a few new migraine medications and future potential treatment options.
CGRP receptor antagonists is a new class of medication being tested for potential abortive migraine therapy. "CGRP is a chemical released from nerve endings that causes vasodilation as part of inflammation. A pill version of a drug that blocks CGRP has proven effective at quelling migraines within two hours in about two-thirds of people, according to one preliminary study." (Rizzoli et al., 2011, p. 139).
So, the "CGRP's dilate blood vessels along the meninges and flourish during migraines. The drug that shuts them down may fix migraines as often and longer than triptans, and without tripping warnings for patients with heart problems." (Levy, 2009, p. 207).
However, there is much more research being done to test for side effects before the FDA will approve it.
Initial testing has shown that this special inhaled form of DHE curbed migraine pain in only ten minutes. The lungs are an excellent quick absorption delivery system. This drug also was found to ease nausea and sensitivity to light and sound in the early testing. (Rizzoli et al., 2011, p. 139).
This drug is normally used for something else, which is the way most new migraine medications in the past have been discovered.
Doxycycline is a common antibiotic that fights bacteria in the body.
According to drugs.com "Doxycycline is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, such as urinary tract infections, acne, periodontitis (gum disease) and chlamydia."
Case reports, according to Doctors Rizzoli, et al, authors of The Migraine Solution, suggest a significant benefit when used with "new daily persistent headache" or unusual patterns of migraine.
This is a N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor blocker medication that is normally used to treat memory disorders (Parkinson's Disease). In small studies, it has also shown some benefit to reduce the pain of migraine along with associated aura symptoms.
More studies are needed to see if these new migraine medications will be approved by the FDA for migraine treatment.
You might want to consider filling out this questionnaire for your
primary-care provider to help your determine the level of pain and
disability your migraines cause and find the best possible treatment
• MIDAS – Migraine Disability Assessment Questionnaire
I listened to an interesting interview yesterday where a doctor said she preferred 'good' patients who were organized. Those who had a note book, clear symptoms written down, a failed medications list and questions.
There is a good chance you will need to see a few doctors in your search for pain management. At the very least see your regular physician and a migraine specialist. You may also be referred to a Rheumatologist, Neurologist, and or a Migraine Clinic.
We have some other forms to print out that might help keep it all clear:
• Blank Medication Treatment Plan
We can buy almost anything over the internet these days. Please only get your prescriptions from a reliable source. I realize this may be more expensive, but I think it is more important to be safe than sorry (or dead)!
Talk to your pharmacist, they are a wealth of information especially if you have a new prescription drug.

While tourists can get by in all of those countries with just english if you are going to live there full time and deal with all of the local shopkeepers and workmen I fear you would have a lot of trouble getting along without a substantial amount of the local language.

There are plenty of Britons who live in Europe, in parts of France and Spain in particular, who never learn even the most basic phrases.
I am British and live in the Netherlands. Whilst you could get by most of the time without learning the language there are times it is essential to know it, such as doctors visits, school contacts, official documents, even just making friends.
You could move to the Netherlands and take lessons, just as you could in any country. It is what we did.
To expect to live in a country where in English is not the first language and to never learn the language of the that country is not only self limiting in your enjoyment of your new home, but an incredibly ignorant and arrogant thing to do.

"You could move to the Netherlands and take lessons, just as you could in any country."
But if you moved before the Brexit referendum, you'd be taking a colossally foolish risk.
Mainland Europe will be there after the referendum, and straightforward holidays or quick business trips will be only trivially affected if Britain votes to leave. But, since the most politically influential argument for leaving is immigration control, it's nigh on certain we'll lose our ability to move to the continent long-term the instant we reintroduce Customs officers at Dover.
As long as the current uncertainty remains, the only place in Europe it makes any sense to consider relocating to is Ireland. And even that will become doubtful if Britain votes to leave the EU.
If you want to live somewhere else, check out the rules for moving to Australia, NZ or Canada.

all of these scare stories about Breixt. millions of expats already live outside the UK. Loads of EU nationals live in the UK. Agreements will not end over night, if at all. The likes of Norway and Switzerland are good examples of this.
However the OP should ask this question about moving on an Expat forum. They have a better idea of where to move, but all will say you will need some basics of the lingo.

>>Seriously how can you get along in another country in only english? there is just way too much that is only in the local language:<<
It is definitely better to learn the local lingo but does not prevent anyone from moving to Denmark or Sweden. I don't speak Swedish and live (part time) in the middle of nowhere in Sweden, not some big city. When I call the local council for something, they speak English. Workmen speak English, the guy at the recycling centre speaks English, the chimney sweep and the oil delivery man speaks English, the ladies that work in systembolaget speaks English, everyone speaks English at the local shops, railway station, petrol station, bakery etc.
It's the same situation in Denmark with English spoken almost everywhere.
Cyprus is another country that is super easy for non Greek speakers to live in, official docs can be translated (not by google).

'but an incredibly ignorant and arrogant thing to do.'
That is what all my British friends say and think. However we keep sepaking english with them
I was last week with 2 great english friends (here too, I apologize for befriending these arrogant bastards who burned 'la Pucelle' but I can't help myself I like Britain...) and I spoke french to the husband and english with his wife (don't ask why...
On the other hand my neighbour is Scottish, has lived in Belgium for at least 25 years and doesn't speak ONE word of french - cannot even say 'bonjour'. Nobody talks to him - none of us understands english when he is around.

"Agreements will not end over night, if at all. "
The Brexit problem isn't the "scare story" Brexiteers claim every time anyone points out their collective delusions about EU withdrawal.
Few people in Britain care about free trade, whatever Boris' definition of sovereignty is this month or whether our legal rights should derive from the British way of doing things or from a European convention.
We're having a Brexit poll because of the pressure the Tory party were suffering from UKIP. And UKIP threatened Tory seats because of widespread fears about uncontrollable, tax-subsidised, EU immigration.
If Brexit wins, it'll be because a majority of voters want to see an end to that immigration: and if we withdraw other EEA states' uncontrolled immigration rights, they will inevitably withdraw our reciprocal right to live and work wherever in the EEA we want.
The poster wants to move to somewhere: not take a brief visit. No-one in their right mind moves anywhere there's a real risk of being deported from in a year or ten.
Few Brexiteers, of course, can appreciate the concept of a sane human being. That's why they scream "scare story" at all arguments they think might undermine their case.
I'd seriously consider voting to leave (I've absolutely no interest in living somewhere with zero economic growth and no proper footpaths) if it weren't for the lamentable level of arguments from the Brexit Bunch.
Report Abuse
You make a valid point Flanner. I doubt OP could move to somewhere in Europe before June 23rd, but if they did, and they have a job in their chosen country I fully expect that country would just issue a work and residence permit to them. It makes for another layer of bureaucracy it's true, but they wouldn't be kicked out over night because Britain votes to leave, any more that Britain would leave the EU on June 24th, much as Farage would like that. (Off topic I wonder what he will do if Brexit becomes a fact, when he can no longer live off the Euro MP gravy train, and his party becomes obsolete.)
My eldest son could be in a tricky situation being self employed here, but given he has lived here legally for 32 years I can't see the Dutch throwing him, or us, as pensioners, out. The other two sons are gainfully employed, and one is married to a Dutch woman, so should be safe enough. Pensionados in Spain and France might be on trickier ground though.
It is possible to move to another country when you do not speak the language - lets face it millions do every year, but it is advantageous to learn the language of your new country asap.
Report Abuse
OP it is not only speaking a different language you will have to over come. It also comes down to the skills you have to offer. What are they?
Some countries may require you to do some further education others will also want your certificates translated.
May I add you should not worry about the "Bye Bye Brits issue" because you may think we have a free Europe but those if those skills of yours are not required neither have you obtain any certificates along the way. Free Europe is not for you. Here in Spain in order to register you have to now prove you have an income. No income, no registration, maybe no housing, no job.

Denmark is a good choice - everyone speaks English and pretty much every major company is an English-language workplace. Switzerland or the Netherlands might work too.
Seriously how can you get along in another country in only english?
It really isn't that hard.

Or, like in the 21st century I guess - people from different nationalities and cultures meeting around a common language. My company has an office in Switzerland that has something like 300 people and, IIRC, 50 different nationalities. Amazingly, it seems to work and none of the Swiss employees seem terribly hung up over working with non-Swiss people. Indeed, I have had several tell me how much they value working in a diverse workplace.
It comes down to how much one values diversity and inclusion. There are certainly some cultures that are more close-minded and less inclusive, but that doesn't mean every place is or should be like that. Certainly, in the business world, being less diverse is correlated to lesser performance.

The one qualifier I would add to flanner's estimation of the potential situation is that I doubt if the barriers would go up in Ireland overnight. There's a rather more extended set of historical reasons why since 1922 we've had a common travel area and the various other special arrangements between the UK and the Republic.

Nothing wrong with English being the universal in the work place, but you should learn the local language if you are intending to stay in a country for more than 6 months to a year.
It really pees me off to listen to Brits living in Spain for decades who can't even manage a single word of Spanish, but happily sit around and criticise all the immigrants to the U who never learn English.
There will always be third world immigrant women who never learn the language of their new country, simply because they don't get the opportunity to, usually due to their menfolk, and illiteracy, but there is no excuse for an educated person not to learn the language of the country in which they reside.

Hi Travel,
Working in an intenrational company and living in a country are 2 different things.
All my colleagues I know (UK, Polish, German, Italian, Brazilian, etc) all speak at least some french, and all the locals (french) speak at least english (and most of them a third language - since I'm Belgian I added a 4th - we all speak english at work, but it is interesting to speak some local language, unless you spend all your time at work or with your expat friends.
I would avoid speaking at home to a guy who doesn't want to learn french, and I'm not alone. But if you want to live in your world in a foreign country - ok for me.

You could try Denmark. Lots of English spoken there.
My niece was in school there some years ago and was required to take Danish. She was very frustrated because ever Danish student she met spoke perfect English and had not patience for her attempts to try to use her Danish. They couldn't be bothered and immediately would switch to English, so if you are for real, Denmark might suit you.

I was expecting replies from people telling me "you need to learn their language" or " you need to adopt to their culture" or whatever but I just wanna live in a country where they speak English since English is my mother tongue/native language. I feel much more comfortable at expressing myself in English then in a foreign language.
I could'nt see myself living in a country speaking a foreign language 24/7. I'm not interested in speaking/learning a foreign language. I just wanna live in a country where I feel like I belong & where they speak my language.
I live in Britain but I dislike the British & I know they dislike me. I also hate the British lifestyle & lots of things about "Britain" I dont like. I could elaborate but therse so may small things its too long to list. Even thought I'm English/"British" I dont feel "British" at all I was born in the wrong country.
Anyway the only countries in Europe where they speak English fluently are: Denmark,Norway,Sweden,Holland & Iceland if I'm not mistaken?? But I dont think you can live in either of those countries even if they speak English cause you need to lean their language.
LIke another poster said if you think about it all the paperwork,electricy/water bills,directions,road signs,food labels,websites will all be in their language & NOT in English. SO for those who are saying you can live in those countries if you only speak Enlgish are wrong arent they??

2) In Scandinavian countries, many websites have an English language version. My bank in Denmark, for example, had a complete English language online banking site, where I could do anything someone could do on the Danish site.

According to this article https://www.thrillist.com/travel/nation/what-countries-in-europe-speak-english it shows the Netherlands are the most fluent in English as 90% of them speak English
However the reality is different I've been to Holland & most stuff were in Dutch & most people spoke Dutch ( the news forecast on tv, the cashier at Mcdonalds, the women at the petrol station,etc...)
Also the reason I wouldnt wanna live in a country where English isnt the official language is the obivous language barrier. For example what happens when you go to the doctor or have to call an ambulance & explain yourself, you'd have to do it in a foreign language not in English they could misdiagnose you.
I'm not close minded or lazy to learn a new language, I was forced to move abroad by my parents at the age of 10 & lived in France until I was 24 years old!! And I never fitted in, "I didnt feel myself" speaking French & felt uncomfortable I always felt like I a foreigner & didnt belong there.
You can learn the language however what happens if you have an argument with someone the fact is you'll always lose an argument cause you wont know how to swear/curse in their language ( i'm not saying you should go to a country trying to start an argument but it happens). You'll need to express yourself in a foreign language not in your native language
The truth is if English is your mothertongue the words that first come to your mind when you think or speak will be English words not foreign words so you'll need to translate all the words in your mind before speaking. The language barrier is a BIG problem.
If English was the official language in Europe there wouldnt be any language barrier would there?? I read an article where a German MP suggested English ot be the official language in ALL European countries & I agree its a good idea. Look at the USA theres people of all different nationalities & they all speak English
@Whathello Are you French or Belgian?? The main reason why I'm looking to live in a country where they speak English is casue I've experienced the language barrier living in France for over 10 years. Having to speak French 24/7 it doesnt feel natural for an Englishman. Also even if you take classes to learn the language they dont teach you "swear words" incase you get into an argument/fight with a local. And qnother big problem is talking to French girls.
Say you wanna say "one night stand", "friends with benefits", "revenge sex", "meaningless sex", "casual sex" or "f*** buddies" how do you say these terms in French?? I've tryed to translate it on google translate however it doesnt meake any sense in French lmao so theres no way to say it?? I'd very interested in your reply & whether you can translate it??

I am British, I live in the Netherlands and have done for over 30 years.
It depends very much on what work you do, and where you live in the country whether you need to learn Dutch. Not all documents are translated into English, not every company has English as a working language, not every doctor/dentist/medical professional/civil servant you meet will have excellent English.
You have to register with the local council, you have to exchange your driving licence after a certain period of time, so you will have to deal with local government people, who may or may not speak English.
You hate the British yet you don't want to learn another language. The Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries are far more like Britain than you perhaps would care to know.
Without learning the local language you will be restricted in your friendships - often only to other Britons as the locals tire of having to communicate with you in a foreign language.
Have you bee to any of these countries and seen what they are like?
Perhaps you need to consider emigrating to somewhere outside Europe to a country which speaks English but has a non-European culture.

Or Costa geriatrica in Spain, full of English only ex-pats.
Seriously you need to consider where you can get employment, and work at learning another language if you want to settle in any of the countries you have listed. When you start to speak the language of the country you make friends with locals, and you will learn some of the less than delightful phrases you are looking to know. I can swear just as well in Dutch as I can in English.

To be fair the OP does not hate the British
"I live in Britain but I dislike the British & I know they dislike me" and "even though I'm English/"British"

BTW England is a little odd as it doesn't have an official language. Makes you think.
It might be useful to start listing the things you do like about life so we can see if there are countries that would more naturally fit your style. I always feel it is better to move towards something rather than away from something.

Neutralview, heaven help me but I find myself agreeing with some of your points.
First off, I don't think you have to defend your personal preference to anyone. You don't feel comfortable in any language other than English? Then that's how it is.
I agree with you, in part, because my parents were immigrants to the US. My dad was never comfortable in English, despite speaking it and reading it very well and living in the US for over 40 years. He was obviously decent at languages--try living in a language other than your own!--but perhaps one needs to be brilliant at them to speak idiomatically, make jokes, curse, and feel at home.
I grew up speaking two languages interchangeably, but my ability to live comfortably with Russian atrophied as I was surrounded by English at school. I can still speak it, but cursing, joking, and so on, well, I can hang, as they say, but not with ease.
Neutralview, perhaps you should look into emigrating to the US or Canada.
However, keep in mind that English is not actually the official language of the US--we don't have one, technically.

You are very wellcome in Portugal!
We have a large amount of British people living here, mostly in Algarve, and people from other countries that usualy speak English besides their mother language, living mostly in Alentejo. Portuguese don't speak (write) very good English, but if you can understand this I'm writting, then you are ok here (as I don't have any degree in English and never lived abroad). However here in Portugal we learn English at school (for at least 5 years). Nowadays kids are starting with english lessons in kindergarden. We are, I think (not sure) the only country in Europe where tv programs (talk-shows, movies, series, etc) are in the original language (with subtitles in Portuguese) except Disney and that kind of channels for kids. Besides, Portugal is known for Port Wine, and owners are mostly English (name of main cellars: Sandeman, Kopke, Offley, Burmester, etc). These families still live in Portugal (Posto and Douro).
That said...
If you need a job, think better before coming here. We have a high rate of unemployment! And yes, we are a poor Country.
Last but not least: if (for some reason) you intend to come to Portugal, do not even try to learn our language. At least at first. It is really difficult! But that never stopped us for living elsewhere, as we are all over the world.
Wish you well!

It seems to me that if you really want to live in a country where most people speak English and business/government is conducted in english you really should be looking at Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
Not sure you would be comfortable in the US since there are places where pockets of people do speak other languages. For instance, we live on the upper west side of NY and we often get ads/mailings in Spanish since not far north of us a lot of people speak primarily spanish.
However, how do you know you will be "comfortable" in those places or welcomed or whatever your problem is. but at least you could communicate with everyone - although there will be idioms that are different in each one that you will have to learn.
As for what you seem to what - which is that every country in europe operate in english - well that ain't happening. The whole world is not going to change just for you. Also - you never responded to my suggestion of Ireland - where they do speak English and presumably you would be allowed to live without having to apply for immigration.
Separately, you seem to have been unhappy and felt unwelcome wherever you go. Have you gone to any of these places to see if you feel any more comfortable there - without whatever problems there are that bother you in the UK?
After all, the simple fact is that we all carry our attitudes and opinions around with us - and if you are just basically unhappy perhaps you should think about doing things that make you more happy - rather than uprooting your whole life. You say nothing about career, family, friends, etc that you would be giving up - perhaps you need some help learning to make connections where you are.

I'm not Swedish but live in Sweden. I learned the language because I live here and wanted to fit in and one of the only ways to do that is to learn the language- imo. Even if people know English here they don't necessarily speak it. Not even to me and I have English as a mother tongue which must be obvious when I speak. My Swedish must just be sooo good.
Maybe younger people are more apt to speak English but the crowds I run with are Swedish speaking. I think that after a while of living somewhere you'd want to learn the language in order to understand the nuances and to follow along a conversation since people will revert back to their native language by nature in a group. I noticed I rarely use slang/swear words in Swedish since speaking it feels unnatural and would rather use my English for that.

Without we know what work you do it is going to be very hard to seriously come up with any suggestions for you.
Moving to another country, any country, whether they speak the same language as you or not, or even within your own country, requires hard work on your part. You have to start over, build up new contacts, make new friends, and above all be open to new experiences and opportunities. If you go with a negative attitude you will get negativity back.
Ireland is a separate country, with friendly people. But then again I have always found friendly people wherever I have lived in the UK, because I made a point of being friendly, of joining things to make new friends.
Moving to the Netherlands was really hard work, not only a new move, a new language but a culture sufficiently different to my own to require some understanding and effort on my part to adapt to. It hasn't been easy, and I still feel a foreigner here at times. Without putting in the effort to fit in I would feel that even more though.
Work is hard to find everywhere in Europe, and you will not be welcome as a benefits migrant anywhere, so you need to consider how you will earn a living, and maybe look at job vacancies in different countries to see what there is and what they are looking for.

The Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, formerly known as the Lady Byng Trophy, is presented each year to the National Hockey League "player adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability". The Lady Byng Memorial Trophy has been awarded 88 times to 53 different players since it was first awarded in 1925. And that includes Cold.

Sorry to disappoint you, whathello, but I was the one others came to to help them translate letters, make phone calls, etc. I am far from fluent in French but did quite well, thanks in part to taking lessons every week for 10 months of every year we were in France, from engaging with our neighbors, the mayor and the village council, etc.

Bandwidth monitoring with vnStat
If you want to monitor and manage your Internet bandwidth, perhaps to make sure your ISP is not overbilling you, try vnStat, an open source, Linux-based application that gives you a clear picture of your bandwidth usage. This command-line application is simple to install and easy to use.
VnStat offers binary packages for the Debian distribution on its site, and Dag Wieers' RPM repository has RPMs for various Red Hat-based distributions. Of course, you can also compile vnStat from the source files available from the project's home page. I tested vnStat on an Ubuntu Edgy desktop; to install the software, I ran sudo apt-get install vnstat.
The first step in using vnStat is to initialize it and configure it to read your Internet bandwidth usage. Since I connect to my network using the eth0 port, I ran the command sudo vnstat -u -i eth0 to initialize the vnStat database. The database is stored in a file in the /var/lib/vnstat/ directory in a small binary file.
Also on Linux.com:
Emacs a text editor, but it can be much more: a personal information manager, task manager, and an email client, for instance. For me, Emacs is a tool for writing and publishing -- especially when used with Muse mode.

Camp Imagination offers a perfect mix of challenging academics, enriching experiences, and summer fun to keep elementary children active and progressing during the lazy days of summer. The program was designed in conjunction with Johns Hopkins University to specifically address the problem of summer learning loss, but without the feel of summer school.
Campers spend mornings with qualified teachers improving reading and math skills through challenging learning games and experiential activities. Afternoons include language and culture lessons, drama, music, field trips, and other enriching activities. Such opportunities are ones those in our low-income neighborhood would not normally have. As such, no student pays the almost $1,000 cost per student. Fees are heavily subsidized by grants, the United Way, and donations from generous community friends like you.
Help A Child Soar
At nearly $1,000 per child, the true cost of Camp Imagination is just too much for many families, especially since about 85% of our families are in the low or moderate income bracket.
Your tax-deductible donation will provide scholarships to low income families to ensure that more children spend the summer reading, writing, developing critical thinking skills, acting
The Case for Summer Learning
Camp Imagination was founded in 2008 to stop summer learning loss in low income children—those who are most at risk of being on the wrong side of the achievement gap. Just the year before, Johns Hopkins University released the results of a decades-long study that showed children of all economic backgrounds progressed at roughly the same rate during the school year, and children from better-off families generally held steady or continued to progress during the lazy days of summer. However, children from low income families fell back each summer because they were without the school's resources and lacked the personal financial means to attend science camp, take family trips to museums, read age-appropriate books at home, or enjoy other enriching opportunities. Further, these kids' summer learning losses accumulated year after year until two-thirds of the 9th grade achievement gap between the low and middle income children could be explained by what the kids did—or didn't do—during their childhood summers.
Career Exploration
Students are exposed to a variety of potential career and educational opportunities through field trips, guest speakers, class projects, and special classes. Among the favorite experiences was a day at the Lamb Theatre, where campers developed a schematic for a cereal commercial, then 'hired' actors, rehearsed, and performed their commercials live!
Science & Discovery
Hands on experiments with everyday items are the most engaging way to learn about geysers, life cycles, DNA, robots, rockets, and much more.
Field Trips
Field trips to local historical and unique points of interest helped campers discover Sioux City history at the public museum, aquatic animal life at the Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center, and one of Siouxland's most unique and kid-friendly destinations—the Railroad Museum.
To find out how to sponsor a child for the summer, for a week, or simply to make a tax-deductible contribution to Camp Imagination, please contact the Executive Director by calling (712) 258-5137.

What does "traction free" mean?
What does "traction free" mean? Is it a boundary condiction that there's no stress action on that boundary? For example, the pseudio-fluid is free to leave the mold wall as pushed out by the advancing liquid.
Thanks a lot!
Re: What does "traction free" mean?
Traction-free = no surface traction = no tangential stress component.
Re: What does "traction free" mean?
Thanks for the reply! The boundary condition is, sigma(u).n-p.n=0 in the paper I read. I don't know the mean. no tangential stress component and no normal stress? Thanks a lot!
Re: What does "traction free" mean?
generally traction is used for stress bc in literature.
n probably mean normal vector to boundary and .n mean normal component of those vector, as p (probably pressure) is scaler the better expression is pI.n
Re: What does "traction free" mean?
Strictly the zero traction condition is
(Tn).s = 0
where T is the stress tensor, n is the normal to the surface and s is the surface tangent (in 3D there are two surface tangents). Note that, since n.s =0 the pressure does not contribute to this calculation and u.n=0 for no flow through the surface. For n=k ans s=i then this is simplifies to the usual conditions (laminar Newtonian fluid)
w=0, u_z=0.
Re: What does "traction free" mean?
Note that traction free surface mean no stresses normal stress and tangent one,
the general stress bc condition for an arbitrary 3d surface is (in fluid dynamics):
i. (S.n).n = normal stress e.g. surface tension = sigma k/We
S= -pI + mu/Re[(grad U)+ (grad U)^T] (stress tensor)
where n is local normal vector, mu is viscosity, p is pressure, U is velosity vector, k is kurvature, Re is renold number, We is weber number
ii. (S.n).m1=0 and (S.n).m2=0
where m1 and m2 are local tangential vectors, note that n, m1 and m2 make independent basis for 3d space
Finally traction free mean condition leads to:
(S.n).n =0. (S.n).m1 =0. (S.n).m2 =0.
Is it clear yang?
Re: What does "traction free" mean?
The condition (S.n).n =0 will over prescibe the system if you require u.n=0 on a solid surface. The only time you would employ a condition on (S.n).n is if you had a surface which could deform under the motion of the fluid (even in this case it's really a condition on p rather than on S.n).n)).
Re: What does "traction free" mean?
i don't knowe what is your argue about correctness of previous massage, (S.n).n =0 in solid mechanics this condition is usually natural on free boundaries of solid but in fluid dynamics, normal component usually balance with pressure force (ambient pressure+surface tension pressure) i.e.
(S.n).n = P_ambient + sigma k
is it correct?
Re: What does "traction free" mean?
My point is that if you have a "traction free" or freeslip rigid surface then u.n = 0 is the relevant boundary condition and it does not in general imply (Sn).n=0; i.e. there is a normal pressure force on the surface even if there is no traction (think inviscid flow past an aerofoil - there is no drag but there is lift).
Re: What does "traction free" mean?
well, you mean traction free as only tangent (or shear) stresse=0., althouth i don't see this expression in CFD literature but in solid mechanics it is general based my nowledge (normal+tangent components)
Re: What does "traction free" mean?
Thanks for your replies! The air treated as pseudio-fluid is free to leave the mold wall as pushed out by the advancing liquid.The traction free boundary condition is T.n=0 at the interface between the wall and the air. Where, T=-pI+2*mu*D,D=0.5*[grad(u)+grad(u)^T]
Re: What does "traction free" mean?
In fluid mechanics the normal condition is generally only applied to the pressure (on a material surface); i.e. constant atmospheric pressure or a pressure jump related to surface tension - this is why it is usually referred to as a stress-free surface and not traction free one.
Using traction free boundary condition in Fluent?
I want to implement the condition p+0.0035 (∂u/∂x)=0 stated as the traction free boundary condition at the outlet of a pipe. How to implement this in Fluent? Is there any such option in Fluent or it will require a udf?

Samsung reveals Galaxy SIII
This is such a challenging moment for the latest model of Samsung Galaxy after a big hit in the mobile market.
Fans waited patiently for the leaks, witnessed it in London, and now the full Galaxy S III is finally revealed — at least for some parts of the world. Despite of not having the concrete news on US models, the international flavor is expected to enter in Europe and other parts of the world.
Features of the latest Galaxy are the following:
Large 4.8-inch 1280 x 720p display, quad-core Samsung Exynos processor
1GB of RAM
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich user interface and with Samsung's TouchWiz UX.
The availability of the new Samsung Galaxy S III in many parts of the world and Europe kicks off tomorrow, May 29th, then in the UK on the 30th.
