Hi there!
So how can you be successful in life?!
Here are some useful tips and advice on how to live a better life and gain success in everything you do.
1. Think Pink
Life is like a mirror, so when you think in a positive way about things, and when you are optimistic and nice to other people, then good things happen back to you.
If you give good Karma, you get good Karma.
2. Think Big
Don't put limitations to anything constructive that you do.
Push yourself to the limit, because the sky's the limit!
If you manage to do something well, you can always try to do it better and better.
If you do something for a few people, you can always try to do it for everyone in the whole world!
3. Be Confident
Always be confident and have a good self esteem.
Even if you don't feel confident or self assured, just convince yourself that you are feeling confident, and say things to people, in fluent and convincing way.
It works!
Other people will see you as a confident, and self assured person.
4. Think and Do
Think about new ideas and make plans for your future...and then do them!
Put your ideas and plans into action, and complete them as quickly, and as well as possible.
You'll gain a great deal of satisfaction when you become a "dooer".
5. Wake up with purpose
Every night before you go to sleep, think about what you want to do the next day, then when you wake up in the morning, you have a list of things to do with purpose, energy, and determination.
6. Do what you do best
Think about the things that you like to do best, and do them!
When you have a strong passion for something, you will always do it very well, and you will also enjoy life.
7. Don't be afraid of failiure
If you try something and it fails, it is still much better than not even trying something without the possibility of succeeding.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!
8. Believe in yourself
You are who you are, and you have strong points and weak points, just like everyone else in the world. Sit down one day and think about what your weak points are, then try to improve yourself, and use your strong points to bring out the best in yourself.
If you believe in yourself, then other people will believe in you!
9. Avoid bad and Seek good
Avoid things and people you don't like in life, and look for things and people, you do like.
You'll know what all of those things are, because when something bad happens, you don't feel good, and when something good happens, you feel great!
10. Be yourself
Always be yourself. Never wish that you were someone else.
Other people will always appreciate you when you are honest, and you are your true self.
And remember...
All men who live, die.
Not all men who die...have LIVED!
So, now that you know how to be successful in life, try watching some other video lessons on GospeakEnglish and learn some more useful pieces of information.
Thanks, and I hope to see you again soon!

Barry Bonds, the recently crowned home run king (and the less recently crowned king of steroids) was incredibly rude to the press for most of his career, and he is suffering for that now because the crowds are booing and the press is writing only parenthetically about his record-breaking performance.
You know the lesson here: You have to treat everyone you meet with respect because you don't know who you are going to need later. The problem is that people use the lesson at work — they treat their boss and their underlings well. But they don't treat people they don't work with well.
This is such a ubiquitous problem that half of American workers have been psychologically abused at their workplace, according the Handbook on Workplace Violence, a government publication. But the abuse is coming from people outside the workspace, such as clients, customers or, as in Barry's case, third-party people you just have to deal with in order to get your work done.
Big-time journalist Patricia Sellers, in a lecture at Yale University, said, "The best thing, the smartest thing I've done is to be nice to assistants and secretaries. I believe you should be nice to everybody. As you rise, you will see the world gets so small."
She describes, in fact, what happens to a guy like Bonds. When you are on top of the world, you stand on the part of the mountain that is very small. The number of people you really talk to at the top is small. It's more intense than at the bottom, where there's room for tons of people.
Extremely talented people can get to the top while being a jerk, but that doesn't mean they'll be celebrated. After all, the baseball writers are also the Hall of Fame voters.

Cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) is the net pressure gradient that drives oxygen delivery to cerebral tissue. It is the difference between the mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the Intracranial Pressure (ICP), measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Maintaining appropriate CPP is critical in the management of patients with intracranial pathology, including traumatic brain injury, and with hemodynamic distress, such as shock. Normal CPP lies between 60 and 80 mm Hg, but these values can shift to the left or right depending on individual patient physiology. As CPP is a calculated measure, MAP and ICP must be measured simultaneously, most commonly by invasive means. Maintaining adequate CPP in clinical situations of intracranial pathology with deranged ICP or in hemodynamically unstable conditions will decrease the risk of ischemic brain injury.
CPP and ICP: The CPP, at its most basic, is dependent on the ICP and mean arterial pressure and its normal range is 60 to 80 mm Hg. Under normal conditions, the ICP is between 5 and 10 mm Hg and thus has less of an impact on CPP than MAP for clinical situations not involving intracranial pathology. ICP is usually directly measured via intracranial pressure transduction. Physiologically, ICP is a function of intracranial compliance. Intracranial compliance is the relationship between ICP and volume in the intracranial cavity; including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), brain tissue and arterial and venous blood volume. As the skull is a fixed and rigid anatomic space, ICP will increase as intracranial volume increases, and intracranial compliance decreases. As the ICP increases (or intracranial compliance decreases), CPP will decrease.
Several mechanisms ensure that ICP remains in the normal range for as long as possible, during periods of changing intracranial volume and compliance. As volume adds to the intracranial space, CSF can move into the spinal subarachnoid space, leaving the ICP relatively unchanged. As volume increases (a growing space-occupying lesion, brain tissue edema or blood), this mechanism becomes overwhelmed, and ICP starts to increase sharply.
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is also a critical factor in ICP homeostasis. Cerebral auto-regulation ensures a steady flow of blood to the brain over a wide range of physiologic changes and disturbances. When blood pressure decreases, auto-regulation causes cerebral vasodilation and an increase in CBF and cerebral blood volume, thus maintaining ICP and CPP. When blood pressure increases, auto-regulation causes cerebral vasoconstriction and a decrease in CBF with a resulting decrease in cerebral blood volume, also maintaining ICP and CPP. Too much alteration outside of normal CBF ranges can lead to brain ischemia and injury.[1]
CPP and MAP: As ICP in normal ranges is a relatively small number, the CPP is much more dependent on the mean arterial pressure. MAP is the average blood pressure during one cardiac cycle and can be directly measured through invasive hemodynamic monitoring or can be calculated as the systolic blood pressure, plus two times the diastolic blood pressure, divided by three. The normal range of MAP is 70 to 100 mm Hg.
The mean arterial pressure is much more likely to change during day-to-day activities such as exercise, rest and stress. However, if ICP remains constant, mean arterial pressure can change across its relatively wide range of normal without dramatically decreasing or increasing CPP. In fact, CPP and CBF will remain relatively unchanged across a wider range of MAP (50 – 150 mm Hg) than normal due to cerebral auto-regulation and vasoconstriction or vasodilation of cerebral vasculature.
For patients with hypertension, the auto-regulation setpoint shifts, therefore, a lowering of mean arterial pressure relative to the patient's normal mean arterial pressure will cause vasodilation to increase CBF. Patients who have lower than normal mean arterial pressure at baseline will have auto-regulatory vasoconstriction in response to an increase in their relative normal MAP, to return CBF to baseline. Thinking about CBF and CPP in the context of the patient's normal MAP is clinically relevant regarding management of intracranial pathology and hemodynamic derangements.
Monitoring cerebral perfusion pressure requires measuring both the MAP and the ICP. The MAP can be measured directly through invasive hemodynamic means, most often cannulation of a peripheral artery such as the radial or femoral artery. The MAP can also be measured indirectly with a noninvasive blood pressure cuff and applying the previously mentioned formula using the systolic and diastolic blood pressures.
Intracranial pressure is usually measured invasively through an intracranial pressure transduction device. The most common and most accurate method is with an intraventricular monitor. As such, intraventricular measurement of ICP is the current gold standard.[2] An intraventricular catheter is inserted into a hole drilled into the skull, and then into the lateral ventricle to directly measure the pressure of the CSF. The advantage of an intraventricular catheter is that CSF can be removed, if needed, to decrease ICP in the acute setting. Disadvantages include a risk of bleeding, infection, and difficulty with proper placement if the ICP is very high. Other options include intra-parenchymal and sub-dural monitors.
ICP can be measured non-invasively by several methods, including, most-commonly, transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD). TCD utilizes a temporal window to measure the velocity of blood flow through the middle cerebral artery. Systolic and diastolic flow velocity and mean flow velocity are used to calculate a pulsatility index. The pulsatility index has been reported to correlate strongly with ICP in some studies and poorly correlate with ICP in other studies. Therefore, it is not recommended to use TCD alone as a substitute for direct ICP measurement.[3][4]
Ideally, invasive monitoring of the MAP through an arterial cannula and invasive monitoring of the ICP through an intraventricular catheter will give a continuous and accurate calculation of CPP.
Two general categories of pathologic derangement exist wherein management of CPP is vital: intracranial pathology, where ICP management is most important; and hemodynamic instability/shock, where MAP management is most important.
Intracranial pathology includes space-occupying lesions such as tumors, epidural and subdural hematoma or acute intraparenchymal hemorrhage and cerebral edema as seen after ischemic injury, traumatic brain injury or severe hepatic encephalopathy. In these cases, adequate CPP is dependent on lowering the ICP back to a reasonably normal range as quickly as possible, while maintaining an adequate MAP. While CPP has a range of normal, it is important to remember that each patient's brain tissue has a CPP that is "normal" in the context of that individual patient's physiology, which may be influenced by other medical problems such as hypertension or vascular disease. As such, there is a push towards more dynamic management of CPP using the patient's own auto-regulatory capacity.[5] These methods involve more frequent and sophisticated monitoring and may not be available for widespread use.
In the setting of substantial traumatic brain injury, for example, significant cerebral edema can decrease intracranial compliance and overcome initial CSF shunting measures, producing an elevated ICP (intracranial hypertension). Auto-regulatory mechanisms may or may not function normally, and if ICP remains elevated, CPP will decrease causing further injury through an ischemic mechanism. In this case, in addition to initiating ICP lowering measures, it is important to avoid hypotension (MAP – ICP = CPP) and in some cases, allowing hypertension is reasonable.
In cases of hemodynamic instability, the ICP is relatively stable as cerebral auto-regulation is intact. In the setting of hypotension, the MAP decreases due to blood loss (hemorrhagic shock), intravascular leak (distributive shock) or decreased cardiac output (cardiogenic shock) and the CPP decreases as well. It is the relationship between MAP and CPP that drives resuscitation guidelines to recommend maintaining a MAP greater than or equal to 65 mm Hg. Assuming a normal ICP, this threshold should guarantee a CPP of 55 to 60, the minimum needed to prevent cerebral ischemic injury. As in the case of ICP and cerebral auto-regulation, MAP goals should be within the context of an individual patient's baseline hemodynamic function. Patients with untreated hypertension should have higher MAP goals to maintain appropriate CBF and CPP.

Ahead of the BET Awards, Warner Bros. Records hosts a Hollywood party
Snoop Dogg was in Europe on his "Malice 'n' Wonderland" tour, so he couldn't attend Warner Bros. Records' Pre-BET Awards Party in Hollywood on Friday evening. That left wife Shante Broadus to face the rigors of partying by her lonesome.
But there is one thing that will keep Dogg down on the farm, and it's – you guessed it -- a reality show!
Broadus said the cameras kept Dogg coming home for dinner when they filmed "Snoop Dogg's Father Hood," the family's reality show on E!, in 2007 and 2008.
"For me, it was fun because it brought my family together," says Broadus, who also volunteers ...
"My husband is gone a lot on the road. So for him to be home and all of us working together, that was a good thing. I enjoyed it."
Oh, yes. And there was that other thing.
"The money. We were making money. We're not sure what network, but we're looking to be on the air again."
Nickelodeon's Rachel Currence stopped by, looking glam in a sleek one-shoulder mini. Currence, who has played a mean girl on "Victorious" and "True Jackson, VP," said she was nothing of the sort in real life when she was growing up in San Diego.
"I was the victim," she said with a laugh. "Back in middle school, I was walking through the cafeteria at lunchtime, and one of the girls was like, in front of everybody, 'Rachel, I love your pants! Where did you get those?' And I looked down at my pants, and my zipper is down, and everyone started laughing at me because she made it such a big deal."
Well, hurray for Hollywood. Isn't revenge sweet?
Later, BET Award nominee and Oscar winner Taraji P. Henson came by. So did singer Eric Benét; best male R&B artist nominee Raheem DeVaughn; BET Networks Chief Executive Debra Lee; rappers Flo Rida, Too $hort and Twista; Ludacris' manager, Chaka Zulu; LisaRaye McCoy from the CW sitcom "All of Us"; BET hosts Big Tigger, Rocsi and Terence J.; and Michael Oher, the Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle whose life inspired "The Blind Side." Model Rosa Acosta arrived with blogger Necole Bitchie.
But the party at Hollywood & Highland didn't really get going until close to midnight, when Lyfe Jennings, Kandi and BET best group nominee New Boyz took the stage. The New Boyz had even more to celebrate than their BET Award nod -- the label presented the band with plaques for its two double-platinum singles, "You're a Jerk" and "Tie Me Down" with Ray J.
The BET Awards will be broadcast at 8 p.m. Sunday.

Happy Birthday
By Alexandra H. Rodrigues
Once a year all of us this are told
It does not matter if we are young or we are old.
A year is a year and our life starts at birth
No matter when or where we start our life on earth.
On one for us special day in every year
We celebrate that we are here.
Why though are we being congratulated
What was our influence when birth related?
Our appearance on earth seems a miracle too
But with the conception we had nothing to do.
In the mother's womb it felt like a dream
When first we saw the world it made us scream.
Then mother's love gave us a booster
Some dad's pride resembled a rooster.
Rich or poor the same is true for us all
None of us can their actual moment of birth recall.
It is however from that minute on
That to somebody we will be a daughter or son.
Quickly we learned how to rise
To what as destiny we recognize.
This possibly is why people decided to say
HAPPY BIRTHDAY on just that day.

NASA and "Operation Paperclip"
Here are some thoughts that I had today concerning the flat earth.
You have heard the story of Operation Paperclip, that they were German scientists who help start NASA. Some flat earthers use this as "proof" of the dark background of this space agency. There reasoning goes, "See, the Nazis started NASA and help spread the lies of heliocentric space and traveling into space…" This is nothing more than the truth twisted.
First, when you are a defeated nation and the rest of your people are living in poverty, many starving to death, over one million in General Eisenhower's concentration camps (see the book: Other Loses), it's not a nice place to be. When you are living under the barbaric antichrist system of Communism, as half of Germany was, you certainly don't want to be there. Thus, when German scientists – not just rocket scientists – are offered to come to the U.S. and work, you will take that job. It's a no brainer.
The antichrist Communists took their share of NS German scientists, and so did America. Yes, it was a secret for a number of years – this Operation Paperclip – but not for long. Why? Because it was not big deal. Do we not see videos of President Kennedy with Dr. Werner von Braun? And this was only 16 years after the war.
When these German scientists came to America, they were not all rocket scientists but those in other fields, as well, where the National Socialists were ahead of the Americans. Also, this was many year before NASA was even started. Back in the 1940s and early 1950s these Germans were simply working on the rocket and jet engines – for flight within our atmosphere. There was no plans of fooling anyone about flights to the moon and satellites to other planet; no CGI images to give to the media. All of this was pure research and development.
It was after NASA got started in 1958 and with the race to space with Communist Russia that the fakery started. And when it was started it was NOT by National Socialist German scientist. These men did not control NASA, they had not political influence, and certainly did not have the money to "pull the strings" of politicians to do their bidding. So, for some, and I repeat, some flat earthers to say, "See, the Nazis were behind this," is simply a lie. No, it was the antichrists in the American government that was responsible for that and it continues to today.
When the faking of space flight was in full swing by NASA, do you think that the German scientists would risk their visas and expose this? These Germans were told to keep their mouths shut; they might have had to sign a paper not to divulge what they were doing. They all had top secret clearance, so you can be sure that they had to sign something. These German scientists were glad to have lived through the war, so they certainly don't want to risk their lives by having an "accident" because they said, "Hey, this moon landing is a hoax, here is the proof."
This leads me to another thought that I'll post in another article titled: Safe To Expose Hoaxes Now.

| 7.3°C Belfast
Following a couple of sluggish years, there was greater movement in the local licensed premises market during 2012 with 50 properties changing hand in deals negotiated by Osborne King.
The most noteworthy sales included Beannchor Ltd's acquisition of 15 licensed premises, formerly belonging to the MAR portfolio, which included a number of notable properties such as The Stables, Groomsport, Portaferry Hotel, The Bryansburn Inn and The Hillside in Hillsborough.
In Warrenpoint, three well-known licensed premises, Jack Ryan's, The Square Peg and The Boat House Inn came under new ownership while in Belfast, the Spring & Airbrake/Katy Daly's and Limelight group of properties was sold after six months on the market.
Hotel sales included the Lansdowne Court Hotel, Belfast, the Fort Lodge, Enniskillen, and the Coast Road Hotel in Carrickfergus while the infamous Lock Keeper's Inn at Shaw's Bridge, Belfast also changed hands.
Unfortunately, the majority of sales completed during 2012 were due to receivership/administration disposals. Many of these licensed premises ceased trading as a direct result of business declining, however, in some cases, debts arising from other property-related ventures forced operators to sell up.
The fact that licensed premises are changing ownership is encouraging as old, tired pubs can be revitalised with new management carrying out refurbishment and introducing different themes.
An example of this is the former Hunter's Bar on the Lisburn Road, rebranded by Beannchor as Cuckoo, which is doing extremely well.
Without doubt, 2013 is off to a promising start as I have just agreed the sale of a portfolio of 15 licensed premises to a new operator in the Northern Irish market.
Hopefully, 2013 will be a turning point where the market improves resulting in a more "natural" sale of properties although I am not overly optimistic that business will improve significantly.
The fact remains that until banks start having confidence in the future of the licensed trade, life will continue to be challenging for all concerned.

Chelsea legend Claude Makelele believes that Tammy Abraham must work like Didier Drogba and Samuel Eto'o if he wants to reach their level, reports the Evening Standard.
Abraham currently on loan at Swansea, has been working under assistant manager Makelele since the start of the season and has shown glimpses of promise, scoring three goals in all competitions so far this season.
However, despite the 44-year-old seeing a great attitude in the English striker, Makelele insists the striker has to push himself to the limit if he wants to become a world class player, as the Evening Standard reports.
Makelele is quoted by the Evening Standard saying:
"He wants to be one of the best strikers in the Premier League. He gets an example in the way Drogba and Eto'o play. But to do that he must work like they did."
Abraham signed a five-year-contract before leaving London for South Wales in the hope to make an impression on the club, especially Antonio Conte.
There's clearly great potential in the 20-year-old and we will be hoping he continues to score goals and break into the Chelsea side next season.

YORK, Maine — Adam Bailey's home-run inbounds pass caught Aaron Todd in stride in the third quarter, and the 6-foot-7 forward sent an already rocking Butler Gym into euphoria when he flushed down the dunk.
YORK, Maine — Adam Bailey's home-run inbounds pass caught Aaron Todd in stride in the third quarter, and the 6-foot-7 forward sent an already rocking Butler Gym into euphoria when he flushed down the dunk.
And the best part? In York High School's big win over previously unbeaten Falmouth on Tuesday night, it didn't really even need it.
A locked-in Todd led all scorers with 23 points, forward Hayden Webster and guard Zach Leal added 14 apiece, and the Wildcats (16-1) made a statement that should carry from here to Portland, site of the Western Maine Class B tournament, with a dominant, 65-39 win.
Throw in a packed gym — tickets were pre-sold for the first time all season — the motivation stemming from a bad loss at Falmouth last month, and Senior Night for players and cheerleaders, and the Wildcats turned it into their perfect hardcourt storm.
"Great win for us," said Todd, who now has 968 points for his career. "They put a pretty big beating on us the first time we played them. But we thought we could hang with them."
They did a lot more than just hang.
Falmouth guard Grant Burfeind (team-high eight points) hit an early 3-pointer to put his club up 5-4. But the Wildcats scored the next 11 points, led 22-9 at the end of the quarter and never took their foot off the accelerator.
It was the first time all season the Yachtsmen had been held below 53 points and just the third time they were kept under 60. But they struggled with their shooting, both from beyond the arc and at the line (5-of-15), and weren't good enough anywhere else to cover it.
"We got thoroughly dominated," said Falmouth coach David Halligan Jr., his team now 15-1. "(York coach) Randy Small does a great job preparing his team. It's a veteran team, a good team. You can't have a bad game against these guys."
On Jan. 3 in Falmouth, the Yachtsmen pulled away from York by a 71-51 score, handing the visitors their first loss. The teams figure to be seeded 1-2 in the regional tournament, said Small, with Falmouth No. 1.
"We're probably going to play them in the playoffs," said Webster. "It gives us a good peace of mind, I guess."
The Wildcats, a team that prides itself on its defense, could not have asked for a better start offensively. Starting with Leal's drive on the opening possession, they made seven of their first eight shots from the floor, stringing together an 11-0 run to go up 15-5.
Burfeind ended the run with a 3-pointer, but guard Michael Gallagher answered with a trey of his own. The Wildcats ended the period with a 22-9 lead, shooting 9-of-12 from the field.
"That was big," said Todd. "We worked on that in practice a lot, getting the ball into the post, passing weak-side on the double-teams. We did a good job executing, going out and doing what we practiced."
York did not commit an offensive turnover until backup center Luke Claflin was called for an illegal screen 44 seconds into the second quarter. His team had just three at halftime.
The largest first-half lead was 16, but the shooting cooled off before the break. The Yachtsmen got threes from Thomas Coyne off the bench and Burfeind to chip away a bit, but it was still 34-22 at halftime, giving the big crowd 10 minutes to rehash a masterpiece.
"This is the closest thing to a playoff atmosphere you're going to see in a regular-season matchup," said Todd.
Leal single-handedly put the game away in the third, scoring the first nine points to make it 43-22, the last two on a nifty give-and-go with Todd that illustrated perfectly how well they shared the basketball.
"Sometimes, you just have to experience it," said Halligan, whose team graduated all five starters off last year's 20-1 regional runner-up. "Great atmosphere. This was this group's first taste of a tournament atmosphere."
It's a taste the Wildcats will savor for a while, but spit out before practice starts this afternoon. They close out the regular season Friday at rival Wells.
"We said in the locker room, 'Big win, great job, but we've got to get back and work,'" said Small. "It's going to be a madhouse at Wells Friday. That's the fun of this."
No shortage of fun here Tuesday.

Detailed information regarding the correct usage of each of the washes, creams and other treatments is available on the Revitol website, along with cautionary statements that cover any possible side effects that may occur as a result of misuse of the products. Whilst products are made from all-natural ingredients, some consumers may find they are allergic to some of the ingredients and therefore reading the instructions carefully before use is vital. It is not a valid assumption that all-natural means there are no associated side effects.
The Ordering Process
Products are all available through the official website, however it is important to note that although a customer service phone line is listed on the site, product orders are not accepted via phone. When ordering products on the website, customers are offered a range of payment options, including Paypal and major credit cards. For those wishing to pay with a money order or cashier's check, customers can send payment directly to the company.
Shipping is available to all U.S. locations as well as many international countries – 211 to be precise. Revitol ships using USPS First Class mail in the US and FedEx with tracking or a local international carrier with tracking for international orders. Delivery is very fast and all orders are discreetly packaged with no indication of what product is inside.
Revitol products are backed by a full money back guarantee and the company will happily accept returns. That being said, the buyer must telephone customer service for authorization to return the product(s) and refunds are not issued without it. There is a 90 day window for returns, and items must be sent back in the original packaging, although the amount of product left in the containers is not restricted. When returning product it is advised to obtain a tracking number so the company will receive notification of its arrival at customer service. Obtaining a tracking number is important as some products cost around $50 each, so any lost in the mail can leave you considerably out of pocket.
Any customer returning product must pay the return shipping costs and will not be refunded them. It is important to bear this in mind if buying a product to try for the first time, knowing that it may not be to your liking. Payment of a refund is usually made within thirty days of the refund request being approved.
Revitol value good communication, so they try to answer as soon as possible if you contact us by phone or e-mail. They are also very interested in your questions, comments, information and ideas.

Eastern European EU migration up 100% in Suffolk since referendum
PUBLISHED: 11:28 07 January 2019 | UPDATED: 16:03 08 January 2019
Eastern European EU migrants are still choosing to make a home in Suffolk amid Brexit uncertainty - but the rate people are coming to the country is slowing down.
The greatest rise among EU migrants was from eastern European countries that joined the EU in 2004, with an estimated 100% increase in two years.
EU citizen migration has increased in Suffolk since June 2016 overall, despite expert analysis describing the UK as a "less attractive destination".
In Ipswich, manager of the Rasputin European supermarket in St Matthew's Street, Igor Kharchenko, says that his Romanian customers are happy to work in Suffolk - and ready to leave if they have to.
He said: "If they feel unwanted, they will go elsewhere - France, Germany or Norway - and find work there.
"Many of the people that come here come for work alone or with their partners and send money home but they are apprehensive of what's coming.
"It's hard for them to keep living here when half the people in the country voted to leave the EU."
One eastern European member of staff, who asked to remain anonymous, said she is unfazed about changes to migration rules or fees for EU nationals who want to stay in the UK.
"I moved here and married an Englishman 20 years ago. I've watched this community come together and the kids grow up - if people want to stay they will pay," she said.
Madeleine Sumption, director of the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford, said: "The number of EU citizens living in the UK has increased since the referendum, but the pace of change is much slower than in the past.
"This is because fewer EU citizens are choosing to come to the UK and more are leaving. The UK has become a less attractive destination.
"Most EU citizens come to the UK for work, and the falling value of the pound means that what they can earn here is now worth less than it was a couple of years ago.
The rate of EU migration is slowing down, despite higher numbers of migrants settling in the county.
Mrs Sumption said that political and economic uncertainty of Brexit may also play a role.
The data shows that the number of EU migrants living in the area rose by 48% - from 31,000 to 46,000 - between June 2016 and June 2018, according to the Office for National Statistics.
The 48% increase in Suffolk is much greater than the national picture, with the UK seeing a 9% increase in the number of EU citizens on average.
European citizens accounted for 6.3% of Suffolk's total population, slightly greater than the average of 5.7% for the UK.
Numbers of non-EU migrants in Suffolk dropped from 23,000 to 17,000 in the two years to June 2018.
Jay Lindop, director of the Centre for International Migration at the ONS, says that there are contrasting patterns for EU and non-EU migrants and that the reasons people choose to migrate are more complex than one factor.
She said: "Due to increasing numbers arriving for work and study, non-EU net migration is now at the highest level since 2004.
"In contrast, EU net migration, while still adding to the population as a whole, is at the lowest since 2012.

So as I wrote down my bills, I've decided to change my plans for my tax refund. Instead of pfd/negotiating accounts, I'm going to pay ALL my bills for the month. Every month I will do this while saving each and every paycheck through the month? With a refund in excess of @ least $3K, I figure this will allow me to save quite a bit through June. Then evaluate where I'm sitting.
PFD/negotiate 2 accounts each month respectfully.
I really need to start to sit down, clear my thoughts and figure out a plan versus impulse actions. This is so hard for me. I think it's because I've never had a budget and did things "as they come". I don't have rent or a mortgage, nor am I paying student loans at this time. So no big payments going out. This year I need to put a plan in action. I think I can.....I think I can.....
2016 Siggy is set!
I am looking to purchase a home that I have been renting for a year now. I had some difficulties back in 2008 -2009 when I was unemployed and homeless. I feel that I have made some good move, now working fulltime for past 3 years. My scores seem to be extremely low, but I need to make this happen. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi! Happy New Year to you too! I too, have quite a few financial goals for this year that I'm hoping to achieve.
The first is to finish getting rid of all of my student debt that I have. Recently we finished a fight through the courts to get my father (parents are divorced) to pay off some of the student loans as that was part of the divorce agreement way back when. I currently have a few thousand left, although they became past due a few years back after the deferment ran out right when I started Basic training and defaulted before I came back home and realized they were past due. This are currently being rehab'd and will most likely be payed off a little after the rehab is complete.
The second is to get my credit score to above 700. For the longest time, I've always paid cash for my purchases. Lately I've been trying to see what other ways I can save and even my money by doing different promotions and such. Over the last few months I've added three credit cards to my credit mix (USAA Secured, NFCU nCashRewards, and CapitalOne Platinum). I'm now trying to let these accounts age a little before I see about getting a few others.
Finally the last is to continue to build my financial well-being... a few years ago after I got off of Active Duty, It was really hard to find a good full-time job. Luckily, I was able to get a good job through Hiring Our Heros but it took a long time and I nearly exhausted my savings in the time and went nearly back to square one (NY isn't cheap y'know!). Anyways, I'm hoping to never get back into that situation and hopefully by rebuilding my savings and living smart, I'll be back to a place where I will feel secured enough to take some more changes any eventually get into a good position to retire eventually.
Anyways, its good to be here and I hope I'll enjoy my stay!
Feliz 2016!
I'm a first-time Challenger looking to improve my scores once again. The advice I've gotten on the forums has been invaluable and I want to participate fully this year instead of trolling the threads.
Recently relo'd without a job, which has been liberating, but some of my CC's are taking a hit. My three scores fell from an average of 697 to an average of 627; still an upgrade from a history of irresponsible credit behavior. I did take advantage of the score improvement and received approval for my goal card. Now, I have a good credit mix with respectable limits, so I no longer need or want additional cards.
I have two credit goals:
1) $0 balances on all CC's by Dec 2016
2) Pay down a minimum of half of remaining car loan by Dec 2016
My plan is simple for realizing the above goals:
1) Not straying from my budget while I continue searching for employment.
2) Until then, pay a small amount above the mins monthly (Makes me feel better in my head).
3) Once employed PIF, any individual cards, up to $1k and mins on the remainder until my two largest card balances are the only ones left.
4) Double-up on car loan payments.
Total current CC debt is less than $18k.Remaining car loan is less than $10k.
I look forward to watching my balances decrease and my savings build in order to begin a new home search. Additionally, I'm looking forward to sharing our successes over the next eleven months.
Current Fico 3B's below.
I'm a returning Challenge member. I originally joined challenge in 4/2014, but I keep meeting a surpassing my goals.
Joined the fitness challenge in 4/2014 & met al my goal by 8/2014. Which were: 1) Improve FICO score to 760 - 850 range 2) Get pre-approved for new home loan 3) Buy new home in Bay Area (relocating near adult kids). In August I established a new goal: 1) not have more, total debt, for credit cards and student loans than I had at the beginning of 2014.
Paid off student loan. Thus, my new goal effective 10/2015 was to keep cc debt below 1/2014 and to pay off new house at least 10 years sooner than 30 year loan. My credit card debt was $30,128.11.in Jan 2014.
In December 2015 my credit card debt was $3845.65 and I did a re-fi to a 15 year mortgage loan. Thus, unless a catastrophe hits, my new mortgage maturity date is Jan 2031 which surpasses the 10 year sooner goal.
My new challenge for 2016 is to pay off my new 15 yr mortgage at least 1 year sooner than Jan2031 and to keep cc debt below 20K.
Happy New Years!
This year I want to become more financially sound. I was not always the best with my credit as you can see, but I have every intention to improve that by this years end. I am 35 years old, I want to be a homeover and stop avoiding the nagging debt collectors.
goal is to clean up my credit. during a rough patch in my life, lost of job, barely made payments, as a result, i had over 21 delinquent and 14 derogatory accounts on my cr which reduced my score to 480. it was the lowest financial point in my life. my financial situation changed and so did my credit score to 512. currently it is 636.
i want to remove all delinquent and derogatory accounts from my cr. i am still learning how to accomplish this goal.
2016 goals: 733 fico score, removal of all delinquent and derogatory accounts.
step 1: send gw letters
step 2: increase monthly payment
step 3: reduce debt by using the debt snowball method
step 4: dont focus on the number, focus on the habit (eliminate bad spending habit)
step 5: take it one day at a time and believe in my ability to accomplish this 2016 goal
Hello All! I tried to past the provided info to join the "myfico fitness challenge" but Im having issues.
Everytime I past the link Im getting this message "Your setting's value has been changed because invalid HTML was found. The invalid HTML has been removed. Please review the value and re-submit the form when you are satisfied."

How to Open Yahoo! Messenger in Mozilla Firefox Instead of Internet Explorer
Yahoo Messenger, the well-known instant messaging software, allows you to not only chat with your family and friends, but also navigate directly to your email account or to various news websites. The only problem is that Yahoo Messenger always opens the links in Internet Explorer. Setting Mozilla Firefox as the default browser doesn't help, so you need to configure Windows 7 to literally force Yahoo Messenger to use Mozilla Firefox to open the links.
Click the Start button and choose "Default Programs" to navigate to the Default Programs section of the Control Panel.
Click the "Set program access and computer defaults" link, click the "Custom" radio button and then click the small arrow next to it.
Click the "Mozilla Firefox" radio button in the "Choose a default Web browser" section of the Choose A Configuration list and click "OK" to use Mozilla Firefox to open Yahoo Messenger links.
- Mozilla Firefox will now be used by default by all programs to open links.

It's All About Me: A Lesson in Customer-Focused Communication
It's All About Me: A Lesson in Customer-Focused Communication
Jean Marie Johnson
Alright, I confess, when I'm dialing a 1-800 number I expect the experience to be about one person: me. That may sound a bit egoistical; but that is, after all, what I'm paying for. So, why is it that we so often get an associate on the other end of the line who turns the situation around so it's all about them? One specific instance sticks out in my mind as an example of this.
For my brother's 50th birthday I wanted to get him something really special and memorable. I had received one of those nice mail order catalogs; and, while I was unfamiliar with the company, the catalog had
written all over it.
So, I bit the bullet, dialed the number, and successfully placed an order for a family name plaque. The promise was that the family name would be researched and the story of the name would be printed in a beautiful script on an impressive, wood-frame plaque, which would be more than suitable for hanging. The young woman who took my order was friendly, efficient, and, without my asking, told me the expected ship date. It would arrive more than two weeks before his big day. I was quite pleased with the experience.
However, the big day came and went and there was no plaque to be given. In the meantime, I had placed three phone calls to this company with the very nice catalog only to be dissatisfied with their not so nice service.
Here's a sampling of what I heard:
"Ma'am, it's not here. I don't know where it is."
"We sent that out to another company in Florida and are still waiting for a response."
"You know, I have called them several times and all I get is the answering machine."
"I have no idea where those people are, or where your order is."
"Don't get me going on the trouble we've had with that place!"
So, I empathized with the associate and cancelled my order. Then, I threw away the catalog for good. But what's the lesson here? Don't order from nice catalogs? I don't think so.
It Wasn't About Me
As people in the business of
customer service training
ourselves, we can learn a lot from the way the associate in this particular example communicated the problem to me. Every one of the above statements is focused on the experience of the associate or the company, not the customer. Think about it: every time the associate had an opportunity to frame her communication in terms of me and my experience, she chose to focus on hers. It clearly was not about me.
This type of communication is what we refer to as barriers-focused communication. It centers on:
What's wrong
What can't be done
Why there is a problem
This type of tragic communication often divulges information about an organization's broken processes and systems. From the customer's perspective, it often feels like the associate is hiding behind the barriers and passing on responsibility and blame. This is hardly a recipe for building customer confidence and satisfaction.
Before Communicating, Take a Look Through Your Customers' Eyes
The MAGIC
alternative to such communication is customer-focused communication. This type of communication requires thought and begins before any words are uttered. It begins by remembering that it's not about you, it's about the customer. Each interaction needs to be framed from the customer's perspective.
Customer-focused communication is:
Always empathic
Focuses on what can be done
Emphasizes proactive thinking and doing
Imagine the type of response the associate could have elicited if they had communicated with me in the following way:
"Ms. Johnson, I am looking at your order right now and it does not show that it has shipped. I know you need that by the first of the month, so what I will do right now is…"
"Our partner in Florida is preparing your order, Ms. Johnson. And I apologize, because I know that this is not what you want to hear, but I do not have an update from them. Here's what I am going to do to track this down for you…"
"Ms. Johnson, I can understand why this is so upsetting. It's a special birthday and a special gift, and you need this before, not after his birthday. I know this is not what you want to hear, but here's what I suggest: I can continue to pursue this until I have something concrete to tell you, or, you may want to select a non-custom item that I can ship out to you today, at no extra charge. Which would you prefer?"
Which Barriers-Focused Phrases Live in Your Organization?
Each organization has an opportunity to transform barriers-focused communication into customer-focused communication. Here are a few ready candidates for a makeover:
"I wish I could tell you, Mr. Williams, but the system is down."
"Mr. Williams, I do apologize, but our system is down right now. What I can suggest is that you call us back a half hour from now. We expect that our system will be up and running at that time."
"No, that model doesn't come in a three-quarter size. You'll have to take it the way it is."
"That model is available in a full or half size. I know you really wanted the three-quarter size, Sam. Would it be helpful if I reviewed the specifications on those models so that you can decide if either of them will work?"
"We're not open after 4:30. You'll have to leave a message if you call at 4:31."
"Ms. Periwinkle, we are open from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. If those hours are inconvenient for you, please leave a message on our night service and an agent will return your call by 9:00 a.m. the next business day."
Listen to your customer service calls and see what you hear. Do your associates communicate in a barriers-focused or customer-focused way? If you find the former, you are probably losing good customers in situations where you could be restoring relationships.
As customers, we know it is not reasonable to expect that we will always get what we want. However, it is reasonable (and not egotistical) to expect that the focus of communication will be about me, my experience, my wants, and my needs.

They had 60 votes in the bank, with Brown, Collins, and Murkowski all promising to vote yes if they could reach an agreement with Reid on debate time and amendments. He spent a day negotiating with them and then gave up, choosing to ignore their demands and force a vote by bringing the bill to the floor anyway. And it worked! … in Collins's case. Brown and Murky voted no but she ended up voting yes, even though (a) Reid gave her nothing in return and (b) she pledged last week not to approve any bills until the tax cuts deal is settled. So not only is she exposed as a liar and a chump, she didn't even get a successful repeal here as a consolation prize. That makes her our official sucker of the day, with Reid a close second for not delaying this vote until after the tax deal is done, when there might be time to satisfy Brown's and Murkowki's procedural demands. Take note, gay activists: He's happy to postpone a vote on DREAM to improve its chances of passing, but when it comes to DADT, the mere gesture of a vote will suffice. No wonder the chair of GOProud is so angry with him.
The final roll: 57-40. Joe Manchin and Mark Kirk voted no too, but their votes would have been irrelevant with Brown, Murky, and Collins all onboard and all other Democrats voting yes. Another not so minor problem for Reid: Blanche Lincoln apparently missed the vote, meaning that it would have failed in this case even had Brown and Murkowski switched to yes.
A key procedural vote on the bill containing a repeal the military's Don't Ask Don't Tell failed Thursday, dealing a final blow to advocates who hoped to overturn the 17-year old ban on gays and lesbians serving openly in the military during this session of Congress…
The result means that repeal of the ban, enacted in 1993, is unlikely to be changed by Congress anytime soon. The policy is also currently being considered in court proceedings…
In remarks shortly before the vote, Reid blamed Republicans – but not Collins – for blocking the massive defense measure from coming to the floor.
"It's quite clear that they're trying to run out the clock," Reid said of GOP opponents before calling for the vote.
Is this truly the end of DADT? Maybe not: Lieberman just announced that he'll introduce a standalone bill to repeal it instead of tucking it away inside a larger defense bill. I'm not sure what that'll achieve, though. Even if Collins and Lincoln sign on, you still have the problem of getting Brown and Murkowski to break their pledge to ignore all other business until after the vote on taxes. Maybe Liebs is thinking that they can delay the vote on his bill until after the tax vote? Brown and Murky could afford to be sticklers about allowing multiple amendments on an omnibus defense bill, but on a targeted bill like Lieberman's, they might acquiesce. He's calling their bluff, potentially. Will they cave too? There's plenty of political cover available to do so: According to Gallup's latest, the public supports repeal … 67/28.
Update: Even more hope for Lieberman's bill:
On Manchin, aide says: "I would say that if he was somehow the 60th vote, I do not think he would have voted the way he did"
If that's true, then Reid doesn't need Brown and Murky. He needs only one, and then the pressure of being the deciding vote will flip Manchin to yes too.

VẮNG BÓNG – The Absence of Shadow
90 Minutes, HD, Germany, 2012
On the night of April 17, 1967, Thanh Nguyen's life was to change in a drastic way. The then 8-year-old boy was injured as the result of an air raid during the Vietnam War and over the next few years gradually lost his eyesight. By the age of 19, he was completely blind. Chinh, a young woman from a neighboring village, fell in love with the blind Thanh and married him against the wishes of her family. Their life together began in bitter poverty. Later, when his wife fell ill and could no longer put food on the table for their four children, Thanh decided to become a beggar. Their eldest daughter, Loan, guided her blind father through the land. She was just nine years old. The time they spent living on the streets changed them both. After two years, they returned home and began to write about their experiences. Thanh was able to overcome his own darkness; today he is a writer. Yet his blindness and the trauma of the war still hang like a shadow over the family.

Since opening last March, The Anderson's menu has remained constant. For over a year, guests of the Upper East Side bar have enjoyed delicious drinks paired with a food menu by ex-Vagabond Chef Alex Chang. With Chang long gone, the local watering hole has revamped their food and drink selections for the first time. Here's a closer look.
Mina's Mediterraneo: A 79th Street Favorite
When people have asked us for restaurant recommendations lately, we've been finding ourselves naming more and more restaurants from 79th street and the surrounding areas. With new spots like The Anderson, PINCH Kitchen and Antica Mare opening in the neighborhood, NOT bringing up MiMo/El Portal/Ironside/Upper East Side (or whatever you want to call it) in culinary conversation is a glaring omission.
But before all these new spots started coming in, there was Mina's Mediterraneo. The restaurant, which specializes in Middle Eastern cuisine, has been serving up Turkish, Greek, Spanish, French and Italian flavors since 2013 — pretty good for a Miami restaurant. It wasn't until just this year, however, that we discovered this local favorite. Shame on us because the food is exceptional.
Byblos + Saffron Supper Club = A Happy Persian New Year
Saffron Supper Club, our favorite pop-up dinner club, took over the dining room at Byblos on May 15 for an unforgettable Persian New Year celebration. This ode to Nowruz featured an array of traditional New Year dishes along with top sellers from the Mediterranean restaurant's regular menu.
Antica Mare: Not Just Another Italian Restaurant
When we think of neighborhoods with good food, Shorecrest has typically been at the bottom of the list. Scratch that: it's been nowhere on the list. But with recent additions like Pinch Kitchen and The Anderson in Shorecrest/El Portal/Mimo/Upper Eastside/whatever you want to call it, that whole area around the 79th Causeway is transforming into quite the foodie destination.
Antica Mare, with its delicious Italian offerings, should help bolster the neighborhood's culinary identity even further. Read more

I received a call from a physician regarding him receiving a fax that did not belong to him plus it contained private patient information. I had a 30 minute dialog with the physician and he was pleading his cause that no doctors offices should no longer be using a fax to deliver private patient information and it is a breach in HIPAA. I looked up the issue on the AMA (American Medical Association) website and here is what part of the article stated "May a physician or hospital "fax" a patient's medical information to other physicians or to an insurer"?
Yes. The Privacy Rules do not prohibit a "covered entity" from faxing protected health information.
A physician should be sure, however, to comply with the Privacy Rules' requirements for disclosures generally. For example, the physician should check whether the "minimum necessary" rule applies and, if it does, limit the information in the fax to the minimum necessary information.
Also, a physician should be sure to have appropriate security safeguards in place that are administrative, technical, and physical in nature. For example, the physician should use policies and procedures that require office staff to verify the recipient's fax number and use a cover sheet that does not include protected health information.
In our day of electronic information moving at the speed of light, do you agree with the physician in this article or is he misinformed?
I welcome your comments.

I know I'm posting this pretty late and I'm sorry about that. But we haven't turned on the computer all day and I'm not sorry about that. I might have shared this already, but I like it. :) Happy (late) Sunday.
Oh boy. You always make me cry when you share these messages. x
Any time Nick and I want to cry, I pull this up. I played it for my primary class awhile back and when we got done I was drowning in tears and they were all sitting there wondering what was wrong with me :)

When it started to look like the storm was heading this way, Universal started taking precautions. Mostly removing props from Halloween Horror Nights' scarezones. But when it started getting really serious and talk about the parks closing came up, the prepartions got turned up to high gear.
The photo above and below from Jacob Huston were taken on Friday September 8th. The last day the park remained open before the hurricane was the next day on the 9th. I personally visited that day.
Lots of the prep done was for perserving HHN props, but other things were removed around the park like awnings and banners. Some flags were also rolled up. Check out the YouTube video below filmed entirely on the last day of park operation before closing for the storm. The park was quite empty that day and was a very unique experience to be there! All of our personal preparations were done and we were ready to go at home so we felt comfortable making the visit. Would you have gone to the park that day if you could? Maybe for the next one! Until then, catchy catchphrase!

What is Aggravated DUI?
A driving under the influence (DUI) charge means a person is accused of driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or another type of substance that interferes with his ability to operate a vehicle safely. This is a crime in most places, and may carry such penalties as suspended licensing, fines, and even jail time. Sometimes, a person may be charged with an aggravated DUI instead of just a DUI. This is a more serious DUI charge that may be reserved for situations that aggravate the crime. For example, if a person causes an accident while he is driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, he may face an aggravated DUI charge.
Though the conditions that must be met for an aggravated DUI charge may vary from place to place, there are some situations that commonly lead to this type of charge. For example, if a person has been convicted of a DUI at least twice in a given period of time, he may face aggravated DUI charges. Likewise, if he is driving under the influence and has a suspended or revoked license, he may be charged with an aggravated DUI as well. Additionally, if an individual is driving under the influence and does not have car insurance, he may face this charge.
If a person is driving under the influence and harms another person, he may be more likely to face an aggravated charge. For example, if he kills or injures another person with his car while under the influence, he is likely to face aggravated charges. Likewise, if a person has previously been convicted of reckless homicide, he may face aggravated charges as well.
In many places, an individual will face different penalties for aggravated DUIs than he would for the typical DUI charge. In fact, a person who is accused of an aggravated DUI charge often faces felony charges. Many DUI charges that do not include aggravating circumstances, on the other hand, are considered misdemeanors. When this crime is considered a felony, it may not only lead to stiffer penalties, but may also leave the convicted individual with a permanent black mark on his driving record.
While an aggravated DUI often results in felony charges, this is not always the case. In some cases, it may be considered a misdemeanor instead. Each jurisdiction typically has unique laws for determining whether an aggravated DUI is a misdemeanor or a felony. Likewise, each jurisdictions may have different laws that indicate what the penalties should be for aggravated DUIs.
