Resolved Question: Why? Brazil is like any country?
Words of writer from Holand. All places have your positive points and negatives, but in outside they maximize the positive points. However in Brazil they maximize the negative points. Here in Holand, the results of election take far time, because don´t have nothing automated. Have only one telephony company and: if you call complaining about service , your telephone can be temporarily disconected. In United States and Europe, nobody have habit of rolling the sandwich in a napkin, or wash the hands before eat. In bakeries, fairs and butchers of Europe, the attendants receive the money and with same dirty hand give bread or meat. In London, there is a famous place that sell fried potato wrapped in newspaper-and have many people in door. In Europe, no-smoking are minority. If you ask for no-smoking table, the waiter laughs in your face, because not exists. They smoking until in elevator. In Paris, the waiters are know for your bad humor and grossness and any waiter of pub of Brazil can go there to give class of "How to conquer a costumer". You know how the great potencies make to destroy one people?Impose their beliefs and culture. If you stop to observe, in all movie of USA the national flag appears, and and usually the time when we are emotional... The brazilian people have a language, that despite not resemble the Portuguese language, is called of portuguese language, while the enterprises of software called it of brazilian portuguese, because they can not comunicate with your brazilians users across of Portuguese language.

The model called the attention of one of biggest World potencies: the United States, where the counting of votes has that be redone many times, delaying the result and puting the credibility of process in doubt. 5- Same being a country in development, the brazilians users represent one slice of 40 percent of market in Latin America. 6-In Brazil, there are 14 plants of vehicles installed and others 4 being installing, while some neigbours countries don´t have. 7- Of the childrens between 7 and 14 years-old, 97,3% are studing. 8- The market of cellphones of Brazil is the second of the World, with 650.000 new habilitations each month. 9-In fixed telephony the country ranked fifth in number of lines installed. 10- Of the brazilian enterprises, 6890 have the quality certified ISO - 9000, most number among the countries in development.

Why you don´t say about : 1- The book market in Brazil is biggest that of the Italy, with most of 50.000 new titles each year? 2- That Brazil have the most modern bank system of the planet? 3-That your Advertising Agencies win the better World awards? 4- Why don´t say that the Brazil is the country most enterprising of the World and that most of 70% of the brazilians ,poor and rich, devote a considerable portion of their time in volunteer work? 5- Why you don´t say that Brazil is today the third biggest democracy of the World? 6- That despite all the corruption, the congress be punishing your own members, what rarely happen in another countries who claim "CIVILIZATED"? So, Stop say bad of my country, because all places have your positives and negatives points! This is like envy hahahaha! I doubt "Good Guy".

I have been given the following exercise to complete but cannot attend the next seminar to go through the answers and get the explanations. What answers would you choose and why? Thank you! xx 6) Mr Peesely is a farmer living in Ulster (UK) in a town bordering another country, the Republic of Ireland where his friend Mr Edams farms. Mr Peesely takes a box of sausages which would sell for £100 (110 euro) in Ulster across to the Republic and exchanges the box for Irish sausages from Mr Edams’farm. He brings these sausages into the UK, to Ulster, and sells them for £120. The impact on the GDP in the UK would be the following: a. UK GDP will rise by £120 , b. UK GDP will decrease by £20, c. UK GDP will rise by £20 d. UK GDP will remain unaffected. 7) Lady Chatterley used to pay her gardener a salary of £100 thousand per year, and free accommodation in her garden shed. Having heard that Lady Chatterley has fallen on hard times having lost money in an Irish bank that has gone bust, he offers his gardening services out of love and affection, receiving no pecuniary benefit in return, and pays her £10 thousand pounds rent for the cottage where he had hitherto lived free of charge. In consequence, the GDP as recorded in the national income accounts will a. increase by £10 thousand b. decrease by £100 thousand c. neither increase nor decrease. d. decrease by £90 thousand. 8) In the fast growing economy of Solovia, some of the working age hitherto unemployed adults move away from their family homes in villages and obtain employment in cities. Their parents are left behind and the state engages village youths, also hitherto unemployed, to care for the elderly people that were previously looked after by their children. These newly employed carers are paid by raising the rate of income tax. In consequence, the national income accounts will register the following for the GDP: a. increase b. decrease c. no change. d. none of the above 9) Consider the following stylised model of the economy of Solovia at equilibrium: Y = C + S and S = I Where Y = output, C = Consumption, S = Saving, I = investment, and all of them are measured in the same currency, Solovian florint. Examining data for national income accounts, experts who have been recruited by the Office of National Statistics for having passed their first year examination in Quantitative Methods report that the consumption function is as follows: C = 1000000 + (1/4) Y REQUIRED: The parameter “propensity to consume” is (Choose the best answer from below): a. 1-0.25 = 0.75 b) ¾ c) 0.25 d) 5/4 The Keynesian multiplier is a. 1/4 b. ¾ c. 4/3 d.0.75 10) Because intermediate goods, goods that are used in the production of other goods, are excluded from GDP, the following will be excluded in measuring the GDP: a. cost of airlines tickets incurred in going on holiday. b. drinks purchased at restaurants by public relations firms to entertain their clients. c. food purchased at restaurants during holidays. d. all of the above. The answers I got were C, D, A, no idea and A, although Economics is not my best subject by far so I've no idea if I'm right! moreResolved Question: I've wrote a speech for my english class about size zero models- is it good?
Is it good, and could you give me any tips? 26 per cent of 14 and 15-year-olds often don't eat breakfast, 22 per cent skip lunch and 10 per cent regularly go without either. I’m sure you’ve jumped to the conclusion that this is a bad influence on young women and teenagers, that size 0 models should be blamed for this. However have you thought of it from their point of view? There is now something called Fatism. It’s based on the predujudised of weight. Why is it, that there isn’t thinism? It’s the same thing. As I’ve said, they’re both prejudicial against people’s weight. These people can’t help being thin like other people can’t help being fat. Imagine how you would feel if someone talked about you because of your body shape. If they write humiliating comments about you and your body in newspapers or on websites or even talk about you on national TV just because of your natural body shape then you would be devestated. It would be wrong for you and it is similarly wrong to humiliate and mock size zero women. Notice that men who starve themselves to be thin like racing jockeys are never criticised or humilated on TV. It is sexist because it is girls and women who usually get criticised or mocked for their body shape, not boys or men. It’s a real woman on woman debate. I notice a lot of feminists are involved in the argument. They say that woman are creating a fake image that men like rather than ‘normal’ sizes. But they’ve been banging on about it for so long, they’ve turned practically all men against size zero. Model Louise Redknapp did a TV programme about being a size zero model. She did a crash diet to make her size zero. At the end of the programme, she said, “I’d love a daughter, and if i had one, I’d want her to grow in a society where she isn’t judged for her size”- Well you are doing a good job then aren’t you Louise - Judging size zero models saying they shouldn’t be allowed on the catwalk. Do you know how it must feel to be constantly criticised by others, like Ruslana Korshunova, Russian Vogue Cover girl and French Elle cover girl. In 2008, it’s suspected she commited suicide as it appears she jumped from her eight storey apartment in New York City after a Russian interviewer told her she was disgustingly thin. Interviewers aren’t the only murderers in the fashion industry. Employers can be just as bad, just as mean, just a cruel. Argentinian model, Eliana Ramos was found dead from malnutrition. It’s suspected she started staving herself after her boss told her if she didn’t drop to size 0 she’d be out of a job. Eliana died ironically a day before she walked on the catwalk at a Montevideo hotel in Uruguay, The same place her sister died. Her sister, also a model, was Luisel Ramos who died from a heart attack. The heart attack was caused by anorexia. For the three months before her death, it is reported all she ate was lettuce leaves, and all she drank was diet coke. Once again, it was her bosses fault. He told her to thin up, or get out. Look at it through the models eyes. Agenyess Deyn said “There’s so much pressure nowadays, girls just can’t be there natural shape. They feel they need to be bigger or smaller”. Also, Tyra Banks said “There are some really nasty comments said about size zeros by other woman. These other woman are just jelous, but the models can’t help but listen to the comments”. Girls need to unite to stay together and stop criticising each other. The more we talk about each other in that manner, the more boys and men feel they can do it. It needs to stop. Ok, I understand that it may be causing a problem, making young girls thinking they need to be thinner but you cannot blame the size zero girls. Thank you 8) moreResolved Question: Could you help me and correct this English article ?
Hello, I’m French and I have to translate a French article into English. I think there are mistakes, could you help me and correct this text? For those who speak French I have put the original text. The British unemployment rate is reaching its peak of these past ten years ! The British unemployment rate according to the International Labour Organization (ILO) has risen to 6.1% over the three months ended in November, a peak since 1999, after 6% over the three months ended in October, announced the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on Wednesday, November the 21st. This rise complies with the expectations of the economists of the City, according to a compiling of their estimations quoted by the Calyon bank. According to the national calculation, the unemployment rate has passed from 3.3% in November to 3.6% in December, a peak since June 2002. It is more than expected, the economists banking on a rate of 3.3%, always according to Calyon. The number of jobless people according to the ILO includes more people because it also counts the jobseekers who are not registered on the unemployment list. The number of unemployed people, according to the ILO, has risen by 131 000 persons over the three months ended in November, and by 290 000 in comparison to a year sooner, to climb to 1,92 million. The number of persons newly registered on the unemployment lists, which is used to calculate the rate of the national unemployment, has increased by 77 900 in December and by 349 000 over a year, to 1,16 million. This is the eleventh running months that it rises, précised the ONS. Besides, datas from the ONS have shown 225 000 redundancies during the term ended in November, which is a record since the institute has started to compile in 1995. Le taux de chômage britannique à son plus haut niveau depuis dix ans Le taux de chômage britannique au sens du Bureau international du travail (BIT) est monté à 6,1 % sur les trois mois achevés en novembre, un sommet depuis 1999, après 6 % sur les trois mois achevés en octobre, a annoncé mercredi 21 novembre l'Office des statistiques nationales (ONS).Cette hausse est conforme aux prévisions des économistes de la City, selon une compilation de leurs estimations citée par la banque Calyon. Au sens national, le taux de chômage est passé de 3,3 % en novembre à 3,6 % en décembre, un sommet depuis juin 2000. C'est plus que prévu, les économistes tablant sur un taux de 3,5 %, toujours selon Calyon.Le nombre de chômeurs au sens du BIT comprend plus de personnes car il comptabilise également les demandeurs d'emplois qui ne sont pas inscrits sur les registres du chômage. Le nombre de chômeurs, au sens du BIT, a augmenté de 131 000 personnes sur les trois mois achevés en novembre, et de 290 000 par rapport à un an plus tôt, pour grimper à 1,92 million. Le nombre de personnes nouvellement inscrites sur les registres du chômage, qui sert au calcul du taux de chômage national, a augmenté de 77 900 en décembre et de 349 500 sur un an, à 1,16 million. C'est le onzième mois de suite qu'il augmente, a précisé l'ONS. Par ailleurs, les données de l'ONS ont montré 225 000 licenciements durant le trimestre achevé en novembre, ce qui constitue un record depuis que l'institut a commencé à les compiler en 1995. moreResolved Question: How would you rate these injustices in Britain today? please vote?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smedley_Butler "I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate John L - that is preposterous moreResolved Question: Ever wondered what modern day Bethlehem is like?
Bethlehem / Najib Faraj – By the time Israeli were finished invading Bethlehem last night, one boy was dead, six others injured, one arrested and a house was partially demolished. Beginning in the early evening 30 Israeli military vehicles invaded the center of the West Bank city. Young people threw stones and bottles, the Israelis opened fire and lobbed gas and sound grenades. Seventeen year old Qusai Al Afandi of Deheisha Refugee Camp is dead. Mohammad Zaarir is 13 years old and in the hospital after being shot in the neck and hand. Sa’ed Lufti, also of Deheisha Camp, was shot in the head. Murad Al Atrash, a 19 year old, was also shot in the head. Twenty year old Yousef Abu Surur was shot in the back, 12 year old Mohammad Mousa Abayat was shot with two bullets and Israeli forces also shot a 29 year old in the foot, breaking his bones. These young men are in Al Hussein, Beit Jala, Government Hospital in Bethlehem. The injuries, destruction and detentions occurred when the Israeli forces assaulted the heart of the city of Bethlehem, and surrounded the house of Mohammed Issa Abida on Jamal Abdel Nasser Street. Several area residents were held under house arrest. Israeli forces turned the streets of Bethlehem into their own military barracks and wreaked havoc. Several journalists were cornered, some used as "human shields" by the Israelis. Many others, including senior citizens, were also used by the Israelis. Shopkeepers were forced to quickly close their doors, and they, along with their customers, were detained inside during the eight hour siege. Journalists from the Associated Press, Arab News Network, and Reuters were among those targeted. Israeli forces also shot at the journalists they had not detained in order to prevent them from filming. The 46 year old man who the Israelis "wanted" gave himself up to the occupation forces as Israeli bulldozers began demolishing his family home. Mohammad Abida was, according to the Israeli military, "wanted" for seven years for involvement in armed resistance operations wth Saraya Al Quds of Islamic Jihad. Bethlehem / PNN – Throughout Monday night and into the early morning hours of Tuesday Israeli forces invaded several West Bank towns, arresting 17 Palestinians. The Israeli military took the men under the pretext that all were "wanted." Israeli forces stormed two East Jerusalem homes and detained residents before arresting 17 year old and a 20 year old. Witnesses report that the young men were beaten before being taken to unknown locations. In the home of one of those taken from the southern West Bank’s Hebron was a handgun and ammunition. In the northern West Bank’s Jenin Refugee Camp dozens of Israeli soldiers invaded several homes, a Palestinian security source confirmed. A large military force invaded Tulkarem City and its suburbs, arresting a member of the Palestinian National Security and a 22 year old man from a nearby refugee camp. Israeli forces also stormed Nablus City in the northern West Bank, coming from several directions and arresting a young man from a village just to the south. In the Gaza Strip Israeli warplanes filled the skies overnight with helicopters and reconnaissance planes circling the Al Shajaiyeh neighborhood east of Gaza City. Tanks fired three shells from the Nahal Oz Crossing, while soldiers opened heavy machine gun fire toward civilian properties along the eastern side of the Strip. http://www.icahd.org/eng/faq.asp?menu=9&submenu=1 moreResolved Question: ?This is just one case, and the tip of a massive iceberg?
Exactly how the “student” visa swindle works has been revealed with the deportation of a Ghanaian woman who came to the UK five years ago, first as a tourist and who then claimed to be a “student.” Ama Sumani (pictured) stayed on to sponge NHS treatment in Cardiff, despite that treatment being available in her home country. Sumani, 39 years-old, was taken by immigration officers from a Cardiff hospital where she has been receiving dialysis for a year after cancer damaged her kidneys. Although she claimed she would not be able to get the care in Ghana, a spokesman for that country’s high commission in London said the country had two fully-equipped hospitals in Accra and further north in Kumasi. As a member of the Ghana national health insurance scheme she would still receive treatment, the spokesman added. Sumani first came to the UK as a visitor in 2003, but then changed her status to student and attempted to enrol on a banking course at a city college, her solicitor explained. Her lack of English prevented her from pursuing the course and she went to find work which contravened her student visa. In 2005 she returned to Ghana to attend a memorial service for her dead husband. But when she came back to the UK, her student visa was revoked and she was only given temporary admission which effectively meant she was given notice she would be removed, her solicitor said. She did not keep in touch with immigration officials and was first taken ill in January 2006. She is being removed from the country rather than deported because of her expired visa which means she has no legal status in the UK. A removal means that in theory she could apply to return to the UK in the future moreResolved Question: Which British men's clothing store's (chain stores) are regarded for selling the best quality men's suits?
