level the playing field
data is released at the same time to everyone, which
means that there is no such thing as insider trading. For
example, CNBC will announce the nonfarm payroll
numbers the instant that it is released, leveling the playing
field for all investors
you know levelling the playing field?
Rodivaldo Marcelo Raimundo - Unix Advisor and English Instructor - (@ Tivit - Storage Team - Clariion, DMX and V-MAX) says:
No, I don't.........
poem coach says:
levelled = flat
if the game field is flat entao it is fair for everyone
no advantages
Rodivaldo Marcelo Raimundo - Unix Advisor and English Instructor - (@ Tivit - Storage Team - Clariion, DMX and V-MAX) says:
Levelling to the down cost and high final price???
poem coach says:
i don't understand fully
oh
lucro, legal
its metaphor of business being a game
playing field = football pitch
when i learn computer programming then the playing field will be levelled between us

the dark @ mario pompetti e perry barnes with lyrics com letras
the dark
from the dark I create sparks
sharks cry
your marks increase
a stab in the background a shot in the dark
the distant dim dense distraction is destiny
do u want this, to be?
Me, you, us and them
we sleep through the night
snug and tight
quite comfortable lives
energy saving lightbulbs
show me my solar panels
I'm able to injoy the stars
whether i'm famoso or not
light the choir

warren buffet's guide to being rich
Seizing a Few Good Opportunities
Buffet’s best business decision was to take advantage of the post-war boom, an opportunity open
to anyone, by becoming a professional investor. He followed a rational approach to investing:
“you do not need a great many deals to succeed in the investment business.”
“In fact, if…you got a punch card with 20 punches on it, and every time you made an investment
decision you used up one punch, and that’s all you were going to get, you would make 20 very
good investment decisions. And you could get very rich, incidentally. You don’t need 50 good
ideas at all.”
examples of investments: learning how to do a job, buying a house, buying a business, learning how to trade shares, investing in high interest bank accounts
you have 20 opportunities, go for it

learn another language earn another soul
i almost cried a bit, i think its quite beautiful thing she's doing, thanks for saying about this
german is similar to english, i can hear some of the words
speaking a 2nd language is amazing experience for me
5 to 7 languages i now understand some of from speaking portuguese, and i assume its the same for everyone who speaks one of those languages
if u know about anchoring in psychology
every lingua is actually a different group of feelings
literally its a 2nd personality

stereophonics @ lying in the sun
From the Album "Just Enough Education To Perform"
I wish I could lie in the sun,
The same things as anyone,
I wish I could lie down there,
With my feet high in the air,
I'd have a drink in my hand,
Read words from a newspaper stand,
I wish I could lie in the sun,
Wish I could fly like everyone,
Same things as anyone,
Same things as anyone,
But you burn me up, you paint my skin,
In bad designs, that aint even in,
My skin's crawling up the wall,
Into the ocean I'd love to fall,
I hear the sounds but they ain't the same,
As feeling them with you, two feet away,
There's always more worse off than me,
Suppose I'm lucky I can even see,
All the people that I'd like to be,
Passing me by everyday in the street,
Same things as anyone,
Same things as anyone,
But you burn me up, you paint my skin,
In bad designs, that aint even in,
I got good lungs, I've got a good heart,
My mind is fit and my feet can walk,
And here I am in the shade on the street,
Asking people for money to eat,
What did I ever do to deserve this?
Did I kill a child or something worse?
Same things as anyone,
Whats the reason, maybe make you feel,
How much more fortunate you are than me

dr barnes saves the world
i remember a guy once said in a college "if everyone came out on the streets do u really think there would be war in iraq, people don't care about what's happening"
i realised then maybe he was right, protesting was banned from the streets also by the dictatorship and a bbc guy was murdered, so it wasn't that easy to fix
i made a joke to a kenyan politics teacher around that time was that "i'm fighting the war in iraq with my solar panal sitting on my shelf" he uncontrollably for 10 minutes
because if the war was for oil as others have been
another way to stop the war
(its not a war because a war is where 2 sides are fighting = bill hicks)
would be to totally stop using oil
how? sunflower cooking oil makes cars run perfectly when mixed with 1% white spirit
this has been on many tv programmes and its better for the car as they say
electricity is rarely produced using oil probably never.
buses use oil, and so if you can bicycle to the train station you stopped the war
where's my nobel peace prize?

big humour
big humour
It's Sunday! How's it going?
Today I came to bring large humour for you!
Blonde Jokes: This genre is particularly popular in the United States. For some reason, blondes are considered less intelligent than everybody else. Here are a few examples:
Q:Why should blondes not be given coffe breaks?
A: It takes too long to retrain them again.
Q: How can you tell if a blonde's been using the computer?
A: There's white-out on the screen.
Q: What happened to the blonde who tried tap dancing?
A: She fell in the sink.
Q: What do you see when you look into a blonde's eyes?
A: The back of her head.
Q: How do you make a blonde laugh on Monday morning?
A: Tell her a joke on Friday night.
And finally:
Q: Why do men like blonde jokes?
A: They say because they can understand them. (Grrrr, it's not funny!).
Guys, you need to be very much aware that humour is very ambiguous. It means a lot of different things to different people. A joke that's funny to you might be offensive to somebody else. People might not get the joke, or they might perceive it completely differently than you think they are. I think... an anthropologist I know of, he said that the last test of whether you know a culture well is your ability to tell and understand jokes in that culture.
Did you like it? Hope so...
All the best and... 'Til next time!

Some hints to improve your English:
My name's Gustavo, aka "Guto", I'm 22 going on 23 and Brazilian.
To begin with, I think English is the most important language to learn at this moment, especially in the context of globalization.
I wonder, what's the most important English skill? What skill must you have to communicate well? I'd say it's fluency! What's fluency? Fluency is the ability to speak and understand a language quickly and easily, without translation. Fluency means you can talk easily with native speakers and that is our main goal here. I'm beginner like most of you and I'm here to exchange some experiences.
Luis is an excellent teacher, he's brilliant! I really like his method and his books. So, to have a good teacher like him is a good start. I'm so proud to be one of his students!
I think to be a fantastic English speaker, you must learn English with your ears, not just with your eyes, it's an ideology of a North American teacher. In other words, your ears are the key. The best listening must be understandable and repetitive, both of those words are important. You must hear a new word and new grammar many times before you'll understand them instantly.
Increase your learning time and also your listening time. Use iPod or MP3 player. Listen to movies. Guys, that way you'll learn English faster!
Another great idea is to read a good English dictionary that brings some slangs and most used expressions by natives and then your speech will sound like theirs. I do that and it really works!
Read them, make phrases, practise more and more. Your English will come along like mine.
You have tried the old ways, now it's time to try something new!
Good luck! I wish you success with your English learning!
'Til next time!
Gustavo
accurate native english phrases
my friend went from average english to amazing english in 4 months by constantly checking this dictionary
barnes says:
so you read the dictionary then you suddenly remember
or would you practise
Gustavo says:
well, I read them and then I practise and make phrases...
barnes says:
in a document
or with people
Gustavo says:
both

when the price is right @ john la valle
WHEN THE PRICE IS RIGHT
John La Valle
Just back from my business seminar in Milan, Italy, reminded me of something I include there, and then some, and thought I'd share it this month! It seems like a good time for it, especially in the current world economic situation. Some discussions recently have been centered around how much to charge for services, whether consulting, or others. This is not necessarily the place to start, as I discovered through the School of Hard Knocks, thankfully many, many years ago.
Back in the first days of my opening my consulting business, I had the opportunity to be introduced to the Vice President of a large company here in the US, who also happened to be interested in what I do with teambuilding, etc. Anyway, as I was leaving my house for the appointment, Kathleen asked me how much I was going to charge him and I replied, "I don't know." She said, "Come back in here and close the door." I did, of course, and she said, "You have to have a number in mind, you know," and I knew she was right (as she usually is). So I said, "Yes, dear. My good friend Charlie is a consultant and he gets $600 per day, so I'll charge that." In the mid 80's $600 per day was considered good as the average to good consultant goes. She said, "OK, good." And I took off for the appointment.
To make this one a bit short, in my just less than one hour drive, I kept giving myself increases for various reasons and by the time I got to the appointment, I was up to $1,200 per day, and thought, "Wow! That was easy!" I went to the person's office, introduced myself to his secretary and she said, "I'm sorry, he got tied up in a meeting and will be a while. He wants you to wait. I said, "Yes, of course," or something pleasant and immediately thought, "$1,400 a day. I'm not waiting for free!!"
He came around about a half hour later and we went into his office and "chatted" a bit before he asked me what I charged. I said, "$1,500 per day plus expenses." His replied: "That's all?" Well, I moved fast and said, "For the first time you use me because it's like an audition." (I was a musician in another time long ago). As I calibrated him carefully, he asked, "And how much is it after that?" I said, "2,500 per day plus expenses," held my breath, watched as he smiled, let my breath out as he said, "That's better. That's what the really good consultants are charging, anyway." He hired me for a day, checked me out, paid the $2,500 on a $1,500 invoice and gave me lots of business after that.
So where did I get the $2,500 figure from? Just pulled it out of my head based on what information I had up to that point, including his nonverbal cues.
What type or kind of people do you want as customers? There's a relationship, obviously, between the price, the time span of the project and their expectations based on their perceived value afterward. While this may initially seem complicated, it really isn't. People who are willing to pay more for something are already prequalifying themselves for you regarding the price and what they expect, or not.
When Kathleen and I first started doing public seminars here in New Jersey many years ago, we played with prices for a one day introduction program, a teaser that was well packed with great information, anyway. We priced from $100 for the day all the way down to FREE! That's right: FREE! And here's what we learned:
The more we lowered the price, the more people we got to attend the intro program!! Great, right? But the less people we got to sign up for our longer, higher priced seminar, which is why we were conducting the intro's, anyway. And as we got closer to "Free", we started getting questions like, "Are you providing lunch?" and on and on. So we raised the price, got more quality and more qualified people, less attendees in our intro's and more people signing up for the longer, higher priced seminars. And no questions about free lunch.
Most people who know me know that I "work" about 6 months per year, sometimes a bit more. People want to know why? I really say, "Because I can." But that's predicated on other things I realized when I first started out. The first thing was that I didn't want to work and travel 50 weeks per year as I was, and second, I wanted to qualify my corporate customers so that I'd have quality companies to work with.
So assuming that you have a quality product or service, why should you charge more?
First, you shift your market appeal from the shoppers to the buyers. Period. Shoppers shop, buyers buy. A store that is full of shoppers with a few buyers, isn't as valuable as a store full of buyers, and just a few shoppers. Shoppers are looking for the "bargains", the "deals". They'll be sure to tell you what so-and-so is charging, as if that matters. Shoppers often don't know what they want and when they do, it's usually then just the price. Buyers often know what they want and want it. Period. They will sort through their "higher quality" expectations, too.
Second, if someone else is charging more, the buyers want to know why. If it satisfies more of their criteria than the lower priced guy, they'll go for the higher priced item.
The next part of the pricing aspect is what you think your services are worth, or what you are worth as a resource commodity. When you think about it, even with so many seminars being priced low, doesn't it raise that question in your head? What does this person really think they are worth? Why would they charge so little? How do they pay their bills? How long will they be able to stay in business? I wonder if they know how many potential customers they may have lost?
I was asked once by a very good friend and mentor the following question during a seminar for consultants when it came to pricing: "What are you worth?" Answers from around the room included, "With what I know, I gotta be worth 2 million a year," "$750,000 with my skills,", etc. etc. Joe looked at us and said, "You're worth what you're making." The silence was deafening, the heartbeats, the sighs, the shifting in seats. And he said, "Go to lunch. See you all afterward."

fit but you know it @ slang and real english accent
See I reckon you're about an 8 or a 9,
Maybe even 9 and a half in four beers time.
That blue top shop top you've got on IS nice,
Bit too much fake tan though - but yeah you score high.
But there's just one little thing that really really,
Really really annoying me about you you see,
Yeah yeah like I said you are really fit
But my gosh don't you just know it
I'm not trying to pull you
Even though I would like to
I think you are really fit
You're fit But my gosh don't you know it
So when I looked at you standing there with your hoard,
I was waiting in the queue looking at the board
Wondering whether to have a Burger or chips
Or what the shrapnel in my back pocket could afford
When I noticed out the corner of my eye
Looking toward my direction
Your eyes locked onto my course
I couldn't concentrate on what I wanted to order,
Which cost me my place in the queue I waited for YEAH
I'm not trying to pull you
Even though I would like to
I think you are really fit
You're fit but my gosh don't you know it
Whoa! Leave it out
Are you smoking crack or something?
Leave it Out
Mike just leave it just leave it
We cannot have that behaviour in this establishment
S'not worth it mike, just leave it
Don't Touch Me, S'not Worth It
Don't Touch Me, D, Look I'm Alright
Don't Touch me
For a while there I was thinking - yeah but what if?
Picturing myself pulling with bare white hot wit
Snaring you as you were standing there opposite
Whether or not you knew it I swear you didn't tick
And when that bloke in the white behind us lot queuing
Was clocking onto you too yeah I had to admit
That yeah yeah you are fit,
And yeah I do want it,
But I stop sharking for a minute to get chips and drinks
I'm not trying to pull you
Even though I would like to
I think you are really fit
You're fit But my gosh don't you know it
Now, I bashed my head hard earlier choosing a brew.
But I am digressing slightly so I'll continue.
I didn't want to bowl over all geezer and rude,
Not rude like good but just rude like uncouth,
You girls think you can just flirt and it comes to you,
But let me tell you, see, yes, yes, but you are really rude,
And rude as in good, I knew this as you stood and queued,
But I just did not want to give the satisfaction to you!
I'm not trying to pull you
Even though I would like to
I think you are really fit
You're fit But my gosh don't you know it
Oy, just as you started to make your big advance
With the milkshake and that little donut in hand
I was like nah, I can't, even though you look grand
But you look sharp there smiling hard suggesting and
Gleaming away with your hearty hearty looking tan
But I admit the next bit was spanner to my plan
You walked towards my path but just brushed right past
And into the arms of that fucking white shirted man
I'm not trying to pull you
Even though I would like to
I think you are really fit
You're fit But my gosh don't you know it
What do I give a fuck.. I've got a girlfirend anyway
(whoa, we've all had a drink mate)
We're all a bit drunk, yeah we've had a few fair play
I got this stella I bombed from that last café
This nights not even begun, yes yes oh yay
I did fancy you a bit though yeah I must say
I would rather I hadn't mugged myself on display
But this is just another case of female stopping play
On otherwise a total result of a holiday
I'm not trying to pull you
Even though I would like to
I think you are really fit
You're fit But my gosh don't you know it
