Answer 8 :
When asking Western school children about the significance of Waterloo, the answer will be something along the lines of ‘the decisive battle between Napoleon and an English lead European coalition’. In fact, the future of the European continent was perceived to depend upon the battle of Waterloo. If Napoleon won, France would have been confirmed as the undisputed master of Europe. If Napoleon was beaten, England would have become the leading power in Europe and greatly expand its sphere of influence. What Western school children are not taught - for obvious reasons - is the much bigger story behind the official narrative, the story of one of the biggest frauds in human history. Nathan Rothschild, the head of the English branch of the Rothschild crime family, took advantage of his advance knowledge of the outcome of the battle by tricking the London Stock Exchange into believing that Napoleon had won. The resulting crash of the Exchange enabled Nathan Rothschild’s agents to buy the entire London stock market for a Penny in the Pound and seize control of the Bank of England. This shameless fraud was ruthlessly repeated in 1929. The private owners of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Rothschild subsidiaries J.P. Morgan, City Bank and Chase Manhattan Bank were awash with money earned by financing World War I. Using their market power, Rothschild’s agents first engineered an artificial boom in the stock market, tricking smaller banks and private investors into putting huge amounts of money into the stock market and then deliberately crashed it, enabling the Rothschild agents to buy most of the U.S. stock market. The ripple effect of the New York crash also enabled Rothschild agents in other countries, such as Germany, to buy local corporations at a fraction of their actual value. Eighty years later, it looks like our ruling psychopaths are at it again. They are systematically destroying trust in the U.S. dollar, causing holders of large amounts of green bags to sell them. At the same time, the Rothschild’s are preventing the European Central Bank from printing sufficient Euros for U.S. Dollar owners to exchange all of their holdings into Euros. That way Dollar owners are forced to buy gold instead, causing the gold price to explode. Simultaneously, the Rothschild’s are using their influence on the media sector to spread rumours of an imminent crash of the U.S. Dollar and international stock markets. As per usual, in the day and age of infowar, those rumours first started in the alternative Internet based media, only to spread into the mainstream business media. Last week’s ‘global stock and credit market warning’ of the Rothschild owned Royal Bank of Scotland means that the next Waterloo must be imminent. All it takes is a trigger such as a thwarted Israeli attack on Iran or the blocking of the Persian Gulf for oil transports, followed by a major stock sell-off by Rothschild agents. Once the world’s stock and credit markets have completely crashed, the price of an ounce of gold will be in the thousands, enabling the Rothschild’s and other owners of large gold holdings to buy the market for a fraction of their true value. Most of the population are not aware of the Federal Reserve Scams. Do you know who owns the Federal Reserve Bank? Private business men who include the Morgan’s, Rothschild’s and the Rockefeller family. What they do is print money out of thin air, as much as they like and it’s not regulated!!! They lend money to the government in large interest rates so that the Government is in debt to them. So they control the world economy. How does the Government pay of their debt to the Federal Bank, they don't WE do, in the form of Income Tax from our wages. In 1913 (as well as funding Hitler, Bushes grandfather was included in the funding) these private business men convinced congress that the public should pay Income tax and Congress did what they were told. There is NO law written down anywhere that states that we have to pay Income tax...it’s a fraud. Not one cent or penny of peoples Income Tax payments goes to the government. It ALL goes directly into the private bankers pockets of the Federal Bank and the bank of England, Don't believe me get the DVD documentary by Aaron Russo called Freedom to Fascism'. They decide what you read and watch. If you get your information and knowledge from the T.V. and papers then you will be brainwashed. Rupert Murdoch owns 160 newspapers, many tv channels including sky and all news programmes, (they are not called PROGRAMMES for nothing) he also own a Hollywood studio. George Orwell used to work for the BBC, where do you think he got his ideas for 1984? Don't buy newspapers and switch the tv off! Research your own information on the web.

Do I need to know Chinese to succeed in Hong Kong employment?
Do I need to know Chinese to succeed in Hong Kong employment?
I'm a qualified accountant looking for my next career move and would love to spend a couple of years in Hong Kong, I don't speak any Chinese at the moment but want to learn when I'm out there. From a professional perspective, will I be able to work and play (and progress my career) just with English?
China - 10 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
english is the language of commerce in HK. you will do alright but picking up the basics will improve your connections and allow you to know when people are bad mouthing you behind the language barrier. It can pay major dividends if you understand and don't let anyone know.
Answer 2 :
Despite the Cantonese' notorious reputation for being ill-tempered, I don't think people will be bad mouthing you unless you give them a reason to. And I think learning language would be put to better use for understanding a new culture and making friends, not just to be on guard and spy on the conversations around you. What's the point of traveling if you approach offensively? To answer your question, for Hong Kong and South China, your studies should focus on Cantonese, because Madarin is pretty useless down there. On the other hand, Mandarin is more useful everywhere else in China, so if you anticipate moving or traveling later, then perhaps you should study both concurrently. But even if you only speak English in HK, you'd get by just fine because it is a very international city. Sincerely, Tom Carter p.s. be sure to look for my new photobook in the Hong Kong bookshops; that's where it was published.

Answer 3 :
I know someone who is a CEO in a financial institution there at the age of 37. He speaks no Cantonese so it is highly possible you can do the same. I worked in Central for a year and don't speak Cantonese either.
Answer 4 :
In China many people can speak Chinese my 6years old brother and my grandfand also can speak English(my grandfather not only can speak English but also can speak Japanese ^ ^)So don't worry about language it will be OK
Answer 5 :
Personally it will be ok with english,but it's really a good idea to learn some basic Mandarin,like thanks,where' s the bathroom...?
Answer 6 :
You can get pretty far in Hong Kong with English, but be reminded that it may not always work. If you seriously want your career to progress, you're spoken and written grasp of Chinese will need to be good. Not every client you encounter will know how to speak English, and even if they do, you may still need to speak a few words of Chinese. Your written Chinese has to be good too because you may need to type emails or write propsals in Chinese. I'm Korean-Chinese and have been exposed to Chinese all my life. But trust me, writing proposals in Chinese is no easy task.
Answer 7 :
My husband was an expat in HK, he doesn't speak any Chinese at all! However if you want to live there for long term learning Chinese is a plus, even though in HK people speak Cantonese only on daily basis but in business they use English or Mandarin with other people.
Answer 8 :
The HK Chinese like to gossip. A lot of business in HK is related to Mainland China, so knowledge of Chinese is needed in almost every company. Being able to read Chinese is more important than speak, because formal written Chinese is the same in all of China, including HK.
Answer 9 :
In hong kong everyone can speak english, especially proffesional people such as accountants. But if you were to go out there and work, you'd have to be careful as hong kong people will bad mouth you (i know cos my dad is an accountant from hong kong) When you get out there definetly try to pick up cantonese, but i wouldnt start learning until you are out there. But before you go i would try and learn mandarin, a fairly simple language to pick up if you already know english. From my perspective you would be able to work and play, but only to an extent where you would experience hong kong from a tourist view. So yes i would try and learn cantonese, but to give you a bigger edge learn mandarin, and if you have all 3 languages (cantonese, mandarin and english) you can get very far in hong kong, and potentially move over to China.
Answer 10 :
Hi "Stuck!", I've returned home from a 6 month work experience trip to Shanghai, it was fantastic and I strongly urge you to follow your dream. You will have a wonderful experience! I knew a few phrases of Mandarin before going to Shanghai and worked within my field for a Chinese company where only 3 people could speak English. I can now hold a conversation in Chinese and can also read and write. I have many non-chinese friends living and working in Hong Kong, they speak no Chinese at all, and have no problems there at all. I recommend you to; 1) Try to find employment with a 'foreign' (ie. American) company if you can. You may feel too isolated if everyone around you is speaking a language you do not understand. 2) Take up formal language lessons once you get there, in either Cantonese or Mandarin. (Spoken Mandarin I think is easier to learn). But only for your own enjoyment / self-development

Would you pay a entrepreneur for doing multiple Jobs?
Would you pay a entrepreneur for doing multiple Jobs?
I would like to know whether you are willing to pay for lawyer and accountant if he is qualified in both areas. or would you prefer that someone did one job and that is it.
Other - Advertising & Marketing - 4 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
It would depend. If the Lawyer did a good job as a lawyer, I might pay for his accounting skills, but if he wasn't I wouldn't. It would also depend on whether these skills were related at all. For example, if you hire someone to put your business online, you would be more likely to also trust him with advertising it online, than you would for say his dental skills.
Answer 2 :
Treat them as separate jobs for your accounting purposes. As a consultant, I cover computer systems, business systems, training, coaching and mentoring. I also do classes, web pages, web content, technical documentation, business plans, database design and implementation, curriculum development, assessment preparation, network design and installation, set up servers and workstations. manage a business for a client, prepare the business for sale, and a lot more. I'm better than most experts in every one of them. So, quite often, I'll do a number of contracts with one business, in more than one of these capacities. I expect to be paid for each and every one of them.
Answer 3 :
To be honest, qualifying and actually knowing what you're doing are two different things. Mainly if they know exactly what they are doing then by all means. Lawyers a normally very well aware of the laws they need to follow even when doing taxes, no pun intended. Just make sure you get a contract that states that any misrepresentation they will be liable for all or a part of the taxes if you get audited.
Answer 4 :
It depends. If one person who can be qualified in both areas and have the skills needed in both area. Be might be save and convenient to employ only one. Since when we have the problem to consult, that person will look the problem in every viewpoint and help us decide better. He is qualified to get more money but it might be cheaper to employ only one.

how do i become a charted accountant or a private practice accountant? pleeease answer. i am begging to you?
i want to be a charted accountant or a private practice accountant. now when i looked at the jobs4u website they said - "Some accountancy degrees provide an exemption from the initial stages of the professional exams. Some areas of accountancy, for instance forensic accounting, may have specific requirements, such as a degree in computing, risk management or law. Degree courses normally require a minimum of two A levels and five GCSEs (A*-C), including maths and English or equivalent qualifications. To be an accountant without first taking a degree usually requires individuals to study for the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) or Chartered Accounting Technician (CAT) qualifications. Many universities will offer exemptions from parts of their accountancy degree to candidates who have AAT or CAT qualifications. AAT and CAT qualifications can eventually lead to chartered accountant status. Foundation degrees are also available." now i dont understand any of this. what are they saying. are they saying i need to pick accountancy at uni and get a degree or anything else. pleeeease if you can explain step by step how to become a charted accountant or private practice accountant. thanks

Answer 2 :
I can see that this is confusing. It can be simplified 1. If you take an undergraduate degree in Accountancy, you may be able to skip the first year of the professional exams. 2. If you want to become a specialist Accountant, you will first need a specific undergraduate degree eg Computing, Risk Management or Law. 3. Otherwise, get an undergraduate degree in the subject of your choice making sure you also have the right number of CATS points at GCSE and A'level. I would add that this is an extremely competitive area so make sure you get at least a 2.1 or you will not get employment therefore not be able to sit the professional exams

I currently live in the US, but my wife and I are hoping to move to the UK, what are good cities to look at?
We're planning on saving money and then finding jobs. She is an accountant/auditor, and I will have my teaching degree by then. We want a nice area that is safe and offers quite a bit to do, but not one that you can't afford anything but a one bedroom flat. Something middle of the road cost-wise. Also, what kind of advice and fun things can you clue me in on, I've never even visited.
Other - United Kingdom - 19 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
In all honesty, the UK is no good now. Schools are a disgrace, you wouldn't want to teach in them. There is no safe places anywhere, Terrorists are taking over, think it over carefully because the UK has gone to pot. And thats the truth.
Answer 2 :
come to Liverpool! people put it down but i absolutely love it. its far cheaper than the south of england, there's loads of city-life, but its also on the coast so has areas of national trust parks, its also pretty much in the middle of the uk and you can get anywhere from here so easily! it is the safest place i have honestly ever been. i feel totally comfortable walking around alone any time of the day here. obviously it has not so nice areas like every city, but they are easily avoided! anything questions feel free to contact me!
Answer 3 :
Good places near where i live= Canterbury, Maidstone, ashford (sometimes) Bad places = Folkestone ,Dover Some parts of Deal Whats ur teaching degree in cos my school Dover Grammar School for Boys is needing sum new ones! Also Don't listen to Raschalline she reads too much into THE DAILY MAIL, I am a pupil and my school is a very good school,no behavioral problams atall.
Answer 4 :
I've lived in the UK for 3 years now. Its a beautiful country, but honestly, don't bother unless you have a crapload of money. You wont be able to afford to live, otherwise. I love it and am settled here now, but thats mostly to do with the fact that my husband is British. Realistically, we are thinking about moving to the US because we simply cannot afford to do a lot of what we want, ie, owing a home...etc.
Answer 5 :
You should move to the countryside becuase you can get very low priced, good places somwhere like Suffolk(especailly Bury St. Edmunds, a very peaceful friendly place). London is the worst place you could live in right now. Pollution, crime, and very high priced places is what you'll get!
Answer 6 :
Solihull is really nice, near the big city of Birmingham with its jobs and amenities but not in it if you get what I mean. Excellent schools, well looked after roads, pretty parks, great shopping centre. However it is a bit expensive cost wise, you get what you pay for of course but there are some areas like Hobs Moat and Shirley, that are less expensive. or try a nicer area of Birmingham like Hall Green.
Answer 7 :
if you are looking for a smaller city near London but far enough away to enjoy a bit of the countryside too then St.Albans is the best place for you! 16 mins on the train into central London and situated North of London. The city is situated on the Roman city Verulanium and history is present all around the city. Despite high house prices in the area St.Albans has alot to offer everyone.
Answer 8 :
why the uk, mind you I have lived in Spain for the last three years and recently moved back, nothing like the uk, parts of it are beautiful. do you really want to live in a city, If you do, then you cant go wrong with HULL, proper name KINGSTON UPON HULL, it has culture, lots of old beautiful buildings and lots to do. unlike other citys in the uk and probably US the crime rate is really low, it makes the newspapers even if the local bus is going to stop going over the humber bridge. when you walk around Hull you feel really safe. if not a city then the east coast of england near Hull, (east riding of yorkshire) is really nice, but i might be predujice because I live there, happy searching, hope this helps
Answer 9 :
Bath in England is a nice town, it's got Roman baths and looks more olden than most other towns, also a lot of towns in south west England, like in Cornwall, Devon etc. Exeter is quite big and has a good town centre. So basically if I had my choice, if you want to live in a town or city and have a reasonable crime rate, I'd go for somewhere in South West England. Best of luck.
Answer 10 :
stay in the us its probably safer
Answer 11 :
In England - Bristol and certainly its outskirts are worth considering. Bristol is a vibrant city with large student population. Some areas are better/safer than others but there's lots to do in and around the area. What about Wales - a country in its own right. I live in a beautiful village in South Wales - around 35 minutes from Bristol to the east and the same to Cardiff to the west. Cardiff is the capital city of Wales and is cheaper to live in than Bristol. Again - some areas better than others. The Wales Tourist Board website www.visitwales.com is useful with ideas of places to visit and things to do. Certainly it'll give you a taste of what we can offer.
Answer 12 :
I agree with 'lizze G' Wales is a wonderful place to live. I used to live in a small village in the heart of the vale and it was probably, the best time of my life. It was great. Cardiff City is a beautiful place and so is Cardiff Bay, both have numerous attractions and it is not that expensive at all.

Answer 14 :
Edinburgh is my favourite city - there is tonnes going on around town, with lots of great bars, resturants, attractions and shops. Its also quite a nice green city, with lots of open spaces, and its easy to access the beautiful countryside around about. Prices are quite high for property unfortunately, but if you were willing to live outside the centre, or in a village outside the city, then you can get something bigger for your money in a nice area!
Answer 15 :
move to ireland instead your money will go further thats what we found when we moved out of london to ireland anyway
Answer 16 :
If your wife wants an accounting job in a large accountancy firm its probably best to head for one of the major cities - Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, London, Bristol, Liverpool, Sheffield, Newcastle, Leeds etc, you as a teacher will probably be able to get as job in most places. It just depends what you're after - each city has its different charms: I guess you should research and visit all the ones you are considering before selecting somewhere permanent. Housing is going to be your major cost but outside of London you should be able to get somewhere reasonable (2/3 beds) for £500-1000 a month rent. As a teacher (if you're fully qualified and your qualification is recognised here) you would expect to be earning £20,000-£25,000 starting salary (+£4-5,000 more in London) and your wife as an accountant could expect to be earning £30,000+ (again assuming that her qualifications are recognised)
Answer 17 :
I suppose it really depends on where you want to live. Inner-city, and something out in the country. Scotland has a good mixture, Loch Lomond is less than an hour from the city centre. But, if you want to go on holiday transport links are much easier living near London You also might want to consider that the education system in England/Wales and in Scotland are quite different (but both are very different from the US system anyway) Also, London may get you higher wages, but the cost of living is much higher too.
Answer 18 :
I cant imagine why anyone from the USA would want to come here. This country has had it. I'd love to emigrate to the USA for the scenery, the space, the better standard of living, the choice of climate. Once you've seen San Francisco why on earth would you want to live anywhere else? The UK is overpriced and overcrowded, dirty streets full of rubbish. It's getting more dangerous every year. If you want to teach in a school, pick what we call a "public school" (which means that the parents have to pay a fee) because there is no discipline in state-run schools anymore and it is common for teachers to have nervous breakdowns. For comparison, the nearest thing to beautiful, exciting New York city is Croydon (and what a dump Croydon is!) and the nearest thing to Hawaii is Cornwall.

We're planning on saving money and then finding jobs. She is an accountant/auditor, and I will have my teaching degree by then. We want a nice area that is safe and offers quite a bit to do, but not one that you can't afford anything but a one bedroom flat. Something middle of the road cost-wise. Also, what kind of advice and fun things can you clue me in on, I've never even visited.

Answer 1 :
In all honesty, the UK is no good now. Schools are a disgrace, you wouldn't want to teach in them. There is no safe places anywhere, Terrorists are taking over, think it over carefully because the UK has gone to pot. And thats the truth.
Answer 2 :
come to Liverpool! people put it down but i absolutely love it. its far cheaper than the south of england, there's loads of city-life, but its also on the coast so has areas of national trust parks, its also pretty much in the middle of the uk and you can get anywhere from here so easily! it is the safest place i have honestly ever been. i feel totally comfortable walking around alone any time of the day here. obviously it has not so nice areas like every city, but they are easily avoided! anything questions feel free to contact me!
Answer 3 :
Good places near where i live= Canterbury, Maidstone, ashford (sometimes) Bad places = Folkestone ,Dover Some parts of Deal Whats ur teaching degree in cos my school Dover Grammar School for Boys is needing sum new ones! Also Don't listen to Raschalline she reads too much into THE DAILY MAIL, I am a pupil and my school is a very good school,no behavioral problams atall.
Answer 4 :
I've lived in the UK for 3 years now. Its a beautiful country, but honestly, don't bother unless you have a crapload of money. You wont be able to afford to live, otherwise. I love it and am settled here now, but thats mostly to do with the fact that my husband is British. Realistically, we are thinking about moving to the US because we simply cannot afford to do a lot of what we want, ie, owing a home...etc.
Answer 5 :
You should move to the countryside becuase you can get very low priced, good places somwhere like Suffolk(especailly Bury St. Edmunds, a very peaceful friendly place). London is the worst place you could live in right now. Pollution, crime, and very high priced places is what you'll get!
Answer 6 :
Solihull is really nice, near the big city of Birmingham with its jobs and amenities but not in it if you get what I mean. Excellent schools, well looked after roads, pretty parks, great shopping centre. However it is a bit expensive cost wise, you get what you pay for of course but there are some areas like Hobs Moat and Shirley, that are less expensive. or try a nicer area of Birmingham like Hall Green.
Answer 7 :
if you are looking for a smaller city near London but far enough away to enjoy a bit of the countryside too then St.Albans is the best place for you! 16 mins on the train into central London and situated North of London. The city is situated on the Roman city Verulanium and history is present all around the city. Despite high house prices in the area St.Albans has alot to offer everyone.
Answer 8 :
why the uk, mind you I have lived in Spain for the last three years and recently moved back, nothing like the uk, parts of it are beautiful. do you really want to live in a city, If you do, then you cant go wrong with HULL, proper name KINGSTON UPON HULL, it has culture, lots of old beautiful buildings and lots to do. unlike other citys in the uk and probably US the crime rate is really low, it makes the newspapers even if the local bus is going to stop going over the humber bridge. when you walk around Hull you feel really safe. if not a city then the east coast of england near Hull, (east riding of yorkshire) is really nice, but i might be predujice because I live there, happy searching, hope this helps
Answer 9 :
Bath in England is a nice town, it's got Roman baths and looks more olden than most other towns, also a lot of towns in south west England, like in Cornwall, Devon etc. Exeter is quite big and has a good town centre. So basically if I had my choice, if you want to live in a town or city and have a reasonable crime rate, I'd go for somewhere in South West England. Best of luck.
Answer 10 :
stay in the us its probably safer
Answer 11 :
In England - Bristol and certainly its outskirts are worth considering. Bristol is a vibrant city with large student population. Some areas are better/safer than others but there's lots to do in and around the area. What about Wales - a country in its own right. I live in a beautiful village in South Wales - around 35 minutes from Bristol to the east and the same to Cardiff to the west. Cardiff is the capital city of Wales and is cheaper to live in than Bristol. Again - some areas better than others. The Wales Tourist Board website www.visitwales.com is useful with ideas of places to visit and things to do. Certainly it'll give you a taste of what we can offer.
Answer 12 :
I agree with 'lizze G' Wales is a wonderful place to live. I used to live in a small village in the heart of the vale and it was probably, the best time of my life. It was great. Cardiff City is a beautiful place and so is Cardiff Bay, both have numerous attractions and it is not that expensive at all. One place that is worth a visit is the Red Dragon Centre in Cardiff Bay....fantastic! Wales.
