Phoenix capital researche With the European End Game now in sight, the primary question that needs to be addressed is whether Europe will opt for a period of massive deflation, massive inflation, or deflation followed by inflation. Indeed, with Europe’s entire banking system insolvent (even German banks need to be recapitalized to the tune of over $171 billion) the outcome for Europe is only one of two options: 1) Massive debt restructuring 2) Monetization of everything/ hyperinflation These are the realities facing Europe today (and eventually Japan and the US). Personally, I believe we are going to see a combination of the two with deflation hitting all EU countries first and then serious inflation or hyperinflation hitting peripheral players and the PIIGS. In terms of how we get there, I believe that in the next 14 months, the following will occur. 1) Germany and possibly France exit the Euro 2) ALL PIIGS defaulting on their debt 3) Potential hyperinflation in the PIIGS and peripheral EU countries 1) Leave the EU
Psychology: Adult temper tantrums - by Elizabeth M Young Elizabeth M Young's image for: "Psychology Adult Temper Tantrums" Caption: Location: Image by: Sometimes it just feels good to have an adult temper tantrum, stomping the feet and kvetching about the unfairness of it all. But healthy adults will resolve to collect evidence, then walk away and then sue, file complaints, call security or the police, or handle the matter using legal and socially acceptable measures. When considering the odd, normal adult temper tantrum, it helps to understand that there are individuals who repeatedly and consistently get gratification from triggering upset and anger in others. There is a social adjustment disorder called "explosive disorder", which calls for certain conditions to be met before it is diagnosed.The problem is when the temper is repetitive and involves behavior that is abusive, disturbs the peace, is physically violent or is illegal.

A school secretary provides a warm and welcoming face to members of the general public as well as providing comfort and reassurance to pupils throughout the school day. School secretaries work in all kinds of schools, including small, rural primary schools and large comprehensive schools located in city centres. The majority of school secretaries are women and the job appeals in particular to women with school-age children, since they are not required to work during the school holidays. Salary Qualifications
Technology Review MIT Psychology: Adult temper tantrums - by Robert Grice Robert Grice's image for: "Adult Temper Tantrums" Caption: Location: Image by: Psychology: Adult Temper Tantrums We have all lost our “cool” at times. The first step in exploring any topic is to define the terms. What are some possible causes of temper tantrums in adults? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. How do I prioritise my workload? How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time... People who over-eat are often described as having ‘eyes bigger than their stomachs’. The time management equivalent is the person who takes on more and more projects that look inviting and exciting, with a total disregard for existing work commitments. To regain control over your workload, a reality check is essential. And finally, apply a little discipline. The scenario of being allocated too much work by a superior and feeling that you cannot refuse is addressed in another page of this topic – The art of saying ‘no’. Prioritisation Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least. Prioritisation is the cornerstone of good time management. These tasks directly contribute to the achievement of your job objectives and the functioning of your organisation, in other words, the work that you are paid to do. These, if not completed very soon, will have a negative impact. Quadrant 1 – important and urgent
