Sitting in a private classroom on the lower slope of the Pichincha volcano, more than 9,000 feet above sea level in the Ecuadorian Andes, I am unaffected by the thin air. But the conjugation is driving me insane. Zayra Ibujes, one of several language instructors at the Amazonas Ecuador Spanish School, has just asked me to conjugate the verb aullar (to howl).
âYo aullo. Tu aullas. El aulla …âAfter correctly rattling off, â1 howl, you howl, he howls,â I mispronounce the âwe howlâ conjugation.
âNo, no, no, seÃ±or,â says, SeÃ±orita Ibujes, correcting me in Spanish for the l5th time this morning. âNosotros aullamos.â 1 stifle the urge to lean back in my chair and aullo!
Amazonas is one of more than 60 Spanish-language schools in Quito, Ecuador. A mild year-round climate, relatively safe surroundings, a clearly spoken Spanish dialect and low prices make Ecuadorâs capital the place to be for Spanish-language learning.

Depending on which school you choose, youâll pay from to per hour for private, one-on-one spanish classes with an instructor certified by the Ministry of Education. Most students remain in class four hours per day, but schools are willing to cater to all schedules.

As is the case with mi profesora, Senorita Ibujes, most teachers speak little or no English. This worried me initially. But after one week of Spanish language immersion, 1 began understanding at an accelerated rate. Since opening its doors in 1989, the Amazonas Ecuador Spanish School averages approximately 500 foreign students per year. Most come from Europe (England, Germany and Holland are prime markets), although Spanish-speaking wannabes pop in regularly from the United States, Canada, and as far away as South Africa, South Korea and the Czech Republic. According to general manager Gustavo Guzman, the average student is about 24 years old. âBut weâve had students as young as 8,â he says. âAnd as old as 76.â

The school provides three language learning options. The âSuper Dynamicâ curriculum is recommended for those with only one or two weeks to spare. Classes generally run four to five hours per day. Lessons deal with real-life situations like ordering food at a restaurant or checking into a hotel. Eighty percent of the class involves conversation. The remaining time is devoted to reading, writing, grammar and punctuation.

The âDynamicâ program is best suited for those with three to four weeks in which to study. Again, classes run four to five hours, five days per week. With more days in which to learn, however, students receive a more comprehensive approach Education begins with the Spanish alphabet and moves on to numbers, colors, days of the week, and one of the most important (and sometimes most difficult) aspects of language learning: verb conjugation.

Travelers with a few months on their hands will no doubt benefit from the âRegularâ program, which allows for a thoroughly detailed approach to language learning. âWe have great success,â says Senior Guzman. âOur students know we are here to help them.â Help is available at all levels, from beginner to advanced. The school prides itself on having taught American Airlines pilots and flight attendants, as well as corporate executives like the general manager of Heineken in Ecuador.

To enhance the language-learning experience, many schools offer a âHome Stayâ program. This allows students to live with a carefully screened, middle-class Ecuadorian family in a comfortable environment. The families speak no English. Students are thus provided with the impetus to reinforce Lessons learned in class. Seventy-five percent of students at the Amazonas Ecuador Spanish School, myself included, take advantage of the Home Stay program. I live in the sprawling three-story home of Dr. Jaime Yepez Castro and his wife, Ines Maria Darquea de Yepez. During their six-year affiliation with Amazonas Ecuador Spanish School, the retired couple has hosted 98 students from ah over the world. After I signed their dog-eared guest register, Senora Yepez wrote â99â below my name.

My stay includes three scrumptious home-cooked meals per day, laundry service, a large private bedroom with a color TV, and a private bathroom. At a cost of per day, itâs cheaper and more carefree than living at home. Which brings me to a bilingual revelation. I pay per hour for private Spanish classes that would cost or more in the United States. If youâre serious about learning Spanish, it may be cheaper and far more interesting to fly to Quito, enroll in a Spanish language course and live with an Ecuadorian family.
Check airline prices. Do the math. You might find yourself saying caramba!

Barack wins, the feelings of one black man
by George Cook www.letstalkhonestly.com 11/06/08

On Tuesday November 4, 2008 Barack Obama won the presidential election to become the 44th President of the United States. This was a great day for my family. It so moved me that I haven’t been able to sleep for two days and am still trying to come to grips with the Barack Obama victory.

Everything is like a blur and I am just starting to realize on November 6 that we have a black president. Even now in my slightly delirious state I keep waiting for some reporter on Fox News to start screaming about a voter discrepancy somewhere. Most likely Alaska.

I knew I had to write something but I was just too emotional or exhausted. Probably a combination of both. That and a few celebratory Heinekens.

Election Day was very special for me and besides the 3 hour wait to vote ( which will become six hours as I age and tell the story of how I walked in six inches of snow with no shoes to vote for Obama 30 years from now ) it was a beautiful day.

Early on I drove 3 elderly African American women who were all over 75 years old to the polls. They were acting like little school girls giggling and smiling. I almost said, “Don’t make me pull this car over.”

But it hit me that as happy as I was that I could not really appreciate what they felt. At only forty I have not faced real overt racism. But they had, They lived through Jim Crow and segregation. They saw America’s ugly side.

Their joy was really one of “We have overcome” and I knew they really appreciated and understood what was happening in their lifetime.

That made me think of my daughter who will in her lifetime think it’s normal for a black man to be president and hopefully one day will see a woman attain the highest office in the land. Now when I tell my daughter she can be president I wont be talking out one side of my mouth.

All these thoughts brought a few tears to my eyes. That’s a big deal for me since I can only remember crying three times in my adult life. Those three being when my great grandmother died, when my daughter was born, and when the Giants lost the Super Bowl in 2000.

I want to close by returning to those three old women I drove to the polls. Now everyone who has ever been in an old black persons home knows along with plastic covers on the furniture there are pictures of three people you will always see on the wall.

Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King, and John F. Kennedy.

Now they can add one more…………..

Commercials can be so funny and enjoyable like any TV show, but shorter in length, fact that is known by people who like to enjoy UTube videos funny clips that also include UTube banned commercials. How can a commercial be banned? There is a very old concept that still applies nowadays: censure. Dictionary defines censure as an expression of strong disapproval or harsh criticism, but when it comes to commercials, there are several factors that might propitiate their banning.

In the United States censure is a public reprimanding that, someone receives for inappropriate behavior. Applied to radio and TV, a commercial can be censored when it has inappropriate content. This decision is made at the sole discretion of the staff in charge of a station management, but sometimes can be influenced by a public request or by an official or federal entity asking to take it down or modify it.

Same principle applies in almost all the countries around the world regardless the nature of the content, meaning that what at simply sight looks like an innocent Burger King commercial can be banned for sexually explicit content, like occurred in Germany when commercial promoting burgers with naked vegetables simulating humans was aired.

When it comes to banned commercials, both UTube funniest videos and UTube clumsy clips are good source to find banned commercials online. Furthermore, point your browser directly to UtubeVideoClip to see some of best commercial videos online.

Where does censure limit start? This is a good question for all of us. What may look simple an innocent to our eyes, could result offensive to others., although some broadcasting stations consider many other factors before banning a commercial including potential trademarks or copyright infringement, sexual explicit or sexual oriented content in family air time, politic context that might link the broadcaster with the advertiser’s message, and as many other reasons as the broadcasting station consider, otherwise upon an authority request.

Among the most banned commercials with sexual context that some companies have aired we can cite, those of GoDaddy, Levis, Microsoft, Heineken and other beers, and those commercials advertising condoms. Other commercials have been banned for their “bad taste” or anti-social behavior and a long list of etceteras besides these.

Do you have a banned commercial that you would like to share? Visit www.utubevideoclip.com and upload it. Membership is free and you receive free video storage space, a feature that not is not available at most hosting services either free or paid. In addition, you will meet other members who collect and upload those banned commercials that you saw once, and those that you have never seen before.

It is amazing discover how those banned commercials sometimes were recorded by accident, while someone like to record commercials either by hobby or as a part of their studies in disciplines associated to creativity, advertising, marketing, etc… Does not really matter why banned commercials were captured by someone’s video recorder, the great thing about UTube clips is that anyone can discover why those commercials were censored.

The UK is facing some of the most challenging economic conditions for many years. Profit warnings are coming thick and fast, and the sense of gloom is deepening with every new announcement about rationalizations and redundancies. But every challenge
represents an opportunity, and those companies busily cutting their marketing and training budgets and putting freezes on salaries and recruitment could be doing completely the wrong thing.

Jackie Orme, Chief Executive of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, likens companies’ current conundrum to a sort of ‘glass half-full or half-empty’ dilemma. So while the job of a leader gets harder in a downturn, “maybe the potential for it to be even more rewarding just got greater,” she points out.

What is incontrovertible, however, is that while all organisations go through tough times, the test of their leadership mettle is how they respond. So although “knowing how and when to batten down the hatches is undoubtedly an important leadership skill,” says Orme, “it won’t support growth, nor an advantaged position, for the longer term.” As such, she concludes: “Riding out to meet the storm takes courage.”

It may take courage, but there is no alternative, says Steve Frobisher, a Member of PA’s Management Group. “Over the past 15 years or so companies have had it relatively easy,” he says. “But globalisation, climate change and the war for talent are examples of
challenges that are rapidly intensifying, and a downturn just accelerates further an already accelerating pace of change.” He continues: “You can get away with ‘me-too’ approaches in an upturn, but not in a downturn. Doing more of the same won’t give you the answer, because that’s what everyone else is doing and you get into a vicious cycle that leads
nowhere different. You are actually likely to need a completely new business model– and even in a downturn you get whole new types of customer demand.”

So a downturn should be a catalyst for a step change, he concludes. “Treat it as an opportunity to sharpen your thinking about where you want to be in the future and how you’re going to get there.”

The last recession, in 2000 to 2001, is within most people’s working memories,
and some of the lessons to emerge from that are salutary. Indeed, some of them were encapsulated in an article entitled ‘Preparing for the next downturn’ in the pring 2007 issue of the McKinsey Quarterly.

Authors Richard Dobbs and Tomas Karakolev, partners, respectively, in McKinsey’s London and Prague offices, along with Rishi Raj, a consultant in the Delhi office, found that while many companies were unprepared for the last recession, those that were prepared emerged stronger from the recession than they were when they went into it.

According to their research 40% of the US’s leading industrial companies toppled from the first quartile in their sectors during the 2000-2001 recession, with one-third of leading US banks suffering the same fate. However, 15% of companies that had not been industry leaders before the recession vaulted into leadership positions during it. The post-recession leaders shared some common characteristics. Entering the downturn they typically maintained lower debt on their balance sheets, controlled operating costs well and diversified their product offerings and geographical spread. This gave them a high degree of strategic flexibility which
came into its own during the recession. “We believe that flexibility can make a notable difference by allowing managers to take advantage of the opportunities that … recession might provide,” write the authors.

Many of the post-recession leaders expanded their businesses during the recession, both organically and
through activities such as mergers and acquisitions (M & A), alliances and joint ventures. But pre-recession they had focused more on organic growth than M & A, giving them the flexibility to be able to buy cheap assets from distress sellers and pay their suppliers faster – possibly in exchange for lower prices and better service.

The more successful companies also focused on reducing costs without damaging the long-term health of the business. They were able to cut selling, general and administration costs – which are notoriously difficult to cut in the short term – by making their overhead costs and operations more flexible before the recession. This allowed them to redeploy their funds, assets and personnel as conditions changed.

The less successful companies cut their research and development and advertising more deeply, which compromised their ability to exploit opportunities that this expenditure might create. What’s more, before the recession their productivity per employee was lower than that of the leaders, so they had to lay off more employees during the downturn – something that may well have damaged their ability to attract and retain talent in the future.

But, notwithstanding the help that strong advertising and marketing can provide in a downturn, companies must ensure that they sustain a relentless focus on their customers during the downturn and not be seduced into what Jean-Claude Larréché, Alfred H Heineken Professor of Marketing at INSEAD, calls ‘compensation strategies’.

Compensation strategies, as Larréché explains in his recent book The Momentum Effect, are strategies – not least marketing strategies – that attempt to compensate for a poor product, service or customer proposition. Companies – especially the larger ones – waste lots of time, money, effort and people on such strategies, which are a proxy for the kind of ‘origination strategies’ that create real momentum growth, he argues.

Origination strategies create breakthrough products and services like the iPod or First Direct which, “because they change people’s lives, virtually sell themselves,” continues Larréché.
But such ‘power offers’ are less the result of marketing and sales, or even “the kind of linear R & D activities that most big organisations do,” but rather “spending more money and time upstream on the kind of teambased exploration and discovery that characterises the best entrepreneurial organisations. Taking people out of their normal environments for a couple of days at a time is very empowering and has an amazing effect on their ability to think creatively,” he says. It’s a judgement that AG Lafley, CEO of Procter & Gamble (P & G), would no doubt agree with. When he took on the role in 2000, there were, he admitted recently, “too many managers on their mobile phones, or buried in spreadsheets – in essence ‘showing the customers their behind’.” It was a culture he quickly set about changing. The customer is now at the centre of P & G’s innovation activity, and Lafley expects his business units to have between 10-30% of their innovation portfolio focused on disruptive innovation. The downturn is unlikely to change that. “Companies need to take the long view,” he concludes.
