I want to share with you an article written by a fellow Life Coach M. J. Ryan on Gratitude. There are some awesome questions to ponder today and write down in your "Success Journal."

Does your happiness depend on your circumstances—or your attitude? I’ve asked myself that question so many times that I could relate when Kate, a woman in her mid-40s who was talking to me for the first time, couldn’t figure out why she wasn’t happy. “I’ve got a great guy, I’ve just gotten engaged, and I am still not happy,” she said. “What’s wrong?” I suggested that she would feel much better if she developed an attitude of gratitude, the ability to focus on what’s good and right in life.

Try it yourself.
First, on a scale of one to ten, with one being blah and ten being the best you ever felt, give yourself a number. Next, write down or think about the things you’re grateful for. Now rate yourself again. Did your number go up, even a little?

At every moment (and particularly during the holidays), you have a choice to look at what’s right or wrong with yourself and your life. Gratitude is like a flashlight, shining on what’s good. When you turn it on, you feel happier, no matter what else is going on.

I learned this most powerfully when I sat beside my father in the hospital as he lay dying. He had suffered for years with emphysema, hooked up to an oxygen tank. Now bedridden, his six-foot-two frame weighed only 130 pounds. Every breath was a struggle. I asked him whether his life was still worth living. “I like to read the comics in the newspaper,” he replied. “I like to watch the ball game on TV. My life is good.”

Science is now confirming the power of my father’s good attitude. Studies show that being grateful increases happiness by 25 percent and boosts the amount of time people spend exercising (a terrific bonus for those of us who struggle to get to the gym). Being positive even seems to create greater equality in dividing up chores between partners.

I explained all this to Kate, who agreed to start paying attention on a daily basis to what she appreciated about her life. Sure enough, she got happier. I heard from her recently after a gap of about two years, and she was still smiling.

The great thing about the gratitude flashlight: It works no matter who you are—young or old, fat or thin, rich or poor, sick or well. All you need to do is turn it on.

6 ways to do gratitude

1. At dinnertime, take a moment to say one thing you are thankful for. Be specific.
2. Remember why you love your spouse, kids, and friends when they’re annoying or frustrating you.
3. Don’t compare other people’s lives with yours. When you’re envious, ask yourself, “How can I create more in me of what I see in them?”
4. Give thanks for your body. What can you appreciate about it right now?
5. Look for the hidden blessings in challenges. How have you grown?
6. Practice daily. Keep a gratitude journal and e-mail it to a gratitude partner, someone with whom you want to share positive thoughts.

Bentornati a Top Of The Mascalzone! Oggi oltre al classico Pillole dal Passato vi voglio presentare ben 3 nuove canzoni!

La prima è di Anastacia, si intitola I Can Feel You e segna il suo ritorno sulle scene musicali! La canzone è molto allegra ed energetica e farà parte del suo nuovo album Heavy Rotation, in uscita nei negozi di musica il 24 ottobre!!! Il video è semplice, molto low cost, ma nella sua semplicità è carino! La diva dello Sprok è tornata! Io sicuramente comprerò il suo disco quando uscirà!Voi?

Voto:8

Adesso passiamo ad un’altra grande artista: Pink. Infatti in questi giorni è uscito il suo nuovo singolo So What, il cui video, tra MTV e All Music, sta letteralmente infuocando i nostri televisori!!! Il video infatti è molto simpatico e divertente, come d’altronde sono sempre tutti i video di pink. La canzone molto orecchiabile ed energetica e anch’essa è il primo singolo di un nuovo album: Funhouse. K e ne pensate?

Voto:8

Adesso l’ultima nuova canzone. Si tratta di Next Plane Home di Daniel Powter. Per chi non se lo ricordasse si tratta di quel cantante che ebbe un enorme successo con Bad Day qualche anno fa. Next Plane Home è una canzone allegra e molto melodica. Il video è molto semplice; unica nota positiva del video è che verso la fine si può vedere la figlia di Daniel.

Voto:6/7

Pillole dal Passato

Dal vostro blogghista MascalzoneSimpa

hey there, this post is about being lost and found, i have been lost for a long time, you know, when you start to ask yourself , why i am here, why do i exsist , and you feel that nothing gives this answer , nothing satisfies , and your life turn to hell by then : ) , well that is what was happening to me , i search for something that gives me a meaning, but i have done so many things but  i didn't feel satisfied, the only answer that gives a meaning to my existence was God, i figured it out, God created man so that he lives in his presence and enjoy it, i tried to reach God in so many ways, but didn't work, because i was wrong, i didn't hear God's knock on my door, and when i heared it i ignored it and said to myself  no , this is not going to get me closer to God, that brought me down more and more, then finally when i surrendered to God, and decided that i leave myself to him , i told him , do whatever you want to me, i will believe you , it's in your hands now , because my was didn't work ,and i am out of them, when i reached that decision or that fact, then when God knocked i opened and he entered my life, and told me so many things, and no my life has changed 180 degrees , i am enjoying it now, in the bad and good times as well : )

so i would like to share this experience with you, because you maybe in the same situation , or you may need God as much as i do : )

-------------------------

it's not enough, the life i own
it isn't tough,but i am far away from home

much is given to me, nothing's pure to satisfy
what can't i see, what's missed by my eye

i tried everythin , from the black to the white
even enjoyed my sin, and losing my sight
traveled through the world in my mind
searched for satisfaction i can't find
& didn't know , what should be left behind
writing my fears through every night
spending hours thinking of what can give me the might
but even my teares weren't that bright

tried to reach God , but it never worked
he was the only one who ever supported

as my ways failed,as life stood still
as my world braked,as days got ill
as my words shacked, as truth to fill

Jesus showed me the way , i'm the truth and the light
revealed himself that day, i'm your father , your christ
surrender to me, and i will give you my light
believe when i say , i'm your lord your christ

i will touch you ,i'll heal all your pain
i will forgive you, no longer you will be the same

accept me , accept my presence in you
love me, & i'll show you what to do

I'm your savior , the one you were looking for
it's a shame ,you nevered heared my knock on your door
but you finaly opened, no longer you will be the same as before
you were drowning in a sea, it's the time to take you to the shore

you were right, satisfaction is only through me
only through my light you can really see
trust me, you will enjoy what life is goint to be
in the valley of the shadow of death i'm holding your hand
in the face of sin's temptation , now you will stand

stick to me and i'll give you the heaven on earth
i'm the life and the way, who believes in me will never see the death

you are my son, welcome now home
carved on my hands, welcome your new dawn

Moebius

Tonspuren (Sky 1983)

http://www.mediafire.com/?y0yg0zyi07g

My childhood was spent blocks from the Market-Frankford El. For those unfamiliar with the mass transit particulars of Philadelphia, it is an elevated train that forms part of our subway system. Late at night, the train would roar past my childhood home every ten minutes and I quickly became used to the whoosh and rattle of its travels. In fact, its reliable arrival soon became a soothing lullaby that ushered me away from the insomnia that plagued me as a child. There was something repetitive and soothing about the El that made feel at home in the way that the sound of silence or crickets would reassure one in a rural setting.

Again, I am veering far from the album in question, but Moebius' Tonspuren has always been one of my favorite soundtracks to any locomotive voyages. To be honest, this analogy between Tonspuren and trains is most likely limited to my own neurotic noggin, but the gentle thud and unsettling ambience of the album always reminds me of my unlikely lullaby.

Dieter Mobius was one half of Cluster, who may be one of my favorite bands of all-time. When he worked with Roedelius, the end result was minimal magic that eclipsed most of their krautrock brethren. His solo career was no less successful, but Tonspuren has always been one of the best efforts recorded by either gentleman. There is a definite air of the 80s afoot on this album as it sometimes reminds me of Vangelis filtered through the Cluster songbook. Moebius avoids the schmaltz of Vangelis' work. Vangelis' Blade Runner soundtrack is a classic in his own right, but there is much of his catalogue that makes me wince.

Overall, Tonspuren is an album that sneaks up on you before planting a big wet one on your kisser. I always liked it, but the day when I listened it on an hour-long train voyage was a revelation. Certain albums lend themselves to depths of depression while others enhance moments of aggression, but this one was made for a lackadaisical journey to nowhere in particular. The simple, but hypnotic percussion and achingly 80s synthesizers suck the listener into a beautiful place where nirvana can be found while viewing the rush of scenery from a train's window.

Yeni Gelir Vergisi Kanun Taslağı ile vergi kayıp ve kaçağı ile mücadeleye dönük 4 yeni güvenlik müessesesi devreye sokuluyor. Kurumlar için uygulanan güvenlik müesseseleri de, gelir vergisi sistemine dahil ediliyor.

Edinilen bilgiye göre, Vergi Konseyi, Gelir İdaresi Başkanlığı ve Gelir Politikaları Genel Müdürlüğü uzmanlarınca hazırlanarak, Maliye Bakanlığına sunulan yeni Gelir Vergisi Kanun Taslağı, vergi sistemini yeniden güvenlik sistemleriyle donatıyor.

Taslakta ortalama FAVÖK (faiz amortisman ve vergi öncesi kar) oranları, asgari gayri safi satış hasılatı, gelir ve gider bildirimi ile basit usulde asgari kazanç müesseselerine yer veriliyor.

Kurumlar vergisinde kullanılan ''İkili Kişilerle Yapılan İşlemler, Kontrol Edilen Yabancı Kurum Kazançları, İkili Kişilerden Elde Edilen Gelirler, Emsal Kira Bedeli'' de gelir vergisinin güvenlik müesseseleri arasına alınıyor.

Taslağa göre, vergi güvenlik müesseseleri şu şekilde işleyecek:

ORTALAMA FAVÖK ORANLARI
Girişim kazançlarındaki vergi güvenliği için kullanılacak.
Maliye Bakanlığı, her yıl Ekim ayının sonuna kadar, o yılın ilk 9 aylık dönemi içinde beyan edilmiş ticari kazançlara ve kurum kazançlarına ilişkin yıllık beyanname verilerinden hareket ederek, bölgeler ve iş kolları itibariyle ortalama faiz amortisman ve vergi öncesi kar (FAVÖK) oranlarını tespit ve ilan edecek.

FAVÖK oranı, kendi bölge iş kolunun ortalamasına nazaran yüzde 30'dan daha fazla düşüklük gösteren mükellefler, dilerlerse o yıl içinde beyan ettikleri ticari kazançlarını, ortalama FAVÖK oranlarının ilan edildiği ayı izleyen birinci ayın sonuna kadar verecekleri bir düzeltme beyannamesi vasıtasıyla, bu oranı sağlayacak şekilde düzeltebilecek.

ASGARİ GAYRİ SAFİ SATIŞ HASILATI
Bu yöntem girişim kazançlarında vergi güvenliğinin aracı olacak.
Otel, motel, tatil köyü, pansiyon, bar, pavyon, diskotek, gazino, lokanta, kahvehane, kır bahçesi, plaj, hamam, kuaför salonu, erkek berberi, güzellik salonları, tamirhaneler ve emsali hizmet işletme sahiplerinin ve her nevi taşıma işiyle uğraşanların gösterdikleri gayrisafi hasılat, yoklama yapmaya yetkili olanlarca yıl içinde yapılan fiili tespitler esas alınarak hesaplanacak asgari gayrisafi hasılata göre yüzde 10'dan daha düşük olduğu taktirde, bu şekilde bulunan tutarların tamamı ilgili dönem gayrisafi hasılatı kabul edilecek. Vergi tarhiyatında da bu bedel esas alınacak.

GELİR VE GİDER BİLDİRİMİ
Gelir ve gider bildirimleri ile de harcama fazlası kontrol edilecek.
Bir takvim yılı içindeki harcamaların toplamı, aynı takvim yılına ilişkin olarak beyan edilen safi gelirler ile beyanname verilmesine ya da verilen beyannameye dahil edilmesine gerek bulunmayan gelirlerin net tutarları toplamını yüzde 10 ve daha fazla oranda aşan Türkiye'de yerleşik gerçek kişiler, Gelir İdaresi Başkanlığının veya vergi incelemesine yetkili olanların yazılı talebi üzerine, 1 ay içerisinde söz konusu harcamaların gerçekleştiği takvim yılına ilişkin gelir bildiriminde bulunacak.

Gelir bildirimine, ilgili dönem harcamalarının nev'i ve tutarlarını gösteren bir de gider bildirimi eklenecek. Bu kapsamda yıllık gelir ve gider bildiriminde bulunan gerçek kişilerin ilgili yıla ait gelirleri toplamı ile gider bildirimde yer alan harcamalarının toplamı kıyaslanacak ve yüzde 10'u aşan oranda harcama fazlalığının saptanması durumunda, gider bildirimindeki harcamaların tamamının kaynağını kendisinden açıklaması istenecek.

BASİT USULE ASGARİ KAZANÇ
Oluşturulacak özel komisyonlar, basit usuldeki mükellefler için iş kolları ve bölgeler itibariyle ayrı ayrı ticari kazanç tespitinde bulunacak. Her yıl Maliye Bakanlığı Gelir İdaresi Başkanlığından 2, ilgili meslek odasından da 2 temsilcinin yeralacağı komisyonların belirleyeceği safi kazanç tutarı, 6 aylık asgari ücret toplamından az, yıllık asgari ücretin 4 katından da fazla olamayacak.

The Most Valuable Question as you begin to take action toward the fulfillment of your goals and dreams, you must realize that not every action will be perfect.

Not every action will produce the desired result. Not every action will work.

Making mistakes, getting it almost right, and experimenting to see what happens are all part of the process of eventually getting it right.

Thomas Edison is reported to have tried over 2,000 different experiments that failed before he finally got the light bulb to work. He once told a reporter that, from his perspective, he had never failed at all. Inventing the light bulb was just a 2,000-step process. If you can adopt that attitude, then you can be free to take an action, notice what result you get, and then adjust your next actions based on the feedback you have received.

Ready, Fire, Aim!

Don't be afraid to just jump in and get started moving toward your goals. As long as you pay attention to the feedback you receive, you will make progress. Just getting into the game and firing allows you to correct and refine your aim.

The Most Valuable Question You May Ever Learn

In the 1980s, a multimillionaire businessman taught me a question that radically changed the quality of my life. So what is this magical question that can improve the quality of every relationship you are in, every product you produce, every service you deliver, every meeting you conduct, every class you teach and every transaction you enter into?

Here it is:

"On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate the quality
of our relationship during the last week?"

Here are a number of variations on the same question that have served me well over the years...

"On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate...

· our service?     · my teaching?
· our product?    · this class/seminar/workshop?
· this meeting?    · our date/vacation?
· our performance?    · this meal?
· my coaching/managing?    · this book/recording/show?
· my parenting/babysitting?

Any answer less than a 10 always gets this follow-up question:

"What would it take to make it a 10?"

This is where the *really* valuable information comes from. Knowing that a person is dissatisfied is not enough. Knowing in detail what will satisfy them gives you the information you need to do whatever it takes to create a winning product, service or relationship.

There Are Two Kinds of Feedback

There are two kinds of feedback you might encounter - negative and positive. We tend to prefer the positive - that is, results, money, praise, promotion, raise, awards, happiness, inner-peace, etc. It feels betters. It tells us we are on course and doing the right thing.

We tend not to like negative feedback - lack of results, little or no money, criticism, poor evaluations, complaints, unhappiness, inner conflict, pain, etc.

However, there is as much useful data in negative feedback as there is in positive feedback. It tells us that we are off course, headed in the wrong direction, doing the wrong thing. This is priceless information!

In fact, it's so valuable that one of the most useful projects you could undertake is to change how you respond to negative feedback. I like to refer to negative feedback as information for "improvement opportunities." Here is a place where I can get better.

Ask Yourself for Feedback

In addition to asking others for feedback, you need to ask yourself for feedback, too. More than any other source of feedback, your body will tell you whether or not you are on course or not. When you are relaxed and happy, your body is telling you that you are on track. When you are constantly exhausted, tense, in pain, unhappy and angry, then you are off track.

Take time to listen to what your body is saying to you. Take time to listen to your physical sensations and your feelings. They are sending you important messages. Are you listening?

Remember, Feedback Is Simply Information

You don't have to take it personally. Just welcome it and use it.

We went to Warmwell holiday park, near Weymouth, and stayed in a nice little wooden lodge. We were supposed to have a two bedroom lodge, but luckily we were upgraded to a three bedroom, so I didn't have to sleep in the same room as Harry. When we arrived on Friday, we wandered round before checking in and dumping our stuff in the lodge.

Harry then got changed ready for his skiing lesson at 2 o'clock. It wasn't real skiing, mind, it was a dry slope. Anyway, he had a half an hour lesson, during which he spent a lot of time sitting down after falling over. By the end, his trousers were absolutely soaking wet. Afterwards, we went back so Harry could get changed, then we went to the play park and then went mini bowling in the arcade. The bowling cheated - it only counted two out of most of the shots, even when we knocked over about eight! Next, we went to get a ready meal for tea, then we went to watch a very exciting (read: so boring I wanted to run under a bus) pantomime. About six other people attended. That's how good it was.

On Saturday, we started off by going to the restaurant for breakfast. I had a breakfast bap, that is, a roll with bacon, sausage and egg, and a pot of tea. Afterwards, we drove into Weymouth town centre to buy something for lunch and a book to read. I got Along Came A Spider by James Patterson. After that, we went back to the holiday park and went swimming. There was also a giant chess set there, so I set about teaching Harry the basics. After lunch, I had an hour's skiing session and Harry had another half an hour. Obviously, I didn't fall over as much (*cough*) because I'm so much better! We then went to the roller rink, where I learnt to skate properly. In the evening, we stayed in the lodge to watch X-Factor and You've Been Framed to spare ourselves from the appalling "entertainment". We also watched Mock the Week and Live At the Apollo.

Finally, on Sunday, we packed the stuff into the car, drove up and had breakfast. This time I had pancakes with syrup. Then, we went to play Pirate Golf (Arr!) and to the Sealife Centre. The Sealife was the worst part of the weekend - it's so boring! "Yay, there's a fish! Oh look, what's that? Ah, I know. It's another FISH!" Great fun, I don't think. When we had finished, we piled into the car and drove down to Poole, where we went real bowling. I scored 124, 126 and 133, but only won the first time! For lunch we had All-You-Can-Eat-Oriental-Buffet, which was quite yummy! Then we had to drive home again.

On the way home, we saw a road sign that pointed to Piddlehinton! What a place to live! Over the weekend, we had seen some very random names, including Affpuddle, Puddletown, Briantspuddle (notice a theme?!) and Bloxworth!

So that was our weekend! I had fun! Do you think it sounded fun?

Scott Truitt, FOUNDER of The Gratitude Campaign explains how he started this campaign:

"For the past several years as I've been traveling around the country, I've been approaching Soldiers in airports and thanking them for serving for us. On several occasions I have noticed that it felt a little awkward for both of us. There are several reasons, some of which I am even just now learning as I produce this film and talk to more Service Men & Women and Veterans. But they have always appreciated being thanked, and I have always felt better having expressed my gratitude.

I started to think that it would be nice if civilians had a gesture or sign that they could use to say "thank you" quickly and easily without even having to approach. I did some research and found the sign that we are now using.

Is this limited to the military? Not at all. If you look around you I'm sure that you'll find lots of people who are serving their communities, from local to global. If you appreciate their service, give them a sign. Say "thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Saludos a todos, hoy la cosa va de perros, este post lo dividiré en dos partes, en Que guarros son los dueños (en general) y en ¿se liga más con perro?

Que Guarros son los dueños

Vas caminando por la calle y ¡zas!, bajas la mirada y ..., has pisado una caca de perro y maldices para tus adentros al dueño del canido; ¿a quien no le ha ocurrido esto más de una vez?.

Mientras tuve perro, Napoleón (era un labrador), cada "regalito" que soltaba era rápidamente recogido con una bolsa de plástico y depositado en la basura, pero si me pongo a mirar si lo hacen algunos amos de perro, me encuentro con que aún no son mayoría los que se molestan en recogerlas , quiero pensar que lo hacen para que los peatones no se aburran mientras pasean y para ello depositan esos "obstáculos", ya que, mientras los sortean comprueban la agudeza visual, los reflejos, la paciencia y si son supersticiosos y tienen suerte igual la pisan y les toca la lotería ...,  con lo fácil que es cogerlo con una bolsa de plástico y tirarlo a la basura o llevar al perro a un "descampao", así que si tenéis un animal que sea para lo bueno y lo malo.

¿Se liga más con perro?

El otro día apareció una "noticia" en la tv  "Se liga más con perro", investigando sobre la noticia llegué a mi revista favorita... (Ironía) 20 minutos y en uno de sus blogs, Chapi Escarlata, encuentro la noticia que empieza así:

"Los perros provocan ganas de ligar incluso a los más tímidos, ya que no hay que pensar mucho en un tema de conversación. El perro es el rompehielos ideal", explica la psicóloga Lisa Fischbach, al analizar los resultados de una encuesta realizada por la agencia alemana de búsqueda de parejas por Internet ElitePartner.de.

Eso si no se liga con cualquier tipo de perro sino con las razas que más gusta (obviamente) perros labradores, rottweilers, huskys siberianos,... ya que al ser más llamativos las chicas se fijan más en ellos, o al menos a los más de 4.500 personas que le han realizado el sondeo destacando el 71% de los encuestados encuentran "especialmente atractivos" a los propietarios de las razas nombradas.

Of course, if you're interested to join our tours you can visit HERE for more info.

After our tour, we went down to Changi Village for a midnight supper.  I thought that I could satisfy my nasi lemak craving but... sadly, the food centre is closed for renovation.  So we went opposite to the coffee shop and have a big dim sum feast and ordered lots of food.  Charles suddenly have a craving for chicken feet and we ordered a basket of it.  I didn't know that chicken feet taste so good as I ever got some bad experience with the taste of it.  We spent almost $20 on all the many baskets and plates of dim sum.  Well, the food was not bad.

Oh ya!! Not to forget, when we are eating our supper, there's this huge brown-ish black dog happily came over from nearby and stood beside Charles giving that pitiful look on its face.  I think it is eyeing the chicken bones on our plates from the chicken & mushroom rice and the chicken feet.  So Charles, being a super dog lover gave that dog all the bones to eat.  It looks so cute when its eating the bones.  I guess it must be really delicious and the dog ate up all of it.  The dog continue to give Charles that pitiful look, waiting for more bones.  Charles said to that dog, no more bones for you.  The dog came over to my side and start to give me that pitiful look this time.  Well, I gave him all the bones as well and it ate up all of it.  I felt so much like bringing this dog home but there's a lesh on its neck so I thought that it could belong to someone.

As someone who spent the first 10 years of her life, in the 1980s, with Margaret Thatcher as prime minister and leader of the Conservative party - in fact, I used to see Margaret and her husband Dennis every morning on my way to school - a female presidential candidate did not seem so groundbreaking to me. In that regard, the UK is light years ahead of America.

However, it's a different story when you consider how well a black person would fare in Britain if running for prime minister. Obama has said that his story could only have happened in America - and he is right. The odds of a black prime minister in Britain anytime soon are slim.

There are various suggestions for why Obama's success is more likely to have happened in America than in the UK. Some say that it's a question of numbers. Since black people make up 13% of the American population, in comparison to only 3% of the UK population (pdf), it seems plausible that an African-American has more chance at achieving Obama-like success than a black Briton. However, numbers alone cannot account for such success. African-Americans are still, like black Britons, statistically under-represented in American politics, although they are more involved than any other minority group. Obama is currently the only African-American in the Senate, and only the third to have been popularly elected since Reconstruction. Similarly since 1868 there have only been 121 African-Americans in Congress. However, African-Americans - Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell are two prominent examples - have been able to gain far more political power than black Britons, who only make up 0.77% of all MP's and who have not yet cracked some of the higher echelons of the British political system, noticeably the cabinet which has only had three black ministers, Paul Boateng, Baroness Amos and Baroness Scotland.

Some might also say that African-Americans have also been in the US longer and have had more time to entrench themselves in American life. There is some element of truth to this. However, this ignores the fact that African-Americans have only been able to interact "equally" in America for the past 40 years, which is actually shorter than the length of time in which African-Caribbean immigrants have been in England. More significantly, Obama is essentially a first-generation African-American, so that theory does not apply in his case.

How does a country like America, with such a shameful racist history, manage to produce someone like Obama, while the UK - apparently less segregated, more diverse and racially tolerant - seems unable to? The answer lies in the fluidity and social mobility that is available in the US. The UK is still very much a class-based society in which it is hard for people to transcend the social and economic positions into which they were born.

The meritocratic, classless concept of the American Dream, which gives Americans a very strong notion that anything can be achieved through hard work, regardless of racial, social or economic background, is both symbolically and actually powerful. While America certainly has its share of race-related problems, and while there are many African-Americans for whom the dream is still elusive, it has also given rise to some of the world's most powerful, influential and successful black people, such as Oprah Winfrey, Bob Johnson and now Barack Obama.

Sports and entertainment are channels through which black people have been able to excel in the UK. However, in professions of power such as in the media, politics and finance, black Britons lack influence and visibility. The black British middle class - which I define by its ability to make significant social change - is small and is generally made up of people whose parents were already privileged. This is because social mobility is still limited for black Britons (pdf). British research finds that there is still a significant link between a parent's background class and their child's subsequent class, despite the child's educational achievement. Even when ethnic minorities appear to have moved into a higher social class in the UK, this may simply be to compensate for the downward mobility that migrants tend to experience when they first arrive in the UK. It is also possible that people do not feel that they are able to transcend their background in the same way that Americans do.

I also doubt whether, in the UK, a potential black prime minister could ever been seen as anything more than one who represents black issues. Watching the debate over all-black shortlists earlier this year, it is clear that black MPs are still mostly expected to represent black constituencies. This is a type of pigeonholing that Obama has gone to lengths to avoid, casting himself as an "everyman" who is representative of all Americans. I am not so sure - in a country in which, for example, black people are still uneasy calling themselves "English" and in which some English people insist they can't be - that white people in the UK are able to view a black Briton as being a true representative of their nation.

Although there are black Britons who are making inroads in British politics, such as Streatham MP Chuka Umunna and Ray Lewis, deputy mayor for young people, the UK will need to change as a society if there is to ever be a black person with a good shot at becoming prime minister.

Like this can of drink barely holding to a ceiling grid with a straw. Very clever. And very funny too! You never know when it will fall and who will be the lucky person it will strike. It will surely make his or her day a perfect one, especially because there's still some sticky drink in the can.

Many were standing underneath it, totally unaware of the danger. They all quickly moved away when they saw me snapping a photo of it. Of course no one dared to disarm it. It might have been a booby-trap. Better call in the bomb squad for this one.

I hope the ingenious person who put it up there will be the lucky one who it hits cause he surely deserves it for all his greatness.
