Author bio:
ABOUT THE AUTHOR... Currently based on the Gold Coast in Australia, I'm a co-author of some other publications about Australia and easiest ways to move to a new country. This has been my passion and specialty since 1995 when I first experienced a long-term move to a completely unknown country. After growing up and living in different European countries in my youth, I studied in various countries and learned about new cultures, different to mine, in Canada, New Zealand, Fiji and Australia. I'm continuously involved in further research to offer the best possible advice to everyone thinking about making this important step of transition. I love helping newcomers overcome their first uncomfortable moments, fears and doubts to ensure they tap into their full potential as human beings, employees as well as members of their family and social circles. Personal satisfaction generally leads to appreciation of a new country while remembering initial reasons for decision to move, I find it enormously gratifying when I see my clients enjoying a new life they created for themselves and giving their children opportunity to experience a different cultural environment for any periods of time. As you noticed, I prefer to use word 'newcomer' instead of 'migrant', not only because of slightly negative tone it may have for some readers, but also due to the fact that once you settle, you shouldn't really feel like migrant anymore. And this is what I want you to achieve - feel at ease and safe in your new country. During the years of working with at least 200 newcomers every year, I can confirm that the two most important things to carry with you at all times are: positive outlook and 'can do' attitude. Easier said than done, but our thinking is the only thing we have a power over. I can guarantee that once you really try it for the first time, it's going to be extremely easy and possibly the most satisfying thing you ever learned. All the best to all readers!

Author bio:
I was born in 1986, in Donetsk, Ukraine. In 2001 graduated from Donetsk Polytechnic College as a building technician. The same year became a third-year student of Donbass National Academy of Construction and Architecture which I graduated from as civil engineer. Within seven years changed five different jobs; worked as general laborer with working party in the Academy, real estate agent, road construction expert, geodesist in Donetsk General Plan Bureau and Structures Inspection Engineer in a design institute. Simultaneously mastered trading basics attending numerous seminars and having taken distant "Forex Club" course in Moscow International Academy of Foreign Exchange Trading. I am currently a trader with four-year trading experience. Apart from higher education in construction engineering I got extended education in financial market analysis and assets management. My job implies mainly investor fund trust management. This is the way I earn my living. I also wrote a book called Foreign Exchange Trading: The golden Rules basing on my personal hands-on experience. It contains valuable recommendations which can help beginning traders improve their trading results. ======================= На русском / In russian ======================= Родился в г.Донецк Украина в 1986 году. Окончил Донецкий политехнический техникум в 2001 году, получив специальность техник-строитель. После техникума, в том же 2001г., поступил сразу на 3 курс, в Строительную академию ДонНАСА (Донбасская Национальная Академия Строительства и Архитектуры). Окончив академию, получил специальность инженера-строителя.

Параллельно всем этим официальным работам, самостоятельно осваивал профессию трейдер посещая огромное количество семинаров, закончив дополнительные дистанционные курсы в Международной академии биржевой торговли «Форекс Клуб», г. Москва. В данный момент я работаю трейдером, мой опыт работы на финансовых рынках 4 года. Образование высшее инженер-строитель + дополнительное "Анализ финансовых рынков и торговля финансовыми активами". Работа моя, заключается в управлении средствами инвесторов (Доверительное управление). Зарабатываю этим себе на жизнь. На основе полученного практического опыта торговли на бирже мной написана книга "Золотые правила победы на бирже". В ней собраны лучшие правила и советы способные помочь начинающим и практикующим трейдерам улучшить свои результаты работы.

Родился 1 апреля 1953 года в городе Коростень Житомирской области на Украине. Сознательные детские и школьные годы провёл в городе Луцке. С восьми лет активно занимался техническим творчеством. Был призёром всесоюзных соревнований по автомодельному спорту. В юношеские годы серьёзно занимался автомобильными и мотоциклетными гонками. А в 1970 году поступил в Киевский автомобильно-дорожный институт (КАДИ). Став студентом, продолжил активное занятие спортом и в 1971 году ему было присвоено почётное звание мастера спорта СССР. В 1975 году после защиты диплома инженера-механика на "отлично" был направлен на работу в город Набережные Челны на Камский автомобильный завод большегрузных автомобилей (КАМАЗ), в качестве инженера-испытателя новых моделей автомобилей.

The Culture Shock Tool Kit by M. G. Silver The Culture Shock Tool Kit by M. G. Silver Nov. 05, 2009 $12.50 0 words
Author bio:
I was born in Moscow, USSR into a Soviet Jewish family. As most Soviet Jews in those days, I grew up afraid to speak my last name for fear of being recognized a Jew, the most despised minority in the country. Kindergartens and schools didn’t discourage anti-Semitic remarks from both students and teachers and so Jewish children had to fend for themselves. The answer was to remain as invisible as one could possibly master. Invisibility was the norm among the adults as well. My parents, their parents, their friends, uncles and cousins were nearly all engineers -- a profession that was dull, harmless and, most importantly for the Soviet government, safe enough to entrust to Jews. So for the lack of better opportunities, I also began to study engineering. When the changes of perestroika and glastnost swept through the Soviet Union and Jewish emigration rules were relaxed, I convinced my family to leave. After much discussion we left Moscow on October 19, 1989 – stripped of our Soviet citizenship, with six suitcases, and $180 to our names. Our departure proceeded the fall of the Berlin Wall only by three weeks. Since my arrival I completed my education in the field that was as far from engineering as I could get. I’ve taken advantage of my freedom and I have worked and lived all over the world. And I finally took off my “invisibility” cloak and I decided to write about my experiences. In addition to the stories you see here, I was published as a contributor to Illuminations (www.Illuminationsbook.com) alongside such contributors as Julia Cameron, Marianne Williamson, Desmond Tutu, and others.
