I have no doubt about that,” Stuart Le Gassick, deputy chairman of Redhawk Capital Partners, and one of the founders of AAIM, told Reuters. If he wasn’t in football, he would be the CEO of a major company. In the same year, AAIM turned its attention to eastern Europe, taking stakes in malls, hotels, offices and warehouse property in emerging economies like Poland and Hungary and turning Ferguson into a fully fledged international property speculator.Įxactly how much the Glaswegian made from those deals remains a closely guarded secret, known only to members of Ferguson’s inner circle and the syndicate members, who praised his boundless talent for business. Several other multi-million pound UK deals followed hot on the heels of the Gracechurch transaction, including a 35 million pounds mixed office and warehouse scheme on the outskirts of London and a 43 million pounds purchase of a retail outlet in Gateshead in the northeast of England.įerguson and his fellow syndicate members decided to cash in their chips on Gracechurch Street in early 2005, taking a 12 million pound profit after less than two years of ownership. Banks were falling over themselves to lend on property, and prices were soaring, pushing investment yields on London City offices, or rents expressed a percentage of a property’s value, as low as 4.5 percent by the eve of the credit crunch in mid-2007. In press releases published by the syndicate manager at the time, Ferguson was quoted as saying: “This is my first step into real estate, and I am quite bullish about it.” The City of London property market had begun to shake off the effects of the dot-com crash in 2003 when Ferguson made his debut in the sector, purchasing a seven-storey office building at 70 Gracechurch Street in a 150 million pound syndicated deal set up by now-defunct fund firm Active Asset Investment Management (AAIM). Instead, they see him channeling his famous energy and ambition into a string of “hobbies” with serious money-making potential, including horseracing, film financing and real estate investment, where he has already notched up some big wins. The most celebrated manager in the British national game will bid farewell to a stellar career in sport on May 19, but few who know Ferguson outside the world of soccer are predicting an idle retirement for the 71-year-old Scotsman. LONDON (Reuters) - Retiring as coach of English soccer team Manchester United will give Sir Alex Ferguson, who famously described himself as “such a bloody talented guy”, more time for the other strings in his bow, including a little-known talent for investment. ![]() ![]() ![]() Please don't do anything stupid that forces me to add a long and boring disclaimer here.

We recommend first-timers rent a board through one of the many local surf shops, and there are surf lessons available that include use of the board. If you have your own board, you’re all set, but most first-timers need to buy, borrow or rent a board. The Atlantic Ocean provides the latter, but the former can be a bit trickier. * What You’ll Need: Another beauty of surfing is that you really only need two things to do it - a board and a wave. Most people struggle at first and learn by trial and error. Position yourself ahead of the breakers and attempt to paddle into the sweet spot, timing your stand with the beginning of the wave barrel. ![]() Once you've mastered the move, paddle out past the breakers and get comfortable on the board before you try to catch your first wave. Left-handed/footed individuals, or “goofy-footers,” typically use the opposite stance. Most right-handed/footed folks place their right foot in back for stability and steering and their left foot forward for balance. Practice popping up to the standing position in one fluid motion, with one foot forward and the other foot back. Place your board on the sand and assume the down push-up position atop it. ![]() Experts recommend spending time practicing your moves on dry land before you ever set foot in the water. Even if your day is spent falling off your board, you’ll get a good workout and have a nice time playing in the waves. * Learning to Surf: Surfing is a sport you can enjoy even when you are just learning how to do it. Surfers are generally eager to share their love of the sport with newbies and are often helpful in getting them started. Other zones in the city limits include the area around Springmaid Pier, from 62nd to 68th Avenue North, and from 87th Avenue North to north city limits. Known by locals as a surfing hot spot, this span is open for surfing during prime hours (from 10 a.m. Guests at The Caribbean are fortunate to be a few blocks from some of the most popular surf zones in town, including the nearby Golden Mile (from 34th Avenue North to 47th Avenue North). ![]() * Surf Zones: As a safety precaution to avoid potential run-ins between surfers and swimmers, the City of Myrtle Beach has established surf zones, or stretches of beach where surfing is permitted. For guests at The Caribbean Resort & Villas who want to learn how to surf, and for those who have already been bitten by the surf bug, here are a few things you need to know to navigate the local waters: After the first time you pop out of the water and up on the board, you may spend the rest of the day trying to recapture that feeling. There's something about standing atop a board and riding on the water that hooks new surfers. Depending on the wind, tide and wave action, Myrtle Beach offers excellent surf conditions, a safe, sandy bottom, and lots of locations to hang 10. The Grand Strand, the 60-mile stretch of Carolina coastline that surrounds Myrtle Beach, isn't famous for the monster waves of the Outer Banks, which makes it the perfect place for newbies to learn how to surf. We're talking, of course, about riding the waves of the Atlantic Ocean via the popular pastime of surfing. Myrtle Beach locals and longtime visitors know the best amusement ride in town is free, and one takes off every 10 seconds or so.

Increasingly, the attitudes, stereotypes and prejudices which govern literary activity and international relations are perceived in their full importance their nature as textual (frequently literary) constructs is more clearly apprehended and the necessity for a textual and historical analysis of their typology, their discursive expression and dissemination, is being recognized by historians and literary scholars. In recent years, the shape both of literary studies and of international relations (in the political as well as the cultural sphere) has taken a turn which makes imagology more topical and urgent than before. Imagology, the study of cross-national perceptions and imagesĪs expressed in literary discourse, has for many decades been one of the more challenging and promising branches of Comparative Literature. The book is of interest to comparatists, to practitioners of cultural studies and cultural history, to scholars in the fields of ethnic and inter-cultural German studies and especially to Anglicists and AmericanistsĪmsterdam Studies on Cultural Identity 17 Serie editors It analyzes such national images as the hetero-stereotypes of Germans and Austrians in North American texts, and illuminates the depiction of the English abroad, as well as that of the Scots, the Jews and Italians in American literature. The collection of essays, many of which are appearing in English for the first time, examines such phenomena as the mutual perception and misperception of Europeans and (North) Americans and the role of the theory of climate as a justification for stereotyped representations. The book traces the emergence of national and ethnic stereotypes in the early modern age and studies their evolution and multiple functions in a wide range of texts from travelogues and diaries to novels, plays and poetry, produced between the 16th and 20th centuries.

Pixlr is predominantly a graphics editing program more than a dedicated “meme generator.” The site has everything you need to create original memes or tweak existing templates, however. Also, unlike some sites and apps, Meme Generator will not tackily watermark your handiwork. And while virtually all memes use the Impact font, Meme Generator has multiple typefaces to choose from just in case. Folks can also upload photos from their library to take the litany of subreddits by storm. The app has a library of more than 500 memes with example templates to start the creative process and familiarize yourself with the latest craze. Meme Generator ( Android/ iOS) allows you to create memes and easily share them with your friends and followers. While some memes have withstood the test of time better than others, the shelf-life of the average meme is rather brief, and capitalizing on that ephemeral moment is key. There are plenty of websites dedicated to making memes, but mobile generating platforms are often clunky and frustrating. That said, the Meme Generator app is one of the best free options for making memes on the fly. The site KnowYourMeme has an exhaustive database filled with oddly extensive meme origins story for each, and even uses Google Trends to track meme metrics. While Imgur is an excellent generator service, there are plenty of helpful resources to keep your memes fresh. Once the image is set, a basic set of boxes on the right control the overlaid text, and these meme textboxes are easily resized and repositioned.

"The research of individual chronobiological and chronopsychological differences is predominantly focused on the morning and evening chronotypes," explains human physiology researcher Dmitry S.
