This may sound strange, but years ago when I was applying to college, I began my college admission's essay…wait for it…at the gym! Yes, while hundreds of other students put in hours at the library or glued to the computer chair, I began scribbling my essay (that got me into JMU) on the elliptical machine…with a pen and piece of scrap paper. What can I say; a light bulb hit while I was trucking along on the machine and I went with it. I've also thought of article ideas on long runs, have worked through job stresses by lifting weights and have tackled my way through life's toughest decisions simply by going for a long walk.
While this may sound completely out there to you, I promise I have a point. That is that 99% of the time problems can be solved through exercise. Hear me out. Normally when we're stuck in a rut (whether it be a deadline or a mini life crisis) we tend to shut down and fall apart. That's how I used to handle problems in high school. If I was upset about a guy, an assignment, or a tricky decision, I'd shut down completely. I'd run into my room, slam the door and just sit there with my problems feeling sorry for myself. But let's be serious: that gets us no where. In fact, it's working backwards, and no one wants that.
Instead, next time you find yourself in a tricky situation, or even when you're having one of those "brain farts," go for a swim. Or lace up your running shoes and hit the road, even if you only go a couple miles. It's amazing what our minds can do when we let loose and relax. And that's exactly what exercise does for us. Not only is it beneficial for weight management and healthy hearts, but exercise is a 100% mind-clearing miracle drug. It cures problems thick and thin, whether it's anger from your unreasonable boss or a difficult financial decision you're not sure of. The thing is: exercise gives you all the answers you normally wouldn't think of yourself. Whether it's the change of environment or simply getting your body moving, all I can tell you is that it works. And boy does it work well. So I challenge you to tackle your rut the right way, the healthy way for once, and see how wonderful you'll feel afterwards.
Feel free to share any stories or successes you've had by "running through a rut."

Red hearts adorn the boxer shorts of the two men holding hands in "Gay Love Black & White," a self-portrait of the painter Rafael Perez and his former Eritrean lover. A single red heart balloon lifts them off the ground in childlike ecstasy.
The painting hangs in Perez's studio in gritty South Tel Aviv, the same area experiencing tension between Israeli residents and African squatters from repressive countries including Eritrea. But all is peaceful in Perez's world as depicted in vibrant, large canvases that radiate love – be it hetero, homo or patriotic.

The Israel Tourism Ministry used Perez's images in its successful overseas promotion of Tel Aviv – which has an estimated 20 percent GLBT population — as the hottest new gay tourism destination.
"My art is a reflection of the entire gay community — people in the closet, mature love, gay families, gay political and cultural icons," Perez tells ISRAEL21c in his spacious studio-slash-residence above a mechanic's garage.
The studio isn't open to the public. Though his paintings are exhibited in galleries and ad campaigns in several countries, Perez almost exclusively uses YouTube, Facebook and Flickr to display his works to the masses – with sometimes surprising results.
"Many people write to me after they see my paintings all over the world, even Arabic people in Syria and many other countries. They tell me, 'We see your stuff and now we believe there could be love.'"
Type "gay artist" in Arabic into a Google search, and Perez's paintings pop up first.
Secret kept in diaries
Perez was born in 1965 to a traditional Jerusalem family. His father exposed his three sons to the works of great painters, and his siblings became an industrial designer and a jewelry designer. Rafi didn't pick up a paintbrush until he was 23, though he started drawing in an unusual venue much earlier.
"When I was 15 or 16, I started keeping a diary," he says, flipping through small tattered volumes filled with expressions of feelings kept closeted for a dozen years. The Hebrew writing is hidden behind colorful sketches.
"I was afraid of my homosexuality. So I covered the words with drawings because I didn't want people to see what I wrote," he explains. "This was a very emotional period."
Perez served three years in the artillery corps, pursuing relationships with women until he was 28. At 32, he embraced a fully gay lifestyle. "I really wanted to be successful in my relationships with women, and you can see that in my paintings from that time — I used the body of the female like a landscape."
Professionally, he worked for 15 years as a counselor at a youth shelter and as a preschool sports and arts teacher. During three years in a Beersheva art school, he honed his two styles: naïve and realistic.
"My paintings helped me understand what I was feeling," he says. "People say my artwork is very happy and they don't see my conflict with homosexuality. The truth is, I was happy when working with the children, and that gave me the happiness you can see in my naïve style art."
His works are grouped by series – men and women, men and men, gay families and also spherical paintings portraying Tel Aviv and Jerusalem as multicultural centers of the planet.
"All my paintings deal with realistic stuff from my relationships. When I finish a series I don't return to it. I paint from my psychological autobiographical story and when I'm not in a certain period anymore, why should I paint about it?"
World renown
One of his newest series, characterized by "Gay Love Black & White," celebrates his much-publicized 11-month relationship with an Eritrean refugee. Another imagines Tel Aviv as an Amsterdam-like magnet for nightlife. But more attention today is attracted by the vivid gay family series he started in 2000, inspired by babies born to his heterosexual twin brother and to his ex-girlfriend.
"I became involved with the upbringing and care of the babies, and this prompted me to start painting situations that involve gay families," says Perez. "I was one of the few painters that dealt with this issue at that time."
These paintings, as well as a series from 1999 anticipating a "golden age" of gay life in Israel's second largest city, were ahead of their time and came to symbolize an open and growing trend in Tel Aviv and elsewhere.
Perez was the sole artist chosen for a tourism campaign featuring eight Israelis from the fields of sports and culture, which is splashed across London on billboards and print media. He says this is a primary reason Tel Aviv's Gay Pride Parade has attracted more than 100,000 visitors in the past two years.
He sees this as good business. "Gay tourists invest more than heterosexual tourists, spending a lot at bars and restaurants," Perez says. They also help keep him in business. "Most of my customers invest in art," he says. "I owe my life to the gay community."
Though his mother still harbors hopes of her son getting married one day, Perez epitomizes the strong GLBT flavor Tel Aviv has acquired.
"My agenda is about gay life — that it's okay to be gay, to live your life, to find your love," he says.

Hello Hunters,
There are lots of great cemetery projects ongoing around Canterbury that I thought you'd like to hear about, and after recent events I hope there are more projects like this to come.
I have, therefore, set up a page listing all these projects, which will be updated as more are uncovered or come online.
If you know of any cemetery projects that are not listed, please do drop me a line to let me know and I'll add them in (I am slowly adding the Council search sites).
Some great news, too. Hunting Kiwis is featured in this month's (July) issue of Family Tree Magazine in the UK. Keep your eyes peeled!
I hope you and your family and friends are safe and well after recent events. Stay safe and sane everyone.
Kia kaha.

Space station may move to avoid passing junk
HOUSTON (AP) — The International Space Station may have to move to avoid some space junk.
NASA said debris from an old Russian satellite and a fragment from an Indian rocket could come too close to the station on Thursday. The station would be moved Thursday morning if necessary, NASA said Wednesday.
There are three astronauts living at the orbiting outpost.
Space junk moves so fast that it can puncture the station. Engineers try to give debris a wide berth whenever something comes close. NASA said it didn't know the size of the Russian debris.
The engines of a European cargo ship docked at the station would be used to push it out of the way. A communications glitch prevented the craft from leaving the station earlier this week.

Close to St Ives, Carbis Bay and Lelant and flanking a stunning estuary teaming with wildlife, during the industrial revolution Hayle was one of the most important mining ports in the world. Given World Heritage Status in 2006, you can brush up on its history strolling through sub-tropical gardens edging the mile-long King George's Walk, from Black Bridge at the 'Copperhouse' end of town to the harbour at the 'Foundry' end. Despite its immense heritage, Hayle's star feature is the three miles of golden sands – a mecca for kitesurfers, surfers and wild swimmers – that stretch from the mouth of the estuary all the way to the iconic Godrevy lighthouse and Gwithian. The super stylish Sandy Acres beach lodges offer private hot tubs, luxury interiors and many are dog–friendly.
Stay in coastal luxury and discover the golden sandy beaches of West Cornwall. Gwynndreth is set over 2 floors with 3 beautiful bedrooms and 3 contemporary bathrooms.

I've written about all of the things below in greater detail, but if you're planning a trip to Amsterdam in the near future, these are the condensed top 5 things i would recommend doing! (See all my writing on Amsterdam here.)
1. Albert Cuyp Market. If you want to see a local side of town, this – the oldest street market in the Netherlands – is it. The market is exploding in stalls of things to try – everything from frites stands (mmm!) to lingerie shops. We took a full morning to peruse the selection and mostly ate our way through, devouring a powder-sugar-covered waffle at Wally's Wafels and gorging ourselves on local olives. The prices are unparalleled for such gourmet food! (The market runs Monday – Saturday, 9 am – 5 pm).
2. A Bike Tour. Really, i'm sure any company will do you just fine; Mike's Bikes was great for the youthful, edgy side of Amsterdam (if a little heavy on the information about weed and prostitution for people not looking for that sort of entertainment) but if you want to get the lay of the land hop on a bike and go. It is the local way of getting around, after all!
3. The Van Gogh Museum. While the actual Van Gogh museum was undergoing renovations whilst we were in Amsterdam, the Hermitage Museum displayed the bulk of the collection in a special exhibit. Regardless of their housing, Van Gogh's paintings come alive off the walls and force you to pay attention to their kinetic, vibrant energy. Though this is on the pricier end of Amsterdam museums, it is worth every cent!
4. Dam Square. Though this is certainly the touristy center, there are so many great little shops to peak in (and wonderful people-watching!). As a connoisseur of cheesy souvenirs, i loved shopping in Dam Square Souvenirs which is full of beautiful – if pricey – wooden shoes and other lovely Holland-themed merchandise. The best part, though, is the enormous yellow wooden shoe outside. Free mega-tourist-photo-op!
5. Eat. Anything, really, but especially the bread, cheese, sausage, and frites! The Albert Cuyp Market is definitely the place to eat your way through, but don't let your gastronomical exploits end there. Our favorite restaurant was van Kerkwijk, in Amsterdam Centruum. The menu is recited by the wait staff, who are warm and friendly folk, and it's a selection abrim in quirky combinations (like steak slathered in strawberry sauce and goat cheese – shockingly good!). Another great place was right next to our hotel, the Café Onder de Ooievaar – the cheese and sausage plate made for a sumptuous late-night snack!
Bon voyage!
Highly Honorable Mentions:
The Anne Frank House (it was a wee bit crowded for this claustrophobic, but still very powerful – book tickets online & try to go first thing in the morning, rather than in the afternoon!)
if you like my condensed travel reviews, you'd probably like my tripadvisor profile!
current jam: 'shake it out' florence + the machine.
best thing: magna carterrrrr!

As a health-conscious woman living in NYC, I've seen and heard it all: fad diets, food myths, juice cleanses, fitness crazes, healthy hot spots and more. So as an NYC Health Coach, my mission is to change the way we think about and relate to food, wellness and health.
Are you tired of fad diets, juice cleanses and trendy workouts that come with the promise of fitting into your "skinny jeans"?
Do you have a love/hate relationship with food you wish you could ditch like a two-timing boyfriend?
You've come to the right place to get holistically hot.
As a health coach, I take the guesswork out of healthy eating and inspire women all over the world to ditch the diet mentality, transform their relationship with food and turbocharge their health to become holistically hot in a way that's fun and fearless.
Achieve your ideal weight.
Control your cravings.
Kiss your unhealthy habits goodbye.
Claim unstoppable energy.
No crazy diets or all-juice cleanse required.
Having worked in the corporate world, I know what it feels like to be drained, exhausted, pressed for time and uninspired in the kitchen. Most nights, taking care of myself after a long day full of meetings and deadlines meant collapsing on my sofa with a pint frozen yogurt for dinner then barely mustering the will or energy to pull myself out of bed and do it all over again the next day.
After years spent stuck in the same cycle, rewarding myself with "bad foods" then beating myself up and killing myself in the gym for eating those foods, I discovered how real food could make me look and feel. The cravings disappeared, the energy came back and my weight stabilized. In short, my life completely changed.
As an NYC Health Coach, I guide women through the process of changing their relationship with food, learning how to create healthy habits with a busy schedule and creating lasting wellness in their lives. Rather than dwelling on calories, carbs, fats, proteins, restrictions and lists of good and bad foods, I work with my clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that's flexible, fun and free of denial and discipline.
This web site and my blog, Where I Need to Be, were designed as a resource to offer inspiration, support and guidance on your path to health. You landed here for a reason, so I hope you'll stick around.
To get started, download my Free eMag, How to Be Holistically Hot: A 30-day Guide to Making Men Swoon and Your Friends Want What You Have, It's a first step in accessing the holistic hottie living inside you.
Interested in learning more about how I might be able to support you? Please click here to learn more about my approach and what you can expect from my programs.

Hey ladies!
I have got a very baby themed weekend ahead – and why not, seeing as my maternity leave will start after today and I am just 4 weeks away from my due date!
On Saturday I will be going to The Baby Show in Manchester, which is running from today (31st August) til Sunday 02nd September from 9am – 4.30pm each day. It is at Event City which is new to me, but is right next door to The Trafford Centre so it's very hand for some erm, sneaky shopping at the same time!
You can buy tickets at a discounted rate in advance (£11 each or £17 for two people) or buy on the door (£16.50 per ticket). We also booked in for an antenatal class they are running on the day, so I can't wait! I'll be look out for bargains!
I will write about the day later on and let you know my thoughts!
See info about the event here. The will also be in London (Earls Court) from the 26th – 28th of October!

Struggling to find the best buy-to-let mortgage in York? speak to one of our buy to let mortgage advisers today
The term 'buy to let' generally refers to either the practice of buying a property to be let for profit or to the type of mortgages used to purchase a property for such letting. Many countries, both in the western world and in the developing nations, have seen a surge in the growth of the buy to let property market in the last 2 decades and this has fuelled a growth in amateur landlords and the but to let mortgage providers who are keen to encourage and profit from them in turn. In addition, this growth has generated a lot of commerce in other related sectors such as buy to let insurance.
What Are The Property Growth Areas Of Manchester?
Many countries, both in the western world and in the developing nations, have seen a surge in the growth of the buy to let property market in York the last 2 decades and this has fuelled a growth in amateur landlords looking for quality mortgage advice, this is why mortgage brokers in York who specialise in Buy-to-let are so important and the but to let mortgage providers who are keen to encourage and profit from them in turn. In addition, this growth has generated a lot of commerce in other related sectors such as buy to let insurance.
York Buy to let mortgages have been available in the UK since the mid-nineties and they are specifically designed for investors to borrow money to purchase property in the private rental sector. The amount that a prospective but to let investor can borrow is generally determined by the rental valuation of the property. The annual income for a rented property has to cover a certain percentage of the mortgage repayments, the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) states that landlords should seek to be able to obtain gross rent returns equivalent to between 130 per cent and 150 per cent of the rental property's mortgage repayments, this takes into account the surplus rent to cover costs of property maintenance and slack periods when the property may be vacant of tenants.
York Buy To Let Mortgages.
Some buy to let mortgage lenders in York will lend you a maximum sum based on a multiple of your salary (usually a multiple of three) plus a percentage of the forecast rental income on the property. So if your annual salary is said 30,000 Franks and the forecast rental income is 10,000 Franks they will lend you 95,000 Franks. Other mortgages, in addition to factoring in your salary, will include any existing loan commitments you have, and then apply what is known as the 'deduction rule'. This rule relates to the annual mortgage payments worked out at a pre-set level of interest.
Buy to let mortgage interest rates are generally fairly close to residential mortgage rates but will generally be slightly higher and typically charge higher fees. This is due to the fact that buy to let loans are considered by the financial sector to represent a greater risk than residential owner-occupier mortgages, and they generally are.
The Situation in the UK About Buy To Lets
The buy to let market literally 'exploded' in the York around the beginning of the millennium with rising property prices and the increasing availability of buy to let funding fueling a surge in would-be investors trying to cash in on the trend of the market. One reason for their popularity is the tax advantages that are available to the UK buy to let investors. Rental income is treated just like a salary by the Inland Revenue, and is therefore often taxed at 22% or even 40%. However, landlords are allowed to deduct costs from the taxable portion of their rental income, and these costs can include the interest of the buy to let mortgage repayments as well as maintenance costs on the property. These tax incentives made the buy to let market very attractive for both professional investors and amateurs looking to make the most out of their savings.
Would-Be Buy-to-let Investors
The market peaked around 2007 and now the market is saturated in many areas across the country with too many properties available to tenants. While buy to let is generally not a good idea for people who do not possess some extra budget there are a lot of remortgage deals which will fund a deposit for a home. If you are worried about losing money during void periods many companies will provide insurance which can deliver as much as six months mortgage payments in the event of a property in York remaining unoccupied.
You may still be lucky, and find a hotspot but you need to do your homework and the figures correctly. Buy to let trends differ from town to town and literally from street to street. Good advice for potential investors is to visit the local letting agents who should be able to tell you who is renting what at the moment so you can define your target audience. It could be students, young professionals or families, for example. Look for areas that do have a shortage of properties and for indicators that people will move there, such as new business developments.
Buy to let mortgage deals are still rife and the rates are almost as competitive as with conventional deals. The mantra with your buy-to-let must be 'don't expect to get rich quickly'. You need to look long-term: an absolute minimum of five years – but probably nearer to ten years.
If you're looking at buying an investmentproperty to help supplement your pension in the future should you be looking for a propertyor real estate investing mentor? It's an interesting question and I'llgive you my thoughts right after this Hi I'm Andy from monoperty.
Com and on thischannel I share the lessons I have learned as a property investor and landlord and Ialso interview other investors so we can learn from their advice too so if you're new hereconsider subscribing for more videos like this And so if you're a beginner looking to investwhilst you're in full time employment to help supplement your pension in the future I wouldn'tworry about finding a mentor.
What!?! Hear me out There are people who charge thousands or tensof thousands for mentorship programs.
Now I know if you want to go big having amentor can accelerate your progress and help you avoid the pitfalls but I think that'ssomething to think about once your involved and you've got a taste for it and you enjoyit and you want to take it to the next level.
Also I believe there is added value if youhave some experience before seeking a mentorship because you'll have some knowledge that youcan base your questions on and you won't be spending your money on just learning thebasics which you can get for free online or from books.
Of the 2 million landlords in the UK the majorityof them are what's known as accidental landlords.
It's how I started out.
These people find themselves in a situationwhere they are unable to sell a property for various reasons due to an inheritance, movingjobs, or they let their property because they are living away from home for long periodsof time with their work.
Rather than selling they look to let theirproperty through a managing agent so it's one less thing for them to worry about.
And the majority of people do well from thiswith very little effort, their running costs and overheads are covered each month and astime passes they gain some capital growth.
I know this because as an accidental landlordmyself I've been there.
If you are actively looking to invest, youare going to have a better start than the accidental landlords, who are already doingwell, because you have taken the time to learn.
The accidental landlords are making the bestout of what they already have, whereby you, the active investor, will be seeking a certaintype of property in a specific area that is in demand.
Buying your first buy to let can be done withoutany guidance at all, and you will find that you'll receive some direction from the estateagent, mortgage broker and solicitor during the process anyway.
You already have enough to do on your to dolist; find a deposit, find a mortgage broker, research an area, conduct viewings, crunchthe numbers and find a managing agent ……, so if finding a mentor is on that list, you canscratch it off and have one less thing to do.
Don't over think it and make it more difficultfor yourself.
I did very little research on my first buyto let, I listened to what the estate agent told me, the mortgage lender was happy tolend to me once they had done their valuation and it worked out well.
Now could I have increased my return on investmentif I had known and done more at the time, well of course I could BUT, at least I madea start.
There is a danger of over thinking the processwhich will delay you from buying your first investment property.
Don't spend too much time thinking aboutgetting the biggest returns, property investing is NOT a get rich quick scheme.
It's a long term game, but you have to makea start! Making a start now on a property that producesa positive net cashflow each month, is better than waiting months or years for a propertythat produces a slightly higher net cashflow.
We all know the best way to learn is by doing.
So if you're in a position to buy, get started! Now let me tell you, the fact that you arewatching this video, and if you've seen my Getting Started Playlist which I will linkin the description and throw a card up on the screen just in case you haven't, you willalready be way ahead of other people who are considering investing, and those falling intoinvesting as an accidental landlord, in terms of preparation and finding a good propertythat's in demand on the rental market.
So don't think you need to find yourselfa mentor.
When starting out, spend your money on aninvestment property, NOT a mentor.
You've got this! You can do it! This weeks question comes from Michael Collinson:""Well done with the new look I like it" Thank you very much Michael.
"What video editing software do you use? I've just started using Power Director 14.
Do you use a green screen to get yourselfshowing in front of the background? I use a Mac and the first video editing software thatI used was iMovie the first 25 or so videos I released were edited on iMovie I then decidedto upgrade to Final Cut Pro (or FCPX) Final Cut Pro 10 and I love it it's brilliantthere is so much more you can do with that compared to iMovie and I'm learning allthe time everytime I create a video I try and learn something new try and add somethingso we will see how that goes.
Yes I use a green screen and this is somethingelse I'm learning all the time you have to get the lights right the camera settingsright it can be a pain at times but I wanted to use it because I don't have a plain wallin my house every walls got a picture, a photo, a mirror, or a clock on it and I didn't wantanything in the background that would distract the viewer so that's the main reason forusing green screen but it's also good because I can throw up graphics or other bits of informationwhile I'm still doing the talking head stuff in the hope that it will just add to the videoexperience so yep that's why.
I buy all my equipment on Amazon because Ifind their prices are very competitive and their Prime service for next day deliveryis fantastic.
I have upgraded some kit over time I'vegot a new camera stand a new green screen some other bits and pieces and I'll linkto everything I've purchased and would recommend down in the description so that you can checkit out for yourself.
Thanks for your question Michael and keepup the great work on your channel I'll link to it down in the description so that otherpeople can visit it and if you have a question that you would like me to answer you can askme in the comment section below or send me a message on my social media platforms orthrough my blog.
Please like and share this video if you foundit useful and if it's your first time here definitely subscribe so you won't miss anyof my future videos which will all be geared towards helping you start or improve yourproperty business.

What Is A Corporate Buy To Let?
How do you really start a buy to let propertyinvestment business in today's market? Let me give you the ten things I think you needto consider.
Hi there, my name's Tony Law from your Your First Four Houses.
My channel'sall about helping you get to investment property number four as quickly and as painlessly aspossible.
Let me give you these ten things, I feel, you need to have at the forefrontof your mind in order to be successful in this property investing world of ours.
Thevery first one is to, you need to understand your financial goals.
Let me give you a specificway you should do this.
You basically need to understand how much money you're spendingevery single month.
Download three months worth of bank statements,work out what you're actually spending every single month, and that is the target thatyou need to hit, essentially, to be financially free.
The sooner you hit that target, thesooner you can basically give up the day job, essentially, and focus far, far more of yourenergy on building your property portfolio.
When you know what that number actually is.
Now I run a paperless office, largely, but when you know what that number is I needyou to do something vert manual for me.
I need you to go and draw up one of these, it'seffectively the kind of thing that you'd see if you were trying to raise finance for aparticular project.
At the top of it, you're going to have thattarget, that number that you've just worked out.
Running up the side, you're going tohave integers at about, say, 500 pounds, little marks going up the side.
Whenever you do adeal that puts money in your pocket you need to colour that in.
It may sound primitivebut it's incredibly powerful.
I've recommended this to a lot of people that use it and theyfind it really, really helps them keep focused.
Moving on quickly to point number two, youneed to work out how much time you can give to this.
Really, if you're working full-time,that doesn't mean that you haven't got time to do this.
You've got your lunch times, you'vegot your evenings, and you've usually got your weekends.
How much time can you give to this? The moretime you can give, the better and faster results you're going to achieve.
Next number three,I need you to start building your education.
Now, there's a number of ways that you cando this.
You can look at podcasts, you can get books, webinars, you can employ a coach,mentor, you can look at some courses.
The sooner that you can build your knowledge,the sooner you're going to better achieve bigger and better deals.
One of the specificthings I'd like you to consider if maybe this is an area of weakness for you, is to maybeget some training on negotiation because this is a real key thing that will really helpyou when you're speaking to agents or when you're speaking specifically to seller.
Pleaselook into that.
Number four, the sooner that you can focuson picking your strategy, the sooner you're going to be successful.
Now, I like peopleto focus on maybe one or two core strategies.
Rather than having more of a shotgun approach,it's better to be more laser focused.
See if you can work out which one or two corestrategies would work really well for you and start focusing on those.
Number five,research the different areas and work out where you should be actually buying.
Now,I did a video recently on this that basically gives you a really detailed explanation onhow to work out supply and demand in any area within about 60 seconds.
You need to lookat other things.
In the area that you're actually looking at,what's the situation with regards to perhaps new employment? What about transport links?Are they being improved, specifically? What about population? Is there an increase ordecline that you've noticed? All of these things can really dictate the better areasto actually invest.
Point number six, go and see a mortgage broker.
You need to find outwhat kind of mortgages you can get.
Again, I did another video here on how to actuallyimprove your credit rating.
I would strongly suggest that you watch that.
That will giveyou some real key tips to improve your credit rating, which is going to mean you'll getbetter access to better mortgages at lower rates.
Number seven, you need to learn how to findgreat deals.
Now, I know that this is a massive topic and we can go into this in a lot moredetail.
Essentially, you do need to understand how to find better deals.
You need to learn,very specifically, what makes a good deal for you.
Honestly, this is a real key thing.
You may have no funds at all but if you can find and negotiate really good deals, honestly,you'll never have problem raising the funds.
I'll invest with you if you can find reallygood deals.
In essence, there's lots of people around you that will be delighted to put moneyinto the deals if you can find them.
Next, start building connexions.
When I say that,I'm talking about connexions with agents.
I'm talking about connexions with deal sources.
I'm talking about connexions with people who can help you fund your next deal.
The sooner you start building genuine, sincere,honest, full-on relationships, friendships with people, honestly, the sooner you're goingto actually be successful in this property world of ours.
Number nine is simply exitstrategy.
So many people I talk to have no clear exit strategy.
They don't really understandtheir exit strategy at all.
I always encourage people to consider two exit strategies.
Iwould love you to do the same.
Even before you buy that very first property, just consider,are you holding this for the long term? Is this a flip that you want to churn to getthe money out very, very quickly? If things don't work out, is there a second way outfor you? Number ten, this is the big one.
This is whereso many people stumble and that is, you have to take action.
Now I know that seems bleedinglyobvious but so many people, they build their knowledge, they learn, learn, learn, but theystop at the action taking point.
Frankly, I don't really understand this if I'm beingtruthful with you.
I think it's largely down to fear quite often.
Quite often, perhaps,having somebody behind you that's maybe got their hand in the small of your back and justpushing you forwards or just giving you a bit of a shove to actually take that actionmight be really beneficial for you.
Let me ask you a question.
How many properties haveyou actually been out to see this week or this month? If they answer is none, then you're not takingany action, I would respectfully suggest.
You need to take that action.
I really hopethat you found that helpful.
I just want people to be successful in this property world ofours and to get to that magical place where the income that's coming in surpasses themoney that's going out.
If this sort of stuff really helps you, I am absolutely over themoon.
My name is Tony Law from Your First Four Houses.
I really hope you found thisone helpful.
I look forward to seeing you in the next video.
Before I go, please ifyou can take a moment to subscribe to my YouTube channel, if you haven't already done so.
Thatwould be absolutely brilliant.
If Facebook's more of your kind of thing, please like myFacebook page.
Thanks ever so much.
I look forward to seeing you in the next video.

All of us have dishes we have always loved. And then there are flavors that we learn how to love, later in life. Finally, those that we appreciate because they remind us of when we were young, and/or in love.
As an Italian teenager in the Eighties, trying to fit in (shoulder pads and all), I had a hard time getting used to the new food trends that we were importing from the US, such as burgers and club sandwiches. I would have traded any Panini for a bowl of my nonna's ribollita soup! As to the other culinary movement that was going on – namely, the spread of Nouvelle Cuisine from France to Northern Italy – I was too young and poor to experience it!
I did hear about it, of course. I was aware of its most cultured and creative representative, Gualtiero Marchesi, and of all the copycats who tried to get on board by simply sticking kiwi, vodka and arugola into everything. But all my student budget allowed me to eat out was lots of arugola pizza!
The surprises of the new cuisine were mostly reserved to the Yuppies, the young and flashy finance or law professionals who loved to impress their peers with gold Rolexes, fast cars, and dinners in exclusive restaurants with outrageous prices. The others (who couldn't afford such extravagances) made fun of them, laughing at the idea of such adventurous and un-Italian flavor combinations.
That's how my friends and I, having to make do with pizza or the occasional panini, totally missed on the strawberry risotto craze. At home, our moms were too traditional to venture beyond mushroom or saffron!
Finally last month, to celebrate my 44th birthday and upcoming middle age, I decided to experiment with a few recipes from that era. If my teenage years have officially made it into history books, I should at least give them the respect they deserve!
I must confess that this was not my first choice. At first I really wanted to try my hand at the symbol of Italian Nouvelle Cuisine, Gualtiero Marchesi's signature Risotto with Saffron and gold leaves. However, I wasn't sure how my husband might react if he saw me pop my wedding band into the microwave, and on second thought I went for this more sensible option.
Some of you might worry that strawberries could make this risotto too sweet; on the contrary, the end result is slightly tart and very fresh, perfect for summer and incredibly fragrant – not to mention the pretty color!
- 1 and 2/3 cups Italian rice, preferably Vialone Nano type
- 1 to 2 quarts hot vegetable broth (prepared without tomato)
- about ½ stick butter
- ½ onion, very finely chopped
- ½ cup prosecco, champagne or dry white wine
- 8 medium strawberries (fewer if large)
- salt to taste
- pink or white pepper to taste
- 1 cup freshly grated parmigiano cheese (or more to taste)
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, if liked
(to prepare a vegetable broth, simmer a carrot, an onion and a stick of celery in salted water for about 30 minutes and season with salt); or you can use packaged vegetable broth, but make sure it's made without tomatoes and doesn't have too many added spices).
Cut the strawberries into small pieces, setting 3 or 4 whole ones aside for later.
Melt 2 tbsps butter in a heavy pot over medium heat, stir in the finely chopped onion and cook on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes (don't allow it to brown). Add the rice, and cook for 2 minutes stirring. ?Pour in the wine and allow it to evaporate.
Start adding hot broth 1 or 2 ladlefuls at a time. Allow for the broth to be absorbed before adding more. ??After about 10-12 minutes, stir in the chopped strawberries, and keep adding more broth and stirring until done (total cooking time is usually around 18-22 minutes). Adjust the salt and check for doneness. The rice should be cooked but firm ("al dente"), and the sauce not too dense. Remove from the heat, stir in the remaining butter and the grated cheese, and allow to rest covered for 2 minutes. Serve immediately, topping with the remaining fresh strawberries.

Kelly Osbourne: My Mum 'Hates' My Gray Hair
"I'll change it tomorrow," the "Fashion Police" star says of the new 'do she displayed at the People's Choice Awards
Jason Merritt/Getty
The Osbournes have never been ones to hold back their feelings, so when Kelly debuted a uniquely hued do at the People's Choice Awards on Wednesday, mom Sharon made her opinion quite known.
"She hates it," Kelly told reporters outside the awards at the Nokia Theatre in L.A. "This is the woman who made me who I am today and she questions it. I don't understand it."
Sharon had three words to describe why she isn't a fan: "Because it's gray!"
But Kelly's choice of shade had purpose, she insisted. "I can't keep bleaching my hair and I want to grow it," she explained to PEOPLE. "So I take breaks in between. I did it a year ago. It was more of a lavender-y gray, but I went straight gray this time. I'll change it tomorrow. I haven't decided [to what color]."
Sharon may detest her daughter's temporary hair color, but Kelly, a Fashion Police co-host, had nothing but praise for her mother's PCA look, Tweeting, "How beautiful does my Mumma look tonight at #thepeopleschoiceawards tonight!!!!!" Tell us: What do you think of Kelly's gray hair? Do you give your hair a "break" between dye jobs?

Arch 3 Hosted by MAGMA
Mark d'Ground, Gavin Rayner, Harry McCanna, Lee Hume, Charlie Dave Kent, Joe Morley. Jant Morr
In association with Mixcloud
The incredible response to our announcement of the very first large scale, indoor, Cocoon show in London can only indicate one thing and that is YOU LOVE COCOON! Early bird tickets sold out in just less than 12 hours, making it the fastest selling LWE event so far.
It's with great pleasure that we can now give you a taste of what to expect for the whole show with our first announcement of artists.
Sven Väth
Sven Väth doesn't need much introduction.... Cocoon is home to the booking agency, label and events – three very important components of the electronic music scene that are both innovative and independent. Sven has been a pioneer and god in electronic music and is worthy of his place at the top of the techno tree! He's the life force behind Cocoon and his hedonistic spirit shines through in his epic DJ sets.
Carl Craig & Cassy
(Exclusive back to back set)
Carl Craig described as a creative visionary, an electronic music icon, an esteemed Grammy-nominated composer, a world-class DJ and an ambassador for his native Detroit. Cassy is Cocoon's leading lady, she builds sets with a distinctive drive balanced with a sense of warmth and soul. With tunes out on Ostgut Ton, Perlon & Playhouse she even sings vocals on her tracks. Putting these together to perform a one off, very special back to back set is going to be one of those rare magical occasions that simply can not be missed.
Mathias Kaden
Mathias is one of Cocoon's fastest rising stars, resident at Cocoon in Ibiza and around the globe. Whether it is opening, primetime or after show, Mathias' intuition for the crowd and location, proves each and every time that he lives for his profession. His closing set at Time Warp was nothing short of amazing. To describe his mixing style as energetic is an understatement and we challenge you to not jack your body to this one!
Onur Ozer
Starting a career in a country with a stagnant music scene was no easy feat but one that he made look cool and effortless. In 2008 following on the back of his releases 'Twilight' and 'Red Cabaret', Sven Väth invited him to play at one of Cocoon's flag ship festival's Green&Blue, not long after, he became part of Cocoon.

The news probably passed you by without much fanfare but old paper Bank of England £5 notes are now no longer legal tender.
The old notes had to be spent by the public by midnight on Friday 5 May and have now lost their legal status.
As of last weekend, the new 'indestructible' polymer notes have officially replaced them.
Shops and businesses have now been instructed to stop handing out the old £5 notes in change.
The Bank of England has warned, however, that some 160 million old fivers are still in the circulation around the UK.
What to do with your old £5 notes?
Well, we wouldn't You can of course exchange them for new notes but you have to be a customer of that particular bank.
Post Office branches will still accept and deposit the old fiver notes into your account.
The Bank of England will also exchange old £5 notes for the new polymer ones in perpetuity - in person or by post - as it would for any old note no longer in circulation or with legal tender status.
People can present the notes to the Bank of England for exchange in person or by post - at the sender's risk - by sending them to Dept NEX, Bank of England, Threadneedle Street, London EC2R 8AH.
If you're trying to exchange a large number of notes, you may be asked for ID (such as your passport or driver's licence).
So what's so special about the new £5 notes?
The new-look polymer fivers - which feature Sir Winston Churchill on the reverse - are stronger than their paper predecessors, boasting new security features to make them harder to counterfeit.
They entered into circulation in September 2016 alongside the old £5 notes.
Four rare notes featuring a micro-engraved portrait of Jane Austen were also released, valued at £50,000.

Cut on/off
Since I've moved to North Carolina I have heard many people say "Cut on/off" the power or lights or any electronic device, and I'm very curious as to why.

That's curious. I don't know why. Have you only ever heard people say "turn it on" or "turn it off"? I've heard it all my life and never thought of it.
Good for you, Ally! I'm glad you asked.
I still don't know, but I am wondering then whether it is just because we are so habituated to the phrase "turn on" and "turn off," and that "cut" is not viewed as a termination of something, but just another verb serving the function of indicating some action with a preposition, as "turn" might be. Or maybe there is the sense of "cut" as a "shift."
Not an explanation, but an attempt. Have a great spring break!
I live in North Carolina. At first I was thinking "No... I've never heard that before". However, after some thought I realized you're right. Though, I only remember "cut off" not "cut on" the lights. Perhaps giving off a tone to end the death of the lights, so to speak.
I don't hear the phrase all too often. Usually the more common "turn on/off" is said.
I do not know of its origin. This is a very interesting question! I'd like to know also.
That's an interesting question. It reminds me of the phrase "cut the power!"
I haven't heard the phrase used to refer to light switches, but we do say "cut off" the electricity in reference to other things- such as disabling an electric fence. This seems to make more sense as it is clear in these cases you are literally cutting off a device's source of electric current; the verb seems less out of place.
So perhaps this has simply been adapted for the simple act of flicking a light switch?
As we know, speakers of the English language will happily reverse any statement they have learned to attempt to communicate its opposite, so I could easily see "cutting off" soon being accompanied by "cutting on".
I found out why! The phrase historically comes from blade switches when you actually cut off/on the lights!!!
I'm highly skeptical of the knife-switch explanation. (I do love those gizmos, however.)
Of course, I cannot be autoritative about it, but I have always thought that this stemmed from:
"Cut the power" + "Turn off the power"
"Cut off the power" (similar to "cut off the flow" or "cut off access to")
By analysis, "Cut on the power."
This then has led to "cut that off," and "cut that on." I've heard both in use.
Maybe this is the answer.
It's a southern thing. Like how people in the south say "y'all." Half of my family says it bc my mom's from GA, the other half doesn't because my dad is from NJ and he says turn it off/on. I have always said cut it on/off referring to appliances, lights, the tv, etc. It's incorrect grammar technically, but oh well there's your answer
