We try to forget about the needs of our body and our business so that we can concentrate on our-self. Swetambers celebrate eight days of Paryushan and the last day is called Samvastsari. In these eight days most of Jains keep fast in many ways and all Jains keep fast on Last day of Paryushan. The process of shedding our KARMAS really begins by asking for forgiveness with true feelings and to vow not to repeat mistakes. The quality of the forgiveness requires humility and suppression of anger.”

Go! put off holiness,/And put on intellect… Men are admitted into Heaven not because they have curbed and governed their passions or have no passions, but because they have cultivated their understandings. The treasures of Heaven are not negations of passion, but realities of intellect, from which all the passions emanate uncurbed in their eternal glory. The fool shall not enter into Heaven let him be ever so holy.”

An infinite array of events that are, impossible to foresee or control affect returns — currency meltdowns, earthquakes, terrorist attacks and 100-year storms (which have a way of occurring every five years!). Logic and rational thinking rarely factor into the mix. As was seen in the dot corn era, a company’s underlying strength, reflected by such variables as profitability, earning prospects and market share, may have far less effect on share price than mindless exuberance. How else can we account for the swings and gyrations in the stock market in recent years?”

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE –“Here comes one with a paper: God give him grace to groan!”
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE –“Here feel we but the penalty of Adam, The seasons’ difference, as the icy fang And churiish chiding of the winter’s wind, Which, when it bites and blows upon my body. Even till I shrink with cold, I smile and say, “This is no flattery”.”

WILLIAM WORDSWORTH –“The World is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers; little we see in Nature that is ours; we have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! This sea that bares her bosom to the moon; The winds that will be howling at all hours, And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers; For this, for everything, we are out of tune; It moves us not — Great God! I’d rather be A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn; so might I, standing on this pleasant lea, have glimpses that would make me less forlorn; Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea, or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.”

WILT ROGERS –“It’s not what you pay a man, but what he costs you that counts.”
WIN PE –“Monk-poet Shin Maha Thilawuntha wrote poems on the thoughts in the Dhamma like the deep tone of a palace drum heard in the far end of the realm. Shin Maharathathara wrote of the nature of kingship and of matters secular in poems like an ensemble for an anyein or like the warble of a karaweik.

Everyone lets the present moment slip by then looks for it as though he thought it were somewhere else. No one seems to have noticed this fact. But grasping this firmly one must pile experience upon experience. And once one has come to this understanding he will be a different person from that point on, though he may not always bear it in mind. When one understands this settling into single- mindedness well, his affairs will thin out.”
YAMANA ESKIMO –“Do not seek to benefit only yourself; think of other people also… If you were lucky in hunting, let others share it. Moreover, show them the favourable spots… let others, too, have their share. If you want to amass everything for yourself other people will stay way from you; no one will want to be with you. If you should fall ill one day no one will visit you because, for your part, you did not formerly concern yourself about others. Grant other people something also. The Yamana do not like a person who acts selfishly.”

Mr. Ashok Sharma
Very rarely are we given the opportunity as citizens to participate in a revolution. The citizens that founded our republic participated in a revolution that has affected every corner of the earth for more than 200 years now. Our grandfathers and fathers participated in a revolution during World War II when we successfully ridded the world of Adolph Hitler and his technology of death that was sweeping civilization.
Finally we all participated in a quiet revolution when Communism fell to its knees a little more than a decade ago, and went out with a WHIMPER. It didn’t have to be that way. Millions could have died in Eastern Europe and in the USSR itself. Very quietly, this brutal totalitarian dictatorship that sought to enslave the planet quietly disappeared, and more remarkably, they all became capitalists. What a wild world we live in.
I submit to you that we are on the eve of a new American Revolution, perhaps as powerful as the birth of our democracy in the 1700’s. What has happened is that the power in this country is in the process of being re-distributed to the people themselves who are the voters. We were born as a Republic, remember the words, “And to the Republic, for which it stands,” in the Pledge of Allegiance. We are fast becoming a Democracy based on the information dispersion created by the Internet and cable television as a tool in everybody’s home.
Granted there is tremendous noise on the Internet, meaning that there is an abundance of useless information, but in the universe there are many gems, and they are on the Internet as well. Think about what has happened in just a few short years? It wasn’t so long ago, that mainstream media had a 100% liberal bias. Clearly, an objective look at ABC, NBC, and CBS would reveal their liberal orientation. From their origins to their story topics, the media always played it to the left of center. Richard Nixon would NEVER have had to resign from office if the either the Senate or the House was Republican and the media was neutral.
Today, with the Internet and Cable television, the tide has certainly evened up, and maybe swung to the other side. Dan Rather of CBS broadcast a disparaging story on George Bush and the National Guard which may have been correct, but Rather knew he couldn’t prove it. In an attempt to influence the election two weeks before the election, he broadcasted it anyway. The Internet blows up his 40 year career and forced his resignation. The bloggers were relentless in attacking Rather and it resulted in the disgraceful behind the scenes, to date never revealed story of the firing of Dan Rather. Without the Internet and Cable television, Dan Rather would still be representing his liberal bias on prime time television every night.
Traditional media and print journalism can’t stand what has happened with the Internet and cable revolution we are participating in. When Republican Congressman Foley committed political suicide by writing inappropriate sexual e-mails to young pages, you and I were able to get on the Internet and read the e-mails for ourselves to determine the guilt of innocence of this man. We didn’t need anybody with a POLITICAL AGENGA filtering it for us, and therein lies the REVOLUTION.
We are able to filter stories for ourselves. No longer do I have to listen to Dan Rather tell me what’s right or wrong. I can listen to Rather, read the NY Times, and go to the Internet and Cable TV to get additional information that the liberals refuse to divulge to me.
The following will amaze you. A month before we invaded Iraq there was a former weapons inspector on television giving an interview in which he spoke in an explosive voice. He was ranting and raving that “There are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and we aren’t going to find any.” I thought he was crazy, but I also said to myself, this is former weapons inspector who was THERE. He’s not a recently released patient from an insane asylum.
Now the reality is that he was right, and the President was wrong, the CIA was wrong, the military was wrong. How was this guy right, and knew he was right, and a 300 billion dollar a year war machine couldn’t get it right? I have never seen or heard from this individual again. Has he been hushed up, why no interview, articles, or books? After all, he got it right, and we all got it wrong.
The Internet is leveling the playing field. If you want to know why John Kerry lost the national election, look to the Internet. The guy was being defined by the Internet before he could define himself. I know Governor Pataki was making a joke when he said that “John Kerry has to Google himself every morning to see where he stands on the issues,” but he wasn’t so far off the truth in retrospect.
If I could have one prayer answered in politics, and I believe it’s going to be answerd, this would be it. I would like to see every candidate, liberal or conservative raise 100% of their financial backing from the Internet and be free from these Special Interests and Lobbyists that are DESTROYING the democratic basis of our country. I don’t want the drug companies to dictate pricing to Medicare for drugs for senior citizens. I also don’t want teacher’s lobbies dictating education in this country.
Did you know from kindergarten through senior year of high school, our education system ranks 16th in the world? On a college level, we rank number one and there is no one even close. Why you ask? It’s because the college system is private, and the public system is not. Even on a college level when you have public colleges like the University of California system or State University of New York system, they are world class only because they have to compete against a private system. Our public school system doesn’t compete, and therefore it is allowed to remain mediocre in the face of 15 superior systems throughout the world.
It is time for the Revolution to continue. By 2012, we will not recognize the political system in the United States as the dispersion of information shifts unfiltered to the people through the Internet’s power. We should all welcome it, and thank God for it. What a wonderful thing that we will be alive to see it.
Goodbye and Good Luck

Alternative Histories – An Answer to the Question “What If?”
http://www.yallways.com
Alternative histories are essentially stories that develop when historians ask “what if?” They are fictional works created on the premise of a change in the events of our past. Although some of these works can take a rather imaginative approach, most are based on a strong framework of historical fact. Thus, alternative histories offer a unique glimpse of what could have happened if humankind had taken a slightly different course.
Alternate histories have been fascinating people for centuries. In fact, the first known account of a variation on the past was written approximately two thousand years ago by Titus Livy, a Roman historian. In his work History of Rome from its Foundation, Livy speculates on what would have happened if Alexander the Great had lived longer and moved his armies westward to attack Rome. In this brief speculative account, which composes a mere section of one out of 142 books, Livy argues that the Romans would have been able to defeat Alexander the Great.
Perhaps the first modern alternate history was composed in France in the early 19th century by Louis Geoffroy. Geoffroy wrote a compelling tale of what could have happened if Napoleon had succeeded in his Russian campaign and continued his global conquests. In this version, titled History of the Universal Monarchy: Napoleon and the Conquest of the World, Napoleon Bonaparte eventually unifies the world and rules as an enlightened despot. Ultimately, Geoffroy tells of a utopian society under Napoleon. Other writers of this period also created utopian alternate histories. For example, in 1895 Englishman Castello Holford composed a variation on the settlement of Virginia. In his version, a reef of gold is found and the settlers use the wealth to build a perfect society in the New World.
By the twentieth century, the genre of alternate history had undergone a notable change. Rather than taking a utopian spin, many authors began composing “dystopian” stories. These works depict a world that is completely under the authority of an authoritarian regime. Many focus on what would have happened if the Allies had not been victorious during World War II. Thus, in The Man in the High Castle, Philip K Dick shows what the United States might have been like had they surrendered to Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan. Similarly, George Orwell’s classic text 1984 depicts a society completely overtaken by totalitarian regimes after World War II. In this version, the Second World War gave birth to three authoritarian super-states controlled by Britain, Russia, and China / Japan.
For the last several decades, there has been a growing trend to merge alternate history with science fiction. In many of these works, time-travel is an underlying theme. Historical figures and events are dragged across space and time to show interesting historical possibilities. One early example of this style was composed in 1923 by H.G. Wells. In his work, Men Like Gods, Wells sends his characters to an alternative timeline showing an oddly utopian Britain. In another variation on this theme, Murray Leinster sends his protagonists through several alternate timelines in his short work Sidewise in Time. More recently, Arthur C. Clark and Stephen Baxter co-authored Time’s Eye, a novel where the world is torn apart and reassembled with pieces from different eras. This ultimately results in one of the most interesting military matchups in alternative history; Alexander the Great versus Genghis Khan.
Alternate histories shine an interesting light on the past. They tell the story of how our world could have been if even the smallest change had been made to the historical record. When properly researched and accurately written, these works can be startlingly realistic. While it is impossible to know how accurate an alternative history account truly is, they ultimately provide an interesting commentary on the world we know.

By destroying animism, we have only ended up exploiting nature in a mood of indifference to the feelings of natural objects.”

WIKIPAEDIA –“Researchers reason that all living humans descend from Africans, some of whom migrated out of Africa and populated the rest of the world. If the mitochondrial analysis is correct, then because mitochondrial Eve represents the root of the mitochondrial family tree, she must have predated the exodus and lived in Africa. Therefore many researchers take the mitochondrial evidence as support for the “single-origin” or Out-of-Africa model.”

WIKIPAEDIA –“Primordial Parashakti is the ultimate dynamic energy of transcendental Brahmn… Brahmn is attributeless whereas Parashakti has many attributes. While, Brahmn has only to be cognised, Parashakti can be worshipped with name and form. She is Divine Will personified. She isconscious power beyond everything. She is the invisible and constant presence that sustains the world, linking form and name, holding them in interdependence. There is nothing impossible for Her She is the Universal Goddess.

WIKIPAEDIA –“The real purpose of the Paryushan is to purify our soul by staying closer to our own soul, to look at our faults, to ask for forgiveness for the mistakes we have committed, and take vows to minimise our faults. We try to forget about the needs of our body and our business so that we can concentrate on our-self. Swetambers celebrate eight days of Paryushan and the last day is called Samvastsari. In these eight days most of Jains keep fast in many ways and all Jains keep fast on Last day of Paryushan. The process of shedding our KARMAS really begins by asking for forgiveness with true feelings and to vow not to repeat mistakes. The quality of the forgiveness requires humility and suppression of anger.”

WILFRED B L TROTTER –“The dispassionate intellect, the open mind, the unprejudiced observer, exist in an exact sense only in a sort of intellectualist folklore; states even approaching them cannot be reached without a moral and emotional effort most of us cannot or will not make.”
WILFRED PETERSON –“The best leaders are very often the best listeners. They have an open mind. They are not interested in having their own way but in finding the best way.”

WILLIAM BLAKE –“Ancient poets animated all sensible objects with gods or geniuses… choosing forms of worship from poetic tales. And at length they pronounced that the gods had ordered such things. Thus men forgot that all deities reside in the human breast.”

WILLIAM BLAKE –“He who binds himself to a joy Doth the winged life destroy; But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in Eternity’s sun rise.”
WILLIAM BLAKE –“I care not whether a man is good or evil; all that I care/ Is whether he is a wise man or a fool. Go! put off holiness,/And put on intellect… Men are admitted into Heaven not because they have curbed and governed their passions or have no passions, but because they have cultivated their understandings. The treasures of Heaven are not negations of passion, but realities of intellect, from which all the passions emanate uncurbed in their eternal glory. The fool shall not enter into Heaven let him be ever so holy.”

An infinite array of events that are, impossible to foresee or control affect returns — currency meltdowns, earthquakes, terrorist attacks and 100-year storms (which have a way of occurring every five years!). Logic and rational thinking rarely factor into the mix. As was seen in the dot corn era, a company’s underlying strength, reflected by such variables as profitability, earning prospects and market share, may have far less effect on share price than mindless exuberance. How else can we account for the swings and gyrations in the stock market in recent years?”

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE –“Here comes one with a paper: God give him grace to groan!”
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE –“Here feel we but the penalty of Adam, The seasons’ difference, as the icy fang And churiish chiding of the winter’s wind, Which, when it bites and blows upon my body. Even till I shrink with cold, I smile and say, “This is no flattery”.”
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE –“How poor are they that have not patience What wound did ever heal but by degrees?”
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE –“I like this place and willingly could waste my time in it.”

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE –“When icicles hang by the wall,/ And Dick the shepherd blows his nail,/ And Tom bears logs into the hall,/ And milk comes frozen home in pail,/When blood is nipp’d and ways be foul,/ Then nightly sings the staring owl,/ Tu-whit; Tu-who, a merry note,While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.”

WILLIAM WORDSWORTH –“The World is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers; little we see in Nature that is ours; we have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! This sea that bares her bosom to the moon; The winds that will be howling at all hours, And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers; For this, for everything, we are out of tune; It moves us not — Great God! I’d rather be A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn; so might I, standing on this pleasant lea, have glimpses that would make me less forlorn; Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea, or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.”

WILT ROGERS –“It’s not what you pay a man, but what he costs you that counts.”
WIN PE –“Monk-poet Shin Maha Thilawuntha wrote poems on the thoughts in the Dhamma like the deep tone of a palace drum heard in the far end of the realm. Shin Maharathathara wrote of the nature of kingship and of matters secular in poems like an ensemble for an anyein or like the warble of a karaweik.

Mr. Ashok Sharma
O Believers!
The new Messiah. His divinity is all about change, hoping for change and changing for the hope – not to mention coolness and hype. So what is the second coming of Jesus doing ? In the name of progressive change the divine one has reappointed 28 former Clinton advisers to his ’shadow government’, named Tim Geithner an insider from the New York Central Bank and someone who is partially responsible for the current economic mess as Treasury Secretary [bad choice]; and now his holiness has announced that HE and HIS government [not markets you understand], will create 2.5 million jobs. Right out of thin air! Or maybe just by adding holy water ? Note to the Messianic genius – governments cannot create anything. Maybe his divinity can read the history of the 1930s and the failure of the New Deal to re-educate his Harvard trained mind before he wipes out the US economy ‘creating’ 2.5 million eco-jobs with welfare money.
O Believers!
The great one, the new prophet and savior of mankind, truly believes that HE [with divine approval?] will save the US economy and ‘manufacture’ jobs. Listen to what his Harvard trained eminence, with the ancient prophets smiling from above no doubt, had to say about HE and HIS team’s plan to solving the government created economic crisis: “..this plan is big enough to meet the challenges we face. … We’ll be working out the details in the weeks ahead, but it will be a two-year, nationwide effort to jump-start job creation in America and lay the foundation for a strong and growing economy.”
O Believers!
Blessed be the prophet Obama. The new messiah’s plan in his own words [are they divine?], “will mean 2.5 million more jobs by January of 2011.” Saving, creating, – a national effort ! personal and communal meaning ! Maybe we can call this the new ‘Volksgemeinschaft’ or the O’Messiah’s state-individual community agreement ? His divine being has proclaimed that the US will be engaged in a 2 year national socialist effort at inventing jobs – how communal, patriotic and heart warming. Tears well up in sundry eyes, as hearts throb to the messianic beat. But there is a slight problem for the holy messiah and the true believers – governments don’t create jobs.
O Believers!
But the kool-aid drinking media and the frenzied and brainwashed [but they hate Christians remember] O’Messiah cult, too busy to read, to get educated, and too disdainful of human skill and ingenuity, will wildly applaud and believe the Black Jesus and his commandments that ‘we shall create and save 2.5 million jobs!’ That would be the 11th commandment along with the other 10 that no one in today’s highly educated world can name. Markets will no doubt rise, female media correspondents faint, and Oprah and friends, along with the racist Trinity Church in Chicago will scream and dance.
O Believers!
The only problem is that government does not create anything. Government does not have independent revenue sources. Government does not have private capital. Government does not create private markets, private contracts, supply and demand and price points. Government does not expand anything other than state power which crowds out and destroys private capital. By destroying private markets in ‘creating’ welfare programs all a government will do is increase debt and actually increase real unemployment over a longer period of time.
Apparently basic economic knowledge is not a requirement to be President or a messiah.
O Believers!
The O’Messiah is simply imitating the failed policies of FDR in the 1930s – one of the great statists and socialists of all time and much beloved by students, professors, and the media. FDR’s statist deal apparently ‘created’ 5 million jobs in the US during the 1930s. Roads, bridges, stadia, public gardens and parks were all ‘created’ by FDR’s autocratic government. However in 1939 25-35 million men were still unemployed – the same number as in 1932. So over a 7 year period nothing changed. FDR did not create jobs, he did not stimulate the economy. In fact he raised taxes, increased government spending by 3 times, increased the Federal debt by 10 times, and after 7 years of hyper-active government interventionism the result was the same – mass unemployment.
Henry Morgenthau was Treasury Secretary during this period and was the man responsible for writing the cheques. In 1939 he admitted the entire New Deal program was a colossal failure: “We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and now if I am wrong somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosper. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises. I say after eight years of this administration, we have just as much unemployment as when we started. And enormous debt to boot.”
You will never see such quotes or facts in history books, classrooms or in the media. FDR like the O’Messiah is a saint like figure. FDR ’saved’ America during the Great Depression. Actually no, he and his policies and that of the preceding Hoover administration caused the Great Depression. The dirty thirties were a government creation not a market failure. High taxes, protectionism, reduced credit, massive regulation and an orgy of spending and governmental interference created and deepened the Depression. Far from saving anything, FDR actually destroyed not only millions of jobs, but millions of ordinary lives.
O Believers!
And for that FDR is a hero.
Now fast forward the new O’Messiah. HE and HIS government, like FDR’s, will create or save 2.5 million jobs. This is rather disappointing since the great socialist FDR created or saved at least 5 million. One would expect more from a divine being. But no matter. Like FDR the Black Jesus will create public works programs targeted at ‘infrastructure’ since according to his holiness only public money can ’save’ the US’ decrepit infrastructural system. However we have the added bonus of hundreds if not thousands of Greenie programs which will be added. Apparently since the state is the only actor which can build a road, it must de facto be the only actor who can love and nurture Mother Earth. So not only will the adoring and publicly paid legions of O’Messiah supporters be busy repairing roads, bridges and sewers, they will also be engaged in trimming bushes, planting flowers, hugging trees, and tenderly cleaning up rivers and streams. We should expect that the welfare created armies of the new Messiah, during the GlobaloneyWarmed summer months of massive climate change will be dancing naked and gaily in the pristine forests and meadows that they have ’saved’.
Not only will his holiness ’save and create 2.5 million jobs’, he will also save Mother Earth!
O Believers!
It is enough to make one drop to his knees, crying and driveling snot and thanking the divine presence for his prescience and massive intelligence in saving us from ourselves! Blessed be the new Jesus !
So let’s see. The Black Jesus will hire 2.5 million good little statists. He will pay them by either raising taxes on others, or by incurring more debt by selling debt instruments to largely foreign buyers [if any remain]; or he will simply print the money. So the 2.5 million ‘created’ jobs are not actually jobs per se but a massive welfare program paid by taxes, future obligations with interest, or through a devalued currency and hence a living standard reduction for all taxpayers. Nice.
Would it be any different if his holiness asked every American to go outside and dig holes for 6 months ? He could then claim to have created 300 million jobs overnight and saved the US economy. He could repay the labor of digging holes, by granting every American a welfare cheque for this ‘work’. This payment would come from sur taxation or debt. Is increasing taxes and debt creating jobs? Does an economy flourish when incentives to produce product and make a profit are diminished? Does real GDP actually grow when you print money or sell debt and hand over the proceeds in welfare payments?
O Believers!
The O’Messiah’s plan is plainly stupid. It is FDR statism. New Deals have always failed. Nazi Germany contrary to popular myth was a bankrupt state in 1939 thanks to nationalist socialist engineering. War in 1939 was inevitable. The Russian empire imploded as ‘New Deals’ destroyed capital, jobs and even morality. Now we have the Black Jesus, whom the media chants is ‘gonna save us’ [so eloquent] proffering the same nonsense. HE will create or save 2.5 million jobs? No he won’t. Like FDR he will destroy millions of jobs and with it millions of lives. And like FDR being an elitist Ivy league snot he won’t care a whit and will use deception and lies to justify big government and the expansion of state power.

I generally dislike books that contain case studies or interviews. For one thing, I think that both of these are highly overrated. The reason is that it’s all about telling you how the person became successful. There’s usually very little advice included to tell you how to do the same thing.
This book is definitely different. From the very beginning it’s engaging. The author, Stanley Tang, is 16 years old. While other young men his age are probably out chasing girls, he’s writing a book.
Next are the interviews themselves. Instead of the usual “this is how I did it” message, there’s actually real nuggets of advice. (Personally, I would buy and read this book just to see what Mark Joyner had to say because he’s been so influential in my life.)
The business owners involved are a diverse group themselves including three military veterans (Mark Joyner, Jason James, and Willie Crawford), two immigrants (Yanik Silver and Joel Christoper), a 17 year old inner city kid (Jermaine Griggs) and a woman with no previous business experience (Rosalind Gardener). Many have endured various forms of adversity, but they certainly didn’t allow this to stop them from becoming successful business owners and millionaires.
Some of the names you may recognize and others you may not because they come from so many different areas of the US, as well as having different niches outside of internet marketing. Regardless, this is a book you will want to read again and again because it contains so many nuggets of wisdom.
The author has also included a huge bonus pack for his readers with a value of over $5,000. Bonuses include everything from audio to ebooks on Law of Attraction, niche marketing, and starting your own successful online business.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to start a business online or wants to be more successful. The advice alone is worth thousands of dollars in consulting fees, but you can get it for the low cost of a book. This book won’t teach you everything you need to know about starting a business online, but it will tell you everything you need to know to get it right.

WIKIPAEDIA –“The real purpose of the Paryushan is to purify our soul by staying closer to our own soul, to look at our faults, to ask for forgiveness for the mistakes we have committed, and take vows to minimise our faults. We try to forget about the needs of our body and our business so that we can concentrate on our-self. Swetambers celebrate eight days of Paryushan and the last day is called Samvastsari. In these eight days most of Jains keep fast in many ways and all Jains keep fast on Last day of Paryushan. The process of shedding our KARMAS really begins by asking for forgiveness with true feelings and to vow not to repeat mistakes. The quality of the forgiveness requires humility and suppression of anger.”

An infinite array of events that are, impossible to foresee or control affect returns — currency meltdowns, earthquakes, terrorist attacks and 100-year storms (which have a way of occurring every five years!). Logic and rational thinking rarely factor into the mix. As was seen in the dot corn era, a company’s underlying strength, reflected by such variables as profitability, earning prospects and market share, may have far less effect on share price than mindless exuberance. How else can we account for the swings and gyrations in the stock market in recent years?”

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE –“Here comes one with a paper: God give him grace to groan!”
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE –“Here feel we but the penalty of Adam, The seasons’ difference, as the icy fang And churiish chiding of the winter’s wind, Which, when it bites and blows upon my body. Even till I shrink with cold, I smile and say, “This is no flattery”.”

This sea that bares her bosom to the moon; The winds that will be howling at all hours, And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers; For this, for everything, we are out of tune; It moves us not — Great God!

WIN PE –“Monk-poet Shin Maha Thilawuntha wrote poems on the thoughts in the Dhamma like the deep tone of a palace drum heard in the far end of the realm. Shin Maharathathara wrote of the nature of kingship and of matters secular in poems like an ensemble for an anyein or like the warble of a karaweik.

Everyone lets the present moment slip by then looks for it as though he thought it were somewhere else. No one seems to have noticed this fact. But grasping this firmly one must pile experience upon experience. And once one has come to this understanding he will be a different person from that point on, though he may not always bear it in mind. When one understands this settling into single- mindedness well, his affairs will thin out.”
YAMANA ESKIMO –“Do not seek to benefit only yourself; think of other people also… If you were lucky in hunting, let others share it. Moreover, show them the favourable spots… let others, too, have their share. If you want to amass everything for yourself other people will stay way from you; no one will want to be with you. If you should fall ill one day no one will visit you because, for your part, you did not formerly concern yourself about others. Grant other people something also. The Yamana do not like a person who acts selfishly.”

The First Communion is a person’s first reception of the sacrament of Eucharist and a Roman Catholic ceremony; however, it is also practiced by some Protestant ethnicities such as the Lutherans. It is usually performed at age 7 or 8.
Such a tradition includes family gatherings accompanied by the fancy dressings to celebrate the occasion. Usually a veil and white gown is worn by girls to symbolize ‘purity’. However, the type of dressing varies from culture to culture and quite lavish and expensive dressing is witnessed in some countries. On the other hand, some wear dresses passed on from elder siblings and mothers. In some cultures like in South America, boys wear military suits to celebrate First Communion while in others; a simple dress is worn with crosses adorned.
Just like Baptism, it’s a religious occasion and hence gifts of a spiritual nature are given that depict the Christian religion. These include; bible, rosaries, religious jewellery and even dresses.
First Communion gifts are usually bought from Catholic stores that deal with accessories and gifts related to the occasion. Many of these are emerging to be online stores to make gift giving and purchases more readily accessible and hassle free while being able to pick the right gift.
Many popular Communion gifts for girls include, dolls, Angel of Love pendant, First Communion customized name bracelet, prayer beads, photo frames, First Communion Watches, necklaces etcetera. Gifts for boys include almost the same type of gifts with the exception of jewellery. This gesture flaunts the faith carried on by generations showing Eucharistic themes in this religious occasion.
Since, this religious occasion is usually a characteristic of the Catholic faith and depicts it’s spiritual rituals, most relevant gifts can be found available with companies, shops and online stores which deal with the relevant items meant for this specific purpose.
With the advent of technology and just in time production system it has become easier to make more and more varieties of gifts customized. Furthermore, online stores even let you avail the option of getting the gifts wrapped and sent to the desired address and date no matter how early they have been ordered. Therefore, there is selection in terms of gifts and also the date and place where the first communion is to be held.
Mass books are given to children to evoke interest for religious studies and preach them the basics of what the faith is about. Various books have been written in this regard for the purpose of teaching Christianity thorough influential words and thought provoking images which create an interest at an early age. Similarly, religious ornaments, like the cross teach the followers of its powerful existence to fight off evil and protect from any mishaps.
First Communion is not just about celebrating an occasion and wearing a fancy dress, rather it is a time of a level of awareness at which a child realizes that it’s not just a regular bread he or she is able to acquire through the span of life but is the Eucharist bread that Christ had given his blood and soul for. For First Communion, the child should have received his Baptism earlier on without which this ceremony cannot take place and the child is required to have made his first confession before.

I might as well say, right from the jump: it wasn’t my usual kind of job.
I like to work alone, in my own clean, silent, well-lit laboratory, where the climate is controlled and everything I need is right at hand. It’s true that I have developed a reputation as someone who can work effectively out of the lab, when I have to, when the museums don’t want to pay the travel insurance on a piece, or when private collectors don’t want anyone to know exactly what it is that they own. It’s also true that I’ve flown halfway around the world, to do an interesting job. But never to a place like this: the boardroom of a bank in the middle of a city where they just stopped shooting at each other five minutes ago.
For one thing, there are no guards hovering over me at my lab at home. I mean, the museum has a few quiet security professionals cruising around, but none of them would ever dream of intruding on my work space. Not like the crew here. Six of them. Two were bank security guards, two were Bosnian police, here to keep an eye on the bank security, and the other two were United Nations peacekeepers, here to keep an eye on the Bosnian police. All having loud conversations in Bosnian or Danish over their crackly radio handsets. As if that wasn’t enough of a crowd, there was also the official UN observer, Hamish Sajjan. My first Scottish Sikh, very dapper in Harris tweed and an indigo turban. Only in the UN. I’d had to ask him to point out to the Bosnians that smoking wasn’t going to be happening in a room that would shortly contain a fifteenth-century manuscript. Since then, they’d been even more fidgety.
I was starting to get fidgety myself. We’d been waiting for almost two hours. I’d filled the time as best I could. The guards had helped me reposition the big conference table nearer to the window, to take advantage of the light. I’d assembled the stereo microscope and laid out my tools: documentation cameras, probes, and scalpels. The beaker of gelatin was softening on its warming pad, and the wheat paste, linen threads, gold leaf were laid out ready, along with some glassine envelopes in case I was lucky enough to find any debris in the binding — it’s amazing what you can learn about a book by studying the chemistry of a bread crumb. There were samples of various calfskins, rolls of handmade papers in different tones and textures, and foam forms positioned in a cradle, ready to receive the book. If they ever brought the book.
“Any idea how much longer we’re going to have to wait?” I asked Sajjan. He shrugged.
“I think there is a delay with the representative from the National Museum. Since the book is the property of the museum, the bank cannot remove it from the vault unless he is present.”
Restless, I walked to the windows. We were on the top floor of the bank, an Austro-Hungarian wedding cake of a building whose stuccoed facade was speckled with mortar pockmarks just like every other structure in the city. When I put my hand on the glass, the cold seeped through. It was supposed to be spring; down in the small garden by the bank’s entrance, the crocuses were blooming. But it had snowed earlier that morning, and the bowl of each small flower brimmed with a foam of snowflakes, like tiny cups of cappuccino. At least the snow made the light in the room even and bright. Perfect working light, if only I could get to work.
Simply to be doing something, I unrolled some of my papers — French-milled linen. I ran a metal ruler over each sheet, working it flat. The sound of the metal edge traveling across the large sheet was like the sound of the surf I can hear from my flat at home in Sydney.I noticed that my hands were shaking. Not a good thing in my line of work.
My hands are not what you’d call one of my better features. Chapped, wattled across the back, they don’t look like they belong on my wrists, which I am happy to report are slender and smooth like the rest of me. Charwoman’s hands, my mother called them, the last time we argued. After that, when I had to meet her at the Cosmopolitan for coffee — brief, correct, the pair of us brittle as icicles — I wore a pair of gloves from the Salvos as a sort of piss-take. Of course, the Cosmopolitan is probably the only place in Sydney where someone might miss the irony in that gesture. My mother did. She said something about getting me a hat to match.
In the bright snow light, my hands looked even worse than usual, all ruddy and peeling from scouring the fat off cow gut with a pumice stone. When you live in Sydney, it’s not the simplest thing in the world to get a meter of calf ’s intestine. Ever since they moved the abattoir out of Homebush and started to spruce the place up for the 2000 Olympics, you have to drive, basically, to woop woop, and then when you finally get there, there’s so much security in place because of the animal libbers you can barely get in the gate. It’s not that I blame them for thinking I was a bit sketchy. It’s hard to grasp right off the bat why someone might need a meter of calf ’s appendix. But if you are going to work with five-hundred-year-old materials, you have to know how they were made five hundred years ago. That’s what my teacher, Werner Heinrich, believed. He said you could read about grinding pigments and mixing gesso all you like, but the only way to understand is to actually do it. If I wanted to know what words like cutch and schoder really described, I had to make gold leaf myself: beat it and fold it and beat it again, on something it won’t stick to, like the soft ground of scoured calf intestine. Eventually, you’ll have a little packet of leaves each less than a thousandth of a millimeter thick. And you’ll also have horrible-looking hands.
I made a fist, trying to smooth out the old-lady wattle skin. Also to see if I could stop the trembling. I’d been nervous ever since I changed planes in Vienna the day before. I travel a lot; you basically have to, if you live in Australia and want a piece of the most interesting projects in my field, which is the conservation of medieval manuscripts. But I don’t generally go to places that are datelines in war correspondents’ dispatches. I know there are people who go in for that sort of thing and write great books about it, and I suppose they have some kind of “It can’t happen to me” optimism that makes it possible for them. Me, I’m a complete pessimist. If there’s a sniper somewhere in the country I’m visiting, I fully expect to be the one in his crosshairs.
Even before the plane landed, you could see the war. As we broke through the gray swag of cloud that seems to be the permanent condition of the European sky, the little russet-tiled houses hugging the Adriatic looked familiar at first, just like the view I’m used to, down over the red rooftops of Sydney to the deep blue arc of Bondi Beach. But in this view, half the houses weren’t there anymore. They were just jagged bits of masonry, sticking up in ragged rows like rotting teeth.
There was turbulence as we went over the mountains. I couldn’t bring myself to look as we crossed into Bosnia so I pulled down the window shade. The young bloke next to me — aid worker, I guessed, from the Cambodian scarf and the gaunt malarial look of him — obviously wanted to look out, but I ignored his body language and tried to distract him with a question.
“So, what brings you here?”
“Mine clearance.”
I was tempted to say something really borderline like, “Business booming?” but managed, uncharacteristically, to restrain myself. And then we landed, and he was up, with every single other person in the plane, jostling in the aisle, ferreting around in the overhead bins. He shouldered an immense rucksack and then proceeded to almost break the nose of the man crowding the aisle behind him. The lethal backpacker ninety-degree turn. You see it on the bus at Bondi all the time.
The cabin door finally opened, and the passengers oozed forward as if they were glued together. I was the only one still seated. I felt as if I’d swallowed a stone that was pinning me to my spot.
“Dr. Heath?” The flight attendant was hovering in the emptied aisle.
I was about to say, “No, that’s my mother,” when I realized she meant me. In Australia only prats flaunt their PhDs. I certainly hadn’t checked in as anything other than Ms.
“Your United Nations escort is waiting on the tarmac.” That explained it. I’d already noticed, in the run-up to accepting this gig, that the UN liked to give everyone the fl ashiest possible handle.
“Escort?” I repeated stupidly. “Tarmac?” They’d said I’d be met, but I thought that meant a bored taxi driver holding a sign with my name misspelled. The flight attendant gave me one of those big, perfect, German smiles. She leaned across me and flung up the drawn shade. I looked out. Three huge, amor-plated, tinted-window vans, the kind they drive the American president around in, stood idling by the plane’s wingtip. What should have been a reassuring sight only made the stone in my gut a ton heavier. Beyond them, in long grass posted with mine-warning signs in various languages, I could see the rusting hulk of a huge cargo plane that must have missed the runway during some earlier unpleasantness. I looked back at Fräulein Smiley-Face.
“I thought the cease fire was being observed,” I said.
“It is,” she said brightly. “Most days. Do you need any assistance with your hand luggage?”
I shook my head, and bent to tug out the heavy case wedged tightly under the seat in front of me. Generally, airlines don’t like collections of sharp metal things on board, but the Germans are great respecters of trades, and the check-in clerk understood when I explained how I hate to check my tools in case they end up touring Europe without me while I sit on my rear end unable to do my work.
I love my work. That’s the thing. That’s why, despite being a world-class coward, I agreed to take this job. To be honest, it never occurred to me not to take it. You don’t say no to the chance to work on one of the rarest and most mysterious volumes in the world.
