Say It In Words

Perennial holiday problems will always include what food to serve, which guests to invite and more to the point which gift to give. Of course, we all like to think that we are the perfect gift giver but sit back and take a look at the gifts you have received yourself over the years.

Do they give you that soft loved feeling, or do they leave you cold? This is a common feeling experienced by so many and yet, the choice could be made easier by just preparing a little in advance.

I dont condone doing what some people do. That is, buying up the January sales, wholesale, for gifts to be given throughout the year. This saves some dollars, accepted, but does it do what a gift should do? To my mind this is buying gifts and then trying to fit it to a friend or relative, instead of the other way around. Sure, if you have your list of things you want to buy, and those gifts are on sale then dig in. But sales are notorious for getting rid of old stock, things that were not best se...see full article

Maidenly Pleasures

It seems rather quaint that here in the 21st century we still adhere to customs and practices of the past.

Why would we hang on to these things? The easiest answer is probably because we like to keep some customs alive even though they may be somewhat outdated.

So why do we have bridesmaids? Well, some countries have different reasons for the maids. At one time it was thought that someone would commit an evil deed at a wedding so all the bridesmaids would dress in the same style as the bride to confuse the evildoer.

Others say that the maids would gather on the night prior to the wedding to undo the brides single plait and make two plats to denote that she was now part of two people.

Traditionally the bride should be blindfolded and placed in a circle of bridesmaids and made to spin.

Wherever she stopped, the maid facing her would be the next to get married. In yet other countrie, and indeed this one has lasted even up to today, the bride throws her bouquet over her shou...see full article

Eastern Philosophy Contribute To The Da Vinci Code Controversy?

The recent uproar over The Da Vinci Code book, and now movie, has digressed into a tedious argument about historical factual details. However, one thing that is indisputable is that the book touched something in millions of readers across the planet.

Perhaps the magic spark that excited readers to tell others about the book, eventually making it a global best seller, was not the facts or fiction of the book, but rather the metaphoric truth it exposed.

That truth was about the male and female aspects of consciousness, or what ancient Chinese philosophers would refer to as the yin and the yang. The male, or yang aspects of consciousness are the seen world, the linear and active, constructive and analytical world. The female or yin being the unseen and non-linear, the receptive, the contemplative, and the intuitive aspect of consciousness and reality. The essence of the Da Vinci Code was about feminine energy being removed from global consciousness in history.

Ancient Philosophy And Types Of Personality

It's always intrigued me that there are different personality types, that people can even be standardized into types at all. We've all heard of the personality types before: sanguine, melancholy, phlegmatic, and choleric. To define them simply: a personality type is what helps determine how an individual will behave and react to different circumstances, how they think and feel about things. Beyond that, I won't go in depth on what each of the four types means. I just wanted to bring them up so as to talk about personality types in a general way. As a younger man, I was given many personality tests to try and determine just where I fell in the grand scheme of human behavior.

I usually scored mid range, mediocre maybe you could say. My personality seemed to be a mix between sanguine and melancholy, which means that I was both thoughtful and energetic.

But taking a wide array of personality tests got me intrigued with the idea of personality types in g...see full article

Confucius And Chinese Philosophy

Depending on the person or religious scholar, Confucianism is referred to as a philosophy and by others a religion. Most comprehend it as a form of humanism that is all-encompassing that neither denies nor tries to prove there is (or is not) a heaven. In any case it has had an influence on the political and spiritual arena of China and has also spread to countries such as Japan, Vietnam, and Korea. The percentage of East Asians who identify themselves as Taoists, Buddhists, Muslim, Christian, or Shintoists, never leave their Confucian roots, and consider themselves to be of both faiths. The religion was founded sometime between the fifth to sixth century BC in China. Confucius lived from 551 to 479 BC. About 5.5 million people practice this religion (or philosophy) whichever one wishes to translate it to be. Confucianism is not an Asian word. It actually originated in the 1700's and is Latin. Confucius was born into a poor home whose family were part of the aristoc...see full article

2012 - Prophecy Or Hype?

Is it the beginning of a New Age form of ascension or a Doomsday Armageddon end? Heralded by some as the coming of a rebirth of a new consciousness and by others as the harbinger of chaos and death.

Is it prophesy or hype?

Which is it? As the year 2012 approaches, the media will surely blow the trumpets of alarm. I remember the trumpets blaring with the coming of the year 2000, the turn of the century into a new millennium. Do you remember the Y2 frenzy?

The potential for a complete breakdown of civilization hung on our ability to reprogram all the computers of the world to accept four simple digits - 2000. Well, we did it. Is this new threat of the same kind? Can we fix it?

As you can guess this is different. Different because it is of no human man-made substance or hold in your hands data. It is the product of prophecy and of interpretation. It is different because it threatens not only our lifestyle, but also life itself.

Ye Public Hai, Kuch Nahi Jaanti!

A CORRUPTION scam by Madhu Koda former Chief Minister of Jharkhand of Rs. 4000 crore is in the news. He fulfilled all the dreams of the Jharkhand people most of whom are tribals by not providing them with basic amenities and collecting money intended for them for his own pocket.

Devleoping a Forex Trading Philosophy

"Easy money" is the allure that captivates many beginning FOREX traders. FOREX websites offer "risk-free" trading, "high returns", "low investment." These claims have a grain of truth in them, but the reality of FOREX is a bit more complex.

Mistakes Of The Beginning Trader

There are 2 common mistakes that many beginner traders make: trading without a strategy and letting emotions rule their decisions. After opening a FOREX account it may be tempting to dive right in and start trading. Watching the movements of EUR/USD for example, you may feel that you are letting an opportunity pass you by if you don't enter the market immediately. You buy and watch the market move against you. You panic and sell, only to see the market recover.

This kind of undisciplined approach to FOREX is guaranteed to lose money. FOREX traders must have a rational trading strategy and not make trading decisions in the heat of the moment.

People say that when you are in extreme sports, you must adopt the fearless philosophy. When you are a teacher, you have a patient philosophy to understand your students.

Himfr.com Reports Iran Confirms Bin Laden Daughter At Saudi Embassy

Iran confirmed Thursday that a daughter of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden has turned up at the Saudi Embassy in Tehran, but said it does not know

how she entered the country.

A Saudi newspaper reported Wednesday that Bin Laden's 17-year-old daughter, Eman, went to the embassy after eluding guards in Iran who have held

her, her sister and four brothers under house arrest for eight years.

The Ubvric Rosetta Stone Prophecies

Archeology and anthropology are described by many scholars as two sciences working in tandem, as brother and sister, to unlock the mysteries of the past.

In 1936, scientists working in a shallow cavern, known as the Cave of Lachenal, located near the Annapurna Sanctuary on the Nepalese approach to Annapurna I, discovered a tablet made of a terracotta like material, common on the Asian continent.

The Cave of Lachenal, covered with ice and snow for most of the year, faces Annapurna I. Annapurna, the Goddess of the Harvest, the fertile one, the bearer of that which is fruitful to man.

So named the Ubvric Rosetta Stone, the tablet bears writing in an ancient form of Devnagari. This is the language spoken by the Sherpas of Nepal. Today, the Sherpas speak a form of Devnagari significantly changed from that which appears on the Ubvric. However, that is to be expected, since the Stone is at least 1,000 years old and probably, scientists say, much ...see full article

Himfr.com Reports China Took Over The Mantle Of The World's Top Exporter From Germany

China took over the mantle of the world's top exporter from Germany in 2009, according to the latest figures, helped on its way by a global

economic crisis that has taken a greater toll on other trading powers.

China exported $957 billion of goods in the first 10 months of 2009, compared with $917 billion for Germany, according to data compiled by Global

Trade Information Services, a Geneva-based firm that collects and tabulates customs data. No November or December developments are likely to

overturn the Chinese lead, trade experts say.

China had long been expected to become the world's largest exporter, with annual growth in exports regularly exceeding 20% in the past decade.

'China's overtaking Germany on exports was only a matter of time,' said Mei Xinyu, who works for a think tank affiliated with China's Commerce

Ministry.

Himfr.com Reports Talent Crunch Plagues Chinese Firms

Finding talented employees has become a major stumbling block for private Chinese firms keen on broadening their economic horizons.

And even when they do offer market prices for skilled help, members of today's talent pool are often hesitant to join local companies.

Take for example 27-year-old Xiao Wu, a senior consultant with a multinational accounting firm and keen to move up the corporate ladder.

When offered a high-paying position as chief finance officer of a private, Chinese education firm with overseas IPO plans in the works, the college graduate was hesitant to take the job.

"Private Chinese companies are not good at management, and I don't know whether my efforts will be recognized by colleagues that have already worked there for many years," Wu said.

The bid for competent and experienced employees has become a serious challenge for private Chinese companies in the IPO process both at home and abroad.

Himfr.com Reports Immigration Reform To Benefit U.s. Economy: Study

Internet search giant Google has stopped short of an official apology to Chinese authors for scanning their books without permission.

It's the
first time the search engine expressed regret over the backlash its project to create an online digital library has caused.

On the Chinese side, there's a push to set up a system which will make it easier for online libraries, like Google's, to get formal permission from authors.

Media commentators went berserk when Google was accused of digitizing 80 thousand pieces of Chinese written work and posting them on the Internet

without permission. On Saturday, Google sent an emissary, an American who is fluent in Mandarin, to confront the accusation.

Eric Hartmann, Asia-Pacific Head of Google books, said, "I think Google has somehow displeased the Chinese authors by unawarely triggering their

instinct to protect copyrights. We feel sorry."

Last November, the Ch...see full article

Himfr.com Reports Google Says Sorry To Chinese Authors

Palmpad In Hand

She started to ask Rasimet where it might have come from, but the other woman was already introducing her to the baker.
"Woman is Yoshi," she told the man, whose glossy coat was a shade of gold not unlike his bread. To Yoshi she said, "This man is Baker Burgat. And," she added, turning her smile on the other fellow, "this man is Metalworker Oreth."
Yoshi greeted both men in their language, gratified by their pleased surprise.
Rasimet turned her attention to baked goods then and had a series of words with Burgat that both Yoshi and the LF had trouble tracking.

At the end of the dialogue, Burgat held up his hands in a "wait-wait" gesture, then disappeared into the back room. He reappeared with two lovely fat buns with shiny crusts. These he held out to Rasimet and Yoshi.
"For you," he said. "I am satisfied. Tell other stranger-peopie of Baker Burgat's shop."
Accepting the fragrant and still warm bun, Yoshi promised to spread the word among the members...see full article
