 |  |  |  | RELATED ARTICLES The Sixties
 A decade that stands out above the rest of our world's history as a time of revolutionary changes from all over the globe - changes that even effected outer space.  There was unprecedented levels of sexual freedom celebrated among the world's youth, and teenagers around the world revolted against the generations before them.  Radio brought the people completely new sounds in music, with the chart toppers fighting over the number one spots each week.  The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, among others, released one hit after another throughout the sixties.

 Dreaming of Love and Peace
 She dreams of touring Europe and the US to sing of love and peace. That is her 'big ambition.' A rising star amongst Egypt's singers, Rula Zaki tells us in her best known song that we live on an indivisible planet.
 Mexican Living: So You Want To Expatriate?
 Expatriate wannebees often ask us how we managed our expatriation to Guanajuato, Mexico. They want to know how we overcame the seemingly overwhelming logistics of deciding where to live, if it's affordable, if there is reasonable medical care, how to find housing, can Americans find work, what about visas, and will the culture shock be too great to handle?
 Conceptual Art: Who Appreciates It?
 Art is sometimes overwhelming. Life as a whole can become overwhelming, and at times I do find myself caught up in its whirlwind of drama. Being the person that I am, being faced with it, I tend to question the things that I don't understand, and sometimes I questions the things I understand the most, the things that I am certain of the most, like art.
 Masking European Animism
 The ancient peoples of Europe were more fond of masks and religious ritual than you
would suspect if you saw Europeans today. Mask wearing and shamanism was part
and parcel of everyday life in ancient Western European tradition, say researchers.
 The Nos Feratu
 The Caduceus has the pine cone representing the Pineal Gland which it looks like. Clearly the Edwin Smith Codex alone should be enough to tell us that the Egyptians knew a great deal about the human anatomy. But like the Rhind Papyrus which was copied from earlier treatises in 1650 BCE this knowledge including Chaos Science existed long before that. I am going to speculate about the genetic knowledge and blood rituals in a most scientific manner and try to convey how the genetic knowledge written about by Sir Laurence Gardner in his books like Genesis of the Grail Kings also can explain why his forwarder to that book says Count Dracula is one of their lofty Sarkeny Rend Rosicrucians. I will try to encapsulate a whole book I have written called The Nos Feratu.
 Europes New Jews
 They inhabit self-imposed ghettoes, subject to derision and worse, the perennial targets of far-right thugs and populist politicians of all persuasions. They are mostly confined to menial jobs. They are accused of spreading crime, terrorism and disease, of being backward and violent, of refusing to fit in.
 A Billion Cheers At 40: Lets Celebrate Mummy Jessy
 Ooh the depth of literary riches, how terrific they are! In less than 40 hours time, our sister- J. K. Rowling would roll into her 40th birthday anniversary (on the 31st July). While making no pretences of any private relationship with her, or knowledge of, how she intends to mark her arrival at the proverbial 'land of milk and honey'. I am using this article to invite all writers to celebrate this ambassador of our profession -the PEN FAMILY, by posting a copy or just say something to appreciate this God's gift in our midst.
 Humans are not special, hate to break it to you
 I hate to break it to you, but humans are not all that special really. I laugh at the self importance humans place on this species as if some how they are better, more evolved or the divine work and special project of a God. There is actually not a single piece of evidence for that. We see the same general characteristics we see in humans in house pets, primates, birds and even fish. Yes, indeed we have a larger brain and the point is? Few humans bother to use its potential. Now that I have offended every human on the planet, let me recommend a book to you:
 Rules of Noble Succession
 Let me first say that the rules of noble succession, as they apply to a specific noble family, can normally not be changed. They are determined either by:
 The Different Styles of Inuit Sculptures
 At first, all Inuit soapstone sculptures from the Arctic may look alike.  However, there are variances in artistic styles among the different Inuit art producing communities.  Although all communities produce Inuit sculptures featuring both animal and human subjects, some seem to do more animals while others do more people figures.  Some communities make their subjects appear quite realistic with lots of high detail while in others, a more crude and primitive look is preferred.  There are Inuit sculptures that have a highly polished finishes and some that are the complete opposite where they are left dull and unpolished.
 Garnet is Januarys Birthstone
 If you're still young enough to remember your birthday, you probably also remember the special birthstone assigned to it.  But at your age, we bet you don't really know the SIGNIFICANCE of your birthstone and what power the ancients felt would be bestowed about you by wearing it.

 The Birth Of Eskimo Inuit Art Prints
 Unlike Inuit sculpture, art prints from the Canadian Arctic are a twentieth century innovation in Inuit Eskimo art. One of the most significant events that happened during the development of contemporary Inuit art was when Canadian James Houston taught the Inuit to make art prints by incising designs into linoleum tiles, stone blocks and stencils from sealskins. He had previously studied printmaking in Japan since the Japanese were considered innovators in this art process.

 Thaitsuki Nihonto Samurai Swords:  Leading The Way
 So why are these swords so popular?  There are several reasons but number one is quality.  The Thaitsuki swords are handmade by trained craftsman in using a family method over 200 years old.  Second, there is no other line of swords in the world that you can find at a price that the Thaitsuki swords sell for with the same quality.  Thaitsuki Nihonto swords should be in a price range around $2000 and more.
