“How do you feel about global immunization?”
I recently got an immunization shot for the seasonal influenza and the H1N1 ( swine flu ). I left the clinic curious on how long it would take for the vaccine to do its stuff. They made me wait fifteen minutes for any side effects. After some research I discovered some important facts: It seems my heart, when resting quietly, pushes out liquid blood at the rate of 100 ml. per stroke. The blood, in its travels through veins and arteries, is a fascinating example of chemical engineering, environmental control, fluid mechanics and defying the force of gravity. Always on the move, six litres of blood makes a complete circuit of the body, carrying food and oxygen, once every sixty seconds.² This tells me that the vaccine went to work almost immediately healing and protecting my immune system from the flu. Recent statistics have stated that only one-third of the province of Ontario - that's in Canada, has received a free shot in the arm. The world is now getting theirs. How about you? You Call the Shot. Sources: ¹ British Fantasy Pics ² Human Engineering – John Lenihan, page 38 |

Measured Female Greatness
The Earth is great in compared to a hill or a grain of sand but seen in the proper relationship to the universe, it is almost insignificant. Gulliver among the pygmies was a great man in size but among the giants, his greatness dissolved like snow in a volcano. Relative to height, weight or physical strength greatness can be measured mechanically. Applied to ordinary men and women, it calls for subtler scales. It is used in such phrases as; great rascal, great scoundrel - to mean mere excess. In a limited sense, a circus giant is greater than Napoleon or Shakespeare. The huge executioner of Joan of Arc would hardly be said to be greater than she.
Historically, the male is more active, creative and aggressive. Man has shaped women towards his low ideals of physical beauty, physique and mental weakness. Man has bred his female towards lovely feebleness and imbecility. Man has denied woman human culture, in its higher phases, such as abstract thinking. The breed of men and woman grows wiser and prouder through the ages.
Greatness is relative to unusually, comparatively largeness in some quality; seen with admiration. But size isn't everything. The female is essentially passive and conservative. The ancient Greeks see beauty, the hunt and the orators of the ancients as female. Even the Graces, Destinies, Fates and Furies were regarded as female. Only a few exceptional women step out of their sex role and shine in a male dominated position of philosopher, poet or warrior. They foreshadow the present and the future in human roles. The greatness of woman in the arts and sciences was very brief.
The iron oppression of the Roman Empire made it a hostile world. At times it was forced upon a woman with hideous circumstances. “Great Women of Antiquity”1 such as Aspasia, Broadicea, Cleopatra, Deborah, Sappho, Semiramis took the world as it came to them, winning control as she may. Oppression breeds revolt. The great person takes the offensive and wins.
Modern times show us, by means of birth and death registry, to be an elaborate statistical machine. Legends are difficult to grow in this environment. Accomplishments will grow, as women move closer to a conjoined direction of affairs, in which the world is their prerogative. Women may be the salvation of a world not too hopeful without it. The time may come when even hopeless revolts will succeed beyond hoping.

Sport to Business Coaching
The Essence of Business Management is to Retain Control. 
The essence of business management is to retain control of any situation ( or at least your position in it ) without enough data, assets or power to justify that retention – just like a union. This ideal is accomplished thru accounting, advertising, analyzing variances, benchmarking, communicating, exporting, financing, instructing, leadership, making decisions, manufacturing, pricing, procurement, recruiting, style, techniques, theories, time management and tools.
If you want to be the quarter-back then, you must know the positions to enact the plays of the game. The skill in “asking powerful questions” such as what or how, does not refer to anything which appears on the surface. Instead, it seeks to find the hidden and the unknown by following up one clue after another. “Why?" you can answer the emotion ( justification or blame ) as you please, but not "How?" Any education, in fact, is simply learning “how naturally” belongs to the business universe.
Twentieth century jargon ( behavioral, bottom line, capitalist, critical path analysis, contribution, dedication, downstream, ethics, firmware, fiscal, Gaussian, headcount, initials, leader, logistics, management information, mix, pert, proactive, project, redundancy, user-friendly and vertical integration ) is referred to as obsolete or dunstal.
Weak decisions inherit the sins of the strong ( PCs vs Apple computer). Word the question in such a way to allow the answer to be given as “yes” or “no” to improve statistical input. A business must down-size before up-sizing. A coach in observation honors the prime directive. My studies continue...

To Buy or Not to Buy ...
Communications Matrix connects the World of Finance for anyone ...
The Problem is a stock market coming out of an economic recession, bear low. There is a credit crunch effecting the availability of money in society ( business and consumer ). There is also a metals crunch effecting all metal prices worldwide. They know where the resource land bank is but they have to finance and extract. I have a list of twelve dozen ( 144 ) stocks that should be address to these issues.
The Solution directs me to analyze the list of stocks based on the 52 week high and low prices, establish a percentage gain if, the stock was bought at stock price bear low and sold at bull high. From this listing I can pick the top percentages and compare the current price to buy accordingly.
The Decision is the purchase of four stocks; a Mining Royalty to cover the credit crunch in the industry, another mining company with many investment alerts from a major bank, a South African Diamond company and a mining company that hit a double digit stock price before the stock price, bear recession.
The Strategy I will experiment with is based on a million-dollar best selling non-fiction over here in North America, "How to Make $1,000,000 in the Stock Market" written by Robert Lichello. The system is in its fourth printing phase. I will use the first edition since that's what the fourth edition is based on ( besides, it is a much thinner book ). I will also private ledger ( book & electronic ) all information pertinent to the buy - as the book outlines.
The Action is to spend fifty percent ( 50% ) of my available capital to purchase the stock. The other fifty percent ( 50% ) will be on hold as back-up - in case there is another buy signal. Sometimes a small purchase can effect the stock price as well as a large one. Here's crossing my fingers - hoping my timing is right. The only way is upwards and onwards.
To Implement this call to action, I'll call up the on-line bank-brokerage web page - after the market closes. I'll confirm the stock price and research any new developments. I'll make sure the account can handle the day-order and commission. I then will fill in the on-line form. I'll check back after the market opens for confirmation of order placed. Now, I have to be patient and monitor the stock by the book or newspaper.
When the stock reacts with a double in value, I remove in profit, fifty percent ( 50% ) of the investment. I now have the initial investment back in account ready for another buy plus stocks in a company that just doubled its value. I always hang on to at least the basic lot buy ( 100 shares - Toronto and 500 shares - Vancouver ); for ledger reflection. Off to the races !!
Market follow-up was noted after the buy on Thanksgiving ... the Dow went up 100 points !!

Floating Island ?
Atlantis as viewed by the Egyptians via Greeks ...
Priestess Atlantis Oracle"This Oracle which is in Egypt is sacred to Leto, and it is established in a great city near that mouth of the Nile which is called Sebennytic, as one sails up the river from the sea; and the name of this city where the Oracle is found is Buto, as I have said before in mentioning it. In this Buto there is a temple of Apollo and Artemis; and the temple-house of Leto, in which the Oracle is the island called Chemmis. This is situated in a deep and broad lake by the side of the temple at Buto, and it is said by the Egyptians that this island is a floating island. (page 185) In this island of which I speak there is a great temple-house of Apollo, and three several altars are set up within, and there are planted in the island many palm-trees and other trees, both bearing fruit and not bearing fruit. And the Egyptians, when they say that it is floating, add this story, namely that in this island which formerly was not floating, Leto, being one of the eight gods who came into existence first, and dwelling in the city of Buto where she has this Oracle, received Apollo from Isis as a charge and preserved him, concealing him in the island which is said now to be a floating island." (page 187)
Early Stonehenge Theatre?
"Also at Sais there is the burial-place of him whom I account it not pious to name in connexion with such a matter, which is in the temple of Athene behind the house of the goddess, stretching along the whole wall of it; and in the sacred enclosure stand great obelisks of stone, and near them is a lake adorned with an edging of stone and fairly made in a circle, being in size, as it seemed to me, equal to that which is called the "Round Pool" in Delos. On this lake they perform by night the show of his sufferings, and this the Egyptians call Mysteries. Of these things I know more fully in detail how they take place, but I shall leave this unspoken; and of the mystic rites of Demeter, which the Hellenes call thesmophoria, of these also, although I know, I shall leave unspoken all except so much as piety permits me to tell. The daughters of Danaos were they who brought this rite out of Egypt and taught it to the women of the Pelasgians; then afterwards when all the inhabitants of Peloponnese were driven out by the Dorians, the rite was lost, and only those who were left behind of the Peloponnesians and not driven out, that is to say the Arcadians, preserved it." (page 200)
Religious Infinite Beings;
Egyptians call Zeus as Amun. (page 55). Egyptians use two kinds of characters for writing, of which the one kind is called sacred and the other common.(page 47) and they drink from cups of bronze (page 48). Egyptian females may not be sacrifice but cows are sacred to Isis; for the figure of Isis is in the form of a woman with cow's horns. (page 52). Heracles is a very ancient Egyptian god. (page 57, 171). Traveling to the Tyre of Phenicia, hearing that in that place there was a holy temple of Heracles; I saw that it was richly furnished with many votive offerings besides, and especially there were in it two pillars, the one of pure gold and the other of an emerald stone of such size as to shine by night. (page 58). Now, they say that Apollo and Artemis are children of Dionysos and of Isis, and that Leto became their nurse and preserver; and in the Egyptian tongue Apollo is Oros, Demeter is Isis, and Artemis is Bubastis. (page 187)
Labyrinth - True or False?
Strabo, who visited Egypt in the first century B.C., long after Herodotus, described the labyrinth in a similar fashion though he did not mention the underground chambers (Geography, 17.1.37-38): Diodorus, also in the first century B.C., wrote (Library of History, 1.66): Pliny described the Labyrinth in the first century A.D. (Natural History, 36.19): There are a few other ancient accounts of the Labyrinth, but of the several authors, it is likely that only Herodotus and Strabo personally visited the site. And what of the structure of the Labyrinth itself at Hawara? There is nothing left - W.M. Flinders Petrie wrote (Ten Years Digging in Egypt, pp. 91-92); In 1898 AD, the Harpers Dictionary of Classical Antiquities described the structure as "the largest of all the temples of Egypt, the so-called Labyrinth, of which, however, only the foundation stones have been preserved."[9]:
The notorious Erich von Däniken believes that the Labyrinth is yet to be discovered and is "waiting for a modern-day Heinrich Schliemann." On this, for once, he may be right. He further posits that it is "located seven days' journey up the Nile, on the Libyan side, a little above the city of Memphis, at the entrance of the canal into Lake Moeris. The lake extended in a north-south direction and was situated in the Arsinoe region. Also, the canal feeding the lake was connected to the Nile and was regulated by locks and dams." (The Eyes of the Sphinx, 1996, page 111) The lake and canal have long been dry, von Däniken is certain, though traces of these should be evident from the air.
The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | Date: 2008 - abyrinth; intricate building of chambers and passages, often constructed so as to perplex and confuse a person inside. In Egypt, Amenemhet III of the XII dynasty built himself a funeral temple in the form of a great labyrinth near Lake Moeris.

- An Account of Egypt by Herodotus Translated by G. C. Macaulay "HERODOTUS was born at Halicarnassus, on the southwest coast of Asia Minor, in the early part of the fifth century, BC. He died in 424 BC. Herodotus had a philosophy of history. He was known as the father of history. The work of Herodotus. is the first artistic work in prose that Greek literature produced. The men of Heliopolis are said to be the most learned in records of the Egyptians. (page 9) It is certain that in old times Thebes had the name of Egypt."(page 23)
