The Bible, Koran, saint scripts and modern marketing – have some thing in common, It’s a written text, that creates and understanding, that is able to effectively create reactions to stimuli and control the choices people make. The Bible is an incredible one. How would you like to have people, who are willing ti kill them selves for your product? who are willing to fight, live and die according to the rules the allow you to take up the top position in the structure? Be the Pope of selling..?

Most of us, believe money makes the world go round. You get money for being useful, you buy what you need for it and you can’t live without it. Truth is – our beliefs are what drive us. And beliefs can be modified. Modified to the point where a few cents worth of perfume is sold for hundreds of dollars, where a few bucks worth of clothing – can be sold for thousands, where people protect their beliefs with guns and even sacrifice them selves to stop the fighting. Beliefs can be modified to any thing you want them to be…

Our brain, our emotional centers, our cognitive functions – are just a result of surrounding stimuli interpretation, through witch we begin to “understand” and confirm our understandings. Let’s not get too far, this is not “The Matrix”, It is undoubtedly hard to prove to a person, that he is able to fly and will be OK if he jumps out a window – but it plausible. We are restricted from branching our understanding of the way things are understood, usually by hitting a wall of “meaningfulness” if we get any closer to real reality. We live in a constant struggle to satisfy our subconscious needs, while making conscious decisions, using this huge organism of cells we call the body to interact the surroundings in a way that will reward us… And the reward – is what you sell.

What would you like to sell..? Perhaps, if this concept is fully understood, we will be able to buy the very soul of the devil.

The program Biblionet were trained over 190 librarians in using electronic resources. Biblionet program is the largest investment for a public institution in Romania from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

“Reducing the digital divide and increase access to the Internet network are the most important steps that Romania  have to make in the coming period” said Communication Minister Valerian Vreme.

The program will run for a period of five years and aims to facilitate access to information by introducing modern technology in public libraries.

Vampires are everywhere on t.v. screens, from the Twilight movies to t.v. series such as The Gates, True Blood, Vampire Dairies, Valemont and Sanctuary.

Why is the world so obsessed with the walking dead? Is it because of their power and speed, or maybe the aspect of being immortal? Vampires are nowadays are not known as evil scary emotionless bloodsuckers as they were known to be in the past. They are now being glamorized as beings with emotions and sensitivity in the Twilight movies. Kids watch these mind-polluting t.v. programs and develop a desire to become like vampires. They beg their moms and dads to buy merchandise with their favorite character’s face printed on them, and their foolish parents actually do!

Vampires are demons, the human soul has left the body and something sinister and evil now inhabits the corpse and yearns for human blood. Something like that has no feelings of love and gentle emotions. Why would anyone in their right mind want to become a vampire!

I don’t know if vampires do exist or not, but this sudden influx of vampire t.v. shows makes me speculate that some Hollywood executives really are vampires and they’re trying to de-sensitize us to pure evil!

The huge talk which Steve Jobs caused was mainly due to his large restraint of spending, and the desire to live in a modest house of his wealth. According to US architect Christopher Travis, he has shown an unnatural restraint for a person of his wealth, and has said he has given specific instructions to make the house utilitarian, sparse, plain and simple.

In the new house, it features a network of stone pathways, a 3 car garage and a private vegetable garden.

Compare this with Bill Gates, who lives in a $152.5 million dollar mansion whereas Steve Jobs plans to live in a  mere $8.75 million dollar house. Another noticeable fact is that the architectural firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson is also the same company that designed many of Apple’s most iconic buildings, most notably, the Apple Store Cube. 

But the controversy around this radical shakeup of Steve Job’s life is that it involves the demolition of the historical mansion, built in the 1920s that used to house the CEO. The mansion was built as a Spanish colonial revival home for one of the most wealthy copper barons in Spanish history. Steve Jobs has only recently won a 6 year battle against heritage groups for the right to demolish the house.

Bill Gates tops the list again and is worth over 54 Billion dollars for his efforts put toward Microsoft. The famous Software Engineer is credited as the Richest Geek of all time for being in the right place at the right time. Today Microsoft influences almost every computer known asside from his Apple Competitors. For helping influence man’s understanding of Robot, he has been rewarded with the title of Richest Man in America.

Have you ever wondered why gates were built during the medieval times and what are those famous gates? This compact article will answer those questions.

Amsterdamse Poort

The last remnant of Haarlem’s mediaeval defensive walls,  Amsterdamse Poort is located in the east side of the town proper on the old road to Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It was originally built in 1355. By the mid-19th century, the gate was so dilapidated that the city government wanted to demolish the gate. However, city council used it to store weapons. In the 1960s the gate was declared a  listed building.  In 1985, the gate was completely renovated.

Jaffa Gate

The Jaffa Gate is a stone gateway in the historic walls of Jerusalem’s Old City. It was built by Suleiman in 1538 and one of eight gates to the Old City. In ancient times, the gate opens to a road, Jaffa Street that lead to the port city of Jaffa, which is now just on the southern tip of Tel Aviv. The gate on the western side of the Old City marked the end of the highway leading from the Jaffa coast and now leads into the Muslim and Armenian quarters. One of the entrances to the Arab marketplace is just inside the Jaffa Gate. In 1898, a road was built that allows cars to enter the Old City through a wide gap in the wall between Jaffa Gate and the Citadel.

Sather Gate

Sather Gate is a famous marker at the University of California, Berkeley campus. It was completed in 1910, thanks to Jane K. Sather, a sponsor of the university, who donated the gate. Originally, the gate was designed as a separating structure between Sproul Plaza and the bridge over Strawberry Creek, that leads to the campus main ground. Eight panels adorns the gate‘s top: four figure of nude men that embody the disciplines of law, letters, medicine, and mining, and four figure of nude women that embody the disciplines of agriculture, architecture, art, and electricity.

Brandenburg Gate

The Brandenburg Gate, located on the Pariser Platza, is the only remaining gate where people can enter Berlin. Its magnificent triumphal arch truly symbolizes Berlin, Germany. Just a corner to its north is the Reichstag. It represents the colossal termination of Unter den Linden, the famous boulevard that lead straight to the royal residence.

Downing Street gates

On 11 November 1920, the first barriers in Downing Street were built at the St. James’s Park for the purpose of preventing the crowds in Whitehall from swelling.  In 1922, the Irish free State was created thus the barriers were brought down to accommodate vehicular access of the place. In 1973, metal barriers were erected across the entrance to the street thus reducing vehicular access. In 1982 access was more fully restricted with railings and a demountable gate was installed. In 1989, large black steel gates were erected at the entrance of Downing Street to protect the Prime Minister (then Margaret Thatcher) from terrorist attack, particularly from the Provisional IRA. In 2003, work to strengthen the foundations of the gates was carried out.

Gates of Cairo

The Egyptian city of Cairo has, in its history, had a major number of fortified gates protecting both the inner and outer city. Those gates were built not only defend the country against enemies, but were there also for management and administrative purposes. Saladin El-Ayoubi built the third wall in 1171. He wanted to surround Cairo with one wall and connecting its neighboring suburbs with gates. Unfortunately, this dream didn’t materialized due to Saladin’s death. Some of Cairo Gates still exist and others are no more. Among these gates includes: Bab El-Metwali, Bab Zuweila, Bab El Qantara, Bab El Qela, Bab Qasr El Selehdar, Bab Qayet Bei among others.

Completed in 1398 during the Joseon Dynasty, the gate used to greet foreign emissaries, control access to Seoul and keep out Korean tigers. It was originally one of three main gates, the others being the East Gate (Dongdaemun) and the now-demolished West Gate in the Seodaemun-gu district. Before the 2008 fire, Namdaemun was the oldest wooden structure in Seoul. The city gate, made of wood and stone with a two-tiered, pagoda-shaped tiled roof.

The race for the richest man in the world is increasingly getting very tight in recent years.

Gone are the days when the Microsoft Super Billionaire, Bill Gates used to be the undisputed richest man in the range of $54 billion in assets. Over the years, this has changed as new names have continued to surface on the list of the world’s richest individuals. According to the most recent Forbes Magazine Report, Carlos Slim, Mexican businessman was topping the charts with an estimated $59 Billion.

Shortly after this record, Warren Buffet toppled Carlos Slim to claim the top spot with $62 billion, pushing Bill Gates to the third place. This shows that these guys actually aren’t contented with what they have. It is the natural science of wealth, which always drives those who have not to settle down to enjoy what they have already amassed but continue incessantly to want to have more.

In Africa, some of the richest men are also beginning to show up-unfortunately, these lots are men and women who have ill gotten wealth. They steal taxpayers’ money directly from the government coffers and boast about as rich, hard workingmen.

Whereas men on the chart of world’s rich work for their money, in Africa, being a President, minister a bureaucrat or the fast family is a sure way to becoming a millionaire or even a billionaire. Go to Nigeria, Libya, Uganda, Kenya, the Congo, Angola and you see exactly what I mean.

I hope the Forbes Magazine doesn’t have to list these thieves because theirs is ill gotten wealth.

Small business  as representative individual genomic compliments were at the heart of the 18th century economist Adam Smith’s paradigm for the best recombinant criterion for individual construction of business. Self-interest in sexual reproduction in business would evolve the best form of human social environment, while directed evolution under the aristocratic power of kings or de facto adverse, oppressive organization would reinforce economies primarily existing to enrich the rich and empower the powerful. Such an impingement upon sexuality in business combination would impair both the individual genomic interests and the health of business diversity so viral for the natural selection of variation and intelligence adaptable to existential macro and micro-economic challenges.

Today, large corporations with more than 2000 employees and stockholders with investments in more than three corporations create a homosexuality within the business and economic environment reducing the diversity of recombination through sexual reproductive business freedom. Reduction of the economic  genomic endowment of the species is a consequence of the inbreeding of mass social business organizations driving invention, innovation and self-interest into submission to the macro-goal of corporate profit or communist party leadership cadre goals.

Corporatism has ecological as well as individual business sexual genomic mal-effects. Corporatism’s goal increasing profits for a social minority present an implicit attack upon natural resources that may be considered finite on Earth and an extended support system for all individual genomic compliments. Corporate globalism acts implicitly as a retrovirus upon the total complex compresent genomic compliment of humanity,

As large organizations reduce sexual business diversity, they also increase the empirical draft of resources to support corporate goals. The homosexual corporate leadership reinforces a continuing degradation of the human business sexual reproductivity that should flourish at individual and small business levels when free of the overpowering impact of control imposed by the homosexual global corporate matrix.

Adam Smith’s capitalist paradigm may evolve into a fulfillment of Marx’s dialectical materialism supplanting sexual reproduction with a vast, sucking homosexual attack upon creativity and environment. That seems a reasonable criteria for the construction of a world moving toward Armageddon consolidated within a few political-economic blocks under the authority of an anti-Christ amused to observe from the reconstructed Temple at Jerusalem. The Gates to hell are broad and many will be the governments that trod in the herd for oblivion. Vast resource intake requirements for expansion of global corporatism dull  freedom and sensitivity in conservation of natural resource use. Within small organizations;  sexually reproductive business genomes adaptable, and relieved from superfluously oppressive natural selection pressures, genomic recombinations of business innovations can evolve at an accelerated pace.

Citizens should be free to do business without the homosexual competition of corporations of more than 2000 employees. Democracy should vote on what mass resource use should be allowed before selecting how to best uses resources within the constellation of small businesses. Small businesses would bid ideas for actualization within a competitive political environment implicitly without the special interest and corrupting corporatist influence of organizations of more than 2000 employees. With more ideas and business concepts, democracies could elect the best for business actualization and pay a compensating (kill fee) fee for the rest of the finalists. New ideas should proceed from individual small business sexual creativity rather than be forced from the Gates of Hell and the anti-Christ’s desire for global homosexualization in totalitarianism of the Earth’s populace.

The point I’m getting to is, take a child star like Britney Spears. At the age of 8, after being said ‘no’ from The New Mickey Mouse Club, she went on to do a lot of Broadway performances and finally, at 11, ending up in The New Mickey Mouse Club. Ever since she was a child, Britney has tasted every corner of success, drenching herself in the success she’s received. Her success is determined by the fact that ever since she was a child, she was destined to be a popular name. Now, at 28, Britney isn’t quite as cutesy as everyone used to imagine her as. Now, we associate Britney as someone who struggles to keep on track in terms of where her pop star career is concerned. Even though at the end of the day, Britney is still one of the world’s most popular people, bad blotches in her past don’t always make her everyone’s favourite. You could blame this on multiple things, but I think the starting step to her steady downfall was the success she first acquired.

Take another instance, Bill Gates. At 13, he coded his first software program. Tic-tac-toe. Later on, he continued to show his IT prowess by joining a company dealing with traffic counters. At 18, he became a congressional page at the U.S. House of Representatives, the year when he graduated from his school with a 1590 out of 1600 in his SATs. From the very start, Bill hasn’t been bathed in eternal success but he has had his success and that has only made him stronger. Despite the glitches he’s had in his past which included being banned from using computers due to violation through the exploitation of bugs in the system, he still made himself a pretty successful future and is today, one of the worlds well known IT and business brains. Today, we associate him as a powerful man, rich and one of the most deserving individuals. You could say this is to do with multiple things, but I think the starting step to his steady financial power is due to the success he first acquired.

Success makes you who you are. When success hits you young, you make it and you build it. You turn it into the way you want it to be. No one is going to enjoy the aftermath of success as much as you are. As a young individual myself, I know that there have been times when I have been successful. For example, ever had that experience when you did exceptionally well in an exam, and you just because so over-confident with the success you achieved that the next exam you had, you did considerably worse? Well, that happened to me. And there hasn’t been a better kick in the backside than that. For me, success is earning a lot more on Triond the next month than I did the last month. For me, success is being able to get into a good university and do the degree I want to. For me, success is me being able to slowly build the Jenga that will construct the aftermath of the success if I achieve passing my A Levels. Success can make or break you. What you pick to do, is completely up to you. We waste so much time in trying to achieve success that we don’t prepare ourselves for when we actually do achieve it and the time after that. So, what is success for you?
