The "Rich Dad Poor Dad" author urged investors to be bold and buy discounted assets during a crash. Robert Kiyosaki expects stocks, bitcoin, gold, silver, and real estate to plummet in price. So I buy BTC at $20, gold at $250, silver at $10? I will be waiting haha. Replaced it with the link with the following summary.

Past doesn't predict future so who knows. Gold dominated in the 1970s and 2000s, when stocks went no where. What is unprecedented is the amount of debt. Oh we've had this happen before, the 1970s.

Everyone seems to have had something to say about oaks, in a way that I doubt they did for ash or elm. These work well and the author did a good job of weaving them into the text in a useful and functional way. Scattered through this book are examples of oak trees cropping up in literature and myth over the centuries and back further. Luckily, the Honeywood Oak has James Canton to speak for it. It is like an old soldier/airman/sailor, the last of its generation, once a stripling, having seen a lot of life and a lot of change, but rather reticent about talking about it. The Honywood Oak in Essex is around 800 years old (its reach back to the Magna Carta is quite a thought) and a remnant of a larger ancient oak woodland, almost all of which was felled for timber in the 1950s (and there are some gossipy tales about the motivation for that clearance). I enjoyed this book, more and more as I read through it, but, to be honest there is a little too much communing with trees and giving them a hug for my taste. I came across this book when it was reviewed by the incomparable John Riutta – it seems odd to learn of a book about an oak tree in Essex from a resident of Oregon, but there you go! And after my mention of it here on a Sunday I was most impressed that someone in Canongate had offered me a copy of the book before 10am on Monday morning. In one instance, they even broke off over a silly reason about bill payment.īruno had planned a romantic date for Carla, and when the bill came, she wanted to pay, which he didn’t like and insisted that he pays because he is a man. Though she was camera-shy and preferred to stay out of frame, we got glimpses of their relationship turning downhill. Bruno Bettencourt had battled with anger issues since childhood, which caused several rifts in his relationship with Carla. What started as a mere attraction soon became something much more serious however, their relationship was not free from struggles. The pair shared adorable moments together where Bruno reportedly said on the show that he loved kissing her and “Carla is a better kisser than Sylvia.” Though fans speculated the Carla phase to be a mere fling, the pair proved it to be wrong and showed their audiences that they were in it for the long haul. Bruno and Carla reportedly met each other in a bar one night back in 2014, and the pair formed a real connection. The two had a good time till Carla Duco entered the picture. Bruno and Carla’s Real World: Skeletons Journeyīruno Bettencourt appeared to have spiced things up in the house with co-star Sylvia when he first entered the house. Although it’s not necessarily unusual to eat vegetarian in South Korea, it is rather unusual for someone to declare themselves vegetarian. Cheong does not take this news too kindly, especially as Yeong-hye gives him no more concrete explanation for her sudden change of diet than “I had a dream”. 3).Īll this is disrupted, however, when Yeong-hye (whom Cheong refers to only as “my wife”, never by name) suddenly decides to stop eating meat, and throws all animal products out of the house. There was no need to affect intellectual leanings in order to win her over, or to worry that she might be comparing me to the preening men who pose in fashion catalogues, and she didn’t get worked up if I happened to be late for one of our meetings (p. The passive personality of this woman in whom I could detect neither freshness nor charm, or anything especially refined, suited me down to the ground. The first part introduces us to a Mr Cheong, who likes a nicely ordered existence, and was pleased to have found a wife who facilitated that: Each part is told from the viewpoint of a different character – none of whom is the titular vegetarian herself. The first of Korean writer Han Kang’s books to be widely available (in Deborah Smith’s superb translation) to English-speaking audiences, The Vegetarian was originally published as three separate novellas, then as the original novel in 2007. New York Governor Horatio Seymour described the Proclamation as a "bloody, barbarous, revolutionary, and unconstitutional scheme." In October and November, Republicans suffered electoral losses in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, New York, and New Jersey. Radical abolitionists scorned the Proclamation. Others denounced Lincoln for stirring up anarchy or race war. Some worried that this rash act would set off an uprising within the Union armies. There was a storm of reaction to the Proclamation. This is the document (you can read it in Lincoln's hand at their website) in which Abraham Lincoln, as "President of the United States of America, and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy thereof," proclaimed on September 22, 1862, "That on the first day of January in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any state, or designated part of a state, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free." Since 1865, the New York state library has been the proud owner of the original Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation.

The analogy between the composition of Lily’s painting and the narrative structure of Woolf s verbal text, not always explicitly verbalized or even accredited, has led to readings of the narrative structure of To the Lighthouse as es¬ sentially dual, the center section functioning as either a sepa¬ rating space or synthesizing hinge. Lily Briscoe’s painting on which, on the last page of the novel, she solves its composition (“the question of some relation between those masses”) by drawing a line in the cen¬ ter (200) is often taken as a convenient icon for the narrative structure and the thematic significance of To the Lighthouse, wherein the shorter Part II, “Time Passes,” stands for the cen¬ ter line which at once separates and binds Part I, “The Win¬ dow,” to Part III, “The Lighthouse.” The foreshortened ten years of Part II accounted, Woolfs work narrates portions of two days in the lives of the Ramsay family and its circle of friends.1 This narrative of a few hours recounts the Ramsay family saga and its relations in the spaces of personal and cosmic time.
