New iPod eBook Reader?

What will iPod do for its Act II? Is it possible that the iPod reader will be available soon? The Apple iPod to the market by storm and sold millions of units around the world and they will need another product soon to keep this going strong and there are many software developers who are looking to help themselves to future riches.

Possible new iPod eBook reader? Very interesting developments on the horizon indeed; Imagine being able to download a blog, which would read to you? Like an audio book, but one of millions of e-books now available? Such a new development would turn the paper book market on its head, as more and more people would off for a bond yield e-books via iPod.

The iPod would have to have bigger screens to display the words, as well as audio features. This would be a great new advancement for those who cannot read and for those who are blind or partially sighted.

Recently someone let the cat out of the bag and to hold of a future iPod reader that was being developed and could soon come to market, which would change the world.

Imagine being on an airplane and just leaning back and thinking while the iPod reader read you an entire book or novel? That would be something and it may be in our future. Please consider all this in 2006.

Crafting a Memoir

What is a memoir? Let’s begin by stating what a memoir is not: It is not a genealogy—an outline of ancestors; nor is it, in the strict sense, an autobiography—a chronological account of a person’s life. It is a collection of memories; hence, the word—memoir. Agatha Christie’s memoir was titled, An Autobiography, but she wasn’t particularly pleased with the title. She wrote in the Preface: "Autobiography is too grand a word. It suggests a purposeful study of one’s whole life. … What I want is to plunge my hand into a lucky dip and come up with a handful of assorted memories." That’s what you, the writer, must aim for—a lucky dip.

You may not be a famous writer (yet), or wealthy or powerful; and your memoir may never “sell” to the book market. That doesn’t matter. Your life is important. It is part of history. No one else will have lived exactly as you lived; nor have viewed life from your perspective. Your children, grandchildren, and maybe someone you’ll never know—someone born 50 or more years from now—will be glad you wrote your memoir. Don’t you wish you had such a memory book written by your great-grandfather, your grandmother, or even your mother?

A few years ago, I compiled my book of memories. It was a private publication, intended only for friends and family. My adult children treasure it. I did not begin with, "I was born on …" and write to the bitter end with boring chronology. I divided it into events, such as "World War II—A Child’s-Eye View," "My Cooking" (I’m a terrible cook!), "Things I Want to Do Before I Die," and many more. My children learned some things they never knew about me in "Crushes, Near Misses, and Love."

As you begin to write, think about stories and incidents rather than dates and places. Consider values, beliefs, opinions and quirky little habits. Think of your life as a child’s coloring book—all of the pictures and stories are there in outline form; they only need to be completed with your word-crayons. To jump-start your memories, gather your photos, letters, certificates and other documents, sort them, and make notes. Write simple descriptions of special memories such as "My Best Friend" or "Why I Love to Dance." Perfection and organization will come later.

This is a big project. You won’t complete it in a few weeks. Maybe not even in a few months. But it will be your most important writing project. Ever. So pick up your word-crayons and begin coloring!

Forex Education - The Way of the Turtle

Many years ago, I read the story of the turtles in the book “Market Wizards”. I was fascinated to read how the legendary trader Richard Dennis, trained a group of novice traders in just 14 days – and how these novices later became trading legends themselves.

Now we have a book written by one of the turtles themselves. “The Way of the Turtle” by Curtis M. Faith. This turtle and author made $30 million for Dennis - and now shares his insight of the turtle experiment and its achievements

The Bet

In 1983, Richard Dennis had a bet with his long-time friend William Eckhardt. They had a friendly dispute on whether traders were born, or could be taught to be successful. Dennis thought they could be taught, but Eckhardt thought they couldn’t.

The turtle experiment took place - and Dennis won. The turtles achieved a collective compound rate of return of over 80%. This group of 23 traders had never traded before, yet were taught to trade a system in just 14 days.

“Way of the Turtle” reveals the reasons for their success, and covers such areas as:

. The system rules and methodology

. Why, even though they used the same method, some Turtles were more successful than the others were.

. How to expand the rules that the Turtles used - in order to find core strategies that work for any tradable market.

. How to apply the Turtle methods to your own trading strategy.

. Ways to diversify your trading risk

The “Way of the Turtle is a good book - being easy, and fun to read. The book throws up one key fact that all forex traders should note in their forex education: Simple trading systems can provide a trading edge, but it’s psychologically difficult for most traders to follow these systems and take advantage of the edge the system can provide. This is clearly shown by the fact the Turtle’s results varied (despite the fact they all were taught the same methodology).

There’s also a discussion on the difficulty of executing a system that has a few big winning trades, in order to achieve an overall positive return on investment.

If you learn one key fact from the book, it’s that learning a successful trading system is not enough. You need the mental discipline to execute the system correctly - in order to maximize your returns.

I’ve always found the experiment an inspiration, and I’m sure other traders who read this book will come away thinking, “they did it - so it’s possible!”

It’s possible to become a successful trader if you gain the right knowledge – but you also need courage and discipline, in order to execute the knowledge correctly.

You may not be as successful as the turtles were – but the book will point you in the right direction, to achieving currency-trading success. The book does this by highlighting some key areas you need to apply in your own forex trading strategy, in order to become a successful currency trader.

“Way of the Turtle” is well worth buying - and you should consider it to be an essential read, and part of your forex education.

How to Make Big Profits with Currency Trading Systems

Currency trading systems have become more popular than ever in recent years.

Here we will look at the advantages of currency trading systems and how to pick one that's right for you.

Trend Following the Key to Big Profits

As economic cycles of boom and bust take years, so do currency trends that mirror the health of the economy.

Traders who can spot and lock into these trends can make substantial profits.

The major currencies traded include:

US Dollar

Japanese Yen

Euro

British Pound

These currencies have good trends, and have high liquidity - which is essential when exiting markets quickly to lock in profits and more importantly, cut losses.

A Disciplined Approach to Trading Profits

Currency trading systems remove the emotional component from trading, which is the major reason most traders lose.

A currency trading system has no emotions, will trade in a mechanical disciplined fashion, cutting losses and running the big profitable trends for maximum long-term profitability.

Emotions - The #1 Major Reason Traders Lose

The definitive book on the subject was Edwin Le Feuvre's, 'Reminiscences of a Stock Operator', which was based on the trading experiences of legendary trader Jessie Livermore.

If you don't think emotions will interfere with your trading then you need to read it!

Other authors to discuss trading systems and emotions include: Jake Bernstein, Larry Williams and Jack Shwager and the latter's book "Market Wizards" is essential reading for any trader.

Just how effective a system can be was proved by "The Turtles", a group of traders who had never traded before, but who all were given access to a system and went on to make millions of dollars.

Technical Analysis

The developments in terms of computer software and the growth of the Net have seen system trading reach a wider audience than ever before.

For example, packages such as Tradestation and Supercharts, allow traders to build and test their own systems using technical indicators such as stochastics, bollinger bands, moving averages and candlestick charting patterns.

You can test these indicators in various combinations over historical data to see which combinations are successful. Traders who do not wish to do this able to buy ready made packages from vendors.

Finding a Technical Trading System that Makes Big Profits

If you choose to buy a ready-made currency system, these six guidelines will help you.

1. Understand the basis of the logic of the system. If you don't understand and believe in the logic, you will not have the discipline to follow it.

2. The system should aim to catch the long-term trends; day trading currencies has less probability of success than long term trading.

3. Simple systems tend to work best, as they are more robust in the face of changing market conditions. There is no link in currency trading systems between complexity of systems and their success.

4. Look at the maximum drawdown from peak equity. This is important in terms of money management, as you need to expect your biggest drawdown is ahead and commit sufficient funds to cover these downturns.

5. Not all systems come with real trading records; they can come with simulations over historical data. Don't discount simulations; if the basis is soundly based logic then they can still work well.

6. Finally, judge a system over years not months. All systems can and do have periods of losses.

Currency trading systems give anyone the potential to make big profits in the currency markets.

George Orwell, Author of 1984

The High School English Literature Curriculum

Who was George Orwell, the author of 1984?

George Orwell's real name was Eric Arthur Blair.

He was born in Bengal, India in 1903. His father was an opium agent and worked for the Indian Civil Service. When he was four years old, his family returned to England. He attended the Anglican national school at Henley and later St Cyprian's school in Sussex. Possibly due to the strict regime of these schools, he wrote some anti-authoritarian works including 'Awake! Young Men of England'.

When he was fourteen, he won a scholarship to Eton College and made a name for himself as a contributor to many college publications. One of his teachers at Eton was the famous author Aldous Huxley (Brave New World).

At the age of nineteen, he joined the Burmese police and spent five years there. Although he enjoyed his time in Burma, he became disillusioned with the cloak of Imperialism and this may also have inspired his anti authoritarian views later expressed. On his return from Burma he moved to Paris and started to write short stories but success eluded him. Most of his work was rejected by the publishers.

He contracted pneumonia in 1928, an illness which weakened him considerably. After recovering, he returned to England in 1929, when he was twenty-six, and lived on the bread line for a couple of years as he wanted to experience the tough living conditions of the under privileged. To protect his family's reputation, he adopted the penname George Orwell.

Subsequently he got a job as a sales assistant in a bookshop in London while continuing to write in his spare time. He married in 1936 and he and his wife went to Spain at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War to fight against General Franco's Nationalist party. He sustained a neck wound during the war. After the war, both he and his wife joined a Marxist party in Barcelona and were fortunate not to have been arrested or worse.

He returned to England in 1937 and from this period onwards his writing career became more productive. After a number of successful publications and several salaried jobs later including a broadcasting career with the BBC, George Orwell's legendary novel 'Animal Farm' was published in 1944. Although suffering from tuberculosis, and attending a sanatorium, he labored with his final novel, 1984, originally entitled 'Last man in Europe' and this remarkable book was published in 1949. He died a year later from tuberculosis at the age of 47.

1984, A synopsis

George Orwell depicts a gray, totalitarian world dominated by Big Brother and its vast network of agents, including the Thought Police, a world in which news is manufactured according to the authorities' will and people live tepid lives by rote.

Winston Smith, the hero with no heroic qualities, longs only for truth and decency. But living in a social system in which privacy does not exist and where those with unorthodox ideas are brainwashed or put to death, he knows there is no hope for him.

The year 1984 has come and gone, yet George Orwell's nightmare vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is still the great modern classic of negative Utopia

My Favorite Children's Encyclopedia

There are many different encyclopedias on the market. Some of them are so beautiful that I can’t say no when I’m seeing it on the bookstore. When I’m buying encyclopedias I have always on my mind my kids. They are so happy because they love to leaf through different types of encyclopedias.

Their favorite encyclopedia is “Children’s Illustrated Encyclopedia” from Dorling Kindersley. Dorling Kindersley (DK) is an international publishing
company specializing in reference books for adults and children. Books are known for their pictorial style. It’s also very helpful especially when my kids doing their homework. Sometimes they are doing different projects such as posters which they have to present in front of the class. All the parents of teenagers I know complain about the extent and complexity of the homework projects their children are required to do, but on the other side is so beautiful felling when I’m doing homework with my kids together and when I’m helping them to discover different subjects. I really love to help them. I teaching them and believe me, they are also teaching me.

We have many different encyclopedias in our home. As I said the favorite encyclopedia for my kids is “Children’s Illustrated Encyclopedia” but they love others encyclopedias as well. They love to reading encyclopedia of Animals, Earth, Human….All of them is from Dorling Kindersley and because I’m so enthusiastic about their books I’ve decided to setup special web site where I’m presenting their encyclopedias.
