Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them”.

- Act II, Scene V, Twelfth Night (William Shakespeare)

These lines of William Shakespeare looked meaningful while writing about Tennis Star Sania Mirza. Her online horoscope indicates that the dasa of yogakaraka Venus was running at the time of birth. Her supportive parents also helped her become a female tennis superstar of India. Born to parents, father Imran Mirza, a sports journalist and mother Nasima, it was her father Imran who initiated her into the game and always encouraged her to be the best.

The young Indian women tennis sensation, Sania Mirza, was born in Mumbai on November 15, 1986. Presently, the highest ranked Indian in the game, she started playing Tennis at the tender age of six at the Nizam club in Hyderabad.

The details of her horoscope are as follows:

The lagna rising is Capricorn.

Exalted Mars is placed in Lagna.

Jupiter is placed in the 2nd house

Rahu is placed in the 3rd house

Moon is placed in 4th house

Ketu is placed in 9th house

Sun, retrograde Mercury and retrograde Venus are placed in the 10th house

Saturn is placed in the 11th house

There are powerful yogas in her horoscope. The prominent among these is “Ruchaka Yoga” (Panch Mahapurusha yoga) formed by the placement of exalted Mars in Lagna. This yoga makes her a good sportsperson and gives her an aggressive temperament in pursuing her game.

“Malavya Yoga” is formed by the placement of Venus in its own sign in the 10th house. It is also a prominent Panch Mahapurusha yoga. This combination makes her spiritually inclined and conversant in spiritual text. As per reports, she is very religious and never misses her daily prayers and Quran reading. This combination also gives her name, fame, money and popularity.

“Budha- Aditya Yoga” is also formed in her horoscope by the conjunction of Sun and Mercury. This makes her a person of sharp intellect. There are other yogas like Neech Bhanga Rajya Yoga and Vipreet Rajya Yoga in the horoscope signifying her capability to fight back all odds and emerge as a winner. There is formation of Karma Dharam Adhipati Rajya Yoga and Dhan Yoga making her successful in her career and also giving her good luck with respect to finances. Rahu and Saturn are also well placed in 3rd and the 11th house respectively.

However, the horoscope suffers from Manglik dosha (formed by placement of Mars in the Lagna) causing issues relating to marital life, Kemdrum yoga (formed because of no planet on either side of Moon other than Rahu and Ketu), causing loneliness in personal life.

She was born in the Mahadasa of Venus that happens to be yogakaraka planet for her. The placement of Venus in the 10th house forms both Karma-Dharam Adhipati Rajya Yoga and Malavya Yoga which were instrumental in early start of her career. She started playing tennis when she was barely 6 years of age. She played her first international tournament in 1999 when she represented India at the World Junior Championship at Jakarta when she was about 12 years of age.

A big boost came in 2002 when Paes decided to take her as his mixed doubles partner at the Asian Games. The duo went on to claim the bronze medal. The rise has been steady since then. In 2003, Sania at 16years did India proud by becoming the youngest and first ever Indian to figure in the main draw of the girls’ doubles junior Wimbledon tennis championship and winning the Grand Slam title. Her achievements in sports front has been numerous, the information given above are only indicative to justify the promises of her horoscope.

Sania Mirza has been recently in news because of her engagement with her childhood friend Sohrab Mirza. She exchanged rings with Sohrab in Hyderabad on Friday, 10th July 2009.

If we analyze her relationship astrology ,then we found that at the time of ring ceremony, the 7th lord Moon was afflicted by Rahu and the 7th house was in Pap-Kartari. This indicates that the couple may undergo severe ups and downs in their relationship.

Exalted Mars in Lagna (in natal horoscope) makes her dominating by nature. The placement of 7th lord Moon in 4th house makes her enjoy family life also. Over-expectations from each other can become source of tension. Hence, the couple should seek marriage counseling from time to time and should not let any issue in their life unattended for long.

If your photo does not look pretty as you hope, may need to touch Qbonk. Business lifestyle is a promising business. One part of the business is a lifestyle image. 

How not promising, if almost every one, must have more than one photo. Either stored in hidden fold wallet, installed in the house walls, or stored neatly in a photo album. 

Moreover, the young metropolis of the city. The very large and have many needs for budget lifestyle. This is the market targeted by Qbonk as target customers. As presented by Veronika Lea, owner Qbonk.Com the manager at once. 

According to Lea, the young people will never stop or subside. In addition, ideas also inspired from the flare of  photo box entrance in mall. Many ABG (Teenagers), a common for teenagers who willingly queued to style and pose for photos in the photo IM box. 

In order to approach the youth, Lea in the plan this year will open outlets in shopping malls. Mal selected as a public space visited by many young people. 

MTV Takes woes and favors 

Bringing out a legendary novel favors, similar to the story of Lea also Veronika car racing hobby. For, as Qbonk at this time does not escape from the misery Lea. In fact, can be spelled out when Qbonk beginning with sadnessand suffering. 

Initially, Lea is an art director in several companies and film production house in Indonesia. Because  that hobby demon on the road, can not be denied sinister, in May 2002, an accident on the road. 

As a result, the Lea is seriously injured. Even have paralyzed for several months. Of course, this makes Lea shock. Drastic changes in living Lea started happening. From an art director who always mobile, to be a very static in bed. Even sleep can not only italics. 

Physical limitations that does not impede the soul’s creative Lea. Moreover, almost every day Lea can only watch television. Lea inspired by the animation and graphics that often appear in the MTV. 

Slow, Lea began to sit, can proceed with holding the mouse. “Achievement” which is very unusual is achieved early in 2004, or almost one year after the accident. 

This achievement, supported with a lot of inspiration from the television talent, assisted in the art of self-Lea, delivered the first paper. A greeting card happy anniversary with a unique design based vectors results Tracing. 

Lea also send home-made greeting cards that contain photos of friends in the form of vectors. Unique because, friends and book for their own needs. From the beginning of this order, Lea try run the extreme sport, Results of the paper, the birth order that come repeatedly. Order Qbonk first came from friends in the United States. 

Little by little, order began to come regularly. Increasing the order and of course omzet, not kill creative ideas Lea. Thus the number of order, forcing the focus Lea in the business at a time-variant variants develop new products. 

No wonder then if Qbonk.Com provide many variations of the output Tracing. Although based on the Tracing output images, but can be applied in various products. Start canvas bags, wall hours, mug, to a shirt. 

Finally, in early 2005, Lea work Qbonk serious. As evidence of her consistency, Lea recruit eight freelance designer and illustrator and one of the special handling and administration orders. 

Previously, Lea must do everything alone, just a secretary assisted the back office. For example, contract work, exhibition schedule, to the image you want to check in-Tracing. 

Now, the processing is done Lea Tracing only if there is any spare time in the middle busy. Most orders are now done by freelancers under Qbonk. However, it does not mean a lot of unemployed Lea, for quality control remain to be done by Lea itself. Moreover, almost all customers only know Lea as the only people who do all the orders for Tracing Qbonk.Com. 

Quality control in the hands of the Lea it also distinguishes between products Qbonk.Com with the product manufacturer, are made in the amount of bloodshed or many at once. 

For, according to Lea, each designer and freelance illustrator in Qbonk.Com has its own character. Therefore, Lea will check their own work in the freelance workers. 

Similarly for each type of order, each with its own techniques and a different touch to one another. For example, in the face and car images. Each must be done with a different touch. Effect of pattern and shadow of the face can not be equated with the aerodynamics of the car. 

Names and Unique Capital 

Name Qbonk indeed be unique, strange, and funny. Initially want to be named Mango, who was taken from the cartoons or Manga in Japanese. What if want to start a business, such as Lea? “Condition only two,” Leah answered. “First and second capital nekad never think delicate.” 

Nekad capital is what is required by entrepreneur. How do I not, if one cent without any capital, there is only one computer assembly only has to receive the order. 

Now, there are several sales agents Qbonk in and outside the country. Of them in Japan, Canada and the United States. Sales agents in foreign Qbonk held by Lea’s own friends. And indeed, most orders come from overseas. Especially Los Angeles, United States. 

According to Lea, this happens because of two reason. First, the west believes more transactions with the Internet or e-commerce, than the people of Indonesia. Second, the appreciation of the Indonesian people in the works of art not equal those abroad. 

Speaking of competition, Lea is very fair. Even he is willing to receive people who want to learn to dive before a similar business with Qbonk. For Lea, with no competitors, Qbonk.Com experience can stymie innovation. For, no more parties that can be used as benchmark or equal opponent. 

How to cheat 

Qbonk.Com How it works is simple. As the device is used. Do not imagine Qbonk using the Mac G5 or the like. Qbonk only rely on pure PC assembly. However, this can dimaklumi, because the key works of a design lies in the brainware or human resources. 

The first time every time the order is signed in the quality and feasibility of the examination file. File in the wishing-Tracing must meet several requirements. Of them, if the photo, the front face; if a file, minimum resolution of 300 x300 dpi (dot per inch); and if hardcopy, image does not dirty. To Qbonk.Com, this check is done by one person alone who have trust Lea. If the orders come from overseas or outside the city, the examination conducted by local agencies Qbonk.Com. 

Then, if still a hardcopy, softcopy order will be made with high resolution. After that, the color and dikalibrasi set ketajamannya. This process is called retouch. Results will be retouch this benchmark Tracing. Tracing the process can be read at the end of this paper (box: “About Tracing”). 

Tracing the results will be reviewed by Lea quality. Once approved, sent to the customer. Finally, after customers agree to a result, customers will get the results printed only, without softcopy. When there is order Tracing printed on the mug or other object, the result will also be included. 

For product variations, such as canvas bag or mug, Lea obtain from various sources in the country. Initially, for orders from abroad, Lea softcopy only send it to agents. By agents, softcopy is printed on the bag or kartupos and delivered to the customer. 

But then, based on the calculation of business, Lea decided to print all the product variations Tracing in Indonesia only. Because, the cost of production is much lower than abroad. Although the price of production in the country are still to be added to the charges that are not small. Local suppliers, the previously tested one by one, before deciding to choose the best one. 

Concerning the quality, mug and canvas cloth to locals, is still better than the imported products. No wonder if Lea deliberately choose local products. Moreover, the price is cheaper. 

Total time needed to carry out an order varies. Can be from one day to two weeks, not including shipping. For each order, and the characters have their own difficulties. No wonder if Lea limit orders received Qbonk.Com. In order to achieve the best quality, not Lea rarely reject the order if it is received only reduce the quality and sheer quantity hunt. Now, the average in order to reach the tens of designs in a variety of product variants. And customers from overseas are still occupying the top position in the number of customers. 

Corporate Market 

Other services provided by Qbonk.Com is Holay Pasemon. This service is intended for corporate or business class. Holay Pasemon own image manipulation service is to be cartoons that are similar to real images. The uniqueness of this product, each image has a role and have a character that is different because it is designed by different artists with one another. Typically, services are used to making short films special order. 

Wing Qbonk.Com more business with developing services that integrated marketing communication. This service includes the making of strategic planning, concept and design, construction, implementation and supervision, and evaluation. 

Qbonk.Com often also involved in creating animation for special projects. For example, change the building into a mock-animated presentation material as a construction company. 

Extent of the network business Lea seems important role in corporate marketing class. Not surprisingly, if Qbonk.Com also obtain exclusive rights hall of a mall in Jakarta as a great place when there are special exhibition event. 

Student Package 

Without lowering purchasing power means students, provide a package price Qbonk.Com students. This package allows customers of the students get results Tracing the price is relatively cheaper. Although the price is low, the risk does not mean the name of Lea Qbonk.Com. Because, the quality will remain a priority Qbonk.Com results. In addition, the target of the package the student is not a matter of course omzet. However, more preferably Lea education to land markets and widen customer segmentation. 

The price is very cheap, compared with rates even photo box. “Only one Rp45.000 to pose as the size of 4×6 cm 8 pieces,” said Lea. 

Breakthrough that is done by SMS Qbonk.Com Info. A service that allows mobile phone users to obtain the latest information about Qbonk.Com. Now, this service can still be accessed by users with a GSM operator Telkomsel (Halo, As, and Simpati). How, live Qbonk type and sent to 2229, and the burden of cost Rp500 per SMS. To attract customers, Qbonk.Com provide prizes for the lucky 50% discount form. 

Lea believes that this business will not die. Although the sequel is even IM Tracing process. For, according to Lea, technology is simply a tool. Tracing the process while the process is an art or works of art. Perpetrators, of course, an artist, not a programmer or computer operator stark. Of course, the results of each artist is different even though the exact same tool. 

Business development opportunities “plagiarism” as this is still wide open. No wonder if Lea had visions, when a, all offices will use the design-based vectors for all needs. Start a company logo to the greeting cards and letters. Figment of artists, creative entrepreneurs as well as Lea, more like obsession than speculation. 

And now Qbonk.Com open the opportunity to become agents. Condition easy and simple. As capital to establish Qbonk.Com. If you believe that, why not try to contact directly? Or would “improve” your face? Buruan deh, before the order was declined because the majority. 

ABOUT Tracing 

In computer graphics terminology, a set of vectors is the object in a particular line or shape that can be defined mathematically, fill color, and have a free resolution. Therefore, vectors can be enlarged in size without any loss of the resolution. Type of vector data, among others. Ai (Adobe Illustrator),. Fh (Macromedia Freehand),. CDR (CorelDraw),. Wmf (Windows Meta File),. EPS (Encapsulated PostScript),. Cgm (Computer Graphics Metafile), and others. 

While the object is a bitmap graphic is composed on the pixel. Each pixel or bit is often called in to load the object data information such as the color will be displayed. 

Unlike the vector that has a free resolution, bitmap has a fixed resolution. So when enlarged akan result in decreasing the sharpness of the resolution. Examples of bitmap is a JPEG, TIFF, GIF, PNG, PICT, BMP, and more. 

Nah, because the vector is far more superior, so the designers often make changes to the format into bitmap vectors. This process is usually called Tracing. Tracing this can be done with some applications. For example, Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand, Corel-Draw, or Xara X software such as special Tracing CorelTrace. 

Each software has advantages and disadvantages. For example, Freehand autotrace features in its software. So Tracing allows the user to automatically, with a fairly good detail. While Corel has a feature that very much, but feels heavy use. 

Tracing the process is done in a way to import the bitmap in the software-on software, then re-drawn with the outline of the form of the imported bitmap. After that, the new color be charging in accordance with the color bitmap logo that ditracing or tailored to the original color. 

There is also a user Tracing the process with a variety of software. For example, beginning with CorelDraw, because its path editing easy. Then after, the result ditracing to Adobe Illustrator for Coloring and finishing. 

Whatever the software used, all the Tracing always make a good end to the touch. Touch the end of this is done manually using Adobe Ilustrator or similar software. For example, to refine shadow effect, remove the parts that are not needed, and so forth. 

In addition to software, Tracing requires diligence requires capital and skills, as well as craftsmen.

The interview is your opportunity to do two equally important things. First, and most obviously, it’s your chance to move the company from an initial interest in you to a real desire to employ you. But secondly it is also your opportunity to assess whether you really want the job. It’s important to remember that the job may not be right for you. If you are out of work and desperate to resume your career it may be very difficult to make a dispassionate assessment, but you should try. Taking a job that isn’t right for you will eventually lead to failure, and you’ll be back where you started having wasted precious time and collected a hard-to-explain negative entry on your CV.

A job interview is a two-way selling process. You naturally want to sell yourself, but the company wants to sell itself. Please keep both these processes in mind throughout the preparations you make for the interview.

Your most important preparation should be a thorough re-examination of your research, and a careful assessment of what your strengths and weaknesses are as a possible holder of the job in question. You should be as realistic as you can, although there may very well be aspects of the job that don’t become clear before the interview, and your assessment will be incomplete.

Your strengths and weaknesses are very important, for two reasons. First, you will naturally want to bring your strengths out at interview, and it’s more likely that you will do so if you have thought about them in advance. But your weaknesses are also important. You use them to assess whether you really want the job. If the job turns out to lean heavily on your weaker areas rather than your strengths, you might find that you don’t enjoy it, and don’t do well at it.

At the interview itself it is unlikely that you will be asked directly about your strengths. The interviewer(s) will assume that you have pointed these out in your CV. However they may well ask you about your weaknesses. It is important that you answer this question honestly, fluently, and without completely ruining your chances of a job offer!

How to achieve these perhaps contradictory aims? Choose your weaknesses carefully! Don’t be negative about yourself. For example, if you don’t have experience of doing the job on offer, say something like;

“This job would be a step up for me. It’s a step I want to take, and I’m ready for it, but you need to be clear that I have not yet done precisely this job”.

Did you notice the key word “yet”?

With your display of honesty and confidence you are partway to converting a weakness (no experience of this job, at this level) into a strength (ambition, confidence, personal development potential).

Unfortunately all interviews are different, and the range of advice that could be given in an article like this is literally infinite. I’ll therefore make only one more observation. In the very specific circumstance that you are about to be interviewed in a language that is not your mother tongue, be aware of a whole range of additional pitfalls that await you.

Language is tricky, and there are very few people indeed who can be interviewed in a foreign language without making errors. You are going to make linguistic mistakes. Wrong words, poor structures, wrong register, cultural mistakes and more all lie in wait for the unwary interviewee. You must practice your interview with a native speaker, not once but several times, before you do it for real. The more important the potential job is for you, the more important is the practice.

If you are fortunate enough to live in Jakarta there is a friendly group of language professionals who can help you with the interview, and much more. Get in touch with AIM-  belajar bahasa inggris they can’t guarantee your success; in the end that’s up to you. But they can reduce the odds against you!

There are so many facets to contemplate when considering the subject of business and travel security. Every security expert worth his or her salt understands the different variations as almost stand alone security issues.

For example every single aspect of business and travel security presents its own unique problems. Airlines, flights, air travel, vacations, travel agents, travel tours, travel insurance, medical insurance, kidnap for ransom insurance, business insurance travel, holiday home security, backpacking, gap year travel all require some form of risk assessment and personal risk management to minimise security risks.

Business travel and business travel security encompasses everything designed to minimise the security risks to you, your family and/or your business associates. Threats are ever present and although every individual professional security expert operates in a permanent state of professional paranoia it is unrealistic to expect occasional travellers to act the same way. There are however many simple security strategies which every traveller can utilise to minimise the risks.

Once again the risks factors vary and are ever changing due to increased terrorist and organised criminal activities around the globe. When considering travel tours to politically hot spot destinations, the first priority has to be to purchase kidnap for ransom travel insurance from a security related brokerage. Most kidnap for ransom insurance or K&R insurance as it is known in security expert parlance is underwritten by Lloyds of London. It is a myth that kidnap for ransom insurance is only available for VIP’s and senior corporate executives. Due to the exponential increase in kidnap and the taking of hostages K&R insurance is available for everyday tourists and it is not as expensive as most people believe.

Your K&R insurance broker may stipulate certain security procedures must be undertaken to qualify you for cover. For example some insist on basic security awareness training. Depending on the country or countries you intend visiting they may insist that you participate in a 1 to 2 day close protection training programme run by professional bodyguard instructors. Elements of risk identification, risk assessment and risk management, advanced observation skills and counter kidnapping measures are taught. Security Expert Tip: Prior to the end of the last Millennium if we removed the obvious trouble zone of Lebanon, we found that six countries dominated two-thirds of the recent terrorist attacks, namely Columbia, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Spain and Belgium. However fast forward to current day and the shift has moved to war zone areas like Iraq and Afghanistan. However terrorist attacks are increasing in many other global destinations. Security and close protection officers are advised to conduct rigorous threat assessments prior to close protection operation deployment to these areas.

Regarding business and travel security I advise all travel agents offering world travel tours to exotic locations to include a security update in their customers travel guide. I have delivered security training for business clients and close protection training for travellers and tourists. The benefits provide far more value than cost. If you think for a moment about the trauma of being a kidnap hostage then a 1 day security training programme is a positive investment.

Although every security expert will reinforce the fact that there is no such concept of 100% security, the knowledge you will gain from close protection training will seriously reduce your security risk. Don’t harbour any fears of joining a troop of muscle bound bodyguards fending off terrorists in a jungle fortification, because you can purchase a comprehensive home study security close protection training programme which requires no actual residential training. Many professional close protection officers purchase these training programmes to study when on operational bodyguard duties in the field.

Be under no illusion of all the international special forces, professional bodyguards or close protection officers are the finest security specialists to prevent attacks against individuals or the abduction by kidnap. Much of their close protection training curriculum consists of avoidance over confrontation. They place meticulous emphasis on the clients under their protection not being placed in an environment conducive to attacks or abduction. Forget Kevin Costner and Whitney Huston, and think more of The US Secret Service who provide presidential protective services.

The next security requirement is to book travel, luggage and medical insurance from your travel agent. Entering a hospital in an overseas destination can be very expensive. Ensure your medical policy covers you for return emergency flights back to your home country. It is also wise to ensure your insurance covers you for a daily cash payment in the event of your cash, cards and valuables being stolen. Insist on a maximum daily limit and ensure you have a cap on the amount of days you can receive cash. Kidnappers target hostages just to clean out their daily limit on a cash card ATM machine. Fortunately most of these kidnappings take place in Asia and once the money runs dry hostages are generally released. Not always, but frequently.

Another aspect worth considering for business and travel security is deciding which travel agent and travel agency to book your holiday or vacations with. Security is paramount. Travel agents hold much of your personal data. If this data was accessed by organised crime or a terrorist organisation then you may be targeted for kidnap for ransom. These criminal organisations are technology smart and in some cases victims are chosen before they have even left their country of origin. At the risk of sounding obvious your travel agent and/or travel agency should have the finest security data-safes installed in a very secure area of their business premises.

From a personal security perspective it is important to deal with a credible travel agent and/or travel agency. Home based criminals would welcome information which informs them when you and your family members or business associates are away from your home or office for a week or two.

No one escapes the business and travel security leprechaun. An innocent trip backpacking to Australia turned into a nightmare for British backpacker, Jamie Neale in July 2009. Playing a football match in Jakarta could have had serious consequences and resulted in large fatalities for the Manchester United football team, had they stayed in the Ritz-Carlton hotel a day earlier when it was blown up by suicide bombers.

Piracy and hostage taking is on the increase globally, suicide bombings, muggings, child abduction, violent assaults and theft is also increasing in many tourist destinations. I’ve heard more than one security expert attribute this growth to the current economic downturn.

Purchasing top quality security products and services falls under the tactical equipment section of most e-commerce web sites. It is advisable to visit Europe’s largest e-tailer of security products and services.

If this business and travel security seems like a doom and gloom article then please understand it is not. If you take one thing from this article then take this. Organised criminals, terrorists, pirates and kidnappers will always focus on soft targets. If you present as a hard target they will almost always leave you alone and focus on a softer target. They particularly welcome individual targets who live their life in what every security expert calls ‘Condition White.’ This is the concept of an individual not having any security awareness what so ever.

For any business employees or executives travelling overseas you should consider a visit with a security expert prior to booking your trip. The old saying of a little knowledge is dangerous, does not apply in the security industry. Being security aware will get you out of scrapes that softer targets are unable to avoid.

Freemason secret

and today’s new finance den

By Wendell W. Solomons

 

In Moscow, officials who served President Boris Yeltsin were falling under the spotlight. During this process, a parliamentarian claimed that a key Yeltsin had aide served “the capital of the world’s freemasonry – London.”

The weekly ‘Moscow News’ of August 10-16, 2005 front-paged the claim. It came in the Russian parliament from deputy Alexander Khinshtein (‘Khin-’ isn’t just an ordinary root word for Hebrew scholars but associates directly with a measure for liquids.)

About ‘freemasonry;’ in the historical Middle Ages, members of merchant guilds were often bound to secrecy for economic security.

The Freemasons, a widespread, secret society, originated as a guild of craftsmen in the 14th century. An Encarta encyclopaedia entry on Freemasonry suggests that global authority meandered to Britain during the succeeding three centuries. So the encyclopaedia supports Khinshtein’s claim of London as the centre of Freemasonry.

Taking the administration of President Boris Yeltsin, a Western cabal of monetarists carried out ‘reforms’ that precipitated the devaluation of Russia’s currency more than 250 times. In the wake of monetarist sabotage, home budgets shrank and pensioners were reduced to living on bread and milk.

During the USAid-contracted monetarist reforms, 3 metric tons of gold, a reserve of the Central Bank meant to support the currency, were trucked out into the night. The reserves represented some part of seven decades of the labour of Soviet citizens.

Item 1 -The rise of these fortunes was prefaced by the release upon Moscow of a New York crime syndicate, the Brighton Beach mafia, nominally Jewish-led. The American VIP delegated Russian affairs in those years was Vice President Al Gore (or more fully – Albert Armand Gore; he was named for Armand Hammer, an operator in gold and diamonds born in Odessa.) Gore’s connection to New York and its Brighton Beach was illustrated to the world when his daughter married into the New York family of financier Jacob Schiff (a City of London mover-and-shaker with mention in the Encyclopaedia Judaica.)

Item 2 – In Vice President Al Gore’s time again, Henry Kissinger introduced the American beauty Lynn Forester to Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, head of the famous London banking dynasty. Later, the US President himself did his bit for the beauty by providing for her wedding night with the 71-year-old Rothschild on the silken sheets of the White House. 

 

Silk Road

 We can study the build up of power in the hands of global movers-and-shakers by looking at a few images in history.

The formal opening of the transcontinental Silk Road is associated in the Far East with the name of Zhang Qian who opened up trade and diplomacy with areas that include India, Iran and Syria. Zhang also made contact with the Greek world. His travels began in 138 BC and upon his return, China’s emperor made him Marquis of Bowang. Zhang next led another expedition with 300 men and gifts of gold and silk to dazzle rulers with China’s riches

The fabric that moved across the Silk Road wasn’t only silk. We know that the caravans of Nabataean tribes (pre-Islamic Arabs hailing from the desert city of Petra,) carried Indian cotton textiles westwards circa 25 AD.

As traders moved these products along caravan routes, the rise of moneylenders extended. 

 

 Market Niche

 At a particular stage, Buddhism (represented in the Bamien statues of Afghanistan) and Christianity became the predominant faiths on the Silk Road. These two faiths contained biddings such as that expressed in a text of the Old Testament -

 

DEU 4:19 When you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars – all the heavenly array – do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.

 

The text above spurns the idolatry of the tribe itself as ‘Chosen’ by a sky symbolism. Like Christianity, Buddhism was a cosmopolitan faith that differed from that of the tribe or clan.

Later, starting in the 7th Century, Islam had fanned out from the Middle East at a pace then unusual for history. Taking Spain on the one hand (in the West,) by 712 AD an Arab army crossed the Indus River and conquered the kingdom of Sind (in southern Pakistan).

In their early and respective phases of development, adherents of Buddhism, Christianity and Islam spurned money lending. The logic was: who would turn a quick penny on a neighbour? The spurning of usury contributed to the negative meaning attached to the English words ‘usurious interest’.

The spurning of usury left a window of opportunity for those ethnic and social groups that allowed money lending. The spurning created a position of privilege for the latter. Ready money being Aladdin’s lamp, traditional money lending clans gained the opportunity to finance the business of Tom while squeezing out a less pliant Dick or Harry.

Through selection of obedient traders, over years and centuries the money lending clans evolved a mercantile class in trading cities. This explains how in the 19th Century radical thinkers came to despise burghers (townsmen) and began to use ‘bourgeois’ as a negative word. Webster’s dictionary helps says something about this transition-

Etymology

[Fr < OFr burgeis < ML burgensis < burgus, borgus, town < OFr borc or Frank *burg, bourg]

Adjective

of or characteristic of a bourgeois or the bourgeoisie; middle-class; also used variously to mean conventional, smug, materialistic, etc.

 

To restate, the change along trade routes expanded the arena of moneylenders who came dominantly from clans that professed Hinduism and Judaism. A change in the ethical situation allowed them to grow into major financial entities. During the course of picking and choosing pliant merchants, the financial houses made goods trading a ‘step-and-fetch-it’ department. The goods merchants fell into this subservient department because they were kept from accumulating finance capital independently by their faiths of Buddhism, Christianity and Islam.

Clash of moneylenders

 After the 5th Century AD , the overland Silk Road that relied on bullocks, camels and horses for haulage, encountered trouble. Merchants began to find that using the Silk Road required overcoming difficult ethno-religious obstacles that included the sudden arrival of Islam.

As a result, the weight of merchandise trade gradually shifted to sea traffic where the Indian Ocean segment gained great importance. By then, technology development too had made ships (using trade winds) the more efficient means of hauling goods over long distances.

For contrasting the more southerly route that transited the Indian Ocean, we can call it the ‘Spice Route’.

If marked from China and Japan, the voyage under sail to Europe passed either-

 

A. Through the Red Sea and Egypt/Levant;

B. Through the Persian Gulf and inland into Mesopotamia via ports on the river Euphrates.

 

Both West Asian routes could carry tea, spices, silks and cottons to the Mediterranean and thus to Europe.

At this stage, moneylenders of West Asia, who professed Judaism mainly, had to face off a thrust of competition. Their competition in the Indian subcontinent included the forebears of Marathis, Marwaris and Chettiars.

Traditionally, fairs and markets had come to arise for safety close to temples. Particularly with the use of gold, silver and other metals for exchange, money dealers sought safe turf inside the temple to store their stock-in-trade that included noble metals in customers’ pawned belongings. As a service in return, money dealers would maintain the account books of the temple.

With a room allotted to them for meetings, we can in modern times still spot moneylenders such as the Chettiars controlling the revenue of Hindu temples and thereby controlling the income of Brahmin priests.

While taking on the appearance of philanthropy or cooperation, the influence of the Chettiars climbed upwards to South Indian rulers through the Brahmins who performed devotions for princes too. We must note in this connection that moneylending musn’t be associated purely with men of piety such as Brahmins; it would be difficult for pawnbrokers to avoid contact with thieves and bandits wanting to sell stolen valuables.

Finally, men such as the Chettiars sometimes occupied a more important position in the royal Court than would be expected of money lenders: they led rites of coronation. They could aspire to be the real power behind the throne by adding intelligence on neighbouring kingdoms gained through inter-Chettiar ties. If a prince became balky or independent, the moneylenders could, utilising the same intelligence assets, oust the prince by embroiling him in wars.

As traffic on the northern, overland Silk Road dwindled, Hindu money lending clans were left crying over revenue lost in Central and North Asia. They could hardly have overlooked the shift to the Spice Route that used ports in southern India, Lanka and Malaya for instance.

It is in this structure of power that we can better understand what the record openly tell us: that the monarchs of India’s south-east coast began to fight for control of seaports in the Indian Ocean area.

One part of this struggle for revenue from trade led to a succession of South Indian Chola and Pandyan monarchs invading the island of Lanka. Taking the island’s geography, the port of Hambantota gained its name because it received sampans (from the Cantonese for ‘boat’) that were simply wafted in by winds. The island’s own market place and hub status for goods, once led Chinese forces to occupy parts of the island in 1408 for 30 years.

Economic historian W I Siriweera writes, “the Cholas were aware of Arab competitors in the South-East Asian trade and tried to strike at the root of this competition by bringing the Malabar coast [south-west India] and Sri Lanka under their control. Rajaraja (985-1014), a Chola king, conquered Kerala and the Maldive islands, which got him involved in the lucrative trade with the Arabs on India’s Western Malabar coast.”

King Rajaraja was among monarchs whose invasions in Sri Lanka destroyed the Anuradhapura kingdom. The ruin of reservoirs and canals (a strategic target of military sappers everywhere,) was one of the causes of the breakdown of the irrigated, rice-growing civilisation of Anuradhapura.

Merchants of the locality of Sri Vijaya in Malaya conducted an extensive trade with China and India. The Cholas led a great raid on them in 1025 and left the Sri Vijayan kingdom crippled.

Looked at through the perspective of power behind the throne, you might say that the attacks and devastation were caused by a clash over the Silk Route between Brahmin-allied Indian clans and West Asian finance capital clans.

With their hold on Europe’s trade as described in the next section, West Asian finance clans ended up controlling Arab merchants and Silk Route trade. Yet, here is a baseline quote brought up by history professor Lorna Dewaraja, (‘History of Ceylon’ , Vol. I, Part I, page 706,) where Al-Idrisi, a famed 12th Century Arab geographer, deals with a royal court in the island of Lanka:

“?Idrisi mentions a council of sixteen at the royal court, consisting of four Buddhists, four Muslims, four Christians and four Jews.”

The Hindu Brahmins are the four priests missing from the above royal council. Their having gone missing suggests that Jewish clans could grasp the levers of trade finance to control Buddhist, Christian and Muslim traders in the Indian Ocean area

Finance Capital in the West

Due to the taboo of early Christianity on money lending, the West had entirely become the province of Jewish financial clans. In Europe, their money houses had coalesced and organised by the 13th Century.

No account of financial clan consolidation is complete without mentioning Venice. By 700 AD the city-state of Venice had developed into one of the world’s great trading centres. In a move that reflected the increasing importance and growing independence of the population from its ostensible rulers in Christian Constantinople, Venetians elected in 696 AD their own head.

A unique city, set among coastal lagoons, Venice benefited from its links by sea to the Orient and by land and the river to northern Italy and beyond. Venice traded in exotic goods, notably spices and silks, imported from the East.

Our account can take note of what William Shakespeare associated with ‘The Merchant of Venice.’ Yet, the financial cables of cities such as Venice extended deeper through ‘court factors’ (loan agents) who could (a) muster exotic gifts to enter royal courts and (b) provide intelligence gained from local and foreign commercial networks.

These court factors could (c) provide war mobilisation loans. Such loans represented an advantage to moneylenders because the general citizenry repaid them whether or not the monarch himself survived intrigue. So moneylenders such as those of Venice (or similar city-states such as Genoa) had made their way into a tempting insider position as court factors.

If they triggered discontent in neighbouring kingdoms in Europe, the two kingdoms would be forced into taking war loans from the court factors for mobilising their respective armies.

Collecting interest on state-guaranteed loans, finance capital grew richer by leaps and bounds. Popes were forced to think of doing something about the intrigue that was setting up fractions and seeding discord that hit European kingdoms and the Vatican itself.

 

 

Glove Changes of Colonialism

You would scarcely have heard about Pope Alexander VI. A search for information on this Pope of 1492-1503 reveals his suppression by a bad press. Here’s a quote from the Encarta Encyclopaedia -

“?the positive aspects of his reign remain overshadowed by corruption and ambition.”

Alexander VI was a Pope who aroused wrath among the moneylenders. He decided to reduce their influence by cordoning them off from the pliant Muslim, Christian and other merchants they hand-grew in the field.

Pope Alexander VII chose the method of dividing the market into Portuguese and Spanish Catholic zones of influence as soon as he could. Just after a year after assuming office he issued an edict called the Bull[etin] of Demarcation.

In this edict, a line of demarcation ran due north and south about 483 km west of the Azores and Cape Verde Islands. Alexander VI placed all lands lying east of this line, including India, in the zone of influence of Catholic Portugal. Catholic Spain received all those to the west.

In consequence in Asia, following in the wake of Lorenzo de Almeida, Alfonso de Albuquerque could practice an ambitious scheme for the 16th Century. Aiming at complete control of all Indian Ocean traffic, he organised a chain of forts along coasts, the central ones being Goa in India (the viceroy capital), in Hormuz (at the entrance to the Persian Gulf), and in Malacca in Southeast Asia.

Between Indonesia and Africa, ships now carried silks, cottons and spices with Portuguese permission — or faced peril. In time, Portugal went on to establish formal colonies and thereby wall off the influence of Venetian and kindred finance capital.

That story led to the colonisation, for example, of the sea-coast provinces of Sri Lanka, begun in 1505. In sequestering the island, Portuguese conquistadores spared Buddhist, Hindu and Muslim places of worship. They selected for attack Jewish leaders and ‘heretical’ Orthodox Christian leaders. As a result, the Portuguese erased these congregations in Sri Lanka but they remain in South India in Kerala. In the port city of Cochin, the Mattancheri synagogue sits next to the spice market (described on the Internet) and the South Indian Orthodox church is alive.

Counterattack

After money lending for East-West trade was dented by Pope Alexander VI, Mediterranean finance houses drifted outwards and reached northern and eastern Europe.

In the Netherlands, then a Spanish colony, Protestants had attacked hundreds of Catholic monasteries and churches during revolts. Circa 1590 Amsterdam began to figure as the refugee capital of Europe and in return for its generosity the city gained unrivalled access to the globe’s most profitable trading networks.

The wealth and the wide-ranging contacts of the Sephardic Jews from the Mediterranean made them welcome settlers. Their clans consolidated through the founding of the Bank of Amsterdam and then proceeded with plans to float a merchant company to hire sea navigators, sailors and troops to challenge the Portuguese in the Orient.

The year 1602 founded Dutch East India Company relieved Portugal of all its East Indian possessions. In most of present-day Indonesia and in the Malay Peninsula, Sri Lanka, the Malabar Coast of India and Japan, it eliminated the Portuguese.

The hands of the financiers remained hidden. In these far-reaching events of the 17th century the world at large was not privy to a return of finance houses into Oriental trade but just saw Dutch gloves replacing Portuguese ones in the colonies.

At the peak of its power in 1669, the Dutch East India Company had 150 merchant ships, 40 warships and 10,000 soldiers and its Batavia that resembled an individual republic was headquarted in Jakarta. However, increasing corruption and near bankruptcy led to the dissolution of the company in 1799. Its possessions and debts were taken over by the Dutch state.

The next horse deal for Oriental trade soon followed. The detachment of the finance houses based in Britain was to take over Oriental trade using the British East India Company. This company of dealers was originally provided with a charter for monopoly in trade in the East in 1600 by Queen Elizabeth I, daughter of Henry VIII.

Jewish clans had been banished from England in 1292 by Edward I but we found dislodged Mediterranean finance clans settling in Britain through their using the wastrel Henry VIII as a conduit for their entry. Later we see the power of the British royal family shrunk by Oliver Cromwell who gained finance enough to hire troops and drive the monarchy into a corner.

In our times the UK ‘Daily Mirror’ newspaper came out in October 2003 with a series of assertions by Paul Burrell who had served as Princess Diana’s butler. The newspaper claimed that Diana wrote a letter 10 months before she died saying there was a plot to kill her by tampering with the brakes of her car.

Paul Burrell mentioned another singularity. When he went public with what he had observed with Princess Diana at first hand, the Queen stepped forward to caution him about forces that he did not dream of.

After the British East India Company received Oriental trade, the finance clans went from strength to strength. They reinforced their position as the force (a) behind the British throne and (b) behind the commerce of the new and extensive British colonial system.

With that, at long last Pope Alexander VI’s edict of 1493 had been overturned and cosy times were assured for the clans behind the motto “Britannia rules the waves.” On January 13th, 1909 Winston Churchill, son of Rothschild-clan asset Randolph Churchill, could confidently boast of England as ‘the best country in the world for rich men.’

The man chosen for Africa’s gold and diamonds, Openheimer clan asset Cecil Rhodes, would also boast, “To be born British was to have drawn the winning ticket in the lottery of life.”

An ad copywriter was later found in Chicago, USA. Edgar Rice Burroughs was to puff up genetic or natural British overlordship through writings on Tarzan.

 

President Roosevelt and decolonisation

 

After Alexander VI, the dissenter who arrived on the scene was U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He might not have been a political successor to Alexander VI had he and wife Eleanor not noticed the inside story as members of the elite.

When elite British bragging was challenged by World War II and British PM Churchill appealed for US supplies and assistance, Roosevelt asked him in return for decolonisation.

The Rothschild’s dynastial Churchill did not relish signing away colonies in front of his constituency. So when Britain’s merry new battleship ‘Prince of Wales’ set sail it was a well-kept secret that Churchill was on board. When this leaked into the news, the purpose of Churchill’s voyage was cited as a fishing trip with Franklin D. Roosevelt who arrived aboard US cruiser `Augusta’.

The outcome of the meeting at sea was the Atlantic Charter of August 14, 1941, which respected the rights of all peoples to self-determination.

World media was placated with the story that the two ships met in mid-Atlantic for wartime bravado but as soon as the war was over we know Britain was forced to adhere to the Charter and grant Independence to its colonies.

Anglo-American Neo-Commonwealth

Roosevelt’s elite dissidence confused finance capital no end. These consequences ensued.

(1) A post-Colonial strategy of protectionism attempted to block industrialisation in newly emergent nations. The strategy was applied through blinds such as the World Bank and IMF. The approach suffered obsolescence when manufacturing industry took off with a bang in several nations of Asia. Japan was followed by newly industrialised nations that were to include giant China and India.

(2) From 1976 finance capital embarked on another course to impoverish emergent nations by making them weak, dependent interest-payers. Monetarists economists were used to set in place a vanity trap through the World Bank and IMF that would cause a ‘war of each against the other.’ The social tension would block cooperation to-wards developing national resources.

Yet, that had the blowback effect of hitting synergy in the USA and UK. Key financier George Soros recorded his alarm on the drastic change in everyday US business ethics when news headlines exposed a spate of corporate crime. Corporate nihilism and sociopathy are also experienced in the UK, where the nation’s once proud auto-industry is being sold off, factory by factory, to foreign buyers. MG-Rover went in 2005, bought by Nanking Automobile, which flew in not only Chinese engineers but cooks too because it considered scrap meals unsuitable for the workforce.

Protectionist strategies (1) and (2) proved counterproductive and Anglo-American leaders rush from crisis to crisis today. A proto-fascism projected into the world, especially in the Asian theatre, has harmed whatever credibility that Anglo-American elites enjoyed in the world.

Left now to pursue Democrat Roosevelt’s 1941 classic dissent from the money aristocracy is a coalition being formed by Brazil, Canada, France, Germany and Russia. Russia expands the dissent through the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation formed with China and four Central Asian nations with India, Iran and Pakistan as observers. A defence pact of record, historic size with three million plus servicemen, it forced the US to dismantle its airforce bases in Central Asia’s Uzbekhistan.

China is in the process of converting its foreign currency reserves from US dollars into gold, which will form the base of account for petroleum and natural gas supplies from Russia. In year 2000 the European Union shifted to the euro as a currency to bypass the US dollar.

These events help reflect a picture of a coalition that could in time, check and bankrupt finance capital and its proto-fascism.

 

Consistent Growth

Experts it will continue to growth at comparable rates for some time.

Approval from Large Companies

The PR firm Burson-Marsteller reported that Twitter is the social media platform of choice for Fortune 100 companies.  54% of the companies have some sort of Twitter presence and, of those companies, 76% proclaim Twitter to be the preferred choice.  Total business users only compounds when you factor in all the thousands of smaller companies actively tweeting as well.

The Highest Ranked Social Brand

Twitter is the most active Web presence, garnering the most conversational volume online.  In fact, Social Radar reported that it was the number one social brand for the summer of 2009.  Their research included blogs, forums, and dozens of other social network platforms.  Facebook, the iPhone, and Google, however, were not far behind.

Free Media Coverage

The media loves to cover Twitter and anything relating to using the service.  Twitter received $48 million world of coverage in just one month, about half of what Microsoft plans to dish out on marketing Bing.  By comparison, $48 million amounts to 3 billion impressions with 58% coming from TV.  So these figures don’t even include the smaller newspapers that likely mentioned Twitter.

International Growth

More users are learning about Twitter’s value in connecting globally with customers, friends and business partners.  From the Iranian election protests or the Jakarta bombings to Michael Jackson’s death, Twitter is increasingly as the forefront of breaking news stories worldwide.  Currently, about 55% of Twitter’s audience is international, according to comScore. This number too will continue to grow.

Barack Hussein Obama II nickname Barry born on August 4, 1961 is the forty-fourth and current President of the United States. Barack Obama was the junior United States Senator from Illinois from January 3, 2005, until his resignation on November 16, 2008, following his election to the presidency. The first African American elected President, he was sworn in on January 20, 2009, in an inaugural ceremony at the U.S. Capital.

Barack Obama was born at the Kapi’olani Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, Ann Dunham, a White American from Wichita, Kansas. Obama’s father was Barack Obama, Sr., a Luo from Nyang’oma Kogelo, Nyanza Province, Kenya. His parents met in 1960 while attending the University of Hawaii at M?noa, where his father was a foreign student. The couple married on February 2, 1961; they separated when Obama was two years old and divorced in 1964. Obama’s father returned to Kenya and saw his son only once more before dying in an automobile accident in 1982. After her divorce, Dunham married Indonesian student Lolo Soetoro. Barack then returned to Honolulu to live with his maternal grandparents, Madelyn and Stanley Armour Dunham, while attending Punahou School from the fifth grade in 1971 until his graduation from high school in 1979. his mother died of ovarian cancer in 1995.

In June 1989, Obama met Michelle Robinson, who later became his wife, when he was employed as a summer associate at the Chicago law firm of Sidley Austin. Assigned for three months as Obama’s adviser at the firm, Robinson joined him at group social functions, but declined his initial requests to date. They began dating later that summer, became engaged in 1991, and were married on October 3, 1992. The couple’s first daughter, Malia Ann, was born in 1998, followed by a second daughter, Natasha (“Sasha”), in 2001. Obama was known as “Barry” in his youth, but asked to be addressed with his given name during his college years.

In December 2007, Money magazine estimated the Obama family’s net worth at $1.3 million. Their 2007 tax return showed a household income of $4.2 million—up from about $1 million in 2006 and $1.6 million in 2005—mostly from sales of his books.

Obama plays basketball, a sport he participated in as a member of his high school’s varsity team. Obama is a Protestant Christian whose religious views have evolved in his adult life.

Besides his native English, Obama speaks Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia), at least on a colloquial level, which he learned during his four childhood years in Jakarta.
