The Electronic Cookbook - The exquisite Tool For Those That Love To Cook

Electronic cookbooks are one of the gifts provided by contemporary technology. Most habitancy still live an "outdated" kind of a life meddling with volumes of cookbooks in their kitchens and creating a huge mess out of it. These cookbooks can occupy a huge space in your kitchen, allowing limited space for the main item, the food! An electronic cookbook can virtually eliminate the need for these "real" cookbooks and will free off space on your bookshelves and kitchen counters.

The electronic cookbook unquestionably has a lot of similar aspects with an ebook reader (ie. Amazon's Kindle product). The main purpose of the electronic cookbook is for you to have instant way to your favorite recipes while in the kitchen cooking. In today's culture, convenience is king, and we don't want to spend time going through cookbooks and formula boxes trying to find a sure recipe. We want immediate way at out fingertips, and an electronic cookbook does just that.

Book

Most of the digital cookbooks have an easy-to-read screen (normally around 7-9 inches). They tend to be equipped with a memory that has a warehouse capacity of 2000+ recipes and normally has at least 250 recipes preloaded on it. They also have handy features like a cooking timer. You can ordinarily set the timer on a preset time period (ie. 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, etc) or give it a more exact time. No more searching through drawers trying to find that darn timer. It's right there on your electronic cookbook.

Another interesting highlight found on many electronic cookbooks is the "alternative ingredient" option. The cookbook gives you a series of alternate ingredients and you could choose the one that suits your palate and taste the best. Or, more commonly, you may be missing one of the ingredients and need to know which ingredient would serve best as a replacement.

Another predicament that many cooks face while cooking a meal is that when trying out new dishes, mostly those that are a delicacy from other countries, they might have a qoute with the conversions of the ingredient quantities. No worries! The electronic cookbook solves this one too, as it gives you all the critical conversions in a snap.

One of the most foremost benefits of having an electronic cookbook is peace of mind. Just think about this question: how many great recipes have you lost over your lifetime? If you are like the mean person, you have lost more than you'd care to admit. Sure, there are those individuals who are incredibly organized and never lose anything. But most habitancy just don't have that kind of discipline. And the corollary is that many recipes that you love get misplaced or accidentally thrown away, never to be made again. Since most electronic cookbooks allow for a backup of all of your recipes online, you will never have to worry about losing a formula ever again.

For those habitancy that love to cook, an electronic cookbook is the ideal resource. All of their recipes will be comfortably and safely stored and ready for way whenever they desire. It is almost guaranteed to gather a permanent place next to their oven range.

Spells From the Real Book of Shadows - Do They Exist?

Spells from the real Book of Shadows - do they literally exist? looking as the real Book of Shadows inspires such fervent discussion, the rejoinder should be straight-forward. Unfortunately it's not and it is a field that is as complicated as it is mysterious. Some say it does exist and talk of aged scripts and rituals that generate from it - the much coveted spells from the real book of shadows. Some claim it is a more modern plan belonging to Gardnerian Wicca. Let's look at the truth and the myths behind this arcane report and examine sources for spells that could be just what you're looking for.

First, a brief summary of what a Book of Shadows is. It is literally a term for the journal used by witches and Wiccans for recording their personal spells. It can also be called a Grimoire. Manufacture notes of any advance they make, changes to spells or rituals, or even psychic experiences is an necessary part of life for any spell-caster. It is a very personal variety and for the most part, for their eyes only. The exception to this would be if there is a family tradition of witchcraft or the witch is part of a Wiccan coven. Then the Book of Shadows can be past down to the next generation to use and learn from. You may have seen this in the Tv show Charmed!

Book

The book cover will often be decorated with items and trinkets of sentimental value, to give additional meaning and power to the power within the book. Sometimes, witches will go for a theme that resonates with them, such as fairies or perhaps Wiccan symbols.

The tradition of keeping a journal is said go back to medieval times when witches were persecuted for their craft. Because they didn't want to be discovered, they wrote their notes and spells in code. However, this only led to additional torture as the words became even more mysterious and therefore suspicious to their discoverers.

But what of the term Book of Shadows? Here there seems to be some controversy. The inventor of the modern day form of witchcraft, Wicca, was largely advanced by Gerald Gardner. In fact you will see him referred to as the 'father of Wicca' just about in any place you read about him! But before he mentioned the term in his works of the 1950s, some claim that the term was not recorded as being in use. Witches had used journals but not necessarily calling them a book of shadows.

Gardner did speak of aged scripts however, so could these be the elusive spells from the real book of shadows? Unfortunately, the jury is out on whether these are authentic too.

So sadly, it seems that there is no proof that an original piece of work exists, or ever did exist, that could be definitively called the real book of shadows. But if you are looking for something with the aged wisdom that spells from the real book of shadows would bring you, where do you go next?

Depending on whether you are looking for a singular spell for a exact theorize or want to add to your own book of shadows, there are some alternative sources that you might wish to try.

Firstly, you can naturally hunt for aged spells. However, be prepared to find fullness of incantations and rituals translated for the modern world, albeit for good reason. Some of the literally old spells can be nigh on impossible to understand! And for this reason, they are unlikely to be efficient if you are unable to fully comprehend the meaning.

You can also try to accomplish some authentic Wiccan spells. These have the benefit of having been practised by many others. This is not be recommended for the uninitiated as it takes practise and dedication but you may wish to try learning the ways of Wicca and build your spell work as you progress.

Last but not least, you can try turning to some experienced witches! She may divide opinions but beginners can look at the work of Silver Ravenwolf for inspiration as she is noted in her field. She provides information on a witch's lifestyle right through to spells for your own personal book of shadows so will roughly literally get you started on the right tracks.

Although spells from the real book of shadows may be elusive, you can still find fullness to enjoy in the modern day world of Magick, sorcery and bewitchment.

Book present - Eclipse - Twilight Saga Book 3

Eclipse is the third book in the Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer. It is advised to read the first two books in the series before reading Eclipse.

In 'Twilight (Twilight Saga Book 1)' Isabella (Bella) Swan moves to Forks to stay with her father where she meets Edward Cullen who is a vampire. She falls in love with him and defying all odds he is equally in love with her.

Book

'New Moon (Twilight Saga Book 2)' sees Edward leaving Bella for her own good. Bella finds solace with her childhood friend Jacob Black who loves her very much. Jacob transforms into a werewolf & due to a series of events Edward is back in Bella's life.

Eclipse (Twilight Saga Book 3) sees Bella in a lot of emotional turmoil. She is torn in between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob. She commits mistakes and acts selfish, in the course of which she hurts both, Jacob & Edward. Bella tries to keep a equilibrium of Edward & Jacob in her life, as a soul mate and as a best friend; trying to forget their true identities of a vampire or werewolf & their life long enmity.

She later on realizes that she has fallen in love with Jacob too. Bella feels so selfish and tortured, but Edward is that much comprehension and patient. He is not jealous or angry with Bella. He knows that when he left Bella, she was extremely hurt and totally broken. It was Jacob who helped her to heal again; in the process of which he left some part of him in Bella. Since Edward has seen Bella in so much pain when he had last left that now he has decided not to leave her until she asks him to do so. Hence Edward and Jacob both want to be with Bella till she unmistakably makes a choice; development it a very well concept after decision for her rather than just a spur of a moment, compulsive one.

Eclipse throws light on how the Cullens became vampires and how the werewolves came into existence. These parts blend in well with the storyline of Bella being still hunted by the revenge seeking vampire Victoria.

Victoria has formed an army of "new born" vampires to fight against the Cullens & kill Bella. The vampires with the help of the werewolves plan to fight against this army and end all the killings once and for all.

Does Victoria follow in killing the Cullens or Jacob and the werewolves?

Will it leave Bella regretting all her life that they died protecting her?

Stephenie Meyer keeps you on the edge wanting to read it all. Let us see what lies in store for Edward and Bella in the next book - Breaking Dawn [http://chanakyaspeaks.com/book-review/book-review-breaking-dawn-twilight-saga-book-4/]

Inheritance (The Inheritance Cycle) Review


Inheritance (The Inheritance Cycle) Overview

Not so very long ago, Eragon—Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider—was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders.

Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can. There will be no second chances.

The Rider and his dragon have come further than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaësia? And if so, at what cost?

This is the much-anticipated, astonishing conclusion to the worldwide bestselling Inheritance cycle.

Should I Self-Publish My Non-Fiction Book? Or is a Mainstream Publisher Better?

Writers often ask: "Should I self-publish my non-fiction book or is a mainstream publisher better?"

It often helps to write a marketing plan for your book before you make a final decision. This isn't as complex as it sounds. Basically, you are establishing who your target readers are, why they would want to buy your book, what is unique and extra about your book, and any ideas you have for promoting and marketing you book.

Book

What many writers fail to grasp until it's too late is that most mainstream publishers are distributors rather than marketers. They sign on the dotted line only to find they still have to do all the social relations (Pr) and marketing themselves - and then hand over a large ration of the royalties for their hard work!

So here are the questions you actually Must ask yourself before manufacture any decision:

1. What do you know about Pr & marketing?
If you don't know much about Pr and marketing, then are you willing to learn? Or can you afford to pay someone else to do your Pr and marketing for you? Are you willing to spend the time relentlessly promoting your book?

2. Can you sell your book?
Do you have a 'list' of habitancy you could sell your book to? How big is your 'list'? If you're a enterprise someone or a expert with a list of clients or customers, then can you market the book to them?

3. Can you persuade someone else to sell your book?
If you don't have a 'list' of your own, can you think of any joint investment partners who would sell your book? Don't be put off by the jargon. All a 'joint venture' means is that you will ask the owner of a enterprise if they will send a letter out to their list of clients promoting your book. If they like the sound of your book and it ties in with their business, they should be more than happy to help. If you have written a book about childbirth, then midwives or baby experts would be good habitancy to approach, for example.

4. Do you want to originate other products from the same content?
Do you want to reformat your work so that it appears as different products. You might want to furnish a book, a home study procedure and an audio series with the same content. This can sometimes be the clincher as you won't be able to do this with a mainstream publisher.

5. Is this your passion?
Finally, the most prominent query of all: does this make your heart sing? Self-publishing a book can bring astonishing rewards for authors - there's no two ways about it. However, it is hard work. If you don't love selling your book, if your heart isn't in it, then self-publishing by all means; of course won't be for you.

To conclude, the respond is different for everyone. Some writers would be lousy at self-publishing. Others - usually, those of an entrepreneurial nature - would be held back and frustrated by mainstream publishing. By answering the above questions, you should be able to work out the best explication for you.

This Is New York Review


This Is New York Overview

Facsimile edition of a beloved, long out-of-print children's classic.

The charm and uniqueness of New York City was never more beautifully and whimsically created for children than in Miroslav Sasek's This Is New York. First published in 1960, his vision of New York nearly forty years ago still remains fresh: the hustle and bustle of Times Square, the ethnic neighborhoods, the awe-inspiring architecture. Sasek captured the essences of New York that delight children and parents, many of whom who will remember the book from their childhood.

Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice Review


Pride and Prejudice Overview

This is a beautiful new edition of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice". Complete and unabridged. Printed on high quality paper.

Pride and Prejudice Specifications

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."

Next to the exhortation at the beginning of Moby-Dick, "Call me Ishmael," the first sentence of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice must be among the most quoted in literature. And certainly what Melville did for whaling Austen does for marriage--tracing the intricacies (not to mention the economics) of 19th-century British mating rituals with a sure hand and an unblinking eye. As usual, Austen trains her sights on a country village and a few families--in this case, the Bennets, the Philips, and the Lucases. Into their midst comes Mr. Bingley, a single man of good fortune, and his friend, Mr. Darcy, who is even richer. Mrs. Bennet, who married above her station, sees their arrival as an opportunity to marry off at least one of her five daughters. Bingley is complaisant and easily charmed by the eldest Bennet girl, Jane; Darcy, however, is harder to please. Put off by Mrs. Bennet's vulgarity and the untoward behavior of the three younger daughters, he is unable to see the true worth of the older girls, Jane and Elizabeth. His excessive pride offends Lizzy, who is more than willing to believe the worst that other people have to say of him; when George Wickham, a soldier stationed in the village, does indeed have a discreditable tale to tell, his words fall on fertile ground.

Having set up the central misunderstanding of the novel, Austen then brings in her cast of fascinating secondary characters: Mr. Collins, the sycophantic clergyman who aspires to Lizzy's hand but settles for her best friend, Charlotte, instead; Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Mr. Darcy's insufferably snobbish aunt; and the Gardiners, Jane and Elizabeth's low-born but noble-hearted aunt and uncle. Some of Austen's best comedy comes from mixing and matching these representatives of different classes and economic strata, demonstrating the hypocrisy at the heart of so many social interactions. And though the novel is rife with romantic misunderstandings, rejected proposals, disastrous elopements, and a requisite happy ending for those who deserve one, Austen never gets so carried away with the romance that she loses sight of the hard economic realities of 19th-century matrimonial maneuvering. Good marriages for penniless girls such as the Bennets are hard to come by, and even Lizzy, who comes to sincerely value Mr. Darcy, remarks when asked when she first began to love him: "It has been coming on so gradually, that I hardly know when it began. But I believe I must date it from my first seeing his beautiful grounds at Pemberley." She may be joking, but there's more than a little truth to her sentiment, as well. Jane Austen considered Elizabeth Bennet "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print". Readers of Pride and Prejudice would be hard-pressed to disagree. --Alix Wilber Available at Amazon

Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity Review


Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity Feature

  • ISBN13: 9780142000281

  • Notes: BRAND NEW FROM PUBLISHER! 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Tracking provided on most orders. Buy with Confidence! Millions of books sold!

Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity Overview

In today's world, yesterday's methods just don't work. In Getting Things Done, veteran coach and management consultant David Allen shares the breakthrough methods for stress-free performance that he has introduced to tens of thousands of people across the country. Allen's premise is simple: our productivity is directly proportional to our ability to relax. Only when our minds are clear and our thoughts are organized can we achieve effective productivity and unleash our creative potential. In Getting Things Done Allen shows how to:

* Apply the "do it, delegate it, defer it, drop it" rule to get your in-box to empty
* Reassess goals and stay focused in changing situations
* Plan projects as well as get them unstuck
* Overcome feelings of confusion, anxiety, and being overwhelmed
* Feel fine about what you're not doing

From core principles to proven tricks, Getting Things Done can transform the way you work, showing you how to pick up the pace without wearing yourself down.

Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity Specifications

With first-chapter allusions to martial arts, "flow," "mind like water," and other concepts borrowed from the East (and usually mangled), you'd almost think this self-helper from David Allen should have been called Zen and the Art of Schedule Maintenance.

Not quite. Yes, Getting Things Done offers a complete system for downloading all those free-floating gotta-do's clogging your brain into a sophisticated framework of files and action lists--all purportedly to free your mind to focus on whatever you're working on. However, it still operates from the decidedly Western notion that if we could just get really, really organized, we could turn ourselves into 24/7 productivity machines. (To wit, Allen, whom the New Economy bible Fast Company has dubbed "the personal productivity guru," suggests that instead of meditating on crouching tigers and hidden dragons while you wait for a plane, you should unsheathe that high-tech saber known as the cell phone and attack that list of calls you need to return.)

As whole-life-organizing systems go, Allen's is pretty good, even fun and therapeutic. It starts with the exhortation to take every unaccounted-for scrap of paper in your workstation that you can't junk, The next step is to write down every unaccounted-for gotta-do cramming your head onto its own scrap of paper. Finally, throw the whole stew into a giant "in-basket"

That's where the processing and prioritizing begin; in Allen's system, it get a little convoluted at times, rife as it is with fancy terms, subterms, and sub-subterms for even the simplest concepts. Thank goodness the spine of his system is captured on a straightforward, one-page flowchart that you can pin over your desk and repeatedly consult without having to refer back to the book. That alone is worth the purchase price. Also of value is Allen's ingenious Two-Minute Rule: if there's anything you absolutely must do that you can do right now in two minutes or less, then do it now, thus freeing up your time and mind tenfold over the long term. It's commonsense advice so obvious that most of us completely overlook it, much to our detriment; Allen excels at dispensing such wisdom in this useful, if somewhat belabored, self-improver aimed at everyone from CEOs to soccer moms (who we all know are more organized than most CEOs to start with). --Timothy Murphy Available at Amazon

The Benefits of Having More Than One Book to Sell

Writing the second book is one of the best things any author can do. It may not be an easy thing to do, and it may not all the time seem worthwhile at first, but numerous reasons exist for why writing a second book is one of the best ways to reap the greatest benefits from your role as author.

Whether you are traditionally published or self-published, once your first book is out in public, you as the author have to commit a great deal of time to marketing it. This commitment can be provocative and exhilarating, but it can also be exhausting and time-consuming. You may find yourself putting so much time and vigor into promoting your first book that you don't have time left over for the second book. Perhaps you even wrote the first book, not because you like to write, but to boost your group speaking vocation or to look like an scholar in your field to growth your business; you may feel your first book done that goal, so you don't need a second book. Anything the case, good reasons exist for why writing the second book should be an integral part of your firm plan.

Book

"Why? My first book isn't even selling," you might say. Maybe not, but a second book will help make that first one sell. Here are some former reasons why:

Increased scholar Recognition. The first book has made some population realize you as an scholar on your book's topic. While many population will be impressed by you and think you are a celebrity just because you wrote a book, you won't impress everyone. Let's face it-especially if you're a self-published author, some population will view you as an amateur. Writing that second book shows that you are committed to being an author, that you are professional, that writing, or at least the topic you write about, is your former vocation focus. A second book is a great expanding to your credentials. People like Variety. population might have noticed but not been sold on buying your first book. But when the second book comes out, it gives them a push to buy. They now have an choice between books-they now have a choice, and population like choices. population will now consideration both books and rather than ask themselves, "Should I buy this book?" the quiz, will become, "Which book should I buy?" Many population will decide to buy both to avoid having to make the decision. People Don't Want to Be Left Behind. When a second book comes out, it makes population who haven't read the first book feel like they are behind the times and great hurry to catch up. The second book's publication will then encourage them to buy and read the first book. I know many authors who have reported that their first book continually outsells subsequent books because population want to start with the first one, and each time a new book comes out, the first book's sales go up. population who buy the first book may never get colse to to reading the second or third book, but at least you got them to buy the first one. People Like to Get a Deal. population all the time like a bargain. Even if it's just rescue a dollar or two, if they think they are getting a deal, they are more likely to buy. If you have two books, you can sell them together and let customers know they will save 10 percent, or Anything estimate you decide on, if they buy the books together. You Already Have an Audience-So Sell to It. If population already bought your first book, a good ration of them are likely to buy the second. Why do you think movie studios make sequels to films? Because a fair percentage, probably 50 percent or more, of those population who saw the first movie will come back to see the second. If population like your first book, they're more likely to read your second book, and they'll choose it over other book by an author they don't know because it's more of a sure thing.Writing that second book can only growth your sales and enlarge your position as an author. And once the second book takes off, the more you write, the more population will be provocative about you and want to read more. Agatha Christie hasn't sold 2 billion copies, half of them thirty-five years after her death, by writing just one book. She wrote eighty-and only the Bible has outsold her. Would Harry Potter have been so flourishing if J.K. Rowling only wrote one book? You know the answer. Get that second book on paper or your laptop as quickly as possible.

Book Club Picks - What to Know Before You Sign Up to One

If you love books, you probably have an eye out for ability book club picks out there - new clubs that will give you new recommendations on directions your reading can take in the future. Book clubs aren't just distinct in the areas of literature they control in. They can also go about how they control in somewhat distinct ways. How do you find out about which book club to join? On the surface, they seem to all mirror one an additional one for the most part? The brochures they put out often seem to promise the same kinds of things for your membership. Sometimes, some of them can be scams that don't give you anything needful for your money. Book club picks are difficult to evaluate. And it could be a guess why there are so many concerned readers out there who still aren't a part of a book club.

What kind of scams are you in for with the wrong book club picks? You could pick a book club that tacks on charges in a sneaky way to begin with. But clubs like ability Paperback Book can leave members feeling like they've been taken for a ride even if there is nothing sneaky about their recipe of business. Buy a book from them, and their prices quoted are far higher than what you would get on Amazon; not to mention, their shipping charges can appear outrageous. But that's not what it looks like when you first sign up on Qpb. Right away, as soon as you sign up, they give you four books for a dollar each. And the membership is free to sign up to, too. On top of that, the first book you buy after you're done with your four one-dollar books, you get for . If you are trying to make your mind up among ability Paperback Book, Literary Guild, Book of the Month Club or Doubleday, you need to know that these are just several websites run by the same parent group.

Book

You'll get the same kinds of preliminary offers, prices and shipping charges once the preliminary honeymoon is over. Even when you are enjoying your preliminary offer, each book you order will cost about to ship. If you order all your books at the same time, you could save something substantial. If you order your books one and a time, you won't be saving anything at all, so high-priced is the shipping. In a world where Amazon gives you free shipping on all orders over , it's phenomenal that a book club could get away with such high-priced shipping charges.

The Book Thief Overview

It’s just a small story really, about among other things: a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. . . .

Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak’s groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau.

This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul.

Bossypants Review


Bossypants Feature

  • Tina Fey (Author)
  • Bossypants

Bossypants Overview

Before Liz Lemon, before "Weekend Update," before "Sarah Palin," Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV.

She has seen both these dreams come true.

At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon -- from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence.

Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've all suspected: you're no one until someone calls you bossy.

(Includes Special, Never-Before-Solicited Opinions on Breastfeeding, Princesses, Photoshop, the Electoral Process, and Italian Rum Cake!)

Bossypants Specifications

Amazon Best Books of the Month, April 2011: Tina Fey’s new book Bossypants is short, messy, and impossibly funny (an apt description of the comedian herself). From her humble roots growing up in Pennsylvania to her days doing amateur improv in Chicago to her early sketches on Saturday Night Live, Fey gives us a fascinating glimpse behind the curtain of modern comedy with equal doses of wit, candor, and self-deprecation. Some of the funniest chapters feature the differences between male and female comedy writers ("men urinate in cups"), her cruise ship honeymoon ("it’s very Poseidon Adventure"), and advice about breastfeeding ("I had an obligation to my child to pretend to try"). But the chaos of Fey’s life is best detailed when she’s dividing her efforts equally between rehearsing her Sarah Palin impression, trying to get Oprah to appear on 30 Rock, and planning her daughter’s Peter Pan-themed birthday. Bossypants gets to the heart of why Tina Fey remains universally adored: she embodies the hectic, too-many-things-to-juggle lifestyle we all have, but instead of complaining about it, she can just laugh it off. --Kevin Nguyen

Check Out Quotations From Chairman Mao Tse-Tung

Quotations From Chairman Mao Tse-Tung Review


Quotations From Chairman Mao Tse-Tung Overview

Comrade Mao Tse-tung is the greatest Marxist-Leninist of our era. He has inherited, defended and developed Marxism-Leninism with genius, creatively and comprehensively, and has brought it to a higher and completely new stage.

Mao Tse-tung's thought is Marxism-Leninism of the era in which imperialism is heading for total collapse and socialism is advancing to world-wide victory. It is a powerful ideological weapon for opposing imperialism and for opposing revisionism and dogmatism. Mao Tse-tung's thought is the guiding principle for all the work of the Party, the army and the country.

Therefore, the most fundamental task in our Party's political and ideological work is at all times to hold high the great red banner of Mao Tse-tung's thought, to arm the minds of the people throughout the country with it and to persist in using it to command every field of activity. The broad masses of the workers, peasants and soldiers and the broad ranks of the revolutionary cadres and the intellectuals should really master Mao Tse-tung's thought; they should all study Chairman Mao's writings, follow his teachings, act according to his instructions and be his good fighters.

In studying the works of Chairman Mao, one should have specific problems in mind, study and apply his works in a creative way, combine study with application, first study what must be urgently applied so as to get quick results, and strive hard to apply what one is studying. In order really to master Mao Tse-tung's thought, it is essential to study many of Chairman Mao's basic concepts over and over again, and it is best to memorize important statements and study and apply them repeatedly. The newspapers should regularly carry quotations from Chairman Mao relevant to current issues for readers to study and apply.

The experience of the broad masses in their creative study and application of Chairman Mao's works in the last few years has proved that to study selected quotations from Chairman Mao with specific problems in mind is a good way to learn Mao Tse-tung's thought, a method conducive to quick results.

We have compiled Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung in order to help the broad masses learn Mao Tse-tung's thought more effectively. In organizing their study, units should select passages that are relevant to the situation, their tasks, the current thinking of their personnel, and the state of their work.

In our great motherland, a new era is emerging in which the workers, peasants and soldiers are grasping Marxism-Leninism, Mao Tse-tung's thought. Once Mao Tse-tung's thought is grasped by the broad masses, it becomes an inexhaustible source of strength and a spiritual atom bomb of infinite power. The large-scale publication of Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung is a vital measure for enabling the broad masses to grasp Mao Tse-tung's thought and for promoting the revolutionization of our people's thinking. It is our hope that all comrades will learn earnestly and diligently, bring about a new nation-wide high tide in the creative study and application of Chairman Mao's works, and, under the great red banner of Mao Tse-tung's thought, strive to build our country into a great socialist state with modern agriculture, modern industry, modern science and culture and modern national defence!

Q&A with Barrington Irving

Barrington Irving is the Guinness World Record holder for "Youngest Person to Fly Solo Around the World."

Barrington Irving

How did you come up with the idea of flying solo across the world?

I wanted to inspire other kids to pursue careers in aviation and aerospace so I thought this might be an amazing feat that would inspire them.

How do you feel about achieving a Guinness World Record?

Awesome, unreal, humbled, and inspired to accomplish even greater feats. Records are made to be broken. I’m just glad I have two records, and one of them--being the first black pilot to circle the world--no one will be able to ever break because I was the first.

What is your earliest memory of Guinness World Records?

I remember as a kid that I could never afford to purchase the Guinness records books, but every time I went shopping with my mom, I would read through the Guinness book, wondering what amazing talent I might have myself. Little did I know someday my own name would appear there!

Who do you consider to be your inspiration for this achievement?

My inspiration was my Jamaican parents for working so hard when they came to the U.S. and providing me an opportunity to receive an education. In addition, my mentor Capt. Gary Robinson inspired me to fly and Fabio Alexander, my first donor, was the first person to believe in my record-setting flight.

Can you share with us any moments that were scary or dramatic? Did you have a time that you thought you wouldn’t make it?

When I began this historic venture, I immediately realized why the youngest person before me was in his 30’s. The skills, patience, timing, training, and decisions I made at 23 helped me to survive. I almost died encountering a sandstorm at 17,000 feet over Saudi Arabia; crossing the North Atlantic on a 12.5-hour flight; encountering a monsoon over Vietnam (when I dropped my airplane from 20,000 feet to 9,200 ft., almost colliding into a mountain); and crossing the Bering Sea, when my aircraft was heavily covered with ice and I landed with only 12 minutes of fuel remaining on an island only one mile long!

Inversely, when did you realize that you were going to make it around the globe?

I never really felt comfortable until I reached Alaska and I saw US cable TV. (laughs)

How did you keep yourself alert and focused during the flight?

Eating sunflower seeds, drinking energy drinks, and relying on my own sheer will. Tricking myself mentally is what kept me focused. I took off my watch and said to myself: "No more will I worry about the time, I determine time now."

What happened to your plane once your trip was finished?

I’ve used it to fly 600 kids around the U.S.

What did your family and friends think of your expedition?

Crazy, daring, perplexed, scared... now they are glad to know I’m a Guinness World Record Holder!

What are your plans for the future?

I plan to provide a teaching experience like no other from a flying classroom, 40,000 feet in the air, helping kids explore math and science.

Valley of the Dolls Overview

Its three protagonists--Anne Welles, the uptight-but-full-of-a-strange-yearning New England beauty; Neely O'Hara, the Judy Garland á clef; and Jennifer North, who is sort of the Marilyn Monroe á clef and also sort of the Brigitte Bardot á clef but mainly sort of the least realized character in the book--all spend most of the novel with what they want excruciatingly just out of reach, and all are ultimately not only defeated but self-defeating ... I should say, first of all, that I have absolutely no criticisms to make of this book. It is perfect, and I'm not just saying that because I practically memorized it at the age of 13 and it was one of my primary illicit sources of sexual information in the gap between information and experience, and I therefore view it with fond nostalgia.... However melodramatic its plot may be, Valley of the Dolls is simply old-fashioned riveting.

Valley of the Dolls Specifications

Sex and drugs and shlock and more--Jacqueline Susann's addictively entertaining trash classic about three showbiz girls clawing their way to the top and hitting bottom in New York City has it all. Though it's inspired by Susann's experience as a mid-century Broadway starlet who came heartbreakingly close to making it, but did not, and despite its reputation as THE roman á clef of the go-go 1960s, the novel turned out to be weirdly predictive of 1990s post-punk, post-feminist, post "riot grrrl" culture. Jackie Susann may not be a writer for the ages, but--alas!--she's still a writer for our times.
