When moving up the corporate ladder depends on the success to the second language proficiency test, an employee's anxiety could reach a dramatic height."The funny part about Perdida's cry was the tears. Normally, except for Black Africans, people's tears run through their noses. Don't ask me why. That really baffles me. On the other hand, African people's tears come directly out of their eyes and quietly run through their cheeks before vanishing somewhere in the beard, for those who have one. Perdida's tears were following the latter pattern. Was she some kind of a repressed Black African? Hard to say. But for sure, she didn't look Black at all. With her blond hair, her blue eyes, and her shining light complexion, she must have been of Swedish descent. I ventured toward her classroom, wondering what was actually going on."

This is a story of the casual criminality that is required to navigate the bureaucracy and business in general. Sometimes this is necessary for the system to operate, sometimes a mere convenience, sometimes for financial gain or even just a helping hand for another human being. The story covers the sloth, incompetence and pure evil of the Civil Service and their interaction with private business. It tells of what really happens in the inner workings of private businesses and their interaction with their overlords in intimate detail. This is a story seldom, if ever told, because those that know don't write, and those who write don't know. It covers the wonderful world of dodgy finance and operating a large business without capital. It is a story of human endurance and persistence and eventual victory of a sort. The story begins with a description of life in rural Queensland about thirty years after the original white settlement, covers the construction of major infrastructure when rural industries were expanding rapidly and the early years of the iconic mineral industry at Mount Isa. The author knew well at least eight men who spent a considerable stretch in jail and can say that none of them were bad men and at least three were men of higher moral standards and love of their fellow man than the general population. This is in contrast to some of the very senior public servants with whom he crossed swords, who were pure evil and grossly incompetent to boot.

Why doesn't our politics 'do what it says on the tin'? What on earth happened to 'Truth', 'Responsibility', 'Honesty' and 'Trust'? The words and concepts have long been familiar. They are all 'on the tin', so to speak. But not much sign, anywhere, of putting them into practice! So what actually needs to change? Not just our values or our ideas but, surely, our behaviour, our habits. We don't just need a description of the changes we want to see, but an understanding of how we can BE those changes. And this is where meditation comes in. Meditation not just as thinking, but as actions that we practise until they become habits. To enable us not only to think differently about politics but to develop forms of awareness that enable us to respond more effectively - with greater self-knowledge, imagination and sensitivity. So this is a book for us to practise with, and the final section is a practical guide to meditation methods. The details of the meditation practices are derived largely from the philosophical and psychological teachings of Buddhism, but the book is intended for those of any faith (or none) or of any political persuasion. So enjoy: perhaps this book will make all the difference!

Tears of Gold is a thrilling tale of magic, action, fear, and danger. Four young boys set out on a camping trip in the west of Ireland in the 1960s, unknowingly pursued by an ancient evil that seeks the spirit of one of them. As they sit around their campfire, an old storyteller arrives and regales them with a tale of a magical land called Tir, filled with monsters, demons, heroes, and dragons. One man's desperate search for redemption. As the old man tells his tale, the darkness around their camp seems to tighten, waiting for the opportunity to strike. The boys soon realize that not only are their own souls at risk, but the very soul of the world itself hangs in the balance.

Edna isn't your ordinary witch; she's mischievous and delightful in equal measure. With several centuries under her belt, she has a quirky perspective on life and often finds herself in humorous predicaments, especially when she regards the folks around her as the odd ones.Unlike us mere mortals, Edna isn't bound by the usual consequences. Groundings? Docked allowances? Confiscated gadgets? Not for Edna, who amusingly thinks a tablet is just a remedy for headaches. Running low on gold coins? A quick spell showers her with riches. If only 'them humans,' as she fondly refers to us, could have it that easy!Edna has a soft spot for her menagerie of pets, whether it's her playful dog, melodious budgie, cuddly cat, or even her massive dinosaur. (Who knew a brontosaurus could be so endearing?) While she often finds humanity a tad irksome, she's managed to coexist with the teeming billions of us. As for humanity ever fully embracing Edna's peculiar charm? Well, that remains to be seen!

When the author reached the age of eighty, and was no longer able to travel much, he began to put a few words on paper; his motivation was to keep his mind alert as his muscles weakened. Some of these 'musings' attempted to be amusing, without much success. Others were reactions to articles in the Australian newspaper, in the days when he could afford to have it delivered every day. Then he got carried away and began to deliberately wear different hats; a sportswriter one day, a current affairs commentator on another day, an arrogant book-reviewer the next. All the opinions expressed are his own, based upon wide reading and a good memory, so that ideas spawned by a book on theoretical physics began to mix with stories of the Brith Raj in India. And his sound Catholic upbringing, based on his father's love of Rerum Novarum, began to embrace the results of living for a while in a strongly Buddhist society. So, if you are looking for historical accuracy you will not find it here: he has kept no notes or references; what is in his head has leaked out through his word-processer. It is curiously therapeutic; a bit like going to Confession but not quite.
