Sinopse

With much of the world having been in a precipitous meltdown over the past couple of decades and continuing to hit a new low with each passing year with no end in sight, one wonders whether this is the new normal or whether the ongoing madness will eventually end so as to usher in a brighter dawn.

Fortunately, Mother Nature has blessed us with a hitherto unknown phenomenon dubbed the “oqual cycle” that helps us to revitalize our society after we have gone astray as is the case across much of the globe today—coined from Latin, the adjective "oqual" literally means "84-year". 

In a manner that the daily cycle lends us an indispensable mechanism for recharging our batteries during the night after a hectic day at work, the oqual cycle is equally necessary to reboot our society after it becomes corrupted and choppy over what appears to be a period of 84 years on average.

Since our childhood, we have not only heard ad nauseam the cliché that history is cyclical but it has also been shoved down our throat time and again.  

Well, our gurus and mentors were truly onto something in that we now know that history is in fact oquacyclical—it repeats exactly 84 years on average courtesy of the unavoidable spell of oqual cycle on our precarious civilization. 

In short, the oqual cycle serves as a model par excellence for making sense of the ongoing sociopolitical trials-and-tribulations of our own times that in no small part elicit a wistful yearning for the rather sweet memories of our recent past from the second half of the 20th century. 

Why in the world virtually all nations today have hit rock bottom as if they were joined at the hip?

Why almost all countries today are experiencing such a societal meltdown simultaneously or in synchrony with each other?

Why has humanity lost its moral compass today? 

Why are our leaders clueless about how to change course? 

How will the ongoing madness around the globe end? 

Are we teetering on the brink of a nuclear armageddon? 

When will the good old days return? 

The oqual cycle has you covered from every angle.

    Anarchism is often misunderstood and misrepresented, seen by many as synonymous with chaos and disorder. However, anarchism is a diverse and complex political philosophy that seeks to create a society free from oppressive hierarchies, such as the state, capitalism, and institutionalized authority. At its core, anarchism advocates for the dismantling of centralized power structures and the establishment of self-governed, voluntary communities based on mutual aid, solidarity, and direct action. Anarchists believe that individuals should have the freedom to organize their lives and work collectively without the interference of coercive institutions. 
    The history of anarchism traces back to the early 19th century, with influential thinkers such as Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Mikhail Bakunin, and Peter Kropotkin shaping its development. Proudhon is often credited with coining the term “anarchy,” which he defined as “order without power.” Bakunin, one of the most prominent anarchist figures, argued that the state inherently oppresses the individual and stifles freedom, calling for a revolutionary transformation that would replace governmental authority with voluntary associations. Kropotkin, another major figure, emphasized the importance of mutual aid and cooperation, asserting that human beings are naturally inclined to work together for the common good, rather than being solely driven by competition and self-interest.

    Raja Yoga, often referred to as the "Royal Path," is a systematic and disciplined approach to mastering the mind and attaining spiritual realization. It is one of the four primary paths of yoga, alongside Bhakti Yoga (the path of devotion), Karma Yoga (the path of action), and Jnana Yoga (the path of knowledge). Unlike other yogic paths that focus primarily on physical postures, devotion, or intellectual inquiry, Raja Yoga is centered on meditation and self-discipline, guiding the practitioner toward self-mastery and inner peace. 
    The foundation of Raja Yoga lies in the philosophy outlined in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, an ancient text that provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the workings of the mind and the process of achieving higher states of consciousness. Patanjali describes Raja Yoga as an eightfold path, also known as the Ashtanga (Eight Limbs) of Yoga, which serves as a structured roadmap for spiritual evolution. These eight limbs include ethical disciplines, physical postures, breath control, withdrawal of the senses, concentration, meditation, and ultimately, self-realization. 
    At its core, Raja Yoga teaches that the mind is both the greatest obstacle and the most powerful tool on the path to enlightenment. The human mind is often restless, filled with distractions, desires, and attachments that prevent one from experiencing true inner peace. Raja Yoga provides the techniques to tame this restless mind, bringing it under conscious control and aligning it with a higher state of awareness. Through meditation, a practitioner learns to transcend the fluctuations of thought, entering a state of stillness and clarity where deeper truths about existence and the self can be realized.

    New Hampshire's hard and rugged exterior protects one of America's richest native brook trout fisheries. These abundant waters are as varied as the landscape, from Mount Washington to peaceful meadows. The anticipation of the largest mayfly hatch contrasts with the quiet, deep waters of holding pools, and anglers are rewarded when they learn how to read the rivers and streams. Remote areas such as the Perry Ponds may require an entire day, while more accessible waters such as Mink Brook still provide excitement. With more than fifty years of experience, Steve Angers reveals some of his favorite spots and details what it takes to be successful when fishing in the Granite State.

    First published in 1871, Ancient America delivers the earliest comprehensive English‑language survey of North America’s prehistoric past. Baldwin synthesizes scattered accounts—from the fluted‑point hunters of the Paleo‑Indian era to the monumental earthworks of the Mississippi‑Valley “Mound Builders,” and onward to the pyramidal cities of Mexico and Central America—into a single, lucid narrative. Rejecting then‑common Eurocentric myths, he argues that these civilizations were “wholly original, wholly American,” products of indigenous innovation rather than Old‑World transplantations. Richly illustrated with plates and informed by Baldwin’s correspondence with leading thinkers of his day, this seminal work frames American antiquities within a global archaeological context and remains a cornerstone for understanding the continent’s ancient ingenuity.
