Beschreibung

A pictograph is a writing by picture. It conveys and records an idea or occurrence by graphic means without the use of words or letters. The execution of the pictures of which it is composed often exhibits the first crude efforts of graphic art, and their study in that relation is of value. When pictures are employed as writing the conception intended to be presented is generally analyzed, and only its most essential points are indicated, with the result that the characters when frequently repeated become conventional, and in their later forms cease to be recognizable as objective portraitures. A general deduction made after several years of study of pictographs of all kinds found among the North American Indians is that they exhibit very little trace of mysticism or of esotericism in any form. They are objective representations and cannot be treated as ciphers or cryptographs in any attempt at their interpretation. A knowledge of the customs, costumes, including arrangement of hair, paint, and all tribal designations, and of their histories and traditions is essential to the understanding of their drawings, for which reason some of those particulars known to have influenced pictography are set forth in this book, and others are suggested which possibly had a similar influence.

    Intelligent Design: The Final Proof of God By Dan Anghel, MD Can quantum physics and philosophy prove the existence of God? In this groundbreaking exploration, Dr. Dan Anghel bridges the gap between science and spirituality to present a compelling argument for the existence of a higher power. Intelligent Design: The Final Proof of God delves deep into the mysteries of quantum physics and philosophical thought, tackling profound questions about free will, determinism, and the nature of the soul. Examining the essence of consciousness, Dr. Anghel argues that artificial intelligence systems cannot attain true consciousness or free will due to the inherent limitations of physics in the material world. This perspective challenges current assumptions about AI and its potential, offering a fresh viewpoint rooted in both scientific understanding and spiritual insight. Confronting the age-old problem of evil, he offers innovative solutions that challenge conventional wisdom while maintaining the utmost respect and ethical consideration. His out-of-the-box perspective on God invites readers to rethink traditional beliefs and embrace a more expansive understanding of the divine. Drawing from his own near-death experience, Dr. Anghel enriches his scientific and philosophical discourse with personal revelation. Throughout the book, he shares simple yet profound Christian and philosophical quotes that illuminate complex concepts and inspire thoughtful reflection. Discover a harmonious blend of science, philosophy, and spirituality that offers new proof of God's existence and invites you on a transformative journey of understanding.

    Face Failure - Characteristics...

    The etymology of the word fail is derived from the French word faillir, which means “almost to do.” Faillir is derived from the Latin word fallere, which means to deceive or lead into error. These definitions imply that when people fail, they do not follow through with their intentions, and those who believed that they would be in some way deceived. 
    People who experience failure can feel a sense of shame. This emotional response can cause them to suppress their feelings, deflect the responsibility of the failure, neglect to learn from the valuable lessons, and thwart the possibility for future success. 
    As Winston Churchill so eloquently said, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

    Invested examines the perennial and nefarious appeal of financial advice manuals. Who hasn’t wished for a surefire formula for riches and a ticket to the good life? For three centuries, investment advisers of all kinds, legit and otherwise, have guaranteed that they alone can illuminate the golden pathway to prosperity—despite strong evidence to the contrary. In fact, too often, they are singing a siren song of devastation. And yet we keep listening. Invested tells the story of how the genre of investment advice developed and grew in the United Kingdom and the United States, from its origins in the eighteenth century through today, as it saturates our world. The authors analyze centuries of books, TV shows, blogs, and more, all promising techniques for amateur investors to master the ways of the market: from Thomas Mortimer’s pathbreaking 1761 work, Every Man His Own Broker, through the Gilded Age explosion of sensationalist investment manuals, the early twentieth-century emergence of a vernacular financial science, and the more recent convergence of self-help and personal finance. Invested asks why, in the absence of evidence that such advice reliably works, guides to the stock market have remained perennially popular. The authors argue that the appeal of popular investment advice lies in its promise to level the playing field, giving outsiders the privileged information of insiders. As Invested persuasively shows, the fantasies sold by these writings are damaging and deceptive, peddling unrealistic visions of easy profits and the certainty of success, while trying to hide the fact that there is no formula for avoiding life’s economic uncertainties and calamities.
