The city of Odalia, capital of Lycania and home to the famed White Palace, is the most beautiful place in all of the Empire - at least to the citizens within her walls. Those not privileged to live within them are deemed unworthy and looked upon as savages.
But, as the Empire begins to crack due to the ever-growing delusions of her ruler, Tiberius, the world around Lycania soon becomes a battle, not for the heart of the Empire, but for survival itself.
Even as the contenders for Odalia's future start to move into place, personal stories of love, lust, betrayal and triumph begin to emerge:
Timonus, the General of Tiberius' armies and his childhood friend, is torn between loyalty and honor as he must decide which path to take - even if it means betraying his lifelong friend and country.
The reluctant gladiator, Juko, is being forced to fight against his will in the Amphitheater in order to discover the truth about his brother's suspected murder.
Outside of the city, rebellion stirs within the young outcasts of Odalia's poorest district who have recently joined forces with the local sorceress guild - the darkly sensual but extremely dangerous Veneficas.
The Cavalli tribe, Lycania's ancient enemies to the South, plot revenge against the Empire for old wounds but first, they must discover why the monstrous and bloodthirsty Gigantes have suddenly reappeared in startling numbers.
In the midst of all the chaos, a child is born in secret, under cover of darkness. Tiberius' fanatical laws have outlawed her very existence but when a kind-hearted soldier hides her within the palace nursery, will her clandestine origins be discovered as she's raised among the Emperor's own concubines?

Rev Dr John Lingard (5 February 1771 – 17 July 1851[1]) was an English historian, the author of The History of England, From the First Invasion by the Romans to the Accession of Henry VIII, an 8-volume work published in 1819.Born in 1771 in St Thomas Street in Central Winchester to recusant parents, John Lingard entered the English College at Douai, France, to commence training for the Catholic priesthood. In the English College, he excelled in the humanities before beginning the study of theology. Narrowly escaping attacks by mobs at the time of the French Revolution upon war declaration between United Kingdom and France, he returned to England in 1793 where he concluded his theological studies and was ordained. He then taught philosophy and, in 1805, wrote a series of letters which, after their publication in a periodical, were collected as Catholic Loyalty Vindicated. In 1806 the first edition of The Antiquities of the Anglo-Saxon Church appeared, a development of his informal lectures.
Joseph Hilaire Pierre René Belloc (/hɨˈlɛər ˈbɛlək/; French: [ilɛʁ bɛlɔk]; 27 July 1870[1] – 16 July 1953) was an Anglo-French writer and historian. He was one of the most prolific writers in England during the early twentieth century. He was known as a writer, orator, poet, sailor, satirist, man of letters, soldier and political activist. He is most notable for his Catholic faith, which had a strong impact on his works, and his writing collaboration with G. K. Chesterton.[2][3][4] He was President of the Oxford Union and later MP for Salford from 1906 to 1910. He was a noted disputant, with a number of long-running feuds, but also widely regarded as a humane and sympathetic man. Belloc became a naturalised British subject in 1902, but kept his French citizenship (double citizenship) [more]

LEXI’S BABY SITTER
*************************
NARRATION
*************************
A Man’s Best Friend happened to be no other but a dog.
Everywhere he went, his best friend followed him with an unwavering banner of loyalty with or without a collar and a leach as symbolized by the non-verbal communication of the constant tail wagging…
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
Beware all ye readers, for this is an anti-hero story where man becomes the antagonist and dog becomes the protagonist in the natural setting OF THE WILD HABITATION OF HUMANITY
The Poet Emmanuel Kojo Baah presents
*************************
LEXI’S BABY SITTER
*************************
Yes sometimes, a dog dreams, and becomes a hero.
And sometimes a dog gets on the nerves of a man.
A dog could make a man angry like a nagging little kid.
A dog could whimper.
A dog could howl like a wolf.
And the most scary, intimidating and annoying sound of all that a dog could make is barking.
Hark. A dog harks, and spits, and grinds all of its canines together, ready to tear up any Frankenstein and nibble the bones clean, especially when put on hunger strike.
This story is set in Ghana, in Africa, for the convenience of the author’s cinematic aspirations and artistic endeavors to represent it in his filmmaking career. The site where the action and sequence of events had taken place might also peak the curiosity of AIC Education’s Annual Changemaker Challenge participants.
The setting is also motivated in serving the purpose of exposing Heritage Academy Farm’s Sustainable Agricultural Site, whose previous manager, was called Appoo Brim. [more]

Once Only, In The Occasional Travelling Of Thirty Years, Did I Lose
Any Important Article Of Luggage; And That Loss Occurred, Not Under
The Haphazard, Devil-Take-The-Hindmost Confusion Of English, Or The
Elaborate Misrule Of Continental Journeys, But Through The Absolute
Perfection And Democratic Despotism Of The American System. I Had To
Give Up A Visit To The Scenery Of Cooper's Best Indian Novels--No
Slight Sacrifice--And Hasten At Once To New York To Repair The Loss.
This Incident Brought Me, On An Evening Near The Middle Of September
1874, On Board A River Steamboat Starting From Albany, The Capital Of
The State, For The Empire City. The Banks Of The Lower Hudson Are As
Well Worth Seeing As Those Of The Rhine Itself, But Even America Has
Not Yet Devised Means Of Lighting Them Up At Night, And Consequently I
Had No Amusement But Such As I Could Find In The Conversation Of My
Fellow-Travellers. With One Of These, Whose Abstinence From Personal
Questions Led Me To Take Him For An Englishman, I Spoke Of My Visit To
Niagara--The One Wonder Of The World That Answers Its Warranty--And To
Montreal. As I Spoke Of The Strong And General Canadian Feeling Of
Loyalty To The English Crown And Connection, A Yankee Bystander
Observed--
"Wal, Stranger, I Reckon We Could Take 'Em If We Wanted Tu!"
"Yes," I Replied, "If You Think Them Worth The Price. But If You Do,
You Rate Them Even More Highly Than They Rate Themselves; And English
Colonists Are Not Much Behind The Citizens Of The Model Republic In
Honest Self-Esteem."
"Wal," He Said, "How Much Du Yew Calc'late We Shall Hev To Pay?"
"Not More, Perhaps, Than You Can Afford; Only California, And Every
Atlantic Seaport From Portland To Galveston."
"Reckon Yew May Be About Right, Stranger," He Said, Falling Back With
Tolerable Good-Humour; And, To Do Them Justice, The Bystanders Seemed
To Think The Retort No Worse Than The Provocation Deserved. [more]

In 1866 the American minister at Rio de Janeiro turned from the reality
of a few incongruous and trouble-breeding Kentucky colonels,
slouched-hatted and frock-coated, wandering through the unfamiliar
streets of the great South American capital, and saw a nightmare. There
is a touch of panic in the despatch which he sent to Mr. Seward at a
time when both secretary and public were held too closely in the throes
of reconstruction to take alarm at so distant a chimera. Agents of the
Southern States, wrote the minister, claimed that not thousands of
families, but a hundred thousand families, would come to Brazil.
As a matter of fact, this exodus, when it took place, was so small that
it failed to raise a ripple on the social pool of the Western
Hemisphere. But to the self-chosen few who suffered shipwreck and
privation, financial loss from their already depleted store, disaster to
their Utopian dreams, and a great void in their hearts where once had
been love of country, it became a tragedy--the tragedy of existence.
The ardor that led a small band of irreconcilables to gather their
households and their household goods about them and flee from a personal
oppression, as had their ancestors before them, was destined to be short
lived. From the first, fate frowned upon their enterprise. They looked
for calm seas and favorable winds, but they found storms and shipwreck.
Their scanty resources were calculated to meet the needs of only the
crudest life, but upon the threshold of their goal they fell into the
red-tape trammels of a civilization older than their own. Where they
looked for a free country, a wilderness flowing with milk and honey,
which in their ignorance they imagined unpeopled, they found the
squatter had been intrenched since the Jesuit fathers and their
following explored the continent four centuries before. Finally, they
believed themselves to be the vanguard of a horde, but, once in the
breach, they found there was no following host.
Most of those who had the means reversed their flight. Others, with
nothing left but their broken pride, sought aid from the government they
abhorred, and were given a free passage back in returning men-of-war.
But when the reflux had waned and died, there was still a residue of
half a hundred families, most of whom were so destitute that they could
not reach the coast. With them stayed a very few who were held by their
premature investments or by a deeper loyalty or a greater pride. Among
the latter was the head of the divided house of Leighton.
The Reverend Orme Leighton was one of those to whom the war had brought
a double portion of bitterness, for the Leightons of Leighton, Virginia,
had fought not alone against the North, but against the North and the
Leightons of Leighton, Massachusetts.
To the Reverend Orme Leighton, a schism in the church would have meant
nothing unless it came to the point of cracking heads; but a schism in
governmental policy, which placed the right to govern one's self and own [more]

Title: The Book of Stories for the Storyteller
Author: Fanny E. Coe
Release Date: August 3, 2008 [EBook #26177]
Language: English
Character set encoding: ISO-8859-1
There is no need here to enter a plea for story-telling. Its value in the home and in the school is assured. Miss Bryant, in her charming book, How to Tell Stories to Children, says, "Perhaps never, since the really old days, has story-telling so nearly reached a recognized level of dignity as a legitimate and general art of entertainment as now." And, in the guise of entertainment, the story is often the vehicle conveying to the child the wholesome moral lesson or the bit of desirable knowledge so necessary to his well-being at the time. Thus it has come to be recognized that the ability to tell a story well is an important part of the equipment of the parent or the teacher of little children.
The parent is often at a loss for fresh material. Sometimes he "makes up" a story, with but poor satisfaction to himself or his child. The teacher's difficulty is quite otherwise. She knows of many good stories, but these same stories are scattered through many books, and the practical difficulty of finding time in her already overcrowded days for frequent trips to the library is well-nigh insurmountable. The quest is indefinitely postponed, with the result that the stories are either crowded out altogether, or that the teacher repeats the few tales she has at hand month after month, and year after year, until all freshness and inspiration are gone from the story time.
The stories in the present collection are drawn from many nations and from widely differing sources. Folk tales, modern fairy tales, and myths have a generous showing; and there is added a new field as a source for stories. This is Real Life, in which children soon begin to take decided interest. Under this heading appear tales of child life, of child heroes, of adult heroes, and of animals.
Mr Herbert L. Willett, of the University of Chicago, has said: "It is not through formal instruction that a child receives his impulses toward virtue, honour and courtesy. It is rather from such appeal to the emotions as can be made most effectually through the telling of a story. The inculcation of a duty leaves him passionless and unmoved. The narrative of an experience in which that same virtue finds concrete embodiment fires him with the desire to try the same conduct for himself. Few children fail to make the immediate connection between the hero or heroine of the story and themselves."
Because of this great principle of imitation, a large number of the stories in this little volume have been chosen for their moral value. They present the virtues of persistence, faithfulness, truthfulness, honesty, generosity, loyalty to one's word, tender care of animals, and love of friends and family. Some themes are emphasized more than once. "Hans the Shepherd Boy," "The Story of Li'l' Hannibal," and "Dust under the Rug," teach wholesome facts [more]

A digital wallet also known as "e-Wallet" refers to an electronic device, online service, or software program that allows one party to make electronic transactions with another party bartering digital currency units for goods and services. This can include purchasing items on-line with a computer or using a smartphone to purchase something at a store. Money can be deposited in the digital wallet prior to any transactions or, in other cases; an individual's bank account can be linked to the digital wallet. Users might also have their driver's license, health card, loyalty card(s) and other ID documents stored within the wallet. The credentials can be passed to a merchant's terminal wirelessly via near field communication (NFC). Increasingly, digital wallets are being made not just for basic financial transactions but to also authenticate the holder's credentials. For example, a digital wallet could verify the age of the buyer to the store while purchasing alcohol. The system has already gained popularity in Japan, where digital wallets are known as "wallet mobiles”. A crypto currency wallet is a digital wallet where private keys are stored for crypto currencies like bitcoin.
Online banking, also known as internet banking or web banking, is an electronic payment system that enables customers of a bank or other financial institution to conduct a range of financial transactions through the financial institution's website. The online banking system will typically connect to or be part of the core banking system operated by a bank and is in contrast to branch banking which was the traditional way customers accessed banking services. Some banks operate as a "direct bank" (or “virtual bank”), where they rely completely on internet banking.
Internet banking software provides personal and corporate banking services offering features such as viewing account balances, obtaining statements, checking recent transactions, transferring money between accounts, and making payments.
A crypto currency exchange, or a digital currency exchange (DCE), is a business that allows customers to trade crypto currencies or digital currencies for other assets, such as conventional fiat money or other digital currencies. A crypto currency exchange can be a market maker that typically takes the bid–ask spreads as a transaction commission for is service or, as a matching platform, simply charges fees.
A debit card is a payment card that deducts money directly from a consumer's checking account to pay for a purchase. Debit cards eliminate the need to carry cash or physical checks to make purchases directly from your savings. It is similar to a credit card, but unlike a credit card, the money is immediately transferred directly from the cardholder's bank account when performing any transaction
A credit card is a payment card issued to users (cardholders) to enable the cardholder to pay a merchant for goods and services based on the cardholder's promise to the card issuer to pay them for the amounts plus the other agreed charges.[1] The card issuer (usually a bank) creates a revolving account and grants a line of credit to the cardholder, from which the cardholder can borrow money for payment to a merchant or as a cash advance.
As Electronic banks and E-wallets and Crypto currency Exchanges are important in internet shopping and Ecommerce and crypto currency trading. We have nowadays many online payment providers and so it becomes very difficult for the users to compare in between them to choose the best in term of deposit and withdraw fees.
I will not go in detail on each payment provider services, rules and fees. I will just list roughly most commonly used online payment providers for sort of comparison in between them. I will specifically compare the withdraw and deposit fees for each one. I will mention also some of the difficulties I met with some of them because lack of their services in my country Palestine.
I will also show how to get Visa and Master Debit Cards online. [more]
