Moments come and go; quick flickers in time. Yet those moments can have the profoundest impact on our lives. Either we seize them, and wield them to our needs, or we let them go. It’s the moments we let go that, I believe, remain with us strongest—because regret is something that never leaves us.

Sometimes we have to hit rock bottom before we can make our way back up.

I'd like to widen people's awareness of the tremendous timespan lying ahead--for our planet, and for life itself. Most educated people are aware that we're the outcome of nearly 4bn years of Darwinian selection, but many tend to think that humans are somehow the culmination. Our sun, however, is less than halfway through its lifespan. It will not be humans who watch the sun's demise, 6bn years from now. Any creatures that then exist will be as different from us as we are from bacteria or amoebae.

The problem with gross domestic product is the gross bit. There are no deductions involved: all economic activity is accounted as if it were of positive value. Social harm is added to, not subtracted from, social good. A train crash which generates £1bn worth of track repairs, medical bills and funeral costs is deemed by this measure as beneficial as an uninterrupted service which generates £1bn in ticket sales.

Sometimes that’s all we really have to get us through the hard times. Something as empty and useless as words can be what keeps us treading water in the raging and unforgiving river that is life. And that is exactly what they’ve been for me.

Pemimpin politik Melayu itu, di mana jua duduknya (baik dalam BN ataupun dalam pembangkang), dia mestilah pertama-tama menjadi pemimpin bagi orang Melayu dahulu; dan seterusnya baru menjadi pemimpin untuk semua keturunan dan agama dengan penuh keadilan; tidak menindas dan merampas peluang dan hak-hak kaum lain. Dia bukan sahaja membela Islam, nasib dan kebudayaan Melayu, tetapi boleh dilihat tidak berbelah hati untuk membela kepentingan Islam serta Melayu.

THE SHEEPDOGS Most humans truly are like sheep Wanting nothing more than peace to keep To graze, grow fat and raise their young, Sweet taste of clover on the tongue. Their lives serene upon Life’s farm, They sense no threat nor fear no harm. On verdant meadows, they forage free With naught to fear, with naught to flee. They pay their sheepdogs little heed For there is no threat; there is no need. To the flock, sheepdog’s are mysteries, Roaming watchful round the peripheries. These fang-toothed creatures bark, they roar With the fetid reek of the carnivore, Too like the wolf of legends told, To be amongst our docile fold. Who needs sheepdogs? What good are they? They have no use, not in this day. Lock them away, out of our sight We have no need of their fierce might. But sudden in their midst a beast Has come to kill, has come to feast The wolves attack; they give no warning Upon that calm September morning They slash and kill with frenzied glee Their passive helpless enemy Who had no clue the wolves were there Far roaming from their Eastern lair. Then from the carnage, from the rout, Comes the cry, “Turn the sheepdogs out!” Thus is our nature but too our plight To keep our dogs on leashes tight And live a life of illusive bliss Hearing not the beast, his growl, his hiss. Until he has us by the throat, We pay no heed; we take no note. Not until he strikes us at our core Will we unleash the Dogs of War Only having felt the wolf pack’s wrath Do we loose the sheepdogs on its path. And the wolves will learn what we’ve shown before; We love our sheep, we Dogs of War. Russ Vaughn 2d Bn, 327th Parachute Infantry Regiment 101st Airborne Division Vietnam 65-66

DESPERATELY SEEKING EPIC You’re my father. I don’t know much about you. I know your name is Paul James, you’re a thrill seeker, and once upon a time you did stunts and people called you ‘Epic.’ I’ve been told you don’t know about me. That it’s complicated. But for me it’s simple. Here’s the thing: I’m twelve years old . . . and I’m dying. And as much as this could crush my mother, I have to meet you before I go. In time, I’m sure she’ll understand. She’s still in love with you. So, Epic, if you read this, please come back. You don’t have to be my dad. You don’t even have to tell me you love me or you’re sorry. Just come see me.

Bending down, I press a firm kiss to her forehead. “You are my most epic adventure, princess.

And there it is. The suck. It’s been one day and he’s already sucking me back in.

She’s a very drastic woman. Not even I could have predicted she’d do something like that.

Did my insides just liquefy and drip to the floor? Why, oh why, does he have to say things like that to me? Why does this sexy-as-hell man have to make me feel so... special? He likes the way it feels when I look at him?

The brothers are so different, polar opposites in fact, that I find myself drawn to each one for different reasons. One is so strong and responsible; so much so, not even death can keep him from taking care of those he loves. The other, broken and lost, wishing time could rewind on one hand, but using any method necessary to forget time on the other.

... Şunu iyi bilin ki hiçbir kadın, kalbinizde, sizin orada sakladığınız o ölen kadınla dirsek dirseğe oturmak istemez. Sizi gönüllü bir hastabakıcı gibi sevmemi istiyorsunuz. Acıdığım için bir sürü şey yapabilirim; bakın, bunu açıkça söylüyorum; her şeyi yapabilirim ama, sevemem. ... Sizin tasarınız gerçekleştirilemez. Hem Bn. De Mortsauf hem Lady Arabella olmak...peki ama, dostum, suyla ateşin birleşmesini istemek değil midir bu?... Lady Arabella'yı değerini anlayamayacak kadar erken tanımışsınız, onun aleyhinde konuşmanız da bana yaralanan benliğinizin öcünü almanız gibi geliyor. Bn. De Mortsauf'u da çok geç anlamışsınız. Herbirini öbürü olmadığı için cezalandırmışsınız. Ya benim başıma ne gelecek, ben ki ne biriyim, ne öteki?

Back in the late 1970s, the very affluent Hunt brothers decided to bring about the remonetization of silver and started buying enormous quantities of silver, driving the price up. Their rationale was that as the price rose, more people would want to buy, which would keep the price rising, which in turn would lead to people wanting to be paid in silver. Yet, no matter how much the Hunt brothers bought, their wealth was no match for the ability of miners and holders of silver to keep selling silver onto the market. The price of silver eventually crashed and the Hunt brothers lost over $1bn, probably the highest price ever paid for learning the importance of the stock‐to‐flow ratio, and why not all that glitters is gold.3 (See Figure 2.4)

Some of the world’s biggest banks and investor groups have swung behind a pledge to raise $200bn by the end of next year to combat climate change. In a move the UN said was unprecedented, leading insurers, pension funds and banks have joined forces to help channel the money to projects that will help poorer countries deal with the effect of global warming and cut reliance on fossil fuels. The announcement came at the start of a UN climate summit in New York aimed at bolstering momentum for a global agreement to lower planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions due to be signed in Paris at the end of 2015. “Change is in the air,” said UN secretary-general, Ban Ki-moon. “Today’s climate summit has shown an entirely new, co-operative global approach to climate change.” The summit opened with business and government pledges to make cities greener, create a renewable energy “corridor” in Africa and rein in the clearing of forests for palm oil plantations. The private sector’s contributions marked a “major departure” from past climate summits, the UN said, adding in a statement that financial groups “had never previously acted together on climate change at such a large scale”. One obstacle to the Paris agreement is developing countries’ insistence that richer nations must fulfil pledges made nearly five years ago to raise $100bn a year by 2020 for climate action.

When Jeremiah had first arrived at the village in the company of Ezekiel, he hated all Indians. Potowatomie Indians had slaughtered his mother, Shoshone dog soldiers had mutilated his father, and the thought of any Indians being anything but monsters was a thought he didn't entertain. But the patience and discipline of Buffalo Thunder had slowly opened his mind to the realization that people were what they were not by the color of their skin, the clothes they wore, the place where they lived, but by the character within their spirit and the life that revealed what their heart held deep within. There were good and bad among any group of people, no matter the color, language or land.

I know you folks are gonna do well wherever you stop and I want you to know, I will think of you often and pray for you every time the Lord brings you to mind.

Thus, a battleship cost around £10m in 1940. Building that battleship today might cost £500m, but to build a battleship representing the same proportion of current GDP would mean spending £2.5bn.

De beste organisatoren vind ik altijd die organisatoren die een politiek statement willen maken door niet bijvoorbeeld die mensen te programmeren die de beste bundels van het jaar schreven (want dat is maar iemands mening) maar op radicaal politieke wijze te kiezen voor naamsbekendheid. Zo word je poëziefestival jaar in jaar uit een geheid succes, zonder dat je je conformeert aan meninkjes uit het veld. En aan hen die wanstaltig beweren dat poëziefestivals en prime time praatprogrammas niet hetzelfde zijn: think again. Het gaat om de radicale keuze voor de familiestructuur. Genadeloos de BN laag weerspiegelen. Tegendraads je eigen DWDDtje draaien, tegen de publieke opinie in, ten dienste van de grote roem en het grote publiek. Zodat uiteindelijk, een paar honderd jaar later, iemand zal zeggen: nou nou. Wat een radicale beweging, daar in het begin van de 21e eeuw, die do-it-yourself Matthijs van Nieuwkerk is het toch maar mooi gelukt een flinke stempel op de canon te drukken door nooit naar de plebejische kritieken te luisteren.

confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart, and that’s what I meant when I said you have to believe it with your whole heart, you can’t just try it out to see if you like it, with the heart, man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. And on down in verse 13, For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved. “See, my friend. It’s that simple. God made it simple so everyone could understand it. We’re sinners, we deserve hell forever, but God bought us the free gift of eternal life, and all we have to do is accept it, believing with our whole heart, and we will have it. That, my friend, is life eternal in Heaven with God and your mother. Would you like to do that?” Hoback hung his head again, then lifted his tear-filled eyes to Tate, “Yassuh, I would.” Tate led the big man in a simple prayer, asking God’s forgiveness and asking for the free gift of eternal life. When the amens were said, Hoback lifted his face, smiling and reached out to shake Tate’s hand. Tate looked down to see his hand disappear in the big ham-hock fist of Hoback and grinned, as Hoback said, “Thank you, thank you.

Anyone that chooses to make his own way without using the wisdom of those that have gone before will usually fail and fail miserably. Man does not have enough lifetime to make all the same mistakes over and over again, wisdom chooses to profit from the mistakes of others and make greater progress than those that have gone before.

Tatum, again turned around in his seat to look back at his friends, said, "It's what they call frontier freedom Lizzie. Sumpin' ya' gotta fight for ever' day. If'n the Indians don't take it from you, the critters or the mountains will. Freedom ain't easy, ain't never easy.

homesickness, because we miss those things and those people. That's O.K. But now, to be able to move on, here's what we need to do. We try not to look back so much, although that's O.K., it's kinda like checkin' your back trail, and we focus on lookin' forward. You know, to that which we haven't seen yet, what tomorrow's gonna bring. What new adventures are waitin' out there for us? When we can look forward, keepin' in our hearts what lies behind, then we can enjoy what the good Lord has for us just around the next corner.

O.K., Maggie. You will note, we have no clocks, hourglasses, or even calendars. Time is measured in years, seasons, or even phases of the moon. But, we have no way of keeping track of what month or day it is, except our own memories. Now, as to when we'll get somewhere, there's just no telling. Because, we don't even know where we're going, so we don't know when we'll get there. I can tell you this. If we're careful, and fortunate, and the Good Lord is willing, we will make it to someplace to camp for the night, and hopefully have something to eat before we try to get some sleep. And if we're careful, and fortunate, and the Good Lord is willing, we'll wake up in the morning and start again. Everything in this country will either stick you, sting you, bite you, kick you, claw you, pluck your eyes out or try to kill you. And if that doesn't get you the weather will try to drown you, bake you, freeze you, or bury you. So, if we're careful, and fortunate, and the Good Lord is willing, we'll make it somewhere, but for right now, I just don't know where.

But if Jesus had done that, the price for our sin would not have been paid! Jesus went to the cross to pay a debt he did not owe, because we, you and I, owed a debt we could not pay!

The inability of refugees to earn a living within the standard UNHCR approach was not only psychologically diminishing for the refugees, but also highlighted the lack of viability of the financing model. Paying for 4 million refugees to live without work for ten years was manifestly unsustainable. Even at a cost of only $1,000 per refugee per year, which would have implied a drastic reduction in lifestyle relative to Syrian pre-refugee conditions, the bill would have amounted to $40bn.

Today, the world spends approximately $75bn a year on the 10 per cent of refugees who moved to developed regions and only around $5bn a year on the 90 per cent who remain in developing regions.

Keynes’s third act of statesmanship was to negotiate the American loan in September-December 1945. He estimated that Britain’s deficit on current account would total nearly $7bn over the first three post-war years. Keynes went to Washington in September 1945 to seek a grant of $5bn ‘without strings’. He returned, three months and several famous rows later, with a loan of $3.75bn conditional on a commitment to make sterling convertible into other currencies a year after the loan agreement was ratified. It was probably the most humiliating experience of his life.

percentages, that’s a Big Win toward a Rich Life. ☐  Fixed costs (50–60%) ☐  Investments (10%) ☐  Savings (5–10%) ☐  Guilt-Free Spending (20–35%) ☐  Reassess current subscriptions (cut if necessary). ☐  Renegotiate cable and internet bills. ☐  Revisit spending goals: Are they accurate?

The only thing it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. Son, you can’t always leave justice to those that are carrying a badge or a baton or wearing judge’s robes.

He thought if it was what was the Lord’s will for him and his life, there would be no doubts but only peace, at least that is what he had been taught in his younger years at his mother’s knee.

Yessir, I needed that fer a long time. An’ I reckon I oughta be sayin’ I’m sorry to the Lord for thinkin’ all this time He didn’t hear me, yet He did and got me safe outta that war and kept me in one piece.” He shook his head, remembering the many times he faced death and finally realized that God had indeed delivered him to safety. “He musta done it for this very day.” He sighed heavily, lifting his shoulders, shook his head, and said, “Yessir.

More gold fer us, but it’s not really a good thing when all the inns are full. That’s how you ya get messiahs, and air BnBs.

In this post I am going to take a look at what an investor can do to improve a hedge fund investment through the use of dynamic capital allocation. For the purposes of illustration I am going to use Cantab Capital’s Aristarchus program – a quantitative fund which has grown to over $3.5Bn in assets under management since its opening with $30M in 2007 by co-founders Dr. Ewan Kirk and Erich Schlaikjer.

Hate me for leaving. Hate me for being a dick. But don’t hate me because I didn’t love you.

As a mother, who loves her child so fiercely, and who sees all of her beauty, inside and out, that statement just crushed me.

body shakes as I continue to cry, the images of Paul flickering through my mind like a TV channel with poor reception; quick, and not nearly long enough to really understand. Which is Paul down to a T. You only ever get a taste, and it’s never enough.

Over $5.3 trillion of currencies are traded every day, yet nations like the Philippines, Peru, Poland or the UK hold less than $80bn in reserves to defend against speculators. Enough to last only a few days.

I did look obvious. Son of a bitch. “Not yet, Charlotte, but soon,” he says,
