Movies and books are related to the metaverse in that they can be used to explore the concept of virtual reality. They can also be used to explore the implications of virtual reality on society.
In the 1999 blockbuster film, “The Matrix”, the world is revealed to be a simulated reality, created by machines to keep humans docile while their bodies are used as an energy source. The film’s writer and director, the Wachowskis, drew inspiration from a range of philosophical and religious sources, including Jean Baudrillard’s concept of the “hyperreal” and the Hindu concept of Maya.
In the years since the film’s release, the concept of the matrix has become a popular metaphor for the internet and other digital technologies. In a 2014 interview, the Wachowskis spoke of their hope that the film would help to “liberate people from the matrix of control that they live in”.
The matrix is related to the metaverse in the sense that both are virtual realities that can be accessed through digital technologies. The metaverse is a more advanced version of the matrix, which allows for more interaction and immersion. It is possible to create your own avatar and explore the metaverse in a way that is not possible in the matrix.
The metaverse is also a more open and democratic space, in which anyone can create a virtual world or join an existing one. In the matrix, people are limited to the world that has been created for them by the machines.
Ready Player One & Snow Crash
Ready Player One takes place in a world that is strikingly similar to the metaverse described in Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash. In both worlds, people spend most of their time in a virtual reality world called the metaverse. The metaverse is a place where people can be anyone they want to be, and do anything they want to do.
The similarities between Ready Player One and Snow Crash are more than just superficial. Both books explore the implications of people spending most of their time in a virtual world. Ready Player One suggests that the metaverse could eventually replace the real world, while Snow Crash suggests that the metaverse could eventually lead to the collapse of society.
Both books are also about the search for a hidden treasure. In Snow Crash, the treasure is a software program called the Metaverse Navigator. In Ready Player One, the treasure is an Easter egg hidden inside the virtual world of the metaverse. The metaverse is a fascinating concept, and it’s no surprise that it has inspired both books and movies.
The metaverse offers a glimpse into a future where people can escape the limitations of the real world. It’s a place where people can be anyone they want to be, and do anything they want to do.
Bonus: Space Jam
In 1996, Space Jam was released to the world. The movie starred NBA superstar Michael Jordan and the Looney Tunes characters, and quickly became a classic. 22 years later, the movie is still being talked about and referenced. There’s even a Space Jam 2. But what is it about this movie that has made it so popular?
I believe that the answer lies in the metaverse. The metaverse is a digital world that exists beyond our own. It’s a place where we can be anyone we want to be, and do anything we want to do. It’s a place where we can escape the everyday struggles of our lives and just have fun.
And that’s exactly what Space Jam offers us. It takes us to a place where we can escape our reality and just have some fun. We get to see Michael Jordan and the Looney Tunes characters team up and defeat the evil aliens. We get to see them play basketball and defeat the aliens in a game that is just as exciting as any real game of basketball.
The metaverse is a place where we can be anyone we want to be, and do anything we want to do.
And that’s why Space Jam is so popular. It offers us a chance to escape our reality and have some fun. It allows us to explore a new world and experience some amazing adventures. It’s no wonder that it has become a classic.
Movies and books are related to the metaverse because they are both ways of escaping reality. In the metaverse, you can be anyone you want to be and do anything you want to do. In movies and books, you can be anyone you want to be and do anything you want to do, but you’re limited to what the filmmakers or authors want you to do. The metaverse gives you more control over your own life, while movies give you more control over someone else’s life.
As we continue to explore the metaverse, we are constantly discovering new and amazing ways to connect with others and experience new and wonderful virtual worlds. Whether we are creating or exploring, we are constantly expanding the possibilities of the metaverse. Thank you for being a part of this journey!

Bruce Bailey struggles to remember who he is and where he is as he bounces back and forth between his everyday life and another world...a world that seems to be evolving around him. He never knows when he will be yanked from one to the other or what he will find when he gets there. With the help of friends he can't even remember, he tries to make sense of what is happening and why. Then suddenly this new reality, which seemed to be coming to life around him, starts to rip itself apart. Can he and his friends stop it in time? What will happen to them if the mindscape they call The Fields destroys itself while they are still there? Will they survive?
It is silly, funny, always surprising and contains a lot of pop culture references for those of us raised in the 1980s. A very fun read!
It's like SpongeBob or Harry Potter, made with kids in mind but definitely something adults will enjoy too.
Not as long as other books."Thanks for the great endorsement, 'Ace'."
A delightfully creative and nostalgic adventure!
This book was such a fun read! The world building was unique and I love how the author balanced an exciting, satisfying story with an ending full of new questions and possibilities! The 80s references were brilliant and I love how the author includes bits of pop culture which are iconic but you don't see in other books and media that throwback to the 80s and 90s. I am trying super hard not to spoil anything because the surprises were so much fun! I definitely think pre-teens all the way up to adult millennials and "proper" grown ups can enjoy this cheeky, creative adventure!
What a fun read!
This book will make you smile, laugh out loud and keep you wondering! I could so see this as a movie because of the action and descriptions of settings, characters, and situations! It takes you away for awhile! Loved it!
Brian Deaton, Baron de Fields, is an artist, author, conservationist, egotist, entrepreneur, father, preservationist, scholar and techie. At least that's what his social media profiles say. But you can't believe everything you read online.
The Baron was born an old man sometime in the last century somewhere near Cincinnati, Ohio. Sometime in this century, he moved to somewhere near Daytona Beach, Florida, to raise minions and enjoy the tropical climate.
As a young man, the Baron and his friends had otherworldly adventures so unbelievably implausible that he is compiling them into a (this) book series that will be marketed as fiction.
Some believe his adventures continue to this day.

Zamani Foundation collects and publishes Folklore and
Mythology from around the world to cultivate cultural
agency and support Primary and Secondary school education.
Zamani is especially interested in publishing
original stories and artwork inspired by the rich folklore
and mythology from diverse regions of the world where there is a thriving oral tradition.
Our website is designed to showcase the work of contributors

While traditional aid and assistance can be invaluable
in moments of crisis, it is rarely designed for long-term
sustainability. In some cases, it can even create a
culture of dependence that undermines the recipient's
human integrity and compromises their ability to develop
their strengths. Moreover, while traditional crisis
aid serves best where conflict and disease threaten
people's very survival, it does not attend to the cultural
and intellectual development of the society's children.
Zamani responds to this need by focusing on children
and encouraging them to strengthen the connection between
their cultural heritage and the promise of education.
Because the stories and artwork that is published and
sold comes directly from the children and the communities
that benefit from the revenue generated, each community
has true ownership of the education resources they enjoy,

Christmas is quickly approaching and many of us are busily shopping, decorating and baking. We listen to Christmas carols during our day, but don’t know some of the history of our most beloved songs.
There is a moving story from World War I. It is the story of the Christmas Truce of 1914.
Five months into the war, nearly one million lives had already been lost. The Germans had pushed their way through Belgium into France. The Germans, Belgians and British wouldn’t budge and literally began to dig in. The Christmas Spirit took hold in the most unlikely place – the bloody western front.
On Christmas Eve, more than 100 years ago, there was a raising of a soft sound never heard before on the battlefield. It was a Christmas carol. The German’s strongly sung out “Stille Nacht” and when they finished, the British replied with the same carol – Silent Night.
The next morning, in some places, German soldiers emerged from their trenches, calling out “Merry Christmas” in English. Allied soldiers came out warily to greet them. Over the course of the day, some troops exchanged gifts of cigarettes, food, buttons and hats. The Christmas truce also allowed both sides to finally bury their dead comrades, whose bodies had lain for weeks on “no man’s land,” the ground between opposing trenches.
Although the truce was short-lived, it was a time to be remembered – a time when soldiers stopped slaughtering each other and showed some peace and humanity in the midst of a brutal war.
You can read a little more about the Christmas truce here: Christmas Truce WW 1 1914
This parallels what’s going on today in America. It seems like so many are at each other’s throat fighting tooth and nail. Can’t we come together as one – even just for Christmas?
I’m sure many carols have their own unique story, but Silent Night has two wonderful stories that I know about.
How did this beloved carol come to be?
The song was first performed on Christmas Eve mass in 1818 at St Nicholas parish church in Oberndorf, a village near Salzburg, Austria. A young priest, Father Joseph Mohr, had come to Oberndorf the year before. He had written the lyrics of the song “Stille Nacht” in 1816, but needed music to go with it. He brought the lyrics to Franz Gruber, a schoolmaster and organist in a nearby village and asked him to compose a melody and guitar accompaniment for the Christmas Eve mass. Together they performed the new carol during the mass.
It did not instantly receive the worldwide recognition it has come to know, however. It was not until years later in 1825 when Carl Mauracher was rebuilding the organ at St. Nicholas that a handwritten copy of the words and music was found in the organ loft.
There is folklore that the church organ was broken and Fr. Mohr would have no special music for the Christmas Eve mass. The poem he wrote kept running through his mind, but he needed a tune. His friend, Franz Gruber, wrote the music so they could sing it together accompanied by a guitar. There is no evidence of this, but it does add a little spice to the story.
Why Is “Silent Night” So Popular?
Why has “Silent Night” become one of our most beloved carols? Is it the words — simple and tender? Or is it the tune — peaceful, memorable and so easy to play on the guitar or piano?
It isn’t a fast-paced carol like Handel’s “Joy to the World.” It’s not rich, theologically, like Charles Wesley’s “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”. It doesn’t have a complex tune like “Angels We Have Hear on High”.
“Silent Night” is quiet and reflective, calling us to meditate on the scene. The tender words and melody create an image of peace:”All is calm, all is bright.”
It calls us to dwell on the Mother and Child —
“‘Round yon Virgin, mother and Child,
Holy Infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace.”
You actually feel as the “shepherds quake at the sight.” You can imagine the “heavenly hosts sing Alleluia.”
You can picture of light by the words:
“Glories stream from heaven afar….”
“Son of God, love’s pure light,
Radiant beams from Thy holy face….”
Who is in this manger? What is the significance of this birth? What is Christmas really about? Perhaps “Silent Night” is beloved because it reminds us a very clear and simple way, the truth behind it all – the truth that changes everything:
“Christ, the Savior is born!”
Sing “Silent Night” this Christmas and let its gentle peace wash over you
and its spirited affirmation renew your soul:
“Jesus, Lord, at thy birth!”
“Jesus, Lord, at thy birth!”
From our PICC family to yours,
Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!

I was just reading in C.S. Lewis The Discarded Image (yes, that C.S. Lewis), when the concept of the Earthly Paradised came up.
I've heard of that before, of course, in the lectures at university. There is almost no mediaeval map where the Earthly Paradise isn't pictured at the top of the map - which is to say, somewhere in the east. Many of the travelers of this time were looking for that elusive place, without any success.
The paradise seemed always to loom just around the corner, and whenever they came around, it was still farther away – a Fata Morgana, or rather: an illusion of Fata Morgana, as "fata" is Italian for "fairy", which translates the Fata Morgana into Morgan the Fairy – Morgaine la Faye, cast as a Goddess of Illusion and Deceit.
When reading those tales of searching and not finding, I had a sense of déjà-vu. I knew the story already, and it took some time until I found out who had retold that story of a lifelong search in such a way to affect me until today.
It is Michael Ende, in a short story called Einer langen Reise Ziel (roughly translated into A Long Journey's End). It is in fact the main character's long search for a home – a home he finds depicted in a painting. First, he longs to get the picture, and soon after, he longs to find the place itself.
As could be expected of Michael Ende, this place can be found in one of the blank spots on the world's maps, and it is never clear whether this place has always been there or if it was the main character's imagination or wish to have it placed there. And it is clear that finding this place can't come without paying a price …
It is Michael Ende's mastery that blends the realistic and the fantastic so well that I adore and get lost in whenever I re-read his tales. The story is told in a dreamy fashion with just a hint of melancholy, a basic minor key that permeates everything. It is a tale about someone who wants to leave this world as fast as possible, because it makes him feel uncomfortable, but when he finally finds his destin[y/ation], it isn't clear whether he found his Earthly Paradise or his Personal Hell.
I guess that this is the main characteristic of the Earthly Paradise, wherever you go: It is always somewhere else.

Introducing the Rett Swinson Mysteries
About Soft Hearts
When Harriet “Rett” Swinson’s husband betrayed their twenty-year marriage, he destroyed their working relationship, too. Now Rett drinks too much wine and doesn’t see much reason to get out of bed in the morning—until one day there’s a knock on the door by the across-street-neighbor asking for a ride to quilting class. Before Rett knows it, the quirky, artistic community at Needless Necessities has roped her in as a volunteer and is making her wonder if she should pick up the painting hobby she abandoned long ago to make her husband’s real-estate venture successful.
Rett is in the process of rebuilding her life when a group of Halloween trick-or-treaters discovers her neighbor, retired English professor and poet Wanda Hightower, an enigmatic shut-in known for her outlandish tirades, dead on her porch, stabbed in the back and through the heart. Was her killer a random psychopath in search of blood on All Hallow’s Eve—or one of the neighbors who helped with her lawn’s makeover gone wrong? Wanda claimed to have dirt on nearly everyone in the neighborhood, so the list of suspects is long.
Finding the killer will require Rett to reconstruct Wanda’s turbulent past. Meanwhile, she will have to weigh her growing attraction for Homicide Detective Darryl Schmidt against her desperate need for independence—and a growing feeling that an innocent man is being singled out by the police for the murder.
The first installment in the Rett Swinson Mystery Series, Soft Hearts explores how the fragile vulnerability of human beings can cause them to break — or to discover their greatest strengths.
What Readers Are Saying About Soft Hearts:
What a super, super great book. The poetry that is sprinkled throughout is such a beautiful touch. It really takes the book to another level, taking a casual reader who wants to know who murdered poor Wanda on a journey with poetry that is both centuries old and modern.
A mystery with substance!
I really did enjoy it. And I’m not just saying that. It made me want to keep turning the pages to see what happened.
Rett is personable, believable, and not too perfect. I really enjoyed Soft Hearts.”
An easy read and moves along logically to an entertaining climax. Your writing and your story are strong and engaging. It kept me turning the pages.
Enthralling. Ingenious. Thrilling. I look forward to reading more Rett Swinson installments.


For those of us juggling multiple hats, finding time to read can be a truly difficult task.
But these five books can be game-changers when it comes to productivity (and therefore, give you more time)!
Top tip: if you struggle with finding time to read, try audiobooks - I love listening to them when I’m in the car or exercising. Great way to multitask!
These books are written by amazing authors and offer great insights into overcoming distractions, mastering habits, reclaiming time and stepping up your productivity game.
So let’s dive right in!
This book is amazing if you’re easily distracted and have a hard time focusing. Eyal has a great system for understanding and overcoming distractions.
It operates on a simple yet powerful premise: the root cause of distractions is our desire to escape discomfort.
As Eyal puts it, “distraction is merely a mismanagement of internal triggers.” And these triggers can be anything from stress, anxiety, or even boredom.
What I like the most about Eyal’s approach is that he doesn't advocate for eliminating discomfort altogether - let’s face it, this would be a lost battle. But he suggests a healthier way to deal with it.
This approach involves a four-step process:
So you can begin by identifying your internal triggers.
What are the emotions or situations that typically lead you to become distracted?
Once you have a list, you can pick one trigger to focus on and develop a strategy for managing it more effectively.
This book takes you on a journey of discovering your purpose - the very foundation of your actions.
According to Sinek, the most successful individuals and organizations are the ones that know WHY they do what they do.
This 'why' is the fuel that keeps the engine running, especially on challenging days when you feel like giving up.
The book popularized the concept of the Golden Circle: Why, How, and What.
Many people and organizations know 'what' they do and 'how' they do it, but few understand 'why' they do what they do.
Most organizations work from the outside in.
They focus on ‘what’ and ‘how’, but very often neglect ‘why’. On the other hand, the most innovative and successful people work with an ‘inside-out’ approach - the core of their business is their ‘why’ and this makes a big difference.
Having clarity on your 'why' can serve as a powerful motivation and direction for both your career and personal life.
So here’s my request for you - start by figuring out your 'why'. Why are you pursuing this career? Is it getting you closer to the life of your dreams?
Once you have your answer, make it visible in your workspace as a constant reminder.
This book is one of my favorites of all time! It talks about the compound effect of small habits in our lives.
We often underestimate the power of small, consistent actions because we expect success to happen quickly.
Go big, or go home! - Isn’t that the saying we keep hearing? Well, that’s just NOT true.
As this book stated: “success is the product of daily habits, not a one-time transformative change.”
James Clear presents a four-step model for habit formation and gives practical advice on how to make good habits appealing and bad habits unattractive.
Cue, Craving, Response and Reward.
According to Clear, the key to building good habits is to make the Cue obvious, the Craving attractive, the Response easy, and the Reward satisfying.
On the other hand, to break bad habits, you can make the Cue invisible, the Craving unattractive, the Response difficult, and the Reward unsatisfying.
His approach to building habits is grounded in science and real-life examples, making it a super interesting read for anyone seeking to start new habits or get rid of bad ones.
Try implementing a small habit related to your productivity for the next week. This could be anything from writing a to-do list each morning or setting aside a specific time each day for focused work.
This is a really fascinating idea: create an 'alter ego' to overcome personal limitations.
According to Herman, successful people, from athletes to entrepreneurs, have often used this concept—whether consciously or not—to overcome barriers and achieve their goals.
The book offers a step-by-step process to create your own alter ego, enabling you to step out of your comfort zone and tackle tasks you might find intimidating.
This might seem like an unusual approach, but Herman's compelling examples and science-backed explanations make a convincing case for the power of secret identities!
Think of a task or area of your work that you find challenging - create an 'alter ego' that excels in this area and try to channel this persona when tackling the task.
Of course, this may not be as simple as it sounds, but it’s a super interesting concept that’ll allow you to step out of your comfort zone and get things done!
THE book to read if you’re looking to reclaim your focus in an increasingly distracted world.
According to Newport, deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task.
In an era where it’s SO HARD to disconnect and where every notification draws our attention and scatters our focus, this skill becomes increasingly valuable.
The book offers practical advice on scheduling deep work, embracing boredom, and reducing distractions in our digital lives.
It gives a lot of examples and studies that emphasize the importance and benefits of deep work, making it a really interesting and engaging read.
And you can start putting this into practice today! Choose a time slot in your day for deep work—no distractions allowed. Start with a small period, like 30 minutes, and gradually increase as you become more comfortable and get better at doing undistracted work.
Short answer, the one that resonates with you the most at the moment.
It’s impossible to choose one book as the absolute best one for productivity as we are all different and work best in different ways.
These five books are all really good, well-written books that offer great insights into productivity, focus, and habit formation.
You don’t need to read them all at once of course, so just choose one that picks your interest the most and start there!
Reading is a great habit and I’m confident that all of them can add an incredible amount of value and get you the results you want.
By implementing the practical advice from these authors, you can take control of your time, increase your productivity, and move closer to your career and personal goals.
Remember, it's not about drastic changes, but small, consistent actions that lead to big results. So pick up a book, start with one action step, and let your journey to productivity begin!
I would love to hear your thoughts on any of them! Or if you’d add any other book to the list. Jump over to our FREE Facebook Community and let us know!

Malik Al Nasir is an author, a performance poet and a filmmaker from Liverpool, whose remarkable life has been the subject of much media attention internationally. Born in Toxteth in the mid '60s, Malik grew up facing a range of hardships that saw him enter the care system in the '70s and following his release back on to the streets of post-riot Toxteth in the '80s, he encountered the legendary poet and civil rights activist Gil Scott-Heron. This chance encounter was to be life changing for this traumatised and semi literate street kid, when Gil took Malik under his wing and mentored him from semi-literacy to a masters degree through poetry.
Malik’s body of work from that time entitled 'Ordinary Guy' was published in 2004 under his former name 'Mark T. Watson' and dedicated to Gil, with a foreword by legendary grandfather of rap Jalal Nuriddin (The Last Poets). Jalal introduced him to Islam and named him Malik and as Malik grew to produce music and film, he recorded with both Gil Scott-Heron and The Last Poets, who feature on his double album 'Rhythms of the Diaspora Vols 1 & 2' by Malik & The O.G's (Mentis Records 2015).
Malik has produced and appeared in several factual documentaries with Gil Scott-Heron, The Last Poets, Benjamin Zephaniah, Public Enemy, and many other luminaries of the spoken word and has been hand-reared by the urban griots and founders of revolutionary.
Malik started tracing his roots back through slavery over 15 years ago and has made some remarkable discoveries, which have featured on the BBC, as well as in the Times, The Daily Mail and The Wall Street Journal. Malik’s pioneering research has been recognised by Sir Hilary Beckles (Chair CARICOM Comission for slavery reparations), historian David Olusoga, as well as The University of Cambridge. Malik commences a PhD in history at the University of Cambridge with a full scholarship in Oct 2020 in recognition of the significance
Malik is writing two books, one about his life in the care system and his remarkable relationship with Gil Scott-Heron called ‘Letters To Gil’ out on 2nd September 2021, and another about his roots quest back to the slave plantations of Demerara out in 2022, both books will be published by William Collins, an imprint of Harper Collins.

"For Greater Glory" traces Mexico's Cristero War
By Stephen Holden / New York Times
“For Greater Glory,” an old-fashioned, Hollywood-style epic that overlays thundering hoof beats with a humid layer of piety, remembers the Cristero War, a bitter 20th-century conflict in which persecuted Roman Catholics rose up against the anticlerical Mexican
Largely played down by history books, the war, waged between 1926 and 1929, cost about 90,000 lives. Pope John Paul II later canonized more than two dozen saints and martyrs who fought on the Catholic side.
The movie is a much softer echo of fervent 1950s blockbusters with religious themes, like “The Robe,” set at the dawn of Christianity, in which humble true believers who are ready to sacrifice their lives for their faith stand up to their godless oppressors.

Finally Rosenfeld Media published the book I was waiting for since a long time: “Make It So. Interaction Design Lessons from Science Fiction” inspires with sci-fy interfaces from famous Science Fiction movies like “Brazil”, “Star Trek”, “Alien”, “The Matrix”, “Star Wars”,” Avatar”, “Men In Black”, “Iron Man”, and many more. Oh and yes of course including “Minority Report”.
The authors Nathan Shedroff and Christopher Noessel wrote this book for interface designers interested in learning best practices from sci-fi, understanding sci-fi’s role in design. Sounds great, doesn’t it? The book analyses the different forms of interfaces like mechanical controls, visual interfaces, volumetric projections, gestural interfaces, sonic interfaces, brain interfaces, augmented environments, anthropomorphic interfaces to deduce opportunities, contradictions and lessons learned for each interface type.

I think this is the simplest of the beaded daisy chains and teaches the basics of stitching back through beads to make a pattern. That makes it a great beading stitch for beginner's of all age to learn. It was my first introduction to working with beads - even if I didn't do the stitch quite right back then.
For reference, I re-learned this stitch the right way from the book Indian Bead-Weaving Patterns by Horace R. Goodhue. It's not the easiest bead pattern book to follow, but it is one of the most comprehensive compilations of Native American bead techniques. If you are interested in the book, I recommend you review this article on Native American Technique for Daisy Chain Stitch where I talk about it in more detail.


Hira Dhamala has been Managing Director of Karnali Excursions since the company was established in 1997. Prior to this, Hira and several friends started working together to lead treks, and this group of friends formed the basis of what is now Karnali Excursions.
Hira was born in the Himalayan village of Khanigaun, in the Langtang region, and to this day maintains a deep connection with the Himalaya Mountains. When he was twelve years old his family relocated to the jungle area of Chitwan, and the mountains became a distant memory, and no longer a daily presence in his life. When he decided on a career in tourism, Hira was drawn back to the mountains of his early childhood, and he began his intensive explorations of Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan.
Hira has led treks for over seventeen years now, and even when he is not personally guiding guests on Himalayan adventures, he often explores the outer reaches of the Himalayas to learn more about bird watching and Himalayan nature photography. Having successfully lead more than 2,000 people to the Mount Kailash Pilgrimage, has earned the great admiration and affection of these many pilgrims. Hira has led uncountable groups to Everest, Manaslu, Annapurna, Gasaburam and K2. Amongst his many clients are groups belonging to veteran mountaineer associations and the Royal Geographical Society.
When leading treks, Hira can always be counted on to relay the traditional stories of the region. Often he will quote from the ancient books of the Hindu and Buddhist traditions that relate to the areas being explored. He loves to tell the old stories of the mountains, especially those based on these ancient books.
Hira also contributes his time, efforts and financial support for social work in Nepal. In 2004 he helped build the Ratna Nagar Community Library in Chitwan where students, local farmers and the business community of Chitwan have access to over 10,000 books. He also focuses much of his free time promoting education for the handicapped and disadvantaged rural youth.
When he is not personally leading treks, Hira welcomes each guest and attends to all the details of their, ‘Journey of a Lifetime’. Over the years he has gathered a uniquely kind, capable and experienced staff who work in close co-operation, handling every aspect of the treks and tours organized by Karnali Excursions.


Portraits and quizzes:
Aleister Crowley, Éliphas Lévi and Allan Kardec
Who was Edward Alexander Crowley?
a- An American Major League Baseball player
b- An occultist, writer, and mountaineer
THE RIGHT ANSWER: b
Edward Alexander Crowley or Aleister Crowley a.k.a. the Beast 666, was a British occultist, writer and mountaineer. In fact, he took part in pioneering attempts to climb both K2 and Kanchenjunga in the early 1900s. He became a prolific author of poems, novels, and occult literature.
For me, it’s hard to summarise the complex life of Aleister Crowley, but I’m interested mostly in his “Magick” (yes, with a “ck”).
Crowley claimed that in the year 1904 on 8th April in Cairo, Egypt, at noon, a voice “from the furthest corner of the room” started to dictate “The Book of the Law” which became the basis of his new religion called “Thelema”.
The voice, according to the books written by Aleister Crowley, belonged to Aiwass, a superior intelligence and a discarnate being, maybe an angel.
As stated by this non-corporeal being, humanity was approaching a new era which was the “Æon of Horus” and that the primary precept, the rule or principle, to follow would be “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.”.
Although the “Revelation” of Aiwass, the knowledge acquired, the precept, and the implemetation of his religion, Crowley died in poverty in a rooming house.
Maybe, this was his will.
Who was Éliphas Lévi?
A- An esotericist and magician
B- An illustrator and a poet
THE RIGHT ANSWER: both of them
Some believe that the universe is ruled by invisible energies, like The Force in Star Wars Saga.
In the 19th century, there were a lot of people that believed in ethereal and natural forces, which was, maybe, a consequence of the idea by Franz Anton Mesmer and his mesmerism (I’m looking forward to writing something about it). Don’t forget that spiritism took hold in the same epoch too.
One of these believers was Alfonse Luis Constant which was the real name of Éliphas Lévi, born in 1810 and died in 1875 in Paris.
He was a prolific author, illustrator, poet, and writer. Constant, aka Éliphas Lévi, in a short time became one of the most influential esoteric authors, writing and publishing a remarkable series of works on magic. He was a master of the occult mysteries and had lots of followers.
Éliphas Lévi conceived the notion of “Astral Light”, a fluid that filled every living being and every space in the Universe. As a tool, this energy could be used by the Magician for good or for evil. In fact, according to Éliphas Lévi, it would have been the responsibility of the wise men to hide this Supreme Knowledge from the people.
But, remember! YOU, sceptic and wretched man!
Éliphas Lévi wasn’t “only a magician” he was also one of the most important esoteric writers of all time. All the modern occultists consider him one of the Great Men and the one who was able to “light the world with measured rationality fed by science and faith”!
As claimed by the authorities of the occult and some strange hooded figures, he wrote some of the cornerstones of modern occultism and esotericism. For example, books like “Dogme et rituel de la haute magie”, “Histoire de la magie”, and “La clef des grands mystères” are considered to be the founding works of occultism.
I’d love to write more about Éliphas Lévi… but I have to go. It’s late.
I’m in the middle of the night and the candle fire is out.
Also, there’s a light out of my window that’s calling me.
Who was Hippolyte Léon Denizard Rivail?
1- A writer of various manuals about pedagogy
2- The systematizer of Spiritism
THE RIGHT ANSWER: both of them.
He was born in Lyon on 3rd October in 1804 and died in 1869. In a part of his life, Hippolyte Léon Denizard Rivail was a french pedagogue. Infact, he was a brilliant student in the Yiverton istitute founded by Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi and once established in Paris, he founded a private school in which he used methods based on Pestalozzi’s ideas. In the mean time, he wrote a lot of books to spread his knowledge.
But one day, he discovered the table-turning phenomena that had come from the USA. Since then, he became Allan Kardec. With this penname, he wrote the fundamentals of Spiritism. It was a strategic choice because he was able to write and publish books in the pedagogy discipline with a serious, verified and certified profile.
So, Hippolyte, a.k.a. Allan Kardec, was the codifier of Spiritism, in particular, there are 5 fundamental books which have became the basis of this doctrine. These books have been reedited and republished until 2021.
I’m wondering if Allan Kardec is watching me, in this case I would say:
“Hello there, how are you? I hope you are well. I’m very sorry. My skeptical attitude has dragged me away from you.”
And you what would you ask Allan Kardec?

Bronwyn Hanna History and Heritage offers:
Dr Bronwyn Hanna trained as an architectural and planning historian with Professors Joan Kerr at Sydney University and Rob Freestone at UNSW. Her PhD was on the historiography of women architects in Australia and she has also undertaken an oral history investigation into the history of Australian heritage. She has published widely on the history of the Australian built environment.
Bronwyn's oral history project for the Australian National Library about the Burra Charter resulted in 23 interviews with pioneering heritage practitioners in Australasia and a timeline history of Australia ICOMOS (so far). Most interviews may be accessed online (see publications for list of names).


Bonnie's shows of sing-alongs, story songs, dance and singing games bring the transformative joy of music making to children and families. Accompanying herself on guitar, ukulele, keyboards and percussion, Bonnie sings with irresistible enthusiasm. An award-winning recording artist whose songs have been widely anthologized, Bonnie delights children and families in intimate settings as well as concert halls--from the reading room of the children's library, to the conference keynote, to the school assembly. Her highly participatory programs can be adapted for toddlers, preschoolers, and K-5 audiences; and she is happy to tailor programs for family shows with children of all ages.
Bonnie is fun, engaging and grounding for children. Very professional, she was very on time and was flexible with her time as we started a bit later than what we had spoken about. She has international rhythms, especially Latin, Celtic, etc. It was so much fun to have her in our party. We wish we can have Bonnie again to our party. Interestingly enough a friend of our daughter gifted us her CD for children.

Eve bears the burden of a secret: Two weeks before Tam died, Eve and Tam argued so vehemently that they did not speak again. Her sister was famous, acclaimed for her career as a TV journalist and her devoted marriage. But Tam, too, had a secret, revealed the day after the funeral, one that inverts the story Eve has told herself since their childhood. In the aftermath, Eve is forced to revise her version of her fractured family, her sister’s accomplishments and vaunted marriage, and her own impeded ambition in work and love.
Day by day as the family sits shiva, the stories unfold, illuminating the past to shape the present. Evening explores the dissonant love between sisters, the body in longing, the pride we take in sustaining our illusions, and the redemption that is possible only when they are dispelled.
Small town librarian Kathleen Paulson gets plenty of entertainment from her extraordinary cats, Owen and Hercules. But when a theatre troupe stumbles into more tragedy than it bargained for, it’s up to Kathleen to play detective…
With her sort-of boyfriend Marcus calling it quits and her ex-boyfriend Andrew showing up out of the blue, Kathleen has more than enough drama to deal with—and that’s before a local theatre festival relocates to Mayville Heights. Now the town is buzzing with theatre folk, and many of them have their own private dramas with the director, Hugh Davis.
When Davis is found shot to death by the marina, he leaves behind evidence of blackmail and fraud, as well as an ensemble of suspects. Now Kathleen, with a little help from her feline friends Owen and Hercules, will have to catch the real killer before another victim takes a final curtain call.
A thrilling return to the #1 New York Times bestselling urban fantasy series, continuing Rachel Morgan’s story.
Rachel Morgan is back–and the Hollows will never be the same.
What happens after you’ve saved the world? Well, if you’re Rachel Mariana Morgan, witch-born demon, you quickly discover that something might have gone just a little bit wrong. That the very same acts you and your friends took to forge new powers may have released something bound by the old.
With a rash of zombies, some strange new murders, and an exceedingly mysterious new demon in town, it will take everything Rachel has to counter this new threat to the world–and it may demand the sacrifice of what she holds most dear.
A four-year investigation into the world of synthetic drugs—from black market factories to users & dealers to harm reduction activists—and what it revealed.
A deeply human story, Fentanyl, Inc. is the first deep-dive investigation of a hazardous and illicit industry that has created a worldwide epidemic, ravaging communities and overwhelming and confounding government agencies that are challenged to combat it.
“A whole new crop of chemicals is radically changing the recreational drug landscape,” writes Ben Westhoff. “These are known as Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS) and they include replacements for known drugs like heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, and marijuana. They are synthetic, made in a laboratory, and are much more potent than traditional drugs” — and all-too-often tragically lethal.
Westhoff visits the shady factories in China from which these drugs emanate, providing startling and original reporting on how China’s vast chemical industry operates, and how the Chinese government subsidizes it. Poignantly, he chronicles the lives of addicted users and dealers, families of victims, law enforcement officers, and underground drug awareness organizers in the United States and Europe. Together they represent the shocking and riveting full anatomy of a calamity we are just beginning to understand. From its depths, as Westhoff relates, are emerging new strategies that may provide essential long-term solutions to the drug crisis that has affected so many.
From the acclaimed author of The Girls of Ennismore comes a captivating and extraordinary tale of perseverance and bravery. This touching saga of sisterhood follows two young Irish women yearning for independence and adventure, as they set sail on RMS Titanic only to be faced with the tragedy of that fabled maiden voyage…
Delia Sweeney has always been unlike her older sister—fair and delicate compared to tall, statuesque Nora, whose hair is as dark as Donegal turf. In other ways too, the sisters are leagues apart. Nora is her mother’s darling, favored at every turn, and expected to marry into wealth. Delia, constantly slighted, finds a measure of happiness helping her da on the farm. The rest of the time, she reads about far-off places that seem sure to remain a fantasy. Until the day a letter arrives from America.
A distant relative has provided the means for Delia and Nora to go to New York. Delia will be a lowly maid in a modest household, while Nora will be governess for a well-to-do family. In Queenstown, Cork, they board the Titanic, a majestic new ocean liner making its maiden voyage. Any hope Delia carried that she and her sister might become closer during the trip soon vanishes. For there are far greater perils to contend with as the ship makes its way across the Atlantic…
How far would you go to find The One?
A simple DNA test is all it takes. Just a quick mouth swab and soon you’ll be matched with your perfect partner—the one you’re genetically made for.
That’s the promise made by Match Your DNA. A decade ago, the company announced that they had found the gene that pairs each of us with our soul mate. Since then, millions of people around the world have been matched. But the discovery has its downsides: test results have led to the breakup of countless relationships and upended the traditional ideas of dating, romance and love.
Now five very different people have received the notification that they’ve been “Matched.” They’re each about to meet their one true love. But “happily ever after” isn’t guaranteed for everyone. Because even soul mates have secrets. And some are more shocking than others…
A word-of-mouth hit in the United Kingdom, The One is a fascinating novel that shows how even the simplest discoveries can have complicated consequences.

Olivia McAfee knows what it feels like to start over…
Her picture-perfect life—living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising their beautiful son, Asher—was upended when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined that she would end up back in her sleepy New Hampshire hometown, living in the house she grew up in and taking over her father’s beekeeping business.
Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope it will be a fresh start.
And for just a short while, these new beginnings are exactly what Olivia and Lily need. Their paths cross when Asher falls for the new girl in school, and Lily can’t help but fall for him, too. With Ash, she feels happy for the first time. Yet she wonders if she can trust him completely…
Then one day, Olivia receives a phone call: Lily is dead, and Asher is being questioned by the police. Olivia is adamant that her son is innocent. But she would be lying if she didn’t acknowledge the flashes of his father’s temper in Ash, and as the case against him unfolds, she realizes he’s hidden more than he’s shared with her.
Today’s versatile multicookers offer great solutions to planning dinner. This book lets you do just that, with dozens of recipes for complete, balanced, and deeply flavorful dishes that include a protein, vegetables, and, usually, a starch or a legume.
Another great bonus, apart from the variety of pots that can be used, is the wide range of cooking times and temperatures that can be brought into play—for example, the slow cooker is perfect for making meltingly tender Pork Carnitas, while a simple sheet pan can elevate a dish like Eggplant Parmesan from great to sublime!
Cook it in just one pot!

When an empty commercial space that they both want becomes available in their home town, Nestled Hollow, the two work together to open an ice cream shop. After spending time in close quarters, making their dreams a reality, Joselyn falls for Marcus. But when their relationship threatens both their new business and Marcus’s place in the Zimmerman family, can their relationship survive?
A family of heroes, all in dangerous jobs, all irrevocably tied to those they love. Read about the Marino clan in this fast-paced, emotional new series by NYT bestselling author Kathryn Shay.
Nick Marino is the top guy on POTUS’s Secret Service detail. But he’s temporarily sent to upstate New York to guard the president’s sister, Isabelle Barton, who is being threatened in anonymous notes. There, Nick becomes involved with the widowed mom and twin boys, who quickly win over what he thought was his hardened heart. Amidst the heightened anxiety of tracking down the threats, the constant vigilance and an ever-growing sexual attraction between Isabelle and Nick, these two people must uncover not only the plot against her, but determine what to do about their impossible romance.
Above and Beyond provides a deep dive into the life of a Secret Service agent, the glamor of Washington politics and a close look at being related to the most powerful man in the world. The story will keep you fascinated and capture your heart with its tender and sometimes hot romance.

The mod_wsgi package can be compiled for and used with most recent patch revisions of Apache 2.0, 2.2 or 2.4 on UNIX like systems, such as Linux and MacOS X, as well as Windows.
It is highly recommended that you use Apache 2.4. Older versions of Apache have architectural design problems and sub optimal configuration defaults, that can result in excessive memory usage in certain circumstances. More recent mod_wsgi versions attempt to protect against these problems in Apache 2.0 and 2.2, however it is still better to use Apache 2.4.
Any of the single threaded ‘prefork’ or multithreaded ‘worker’ and ‘event’ Apache MPMs can be used when running on UNIX like systems.
Both Python 2 and 3 are supported. The minimum recommended versions of each being Python 2.6 and 3.3 respectively. The Python installation must have been installed in a way that shared libraries for Python are provided such that embedding of Python in another application is possible.
The mod_wsgi package should be able to host any Python web application which complies with the WSGI specification (PEP 3333). The implementation is very strict with its interpretation of the WSGI specification. Other WSGI servers available aren’t as strict and allow Python web applications to run which do not comply with the WSGI specification. If your Python web application doesn’t comply properly with the WSGI specification, then it may fail to run or may run sub optimally when using mod_wsgi.
