Startup fever is sweeping its way across Sri Lanka. Inspired by the Silicon Valley culture, many young graduates and executives are leaving the comfort of their jobs to pursue their own ventures. The Zuckerbergs and Musks are the new heroes and icons. The idea specifically appeals to the millennial generation who unlike their predecessors are resistant to the 9-5 routine, and crave for freedom and empowerment. Corporations, incubators, investors, and venture capital firms are playing a positive role in developing Sri Lanka's startup ecosystem and nurturing these young entrepreneurs. While it is encouraging to see the emergence of so many new startups, it is worthwhile evaluating how many of these firms go on to survive beyond their nascent stage. Globally, it is well established that only one out of every five startups survives past their first year in operation. Out of those, which do, another half ceases to exist after five years, while only a third makes it past their 10th year anniversary. Although there are no conclusive studies on business failures in Sri Lanka, it is fair to assume the picture is equally gloomy, exacerbated by Sri Lanka's challenging business environment.
Startup failures are not only brought about by lack of funds or market situation, it is also attributable to personal shortcomings of an entrepreneur. Successful entrepreneurs possess certain personality characteristics or traits, which differentiates them from non-entrepreneurs. Some of these traits are inborn, while some are shaped by culture and upbringing. A few traits also happen to be products of education and life experiences. Extensive research has shed evidence that entrepreneurs possessing such traits are more likely to succeed with their businesses. The bottom line is – not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur. This article explores a few key traits that contribute to the making of an entrepreneur.
Are entrepreneurs born or made?
When we think of individuals like Usain Bolt, Sachin Tendulkar or Lionel Messi we are willing to accept that they are born with god-gifted talent. We agree to the notion that no amount of training, coaching and preparation can elevate an ordinary person to such feats. Similarly, we also concur that entertainers such as actors or musicians may also be born with special abilities. We apply this thinking in our ordinary lives as well; when we identify individuals around us who possesses a special skill in say art or music or sports. We tend to label or tag such people as being 'gifted'.
Unfortunately, this logic escapes from our thinking, when we consider entrepreneurs. The inimitable and immortal perception that we have built around the capabilities of sport stars, entertainers and talented individuals is not so pertinent to entrepreneurs. One reason why this happens is that athletes and celebrities have clearly visible or identifiable traits that we can associate with. In contrast, the characteristics that make an entrepreneur different are less discernable.
Another reason is the influence and impact of the world we live in. For instance, self-help and business books are marketed promising to teach us to think like Steve Jobs or Warren Buffet. Movies, autobiographies and memoirs portray the graceful and exciting lives of entrepreneurs, often downplaying the hardships they have endured and sacrifices made. We have all grown up with the advice that "if we work hard and put in all our energies, our heart and soul" we can achieve anything we want. But have we been misled with this age old maxim? Present day researchers may tend to agree – at least when it comes to the idea of becoming an entrepreneur.
Researchers from Kings College London and Case Western Reserve University have provided evidence that entrepreneurial tendencies are partly genetic. In a long term cross border project, this unit examined the career choices and behaviours of more than 1,200 pairs of identical and non-identical twins. Identical twins possess the same genes, thus there is a greater likelihood for them to have similar pattern in preferences and decisions. Whereas non identical twins share about half of the genes in average, similar to normal siblings. The researchers identified a strong correlation in the entrepreneurial intentions of the identical twins in comparison to their non-identical counterparts. They concluded 37-48% of an individual's tendency to become an entrepreneur is genetic. The researchers also attributed an individual's ability to sense business opportunities and succeed in them to their genes.
It was also established that, 60% of the behavioural traits key to entrepreneurship are hereditary. These, they believe are hardwired into individuals. For example, consider the traits "risk taking propensity" and "tolerance for ambiguity" fundamental to the success of entrepreneurs. Academics have often confessed that it is impossible to teach somebody to take risks. Individuals are usually born with these abilities; they have it or they do not. The Sri Lankan economy like many developing nations is in a state of constant flux creating unforeseen challenges for businesses. A young entrepreneur who can cope well with uncertainty will be able to navigate past these obstacles, accepting the peaks and troughs of business. In contrast, entrepreneurs with low tolerance will deem any hurdle an ominous setback.
Innovativeness is another key distinguishable trait of entrepreneurs. Some individuals can foresee market needs and opportunities, which others cannot envision. When it comes to problem solving, they are able to come up with solutions by abandoning traditional thinking and preconceptions. Colloquially, we refer to this as out of the box thinking. To some individuals, the ability to think innovatively comes naturally, and can be seen early from their school days. While some of us are predominantly right brained, and some left; entrepreneurs seem to possess a blend of both right and left-brain thinking enabling them to produce ideas, which are creative yet practical.
The impact of culture
Not all entrepreneurial qualities are innate. Some of the traits are moulded by our culture, upbringing, religion, societal values and education. Most Sri Lankans are need for affiliation oriented-meaning they are more likely to prioritise interpersonal relationships, harmony, and comfort over success and individual achievement. Our tendency of procrastinating, taking the easy way out is clear evidence of this trait. Meanwhile successful entrepreneurs exhibit strong need for achievement characteristics. To them, success, accomplishing goals supersedes comfort, familiarity and peace. They set high standards for themselves and are willing to struggle through adversity to achieve their goals. Such individuals are fiercely competitive demanding perfection of themselves and others even if it has to come at the cost of relationships. Business is prioritised above all else often at the expense of family and social life. Putting theory into context, any young to-be Sri Lankan entrepreneur must then ask-whether they will be able to maintain singular focus on their venture and sacrifice everything else. This means putting aside the long weekend plans, spending long hours at work, living frugally to re-invest profit, delayed gratification. Founder of India's leading taxi services provider Ola, Bhavish Aggarwal works 16 hours a day with his schedule stretching into the weekend. The work ethic of Aggarwal is analogous to that of his counterparts in the west – it is all about dedication, hard work and immense sacrifice. All entrepreneurs demonstrate a strong need to achieve.
Sri Lankans are also in general very collectivist in nature. Every idea is conferred with superiors, peers, family members before execution. This too is largely the result of upbringing, where parents often exert a great deal of influence on the decisions of their children. Meanwhile entrepreneurs are very independent, using their own judgement and gut feel in making decisions. This not only speeds up idea to market time, the ideas are more authentic and radical.
Locus of control is another essential attribute influenced by culture. Entrepreneurs tend to have strong internal locus of control. They believe they are in control of their future and any success is determined by the choices they make. In Sri Lanka, we tend to possess external locus of control, whereby we proclaim ourselves victims of external forces such as government or economy. South Asian businesspersons are well known to resort to the house of worship than the boardroom in times of hardship. There is nothing wrong in being superstitious. However, it is always a good indication, when an entrepreneur is willing to look at the mirror when the going gets tough.
Entrepreneurs are also an optimistic group with the tendency of viewing the glass half full. They are willing to persevere in the face of multiple failures. A loss or a setback does not deter them. They believe the more times they step up to bat, the higher their likelihood of striking a homerun. Most of us are not wired to think like that. Non-entrepreneurs often fail once and lose optimism and faith in their abilities. Thereafter they solemnly renounce that business is not right for them. Some researchers have found optimism to be partly influenced by genetics, while others state it can be influenced by upbringing. Either way, this is a trait entrepreneurs cannot do without. Yet, it is difficult to cultivate such a characteristic in a society where failure is frowned up.
The role of education
Media has often portrayed entrepreneurs as college dropouts. In fact, in US, many youngsters shun college education and MBAs, due to their belief that education impairs the natural inclinations of potential entrepreneurs. It is important to keep in mind; many of the well-acclaimed 'dropout' entrepreneurs are often outliers. There is adequate research positively linking education with entrepreneurship. Perhaps the greatest contribution of education to a young entrepreneur would be positively influencing their self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is an individual's belief and confidence in their own abilities to achieve the desired results. Entrepreneurs typically possess a whole lot of self-efficacy. The lack of it creates doubt and pessimism both of which are cancerous for startups. Education and training have both been linked to self-efficacy-as they can equip an individual with the right knowledge and tools.
Should I become an entrepreneur?
The purpose of this article was not to dissuade anyone interested in starting their own business. Rather, it was to educate and inform on what it takes to be an entrepreneur. Does it mean there is no hope for those of us who are not genetically predisposed for entrepreneurship? Unfortunately, research reveals such individuals are greater contributors to the failure statistics. While it is possible to learn new skills, knowledge, it may be too much of a stretch to reprogram some of the most essential characteristics associated with entrepreneurship. For those of us not willing to face failure, ambiguity, and stress, it is often better for us to hold on to our day jobs – which at least gives us a guaranteed paycheck, and a good night's sleep! After all, it is someone else's money. However, the same heritable traits that make individuals inclined to entrepreneurship have also often caused their downfall. Simply inheriting the right traits is no guarantee for success. Finally, entrepreneurship is all about defying odds – so the lack of traits should not stop anyone from pursuing their dreams. And there is nothing stopping us from teaming up with a co-partner who may be more of natural than us. It worked out well for Steve Wozniak!

First of all, to whom is interested in buying Leapfrog's Tag Junior, now it's the best time to get it from Mothercare (Sales last till the end of June).
* Tag Junior & 1 Tag Junior's book set for RM 129. (Normal RM 179)
* Tag Junior's Book (any titles) for RM 25. (Normal RM 32)
This is the latest title I bought for my boy. I like it because it introduces different types of Dinosaurs and most importantly the Tag Junior can pronounce those complicated names of Dinosaurs like Cryolophosaurus, Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus and others.
Also, this book is good for teaching young kids how to "play nice" with their friends. Although young kids are always forgiven being the reason of "too young" to learn about the rules, parents are responsible to instill good manners or moral values to their children as early as possible. Sooner, they meet and social with others at the playground or in the school. As parents, we don't want to see that our children are refused or neglected by their friends one day. We want our kids make more friends and to be popular amongst their social circles.
Through reading this book, you can explain to your little one how to play nice with other small friends in public. Let your little one know how important it is to share and queue.

Earlier this year I stumbled upon some YouTube videos from a German news source called "Klagemauer TV" which offers alternative news reports and views on current events primarily in the German language, but also often with translations in a variety of languages. I found them quite good, but generally within the normal realm of topics covered by the alternative media concerning such topics as Geo-politics, finance, vaccines, chemtrails, etc. Recently, however, I again came across several more of their reports that really caught my attention and wish to share with my audience.
Klagemauer TV has begun to distinguish themselves from the rest of the alternative media, both in Germany and abroad, by occasionally delving into the topics nearest to my heart, from an honest German perspective, rather the normal regurgitated pack of lies, written by the victorious ALL LIES, and parroted in unison by both the MSM and alternative media. They have now stepped into the "Verboten Zone" in the FRG/BRD, questioning the blame for the war and the real reasons for it. This is quite remarkable for a number of reasons, but I think particularly as it is coming from the younger generation of Germans, using modern technology in a very classy news format, almost indistinguishable from the MSM broadcasts, except that they are asking legitimate questions and presenting facts which contradict the victor's version of history. Also, this is not coming from stereotypical tattoo covered white male "skinheads" and black clad "Neo-Nazis" extremists that the media likes to portray.
This video was published on December 4th, 2014 and is entitled "Die unsichtbare Regierung der USA" (The Invisible Government of the USA). While only about 3 minutes in length, it goes well beyond what the title suggests, delving rapidly into some critical facts concerning Germany and both World War I and II, and the reasons or agendas behind those wars.
Congratulations to the presenter and those behind the scenes who wrote and produced this. Germans are waking up and speaking out! I will be posting another recent video and with English translation later which deals more specifically with World War II.
NOTE: It is entirely in German with no English subtitles or overdubs. I have translated the text and present it for you below.
TRANSLATION: "And now, Dear Viewers, we continue with our program from Heidelberg with the story of 'The Invisible Government of the USA'.
Just as Otto von Bismark was finally able to unite the Germans again, the German Empire and also the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, suddenly became the thorn in the eye of the British world powers. Britain feared Germany's growing prosperity. The economic competitor was then cleared away by fomenting the First World War. The imposed Dictates of Versailles sought to eliminate the German competition forever. Germany's territory and gold were stolen. Because of the alleged war guilt, crippling debts were imposed on the empire. Germany had to borrow money at outrageous interest rates from the private World Bank just to exist.
Over the next 20 years, through inflation, our Fatherland was plunged into the darkest period of our modern history. Winston Churchill in 1933 stated:
"If Germany does not return to the gold standard there will be another war in five years, regardless of who fires the first shot".
Because of Churchill's evil plot against Europe, Germany lost the Second World War and Great Britain had lost her Empire. Germany was reduced to rubble, more German territory was stolen and then our remaining land was divided in East and West. All German technology and patents were stolen. Thanks only to the Bolshevik threat, Germany was tolerated as an American satellite. The German spirit of self-sacrifice was then bound by the chains of materialism and multiculturalism.
Through the intrigues of Franklin D Roosevelt, America became the New World Power. Who really rules the American people and its government became clear before World War I. In order to alleviate the downward economic cycle and financial difficulties, the private world banks, through their gold and cash reserves, convinced the government of President Wilson to establish the Federal Reserve Board. In return, the Federal Reserve was initially only involved as a consultant in the financial and economic matters of the government.
Thus, the door was opened, and over time, through their political whores, and both real and created economic crises, wars, etc, the Federal Reserve became the "Invisible Government" of the United States. The interests of the people were replaced by the greed of the World Bank and of their various corporate bodies. America has sold his soul to the devil, and thus, lost any right to call itself a 'democracy'
In closing, dear viewers, I leave you with a very fitting quote from Major General J.F. Charles Fuller:
"It was not the political goals of Hitler that brought us to war. It was his success in building a new financial system. The roots of this war lie in greed, jealousy and fear."

The traditional weakness of aluminium doors has been the aluminium itself. While a beautifully strong and hard-wearing material, aluminium is a good conductor of energy. Meaning that the warmth from your home finds an easy path outside, leaving you colder and with higher heating bills. Most aluminium folding sliding doors try to overcome this inherent weakness by replacing a section of aluminium with a small thermal break of less conductive material to lessen this heat loss.
WarmCore took a different approach, from inception this revolutionary folding sliding door was designed to be as thermally efficient as possible. Built around a full width thermal core - maximising the use of low conductive material - WarmCore is 25% more efficient at keeping heat in your home than traditional aluminium doors. Yet it doesn't compromise strength as the outer faces of the profile are high grade aluminium, positioned to add the greatest structural rigidity.
U-Values explained
A U-Value is basically a measure of heat loss through a structural element. It is calculated on the rate at which heat transfers through 1 square metre of a structure and is stated in W/m2 K. U-Values are used by the construction industry to compare the thermal performance of different materials and products.

"Stephanie is always a pleasure to work with! She has collaborated with us for business photos, captured very personal moments for my family and recently worked with me on real estate photos for the sale of our home! I cannot thank her enough for the professionalism and quality she brings in a timely manner! We love that we have an awesome photographer for any job needed!
Chrissie U.
"Stephanie was amazing to work with! She spent extra time with Bralynn and I on her photo shoot. She truly wanted things to be perfect for Bralynn. Stephanie was very helpful from the photo shoot all the way up to picking our photos and delivering them to us! Along with everything else Bralynn's prints were outstanding!"
Jenny S.
"Over the last month I teamed up with one of the best in the business to capture shots for my website. They are simply amazing. This lady is a perfectionist. She got some amazing shots (btw this has never been my thing, I always feel like I look awkward). Thank you from the bottom of my heart Petersen Photography for making my dreams come true!
Myra L.
"What a joy it was to have Petersen Photography capture our granddaughter Willa! Stephanie Petersen was patient and creative in her desire to bring out all the many "expressions of Willa Adelaide". The photo shoot, from beginning to end was easy, fun and joyful. Stephanie excitedly walked us through the process of picking out our favorite poses. She was teaching and guiding us the entire way. Stephanie educated us in what photos work best on what medium and as well as what sizes. We chose a metal wall portrait of our favorite pose and it turned out absolutely stunning! We will never use another photographer again."
Mark T.
"I used Petersen Photography to do my daughter's senior pictures. Stephanie had some great ideas for locations around town. She was even willing to go out of town to any location that I suggested. She worked around my daughter's work and basketball schedule. When the pictures were ready we went to her house to pick out the ones we wanted. It was like being in a professional studio...she had the pics loaded on her 60 inch TV complete with a music presentation. She had quite a few packages to choose from and the price was very reasonable. She had great suggestions on picture sizes and texture. When we picked the pictures up, we were very satisfied with what we purchased. I would recommend Stephanie 100%."
Lakken M.
"I loved the experience. It was such a fun and happy environment. I felt like I could really open up and be my true self in my pictures. They turned out amazing in the end!"
Debbie M.
"It was an AWESOME experience from the beginning to the end. Every single picture and pose was great! Lakken was more than excited about her senior pictures and the experience Stephanie provided for her"

Bereavement Flights
Bereavement flights refer to the last-minute airline tickets issued to travelers, in the event of a death or imminent death of close relatives. Here is a brief overview about the same.
Sonia Nair
Sep 30, 2019
The unexpected death of a loved one can be a real shock. While you reel under the stress of that irreparable loss, getting a last-minute air ticket to the funeral place can be almost impossible. The same applies to those who want to be near a loved one, who is in a critical condition, and there is no possibility of getting a last-minute flight.
In such cases, you may opt for bereavement flights, that are last-minute airline tickets offered at special fares to the close relatives of the deceased.
Your browser doesn't support HTML5 video.
Most of the airlines offer such facility, but the fares and policies may vary. Sometimes, such air tickets turn out to be much more expensive than the regular ones.
Otherwise known as compassion airfares, bereavement flights are often issued at discounted rates. Some airlines may offer flexible travel rules too. A discount of up to 50% of the original airfare is offered by some of the airlines. Sometimes, such discounted fares may turn out to be expensive than regular last-minute fares.
It has been observed that such discounts are offered on the highest unrestricted fares that are often exorbitant. Instead of that, you can search online to find cheaper flights. In that case, you may either book the same (cheaper ticket) or call up the officials to understand about their terms and conditions with regard to bereavement flights.
The benefit of booking bereavement flights is that you are getting an air ticket at the last minute. Such tickets often come with flexible travel rules. They include refundable options, open returns and flexibility in date changes.
As mentioned here, the policies regarding bereavement flights vary from one airline to another. The United Airlines no longer offer such discount fares. In case of Continental Airlines, the rates vary with the type of tickets. The rate of discount ranges from 5 to 20%.
Air Canada, Delta Airlines and many others have this facility but their policies differ. Some of them allow such facility on the death of immediate relatives only and others may offer this option in case of death of friends and close associates. In some cases, these tickets are issued to step relatives and foster relatives too.
Proof of death is required to be furnished for obtaining such discounted fares. Sometimes, you have to provide them with the details of the deceased, your relation with him/her, and information about the hospital or the funeral home.
If you want to avail this option, call up the airlines, and inquire about their terms and conditions regarding this facility. It will be better to compare the fares and terms offered by different airlines, before booking the ticket. If you are not in a mental state to do all this, ask one of your friends or a booking agent for help.
You have to furnish details about the deceased, your relation with him/her and the date of funeral. You may also be required to furnish a copy of the death certificate, when you return (or before booking the flight). If you have accumulated frequent flyer miles, the airlines may allow to use them in that trip.
Very few airlines offer option of booking bereavement tickets through their website.
Your browser doesn't support HTML5 video.
As most airlines don't promote and may not even mention this facility on their websites; you have to call their office for details. This is only a brief overview about bereavement flights, and some of the related terms and conditions. So if you come across such situations, go through the various options, and choose the best one.

And being a proponent of accomplishing many Processes as possible, I have always loved Zapier. Sellfy has a Zapier integration today that lets you connect with over 750 programs in the Zapier database and streamlines the process.
Two Payment Options with Quite a Couple of Customization Modules
Stripe and payPal are the choices you have when selling on Sellfy. They cut out some men and women that aren't permitted to use these options, although these are the two most frequent payment processors. The integration functions but we'd love to see more offerings.

Pro — invest $29 a month for all features + a 2% transaction fees.
Pro Plus — invest $99 a month for all features with no transaction fees.
There possess a free day trial. I Beginners can begin for cheap together with the Basic plan, although personally prefer to not need to cover transaction fees. But I wonder if most folks might be better off with a solution.
We urge Sellfy for people that are Selling over five products. The free trial is much more than enough to check the waters, but in case you plan to move ahead, the 5% transaction fee (on top of PayPal fees) could significantly cut into your margins. Glambot

Bangkok governor Gen Asawin Kwanmuang has told his staff to look again at plans to revitalize Khao San road and turn it into a semi "Walking Street".
But one of the areas that he insists on is that there will be no foreigners taking Thai jobs by selling in pitches on the street, reported Daily News.
The governor – installed under Article 44 laws by prime minister Prayut Chan-Ocha in 2016 – was speaking after his deputies and the Phra Nakorn district presented plans for the new Khao San.
He wants to see more details about times the road will be opened and closed and when and how a proposed automatic roof will operate.
He also wants to see further discussion on the 88 million baht budget proposed for the scheme.
He is also keen to ensure that, apart from the no foreigner rule, only one pitch is given to each trader and that there is no sub-letting of pitches.
It has been suggested that the road can recover its "tourist landmark" status by turning it into a kind of Walking Street with a one lane road that would satisfy both visitors and traders alike and provide some form of access.

a dip in the pool
After the soccer game, I took Nick and Joe to the Y for a dip in the pool. They play so well when they swim, that I absolutely love watching them. Nick gives Joe rides around the pool by pulling a pool noodle like joe is a sea dog:) They score each others underwater flips. And Laugh…..ahhhh a good day!
Soccer star
A little defense a little offense and a lotta fun! Joe played, Nick and I cheered. Dad and Tony were at a football game. It was a tie game 3-3, happy boys all around!

Just so happened a girl in Nick's class had a birthday slumber party last night, and just so happened we woke up to toliet paper in our tree!
Hubba and I heard giggly girls outside our bedroom window around 11……having so much fun!

Really, the amount of enjoyment we got through trying to capture these beautiful moments was probably a tiny bit pathetic.
Dad, of course, had to join in the fun.
In case you're wondering, he's washing his hair. Chortle.
We had a good time together. Although he totally ditched the rest of us when hiking and would somehow make it to the appointed destination 30 minutes ahead of us. He did bring us back water during the last leg so I guess that makes up for the ditching.
Good trip. Glad I went.
Even though a 7.2/8 mile hike was not on my agenda.

King George III's wife, Queen Charlotte, who he married in 1761, was black. They had 15 children. Queen Elizabeth II is a great, great, great grandchild of theirs.
The House of Windsor, regardless of its pale complexions, blushing cheeks, and rosy lips, was built on mixed marriage. The Queen Mum and Queen Elizabeth have casually commented on their black ancestors.
The first recorded mixed marriage occurred in Africa (Egypt) between Joseph, the Hebrew, and Asenath, the daughter of an Egyptian high priest (Genesis 41: 46). The match-maker was Pharaoh.
Moses also took a black wife, Zipporah, a Midianite. Miriam was furious. Moses felt hurt, and G-d was livid. His anger against Miriam (which nearly cost her life) taught the Israelites a vital lesson. Colour was not an issue, only faith and belief.
Mixed marriages happened soon after the arrival of the Hebrews in Canaan. Judah married the Canaanite Shuah (Genesis 38: 2). They had three sons. Thereafter, Judah had a relationship with his Canaanite daughter-in-law, Tamar, who produced twins, Perez and Zera (Genesis 38: 1-30; 1 Chronicles 2: 4). The Book of Ruth describes her marriage to Boaz. She was a Moabite. He was a Jewish prince born of a Canaanite mother, Rahab (Joshua 2: 1; 3; 6: 17-25). Their son was Obed. Obed's son Jesse was King David's father (Ruth 4: 13-22). David married a Canaanite woman, Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11: 3; 23: 34). Their son became King Solomon. Judges 3: 5-6 informs us that the Israelites didn't shy away from mixed marriages.
The story of Joseph, the son of Rachel and favourite of Jacob, is pivotal to Israelite tribal history. Besides the patriarchs, only Joseph, Moses, and David play monumental roles: Joseph as head of the House of Israel, Moses as the law-giver, and David as the king of Israel.
Joseph's marriage was an immense affair. For his remarkable ability to interpret dreams and for his admirable moral character, Pharaoh gave Joseph the title and rank of Prime Minister. By marrying into Egyptian society, Joseph's Hebrew family (Jacob, his 11 brothers, their wives and children) officially became members of the most powerful royal house in the world.
Thus, in an age before the rise of Assyria, Babylon, Greece, and Rome, the Hebrews were royalty. Ironically, the new Pharaoh who enslaved them was an Assyrian (Isaiah 52: 4). The Assyrians or Hyksos, as they were then called, are the ancestors of the Germans.
Joseph had two sons, Manashe and Ephraim. Jacob, his father, claimed them for himself. Jacob conferred on Ephraim the blessings of the first-born. Not only did Jacob elevate the sons of Joseph above their brethren, but he also transferred his name upon them. Henceforth, they would be called the House of Israel. Joseph's descendants, after their Assyrian exile in 720-22 BCE, would dominate the world.
The House of Israel become the founders of Europe. The Ten Lost Tribes, believed to include Denmark, Sweden, Scandinavia, France, Holland, Britain, all fulfilled the prophecies of Jacob's blessings. As the greatest empire the world had ever seen, Ephraim's (Britain) mixed descendants now number in the billions (Genesis 22: 17). According to Irish, Scottish and English history, the tribes of Ephraim and Manashe settled in Britain. This is referred to in Jeremiah 31: 10.
King Zedekiah died in Babylon. His sons were killed in Judea. History records that Zedekiah was the last of the Jewish kings. Yet G-d had promised David an everlasting line of kings (2 Samuel 7: 16; Genesis 89: 10; Psalm 89: 3-4; 29-37). Did G-d err?
King Zedekiah had two daughters. The Jewish princesses were spirited away (Jeremiah 43: 6). Jeremiah became their mentor. The question is: what happened to them? Where did they go? From Britain and Ireland, we learn a remarkable tale. One of daughters, Tea-Tephi, married a descendant of Joseph. Through this union the House of Judah and the House of Israel were reunited. Joseph's descendants were never Jews. They were never referred to as Jews by their Israelite brethren. Yet today British royalty is not only colourfully mixed but of Jewish heritage.
Astonishingly, England believes it is the House of Israel. The tribe of Ephraim. The first-born of G-d (Exodus 4: 22; Jeremiah 31: 9). Its bloodline stretches back before the coronation of King David to the Egyptian Royal House, thus making it the oldest living dynasty in the world. Britain's Jewish roots are still in place. The Israeli Embassy in London is on crown land. It was Britain who created the new Jewish state. Like Joshua (Numbers 13: 16), it was an Ephraimite who led the Hebrew tribes in conquering Canaan. The Queen's sons and male heirs are circumcised by a mohel. A Rabbi dutifully visits the family every erev Shabbat.
The Song of Solomon, an interracial love story, chosen for Harry and Meghan's wedding was in fact the Queen's suggestion. This begs the question: when is British royalty going to tell the world who they really are? And how would the Jewish world react to this news? Oy gevalt!

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was an author and poet, and some of his well-known works include Kidnapped and Treasure Island. He also wrote A Child's Garden of Verses, published in 1885, and dedicated it to his nurse.
I have written before about this small compendium of poems, which have been formed from Stevenson's own impressions of childhood. They are a lovely insight into the world of a child!
This poem is one of my favourites! One can just imagine Robert doing the same in the nineteenth century as my kids do today!
Foreign LandsUp into the cherry-tree Who should climb but little me? I held the trunk with both my hands And looked abroad on foreign lands. I saw the next-door garden lie, Adorned with flowers, before my eye, And many pleasant places more That I had never seen before. I saw the dimpling river pass And be the sky's blue looking-glass; The dusty roads go up and down With people tramping in to town. If I could find a higher tree, Farther and farther I should see, To where the grown-up river slips Into the see among the ships. To where the roads on either hand Lead onward into fairy land, Where all the children dine at five, And all the playthings come alive.
I remember when I was a child climbing very high up the tree in our front yard, hoping for a glimpse of some magical cloud that led to magical lands at the top (just like in The Faraway Tree, by Enid Blyton!).
Do you have special memories of climbing trees when you were a child?

Portia Hobbs is determined to change her life. After years of aimless direction, she's decided to leave her days of partying in New York City behind and take an apprenticeship with a swordmaker in Scotland.

But it's her socialite skills that truly come in handy when the two discover that Tavish is the heir to a dukedom and he needs adapt to his new role in the public eye. Alyssa Cole blew us away with A Princess in Theory, the first book in her Reluctant Royals series, and we are counting down the days until the second hits shelves.

The Governess Game by Tessa Dare
Tessa Dare's Girl Meets Duke series continues with a steamy second installment. Chase Reynaud is known to be many things: a duke's heir, an unapologetic rake, and (above all else) permanently unattached. But governess Alexandra Mountbatten is about to turn his entire world upside down. She sees that the two orphans under his care are suffering from his detached manner, and she isn't afraid to use her governess skills on a misbehaving future duke. This book's official description had us hooked from the first line, "He's been a bad, bad rake—and it takes a governess to teach him a lesson." We can't wait to see what Dare has in store for us this time.

Have you ever wondered what was the path traveled by that cotton t-shirt laying in your closet? From the farmers who produced the cotton to the seamstresses who gave it form, that t-shirt hides a lot of stories to tell. Just like every single piece of clothing does. Clothes are there to be cherished, not discarded. As the lives of the ones who make them or the life of our dear Earth.
By now we all know the damages fashion industry is causing to our planet, specially if we talk about fast fashion. Its crazy rhythm is completely unsustainable and we really need to change the way we produce and consume clothing. I love clothes so much, I really do! But I definitely don't want my passion to contribute to a catastrophe, so I try my best to be a conscious consumer. I started by being totally anti fast fashion. I don't even remember the last time I bought something from that kind of stores. I preferred brands producing smaller quantities with better quality, more exclusive and special pieces which will survive the barriers of time and trends. In resume I adopted Vivienne Westwood words as my motto: "Buy less, choose well, make it last".
But I still thought I could do better! After all these are new clothes and there's a lot of resources needed to produce something new. And "a lot" means for example more than 2700 litres of water to make a single t-shirt. That's the amount we would drink in three years! So I decided it was time to dive deeply into the second hand universe. And what I found was amazing! I could buy really special pieces I wanted for years and weren't available anymore, at much better prices. When we buy second hand there's only advantages: it's the most eco-friendly option because we're giving new life to already existing garments, avoiding them to end up in landfills and saving natural resources from the planet; it's cheaper, we can find the best quality at the best price; and we even can improve our style by finding some vintage treasures and really unique pieces.
I won't stop buying new clothes, there's still great brands and designers working with ethics and concern for the environment, but I'll definitely buy less and give preference to second hand.
What I wore: Benetton bomber jacket (bought at A Outra Face da Lua, a super cool vintage and second hand store in downtown Lisbon); The Whitepepper dress and Prada sunglasses (via Vestiaire Collective, the best online destination for curated pre-owned premium and luxury products).
Photography & editing: my sweet love, Dário Gomes.

After my earlier fears of unpleasantly hot weather returning, for in the last part of October we had a heatwave with temperatures in the thirties five days running, November here in Perth has been pleasantly cool, with the hottest day so far - my birthday - a shade under 30°C, but quite comfortable as I recall, and the average for the month (23.5°C) several degrees cooler than usual. This pleasant enough weather seems still to endure a while longer; while in Australia we generally count summer as starting on the 1st of December, I think that it may still be a little while till the really hot weather starts toward the second half of December - by which time I'll have moved back to Tasmania...
And in ecclesiastical news, to-day, the feast of St Saturnine, is the last day of the Church's Year of Grace, which segues into the first with Vespers of Advent Sunday to-night, which by God's grace I hope to sing. My Advent plan this new year is to attend daily Mass (this will reaccustom me to the Novus Ordo, BTW).
Here is his short, straightforward and simple collect:
Deus, qui nos beati Saturnini Martyris tui concedis natalitio perfrui; ejus nos tribue meritis adjuvari. Per...(God, Who dost permit us to rejoice on the natal day of blessed Saturnine Thy Martyr, grant that we be aided by his merits. Through...)
May we indeed rejoice at the triumph of this stedfast witness to Christ over the world, the flesh and the devil, and may his merits truly obtain for us assistance from the Lord, Who delights to work through secondary causes so as to work His works in us: for St Saturnine's "just deserts", far from being unspeakable torments as his evil tormentors thought and wrought, are those things he has deserved of God Himself for what he accomplished not of himself but of Him who strengthened him - supernatural rewards and benefits, not merely for himself, who won the everlasting crown of victory and rejoices and reigns evermore with God and His saints in heaven, but also for the whole Church militant, that we may not only profit by his example, but in the communion of saints all share in the graces won by this preëminent member of the Mystical Body.
But what of St Saturnine? There are several of this name, such as the martyr-bishop of Toulouse (whose memory is also kept this day), or again the companion of SS Perpetua and Felicity; but the one commemorated in the Roman Mass is he that was a martyr at Rome, as the Golden Legend tells:
There was another Saturnine whom the provost of Rome held long in prison, and after, he raised him in the torment named Eculee [eculeus, the rack], and did do beat him with sinews, rods, and scorpions, and after, did do burn his sides, and then took him down and smote off his head, about the year of our Lord two hundred and ninety under Maximian.
The 2004 Martyrologium Romanum gives the following details about our saint:
Romæ in cœmeterio Trasonis via Salaria Nova, sancti Saturnini Carthaginensis, martyris, qui, ut sanctus Damasus papa refert, sub Decio imperatore pro Christo in patria in eculeo impositus est et Romam extorris missus, ubi, aliis atrocibus tormentis superatis, Gratianum tyrannum ad fidem convertit et capite obtruncato coronam martyrii adeptus est.(At Rome, in the cemetery of Traso on the New Salarian Way, [commemoration] of St Saturnine of Carthage, martyr, who, as Pope St Damasus tells, under the Emperor Decius for Christ in his fatherland [Carthage] was laid upon the rack and was sent, exiled, to Rome, where, triumphing over other atrocious torments, converted the tyrant Gratian to the Faith and by the chopping off his head won the martyr's crown. [c.250])
It also tells us of Saint-Saturnin, or Saint-Sernin, noble episcopal martyr of Toulouse:
Tolosæ in Gallia Narbonensi, commemoratio sancti Saturnini, episcopi et martyris, qui, ut fertur, ejusdem Decii temporibus, in Capitolio hujus urbis a paganis tentus est et de summa arce per gradus præcipitatus, ut, capite colliso et toto corpore dilaniato, Christo animam redderet.(At Toulouse in Narbonensine Gaul, the commemoration of St Saturnine, bishop and martyr, who, 'tis said, in the times of the same Decius, was tried by the pagans at the Capitol [temple of idols] of this city and was thrown down the steps from the high gate [?], that, his head crushed and whole body rent, unto Christ he rendered up his soul. [c. 250])
The Golden Legend supplies a rather forceful account of his sufferings: "And they took Saturnine which would not do sacrifice... and drew him unto the highest place of the capitol and cast him down the degrees and steps to the ground, so that his head was all to-broken and the brain sprang out, and so he accomplished his martyrdom."
The 1738 Paris Missal provides the following Collect in stead of that of St Saturnine the Roman Martyr, both containing several references to Scripture in typical eighteenth century Gallican style, and finely alluding to the unshakeable faith of the Tolosan bishop's soul, despite the outrages committed upon his body, cast down and destroyed:
Deus, qui per beatum Saturninum Martyrem tuum atque Pontificem, infideles populos de tenebris ad lucem veritatis venire tribuisti; da nobis ejus intercessione, in fide stabiles, et a spe Evangelii quod prædicavit, immobiles permanere. Per...(God, Who through blessed Saturnine Thy Martyr and Pontiff, *didst grant unbelieving peoples to come from darkness to the light of truth*': †grant unto us at his intercession, to remain stedfast in faith, and immovable in the hope of the Gospel which he preached†'. Through...)
*–*' Cf. many passages in the New Testament, such as Acts xxvi, 17b-18: "...the nations, unto which now I send thee: to open their eyes, that they may be converted from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and a lot among the saints...".
†–†' Cf. Col. i, 23: "...continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and immoveable from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, which is preached in all the creation that is under heaven, whereof I Paul am made a minister".
The other saints of the 29th of November are:
- St Philomenus, martyr at Ancyra in Galatia during the persecution of Aurelian under Felix the governor, who was thrown into the fire, then had his hands, feet and finally head pierced with nails, in the 3rd century [not to be confused with Philomenus, saintly martyr of Lyons, nor with the famous Philomena, whose cult remains somewhat uncertain].
- At Todi in Umbria [famously, Tuderti is misread as "Too dirty in Umbria"], St Illuminata the virgin, in the 4th Century [not to be confused with the unsaintly Illuminati of course!].
- St James (or Jacob), Bishop of Sarug, at Batnan in Osrhoene, whose sermons, homilies and letters illustrated the pure faith of the Church and is revered among the Syrians, together with St Ephræm, as a doctor and pillar of the Church, in 521.
- At Daventry in Frisia, the translation of St Radbod, bishop of Utrecht [Ultrajectum - more or less literally, "Thrown Out"?!], who, a teacher and pious pastor, died whilst visiting rustics, in 917.
- At York in England, Bl Edward Burden, priest and martyr, alumnus of the English College at Rheims, who dared to return as a priest to the dominion of wicked Queen Elizabeth I, and consummated his sufferings on the gibbet before a furious crowd, in 1588.
- In the same place, eight years later, BB George Errington, William Gibson and William Knight, who, when they but defended those proscribed as priests, by various torments were given over to martyrdom, in 1596.
- In Aceh in the island of Sumatra, the blessed martyrs Denis of the Nativity (Peter) Berthelot, priest, and Redemptus of the Cross (Thomas) Rodriguez, religious, both of the Discalced Carmelites, who were first enslaved by Mahometans and then slain with arrows by the sea shore, in 1638.
- At Luceria in Apulia, St Francis Antony Fasani, a priest of the Conventual Franciscans, who, a man by exquisite doctrine, preaching and penitential practice greatly supported, so consoled the poor and needy that he never stopped even to give away his habit, and to offer Christian aid to everyone, in 1742.
- At the place called El Saler near Valencia in Spain, Bl Alaphrid Simon Colomina, Jesuit priest and martyr, who in the persecution of the Church confirmed his fidelity to the Lord by his blood, in 1936.
Sancti Dei omnes, intercedere dignemini pro nostra omniumque salute!
