Understanding mindfulness in investment involves cultivating a heightened awareness of both external opportunities and internal thought processes. Mindfulness encourages investors to remain present and engaged, enabling them to identify potential investments that may otherwise go unnoticed. This approach requires a shift from reactive thinking-where decisions are made based on fear or excitement-to a more deliberate and reflective mindset. By practicing mindfulness, investors can focus on the current market landscape, assess their emotional responses to market fluctuations, and make informed decisions based on a comprehensive understanding of their investment environment.

Georgian literary sources for Late Antiquity are commonly held to be later productions devoid of historical value. As a result, scholarship outside the Republic of Georgia has privileged Graeco-Roman and even Armenian narratives. However, when investigated within the dual contexts of a regional literary canon and the active participation of Caucasia’s diverse peoples in the Iranian Commonwealth, early Georgian texts emerge as a rich repository of late antique attitudes and outlooks. Georgian hagiographical and historiographical compositions open a unique window onto a northern part of the Sasanian world that, while sharing striking affinities with the Iranian heartland, was home to vibrant, cosmopolitan cultures that developed along their own trajectories. In these sources, precise and accurate information about the core of the Sasanian Empire-and before it, Parthia and Achaemenid Persia-is sparse; yet the thorough structuring of wider Caucasian society along Iranian and especially hybrid Iranic lines is altogether evident. Scrutiny of these texts reveals, inter alia, that the Old Georgian language is saturated with words drawn from Parthian and Middle Persian, a trait shared with Classical Armenian; that Caucasian society, like its Iranian counterpart, was dominated by powerful aristocratic houses, many of whose origins can be traced to Iran itself; and that the conception of kingship in the eastern Georgian realm of K’art’li (Iberia), even centuries after the royal family’s Christianisation in the 320s and 330s, was closely aligned with Arsacid and especially Sasanian models. There is also a literary dimension to the Irano-Caucasian nexus, aspects of which this volume exposes for the first time. The oldest surviving specimens of Georgian historiography exhibit intriguing parallels to the lost Sasanian XwadÄy-nÄmag, The Book of Kings, one of the precursors to FerdowsÄ’s ShÄhnÄma. As tangible products of the dense cross-cultural web drawing the re

This book was written by a great-grandma who wants to leave to her children the memories she has of her childhood. The book tells about the house she was born in, the church she attended, and the school she went to. It also tells about how the house was heated, how the laundry was done, growing a garden so there would be food through the winter, and living through the blizzard of 1948 and ’49. She also tells about how her great-grandpa settled in Greeley County and how he built his farm up from scratch and also helped build and then teach the first country school for many miles around. You get to see what a Charlie Brown Christmas was like back then. She tells about sewing on her mom’s sewing machine and getting her finger sewed. Also she tells about how kids kept busy back then. How she rode the steam engine train to Fullerton and spent a week in the big city of Grand Island. The story ends for now at her graduation from high school in 1959.
