I don't want to self publish a book, because that can be very hard, but so can finding a publisher, and editor. I need facts, websites, suggestions, and names of company's please. If you work with or in a company, that's good too.

I read somewhere that it is believed that Native Americans came from Asia. So, then are they of Asian ancestry?Do they have Asian blood because I read that they traced it back to Asia that way? I'm proud of my Native heritage, I just was asking.

Seems like everyone thinks they are authorized to make coment on Gita. I have heard of over 500 unauthorized versions. Lord Krishna Says that this knowledge must be heard from one who is in a pure disciplic succession (lineage), steming all the way from Him. In Bhaktivedanta Prabhupdadas Intoduction to the Gita, he shows the pure lineage, how LordKrishna gave this wisdom to Brahma, then Brahma to Narada then to Vyasa to Mahdava to Padmanabha to nirhari, Madhava, Aksobhya, Jaya Tirta, Jnanasindhu,Dayanidhi, Vidyanidhi, Rajendra, Jayadharma, Purusottoma, Brahmanya Tirtha, Vyasa Tirtha, Laksmipati, Madhavendra Puri(Nityananda and Advaita), Lord Caitanya, Rupa (Svarupa, Sanatana), Raghunatha, Jiva, Krishnadasa, Narottama, Visvanatha, (Baladeva),Jagannatha, Bhaktivinoda, Garuakishora, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, and A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhuada. So why so many other unauthorized comentaries. I prefer the original Absolute Truth.It is just safer.Thanks.
Sincer educated answers please

*****

Dream packages C.O.D. on U.P.S.
No goodies, unless they gets paid for
The bent brown box from a straight brown truck
My Buck knife slips down the taped edges
The flaps unfold, exploding foam
Underneath, another package I see
This one is wrapped in golden paper
To you from me, it says on the label
I lift out the package, spilling peanuts
The ribbon and bow had a rough trip in the truck
But my box looks no worse for wear
I loose the bindings from my bundle
Delicately tearing away the tape
I like to save the paper, I don’t know why
Under the golden sheet is another layer
A cornucopia printed on the box
I raise it up high and shake it around
I have no idea what is inside
It is very light…

*****




I warned you!
Ta Dah!

Chapter Three: Flash Memories.

The lights in the bathroom were dim and the tub was filling up with water. I took a look around the room and came across a bottle of bubble bath solution near the sink. There were a stack of towels on the towel rack above the toilet. I grabbed a white towel and tossed it onto the shower curtain. I picked the bottle and squirted some solution into the running water, creating a large lump of foam. While the tub was filling up, I look off my clothes and tossed them aside. By the time the tub was already half full, I twisted the faucet and took a dip into the lukewarm water. After a few minutes, I felt at peace. Squishing the thick foam felt like mashed potatoes. I took a second look around the room. The magenta walls and the dim light made nearly everything else appear the same color. The smell of chamomile swept me from reality. I was right about the bath. It really was a nice place to relax and think.

I submerged myself into the warm water and closed my eyes. The first thought I had was about the city of Grendel. The picture that came into my mind was the newspaper article that I have read earlier this morning. The mugshot of the girl resembled me and according to the article itself, I was wanted for something, but for what? What was it like in Grendel? Will I find some clue to my past? Will I ever find my parents? Should I go to Grendel? A part of me began to completely shut down.

I was no longer underwater. The sky was dark and the moon was half circular. A man stood in front of me, and he seemed to be waiting for me. The man did not smile. He had long red hair that was pulled back and braided.

“Come at me as if you’re going to kill me.” he said.

I nodded. I charged at him with great speed ready to attack, but he grabbed my hair the moment I was close enough to do so.

"Pathetic" He said and tossed me aside. "Try again"

I got back on my feet and panted. The man gave me a dirty look, he expected me to do a better job at whatever I was doing. I charged at him once more, and once again he pushed me aside.

"You're weak" he said, "I don't see the dark emotions in your eyes. All I see from you is love and affection. Do you love me Lily?"

"I do Master." I said and smiled at him.

"Get rid of it." he said. "I have told you several times. I don't love you back. I couldn’t care less about you. When are you ever going to get rid of this weak emotion?”

"I don't know Master." I whispered.

"What have I told you about that?"

"Love no one but you" Despite what he said, I still showed affection for him. "Because no one will love you back.”

"Good. Now, what are you to me?"

"Nothing more than your servant." I said. "Nothing more than your weapon and tool whose purpose is to do as Master sees fit."

"Good girl." said Master. "Let's go home"

I got up and followed him out of the meadow. The moment I held his hand, he snatched it away and gave me another dirty look.

“Master…” I whispered, but he ignored me.

“Master, why don’t you love?”

Master stopped walking and looked down at me. He seemed annoyed when he heard me ask that.

Mitochondrial dna involves tracing maternal roots.....right? Would this be only on ones mother's side? Or would mitochondrial dna also be used to trace dna along paternal lines with dna handed down from a paternal grandmother? Thanks for your help!

I'm trying to make money in every way I can to get my parents over here from a foreign country.

I can paint oil landscape scenes (like Bob Ross's work) but it takes a while and the supplies are expensive so I was wondering, based on what people would pay for them-- if it would be worth it to even make the mess?

And they look really good, but I'm not a famous artist or anything-- and they wouldn't be framed either.

Why is there so much hate in the world? This may be a question that can't be answered but still why? I think that if there were more love than hate we would all get along. Please help my troubled thoughts. Thank you all.

If one was to do a good deed, and simultaneously do a bad deed, why would he automatically be a bad guy, if the good deed clearly far outweighed the bad, still the bad would outweigh the good no matter how good the good, and how insignificant the bad.

I'm writing a short story right now. Well, I've written a bunch, but I'm not proud of many of them, as they all seem to move too fast. Is there anything I could do that could slow down my plot a bit? It's a love story, if that helps at all.

If as a child you had a deep love and interest for a certain culture, eventually you read about history and you realize this culture tried to wipe out your entire race in the past – for no good reason, would your views and interests be shifted away, would you become racist yourself, and direct all your hate towards that culture?

Why is it that we always fall for the movie stars. We never see their true personality. Most people don't, how can we love them if we don't even know them. The people we should really love is the people who wrote the script.......technically, they are the ones we are falling for.

i really really really want to become an actress, i go to a youth theatre and i have done performances in the theatre, and i have also been to so many workshops.
but they dont bring in talent scouts or agents or auditions, they brought one in once, but then they had to go home because the worker did a (literal) last min cancelation.
i have an agent, but i am not renewing my contract with them, because they are rubbish, so that takes me back to square one.
Would any one be able to email my profile some tips on how to become an actress or just leave me a comment with some websites?
Thank you
P.s.. im 13 and i live in yorkshire..
