Remember my friend, she saved my lifeSHE has a burned bottom and blistered feet, a hacking cough and a voice still husky from smoke. But not so husky she can't retell the story of her escape from Saturday's bushfire. In a town full of escape stories, hers has become the most famous. Police and ambulance officers suspect she is a rural myth until they meet her: "Oh my God, you're Gemma and you're alive!" (more)
Storm catches SymondsCricketer Andrew Symonds is among a raft of sport stars, along with former Australian cricket team coach John Buchanan, to have been caught up in the collapse of financial planning group Storm Financial...Many of Storm's 13,500 clients nationally, from the Torres Strait to Geelong, have had their savings wiped out this year and some stand to lose their houses due to an aggressive stock market investment strategy which relied on using high levels of debt.

Retail king slams 'no-hoper' charityRETAILING billionaire Gerry Harvey has lamented that Australian charity is being wasted on "no-hopers". Asked in a new book about his community role, Mr Harvey said giving to people who "are not putting anything back into the community" is like "helping a whole heap of no-hopers to survive for no good reason". He said it was arguable that giving charity to the homeless was "just wasted". "It might be a callous way of putting it but what are they doing?" he said. "They are just a drag on the whole community." (Source)

Barack Obama WinsI haven't really followed the US Election until about a few weeks ago when I began taking an interest. You could probably tell after I posted a lot of videos on my blog on the election. The campaign is now over and the American people have made their choice. Obama it is. Foreigners, from London to Melbourne, from Baghdad to Moscow, have been caught up into this election just as much as the Americans. With the influence of the USA as a leader in every front -- politically, militarily and economically -- it is no surprise. Personally, I am relieved that Obama is America's new leader. He seemed to be the more capable man for the job. His ability to identify and prioritise issues, the way he articulated his vision and the way he conducted his campaign were all equally inspiring as is his person, and his life. Here was his speech:

"Wealth is not measured by how much money we earn, or how much assets we have. It is measured by how much freedom we have to make the choices that are important to us: the freedom to choose where, how and why we live our lives."
-- Marquez Comelab
We go to work everyday. It is something we need to do, so we might as well do it with happy spirits. But in our spare time, nothing stops us from exploring the possibilities of all that we can achieve and all that we can give to ourselves, to the people we love and to the world around us.
You may already be trading the financial markets or you may have never heard of currency trading before, but if you want to take ownership and responsibility for your own economic future, then this book is for you.
In his simple, easy-to-understand language, the author takes you through a thorough study of all the crucial aspects of trading that can help novice and intermediate traders. Reading through it is much like having a friend next to you, patiently explaining everything you need to know to prepare for your journey, avoid the pitfalls of trading, accelerate your education and develop your own trading methodology.
REVIEW
"Your book is extremely well written. I have now read many and it shows all others to be amateur in comparison. It is the inspiration for me entering the profession with confidence after previously coming to the conclusion that Forex is nothing but a gamble."

The Tyranny Of God
E-Book Edition
$15 USDs
Is there a God? Where do the animals, plants and human beings come from? Are scriptures the words of gods? Does religion teach us to live moral lives? Why do so many people kill and are killed over it? How should we live our lives if God exists? How should we live it if God does NOT exist?
This book explores the truth behind our beliefs in God and the propensity of human beings to be religious. In an honest attempt to seek the answers to life's deepest questions, I probe into how life began. I then progress to investigate the true nature of religions and their impact on our lives and the rest of humanity.
The main purpose of this book is not to argue against religion. Rather, it tells our story and how we have come to oppress ourselves with the tyranny of our own beliefs. I wrote this book to include everything I discovered to be relevant in my search for the truth, not just the truth behind God and morality, but also behind us and our existence. Instead of reading this book with the expectation that it is trying to prove the tyranny of God, I would like to recommend you read it as a story book: as a book that tells the story of humanity from the Big Bang.
REVIEW
"While Comelab's writing is always moderate in tone, its message clearly undermines current distractions with accommodationist arguments towards presumed religious "moderates". It is written with the fresh confidence of a young man who has had early success in his adopted country and only recently come to realise the truth of atheism. For those like me whose only worry about Atheism has long been its faultering progress, Comelab reminds us that much of the energy must continue to come from those who have more recently learned the truth. He seems more than bright enough to soon progress to seeing atheism not as an end but as a starting point to the kind of understanding that should enable us to work towards a future incomparably better than any heaven the faithful can imagine."
