How could the simple planting of a flag by a sailor mysteriously transfer total control over the destinies of the original inhabitants of Australia to a distant king of whom they had never heard?The sad answer to this question involves a series of illegal and corrupt decisions by the highest courts in England and Australia over more than 200 years. These decisions have served to deny the sovereignty of First Nations people. But these same decisions do not withstand rigorous legal scrutiny.From the mis-application of the doctrine of Terra Nullius to the dependence on flawed and discredited precedent in calling on the doctrine of Act of State, the illegality of the dispossession of Australia's indigenous people is laid bare.This legal deconstruction of the major cases reveals the extreme fragility of the arguments denying Indigenous sovereignty. In fact, it shows that the very arguments used to deny this sovereignty, actually demand its recognition.The Australian High Court has tied itself in knots to avoid facing the reality of Indigenous sovereignty. These knots are a legal fiction whose undoing illustrates the advantages of joint sovereignty as a just way forward for all Australian people.

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU..YOU ARE DIVINE PERFECTIONFrom birth we are conditioned to hate & criticize ourselves, becoming completely lost in a society that tells us we are not enough & need to be perfect to be accepted or fit in, then ourselves judge others for not being perfect! This is why rejection hurts so much, we have been rejecting ourselves our entire lives with the way we seek love, approval & validation being through other people & external things, which are unreliable sources because people only reflect back to us, what we truly think about ourselves. This can only be healed from within, so learning to love ourselves regardless with a solid inner foundation of trust, establishing emotional stability & unconditional self-acceptance knowing we are always OK exactly as we are, is what you will learn & discover within this book. You are the only one that teaches people how to treat you & when you love yourself, setting healthy boundaries is easy because you honour your worth & know what you deserve. Our birthright natural state of being is, All is well but with non-stop brain washing, we can become enslaved to a system that tells us we don't matter, suffering in an illusion of lack, fear & separation from ourselves & others, that creates chaos & dis-ease within our physical body or human meatsuit, locking your brain in survival mode & overthinking. With the truth of who we really are & where we came from being hidden, that reveals we matter way more than you could ever imagine. We are an angelic superhuman race that are destined to be the guardians of the multiverse with limitless co-creating abilities to manifest our own realities through words, thoughts, emotions & energy, manipulating matter with our vibrational frequencies as beings of light but first we need to master our minds. It is my sincerest hope that what I've learnt through my own journey is a beacon of guiding light to you, from self-hate to ultimate self-love, with your top priority always being, to become your own best friend! With a heart full of gratitude & blessings to you, Love Kylie

"A great book. Hopefully it will inspire few people who read it."--Alok SharmaIn this second book by Pierre Pambou Tsitsi, the Boomerang of Wealth introduces the spirit of opulence and explains how to manifest it every day of your life until your last breath. His first book, Your Vision from The Hunter Out of Africa was an inspiration for how to take the reader from the brink of possibility to the path of opportunity. This current book extends on these concepts. He discusses how the boomerang of wealth is the mechanism for opulence and abundance in your life. As you may have realised, the pursuit and accumulation of external things does not always bring about the sense of happiness and fulfilment that you desire. As you move through this book, you will come to understand how the projection of your own wealth expands to those around you and how it can touch millions and billions of people. What you achieve or don't achieve is in your own hands.

This story and other like it are the outcome of a game my four daughters and I used to play when they were quite young. Three would chose a random object or item and the fourth would make up a story about them, after about 5 minutes every body would contribute with the only proviso that it had to be positive. This created an atmosphere conducive to creative thinking. This story started out with the three objects-swimming pool, witches and a rainbow.

I was thinking about the eight witches' story and about poor Raina, she only seems to do things one or two days a year what happens to her the rest of the year? Or is she like beauty queens or models who only live while on stage or showing off their new clothes? I prefer sports for when you're not playing you can be training and learning how to play better.So this is the story of Raina

While writing this book, I felt intuitively that readers would want to know whether the Creator knew about the Mathematical Field. I have answered the question in one section of this book. Unfortunately, I do not know whether you will agree with me because as I mention in the book, human beings have free will.The book shows the beauty and purity of the Mathematical Field, particularly how the numbers follow specific rules to form different systems like Binary, Octal, Decimal, Duodecimal, and Hexadecimal, where they can have different place values. It is significant that the decimal system suits human beings and our design of 10 fingers and 10 toes for counting seems to be no accident. The rules of the decimal system allows the numbers to be easily added, subtracted, multiplied and divided. Even the higher functions of calculating square roots, cube roots, Sine, Cosine, Tan, logarithms, and exponentials can be easily calculated using a simple calculating machine. The numbers form sequences and series. The arithmetic and geometric series enable easy calculation of numbers using formulae. All the periodic functions like Sine, Cosine, Tan, and ex can be expressed as a series. The Algebraic Arm has shown us how lines and curves can be expressed as simple equations, which we can visualise on the Cartesian Plane in two dimensions. Through differentiation and integration, we can sketch curves and calculate areas and volumes. In the Geometric Arm, we can visualise the points forming lines and the lines forming different slopes and different angles. Geometry also shows the different formations the lines can take-three lines to form triangles, four lines to form quadrilaterals, five lines to form pentagons, and many other shapes with more lines. Geometry also shows the purity of the conic sections forming hyperbolas, ellipses, parabolas, and circles with specific equations and characteristics that enable them to be easily sketched. The manner in which the two foci of the ellipse can come together to form the beautiful circle with one centre and one radius is amazing. Although the Cartesian Plane is more of an algebraic way of showing points in terms of x and y coordinates from an origin of (0,0), the Geometric Arm has shown that points can be described geometrically, as a distance and an angle from an origin. Geometry has also shown us how points around a circle can be drawn as Sine and Cosine waves, which generate the numerous trigonometric identities. The Mathematical Field shows the importance of measurements, which has led to standardisation and mass production of goods and services. This has obviously made things easy for the large populations supported in the cities and towns all over the world. The Mathematical Field has also made it possible to draw and design objects before manufacture and construction; this eliminates errors and wastage.Numbers are essentially pure producing the same results when put in equations and formulae. Human beings and the Fields of Knowledge can produce uncertain results because of the free will issue. Mathematics allows for this in Probability Theory, a branch of Arithmetic Arm. The Sporting Field is full of probability associated with the results. If five horses are running in a race, there is only a certain probability that a particular horse will win. Also, if one tossed a coin, there is only a 50% chance of getting a head and a 50% chance of not getting a head. Probability Theory shows how to calculate the chances of certain events occurring.Finally, the Mathematical Field shows us how to sort the data accumulated in many of Fields of Knowledge to produce useful statistical data and generate formulae and applications in many other Fields of Knowledge, some of which will be considered in my next book.

Beyond your mind and body, lies your consciousness, which is aware of, but not a part of your thoughts. This book describes the journey of awakening to, and re-connecting with that consciousness, your essential nature. This awakening has been variously described as achieving "Enlightenment", "Spiritual Awakening" or "Awakening from the Dream". Labels aside, this awakening is available to us all.Having begun this journey, you will find purpose and meaning in your life as you gradually remember your true nature and access your own inner guidance.If you sense that there is something beyond your physical life story, then you are ready to begin that inner rite of passage.In describing his own life journey as a young man seeking answers to life's big questions to an awakening in consciousness in middle age, the author respectfully encourages you, also, to take that wonderful and magical journey, back home.Visit https://www.timcarterbooks.com/ for more information about the book.

"An absolutely delightful read. You aren't likely to find another book that covers everything from Mikhail Gorbachev to cow farts to Harvard Business School. But if you do, you can count on the fact that it won't be as fun to read. Christopher Stear has done a fabulous job of knitting together quick, pithy stories and insights into something that is clearly much greater than the sum of its parts. You won't have to spend a lot of time to get through it, but the takeaways could last you a lifetime." Mick MulvaneyFormer Member of Congress, US Budget Director, and Chief of Staff to The President of the United States

It is the end of the nineteenth century. The British Empire is at its peak, the industrial revolution has transformed society, and education is leading the way.
