I can't believe I'm actually having to argue with people about this, but yes, the Official and Ineffable adaptation of the GOOD OMENS novel into a graphic novel is actually OFFICIAL, like as in very official and real, and I am not some ne'er do well absconding with rights I don't have rights to.

I am working as the hire of the Terry Pratchett estate and Neil Gaiman. I didn't grab the book and run away with it, and make comic book pictures unbidden.

The Kickstarter launches today. The Terry Pratchett Estate is self publishing it through their company Dunmanifestin.

All of this is very easy to research on the internet. Because there are lots and lots of articles about it.

Like these.

I've adapted a number of works by Neil Gaiman and have won some nice awards doing that, which is also easy to research.

The Kickstarter launches today at 12 EST.

I really appreciate that people are passionate about this, but I am also passionate about it and am very happy to be working on it.

It is not an adaptation of the show. It is an adaptation of the novel.

Thank you.

Claudius Ptolemy (100 - 170) King of Astrologers and his famous work “Tetrábiblos” (Four Books) also known as Apotelematika (~ On the effects). The main key-question of Ptolemy can be summarized in one question: To what extent do changes in the world correspond to the positions of the stars?

Over ten centuries this work influenced the astrology of the occident. In critical processing Ptolemy is reconditioning Ancient Egyptian, Babylonian and Greek astrology by collecting the astrological knowledge and by "cleansing" the systems of (religious) mythology. It was discussed for centuries, if Ptolemy is the original writer, as it was common to publish under famous pseudonyms. Today we have evidences to locate the time of origin between 139 - 161. Ptolemy is particularly critical against all indefinite claims, where he shows the spririt of the real scientist, by emphasizing, that all astrological knowledge is based on hypthothesis, as it will stay impossible to conisider and know of all the influences, effecting on the galaxy, the planets and the region, the human-being lives in. The Bible of Astrology by the so said Pharao and Priest Nechepso and Petosiris, can be considered as a negative example: Boundless interpreting of fixed stars, predictions used for sensation, motivated by lucrative and therefore false means. Ptolemy also rejected the Doctrine of Decane as 'tangled rhapsody'. Astrology is not an evidence-based science, but similiar to laws of nature, the researcher can built principles by observing and translating the phenomenon into a formula.

The main works of Ptolemy Megale Syntaxis and Constructio mathematica are known under the Arabic title Almagest. Camerius was the first book binder, who published the first flawless translation of the Tetrabiblos syntaxis in 1533. Melanchthon writes 1300 years after the publicition to Erasmus Ebner about the Tetrábiblos and is praising the scientific significance behind the astrological work of Ptolemy and with regard to Plato, underlining that we can (re-)find God in the most multifarious and mellifluous ways and that God has given the human-beings science and retained it also in the creation, so it can still shine through the manifold circulation of being.

This wonderful velvet edition is the rare version of Camerius, provided by Melanchthon. It is huge luck in historico-cultural way, that Ptolemy could have saved those testimonies from the fires in Alexendria, as he has, similiar to Euclid, the special merit to have collected and preserved knowledge, that would have got lost. The book is, as the title assumes, divided into four parts. The first book deals with the basics of astrology, describing the system of general predicitions, conditions of the stars and the movements of planetary orbits. In the second book Ptolemy is presenting the geographical astrology and the meteorology, here we learn the different constellations and their influence on earth. Similiar to the calculation of the nativity, it is necessary to set the region of preditional purpose into relation to deduce the astrological devination into forecast. It is exciting how geometry is used to calculate under which planet and stars the region is reigned. The Method of Angular House (in German Eckhäuser, in Greek Kentra) is also used in the system of Cabbala. In all likelihood, those methods came from Egypt, through Alexander the Great and the expansive work and travelling of the Priest of Marduk and Belus named Berossos (~ 280 BC), who is not only the most significant beholder of Babylonian history, but also an astrologist, who gave birth to the Hellenistic Astrology. It is likely, that due to the long period of astrological research in Babylon and India, that the knowledge wandered slowly into the European continent/culture under the mass migration. Small reference to King Sulgi (* 2092 BC), it is written that after "death" and the Ascension [!], he has become the Star of Sulgi: "Shepherd I am, may they praise me in prayer like a star." In astrological history it is generally said, that the Ancient Egyptians are the Masters of Trigones (relativeness between planets and the sign of zodiac, equal distances between right angles to the tropic point = Equinox) and the Chaldean (who where also living in the Mesopotamian region, but seem to have "dissapeared") are considered as the Masters of Angular Houses. This whole calculation could take books of explanation, it will not be possible to establish a holistic examination of this huge theme. But this system of calculation is the basis for white and black magic aswell. The hylegialic points of the Angular house give signs about the descendent spirit, later Paracelsus is defining the punctum ascemdens as the rising point of the ecliptic. Those methods are obligatory for the next book, because in the books three and four the astrology of birth is the main topic. Ptolemy underdraws the two sides of being: There are effects of necessity, which can not be changed (Laws of Nature) and there are effects of convertibility (diseases by unhealthy lifestyle). Ptolemy is comparing the aim behind predicitions in the prohibition of bad events, he takes the Egyptians as an example for connecting astrology with medicine. Actually the system of astrology is prioritising the moment of cenception for a 'valid' prediction of future, as we have the tendency to rather not know the circumstances of our procreation, the interpretation of our fate is scheduled in our natal hour. It is believed that all crafts in heaven have an impact on earth (just think of the moon and its effects on earth, the sun as life-giver) and that the constellation in the galaxy is also forming the seed and therefore the skills and handicaps. All regions are under the influence of different planets, each planet has different characteristics and therefore effects on our earth, ultimately on the single individual. By interpreting the sublunary basic elements and putting them into the context of natural origin in the cosmos, it is possible to set up a thesis for henceforth forecasting.

Just as a reminder: There is no solid knowledge, errors can not be prohibited. Until this time, parts of astrological prediction are used in weather forecasts, but we all made the empirical experience, that the weather can break rapidly, when the winds, who are also the impulses of reigning planets, are changing. Empirical it is also indisputable, that the region, we are born in, has a massive impact on our personality, on our physical development, on our chances for mobility and education. The relevance of the first moments and years, after our birth, are getting more and more attention due to neuro-physiological findings. As there is much for which our power is limited, there is enough to upheave ourselves, to find new forms of break-throughs, when we are chained, to nurture the hope to carry on and bring sense into our life. And if it is just a little twinkling star far faaar away from our stretched out arm, as we live in this symphony of creation, we should strive to bring all those different wonderful tones into accordance, after every single one was able to find harmony within himself.

Tarot 101: History and the Arcanas

Lets go over a quick summary of Tarot's history and Arcanas

Brief history

The history of tarot can be traced as far back as Egypt, back to the great Library of Alexandria where scrolls were housed by the famous librarian, mathematician, Philosopher and astronomer, Hypatia. Within the library were scrolls of the book of thoth which is said to contain texts written by Thoth, the Egyptian god of knowledge and writing. The illustrations of the tarot cards at the time are said to contain secret teachings which is presented by the major Arcana that represents a course in personal and Spiritual Development.

The minor Arcana appears later in time and has history in different areas of the world   In the Fourteen hundreds Italian Aristocrats use the cards called “trionfi” to play a game called “Il trionfos”. Artists were commissioned to create the cards that were either hand-painted or printed on wood blocks. Players took the themes shown on the cards and composed poems about each other. One of the earliest decks that still exist is the Visconti Tarot that was commissioned by the Duke of Milan in the mid 1400 that was printed on gold and silver foil.

Tarot cards also existed in areas of Asia such as India. It is hypothesized that cards were brought over to Europe by the Knights of Templar; there were also suggestions that the cards were brought by Romani travelers from the east to Europe in the Middle Ages. Tarot also appeared in Islamic playing cards from a card game in the 14th or 15th Century that was popular among the wealthy and higher class. One deck was called the Mamluk deck that had an important influence in Tarot cards today. The deck consisted of four suits: the coins, the cups, the swords and polo sticks, as well as 10 numbered cards and 4 Court cards per suit. However, It is only assumed that this card game was used for fortune-telling.

In Spain, the Spanish nobility in the fifteenth century played a game called Juego de Naypes that came with 49 cards. These cards specifically were used to tell fortunes and reveal Secrets especially in the matters of love. These cards were divided into four suits that were based on women. These suits were called maiden's, wives, widows and nuns and were used to show what someone loved or desired most. Each card would have a verse or poem that had the same amount of lines as the card number. These cards began to be used by fortune tellers and were laid out in a similar way as modern tarot spreads today.

The most common tarot card deck known today is the Rider -Waite-Smith Tarot which was developed in 1909 by Arthur Edward Waite, who commissioned Pamela Colman Smith an artist and Theatrical designer to create the deck. Smith produced 78 paintings which became the cards of the Tarot deck; the deck was then published under the London company William Rider and son in 1910. The deck became noticeable for it's storytelling scenes that were depicted in the major Arcana as a way to convey their meanings. This design allowed readers to read the card intuitively and since the original publication of the deck a number variations have been created since then. And while many have made different designs and types of Tarot deck, the Rider-Waite-Smith Deck is one of the more popular cards today.

The Cards

Standard Tarot decks consist of seventy-eight cards, divided into two groups called the Major and Minor Arcana, the word Arcana meaning Secret. The major arcana consists of 22 cards, and the minor consists of 56 cards. The major arcana often reflects events in your life that are important and long lasting, “major” events in your life. While the minor arcana often depicts day to day events. It can also be seen as aspects that can affect you more personally in comparison to the minor arcana that may not.

The major arcana is numbered from 0 to XX or twenty. It follows the journey of the fool all the way to the completion of the world. Unlike the minor arcana, the major arcana does not correspond with the suit of playing cards, they slightly vary depending on the deck. The minor arcana correspond with the suits in traditional playing card decks as well as the four elements of water, fire, air and earth.

The suits

There are four suits in the minor arcana that are numbers from 1-10 with the Ace being the first card and the court cards known as the page, the knight, the queen and the king of the suits in traditional tarot decks.

The Wands are often associated with the suit of clubs and are represented by the element of fire, it is also a representation of your higher self or your higher realm, or in other words the spirit. They are also associated with the season of spring and in terms of time represent days. The qualities of the wands are elements such as action, creativity, energy, enterprise, intuition, hope and potential. In astrology they are represented by the signs Aries, Leo and Sagittarius that are also fire signs.

The cups are associated with the suit of hearts and are related to the element of water and represent a person’s emotions. In terms of timing it is associated with the months And is associated with the season of Summer. The qualities of the cups contain such keywords such as, love, relationships, happiness, harmony, sensitivity, emotion and fulfillment. In astrology they are represented by the zodiac signs of cancer, pisces and scorpio.

The swords were associated with a suit of Spades and are related to the element of air and represent a person's mental plane. In terms of timing the cars can be associated with weeks and are associated with the season of autumn or fall. The swords represent qualities such as ideas, communication, conflict struggle , separation resolution and change. In astrology they're represented by the zodiac sign of Gemini Libra and Aquarius.

The Pentacles are associated with the suit of diamonds and are related to the element of Earth And represent a person's physical self. The Pentacles can be associated with the timing in terms of years and is related to the Season Winter. The storage represents keywords such as money, work, talent, reputation, achievements, stability and material wealth. In astrology they are represented by the signs of Taurus Virgo and Capricorn.

LBF 2024 – the public space returns with real conversations

The 2024 London Book Fair returned this year at the iconic Olympia with its famous barrel-vaulted roof and magnificent cast-iron galleries. The fair had been moved to 12 to 14 March, after initially being scheduled for 16 to 18 April. The change was prompted by the Bologna Children’s Book Fair announcing its dates for 8 to 11 April, just a few days before the original LBF dates, which would have been a problem for those attending both fairs. 

http://indianprinterpublisher.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/lbf24-photo-midas-pr-web750.jpg

Exhibitors from India were also back in business with around 35 booths, including NBT’s collective stand. Unfortunately, and unlike previous years, LBF’s country statistics this year provided numbers not according to where exhibitors are headquartered but based on their markets. Out of the 180-some exhibitors from Asia-Pacific, 56 were based or selling in India, 56 in mainland China, 42 in Japan, 36 in Hong Kong, 36 in South Korea, 35 in Singapore, 29 in Malaysia, 28 in Taiwan, 26 in Thailand, 24 in Vietnam, 23 in the Philippines, 20 in Indonesia, several companies in Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Myanmar, Mongolia, and 67 in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific islands.

India’s multilingual opportunity

One of the panel discussions held on the first day of the fair, “Dynamics of India’s Multilingual Market,” explored the intricacies and opportunities of India's multilingual publishing market. The panel included Yuvraj Malik, NBT’s managing director; Aditi Maheshwari, CEO of the Vani Prakashan Group; Prashant Pathak, director of Publishing Operations at Prakash Books; and, Ajay Mago, publisher at Om Books. The discussion centered around the impact of India’s new National Education Policy 2020 and its emphasis on multilingualism. From the rise of Indian languages to the potential for global collaborations, the panel tried to analyse the dynamic forces shaping India’s diverse publishing industry and provide insights to international publishers interested in collaborative ventures.

English Pen seminars – Palestine, free expression

Also on the first day, Book Workers for a Free Palestine held a vigil in front of the entrance, “to mark the death of Palestinian writers, poets, academics and journalists killed by Israel,” as Penguin publishing director Ailah Ahmed explained. The English PEN ran two seminars on ‘Palestine, Israel, and Free Expression in the UK,’ featuring authors Selma Dabbagh, Isabella Hammad, Rafeef Ziadah, Palestine Festival of Literature producer Yasmin El-Rifae, Oxford University professor of International Relations Avi Shlaim, and the vice president of the British Society of Middle Eastern Studies Professor Neve Gordon. The discussion focused on the cancellation of multiple events that were to include Palestinian artists over the past six months.

Iraqi-Jewish Professor Shlaim said that the UK had a longstanding issue with “freedom of expression” when it comes to Israel and Palestine. “The climate of opinion favours Israel and British Jews, and it’s very hostile to Palestinians and Muslims.” He also criticised the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of anti-semitism, which is largely supported by UK institutions as being “weaponised in order to silence free speech on Israel.”

But also at LBF 2024, Profile Books acquired the rights to publish What Does Israel Fear from Palestine? by Raja Shehadeh. In the book, Palestinian lawyer and founder of the human rights organization Al-Haq Shehadah, explores the opportunities for peace that were rejected by Israel since its formation in 1948. 

Writers against the war on Gaza

In the meantime, more than 3,000 writers, editors, and Hollywood celebrities have joined forces to express their solidarity with the Palestinian people in a letter responding to the ongoing conflict. Taking their inspiration from the 1960s’ American Writers Against the Vietnam War, they formed an impromptu international coalition, Writers Against the War on Gaza, supported by high-profile names such as Susan Sarandon, Gael García Bernal, Jia Tolentino, Ocean Vuong, Valeria Luiselli, Cathy Park Hong, Hannah Black, Ari Brostoff, Kyle Dacuyan and others from diverse publications and institutions. The authors recognise that while their words alone cannot halt the devastation in Gaza, they intend “to challenge and rectify the distortions and misrepresentations in the media. The coalition strongly condemns those in their field who they believe perpetuate apartheid and genocide narratives.”

The next LBF is to take place from 11 to 13 March 2025.

Top 10 Ecommerce Companies in India in 2023

Ecommerce companies in India have grown enormously over the past few decades due to the worldwide availability of supply chains, logistics, and Internet facilities.

Small businesses can now compete with larger enterprises and reach a wider audience thanks to e-commerce firms. They can establish an online shop, use e-commerce platforms to sell their goods, and use the same finance and customer service options as bigger businesses.

Top 10 Ecommerce Companies in India

Below is the best ecommerce business list: 

1. Amazon

Amazon is among the top e-commerce companies in India. In June 2013, Amazon India, a division of the international retail behemoth, initially welcomed customers from India. Amazon focuses on providing the best-class service to its customers. 

Fast same-day and overnight shipping that caters to today’s frequent customers is synonymous with the brand. Many in-demand businesses, like Xiaomi and Apple, use it as their platform of choice to introduce the newest technology, including smartphones and TVs. 

2. Flipkart

Flipkart entered the e-commerce market by selling books. Since then, it has swiftly grown to take on several additional retail areas. It is well-known in the ecommerce industry for offering incredibly cheap electronic goods, including cell phones and household appliances. 

One of the greatest and most anticipated discount sales in the Indian e-commerce sector, Flipkart’s “Big Billion Days,” has prices reduced by up to 90%. Flipkart is also considered among the top ecommerce companies in India. 

3. Nykaa

Nykaa is an Indian online shopping site focusing on health and cosmetic supplies. Falguni Nayar, a former finance banker, launched it in 2012. Various cosmetics, beauty products, haircare, fragrances, and personal care items from Indian and foreign brands are available on Nykaa.

They sell baby food, picture books, bed guards, nursery décor, and pregnancy care supplies.

The largest ticketing site for films and activities in India is BookMyShow. The BigTree Entertainment firm launched the platform as a ticket aggregator, making it the market leader for online cinema ticketing in India. The platform holds more than 90% of the market share in its industry. 

Movie feedback, trailers, and interviews with famous people are also available. Both the mobile app and the website are accessible for iOS and Android users to use to make reservations for tickets. BookMyShow has established itself as a go-to site for people wishing to purchase tickets for musical performances and other events because of its user-friendly design and a broad selection of services.

Why should I self-publish?

Why should I self-publish?

Whether you are a well-known person or not, young or old, getting a book published in your name is a natural desire. Many would like to write a novel, self-help book, poetry, biography, or an anthology. What keeps us back is the fear that either completing a book is too hard or the fear of rejection from publishing houses. No more. Newer options in publishing allow a writer to publish a book almost at will.

 Why Self-publish Your Book?

1. Most well-known personalities are keen to be called ‘author ‘and like to have a book published under their name. Why? – It is prestigious and increases your social and professional reputation. Think of all the famous people and ‘google’ if they have written a book. You will find many would have done so.

2. The book is written to benefit the readers, but it must be published first. It is as good as dead if readers cannot get to read it because no traditional publisher steps forward to publish it. Your labour of love has gone down the drain.

3. When an author is ready with a manuscript, they become desperate to publish it. Waiting even for a day becomes arduous. But finding a publisher willing to publish can take a long time, sometimes many months. You start on your book publishing journey by writing emails and calling publishing agents and traditional publishers. Did a few publishers care to reply? Many-a-times, writers come to a point when they cannot wait any longer or the pile of rejections becomes too high. That is when they decide to take things into their own hands and not wait for the elusive book deal. The author starts looking for an alternative way to get his book published. Till a couple of years back, there was no other option. Now self-publishing a book has gained momentum.  

4. Pay-offs can be huge. Like any aspect of life, there are a few downsides to self-publishing, but there is a possibility of a vast pay-off too. After zeroing in on self-publishing, the first step is to get in touch with a self-publisher who has excellent testimonials and can get the process going. It is possible to have a published book in your hands without any pain in as few as 4-5 weeks.

5. Be the master of your book. A traditional publisher has a set idea of what a book should contain and therefore, an author is forced to add/make changes to meet that set formula. A major benefit of self-publishing is that you can write exactly what you want and how.

6. Earn up 100% royalties on net profit. Traditional publishers are really economical with royalties. Earning as much as 80-90% in self-publishing is possible! You would undoubtedly want to be in the driver’s seat as far as your book is concerned.

7. Self-publish a book in weeks. For many new or first-time writer’s self-publishing a book is a good idea because the traditional publishing process is painfully inefficient. Because the author never really knows what is going on at ANY stage. And if an agent is involved, the process is even more out of your control. You want your book to be in your reader’s hands within a month. No one is interested in waiting for months or years on end, never knowing when the book will be on the market.

8. Be involved at every stage of self-publishing your book. There is nothing more deeply satisfying than being involved in the entire process of converting a manuscript into a perfect book. As an author, you are kept abreast of all steps, including designing the cover and the “look” of the book, formatting the contents, printing, pricing, sales and distribution. You can share your feedback at all stages and see them implemented quickly.

9. You can be based anywhere in the world to self-publish your book. To self-publish a book, you can be based anywhere in India – in large cities like Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, or the smallest of towns. You only need an internet connection and a courier service to receive your printed books!

10. Join well-known personalities. All well-known personalities in India or abroad have a book to their credit, be it the PM of India, or Bill Gates. There is a certain prestige attached to becoming an author.  Hence increasingly, it’s becoming necessary if you want to move up. It doesn’t matter what genre the book belongs to – it could be a non-fiction book in your specialization or a fiction book.

Currently, several companies are offering self-publishing services. There is no shortage of options. You may take the free publishing or paid publishing option.

Self-publishing a book in India with the help of experts is now a viable option for first-time authors, new authors and established authors. With growing literacy, the number of people who want to express their creativity or share their knowledge has grown exponentially. Authors often face extreme difficulty finding a publisher to publish their work. A voice for all authors is needed – self-publishing is one such voice. I hope this post has all you need to know about self-publishing.

New Year's riddle from the Rothschild magazine (2019)

Every year, the British magazine The Economist comes out with a mystery cover, which is considered an economic prophecy for the coming year from the Rothschild clan, which owns this publication. This year the first page is decorated in the style of Leonardo da Vinci. A number of transcripts-interpretations of the Rothschild rebus for 2019 have already been published. We decided to make our contribution to unraveling this economic prophecy.

The central figure of the cover is Leonardo da Vinci's famous Vitruvian Man. Leonardo created this drawing as an illustration for his book dedicated to the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius. The figure of the Vitruvian Man has the so-called canonical proportions, that is, the ideal ratios between all parts of the body by the standards of that time.

The Vitruvian Man is depicted against the background of the Atlantic Ocean, which may be a hint that the Atlantic will become the center of confrontation between the leading world powers. It is worth noting that Great Britain and Israel have created in recent years in Argentina a whole network of military bases and training camps. Recently, the Argentine government agreed to the construction of US military bases in the country. Thus, these countries have a full opportunity to control the natural resources of the South Atlantic, which, according to the Marshall Fund, are not inferior to the resources of Eurasia.

At the top of the cover, the profiles of two political leaders stand out - Donald Trump (who faces east and, as the picture shows, has ideal facial proportions, which means he will probably get along with the new composition of Congress) and Vladimir Putin, who faces west . Above Putin's profile is the inscription "Putins pipelines" (Putin's pipelines), made in a mirror image, like all Leonardo's notes, and a little lower is a drawing of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Behind Putin's profile is Pinocchio with a long nose as a symbol of disinformation. Nothing else could be expected from the Rothschilds as co-owners of the British Crown and accomplices in the information war against Russia.

The Apocalypse spell fatal trouble for the oil-exporting powers, which is not far from the truth in light of the recent sharp drop in global oil prices. The majestic Mount Fuji hovers over Putin's head, which may mean a solution to the issue of the Kuril Islands and the conclusion of peace between Japan and the Russian Federation. Trump's attentive gaze is directed towards Russia and Japan. The 45th President of the United States clearly intends to capitalize on possible deals between these countries.

The English bulldog sits on the soil of North America, which symbolizes the final break of Great Britain with the European Union and the closest rapprochement, and, possibly, the unification of Foggy Albion with its former colony. A little to the left of the English bulldog runs an Indian elephant with tusks-arrows of stock indexes pointing upwards. There can be no doubt about this - India is developing dynamically, almost not participating in the tough confrontation between East and West. A Chinese panda sits on the glaciers of Greenland, cowering and shivering from the cold. Perhaps this is a hint of the coming financial difficulties in the China.

The stork carries a basket with a digital code - a hint at the chipization of children at birth or the birth of children from a test tube with an altered genetic code. Mahatma Gandhi sadly looks at an incomprehensible device resembling a box for lottery tickets, and apparently regrets that the fate of the world is still dependent on chance. The editors of the magazine in the commentary on the cover write that elections are expected in India, Indonesia and throughout Europe, illustrating this with a drawing of a ballot box.

Mona Angelina is, of course, Angelina Jolie, next to whom runs an armadillo, which, as you know, lives in Central and South America. Perhaps this is a hint that Brad Pitt's ex-wife will be in demand in these regions of the world as a vivid symbol of the US "soft power" strategy.

The bearded man in the hat is the great American poet Walt Whitman, the mouthpiece of the northerners during the Civil War. He is so far from Trump, and does not look in his direction, that doubt involuntarily creeps in that he shares his ideals. The New Horizons spacecraft flies towards the asteroid Ultima Thule in the Kuiper belt to photograph it. A hint of growing interest in deep space exploration.

Leonard's profile of a man and next to it the inscription "Facial recoginition" reminds of the total digital surveillance awaiting humanity. Leonard's helicopter flies to the moon, which means a new lunar race, of course, on more modern aircraft. The electric car heralds the expulsion of hydrocarbon engines from the automotive industry.

In his outstretched arms over America, the Vitruvian Man holds cannabis leaves and a baseball, which can symbolize the legalization of marijuana in the Western Hemisphere (following the example of Canada) and sports fun as a means of calming the seriously agitated society. The other hands (he has four) of the Vitruvian man hold over the rest of the planet a mobile phone and scales in which little men sit.

Most likely, this is a hint at the total digitalization of mankind. Several inscriptions at the top of the cover serve as a guide to the forecast: "Leonardo da Vinci 500 years old." Well, that's understandable and undeniable. "Angelina Jolie cares about refugees."

However, an exotic animal is drawn next to her. Is this a hint at the well-known scandalous statement of the new President of Brazil Bolsonaro, who called black political activists animals, whose place is in the zoo. "Pony Ma" Virtuous tech (Pony Ma - virtuous technologies). What does it mean? Pony Ma is the nickname of Chinese billionaire Ma Huateng, one of the richest people in the world who has done a lot to spread the Internet in China. IMF chief Christine Lagarde, Steve Jobs' widow Lauren Powell, and New York Stock Exchange president Stacey Cunningham are also mentioned in a positive light, apparently as symbols of the expansion of feminization.

On Vitruvian Man's arm is the #MeToo hashtag, which went viral on social media in October 2017 following allegations of sexual harassment by film producer Harvey Weinstein.

By the way, this hashtag is the only inscription that is not mirrored. In addition, below is a self-portrait of the 17th-century artist Artemisia Gentileschi, who was raped by her teacher at a young age. In court, she was subjected to humiliating examination and torture to verify the veracity of her accusations before her rapist was sentenced to only a year in prison.

Gentileschi has now become a symbol of the struggle for the rights of women who have been sexually abused, she is called the symbol of #MeToo. It is impossible not to conclude that, in fact, the cover of the Rothschild magazine is not a prophecy in the truest sense of the word. It only interprets the current events in a favorable light for these financial magnates, being part of the all-pervasive information aggression that the West is waging around the world.
