Во введении к книге рассмативаются общие положения относительно распада многонациональных государств, отношений между народами, их территории и возможной этнической и религиозной близости. В главе 1 рассматривается схожесть и корреляция между словами. Корреляция – это отношение числа общих букв к числу букв более короткого из двух слов. Например, корреляция между словами «Осло» и «Стокгольм» равна 1 (т.е. 100%), поскольку все четыре буквы более короткого слова «Осло» содержатся в слове «Стокгольм». Схожесть между словами учитывает не только корреляцию, но и возможное совпадение первых букв и/или первых гласных, занимают ли общие буквы те же самые позиции и т. д. Например для имён «Бородино» и «Березина» двух мест, где произошли крупнейшие битвы Отечественной Войны 1812-13 года, их корреляция равна всего ½, но общие буквы (в том числе первые) находятся на одних и тех же местах, а чередование гласных с согласными в обоих словах повышает их схожесть. Приводятся примеры того как: 1) похожие имена подталкивают исследователей заниматься изучением похожих проблем; 2) имена диктуют их интересы (кино созд...

Книга сначала напоминает при помощи новых примеров про уже развитые автором в предыдущих книгах методы изучения закономерностей в истории (корреляция между словами, астрологические аспекты, периодичности, определяемые китайским гороскопом и Лунными Узлами). Устанавливаются удивительные совпадения относительно знаков Зодиака французских президентов, немецких канцлеров и генералов Гражданской Войны (1918-1922). Рассматриваются государства необычной формы (Мали, Сомалия, Индия) и эти географические аномалии связываются с межэтническими конфликтами. Проводится анализ астральных тем дат некоторых событий и их основных участников (как например революции 1830 и 1848 года в Европе, путч 1991 года в Москве и т. д.). Находятся исторические, географические и астрологические аналогии между арабскими революциями 2011 года с одной стороны и освободительными движениями в испанских колониях 19 века, революциями 1848 года, Второй Мировой Войной и протестными движениями 1968 года с другой. Книга предназначена для интересующихся историей и/или астрологией....

Сначала напоминается определение корреляции двух слов, а затем оно иллюстрируется именами мест битв и генералов Мировых Войн, а также и городов, имевших особый статус (анклавов, независимых городов и пр.). Астрологические аспекты (по западному гороскопу) между датами (соединение, оппозиция, трин, секстиль, квадратура) рассматриваются в контексте исторических событий и дат рождения и смерти в династии Тюдоров и в кланах Ганди и Кеннеди. Напоминаются определения Лунных Узлов и китайского гороскопа, после чего рассматриваются повторения исторических событий, объясняемые периодом 18.5 лет вращения Лунных Узлов и шестидесятилетним циклом китайского гороскопа. Например, интервал времени между японскими нападениями на Порт-Артур (1904) и Пёрл-Харбор (1941) равен двум периодам вращения Узлов. То же самое верно для восстания ткачей в Лионе (1834) и Парижской Коммуны (1871). Бельгия отделилась от Нидерландов в 1830 году, за 60 лет (1 цикл китайского гороскопа) до отделения Люксембурга и за 120 и 180 лет до моментов, когда Бельгия могла распасться. Изменения территории Османской Империи происходили чаще всего с интервалами времени между ними,...

Les vibrations du nom d'une personne font partie de sa personnalité et deviennent très importantes s'il s'agit d'une figure politique. Les influences planétaires (y compris les années de l'horoscope chinois et la révolution des Nœuds Lunaires) favorisent la répétition périodique dans l'histoire. Dans le livre on donne de nombreux exemples de répétitions historiques expliquées par l'horoscope chinois ou par la période de 18.5 ans de la révolution des Nœuds Lunaires (dont on rappelle les définitions). On considère aussi les aspects astrologiques (conjonctions, oppositions, trigones, carrés et sextiles, ainsi que la période faste de 30 jours qui suit notre anniversaire et la période néfaste de 50 jours qui le précède) et leur rôle pour une réussite ou un échec dans le contexte de l'histoire en donnant des exemples surtout de l'histoire moderne. Le livre pourrait intéresser les passionnés de l'histoire et/ou l'astrologie....

Description Details
Астрологические аспекты (соединения, оппозиции, трины, квадратуры, секстили) между датами двух исторических событий объясняют их схожий или противоположный характер. В качестве примеров приводятся Мюнхенская Конференция 1938 года и даты рождения её участников. Историческая периодичность может быть связана с периодом 60 лет китайского гороскопа (Россия аннексировала Крым в 2014 году, 60 лет спустя решения Хрущёва дать полуостров Украине). Полупериод 30 лет связан с парами событий, сочетающих аналогию с контрастом (Восстание Сипаев 1857 года и независимость Индии 1947 года, 1947=1857+90). Хронология конфликтов в сферах прямого геополитического влияния Германии, Сербии, Ирака, Китая и России рассматривается как продолжение изучения этих сфер в книге В. П. Костов «Правила истории». Сравниваются (исторически и географически) и другие регионы – Южная Европа, Грузия, Южная Америка, Испания и Мексика. Повторение исторических событий или аналогии между ними часто сопровождаются высокой корреляцией между именами их участников или мест битв. Пример – Восстание Боксеров (Boxer) и Война Буров (Boer)....

Le livre fait rappel à des approches vers l'analyse des règles de l'histoire (corrélation entre noms, aspects astrologiques, périodicités définies par l'horoscope chinois et les Nœuds Lunaires) développées dans les livres précédents de l'auteur en les illustrant par de nouveaux exemples. On constate des corrélations étonnantes entre les signes astraux des présidents français, des chanceliers allemands et des généraux de la Guerre Civile de Russie (1918-1922). On trouve des états dont la forme géographique présente des anomalies (tels que le Mali, la Somalie, l'Inde etc.) et on associe à cette forme des conflits interethniques. On analyse les thèmes astraux des jours de certains événements historiques et de personnages impliqués dans eux (par exemple les révolutions de 1830 et 1848, le putsch de 1991 à Moscou etc.). On trouve des coïncidences astrologiques, géographiques et historiques entre les révolutions arabes de 2011, les guerres d'indépendance dans les colonies espagnoles, la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, les révolutions de 1848 et les mouvements contestataires de 1968. Le livre est adressé aux intéréssés à l'histoire et/ou l'astro...

Description Details
Dans la préface on considère des généralités liées à la chute d'états multiethniques, les rapports entre les peuples, leur territoire, leur proximité ethnique et religieuse. Dans le chapitre 1 on considère la ressemblance et la corrélation entre les mots. La corrélation est le rapport entre le nombre de lettres en commun et le nombre de lettres dans le plus court des deux mots. Par exemple, la corrélation entre ``Oslo'' et ``Stockholm'' est de 100% car toutes les quatre lettres du plus court des deux mots (notamment, ``Oslo'') sont contenues dans ``Stockholm''. La ressemblance tient compte non seulement de la corrélation, mais aussi si les premières lettres sont les mêmes, si les premières voyelles sont les mêmes, si les lettres en commun sont dans les mêmes positions etc. Par exemple les noms des deux endroits ou les plus importantes des batailles de la campagne de Napoléon Bonaparte en Russie ont eu lieu sont ``Borodino'' et ``Bérézina'' (les historiens français préfèrent parler de la bataille de la Moscova, pas celle de Borodino). La corrélation est seulement de 1/2, mais les lettres en commu...

Description Details
Astrological aspects (conjunctions, oppositions, trines, squares, sextiles) between dates of two historical events explain their similar or opposite character. This is illustrated by the example of the Munich Conference (1938) and the birth dates of its participants. Historical repetitions connected with the 60 years period of the Chinese horoscope are considered (Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, 60 years after the peninsula was given to Ukraine by order of Khrushchev). The half-period of 30 years is connected with couples of events combining analogy with contrast (e.g. the Sepoy uprising of 1857 and India's independence of 1947=1857+90). The chronology of the conflicts in the spheres of direct geopolitical influence of Germany, Serbia, Iraq, China and Russia is examined as a continuation of the comparative study of these spheres performed in V. P. Kostov, "The Rules of History". Other regions are also compared historically and geographically - South Europe, Georgia, South America, Spain and Mexico. Repetition of historical events or their analogy is often accompanied by high correlations between names of participants or places of bat...

Definition. Suppose that two words contain respectively m and n letters, where n is greater than or equal to m. Suppose that they have exactly p letters in common counted with the possible repetitions. Then the correlation between the two words is equal to p/m. For instance, the correlation between the words « Italy » and « Sicily » is 3/5 (one has m=5, n=6 and p=3). The one between the words « Aix » and « Paris » is 2/3 (m=3, n=5, p=2). In any case the correlation remains a purely formally defined quantity. When the resemblance between two words is discussed one takes into account also the fact whether the first letters (eventually the first vowels) are the same and/or whether the letters in common are in the same order. Then comes the delicate question about spelling and pronunciation. This might raise the question whether the letters « s » and « ç » should be distinguished or not. But let's illustrate first the notions of correlation and resemblance by some examples. The resemblance between the names of (Aimé-Joseph) Darnand, head of the French Militia during the German occupation in World War II, and of the admiral (Jean L...

Description Details
The book recalls previously developed approaches toward history based on correlation of words, astrological aspects and periodicity defined by the Chinese horoscope and the Lunar Nodes. They are illustrated by new examples. Astonishing correlations are found among the astral signs of the French presidents, the German chancellors and the generals of the Russian Civil War (1918-1922). The strange form of some states such as Mali, Somalia, India and others is associated to inter-ethnic conflicts taking place in these countries. The astral themes of certain historical events and of their participants are also analyzed (such as the revolutions of 1830 and 1848, the Berlin Congress, the putsch of 1991 in Moscow). Astrological, historical and geographical coincidences are found between the Arab revolutions of 2011 on the one side and the revolutions of 1848, the independence movements in the Spanish colonies, the social movements of 1968 and World War II on the other. The book is addressed to persons interested in History and/or astrology....

In Europe, for centuries, fish and other seafood (relatively rare in inland areas), have become the traditional meat “substitute”. Now here in Louisiana, it is possible to “substitute” fish and seafood for meat virtually every day. Combine this with the variety of cooking styles and techniques we have learned from our Indian and African neighbors, as well as our own - not inconsiderable - French culinary heritage, it is hardly a sacrifice for us to consume these delicious meals as a method of honoring our religious convictions and practices. All of this being said, is is not the place of this lowly kitchen friar to question the wisdom of Holy Mother Church. ...

Description Details
The vibrations of one's name are part of his/her personality and are very important in the case of a political figure. The same applies to names of towns and states. Repeated planetary influences (including the 60 years period of the Chinese horoscope and the 18.5 years revolution period of the Lunar Nodes whose definition is recalled) stimulate periodical repetition of historical events. In the books many examples of such repetitions are given. The resemblances between names of generals having participated in the World Wars and the ones between names of enclaves and cities that have been granted a special status are analyzed. In terms of astrology we consider the aspects (conjunctions, oppositions, trines, squares), the favourable period of 30 days that follows one's anniversary and the unfavourable one of 50 days that precedes it and their roles for the success or failure in the context of history. The examples are taken mainly from modern history. The book is addressed to people interested in history and/or astrology....

During the First Battle of the Marne (1914) the danger was real that Paris could be captured by the German army. The situation demanded a good concordance on behalf of the combined Franco-British staff so that the attack should be repulsed and the front stabilized. The names of the commanders give us a key to at least part of the answer to the question why the allied forces succeeded to defend the French capital. Here's the list of their names: Joseph Joffre; Franchet d'Espèray; Michel Maunory; Ferdinand Foch; Joseph Gallieni; Ferdinand de Langle. Sir John French; The presence of two “Joseph” and two “Ferdinand” is to be noticed at once. It seems that destiny had chosen persons that are placed under the influence of the same vibrations to have to accomplish the same task at a crucial moment. However it should be said at once that the relationship between the two Josephs was the one of conflicts. Thus to be in good concordance (by the vibrations of ones' names) to serve the homeland does not mean necessarily to be in good relationship with one another. The first name “John” has a correlation of ¾ with “Joseph” and the...

Description Details
Most countries and peoples of Europe and Asia are grouped in the spheres of direct geopolitical influence of Russia, Germany, Serbia, Iraq and China. Repetition of relationship (defined by ethnic and religious proximity) between countries from these spheres are observed. Thus there are two Russian (German, Serbian, Chinese) speaking countries - Russia and Belarus (Germany and Austria, Serbia and Montenegro, China and Taiwan). The Iberian and Balkan Peninsulas exhibit similar political geography and history. Important events (e.g. World Wars) occur in couples. In American and Russian history the number 12 is crucial for its understanding (6 couples of most important wars in the former and 12 communist and post-communist rulers in the latter, the events of post-communism repeating the ones of communism). If a (post)-communist Russian leader has the same name as a former Russian tsar or prince, then a repetition of events takes place - the names Boris (Godunov) and Mikhail (Romanov) are connected with the Time of Troubles, Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin mark the perestroika, its modern version. The book is addressed to those inter...

It is natural to consider the following countries as belonging or having once belonged to the zone of direct geopolitical influence of Germany: Austria, Hungary, Poland, Lithuania, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, The Netherlands and Denmark. The reasons (except in most of the cases to be direct neighbours) are the following ones: - some of them (namely, Austria, Hungary, parts of Poland, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia and Slovenia) have belonged to the Austro- Hungarian Empire, where German was the official language; - others (France, Belgium, Denmark, Lithuania and Italy) have annexed after World War I territories peopled at least in part by ethnic Germans; these were the German territories respectively Alsace and Lorraine for France, the cantons Eupen and Malmedy for Belgium (today they constitute its German speaking linguistic zone), Northern Schleswig for Denmark, the port Memel (Klaipeda) for Lithuania; Italy has annexed the German speaking Southern Tyrol belonging up to then to Austria-Hungary; today this is one of the five Italian regions...

《反腐無戰線》是一部精彩萬分的懸疑諜戰網路文學，故事之所以精彩，除了人物塑造較為成功之外，關鍵在於本書的時代背景：1950年6月，朝鮮戰爭爆發，美國出兵朝鮮，杜魯門下令第七艦隊進駐臺灣海峽。 故事就是在這一歷史關鍵轉捩點鋪展開來的，局勢對當時的國民黨非常不利，五月舟山、海南相繼淪陷，若戰事無法繼續扭轉，臺灣就岌岌可危了。山雨欲來風滿樓，此刻的臺灣島內民眾要求反腐消除積弊的聲浪此起彼伏，蔣總裁為了挽回民心，同年下令槍斃了陳儀，把228事件的歷史罪責都歸咎於陳儀一人。 為了挽救瀕臨滅亡的國民黨政權，蔣建豐結合當年自己在上海打老虎時期的失敗教訓，重新組建起了一支鐵血救國會，目的是希望鐵血救國會能夠在香港反腐緝私事務中發揮積極作用，找到國民黨內部大老虎們在香港走私洗錢的確鑿證據，自己也好借此機會在島內開展整頓黨務工作，從而肅清黨內的腐敗分子和內奸，淨化黨員隊伍。唯有如此，臺灣島內新的幣值改革才有成功的一線生機。 為了推行新的幣值改革，鐵血救國會不惜遠赴香港搜集情報，然而一場看不見的血雨腥風正在等待著他們，在朝鮮戰爭疑雲密佈下，各路人馬在香港這座彈丸之地粉墨登場，展開了一場你死我活的殊死較量。 故事當中的主人公們又會在香港演繹一段怎樣的傳奇？謝穆瀾又是如何起死回生？面對反腐和幣制改革，梁複生接下去又該何去何從？......留下懸念，期待讀者閱讀。...

On preservation of the Western rights, freedoms and quality of life in 21st century and beyond

Excerpt Details
Systemic approach to life of the highly cultured people provides them with higher level of happiness simply because their lives are better organized, risks are covered, reserves are maintained, dangers avoided, contacts established and so on so forth. Culture is not something that comes only with DNA, but genetic pre-disposition towards culture exists without doubt. Otherwise there would be no examples of people raising themselves above the scum they were born in and reaching high levels of society. Understanding of the elements of high culture, its systemic approach to organizing one’s life, can be practiced by virtually everybody. One just needs to want to elevate themselves and work towards that goal, which may involve getting better training and education, moving to a different neighborhood, getting a different job, spending time on more important things rather than on leisure, quitting drinking and smoking, refusing drugs, taking care of health, concentrating on the upbringing of the children and helping them in their adult life, babysitting grand-children, watching over quality of food supply and keeping the family ...
