Crypto Karen brings to life this fantastic new story for children and parents alike, blending real-life concepts with fantastic superhero tales perfectly to educate and entertain the next generation!

This graphic novel leads this duo into a world where complex concepts are presented in a simple, playful manner that’s sure to pique a young one’s interest. Issue 1: The Begining Issue 2: New Kids on the Block Issue 3: New World Order While the topics may seem overwhelming at first place, each is broken down into easily understood analogies perfect for any child 7+. The helpful guide at the end of the book provides questions and creative thought exercises for you and your child to do together, encouraging curiosity and original thinking. We are in the midst of transiting to a paradigm shift, get ready before it’s too late! Author Bio Karen New is a serial technopreneur born in Singapore. She is an advocate of a minimalist lifestyle and fan of Marie Kondo. Her mantra in life is "With less and tidiness, we have room for joy", With knowledge, we have the power to change". She discovered Ethereum in 2016 and wrote the first book call "New Assets - Ride on the cryptocurrency wave!" in plain laymen language aiming to get more people to build a portfolio of assets. 3 years later, she challenged herself to create a comics series on the impact of the Blockchain technology to our life. After sharing with her 7-year-old nephew, she realised an "organic crypto generation" (OCG) is brewing. Children do not have to under learn, they absorb more readily and they also associate and think differently. For example, when she shared about what is Mining, her nephew replied: "l mine in Minecraft too". The comics are under a label Wish I Knew Comics. It includes stories of what she wishes would have learned when she is young. The first series being "2030" which talks about the impact of the blockchain technology to our life. She wrote it because she hopes that the love for parents to have happy kids will take the first step to understand this technology that is going to change the way we work and live. After reading this series, she hopes that parents will not stress children to be academically capable but to take care of their mental wellness. In the near future, many aspects of our lives are automated with Artificial intelligence and smart contracts. Decentralization may bring a more balanced and community-driven economy where we can enjoy minimum income with our daily activities. Life is beautiful and less stressful.

"The plot? Go to a psychiatrist and tell him your story and he will tell you that you possess the classic symptoms of acute paranoia or chronic paranoid schizophrenia. I was diagnosed twice for telling all or part of my tale." David predicted killer VD, back in 1976, and now with AIDS taking the headlines and his postgraduate fieldwork among British Columbia's fishermen and smugglers over with, he relocates east, from Vancouver, no longer convinced that his recent psychotic break is due to a surreptitious insertion of methamphetamine into his food or drink.

Your Sherpa: Your Parental Guide to Financial Literacy
Shameless plug for my new book.
See go.yourfinancialsherpa.com The back cover... Your Sherpa guides students and young adults as they navigate key financial decisions in their lives. With this book for parents, and audio lessons and online resources for students, the ultimate goal is to teach young adults the mindset and skills to make daily decisions to save and build wealth; starting early and compounding for decades. Initial lessons ensure young adults are in the position to save by avoiding excessive college debt and being able to get and hold a good job. Author bio Jeff Tyburski worked as an engineer, analyst, and portfolio manager for a combined 33 years. He created and led an internal school to teach new analysts and is the president of a non-profit helping aspiring entrepreneurs in Africa. The analyst in him identified the problems solved in the book. The engineer created the framework. The teacher, mentor, and parent deliver the message. |

The Mahdi, The Year of the Rat, The Coronavirus Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2)
Interesting coincidence? The coronavirus covid-19 began to spread worldwide during the 2020 Chinese New Year celebrations for the Year of the Rat. Here is an excerpt from my novel of witness UNFINISHED SURVEILLANCE, first published in June 2018.
"The Secret Mahdi, promised redeemer, ageless avenger, he liked you, David. He watched over you in Egypt, those years ago, and his messages are clear. He touched you. He understood your moles, the moles from Allah answering the believers. "Soon after your relocation to the great city Cairo, a rat in the night leaped from the banana tree and through the hole in the roof door. It snuck to your bed and chewed on your big toe! What a poet, the Secret Mahdi—he told you the future: Long ago, the rat carried the Black Plague to the unbelievers through the boot that is Italy. You see? The Mahdi, who is the divinely guided one, was telling you, ‘When the bananas are ripe, the rat will harry the infidel devils, the heathen doubters, the atheists and backsliders, as an assassin. From the banana tree of temptation to the Italian toe, the rat will sneak and spread affliction.’ It all came true! From the tree of lust came Satan biting the blasphemous on their naked feet . . . And your father patched the hole (and for you alone). And who was your father? The possession of the blessed will of the Mahdi! The door upon which no one knocked was repaired." |

^ I personally think he's pretty 'ignorable.'
No ebook reader (as shown). Bad link. (If he cared, he would have looked over his post and edited it.) He's a drive-by, in my opinion, and will more than likely never contribute to Mobileread. |

According to a book published in 1799 ( Travels in Upper and Lower Egypt, Volume 2 -- https://books.google.com.sg/books?id=7TkPAAAAYAAJ&dq ), bananas ripened during the winter months (December through February) in Cairo, Egypt. "The ripening fruit of the banana-tree adorns the gardens of Rofetta with its yellow hue during the three winter months. . . . A few may be seen likewise at Cairo, but none further south."
I think those bananas were ready to eat during March and April. Quote:
