A Home Garden without any Toxic Spray
I love home gardening- it really is a passion with me. But there is an area of gardening that I find difficult to come to terms with – spraying for pests and diseases. We all know that toxic sprays damage the environment. But it damages our own gardens too. It upsets the delicate balance of nature and as a result, you find yourself having to use poisonous sprays and fertilizers more and more. Obviously this has a toxic build-up and there are side effects. Not only are poisonous sprays dangerous to human health; they make your pets suffer too. All this can spoil any gardening experience. And that is why…

The Amazing Twitter Craze – To Tweet or not to Tweet
The twitter craze is a birdlike chat cult that has spread into a worldwide feeding frenzy. It’s humungous.

Face to Face with yourself – through your Handwriting
It’s a strange phenomenon but it’s perfectly true; when you study or learn handwriting analysis you’re bound to come face to face with yourself sooner or later. At some stage, you’ll find yourself confronting the bare facts of your own personality. It’s like looking into one of those make-up mirrors where your face becomes enlarged and you can see every crease and every pore. It isn’t always a pretty sight. It takes a little time but eventually you learn to come to terms with yourself and to accept yourself with all your flaws and blemishes. Eventually, after a good deal of self-analysis, you get over that self-conscious stage and start…

Child Genius – A Passionate Poet of Sad Poems at Age 6
Last night I watched a fascinating program on TV about child geniuses. One little chap as young as two and a half had amazing mathematical ability. Other children showed their brilliance in music, chess, computer programming and so on. But the young Russian poet, Nika Turbina, stole the show with an amazingly emotional rendition of her own poetry. She didn’t look more than about 6 as she read or rather declaimed her sad poems to a rapt audience. I couldn’t understand a word as it was in Russian but she was so passionate in her presentation that I found myself quite riveted. It’s said that gazing out of a window…

Obama’s Signature Speaks Volumes about him
More about Obama’s signature! Have you noticed on TV how Barack Obama adds his signature to a document? Being left-handed, he curls his hand in a protective gesture around his signature and seems to tackle it from above. The resulting signature is quite different from the rest of his rather conservative handwriting. If you look past the flourish of the signature and concentrate on the body of the handwriting you will clearly see the difference in style and execution. The handwriting itself is fairly traditional. Contained and firm it shows quiet strength and modesty. You will notice how the small size and soberness of the writing show attention to detail,…

Barack Obama and the Sense of Destiny in his Handwriting
There was a flurry of writing and commenting about the inauguration of Barack Obama as President of the United States. I don’t want to add to all that – I just want to make a few comments about his handwriting. In view of the inauguration I have put up a sample of Obama’s handwriting at Graphic Insight. In the sample you can see how fitting and appropriate his personality is for his office. There’s a lot of quiet strength there and also modesty – the body of the writing is contained and small without any show or fanfare. However, his signature is important and grand. But it does not come…
