AI Overview
Magadha Kingdom - World History Encyclopedia
No, Kapilavastu was not the capital of Magadha; it was the capital of the Shakya clan, the home of Siddhartha Gautama. The capitals of the ancient kingdom of Magadha were Rajagriha (also known as Girivraja) and later Pataliputra.
Today, Patna is like Silicon Valley.
"Kapilavastu: The capital of the Shakya people and the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha).
"Magadha's capitals:
"Rajagriha/Girivraja: The first capital of the kingdom of Magadha.
"Pataliputra: Later became the capital under the Haryanka dynasty, and is the location of modern-day Patna.

I remember reading Ananda, Devadutt and Yosadara were siblings--though Ananda was much younger than the Buddha.
If it's historical fiction,they should try and make it accurate.
Royal Stepmother Gotami brought up Prince Siddartha and was the first Bhikukni.
With all the expense of making a lavish TV series,it should have been done better.
I don't know how "Kapilavatsu" appears in Indian TV series. Siddhartha's mother was from Lumbini and his father from Magadha.

The Buddha was born into a noble family in Lumbini in 563 BCE as per historical events and 624 BCE according to Buddhist tradition. He was called Siddhartha Gautama in his childhood. His father was king Śuddhodana, leader of the Shakya clan in what was the growing state of Kosala, and his mother was queen Maya. According to Buddhist legends, the baby exhibited the marks of a great man. A prophecy indicated that, if the child stayed at home, he was destined to become a world ruler. If the child left home, however, he would become a universal spiritual leader. To make sure the boy would be a great king and world ruler, his father isolated him in his palace and he was raised by his mother's younger sister, Mahapajapati Gotami, after his mother died just seven days after childbirth.
Separated from the world, he later married Yaśodharā (Yaśodharā was the daughter of King Suppabuddha and Amita), and together they had one child: a son named Rāhula. Both Yashodhara and Rāhula later became disciples of Buddha.

Adolf Hitler committed suicide by
gunshot on April 30, 1945, in his Führerbunker in Berlin, as Soviet troops closed in on the city. His wife of one day, Eva Braun, died with him by ingesting a cyanide capsule.
Background and Final Hours
By April 1945, it was clear Germany had lost World War II in Europe. Soviet forces were bombarding Berlin, and news of Benito Mussolini's capture and public execution by Italian partisans on April 28 likely reinforced Hitler's determination to avoid falling into enemy hands.
In his final days, he:
Married Eva Braun in a small civil ceremony in the bunker shortly after midnight on April 29.
Dictated his last will and testament, blaming Jews for the war and appointing Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz as the new head of state and Joseph Goebbels as chancellor.
Ordered his dog Blondi poisoned with a cyanide capsule to test its efficacy.
The Suicide and Aftermath
On the afternoon of April 30, after a final quiet lunch, Hitler and Braun retired to his personal study. A single gunshot was heard shortly thereafter.
Key details include:
Manner of death: Historians generally agree Hitler died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the right temple, possibly after also biting into a cyanide capsule, though forensic evidence for the latter is debated.
Disposal of bodies: According to his wishes to prevent a public display like Mussolini's, their bodies were carried up to the Reich Chancellery garden by SS officers, doused in gasoline, and set on on fire as Soviet shells fell nearby.
Announcement: On the night of May 1, German radio announced that Hitler had died a "hero's death" while fighting the Bolsheviks.
Soviet reaction: Soviet forces quickly located the remains, identified through dental records confirmed by his dental assistant and technician. To sow confusion and for political reasons, Joseph Stalin's government initially spread contradictory reports that Hitler might have escaped or was being protected by the West.
Finalresting place: The recovered burnt remains were secretly buried and later exhumed and completely cremated by the KGB in 1970, with the ashes scattered into the Biederitz river to prevent the site from becoming a neo-Nazi shrine. Decades of investigation, including forensic analysis of the dental remains stored in Russian archives, have confirmed the consensus among historians that Hitler died by suicide in the bunker in 1945

The harrowing story of Bob Marley's assassination attempt
On December 3, 1976, seven armed men attacked Bob Marley at his home in Kingston, Jamaica, in a politically motivated attempt to stop him from performing at the "Smile Jamaica" concert. Marley, his wife Rita, and manager Don Taylor were shot and injured, but all survived. Two days after the attack, Marley performed as scheduled at the free concert, despite his injuries.
The attack: On the night of December 3, 1976, gunmen stormed Marley's house at 56 Hope Road. Seven men entered the home and fired shots.
The victims: Bob Marley was shot in the chest and arm, his wife Rita was shot in the head, and their manager Don Taylor was shot in the legs and torso.
Marley's response: Despite being wounded, Marley agreed to perform at the "Smile Jamaica" concert on December 5, which was organized by the prime minister to ease political tensions. He played a full 90-minute set, famously stating, "The people who are trying to make this world worse aren't taking a day off. How can I?".
Aftermath: The attack was politically motivated, intended to prevent Marley from performing at a concert that was seen as a show of support for the prime minister.
Later years: A bullet remained in Marley's arm until his death in 1981, as removing it risked damaging his fingers.

When asked by reporters about the MRI, Trump stated he had "no idea" what part of his body was scanned but insisted "It wasn't the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it".
The memo from Dr. Sean Barbabella, the physician to the President, detailed that the "advanced imaging" was performed as a preventative measure considered standard for men in his age group, to evaluate cardiovascular and abdominal health.

Which ones to buy and read--(consider your own book budget)--Alamut novels
AI Overview
The preference between James Boschert and Judith Tarr for their respective "Alamut" novels is subjective, as they offer different takes on the subject matter
.
Judith Tarr's Alamut series is a work of historical fantasy and includes elements of magic. Her novel features a half-elven prince and an immortal assassin, blending medieval history with a compelling fantasy storyline and high romance. It's recommended for readers who enjoy a mix of historical detail and speculative, fantastical elements.
James Boschert's Assassins of Alamut is a work of historical fiction. It is noted for being "incredibly researched" and focuses more heavily on historical accuracy, detail (including food and everyday life), and realistic adventure rather than magic. It is recommended for readers who prefer a more grounded, historical narrative.
Vladimir Bartol also wrote a famous, highly influential novel simply titled Alamut, which is an allegorical historical novel that became a post-9/11 bestseller and explores political manipulation of religious devotion.
Ultimately, the "better" author depends entirely on whether the reader prefers a fantasy (Tarr) or realistic historical fiction (Boschert) approach to the setting and the legend of the Assassins.
I can't read them all (I like to buy my books) but will try to read
the best one.

Omar Khayyam[a][b] (1048-1131) was a Persian poet and polymath, known for his contributions to mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, and Persian literature.[4]: 94 He was born in Nishapur, Iran and lived during the Seljuk era, around the time of the First Crusade.
As a mathematician, he is most notable for his work on the classification and solution of cubic equations, where he provided a geometric formulation based on the intersection of conics.[5] He also contributed to a deeper understanding of Euclid's parallel axiom.[6]: 284 As an astronomer, he calculated the duration of the solar year with remarkable precision and accuracy, and designed the Jalali calendar, a solar calendar with a very precise 33-year intercalation cycle[7]: 659 [c] which provided the basis for the Persian calendar that is still in use after nearly a millennium.
There is a tradition of attributing poetry to Omar Khayyam, written in the form of quatrains (rubāʿiyāt رباعیات). This poetry became widely known to the English-reading world in a translation by Edward FitzGerald (Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, 1859), which enjoyed great success in the Orientalism of the fin de siècle.

AI Overview
The primary novel associated with both the fortress of
Alamut and the legends of hashish use by the Assassins (Hashshashin) is the 1938 classic Alamut by Vladimir Bartol.
Alamut by Vladimir Bartol
This novel is a work of historical fiction that deals with the story of Hasan-i Sabbah, the real-life founder of the Nizari Ismaili state, and his mountain fortress of Alamut in 11th-century Persia.
Key aspects of the novel include:
The Legend of Paradise: The story famously incorporates the legend (popularized by Marco Polo but generally considered a myth by modern scholars) that Sabbah created a "virtual paradise" within the fortress, using beautiful women, lush gardens, wine, and hashish to convince his elite fighters (fedayi) that they could reach heaven by following his commands.
Philosophical Themes: The novel explores themes of power, religious fanaticism, and psychological manipulation, centered on the maxim "Nothing is an absolute reality; all is permitted".
Allegory: Originally published in 1938, the book was written as an allegory for Mussolini's fascist state and has since been interpreted as a commentary on modern political extremism and terrorism.
Cultural Impact: It became a cult favorite in the 1960s and 1990s, and served as one of the key inspirations for the popular Assassin's Creed video game series.
You can find out more about the book on platforms like Penguin Random House or Barnes & Noble.

Yes, both Ali Hazelwood and Colleen Hoover have literary agents, which is a standard practice for successful authors to secure book deals and manage their careers. Colleen Hoover's agent, Jane Dystel, was instrumental in her success, and Ali Hazelwood also has representation through a literary agency.
Colleen Hoover: Hoover's self-published success led to her agent, Jane Dystel, securing deals with publishers, reports the Times Colonist. Her agent's role was crucial in transitioning her from self-publishing to traditional publishing.
Ali Hazelwood: Like other professional authors, Hazelwood has a literary agent who helps her with her career, including contract negotiations and career management, as explained by Jane Friedman. Literary agents are standard for authors in traditional publishing.
This is a normal part of an author's career, especially for authors with multiple successful books, as agents help with contract negotiations, securing advances, and managing the overall business side of a writing career, notes Passionate Writer Coaching.

AI Overview
No, an author does not have to buy back rights from a mainstream publisher if they self-published the book and retain the copyright
. If the author initially sold the publishing rights to a traditional publisher, they must secure the reversion of those rights back to themselves before republishing, but this does not involve buying the rights back from themselves.
If you self-published
You already own the rights: As a self-published author, you typically retain the copyright unless you explicitly transferred it in a contract.
You can republish anytime: If you hold the copyright, you are free to get a new edition published by a mainstream publisher at any time without having to buy back rights from yourself.
Check your ISBN: The original self-publisher's ISBN is tied to their publishing platform. A new publisher will assign their own ISBN for the new edition.
If a traditional publisher released the book
You must regain the rights: You cannot publish a new version of the book with another publisher until you have officially had the rights reverted from the original publisher.
Look for a reversion clause: Check your original publishing contract for a "reversion of rights" clause. This typically allows you to regain the rights if the book goes out of print or sales fall below a certain level.
Request reversion: If you can't find a clause, you can formally request the rights be reverted, especially if the publisher is not actively selling or promoting the book.

This is what I thought and what makes sense legally--
AI Overview
When a mainstream publisher acquires a book that gained popularity as a self-published "BookTok edition," the original version typically
disappears from online retailers. The mainstream publisher then releases its own, newly packaged version.
Here is what generally happens:
Rights Reversion/Transfer: The author, who typically holds the copyright, transfers the publication and distribution rights to the new, larger publisher.
Unpublishing Old Editions: The author is usually required to "unpublish" all self-published or prior versions (e-book, paperback) before the new publisher launches their edition. The old listing on Amazon or other sites will be taken down or made unavailable for purchase.
Repackaging and Relaunch: The new publisher re-edits, redesigns, and re-covers the book, treating it as a new release to leverage their marketing power and distribution channels.
New ISBN: The new edition will have a different ISBN (International Standard Book Number), distinguishing it from the prior edition.
However, some "BookTok editions" marketed by publishers themselves are explicitly labelled as "limited print runs" with special features like stenciled edges or unique covers, and these are only available while supplies last. Once those specific limited copies are sold out, they are not typically reprinted in that exact format.
In summary, the original self-published format is generally replaced by the new publisher's version, while publisher-produced "limited editions" are designed to be temporary collector's items.

More about BookTok
AI Overview
BookTok is not a separate app
; it is a community or subsection within the main TikTok platform dedicated to book-related content. Therefore, you cannot get a "BookTok app" without accessing TikTok itself.
While you need the TikTok app or website to access the core BookTok community, you do not necessarily need to create an account to browse the content:
Accessing BookTok Content Without an Account
View via web browser: You can often view trending TikTok videos, including BookTok content, on a web browser without creating an account. You can go to the TikTok website and use the search function to look up hashtags like #BookTok or #bookrecommendations.
Search for specific content: On the TikTok app or website, use the search bar (the magnifying glass icon) and type in "BookTok" or related terms to find relevant videos. You can watch videos this way without joining, though the experience is limited compared to having a personalized "For You" page (FYP).
Alternatives to the TikTok Platform
If you want to find book recommendations and interact with a reading community entirely outside of TikTok, several other platforms and apps host vibrant book communities:
Instagram (Bookstagram): This community uses hashtags like #Bookstagram to share pictures, reviews, and reading vlogs.
YouTube (BookTube): You can find longer-form content like "reading vlogs" and detailed reviews by searching for "booktube" on YouTube. Reddit: There are numerous subreddits dedicated to specific genres and book discussions, such as r/RomanceBooks or r/books. Dedicated Book Apps: Apps like Goodreads and The StoryGraph are designed specifically for tracking your reading, writing reviews, and connecting with other readers. You can engage with these alternative communities without ever needing to use the TikTok platform. What is BookTok? How to find book recommendations on TikTok Dec 17, 2023 — What is BookTok?

Launching pad for new and self-published authors: BookTok has become a crucial platform for debut and indie authors. Many self-published authors have seen their books become overnight sensations through viral popularity on the app, leading to massive sales and a wide audience.
Securing traditional publishing deals: Viral success on BookTok can attract the attention of traditional publishers. In some cases, unpublished works that gain popularity on the platform have received publishing deals. Publishers are also actively monitoring BookTok trends to identify which types of stories are likely to be successful.
Directly promoting self-published books: Many authors use BookTok as a primary marketing tool to promote their own self-published works directly to readers. They post content that resonates with the BookTok community, which can drive sales and create a following for their books.
Examples of success:
Icebreaker by Hannah Grace and The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake both gained significant traction on BookTok, leading to increased sales and mainstream publishing deals.
Alex Aster's Lightlark is another example of an unpublished work that went viral on the app and resulted in a publishing deal.
Jacobs built a following by posting memes and teasers for their book, which led to HarperCollins UK reaching out with an offer to publish.

From Rebecca Yarros' wiki:
Fourth Wing is a new adult fantasy romance novel written by the American author Rebecca Yarros. It is the first book in the Empyrean series,[1] following the journey of Violet Sorrengail, who is forced by her mother, General Sorrengail, to join the Basgiath War College and become a dragon rider in the kingdom of Navarre. Even though she has been trained her entire life to enter the Scribe Quadrant, Violet must endure deadly quests and competitions that push her to her limits while trying to avoid being killed by one of the most powerful riders in the quadrant, Xaden Riorson.
The book was published in the United States on May 2, 2023, by Red Tower Book, an imprint of Entangled Publishing. Its viral success within TikTok's reader community, BookTok, significantly contributed to its No. 1 ranking on The New York Times bestseller list. It won The International Book of the Year 2024 at the annual TikTok Book Awards. The book sold over 2.7 million copies in its first week and has been translated into approximately 30 languages.[2]
Yarros has mentioned in interviews that the idea for Fourth Wing emerged when her publisher announced that they were going to start a romantic fantasy line, prompting her to submit five proposals. After several reviews, her publisher selected the third idea, which explored the Empyrean world.[3] The inspiration for the story stems from her fascination with dragons, her military experience with her husband, and her personal struggles.[3] Violet's physical fragility, as described in the book, was influenced by Yarros's own experience living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a genetic disorder affecting both her and her children. Yarros has expressed a desire to represent people with chronic illnesses, showcasing that they can also be heroic.[4]
How much water to drink a day--in temperate countries--
So how much fluid does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need? The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is: About 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men. About 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women.

AI results--Should I rejoin Foundry Gallery:
AI Overview
Whether you should rejoin the Foundry Gallery depends on your priorities as an artist, as its benefits include a supportive, artist-run environment, consistent exposure, and a 70% commission on sales
. It's a great option for emerging artists who want hands-on experience running a gallery and for those who want to be part of the oldest artist-run co-op in DC. However, the membership has monthly fees, a minimum two-year commitment for full membership, and requires you to attend meetings and volunteer for gallery upkeep.
Reasons to rejoin
Artist-run cooperative: The gallery is non-profit and run by its members, creating a hands-on learning and collaborative environment.
Exposure and promotion: You'll get your work promoted through social media, email lists, and a dedicated page on the gallery website.
Financial benefits: Artists keep 70% of their sales commission, and the gallery provides publicity for exhibits.
Community and networking: You'll be surrounded by local artists, and the gallery staff is friendly and willing to provide feedback.
Reasons to reconsider
Monthly fees: You'll have to pay a monthly membership fee of $165 or $200, depending on the membership type.
Commitment: Full membership requires a minimum two-year commitment and a minimum of four meetings a year.
Volunteer work: You will be required to help run the gallery and serve on committees. Before you decide Review your goals: Think about whether your artistic goals align with what the Foundry Gallery offers, such as the co-op model and the 70% commission. Consider your budget: Evaluate if the monthly fees and time commitment are feasible for you. Talk to current members: If you have friends who are current or former members, ask them about their experiences to get their perspective.
I was a member of Foundry Gallery when membership fee was $100 a month and I had a full time job--not in radio.
Those (above) are from AI/Google search just now.
I met a lot of artists for awhile and had about 2 group shows and a one person show but everyone left and I did too, in 2004. I learned how to price and hang art. You have to gallery sit and if you cannot, you have to hire someone from their list to do so. You have to vacuum floors including the stairs. It was then near Philips Collection on the 2nd floor.
Those are co-op rules; but this was the only time I got a review-with co-artist Harry Callahan,in the City Paper. It was a very positive review which compared my work--then abstracts--to Franz Kline, saying "her palette is lighter than Callahan but not more cheerful."
Callahan showed his dark sea-like abstracts painted on canvas--
At one point Callahan, who is younger,helped pull me up from floor where I was sitting.
One of his paintings had machine stitching at the bottom of the about 24 x 36" canvas.
I asked Harry, "Was the canvas you had too small?"
He said, "No, I just wanted to."
I tried painting on raw canvas/staining--like Helen Frankenthaler, but I didn't like the way it was harder to draw my brush over the surface, and it's too much trouble to prime and gesso and stretchcanvas myself.
Now I buy the slimmest 7/8" profile stretched canvas I can. It's lighter to carry around and slimmer to store.
The young couple who lived across the hallway from me, the beautiful young woman wanted to ask me to be her patient and get a massage from her--a legit massage--she wanted to learn massage at a famous Bangkok wat.
However, I don't like people touching me, and shoulder massage is painful.
Her partner was a stock broker, but he painted cartoons like Tweety Bird saying, "I just saw a Tweepublican." He used to carry home stacks of stretchers.
When he got an inheritance in Greece, he wanted to sell me his Mac--but I can't deal with 2 different systems.
I wanted to buy Tweety Bird,but he said he had sold it already.
So it goes. The life of a visual artist, a novelist, short story writer, poet, broadcast journalist, political commentator is never easy.
If you paint on paper,the custom frames can cost up to $100 each--
before 2004.
I left Foundry also because working for the Burmese Exile Gov, my travel schedule picked up.
Now I feel like painting on sewn together canvas. I think my sons took my stapler gun.
Also, my $100 sewing machine is broken.
I'm quite sure a quilting machine will be too expensive and large for me.
Before I left Foundry, an artist from Egypt and I worked out the Gallery expenses per month and saw that ordinary members were subsidizing full members.
We submitted suggestions--I don't remember what rates were decided on.
But $200 a month does not sound unreasonable if you can afford it.
About 3-6 months ago a co-op in VA expressed interest in my needlepoint art--but I did not join as my health is touch and go.
Maybe time to look at e-galleries such as Saachi Art again.
However, I don't intend to give up anything art-wise that I am doing right now.
So I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving and may The Force be with you.
