We will write this law on stellas. There will be a system of police to maintain order and to ensure that trouble does not occur. There will also be a system of judges (and a legal system of sorts) that will not only answer people's questions in terms of the laws but also decide change and legal minutia during cultural changes that warrant it. The judges too will decide conflicts between people according to the minutia of the law.
The classical Mayan system of priests and shamans will be retained. There will be the same titles Ah K'uhun, Ah K'uhul Hu'n, and Ah K'uhuun (namely "he of the holy books," "keeper of the paper/headbands," and "he who worships signifying the various tasks) (Maya culture; Miller & Taube, 1993).
Good sirs, we will establish an elevated educational system based on the highest wisdom of the time and run according to wisdom of child development as articulated by our sages. This school system ( primary, higher, and colleges) will transmit the law and culture as well as train our people so that they become heroic warriors, erudite politicians, instructors of the next generation, and wise judges.
Incidentally, we will promote feasts for people and big ceremonies to the gods of rain and other important deities to protect us and stay with us throughout the hard times.
Since, starting as a nation, we want only the favor of the gods in our nation-building and survival, we will, therefore, consult with the wise men regarding whether or no we should also include the gods of the Toltec in our service. These include deities such as coyote, eagles, jaguar on carvings.
There will be regular Chac mool sacrifice to enhance our belief in deities. Competitions and festivals will also be organized so that the religion becomes primary to the ruling of the state (the state becomes a theocracy) and the people learn to respect their gods.
What about...
These will enable us not only to learn form our neighbors but also to establish friendly connections with them.
We will keep the four traditional levels of society, namely four main levels: the nobility (Almehenob'), the priesthood (Ah'kinob'), the common people (Ah'chembal uinieol'), and the slaves (Pencat'ob'). The k'uhul ahaw ("divine lord") or sovereign will be myself; namely all will be subservient to me. I will be helped by my Army. (Sharer & Traxler, 2006, pp. 31-33)
Time is late and my head is weary. In conclusion, good sirs, it is time for us to break from our entrapment in this cycle. According to specific sources, Itza people are also moving toward Northern coast. Before others take over the salt beds and related long-distance trade networks, we are forced to move quickly and grasp the chance we have here. I care for the neighboring tzuks and therefore strongly suggest this radical change that I believe will ultimately serve us all better. All ye who care, and with me.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Your future Mayan sovereign.

R.I.P. RELIGIOUS RIGHT and other Super Tuesday Take-Aways . . . Whereas the "religious right" had seemed to be a dominant force in American politics, particularly powerful in the Republican Party, the influence of this loud but still minority group seems to have waned. This article goes so far as to suggest that candidate Donald Trump's raging popularity in the Bible Belt signals a nail in the coffin for the
Asian Economic Crisis In the summer of 1997, an economic and currency crisis rocked the Asian markets. One by one, southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Korea and Japan saw their economies crash in the wake of heavy foreign investment. An economic boom had made the region an attractive investment opportunity for much of the 1990s. By 1997, however, domestic production and development had stalled, and foreign investors grew
Furthermore the rhetoric here is rich in symbolism. Dr. King draws parallels between the response of violence to his peaceful protests and other great personalities whose commitment to justice, truth, and love also had unintended and unfortunate consequences. Personalities like Socrates and Jesus, for example, could not be expected to deny their truth for fear of public reaction. Dr. King makes this argument even stronger by also drawing the parallel
Other pertained to the consumer's preferred method of going to the Starbucks, such as whether the consumer usually patronized the same Starbucks; frequency of patronization; preference for taking out beverages vs. eating in; and the usual size of the consumer's beverage. Finally, more subjective responses were requested, such as whether the store's customer service was good and the prices were fair. Classification of findings Findings were classified on a nominal basis,
The fact that the country's huge social instability and unemployment rate is somewhat alleviated by counterfeiting also encourages the police to ignore the problem. Pfizer adopted a 4-prod approach to their problem - and this is actually a recommendation for all companies to adopt as means of problem-resolution: the problem was delineated Investigation was conducted into the extent of the problem Plans were brainstorming A specific plan was adopted and implements. Their first step was
