Author's Note. - Welcome to this 'home made' webpage which accompanies the novel Lanang which with its various texts and links can be viewed more so as an extra additional 'curio' rather than as any essential reading.
- This home made webpage is not yet finished and it is not sure when it will be, so for now, it will remain a 'work in progress.'
- Below can be found a reading sample of the first main heading section 1 Gathering Clouds (there are five in all) as well as several links, files etc. that will provide further information on issues such as on palm oil. e.g. there is a long palm oil report written up by 'Mr Lanang'. (Please note, it is also unfinished).
- The author would like to note that all information that is here should be checked with more official websites that look at the issues presented. The author has attempted to be accurate with the information that has been written up but he is not an expert so it is best to go to other sources for further research. Notice though that people also have different points-of-view even amongst experts (and those who claim to be experts) so read up on what there is on any topic and then make up your own mind on what to trust and what your opinion will be, for now, on any matter you have looked up.
- It is also important over time to keep up to date with the latest information on any topic.
- All the information below is a 'work in progress' as more time and research is needed to finalise what has been started.
- Apologies for any inadequate formatting which has occurred due to technical reasons. e.g. inevitable formatting differences seem to often occur when changing from a word document to a pdf file.
- Thank you for your understanding and patience. All the best. NN.

LANANG BOOK READING SAMPLE - 1 GATHERING CLOUDS. * Approximately 25% of the whole e-book. (PDF File). The book is in five major chapter sections and this is the first one. Scroll a little below to see the PDF format which you should be able to see on screen or may have to download. All the best.
Please note the main point of this book sample is to access much more text than what is available on e-book purchasing platforms as it is only fair and reasonable that one be given access to a larger portion of the book text. Thank you for your patience and understanding. All the best.
__________________________________________________________________________________
* Please note the e-book Lanang has for now been uploaded/posted through two platforms:
DRAFT2DIGITAL (whose link serves an array of book outlets if one does not prefer to go via Amazon).
AMAZON
Thus due to various reasons there are two different ISBNS associated with this book.
(One other difference is for the former platform the book title is not in capitals due to a preference for it not to be so on many of the platforms the book is distributed to while the latter platform does not seem to have an issue with the title having a capital presentation.
A Draft2Digital universal link.
Amazon link which directs to the U.S. page while it may be of use to be directed to a link that relates to the country you are in.
One cannot guarantee as to the reliability of the links and so maybe useful to do a separate web search of the e-book Lananng by Nicholas Nicola for an accurate web pathway to it.
Check your library for the e-book LANANG.
It may interest you that it could be possible to check your local library for the e-book LANANG to borrow it rather than purchasing it. If you liked it then you may recommend to others who can also borrow it and so don't have to worry about your friends risking wasting their money. All the best.
As it is uploading books to libraries via for instance Draft2Digital takes different times with Hoopla being the longest but which serves libraries in the U.S.A, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. (At 'time of writing' still waiting for Hoopla to upload which is quite a lengthy process; yet, check anyway or inquire). However, other libraries such as in the U.K and the rest of Europe may also have a copy otherwise you may wish to make an inquiry.

Although written with the young in mind it is a book that readers of all ages can enjoy and maybe even find thought-provoking. *
*(Perhaps think of George Orwell's Animal Farm although the two books are wholly dissimilar in every way!).

Palm Oil website link.
Below is another 'home made' website by the author which offers several webpages looking at various matters relating to palm oil. (It is also a 'work in progress' while some articles also relating to the palm oil issue in various ways may simply be posted onto this webpage befitting the whole random nature of the format).

COCKATOOS. While it should also be noted that cockatoos can also learn human words. Yet, they don't seem to be as good as parrots and ravens. (I know of a suburban cockatoo that often likes to say hello and can even imitate a dog sneeze!). Apparently, cockatoos can be loosely defined as parrots but not 'true parrots' with one major difference being that cockatoos have feathers on their heads.

Canadians fight back Trump tariffs: Shoppers boycott US products on supermarket shelves. France 24 English.
https://youtu.be/otc9aQVJJvE?si=m8etmGF93ulAYS6oLanang got the idea to place palm oil items upside down when he learnt that Canadian shoppers were fighting against unreasonable U.S. tariffs by stop buying things from the United States. The above video does not show it but some Canadian shoppers had cleverly started to play U.S. items upside down on shelves to make it easier for other shoppers to see what was from the United States and to avoid buying.
