LANANG
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
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).
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
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.

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 REPORT.
A file of a palm oil report by a 'Mr Lanang'. Please note it is a 'work in progress'. (It is hoped a basic e-book version will one day soon enough become available).

LANANG LEARNS MORE ABOUT PALM OIL.
A file similar to the palm oil report by Lanang with other information. Please note it is a 'work in progress'. (It is hoped a basic e-book version will one day soon enough become available).

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).

Lanang's Research.
Below are some of the links, articles, videos etc that Lanang has looked at on the internet.
(Please note this list will probably grow over time and may end up covering a wide variety of topics with him being very curious).________________________________________________________

Although not mentioned in the book the philosopher Democritus known for his atomic theory was also called the laughing philosopher and his good cheer may remind one of Mr. Aladdin's good humour.

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. https://cockatoo-info.com/behavior/speech-talking/

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.
