5 levels of humane-ness
5 levels of humanness that i came across recently, based on hindu philosophy
The vedas say that these are the different levels of people actually extendable to all living things
Devaaha : The highest level where the individual gives and does not expect anything in return. The term mean god [ divinity] things like the sun, trees rivers etc which give all and take nothing [ or nearly nothing]
Pitruh: The next level where the individual gives a lot more than the person takes from the environment and others. The term meaning parents is how parents are with their children, give a lot and take little in return. This also indicates why a lot of rituals in india are directed towards ancestors [ the parents]
Manushya: the balanced level of existence where giving and taking is the same, the level of normal people. the term also means man
Gandharva: The level where the individual takes much more than the give or contribute, gandharvas a pleasure seeking people who depend on others and destroy a lot more than they create or generate, a lot of organizations today are in this level
Rakshasa: the lowest level of existence where the individual only takes and does not contribute or give back. The term denotes a form of evil in indian myth depicting people who have fallen to the level where they become the personification of destruction for others wherever they go. A lot of business and enterprises and some governments and militia are in this level.

Word: Find and Replace Graphics and selections
Found this really interesting post on Officeusers.org email thanks to tricia and team for this, producing it here pretty much as original for your pleasure and reference
Have you ever wanted to insert a picture several places in your Word document, but dreaded the idea of going inserting it or copying and pasting it in every single location? If you insert it once, you can use good old Find and Replace to insert your graphic everywhere you need it in an instant.
Start by inserting your image, which could be a clip art picture, your company logo, or any old graphic you please in the first spot you want it in the document. As you go through and create the rest of your document, type a distinctive word [typically i do this by adding characters like #,@ before a code, e.g. #gopu] in each spot where you will want the image to end up.
Caveat: you must make sure this word is one you will not use anywhere else in your document, or you will end up with sentences that do not make sense and extra graphics. You might want to use a made up word or a combination of words. For example, you might type logohere to show where you want your logo.
Once you have your document all typed up, select the graphic [and whatever other selection you wish] in the one spot you did insert it manually. Next, copy it and open Find and Replace. You can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+H, click Replace in the Editing group of the Home tab in Word 2007 and 2010 or go to the Edit menu in Word 2003 and click Replace.
In the Find What field, type the word you chose to use to tell where you want your picture inserted (e.g. logohere). In the Replace With field, type ^c [this refers to the clipboard also try copying some complex stuff and attempting the same] (that little “caret” is on the number 6 key – seems to be a difficult one to remember).
Next, hit Replace All and watch in amazement as Word inserts your graphic in the spots you designated!
