Frankie Unlike his peers at St Puritan’s High School, fifteen year-old Frankie was addicted to observing things carefully so he could understand how they function, and why they aren’t more efficient, more rational, more… sensible. Having endured a somewhat late onset of puberty, he had recently been making up for lost time by conducting experiments and observations in the field of sex and sexuality. Recent investigation into the aesthetics and mechanics of same-sex coupling with a classmate had yielded valuable data, so now he was ready to expand his research by evaluating the practicalities and satisfaction levels of copulation with the opposite-sex. The Internet is an excellent provider of vicarious information, but true knowledge can only be obtained through first hand experience. Unfortunately, not being sportive, tall, conventionally handsome or socially competent, he had been unable to find a willing experimental female; the general consensus being that the new boy was skinny, strange, too ready with his stupid opinions, and knew too much about useless things and nothing about what counted. Fortunately, there was Flor...

As part of my continuing personal endeavour to create very readable digital versions of old books, I had placed my attention on books by and about Oscar Wilde. I came across this book, Oscar Wilde and Myself written by Lord Alfred Douglas. I thought of taking up this book for the conversion into a readable digital book. The steps involved copying the text from certain scanned versions of the original book and recreating them as text in MS Word. It had its travails in that text had to be reformatted and the line-by-line (not sentence by sentence) arrangement of the copied text had to be made into connected sentences, from broken lines. I am used to this kind of work, and I do know as to how to go about this. As the work proceeded, invariably I started reading the text with a most cursory interest. I had not expected much in this book other than a lot of claims and refutations that can be expected considering the background to the book. However, suddenly it occurred to me that there is more to this book than might be detected by a native-Englishman. The insights are not what have been provided by Alfred Douglas, but rathe...

THE manuscript of this book was completed by me and handed over to the publishers as long ago as last July. Certain persons thereupon deemed it advisable to apply to the Court for an injunction restraining me from including in my book any of the letters from Oscar Wilde which were in my possession, and they further applied for an injunction restraining me from quoting from the unpublished portion of the "De Profundis" manuscript which is now sealed up at the British Museum and which was used against me in open Court as part of the justification in the defence to a libel action brought by me, in April 1913. The application for these injunctions was made in the Vacation Court before Mr. Justice Astbury, the most recent recruit to the Judicial Bench. It was immediately granted, and though I was advised by counsel to appeal against the decision, I thought it better to accept it, at any rate for the moment. Consequently, all the copious extracts I was intending to publish from the “De Profundis," which extracts had already been reproduced in all the newspapers at the hearing of the action of Douglas v. Ransome and The Times Book Club...

Chapter 24 - - THE BEST LAID PLANS As Harris squeezed himself out of the docking chamber back into the main link passage of Light Star, he founded it rather crowded. Raftos and Venscottie were still standing there, confronted by a rather agitated Packet. "Am I glad you three are back,” started Packet. "It's Mick – I think he's on the verge of burnout. Since you went he has read all those papers you gave him and others he's asked me to get him. He's taking in sheets of data at a glance and writing lots of stuff – I have no idea what it's about. All the time, he's also been talking to this chap of yours, Venscottie, and seems to have learnt Arolloan as he’s doing it. It's not normal, he's only been drinking that sugary drink and eating fudge bars.” "OK calm down or you'll be doing the same,” said Raftos. "Where is Mick now?” "He's in the control room; he wanted the table to spread out all the papers," said Packet "Harris, you had better get down to him and see what the situation is,” said Raftos. "Will do, but you find Kimlon and tell him to bring two bowls of stew and some of that tea to the control room. T...

Excerpt from the Introduction: A clear understanding of the differences between 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation nuclear weapons is needed and provided along with an explanation of DEW, which actually stands for directed energy nuclear weapons of which we have full knowledge and understanding of, and build and use them regularly across the globe. DEW is a common term in the nuclear weapons industry and does not refer to yet-to-be-developed laser or scaler weapons. DEW commonly refers to nuclear weapons designed specifically to direct their energy to a highly confined soliton — the space assumed by quantum or quasiparticles propagated as a traveling non-dissipative wave that is neither preceded nor followed by another such disturbance — often times X rays and other nuclear effects. The rust that appeared immediately after 9/11, even on nearby new construction, is another important clue. Numerous prominent physicists from Latvia, Germany, France, Lebanon, the USA and many other countries have contributed to this report and their combined work leads to inescapable conclusions. Enough to make the conclusions unassailable and concl...

In order to attain progress in spirituality, seva (service rendered to others without any selfish motive) is a great instrument in Dadashri’s mission of world salvation. There are two paths to attain the absolute state (purnahuti). One is to increase the awakened awareness of separation and to start Purusharth (real progress as the Self), and the other is to do seva of mahatmas and with that Gnan becomes practical, leading to completion. Dada says, “When the mind, speech and body are used for seva, when the body is used for other people, when illusory attachment for the body reduces, that is when the prakruti will exhaust. Until you do the Gnani’s seva through your body, mind, money, the Gnan will not come into effect. Seva is precisely for the purpose of bringing kashays to an end. When clashes arise, the pride is injured, when things don’t happen according to your will, then clashes arise and there may also be accusations. With Seva, Gnan will become practical. It is our ardent prayer that everyone who joins in Dada’s mission of world salvation attains a positive result, and similarly, that all mahatmas continue to do seva with th...

Hinduism had been undergoing reformation through all centuries. Whenever it reached a stage where further reformation was unacceptable to those higher in the hierarchy, dissatisfied people formed new religions and flocked to these. Buddhism was one such example. 20th century and 21st century Hinduists tend to believe that all reformation needed in this religion, and possible in this religion, has already happened and nothing more is needed or possible. But it is never all dross will be removed from their minds and this religious body. Look how bad their convictions are on if all the needed reformation has been over! The Hinduists throughout India interested in capturing ruling power of the country kill people who eat red meat, in the name of Rama. They know Rama hunted in the forests. What do they think Rama hunted and ate? Piggish priests, who will normally love to see luscious and lusty women come to temples with nothing on if possible, forbade women coming to temples wearing the all-covering and popular dress, Churidar; they want to see at least their shoulders, neck and abdomen. Tell us; is all the needed reformation in Hinduism...

First the temples were walled-in, so that the priests grabbing the breasts of women could not be seen from the outside. Then there came electric lights, replacing the mellow oil lamps and taking away the ambience of softness in the temple atmosphere, bringing in ruthless harshness instead, reflecting the perpetrators’ minds well. The chants and prayers from human lips were the next to go, to be replaced with coarse recorded instrumentalized music from cassette players, c. d. players and pen drives roaring through multi loud speakers, so that the time spent on praying also could be liberated for more breast-grabbing and if possible copulation, or the frightened horrible shrieks from girls being raped inside temples could not be heard outside as it happened in Jammu in 2018. What other benefits did walls and electric lights and loud speakers bring to Hindu temples and Hindu religion? Did worship become more ardent and pious and people, priests, temple and religion cleaner? Soon temples became no more soothing to human minds and people lost interest and confidence in this kind of temples and religion. If someone says electric lights, c...

Over the years, Matthew 5:16 has been a daily challenge to me. Jesus said, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven". I have tried to shine my light in my walk and in my ministry for many years. Although I have failed the Lord at times, the Lord has never failed me. I have sought to shine the light of Christ in our home, in the churches I served, and everywhere I went. While I was in the traveling ministry, I tried to shine my light from east to west and from north to south, in the United States as well as in other countries. Through radio, I found the greatest privilege of all to shine my light. God has blessed this marvelous opportunity in a remarkable way. I give Him all the praise for the strength and help He gave all along the journey as I tried to shine the light and do His will....

Mr. Frank Graham, father of Billy Graham and one of our faithful Elders at Calvary, a wonderful man of God, had been ill for some time. After about a year he went to be with the Lord. Billy asked me to conduct the funeral service. In addition, he asked if I would meet him at the viewing about 9 o'clock in the evening after everyone had gone, as he desired to rededicate his life by his father's casket because his dad had meant so much to him. I met with Billy and several others. His family and members of the team gathered around the casket and we all knelt in prayer. Billy was flat on the floor, face downward. I called on the Lord, giving thanks for this great man of God who had meant so much to all of us. I committed Billy's life afresh to the Lord and dedicated my own life and the lives of the other men who were with us in the room. It was a solemn experience. If Billy Graham felt such a burden to rededicate his life to the Lord, used as he was, how necessary it is that many in our churches do the same....

With Sam hunched over the steering wheel, and Hannah gasping about his driving, the air-car whizzed through a maze of giant tunnels on a mission of mercy. Hours too late... The car dodged whole families drifting and screaming in zero gravity. The air was littered with flotsam: leg-tied chickens, blankets, cord wood, buckets slowly trailing water, rocks tied for anchors and lost, a squealing pig, a treetop. Hannah watched a wailing child spin past, then a swooping bird-man snatched it up. Here and there fights broke out between lizard-folk and griffins. .. “I hate to think all this suffering is our doing!” Hannah shouted over the wind... “It’s not,” Sam shouted back. “We’re trying to stall catastrophe, remember? Still, no problem’s so bad that a little help won’t make it worse. Duck!” ...

Jesus Christ (Prophet Isa) & Virgin Mary (Maryam) In Islam Religion Bilingual Edition English & Spanish The Islamic view of Jesus lies between two extremes. The Jews, who rejected Jesus as a prophet, called him an imposter, while the Christians, on the other hand, considered him to be the son of God and worship him as such. Islam considers Jesus to be one of the greatest and most forbearing of prophets, in addition to Noah, Abraham, Moses and Muhammad, peace be upon them. Jesus is also considered to be the Messiah as well. This is in conformity with the Islamic view of the Oneness of God, the Oneness of Divine guidance, and the complementary role of the subsequent mission of Gods messengers. The message of God to humanity, which is to worship God and God alone and to live according to His instruction, was revealed to Adam (peace be upon him), who passed it on to his children. All the subsequent revelations to Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and, finally, Muhammad are in conformity with that message. Thus, Islam views any contradictions among revealed religions as man-made elements introduced into these religions. The position of ...

From this modest beginning have resulted :-( 1) investigation of various classes which inhabit the city of Madras; ( 2) periodical tours to various parts of the Madras Presidency, with a view to the study of the more important tribes and classes; (3) the publication of Bulletins, wherein the results of my work are embodied; (4) the establishment of an anthropological laboratory ; (5) a collection of photographs of Native types ; (6) a series of lantern slides for lecture purposes ; (7) a collection of phonograph records of tribal songs and music....
