Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910),[1] better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. He wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885),[2] the latter often called "the Great American Novel."
Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which provided the setting for Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. After an apprenticeship with a printer, he worked as a typesetter and contributed articles to the newspaper of his older brother Orion Clemens. He later became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before heading west to join Orion in Nevada. He referred humorously to his singular lack of success at mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise.[3] In 1865, his humorous story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," was published, based on a story he heard at Angels Hotel in Angels Camp, California, where he had spent some time as a miner. The short story brought international attention, and was even translated into classic Greek.[4] His wit and satire, in prose and in speech, earned praise from critics and peers, and he was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty.

“Only accurate information has practical application, so it doesn't matter what you wanna believe. All that matters is why we should believe it too, and how accurate your perception can be shown to be.”― Aron Ra, Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism
“If there really was one true god, it should be a singular composite of every religion’s gods, an uber-galactic super-genius, and the ultimate entity of the entire cosmos. If a being of that magnitude ever wrote a book, then there would only be one such document; one book of God. It would be dominant everywhere in the world with no predecessors or parallels or alternatives in any language, because mere human authors couldn’t possibly compete with it. And you wouldn’t need faith to believe it, because it would be consistent with all evidence and demonstrably true, revealing profound morality and wisdom far beyond contemporary human capacity. It would invariably inspire a unity of common belief for every reader. If God wrote it, we could expect no less. But what we see instead is the very opposite of that.”― Aron Ra, Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism

Towards The Close Of The Last Century, There Lived In The Extensive
Parish Of Ashton, In The County Of ----, A Hard-Hearted, Eccentric Old
Man, Called Mark Hurdlestone, The Lord Of The Manor, The Wealthy Owner
Of Oak Hall And Its Wide Demesne, The Richest Commoner In England, The
Celebrated Miser.
Mark Hurdlestone Was The Wonder Of The Place; People Were Never Tired Of
Talking About Him--Of Describing His Strange Appearance, His Odd Ways
And Penurious Habits. He Formed A Lasting Theme Of Conversation To The
Gossips Of The Village, With Whom The Great Man At The Hall Enjoyed No
Enviable Notoriety. That Mark Hurdlestone Was An Object Of Curiosity,
Fear, And Hatred, To His Humble Dependents, Created No Feeling Of
Surprise In Those Who Were Acquainted With Him, And Had Studied The
Repulsive Features Of His Singular Character.
There Was Not A Drop Of The Milk Of Human Kindness In His Composition.
Regardless Of His Own Physical Wants, He Despised The Same Wants In
Others. Charity Sued To Him In Vain, And The Tear Of Sorrow Made No
Impression On His Stony Heart. Passion He Had Felt--Cruel, Ungovernable
Passion. Tenderness Was Foreign To His Nature--The Sweet Influences Of
The Social Virtues He Had Never Known.
Mark Hurdlestone Hated Society, And Never Mingled In Festive Scenes. To
His Neighbors He Was A Stranger; And He Had No Friends. With Power To
Command, And Wealth To Purchase Enjoyment, He Had Never Travelled A
Hundred Miles Beyond The Smoke Of His Own Chimneys; And Was As Much A
Stranger To The World And Its Usages As A Savage, Born And Brought Up In
The Wilderness. There Were Very Few Persons In His Native Place With
Whom He Had Exchanged A Friendly Greeting; And Though His Person Was As
Well Known As The Village Spire Or The Town Pump, No One Could Boast
That He Had Shaken Hands With Him. [mehr]

O. Henry
The Four Million (Annotated)

The Four Million is the second published collection of short stories by O. Henry originally released in 1906. There are twenty five stories of various lengths including several of his best known works such as "The Gift of the Magi" and "The Cop and the Anthem". The book's title refers to the then population of New York City where many of the stories are set.
Jolly, conventional, and lively tales, these, dealing, as the group-title hints, with common things and common people. The author, Mr. O. Henry, has a knack of utilizing singular coincidences, and mingles the burlesque element with true bits of life and nature in a way as surprising as it is entertaining. Coney Island, the cheap boarding-house, the East Side drug-store, the park, the young couple in the cheap flat, the Clover Leaf Social Club—all these and other phases of the life of the "four million" in New York furnish curious incidents for little stories, each with its individual point, and all pervaded with genuine fun and here and there a touch of sentiment or pathos.
Includes the following short stories: Tobin's palm -- The gift of the magi -- A cosmopolite in a café -- Between rounds -- The skylight room -- A service of love -- The coming-out of Maggie -- Man about town -- The cop and the anthem -- An adjustment of nature -- Memoirs of a yellow dog -- The love-philtre of Ikey Schoenstein -- Mammon and the archer -- Springtime à la carte -- The green door -- From the cabby's seat -- An unfinished story -- The caliph, Cupid and the clock -- Sisters of the golden circle -- The romance of a busy broker -- After twenty years -- Lost on dress parade -- By courier -- The furnished room -- The brief début of Tildy.

"HAPPY ENDING" is the story of a girl named Hope, a young runaway, roped into a life of prostitution. Narrated first by a houseboy of the brothel where they both live and work. Then later narrated by Hope herself, who has big dreams. A simple story told in the not so simple form of a 528-page experimental graphic novel by author and artist Joy Rip.
The book is divided into three parts. PART 1 is the Foreword and contains the first Dream. PART 2 contains the Chapters 1-10 of the main story. PART 3 is the Afterword and contains the final Dream. Enjoy! Come dream with us.
Though Joy Rip's stories are haunting, they are not typical ghost stories in that they do not draw on the supernatural (in the ordinary sense) for their power. Instead, the so-called natural world's unfathomable super-reality is exposed in all its natural otherness and unnatural otherworldliness. Joy Rip redefines the ghost story by exposing the unnaturalness of the natural. The unnaturalness of how we take everything about the singular phenomenon of being alive for granted. How the day-to-day rarely reveals ordinary life to be extraordinary. How amazing, how extraordinary is our natural blindness that allows us to carry on like everything is all right. These books are an effort to reverse that natural order and rediscover the hauntingly magical in the impossibly mundane. And nothing is more magical than stumbling across the unexpectedly real and important in the inexplicable unreality and unimportance that dominates the day-to-day. There is no greater treasure hunt. No greater supernatural.
"The reality of consciousness is captured best as a ghost story... An endless ghost story. Consciousness is a veil. We are all haunted by an absence of presence. Conscious reality is never fleshed out to its full depth. Everyone is a silhouette accented by shadows. Everything is unsatisfyingly fragmented, fleeting, shallow. Everything is a partial truth at best. Everyone is a great unknown. Nothing is truly substantial in our knowledge of ourselves and one another. We sleep, glide through life. Dreaming we are awake. We are ghosts." ~ Joy Rip [mehr]

I As It Witnesses Me

There are fundamental ideas of consciousness, cognition, intentionality, landscapes of information, intellect, body-mind processes, etc, which in their holism, form the basis of eligibility for your potential optimization and lasting wellness. This eBook invites you to witness your ‘I’ journeying into landscapes and dimensions of ‘Me’, for easy-simple actualization of all life-living successes.
Intellect is not needed for culturally benchmarked, repetitive-restricted success of slavish endowments. Tragically; world of probabilities, of novel and alternative utility-worth, for bliss and contentment opens up only when ‘I’ has the Will and Wherewithal to witness realities and journey ‘Me’, beyond subconscious intentionality. Intellect is eligibility. I Witnessing Me, pathways beyond-ness.
This I Witnessing Me is structurally embedded in brain states itself and its functionality, though multidimensional, is amenable to patterned understanding. This is science but has larger elements of personal artistry to actualize the optimal potentials of the landscape of I Witnessing Me. This artistry has been elaborated in ancient Oriental traditions of Yoga and Buddhist philosophies. Modern day art of Vipasana is related to this very idea. However, most of these artistries are very restrictive as they have become hugely ritualistic. It is another reality for long deliberation as how democratization of idealism emaciates its shiny verve and renders it to mediocrity of ritualistic pragmatism.
Since thousands of years, this very probability or hypothesis of I Witnessing Me has been the very basis of philosophies. The personhood, its feel about individuality, its interactions with external milieus and their experiences, the impact of such experiences on personhood et al were agenda of philosophical interests. They all emerged out of the three elements of I, Me and Milieus. Later, especially in modern and contemporary times, science took over the agenda and added its researched and experimented discoveries to the existing knowledge of humanity about the above-mentioned domain. Both philosophy as well as science has common agenda and the singular aim and purpose of all their endeavors are to understand reality better and create such knowledge, which could make life-living experiences improved and empowered for every human being.
An individual can do the same. He or she does not need to be either a philosopher or a scientist to make his or her life better. It is available for any common person, who is open to the idea of I Witnessing Me and practices the artistry involved in these processes of witnessing. It is however important to understand the science behind the artistry and purpose shaping up the artistry.
This eBook journeys you through the scientific factuality about some very crucial ideas and idealisms. It also elaborates the details of artistry involved in the idea behind I Witnessing Me. Like all my 52 eBooks; this eBook is also part of my continued and humble enterprise to share with you, what I have internalized, in a holistic way and ease of understanding, to facilitate your potential optimization. It is short and crisp. Hopefully, it shall make you feel happy as the eBook deals with very usual life-living issues, with a very novel and alternative perspective. Welcome. [mehr]

Most people think that mental health only applies to those people who have diagnosable mental disorders. The truth is ALL of us should be concerned about our mental health. It is our basis of being healthy. It is the holistic approach to health. In fact, many people adhere to the belief that mental health is the core of healthiness. Health starts and ends with mental health. It encompasses everything and it is everybody's business.
For virtually all people, mental health is often neglected until something apparently becomes wrong. Until then, we will have to wait for signs that it is vital to our existence, to our well being, to our relationships with other people, to our perceptions, to our fulfillment and even to our own happiness.
Even though we have achieved great medical advancements, there still seems to be lacks in our general knowledge on mental health. We have developed quick fixes to our physical ailments but we are left far behind with our solutions to mental illnesses. If we have anything, there still remain some loopholes and what we know is inconclusive. We haven’t developed universal treatments for psychological disorders and even assessments and diagnosis of such ailments are flawed.
In the past, the general concept for being healthy is the "absence of disease". If so, then someone who doesn’t have diagnosable heart attack but experience irrational fear on something like chicken or heights is a healthy person. In fact, no.
While blood pressure, cholesterol level, and body temperature are easy to asses these are still seen as singular components of our health. Disruptions in these mechanisms mean that a person could be physically ill. However, the health of a person is not only associated to how well his body functions but also to how well are his psychological, emotional and social dispositions. Manifestations of mental illness are much harder to asses since most symptoms occur discreetly during the developmental stages of the disorders and internal states are dependent on the subjective nature of the disorder. For example, someone who usually feels "blue" may or may not be diagnosed with depression.
We also have to take into account the social aspect of mental health. People who have sickness have more obvious manifestations that they are ill, therefore the society and immediate environment could easily identify whether or not a person is sick. For mental health, however, ignorance could lead to wrong perceptions. For example, a teenager who became drug-dependent and later committed suicide is viewed as irresponsible and desperate when in fact he may be suffering from a psychological disorder.
A simplistic definition to mental health could be "successful mental functioning". But what are the parameters of this definition? What could possibly tell us that someone is struggling through mental illness?
a) Someone who is distressed for a prolonged period without apparent, logical reason.
b) Someone who has disruptions in thinking
c) Someone who has altered behaviors and moods
d) Someone who relies on substances such as drugs, alcohol and cigarettes may have issues on their mental health
e) Someone who has impaired social functions
These are just representations of how a person with mental health may behave. However, these are not conclusive bases.
As we may yet to understand, mental health is directly correlated with physical ailment or health. Both may be one and the same but are very different in nature.
