H. G. Wells

Summary

Is a 1906 science fiction novel by H. G. Wells in which humanity is "exalted" when a comet causes "the nitrogen of the air, the old azote," to "change out of itself" and become "a respirable gas, differing indeed from oxygen, but helping and sustaining its action, a bath of strength and healing for nerve and brain." The result: "The great Change has come for evermore, happiness and beauty are our atmosphere, there is peace on earth and good will to all men."

Malcolm James McCormick began making music at a young age and by fifteen was already releasing mixtapes. One of the first true viral superstars, his early records earned him a rabid legion of die-hard fans—as well as a few noteworthy detractors.

SPEAKING OUT! - My life under...

audioparadies, Chantal Frei

Chantal Frei (pseudonym) who grew up in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, was only six years old when Satanists decided to make her into a Mother of Darkness. At that time, she had already survived massive torture – which was the reason why the cult considered her to be strong, smart, and intelligent enough to be trained by the Illuminati.
Today, Chantal Frei is able to speak out about her experiences as a survivor of satanic ritual abuse, spiritual abuse, and mind control in order to help others by providing insight and knowledge. The information provided in this book is by far not complete as the author can only share what she herself has experienced and understood. She states: "More and more I realize, that with my book, I can only scratch the surface of this topic." Nonetheless, her personal account is unique and important. Chantal Frei is the first survivor with a German-speaking background who has been this deep in the inner circle of the Illuminati and has mustered enough courage to speak out about it. During cruel rituals, she met with heads of state, nobles, and celebrities. Therefore, she was taken to well-known places – such as the White House and a famous Spanish basilica – but also got into secret military facilities and a remote castle in Belgium. These places and people, some of which are also mentioned by other survivors, illustrate the terrifying extent of an abysmally dark phenomenon known as ritual abuse.
Chantal Frei wants to help bring light into this darkness.

Cricket Ka Commonwealth - Vishwa...

Ramachandra Guha, Ketan Mishra,...

When Ramachandra Guha began following the game in the early 1960s, India was utterly marginal to the world of cricket: the country still hadn't won a Test match overseas; by the time he joined the Board of Control for Cricket in India, fifty years later, India had become world cricket's sole superpower. 
Cricket ka Commonwealth, the Hindi translation of the popular and critically acclaimed The Commonwealth of Cricket, is a first-person account of this astonishing transformation. The book traces the entire arc of cricket in India, across all levels at which the game is played: school, college, club, state, country. It presents vivid portraits of local heroes, provincial icons, and international stars. 
Cast as a work of literature, Cricket ka Commonwealth is keenly informed by the author's scholarly training, the stories and sketches narrated against a wider canvas of social and historical change. The book blends memoir, anecdote, reportage and political critique, providing a rich, insightful and rivetingly readable account of this greatest of games as played in the country that has most energetically made this sport its own.

The Ransom Of Red Chief

O. Henry

"The Ransom of Red Chief" is a short story by O. Henry first published in the July 6, 1907 issue of The Saturday Evening Post. It follows two men who kidnap, and demand a ransom for, a wealthy Alabamian's son. Eventually, the men are driven crazy by the boy's spoiled and hyperactive behavior, and they pay the boy's father to take him back.
The story and its main idea have become a part of popular culture, with many children's television programs depicting versions of the story as one of their episodes. It has also been often used as a classic example of two ultimate comic ironies – a supposed "hostage" actually liking his abductors and enjoying being captured, and his captors getting their just deserts by having the tables turned on them, and being compelled to pay to be rid of him.
