Citizenship in a Republic - "Man...

Theodore Roosevelt

“Citizenship in a Republic” is the title of a speech given by Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne in Paris, France, on April 23, 1910. In the speech Roosevelt discusses the attributes required of its citizens and leaders to sustain a thriving national character, not least of which are a high moral character and energetic engagement. He has harsh words for those who act purely in self-interest, who cause division, and who sit on the sidelines while others do the heavy lifting. The address is also known as “The Man in the Arena” speech owing to a notable passage that is often quoted:“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”Numerous politicians, athletes, speakers and others have turned to the passage for inspiration. Incoming freshman at the U.S. Naval Academy are required to memorize the passage. NBA champion LeBron James has the “Man in the Arena” written on his shoes.

Raided by the Roman Servant (Gay...

Archer Vale

On my knees in the dark, he makes me chant for him. He’s etching this moment into my brain. 
He says it’s a secret. He won’t tell anyone what we’re doing. 
If word ever got out, I’d be ruined. A master kneeling for his servant…there’s no greater shame. It would jeopardize my position in the Roman Senate. 
But with each passing day, I sink deeper. He’s broken something inside my mind. He’s conditioning me to crave his body. 
Each night, he makes me commit bizarre, depraved acts. I moo like a cow while he “milks” me. I drink his essence. I happily lick the dirtiest part of his body. 
Where does this end? Is there any sick command I won’t obey?

Decoded: Esaus and Jacobs -...

DVM Chibueze Victor Onwugaje

If a poll were taken inquiring if you believed eggs could be Unscrambled, You’d be in the majority with the opinion that it was a rare foolishness to even consider.
More scientific debaters would argue cooking fudges the egg proteins, breaks its chemical bonds, causing new bonds to form. On cooling the proteins cannot return to their raw configuration. Even if they did, it’d be impossible to wield cutlery in such a way as to separate the yolk from the white. The mixing & cooking are irreversible processes.
As a mad Parallel thinker I disagree.
You simply need an uncanny understanding of the components, the various players & their compositions to reverse the several severely transformative processes undergone.
For You & I, Non-Unscramblers (of eggs), not simple. Yes. But I won’t bet that it is impossible, I don’t think you should.
This compact book bears a long lost algorithm which the author has now successfully used + taught others to use to classify People into precise groups of Esaus / Jacobs.
Knowledge of #DEJS will relink you to your core Animal (none of that irresponsible, hit & miss Horoscopy stuff), solving Identity issues; from Midlife crisis to confused Sexuality, teach you to Diagnose & Troubleshoot the point where things derailed, keep distressed homes, valuable friendships & partnerships alike together etc, all towards Peak Productivity…
