Tom Brown's childhood was anything but innocent. His mother was a runaway at sixteen who had met a 'super hot man in the coolest costume ever' early one Halloween morning with whom she spent the entire day with and came away with Tom as a 'party gift'. But instead of aborting him like she had her previous pregnancies, she carried Tom to full term -- only to discover that the man she had that fling with wasn't exactly human. Her son is born with orange eyes and a pair of bat-like wings on his back, and is able, from a young age, to fly and see things of the unseen world. But instead of freaking out like the doctors and nurses, Tom's mom embraces his weirdness and vows to protect him. The problem is the very traits that had drawn an imp to her are also the very characteristics that make it so Helene Brown is unable to stay out of trouble. When Tom is five years old, almost six, she is arrested for a rather petty crime, which puts her in prison for a year while her son is forced to live with the very family she had run away from... and run away for good reason. This story is about Tom, not the mom, and how he gets through it until his mother is out again. [more]

Welcome to one of the many adventures of our superheroine "Rodeo Girl". A world where anarchy and lawlessness is abundant, our protagonist finds ways to keep crime fighting more than just fighting crime but indulging in passions and desires which is more interesting and satisfying than saving the world. This is a story of Rodeo Girl finding her true passion and combining work and pleasure to an extent where it blurs the line between the two. Rodeo Girl a.k.a Clairel decides to explore the possibility of training a human horse named Max as her sidekick. What she discovers is more than a delight for her. Excerpt from one of the chapters:"Max!!! Is this really what you think you will be able to do?""Yes, Clairel, I will be able to, if not let me at least try. We can check right away."Clairel thought for a moment and said “Alright, before giving you a shot of being my ride, I would like to see whether you can really carry me." Max’s face lit up “I am ready to carry you. Tell me what position would be comfortable""Of course, shoulder ride!! As a human horse needs to be two legged for speed and endurance", she quipped. Max asked Clairel to keep her feet hip-width apart and he bowed from behind her and scooped her up on his shoulders. Clairel found it unsettling at first but quickly got used to the height as Max was almost 6 feet tall. She was of average height and average built herself and once on his shoulders, she tucked her feet back just below his armpits and adjusted her weight evenly on his shoulders. "Are you comfortable up there" inquired Max."I think so. Let's move" she said. Max started walking around the yard with small steps since he didn't wanted Clairel to feel any qualms about this ride. Meanwhile she was growing in confidence on his shoulders feeling him under her she was content the way Max can actually carry her around."Let's see what happens when you run around a little bit." she said. Max started galloping and holding her knees for better support he started running a little but was feeling dizzy at the same time but he didn't wanted Clairel to feel he is weak, so he started putting all his efforts now. After about 15 mins of nonstop running with Clairel on his shoulders, he was going out of breath. Clairel could feel that Max was really tired under her but she continued for another 5 mins before asking "Are you alright Max?" [more]

On 28 June 1914 The Archduke Francis Ferdinand, Heir-Presumptive To The Hapsburg Throne, Was Shot In The Streets Of Serajevo, The Capital Of The Austrian Province Of Bosnia. Redeemed By The Russo-Turkish War Of 1876-7 From Ottoman Rule, Bosnia Had By The Congress Of Berlin In 1878 Been Entrusted To Austrian Administration; But In 1908, Fearing Lest A Turkey Rejuvenated By The Young Turk Revolution Should Seek To Revive Its Claims On Bosnia, The Austrian Government Annexed On Its Own Authority A Province Confided To Its Care By A European Mandate. This Arbitrary Act Was Only Challenged On Paper At The Time; But The Striking Success Of Serbia In The Balkan Wars Of 1912-13 Brought Out The Dangers And Defects Of Austrian Policy. For The Serbs Were Kin To The Great Majority Of The Bosnian People And To Millions Of Other South Slavs Who Were Subject To The Austrian Crown And Discontented With Its Repressive Government; And The Growing Prestige Of Serbia Bred Hopes And Feelings Of Slav Nationality On Both Sides Of The Hapsburg Frontier. The Would-Be And The Real Assassins Of The Archduke, While Technically Austrian Subjects, Were Slavs By Birth, And The Murder Brought To A Head The Antagonism Between A Race Becoming Conscious Of Its Possibilities And A Government Determined To Repress Them. The Crime Gave A Moral Advantage To The Oppressor, But The Guilt Has Yet To Be Apportioned, And Instigation May Have Come From Secret Sources Within The Hapsburg Empire; For The Archduke Was Hated By Dominant Cliques On Account Of His Alleged Pro-Slav Sympathies And His Suspected Intention Of Admitting His Future Slav Subjects To A Share In Political Power.

Charles Vincent Emerson Starrett (/ˈstɛərˌət/;[1][2] October 26, 1886 – January 5, 1974), known as Vincent Starrett, was an American writer and newspaperman. Charles Vincent Emerson Starrett was born above his grandfather's bookshop in Toronto. His father moved the family to Chicago in 1889 where Starrett attended John Marshall High School. Starrett landed a job as a cub reporter with the Chicago Inter-Ocean in 1905. When that paper folded, two years later, he began working for the Chicago Daily News as a crime reporter, a feature writer and finally a war correspondent in Mexico from 1914 to 1915. Starrett turned to writing mystery and supernatural fiction for the pulp magazines during the 1920s and 1930s. In 1920, he wrote a Sherlock Holmes pastiche entitled The Adventure of the Unique 'Hamlet'; Starrett on at least one occasion said that the press-run was 100 copies, but on others he said that it was 200 copies. The plan was to have half the press-run with the imprint of bookseller Walter M. Hill, and half with Starrett's imprint; the printer misunderstood the instructions and only 10 have Starrett's imprint. Randall Stock has done a census of surviving copies.[3] He located 9 bound and one unbound copies with the Starrett imprint, and 39 copies (with a possible addition of 4 whose location is unknown) with the Hill imprint. Stock believes that the press run was 100 plus 10, and the number of surviving copies seems to confirm that number. This story involved the detective with a missing 1604 edition of Shakespeare's play, which included an inscription by the playwright.[4] Starrett's most famous work, The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, was published in 1933. He retired from The Chicago Tribune in 1967 where he had written a book column, "Books Alive," for 25 years. Starrett was one of the founders of The Hounds of the Baskerville (sic), a Chicago chapter of the Baker Street Irregulars. [more]

The article is organized by presidential terms and then divided into scandals of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches. Members of both parties are listed under the term of the president in office at the time the scandal took place. Scandals; There is no hard and fast rule defining scandals. Scandal is defined as "loss of or damage to reputation caused by actual or apparent violation of morality or propriety." In politics scandal should be kept separate from 'controversy,' (which implies two differing points of view) and 'unpopularity.' Many decisions are controversial, many decisions are unpopular—that alone does not make them scandals. A good rule of thumb is whether or not an action is, or appears to be, illegal. Since everyone, particularly a politician, is expected to be a law abiding citizen, breaking the law is, by definition, a scandal. Misunderstandings, breaches of ethics, unproven crimes or cover-ups may or may not result in scandals depending on who is bringing the charges, the amount of publicity garnered, and the seriousness of the crime, if any. The finding of a court with jurisdiction is the sole method used to determine a violation of law. There is no hard line to distinguish major scandals from minor scandals, but rather scandals tend to be defined by the public itself and the media's desire to feed that particular frenzy. Thus, small but salacious scandals, such as Larry Craig's (Republican from Idaho) arrest for lewd behavior can eclipse more serious scandals such as suspending the Writ of Habeas Corpus in time of war.

Daniel Defoe (/ˌdænjəl dɨˈfoʊ/; c. 1660 – 24 April 1731),[1] born Daniel Foe, was an English trader, writer, journalist, pamphleteer and spy, now most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is notable for being one of the earliest proponents of the novel, as he helped to popularise the form in Britain and with others such as Samuel Richardson, is among the founders of the English novel. A prolific and versatile writer, he wrote more than five hundred books, pamphlets and journals on various topics (including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology and the supernatural). He was also a pioneer of economic journalism.[2]Daniel Foe (his original name) was probably born in Fore Street, in the parish of St. Giles Cripplegate, London.[3] Defoe later added the aristocratic-sounding "De" to his name and on occasion claimed descent from the family of De Beau Faux. His birthdate and birthplace are uncertain and sources offer dates from 1659–1662, with 1660 considered the most likely. His father, James Foe, was a prosperous tallow chandler and a member of the Worshipful Company of Butchers. In Defoe's early life, he experienced some of the most unusual occurrences in English history: in 1665, 70,000 were killed by the Great Plague of London and next year, the Great Fire of London left standing only Defoe's and two other houses in his neighbourhood.[4] In 1667, when he was probably about seven, a Dutch fleet sailed up the Medway via the River Thames and attacked the town of Chatham in the raid on the Medway. His mother Annie had died by the time he was about ten.[5][6] [more]
