I was employed as a commercial airline pilot until a hereditary mental illness caused my career to come to a screeching halt in 1993. Being grounded by the Federal Aviation Administration after seeking treatment for major depression was mandatory in order to comply with strict medical standards under the Code of Federal Aviation Regulations. My official diagnosis was eventually changed to bipolar disorder, and the ensuing loss of my career was rather devastating. Battling severe depression initially and later intense bipolar mood swings were extremely heavy burdens placed upon me at a fairly young age. Many people in our society are stricken with debilitating illnesses of the mind and often face difficult uphill battles. I share my personal experiences in an attempt to illustrate that serious mental health issues can be treated successfully and ultimately conquered. Depression can strike anyone out of the blue and transform life into an extremely challenging struggle. Facing the barriers that such illnesses place in the lives of the afflicted often seem insurmountable, but can be overcome. Ascent from Darkness is a factual account of my life thus far. I trust it will serve to inspire those individuals trapped in the darkness to have enduring hope...

In chunks of Machiavellian political cunning, politician Ramon Purefoy provides musings from the pen that salvaged Purefoy's own nearly disastrous campaign. With his mentor's instructions for luring wanting voters to the politician wanting votes, Purefoy's teacher explains that nothing is ever denied citizens in exchange for their vote, and that political power can escalate tremendously after election. To guarantee nearly permanent occupancy of elected office, the savvy politician continuously provides for the people's every need, until such time as they realize he is the greatest need they have for taking care of their needs. The winner who creates this kind of dependency among citizens can find his political future assured as voters increasingly refuse other political alternatives. Offering trenchant advice on posturing for votes, Purefoy's mentor treats the reader to a shocking display of disdain for responsible democracy while maneuvering for political gain. Enabling Purefoy to emerge as the winner and unmovable incumbent of any future political contest, Purefoy's mentor now shows other political aspirants how to manipulate voter weaknesses for permanent political victory.

Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Debilitating," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Debilitating in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Debilitating when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Debilitating, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain.
