It is the desire of all humans to live long on earth and fulfil their purpose for existence. Many have desired to live up to 80, 90, 100 and some even wish to live longer. While this desire to live long is a legitimate one, it often happens that people die when they least wished or expected. Historically, women live longer than men and this trend may continue for centuries and perhaps longer. Even with the sizable risk conferred by childbirth, women lived longer than men in 1900, and it appears that women have out survived men at least since the 1500s, when the first reliable mortality data were kept. Sweden was the first country to collect data on death rates nationally; in that country's earliest records, between 1751 and 1790, the average life expectancy at birth was 36.6 years for women and 33.7 years for men. Death rates in less developed countries, whose citizens have limited access to cars, guns and maternal care, also provide a measure of mortality before modernity. At present, the only countries in which male life expectancy exceeds that for females are those with long-standing sexual discrimination - including Bangladesh, India and Pakistan - where social pressures and practices such as female infanticide and bride-burning result in unique "losses" of females. The fact that women live longer than men does not necessarily mean that they enjoy better health than men. It could be that women live with their diseases, while men die from them. Indeed, there is a difference between the sexes in disease patterns, with women having more chronic non-fatal conditions - such as arthritis, osteoporosis and autoimmune disorders - and men having more fatal conditions, such as heart disease and cancer.

The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of the crime novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes. Originally serialised in The Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902, it is set largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin. Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson investigate the case. This was the first appearance of Holmes since his apparent death in "The Final Problem", and the success of The Hound of the Baskervilles led to the character's eventual revival. In 2003, the book was listed as number 128 of 200 on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's "best-loved novel." In 1999, it was listed as the top Holmes novel, with a perfect rating from Sherlockian scholars of 100.

Do you have complete nutrition? The answer is probably no. Most people don't get their daily allowance of minerals, vitamins, and amino acids. The truth is that it's okay to have a bad day, a day that doesn't fulfill all of your daily needs. Chances are, if you're careful about your health, you'll make up for your deficits later in the week. The problem comes when the nutrition deficits are ongoing. For example, if you never get enough vitamin B, you're going to start experiencing some significant health problems. Yet if on a weekly basis you do get enough vitamin B, then your system will balance out. It's important to know that many nutrients, not all, are stored in your body for a duration. And your body does make some vitamins, like vitamin D. So complete nutrition doesn't have to mean that you get 100% of every nutrient every day. What it does mean is that you do give your body the nutrients that it needs, and that is readily accomplished with a healthy diet. You don't have to spend money on supplements.

Sons and Lovers is a 1913 novel by the English writer D. H. Lawrence, originally published by B.W. Huebsch Publishers. The Modern Library placed it ninth on their list of the 100 best novels of the 20th century. While the novel initially received a lukewarm critical reception, along with allegations of obscenity, it is today regarded as a masterpiece by many critics and is often regarded as Lawrence's finest achievement. The refined daughter of a "good old burgher family," Gertrude Coppard meets a rough-hewn miner, Walter Morel, at a Christmas dance and falls into a whirlwind romance characterised by physical passion. But soon after her marriage to Walter, she realises the difficulties of living off his meagre salary in a rented house. The couple fight and drift apart and Walter retreats to the pub after work each day. Gradually, Mrs. Morel's affections shift to her sons beginning with the oldest, William. As a boy, William is so attached to his mother that he doesn't enjoy the fair without her. As he grows older, he defends her against his father's occasional violence. Eventually, he leaves their Nottinghamshire home for a job in London, where he begins to rise up into the middle class. He is engaged, but he detests the girl's superficiality. He dies and Mrs. Morel is heartbroken, but when Paul catches pneumonia she rediscovers her love for her second son. Both repulsed by and drawn to his mother, Paul is afraid to leave her but wants to go out on his own, and needs to experience love. Gradually, he falls into a relationship with Miriam, a farmer's daughter who attends his church. The two take long walks and have intellectual conversations about books but Paul resists, in part because his mother disapproves. At Miriam's family's farm, Paul meets Clara Dawes, a young woman with, apparently, feminist sympathies who has separated from her husband, Baxter.

Der kleine Landadelige Alonso Quijano lebt „irgendwo“ in der Mancha in Spanien. Fast alle Ritterromane gelesen will er selbst ein „fahrender Ritter“ werden, um sich todesmutig in Abenteuer und Gefahren zu stürzen, das Unrecht zu bekämpfen und ewigen Ruhm an seinen Namen zu heften. Er nennt sich Don Quijote, seinen alten dürren Gaul Rosinante. Ein heimlich von ihm verehrtes Bauernmädchen, das er seit seiner Jugend nicht mehr gesehen hat, erwählt er sich – wie seine literarischen Ritter-Vorbilder – zur Gebieterin seines Herzens und nennt sie wohlklingend Dulcinea von Toboso. Er putzt die rostzerfressene Rüstung seiner Ahnen, baut eine einfache Haube mit Pappe und Metall zum Helm und zieht aus ins Abenteuer. Diese Parodie auf Ritterromane begründet in der Literaturgeschichte die neue Gattung Roman und ist eines der wichtigsten Bücher der Weltliteratur: 2002 wählten 100 bekannte Schriftsteller, organisiert vom Osloer Nobelinstitut, Don Quijote zum „besten Buch der Welt".
