![]() ![]() But read Carrie and David Grant's soul-baring account of parenting before you judge them A son violent enough that security guards were needed at home. Three children who no longer identify as girls. I'm even told that Holly has told her bosses of her wish - and ITV agree with her desires. And his replacement? Holly wants her new best friend, the vivacious and curvaceous Alison Hammond (left), to take his spot. Indeed, so rapid has the incineration of Schofield's affable on-screen persona been, that I'm told most of his bosses want him out and to keep the popular Ms Willoughby. ![]() Yet some insiders suspected she wasn't unwell but was instead distraught that her co-presenter had not warned her about the trial in advance. ![]() Two days later, Holly (with Phil right) claimed to have come down with shingles, which meant she would not be at Phil's side as he made a difficult return to This Morning after a three-week break while his younger brother Timothy (pictured with Phil inset) was on trial for child sex offences. Viewers, it seemed, were rapidly falling out of love with the TV stalwart. Four weeks ago, I revealed in the Mail on Sunday that tensions on This Morning had become so unbearable that Phillip Schofield's future was being openly discussed behind the scenes. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While faithful to the spirit of the Bible, Boorstin reads between the lines of the ancient narrative to bring immediacy, relevance and even greater meaning to the life of the young Israelite who would become the most beloved character in the Old Testament. What happens when Nara's fate collides with that of David, who is destined to face Goliath in combat, will forever transform how you experience this pivotal moment in the Bible.Boorstin reimagines David's dangerous path from shepherd to charismatic leader, interweaving his life not only with Nara's, but with key Biblical characters including King Saul, and Saul's daughter Michal, who will later become David's wife. They betroth her to Goliath, to give him warrior sons. She lives in isolation with her father, until she is discovered by the Philistine priests. No man will take a wife who towers head and shoulders above him. Nara is a young Philistine woman who has given up hope of ever finding a husband. ![]() ![]() Laetitia explores socio-political dynamics that affect the way Lebanon and its culture are shaped through an anthropological perspective.

Elias Nafaa is an artist living and working in Lebanon. ![]() ![]() ![]() Many things in the story are, to use a term later popularised by Sigmund Freud, ‘ uncanny’: simultaneously familiar yet unfamiliar another key element of the uncanny is the secret which ‘out to have remained secret and hidden but has come to light’.Īn interpretation which has more potential, then, is the idea that the ‘house of Usher’ is a symbol of the mind, and it is this analysis which has probably found the most favour with critics. ![]() Indeed, there are no overtly supernatural elements in ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’: just a general sense of something not being quite right. How does he play around with them? First, Poe renders them ambiguous rather than clear-cut. Poe condenses these into a short story and plays around with them, locating new psychological depths within these features. We have a mysterious secret afflicting the house and eating away at its owner, the Gothic ‘castle’ (here, refigured as a mansion), premature burial (about which Poe wrote a whole other story), the mad owner of the house, and numerous other trappings of the Gothic novel. ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ is probably Edgar Allan Poe’s most famous story, and in many ways it is a quintessential Gothic horror story. ![]() ![]() I’m the kind of learner that likes to see the entire landscape of a subject laid lushly before me, and while I like a good story to go with it, I like a good systems breakdown even better. Happily, The Personal MBA is the much-needed atlas of the business world that I needed, and it’s helping me understand what I’m up against with greater clarity. ![]() To give myself some structure, I took a pass at outlining agency processes and drawing maps of my overarching goals, but I must admit that I was still feeling a little lost. For the bulk of 2010, I’ve just been getting used to the idea of being a business entity. ![]() My review copy of Josh Kaufman’s The Personal MBA arrived at just the right time. ![]() Those idyllic times are long past, and today I’m very interested in making money, because I’d like to have the freedom to do what I want in the greater context of achieving personal excellence. ![]() It’s perhaps not that surprising since I’m a preacher’s kid, and I grew up in an environment where discussion about enriching one’s self was not a topic of discussion. While I’ve had the notion that I could somehow parlay my interest in making/writing into some kind of sustainable lifestyle, it’s only recently that I’ve even started to think about this in business terms. ![]() ![]() The description contains what has been called one of the best known passages in English philosophy, which describes the natural state mankind would be in, were it not for political community: ![]() This, Hobbes argues, would lead to a "war of all against all" (bellum omnium contra omnes). In that state, each person would have a right, or license, to everything in the world. Leviathan was written during the English Civil War much of the book is occupied with demonstrating the necessity of a strong central authority to avoid the evil of discord and civil war.īeginning from a mechanistic understanding of human beings and the passions, Hobbes postulates what life would be like without government, a condition which he calls the state of nature. In Leviathan, Hobbes set out his doctrine of the foundation of states and legitimate governments – originating social contract theory. ![]() ![]() ![]() The result was a pitching masterpiece from both hill toppers. The righthander also took the mound in the Fall Classic for the first time, lining up against Don Drysdale in front of a Game 3 crowd of 55,912 at Dodger Stadium. Bouton received a World Series ring for his efforts, nonetheless, after Ralph Terry twirled a complete game, 1-0 shutout to seal the championship for the Yankees.īouton came back with a record of 21-7 and a 2.53 ERA in the 1963 regular season. Originally slated to play Game 7 of the World Series that year against the San Francisco Giants, the rookie lost that assignment when the matchup was pushed back due to rain.

More than a few baseball players can say they were the author of their own demise.īut in Jim Bouton’s case, it was literally true. ![]() ![]() ![]() All this makes her a problematic study for a biographer determined to deliver her as a personality. Certain of her correspondence, particularly a series of letters to her friend Maryat Lee withheld from publication until 1994, exposes a disturbing facet of her identity as a mid-century white Southerner: a taste for racial jokes and a visceral distaste for the very blackness of black people which seems irreparably out of joint with her identity as a believing Roman Catholic and a writer of theology-driven fiction. ![]() Admittedly, any portrait of Flannery O∬onnor is apt to leave an aftertaste: As her letters and drawings reveal, she indulged no sweet view of herself. Goochs portrait of this major American writer, with its entertaining wealth of ∿lannery anecdotes from people who knew her in various capacities”family, neighbors, literary associates, spiritual advisors, admirers”depicts the kind of character for whom the phrase an interesting person in her own right was coined.Īnd yet its a fragmented portrait, with a sour aftertaste.
