He’d rented a little house in one of the many suburbs that were mostly empty these days. Teaching seventh grade at his hometown middle school wasn't Sam's dream job, but when his dad had been injured on the job and needed some help around the house, Sam had little choice but to go home. Besides, the sooner he finished, the sooner the summer would be his. His students were expecting their grades on Monday, and no one was more demanding than whiny thirteen-year-old middle schoolers. The end of spring semester meant Sam had a stack of final exams to grade before the weekend was over. Unfortunately, in the real world, he didn't have the luxury of doing nothing. When the wind battered against his windows and thunder and lightning shook the very foundation of the little house he called home, Sam wanted nothing more than to curl up in front of the fire with something mindless on television to drown out the noise. Thunderstorms freaked the ever loving hell out of Sam, and he was man enough to admit it.

Copyright of the collection © 2020 by Macy Blakeįormatted by Leslie Copeland, LesCourt Author Services But it’s hard, now, not to read the “Wyfe to Crookback” episode as being prophetic. Getting the past right-or wrong-has always been a theme in Mantel’s fiction, much of which features characters who, like Emma and Ginny, struggle to come to terms with histories they’d rather not talk about. It’s clearly a work of historical fiction, the archly period title, “Wyfe to Crookback,” traced in “florid gold script.” (The “wyfe” in question is Anne Neville, unhappy queen to the legendarily hunchbacked Richard III.) Although the woman, Emma, is a physician, she evidently knows a thing or two about late-Plantagenet domestic architecture as she examines the cover art, she notes that the manor house behind the heroine (“a svelte woman, with a small crown perched upon her wimple”) has “anachronistic chimney stacks.” The vulgar font, the clueless art work, even the “fat” paperback’s size, with its intimation of a future at the beach: all this is meant to indict the middlebrow taste of Emma’s fellow-passenger, Ginny, a posh neighbor who happens to be the wyfe of Emma’s lover. In the opening pages of Hilary Mantel’s 1994 novel, “ A Change of Climate,” a woman in a railway carriage stares disapprovingly at the cover of the cheesy paperback her travelling companion is reading. Get Them to See That Your Success Equals Their Success However, you can motivate your staff by aligning your goals with their individual goals, which brings us to: Individuals tend to be motivated by different things, there is no single formula that works for everyone. The task of motivating workers is made more difficult by the fact that no one thing is likely to motivate all your workers. Leadership is an active role and not an easy one. One of GoDaddy Founder Bob Parsons’ sixteen rules for success is that anything not managed will deteriorate. So whose responsibility is it if your workers are not motivated? Yours, of course. Employee motivation affects every area of your organization from productivity to your ability to recruit. Leadership consists of technical knowledge but it also consists of being able to motivate your employees to give their all. Anyone who has coached in the NFL can tell you that the key to success is as much about motivating players on the field as it is about good play calling. I'd give at least a star to the Aiden/Erin romance. I think I'd have no problem delivering a baby after reading one or two of these books. Yet again melodramatic and more detailed than the love scenes. We got more births - yes, births, plural. We were once again reminded any woman over thirty-five is a waste of space, and is too old and beyond redemption. We got lectured to about caring for the disabled - again. When an author starts destroying their characters in order to find new plotlines you know it's time for a series to end. Jack telling Mel he missed having the opportunity to have sex with her during her `time of the month' destroyed any romance left between them.Īnd the only occasionally likeable Mel was completely massacred here too, with all of her usual self-absorption and pushiness shining through and culminating in a dreadful storyline for the character. Once she'd killed Jack's character, she killed Jack and Mel's relationship. And there's no better way to kill the romance of a romantic hero than write him into a conversation about vaginal dryness and what new lubricants are on the market. We got another lesson in the details of menopause - but this time it happened when Jack had a conversation about it. The region has a disproportionate percentage of residents who make a living from working between women's legs. In a medical textbook, and in a Robyn Carr `romance'. There are two places you're guaranteed to hear about vaginal dryness. "There is the mammal way and there is the bird way." But the bird way is much more than a unique pattern of brain wiring, and lately, scientists have taken a new look at bird behaviors they have, for years, dismissed as anomalies or mysteries - What they are finding is upending the traditional view of how birds conduct their lives, how they communicate, forage, court, breed, survive.

White House Diary By Jimmy Carter (Farrar Straus and Giroux 570 pages 30) The presidential diary has grown into a genre - and, lately, a lucrative one. 'In fact, he wrote his books from that diary.' 'He has volumes of notes that he brought back with him to Plains,' she said. 'And he kept a tape recorder on his desk so he could talk into it. We were trying to get to Camp David to rest from the trip, but Fritz called and said that Senator Humphrey was on the verge of death.
