Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brentfield Academy for young ladies was one of those old English Schools built around 1910 to cater for the education of the daughters of the aristocracy and the rich who recognised that girls were potentially just as clever as boys. Their mothers would have supported the aims, if not the means, of the suffragette movement, and their fathers would have gone along with their wives both for a quiet life and because, frankly, they were totally apathetic about the whole question of sexual equality. It was quite close to a leading boys' school which was only two miles away in South West London. In the following Spring, by which time the current sixth formers would have left and be at university, the school was going to be celebrating its centenary. Like many leading schools it was divided into four houses both for academic and sporting purposes. Each was named after a British female monarch; Mary, Elizabeth, Anne and Victoria. The head girl that year was Helena Clarke who therefore was not allowed to be a house captain as well. As it happened the four house captains and the head girl had all been very close friends for several years although in different houses. But the most important thing they had in common was that all of them were earmarked for places at Oxford or Cambridge. Helena was a maths genius and also very good at music. She was hoping for Cambridge. Jennifer Tremayne, captain of Mary House, also wanted to get to Cambridge to read neuroscience but at a different college to Helena. The other three house captains were hoping for Oxford colleges, Sylvia Johnson of Elizabeth to read modern languages, Gillian Watson of Anne to read classics, and Anne McFarland, the oldest one, of Victoria to read geology. All were also senior prefects in charge of school discipline but none of them bothered to enforce the purely venial school rules too seriously. More serious misdemeanours were discussed when they had an official meeting each Monday lunchtime. That week in mid-October they had two serious problems to deal with. One concerned a girl in Jennifer's house and one in Gillian's. "Helena," Jennifer began, "I really don't know what to do about Pauline A'Court, the captain of the under16s hockey team this year. No fewer than four very embarrassed and scared members of the team have spoken to me in the past week. In all four cases Pauline seems to be making lesbian overtures to them and in one case rather unpleasantly." The head girl looked very worried. "Well if there is a blessing attached to any of this, Jen, it's that it's happening in your house. You are by far the best suited among us to deal with it. Of the five of us you've got the most sensible and level head on your shoulders and you're certainly the most emotionally stable to deal with it. If it had been Sylve's house she would just have threatened Pauline with a night out with Justin!" All five laughed out loud at this but even Sylvia was concerned at the serious side. "Jen, as I see it you've only got one option. Ask Pauline if it's true and if it is tell her to pack it up. Give her a week, but don't tell her who has spoken to you. If during this time any of the four girls report another incident, or when you talk to them after a week they infer that it's still going on, then you'll have to take it to Miss Tarrant. This sort of thing is what the headmistress is here to handle and in our centenary year it is the one sort of scandal which we cannot have in the school. Shouldn't you have a word with her too Hel?" The head girl looked doubtful. "No I think Jen should deal with it first and then if things haven't improved we'll go to the head together. Is that all right with you Jen?" Jennifer looked resigned but agreed. She asked Gillian and Anne what they would do and as everyone thought the same they left it there. The problem in Gillian's house was more straightforward but probably more difficult for girls of 17 and 18 to deal with. A fourteen

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Terry Chandler. I am a disabled American that retired from the federal government after twenty-six years of service. I have been so blessed to have traveled the world. Every moment was like a story from the people I met. Now I would like to share with you a moment in time that still lives in my personal journey. My inspiration for writing this story was based on an employee that I met while I was working in South Korea. My work leader recommend that the employee be fired. In the days to come I watched the employee closely, and, from what I could see, he was my best worker. I needed to find out what the real problem was, so I decided to have a meeting with him to hear his side of the story. He started to tell me about his life. He said his mother gave birth to him after being raped in a camp where she was keep to satisfy Japanese soldiers. He said the Koreans hated him because they know who he is and how he came into this world. His face was a reminder of what once was. This grown man just cried like a child that was still in prison; but this time it was a prison of hate and his crime was living.

Book excerpt: #1 New York Times bestseller From the author of Steve Jobs and other bestselling biographies, this is the astonishingly intimate story of the most fascinating and controversial innovator of our era—a rule-breaking visionary who helped to lead the world into the era of electric vehicles, private space exploration, and artificial intelligence. Oh, and took over Twitter. When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist. His father’s impact on his psyche would linger. He developed into a tough yet vulnerable man-child, prone to abrupt Jekyll-and-Hyde mood swings, with an exceedingly high tolerance for risk, a craving for drama, an epic sense of mission, and a maniacal intensity that was callous and at times destructive. At the beginning of 2022—after a year marked by SpaceX launching thirty-one rockets into orbit, Tesla selling a million cars, and him becoming the richest man on earth—Musk spoke ruefully about his compulsion to stir up dramas. “I need to shift my mindset away from being in crisis mode, which it has been for about fourteen years now, or arguably most of my life,” he said. It was a wistful comment, not a New Year’s resolution. Even as he said it, he was secretly buying up shares of Twitter, the world’s ultimate playground. Over the years, whenever he was in a dark place, his mind went back to being bullied on the playground. Now he had the chance to own the playground. For two years, Isaacson shadowed Musk, attended his meetings, walked his factories with him, and spent hours interviewing him, his family, friends, coworkers, and adversaries. The result is the revealing inside story, filled with amazing tales of triumphs and turmoil, that addresses the question: are the demons that drive Musk also what it takes to drive innovation and progress?
