Who is it going to be? Bill Campbell is both of those friends.Īn early lesson I learned in my career was that whenever a large organization attempts to do anything, it always comes down to a single person who can delay the entire project. The second kind of friend is somebody you can call when things go horribly wrong-when your life is on the line and you only have one phone call. You need someone who will actually be more excited for you than he would be if it had happened to him. Not a fake excitement veiling envy, but a real excitement. The first kind is one you can call when something good happens, and you need someone who will be excited for you. No matter who you are, you need two kinds of friends in your life. People offer many complex reasons for why Bill rates so highly. Following conventional wisdom and relying on shortcuts can be worse than knowing nothing at all. There are no shortcuts to knowledge, especially knowledge gained from personal experience. Until you make the effort to get to know someone or something, you don’t know anything. ![]()

Urgent and vital, feeld composes a new and highly inventive lyrical narrative of what it means to live inside a marked body. “gendre is not the tran organe / gendre is yes a hemorage.” “did u kno not a monthe goes bye / a tran i kno doesnt dye.” The world of feeld is our own, but off-kilter, distinctly queer―making visible what was formerly and forcefully hidden: trauma, liberation, strength, and joy. In Charles’s electrifying transliteration of English―Chaucerian in affect, but revolutionary in effect―what is old is made new again. “i care so much abot the whord i cant reed.” In feeld, Charles stakes her claim on the language available to speak about trans experience, reckoning with the narratives that have come before by reclaiming the language of the past. Selected by Fady Joudah as a winner of the 2017 National Poetry Series, Jos Charles’s revolutionary second collection of poetry, feeld, is a lyrical unraveling of the circuitry of gender and speech, defiantly making space for bodies that have been historically denied their own vocabulary.

Think King Joffrey and less England’s warrior prince. Another oddity is Jones’s portrayal of the prince himself. While I accept it's a way of bringing the story together, I would also question whether or not simple yeoman archers and footsoldiers would have come into close proximity with the knights of the realm, let alone formed any sort of bond with them. Unfortunately, cocaine in the middle ages only came in the form of theriac treacle-exceedingly expensive and pretty disgusting stuff!-with the powdered form not being introduced to Europe for another hundred years. That said, there are numerous mentions of "white powder" which is unquestionably cocaine. Particularly impressive was the fact that this was Jones’s first attempt at writing historical fiction. Dan Jones could write a book about paint drying and I would read it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Fortunately for Freddy, there are new friends, and the insight of advice columnists like Anna Vice to help her through being a teenager in love.

In fact, poverty levels continue to escalate and growth rates have steadily declined-and millions continue to suffer. In Dead Aid, Dambisa Moyo describes the state of postwar development policy in Africa today and unflinchingly confronts one of the greatest myths of our time: that billions of dollars in aid sent from wealthy countries to developing African nations has helped to reduce poverty and increase growth. In fact, across the continent, the recipients of this aid are not better off as a result of it, but worse-much worse. Has this assistance improved the lives of Africans? No. In the past fifty years, more than $1 trillion in development-related aid has been transferred from rich countries to Africa.
