Ali Ferguson

Beschreibung

A textile artist's guide to creating exquisite, intimate and nostalgic work inspired by the home.
Ali Ferguson's work takes inspiration from domestic life and the objects that surround and comfort us in our homes. Vintage fabric and hand-embroidered text are beautifully paired to create evocative pieces that are imbued with the magic of everyday existence. In this wonderful book Ali reveals the secrets of her work and shares her ingenious methods for finding inspiration at home to create stunning work that uses embroidery, quilting, collage and found objects.
Chapter One explains how to create 'threads of thought' that stem from the tiniest details within the rooms of your home, resulting in extensive mind maps you can use to inspire your finished work. Chapter Two shows how to translate these ideas into stitch and select the perfect materials for the mood you want to convey in your work. The rest of the chapters take you through the different rooms in a typical home, from kitchen to bedroom, giving a wealth of ideas for finding inspiration from each of these spaces in your own household, accessing memories, stories and emotions to help you create intensely personal and meaningful textile art pieces.
Beautifully illustrated with the author's own work and that of other leading textile artists who draw inspiration from home life, this book revels in cloth and the joy that it brings to every textile artist. It is the ideal book for any artist or embroiderer who wants to explore new sources of inspiration on their very doorstep.

Emotional Intelligence for the...

SHERIF KHALED

In the chaos of an aircraft fire, one factor decides everything: the commander’s mind. 
 Not the size of the flames. 
 Not the number of trucks. 
 Not even the speed of response. 
It’s the emotional intelligence of the leader standing at the center of the storm. 
This course reveals the hidden psychology behind elite airport fire commanders—the calm voice that freezes panic, the sharp eye that detects fear before it explodes, the mental balance that keeps a team stable when the runway turns into a battlefield of heat, smoke, and collapsing time. 
You will learn how to control your tone under pressure, read the micro-signals of your crew, convert fear into coordinated action, and build a team mindset that functions as one unit even in zero-visibility and high-casualty scenarios. 
This is not just leadership. 
 This is emotional intelligence under fire— 
 the weapon that separates ordinary officers from true commanders.

From Bicycle to Bentley - A...

Stephen Little

Stephen takes the reader from his earliest school days when it became clear he was academically bright, especially in math, attending prep school, winning a scholarship to major public school Uppingham where he won math prizes and, aged 16, passed 3 S (scholarship) levels. By then he had decided to be a bookie. He attended an interview for Cambridge University only because it was on his bicycle route to Newmarket races!
 

 
Unable to work in any gambling job until 18, he set about visiting racecourses by bicycle, staying in youth hotels (17½p per night), eventually cycling to all racecourses in the UK, including several now-defunct courses.
 

 
At 18 he found employment with Beresford & Smith in London; aged 24 he got his first bookie’s license in 1971 and by the age of 40 in 1986 was betting big on the rails at major meetings such as the Grand National, Cheltenham, Derby, Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood, often laying bets to lose £100,000 or more - when money was worth nearly twice today’s value - one of the few bookies who happily stood "toe to toe and traded blow for blow" with big hitters like JP McManus, Barney Curley, Michael Tabor and Harry Findlay.
 

 
In 1998 changes in pitch administration prompted early retirement, and he sold his pitches, worked for a few unsatisfactory years for Corals and then departed the big time - with a Bentley as well as a bicycle, a house in Georgian Bath and a satisfactory bank balance.

X-Men - The Ultimate Trivia And...

Trivia Hub

X-MEN
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
The X-Men are a superhero team created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, first appearing in 1963. They are mutants, humans born with superhuman abilities, facing prejudice and fighting against various enemies. The team was initially canceled due to low sales but revived in 1975. The Claremont era (1975-1991) saw the team become Marvel's top-selling comic. Key storylines include the "Dark Phoenix Saga" and "Days of Future Past". The X-Men have had many team rosters, and faced several schisms, deaths, and resurrections. In 2019, the Krakoan Age saw mutants form their own nation on the island of Krakoa, until the fall of Krakoa led to the X-Men scattering across the planet.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
The X-Men were created by writer/editor Stan Lee and artist/co-plotter Jack Kirby, and they first appeared in The X-Men #1 in September 1963. The team was initially canceled in 1970 due to low sales but became one of Marvel's most successful franchises after its 1975 revival.
Mutants in the Marvel Universe are humans born with a genetic trait called the X-gene, which grants them natural superhuman abilities that generally manifest during puberty. Due to their differences, mutants face prejudice and discrimination, which is a common theme in many X-Men stories.
Stan Lee decided that the new group of heroes would be "mutants" because he had grown weary of creating separate origins for each superhero. Marvel publisher Martin Goodman initially turned down the name "The Mutants" because he thought readers wouldn't know what a "mutant" was.
