  Act Like You Got Some Sense -...

  From Academy Award-winning multi-talent Jamie Foxx, a hilariously candid look at the joys and pitfalls of being the father of two daughters. Jamie Foxx has won an Academy Award and a Grammy Award, laughed with sitting presidents, and partied with the biggest names in hip-hop. But he is most proud of his role as father to two very independent young women, Corinne and Anelise. Jamie might not always know what he’s doing when it comes to raising girls—especially when they talk to him about TikTok (PlikPlok?) and don’t share his enthusiasm for flashy Rolls Royces—but he does his best to show up for them every single day. Luckily, he has a strong example to follow: his beloved late grandmother, Estelle Marie Talley.  Jamie learned everything he knows about parenting from the fierce woman who raised him: As he puts it, she’s “Madea before Tyler Perry put on the pumps and the gray wig.”   In Act Like You Got Some Sense—a title inspired by Estelle—Jamie shares up close and personal stories about the tough love and old-school values he learned growing up in the small town of Terrell, Texas; his early days trying to make it in Hollywood; the joys and challenges of achieving stardom; and how each phase of his life shaped his parenting journey. Hilarious, poignant, and always brutally honest, this is Jamie Foxx like we’ve never seen him before.

  Acropolis and the Agora The: The...

  The Acropolis, which literally means “a city on the heights,” is a citadel whose currently surviving structures were mostly built during the 5th century B.C. in honor of Athena, the patron goddess of Athens. It functioned as a sacred precinct that contained the city’s most important religious and municipal structures, many of which have remained relatively intact for over 2,000 years. The Propylaea (the gateway to the Acropolis), the Parthenon (the principal shrine to the goddess), the Erechtheion (a shrine that supposedly houses the burial grounds of mythical Athenian kings), and the Temple of Athena Nike all survive to this day, and for these reasons, the Acropolis is perhaps the definitive and most eloquent expression of classical architecture, if not of the classical form itself. The Acropolis, which literally means “a city on the heights,” is a citadel whose currently surviving structures were mostly built during the 5th century B.C. in honor of Athena, the patron goddess of Athens.  
  	The center of political and commercial interaction in the Ancient Greek polis was the agora. The word essentially means a gathering place or an open space, and in all Greek city states, the agora was central to all aspects of daily life and commerce. As the agora developed as a civic space, particularly from the 6th century B.C. onward in Athens, the architectural splendor of the buildings associated with it became an ever more obvious demonstration of the power and glory of Athenian democracy. 	In its earliest forms, an agora in maritime cities was invariably situated near the sea, while in inland urban centers, it was usually located at the foot of the hill that normally provided the city’s ultimate defense. The agora was always the oldest part of any city and, as such, and as well as being the commercial hub of the area, also became the center of the religious and political life of the polis.

  The journey through life came to a T-junction.
  This is your invitation to pry into the diary, be the other tourist on the train, a voyeur at the accident, an eavesdropper on the argument. 
  
  Two one-track minds merge with train-wreck results.
   
  The girl Graham Field left in England is not the one who
  arrives in India. Sofia sees the trip as her swansong before motherhood,
  impatient to exchange backpack for a baby sling.
   
  So begins the journey which is the: 
   
  Indian Itinerary of Endurance
  
    A cold snap makes for a chilly reception in Delhi
    First-class aggravation in Agra, tension at the Taj Mahal
    Backtrack to the ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri, a brief respite from outstretched hands
    Non-stop to balmy Bombay and a runny bum
    Tunnel vision, reaching down a Goan sewer for the irretrievable
    Cross-country to Pondicherry, pondering decoupling
    Wrong side of the tracks in Madras
    Mind the gap year in Mahabalipuram
    Grave digging, scrotum flicking, a big bhang triggers a pointless train of
  thought in Konark
    Striking differences in Calcutta
    Teased in Darjeeling, limited Himalayan view
    Letting off steam walking into Nepal
    Curfew and confrontation, the relationship reaches the end of the line in Kathmandu
