27th of October - 2nd of November
Bookseller Log 3
This week compared to the last is super uneventful. With the amount of donations coming in, its far too much for our small team to manage so we had to stop donations. Although its just clothing donations causing the issue, no donations means we aren't accepting anything and that includes books.
I thought instead I'd talk about the things I don't want to sell and how being picky about the choices has made the store more money. For context before I started my work would barely make over £150 on books. I've now been there for three years and the most I've made in a week for books is £700. So yeah, I'm a pretty big deal when it comes it book selling...
Here are my nemeses: Danielle Steele, Dilly Court, Anna Jacobs, Catherine Cookson, Maeve Binchy, 50 Shades of Grey, Readers Digest, Jamie Oliver cook books, Robert Galbraith and Michael Palin.
Now I'm not saying that some of these authors write bad books - there are many different reasons as to why I wouldn't sell certain ones. Danielle Steele, Dilly Court, Anna Jacobs, Catherine Cookson and Maeve Binchy all have the same problem which is that I have too much of them in stock. They are some of the best sellers and are usually being bought by one particular kind of customer. I always want to try to have as much variety on the shelves as possible and it can be a bit deflating to see five rows of nothing but stuff that you'd only see your granny reading.
There needs to be something for everyone. Older woman buy these authors above, most of the men buy historic novels, army ones, books about boxing and trains. Adults and younger people look for modern romances, fantasy, thrillers and literature. Of course that's just me simplifying certain audiences. A young woman might be hella into trains, a man might want to read a trashy romance and an elderly woman might fancy picking up a 700 page fantasy with complicated world building.
But you learn what certain customers like and occasionally someone will surprise you.
50 Shades of Grey I feel is pretty obvious - it fucking sucks, it isn't popular anymore and we can all recommend better smutty books.
Reader's Digests may look cool and uniform but they aren't as collectable anymore, they take up a lot of space and it's something that our shop isn't supposed to sell.
Jamie Oliver cook books. Look, I just don't like the guy...but when I do put them out on the shelves they don't move for weeks so really, I'm putting them out of their misery into the World of Books boxes.
Robert Galbraith is another I feel is understandable. She is an awful woman and I refuse to sell anything under this name as the history behind the pseudonym is disgusting. But that's a topic to dive into another time.
And Michael Palin books. Nothing personal Mr Palin but no one seems to want to buy your books so they gotta go.
There's plenty more I wouldn't sell but it then mostly just comes down to how old they are and the condition. But I hope this was sort of insightful? Just a book lady spilling out her silly thoughts.

27 APRIL 2023
New Robert Galbraith book, The Running Grave Seventh Strike novel to publish this September, in the tenth anniversary year of the bestselling series by Robert Galbraith.
Tuesday 26th September sees the release of the next in the bestselling series of crime novels by Robert Galbraith. THE RUNNING GRAVE is the brand-new instalment in the highly acclaimed, internationally bestselling series featuring Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott, published in hardback, Ebook and audio editions.
THE RUNNING GRAVE will be the seventh title in a planned series of ten, the first six of which have all been Sunday Times and international bestsellers. The Strike series has been praised as ‘the work of a master storyteller’ [Daily Telegraph], ‘unputdownable’ [Daily Express] and ‘a blistering piece of crime writing’ [Sunday Times]; with Strike and Robin dubbed ‘one of crime’s most engaging duos’ [Guardian].
2023 also marks the tenth anniversary of The Cuckoo’s Calling, the first novel in the series. A year-long run of activity is planned to celebrate this milestone, including a creative consumer campaign that will revisit key elements of Strike and give readers the opportunity to share their favourite moments.
Fans will also have the opportunity to purchase a special anniversary edition of The Cuckoo’s Calling, produced with exclusive artwork, of which further details will be released later this year. As with all previous editions of The Cuckoo’s Calling, royalty proceeds of the new edition will go to ABF The Soldiers’ Charity.
‘It’s been brilliant to see the enormous success of the Robert Galbraith books over the past ten years and an honour to publish them. With over 11 million copies sold in the English language to date, the story of Strike and Robin has captured readers’ imaginations and, like so many others, I can’t wait to see what happens to them over the course of the final four books in the series.’ David Shelley, Group Chief Executive, Hachette UK
‘There are few pleasures richer than knowing a new Robert Galbraith thriller is on the way! Seven novels into the Cormoran Strike series, J.K. Rowling keeps expanding her already peerless skills in crafting drama, emotion, urgency, and capturing the infinite complexities of the human spirit—in dark and in light.’ Michael Pietsch, Chief Executive Officer, Hachette Book Group.

Südafrika 2022/23 - Tag 31
Herrschaften und Oukies!
Unser Urlaub geht zu Ende und unsere Geduld mit dem elendigen Loadshedding ebenfalls. Aktuell sollen ein Duzend Kraftwerke außer Betrieb sein. Stage 6 mit Stromabschaltungen bis zu 12 Stunden täglich ist jetzt die neue Norm - bis auf weiteres ...
Tumblr media
Heute Nacht ist dann auch in unserer Unterkunft das Backup-System in die Knie gegangen, ab 4 Uhr waren dann der Strom komplett weg. Da mussten sich die Batterien erst einmal wieder per Solar aufladen. 
Unsere Vorräte neigen sich ebenfalls dem Ende zu. Nochmal Lebensmittel einkaufen lohnt für die “paar Stunden”, die wir noch hier sind, überhaupt nicht.
Tumblr media
Da kamen wir auf die tolle Idee zum Rietvlei Coffee Shop zum Frühstück zu fahren. Der besagte Coffee Shop liegt im gleichnamigen Rietvlei Naturreservat südlich von Pretoria.
Tumblr media
Als wir los fuhren kamen wir erst einmal gar nicht aus dem Tor raus, weil das ja - richtig erkannt - elektrisch funktioniert. Da musste einer der Hausangestellten manuell zur Hilfe eilen.
Tumblr media
Um es vorweg zu nehmen, das war eine der (positiven) Überraschungen des ganzen Urlaubs. Aus unserem geplanten Besuch zum Frühstück wurde ein Ganztagesausflug.
Tumblr media
Das Naturreservat ist etwa 4.000 Hektar (40 qkm) groß und umfasst den gesamten Rietvlei Staudamm, der den Rietvlei Fluss staut. Das Rietvlei Reservat ist zwischen der Autobahn R 21 (OR Tambo Airport Highway) auf der Westseite und der R 50 ( Delmas - Bapsfontein ) im Nordosten eingeklemmt. 
Tumblr media
Etwa 400 Vogelarten nutzen das Reservat, im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes “Ein Paradies für Birder”. 
Tumblr media
Mehrere Bird Hides erleichtern die “Jagd” nach den gefiederten Gesellen.  
Tumblr media
Einige davon sind auch mit Toiletten ausgestattet:
Tumblr media
Besonders erfreuten uns die zur Familie der Webervögel gehörenden langschwänzigen Widowbirds.
Tumblr media
Nur zur Balz legen sie dieses tolle Prachtkleid an und tanzen in der Luft, um die potentiellen Gegner und natürlich die Damenwelt zu beeindrucken.
Tumblr media
Wir konnten uns gar nicht satt sehen, da wir dieses “Tanztheater” jetzt zum allerersten Mal sehen durften.
Tumblr media
Das Reservat beherbergt aber auch rund 1.600 einzelne große Säugetiere.
Tumblr media
Geparden, Blessböcke, Weißschwanzgnus, Kuhantilopen, Elandantilopen, Steppenzebras, Wasserböcke, Riedböcke, Steinböcke , Grauducker, Büffel und Flusspferde können alle im Reservat gefunden werden. 
Tumblr media
Die Geschichte des Rietvlei Reservates reicht nahezu unglaubliche 200 Jahre zurück. 
Tumblr media
Bezeugen können die Historie die uralten Eichen, die noch immer um das alte Farmhaus, dem heutigen Coffee Shop, stehen. 
Tumblr media
Heute stehen darunter, im kühlen Schatten, die Bestuhlungen für die Gäste. Hier lässt es sich auch bei großer Hitze gut aushalten. 
Tumblr media
Die Vögel sind natürlich sehr an den Speisen interessiert, so, wie dieser Drongo hier, der immer näher rückte.
Tumblr media
Im Dezember 1836 erreichten die ersten Voortrekker unter der Führung von Andries Hendrik Potgieter das Gebiet, das heute als Rietvlei bekannt ist. 
Tumblr media
Daniel Elardus Erasmus war einer der Voortrekker in dieser Gruppe und war als „Doringkloof“ Erasmus bekannt.
Tumblr media
Er heiratete 1841 und wurde im September eingetragener Eigentümer der Rietvlei-Farm. 
Tumblr media
Nach seinem Tod hinterließ er den Hof seinen beiden Söhnen, die nördliche Hälfte Stephanus Petrus Erasmus und die südliche Hälfte Michael Christiaan Elardus Erasmus.
Tumblr media
Stephanus Petrus Erasmus „Swart lawaai“ und seine Frau Anna Catharina erbauten das historische Gehöft zwischen 1875 und 1904. Hier führten sie das Erbe der Viehzucht der Familie Erasmus fort. 
Tumblr media
Das Haus und die Farm, heute bekannt als Rietvallei, wurden 1912 an Donald Mackay Munro (geboren am 16. Februar 1872 in Faro, Bettyhill, an der Nordküste Schottlands) und seine Frau Ann Galbraith Murdoch, ebenfalls ursprünglich aus Schottland, verkauft. Sie hatten neun Kinder. 
Tumblr media
Munro kaufte einen 3.000-Morgen-Anteil der Farm Rietvlei. Ihr jüngstes Kind Betty wurde auf der Farm geboren. Er importierte ein paar Shorthorn-Rinder und baute eine reinrassige Herde auf, die auf landwirtschaftlichen Ausstellungen viele Preise gewann. 
Tumblr media
Der Hof war für damalige Verhältnisse sehr repräsentativ, mit einem sprudelnden kristallklaren Wasserbach, der durch den Garten vor dem Haus floss. Um das Haus herum befanden sich mindestens vier Obstgärten mit verschiedenen Früchten.
Tumblr media
Frau Munro war bekannt für ihre köstlichen hausgemachten Marmeladen und Gelees. Links vor dem Haus wuchs eine Catoba-Weinrebe und zwei lange Spaliere aus Weinreben wuchsen auf jeder Seite des Weges, der zum Haus führte.
Tumblr media
In der Mitte, dort wo heute sich heute der Pool befindet, war der alte “Löschteich”. Hinter dem Haupthaus steht heute noch das alte Backhaus, darin steht heute der Generator, der die Energieversorgung sicherstellt. Die Backhäuser errichtete man aus Gründen des Feuerschutzes immer abseits.
Tumblr media
Die Stadt Pretoria kaufte Rietvlei 1929, um die Stadt mit Trinkwasser zu versorgen. Im August 1938 führte Herr A. Weyers 67 Blessböcke von General Jan Smuts nahe gelegener Farm Doornkloof (im Osten) ein. Dies geschah, indem die Tiere zu Pferd von der Smuts-Farm zum Reservat getrieben wurden. Das Gebiet wurde später zum Naturschutzgebiet erklärt.
Tumblr media
Der Rietvlei-Staudamm wurde während der Weltwirtschaftskrise gebaut und 1934 fertiggestellt. Arbeiter erhielten 4 Schilling im Monat und die Erde wurde mit Maultierkarren weggekarrt. Der Damm wird vom Sesmyl (Six Mile) Spruit, fünf Brunnen (einer befindet sich auf einem angrenzenden Grundstück) und fünf Bohrlöchern gespeist. 
Tumblr media
Stromaufwärts vom Rietvlei-Damm befindet sich der Marais-Damm, der als Schlammdamm für den Rietvlei-Damm fungiert und dessen Ufer ein, bei den Locals, sehr beliebter Picknick-Platz eingerichtet wurde. Dazu wurden Toiletten gebaut und natürlich auch die beliebten Bird Hides.
Tumblr media
Ursprünglich war der Damm nicht öffentlich zugänglich, aber der Stadtrat von Pretoria plante das Reservat ökologisch und führte eine Reihe von Wildarten in das Reservat ein. 
Tumblr media
Das Nature-Reservat wurde 1948 proklamiert. Der Rietvlei-Staudamm versorgt Pretoria mit 15 % seines Wassers. 
Tumblr media
Die Straßen im Reservat sind gut gepflegt und dienen der Öffentlichkeit zur Wildbeobachtung und dem Personal des Reservats als Wartungsstraßen und Feuerschneisen. 
Tumblr media
Straßen teilen das Reservat in 31 Blöcke. Rotationsbeweidung wird im Reservat praktiziert, indem regelmäßig Blockflächen verbrannt und Lecksteine ​​als zusätzliche Fütterung verwendet werden.
Tumblr media
Das Reservat hat ein typisches Highveld-Klima mit trockenen, frostigen Wintern und durchschnittlich 724 mm Regen während der Regenzeit im Sommer. Die Temperaturen erreichen im Sommer bis zu 34°C und im Winter bis zu -2°C.
Tumblr media
Das Reservat besteht aus offenem Grasland mit welligen Hügeln mit einheimischen Bäumen, die in kleinen Gruppen gruppiert sind. Aufgrund früherer landwirtschaftlicher Praktiken wachsen im Reservat auch eine Reihe exotischer Bäume und Sträucher. 
Tumblr media
Die Silberakazie (aus Australien) ist der problematischste Eindringling, da sie keine lokalen Feinde hat und Samen bis zu 50 Jahre im Boden überleben können. 
Tumblr media
Das Reservat besteht aus einer Reihe verschiedener Lebensräume, die für erstklassige Vogelbeobachtungen sorgen. Die beiden Dämme im Reservat (mit Bird Hides) bieten offene Gewässer und Feuchtgebiete. 
Tumblr media
60 km gut gepflegter, meist geteerter und einigen unbefestigte, Straßen durchziehen das Reservat und ermöglichen den Zugang zu den verschiedenen Lebensräumen.
Tumblr media
Wir sind wirklich baff, da wir so ein riesiges Naturschutzgebiet, zwischen den Millionenmetropolen, mit einer derartig großen Artenvielfalt nicht im Entferntesten erwartet hätten. 
Tumblr media
Aus unserem geplanten Frühstück mit dem obligatorischen “nur mal gucken” wurde am Ende ein Ausflug von sage und schreibe 6 Stunden, die wir hier verbrachten - und wir sind davon vielleicht gerade einmal ganze 3 Kilometer doppelt gefahren.
Tumblr media
Übrigens werden von besagtem Coffee Shop auch Pirschfahrten angeboten. Die Gamedrives finden 3x täglich, jeweils um 8 Uhr, um 10 Uhr und um 3 Uhr statt.
Tumblr media
Zu besonderen Terminen gibt es auch Nightdrives. Buchbar sind die Fahrten über die Homepage, telefonisch oder eben auch direkt vor Ort.
Tumblr media
Wir sind total begeistert über unsere Entdeckung! Was für ein toller Abschluss unserer Reise ...
Lekker Slaap!
Angie, Micha und der Hasenbär

"MANY AT FUNERAL OF SLAIN OFFICER," The Province (Vancouver). July 14, 1934. Page 12. --- Impressive Scene as Last Respects Paid to Constable Carr. ---- MERRITT, July 14. - (CP) - Seventy-five automobiles, three of them filled with flowers, carried mourners along the winding road up to the hill and through the jack pines Friday afternoon, when Provincial Constable Percy Carr, a victim of the Canford tragedy, was laid to rest in Merritt Cemetery.
St. Michael's Anglican Church was filled to overflowing. The Union Jack covered the casket, alongside which stood the officiating clergyman, Rev. George Stewart of Monte Creek. who had baptized and confirmed the murdered officer.
"Let us sing Percy's favorite hymn, 'Fight the Good Fight," said the minister. His announcement struck a poignant note. The other hymn sung was "Where the Light for Ever Shineth."
The pallbearers, all in khaki. were the following provincial police officers: Staff-Sergt. W. J. Service, Kamloops: Sergt. H. N. Wood, Ashcroft: Cor- poral J. A. Smith, Merritt; Constable George Meade, Vernon; Constable O. L. Hall, Lytton, and Constable C. Thomas, Kamloops.
Other officers present Included Det.-Sgt. W. A. MacBrayne, provincial police, Victoria: Inspector Sutherland, C.P.R. investigation department; Constable Cameron, R.C.M.Ρ., Kamloops. Also attending were J. R.. Nicholson, barrister, Vancouver, and H. W. Galbraith, barrister, Vernon; Indian Agent A. H. Barber, and others who figured prominently in the Canford murder case.
Taking part in the service at the graveside were the 1.0.0.F. lodges and the Canadian Legion. Twigs of evergreen in remembrance were dropped on the casket and "The Last Post" was sounded by a bugler, as all returned men stood at salute.

Jk羅琳
H:哈利波特小說,電影等,是銷售及重播高的知名電影。看之餘佩服Jk羅琳的勇敢。困境翻轉人生。「根據羅琳自己的回憶,她覺得自己大學時「什麼事都沒做」,還「畫了很深的眼線,總是聽史密斯合唱團、看狄更斯與托爾金的書」」,人生「什麼事都沒做」,只要不放棄希望做對一件事即可。20240622W6
網路資料:
現實人生裡,羅琳一路走來的成長歷程,與她創作的長篇冒險史詩《哈利波特》如出一轍,強韌地展現一個生命如何用愛與勇氣,挺身力抗黑暗與磨難,終而歷劫歸來。
維基百科:

童年與教育
羅琳小時候在土茲希爾(英語:Tutshill)的家
羅琳的妹妹黛安娜(Dianne)在羅琳23個月大的時候出生,全家人在羅琳4歲時搬到鄰村溫特伯尼(英語:Winterbourne, Gloucestershire)[9][27][32]。羅琳曾就讀於村中的聖米迦勒小學(St Michael's Primary School),這是一所由前英國下議院議員、廢奴主義者威廉·威伯福斯及教育改革者漢娜·摩爾(英語:Hannah More)創立的學校[33][34]。聖米迦勒小學當時的校長阿爾弗雷德·丹(Alfred Dunn)被認為就是《哈利波特》小說中霍格華茲魔法與巫術學院校長阿不思·鄧不利多的原型[35]。
羅琳自幼就常寫奇幻故事,並唸給妹妹聽。她回憶道:「我還記得我曾告訴她一個她掉進兔子窩裡,裡面的兔子家族還拿草莓餵她吃的故事。而我第一個寫下來的故事(在��5或6歲的時候),關於兔子、題目也叫兔子。牠得了麻疹,朋友們都來看牠,包括一隻叫作蜂小姐(Miss Bee)的巨大蜜蜂[15]。」羅琳9歲時,全家搬到格洛斯特郡土茲希爾(英語:Tutshill)村的教堂小屋,那裡離威爾斯切普斯托很近[27]。在她青春期時,她的阿姨給了她一本舊的英國社會抗議作家潔西卡·密特福德(英語:Jessica Mitford)自傳,密特福德於是成為羅琳心目中的英雄,她看了密特福德的每一本書[36]。
羅琳接受《紐約客》訪談時提到她的青春期:「我特別不開心。那是我人生中最糟的階段[26]。」她的家庭生活很糟糕,羅琳跟父親處得不好,母親也病了[26]。當她進入懷登學校(英語:Wyedean School)唸書時,母親也在該校科學實驗室當技術員[37]。羅琳說她青春期時的樣子「就是妙麗·格蘭傑的原型。她是我11歲時的誇張版本,那是我並不引以為傲的樣子[38]。」羅琳在該校的英語老師史帝夫·艾迪(Steve Eddy)回憶羅琳當時並不特別傑出,但屬於「一群開朗女孩團體的一員,英文成績也不錯」。她高年級時的好友西恩·哈里斯(Sean Harris)有輛藍綠色的福特Anglia(英語:Ford Anglia),曾在羅琳筆下出現:「榮恩·衛斯理長得一點也不像西恩,但他完全是西恩式的角色[36]。」關於羅琳那時的音樂品味,她說:「我最愛的團體是史密斯樂團,當我到達龐克時期,則是衝擊合唱團[36]。」羅琳成績優異,當選為女學生主席[26];她的英語成績拿到「A」,法語和德語則拿到兩個「A」和一個「B」[39][28]。
1982年,羅琳參加牛津大學的入學考試,但未被錄取;後於艾希特大學唸法語和古典學,那是個對她帶來衝擊、「預期會與許多相似但思想激進的人相處」的地方。當她加入一群志同道合的人們,開始結交朋友時,她感到她正在做自己[36]。艾希特大學法語教授馬丁·索瑞爾(Martin Sorrell)回憶大學時的羅琳:「一個安靜又能幹的學生,總是穿著丹寧外套、留一頭深色頭髮,以學術語言來說,她有著能幹的外表[26]。」不過,根據羅琳自己的回憶,她覺得自己大學時「什麼事都沒做」,還「畫了很深的眼線,總是聽史密斯合唱團、看狄更斯與托爾金的書」[26]。羅琳曾到巴黎當過一年交換學生,並於1986年自艾希特大學畢業[26];然後搬到倫敦,在國際特赦組織當研究員和雙語秘書[40]。1988年,羅琳寫了一篇有關她唸古典學時的短文,標題為〈What was the Name of that Nymph Again? or Greek and Roman Studies Recalled〉,並刊載於艾希特大學的《佩格薩斯》(Pegasus)期刊上[41]。

羅琳的妹妹黛安娜(Dianne)在羅琳23個月大的時候出生,全家人在羅琳4歲時搬到鄰村溫特伯尼(英語:Winterbourne, Gloucestershire)[9][27][32]。羅琳曾就讀於村中的聖米迦勒小學(St Michael's Primary School),這是一所由前英國下議院議員、廢奴主義者威廉·威伯福斯及教育改革者漢娜·摩爾(英語:Hannah More)創立的學校[33][34]。聖米迦勒小學當時的校長阿爾弗雷德·丹(Alfred Dunn)被認為就是《哈利波特》小說中霍格華茲魔法與巫術學院校長阿不思·鄧不利多的原型[35]。
羅琳自幼就常寫奇幻故事,並唸給妹妹聽。她回憶道:「我還記得我曾告訴她一個她掉進兔子窩裡,裡面的兔子家族還拿草莓餵她吃的故事。而我第一個寫下來的故事(在我5或6歲的時候),關於兔子、題目也叫兔子。牠得了麻疹,朋友們都來看牠,包括一隻叫作蜂小姐(Miss Bee)的巨大蜜蜂[15]。」羅琳9歲時,全家搬到格洛斯特郡土茲希爾(英語:Tutshill)村的教堂小屋,那裡離威爾斯切普斯托很近[27]。在她青春期時,她的阿姨給了她一本舊的英國社會抗議作家潔西卡·密特福德(英語:Jessica Mitford)自傳,密特福德於是成為羅琳心目中的英雄,她看了密特福德的每一本書[36]。
羅琳接受《紐約客》訪談時提到她的青春期:「我特別不開心。那是我人生中最糟的階段[26]。」她的家庭生活很糟糕,羅琳跟父親處得不好,母親也病了[26]。當她進入懷登學校(英語:Wyedean School)唸書時,母親也在該校科學實驗室當技術員[37]。羅琳說她青春期時的樣子「就是妙麗·格蘭傑的原型。她是我11歲時的誇張版本,那是我並不引以為傲的樣子[38]。」羅琳在該校的英語老師史帝夫·艾迪(Steve Eddy)回憶羅琳當時並不特別傑出,但屬於「一群開朗女孩團體的一員,英文成績也不錯」。她高年級時的好友西恩·哈里斯(Sean Harris)有輛藍綠色的福特Anglia(英語:Ford Anglia),曾在羅琳筆下出現:「榮恩·衛斯理長得一點也不像西恩,但他完全是西恩式的角色[36]。」關於羅琳那時的音樂品味,她說:「我最愛的團體是史密斯樂團,當我到達龐克時期,則是衝擊合唱團[36]。」羅琳成績優異,當選為女學生主席[26];她的英語成績拿到「A」,法語和德語則拿到兩個「A」和一個「B」[39][28]。
1982年,羅琳參加牛津大學的入學考試,但未被錄取;後於艾希特大學唸法語和古典學,那是個對她帶來衝擊、「預期會與許多相似但思想激進的人相處」的地方。當她加入一群志同道合的人們,開始結交朋友時,她感到她正在做自己[36]。艾希特大學法語教授馬丁·索瑞爾(Martin Sorrell)回憶大學時的羅琳:「一個安靜又能幹的學生,總是穿著丹寧外套、留一頭深色頭髮,以學術語言來說,她有著能幹的外表[26]。」不過,根據羅琳自己的回憶,她覺得自己大學時「什麼事都沒做」,還「畫了很深的眼線,總是聽史密斯合唱團、看狄更斯與托爾金的書」[26]。羅琳曾到巴黎當過一年交換學生,並於1986年自艾希特大學畢業[26];然後搬到倫敦,在國際特赦組織當研究員和雙語秘書[40]。1988年,羅琳寫了一篇有關她唸古典學時的短文,標題為〈What was the Name of that Nymph Again? or Greek and Roman Studies Recalled〉,並刊載於艾希特大學的《佩格薩斯》(Pegasus)期刊上[41]。
J.K·羅琳在她的個人網站上這樣介紹《哈利波特》:
“我在開往倫敦的擁擠列車上展開個人旅行時,《哈利波特》就這樣進入我的腦中。從6歲開始,我就不間斷地寫作,但我從未因某個點子而如此興奮,直到那時。當時,我正面臨人生最大的困境,找不到一支筆可以寫作,也羞於向人借錢……我沒有一支能用的筆,但我認為那真的是個好點子。我坐下來開始思考,在4個小時內(列車誤點了4個小時)勾勒出所有細節。這個骨瘦如柴、戴眼鏡、以前從未想過自己是個巫師的黑髮男孩,變得更加真實。如果我抓住靈感,並寫在紙上的時候慢了,或許就扼殺了它(有時我會懷疑,自己在那趟旅程中想到的,有多少在我實際提筆寫下前忘了?)。我開始在每個向晚時分撰寫《神秘的魔法石》,雖然最初寫的那幾張紙沒有一張和後來的定稿類似[43] 。”
此時,羅琳已經從艾希特大學畢業7年了,自嘲為「我所見過最失敗的人」[48]。她的婚姻以失敗收場,沒有工作,還帶著一個嗷嗷待哺的孩子;但她形容那場失敗是種解放:
“失敗代表了摒除不必要的事物,我不再自我欺騙、乾脆忠於自我,投注所有心力完成唯一重要的工作。要是我以前在其他地方成功了,那麼我也許永遠不會有這樣的決心,投身於這個我自信真正屬於我的領域。我重獲自由了!因為我最大的恐懼雖然降臨了,而我還活著,我還有個可愛的女兒,還有台老舊的打字機和偉大的構思。曾經跌落深邃的谷底,卻變成日後重生深厚的基礎[48][49]。”——J.K·羅琳,〈失敗的好處和想像的重要性〉
在那段低潮期,羅琳被確診罹患臨床憂鬱症,曾試圖自殺[50]。憂鬱發作時的黑暗感受成為羅琳創造催狂魔這種生物的靈感來源,那是《哈利波特》裡一種會吸食人類正面情緒,甚至靈魂的黑暗生物[51]。羅琳接受政府的社會救助,她描述那時的經濟狀況為「即使是在現代英國,也稱得上貧窮,但沒有無家可歸」[26][48]。

I asked my interviewees these questions and told them they don't have to answer every question if they would prefer not to but feel welcome to explain and I tried to keep their responses as raw as possible.
I believe this method of interviews in my magazine has worked very well because my interviewees said that it feels good to have their voice heard and actually thinking about why they started has really made them come to terms with how far they've come. This method is also going to help other people, reading different people's journeys where they've explained what their reason was and how it may have changed. It's even motivated me to read their stories.

How Jack Welch Created $400 Billion of Value By Transforming General Electric National Bestseller.One of the 100 Best Business Books of All Time “Facinating… There is at least as much to be learned here as from reading Peter Drucker John Kenneth Galbraith or Michael Porter.” –Boston Globe Acknowledged as the outstanding business leader of the late twentieth century, Jack Welch made General Electric one of the world’s most competitive companies. This dynamic CEO defined the standard for organizational change, creating more than $400 billion in shareholder value by transforming a bureaucratic behemoth into a nimble, scrappy winner in the global marketplace. Here, Tichy and Sherman extract the enduring leadership lessons from the revolution Welch wrought at GE. Of these, the most essential is the limitless power of learning. Leadership has its mysteries, but it is a skill that anyone can acquire and enhance. Above all, great leaders select great people and lure them into an endless process of learning and adaptation.

Mariani Premier Group expands with Lifescape Colorado acquisition
There are a few things that are certain in Pensacola that you will have to deal with at some point - tree removal and tree trimming. Before you hire a Tree Removal Service Pensacola company you should take into consideration before hiring a tree service company. Some of the things you should consider include: - The type of tree that needs to be removed - The size of the tree - The location of the tree - The condition of the tree If you are unsure about whether or not you need to hire a tree removal company, contact Tree Removal in Pensacola Florida for a consultation. We will be able to assess your situation and give you our professional opinion. Mariani Premier Group acquired Lifescape Colorado, a residential landscape firm founded in 1976 by Charles Randolph. The move marks the 19th acquisition by the group as the group continues its national expansion efforts. “We are thrilled to welcome Lifescape Colorado into the Mariani Premier Group family,” said Mariani Premier Group Chairman Frank Mariani. “The addition of Lifescape further strengthens our position in the Colorado market and underscores our commitment to providing unparalleled service and expertise to our clients across the country.” Headquartered in Denver, Colo., Lifescape Colorado is celebrating its 48th anniversary. Michael Hupf has been at the helm for the past 18 years leading Lifescape Colorado from a boutique local firm to a $31 million revenue in 2022 — ranking No. 97 on the 2023 LM150 list. The company offers landscape architecture, construction and property care services throughout the Denver area. “Joining forces with the Mariani Premier Group presents the next chapter for Lifescape Colorado and is an incredible opportunity for us to expand our reach both locally and nationally,“  said Hupf. ”This partnership will enable us to continue to build on our passion of delivering the highest standards of service and craftsmanship to our clients while fostering growth and innovation within our organization.” Earlier this year the group added Galbraith Grounds Management, a boutique landscape management firm specializing in the construction and care of residential Atlanta landscapes. Additionally, the group added Botanica Landscaping and Garden Industries based in the Palm Beach, Fla. market and Colorado-based Rocky Mountain Custom Landscapes. Mariani added seven family-owned landscape companies in 2022 and has also welcomed Blue Landscape Contracting Group and Blue Outdoor Solutions, based in Naples, Fla., Ed Castro Landscape, a full-service operation in Roswell, Ga.; and Glengate in Wilton, Conn.; Borst Landscape & Design, in Allendale, N.J.; Southview Design of St. Paul, Minn.; Planted Earth Landscaping, based in the Washington, D.C.; and Siciliano Landscape Co. of Red Bank, N.J.
