Aliens came to Earth to abduct our women, but it backfired. Now they're returning them, and I'm in charge of shuttling women back from orbit. Ever since I first laid my eyes on the alien ship's commander, I've had a crush on him. Who can blame me? He's tall and gorgeous, with skin the color of midnight. He has a voice that can purr or roar and seven long tails that he really knows how to use. I know I can't have him. I've never even spoken to him. But when an incident renders the commander unconscious, I have no choice but to take him to my remote hunting cabin.

Qu'elles soient joyeuses ou tragiques, visibles ou non, les ruptures rythment notre existence, nous transforment, nous remettent profondément en question. Comment conjuguer ces "bifurcations" de nos vies que sont les ruptures avec l'idée de notre identité, une et constante ? Nous révèlent-elles la multiplicité de nos identités possibles, ou le fait que nous nous affirmions progressivement, au fur et à mesure de ces "accidents" de la vie ? Nous épurent-elles ou nous démolissent-elles ?

La motivación despierta un interés universal. Los padres quieren motivar a sus hijos, los docentes a sus alumnos, los jefes a los subordinados, las empresas a sus clientes, los políticos a los votantes… También queremos motivarnos a nosotros mismos; cuando nos sentimos aburridos, cansados, desesperanzados, y desearíamos poder lanzar un grito de ayuda: ¡Por favor, que alguien me motive! Incluso este breve texto no pretende nada más que motivarle a leer el libro. ¿Cómo lograrlo? He ahí la cuestión fundamental.

"Est-ce femme ? est-ce flamme ? C'est une âme qui se damne. - Ta mort ! - Mon plaisir ! Danserai à en mourir !" En 1922, Marina Tsvétaïeva écrit en russe un poème qui s'inspire du célèbre conte d'Afanassiev, "Le Vampire", l'histoire de la belle Maroussia qui tombe amoureuse de celui avec lequel elle a dansé toute la nuit, et qu'elle surprend le lendemain en train de dévorer un cadavre. En 1929, à Paris, Tsvétaïeva entreprend de traduire ce poème en français. Elle l'intitule "Le Gars".

Marina Vaizey reviews the work of Julia Margaret Cameron, Victorian photographer, exhibited at the Victoria and Albert, and Science Museum London.

The extraordinary exhibition of thousands of photographs ranging from cumbersome, beautifully detailed, sharply acute photographs of the aftermath of the 1860s American Civil War to mundane landscapes taken in 2013, are based on an enlivening, provocative, and even perhaps controversial organizing principle. What is novel is the unusual premise: eschewing more conventional and immediate reportage, or documentary series, the selection moving from gallery to gallery - and section by section in the catalogue - is defined by time.

Heute vergeht kein Tag mehr, an dem meine Exzesse nicht die Medien beherrschen. Drogen, Alkohol, Prostituierte. Als DJ verkehre ich in anderen Kreisen, die mich vergessen lassen. Ja, ich habe Fehler gemacht und der größte bestimmt seit Jahren mein Leben. Die Hölle hat mich verbrannt und anschließend wieder ausgespuckt. Im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. Nur aus einem Grund komme ich seither so oft in die Einöde. Nur aus einem Grund leide ich Höllenqualen. Doch dieses Jahr habe ich die Schnauze voll und schwöre mir, dass ich Silvester nicht allein begehen werde.

The fall season can be truly amazing with colorful leaves in big soft piles, Halloween pumpkins and pumpkin pie. Oh my, what an Amazing Autumn.
