How To Be A Good Wife: Being a good wife is a complex and evolving role that varies depending on cultural, social, and personal factors. It's essential to approach this topic with sensitivity and an understanding that there is no one-size-fits-all formula for being a good wife. However, we can outline some general principles and qualities that can help contribute to a healthy and fulfilling marriage. Communication is Key: Effective communication is the cornerstone of a successful marriage. Being a good wife means actively listening to your spouse, expressing your thoughts and feelings honestly, and resolving conflicts through open dialogue. Make an effort to understand your partner's perspective and be willing to compromise. Mutual Respect: Respect is a fundamental aspect of any healthy relationship. Treat your spouse with kindness, consideration, and dignity. Respect their opinions, boundaries, and autonomy. A respectful partnership builds trust and fosters love and understanding. Supportive Partner: Supporting your spouse's dreams, aspirations, and ambitions is a crucial aspect of being a good wife. Encourage their personal growth and be their cheerleader in both good and challenging times. A strong partnership involves lifting each other up. Sharing Responsibilities: In modern marriages, sharing household and family responsibilities is essential. Work together with your spouse to manage chores, childcare, and financial matters. A balanced partnership leads to less stress and more quality time together. Trust and Honesty: Trust is the bedrock of a strong marriage. Be honest with your spouse and maintain their trust. Avoid keeping secrets or telling white lies, as these can erode trust over time. Trust is earned through consistent honesty and transparency. Quality Time: Spend quality time together. Make an effort to connect and nurture the emotional bond in your marriage. Date nights, weekend getaways, or simple gestures like cooking a meal together can strengthen your relationship. Independence: While partnership is crucial, it's also essential for each spouse to maintain their independence and individuality. Pursue your interests and passions outside of the marriage. A good wife respects her partner's need for personal space and encourages them to pursue their own happiness. Patience and Tolerance: Marriage can be challenging at times. Both spouses are bound to make mistakes and have flaws. Patience and tolerance are vital. Understand that nobody is perfect, including you, and be forgiving of each other's shortcomings. Affection and Intimacy: Physical and emotional intimacy are integral to a healthy marriage. Show affection regularly, through hugs, kisses, and expressions of love. Keep the spark alive in your relationship to maintain a strong and passionate connection. Empathy and Understanding: Empathy is the ability to put yourself in your partner's shoes. Understand their emotions and experiences, and be empathetic when they're going through difficult times. A good wife is supportive and understanding.

Larry Ellison started the high-flying tech company Oracle with $1,200 in 1977 and turned it into a billion-dollar Silicon Valley giant. If Bill Gates is the tech world's nerd king, Ellison is its Warren Beatty: racing yachts, buying jets, and romancing beautiful women. His rise to fame and fortune is a tale of entrepreneurial brilliance, ruthless tactics, and a constant stream of half-truths and outright fabrications for which the man and his company are notorious.Investigative reporter Mike Wilson, with access to Ellison himself and more than 125 of his friends, enemies, and former Oracle employees, has created an eye-opening, utterly fascinating portrayal of a Silicon Valley success story ... filled with the stuff that dreams and cultural icons are made of.

"Would that the Roman people had but one neck," said the mad emperor Caligula, "that I might chop it through." In Arranging Deck Chairs on the Titanic, Mike Wilson takes on our own mad would-be emperor, a man "sharpening the hatchet / for our collective suicide." Wilson, a poet of keen intelligence, guides us through this upside-down world where "Antarctica is hotter than L.A." and "all the answers on Jeopardy are lies." Here is the MAGA-hatted, assault-rifle toting cult that drinks, not the Kool-Aid but the Clorox. Here is God the barfly "ordering a round for everyone / but without instructions for an Ark." A government as terrifyingly absurd as Trump''s might seem to defy the poet, but Wilson distils our anger with skill and wit. Arranging deck chairs on the Titanic might be the futile gesture of those who refuse to see impending disaster, but it might also be an assertion of human dignity in the face of madness. - Sherry Chandler

Little Tyke illustrates the life and times of a Yorkshire lad from the early 40s to the present day. The stories are not necessarily all true, neither are they complete fiction. The element of truth is the factor which makes all fiction believable, and the author hopes something of real life can be gleaned from these short pieces. Now turned seventy, the author - with his sister, friends and neighbours - is depicted on the cover. The adults are no longer with us and the author offers these children his best wishes as they, like him, approach old age.

This collection of letters from Second Lieutenant Topham Becher Dabridgecourt Hough was discovered at Bridlington School ninety-six years after his death. They cover his entire army career, from enlistment in 1915, to the day of his death in 1916, aged 18 years. In 2012, local historian Mike Wilson, became aware of the find and offered to create a book of the letters, which are both fascinating and moving, and an important record of the hopes and fears of one young man and his family back home.

Mike Wilson is in conflict with his friend. His friend has continued to follow the Roman Catholic Church teachings, while Mike has become persuaded to join the atheist community. In his letters Mike's friend expresses his disappointment that his schoolpal is destined for a terrible afterlife, while Mike's letters to him express his delight in being free of the obligations of religion, which he refers to as his 'concrete overcoat.' The two friends remain on speaking terms, but each is concerned about the other. This, says Mike, is how it should be, but he hopes his friend will read the responses to his concerns. Mike can understand his friend's reluctance to leave the church, admitting it took many years before he saw the light. As well as Mike's letters, the book contains sayings from famous atheists, a selection of Mike's poetry and short plays on the subject, and a test to see if you live in the real world.

Following research through the Annals of Bridlington Local Studies Library, Mike Wilson has added the results to his collection of postcards of Charlie Beanland's Waterloo Pierrots.
