Theatre. Is it possible to cut glass with scissors? (Comments) Jonathan Meades. Jonathan Turner Meades (born 21 January 1947) is a British writer on food, architecture, and culture, as well as an author and broadcaster. He is an Honorary Associate of the National Secular Society[1] and a Distinguished Supporter of the British Humanist Association.[2] Education[edit] Meades was born in Salisbury, Wiltshire, and educated at King's College, an independent school in the market town of Taunton in Somerset. He studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in 1968.[3] Food writing[edit] Meades wrote reviews and articles for The Times for many years, and was specifically the restaurant critic of The Times newspaper between 1986 and 2001.[4] He was voted Best Food Journalist in the 1999 Glenfiddich Awards.[5] Having given up food writing in 2001 after being the Times restaurant critic for fifteen years, Meades estimated, in an interview with Restaurant magazine, that he had put on 5 lb a year during his reviewing period, which works out around an ounce per restaurant.
Eliot, Charles W., ed. The Harvard Classics and Harvard Classics Shelf of Fiction. 1909–1917. Life 2.0: The little book of Flow - revised. Here is the 'Little book of Flow' in one long post. The premise of this essay is that those exquisite but all too rare moments when we experience 'flow', when we are truly creative, happy and intuitively know exactly what is needed, are simply those instances when we glimpse our original and true nature. It sets out to show how, instead of trying to fathom the conditions for flow, we can realise this 'true nature' and make 'flow' our normal way of being, wherever we are and in whatever we do.
