I Swear

release date: Aug 21, 2025
I Swear
THE MUST-READ MEMOIR BEHIND THE MAJOR BAFTA AWARD-WINNING FILM, I SWEAR, STARRING ROBERT ARAMAYO. From the remarkable Scottish campaigner, this is the powerful and moving autobiography offering extraordinary insight into what it is like to live with a severe form of Tourette''s Syndrome. ''Funny and heartfelt ... this skilfully told tale deserves praise for how it lets us non-sweary people see inside the ordinary, albeit anxious, mind of someone with Tourette syndrome.'' THE TIMES Born in the 1970s on the Scottish Borders, John’s was ten when his tics first arrived, as if from nowhere. Previously a happy, popular, football-mad boy he was labelled disruptive, rude, and even mad. As his condition progressed, from blinks and jerks to involuntary rude and obscene shouting, John was bullied, rejected - alienated from his family and a society that had no idea what to make of him. Hospitalized and drugged for months, it was only an extraordinary and transformative friendship, and John’s dogged optimism, that turned his life around, making I Swear an inspirational story of triumph over adversity. Through John’s eyes, we see Tourette’s not just as a medical condition, but as a lens through which we can all better understand the importance of human connection. And how essential, as well as ultimately rewarding, it can be to keep going and never give up. ''An astonishing tale about an amazing man.'' - JOJO MOYES, author of Me Before You and Someone Else''s Shoes ''This superb book is an engaging and fascinating account of what it''s like to live with Tourette''s.'' DAILY MAIL ''Brave, shocking, funny and moving ... This is a really important book.'' RACHEL JOYCE, bestselling author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and The Homemade God

Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Adult faces Chapter 2: Children’s and Babies’ Faces Chapter 3: Individual Features Eyes Noses Lips How to Draw Ears Chapter 5: How to Draw Hands and Feet How to Draw Hands Drawing Feet Chapter 6: How to Draw Hair Chapter 7: Body Proportions - Bigger Shoulders or Bigger Hips? Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction As human beings, each one of us has a face that is unique to ourselves and to no-one else on the planet. It’s true that each of us has two ears, two eyes, a pair of eyebrows, a nose and a mouth, but that’s where the resemblance ends. There are an infinite number of variations on this basic theme, and even a tiny fraction of an inch in the size of each feature can make a difference to our recognition of one person from another. Our brains are so finely tuned to recognizing faces that they even see them where they aren’t there! Several people have reported seeing the face of Jesus in a cheese sandwich or the face of Abraham Lincoln in a stain on the floor. But within the human race, although the variety of individual faces is enormous, there are certain proportions and characteristics which are common to all of us. Let’s take a look.

Persian Letters (1721). By: Montesquieu, Translated By: John Davidson

Persian Letters (1721). By: Montesquieu, Translated By: John Davidson
Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu ( 18 January 1689 - 10 February 1755), generally referred to as simply Montesquieu, was a French judge, man of letters, and political philosopher.He is famous for his articulation of the theory of separation of powers, which is implemented in many constitutions throughout the world. He is also known for doing more than any other author to secure the place of the word "despotism" in the political lexicon. Biography: Montesquieu was born at the Château de la Brède in southwest France, 25 kilometres (16 mi) south of Bordeaux. His father, Jacques de Secondat, was a soldier with a long noble ancestry. His mother, Marie Françoise de Pesnel, who died when Charles was seven, was an heiress who brought the title of Barony of La Brède to the Secondat family. After the death of his mother he was sent to the Catholic College of Juilly, a prominent school for the children of French nobility, where he remained from 1700 to 1711. His father died in 1713 and he became a ward of his uncle, the Baron de Montesquieu. He became a counselor of the Bordeaux Parliament in 1714. In 1715 he married Jeanne de Lartigue, a Protestant, who eventually bore him three children. The Baron died in 1716, leaving him his fortune as well as his title, and the office of Président à Mortier in the Bordeaux Parliament. Montesquieu''s early life occurred at a time of significant governmental change. England had declared itself a constitutional monarchy in the wake of its Glorious Revolution (1688-89), and had joined with Scotland in the Union of 1707 to form the Kingdom of Great Britain. In France the long-reigning Louis XIV died in 1715 and was succeeded by the five-year-old Louis XV. These national transformations had a great impact on Montesquieu; he would refer to them repeatedly in his work.Montesquieu withdrew from the practice of law to devote himself to study and writing. He achieved literary success with the publication of his Lettres persanes (Persian Letters, 1721), a satire representing society as seen through the eyes of two imaginary Persian visitors to Paris and Europe, cleverly criticizing the absurdities of contemporary French society. He next published Considérations sur les causes de la grandeur des Romains et de leur décadence (Considerations on the Causes of the Grandeur and Decadence of the Romans, 1734).................. John Davidson (11 April 1857 - 23 March 1909) was a Scottish poet, playwright and novelist, best known for his ballads.He also did translations from French and German. In 1909, financial difficulties, as well as physical and mental health problems, led to his suicide. Life and works: Scotland He was born at Barrhead, East Renfrewshire as the son of Alexander Davidson, an Evangelical Union minister and Helen née Crocket of Elgin. His family removed to Greenock in 1862 where he was educated at Highlanders'' Academy there and entered the chemical laboratory of Walker''s Sugarhouse refinery in his 13th year, returning after one year to school as a pupil teacher. In Public Analysts'' Office, 1870-71. In these employments he developed an interest in science which became an important characteristic of his poetry.In 1872 he returned for four years to the Highlanders'' Academy as a pupil-teacher, and, after a year at Edinburgh University (1876-77), received in 1877 his first scholastic employment at Alexander''s Charity, Glasgow. During the next six years he held positions in the following schools: Perth Academy (1878-81), Kelvinside Academy, Glasgow (1881-82), and Hutchinson''s Charity, Paisley (1883-84). He varied his career by spending a year as clerk in a Glasgow thread firm (1884-85), and subsequently taught in Morrison''s Academy, Crieff (1885-88), and in a private school at Greenock (1888-89). Married 1885.....

That is so not true. A little bit of planning and this fallacy is going to fall to pieces by the wayside. Those who are grown annuals for years are going to give this statement the lie gladly. Their initial investment must have been just a packet of seeds. The next year, the plants were grown from the seeds collected from the previous years’ crop. Do not forget that the life of an annual is limited to just 12 months and so you must not expect them to grow up and bloom again the next year, unless of course you allowed the seeds to lie in the bed without collecting them. That is when they are going to bloom up just like weeds with a little bit of rain, and with the coming of the spring. One of the great advantages of annuals is that they are quite easy to grow and flourish in your garden over a long period. The most common are well known to even amateur gardeners who can recognize a cornflower, nasturtiums, Virginia stock and Candytuft. These are very beautiful in themselves, but every gardener is growing them in his garden.

With lots of trial and error, especially with plenty of possible poisonings and stomachaches, he finally got to understand that many of these plants, their leaves, their seeds, and their fruit were delicious and complemented the food that he ate. They were also good healers, and a paste of them ground together with water or milk could be applied on Ug’s scratches and wounds, when he came home injured from arguments with other Neanderthal tribes or through hunting saber – tooths. In medieval times, any household without an Herb garden spoke about a careless housewife. Each housewife was proud to have her own herbal lore, given to her by her female ancestors, with which she used to keep her family healthy, add to their home cooked fare and kept her busy. Wise women since ancient times were known for the extent of their Herb gardens and their medical lore. However, in medieval times, when ignorance was rampant, anybody could get rid of her enemies by just denouncing her as a witch. I read a medieval historical, in which the pretty heroine was troubled by a jealous woman in the village, who used to go off into supposedly hysterical fits, whenever she saw her, forming in the mouth and calling her a witch. This is of course a case of jealousy, melodramatic propensities, and plenty of ham acting. Nevertheless, those were the days when people went to these wise women for herbal cures for their aches and pains, and the moment they got well, they hung them at the stake or drown them in the pond, because these good women were supposedly devil worshipers, working black magic in order to heal the ailments of mankind, which were supposedly the natural human lot. Luckily, in the 21st century, we can build our herb gardens without impunity, and not worry about someone wrecking our herb garden, out of sheer mischief or malice, shouting, black magic, witchcraft, and bubbling at the mouth all the while. You can make an Herb garden outdoors in the wide-open spaces, or you can plant it in boxes. Sunny and airy windowsills are also excellent for growing herbs. Even a small herb border is going to prove very useful to all housewives and cooks. Not only is it going to be possible for you to get herbs for such well-known purposes as sauces and stuffing, but the addition of a few well-chosen leaves of herbs can alter and improve the taste of all the dishes you make.

For millenniums he has used herbs and parts of plants for culinary, medicinal, and domestic purposes. Apart from the well-known traditional use for all manners of illnesses and ailments – I defy any person in the world who has not used some natural cure, natural remedy, or even natural beauty recipe in order to cure himself naturally, – herbs have also proven to be invaluable in many other different ways, when you take it in the domestic context. For centuries men have been using plants to provide shelter, fire material, floor coverings, roof coverings, and even utensils. Even today, in many parts of the world, the calabash is hollowed out and used as a container to store water as well as food. I have often used half of coconut shells in order to drink water, whenever I have gone trekking. Apart from this, herbs and plants have been used to provide color, decoration, flavor, and healthy benefits to a large number of our culinary preparations. This book is going to tell you how you can use natural herbs and plants to create a large number of products, that you can either sell outside in your neighborhood, city, or use at home. Many of these methods have been time-tested and have been used down the ages to provide us with useful items, even though we have half forgotten about how to make them, because it is so easy for us to get them off the supermarket shelf. Nevertheless, even if you do not use this book for providing you with items for sale, you can use it as a ready reference whenever you want to practice creating something naturally, profitably, and beneficial.
