Triple bill of historical adventures. In 'The Eagle' (2010) Marcus
Aquila (Channing Tatum), a young soldier in 140 AD Roman-occupied
England, sets out to honour his father's memory by tracking down
the long-missing Roman Ninth Legion in which his father once
served. Accompanied by his British slave, Esca (Jamie Bell), Marcus
travels beyond Hadrian's Wall into the uncharted highlands of
Caledonia to confront its savage tribes and retrieve the lost
legion's golden emblem, the Eagle of the Ninth. In 'Gladiator'
(2000) Russell Crowe stars as Maximus, a general beloved of the
Emperor, Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris), but feared by the
Emperor's son and heir, Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix). When Aurelius
dies and Commodus accedes to the throne, Maximus returns home to
find his wife and son killed and only just survives the murderous
dictates of the new Emperor himself. Sold into slavery then trained
as a gladiator, only thoughts of revenge keep Maximus going as he
prepares for a showdown at the Colosseum, presided over by
Commodus. In 'Robin Hood' (2010), Sir Robin of Loxley (Crowe)
returns from the Crusades to his home in the north of England.
There he comes up against the oppressive regime imposed by the
tyrannical new Sheriff of Nottingham (Matthew Macfadyen). Outraged
by the Sheriff's behaviour and the general state of the region,
Robin summons up a group of supporters and puts his formidable
archery skills to use in an effort to free the people from
corruption and political injustice.
Almost every contested financial case raises issues of enforcement.
Even if these do not materialise it is essential for practitioners
to be alive to them when they are negotiating settlements or
pursuing an application for financial orders. There is little point
securing a large settlement for your client if it is incapable of
enforcement. Although enforcement is a fundamental aspect of
financial remedy proceedings, it is a topic which many
practitioners find difficult. 1KBW on Enforcement in Financial
Remedy Proceedings provides guidance in and understanding of this
complex area of law. Differing from other sources currently
available, this title is dedicated specifically to issues of
enforcement, which are addressed more comprehensively (both in
terms of substantive and procedural law) than the other sources are
able to deal with them. It also covers international cases where
especially difficult issues are often thrown up, so the authors
offer some practical guidance on how such issues might be
addressed. Key legislation covered: - Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 *
Family Procedure Rules 2010 * Civil Procedure Rules 1998 *
Attachment of Earnings Act 1971 * Charging Orders Act 1979 *
Contempt of Court Act 1981 * Debtors Act 1872 * Senior courts Act
1981 * County Courts Act 1984 * Maintenance Orders (Reciprocal
Enforcement) Act 1972 * Maintenance Enforcement Act 1991

A Whimsical Desert Digest Of Refreshing Nonsense Heralding The Life
Of The Southwest's Foremost Story-Telling Desert Rat, Harry Oliver,
1888-1999.
1895. American author and journalist, Harris is famous, or infamous
as the case may be, for his humorous adaptations of black folk
legends in the Uncle Remus Stories. The Uncle Remus folk tales,
told by a Negro to a little boy, feature a variety of animals with
the rabbit as hero and the fox next in importance, and often stress
the importance of brains over brawn. Harris fell out of favor with
black critics and scholars in the '60s due to what they consider is
arguably the worst kind of racist stereotyping-the depiction of
ex-slaves identifying with the plantation system of the Old South.
But in recent years these same critics are beginning to believe
that Harris might have saved an important legacy. Told by his
friends and acquaintances, The Story of Aaron is a children's story
of a black slave in Georgia who knows the language of the animals.

Why do we call the best of something 'the bees' knees'? Where did
the term 'barmy army' come from? Which 'colours' do we 'nail to the
mast'? How are we ever 'dressed to the nines'? Why do we refer to
New York as 'The Big Apple'? There are hundreds of phrases that we
use on a daily basis without having a clue about where most of them
come from. This book is nothing short of a fascinating ride around
the greatest language in the world. So stop getting up to
skullduggery, take a pew and have a butcher's at this little tome.
Learn about your language in one fell swoop and make sure you never
get caught red handed using words you don't understand to bark up
the wrong tree! This book really is the cat's whiskers. Once you've
read one entry, you'll want to read them all!
Cross your fingers, knock on wood, and clutch your rabbit's foot a
little tighter.
In this charming and endlessly diverting book, Harry Oliver delves
into the stories behind the traditions and superstitions that
permeate our everyday lives, unearthing the fascinating histories
of these weird and wonderful notions. So before you search for any
more four-leaf clovers, worry about the next Friday the 13th, or
avoid walking under any ladders, dip into this amazing tome and
discover:
* Why breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck.
* The best day of the week to ask for a favor.
* Why you should never jump over a child in Turkey.
