José Padilha directs this big-budget remake starring Joel Kinnaman
as the part-man, part-machine police officer known as RoboCop. In
the year 2028, multinational company OmniCorp are leading the way
in robot technology, with machines serving in the military around
the world. Eager to increase OmniCorp's profits, CEO Ray Sellars
(Michael Keaton) wants to advance to the next level by developing a
part-robot police officer. When Detroit cop Alex Murphy (Kinnaman),
a devoted family man, is critically wounded, Sellars seizes his
chance to use him in his project and RoboCop is created at the
hands of scientist Dr. Dennett Norton (Gary Oldman). The robot has
been designed to remain under the control of the company but they
have failed to take into account the human factor and the man who
exists inside the machine begins to develop the ability to override
their system... The film also stars Samuel L. Jackson and Abbie
Cornish.
THE DEFINITIVE BOOK ON THE CHALLENGING NATURE OF PRODUCT MANAGEMENT
When consumers use a product or a service, the experience generates
an emotion. For those of us who create products or services, our
primary focus is on the customer, helping them achieve their
desired outcome and attempting to stimulate positive customer
emotions. However, in our relentless pursuit of satisfying customer
needs, many product people or "makers" fail to spend enough time
reflecting and managing our own emotions. "Managing Product =
Managing Tension" brings the pressures and unknowns inherent in
managing products to the fore and offers practical solutions about
how to harness them - ultimately turning them to your advantage in
order to help develop world-class products.
"If you think you're too small to make a difference, try sleeping
with a mosquito." - Dalai Lama In 2009, one nightshift spent on
duty at his emergency vet clinic changed everything for Marc
Abraham. Eight very sick puppies came in needing Marc's help. He
subsequently discovered they'd all been purchased from a pet shop
and had been born in the same cruel puppy farm. Since that fateful
night, no one could have ever predicted the impact those poorly
pups would have on the world of animal welfare, or indeed the
future of grassroots campaigning in the UK, and beyond. Fast
forward to June 2019 and over 10 years since Marc treated those
eight sick puppies and 'Lucy's Law', named after a rescued puppy
farm breeding dog whose pups were also sold through pet shops,
passed into law by the UK Government. It bans the selling of
puppies (and kittens) by pet shops and dealers, making all breeders
accountable. Now, in his new book, #BeMoreMosquito, Marc has put
together the ultimate guide for individuals to campaign for what
they believe in - no matter what their cause or belief. It shows
how YOU have the power to create change - and that YOUR voice
matters. He shares in detail his personal campaigning tips,
toolkit, and experiences from his own extraordinary journey, which
included over 300 visits to Westminster. From meeting MPs and
engaging with A-list celebrities, to the role of e-government
petitions and developing your own campaign brand, Marc helps guide
you through how to raise awareness, dispel myths, change public and
even corporate behaviour, and importantly, how to make that
all-important progress and influence legislation that can make our
world a better place, and all for free.
A loving look at one of the world's most maligned, misunderstood,
and fascinating insectsFamous foe of forestry professionals and
despised spreader of Dutch elm disease, bark beetles have a bad
reputation: the World's Worst Forest Pests. They chew through
timber profits and kill healthy trees, turning forests from carbon
sinks into carbon sources. But entomologist Jiri Hulcr sees more to
these evil weevils than meets the eye, and offers you a closer
look-literally. With science journalist Marc Abrahams, Hulcr offers
a funny and informative introduction to these under-studied and
underappreciated insects. This lively book turns cutting-edge
research into an enjoyable tour through the miniature world of a
charming critter. Vivid macrophotography captures every aspect of
bark beetle life in stunning detail, from their dramatic family
stories and curiously endearing looks to their mating strategies,
and the secret fungus farms where they cultivate their own
"ambrosia." You'll learn how much we don't know about bark
beetles-and what that means for science's attempts to control them
as climate change alters their habitats. Whether you're a scientist
seeking up-to-date pest management strategies or you're just
wondering if your backyard trees are at risk, this book will help
you better understand the latest discoveries in beetle symbioses,
molecular biology, and ecology. But be warned: at the end of this
read you may be filled with affection for these adorable and
astonishing beetles.
