The Internship (2013)
Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson star as two former salesmen who, never having
managed to come to grips with the digital age, are left high and
dry when their employer suddenly decides to call it a day. Staking
everything on one last throw of the dice, the pair, defying all the
odds, somehow manage to get themselves accepted onto a coveted
internship at tech giants Google. But will they be able to keep up
the facade once they take up their positions?
The Watch (2012)
Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade star as a group of
friends who form a neighbourhood watch group. While Evan Trautwig, a newcomer to the suburban neighbourhood, may have a
legitimate reason for forming a crime watch group following the
recent murder of a friend, it is clear that for most of the men
ulterior motives are at work. Indeed, Bob Finnerty seems
to spend a lot more time examining the dating habits of his
daughter, Chelsea, than he does looking for
threats. However, when the men stumble across what appears to be an
alien plan to destroy humankind, they understand where their
responsibilities lie and set out to counter the threat.

Writer/director Guy Ritchie continues in mockney gangster vein with
this follow-up to his 1998 hit 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking
Barrels'. In London, en route to deliver a stolen diamond to his
employer Avi (Dennis Farina), thief Franky Four Fingers (Benicio
Del Toro) is ambushed by Russian mobster Boris the Blade (Rade
Sherbedgia). At the same time, boxing promoters Turkish (Jason
Statham) and Tommy (Stephen Graham) enter Irish gypsy fighter
Mickey (Brad Pitt) in a fight run by local kingpin Brick Top (Alan
Ford). Instead of throwing the fight as arranged, Mickey earns
Brick Top's enmity by beating his opponent fair and square.
Meanwhile, Avi travels to London and hires Bullet Tooth Tony
(Vinnie Jones) to track down Franky and the diamond - which Brick
Top has now found out about and decided to appropriate from Boris!

A cutting-edge appraisal of revolution and its future. On
Revolutions, co-authored by six prominent scholars of revolutions,
reinvigorates revolutionary studies for the twenty-first century.
Integrating insights from diverse fields-including civil resistance
studies, international relations, social movements, and
terrorism-they offer new ways of thinking about persistent problems
in the study of revolution. This book outlines an approach that
reaches beyond the common categorical distinctions. As the authors
argue, revolutions are not just political or social, but they
feature many types of change. Structure and agency are not mutually
distinct; they are mutually reinforcing processes. Contention is
not just violent or nonviolent, but it is usually a mix of both.
Revolutions do not just succeed or fail, but they achieve and
simultaneously fall short. And causal conditions are not just
domestic or international, but instead, they are dependent on the
interplay of each. Demonstrating the merits of this approach
through a wide range of cases, the authors explore new
opportunities for conceptual thinking about revolution, provide
methodological advice, and engage with the ethical issues that
exist at the nexus of scholarship and activism.
Written by international experts in this field, the book describes
the principles of, and presents case studies for, the wide range of
tomographic imaging techniques that can be used in the process
industries. It includes sufficient introductory material
to this multi-disciplinary subject in order that readers from a
variety of backgrounds will be able to fully understand the
fundamental principles and features of the sensors and image
reconstruction techniques needed for process tomography.
Many years after the United States initiated a military response to
the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, the nation continues
to prosecute what it considers an armed conflict against
transnational terrorist groups. Understanding how the law of armed
conflict applies to and regulates military operations executed
within the scope of this armed conflict against transnational
non-state terrorist groups is as important today as it was in
September 2001. In The War on Terror and the Laws of War seven
legal scholars, each with experience as military officers, focus on
how to strike an effective balance between the necessity of using
armed violence to subdue a threat to the nation with the
humanitarian interest of mitigating the suffering inevitably
associated with that use. Each chapter addresses a specific
operational issue, including the national right of self-defense,
military targeting and the use of drones, detention, interrogation,
trial by military commission of captured terrorist operatives, and
the impact of battlefield perspectives on counter-terror military
operations, while illustrating how the law of armed conflict
influences resolution of that issue. This Second Edition carries on
the critical mission of continuing the ongoing dialogue about the
law from an unabashedly military perspective, bringing practical
wisdom to the contentious topic of applying international law to
the battlefield.

pursued through space by the Imperial Agent Kallus (David Oyelowo).

Glenn Beck, the New York Times bestselling author of The Great
Reset, returns with his contemporary adaptation of The Federalist
Papers with the inclusion of his own commentary and annotations to
help readers interpret and understand the Constitution. Glenn Beck
revisited Thomas Paine's famous pre-Revolutionary War call to
action in his #1 New York Times bestseller Glenn Beck's Common
Sense. Now he brings his historical acumen and political savvy to
this fresh, new interpretation of The Federalist Papers, the
18th-century collection of political essays that defined and shaped
our Constitution and laid bare the "original argument" between
states' rights and big federal government-a debate as relevant and
urgent today as it was at the birth of our nation. Adapting a
selection of these essential essays-pseudonymously authored by the
now well-documented triumvirate of Alexander Hamilton, James
Madison, and John Jay-for a contemporary audience, Glenn Beck has
had them reworked into "modern" English so as to be thoroughly
accessible to anyone seeking a better understanding of the Founding
Fathers' intent and meaning when laying the groundwork of our
government. Beck provides his own illuminating commentary and
annotations and, for a number of the essays, has brought together
the viewpoints of both liberal and conservative historians and
scholars, making this a fair and insightful perspective on the
historical works that remain the primary source for interpreting
Constitutional law and the rights of American citizens.
