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.
Do you know a teen that's been bitten by the acting bug? Here's
just the book they need! "Acting for Young Actors", aimed at teens
and tweens, lets kids hone their skills and develop their craft. It
begins with the five W's: Who am I? What do I want? Why do I want
it? Where am I? When does this event take place? Sounds basic - but
many young child actors are told simply to "get up there and act."
This book explores each of these questions, using helpful exercises
to allow young actors to work through problems of character
identity and motivation. With comprehensive chapters on
auditioning, rehearsal, and improvisation, plus a primer on how
young actors can break into film, theatre, and television, "Acting
for Young Actors" is every kid's ticket to the big time. It is
aimed at teens age 12-18, and is written in a full accessible
style.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
During recent decades, social inequalities have increased in many
urban spaces in the globalized world, and education has not been
immune to these tendencies. Urban segregation, migration movements
and education policies themselves have produced an increasing
process of school segregation between the most disadvantaged social
groups and the middle classes. Exploring school segregation
patterns in Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, England, France,
Peru, Spain, Sweden and the USA, this volume provides an overview
of the main characteristics and causes of school segregation, as
well as its consequences for issues such as education inequalities,
students' performance, social cohesion and intercultural contact.
The book is organized in three parts, with Part 1 exploring the
systemic dimensions of education inequalities that shape different
patterns of school segregation, and the extent to which public
policies have addressed this challenge. Part 2 focuses on the
consequences of school segregation on student performance and other
educational aspects, and the Part 3 explores how school segregation
dynamics are shaped by market forces and privatization of
education. Whilst focusing on different dimensions of school
segregation, each chapter explores the magnitude, trends and
consequences of school segregation, providing readers with a
comprehensive overview of the phenomenon and facilitating
cross-country comparisons. Moreover, the volume provides important
evidence about the dynamics and characteristics of school
segregation, which is key for the planning and implementation of
de-segregation policies.
This book focuses on software reuse and the chances, dependability

It also describes the combination of different states of software
in a E&E system in order to guarantee dependability of the
product to be resold.
Since at least the 19th century Hebrew Bible scholarship has
traditionally seen priests and prophets as natural opponents, with
different social spheres and worldviews. In recent years several
studies have started to question this perspective. The Priests in
the Prophets examines how the priests are portrayed in the Latter
Prophets and analyzes the relationship between priests and
prophets. The contributors also provide insights into the place of
priests, prophets, and some other religious specialists in
Israelite and Judean society in pre-exilic and post-exilic times.
An illustrated reader retelling the story of three friends standing
strong against bowing down to King Nebuchadnezzar's golden statue
even though they would be thrown into a fire. But God cares and
stood with them, helping them to have courage. A reassuring story
to help young children talk to parents or those who care for them
about situations when they need courage to face hard things, new
situations and doing the right thing, and that God can help make us
brave. The 'God cares' series provides a Biblical approach to
discussing emotions and behaviour with children to nurture an
attitude of wellness. Children at different ages approach things
differently in their stages of emotional development, so this
series works at two different levels: illustrated Readers aimed at
5-7 year olds and Chapter books aimed at 8+ years. Please note that
children progress at different reading abilities and stages of
emotional development so the age ranges are only a guide for
parents and carers. The Bible stories are retold reflecting on the
emotions and encourages children to discuss and relate this within
their situations. Sections at the back provide a reflective space
for children and practical advice for parents and carers. Debbie
Duncan, author of The Art of Daily Resilience and Brave, is a nurse
and a teacher, and mother of four children. She has considerable
insight into what constitutes resilience and bravery: the ability
to cope, to stay on course, to bounce back. In her books she
considers what is required for physical, mental, and spiritual
durability, interweaving biblical teaching, prayers, with personal
anecdote and sound advice. This she now applies specifically to
support parents and carers raising children.
Threads of globalization is an interdisciplinary volume that brings
fashion-specific garments, motifs, materials, and methods of
production into dialogue with gender and identity in various
cultures throughout Asia during the long twentieth century. It
examines how the shift from artisanal production to 'fast fashion'
over the past 150 years has devalued women’s textile labour and
how skilled textile/ garment makers and the organizations that
support them are preserving and reviving heritage traditions. It
also offers examples of how socially engaged artists in Asia and
the diaspora use their work to criticize labour and environmental
abuses in the global fashion industry. -- .
Nina and her dog find out if they have what it takes to be the
leader of the pack.
Insecurity, illiteracy, and insanity are the basic elements of Sid
Tate's deranged temperament. Locked away in a mental institution
for as long as he can remember, Sid is largely disconnected from
the outside world. His closed-minded beliefs are shaped by a group
of passionate doctors whose dedication to his wellbeing seems
incomparable. In turn, Sid's life is rendered one of illusionary
complacency.
When Darren, a mysterious counselor from the "Outside," enters
Sid's life, things drastically begin to change. Empowered by
Darren's wise words, Sid embarks on a hallucinatory journey for
spiritual freedom.
The ways in which Internet traffic is managed have direct
consequences on Internet users' rights as well as on their
capability to compete on a level playing field. Network neutrality
mandates to treat Internet traffic in a non-discriminatory fashion
in order to maximise end users' freedom and safeguard an open
Internet. This book is the result of a collective work aimed at
providing deeper insight into what is network neutrality, how does
it relates to human rights and free competition and how to properly
frame this key issue through sustainable policies and regulations.
The Net Neutrality Compendium stems from three years of discussions
nurtured by the members of the Dynamic Coalition on Network
Neutrality (DCNN), an open and multi-stakeholder group, established
under the aegis of the United Nations Internet Governance Forum
(IGF).
