What results is a thrilling, all-consuming romance as Christian and Ana test the limits they will go to for their relationship.
Double bill of romantic dramas based on the novels by E.L. James.
In 'Fifty Shades of Grey' (2015), demure literature student Ana
Steele (Dakota Johnson), who, as a favour to her friend Kate
(Eloise Mumford), meets up with the handsome and enigmatic
businessman Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) for an interview. Very
quickly, an attraction grows between the pair and Ana realises a
need to become close to Christian. However, with Christian's need
to maintain complete control over everything in his life including
his sexual partners, Ana finds there is much more to him than meets
the eye. In 'Fifty Shades Darker' (2017), Ana and Christian
separate after Ana experiences difficulty accepting Christian's
romantic past. When she is offered a position at a publishing house
in Seattle she accepts, but is left wondering if splitting up with
Christian was the right thing to do. Things then take an unexpected
turn when a hurting Christian turns up in Seattle and convinces Ana
to resume their relationship on her terms. However, as the couple
give their romance another shot, a number of ghosts from
Christian's past threaten to ruin their future together once more.

Who knew shapes could be so much fun? Respected art professor IVAN
BRUNETTI still remembers the fun he had playing with shapes
as a kid. In the hands of the author/artist of Wordplay, 3x4, and
Comics: Easy as ABC, shapes explode, divide, and multiply, offering
young readers a basic yet exciting art and math lesson. Kids will
laugh as they learn—and will also see the world in a new way.
Brunetti deftly highlights the nature and logic of shapes, laying a
foundation for geometry and illustration for readers of all ages!
In this book, leading international experts analyze
state-of-the-art advances in gene transfer vectors for applications
in inherited disorders and also examine the toxicity profiles of
these methods. The authors discuss the strengths and weaknesses of
available vectors in the clinical setting, and specifically focus
on the challenges and possible solutions that researchers are
testing in order to improve the safety of gene therapy for genetic
diseases. This comprehensive and authoritative overview of vector
development is a necessary text for researchers, toxicologists,
pharmacologists, molecular biologists, physicians, and students in
these fields.
Go "outside," "elsewhere," and down the "rabbit hole" with this
hilarious introduction to compound words. Young readers will fall
in love with the English language as they watch star cartoonist
Ivan Brunetti put his sly spin on vocabulary. The lesson here? Even
"homework" is fun when you let yourself play with the words.
This text focuses on the algebraic formulation of quantum field
theory, from the introductory aspects to the applications to
concrete problems of physical interest. The book is divided in
thematic chapters covering both introductory and more advanced
topics. These include the algebraic, perturbative approach to
interacting quantum field theories, algebraic quantum field theory
on curved spacetimes (from its structural aspects to the
applications in cosmology and to the role of quantum spacetimes),
algebraic conformal field theory, the Kitaev's quantum double model
from the point of view of local quantum physics and constructive
aspects in relation to integrable models and deformation
techniques. The book is addressed to master and graduate students
both in mathematics and in physics, who are interested in learning
the structural aspects and the applications of algebraic quantum
field theory.
What will business software look like in the future? And how
will it be developed?
This book covers the proceedings of the first international
conference on Future Business Software - a new think tank
discussing the trends in enterprise software with speakers from
Europe's most successful software companies and the leading
research institutions. The articles focus on two of the most
prominent trends in the field: emergent software and agile
development processes.
"Emergent Software" is a new paradigm of software development
that addresses the highly complex requirements of tomorrow's
business software and aims at dynamically and flexibly combining a
business software solution's different components in order to
fulfill customers' needs with a minimum of effort. Agile
development processes are the response of software technology to
the implementation of diverse and rapidly changing software
requirements. A major focus is on the minimization of project
risks, e.g. through short, iterative development cycles,
test-driven development and an intensive culture of
communication."
This volume centres on the issues surrounding the likely economic
impact that EU membership has on joining nations, with the main
emphasis on new issues and methods. Given the significantly greater
level of economic integration that now exists in the EU, accession
brings up a host of issues that either did not arise or were of
secondary importance during earlier enlargement waves. For
instance, EU membership now entails eventual membership in the
monetary union. This raises a series of new issues such as interest
rate convergence, exchange rate stability and the loss of
sovereignty over monetary policy. Additionally, these macro issues
interact with micro issues such as export performance, capital
formation and foreign direct investment (FDI). Migration,
unemployment and foreign direct investment are further issues that
acquire a magnified importance for the prospective entrants. All of
these questions are treated in the contributions in Economic Impact
of EU Membership on Entrants: New Methods and Issues that should be
of particular interest to academics as well as decisionmakers in
prospective member countries. Richard E. Baldwin worked for the
Institute of International Studies. He was a Senior Staff Economist
for the President's Council of Economic Advisors in the Bush
Administration (1990-1991) and has advised the European Commission
on several integration issues. He has also worked in the past for
the European Commission, EFTA, the OECD, the FCO, the World Bank,
USAID and UNCTAD. From 1991 to 2001 he was Co-Director of the
International Trade Programme of the Centre for Economic Policy
Research. His areas of specialisations are international trade,
regional integration, andeconomic geography. Before coming to
Geneva in May 1991, he was a professor at Columbia University
Business School, having done his PhD in economics at MIT, an MSc at
LSE, and a first degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Aymo Brunetti is Head of Economic Analysis in the State Secretariat
of Economic Affairs of the Federal Department of Economic Affairs,
Switzerland. In addition, he is Professor of Economics at the
University of Basel and teaches at the University of Bern,
Switzerland.
Why have the economies of some developing countries fallen back
while others have advanced? Why have so many stabilization and
structural adjustment programs failed to deliver growth dividends?
This book shows that there is a common and valid answer: political
credibility defined as the predictability of the institutional
rules of the game. This case is not only argued theoretically but
also found to be confirmed by empirical analysis. Ten case studies
pitting Latin American countries against Southeast Asian ones
reveal the sources of political credibility. Economic openness is
the necessary precondition, long-term reputation or democratic
participation the sufficient one. Despite the seemingly superior
strength of authoritarian reputation democratic control is the more
successful road.
Who knew shapes could be so much fun? Now a respected art professor
and cartoonist, IVAN BRUNETTI still remembers the fun he had
playing with shapes as a kid. In the hands of the author/artist of
Wordplay, 3x4, and Comics: Easy as ABC, shapes explode, divide, and
multiply, offering young readers a basic yet exciting art and math
lesson. Kids will laugh as they learn�and it will also change the
way they see the world.
Annemarie and her clever classmates have to draw sets of twelve and
use their imagination to come up with creative solutions. Young
readers will delight in the counting game while learning the basics
of multiplication. Star cartoonist Ivan Brunetti's ingenious and
fun-to-read comic turns everyone into a math whiz!
Adenoviruses are double stranded DNA viruses that have been used to
study the process of DNA replication. Studies of the mode of action
of adenovirally produced tumors in rodents led to the discovery of
tumour supressor genes. The adenoviral vector is now the most used
vector in clinical gene therapy especially for some kinds of
cancers. The chapters in this book focus on the most up-to-date
developments in the therapeutic applications of adenoviruses. The
intended audience is individuals in the Life Sciences interested in
therapeutic applications of adenoviruses. This book reviews the
life history and immune responses to adenoviruses and summarizes
various therapies implemented with the use of adenoviruses.
