Forest Whitaker and Orlando Bloom star in this crime thriller written and directed by Jérôme Salle. When South African policemen Ali Sokhela and Brian Epkeen (Whitaker and Bloom) are tasked to investigate the murder of a young girl who has been brutally beaten to death on a Cape Town beach, they discover that there is far more to the story than they ever could have imagined. As they find themselves digging deeper into the dangerous territory of underground pharmaceutical companies, Ali and Brian, along with their colleague Dan Fletcher (Conrad Kemp), set about trying to take on some of the biggest names in South African crime.
Triple bill of crime dramas. In 'Bad Karma' (2012), starring Ray
Liotta and Dominic Purcell, a criminal's attempts to go straight
are sabotaged by his former partner. Relocating from Sydney to the
Gold Coast to start afresh, Molloy (Liotta) is remarkably
successful and even finds something approaching domestic bliss with
a new girlfriend. Naturally, when his old crime partner Mack
(Purcell) tracks him down he finds that Molloy is reluctant to
return to his past life. Unfortunately, this doesn't deter the
increasingly deranged Mack as he sets about convincing Molloy to
help him pull off one last job. In 'The Entitled' (2011) social
misfit Paul (Kevin Zegers) is driven to desperate measures when he
is turned down for yet another job and his ill mother is given a
foreclosure notice on the family home. He enlists the help of two
friends to abduct three kids from rich families and hold them
ransom for a million dollars each, but the plan goes badly wrong
and they soon find themselves in way over their heads. 'Officer
Down' (2012) follows Detective David Callahan (Stephen Dorff),
known as 'Cal' on the force, who has had a mixed career as a police
officer, struggling with drink problems and straying to the wrong
side of the law himself at times. When he finds himself caught up
in a murder investigation, Cal must attempt to overcome the demons
from his own past as well as the challenges of the case.
This book is about innovation ecosystems, Clusters of Innovation
(COI) and the Global Networks of Clusters of Innovation (GNCOI)
they naturally form. What is innovation and why is it important to
us? Innovation is nothing less than the ability for constructive
response and adaptation to change. The cause and catalyst for that
change is frequently identified as technology and its unceasing
pressure to improve on existing solutions and address unmet needs.
The last decade has painfully demonstrated that exogenous
environmental shocks are also sources of change that call for
innovative responses, ranging from the obvious challenges such as
global warming and Covid-19 to the more subtle social and political
perturbations of our time. Entrepreneurs, in collaboration with
venture investors and major corporations can create a flywheel of
constructive engagement, a cluster of Innovation, that helps build
the resiliency of our communities to adsorb and rebound from these
shocks. The process is enhanced when actively supported by
government, universities, and other elements of the ecosystem. This
book provides the tools for understanding this value creation
process and the means to enhance it, in both emerging and mature
innovation ecosystems. This book provides a framework for
understanding innovation in mature and emerging innovation
ecosystems to a wide swath of professionals and academics, from
senior executives of major corporations, government leaders, public
policy makers, and consultants, to academics, researchers, and
educators.

FOR SALE IN AFRICA ONLY Investigates what literary strategies
African writers adopt to convey the impact of climate
transformation and environmental change. This special issue
examines the ways fiction and poetry engage with environmental
consciousness, and how African literary criticism addresses the
implications of global environmental transformations. Does
environmentalist literature offer new possibilities for critical
thinking about the future? What constitutes environmentalist
fiction and poetry? What kind of texts, themes and topics does
climate writing include? Does any text in which the environment
features become available to environmentalist criticism? In their
engagement with the diverse genres, themes and frameworks through
which contemporary African writers address topics including
urbanisation, cross-species communication, nature and climate
change, contributors to this special issue help to define African
environmental writing. They look at the literary strategies adopted
by creative writers to convey the impact of environmental
transformationin narratives that are historically informed by a
century of colonialism, nationalist political activism,
urbanisation and postcolonial migration. How does environmental
literature intervene in these histories? Can creative writers, with
their powerfully post-human and cross-species imaginations, carry
out the ethical work demanded by contemporary climate science? From
Tanure Ojaide's and Helon Habila's attention to environmental
decimation in the Niger Delta through to Nnedi Okorafor's and Kofi
Anyidoho's imaginative cross-species encounters, the special issue
asks how literature mediates the specificities of climate change in
an era of global capitalism and technological transformation, and
what the limits of creative writing and literary criticism are as
tools for discussing environmental issues. Guest Editors: Cajetan
Iheka (Associate Professor of English, Yale University) and

Since 1626, Salem has had a rich history. Time has seen this small
city that was founded by Puritans adapt and push forward. It has
been the capital of the colony; the site of the witchcraft trials
of 1692; a thriving seaport; home to Revolutionary War privateers
and soldiers; an East India Seaport that opened trade with China;
an industrial center; and a tourist destination. Each age has
produced people of influence. They walked the city's lanes,
wharves, and streets as they pursued their dreams--people such as
Roger Conant, Salem's Puritan founder; Anne Bradstreet, the first
American poetess; Judge Sewell, the remorseful witchcraft judge;
Elias Derby, the first American millionaire; Samuel McIntyre, the
architect who changed the face of Salem; Nathaniel Hawthorne, a
great American author; and Frank Benson, the noted impressionist
painter. Ordinary people were and are legends, such as Caroline
Emmerton, a philanthropist who sought to save Salem's heritage;
David Goss, a historian and activist for Salem's past; Pep
Cornacchio, an extraordinary civic volunteer; and Joan Boudreau, a
preservationist restaurateur; as well as countless others.
Legendary Locals of Salem celebrates the eclectic and noteworthy
figures that have shaped and continue to shape the community.
Few words cannot adequately praise this scholarly and uplifting
work. Father Jerome Nyathi's treatise on the theology of priesthood
and the role of the Father in society is indeed a triumphant first
in its field. After an analysis of 'father' and 'priest-father' in
linguistic terms and in the broader African context, the author
moves on to examine paternalistic religions and a 'male' gendered
God, with reference to feminism and structuralist approaches. There
is also a section on the family and fatherhood - both in the
spiritual and biological sense - offering hope in the face of acute
challenges from materialism and the new culture of individualism.
The author asks, How can the Church claim to be a 'family in
Christ' and her workers in the field 'Fathers of a Christian family
when fathers and families have become stigmatised concepts?
Furthermore, the author gives well-researched answers to these
problems and discusses the call to priesthood with reference to
Presbyterorum Ordinis and other Vatican encyclicals. Here we find a
message full of intelligence, humanity and optimism, with excellent
advice for seminarians and working priest for the new millennium.

Celebrating Dior’s floral inspirations in fashion and perfume, this unique volume features a portfolio of rose portraits by acclaimed fashion photographer Nick Knight.
For Christian Dior, perfume was “a door opening into a hidden world.” His first, Miss Dior, inspired by the lush gardens of his childhood home in Normandy, forged an inextricable link between his fashion and fragrance creations. Other scents were inspired by evenings in southern France, lit with fireflies and scented with jasmine. The rose bowers of his family home in Granville; his old mill country house; and the Château de la Colle Noire near Grasse―where jasmine, tuberose, and May roses reign supreme and are still cultivated―inspired Dior’s most memorable creations.
Flowers were also at the heart of Dior’s fashion, from the women-flowers that inspired the late 1940s New Look to the swishing, blossom-like ball gowns embroidered with lavish floral motifs. They have inspired all of the designers who followed him at the House of Dior, from Yves St Laurent to John Galliano, and Raf Simons to Maria Grazia Chiuri.
This extraordinary volume blooms with color and inspiration, and includes rose portraits by Nick Knight, previously unpublished archival documents, exquisite details of embroidery and fabrics, perfumes, fashion sketches, and sublime fashion photographs.

Entrepreneurship and innovation are the drivers of value creation
in the twenty-first century. In the geography of the global economy
there are 'hot spots' where new technologies germinate at an
astounding rate and pools of capital, expertise, and talent foster
the development of new industries, and new ways of doing business.
These clusters of innovation have key attributes distinct from
traditional industrial clusters that allow them to extend beyond
geographic boundaries and serve as models for economic expansion in
both developed and developing countries. How do these clusters
emerge? What is the role of individual institutions such as
governments, universities, major corporations, investors, and the
individual entrepreneur? Are there systemic underpinnings, an
invisible hand, that encourage these communities? The book begins
with a presentation of the Clusters of Innovation Framework that
identifies the salient components, behaviors, and linkages that
characterize an innovation cluster, followed by an analysis of the
archetypal cluster, Silicon Valley. Subsequent chapters probe how
these characteristics apply in a diverse selection of economic
communities in Germany, Belgium, Spain, the United Kingdom, Israel,
Japan, Taiwan, China, Colombia, Mexico, and Brazil. Concluding
chapters investigate the role of transregional organizations as
cross-border disseminators of best practices in entrepreneurship
and innovation. Students and professors of economics, business,
public policy, management, entrepreneurship, and innovation will
find this book a useful resource. Corporate executives, university
administrators, government officials, policy makers, and
entrepreneurs will also find it an insightful guide. Contributors:
