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.
This beautiful pocket self-help book teaches us to notice three-second
glimmers of joy every day, to build resilience and deal with difficult
times.
In difficult times it's easy to get lost in the darkness – but this
beautiful pocket self-help book gives us the tools to find three-second
glimmers of joy every day, to build our resilience and keep us going.
Did you just taste something delicious? That was a glimmer. Notice the
way the light slanted in through the window? That was a glimmer.
Glimmers are easy to miss as they’re so brief and fleeting, but they
can help your mood shift, and lift. Finding them – uncovering them on
the commute, or while doing the same-old daily routine – is an art and
a skill. Looking for glimmers is a recognized mental health practice to
enable you to deal with the darkest days.
In this book, 12 thematic chapters each hold 30 or 31 beautiful
glimmers plus two aligned alternatives, amounting to one entry for
every day of the year – and more than 1,000 glimmers. Learn to notice
micro-moments of joy such as putting on a pair of new socks, stroking a
purring cat, popping a cork, walking up a hill and looking back at how
far you've come, finishing a jar, watching a rainbow brighten, sinking
your hands into earth, being told "no rush", reviving a dying fire, and
hundreds more.
With beautiful line-drawn illustrations, exercises to help you uncover
more joy, and reflections on the history and effects of glimmers, this
fun, fresh book is small enough to pop in your bag – but big enough to
expand your life.

A super-chic collection of 150 classic cocktail recipes created by
one-time Vogue drinks expert and man about town, Henry McNulty. The
Little Black Dress of cocktail books. Vogue is an internationally
prestigious luxury brand with an estimated international readership
of 12.5m. In 2012, Octopus began working with Conde Nast on British
Vogue and GQ-branded books. From the archives of British Vogue, the
classic cocktail book, for a new generation of discerning drinkers.
Vogue Cocktails is an exquisite collection of recipes compiled by
former British Vogue drinks aficionado and man-about-town, Henry
McNulty. Taking inspiration from the cocktail culture of the 1930s,
Vogue Cocktails contains 150 delectable recipes organized by base
spirit - Champagne, Gin, Vodka, Whisky, Rum and Brandies &
Other Spirits - to ensure a drink for every palate. The book also
contains essential information on stocking your bar and mixing
drinks, with wonderful, jazz-age-inspired illustrations by Graham
Palfrey-Rogers throughout.
This book explores three interlinked themes: the models and nature of organizational change; the implementation of Business Process Reengineering (BPR); and the management of contemporary public sector organizations. The authors describe and evaluate a BPR programme in a major NHS teaching hospital - its successes and its shortcomings.
By broadening the focus beyond classic English detective fiction,
the American hard-boiled crime novel and the gangster movie, Crime
Cultures breathes new life into staple themes of crime fiction and
cinema. Leading international scholars from the fields of literary
and cultural studies analyze a range of literature and film, from
neglected examples of film noir and true crime , crime fiction by
female African American writers, to reality TV, recent films such
as Elephant, Collateral and The Departed, and contemporary fiction
by J. G. Ballard, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Margaret Atwood. They offer
groundbreaking interpretations of new elements such as the
mythology of the hitman, technology and the image, and the cultural
impact of senseless murders and reveal why crime is a powerful way
of making sense of the broader concerns shaping modern culture and
society.
