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.

Prophets aren't sharpened in an instant. They must go through a
"making" process to shape their character and burn off their
impurities through experiencing the ways of God. As you explore
your prophetic calling, you will understand your prophetic
mission--and what it takes to progress through each level on your
way to fulfilling your God-given destiny. In Becoming a Next-Level
Prophet, author, speaker, and apostolic prophet Jennifer LeClaire
encourages and challenges you to sharpen your prophetic edge
through obedience, willingness, humility, selflessness, prayer,
warfare, holiness, faithfulness, and accountability. She urges you
to mature in your anointing and to be a good steward of the gifts
with which God has entrusted you, pointing more people to Jesus. As
spiritual warfare increases and the world is in desperate need for
the clear voice of God, it is crucial that his prophets rise up
with power and maturity.

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.
Hood drama follows single dad trying to retrieve abducted son.
Former gang-banging single dad O2 (Tyrese Gibson) is suddenly
plunged into a do-or-die situation; trying to go straight for his
son, Junior's sake, this recently paroled ex-con is forced to go
back outside the law after his son is kidnapped in a carjacking.
The resulting chase and shootout have left Junior in the hands of
Meat (The Game), the vicious leader of the Outlaw Syndicate. O2's
shady cousin Lucky (Larenz Tate) tries to mediate, but is torn
between criminal and family loyalties. The only person willing to
help O2 get his son back is wily street-smart hustler Coco (Meagan
Good), whose path fatefully crossed O2's just moments before the
kidnapping. When Lucky gets word to O2 that Meat expects $100,000
for Junior's freedom, O2 and Coco seize the opportunity to pit
rival elements of the South Los Angeles underworld against each
other. 'It's either all or nothing,' realizes O2. With the clock
ticking down, the heat between O2 and Coco rises as they become a
lawbreaking couple, on a tear through a range of Los Angeles
neighborhoods. Can they outwit the underworld and save Junior and
themselves?

Talesia, Tarn Astaldian picks a group of deranged masochists, a
chronic depressive and a ruddy mushroom freak to be his disciples.
This is going to turn the Church into a damned laughing-stock!"
Corison shrugged. "What's wrong with mushrooms?" "That's it! I'm
joining the 'cult of the golden sandal'!" Clarin sighed heavily.
"It may be a load of rubbish, but at least you don't get dragged
into an enemy stronghold dressed in a bloody potato sack!" The
Avatar Flame, a priceless sapphire and religious relic, has been
stolen and talk of war is festering in the cities. But war is the
least of Talesia's problems, as a plot unfolds to use the magical
energy in the Flame to release an evil necromancer from the demon
realm. The fate of humanity now rests in the hands of an assassin
and a Lieutenant of the Locris City Guard sworn to track him down.
In a desperate race against time they must attempt to recover the

the Black Shield before they can, literally, unleash Hell. An
hilarious, fast-paced fantasy novel with a razor-sharp plot that

Academic success for African American boys' in Special Education is
frequently elusive as the United States continues to endure the
legacy of academic discrimination (Blanchett, 2010; Skiba et al.,
2008). Consequently, educational policies have not fully protected
the equal rights or adequately responded to the learning needs of
students' academic shortcomings or taken advantage of their
strengths (Parkinson & Rowan, 2008; Tatum, 2005). This
persistent reading gap has not closed in generations, which is
deeply harmful to our American democracy (Wolf, 2019). With every
passing year that goes by without alleviating problems affecting
the reading gap, the damage is costly, and no failure is more
expensive than the failure to educate African American males in the
PK-12 pipeline (Robinson & Thompson 2019). The danger to our
students becomes more critical each year, and these are problems
that are deeply rooted in America. And, while teachers cannot
change the past, we can, and must, change the special education
system that shapes the future of students. Thus, a reader's
identity becomes shaped by the intersection of factors that are
both inherent and neurologically based, and factors that arise as a
result of one's home and academic environment (Hoyles & Hoyles,
2010; Robinson, Ford, Ellis, & Hartlep, 2016; Wolf, 2007).
Reading instruction must be culturally relevant which can
strengthen the reader's identity and capacity for critical thinking
(Arya & Feathers, 2012; Flowers, 2007; Robinson, 2017).
Critical literacy is grounded in the sociocultural perspective and
way of thinking about curriculum, literacies, and honoring
students' lived experiences, especially within the contexts of
Special Education (Brooks, 2006; Gay, 2002; Norman, 2011). This
edited book will fill a needed gap in scholarly research, as
manuscripts adopts a critical analysis that brings together the
latest theoretical, conceptual, quantitative, qualitative, and
mixed methods research studies. Chapters will have clear and
explicit implications for educational practice and make a
significant contribution to the field of special education and
reading instruction.
Public Responses to Fossil Fuel Export provides wide-ranging
theoretical and methodological international contributions on the
human dimensions of fossil fuel export, with a distinctive focus on
exporting countries, some of which are new entrants into the
marketplace. What do members of the public think about exporting
fossil fuels in places where it is happening? What do they see as
its main risks and benefits? What connections are being made to
climate change and the impending energy transition? How have
affected communities responded to proposals related to fossil fuel
export, broadly defined to include transport by rail, pipeline, and
ship? Contributions to the work are presented in three parts. The
first part synopsizes the background of the project, outlines major
social science theories and relevant previous research, and
identifies global trends in energy production. Regional and
national case studies related to public opinion on fossil fuel
export are included in part two of the manuscript. Part three
highlights community-based case studies. Implications for research
and practice feature in the concluding chapter.
