(Stephen Graham) and Joseph (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), a giant of

manipulate Joseph into participating in a series of underground
cage fights from which Danny can profit. Salvation appears to call

escape the bloody world of gambling and fighting Danny has plunged

Rutger Hauer stars in this action comedy as a homeless man who
takes vigilantism to a new scale. Arriving in a new city, our hero
soon realises that it is a hotbed of crime and corruption presided
over by gang bosses and bent cops who will do nothing to deliver
justice. Armed robberies, prostitution and paedophilia are rife,
and the only obvious way to tackle the perpetrators is to take to
the streets with a 20-guage pump-action shotgun.

Doris Walker (Maureen O'Hara), an executive at Macy's department
store, believes in taking a common-sense approach to life and is
consequently raising her daughter Susan (Natalie Wood) not to
believe in Santa Claus. This year however, the convictions of both
mother and child are challenged when the kindly old man (Edmund
Gwenn) hired as the store Santa insists that he is in fact the real
thing. No one believes him, some even think he's insane, but he is
willing to go to court to prove his case. Oscars were won by Edmund
Gwenn (Best Supporting Actor) and George Seaton (Best Screenplay)
and the film was remade in 1994 with Richard Attenborough in the
lead.
Explore the mystical qualities of 45 crystals, gems and minerals,
with stunning images to colour that invoke their powerful meanings.
Exquisitely crafted by Kate O'Hara, each image showcases a crystal
in all its beauty and brings together elements of symbolism that
reflect its fascinating history and spiritual meaning. Each
intricate illustration sits opposite a page of accompanying text
that explores the multifaceted significance of each gem, the
guidance it might offer readers and tailored advice on the colours
to use. The text also features information about the chakras that
are associated with each of the crystals. A page of text at the
beginning of the book introduces readers to what a chakra is and
includes a summary of the body's seven main chakras. The back cover
features colour photos of all the crystals included in the book, so
readers know the exact colours of each crystal and can recreate
accurate depictions if they wish. All text and illustrations have
been checked and approved by an expert consultant. From a fierce
dragon protecting its pyrite stones and a bold lion with carnelians
erupting from its mane to a majestic sapphire-encrusted crown and a
mystical moonstone carving, the images in this book are an
empowering and creative introduction to crystal healing. Also

Two friends, cinema projectionist Emile (voiced by Jay Harrington)

monster that triggers panic on the city's streets. Spotting an
opportunity to further his political career, corrupt chief of
police Maynott (Danny Huston) immediately declares the beast Public
Enemy Number One and vows to slay it at all costs. But when

the creature, Emile and Raoul realise it may not be the ferocious
villain it seems. The supporting voice cast includes Bob Balaban,
Sean Lennon and Catherine O'Hara.
From the inimitable O'Hara sisters, Once Upon a Fairytale is a

this magical world, you can. You can choose to be a clever
princess, or a curious gingerbread man, or perhaps a gentle knight.
Maybe you'll live in a tree, or a tower on a hill. You can eat
fresh-buttered sunbeams with fairies, or newt pie and pigtail
pudding with ogres. Everywhere you look, you will find a new
adventure. Just pick the one you like best. A captivating book
where the child chooses the story they want to tell - empowering
children to become storytellers and weave their very own fairytale.

This ground-breaking and timely book explores how big data,
artificial intelligence and algorithms are creating new types of
agency, and the impact that this is having on our lives and the
rule of law. Addressing the issues in a thoughtful,
cross-disciplinary manner, the authors examine the ways in which
data-driven agency is transforming democratic practices and the
meaning of individual choice. Leading scholars in law, philosophy,
computer science and politics analyse the latest innovations in
data science and machine learning, assessing the actual and
potential implications of these technologies. They investigate how
this affects our understanding of such concepts as agency,
epistemology, justice, transparency and democracy, and advocate a
precautionary approach that takes the effects of data-driven agency
seriously without taking it for granted. Scholars and students of
law, ethics and philosophy, in particular legal, political and
democratic theory, will find this book a compelling and invaluable
read, as will computer scientists interested in the implications of
their own work. It will also prove insightful for academics and
activists working on privacy, fairness and anti-discrimination.

In an acting career of more than seventy years, Hollywood legend
Maureen O'Hara came to be known as "the queen of Technicolor" for
her fiery red hair and piercing green eyes. She had a reputation as
a fiercely independent thinker and champion of causes, particularly
those of her beloved homeland, Ireland. In "'Tis Herself, " O'Hara
recounts her extraordinary life and proves to be just as strong,
sharp, and captivating as any character she played on-screen.
O'Hara was brought to Hollywood as a teenager in 1939 by the great
Charles Laughton, to whom she was under contract, to costar with
him in the classic film The Hunchback of Notre Dame. She has
appeared in many other classics, including "How Green Was My
Valley, Rio Grande, The Quiet Man, " and "Miracle on 34th Street."
She recalls intimate memories of working with the actors and
directors of Hollywood's Golden Age, including Laughton, Alfred
Hitchcock, Tyrone Power, James Stewart, Henry Fonda, and John
Candy. With characteristic frankness, she describes her tense
relationship with the mercurial director John Ford, with whom she
made five films, and her close lifelong friendship with her
frequent costar John Wayne. Successful in her career, O'Hara was
less lucky in love until she met aviation pioneer Brigadier General
Charles F. Blair, the great love of her life, who died in a
mysterious plane crash ten years after their marriage.
Candid and revealing, "'Tis Herself" is an autobiography as witty
and spirited as its author.
Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) gets separated from his family
at Christmas time again. This time, they're in Florida and he's in
New York, and the two bumbling gangsters from 'Home Alone' (Joe
Pesci and Daniel Stern) are out of jail and on Kevin's trail.
Frank O'Hara (1926-66) is among the most delightful and radical
poets of the twentieth century. He is celebrated for his apparently
unpremeditated poems, autobiographical and immediate ('any time,
any place'). This is not the whole O'Hara: he may have scribbled
poems on serviettes, but others he worked on with intense
concentration, creating sequences that are inexhaustibly nuanced,
full of surprise, heartbreak and laughter. There are analogies
between his work and that of the painters he championed, Pollock,
Kline and de Kooning among them. He is resolutely metropolitan, and
his metropolis is New York City. He brilliantly captured the pace
and rhythms, quandaries and exhilarations, of its
mid-twentieth-century life.
