Never Again - Jake Wallis Simons
When seen through Jewish eyes, the global future looks darker than it has for generations. Fuelled by venomous Israelophobia, violence against Jews, from Amsterdam to New York, from London to Melbourne, is back. Jews across the West are forced to hide their identities, while in the supposed safe haven of Israel they live under constant threat of rocket fire, shootings and stabbings. To make matters worse, in the United States and across Europe, digitally-fuelled nationalist chauvinism is on the march. It is no exaggeration to say that we are seeing the end of the golden age of post-war safety for Jews.This speaks volumes about the health of the West. Although Jews are among the first in the firing-line, liberal democracy itself is under threat from radicals on both sides of the political spectrum. Unforgivably, we have spent decades undermining our own values of patriotism and tradition, loyalty to peoplehood and homeland, a belief in borders and our peculiar religious and cultural sensibilities. These instincts, which had anchored human society since the dawn of history, were repressed in the name of Never Again; but they slowly gave birth to the opposite.Never Again? How the West betrayed the Jews and itself is an urgent new polemic from the author of the acclaimed Israelophobia, which discloses the social and historical causes of the maze of hostility in which Jews are now trapped. Charting the development of this dangerous cultural and geopolitical moment through a collapse in Western leadership since the Second World War, the award-winning columnist, broadcaster and foreign correspondent Jake Wallis Simons offers a searing analysis of the state of the West, arguing that we must remember our older values and stand up for them before it is too late.Praise for IsraelophobiaTelegraph book of the year''An important and necessary book by a superb and subtle writer'' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE''Important, trenchant and original'' DANIEL FINKELSTEIN''It does the heart good to see one of the greatest expressions of collective animus exposed for the sanctimonious posturing it is.

The Simons of Manchester
The Simons of Manchester revives the history of one of ManchesterÂ’s most influential families, the Simons. The book investigates the lives and public work of Henry and Emily Simon, and Ernest and Shena Simon. Through philanthropy and work in social reform, the two generations of the Simons greatly enriched ManchesterÂ’s cultural and civic institutions, worked to improve the lives of its citizens, and helped to spearhead profound national reforms in health, housing, planning and education. While many people in Manchester are familiar with the Simon name through Shena Simon College, Simonsway, and the Simon Building at the University of Manchester, there is scant public knowledge of who the Simons were and their legacy. As such, this edited volume of collected essays aims to illuminate their fascinating lives and public service to rehabilitate the Simons and examine their local and national significance.An electronic edition of this book is freely available under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND) licence.

Algorithms for the People - Josh Simons
How to put democracy at the heart of AI governanceArtificial intelligence and machine learning are reshaping our world. Police forces use them to decide where to send police officers, judges to decide whom to release on bail, welfare agencies to decide which children are at risk of abuse, and Facebook and Google to rank content and distribute ads. In these spheres, and many others, powerful prediction tools are changing how decisions are made, narrowing opportunities for the exercise of judgment, empathy, and creativity. In Algorithms for the People, Josh Simons flips the narrative about how we govern these technologies. Instead of examining the impact of technology on democracy, he explores how to put democracy at the heart of AI governance. Drawing on his experience as a research fellow at Harvard University, a visiting research scientist on Facebook’s Responsible AI team, and a policy advisor to the UK’s Labour Party, Simons gets under the hood of predictive technologies, offering an accessible account of how they work, why they matter, and how to regulate the institutions that build and use them. He argues that prediction is political: human choices about how to design and use predictive tools shape their effects. Approaching predictive technologies through the lens of political theory casts new light on how democracies should govern political choices made outside the sphere of representative politics. Showing the connection between technology regulation and democratic reform, Simons argues that we must go beyond conventional theorizing of AI ethics to wrestle with fundamental moral and political questions about how the governance of technology can support the flourishing of democracy.

On se pro ni vzdal trůnu, ona se pro něj vzdala všehoPíše se rok 1928. Do Londýna přijíždí cizinka středního věku a průměrného vzhledu, bez prostředků a bez známostí. První měsíce v Londýně prožívá Wallis v pocitu hlubokého osamění a nudy, a tak prchá do světa bulváru, který ji neúnavně zásobuje zprávami o okouzlující londýnské vyšší společnosti.Když už po nějaké době ztratí veškerou naději, že by se její život mohl zásadním způsobem změnit, začne se karta jejího štěstí obracet a události dostanou rychlý spád. Díky nečekané shodě okolností se ocitne na domácím večírku s princem z Walesu, kterého nesmírně zaujme a její hvězda začne prudce stoupat. Pro prince trpícího svázaností zkostnatělého anglického dvora je její zjevení jako závan čerstvého vzduchu. Přátelství mezi nimi je stále intenzivnější a hlubší, až jednoho dne nevyhnutelně přeroste… v lásku. Wallis se s novým nadšením vrhne do víru světa dříve jen těžko představitelného luxusu a privilegií a užívá si společně se svým princem nádherné víkendy v jeho soukromé pevnosti Belvedere.Když náhle skoná Jiří V., zdá se, že jejich osud je zpečetěn: z prince z Walesu se stává král Eduard VIII. a kola dějinných nevyhnutelností se začala roztáčet. Wallis se ocitá v pasti. Eduard se kvůli ní chce vzdát trůnu, ale veřejnost ji viní z toho, že Eduarda ukradla celé Anglii. Je nežádoucí osobou číslo jedna, zlotřilou a prohnanou stvůrou, již všichni obviňují…Byla to láska tak silná, že se král zřekl svého trůnu – a to všechno kvůli té ženě. Nebo to byla jen úniková cesta pro monarchu, který nikdy nechtěl vládnout? Autorka bestsellerů Wendy Holdenová vám přiblíží jeden z nejznámějších skandálů 20. století!

Neviditelná gorila - Christopher Chabris, Daniel Simons
Psychologové Daniel Simons a Christopher Chabris na sklonku 90. let uskutečnili sérii rozverných pokusů s fenoménem slepoty z nepozornosti a dokázali, že naše mysl nefunguje tak, jak si myslíme a že to má dalekosáhlé praktické důsledky. Jejich výzkum vstoupil do dějin psychologie jako Test neviditelné gorily. V této knize shrnují své poznání: na živých příkladech, stovkách pozoruhodných experimentů i každodenních zkušenostech ukazují, jak si s námi naše mysl zahrává. Kombinují práci jiných vědců s vlastními poznatky o pozornosti, vnímání, paměti a uvažování, aby odhalili, jak nás chybné intuice často dostávají do problémů. Ve skutečnosti nám toho hodně uniká. Přesvědčivá, překvapivá, zábavná a myšlenkově mimořádná kniha nutí čtenáře přehodnotit své přesvědčení o vlastním vnímání světa. Chabrisovy a Simonsovy experimenty se staly klasikou a jejich vliv sahá daleko za hranice psychologie, což má důsledky pro naše chápání vědomí a racionality. Jak může policista proběhnout kolem brutálního útoku, aniž by ho viděl? Proč se vracejí spalničky? Proč by se manažeři mohli hodně naučit od meteorologů?Autoři jsou kognitivní psychologové, kteří získali ocenění za svůj výzkum v širokém spektru témat. Neviditelná gorila se stala jedním z nejznámějších experimentů v celé psychologii.

The Great Post Office Scandal - Nick Wallis
The Great Post Office Scandal is the extraordinary story behind the recent ITV drama series Mr Bates vs The Post Office. It tells of how thousands of subpostmasters were accused of theft and false accounting on the back of evidence from Horizon, the flawed computer system designed by Fujitsu, and how a group of them, led by Alan Bates, took their fight to the High Court. Their eventual victory in court vindicated their claims about the defects of the software and exposed the heavy handed attempts by the Post Office to suppress them. The book also recounts how successive senior managers, business leaders, lawyers, civil servants and Government ministers, at best failed to expose the injustice or, even worse, sought to cover it up, resulting in one of the largest miscarriages of justice in UK history. The author, Nick Wallis, is a journalist and broadcaster who has been reporting on the scandal for over ten years and who acted as script consultant on Mr Bates vs The Post Office, the ITV drama that brought the affair into the national consciousness.As the public inquiry reaches its climax, and senior figures such as Paula Vennells come to be questioned, The Great Post Office Scandal reveals the full scale of what happened and how so many of our trusted institutions allowed the saga to go on for nearly a quarter of a century, shattering the lives of thousands of innocent people.

South Wales and West Wales Buses in the Early 1960s - Philip Wallis
Philip Wallis visited South and West Wales several times with his camera between 1961 and 1963 and captured on film a great variety of bus operators in that part of the country. Civic pride was strong and no less than seven municipal undertakings ran bus services in the coal-mining valleys of Glamorganshire and Monmouthshire, while capital city Cardiff and port town Newport each had their own large Corporation Transport Departments, with Cardiff maintaining the only Welsh trolleybus network at that time. Six British Electric Traction group companies operated in the area with fleet sizes ranging from the thirty-four vehicles of Neath & Cardiff Luxury Coaches to 674 buses and coaches with Western Welsh. British Transport Commission-controlled Red & White and United Welsh were significant in parts of the territory, adding variety by still running AEC, Albion, Guy and Leyland buses before sale to the BTC led to standardisation on Bristol buses. The tentacles of the mighty Crosville empire stretched down to Cardigan in far West Wales. Independent operation, using diverse new and second-hand buses, was strong across both industrial South Wales and rural West Wales.This book profiles many of the operators and illustrates their vehicles through 180 colour and monochrome images, mostly previously unpublished.

The Egyptian Book of the Dead: The Papyrus of Ani - Sir E. A. Wallis Budge
The Egyptian Book of the Dead is unquestionably one of the most influential books in all history. Embodying a ritual to be performed for the dead, with detailed instructions for the behaviors of the disembodied spirit in the Land of the Gods, it served as the most important repository of religious authority for some three thousand years. Chapters were carved on the pyramids of the ancient 5th Dynasty, texts were written in papyrus, and selections were painted on mummy cases well into the Christian Era. In a certain sense it stood behind all Egyptian civilization.In the year 1888, Dr. E. Wallis Budge, then purchasing agent for the British Museum, followed rumors he heard of a spectacular archeological find in Upper Egypt, and found in an 18th Dynasty tomb near Luxor "the largest roll of papyrus I had ever seen, tied with a thick band of papyrus, and in a perfect state of preservation." It was a copy of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, written around 1500 B.C. for Ani, Royal Scribe of Thebes, Overseer of the Granaries of the Lords of Abydos, and Scribe of the Offerings of the Lord of Thebes.This Papyrus of Ani, a full version of the Theban recension, is presented here by Dr. Budge, who later became perhaps the world''s most renowned Egyptologist. Reproduced in full are a clear copy of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, an interlinear transliteration of their sounds (as reconstructed), a word-for-word translation, and separately a complete smooth translation. All this is preceded by an introduction of more than 150 pages. As a result of this multiple apparatus the reader has a unique opportunity to savor all aspects of the Book of the Dead, or as it is otherwise known, The Book of the Great Awakening.

In the end, it all ends up in the same place – the endless ingenuity of humanity in one filthy, fascinating mass.' When we throw things ‘away’, what does that actually mean? Where does it go, and who deals with it when it gets there? In Wasteland, award-winning journalist Oliver Franklin-Wallis takes us on an eye-opening journey through the global waste industry. From the mountainous landfills of New Delhi to Britain’s overflowing sewers, from hollowed-out mining towns in the USA to Ghana’s flooded second-hand markets, we meet the people on the frontline of our waste crisis – both those being exploited, and those determined to make a difference. On the way, we discover the corporate greenwashing that started the recycling movement; the dark truth behind our second-hand donations; and come face to face with the 10,000-year legacy of our nuclear waste. Both shocking and hopeful, Wasteland is the timely and ultimately human story at the heart of an urgent global issue.

Essex Buses in the 1960s and Early 1970s - Philip Wallis
Essex held great fascination for bus enthusiasts in the 1960s and early 1970s. Eastern National operated right across the county, Daimlers and Leylands acquired from Westcliff-on-Sea Motor Services in 1955 and Guy Arabs taken over with Moore Brothers business in 1963 added variety to its fleet of Bristol-built buses. North Essex was a hive of independent activity, fleets such as those of Hedingham & District and Osborne’s of Tollesbury contained many interesting second-hand buses. Eastern Counties operated from Suffolk into north Essex. An eclectic mixture of vehicles provided municipal services at Colchester and at Southend, where services were fully coordinated with Eastern National. London Transport and Green Line services intermixed with Eastern National services in south Essex, where extraordinary independent Super Coaches also ran some bus routes.Philip Wallis chronicles the great variety of operators and buses to be found in Essex in the period before National Bus Company standardisation set in with a fascinating selection of images.

Mamma Mia! 2: Here We Go Again (BLU-RAY)
Přidejte se k oslavám, zpěvu a tanci, abyste zjistili, jak to všechno začalo. Užijte si perfektní HD obraz a čistý digitální zvuk s BLU-RAY filmem Mamma Mia! 2: Here We Go Again (2018). Je to přesně deset let, co muzikál Mamma Mia! zboural kina po celém světě. Sice to trvalo relativně dlouho, zato v pokračování Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again dostanete hned dva příběhy v jednom! S prvním příběhem se vrátíme do časů, kdy byla Donna (Meryl Streep a Lily James) čerstvou absolventkou univerzity, chtěla poznávat svět a netušila, že brzy narazí na tři civilizované mladíky a jeden necivilizovaný řecký ostrov a totálně se jí změní život. Druhý příběh se odehrává přesně deset let po událostech prvního dílu, kdy zcestovalejší a moudřejší Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) plánuje velkolepé znovuotevření rodinného hotelu na Kalokairi, na které se samozřejmě sjedou všichni „obvyklí podezřelí“, včetně trojice jejích charismatických tatínků (Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth a Stellan Skarsgard). Oba příběhy se rafinovaně proplétají a propojují písničkami švédského hudebního zázraku jménem ABBA, ať už novými aranžemi kousků, které zazněly už v minulém díle, nebo hity, na něž se předtím nedostalo.Bonusy: • Vynechané písně a scény s komentářem režiséra/autora scénáře Ola Parkera (bez cz podpory) • Komentář režiséra/autora scénáře Ola Parkera a producentky Judy Craymer (bez cz podpory) • Setkání s Cher (cz titulky) • Písně k zazpívání (cz titulky) • Příběh (cz titulky) • MAMMA MIA!

All the Men I've Loved Again - Pride Christine
From Christine Pride, the beloved coauthor of the Good Morning America Book Club Pick We Are Not Like Them, comes a dazzling solo debut novel about a woman who finds herself in the impossible situation of being in love with the same two men who won her heart in her early twenties again as she nears forty. It’s 1999, TLC’s “No Scrubs” is topping the charts, y2k is looming on everyone’s mind, and Cora Belle has arrived at college ready to change her life. She’s determined to grow out of the shy, sheltered girl who attended an all-white prep in her all-white suburb. Cora is ready to conquer her fears and find her people, her place in the world, and herself. What she’s totally unprepared for is Lincoln, with his dark skin, charming southern drawl, and that smile. Because how can you ever prepare yourself for the rollercoaster of first love with all its glorious, bewildering contradictions? Just when Cora thinks she’s got things figured out, a series of surprises and secrets threaten to upend everything she thought she understood about love and loyalty. In the wake of these developments and a shocking tragedy, a new man enters Cora’s life—Aaron—further complicating everything. He’s the only one who seems to get her, and the letters she writes to him when the two are separated reveal the truth of their inescapable connection. There’s only one problem—how can she fall in love with one man when her heart belongs to another? Twenty years later, and Cora is all grown up, or mostly, and has cloaked herself in loneliness like a warm blanket. It’s the safest choice. But then an unexpected reconnection and a chance encounter puts her right back where she started. The same two men, the same agonizing decision. Finding herself in this position—again—will test everything Cora thought she knew about fate, love, and most importantly, herself. All The Men I’ve Loved Again is a big-hearted coming-of-age story for anyone who’s thought what if about a past love and what it would be like to have a second chance.
