  This is a rhymed story is about onboarding new hires, told through the innocent eyes of a Suitcase's experience with a new employer. And yes, suitcases have a job to do. 
  What's the story with this Suitcase?  
  Just like all of the characters in our metaphor universe, this is another gender-ethnic-religious neutral metaphor. It's about your everyday goody two shoes, being enthusiastic about 1st day at work. That's when employees are at their peak motivation and their workplace mental health is fully charged. And yet so few employers get this onboarding journey right, transforming workplace wellness into workplace bullying. Our naive little Suitcase dreams of an ideal and textbook Onboarding process... You know, the one that stimulates your process of making sense in new surroundings and help you make new friends. But then, reality hits you in the face like Mike Tyson... 
  Where's the lesson?  
  We are all Suitcases in one way or another - with emotional baggage and luggage accumulated over time. This is the most relatable story ever told - because we have all experienced it personally. So we use this sentiment to illustrate how an ideal onboarding process should look like, relevant both for new hires, hiring managers, as well as your direct manager. Time to rethink how organizational socialization, integration and onboarding employees can be done better.

  “A truly wonderful social history of a tragic and unexplained shipping disaster. Five Stars.”—Scottish Field   The wrecking of the RMS Tayleur made headlines nearly 60 years before the Titanic. Both were run by the White Star Line, both were heralded as the most splendid ships of their time and both sank in tragic circumstances on their maiden voyages.   On 19 January 1854 the Tayleur, a large merchant vessel, left Liverpool for Australia; packed with hopeful emigrants, her hold stuffed with cargo. More than a century after the tragedy, Gill Hoffs reveals new theories behind the disaster and tells the stories of the passengers and crew on the ill-fated vessel:   Captain John Noble, record breaking hero of the Gold Rush era.   Ship surgeon Robert Hannay Cunningham and his young family, on their way to a new life among the prospectors of Tent City.   Samuel Carby, ex-convict, returning to the gold fields with his new wife and a fortune sewn into her corsets.   But the ship’s revolutionary iron hull prevented its compasses from working. Lost in the Irish Sea, a storm swept the Tayleur and the 650 people aboard towards a cliff, studded with rocks “black as death.” What happened next shocked the world.   “Hoffs has recounted this awful tragedy with such description and dedicated research that you can almost imagine yourself on the deck of this unfortunate vessel . . . An excellent read.”—Suzie Lennox, author of Bodysnatchers   “A little masterclass in how to hold a reader enthralled by a tale of long-ago tragedy at sea.”—Diver Net

  A hilarious and biting memoir from the actor, comedian and Saturday Night Live alumni David Spade. 
  David Spade is best known for his harsh “Hollywood” Minute Sketches on SNL, his starring roles in movies like Joe Dirt and Tommy Boy,  and his seven-year stint as Dennis Finch on the series Just Shoot Me. Now, with a wit as dry as the weather in his home state of Arizona, the “comic brat extraordinaire” tells his story in Almost Interesting. 
  First Taking fans back to his childhood as a wannabe cool younger brother and recounting his excruciating road-tour to fame—when he was regularly mistaken for a ten year-old, Spade then dishes about his time crisscrossing the country as a comedian, for low-paying gigs and dragging along his mother’s old suitcase full of props. He also covers his years on SNL during the beloved Rock/Sandler/Farley era of the 1990s, including his close working relationship and friendship with Chris Farley and brags about the ridiculous perks that fame has brought into his life, including the constant fear of being fired, a crazy ex-assistant who attacked him while he was sleeping, a run-in with Eddie Murphy on the mean streets of Beverly Hills, and of course an endless supply of hot chicks.   
  Sometimes dirty, always funny, and as sharp as a tack, Almost Interesting reminds you why David Spade is one of our generation’s favorite funny guys.

  Painter, designer, creator of bizarre objects, author and film maker, Dalí became the most famous of the Surrealists. Buñuel, Lorca, Picasso and Breton all had a great influence on his career. Dalí's film, An Andalusian Dog, produced with Buñuel, marked his official entry into the tightly-knit group of Parisian Surrealists, where he met Gala, the woman who became his lifelong companion and his source of inspiration. But his relationship soon deteriorated until his final rift with André Breton in 1939. Nevertheless Dalí's art remained surrealist in its philosophy and expression and a prime example of his freshness, humour and exploration of the subconscious mind. Throughout his life, Dalí was a genius at self-promotion, creating and maintaining his reputation as a mythical figure.
