  Annie Sloan is a celebrated decorative painter and the inventor of Chalk Paint®, with over a million followers on social media. In her new book, Annie introduces 30 brand-new sustainable upcycling projects to give old furniture a second life.
  
  The pieces in this book range from decorative items such as a bed coronet and a decoupaged bureau to large-scale undertakings including revamping a tall French armoire with a blend of Chalk Paint hues and using paint effects for a faux malachite desk. The projects are grouped by simplicity and the length of time required to complete each one, from an afternoon to a weekend. The techniques used range from painting to gilding, dyeing fabric, stamping, printing and stencilling and each one is clearly explained in easy-to-follow step-by-step photography. As well as her love for colour and paint, Annie has a passion for sustainability and reuse, and the book includes a chapter that explains the concept of upcycling and why it matters. Every project in the book transforms an unloved second-hand item into something beautiful and unique, and Annie provides expert advice on sourcing the original pieces at flea markets and online.

  The creator of Dilbert, the fastest-growing comic strip in the nation, takes a look at corporate America in all its glorious lunacy.These hilarious essays on incompetent bosses, rampant management fads, bewildering technological changes, and so much more, will make anyone who has ever worked in an office laugh out loud in recognition. 
   
  The Dilbert Principle: The most ineffective workers will be systematically moved to the place where they can do the least damage -- management. 
   
  Since 1989, Scott Adams has been illustrating this principle each day, lampooning the corporate world through Dilbert, his enormously popular comic strip. In Dilbert, the potato-shaped, abuse-absorbing hero of the strip, Adams has given voice to the millions of Americans buffeted by the many adversities of the work place. 
   
  Now he takes the next step, attacking corporate culture head-on in this light-hearted series of essays. Adams explores the zeitgeist of ever-changing management trends, overbearing egos, management incompetence, bottomless bureaucracies, petrifying performance reviews, three-hour meetings, the confusion of the information super highway, and more.  
   
  With sharp eyes, and an even sharper wit, Adams exposes, and skewers, the bizarre absurdities of everyday corporate life. The Dilbert Principle rings so true! Listeners will be convinced that he has been spying on their bosses.

  BLADE RUNNER 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Blade Runner is a 1982 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott, adapted from Philip K. Dick's novel. Set in a dystopian 2019 Los Angeles, it follows Rick Deckard, a "blade runner," who hunts bio-engineered replicants. The film, starring Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer, explores themes of humanity and technology. Initially polarizing, Blade Runner became a cult classic, influencing cyberpunk and neo-noir genres. Its visual design, inspired by Métal Hurlant and Edward Hopper, and Vangelis's score, are notable. Several versions exist, with Scott's Final Cut being the definitive one. The film's impact continues to be seen in subsequent science fiction works. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Blade Runner is based on the 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. The film is set in a dystopian Los Angeles in 2019, where bioengineered humans called replicants are hunted by "blade runners". 
    
  The movie's director, Ridley Scott, initially declined the project but joined after leaving the production of Dune, seeking a faster-paced project after his brother’s death. Scott’s vision was also influenced by the landscape of Hong Kong and the industrial areas of northeast England. 
    
  Harrison Ford, who played Rick Deckard, did not enjoy making Blade Runner and had friction with director Ridley Scott. Ford also disliked the voice-over narration that was added to the film.
