  One woman's journey through South America - and the devastating story of our planet's disappearing biodiversity 
   
  Pedalling hard for thirteen months, eco adventurer Kate Rawles cycled the length of the Andes on an eccentric bicycle she built herself. The Life Cycle charts her mission to find out why biodiversity is so important, what's happening to it, and what can be done to protect it. 
   
  From the Pacific Ocean to rainforests and salt flats, Kate learns that armadillos can cross rivers by holding their breath, that Colombia has more species of birds than North America and Europe combined, and that in threatening species and ecosystems, we're tearing down our own life support system. En route, she witnesses the devastation of goldmining and oil drilling but finds hope in the incredible people working to regenerate habitats and communities. As she reaches the 'end of the world', she realises that to tackle biodiversity loss we all have a role to play. 
  'A gripping read for anyone who cares about what we're doing to the planet and how we can change it' DAVID SHUKMAN, FORMER BBC NEWS SCIENCE EDITOR 
   
  'Searing observations focused on our need to protect biodiversity - A tour de force' SIR TIM SMIT OBE, CO-FOUNDER OF THE EDEN PROJECT

  Meet Dave. Dave is Prime Minister. Dave really wants to do the right thing. He keeps telling us he wants to do the right thing. Again and again and again. One afternoon he told us four times in half an hour.
  
  
  
  Then he went off and did the right thing. Every morning when he wakes up, he reminds himself to remind us that he's doing the right thing.
  
  
  
  But what is the right thing? And what is the wrong thing? And is doing the right thing the right thing or the wrong thing to do? Or is doing the wrong thing the right thing to do when doing the right thing might turn out to be the wrong thing, and doing the wrong thing might turn out to be the right thing?
  
  
  Next to doing the right thing, the most important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER
  
  
  You can always count on Americans to do the right thing – after they've tried everything else WINSTON CHURCHILL
  
  
  Sometimes it is better to lose and do the right thing than to win and do the wrong thing TONY BLAIR
  
  
  If I lose the ball, I lose it trying to do the right thing. That's the way it is. FRANK LAMPARD

  THE EXORCIST 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY WILLIAM FRIEDKIN 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  The Exorcist is a 1973 supernatural horror film directed by William Friedkin, based on William Peter Blatty's novel. The story follows Chris MacNeil, an actress whose 12-year-old daughter, Regan, begins exhibiting strange and violent behavior. As doctors fail to find a cause, Chris turns to Father Damien Karras, a Jesuit priest and psychologist, who suspects her daughter may be possessed by a demon. The film explores themes of faith, good versus evil, and the battle for the soul, set against a backdrop of chilling supernatural events, making it one of the most iconic and unsettling horror films in cinema history. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Due to threats against Linda Blair from religious extremists who believed the film glorified Satan, Warner Bros. provided her with bodyguards for six months after the film's release.” 
    
  “On the first day of filming the exorcism sequence, Linda Blair's foul-mouthed dialogue so shocked the gentlemanly Max von Sydow that he forgot his lines.” 
    
  “The Exorcist became Warner Bros.' highest-grossing film of all time when adjusted for inflation.” 
    
  “The original teaser trailer, which featured quick flashes of a white-faced demon, was banned in several theaters for being too frightening.” 
    
  “If adjusted for inflation, The Exorcist would still hold the title of the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.”

  Bed bugs have been making a valiant comeback in the West since the end of the Second World War, and are now firmly entrenched in our cities. So much so, that every Western hotel has to take special precautions costing an aggregated sum of billions of dollars a year, which is passed on to us, the paying guest. 
  It is long past the time when everyone should take this subject seriously, so, in that vein, I hope that you will find the information below helpful, useful and profitable. 
  The advice in this ebook on how to deal with bed bugs and related subjects is organised into 18 chapters of about 500-600 words each. I have also included the scientific classification for clarity and the lyrics of two popular songs for the sake of levity. 
  As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first.

  From Mohair Suits to Kinky Boots...

  Geoff Deane

  A very funny book packed with very funny stories, written by a very funny and often peculiar man Jonathan Ross.  The Samuel Pepys of East London Maurice Gran.  As the lead singer of Modern Romance he toured the world, as the screenwriter of Kinky Boots he conquered Hollywood, now comes Geoff Deane's latest act as a brilliant and witty ranconteur in this hilarious memoir.  Geoff Deane has worked as a fly-pitcher selling out of a suitcase, and flogged suits on Brick Lane market in London's East End. He was the singer in a much-loved culty punk band the Leyton Buzzards, a floppy-haired pop star in Modern Romance, a songwriter, and record producer. He wrote a gay anthem for John Waters drag queen muse Divine, worked as journalist and restaurant critic for style magazines The Face and Arena, before becoming a successful writer and producer of TV comedy. And then he wrote a couple of films, one of which, Kinky Boots, became a Tony Award winning Broadway  stage show.  With a cast ranging from local oddballs to international celebrities, Geoff Deane's unique take on the world is only matched by his extraordinarily rich use of language, with a smattering of Cockney rhyming slang, Yiddish and Polari.  A glossary is provided.
