Two single thirty-year-olds. One marriage pact. And a night in Vegas that's about to change everything... On Christmas Eve eight years ago Evie and Dan made a pact: if they weren't married by thirty, they were going to marry each other. Of course, neither of them took it seriously, even if Dan has always been mesmerised by Evie's beautiful smile, and Evie has always fancied Dan, her best-friend's brother. But then "it" happens. They wake up on Christmas Eve, the night before Evie's thirtieth birthday in Vegas... married. In a honeymoon suite filled with hundreds of heart-shaped pillows, they realise too late what they've done - just like Ross and Rachel. Surely if they just get a quickie div...

Home Office figures show an ongoing decline in the conviction rate for reported rape cases, with the conviction rate in 2002 being 5.6 per cent. This report draws on material from two evaluation projects funded by the Home Office Crime Reduction Programme Violence Against Women Initiative in an attempt to explain the high attrition rate in rape cases. It presents findings from the evaluation of two Sexual Assault Referral Centres, one non-centre based support service and three comparison areas where there was no specialist service for victims. Researchers tracked 3,500 rape cases through the courts and interviewed 228 rape victims. The authors identify six points at which attrition is likely to occur, and make recommendations for targeted interventions to reduce the attrition rate in these cases.

Discovery of Less is the true story about one man's poignant and humorous journey of stepping out of the comfort zone of everyday life and letting go. Through his insightful and refreshing storytelling, Chris Lovett shares details of how he found enriching outcomes of a simpler approach to life and work after decluttering, selling off everything he owned and walking away from the security of a stable career. Although the material deals with important issues such as clutter, emotional attachment, stress, sentimental attachment, debt, career change, imposter syndrome and the like, there is always room for fun and Chris brings colour, flavour and reality through his storytelling and just adds a little bit of dirt to the clean minimalist aesthetic. This book is your companion to stepping out of the lost year, providing inspiration and motivation to ditch all that stuff that holds us back to be better and do better, with less.
