Rupert Friend stars in the eponymous role of this action thriller
directed by Aleksander Bach. The International Contracts Agency
(ICA), a top secret organisation that works independently of the
U.S. government, has spent millions of dollars developing its own
army of genetically engineered assassins. Known only by the last
two digits of the barcode stamped on the back of his neck, Agent 47
is the best assassin in the business, boasting unrivalled
intelligence, speed and strength. When 47's latest target,
multi-national corporation owner John Smith (Zachary Quinto), gets
wind of his impending fate, Smith tries to penetrate the ICA to
find the secret to their success in creating invincible agents with
a plan of improving on their skills to develop his own army.

Tony Scott directs this runaway train action thriller starring
Denzel Washington, Chris Pine and Rosario Dawson. Experienced train
engineer Frank Barnes (Washington) finds himself teamed up with
young conductor Will Colson (Pine) in a frantic race against time
when an unmanned, half-mile long runaway train carrying a cargo of
lethal toxic chemicals cuts loose and threatens to wipe out an
entire city.
A collection of films featuring the Irish actor Liam Neeson. In
'Rob Roy' (1995), the Scottish hero Rob Roy (Neeson) borrows money
from the powerful Marquess of Montrose (John Hurt) in order to
provide for his MacGregor clan. However, Montrose's evil henchman
Cunningham (Tim Roth) has other ideas and is determined to stop Roy
getting his way. In 'Kingdom of Heaven' (2005), Orlando Bloom plays
a humble blacksmith who discovers that he is the son of a knight,
and travels to the Holy Land to fight in the crusades. In the
thriller 'Taken' (2008), Neeson stars as Bryan, a former CIA secret
agent living in the US who is obliged to resurrect the skills he
learned in his old job after his estranged 17-year-old daughter Kim
(Maggie Grace) is kidnapped by sex slave traffickers while
travelling with a friend in Europe. Finally, in 'The A-Team'
(2010), four Iraq war veterans, led by Col. John 'Hannibal' Smith
(Neeson), are on the run from the US military who suspect them of
committing a crime and set about trying to clear their names.
Becoming mercenaries and employing a wide range of uniquely
offensive skills mixed in with a healthy dose of eccentric
behaviour, Smith and his cohorts, 'Faceman' Peck (Bradley Cooper),
'Howling Mad' Murdock (Sharlto Copley) and 'B.A.' Baracus (Quinton
Jackson), set out to right the wrong done to them by any means
necessary - and some that aren't - all the while pursued by
military tracker Charisa Sosa (Jessica Biel).
The SECCHI A and B instrument suites (Howard et al. , 2006) onboard
the two STEREO mission spacecraft (Kaiser, 2005) are each composed
of: one Extreme Ultra-Violet Imager (EUVI), two white-light
coronagraphs (COR1 and COR2), and two wide-angle heliospheric
imagers (HI1 and HI2). Technical descriptions of EUVI, COR1 and the
HIs can be found in Wuelser et al. (2004), Thompson et al. (2003),
and De?se et al. (2003), respectively. The images produced by
SECCHI represent a data visualization challenge: i) the images are
2048x2048 pixels (except for the HIs, which are usually binned
onboard 2x2), thus the vast majority of computer displays are not
able to display them at full frame and full r- olution, and ii)
more importantly, the ?ve instruments of SECCHI A and B were
designed to be able to track Coronal Mass Ejections from their
onset (with EUVI) to their pro- gation in the heliosphere (with the
HIs), which implies that a set of SECCHI images that covers the
propagation of a CME from its initiation site to the Earth is
composed of im- ?1 ages with very different spatial resolutions -
from 1. 7 arcsecondspixel for EUVI to 2. 15 ?1 arcminutespixel for
HI2, i. e. 75 times larger. A similar situation exists with the
angular scales of the physical objects, since the size of a CME
varies by orders of magnitude as it expands in the heliosphere.
