Steve Pink directs this romantic comedy, based on David Marmet's
play 'Sexual Perversity in Chicago', starring Kevin Hart, Michael
Ealy, Regina Hall and Joy Bryant. Bernie Jackson (Hart) and his
friend Danny Martin (Ealy) consider themselves successful
womanisers. However, when they become involved with two roommates,
Joan Derrickson (Hall) and Debbie Sullivan (Bryant), Bernie and
Danny find that life becomes a lot more complicated. The two
couples go through numerous ups and downs, with the difficulties
and successes of each relationship having a knock-on effect on the
other. Can romance and friendship survive such close proximity?
Remastered version of Brad Bird's animated classic featuring two
new scenes. In 1957, a gigantic iron man crash lands from outer
space in Rockwell, Maine. After reassembling itself, the giant is
discovered by nine-year-old Hogarth Hughes (voice of Eli
Marienthal), who helps it to conceal itself while feeding on
scrapyard cars. Hogarth is assisted by beatnik Dean McCoppin (Harry
Connick Jr), unaware that government agent Kent Mansley
(Christopher McDonald) is already on the trail of what he regards
as an 'alien invader'.
This book addresses religion and secularism as critical and
contested elements of college student diversity. It both examines
why and how this topic has become an integral aspect of the field
of student affairs, and considers how scholars and practitioners
should engage in the discussion, as well as the extent to which
they should be involved in students' crises of faith, spiritual
struggles, and questions of life purpose. Part history of the
field, part prognostication for the future, the contributing
authors discuss how student affairs has reached this critical
juncture in its relationship with religious and secular diversity
and why this development is poised to create lasting change on
college campuses. Section I of this book focuses on the research on
spirituality, faith, religion, and life purpose; considers the
evolution of faith development theories from not only Christian
perspectives but Muslim, Jewish, atheist and other secular
worldviews; examines the influence of faith frames in students'
daily lives; and addresses the impact of campus climate for
religion/spirituality, as well as the relationship between
religious minority/majority status, on student outcomes. It
concludes by tracing the pendulum swing from higher education's
historical foundation in religion to the science-focused,
religion-averse 20th century, and now to a fragile middle position,
in which religious and secular diversity are being seriously
considered and embraced. Section II analyzes the role professional
associations play in advancing the student affairs field's
commitment to spirituality, faith and life purpose; the degree of
support they offer to practitioners as they examine their own
religious and secular identities, and envisages potential new
programming, resources, and networks. Section III describes a
number of programs and services developed by practitioners and
faculty members working in this area on their campuses; synthesizes
these developments for an examination of where best practices stand
today; and imagines the future of institutionalizing higher
education's support for students' explorations of spirituality,
faith, religion, and life purpose. Making Meaning provides a
comprehensive resource for student affairs scholars and
practitioners seeking to understand these topics and apply them in
their own research and daily work.

For more than two thousand years strategists in China have followed
a single, coherent system of military principles and teachings. In
The Science of War, Christopher MacDonald tells how those
principles and teachings first crystallized into the treatise
attributed to Sun Tzu, how they were honed by generals and rulers
in the centuries that followed, and how they guide the
decision-making of China's military and political leaders to this
day. Supported by a masterly new translation of Sun Tzu's classic,
MacDonald analyses what the application of that ancient system of
thought, borne into the twenty-first century on the back of China's
remarkable economic resurgence, bodes for military strategy in the
region. The result is essential reading for anyone who wants to
understand what the PRC is planning for Taiwan, the South China Sea
and the Western Pacific.

Framework for a Visual Energy Use System identifies software
technologies, which facilitate the use of buildings described in
Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools in both a simulation and
visualization. The study focused on the development of a software3
tool to fulfill the visualization needs of a Visual Energy Use
System. The result of the study was the successful creation of an
automated tool that converts building geometry found in .IFC files
into the .MAP file format understood by Doom 3 game engine. This
document details the methods employed by the IFCtoMAP software
along with a brief discussion of the IFCtoIDF conversion utility.
