For young couple Amy and David Fox (Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson), a long day bickering in their car suddenly gets much worse when they break down in the middle of nowhere. Luckily for them they find a motel and settle down to watch some TV. Concern rises when they realise the 'snuff' movies the motel thoughtfully supply for their guests seem vaguely familiar. Discovering hidden cameras, they realise that they are about to star in the performance of their lives, or rather the end of it, unless they can somehow escape.

Joe Dante directs this suspense horror/thriller. When 17-year-old Dane (Chris Massoglia) and his younger brother Lucas (Nathan Gamble) move with their mother Susan (Teri Polo) from New York City to the sleepy little town of Bensonville, they stumble across a mysterious hole under a locked trapdoor in the basement while exploring their new house.

This comprehensive Handbook illuminates the objectives and economics behind competition law. It takes a global comparative approach to explore competition law and policy in a range of jurisdictions with differing political economies, legal systems and stages of development. A set of expert international contributors examine the operation and enforcement of competition law around the world in order to globalize discussions surrounding the foundational issues of this topic. In doing so, they not only reveal the range of approaches to competition law, but also identify certain basic economic concepts and types of anticompetitive conduct that are at the core of competition law. Taking a forward-thinking perspective, the Handbook also analyses the challenges to the assessment methodology of anticompetitive conduct that are posed by the growth of the digital environment and changing views on economic approaches. This Handbook's detailed analytical and comparative approach to economics and competition law will be valuable for academics and students of these subjects. Its focus on policy and key case studies from across the globe will also be beneficial for legal practitioners and competition regulators.

Religious rivalries have been at the root of many human conflicts throughout history. Representatives of nine world religions offer insights into the teachings of nonviolence within their tradition, how practice has often fallen short of the ideals, and how they can overcome the contagion of hatred through a return to traditional teachings on nonviolence. Included are a new Foreword and Preface, a new Introduction by Daniel Smith-Christopher, two new chapters on Islam and the indigenous religion of the Maori, and a new Epilogue. In addition, study questions have been added to each chapter.

It's not what you do, it's how you think about what you do. Mindframes-your internal set of beliefs about your role as school leader-determine the high-impact leadership practices you choose to implement. In other words, how you think about the impact of the actions you take has more effect on student achievement than your leadership practices themselves. Building on over twenty-five years of Visible Learning research and girded by a theory of action that ensures school leaders have the expertise to select, implement, and evaluate high impact interventions, 10 Mindframes for Leaders: The VISIBLE LEARNING (R) Approach to School Success brings the mindframes of ten world-renowned educators to life. Ten chapters, each written by a different thought leader, detail a mindframe at the heart of successful school leadership, along with the high probability influences that make each mindframe visible. A must-have resource for any educator working toward student achievement at ever-higher levels, each chapter includes: * The most current, up-to-date findings from the Visible Learning research, including the factors from Visible Learning that support each mindframe * Practical ideas for leaders to implement high-impact strategies in classrooms and schools * Vignettes, questions, insights, and exercises to help educators clarify and refine their own mindframes Lead your school to reform from the inside out. Cultivate these ways of thinking, and you're more likely to have major impacts on the learning lives of those students entrusted to your care.

In the second installment of the Young Prince series, follow T'Challa in an action-packed adventure as he tries to unravel a sinister plot

More than fifty years ago, Nathaniel "Nate" Northington changed the face of sports as the first African American to play college football in the Southeastern Conference. When this trailblazing athlete stepped onto the field for the University of Kentucky vs. Ole Miss game on September 30, 1967, he played not only for his team, but for his best friend and roommate Greg Page, whose tragic death pushed Northington further into the spotlight - and into the fight for equality. In Still Running: My Life as the First Black Football Player in the SEC, Northington recounts how he and other African American football players fought on the gridiron throughout the civil rights movement to achieve success both on and off the field. Northington shares the story of his life - growing up in hardworking, self-reliant neighborhoods, first in Louisville's "Little Africa" and later in Newburg; the strong, supportive foundation provided by his parents; and the events of his childhood that forged in him a desire to confront racial injustice and violence. His athletic ability, character, and scholastic achievement took him to the front lines of the fight, compelling Kentucky Governor Ned Breathitt and UK president John Oswald to select him to help lead the way for integration in Kentucky college football. Northington reveals what life was like in the locker room and on campus, and how his brotherly friendship with Greg Page - also a Black member of UK's 1966 freshman team - and subsequently Page's devastating death, propelled him forward in his goal of integrating the SEC. Containing new material and an updated history addressing the ongoing racial justice movement, Northington's story is about more than integration within college football - it is an honest and inspirational testament to a life defined by faith, strength, resilience, and determination.

The third and final instalment in this thrilling trilogy, following T'Challa through his early years before he becomes the Wakandan hero, Black Panther

A gripping, richly imagined fantasy set in an alternate ancient African world in which a Black girl finds her power and saves her people from evil, by the Coretta Scott King/John Steptoe New Talent Award-winning author of Black Panther: The Young Prince. In the land of Alkebulan, twelve-year-old Asha is an orphan, raised by Madame S, the proprietor of a traveling carnival. When Madame S is attacked by ghoulish creatures, she manages to tell Asha before she dies, "Seek the Underground Kingdom, where the black flowers bloom." Asha doesn't understand the mysterious words, but they launch her onto a page-turning quest to protect her people and stop an ancient evil. Along the way, she uncovers shocking secrets about the family she never knew and begins to find her place in the world as she discovers her own untapped powers.

For the Latino population, the family bond is powerful and enduring. Family serves as the primary source of support, care, guidance, and healing; all difficulties that arise for an individual are surmounted together. Therefore, a practitioner working with a Latino client must gain the trust and respect of the family in order to carry out treatment efficiently. He or she must essentially become a part of that family to encourage members to share their issues without the concern of breaching the confidence of the family. Counseling and Family Therapy with Latino Populations helps the therapist to join the Latino family in order to identify and explore the difficulties that threaten their welfare. With this fundamental principle as the basis, the book's editors and contributors write chapters that focus on work with children and adolescents, group counseling and substance abuse counseling. They incorporate specific case studies, methods, and strategies for intervention and provide insight into the cultural relevance behind each example. This book is a necessary resource for therapists working with Latino clients who wish to offer effective techniques while continuing to value the integrity of family tradition.

Trade and commerce are among the oldest, most pervasive, and most important of human activities, serving as engines for change in many other human endeavors. This far-reaching study examines the key theme of trading in world history, from the earliest signs of trade until the long-distance trade systems such as the famous Silk Road were firmly established. Beginning with a general background on the mechanism of trade, Richard L. Smith addresses such basic issues as how and why people trade, and what purpose trade serves. The book then traces the development of long-distance trade, from its beginnings in the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods through early river valley civilizations and the rise of great empires, to the evolution of vast trade systems that tied different zones together. Topics covered include: * products that were traded and why; * the relationship between political authorities and trade; * the rise and fall of Bronze Age commerce; * the development of a maritime system centered on the Indian Ocean stretching from the Mediterranean to the South China Sea; * the integration of China into the world system and the creation of the Silk Road; * the transition to a modern commercial system. Complete with maps for clear visual illustration, this vital contribution to the study of World History brings the story of trade in the premodern period vividly to life.

The U.S. Constitution was written more than 230 years ago for a new country on the periphery of the world. Two centuries later, it governs the most powerful nation on earth, and its meaning is constantly debated. The U.S. Constitution in Five Minutes presents fifty-nine essays on subjects central to the meaning and application of the U.S. Constitution. Written by scholars, these essays cover origins; institutions, processes, and structural features; civil rights and liberties; and modes of interpretation and address common questions and misunderstandings about the Constitution, such as: • Can the president start a war? • Does the Constitution protect hate speech? • Does the Second Amendment give everyone the right to have a gun? • Does the Constitution protect noncitizens? • How can we tell what the Constitution means? Intended for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the underlying principles of the U.S. political system, the book will also be a valuable supplement to political science courses. As with all the “Five Minutes” books, the essays are written in lively and accessible prose and are brief enough to be read in five minutes.

Queues for service of one kind or another arise in many different fields of activity. In recent years a considerable amount of research has been conducted into the properties of simplified mathematical models of such queueing systems. Our objects in the present mono graph are threefold. First we have tried, especially in Chapter I, to give an account of the general ideas that are useful in describing and thinking about queueing systems. Secondly, we have illustrated by examples some of the mathematical techniques that are useful for the study of these systems. Finally, we have given some explicit mathematical results which may be useful in practical investigations. A recent bibliography gave some 600 papers on queueing and allied subjects. Clearly we cannot, in the modest limits of the present work, cover more than a small proportion of the huge amount of material available. However, some results that we have not had space to discuss in detail have been given in outline in the form of exercises."
