All four movies from the action film series directed by George
Miller. 'Mad Max' (1979), set sometime after an apocalyptic war,
depicts a world in which the police have their hands full fighting
roving motorcycle gangs. When the wife and child of cop Max (Mel
Gibson) are murdered by one of the gangs, he sets out to get
revenge. In 'Mad Max 2' (1981), following the road-side slaughter
of his family, ex-cop Max roams the post-apocalyptic landscape
alone. Reluctantly taking a pit-stop at a desert-set fortress, Max
is gradually persuaded to help protect the people inside it and the
commodity that makes it a prime target for marauding gangs - fuel.
In 'Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome' (1985) Max, arriving in Bartertown
in search of some stolen property, has to fight a duel in the
Thunderdome arena. He is exiled to the desert by Bartertown's
ruler, Auntie (Tina Turner), where he is rescued by a community of
feral children. In 'Mad Max: Fury Road' (2015) Max (Tom Hardy) has
been captured by a gang, led by the tyrannical Immortan Joe (Hugh
Keays-Byrne). In order to escape Max teams up with Imperator
Furiosa (Charlize Theron), a woman who wants to travel across the
desert and find her way back home. But, after liberating five
female captives from Joe's clutches, she too must escape from the
crazy gang leader and his henchmen. Can they make it across the
desert in one piece?

This collection of thoughtful reflections looks at events and
activities of everyday life and discovers routes to spiritual
practice and deeper, daily spirituality. At the behest of CREDO
Institute, Inc., which hosts health and wellness conferences and is
supported by the Episcopal Church Pension Fund, priest and CREDO
conference leader Renee Miller wrote the 20 reflections and grouped
them into the categories: Meditative Practice, Ministry Practice,
Media Practice, Mind Practice, and Movement Practice. Each entry,
accented with color photographs, is aimed at evoking mindfulness in
the common activities of life, from music and movie going to
reading, writing, and walking.
For the reader who wishes to use the book to introduce or more
deeply explore spiritual practices with other people or in an
instructional setting, each chapter concludes with a nod toward who
might be inclined to certain practices, based on individual
predilections or personality.
The Foreword by Brian Taylor lays out the theological
underpinnings of spiritual discipline in what could stand alone as
a primer on spiritual practice. "

Two adventures from the early 1980s with Peter Davison starring as
the Time Lord. In 'Kinda' (1982), the Doctor (Davison), Tegan
(Janet Fielding), Adric (Matthew Waterhouse) and Nyssa (Sarah
Sutton) land on paradisical Deva Loka, for rest and recuperation.
However, the military expediton on the planet has lost several crew
members, and the Doctor and Adric are taken hostage by the near
hysterical Hindle. Meanwhile, Tegan's dreams have provided the
gateway to an ancient evil, the snake-like Mara. The Doctor must
prevent the Mara from taking over the Kinda and destroying the
expedition, as the wheel of creation begins to turn. In
'Snakedance' (1983), a loose sequel to 'Kinda', Tegan must have
made a mistake when she was setting the co-ordinates for the
TARDIS, because the Doctor certainly hadn't intended landing on
Manussa. When the Doctor learns that Manussa was once the home of
the Sumaran Empire, he realises that an evil force has begun to
take over Tegan's will. This force, the Mara, is planning to use
Tegan as a vehicle to retake power on Manussa. Just as the
celebrations to commemorate the destruction of the Sumaran Empire
by the Federation are about to take place, the Legend of Mara is
about to come true.
The COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the need for health
professionals to communicate more clearly about what public health
is and why it matters. Public health in the United States has been
underfunded, undervalued, and misunderstood largely because of the
unclear and inconsistent way health leaders talk about it. Talking
Health is intended to help public health and allied professionals
communicate about public health more effectively - whether they
need to reach policymakers, community partners, the media, or the
public. Many people who are trained in medicine or public health
have never had to "sell" ideas or policies to uninformed or
skeptical partners, but the insights, tools, and resources included
in this book can provide a first step toward better communications
and stronger partnerships. This book is based on original research
and insights by social scientists and seasoned communications
professionals at the FrameWorks Institute and Hattaway
Communications. It provides practical tools such as tested
messaging and effective metaphors to help professionals avoid
messages that backfire, answer challenging questions, reframe
public health assumptions, and draw on the power of anecdotes while
sharing important data. Drawing together leading experts across
media and public health, Talking Health is a practical and powerful
starting point for those ready to change how public health is
viewed and valued in our nation.
One of the most highly anticipated sequels of all-time is finally
here in BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT: MASTER RACE! In 1986, Frank Miller
introduced his iconic take on Batman and changed the face of comics
forever. Now, three decades after BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS,
Miller himself has returned with a third chapter to his
groundbreaking saga. It's been three years since the Batman
defeated Lex Luthor and saved the world from tyranny. Three years
since anyone has seen Gotham City's guardian alive. Wonder Woman,
Queen of the Amazons...Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern...Superman,
the Man of Steel...all of the Dark Knight's allies have retreated
from the front lines of the war against injustice. But now a new
war is beginning. An army of unimaginable power led by Superman's
own daughter is preparing to claim Earth as their new world. The
only force that can stop this master race-Batman-is dead. Long live
the new Batman... Collecting the full nine-issue miniseries and its
mini-comic tie-in issues, BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT: MASTER RACE
features incredible artwork from comics icon Andy Kubert
(FLASHPOINT), as well as Klaus Janson (THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS),
John Romita Jr. (ALL-STAR BATMAN), Eduardo Risso (100 BULLETS) and
Frank Miller himself!

The latest entry in this noteworthy series continues its focus on
psychological issues relating to legal and judicial matters, with
sound recommendations for situational and system-wide improvement.
Salient concerns are described both in areas where their existence
is frequently acknowledged (juror impartiality, the juvenile
justice system) and where they are rarely considered (Miranda
warnings, forensic mental health experts). Authors describe
differences between professional and lay concepts of justice
principles--and the resulting disconnect between community
sentiment and the law. Throughout these chapters, psychological
nuances and their legal implications are made clear as they relate
to lawyers, jurors, suspects, and victims. Included among the
topics: * From the headlines to the jury room: an examination of
the impact of pretrial publicity on jurors and juries. * Victim
impact statements in capital sentencing: 25 years post-Payne. *
Psychology and the Fourth Amendment. * Examining the presenting
characteristics, short-term effects, and long-term outcomes
associated with system-involved youths. * Indigenous youth crime:
an international perspective. * An empirical analysis of
law-psychology journals: who's publishing and on what? As with the
others in the series, this third volume of Advances in Psychology
and Law will interest researchers in legal psychology and related
disciplines (e.g., criminal justice) as well as practicing
attorneys, trial consultants, and clinical psychologists.
This first volume of an exciting annual series presents important
new developments in the psychology behind issues in the law and its
applications. Psychological theory is used to explore why many
current legal policies and procedures can be ineffective or
counterproductive, with special emphasis on new findings on how
witnesses, jurors, and suspects may be influenced, sometimes
leading to injustice. Expert scholars make recommendations for
improvements, suggesting both future directions for research
inquiries on topics and needed policy changes. Topics included in
this initial offering have rarely been considered in such an
in-depth fashion or are in need of serious re-thinking:
Interrogation of minority suspects: pathways to true and false
confessions. A comprehensive evaluation of showups. The weapon
focus effect for person identifications and descriptions. The
psychology of criminal jury instructions. Structured risk
assessment and legal decision making. Children's participation in
legal proceedings: stress, coping, and consequences. Sex offender
policy and prevention. The psychology of tort law. Demonstrating
the scope and rigor that will characterize the series, Volume 1 of
Advances in Psychology and Law will interest psychology and legal
experts as well as practicing psychologists, and will inspire fresh
thinking as the two fields continue to interact.

When businesses, families, or individuals decline to be accountable
for their actions and decisions, the results can be devastating.
Businesses can fail, relationships falter, and reputations shatter.
Culture Without Accountability-WTF? is full of real life stories of
what accountability looks like, and what can go wrong in its
absence. This book offers a proven process for installing an
accountability-based culture, a platform for success in business
and in everyday life.
Acadia National Park (ACAD) lies within a transition zone of the
Maine coastline, containing ecological communities typical of both
southwestern and "downeast" coastal Maine. Eleven of these
communities, or "associations" as defined within the United States
National Vegetation Classification, are rare within the state of
Maine, and one is globally rare. The NPS Northeast Temperate
Network (NETN) is establishing a long-term forest monitoring
program in 10 national park units within the northeastern US. This
program is designed to detect trends in forest condition. At ACAD,
the network has installed 176 permanent forest plots. This sample
size will allow detection of trends in park forests overall, as
well as in some specific ecological communities. However, this
effort will not yield sufficient sample sizes in rare community
associations to assess trends in the condition of these
communities. Rare communities are of particular management and
conservation interest at ACAD, because they are rare and because
they may be particularly sensitive to anthropogenic (human caused)
impacts. This protocol was designed to provide data for the
assessment of status and trend in rare woodland and forest
communities within ACAD, and was adapted from the NETN Long-term
Forest Monitoring Protocol.
A team of spelunkers is found dead in mysterious circumstances in
the shadow of the once-proud Cathar redoubt of Montsegur, in
Southern France. What mysterious treasure were they seeking--and
did they find it? A ruthless battle over long-buried secrets is
going to pit the Roman Catholic Church against an ancient secret
society and descendents of the Nazis who once looked for the Holy
Grail in Montsegur, with the very future of Humanity at
stake...Published in France two years before the world-famous Da
Vinci Code, The Song of Montsegur is an award-winning, fast-paced
supernatural thriller which blends elements from French history
with modern-day conspiracies.
All individuals face stress in their daily lives, but this is often
particularly true for those who enforce the law, administer
justice, or are forced into the legal system. Uncontrolled strain
can result in negative behaviors, burnout, risk-taking, and
physical and psychological symptoms ranging from colds to
depression and suicide. This, in turn, can have a dramatic impact
on the functioning of the legal system as a whole. On the other
hand, contact with the legal system has the potential to promote
wellbeing for many individuals, such as victims who feel that
justice has been served and jurors and judges who feel they have
helped preserve the integrity of the legal system. Stress, Trauma,
and Wellbeing in the Legal System presents theory, research, and
scholarship from a variety of social scientific disciplines and
offers suggestions for those interested in exploring and improving
the wellbeing of those who are voluntarily (police, probation
officers, civil plaintiffs, lawyers, judges, court staff) or
involuntarily (jurors, criminal defendants, witnesses, children,
the elderly) drawn into the legal system. This comprehensive volume
is an invaluable resource for those intersested in protecting the
wellbeing of individuals in the legal system, particularly criminal
justice professionals, judges, attorneys, forensic psychologists,
psychiatrists, social workers, researchers in psychology,
criminology, and sociology, and students in each of these areas.
This key text on consumer law contains materials drawn from a broad
range of sources and includes extracts from: cases and statutes;
Government and Law Commission reports; and publications produced by
the Office of Fair Trading and the National Consumer Council. It
also incorporates materials illustrating the approach of other
jurisdictions, most notably within the Commonwealth, north America
and continental Europe. The ever-increasing influence of the
European Community is apparent throughout this work and the
extracts (many of which are not readily accessible elsewhere) are
introduced, linked and contextualised by extensive commentary,
notes, problems and questions for discussion. The book takes full
account of the major statutory changes since the last edition, for
example, the Consumer Protection Act 1987, the Sale and Supply of
Goods Act 1994, the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package
Tours Regulations 1992, the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts
Regualtions 1994 and the General Product Safety Regulations 1994.
In addition, there is discussion of developments affecting the
enforcement of penalties, including conditional fee agreements and
group actions, together with coverage of the substantial amount of
recent case law. Miller, Harvey and Parry offer wide-ranging and
authoritative coverage of an increasingly complex area of law. It
will be an invaluable source of learning for all students of
consumer law, particularly undergraduates and those on Legal
Practice courses. It will also interest specialist and
non-specialist practitioners, and non-lawyers who deal with
consumer law such as trading standards officers and those
proffering advice from citizens advice bureaux.
