Satirical comedy starring Rob Schneider, Adrien Brody, Michelle
Rodriguez and Ari Shaffir. The film utilises a narrative framing
device where a selection of comedy skits are played through a
smartphone application. Included in the skits is Adrien Brody
playing 'Flirty Harry', a pink trousers-wearing cop whose
speciality it seems is the gay-themed double entendre; Ari Shaffir
playing 'The Amazing Racist'; and Rob Schneider and Michelle
Rodriguez as reviewers who offer commentary on a range of
pornographic films.

This re-release of fan-favorite adaptation of Robert Silverberg's
Downward to the Earth is accompanied by the highly-anticipated
Children of Belzagor, the original and never before released
sequel. From the mind of legendary American science-fiction writer
Robert Silverberg. What began in his acclaimed Downward to the
Earth continues in this collection! First, Return to Belzagor, the
fan-favorite adaptation of Downward to the Earth as adapted by
writer Philippe Thirault and Eisner-nominated artist Laura
Zuccheri. Then, the story continues in the all-new Children of
Belzagor, a Silverberg-approved tale of legacy and the lasting
effects of colonialism. Return to Belzagor - Ex-lieutenant Eddie
Gundersen returns to Belzagor, where he left behind his youthful
illusions, the love of his life, and a shameful history as a brutal
colonialist. Today, the planet has been returned to its two native,
intelligent species: the Nildorors and the Sulidorors. Acting as a
guide for a scientific expedition deep within native territory,
Gundersen confronts his inner demons and settles old scores with a
planet that hasn’t yet revealed all its secrets to him. Children
of Belzagor - Belzagor is a beautiful and mysterious planet, a
former Earth colony returned to its two native species. Eddie
Gundersen, a former colonist who has been initiated into some of
the planet's secrets, thinks he can live a quiet life there. But
threatened with expulsion, he is forced to accept a dangerous quest
that will lead him to the Ice Lands, to the farthest reaches of
Belzagor's unexplored territories... This journey confronts him not
only with the secrets that the planet still holds, but also with
old enmities.

constructively address grief in daily life, a little bit at a time.
A comprehensive photographic guide to the gull species of the
Western Palearctic Gulls occupy a particularly important place in
the world of birds. But because they are notoriously difficult to
identify, they have been relatively neglected in the ornithological
literature. Gulls of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East
offers the most up-to-date guide for gull identification in Europe
and beyond. With a direct and visual approach, and an abundance of
beautiful color photographs, this book provides thorough accounts
of all species and subspecies of gulls found in the Western
Palearctic. The guide compares similar taxa and addresses the
complexities of identifying hybrids. Gulls of Europe, North Africa,
and the Middle East will be the standard work for identifying these
birds for some time to come. Richly illustrated with nearly 1,400
color photographs Thorough accounts of all species and subspecies
of gulls found in the Western Palearctic Up-to-date information for
easy and accurate identification of 45 species
Computational hydraulics and hydrologic modeling are rapidly developing fields with a wide range of applications in areas ranging from wastewater disposal and stormwater management to civil and environmental engineering. The fields are full of promise, but while an abundance of literature now exists, it contains a plethora of new terms that are not always defined.
Computational Hydraulics and Hydrology: An Illustrated Dictionary defines more that 4000 basic terms and phrases related to water conveyance with emphasis on computational hydraulics and hydrologic modeling. Compiled by Nicolas G. Adrien, a noted consulting engineer with three decades of experience, this dictionary includes detailed references to actual modeling studies, nearly 100 illustrations, 150 equations and formulas, and many notations. It also includes a chapter of application examples and another containing more than 6000 other related terms with a list of resources where interested readers can find further definitions.
Other dictionaries and glossaries related to these areas tend to be either dated or much narrower in scope. This dictionary offers broad, practice-based coverage of terms culled directly from the latest texts, references, and actual engineering reports. Computational Hydraulics and Hydrology: An Illustrated Dictionary stands alone in providing ready access to the vocabulary of these subjects.
A broad range of cultural works produced in traditional and modern
African communities shows a fundamental preoccupation with the
concepts of communal solidarity and hospitality in societies driven
by humanistic ideals. African Cultural Production and the Rhetoric
of Humanism is an inaugural attempt to focus exclusively and
extensively on the question of humanism in African art and culture.
This collection brings together scholars from different disciplines
who deftly examine the deployment of various forms of artistic
production such as oral and written literatures, paintings, and
cartoons to articulate an Afrocentric humanist discourse. The
contributors argue that the artists, in their representation of
civil wars, massive corruption, poverty, abuse of human rights, and
other dehumanizing features of post-independence Africa, call for a
return to the traditional African vision of humanism that is
relentlessly being eroded by the realities of postcolonial
nationhood.
The conservation of metallic archaeological and historic artefacts
is a major challenge whether they are ancient bronzes or relics of
our more recent industrial past. Based on the work of Working Party
21 Corrosion of Archaeological and Historical Artefacts within the
European Federation of Corrosion (EFC), this important book
summarises key recent research on analytical techniques,
understanding corrosion processes and preventing the corrosion of
cultural heritage metallic artefacts.
After an introductory part on some of the key issues in this area,
part two reviews the range of analytical techniques for measuring
and analysing corrosion processes, including time resolved
spectroelectrochemistry, voltammetry and laser induced breakdown
spectroscopy. Part three reviews different types of corrosion
processes for a range of artefacts, whilst part four discusses
on-site monitoring techniques. The final part of the book summaries
a range of conservation techniques and strategies to conserve
cultural heritage metallic artefacts.
Corrosion and conservation of cultural heritage metallic artefacts
is an important reference for all those involved in archaeology and
conservation, including governments, museums as well as those
undertaking research in archaeology and corrosion science.

Watching While Black Rebooted: The Television and Digitality of
Black Audiences examines what watching while Black means in an
expanded U.S. televisual landscape. In this updated edition, media
scholars return to television and digital spaces to think anew
about what engages and captures Black audiences and users and why
it matters. Contributors traverse programs and platforms to wrestle
with a changing television industry that has exploded and included
Black audiences as a new and central target of its visioning. The
book illuminates history, care, monetization, and affect. Within
these frames, the chapters run the gamut from transmediation,
regional relevance, and superhuman visioning to historical traumas
and progress, queer possibilities, and how televisual programming
can make viewers feel Black. Mostly, the work tackles what the
future looks like now for a changing televisual industry, Black
media makers, and Black audiences. Chapters rethink such
historically significant programs as Roots and Underground, such
seemingly innocuous programs as Soul Food, and such contemporary
and culturally complicated programs as Being Mary Jane and
Atlanta. The book makes a case for the centrality of these programs
while always recognizing the racial dynamics that continue to shape
Black representation on the small screen. Painting a decidedly
introspective portrait across forty years of Black television,
Watching While Black Rebooted sheds much-needed light on under
examined demographics, broadens common audience considerations, and
gives deference to the preferences of audiences and producers of
Black-targeted programming. Â

The European Energy Law Reports are an initiative taken by the
organisers of the European Energy Law Seminar which has been
organised on an annual basis since 1989 at Noordwijk aan Zee in the
Netherlands. The aim of this seminar is to present an overview of
the most important legal developments in the field of
International, EU and national energy and climate law. Whereas the
first seminars concentrated on the developments at EC level, which
were the results of the establishment of an Internal Energy Market,
the focus has now gradually switched to the developments at the
national level following the implementation of the EU Directives
with regard to the internal electricity and gas markets. This
approach can also be found in these reports.This volume includes
chapters on ''Newcomers in the Electricity Market: Aggregators and
Storage'', ''Hydropower Concessions in the EU: A Need for
Liberalisation or Privatisation?'', ''Investments and
des-Investments in the Energy Sector'', ''Offshore Decommissioning
in the North Sea'', ''CCS as a Climate Tool: North Sea Practice''
and ''From EU Climate Goals to National Climate Laws''
First published in English in 1958, this book charts the history of
the small states which emerged in Germany from the chaos of the
Thirty Years War. A period which has been neglected by English
historians, this book covers both the German principalities
generally and specifically a study of The Duchy of Wurttemberg and
the County of Montbeliard. It builds up a world of eccentricity,
documenting little-known facts about palaces and princes.
