Russell Crowe stars in this timely psychological thriller that explores the fragile balance of a society pushed to the edge, taking something we've all experienced - road rage - to an unpredictable and terrifying conclusion.
Rachel is running late to work when she has an altercation at a traffic light with a stranger whose life has left him feeling powerless and invisible. Soon, Rachel finds herself and everyone she loves the target of a man who decides to make one last mark upon the world by teaching her a series of deadly lessons.
What follows is a dangerous game of cat and mouse that proves you never know just how close you are to someone who is about to become unhinged.
King of the Fells. Iron man. Lake District fell running legend.
Joss Naylor is all of these things and more. His achievements are
astounding, his records stand the test of time. In 1983 he
completed the 105-mile Lakes, Meres and Waters (LMW) route in a
staggering 19hr 14min and to this day, describes it as one of the
best routes he ever ran. High praise indeed and yet, so few know of
it. Part guidebook, part inspirational regaling, this book
interweaves tales of past and present as Naylor reflects on his
1983 epic on a re-walk 37 years later. In the company of
award-winning author, Vivienne Crow, Naylor recalls that magical
day, sharing stories and anecdotes from, not just his run, but the
1980s fell running scene, his working life and growing up in the
Wasdale Valley. Naylor's tales, together with breathtaking
photography, are accompanied by basic guide notes for the LMW
route, sticking as closely to his 1983 run as possible. These notes
divide the route into ten stages (ranging from 9 to 14 miles),
allowing runners and walkers to follow in the footsteps of the King
of the Fells, albeit on a more relaxed schedule. From Loweswater to
Over Water, visiting 27 of the Lake District's largest bodies of
water, the LMW route guarantees vistas of unparalleled beauty and
an unforgettable experience in true fell country.
Case Studies in Mathematical Modelling for Medical Devices: How
Pulse Oximeters, Laser Doppler Flowmeters and Fetal Monitors Work
focuses on three medical devices used to monitor some aspect of
physiological status: pulse oximetry, laser Doppler flowmetry and
Doppler ultrasound fetal heart rate monitoring. The book's three
case studies serve as the basis for readers to be able to
generalize modeling to other medical devices. It introduces
mathematical topics that appear in many areas of science and
engineering by demonstrating the value of being able to model how
devices work. This requires a brief description of their operating
principles before appropriate mathematics. Containing three parts
about each medical device, the book begins with a chapter on
probability distributions that will be used in oximetry and laser
Doppler flowmetry parts. This book is for MSc and PhD students in
biomedical engineering and those interested in the mathematics
behind the design of the instrumentation that they use.
Triple bill of zombie films. 'Zombie Apocalypse' (2011) is a
made-for-TV horror starring Ving Rhames in which a group of human
survivors of a zombie outbreak set out to make it to an uninfected
island. Ramona (Taryn Manning), Billy (Eddie Steeples) and Kevin
(Gerald Webb) are almost killed when they head out to search for
food. Fortunately for them, they meet a tough group that includes
Henry (Rhames) and Cassie (Lesley-Ann Brandt), who take on the
zombies with weapons as diverse as a sledgehammer and a samurai
sword. 'Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies' (2012) is a tongue-in-cheek
zombie horror in which Abraham Lincoln is distracted from his
composition of the Gettysburg Address by a more pressing concern -
an outbreak of the undead. Lincoln (Bill Oberst Jr.) leads a team
of Secret Service agents to the area to try and contain the
disaster. There is a suggestion that Lincoln may have some
experience of dealing with zombies from his past and he takes under
his wing a youngster by the name of Teddy Roosevelt (Canon
Kuipers), who may have a role of his own to play in the American
story. 'The Dead' (2010) is a zombie horror set in West Africa.
Robert Freeman stars as Lieutenant Brian Murphy, a military
engineer who finds himself stranded in the wilderness of Burkina
Faso after a zombie outbreak lays waste to civilisation. Eventually
he teams up with Sergeant Daniel Dembele (Prince David Oseia), a
local soldier who has gone AWOL from the army to search for his
missing son.
