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.

Joseph J. Lawson directs this action movie in which a technology
firm brings dinosaurs back to life only for them to run riot in Los
Angeles. Paraplegic Justin (Ronny Cox) is the CEO of the company

regenerate flesh, thereby allowing Justin to walk again, the firm
utilise the same breakthrough to reanimate dinosaurs - only for the
prehistoric creatures to break free from captivity. As fireman Gabe
Jacobs (Treat Williams) endeavours to rescue his daughter Jade
(Jillian Rose Reed) from the ensuing carnage, he becomes caught up

and mythical creatures.
An argument against the myth of American exceptionalism Endless
Holocausts: Mass Death in the History of the United States Empire
helps us to come to terms with what we have long suspected: the
rise of the U.S. Empire has relied upon an almost unimaginable loss
of life, from its inception during the European colonial period, to
the present. And yet, in the face of a series of endless holocausts
at home and abroad, the doctrine of American exceptionalism has
plagued the globe for over a century. However much the ruling class
insists on U.S. superiority, we find ourselves in the midst of a
sea change. Perpetual wars, deteriorating economic conditions, the
resurgence of white supremacy, and the rise of the Far Right have
led millions of people to abandon their illusions about this
country. Never before have so many people rejected or questioned
traditional platitudes about the United States. In Endless
Holocausts author David Michael Smith demolishes the myth of
exceptionalism by demonstrating that manifold forms of mass death,
far from being unfortunate exceptions to an otherwise benign
historical record, have been indispensable in the rise of the
wealthiest and most powerful imperium in the history of the world.
At the same time, Smith points to an extraordinary history of
resistance by Indigenous peoples, people of African descent, people
in other nations brutalized by U.S. imperialism, workers, and
democratic-minded people around the world determined to fight for
common dignity and the sake of the greater good.

"And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth of
my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men
shall dream dreams: " (Acts 2:17, ASV).There has never been a
greater time for God's people to put aside their petty religious
insanities and "wake up" to hear "His" voice; whether it comes in
the explosive eruption of a volcano, a clap of thunder, or a
whisper in your ear in the stillness of the night. Inside the cover
of this book are essential ingredients to hear His voice in the
quiet of the night.The WORD says: "and the sheep follow him: for
they know his voice" (John 10:4, ASV).Do you know His voice?
Perhaps it's time we take the principles found within this book and
learn to recognize all the ways that "He" can, and is speaking to
us.Pastor Joseph Landreth"Follow Me, and I will make you become
fishers of men." (Mark 1:17, NKJV)
Using the spin-Hamiltonian formalism the magnetic parameters are
introduced through the components of the Lambda-tensor involving
only the matrix elements of the angular momentum operator. The
energy levels for a variety of spins are generated and the modeling
of the magnetization, the magnetic susceptibility and the heat
capacity is done. Theoretical formulae necessary in performing the
energy level calculations for a multi-term system are prepared with
the help of the irreducible tensor operator approach. The goal of
the programming lies in the fact that the entire relevant matrix
elements (electron repulsion, crystal field, spin-orbit
interaction, orbital-Zeeman, and spin-Zeeman operators) are
evaluated in the basis set of free-atom terms. The modeling of the
zero-field splitting is done at three levels of sophistication. The
spin-Hamiltonian formalism offers simple formulae for the magnetic
parameters by evaluating the matrix elements of the angular
momentum operator in the basis set of the crystal-field terms. The
magnetic functions for dn complexes are modeled for a wide range of
the crystal-field strengths.
The subject of this work is controversial, but its message is
simple: the study of UFOs merits the serious attention of the
intellectual establishment. Advocating credibility for this
much-maligned field of research, historian David Jacobs and his
coauthors highlight some of the key events, issues, themes and
theories surrounding this elusive and complex subject. Whether
interplanetary tourists, interlopers from a parallel universe, or
mere misfirings in the brain, UFOs and ""aliens"" permeate popular
culture. They have made the covers of ""Time"", ""Life"", and the
""New York Times Book Review""; garnered CNN coverage; turned up on
""Larry King Live"" and other high-profile talk shows; attracted
large audiences for TV's ""X-Files"" and ""Roswell"", and for films
like ""ET"", ""Independence Day"", ""Men in Black"" and ""Close
Encounters of the Third Kind""; and swamped the Internet with
thousands of websites and discussion groups. Despite this pervasive
presense, few scholars have been willing to study the perplexing
phenomena behind these cultural signifiers. Wary of a field that
seems tainted by suspect methods and outlandish theories, many have
logically stayed away. The relative lack of academic participation,
however, creates a vicious circle that prevents the development of
standards that would attract greater academic participation and,
thus, credibility and funding for the field. Meanwhile, the
phenomenon, rather than fading from public awareness, continues to
grow and evolve. In response, this volume provides a kind of primer
for scholars, skeptics and others uneasy about investigating this
field. Its authors examine the nature of UFO ""evidence""; discuss
the methodological debates; incorporate research from science,
history, mythology and psychology; and highlight the reactions of
the government and military from the Cold War to the present. It
also brings together three bestselling authors - Jacobs, Budd
Hopkins and Pulitzer Prize-winner John Mack - widely known for
their writings on the highly controversial ""alien abduction""
phenomenon.
Comprising two volumes, Thermoelectrics and Its Energy Harvesting
reviews the dramatic improvements in technology and application of
thermoelectric energy with a specific intention to reduce and reuse
waste heat and improve novel techniques for the efficient
acquisition and use of energy. This volume, Modules, Systems and
Applications in Thermoelectrics, discusses the practical, novel,
and truly groundbreaking applications of thermoelectrics in a range
of markets. The book details the U.S. interest in alternative
energy and energy harvesting, specifically, the current efforts to
use thermoelectric generators (TGs) to reduce emissions.
Internationally, it expounds on the strong interest in Japan, Korea
and Europe to incorporate TGs in cars to reduce fuel consumption
and meet EU carbon dioxide emission targets; the European plans to
build an isotopic powered thermoelectric generator; and India's use
of TG s in converting hot water from steel mills into electricity.
