Jodie Whittaker stars in this London-set psychological thriller.
Mia (Whittaker) is an emotionally fragile young nurse struggling to
come to terms with her mother's recent death. When an old woman in
her building commits suicide in front of her, Mia becomes intensely
curious about her. Admitted into the old woman's flat by the
mysterious caretaker, Max (David Warner), Mia is shocked to
discover that it is filled with mementoes and belongings from Mia's
own past, including pictures of her abusive former lover Ludwig
(Dougray Scott). So begins a journey into her past in which Mia
finally learns to accept her own mistakes and faults, including her
strong affection for the partner who hurt her, even as she tries to
avoid the tragic ending that fate appears to have in store for her.
Emilia Fox co-stars.
"An American Family" is about the Warner family of Philadelphia's
Blockley Township. R. David Warner Sr., the author, is qualified to
write this book because he and his father are the twelfth and
thirteenth generation of a family which settled on the shores of
the Schuylkill River five years before William Penn laid out the
city. Before his death in 1992, the author's father wrote a series
of letters containing the stories told to him as a child in the
early twentieth century. He researched the public records of both
the Historical Societies and the Quaker Meetinghouse to build upon
the actual accounts of his family members. He spent the last twenty
years of his life collecting this historical information.
In the mid-nineteenth century, the author's great-grandfather
began building on the names and facts about family members. The
information he gathered was also used to write this book. Actual
letters written from the foxholes of the civil war are typical of
the documents used to complete this book. Our past can only be
retrieved from what we remember and from the historical records
that have been kept. Without memories and without records, we have
no personal history
The Chronicon of Thietmar of Merseburg has long been recognised as
one of the most important sources for the history of the tenth and
early eleventh centuries, especially for the history of the
Ottonian Empire. Thietmar's testimony also has special value
because of his geographical location, in eastern Saxony, on the
boundary between German and Slavic cultures. He is arguably the
single most important witness to the early history of Poland, and
his detailed descriptions of Slavic folklore are the earliest on
record. This is a very important source in the medieval period,
translated here in its entirety for the first time. It relates to
an area of medieval studies generally dominated by German scholars,
in which Anglo-phone scholars are beginning to make a substantial
contribution. -- .
In the original Karate Kid movie, Daniel-San famously learns "wax
on, wax off" before he understands what it really means and how it
is really teaching him an ancient martial art. This is a perfect
example of the concept known as "the esoteric" -- waxing the car
was a way to teach something else, a so-called "hidden (or
esoteric) meaning" that lies behind the action of wax on and wax
off. Mr. Miyagi did not select this teaching method in order to
deceive Danny -- he taught it that way because he knew it was the
BEST way to reach his student and help Danny (even though Danny
didn't understand it at first). The Undying Stars demonstrates that
the ancient scriptures of the world operate in exactly the same way
-- they are all a form of "wax on, wax off" which contain an
amazing esoteric message that is "hidden" inside. This includes the
stories of the gods of ancient Greece, of ancient Egypt, of ancient
India, of the Norse, of the Hawaiians and the Maori and the Maya
and the Inca and the Native American tribes and nations and of
almost every other culture around the world -- and it also includes
the stories found in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. The
masters who created these stories were not trying to deceive us,
any more than Mr. Miyagi was trying to deceive Daniel-San, and they
were not trying to keep these truths "hidden" so that nobody could
ever learn them: they intended the ancient scriptures to lead men
and women to consciousness and to awareness of the truth about the
human condition. But something terrible happened along the way: for
reasons of their own, a powerful group decided to suppress the
esoteric understanding of the Bible and replace it with a strictly
literalist interpretation: in other words, they silenced everyone
who was teaching Daniel-San how to "do karate" using "wax on, wax
off," and they got everyone to focus on waxing cars instead, as if
that was what the scriptures were all about. The Undying Stars
explores the evidence that the world's ancient sacred traditions --
including the Old and New Testaments -- are esoteric in nature,
intended to teach something as amazing as the system of karate that
was hidden in the act of waxing the car. It clearly shows the
system of extracting the esoteric meaning from the mythological
stories, using over seventy illustrations. It then discusses the
amazing "shamanic and holographic" teaching of that ancient "karate
system," and how it anticipates modern quantum physics by thousands
of years, and how it may help explain the incredible
accomplishments of ancient lost civilizations, accomplishments we
still cannot fully explain today. Finally, it shows how a group of
families during the Roman Empire conspired to steal the esoteric
teaching from humanity, and get everyone focused on "waxing the
car," while keeping the ability to "do karate" for themselves It
also shows that the descendants of these families are still "doing
karate" today, and getting away with it, because most of the world
only knows how to wax the car without understanding the meaning
behind the motions.

Brian Close is a true sporting icon: schoolboy cricket and football
prodigy, youngest ever England selection, played for England in 22
Tests over four successive decades, best win ratio of any England
captain ever, unfairly sacked by Yorkshire (about which the
protests of Yorkshire supporters are heard even now), loved a
flutter on the horses, hair-raising driver and, through it all, the
most likeable and popular of men. It was not until after Brian
Close's death in September 2015 that either David Warner or Ron
Deaton - or anyone else for that matter - had even the remotest
idea that the subject matter for this book ever existed. Only when
the scores of letters which Brian wrote in the early stages of his
career to lifelong friend, John Anderson, surfaced did it become
apparent that they were of major historical significance in
highlighting in great detail the day-to-day events of one of
cricket's best known personalities. To many, they will also be of
geographical interest as the letters and their envelopes show
exactly which hotels he stayed in while playing first-class cricket
in this country and in Australia and Pakistan. The details
contained in them are a graphic reminder of just how gifted a
sportsman Brian was, not only on a cricket field but when
participating in a multitude of other sports including soccer (on
the books of Leeds United, Arsenal and Bradford City),golf, boxing,
swimming and shooting to name but a few. It is over 70 years since
the first letters to John Anderson were penned and it is
extraordinary that they and all of the rest have survived the
passage of time. A remarkable set of circumstances led to them
being seen by Warner and Deaton and their astonishment upon sifting
through them was all the greater because there had never even been
the slightest suggestion that letter writing formed any part of
Brian's make-up. The letters, the autograph books which he filled
on John's behalf, and the other memorabilia contained within these
pages are part of a much wider collection which is now in the hands
of the Yorkshire Cricket Foundation. The material selected for this
book will surprise and enthral readers..
'They like the shadows. You know them as Plague Warriors...' When
the Doctor arrives in the 19th-century village of Klimtenburg, he
discovers the residents suffering from some kind of plague - a
'wasting disease'. The victims face a horrible death - but what's
worse, the dead seem to be leaving their graves. The Plague
Warriors have returned... The Doctor is confident he knows what's
really happening; he understands where the dead go, and he's sure
the Plague Warriors are just a myth. But as some of the Doctor's
oldest and most terrible enemies start to awaken he realises that
maybe - just maybe - he's misjudged the situation. Read by David
Warner, who played Professor Grisenko in the Doctor Who episode
Cold War, with Nicholas Briggs as the Cybermen. 6 CDs. 5 hrs 32
mins.
Live action sequel following the anthropomorphic ninjutsu-trained
turtles Leonardo (voice of Brian Tochi), Michaelangelo (Robbie
Rist), Donatello (Adam Carl) and Raphael (Laurie Faso). Professor
Perry (David Warner), the man who invented the ooze that created
the Ninja Turtles, is kidnapped by the evil Shredder (Francois
Chau) who wants to control the ooze to use on his own sidekicks and
turn them into evil ninjas. So once again, it's up to the Turtles -
who have also enlisted the help of kick-boxing pizza-delivery boy
Keno (Ernie Reyes)...
Uncover the spiritual cosmology of the ancients Virtually all the
world's sacred traditions are built upon a common esoteric system
of celestial allegory. In The Undying Stars, you will see how that
system works, and why the ancients thought it was so important. You
will find evidence that the message that these esoteric myths were
intended to convey includes a shamanic-holographic worldview of
tremendous sophistication . . . and profound significance. A
worldview which anticipated quantum physics by many thousands of
years. And you will encounter evidence that this ancient wisdom was
deliberately suppressed by forces who took over the Roman Empire
and then launched a violent campaign to eradicate the ancient
esoteric system, first in Europe and then in the rest of the world
. . .
Mathisen, David Warner. "The Mathisen Corollary: Connecting a
Global Flood with the Mysteries of Mankind's Ancient Past."
Examines the geological evidence that the earth experienced a
global catastrophic flood and uses a specific flood theory to
investigate numerous mysteries of human history, such as the
presence of advanced astronomical knowledge in Egyptian, Sumerian,
Babylonian and Greek mythology and the possibility that ancient
civilizations understood sophisticated mathematical concepts such
as phi, that they knew the size and shape of the earth, and that
they could and did cross the oceans regularly long before
conventional history admits was possible. Presents arguments for
ancient cultural contact between continents using mythology and
archaeology, as well as evidence from human remains. Demonstrates
ways in which the geological evidence of a catastrophic flood
explains historical mysteries, and how the human historical
evidence bolsters the geological theory of a catastrophic global
flood.
