From Oscar-nominated visionary filmmaker Baz Luhrmann comes Warner Bros. Pictures' drama Elvis, starring Austin Butler and Oscar winner Tom Hanks.
The film explores the life and music of Elvis Presley, seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker. The story delves into the complex dynamic between Presley and Parker spanning over 20 years, from Presley's rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America.
Central to that journey is one of the most significant and influential people in Elvis's life, Priscilla Presley.
8 Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, Best Sound, Best Makeup and Hairstyling.
Environmental pollution by man-made Persistent Organic Chemicals
(POCs) has been a serious global issue for over half a century.
Exposure to POCs may result in health effects, including, endocrine
disruption leading to birth defects, intellectual disability, low
testosterone, childhood obesity, autism and attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Therefore, POCs have been the
subject of intensive regional, national, and international efforts
to limit the production, use, and disposal of these chemicals.
Since POCs are ubiquitous and recalcitrant, and cause long-term
effects on wildlife and humans, trend monitoring studies are
valuable in making clear the behavior and fate of these compounds
and to protect our environment and living resources. The Pacific
Basin is a unique geographical region representing tropical,
temperate and polar zones. This region is home to two-thirds of the
world's population and consists of rapidly growing economies
(countries) and highly developed countries. Due to this diversity
of climatic and socio-economic conditions, environment and biota in
different countries in this basin have varying degrees of
environmental contamination and effects on wildlife and humans. The
Pacific Rim countries play a pivotal role in governing global POC
contamination and resulting harmful health effects. Because
articles on POCs and their effect on environment and health are
published in a large number of different journals, it is useful to
have a book that includes original papers and reviews on the latest
advances by well-known scientists in the field, especially focusing
on the countries in the Pacific Rim. The two volumes of this book
satisfy this need. Topics covered in Volume 1 include an overview
of POCs contamination status and trends in the Pacific Basin
Countries; human exposure to brominated flame retardants; POCs in
sediments, soil and atmosphere of South Korea; and new research on
sequestration and redistribution of emerging and classical
persistent organic pollutants by polystyrene. The collection of
chapters in these volumes may serve as a reasonable representation
of current and future trends of POCs in the Pacific Basin
countries. It is hoped that the book can inspire students and
researchers, as well as professionals, to facilitate the
understanding of the environmental and biological behavior of these
persistent chemicals and to help in the development of strategies
and practices for protecting the global environment for future
generations.
This incisive Research Handbook addresses the growing recognition
within the international law community that natural resource
governance and environmental protection are crucial aspects of
peace processes, both as a security imperative and as an
opportunity for peacebuilding. Examining the impact of
international normative and institutional frameworks on
environmental peacebuilding, this Research Handbook features
contributions from distinguished experts and global case studies on
integrated legal approaches to the governance of natural resources.
Chapters examine the role of international legal obligations on
fair and equitable benefit-sharing in environmental protection, the
contribution of the UN and other international institutions to
environmental peacebuilding, and the nexus between access to
environmental services and peacebuilding efforts. The compelling
conclusion explores contemporary approaches for improving the
inclusivity of environmental peacebuilding, considering the role of
gender and indigenous peoples’ perspectives. The Research
Handbook on International Law and Environmental Peacebuilding will
be crucial reading for students and scholars in environmental law,
environmental politics and policy, peace and security studies and
public international law. Its comprehensive treatment will also be
beneficial to policymakers in international environmental and
peacebuilding organizations.
This monograph expounds on general Yang-Mills symmetry, a new
symmetry based on arbitrary vector gauge functions and Hamilton's
characteristic phase functions in the gauge transformations of
Abelian and non-Abelian groups. General Yang-Mills symmetry
includes the conventional gauge symmetries as special cases and is
useful for describing phenomena at scales ranging from the
super-macroscopic such as dark matter, to the ultra-microscopic
such as the quantum 3-body problem of baryons. Moreover, this
symmetry supports the Broader Particle-Cosmology framework based on
particle physics and quantum Yang-Mills gravity in flat space-time,
which can explain why the gravitational force is always attractive.
This volume also discusses how CPT invariance in particle physics
suggests a 'Big Jets' model for the birth of the universe,
proposing one explanation for the dearth of anti-matter in our
universe. Finally, we discuss a simplified quantum shell model for
N baryons with a quark Hamiltonian and a Sonine-Laguerre equation
that gives reasonable eigenvalues for the energies of the 29 N
baryons.
How did Tiger Woods become the greatest of all time?
And how did he fall so spectacularly?
Tiger Woods is unrivalled as an athlete. He made the ultimate
commitment to his chosen sport - and transformed it.
Before the age of twenty-five, he rose to phenomenon status: twice
named 'Sportsman of the Year' by Sports Illustrated, champion of more
than thirty professional tournaments and the youngest player to win all
four Grand Slam tournaments.
Tiger, Tiger taps into the transformative moments of Woods's life,
revealing in vivid, dramatic scenes what he saw and felt on the course
and in his inner life - from his only 'perfect' shot to his missed
first putt at the 1995 Masters through his recent comeback tours.
Through a compelling series of original interviews, passionate golfer
