Based on the video game series of the same name, this sci-fi adventure directed by Justin Kurzel follows the story of Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender), a career criminal saved from execution by the modern day Templars of the secretive Abstergo Industries. Using technology called the Animus, Callum is forced to relive the memories of his ancestor, Aguilar (Fassbender), an Assassin during the Spanish Inquisition. Alan Rikkin (Jeremy Irons) and his daughter Sophia (Marion Cotillard) conduct their experiments on Callum, while he gains the skills of his ancestor to fight the Templars of today.

Paul Feig directs this comedy sequel starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. 30 years after their male predecessors saved the world from the ghosts and ghouls that haunted it, the new Ghostbusters Abby (McCarthy), Erin (Wiig), Jillian (McKinnon) and Patty (Jones) get news of spirits lurking beneath the streets of New York City. With the help of their secretary Kevin (Chris Hemsworth), the ladies don the famous boiler suits and set out on a mission to destroy the ghosts and save the world.

The role of capital punishment in America has been criticised by those for and against the death penalty, by the judiciary, academics, the media and by prison personnel. This book demonstrates that it is the inconsistent and often incoherent jurisprudence of the United States Supreme Court which accounts for a system so lacking in public confidence. Using case studies, Kenneth Williams examines issues such as jury selection, ineffective assistance of counsel, the role of race and claims of innocence which affect the Court's decisions and how these decisions are played out in the lower courts, often an inmate's last recourse before execution. Discussing international treaties and their lack of impact on capital punishment in America, this book has international appeal and makes an important contribution to legal scholarship. It also provides a unique understanding of the dynamics of an alarmingly problematic system and will be valuable to those interested in human rights and criminal justice.

Following the bestselling publication of THE KENNETH WILLIAMS DIARIES, the devastating self-portrait of one of our most loved and complex performers is completed with this marvellous selection of his letters. This is a wonderful treasure trove of correspondence with all manner of people, including Alec Guinness, Maggie Smith, Joe Orton, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, and the Stokers' Mess of HMS Leverton. Kenneth Williams took letters very seriously, and he was always disgusted by a morning that failed to provide him with some material to pore over. Letters called forth the performer in Williams in a way that his diaries never did: many of them are virtual comic monologues, and in general they suggest more strongly than the diaries the likeable and constructive side of a man who remains, nevertheless, as outrageous and 'difficult' as ever.

Applying Construction Mathematics to Residential Material Estimating
This book was written to assist carpentry instructors and general contractor's in understanding common construction mathematical calculations. Although measuring devices and calculators are common, quick, and easy to use, they can limit your thinking abilities. Section one of this book shows how to calculate fractions, decimals, area, volume, and angled measurements without the use of these tools. This section also highlights the four basic math operations and the relationship between them.
You will also find formulas, factors, and accurate short cuts that will save you time and money. Section two of this book shows how materials are measured and sold using practical exercises. Example: if you are use to calculating drywall by dividing the total square feet by 32 then check this out a ceiling area of 200 sf will need 6.25 sheets or 7 total sheets (2 2 2 1)take the first 2 and turn the other two zeros into 2s and add 1 (1 is for the .25. Also listed in this second section is helpful information such as job time lines, wages, taxes and insurances.

Game theory studies the strategic interaction of people within various institutions such as political, economic, or other social institutions that are governed by a set or rules or principals. Game theory provides solutions to these strategic interactions by developing models based on assumptions about human behavior and the institution where the interaction occurs. Game theory is an interdisciplinary method to examine decision making in the fields of economics, political science, psychology, sociology, mathematics, computer programming, and biology. This book is an introduction to game theory but differs from other excellent introduction game theory texts by taking a behavioral approach. This means that basic game theory concepts are explained by using results from laboratory experiments that examine how real people behave when they participate in the games that are modeled. This approach is referred to as behavioral game theory and it seeks to use psychological reasoning to explain deviations in the predictions of standard game theory models. Behavior game theory allows for the study of how human emotions affect decision making using the assumptions of game theory. Although the study of game theory is somewhat technical because it uses mathematics to construct the various models, the intuition behind game theory is actually normative and nontechnical. This book takes a very nontechnical approach to the study of game theory so that only minimum math skills are needed to follow the discussion in the book. The importance of game theory lies in the deductive process of reasoning and understanding how to construct models of social interaction, and not the mathematics that are involved.
