Horror film based on the 1978 'video nasty' shocker of the same
name. Sarah Butler stars as Jennifer, a writer who retreats to a
cabin in the woods to begin work on her new book. While there, she
is brutally raped by a group of local men whom she encountered en
route to the cabin. The attack escalates and Jennifer only narrowly
escapes with her life - but survive she does, and returns to the
locale to carry out the most gruesome revenge on her attackers that
she can possibly devise.

strategies. A concise, yet comprehensive overview of the current
status of the topic, Management of the Patient at High Risk for
Breast Cancer serves as a useful resource for physicians and
researchers dealing with and interested in patients at high risk
for breast cancer.
The discipline of developmental toxicology is an integration of
concepts, models, and methodologies based heavily on the
superimposition of toxicology principles upon the science of
developmental biology. The science of developmental toxicology also
borrows from other research areas that are concerned with
regulation of cell growth, migration, differentiation and cell
death, as such are central to the study of stem cells, cancer, and
chronic diseases. In Developmental Toxicology: Methods and
Protocols expert researchers in the field detail many of the
methods which are now commonly used to study developmental
toxicology highlighting the evolution of methods from classical
teratology approaches to the dynamic, state-of-the-art molecular
methods, systems biology, and next generation models and
procedures. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular
Biology (TM) series format, chapters include introductions to their
respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents,
step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key
tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative
and practical, Developmental Toxicology: Methods and Protocols is a
valuable resource to those planning experiments to investigate
consequences of environmental, nutritional, or chemical effects
caused during development.
James O. Leckie Environmental Engineering and Science Program,
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Stanford
University, Stanford, California 94305-4020, USA Nearly 10 years
have passed since the beginning of the systematic studies of the
Lerma-Chapala Basin coordinated by the Instituto Mexicano de
Tecnologia del Agua. Although many public and private institutions,
universities and research centers have conducted studies on the
Lerma Chapala Basin over the last two decades, the need for a
comprehensive summary of the findings of those studies has become
increasingly obvious and important for this critical water
resource. The Lerma-Chapala Basin is located in the central part of
Mexico, and partly occupies five states. The watershed comprises
the Lerma river and Lake Chapala. With a length of over 700 km, the
tributary watershed covers 2 approximately 54,000 km . The basin
accounts for more than one-third of the country's economic
activity, one-fifth of all commerce and one-eighth of the nation's
agricultural land. The watershed receives 3% of the country's total
rainfall, less than 1 % of the runoff, and accounts for 13% of the
total groundwater."
Hansen solubility parameters (HSPs) are used to predict molecular
affinities, solubility, and solubility-related phenomena. Revised
and updated throughout, Hansen Solubility Parameters: A User's
Handbook, Second Edition features the three Hansen solubility
parameters for over 1200 chemicals and correlations for over 400
materials including polymers, inorganic salts, and biological
materials.
To update his groundbreaking handbook with the latest advances
and perspectives, Charles M. Hansen has invited five renowned
experts to share their work, theories, and practical applications
involving HSPs. New discussions include a new statistical
thermodynamics approach for confirming existing HSPs and how they
fit into other thermodynamic theories for polymer solutions.
Entirely new chapters examine the prediction of environmental
stress cracking as well as absorption and diffusion in polymers.
Highlighting recent findings on interactions with DNA, the
treatment of biological materials also includesskin tissue,
proteins, natural fibers, and cholesterol. The book also covers the
latest applications of HSPs, such as ozone-safe "designer"
solvents, protective clothing, drug delivery systems, and petroleum
applications.
Presenting a comprehensive survey of the theoretical and
practical aspects of HSPs, Hansen Solubility Parameters, Second
Edition concludes with a detailed discussion on the necessary
research, future directions, and potential applications for which
HSPs can provide a useful means of prediction in areas such as
biological materials, controlled release applications,
nanotechnology, and self-assembly.
Cyber-physical-social systems (CPSS) integrate computing, physical
assets, and human networks. Divided into four application areas to
the electric grid, this book describes state-of-the-art CPSS in
electric power systems, including detailed approaches on social
constructs which are a critical aspect of the end-user realm. The
book covers: Grid stability and security: distributed controls and
algorithms for stability, cyber-security of generator units, and
dynamic contingency analysis in the grid. Distribution system
controls and economics: aggregators and agents for demand response,
electric vehicles integration, smart neighbourhoods, and
microgrids. Social aspects and implementation: sociological
customer interactions with the grid, SCADA systems, and occupants'
roles in commercial buildings. Testbeds for validation:
cyber-physical security assessment and distributed real time
digital simulation. This book will be invaluable to academics and
professional engineers engaged in cyber-physical social system
applications for power engineering. It will also be of interest to
social scientists, economists, and business personnel working on
engineering applications for the Smart Grid, and students of power
engineering.
The Case for Congress: Separation of Powers and the War on Terror
examines the constitutional relationship between Congress and the
President in the post-September 11 world, arguing that Congress
should exercise its legitimate authority in guiding United States
policy. While many commentators have focused on the extent of the
President's national security and foreign affairs authority, both
domestically and abroad, this title focuses on the constitutional
authority of Congress to serve as a check on executive power. As a
national consensus has developed around the notion that the Bush
administration made grave errors in its policy decisions, a
reminder of the leading role that Congress can play in those
decisions is particularly appropriate. Unlike scholarly work
devoted either to detailing or criticizing the Bush
administration's policy decisions, this accessible and balanced
book focuses on the policies themselves, and on the way in which
Congress can influence those policies for the better. The authors
further offer specific and useful recommendations for legislative
measures that may correct existing policy deficiencies and promote
sounder decision-making in the area of national security and
foreign affairs.
Finalist, 2021 Bram Stoker Awards (Superior Achievement in
Non-Fiction) The first collection of essays to address Satan's
ubiquitous and popular appearances in film Lucifer and cinema have
been intertwined since the origins of the medium. As humankind's
greatest antagonist and the incarnation of pure evil, the cinematic
devil embodies our own culturally specific anxieties and desires,
reflecting moviegoers' collective conceptions of good and evil,
right and wrong, sin and salvation. Giving the Devil His Due is the
first book of its kind to examine the history and significance of
Satan onscreen. This collection explores how the devil is not just
one monster among many, nor is he the "prince of darkness" merely
because he has repeatedly flickered across cinema screens in
darkened rooms since the origins of the medium. Satan is instead a
force active in our lives. Films featuring the devil, therefore,
are not just flights of fancy but narratives, sometimes
reinforcing, sometimes calling into question, a familiar belief
system. From the inception of motion pictures in the 1890s and
continuing into the twenty-first century, these essays examine what
cinematic representations tell us about the art of filmmaking, the
desires of the film-going public, what the cultural moments of the
films reflect, and the reciprocal influence they exert. Loosely
organized chronologically by film, though some chapters address
more than one film, this collection studies such classic movies as
Faust, Rosemary's Baby, The Omen, Angel Heart, The Witch, and The
Last Temptation of Christ, as well as the appearance of the Devil
in Disney animation. Guiding the contributions to this volume is
the overarching idea that cinematic representations of Satan
reflect not only the hypnotic powers of cinema to explore and
depict the fantastic but also shifting social anxieties and desires
that concern human morality and our place in the universe.

Music, myth, and horror blend in this romantic,
"eerie...atmospheric" (Publishers Weekly) fantasy debut about a
teen girl who must fight a powerful evil that's invaded her Prince
Edward Island home-perfect for fans of An Enchantment of Ravens.
There's a certain wild magic in the salt air and the thrum of the
sea. Beet MacNeill has known this all her life. It added spice to
her childhood adventures with her older cousin, Gerry, the two of
them thick as thieves as they explored their Prince Edward Island
home. So when Gerry comes up the path one early spring morning,
Beet thinks nothing of it at first. But he is soaking wet and
silent, and he plays a haunting tune on his fiddle that chills Beet
to the bone. Something is very, very wrong. Things only get worse
when Marina Shaw saunters into town and takes an unsettling
interest in Gerry's new baby. Local lore is filled with tales of a
vicious shape-shifting sea creature and the cold, beautiful woman
who controls him-a woman who bears a striking resemblance to
Marina. Beet is determined to find out what happened to her beloved
cousin, and to prevent the same fate from befalling the handsome
new boy in town who is winning her heart, whether she wants him to
or not. Yet the sea always exacts a price...

Schriften zu zentralen philosophischen und gesellschaftlichen
Fragestellungen der Antike und zu deren Fortwirken in der Moderne.
Many years after the United States initiated a military response to
the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, the nation continues
to prosecute what it considers an armed conflict against
transnational terrorist groups. Understanding how the law of armed
conflict applies to and regulates military operations executed
within the scope of this armed conflict against transnational
non-state terrorist groups is as important today as it was in
September 2001. In The War on Terror and the Laws of War seven
legal scholars, each with experience as military officers, focus on
how to strike an effective balance between the necessity of using
armed violence to subdue a threat to the nation with the
humanitarian interest of mitigating the suffering inevitably
associated with that use. Each chapter addresses a specific
operational issue, including the national right of self-defense,
military targeting and the use of drones, detention, interrogation,
trial by military commission of captured terrorist operatives, and
the impact of battlefield perspectives on counter-terror military
operations, while illustrating how the law of armed conflict
influences resolution of that issue. This Second Edition carries on
the critical mission of continuing the ongoing dialogue about the
law from an unabashedly military perspective, bringing practical
wisdom to the contentious topic of applying international law to
the battlefield.

During the years leading up to World War I, America experienced a
crisis of civic identity. How could a country founded on liberal
principles and composed of increasingly diverse cultures unite to
safeguard individuals and promote social justice? In this book,
Jonathan Hansen tells the story of a group of American
intellectuals who believed the solution to this crisis lay in
rethinking the meaning of liberalism.
Intellectuals such as William James, John Dewey, Jane Addams,
Eugene V. Debs, and W. E. B. Du Bois repudiated liberalism's
association with acquisitive individualism and laissez-faire
economics, advocating a model of liberal citizenship whose virtues
and commitments amount to what Hansen calls cosmopolitan
patriotism. Rooted not in war but in dedication to social equity,
cosmopolitan patriotism favored the fight against sexism, racism,
and political corruption in the United States over battles against
foreign foes. Its adherents held the domestic and foreign policy of
the United States to its own democratic ideals and maintained that
promoting democracy universally constituted the ultimate form of
self-defense. Perhaps most important, the cosmopolitan patriots
regarded critical engagement with one's country as the essence of
patriotism, thereby justifying scrutiny of American militarism in
wartime.
