Sci-fi thriller directed by Wally Pfister and starring Johnny Depp.
Dr. Will Caster (Depp) is one of the leading scientists in the
world due to his pioneering work in creating sentient artificial
intelligence. However, with fame and success comes the attention of
a technophobic extremist group seeking to put an end to his work
before he creates something beyond human control. When Caster is
shot by a member of the group and falls victim to radiation
poisoning, there is no hope for his survival. With the help of his
wife Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) and friend Max (Paul Bettany) he decides
to continue his latest project by linking his mind with that of the
computer and creating technology more intelligent than the
collective capability of the entire human race. While his earthly
body dies, Caster's mind is fully embedded within the computer and
he soon begins to exercise the potential of his newly-gained power.
But with this power comes great destruction which threatens the
future of mankind...

Based on Peter Morgan's stage play, Ron Howard directs this
dramatised account of the 1977 TV interviews between scandalised
former President Richard Nixon and British talk-show host David
Frost. Three years after the Watergate scandal that led to his
demise, former president Richard Nixon (Frank Langella) sat down
with Frost (Michael Sheen) to discuss, for the first and only time,
the details of his term in the White House and his spectacular fall
from grace. With the famously steely Nixon confident that he could
come out tops in the encounter, and Frost's side questioning
whether this was a step too far, media commentators prepared
themselves for a PR exercise. But when the interviews got underway,
observers were astonished when both men abandoned their usual
stances, and chose to conduct an open, honest and frank exchange of
views, covering all the areas of concern that had previously
remained off-limits. In addition to covering the interviews
themselves, the film also traces the difficulties that had to be
overcome, and egos that had to massaged, before the historic events
could finally take place.
With a focus on how to perform and effectively interpret pelvic
ultrasound exams, Pelvic Ultrasound Imaging: A Cased-Based
Application offers a unique learning experience that is ideal for
ob/gyn and radiology practitioners and residents, urogynecology
practitioners and fellows, diagnostic medical sonographers and
those who are studying for Board exams. Current cases in gynecology
and urogynecology are presented in a step-by-step format based on
resident and fellow one-on-one didactic oral case reviews. An
expert walk-through for each case's imaging set includes directive
questions to help the reader perform proper exam assessment. This
workbook: Presents cases in the way a clinical day unfolds, varied
and unrelated to the previous case. Cases get progressively harder,
increasingly challenging the reader's interpretation skills while
moving through the text. Provides step-by-step instruction
throughout, including development of 3D volume set skills,
reporting nomenclature, discussion of diagnostic criteria,
instrumentation topics, and clinical correlation. Highlights the
importance of critically assessing, not merely diagnosing based on
a presumed classic image appearance for the most common
pathologies. Includes examples of common gynecology cases such as
ovarian corpus luteum, hemorrhagic corpus luteum, uterine
leiomyomata, endometrial polyps, and caesarean section scars, as
well as more uncommon cases. Includes examples of common pelvic
floor cases such as normal anal sphincter complex and thickened
bladder wall, as well as more uncommon urogynecology pathologies
such as rectal vaginal fistula, rectal prolapse, and mesh
assessment. Walks the reader through each case with directive
questions to improve diagnostic appraisal. Includes up to five
images per case along with exam findings and brief clinical
correlations. Provides videos on Elsevier eBooks for Practicing
Clinicians that illustrate typically encountered real-time dynamic
changes. Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your
enhanced eBook allows you access to all of the text, figures,
reporting templates, and references from the book on a variety of
devices.

Steven Spielberg directs this adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel
starring Mark Rylance as the Big Friendly Giant. The film follows
Sophie (Ruby Barnhill) as she is whisked away from her orphanage by
the BFG and taken to Giant Country where she is immediately at risk
of being eaten by the other, larger giants, including
Fleshlumpeater (Jemaine Clement) and Bloodbottler (Bill Hader).
Together, Sophie and the BFG go on an adventure to Dream Country
where they capture dreams for the BFG to give to all of the human
world's sleeping children. After coming up with a cunning plan, the
pair head back to London to see if the Queen (Penelope Wilton) can
help them tackle the problem of the bullying, child-eating giants.

The intriguing facts and faces, history and places of Wisconsin
are revealed to readers young and old in "B is for Badger: A
Wisconsin Alphabet." From its leaders in fine arts and architecture
(Georgia O'Keefe and Frank Lloyd Wright) to its pioneers in nature
conservation (John Muir and Aldo Leopold), Wisconsin has been an
influence on major movements in education, industry, and use of
natural resources. Brought to life with lyric rhymes and
expressive, original artwork, "B is for Badger" showcases for
natives and visitors alike the splendors of Wisconsin.
Born in Tower, Minnesota, Kathy-jo Wargin has spent a great deal
of time in the upper Midwest. Previously, she teamed up with

This book will help the reader get to know their unconscious mind
through a series of exercises. Results will serve all curious
readers well, especially psychotherapists, writers, artists, actors
and others working in the world of creativity. It is important for
all of us to achieve a deeper understanding of who we are, with the
satisfaction that commonly comes with that. Readers will be able to
set free their hidden selves to direct their lives in new and
satisfying directions. Humans have a complex unconscious mind,
containing vital information about who we are, who we were and
where we are going. Sigmund Freud deserves the most credit for
pointing systematically to channels of access. Today's neuroscience
has tested these points of access and is suggesting new ones. This
book introduces five well-established methods of gaining useful
access to our unconscious mind. The authors have taught the theory,
science, and practice discussed in this book for over fifteen years
at Stanford University to people of all ages, backgrounds, and
interests. Having witnessed the growth of their students, they are
confident about the positive contributions these exercises make to
psychotherapy, creative work, and the sheer enjoyment of new
horizons in our lives.
This book introduces the reader and student to the unconscious
mind, the hidden treasures and dangers it holds. It contains some
very basic, useful, and empirically supported facts from depth
psychology, which allows everyone access to deeply hidden aspects
of themselves.

pass you by. Find your true self by trying something new. This book
of quirky ideas, fun-filled tips, and thought-provoking quotations

large.
Crime drama, directed by Ben Affleck and based on the award-winning
novel, 'Prince of Thieves', by Chuck Hogan. Affleck also stars as
Doug MacRay, one of four masked criminals who rob a bank. Doug
falls for one of the bank workers, Claire (Rebecca Hall), who is
distressed after the robbery. Claire, unaware Doug was one of the
robbers, reciprocates his feelings. Can Doug keep up the facade or
will the law catch up with him?
'A must-read graphic history. . . an inspired and inspiring defence
of heroic women whose struggles could be fuel for a more just
future' Guardian 'Not only a riveting tale of Black women's
leadership of slave revolts but an equally dramatic story of the
engaged scholarship that enabled its discovery' Angela Y. Davis
Women warriors planned and led slave revolts on slave ships during
the passage across the Atlantic. They fought their enslavers
throughout the Americas. And then they were erased from history. In
Wake Rebecca Hall, a historian, a granddaughter of slaves, and a
woman haunted by the legacy of slavery, tells their story. With
in-depth archival research and a measured use of historical
imagination, she constructs the likely pasts of women rebels who
fought for freedom on slave ships bound to America, as well as the
stories of women who led slave revolts in Colonial New York.
Beneath both is Hall's own tale: of a life lived in the shadow of
slavery and its consequences. Strikingly illustrated in black and
white, Wake explores both a personal and a global legacy. Part
graphic novel, part memoir, it is a powerful reminder that while
the past is gone, we still live in its wake.
