British 'zomcom' (or zombie comedy, if you prefer) starring Danny
Dyer. When six men suffering from various symptoms of mid-life
angst head off for a weekend in a remote country village to
reconnect with their masculinity, they discover that all the women
there have been infected with a virus that turns them into
man-hating cannibals. The idea of a mid-life crisis quickly pales
into insignificance compared with the catastrophe the men now face.
'Wicked witches, bad fairies, and the restless dead be damned, for
those who are looking to fill up their folk horror fiction shelves,
Damnable Tales is a must-have' Andy Paciorek, Horrified Magazine 'I
had to keep pulling myself away from it so I didn't finish it in
one sitting . . . An incredible book' Annie Kapur, Vocal Media This
richly illustrated anthology gathers together classic short stories
from masters of supernatural fiction including M. R. James,
Sheridan Le Fanu and Arthur Machen, alongside lesser-known voices
in the field including Eleanor Scott and Margery Lawrence, and
popular writers less bound to the horror genre, such as Thomas
Hardy and E. F. Benson. These are damnable tales, selected and
beautifully illustrated by Richard Wells. They stalk the moors at
night, the deep forests, cornered fields and dusky churchyards, the
narrow lanes and old ways of these ancient places, drawing upon the
haunted landscapes of folk-horror - a now widely used term first
applied to a series of British films from the late 1960s and 1970s:
Witchfinder General (1968), Blood on Satan's Claw (1971), and The
Wicker Man (1973). But as this collection shows, writers of uncanny
fiction were dabbling in the dark side of folklore long before.
These twenty-two stories take the reader beyond the safety and
familiarity of the town into the isolated and untamed wilderness.
Unholy rites, witches' curses, sinister village traditions and
ancient horrors that lurk within the landscape all combine to
remind us that the shiny modern, urban world might not have all the
answers...
The first edition of Planned Short-Term Treatment established
itself as an essential guide for social work and other clinical
practitioners by showing them how, by limiting the duration and
scope of treatment, they can help their clients solve the problems
that bring them to therapy. In this revised edition, the author
maintains this focus on social work practice while integrating
several new approaches. He includes a new chapter on marital and
family intervention which clinically illustrates the practice
applications of such theories as One-Person Family Therapy and the
Relationship Enhancement approach to marital therapy. He also
incorporates the new advances in the treatment of anxiety and
depression through a discussion of both cognitive therapy and
interpersonal psychotherapy, and includes new sections dealing with
very brief psychotherapy (one to two sessions). Planned Short-Term
Treatment, Second Edition, will be both an invaluable text for
social work students and a comprehensive guide for the social work
practitioner and other mental health professionals.
Beware the buried skull underfoot and watch out for children with
fur on their backs... Blood on Satan's Claw is widely regarded as
part of the ‘unholy trinity’ of cult classics which gave birth
to the film genre that would become known as folk horror. Along
with The Wicker Man and Witchfinder General, it found new ways to
terrify audiences using elements of superstition and folklore. Now,
fifty years after its release, readers can experience the
unearthing of this terror in the film’s first official
novelisation: a compelling and frightening retelling of the fate of
unfortunate villagers sacrificed by their own children as devil
worship infiltrates their rural existence. Written by the film’s
original screenwriter Robert Wynne-Simmons and featuring haunting
new illustrations from Richard Wells, it is an atmospheric and
defining cult classic in the making.
Protectionism is back on the agenda as the financial crisis
deepens. With calls for measures that purport to protect low income
workers growing louder in the West, it is essential that the
economic arguments in favour of free trade and globalization are
re-emphasised.Philip Booth and Richard Wellings have brought
together key papers originally published by the Institute of
Economic Affairs, which, for the past 50 years, has been vigorously
defending the case for free trade, and for globalization more
generally. These important papers, which are not widely available,
trace the development of the debate on the benefits of free trade
during the last 50 years. The editors have written an authoritative
introduction which offers a comprehensive overview of the arguments
for and against globalization.
Government management of fisheries has been little short of
disastrous. In many regions, valuable fish stocks have collapsed as
a result of overfishing. Ill-conceived regulation also means that
every year millions of tons of edible fish are thrown back dead
into the sea. While an absence of established property rights means
that wild fish are vulnerable to overfishing, the problem is
greatly exacerbated by large subsidies. State intervention has
created significant overcapacity in the industry and undermined the
economic feedback mechanisms that help to protect stocks. This
short book sets out a range of policy options to improve outcomes.
As well as ending counterproductive subsidies, these include
community-based management of coastal zones and the introduction of
individual transferable quotas. The analysis is particularly
relevant to the UK as it begins the process of withdrawal from the
European Union. After decades of mismanagement under the Common
Fisheries Policy, Brexit represents a major opportunity to adopt an
economically rational approach that benefits the fishing industry,
taxpayers and consumers.
This Tax Guide is an easy to use and understandable reference for
anyone, including tax professionals, who prepare 2013 income tax
returns. The Guide follows the flow of a tax return, from filing
status and requirements through tax credits. It is primarily for
use in preparing individual and small business tax returns, with
chapters that include detailed discussions on employee travel and
entertainment expenses, depreciation, and carrying on a trade or
business as a sole proprietor, partnership, farmer, and
S-Corporation. It also includes informative language and examples
on classifying workers as employees vs. independent contractors,
and reasonable salaries for S-Corporation shareholders. A unique
feature of this Guide compared to others on the market is a chapter
devoted to dealing with the IRS, which alone is worth getting this
Guide as a reference. It includes detailed information on
applicable penalties for underpayment of taxes, failure to file,
failure to pay, and how to avoid paying penalties and interest. It
discusses how taxpayers can meet the eligibility requirements for
the IRS "Fresh Start" program which is designed to help financially
distressed taxpayers resolve tax problems more quickly and relieve
them of certain penalties. Also, First-Time Penalty Abatement and
the "Fast Track Settlement Program" are addressed, which are IRS
initiatives designed to help taxpayers. The chapter on dealing with
the IRS includes a section on IRS audits that talks about IRS
notices and the Agency's latest concentration on its audit-by-mail
program. It discusses how to survive an IRS audit, how to handle a
dispute over a tax liability, how to prepare a request for appeals,
closing agreements, offers in compromise, and what happens in Tax
Court. Perhaps the most important chapter in this Guide is the one
about the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act," also known
as Obamacare. This chapter discusses in detail all of the
compliance and tax provisions of the law, including the additional
0.9% Medicare surtax on high-income earners, the 3.8% surtax on
"net investment Income" of high-income earners, and the 2.3% excise
tax on medical devices. The individual and employer mandates are
discussed in detail, including penalties, exemptions, the IRS role
in implementing the mandates, and the latest implementation
timelines. While some IRS regulations and court cases are referred
to in this Guide, the aim was to keep such references to a minimum.
The goal was to discuss, in plain English, what is required and not
required by tax laws and regulations without the legal jargon as
much as possible, and to give understandable examples where needed.
We believe our goal has been achieved by publishing this tax book.

In this Hobart Paper, the authors -- transport economics Oliver
Knipping and Richard Wellings -- propose the privatisation of the
UK road network. In doing so, they examine the traditional
objections to privatisation and find them wanting. in lively
discussion, making good use of practical examples, the authors also
look at related issues such as road taxation, the planning system,
pricing, regulation and the management of congestion. Whilst the
authors admit that there are valid objections to road privatisation
-- and straightforward privatisation may not suit all types of
roads -- there are many imaginative schemes outlined that could
deal with those objections. The authors also show that the
nationalisation of roads has not been a success. This study is
essential reading for policy-makers, academics and students in the
field of transport and logistics.
