Jason Statham reprises his role as the hitman Arthur 'The Mechanic'
Bishop alongside Jessica Alba and Tommy Lee Jones in this action
thriller sequel.
After retiring as a contract killer, Bishop attempts to put his murderous past behind him by starting a new life in Brazil with girlfriend Gina. However, when Gina is kidnapped by a formidable enemy, Bishop is ordered to carry out three seemingly impossible assassinations on very high profile targets if he wants to see her alive again.
Facing a race against time, Bishop must do all he can to complete his objectives before it's too late.

Human Factors of Stereoscopic Displays provides an overview of all
vision-relevant topics and issues that inform stereo display design
from a user-centric or human factor, perspective. Although both the
basic vision science literature and the applied literature will be
reviewed, the strength and originality of this book comes from the
emphasis on the basic science literature on human stereo vision and
its implications for stereo display design. The reader will learn
how to design stereo displays from a human vision/human factors
perspective. Over the past several years, there has been a growing
interest in the development of high-quality displays that present
binocular parallax information to the human visual system for
inducing the perception of three-dimensional depth. The methods for
presenting binocular parallax to an observer vary widely and
include three broad categories of display: stereoscopic,
holographic and volumetric displays. Because the technology for
stereoscopic displays is more developed and more widely used, than
those based on holography or volumetric methods, the proposed book
addresses those human factors issues involved in the viewing of
stereoscopic displays. Despite the diverse methods for creating
stereoscopic displays, which includes stereo spatial multiplexing
as well as temporal multiplexing (i.e., field sequential)
techniques, there remain common human factor issues that arise when
viewing such displays. Human Factors of Stereoscopic Displays will
provide a detailed review of these important issues so that they
can be considered when designing and using 3D displays. In doing
so, the following topics will be covered: interocular cross talk;
interocular differences in luminance and contrast;
accommodation-vergence mismatch; stereoanomaly; spatio-temporal
frequency effects; distance scaling of disparity and high-level cue
conflict. body>

This is the first serious biography of a man widely considered one
of Texas’—and America’s—greatest songwriters. Like Jimmie
Rodgers, Woody Guthrie, Robert Johnson, and Hank Williams, Townes
Van Zandt was the embodiment of that mythic American figure, the
troubled troubadour. A Deeper Blue traces Van Zandt’s background
as the scion of a prominent Texas family; his troubled early years
and his transformation from promising pre-law student to wandering
folk singer; his life on the road and the demons that pursued and
were pursued by him; the women who loved and inspired him; and the
brilliance and enduring beauty of his songs, which are explored in
depth. The author draws on eight years’ extensive research and
interviews with Townes’ family and closest friends and
colleagues. He looks beyond the legend and paints a colorful
portrait of a complex man who embraced the darkness of demons and
myth as well as the light of deep compassion and humanity, all
“for the sake of the song.”
