Roland Emmerich directs this political thriller based around the
notion that William Shakespeare was not in fact the author of the
canon of plays attributed to him. In Elizabethan England, political
intrigue abounds as the Tudors and the Cecils battle it out over
the succession of Queen Elizabeth I (Joely Richardson/Vanessa
Redgrave), and the Essex Rebellion mobilises against her. Enter the
dashing and wildly talented Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford
(Jamie Campbell Bower/Rhys Ifans), who not only fathers an
illegitimate son in a clandestine incestuous relationship with
Queen Elizabeth, but is also the secret author of the plays labeled
with the name of William Shakespeare (Rafe Spall).
A double bill of CGI chipmunk madness. 'Alvin and the Chipmunks'
(2007) is a live action, big screen outing for everyone's favourite
Chipmunks - Alvin, Simon and Theodore. Discovered and adopted by
struggling songwriter Dave Seville (Jason Lee), the dynamic trio
decide to join forces and embark on a singing career, performing
Dave's songs. When success beckons however, unscrupulous record
company boss Ian Hawke (David Cross) decides that he could make a
lot more money from the boys if Dave was out of the picture. In the
sequel 'Alvin and the Chipmunks 2' (2009), when Alvin (voice of
Justin Long), Simon (Matthew Gray Gubler) and Theodore (Jesse
McCartney) are forced to put aside their music superstardom and go
back to school, they are given the challenge of saving the school's
music department by winning the $25,000 prize in a battle of the
bands. But the Chipmunks unexpectedly meet their match in three
singing female chipmunks known as The Chipettes: Brittany (Anna
Faris), Eleanor (Amy Poehler) and Jeanette (Christina Applegate).
Romantic and musical sparks fly in the face off that ensues between
The Chipmunks and The Chipettes.

Shakespeare in Love
Young Will Shakespeare is the up-and-coming playwright of the time but has been disastrously struck by the bane of the writer's life - writer's block. His comedy "Romeo and Ethel the Pirate's Daughter" is not going anywhere and the playhouse is under threat of closure. What Will needs is a muse - and she appears in the form of the beautiful (and betrothed) Lady Viola. The path of true love doesn't run smooth for Will, however - Viola is engaged to be married to the insufferable Lord Wessex at the command of Queen Elizabeth. The joys and tragedy of his own life soon find their way onto the page in a moving, witty and spellbinding tale.

Clinical experiences, supported by well-prepared mentor teachers
and university-based teacher educators, are essential for
developing successful teacher candidates. While the design and
structure of these significant learning opportunities often vary
among preparation programs, a common feature is teacher candidates
work in partnered educational settings engaged in teaching that is
closely aligned with coursework and in collaboration with
individuals tasked with supporting their growth, development, and
entry into the profession. The primary purpose of this text is to
provide readers a varied set of examples from teacher preparation
programs that have established effective systems, practices, and/or
pedagogies to develop and support mentor teachers and
university-based educators in becoming effective clinical coaches.
The text endeavors to shine a bright light on those programmatic
efforts shaping teacher preparation in impactful, meaningful, and
sustainable ways. This text will be of primary interest to all
those working in organizations, institutes of higher education,
alternative licensure programs, and schools and districts involved
with the preparation of teacher candidates.
The rise of Web 2.0 has pushed the amateur to the forefront of
public discourse, public policy and media scholarship. Typically
non-salaried, non-specialist and untrained in media production,
amateur producers are now seen as key drivers of the creative
economy. But how do the activities of citizen journalists, fan
fiction writers and bedroom musicians connect with longer
traditions of extra-institutional media production? This edited
collection provides a much-needed interdisciplinary
contextualisation of amateur media before and after Web 2.0.
Surveying the institutional, economic and legal construction of the
amateur media producer via a series of case studies, it features
contributions from experts in the fields of law, economics and
media studies based in the UK, Europe and Singapore. Each section
of the book contains a detailed case study on a selected topic,
followed by two further pieces providing additional analysis and
commentary. Using an extraordinary array of case studies and
examples, from YouTube to online games, from subtitling communities
to reality TV, the book is neither a celebration of amateur
production nor a denunciation of the demise of professional media
industries. Rather, this book presents a critical dialogue across
law and the humanities, exploring the dynamic tensions and
interdependencies between amateur and professional creative
production. This book will appeal to both academics and students of
intellectual property and media law, as well as to scholars and
students of economics, media, cultural and internet studies.

This book offers an in-depth examination of the historical
perspective on the death penalty, discusses the process involved in
the sentencing and administration of justice, and clarifies facets
of an issue which is riddled with inequities and ambiguities that
reflect gender bias, and racial and economic disparity. For
example, of the 3028 people on 'death row' as of August 1995, only
15% were women. Of those who are on 'death row' today, virtually
all are poor, a significant number are mentally retarded or
otherwise mentally disabled, more than 40% are African-American,
and a disproportionate number are Native American, Latino and
Asian. These facts need to be carefully weighed against the grief,
pain, and anguish caused by the untimely death of a murder victim
with regard to the family members, as well as the related legal
costs to society.
A year on from 'Die Hard', Los Angeles cop John McClane is set to
meet up with wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) on Christmas Eve, this
time at Dulles airport in Washington DC. However, when terrorists
take over the airport in an attempt to rescue dictator Esperanza
(Franco Nero) from his incoming flight, it is up to McClane to
restore order and ensure that Holly's plane lands safely. Get that
sweaty vest out, and put some shoes on this time.

The contribution of this book to the field of reconciliation is
both theoretical and practical, recognizing that good theory guides
effective practice and practice is the ground for compelling
theory. Using a Girardian hermeneutic as a starting point, a new
conceptual Gestalt emerges in these essays, one not fully
integrated in a formal way but showing a clear understanding of
some of the challenges and possibilities for dealing with the deep
divisions, enmity, hatred, and other effects of violence. By
situating discourse about reconciliation within the context of
Girardian thought, it becomes clear that like Peter who vowed he
would never deny Jesus but ended up doing it three times any of us
is susceptible to the siren call of angry resentment and
retaliation. It is with a profound awareness of the power of
violence that the emergence of mimetic discourse around
reconciliation takes on particular urgency.

As the adult game has increased in popularity, youth soccer has
also seen significant expansion in recent years. The popularity of
the youth game is set to continue. Young boy and girl players wish
to emulate professional soccer stars and the professional game,
often with long-term financial rewards in mind, is increasingly
keen to develop young talent. Applied sports science is now a
well-established feature of the adult game but the sports science
that supports modern football does not translate directly into the
youth game. The coaches of young players need specific information
about children. Themes explored in this text include: growth of
physiological systems development of motor and perceptive skills
paediatric environmental physiology prevention of injury diet and
nutrition youth fitness and skills training effective teaching and
coaching of juniors the role of football academies. Youth Soccer:
From Science to Performance blends current child-focused sports
science theory with youth-specific coaching practice to help create
soccer development strategies for children. It promotes knowledge
and understanding in all these areas and will further professional
expertise amongst coaches who wish to develop the all year round
potential of youth soccer players and train the stars of the
future.

Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed
review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical
research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series
creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying
regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas
of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and
its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports
charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form
of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry
could no longer be contained within one volume and the series
Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports
themselves still existed but were divided into two, and
subsequently three, volumes covering Inorganic, Organic and
Physical Chemistry. For more general coverage of the highlights in
chemistry they remain a 'must'. Since that time the SPR series has
altered according to the fluctuating degree of activity in various
fields of chemistry. Some titles have remained unchanged, while
others have altered their emphasis along with their titles; some
have been combined under a new name whereas others have had to be
discontinued. The current list of Specialist Periodical Reports can
be seen on the inside flap of this volume.
The History of Matthew Wald (1824) is John Gibson Lockhart's fourth
and final novel and perhaps his most focused, stylistically
successful fiction. The title character tells his own story, which
is set in the context of, and carefully interwoven with, the larger
historical, social, and political events and circumstances of
Scotland in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Matthew Wald
exemplifies Lockhart's idea that the novel should portray the
'human mind under the influence of not one, but many of its
passions--ambition--love--revenge--remorse' and should reflect the
historical and social truth of the age. This scholarly edition
includes an Introduction that discusses the literary and historical
contexts of the narrative and the novel's early reception and
textual history. Detailed Explanatory Notes complement the
Introduction to provide the modern reader with the resources to
re-evaluate Lockhart's place in the history of the Scottish novel
and Romantic fiction.
The research in this book on the geographical context of drug
addiction contributes to better understanding the etiology of
addiction, its diffusion, its interaction with geographically
variable environmental, social, and economic factors, and the
strategies for its treatment and prevention. This book explores
links between geography and drug abuse and identifies research
ideas, connections, and research pathways which point to some
promising avenues for future work in this area.
The topics explored in Geography and Drug Addiction include: (1)
Spatial patterns of drug use and addiction. (2) Linking spatial
models with drug abuse research. (3) Interaction of social and
environmental factors with biochemical processes of addiction. (4)
Locational analyses of drug addiction treatment and service
delivery facilities. (5) Neighborhood scale studies of geographic
factors (including the built environment) and their interaction
with drug addiction, treatment, or prevention. (6) Use of
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to better understanding and
respond to drug addiction. (7) Spatial diffusion modeling of
addictive drug usage and its changing characteristics, including
also predictive modeling. (8) Social epidemiology and GIS.
This book is an outcome of the jointly sponsored AAG/NIDA
Geography and Drug Symposium. It will serve as an excellent
resource to geographers and drug abuse researchers, including
sociologists, epidemiologists, social scientists in general and
public health researchers, both in policy and academia.
