Fast-paced sci-fi movie in which a team of soldiers find themselves
caught up in a riddle surrounding missing archaeologists and the
origin of life on Earth. The film is comprised of 'found footage'
from a variety of different sources. The primary source is footage
of a US military unit who are sent to search for a missing team of
archaeologists in the jungles of South America. The soldiers, more
accustomed to chasing armed drug smugglers, have little idea what
lies in store for them. Will the likes of Lt. Chris Thompson (Trey
McCurley) survive an encounter with the archaeologists' terrifying
discovery?

For more than 20 years, Vincent Peters has been among the best
photographers internationally. The artist, a native of Bremen,
Germany, lives in Paris and Ibiza and sees the world as his
playground. His unmistakable signature style sensitive, classic
photos is in equally high demand for celebrity, fashion, and
advertising photography. With minimal resources, he is able to
create dramatic images that look like stills from an imaginary
movie. Every picture makes you wonder what will happen next. His
first photo book, "The Light Between Us," was published in 2014 and
showed his best shots of actors, models, and musicians. Now he
dedicates himself to his favorite subject in "Personal" women. Once
again, we encounter stars as they have never been seen before;
Penelope Cruz, Linda Evangelista and Irina Shayk are only some of
the prominent ladies featured. Vincent Peters hand-selected the
pictures for this book, most of which have never been published
before. Along with his portraits, there are also nudes that
highlight his masterful use of light to create sensuous
photographs. This enables him to create mysterious images that
celebrate feminine beauty and draw us inexorably under their
spell."
Despite its size, Ely has always been one of the most wealthy and
important dioceses in the country. The essays here focus on the
careers of its bishops, with additional chapters on its buildings
and holdings. The diocese of Ely, formed out of the huge diocese of
Lincoln, was established in 1109 in St Etheldreda's Isle of Ely,
and the ancient Abbey became Ely Cathedral Priory. Covering at
first only the Isle and Cambridgeshire, it grewimmensely in 1837
with the addition of Huntingdonshire, Bedfordshire and West
Suffolk. The latter two counties left the diocese in 1914, but a
substantial part of West Norfolk was added soon after. Until the
nineteenth century Ely was one of the wealthiest dioceses in the
country, and in every century there were notable appointments to
the bishopric. Few of the bishops were promoted elsewhere; for most
it was the culmination of their career, and manyhad made
significant contributions, both to national life and to
scholarship, before their preferment to Ely. They included men of
the calibre of Lancelot Andrewes in the seventeenth century, the
renowned book-collector John Moorein the eighteenth, and James
Russell Woodford, founder of the Theological College, in the
nineteenth. In essays each spanning about a century, experts in the
field explore the lives and careers of its bishops, and their
families and social contacts, examine their impact on the diocese,
and their role in the wider Church in England. Other chapters
consider such areas as the estates, the residences, the works of
art and the library and archives. Overall, they chart the
remarkable development over nine hundred years of one of the
smallest, richest and youngest of the traditional dioceses of
England. Peter Meadows is manuscript librarian in Cambridge
University Library. Contributors: Nicholas Karn, Nicholas Vincent,
