A nation's hopes rest in the hands of a former White House guard after the president is held hostage by terrorists in this action thriller from director Antoine Fuqua. Trying to adapt to civilian life after a tragedy ended his Secret Service career, former special forces veteran Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) is thrust back onto the front line when a group of terrorists led by Kang (Rick Yune) attack the White House and seize the president (Aaron Eckhart). Now, finding himself the last Secret Service man left alive inside the building, Banning, overseen by acting President Allan Trumbull (Morgan Freeman), must bring all his special forces experience to bear as he embarks on a one-man mission to take out the terrorists and save the pres
This book addresses the needs of electronic design engineers,
reliability engineers, and their respective managers, stressing a
pragmatic viewpoint rather than a vigorous mathematical
presentation.
Photographic lighting is a topic that will never go out of style,
no matter how sophisticated cameras and other technology get. Even
with the most high-tech gear, photographers still need to put a lot
of thought and vision into lighting their photographs in order to
get great results. Mastering this key skill has the power to
dramatically and quickly improve your photographs as well as your
efficiency. Light-Science & Magic provides you with a
comprehensive theory of the nature and principles of light, with
examples and instructions for practical application. Featuring
photographs, diagrams, and step-by-step instructions, this book
speaks to photographers of varying levels. It provides invaluable
information on how to light the most difficult subjects, such as
surfaces, metal, glass, liquids, extremes (black-on-black and
white-on-white), and portraits. This new edition includes: *
Expanded chapters on portraiture and lighting equipment * Chapters
on necessary equipment when working on location versus in the
studio * An updated appendix of reliable photo gear sources * Over
100 new photographs and informational sidebars * Updated
information about advances in flash equipment, LED panels, and
fluorescent lights Lighting styles will evolve, but the science of
light will always remain the same. Once photographers understand
the basic physics of lighting (without having to become
physicists), they can apply that knowledge to a broad range of
photographic styles.

This edited volume brings together a collection of chapters from
leading scholars in rural education with the purpose of linking
knowledge from the rural education field to the wider discipline of
education studies. Through addressing significant issues in the
rural education field, the book gives insights from rural education
that have general relevance for the wider disciplines of education,
and provides up-to-date scholarship in research in rural contexts.
This book aims to be a definitive and comprehensive edition of
contemporary rural education scholarship that works as a guide for
those new to researching in and for rural contexts, as well as
actively expand the other sub-fields of education from a rural
perspective. It examines the connection between rurality and the
other domains of educational research, exploring what a rural
perspective might bring to the broader fields of educational
research, and how it might evolve them. In its unique approach,
this book brings the concept of 'rural' to the disciplines of
education; chapters regarding the ethics of research in the rural
context speaks to a gap in rural education, and provide tools for
engaging marginalised communities more generally in educational
research.

Hormone Receptors in Breast Cancer provides an up-to-date resource
of the role of hormone receptors in breast cancer written in depth
for both the basic molecular academic researcher and translational
scientist. Advances in basic science of molecular endocrinology
have undoubtedly been translated into clinical practice, and
clinicians caring for this disease need to be knowledgeable about
these developments. The molecular basis of hormone action has been
elucidated, and the relative significance of the different estrogen
and progesterone receptor isoforms has been explored. This
explosion of information has lead to exciting new areas of gene
specific targeting of the disease, and breast cancer prevention.
Paradigm shifts in treatment options and sequencing have recently
occurred in breast cancer management, necessitating close
cooperation and communication between translational scientists and
physicians. This book is focused on providing this communication.
The branch of clinical psychology known as behavior modification
or, synonymously, applied behavior analysis, has grown
substantially from humble beginnings in the 1960s. Many colleges
and universities now offer courses in applied behavior analysis,
and more than a few grant degrees in the area. Although they remain
controversial, behavior mod ification procedures have been used to
good advantage in dealing with a range of problem behaviors and are
now rather widely employed in schools, residential institutions,
and other therapeutic facilities. The two hallmarks of applied
behavior analysis are utilization of the principles of operant
conditioning to improve human behavior and utilization of
scientific research methodology to assess the effectiveness of
treatments. The present text provides an overview of several issues
peculiar to applied behavior analysis research methodology. Six
general areas of concern are (a) trends in applied behavior
analysis research, (b) assessment and measurement issues, (c)
experimental designs and strategies, (d) interpretation of
findings, (e) ethical issues in applied behavior analysis, and (f)
the societal impact of studies in the area. As evidenced by a
sizable number of recently published articles, these topics are of
considerable interest to behavior analysts. They also are relevant
for students of scientific epistemology and general psychological
research methods."
You think history is boring? Baltimore kid Daniel does -- until a
chance encounter with a magical talking raven named Calvert sends
him flying back to 1814, where he finds his home city under siege
by a British army on the verge of defeating the United States.
Crowning six decades of literary, rhetorical, and historical
scholarship, Harry Berger, Jr., offers readers another trenchant
reading. Berger subverts the usual interpretations of Plato's kalos
kagathos, showing Socrates to be trapped in a double ventriloquism,
tethered to his interlocutors' speech acts even as they are
tethered to his. Plato's Republic and Protagoras both reserve a
small but significant place for a poet who differs from Homer and
Hesiod: the lyric poet Simonides of Ceos. In the Protagoras,
Socrates takes apart a poem attributed to Simonides and uses this
to finish off the famous and supposedly dangerous sophist,
Protagoras. Couch City is a close reading of the comic procedures
Socrates deploys against Protagoras as he reduces him to silence.
But it also shows that Socrates takes the danger posed by
Protagoras and his fellow sophists seriously. Even if they are
represented as buffoons, sophists are among the charismatic
authority figures-poets, rhapsodes, seers, orators, and
lawgivers-who promote views harmful to Athenian democracy. Socrates
uses Simonides's poem to show how sophists not only practice
misinterpretation but are unable to defend against it. Berger ports
his roots as a pioneering literary theorist into this rhetorical
discussion, balancing ideas such as speech-act theory with
hard-nosed philology. The result is a provocative and
counterintuitive reassessment of Plato's engagement with democracy.
When young Sam Webber's father disappears without a trace, Sam and
his mother are forced to relocate to a tough neighbourhood closer
to her job. Unfamiliar with his surroundings and intimidated by the
students of his new school, Sam recounts details of his life with
touching, humorous sincerity. Living in a tiny apartment, he is
forced to deal with the legacy of depression that marked his
father, and threatens to envelop him. The city remains a cold and
unwelcoming place to Sam until he meets Greely, an elderly Black
caretaker at his junior school. Through this unlikely friendship
Sam begins to heal, as well as confront the racism that surrounds
his community and his life. Afternoons of football in the park and
greasy meals at the local Little Tavern lead Sam to discover that
friendship and warmth can rise even in the saddest of times. This
is masterfully written novel full of beautifully drawn
unforgettable characters.
