- Title
- Supporting undergraduate management students to develop employability skills
- Author(s)
- Rajendran, Diana; Weaver, Debbi; Bell, Amanda Suzanne; Jopp, Ryan
- Abstract
- A second-year undergraduate self-directed learning project has previously been ranked relatively low by students, and was recognised as requiring additional support strategies to assist students to develop teamwork and independent learning skills. This paper reports on interventions made to the teaching strategies, and the results of an evaluation project aimed at determining the effectiveness of the new support mechanisms. Key findings were the outcome of re-introducing the input of teaching staff to inform and respond to student querries in the classroom, as one method of improving feedback to students and increasing motivation, and of introducing structured activities on groupwork early in semester, to assist students in forming teams, negotiating roles and improving self awareness and taking responsibility for their learning by reflection. This paper also investigates the applicability of the new learning model in developing and demonstrating employability skills of students in a classroom environment.

Catch Rate
this wiki
In the Pokémon games the player can capture a Pokémon he/she likes to have in his/her team, but mostly the catch doesn't succeed as they hope it should be. Each Pokémon has a catch rate. It depends on the Pokémon HP and the type of Poké Ball the player uses.
The lowest catch rate is 3, which belongs to the Beldum family and mostly almost every legendary Pokémon in the game. That low catch rate is n example to say that the Pokémon is very hard to catch which that you must probably use over 20x PokéBalls or even more because the highest catch rate is 255 which belongs to small Pokémons such as a Caterpie or a Pidgey which can be easily caught by a Poké Ball without damaging them.
Depending on the amount of HP, current status ailment, level of the Pokemon, and/or the Poké Ball being used, the chances may raise or lower. Because of this, the player may sometimes have to use stronger Poké Balls or more of the same one to catch the desired Pokémon. If an attempt to catch a Pokemon fails too many times, the Pokémon may flee.

What Schlage will do: Upon return of the defective Product to Schlage, Schlage's sole obligation, at its option, is to either repair or replace the Product, or refund the original purchase price in exchange for the Product. Original User: This warranty only applies to the Original User of Products. This warranty is not transferable. What is not covered: The following costs, expenses and damages are not covered by the provisions of this limited Warranty: (i) labor costs including, but not limited to, such costs as the removal and reinstallation of Product; (in) shipping and freight expenses required to return Product to Schlage; and (iii) any other incidental, consequential, indirect, special and/or punitive damages, whether based on contract, warranty, tort (including, but not limited to, strict liability or negligence), patent infringement, or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Some local laws do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. The provisions of this warranty do not apply to Products: (i) used in commercial applications; (ii) used in common area applications; (iii) used for purposes for which they are not designed or intended; (iv) which have been subjected to alteration, abuse, misuse, negligence or accident; (v) which have been improperly stored, installed, maintained or operated; (vi) which have been used in violation of written instructions provided by Schlage; (vii) which have been subjected to improper temperature, humidity or other environmental conditions; or (viii) which, based on Schlage's examination, do not disclose to Schlage's satisfaction non-conformance to the warranty. Additionally, this warranty DOES NOT COVER scratches, abrasions, or deterioration due to the use of paints, solvents or other chemicals.

(Bright Brass), 609 (Antique Brass), 619 (Satin Nickel), 620 (Antique
Pewter), 621 (Distressed Nickel), 622 (Matte Black), 716 (Aged Bronze)
Care Guidelines: Lacquered or clear-coated finishes should be wiped with a soft, damp cloth. A mile soap may be lightly used if very dirty. Particular care should be taken to avoid paint smears, thinners and strong cleaning agents as they will quickly destroy the protective coatings and subject the finished to rapid oxidation and discoloration. Initial care for finishes requires only periodic cleaning with mild non-abrasive soap and light buffing with a soft cloth.
Finish: 613
(Oil Rubbed Bronze)
Care Guidelines: Wipe with a little vegetable oil on a soft cloth. Too much oil may leave a residue to come off on the hands. Household detergents and mild abrasive powder may be used to restore the high metal color without seriously affecting the original compound of the metal. Then rub with a paste wax.
Finishes: 625
(Bright Chrome), 626
(Satin Chrome)
Care Guidelines: Wipe with a soft damp cloth. A high grade chrome polish may be used according to directions to clean and restore the original shine or satin finish.

May 5, 2016
BEIRUT (AP) -- The family of an American journalist says he went missing in Syria more than one month ago while covering the civil war there.
A statement released online Wednesday by the family of James Foley said he was kidnapped in northwest Syria by unknown gunmen on Thanksgiving day.
The statement appealed to those holding Foley to contact the family "so we can work together toward his release."
Foley, 39, has worked in a number of conflict zones around the Middle East, including Syria, Libya and Iraq.
He was contributing videos to Agence France-Press while in Syria.
The news agency quoted its chairman, Emmanuel Hoog, as saying it was doing all it could to secure Foley's release.
"He is a professional journalist who is absolutely neutral in this conflict," Hoog said.

This gargoyle has so much movement it's surprising that it cant get up and fly around your yard. This is as awesome a gargoyle you'll come across and the more the merrier. They work perfectly for creating an entrance to a haunted house, so don't opt out of these extremely spooky props. Don't forget to grab others right here on our site.

The Michael Haneke film Amour was nominated for Best Picture this morning in large part because of the amazing performance of 85 year-old French actress Emmanuelle Riva. But did you know that we have Riva's first film, the brilliant Hiroshima Mon Amour? Released in 1959, the famous French New Wave director Alain Resnais' beautiful lament for lost love, innocence and peace (both international and personal) introduced the French actress to the world. Set in the recovering city that suffered the explosion of the first atom bomb, Resnais delicately tells the touching story of two lovers, who over the course of a day, search for what it means (if anything) to remember, to forget and to heal from the wounds of war. An affecting masterpiece of both innovation and storytelling, Riva 's anguished character (She) attempts to explain to Eiji Okada's (He) where she came from (the city of Nevers) and how she has arrived in Hiroshima, a city that symbolically parallels her own life's troubled arch.

Pretty much what the title says. Do you use it? Why or why not?
Obviously you all know where I stand on the issue but I'm interested in hearing what you all have to say.
I'm noticing a trend (maybe i'm imagining it) that it seems a lot of guys are doing away with speed training.

Curie, Pierre
Pierre Curie (1859-1906), French physicist best known for his work with radioactivity. In 1898, Pierre Curie and his wife Marie presented evidence for the discovery of an additional, very active substance that behaved chemically almost like pure barium. They suggested the name 'radium' for the new element, and henceforth were identified with the discovery of radiation. For this discovery, the Curies were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1903, which they shared with Henri Becquerel. Pierre also discovered the effect of temperature on paramagnetism, which is now known as Curie's law. Moreover, he proved that ferromagnetic substances exhibited a critical temperature transition, above which the substances lost their ferromagnetic behavior; this is now known as the Curie point. With his brother Jacques, he discovered the piezoelectric effect, through which crystals acquire a charge when compressed, twisted, or distorted. The curie is a unit of radioactivity (3.7 x 1010 decays per second or 37 gigabecquerels) originally named in honor of Pierre Curie by the Radiology Congress in 1910.

Kentucky coach John Calipari is expecting 9 visitors to attend tonight's edition of Big Blue Madness. After securing commitments from three top-ten prospects in the last eight days, Kentucky is expecting a nearly unprecedented 8 five-star visitors for tonight's scrimmage. With four committed prospects in the building, one five-star senior who has yet to make a decision and four ultra-talented underclassmen, everyone of the prospects has a little bit of a different reason to attend. Test DriveCurrently ranked at no. 15 in the 2013 Rivals150, 6-foot-9 power forward Marcus Lee was one of the surprises of the AAU scene, and has since seen his recruitment blow up into a media circus. On Friday, Lee will get a real taste of what that circus like atmosphere is like when he travels to Rupp arena for his official visit. Lee is still considering only Kentucky and California, and since he has already taken his official visit to his local program, California, he is expected to make a decision within about a week of his return from Lexington. The atmosphere, and level of comfort that Lee feels, at Big Blue Madness could likely go a long way towards helping the five-star Californian make his decision. Getting AcquaintedThe entire group of commitments for the class of 2013 - Aaron Harrison, Andrew Harrison,James Young and Derek Willis - all are expected to make their official visits this weekend to celebrate the start of the new college basketball season; and to get better acquainted with each other. In addition to getting to know each other, speculation is that the four committed prospects will put their heads together to try and figure out how they can help lure Lee, and even Julius Randle, to the Big Blue. Three 2014 Five-Stars to VisitThree of the top 2014 players from the region will also be in attendance tonight, as power forward Cliff Alexander, guard JaQuan Lyle and forward Trey Lyles are making the trip. Lyles in particular should be able to make a good comparison, as he took an official visit last year to Indiana for Hoosier Hysteria. Like Lyles, Alexander has an offer from Kentucky (and lists Kentucky along with Michigan State as his top two schools), a positive visit in his eyes could go a long way towards eventually inking the signature of the top-five prospect from Chicago. Lyle does not have an offer yet, but is one of the most skilled and versatile guards in the class; and also has tremendous upside with his size and talent. Super Soph Making Return TripThe lone 2015 prospect making the trip, New Jersey forward Karl Towns, is already more familiar with the Kentucky campus then possibly any other visiting prospect. Towns spent several days on UK campus last summer as he trained with coach Calipari for the Dominican Republic National Team, a squad that the likely no. 1 prospect in 2015 eventually made (although they did not qualify for Olympic play). It is no secret that Towns has an infatuation with both Kentucky and Florida. With his relationship with Calipari, and familiarity with what Kentucky has to offer, the Wildcats sit high on the list of Towns. But it's Florida who is the presumed leader. After having him on campus last weekend for an unofficial visit, Towns was quoted in the media as saying that Florida could be a great fit for him. After taking in Big Blue Madness, we'll see how Towns feels. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Fibrocystic Breasts
Topic Overview
What are fibrocystic breast changes?
Many women have breasts that feel lumpy, thick, and tender, especially right before their periods. These symptoms are called fibrocystic breast changes. They may also be called cyclic breast changes, because they come and go with your menstrual cycle.
Fibrocystic breast changes are normal and harmless. They aren't cancer, and they don't increase your chance of getting breast cancer.
But having fibrocystic breast changes can make it harder to find a lump that could be cancer. This is a special concern if you also have a higher-than-normal risk for breast cancer. So if you or a close family member has had breast cancer or if you have had radiation treatment or a breast biopsy showing atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH), talk to your doctor about how often you need a breast checkup.
What causes fibrocystic breast changes?
Experts think that fibrocystic breast changes are linked to the hormone changes that happen during a woman's menstrual cycle. Each month, a woman's body gets ready for a possible pregnancy. It releases hormones that signal the breasts to make milk. The milk (or mammary) glands get bigger, which may make some women's breasts feel lumpy and tender. These symptoms go away after a woman starts her period.
You are more likely to have fibrocystic breasts if your mother or sisters have them.
What are the symptoms?
If you have fibrocystic breasts, you may notice the symptoms right before your menstrual period. You may find that:
- Your breasts are swollen.
- They feel tender or painful. Women often describe this as a dull or aching pain, heaviness, or soreness.
- Your breasts feel lumpy. Your doctor may call this "generalized breast lumpiness." Lumpy (cystic) areas feel thick. You may have one or more lumps that are always in the same area and that grow and shrink with each menstrual cycle. The lumps move if you push on them. (A lump that is cancer usually doesn't move but feels stuck to your ribs.)
- Your symptoms get better by the time your period ends.
Symptoms can be on one or both sides and can occur up toward and under the armpit.
Many women first notice fibrocystic breast changes when they are in their 30s. At this age, your hormone levels start to vary more than before.
How are fibrocystic breast changes diagnosed?
If you notice a new breast lump, wait through one menstrual cycle. If it's still there after your period, see your doctor for a breast exam. If you aren't having menstrual periods, see your doctor for a breast exam as soon as you notice a new lump.
To diagnose fibrocystic breast changes, your doctor will do a breast exam and ask when you had your last period. Further exams and tests usually aren't needed. But if your doctor needs more information or you want reassurance, you may have other tests, such as a mammogram or a breast ultrasound.
How are they treated?
You don't need to do anything about fibrocystic breast changes. They are normal, and they don't lead to cancer.
If breast pain bothers you:
- Take an over-the-counter pain medicine like acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) or ibuprofen (such as Advil). If this doesn't help, ask your doctor about using a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) skin cream.1 Stronger medicines are available, but they may have more side effects.
- Wear a bra that gives your breasts good support.
- Ask your doctor about low-dose birth control pills. For some women, these help reduce breast soreness and swelling before periods. They may be a good choice if your symptoms bother you and you want to prevent pregnancy.
Although there is no evidence that any of these help with breast pain, some women report that they feel better when they give up caffeine; eat a very low-fat diet; or take certain vitamin, mineral, or herbal supplements. Be sure your doctor knows about any supplements you're taking. And talk with your doctor before you make any major changes to your diet.

An on-duty officer resigned after his shift supervisor said he smelled alcohol on his breath.
Warsaw Police Chief Mike Webster will not disclose much about the on-going investigation. However, he tells WITN News that at some point last weekend a shift supervisor smelled alcohol on the breath of Officer Stephen Richards.
Chief Webster says at that time, the Highway Patrol was called in to investigate, and tested the officer. At the time of the test, troopers say Richards blew a .05, which is under the legal limit in North Carolina of .08. A magistrate found no probable cause for a DWI charge against the officer.
The case has since been handed over to the State Bureau of Investigation. Chief Webster says Richards resigned his position after a year and three months of service with the department.
"Simply put, I will not tolerate this kind of behavior with any officer in this Department," said Chief Webster.

Another Oscar season has come to a close, and it was quite a successful one at that. There were very few upsets or surprises, which helped this movie geek dominate his Oscar pool, getting 21 out of 24 correct – a tie for my all-time best. The Academy made up for snubbing director Ben Affleck by awarding Best Picture to the well-deserved Argo. The visually-stunning Life of Pi took home the most of the night with four, including one for director Ang Lee, who managed to turn what many felt was an unfilmable book into a crowd-pleaser. Skyfall became the first James Bond film to win an Oscar since 1965's Thunderball. Lincoln 's Daniel Day-Lewis became the first person ever to win Best Actor three times. And Pixar's Brave just beat out the video-game-themed Wreck-It Ralph for Best Animated Feature, which is ironic considering poor Ralph spends his entire movie trying to win a trophy just so people will love him. You've earned top score from me, Ralph.
If you're behind in your Oscar viewing, a handful of these award-winners are available for home viewing now, right here at the Kalamazoo Public Library:
Several of the Oscar winners are coming soon, and you can place a hold on them now:
Check back for the availability of Silver Linings Playbook, winner of Best Actress (Jennifer Lawrence); Les Misérables, winner of Best Supporting Actress (Anne Hathaway), Makeup & Hairstyling, and Sound Mixing; and Amour, winner of Best Foreign Film. The release dates of these films will probably be announced soon.
So what did you think of the Oscars? What were you glad to see win? Which categories would you have preferred to go differently? What was your favorite film of 2012?

A deer in the Florida Keys is breathing more easily after a deputy removed a Doritos bag from its head.
The Monroe County sheriff's deputy discovered the Key deer while on patrol late Saturday evening. Its entire head was stuck in the chips bag.
Sheriff's spokeswoman Becky Herrin says the deer allowed the deputy to remove the bag without a struggle.
Key deer are the smallest of the Virginia white-tailed deer subspecies and are endangered. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services says the deer have been threatened by development, habitat loss and hurricanes.
Herrin reminds Florida Keys visitors to properly dispose of trash to protect animals from harm.

Very cool. Kudos to you for trying something that has always seemed a little like magic to me. (and nice handwriting mine would rather like a bunch of angry lines all trying to eat one another)
Well, I have finished (sort of) and submitted my first font to dafont.com, but they only review submissions once a month! So I thought I'd upload it for the Guild now. I'll add in accented characters soon, but I just didn't have the gumption to kern them all today. In the meantime, the accents are there so with a little hacking you can make accented characters if you need them for a map. The font is meant to emulate a ball-point or other round-nib pen, and is an approximation of my actual handwriting.
Edit: The font is licensed "Free for personal use" as the editing software I have precludes its use for commercial fonts. If it gets a ton of downloads I plan on buying the pro version of the software and will relicense it.
2nd Edit: Updated the .zip to include a license file.
3rd Edit (2/3/2011): Uploaded a new version to fix a bug that prevented Microsoft programs from rendering the font correctly. Also slightly changed the shape of the capital letter G.
Enjoy! And as always if you see something wrong with it or want to leave other suggestions they're always welcome!

Superb work, Gidde!
Beautiful consistency with the letterforms.
What are you going to do for your next one?!!
Thanks so much Ravs!
I'm already working on the next one *sheepish grin*
I have a few maps by Nicholas de Fer from the early 1700s and I'm making his beautiful (and non-copyrighted ) lettering into a whole series of fonts for us medieval mappers!
Yay! We've had guests round, so my 'Blair Hand' has had to wait a bit! Just about finished the lower case letters for the italics, but there's lots of tweaking to be done.
I hear ya there. Without even kerning the accented characters, GiddeHand has 887 kerning pairs. WOW that took a long time. I have a feeling that scripts/handwriting fonts are probably the hardest to kern. The one I'm doing now requires NO kerning pairs (woohoo) because it's meant to have even spacing between letters.
EDIT: How naive I was. Yes, there will still be kerning pairs >.<

This looks pretty good PaxVeritas, glad your long period of lurking is over.
Greetings friends,
I've been a member of Cartographersguild.com since the mid 2000s, or at least lurking and viewing. I've recently upgraded my game room to include a projector, new laptop, extra monitor, and use of Maptool. Thus, it's time for me to share some of my finished maps. The designs are geared toward usability in tabletop roleplaying of the Pathfinder RPG game. I use my own world, adventures, and have loved drawing maps for my games since I started playing in 1983. Feel free to use them in your games, especially if you've got a similar set up. Enjoy.
-Pax Veritas
>First up is the Northtrail that runs from the edge of a border town northward toward a small barony. Along this trail, covered in snow, the adventurers come across a relative of a party member who is beset by a terrible frost worm. The trail runs left to right on the map for usability, as projections are rectangular, but the party is aware that north is either right or left, depending on the GM's campaign world.
This looks pretty good PaxVeritas, glad your long period of lurking is over.
Very nice work. Is there more of the map? Would love to see more.
My Battlemaps Gallery http://www.cartographersguild.com/al...p?albumid=3407
That's a well structured map, PaxVeritas. All the elements and colours work well together; I also love the scale of the trees (which as Bogie says makes us feel like the world outside is huge). I'd love to see more of your maps.
Nice map but I would really love to see/hear about how you set up your game room with all this. I hope you create a thread on that as well. Thanks!
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden
* Rivengard * My Finished Maps * My Challenge Maps * My deviantArt
I installed an inexpensive projector to my gameroom ceiling (Dream land series LCD DG-737/747). On the table, I placed 3x4 foot whiteboard (removable by just lifting it up). I loaded Maptool (freeware from RPTools.net) on my computer. I downloaded hundreds of art bits and image tiles (free on the internet) to my computer. I placed a second 17" monitor next to my laptop to display what the players see, and use Maptool to show me the GM view on my PC. I searched the web for hundreds of great game maps, and found it very easy to create hundreds of my own (for any occasion: swamp, roadside, snow terrain, castles, buildings, towns, temples, massive settings, and dungeons galore)!
The players love it, and I enjoy the freedom to create wondrous maps of any environ, use vision blocking layers to show line of sight for the characters, and it makes battles equally amazing as when using PAIZO's Gamemastery Flipmaps or map tiles. PAIZO's thoughtful inclusion of free .pdfs of their materials upon purchase means I have thousands of maps (from the APs and from modules) that I can use or even repurpose. Additionally the good folks at Cartographer's Guild and other websites such as Dundjinni forums make digital maps and tile bits that are easy to download and use.
When I first heard thought of using a projector I was a bit intimidated. But now, my game table has never looked or played better. I lay down some Steel Squire AOE templates, or rise up miniatures on clear, gridded Combat Tiers above the projected digital maps for elevation. To complete the cool feel of the game room, I'll throw down some Paizo Gamemastery cards for treasure, or draw from the Critical Hits or Fumbles Decks. Players use Pathfinder minis (or other brands) including those new cool invisible tokens on top of the digital maps (Alea Games I think - I've tossed the packaging so not sure). Sometimes I'll add terrain such as crates, barrels or rocks/crystals over top the digital projection if needed, but honestly, the move to digital maps really makes the encounter come to life.
Now, please note, when I'm a player I don't really need any of this stuff, but more and more these days I find that most players benefit from the detail shown on digital maps; it helps spark imagination as well as show detail that guides combat, making often overlooked possibilities possible, like jumping on a ledge for higher ground, ducking for cover behind a rocky outcropping, and even hiding out of view of the enemy. Sure this can all be described, and I still do, but the combination of Fog of War effects with vibrant maps, tokens, and other artistic atmosphere makes each combat more compelling.
The diversity of quality maps you can create is unbelievable, and does take up some time. By adding vision-blocking-layers to maps, the players map lights up within their sight range, illuminating corridores, shinging through portculli, and peering through dark dungeon rooms; then, in the shadows hide the beasts who seek to cause their doom.
This testimonial is rare for someone of my years with the game; after 29 years of gaming, some would expect a guy like me to never go for the technology or the new shiney stuff. I'm just here to say that old schoolers and digital or virtual tabletops are not mutually exclusive. Just like Arneson and Gygax cut floor tiles to make some of their original battle tiles, I'm open minded enough to find the joy of our hobby within cool things that don't "detract" from the game. I'd like to suggest that if you thought "going digital" was akin to selling-out, or like Bob Dylan going electric, just consider that you might not know how much it enhances game play until you try it. And a lot of Dylan's electrical stuff was great too.
More maps will follow below....
Thanks for being such a great supportive community, Cartographer's Guild!
Next up, these "Inquisitor's Ruins" provide mystery and intrigue to any travelers looking for shelter for the night, yet they are unoccupied by the old inquisitor who once dwelt here. The trappings of human cages, and other interrogation tools can still be found in the old rotting wood cart, remnants of pain once caused in the name of truth. But the travelers soon find they are not alone, and must face the men or beasts who have also claimed this shelter as their own. The next morning, a rare flower is discovered to be thriving in the yard, depite the poisoned soil in which it grows.

good start... you have some artifacts near the building corners you need to fix up(top right and bottom left where the "black" terminates.) I would also suggest adding some shadows to the trees to give them some depth as well as to the house.. Good start though...

Here is the lair of an herbalist. One adventurer contracted lycanthropy from a werewolf and the party searches the forest for a cure. When the rainstorm gales become too strong, they seek shelter via a staircase descending into a wondrous herbalist's garden. The freshly picked herbs and tamed violet fungus plants, along with a wide assortment of odd growth ends with a trapped door. Various rooms are here, along with an earthen trail of earth droppings, as though the master herbalist has brought her harvest to a laboratory at the far end of the hall.
This is a great side-trek adventure for PCs, and an opportunity for the GM to "plant" a journal depicting some evil entitity's life, but fortunately she is not home, although her traps and magical symbols ward the passageways.

- "Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly. And Rhaegar died."
- ―Jorah Mormont
Rhaegar Targaryen is an unseen character in Game of Thrones. He is deceased when the events of the series commence. He was the son and heir of King Aerys II Targaryen, holding the title of Prince of Dragonstone. Rhaegar was the older brother of Viserys and Daenerys, though Daenerys was born after he died. He is blamed for starting Robert's Rebellion by abducting Lyanna Stark. He was killed by Robert Baratheon during that conflict.
Prince Rhaegar Targaryen was the son and heir to the Mad King, Aerys II Targaryen. He sparked the war known as Robert's Rebellion when he kidnapped Lyanna Stark of Winterfell for reasons unknown. He was killed by Lyanna's betrothed Robert Baratheon in single combat at the Battle of the Trident.[1] When Rhaegar was killed, he was struck down with a massive blow from Robert's warhammer, which scattered the rubies encrusted in Rhaegar's armor under the water. That location was named the "Ruby Ford" thereafter.
Season 1Lyanna's brother, Eddard Stark, and her betrothed, Robert Baratheon, joined forces with several other houses to destroy the Targaryen dynasty. Rhaegar himself met Robert in combat at a ford during the Battle of the Trident, and was slain by him there.[2]
His father was killed shortly afterwards by Ser Jaime Lannister during the Sack of King's Landing. His younger brother Viserys and sister Daenerys (who was born after Rhaegar's death) survived in exile in the Free Cities across the sea.[3] Lyanna also died during the war.[4]
Season 3
When Daenerys Targaryen considers the possibility of buying Unsullied to employ as her army in her quest to win the Iron Throne, Ser Barristan Selmy pleads her not to do it, mentioning Rhaegar fighting with men that believed in his cause at the Trident. Ser Jorah Mormont counters that Rhaegar fought bravely and honorably, but perished nevertheless.[5]
- "Your brother Rhaegar was the last dragon."
- ―Jorah Mormont to Daenerys Targaryen
- "When your brother Rhaegar led his army into battle at the Trident, men died for him because they believed in him, because they loved him."
- ―Ser Barristan Selmy to Daenerys
- Daenerys Targaryen: "Did you know him well, Ser Barristan?"
- Barristan Selmy: "I did, your Grace. Finest man I ever met."
- Daenerys Targaryen: "I wish I had known him, but he was not the last dragon."
- — Rhaegar Targaryen remembered.[src]

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Rhaegar is depicted as a chivalrous, honorable, well loved by the smallfolk and just warrior, albeit one often distracted by other concerns and apparently unable or unwilling to restrain the worst excesses of his father. The only person who genuinely hated Rhaegar was Robert Baratheon. Rhaegar had silver-gold hair and dark lilac eyes. He was considered to be tall and handsome. Cersei Lannister, who was infatuated with him, remembers Rhaegar as the most beautiful man she had ever seen. Rhaegar was very bookish in his youth, such that people jested that the Queen swallowed some books and a candle while he was in her wombs. As a boy he was able to impress the maesters with his wit. He was married to Princess Elia Martell of Dorne, with whom he had two children, Rhaenys and Aegon. It is suggested that he was not in love with Elia but was content in his marriage nonetheless.
Rhaegar's reasons for kidnapping Lyanna Stark remain a mystery to both his supporters and his detractors, but the entire realm knows that they had met at a great tourney at the castle of Harrenhal a year before the kidnapping. Rhaegar had crowned her Queen of Love and Beauty, passing over his wife.
One of the main reasons that the other noble Houses of the realm put up with King Aerys' increasing madness for as long as they did is because Rhaegar was widely loved and respected by all, and it was believed he would make a great king. Most were willing to simply wait out the rest of Aerys' reign until his son succeeded him, rather than deal with the controversy of rebelling against and killing a king. It was therefore a great shock when Rhaegar absconded with Lyanna Stark, but even so, royalists in the civil war weren't primarily fighting out of loyalty to Mad King Aerys, but out of loyalty to Prince Rhaegar. Thus when Rhaegar died in the Battle of the Trident, the Targaryen cause was doomed, and not simply due to a decisive military defeat. Without Rhaegar, Aerys's allies began to slip away, and it was only after the defeat at the Battle of the Trident that the Lannisters turned on the Targaryens, resulting in the Sack of King's Landing and the death of Aerys.
When Daenerys Targaryen was in the House of the Undying, one of the visions she saw was a man resembling Viserys but taller than him, with dark indigo eyes, and a woman nursing a newborn babe in a great wooden bed. Both Daenerys and the readers believe them to be Rhaegar, Elia, and their infant son Aegon.

Algeria's state news service says nearly 100 out of the 132 foreign hostages kidnapped by Islamist militants have been freed from a gas plant in the Sahara desert.
The report by APS indicated a potential breakthrough in a bloody siege that began when militants seized the plant early Wednesday and reflected a significant jump in the number of foreign hostages involved.
The Friday report from the government news agency, citing a security official, did not mention any casualties in the battles between Algerian forces and the militants. But earlier it had said that 18 militants had been killed.
It was not clear whether the remaining foreigners were still captive or had been killed in the Algerian military operation to free them that began Thursday.
