Handbook on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of Armed Forces Personnel
The Handbook on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of Armed Forces Personnel is DCAF's flagship publication intended for parliamentarians, ombuds institutions, professional military associations, civil society organisations - all those who play a role in formulating a balanced policy for the human rights of military personnel.
Developed by DCAF in cooperation with the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), the Handbook presents an overview of legislation, policies and practices from across the OSCE region, and highlights national models that have proved successful in ensuring the protection and enforcement of the human rights of armed forces personnel and members of the security sector in general.
The Handbook was officially endorsed by the OSCE Participating States at the OSCE Permanent Council Meeting in Vienna in October 2008.
DCAF facilitates understanding and dissemination of the ideas set out in the Handbook through
- sponsoring translations of the Handbook into local languages
- organising awareness-raising and training events which focus on specific oversight issues addressed in the Handbook
Ombuds institutions' role in the protection of human rights and rule of law, a topic which this Handbook explores, has been further developed under DCAF's Ombuds Institutions for the Armed Forces project.

I imagine your example is to be taken with the correction that the first 1997m8 should be 1997m7. I suggest
bysort id (time) : gen count = sum(action) - sum(action[_n-3])

> I have the following problem. My dataset contains an id-number, a time variable measured in months, and a binary variable indicating action or no action. The time frame is not the same for each person (i.e. id 1 is monitored between January 2000 and May 2000, id 2 between August 1997 and October 1997, etc.). The action variable records whether an action happened during that month or not.
> I would like to create a new variable that counts the number of positive actions (i.e. action variable equal to 1). More specifically, I am looking for a code that would loop through the dataset and that would count the number of action==1 using a three months' time window (i.e. current month + 2 previous months), resetting the counter at every new id. If less than three months are available, the loop should just count the number of action==1 of the available months.

Description Edit
A warzone outpost located on one of Palaven's moons, Firebase Condor represents a crucial asset in the defense of the turian homeworld, providing the beleaguered turian fleet with a place to refuel and repair. Its loss could grant the Reapers unparalleled access to the Inner Council Theater.[1]
Locations Edit
Lower RidgeEdit
A small clearing behind the lower area of the Camp. Players begin the match at this location.
A large area containing several fortified positions. Connects to the Mining Site (both sides), Transport Lot (upper side), and Lower Ridge (lower side).
Transport LotEdit
A flat area containing two M-080s. Connects to the upper section of the Camp and Upper Ridge. Extraction takes place at this location, behind the trucks.
Mining SiteEdit
A large area containing mining equipment and a large hill. Leads to the Upper Ridge (via large hill) and the Camp (both sides).
Upper RidgeEdit
A large overlooking ridge. Connects to the Mining Site through a large hill, and the Transport Lot via artificial ramps and ladders.
Player Notes Edit
- The map takes place on a hill, and is a very hard map to control. Facing down the hill, the right hand side is very open and ideal for sniping, but the left has more cover and is a better holdout location, but sniping is hindered by the presence of a large bunker.
- This map is among the most difficult maps to beat, as the constant firepower provided by the geth, the rapid closing the Reapers offer and the tactical superiority of Cerberus can easily overwhelm players scattered around the large map. Players are advised to stick together and move together covering each others flanks.
- Avoid the Lower Ridge. It's the only real dead end on the map, and players can find themselves in a tight spot if they end up there during later waves.
- Conversely, if the players are prepared with movement-impeding/point-defense powers such as Sentry Turret, Singularity, and mines, the entrance to the Lower Ridge serves as the map's only defensive chokepoint. There's little advance warning to work on enemies such as Atlases and Banshees, but also limited avenues of fire for infantry-class enemies.

Regional Reviews: St. Louis
God of Carnage
God of Carnage
Also see Richard's review of Blood Wedding
What might happen, Yasmina Reza asks, when the four parents of two boys involved in a playground fight come together to seekwell, what, exactly? The psychobabble word for it is "closure," but it is clear from Reza's crisp opening lines that there are darker purposes on all sides, motives primitive to the point of being feral. A wrong has been committedor at least it seems so to Veronica Novak, whose son has lost two teethand she, helicopter parent par excellence, has written a brief position paper laying out her demands for redress. Annette Raleigh, mother of the alleged perp, is fluent in Veronica's language, making all the proper "thank you for sharing" noises, but she and her uber-obnoxious lawyer husband clearly aren't going to stand by while their son gets trashedespecially by Veronica and her throwback mate, Michael, whose wealth, while apparently considerable, comes from wholesale building supplies.
It's about class, as in Harold Pinter, and it's about the tangled web of human deception, as in Edward Albee. But Miss Reza, a rare and gifted master of the stage as a medium, isn't pursuing that sort of line here. Like her other masterpiece, Art, this is the kind of play actors would give their eye teeth to be in, because it is superbly a vehicle that gives them range to display their talents. God of Carnage is about the way characters can be developed, become flesh and blood, intimately familiar to the audience on the basis of 90 minutes and a relative handful of words; and it is about the way characters can be moved about on the game board, shifting alliances, falling from elevated intentions to the basest of motives, always and in all ways demonstrating their full, rich humanity.
There is expensive booze involved, and there are expensive clothes, and there isspectacularlya cell phone which Alan Raleigh uses like a peacock spreading its feathers; these are the counters with which people like the Novaks and Raleighs keep score. There is a smart flat, masterfully realized on the Rep's thrust stage by designer Narelle Sissons, with elegant furniture and freshly cut tulips and a sleek drinks cabinet; it doesn't take the audience long to figure out that the apartment, the furniture, and the tulipsand the cell phoneare going to be trashed before the lights go down.
Triney Sandoval, whose appearance as the inspector in last year's Crime and Punishment impressed the Rep audience, returns to give a vigorousnot to say animalisticreading of Michael, the cave man. Anthony Marble, who also impressed local audiences as Dr. Jekyll, is perfect for the arrogant, polished, but equally ferocious Alan. Eva Kaminsky sparkles as Veronica Novak, whose veneer of polite concern masks some seething resentments. Susan Louise O'Connor is brilliant as the prim Annette, whom a couple of hits of fine old rum reduce to a very low common denominator.
If there is a flaw in Miss Reza's game plan, it is that the characters get very drunk, very quickly, and on not very much booze. Much of what happens depends on rum-fueled loosening of inhibitions, and to that extent the plot is old news; still, Miss Reza surprises us with the intensity and the accuracy of her characters and their actions.
Director Edward Stern has a penchant for very broad acting, and God of Carnage gets loud and furious at times, but his actors always seem to be under careful control, and play elegantly as an ensemble.
Like Art, this play happens in one ninety-minute act, thus both avoiding the break in intensity caused by an intermission and getting the audience out of the theater in time to have a coffee and talk about the experience.
The Rep's production of God of Carnage is a splendid demonstration of what theater can be when a genius imagines characters and sets them in motion, and when gifted actors bring those characters to life. This is a play and a production not to be missed.
God of Carnage will run through November 6 at the Repertory Theater of St. Louis. For ticket information, call 314-968-4925 or visit www.repstl.org.

Dear friend,
You're probably already aware of the power, fun, advantages and prestige that knowing more than one language can bring you.
Yet, if you're like most people, you probably find it very hard to imagine that you could learn to effectively communicate in any language in just 7 to 21 days, and achieve fluency within a few months.
You may have experienced the seemingly insurmountable difficulties in trying to effectively learn a foreign language.
I'm talking about the years and years of study, the frustration of not being able to communicate after having completed an "intermediate" course, and the general feeling that achieving fluency in a foreign language is probably not a possibility for you. Maybe you're just not "talented" with languages...?
All the while, you probably know a few people who can express themselves fluently in 2, 3, 4 or even more languages. What is their special trick? What is their gift?
Well it's no "gift" but it is indeed a little bit of a trick. It's actually a series of tricks and techniques that can actually allow anyone to learn the language of their choice in a very short period of time.
They've been used by linguists, by several world travelers and even by special agents working for high-level governmental agencies.
Did you know that during World-War II, the government turned normal citizens into Japanese/English interpreters in just a few months?
Did you know that there is actually no limit to the number of languages you can learn, and that many people in the world can actually speak more than 10 languages (and no, it's not because they were born in a multi-cultural family)?
Did you know that during World-War II, the government turned normal citizens into Japanese/English interpreters in just a few months?
Did you know that there is actually no limit to the number of languages you can learn, and that many people in the world can actually speak more than 10 languages (and no, it's not because they were born in a multi-cultural family)?
Actually, in creating this product, I have interviewed and talked with such people. One is a man who can speak over 26 languages, and another can speak over 58 languages
Now that sounds completely outrageous, but what I've discovered is that it's actually within the reach of anyone to learn any language they want and do it on their own, and be able to communicate effectively in just 7 to 21 days (achieving "fluency" takes a little longer, but not as long as you might imagine).
If you're curious to learn more about this amazing method, read on... But before we get there, I want to talk about something else, in case you're not sure "why" you actually NEED to know at least ONE foreign language.
A few decades ago, US high schools didn't think seriously about including mandatory foreign language education in their curriculum. That's because of the arrogant mentality prevalent at the time. They felt that the rest of the world would just learn our language so we didn't have to worry learning theirs.
Nowadays, it's become a very much needed and, more often than not, essential advantage to at least speak another foreign language, if not more than one!
With the expansion of the Latino population in the US, and increased tourism in Spanish-speaking countries, some knowledge of Spanish is quite often necessary.
With world globalization, those who stand a chance to just survive, economically speaking, in the next decades will need to face the reality of cultures colliding and the increasing necessity of having some knowledge of some key languages, including:
Mandarin Chinese
And others!
Imagine what your life would be with the knowledge of a new language. You may think it may get a little better. But you have no idea how many benefits you'll get from knowing one or more foreign languages.
Imagine being able to express yourself in that language, make friends, travel, and speak fluently... and open yourself to a world of exciting possibilities.
No matter what you think, the knowledge of another language is useful and increasingly necessary.
But the endeavor of learning languages is such a daunting one that most people never actually succeed with it.
Let's take a moment to think about how languages are traditionally taught, so we can kiss this unsuccessful method a big, "good bye" forever.
Imagine you decide you want to learn French, perhaps for an upcoming trip to Paris. In your enthusiasm, you decide to revive your high-school French (which never got you anywhere) by signing up for a 6-week course at your local community college.
Six weeks later, you've attended all the classes, and even completed your homework assignments. By the time you get to Paris, you feel a little more confident about your ability to get around using French.
Once in Paris, you're ready to order a coffee or an orange juice on the Champs-Elysées.
To your shock and amazement, the waiter has no idea what you're trying to say. And throughout your trip, you realize that your French actually sucks, almost as much as it used to, and so you reluctantly give up your linguistic aspiration and decide to revert to "Ugly American Who Only Speaks English" mode for the remainder of your trip.
Now let me tell you a little secret. You can actually learn any language you want in just seven days.
That's right. Not 7 months, or even 7 weeks... but just 7 days.
I can already hear you say that it's impossible! That you studied French for three years in high school and you still can't order an orange juice in Paris!
The truth is, no one can claim to be able to learn to speak a foreign language fluently in just 7 days. Anyone who does is a liar. But what you can do is learn to speak the core of a language, enough to get you around without needing a translator, in just 7 to 21 days if you follow my method.
Of course, after that, you can also use my method to learn the language even better, to eventually reach fluency... the enviable peak that every language learner wants to reach.
And you can do that in a fraction of the time most people spend (unsuccessfully) learning a foreign language.
In this course, you will discover:

Note: I greatly respect your privacy and will never sell or share your email address with anyone. Never.
Over the last few years, I became increasingly interested in learning foreign languages. My native language is French, and it took me over 12 years to learn to speak English decently.
But I thought, there must be another way!
I was always impressed when I met people who spoke 3, 4, 5 or even 6 languages. I thought they must have had some kind of gift, or had the fortune of being raised in a multi-lingual family.
What I discovered is that polyglots (people who speak several languages) are actually mostly self-taught. And that the way they learn languages is radically different that the method I was taught in school.
Over the last 5 years, I became obsessed with finding out the secrets of these people. I interviewed several polyglots (including Barry Farber, author of How to Learn Any Language, who can speak in over 25 tongues), read several out-of-print books in over 4 languages and developed the 12-step method I now used to learn any language in a flash.
In the last few years, while developing my method, I learned to speak German, Spanish and Portuguese well enough to be able to read a newspaper or novel in those languages without a dictionary and be able to express my thoughts on any subject both verbally and on the written page.
In addition to that, I have also learned enough Russian to get around in Russia, enough Italian to get around Italy without an interpreter, as well as bits and pieces of other languages. And I also speak French and English fluently, and I'm currently learning Chinese (a native Chinese speaker told me that my Chinese was "awesome" and I've only been studying it for 2 weeks).
I did all of that on my own, in my spare time (and I emphasize the word "spare") and having more fun than I ever thought was possible.
My friends always asked me: "what is your secret?" It's an extraordinary set of principles, based on the secrets of master linguists and spy agents (and also from my own experience and research) that I reveal in my course How to Learn Any Language in a Flash, that allows you to learn any language in 7 to 21 days, and speak fluently within a few months.
As all of other Fred's books, the How To Learn Any Language in a Flash provides 'no-nonsense', 'all-inclusive' and step by step process as to how to learn any language in a jiffy. And it worked! Had 4 weeks before my trip to Ecuador to learn some Spanish, procrastinated for 2 weeks ; but still was able to learn some very useful Spanish for my trip in such a short time...would not be able to do it without Fred's support - THANKS!
I took 3 years of Spanish classes in High School, but I never learned to speak in Spanish.
In all 3 years we always focused heavily on grammar but not enough on Vocabulary. I would always have think about exactly what I wanted to say, and then try to translate it, and oftentimes, when I was done translating it in my mind, I had already forgotten the beginning of what I wanted to say! It was very hard and very stressful.
However, with THIS method, you don't focus on grammar so much in the beginning. In fact, not at all! You focus ENTIRELY on Vocabulary, and then focus on just speaking with what's inside your new vocabulary, not worrying about grammar at all.
Then you speak to people all of the time in your new language which gets you in the habit of speaking your mind, and not worrying about saying things the right way or the wrong way. You just DO it!
And then later you focus on grammar, which is easier to learn than it would have been had you learned in school because you're already used to speaking your mind, and then all you have to do is get used to adjusting your speech to follow the rules, little-by-little.
Learning with this book makes a whole lot more sense, and I believe schools should be teach learning new languages with the approach outlined in book!

Frederic, Learn a Language in a Flash was just the jump-start I needed to begin learning Spanish. I've wanted to do so for a long time, and also have been eagerly awaiting the reissue of your language course - so glad you've republished it and are sharing it with the world now! Along with your 21-Day Learning Challenge, I have made already laid the groundwork as a speaker and writer of Spanish! If you've been putting off your dream of learning a language, Fred's course is THE TICKET!

How to reach the magic turnaround point that is needed to really progress when learning a language.
The shortcut that allows you to get past the stage of the beginner level.
And much more.
This is not a method to learn Spanish, or German, or French specifically, but rather, a method you can use to learn ANY language.
If you're still not sure about your own ability to learn a foreign language in a short period of time, it's probably because you are still holding on to some misconceptions and myths about learning languages. Let's take a look at these myths and expose them for what they are, once and for all.
MYTH #1: A child can learn faster than an adult.
Probably the number one myth about learning languages is the idea that a child can somehow learn faster than an adult. As controversial as it may sound, let me say that actually, an adult can learn a language much faster than a child!
Using her intelligence, an adult can learn a language and in greater depth than a child ever could, within a limited timeframe.
It's true that an adult learning a foreign language will never be able to imitate a native accent with 100% accuracy, as a child would (this is an ability we lose after puberty).
But adults can still learn much faster than a child when the proper techniques are applied.
Children learn languages because they are "forced" to. For them, it's a question of survival. They also practice constantly, day in, day out.
Adults have an advantage over children when it comes to learning languages. First, they have already mastered one language. And second, they have more knowledge and reference points that they can use to their advantage. And also, their brain is more developed.
With the right system and techniques, you can certainly learn it faster than a child.
MYTH #2 — Just watch some TV and movies and you'll learn it automatically.
Another common myth is that you can just learn a language by engaging in "passive" learning such as watching TV and listening to the radio in the foreign language.
That simply doesn't work. What works is "active" learning, which means anything that requires active participation on your part.
You can watch some foreign movies, sure, but it's not going to do you any good until you have a very strong base of vocabulary.
If you're starting from scratch, you can sit in front of the television for 10,000 hours and watch Russian television and your grasp of the Russian language at the end would be mediocre at best!
MYTH #3 — Immerse yourself in the language right away by going to the country and you'll learn naturally.
Past the age of around 11, we loose our ability to learn languages "naturally". Thus, it is absolutely worthless to try to immerse yourself in the language right away by watching foreign movies, going to the country immediately or just trying to "pick it up." You have to learn a language as an adult with the mind of an adult.
Being in the right environment does NOT guarantee that you will learn the language. It just makes it easier to practice once you have something to work with. But just being there and trying to "pick it up" naturally won't work.
When I was living in Costa Rica, I knew plenty of expat Americans who had lived there for over 10 years full-time and still could not speak half-decent Spanish!
So again it comes to active learning versus passive learning. You have to work on the language. The language will not come to you naturally, even if you are in the right environment.
A Couple of "Basic Concepts"
If you're wondering what is this "magic" method for learning languages in a flash, let me tell you that it's no gimmick or "learn while you sleep trick". It's actually a set of 12 principles and a complete step-by-step method that anyone can use to learn the language they want in a record time.
If what you want is to know enough of a language to get around in a foreign country for a trip, you can do that in 7 to 21 days using my method.
If you want to be able to express yourself fully in a foreign language, for work, career, love or other reasons, you can do that in just a few months (depending on the language) using the principles and the methods I teach in my course.
To give you a little starting point, let me explain to you some basic concepts which I cover in detail in the course "How to Learn Any Language in a Flash" (along with a total of 12 principles that form my step-by-step approach).
But make sure you understand as you're reading about these principles that there's a major step after in terms of knowing what to DO with them.
Concept #1 — The Three Blocks of Language Learning
When you decide to learn a foreign language, you have to face three major blocks:
Common language learning courses would like us to believe that all of these categories are equally important. While this ultimately is true, if your goal is communication, you don't have to get all of them right before you start talking.
If you think about how you learned your native language as a child, you may not remember, but you can be sure that you were not concerned with proper pronunciation and grammar. What you needed at first were words to communicate.
Watch children who are learning to speak. They don't have any inhibitions. Their pronunciation is often off and their grammar only approximate at first, but they start talking right away using words!
That's why I believe that vocabulary is king. Of all the three blocks in learning a language, it's the one that holds people back from progressing!
The basis of my method is an organic and natural approach to language learning, much like children learn, but using your adult brain. Which leads us to...
Concept #2 — Master Core Vocabulary And Speak Like Tarzan
A few years ago, I made a shocking discovery. Over 75% of our daily communication is comprised of only 500 to 800 words. Even though you may learn over 10,000 words over the course of your lifetime, you only need 500 to 800 to communicate effectively on a daily basis.
That led me to a search for this list of what is called "Core Vocabulary."
Let's say you are able to master this core vocabulary in any one language, with a fair pronunciation. Even without a single bit of grammar, you'll still be able to communicate!
If I'm going to go to a country where I don't speak the language, here's what I do:
- I spend 7 to 21 days to master this list of core vocabulary that I have assembled myself during my various linguistic studies.
- I use "memory hooks" and other tricks that I'll be teaching you in the course, to learn the vocabulary faster (around 10 to 20 times faster than with traditional methods).
- I start speaking right away, using what I call "Tarzan" grammar.
With "Tarzan" grammar, you basically omit all verb conjugations and you simplify the language to its simplest form. For example, "I'd like to book a hotel room for the night" becomes:
Me Want Hotel Room Tonight
Yes, it sounds crude, but it works, and natives are extremely appreciative of your effort in speaking the language.
For some languages that have very simple grammar, there's actually not much you'll have to change later once you get deeper into the grammar!
Now... and here's the thing... I also ask the native speakers to talk to me the same way!
This leads to an interesting phenomenon: within just 7 days, I can speak any language I want and communicate without an interpreter or a dictionary, just by having memorized core vocabulary using memory hooks and speaking like Tarzan (while asking people to answer the same way).
Now you may be thinking... that's not really speaking a language. It's baby talk.
Well... bingo...! You got it my friend. Isn't it like children learn?
Of course, you won't be stuck at that level for very long.
In my course, I also teach you how to learn the proper grammar, increase your vocabulary and perfect your pronunciation, and I give you the exact tools to do that.
The trick to making this system work is to have the right list of words (the core vocabulary list) and the right memory tricks to retain the words that you're learning, in a way that's fun and not too time-consuming.
In the course, How to Learn Any Language in a Flash, you'll get my list of core vocabulary, based on the amazing work of a Spanish linguist, which is the one that I prefer and that I use.
(The linguist that I'm referring to has actually pulled off the amazing feat of learning German from scratch during a 3 hour flight and upon arrival to Germany gave a CONFERENCE in German, without any prior knowledge of German. If you don't believe that such as thing is possible, then you need my course!)
You'll also get my best memory hooks tricks (also called mnemonics), which allow you to retain 10 to 20 times as much vocabulary. And if you're already familiar with that, you'll love my take on it and the way I break the process down into something that's easy to understand and use.
It's a step-by-step method — I've been working on this for 5 years, trying to figure out what is the actually system for learning languages in a flash. And I'm not satisfied with half-baked information, so that's why I've waited for so long before releasing the second edition of my course.
Other books on the subject may give you some tips on learning languages effectively, but in none of them will you find a step-by-step method. Personally, I like clear information. I like to organize thoughts in a way that makes sense for the reader (that's you!) and create systems that you can easily put in place and know that it's going to work for you, every single time.
It contains ALL of my secrets — In 2003, I released the first version of my product "How to Learn Any Language in a Flash." It was basic, but very useful. Since then, I have learned a TON and have decided to put ALL of my best secrets and techniques in this new version.
It's not sugar-coated. It's based on what works — Sure, you can go to your local library and get books on "How to Learn Chinese in 5 Minutes a Day." Do these methods actually work? I've tried almost all of the methods out there and I can testify that very few actually deliver. So that's why I've spent so much time to research the secrets of professional linguists to find out how does one actually learn a language in a short period of time. I won't lie to you and say that you won't have to put in some efforts. But I can tell you that the effort will be well worth it because my method WORKS.
I've actually done it myself — Few people out there can claim to be able to speak more than 3 or 4 languages, unless they are a professional linguist. The proof that my method works is that I actually have done it myself, and entirely in my spare time! I can effectively communicate in over 6 languages, and I'm learning more constantly, and learning languages is not my only hobby! I also play the guitar, practice sports, read a lot, and have many interests besides languages. So if in my spare time I can learn to speak Chinese, you can certainly learn any language you want even if you haven't done it before.
It's a step-by-step method — I've been working on this for 5 years, trying to figure out what is the actually system for learning languages in a flash. And I'm not satisfied with half-baked information, so that's why I've waited for so long before releasing the second edition of my course.
Other books on the subject may give you some tips on learning languages effectively, but in none of them will you find a step-by-step method. Personally, I like clear information. I like to organize thoughts in a way that makes sense for the reader (that's you!) and create systems that you can easily put in place and know that it's going to work for you, every single time.
When you order the program "How to Learn Any Language in a Flash", you'll get instant access to my method, which includes:
The Ebook "How to Learn Any Language in a Flash" — The "meat" of my course is the ebook "How to Learn Any Language in a Flash". In this book, I present my 12 principles for learning languages, as well as a step-by-step method that you can use to either build basic conversational proficiency in any language in 7 to 21 days, or achieve fluency within a few months.
This ebook will be available for download as soon as you place your order.
Core Vocabulary List — For years, I've wanted to find a good list for building core vocabulary. After reading an amazing book in Spanish by a Spanish linguist and memory expert, I have finally found a table that enables you to build core vocabulary in any language.
This list is amazing. You can use it for any language. You just have to fill it the blanks and use the memory tricks I teach in my course to remember more vocabulary in no time. The list contains the 500 to 600 words that are the most important to know in ANY language, and even prioritizes them as to which should be learned first.
You will want to print out that list and use it as your main reference and worksheet as you learn the language of your choice.
My Language Resource Guide — There's a ton of new courses out there for learning languages. We have Rosetta Stone, Pimsleur, Instant Immersion, and many others. What should you think of all of them?
Well the good thing about having me as your teacher is that I'm an addict for language methods myself. I separate them into different categories: those that "suck", those that are "good" and those that are "outstanding".
In this separate bonus language resources sheet, you'll get my reviews of the most popular methods out there, as well as lots of FREE resources that you should know when trying to learn any language.
My Language Guide — In addition to being interested in learning foreign languages, a topic that fascinates me even more is languages themselves. I have read a ton of books on linguistics and the history of language, so in this short bonus ebook I offer you my reviews of many popular languages, with some shocking and entertaining information about each of them, and also the best resources you can find for each language.

Summer Reading is a series on what each Philadelphia Seventy-Sixer needs to do this off season in order to bring the Sixers back to the playoffs in '07–08. Each member of the Sixers will get a reading list, we'll start with Bobby Jones, and end with Andre Iguodala (Least minutes per game to most).
Vital stats: 11.3 min, 44% FG, 32% 3PT, 69% FT, 1.1 reb, 1.8 asst, .36 steals, .75 turns, 4.3 ppg.
Required reading: Understanding Your Potential, by Myles Munroe; Fast, Cheap, and Under Control, by John Gaspard; Learning Curve, by Terry McLaughlin
Extra credit: Make Every Minute Count, by Harlan Lane and Christian Wayser
Suggested Viewing: The Apprentice
The Rub: Louis Williams was one of the great surprises of the season. In his rookie year, he seemed like he would be little more than a poor man's Iverson, or worst-case scenario, a poor man's Willie Green. All signs pointed to another gunner. This year, when he had Andre Miller to learn from, Williams showed himself to be much more.
Williams' assist-to-turnover ratio (2.4 to 1) was very good for a 19 year-old, and toward the end of the season, he played important minutes spelling Miller. Williams showed the ability to get the team into their offense, and handle pressure bringing the ball up. He's fast, and knows how to finish in the open floor.
The draft may affect Williams more than any other player. If the Sixers pick up a "true" point guard early in the draft (Acie Law, Mike Conley), he's going to probably fall back to third on the depth chart, and maybe ninth or tenth in the rotation. If the Sixers don't wind up with Law or Conley, Williams will see significant time as Miller's backup.
He needs to work on his jumper. He's a natural scorer, can get to the hole pretty much at will, and he's a high-flying finisher on the bench. I wouldn't be surprised to see him playing with Miller in the back court from time to time next year. Lou could have a bright future in Philly, or he could be buried on the bench. It all depends on the draft.

My excellent essence
Australia's best bloggers participate in #themessageproject to share messages of inspiration, life, love and happiness as part of Mount Franklin's celebration of the McGrath Foundation.
Hey you!
I am reading a book. I know. Ah-may-zing, considering I have not even finished Pride and Prejudice (btw, if you would like to write a post about P&P for this blog, please let me know so all our book club members can share in it!)
Anyhoo, back to this other book. It's called The Happiness Project. Have you read it? Have you heard about it? (You can download podcasts here, if you like!)
I first heard of it via a trail I followed from David Gauntlett over here. (I really like what David has to say about everyday creativity. After I heard his term, I realised THAT is what I am all about. Not so much about making a thing every day, but rather about having a creative approach to things daily and having a dive-in-trial-and-error-wide-eyed-determined-capable-excited daily approach to craft, and life in general. More about having a go, rather than having it perfect. (Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.)
The reason I have been thinking about all this stuff is that I have been writing a book proposal for a far away book. I want it to be super special and meaningful and fun. And I want it to be super positive. I've been thinking about craftiness and making things, for sure, but also I have been thinking about other things that really matter to me, the kinds of things that make people happy in general. I guess because making makes me happy, it's sort of lead me to Making Is Connecting and The Happiness Project. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear!
So, I've been trying to distill all the 'things that keep me happy and positive' into one 'Excellent Essence'. Things like looking for the interesting and the beautiful and the colourful. Things nostalgic and laced with childhood memories. Things that smell good and taste good and feel good and are good. Things that stretch my brain into happy knots. Things that make me happy-tired. The little everyday things that can keep things peachy.
From a craftier and no less peachy point of view, I have been thinking about craft and community, big parts of my Excellent Essence and happiness. And about craft and family, craft and friendship. I've been thinking about how making things together and for each other helps us get to know ourselves and each other better. I have been noticing the benefits of feeling a bit dorky and disarmed, making crafty, happy mistakes in front of strangers (or indeed friends!) in the name of craft and community. I've been thrilling at the way sharing crafty skills, times and traditions connects us in really happy ways, just like David says.
Ah happy. Don't you think that often the simplest, most lo-fi things make us happy?
Have you noticed that often unexpected, sometimes mundane things make us happy?
For instance, cleaning up a room and getting rid of crap we don't really need = happy
Getting up a bit earlier and having quiet cups of tea in a warm room = happy
Taking a walk every day and looking at the neighbourhood = happy
Remembering to stop and chat and laugh with someone you really like = happy
Being a bit more organised = happy
A tray of tea and a biscuit or two = happy
Smelling flowers with a big deep SNIFF = happy
Drinking more water = happy
A clean bathroom or a made bed = happy
So I bought The Happiness Project, which is all about these kinds of simple, happy, excellent moments. I have been reading it in the bath. And nodding. And smiling. And feeling excellent.
What makes you happy? Do you have an Excellent Essence?

What EU funding is available?
The European Investment Bank and the European Investment Fund mainly provide funding for investment.
The European Investment Bank and the European Investment Fund mainly provide funding for investment.
The European Investment Bank Group, which is made up of the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Investment Fund (EIF), mainly provides funding for investment.
The EIB is owned by the 27 Member States of the European Union. Each Member State's share in the EIB's capital is based on its economic weight within the European Union (expressed in GDP) at the time of its accession. However, no geographical or sectoral quotas are applied to the EIB's financing operations.
The EIB is the majority (61%) shareholder in the EIF, with the European Commission holding a 30% stake and various public and private financial institutions holding the remainder.
EIB Intermediated Loans
Small businesses in Ireland access EIB funding mainly through intermediated loans offered by banks. The EIB has provided more than €1,000 million in intermediated loans through partner banks in Ireland (AIB, Bank of Ireland, Bank of Scotland (Ireland) and Ulster Bank) since the start of 2000, with contracts worth €260 million signed in 2009 alone.
What is it?
An intermediated loan is a type of loan, which is provided indirectly by the EIB through banks, that enables small businesses to finance projects with a total investment cost of less than €25 million.
The EIB does not fund the business directly nor does it make the decision on whether a business should get a loan. The funding is provided indirectly through partnered commercial banks and financial institutions. These lenders decide whether or not to provide the loan to a business and set the conditions of financing (interest rate, loan period, etc.) although the loan periods will typically range between five and 12 years. To be eligible for the type of loan a business be an SME (that is, it should normally have fewer than 250 employees) and the funds must be used to support new productive investments.
The benefit of EIB loans is that it can be cheaper for lenders to borrow funds to lend to small businesses loans from the EIB than from another source. Participating banks pass on this cost advantage (a given amount in basis points) to eligible SMEs, as agreed with the EIB, which means that small businesses directly benefit from the lender's lower costs of borrowing. This financial advantage is clearly communicated to the final beneficiary in the loan documentation.
How do I apply?
Small businesses interested in applying for an EIB loan should contact one of the EIB's intermediary banks. The EIB maintains a list of current intermediaries and their contact details on its website here.
The EIF provides two types of funding supports for small businesses: equity investment through venture and growth capital or credit products (primarily guarantees). Like the EIB, the EIF does not provide finance directly to small businesses but works through intermediaries.
European Investment Fund Venture Capital Facilities
The EIF acts as a fund of funds supporting venture capital and private equity funds that invest in small businesses, particularly high-growth and innovative companies that are in their early stages of development. Most of the EIF-supported funds investing in Ireland concentrate on companies involved in information and communications technology (ICT) or life sciences. The EIF equity portfolio in Irish small businesses was €98 million by the end of 2010.
How do I apply?
The EIF does not provide funding directly so entrepreneurs looking for investors with EIF backing should contact one of the funds supported by the EIF. These funds decide make investment decisions based on their own commercial criteria. A full list of all venture capital and private equity funds that have been backed by the EIF is available on the EIF website here.
What is venture capital?
Venture capital is medium to long-term finance provided by professional investment companies in return for an equity stake. The companies typically invest in businesses, which are not listed on a stock exchange, with high growth potential at the early (seed or start-up) or growth stage of development.
For more information on venture capital in Ireland, visit the website of the Irish Venture Capital Association here.
Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) - EU Guarantees
The EIF also provides credit insurance/guarantees and credit enhancements to institutions providing small business loans. These guarantees are known as EU Guarantees and are provided under the SME Guarantee Facility, which is funded by the European Union under the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP 2007-2013). The overall objective of CIP is to improve access to finance for start-up and growth of small businesses and promote investments in innovation, including eco-innovation.
The SME Guarantee Facility benefits small businesses because it reduces the lender's risk and incentivises them to lend to businesses that might not normally be approved for credit. The EIF's credit insurance facility allows the Fund to take up to 50% of the credit risk on every individual loan.
The EIF's guarantee portfolio in Ireland totalled €3 million by the end of 2010.
How do I apply?
To apply for a loan, a business must be an eligible SME as defined for CIP by the European Commission. The enterprise must have:
The EIF maintains a list of CIP loan finance providers in Ireland and publishes it on its website here.

A total of five area runners have earned trips to next Saturday's FHSAA Florida Finals.
A total of five area runners have earned trips to next Saturday's FHSAA Florida Finals.
Vanguard's Elizabeth Mulford, along with Belleview's Catherine Blaney and Melody Yero earned spots at the Class 3A state meet at Tallahassee's Apalachee Park.
They will join St. John Lutheran's Ashley Gallinaro (1A), who qualified on Friday, as well as Dunnellon's Victor Chicas-Aguilar (2A), the lone male runner to qualify from the area.
Mulford finished sixth overall in the very tough Region 3A-1 meet at Tallahassee's Sunnyhill Farms on Saturday morning with a time of 19 minutes and 2 seconds.
At the Region 3A-2 at Lecanto High School, Blaney, meanwhile, had an impressive third place effort with a time of 18:44, while Yero took eighth with a time of 19:57.
"I'm definitely very happy with the way the girls ran," Rattlers coach Jason Pfriender said. "(Yero) came in ranked 15th and she finished eighth, so we were pleased."
Belleview's girls took ninth overall with a team score of 214 and didn't advance, while its boys team didn't have any individuals move on.
The Rattlers were led on the boys' side by Redondo Beauplan, who finished 44th overall with a time of 17:36.
Other standouts for BHS included: Sean Fillipucci (55th/18:11) and Austin Carroll (58th/18:12).
Belleview's boys, which ran without its top runner Boston Fitzpatrick, was 13th overall and had a team score of 316 in seeing its season come to an end.
Meanwhile, the Knights also were unable to move either of their teams on from 3A-1.
Vanguard's boys finished 14th at the event and didn't have any runners place among the top 15.
David Rood of VHS was the area's top finisher at the event, as he took 35th overall with a time of 16:53, while Lake Weir's Chandler Soucey was 46th overall.
For the girls, Vanguard finished 16th, as it ran without standout Audrey Carpenter, who was out sick.
In Region 2A-2 at Lake Nona, Chicas-Aguilar advanced to state for the second straight year by placing ninth time with a time of 17:37.
Dunnellon's boys took 12th and didn't advance, while Trinity Catholic was 14th.
The Celtics, who were paced by Brooke Banner's 19th-place finish that was nine seconds off of advancing, were 11th for the girls and didn't move on.

Compiled by Chris Bolgiano, Dec. 1998
Scope and Content.
This collection is composed of two small ledgers, 1883-1890, that probably document a sawmill operation. The provenance of the ledgers is unknown, but according to the previous owners the location of the business operation was most likely Shenandoah or Rockingham Counties, VA or Pendleton County, WV. The majority of entries, made under individual names, are payments for chopping, hauling, and sawing logs or making boards or planks; some refer to other lumber products such as switch and first and second class ties (presumably for a railroad). Many of the entries document the 1890 tanbark peeling season, beginning on April 28 with notations for "making road," then on April 29 into mid-June for peeling, hauling, sledding, ranking, carrying out, and loading bark in car (again, presumably railroad). Other commodities are also occasionally mentioned, including cabbage, apple butter, potatoes, buckwheat, wheat, tobacco, beef, pork, articles of clothing, and blankets.
Provenance. Purchased at Green Valley Auction Barn in Nov. 1998.

It's the Versitile Blogger Award! I couldn't believe it! Anne from Wobi Sobi passed it on to me. She has a fabulous blog, be sure to go visit her. Thank you so much, Anne!
Here are the rules.
1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers.
4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award and let the giver know you accept the award.
This was the hard part for me, talking about myself!
1. My favorite color is blue.
2. February and March is a hard time of year for me. My Daddy and Mom died in these months, 13 and 8 years ago. I still miss them horribly. I just know they are in Heaven looking down and so proud (and probably shocked) that I'm doing this blog.
3. I would rather all the kids and grandkids just come over and hang out with us than going out anywhere! I love when we're all together.
4. If I ever win the lottery, I'm taking the whole family to Maui. Greg and I went there for our 30th wedding anniversary and had the time of our lives. Everyone should visit there at least once in their lives.
5. Which leads me to this little fact. I didn't name my blog, Greg did. He nicknamed me Princess when we were in Maui. Actually, when you're in Maui, everyone is a Princess! Well, the girls, at least.
6. I wake up early every morning. Sometimes that's great and other times I hate it. I cannot sleep past 5 as much as I would like to. Please don't tell me it's old age.
7. I love Greg more than life itself, but I have one little thing that he does that drives me crazy! Sometimes during the night when he can't sleep, he gets up to eat ice cream. That's fine, and I never hear him get up, but the next morning I always know he's been to the kitchen. You see, when he starts digging in the freezer, anything in his way gets put on top of the refrigerator and forgets about it! I get to find it there (thawed) the next morning. Lovely, huh?
Okay, now for the easy part. I'm passing this award on to these lovely ladies and their fabulous blogs!
Then just when I thought things couldn't get much better, I was featured on Child Made, Sumo's Sweet Stuff, Sassy Site's and Keeping It Simple! I know it sounds crazy, but I felt like Sally Field in her acceptance speech when she won the Oscar. You like me! You really like me! Now I can put their buttons on my side bar. Thank you again, Sheri, Sumo, Marni, and Kaysi!

Lahoud Aims to Revive Lebanon's Role as East-West Link
Lebanonese President Emile Lahoud, who will start an official two-day visit to Tunisia on Wednesday, aims to revive Lebanon's status as a link between the West and East on both Arab and international levels, reported the official Kuwaiti news agency, KUNA.
Citing an interview with the Tunisian news agency on the occasion of Lahoud's visit, KUNA said the president expressed hope that his country would return its previous role as a main cultural and tourist center for Arab countries and as a connection between the West and the East.
However, Lahoud did not deny his disappointment over not receiving the Arab aid needed for major projects to reconstruct Lebanon, which was once an Arab financial and recreation center.
In the interview, Lahoud said that reconstructing the liberated lands in the south required a huge amount of assistance, adding that many Arab countries had promised to help, but only a few countries had fulfilled their pledges.
"We ask our brotherly Arab countries to provide the resistance factors for a country that resists US-backed Israeli pressures," he said, according to the agency.
At the international level, Lahoud also wishes to bring back Lebanon's bright image, which has always "reflected the peaceful coexistence among religions, nationalities and civilizations." – Albawaba.com

Are you looking for just the facts on this so you can then build your own work around it?
Hi JACUSTOMER-of3xniwf:
Here is the information:
Before UCC/UCITA federal attempt at uniformity:
- Commerce Clause of Constitution gives federal govt. full control over "interstate commerce" (commerce between the states)
- Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 created Interstate Commerce Commission to regulate interstate commerce
Differences Art.2 vs. UCITA:
- Art. involves sales of tangible goods but UCITA involves sale of computer goods (software, databases, code, etc.) which may or may not be tangible.
- UCITA warranties give consumers fewer rights to return products than Art.2 does
Sale vs lic.:
- a sale gives a buyer all rights of ownership and removes all control over the item or product from the seller. A buyer has the right to use the product in any way, the right to sell the product to others and the right to control how others can use the product, no limits.
- a license provides a buyer only limited rights and the seller of a license retains all rights and can tell the buyer what he can and cannot do with the licensed product or item
Why separate act:
- Art.2 deals with tangible goods but UCITA does not only involve tangible goods
- Different legal rights involved in each sale/purchase
- Different warranty rights and protections
- these make it too difficult to keep these together
Please remember to accept your answer so I can be paid for my work. Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.

CoEnzyme Q10 (USP 3)
CoEnzyme Q10 (USP 3) is a yellow to orange crystalline powder that functions as an antioxidant, which protects the body from damage caused by harmful molecules and helps convert food into energy. This products is naturally present in small amounts in a wide variety of foods, but levels are particularly high in organ meats such as heart, liver, and kidney, as well as beef, soy oil, sardines, mackerel, and peanuts. CoEnzyme Q10 (USP 3) helps enzymes work to digest food and perform other body processes, and they help protect the heart and skeletal muscles. CoEnzyme Q10 (USP 3) is used in dietary supplements.

The 45-year-old from Alabama is the only fighter to have been crowned world champion on four occasions but retains the desire to go one better.
"I'm going to keep on fighting and be heavyweight champion one more time," he told BBC Scotland's Sports Weekly.
"Once I do that, I'll write another book and tell everyone how I did it."
Holyfield last held a version of the heavyweight title in 2000.
But he fought for the WBO heayweight belt as recently as October, when he was outpointed by Russian holder Sultan Ibragimov.
And his next bout could well be a non-title re-match with fellow ex-heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, 41, in July.
Holyfield has been boxing for 24 years and hopes he will be able to hang up his gloves before 2008 is out.
"It won't be hard to call it a day," he continued.
"All my life my goal has been to retire as heavyweight champion of the world.
"By the end of this year I should be able to do that because I should have everything that I want."
George Foreman is the oldest man in history to become heavyweight champion, winning a version of the title aged 45 in 1994.
And Holyfield, who's proposed third clash with Tyson has attracted criticism, remembers having reservations about taking on a mature Foreman back in 1990.
"I didn't want that fight," he recalled. "He was 42 and if I won I wasn't going to get any credit.
"But then my manager told me 'we're going to get $20m and then we'll get $30m for fighting Mike Tyson'.
"Sometimes it's good to have these business people around."
What are these?

POLICE officers plan to tackle anti-social behaviour in Warrington by increasing their presence on the streets following the closure of schools for the Easter holidays.
A spokesman for Warrington East Police Station said: "The holidays start this weekend and we will have extra officers on the ground to deal robustly with any anti-social behaviour.
"We ask that parents find out where and with whom they are going out with. The youths need to know that their behaviour may affect them gaining employment in the future."

So Richard Timberlake Jr. thinks there was "no terrorism" in Iraq "before the U.S. invasion" of that country (Letter, "Democrats should force a halt to the war in Iraq," Feb. 23)?
Really? You wouldn't consider Saddam Hussein a terrorist? Repeatedly using chemical and conventional weapons against the Kurds and others in Iraq, slaughtering hundreds of thousands in the process, doesn't constitute terrorism? Mass graves, rape rooms and torture chambers? Feeding people feet-first into industrial-sized paper shredders? Interminable imprisonment for no reason at all? Basically stifling any and all dissent by killing, maiming or imprisoning anyone who you even think disagrees with you - and often their families as well? None of these strike you as the acts of a terrorist?
Just because Saddam perpetrated these acts upon his own people, while the United Nations and other world bodies - including the U.S. government, for a long time - looked the other way and did nothing to stop him, doesn't mean they weren't terroristic.
Saddam was one of the most evil, demented, callous, tyrannical terrorists to ever walk the face of the Earth. Personally, I'm happy he's dead.

By Aishah Ali
Quarter of young Britons said that they do not trust Muslims and feel that the country would be better off without them, a recent poll found. The study, for BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat, showed that 44 per cent believe Muslims did not share the same values as the rest of the population.
Of the one thousand 18-24 year olds questioned, 27 per cent said that they did not trust Muslims and 60 per cent thought the British public had a negative image of Muslims. 26 per cent blamed the rise in Islamophobia on terror groups abroad, while 21 per cent think the reason is UK Muslims who have committed acts of terror. However, 23 per cent felt the blame rested with the media and its portrayal of Islam.
Other government findings have found major problems with the role of the media and Islam. The Leveson inquiry into press standards report concluded there was "a serious and systemic problem of racist, anti-Muslim reporting within sections of the British media."
This BBC poll carried out by ComRes, a UK research group, was conducted in June, a few weeks after the Woolwich terrorist attack. The findings were "understandable but no less shocking", according to spokesperson for the Muslim Council of Britain, Talha Ahmad. He also blamed the results on a "climate of negativity" in the British media.
Asked about other religious groups, the poll found that 16% said they didn't trust Hindus or Sikhs, 15% said they didn't trust Jewish people, that figure was 13% for Buddhists and 12% said they didn't trust Christians.
Almost one in three (29%) think Muslims are doing enough to combat extremism in their communities. However, overall young people are more likely to agree (48%) than disagree (27%) that Islam is a peaceful religion.

Temper Tantrums
As your toddler enters the 'terrible twos', tantrums are inevitable.
Toddlers have tantrums because they can't express themselves properly. It's a sign they can't cope. As soon as your child learns to talk, the tantrums will ease. Right now, toddlers need to be taught how to deal with their emotions and how to tell you what they want.
TriggersFrustration, tiredness and hunger cause tantrums. Your child wants your attention and will scream to get it. If your child is anxious and insecure, the more likely tantrums will be. Remember a toddler is still very attached to you. You're the main source of security and anything that takes away your attention - which your child may have enjoyed exclusively until now - is unsettling.
The toddler's world is very small and the number of people they feels secure with is limited. Any major changes in your life like a new baby, a full-time job, moving house or getting new childcare, has a major impact on your little one. Your child may be acting like a monster but still needs love and assurance.
Alter Your Lifestyle for an Easier LifeWard off tiredness and hunger with a routine that includes regular snacks and meals and at least one nap a day. Try and keep the big picture in view and don't pick unnecessary fights. Tantrums happen when toddlers are thwarted. Toddlers want to be like you - drive the car, wash up and dress himself. Be patient and help them learn. Meet your child halfway sometimes and ignore minor tantrums. Children who feel they get what they want most of the time, won't turn into spoilt monsters, but will be easier to manage.
Exercise Avoidance TacticsMost parents know there are certain subject that provoke tantrums. If your toddler has tantrums over sweets and biscuits, keep them out of reach (or only buy them occasionally). Or if you know your child usually gets upset at the checkout, keep shopping trips short.

World Land Speed Challenger Will Now Be Powered by Rockets
News Release 29 October 2012
New Zealand's Land Speed Record Challenger, Jetblack Will Now Be Powered by Rockets
Jetblack, the New Zealand led group that will contest the World Land Speed record, today unveiled a new aerodynamic design and propulsion system for its 1,000mph challenger. The new design is powered by two hybrid rocket motors, dispensing with the combined jet engine and rocket propulsion system in the earlier design.
Richard Nowland, Jetblack's Managing Director & Founder said, "The work the group's design team has undertaken over the past 12 months has resulted in a car that is less complex, produces considerably less drag, has greater controllability and the potential to achieve the target speed more quickly. In all, this is a significant advance over its predecessor.
"There are two main points of difference with the new design. The first is the move to solely rocket propulsion using two hybrid rocket motors currently under development with our propulsion partners Space Propulsion Group, CA, USA. We established the relationship with Space Propulsion Group, who a world-leaders in hybrid rocket propulsion, in 2011."
The hybrid rocket propulsion system was selected due to its inherent safety and simplicity over other rocket systems. Space Propulsion Group Co-Founder, President & CTO, Dr Arif Karabeyoglu explains, "SPG's advanced hybrid rockets deliver very high performance while retaining the safety, simplicity and controllability of classical hybrids. The inherent safety, throttling and shut down are the key virtues of SPG's rocket technology which makes it ideal for this particular application."
The change from jet and rockets to rockets only was made after considered discussions with Space Propulsion Group on the controllability of the rocket motors. SPG are developing a hybrid rocket propulsion system that can be throttle controlled, which means the thrust of the rocket can be varied. This work-in-progress will represent a significant breakthrough and will provide Jetblack with a competitive advantage.
The hybrid rockets [These rocket motors are currently under development by SPG at their test facility in Butte, Montana. A video of the most recent test can be found here http://jetblacklsr.com/news/new-releases) ] in the new design also produce greater thrust, 35,000lb x2 as opposed to 20,000lbs x2, are of the same type that have been chosen to power Virgin Galactic's passenger spacecraft. Unlike jet engines which require an air intake, with the rocket propulsion system all the fuel and oxidiser can be carried on board the vehicle. Eliminating this requirement for Jetblack has positive effects on both the aerodynamics and the vehicle's structure.
Richard Roake, Jetblack's lead aerodynamicist says, "The new challenger's design minimises drag. It produces approximately one-third less drag than the earlier versions, enabling the car to accelerate to the required speed faster. The new design is also shorter by almost three metres so it has less surface area, which has contributed to its lower aerodynamic resistance, and weighs around two tonnes less."
Richard Nowland says, "A further benefit of having a solely rocket powdered design is that we have been able to lose the complexity of having control systems for each engine type. We now have far simpler and safer vehicle using Nytrox, which is the oxidiser for the rocket motors. Nytrox is a proprietary formulation from SPG and contributes appreciably to the high performance of the rocket motors; the system is pressure fed and requires no pumps."
During a high speed run, the new Jetblack will shed around 3,100kg of weight, around 40% of the total weight of the car.
The Jetblack team plan to select the venue for testing and the subsequent high speed runs within 12 months and begin to build their vehicle in 2013. Initial low speed testing will take place in 2014, with the high speed testing and challenge taking place during 2015 and 2016.
The current Land Speed record stands at 763mph and was set by Great Britain's Thrust SSC in October 1997 at Black Rock Desert in Nevada, USA.
Richard Nowland says, "The new design represents a significant advance for the design of the vehicle and with this last major decision now behind us, the team is focused on the integration of the other componentary required, preparatory to building the challenger vehicle in 2013."
Jetblack is a Wellington-based and New Zealand led challenge for the World Land Speed Record and was founded in 2007 by Richard Nowland. Jetblack has the core aim of promoting New Zealand engineering and technology both within NZ and abroad.

Class description
Buildings and films can tell many stories about our identity as members of specific communities in time and place. This course will take us around the world, from the Forbidden City in Beijing to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, from the Forum Romanum in Rome to the Golden Pavilion in Kyoto. Each week will focus on a different location and examine how architecture and cinema have defined the site's history and memory. We will ask how one excavates the multiple layers of material history, cultural symbolism, and subjective memory in architectural and cinematic spaces. We will focus on the way places and films expose or cover up alternative narratives, and will investigate how architects and filmmakers tease out the stories hidden in structures and images. We will look at how architects and filmmakers produce various orders of space and time. And we shall examine what it means to know those structures as pre-modern, modern, or postmodern, as expressions of a universal or particular viewpoint, or as the manifestations of colonizer or colonized. For the final assignment, students will use a creative project to relate their own stories and insights about being in time and space.

Taming the Beast
This quest is not available in game.
Use the Taming Rod to tame a Crazed Dragonhawk, and then return to Lieutenant Dawnrunner.
- Tame a Crazed Dragonhawk
- Taming Rod (Provided)
You have undoubtedly hunted and slain beasts for both your defense and sustenance, yet to befriend them and harness their strengths is only now within your grasp. This I can teach you.
Take this magical taming rod that allows a wild animal to temporarily bond and fight beside you. Begin with the crazed dragonhawk, a nearly docile bird found just outside of Farstrider Retreat. Return to me when this is done.
