  • (DISEC) of NGMUN 2021! My Name Is Katie Cheung, and I Am Thrilled to Be Your Chair Alongside My Incredible Co-Chair, Chris Tillen
    Dear Delegates, Welcome to the General Assembly First Committee: Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC) of NGMUN 2021! My name is Katie Cheung, and I am thrilled to be your chair alongside my incredible co-chair, Chris Tillen. Currently, I am a sophomore at the Noble and Greenough School. I have grown up outside of Boston, Massachusetts where I enjoy playing soccer and the violin as well as running track (bonus points if you’ll talk about the Premier League with me). I also have a bunny named Coda, and love to go on hikes with my dog Maple! I was introduced to Model UN as a freshman, and instantly fell in love with the critical thinking and public speaking it requires. Since then, MUN has become one of my favorite extracurricular activities while fostering some of my closest friendships. I have participated in various General Assembly committees at Harvard University, Clark University, UCLA, and more. From presenting speeches during moderated caucuses to negotiating mergers outside the committee room, I learned to think quickly and formulate effective solutions for real-life problems. I hope to support you all in doing the same, although a virtual conference will be a new experience for many of you! Artificial Intelligence (AI) Weaponry is probably a topic you do not often think about, but it represents a growing threat to the maintenance of global peace. At the forefront of the discussion are questions regarding the relationship between autonomous weapons and their development, ethicality, and implementation. You must consider how to address AI in the hands of terrorist organizations along with the humanitarian benefits it possesses.

  • Roman Roads in Britain
    ROMAN ROADS IN BRITAIN c < t < r c ROMAN ROADS IN BRITAIN BY THE LATE THOMAS CODRINGTON M, INST.C. E., F. G S. fFITH LARGE CHART OF THE ROMAN ROADS AND SMALL MAPS IN THE TEXT REPRINT OF THIRD EDITION LONDON SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1919 . • r r 11 'X/^i-r * ' Ci First Edition^ 1903 Second Edition, Revised, 1905 Tliird Edition, Revised, 1918 (.Reprint), 19 „ ,, 19 PREFACE The following attempt to describe the Roman roads of Britain originated in observations made in all parts of the country as opportunities presented themselves to me from time to time. On turning to other sources of information, the curious fact appeared that for a century past the litera- ture of the subject has been widely influenced by the spurious Itinerary attributed to Richard of Cirencester. Though that was long ago shown to be a forgery, statements derived from it, and suppositions founded upon them, are continually repeated, casting suspicion sometimes unde- served on accounts which prove to be otherwise accurate. A wide publicity, and some semblance of authority, have been given to imaginary roads and stations by the new Ordnance maps. Those who early in the last century, under the influence of the new Itinerary, traced the Roman roads, unfortunately left but scanty accounts of the remains which came under their notice, many of which have since been destroyed or covered up in the making of modern roads; and with the evidence now available few Roman roads can be traced continuously. The gaps can often be filled with reasonable certainty, but more often the precise course is doubtful, and the entire course of some roads connecting known stations of the Itinerary of Antonine can only be guessed at.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation w s s produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand marki!^ or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document phorographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was posable to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting tiiru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin phoroing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • 1 Street Samurai
    1 STREET SAMURAI You're about to enter the hyper-reality of ZAIBATSU, only the most cunning, streetsmart techno-samurai will survive. As the street soldiers of the world's most powerful corporations (the Japanese zaibatsu) you become expendable and deniable employees fighting for profits, power and your lives. These chapters look at the rules of ZAIBATSU and how the game mechanics operate. The system emphasizes speed of play not nit-picking detail and uses the common all-garden six-sided dice. Each player will need two of these dice. Before you can jack into 21st century Tokyo every player is gonna need an alter ego to take all the punches, dodge all the blows and be the player's eyes and ears. These are the "anti-heroes" that the players will be using in the game. Always keep in mind the urbanized, high-tech, Japanese setting of ZAIBATSU when creating the PCs (player-characters), most should be of Japanese origin since foreigners (gaijin) are not exactly able to fit seamlessly into Tokyo life. Every player character is an employee of one of the vast multinational zaibatsu. He or she has been recruited from the dark and murky Japanese underworld to carry out illegal terrorist activities on behalf of that employer. They have one foot in the stylish corporate-minded boardrooms of the zaibatsu, and one foot in the filth and squalor of the criminal underworld. Hired by duty-bound executives who must at all times remain respectable, the player characters are modern street samurai, urban warriors doing the disreputable things that no corporate executive could ever admit to.

It is a great pleasure to introduce it to you. I hope it will become a salutary tool to promote and facilitate "The Interagency Interaction in Crisis Management and Disaster Response". Herewith I would like to stress the importance CMDR COE pays on such cooperation through meeting opinions in the sphere of professional interests. Over the past years, our organization participated, hosted and organized a number of key courses, seminars and conferences in the crisis management and disaster response domain. Among the leading events are the CMDR COE Annual conferences based on the themes of the importance of interagency interactions. Present book is a very good example of our efforts through the year 2019 to provide venue in support of mutual understanding and interaction in crisis management and disaster response. Therefore the present edition covers aspects from several authors and their thoughts on CMDR domain.
